Fig. 1 is a schematic method diagram of an embodiment of a laundry reservation control method provided by the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control method includes at least step S110, step S150, step S160, step S170, step S180, and step S190.

Step S110, when a clothes washing reservation request of a first user is received, a target clothes storage cabinet and a corresponding target detergent container unit are distributed for the first user, and numbers of the distributed target clothes storage cabinet and the corresponding target detergent container unit are returned to the first user.

The first user can make a laundry reservation through a user interaction interface of a mobile terminal (APP), a web side or a wardrobe. The method comprises the steps that personal information needing to be registered for the first time, including information such as nicknames, telephones and addresses, is used, a server receives the registered information of a user through a user interaction interface of a mobile terminal (APP), a web terminal or a wardrobe and then stores the registered information, the user can reserve the wardrobe, and the user can reserve a plurality of wardrobes.

After receiving a clothes washing reservation request of a first user, allocating an idle wardrobe and a corresponding detergent container unit, namely a target wardrobe and a corresponding target detergent container unit, to the first user, and returning the number of the allocated target wardrobe and the corresponding target detergent container unit to the first user.

Step S150, controlling the cabinet door of the target wardrobe to be opened so that the first user can put clothes to be washed into the target wardrobe, and controlling the switch of the target detergent container unit to be opened when the first user selects to use the self-contained detergent so that the first user can put the self-contained detergent into the target detergent container unit.

In a specific embodiment, a first user may select to use a self-contained detergent or a detergent provided by a washing machine, determine whether the first user uses the self-contained detergent, and if the first user selects to use the self-contained detergent, return the number of a target wardrobe and a corresponding target detergent container unit to the first user, and then control a cabinet door of the target wardrobe to open, so that the first user puts clothes to be washed into the target wardrobe, and open a switch of the target detergent container unit, so that the first user puts the self-contained detergent into the target detergent container unit.

For example, query information is displayed on a user interactive interface of a mobile terminal, a web terminal or a wardrobe, the user is queried whether to take the detergent and/or the softener, for example, a yes option button and a no option button are displayed on the user interactive interface, and the selection of the first user is received, and the first user selects the yes option button to determine to use the detergent and/or the softener taken by the user. And if the washing and protecting agent carried by the user is determined to be used, the number of the washing and protecting agent container unit corresponding to the distributed target wardrobe is returned to the first user, namely, is displayed on the user interaction interface. Meanwhile, the door of the wardrobe is controlled to be opened, the switch of the corresponding detergent container unit on the washing machine is controlled to be opened, and after the first user puts clothes to be washed and detergent into the washing machine, the reservation is finished. If the washing and protecting agent carried by the user is determined not to be used, the washing and protecting agent provided by the washing system is used, namely, the washing and protecting agent is automatically added into the washing machine when the clothes are washed.

Preferably, the first user will be alerted if the wardrobe or the laundry care agent container unit is not closed. When the first user-carried washing and protecting agent (detergent and/or softener) is not used, the washing and protecting agent container unit is in a completely closed state without the need of manually adding a washing and protecting agent product by the user.

Preferably, after the first user puts the clothes to be washed into the target clothes storage cabinet or when the first user selects to use the self-contained detergent, after the first user puts the self-contained detergent into the target detergent container unit, (the numbers of) the target clothes storage cabinet and the target detergent container unit are added into a washing queue to wait for washing. The washing queue is a logic queue used for storing the queuing sequence of the wardrobe and the corresponding detergent container unit, namely the washing sequence of the washing tasks.

Step S160, after the first user puts the laundry into the target clothes storage cabinet, receiving a request for ending the laundry in advance from the first user within a first preset time.

The first preset time is a preset time allowing the washing task to be cancelled. And in a first preset time after the first user puts the clothes to be washed into the target clothes storage cabinet, the user can send out a request for finishing washing in advance at any time and select to finish washing in advance.

Step S170, if the laundry request of the first user to finish the laundry in advance is received within a first preset time, finishing the washing task of the first user in advance, and controlling the cabinet door of the target wardrobe to open, so that the first user can take out the laundry from the target wardrobe.

Specifically, within a first preset time after the first user puts the clothes to be washed into the target clothes storage cabinet, if a request for finishing washing clothes in advance is received from the first user, the washing task of the first user is finished in advance, and meanwhile, the cabinet door of the target clothes storage cabinet is controlled to be opened, so that the user can take the clothes to be washed out of the target clothes storage cabinet.

Step S180, after the first user takes out the laundry from the target wardrobe, if it is determined that the detergent is added to the target detergent container unit, determining whether a laundry reservation request of a second user who selects to use the washing machine to provide the detergent is received within a second preset time.

In a specific embodiment, when the washing task of the user is ended in advance, after the first user takes out the laundry from the target clothes storage cabinet, if it is determined that no detergent is added to the target detergent container unit, the target clothes storage cabinet and the target detergent container unit (numbers of the target clothes storage cabinet and the target detergent container unit) are withdrawn from the washing queue and added to the storage queue for queuing for distribution.

The storage queue is a logic queue, the vacant wardrobe and the corresponding detergent container unit are in the storage queue, and the storage queue is the sequence of the vacant wardrobe and the corresponding detergent container unit. Alternatively, when a laundry reservation request of any user is received, an empty wardrobe and a detergent container unit corresponding to the wardrobe can be taken out from the storage queue according to the queuing sequence and distributed to the user.

And if the target detergent container unit is judged to be added with the detergent, judging whether a washing reservation request of a second user selecting to use the washing machine to provide the detergent is received within second preset time. That is, whether a laundry reservation request of a second user is received within a second preset time is judged, and whether the user selects to use the laundry machine to provide a detergent.

Preferably, if it is determined that a laundry reservation request of a second user who selects to use the washing machine to provide the laundry care agent is not received within a second preset time, the target clothes storage cabinet and the target laundry care agent container unit are withdrawn from the washing queue and added into the waiting queue for queuing for processing; namely, waiting for the target wash care agent container unit to be subjected to the rinsing process. The waiting queue is a logic queue, the users in the washing queue quit the washing task midway, if the detergent is added into the detergent container unit of the user, the corresponding wardrobe and the corresponding detergent container unit enter the waiting queue to wait for processing, namely washing processing.

Step S190, if a laundry reservation request of a second user who selects to use the washing machine to provide the detergent is received within a second preset time, allocating the target clothes storage cabinet and the corresponding target detergent container unit to the second user for use.

Specifically, a new washing reservation request is received within a second preset time, and when the new washing reservation request is received, judging whether the user selects to use the washing machine to provide the washing and protecting agent, if the user selects to use the washing machine to provide the washing and protecting agent, the target wardrobe and the corresponding target detergent container unit are allocated to the user (namely, a second user) for use, if the user is judged to select to use the self-contained detergent, the user is assigned a free wardrobe and corresponding detergent container unit from the storage queue, and continuing to judge the next new clothes washing reservation request until judging that the user selects to use the washing machine to provide the washing care agent, if the second preset time is exceeded, not receiving the clothes washing reservation request of the second user using the washing machine to provide the washing care agent, and adding the target wardrobe and the corresponding target detergent container unit into a waiting queue to queue for washing treatment.

Further, the method further comprises: after the washing tasks of other users arranged in front of the first user in the current washing queue are finished, controlling the conveying device to take out the clothes to be washed from the target wardrobe and put the clothes into the washing device for washing; after the clothes to be washed of the first user are washed, controlling the conveying device to take out the washed clothes from the washing device and put the washed clothes back into the target wardrobe to wait for the first user to take out the washed clothes.

Specifically, after the clothes of the user before the first user are washed, the conveying device is controlled to take the clothes to be washed out of the target clothes storage cabinet of the first user and put the clothes into the washing device for washing. Before washing, the switch of the detergent container unit is controlled to be opened, and detergent is put into the washing device to wash clothes.

Preferably, each of the detergent container units comprises: a detergent container unit and a softener container unit for controlling the washing device to wash the laundry, including: and firstly, controlling a switch of the detergent container unit to open and put in detergent for washing clothes, and then controlling the switch of the softener container unit to open and put in softener for further softening the clothes.

Furthermore, after the clothes to be washed of the current user are washed, the conveying device is controlled to take out the washed clothes from the washing device, put the washed clothes into the target wardrobe and the like for the user to take out the washed clothes. That is, after the clothes of the user who is arranged in front of the user in the current washing queue are washed, the conveying device is controlled to take the clothes to be washed out of the target clothes storage cabinet and put into the washing device for washing, and after the clothes to be washed of the current user are washed, the conveying device is controlled to take the washed clothes out of the washing device and put back into the target clothes storage cabinet for taking out of the user, namely, the user takes the washed clothes out of the clothes storage cabinet originally stored with the clothes to be washed. After the clothes to be washed are washed and the user takes out the washed clothes from the target clothes storage cabinet, adding the target clothes storage cabinet and the target detergent container unit (number) into a storage queue to wait for distribution.

Fig. 3a and 3b are schematic views of a user waiting for selection of a washing machine to automatically add detergent in case of early ending of washing according to the present invention.

A. B, C represent three cases of early termination of the laundry task:

A. when judging that the detergent exists in the detergent container unit of the user who finishes washing in advance, and in the time T (second preset time), other users need the washing machine to automatically add the detergent (namely, the washing machine is used for providing the detergent);

B. when judging that the detergent exists in the detergent container unit of the user who finishes washing in advance, waiting for T time (second preset time), and avoiding the condition that other users need the washing machine to automatically add the detergent;

C. and judging whether the detergent exists in the detergent container unit of the user who finishes the washing in advance.

As shown in fig. 3a and 3b, it is assumed that three cases occur in the form of three users canceling orders (a case of ending a laundry task in advance), and similar users occur again, and so on. The direction from left to right in the figure represents time degrees, the cancel sequence is represented from top to bottom, and the server executes commands in sequence according to the order cancel time sequence under the condition that orders are not canceled at the same time. A. B may occur arbitrarily within the time period T shown in the figure, and when a laundry reservation request for selecting the washing machine to automatically add the laundry detergent is received at a certain time within the time period T, the wardrobe of the user who cancels the order and the corresponding laundry detergent container unit are assigned to the user, where a in fig. 3a and 3B represents an extreme case, and a laundry reservation request for selecting the washing machine to automatically add the laundry detergent is received at the last time of the time period T (second preset time). C may also occur at any time within the T period, which is not specifically shown in the figure, T1, T2 and T3 in fig. 3a are dotted lines to indicate the time period in which the C case may occur, T1 and T5 in fig. 3b are dotted lines to indicate the time period in which the C case may occur, and the number of users in the C case is not constant and the time period is not constant within the time period.

Fig. 3a shows the situation that A, B times do not overlap during the waiting time T. Setting the time periods to A1 and A2 when two search T time periods are all A-type users, respectively waiting for two T time periods, respectively finding and selecting D1 and D2 for automatically adding the washing and protecting agent in the two T time periods, respectively, allocating the wardrobe and the washing and protecting agent container unit of A1 to a D1 user in a washing queue, quitting the washing queue by the wardrobe and the washing and protecting agent container unit of the A1 user, sequentially moving the elements behind the original A1 position forward for sorting, and adding the corresponding wardrobe and the washing and protecting agent container unit to the tail of the washing queue after the D1 user puts clothes; and after the D2 user puts clothes in, the corresponding wardrobe and detergent container unit is added to the tail of the washing queue.

When two search T time periods are set as B1 and B2 when a certain user of class B is found, the two search T time periods need to be waited for respectively, and users who select the washing machine to automatically add the washing and protecting agent are not waited for in the two search T time periods respectively, the server puts A1 and A2 into a waiting queue in sequence, after the current washing is finished, the washing machine flushes the B1 and B2 washing and protecting agent container units, and the washing machine is added into a storage queue after the flushing.

When the first search T time period is a certain user of class A, the second search T time period is a certain user of class B, and when a user D who selects the washing machine to automatically add the washing and protecting agent is waited for in the first search T time period, the wardrobe and the washing and protecting agent container unit of the user A in the washing queue are distributed to the user D, the wardrobe and the washing and protecting agent container unit of the user A quit the washing queue, elements after the original position A sequentially move forwards for sequencing, and when the user D puts clothes in, the corresponding wardrobe and the washing and protecting agent container unit are added to the tail of the washing queue; and (3) the user cancels the order at the later time B, if the user does not wait for selecting the washing machine to automatically add the washing and protecting agent in the second T time period, the wardrobe and the washing and protecting agent container unit of the user B are put into a waiting queue, after the current washing task is finished, the washing and protecting agent container unit of the user B is flushed by water, and the flushing is added into the storage queue after the flushing.

When the first search T time period is a certain user of class B, the second search T time period is a certain user of class A, and the server does not find a user who selects the washing machine to automatically add the washing and protecting agent in the first search T time period, the server puts the wardrobe and the washing and protecting agent container unit of the user B into a waiting queue, after the current washing task is completed, water is discharged to wash the washing and protecting agent container unit of the user B, and the washed washing and protecting agent container unit is added into the storing queue. And after the order is cancelled at the later time A, the server finds out and selects the washing machine to automatically add the detergent to be put into the user D in the second time T period, the wardrobe and the detergent container unit of the user A in the washing queue are distributed to the user D, the wardrobe and the detergent container unit of the user A quit the current position of the washing queue, elements behind the original position A sequentially move forwards for sequencing, and after the user D puts clothes, the corresponding wardrobe and the detergent container unit are added to the tail of the washing queue.

Since there may be A, B classes of users that cancel orders sequentially during time T, there may be overlaps in the search time A, B as shown in FIG. 3 b.
