The Control unit may be a micro Control unit (mcu).

The motor is mechanically connected with the washing barrel and used for driving the washing barrel to rotate for washing or dewatering. The water level sensor is installed in the wash bucket, detects the water level in the wash bucket through the surface of water liquid level that detects in the wash bucket.

And, the detection device that soaks can be capacitanc detection device, and the detection device that soaks includes the electric capacity of constituteing by two relative sheetmetals promptly, and the surface of sheetmetal is provided with the insulating layer, through the capacitance value that detects between the sheetmetal, detects whether there is the soaking signal.

The drain pump is used for communicating the pipeline of the washing tub and the water outlet pipe, under the condition that the drain pump is in a closed state, water in the washing tub cannot pass through the drain pump, and under the condition that the drain pump is in an open state, water in the washing tub can flow into the water outlet pipe through the drain pump.

In a specific implementation, the control unit of the washing machine detects the water level in the washing tub through the water level sensor under the condition that the flooding detection device detects the flooding signal, and determines whether water exists in the washing tub of the washing machine. And under the condition that water exists in the washing tub and the water level is higher than the preset value, opening a drainage pump of the washing machine to drain the water in the washing tub.

The washing machine detects whether a soaking signal exists through a soaking detection device connected with the control unit; and detecting a water level in the washing tub through a water level sensor connected to a control unit; and under the condition that the flooding detection device detects a flooding signal and the water level sensor detects that the water level in the washing barrel is higher than a preset value, the control unit turns on the drainage pump so as to drain the water in the washing barrel. More water in the washing barrel can be prevented from leaking to the floor, and the risk of further expansion of the water immersion area is reduced.

Referring to fig. 2, the control unit is configured with a detection module for performing resistance detection on a resistance value between the first probe and the second probe.

It is understood that the domestic water contains impurities such as minerals, and in the absence of water between the first probe and the second probe, the two probes are nearly open-circuited, and the resistance value is infinite, and in the presence of water between the first probe and the second probe, the resistance value between the two probes becomes small due to the conductive function of water. That is, whether flooding has occurred or not can be determined by resistance detection.

In one embodiment, the electrical conductivity between the first probe and the second probe may also be detected, and the flooding signal may be generated if the electrical conductivity between the first probe and the second probe is greater than a preset conductivity threshold.
