[0043] Exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the specific embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present application and to fully convey the scope of the disclosure of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0044] The following description provides numerous specific details to offer a more thorough understanding of this application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, to avoid confusion with this application, some technical features well-known in the art have not been described; that is, not all features of actual embodiments are described herein, nor are well-known functions and structures described in detail.

[0045] To fully understand this application, detailed steps and structures will be presented in the following description to illustrate the technical solution of this application. Preferred embodiments of this application are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this application may have other implementation methods.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] This application provides a method for controlling the handling of clothing. The method can be implemented by a computer, which can be a computing device equipped with a processor. The processor can be a general-purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc.

[0048] The method is applied to garment processing equipment, see reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The garment processing device includes: a housing 11, a telescopic knob 12, and a drive assembly; wherein, the telescopic knob 12 is inserted into the housing 11 along a first direction and can move along the first direction to extend or retract by protruding from or not protruding from the outer wall surface of the housing 11; the first direction is a direction perpendicular to the outer wall surface; the drive assembly is used to drive the movement of the telescopic knob 12.

[0049] Specifically, the garment processing equipment can be a front-loading washing machine. The following description primarily uses a front-loading washing machine as an example, but it is understood that other garment processing equipment can also be used, such as a top-loading washing machine, a dryer, or a washer-dryer combo.

[0050] Understandably, the telescopic knob 12 is disposed on the housing 11 and can move along a first direction by being driven by the drive assembly, so as to extend and retract by protruding from the outer wall of the housing 11 at different heights. Specifically, the drive assembly may include a motor, i.e., power is obtained by a motor; it is understood that power may also be obtained by other power devices.

[0051] Specifically, the length direction of the telescopic knob 12 is the first direction, that is, the height of the telescopic knob 12 in the first direction is the length of the telescopic knob 12.

[0052] More specifically, the telescopic knob 12 is cylindrical in shape, and the height of the telescopic knob 12 in the first direction is the axial length of the cylinder.

[0053] Understandably, in addition to the telescopic knob 12, the housing 11 can also be equipped with other operating components, such as operating buttons.

[0054] Specifically, the housing 11 may include a body and an operation panel, one end of which is embedded in the body and the other end is exposed. The telescopic knob 12 is inserted into the operation panel along a first direction, and the telescopic knob 12 may or may not protrude from the outer wall surface of the operation panel; the first direction is perpendicular to the outer wall surface of the operation panel.

[0055] In some other embodiments of this application, the housing 11 may include a body and a front sealing door, the front sealing door covering the front end face of the body. The telescopic knob 12 is inserted into the front sealing door along a first direction, and the telescopic knob 12 may or may not protrude from the outer wall surface of the front sealing door; the first direction is perpendicular to the outer wall surface of the front sealing door.

[0056] refer to Figure 3 The garment handling control method includes:

[0057] Step 301: When the telescopic knob 12 protrudes beyond the outer wall surface at a first height, control the drive assembly to stop driving the movement of the telescopic knob 12; the first height is less than the height of the telescopic knob 12 in the first direction.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first height can be the maximum protrusion height of the telescopic knob 12. However, in order to make the telescopic knob 12 extend and retract more smoothly, this embodiment sets the first height to be less than the height of the telescopic knob 12 in the first direction, that is, the telescopic knob 12 is always partially not extended.

[0059] Specifically, the housing 11 may have a through hole for accommodating the telescopic knob 12. The extension and retraction of the telescopic knob 12 is the movement of the telescopic knob 12 along the axis of the through hole. During extension and retraction, a portion of the telescopic knob 12 always remains within the through hole, making the positional relationship between the telescopic knob 12 and the through hole more stable, the extension and retraction process smoother, and preventing situations such as the two disengaging and getting stuck during retraction.

[0060] Specifically, before step 301, refer to Figure 4 The method may further include:

[0061] Step 300: In response to the power-on operation of the garment processing equipment, control the drive assembly to stop driving the movement of the telescopic knob 12 so that the telescopic knob 12 protrudes from the outer wall surface.

[0062] As can be seen, the clothing processing control method, device, equipment, storage medium and clothing processing equipment of this application embodiment are provided with a telescopic knob 12, which can be extended and retracted by protruding from the outer wall of the housing 11 at different heights. When performing the washing operation, the telescopic knob 12 can be retracted. The telescopic knob 12 is not easily affected by side collisions, avoiding user misoperation and not affecting the operation of the clothing processing equipment. When user operation is required, it can be extended to facilitate user operation and meet more user needs.

[0063] In other embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 The method further includes:

[0064] Step 302: In response to the first working state of the garment processing equipment, control the drive component to drive the movement of the telescopic knob 12 so that the telescopic knob 12 protrudes from the outer wall surface at a second height or does not protrude from the outer wall surface, the second height being lower than the first height; the first working state is when the garment processing equipment performs garment processing.

[0065] Thus, in the first working state, i.e., when the garment processing equipment is processing garments, the second protrusion of the telescopic knob 12 is lower than the first protrusion. Specifically, the second protrusion can be much lower than the first protrusion, meaning the protrusion is minimal, almost non-protruding. This improves the appearance and reduces the risk of side impacts and dirt accumulation on the telescopic knob 12. Furthermore, the telescopic knob 12 cannot be rotated, preventing accidental operation by the user. Upon initial startup or after pausing, the telescopic knob 12 protrudes for convenient rotation by the user.

[0066] Understandably, "far below" can be a proportional relationship, such as the second height being one-third to one-tenth of the first height.

[0067] In other embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 The method further includes:

[0068] Step 303: In response to the second working state of the garment processing equipment; control the drive component to drive the movement of the telescopic knob 12 so that the telescopic knob 12 protrudes from the outer wall surface at a third height, the third height being between the first height and the second height; the second working state is that the garment processing equipment is paused in garment processing.

[0069] Understandably, when the clothing handling equipment is paused, such as when adding clothes midway, the user needs to perform corresponding operations, thus requiring the telescopic knob 12 to protrude outwards. However, since the operations required for pausing are not frequent, sometimes it may not be necessary to operate the telescopic knob 12, so it is sufficient for the telescopic knob 12 to protrude beyond the third height of the outer wall surface.

[0070] Specifically, the third height can be half the height of the first height. This allows for operation of the telescopic knob 12 while reducing the risk of lateral impacts and minimizing user error.

[0071] Furthermore, the garment processing equipment may also include a power-off or sleep state. In the power-off or sleep state, the telescopic knob 12 can protrude from the outer wall surface at a second height. This improves the appearance and reduces the risk of side impacts and dirt accumulation on the telescopic knob 12. Additionally, the telescopic knob 12 cannot be rotated, preventing accidental operation by the user.

[0072] In other embodiments of this application, the step of controlling the drive assembly to move the telescopic knob 12 in response to the working state of the garment processing device being a first working state, so that the telescopic knob 12 protrudes beyond the outer wall surface at a second height or does not protrude beyond the outer wall surface, includes:

[0073] The drive assembly is controlled to drive the telescopic knob 12 to move inward, and to make the outer end face of the telescopic knob 12 flush with the outer wall surface.

[0074] Understandably, in this embodiment, it is ideal for the outer end face of the telescopic knob 12 to be flush with the outer wall surface. This is more aesthetically pleasing and also prevents external dirt from entering the housing 11. However, due to errors in mass production, in practice, the telescopic knob 12 may have a portion of its outer end face flush with the outer wall surface, while a portion protrudes from it. This protrusion can be very small, such as 0.1 mm.

[0075] In some other embodiments of this application, the garment processing device further includes a mode selection switch for selecting the operating mode of the garment processing device;

[0076] When the telescopic knob 12 protrudes beyond the outer wall surface at a first height, controlling the drive assembly to stop driving the movement of the telescopic knob 12 includes:

[0077] In response to the mode selection switch being in the first operating mode, when the telescopic knob 12 protrudes beyond the outer wall surface at a fourth height, the drive assembly is controlled to stop driving the movement of the telescopic knob 12; the fourth height is between the first height and the second height.

[0078] In some operating modes, the operation of the telescopic knob 12 is less frequent. Therefore, it is sufficient to make the telescopic knob 12 protrude from the outer wall surface at a fourth height.

[0079] Furthermore, by observing the height of the telescopic knob 12 protruding from the outer wall surface, one can determine the working mode of the garment processing equipment.

[0080] Specifically, the fourth height can be half the height of the first height, meaning the fourth height is the same as the third height. This allows for operation of the telescopic knob 12 while reducing the risk of lateral impacts and minimizing user error.

[0081] Specifically, the first working mode can be a nighttime silent mode. In this mode, the garment processing equipment can be made to operate as gently as possible, reducing noise, and the operation of buttons and other sounds generated during operation is also minimized.

[0082] In other embodiments of this application, the method further includes:

[0083] Given the operating status of the garment processing equipment, obtain the current time;

[0084] If the current time is a preset nighttime time, control the mode selection switch to enter the first working mode.

[0085] This means that the garment processing equipment can automatically select the on / off mode based on the current time, making operation more user-friendly. For example, after 9:00 PM, the garment processing equipment automatically enters a nighttime silent mode.

[0086] In other embodiments of this application, the garment handling device further includes a sensing component for sensing operational actions applied to a preset sensing area; the method includes:

[0087] Based on the acquired effect, the user performs operational actions within a preset sensing area;

[0088] Control the garment processing equipment to enter the corresponding working state or working mode.

[0089] Specifically, the acquired operational actions acting on the preset sensing area include:

[0090] A click of a preset force performed within the preset sensing area;

[0091] A click performed at at least one preset location within the preset sensing area.

[0092] The preset force can be the force required to make the button move up and down, for example, if the first sensing component is a membrane switch; or it can be the force required to make the button trigger a pressure sensor, for example, if the first sensing component is a pressure sensor.

[0093] At least one preset location is required; this can be a click at one preset location or a click at multiple preset locations. If there is only one preset location, it can overlap with the preset sensing area. If there are multiple preset locations, the spacing between them should be as large as possible.

[0094] In other embodiments of this application, the click performed at at least one preset location within the preset sensing area includes:

[0095] Clicks performed simultaneously at two preset locations within the preset sensing area;

[0096] Alternatively, clicks can be made at two preset locations within the preset sensing area at different times.

[0097] Using two preset locations allows for more accurate acquisition of preset click actions, reducing the likelihood of accidental clicks. The two preset locations can be synchronous or asynchronous. Synchronous means clicking at both preset locations simultaneously, such as pressing the power button and start button at the same time; asynchronous means clicking at different preset locations at different times, such as pressing the start button first and then the pause button.

[0098] Example 2

[0099] This application provides a garment processing control device 50, applied to a garment processing equipment. The garment processing equipment includes: a housing 11, a telescopic knob 12, and a drive assembly. The telescopic knob 12 is inserted into the housing 11 along a first direction and is movable along that first direction, extending or retracting by protruding from or not protruding from the outer wall surface of the housing 11. The first direction is perpendicular to the outer wall surface. The drive assembly is used to drive the movement of the telescopic knob 12. (Reference) Figure 5 The device includes:

[0100] The first control module 51 is used to control the drive assembly to stop driving the movement of the telescopic knob 12 when the telescopic knob 12 protrudes from the outer wall surface at a first height; the first height is less than the height of the telescopic knob 12 in a first direction.

[0101] In this embodiment, the first height can be the maximum protrusion height of the telescopic knob 12. However, in order to make the telescopic knob 12 extend and retract more smoothly, this embodiment sets the first height to be less than the height of the telescopic knob 12 in the first direction, that is, the telescopic knob 12 is always partially not extended.

[0102] Specifically, the housing 11 has a through hole for accommodating the telescopic knob 12. The extension and retraction of the telescopic knob 12 is the movement of the telescopic knob 12 along the axis of the through hole. During extension and retraction, a portion of the telescopic knob 12 always remains within the through hole, making the positional relationship between the telescopic knob 12 and the through hole more stable, the extension and retraction process smoother, and preventing situations such as jamming due to excessive positional changes.

[0103] Specifically, the device may further include a second control module, the second control module being used for:

[0104] In response to the power-on operation of the garment processing equipment, the drive assembly is controlled to stop driving the movement of the telescopic knob 12, so that the telescopic knob 12 protrudes from the outer wall surface.

[0105] In other embodiments of this application, the apparatus further includes a third control module, the third control module being used for:

[0106] In response to the first working state of the garment processing equipment, the drive assembly is controlled to drive the movement of the telescopic knob 12 so that the telescopic knob 12 protrudes from the outer wall surface at a second height or does not protrude from the outer wall surface, the second height being lower than the first height; the first working state is when the garment processing equipment performs garment processing.

[0107] Thus, in the first working state, i.e., when the garment processing equipment is processing garments, the second protrusion of the telescopic knob 12 is lower than the first protrusion. Specifically, the second protrusion can be much lower than the first protrusion, meaning the protrusion is minimal, almost non-protruding. This improves the appearance and reduces the risk of side impacts and dirt accumulation on the telescopic knob 12. Furthermore, the telescopic knob 12 cannot be rotated, preventing accidental operation by the user. Upon initial startup or after pausing, the telescopic knob 12 protrudes for convenient rotation by the user.

[0108] Understandably, "far below" can be a proportional relationship, such as the second height being one-third to one-tenth of the first height.

[0109] In other embodiments of this application, the apparatus further includes a fourth control module, the fourth control module being used for:

[0110] In response to the second working state of the garment processing equipment, the drive assembly is controlled to drive the movement of the telescopic knob 12 so that the telescopic knob 12 protrudes from the outer wall surface at a third height, the third height being between the first height and the second height; the second working state is when the garment processing equipment is paused from processing garments.

[0111] Understandably, when the clothing handling equipment is paused, such as when adding clothes midway, the user needs to perform corresponding operations, thus requiring the telescopic knob 12 to protrude outwards. However, since the operations required for pausing are not frequent, sometimes it may not be necessary to operate the telescopic knob 12, so it is sufficient for the telescopic knob 12 to protrude beyond the third height of the outer wall surface.

[0112] Specifically, the third height can be half the height of the first height. This allows for operation of the telescopic knob 12 while reducing the risk of lateral impacts and minimizing user error.

[0113] Furthermore, the garment processing equipment may also include a power-off or sleep state. In the power-off or sleep state, the telescopic knob 12 can protrude from the outer wall surface at a second height. This improves the appearance and reduces the risk of side impacts and dirt accumulation on the telescopic knob 12. Additionally, the telescopic knob 12 cannot be rotated, preventing accidental operation by the user.

[0114] In other embodiments of this application, the third control module is further configured to:

[0115] The drive assembly is controlled to drive the telescopic knob 12 to move inward, and to make the outer end face of the telescopic knob 12 flush with the outer wall surface.

[0116] Understandably, in this embodiment, it is ideal for the outer end face of the telescopic knob 12 to be flush with the outer wall surface. This is more aesthetically pleasing and also prevents external dirt from entering the housing 11. However, due to errors in mass production, in practice, the telescopic knob 12 may have a portion of its outer end face flush with the outer wall surface, while a portion protrudes from it. This protrusion can be very small, such as 0.1 mm.

[0117] In some other embodiments of this application, the garment processing device further includes a mode selection switch for selecting the operating mode of the garment processing device;

[0118] The first control module 51 is also used for:

[0119] In response to the mode selection switch being in the first operating mode, when the telescopic knob 12 protrudes beyond the outer wall surface at a fourth height, the drive assembly is controlled to stop driving the movement of the telescopic knob 12; the fourth height is between the first height and the second height.

[0120] In some operating modes, the operation of the telescopic knob 12 is less frequent. Therefore, it is sufficient to make the telescopic knob 12 protrude from the outer wall surface at a fourth height.

[0121] Furthermore, by observing the height of the telescopic knob 12 protruding from the outer wall surface, one can determine the working mode of the garment processing equipment.

[0122] Specifically, the fourth height can be half the height of the first height, meaning the fourth height is the same as the third height. This allows for operation of the telescopic knob 12 while reducing the risk of lateral impacts and minimizing user error.

[0123] Specifically, the first working mode can be a nighttime silent mode. In this mode, the garment processing equipment can be made to operate as gently as possible, reducing noise, and the operation of buttons and other sounds generated during operation is also minimized.

[0124] In other embodiments of this application, the device further includes a fifth control mode, the fifth control mode being used for:

[0125] Given the operating status of the garment processing equipment, obtain the current time;

[0126] If the current time is a preset nighttime time, control the mode selection switch to enter the first working mode.

[0127] This means that the garment processing equipment can automatically select the on / off mode based on the current time, making operation more user-friendly. For example, after 9:00 PM, the garment processing equipment automatically enters a nighttime silent mode.

[0128] In other embodiments of this application, the garment handling device further includes a sensing component for sensing operational actions acting on a preset sensing area; the device also includes a sixth control mode, the sixth control mode being used for:

[0129] Based on the acquired effect, the user performs operational actions within a preset sensing area;

[0130] Control the garment processing equipment to enter the corresponding working state or working mode.

[0131] Specifically, the sixth control mode is also used for:

[0132] A click of a preset force performed within the preset sensing area;

[0133] A click performed at at least one preset location within the preset sensing area.

[0134] The preset force can be the force required to make the button move up and down, for example, if the first sensing component is a membrane switch; or it can be the force required to make the button trigger a pressure sensor, for example, if the first sensing component is a pressure sensor.

[0135] At least one preset location is required; this can be a click at one preset location or a click at multiple preset locations. If there is only one preset location, it can overlap with the preset sensing area. If there are multiple preset locations, the spacing between them should be as large as possible.

[0136] In other embodiments of this application, the sixth control mode is further used for:

[0137] Clicks performed simultaneously at two preset locations within the preset sensing area;

[0138] Alternatively, clicks can be made at two preset locations within the preset sensing area at different times.

[0139] Using two preset locations allows for more accurate acquisition of preset click actions, reducing the likelihood of accidental clicks. The two preset locations can be synchronous or asynchronous. Synchronous means clicking at both preset locations simultaneously, such as pressing the power button and start button at the same time; asynchronous means clicking at different preset locations at different times, such as pressing the start button first and then the pause button.

[0140] The modules included in this embodiment can be implemented using a processor in a computer; alternatively, they can be implemented using logic circuits in a computer. The processor can be a general-purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. The general-purpose processor can be a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor (MPU), or any other conventional processor.
