  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling pouring of laundry detergent in the present invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a structural connection of a washing machine in the present invention.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
  • The method for controlling pouring of laundry detergent and a washing machine in the present invention will be described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings.
  • A method for controlling pouring of laundry detergent in the present invention includes the following steps: after being started, a washing machine calculates corresponding first pouring amount of the laundry detergent based on acquired information and displays the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent; the washing machine detects and determines a variable of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent to form a second pouring amount of the laundry detergent, the washing procedure is started, and the washing machine pours scrubbing solution at a first pouring amount or a second pouring amount of the laundry detergent.
  • In the method for controlling pouring of laundry detergent in the present invention, a washing machine calculates corresponding first pouring amount of the laundry detergent based on acquired information, and displays the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent, then users can directly obtain the defaulted pouring amount of the laundry detergent of the washing machine, namely, the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent. If users think that the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent cannot satisfy their laundry requirements, they can change the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent to form the second pouring amount of the laundry detergent, after the washing machine starts the washing procedure, the washing machine pours the laundry detergent at the second pouring amount. If users think that the first pouring amount of laundry detergent can satisfy their laundry requirements, they will not change the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent. After the washing machine starts the washing procedure, the washing machine pours the laundry detergent at the first pouring amount defaulted by the washing machine.
  • By adopting the method for controlling pouring of laundry detergent in the present invention, users can select to pour the laundry detergent based on the defaulted pouring amount of the laundry detergent, or can change the pouring amount of the laundry detergent based on requirements, thereby satisfying individual laundry requirements.
  • In addition, by adopting the method for controlling pouring of laundry detergent in the present invention, the pouring amount of the laundry detergent calculated by the computer can be displayed in real time, and a visual reference basis is provided to users.
  • The first pouring amount of the laundry detergent in the present invention is equivalent to the defaulted amount of the existing washing machine with a function of automatic pouring. Therefore, the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent in the present invention is calculated by a computer board of a washing machine based on the acquired washing procedure information, and/or set water level information, and/or clothes smudginess degree information, wherein the washing procedure information and set water level information are often set by users. The first pouring amount of the laundry detergent is calculated by a washing machine voluntarily based on the set information of users and in combination with an internal database, thereby providing a more scientific theoretical basis for users.
  • The clothes smudginess degree information can be set by users and can also be calculated by a computer board of the washing machine after the computer board acquires the clothes type information, clothes material information, clothes weight information and information of the type of smudge on the clothes, wherein information such as the clothes type, clothes material, clothes weight and type of smudge on the clothes can be input into the computer board of the washing machine by users themselves. And corresponding detection sensors can also be arranged in the washing machine to acquire data and transmit the data to the computer board of the washing machine.
  • Clothes smudginess degree in the present invention involves various aspects including the clothes type, clothes material, clothes weight and type of smudge on the clothes. In order to integrate these aspects, a comprehensive judgment database of smudginess degree should be included in the computer board of the washing machine. In the comprehensive judgment database of smudginess degree, such parameters as the clothes type, clothes material, clothes weight and type of smudge on the clothes are respectively corresponding to different values of smudginess degree, and then a total smudginess degree value is got after all the smudginess degree values are superimposed.
  • Therefore, the parameter of clothes smudginess degree is introduced in the present invention. The calculation of the first pouring amount of laundry detergent by the computer is more scientific and is close to the expected value of users easily, thereby reducing the frequency of changing the first pouring amount of laundry detergent by users and improving use experience of users.
  • In the method for controlling pouring of laundry detergent in the present invention, the variable of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent is the increased or reduced pouring amount of laundry detergent set by users, and the computer board of the washing machine detects and judges the increased or reduced pouring amount of laundry detergent and recalculates on the basis of the first pouring amount of laundry detergent to obtain the second pouring amount of the laundry detergent.
  • The variable of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent in the present invention can be a positive value and can also be a negative value. When the variable is a positive value, laundry detergent needs to be increased on the basis of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent, and when the variable is a negative value, laundry detergent needs to be reduced on the basis of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent. This is because the calculation mode of the first pouring amount of laundry detergent is fixed, while actual use conditions are very complex. If the calculation of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent only involves the washing procedure information and/or the set water level information, the laundry requirement of users cannot be satisfied. For example, when set at the same water level with the same washing procedure, winter clothes usually require more laundry detergent than summer clothes, while the washing machine cannot change the calculation method of the first pouring amount of laundry detergent along with the change of seasons. Therefore, users may reduce a certain amount of laundry detergent when washing summer clothes, and correspondingly increase a certain amount of laundry detergent when winter clothes are washed.
  • Therefore, by adopting the method for controlling pouring of laundry detergent in the present invention, users can pour the laundry detergent from the reality, they can not only increase the laundry detergent on the basis of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent, but also reduce the amount of the laundry detergent, so as to satisfy the laundry requirement of users.
  • It can be seen from the above content that the variable of the first pouring amount of laundry detergent in the present invention depends on the clothes smudginess degree to a great extent. Therefore, the variable of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent in the present invention is determined by users based on the clothes smudginess degree and the first pouring amount of laundry detergent displayed on the washing machine:
  • when the variable of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent is a positive value, the pouring amount of the laundry detergent is increased on the basis of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent to form the second pouring amount of the laundry detergent; and
  • when the variable of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent is a negative value, the pouring amount of the laundry detergent is reduced on the basis of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent to form the second pouring amount of the laundry detergent.
  • The clothes smudginess degree is set by users themselves, and the variable of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent is also determined by users based on their own experiences and in combination with the displayed first pouring amount value of laundry detergent. Then users can obtain the pouring amount of laundry detergent satisfying their psychological requirements, and individual laundry requirements of users are satisfied.
  • The first pouring amount of laundry detergent in the present invention may also directly satisfy the laundry requirements of users, then the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent does not need to be changed, the variable of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent at this time is zero and users do not increase or reduce the pouring amount of the laundry detergent any more. The computer board of the washing machine does not change the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent, and the second pouring amount of the laundry detergent is the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent.
  • As another preferred implementation manner of the present invention, the variable of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent in the present invention can also be calculated by the computer board of the washing machine based on the acquired clothes type information, clothes material information, clothes weight information and information of the type of smudge on the clothes in combination with the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent displayed on the washing machine.
  • This manner is applicable to the condition that users are not satisfied with the displayed first pouring amount of the laundry detergent, but cannot determine the pouring amount of laundry detergent to be increased or reduced. At this time, such information as the clothes type, clothes material, clothes weight and the type of smudge on the clothes is required to be input into the computer board of the washing machine, and the computer board of the washing machine can determine a proper pouring amount of laundry detergent again based on these parameters, namely, the second pouring amount of the laundry detergent. The variable of the first pouring amount of laundry detergent is equal to the difference of the two values. It should be noted that the calculation of the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent in this manner does not involve the clothes smudginess degree, and only involves the washing procedure information and/or the set water level information. While satisfying the laundry requirements of users, this manner can greatly improve the working efficiency of a washing machine, and avoid the tediousness of repeatedly inputting such information as the clothes type, the clothes material, the clothes weight and the type of smudginess on clothes by users.
  • In conclusion, the method for controlling pouring of laundry detergent in the present invention has the following advantages:
  • 1) By adopting the method for controlling pouring of laundry detergent in the present invention, users can select to pour the laundry detergent based on the defaulted pouring amount of the laundry detergent, or can change the pouring amount of the laundry detergent based on requirements, thereby satisfying individual laundry requirements.
    2) By adopting the method for controlling pouring of laundry detergent in the present invention, the first pouring amount of the laundry detergent can be displayed to users visually, such that users can judge whether to increase the laundry detergent or not without considering the washing condition.
