Description

Control method for clothes processing equipment and clothes processing equipment

Technical field

The invention belongs to the technical field of laundry treatment, and specifically provides a laundry treatment device.

Background technique

Clothes processing equipment is equipment that can wash, dry, sterilize, and/or deodorize clothes. With the continuous improvement of production levels and the continuous growth of user needs, users have higher and higher demands on clothes processing equipment.

In the prior art, taking a washing machine as an example, the washing machine has a separate dispensing device, and the dispensing device has an automatic dispensing type and a manual dispensing type, where the automatic dispensing type is to pre-inject the laundry treatment agent into the dispensing cavity of the dispensing device, and then When the washing machine is in operation, the laundry treatment agent can be self-dispensed into the washing tub through the action of a valve. The advantage of this dispensation method is that the user does not need to control the self-dispensing amount, while the manual dispensation requires the user to master the dispensing amount, that is, before the washing machine is operated Pull out the throwing device, then manually throw in, and finally wash the laundry treatment agent into the washing tub by means of water flushing. However, if the user wants to put it in again during the operation of the washing machine, the automatic loading type washing machine can be re-dispensed if there is a laundry treatment agent in the loading cavity. If there is no laundry treatment agent in the loading cavity, the washing machine can only be turned off. Then, the second feeding is performed, which causes the laundry to fail to be washed normally. The manual loading type washing machine can perform the second feeding when the washing machine is running through the loading device, but if the laundry treatment agent is washed into the washing tub by water flushing It will inevitably lead to changes in the current amount of water in the washing tub. However, the amount of water required for laundry washing is relatively high. If the amount of water changes is likely to affect the washing effect on the laundry, and, most importantly, the washing machine's delivery device generally only has a predetermined number If the user wants to add special clothes treatment agent (such as fragrance or active enzyme agent), he also needs to put it through the putting cavity of the putting device. This kind of putting way will cause the mixing of the putting cavity, and it is very easy to cause The mixing of different laundry treatment agents is not convenient for the user to use the washing machine next time.

In the prior art, taking a washing machine as an example, the clothes are generally washed in a water washing mode, and the mechanical rotation is accompanied by the mechanical rotation during the water washing process, so that the stains on the clothes are washed clean, however, this washing method has limitations The reason is: if a large amount of water is injected into the washing tub at the beginning, the stains on the surface of the clothes will directly enter the lining of the clothes in a state where the washing liquid is not completely dissolved, thereby requiring more time in the subsequent washing process, Only the amount of water, washing liquid and mechanical action can wash the clothes, resulting in poor washing effect.

In the prior art, taking a washing machine as an example, the clothes are generally washed in a water washing mode, and the mechanical rotation is accompanied by the mechanical rotation during the water washing process, so that the stains on the clothes are washed clean, however, this washing method has limitations The reason is: if a large amount of water is injected into the washing tub at the beginning, the stains on the surface of the clothes will directly enter the lining of the clothes in a state where the washing liquid is not completely dissolved, thereby requiring more time in the subsequent washing process, Only the amount of water, washing liquid and mechanical action can wash the clothes, resulting in poor washing effect. Therefore, the clothes can be washed by atomizing air washing, that is, the washing machine has the function of atomizing air washing. This type of washing machine generally needs to be equipped with an atomizing water tank. However, in practical applications, each time after the atomizing air washing is completed, The user cannot know whether there is still water in the atomizing water tank. If the user needs to check whether there is water in the atomizing water tank every time before or after the atomizing air washing operation, it will inevitably cause inconvenience to the user. If the atomizing water tank is not checked Whether there is water or not, the time when the water supply valve is opened cannot be determined, which makes it difficult to perform the atomizing air washing operation, which seriously affects the user experience.

Therefore, the clothes can be washed by atomizing air washing, that is, the washing machine has an atomizing air washing mode. This washing machine generally needs to be equipped with an atomizing water tank. Of course, this washing machine can also include other washing modes, and other washing modes also It can be done with an atomized water tank. Under this product structure, if all washing modes use the same water injection operation, it will inevitably fail to meet the washing requirements of different modes, which makes the application of this washing machine has very great limitations. Sex.

In the prior art, taking a washing machine as an example, the clothes are generally washed in a water washing mode, and the mechanical rotation is accompanied by the mechanical rotation during the water washing process, so that the stains on the clothes are washed clean, however, this washing method has limitations The reason is: if a large amount of water is injected into the washing tub at the beginning, the stains on the surface of the clothes will directly enter the lining of the clothes in a state where the washing liquid is not completely dissolved, thereby requiring more time in the subsequent washing process, Only the amount of water, washing liquid and mechanical action can wash the clothes, resulting in poor washing effect. Therefore, the clothes can be washed by atomizing air washing. This type of washing machine needs to be equipped with an atomizing water tank, and the water supply valve needs to inject water to the atomizing water tank in a jog mode, that is, the water supply valve can be atomized within a short time. The water tank is filled with water instantaneously. However, this jog method may not be able to smoothly inject water into the atomized water tank when the air pressure is high or the water pressure is insufficient. Therefore, in practical applications, this washing machine still has very large limitations .

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the drum washing machine of the present invention includes a cabinet, a drum 1, a water supply valve, a water containing member and an atomization generator 2, a window pad 3 is provided between the cabinet and the drum 1, the water supply valve passes The water containing member is connected to the atomizing generator 2, the outlet of the atomizing generator 2 is provided toward the inner cavity of the drum 1, the water containing member is provided with a discharge port 4, the atomizing generator 2 may be provided on the window pad 3, and It may be provided on the outer cylinder of the drum 1 as long as it can spray atomized water droplets on the laundry in the inner cylinder of the drum 1 to perform atomized air washing. Among them, the water-holding member may be a water tank 5, a water tank, or a water-holding tank on the drum washing machine. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structure of the water-holding member in practical applications, as long as the water-holding member It can store and contain water. The atomization generator 2 can be an ultrasonic atomization generator or a compression atomization generator. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structure of the atomization generator 2 in practical applications, as long as the atomization generator 2 The water in the water-holding member can be converted into atomized water droplets to perform atomized air washing on the clothes. The technical solution of the present invention will be explained in detail below by using a water-holding member as a water tank.

In a possible situation, the water tank 5 is provided in the tank body. In this case, in order to realize the second delivery from the water tank 5, a delivery structure may be provided on the tank body, and then the delivery structure is connected to the delivery port 4 on the water tank 5 To realize the second delivery of the laundry treatment agent, wherein the delivery structure may be a delivery port provided on the box, or a delivery slot provided on the box, etc., and the delivery structure may be provided on the tray of the box It can also be installed on the panel of the cabinet. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structure of the delivery structure and the installation position on the cabinet in practical applications, as long as it can be supplemented by the delivery structure on the cabinet The laundry treatment agent is injected into the injection port 4 through the injection structure and then into the water tank 5. Of course, it is more preferred that the installation structure of the injection structure in the tank is higher than that of the injection port 4 on the water tank 5. By this arrangement, the laundry treatment agent can flow into the water tank 5 by gravity without the aid of other structures such as a pump for auxiliary transportation. In addition, if the installation position of the water tank 5 is relatively close to the inner wall of the tank or directly on the inner wall of the tank, the drop structure on the tank can be directly connected to the drop port 4, that is, no other auxiliary connection structure is required to connect. If the installation position of the water tank 5 is relatively far from the inner wall of the tank body, the drop structure on the tank body can be connected to the drop port 4 through a connection structure, where the connection structure can be a connection pipe or a guide groove with a connection function In the actual application, those skilled in the art can flexibly set the installation position of the water tank 5 in the tank and the connection method between the delivery structure and the delivery port 4 as long as the supplementary laundry treatment agent can be delivered through the tank The structure can be injected into the water tank 5 from the inlet 4 smoothly.

In another possible situation, the water tank 5 is not completely disposed in the tank body, that is, the water tank 5 may be entirely disposed outside the tank body or partially disposed outside the tank body. At this time, the delivery port 4 is directly disposed on the water tank 5 and is located in the tank. The outer side of the body can realize the second delivery of the laundry treatment agent. For example, an installation opening can be provided on the box body, and then the water tank 5 can be installed on the installation opening, so that the user can perform the operation of putting in the laundry treatment agent at any time.

It should be noted that the drum washing machine of the present invention can realize the delivery function only through the delivery port 4, and of course, the drum washing machine can also have a delivery device itself. In the following, a further explanation will be given in conjunction with a drum washing machine with a dispensing device.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 1, the delivery device 6 of the drum washing machine of the present invention includes a water delivery channel 61 and a laundry treatment agent delivery cavity. The laundry treatment agent delivery cavity is provided below the water delivery channel 61. The drum 1 is connected, and the water supply valve is connected to the water tank 5 through the water delivery channel 61. The water delivery channel 61 is provided with a one-way check structure 7, which is configured to be isolated from the atmosphere when the water supply valve is opened and the water supply valve When closed, it communicates with the atmosphere. Among them, the one-way check structure 7 can use a one-way check valve, such as the one-way check valve in the patent number 201721853840.8, the principle of the one-way check valve belongs to the prior art, and will not be elaborated here. Of course, in the present invention, other one-way check structures 7 may also be used. For example, the one-way check structure 7 includes a cylinder, a moving block provided in the cylinder, and a connection between the cylinder and the moving block Spring, the moving block divides the inner chamber of the barrel into two parts, the top of the barrel is provided with an air inlet, the bottom of the barrel is provided with a water inlet, and the middle of the barrel is provided with an outlet, the spring allows the moving block to be on top Move between the limit position, the middle position and the bottom limit position. When the spring is in a natural state, the spring keeps the moving block at the bottom limit position. At this time, the air inlet and the outlet are connected, and the water inlet and the outlet are separated by the moving block, thereby achieving a single The reverse check structure 7 communicates with the atmosphere. When water flows in from the water inlet, the water pressure overcomes the force of the spring to move the moving block to the top limit position, so that the water inlet and the outlet are connected, and the air inlet and the outlet are separated by the moving block, thereby To realize the unidirectional check structure 7 to pass water and isolate it from the atmosphere, it should be noted that the above top and bottom are relative to the barrel, and the specific unidirectional check structure 7 installation direction and specific installation position are not Constraints. Or alternatively, the one-way check structure 7 may also be a blocking structure. Specifically, an opening is provided in the water delivery channel 61, and a blocking is provided in the opening. When the water supply valve enters the water, the opening is closed by the blocking. When the valve is closed, the blockage is removed and the opening is communicated with the atmosphere, so that the water in the water tank 5 is ejected from the outlet of the atomization generator 2. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structure of the one-way check structure 7 in practical applications, as long as the one-way check structure 7 can achieve isolation from the atmosphere when the water supply valve is opened and communication with the atmosphere when the water supply valve is closed. can.

It should be noted that in the above structure, the delivery port 4 on the water tank 5 can also achieve the function of communicating with the atmosphere, that is, the water delivery channel 61 may not be provided with a one-way check structure 7, but only serves as the water supply for the water tank 5 The water delivery channel 61. Of course, the water delivery channel 61 can also supply water to the laundry treatment agent delivery cavity to flush the laundry treatment agent in the laundry treatment agent delivery cavity into the drum 1. The water flowing from the water supply valve can be transported into the water tank 5 through the water delivery channel 61. The delivery port 4 can be set to communicate with the atmosphere at all times. Then, when the water supply valve is closed, since the delivery port 4 communicates with the atmosphere, the water tank 5 can be connected The water inside is sprayed onto the clothes by the atomizer 2 in the form of atomized water droplets. Of course, in order to ensure that the water in the water supply valve is filled with water, the water in the water tank 5 will not be discharged from the delivery port 4 or the delivery structure connected to the delivery port 4 Outflow, the delivery port 4 or the delivery structure connected to the delivery port 4 can also be provided with a blockage. When the water supply valve is opened, the delivery port 4 is blocked, and when the water supply valve is closed, the delivery port 4 is connected to the atmosphere, so that the delivery port 4 It has both the delivery function and the function of communicating with the atmosphere, so as to realize the atomized air washing of the clothes.

In addition, it should also be noted that the present invention adopts the unidirectional check structure 7 to enable the atomization generator 2 to smoothly generate atomized water droplets. This is because when the water supply valve is always open and the delivery port 4 is isolated from the atmosphere, Under the action of water pressure, it is difficult for the atomization generator 2 to form atomized water droplets, so the water supply valve can be opened to store water in the water tank 5, and then the water supply valve is closed. At this time, the principle of atmospheric communication makes the water tank 5 The water from the atomization generator 2 is sprayed onto the clothes in the form of atomized water droplets, thereby ensuring that the atomization generator 2 can perform atomized air washing on the clothes. In addition, in practical applications, the installation position of the outlet of the atomization generator 2 can be set lower than the installation position of the one-way check structure 7, so that the water in the water tank 5 is ejected from the atomization generator 2 at the same time Make use of the original structure of the drum washing machine.

In the present invention, the user can flexibly choose the clothes treatment agent during the second delivery, and there is no limitation, for example, detergent, softener, bleach, whitening agent, stain remover, fragrance or active enzyme agent, etc. Therefore, the washing effect on the laundry is improved, and there is no need to worry about mixing with the laundry treatment agent feeding cavity in the dispensing device 6 or mixing of different laundry treatment agents, which is convenient for each use of the user.

Only in this way can different washing methods be implemented on the laundry, such as the atomizing air washing mode. This washing mode needs to be injected into the water tank. The water can be used to supply water to the atomization generator through the water tank. It should be noted that when the water supply valve is opened, the atomization generator is difficult to form atomized water droplets due to the water pressure, so the water can be carried out through the water tank Store it, and then close the water supply valve to wash the atomization generator through the water tank. When performing spray washing or water injection washing, you can always open the water supply valve to wash the laundry in the drum through the shower head or water injection port. Of course, in addition to the above washing mode, the operation mode of the present invention can also Including other non-washing modes, such as cleaning mode, etc., those skilled in the art can flexibly set specific operation modes in practical applications, as long as the corresponding water injection operation is performed through the input operation mode.

Preferably, the step of “performing the corresponding water injection operation according to the input operation mode” includes: if the input operation mode is the atomizing air washing mode, then water is injected into the water tank at the first preset time. The first preset time may be 1 second, 2 seconds, or other time values. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific value of the first preset time in practical applications.

Preferably, a siphon structure is provided in the water tank, and the siphon structure is configured to be able to drain the water in the water tank when the water level in the water tank reaches the set water level. The step of “performing the corresponding water injection operation according to the input operation mode” further includes: If the input operation mode is the cleaning mode, water is injected into the water tank at a second preset time, where the second preset time is greater than the first preset time, and the second preset time can meet the water level in the water tank Set the water level conditions. Wherein, the siphon structure may be a structure of an inverted straw, or a structure of a cannula, taking the structure of a cannula as an example, the water tank includes a body and a cover, a first insertion tube is formed on the body, and a second is formed on the cover Plug-in tube, when the body and the cover are assembled into a water tank with a cavity, the first plug-in tube and the second plug-in tube are both arranged in the cavity, the inner diameter of the second plug-in tube is greater than the outer diameter of the first plug-in tube, and the A plug-in tube is inserted into the second plug-in tube, and the water inlet of the first plug-in tube has a gap with the bottom of the second plug-in tube, the water inlet of the second plug-in tube has a gap with the inner bottom of the body, and the outlet of the first plug-in tube The water port communicates with the outside of the body. With this siphon structure, when the water level in the water tank reaches the water inlet of the first plug-in pipe (that is, the above-mentioned set water level), a siphon phenomenon is caused, so that the water in the water tank can be completely The water tank is discharged to achieve the purpose of cleaning the water tank. The second preset time can be calculated according to the specific size of the water tank and the siphon structure. In short, the setting of the second preset time needs to satisfy the condition that the water in the water tank can reach the set water level. For example, the second preset time may be 2 seconds, or 3 seconds, or other time values. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific value of the second preset time in practical applications, as long as the second preset is guaranteed The time is greater than the first preset time and the siphon structure can trigger the siphon phenomenon to empty the water in the water tank. Correspondingly, if the product structure with a siphon structure is used in the water tank, the first preset time needs to be satisfied that the water tank cannot trigger the siphon phenomenon, otherwise the water in the water tank will not be able to perform the atomizing air washing operation .

Preferably, the drum washing machine further includes a shower head provided on the drum 1 and/or the window pad 3, and then the shower head is connected to the water outlet of the siphon structure, "perform the corresponding water injection operation according to the input operation mode" The steps also include: if the input operation mode is the spray mode, then continue to fill the water tank. Under this structure, the water is continuously injected into the water tank, so that the siphon phenomenon continues, thereby ensuring that the water in the water tank can be continuously supplied to the shower head, and then the clothes are sprayed and washed through the shower head. Alternatively, a separate outlet can also be directly provided on the water tank 4, the outlet is connected to the sprinkler head through a pipe, and the atomizer generator 2 is closed at this time, so that the water source in the water tank 4 continuously flows to the sprinkler head Place, and then spray wash the clothes through the spray head. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific connection structure between the water tank 4 and the shower head in practical applications, as long as the clothes in the drum 1 can be spray washed by the shower head.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 7, the drum washing machine of the present invention further includes a delivery device 5. The delivery device 5 includes a water delivery channel 51. The water supply valve is connected to the water tank 4 through the water delivery channel 51. The water delivery channel 51 is provided with a unidirectional The check structure 6 and the one-way check structure 6 are arranged to be isolated from the atmosphere when the water supply valve is opened and to communicate with the atmosphere when the water supply valve is closed. Among them, the one-way check structure 6 can use a one-way check valve, such as the one-way check valve in patent number 201721853840.8, the principle of the one-way check valve belongs to the prior art, and will not be elaborated here. Of course, in the present invention, other one-way check structures 6 may also be used. For example, the one-way check structure 6 includes a cylinder, a moving block provided in the cylinder, and a connection between the cylinder and the moving block Spring, the moving block divides the inner chamber of the barrel into two parts, the top of the barrel is provided with an air inlet, the bottom of the barrel is provided with a water inlet, and the middle of the barrel is provided with an outlet, the spring allows the moving block to be on top Move between the limit position, the middle position and the bottom limit position. When the spring is in a natural state, the spring keeps the moving block at the bottom limit position. At this time, the air inlet and the outlet are connected, and the water inlet and the outlet are separated by the moving block, thereby achieving a single The check structure 6 communicates with the atmosphere. When water flows in from the water inlet, the water pressure overcomes the force of the spring to move the moving block to the top limit position, so that the water inlet and the outlet are connected, and the air inlet and the outlet are separated by the moving block, thereby To realize the unidirectional check structure 6 to pass water and isolate it from the atmosphere, it should be noted that the above top and bottom are relative to the cylinder, and the specific unidirectional check structure 6 installation direction and specific installation position are not Constraints. Or alternatively, the one-way check structure 6 may also be a blocking structure. Specifically, an opening is provided in the water delivery channel 51, and a blocking is provided in the opening. When the water supply valve enters the water, the opening is closed by the blocking. When the valve is closed, the blockage is removed and the opening is communicated with the atmosphere, so that the water in the water tank 4 is ejected from the outlet of the atomization generator 2. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structure of the one-way check structure 6 in practical applications, as long as the one-way check structure 6 can achieve isolation from the atmosphere when the water supply valve is opened and communication with the atmosphere when the water supply valve is closed. can.

As shown in FIG. 7, it should be noted that the present invention adopts a one-way check structure 6 to enable the atomization generator 2 to smoothly generate atomized water droplets. This is because when the water supply valve is always open, the mist is under the action of water pressure The atomizer 2 is difficult to form atomized water droplets, so the water can be stored in the water tank 4 by opening the water supply valve, and then the water supply valve is closed. At this time, the water in the water tank 4 is removed from the atomizer by the principle of atmospheric communication 2 is sprayed on the clothes in the form of atomized water droplets, so as to ensure that the atomizer generator 2 can perform atomized air washing on the clothes in the drum 1. Of course, the one-way check structure 6 of the present invention can also be directly provided on the water tank 4. The simple change of the position of this one-way check structure 6 does not deviate from the principle of the present invention, and should be limited to the protection scope of the present invention within. In practical applications, the installation position of the outlet of the atomization generator 2 can be set lower than the installation position of the one-way check structure 6, so that the water in the water tank 4 is ejected from the atomization generator 2. When the atomizer generator 2 is opened and the water supply valve is closed, the water in the water tank 4 will be sprayed from the atomizer generator 2 under normal circumstances. If the water level in the water tank 4 changes, that is, the water level drops, indicating that it is possible If the normal atomizing air washing operation is performed, no alarm prompt will be issued; if the water level in the water tank 4 does not change, it means that the normal atomizing air washing operation cannot be performed at this time, that is, the atomizing generator 2 has an abnormal water output, and there is If the unidirectional backstop structure 6 fails, or the atomizer 2 fails, an alarm prompt is issued to prompt the user to find the fault in time. Among them, the alarm prompt may be a buzzer prompt, a voice prompt, a flashing light prompt, or a prompt light for the control panel.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

Based on the background technology, the washing machine with atomizing air washing function is prone to water injection abnormalities, which makes the application of the washing machine limited. The present invention provides a control method for a drum washing machine and a drum washing machine, which aims to ensure mist The smooth operation of the air washing operation makes the washing machine with atomizing air washing function not limited in practical applications.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the drum washing machine of the present invention includes a cabinet, a drum 1, a water supply valve, a water containing member and an atomization generator 2, a window pad 3 is provided between the cabinet and the drum 1, the water supply valve passes The water-holding member is connected to the atomizing generator 2, the outlet of the atomizing generator 2 is arranged toward the inner cavity of the drum 1, the atomizing generator 2 may be arranged on the window pad 3, or may be arranged on the outer cylinder of the drum 1, As long as the atomized water droplets can be sprayed onto the laundry in the inner drum of the drum 1 to perform atomized air washing. Among them, the water-holding member may be a water tank, a water tank, or a water-holding tank on the drum washing machine. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structure of the water-holding member in practical applications, as long as the water-holding member can Just store and hold the water. The atomization generator 2 can be an ultrasonic atomization generator or a compression atomization generator. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structure of the atomization generator 2 in practical applications, as long as the atomization generator 2 The water in the water-holding member can be converted into atomized water droplets to perform atomized air washing on the clothes. The technical solution of the present invention will be explained in detail below by using a water-holding member as a water tank.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the control method of the present invention includes: acquiring the water level in the water tank and recording it as the first water level; opening the water supply valve for the first preset time and then closing the water supply valve; acquiring the water level in the water tank again, Record as the second water level; calculate the difference between the second water level and the first water level; perform the corresponding control operation based on the difference between the second water level and the first water level. The first preset time may be 1 second, 2 seconds, or other time values. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific value of the first preset time in practical applications. In a preferred situation, the step of "performing corresponding control operations according to the difference between the second water level and the first water level" specifically includes: if the difference between the second water level and the first water level is greater than the first preset value, The water supply valve is not opened; if the difference between the second water level and the first water level is not greater than the first preset value, the water supply valve is opened for a second preset time and then the water supply valve is closed, wherein the second preset time is greater than the first A preset time. The second preset time can be 2 seconds, 3 seconds, or other time values. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific value of the second preset time in practical applications, as long as the second The preset time can be greater than the first preset time. The principle of this setting is: first fill the water tank with the first preset time. If the water level in the water tank changes and reaches the set water level, then the drum washing machine is not faulty If the set water level is not reached, it may indicate that the water injection is abnormal, or the water pressure is not smooth due to the high air pressure or insufficient water pressure in the water tank. At this time, further judgment is needed, that is, the water is injected into the water tank at the second preset time , That is to say, after the aforementioned step of “opening the water supply valve and continuing for the second preset time and then closing the water supply valve”, the water level in the water-holding member is obtained again and recorded as the third water level; the third water level and the second water level are calculated According to the difference between the third water level and the second water level, the corresponding control operation is performed. Specifically, if the difference between the third water level and the second water level is greater than the second preset value, the water supply valve is not opened. At this time, it is because the air pressure in the water tank is insufficient or the water pressure is insufficient, resulting in poor water injection. After the water supply valve is turned on for the second preset time, normal water injection can be performed in the water tank; if the difference between the third water level and the second water level is not greater than the second preset value, an alarm prompt is issued, and the description basically excludes the water tank. The possibility that the air pressure in the interior is insufficient or the water pressure is insufficient, resulting in poor water injection, that is, it is determined that the water injection is abnormal, then an alarm prompt should be issued to inform the user that fault search is required. The alarm prompt can be a buzzer prompt or a voice prompt. It can also be a flashing light prompt, or a prompt light can be displayed for the control panel. This way of prompting does not constitute any limitation to the present invention. The cause of the failure at this time may be due to household water cut-off, or the failure of the water supply valve to prevent water from entering, or the blocked pipeline to prevent water from entering. In the present invention, a water level sensor may be provided in the water tank to detect the water level in the water tank.

It should be noted that the first preset value in the foregoing can be zero, that is, as long as the water level in the water tank changes when the water supply valve is opened, it is determined that the normal water intake, if the water level in the water tank does not change when the water supply valve is opened, that is Need further judgment. Similarly, the second preset value in the foregoing can also be zero, that is, as long as the water level in the water tank changes when the water supply valve is opened again, it is determined that the normal water intake, if the water level in the water tank is still unchanged when the water supply valve is opened , It is determined that the water inflow is abnormal. Of course, the first preset value may not be set to zero, that is, in addition to determining whether the water intake is able to determine whether the water intake is smooth, because the water level difference will only reach the first preset value when the water intake is smooth, otherwise Further judgment is required. Similarly, the second preset value may not be set to zero, that is, if the second preset value is reached, it can be determined that there is no abnormality in water injection, and if the second preset value is not reached, it can be determined as Abnormal water injection. Abnormal water injection at this time includes two situations: poor water injection and no water injection at all. In short, the user needs to further find the cause. This control method can not only eliminate the effect of poor water injection due to the atmospheric pressure or insufficient water pressure in the tank, but also avoid the impact of the first misjudgment, that is, two judgments can be more accurate It is determined whether a water injection abnormality has really occurred, which improves the accuracy of the judgment. In addition, it should be noted that the first preset value and the second preset value may be the same two values or different two values. The setting of the specific value does not constitute a limitation on the present invention.
