The invention relates to the household electrical appliance field and particularly relates to a household electrical appliance detection protection method, an intelligent socket for household electrical appliances and a washing
machine. The method comprises steps that, S10, a
voltage value and a current value of a household electrical appliance are detected by a line detection device in real time, and a power is calculated according to the
voltage value and the current value; S20, when the household electrical appliance starts, a power curve is drafted by a controller and is further stored, the acquire power curve is matched with a characteristic power curve stored in a
database through searching, if matching succeeds, and the type of the household electrical appliance is set to be a household electrical appliance type corresponding to the characteristic curve; and S30, the intelligent socket is set to be in a corresponding work mode according to the household electrical appliance type, when the
voltage value Ut, the current value It and / or a real-time power Pt are not in a preset safety scope corresponding to the set work mode,
electrical protection for the household electrical appliance is carried out by the intelligent socket. Through the method, the type of the household electrical appliance can be automatically identified, and corresponding detection control strategy is adopted according to the type of the household electrical appliance.
