The detection method of the washing machine foam control method is that in the washing stage, the electrode rotation blockage rarely occurs, if the electrode rotation blockage occurs, the generation of foam can be generally judged, and in the dehydration stage, factors influencing the electrode rotation blockage may also have clothes distribution unbalance and the like, so that the electrode needs to be stopped and a foam sensor needs to be intervened. The foam sensor affects the precision due to the contamination of the washing water in the washing process, so the foam sensor intervenes after a few seconds after the motor is stopped, the washing water flows away or drips at the moment, and the existence of the foam can be detected more truly.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the foam can be sensed in time, measures are taken to discharge the foam, the problem that the foam of the existing washing machine easily overflows and blocks the running of the motor is solved, the damage to the motor is avoided, and the structure at the detergent box can prevent the foam from overflowing from the detergent box to pollute the floor and the like.
