As shown in fig. 2, 3, 6 and 9, the present embodiment provides a method for controlling a laundry treatment apparatus, including:
respectively drawing a first vibration waveform curve and a second vibration waveform curve which change along with time based on the induced voltage signal output by the first probe 1 and the induced voltage signal output by the second probe 2;
and extracting the data characteristics of the first vibration waveform curve and/or the second vibration waveform curve, and analyzing and judging the type of the metal foreign matter according to the data characteristics.
According to the embodiment, the type of the metal foreign matters is analyzed and judged according to the extracted data characteristics of the first vibration waveform curve of the first probe 1 and the second vibration waveform curve of the second probe 2, the control system of the clothes treatment equipment can accurately judge the type of the metal foreign matters and remind a user, the intelligent degree of the clothes treatment equipment is improved, the man-machine interaction capacity is stronger, and the use experience of the user is improved.
Further, with reference to fig. 3 and 9, a time Ta when the second vibration waveform curve falls to the point a at the lowest point is obtained;
extracting a peak voltage Vb when the first vibration waveform curve descends to a b point at the lowest point before Ta time, and calculating a descending value delta V = V0-Vb of a voltage signal at the b point;
and comparing and analyzing the drop value delta V of the voltage signal with preset first judgment data, and judging the type of the metal foreign matter according to an analysis result.
As shown in fig. 3 and 6, the metal components and the total amount contained in different metal articles are different, and the induced voltage caused by the coil is different. And metal objects with larger metal content, such as mobile phones, car keys and key strings, can be distinguished according to the peak-to-valley voltage value of the metal signal b point. The calculation formula is as follows:

The range of the first set value interval at least comprises two or more value intervals, and different value intervals correspond to different types of metal articles.
Because in the clothes throwing process, if metal foreign matters exist in the clothes, the metal foreign matters can cause voltage signal to drop to generate primary fluctuation when passing through the first probe 1, and if the thrown clothes are heavy, the metal foreign matters can impact the inner barrel to cause the inner barrel to shake, so that electromagnetic interference is generated on the metal detection device, and the voltage signal of the first probe 1 can also cause secondary fluctuation. Therefore, the method extracts the descending value of the voltage signal when the first vibration waveform curve descends to the lowest point before the Ta time, and judges the type of the metal foreign matter according to the descending value, so that the interference of shaking caused by the fact that the heavy clothes hit the bottom of the barrel to the metal detection device can be effectively eliminated, and the accuracy of judging the type of the metal foreign matter is improved.
Further, the control method provided by this embodiment further includes: setting the point where the falling edge of the first vibration wave form curve reaches the set voltage threshold value V0 as a point c, and acquiring the slope K of the point bc bc
Respectively comparing the falling value delta V of the voltage signal at the point b with preset first judgment data and slope K bc And comparing and analyzing the data with preset second judgment data, and judging the type of the metal foreign matter according to the analysis result.
Specifically, as shown in table 2 below, in one embodiment, the preset second determination data includes a second preset parameter threshold, and the magnitude and the slope K of the drop value Δ V of the voltage signal and the first preset parameter threshold X1 are determined and compared bc And the size of the second preset parameter threshold value Y1, and deducing the type of the metal object according to the judgment result.

Or, in another embodiment, the preset first determination data includes a first set value interval range, and the preset second determination data includes a second set value interval range, by determining the first set value interval range, K, in which the drop value Δ V of the extracted voltage signal is located bc And the type of the metal object is deduced in the second set value interval range. The second range of the predetermined value interval at least includes two or more value intervals. Through the judgement mode that adopts interval scope, can distinguish the metallic foreign body of judging more quantity, the detection of metallic foreign body type is more comprehensive abundant, more can satisfy user's user demand.
Of course, in the present embodiment, it is not limited to passing only the fall value Δ V and the slope K of the voltage signal extracted before the Ta time bc The two data characteristics are used for judging the type of the metal foreign matter, and T can be used for example bc Data characteristic ratio Q = DeltaV/T bc And judging the type of the metal foreign matter according to the data characteristics.
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.
