Description

Technical field:

[0001] The utility model relates to a washing machine with full-touch buttons and capable of meeting the requirement of low power consumption in standby mode, and belongs to the field of household appliances. Background technology:

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of consumer electronics, electronic products have been greatly improved in appearance and performance compared with early products. Nowadays, home appliances are developing in the direction of intelligence, frequency conversion, full touch operation and other high-end directions.

[0003] Traditional washing machines use mechanical buttons to achieve user interaction, but the disadvantages of this design are also obvious. First, the user needs to use a lot of force to press the button when operating. Second, the internal mechanical parts of the button will wear out due to long-term use, causing the button to fail, which in turn causes the washing machine to malfunction and cause personal safety risks.

[0004] At present, the touch button solutions adopted by the washing machine industry are divided into two categories: one is that the power button and the start / stop button use mechanical buttons, and the other buttons use touch buttons. The other is that all buttons use touch buttons.

[0005] Since the EU and other countries have technical requirements that the standby power consumption of household appliances should be less than 0.5W, the first category of products can normally enter the sleep mode after standby due to the existence of mechanical buttons to reduce power consumption. The user can exit the sleep mode after pressing the power button, thereby meeting the standby power consumption requirements.

[0006] However, another type of product uses full touch buttons and can enter sleep mode after standby. However, since the touch buttons cannot be recognized after entering sleep mode, sleep mode cannot be exited normally, which will cause users to be unable to use the machine.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility model content:

[0008] The utility model aims to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art and provides a washing machine with full touch buttons and capable of meeting the low power consumption requirement of standby mode. The utility model can realize the full touch button washing machine entering and exiting the sleep mode and meet the low power consumption requirement.

[0009] The technical solutions adopted by the utility model include: a washing machine with full touch buttons and capable of meeting the low power consumption requirement in standby mode, comprising a display panel and a microcontroller arranged on the display panel, a low power consumption management module and a user button input module;

[0010] A user key input module is used to transmit key signals to the touch key function unit through touch keys TK1, TK2...TKn;

[0011] A touch key function unit is used to detect whether the user presses the touch key and transmit the detected key signal to the microcontroller;

[0012] The microcontroller determines that the washing machine enters a dormant state based on the detected signal transmitted by the low power management module and the fact that the user does not touch the button for a continuous period of t.

[0013] Furthermore, the t time is 10s.

[0014] Furthermore, the microcontroller is an ARM 32-bit CortexM0 core microcontroller with an integrated touch key functional unit.

[0015] Furthermore, a timer is included for periodically detecting touch keys in the sleep mode.

[0016] Furthermore, the microcontroller includes 32 channels of touch key functions.

[0017] The utility model has the following beneficial effects: the utility model is a washing machine with full-touch buttons that can meet the low power consumption requirement in standby mode, and realizes the detection and main control logic of the full-touch buttons through a microcontroller, which can solve the technical problem of the full-touch button washing machine entering the sleep mode to reduce power consumption and exiting the sleep mode for normal use. Description of the drawings:

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the control principle of the utility model. Specific implementation method:

[0019] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] The utility model has a washing machine with full touch buttons and can meet the low power consumption requirement of standby mode, including a display panel and a microcontroller arranged on the display panel, a low power consumption management module and a user key input module. The microcontroller uses an ARM 32-bit CortexM0 core microcontroller with an integrated touch button function unit, which not only realizes the logic control of the washing machine, but also includes 32 channels of touch button functions. The user key input module transmits the key signal to the touch button function unit through the touch buttons TK1, TK2...TKn. The touch button function unit detects whether the user presses the touch button and transmits the detected key signal to the microcontroller. When the microcontroller detects the signal transmitted by the low power consumption management module and the user does not touch the button for 10 seconds, the washing machine enters a dormant state.

[0021] After the washing machine enters the dormant state, the microcontroller turns off most of the external devices (such as the water inlet valve, drain pump, drying fan, variable frequency motor, etc. that transmit signals to the microcontroller) to reduce power consumption, and uses the timer that supports running in the dormant mode to periodically detect the touch buttons. During the timer periodic detection process, if the user key input signal is detected, the microcontroller is awakened to allow the user to use the washing machine normally, otherwise the microcontroller is kept in the dormant state to reduce power consumption.

[0022] The utility model discloses a washing machine with full-touch buttons that can meet the requirement of low power consumption in standby mode. A microcontroller is used to realize the detection of the full-touch buttons and the main control logic, so as to solve the technical problem that the full-touch button washing machine enters a sleep mode to reduce power consumption and exits the sleep mode for normal use.

[0023] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
