摘要： A washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes a drum, a detergent supply unit for supplying detergent to the drum, a turbidity sensor for detecting the turbidity of water inside the drum, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the drum, the detergent supply unit, the turbidity sensor, and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the washing machine to control the detergent supply unit to supply the detergent to the drum in case that a washing cycle starts, detect the water turbidity by using the turbidity sensor in case that a predetermined time period elapses after the washing cycle starts, obtain result information by comparing the detected water turbidity with a critical value, and store the obtained result information in the memory.

摘要： The method is implemented at a washing mode sharing platform. A to-be-shared washing parameter of at least one first laundry equipment, and a to-be-shared washing mode corresponding to the to-be-shared washing parameter, are acquired. A historical data set is generated based on the to-be-shared washing parameter and the to-be-shared washing mode. A target washing mode and a target washing parameter corresponding to the target washing mode are determined from the historical data set. The target washing mode and the target washing parameter are sent to second laundry equipment.

摘要： A method of operating a washing machine appliance. The washing machine appliance is configured for communication with an external device. The method includes monitoring, from the external device, a new wash cycle activation. The method also includes measuring a load weight of the washing machine appliance and identifying a time of day of the new wash cycle activation. The method further includes comparing a cycle history of the washing machine appliance to the new wash cycle activation and suggesting an operation mode of the washing machine appliance in response to the load weight, the time of day, and the cycle history.

摘要： Disclosed are a control method for a squeezing washing machine and the squeezing washing machine. The method includes: controlling a washing and spinning tub (6) to perform a water absorption wash; controlling the washing and spinning tub (6) to perform a squeezing wash, where the squeezing wash means that the washing and spinning tub (6) rotates at a second rotation speed for a second time period; and repeatedly and alternately controlling the washing and spinning tub (6) to perform the water absorption wash and the squeezing wash based on the preset number of cycles to complete the wash or the rinse. The method is conducive to reduction of wear of the clothes during the wash or the rinse and improves washing efficiency.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a laundry treatment machine. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a laundry treatment machine includes a controller controlling a motor, during dewatering, to be driven at a first speed when a lift is at a first level and to drive the motor at a second speed greater than the first speed when the lift is at a second level greater than the first level, wherein the lift is a difference between a water level of a water introduction part through which water flows into a drain pump and a water level of a water discharge part through which the water is discharged out of the drain pump. Accordingly, noise or vibration can be reduced even if the lift is changed during the dewatering.

摘要： Disclosed herein is a chemical dosing system for an appliance, such as a laundry washing machine or a dishwashing machine, having a water inlet, the system comprising a meter for determining the volume of water supplied to the appliance, a pump for dispensing a quantity of a chemical to the appliance and a control unit arranged to receive a signal from the meter and to cause to be dispensed to the appliance a volume of chemical that is proportional to the quantity of water supplied to the appliance. The disclosed system may enable a correct quantity of chemical to be automatically dispensed to many types of appliance, without the need to know anything about the appliance, or to derive electrical signal from the appliance.
