Abstract

The present disclosure provides a clothing washing control method, a washing machine and a control system. The method comprises: S1, a clothing material identification device scanning and identifying clothing fabric components, and obtaining identification data; S2, analyzing the identification data, and obtaining clothing component information corresponding to the identification data; S3, recommending washing parameters according to the clothing component information; and S4, the washing machine executing washing according to the washing parameters recommended. According to the clothing washing control method, the washing machine and the control system, clothing materials can be automatically identified. The corresponding washing parameters are recommended according to the clothing materials. Thus the clothing washing efficiency is improved, and the situation that clothing fails to be washed clean or excessive washing causes clothing abrasion is effectively avoided.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
