Specifically, after the infrared control module is turned on, the infrared emitting module emits an infrared control signal, and the infrared receiving module receives the infrared control signal to control the external water absorption device 2 to be turned on or off. Specifically, the control board 10 controls the infrared emission lamp 8 to emit the infrared control signal, preferably, in this embodiment, the control board 10 stores information data of the corresponding infrared control signal under each different washing program, and after the external water absorption function is selected, the control board 10 calls the corresponding data according to the selected washing program, where the data specifically includes a time node and/or a frequency for sending the on signal and the off signal, and controls the infrared emission lamp 8 to emit the infrared control signal to the outside of the washing machine body 1 according to the corresponding time node and/or frequency.
Furthermore, the distinguishing manner of the on signal and the off signal can be determined by the difference of the intensity of the infrared rays emitted by the infrared emission lamp 8, or by the difference of the frequency of the emitted infrared rays, which is not limited herein.
After infrared control signal transmission, the infrared ray leads 1 outsidely of washing machine body through leaded light post 9, received by infrared receiver 4, infrared receiver 4 is according to the infrared control signal of receipt, the break-make of circuit between control plug 5 and the jack 6, thereby control external water absorption device 2 and open or close at corresponding time, make external water absorption device 2 can be accurate absorb the washing water for washing machine when washing machine needs intake, whole water intake process need not the manual switch to external water absorption device 2 of user and operates, control infrared emission lamp 8 through control panel 10 and can realize automaticly, intelligent process of absorbing water, very big promotion user's use experience.
As a preferable scheme of this embodiment, the control unit of the washing machine further performs the following steps after receiving a signal that the user selects the external water absorption function:
acquiring clothes information of clothes to be treated, and calculating target water inflow according to the clothes information of the clothes to be treated;
judging whether the water storage capacity of the external water absorption device 2 is not less than the target water inflow, if so, controlling the water absorption pump to be closed after detecting that the actual water inflow of the external water absorption device 2 reaches the target water inflow;
if not, after the water in the external water absorption device 2 is pumped out, the water absorption pump is controlled to be closed, and meanwhile, a water inlet valve of the washing machine is opened.
Specifically, the clothes information at least comprises clothes weight and/or clothes volume and/or clothes material, target water inflow data corresponding to clothes with different weights and/or clothes with different volumes and/or clothes with different materials are stored in the control panel 10, after the external water absorption function is selected, the control panel 10 judges and analyzes the clothes information in the washing tub, corresponding data is called, the infrared emission lamp 8 is controlled to emit an infrared control signal to the outside of the washing machine body 1, the infrared receiver 4 receives the infrared control signal, and the on-off of a circuit between the plug 5 and the jack 6 is controlled according to the received infrared control signal, so that the external water absorption device 2 is controlled to be turned on or turned off at corresponding time, a user does not need to manually operate a switch of the external water absorption device 2 in the water injection process, automatic and intelligent water absorption control can be realized through an infrared control technology, and the use experience of the user is greatly improved.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the present invention.
