Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly relates to a control method of washing equipment.

Background

Along with the improvement of science and technology and the improvement of living standard of people, the intelligent demand on household appliances is higher and higher, and washing equipment is required to have a good washing and cleaning effect and also to be capable of completing a better washing and protecting function, however, the washing strength is higher, the washing effect of clothes is better, and the clothes are easier to wear and tear along with the higher washing strength.

In order to improve the washing effect of clothes, various washing balls exist in the market, a user puts the washing balls in a barrel during the washing process to improve the washing effect, even realize specific additional effects, when the washing balls are contacted with the clothes, the washing balls are beneficial to washing the clothes, but the friction force applied to the clothes cannot be detected and cannot be controlled, and the clothes are easily damaged.

Furthermore, the existing washing equipment cannot effectively identify the material of the clothes, the clothes made of different materials or the clothes with different surface roughness are suitable for being washed by adopting different washing procedures in the actual washing process, the strong washing procedure is adopted for the clothes made of light and thin materials or the clothes with rough surface textures, so that the risk of damaging the clothes is caused, the heavy clothes or the clothes with smooth surface are suitable for being washed by adopting higher washing strength, and therefore a technology for intelligently controlling the clothes washing process according to the friction force information received by the clothes is urgently needed.

The present invention has been made in view of this situation.

Disclosure of Invention

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art, and provide a control method for a washing device, wherein the washing device determines material information and/or physical property information of clothes according to friction force information of the clothes, and further performs adaptive washing on the clothes according to the information, so as to achieve a good washing and protecting effect.

In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts the technical scheme that:

a method for controlling a washing apparatus having a control device and a washing chamber for containing laundry, the washing chamber having a friction force detecting device disposed therein, the method comprising:

the friction force detection device detects the friction force information of the clothes in the washing chamber of the washing equipment;

the friction force detection device or the control device acquires the material information and/or the physical property information of the clothes according to the friction force information and controls the operation of the washing equipment according to the material information and/or the physical property information.

In the scheme, the washing equipment determines the material information and/or the physical property information of the clothes according to the friction force information of the clothes, and then adaptively washes the clothes according to the information, so that a good washing and protecting effect is achieved.

Preferably, the washing equipment comprises a driving part for driving the clothes and/or the friction force detection device to move, the control device controls the driving part to idle and drive the clothes and/or the friction force detection device to move so as to detect the friction force information applied to the clothes, the friction force detection device or the control device judges the material information and/or the physical property information of the clothes according to the friction force information, selects a corresponding washing program according to the material information and/or the physical property information, and controls the washing equipment to execute the washing program;

preferably, the driving part is a pulsator and/or an inner tub rotatably disposed in the washing chamber.

In the above scheme, the washing equipment controls the impeller and/or the inner barrel to rotate before water enters so as to drive the clothes and the friction force detection device to move relatively, and in the process, the friction force detection device detects the friction force information applied to the clothes.

Preferably, the washing device comprises an intelligent washing mode, after the mode is selected by a user, the washing device detects friction force information on the dried clothes before water enters the washing device, after the friction force information is detected, a corresponding washing program is obtained after a series of data processing, then the washing device is controlled to enter the water, and the washing program is executed.

Preferably, the physical property information of the clothes comprises a compliance parameter s for identifying the softness degree of the clothes, the control device or the friction force detection device calculates the compliance parameter s of the clothes according to the friction force information, and then the operation of the washing equipment is controlled according to the compliance parameter s;

the compliance parameter s is determined according to the change rate of the friction force, and the larger the change rate of the friction force is, the larger the corresponding compliance parameter s is; the softness parameter represents the softness of the clothes, the clothes are more pliable and easy to deform when being subjected to external force, and the friction force information detected by the friction force detection device is large in change.

Preferably, the compliance parameter S is obtained by the formula of S | (f (t1+ t) -f (t 1)). a |, f (t1) is the friction force applied to the clothes at the time of t1, (f (t1+ t) is the friction force applied to the clothes after a set time t passes from t1, a is a compliance coefficient and is a fixed value, and t is a set time interval, preferably 0.1S-2S, wherein the larger the compliance parameter S is, the more the clothes are compliant.

Preferably, the washing equipment comprises washing programs respectively aiming at different softening parameters s, and the control device selects the corresponding washing program according to the softening parameters s of the clothes to be washed;

preferably, the greater the compliance parameter of the laundry, the less washing intensity of the washing program selected by the control device.

In the above scheme, the more flexible the clothes are, the lighter and thinner the fabric or the soft texture structure is, the easier the fabric is stressed and deformed, the change of the friction force information detected by the friction force detection device is large, for example, the knitted fabric is soft and easy to deform, so that a washing program with low washing strength is preferably selected in the washing process to achieve a better washing and protecting effect.

For example, the thicker and harder the clothes are, the more heavy the fabric is, or the hardness of the texture is stable and not easy to deform, and the change of the information of the friction force detected by the friction force detecting device is small, for example, the thick and hard structure of the woven fabric is suitable for a washing program with high washing strength, so that the washing effect is good.

Preferably, the physical property information of the clothes comprises a texture roughness parameter m for identifying the roughness of the surface texture of the clothes, the control device or the friction force detection device calculates the texture roughness parameter m of the clothes according to the friction force information, and then the operation of the washing equipment is controlled according to the texture roughness parameter m;

the texture roughness parameter m is determined according to the friction force of the contact friction between the clothes and the friction force detection device; the larger the friction value of the contact friction is, the rougher the surface of the clothes is, the larger the friction coefficient is, and the larger the texture of the surface of the clothes is.

Preferably, the texture roughness parameter m is obtained by the formula m ═ f (t0)) × b, where f (t0) is the detected friction value corresponding to the moment t0 when the washing device drives the clothes in the washing chamber and/or the friction force detection device starts to move, and b is a roughness coefficient and is a fixed value; wherein, the larger the texture roughness parameter m is, the rougher the texture of the surface of the clothes is.

In the formula, the texture roughness of the surface of the clothes is determined by detecting the friction force corresponding to the moment t0 when the clothes and/or the friction force detection device in the washing chamber start to move, so that the method is more accurate and prevents errors.

Preferably, the washing equipment comprises washing programs respectively aiming at different texture roughness parameters m, and the control device controls and selects the corresponding washing program according to the texture roughness parameters m of the clothes to be washed;

preferably, the greater the texture roughness parameter m of the laundry, the less washing intensity of the washing course selected by the control means.

In the above scheme, the larger the texture roughness parameter m of the laundry is, the more easily the abrasion is generated, so that it is suitable for selecting a washing program with small washing intensity.

Preferably, the control device or the friction force detection device further judges the material information of the clothes according to the physical property information of the clothes, and controls the operation of the washing equipment according to the material information of the clothes;

preferably, the control device or the friction force detection device judges the material information of the clothes according to the compliance parameter s and/or the rough texture parameter m of the clothes, and selects the corresponding washing program according to the material information.

Preferably, different values of the fabric softening parameter s and/or the texture roughness parameter m correspond to different material information representing the fabric, and the different material information corresponds to different washing procedures representing washing equipment; the control device determines the material information of the clothes according to the compliance parameter s and/or the rough texture parameter m, and then determines the corresponding washing program according to the material information.

In the above scheme, because the fabric softening parameter s and the texture roughness parameter m of different materials are different, different combinations of the fabric softening parameter s and the texture roughness parameter m can be established to correspond to different material information, and then corresponding washing procedures, such as cotton and linen washing, chemical fiber washing, wool washing and the like, are selected according to the material of the fabric.

Preferably, the controlling the operation of the washing device according to the material information and/or the physical property information further includes controlling the washing device to automatically put in the corresponding washing additives according to the material information and/or the physical property of the laundry, or prompting the user to add the corresponding washing additives.

In the scheme, the control device or the friction force detection device directly controls the washing equipment to automatically put in appropriate washing additives according to the material information of the clothes, for example, different washing additives are required to be selected for wool materials and cotton and linen materials, the wool materials are suitable for neutral or acidic washing agents, and the cotton and linen materials are suitable for alkaline washing agents.

Preferably, the friction force detection device is put in the washing chamber, the friction force detection device is in communication connection with the control device, the detected friction force information received by the clothes is sent to the control device, and the control device determines the material information and/or the physical property information of the clothes according to the friction force information.

In the above scheme, the friction force detection device is wirelessly connected with the control device to realize data transmission, and the friction force detection device can freely move in the washing chamber to be beneficial to acquiring accurate friction force information.
