[0049] In the description of the utility model, it should be noted that the directions or position relationships indicated by the terms "inner", "outer" and the like are based on the directions or position relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, therefore it cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0050] In the description of the utility model, it is necessary to explain that, unless there is definite stipulation and limitation, the term "installation", "connection", "connect", "contact", "communication" should be broad sense understanding, for example, can be fixed connection, also can be detachable connection, or integrally connected;Can be mechanical connection, also can be electrical connection;Can be directly connected, also can be indirectly connected through intermediate medium.

[0051] In the related technology of the washing machine, the intelligent camera recognizes the clothing material through the camera sampling technology, which is a technology integrating image recognition technology, deep learning algorithm and expert system, and the camera sampling technology relies on the deep learning algorithm and the expert system to identify the clothing material, and the accuracy of the clothing material identification is low.

[0052] Based on this, the following embodiments are proposed.

[0053] Embodiment one:

[0054] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 , 4, 6-12, the embodiment provides a lifting rib for being arranged on the inner wall of a clothing treatment drum 11, comprising:

[0055] A shell 1 is formed with a cavity 2;

[0056] A detection piece 3 is located in the cavity 2, and the detection piece 3 comprises an emitter 301 and a receiver 302;

[0057] A first drive assembly 6 and a second drive assembly 7 are located in the cavity 2, the first drive assembly 6 is used for driving the emitter 301 or the receiver 302 to rotate, and the second drive assembly 7 is used for driving the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 to lift and lower;

[0058] The shell 1 has a light-transmitting part at least at the part opposite to the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 for the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 to detect the light signal;

[0059] Wherein, the emitter 301 of the detection piece 3 can emit a first light signal to the clothing in the clothing treatment drum 11 through the light-transmitting part, and the receiver 302 of the detection piece 3 can receive a second light signal coming through the light-transmitting part.

[0060] In this embodiment, the number of the lifting ribs is one, and the first driving assembly 6 drives the emitter 301 to rotate alone. The emitter 301 is driven by the first driving assembly 6 to rotate to the same direction as the receiver 302, i.e., the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 are parallel. The emitter 301 of the detection piece 3 emits the first light signal to the clothes in the clothes treatment drum 11 through the transparent cover 5 from the opening 4. The first light signal is diffusely reflected by the clothes to form the second light signal. The receiver 302 of the detection piece 3 receives the second light signal from the opening 4 through the transparent cover 5. The first light signal emitted by the emitter 301 passes through the clothes in the clothes treatment drum 11. Part of the light signal is reflected or absorbed by the clothes, and the other part of the light signal penetrates the clothes. The reflected light signal is the second light signal, which is received by the receiver 302. Different materials of the clothes have different reflection abilities for the first light signal emitted by the emitter 301. The difference in the reflection ability of the light signal for different materials of the clothes can be used to determine the material of the clothes in the clothes treatment drum 11. According to the determined material, a washing mode matched with the material can be selected, so that the different materials of the clothes can be protected in the washing process.

[0061] Further, in the process of identifying the material of the clothes, the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 in the detection piece 3 can have different distances from the top wall of the shell 1 by the work of the second driving assembly 7, as shown in FIG. 6. The vertical distances of the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 from the top wall of the shell 1 can be A, B and C, respectively. The clothes in the same state on the top wall of the lifting rib are identified by the above-mentioned diffused reflection means at the three distances. Since the second light signal received by the receiver 302 is different at different distances, some interference can be excluded by comparison, so that the material identification result is more accurate. Figures 8-10

[0062] It should be noted that in an embodiment of the present application, the light signal can produce diffuse reflection after contacting the clothes, and then the diffuse reflection parameter value can be obtained.

[0063] Specifically, the diffuse reflection parameter value can be the parameter value of the reflected light signal itself after diffuse reflection, such as the wavelength and / or light intensity of the reflected light signal. Alternatively, the diffuse reflection parameter value can be obtained by calculating the parameter value of the reflected light signal itself, such as substituting the wavelength and / or light intensity of the reflected light signal into a preset calculation formula. In general, as long as different materials of the clothes can correspond to different diffuse reflection parameter values.

[0064] ​In an embodiment, the preset calculation formula for calculating the diffuse reflection parameter value can be a formula containing the wavelength and light intensity of the reflected light signal, for example, diffuse reflection parameter value a = (wavelength λ - absorbed wavelength ΔE) / wavelength λ * φ light flux * power factor (light intensity correlation).

[0065] In an embodiment, in order to determine the material of the clothes, a diffuse reflection standard value interval is preset, and different diffuse reflection standard value intervals correspond to different clothes materials, that is, the diffuse reflection standard value interval has a corresponding relationship with the clothes material.

[0066] Specifically, the diffuse reflection standard value interval is a numerical interval composed of diffuse reflection standard values. It should be noted that the diffuse reflection standard value and the diffuse reflection parameter value are values of the same type or obtained by using the same algorithm, and the difference lies in that the diffuse reflection standard value is a parameter value obtained by performing a diffuse reflection experiment on the clothes in the case where the clothes material is known, while the diffuse reflection parameter value is a parameter value obtained by performing a diffuse reflection experiment on the clothes when actually identifying the clothes material. In order to facilitate understanding, for example, in the test, the wavelength and light intensity of the reflected light signal after diffuse reflection are calculated by using formula A to obtain the diffuse reflection standard value, and after multiple tests on clothes of material a, a numerical interval P1 can be divided according to all the obtained diffuse reflection standard values. In actual identification of the clothes material, the wavelength and light intensity of the reflected light signal after diffuse reflection are also calculated by using formula A, that is, the diffuse reflection parameter value is obtained. Since the calculation process of the diffuse reflection parameter value is the same as that of the diffuse reflection standard value, the clothes material can be determined according to the diffuse reflection parameter value.

[0067] The corresponding relationship between the diffuse reflection standard value interval and the clothes material is that each type of clothes material corresponds to a diffuse reflection standard value interval, and the diffuse reflection standard value intervals corresponding to different types of clothes materials are different. For example, material a corresponds to diffuse reflection standard value interval P1, which is the corresponding relationship. When the diffuse reflection parameter value is located in P1, it can be determined that the clothes material of the clothes is a. Preferably, the corresponding relationship obtained by using the ultraviolet sensor to test and using the formula includes: 100-130 test the material of cotton, 135-155 test the material of hemp, 190-230 correspond to the material of wool, 165-189 correspond to the material of silk, 290-330 correspond to the material of polyester fiber, and 335-390 correspond to the material of chemical fiber.

[0068] Optionally, in one implementation manner of the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1

[0069] ​The light-transmitting part comprises an opening 4 formed in the top wall 1011 and the side wall 1012 of the shell 1 and a transparent cover 5 arranged at the opening 4, and the top wall 1011 is opposite to the inner wall of the clothes treatment cylinder 11 in the case that the lifting ribs are arranged on the inner wall of the clothes treatment cylinder 11, and the side wall 1012 extends from the top wall 101 to the inner wall of the clothes treatment cylinder 11.

[0070] In the embodiment, the opening 4 is closed by the transparent cover 5, and the transparent cover 5 can play a waterproof role on the detection piece 3 and will not hinder the emission and reception of the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 in the detection piece 3.

[0071] Optionally, in an implementation manner of the embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-6

[0072] The lifting rib comprises a controller, and the controller is designed to:

[0073] control the first driving assembly 6 and the second driving assembly 7 to work,

[0074] Under the driving of the first driving assembly 6, the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 of the detection piece 3 can rotate to change the angle of the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 for emitting and receiving the light signal;

[0075] Under the driving of the second driving assembly 7, the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 of the detection piece 3 can be switched at different height positions away from the light-transmitting part.

[0076] In the embodiment, the controller controls the emitter 301 of the detection piece 3 to emit a first light signal to the clothes in the clothes treatment cylinder 11 through the light-transmitting part, and controls the receiver 302 of another detection piece 3 to receive a second light signal from the clothes through the light-transmitting part.

[0077] The controller controls the second driving assembly 7 to drive the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 of the detection piece 3 to ascend and descend, controls the emitter 301 of the detection piece 3 to emit a first light signal to the clothes in the clothes treatment cylinder 11 through the light-transmitting part at different positions of the light-transmitting part, and controls the receiver 302 of another detection piece 3 to receive a second light signal from the clothes through the light-transmitting part at different positions of the light-transmitting part.

[0078] Hereinafter, taking the case that the lifting rib is provided with two as an example, two of the two lifting ribs constitute a lifting rib group, and the lifting rib group comprises a first lifting rib and a second lifting rib.

[0079] The controller is designed to:

[0080] ​The first driving component 6 drives the emitter 301 of the first lifting rib to rotate, and the first driving component 6 drives the receiver 302 of the second lifting rib to rotate so that it is opposite to the emitter 301 of the first lifting rib. The emitter 301 of the first lifting rib emits a first light signal through the opening 4 and the transparent cover 5 into the clothes in the clothes processing tube 11. The first light signal is transmitted through the clothes to form a second light signal. The receiver 302 of the second lifting rib receives the second light signal that passes through the transparent cover 5 from the opening 4.

[0081] like Figure 6 As shown, the controller controls the first driving assembly 6 to drive the emitter 301 of the first lifting rib to rotate, and controls the first driving assembly 6 to drive the receiver 302 of the second lifting rib to rotate so that it is opposite to the emitter 301 of the first lifting rib. The emitter 301 of the first lifting rib emits a first light signal through the opening 4 and the transparent cover 5 into the clothes in the clothes processing drum 11. The first light signal is transmitted through the clothes to form a second light signal. The receiver 302 of the second lifting rib receives the second light signal that passes through the transparent cover 5 through the opening 4. The first light signal emitted by the emitter 301 will pass through the clothes in the clothes processing drum 11. In the washing process, some of the light signals are blocked, reflected, or absorbed by the clothing, while the other part penetrates the clothing. The light signal that penetrates the clothing is the second light signal, which is received by the receiving electrode 302 of the second lifting rib. Different materials of clothing have different transmission capabilities to the first light signal emitted by the emitting electrode 301. By utilizing this difference in the transmission capability of light signals to different materials of clothing, the material of the clothing in the clothing processing drum 11 can be determined. Based on the determined material, a washing mode that matches the material can be selected, thereby achieving targeted protection for different materials of clothing during the washing process.

[0082] By designing the first driving component 6 and the second driving component 7 to drive the detection component 3 to rotate and lift, the detection component 3 can identify the clothing material through diffuse reflection and transmission, thus realizing the combination of multiple clothing material identification methods and making the identification results more accurate.

[0083] The detection component 3 can be powered by the washing machine power supply module, which provides real-time power to the detection component 3, thus creating a state of wireless power supply to the detection component 3.

[0084] It should be noted that light signals can be transmitted when they come into contact with clothing. When light signals are transmitted after contact with clothing, transmission parameter values ​​can be obtained.

[0085] Specifically, the transmission parameter value can be a parameter value of the transmitted light signal itself after transmission, such as transmittance, light intensity, etc., or a parameter value obtained by calculating the parameter value of the transmitted light signal itself, such as a transmittance and / or light intensity of the transmitted light signal substituted into a preset calculation formula to obtain the transmission parameter value. In general, as long as different clothing materials can correspond to different transmission parameter values.

[0086] In an embodiment, the preset calculation formula for calculating the transmission parameter value can be a formula containing the wavelength and light intensity of the transmitted light signal, for example, the transmission parameter value b = T% * φ light flux * power factor (light intensity related), and the transmittance T% = I (light intensity after transmission attenuation) / I0 (original light intensity) * 100%.

[0087] In an embodiment, in order to determine the material of the clothing, a transmission standard value interval is preset, different transmission standard value intervals correspond to different clothing materials, that is, the transmission standard value interval and the clothing material have a corresponding relationship.

[0088] Specifically, the transmission standard value interval is a numerical interval composed of transmission standard values. It should be noted that the transmission standard value and the transmission parameter value are values of the same type or obtained by the same algorithm, and the difference is that the transmission standard value is a parameter value obtained by performing a transmission experiment on the clothing when the clothing material is known, while the transmission parameter value is a parameter value obtained by performing a transmission experiment on the clothing when the clothing material is actually identified. In order to facilitate understanding, for example, in the test, the transmittance and light intensity of the transmitted light signal are calculated by using formula B to obtain the transmission standard value, and after multiple tests on the clothing of material b, a numerical interval Q1 can be divided according to all the transmission standard values obtained. In actual identification of the clothing material, the transmittance and light intensity of the transmitted light signal are also calculated by using formula B, that is, the transmission parameter value is obtained. Since the calculation process of the transmission parameter value is the same as that of the transmission standard value, the clothing material of the clothing can be determined according to the transmission parameter value.

[0089] The corresponding relationship between the transmission standard value interval and the clothing material is that each type of clothing material corresponds to a transmission standard value interval, and different types of clothing material correspond to different transmission standard value intervals. For example, material a corresponds to transmission standard value interval Q1, which is the corresponding relationship. When the transmission parameter value is located in Q1, it can be determined that the clothing material of the clothing is a. Preferably, the corresponding relationship obtained by using the ultraviolet sensor for testing includes: 10-13 test material is cotton, 13.5-15.5 test material is hemp, 19-23 corresponds to wool, 16.5-18.9 corresponds to silk, 29-33 corresponds to polyester fiber, and 33.5-39 corresponds to chemical fiber.

[0092] The controller controls the first driving assembly 6 to drive the emitting pole 301 of the detection piece 3 to rotate to be parallel or in the same plane with the receiving pole 302, control the emitting pole 301 of the detection piece 3 to emit a first light signal to the clothes in the clothes treatment cylinder 11 through the light-transmitting part, and control the receiving pole 302 of the detection piece 3 to receive a second light signal from the light-transmitting part.

[0093] In the embodiment, the receiving pole 302 is parallel or in the same plane with the emitting pole 301, specifically, the plane where the emitting pole 301 and the receiving pole 302 are located is parallel or the plane where the emitting pole 301 and the receiving pole 302 are located is in the same plane, the working states of the first driving assembly 6 and the second driving assembly 7 are controlled by the controller, the controller indicates according to the received signal, when it is needed to identify the material of the clothes through diffuse reflection, the controller controls the first driving assembly to drive the emitting pole 301 to rotate so that the emitting pole 301 is parallel with the horizontal plane and the receiving pole 302 is parallel with the horizontal plane, the emitting pole 301 of the detection piece 3 emits a first light signal to the clothes in the clothes treatment cylinder 11 from the opening 4 through the transparent cover 5, the first light signal is diffuse reflected by the clothes to form a second light signal, the receiving pole 302 of the detection piece 3 receives the second light signal from the opening 4 through the transparent cover 5, and the material of the clothes is determined according to the preset interval corresponding to the second light signal and the material of the clothes, in the process of identifying the material of the clothes, the second driving assembly 7 is controlled to work to drive the emitting pole 301 and the receiving pole 302 in the detection piece 3 to have different distances from the top wall of the shell 1, as shown in Figures 8-10 , the vertical distances of the emitting pole 301 and the receiving pole 302 from the top wall of the shell 1 can be A, B and C respectively, and the clothes covering the same state on the top wall of the lifting rib are identified by the material through the above diffuse reflection means at the three distances, since the second light signal wave band received by the receiving pole 302 is different when the detection is performed at different distances, some interference can be excluded by comparison, so that the material identification result is more accurate.

[0112] Preferably, the detection element 3 is an ultraviolet sensor, with emitter 301 as the emitter of the ultraviolet sensor and receiver 302 as the receiver of the ultraviolet sensor. The light signal is an ultraviolet light signal. The emitter 301 emits ultraviolet light with a wavelength range of 100-400nm. The ultraviolet light in the 100-400nm range has different penetration capabilities for different clothing materials and is reflected differently by different clothing materials. The receiver 302 converts the received ultraviolet light into an electrical signal. After the electrical signal is processed by the MCU chip in the processor, it is converted into a digital signal. The processor then generates comparable ultraviolet data and compares it with the preset value ranges of various materials. For example, materials such as cotton, wool, silk, polyester fiber, and linen all have non-overlapping preset value ranges. By determining the preset value range in which the digital signal is located, the corresponding clothing material can be obtained.

[0113] When the detection component 3 is a near-infrared light sensor, it can also identify stains on clothing. For example, if the emitter 301 is the emitter of the near-infrared light sensor and the receiver 302 is the receiver of the near-infrared light sensor, and the light signal received by the receiver 302 has a spectral value range of 780-1000nm, then oily stains are the main stain components on clothing with a spectral value range of 1000-1400nm, sweat stains are the main stain components on clothing with a spectral value range of 1400-1800nm, food stains are the main stain components on clothing with a spectral value range of 1800-2200nm, blood stains are the main stain components on clothing with a spectral value range of 2200-2526nm, and other and mixed stains are the main stain components on clothing.

[0118] When the number of the lifting ribs arranged in the clothes treatment cylinder 11 is 2, as shown in Figure 6 , the first driving assembly drives the emitter 301 to rotate or the receiver 302 to rotate, so that the emitter 301 or the receiver 302 in any detection piece 3 is opposite to the receiver 302 or the emitter 301 of the adjacent detection piece 3, and the material of the clothes in the clothes treatment cylinder 11 is identified in a transmission manner.
