Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of clothing processing equipment, and in particular to a clothing processing equipment and a drying control method. Background Art

[0002] As people's demand for smart clothes processing equipment becomes increasingly higher, clothes processing equipment with a drying function is widely used. Users only need to select the drying function on the clothes processing equipment, and the clothes processing equipment can intelligently dry the clothes.

[0003] During the aforementioned drying process, the clothing treatment device typically performs the drying process based on user-set operating parameters or pre-set parameters. These parameters may include wind speed, drying time, and drying temperature. However, since these fixed parameters are used throughout the drying process, this can lead to inappropriate drying of the clothing. For example, a drying time that is too long can result in overdrying the clothing, wasting electricity; or a drying time that is too short can result in overly damp clothing, resulting in poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide a clothing processing device and a drying control method to at least solve the problem of unreasonable clothing drying degree in the related art.

[0005] In a first aspect, a clothing processing device is provided, comprising: a controller, an inner drum connected to the controller, a motor, a first temperature detection device, a water inlet valve, a drying heating pipe and a fan; the water inlet valve and the first temperature detection device are installed on a water inlet channel, and the water inlet channel is connected to the inner drum; the inner drum is used to accommodate target clothing; the motor is used to drive the inner drum to rotate; the first temperature detection device is used to detect the water temperature in the water inlet channel; the water inlet valve is used to continuously open the water inlet valve for a first time period and continuously close the water inlet valve for a second time period according to a control sequence during the drying process of the clothing processing device, so as to continuously inject water into the water inlet channel for a first time period and stop injecting water into the water inlet channel for a second time period; the drying heating pipe is used to heat The interior of the inner drum cavity; the fan is used to provide wind energy to the cavity of the inner drum; the controller is configured to execute: starting the drying function of the clothing processing device; detecting the initial weight of the target clothing, and controlling the first temperature detection device to detect the target water inlet temperature of the water inlet valve; determining the target operating parameters corresponding to the target water inlet temperature and the initial weight according to the correspondence between the water temperature in the water inlet channel and the weight of the target clothing and the operating parameters; the target operating parameters include one or more of the following: the target heating time of the drying heating tube, the first target speed of the motor, the second target speed of the fan and the target timing of the water inlet valve; controlling the clothing processing device to dry the target clothing according to the target operating parameters.

[0006] The inlet water temperature in the water inlet channel is positively correlated with the water inlet volume of the water inlet valve in the operating parameters.

[0007] Correspondingly, the water temperature and amount of water flowing into the water inlet channel through the water inlet valve will directly affect the drying speed. When other operating parameters remain constant, the higher the water temperature, the more water is needed to cool or condense the hot and humid air generated during the drying process to produce condensed water to ensure condensation efficiency. However, the amount of water injected into the water inlet channel is determined by the control timing of the water inlet valve. Therefore, the higher the water temperature, the greater the ratio of the first time duration to the second time duration in its control timing. The more water intake mentioned above, the faster the drying speed can be, but the more power consumption required.

[0008] The weight of the target clothing is positively correlated with the operating parameters.

[0009] Correspondingly, firstly, the heavier the target laundry, the faster the drying heating tube needs to provide heat energy to ensure the target laundry is heated quickly. That is, the heavier the target laundry, the greater the difference between the first target temperature threshold for starting heating and the second target temperature threshold for stopping heating of the drying heating tube. For example, the first target temperature threshold is set smaller and / or the second target temperature threshold is set larger.

[0010] Secondly, the heavier the target clothes are, the greater the first target speed of the motor is, so that the target clothes rotate faster, prompting the target to be in more complete contact with the hot air in the inner drum cavity to ensure the drying speed.

[0011] Third, the heavier the target clothes are, the greater the second target speed of the fan is, so that the target clothes can exchange heat with the hot air in the inner drum cavity faster to ensure the drying speed.

[0012] Fourthly, the heavier the target clothes are, the greater the water intake of the water inlet valve (i.e., the greater the ratio of the first time length to the second time length), the more humid hot air can be condensed, and the faster the condensed water is generated to ensure the drying speed.

[0013] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application brings at least the following beneficial effects: the clothing processing device takes into account the influence of the water temperature in the water inlet channel and the weight of the target clothing on the drying speed, and can flexibly determine the target operating parameters that are simultaneously adapted to the target water temperature and the initial weight of the target clothing based on the corresponding relationship between the water temperature in the water inlet channel and the weight of the target clothing and the operating parameters, so as to ensure that the clothing processing device can perform drying processing according to reasonable target operation, thereby ensuring that the drying process is more reasonable. The clothing processing device avoids the problem of setting the target operating parameters too high, consuming too many resources, and having high user costs. For example, if the water inlet temperature is very low and the water inflow is too large, it will consume too much water and electricity resources; and avoids the problem of setting the target operating parameters too low, which will result in too slow drying speed and poor user experience.

[0014] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus further comprises a water heating pipe, which is used to heat the water in the water inlet channel when the laundry processing apparatus performs a washing function; and the first temperature detection device is disposed on the water heating pipe.

[0015] This embodiment implements the placement of the first temperature detection device for a laundry treatment device with a washing function that uses hot water to wash target laundry. In this scenario, to ensure more adequate heating of the water heating pipe, the water heating pipe must be positioned so that it can fully contact the water in the water inlet valve. Furthermore, to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results from the first temperature detection device, it must also be in full contact with the water in the water inlet valve. Therefore, the first temperature detection device is installed on the water heating pipe to ensure more accurate detection of the water temperature in the water inlet channel.

[0016] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device also includes a second temperature detection device for detecting the temperature inside the inner drum; the controller is also configured to: when the temperature inside the drum is less than or equal to the first target temperature threshold, start the drying heating pipe to heat the inside of the cavity of the inner drum to determine the start time of heating for the target heating time; when the temperature inside the drum is greater than or equal to the second target temperature threshold, control the drying heating pipe to stop heating to determine the end time of heating for the target heating time; the first target temperature threshold is less than the second target temperature threshold.

[0017] The above-mentioned target heating time can be understood as the target heating time, and the target heating time is the time difference between the heating end time and the heating start time.

[0018] This embodiment is a dynamic method for determining the target heating time of the drying heating tube. The controller uses the first target temperature threshold as the trigger temperature for starting the heating of the drying heating tube and the second target temperature threshold as the stop temperature for stopping the heating of the drying heating tube, so as to flexibly determine the target heating time according to the temperature changes. This implementation method for determining the target heating time is not limited to the influence of a single factor (such as the influence of the weight of the target clothing on the target heating time), but can be based on the influence of comprehensive factors such as the weight, moisture content, and heat exchange efficiency of the target clothing, so as to make the determined target heating time more reasonable and more accurate.

[0019] In some embodiments, a first temperature detection device is arranged at the bottom of the water inlet channel, and the controller is further configured to execute: during the drying process of the target clothes by the clothing processing equipment, according to the preset cycle, the first temperature detection device is controlled to detect the condensed water temperature of the condensed water in the water inlet channel; when it is detected that the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, the target operating parameters are updated; the temperature difference is the temperature difference between the condensed water temperature and the inlet water temperature, the preset cycle and the target operating parameter correspond one-to-one, and the target operating parameter corresponding to the current preset cycle is greater than or equal to the target operating parameter corresponding to the previous preset cycle of the current preset cycle; until it is detected that the temperature difference between the condensed water temperature and the inlet water temperature is less than the temperature difference threshold, the drying process of the target clothes is stopped.

[0020] In this embodiment, if the temperature difference between the condensed water temperature and the inlet water temperature is greater than the temperature difference threshold within a target number of preset cycles, it indicates that a higher target operating parameter is required to dry the humid air more quickly. The target number of preset cycles refers to the total number of preset cycles in which a temperature difference greater than the temperature difference threshold is detected. Therefore, within the target number of preset cycles, the target operating parameter is increased according to the preset cycle within the allowable range of the operating parameter.

[0021] Through this embodiment, the target operating parameters are adjusted according to the temperature difference between the condensed water temperature and the inlet water temperature during the drying process, so that the target operating parameters during the drying process can be consistent with the drying efficiency requirements for humid air during the drying process stage, thereby ensuring the drying speed of the clothing processing equipment.

[0022] In some embodiments, when the controller executes updating the target operating parameters when it detects that the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, it is specifically configured as follows: when the temperature difference of the current preset cycle is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, the target preset weight of the current preset cycle is determined; wherein, the difference between the target preset weight of the current preset cycle and the target preset weight corresponding to the previous preset cycle of the current preset cycle is the preset weight threshold; according to the correspondence between the inlet water temperature in the water inlet channel and the weight of the target clothing and the operating parameters, the operating parameters corresponding to the target water inlet temperature and the target preset weight of the current preset cycle are determined as the updated target operating parameters of the current cycle.

[0023] It should be noted that the current preset period and the previous preset period both belong to the preset periods in the target preset periods, and the current preset period and the previous preset period are relative to the sampling moments corresponding to the preset periods.

[0024] In this embodiment, by adjusting the target preset weight corresponding to each preset cycle in the target preset cycles, the target operating parameters of each preset cycle in the target preset cycles are adjusted accordingly according to the corresponding relationship between the inlet water temperature and the weight of the target clothing and the operating parameters, wherein the target preset weight represents the weight of the target clothing.

[0025] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to: stop updating the target operating parameters when the updated target operating parameters are greater than or equal to the operating parameter threshold of the inlet water temperature, and the temperature difference is detected to be greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, and to dry the target clothes according to the operating parameter threshold; stop drying the target clothes until it is detected that the temperature difference between the condensation water temperature and the inlet water temperature is less than the temperature difference threshold.

[0026] This embodiment is for target preset cycles. In a certain preset cycle, if the updated or adjusted target operating parameter is greater than or equal to the operating parameter threshold of the inlet water temperature, then starting from the preset cycle, the drying function will continue to be executed with the operating parameter threshold as the target operating parameter, and the temperature difference will continue to be detected according to the preset cycle until it is detected that the temperature difference between the condensation water temperature and the inlet water temperature is less than the temperature difference threshold, and then the drying function will be stopped.

[0027] Through this embodiment, the updated target operating parameters are within the allowable range of the operating parameters, thereby ensuring the rationality and heat exchange accuracy of the target operating parameters corresponding to each preset cycle.

[0028] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device includes a water level detection device, which is used to detect the water level height of water in the water inlet channel; before executing the drying function of the clothing processing device, the controller is also configured to perform: when the water level height is greater than or equal to the height threshold, perform drainage processing to drain the water in the water inlet channel.

[0029] Based on this, before the drying function is started, the water remaining in the water inlet channel during the washing process is drained out, so that the water inlet control process of the drying process is more reasonable, thereby ensuring the reliability of the drying process.

[0030] In some embodiments, before the controller executes the detection of the initial weight of the target clothing, it is further configured to execute: when the water content of the target clothing is greater than or equal to the water content threshold, dehydrating the target clothing to make the water content of the target clothing less than the water content threshold.

[0031] Based on this, the impact of excessive humidity on the drying degree of the target clothes is taken into consideration. For example, if the target clothes are completely wet, directly drying the wet clothes will result in the drying time being too long or not drying at all. In this case, the target clothes will be dehydrated first and then the drying function will be started to ensure drying efficiency.

[0032] In a second aspect, a drying control method for a clothing processing device is provided, which includes: starting a drying function of the clothing processing device; detecting the initial weight of the target clothing, and controlling a first temperature detection device to detect a target water inlet temperature of the water inlet valve; determining target operating parameters corresponding to the target water inlet temperature and the initial weight based on the correspondence between the inlet water temperature in the water inlet channel and the weight of the target clothing and the operating parameters; the target operating parameters include one or more of the following: a target heating time of the drying heating tube, a first target speed of the motor, a second target speed of the fan, and a target timing for water injection by the water inlet valve, the target timing corresponding to the target water inlet volume; controlling the clothing processing device to dry the target clothing according to the target operating parameters.

[0033] In some embodiments, the drying control method also includes: during the drying process of the target clothes by the clothing processing equipment, according to the preset cycle, controlling the first temperature detection device to detect the condensed water temperature of the condensed water in the water inlet channel; when it is detected that the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, updating the target operating parameters; the temperature difference is the temperature difference between the condensed water temperature and the inlet water temperature, the preset cycle and the target operating parameter correspond one-to-one, and the target operating parameter corresponding to the current preset cycle is greater than or equal to the target operating parameter corresponding to the previous preset cycle of the current preset cycle; until it is detected that the temperature difference between the condensed water temperature and the inlet water temperature is less than the temperature difference threshold, the drying process of the target clothes is stopped.

[0034] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores instructions. When the instructions are executed on any of the above-mentioned devices, the device executes any of the above-mentioned drying control methods for clothing processing equipment.

[0035] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a chip comprising: a processor and a memory; the memory is used to store computer execution instructions, and the processor is connected to the memory. When the chip is running, the processor executes the computer execution instructions stored in the memory so that the chip executes any one of the above-mentioned drying control methods for clothing processing equipment.

[0036] In a fifth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer program product comprising instructions, which, when run on any of the above-mentioned devices, enables the device to execute the drying control method of any of the above-mentioned clothing processing devices.

[0037] In the embodiments of this application, the names of the components of the above-mentioned apparatus do not limit the apparatus itself. In actual implementation, these components may appear with other names. As long as the functions of the components are similar to those in the embodiments of this application, they are within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents.

[0049] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. Throughout this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0051] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, when describing pipelines, the terms "connected" and "connected" used in this application have the meaning of conducting electricity. The specific meanings need to be understood in the context.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be interpreted as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0053] As people's demand for smart clothes processing equipment becomes increasingly higher, clothes processing equipment with a drying function is widely used. Users only need to select the drying function on the clothes processing equipment, and the clothes processing equipment can intelligently dry the clothes.

[0054] During the aforementioned drying process, the clothing treatment device typically performs the drying process based on user-set operating parameters or pre-set parameters. These parameters may include wind speed, drying time, and drying temperature. However, since these fixed parameters are used throughout the drying process, this can lead to inappropriate drying of the clothing. For example, a drying time that is too long can result in overdrying the clothing, wasting electricity; or a drying time that is too short can result in overly damp clothing, resulting in poor user experience.

[0055] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a clothing processing device, which takes into account the influence of the inlet water temperature in the water inlet channel and the weight of the target clothing on the drying speed. It can flexibly determine the target operating parameters that are simultaneously adapted to the target inlet water temperature and the initial weight of the target clothing based on the correspondence between the inlet water temperature in the water inlet channel and the weight of the target clothing and the operating parameters, so as to ensure that the clothing processing device can perform drying processing according to reasonable target operation, thereby ensuring that the drying processing process is more reasonable.

[0056] Through this embodiment, the clothing processing device avoids the problem of setting the target operating parameters too large, consuming too many resources, and having high user costs. For example, when the inlet water temperature is very low, if the inlet water volume is too large, too much water and electricity resources will be consumed; and avoids the problem of setting the target operating parameters too small, resulting in too slow drying speed and poor user experience.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, the laundry processing device may be a drum laundry processing device with a drying function, i.e., a drum washing machine, a pulsator laundry processing device with a drying function, i.e., a pulsator laundry washing machine, etc. To further describe the solution of the present application, the mechanical structure of a laundry processing device provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described below using a drum laundry processing device as an example.

[0058] refer to Figure 1 The clothing processing device 10 may include one or more of the following: a shell 101, a door body 102, a drum assembly 103, a motor 104, a water inlet valve 105, a drain valve 106, a display 107, a controller 108, a fan 109, a drying and heating pipe 110, a first temperature detection device 111 and a second temperature detection device 112.

[0059] In some embodiments, the motor 104 is used to drive the inner drum to rotate. The first temperature detection device 111 is provided at the bottom of the water inlet channel of the clothing processing device; and is used to detect the water temperature in the water inlet channel. The water inlet valve 105 is used to, during the drying process of the clothing processing device, continuously open the water inlet valve for a first period of time and continuously close the water inlet valve for a second period of time according to a control sequence, so as to continuously inject water into the water inlet channel for the first period of time and stop injecting water into the water inlet channel for the second period of time. The drying heating pipe 110 is used to heat the inside of the cavity of the inner drum. The fan 109 is used to provide wind energy to the cavity of the inner drum. The second temperature detection device 112 is used to detect the temperature inside the inner drum.

[0060] In some embodiments, a water level detection device (not shown) is further included to detect the water level of the water in the water inlet channel. Specifically, when the water level is greater than or equal to a height threshold, a drainage process is performed to drain the water in the water inlet channel.

[0061] In some embodiments, the housing 101 may form the overall appearance of the laundry processing device 10 and seal the contact passage between the interior and exterior of the laundry processing device 10 to avoid damage to electrical components. In the embodiment provided herein, the housing 101 is generally in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0062] In some embodiments, the door 102 can be rotatably mounted on the housing 101, and the laundry inside the laundry processing apparatus 10 can be taken in and out by opening and closing the door 102. Specifically, the door 102 can be rotatably connected to the housing 101 via a door shaft.

[0063] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 10 further includes a water heating pipe 117 , and the first temperature detecting device 111 is disposed on the water heating pipe 117 .

[0064] Optionally, the door body 102 may be made of a transparent material to facilitate the user to observe the status of the clothes when the clothes processing device 10 is working.

[0065] In some embodiments, the drum assembly 103 is disposed inside the housing 101 and is used to implement functions of the clothing processing device such as washing or drying clothing.

[0066] In some embodiments, the drum assembly 103 may include an inner drum 1031 and an outer drum 1032. The inner drum 1031 is used to hold the target laundry and includes a dehydration hole. The outer drum 1032 is used to store wash water. When the drain valve 106 is closed, the wash water can be temporarily stored in the outer drum 1032 because it does not have any other drainage outlets.

[0067] In some embodiments, a certain gap is left between the inner drum 1031 and the outer drum 1032. For example, when the laundry processing device is performing a spin cycle, the laundry remains in the inner drum 1031, and the motor 104 is controlled to drive the drum assembly 103 to rotate at a target spin speed to spin the laundry. During this process, water is discharged from the spin hole, flows through the gap between the inner drum 1031 and the outer drum 1032, and flows into the drainage pipe, thereby achieving the purpose of spinning or drying the laundry.

[0068] In some embodiments, the motor 104 is used to drive the drum assembly 103 to rotate, so that the rotating drum assembly 103 drives the clothes and washing water in the drum assembly 103 to rotate, providing power support for the clothes processing device 10 to run the washing program.

[0069] In some embodiments, the water inlet valve 105 can be used to control the flow of water into the drum assembly 103. For example, when the water inlet valve 105 receives a water inlet command from the controller 108, the water inlet valve 105 opens to allow water to flow into the drum assembly 103 of the laundry processing device 10, thereby allowing the laundry processing device 10 to perform subsequent programs such as a washing program and a dehydration program.

[0070] In some embodiments, the drain valve 106 is used to receive a drain command from the controller 108 when the washing process is completed and drainage is required. The drain valve 106 opens to allow the washing waste water to be discharged smoothly.

[0071] In some embodiments, the display 107 may be a liquid crystal display or an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. The specific type, size, and resolution of the display 107 are not limited. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the performance and configuration of the display 107 may be modified as needed.

[0072] In some embodiments, the display 107 may be used to display a control panel or other image information of the laundry processing device 10. For example, the laundry processing device 10 may display the current operation information of the laundry processing device through the display 107, such as the type of laundry program, the running time and the remaining running time of the laundry program, the amount of washing water, etc.

[0073] In some embodiments, the controller 108 is a device that can generate an operation control signal based on an instruction opcode and a timing signal to instruct the laundry processing device 10 to execute the control instruction. For example, the controller 108 can be a central processing unit (CPU), a general-purpose processor, a network processor (NP), a digital signal processor (DSP), a programmable logic device (PLD), a microprocessor, a microcontroller, or any combination thereof. The controller can also be other devices with processing functions, such as circuits, devices, or software modules, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on this.

[0074] Exemplarily, the controller 108 can start the drying function of the clothing processing equipment; detect the initial weight of the target clothing, and control the first temperature detection device to detect the target water inlet temperature of the water inlet valve; determine the target operating parameters corresponding to the target water inlet temperature and the initial weight based on the correspondence between the inlet water temperature in the water inlet channel and the weight of the target clothing and the operating parameters; and control the clothing processing equipment to dry the target clothing according to the target operating parameters.

[0075] Figure 2 The circuit system architecture diagram of the clothes treating device 10 is shown as an example.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, the clothing processing device 10 may further include: an alarm 114 , a communication device 115 , a human-computer interaction device 116 and a power supply 113 .

[0077] Among them, the motor 104, the water inlet valve 105, the drain valve 106, the display 107, the early warning device 114, the fan 109, the drying heating pipe 110, the first temperature detection device 111 and the second temperature detection device 112, the water heating pipe 117, the communication device 115, the human-computer interaction device 116 and the power supply 113 are all connected to the controller 108.

[0078] In some embodiments, the alarm device 114 is used to send corresponding prompt information when starting or stopping the drying operation program to remind the user of the stage of the drying process.

[0079] In some embodiments, the communication device 115 is a component used to communicate with external devices or external servers according to various communication protocols. For example, the communication device may include at least one of a Wi-Fi chip, a Bluetooth communication protocol chip, a wired Ethernet communication protocol chip, or other network communication protocol chip or a near-field communication protocol chip, as well as an infrared receiver.

[0080] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device 10 can transmit control signals and data signals to a terminal device used by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable mobile device, etc.), other household appliances (e.g., an air conditioner, a monitoring device, etc.), or a server through the communication device 115. For example, a user issues an instruction to turn on the quiet mode through a mobile phone, and the clothing processing device 10 receives the instruction through the communication device 115. In response to the user's instruction to turn on the quiet mode, the controller 108 of the clothing processing device 10 turns on the quiet mode.

[0081] In some embodiments, a human-computer interaction device 116 is used to enable interaction between a user and the laundry processing device 10. The human-computer interaction device 116 may include one or more of physical buttons, a touch display panel, or a voice recognition device. For example, a user can use the human-computer interaction device 116 to start the laundry processing device 10 or set a washing program for the laundry processing device 10.

[0082] In some embodiments, the power supply 113 , under the control of the controller 108 , uses the power input from an external power source to provide power supply support to the laundry processing device 10 .

[0083] Based on the above-mentioned clothes processing equipment, such as Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a drying control method for a clothes processing device, the method comprising the following steps:

[0084] Step S301: Start the drying function of the clothes processing device.

[0085] For the convenience of description, target laundry is hereinafter referred to as laundry.

[0086] The above-mentioned method of starting the drying function can be implemented by starting an operation signal. The operation signal can be a signal input by the user to enable the drying program. For example, when the user only needs to dry the clothes separately, the user will put the clothes into the drum assembly and select the confirmation button of the "drying control" on the clothing processing device, which will generate an operation signal for the drying process. The above-mentioned operation signal can also be a signal generated when the drying program is triggered when preparing to enter the drying program during the execution of various functional programs of the laundry. For example, when preparing to enter the drying program after executing the laundry program, a signal is generated when the drying program is triggered. Therefore, this application does not specifically limit the method of starting the drying function.

[0087] Step S302 , detecting the initial weight of the target laundry, and controlling the first temperature detecting device to detect the target water inlet temperature of the water inlet valve.

[0088] Step S303 , determining target operating parameters corresponding to the target water inlet temperature and the initial weight according to the corresponding relationship between the water temperature in the water inlet channel and the weight of the target clothes and the operating parameters.

[0089] The target operating parameters include one or more of the following: a target heating time for the drying heating tube, a first target speed for the motor, a second target speed for the fan, and a target timing for the water inlet valve; the target timing corresponds to a target water inlet volume; the first target temperature threshold is less than the second target temperature threshold. The control timing represents a first duration of continuous water injection into the water inlet channel and a second duration of cessation of water injection into the water inlet channel; the target timing includes the first target duration and the second target duration.

[0090] It should be understood that different water inlet temperatures and different initial weights correspond to different operating parameters.

[0091] The inlet water temperature in the water inlet channel is positively correlated with the water inlet volume of the water inlet valve in the operating parameters.

[0092] Correspondingly, the water temperature and amount of water flowing into the water inlet channel through the water inlet valve will directly affect the drying speed. When other operating parameters remain constant, the higher the water temperature, the more water is needed to cool or condense the hot and humid air generated during the drying process to produce condensed water to ensure condensation efficiency. However, the amount of water injected into the water inlet channel is determined by the control timing of the water inlet valve. Therefore, the higher the water temperature, the greater the ratio of the first time duration to the second time duration in its control timing. The more water intake mentioned above, the faster the drying speed can be, but the more power consumption required.

[0093] The weight of the target clothing is positively correlated with the operating parameters.

[0094] Correspondingly, firstly, the heavier the target laundry, the faster the drying heating tube needs to provide heat energy to ensure the target laundry is heated quickly. That is, the heavier the target laundry, the greater the difference between the first target temperature threshold for starting heating and the second target temperature threshold for stopping heating of the drying heating tube. For example, the first target temperature threshold is set smaller and / or the second target temperature threshold is set larger.

[0095] Secondly, the heavier the target clothes are, the greater the first target speed of the motor is, so that the target clothes rotate faster, prompting the target to be in more complete contact with the hot air in the inner drum cavity to ensure the drying speed.

[0096] Third, the heavier the target clothes are, the greater the second target speed of the fan is, so that the target clothes can exchange heat with the hot air in the inner drum cavity faster to ensure the drying speed.

[0097] Fourthly, the heavier the target clothes are, the greater the water intake of the water inlet valve (i.e., the greater the ratio of the first time length to the second time length), the more humid hot air can be condensed, and the faster the condensed water is generated to ensure the drying speed.

[0098] It should be noted that, in the above correspondence, the weight of the target clothes can be understood as the weight of the target clothes in the inner drum at the beginning of the drying stage.

[0099] Optionally, the laundry processing device may be pre-set with a correspondence between the water temperature in the water inlet channel and the weight of the target laundry and the operating parameters. The controller determines the target operating parameters corresponding to the target water temperature and initial weight of the target laundry based on the correspondence.

[0100] Optionally, the laundry processing device may also store a prediction model, which is trained to obtain real-time correlations between the water temperature in the water inlet channel, the target laundry weight, and operating parameters. The prediction model is trained using historical operating parameters, historical water inlet temperatures, historical target laundry weights, and the correlations between historical water inlet temperatures, historical target laundry weights, and operating parameters as training data. The target water inlet temperature and initial weight are input into the preset model to obtain the correlations between the target water inlet temperature and initial weight and the operating parameters.

[0101] For example, the correspondence between the inlet water temperature and target clothing weight and the operating parameters is shown in Table 1. In Table 1, the initial weight of the target clothing is represented by W, the motor speed (i.e., the first target speed) is represented by N, the fan speed (i.e., the second target speed) is represented by M, the target inlet water temperature is represented by T, and the target timings B and C of the water inlet valve, where the control timings represent the amount of water inflow corresponding to the first duration of continuous water injection into the water inlet channel and the second duration of cessation of water injection into the water inlet channel, are included. The target timings include the first target duration B and the second target duration C.

[0102] Table 1

[0103]

[0104]

[0105] Specifically, in Table 1 above, W0 and W1 are weight parameters of the set initial weights; N1, N2, and N3 are speed parameters of the set motor; Ton1, Ton2, and Ton3 are temperature parameters for setting the drying heating tube to be powered on and turned on, and Toff1, Toff2, and Toff3 are temperature parameters for setting the drying heating tube to be powered off and turned off; M1, M2, and M3 are speed parameters of the set fan; T0 and T1 are water temperature parameters for setting the water inlet valve to let water in; B1, B2, and B3 are time parameters for setting the water inlet valve to be powered on and turned on, and C1, C2, and C3 are time parameters for setting the water inlet valve to be powered off and turned off. Correspondingly, the numerical relationships of the above parameters are N1 < N2 < N3; M1 < M2 < M3; B1 / C1 < B2 / C2 < B3 / C3; Ton3 < Ton2 < Ton1; Toff1 < Toff2 < Toff3.

[0106] Furthermore, when the target inlet water temperature T < T0, the first target duration B in the target time sequence is B1 and the second target duration C is C1. When the target inlet water temperature T is greater than or equal to T0 and the target inlet water temperature T is less than T1, that is, T0 ≤ T < T1, the first target duration B in the target time sequence is B2 and the second target duration C is C2. When the target inlet water temperature T ≥ T1, the first target duration B in the target time sequence is B3 and the second target duration C is C3. When the initial weight W of the target clothes < W0, the speed N of the motor is N1, the first target temperature threshold Ton for the drying heating tube to start heating is Ton1, the second target temperature threshold Toff for stopping heating is Toff1, and the speed M of the fan is M1. When the initial weight W of the target clothes is greater than or equal to W0 and less than W1, that is, W0 ≤ W < W1, the speed N of the motor is N2, the first target temperature threshold Ton for the drying heating tube to start heating is Ton2, the second target temperature threshold Toff for stopping heating is Toff2, and the speed M of the fan is M2. When the initial weight W of the target clothes ≥ W1, the speed N of the motor is N3, the first target temperature threshold Ton for the drying heating tube to start heating is Ton3, the second target temperature threshold Toff for stopping heating is Toff3, and the speed M of the fan is M3.

[0107] It should be noted that the division of the inlet water temperature into three temperature ranges in Table 1 above is only an example, and the division of the initial weight into three mass ranges is also only an example. The number of ranges corresponding to the inlet water temperature and the initial mass in this application is not specifically limited.

[0108] It should be noted that the above inlet water temperature is determined by the first temperature detection device, that is, the first temperature sensor.

[0109] Exemplarily, the temperature detection device on the water heating pipe is used as the first temperature detection device. The laundry processing device includes a water heating pipe, which is used to heat water in the water inlet channel when performing a washing function. The first temperature detection device is provided on the water heating pipe.

[0110] In detail, the clothes processing device with high-temperature washing function is provided with a water heating pipe, and the water heating pipe is usually provided with a temperature detection device, and the temperature detection device can be used as the first temperature detection device.

[0111] This example illustrates an implementation for positioning the first temperature detection device in a scenario where a laundry treatment device has a washing function that uses hot water to wash target laundry. In this scenario, to ensure that the water heating pipe is heated more fully, the water heating pipe needs to be positioned so that it can fully contact the water in the water inlet valve. Furthermore, to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results from the first temperature detection device, the first temperature detection device must also be in full contact with the water in the water inlet valve. Therefore, the first temperature detection device is installed on the water heating pipe to ensure that it can more accurately detect the water temperature in the water inlet channel.

[0112] Step S304: Control the clothes processing device to dry the target clothes according to the target operating parameters.

[0113] After the controller determines the target operating parameters, the process of controlling the laundry processing setting to dry the target laundry according to the target operating parameters includes the following processing steps: (1) controlling the drying heating pipe to heat the target laundry according to the target heating time. (2) controlling the motor to rotate the target laundry according to the first target speed. (3) controlling the fan to rotate according to the second target speed, so that the wind at the speed drives the air in the drum assembly to circulate. (4) controlling the water inlet valve to control the water to be injected into the water inlet channel according to the target timing.

[0114] Figure 3 The technical solution shown brings at least the following beneficial effects: the clothing processing device considers the influence of the water temperature in the water inlet channel and the weight of the target clothing on the drying speed. Based on the corresponding relationship between the water temperature in the water inlet channel, the weight of the target clothing, and the operating parameters, it can flexibly determine target operating parameters that are simultaneously adapted to the target water temperature and the initial weight of the target clothing, thereby ensuring that the clothing processing device can perform drying according to reasonable target operation, thereby ensuring a more reasonable drying process. The clothing processing device avoids the problems of excessively large target operating parameters, excessive resource consumption, and high user costs. For example, if the water temperature is very low and the water intake is excessive, excessive water and electricity resources will be consumed. It also avoids the problems of excessively small target operating parameters, which can lead to slow drying speeds and poor user experience.

[0115] As an embodiment, the controller of the clothes processing device can determine the target heating time of the drying heating pipe according to the first target temperature threshold for starting heating and the second target temperature threshold for stopping heating. Figure 4 As shown, determining the target heating time of the drying heating tube in step S303 can be specifically implemented as follows:

[0116] Step S401: When the temperature inside the drum is less than or equal to a first target temperature threshold, the drying heating tube is started to heat the interior of the inner drum to determine a heating start time for a target heating time.

[0117] Step S402: When the temperature in the drum is greater than or equal to the second target temperature threshold, the drying heating tube is controlled to stop heating to determine the heating end time of the target heating time.

[0118] The first target temperature threshold is lower than the second target temperature threshold.

[0119] The above-mentioned target heating time can be understood as the target heating time, and the target heating time is the time difference between the heating end time and the heating start time.

[0120] In another embodiment, the target heating time corresponding to the target water inlet temperature and the initial weight can be determined based on the corresponding relationship between the water inlet temperature and the target clothing weight and the heating time. The target heating time can be a preset fixed time or a fixed duration.

[0121] This embodiment is a dynamic method for determining the target heating time of the drying heating tube. The controller uses the first target temperature threshold as the trigger temperature for starting the drying heating tube heating and the second target temperature threshold as the stop temperature for stopping the drying heating tube heating, so as to flexibly determine the target heating time according to the temperature changes. Through this embodiment of determining the target heating time, it is not limited to the influence of a single factor (such as the influence of the weight of the target clothing on the target heating time), but can be based on the influence of comprehensive factors such as the weight of the target clothing, water content, heat exchange efficiency, etc., so that the determined target heating time is more reasonable and more accurate.

[0122] As an implementation method, combined with Figure 3 For the scenario where the drying process is performed after the washing process, before executing step S301, the controller also detects the water level height of the water in the water inlet channel based on the water level detection device, and performs drainage processing through the following steps: when the water level height is greater than or equal to the height threshold, the drainage processing is performed to drain the water in the water inlet channel.

[0123] Based on this, before the drying function is started, the water remaining in the water inlet channel during the washing process is drained out, so that the water inlet control process of the drying process is more reasonable, thereby ensuring the reliability of the drying process.

[0124] As an implementation method, combined with Figure 3 For the scenario where the target clothing has too much water content, before executing step S302, the controller may further execute the following steps:

[0125] When the water content of the target clothing is greater than or equal to the water content threshold, the target clothing is dehydrated so that the water content of the target clothing is less than the water content threshold.

[0126] Based on this, the impact of excessive humidity on the drying degree of the target clothes is taken into consideration. For example, if the target clothes are completely wet, directly drying the wet clothes will result in the drying time being too long or not drying at all. In this case, the target clothes will be dehydrated first and then the drying function will be started to ensure drying efficiency.

[0127] As an implementation method, Figure 5 As shown, after executing step S304, the target operating parameters can be updated in real time during the drying process to dry the target clothes with the updated target operating parameters. This can be implemented as follows:

[0128] Step S501 : During the drying process, according to a preset cycle, controlling the first temperature detection device to detect the condensed water temperature of the condensed water in the water inlet channel.

[0129] Step S502: When it is detected that the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, the target operating parameters are updated.

[0130] The above temperature difference is the temperature difference between the condensing water temperature and the inlet water temperature. The preset cycle corresponds to the target operating parameter one by one. The updated target operating parameter corresponding to the current preset cycle is greater than or equal to the target operating parameter corresponding to the previous preset cycle.

[0131] Step S503: When it is detected that the temperature difference between the condensed water temperature and the inlet water temperature is less than the temperature difference threshold, the drying process of the target clothes is stopped.

[0132] In this embodiment, if the temperature difference between the condensed water temperature and the inlet water temperature is greater than the temperature difference threshold within a target number of preset cycles, it indicates that a higher target operating parameter is required to dry the humid air more quickly. The target number of preset cycles refers to the total number of preset cycles in which a temperature difference greater than the temperature difference threshold is detected. Therefore, within the target number of preset cycles, the target operating parameter is increased according to the preset cycle within the allowable range of the operating parameter.

[0133] Through this embodiment, the target operating parameters are adjusted according to the temperature difference between the condensed water temperature and the inlet water temperature during the drying process, so that the target operating parameters during the drying process can be consistent with the drying efficiency requirements for humid air during the drying process stage, thereby ensuring the drying speed of the clothing processing equipment.

[0134] Furthermore, as an embodiment, the target operating parameters are updated in real time according to the corresponding relationship between the inlet water temperature and the target clothing weight and the operating parameters in the above embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, the above step S502 can be specifically implemented as the following steps:

[0135] Step S601: When the temperature difference of the current preset period is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, a target preset weight of the current preset period is determined.

[0136] The difference between the target preset weight of the current preset period and the target preset weight corresponding to the previous preset period is the preset weight threshold.

[0137] It should be noted that the current preset period and the previous preset period both belong to the preset periods in the target preset periods, and the current preset period and the previous preset period are relative to the sampling moments corresponding to the preset periods.

[0138] Step S602, based on the correspondence between the water temperature in the water inlet channel and the target clothing weight and the operating parameters, the operating parameters corresponding to the target water inlet temperature and the target preset weight of the current preset cycle are determined as the updated target operating parameters of the current cycle.

[0139] In this embodiment, by adjusting the target preset weight corresponding to each preset cycle in the target preset cycles, the target operating parameters of each preset cycle in the target preset cycles are adjusted accordingly according to the corresponding relationship between the inlet water temperature and the weight of the target clothing and the operating parameters, wherein the target preset weight represents the weight of the target clothing.

[0140] As an implementation method, combined with Figure 6 ,like Figure 7 As shown, after executing step S602, the following steps may be specifically implemented to determine whether the updated target operating parameters meet the preset conditions.

[0141] Step S701: When the updated target operating parameter is greater than or equal to the operating parameter threshold of the inlet water temperature, stop updating the target operating parameter;

[0142] Step S702, detecting the temperature difference between the condensed water temperature and the inlet water temperature;

[0143] Step S703: When it is detected that the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, the target clothes are dried according to the operating parameter threshold.

[0144] Step S704: When it is detected that the temperature difference between the condensed water temperature and the inlet water temperature is less than the temperature difference threshold, the drying process of the target clothes is stopped.

[0145] This embodiment is for target preset cycles. In a certain preset cycle, if the updated or adjusted target operating parameter is greater than or equal to the operating parameter threshold of the inlet water temperature, then starting from the preset cycle, the drying function will continue to be executed with the operating parameter threshold as the target operating parameter, and the temperature difference will continue to be detected according to the preset cycle until it is detected that the temperature difference between the condensation water temperature and the inlet water temperature is less than the temperature difference threshold, and then the drying function will be stopped.

[0146] Through this embodiment, the updated target operating parameters are within the allowable range of the operating parameters, thereby ensuring the rationality and accuracy of the target operating parameters corresponding to each preset period.

[0147] As a specific implementation method, combined with the above Table 1, as Figure 8 The drying process is specifically achieved through the following steps.

[0148] Step S801, starting the drying function.

[0149] Step S802: Detect the water level of the water inlet channel.

[0150] Step S803, determine whether the water level is greater than a preset height; if yes, proceed to step S804; if not, proceed to step S805.

[0151] Step S804, control the drain valve to perform drainage processing, and enter step S803.

[0152] Step S805: determining the target laundry processing weight and the target water inlet temperature.

[0153] Step S806: Determine target operating parameters according to the target laundry processing weight and the target water inlet temperature.

[0154] Step S807: Control the clothes processing equipment to operate according to the target operating parameters.

[0155] Step S808: determining the temperature difference between the condensed water temperature and the inlet water temperature.

[0156] Step S809, determine whether the temperature difference at the current time is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold; if yes, proceed to step S810, if not, proceed to step S814.

[0157] Step S810: Update target operating parameters.

[0158] Step S811, determine whether the updated target operating parameter is greater than or equal to the operating parameter threshold. If yes, proceed to step S812; if not, proceed to step S813.

[0159] Step S812, controlling the clothes processing device to operate according to the operating parameter threshold, and proceeding to step S808.

[0160] Step S813, controlling the clothes processing device to operate according to the updated target operating parameters, and proceeding to step S808.

[0161] Step S814, ending the drying process.

[0162] Specifically, taking the initial weight of the target laundry W<W0 and the water temperature of the water inlet valve T<T0 as an example, the above-mentioned specific implementation process of the drying treatment is described below.

[0163] First, when the drying process starts, the initial weight of the target clothes is W<W0, and the water temperature of the water inlet valve is T<T0, then the motor speed starts to run at N=N1, the temperature parameters Ton of the second temperature detection device are Ton1 and Toff are Toff1 to control the on and off of the drying heating pipe, the fan speed runs at M=M1, and the water inlet valve runs with the target timing parameters B as B1 and C as C1.

[0164] Secondly, during the drying process, the condensate temperature T2 in the water inlet channel is detected in real time. When the temperature difference between the condensate temperature and the inlet water temperature is T2-T≥ΔT, the motor speed N=N2 corresponding to the initial weight W in the range of W0≤W<W1 is controlled to operate, and the temperature parameters Ton and Toff of the second temperature detection device are respectively turned on at Ton2 and turned off at Toff2 to control the on and off of the drying heating tube, and the fan speed is operated at M=M2; the water inlet valve operates with the target timing parameters B as B1 and C as C1.

[0165] Next, after the drying process has run for t time, if the temperature difference is still greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold ΔT, equivalent to T2-T≥ΔT, the control is controlled to operate with the parameters corresponding to the initial range W≥W1 (i.e., motor speed N=N3, temperature parameters Ton and Toff of the second temperature detection device are Ton3 and Toff3 respectively, and fan speed M=M3). At this point, the motor speed, thermostat parameters, and fan speed are at the highest level. If the temperature difference is still T2-T≥ΔT after another t time, the control increases the water flow to the water inlet valve, and the water inlet valve operates at the target timings B2 and C2.

[0166] Finally, if the temperature difference remains T2-T0 ≥ ΔT after a further t-time period, the water inlet valve is further increased, and the target timing of the water inlet valve is set at B3 and C3. At this point, the on-off time of the water inlet valve has reached the operating parameter threshold. If the temperature difference remains T2-T0 ≥ ΔT after a further t-time period, the drying cycle continues at the operating parameter threshold until the drying process is complete.
