Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for eliminating foam provided in an embodiment of the present application, which is applicable to eliminating foam generated in operation of a laundry device. The method for eliminating foam provided by the embodiment can be implemented by the device for eliminating foam provided by the embodiment of the application, and the device can be implemented in a software and/or hardware mode and is integrated in a laundry device for executing the method. Preferably, the laundry device in the embodiment of the present application may be a washing machine or the like.

Referring to fig. 1, the method of the present embodiment includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

s110, determining the foam grade of foam in an inner barrel of the washing equipment when the washing equipment works.

Optionally, a probe is provided in the laundry device for detecting suds data in the inner tub. After the probe acquires the foam data, the foam data is analyzed to obtain the foam grade.

If the probe is used for detecting foam data for a long time, the phenomena of probe electrolysis and corrosion occur. Preferably, a water level sensor may be provided in the laundry device for detecting an oscillation frequency value of water, determining pressure data in the inner tub according to the oscillation frequency value, and further determining foam data in the inner tub according to the pressure data.

The present application may divide foam data into three levels, such as a first level, a second level, and a third level. The foam data for each level corresponds to a range of data intervals. Wherein the first level is used for indicating that the foam generated by the water in the inner barrel of the washing equipment is seriously excessive in the working process, the second level is used for indicating that the foam generated by the water in the inner barrel of the washing equipment is excessive in the working process, and the third level is used for indicating that the foam generated by the water in the inner barrel of the washing equipment is less in the working process.

And S120, when the foam grade is a preset grade, determining the current running program of the washing equipment.

The preset level is a first level or a second level. The operation program of the laundry apparatus includes a washing program or a rinsing program.

In the embodiment of the application, when the foam grade is the third grade, the foam generated by the water in the inner barrel is less in the working process of the washing equipment, and defoaming treatment is not needed, so that the operation of determining the current running program of the washing equipment is not needed.

When the foam grade is the first grade or the second grade, defoaming treatment is required for the foam. Prior to the defoaming process, the current operating program of the laundry appliance needs to be determined. The specific execution process of the defoaming treatment is required to be determined according to the current running program of the laundry equipment, that is, the running program is different, and the specific execution process of the defoaming treatment is also different.

S130, defoaming treatment is carried out on the foam in the inner barrel based on foam grade and defoaming treatment rules corresponding to the operation program.

Specifically, when the operation program is a rinsing program, defoaming treatment is performed on foam in the inner tub based on foam grade and defoaming treatment rules corresponding to the operation program, including: modifying the rinsing parameters of the rinsing stage based on the foam grade to obtain target rinsing parameters; a rinsing program is performed based on the target rinsing parameter. Wherein, the rinsing parameters comprise rinsing times, rinsing water level and rinsing rotation stop ratio.

Determining a rinsing water level increasing value corresponding to the foam grade, and increasing the rinsing water level increasing value to obtain a target rinsing water level, wherein when the foam grade is the first grade, the current foam is seriously excessive, and the rinsing water level increasing value can be 20cm; when the foam level is the second level, indicating that the current foam is excessive, the rinse water level increase value may be 10cm. The target rinse stop ratio corresponding to the suds level is determined, and the rinse stop ratio is adjusted to the target rinse stop ratio to obtain a target rinse parameter, and the target rinse stop ratio may be 55rpm_55_5 (indicating that the rpm is 55, 55 seconds, 5 seconds).

The advantage of this arrangement is that when excessive or severe suds is detected, the number of rinsing times is automatically increased, and the rinsing water level in all rinsing processes is increased, and the rinsing spin-stop ratio is increased to 55rpm_55_5, so as to rapidly agitate the residual laundry detergent in the laundry. Optionally, the foam level may be continuously detected during the rinsing process until the generated foam is rinsed clean.

Further, the laundry appliance comprises a heating assembly, such as a heating plate; before the foam in the inner barrel is subjected to defoaming treatment based on the defoaming treatment rules corresponding to the foam grade and the operation procedure, the foam defoaming treatment method further comprises the following steps: detecting whether water in an inner tub of the washing apparatus is in a heating stage; if yes, the heating component is controlled to stop heating the water in the inner barrel. Wherein the heating stage refers to a process of heating water in an inner tub of the laundry device.

Further, after defoaming treatment is performed on the foam in the inner tub based on the defoaming treatment rule corresponding to the foam grade and the operation program, the method further includes: determining again a foam level of the foam in the inner tub of the laundry device; when the foam grade is the third grade, the foam generated by the water in the inner barrel is less when the washing equipment works, at the moment, the heating component (such as the heating disc) is controlled to resume heating the water in the inner barrel, and the washing equipment is controlled to continue executing the running program.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment, when the washing equipment works, the foam grade of foam in the inner barrel of the washing equipment is determined; when the foam grade is a preset grade, determining the current running program of the washing equipment; and defoaming the foam in the inner barrel based on the foam grade and a defoaming treatment rule corresponding to the running program.

Wherein the foam grade is a first grade and the operating program is a washing program.

Referring to fig. 2, the method of the present embodiment includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

s210, controlling a water draining mechanism of the washing equipment to be opened so as to drain water in the inner barrel.

In the embodiment of the application, during the process of executing a washing program by the washing equipment, the detected foam grade is the first grade, which means that the foam generated by the water in the inner barrel during the working of the washing equipment is seriously excessive, and a foam flushing process is needed to be added in the washing process. The working time sequence is as follows: first, controlling the opening of the draining mechanism of the washing equipment to drain the water in the inner tub. Because the foam in the inner barrel is seriously excessive, the vent holes are tightly closed, so that the pressure in the barrel is larger, and the water draining mechanism is opened, so that the effect of reducing the pressure in the barrel can be achieved.

Alternatively, the drain mechanism may be a drain pump.

S220, after the first preset time, controlling a water inlet valve of the washing equipment to be opened, and injecting water into the inner barrel according to a preset water injection mode.

In the embodiment of the present application, in the second step, after the water in the inner tub of the laundry device is drained for a first preset time (for example, two seconds), the water inlet valve of the laundry device is controlled to be opened, and water injection into the inner tub is started. The water injection process can be performed according to a preset water injection mode, for example, ten seconds of water is injected into the inner barrel, and then five seconds of water is suspended.

And S230, after the water injection is finished, controlling the water discharging mechanism to be closed for a second preset time.

In the third step of this embodiment of the present application, after the water is injected into the inner tub according to the preset water injection manner, the water draining mechanism is controlled to be closed for a second preset time (for example, three seconds).

S240, after the second preset time, repeatedly executing the operation of controlling the water draining mechanism of the washing equipment to be opened so as to drain the water in the inner barrel until the repeated execution times reach the preset times.

In the fourth step of the embodiment of the present application, the operations of steps S210 to S230 are repeatedly performed until the number of times of repeated execution reaches the preset number of times (for example, five times), and it is considered that the inner tub has less foam at this time.

Alternatively, after each of the operations of steps S210 to S230 described above is performed, the foam level of the foam in the inner tub is again detected, and if the foam level is the first level or the second level, the operations of steps S210 to S230 are again repeated until the third level is detected.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment, the water draining mechanism of the washing equipment is controlled to be opened so as to drain water in the inner barrel; after a first preset time, controlling a water inlet valve of the washing equipment to be opened, and injecting water into the inner barrel according to a preset water injection mode; after water injection is finished, controlling the water draining mechanism to be closed for a second preset time; after the second preset time, repeatedly performing an operation of controlling the drain mechanism of the laundry device to be opened to drain the water in the inner tub until the number of repeated executions reaches a preset number. The foam in the inner barrel of the washing machine can be effectively eliminated, and the use experience of a user on the washing machine is improved.

The method for eliminating foam provided by the embodiment of the invention is further described below, and fig. 3 is a schematic third flow chart of the method for eliminating foam provided by the embodiment of the invention. The embodiment of the application is optimized based on the embodiment, and is specifically: the present embodiment explains in detail another specific procedure of the defoaming treatment for the above-described step S130 (i.e., the defoaming treatment for the foam in the inner tub based on the foam grade and the defoaming treatment rule corresponding to the operation program). Wherein the foam grade is a second grade and the operating program is a washing program.

Referring to fig. 3, the method of the present embodiment includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

s310, recording an initial washing rotation stop ratio of a motor of the washing equipment, and adjusting the initial washing rotation stop ratio to be a target washing rotation stop ratio.

In the embodiment of the application, the detected foam level is the second level in the process of executing the washing program of the washing equipment, which means that the foam generated by the water in the inner barrel is excessive in the working process of the washing equipment, and the foam needs to be eliminated by changing the rotation stop ratio of the motor in the washing process. The working time sequence is as follows: first, an initial washing spin-stop ratio of a motor of the laundry apparatus is recorded, and the initial washing spin-stop ratio is adjusted to a target washing spin-stop ratio, wherein the target washing spin-stop ratio may be 30rpm_5_55 (indicating a rotation number of 33 rpm, 5 seconds, and 55 seconds), that is, the motor is controlled to spin down more than less than the first time, so that bubbles in the inner tub are eliminated.

S320, after a third preset time, acquiring the foam grade of the foam in the inner barrel.

In the embodiment of the present application, in the second step, after the motor is controlled to operate for a third preset time (e.g., three minutes) with the target washing turning-stopping ratio, the foam level of the foam in the inner tub is detected again, and if the foam level is the third level, the operation of step S330 is performed; if the foam level is still the second level, the operation of step S340 is performed.

S330, if the foam grade is the third grade, the washing rotation stop ratio of the motor is restored to the initial washing rotation stop ratio.

In this embodiment of the present application, if the foam level of the foam in the inner tub is detected as the third level, it indicates that the laundry apparatus generates less foam in the inner tub during operation, indicating that the defoaming treatment of the foam has been successful through the above step S310. Therefore, the washing rotation stop ratio of the motor is restored to the initial washing rotation stop ratio, and the washing equipment is controlled to continue to execute the washing program.

And S340, if the foam grade is still the second grade, controlling the motor to stop rotating for a fourth preset time.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the foam level of the foam in the inner tub is detected as the second level, it indicates that the laundry apparatus is in operation that the foam generated by the water in the inner tub is excessive, indicating that the defoaming treatment of the foam has failed through the above step S310. Thus, the motor is controlled to stop rotating for a fourth preset time (e.g., five minutes) to eliminate the foam in the inner tub.

And S350, after the fourth preset time, controlling the motor to start, and repeatedly performing the operation of adjusting the initial washing rotation stop ratio to the target washing rotation stop ratio.

In this embodiment, after the motor is controlled to stop rotating for a fourth preset time (e.g., five minutes), the motor is controlled to start again, so that the motor is operated again at the target washing rotation stop ratio (e.g., 30rpm_5_55), and the above-mentioned operations of steps S310 to S340 are repeated in this cycle, until the level of the foam is detected as the third level.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment, the initial washing rotation-stop ratio of the motor of the washing equipment is recorded, and the initial washing rotation-stop ratio is adjusted to be the target washing rotation-stop ratio; after a third preset time, acquiring the foam grade of the foam in the inner barrel; if the foam grade is the third grade, the washing rotation stop ratio of the motor is restored to the initial washing rotation stop ratio; if the foam grade is still the second grade, controlling the motor to stop rotating for a fourth preset time; after the fourth preset time, the motor is controlled to be started, and the operation of adjusting the initial washing stop ratio to the target washing stop ratio is repeatedly performed. The foam in the inner barrel of the washing machine can be effectively eliminated, and the use experience of a user on the washing machine is improved.
