Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

During the operation of the existing washing machine, if the washing program needs to be modified, for example, the parameters such as the rotating speed of the washing machine, the number of washings, the number of rinsing, etc., it is usually necessary to suspend the washing program currently running by the washing machine before modifying the washing program, so as to avoid errors due to errors. touch directly causes the washing program to change; some washing machines will lock or memorize the currently set washing program, even if the washing machine is paused, or even if the washing machine is directly powered off, it will continue to run according to the currently set washing program when restarted. In this case, after suspending the currently running laundry program, press the power switch to turn off and restart the washing machine, the current laundry program can be cleared, and then the laundry program can be modified or reset.

In the prior art, the process of modifying the washing program during the operation of the washing machine needs to suspend the washing machine during the running process of the washing machine, which will cause damage to the washing machine, and even need to frequently shut down and start the washing machine, which will cause greater damage to the washing machine, and modify the washing program. The operation is complicated, and the user needs to pause the washing machine before modifying the washing program, or need to pause the washing machine first, then press the power switch to shut down and restart the washing machine to modify or reset the washing program, which greatly reduces the modification efficiency of the washing machine program. Moreover, the laundry program cannot be flexibly modified, which brings inconvenience to the user and affects the user's use experience.

In view of the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a washing machine control method, which is expected to flexibly modify the washing machine program during the running process of the washing machine without suspending the washing machine, so as to solve the problem that suspending the washing machine during the running process of the washing machine will cause damage to the washing machine It improves the efficiency of modifying the washing machine program, and also simplifies the user's operation of modifying the washing program, which brings convenience to the user and improves the user's use experience.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the inventor has conducted creative research, and found in the research that if you want to change the washing program without suspending the washing machine during the running process of the washing machine, you need to consider before and after the change when the washing machine program is changed. The relationship between the laundry programs and the relationship between the laundry programs before and after the change can be determined by using a preset judgment logic to determine a specific program change method. Then, when receiving the washing program change instruction sent by the terminal device, the current washing program can be changed according to the preset judgment logic, and the running of the current washing program is not suspended, and the washing machine is controlled to continue to run with the changed washing program.

Specifically, when the washing machine is running in the current washing program, the user can send the washing program change instruction to the washing machine through the terminal device, and the washing machine can determine how to run the current washing program without suspending the washing program according to the washing program change instruction and the preset judgment logic. In this case, the current washing program is changed, and then the washing machine is controlled to continue to run with the changed washing program, wherein the preset judgment logic can judge the relationship between the part to be modified by the washing program change instruction and the first sub-program currently executed by the washing machine, If the modification is the program parameter of the currently executed first subroutine, the washing machine can be directly controlled to continue to execute the currently executed first subroutine with the new program parameters; if the modification is not the program parameter of the currently executed first subroutine, If it is the parameter of the second subroutine, it is considered to change the current washing program according to the relationship between the second subroutine and the first subroutine. Through the above process, it is possible to flexibly modify the washing machine program during the running process of the washing machine without needing to suspend the washing machine.

The application scenario of the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1 , including a washing machine 101 and a terminal device 102. During the running process of the washing machine 101 in the current washing program, the terminal device 102 can send a washing program change instruction to the washing machine 101, and the washing machine 101 according to the preset The judgment logic and the washing program change instruction change the current washing program without suspending the running of the current washing program, and control the washing machine 101 to continue to run with the changed washing program.

The terminal device 102 may include, but is not limited to, smart phones, tablet computers, personal computers, wearable devices, etc. The terminal device 102 may communicate with the washing machine 101 through communication methods such as WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee (ZigBee), and cellular networks. .

The control process of the washing machine will be explained and described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present application. The present embodiment provides a method for controlling a washing machine, and the specific steps of the method are as follows:

S201. During the running process of the washing machine in the current washing program, receive the information sent by the terminal device.

In this embodiment, when the washing machine is running in the current washing program, if the user needs to change the washing program, he can send a washing program change instruction to the washing machine through the terminal device. Specifically, the terminal device can provide an interface for setting the washing program. The user can view the program parameters of the current laundry program and/or the progress of the current laundry program in real time, wherein the current laundry program may include at least one subprogram, for example, it may include subprograms such as washing, rinsing, dehydration, drying, and shaking. , the user can also modify the current laundry program in the interface of laundry program setting. After the user confirms the modification, the terminal device generates a laundry program change instruction and sends it to the washing machine.

Of course, the laundry program change instruction can also be obtained based on the user's voice instruction or gesture instruction. For example, the terminal device has a voice collection device, which can collect the user's voice instruction. When the user needs to change the laundry program, he only needs to say the corresponding The voice command is sufficient, and the terminal device sends a washing program change command to the washing machine according to the user's voice command.

S202. According to the preset judgment logic and the washing program change instruction, without suspending the running of the current washing program, change the current washing program.

In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the operation of the washing machine does not need to be suspended when changing the current washing program, how to change the current washing program without suspending the running of the current washing program can be determined according to the washing program changing instruction and the preset judgment logic , wherein the preset judgment logic can judge the relationship between the part to be modified by the laundry program change instruction and the first subroutine currently executed by the washing machine, and if the modification is the program parameter of the currently executed first subroutine, it can directly control the washing machine Continue to execute the currently executed first subroutine with the new program parameters, at this time only need to control the currently executed first subroutine without affecting other subroutines; if the modification is not the program parameter of the currently executed first subroutine, If it is the parameter of the second subroutine, it is considered to change the current washing program according to the relationship between the second subroutine and the first subroutine.

S203, controlling the washing machine to continue to run with the changed washing program.

In this embodiment, the current washing program has been changed in the above process, and the washing machine can continue to run with the changed washing program. At this time, the washing machine does not need to be paused, and the user does not need to turn off and start the washing machine.

The washing machine control method provided by this embodiment receives a washing program change instruction sent by a terminal device while the washing machine is running in the current washing program; When the program is running, the current washing program is changed; the washing machine is controlled to continue to run with the changed washing program. In this embodiment, the washing machine program can be flexibly modified during the running process of the washing machine, and there is no need to suspend the washing machine, thereby solving the problem that the washing machine will be damaged by suspending the washing machine during the running process of the washing machine, improving the modification efficiency of the washing machine program, and simplifying the user. Modify the operation of the laundry program to bring convenience to the user and improve the user experience.

In an optional embodiment, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the current laundry program includes at least one subroutine; according to the preset judgment logic and the laundry program change instruction in S202, when all When the current laundry program is running, changing the current laundry program may specifically include:

In this embodiment, if what the laundry program change instruction needs to change is the first program parameter of the currently executed first subprogram, it is desirable to change the first program parameter to the second program parameter, such as the currently executed first subprogram For dehydration, the duration of dehydration needs to be extended from the current one minute to two minutes, because at this time, the laundry program change instruction only involves the first subroutine currently executed, but does not involve other subroutines, or does not affect other subroutines. Therefore, the washing machine can be directly controlled to continue executing the currently executed first subroutine with the second program parameters, that is, in the above example, the dehydration time of the washing machine can be directly controlled to extend to two minutes.

Optionally, the first program parameter includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the rotational speed, duration, number of times, and temperature of the currently executed first subroutine.

In another optional embodiment, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the current laundry program includes at least one subprogram; the step of S202 is based on the preset judgment logic and the laundry program change instruction, when not suspending When the current laundry program is running, modifying the current laundry program includes:

In this embodiment, in one case, if the laundry program change instruction is to change the number of times of the second subprogram, instead of changing the currently executed first subprogram, then continue to execute the currently executed first subprogram, And investigate the relationship between the second subroutine and the first subroutine, and change the current laundry program based on the relationship between the second subroutine and the first subroutine, and then after the currently executed first subroutine is executed, Control the washing machine to continue running with the changed washing program.

Specifically, if the second subroutine is a subroutine whose execution priority is higher than that of the currently executed first subroutine, and the second subroutine is associated with the currently executed first subroutine, then The frequency of the second subroutine is changed, and the frequency of the first subroutine is changed according to the frequency of the second subroutine.

In this embodiment, if the execution priority of the second subroutine is higher than that of the currently executed first subroutine, and the second subroutine is associated with the first subroutine, for example, the second subroutine is a rinse subroutine, which is currently executed The first subroutine is the dehydration subroutine. The execution priority of the rinsing subroutine is higher than that of the dehydration subroutine, and usually a dehydration is required after each rinsing. Therefore, when the number of rinsing subroutines increases by 1, the dehydration subroutine also Usually it needs to be increased by 1 time, that is, after the current dehydration subroutine is executed, the rinsing subroutine is executed, and after the rinsing subroutine is executed, the dehydration subroutine is executed again; similarly, when the number of rinsing subroutines is reduced by 1 , the dehydration subroutine also usually needs to be reduced by 1 time.

In another case, if the laundry program change instruction is to change the number of times of the currently executed first subroutine, then the current execution of the first subroutine is continued at this time, and the difference between the first subroutine and the third subroutine is examined. The current laundry program is changed based on the relationship between the first subprogram and the third subprogram, and after the currently executed first subprogram is completed, the washing machine is controlled to continue to run with the changed laundry program.

Specifically, if the third subroutine is a subroutine whose execution priority is lower than that of the currently executed first subroutine, and the third subroutine is associated with the currently executed first subroutine, then The number of times of the first subroutine is changed, and the number of times of the third subroutine is changed according to the number of times of the first subroutine.

In this embodiment, if the execution priority of the third subroutine is lower than the currently executed first subroutine, and the third subroutine is associated with the first subroutine, for example, the currently executed first subroutine is a rinse subroutine , the third subroutine is the dehydration subroutine, the execution priority of the rinsing subroutine is higher than that of the dehydration subroutine, and usually a dehydration is required after each rinse, so when the number of rinsing subroutines increases by 1, the dehydration subroutine also Usually it needs to be increased by 1 time. Similarly, when the number of rinsing subprograms is decreased by 1 time, the dehydration subprogram also usually needs to be decreased by 1 time.

In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 , when the number of times of the first subroutine is changed according to the number of times of the second subroutine, it can be automatically realized by the washing machine, and of course the terminal can also be inquired. The specific process includes:

S301, sending a request instruction for increasing the number of times of the first subroutine to the terminal device;

S302. Receive a confirmation instruction of the request instruction from the terminal device, and change the number of times of the first subroutine according to the confirmation instruction and the number of times of the second subroutine.

Similarly, when the number of times of the third subroutine is changed according to the number of times of the first subroutine, it can be automatically realized by the washing machine. Of course, the terminal can also be inquired. The specific process includes: sending a message to the terminal device for increasing the number of A request instruction with three subroutine times; receiving a confirmation instruction from the terminal device for the request instruction, and changing the number of the third subroutine according to the confirmation instruction and the number of times of the first subroutine.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the execution priorities among the subprograms may be fixed. For example, the execution priorities among the subprograms are sorted from high to low: washing, rinsing, dehydrating, drying, shaking scattered and so on. Of course, the execution priority among the subprograms can also be customized by the user on the terminal device.

On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 , before the washing machine runs in the current washing program, it further includes:

S401. Receive a laundry program setting instruction sent by the terminal device, where the laundry program setting instruction includes the current laundry program, and the current laundry program includes at least two subprograms set by a user in any order;

S402, controlling the washing machine to run in the current washing program.
