At present, a camera on the existing clothes treatment equipment can have the risk of leakage of user privacy, and if the user privacy is not treated, the user privacy can be possibly leaked. According to the utility model, the shielding component is arranged, so that the camera is in a shielded state when not started, and the purpose of protecting the privacy of a user is achieved.

To further illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model, the following specific embodiments are provided in conjunction with fig. 1-4.

Example 1

In an embodiment of the present utility model, there is provided a laundry treating apparatus as shown in fig. 1 and 2, including:

a housing 1 in which a laundry treating drum is rotatably provided in the housing 1, the laundry treating drum being formed with a laundry treating chamber;

the door body 2 is rotatably arranged on the shell 1, a clothes putting opening is formed in the shell 1, the door body 2 is rotatably arranged at the clothes putting opening, and when the door body 2 rotates, the clothes putting opening can be opened or closed so as to open or close a clothes treatment cavity formed by the clothes treatment cylinder;

and the camera module 3 is arranged on the door body 2 and is used for collecting images of clothes to be processed. The camera module 3 may be a camera, a video camera, etc., as long as an image of the laundry to be processed can be obtained;

a shielding assembly 4 for placing the camera module 3 in a shielded state when not in use.

According to the embodiment of the utility model, the shielding component capable of shielding the camera module 3 is arranged, so that the camera module 3 can be prevented from stealing the privacy of a user, and the problem of protecting the privacy of the user is solved.

It should be noted that, the above mentioned camera module 3 mounted on the door body 2 may be mounted in the door body 2, outside the door body 2 or in the middle of the door body 2 during the mounting, and in this embodiment, the specific mounting position of the camera module 3 is not limited, so long as the information of the clothes can be collected.

In any of the above embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus further includes:

a controller for controlling the shielding of the camera module 3 by the shielding component 4 according to the opening and closing state of the door body 2 and the clothes information in the clothes treatment cavity;

specifically, when the controller determines that the door body 2 is locked and laundry is contained in the laundry treating drum, the shielding assembly 4 is controlled to release shielding of the camera module 3;

when the controller determines that the door body 2 has been unlocked and/or that there is no laundry in the laundry treating drum, the controller controls the shielding assembly 4 to shield the camera module 3.

Wherein fig. 1 shows the shielding assembly 4 in an open state and fig. 2 shows the shielding assembly 4 in a closed state.

Thus, when a user needs to treat laundry, the door 2 is first opened, the user puts the laundry to be treated into the laundry treating drum, and finally the door 2 is closed.

According to the above, before the door body 2 is closed, the shielding component 4 is always in the closed state and shields the camera module 3, and the camera module 3 cannot collect the image information, so that privacy disclosure of the user can be well avoided. When the door body 2 is closed, the shielding component 4 starts and releases shielding of the camera module 3, the camera module 3 starts to acquire the clothes information in the clothes treatment cylinder, and a corresponding clothes care program is selected according to the acquired clothes information.

As can be seen from the above, the shutter assembly 4 is passively opened according to whether there is laundry in the laundry treating drum and whether the door 2 is closed. However, it should be noted that, in some alternative embodiments, the shielding assembly 4 may be actively opened according to the operation of the user.

Specifically, the camera module 3 and the shielding component 4 are integrally rotatably arranged on the door body 2, and the rotation can be manual rotation by a user or automatic rotation of the camera module 3 and the shielding component 4 by the user through an operation button;

the camera module 3 can be used to acquire images in the laundry treatment drum when both are rotated to the inside of the door body 2, and can be used to acquire images before laundry is put in and/or images after laundry is taken out of the laundry treatment drum after washing is completed when it is rotated to the outside of the door body 2;

in order to avoid leakage of privacy of the user when the camera module 3 faces the outer side of the door body 2, a forced opening/closing key is arranged on the clothes treatment equipment, when the user needs to collect images of clothes to be washed before throwing and/or images of the clothes taken out of the clothes treatment cylinder after the clothes are washed, the camera module 3 can be rotated to face the outer side of the door body 2, and at the moment, if no risk of leakage of privacy exists, the user can manually control the forced opening/closing key to open/release shielding of the camera module 3;

in addition, when the controller determines that the door body 2 has been unlocked and/or that no laundry is present in the laundry treating drum, it is continuously determined whether the forced open/close key is in an open state, if in the open state, by default, the customer has no problem that privacy is compromised, and the controller does not control the shielding assembly 4 to shield the camera module 3.

In the embodiment of the utility model, the camera module 3 and the shielding component 4 are rotatably arranged, and the forced opening/closing key is arranged, so that during actual use, not only the clothes information in the hands of a user but also the clothes information in the clothes treatment cylinder can be collected, the clothes information collection effect is better, and in the mode, when the camera module 3 faces to the outer side of the door body 2, the camera module 3 can be effectively protected due to the arrangement of the shielding component 4, the aging speed of the camera module 3 caused by direct sunlight is prevented from being too high, and the service life of the camera module 3 is prolonged.

In any of the above embodiments, when the controller controls the shielding component 4 to shield the camera module 3, the controller controls the camera module 3 to be powered off;

when the controller controls the shielding component 4 to release shielding to the camera module 3, the controller controls the camera module 3 to be electrified and opened, so that the camera module 3 can be prevented from being opened when the camera module 3 is not used, electric energy is saved, and meanwhile, the camera module 3 can be prevented from being opened for a long time to reduce the service life of the camera module 3.

For a clearer understanding of how the shielding assembly 4 shields the camera module 3, the shielding assembly 4 is described in detail below:

in any of the above embodiments, the shielding assembly includes the shielding sheet 41, wherein the shielding sheet 41 can be driven to perform a rotational motion along a first path or a reciprocating linear motion along a second path to shield the camera module 3 or to unblock the camera module 3.

As shown in fig. 3, when the shielding plate 41 rotates along the first path, the shielding plate 41 is driven by a rotary motor, and specifically, the shielding plate 41 has a fan-shaped shielding plate structure with a shielding plate radius covering the camera. The camera module 3 can be shielded when the rotating motor drives the shielding sheet 41 to rotate.

It should be noted that, when the rotary motor drives the shielding plate 41 to rotate, the shielding plate 41 can be driven to reciprocate, and also can be driven to rotate around the same direction at different angles, for example, when the shielding plate 41 is required to shield the camera module 3, the shielding plate 41 is controlled to rotate anticlockwise by 60 degrees, and when the shielding plate 41 is required to release the shielding of the camera module 3, the shielding plate 41 can be controlled to rotate anticlockwise by 300 degrees. The specific rotation manner of the shutter 41 is not limited in this embodiment.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, when the shielding piece 41 makes a reciprocating rectilinear motion along the second path, the shielding piece 41 may be driven by a direct-push motor, that is, the shielding operation of the camera module 3 may be achieved by driving the shielding piece 41 to make a reciprocating rectilinear motion by the direct-push motor.

In some embodiments, when the shielding plate 41 moves linearly in a reciprocating manner along the second path, the shielding plate 41 may also be driven by a magnetic attraction structure, that is, the magnetic attraction structure is used to drive the shielding plate 41 to move linearly in a reciprocating manner to realize the shielding operation on the camera module 3. Wherein the magnetic structure is similar to the working principle of an electromagnetic valve, and when the camera needs to work, the magnetic structure is started to move the shielding sheet 41 away from the camera; when the camera module is operated, the shielding plate 41 is reset by a spring or a reverse magnetic force.

In the above-mentioned embodiment in which the shutter blade 41 makes a reciprocating rectilinear motion along the second path, in order to make the shutter blade 41 perform better shielding function on the camera module 3, the wider the shutter blade 41 is set, the better the shielding effect is if the shutter blade 41 is set closer to the camera module, but the wider the shutter blade 41 is, the requirements and the cost for the shutter blade 41 pushing device (i.e., the rotary motor, the direct-push motor and the magnetic attraction structure) will also increase correspondingly; under the condition that the shielding effect of the shielding sheet is not affected, in order to reduce the cost of the pushing device of the shielding sheet 41 and increase the service life of the pushing device, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, the shielding sheet is provided with a long-strip-shaped blocking sheet, and vertical ribs 42 are formed on two sides of the shielding sheet; the camera module 3 has a mounting base 31, a rib groove 311 adapted to the vertical rib 42 is formed on the surface of the mounting base 31, the rib groove 311 is formed on a second path of the shielding sheet 41 when the shielding sheet 41 moves in a reciprocating linear motion, and when the shielding sheet 41 moves in a reciprocating linear motion, the two vertical ribs 42 just pass through the two rib grooves on the mounting base 31, so that the shielding effect of the shielding sheet 41 on the camera module 3 is improved. Meanwhile, since the shielding sheet 41 passes through the rib groove 311 on the mounting base 31 when making the reciprocating rectilinear motion, the stability and smoothness of the shielding sheet 41 in motion can also be improved.

It should be noted that, when the camera module 3 and the shielding component 4 are rotatably disposed, both may be disposed on the mounting base 31, and the rotation of the mounting base 31 is driven to drive the two to rotate synchronously.

In any of the above embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus further comprises a display part, wherein the display part may display an operation state of the camera module 3 according to whether the door body 2 is opened and whether laundry is present in the laundry treating drum;

when the door body 2 is opened and/or there is no laundry in the laundry treating drum, the display part displays that the camera module 3 is unavailable in a text or sound manner or displays that the icon of the camera module 3 is grayed out in a picture manner, thereby more intuitively seeing the operation state of the camera module 3.

In any of the above embodiments, the above-mentioned laundry treating apparatus is a drum type washing machine. Different from a common intelligent identification washing machine, the washing machine provided by the embodiment of the utility model has the advantages that the camera is arranged on the washing machine body, and the shielding component 4 for shielding the camera from shooting is arranged on one side of the front end of the camera, so that the camera is in a shielded state when not working, the camera is prevented from revealing the user privacy, and the purpose of protecting the user privacy is achieved.

On the other hand, there is also provided in an embodiment of the present utility model a control method of a laundry treatment apparatus, which is applied to the above-mentioned laundry treatment apparatus, wherein the control method includes:

in the operation laundry identification mode, the system judges whether the apparatus door 2 is closed and whether laundry is contained in the laundry treatment drum;

based on the judgment result, the opening and closing of the shutter member 4 are selectively controlled.

In any of the above embodiments, the step of controlling the opening and closing of the shutter assembly 4 based on the determination result includes:

the shutter assembly 4 may be controlled to close to block the camera module 3 if the door 2 is opened and/or if there is no laundry in the laundry treating drum;

if the door 2 is locked and the laundry treating drum holds laundry, the shielding member 4 may be controlled to be opened to release shielding of the camera module 3.

In any of the above embodiments, the step of controlling the opening and closing of the shutter assembly 4 based on the determination result further includes:

if the door body 2 is locked and the laundry is contained in the laundry treating drum, the shielding component 4 is controlled to be opened after the door body 2 is locked for a preset time T1, that is, after the door body 2 is closed, the shielding component 4 does not immediately release shielding of the camera module 3, and a certain time is given for a user to get away from the laundry treating device, so that the risk of leakage of privacy of the user is further reduced.

It should be noted that the above mentioned shutter assembly 4 may be turned on when the camera module 3 is turned on. For example, an infrared sensor may be disposed on the camera module 3, when the shielding component 4 shields the camera module 3, the infrared sensor may transmit a shielding signal to the controller to control the camera module 3 to be closed, and when the shielding component 4 releases shielding of the camera module 3, the infrared sensor may transmit a non-shielding signal to the controller to control the camera module 3 to be opened. Thereby reducing the risk of revealing the user privacy even further.

In any of the above embodiments, when the shielding component 4 is not opened, the shielding component 4 shields the camera module 3, at this time, the display part on the clothes processing device displays that the camera module 3 is not available or displays that the icon of the camera module 3 turns gray, and when the shielding component 4 is opened, the shielding component 4 releases shielding of the camera module 3. Thereby more intuitively seeing the operation state of the camera module 3.

In any of the above embodiments, the control method further includes:

after the shielding assembly 4 releases the shielding of the camera module 3, the laundry treating drum may be controlled to rotate at a preset rotation speed V1 for a preset period of time T2;

the camera module 3 is in a continuously opened state for a preset period T2 of rotation of the laundry treating drum.

In this embodiment, after the shielding component 4 releases the shielding of the camera module 3, the clothes treating drum is controlled to rotate at the preset rotation speed V1 for the preset time period T2, mainly for further improving the accuracy of the camera module 3 when acquiring the information of the clothes to be treated, because when the user puts in the clothes, the clothes of different types and materials will be mixed between the clothes, if the clothes treating drum is not controlled to rotate, the situation that a plurality of clothes are stacked to cause that part of the clothes are mixed between other clothes and the information of the clothes cannot be acquired easily occurs. In the embodiment, when the camera module 3 collects the information of the clothes, the clothes processing cylinder is controlled to drive the clothes to rotate, so that a plurality of stacked clothes can be effectively scattered, and the information of all the clothes is collected by the camera module 3.

It should be noted that, during the process of collecting the clothes information, the rotation speed of the clothes treating drum should not be too fast, preferably, the rotation speed V1 of the clothes treating drum is controlled to be between 40 and 60R/min, the specific rotation speed can be adjusted according to the parameters of the camera module 3, and the preset duration T2 of the clothes treating drum under the rotation speed V1 is set to be between 30s and 50 s.

It should be noted that, when the camera module 3 is in the on state, it does not continue to perform shooting, and it may perform shooting at intervals according to the control of the controller.

For example, when the rotation speed V1 of the laundry treating drum is set to 50R/min and the laundry treating drum is rotated at the rotation speed V1 for a preset period of time of 40s, the camera module 3 takes a total of 10 pictures every 4s, and determines the type of laundry in the laundry treating drum after data analysis of the pictures.

For another example, the rotation speed V1 of the laundry treating drum is set to 50R/min, the laundry treating drum is rotated at the V1 rotation speed for a preset period of time 40s, the laundry treating drum is operated at a rotation stop ratio of 3s to 1s per rotation, the camera module 3 photographs when the laundry treating drum stops rotating, 10 pieces of the laundry are photographed in total, the kind of laundry in the laundry treating drum is judged after the data analysis of the pictures (the pictures are photographed more clearly by the camera module 3 when the laundry treating drum stops compared with the photographing when the laundry treating drum rotates).

In any of the above embodiments, in the on state of the camera module 3, the control method further includes:

the camera module 3 acquires an image of the laundry to be processed;

determining laundry information of laundry to be treated based on the image;

determining a laundry treatment program based on the laundry information;

the laundry treating apparatus is controlled to run a laundry treating program.

In any of the above embodiments, the camera module 3 is turned off after the laundry treating drum is controlled to rotate at the preset rotation speed V1 for the preset period of time T2;

the laundry treatment apparatus performs a laundry care program determined based on the laundry information.

In the embodiment of the utility model, the camera module 3 is turned off after the laundry treating drum rotates for a preset period of time T2, so that on one hand, electric energy loss caused by long-term opening of the camera module 3 is avoided, on the other hand, short circuit of the camera module 3 when laundry is treated (for example, laundry is washed or laundry is dried) is avoided, and on the other hand, the service life of the camera module 3 can be prolonged by reducing the opening time of the camera module 3.

The foregoing description is only illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and is not to be construed as limiting the utility model, but is to be construed as limiting the utility model to any and all simple modifications, equivalent variations and adaptations of the embodiments described above, which are within the scope of the utility model, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model.
