Along with the improvement of the quality of life of people, the hygiene consciousness is gradually improved, and especially in the aspect of household clothes washing, more and more people use a multi-drum washing machine to separately wash clothes; however, in the process of heating and washing the clothes, the multi-tub washing machine may need a plurality of washing tubs to be heated separately in order to meet the safety requirement; the present invention provides a heating control method, device, storage medium and washing machine for a multi-tub washing machine, which are described in detail with respect to the above embodiments.

Example 1

The present embodiment provides a heating washing control method of a multi-tub washing machine, as shown in fig. 1 to 4; when a plurality of washing barrels need to run heating programs at the same time, acquiring priority levels of different washing barrels and acquiring residual heating time lengths T of the plurality of washing barrels; the heating order of the plurality of washing tubs is determined according to the priority levels and the remaining heating time periods of the different washing tubs. The embodiment provides a control logic for determining a heating sequence in a heating washing process of a multi-tub washing machine, and particularly determines the heating washing sequences of a plurality of washing tubs according to the priority levels of different washing tubs and the remaining heating time lengths of the washing tubs, and controls the washing machine to heat according to the determined heating washing sequences, so that the heating washing process of the multi-tub washing machine is realized.

Specifically, when the multi-tub washing machine is in the operation process, when a plurality of washing tubs need to be heated, if the washing machine is heated at the same time, the electric load of the washing machine is too large, potential safety hazards easily appear, the residual heating time and the priority level of the plurality of washing tubs are obtained, the priority level of a user when the user uses the multi-tub washing is considered while the residual heating time is considered, the heating sequence of the washing tubs is sequenced according to the user requirements, the problem of the heating time sequence when the multi-tub washing machine needs to be heated is solved, meanwhile, the washing tubs which the user wants to finish the washing as soon as possible are preferentially heated, and the waiting time of the user is shortened.

With respect to the method for determining the heating order of a plurality of washing tubs according to the priority levels and the remaining heating time periods of different washing tubs described in the above embodiment, the determination of the priority levels will now be specifically explained:

in the implementation process, the priority level is an agreement, when the washing machine runs, a command with high priority level is executed firstly, or the washing barrel with high priority level starts a heating washing process preferentially, the command can be executed according to a certain standard in the use process of the multi-barrel washing machine through the setting of the priority level, and the problem that the multi-barrel washing machine cannot run normally due to the conflict of the running commands in the multi-barrel running process of the multi-barrel washing machine, so that the user experience is influenced, is prevented; further security issues may result when multiple conflicting execution instructions are executed. The embodiment provides a control method of a heating washing sequence of a multi-barrel washing machine, which determines a heating washing process through comprehensive consideration of priority and residual heating time, and solves the problem that operation instruction conflict possibly occurs in the operation process of the multi-barrel washing machine; further optimized, since the priority level is a convention, it can be represented by the number size, and at the same time, it can also be represented by high, medium, low, etc.; in the embodiment, different priority levels correspond to different priority level weights P; when different priority levels are acquired, acquiring the priority level weight P for corresponding priority level pairs, and determining the heating sequence of the plurality of washing tubs according to the priority level weight P and the residual heating time length. In specific implementation, the washing machine has a function of setting a priority level, and when a user sets the priority level of the washing barrel, the priority level weight P corresponding to the priority level is obtained; operating according to the operation sequence of the multi-tub washing machine desired by the user; further, in order to make the washing process more intelligent and shorten the waiting time of the user while satisfying the user's demands, the washing order is determined by combining the priority level weight and the remaining heating washing time of the plurality of washing tubs. When the user does not set the priority level of the washing tub, the heating sequence of the plurality of washing tubs is determined according to the priority level weight and the remaining heating time period by using the priority level weight P corresponding to the default priority level of the washing tub.

In the specific implementation process, the default priority level of the washing barrel is set according to the upper position and the lower position of the washing barrel, and the priority level of the washing barrel positioned above is higher than that of the washing barrel positioned below. In the multi-barrel heating washing process, the washing barrel with the higher position is determined to have higher priority level, and the clothes in the washing barrel with the higher position are heated and washed preferentially; in practical use, because the washing barrels of the multi-barrel washing machine are vertically arranged, when the number of the washing barrels is large, the washing machine is high in the vertical direction, so that the center of the multi-barrel washing machine is also high; in the washing process, the upper washing barrel is treated preferentially, the lower washing barrel is in a waiting stage, and the washing water or clothes in the lower washing barrel play a role of a counterweight of the multi-barrel washing machine, so that the vibration of the washing machine caused by heating and washing in the clothes treatment process of the upper washing barrel is reduced. Meanwhile, the upper washing barrel is set to be in a higher priority level, the upper washing barrel is preferentially operated, the heating washing process of the lower washing barrel is further completed, the vibration process of the washing machine can be greatly reduced, and the user experience of the washing process of the washing machine is further improved.

Further optimized, the embodiment provides a priority level and a method for determining a specific numerical value of the priority level weight P; specifically, the priority levels are divided according to numbers, and the larger the number representing the priority level is, the higher the priority level is; in the specific implementation process, the corresponding numbers of the priority levels from high to low are distributed to 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1; meanwhile, the priority level can be a digital interval, for example, the digital interval corresponding to the priority level from low to high is all real numbers from 0 to 10; since the priority level is one section, the user can select any one real number of 0 to 10 as the priority level of the washing tub. Rather than selection of an orphan priority option; according to the priority level setting, when the user selects the priority level, the priority level can be selected in the interval in a sliding mode, and the priority level sequence of the plurality of washing barrels corresponding to the washing barrel with different priority levels selected by the user can be updated in real time according to the priority level selected by the user. In the specific implementation process, the heating sequence of the washing barrels is determined by combining the priority level and the residual heating time lengths T of the washing barrels; and normalizing the number corresponding to the priority level to obtain the priority level weight P.

With respect to the method of determining the heating order of a plurality of washing tubs according to the priority levels and the remaining heating time periods of different washing tubs described in the above embodiment, the determination of the remaining heating time period will now be specifically explained:

when a user opens the multi-barrel washing machine to wash clothes, the multiple washing barrels execute washing instructions and wash the clothes according to a washing mode set by the washing machine, but in the specific washing instruction execution process, when one washing barrel executes a heating washing process, other washing barrels can also enter a heating washing process, and at the moment, if the multi-barrel washing machine is heated simultaneously, the operating power of the multi-barrel washing machine in the operation process can be overhigh. However, as a necessary household appliance in daily life, when the operating power is too high or the temperature of the multiple drums is raised, the safety of the user is directly affected, and other safety performances of the multiple-drum washing machine, such as local spontaneous combustion, performance reduction of an insulating material, or short circuit caused by softening of plastic, are also affected. At the moment, the time sequence of executing the heating washing instructions by the washing barrels needing to be heated and washed is optimized according to the priority levels and the residual heating time lengths of the different washing barrels, so that the possible safety problem is solved. Specifically, the remaining heating period T is equal to the set total heating period minus the heated period.

In this embodiment, a three-tub washing machine is used to describe the heating control logic of the multi-tub washing machine, where the three-tub washing machine includes a first washing tub, a second washing tub, and a third washing tub, and the three washing tubs correspond to a first heater, a second heater, and a third heater; after a user opens the multiple washing barrels to wash clothes, the three washing barrels enter a clothes washing process according to a user instruction; specifically, the first washing barrel firstly enters a heating washing process, and water in the washing barrel is heated by controlling a first heater; the second washing tub also enters the heating washing process during the heating process, and the above-mentioned safety problem may occur if the second washing tub is controlled to be directly heated. Aiming at the situation, acquiring the set total heating time length and the heated time length of the first washing barrel, wherein the set total heating time length minus the heated time length is the residual heating time length T of the first washing barrel, and the second washing barrel just enters a heating and washing stage; at this time, the set total heating time of the second washing tub is the remaining heating time T of the second washing tub. At the moment, the heating sequence of the two washing barrels is determined according to the priority levels of the two washing barrels, particularly according to the priority level weight and the residual heating time length, and the two washing barrels are controlled to be heated according to the determined heating sequence. Such as: when the first washing barrel is heated before the second washing barrel, the first washing barrel is heated, and the second washing barrel enters a waiting stage; at this time, if the third washing tub also needs to heat the water in the washing tub, the heating sequence of the second washing tub and the third washing tub may be determined only for the second washing tub and the third washing tub in the above-described manner of determining the heating sequence, and waiting may be performed in sequence after the heating sequence is determined. The heating order of the washing tub which enters the heating stage at the latest is determined by considering that a plurality of washing tubs may enter the heating stage one after another, and sequencing the preferential heating order of the washing tub which enters the heating stage later and the washing tub which performs the waiting heating.

Meanwhile, the heating sequence of the three washing barrels can be replanned and arranged according to the determination mode of the heating sequence; dynamically adjusting a heating sequence of the plurality of washing tubs. At this time, although the heating order of the first washtub and the second washtub is true, if only the third washtub newly entering the heating stage and the second washtub are compared as described above to determine the heating order of the second washtub and the third washtub; if the priority level of the third washing barrel is higher or the heating time is shorter, the third washing barrel cannot be controlled to carry out the first-order heating, the waiting time of a user is prolonged, and the user experience is further influenced; therefore, when a new washing barrel is detected to heat the water in the barrel, the washing machine is controlled to judge and determine the heating sequence of all the washing barrels which are heating or are executing the heating waiting, and the multi-barrel washing machine is heated according to the sequence in the heating washing process. The logic control of the heating process of the multi-barrel washing machine is solved, and the multi-barrel washing machine can complete the heating washing of a plurality of washing barrels more safely.

The set total heating time length in the above embodiment may be different heating time lengths preset for different washing tubs, and the time length is determined according to different washing modes or heating modes selected by a user; or the total heating time length can be determined by the washing machine according to the material of the clothes to be washed and/or the water quantity in the washing barrel and/or the water temperature in the washing barrel after the washing machine is started by a user, and at the moment, after the washing barrel with the determined total heating time length enters a heating stage, the washing barrel is controlled to be heated according to the set total heating time length until the heating is finished.

Further optionally, the remaining heating time period T is determined according to the current temperature of the water in the washing tub, the set temperature, the heating power, and the amount of water in the tub. In specific implementation, the remaining heating time period T may also be a time period required for heating the current temperature of the water in the washing tub to the set temperature; in the process of washing clothes by a user, different washing modes are selected by the washing barrels, and the washing machine is also provided with specific set temperatures aiming at the different washing modes, namely the final temperature value to which water in the washing barrels needs to be heated in the washing modes; therefore, when the residual heating time period T of the washing barrel needs to be determined, the residual heating time period T of the washing barrel is further determined according to the set temperature and the heating power of the washing barrel to the heater by detecting the current water temperature in the washing barrel and the water amount in the washing barrel. Determining the residual heating time length T in the above manner, and when the determined heating sequence changes from the original heating sequence, and the washing tub which is originally started to be heated enters a waiting stage due to the adjustment of the heating sequence, the water temperature in the washing tub is reduced along with the increase of the waiting time; therefore, when the heating sequence of the washing barrels needs to be determined again, the residual heating time length T is determined according to the real-time water temperature of the water in the washing barrels and the set temperature which needs to be reached, so that the washing temperature of the washing barrels can reach the preset temperature in the washing process of the washing machine, and the washing effect cannot be influenced due to the fact that the temperature does not reach the preset temperature.

As described in the above embodiments, after determining the priority levels and the remaining heating periods of the plurality of washing tubs, the heating order is determined according to the priority levels and the remaining heating periods of the plurality of washing tubs. The present embodiment provides a step of determining a heating order of a plurality of washing tubs according to priority weights P and remaining heating time periods T: calculating T/P values of the plurality of barrels, wherein the specific T/P value is a quotient of the residual heating time length T and the priority level weight P; determining the heating sequence of a plurality of washing barrels according to the T/P value; in the specific implementation process, the plurality of washing barrels are heated in the sequence of the T/P values from small to large. That is, when the remaining heating time period T of the washing tub is longer or the priority level weight P is larger, the quotient of T/P thereof is larger and the heating order of the corresponding washing tub is further backward. Further, when the remaining heating durations of the plurality of washing tubs are the same, the heating order of the plurality of washing tubs may also be determined by the priority weighting. According to the method for determining the heating sequence, the heating sequence of the washing barrels is finally determined by considering the priority weight P and the residual heating time length T in a combined manner, compared with the method for determining the heating sequence only according to the heating sequence or according to a user instruction, the intelligent planning of the heating sequence of the washing barrels is realized through a dynamic adjusting process, the waiting time of a user is shortened, the washing efficiency is improved, meanwhile, the heating time in the washing process is controlled through simple control logic, and further, the washing machine is higher in stability in the washing process.

In the washing process, after the heating sequence of the washing barrels is determined, the washing machine is controlled to heat the washing barrels according to the heating sequence until the heating washing of the washing barrels is completed; of course, if a new washing tub needs to be heated during the heating process, the heating sequence should be determined again.

The present embodiment provides a preferable heating process, when the multi-tub washing machine includes three washing tubs, and all three washing tubs need to be heated at the same time, after the heating sequence of the three washing tubs is determined, the washing machine is controlled to heat the washing tubs in the first sequence until the heating is completed. And after the heating of the washing barrels in the first sequence is finished, controlling the washing machine to alternately heat the washing barrels in the second sequence and the third sequence until the heating is finished. Through the heating process, after the heating sequence of the washing barrels is determined, the washing barrel which is most needed by a user to be washed preferentially or the washing barrel with the heating sequence arranged at the first position is preferentially heated, and the waiting time of the user is shortened. And alternately heating the second sequence of washing tubs and the third sequence of washing tubs after the first washing tub is heated, thereby completing the heating and washing processes of the plurality of washing tubs.

In the specific implementation process, after the washing barrels in the second sequence are heated for a set time length, the heating is stopped, and the washing barrels in the third sequence are heated; the heating time period of the second sequence of washing tubs and the heating turn-on node of the third sequence of washing tubs are determined by the definition of the heating time period. Specifically, the heaters corresponding to the washing barrels in the second sequence are started, the heaters of the washing barrels in the second sequence are closed after the time A minutes (min) is limited, the heaters in the third sequence are started to heat water in the third washing barrel, and the value range of A is more than or equal to 0.5min and less than or equal to 1.5 min. A further heating process of the third sequence of washing tubs is also defined; when the temperature of the third sequence of washing tubs is raised to the set temperature, the heating is stopped, and the second sequence of washing tubs is reheated. The temperature rise setting temperature is specifically B ℃, and the value range of B is more than or equal to 5 ℃ and less than or equal to 20 ℃. The heating time of the second sequence washing barrel is controlled in the heating process of the second sequence washing barrel, the washing machine is controlled to heat the third sequence washing barrel after the set heating time is reached, the second sequence washing barrel and the third sequence washing barrel are controlled to be heated alternately through two parameters of the heating time and the temperature value of heating temperature rise, and compared with sequential heating, the heating completion time of the second sequence washing barrel and the third sequence washing barrel is greatly shortened.

The embodiment provides a heating and washing control method of a multi-barrel washing machine, when the multi-barrel washing machine is in the operation process and a plurality of washing barrels are required to be heated, if the washing machines are heated at the same time, the electric load of the washing machines is overlarge, and potential safety hazards are easy to occur; furthermore, a control method for multi-barrel cyclic period heating is provided, the washing heating waiting time is shortened, and the washing efficiency is improved.

In the specific implementation process, the washing machine is a multi-barrel washing machine, and a three-barrel washing machine with three washing barrels is adopted in the embodiment; the washing machine is divided into a first washing barrel, a second washing barrel and a third washing barrel according to the upper and lower distribution of the washing barrels; the three washing barrels correspond to the first heater, the second heater and the third heater respectively; the priority level weights P of the plurality of washing tubs in the present embodiment are P1> P2> P3; i.e. the higher the order of the washing tubs, the higher the priority level of the washing tubs and the higher the corresponding priority level weight P.

Further, T/P values of the plurality of washing tubs are calculated, and finally, a heating sequence of the plurality of washing tubs is determined.
