Description

多滚筒洗衣机及其控制方法 技术领域
本公开涉及洗衣机设计制造技术领域，例如涉及多滚筒洗衣机及其控制方法。
背景技术
普通的滚筒洗衣机均为单个滚筒的洗衣机，为了满足家庭所有衣物的洗涤要求，通常家庭中会选择容量偏大的洗衣机，如6公斤以上的大型洗衣机。随着时代的进步及人们生活水平的提高，生活节奏也越来越快，上述洗衣机在使用中存在多方面问题，例如，衣物可能分为成人衣物、内衣和儿童衣物，为了分开洗涤，需要先后使用多次洗衣机，需要花费很多的洗涤时间且消耗很多的能量；而且考虑到节约能量，大型洗衣机中设置的洗涤过程一般消耗大量的水，耗电量也大，当洗涤少量衣物时，大型洗衣机不是很好的选择，同时由于洗涤过程预期的衣物量较大，所以洗涤时间相对较长；此外，大型洗衣机设置的洗涤过程，预期的主要是一般衣物，可能不适合洗涤诸如内衣或幼儿衣物等精细的衣物。
为了解决以上问题，相关技术开发了双滚筒洗衣机，这种洗衣机具有单独或同时被驱动的大容量洗涤滚筒和小容量洗涤滚筒，在各个筒中执行独立洗涤操作。就如同使用户同时具有两台容量不同的滚筒洗衣机，同时不额外占据物理空间，可以灵活的根据洗涤量、洗涤衣物类型同时或分别进行洗涤。
然而，相关技术中，针对上述双滚筒洗衣机，通常为各个洗涤筒配置独立对应的输入控制单元和输出显示单元，控制系统只是简单的在硬件上进行叠加，实质上仍为两套单独的控制系统，间接导致其制造成本较高，阻碍了在市 场的推广和应用，同时也不利于后期对控制系统的升级和维护。
发明内容
本公开提供一种多滚筒洗衣机及其控制方法，以解决多滚筒洗衣机的各个洗涤筒的控制问题，以降低多滚筒洗衣机的制造成本。

可选的，所述多个洗涤滚筒共用部分或全部所述输入控制元素和所述输出显示元素，工作时通过对其中一个洗涤滚筒的选定，使共用的输入控制元素和/或输出显示元素唯一对应于所述其中一个洗涤滚筒的运行程序，并作为所述其中一个洗涤滚筒的输入元素或输出元素。
可选的，所述控制面板上设置选择开关，用于对其中一个洗涤滚筒的指定。

本公开实施例还提供一种多滚筒洗衣机的控制方法，采用本公开任一实施例提供的多滚筒洗衣机，所述方法包括：
洗衣机获取相应洗涤滚筒的选取指令，调取该洗涤滚筒的后台控制程序，并使共用的输入控制元素和/或输出显示元素唯一对应于其中一个洗涤滚筒的运行程序，并作为所述其中一个洗涤滚筒的输入输出元素。
可选的，调取所述洗涤滚筒的后台控制程序时，仅将所述输入控制元素作为输入元素。
可选的，调取所述洗涤滚筒的后台控制程序时，仅将所述输出控制元素作为输出元素。
本公开实施例提供的多滚筒洗衣机及其控制方法，在控制面板上设置输入控制元素和输出显示元素，在使用时，采用多个洗涤滚筒共用全部或部分输入控制元素和输出显示元素，通过选定特定的洗涤筒，从而调用对应的洗涤程序，并将上述输入控制元素和/或输出显示元素与该洗涤程序相关联，作为其中一个洗涤滚筒相应的输入和输出，从而达到了一套控制系统上整合多个洗涤滚筒的操作和控制，代替了以往简单硬件的叠加，减少了多洗涤滚筒洗衣机控制面板输入控制单元数量和输出显示单元，从而简化了控制面板的硬件结构，降低了洗衣机的硬件成本，同时有利于后期对控制系统的升级和维护。

具体实施方式
下面结合可选实施例及附图，对本公开作详细的描述。可以理解的是，此处所描述的可选实施例仅用于解释本公开，而非对本公开的限定。另外，为了便于描述，附图中仅示出了与本公开相关的部分而非全部内容。在不冲突的情况下，实施例和实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。
如图1所示，给出了一种双滚筒洗衣机的外形结构图，该洗衣机在机体内安装有上滚筒1和下滚筒2，形成了大小两个独立洗涤滚筒的搭配，同时具有控制面板3，在实际生产中，通常将上滚筒1的容量设计的偏小，一般为2-3公斤；下滚筒2的容量设计的偏大，一般为6-8公斤，这样也有利于降低整个洗衣机的重心位置。在工作时，两个独立洗涤滚筒可分别或同时运转，对于使用者来说，就如同同时具有两台容量不同的滚筒洗衣机，在面临家庭各种洗涤情况时，有更多的选择，比如，可以利用上滚筒进行单件或小批量衣物的精洗，利 用下滚筒进行大件衣物的清洗，如床单被罩的清洗，更为重要的是可同时进行两个批次的洗涤，减少了等待的时间，从实际使用效果上来说，更加的省时节能。
上述滚筒洗衣机因为涉及到上下两个独立洗涤滚筒的控制，客观上需要在控制面板3上设置两套分别对应每个滚筒的输入控制单元和输出显示单元，用来配合用户完成对每个洗涤滚筒的输入设定和状态显示，该双滚筒洗衣机的控制系统结构组成如图2所示，用户通过控制面板进行各种洗衣参数和程序的选定设入，IC控制器与控制面板通讯连接，接受控制面板的输入参数，并置入选定程序，发送指令到驱动电路，由驱动电路依照指令驱动对应的上滚筒或下滚筒运转作业，相应的IC控制器实时将对应滚筒的工作状态参数传送至控制面板进行实时显示，以方便用户对洗衣过程的掌控。
针对上述双滚筒洗衣机的控制过程，本公开实施例提供的控制面板可采用如图3至5所示的结构组成，在控制面板上按区域分为输入控制单元4，输出显示单元5、6，切换单元7，其中输入控制单元4由“温度”“转速”“洗涤”“漂洗”“预约”“清洗”6个按键作为输入控制元素9构成，该输入控制单元4中的全部输入控制元素作为上滚筒和下滚筒的共用部分；相应的输出显示单元5亦由多个输出显示元素10组成，分别对应上滚筒输入控制元素“温度”“转速”“洗涤”“漂洗”“预约”“清洗“输入时所选参数的显示；同时，输出显示单元6也由多个输出显示元素组成，分别对应下滚筒输入控制元素“温度”“转速”“洗涤”“漂洗”“预约”“清洗“输入时所选参数的显示。在工作时，通过切换单元7的选择，选定对应的上滚筒或下滚筒，如图3中所示，此时选定的是上滚筒，共用的输入控制元素唯一对应于上滚筒的运行程序，IC控制器将上述所输入的参数传递给对应的运程程序，此时，共用的控 制元素9仅作为上滚筒控制程序的输入，相应的上滚筒和下滚筒的输出显示单元各自独立，如“转速”上滚筒为900rpm，下滚筒为1000rpm；“洗涤”上滚筒为30分钟，下滚筒为20分钟；可使洗衣机运行的实时状态更加一目了然。
作为控制面板结构组成的另一种选择如图6所示，在此控制面板上按区域分为输入控制单元4、输出显示单元5；此例中，相应的输出显示单元5由多个输出显示元素10组成，并作为共用的输出显示元素；输入控制单元4有两组，分别对应上滚筒和下滚筒，每组均由“温度”“转速”“洗涤”“漂洗”“预约”“清洗”6个按键作为输入控制元素9构成，各自对应作为上下滚筒控制程序的输入控制元素。在工作时，通过切换单元7的选择，选定对应的上滚筒或下滚筒，如图6中所示，此时选定的是上滚筒，共用的输出显示元素唯一对应于上滚筒的运行程序，IC控制器将上滚筒实时运行的状态参数通过上述显示元素进行输出，如图中显示的为上滚筒“温度”为60℃，“转速”为800rpm，“洗涤”时间为30分钟，“漂洗”次数为3次等；此时，上、下滚筒的输入则分别通过各自独立的控制元素进行输入。
作为控制面板结构组成的第三种选择如图7所示，在此控制面板上按区域分为输入控制单元4、输出显示单元5；此例中，相应的输出显示单元5由多个输出显示元素10组成，并作为共用的输出显示元素；输入控制单元4由“温度”“转速”“洗涤”“漂洗”“预约”“清洗”6个按键作为输入控制元素9构成，同样作为共用的输出显示元素。在工作时，通过切换单元7的选择，选定对应的上滚筒或下滚筒，如图7中所示，此时选定的是上滚筒，共用的输出显示元素和共用的输入控制元素均唯一对应于上滚筒的运行程序，IC控制器将上滚筒实时运行的状态参数通过上述显示元素进行输出，如图中显示的为上滚筒“温度”为60℃，“转速”为800rpm，“洗涤”时间为30分钟，“漂洗”次 数为2次等。该方案的好处在于只用一组共用的输入控制元素和输出显示元素即可满足上下滚筒分别控制所必需的输入和输出功能。
本公开实施例另一个好处在于，针对两个或两个以上的独立洗涤滚筒，对他们各自的控制系统均不需要作大的改动，相当于在维护时只需要维护一套独立的系统，这对于产品后期的软件升级，例如当下互联网所驱动产生的客户日益提高的需求有现实意义。
对于整个控制面板来说，由于只有一套控制系统，也就可以单独设置一个电源开关8作为总的电源控制。相应的切换单元7亦可设置成各种各样的外在形式，除常用的双按键外，也可采用单个按键切换，可选的，亦可用旋钮来代替进行选择和切换。
图8给出了控制面板结构组成的第四种可能的选择，如图所示，可以采用旋钮作为选择切换开关，旋转方向作为输入控制元素，两侧程序项作为输出显示元素；相应的输入控制元素和输出显示元素均作为共用，分别按选择开关指向一个的洗涤滚筒，如图中所示，此时是作为下滚筒的输出输出使用。
在实际使用中还用一种情况，如图9所示，将相应的输入控制元素和输出显示元素设置在同一个键位上，既作为输入用，同时亦作为输出状态用，所图中所示，此时选中“化纤”洗衣程序，同时在选中时相应的“化纤”按键亮起，作为状态的输出。
图10相应给出了应用于上述洗衣机的控制方法的流程示意图，在对洗衣机进行操作时，包括如下：在S110中，洗衣机获取相应洗涤滚筒的选取指令；在S120中，调取该洗涤滚筒的后台控制程序，并使共用的输入控制元素和/或输出显示元素唯一对应于所述其中一个洗涤滚筒的运行程序，并作为所述其中一个洗涤滚筒的输入元素或输出元素。
当然，作为程序执行的可选方式，可根据控制面板上的结构设置调取所述洗涤滚筒的后台控制程序时，仅将所述输入控制元素作为输入元素；亦可调取所述洗涤滚筒的后台控制程序时，仅将所述输出控制元素作为输出元素。
以上所述仅为本公开的可选实施例，并不用于限制本公开，对于本领域技术人员而言，本公开在可选实施方式上可以有各种改动和变化。
工业实用性
本公开实施例提供一种多滚筒洗衣机及其控制方法，达到了一套控制系统上整合多个洗涤滚筒的操作和控制，代替了以往简单硬件的叠加，减少了多洗涤滚筒洗衣机控制面板输入控制单元数量和输出显示单元，从而简化了控制面板的硬件结构，降低了洗衣机的硬件成本，同时有利于后期对控制系统的升级和维护。
