[0035] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that although the steps of the control method of the present invention are described in a specific order in this application, these orders are not restrictive. Without departing from the basic principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can perform the steps in different orders. For example, the execution order of steps S110 and S120 in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 can be interchanged, or steps S110 and S120 can be performed simultaneously.

[0037] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "top" and "bottom," which indicate direction or positional relationships, are based on the direction or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is merely for ease of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and "fifth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, for example, referring to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the garment care machine of the present invention includes a housing 1, and a garment shaking device is provided inside the housing 1. The garment shaking device includes a drive mechanism, a protective box 3, a hanging rod 4 and a hanger 7. The hanging rod 4 is slidably connected to the housing 1, the protective box 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the drive mechanism is disposed inside the protective box 3.

[0040] The bottom side of the protective box 3 is provided with a motion groove 31, and the clothes rod 4 is provided with a column 41. The column 41 passes through the motion groove 31 and is connected to the drive mechanism. The motion groove 31 allows the column 41 to move along the length of the clothes rod 4 within the motion groove 31. The drive mechanism can drive the clothes rod 4 to move back and forth.

[0041] The clothes hanger 7 is installed on the clothes rod 4. When the clothes rod 4 moves back and forth, the clothes hanger 7 moves back and forth with the clothes rod 4, which can cause the clothes to shake and prevent the clothes from wrinkling during the drying process.

[0042] It should be noted that in practical applications, the drive mechanism can be set as a hydraulic drive mechanism or a motor drive mechanism, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific type of drive mechanism do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention, and should be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive mechanism includes a motor (not shown) and a transmission assembly 2. The motor is fixed on the inner wall of the housing 1. One end of the transmission assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the other end of the transmission assembly 2 is connected to the column 41 on the clothes rack 4. The motor drives the transmission assembly 2 to move, and the transmission assembly 2 drives the clothes rack 4 to move back and forth.

[0044] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art can configure the transmission component 2 as a structure of crank and connecting rod, or as a rocker arm assembly, or as a structure of cam and push rod, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structural form of the transmission component 2 do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should all be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0045] Preferably, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly 2 includes a crank 21 and a connecting rod 22. Both the crank 21 and the connecting rod 22 are housed in the protective box 3. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the first end of the crank 21. The second end of the crank 21 is hinged to the first end of the connecting rod 22. The second end of the connecting rod 22 is hinged to the column 41.

[0046] The motor can drive the crank 21 to rotate around its first end (i.e., relative to the output shaft of the motor), thereby driving the first end of the connecting rod 22 to rotate. The second end of the connecting rod 22 drives the clothes hanging rod 4 to move back and forth, so that the clothes can be shaken.

[0047] Preferably, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the clothing shaking device of the present invention also includes a connecting seat 5 disposed between the connecting rod 22 and the column 41. The connecting seat 5 is fixedly connected to the column 41 or is configured as an integral part thereof, and the second end of the connecting rod 22 is hinged to the connecting seat 5.

[0048] The clothes rack 4 has two uprights 41, and the two ends of the connecting seat 5 are fixedly connected to the two uprights 41 respectively. A connecting post 51 is provided in the middle of the connecting seat 5, and the connecting post 51 is hinged to the second end of the connecting rod 22.

[0049] This design increases the stress points on the clothes rack 4, thus preventing damage caused by stress concentration. Of course, the connecting seat 5 and the two uprights 41 can also be integrated.

[0050] Preferably, the clothing shaking device of the present invention further includes a positioning component, and the protective box 3 is positioned on the box body 1 by the positioning component.

[0051] The positioning component can be configured as a structure in which a positioning post and a positioning hole cooperate, or as a structure in which a positioning plate and a positioning groove cooperate, or as a structure in which a positioning block and a positioning opening cooperate. In addition, the positioning component can be set only on the protective box 3, or only on the box 1, or partly on the protective box 3 and partly on the box 1. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structural form and specific setting position of the positioning component in practical applications, as long as the protective box 3 can be positioned on the box 1 by the positioning component.

[0052] Preferably, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning component includes a first positioning structure disposed on the protective box 3 and a second positioning structure disposed on the housing 1 (not shown in the figure). The protective box 3 and the housing 1 are positioned by the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure.

[0053] The first positioning structure is a positioning post 32 set on the protective box 3, and the second positioning structure is a positioning hole (not shown in the figure) set on the box body 1. The positioning post 32 is adapted to the positioning hole.

[0054] In one possible scenario, the positioning post 32 is a circular post and there are two of them. Correspondingly, the positioning hole is a circular hole and there are also two of them. The circular post and the circular hole correspond one-to-one. Of course, the positioning post 32 can also be set as a square post, a rhombus post, or other structure. Correspondingly, the positioning hole can be set as a square hole or a rhombus hole. In addition, the number of positioning posts 32 and positioning holes can also be one or three. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structural form and specific number of positioning posts 32 and positioning holes do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention and should all be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0055] Alternatively, the first positioning structure can be a positioning hole provided on the protective box 3, and correspondingly, the second positioning structure can be a positioning post provided on the box body 1, with the positioning post matching the positioning hole. This flexible adjustment should also be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0056] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clothing shaking device of the present invention also includes an elastic clip 6 disposed on the clothes hanging rod 4. The elastic clip 6 can elastically clamp the hook portion of the clothes hanger 7 to prevent the clothes hanger 7 from falling off the clothes hanging rod 4.

[0057] The elastic clip 6 is made of plastic material, which has a certain degree of elasticity and can achieve elastic clamping of the clothes hanger 7. Of course, the elastic clip 6 can also be made of other elastic materials such as rubber. Such adjustments and changes to the specific manufacturing material of the elastic clip 6 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention and should be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0058] Preferably, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the clothes rack 4 is provided with a slot 42, and the elastic clip 6 is provided with a hook 61. The hook 61 can be locked in the slot 42 to lock the elastic clip 6 onto the clothes rack 4.

[0059] For example, the clothes rack 4 is provided with five elastic clips 6, each elastic clip 6 is provided with two hooks 61, and two slots 42 corresponding to the hooks 61 are provided at the part where the clothes rack 4 connects to the elastic clips 6, with each hook 61 and slot 42 corresponding to the other.

[0060] It should be noted that the number of elastic clips 6 is not limited to five. For example, it can also be four, six, or eight. Such adjustments and changes to the specific number of elastic clips 6 do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0061] Furthermore, the number of hooks 61 provided on the elastic clip 6 is not limited to two. For example, it can be one or three. Correspondingly, the number of slots 42 can also be one or three. In this case, the shapes of the hooks 61 and slots 42 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0062] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, a reinforcing rib 62 is provided on the hook 61. This design increases the strength of the hook 61, thereby improving the connection stability between the hook 61 and the bayonet 42, and further improving the connection stability between the elastic clip 6 and the clothes rail 4.

[0063] It should be noted that although only one reinforcing rib 62 is provided on one side of the hook 61 in the figure, this is not restrictive. A reinforcing rib 62 can also be provided on the other side of the hook 61, or two reinforcing ribs 62 can be provided on one side of the hook 61, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific location and number of reinforcing ribs 62 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and should all be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0064] Preferably, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the elastic clip 6 has a support structure 63 on the side facing the clothes rack 4. When assembled, the support structure 63 elastically abuts against the clothes rack 4 so that the hook 61 is fastened in the slot 42.

[0065] When the assembly is complete, the support structure 63 is in a compressed state, which causes the elastic clip 6 to be subjected to a support reaction force. Under the action of this support reaction force, the hook 61 can be hooked onto the slot 42.

[0066] This design allows the elastic clip 6 to be securely fixed to the clothes rack 4, preventing the elastic clip 6 from wobbling relative to the clothes rack 4.

[0067] In this invention, the support structure 63 is a support plate formed on the elastic clip 6. When assembled, the bottom of the support plate elastically abuts against the clothes rail 4 so that the hook 61 is fastened to the latch 42. Of course, the support structure 63 can also be a support column or other structure formed on the elastic clip 6. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structural form of the support structure 63 do not deviate from the principles and scope of this invention and should be limited to the protection scope of this invention.

[0068] Based on the garment care machine described above, this invention also provides a control method for the garment care machine, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the control method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0069] S100: Acquire data of the clothing hanging on the clothing shaking device.

[0070] S200: Obtains the corresponding preset shaking speed based on the data of the clothing.

[0071] S300: Makes the clothing shaking device operate at a preset shaking speed.

[0072] This setup improves the intelligence of the garment care machine and allows the shaking speed of the garment shaking device to match the clothes hanging on it, thus enhancing the drying effect.

[0073] The data on clothing may include any one, two, or more of the following: weight, quantity, type, length, and material.

[0074] The control method of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to three specific implementation methods.

[0075] Example 1

[0076] like Figure 8 As shown, the control method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0077] S110: Obtain the weight Q of the clothing hanging on the clothing shaking device.

[0078] S120: Get the number N of clothes hanging on the clothes shaking device.

[0079] In this embodiment, the acquired clothing data includes the weight and quantity of clothing, and then the corresponding preset shaking speed is obtained based on the weight and quantity of clothing. The specific steps include S210, S220, S230 and S240.

[0080] A gravity sensor can be installed between each hanger 7 and the hanging rod 4, and each gravity sensor can be connected to the controller of the garment care machine. Based on the data fed back by the gravity sensor, the weight and quantity of the garments hanging on the garment shaking device can be obtained.

[0081] S210: Determine whether the weight Q of the clothing is less than the first preset value A1.

[0082] After obtaining the weight of the clothing hanging on the clothing shaking device, the weight of the clothing is first compared with a first preset value. If the weight of the clothing is less than the first preset value, the preset shaking speed is the first preset shaking speed, and step S310 is executed directly; otherwise, if the weight of the clothing is greater than or equal to the first preset value, steps S220, S230 and S240 are executed next.

[0083] S220: Calculate the ratio K = N / Nz of the number of clothes N to the total number of clothes the shaking device can support.

[0084] The total number of loads is the number of clothes hangers 7 installed on the clothes rod 4, for example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, there are 5 hangers 7, so the total number of loads Nz = 5.

[0085] S230: Compare the ratio K with the first set value B1.

[0086] S240: Compare the weight Q of the clothing with the second preset value A2.

[0087] When Q≥A1, it indicates that the weight of the clothes hanging on the clothes shaking device is relatively heavy. In this case, first calculate the ratio K of the number of clothes N to the total number of clothes Nz carried by the clothes shaking device. Then compare the ratio K and the weight of the clothes Q with the first preset value B1 and the second preset value A2, respectively. The second preset value A2 is greater than the first preset value A1.

[0088] If the weight of the clothing is less than the second preset value and the ratio is less than the first preset value, i.e., Q < A2 and K < B1, then the preset shaking speed is the second preset shaking speed, i.e., step S320 is executed.

[0089] If the weight of the clothing is less than the second preset value and the ratio is greater than or equal to the first preset value, i.e., Q < A2 and K ≥ B1, then the preset shaking speed is the third preset shaking speed, i.e., step S330 is executed.

[0090] If the weight of the clothing is greater than or equal to the second preset value and the ratio is less than the first preset value, i.e., Q≥A2 and K<B1, then the preset shaking speed is the fourth preset shaking speed, i.e., step S340 is executed.

[0091] If the weight of the clothing is greater than or equal to the second preset value and the ratio is greater than or equal to the first preset value, i.e., Q≥A2 and K≥B1, then the preset shaking speed is the fifth preset shaking speed, i.e., step S350 is executed.

[0092] S310: Make the clothing shaking device run at the first preset shaking speed.

[0093] S320: Make the clothing shaking device operate at the second preset shaking speed.

[0094] S330: Make the clothing shaking device operate at the third preset shaking speed.

[0095] S340: Make the clothing shaking device operate at the fourth preset shaking speed.

[0096] S350: Make the clothing shaking device operate at the fifth preset shaking speed.

[0097] Among them, the first preset speed is less than the second preset speed, the second preset speed is less than the third preset speed, the third preset speed is less than the fourth preset speed, and the fourth preset speed is less than the fifth preset speed. In practical applications, the shaking speed of the clothing shaking device can be controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the motor.

[0098] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific values ​​of the first preset value, the second preset value, and the first set value based on experiments or experience.

[0099] Preferably, the control method of this embodiment further includes: when the weight of the clothes hanging on the clothes shaking device is greater than the maximum limit weight, the clothes shaking device is not operated and the clothes care machine issues a prompt.

[0100] When the weight of the clothes hanging on the clothes shaking device exceeds the maximum limit, it means that the clothes are too heavy. In this case, the clothes shaking device should not be operated to avoid damage to its components.

[0101] It should be noted that a warning light can be installed on the garment care machine's casing. When the weight of the garment exceeds the maximum weight limit, the warning light will turn red to alert the user that the garment is too heavy. Alternatively, an audible alarm can be installed on the garment care machine's casing. When the weight of the garment exceeds the maximum weight limit, the audible alarm will sound to alert the user that the garment is too heavy. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of this invention and should all be limited to the protection scope of this invention.

[0102] Example 2

[0103] like Figure 9 As shown, the control method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0104] S110: Obtain the weight Q of the clothing hanging on the clothing shaking device.

[0105] S120: Get the number N of clothes hanging on the clothes shaking device.

[0106] This embodiment is the same as the first embodiment above. The clothing data obtained includes the weight and quantity of clothing. Then, the corresponding preset shaking speed is obtained based on the weight and quantity of clothing. The specific steps include S210, S220 and S230.

[0107] S210: Calculate the ratio K = N / Nz of the number of clothes N to the total number of clothes shakers Nz.

[0108] The total number of loads is the number of clothes hangers 7 installed on the clothes rod 4, for example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, there are 5 hangers 7, so the total number of loads Nz = 5.

[0109] S220: Compare the ratio K with the second set value B2.

[0110] S230: Compare the weight Q of the garment with the set weight Qo.

[0111] In this embodiment, after obtaining the weight of the clothes hanging on the clothes shaking device, the ratio of the number of clothes to the total number of clothes the clothes shaking device can support is first calculated; then the ratio and the weight of the clothes are compared with the second set value and the set weight, respectively; based on the comparison result, the corresponding preset shaking speed is obtained.

[0112] Specifically, if the weight of the clothing is less than the set weight and the ratio is less than the second set value, i.e. Q < Qo and K < B2, then the preset shaking speed is the first preset shaking speed, i.e., step S310 is executed.

[0113] If the weight of the clothing is less than the set weight and the ratio is greater than or equal to the second set value, i.e. Q < Qo and K ≥ B2, then the preset shaking speed is the second preset shaking speed, i.e., step S320 is executed.

[0114] If the weight of the clothing is greater than or equal to the set weight and the ratio is less than the second set value, i.e. Q≥Qo and K<B2, then the preset shaking speed is the third preset shaking speed, i.e., step S330 is executed.

[0115] If the weight of the clothing is greater than or equal to the set weight and the ratio is greater than or equal to the second set value, i.e., Q≥Qo and K≥B2, then the preset shaking speed is the fourth preset shaking speed, i.e., step S340 is executed.

[0116] S310: Make the clothing shaking device run at the first preset shaking speed.

[0117] S320: Make the clothing shaking device operate at the second preset shaking speed.

[0118] S330: Make the clothing shaking device operate at the third preset shaking speed.

[0119] S340: Make the clothing shaking device operate at the fourth preset shaking speed.

[0120] Among them, the first preset speed is less than the second preset speed, the second preset speed is less than the third preset speed, and the third preset speed is less than the fourth preset speed. In practical applications, the shaking speed of the clothing shaking device can be controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the motor.

[0121] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art can flexibly set the second setting value and the specific value of the setting weight based on experiments or experience.

[0122] Preferably, the control method of this embodiment further includes: when the weight of the clothes hanging on the clothes shaking device is greater than the maximum limit weight, the clothes shaking device is not operated and the clothes care machine issues a prompt.

[0123] When the weight of the clothes hanging on the clothes shaking device exceeds the maximum limit, it means that the clothes are too heavy. In this case, the clothes shaking device should not be operated to avoid damage to its components.

[0124] It should be noted that a warning light can be installed on the garment care machine's casing. When the weight of the garment exceeds the maximum weight limit, the warning light will turn red to alert the user that the garment is too heavy. Alternatively, an audible alarm can be installed on the garment care machine's casing. When the weight of the garment exceeds the maximum weight limit, the audible alarm will sound to alert the user that the garment is too heavy. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of this invention and should all be limited to the protection scope of this invention.

[0125] Example 3

[0126] like Figure 10 As shown, the control method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0127] S110: Obtain the weight Q of the clothing hanging on the clothing shaking device.

[0128] Unlike the two embodiments described above, in this embodiment, the data obtained for the clothing only includes the weight of the clothing.

[0129] After obtaining the weight of the clothing hanging on the clothing shaking device, the weight of the clothing is compared with the preset weight, and then the corresponding preset rotation speed is obtained based on the comparison result.

[0130] It should be noted that in practical applications, those skilled in the art may set only one preset weight, or two preset weights, or multiple preset weights, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should all be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0131] In a preferred embodiment, the preset weights include a first preset weight Q1, a second preset weight Q2, and a third preset weight Q3. After obtaining the weight of the clothing hanging on the clothing shaking device, step S210 is executed.

[0132] S210: Compare the weight of the clothing with the first preset weight Q1, the second preset weight Q2 and the third preset weight Q3 respectively.

[0133] If the weight of the clothing is less than the first preset weight, i.e., Q < Q1, then the preset shaking speed is the first preset shaking speed, i.e., step S310 is executed.

[0134] If the weight of the clothing is greater than or equal to the first preset weight and less than the second preset weight, i.e., Q1≤Q<Q2, then the preset shaking speed is the second preset shaking speed, i.e., step S320 is executed.

[0135] If the weight of the clothing is greater than or equal to the second preset weight and less than the third preset weight, i.e., Q2≤Q<Q3, then the preset shaking speed is the third preset shaking speed, i.e., step S330 is executed.

[0136] If the weight of the clothing is greater than or equal to the third preset weight, i.e., Q1≥Q3, then the preset shaking speed is the fourth preset shaking speed, i.e., step S340 is executed.

[0137] S310: Make the clothing shaking device run at the first preset shaking speed.

[0138] S320: Make the clothing shaking device operate at the second preset shaking speed.

[0139] S330: Make the clothing shaking device operate at the third preset shaking speed.

[0140] S340: Make the clothing shaking device operate at the fourth preset shaking speed.

[0141] Among them, the first preset speed is less than the second preset speed, the second preset speed is less than the third preset speed, and the third preset speed is less than the fourth preset speed. In practical applications, the shaking speed of the clothing shaking device can be controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the motor.

[0142] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific values ​​of the first preset weight, the second preset weight, and the third preset weight based on experiments or experience.

[0143] Preferably, the control method of this embodiment further includes: when the weight of the clothes hanging on the clothes shaking device is greater than the maximum limit weight, the clothes shaking device is not operated and the clothes care machine issues a prompt.

[0144] When the weight of the clothes hanging on the clothes shaking device exceeds the maximum limit, it means that the clothes are too heavy. In this case, the clothes shaking device should not be operated to avoid damage to its components.

[0145] It should be noted that a warning light can be installed on the garment care machine's casing. When the weight of the garment exceeds the maximum weight limit, the warning light will turn red to alert the user that the garment is too heavy. Alternatively, an audible alarm can be installed on the garment care machine's casing. When the weight of the garment exceeds the maximum weight limit, the audible alarm will sound to alert the user that the garment is too heavy. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of this invention and should all be limited to the protection scope of this invention.

[0146] It should be noted that the above control methods can all be executed by the controller of the garment care machine.

[0147] It should also be noted that the control method of the garment care machine provided in this embodiment can be stored as a program in a computer-readable storage medium. This storage medium includes several instructions to cause a computer device (which may be a personal computer, server, or network device, etc.) or processor to execute some steps of the methods of the various embodiments of the present invention. The aforementioned storage medium includes various media capable of storing program code, such as a USB flash drive, portable hard drive, read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), magnetic disk, or optical disk.
