The use scene is intelligent, and the high-end use requirement of modern people is satisfied.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the main steps of a first embodiment of the method for controlling a washing apparatus according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the control method of the present embodiment includes:
step A1, collecting images in the washing equipment through a camera;
step A2, sending the image to the mobile terminal;
step A3, receiving a control instruction sent by the mobile terminal;
and step A4, controlling the operation of the washing equipment according to the control instruction.
In this embodiment, the execution main body is a control unit in the washing apparatus, and the control instruction includes: water quantity supplement instructions, detergent feeding instructions and/or water flow strength adjusting instructions and the like.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating specific steps of controlling the operation of the washing apparatus according to the control command in the first embodiment of the method for controlling the washing apparatus according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the step of controlling the operation of the washing device according to the control command may specifically include:
step A41, when the control command includes a water quantity supplement command, raising the water level of the washing equipment to a target water level;
step A42, when the control instruction comprises a detergent putting instruction, putting detergent according to the target detergent putting amount;
and step A43, when the control command comprises a water flow intensity adjusting command, adjusting the water flow intensity to the target water flow intensity.
Because the control command may include one or more of a water quantity supplement command, a detergent dispensing command, and a water flow strength adjustment command, after receiving the control command, the control unit in the washing apparatus may perform one or more of the above steps a41-a43 according to specific command conditions, and the sequence of the steps may also be changed.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the main steps of a second embodiment of the washing apparatus control method according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the control method of the present embodiment includes:

and step B4, controlling the operation of the washing equipment according to the control instruction. The steps specifically include steps B40-B43:
step B40, when the control command includes a pause washing command, pausing the washing device;
step B41, when the control command includes a water quantity supplement command, raising the water level of the washing equipment to the target water level;
step B42, when the control instruction comprises a detergent putting instruction, putting detergent according to the target detergent putting amount;
and step B43, when the control command comprises a water flow intensity adjusting command, adjusting the water flow intensity to the target water flow intensity.
Compared with the first embodiment, the steps B1-B3 in this embodiment correspond to the steps A1-A3 in the first embodiment. The difference lies in that: the control commands in this embodiment further include a pause washing command, and accordingly, the step of controlling the operation of the washing apparatus according to the control command in step B4 includes step B40 in addition to steps B41-B43, which are the same as steps a41-a 43.
In practical applications, if the pause command is executed first, and then the operation of raising the water level and/or putting detergent in and/or adjusting the water flow strength is performed, the control unit in the washing device will receive a "start" command sent by the mobile terminal after the execution of the operation, or the control unit automatically executes the start operation after the execution of the operation, so as to control the washing device to continue to operate.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the main steps of a third embodiment of the washing apparatus control method according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the control method of the present embodiment includes:
step C1, the mobile terminal receives the image sent by the washing equipment;
step C2, the mobile terminal judges the operation state of the washing equipment according to the image and generates a control instruction according to the judgment result;
in step C3, the mobile terminal transmits a control command to the washing apparatus to control the operation of the washing apparatus.
In this embodiment, the execution subject is a mobile terminal, which may be a mobile phone, a PAD, or other devices. In a specific application scenario, when the operation state of the washing apparatus is determined according to the image in step C2, the obtained determination result may include (water shortage, detergent shortage, and/or water flow strength is inappropriate, etc.) one or more situations that require intervention on the washing apparatus, and therefore, the generated control instruction may also include one or more situations, that is, include: water volume supplement instructions, detergent dosing instructions, and/or water flow intensity adjustment instructions, and the like.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating specific steps of generating a control command according to a determination result in a third embodiment of the method for controlling a washing apparatus according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, the step of generating the control instruction according to the determination result in this embodiment may specifically include:
step C21, when the water quantity is insufficient, generating a water quantity supplement instruction;
step C22, when the judgment result is that the detergent is insufficient, a detergent putting instruction is generated;
and step C23, when the water flow strength is not proper, generating a water flow strength adjusting instruction.
Since the determination result may include (insufficient water, insufficient detergent, and/or improper water flow, etc.) one or more situations requiring intervention in the washing device, the mobile terminal may need to perform one or more of the above steps C21-C23, and the sequence of the steps may be changed.
In an alternative embodiment, the control instructions may further include a pause wash instruction. Accordingly, the step of generating the control command according to the judgment result in the step C2 may further include:
and C24, when the water quantity is insufficient and/or the detergent is insufficient and/or the water flow is not strong enough, additionally generating a pause washing instruction.
In this embodiment, if a pause command is additionally generated, the control unit in the washing apparatus performs a pause operation first, and then after the operation of raising the water level and/or putting detergent in and/or adjusting the water flow strength is performed, the mobile terminal further generates a "start" command and sends the command to the control unit of the washing apparatus, or the control unit of the washing apparatus automatically performs a start operation after performing the above operation, so as to control the washing apparatus to continue to operate.
Although the foregoing embodiments describe the steps in the above sequential order, those skilled in the art will understand that, in order to achieve the effect of the present embodiments, the steps may not be executed in such an order, and may be executed simultaneously (in parallel) or in an inverse order, and these simple variations are within the scope of the present invention.
