The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment". The term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment". The term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments". Related definitions of other terms will be given in the description below. It should be noted that the concepts of "first", "second", etc. mentioned in the present disclosure are only used to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not intended to limit the order or interdependence of the processes performed by these devices, modules or units.

[0042] It should be noted that the modification of "one" or "multiple" mentioned in the present disclosure is illustrative rather than limiting, and those skilled in the art should understand that unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, it should be understood as "one or more".

[0043] The laundry treatment apparatus dispensing control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is that the detergent solution passing through the first waterway and the washing medium passing through the second waterway converge into the liquid outlet waterway, which is equivalent to the mixed solution mixed with the detergent in the first waterway and the washing medium in the second waterway being mixed again, which is conducive to the full dispersion and dissolution of the detergent solution in the washing medium. The fully dispersed and dissolved detergent solution is dispensed into the laundry treatment cavity through the liquid outlet waterway, which is conducive to the full contact of the fully dispersed detergent solution with the laundry, and can improve the utilization rate of the detergent and the cleaning effect of the laundry. In addition, a turbulence structure can be provided in the second waterway. When the washing medium such as water flow in the second waterway passes through the turbulence structure, the turbulence structure can provide the second waterway with a high-pressure water flow and a circumferential motion component. When the high-pressure water flow reaches the detergent solution in the first waterway, it can drive the detergent solution to form a conical scattering water flow, for example. Then, a conical scattering water flow with foam can be formed to enter the laundry treatment cavity and contact the laundry, so as to realize the full contact of the detergent solution with the laundry and improve the cleaning effect of the laundry.

[0044] The laundry treating apparatus, the laundry treating apparatus dispensing control method, the computer readable storage medium, and the laundry treating apparatus provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the drawings.

[0045] FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a laundry treating apparatus dispensing control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applicable to a scenario in which laundry in a laundry treating apparatus needs to be washed. The method can be performed by a laundry treating apparatus dispensing control device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The laundry treating apparatus dispensing control device can be implemented in software and / or hardware. As shown in FIG. 1, the laundry treating apparatus dispensing control method includes the following steps.

[0046] In at least part of the detergent dispensing stage, the detergent solution is controlled to flow through the first water path, and the washing medium is controlled to flow through the second water path to converge at the liquid outlet water path and be dispensed into the laundry treating cavity.

[0047] The laundry treating apparatus includes a dispensing assembly, which includes a first water path for dispensing a detergent solution, a second water path for dispensing a washing medium, and a liquid outlet water path in communication with the first water path and the second water path. The washing medium can include water and other fluids used for washing, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0048] Specifically, when the load, for example, laundry needs to be washed, the detergent dispensing stage is entered. In at least part of the detergent dispensing stage, the detergent solution is controlled to flow through the first water path, and the washing medium is controlled to flow through the second water path to converge at the liquid outlet water path and be dispensed into the laundry treating cavity.

[0049] When the detergent solution of the first water path converges with the washing medium of the second water path at the liquid outlet water path, it is equivalent to the mixed liquid mixed with the detergent in the first water path mixing with the washing medium of the second water path again, which is beneficial to the full dispersion and dissolution of the detergent solution in the washing medium. After the full dispersion and dissolution of the detergent solution, the full dispersion and dissolution of the detergent solution is dispensed into the laundry treating cavity by the liquid outlet water path, which is beneficial to the full contact of the full dispersion and dissolution of the detergent solution with the laundry, and can improve the utilization rate of the detergent and the cleaning effect of the laundry, thereby improving the user experience.

[0050] Exemplarily, Fig. 2 is a schematic view of a dispensing assembly of a laundry treatment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 2, the dispensing assembly comprises a first water path, which comprises a first pipe 41 and a second pipe 42. One end of the first pipe 41 is connected to the water inlet valve 90 to introduce water from a water source, and the other end of the first pipe 41 is connected to a water inlet of the detergent dispensing device 30 to guide the water flow to a first detergent dispensing slot. One end of the second pipe 42 is connected to a water outlet of the detergent dispensing device 30, and the other end of the second pipe 42 is directly or indirectly connected to the liquid outlet water path 20, for example, through the first joint pipe 23, to guide the water flow discharged from the water outlet of the detergent dispensing device 30 to the liquid outlet water path 20. The space in the first pipe 41, the space in the second pipe 42, and part of the space in the detergent dispensing device 30 together constitute at least part of the first water path.

[0051] Continuing as shown in Fig. 2, the dispensing assembly comprises a second water path, which comprises a third pipe 50. One end of the third pipe 50 is connected to the water inlet valve 90 to introduce water from a water source, and the other end of the third pipe 50 is directly or indirectly connected to the liquid outlet water path 20, for example, through the second joint pipe 24, to guide the water source to the liquid outlet water path 20. The space in the third pipe 50 can independently define the second water path, or the space in the third pipe 50 defines part of the second water path.

[0052] Thus, through the dispensing assembly of Fig. 2, the detergent solution can be guided through the first water path, and the washing medium can be guided through the second water path to converge at the liquid outlet water path and be dispensed into the laundry treatment cavity.

[0053] It should be noted that, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, during at least part of the detergent dispensing stage, for example, during the early stage of the detergent dispensing stage, the detergent solution is guided through the first water path, and the washing medium is guided through the second water path to converge at the liquid outlet water path and be dispensed into the laundry treatment cavity. Thus, the detergent solution in the liquid outlet water path can be fully dispersed and dissolved in the washing medium, and then the fully dispersed and dissolved detergent solution is dispensed into the laundry treatment cavity from the liquid outlet water path, which is beneficial to the full contact between the fully dispersed and dissolved detergent solution and the laundry, and can improve the utilization rate of the detergent and the cleaning effect of the laundry, thereby improving the user experience.

[0054] Exemplarily, the detergent solution can be guided through the first water path, and the washing medium can be guided through the second water path to converge at the liquid outlet water path and be dispensed into the laundry treatment cavity during the entire process of the detergent dispensing stage, i.e., from the beginning of the detergent dispensing to the end of the detergent dispensing. Thus, the detergent solution in the liquid outlet water path can be fully dispersed and dissolved in the washing medium during the entire process of the detergent dispensing stage, and then the fully dispersed and dissolved detergent solution is dispensed into the laundry treatment cavity from the liquid outlet water path, which is beneficial to the full contact between the fully dispersed and dissolved detergent solution and the laundry, and can improve the utilization rate of the detergent and the cleaning effect of the laundry, thereby improving the user experience.

[0055] The dispensing control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes: in at least part of the detergent dispensing stage, controlling the detergent solution to pass through the first water path, and controlling the washing medium to pass through the second water path to converge to the liquid outlet water path and be dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity. In this way, the detergent solution passing through the first water path converges with the washing medium passing through the second water path to the liquid outlet water path, which is equivalent to the mixed solution mixed with the detergent in the first water path mixing with the washing medium in the second water path again, which is beneficial to the full dispersion and dissolution of the detergent solution in the washing medium in the liquid outlet water path. After the full dispersion and dissolution of the detergent solution, the detergent solution is dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity through the liquid outlet water path, which is beneficial to the full contact of the full dispersion and dissolution of the detergent solution with the clothes, and can improve the utilization rate of the detergent and the cleaning effect of the clothes, thereby improving the user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments, the second water path includes a turbulence structure, and the washing medium in the second water path flows to the liquid outlet water path through the turbulence structure.

[0057] Specifically, by arranging the turbulence structure in the second water path, when the washing medium such as water flow in the second water path passes through the turbulence structure, the turbulence structure can provide the second water path with a high-pressure water flow and a circumferential motion component. When the high-pressure water flow flows to the liquid outlet water path, it can drive the detergent solution in the first water path to form a conical scattering water flow, and then a conical scattering water flow with foam can enter the clothes treatment cavity and contact the clothes, thereby realizing the full contact of the detergent solution with the clothes and improving the cleaning effect of the clothes.

[0058] For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the turbulence structure (not shown in FIG. 2) can be arranged between the second water path and the liquid outlet water path 20. The turbulence structure can be a spiral blade or other turbulence device. When the water flow passes through the turbulence structure, a circumferential velocity component is generated, and the water flow speed is improved. After the detergent solution in the first water path and the washing medium in the second water path are mixed in the liquid outlet water path 20, the water flow sprayed from the liquid outlet water path 20 can be a high-pressure conical scattering water flow with foam, which enters the clothes treatment cavity and contacts the clothes, thereby realizing the full contact of the detergent with the clothes.

[0059] In this way, when the washing medium such as water flow in the second water path passes through the turbulence structure, the turbulence structure can improve the flow rate of the water flow in the second water path. After the water flow in the second water path and the detergent solution in the first water path are mixed, a high-pressure water flow with foam can enter the clothes treatment cavity and contact the clothes, thereby realizing the full contact of the detergent with the clothes and improving the cleaning effect of the clothes.

[0060] In some embodiments, the dispensing control method of the clothes treatment apparatus further includes:

[0061] During at least part of the detergent dispensing stage, the second water path is closed, and the detergent solution is controlled to flow through the first water path to the liquid outlet water path and be dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity.

[0062] Specifically, during at least part of the dispensing stage, for example, during the later stage of the detergent dispensing, the second water path is closed, and the first water path is controlled to be open, so that the detergent solution flows through the first water path to the liquid outlet water path and is dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity.

[0063] Subsequently, during the water inlet stage, the first water path can also be controlled to be open, and water is supplied to the clothes treatment cavity through the first water path, and the detergent solution in the first water path can be flushed into the clothes treatment cavity.

[0064] In some embodiments, a valve structure is arranged in the first water path and / or the second water path.

[0065] The control of the detergent solution flowing through the first water path and the control of the washing medium flowing through the second water path to converge to the liquid outlet water path and be dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity include:

[0066] The valve structure of the first water path and / or the second water path is controlled to be open, and the first water path and the second water path are controlled to be open, so that the detergent solution flows through the first water path, and the washing medium flows through the second water path to converge to the liquid outlet water path and be dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity.

[0067] Specifically, a valve structure can be arranged in the first water path, and the valve structure is controlled to control the opening and closing of the first water path. In addition, a valve structure is arranged in the second water path, and the valve structure is controlled to control the opening and closing of the second water path. Therefore, when the first water path and the second water path are connected to the water source, the valve structures in the first water path and the second water path are opened at the same time, and the first water path and the second water path are simultaneously controlled to be open, so that the detergent solution flows through the first water path, and the washing medium flows through the second water path to converge to the liquid outlet water path and be dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity.

[0068] The valve structure can be a water valve, a solenoid valve, or a one-way valve, for example, to control the opening and closing of the first water path and the opening and closing of the second water path. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this regard.

[0069] In some embodiments, after the control of the detergent solution flowing through the first water path and the control of the washing medium flowing through the second water path to converge to the liquid outlet water path and be dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity during at least part of the detergent dispensing stage, the method further includes:

[0070] When the set water level is reached, the first water path and the second water path are controlled to be closed, and the washing operation is performed.

[0071] Specifically, during the water injection stage, the water level in the laundry treatment cavity can be detected in real time by, for example, a water level sensor, and when the water level in the laundry treatment cavity reaches the set water level, the water injection stage is determined to be completed, and water injection into the laundry treatment cavity is stopped, i.e., the first water path is closed, and the laundry treatment apparatus controls the laundry in the laundry treatment cavity to be washed.

[0072] In some embodiments, the dispensing control method of the laundry treatment apparatus further includes:

[0073] determining that the preset washing condition is met, controlling the first water path to be closed, and controlling the second water path to be conducted to dispense the washing medium into the load in the laundry treatment cavity.

[0074] The preset washing condition may, for example, be that the washing time reaches a preset time, and the stains on the laundry begin to loosen when the washing time reaches the preset time.

[0075] Specifically, in combination with the above embodiments, during the execution of the washing operation by the laundry treatment apparatus, if it is determined that the preset washing condition, for example, the washing time reaches the preset time, and the stains on the laundry begin to loosen. At this time, the washing medium, for example, the water flow, can be dispensed into the laundry treatment cavity through the second water path. Since the second water path does not pass through the detergent dispensing device, the second water path can basically maintain the original pressure water flow. Compared with the first water path, the water pressure is larger when the water flow is dispensed into the laundry treatment cavity through the second water path, and a larger high-pressure water flow can be formed. The use of a larger high-pressure water flow can scrub the loosened stains on the laundry, thereby achieving the effect of peeling the stains from the laundry.

[0076] In addition, since the turbulence structure can be arranged in the second water path, at this time, the water flow is dispensed into the laundry treatment cavity through the second water path, and the turbulence structure of the second water path generates a circumferential velocity component to increase the water flow speed, and a high-pressure conical scattering water flow can be formed in the liquid outlet water path. The high-pressure conical scattering water flow flowing into the laundry treatment cavity can scrub the loosened stains on the laundry, and the effect of peeling the stains from the laundry can be further achieved.

[0077] In some embodiments, the dispensing control method of the laundry treatment apparatus further includes:

[0078] During at least part of the detergent dispensing stage and / or when it is determined that the preset washing condition is met, the laundry treatment cavity is controlled to rotate.

[0079] Specifically, during the process of controlling the detergent solution to flow through the first water path and the washing medium to flow through the second water path to converge at the liquid outlet water path and to be dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity, the clothes treatment cavity can be controlled to rotate. Since the clothes treatment cavity is in the process of rotating, the detergent solution can be uniformly sprayed on the clothes, so that the detergent can be fully contacted with the clothes, and the utilization rate of the detergent and the cleaning effect of the clothes can be improved.

[0080] Specifically, during the process of controlling the water flow to flow through the second water path to be dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity after it is determined that the preset washing condition is met, the clothes treatment cavity can be controlled to rotate. During the process of rotating the clothes treatment cavity, the clothes in the clothes treatment cavity rotate with the clothes treatment cavity, so that the high-pressure water flow flowing into the clothes treatment cavity through the second water path can be used to wash the clothes from various angles, which is beneficial to improve the effect of peeling off stains from the clothes.

[0081] In some embodiments, during the process of controlling the first water path to be closed and the water flow to flow through the turbulence structure of the second water path to be dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity, the rotating speed of the clothes treatment cavity is greater than the rotating speed of the clothes treatment cavity in the washing operation, so that the load falling position after the preset washing condition is met passes through the dispensing opening of the dispensing assembly.

[0082] Specifically, in combination with the above-mentioned embodiments, during the process of controlling the water flow to flow through the turbulence structure of the second water path to be dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity after it is determined that the preset washing condition is met, the clothes treatment cavity can be controlled to rotate. During the process of rotating the clothes treatment cavity, the rotating speed of the clothes treatment cavity can be controlled to be greater than the rotating speed of the clothes treatment cavity in the washing operation. The above-mentioned control of the rotating speed of the clothes treatment cavity to be greater than the rotating speed of the clothes treatment cavity in the washing operation is beneficial to realize that the load falling position after the preset washing condition is met passes through the dispensing opening of the dispensing assembly, and is beneficial to realize that the water flow sprayed from the dispensing opening washes the side of the clothes close to the inner cavity wall, and is further beneficial to improve the cleaning effect of the clothes. Exemplarily, the dispensing opening can be understood as the water outlet of the liquid outlet water path 20 in FIG. 2.

[0083] Exemplarily, FIG. 3 is a comparison schematic diagram of the load falling position after the preset washing condition is met and the load falling position in the washing operation provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the A position of the clothes treatment cavity is the dispensing opening. After the preset washing condition is met, the clothes treatment cavity is controlled to rotate, and the clothes in the clothes treatment cavity fall after rotating, for example, from the B position to the C position close to the inner cavity wall, and the C position is the load falling position after the preset washing condition is met. During the process of rotating the clothes from the B position to the C position, the clothes can pass through the A position, that is, the dispensing opening of the dispensing assembly, which is beneficial to realize that the water flow sprayed from the dispensing opening washes the side of the clothes close to the inner cavity wall, and is beneficial to improve the cleaning effect of the clothes.

[0084] Continuing as shown in FIG. 3, when the laundry treatment cavity rotates in the washing operation, the laundry in the laundry treatment cavity falls after being rotated against the inner cavity wall, for example, from the B position to the D position, which is the load falling position in the washing operation. In the process of rotating the laundry from the B position to the D position, the water flow sprayed from the dropping port only washes the side of the laundry away from the inner cavity wall, and cannot achieve the washing of the side of the laundry facing the inner cavity wall by the water flow sprayed from the dropping port.

[0085] In some embodiments, before controlling the first waterway to be closed and the second waterway to be conducted to drop the washing medium into the load in the laundry treatment cavity, the following is included:

[0086] Performing a draining operation.

[0087] Specifically, in combination with the above-mentioned embodiments, after determining that the preset washing condition is met, before controlling the water flow to be dropped into the laundry treatment cavity through the second waterway, the laundry treatment apparatus can be controlled to perform a draining operation.

[0088] By draining the washing water of the laundry treatment cavity first, and then controlling the water flow to be dropped into the laundry treatment cavity through the second waterway, since the washing water of the laundry treatment cavity is drained first, the amount of water in the laundry treatment cavity is reduced, and the rotation of the laundry treatment cavity is beneficial to reduce the power consumption of the motor.

[0089] In some embodiments, the laundry treatment apparatus can also be controlled not to perform a draining operation, that is, after determining that the preset washing condition is met, the water flow is directly controlled to be dropped into the laundry treatment cavity through the second waterway, and the original water flow in the laundry treatment cavity and the water flow dropped through the second waterway can be used to wash the laundry together, which is beneficial to improve the washing effect.

[0090] In some embodiments, the dropping control method of the laundry treatment apparatus further includes:

[0091] In the rinsing stage, the second waterway is controlled to be closed, and the washing medium is controlled to be dropped into the laundry treatment cavity through the first waterway; or the first waterway is controlled to be closed, and the washing medium is controlled to be dropped into the laundry treatment cavity through the second waterway.

[0092] Specifically, in the rinsing stage, the water flow can be controlled to be dropped into the laundry treatment cavity only through the first waterway, or the water flow can be controlled to be dropped into the laundry treatment cavity only through the second waterway. Among them, since the second waterway can be provided with a turbulence structure, when the water flow is dropped into the laundry treatment cavity through the turbulence structure of the second waterway, the turbulence structure of the second waterway is used to generate a circumferential velocity component to improve the water flow speed, so that the second waterway drops into the laundry treatment cavity to form a high-pressure conical scattering water flow, which is beneficial to achieve a better washing effect.

[0093] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, Fig. 4 exemplarily shows a specific flowchart of a dispensing control method of a laundry treatment apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 4, the method comprises the following steps:

[0094] S401, starting a washing program.

[0095] S402, turning on the first waterway and the second waterway.

[0096] S403, determining whether the dispensing of the detergent is finished. If yes, S404 is executed; if no, S402 is executed.

[0097] S404, turning on the first waterway and turning off the second waterway.

[0098] S405, detecting whether the laundry treatment cavity reaches a set water level. If yes, S406 is executed; if no, S404 is executed.

[0099] S406, turning off the first waterway and the second waterway.

[0100] S407, executing a washing operation.

[0101] S408, determining that a preset washing condition is met, turning off the first waterway and turning on the second waterway.
