Description

洗衣机远程控制方法及系统
技术领域
本发明涉及一种洗衣机领域， 尤其涉及一种具有远程控制功能的洗衣机。 背景技术
目前， 洗衣机主要是通过电脑液晶屏幕等进行人机交换操作， 用户通过对 上述人机交换界面上的运行程序的选择来控制洗衣机。 例如， 自动加水、 预 洗、 漂洗、 漂白、 过清等自动化程序。 当用户选择了上述自动化程序的任意一 种， 洗衣机将自动运行相应程序。
但是这些自动化程序一般运行较长时间， 用户选择运行相应程序后会进行 其他活动， 不能即时知道洗衣机是否运行完毕。 目前的解决办法是在洗衣程序 运行结束后进行声音和灯光提醒， 但如果用户不在洗衣机的附近， 则无法接收 到洗衣机程序运行结束的信息， 也无法及时对洗净后的衣物进行处理。 而湿的 衣物在洗衣机内放置过久会产生褶皱和异味， 滋生细菌影响用户身体健康。
因此， 亟需一种能在洗衣程序结束时及时提醒用户并供用户远程控制的洗 衣机， 从而使得用户即使不在洗衣机附近也可以及时的得知洗衣程序结束， 并 能通过远程控制操控洗衣机进行后续的处理， 减少上述问题的出现。
发明内容
本发明的主要目的在于提出一种洗衣机的远程控制方法， 能够通过在洗衣 程序结束后经通讯装置发送信息至与之相连通的通讯终端， 告知用户洗衣程序 已完成， 所述洗衣程序可以是洗涤、 漂洗、 甩干等等现有洗衣机中的常规洗涤 程序， 并显示指令菜单给用户选择， 用户可通过通讯终端选择所期望的洗衣机 操作， 通讯终端接收用户选择的指令后将指令发送回通讯装置， 控制装置在收 到指令后根据指令的内容执行相应的指令， 如此， 用户在远离洗衣机的地方控 制洗衣机执行合适的衣物处理方式， 避免了衣物因久置而产生褶皱和异味。
本发明的目的在于还提供了一种洗衣机的远程控制方法， 通过通讯终端在 接收通讯装置发送包含有洗衣机识别符的信息后， 根据该识别符识别洗衣机的 型号， 并通过该型号分析洗衣机的功能， 比如是否具有烘干功能等等， 并根据 功能的不同针对性的显示相应的指令菜单， 如对于不具有烘干功能的洗衣机显 示除烘干功能以外的其他至少包含防皱和吹风两个指令的菜单给用户选择， 并 在控制装置控制洗衣机执行相应操作超过预定的时间时停止操作， 或者控制装 置接收到外部的停止指令后控制洗衣机停止相应操作。 如此， 在用户在远离洗 衣机时通过选择防皱或吹风指令控制洗衣机自行运行转桶或者向运转的转桶内 吹冷风， 变化衣物的存放形状并保持干爽， 避免了衣物因久置而产生褶皱和异 味。
为达此目的， 本发明采用以下技术方案：

本发明进一步提供一种洗衣机远程控制系统， 用于前面所述的洗衣机远程 控制的方法， 所述系统包括洗衣机和通讯终端， 洗衣机包括控制装置和通讯装 置， 所述洗衣机通过控制控制装置和通讯装置与通讯终端通讯连接， 其特征在 于， 所述控制装置检测到洗衣程序结束后通过控制通讯装置发送信息给通讯终 端， 通讯终端在收到通讯装置发送的信息后， 所述通讯终端首先对外部提示洗 衣程序已完成， 然后提供以下指令中的至少两种供外部选择： 等待、 防皱、 吹 风、 烘干、 关机， 并且所述通讯终端在接收到外部的选择信号后将被选择的指 令发送给所述洗衣机的所述通讯装置， 所述控制装置根据所述通讯装置接收的 指令控制洗衣机执行相应操作。 优选的， 在上述洗衣机远程控制系统中， 所述通讯终端为手机或便携式电 脑。 本发明所提供的洗衣机远程控制方法， 通过在运行程序结束后经无线通信 将衣物处理信息发送至与之相连的通讯终端， 通讯终端接收用户的选择信息后 发送回通讯装置， 控制装置读取该信息并执行相应的指令。 如此， 用户在远离 洗衣机的地方控制洗衣机执行合适的衣物处理方式， 避免了衣物因久置而产生 褶皱和异味。 同时， 执行用户选择的指令后超过预定的时间自行结束运行的程 序， 节约了用电； 通过通讯装置发送含洗衣机型号的识别符的信息可显示与之 相对应的指令菜单， 避免了控制装置无法执行指令的情况； 通讯装置在收到所 述通讯终端发送的指令之前不间断的向通讯终端发送信息， 如此增加了用户接 收到信息的可能性。 附图说明 图 1是本发明具体实施方式一的洗衣机远程控制方法的流程图； 图 2是本发明具体实施方式二的洗衣机远程控制方法具体应用实施例的流 程图； 图 3是本发明具体实施方式洗衣机远程控制系统的模块示意图。 本发明目的的实现、 功能特点及优点将结合实施例， 参照附图做进一步说 明。
具体实 J ^r式 应当理解， 此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明， 并不用于限定 本发明。 下面结合附图并通过具体实施方式来进一步说明本发明的技术方案。 图 1是本发明具体实施方式一提供的一种洗衣机远程控制方法的流程图， 图 2是本发明具体应用实施例二提供的洗衣机远程控制方法具体应用实施例的 流程图。
如图 1， 该洗衣机远程控制方法包括以下步骤：
在步骤 S100 中， 洗衣机内置的控制装置检测洗衣程序运行状态。 在一些 实施例中， 用户设定的洗衣程序运行后， 启动控制装置中的程序监控单元， 实 时检测洗衣程序是否运行结束， 所述洗衣程序可以是洗涤、 漂洗、 甩干等现有 洗衣机中的常规洗涤程序。
在步骤 S200中， 判断洗衣程序是否结束， 如果没有结束， 则转至 S100步 骤中， 通过洗衣机内置的控制装置继续査询洗衣程序的运行状态； 如果已经结 束， 则转至 S300步骤。
在步骤 S300 中， 所述控制装置通过洗衣机内置的通讯装置发送信息给位 于洗衣机外部的通讯终端， 该通信装置可以为洗衣机内置的 wifi模块或者蓝牙 等等任意的现有无线通讯模块， 外部的通讯终端则可采用具有人机交互功能的 无线通讯终端， 如手机、 平板电脑等等。 在一些实施例中， 控制装置检测到洗 衣程序运行到 "停止 "的步骤时， 判断出洗衣程序运行结束。 与此同时激活通讯 装置， 使通讯装置向位于洗衣机外部的通讯终端发送信息以提醒用户洗衣程序 结束。 例如， 洗衣机控制装置控制洗衣机内置的 wifi模块 （或者蓝牙等等现有 无线通讯模块） 通过无线通讯发送信号至与 wifi模块相连通的手机、 便携式电 脑等通讯终端， 该信息主要用于识别洗衣程序已完成。 在一些实施例中， 所述 信息还可进一步的包括与洗衣机型号相关的信息， 以便手机、 便携式电脑等通 讯终端根据具体的洗衣机型号显示与之相对应的指令菜单， 避免显示该洗衣机 不具备的功能指令而给用户造成困扰。
在步骤 S400 中， 所述通讯终端在收到来自所述通讯装置的信息后， 提供 以下指令中的至少两种供选择： 等待、 防皱、 吹风、 烘干、 关机， 并在收到外 部的选择信号后将被选择的指令发送给所述洗衣机的通讯装置。 如： 与洗衣机 内置的 Wifi模块相连的手机、 便携式电脑等通讯终端接收到 wifi模块发送的信 息后显示至少包含以下指令中至少两种供选择： 等待、 防皱、 吹风、 烘干、 关 机， 用户可根据自己当时的情况选择合适的指令选项。 其中： "等待 "代表了洗 衣机将待机以等待用户的进一步指令； "防皱 "代表了控制装置将启动转桶按设 定的时间进行转动； "吹风 "代表了控制装置将启动转桶转动并向转桶内吹入冷 风以保证衣物能处于清凉的状态； "烘干 "代表了洗衣机运行烘干程序并在运行 完毕后转至 S400; "关机"代表了关闭洗衣机。 具体的， 通讯终端在收到来自 通讯装置的信息后， 首先向用户提示洗衣程序已经结束， 然后再向用户显示指 令供用户选择。 例如， 洗衣机内置的 wifi模块发送携有表示洗衣程序已经结束 的信息给用户手中的手机， 手机以语音提示结合屏幕显示的方式告知用户洗衣 程序已经结束， 并询问用户是否希望进行进一步的处理， 在用户选择了希望进 行进一步的处理后， 手机向用户显示"等待、 防皱、 吹风、 烘干、 关机"指令界 面供用户选择， 在用户选择了 "吹风 "指令后手机将该指令通过 wifi模块发送回 给洗衣机的控制装置。
进一步的， 在洗衣机向手机发送的表示洗衣程序已经结束的信息中， 还可 以包含与洗衣机型号相关的信息。 这样设置的目的是由于洗衣机的不同型号之 间其结构和功能也不相同， 比如有些型号不具有烘干功能， 有些型号不具备吹 风功能和烘干功能， 只能进行防皱处理等等。 为了防止手机向用户显示该洗衣 机本身并不具备的功能而给用户造成困扰， 可以在手机中预先存储与洗衣机型 号和其具备功能相关的数据库， 手机根据收到信息中的洗衣机型号相关的信 息， 通过査询数据库分析洗衣机所具备的功能， 然后针对性的显示洗衣机可执 行的指令。 如对于不具有烘干设备， 但具有吹风设备的洗衣机， 在手机向用户 显示的指令仅包含 "等待、 防皱、 吹风、 关机" 这四项内容， 不再显示 "烘 干"功能， 减少使用中给用户造成的困扰。
在步骤 S500 中， 所述控制装置査询所述通讯装置是否收到所述通讯终端 发送的指令； 在一些实施例中， 当 wifi 模块发送信息给位于洗衣机外部且与 wifi模块通讯连接的手机或者电脑后， 控制装置开始不断査询 wifi模块是否收 到手机或者电脑发送回来的控制指令， 直至査询到 wifi模块收到手机或电脑的 控制指令才停止继续査询， 并转到步骤 S600。
在步骤 S600 中， 判断是否收到所述通讯终端发送的指令， 若没收到， 则 返回步骤 S500; 若收到， 则转至步骤 S700。
在步骤 S700 中， 控制装置根据收到的指令内容控制洗衣机执行相应操 作。 控制装置査询到通讯装置接收到通讯设备的控制指令后， 提取该控制指令 并执行对应该控制指令的相应操作。 例如， 内置于洗衣机的 wifi 模块接收到 "防皱"这个指令后， 控制装置提取该控制指令后启动洗衣机并使转桶按设定的 时序进行转动； 若未收到用户的进一步指令， 则一直按照设定的时序进行转 桶， 直到超过预定的时间或接收到停止指令或用户手动按电源键关机后， 洗衣 机才停止转动或进行关机。
以下将通过一具体的应用实施例对本发明的一种洗衣机远程控制方法做进 一步详细的说明， 在该具体实施例中， 以用户启动洗衣机的运行程序开始。 如 图 2所示， 图 2是本发明较佳实施方式洗衣机远程控制方法具体应用实施例二 的流程图； 包括：
在步骤 S11 中， 洗衣机内置的控制装置査询洗衣程序的运行状态。 用户将 洗衣机上电开机， 并按需要设定程序， 洗衣机按照设定的程序执行洗涤、 漂洗 和脱水流程中的某个或依次执行。 洗衣机内置的控制装置不间断的査询洗衣程 序的运行状态。
在步骤 S12 中， 控制装置査询洗衣程序是否结束。 若没有结束， 则转至 S11 步骤中， 通过洗衣机内置的控制装置继续査询洗衣程序的运行状态。 如果 已结束， 则转至 S13步骤。
在步骤 S13中， 控制装置通过洗衣机内置的通讯装置发送表示洗衣程序已 结束的信息给位于洗衣机外部的通讯终端。 在一些实施例中， 当控制装置经査 询出的洗衣状态判断出用户设定的程序运行结束时， 例如， 用户设定了"漂洗" 的流程， 漂洗的程序运行结束， 然后启动洗衣机本身的语音提示装置， 与此同 时发送表示洗衣程序已结束的信息至外部与之通讯连接的通讯终端。 在一些实 施例中， 在洗衣机向手机或平板电脑发送的表示洗衣程序已经结束的信息中， 还可以包含与洗衣机型号相关的信息。 如此设置的目的是由于洗衣机的不同型 号之间的结构和功能也不相同， 例如有些型号不具有烘干设备， 有些型号不具 备吹风设备和烘干设备， 只能进行防皱处理等等。 为了防止手机或平板电脑向 用户显示该洗衣机本身不具备的功能而给用户造成困扰， 可以在手机或平板电 脑中预先存储与洗衣机型号和其具备功能相关的数据库， 如此手机或平板电脑 就可根据将收到的信息中的洗衣机型号相关的信息分析出该洗衣机所具备的功 能， 然后针对性的显示洗衣机可执行的指令。 如对于不具有烘干设备， 但具有 吹风设备的洗衣机， 在手机或平板电脑向用户显示的指令仅包含"等待、 防 皱、 吹风、 关机"这四项内容， 不再显示"烘干"功能， 减少使用中给用户造成 的困扰。
在步骤 S14中， 通讯终端在收到来自洗衣机的信息后， 先提醒用户洗衣程 序已结束， 然后提供以下指令中的至少两种供选择： 等待、 防皱、 吹风、 烘干 和关机。 在一些实施例中， 手机或平板电脑在收到来自洗衣机的信息后， 先以 语音提示结合屏幕显示的方式告知用户洗衣程序已经结束， 并询问用户是否希 望进行进一步的处理， 在用户选择了希望进行进一步的处理后， 手机或平板电 脑提供以下指令中的至少两种供外部用户选择： 等待、 防皱、 吹风、 烘干和关 机。 例如显示防皱、 吹风和关机三个指令以供用户选择。 进一步的， 手机或平 板电脑可根据将收到的信息中的洗衣机型号相关的信息分析出该洗衣机所具备 的功能， 然后针对性的显示洗衣机可执行的指令。
在步骤 S15中， 控制装置检测预定的时间内通讯装置是否接收到通讯终端 的指令， 若是， 则判断接收到何种指令， 并根据指令的内容执行相应的操作； 若否， 则转至 S13 步骤， 通过洗衣机内置的通讯装置再次发送信息给通讯终 端。 具体的， 洗衣机内置的控制装置通过 wifi模块每隔 10分钟向与之通讯连接 的手机发送信息直至控制装置接收到来自手机的指令。
在步骤 S16中， 通讯装置接收到通讯终端发送的防皱指令。 若通讯装置接 收到通讯终端发送的防皱指令则转至步骤 S17。
在步骤 S17中， 启动转桶并按设定的时序转动。 在一些实施例中， 当 wifi 模块接收到防皱的指令后， 控制装置査询到该指令并启动该指令对应的程序。 在一些实施例中， 控制装置査询到 wifi模块接收到的防皱指令后， 启动转桶顺 时针旋转 5圈， 停止 1S， 然后逆时针旋转 5圈。
在一些实施例中， 防皱指令还可以代表启动转桶顺时针旋转 5 圈， 停止 1S， 然后再顺时针旋转 5圈并不断重复。
在步骤 S18中， 判断是否接收到通讯终端发送的停止指令或用户按动洗衣 机上的关闭按钮， 若没有收到相关指令， 则转至 S19 步骤； 若收到了相关指 在步骤 S19中， 若没有收到相关指令， 则一直运转， 直到超过预定的时间 或接收到停止指令或用户手动按电源键关机时， 才停止转动或进行关机在一些 实施例中， 当控制装置在预定的时间内査询到 wifi模块接收到通讯终端发送的 停止指令， 则立即停止转动。
在步骤 S20中， 结束。 若通讯装置接收到与 wifi模块通讯连接的手机发送 的停止指令或用户按动了洗衣机上的关闭按钮， 则立刻结束程序并关机。
在步骤 S21中， 通讯装置接收到通讯终端发送的吹风指令。 在一些实施例 中， 若 wifi模块接收到与 wifi模块通讯连接的手机发送的吹风指令则转至步骤 S22 o
在步骤 S22中， 启动转桶并使其转动， 同时给桶内吹入冷风。 在一些实施 例中， 启动转桶缓慢的顺时针转动并通过内置的吹风设备向转桶内吹入冷风。
在步骤 S23中， 判断控制装置是否接收到通讯终端发送的停止指令或用户 是否按动洗衣机上的关闭按钮。 若没有收到相关命令， 则转至 S24步骤； 若收 到则转至 S25 步骤。 在一些实施例中， 若控制装置査询到 wifi模块接收到与 wifi模块通讯连接的手机发送的停止指令， 则转至 S25步骤， 若没接收到则转 至 S24步骤。
在步骤 S24中， 若没有收到相关指令， 则一直转动并吹风， 直到超过预定 的时间或接收到停止指令或用户手动按电源键关机时， 才停止吹风程序的运转 或进行关机。 在一些实施例中， 当控制装置在预定的时间内査询到 wifi模块接 收到通讯终端发送的停止指令， 则立即停止转动和吹风。
在步骤 S25中， 结束。 当控制装置査询到通讯装置接收到通讯终端的停止 指令或者接收到洗衣机控制面板的关机指令时， 立即关闭洗衣机。 在一些实施 例中， 用户按动洗衣机上的关机按钮， 控制装置査询到关机按钮被触动， 执行 关机动作。
在步骤 S26中， 通讯装置接收到通讯终端发送的烘干指令。 若通讯装置接 收到通讯终端发送的烘干指令则转至步骤 S27， 在一些实施例中， 控制装置査 询到 wifi模块接收到与之通讯连接的手机发送的烘干指令则转至步骤 S27。
在步骤 S27中， 控制装置按照设定的烘干程序执行烘干流程。 控制装置査 询到通讯装置接收到通讯终端发来的烘干指令并执行设置好的烘干流程。 在一 些实施例中， 启动转桶使其缓慢转动并通过设置在洗衣机内的烘干设备向转桶 内吹入热风直至衣物烘干。
在步骤 S28中， 烘干结束， 通讯装置向通讯终端发送烘干结束的信息并等 待通讯终端的指令。 在一些实施例中， 控制装置不间断的査询 wifi模块是否接 收到与之通讯连接的手机的指令。 例如， wifi模块在烘干结束后将烘干结束的 信息发送至与 wifi模块通讯连通的手机后， 控制装置不间断的査询 wifi模块是 否接收到手机发送的进一步指令以便执行后续的操作。
在步骤 S29中， 通讯装置接收到通讯终端发送的等待指令。 若通讯装置接 收到通讯终端发送的等待指令则转至步骤 S30。 在一些实施例中， 控制装置査 询到 wifi模块接收到与之通讯连接的手机发送的等待指令则转至步骤 S30。
在步骤 S30中， 待机以等待用户的进一步指令。 在一些实施例中， 控制装 置査询到洗衣机内置的 wifi模块接收到与之通讯连接的手机发送的等待指令。 控制装置不进行动作并保持洗衣机的开机状态。
在步骤 S31中， 通讯装置接收到通讯终端发送的关机指令。 若通讯装置接 收到通讯终端发送的关机指令则转至步骤 S32。 在一些实施例中， 控制装置査 询到洗衣机内置的 wifi模块接收到与之通讯连接的手机发送的关机指令， 则转 至步骤 S32。 在步骤 S32中， 关机。 当控制装置査询到通讯装置接收到通讯终端的关机 指令时， 立即关闭洗衣机。 在一些实施例中， 控制装置査询到洗衣机内置的 wifi模块接收到与之通讯连接的手的关机指令后， 立即执行关机动作。
本发明提供的洗衣机远程控制的方法通过在运行程序结束后经无线通信提 醒用户洗衣程序运行结束并经用户选择处理模式指令控制控制装置执行相应的 操作， 如此， 用户在远离洗衣机的情况下控制洗衣机的运行， 防止了衣物因久 置而褶皱和产生异味。 同时， 执行用户选择的指令后超过预定的时间自行结束 运行的程序， 节约了用电； 通过通讯装置发送含有洗衣机型号的识别符的信息 可在通讯终端上显示与洗衣机型号和功能相对应的指令菜单， 避免了控制装置 无法执行指令的情况； 通讯装置在收到所述通讯终端发送的指令之前每隔预定 时间向通讯终端发送一次信息， 如此增加了用户接收到信息的可能性。
本发明进一步提供了一种洗衣机远程控制系统。
