Control method for supplementing clothes treating agent to washing machine
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of washing machines, and particularly relates to a control method for supplementing a laundry treating agent to a washing machine.
Background
The detergent feeding mode of the existing washing machine is roughly divided into two major types, one is an automatic feeding mode, an automatic feeding device of the clothes treating agent is arranged in the washing machine, and a control system of the washing machine controls the feeding amount of the clothes treating agent into the washing machine through a program according to the clothes treating process; the other mode is a manual adding mode, and a user estimates the using amount of the clothes treating agent according to the dirt degree and the amount of the clothes, and the clothes treating agent is added into the washing machine in the manual adding mode. For the automatic feeding mode, the operation is convenient, manual operation is not needed, the feeding precision of the clothes treating agent is improved, but the cost of the washing machine with the automatic feeding function is high generally, and the manual adding mode is still popular with users due to low cost, but the manual adding mode is easy to have errors, the clothes are different in dirt degree, and the amount of the used washing agent is greatly different according to personal washing habits. After the water is fed into the washing machine, when a user finds that the addition of the clothes treating agent is insufficient or even forgets to add the clothes treating agent, the user can only manually supplement water into the detergent box to flush the clothes treating agent into the washing machine after the clothes treating agent is added into the detergent box because the water feeding of the washing machine is finished when the user finds that the clothes treating agent needs to be supplemented, so that inconvenience is brought to the user, and the use experience of the user is reduced.
The chinese patent application No. 201010221057.6 discloses a detergent feeding method, which comprises a temporary storage box for laundry detergent, wherein the temporary storage box for laundry detergent comprises a storage box for temporarily storing laundry detergent and a water supply box for supplying water, and the steps of manually adding laundry detergent and manually adding laundry detergent are provided. The steps in the patent are based on a washing machine with an automatic putting function, and in the steps of manually adding the washing agent and manually adding the washing agent, a user needs to manually trigger a button on a control screen, so that the operation steps of the user are increased, and the automatic control level of the washing machine is not favorably improved.
The present invention has been made in view of this situation.

A washing machine is generally provided with a detergent box and a water inlet system communicating with the detergent box. Generally, when a washing machine is used for clothes treatment, before water enters the washing machine, a user puts a clothes treatment agent into a detergent box, and when water enters the washing machine, the clothes treatment agent in the detergent box is flushed into the washing machine, but in general, the washing machine controls water entering of the washing machine only before a washing program or a rinsing program runs, a water inlet system is in a closed state during the running of the washing program or the rinsing program, and when the user finds that the put amount of the clothes treatment agent is insufficient or forgets to put the clothes treatment agent, the user needs to manually use water to flush the clothes treatment agent into the washing machine after the clothes treatment agent is filled into the detergent box, so that great inconvenience is brought to the user.
As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides a control method for a washing machine with manually added laundry treatment agent, the washing machine comprises a control system electrically connected with a water inlet system; the control method comprises the step that after the water inlet of the washing machine is finished, the control system controls the water inlet system to inject water into the detergent box. The washing agent box is washed in water, when the washing agent box is filled with the clothes treating agent, the clothes treating agent automatically enters the washing machine through washing, the inconvenience that a user uses a container to contain water to wash the washing agent box is avoided, the labor capacity of the user is reduced, and the user experience is improved.
When the clothes treating agent is a detergent, after the washing machine finishes washing water inlet, the control system controls the water inlet system to inject water into the detergent box. When the detergent is added into the detergent box, the condition of insufficient detergent addition is often caused due to the influence of subjective consciousness of a user, the most common condition is that the detergent is supplemented in the process of washing the clothes, and after the water is fed into the washing machine, in order to avoid the inconvenience of flushing the detergent box by water contained in a container by the user, the control system of the washing machine controls the water inlet system to inject water into the detergent box, so that the washing machine is very necessary.
The control system is provided with a time interval T0(ii) a After the washing water inlet is finished, the control system is arranged at intervals of time T0And controlling the water inlet system to inject water into the detergent box. The arrangement of the method ensures that once the detergent box is replenished with the detergent, the replenished detergent can be flushed into the washing machine by subsequent water inflow, and the inconvenience that a user flushes the detergent box by water contained in a container is avoided.
Said time interval T0For constant or variable values, said time interval T0There is a maximum value. Time interval T0The water inlet system of the washing machine regularly feeds water into the detergent box at a fixed value, but the time interval T takes the actual situation in life into consideration0In order to change the value to conform to the use rule, the condition that the user adds the detergent in the first half of the clothes washing process is the most, and the detergent is supplemented in the second half of the clothes washing process, so that the contribution to the clothes washing effect is small.
The washing time is set in the control system of the washing machine, so as to facilitate the time interval T0Go on to arrangeThe control system divides the washing time into a first operation time and a second operation time; the value of the first running time is equal to or greater than the value of the second running time; the control system controls the water inlet system to inject water into the detergent box more times in the first operation time than in the second operation time.
The time length of the first operation time is equal to or more than one half of the total time length of the clothes washing from the time of starting the clothes washing, the time length of the second operation time is equal to or more than one half of the total time length of the clothes washing from the time of finishing the first operation time to the time of finishing the clothes washing process, and the control system controls the water injection times of the water inlet system to the detergent box to be more than the water injection times in the second operation time in the first operation time.
Setting a first time interval T in the first operation time1Setting a second time interval T in said second running time2(ii) a During a first operating time, the control system is arranged at intervals of a first time interval T1Controlling the water inlet system to inject water into the detergent box; during a second operating time, the control system is arranged at intervals of a second time interval T2Controlling the water inlet system to inject water into the detergent box; the control system controls the water inlet system to inject water into the detergent box more times in the first operation time than in the second operation time.
At the same time interval T0Similarly, for a first time interval T1And a second time interval T2Is a constant value or a variable value. When time interval T0First time interval T1And a second time interval T2For varying the value, the value of the time interval can be set to different values in the control system, for example to values of 1, 2, 3The control system controls the water inlet system to inject water into the detergent box after different time intervals; the value of the time interval may also be determined by an iterative procedure associated with the water intake times of the water intake system, for example, the water intake times are set to n, the time interval of the first water intake is set to a fixed value, and the value of the water intake time interval is n +1 from the second water intake, specifically, for example, the time interval of the first water intake is 1 minute, and the time interval of the second water intake is 3 minutes.
To avoid the situation that no water is fed into the washing machine for a longer time, the time interval T is0First time interval T1And a second time interval T2The maximum value of the time interval is set for variable values, which ensures that the replenished detergent can be flushed into the washing machine.
The control system is provided with a time interval t, and when the washing residual time of the washing machine is less than the time interval t, the control system controls the water inlet system to stop injecting water into the detergent box. The method avoids the problems that when the clothes washing process is about to end, the washing agent is supplemented into the washing machine, so that the washing agent is not fully dissolved, a large amount of residues exist on the clothes, the cleanliness of the subsequent rinsing process is not facilitated, and meanwhile, the clothes are prevented from being damaged by the residual washing agent.
In order to avoid excessive water injection in the washing machine, the water inlet system is set in the control system to inject water into the detergent box for a first set time; when the time length of water injection of the water inlet system into the detergent box is less than the first set time, the water inlet system continuously injects water into the detergent box; and when the water injection time of the water inlet system into the detergent box is longer than or equal to the first set time, stopping injecting water into the detergent box by the water inlet system.
In order to ensure the washing effect of clothes, the water level in the washing machine is not required to be too high, when the water level is too high, the clothes in the water cannot be sufficiently stirred, particularly in a drum washing machine, when the water level is too high, the beating action of the clothes is weakened, the cleaning action of the clothes is weakened, a critical water level is set in a control system, and when the water level in the washing machine is lower than the critical water level, the control system controls the water inlet system to inject water into the detergent box; when the water level in the washing machine is equal to or higher than the critical water level, the control system controls the water inlet system to stop filling water into the detergent box.
As the user's demands for laundry care become higher, a softener or other laundry treating agent is used in the laundry treating process. When the clothes treating agent is a softener, the control method is used in the last rinsing process of the washing machine, and after the water inlet of the last rinsing process is finished, the control system controls the water inlet structure to inject water into the detergent box. The control method for supplementing the detergent in the washing process is also suitable for the method for supplementing the softener, and is not described again.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
