detailed description

Below in conjunction with specific embodiment and accompanying drawing, the utility model is described in detail. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, rather than limit the utility model. In addition, for the convenience of description, only the part related to the present utility model is shown in the drawings but not the whole content.

As shown in Figure 1, an outline structure diagram of a double-drum washing machine is given. The washing machine is equipped with an upper drum 2 and a lower drum 3 in the body, forming a combination of two independent washing drums of different sizes, and has a control panel 3 at the same time. , in actual production, the capacity of the upper drum is usually designed to be small, generally 2-3 kg; the capacity of the lower drum is designed to be large, generally 6-8 kg, which is also conducive to reducing the center of gravity of the entire washing machine . In specific work, the two independent washing drums can operate separately or simultaneously. For the user, it is like having two drum washing machines with different capacities at the same time. When facing various washing situations in the family, there are more choices, such as , the upper drum can be used for fine washing of single or small batches of clothes, and the lower drum can be used for cleaning of large clothes, such as bed sheets and quilts. More importantly, two batches of washing can be carried out at the same time, reducing the waiting time , From the actual use effect, it is more time-saving and energy-saving.

Because the above-mentioned drum washing machine involves the control of the upper and lower independent washing drums, it is objectively necessary to set two sets of input control units and output display units corresponding to each drum on the control panel 3 to cooperate with the user to complete the control of each washing drum. The input setting and status display of the double-drum washing machine are shown in Figure 2. The user selects and sets various laundry parameters and programs through the control panel, and the IC controller communicates with the control panel. The input parameters of the control panel are put into the selected program, and the instruction is sent to the drive circuit. The drive circuit drives the operation of the corresponding upper or lower roller according to the instruction, and the corresponding IC controller transmits the working state parameters of the corresponding roller to the The control panel displays in real time to facilitate the user to control the laundry process.

For the control process of the above-mentioned double-drum washing machine, the control panel of the present invention can be composed of structures as shown in Figures 3 to 5, and the control panel is divided into input control unit 4, output display unit 5, 6, and switching unit 7 according to the area. , wherein the input control unit 4 is specifically composed of 6 buttons of "temperature", "speed", "washing", "rinsing", "scheduling" and "cleaning" as the input control elements 9, and all the input control elements in the input control unit 4 are used as the upper drum and the common part of the lower drum; the corresponding output display unit 5 is also composed of a plurality of output display elements 10, which respectively correspond to the upper drum input control elements "temperature", "speed", "washing", "rinsing", "reservation", "cleaning" input Display of the selected parameters; at the same time, the output display unit 6 is also composed of multiple output display elements, corresponding to the lower drum input control elements "temperature", "speed", "washing", "rinsing", "reservation", "cleaning" selected when inputting display of parameters. When working, select the corresponding upper drum or the lower drum through the selection of the switching unit 7, as shown in Figure 3, the upper drum is selected at this time, and the shared input control elements uniquely correspond to the running program of the upper drum , the IC controller transmits the above-mentioned input parameters to its corresponding fortune program. At this time, the common control element 9 is only used as the input of the upper roller control program, and the corresponding output display units are independent. For example, the "speed" of the upper roller is 900rpm, 1000rpm for the lower drum; "washing" for 30 minutes on the upper drum and 20 minutes on the lower drum; it can make the real-time status of the washing machine more clear at a glance.

As another option for the composition of the control panel structure, as shown in Figure 6, the control panel is divided into an input control unit 4 and an output display unit 5 by area; in this example, the corresponding output display unit 5 consists of multiple output display units The element 10 is composed of 10 elements, and is used as a common output display element; the input control unit 4 has two groups, corresponding to the upper drum and the lower drum respectively, and each group consists of "temperature", "speed", "washing", "rinsing", "reservation" and "cleaning". "6 buttons are formed as input control elements 9, and each corresponds to an input control element as the control program of the upper and lower drums. When working, select the corresponding upper drum or the lower drum by selecting the switching unit 7, as shown in Figure 6, the upper drum is selected at this time, and the shared output display elements uniquely correspond to the operating program of the upper drum , the IC controller outputs the status parameters of the real-time operation of the upper drum through the above display elements. As shown in the figure, the "temperature" of the upper drum is 60°C, the "speed" is 800rpm, the "washing" time is 30 minutes, and the "rinsing" time is 30 minutes. "The number of times is 3 times, etc.; at this time, the input of the upper and lower drums is respectively input through independent control elements.

As the third option of the structure of the control panel, as shown in Figure 7, the control panel is divided into an input control unit 4 and an output display unit 5 by area; in this example, the corresponding output display unit 5 is composed of multiple output display units. The element 10 is composed of elements 10 and used as a common output display element; the input control unit 4 is composed of 6 buttons of "temperature", "speed", "washing", "rinsing", "scheduling" and "cleaning" as input control elements 9, which are also used as a shared output Display elements. When working, select the corresponding upper drum or lower drum through the selection of the switching unit 7, as shown in Figure 7, the upper drum is selected at this time, and the shared output display elements and shared input control elements are unique Corresponding to the operation program of the upper drum, the IC controller outputs the status parameters of the real-time operation of the upper drum through the above display elements. The time is 30 minutes, the number of "rinsing" is 2 times, etc. The advantage of this solution is that only one set of shared input control elements and output display elements can satisfy the necessary input and output functions for the separate control of the upper and lower rollers.

Another obvious advantage of the utility model is that for two or more independent washing drums, no major changes are required to their respective control systems, which is equivalent to only needing to maintain a set of independent systems during maintenance. This has practical significance for software upgrades in the later stages of products, especially the increasing demands of customers driven by the current Internet.

For the whole control panel, since there is only one set of control system, a power switch 8 can be separately set as the overall power control. The corresponding switching unit 7 can also be set in various external forms. In addition to the commonly used double buttons, a single button can also be used for switching, and further, a knob can be used instead for selection and switching.

Figure 8 shows the fourth possible choice of the structure of the control panel. As shown in the figure, the knob can be used as a selection switch, the direction of rotation can be used as an input control element, and the program items on both sides can be used as an output display element; the corresponding input control Elements and output display elements are used as common, respectively press the selection switch to point to the specific washing drum, as shown in the figure, at this time it is used as the output of the lower drum.

In actual use, another situation is used, as shown in Figure 9, the corresponding input control elements and output display elements are set on the same key position, which is used not only for input, but also for output status, as shown in the figure At this time, the "chemical fiber" washing program is selected, and the corresponding "chemical fiber" button lights up when it is selected, as the status output.

Fig. 10 correspondingly provides a schematic flow chart of the control method applied to the above-mentioned washing machine. When the washing machine is operated specifically, the following two steps are included: S110, the washing machine obtains the selection instruction of the corresponding washing drum; S120 calls the background of the washing drum Control the program, and make the common control elements and/or display elements uniquely correspond to the operation program of the washing drum, and serve as its input and output elements.

Of course, as a preferred option for program execution, when calling the background control program of the washing drum according to the structural settings on the control panel, only the input control element is used as an input element; the background control program of the washing drum can also be called When controlling a program, only the output control element is used as an output element.

The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model may have various modifications and changes in specific implementation. All modifications, equivalent replacements, obvious variations, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
