Further, the control device of the additive dispensing device 100 of the present invention is an APP installed on the mobile terminal for controlling the additive dispensing device 100, and the first selection unit 101, the first display unit 107 and the second display unit are disposed on an operation interface of the APP.
The present invention will be described in detail by taking a control device of the additive dispensing apparatus 100 as an example of a control device provided on the body of the additive dispensing apparatus 100.
As shown in fig. 4, the additive dispensing device 100 of the present invention further includes a plurality of dispensing units, each of which is provided with a mounting groove for mounting a liquid storage container storing a cleaning additive. The additive delivery device 100 further comprises a delivery mechanism 102 for pumping wash additive and a delivery waterway 103 for delivering wash additive. The reservoir has a storage chamber for storing a wash additive. The water supply and discharge passage 103 has a water inlet, a feed inlet, and a liquid outlet.
The feed inlet of the water throw-off water channel 103 is communicated with the storage chamber through a pump and is used for sucking the washing and protecting additive from the storage chamber into the water throw-off water channel 103. The water inlet of the water throwing-off water channel 103 is communicated with a water source in the house of a user and is used for water to enter the water throwing-off water channel 103 for washing and diluting the washing and protecting additive. The liquid outlet of the water feeding and discharging passage 103 is communicated with the water inlet of the washing drum of the laundry treating apparatus 200, and is used for introducing the solution mixed with the washing and protecting additive and water into the washing drum to treat the laundry. The liquid storage containers can be replaceable disposable containers or containers for multiple fluid replacement, and each liquid storage container stores one type of washing and protecting additive.
Specifically, different types of washing and caring additives have different components and uses, and users usually buy the corresponding type of washing and caring additives according to the needs of families. Moreover, with the development of chemical technology, there are more and more types of laundry additives suitable for the care of laundry.
Optionally, the types of laundry care additives include various types of detergents, such as general purpose laundry detergents, baby fabric special purpose detergents, silk wool detergents, but also underwear professional detergents, and the like. Various types of builders are also included, such as softeners, bleaches, disinfectants, odorants, color fixatives, softeners, and the like, as shown in fig. 1-3.
The washing and protecting additive is divided from the acid-base aspect and comprises an acid washing and protecting additive, a neutral washing and protecting additive and an alkaline washing and protecting additive.
The wash programs matching the type of the at least one wash additive may include a main wash program and an additional wash program.
The main washing program comprises washing and protecting programs aiming at different fabric materials, such as mixed washing, cotton fabric washing, linen fabric washing, silk fabric washing, wool fabric washing, polyester fabric washing, down jackets and the like; the washing and nursing program for baby fabrics, underwear, shirts and the like aiming at different users can be further included, and the washing and nursing program for rinsing, dewatering, washing and rinsing and the like aiming at different processes can be further included, as shown in figures 1 to 3.
The additional programs include disinfection, sterilization, steam, self-cleaning and other programs for realizing different functions.
Each of the washing programs is related to control parameters of the laundry treating apparatus 200, such as heating temperature, rotation speed, rotation/stop ratio, and operation time.
Different types of laundry additives vary in their suitability for use in laundry care programs. The main control panel 105 of the additive dispensing device 100 is pre-configured with the corresponding relationship between different types of wash additives and different wash programs for activating the wash program matching the selected type of wash additive for selection by the user. Or, the main control board 105 of the additive dispensing device 100 receives the correspondence between different types of laundry additives and different laundry programs sent by the mobile terminal or the cloud, and is configured to activate the laundry program matching with the selected type of the laundry additives for the user to select.
For example, for cotton fabrics, it is strongly alkali resistant but not acid resistant, whereas for silk fabrics, it is not washed with alkali water, suitable for neutral wash additives. If all the washing and protecting additives are found to be alkaline washing and protecting additives after the types of the selected washing and protecting additives are obtained, the activated washing and protecting programs correspondingly matched with the types of the washing and protecting additives can comprise programs such as cotton fabric washing for cotton fabrics or linen fabric washing for linen fabrics, but the silk fabric washing for silk is not activated, as shown in figure 1.
In other words, no selectable wash-and-care program is available in the activated wash-and-care program for the user to select to wash and care the silk fabric. If the user wants to care for silk or wool-like fabrics, the laundry additive suitable for silk fabrics, such as silk detergent, should be replaced, as shown in fig. 2.
If the type of laundry additive selected is only a general purpose type laundry detergent, the washing and care program requiring a special type detergent for sweater, baby fabric, underwear, sweater and the like is not activated, as shown in fig. 3.
In the scheme, the washing and protecting additive and the washing and protecting program are associated, the special liquid special program is realized, and the care effect of the washing and protecting additive on clothes is greatly improved.
In a further scheme, the washing and caring program correspondingly matched with the washing and caring additive is activated and is associated with the information of the washing and caring additive, and the washing and caring additive is timely and quantitatively put in when the activated washing and caring program is operated.
In a further embodiment, the first selection unit 101 includes a plurality of type selection keys 108, each type selection key 108 corresponds to a type of the laundry additive, and the type selection keys 108 receive a selection signal of the type of the laundry additive from the user, as shown in fig. 5.
In detail, by setting the type selection key 108 corresponding to the type of the laundry care additive, the user can operate the type selection key 108 to enable the additive dispensing device 100 to obtain the type of the laundry care additive selected by the user, which is convenient for the user to operate and improves the user experience.
In a further aspect, as shown in fig. 1 to fig. 3, the additive dispensing device 100 further includes a second display unit 109, and the second display unit 109 is connected to the type selection key 108 and is configured to display the type of the laundry additive corresponding to the type selection key 108 when the type selection key 108 is triggered.
In the above scheme, the type of the laundry additive selected by the user is displayed to the user through the second display unit 109, so that the user can clearly see the selected type of the laundry additive at a glance.
In a further scheme, the second display unit 109 includes a plurality of type indicator lights, and the plurality of type indicator lights correspond to the plurality of type selection keys 108 one to one; the type selection key 108 controls the status of the type indicator light for characterizing whether the type of laundry additive corresponding to the type selection key 108 is selected.
In the above solution, the type selection button 108 controls the state of the type indicator light, which is equivalent to that the type selection button 108 is a controller of the type indicator light.
For example, the type selection key 108 controls the type indicator light to be on, indicating that the type of the laundry additive corresponding to the type selection key 108 is selected, and the type selection key 108 controls the type indicator light not to be on, indicating that the type of the laundry additive corresponding to the type selection key 108 is not selected.
Alternatively, the type indicator light may have a different color for indicating whether the type of wash aid corresponding to the type selection button 108 is selected.
In a further scheme, the first display unit 107 includes a plurality of program indicator lamps, and each program indicator lamp corresponds to one washing and protecting program; the second selection unit 106 controls the status of the program indicator light to indicate whether the washing program corresponding to the program indicator light is selected.
In the above scheme, the program selection key controls the state of the program indicator light, which is equivalent to the program selection key being a controller of the program indicator light.
For example, when the user presses one of the type selection keys 108, the type of the laundry care additive corresponding to the type selection key 108 is selected, and then the laundry care program matching with the type of the laundry care additive is activated, the corresponding program indicator is normally on, when the user operates the second selection unit 106, only one laundry care program can be selected between the laundry care programs corresponding to the normally on program indicator and sent to the laundry treatment apparatus 200, at this time, the user operates the second selection unit 106 to control the color change of the program indicator, and then the laundry care program corresponding to the color change program indicator is the laundry care program selected by the user.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the second selection unit 106 is a knob. When the user rotates the knob, the washing programs corresponding to the normally-on program indicator lamps can be switched.
In some other embodiments of the present invention, the second selecting unit 106 is a switch button, and when the user presses the switch button, the user can only switch between the washing programs corresponding to the normally-on program indicator.
The communication unit 104 in the above scheme is a wired or wireless communication module. For example, the additive dispensing device 100 is connected to the laundry treating device 200 in a wired communication manner such as 232 or 485, so as to realize real-time information interaction; or the additive dispensing device 100 is directly wirelessly connected with the laundry treating device 200 through the bluetooth mode without the aid of a network.
In other embodiments of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, the control device of the additive dispensing device 100 can automatically determine whether the remaining amount of the laundry additive in the liquid reservoir is sufficient, when the remaining amount of the laundry additive in the liquid reservoir is sufficient, the type indicator corresponding to the type of the laundry additive is illuminated and displayed in a color, and when the user operates the type selection button 108, the type indicator changes color to indicate that the laundry additive is selected by the user, indicating that the user wants to automatically dispense the laundry additive in the laundry program.
In detail, the control device of the additive dispensing device 100 is further provided with a processing unit for determining whether the remaining amount of the detergent additive in the reservoir is sufficient for use.
When the processing unit determines that the residual amount of the washing and protecting additive in the liquid storage container is enough to be used, a signal that the washing and protecting additive of the type is available is sent out, the main control panel 105 can obtain the signal, and then the type indicator lamp is controlled to be lightened and displayed to be a color for a user to select.
Further, the processing module comprises a metering module for recording the adding amount of the washing and protecting additive in the liquid storage container; and/or the detection module is used for detecting the residual amount of the washing and protecting additive in the liquid storage container; and the judging module is connected with the metering module and/or the detecting module and is used for judging whether the residual quantity of the washing and protecting additive in the liquid storage container is enough to use or not.
In detail, the metering module records the amount of the washing and protecting additive in the liquid storage container every time and superposes the amount of the washing and protecting additive every time; and when the numerical value obtained after the adding amount of the liquid storage container is superposed each time does not reach a preset value, determining that the residual amount of the washing and protecting additive in the liquid storage container is enough.
