Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.
The display screen of the multi-drum washing machine in the related art is mainly set in the following two setting modes.
In the first mode, touch display screens corresponding to the number of the washing drums are generally arranged, referring to fig. 1, the double-drum washing machine is provided with an upper touch display screen 11 and a lower touch display screen 14 respectively on the upper portion and the lower portion of a casing 13, so that the upper washing drum 12 and the lower washing drum 15 are respectively controlled by the two touch display screens, and the arrangement mode enables the number of the touch display screens to be large and occupies a large arrangement area.
In a second way, a touch display screen may be disposed on the washing machine housing 24, so that the touch keys of the washing cylinders are provided through the touch display screen at the same time, and then the control of the multi-cylinder washing machine is realized through the touch controls, referring to fig. 2, taking the dual-cylinder washing machine as an example, the upper touch key 221 corresponding to the upper washing cylinder 21 and the lower touch key 222 corresponding to the lower washing cylinder 23 are displayed on the touch display screen 22 at the same time, and since the upper touch key 221 and the lower touch key 222 are both displayed on the touch display screen 22 at the same time, a larger display space is required to display the touch keys of the upper washing cylinder and the lower washing cylinder. That is, even if only one touch display screen is provided, the area of the touch display screen needs to be set to be relatively large, so that the lower and upper touch cases 221 and 222 can be accommodated at the same time. Wherein, the upper washing cylinder can be called as the upper cylinder for short, and the lower washing cylinder can be called as the lower cylinder for short.
It can be understood that the space occupied by the touch display screen is increased, which increases the hardware cost on one hand, and also increases the probability of the touch display screen being polluted or damaged on the other hand. Therefore, how to realize the normal control of the multi-drum washing machine while saving the setting area of the touch display screen becomes a problem to be solved.
In order to solve the above problems, the inventor proposes a control method and apparatus for a multi-drum washing machine, a washing machine, and a storage medium according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which a first operation interface is displayed in a display area of the washing machine, the first operation interface includes a first control for controlling a working process of a first washing drum, and then a second operation interface is displayed in the display area in response to an operation interface switching operation, the second operation interface includes a second control for controlling a working process of a second washing drum. Different operation interfaces are arranged in one display area to be displayed, and the operation interface of the washing drum to be controlled is selected by switching the operation interface, so that the operation interface of the washing drum to be controlled currently only needs to be displayed in the display area at each time, and the operation interfaces of all the washing drums do not need to be displayed in the same display area at the same time, the setting number of control controls in the operation interface is reduced, and the setting area of the touch display screen is saved.
Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of a multi-tub washing machine, which may be applied to the multi-tub washing machine, according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the method including the steps of:
and S310, displaying a first operation interface in a display area of the washing machine, wherein the first operation interface comprises a first control for controlling the working process of the first washing drum.
And S320, responding to the switching operation of the operation interface, and displaying a second operation interface in the display area, wherein the second operation interface comprises a second control for controlling the working process of the second washing drum.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the touch display screen may provide a display area, and an operation interface may be displayed in the display area, where the operation interface includes a first operation interface and a second operation interface. The first operation interface can be understood as an interface before the operation interface is switched, and the second operation interface can be understood as an interface displayed after the first operation interface is switched.
That is to say, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first operation interface may be displayed in the display area, in the case that the first operation interface is displayed, the control of the working process of the first washing drum may be implemented by triggering the first control in the first operation interface, and after receiving the operation interface switching operation, the second operation interface may be displayed in the display area, in the case that the second operation interface is displayed, the control of the working process of the second washing drum may be implemented by triggering the second control in the second operation interface.
It should be noted that the first washing drum may be any one of the washing drums of the multi-drum washing machine, and the second washing drum may be any one of the washing drums of the multi-drum washing machine different from the first washing drum.
For example, in the dual drum washing machine, the first washing drum may be the upper drum such that the second washing drum corresponds to the lower drum, and for example, the first washing drum may be the lower drum such that the second washing drum corresponds to the upper drum.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the work processes or the work modes that the first washing drum or the second washing drum can perform are not particularly limited, and the work processes that the first washing drum or the second washing drum can perform may be, for example, large laundry, child laundry, mixed laundry, cold water laundry, warm water laundry, hot water laundry, soaking laundry, quick laundry, and the like, and further, the work processes that the first washing drum or the second washing drum can perform may include the same work processes.
In this case, there may be various situations in which the first operation interface is displayed in the display region of the washing machine.
In some embodiments, the first operation interface may be a default operation interface, that is, after the washing machine is turned on, the default first operation interface may be first displayed in the display area.
In other embodiments, the first operation interface may be displayed in the display area after the washing machine detects that the laundry is loaded in the first washing tub.
In addition, considering that the currently displayed operation interface may correspond to operation interfaces of other laundry drums, and a user may need to control working processes of other laundry drums, therefore, in order to avoid missing control of working processes of other laundry drums, the operation interfaces corresponding to other laundry drums are displayed in the current display area, and when the washing machine detects that clothes are loaded in the first laundry drum, prompt information indicating whether to switch to the first operation interface may be displayed in the currently displayed operation interface, so that after the user triggers the prompt information indicating to switch to the first laundry drum, the first operation interface may be displayed in the display area of the washing machine.
In some implementations, the first control and the second control contain a common control icon.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the same control icon can be used for respectively representing different control controls which correspond to each other before and after the operation interface is switched, so that the setting of the control icon can be reduced, and the setting area of the display screen is saved.
Exemplarily, it is assumed that the arrangement sequence of each control in the first control is child washing, major washing and cold water washing in sequence, and the arrangement sequence of each control in the second control is waterfall washing, warm water washing and cold water washing in sequence, so that the control icons corresponding to the child washing and the waterfall washing in the same sequencing position are the shared control icon, the control icon corresponding to the major washing and the warm water washing is the shared control icon, and the control icon corresponding to the cold water washing of the first washing drum and the cold water washing of the second washing drum is the shared control icon.
In addition, in some embodiments, the common control icon controls the operation processes of the first and second washing drums, respectively, the controlled operation processes including different operation processes.
With the foregoing example, when the first washing drum is controlled, the control icon corresponding to the waterfall washing for the child controls the first washing drum to execute the working process of the child washing, when the second washing drum is controlled, the second washing drum is controlled to execute the working process of the waterfall washing, when the first washing drum is controlled, the control icon corresponding to the warm washing for the major washing is controlled to execute the working process of the major washing for the first washing drum, when the second washing drum is controlled, the second washing drum is controlled to execute the working process of the warm washing, the control icon corresponding to the cold washing for the first washing drum and the cold washing for the second washing drum is controlled, and when the first washing drum and the second washing drum are controlled, the executed working processes are both cold washing.
By adopting the method, different operation interfaces are arranged in one display area to be displayed, and the operation interface of the washing drum to be controlled is selected by switching the operation of the operation interface, so that the operation interface of the washing drum to be controlled currently only needs to be displayed in the display area at each time, and the operation interfaces of all the washing drums do not need to be simultaneously displayed in the same display area, thereby reducing the number of control controls in the operation interface and saving the setting area of the touch display screen.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of a multi-tub washing machine according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the method including the steps of:
and S410, displaying a first operation interface in a display area of the washing machine, wherein the first operation interface comprises a first control for controlling the working process of the first washing drum.
And S420, responding to the first control switching operation triggered in the display area, so that the first control in the first operation interface moves, and after the first control switching operation is stopped, updating at least one first control in the first operation interface into a new first control.
The first control switching operation refers to an operation for performing mobile switching on a first control in a first operation interface.
In this embodiment of the disclosure, in order to further save the setting area of the touch display screen, a part of the first control controls may be displayed in the first operation interface, and in this case, in order to enable a user to use the functions corresponding to all the first control controls, the user may trigger the first control switching operation in the display area, so that the first control controls in the first operation interface are moved, and when at least one first control in the first operation interface is updated to a new first control and there is a function that the user wants to use in the first operation controls displayed after switching, the triggering of the first control switching operation may be stopped.
In some embodiments, the first control switching operation may be a left-sliding operation or a right-sliding operation, so that the first control may be moved to the left or the right in the display area by the left-sliding operation or the right-sliding operation to display the other first control in the first operation interface.
And S430, responding to the switching operation of the operation interface, and displaying a second operation interface in the display area, wherein the second operation interface comprises a second control for controlling the working process of the second washing drum.
The operation interface switching operation can be in various forms.
In some embodiments, the operation interface switching operation may be implemented by triggering a touch display screen. In this case, in response to the operation interface switching operation, displaying the second operation interface in the display area may include the steps of: and responding to the operation interface switching gesture triggered in the display area, and displaying a second operation interface corresponding to the operation interface switching gesture in the display area.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, when a user needs to switch to the second operation interface, a preset operation interface switching gesture can be scribed on the display area, that is, on the touch screen, so that the first operation interface can be switched to the second operation interface.
The operation interface switching gesture can be in various forms.
In some embodiments, the operation interface switching gesture may be a slide-up gesture or a slide-down gesture, such that the operation interface of the laundry drum located above the first laundry drum may be displayed in the display area in response to the slide-up gesture, and the operation interface of the laundry drum located below the first laundry drum may be displayed in the display area in response to the slide-down gesture.
It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the operation interface of the laundry drum located below the first laundry drum may be displayed in the display area in response to the upward-sliding gesture, and the operation interface of the laundry drum located above the first laundry drum may be displayed in the display area in response to the downward-sliding gesture.
In one embodiment, the washing machine is a dual drum washing machine, in which case, the washing drum includes an upper drum and a lower drum, and in this case, in response to an operation interface switching gesture triggered in the display area, a second operation interface corresponding to the first switching operation is displayed in the display area, including: when the first washing drum is a lower drum, responding to a sliding gesture triggered in the display area, and displaying a second operation interface corresponding to the upper drum in the display area; or when the first washing drum is the upper drum, responding to a gliding gesture triggered in the display area, and displaying a second operation interface corresponding to the lower drum in the display area.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, in the dual-drum washing machine, if the first washing drum is the lower drum, the second washing drum is the upper drum, and the display area first displays the first operation interface corresponding to the lower drum, when a user wants to switch to control the working process of the upper drum, the user can touch and slide upwards on the display screen, so that the display area can display the second operation interface corresponding to the upper drum, and the user can continue to trigger the second control in the second operation interface to control the working process of the upper drum. In addition, after the working process of the upper barrel is switched to be controlled, if the user wants to switch to control the working process of the lower barrel again, at this time, the user can touch and slide downwards on the display screen, so that the first operation interface corresponding to the lower barrel can be displayed in the display area, and the user can continue to trigger the first control in the first operation interface to control the working process of the lower barrel again.
And if the first washing drum is the upper drum, the second washing drum is the lower drum, and the display area firstly displays the first operation interface corresponding to the upper drum, at this time, when the user wants to switch to control the working process of the lower drum, the user can touch and slide downwards on the display screen, so that the display area can display the second operation interface corresponding to the lower drum, and the user can continue to trigger the second control in the second operation interface to realize the control of the working process of the lower drum. In addition, after the working process of the lower barrel is switched to be controlled, if the user wants to switch to control the working process of the upper barrel again, at this time, the user can touch and slide upwards on the display screen, so that the first operation interface corresponding to the upper barrel can be displayed in the display area, and the user can continue to trigger the first control in the first operation interface to control the working process of the upper barrel again.
In other embodiments, the operation interface switching gesture may also be a gesture corresponding to the identification of the laundry drum. Therefore, by responding to the gesture corresponding to the identifier of the washing drum, the operation interface of the washing drum corresponding to the identifier can be correspondingly displayed in the display area.
The identifier of the washing drum may be a position identifier of the washing drum, for example, an upper drum and a lower drum in a double-drum washing machine, an upper drum, a middle drum and a lower drum in a three-drum washing machine, and the identifier of the washing drum may also be a preset serial number identifier of the washing drum, for example, a corresponding number 1 drum and a number 2 drum in a double-drum washing machine. Therefore, the user can touch and draw out the identifiers such as "up" and "down", or "1" and "2", and the like on the display screen, so that the second operation interface corresponding to the identifier can be displayed in the display area.
For example, assuming that an upper cylinder of a dual-cylinder washing machine is a number 1 cylinder, a lower cylinder of the dual-cylinder washing machine is a number 2 cylinder, and a first operation interface corresponding to the upper cylinder is displayed in a display area first, when a user wants to switch to a second operation interface corresponding to the lower cylinder, a gesture of "2" may be scribed in the display area, so that the washing machine may display the second operation interface corresponding to the lower cylinder in the display area in response to the switching gesture, and thus the user may trigger a second control in the second operation interface to realize control of a working process of the lower cylinder.
In other embodiments, the operation interface switching gesture can also be pre-entered by the user according to the use habit of the user. For example, the user may enter a gesture of a circle and a wave line, respectively, instead of the function of the up-slide gesture or the down-slide gesture mentioned in the previous embodiments.
In other embodiments, the operation interface switching operation may also be implemented in a voice manner. In this case, in response to the operation interface switching operation, displaying the second operation interface in the display area may include the steps of: and responding to the collected preset audio, and displaying a second operation interface corresponding to the preset audio in the display area.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, when a user needs to switch to the second operation interface, the user can make a preset sound near the washing machine, so that the washing machine can collect the preset audio, and switch the first operation interface to the second operation interface in response to the collection of the preset audio.
Illustratively, the preset audio may be "switch to the second operation interface", "switch the operation interface", or "switch to the upper barrel", or the like. The preset audio is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
And S440, responding to a second control switching operation triggered in the display area, so that a second control in the second operation interface moves, and after the second control switching operation is stopped, at least one second control in the second operation interface is updated to be a new second control.
The second control switching operation refers to an operation for performing mobile switching on a second control in a second operation interface.
Similarly, the second control switching operation may be a left-slide or right-slide operation.
It should be noted that the first control switching operation is initiated in the first operation interface. The second control switching operation is initiated in the second operation interface.
For more detailed description of the second control switching operation, reference may be made to the description process of the first control switching operation, which are similar to each other and are not described herein again.
By adopting the method, the first control in the first operation interface can be moved in response to the first control switching operation triggered in the display area, and the second control in the second operation interface can be moved in response to the second control switching operation triggered in the display area, so that the control which is not currently displayed in the operation interface can be moved to the operation interface for display, and more control controls can be displayed under the condition of saving the setting area of the touch display screen.
In addition, it is considered that when the user uses the washing machine, the user may not be able to quickly and accurately distinguish which washing drum corresponds to the operation interface currently displayed in the display area, thereby reducing the control efficiency of the user on the working process of the washing drum. Therefore, the user can be informed of which washing drum the operation interface displayed in the current display area is directed to by different prompt messages. In this regard, in some embodiments, the first operation interface may include a first display element for indicating that the first laundry drum is in control, and the second operation interface includes a second display element for indicating that the second laundry drum is in control, the first display element and the second display element being two different display elements of the same kind of display element.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first display element indicating that the first washing drum is controlled is set in the first operation interface, so that when the user sees the first display element, the user can quickly know that the first washing drum is currently controlled, that is, the operation interface displayed in the current display area is for the first washing drum. Similarly, the second display element indicating that the second washing drum is controlled is arranged in the second operation interface, so that when the user sees the second display element, the user can quickly know that the second washing drum is currently controlled, namely the operation interface displayed in the current display area is specific to the second washing drum.
Wherein the category of the display element comprises a color of the display area or a wash tub prompt identifier. The color of the display area may be a background color of the display area, or a color of content displayed by the display area, or a color of a barrel indicator light of the display area, or the like.
When the category of the display element includes the color of the content displayed by the display area, the display content may be displayed in a red font in the first operation interface and in a green font in the second operation interface, for example.
When the category of the display element includes the laundry drum alert identification, for example, the number 1 may be displayed in the first operation interface and the number 2 may be displayed in the second operation interface.
The control method of the multi-drum washing machine according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with a complete example.
