[0063] The following is a description of the implementation of the present invention by specific embodiments. People familiar with the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0067] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0068] like Figure 1As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a drying control method for a clothing processing device, wherein the clothing processing device may include but is not limited to a washing machine, and the washing machine may include but is not limited to a washing and care machine, a washing and drying machine, etc. For example, the washing machine may be a drum washing machine or a pulsator washing machine with drying or washing and care functions, and of course, the washing machine may also be other types of fully automatic washing machines. In this example and the following examples, the clothing processing device is described by taking a washing and drying machine as an example.

[0069] The clothes treating device comprises a clothes treating drum, and the clothes treating device can run a drying program to dry the clothes in the clothes treating drum.

[0070] In some embodiments, the laundry processing device may include one or two laundry processing drums. Taking one laundry processing drum as an example, a drying module is arranged in the laundry processing drum, and the drying module includes a drying air duct, a drying fan and a drying element.

[0071] The air outlet and air inlet of the drying duct are both connected to the interior of the laundry processing drum, and the drying fan and the drying element are both arranged in the drying duct. The drying element is configured to dehumidify and heat the hot and humid air drawn out from the laundry processing drum to form a drying airflow to achieve drying of the laundry.

[0072] The drying element can be directly fixed in the drying air duct, or fixed in the drying air duct by other fasteners such as screws, etc. The drying element can be arranged at a position close to the air outlet of the drying air duct.

[0073] The drying element may include but is not limited to an electric heating wire or a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient, positive temperature coefficient thermistor) heater or other elements capable of heating air.

[0074] Along the flow direction of the drying airflow, the drying fan can be arranged upstream of the drying element. Through the rotation of the drying fan, on the one hand, the hot and humid gas drawn out from the clothes processing drum can be guided to the drying element to form a drying airflow, and on the other hand, the drying airflow can be driven into the clothes processing drum to provide a suitable drying airflow for the clothes processing drum to meet the demand for drying airflow when the clothes processing drum is drying. Alternatively, in the process of air-drying the clothes, or cooling the clothes processing drum or the clothes at the end of the drying process, a suitable air volume is provided to meet the demand for air-drying the clothes and the demand for cooling the clothes processing drum.

[0075] The drying fan may be a fan in the prior art, such as an induced draft fan or an axial flow fan.

[0076] Continue to refer to Figure 1As shown, the drying control method of the clothes processing equipment includes the following steps:

[0077] Step S100: Before the clothes processing device runs a drying program, a first movement state of the clothes and the clothes processing drum is detected.

[0078] Step S200: When the first movement state is the wall-adhering state, the clothes processing drum is controlled to run a shaking program.

[0079] Step S300: After the shaking-out process, detecting a second movement state of the clothes in the clothes processing tub.

[0080] Step S400: when the second motion state is the wall-attached state, determining drying parameters of the drying compensation program after the drying program is finished, the drying parameters including the drying time.

[0081] In step S100, after the laundry processing device controls the laundry processing drum to run the dehydration program, the laundry processing device starts to run the drying program. During the running of the drying program, the first movement state of the laundry in the laundry processing drum is detected.

[0082] The first motion state may include an adherent state or a non-adherent state.

[0083] In some embodiments, whether the clothes are in a wall-adhering state can be determined by the rotation of a motor that drives the clothes processing drum to rotate.

[0084] When the motor drives the laundry treatment drum to rotate, the power change pattern of the motor when the laundry is attached to the wall and when it is not attached to the wall is different. Figure 2 As shown, when the clothes are not attached to the wall, the clothes processing drum is rotating, and the clothes inside the clothes processing drum are flipping or rolling, the motor will be affected by the irregular dynamic changes of the clothes in the clothes processing drum during the operation cycle, resulting in large fluctuations in the motor power during operation.

[0085] And refer to Figure 3 As shown, when the clothes are attached to the wall, since the clothes and the inner wall of the clothes processing drum are relatively still, the fluctuation of the motor power during operation is smaller and is closer to a stable state. The clothes processing device can automatically identify the movement state of the clothes through the fluctuation change mechanism of the motor power during operation.

[0086] Among them, when it is detected that the first movement state of the clothes in the clothing processing drum is a non-wall-adhering state, it means that the clothes are not tightly attached to the inner wall of the clothing processing drum. At this time, the clothing processing equipment can be controlled to continue to execute the normal drying program. An automatic dry judgment program is provided in the normal drying program. When the clothes reach the dry judgment condition, the control system will control the clothing processing equipment to automatically stop running the drying program. That is to say, when the drying program is finished, the clothes in the clothing processing drum have been dried and there will be no situation of not being completely dry.

[0087] That is to say, in step S100, the wall-adhering state of the clothes can be identified by coordinating the change in motor power with the above-mentioned fluctuation change mechanism, and then the subsequent drying program for the clothes can be adjusted according to the identification result.

[0088] Specifically, whether the clothes are sticking to the wall can be determined by the difference in motor power, wherein the power fluctuation state of the motor during the weighing process of the clothes can be monitored in real time to distinguish whether the clothes are sticking to the wall; or, the average value of the motor power during the weighing process can be used to distinguish whether the clothes are sticking to the wall.

[0089] In step S200, when it is detected that the first movement state of the clothes in the clothing processing drum is a wall-adhering state, the control system of the clothing processing device controls the clothing processing drum to run a shaking program so that the clothes fall off from the inner wall of the clothing processing drum to facilitate subsequent drying of the clothes.

[0090] Among them, the shaking program can adopt the following methods:

[0091] The laundry treatment drum is controlled to rotate forward and reverse at a high frequency, and the inertia is used to make the laundry fall off the inner wall of the laundry treatment drum. In one example, the laundry treatment drum can be controlled to rotate forward at 60 rpm for 4 seconds, and then the laundry treatment drum is controlled to rotate reversely at 40 rpm for 3 seconds, and the operation is repeated and continuous.

[0092] It should be noted that the control system of the washer-dryer can adopt the control system in the prior art, as long as the control system can control various startup functions of the washer-dryer, and the specific structure type and specific control logic of the control system will not be repeated here.

[0093] In step S300, after the clothes processing drum runs the shaking program, the clothes may still be stuck to the wall. Therefore, in order to avoid the situation where the clothes stick to the wall in the future, in this step, the second movement state of the clothes and the clothes processing drum can be detected again using the detection method in step S100.

[0094] In step S400, a drying parameter of a drying compensation program for subsequent laundry after the laundry is normally dried is determined according to the second motion state, and the drying parameter includes a drying time.

[0095] For example, when the second motion state is a non-wall-adhering state, the clothing processing equipment can be controlled to continue running the normal drying program. An automatic dryness judgment program is provided in the normal drying program. When the clothing reaches the dryness judgment condition, the control system will control the clothing processing equipment to automatically stop running the drying program. That is to say, when the drying program is finished, the clothing in the clothing processing drum has been dried and there will be no situation where the clothing is not completely dry.

[0096] When the second motion state is still the wall-adhering state, the drying time of the drying compensation program for the clothes after the drying program is completed can be determined based on information such as the weight of the clothes to extend the drying time of the clothes, thereby ensuring that the clothes are fully dried.

[0097] In this example, after the clothes in the clothes processing drum have completed dehydration, the wall-adhering state is continuously detected, and the subsequent drying parameters for the clothes are determined based on the results of the next wall-adhering state detection. This can effectively ensure and improve the drying effect of the clothes, and can also effectively improve the user experience of the clothes processing equipment.

[0098] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, when the second motion state is detected to be the wall-attached state, after the laundry processing drum finishes the drying process, the laundry is subsequently dried for a delayed time based on the determined drying time of the drying compensation process, thereby ensuring the drying of the laundry. The drying compensation process drying parameters may also include the rotation rhythm of the laundry processing drum.

[0099] The drying time is related to the current weight of the clothes. That is, when the current weight of the clothes is heavier, the subsequent drying time is longer, as shown in Table 1.

[0100] Current weight (M) Drying time (min) 0<M≤0.5 6 0.5<M≤1 16 1<M≤2 24 2<M≤3 40 3<M≤4 50 4<M≤5 50 5<M≤6 60 6<M≤7 60 M>7 60

[0101] In some embodiments, the current weight of the clothes is divided into categories, and as the current weight of the clothes increases, the categories increase, and as the categories increase, the subsequent drying time for the clothes gradually increases.

[0102] When the current weight M of the clothes is within 0.5Kg (including 0.5Kg), that is, 0<M≤0.5Kg, it is classified as the first gear, and the drying time of the first gear is 6 minutes.

[0103] When the current weight M of the clothes is between 0.5Kg (not included) and 1Kg (inclusive), that is, 0.5<M≤1Kg, it is classified as the second gear, and the drying time of the second gear is 16 minutes.

[0104] When the current weight M of the clothes is between 1Kg (not included) and 2Kg (inclusive), that is, 1<M≤2Kg, it is classified as the third gear, and the drying time of the third gear is 24 minutes.

[0105] When the current weight M of the clothes is between 2Kg (not included) and 3Kg (inclusive), that is, 2<M≤3Kg, it is classified as the fourth gear, and the drying time of the fourth gear is 40 minutes.

[0106] When the current weight M of the clothes is between 3Kg (not included) and 4Kg (inclusive), that is, 3<M≤4Kg, it is classified as the fifth gear, and the drying time of the fifth gear is 50 minutes.

[0107] When the current weight M of the clothes is between 4Kg (not included) and 5Kg (inclusive), that is, 4<M≤5Kg, it is classified as the sixth gear, and the drying time of the sixth gear is 60 minutes.

[0108] When the current weight M of the clothes is between 5Kg (not included) and 6Kg (inclusive), that is, 5<M≤6Kg, it is classified as the seventh gear, and the drying time of the seventh gear is 60 minutes.

[0109] When the current weight M of the clothes is between 6Kg (not included) and 7Kg (inclusive), that is, 6<M≤7Kg, it is classified as the eighth gear, and the drying time of the eighth gear is 60 minutes.

[0110] When the current weight M of the clothes is greater than 7Kg, it is classified as the ninth gear, and the drying time of the ninth gear is 60 minutes.

[0111] After the subsequent drying time of the clothes is determined according to the current weight of the clothes, the clothes processing drum is controlled to run at a set rotation rhythm according to the drying time until the drying time ends.

[0112] In some embodiments, the following method can be used to control the laundry treatment drum to run at a set rotation rhythm:

[0113] The laundry processing drum is controlled to rotate forward at a first acceleration rhythm. In the specific operation of the first acceleration rhythm, the laundry processing drum can be controlled to rotate forward at a first acceleration value. When the rotation speed of the laundry processing drum is accelerated to the first forward rotation speed, the laundry processing drum is controlled to run at the first forward rotation speed for a first time.

[0114] After the first time is over, the laundry processing drum is controlled to continue to rotate at an accelerated speed, and when it is accelerated from the first forward speed to the second forward speed, the laundry processing drum is controlled to run at the second forward speed for a second time.

[0115] After the second time is over, the laundry processing drum is controlled to continue to accelerate, and when it is accelerated from the second forward speed to the third forward speed, the laundry processing drum is controlled to run at the third forward speed for a third time.

[0116] After the third time is over, the clothes processing drum is controlled to stop running.

[0117] In one example, the first acceleration value may include, but is not limited to, 40 rpm / s.

[0118] After the forward rotation of the laundry treatment drum is finished, the operation is stopped and a first set time is ensured, and the first set time may include but is not limited to 20 seconds.

[0119] After the first set time is over, the laundry processing drum is controlled to rotate in the reverse direction at the second acceleration rhythm. During the specific operation of the second acceleration rhythm, the laundry processing drum can be controlled to rotate in the reverse direction at the second acceleration value. When the rotation speed of the laundry processing drum is accelerated to the first reverse rotation speed, the laundry processing drum is controlled to operate at the first reverse rotation speed for a fifth time, and after the fifth time is over, the laundry processing drum is controlled to stop operating for a sixth time.

[0120] After the sixth time is over, the clothes processing drum is controlled to continue to accelerate. When accelerating from the first reverse speed to the second reverse speed, the clothes processing drum is controlled to run at the second reverse speed for a seventh time. After the seventh time is over, the clothes processing drum is controlled to stop running for an eighth time.

[0121] After the eighth time is over, the laundry processing drum is controlled to rotate in the forward direction.

[0122] The second acceleration value is less than the first acceleration value. In one example, the first acceleration value may include but is not limited to 30 rpm / s.

[0123] The forward rotation and reverse rotation of the laundry processing drum are repeated until the drying time is over, so that the laundry in the laundry processing drum is completely dried, thereby providing the user with a better use experience of the laundry processing device.

[0124] In a specific example, the process of controlling the laundry treatment drum to run at a set rotation rhythm is as follows:

[0125] During the drying compensation process, the control system controls the motor to rotate, and the motor accelerates forward at an acceleration value of 40rpm / s. When the speed reaches 40rpm, it maintains the speed and runs for 15s. After 15s, the motor speed is continued to be accelerated. When the motor speed reaches 60rpm, it maintains the speed and runs for 5s. After 5s, the motor speed is continued to be accelerated. When the motor speed reaches 120rpm, it maintains the speed and runs for 20s.

[0126] After 20 seconds, the motor is controlled to stop rotating and the motor is kept stopped for 20 seconds.

[0127] After the motor stops rotating for 20 seconds, the motor is controlled to accelerate in the reverse direction at an acceleration value of 30rpm / s. When the speed reaches 90rpm, it maintains the speed and runs for 20 seconds. After the 20 seconds run, it stops running for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the motor speed is continued to be controlled to accelerate. When the motor speed reaches 120rpm, it maintains the speed and runs for 15 seconds. After the 15 seconds run, it stops running for 15 seconds.

[0128] After 15 seconds, the motor is controlled to rotate forward and the above cycle is repeated until the drying time is over.

[0129] In this example, after determining the subsequent drying time of the clothes, the rotation rhythm of the clothing processing machine is effectively adjusted to effectively ensure and improve the drying effect of the clothes, ensure that the clothes can be dried thoroughly, and improve the user experience of the clothing processing equipment.

[0130] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus includes a driving member for driving the laundry processing drum to rotate, wherein the driving member may include but is not limited to a motor.

[0131] The first motion state and the second motion state may be detected by the following method:

[0132] When the driving member is in stable rotation, multiple power values ​​of the driving member are obtained during the process of weighing the clothes. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in , when the driving member is started, there will be an extremely high power value. Therefore, in order to avoid the influence of the peak value when the driving member is started on the subsequent power value calculation, multiple power values ​​of the driving member are obtained when the driving member is in a stable rotation period.

[0133] Then, according to the magnitude relationship between the statistical values ​​of the plurality of power values ​​and the preset threshold value, it is determined whether the clothes are in a wall-adhering state in the clothes processing drum.

[0134] In one example, the statistical values ​​of the multiple power values ​​include at least the limit power difference and the average power of the driver. The limit power difference of the driver is used to characterize the difference between the maximum power and the minimum power of the driver when the driver is in stable rotation. The average power is used to characterize the average value of multiple power values ​​detected in a cycle when the driver is in stable rotation.

[0135] The preset threshold includes a first threshold and a second threshold, wherein the first threshold may be a value of 20, and the second threshold may be a value of 10.

[0136] When the limit power difference is less than or equal to the first threshold value, and the average power is less than or equal to the second threshold value, it is determined that the clothes are in a state of being attached to the wall of the laundry treatment drum. When it is determined that the clothes are in a moving state, after the normal drying process is finished, the drying time of the subsequent drying compensation process of the clothes is determined to extend the drying time of the clothes, thereby ensuring that the clothes are completely dried and improving the drying effect of the clothes.

[0137] Among them, the use of two limiting conditions can effectively improve the accuracy of judging whether the clothing is in a wall-adhering state and avoid misjudgment.

[0138] When the limit power difference is greater than the first threshold and the average power is greater than the second threshold, it is determined that the clothes are not attached to the wall in the clothes processing drum. When it is determined that the clothes are not attached to the wall, the clothes processing device is controlled to perform a normal drying process.

[0139] In the actual judgment process of the control system, the following situations may also exist:

[0140] The limit power difference is greater than the first threshold, but the average power is less than or equal to the second threshold; or, the continuous power difference is less than or equal to the first threshold, but the average power is greater than the second threshold. That is, in the two cases of determining the wall-attached state, there is one determination of the non-wall-attached state and one determination of the wall-attached state.

[0141] When the above-mentioned wall-adhering state and non-wall-adhering state are judged once each in the process of judging the wall-adhering state of the clothes, that is, the limit power difference is less than or equal to the first threshold value, and the average power is greater than the second threshold value, or the limit power difference is greater than the first threshold value, and the average power is less than or equal to the second threshold value, the clothes are weighed again, and multiple power values ​​of the driving component continue to be obtained during the weighing process.

[0142] Then, the statistical values ​​of the multiple power values ​​obtained again are compared with the preset threshold value.

[0143] In the above comparison process, when the judgment result of the adhered state and the non-adhered state is established once, the number of establishment is recorded once.

[0144] When the number of consecutive times of the establishment is greater than the set value, it is determined that the clothes are in a wall-adhering state in the clothes treatment drum. When it is determined that the clothes are in a wall-adhering state, after the normal drying process is finished, the drying time of the subsequent drying compensation process of the clothes is determined to extend the drying time of the clothes, thereby ensuring that the clothes are completely dried and improving the drying effect of the clothes.

[0145] The setting value may be 3 times. It should be noted that, in theory, the situation where the number of consecutive times is greater than 3 will not occur continuously. When this situation occurs 3 times or more in a row, it may be caused by the special situation of the clothes in the clothes treatment drum. The setting value is set to 3 here to prevent the weighing time of the clothes from being too long.

[0146] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention further provides an electronic device, which includes a processor (not shown in the figure) and a memory (not shown in the figure) connected to the processor. The memory is used to store one or more computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions can be called by the processor and execute the drying control method of the clothes processing device in the above embodiment.

[0147] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention further provides a clothes processing device. The clothes processing device is controlled by the drying control method of the clothes processing device in any of the above embodiments; or, the electronic device has the above embodiments.

[0148] In the above example, the clothing treatment device includes a clothing treatment drum, and the clothing treatment device can run a drying program to dry the clothing in the clothing treatment drum. The drying control method includes: in the process of running the drying program, detecting the first movement state of the clothing in the clothing treatment drum; when the first movement state is in a wall-adhering state, controlling the clothing treatment drum to run a shaking program; after the shaking program is finished, detecting the second movement state of the clothing and the clothing treatment drum; finally, when the second movement state is in a wall-adhering state, determining the drying parameters of the drying compensation program after the drying program is finished, and the drying parameters include the drying time. That is, in the present invention, after the clothing in the clothing treatment drum is dehydrated, the wall-adhering state is detected at least twice in a row, and according to the detection result of the latter wall-adhering state, the drying parameters of the drying compensation program after the drying program is performed on the clothing are determined, so that the drying effect of the clothing can be effectively guaranteed and improved, and the user experience of the clothing treatment device can also be effectively improved.
