Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort, based on the embodiments in this disclosure are intended to be within the scope of this disclosure. In addition, technical features related to different embodiments of the present disclosure described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not make a conflict with each other.

Washing machines are common household appliances, and the washing machine main body is limited to be used in a fixed position due to the need of connecting a water inlet and a water outlet pipe. In a home laundry scenario, a user needs to manually place laundry to be cleaned in a washing tub of a washing machine and then manually select a desired washing program, which is not intelligent.

Based on the problems in the related art described above, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a laundry cleaning apparatus and an apparatus control method, which aim to improve the intelligence degree of the apparatus, simplify the laundry cleaning operation, and improve the cleaning effect.

In a first aspect, the disclosed embodiments provide a laundry cleaning apparatus comprising a carrying apparatus and a cleaning apparatus.

For example, as shown in fig. 1, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the cleaning device 100 and the carrying device 200 may establish a communicable connection directly, for example, both may establish a communicable connection by way of a wired connection; for another example, the two may establish a communication connection through a wireless connection, and the wireless connection may include, for example, bluetooth, wiFi, UWB (Ultra Wide Band), zigBee, and the like, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

In other embodiments, the cleaning apparatus 100 and the carrying apparatus 200 may also establish a wireless communication connection through the network 300, where the network 300 may be a local area communication network or a wide area communication network. For example, in one example, the network 300 may be a home WiFi network through which the cleaning device 100 and the carrying device 200 establish a communicable connection.

In some embodiments, the carrying apparatus 200 is mainly used to carry laundry to be cleaned and collect laundry information of the laundry to be cleaned. In particular, the carrying device 200 may have one or more carrying chambers, which are cavity structures in which objects can be placed, so that a user can place laundry to be cleaned in the carrying chambers.

The carrying device 200 further comprises a moving device and an information acquisition device, wherein the moving device is used for driving the carrying device to move autonomously, so that the carrying device can carry the clothes to be cleaned in the carrying cavity from the current position to the cleaning device. The information collecting device may be disposed in the carrying chamber of the carrying apparatus 200, so as to collect laundry information of laundry to be cleaned placed in the carrying chamber, and the laundry information may include weight information, material information, color information, type information, etc., for example, which is not limited in this disclosure.

In some embodiments, the cleaning apparatus 100 includes a cleaning chamber for placing the laundry carried by the carrying apparatus 200, and the cleaning apparatus 100 may perform predetermined cleaning of the laundry by performing a predetermined cleaning process.

For example, the cleaning apparatus 100 may be a washing machine having a drum for placing laundry to be cleaned, the washing machine driving the drum to rotate by a driving mechanism such as a motor, etc., to perform washing of the laundry to be cleaned. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that this disclosure is not repeated.

It will be appreciated that there is also some difference in the corresponding cleaning procedure for different materials, colors, types of clothing.

For example, in the case of wool-based clothes, wool is very prone to shrink when wet and at a temperature of 40 ℃ or above and mechanical force is present, so that in the case of "wool washing" in the cleaning process, the water content of the cleaning device 100 should be high, the water temperature low and the washing mechanical force weak, thereby reducing the risk of shrinkage of the clothes.

For example, the down jacket is taken as an example, the down inside the down jacket is light in filling weight, and the surface is made of high-density fabric and has a certain waterproof function, so that washing and infiltration are difficult, water is difficult to separate after infiltration, and filling agglomeration is easy to cause. Therefore, in the case of the "down jacket wash" cleaning procedure, the water amount is high in the infiltration stage, and the infiltration is required while rotating, and the dehydration is also required to be performed in multiple times.

It can be seen that the cleaning apparatus 100 should employ different cleaning procedures for different clothes to achieve a good washing effect. In the related art, the cleaning apparatus 100 often provides a plurality of different options for a user to manually select a washing program, for example, the user may select for "water amount", "time", "rotational strength", and some cleaning apparatuses 100 also provide some material options, for example, "wool", "down jackets", etc.

However, for users, they often do not have strong professional washing knowledge, only can select a cleaning program by experience, and the operation is complicated, and the cleaning effect of clothes is poor, even the clothes are damaged.

Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the carrier device 200 collects laundry information of laundry to be cleaned, and the cleaning device 100 may generate an optimal target cleaning program according to the laundry information and then clean the laundry to be cleaned based on the target cleaning program. The user does not need to manually select various washing parameters, so that the user operation is simplified, and the cleaning device 100 can be pertinently matched with an optimal cleaning program, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the laundry and reducing the risk of damage to the laundry.

For example, in one example scenario, a user puts changed dirty clothes in a bedroom into the carrying device 200, and the carrying device 200 collects one or more pieces of clothes information of the clothes to be cleaned through the information collecting device. The carrying device 200 then automatically carries and places the laundry to be cleaned in the cleaning device 100 of the bathroom, and simultaneously transmits the laundry information to the cleaning device 100 by wireless communication. The cleaning apparatus 100 determines a corresponding target cleaning program according to the received laundry information, and completes cleaning of the laundry to be cleaned based on the target cleaning program.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the conveying of the clothes to be cleaned is automatically realized by using the carrying device, the clothes are not required to be manually placed by a user, the user operation is simplified, and the intelligent degree of the device is improved. Moreover, the carrying device is used for collecting the clothes information of the clothes to be cleaned, the cleaning device determines a target cleaning program based on the clothes information, a user does not need to manually select washing parameters, the intelligent degree is further improved, the optimal cleaning program can be pertinently matched, the clothes cleaning effect is improved, and the risk of damage to the clothes is reduced.

It may perform single-threaded or multi-threaded operations for parsing instructions to perform operations such as fetching data, performing logical operation functions, and delivering operational processing results.

The first communication module 240 is a functional module for establishing a communication connection with the cleaning apparatus 100, providing a physical channel. In the present disclosure, the first communication module 240 may be any type of wireless module, including, but not limited to, bluetooth, wiFi, UWB (Ultra Wide Band), zigBee module, etc., to which the present disclosure is not limited.

The moving device 260 is a mechanical structure for driving the carrying apparatus 200 to autonomously move, and in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a specific structure of the moving device 260 is not limited, and may be any structure suitable for realizing a moving function. For example, in fig. 3, the moving device 260 includes a roller disposed at the bottom of the carrying device 200, and a motor system for driving the roller to rotate, which will be understood by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail in this disclosure.

The driving means 270 is a mechanical structure for driving the laundry to be cleaned in the loading chamber to be placed in the cleaning apparatus 100. It will be appreciated that, taking a washing machine as an example, the washing machine is often provided with an opening on a side or an upper surface of the washing drum, and a user can put the laundry to be cleaned into the washing drum through the opening, so that, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the driving device 270 can drive the carrying device 200 to act when the laundry to be cleaned is carried to the washing machine, and the laundry to be cleaned originally placed in the carrying cavity is placed in the washing drum of the washing machine.

As for the mechanical structure of the driving device 270 for achieving the above-described functions, those skilled in the art will certainly understand and fully realize with reference to the related art, and this disclosure will not be repeated.

In the example of fig. 3, the first rail 251 is a circular rail disposed on the inner wall of the carrying chamber 201 in a horizontal direction, so that the camera 252 can slide around the rail.

It will be appreciated that clothing items are often made of flexible material and therefore tend to fold when placed in the carrying chamber 201, and that clothing items placed therein may be subject to differences in illumination at different angles due to the depth of the carrying chamber 201. If the fixed position camera 252 is used to collect the image of the laundry, the quality of the collected image may be poor, and it is difficult to identify the information such as the type or color of the laundry.

Therefore, in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first guide rail 251 is disposed at the open end of the carrying cavity 201, and the camera 252 may slide along the first guide rail 251, so that image data with clean clothes at different angles may be collected, interference of shooting angles and folding of clothes is reduced, and recognition accuracy is improved.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the information acquisition device 250 of the disclosed examples further includes a spectral sensor 253. The spectrum (spectrum) is known as the optical spectrum, which is one of the properties of substances, each substance having its own unique spectrum, the substances being different, the spectra also differing. With the development of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System ) technology, the miniaturization of the spectrum sensor is possible, and the spectrum sensor 253 is a miniaturized spectrum sensor, so that spectrum data of different substances can be effectively collected by using the spectrum sensor 253.

The carrying device 200 autonomously moves to the cleaning device 100 based on a preset position of the cleaning device 100, and places laundry to be cleaned in the cleaning device 100 by the driving means. Meanwhile, the carrying device 200 may transmit the above-collected laundry information to the cleaning device 100 based on the communication module.

The cleaning apparatus 100 may perform data processing on the respective laundry information after obtaining the laundry information transmitted from the carrying apparatus 200. For example, in one example, the cleaning apparatus 100 performs image detection based on the received image data, resulting in the type information of laundry to be cleaned being "sweater" and the color information being "white". For another example, the cleaning apparatus 100 performs data processing based on the received spectrum data, resulting in the texture information of the laundry to be cleaned being "wool". For example, in still another example, the cleaning apparatus 100 receives the weight information of the laundry to be cleaned as "300g".

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after obtaining the weight information, the material information, the type information, and the color information, for example, as described above, the cleaning apparatus 100 may determine the corresponding target cleaning program according to the laundry information.

In some embodiments, a plurality of different cleaning programs may be stored in the second memory 120 of the cleaning apparatus 100 in advance, so that the cleaning apparatus 100 determines one cleaning program, i.e., a target cleaning program, from among the plurality of cleaning programs according to laundry information. Then, the second processor 110 of the cleaning apparatus 100 may perform the target cleaning process to clean the laundry to be cleaned.

In other embodiments, the cleaning apparatus 100 may determine respective cleaning parameters according to the laundry information, and then determine a target cleaning program according to the respective cleaning parameters.

For example, the cleaning apparatus 100 is exemplified by a washing machine, and the cleaning parameters of the washing machine for washing laundry mainly include water amount, water temperature, rotation speed, rotation stop ratio, time, etc., so that in the embodiment of the disclosure, the cleaning apparatus 100 may determine the parameter value corresponding to each cleaning parameter according to one or more pieces of laundry information described above. For example, in the above example, according to the clothes information of the "sweater" of the clothes to be cleaned, the parameter values such as the water quantity, the water temperature, the rotating speed, the rotation stop ratio, the time and the like are determined, and the corresponding target cleaning program is obtained. Then, the second processor 110 of the cleaning apparatus 100 may perform the target cleaning process to clean the laundry to be cleaned.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, a user does not need to manually put clothes into the cleaning device or manually select the cleaning program, so that the user operation is greatly simplified, the user experience is improved, the cleaning device determines the optimal cleaning program according to the clothes information, the cleaning effect is improved, and the damage risk of the clothes is reduced.

It will be appreciated that the weight sensor provided at the bottom of the load-bearing chamber may detect a change in weight before and after the laundry is put in, so that it is possible to determine that the laundry is put in the load-bearing chamber when a change in weight is detected.

For example, in still other embodiments, an image capture device may be used to detect whether laundry is placed in the load bearing cavity. It will be appreciated that in the process of putting in the laundry to be cleaned, there is a movement change in the field of view of the image acquisition device, so that the image acquisition device can be used to detect a moving object, and when the moving object is detected to be present, the laundry to be cleaned is determined to be put in the carrying cavity.

Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are many ways of detecting whether or not laundry is to be cleaned into the carrying chamber, such as by an infrared sensor or the like, which is not enumerated by the present disclosure.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when it is determined that the laundry to be cleaned is put into the carrying cavity of the carrying device 200, each information acquisition device may be started to acquire each item of laundry information of the laundry to be cleaned.

For example, in the example of fig. 3, image data of the laundry to be cleaned may be acquired by the camera 252, spectrum data of the laundry to be cleaned may be acquired by the spectrum sensor 253, and weight information of the laundry to be cleaned may be acquired by the weight sensor 255, where the information data are all laundry information of the laundry to be cleaned.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cleaning apparatus 100 may process the laundry information after receiving the laundry information transmitted from the carrying apparatus 200. For example, in one example, the cleaning apparatus 100 performs image detection based on the received image data, resulting in type information and/or color information of laundry to be cleaned. For another example, the cleaning apparatus 100 performs data processing based on the received spectrum data to obtain material information of the laundry to be cleaned. For example, in still another example, the cleaning apparatus 100 receives weight information of laundry to be cleaned.

After obtaining the weight information, the material information, the type information, and the color information, for example, the cleaning apparatus 100 can determine the corresponding target cleaning program according to the laundry information.

In some embodiments, a plurality of different cleaning programs may be stored in the second memory 120 of the cleaning apparatus 100 in advance, so that the cleaning apparatus 100 determines one cleaning program, i.e., a target cleaning program, from among the plurality of cleaning programs according to laundry information.
