DRIVE CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS, HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

The present application provides a drive control method and apparatus, a household appliance, and a computer-readable storage medium. The drive control method comprises: detecting a power supply signal, and controlling, according to the power supply signal, a bridge circuit to operate in a first mode or a second mode; if the bridge circuit operates in the second mode, determining that an alternating current signal in the power supply signal belongs to a positive half-cycle waveform or a negative half-cycle waveform; and determining a turn-on time period of a switching device of the bridge circuit according to a dependent relationship between the alternating current signal and the positive half-cycle waveform and a dependent relationship between the alternating current signal and the negative half-cycle waveform. The first mode is configured to control the switching device to be turned off, and the second mode is configured to control the switching device to operate according to a designated pulse driving sign
