DETAILED DESCRIPTION



[0022] In order to enable the ordinary personnel in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present disclosure, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the description and claims of the present disclosure and the above drawings, are used to distinguish similar objects, but not necessarily used to describe a specific sequence or order. It is to be understood that the data so used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the present disclosure described here can be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described here. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. By contrast, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as recited in the appended claims.

[0024] In the related art, for some washing equipment that is not provided with an operation button for turning off the washing product feeding function, it may not be possible to turn off the washing product feeding function. In this way, the process of turning off the washing product feeding function will be cumbersome, or even impossible. The present disclosure provides a method for feeding washing product, a device, an electronic equipment and a storage medium, so as to at least solve the problems of relatively cumbersome feeding process and low feeding efficiency in the related art.

[0025] The method for feeding washing product, the electronic equipment and the storage medium provided by the embodiments of the disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for feeding washing product according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the method for feeding washing product can be applied to a washing equipment, for example, a washing machine, a dishwasher, a sweeper, and other equipment with a washing product automatic feeding function. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for feeding washing product may include the following steps.

[0027] In step S 101, it is determined whether a washing equipment satisfies a preset condition for turning off a washing product feeding function.

[0028] Among them, the preset condition may include a number of times continuously detecting that a liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment is lower than a preset liquid level is greater than or equal to a first preset number of times.

[0029] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the washing equipment can automatically turn off the washing product feeding function. For example, it can determine whether the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment satisfies the preset condition for turning off the washing product feeding function, and the preset condition may include a number of times continuously detecting that a liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment is lower than a preset liquid level is greater than or equal to a first preset number of times, wherein, the preset liquid level and the first preset number of times can be set according to actual needs. The liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment can be, for example, the liquid level of the washing product in a device for feeding washing product in the washing equipment. The device for feeding washing product may include a washing product holding container and a control switch. The washing product in the washing product holding container can be controlled to be fed into a washing product feeding container through controlling the control switch. The capacity of the washing product holding container is greater than the capacity of the washing product feeding container. It can be understood that determining whether the washing equipment satisfies the preset condition for turning off washing product feeding function may be performed when the washing equipment is turned on, or may be performed when the washing equipment is powered on but not turned on.

[0030] In step S102, in response to determining that the washing equipment satisfies the preset condition, the washing equipment is controlled to turn off the washing product feeding function.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if the washing equipment satisfies the preset condition, that is, the number of times that it is continuously detected that the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment is lower than the preset liquid level is greater than or equal to the first preset number of times, it can be considered that the washing equipment is short of washing product at this time, that is, the washing equipment is short of washing liquid. At this time, it can be considered that the user does not need to feed the washing product, and the washing equipment can be controlled to turn off the washing product feeding function. In this way, the shortage of washing product can be automatically judged according to the liquid shortage information, and the washing product feeding function can be automatically turned off.

[0032] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, it is determined whether the washing equipment satisfies the preset condition for turning off the washing product feeding function; wherein, the preset condition includes the number of times continuously detecting that the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment is lower than the preset liquid level is greater than or equal to the first preset number of times; in response to determining that the washing equipment satisfies the preset condition, the washing equipment is controlled to turn off the washing product feeding function. In this way, according to the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment, it can automatically judge the liquid shortage of the washing product, realize the prediction of user behavior, and automatically turn off the washing product feeding function. So that, on one hand, it is possible to avoid the situation that the washing product feeding function cannot be turned off; on the other hand, there is no need to manually turn off the washing product feeding function, which can simplify the process of turn off the washing product feeding function and improve the user experience.

[0033] In a possible exemplary embodiment, the preset condition may further include that the washing equipment enters a washing procedure.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset condition may further include that the washing equipment enters a washing procedure in addition to that the number of times continuously detecting that the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment is lower than the preset liquid level is greater than or equal to the first preset number of times. Correspondingly, for determining whether the washing equipment satisfies the preset condition for turning off the washing product feeding function, it is not only needed to determine whether the number of times that the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment is lower than the preset liquid level is continuously detected to be greater than or equal to the first preset number of times, but also to detect whether the washing equipment enters the washing procedure. If the number of times that it is continuously detected that the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment is lower than the preset liquid level is greater than or equal to the first preset number of times, and it is detected that the current washing equipment enters the washing procedure, the washing equipment can be controlled to turn off the washing product feeding function.

[0035] In a possible embodiment, the preset condition may also include the number of times continuously detecting that the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment is lower than the preset liquid level is greater than or equal to a second preset number of times after starting up for a preset number of times, wherein detection is performed after starting up each time.

[0036] Correspondingly, in the above steps, in response to determining that the washing equipment satisfies the preset condition, the specific implementation of controlling the washing equipment to turn off the washing product feeding function may be as follows.

[0037] In response to that the number of times continuously detecting that the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment is lower than the preset liquid level is greater than or equal to the second preset number of times after starting up for a preset number of times, wherein detection is performed after starting up each time, the washing equipment is controlled to turn off the washing product feeding function.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, taking into account that the detection results of liquid level detection of washing product after starting up each time, usually can provide more accurate data basis for predicting user behavior, therefore, when determining whether the liquid level of the washing product of the washing equipment satisfies the preset condition for turning off the washing product feeding function, it may be determined whether the number of times is continuously detected that the liquid level of the washing product is lower than the preset liquid level to be greater than or equal to the second preset number of times after starting up for a preset number of times. The second preset number of times can be set according to actual needs, and can be the same as or different from the first preset number of times. If the number of times it is continuously detected that the liquid level of the washing product is lower than the preset liquid level is greater than or equal to the second preset number of times after starting up for a preset number of times, the washing equipment can be controlled to turn off the washing product feeding function. It should be noted that controlling the washing equipment to turn off the washing product feeding function may include at least one of the following: turning off the control switch of the device for feeding washing product, so as to control that the feeding product cannot be fed into washing product feeding container; turning off the feeding indicator light corresponding to the device for feeding washing product. The specific implementation of controlling the washing equipment to turn off the washing product feeding function is similar to the implementation principle of controlling the washing equipment to turn on the washing product feeding function, which will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0039] In a possible exemplary embodiment, the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include:

determining whether the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment satisfies the preset liquid level condition; wherein, the preset liquid level condition includes at least one of: the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment rising; or, the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment being higher than or equal to the preset liquid level;

controlling the washing equipment to turn on the washing product feeding function in response to determining that the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment satisfies the preset liquid level condition.



[0040] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, automatic feeding of washing product can also be realized. For example, it can be determined whether the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment satisfies a preset liquid level condition. For example, it can be determined whether the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment rises. For example, when or after the user adds the washing product to the washing equipment, it can be detected that the liquid level of the washing product rises, and the liquid level rising of the washing product means addition of the washing product; and/or, it can be determined whether the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment is higher than or equal to the preset liquid level, and the specific liquid level of the preset liquid level can be set according to actual needs. Among them, the washing product may be, for example, detergent, laundry liquid, and the like. In response to determining that the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment satisfies the preset liquid level condition, that is, the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment rises, the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment is higher than or equal to the preset liquid level, or the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment rises and the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment is higher than or equal to the preset liquid level, it can be judged that it is needed to feed the washing product into the washing product feeding container. At this time, the washing product feeding function can be automatically turned on, so that the washing product can be fed to the washing product feeding container. It can be understood that the embodiment can also be performed when the washing equipment is turned on or powered on but not turned on. In this way, the prediction of user behavior can be realized according to the liquid level rising of the washing product, and the washing product feeding function can be realized automatically, thus further improving the user experience.

[0041] In a possible embodiment, the specific implementation of the above step of controlling the washing equipment to turn on the washing product feeding function may include at least one of the following:

turning on the control switch of the device for feeding washing product to control the washing product to be fed into a washing product feeding container;

turning on the feeding indicator light corresponding to the device for feeding washing product.



[0042] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a network environment for implementing the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the network environment can include a control unit 204 of the main body of the washing equipment 200, a washing product feeding container 201, a control switch 202, and a feeding indicator light 203. The washing equipment 200 can be connected to a router 205 through wireless network, to access the internet206, and be connected to the APP 207 (Application) corresponding to the washing equipment 200. In conjunction with FIG. 2, in order to enable the washing product to be successfully fed into the washing product feeding container, controlling the washing equipment to turn on the washing product feeding function may include turning on the control switch 202 of the device for feeding washing product, so as to control the washing product to be fed into the washing product feeding container 201 (for example, a washing product feeding box), wherein the control switch 202 may be, for example, a feeding valve, and the feeding valve may be, for example, an electromagnetic valve. In order to facilitate the user to know the feeding situation of the washing product, controlling the washing equipment to turn on the washing product feeding function may further include turning on the feeding indicator light 203 corresponding to the device for feeding washing product. In this way, when the washing product feeding function is automatically turned on, turning on the feeding indicator light and operating of turning on the control switch can be automatically and synchronously performed, which can not only further ensure the feeding of washing product but also enable the user to know the feeding situation of the washing product in time, further improving user experience.

[0043] In a possible embodiment, the specific implementation of the above step of determining whether the washing equipment satisfies the preset condition for turning off the washing product feeding function may include:
determining whether the washing equipment satisfies the preset condition for turning off the washing product feeding function in response to determining that the washing equipment turns on a washing product automatic feeding detection function.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the user can choose whether to turn on the washing product automatic feeding detection function according to needs. For example, the washing product automatic feeding detection function can be turned on or off through the on-machine APP corresponding to the washing equipment. If the washing equipment turns on the washing product automatic feeding detection function, it can be determined whether the washing equipment satisfies the preset condition for turning off the washing product feeding function, and the subsequent processing of controlling the washing equipment to turn off the washing product feeding function can be performed according to the situation. It is to be understood that, it is also possible to determine whether the liquid level of the washing product in the washing equipment satisfies the preset liquid level condition, and perform the subsequent processing of controlling the washing equipment to turn on the washing product feeding function, in response to determining that the washing equipment turns on the washing product automatic feeding detection function. In this way, the user can choose whether to turn on the washing product automatic feeding detection function according to needs, thus further improving user experience.

[0045] In order to make the method for feeding washing product provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the method for feeding washing product provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with specific examples. Taking that the washing equipment is a washing machine, the washing product is detergent, the washing product feeding container is a detergent feeding box, the user turns on the washing product automatic feeding detection function, and the preset liquid level condition is the liquid level rising of the washing product in the washing equipment as an example, the method for feeding washing product provided by in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include the following processing.
  1. 1. The washing machine is turned on.
  2. 2. The control unit of the washing machine judges whether the shortage of detergent is continuously detected after starting up for a plurality of times (wherein the number of times for continuously monitoring can be adjusted), that is, judges whether the number of times is continuously detected that the liquid level of the washing product is lower than the preset liquid level to be greater than or equal to the second preset number of times after starting up for a preset number of times, wherein detection is performed after starting up each time.
  3. 3. If the number of times it is continuously detected that the liquid level of the washing product is lower than the preset liquid level is greater than or equal to the second preset number of times after starting up for a preset number of times, the control unit of the washing machine judges whether the washing machine enters the washing procedure (wherein this step is optional).
  4. 4. If the condition of the above step 2 is satisfied, or the conditions of step 2 and step 3 are satisfied, the control unit of the washing machine judges that the user does not need to automatically feed the detergent, then it can automatically turn off the detergent automatic feeding function, turn off the feeding indicator light and the feeding valve of the detergent feeding box.
  5. 5. If the control unit of the washing machine detects that the liquid level of the detergent rises, it can judge that the detergent feeding box needs to be fed with detergent, and then automatically turn on the automatic feeding function, and at the same time turn on the feeding indicator light and the feeding valve of the detergent feeding box to control the detergent to be fed into the detergent dispenser box.
