FIG. 10 shows a flow chart of a control method for a laundry treatment device according to another specific embodiment of the present application. The control method for the laundry treatment device includes: -
step 802, feeding water and adding a detergent; -
step 804, performing a first lift-up and drop washing process with a rotation speed of 37 revolutions per minute in a washing cycle of 9 on/9off, wherein water is automatically refilled within 2 minutes; -
step 806, performing high-speed drum-rotating washing; -
step 808, performing a second lift-up and drop washing process with a rotation speed of 48 revolutions per minute in a washing cycle of 22 on/5off, wherein water is automatically refilled within 2 minutes; -
step 810, performing high-speed drum-rotating washing; -
step 812, performing a third lift-up and drop washing process with a rotation speed of 52 revolutions per minute in a washing cycle of 18 on/8off, wherein water is automatically refilled within 2 minutes; -
step 814, performing high-speed drum-rotating washing; -
step 816, repeatedly performingstep 804 to step 814 in sequence; -
step 818, discharging water to an empty position; and -
step 820, dewatering, wherein the highest rotation speed is 600 revolutions per minute. - In the embodiment, water-refill monitoring is performed in the lift-up and drop washing phases in the main washing process, and specifically, the operating state of the motor is acquired and the water level of the outer drum is acquired when the motor stops rotating; when the motor stops rotating, whether the water level of the outer drum is lower than the first water level or not is judged; and when the water level of the outer drum is lower than the first water level, the water inlet valve of the laundry treatment device is controlled to open for refilling water, and the motor is kept in the state of stopping in the water refilling process; and when the water level reaches the second water level, the water inlet valve is controlled to close for stopping water refilling, wherein the second water level is greater than the first water level. The control method provided in the present application takes advantage of the phase in which the motor stops rotating in the washing process to detect the water level and refill the water, such that, a separate water-refill washing phase is canceled, reducing the washing time, and moreover, the time period when the motor stops rotating is rationally used, further reducing the washing time, and guaranteeing the washing operation time as much as possible; and in addition, the water level sensing is accurate, avoiding frequent water refilling, thereby effectively improving the washing efficiency and the cleaning effect.
