As a possible situation, the capacity of the first clothes treatment module is relatively small and can be used to wash infant clothes, underwear, etc. To ensure priority heating of the first clothes treatment module, the first clothes treatment module of the clothes treatment device may be set The heating priority of is higher than the heating priority of the second laundry treatment module. In this way, it is ensured that the infant clothes, underwear, etc. in the first clothes treatment module are preferentially heated.

It should be noted that the heating priority may be set through a built-in program of the clothes treatment device, or may be set by a terminal device that controls the clothes treatment device, which is not limited here.

Step 102: Perform heating control on the first laundry treatment module and the second laundry treatment module according to the set heating priority.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the heating priority of the first laundry treatment module is set to be higher than the heating priority of the second laundry treatment module, the first laundry treatment module and the second laundry treatment can be processed according to the set heating priority. The module performs heating control.

As a first possible situation, since the heating priority of the first laundry treatment module of the laundry treatment device is set to be higher than the heating priority of the second laundry treatment module, the first laundry treatment module and the second laundry treatment are acquired at the same time.

The above process will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a second method for controlling a laundry treatment device according to an embodiment of the application.

As shown in FIG. 2, the control method of the laundry treatment device may include the following steps:

Step 201: Obtain a first heating request from a first laundry treatment module.

The first heating request may be a water heating request sent during the washing process of the first clothes treatment module, or may be a drying heating request sent by the first clothes treatment module during the drying process, which is not limited herein.

As another possible situation, when the first laundry treatment module needs to heat the water in the washing tub during the washing or rinsing process, the main control board of the first laundry treatment module sends a water heating request to the logic processor to The logic processor obtains the water heating request of the first laundry treatment module.

As another possible situation, when the first clothes treatment module needs to dry and heat during the clothes drying process of the clothes treatment device, the main control board of the first clothes treatment module sends a drying and heating request to the logic processor, So that the logic processor obtains the drying and heating request of the first laundry processing module.

Step 202: In response to the first heating request, it is determined that the second laundry treatment module is in a heating state.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the first heating request is obtained from the first clothes treatment module of the clothes treatment device, in response to the first heating request, it is inquired whether there is currently a clothes treatment module occupying the heating state.

That is, when the first laundry treatment module sends the first heating request, the second laundry treatment module is in the water heating state or the drying heating state.

Step 203: Control the second laundry treatment module to stop heating, and control the first laundry treatment module to perform heating.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the logic processor obtains the first heating request of the first laundry treatment module, it inquires that the second laundry treatment module is in the heating state. In this case, in order to enable the first laundry treatment module to be heated preferentially, the second laundry treatment module can be controlled to stop heating, and the first laundry treatment module can be controlled to perform heating.

It is understandable that, in order to prevent the power of the laundry treatment device from exceeding the limit value during the heating process, the first laundry treatment module and the second laundry treatment module cannot be heated at the same time.

As an example, suppose that the clothes treatment device includes an upper drum and a lower drum. When the upper drum needs to be dried and heated during the drying of the clothes, the main control board controlling the upper drum sends a drying heating request to the logic processor. After the processor receives the drying and heating request sent by the upper drum, it determines whether the lower drum occupies the heating state.

As another possible implementation manner, when the first laundry treatment module is controlled to perform heating, the heating unit may also be controlled to perform heating according to the heating duration of the first laundry treatment module. Specifically, during the heating process performed by the first laundry treatment module, the heating duration of the first laundry treatment module is timed to determine the heating duration of the first laundry treatment module. When it is determined that the heating duration of the first laundry treatment module reaches the preset duration, the heating unit of the first laundry treatment module is controlled to stop heating. In this way, it is avoided that the time for the first clothes treatment module to heat up is too long, the temperature of the inner cylinder is too high, or the temperature of the washing water is too high to cause damage to the clothes. The preset duration may be a heating duration preset according to the weight of washing water or clothes in the first laundry treatment module, or it may be a preset heating duration preset by a built-in program of the first laundry treatment module, which is not limited here.
