The present invention relates to a time indication method for a washing apparatus, as shown in fig. 1, comprising the steps of: s10, acquiring the current running time L and the current TOC parameter D during the running of the washing program; s20, determining a standard TOC parameter C according to a standard relation curve of the TOC parameter and time of the current running time L matching washing program; s30, adjusting a standard relation curve according to the current TOC parameter D and the standard TOC parameter C; s40, determining the remaining time M of the washing program according to the adjusted standard relation curve and the current running time L; s50, the washing program adjusts the washing residual time M and continues washing, and indicates the residual time M of the washing program; adjusting the curve according to the TOC parameter of the current program and the standard TOC parameter of the standard relation curve, and determining the remaining time of the program; taking a washing machine as an example, in the main washing or rinsing process, the TOC value generally gradually increases and tends to be stable, the accurate time judgment of the current program is achieved through a standard relation curve of the TOC parameter and the time set by experiments and the reasonable adjustment according to the actual condition of the TOC parameter in the program running process, the residual running time of the program is indicated, and the user can observe the residual time after the program adjustment, so that the user experience is improved; the TOC represents the total amount of organic carbon in water, the content of carbon represents the total amount of organic matters in water, the mass concentration of carbon represents, not only suspended organic carbon is considered, but also dissolved organic carbon in water can be measured, main components mainly comprise dirt and detergent in the main washing process, the TOC can accurately reflect the material condition in water, as the dirt in clothes gradually enters the water, the TOC value rises, the TOC value tends to be the maximum during washing, the change rate of the TOC value is the minimum, the end of washing can be determined when the TOC parameter reaches a certain value, and finally the washing time in the whole process is determined; in the same way, in the rinsing process, after water is fed, the detergent in the clothes is gradually dissolved in the water, the TOC value also rises, the stability is finally achieved, whether rinsing is finished or not can be judged according to the stable value and the TOC value change rate, and the final time is determined; determining a TOC parameter (TOC value and/or TOC change rate) of different washing programs and a time relation curve as a standard through a plurality of experiments, adopting the standard curve in normal washing, continuously adjusting according to actual conditions to adjust the residual time of the current program washing, and indicating on an indication panel of the washing machine to remind a user; taking rinsing as an example, for example, in the case of a standard curve, rinsing is 8 minutes, and actual comparison shows that the variation rate of the TOC value is smaller than the standard in 2 minutes, the standard curve is adjusted, the rinsing time is 5 minutes, the remaining 3 minutes are more consistent with the real rinsing process than the original indication of 6 minutes, and a user can also reasonably arrange to prepare for drying clothes according to time reference, so that the user experience is improved; on the other hand, the detergent residual capacity of the clothes is strong, the TOC value change rate is still greater than the standard in 2 minutes, the standard curve is adjusted, the rinsing time is 10 minutes, the residual time is 8 minutes, the rinsing time is more than the original time, the rinsing requirement can be better met, and a user can reasonably arrange other matters from the rinsing residual time.

It should be understood that, the TOC parameter (TOC value and/or TOC change rate) versus time curve of different washing programs is determined as a standard through a plurality of experiments, wherein the TOC parameter versus time curve of a certain washing program may form a plurality of standard curves in practical experiments, which are respectively determined according to washing conditions, such as weight, material, dirt degree, amount of washing water, water temperature and other factors, and a certain standard curve is adopted to plan the washing for the time, and then the time is determined, and then the time is continuously adjusted according to the collected practical TOC parameter, another curve in the plurality of standard curves is selected to meet the practical TOC parameter, such as the standard curve of the washing for 2kg, and the washing is started according to the standard curve, after a certain time, the obtained TOC parameter is different from the standard curve, and the TOC parameter at the time may be consistent with the standard curve of the washing for 2.5kg, the standard curve selected to be 2.5kg laundry is adjusted to find the remaining time.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the method can also be adjusted according to an experimental formula, and the relationship between various standard curves can be determined first, such as a function of the difference relationship at a certain time L; for example, a current TOC parameter D and a standard TOC parameter C at a certain time L are obtained, and adjustment is performed according to a functional relationship between a difference P between the current TOC parameter D and the standard TOC parameter C at the certain time L and a difference Q between a current total washing time X and a standard total washing time Y, which can be specifically measured according to an experiment, for example, Q ═ k × P × L; finally, obtaining the current total washing time X according to the functional relation, wherein k is a constant, for example, the TOC change rate is taken as an example, and k is a constant larger than zero; of course, the adjustment means of the present invention may also be a function relationship such as a quadratic function, or a relationship between the ratio of the current TOC parameter D and the standard TOC parameter C as a function of time.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, further comprising, S1, before the washing procedure is started, obtaining parameters of the washing procedure, including the parameters of the laundry, the initial TOC parameter; s2, matching and acquiring a standard relation curve of the TOC parameters and time of the washing program according to the washing parameters and the initial TOC parameters; s3, determining the standard running time of the washing program; s4, indicating standard running time; before the washing program is started, according to the parameters of the washing articles, such as the weight of the clothes, the material of the clothes, the initial TOC parameter after water is fed, and possibly the type of the selected washing program, such as the water temperature, determining a standard relation curve of the TOC parameter and the time of the washing program, indicating the standard running time of the standard relation curve on an indication panel, during washing, adjusting the curve according to the actual condition and indicating the remaining running time of the adjusted curve, filling the scheme of the starting time of the method, and displaying by adopting the standard time; but of course may be a washing time selected or set by the user.

In some embodiments, in order to avoid excessive adjustment times and increase the complexity of the program, in the case of reasonably setting the adjustment time, as shown in fig. 3, in the step of "adjusting the standard relationship curve according to the current TOC parameter D and the standard TOC parameter C", the method further includes, S31, determining whether the difference between the current TOC parameter D and the standard TOC parameter C reaches a preset threshold Δ C; in the subsequent adjustment step, S32, if the threshold value is not reached, the standard relationship curve is not adjusted; if the preset threshold value is reached, adjusting the standard relation curve, and increasing or decreasing the remaining time M of the washing program; therefore, the adjustment times are prevented from being excessive by the condition that the difference value of the current TOC parameter D and the standard TOC parameter C meets the threshold value, the adjustment times are within the threshold value and belong to the variable range of the TOC parameter and the standard, the influence on the whole standard curve is not large, and the washing time is normal; if the difference exceeds the threshold value, the washing is deviated from the standard, the difference between the final washing time and the original standard time is larger, the standard curve needs to be adjusted to meet the actual TOC parameter change condition, the washing time is finally determined by the adjusted standard curve, and the remaining time is displayed; it should be understood that the present invention may also employ the equality or inequality of the current TOC parameter D and the standard TOC parameter C to strictly adjust the strict determination of the standard arrival time.

It should be understood that, regarding the case of increasing or decreasing time, for example, as shown in fig. 12, taking the TOC value change rate in the main wash as an example of the relationship with time, the solid line is the standard curve, at the time L, the obtained TOC value change rate, for example, the change rate a, is significantly smaller than the standard TOC change rate, the standard curve is adjusted to be the first curve, and the washing time is also smaller than the washing time of the original standard curve, so the final remaining time is decreased; similarly, if the variation rate B is greater than the standard TOC variation rate, the standard relation curve is adjusted to be a second curve, and the washing time is also greater than that of the original standard curve, so that the final residual time is increased; taking the TOC value variation rate as an example, it is only a brief explanation, and if the TOC value is considered, or both, the TOC value and the TOC value are considered, a comprehensive judgment is required, wherein the increase or decrease is generally based on a plurality of standard relationship curves measured and set experimentally.

In some embodiments, to simplify the timing of the washing process, L is further included at the beginning of the washing process₀Start timing at intervals L₁Time to run time L_iAcquiring a current TOC parameter Di, wherein i is 0, 1, 2, 3, … …, n; according to the current running time L_iMatching the standard TOC parameter of the washing program with the time to determine the standard TOC parameter C_iThen according to D_iAnd C_iTo adjust the standard relationship curve to determine the remaining time M of the washing program_i(ii) a Therefore, the acquisition, judgment and adjustment are carried out through the discontinuous time, and the excessive execution of the program is reasonably avoided under the condition of meeting the use requirement, so that the aim of optimizing the program is fulfilled; of course L_nShould be less than the time threshold of the present wash program to complete the program.

In some embodiments, to prevent the program adjustment time from being long, the method further includes determining whether the sum of the current running time L and the remaining time M of the adjusted washing program reaches the time threshold T_maxIf the sum of the current running time L and the remaining time M reaches the time threshold T_maxThen the remaining time M is adjusted to the time threshold T_maxSubtracting the current running time L; namely, whether the washing time of the adjusted standard relation curve reaches the time threshold value T or not is judged_maxIf the time threshold (i.e. maximum time) is reached, the washing is executed according to the maximum time, and the remaining time is T_maxL to prevent too long a wash, reducing user experience; general time threshold T_maxThe washing time of the washing program selected by the user or the washing time selected by the user is increased by a reasonable time length in the washing machine system, so that the phenomenon that the time is too long is avoided, and the washing feeling of the user is reduced.

In some embodiments, the washing program comprises a main wash process or a rinse process; as shown in fig. 11, the TOC value of the whole washing process is related to time, and the general washing process includes main washing and rinsing, and the whole process is detailed as follows: water intake-main wash (washing) -water discharge/dehydration-water intake-primary rinse-water discharge/dehydration-water intake-secondary rinse-water discharge/dehydration; in the main washing, the water process is firstly carried out, then the main washing process is carried out, and finally the water is drained and dehydrated; the main washing (washing) process or the rinsing process with stable variation trend of the TOC parameter; the TOC value of the drained water is a value of the end of the main washing process or the rinsing process, and is not referred to; the stability of the TOC value of the inlet water is low, particularly the inlet water of main washing (washing), the dissolving process of the detergent and the fluctuation of the TOC value are large, generally after dissolving for a certain time, the main washing process is started and the judgment basis of the invention is carried out by using the initial TOC parameter; of course, the water inlet and the water discharge can be carried out according to the set time of the washing program and can be used as the basis of subsequent accumulation, and the subsequent accumulation is generally related to the water inlet amount, the water inlet efficiency and the water discharge efficiency; of course, in the case of water inflow, it is necessary to fully dissolve the TOC to obtain stable TOC initial parameters, and a stable determination method after water inflow may be set for setting, which is not described herein.

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.
