In the embodiment of the present application, the main execution body of the flow is a terminal device. The terminal devices include but are not limited to: the device comprises a server, a computer, a smart phone, a tablet computer and the like, and can execute the switching method provided by the application. Optionally, when the terminal device is a server, a computer, a smart phone or a tablet computer, the terminal device is in remote communication connection with a washing device, and the washing device is controlled through the remote communication connection, so as to execute the washing program switching method based on the washing device provided by the application. Preferably, the terminal device is a washing device, which is capable of providing a washing service. Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of an implementation of the method provided in the first embodiment of the present application, which is detailed as follows:

in S101, a tank installation identifier of the washing apparatus is acquired.

In this embodiment, the water tank installation identifier is used to identify whether the washing device is installed with a water tank component; the values of the water tank installation identifier comprise a first bit value and a second bit value; the first bit value is used for identifying that the washing equipment is provided with a water tank component; the second value is used to identify that the washing device is not equipped with a cistern part.

In a possible implementation manner, the obtaining of the water tank installation identifier of the washing device may specifically be: the method comprises the steps that a trigger sensor is arranged in a water tank area of the washing equipment, if the water tank is installed on the washing equipment, the water tank can be in contact with the trigger sensor, and therefore a water tank installation identifier with a first bit value as a value fed back by the trigger sensor is obtained.

In a possible implementation manner, the obtaining of the water tank installation identification information of the washing device may specifically be: acquiring an induction value of a photoelectric sensor arranged in a water tank area; and determining the water tank installation identification corresponding to the induction value based on the corresponding relation between the preset induction value and the installation identification. The photoelectric sensor is arranged in a water tank area, illustratively, a sending end of test light is arranged at one end of the water tank area, a receiving end of the test light is arranged at the other end of the water tank area, and the sending end and the receiving end of the test light are both connected with the photoelectric sensor; when the test light is normally transmitted and received, the fact that no object is shielded between the light paths is indicated, the fact that a water tank is not installed in the water tank area is indicated, and the sensing value output by the photoelectric sensor is 1; when the test light is normally sent but not received, it is indicated that an object blocks the transmission of the test light, namely a water tank is arranged in the water tank area, and the induction value output by the photoelectric sensor is 0; when the induction value is 1, the water tank is not installed in the water tank area, namely the induction value with the value of 1 corresponds to the water tank installation identifier at the first position; when the induction value is 0, the water tank is installed in the water tank area, namely the induction value with the value of 0 corresponds to the water tank installation identification of the second position.

It should be understood that, besides the photoelectric sensor provided in this embodiment, the water tank installation identifier may be determined according to other sensors, where the other sensors include sensors such as a hall sensor and a reed switch, and the specific implementation steps refer to those in the art and are not described herein again. In a possible implementation manner, a part of a test circuit is arranged in a water tank installation area, and another part of the test circuit is arranged on a preset water tank, that is, when the water tank is not installed in the water tank installation area, the test circuit does not form a closed loop, and a current sensor cannot detect current generated by the test circuit, so that the water tank installation identifier is determined to be a second bit value; when the water tank is installed in the water tank installation area, the test circuit is connected with the loop, and the current sensor detects the current generated by the test circuit, so that the water tank installation mark is determined to be a first bit value.

It should be understood that the switching method of the washing program provided by the embodiment may be executed when the washing device is to provide the washing service (i.e. when the user instructs the washing device to perform washing), or may be executed in a self-test program of the washing device according to a preset time interval.

In S102, if the tank installation identifier is a first bit value, the current water volume of the tank component is obtained.

In this embodiment, the first bit value is used to identify that the washing device is equipped with a water tank component; if the water tank installation identifier is a first bit value, that is, when the washing equipment is provided with a water tank component, acquiring the current water volume of the water tank, exemplarily, arranging a water pressure sensor at the bottom of the water tank, and presetting a water pressure-water volume conversion formula according to the construction data of the water tank; and calculating the current water quantity of the water tank according to the current water pressure fed back by the water pressure sensor and the preset water pressure-water quantity conversion formula. It should be understood that in a possible implementation manner, the water tank is communicated with the atmosphere once at regular time to ensure that the service life of the water tank is not affected due to excessive internal pressure, and at this time, if the current water pressure fed back by the water pressure sensor is equal to the standard atmospheric pressure, the current water quantity of the water tank is zero.

In a possible implementation manner, the obtaining of the current water amount of the water tank component may specifically be: measuring the current water level of the water tank component through a water level sensor inside the water tank component; and calculating the current water quantity according to the structural information of the water tank component and the current water level. Specifically, a water level sensor is arranged inside the cistern part to measure the current water level of the cistern part, and exemplarily, a buoy is arranged on the cistern part and is always on the water surface in the cistern part for representing the water surface height of the cistern part, namely the current water level, and the water level sensor determines the current water level of the cistern part by confirming the height of the buoy relative to the bottom of the cistern part; according to the structural information of the water tank component, a corresponding relation of the water level and the water quantity of the water tank is established in advance (the corresponding relation can be a conversion function between the water level and the water quantity), and the current water quantity is calculated according to the corresponding relation of the water level and the water quantity and the current water level. Illustratively, according to the configuration information of the cistern member, it is determined that the cistern member is a rectangular parallelepiped, and the length, width and height of the cistern member are l, d and H, respectively, the current water level of the cistern member measured according to the above S401 is H, and the current water volume is Y, then the corresponding relation between the water level and the water volume is Y ═ l × d × H.

It is understood that before the washing process is performed, a portion of the water of the sump member may be consumed at the last time the washing process is performed, such that the current amount of water of the sump member may not be sufficient to support the execution of the washing process once, and thus the current amount of water of the sump member needs to be acquired in order to subsequently determine whether to switch the washing process to the sump mode.

In S103, if the current water amount is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the washing program is switched to the water tank mode.

In this embodiment, the preset threshold refers to a minimum amount of water required in the washing course of the tank mode; if the current water amount calculated in the above S102 is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, that is, there is enough water amount in the water tank component to run the washing program of the above water tank mode, the washing program is switched to the water tank mode. It should be understood that the preset threshold is set in the present embodiment to avoid negative phenomena such as a wrong washing program or unclean washing caused by insufficient water in the water tank when the washing program in the water tank mode is running.

In a possible implementation manner, further, a tableware image is acquired through a camera module built in the washing equipment; determining the water quantity required by the tableware according to the tableware image; the amount of water needed for the dishes is identified as the preset threshold value described in this embodiment. Determining the water quantity required by the tableware according to the tableware image, and specifically, the water quantity required by the tableware can be: determining the number of the tableware according to the tableware image; determining the tableware turbidity according to the tableware image; determining the amount of water required for the dishes based on the number of dishes and/or the turbidity of the dishes. By the implementation mode, water can be used according to needs, and the water quantity needed by the tableware is determined according to the tableware image, so that the purpose of saving water is achieved.

In S104, if the current water amount is smaller than a preset threshold, a prompt message indicating that the water amount in the water tank is insufficient is generated.

In the present embodiment, the preset threshold refers to a minimum amount of water required in a washing course of the water tank mode; if the current water amount calculated in the above step S102 is smaller than the preset threshold, that is, there is not enough water in the water tank to run the washing program in the water tank mode, a prompt message indicating that the water amount in the water tank is insufficient is generated to inform the user that the current water amount in the water tank is insufficient to run the washing program in the water tank mode.

In a possible implementation mode, after the prompt message that the water amount of the water tank is insufficient is generated, the prompt interface corresponding to the prompt message is displayed through the display module of the washing device, and/or the prompt sound corresponding to the prompt message is sent out through the sound module of the washing device, so that a user is reminded that the water amount of the water tank is insufficient.

It should be understood that after the prompt message indicating that the water amount in the water tank is insufficient is generated, the washing process in the water tank mode should be stopped until the current water amount in the water tank is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, that is, after the prompt message indicating that the water amount in the water tank is insufficient is generated, if the washing apparatus is in a state of executing the washing process in the water tank mode, the washing process in the water tank mode should be stopped, whether the current water amount in the water tank is greater than or equal to the preset threshold is monitored according to a preset time interval (the current water amount in the water tank is monitored to monitor whether a subsequent water replenishing operation is performed on the water tank), and if the current water amount in the water tank is monitored to be greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the washing apparatus may continue to execute.

In S105, if the water tank installation flag is the second bit value, the washing program is switched to a non-water tank mode.

In this embodiment, the second bit value is used to identify that the washing apparatus is not equipped with a water tank component; and if the water tank installation identifier is a second bit value, namely when the water tank component is not installed in the washing equipment, switching the washing program to a non-water tank mode. It should be understood that the washing apparatus is not equipped with a cistern member and there are typically other sources of inlet water for washing, typically a tap water line, when the washing program is switched to a non-cistern mode for subsequent provision of washing services.

It should be understood that, in a possible implementation manner, in the process of acquiring the water tank installation identifier, if the water tank installation identifier is not successfully acquired within a preset time period, it should be recognized that the water tank component is not installed in the washing device, and the washing program is switched to a non-water tank mode. If it is identified that the washing appliance is not fitted with a cistern part, it is generally default that the washing appliance is supplied with a source of water other than a cistern, for example tap water.

In this embodiment, by the switching method, the washing device can switch the washing program between the water tank mode and the non-water tank mode as required to simultaneously meet the washing requirements of the washing device with the water tank and the washing device without the water tank, and developers do not need to configure corresponding washing programs for different washing modes, thereby reducing the development amount of washing degrees and being compatible with various different water inlet modes.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic view of an application scenario provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 2, there are 3 kinds of washing apparatuses, which are a washing apparatus with a water tank and can only feed water through the water tank, a washing apparatus without the water tank, and a washing apparatus with a water tank and having a water source other than the water tank (e.g., a tap water pipe), to which the switching method provided by the first embodiment of the present application can be applied. The three kinds of washing equipment can switch the washing program to the washing mode which is suitable for each washing equipment under the current environment by using the switching method provided by the embodiment of the application, so as to provide the washing service in the following. Therefore, the switching method provided by the embodiment of the application is suitable for washing equipment with different water inlet sources, the program development cost of the washing equipment is saved, developers do not need to configure corresponding washing programs for different washing modes, the development amount of washing degree is reduced, and the method is compatible with various different water inlet modes.

Fig. 3 shows a flowchart of an implementation of a handover method according to a second embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 3, in comparison with the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the handover method provided in this embodiment further includes S301, which is described in detail as follows:

in S301, the washing program is switched to a water tank mode if a sensing signal fed back from a water level sensor installed inside the water tank is received.

In this embodiment, the sensing signal is a signal generated when the water level sensor detects that the water level is higher than or equal to a preset water level threshold. Specifically, a water level sensor is disposed inside the water tank component, and when the water level inside the water tank component is higher than or equal to a preset water level threshold, the water level sensor generates the sensing signal and feeds the sensing signal back to the washing device to instruct the washing device to switch the washing program to the water tank mode.

It should be understood that the water level sensor may be a measuring instrument that measures the water level inside the tank part in real time, measures the water level in real time and compares the water level with the preset water level threshold; or the water sensor may be installed at a height corresponding to the preset water level threshold inside the water tank component, that is, when the water sensor contacts water, indicating that the water level inside the water tank component is higher than or equal to the preset water level threshold, the water sensor generates the sensing signal.

It should be understood that if the above sensing signal is not received, the washing program is switched to the non-water tank mode.

In this embodiment, it may be determined whether the washing apparatus is installed with the water tank component and whether the water level inside the water tank component is higher than or equal to a preset water level threshold through the water level sensor, and if an induction signal fed back because the water level inside the water tank component is higher than or equal to the preset water level threshold is received, that is, it is determined that the water tank component is installed in the washing apparatus at the same time, that is, a condition that the washing apparatus performs a washing procedure in the water tank mode is satisfied, the washing procedure is switched to the water tank mode. By the switching method of the embodiment, the aim of switching the washing program can be fulfilled only by one water level sensor.

Fig. 4 shows a flowchart of an implementation of a handover method according to a third embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 4, in comparison with the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the handover method provided in this embodiment further includes S401 to S403, which are detailed as follows:

in S401, when the washing apparatus is in the water inlet stage, the outlet flow rate of the water tank component is monitored.

In this embodiment, in a possible implementation manner, the monitoring of the flow rate of the outlet water of the water tank component may specifically be: and a water flow meter is arranged at a water outlet of the water tank component, and the water outlet flow rate of the water tank component is monitored through the water flow meter. .

In S402, if the outlet flow rate meets a preset flow rate condition, the washing program is switched to a water tank mode.

In this embodiment, the preset flow rate condition refers to a water demand when the washing program uses water; if the outlet water flow rate meets the preset flow rate condition, the water used for the washing program comes from the water tank component, namely the washing equipment is confirmed to be provided with the water tank component and uses the water in the water tank component, and the washing program is switched to the water tank mode.

In S403, if the effluent flow rate does not meet the preset flow rate condition, the washing program is switched to a non-water tank mode.

In this embodiment, the preset flow rate condition refers to a water demand when the washing program uses water; if the outlet water flow rate does not meet the preset flow rate condition, the water used in the washing program is not from the water tank component, that is, the washing program is not suitable to be switched to the water tank mode at the present stage, and the washing program can only be switched to the non-water tank mode.

It will be appreciated that when the washing apparatus enters the water inlet phase, it is possible to do without regard to whether the current washing program is in the cistern mode or the non-cistern mode, since the water inlet phase is a common phase of the two modes; the switching method provided by this embodiment can be replaced with the technical solution of the first embodiment, and can also achieve the effect of switching the washing program.

In this embodiment, whether the water inlet source of the water flowing into the washing chamber of the washing apparatus is the water tank at the water inlet stage is identified by monitoring the water outlet flow rate of the water tank, so as to switch the washing program later; and if the water outlet flow rate of the water tank meets the preset flow rate condition, identifying that the water inlet source is the water tank, and switching the washing program to a water tank mode, otherwise, identifying that the water inlet source is not the water tank, and switching the washing program to a non-water tank mode.

Fig. 5 shows a flowchart of an implementation of a handover method according to a fourth embodiment of the present application.

In this embodiment, the washing device actively searches for a terminal device communicably connected within a range when being started, and sends a request for establishing a communication connection; after the prompt message that the water quantity of the water tank is insufficient is generated, if at least one terminal device in communication connection with the washing device is detected to exist at present, selecting a state identifier as a target terminal in use from all the terminal devices; the target terminal with the state identification being in use refers to a target terminal being used by a user, such as a television being watched by the user, such as a range hood used by the user during cooking; and sending the prompt message of insufficient water quantity of the water tank to the target terminal so as to display the prompt message of insufficient water quantity of the water tank through a display module of the target terminal and enable a user to see the prompt message when the user uses the target terminal. It should be understood that there may be more than one target terminal, and when there are multiple target terminals, the prompt message indicating that the water amount in the water tank is insufficient is sent to the multiple target terminals at the same time, and all the target terminals are instructed to display the prompt message, so that the user can see the prompt message in time.

In one possible implementation, detecting that there are currently terminal devices, including a television, a range hood, and a mobile terminal, in communication with the washing device; the television and the mobile terminal are in an open state, namely the state identifiers of the television and the mobile terminal are both in use, the smoke exhaust ventilator is in a power-on state but the smoke exhaust ventilator function is not started, and at the moment, the state identifier of the smoke exhaust ventilator is identified as unused; selecting a target terminal with a state identifier in use from all the terminal devices, namely identifying the television and the mobile terminal as the target terminal; and sending prompt information of insufficient water quantity of the water tank to the target terminal, indicating the target terminal to display the prompt information, namely displaying the prompt information on a display screen of the television, and displaying the prompt information on the display screen of the mobile terminal.

In S702, if it is monitored that the current water amount reaches a preset maximum water amount, the water inlet check valve of the water tank component is closed.

In this embodiment, in the process of replenishing water to the water tank in S701, attention needs to be paid to a stop time of the water replenishing process, that is, whether the current water volume reaches a preset maximum water volume value is detected, where the maximum water volume value refers to a maximum water volume that can be accommodated by the water tank; and if the current water amount is monitored to reach the preset maximum water amount, closing the water inlet one-way valve of the water tank to stop the water tank from continuously feeding water.

It should be understood that, in another possible implementation manner, after the prompt message of insufficient water quantity in the water tank is generated, a switching request message for prompting switching of the washing program is generated; after receiving the water supplementing confirmation information, receiving a switching confirmation instruction based on the switching request information feedback; if the switching confirmation instruction indicates that the washing program is switched to a water tank mode, switching the washing program to the water tank mode after the water inlet check valve of the water tank is closed; if the switching confirmation instruction indicates that the washing program is switched to the non-water tank mode, the washing program is switched to the non-water tank mode (it should be understood that the washing apparatus can continue the steps of S701 to S702 to replenish water to the water tank when the washing program is switched to the non-water tank mode).

In this embodiment, by the method of this embodiment, after the prompt message indicating that the water amount in the water tank is insufficient is generated, the water supplement confirmation message is received to supplement water to the water tank, so that the water in the water tank can be conveniently used for washing in the subsequent step.

At this time, it is required to test whether the washing apparatus can switch the washing course to the non-tank mode. Closing the water outlet one-way valve of the water tank, and starting a water inlet test program, wherein the water inlet test program is used for testing whether water enters a washing cavity of the washing equipment when the water outlet one-way valve of the water tank is closed, namely testing whether the washing equipment has other sources of water besides the water tank.

In S802, a flow rate of water corresponding to a water inlet at the washing chamber is obtained.

In this embodiment, a water flow speed counter is disposed at the water inlet of the washing chamber, and a water flow speed corresponding to the water inlet of the washing chamber is obtained according to the water flow speed counter.

In S803, if the water flow rate satisfies a preset washing trigger condition, the washing program is switched to a non-tank mode.
