In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to solve the problem that the existing clothing care machine cannot remove wrinkles in the area near the collar, the clothing care machine of the present invention includes a first clothespin 1 and an elastic member, the first clothespin 1 includes a first clamping portion 11, and the first clamping portion 11 is configured to gradually reduce its width along the collar opening toward the hem direction, so that when the clothes are hung on the hanging rod 41, the first clamping portion 11 clamps both sides of the collar, one end of the elastic member is connected to the first clothespin 1, and the other end of the elastic member is connected to the hanging rod 41.

[0030] The advantage of the above arrangement is that the clothes are hung on the hanging rod 41 in the clothing care machine through the hanger, and the first clamping part 11 of the first clothespin 1 clamps the collars on both sides, and plays a role of pulling the left and right sides of the collar toward the middle. One end of the elastic member is hung on the hanging rod 41, and the other end is connected to the first clothespin 1, so that the first clothespin 1 is subjected to the upward force of the elastic member. The first clamping part 11 is configured to gradually reduce its width along the collar opening toward the hem direction. That is to say, the shape of the first clamping part 11 is similar to a V-shaped structure, which can make the fold area on both sides of the collar from bottom to top more evenly stressed. Figure 1 , Figure 1 The A area is the wrinkle area, and the elastic force of the elastic member enables the first clothespin 1 to evenly pull the two sides of the collar upward, thereby achieving the effect of effectively removing wrinkles from the wrinkle areas on both sides of the collar. It should be noted that the wrinkle area A on the chest on both sides of the collar has always been a difficult problem in clothing care machines for removing wrinkles from clothes. Even if the collar is clamped with an ordinary clothespin, the wrinkles on both sides of the collar cannot be removed. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the inventor of the present invention found through research that since the collar is prone to collapse downward, the uneven force on the two sides of the collar is an important reason why the wrinkles cannot be removed. Therefore, the present invention uses a V-shaped clothespin in conjunction with an elastic member to evenly pull and remove wrinkles from the wrinkle areas on both sides of the collar, which greatly improves the wrinkle removal effect of collared clothes.

[0031] Continue to refer to Figure 1 In a possible embodiment, the clothing care machine also includes a cabinet 4, a hanging rod 41, a second clothespin 2 and a swinging mechanism 3. A first accommodating cavity for accommodating clothes is provided in the cabinet 4. The hanging rod 41 is provided in the first accommodating cavity. The clothes are hung on the hanging rod 41 through a hanger. The first clothespin 1 includes a first clamping portion 11.

The second clothespin 2 is clamped on the hem of the clothes, and the second clothespin 2 is connected to the swinging mechanism 3. When the swinging mechanism 3 swings, the second clothespin 2 is driven to swing and pull the clothes, and the clothes remain in a suspended and pulled state to improve the wrinkle removal effect. However, it should be noted that in addition to the tension spring 5, the elastic member can also be elastic rubber, elastic silicone, etc. The present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the elastic member. As long as it has telescopic elasticity, it falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

Optionally, a connecting plate 13 is respectively provided on the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate, and both ends of the connecting rod 12 are respectively connected to the connecting plate 13.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 The second clothespin 2 includes a second clamping portion 21 and a second torsion spring 22, the second clamping portion 21 and the second torsion spring 22 are connected, the second clamping portion 21 is clamped on the hem of the clothes, and the second torsion spring 22 is connected to the swing mechanism 3. Of course, the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific structure of the second clothespin 2, as long as it can be clamped on the clothes, those skilled in the art can set it according to their needs, and it all falls within the protection scope of the present invention. In addition, although the appendix of the present invention Figure 1 The number of the second clothespins 2 is two, but this is not intended to limit the number of the second clothespins 2. The number can also be three, four, five, etc. Those skilled in the art can set the number of the second clothespins 2 as needed, and all of them fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] The swing mechanism 3 includes a swing rod 31 and a driving device, and the driving device is connected to the swing rod 31 in a transmission manner to drive the swing rod 31 to swing. Optionally, the structure of the swing rod 31 is a quadrilateral frame, the upper transverse rod of the swing rod 31 is connected to the second clothespin 2, and the upper transverse rod penetrates the center of the second torsion spring 22 and is connected to the second torsion spring 22, and the lower transverse rod of the swing rod 31 is connected to the driving device. Optionally, the driving device includes a motor 32 and an eccentric block 33, and the eccentric block 33 is eccentrically arranged on the output shaft of at least one side of the motor 32, and the swing rod 31 is connected to the motor 32. After the motor 32 is started, the eccentric block 33 rotates with the output shaft, and can continuously generate upward and downward centrifugal forces alternately, and the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the output shaft of the motor 32 and the eccentric block 33 is used to obtain the exciting force, and the exciting force acts on the swing rod 31, thereby driving the swing rod 31 to swing and shake, and then pulling and shaking the hem of the clothes in the suspended state to achieve the effect of removing wrinkles. However, it should be noted that the structure of the swing arm 31 is not limited to a quadrilateral frame, and it can also be other shapes such as a triangle. The connection position of the swing arm 31 with the second clothespin 2 and the motor 32 can also be set by technical personnel in this field. As long as a part of the swing arm 31 is respectively connected to the second clothespin 2 and the motor 32, it falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] Reference Figure 5Furthermore, the swing mechanism 3 also includes a plurality of counterweight blocks 34 with different weights used as loads. The counterweight blocks 34 are placed in the second accommodating chamber. When caring for clothes of different types or weights, different counterweight blocks 34 are added to the eccentric block 33 to change the total load, so as to remove wrinkles from clothes of different materials. This can not only improve the wrinkle removal effect of the clothing care machine, but also prevent excessive wrinkle removal from causing damage to easily deformed clothes such as silk and cashmere. Optionally, the counterweight block 34 is configured to be connected to the eccentric block 33 through a magnet. Specifically, a first magnet is provided on the counterweight block 34, and a second magnet matching the first magnet is provided on the eccentric block 33. The counterweight block 34 can be connected to the eccentric block 33 by attracting the first magnet and the second second magnet. However, it should also be noted that the connection method between the counterweight block 34 and the eccentric block 33 can be set by those skilled in the art. For example, the counterweight block 34 and the eccentric block 33 can also be connected by snap-fitting or bolting, etc. Those skilled in the art can choose the connection method between the counterweight block 34 and the eccentric block 33 as needed, and all of them fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] Alternatively, in an alternative embodiment, one side output shaft of the motor 32 is connected to the fixed eccentric block 33, and the other side output shaft is connected to the adjustable eccentric block 33. The exciting force of the vibration motor 32 is adjusted by adjusting the angle between the adjustable eccentric block 33 and the fixed eccentric block 33. When the two eccentric blocks 33 completely overlap, the exciting force of the vibration motor 32 is the largest, and when the two eccentric blocks 33 are vertical, the exciting force of the vibration motor 32 is the smallest. Therefore, those skilled in the art can set the vibration motor 32 as needed. The present invention does not impose any restrictions on the structure of the vibration motor 32, and all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0038] Of course, the method of driving the swinging rod 31 to swing is not limited to connecting it to the vibration motor 32. It can also be driven to swing the swinging rod 31 in other ways. For example, in a replaceable embodiment, the clothing care machine also includes a connecting rod assembly, and the connecting rod assembly includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod. Optionally, the driving device is a motor 32, one end of the first connecting rod is connected to the output shaft of the motor 32, and the other end is hinged to one end of the second connecting rod, and the other end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the swinging rod 31. The swinging rod 31 is swingably arranged in the cabinet 4. When the output shaft of the motor 32 rotates, it drives the first connecting rod to rotate, the first connecting rod drives the second connecting rod to swing, and the second connecting rod drives the swinging rod 31 to swing back and forth, thereby pulling and removing wrinkles on the clothes. Optionally, a rotating shaft is provided at both ends of the swinging rod 31, and the rotating shaft is rotatably arranged on both sides of the cabinet 4, so that the swinging rod 31 can swing relative to the cabinet.

[0039] Furthermore, the clothing care machine also includes a pulley assembly, which includes a first pulley, a second pulley and a belt. The first pulley and the second pulley are connected by a belt. The output shaft of the motor 32 is transmission-connected to the wheel center of the first pulley, and the wheel center of the second pulley is connected to one end of the first connecting rod, thereby transmitting the torque of the motor 32 to the first connecting rod through the belt.

[0040] It should also be noted that there are many ways to drive the swing rod 31 to swing and shake. The present invention does not impose any restrictions on the swing and shaking methods of the swing rod 31. As long as it can pull and remove wrinkles on clothes, it falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] It should also be noted that the type of the driving device is not limited to the motor 32. The driving device can also be a pneumatic motor or a hydraulic motor, etc. Those skilled in the art can set the type of the driving device as needed, and all of them fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] In a possible embodiment, the clothing care machine further includes a steam generator, which is disposed in the cabinet 4. When the clothing is de-wrinkled, the steam from the steam generator can be used to de-wrinkle the clothing, thereby further improving the de-wrinkle effect and reducing the de-wrinkle time. A water leakage hole 43 is disposed on the partition 42 between the first accommodating chamber and the second accommodating chamber, and a water receiving pan is disposed below the water leakage hole 43. A drain pipe is connected to the water receiving pan, and the drain pipe penetrates the cabinet 4 and extends to the outside of the cabinet 4. When the steam generator is used, the condensed water after the steam condenses flows into the water leakage hole 43 along the inner wall of the cabinet 4, and finally gathers in the water receiving pan. Finally, the condensed water enters the drain pipe and is discharged from the cabinet 4, so as to prevent the condensed water from falling on the transmission components and affecting the service life, and also to keep the cabinet 4 dry and hygienic.

[0043] To sum up, the clothing care machine of the present invention clamps the collars on both sides through the first V-shaped clothespin 1, and clamps the hem of the clothes through the second clothespin 2. The first clothespin 1 is connected to a tension spring 5, and the second clothespin 2 is connected to the swing rod 31. When the swing rod 31 swings and shakes, the clothes are pulled and shaken in different directions, especially the wrinkled areas below the two sides of the collar. The wrinkled areas on both sides of the collar are subjected to the pulling force toward the middle and upward by the V-shaped clothespin, and are also subjected to the pulling force during the swinging and shaking. The V-shaped clothespin exerts a more uniform force on both sides of the collar from bottom to top, so that the wrinkled areas on both sides of the collar can be stretched flat, greatly improving the user experience.

[0044] In addition, the present invention also provides a control method for a clothing care machine, where the clothing care machine includes the clothing care machine in any of the above embodiments.

[0045] Specifically, refer to Figure 1The clothing care machine includes a first clothespin 1 and a tension spring 5. The first clothespin 1 includes a first clamping portion 11. The first clamping portion 11 is configured to gradually reduce its width along the collar opening toward the hem direction, so that when the clothing is hung on the hanging rod 41 through the hanger, the first clamping portion 11 clamps both sides of the collar. One end of the tension spring 5 is connected to the first clothespin 1, and the other end of the tension spring 5 is connected to the hanging rod 41.

[0046] Control methods include:

[0047] Step: determine whether the hanging clothes are provided with collars;

[0048] Step: When the judgment result is yes, the user is prompted to clip the first clothespin on the collar.

[0049] To determine whether a piece of clothing has a collar, a camera may be provided on the clothing care machine to obtain an image of the clothing, and then the image of the clothing may be analyzed to determine whether the clothing has a collar. Alternatively, a display screen may be provided on the clothing care machine, and a user may input whether the clothing has a collar through the display screen. If the clothing has a collar, the user is prompted to clip the first clothespin 1 on the collar. If the clothing has no collar, the first clothespin 1 is not used.

[0050] However, it should be noted that there are many ways to determine whether a garment has a collar, and those skilled in the art can determine whether a garment has a collar as needed, and all of these methods fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The clothing care machine also includes a cabinet 4, a hanging rod 41, a second clothespin 2 and a swinging mechanism 3. Clothes are hung on the hanging rod 41 through a hanger. The first clothespin 1 includes a first clamping portion 11. The first clamping portion 11 is configured to gradually decrease in width along the collar opening toward the hem direction, so that when the first clamping portion 11 of the first clothespin 1 clamps the collars on both sides, one end of the tension spring 5 is connected to the first clothespin 1, and the other end of the tension spring 5 is connected to the hanging rod 41. The second clothespin 2 is clamped on the hem of the clothes. The second clothespin 2 is connected to the swinging mechanism 3, so that when the swinging mechanism 3 swings, the second clothespin 2 is driven to swing and pull the clothes to improve the wrinkle removal effect.

[0052] The swing mechanism 3 includes a swing rod 31 and a driving device, and the driving device is in transmission connection with the swing rod 31 to drive the swing rod 31 to swing. Optionally, the driving device includes a motor 32 and an eccentric block 33, and the eccentric block 33 is eccentrically arranged on the output shaft of at least one side of the motor 32. The swing rod 31 is connected to the motor 32. After the motor 32 is started, the eccentric block 33 rotates with the output shaft, and can continuously and alternately generate upward and downward centrifugal forces. The centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the output shaft of the motor 32 and the eccentric block 33 is used to obtain an exciting force, and the exciting force acts on the swing rod 31, thereby driving the swing rod 31 to swing and shake, and then pulling and shaking the hem of the clothes to achieve the effect of removing wrinkles.

[0053] Furthermore, the driving device also includes a plurality of counterweight blocks 34 with different weights used as loads. The counterweight blocks 34 are placed in the second accommodating chamber. When caring for clothes of different types or weights, different counterweight blocks 34 are added to the eccentric block 33 to change the total load, so that different clothes can be dewrinkled. This can not only improve the dewrinkling effect of the clothing care machine, but also prevent excessive dewrinkling from causing damage to easily deformed clothes such as silk and cashmere.

[0054] Control methods include:

[0055] Steps: Detect the material of the hanging clothes;

[0056] Step: When the material of the clothing is easily deformed, the user is prompted to add a counterweight block of the first weight;

[0057] When the material of the clothing is not easily deformed, the user is prompted to add a counterweight of a second weight; wherein the first preset weight is less than the second preset weight, and the first weight is less than the second weight.

[0058] When the clothing is made of a deformable material, it means that the clothing cannot withstand large shaking, and the user is prompted to install a counterweight block 34 of the first weight. When the clothing is made of a non-deformable material, it means that the clothing can withstand large shaking, and the user is prompted to use a counterweight block 34 of the second weight. The non-deformable material can be cotton, linen, chemical fiber, acrylic fiber, etc., and the deformable material can be silk, wool, knitwear, etc. Those skilled in the art can set the non-deformable material and the deformable material according to their needs, and the present invention does not impose any limitation on this.

[0059] In order to further prevent the pulling force of the swing rod 31 from causing deformation of the clothes, the control method further includes:

[0060] Detect the weight of the hanging clothes;

[0061] When the material of the clothing is not easily deformed and the weight of the clothing is within a first preset weight range, the user is prompted to add a counterweight of a first weight;

[0062] When the material of the clothes is easily deformed and the weight of the clothes is within the first preset weight range, no weight block is added.

[0063] When the material of the clothing is not easily deformed and the weight of the clothing is within the second preset weight range, the user is prompted to add a counterweight of the second weight;

[0064] When the material of the clothes is easily deformable and the weight of the clothes is within the second preset weight range, the user is prompted to add a counterweight of the first weight.

[0065] Specifically, when the clothes are made of a material that is not easy to deform and the weight is within a first preset weight range, the user is prompted to add a first weight counterweight. When the clothes are made of a material that is easily deformed and the weight is within the first preset weight range, it means that the clothes are easily deformed and the weight is only slightly heavy and should not be swung too much, so no counterweight is added; when the clothes are made of a material that is not easy to deform and the weight of the clothes is within a second preset weight range, it means that the clothes are not easy to deform and the weight of the clothes is heavier, and a second weight counterweight can be added; when the clothes are made of a material that is easily deformed and the weight of the clothes is within the second preset weight range, it means that the clothes are easily deformed but the weight is very heavy, so the weight of the counterweight is reduced.

[0066] It should be noted that the method of prompting the user can be a voice prompt, a display screen prompt, etc., and those skilled in the art can set the prompt method as needed, and all of them fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0067] As stated in the first paragraph of this section, the above implementation mode is only used to illustrate the principles of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.
