Detailed Description

Preferred embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can adapt it as desired to suit a particular application. For example, although the description describes the finally determined washing pattern as a search term in connection with the current season information, this is not limitative, but the application can obviously also combine the finally determined washing pattern with one or more other elements to query, for example, can combine the washing pattern with the current weather condition, or can combine the washing pattern, the current season and the current weather, as long as the combination manner can accurately reflect the type of laundry to be washed. Accordingly, the correspondence between the pre-stored washing pattern and the washing program should also include these additional elements for the washing machine to call and query.

As shown in fig. 1, in order to solve the problems of the existing washing machine that the functions are too many, and the user is difficult to select accurately, resulting in uncleanness of laundry or detergent residue, the intelligent operation method of the present application comprises the following steps:

and S01, acquiring identity information of the washing staff.

As a precondition for performing the method of the present application, a plurality of washing programs corresponding to each family member may be stored in advance at a local, cloud or other suitable location of the washing machine. Specifically, in the present application, each different family member is assigned a different identity, each different identity corresponding to a different laundry type and washing pattern, each washing pattern in turn corresponding to one or more washing programs. For example, for a three-generation house, at least four different identities can be divided: elderly, adult males, adult females, children. Accordingly, there may be four different wash modes, namely, an aged mode, an adult male mode, an adult female mode, and a child mode. More specifically, a camera may be provided on a washing machine, for example, a front panel of the washing machine, and when a laundry person walks in front of the washing machine, the camera photographs an image of the laundry person and judges the laundry person as the identity information of the family member according to the image.

Step S02, determining a washing mode corresponding to the identity information of the laundry personnel.

As described above, since each family member has a different identity, each different identity corresponds to a different washing pattern, and accordingly, the corresponding washing pattern can be determined according to the acquired identity information of the family member.

Step S03, judging whether the washing staff selects a washing mode.

As a precondition, a plurality of washing mode buttons corresponding to the identity categories of the family members may be provided on the control panel of the washing machine, for example, four mode touch buttons may be provided on the touch screen of the washing machine: senile mode, adult male mode, adult female mode, and childhood mode. By judging whether the washing personnel actively select the washing mode, the clothes of which family members the washing personnel need to wash at the time can be obtained. If the washing person does not manually select the washing mode, the default-washed laundry is the washing person's own laundry, and if the washing person selects the washing mode, comprehensive judgment is performed according to the washing mode selected by the washing person, which will be specifically analyzed in detail below.

Step S04, determining a final washing program according to the washing mode corresponding to the identity information of the washing staff and the judging result.

As shown in fig. 2, step S04 further includes step S041 and step S042.

In step S041, if the laundry detergent does not select the washing mode, the final washing course is determined directly according to the washing mode corresponding to the identity information of the laundry detergent. Specifically, if the laundry staff does not select the washing mode, it is highly probable that the laundry staff only washes his own laundry at this time, and does not wash the laundry of other family members. At this time, the washing machine directly determines a final washing program according to the washing mode corresponding to the identified identity information, and washes the laundry. For example, if the washing machine determines that the female owner who is a home stands in front of the washing machine according to the photographing result of the camera and based on the image recognition technology, and the female owner does not manually select the other three washing modes, the washing machine determines the final washing course directly according to the adult female mode.

In step S042, if the laundry detergent selects the washing mode, a final washing course is determined according to the washing mode selected by the laundry detergent. That is, since the washing machine can automatically recognize the laundry staff through the camera, the selection of the washing program is performed through the recognition of the laundry staff. Thus, when the laundry detergent does not select the washing mode, the laundry detergent automatically defaults to washing his own laundry. However, if the laundry person selects the washing mode, it is indicated that laundry person washes laundry that is not or not only own laundry, and may include laundry person's own laundry and laundry of other family members. For example, when the laundry detergent is a female owner of a household, when the female owner needs to wash his or her clothes, there is no need to manually select the washing program, and if the female owner washes his or her clothes together with the clothes of other members, there is a need to manually select the washing program. At this time, since the laundry staff selects the washing mode, the final washing course is determined according to the washing mode manually selected by the laundry staff.

In this embodiment, step S042 further specifically includes step S0421 and step S0422. Wherein, in step S0421, if the laundry detergent selects one of the washing modes, a final washing course is determined according to one of the washing modes selected by the laundry detergent. This step is mainly for the case where laundry staff only washes the laundry of another family member. For example, the home female owner holds the home male owner's clothes to wash, at which time she may click on the adult male mode on the control panel, and accordingly, the washing machine will determine the final washing program according to the adult male mode.

In addition, in step S0422, if the laundry person selects a plurality of washing modes, a final washing course is determined according to a mode having the highest priority among the plurality of washing modes. If laundry staff is required to wash laundry of too many kinds, for example, both adult laundry and infant laundry and even elderly laundry are required to be washed, i.e., laundry staff is required to select a plurality of washing modes. At this time, it is necessary to determine how to select the washing course according to the level of priority. The priority may be determined according to a number of different criteria, the simplest of which may be determined according to the washing duration. For example, the laundry for adult men requires a longer washing time than the laundry for adult women, so that if the laundry for adult women and the laundry for adult men are simultaneously washed, the final washing course is preferentially determined according to the adult male pattern. It should be noted that, although the washing time is described as an example, this is not limitative, but the person skilled in the art may adjust the priority according to the need, for example, the priority may be set according to the clothing material of different people, so as to avoid damage to the clothing with fragile material, or may set a dynamic priority, for example, the priority may be adjusted in different seasons, such as determining the priority according to the washing time in winter, determining the priority according to the clothing material in summer, and so on.

Referring now to fig. 3, in the method of the present application described above, the step of "determining the final washing program" specifically comprises the steps of: s043, searching a corresponding washing program from a preset lookup table by taking the finally determined washing mode as a search term. As described above with respect to step S01, as a precondition for performing the method of the present application, each different family member may be given a different identity, each different identity corresponding to a different washing pattern, each washing pattern in turn corresponding to one or more washing programs, and such correspondence between identity information and washing patterns and washing programs may be pre-stored as a mapping data lookup table in a local, cloud or other suitable location. In each washing, after the washing pattern is determined through the previous steps, the finally determined washing pattern may be used as a search term, and a corresponding washing program may be searched from a preset lookup table.

In addition, in the lookup table, each washing pattern may correspond to a plurality of washing programs. For example, each washing pattern corresponds to a plurality of washing programs, each washing program in turn corresponding to a different season. Specifically, the corresponding adult male washing pattern may generate four washing courses according to seasons, which are an adult male spring washing course, an adult male summer washing course, an adult male autumn washing course, and an adult male winter washing course, respectively. More specifically, since people wear laundry in different seasons, the required washing time and the amount of detergent to be placed are different, and thus it is reasonable to distinguish different washing courses according to seasons.

With continued reference to fig. 3, after the final wash program is determined, the method of the present application further includes steps S0432 and S0433. In step S0432, the laundry is weighed and the parameters of the found washing course are adjusted according to the weighing result.

Generally, the more laundry, the more washing water and detergent are required, the more laundry is washed. Determining how much of the garment is by weight is a simple and feasible way. At present, the washing machine determines the weight of clothes through fuzzy weighing, and after the weight is determined, the parameters of the found washing program can be adjusted according to the weighing result. When the parameters are adjusted, not only the washing time but also the detergent adding amount and the washing water amount can be adjusted. Specifically, a large weight and a small weight may be preset, and when the laundry weight exceeds the large weight, the washing time may be prolonged, and the detergent dosage amount and the washing water amount may be increased. In contrast, when the laundry weight is excessively small, the washing time can be shortened, and the amount of detergent added and the amount of washing water can be reduced. Of course, the manner in which the parameters are adjusted described herein is merely an example, and one skilled in the art may vary it according to a specific application scenario.

With continued reference to fig. 3, in step S0433, the user is prompted to increase or decrease the laundry put into the washing machine according to the weighing result.

Specifically, an upper limit weight may be preset, and when the laundry weight exceeds the upper limit weight, the washing machine may prompt the user to reduce the amount of laundry, preventing the laundry from being excessively loaded to affect the washing effect.

Still further, the method of the present application further comprises: step S05, detecting the dirt degree of the clothes in the executing process of the washing program; step S051, and selectively performing a sterilization operation after the washing course is completed according to the detected laundry contamination level. In order to meet the health needs of users, it is also an important step to sterilize the laundry after washing, so that if it is detected that the degree of dirt of the laundry is high during the washing process, the laundry is sterilized after the washing of the laundry is completed. In order to achieve this function, a turbidity sensor may be provided in the washing tub, which can determine the degree of contamination of the laundry by detecting the degree of contamination of the washing water, and determine whether the laundry is to be sterilized and the length of the sterilization time according to the degree of contamination of the laundry. As an example, the turbidity sensor may include a light emission type sensor that determines a degree of contamination thereof by detecting transmittance of the washing water. Of course, this is not limiting and the person skilled in the art can also use other means to detect the degree of soiling of the clothing, as desired, for example in-drum photographing and image contrast.

In summary, the intelligent operation method of the washing machine of the application determines the washing mode by acquiring the information of the washing staff and according to the identity information of the corresponding washing staff, and simultaneously, judges whether the washing staff selects the washing mode or not, thereby determining the final washing program. The method can automatically select the washing program matched with the clothes type without user operation, and can automatically adjust the washing parameters according to the weight of the clothes, thereby avoiding the problems of insufficient washing degree, residual detergent and the like caused by improper selection of the user.

Thus far, the technical solution of the present application has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent modifications and substitutions for related technical features may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present application, and such modifications and substitutions will fall within the scope of the present application.
