Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of clothes processing, and particularly provides a control method of clothes processing equipment with networking function. BACKGROUND

[0002] Clothes processing equipment is equipment capable of washing, rinsing, dewatering and / or drying clothes. Taking a drum washing machine as an example, the drum washing machine adopts an inner and outer drum structure. The inner drum can contain clothes and drive the clothes to tumble by rotating. The outer drum, as a water containing drum, can contain washing water. After washing, there will be water residues on the inner wall of the outer drum and the window cushion of the drum washing machine. If the water residues are not treated, they will mildew and breed bacteria, which is not conducive to user cleaning and affects the next use of the user. The drum washing machine with a drying function can dry the outer drum and the window cushion through a drying system. However, due to the isolation of the outer drum and the window cushion from the outside, the water vapor cannot be smoothly discharged, which requires a large amount of time and energy to dry the outer drum, and the drying effect on the window cushion is poor.

[0003] In the prior art, a ventilation system in communication with the outside can be provided in the drum washing machine to solve the above problem. That is, after washing, the outer drum and the window cushion can be ventilated with the outside through the ventilation system, so that the outer drum and the window cushion are dried with the outside air. However, when the weather is not good, even if the drum washing machine is placed indoors, the weather may affect the indoor environment due to the open window, for example, the humidity and temperature in the indoor environment. At this time, the outside air cannot be used to dry the outer drum and the window cushion, and even the moisture may be introduced, which makes the outer drum and the window cushion more humid, greatly reducing the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need in the art for a new control method of clothes processing equipment with networking function to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to solve the above technical problems, that is, to solve the problem that the existing clothes processing equipment cannot effectively dry the outer drum and the window cushion with outside air when the weather is not good.

[0014] By such a control method, the heating device is turned on when the temperature in the weather information is low or the humidity is high, so that humid air or low-temperature air is avoided from being introduced, the drying of the outer drum and the window pad is avoided from being affected, and the user experience is further improved.

[0015] In the preferred technical solution of the above control method, after the step of "turning on the heating device", the control method further comprises:

[0016] determining a heating temperature of the heating device according to the ambient temperature and / or the ambient humidity.

[0017] By such a control method, the heating temperature of the heating device is determined according to the ambient temperature and / or the ambient humidity, so that the heating device can be heated at the most appropriate temperature, the temperature of the introduced air is avoided from being still too low or the humidity is avoided from being still too high due to improper heating of the heating device, and over-heating is avoided to cause high energy consumption, that is, a balance between drying and energy consumption is achieved, the drying effect and low energy consumption are taken into account, and the user experience is further improved.

[0047] In view of the problem of the existing drum washing machine in the background art that the air drying effect of the outer drum and the window pad is poor when the weather is not good, the present application provides a control method of a drum washing machine with networking function, which aims to selectively open the heating device according to the weather, so as to avoid the failure to dry the outer drum and the window pad due to poor weather when using the fresh air system to dry the outer drum and the window pad, and to avoid introducing air such as more humid air, thereby improving the user experience.

[0048] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 The drum washing machine of the present application comprises a cabinet 1, an inner drum 2, an outer drum 3, a fresh air system, a heating device 4 and a networking module 5. The outer drum 3 is arranged in the cabinet 1 and connected to the clothes feeding port of the cabinet 1 through a window pad 6. The inner drum 2 is rotatably arranged in the outer drum 3. The fresh air system connects the outer drum 3 with the outside and can dry the outer drum 3 and the window pad 6. The heating device 4 is arranged in the fresh air system. The controller of the drum washing machine can obtain weather information through the networking module 5. The heating device 4 can be an electric heating device such as an electric heating pipe, an electric heating wire or a PTC heating sheet, etc. The heating device 4 can also be a water heating device, i.e. using the heating of water to realize the heat exchange between water and air, and then to realize the heating of fresh air. Of course, in other examples, the heating device 4 can also adopt other heating structures. The heating device 4 is arranged in the air inlet structure of the fresh air system, so as to ensure that the air entering the fresh air system but not yet entering the outer drum 3 and the window pad 6 can be heated by the heating device 4. The networking module 5 can be a wifi module, and can also be a 5G module or a 4G module, etc. Through the networking module 5, the controller of the drum washing machine can obtain weather information. Specifically, the networking module 5 can make the controller of the drum washing machine communicate with a cloud server. The weather information can be constantly updated to the cloud server, so that the controller of the drum washing machine can obtain it at any time.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, an air inlet is arranged on the back panel of the cabinet 1, and an air outlet is arranged on the front panel of the cabinet 1 or the door assembly of the drum washing machine (the door assembly can include a door frame and a door glass, and the air outlet is arranged on the door frame. Of course, the door assembly can also include a decorative ring, and the air outlet is arranged on the decorative ring). The fresh air system includes an air inlet pipeline 7, an air outlet pipeline 8 and a fan 9. The air inlet pipeline 7 connects the air inlet with the window pad 6. The air outlet pipeline 8 connects the air outlet with the outer drum 3. The fan 9 is arranged on the air inlet pipeline 7. More preferably, at least a part of the air inlet pipeline 7 and at least a part of the air outlet pipeline 8 are integrated on the distributor box of the drum washing machine, so as to save the arrangement space. Specifically, the partial structure of the air inlet pipeline 7 and the partial structure of the air outlet pipeline 8 can be integrally arranged on the bottom side of the distributor box.

[0050] Preferably, the fresh air system of the present application is provided with an air filtering device 10, which can filter the air entering the fresh air system and then make the filtered air enter the outer barrel 3 and the window cushion 6. The air filtering device 10 is arranged on the air inlet pipeline 7, and more preferably, on the upstream side of the fan 9, i.e. after the fan 9 introduces the air into the air inlet pipeline 7, the air first passes through the air filtering device 10 and then enters the fan 9, so as to avoid the dust and other impurities from staining the fan 9. The air filtering device 10 can adopt a structure of multiple layers of equivalent filter screens, or a structure of combination of coarse filter screens, medium filter screens and high filter screens, or other filtering structures, which can be flexibly arranged by those skilled in the art in actual application.

[0051] Preferably, the fresh air system of the present application is provided with a fragrance device 11, which is arranged to be selectively opened. Specifically, the fragrance device 11 can include a box body and a cover body, the box body forms a containing space for containing fragrance liquid or fragrance blocks, and the cover body is pivotally connected to the opening edge of the box body. The cover body can be directly driven to open by a driving motor, or the driving motor is indirectly connected to the cover body through a transmission mechanism such as a gear pair. The driving motor is in communication connection with the controller of the drum washing machine. In other examples, the fragrance device 11 can also adopt other structures, for example, the box body described above can also be replaced by a groove formed on the inner wall of the air inlet pipeline 7, that is, the groove contains the fragrance liquid or the fragrance blocks. The fragrance device 11 is arranged in the air inlet structure of the fresh air system, so as to ensure that the air entering the fresh air system but not yet entering the outer drum 3 and the window pad 6 can carry the fragrance, facilitating the fragrance to be sent into the outer drum 3 together with the air. In an alternative case, the fragrance device 11 adopts the structure of the combination of the box body and the cover body, the box body is integrally arranged with the air inlet pipeline 7, and the panel of the cabinet 1 is provided with a fragrance feeding port, which is in communication with the box body through a fragrance pipeline. The user can pour the fragrance liquid or the fragrance blocks into the fragrance feeding port, and then the fragrance liquid or the fragrance blocks are finally poured into the box body through the fragrance pipeline. In another alternative case, the fragrance device 11 adopts the structure of the combination of the box body and the cover body, the box body is detachably connected with the air inlet pipeline 7, for example, the box body is connected with the air inlet pipeline 7 in a screwing, clamping or magnetic attraction manner. When the user replenishes the fragrance liquid or the fragrance blocks, the box body only needs to be detached from the air inlet pipeline 7. In another possible case, the panel of the cabinet 1 is provided with an air inlet, the air inlet pipeline 7 is in communication with the air inlet, and the fragrance device 11 is detachably buckled on the air inlet, and the fragrance device 11 is formed with a grid or an opening to allow air to enter the air inlet pipeline 7 through the grid or the opening. In this case, the user can manually add the fragrance liquid or the fragrance blocks to the fragrance device 11 when it is needed to use the fragrance, and remove the fragrance liquid or the fragrance blocks from the fragrance device 11 if it is not used. The fragrance device 11 can adopt the structure of the combination of the cover body and the box body, or the structure of the mutual buckling of the double housings. In the above case, an electric heating sheet can also be arranged in the fragrance device 11 to improve the release capacity of the fragrance. In addition, when both the air filter device 10 and the fragrance device 11 are arranged in the fresh air system, the fragrance device 11 is preferably arranged on the downstream side of the air filter device 10, so as to avoid the dust and other impurities mixed in the fresh air from entering the fragrance device 11.

[0052] As Figure 2 shown, the control method of the present application includes:

[0053] obtaining weather information;

[0054] selectively opening the heating device according to the weather information during the operation of the fresh air system.

[0055] In the above, the weather information can include temperature information, humidity information, and pollutant information, etc. Those skilled in the art can determine whether to open the heating device according to the humidity information in the weather information, or can determine whether to open the heating device according to the temperature information in the weather information, or can determine whether to open the heating device according to the humidity information and the temperature information in the weather information, or can determine whether to open the heating device according to other information in the weather information.

[0056] It should be noted that the above step of obtaining weather information can be performed before the fresh air system starts to operate, or can be performed after the fresh air system starts to operate, that is, the drum washing machine can obtain weather information after being powered on, or can obtain weather information after the fresh air system is determined to operate (the case shown in the figure is this case).

[0057] Preferably, the aforementioned step of "selectively opening the heating device according to the weather information" comprises:

[0058] In the case where the clothes are taken out, the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity are extracted from the weather information;

[0059] If the ambient temperature is less than or equal to a preset temperature or the ambient humidity is greater than or equal to a preset humidity, the heating device is opened.

[0060] That is, it can be first determined whether the clothes are taken out, if not, continue to obtain the weather information, if yes, the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity are extracted from the weather information, if the ambient temperature is less than or equal to a preset temperature or the ambient humidity is greater than or equal to a preset humidity, it means that the ambient temperature is too low or the ambient humidity is too high, as long as one of the two, the heating device needs to be opened, if the ambient temperature is too low, the air temperature entering the outer drum and the window pad can be increased through the heating device, thereby facilitating the air drying of the outer drum and the window pad, if the ambient humidity is too high, the wet air can be dried through the heating device, thereby avoiding the entry of humid gas into the outer drum and the window pad. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the preset temperature and the preset humidity in actual application, for example, the preset temperature is set to 5-15℃ (preferably 10℃), and the preset humidity is set to a relative humidity less than or equal to 30% (preferably 15%). Of course, the specific range or specific value of the above-mentioned preset temperature and preset humidity is only exemplary and does not constitute a limitation on the present application.

[0061] Further, if the ambient temperature is greater than the preset temperature and the ambient humidity is less than the preset humidity, the heating device is closed.

[0062] That is, if the ambient temperature is relatively high and the ambient humidity is relatively low, it means that the air drying of the outer drum and the window pad can be achieved without opening the heating device, thereby facilitating energy saving.

[0063] Alternatively, if the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature or the ambient humidity is greater than or equal to the preset humidity, the heating device is turned on for a fixed time length, for example, 8 hours, to achieve air drying of the outer drum and the window cushion.

[0064] More preferably, after the aforementioned step of "turning on the heating device", the control method of the present application further comprises:

[0065] The heating temperature of the heating device is determined according to the ambient temperature and / or the ambient humidity. The specific setting rule can be: the lower the ambient temperature, the higher the heating temperature, and the higher the ambient humidity, the higher the heating temperature. For example, if the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature but the ambient humidity is less than the preset humidity, the heating temperature is determined according to the ambient temperature; if the ambient temperature is greater than the preset temperature but the ambient humidity is greater than or equal to the preset humidity, the heating temperature is determined according to the ambient humidity; if the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature and the ambient humidity is greater than or equal to the preset humidity, the percentage decrease of the ambient temperature relative to the preset temperature and the percentage increase of the ambient humidity relative to the preset humidity are calculated respectively, and then the heating temperature is determined according to the greater one of the percentage decrease and the percentage increase. For example, the percentage decrease of the ambient temperature relative to the preset temperature can be calculated by subtracting the ambient temperature from the preset temperature and then calculating the ratio of the difference to the preset temperature; and for example, the percentage increase of the ambient humidity relative to the preset humidity can be calculated by subtracting the preset humidity from the ambient humidity and then calculating the ratio of the difference to the preset humidity.

[0066] Preferably, the aforementioned step of "selectively turning on the heating device according to the weather information" comprises:

[0067] In the case that the drum washing machine finishes washing clothes but the clothes are not taken out, the ambient temperature is extracted from the weather information;

[0068] If the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the freezing temperature, the heating device is turned on.

[0069] That is, the freezing temperature is the freezing point temperature. The freezing temperature of water is 0℃ under standard atmospheric pressure, and the freezing temperature of water will change under other atmospheric pressures. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the freezing temperature according to the atmospheric pressure of the geographical location where the drum washing machine is located. When the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the freezing temperature, the heating device should be turned on immediately to avoid cold air entering the outer drum and causing the clothes not taken out to freeze, affecting the normal use of the user. It should be noted that when the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the freezing temperature, the heating temperature of the heating device needs to be determined according to the specific temperature value of the ambient temperature, and the heating temperature of the heating device needs to be at least higher than the freezing temperature of the air entering the outer drum and the window cushion.

[0070] More preferably, in the case that the laundry of the drum washing machine is completed but the laundry is not taken out and the fresh air system is running, the control method of the present application further comprises:

[0071] The inner drum is rotated by a set angle every first set time.

[0072] The first set time can be 5 minutes, 10 minutes or other time values, and the set angle can be 360° or 270°, for example, in one possible case, the inner drum is rotated one turn every 5 minutes. The first set time and the set angle can be flexibly set in actual application by those skilled in the art.

[0073] Preferably, when there is a fragrance device in the fresh air system of the drum washing machine, in the case that the laundry of the drum washing machine is completed but the laundry is not taken out and the fresh air system is running, the fragrance device can be opened by default, that is, if the user does not take out the laundry from the drum washing machine, the user can suppress the generation of odor and the breeding of bacteria of the laundry by running the fresh air system, and continuously fragrance the laundry by the fragrance device, so as to ensure that the laundry has fragrance.

[0074] Preferably, when there is a fragrance device in the fresh air system of the drum washing machine, in the case that the laundry is in the inner drum and the drum washing machine is not in the laundry mode and the fresh air system is running, the input fragrance care instruction is obtained; if the input fragrance care instruction is obtained, the fragrance device is opened. That is, when the drum washing machine uses the fresh air system to dry the laundry, the user can actively input the fragrance care instruction to the drum washing machine, so as to fragrance the laundry. Through such a control mode, even if the laundry is not just washed, the user can put the laundry that needs to be fragranced or the laundry that is hand-washed into the drum washing machine to use the fresh air system and the fragrance device to dry and fragrance the laundry, so as to further enrich the functions of the drum washing machine. The user can input the instruction by operating the control panel of the drum washing machine, or by communicating with the networking module of the drum washing machine through a mobile terminal (such as a mobile phone, a tablet, etc.) to realize the transmission and input of the instruction.

[0075] In the above, in the process of using the fresh air system and the fragrance device to dry and fragrance the laundry, the inner drum is alternately rotated forward and reversely by a preset number of turns every second set time.

[0076] The second setting time can be set as 1 minute, 2 minutes or other time values, and the preset number of turns can be 10 turns, 15 turns or other numbers of turns. For example, in one possible case, the inner drum is set to rotate 10 turns in 1 minute. The second setting time and the preset number of turns can be set flexibly in actual applications by those skilled in the art. In the above case, the inner drum is set to rotate the preset number of turns in the second setting time, which can be set to rotate the preset number of turns in the second setting time in the forward direction first and then in the reverse direction, or to rotate one turn in the forward direction and one turn in the reverse direction in the second setting time until the number of turns in the forward direction and the number of turns in the reverse direction both reach the preset number of turns. Of course, the inner drum can also be set to rotate in the reverse direction first and then in the forward direction.

[0077] In the present application, the weight sensor can be used to detect whether there are clothes in the inner drum, or image recognition or RFID recognition can be used to detect whether there are clothes in the inner drum.

[0078] In one specific case, when it is detected that the user takes out clothes from the inner drum, it can be further determined whether the door assembly is closed (a distance sensor or a pressure sensor can be provided to detect whether the door assembly is closed), and if the door assembly is closed, the fresh air system is automatically started. During the operation of the fresh air system, the controller obtains the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity through the networking module, and then determines whether to turn on the heating device according to the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity.

[0079] So far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but those skilled in the art can easily understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features without departing from the principles of the present application, and the technical solutions after the changes or replacements will fall within the protection scope of the present application.
