[0002] In recent years, the washing and drying integrated machine with the function of drying clothes has been more and more popular among consumers because of its less space occupation and rich functions. Most of the existing washing and drying integrated machines suck the humid air in the barrel into the circulating air duct through a fan, dry it through heat exchange, and then send it back into the barrel for circulation after heating, so as to achieve the purpose of drying clothes. This method requires multiple structural devices such as air ducts, fans, and condensers, which have a complex structure, occupy internal space, and have the problem of fluff accumulation. After long-term use, the drying effect is poor. In addition, since the heat is indirectly transferred to the clothes through the air in this drying method, it is difficult to control the heating temperature of the clothes during drying. When the temperature is high, the clothes are easily damaged; when the temperature is low, the drying time is long, the drying effect is poor, and the drying efficiency is low.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of the drying device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 which is a schematic structural diagram of the heating component provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the drying device 1 is installed on the cover plate 2 of the washing machine 100, and it includes: multiple groups of heating components 11. The multiple groups of heating components 11 are arranged side by side. Each heating component 11 includes a rotating shaft 12, a plate component, a reflective back plate 13 provided on the rotating shaft 12, and a heating element 14 provided in front of the reflective back plate 13. The plate component includes a first plate member 15 and a second plate member 16. The first plate member 15 and the second plate member 16 are respectively provided at both ends of the reflective back plate 13 and can drive the reflective back plate 13 to rotate so as to change the reflection angle of the reflective back plate 13. Specifically, the first plate member 15 includes a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate, and the second plate member 16 includes a third electrode plate 161 and a fourth electrode plate 162. The first electrode plate and the third electrode plate 161 are installed at both ends of the reflective back plate 13, and the second electrode plate and the fourth electrode plate 162 are fixedly installed on the cover plate 2. More specifically, the heating element 14 is an infrared heating tube. It can be understood that in this embodiment, by controlling the number of heating components 11 turned on, the heating effect can be adjusted and the drying efficiency can be improved; by changing the reflection angle of the reflective back plate 13 and thus changing the irradiation angle, the drying effect can be improved.

[0028] In this embodiment, the multiple groups of heating components 11 can be arranged horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, as long as it is ensured that the multiple groups of heating components 11 can rotate simultaneously; the electric charges on the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate are of the same polarity, for example, both are positive electric charges or negative electric charges; the electric charges on the third electrode plate and the fourth electrode plate are of different polarities. For example, if the electric charge on the third electrode plate is a positive electric charge, then the electric charge on the fourth electrode plate is a negative electric charge, and vice versa, if the electric charge on the third electrode plate is a negative electric charge, then the electric charge on the fourth electrode plate is a positive electric charge. Refer to Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the electric charges on the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate are both positive electric charges, the electric charge on the third electrode plate is a negative electric charge, and the electric charge on the fourth electrode plate is a positive electric charge.

[0029] It should be noted that in this embodiment, by using the principle of the interaction between electric charges, that is, like charges repel each other and opposite charges attract each other, the first plate member 15 and the second plate member 16 can drive the reflective back plate 13 to rotate. In this embodiment, specifically as Figure 2As shown, since the electric charges on the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate are positive electric charges, the electric charge on the third electrode plate is a negative electric charge, and the electric charge on the fourth electrode plate is a positive electric charge, the reflective back plate 13 rotates clockwise. In another embodiment, if the electric charges on the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate are negative electric charges, the electric charge on the third electrode plate is a negative electric charge, and the electric charge on the fourth electrode plate is a positive electric charge, the reflective back plate 13 can also rotate clockwise. In other embodiments, if the electric charges on the third electrode plate and the fourth electrode plate are positive electric charges, the electric charge on the first electrode plate is a negative electric charge, and the electric charge on the second electrode plate is a positive electric charge, the reflective back plate 13 rotates counterclockwise. For the sake of simplicity of description, the polarities of the electric charges on the first electrode plate, the second electrode plate, the third electrode plate, and the fourth electrode plate are not listed one by one. It is only necessary to ensure that the reflective back plate 13 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise. Understandably, by changing the amount of electric charges on the first electrode plate, the second electrode plate, the third electrode plate, and the fourth electrode plate, the magnitude of the mutual force between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, and the third electrode plate and the fourth electrode plate can be adjusted, thereby controlling the magnitude of the rotation angle of the reflective back plate 13. The infrared radiation generated by the infrared heating tube is reflected by the reflective back plate 13 to rotatably heat the clothes to be dried.

[0030] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the heat generated by the infrared heating tube is directly transferred to the clothes to be dried through infrared radiation by using the principle of thermal radiation, so that the temperature of the clothes to be dried is increased, avoiding the indirect heating method of the traditional dryer that first heats the air in the heating air duct and then uses the principle of heat convection of the hot air to increase the temperature of the clothes to be dried. Therefore, the drying efficiency can be improved to a certain extent.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic structural diagram of the washing machine 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 3As shown, the washing machine 100 includes a cover plate 2, a drying device 1 installed on the cover plate 2, an outer tub 3, an inner tub 4, a temperature and humidity detection device 5, and a water collection box 6. Among them, the inner tub 4 is rotatably connected in the outer tub 3 for containing the clothes to be dried; the temperature and humidity detection device 5 is arranged on the inner tub 4 for detecting the temperature and humidity in the inner tub 4; the water collection box 6 is arranged at the bottom of the outer tub 3 for receiving the condensed water formed when the drying device 1 dries the clothes to be dried. Specifically, the temperature and humidity detection device 5 includes a temperature sensor 7 and a humidity sensor. The temperature sensor 7 is used to detect the temperature in the inner tub 4, and the humidity sensor is used to detect the humidity in the inner tub 4. By detecting the temperature in the inner tub 4, it can be ensured whether the clothes to be dried are heated evenly. By detecting the humidity in the inner tub 4, it can be ensured whether the clothes to be dried are dried completely. Understandably, as Figure 3 shown, the washing machine 100 further includes a front panel 9, and the cover plate 2 is rotatably arranged on the front panel 9. Specifically, the cover plate 2 is rotatably installed on the front panel 9 through a rotating shaft 12 and screws. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the drying device 1 emits infrared radiation through the infrared heating tube to heat the clothes to be dried. After the clothes to be dried are heated, the moisture evaporates. The moisture in the clothes to be dried enters the air in the inner tub 4. When the humid air contacts the relatively low-temperature outer tub 3, it condenses and liquefies to form water droplets, which flow down along the wall of the outer tub 3 into the water collection box 6 under the action of gravity.

[0032] Furthermore, the washing machine 100 further includes a voltage regulating device, which is connected to the drying device 1 and is used to regulate the drying of the clothes to be dried by the drying device 1. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the voltage regulating device regulates the voltage magnitudes on the first electrode plate, the second electrode plate, the third electrode plate, and the fourth electrode plate, and then changes the amount of electric charge, so as to regulate the magnitude of the mutual force between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, and between the third electrode plate and the fourth electrode plate, thereby controlling the rotation angle magnitude of the reflective back plate 13 to dry the clothes to be dried.

[0033] Even further, the washing machine 100 further includes a temperature sensor 7, a water inlet pipeline 8, and a water inlet valve connected to the water inlet pipeline 8. Both the temperature sensor 7 and the water inlet pipeline 8 are arranged on the outer tub 3. The temperature sensor 7 is used to detect the temperature on the outer tub 3. When the temperature on the outer tub 3 is relatively high, the washing machine 100 will open the water inlet valve to let the relatively low-temperature tap water flow down along the wall of the outer tub 3 to reduce the temperature of the outer tub 3 and achieve a better condensation effect.

[0034] Please refer toFigure 4 , Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of the washing machine drying control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The following provides a detailed description of the washing machine drying control method. As Figure 4 shown, the method includes the following steps S110 - S130.

[0035] S110. If a drying command is received, control the drying device of the washing machine to turn on to heat the clothes to be dried.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the washing machine receives a drying command, it enters the drying control program, and the control center of the washing machine will control the drying device of the washing machine to turn on to heat the clothes to be dried. Among them, the drying device includes multiple groups of heating components, and each heating component includes a rotating shaft, a plate component, a reflective back plate provided on the rotating shaft, and an infrared heating tube provided in front of the reflective back plate. The plate component includes a first plate member and a second plate member. The first plate member and the second plate member are respectively provided at both ends of the reflective back plate, and the first plate member and the second plate member are used to drive the reflective back plate to rotate. Understandably, the number of the multiple groups of heating components turned on can be selected and set by the user according to the amount of the clothes to be dried. When the amount of the clothes to be dried is small, a smaller number of heating components can be turned on. When the amount of the clothes to be dried is large, a larger number of heating components or all the heating components can be selected to be turned on.

[0037] S120. Detect whether the clothes to be dried are heated evenly.

[0038] In this embodiment, before detecting whether the clothes to be dried are heated evenly, the first temperature inside the inner drum of the washing machine will be obtained, and it will be judged whether the first temperature inside the inner drum is greater than a preset temperature threshold inside the drum. Assume that the first temperature inside the inner drum is T 内1 , and the preset temperature threshold inside the drum is T 内0 . If the first temperature inside the inner drum is greater than the preset temperature threshold inside the drum, that is, when T 内1 >T 内0 , it indicates that the drying device has been turned on for a certain period of time and the clothes to be dried have been dried to a certain extent, then detect whether the clothes to be dried are heated evenly.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as this embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, step S120 may include steps S121 - S125.

[0040] S121. Obtain the second temperature inside the inner drum;

[0041] S122. After a preset time, obtain the third temperature inside the inner drum;

[0042] S123. Calculate the absolute value of the temperature difference between the temperature in the second cylinder and the temperature in the third cylinder.

[0043] S124. If the absolute value is less than the preset temperature difference, it is determined that the clothes to be dried are heated evenly.

[0044] S125. If the absolute value is not less than the preset temperature difference, it is determined that the clothes to be dried are heated unevenly.

[0045] In this embodiment, the control center of the washing machine obtains the temperature in the second cylinder of the inner drum; after a preset time, it obtains the temperature in the third cylinder of the inner drum, where the preset time can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here; assume that the temperatures in the second cylinder and the third cylinder are T 内2 and T 内3 , the preset temperature difference is T 差 , calculate the absolute value of the temperature difference between the temperature in the second cylinder and the temperature in the third cylinder; if |T 内2 -T 内3 |<T 差 , it indicates that the inner drum is heated evenly, and it is determined that the clothes to be dried are heated evenly; if |T 内2 -T 内3 |≥T 差 , it indicates that the inner drum is heated unevenly, and it is determined that the clothes to be dried are heated unevenly.

[0046] S130. If the clothes to be dried are heated unevenly, control the inner drum of the washing machine to rotate and control the drying device to enter the motion mode.

[0047] In this embodiment, it is detected whether the laundry to be dried is heated evenly. If the laundry to be dried is heated evenly, the reflective back plate in the drying device is kept stationary, and the humidity inside the inner drum of the washing machine is obtained. It is judged whether the humidity inside the drum is less than a preset humidity threshold. If the humidity inside the drum is assumed to be H1 and the preset humidity threshold is H0, and if H1 < H0, it indicates that the laundry to be dried is already dry, then the drying device is controlled to turn off to stop heating the laundry to be dried; on the contrary, if H1 ≥ H0, it indicates that the laundry to be dried is not yet dry, then infrared heating is carried out until H1 < H0 and the laundry to be dried is dry. Understandably, if the laundry to be dried is heated unevenly, the inner drum of the washing machine is controlled to rotate and the drying device is controlled to enter the motion mode. Specifically, the inner drum of the washing machine is controlled to rotate at a preset speed; the voltage regulating device of the washing machine is controlled to adjust the amount of electric charge on the first plate member and the second plate member in the drying device, so that the reflective back plate in the drying device rotates up and down, where the amount of electric charge includes positive electric charge and negative electric charge, and further makes the rotation angle of the reflective back plate change periodically. Understandably, the voltage regulating device adjusts the rotation angle of the reflective back plate by adjusting the amount of electric charge on the first plate member and the second plate member. In actual use, the rotation angle is generally between 30° and 40°.

[0048] Further, after the control center of the washing machine controls the drying device to enter the motion mode, if it is detected that the laundry to be dried is heated evenly, the inner drum and the reflective back plate are controlled to stop rotating, that is, the angle of the reflective back plate is kept unchanged, and the step of obtaining the humidity inside the inner drum of the washing machine is executed to perform drying judgment on the laundry to be dried. The specific process of drying judgment is as described above and will not be elaborated here. It should be noted that in this embodiment, after the laundry to be dried is heated evenly, the inner drum is stopped from rotating in order to prevent the entanglement and wear of the laundry to be dried and restore the feel of natural drying to the greatest extent.

[0049] Furthermore, during the drying process of the laundry to be dried, the humidity sensor installed on the outer drum will continuously obtain the temperature outside the outer drum and judge whether the temperature outside the drum is greater than a preset temperature threshold outside the drum. If the temperature outside the drum is greater than the preset temperature threshold outside the drum, it indicates that the temperature of the outer drum is too high, then the water inlet valve of the washing machine is controlled to open, so that water flows into the outer wall of the outer drum through the water inlet pipeline of the washing machine to reduce the temperature of the outer drum; understandably, if the temperature outside the drum is not greater than the preset temperature threshold outside the drum, it indicates that the temperature of the outer drum is not yet high, then there is no need to open the water inlet valve.

[0050] For the convenience of understanding, Figure 6It is a flow diagram of the washing machine drying control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 6 shown, receive a drying instruction, turn on the drying device, heat the clothes to be dried, and obtain the temperature T inside the inner drum 内1 . If T 内1 ≤T 内0 , it indicates that the temperature in the inner drum is not high, so continue to heat the clothes to be dried; if T 内1 >T 内0 , then detect whether the clothes to be dried are heated evenly. Specifically, obtain the temperature T inside the inner drum 内2 , and obtain the temperature T inside the inner drum after a preset time 内3 . Judge whether |T 内2 -T 内3 | is less than T 差 . If |T 内2 -T 内3 |<T 差 , it indicates that the clothes to be dried are evenly heated, then perform a dryness judgment process. Specifically, obtain the humidity H1 inside the inner drum, and judge whether the humidity H1 inside the drum is less than a preset humidity threshold H0. If H1 < H0, it indicates that the clothes to be dried are dried, control the drying device to turn off, and the drying process is completed; it is understandable that if |T 内2 -T 内3 |≥T 差 , it indicates that the clothes to be dried are not evenly heated, then control the drying device to enter the motion mode and control the inner drum to rotate until the clothes to be dried are evenly heated, and then enter the dryness judgment process for dryness judgment.
