Abstract: An Internet of Things washing machine control method comprises the steps of, when a power module of the washing machine detects a startup signal, starting up the washing machine, and enabling a communication module to start to connect with the Internet; judging whether the communication module is successfully connected with the Internet, if yes, activating a remote control function and entering the next step, and if no, directly entering the next step; judging whether the washing machine receives an operating command of running a clothes washing program, if yes, executing the operating command and entering the next step, and if no, directly entering the next step; judging whether to shut down the washing machine, if yes, entering the next step, and if no, returning to the step; sending a shutdown signal to the power module, shutting down the washing machine, and powering off the communication module.

Abstract: Disclosed is a control method, control apparatus and control system for a washing machine. The method includes: receiving device information and failure information of the washing machine sent by the washing machine; querying an installation information database for a first number of washing machines having same device information in a preset area; querying an alarm history record database for a second number of washing machines having same failure information within a first preset time duration in the preset area if the first number is greater than a first preset threshold; and determining a failure cause based on the first number and the second number.

Abstract: A clothes dryer includes a clothes drying drum, where a humidity sensor for detecting a humidity value of clothes is arranged at a clothes throwing port of the clothes drying drum; a detection apparatus is further arranged in the clothes drying drum; and the detection apparatus is arranged inside the clothes throwing port. The detection apparatus is connected with a controller. The detection apparatus is configured to detect an impedance value of a surrounding environment of the detection apparatus at every interval of a preset time period and transmit the impedance value to the controller. The controller respectively compares each impedance value with a preset impedance threshold, and judges the amount of clothes in the clothes drying drum according to the number of the impedance values exceeding the preset impedance threshold, thereby adjusting a rotating speed of the clothes drying drum according to the amount of clothes.

Abstract: A cradle drive mechanism is provided. The cradle drive mechanism includes a drive motor, an intermediate frame and a screw and nut transmission device driven by the drive motor so as to drive linear reciprocating motion of the intermediate frame. The cradle drive mechanism also includes a rotating, shaft having a first driving wheel and a gear, a transmission belt, and a rack meshed with the gear so that, during linear reciprocating motion of the intermediate frame, the rack forces the gear to rotate and drive rotation of the first driving wheel, wherein rotation of the first driving wheel drives rotation of the transmission belt. The cradle drive mechanism also includes a cradle connector fixed on the transmission belt and configured to connect a cradle and to drive linear reciprocating motion of the cradle.
