[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0034] Optionally, according to one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a control method for a clothing processing device is provided. As an optional implementation, the control method for the clothing processing device can be, but is not limited to, applied in an application environment as shown in FIG1 . As shown in FIG1 , human-computer interaction can be performed between a user 102 and a clothing processing device 10. The clothing processing device 10 includes a memory 106 and a processor 108. In this embodiment, the clothing processing device 10 can, but is not limited to, refer to and perform the following operations: forming a detergent solution in the delivery component of the clothing processing device 10, spraying the above-mentioned washing foam to the load in the washing tub of the clothing processing device 10; determining to stop spraying the above-mentioned washing foam, and filling water into the above-mentioned washing tub through the above-mentioned delivery component. The above-mentioned clothing processing device 10 can be various clothing processing devices such as a washing machine and a washer-dryer. The above is only an example, and this embodiment does not impose any limitation on this.

[0035] In the related art, when processing clothes, the clothes processing equipment usually puts detergent into the barrel of the clothes processing equipment and fills water to a preset water level to wash the clothes. However, the above method cannot effectively bring the detergent ingredients into full contact with the clothes, which will lead to poor decontamination effect during the clothing processing process.

[0036] In order to solve the above technical problems, as an optional implementation method, as shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a clothes processing device, comprising the following steps:

[0037] S202, adding washing foam to the load in the clothing processing chamber.

[0038] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, washing foam is delivered to the load in the clothing processing chamber through a delivery component, and the delivery component includes a detergent mixing chamber, which is used to mix detergent and water to form a detergent solution. The detergent solution formed after the detergent and water are mixed is delivered to the load in the form of foam through an atomizing nozzle in the delivery component. The surface of the load is directly in contact with the foamy detergent solution with a higher concentration, which can enhance the washing effect on the clothes. In addition, the foam will form a foam film in the inner barrel, which is also conducive to preventing the foamy detergent solution from flowing out of the inner barrel of the washing barrel, so that the detergent solution can fully contact the clothes. The detergent here includes liquid detergent and / or solid detergent. Among them, liquid detergent may include detergent and softener, and solid detergent may include washing powder, solid detergent and laundry beads. The load includes various clothes or other washing items. The clothing processing chamber includes a washing barrel or a drying drum, etc.

[0039] In the prior art, most laundry processing devices dispense detergent by directly dispensing the detergent solution between the inner and outer barrels of the laundry processing device, or by directly dispensing the detergent solution onto the load. The above two methods cannot effectively bring the detergent ingredients into full contact with the laundry, resulting in poor decontamination effects; and they cannot reduce the friction between the laundry and the washing barrel. The present application, on the other hand, directly dispenses the detergent in foam form onto the load. The foamy detergent solution can increase the coverage area within the washing barrel, thereby increasing the area of ​​the laundry wetted, increasing the contact area between the detergent volume and the laundry, allowing the detergent ingredients to fully contact the stains, and thereby improving the detergent's washing effect on the laundry. It can also reduce the friction between the laundry and the laundry processing chamber, and better protect the laundry; and the mist-like or foamy detergent solution sprayed onto the load can reduce the impact on the already formed foam.

[0040] S204, determining to stop adding the washing foam, and controlling the clothes processing device to feed water into the clothes processing chamber.

[0041] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, after the washing foam is added, water can be added to the washing tub to perform the washing operation. After the water is added to the washing tub, the clothes can be fully wetted, thereby improving the stain cleaning effect of the clothes.

[0042] In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, water is sprayed into the washing tub through an atomizing nozzle, and air is mixed into the water to form dense small bubbles, which can improve the rinsing effect of water on clothes, thereby achieving the effect of saving water and shortening the rinsing time.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, a detergent foam solution is added to the load in the washing tub; it is determined to stop adding the above-mentioned detergent foam solution, and the clothing processing equipment is controlled to supply water to the above-mentioned washing tub through the above-mentioned adding component. Compared with the related art of directly adding detergent and water into the clothing processing chamber for mixing, the present application forms a detergent solution through the adding component and then adds it into the clothing processing chamber in the form of foam. The washing foam can adhere to the surface of the clothes and wrap the clothes, reducing the friction between the clothes and the clothes processing chamber, better protecting the clothes, and fully contacting the detergent components in the detergent with the stains to make the detergent concentration more uniform, thereby improving the decontamination effect of the clothes.

[0044] As an optional implementation, as shown in FIG3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling a clothes processing device, comprising the following steps:

[0045] S302, driving the laundry processing chamber to rotate at a first speed and / or a first beat, and delivering the washing foam to a load in the rotating laundry processing chamber;

[0046] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, when dispensing washing foam, the washing tub is controlled to rotate while simultaneously spraying the washing foam, ensuring that the washing foam is evenly sprayed onto the load. In one example, the first rotation speed may be 35 rpm, the first rotation cycle duration may be 20 seconds, and the first pause duration may be 5 seconds. When the washing tub speed increases from zero to 35 rpm, the washing tub maintains a constant rotation speed of 35 rpm to spray the washing foam onto the load within the washing tub. After rotating at a constant speed of 35 rpm for 20 seconds, the washing tub pauses for 5 seconds, and then continues to rotate at a cycle of 20 seconds of rotation and 5 seconds of pause.

[0047] S304 , based on stopping the introduction of the washing foam, controlling the clothes processing device to supply water into the clothes processing chamber.

[0048] The above step S304 has been described above and will not be repeated here.

[0049] As an optional implementation, as shown in FIG4 , an embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a clothes processing device, comprising the following steps:

[0050] S402: driving the laundry processing chamber to rotate at a first speed and / or a first beat, and delivering the washing foam to a load in the rotating laundry processing chamber.

[0051] S404: Determine to stop adding the washing foam, drive the laundry processing chamber to rotate at a second speed and / or a second beat for a preset time, and make the load tumble in the laundry processing chamber.

[0052] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, after the washing foam is dispensed, the washing tub is driven to rotate at a preset second speed and / or second beat for a preset time period, causing the load to tumble in the washing tub, thereby evenly distributing the foamy detergent solution on the load. Furthermore, the tumbling load collides with the inner wall of the washing tub, creating a tumbling force that helps loosen stains on clothing and allows detergent components in the detergent solution to contact the stains, thereby facilitating stain removal. Furthermore, during the tumbling process, when the sprayed washing foam impacts the surface of the load or the inner wall of the washing tub, more foam is generated, enriching the foam and further helping to protect the clothing.

[0053] In one example, the second rotation speed may be 45 rpm, the rotation duration of the second beat may be 5 seconds, and the stop duration of the second beat may be 5 seconds; driving the washing tub to rotate according to the second rotation speed and / or the second beat for a preset time includes: controlling the washing tub to rotate at a constant speed of 45 rpm for 20 seconds and then stop for 5 seconds, and then continuing to control the rotation of the washing tub at a beat of rotating for 5 seconds and stopping for 5 seconds.

[0054] S406, controlling the clothes processing device to allow water to flow into the clothes processing chamber.

[0055] The above steps S402 and S406 have been described above and will not be repeated here.

[0056] In one or more embodiments, controlling the laundry processing device to allow water to flow into the laundry processing chamber includes: allowing water to flow into the laundry processing chamber through a delivery component for delivering the washing bubbles.

[0057] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, after the detergent solution spraying operation is completed, the water inlet valve is controlled to allow water to flow into the washing tub through the dispensing assembly. The detergent mixing chamber and atomizing nozzle of the dispensing assembly inject water into the washing tub, which helps flush out the detergent solution remaining in the detergent mixing chamber and improves the cleanliness of the dispensing assembly. Furthermore, the present application utilizes the dispensing assembly to not only dispense washing foam into the clothing processing chamber but also inject water into the clothing processing chamber, achieving the dispensing of two fluids using a single dispensing assembly. This simplifies the structure of the clothing processing apparatus and reduces the manufacturing cost of the clothing processing apparatus.

[0058] As an optional implementation, as shown in FIG5 , an embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling a clothes processing device, comprising the following steps:

[0059] S502, adding the washing foam to the load in the clothes processing chamber.

[0060] S504: Determine to stop adding the washing foam, drive the washing chamber to rotate at a third speed and / or a third beat, and synchronously fill water into the washing tub.

[0061] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, after the detergent solution is added, the washing tub is controlled to rotate while simultaneously inletting water, ensuring that water is evenly sprayed onto the load, fully wetting the clothes and improving the stain cleaning effect. In one example, the third speed can be 35 rpm, the third beat can rotate for 20 seconds, and the third beat can stop for 5 seconds. Driving the washing tub to rotate at the third speed and third beat while simultaneously inletting water into the washing tub includes: controlling the washing tub to rotate at a constant speed of 35 rpm and inletting water into the washing tub. The washing tub rotates at a constant speed of 35 rpm for 20 seconds, then stops for 5 seconds, and then continues to rotate at a beat of 20 seconds and 5 seconds.

[0062] The above step S502 has been described above and will not be repeated here.

[0063] As an optional implementation, as shown in FIG6 , an embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling a clothes processing device, comprising the following steps:

[0064] S602, determining the number of times to dispense lotion based on the load amount.

[0065] S604, sequentially executing the above-mentioned single-time delivery operations, wherein the above-mentioned single-time delivery operations include spraying a detergent solution of a single delivery amount onto the load, and filling water into the above-mentioned washing tub based on stopping delivery of washing foam.

[0066] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, when the load is large, detergent matching the load can be dispensed in multiple times. The single dispense amount of detergent can be determined based on the load. For example, a mapping relationship between the load and the detergent amount is stored in the memory of the clothing processing device, and the single dispense amount and the number of dispenses can be determined based on the mapping relationship.

[0067] In one example, for example, the amount of detergent added by the clothing processing device at one time is L0, the load amount corresponding to L0 is M1, and the load amount corresponding to 2L0 is M2. When the load amount is less than or equal to M1, L0 of detergent is added. When the load amount is greater than M1 and less than or equal to M2, L0 of detergent is added twice, that is, the detergent addition operation is performed twice, and so on. After all the pre-washing operations are completed, the clothing processing device performs the operation of filling water into the above-mentioned washing tub based on stopping spraying the detergent solution.

[0068] In another example, for instance, the corresponding relationship between the preset load amount and the detergent dosage is as follows: when the load amount M < M1, the detergent dosage is L0, where L0 is the single - time dosage of the detergent and the number of dosages is 1; when M1 < M < M2, the detergent dosage is L1, and L1 = 2L0, and the number of dosages is 2; when M2 < M < M3, the detergent dosage is L3, and L3 = 3L0, and the number of dosages is 3; when M3 < M < M4, the detergent dosage is L4, and L4 = 4L0, and the number of dosages is 4; where M1 < M2 < M3 < M4.

[0069] In one or more embodiments, forming a detergent solution in the dosing component includes:

[0070] Controlling the water inlet valve to inject a first amount of water into the above - mentioned dosing component, and controlling the above - mentioned dosing component to suck the single - time dosage of the detergent from the detergent box, and mixing to form the above - mentioned detergent solution; the concentration of the above - mentioned detergent solution is greater than or equal to a preset concentration.

[0071] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, the amount of detergent can be determined according to the load amount. For example, in the memory of the laundry treatment device, there is a mapping relationship between the amount of detergent per unit and the water required for its dissolution. After mixing the water of the first amount required for the single - time dosage of the detergent in the dosing component, a single - time dosage of the detergent solution is obtained. It should be noted that the above - mentioned first amount of water can make the concentration of the single - time - dosed detergent solution greater than or equal to the preset concentration, and can ensure that the residual amount of the detergent solution in the dosing component is less than or equal to the preset threshold.

[0072] In one or more embodiments, the above - mentioned dosing component includes a detergent dosing pump, a detergent mixing chamber, and an atomizing nozzle. The above - mentioned detergent mixing chamber is respectively connected to the above - mentioned detergent dosing pump and the above - mentioned atomizing nozzle; the above - mentioned detergent dosing pump extracts a target amount of detergent from the detergent box and injects it into the above - mentioned detergent mixing chamber; controlling the water inlet valve to inject an appropriate amount of water into the above - mentioned detergent mixing chamber, and after the detergent and the appropriate amount of water are mixed, a detergent solution is obtained. The detergent solution flows into the atomizing nozzle under the water pressure of the incoming water and forms a mist - like detergent solution, and then is sprayed into the washing tub.

[0073] In one or more embodiments, the detergent foam with a single - time dosage is put on the load in the laundry treatment chamber, including:

[0074] Sucking a single - time dosage of the detergent from the detergent box and injecting it into the detergent mixing chamber;

[0075] Controlling the water inlet valve to inject a first amount of water into the above - mentioned detergent mixing chamber, and after mixing to form a detergent solution, spraying the washing foam into the above - mentioned laundry treatment chamber through a nozzle.

[0076] As an optional implementation, as shown in FIG7 , an embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling a clothes processing device, comprising the following steps:

[0077] S702: Adding the detergent solution to the load in the clothing processing chamber.

[0078] S704, controlling the laundry processing chamber to stand still or rotate for a preset soaking time based on stopping the addition of the washing foam;

[0079] S706 , based on the preset soaking time being reached, controlling the clothes processing device to allow water to flow into the clothes processing chamber.

[0080] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, after the washing foam stops spraying, the washing tub is controlled to stand still or rotate for a preset soaking time, so that the load can be completely soaked with the washing foam, and the detergent solution can fully penetrate into the load, so that the detergent ingredients in the detergent solution can dissolve the stains well, and have a good cleaning effect on the load with more stains.

[0081] The above step S702 has been described above and will not be repeated here.

[0082] In one or more embodiments, the step of introducing water into the washing tub through the dispensing assembly includes:

[0083] The water inlet valve is controlled to open, and a second amount of water is introduced into the washing tub through the feeding assembly. The second amount of water is determined based on the load amount corresponding to the load.

[0084] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, after the water inlet valve is opened, the water inflow per unit time is within a preset range. Before the water is introduced into the washing tub via the dispensing assembly, the required water inflow (the second water volume) can be determined based on the weight of the load. It is understood that the required second water volume can be obtained by controlling the opening time of the water inlet valve. In one example, the second water volume is twice the weight of the load.

[0085] In one embodiment, the control method for the laundry treatment apparatus can be applied not only to the main wash phase of a load. To improve the cleaning effect of a load with a large amount of stains, the control method can also be applied to the pre-treatment phase of the load. The pre-treatment phase is a pre-washing phase of the load. After the pre-washing phase is completed, the laundry treatment apparatus is controlled to enter the main wash phase.

[0086] Based on the above embodiments, in an application embodiment, the present application provides a control method for a clothes processing device, as shown in FIG8 , including the following steps:

[0087] S1, weighing the load, determining the amount of detergent to be added according to the weight of the load, and automatically adding the detergent in the amount to be added.

[0088] S2, after the detergent is added, the detergent addition pump is controlled to stop working, and the water inlet valve is controlled to allow water to flow through the atomization pipeline for adding the detergent solution, and the water inlet amount is twice the weight of the load.

[0089] In step S2, during the water intake process, the washing tub is controlled to rotate at a constant speed of 35 rpm to allow water to enter the washing tub. The washing tub rotates at a constant speed of 35 rpm for 20 seconds, then stops for 5 seconds, and then continues to rotate at a rate of 20 seconds and 5 seconds.

[0090] In an application embodiment, as shown in FIG9 , the above step S1 includes the following steps:

[0091] S11, determining a delivery level corresponding to the load according to the weight of the load, and determining a detergent that matches the delivery level.

[0092] S12, determining the single dosage and the number of times of the lotion to be dispensed.

[0093] S13, after the detergent dispensing pump extracts a single dose of detergent, water is introduced into the atomizing pipeline included in the dispensing component to utilize the water inlet pressure to mix the detergent and water to obtain a single dose of detergent solution.

[0094] S14, controlling the rotation of the washing tub. When the rotation speed of the washing tub is 35 revolutions per minute, the foam detergent solution is synchronously added into the washing tub based on the atomization pipeline.

[0095] Specifically, when the washing tub speed increases from zero to 35 rpm, the washing tub is maintained at a constant speed of 35 rpm, spraying the washing foam onto the load in the washing tub. The washing tub rotates at a constant speed of 35 rpm for 20 seconds, then stops for 5 seconds, and then continues to rotate in a rhythm of 20 seconds and 5 seconds.

[0096] S15, after each loading is completed, the washing tub is controlled to stand still or rotate for a preset soaking time so that the washing foam is evenly distributed on the load.

[0097] Specifically, controlling the washing tub to rotate for a preset soaking time includes: controlling the washing tub to rotate at a constant speed of 45 rpm for 20 seconds and then stopping for 5 seconds according to the preset soaking time, and then continuing to control the washing tub to rotate at a rhythm of rotating for 5 seconds and stopping for 5 seconds.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, the washing foam formed by mixing detergent and water is sprayed into the washing tub. The load surface directly contacts the relatively high concentration of foamy detergent solution, and the detergent foam forms a foam film in the inner tub, which helps prevent the foamy washing water from flowing out of the inner tub, thereby enhancing the washing effect on the clothes. By injecting water into the dispensing assembly that mixes and dispenses the detergent solution, it is helpful to flush out the detergent solution remaining in the mixing chamber, improving the cleanliness of the dispensing assembly. Furthermore, after the water is injected into the washing tub, the clothes can be fully moistened, improving the stain cleaning effect of the clothes.

[0099] According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a control device for a laundry processing device for implementing the control method of the laundry processing device is provided. As shown in FIG10 , the device includes:

[0100] The spray unit 1002 is used to deliver washing foam to the load in the laundry processing chamber;

The computer program is configured to execute the steps of any of the above-described method embodiments when executed.

[0133] Optionally, in this embodiment, the computer-readable storage medium may be configured to store a computer program for performing the following steps:

[0134] S1, adding washing foam to the load in the clothing processing chamber;

[0135] S2, determining to stop adding the washing foam, and controlling the clothes processing device to feed water into the clothes processing chamber.

[0136] Optionally, in this embodiment, a person of ordinary skill in the art may understand that all or part of the steps in the various methods of the above embodiments may be completed by instructing the hardware related to the terminal device through a program, and the program may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium, which may include: a flash drive, a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic disk or an optical disk, etc.

[0137] Optionally, an embodiment of the present application further provides a method for controlling a clothes processing device. Referring to FIG12 , the method includes the following steps:

[0138] S101 , executing a washing program, the washing program including a foam adding operation to a laundry processing chamber and a first washing operation, wherein the first washing operation includes an operation of driving the laundry processing chamber to rotate with a first washing parameter.

[0139] In an embodiment of the present application, the washing program includes an operation of adding foam to the clothing processing chamber and a first washing operation, wherein the first washing operation can be performed while the foam is added, or the first washing operation can be performed after a portion of the foam is added, or the first washing operation can be performed after the foam is added. The specific timing of the adding operation and the first washing operation can be customized according to actual needs.

[0140] In this embodiment, foam can be applied through a nozzle that sprays a foamy detergent solution to generate more foam. In another example, the nozzle can also spray a mist-like detergent solution, which, when sprayed onto the load, can also form foam, achieving the desired foam application effect. Spraying the mist-like or foam-like detergent solution onto the load can minimize the impact on already formed foam.

[0141] In this embodiment, the washing control method can be executed by a clothing processing device. The clothing processing device in this embodiment of the application can be a washing machine or a washer-dryer, such as a drum washing machine. A user places a load into a clothing processing chamber of the clothing processing device, such as a washing tub. The clothing processing device executes a default program or executes the aforementioned washing program after receiving a washing instruction submitted by a client or the user through the control panel of the clothing processing device.

[0142] The washing process of the present embodiment is executed in a stage where the amount of foam to be dispensed is determined based on the current load in the washing tub, foam is dispensed onto the load surface, and the rotation of the laundry treatment chamber is controlled to dissolve the stains on the load. The amount of foam can be determined based on the amount of detergent required for the load weight, and then based on the amount of detergent.

[0143] The washing process of the embodiment of the present application includes a foaming operation for injecting foam into the laundry treatment chamber and a first washing operation, which generates a large amount of foam. This large amount of foam can effectively protect the clothes. The large amount of foam has a large contact surface with the clothes, which accelerates the soaking of the clothes. The foam containing detergent is used to soak the clothes before the main wash, so that the detergent components in the foam can fully dissolve stains. In addition, the concentration of detergent that penetrates the interior of the loaded clothes during the initial foaming process is very high. Soaking the clothes in this high concentration of detergent can improve the cleaning effect.

[0144] In addition, when the nozzle sprays out a mist of detergent solution, the mist of detergent solution is sprayed on the load, causing the detergent solution to fall from top to bottom onto the load, and there is a force hitting the clothes. This force plus the impact force of the detergent solution on the stains helps to loosen and fall off the stains, which is beneficial to improving the ability to remove stains inside the load. When it hits the detergent solution already on the surface of the clothes, it can also form more foam on the surface of the clothes, which is more conducive to improving the ability to remove stains.

[0145] The first washing operation includes driving the clothing treatment chamber to rotate with a first washing parameter so that the movement of the foam in the clothing treatment chamber takes on a wave-like form with peaks and troughs. In this embodiment, the wave-like form refers to the phenomenon that the foam exhibits undulations due to the action of an external force. The wave-like movement of the foam refers to the shaking of the foam as the clothing treatment chamber rotates and as the foam collides with the inner wall of the clothing treatment chamber, forming a wave-like motion form with peaks and troughs. On the one hand, the foam moving in a wave-like form will produce more foam due to the oscillation and collision in the clothing treatment chamber. On the other hand, the wave-like foam can adhere to the surface of the clothing and wrap around the clothing, reducing the friction between the clothing and the washing tub. The fluidity of the wave-like foam can better loosen the stains on the clothing, further improving the decontamination effect. In addition, the user can see the wave-like foam through the visual window of the washing tub, which has a good visual effect, increases user satisfaction, and improves the user experience.

[0146] Figure 13 shows a schematic diagram of the wave-shaped foam provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 13, the clothing processing chamber 11 of the clothing processing device 10 rotates under the control of the motor of the clothing processing device 10, driving the load 12 to flip, and the foam 13 attached to the load 12 presents a wave shape as shown in Figure 13 as the clothing processing chamber 11 rotates.

[0147] It is understandable that the initial parameters of different clothing processing devices are different, and the parameters of different washing programs of the same clothing processing device may also be different. Therefore, in a specific example, the washing program of the washing control method provided in this embodiment also includes a second washing operation, and the second washing operation includes the operation of driving the clothing processing chamber to rotate with the second washing parameters.

[0148] In one example, the first washing operation may correspond to a pre-washing program of a clothing processing device, and the second washing operation may correspond to a main washing program of the clothing processing device. The pre-washing program may break down stains in advance, assist the main washing program in washing clothes, and improve the washing effect of clothes.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, the washing parameters include rotation rhythm and / or rotation speed and / or rotation angle. For example, the washing parameters include one of rotation rhythm, rotation speed or rotation angle, the washing parameters include rotation rhythm and rotation speed, the washing parameters include rotation rhythm and rotation angle, and the washing parameters include rotation rhythm, rotation speed and rotation angle.

[0150] Among them, the rotation beat includes the start-stop ratio of the motor, and the start-stop ratio includes the ratio of the motor rotation time to the stop time. Among them, the start-stop ratio can represent the rotation frequency of the motor. The smaller the start-stop ratio, the stronger the rotation beat, and the larger the start-stop ratio, the weaker the rotation beat.

[0151] The speed in the washing parameters refers to the motor speed, and the rotation angle refers to the deflection angle of the clothes processing chamber driven by the motor.

[0152] In one example, washing parameters may also include water intake, washing time, temperature, etc.

[0153] The washing parameters of the embodiment of the present application include rotation rhythm and / or rotation speed and / or rotation angle. Through the above washing parameters, the clothing processing chamber can be driven to rotate with different washing parameters, and different washing operations can be achieved by setting different first washing parameters and second washing parameters.

[0154] In an embodiment of the present application, the rotation-stop ratio corresponding to the rotation rhythm included in the first washing parameter is smaller than the rotation-stop ratio corresponding to the rotation rhythm included in the second washing parameter. Thus, the rotation rhythm of the first washing operation can be stronger than the rotation rhythm of the second washing operation. The first washing operation with a stronger rotation rhythm can accelerate the rotation and stop of the load along with the clothing processing chamber. The tumbling frequency of the load in the clothing processing chamber will increase, generating more foam, making the wave shape of the foam more obvious, and further helping to loosen stains on clothing and the contact between the detergent components in the detergent solution and the stains, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect. More foam can also help protect clothing and reduce clothing wear.

[0155] In an example, the rotation ratio corresponding to the rotation beat included in the first washing parameter can be 12 to 3, and the rotation ratio corresponding to the rotation beat included in the second washing parameter can be 25 to 3, that is, within one rotation beat, the motor corresponding to the first washing parameter rotates for 12s and stops for 3s, and the motor corresponding to the second washing parameter rotates for 25s and stops for 3s.

[0156] It is understood that the second wash operation corresponds to the main wash phase, which uses a relatively large amount of water. To increase the impact of the water flow on the load, the laundry treatment device has a higher rotational speed. The first wash operation corresponds to the pre-wash phase, which uses less water than the main wash phase. Using a high rotational speed can cause the laundry to stick to the wall, resulting in greater friction between the laundry and the inner wall of the laundry treatment chamber, which is not conducive to dirt removal. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the rotational speed included in the first wash parameter is less than or equal to the rotational speed included in the second wash parameter. This allows the laundry treatment chamber to have a lower rotational speed than the main wash, which can drive the load to tumble. On the one hand, the tumbling laundry collides with the inner wall of the laundry treatment chamber, creating a tumbling force that helps loosen stains on the laundry and allows the detergent ingredients to come into contact with the stains, facilitating the loosening of stains and improving dirt removal. On the other hand, the tumbling of the laundry allows the foam containing the detergent ingredients to be applied to multiple surfaces of the laundry, making the foam more uniform and helping to clean the laundry comprehensively. Furthermore, the tumbling allows the foam on the surface of the laundry in the laundry treatment chamber to flow more easily, which can better form a wave pattern. In addition, when the released foam hits the surface of the loaded clothes or the inner wall of the clothing processing chamber during the tumbling process, it stimulates the detergent ingredients to produce more foam, making the foam richer, which further helps to protect the clothes.

[0157] In an example, the rotation speed included in the first washing parameter may be 35 rpm or 45 rpm, and the rotation speed included in the second washing parameter may be 45 rpm or 87 rpm, etc.

[0158] In an embodiment of the present application, the rotation angle included in the first washing parameter is smaller than the rotation angle included in the second washing parameter. In one example, the rotation angle included in the second washing parameter may be 360 ​​degrees, which allows the clothes to be fully turned as the clothes processing chamber rotates during the main washing phase, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect. The rotation angle included in the first washing parameter may be 120 degrees, which allows the foam released during the dispensing operation to be evenly spread on the clothes, allowing the detergent components in the foam to be fully integrated into all parts of the clothes, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0159] In the embodiment of the present application, the first washing parameter includes a rotation speed greater than or equal to 30 rpm and less than or equal to 45 rpm. For example, the rotation speed included in the first washing parameter may be 30 rpm, 35 rpm, 40 rpm, 45 rpm, etc. This can not only make the movement of the foam in the laundry processing chamber take on a wave-like pattern with peaks and troughs, thereby generating more foam, but also prevent the clothes from sticking to the wall, causing the clothes to roll in the laundry processing chamber.

[0160] In one example, the rotation rhythm of the first washing parameter includes a rotation-stop ratio ranging from 2:1 to 5:1. For example, the rotation rhythm of the first washing parameter includes rotation for 10 seconds and stop for 5 seconds, rotation for 12 seconds and stop for 5 seconds, rotation for 9 seconds and stop for 3 seconds, rotation for 12 seconds and stop for 3 seconds, rotation for 10 seconds and stop for 3 seconds, rotation for 11 seconds and stop for 3 seconds, rotation for 10 seconds and stop for 2 seconds, etc.

[0161] The above-mentioned start-stop ratio of the rotation rhythm of the first washing parameter can be combined with any rotation speed of the first washing parameter to meet the different needs of users. For example, the rotation speed of the first washing parameter is 30 rpm, and the start-stop ratio of the rotation rhythm of the first washing parameter is 2:1, or the rotation speed of the first washing parameter is 30 rpm, and the start-stop ratio of the rotation rhythm of the first washing parameter is 3:1, or the rotation speed of the first washing parameter is 40 rpm, and the start-stop ratio of the rotation rhythm of the first washing parameter is 2:1. The specific parameter values ​​can be stored in the clothing processing device through a preset program.

[0162] In a specific example, the first washing parameters include a rotation speed of 35 rpm, a rotation rhythm of 12 seconds rotation and 3 seconds stop, and a rotation angle of 120 degrees; the second washing parameters include a rotation speed of 87 rpm, a rotation rhythm of 25 seconds rotation and 5 seconds stop, and a rotation angle of 360 degrees.

[0163] In an embodiment of the present application, the operation of adding foam to the clothing processing chamber includes: driving the clothing processing chamber to rotate with a first washing parameter, and adding foam to the clothing processing chamber when the rotation speed of the clothing processing chamber reaches a preset rotation speed.

[0164] It is understandable that it takes a certain amount of time for the laundry processing chamber to start up and reach a constant speed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the preset speed is the speed included in the first washing parameter. For example, if the speed included in the first washing parameter is 45 rpm, foam is added to the laundry processing chamber when the speed of the laundry processing chamber reaches 45 rpm. In this way, foam can be added to the laundry processing chamber while the speed of the laundry processing chamber is constant, so that the added foam is more evenly distributed on the clothes.

[0165] In an optional embodiment, the foam addition into the clothes processing chamber may also begin when the clothes processing chamber starts to rotate, thereby reducing the time required for the addition operation.

[0166] Driving the laundry processing chamber to rotate according to the first washing parameter includes driving the laundry processing chamber to rotate unidirectionally according to the first washing parameter. As shown in FIG13 , the laundry processing chamber is driven to rotate unidirectionally in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG13 according to the first washing parameter. In this way, when the load rotates to the highest point, it will flip and fall due to gravity, and with the second rotation of the laundry processing chamber, it will reach the highest point again and flip and fall again. This process is repeated to achieve flipping of the load, so that the released foam is evenly attached to the load, achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0167] In addition, the unidirectional rotation of the clothing processing chamber can make the wave-shaped foam fluctuate evenly along the rotation direction of the clothing processing chamber, making the generated peaks and troughs more obvious, increasing the visual effect and improving the user experience.

[0168] In an embodiment of the present application, the operation of adding foam to the clothing processing chamber includes: adding foam to the clothing processing chamber, and driving the clothing processing chamber to rotate with a first washing parameter at the same time, so that the added foam can be dispersed more evenly on the clothes, and the foam added to the clothing processing chamber can rotate as the clothing processing chamber rotates, thereby generating more foam.

[0169] Driving the laundry processing chamber to rotate according to the first washing parameter includes driving the laundry processing chamber to rotate unidirectionally according to the first washing parameter. In this way, the load can be flipped, so that the added foam is evenly attached to the load, achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0170] The above-mentioned washing program is a control method executed when foam is added once and the first washing operation is performed in the pre-washing stage. When the load is large and foam needs to be added multiple times, the washing control method in the embodiment of the present application also includes: executing the above-mentioned washing program multiple times.

[0171] In one example, the number of times the washing program is executed can be determined based on the load. For example, a memory of the laundry processing device stores a one-to-one correspondence between the load and the amount of detergent, and each unit of detergent also has a one-to-one correspondence with the amount of dissolved water required. The amount of detergent required for the load in the laundry processing chamber and the amount of dissolved water required for the detergent are then mixed to obtain a target amount of detergent solution. The number of times the washing program is executed is then determined based on the target amount of detergent solution and the maximum amount of detergent solution dispensed each time by the laundry processing device. Each time the detergent solution is dispensed, a corresponding amount of foam obtained based on the detergent solution to be dispensed is dispensed to perform the pre-wash operation. The washing program is then executed multiple times based on the load to dispense the foam required for the load, thereby improving the decontamination effect.

[0172] The above is a washing control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method controls a clothing treatment device to execute at least one washing program, wherein the washing program includes a foam delivery operation for delivering foam into the clothing treatment chamber and a first washing operation, thereby generating a large amount of foam. The large amount of foam can have a good care effect on the clothing, and the large amount of foam has a large contact surface with the clothing, accelerating the soaking of the clothing. The foam containing detergent is used to soak the clothing before the main wash, so that the detergent components in the foam fully dissolve the stains. Among them, the first washing operation includes an operation of driving the clothing treatment chamber to rotate according to a first washing parameter, so that the movement of the foam in the clothing treatment chamber is in a wave shape with peaks and troughs. The wavy foam can adhere to the surface of the clothing and wrap the clothing, reducing friction between the clothing and the washing tub. The wavy foam has fluidity and can better loosen stains on the clothing, further improving the decontamination effect. The user can see the wavy foam through the viewing window of the washing tub, which has a good visual effect, increases user satisfaction, and improves the user experience.

[0173] The embodiment of the present application further provides a control device 300 for a clothes processing device, which is used to execute the control method for a clothes processing device provided in any of the above embodiments. As shown in FIG14 , the device includes:

[0174] The execution unit 301 is used to execute a washing program, which includes an operation of adding foam to the clothing processing chamber and a first washing operation, wherein the first washing operation includes an operation of driving the clothing processing chamber to rotate with a first washing parameter so that the movement of the foam in the clothing processing chamber is in a wave form with peaks and troughs.

[0175] The execution unit 301 is further configured to execute a second washing operation, where the second washing operation includes driving the laundry processing chamber to rotate according to a second washing parameter.

[0176] The execution unit 301 is also used to drive the clothing processing chamber to rotate with the first washing parameter, and to add foam to the clothing processing chamber when the rotation speed of the clothing processing chamber reaches a preset rotation speed; wherein, driving the clothing processing chamber to rotate with the first washing parameter includes driving the clothing processing chamber to rotate unidirectionally with the first washing parameter.

[0177] The execution unit 301 is further used to add foam to the clothing processing chamber and drive the clothing processing chamber to rotate with the first washing parameter; wherein, driving the clothing processing chamber to rotate with the first washing parameter includes driving the clothing processing chamber to rotate unidirectionally with the first washing parameter.

[0178] The above is a washing control device provided by an embodiment of the present application. By executing a washing program, a large amount of foam can be generated. This large amount of foam can provide excellent care for clothing. The large amount of foam has a large contact surface with the clothing, accelerating the soaking of the clothing. The foam containing detergent is used to soak the clothing before the main wash, allowing the detergent components in the foam to fully dissolve stains. The foam can also generate wavy foam. The fluidity of the wavy foam can better loosen stains on clothing, further improving the cleaning effect. The user can see the wavy foam through the viewing window of the washing tub, creating a good visual effect, increasing user satisfaction, and enhancing the user experience.
