[0019] Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, an example of which is illustrated in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated.

[0020] The embodiments described in the following examples of the present invention are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention, but rather are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present invention, as recited in the appended claims.

[0021] It should be noted that all operations of acquiring signals, information or data in this invention are subject to compliance with the relevant data protection regulations and policies of the country in which they are located and are performed when authorized by the owner of the relevant device.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a washing method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps:

[0023] In step S11, when the washing machine is washing, the washing machine's anti-transfer device is turned on to release an active material having oxidizing properties.

[0024] For example, in the embodiments described in the present invention, the washing machine may be a drum washing machine, a pulsator washing machine, a combined washer-dryer, an inverter washing machine, etc., and the present invention does not limit the type, capacity, or brand of the washing machine. A color transfer prevention device, which may be an electrolytic device or an electrochemical device, is attached to the bottom of the washing machine. If the color transfer prevention device is an electrolytic device capable of electrolyzing water in the washing machine to generate oxidizing substances such as chloric acid and chlorine gas, the electrolytic device is turned on. If the color transfer prevention device is an electrochemical device capable of releasing oxidizing active substances (e.g., hydroxyl radicals, ozone, etc.), the electrochemical device is turned on.

[0025] In step S12, the water supply to the washing machine is controlled, and the water supply is stopped when the water level of the washing machine reaches a first target water level.

[0026] For example, the higher the concentration of the oxidizing substance contained in the water used to wash the clothes, the more sufficient the reaction between the oxidizing substance and the faded dyes of the clothes, and the lower the possibility of the clothes staining each other. Therefore, when the water supply level of the washing machine reaches the wash water level, the concentration of the active substance in the water injected into the washing machine is low, so as to avoid an increased possibility of the clothes staining each other, when the water supply level of the washing machine reaches the first target water level, the washing machine is controlled to stop supplying water, but the color transfer prevention device remains on. At this time, as the oxidizing substance continues to be released from the color transfer prevention device, the concentration of the oxidizing active substance contained in the water injected into the washing machine gradually increases.

[0027] Optionally, the first target water level is equal to or lower than the height of an outer wall of the inner cylinder of the washing machine.

[0028] For example, in order to allow the water injected into the washing machine to contain sufficient oxidizing substances, the first target water level can be set to be equal to or lower than the height of the outer wall of the inner tube of the washing machine, that is, when the water injected into the washing machine reaches the height of the outer wall of the inner tube of the washing machine, the water injected into the washing machine can be prevented from coming into contact with the clothes waiting to be washed in the washing machine.

[0029] In step S13, when the time for which the water supply has been stopped reaches a first set time, the water supply of the washing machine is controlled, and when the water supply level reaches a second target water level higher than the first target water level, the water supply is stopped and the clothes in the washing machine are washed.

[0030] For example, during the first set time, the color transfer prevention device is on, and can increase the concentration of oxidizing substances in the water until the first target water level is reached. When the time during which the water supply is stopped reaches the first set time, the washing machine is controlled to continue supplying water. When the water level in the washing machine reaches a second target water level, the water supply is stopped, and the clothes in the washing machine are washed. As can be understood, a washing machine may perform different washing processes in different modes during the process of washing clothes. The present invention is not limited to the washing process. However, if the washing process includes a draining process, the color transfer prevention device of the washing machine can be turned off when the washing machine drains, and if there is a process of continuing to inject water after the draining is completed, the color transfer prevention device can be turned on again when water is being added.

[0031] In the above technical solution, when the washing machine is washing, the washing machine's color transfer prevention device for releasing an oxidizing active substance is turned on, the water supply of the washing machine is controlled, the water supply is stopped when the water supply level of the washing machine reaches a first target water level, the water supply of the washing machine is controlled when the water supply stop time reaches a first set time, the water supply is stopped when the water supply level reaches a second target water level higher than the first set water level, and the clothes in the washing machine are washed. By allowing the water in the washing machine to fully dissolve the oxidizing active substance within the first set time, the possibility of cross-staining of the clothes during washing can be reduced, and the user's product loss can be reduced.

[0032] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a washing method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, step S13 includes the following steps:

[0033] In step S131, the second target water level is determined according to the washing mode of the washing machine.

[0034] For example, washing machines typically have a variety of different washing modes, such as standard washing, quick washing, and large item washing, and the washing rotation speed, washing water level, washing time, and washing process of the washing machine may all be different in different washing modes. Therefore, the second target water level can be determined according to the washing mode selected by the user. Here, the washing water level corresponding to each washing mode can be preset in the washing machine controller by the washing machine manufacturer, and when the washing mode is determined, the washing water level corresponding to the washing mode can be obtained and set as the second target water level.

[0035] In step S132, when the time for which the water supply has been stopped reaches the first set time, the water supply of the washing machine is controlled, and when the water supply level reaches the second target water level, the water supply is stopped and the clothes in the washing machine are washed.

[0036] FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a washing method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, step S13 includes the following steps:

[0037] In step S133, the second target water level is determined based on the weight of the clothes in the washing machine.

[0038] For example, to reduce water consumption when washing clothes in a washing machine, a weight sensor can be added to the washing machine, and when washing clothes, the wash water level can be determined based on the weight of the waiting clothes obtained by the weight sensor. Here, the relationship between the weight of the waiting clothes and the wash water level can be preset in the washing machine controller by the washing machine manufacturer. When the weight of the waiting clothes is determined, the wash water level corresponding to the weight can be obtained and set as the second target water level. For example, the relationship between the weight of the waiting clothes and the wash water level can be as shown in Table 1. When the waiting clothes weigh 3.5 kg, the wash water level can be 60 L, i.e., the second target water level can be 60 L.

[0039] [Table 1]

[0040] In step S134, when the time for which the water supply has been stopped reaches the first set time, the water supply of the washing machine is controlled, and when the water supply level reaches the second target water level, the water supply is stopped and the clothes in the washing machine are washed.

[0041] FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a washing method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, step S13 includes the following steps:

[0042] In step S135, the clothes in the washing machine are pre-washed at a first rotation speed.

[0043] For example, when the water supply level in the washing machine reaches the second target water level, the washing machine can be controlled to stop water supply, and the clothes in the washing machine can be pre-washed at a first rotation speed, where the first rotation speed may be a small value (e.g., 300 rpm) preset in the washing machine by the manufacturer, which can prevent the active substances in the water from sufficiently reacting with the faded dyes of the clothes immediately after the start of washing, causing staining of light-colored clothes, and can also prevent staining of light-colored clothes due to the clothes becoming tangled with each other due to a rotation speed that is too high.

[0044] In step S136, when the pre-wash time of the washing machine reaches the second set time, the color transfer prevention device is turned off to control the drainage of water in the washing machine.

[0045] For example, when the pre-wash time of the washing machine reaches the second set time, the active substance in the water has already fully reacted with the faded dye of the clothes. At this time, in order to avoid the clothes from fading too much and the fully reacted water still containing a certain amount of dye, the color transfer prevention device can be turned off and the washing machine's drainage can be controlled to remove the water containing unreacted dye.

[0046] In step S137, after the water in the washing machine is drained, the color transfer prevention device is turned on.

[0047] In step S138, the water supply of the washing machine is controlled, and when the water supply level reaches the second target water level, the water supply is stopped, and the clothes in the washing machine are washed at a second rotation speed that is higher than the first rotation speed.

[0048] For example, after the washing machine has drained, the color transfer prevention device can be turned on again to refill the washing machine with water, and when the water supply level of the washing machine reaches the second target water level, the water supply can be stopped, and the clothes in the washing machine can be washed at a second rotation speed. Here, the second rotation speed can be greater than the first rotation speed and can be a wash rotation speed corresponding to the current wash mode of the washing machine. Therefore, before washing the clothes in the washing machine at the second rotation speed, the method can further include determining a second rotation speed of the washing machine according to the wash mode of the washing machine. For example, if the wash mode is standard wash, the second rotation speed is 600 rotations per minute.

[0049] FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a washing method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, step S11 includes the following steps:

[0050] In step S111, when the washing machine is washing, if the washing machine turns on the anti-transfer washing aid, it will turn on the anti-transfer device for releasing an oxidizing active material.

[0051] For example, a color transfer prevention washing auxiliary switch can be added to the washing machine to prevent the clothes from being stained when washing. When the washing machine is washing and the color transfer prevention washing auxiliary switch is turned on, the color transfer prevention device is turned on and the washing can be done by performing the above steps S12 and S13; otherwise, the washing machine can wash the clothes in the normal manner.

[0052] FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a washing method according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the method further includes the following steps:

[0053] In step S14, after the washing machine has finished washing, the color transfer prevention device is turned off and the water in the washing machine is controlled to be discharged.

[0054] For example, after the washing machine is completed, the color transfer prevention device can be turned off to control the drainage of the washing machine so that the water in the washing machine is drained. It can be understood that after the water in the washing machine is completely drained, the washing machine may have other courses such as spin-drying and drying.

[0055] In the above technical solution, when the washing machine is washing, the washing machine's color transfer prevention device for releasing an oxidizing active substance is turned on, the water supply of the washing machine is controlled, the water supply is stopped when the water supply level of the washing machine reaches a first target water level, the water supply of the washing machine is controlled when the water supply stop time reaches a first set time, the water supply is stopped when the water supply level reaches a second target water level higher than the first set water level, and the clothes in the washing machine are washed. By allowing the water in the washing machine to fully dissolve the oxidizing active substance within the first set time, the possibility of cross-staining of the clothes during washing can be reduced, and the user's product loss can be reduced.

[0056] 7 is a schematic diagram of a laundry machine 700 according to one example embodiment. Referring to FIG. 7, the machine includes a first control module 710, a second control module 720, and a third control module 730.
