[0021] Obtain the clothing information from the clothing processing instruction;

[0022] Based on the clothing information, the various clothing treatment agents, and a preset relationship, the standard dosage ratio of the various clothing treatment agents is determined, wherein the preset relationship is the correspondence between the clothing information, the various clothing treatment agents, and the dosage ratio of the various clothing treatment agents;

[0025] Obtain the third and fourth target treatment agents corresponding to the current deployment ratio that is not equal to the standard deployment ratio;

[0026] If the difference in the current delivery value corresponding to the third target treatment agent and the difference in the current delivery value corresponding to the fourth target treatment agent both exceed the preset difference value, then the delivery device is determined to be in a fault state, and a third fault information is output. The third fault information is used to indicate that there is an abnormality in the delivery of the third target treatment agent and the fourth target treatment agent by the delivery device.

[0027] In one possible design, the method further includes:

[0028] If the difference in the current delivery value corresponding to the third target treatment agent or the difference in the current delivery value corresponding to the fourth target treatment agent exceeds the preset difference value, the delivery device is determined to be in a fault state, and a fourth fault information is output. The fourth fault information is used to indicate that there is an abnormality in the delivery of the fifth target treatment agent by the delivery device, wherein the fifth target treatment agent is the third target treatment agent or the fourth target treatment agent.

[0048] Figure 7 This is a hardware schematic diagram of a fault determination device for a garment processing equipment provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0052] In this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0053] With the development of technology and the improvement of people's living efficiency, people are using clothing treatment equipment more and more frequently. In this process, people's demands for the intelligence of clothing treatment equipment are also increasing. Responding to the problem that users find it difficult to accurately control the timing and amount of clothing treatment agent application, clothing treatment equipment with integrated automatic dispensing functions has become popular among many users. This function determines which clothing treatment agents to use and the corresponding dosage based on clothing information such as weight, material, and cleanliness. During the clothing treatment operation, the control dispensing device delivers the clothing treatment agent into the inner drum.

[0054] However, if the dispensing device malfunctions when dispensing the laundry detergent, it may result in insufficient detergent being dispensed, while the laundry treatment equipment still performs the corresponding laundry treatment operation, thus causing the clothes to not be cleaned.

[0055] Therefore, this application proposes a method for determining whether the dispensing device of a clothing processing equipment is faulty. The method mainly involves acquiring the dispensing status of the clothing processing agent by the dispensing device in real time during the execution of the clothing processing instruction by the clothing processing equipment, obtaining the actual dispensing rate of the clothing processing agent based on the dispensing status, and then determining whether the actual dispensing rate reaches the preset dispensing rate. If it does not reach the preset dispensing rate, the method continues to acquire the difference between the actual dispensing amount and the theoretical dispensing amount of the clothing processing agent. If the actual dispensing amount of a certain clothing processing agent is lower than the theoretical dispensing amount, it can be determined that the dispensing device of the clothing processing equipment is abnormal in dispensing that type of clothing processing agent, and at this time the dispensing device is in a faulty state.

[0056] The following is combined with Figure 1 The application scenarios of this application will be explained.

[0057] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario provided by an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the scenario includes a clothing processing device 101 and a server 102. In this embodiment, the execution entity is the server 102. In other embodiments, the execution entity may be other smart devices or the clothing processing device 101. This application does not limit this.

[0058] The clothing processing device 101 is a device that can perform corresponding clothing processing operations according to the clothing processing instructions issued by the server 102. The clothing processing device 101 is equipped with a dispensing device for dispensing at least one clothing processing agent.

[0059] During the execution of clothing processing instructions by the clothing processing device 101, the server 102 obtains in real time the cumulative amount and duration of the application of at least one clothing processing agent by the application device; for each clothing processing agent, the server determines the real-time application rate based on the cumulative amount and duration of the application; if the real-time application rate does not reach the preset application rate, the server obtains the actual amount of clothing processing agent applied in this application process.

[0060] When the actual amount of the first target treatment agent is lower than the theoretical amount, the dispensing device is determined to be in a fault state, and the first fault information is output. The first fault information is used to indicate that there is an abnormality in the dispensing of the first target treatment agent by the dispensing device.

[0061] Server 102 can output first fault information to the user terminal associated with clothing processing device 101; it can also output first fault information to clothing processing device 101. After receiving the first fault information, clothing processing device 101 can display the first fault information to the user or remind the user using its own preset prompt method.

[0062] When there is no first target treatment agent with an actual dosage lower than the theoretical dosage, it can be determined that the dispensing device is in normal condition.

[0063] Based on the cooperation between the above-mentioned devices, the working status of the dispensing device on the clothing processing equipment can be accurately determined by combining the two values ​​of dispensing rate and dispensing amount, avoiding misjudgment caused by accidental factors.

[0064] The technical solutions of this application and how they solve the aforementioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments may exist independently or in combination with each other. Identical or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0065] Figure 2 A flowchart of a fault determination method for a garment processing device provided in this application embodiment. Figure 1 .like Figure 2 As shown, this method is applied to a garment processing device, which is equipped with a dispensing device for dispensing at least one garment processing agent. The method includes:

[0066] S201. During the execution of clothing processing instructions by the clothing processing equipment, the cumulative amount and duration of application of at least one clothing processing agent by the dispensing device are obtained in real time.

[0067] In the above scheme, the dispensing device is used to dispense the clothing treatment agent. When the clothing treatment equipment performs the clothing treatment operation, the dispensing device is needed to dispense the clothing treatment agent. The amount of clothing treatment agent dispensed by the dispensing device directly affects the effect of clothing treatment. Therefore, the real-time dispensing status of the clothing treatment agent can be monitored.

[0068] S202. For each type of garment treatment agent, determine the real-time application rate based on the cumulative application amount and cumulative application duration.

[0069] In this step, after obtaining the cumulative amount of each type of clothing treatment agent dispensed by the dispensing device within the cumulative dispensing time, the real-time dispensing rate of the dispensing device for each type of clothing treatment agent within this time period can be calculated.

[0070] S203. If the real-time delivery rate does not reach the preset delivery rate, obtain the actual amount of clothing treatment agent delivered in this delivery process.

[0071] In the above scheme, the calculated real-time dispensing rate is compared with the preset dispensing rate. If the real-time dispensing rate is lower than the preset dispensing rate, it can be preliminarily determined that there is an abnormality in the dispensing of this type of clothing treatment agent by the current dispensing device. It may be that the dispensing device is blocked, or it may be that the dispensing is not smooth due to a problem with the clothing treatment agent itself.

[0072] In the specific implementation process, considering the differences between different laundry treatment agents, the preset dosing rate of different laundry treatment agents can be different. Taking detergent as an example, the preset dosing rate of detergent can be 0.5mL / s or 2mL / s.

[0073] S204. When the actual amount of the first target treatment agent is lower than the theoretical amount, the dispensing device is determined to be in a fault state, and the first fault information is output. The first fault information is used to indicate that there is an abnormality in the dispensing of the first target treatment agent by the dispensing device.

[0074] In the above scheme, it has been determined that the dispensing rate of the clothing treatment agent is lower than the preset dispensing rate. In this case, if the final dispensing amount of the clothing treatment agent is lower than the theoretical threshold, it can be accurately determined that there is an abnormality in the dispensing of the clothing treatment agent by the dispensing device.

[0075] In practice, different types of clothing require different amounts of detergent during the treatment process. Taking detergent as an example, assuming that all other conditions of the clothing are the same except for the weight of the clothing, 1 kg of clothing can require 10 mL or 15 mL of detergent.

[0076] In this embodiment, by acquiring the real-time data on the dispensing of the clothing treatment agent by the dispensing device during the execution of the clothing treatment instruction by the clothing treatment equipment, it is determined whether the real-time dispensing rate of the clothing treatment agent reaches the preset dispensing rate. If the actual dispensing rate does not meet the standard, it is further determined whether the actual dispensing amount of the clothing treatment agent does not reach the theoretical dispensing amount. If the actual dispensing amount of the clothing treatment agent does not reach the theoretical dispensing amount, it can be determined that there is an abnormality in the dispensing of the clothing treatment agent by the dispensing device, thereby achieving the real-time monitoring effect of the dispensing device on the dispensing of different clothing treatment agents.

[0077] Figure 3 A flowchart of a fault determination method for a garment processing device provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 .like Figure 3 As shown, based on the foregoing embodiments, the method includes:

[0078] S301. During the execution of clothing processing instructions by the clothing processing equipment, the cumulative amount and duration of the dispensing device for at least one clothing processing agent are obtained in real time.

[0079] S302. For each type of garment treatment agent, determine the real-time application rate based on the cumulative application amount and cumulative application duration.

[0080] S303. If the real-time delivery rate does not reach the preset delivery rate, obtain the actual amount of clothing treatment agent delivered in this delivery process.

[0081] S304. When the actual amount of the first target treatment agent is lower than the theoretical amount, the dispensing device is determined to be in a fault state, and the first fault information is output. The first fault information is used to indicate that there is an abnormality in the dispensing of the first target treatment agent by the dispensing device.

[0082] S305. For each type of garment treatment agent, when the actual dosage is not lower than the theoretical dosage, obtain the difference between the actual dosage and the theoretical dosage for this dosage.

[0083] In this step, if the final dosage of any garment treatment agent is lower than the theoretical threshold, it is necessary to further determine whether there is an overdose of each garment treatment agent. If the dosage of the garment treatment agent is seriously excessive, the dosing device should also be considered to have an abnormal dosing of that type of garment treatment agent, because excessive dosing of garment treatment agent may result in too much garment treatment agent on the garment, or even damage to the garment.

[0084] S306. If the difference in the current application exceeds the preset difference, then obtain the historical application data of the clothing treatment agent. The historical application data includes M historical application differences of the clothing treatment agent. The M historical application differences and the current application difference are continuous in time, where M is a positive integer.

[0085] In the above scheme, if the difference in the current dosage exceeds the preset difference, it indicates that the dosage device has overdone the clothing treatment agent. However, in order to avoid abnormalities in the dosage device caused by accidental factors, it is necessary to combine the historical dosage data of this type of clothing treatment agent to determine whether the dosage device has overdone the clothing treatment agent multiple times.

[0086] In the actual implementation process, different types of clothing require different amounts of detergent during the treatment process, so the preset difference corresponding to different detergents is also different. Taking detergent as an example, assuming that all other conditions of the clothing are the same except for the weight of the clothing, when 1 kg of clothing requires 10 mL of detergent, the preset difference can be 20 mL; when 1 kg of clothing requires 15 mL of detergent, the preset difference can be 25 mL.

[0087] S307. Based on the difference between historical delivery data and the current delivery, determine the fault information of the delivery device.

[0088] In this step, the historical delivery data includes continuous historical delivery differences over time. These historical delivery differences can reflect whether the delivery device has exceeded the delivery limit for this type of clothing treatment agent in the past period, and the specific amount of the excess. By combining the historical delivery situation and the current delivery situation, it can be determined whether there is any abnormality in the delivery of this type of clothing treatment agent by the delivery device.

[0089] In the specific implementation process, the presence of a fault in the dispensing device can be determined by the cumulative number of times the historical dispensing difference exceeds a preset difference in the historical dispensing data. For example, if there are N consecutive historical dispensing differences exceeding the preset difference in the M historical dispensing differences and the current dispensing difference for the second target agent, the dispensing device is determined to be in a fault state, and the second fault information is output. The second fault information is used to indicate that there is an abnormality in the dispensing of the second target agent by the dispensing device, where N is a positive integer and N is less than or equal to M.

[0090] S308. If the difference in the current dosage does not exceed the preset difference, then it is determined that the dosage device is dispensing the clothing treatment agent normally.

[0091] In the above scheme, if the difference in the amount of clothing treatment agent dispensed this time does not exceed the preset difference, it means that the dispensing device has not dispensed an excessive amount of clothing treatment agent this time, and the dispensing device can dispense the clothing treatment agent normally.

[0092] For steps that are the same as those in the foregoing embodiments, please refer to the description of the foregoing embodiments, and they will not be repeated here.

[0093] In this embodiment of the application, based on the aforementioned embodiments, when the actual dosage of any clothing treatment agent is lower than the theoretical dosage, the difference between the actual dosage and the theoretical dosage is further obtained. If the difference is large, the device is considered to be malfunctioning based on its past dosage of the clothing treatment agent. If the difference is small, the device can be considered to be dispensing the clothing treatment agent normally.

[0094] Figure 4 A flowchart of a fault determination method for a garment processing device provided in this application embodiment. Figure 3 .like Figure 4 As shown, based on the aforementioned embodiments, the dispensing device dispenses multiple clothing treatment agents this time, and the method includes:

[0095] S401. During the execution of clothing processing instructions by the clothing processing equipment, the cumulative amount and duration of application of at least one clothing processing agent by the dispensing device are obtained in real time.

[0096] S402. For each type of garment treatment agent, determine the real-time application rate based on the cumulative application amount and cumulative application duration.

[0097] S403. If the real-time delivery rate does not reach the preset delivery rate, obtain the actual amount of clothing treatment agent delivered in this delivery process.

[0098] S404. When the actual amount of the first target treatment agent is lower than the theoretical amount, the dispensing device is determined to be in a fault state, and the first fault information is output. The first fault information is used to indicate that there is an abnormality in the dispensing of the first target treatment agent by the dispensing device.

[0099] S405. For each type of garment treatment agent, when the actual dosage is not lower than the theoretical dosage, obtain the difference between the actual dosage and the theoretical dosage for this dosage.

[0100] S406. When the difference in the current application of a certain clothing treatment agent exceeds a preset difference, obtain the historical application data of the clothing treatment agent. The historical application data includes M historical application differences of the clothing treatment agent. The M historical application differences and the current application difference are continuous in time, where M is a positive integer.

[0101] S407. Based on the difference between historical delivery data and the current delivery, determine the fault information of the delivery device.

[0102] S408. When the difference between the current application values ​​of at least two of the multiple clothing treatment agents exceeds a preset difference, the application ratio of the multiple clothing treatment agents is obtained. The application ratio is the ratio of the actual application amounts of each pair of clothing treatment agents.

[0103] In this step, if the difference in dosage of more than one garment treatment agent exceeds a preset value during the application of multiple garment treatment agents, it indicates that the application device has applied an excessive amount of more than one garment treatment agent. If the solution described in the previous embodiment is adopted to obtain historical application data for each type of garment treatment agent that has been applied in excess, it will greatly increase the burden on the equipment's data processing and analysis. In this embodiment, the ratio of the amount of garment treatment agents applied is used to determine whether the application of the two garment treatment agents by the application device is abnormal at one time.

[0104] S409. Based on the clothing treatment instruction, multiple clothing treatment agents, and the current dosage ratio of the multiple clothing treatment agents, determine the fault information of the dispensing device.

[0105] In the above scheme, when the clothing treatment conditions are roughly the same, the dosage ratio of the two clothing treatment agents should remain basically unchanged. If the dosage ratio changes, it may be that one of the clothing treatment agents is being used abnormally, or it may be that both clothing treatment agents are being used abnormally. If the dosage ratio does not change, it can be considered that the dispensing device is dispensing the two clothing treatment agents normally. In this way, the ratio of the actual dosage of each pair of clothing treatment agents can be used to verify whether the dispensing device is dispensing the clothing treatment agents normally.

[0106] S410. When there is no clothing treatment agent whose current dispensing difference exceeds the preset difference, the dispensing device is determined to be in normal condition.

[0107] In this step, if the dosage difference for any garment treatment agent exceeds the preset difference, it indicates that the dosing device has not overdone the garment treatment agent and can normally dispense all garment treatment agents used in this garment treatment process.

[0108] For steps that are the same as those in the previous embodiments, please refer to the description of the previous embodiments, and they will not be repeated here. Steps S406 and S407 are basically the same as those in the previous embodiments, except that only one type of clothing treatment agent is overdosed at this time.

[0109] In this embodiment, based on the aforementioned embodiments, different situations are distinguished as follows: only one type of clothing treatment agent is overdosed, at least two types of clothing treatment agents are overdosed, and no type of clothing treatment agent is overdosed. Different subsequent processing operations are then carried out for different situations.

[0110] The following is combined with Figure 5 The following specific embodiments illustrate the process by which the method for determining the fault information of the garment processing equipment in this application determines the fault information of the dispensing device based on the garment processing instruction, multiple garment processing agents, and the current dispensing ratio of the multiple garment processing agents.

[0111] Figure 5 A flowchart of a fault determination method for a garment processing device provided in this application embodiment. Figure 4 .like Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0112] S501. Obtain clothing information from the clothing processing instruction.

[0113] As mentioned above, when the garment processing equipment faces the same garment processing conditions, the ratio of garment processing agents between each pair should remain basically unchanged. Since the important influencing factor of garment processing conditions is garment information, this embodiment uses garment information to determine the dosage ratio of garment processing agents during the garment processing process.

[0114] S502. Based on clothing information, multiple clothing treatment agents, and preset relationships, determine the standard dosage ratio of multiple clothing treatment agents, wherein the preset relationships are the correspondence between clothing information, multiple clothing treatment agents, and the dosage ratio of multiple clothing treatment agents.

[0115] In this step, by using the preset relationship between clothing information, multiple clothing treatment agents, and the dosage ratio of multiple clothing treatment agents, the standard dosage ratio of each pair of clothing treatment agents can be obtained based on the clothing information and the clothing treatment agents used in this clothing treatment.

[0116] In practice, different types of clothing require different amounts of fabric softener during the treatment process, so the standard dosage ratios for each type of fabric softener will also be different. For example, when fabric softener and detergent are used on clothing at the same time, the standard dosage ratio of fabric softener and detergent can be 1 or 1.2.

[0117] S503. Obtain the third and fourth target treatment agents corresponding to the current deployment ratio, which is not equal to the standard deployment ratio.

[0118] In the above scheme, by comparing the standard dosage ratio of each pair of clothing treatment agents with the current dosage ratio, the current dosage ratio that differs from the standard dosage ratio can be obtained. The two clothing treatment agents corresponding to the current dosage ratio are the third target treatment agent and the fourth treatment agent.

[0119] S504. If the difference in the current delivery value corresponding to the third target treatment agent and the difference in the current delivery value corresponding to the fourth target treatment agent both exceed the preset difference, then the delivery device is determined to be in a fault state, and a third fault information is output. The third fault information is used to indicate that there is an abnormality in the delivery of the third target treatment agent and the fourth target treatment agent by the delivery device.

[0120] In this step, as mentioned above, if the current dosage ratio of the two garment treatment agents differs from the standard dosage ratio, it could indicate an abnormality in the dosage of one or both agents. In this case, the dosage difference for each agent can be used to determine whether the abnormality lies with one or both agents. If the dosage difference for each agent exceeds a preset difference, it can be assumed that the dosing device is malfunctioning in dispensing both agents.

[0121] S505. If the difference in the current delivery value corresponding to the third target treatment agent or the difference in the current delivery value corresponding to the fourth target treatment agent exceeds the preset difference, the delivery device is determined to be in a fault state, and a fourth fault information is output. The fourth fault information is used to indicate that there is an abnormality in the delivery of the fifth target treatment agent by the delivery device, wherein the fifth target treatment agent is the third target treatment agent or the fourth target treatment agent.

[0122] In the above scheme, if only one of the two clothing treatment agents has a current dosage difference exceeding the preset difference, then it can be considered that the dosing device is abnormal in dispensing that clothing treatment agent.

[0123] In this embodiment of the application, the standard dosage ratio of each pair of clothing treatment agents is determined by the clothing information and the clothing treatment agent used in this clothing treatment. Based on the standard dosage ratio and the current dosage ratio, two clothing treatment agents that may have abnormal dosage are identified. Furthermore, the dosage difference of each of the two clothing treatment agents in this current dosage is combined to determine whether the dosage of one of the two clothing treatment agents is abnormal or whether both clothing treatment agents are abnormal.

[0124] In summary, the fault determination method for clothing processing equipment provided in this application involves, during the execution of clothing processing instructions by the clothing processing equipment, acquiring real-time information on the dispensing of clothing processing agent by the dispensing device, and determining the actual dispensing rate of the clothing processing agent based on the dispensing information. It then determines whether the actual dispensing rate reaches a preset dispensing rate. If not, it continues to acquire the difference between the actual dispensing amount and the theoretical dispensing amount of the clothing processing agent. If the actual dispensing amount of a certain clothing processing agent is lower than the theoretical dispensing amount, it can be determined that the dispensing device of the clothing processing equipment is malfunctioning in dispensing that type of clothing processing agent, and the dispensing device is in a fault state. In this way, the working state of the dispensing device can be comprehensively determined based on both the actual dispensing rate and the actual dispensing amount.
