Washing machine and method for detecting safety thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a washing machine and a method for detecting the safety thereof. The method for detecting the safety includes allowing a controller to be in an off state when the washing machine is in shutdown and / or standby states and detecting the washing machine by the aid of a detection module to determine whether living creatures are available in the washing machine or not; transmitting signals by the aid of the detection module to wake up the controller when the living creatures available in the washing machine are detected and carrying out safety operation under the control of the controller. The safety operation includes at least one type of operation including sending an alarm; forbidding the washing machine from running; unlocking a door of the washing machine. The washing machine and the method have the advantages that the inside of the washing machine is detected by the aid of the detection module, and whether the living creatures are available in the washing machine or not can be judged; the detection module is provided with a power supply portion, and only the detection module works when the washing machine is in the shutdown and standby states; the signals can be transmitted by the aid of the detection module to wake up the controller if the living creatures are found in the washing machine, the alarm can be sent, the washing machine stops all actions, accordingly, injury to children or small animals which accidently enter the washing machine can be prevented, and effects of reducing energy consumption of the washing machine can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to washing machines, in particular to a washing machine safety detection method and a washing machine.
