Detailed Description

In order that the above-recited objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings and appended detailed description. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, however, the present invention may be practiced otherwise than as described herein, and therefore the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

A control method of a laundry treating apparatus, a laundry treating apparatus 600, and a computer-readable storage medium provided according to some embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to fig. 1 to 8.

An embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a control method of a laundry treating apparatus.

Embodiment one:

as shown in fig. 1, a first embodiment provides a control method of a laundry treating apparatus, comprising:

102, acquiring bacterial amount data of at least two different moments;

step 104, determining the sterilization effect information according to the bacteria amount data;

and step 106, outputting the sterilization effect information.

Further, the sterilization washing method may be, for example, high-temperature steam sterilization, ultraviolet sterilization, sterilization with a sterilizing liquid, or the like. The at least two different moments may in particular be moments during the aseptic washing process.

It can be understood that when the clothes treatment device adopts a conventional washing mode to wash clothes, the bacteria amount data can be detected and the sterilization effect information can be output, so that a user can know the cleaning condition of the clothes conveniently, and the user can compare the sterilization effect difference between the conventional washing mode and the sterilization washing mode.

Further, the bacteria amount data may directly acquire bacteria amount data of the laundry surface. At this time, the time of acquiring the bacterial load data should include at least the time before or at the start of washing in order to acquire the initial bacterial load data before the laundry is washed. In addition, the time of acquiring the bacteria amount data may further include a time after the washing is completed so as to acquire final bacteria amount data, and the sterilization effect information of the laundry treating apparatus may be more accurately determined through the initial bacteria amount data and the final bacteria amount data.

Further, in outputting the sterilization effect information, the output mode may specifically be display by a display means.

Further, when the sterilization effect information is output, the voice broadcast sterilization effect information can be output through the audio device. Specifically, the sterilization effect information may be sent to a mobile terminal associated with the laundry treatment apparatus, specifically, may be directly sent to the mobile terminal under the same lan, or may be sent to a server, and may be sent to the mobile terminal by the server.

Further, for the embodiment of sending the sterilization effect information to the mobile terminal, the sterilization instruction or the rinsing instruction fed back by the user through the mobile terminal can be received, the sterilization program is executed when the sterilization instruction fed back by the user is received, and the rinsing program is executed when the rinsing instruction fed back by the user is received. That is, after the user views the sterilization effect information on the mobile terminal, if the sterilization effect is not satisfied, the laundry treating apparatus may be remotely controlled to further perform the sterilization process or the rinsing process, so as to achieve flexible control of the laundry treating apparatus.

Embodiment two:

on the basis of the first embodiment, the second embodiment provides a control method of a laundry treatment apparatus, further defining that the sterilization effect information includes one or a combination of the following: bacteria amount data, degerming rate data; the bacteria removal amount data is the difference value between the bacteria amount data corresponding to the first moment and the bacteria amount data corresponding to the second moment, and the first moment is later than the second moment; the bacteria removal rate data is the change rate of the bacteria amount data corresponding to the first time relative to the bacteria amount data corresponding to the second time.

Further, the sterilization effect information may include any one of bacteria amount data, sterilization amount data, and sterilization rate data. Specifically, the bacteria removal effect information may include only bacteria amount data, and the bacteria amount data may be all bacteria amount data acquired at each time, for example, a change curve of all acquired bacteria amount data, so as to embody a change of the bacteria amount data, and further embody a bacteria removal effect. It is understood that the abscissa of the variation curve corresponds to the acquisition time or washing stage corresponding to the bacterial load data, and the ordinate of the variation curve corresponds to the bacterial load data. Of course, the sterilization effect information may include only the sterilization amount data, and at this time, the sterilization amount data is a difference between the bacteria amount data detected at two different times, and the absolute reduction amount of bacteria can be intuitively displayed by outputting the sterilization amount data. In addition, the sterilization effect information may include only the sterilization rate data, and at this time, the sterilization rate data is a change rate of the bacteria amount data detected at two different times, and by outputting the sterilization rate data, a percentage of bacteria reduction in the washing process, that is, a relative number relationship between a reduced bacteria amount and an original bacteria amount, may be displayed.

Further, in this embodiment, the sterilization effect information may be any two kinds of combination of bacteria amount data, sterilization amount data, and sterilization rate data. For example, the sterilization effect information is any one combination of bacteria amount data and sterilization amount data, sterilization amount data and sterilization rate data, bacteria amount data and sterilization rate data. By outputting any two kinds of combined data as the sterilization effect information, the change of the bacterial amount in the washing process can be displayed in multiple directions, so that a user can know the sterilization capability of the clothes treatment device conveniently.

Further, in this embodiment, the sterilization effect information may be a combination of three data of bacteria amount data, sterilization amount data, and sterilization rate data. The bacteria amount data, the sterilization amount data and the sterilization rate data are all output, so that a user can clearly and directly know the sterilization effect of the clothes treatment device. By outputting the three kinds of combined data as the sterilization effect information, on one hand, the bacteria amount data on the clothes at the current moment is displayed to a user, so that the user can determine whether the sterilization washing needs to be continued or not according to the bacteria amount data on the clothes at the current moment. On the other hand, by temporarily providing the user with the sterilization amount data and the sterilization rate data, the user can intuitively understand the sterilization capability of the laundry treatment apparatus.

It should be noted that the washing program of the laundry treating apparatus generally includes four washing stages of pre-washing, main washing, rinsing, and dehydrating.

In this embodiment, when bacterial load data of three or more washing stages among pre-washing, main washing, rinsing, and dehydrating are acquired, the first time and the second time may correspond to two adjacent washing stages to obtain a sterilizing effect with respect to the previous washing stage. By respectively corresponding the first time and the second time to different washing stages, a user can judge the sterilization capability of different washing stages through the bacterial load data detected at different times. Further, when the sterilization capability of a certain washing stage is stronger than that of other washing stages, the washing stage may be set at least twice when the user washes the laundry with a large amount of bacteria, so as to ensure that bacteria on the laundry can be removed.

Further, in this embodiment, the first time and the second time may also correspond to the current washing stage and the first washing stage to obtain a sterilization effect with respect to the initial washing stage. The first moment and the second moment are corresponding to the current washing stage and the first washing stage, so that the sterilization effect information of the current washing stage and the first washing stage is output, and a user can conveniently know the sterilization capability of the combined washing stages.

Embodiment III:

on the basis of any one of the above embodiments, the third embodiment provides a control method of a laundry treatment apparatus, further defining acquisition of bacterial load data at least two different times, including: bacterial load data for at least two wash stages are obtained.

Further, in this embodiment, the sterilization effect information of each washing stage may be determined by acquiring the bacterial load data of any adjacent two washing stages, for example, the bacterial load data of both the pre-washing and main-washing stages, the bacterial load data of both the main-washing and rinsing washing stages, and the bacterial load data of both the rinsing and dehydrating washing stages, and further by comparing the bacterial load data of two different washing stages, and the sterilization effect information may be outputted to the user so that the user can understand the sterilization capability of each washing stage of the laundry treating apparatus. Further, bacterial amount data of two washing stages including pre-washing and rinsing and bacterial amount data of two washing stages including main washing and dewatering can be obtained, bacterial amount data of two different washing stages are compared, sterilization effect information after combination of the two washing stages is determined, and sterilization effect information is output to a user, so that the user can know sterilization capacity after combination of any two adjacent washing stages, and the user can conveniently determine a washing program of the clothes treatment device again according to actual requirements. Further, the sterilization effect information of the laundry treatment apparatus may be determined by acquiring the bacterial load data of the pre-washing and the dehydration two washing stages, and further by comparing the bacterial load data of the two different washing stages. In addition, by acquiring the bacterial amount data of the pre-washing stage and the dewatering stage and outputting the sterilization effect information to the user, the user can conveniently know the current bacterial amount condition of the clothes, so that the user can determine whether to repeat a certain washing stage or not, so as to continuously sterilize the clothes and further reduce the bacterial amount of the clothes.

Further, in this embodiment, bacterial load data for four wash stages may also be acquired simultaneously to determine the bacteria removal effect information for each stage. Specifically, after the laundry treating apparatus performs the washing course of four washing stages, bacterial load data of the four washing stages may be simultaneously acquired. By simultaneously acquiring bacterial amount data of four washing stages and outputting the sterilization effect information of each stage, the sterilization capability of the clothes processing device can be displayed in a multi-dimensional mode, for example, the sterilization capability of a single washing stage, the sterilization capability of the combined washing stages and the bacterial amount data of clothes at the current moment after the clothes pass through the four washing stages can be displayed at the same time, so that a user can receive multi-dimensional sterilization effect information of the clothes processing device at one time, further a subsequent washing program is determined according to the requirement, and the user is prevented from receiving the sterilization effect information for multiple times, and time and energy are wasted.

Embodiment four:

on the basis of any one of the foregoing embodiments, a fourth embodiment provides a control method of a laundry treatment apparatus, further defining that the control method of the laundry treatment apparatus further includes: and determining whether to execute the rinsing program according to the sterilization effect information.

In one specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the control method of the laundry treating apparatus includes:

step 202, acquiring bacterial amount data of at least two different moments;

step 204, determining the sterilization effect information according to the bacteria amount data;

step 206, outputting degerming effect information;

step 208, judging whether to execute the rinsing program according to the sterilization effect information, executing step 210 when the judgment is yes, otherwise, executing the ending program;

step 210, a rinsing process is performed.

In this embodiment, after the sterilization effect information is determined according to the bacteria amount data, it may be also determined whether to perform the rinsing process according to the sterilization effect information. By determining whether to execute the rinsing program according to the sterilization effect information, the rinsing program can be executed in a targeted manner. On the one hand, when the bacterial load of the laundry has been reduced to the target value, the rinsing process may not be performed any more, thereby reducing unnecessary rinsing and saving the user. On the other hand, when the bacterial amount of the clothes is not reduced to the target value, the rinsing program can be determined to be executed according to the bacterial amount data at the current moment, and the number of times of executing the rinsing program can be further determined, so that the sterilization effect is improved, and the bacterial amount of the clothes is reduced to the target value.

Further, in this embodiment, it may be determined whether to perform the rinsing process before the rinsing stage of the four washing stages of pre-washing, main washing, rinsing, and dehydrating. Of course, it is also possible to determine whether to perform the rinsing process after the rinsing stages among the four washing stages of pre-washing, main washing, rinsing, and dehydrating are completed, so as to determine whether additional rinsing processes are required to be performed after the sequential rinsing. Further, it is also possible to determine whether an additional rinsing process is required to be performed by setting the rinsing process to be performed a preset number of times and after the rinsing process is performed a preset number of times.

Further, in this embodiment, the sterilization effect information includes one or a combination of the following: when the bacteria amount data, the degerming amount data and the degerming rate data are determined according to degerming effect information, whether to execute a rinsing program or not can be determined, and rinsing is not performed when the degerming amount data or the degerming rate data of two adjacent washing stages are smaller than a set value.

In this embodiment, after the sterilization effect information is determined according to the bacteria effect data, it may be also determined whether to perform the rinsing process according to the sterilization effect information. Specifically, it may be determined whether to perform the rinsing process before the rinsing stage of the four washing stages of pre-washing, main washing, rinsing, and dehydrating. Of course, it is also possible to determine whether to perform the rinsing process after the rinsing stages among the four washing stages of pre-washing, main washing, rinsing, and dehydrating are completed, so as to determine whether additional rinsing processes are required to be performed after the sequential rinsing. Further, it is also possible to determine whether an additional rinsing process is required to be performed by setting the rinsing process to be performed a preset number of times and after the rinsing process is performed a preset number of times.

Fifth embodiment:

on the basis of any one of the above embodiments, a fifth embodiment provides a control method of a laundry treatment apparatus, further defining acquisition of bacterial load data at least two different times, including: bacterial load data in the wash effluent at least two different times are obtained.

In this embodiment, by acquiring the bacterial load data in the wash sewage at least two different times, the change condition of the bacterial load can be obtained, and thus the sterilization effect information can be determined. For example, the bacterial load data in the wash sewage at the first time is acquired first, then the bacterial load data in the wash sewage at the second time is acquired, and the change condition of the bacterial load in the wash sewage from the first time to the second time can be determined by comparing the bacterial load data at the first time with the bacterial load data at the second time. Since laundry is washed in washing water, a change in the amount of bacteria in the washing water also indirectly reflects the amount of bacteria in the laundry. Further, the sterilization amount and the sterilization rate of the laundry treatment apparatus to the laundry can be determined by the variation of the bacterial amount in the washing water from the first time to the second time.

Alternatively, the acquiring of the bacterial load data at least two different moments is further defined, comprising: bacterial count data in the air is acquired for at least two different times.

In this embodiment, by acquiring the bacterial amount data in the air at least at two different times, the change condition of the bacterial amount can be obtained, and further the sterilization effect information can be determined. For example, the bacterial amount data in the air at the first time is acquired first, then the bacterial amount data in the air at the second time is acquired, and the change condition of the bacterial amount in the air from the first time to the second time can be determined by comparing the bacterial amount data at the first time with the bacterial amount data at the second time. Since the air circulation speed in the washing chamber is slow when the laundry treatment apparatus is washing, the change of the bacterial amount in the air in the washing chamber also indirectly reflects the change of the bacterial amount of the laundry. Further, the sterilization amount and the sterilization rate of the laundry treatment apparatus to the laundry can be determined by the variation of the amount of bacteria in the air from the first time to the second time.

Alternatively, the acquiring of the bacterial load data at least two different moments is further defined, comprising: bacterial amount data of the surface of the clothing at least two different moments are acquired.

In this embodiment, by acquiring bacterial amount data of the surface of the laundry at least two different times, a change condition of bacterial amount can be obtained, and thus the sterilization effect information can be determined. For example, the bacteria amount data of the surface of the laundry at the first time is acquired first, then the bacteria amount data of the surface of the laundry at the second time is acquired, and the bacteria amount and the bacteria removal rate of the surface of the laundry from the first time to the second time can be determined by comparing the bacteria amount data at the first time with the bacteria amount data at the second time.

Example six:

on the basis of any one of the foregoing embodiments, a sixth embodiment provides a control method of a laundry treatment apparatus, further defining that the control method of the laundry treatment apparatus further includes: receiving a self-checking instruction to obtain bacterial quantity data; determining whether to run the tub self-cleaning program according to the bacteria amount data, or determining whether to output prompt information according to the bacteria amount data to prompt a user to clean the laundry treating apparatus.

In one specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the control method of the laundry treating apparatus includes:

step 302, receiving a washing instruction, and acquiring bacterial amount data of at least two different moments;

step 304, determining the sterilization effect information according to the bacteria amount data;

Step 306, outputting degerming effect information;

step 308, receiving a self-checking instruction and acquiring bacterial load data;

step 310, judging whether to run the barrel self-cleaning program according to the bacterial amount data, executing step 312 when the judging result is yes, otherwise, executing the ending program;

at step 312, a barrel self-cleaning procedure is run.

In another specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, a control method of a laundry treating apparatus includes:

step 402, receiving a washing instruction, and acquiring bacterial amount data of at least two different moments;

step 404, determining sterilization effect information according to the bacteria amount data;

step 406, outputting degerming effect information;

step 408, receiving a self-checking instruction, and obtaining bacterial load data;

step 410, judging whether to output prompt information according to the bacteria amount data to prompt a user to clean the clothes treatment device, executing step 412 when the judgment result is yes, otherwise, executing the ending program;

step 412, outputting the prompt message.

In this embodiment, for the laundry treating apparatus having the tub self-cleaning function, it is possible to determine whether to operate the tub self-cleaning program according to the bacteria amount data. For the clothes treatment device without the self-cleaning function of the barrel, whether to output prompt information can be determined according to the bacteria amount data so as to prompt a user to clean the clothes treatment device by himself.

Further, in this embodiment, when outputting the prompt information, the text prompt information may be output through the display screen. Voice prompt information can also be output through the audio device.

Of course, for the laundry treating apparatus having the tub self-cleaning function, a setting option may be provided to select whether to directly run the tub self-cleaning program or output a prompt message by a user. It will be appreciated that when the user selects to output the prompt, the barrel self-cleaning procedure may be manually initiated as required.

Further, in this embodiment, a bacteria amount data self-checking program of the tub assembly of the laundry treating apparatus may be provided. Specifically, a periodic execution of a self-checking program for the bacterial load data may be set, for example, the self-checking period is one week, the laundry processing device receives a self-checking instruction every 7 days, acquires bacterial load data, and determines whether to run a self-cleaning program for the barreled assembly or whether to output prompt information according to the bacterial load data, so as to prompt a user to clean the barreled assembly of the laundry processing device. Further, the self-checking program of the bacterial amount data can be executed when the accumulated running time reaches a preset value, for example, after the clothes processing device is accumulated and transported for 15 hours, the self-checking instruction is received, the bacterial amount data is obtained, and whether to run the self-cleaning program of the barrel or whether to output prompt information is determined according to the bacterial amount data so as to prompt a user to clean the barrel assembly of the clothes processing device.

It can be understood that when the cumulative operation time length is set for the clothes treatment device and reaches a predetermined value, the bacterial load self-checking program is executed, the cumulative operation time length can be set to be a gradient value, for example, 15 hours, 30 hours and 45 hours of cumulative operation wait, and the operation time length is cleared when the cumulative operation time length reaches a preset operation time length.
