In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to prevent the laundry in the inner drum 103 from being overweight and affecting the washing effect, the weight sensor 201 can measure the total weight of the placed laundry, so as to effectively avoid the overweight condition.
For example, the preset weight of the washing machine is 5kg, the weight of one piece of sweater is 500g, and when 10 pieces of sweater are placed, the preset weight of the washing machine is reached, and it is determined that washing of the laundry is started.
In detail, with respect to the above-described mode 3:
in one embodiment of the present invention, when the processor 105 is afraid of the floor heating when the laundry placement situation in the current washing machine is a combination of mode 1 and mode 2, it is determined to start washing.
For example, the preset maximum number of the clothes to be washed of the washing machine is 10, and the preset maximum weight of the clothes to be washed is 5 kg; four pieces of overcoat clothes having a weight of 1.25kg were placed in the washing machine, and although the number of pieces of the overcoat clothes was recorded as 4 at this time, the maximum weight preset in the washing machine was reached, and it was determined that washing was started.

Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 3, the washing machine further includes: a second memory 301;
the second memory 301 is used for storing at least two pigment value intervals;
the camera module 104 is used for shooting a third image of the clothes grabbed by the mechanical arm 106 and sending the shot third image to the processor 105;
a processor 105 for determining whether a pigment value interval is currently recorded; when a pigment value interval is recorded currently and a first image analysis result indicates that at least one piece of clothes is placed in a first area of the clothes placement area, controlling the mechanical arm 106 to grab the piece of clothes placed in the first area, wherein the first area corresponds to the currently recorded pigment value interval; when the pigment value interval is not recorded at present and the first image analysis result indicates that at least one piece of clothes is placed in the clothes placing area, controlling the mechanical arm 106 to grab the piece of clothes placed in the clothes placing area; controlling the camera module 105 to shoot a third image; receiving a third image sent by the camera module 105; analyzing the currently received third image to obtain a pigment value of the clothes currently grabbed by the mechanical arm 106; determining a target pigment value interval to which the obtained pigment value belongs; when the pigment value interval is recorded, judging whether the target pigment value interval is the same as the recorded pigment value interval or not, if so, controlling the mechanical arm 105 to place the grabbed clothes in the inner drum 103, otherwise, controlling the mechanical arm 106 to place the grabbed clothes in a second area in the clothes placement area, wherein the second area corresponds to the target pigment value interval; when the pigment value interval is not recorded at present, the mechanical arm 106 is controlled to place the grabbed clothes in the inner drum 103, and the target pigment value interval is recorded; when it is determined that the laundry is started to be washed, the recorded pigment value section is cleared.
For example, the second memory 301 is used for storing at least two pigment value intervals, the first interval corresponding to a light color, and the second interval corresponding to a dark color; when the processor 105 judges that clothes exist in the clothes placing area, the mechanical arm 106 is controlled to capture the clothes and the camera module 104 is controlled to shoot a third image of the clothes, the processor 105 analyzes the third image, and judges that the pigment value of the clothes corresponding to the third image belongs to a dark color area or a light color area, for example, the dark color area is recorded according to the pigment values corresponding to the dark color area and the light color area in the second memory. When the mechanical arm 106 grabs and takes off a piece of clothes, the processor 105 judges whether the piece of clothes belongs to the recorded dark color interval, if so, the mechanical arm 106 is controlled to place the piece of clothes into the inner drum 103, and if the piece of clothes belongs to the light color interval, the piece of clothes is placed in a second area of the clothes placing area, and the second area is used for placing the piece of clothes belonging to the light color interval. When the clothes are determined to be cleaned, all recorded pigment value intervals are cleared, so that the actual pigment value intervals of the clothes can be judged again when the clothes are cleaned next time, and the phenomenon of wrong classification is avoided.
For example, if there is a dark color clothes in the inner drum 103, the dark color clothes in the drum is determined according to the recorded color value interval, when the next clothes is expanded and the second image is taken to determine the color value, if the color value corresponds to the dark color interval, it is determined that the color value and the clothes in the drum belong to one interval, and the clothes in the drum are placed in the drum; if the pigment value of the color-changing paper corresponds to the light color interval, the color-changing paper is judged to be not in the same interval with the clothes in the drum, and the color-changing paper is placed in a second area of the clothes placing area.
For another example, if there is no clothes in the inner drum 103, there is no recorded color value section currently, when the mechanical arm 106 expands the first clothes to be placed, it determines that the color value section corresponds to the dark color section by taking the second image thereof, and places the color value section into the drum and records the dark color section, and then processes the clothes according to the method of the clothes existing in the washing machine.
When the length of the mechanical arm is fixed, in different practical application scenes, the mechanical arm may not be guaranteed to be capable of directly grabbing all clothes in the clothes placing area. Therefore, a scheme in which the washing machine can be moved can be designed.
