The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific cases to those skilled in the art.

Example one

The embodiment provides a display control method of washing equipment, wherein the washing equipment comprises but is not limited to a washing machine and a washing and drying integrated machine. The present embodiment will be described below by taking a washing machine as an example.

As shown in fig. 2 to 6, the washing machine includes a control panel on which a display unit 1 is provided. The display control method comprises the following steps: in the operation process of the washing machine, the display unit 1 can display a plurality of washing stages of the current washing program and the remaining values of the parameters corresponding to the plurality of washing stages.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the multiple laundry stages include soaking, washing, rinsing, and dewatering, and the remaining values of the corresponding parameters are the remaining soaking time, the remaining washing time, the remaining rinsing times, and the remaining dewatering time, respectively.

The control panel is also provided with a plurality of washing stage setting keys 2, including a soaking key, a washing key, a rinsing key and a dewatering key. The plurality of washing stage setting keys 2 are respectively used for different washing stages in the washing program.

After the washing machine is started, a user can set parameters corresponding to the corresponding washing stages by triggering the washing stage setting keys 2, and then the setting of the washing program is completed. The washing machine then starts running by triggering the start/pause key 3 on the control panel to start the washing program. As shown in fig. 2, after the washing program is started, the display unit 1 displays the remaining time period of the currently running washing program in real time.

As shown in fig. 1, the display control method of the present embodiment includes: in the operation process of the washing machine, if a signal that any washing stage setting key 2 is triggered is received, the display unit 1 is controlled to display the residual value of the parameter corresponding to the washing stage corresponding to the triggered washing stage setting key 2.

Further, the washing machine first judges whether the start/pause key 3 is activated before the washing stage setting key 2 is activated.

If the judgment result is no, the display unit 1 is controlled to display the residual value of the parameter corresponding to the washing stage corresponding to the triggered washing stage setting key 2.

If the judgment result is yes, the washing machine is controlled to adjust the set value of the corresponding parameter of the corresponding washing stage according to the signal that the washing stage setting key 2 is triggered.

In the above-mentioned scheme, the washing stage setting key 2 itself has a function of setting parameters corresponding to different washing stages, and also has a function of causing the display unit 1 to display remaining values of the parameters. The washing machine has multiple functions by one key, so that the manufacturing cost of the washing machine is saved. When the set key 2 is triggered in the washing stage, the washing machine needs to first judge the function that the current user wants to realize, and then issues a corresponding control instruction.

Specifically, in the course of the washing program running, the user triggers the washing stage setting key 2 to generally know the running condition of the washing stage. When the user needs to reset the specific parameters of the washing stage, the operation of the washing program is generally suspended and then the operation is performed. Whether the current washing program is suspended is judged by judging whether the start/pause key 3 is triggered, and then the function which should be realized by the washing stage setting key 2 is judged, so that the washing machine is controlled.

In a further scheme of this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, after receiving the signal that the laundry stage setting key 2 is triggered, the washing machine determines the operation process of the laundry stage corresponding to the triggered laundry stage setting key 2.

If the washing stage is running, the display unit 1 is controlled to display the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to the washing stage.

If the washing stage does not start to operate, the display unit 1 is controlled to display the set value of the corresponding parameter of the washing stage.

In the scheme, the washing machine firstly judges the operation process of the washing stage, and for the washing stage which does not start to operate, the residual value of the parameter is also the set value, and the set value of the parameter is directly displayed, so that the operation logic is simplified, and the response speed is improved.

Preferably, when the washing stage corresponding to the washing stage setting key 2 triggered by the user has finished operating, the remaining value displayed by the display unit 1 is controlled to be 0, or a prompt message that the washing stage has finished operating is displayed.

In a further scheme of this embodiment, when the display unit 1 displays the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to a certain washing stage, if the washing machine receives a signal that the washing stage setting key 2 corresponding to the washing stage is triggered again, the display unit 1 is controlled to display the total duration of the remaining washing stages.

In the scheme, the user can obtain the residual value of the corresponding parameter of the corresponding washing stage by triggering any washing stage setting key 2. When a user wants to know the total duration of the remaining laundry stages, the same laundry stage setting key 2 can be triggered again, so that the display content of the display unit 1 can be switched, and the operation is simple.

In another scheme of this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, after the display unit 1 starts to display the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to any laundry stage, if the operation signal of the user is not received within the preset time period, the display unit 1 is controlled to display the total time period of the remaining laundry stages.

In the above scheme, the display unit 1 can automatically switch the display content after the preset time length, and the remaining time length of the washing program is restored to be displayed, so that the washing machine is more convenient.

The display control method of the present embodiment will be specifically described below with reference to fig. 2 to 6.

After the user triggers the start/pause key 3 to start the washing program, the display unit 1 displays the remaining duration of the currently running washing program in real time. As shown in fig. 2, the present washing program is being operated, and the display unit 1 displays that the remaining time period of the washing program is 53 minutes.

As shown in fig. 3, the user triggers the "soak" key, the washing machine receives a signal that the "soak" key is triggered, and the control display unit 1 displays that the current remaining soaking time is 5 minutes. The display unit 1 starts to display the remaining soaking time and then starts to time, and after the preset time is reached, the display unit 1 is controlled to recover the display content shown in fig. 2.

The user can also continuously trigger a plurality of different washing stage setting keys 2, thereby controlling the display unit 1 to continuously display the remaining values of the parameters corresponding to different washing stages.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, after the user triggers the "soak" key, the display unit 1 displays that the current remaining soaking time is 5 minutes.

At this time, as shown in fig. 4, the user triggers the "wash" key, the washing machine receives a signal that the "wash" key is triggered, and the control display unit 1 displays that the current remaining washing time period is 20 minutes.

Thereafter, as shown in fig. 5, the user triggers the "rinse" key, the washing machine receives a signal that the "rinse" key is triggered, and the control display unit 1 displays that the number of times of the current remaining rinsing is 2.

Then, as shown in fig. 6, the user triggers the "dehydration" key, the washing machine receives the signal that the "dehydration" key is triggered, further determines that the dehydration stage does not start to operate, and controls the display unit 1 to directly display the set dehydration time length as 9 minutes.

In the above process, the display unit 1 starts to time after displaying the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to any washing stage, and controls the display unit 1 to recover to the display content shown in fig. 2 if no operation signal of any user is received within the preset time.

In this embodiment, the washing device can display the remaining values of the parameters corresponding to the different washing stages through the display unit 1 during the operation process, so that the user can conveniently know the operation or setting conditions of the different washing stages after the washing program is started. The existing washing stage setting key 2 on the washing equipment is used as a trigger switch for controlling the display unit 1 to display the parameter residual value, only the control logic of the washing equipment is changed, one-key multi-purpose is realized, and the manufacturing cost of the washing equipment is saved. The user selects the washing stage which the user wants to know by triggering the washing stage setting key 2, and then controls the display of the display unit 1, so that the user experience is good.

Example two

As shown in fig. 7 to 11, the washing machine includes a control panel on which a display unit 1 is provided and a washing stage display key 4 is further provided. The display control method of the washing machine comprises the following steps: in the operation process of the washing machine, if a signal that the washing stage display key 4 is triggered is received, the display unit 1 is controlled to sequentially display a plurality of washing stages in the currently-operated washing program and the remaining values of the parameters corresponding to the plurality of washing stages according to the operation sequence of the plurality of washing stages.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the multiple laundry stages sequentially include soaking, washing, rinsing, and dewatering according to the operation sequence, and the remaining values of the corresponding parameters are the remaining soaking time, the remaining washing time, the remaining rinsing times, and the remaining dewatering time, respectively.

After the user starts the washing machine and finishes the setting of the washing program, the washing program is started by triggering the start/pause key 3 on the control panel, and the washing machine starts to run. As shown in fig. 7, after the washing program is started, the display unit 1 displays the remaining time period of the currently running washing program in real time. When the user triggers the laundry stage display key 4, as shown in fig. 8 to 11, the display unit 1 sequentially displays a plurality of laundry stages and remaining values of parameters corresponding thereto.

In a further scheme of this embodiment, the display unit 1 displays each washing stage in sequence from an initial washing stage of a currently running washing program, that is, sequentially displays the soaking and remaining soaking time, the washing and remaining washing time, the rinsing and remaining rinsing times, and the dewatering and remaining dewatering time.

Preferably, the washing machine judges the operation progress of each washing stage, and for the washing stage which has completed the operation, the remaining value displayed by the display unit 1 is 0, or the prompt message that the washing stage has completed the operation is displayed.

Or, the display unit 1 displays the unfinished washing stage and the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to the unfinished washing stage with a first brightness, and displays the washing stage which has finished running with a second brightness different from the first brightness.

In the above scheme, the display unit 1 displays all the washing stages in the current washing program in sequence according to the operation sequence of the washing stages, and completely displays the operation process of the whole washing program. The display unit 1 displays the laundry stages which are finished to operate and the laundry stages which are not finished to operate in different modes, so that a user can distinguish the operation process of the current laundry program more intuitively.

In another aspect of the present embodiment, the display unit 1 sequentially displays the remaining washing stages from the washing stage currently in operation. The display unit 1 displays the washing stages and the remaining values of the parameters corresponding to the washing stages, mainly to help the user to know the operation progress of the current washing stage and the setting parameters of the following washing stage, and the display effect on the washing stage which has finished operating is not large. The display unit 1 skips the washing stage in which the operation is completed without displaying, and can complete the display of one turn more quickly while sufficiently satisfying the user's demand.

Preferably, each washing stage has a preset display time length T, and after receiving a signal that the washing stage display key 4 is triggered, the washing device compares the remaining time length T of the washing stage currently running with the display time length T. If T is less than T, the display unit 1 is controlled to skip the current running washing stage, and the rest washing stages are displayed in sequence from the next washing stage.

In the above scheme, when the remaining time T of the currently running laundry stage is less than the display time T, the display unit 1 is controlled to skip the laundry stage, so as to avoid the situation that the laundry stage is finished and the display unit 1 still displays the laundry stage, which causes misunderstanding of a user.

In a further scheme of this embodiment, in the process that the display unit 1 displays the laundry stage and the remaining values of the corresponding parameters, if the washing device receives a signal that the laundry stage display key 4 is triggered again, the display unit 1 is controlled to display the total duration of the remaining laundry stage.

In the scheme, the user controls the display unit 1 to sequentially display different washing stages and the residual values of the corresponding parameters by triggering the washing stage display key 4. When the user wants to know the total duration of the remaining laundry stages, the laundry stage display key 4 can be triggered again, the switching of the display content of the display unit 1 is realized, and the operation is simple.

In another scheme of this embodiment, after the display unit 1 completes the display of the remaining values of the plurality of washing stages and the corresponding parameters in N rounds, the display unit 1 is controlled to display the total duration of the remaining washing stages. Wherein N is a set value.

In the above scheme, N is preferably set to 1 to 3 times, and can be adjusted by the user according to personal habits. The display unit 1 can automatically switch display contents after finishing a plurality of turns of display, and the display of the remaining duration of the washing program is recovered, so that the washing machine is more convenient.

As shown in fig. 7 to 11, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the control panel is further provided with a plurality of laundry stage setting keys 2 having a display function, which specifically include a "soak" key, a "wash" key, a "rinse" key, and a "dehydration" key, and correspond to the soak stage, the wash stage, the rinse stage, and the dehydration stage in the laundry program in sequence.

When the washing stage display key 4 is activated, only the remaining values of the parameters are displayed on the display unit 1. When the display unit 1 displays the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to any washing stage, the corresponding washing stage setting key 2 is controlled to be highlighted.

Specifically, when the display unit 1 displays the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to a certain washing stage, the corresponding washing stage setting key 2 is controlled to display at the third brightness, and the other washing stage setting keys 2 are controlled to display at the fourth brightness. Wherein the third brightness is different from the fourth brightness. Preferably, the third luminance is higher than the fourth luminance. Preferably, only the corresponding washing stage setting key 2 is lighted up for display, and the other washing stage setting keys 2 are not lighted.

In another scheme, when the display unit 1 displays the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to a certain washing stage, the corresponding washing stage setting key 2 is controlled to flash.

In the scheme, the display function is added by using the existing washing stage setting key 2 on the washing machine, the currently displayed washing stage is highlighted and informed to a user by controlling the corresponding washing stage setting key 2, only the residual value of the parameter is displayed on the display unit 1, the display interface is more indirect, and the information can be intuitively acquired by the user.

The display control method of the present embodiment will be specifically described below with reference to fig. 7 to 11.

After the user triggers the start/pause key 3 to start the washing program, the display unit 1 displays the remaining duration of the currently running washing program in real time. As shown in fig. 7, the present washing program is being operated, and the display unit 1 displays that the remaining time period of the washing program is 53 minutes.

The user triggers the washing stage display key 4, the washing machine receives a signal that the washing stage display key 4 is triggered, the washing stage that the current washing machine is running is judged to be a soaking stage, and the display content of the display unit 1 is controlled to change as follows:

(1) as shown in fig. 8, the "soak" key flickers on the control panel, and at the same time, the control display unit 1 displays that the current remaining soaking time is 5 minutes, and after a preset display time t, if 5 seconds, the "soak" key stops flickering;
