[0004] However, accelerometers may become loose due to equipment aging and prolonged vibration, leading to errors in the detected feature data. Using a fixed threshold for eccentricity detection may further increase the error in the results and reduce the accuracy of eccentricity detection. Summary of the Invention

[0074] 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

[0075] 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.

[0076] During the spin-drying process, clothes are prone to tangling, affecting the drying effect and potentially damaging the garments. Modern washing machines use accelerometers to detect the off-center state of the clothes during spin-drying. By comparing characteristic data at different speeds with a set threshold, the machine adjusts its operation to avoid tangling. However, accelerometers may loosen over time, leading to inaccurate characteristic data capture. Continuing to use a fixed threshold may increase detection errors and reduce the accuracy of off-center detection.

[0077] This application provides a threshold calibration method for eccentricity detection. Upon receiving a threshold calibration instruction, an empty bucket is dehydrated, and acceleration characteristic values ​​are collected during low-speed and high-speed phases. The method determines whether calibration is required based on these acceleration characteristic values, and if so, performs a threshold calibration operation based on the acceleration characteristic values ​​and corresponding standard characteristic values. This method allows for timely calibration of the threshold used for eccentricity detection, improving the accuracy of eccentricity detection.

[0078] 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.

[0079] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a threshold calibration method for eccentricity detection provided in this application embodiment. Figure 1 .like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0080] S101. Upon receiving a threshold calibration instruction, control the garment processing equipment to perform a dehydration program while the drum is empty.

[0081] In this step, existing garment processing equipment uses an accelerometer installed inside the device to capture acceleration characteristic values ​​caused by vibration, in order to prevent excessive vibration, noise, and displacement during the spin-drying process. Since the rotation speed of the garment processing equipment differs between the low-speed and high-speed spin-drying stages, the vibration amplitude of the inner drum differs, resulting in different acceleration characteristic values. Then, by comparing the acceleration characteristic values ​​with corresponding thresholds, if the eccentricity of the garment processing equipment is determined to be large, a shaking operation is required or the user is prompted to readjust the garment position. However, when the garment processing equipment ages, or when the accelerometer sensor becomes loose due to vibration, errors occur in the acceleration characteristic values ​​captured by the equipment, reducing the accuracy of eccentricity detection. Therefore, this embodiment periodically calibrates the threshold used for eccentricity detection.

[0082] Specifically, when the garment processing equipment receives a threshold calibration instruction, it is controlled to execute the spin-drying program while the drum is empty. The threshold calibration instruction can be triggered by the user selecting the corresponding program, or it can be automatically triggered by the garment processing equipment based on historical operation data. This embodiment does not limit the operation of how the garment processing equipment automatically triggers the threshold calibration instruction. For example, it could generate a threshold calibration instruction at a fixed period.

[0083] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the accelerometer sensor is integrated into the washing machine's display panel. When the power supplies of the accelerometer chip and the main control chip are mismatched, a serial port conversion circuit needs to be added between the accelerometer chip and the main control chip. The main chip reads the data from the accelerometer sensor through the serial port conversion circuit.

[0084] S102. Collect the first acceleration characteristic value corresponding to the low-speed dehydration stage and the second acceleration characteristic value corresponding to the high-speed dehydration stage.

[0085] In this step, the dehydration process includes a low-speed dehydration stage and a high-speed dehydration stage, each with a threshold for eccentricity detection. Therefore, the correct process operations must be performed for both the low-speed and high-speed dehydration stages to determine whether threshold calibration is needed and to perform threshold calibration.

[0086] Specifically, the first acceleration characteristic value corresponding to the low-speed dehydration stage of the garment processing equipment and the second acceleration characteristic value corresponding to the high-speed dehydration stage are collected.

[0087] Furthermore, even when the drum is empty, the amplitude of vibration within the garment processing equipment still varies, causing the acceleration characteristic value collected by the accelerometer to continuously change. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the appropriate acceleration characteristic value for judgment from multiple candidate acceleration characteristic values ​​corresponding to the low-speed dehydration stage, and the same applies to the high-speed dehydration stage. The method for determining the appropriate acceleration characteristic value from multiple candidate acceleration characteristic values ​​can be selected according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0088] In one possible implementation, the acceleration characteristic value used for determining calibration requirements is determined based on the average of multiple candidate acceleration characteristic values ​​corresponding to the low-speed dehydration stage.

[0089] S103. Based on the first acceleration characteristic value and the second acceleration characteristic value, determine whether the clothing processing equipment requires calibration.

[0090] In this step, the vibration amplitude of the inner drum of the garment processing equipment during the spin-drying process is affected by the clothes being spun. Therefore, when the garment processing equipment runs the spin-drying process with an empty drum, although the vibration amplitude of the inner drum changes, the difference from the pre-established standard characteristic value is small. Therefore, by comparing the first acceleration characteristic value, the second acceleration characteristic value, and the corresponding standard characteristic value, it can be determined whether the garment processing equipment requires calibration. The specific process is as follows:

[0091] Obtain the first standard feature value corresponding to the first acceleration feature value, and the second standard feature value corresponding to the second acceleration feature value;

[0092] Calculate the first ratio between the first acceleration characteristic value and the first standard characteristic value, and the second ratio between the second acceleration characteristic value and the second standard characteristic value;

[0093] If either the first ratio or the second ratio is greater than the ratio threshold, then the garment processing equipment is determined to require calibration.

[0094] If both the first ratio and the second ratio are less than or equal to the ratio threshold, then it is determined that the garment processing equipment does not require calibration.

[0095] This embodiment does not impose any limitation on the ratio threshold, which can be selected according to the actual situation. For example, the ratio threshold can be 110%-120%.

[0096] For example, the first acceleration characteristic value is 30, the first standard characteristic value is 20, the second acceleration characteristic value is 50, the second standard characteristic value is 50, and the ratio threshold is 110%. The first ratio is calculated as: 30 / 20 × 100% = 150%, and the second ratio is calculated as: 50 / 50 × 100% = 100%. The first ratio of 150% is greater than the ratio threshold of 110%, therefore it is determined that the garment processing equipment has a calibration requirement.

[0097] S104. If calibration is required, perform threshold calibration based on the first acceleration characteristic value, the second acceleration characteristic value, and the standard characteristic value corresponding to each acceleration characteristic value.

[0098] In this step, when it is determined that the garment processing equipment has a calibration requirement, the corresponding ratio change is determined based on the first acceleration characteristic value, the second acceleration characteristic value, and the corresponding standard characteristic value, and then the threshold is corrected based on the ratio change.

[0099] Furthermore, if the garment processing equipment does not require calibration, the threshold calibration operation will not be performed.

[0100] This application provides a threshold calibration method for eccentricity detection. Upon receiving a threshold calibration instruction, an empty bucket is dehydrated, and acceleration characteristic values ​​are collected during low-speed and high-speed phases. The method determines whether calibration is required based on these acceleration characteristic values, and if so, performs a threshold calibration operation based on the acceleration characteristic values ​​and corresponding standard characteristic values. This method allows for timely calibration of the threshold used for eccentricity detection, improving the accuracy of eccentricity detection.

[0101] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a threshold calibration method for eccentricity detection provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 This embodiment provides a detailed explanation of the steps involved in performing a calibration operation based on acceleration characteristic values ​​and corresponding standard characteristic values. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0102] S201. Obtain at least one first threshold corresponding to the low-speed dehydration stage and at least one second threshold corresponding to the high-speed dehydration stage.

[0103] In this step, when it is determined that the garment processing equipment requires calibration, at least one first threshold corresponding to the low-speed dehydration stage is obtained, and at least one second threshold corresponding to the high-speed dehydration stage is obtained. The number of first and second thresholds is determined according to the actual eccentricity detection logic, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0104] S202. Determine the first difference between the first threshold and the first standard feature value, and determine the first adjustment value based on the first difference and the first ratio.

[0105] In this step, the vibration amplitude of the inner tub corresponding to the first acceleration characteristic value is the same as that corresponding to the first standard characteristic value. Therefore, the difference between the first threshold and the first standard characteristic value is adjusted according to the first ratio. Then, the calibrated threshold is determined according to the difference and the first acceleration characteristic value.

[0106] Specifically, the first difference between the first threshold and the first standard feature value is calculated, and the first adjustment value is calculated based on the first difference and the first ratio.

[0107] It should be noted that, in most cases, the first ratio corresponding to the low-speed dehydration stage and the second ratio corresponding to the high-speed dehydration stage are different, mainly because the rotational speeds of the low-speed and high-speed dehydration stages are different. Therefore, to ensure the accuracy of threshold calibration, the threshold calibration for each dehydration stage is based on the ratio of the acceleration characteristic value of that dehydration stage to the standard characteristic value.

[0108] S203. Determine the first calibration threshold based on the sum of the first adjustment value and the first acceleration characteristic value.

[0109] In this step, after determining the first adjustment value, the first calibration threshold is determined based on the sum of the first adjustment value and the first acceleration characteristic value.

[0110] For example, the first ratio is 150%, the first acceleration characteristic value is 30, the first standard characteristic value is 20, and the first threshold is 30. The first difference is calculated as: 30-20=10, the first adjustment value is: 10×150%=15, and the first calibration threshold is 15+30=45.

[0111] S204. The second threshold is calibrated based on the second standard characteristic value, the second acceleration characteristic value, and the second ratio to obtain the second calibration threshold.

[0112] In this step, the second difference between the second threshold and the second standard feature value is calculated, the second adjustment value is calculated based on the second difference and the second ratio, and then the second calibration value is determined based on the sum of the second adjustment value and the second acceleration feature value.

[0113] This application provides a threshold calibration method for eccentricity detection. It determines a first threshold corresponding to a low-speed dehydration stage and a second threshold corresponding to a high-speed dehydration stage. A first adjustment value is obtained by correcting the first difference between the first threshold and a first standard characteristic value based on a first ratio. Then, a first calibration threshold is determined based on the first adjustment value and a first acceleration characteristic value. Simultaneously, a second threshold is calibrated based on a second standard characteristic value, a second acceleration characteristic value, and a second ratio to obtain a second calibration threshold. This method improves the accuracy of threshold calibration and reduces misjudgments in eccentricity detection by garment processing equipment.

[0114] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a threshold calibration method for eccentricity detection provided in this application embodiment. Figure 3 This embodiment provides a detailed explanation of the steps involved in generating a threshold calibration indication using a garment processing device. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0115] S301. Obtain the target time point corresponding to the most recent threshold calibration operation of the clothing processing equipment.

[0116] In this step, due to equipment aging, or significant vibrations during the dehydration process of the garment processing equipment, the accelerometer sensor may become loose, affecting the accuracy of the acceleration characteristic value. Therefore, the risk of accelerometer sensor loosening is determined by considering the number of times the garment processing equipment has been run and the number of dehydration cycles; that is, it is determined whether a threshold calibration indication should be generated.

[0117] Specifically, the target time point corresponding to the most recent threshold calibration operation of the garment processing equipment is obtained. This time point is used to selectively obtain historical data from historical operation records to improve the accuracy of the risk analysis of accelerometer loosening.

[0118] S302. Based on the historical operating data of the clothing processing equipment, determine the cumulative number of times the clothing processing equipment runs within a preset time period and the cumulative number of times the target running program is shaken.

[0119] The preset time period is determined based on the target time point, and the target running program includes a dehydration step.

[0120] In this step, in addition to the dehydration program, some operating programs of the garment processing equipment also include dehydration steps, such as the washing program. Therefore, to further improve the accuracy of the analysis, this embodiment determines the number of shakes based on the target operating program that includes the dehydration step.

[0121] Furthermore, equipment aging is primarily affected by the number of times it is used; therefore, the cumulative number of operations of the garment processing equipment is used to determine whether aging has occurred. It should be noted that the aging mentioned in this embodiment is relative.

[0122] Specifically, a preset time period is obtained based on the target time point and the current time point. The cumulative number of times the clothing processing equipment runs within the preset time period is obtained based on historical operating data. The cumulative number of shakes corresponding to the target operating program is determined based on the historical data corresponding to the target operating program within the preset time period.

[0123] S303. Determine the jitter frequency based on the cumulative number of jitters and the cumulative number of runs.

[0124] In this step, during the dehydration stage, if the clothes are severely tangled, a single shaking operation may not be able to distribute them evenly. However, the number of shaking operations will not be excessive, generally a maximum of 2-3 shakes. If 2 or 3 shakes fail to distribute the clothes evenly, the user needs to manually adjust the position of the clothes. If the accelerometer sensor is loose, the number of false alarms in the clothing processing equipment's eccentricity detection increases, leading to more shaking operations and a higher ratio of cumulative shaking counts to cumulative operation counts. Therefore, this embodiment also uses the shaking frequency as a criterion for analyzing whether the accelerometer sensor is at risk of loosening.

[0125] Specifically, the shaking frequency of the garment processing equipment within a preset time period is determined based on the ratio of the cumulative shaking frequency to the cumulative running frequency.

[0126] S304. If the cumulative number of runs is greater than the first run and the jitter frequency is greater than the frequency threshold, then a threshold calibration indication is generated.

[0127] In this step, when the cumulative number of runs of the garment processing equipment is low, the shaking frequency value is high, which may be due to the dehydration of the garments. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of the analysis results obtained based on the shaking frequency, this embodiment makes a comprehensive judgment based on the cumulative number of runs.

[0128] Specifically, if the cumulative number of runs is greater than the first run and the shaking frequency is greater than the frequency threshold, it is determined that there is a risk of the accelerometer sensor becoming loose in the clothing processing equipment, and a threshold calibration indication is generated to control the clothing processing equipment to perform the steps described in the aforementioned embodiments.

[0129] It should be noted that the initial count should not be too small to avoid the analysis results being affected by dehydrated clothing. Also, to promptly identify the risk of the accelerometer becoming loose, the initial count should not be too large. For example, the initial count could be 6-12 times. The frequency threshold is determined based on the frequency with which the user runs the target program, and is directly proportional to the frequency of use. For example, the frequency threshold could be 1.2-1.5.

[0130] S305. If the cumulative number of runs is greater than the second number, or the cumulative number of jitters is greater than the third number, then determine to generate a threshold calibration indication.

[0131] The second and third numbers are both greater than the first number.

[0132] In this step, if the garment processing equipment is used many times, it indicates that the equipment is aging more severely, and there may be a risk that the accelerometer sensor will become loose; if the garment is shaken many times, the accelerometer sensor may become loose due to repeated vibrations.

[0133] Therefore, when the cumulative number of runs exceeds the second count, or the cumulative number of shakes exceeds the third count, it indicates that the accelerometer sensor of the garment processing equipment is at risk of loosening, and a threshold calibration indication is generated. The second and third counts can be customized according to the actual scenario; for example, the second count can be 20-25 runs, and the shake count can be 20-30 runs.

[0134] This application provides a threshold calibration method for eccentricity detection. Based on the historical operation records of the garment processing equipment since the last threshold calibration operation, the cumulative number of runs and the cumulative number of jitters corresponding to the target operation program are obtained, and the jitter frequency is calculated. Based on the relationship between the jitter frequency and the jitter threshold, the relationship between the cumulative number of runs and the first and second counts, and the relationship between the cumulative number of jitters and the third count, it is determined whether to generate a threshold calibration indication. This method can promptly identify the risk of accelerometer loosening while improving the accuracy of the analysis results.

Figure 4 As shown, the threshold calibration device 40 for eccentricity detection includes: an acquisition module 401, a determination module 402, and a calibration module 403, wherein:

[0136] The acquisition module 401 is used to control the clothing processing equipment to execute the dehydration program in an empty drum state when a threshold calibration instruction is received, and to acquire the first acceleration characteristic value corresponding to the low-speed dehydration stage and the second acceleration characteristic value corresponding to the high-speed dehydration stage.
