Problems solved by technology

However, the function of its encoder is relatively single, and it can only select common washing programs, which cannot meet more functional requirements.
[0005] In view of the above problems, it is urgent to propose a new control method based on washing / drying and using a rotary encoder to solve the problems of single function and poor operation convenience in existing washing / drying machine encoders

Embodiment 1

[0027] This embodiment provides a control panel of a clothes dryer, such as figure 1 As shown, a display screen 1 is provided on one side of the control panel, and a row of six mechanical parameter selection buttons 2 are provided below the display screen 1. Each parameter selection button 2 corresponds to a working parameter, which are appointment, anti-wrinkle, and timing. , Background, Volume and Brightness. In this embodiment, the display screen 1 adopts a TFT color liquid crystal screen, which is cheap and has good display effect.

[0028] A rotary encoder 3 is arranged in the middle of the control panel, and a plurality of indicator lights 4 are arranged on the periphery of the rotary encoder 3 for indicating different drying modes. In this embodiment, there are fourteen indicator lights 4, which are respectively used to indicate the strong drying mode, standard drying mode and ironing drying mode of chemical fiber clothes, and the strong drying mode and standard drying...

Embodiment 2

[0037] This embodiment provides a control panel of a clothes dryer and a control method based on a rotary encoder for the clothes dryer. The structure of the control panel of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, with a display screen on one side, a row of parameter selection buttons below the display screen, a rotary encoder in the middle, and multiple indicators on the outer circumference of the rotary encoder. The light is used to indicate different drying modes, and the other side is provided with a start / pause button and a power switch button.

[0038] The difference is that the control panel of this embodiment is also provided with a confirmation button used as a confirmation function. After the working parameters are adjusted, press the confirmation button, and the program controller will save the adjusted value after receiving the confirmation signal sent by the confirmation button. The working parameter value, the display screen exits the work...

Embodiment 3

[0040] This embodiment provides a control panel of a clothes dryer and a control method based on a rotary encoder for the clothes dryer. Such as image 3As shown, one side of the control panel is a display screen 1, and the other side is a rotary encoder 3, eliminating the need for mechanical buttons. The display screen 1 is a touch screen, and the mode selection keys corresponding to multiple drying modes and the parameter selection keys corresponding to each working parameter are all virtual keys set on the display screen. The user can select the working parameters and the drying mode by pressing the virtual buttons on the touch screen. In order to meet the habits of some old customers, the user can also rotate the rotary encoder 3 between each mode selection button and each parameter selection button. Switch among them, quickly change options, and select the drying mode and working parameters by pressing the confirmation button. According to the more conventional usage, tu...

Abstract

The invention discloses a control method for a knob type encoder based on a washing / drying machine and relates to the technical field of laundry equipment. The control method for the knob type encoder based on the washing / drying machine is characterized in that the knob type encoder at least is used for selecting different washing / drying modes; when being selected, a certain working parameter can be adjusted by the knob type encoder within a specific range. According to the control method disclosed by the invention, the knob type encoder has a two-stage adjustment function, can operate and control multiple functions and is convenient and fast in operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laundry equipment, in particular to a control method based on a rotary encoder for a washing / drying machine. Background technique [0002] The control panels of the existing washing machines and clothes dryers mostly adopt the button type, and the user selects the working mode and adjusts the working parameters by pressing the buttons. However, with the advancement of technology, the functions of the washing / drying machine are becoming more and more abundant, and there will be more and more selection buttons, which will cause the control panel to take up a lot of space and affect the aesthetics of the washing / drying machine. It brings great inconvenience to user operation. [0003] In view of the above problems, the Chinese patent application No. 201320572276.8 discloses a washing machine control panel, including a top case and a panel, a computer board is arranged below the panel, and a plurality of fun...
