Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of washing machines, in particular to a TOC calibration washing control method and system, a storage medium and a washing machine.

Background

The existing washing device, such as a washing machine, usually adopts water quality parameters (such as turbidity) to perform washing control of cleaning and rinsing, and when a turbidity sensor is contaminated with dirt, the measured value is greatly changed, or the clothes are washed under the condition of unqualified water quality, so that the measurement control of the clothes washing is greatly influenced, and the clothes washing control and the resource saving are not facilitated; for example, dirt may accumulate on the surface of the turbidity sensor during long-term use, and the turbidity may fluctuate significantly during this wash measurement, resulting in uncontrollable washing. On the other hand, the washing control is carried out by adopting turbidity, whether the clothes are washed or not is judged according to the change of the turbidity, and then the washing process is controlled or the washing is finished; the turbidity represents the degree of light transmission inhibition of suspended substances in water, the detection effect on insoluble substances in water is better, and the more the insoluble substances in water are, the higher the turbidity is, such as dirt and hair on clothes; however, in the washing process, not only suspended insoluble substances, such as a large amount of surfactant, or pigment, food stain, organic additive, etc. contained in the washing liquid commonly used at present, cannot completely indicate whether the clothes are washed clean by using the turbidity in the washing water, and the corresponding washing control method using the turbidity as a parameter for judgment also has the problem of incomplete washing.

It will be understood that terms such as "having," "including," and "comprising," as used herein, do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or groups thereof.

The invention takes a washing machine as an example to introduce a TOC calibration washing control method of a common washing device, the main washing process of the washing machine comprises main washing and rinsing, the main washing and the rinsing are water inlet, washing and water discharge, and dehydration is carried out when necessary; the main washing mainly has the functions that the dirt leaves the clothes and enters the washing water by using the laundry detergent, and the rinsing mainly washes the residual laundry detergent and a small amount of dirt on the clothes; firstly, a user puts clothes into a washing drum, then detergent is added into a detergent box (or automatically put in the detergent box), a corresponding washing program is selected, and washing is started; the laundry program is the main wash and rinse of the laundry process.

The TOC calibration washing control method of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, is mainly used when the washing process starts in the normal washing program, i.e. after the user selects the washing program and clicks to start, TOC calibration can be performed. The method comprises the following steps: s1, acquiring data, and acquiring a TOC calibration value TOC of the washing water in the washing drum measured by the TOC sensor after the TOC sensor is cleaned at the beginning of washing; s2, judging the condition, and judging whether the calibration value TOC is less than or equal to a third calibration threshold TOC₃(ii) a S3, washing control, when the calibration value TOC is less than or equal to the third calibration threshold value TOC₃Then, the main washing process is executed, and the calibration value TOC and the third calibration threshold value TOC are obtained₃The comparison of (1) determines whether to carry out the main washing process, and can execute the washing under the condition that the obtained calibration value TOC meets the condition without influencing the normal washing program; in the prior art, the method for detecting (turbidity) of washing water to control the washing process and judge the washing degree is not used for actually calibrating and controlling, if the conditions of detecting the pollution of a sensor, the problem of the quality of washing inlet water and the like exist, the subsequent washing control and washing judgment can be greatly influenced, and the judgment of the washing water detection (turbidity sensor) in the washing process is not facilitated; on the other hand, in the prior art, turbidity detection is adopted, soluble organic matters in water cannot be effectively detected, the dirt degree in washing water cannot be completely shown, and control and cleaning judgment are not facilitated; the TOC is calibrated and judged before washing, normal washing (main washing) can be carried out if the detection is qualified, errors are prevented, the washing control efficiency and the accuracy of cleaning judgment are effectively improved, and the purpose of intelligent washing is achieved.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises, if the calibration value TOC is greater than the third calibration threshold TOC₃If so, the execution of the washing program is finished, and an alarm is given and the user is reminded to clean the washing machine; TOC > TOC₃When it is determined that the TOC calibration value is greater than the thresholdIf the value is less than the value, the washing water or the TOC sensor has a problem, which is not beneficial to subsequent washing control, and the clothes are possibly damaged, the washing program needs to be stopped, and the user is reminded to clean the washing machine or check faults; the reminding mode of the user can be an audible alarm, or a visual prompt of a display panel such as graphics, characters, colors and the like, or a prompt based on local area network communication remote end/mobile end display (for example, mobile phone intelligent home interconnection display of alarm content of the washing machine and the like), so that the washing machine and clothes can be effectively protected, and the washing machine can be effectively maintained. The mode can be used as a routine action before each washing and can be used for regular maintenance of the washing machine, and the prior art mostly adopts timing (one month and two months) or does not remind a user to wash the washing machine.

In some embodiments, for example, a single-wash calibration often has human error or accidentally stains the sensor, the determination may be optimized by multiple-wash calibrations, for example, after the first-wash determination is performed, a second-wash determination may be required if the condition is not met, which may specifically include if the calibration value TOC is greater than the third calibration threshold TOC₃If the calibration value TOC does not reach the value capable of carrying out the next main washing, executing the second washing of the TOC sensor, and acquiring the calibration value TOC of the washing water in the washing drum measured by the TOC sensor for the second time after the second washing; then, the TOC calibration value TOC obtained for the second time is judged, and whether the TOC calibration value TOC is less than or equal to a third calibration threshold value or not is judged₃(ii) a If the TOC calibration value TOC obtained for the second time is less than or equal to the third calibration threshold value TOC₃If the time indicates that the requirements are met, executing a main washing process; through setting the second cleaning judgment, detection judgment errors caused by accidental errors are eliminated, and the aim of optimizing washing control is fulfilled; if the calibration value TOC obtained for the second time is larger than the third calibration threshold value TOC₃If the judgment of the two times does not meet the requirement, the washing program is executed again, the alarm is given and the user is reminded to clean the washing machine, and possible accidental errors are discharged; of course, it may be three times or four times; the control of washing is comprehensively considered, and preferably twice.

In some embodiments, for TOC ≦ TOC₃Can be thinnedFor example, it can be determined whether the calibration value TOC is less than or equal to a first calibration threshold TOC₁When the calibration value TOC is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold value TOC₁When the TOC sensor is used for executing the main washing process, the TOC sensor participates in the washing control process, and the calibration value TOC is adopted to indicate that the optimal first calibration threshold TOC is reached₁The subsequent TOC sensor participates in the control and can meet the control requirement, and the calibration value TOC can also be used for calculating the initial calibration value of the subsequent measured TOC value; can judge whether the calibration value TOC meets the TOC₁< TOC ≦ second calibration threshold TOC₂When the calibration value TOC satisfies TOC₁＜TOC≤TOC₂The TOC value is not favorable for participating in the subsequent TOC control washing process (larger than TOC)₁) However, the TOC quality of the washing water does not affect the overall set washing program (less than or equal to TOC)₂More specifically, the subsequent TOC or less₃) Without need of checking or cleaning its TOC sensor or feed water (TOC less than or equal to₂) The main washing process can be executed, but the TOC sensor needs to be stopped, and the TOC value does not participate in the washing control process; can judge whether the calibration value TOC meets the TOC₂< TOC ≦ third calibration threshold TOC₃When the calibration value TOC satisfies TOC₂＜TOC≤TOC₃The TOC value is not favorable for participating in the subsequent TOC control washing process (larger than TOC)₁) The TOC quality of the washing water still does not reach the level that can affect the overall set washing program (less than or equal to TOC)₃) However, the TOC sensor or influent water process already requires testing or cleaning (greater than TOC)₂) If the washing machine is not processed, adverse effects can be caused in the near future, namely, the main washing process can be executed, but the TOC sensor needs to be stopped, the TOC value does not participate in the washing control process, and meanwhile, a user needs to be reminded of washing the washing machine in time; wherein the first calibration threshold TOC₁< second calibration threshold TOC₂< third calibration threshold TOC₃The purpose of efficiently utilizing TOC to control washing is achieved by respectively corresponding to the refined threshold values of the situations.

In some embodiments, for the determination of the refined calibration value TOC, multiple or secondary cleaning checks may be performed, similar to the effect of the embodiments described aboveSimilarly, taking the second cleaning as an example, it is only necessary to judge the specific threshold value differently when the calibration value TOC > the first calibration threshold value TOC₁When the calibration value TOC is not beneficial to generating effects in subsequent TOC control washing, the TOC sensor needs to be cleaned again for judgment, the TOC sensor is cleaned for the second time, and the TOC calibration value TOC of the washing water in the washing drum measured by the sensor is obtained for the second time; then judging whether the TOC calibration value TOC obtained for the second time is less than or equal to the first calibration threshold TOC₁(ii) a First calibration threshold TOC similar to the previous embodiment₁Second calibration threshold TOC₂Third calibration threshold TOC₃The judgment intervals of the three thresholds and the specific operations executed by the three thresholds are not described in detail.

Referring to the specific logic diagrams (fig. 2, 3, 4, 5), as shown in fig. 2, after the washing process is started, the TOC sensor is cleaned by the incoming water, then the water level of the TOC sensor is reached to measure the TOC calibration value of the initial incoming water, and the TOC is determined to be 0 < TOC ≦ TOC₃(ii) a If so, the next step of work can be carried out (the main washing process can be started); if the TOC value does not meet the requirement, the TOC value of the initial washing water is not met, the washing program is finished, and an alarm is given to prompt a user that the sensor needs to be cleaned or the water inlet is questioned and the equipment needs to be maintained.

As shown in FIG. 3, on the basis of FIG. 2, if 0 < TOC ≦ TOC is not satisfied₃If the TOC meets the condition, the next step of work can be carried out (the main washing process can be started), and if the TOC does not meet the condition, the washing program is executed again, the alarm is given, the user is prompted to need to clean, and the equipment needs to be maintained; by two passes, the problem of incidental factors is eliminated.

As shown in FIG. 4, for 0 < TOC ≦ TOC₃Further refining and executing various actions to achieve the aim of efficient washing; specifically, in the condition judgment of the TOC calibration value, it is judged that 0 < TOC.ltoreq.TOC₁If the calibration value is met, adopting a calibration value TOC, enabling a TOC sensor to participate in work, and starting a main washing process; if not, determining TOC₁＜TOC≤TOC₂If yes, the TOC sensor does not participate in the work, the main washing process is started, and the washing is carried out according to a normal washing program; if not, determining TOC₂＜TOC≤TOC₃If yes, alarming, wherein the TOC sensor does not participate in the work, and the main washing process is started and carried out according to a normal washing program; if not, indicating TOC > TOC₃And the washing program is ended; alarming to prompt a user to clean the product, wherein the cleaning is needed; of course, the interval can also be directly matched to the TOC calibration value obtained.

As shown in FIG. 5, the same second cleaning judgment is added, and in addition to FIG. 4, the logic shown in FIG. 4 is used as the logic for the second cleaning calibration judgment, and the first judgment is added, and TOC is used₁Namely, after the TOC calibration value is obtained by the first cleaning, the TOC is judged to be more than 0 and less than or equal to TOC₁If the TOC sensor meets the calibration value, the calibration value TOC is adopted, the TOC sensor participates in the work, and the main washing process starts; if not, cleaning for the second time, and judging the TOC calibration value. Of course, three cases (first calibration threshold TOC) can also be carried out during the first cleaning of the calibration₁Second calibration threshold TOC₂Third calibration threshold TOC₃) When a certain condition is not satisfied, the condition for performing the second cleaning is adopted, and the optimal TOC is not satisfied₁For example, as a condition, since the subsequent TOC value (TOC sensor) is not involved in the critical condition of the washing control, and the second calibration threshold TOC₂Third calibration threshold TOC₃However, the TOC value does not participate, and the subsequent TOC control washing is not facilitated, and only washing that is normally set (based on the number of times or time) is performed.

While embodiments of the invention have been disclosed above, it is not limited to the applications listed in the description and the embodiments, which are fully applicable in all kinds of fields of application of the invention, and further modifications may readily be effected by those skilled in the art, so that the invention is not limited to the specific details without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents.

The foregoing description has been directed to specific embodiments of this disclosure. Other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims. In some cases, the actions or steps recited in the claims may be performed in a different order than in the embodiments and still achieve desirable results. In addition, the processes in the figures do not necessarily require the particular order shown, or sequential order, to achieve desirable results. In some embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing may also be possible or may be advantageous.

In the 90 s of the 20 th century, improvements in a technology could clearly distinguish between improvements in hardware (e.g., improvements in circuit structures such as diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) and improvements in software (improvements in process flow). However, as technology advances, many of today's process flow improvements have been seen as direct improvements in hardware circuit architecture. Designers almost always obtain the corresponding hardware circuit structure by programming an improved method flow into the hardware circuit. Thus, it cannot be said that an improvement in the process flow cannot be realized by hardware physical modules. For example, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), is an integrated circuit whose Logic functions are determined by programming the Device by a user. A digital system is "integrated" on a PLD by the designer's own programming without requiring the chip manufacturer to design and fabricate application-specific integrated circuit chips. Furthermore, nowadays, instead of manually making an Integrated Circuit chip, such Programming is often implemented by "logic compiler" software, which is similar to a software compiler used in program development and writing, but the original code before compiling is also written by a specific Programming Language, which is called Hardware Description Language (HDL), and HDL is not only one but many, such as abel (advanced Boolean Expression Language), ahdl (alternate Hardware Description Language), traffic, pl (core universal Programming Language), HDCal (jhdware Description Language), lang, Lola, HDL, laspam, hardward Description Language (vhr Description Language), vhjhdu (Java Hardware Description Language), and vhigh-Language (Hardware Description Language). It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that hardware circuitry that implements the logical method flows can be readily obtained by merely slightly programming the method flows into an integrated circuit using the hardware description languages described above.
