This invention provides a drain pump control method, control device, washing equipment, memory, and processor. The drain pump control method includes: determining the total effective
drainage time of the
dehydration stage, wherein the
dehydration stage includes a pre-
dehydration stage and a main dehydration stage, and the main dehydration stage includes multiple different speed sub-stages; controlling the drain pump to operate according to a preset drainage
rhythm during the pre-dehydration stage, wherein the drainage
rhythm includes the ratio of the drain pump's on time to its
off time per unit cycle; determining the current speed sub-stage based on the current speed gear during the main dehydration stage, determining the drainage
rhythm of the current speed sub-stage based on the current speed sub-stage, the total effective
drainage time, and the preset total dehydration time, and controlling the drain pump to operate according to the current drainage rhythm. In this invention, the drain pump starts and stops according to the drainage rhythm, which can be dynamically adjusted according to actual conditions to meet drainage needs and reduce the
noise of the drain pump operation.
