Detailed Description

The foregoing and other objects, features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, which, taken in conjunction with the annexed drawings, discloses a device for practicing the invention. It should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, new embodiments may be formed by any combination of the embodiments or technical features described below.

In the following description, suffixes such as "module", "component", or "unit" for representing elements are used only for facilitating the description of the present invention, and have no specific meaning per se. Thus, "module," "component," or "unit" may be used in combination.

Referring to fig. 1, the defoaming control method in the washing course of the laundry care device includes the steps of:

acquiring water level data of a water level sensor during a washing process of the laundry care device;

then if the water level data is detected not to accord with the preset value, starting defoaming;

According to the defoaming control method, the beat is changed when the clothes care device is used for washing, the rotating speed of the barrel body of the clothes care device is changed during washing, the purpose of defoaming is achieved, the conditions that foam in the barrel body is more and the washing effect is poor during washing of the clothes care device are avoided, in addition, the condition that the water level sensor cannot sense the water level, the clothes care device continuously discharges water and water overflows the barrel body is avoided. The defoaming method realizes full-automatic defoaming during washing, does not need manual control, and immediately responds after detecting that the water level does not accord with a preset value, so that the normal washing process is not influenced.

The invention will be described in more detail hereinafter by means of specific examples, in which the advantages of the invention will be more apparent.

Example 1

Referring to fig. 2, the defoaming control method in the washing process of the laundry care device specifically includes the steps of:

then judging whether the water level data accords with a preset value, and if the water level data does not accord with the preset value, starting defoaming;

and executing defoaming, switching the washing beat by the clothes care device, and entering a second preset rotating speed mode by the clothes care device from the first preset rotating speed mode, wherein the first preset rotating speed mode is a normal rotating speed mode of a washing process, and the second preset rotating speed mode is the rotating speed of the clothes care device during dehydration. The rotation speed of the barrel body of the clothes care device is increased, high-speed rotation is carried out, and the pressure born by bubbles in the barrel is increased to achieve the purpose of defoaming;

after the clothes care device runs in the second preset rotating speed mode for t minutes, the water level detector acquires water level data again, and if the water level data accords with a preset value, the clothes care device is controlled to enter the first preset rotating speed mode and enter a normal washing mode; otherwise, the clothes care device continues to operate in the second preset rotating speed mode.

In this embodiment, water level data is acquired through a water level sensor, then it is determined whether the water level data meets a preset value, defoaming is started after the water level data does not meet the preset value, water level test is performed again after defoaming is performed, and a normal washing mode is entered after the water level data meets the conditions. The defoaming method realizes full-automatic defoaming, and reduces foam generated by the clothes care device to a proper threshold value in the washing process, so that the washing effect can be improved, and defoaming is realized in the washing process, so that the time is saved, and the conditions of excessive foam and unclean rinsing in the subsequent rinsing process are avoided.

In some preferred embodiments, the second preset rotational speed mode is a rotational speed of dehydration for a number of seconds and/or a rotational speed of dehydration for a number of seconds and for a number of seconds. By means of forward rotation and reverse rotation, the problem that clothes are entangled and are difficult to wash after that is solved. On one hand, the problem that foam is generated from the water body again at a high rotating speed is avoided by a mode of stagnation for a plurality of seconds; on the other hand, the motor is stopped for a plurality of seconds, so that the problem of loss caused by continuous operation of the rotating motor is avoided.

Example 2

Referring to fig. 3, this embodiment is different from embodiment 1 in that after the laundry care device enters the defoaming mode and the laundry care device enters the second preset rotation speed mode, the laundry care device sprays water flow, the sprayed water flow sprays to perform defoaming, and the water flow punctures generated foam by spraying a small amount of water flow, so as to achieve the purpose of defoaming, which saves more time and has higher defoaming efficiency, and compared with the defoaming performed only by spraying water flow, the laundry care device needs less water and saves water resources.

Example 3

Referring to fig. 4, this embodiment is different from embodiment 2 in that, after the laundry care device performs a washing takt switching, and completes a second preset rotational speed mode, the water level sensor obtains the water level and performs water level judgment, and when the water level still does not conform to the preset value, the laundry care device sprays water flow, defoaming is performed by spraying the water flow, otherwise, defoaming is directly completed to enter the first preset rotational speed mode, that is, the normal washing rotational speed mode. In the embodiment, the water level test is performed before the water flow is sprayed, so that step waste is avoided, water resources are saved, and electric energy is saved.

Example 4

Referring to fig. 5, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that it is judged twice before the defoaming enters the normal washing process, the first judgment is to judge whether the water level detected by the water level detector is less than the preset value, if so, it indicates that the defoaming is not completed, the defoaming process is re-entered, if the second judgment is performed, it is judged whether the water level detected by the water level detector is greater than the preset value, if so, the water discharging process is started, the surplus water is discharged, then the normal washing mode is entered, and if not, the normal washing mode is entered directly. In this embodiment, through the secondary judgement, avoided after the clothing nursing device sprays, the water level is too high, after getting into normal washing procedure, the problem that the water body overflows in the clothing nursing device, moreover, through spraying and drainage, reduced the concentration of the detergent in the water body when washing, avoided producing the condition of too much foam once more.

Example 5

Referring to fig. 6, the difference between the embodiment and the embodiment 4 is that the water level sensor is monitored in real time, instead of detecting at intervals, it can determine whether the foam in the tub body of the clothes care device is too much at the first time, avoiding the situation that the foam is too much and water overflows when detecting at intervals, and in the defoaming process, the water level is monitored in real time, and after defoaming, the rotation mode of the clothes care device can be changed from the second preset rotation speed mode to the first preset rotation speed mode at the first time, so as to enter the normal washing mode, thereby saving time and water flow generated when the clothes care device sprays.

In some embodiments, when the rotational mode of the laundry care device washing program enters the second preset rotational speed mode, the laundry care device spraying program is simultaneously started, generating a water flow for defoaming. On the one hand, both start simultaneously, carry out the defoaming, saved the time, on the other hand sprays when rotatory, makes more even when spraying rivers blowout, and defoaming efficiency is higher, and defoaming effect is better.

Example 6

Referring to fig. 7, the present invention also provides a defoaming system for washing a laundry care device, comprising:

the judging module is configured to judge whether the water level in the inner barrel of the clothes care device accords with a preset value or not;

a laundry care device drum, which is used to perform the washing beats matched by the matching module.

When the clothes care device washes, the water level sensor detects water level data and is acquired by the information acquisition module, the acquired information is matched with the washing beat through the matching module, then, the matched washing beat is sent to the clothes care device cylinder to be executed, namely, the clothes cylinder is switched to execute a second preset rotating speed mode by executing the first preset rotating speed mode to perform defoaming, and further, the washing efficiency of the clothes care device is improved in a defoaming mode.

Further, the defoaming system further comprises a water draining module for controlling the clothes care device to execute a water draining program, so that the situation that water is excessive after spraying in the barrel body of the clothes care device and finally overflows is avoided.

The invention also relates to a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program for performing the defoaming method as described above.

The invention also relates to a clothes care device comprising an electronic device comprising: a processor; a memory; and a program, wherein the program is stored in the memory and is configured to be executed by the processor, the program comprising instructions for performing the defoaming method as described above.

The number of equipment and the scale of processing described herein are intended to simplify the description of the present invention. Applications, modifications and variations of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, it is not limited to the details and embodiments shown and described, it is well suited to various fields of use for which the invention would be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and accordingly, the invention is not limited to the specific details and illustrations shown and described herein, without departing from the general concepts defined in the claims and their equivalents.

The apparatus, the electronic device, the nonvolatile computer storage medium and the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure correspond to each other, and therefore, the apparatus, the electronic device, the nonvolatile computer storage medium also have similar beneficial technical effects as those of the corresponding method, and since the beneficial technical effects of the method have been described in detail above, the beneficial technical effects of the corresponding apparatus, the electronic device, the nonvolatile computer storage medium are not described here again.

In the 90 s of the 20 th century, improvements to one technology could clearly be distinguished as improvements in hardware (e.g., improvements to circuit structures such as diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) or software (improvements to the process flow). However, with the development of technology, many improvements of the current method flows can be regarded as direct improvements of hardware circuit structures. Designers almost always obtain corresponding hardware circuit structures by programming improved method flows into hardware circuits. Therefore, an improvement of a method flow cannot be said to be realized by a hardware entity module. For example, a programmable logic device (Programmable Logic Device, PLD) (e.g., field programmable gate array (Field Programmable Gate Array, FPGA)) is an integrated circuit whose logic function is determined by the programming of the device by a user. A designer programs to "integrate" a digital system onto a PLD without requiring the chip manufacturer to design and fabricate application-specific integrated circuit chips. Moreover, nowadays, instead of manually manufacturing integrated circuit chips, such programming is mostly implemented by using "logic compiler" software, which is similar to the software compiler used in program development and writing, and the original code before the compiling is also written in a specific programming language, which is called hardware description language (Hardware Description Language, HDL), but not just one of the hdds, but a plurality of kinds, such as ABEL (Advanced Boolean Expression Language), AHDL (Altera Hardware Description Language), confluence, CUPL (Cornell University Programming Language), HDCal, JHDL (Java Hardware Description Language), lava, lola, myHDL, PALASM, RHDL (Ruby Hardware Description Language), etc., VHDL (Very-High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) and Verilog are currently most commonly used. It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that a hardware circuit implementing the logic method flow can be readily obtained by merely slightly programming the method flow into an integrated circuit using several of the hardware description languages described above.

The controller may be implemented in any suitable manner, for example, the controller may take the form of, for example, a microprocessor or processor and a computer readable medium storing computer readable program code (e.g., software or firmware) executable by the (micro) processor, logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits (Application Specific Integrated Circuit, ASIC), programmable logic controllers, and embedded microcontrollers, examples of which include, but are not limited to, the following microcontrollers: ARC 625D, atmel AT91SAM, microchip PIC18F26K20, and Silicone Labs C8051F320, the memory controller may also be implemented as part of the control logic of the memory. Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that, in addition to implementing the controller in a pure computer readable program code, it is well possible to implement the same functionality by logically programming the method steps such that the controller is in the form of logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, embedded microcontrollers, etc. Such a controller may thus be regarded as a kind of hardware component, and means for performing various functions included therein may also be regarded as structures within the hardware component.
