[0050] In washing machine-related technologies, camera sampling technology is generally used. Smart camera identification of clothing material is a technology that integrates image recognition technology, deep learning algorithms and expert systems. However, camera sampling technology relies on deep learning algorithms and expert systems to determine clothing material, resulting in low accuracy in identifying clothing material.

[0051] Based on this, the following embodiments are proposed.

[0052] Example 1:

[0053] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 4, 6, 7, and 9-12, this embodiment provides a lifting rib, which is disposed on the inner wall of the cylinder 11 of the garment processing cylinder, and includes:

[0054] Shell 1, shell 1 having a cavity 2;

[0055] Detection element 3 is located inside cavity 2 and includes emitter 301 and receiver 302;

[0056] The first driving component 6 and the second driving component 7 are both located in the cavity 2. The first driving component 6 is used to drive the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 to rotate and can rotate so that the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 are opposite to each other. The second driving component 7 is used to drive the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 to rise and fall.

[0057] The housing 1 has a light-transmitting portion at least in the part opposite to the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 for the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 to perform optical signal detection;

[0058] The emitter 301 of the detection element 3 can emit a first light signal through the light-transmitting part to the clothes inside the tube 11, and the receiver 302 of the detection element 3 can receive a second light signal through the light-transmitting part.

[0059] In this embodiment, taking the setting of one lifting rib as an example, the first driving component drives the emitter 301 to rotate and simultaneously drives the receiver 302 to rotate, so that both the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 are parallel to a horizontal plane or a plane in space. The emitter 301 of the detection element 3 emits a first light signal through the opening 4 and the transparent cover 5 into the clothes inside the tube 11. The first light signal is diffusely reflected by the clothes to form a second light signal. The receiver 302 of the detection element 3 receives the second light signal passing through the transparent cover 5 from the opening 4. The first light signal emitted by the emitter 301 will be diffusely reflected by the clothes to form a second light signal. When clothes pass through the drum 11, some of the light signals are blocked, reflected, or absorbed by the clothes, while others penetrate the clothes. The reflected light signals are the second light signals, which are received by the receiving electrode 302. Different materials of clothing have different reflectivity to the first light signals emitted by the emitting electrode 301. By utilizing this difference in reflectivity of different materials of clothing to light signals, the material of the clothes inside the 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.

[0060] Furthermore, during the process of identifying the clothing material, the emitter 301 and receiver 302 in the detection component 3 of the second driving component 7 can be driven to have different distances from the top wall of the housing 1, such as... Figures 9-11As shown, the vertical distances between the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 and the top wall of the housing 1 can be A, B, and C, respectively. At these three distances, the same garment covered on the top wall of the lifting rib is identified by the diffuse reflection method described above. Since the second light signal band received by the receiver 302 is different when detected at different distances, some interference can be eliminated by comparison, making the material identification result more accurate.

[0061] Furthermore, the first driving component 6 drives the emitter 301 and receiver 302 in the detection element 3 to rotate relative to each other. The emitter 301 of the detection element 3 emits a first light signal through the transparent cover 5 from the opening 4 into the washing water in the drum 11. The first light signal is refracted by the washing water to form a second light signal. The receiver 302 of the detection element 3 receives the second light signal passing through the transparent cover 5 from the opening 4. By utilizing the different refractive abilities of different media to light signals, the detection element 3 can identify the degree of dirtiness of the washing water. Based on the degree of dirtiness of the washing water, the washing time and rinsing times can be selected, so that the washing achieves energy saving and cleaning effect.

[0062] It should be noted that, in one embodiment of this application, the light signal can generate diffuse reflection after coming into contact with clothing, thereby obtaining the diffuse reflection parameter value.

[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 intensity of the reflected light signal, or it can be a parameter value obtained by calculating the parameter value of the reflected light signal itself, such as substituting the wavelength and / or intensity of the reflected light signal into a preset calculation formula to obtain the diffuse reflection parameter value. In general, it is sufficient as long as different clothing materials 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 that includes the wavelength and intensity of the reflected light signal. For example, the diffuse reflection parameter value a = (wavelength λ - absorbed wavelength ΔE) / wavelength λ * φ luminous flux * power factor (intensity related).

[0065] In this embodiment, in order to determine the material of the clothing, a standard range of diffuse reflection values ​​is preset. Different standard ranges of diffuse reflection values ​​correspond to different clothing materials. In other words, there is a correspondence between the standard range of diffuse reflection values ​​and the clothing material.

[0066] Specifically, the diffuse reflectance standard value range is a numerical range composed of diffuse reflectance standard values. It's important to note that diffuse reflectance standard values ​​and diffuse reflectance parameter values ​​are of the same type or obtained using the same algorithm. The difference lies in that diffuse reflectance standard values ​​are parameter values ​​obtained by conducting diffuse reflectance experiments on clothing with known material characteristics, while diffuse reflectance parameter values ​​are parameter values ​​obtained by conducting diffuse reflectance experiments on clothing during actual material identification. For ease of understanding, for example, during testing, formula A is used to calculate the wavelength and intensity of the reflected light signal after diffuse reflection to obtain the diffuse reflectance standard value. After multiple tests on clothing of material 'a', a numerical range P1 can be defined based on all the obtained diffuse reflectance standard values. In actual clothing material identification, formula A is also used to calculate the wavelength and intensity of the reflected light signal after diffuse reflection, thus obtaining the diffuse reflectance parameter value. Since the calculation process for the diffuse reflectance parameter value is the same as that for the diffuse reflectance standard value, the clothing material can be determined based on the diffuse reflectance parameter value.

[0067] The correspondence between diffuse reflectance standard value ranges and clothing materials is as follows: each type of clothing material corresponds to a diffuse reflectance standard value range, and different types of clothing materials correspond to different diffuse reflectance standard value ranges. For example, material 'a' corresponds to diffuse reflectance standard value range P1, which is the correspondence. This ensures that when the diffuse reflectance parameter value is within P1, the clothing material can be determined to be 'a'. Preferably, the correspondence obtained using an ultraviolet sensor and the formula includes: 100-130 corresponds to cotton, 135-155 to linen, 190-230 to wool, 165-189 to silk, 290-330 to polyester fiber, and 335-390 to synthetic fiber.

[0068] Let's take a setup with three lifting ribs as an example. Figure 6As shown, the first driving component drives the emitter 301 to rotate and simultaneously drives the receiver 302 to rotate, so that the emitter 301 of any of the detection elements 3 and the receiver 302 of any other detection element 3 are opposite each other. The emitter 301 of the detection element 3 emits a first light signal through the opening 4 and the transparent cover 5 into the clothes inside the tube 11. The first light signal is transmitted through the clothes to form a second light signal. The receiver 302 of the detection element 3 receives the second light signal that has passed through the transparent cover 5 through the opening 4. The first light signal emitted by the emitter 301 passes through the clothes inside the tube 11. Part of the light signal is blocked, reflected or absorbed by the clothes, while the other part of the light signal penetrates the clothes. The light signal of the object is the second light signal, which is received by the receiving electrode 302. 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 different materials of clothing, the material of the clothing inside the drum 11 can be determined. Based on the determined material, a washing mode matching the material can be selected, thereby achieving targeted protection for different materials of clothing during the washing process. The detection element 3 in the three lifting ribs can form a relatively closed ring detection net. The ring detection net can more comprehensively cover the clothing inside the drum 11, thereby making the detection element 3 more accurate in identifying the material of the clothing.

[0069] By designing the first drive component 6 and the second drive component 7 to drive the detection component 3 to rotate and lift, the detection component 3 can identify the material of clothing through diffuse reflection and transmission, and can also detect the degree of dirtiness of washing water through refraction. This achieves a combination of multiple clothing material identification methods, resulting in more accurate identification results.

[0070] 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.

[0071] 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.

[0072] Specifically, transmission parameter values ​​can be the parameters of the transmitted light signal itself after transmission, such as the transmittance and intensity of the transmitted light signal, or they can be calculated from the parameters of the transmitted light signal itself, for example, by substituting the transmittance and / or intensity of the transmitted light signal into a preset calculation formula to obtain the transmission parameter values. In general, it is sufficient as long as different clothing materials correspond to different transmission parameter values.

[0073] In an embodiment, the preset calculation formula for calculating the transmission parameter value can be a formula that includes the wavelength and intensity of the transmitted light signal. For example, the transmission parameter value b = T% * φ luminous flux * power factor (intensity-related), and the transmittance T% = I (light intensity after transmission reduction) / IO (original light intensity) * 100%.

[0074] In this embodiment, in order to determine the material of the clothing, a transmission standard value range is preset. Different transmission standard value ranges correspond to different clothing materials. In other words, there is a corresponding relationship between the transmission standard value range and the clothing material.

[0075] Specifically, the transmission standard value range is a numerical range composed of transmission standard values. It's important to note that transmission standard values ​​and transmission parameter values ​​are of the same type or obtained using the same algorithm. The difference lies in that transmission standard values ​​are obtained by conducting transmission experiments on clothing with known material properties, while transmission parameter values ​​are obtained by conducting transmission experiments on clothing during actual material identification. For ease of understanding, for example, during testing, formula B is used to calculate the transmittance and intensity of the transmitted light signal to obtain the transmission standard value. After multiple tests on clothing of material b, a numerical range Q1 can be defined based on all the obtained transmission standard values. In actual clothing material identification, formula B is also used to calculate the transmittance and intensity of the transmitted light signal to obtain the transmission parameter value. Since the calculation process for the transmission parameter value is the same as that for the transmission standard value, the clothing material can be determined based on the transmission parameter value.

[0076] The correspondence between transmission standard value ranges and clothing materials is as follows: each type of clothing material corresponds to a transmission standard value range, and different types of clothing materials correspond to different transmission standard value ranges. For example, material 'a' corresponds to the transmission standard value range Q1, which is the correspondence. This ensures that when the transmission parameter value is within Q1, the clothing material can be determined to be 'a'. Preferably, the correspondence obtained using an ultraviolet sensor includes: 10-13 corresponds to cotton, 13.5-15.5 corresponds to linen, 19-23 corresponds to wool, 16.5-18.9 corresponds to silk, 29-33 corresponds to polyester fiber, and 33.5-39 corresponds to synthetic fiber.

[0077] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figures 10-11 As shown,

[0078] Driven by the first driving component 6, the emitter 301 and receiver 302 of the detection element 3 can switch between a first working posture and a second working posture. In the first working posture, the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 are opposite each other so that the emitter 301 emits a light signal through the light-transmitting part to the receiver 302. In the second working posture, the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 are both facing the inside of the cylinder 11 and the light signal emitted by the emitter 301 can be received by the receiver 302 after being reflected by the clothing.

[0079] Driven by the second driving component 7, the emitter 301 and receiver 302 of the detection component 3 can switch at different heights from the light-transmitting part. The emitter 301 emits light signals to the clothes inside the tube 11 at different heights of the light-transmitting part, and the light signals emitted by the emitter 301 can be received by the receiver 302 after being reflected or transmitted by the clothes.

[0080] Furthermore, under the drive of the first driving component 6, the emitter 301 and receiver 302 of the detection element 3 can be rotated to be parallel to each other or on the same plane, and the light signal emitted by the emitter 301 can be received by the receiver 302 after being reflected by the clothing.

[0081] In this embodiment, the lifting rib also includes a controller, which is designed as follows:

[0082] The first driving component 6 drives the emitter 301 and receiver 302 of the detection element 3 to rotate. The emitter 301 of the detection element 3 can emit a first light signal through the transparent cover 5 from the opening 4 to the clothes or washing water in the drum 11. The first light signal forms a second light signal after passing through the clothes or washing water. The receiver 302 of the detection element 3 can receive the second light signal passing through the transparent cover 5 from the opening 4.

[0083] The second drive assembly 7 controls the raising and lowering of the emitter 301 and receiver 302 of the detection element 3. The emitter 301 of the detection element 3 can emit a first light signal through the transparent cover 5 to the clothes or washing water inside the drum 11 at different positions inside the opening 4. The first light signal forms a second light signal after passing through the clothes or washing water. The receiver 302 of the detection element 3 can receive the second light signal passing through the transparent cover 5 at different positions inside the opening 4.

[0084] In this embodiment, the working states of the first driving component 6 and the second driving component 7 are uniformly controlled by the controller. Based on the received signal indication, when it is necessary to identify the clothing material through diffuse reflection, the controller controls the first driving component to drive the emitter 301 to rotate, and simultaneously drives the receiver 302 to rotate, so that the emitter 301 and receiver 302 face the same direction, both towards the central axis of the cylinder 11. That is, the emitter 301 and receiver 302 rotate until they are parallel to each other or on the same plane. The emitter 301 of the detection element 3 emits a first light signal through the opening 4 and the transparent cover 5 into the clothing inside the cylinder 11. The first light signal is diffusely reflected by the clothing to form a second light signal. The receiver 302 of the detection element 3 receives the second light signal passing through the transparent cover 5 from the opening 4. Based on the correspondence between the preset interval corresponding to the second light signal and the clothing material, the material of the clothing is determined. During the process of identifying the clothing material, the second driving component 7 is controlled to drive the emitter 301 and receiver 302 in the detection element 3 to have different distances from the top wall of the shell 1. Figures 9-11 As shown, the vertical distances between the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 and the top wall of the housing 1 can be A, B, and C, respectively. At these three distances, the same garment covered on the top wall of the lifting rib is identified by the diffuse reflection method described above. Since the second light signal band received by the receiver 302 is different when detected at different distances, some interference can be eliminated by comparison, making the material identification result more accurate.

[0085] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown,

[0086] The light-transmitting portion includes an opening 4 formed in the top wall 1011 and the side wall 1012 of the housing 1, and a transparent cover 5 disposed at the opening 4. When the lifting rib is disposed on the inner wall of the cylinder 11, the top wall 1011 is opposite to the inner wall of the cylinder 11, and the side wall 1012 extends from the top wall 1011 toward the inner wall of the cylinder 11.

[0087] The transparent cover 5 and the opening 4 together form a recessed portion 501 for the flow of washing water, and a first detection cavity 502 and a second detection cavity 503 located on both sides of the recessed portion 501. The emitter 301 is located in the first detection cavity 502, and the receiver 302 is located in the second detection cavity 503.

[0088] Driven by the first driving component 6, the emitter 301 and receiver 302 of the detection element 3 can switch between a first working posture and a second working posture. In the first working posture, the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 are opposite each other so that the emitter 301 emits a light signal through the recess 501 to the receiver 302. In the second working posture, both the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 are facing the inside of the cylinder 11 and the light signal emitted by the emitter 301 can be received by the receiver 302 after being reflected by the clothing.

[0089] The lifting rib also includes a controller, which is designed to: control the first driving component 6 to drive the emitter 301 and receiver 302 of the detection element 3 to rotate relative to each other; control the emitter 301 of the detection element 3 to emit a first light signal from the opening 4 through the transparent cover 5 into the washing water in the recess 501; the first light signal is refracted by the washing water to form a second light signal; and control the receiver 302 of the detection element 3 to receive the second light signal passing through the transparent cover 5 from the opening 4.

[0090] In this embodiment, the transparent cover 5 is m-shaped, transparent, made of acrylic material, with strong light transmittance and good waterproof performance. It will not affect the transmission and reception of the detection element 3, and also provides waterproof protection for the detection element 3.

[0091] The M-shaped transparent cover 5 has a recessed portion 501 in the middle, and a first detection cavity 502 and a second detection cavity 503 are formed on both sides of the recessed portion 501. The recessed portion 501 facilitates the direct entry of washing water. The first detection cavity 502 provides a detection chamber for the emitter 301, and the second detection cavity 503 provides a detection chamber for the receiver 302. This allows the emitter 301 and receiver 302 to form a counter-beam when they are facing each other, facilitating the detection of washing water in the middle position. The controller controls the first drive assembly 6 to drive the emitter 301 and receiver 302 in the detection element 3 to rotate to face each other. The emitter 301 of the detection element 3... A first light signal is emitted from the opening 4 through the transparent cover 5 into the washing water inside the drum 11. The first light signal is refracted by the washing water to form a second light signal. The receiving electrode 302 of the detection element 3 receives the second light signal passing through the transparent cover 5 from the opening 4. By utilizing the different refractive abilities of different media to light signals, the detection element 3 can identify the degree of dirtiness of the washing water. Based on the correspondence between the second light signal received by the receiving electrode 302 and the degree of dirtiness of the washing water, the degree of dirtiness of the washing water is determined. Based on the degree of dirtiness of the washing water, the washing time, number of rinses, etc. can be selected, so that the washing achieves energy saving and cleaning effect.

[0092] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown,

[0093] The first drive assembly 6 includes a first motor mount 601, a first motor A602, and a first motor B603. Both the first motor A602 and the first motor B603 are mounted on the first motor mount 601. The output end of the first motor A602 is connected to the emitter 301 and is used to drive the emitter 301 to rotate around the axis of the emitter 301 along its length. The output end of the first motor B603 is connected to the receiver 302 and is used to drive the receiver 302 to rotate around the axis of the receiver 302 along its length.

[0094] In this embodiment, the first motor A is used to drive the emitter 301 to rotate, and the first motor B is used to drive the receiver 302 to rotate. The controller controls the first motor A 602 and the first motor B 603, so that the direction of the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 can be adjusted according to the recognition requirements. For example, if it is necessary to use transmission to identify the material of clothing, the first driving component 6 can be controlled to drive the emitter 301 of any detection element 3 to be opposite to the receiver 302 other than any detection element 3.

[0095] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown,

[0096] The second drive assembly 7 includes a second motor base 701, a second motor 702, and a lead screw 703. The second motor 702 is mounted on the second motor base 701. The output end of the second motor 702 is connected to the lead screw 703 through two gear meshing. The first motor base 601 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 703. A limiting cavity 8 is provided in the cavity 2. The limiting cavity 8 is used to limit the radial position of the first motor base 601 on the lead screw 703.

[0097] In this embodiment, the second motor 702 drives the lead screw 703 to rotate. The first motor base 601 is limited by the limiting cavity 8 and does not rotate radially with the lead screw 703. Therefore, the rotation of the lead screw 703 can force the first motor base 601 to move up and down along the axial direction of the lead screw 703. The first motor A 602 and the first motor B 603, as well as the emitter 301 and the receiver 302, all move up and down with the first motor base 601, thereby facilitating the change of the distance between the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 and the top wall of the housing 1.

[0098] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown,

[0099] The cavity 2 is provided with a baffle that is vertically arranged opposite to one end of the emitter 301 and the receiver 302. The baffle is provided with holes 13 at intervals along the axial direction of the lead screw 703. A proximity switch 9 is provided in the hole 13. Magnets 10 that cooperate with the proximity switch 9 are provided on both the emitter 301 and the receiver 302. The controller is also designed to control the working state of the second motor 702. When the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 are at the proximity switch 9, the proximity switch 9 senses the magnet 10 and transmits a stop signal to the controller. The controller controls the second drive assembly 7 to stop working.

[0100] In this embodiment, the hole 13 is designed to allow the proximity switch 9 to be fixed vertically at intervals on the side wall of the opening 4. The cooperation between the proximity switch 9 and the magnet 10 facilitates precise control of the rising or falling strokes of the emitter 301 and the receiver 302. When the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 reach the position of the proximity switch 9, the controller can stop them, thereby allowing the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 to accurately reach the preset position.

[0101] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown,

[0102] The shell 1 includes a shell cover 101 and a shell bottom 102, which are detachably connected. The shell bottom 102 is connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 11, and the shell 1 faces the central axis of the cylinder 11.

[0103] Both the cavity 2 and the opening 4 are formed on the shell cover 101. The second motor base 701 is fixedly connected to the shell bottom 102. The shell cover 101 is also provided with a positioning groove 12 that is opposite to the output end of the second motor 702 and the lead screw 703. The output end of the second motor 702 and the end of the lead screw 703 are rotatably connected in the corresponding positioning groove 12.

[0104] In this embodiment, the shell cover 101 and the shell bottom 102 can be connected by screws. The shell cover 101 is provided with screw holes at the four corners, and the shell bottom 102 is fixedly connected with screw posts at the four corners. Screws are used to pass through the screw holes and connect to the corresponding screw posts to connect the shell cover 101 and the shell bottom 102. The shell bottom 102 is connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 11 by another screw post and screw, so that the entire lifting rib is fixed to the inner wall of the cylinder 11.

[0105] The second motor base 701 is fixed to the bottom of the housing 102, which can stably support the second motor 702. The output end of the second motor 702 and the lead screw 703 are rotatably connected in the corresponding positioning groove 12, so that the output end of the second motor 702 and the lead screw 703 can maintain stable rotation.

[0106] Alternatively, in one implementation of this embodiment,

[0107] The detection element 3 is an ultraviolet sensor or a near-infrared light sensor, the emitter 301 is the emitter of the ultraviolet sensor or the emitter of the near-infrared light sensor, and the receiver 302 is the receiver of the ultraviolet sensor or the receiver of the near-infrared light sensor.

[0108] 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.

[0109] 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.

[0110] Example 2

[0111] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a clothing processing drum, including:

[0112] The cylinder 11 and the lifting ribs of embodiment one installed on the inner wall of the cylinder 11.

[0113] In this embodiment, when the number of lifting ribs inside the cylinder 11 is one, the first driving component drives the emitter 301 to rotate and simultaneously drives the receiver 302 to rotate, so that both the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 are parallel to the horizontal plane, and the material of the clothing inside the cylinder 11 is identified by diffuse reflection. During the process of identifying the material of the clothing inside the cylinder 11 by diffuse reflection, the second driving component 7 can drive the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 in the detection component 3 to have different distances from the top wall of the shell 1, such as... Figures 9-11 As shown, the vertical distances between the emitter 301 and the receiver 302 and the top wall of the housing 1 can be A, B, and C, respectively. At these three distances, the same garment covered on the top wall of the lifting rib is identified by diffuse reflection. Since the second light signal band received by the receiver 302 is different when detected at different distances, some interference can be eliminated by comparison, making the material identification result more accurate.

[0114] Furthermore, by driving the first drive assembly 6 to rotate the emitter 301 and receiver 302 in the detection component 3 to opposite positions, the degree of dirtiness of the washing water is identified by refraction. Based on the degree of dirtiness of the washing water, the washing time and number of rinses can be selected, so that the washing achieves energy saving and cleaning effect.

[0115] When the number of lifting ribs inside the cylinder 11 is 3, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first driving component drives the emitter 301 to rotate and simultaneously drives the receiver 302 to rotate, so that the emitter 301 in any of the detection elements 3 and the receiver 302 other than any of the detection elements 3 are opposite each other, and the material of the clothing inside the cylinder 11 is identified by transmission. The three detection elements 3 form a ring light signal network inside the cylinder 11, which can fully cover the clothing and make the material identification result more accurate.

[0116] Example 3

[0117] This embodiment provides a garment processing device, including...

[0118] As shown in Example 2, the clothing processing tube.

[0119] Specifically, there are n lifting ribs, where n≥2. Two of the n lifting ribs form a lifting rib group, and the lifting rib group includes a first lifting rib and a second lifting rib.

[0120] The first driving component 6 of the first lifting rib can drive the emitter 301 of the first lifting rib to rotate, and the first driving component 6 of the second lifting rib can drive the receiver 302 of the second lifting rib to rotate opposite to the emitter 301 of the first lifting rib. The emitter 301 of the first lifting rib can emit a first light signal from the light-transmitting part through the transparent cover 5 to the clothes inside the 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 can receive the second light signal passing through the transparent cover 5 from the light-transmitting part.

[0121] Specifically, the first driving component 6 can drive the receiving electrode 302 and the emitting electrode 301 in the lifting rib to be parallel to each other. The emitting electrode 301 in the lifting rib can emit a first light signal from the opening 4 through the transparent cover 5 to the clothes inside the tube 11. The first light signal is diffusely reflected by the clothes to form a second light signal. The receiving electrode 302 in the lifting rib can receive the second light signal passing through the transparent cover 5 from the opening 4.

[0122] In this embodiment, the clothing processing device is a washing machine. Before washing the clothes, the washing machine can identify the material of the clothes. The method of material identification can be transmission, diffuse reflection, or a combination of transmission and diffuse reflection detection. Based on the result of material identification, a washing mode matching the material is selected, thereby achieving targeted washing and protection of clothes of different materials during the washing process. Furthermore, during the washing process, the washing machine can identify the degree of dirtiness of the washing water and select the washing time, rinsing times, etc., based on the degree of dirtiness of the washing water, so that the washing achieves energy saving and cleaning effect.

[0123] In summary, the ingenious design of the lifting rib lies in:

[0124] First, by designing the first and second driving components to simultaneously drive the emitter and receiver in the detection element to rotate, and in conjunction with the driving lifting, the detection element can identify the material of clothing through diffuse reflection and transmission, and can also detect the degree of dirtiness of the washing water through refraction. This achieves a combination of multiple clothing material identification methods, resulting in more accurate identification results.

[0125] Second, the transparent cover is designed in an M-shape, with a recessed part in the middle and a first detection chamber and a second detection chamber on both sides of the recessed part. The recessed part allows washing water to enter directly. The first detection chamber provides a detection chamber for the transmitter and the second detection chamber provides a detection chamber for the receiver, so that when the transmitter and receiver are facing each other, they can form a beam, which is convenient for detecting the washing water located in the middle position.
