[0055] Figure 7 This is a structural block diagram of the clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] In existing technologies, the sterilization of clothing is usually achieved by heating through the heat pump system of a dryer or by generating ozone through an ozone generator. The sterilization method is singular, and the required temperature or time is high, resulting in a large power consumption for sterilization.

[0058] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of this application provide a garment processing device and its control method, control apparatus, and storage medium, which will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0059] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a first flowchart illustrating a control method for a garment handling device provided in an embodiment of this application. The garment handling device can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. The dryer can be a venting dryer, a heat pump dryer, or a condenser dryer, etc. The garment handling device may include an inner drum for holding garments. The control method for the garment handling device includes:

[0060] 101. Obtain the drying instruction from the clothing processing equipment.

[0061] For the sterilization of clothing, it can be performed during the drying process. It is understood that performing sterilization while the clothing is in the washing water or during the washing process will result in incomplete sterilization or poor sterilization effect. The water may contain various bacteria such as mites, and the sterilization process will also take longer and consume more electricity. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sterilization operation can be performed during the drying process.

[0062] Clothing processing equipment can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. Dryers not only have drying programs for different materials—for example, a wool drying program for wool, a down drying program for down, and a cotton / linen drying program—but also other programs, such as care programs. Dryers can include multiple touch or virtual buttons for users to select different programs. Drying instructions can be obtained from user input; alternatively, the dryer can automatically enter the drying program by detecting the condition of the clothes in the drum. For example, when the user places clothes into the dryer drum, the machine can first detect the moisture level and then the fabric type, selecting the appropriate drying program based on the moisture and fabric, and then the dryer will execute the corresponding drying program.

[0063] For washer-dryer combos, they can include washing and drying programs. Some washer-dryer combos may also include a care program. The care program is usually a separate program, or a program that follows the washing and drying programs, representing the final stage of garment processing. Care programs at this stage can include wrinkle removal, such as steam wrinkle removal. Performing a sterilization operation at this stage would increase the duration of the care program or result in incomplete sterilization. It's understandable that the washing program, with its high moisture content or soaking clothes, can also lead to incomplete sterilization or higher energy consumption. Therefore, sterilization is often performed during the drying program. The drying command can be received automatically, meaning the clothes are spun dry after the washing program. Alternatively, the user can receive the drying command by pressing physical or virtual buttons on the washer-dryer combo, allowing only the drying process to proceed.

[0064] 102. Dry the clothes in the inner drum according to the drying instructions, and perform different sterilization operations at different stages of the drying process.

[0065] Once a drying instruction is received, the clothes can be dried. For example, if a wool drying program is received, the garment processing equipment will execute the wool drying program. The difference between the wool drying program and those for other materials such as cotton and linen is the drying time. It's understandable that wool garments of the same weight have a lower water absorption rate than cotton and linen garments; therefore, the wool drying program can have a shorter running time than the cotton and linen program. Of course, this is just an example and should not be interpreted as a limitation on the drying program.

[0066] In existing technologies, only one sterilization operation or a single sterilization operation is typically performed during the clothes drying process. A single sterilization operation has significant limitations, as it cannot adapt to all types of bacteria, easily leading to incomplete sterilization. A single sterilization operation can also result in incomplete sterilization, poor sterilization effect, or high power consumption.

[0067] Therefore, to address the aforementioned issues, this application embodiment performs different sterilization operations at different stages of the clothes drying process. For example, the operating stages can be divided into a heating stage, a constant temperature stage, a low temperature stage, and a cooling stage, and the sterilization operations can be negative ion sterilization, ozone sterilization, steam sterilization, and ultraviolet sterilization. Performing appropriate sterilization operations at different operating stages can improve the sterilization effect and efficiency, and save electricity. For example, steam sterilization can be used after the compressor is turned off. The compressor is used to drive heating of the inner drum. Steam sterilization requires the heating element to heat the water to generate high-temperature steam, such as 70℃-100℃. If the heating element and the compressor work simultaneously, it will lead to increased power consumption of the clothes processing equipment. Therefore, the steam sterilization operation can be used after the compressor is turned off. Of course, this does not limit the steam sterilization to only after the compressor is turned off. In some embodiments, the steam sterilization operation can also be performed while the compressor is working.

[0068] In the control method of the clothing processing equipment provided in this application embodiment, by performing different sterilization operations on different operating stages during the drying process, the sterilization efficiency and sterilization effect can be improved. Different sterilization operations are adapted to different operating stages, and different operating stages and suitable sterilization operations work together to save electricity.

[0069] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a second flowchart illustrating the control method for a garment handling device provided in an embodiment of this application. The garment handling device can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. The dryer can be a venting dryer, a heat pump dryer, or a condenser dryer, etc. The garment handling device may include an inner drum for holding garments. The control method for the garment handling device includes:

[0070] 201. Obtain the drying instruction from the clothing processing equipment.

[0071] For the sterilization of clothing, it can be performed during the drying process. It is understood that performing sterilization while the clothing is in the washing water or during the washing process will result in incomplete sterilization or poor sterilization effect. The water may contain various bacteria such as mites, and the sterilization process will also take longer and consume more electricity. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sterilization operation can be performed during the drying process.

[0072] Clothing processing equipment can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. Dryers not only have drying programs for different materials—for example, a wool drying program for wool, a down drying program for down, and a cotton / linen drying program—but also other programs, such as care programs. Dryers can include multiple touch or virtual buttons for users to select different programs. Drying instructions can be obtained from user input; alternatively, the dryer can automatically enter the drying program by detecting the condition of the clothes in the drum. For example, when the user places clothes into the dryer drum, the machine can first detect the moisture level and then the fabric type, selecting the appropriate drying program based on the moisture and fabric, and then the dryer will execute the corresponding drying program.

[0073] For washer-dryer combos, they can include washing and drying programs. Some washer-dryer combos may also include a care program. The care program is usually a separate program, or a program that follows the washing and drying programs, representing the final stage of garment processing. Care programs at this stage can include wrinkle removal, such as steam wrinkle removal. Performing a sterilization operation at this stage would increase the duration of the care program or result in incomplete sterilization. It's understandable that the washing program, with its high moisture content or soaking clothes, can also lead to incomplete sterilization or higher energy consumption. Therefore, sterilization is often performed during the drying program. The drying command can be received automatically, meaning the clothes are spun dry after the washing program. Alternatively, the user can receive the drying command by pressing physical or virtual buttons on the washer-dryer combo, allowing only the drying process to proceed.

[0074] 202. The sterilization operation includes a first sterilization operation and a second sterilization operation. The first sterilization operation and the second sterilization operation are two of the following: oxygen sterilization, ultraviolet sterilization and steam sterilization. The clothes in the inner drum are dried according to the drying instruction. The first sterilization operation and the second sterilization operation are performed at different stages of the drying process.

[0075] Once a drying instruction is received, the clothes can be dried. For example, if a wool drying program is received, the garment processing equipment will execute the wool drying program. The difference between the wool drying program and those for other materials such as cotton and linen is the drying time. It's understandable that wool garments of the same weight have a lower water absorption rate than cotton and linen garments; therefore, the wool drying program can have a shorter running time than the cotton and linen program. Of course, this is just an example and should not be interpreted as a limitation on the drying program.

[0076] For example, if the drying program is an automatic drying judgment program, that is, the clothing processing equipment automatically judges whether the clothes are dry and stops when they are dry. According to the temperature of the drying process, the operation stages of drying clothes can be divided into the heating stage, the constant temperature maintenance stage, the low temperature stage, and the cooling stage.

[0077] The heating stage, also known as the stage of heating the clothes inside the inner drum to the working temperature, is achieved through a heating component. This component can include a compressor, evaporator, condenser, and air duct. The air duct connects to the inner drum, providing it with hot air. For example, in a heat pump dryer, the air is heated into dry, hot air by the heat energy generated by the compression and decompression of the heat pump. This dry, hot air passes through the wet clothes, where the remaining moisture absorbs heat, becoming humid, hot air. This humid, hot air then passes through the condenser and is transformed into dry, cold air, with water vapor condensing into droplets and being discharged. This dry, cold air continues to be heated by the heat energy generated by the compression and decompression of the heat pump, participating in the drying process repeatedly until the wet clothes are completely dry. During operation, the heat pump dryer, like a regular air conditioner, absorbs energy QA from the low-temperature environment in the evaporator. It consumes some energy, namely QB from the compressor, and the refrigerant circulation system releases heat QC in the condenser. QC = QA + QB, so the efficiency of the heat pump dryer is (QA + QB) / QB. The heating efficiency of other heating devices is less than 1, so the heating efficiency of the heat pump dryer is much higher than that of other heating devices.

[0078] The constant temperature maintenance stage, which maintains the operating temperature, allows for control of the inner drum's rotation to ensure even drying of clothes. The garment processing equipment may also include a humidity sensor. This sensor detects the humidity level of the clothes inside the drum and compares it to a humidity threshold. If the humidity is within the threshold, the process proceeds to the next stage. The humidity sensor can monitor the humidity level of the clothes in the drum in real time to determine the operating status of the garment processing equipment.

[0079] The low-temperature stage is a drying process performed when the clothes are less moist. At this time, the moisture content of the clothes is low, so there is no need to use a working temperature such as 60℃ as in the constant temperature maintenance stage. Instead, another working temperature such as 40℃ can be used for drying. This ensures that the clothes are dried without burning them and also reduces power consumption.

[0080] The cooling phase, which is the stage after the drying process is complete, involves shutting off the compressor, stopping hot air circulation, and allowing the inner drum of the garment processing equipment to cool naturally. This cooling phase can have a preset duration. After the cooling phase ends, the user can open the door of the garment processing equipment and remove the clothes from the inner drum. Alternatively, a program can be set to allow the garment processing equipment door to remain unlocked or open during the middle or later stages of the cooling phase, ensuring the clothes inside the drum are not too hot and preventing burns.

[0081] For example, the sterilization operation may include a first sterilization operation and a second sterilization operation. The first sterilization operation and the second sterilization operation are different in method. The first sterilization operation and the second sterilization operation can be two of oxygen sterilization, ultraviolet sterilization and steam sterilization. Oxygen sterilization can be negative ion sterilization or ozone sterilization. Of course, there can be other sterilization methods. Here, we only use the above-mentioned oxygen sterilization, ultraviolet sterilization and steam sterilization as examples for illustration, and it should not be construed as a limitation on the sterilization method.

[0082] Within the four operational phases described above, a first sterilization operation and a second sterilization operation can be performed at different stages. There are various scenarios for performing the first and second sterilization operations at different operational phases.

[0083] For example, in the first case, when the first sterilization operation and the second sterilization operation are oxygen sterilization and ultraviolet sterilization, respectively, the oxygen sterilization operation can be performed in at least one of the following operating stages: heating stage, constant temperature holding stage, low temperature stage, and cooling stage, and the ultraviolet sterilization operation can be performed in at least one of the following operating stages: low temperature stage and cooling stage.

[0084] It should be noted that oxygen sterilization, such as negative ion sterilization, utilizes ions that can penetrate clothing to contact bacteria, disrupting their protein structure and thus eliminating germs. Therefore, oxygen sterilization is unaffected by the humidity of the clothing and can be applied in all four stages mentioned above. Oxygen sterilization can be performed in at least one of the four operating stages, for example, in one, two, three, or all four stages.

[0085] It should be noted that while ultraviolet (UV) sterilization is effective, its penetrating power is relatively weak. During the heating and temperature-maintaining phases, the humidity of the clothing inside the garment is high, making it difficult for UV sterilization to penetrate moisture-laden clothing. Therefore, the sterilization efficiency is lower during these phases. During the low-temperature and cooling phases, the humidity of the clothing is lower than during the heating and temperature-maintaining phases. Therefore, performing UV sterilization in at least one of these two phases can improve the sterilization effect. This is merely an example illustrating that UV sterilization can be performed during the low-temperature and cooling phases; it should not be interpreted as meaning that UV sterilization can only be performed during these phases, nor should it be interpreted as meaning that UV sterilization cannot be performed during the heating and temperature-maintaining phases.

[0086] Matching appropriate sterilization operations to different operating stages can improve sterilization efficiency and effectiveness, save energy, and avoid excessively long sterilization times for individual sterilization operations.

[0087] For example, in the second case, when the first sterilization operation and the second sterilization operation are oxygen sterilization and steam sterilization respectively, the oxygen sterilization operation can be performed in at least one of the following operating stages: heating stage, constant temperature holding stage, low temperature stage, and cooling stage, and the steam sterilization operation can be performed between the low temperature stage and the cooling stage.

[0088] The oxygen sterilization procedure can be referred to in the instructions for the first case, and will not be repeated here.

[0089] For steam sterilization, it can be performed after the compressor is turned off, that is, after the low-temperature stage has ended, for a short period of time. The compressor is used to drive the heating of the inner drum. Steam sterilization requires the heating element to heat the water to generate high-temperature steam, such as 70℃-100℃. If the heating element and the compressor work simultaneously, it will increase the power consumption of the garment processing equipment. Therefore, steam sterilization can be performed after the compressor is turned off. Of course, this does not mean that steam sterilization must be performed after the compressor is turned off. In some embodiments, steam sterilization can also be performed while the compressor is running.

[0090] Matching appropriate sterilization operations to different operating stages can improve sterilization efficiency and effectiveness, save energy, and avoid excessively long sterilization times for individual sterilization operations.

[0091] For example, in the third case, when the first sterilization operation and the second sterilization operation are ultraviolet sterilization and steam sterilization, respectively, the ultraviolet sterilization operation can be performed in at least one of the low temperature stage and the cooling stage, and the steam sterilization operation can be performed between the low temperature stage and the cooling stage.

[0092] For ultraviolet sterilization and steam sterilization operations, please refer to the explanations for the first and second cases mentioned above, respectively. They will not be repeated here.

[0093] Matching appropriate sterilization operations to different operating stages can improve sterilization efficiency and effectiveness, save energy, and avoid excessively long sterilization times for individual sterilization operations.

[0094] For example, if the drying program is a timed program, such as when a user operates the clothing processing device to set the drying program to run for a preset duration, the drying process can be divided into three stages based on the drying time: a user-added time stage, a program default setting stage, and a cooling stage.

[0095] The user-added time stage can be understood as a stage where the user freely selects the drying time. For example, when the moisture content of the clothes is high, the user can choose a certain time for preliminary drying. This stage includes heating the clothes inside the drum and controlling the drum's rotation. For instance, if the user selects a drying time of 20 minutes, the next stage will begin after the clothes handling equipment has been running for 20 minutes.

[0096] The default program setting phase can be understood as running the corresponding drying time after selecting a drying program. At this stage, post-drying processing can be performed on the clothes; that is, the moisture content of the clothes is much lower than in the user-added time phase. After a certain drying time, the clothes are completely dry. After running the second preset time, the program can proceed to the next stage.

[0097] The cooling phase, which is the stage after the drying process is complete, involves shutting off the compressor, stopping hot air circulation, and allowing the inner drum of the garment processing equipment to cool naturally. This cooling phase can have a preset duration. After the cooling phase ends, the user can open the door of the garment processing equipment and remove the clothes from the inner drum. Alternatively, a program can be set to allow the garment processing equipment door to remain unlocked or open during the middle or later stages of the cooling phase, ensuring the clothes inside the drum are not too hot and preventing burns.

[0098] In the three operating phases described above, the first and second sterilization operations can be performed at different stages. There are various scenarios for performing the first and second sterilization operations at different operating phases.

[0099] For example, in the fourth case, when the first sterilization operation and the second sterilization operation are oxygen sterilization and ultraviolet sterilization respectively, the oxygen sterilization operation can be performed in at least one of the following running stages: the user-added time stage, the program default setting stage, and the cooling stage, and the ultraviolet sterilization operation can be performed in at least one of the following running stages: the program default setting stage and the cooling stage.

[0100] It should be noted that oxygen sterilization, such as negative ion sterilization, allows ions to penetrate clothing and come into contact with bacteria, disrupting their protein structure and thus eliminating bacteria. Therefore, oxygen sterilization is unaffected by the humidity of the clothing and can be applied in all three stages mentioned above.

[0101] It should be noted that while UV sterilization is effective, its penetrating power is relatively weak. During the user-added time phase, the humidity of the clothing inside the garment is higher, making it difficult for UV sterilization to penetrate the moisture content. Therefore, the sterilization efficiency is lower during this phase. During the program default setting phase and the cooling phase, the humidity of the clothing is lower than during the user-added time phase. Therefore, performing UV sterilization during at least one of these two phases can improve the sterilization effect. Of course, this is only an example to illustrate that UV sterilization can be performed during the program default setting phase and the cooling phase; it should not be interpreted as meaning that UV sterilization can only be performed during these phases, nor should it be interpreted as meaning that UV sterilization cannot be performed during the user-added time phase.

[0102] Matching appropriate sterilization operations to different operating stages can improve sterilization efficiency and effectiveness, save energy, and avoid excessively long sterilization times for individual sterilization operations.

[0103] For example, in the fifth case, when the first sterilization operation and the second sterilization operation are oxygen sterilization and steam sterilization respectively, the oxygen sterilization operation can be performed in at least one of the following operating stages: the user-added time stage, the program default setting stage, and the cooling stage, and the steam sterilization operation can be performed between the program default setting stage and the cooling stage.

[0104] The oxygen sterilization procedure can be referred to in the instructions for the fourth case, and will not be repeated here.

[0105] For steam sterilization, it can be performed after the compressor is turned off, that is, after the default program settings have ended, for a short period of time. The compressor is used to drive the heating of the inner drum. Steam sterilization requires the heating element to heat the water to generate high-temperature steam, such as 70℃-100℃. If the heating element and the compressor work simultaneously, it will increase the power consumption of the garment processing equipment. Therefore, steam sterilization can be performed after the compressor is turned off. Of course, this does not mean that steam sterilization must be performed after the compressor is turned off. In some embodiments, steam sterilization can also be performed while the compressor is running.

[0106] Matching appropriate sterilization operations to different operating stages can improve sterilization efficiency and effectiveness, save energy, and avoid excessively long sterilization times for individual sterilization operations.

[0107] For example, in the sixth case, when the first sterilization operation and the second sterilization operation are ultraviolet sterilization and steam sterilization, respectively, the ultraviolet sterilization operation can be performed in at least one of the program default setting stage and the cooling stage, and the steam sterilization operation can be performed between the program default setting stage and the cooling stage.

[0108] For ultraviolet sterilization and steam sterilization operations, please refer to the explanations for the fourth and fifth situations mentioned above, respectively, which will not be repeated here.

[0109] In the control method of the clothing processing equipment provided in this application embodiment, by performing different sterilization operations on different operating stages during the drying process, the sterilization efficiency and sterilization effect can be improved. Different sterilization operations are adapted to different operating stages, and different operating stages and suitable sterilization operations work together to save electricity.

[0110] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a third flowchart illustrating the control method for a garment handling device provided in this application embodiment. The garment handling device can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. The dryer can be a venting dryer, a heat pump dryer, or a condenser dryer, etc. The garment handling device may include an inner drum for holding garments. The control method for the garment handling device includes:

[0111] 301. Obtain the drying instruction from the clothing processing equipment.

[0112] For the sterilization of clothing, it can be performed during the drying process. It is understood that performing sterilization while the clothing is in the washing water or during the washing process will result in incomplete sterilization or poor sterilization effect. The water may contain various bacteria such as mites, and the sterilization process will also take longer and consume more electricity. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sterilization operation can be performed during the drying process.

[0113] Clothing processing equipment can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. Dryers not only have drying programs for different materials—for example, a wool drying program for wool, a down drying program for down, and a cotton / linen drying program—but also other programs, such as care programs. Dryers can include multiple touch or virtual buttons for users to select different programs. Drying instructions can be obtained from user input; alternatively, the dryer can automatically enter the drying program by detecting the condition of the clothes in the drum. For example, when the user places clothes into the dryer drum, the machine can first detect the moisture level and then the fabric type, selecting the appropriate drying program based on the moisture and fabric, and then the dryer will execute the corresponding drying program.

[0114] For washer-dryer combos, they can include washing and drying programs. Some washer-dryer combos may also include a care program. The care program is usually a separate program, or a program that follows the washing and drying programs, representing the final stage of garment processing. Care programs at this stage can include wrinkle removal, such as steam wrinkle removal. Performing a sterilization operation at this stage would increase the duration of the care program or result in incomplete sterilization. It's understandable that the washing program, with its high moisture content or soaking clothes, can also lead to incomplete sterilization or higher energy consumption. Therefore, sterilization is often performed during the drying program. The drying command can be received automatically, meaning the clothes are spun dry after the washing program. Alternatively, the user can receive the drying command by pressing physical or virtual buttons on the washer-dryer combo, allowing only the drying process to proceed.

[0115] 302. The sterilization operation includes a first sterilization operation, a second sterilization operation, and a third sterilization operation. The first sterilization operation, the second sterilization operation, and the third sterilization operation are respectively one of oxygen sterilization, ultraviolet sterilization, and steam sterilization. In the first stage, the clothes in the inner drum are heated to the first working temperature, and the first sterilization operation is performed on the clothes in the inner drum.

[0116] Taking oxygen sterilization as the first sterilization operation, ultraviolet sterilization as the second sterilization operation, and steam sterilization as the third sterilization operation as examples, this paper explains the different sterilization operations performed at different operating stages.

[0117] After receiving the drying instruction, the system first enters the first stage, heating the clothes inside the drum to the first operating temperature and performing the first sterilization operation, which is an oxygen sterilization operation. This oxygen sterilization operation can be either ozone sterilization or negative ion sterilization. It should be noted that since the ion generator for oxygen sterilization, such as negative ion sterilization, can be installed inside the air duct, performing sterilization on the clothes inside the drum is more convenient. Furthermore, negative ion sterilization is not affected by the moisture content of the clothes; therefore, oxygen sterilization can be performed in the first stage.

[0118] The first stage corresponds to different stages depending on the drying program, such as automatic drying programs and timed programs.

[0119] For example, if the drying program is an automatic drying program, the first stage can correspond to the heating stage and the constant temperature holding stage. This involves components such as the inner drum of the garment processing equipment, the compressor of the heating element, the evaporator, the condenser, and the air ducts. The rotation of the inner drum drives the fan that supplies air to the air ducts, thus introducing hot air into the inner drum, raising the temperature throughout the drum, and simultaneously performing negative ion sterilization. During this stage, the temperature and humidity can be used to determine whether to proceed to the next stage, i.e., the second stage. For instance, the temperature value in the inner drum is collected in real time and compared with a first set temperature. If the temperature value is lower than the first set temperature, heating continues until the temperature value exceeds the first set temperature, entering the constant temperature holding stage. During the constant temperature holding stage, the humidity value of the clothes inside the inner drum is collected in real time and compared with a first set humidity. If the humidity value is higher than the first preset humidity, heating continues until the humidity value is within the first preset humidity, transitioning from the first stage to the second stage. Of course, the running time can also be considered during this process; if the heating time exceeds a preset time, the next stage is initiated.

[0120] For example, if the drying program is a timed program, the first stage can be customized by the user by adding a time period. Combining the inner drum, heating element (compressor), evaporator, condenser, and air ducts of the garment processing equipment, the rotation of the inner drum drives the fan that supplies air to the air ducts, thus introducing hot air into the inner drum, raising the temperature throughout the drum, and simultaneously performing negative ion sterilization. During this stage, the compressor's runtime can be used to determine whether to proceed to the next stage. For instance, the compressor's runtime can be recorded first; if the runtime exceeds a certain threshold, the process can proceed from the first stage to the second stage.

[0121] 303. Enter the second stage, cool the clothes in the inner drum to the second working temperature. The second working temperature is lower than the first working temperature. Perform at least the second sterilization operation on the clothes in the inner drum.

[0122] The second sterilization step can be ultraviolet (UV) sterilization. Although UV sterilization is powerful, its penetrating ability is relatively weak. Because the humidity of the inner garment is high in the first stage, UV sterilization is difficult to penetrate garments containing a lot of moisture, resulting in low sterilization efficiency in the first stage. Therefore, this embodiment performs at least one UV sterilization step in the second stage. Alternatively, oxygen sterilization and UV sterilization can be performed simultaneously in the second stage. Combining different sterilization steps can improve sterilization efficiency and effectiveness.

[0123] The second stage corresponds to different stages depending on the drying program, such as automatic drying programs and timed programs.

[0124] For example, if the drying program is an automatic drying program, the second stage can correspond to a low-temperature stage. The low-temperature stage involves drying the clothes when their moisture content is low. At this time, instead of the first operating temperature (e.g., 60℃) of the constant temperature maintenance stage, a second operating temperature (e.g., 40℃) can be used for drying. This ensures the clothes are dried without damaging them and also reduces power consumption. In the low-temperature stage, UV sterilization or simultaneous UV and oxygen sterilization can be performed. For UV sterilization, the progress can be indicated. For example, a UV progress indicator ring can be set up, gradually illuminating as the UV sterilization process progresses. In the second stage, the compressor status can be used to determine whether to enter the third stage. For example, the compressor's operating status (running or off) can be obtained. When the compressor is off, the process transitions from the second stage to the third stage.

[0125] For example, if the drying program is a timed program, the second stage can correspond to the program default setting stage. The program default setting stage can be understood as running the corresponding drying time after the drying program is selected. At this time, post-drying treatment can be performed on the clothes; that is, the moisture content of the clothes is much lower than in the user-added time stage, and after a certain drying time, the clothes are dry. In the program default setting stage, UV sterilization or simultaneous UV sterilization and oxygen sterilization can be performed. For UV sterilization, the progress of the second sterilization operation can be indicated. For example, a UV progress indicator ring can be set, gradually lighting up during the UV sterilization operation to indicate its progress. In the second stage, the compressor status can be used to determine whether to enter the third stage. For example, the compressor's operating status can be obtained, including running and off. When the compressor is off, the process transitions from the second stage to the third stage.

[0126] 304. Enter the third stage and perform at least a third sterilization operation on the clothes inside the inner drum.

[0127] The third sterilization operation can be steam sterilization. Steam sterilization can be performed after the compressor is turned off, that is, after the second stage, for a short period of time; this stage can be called the third stage. The compressor is used to drive the heating of the inner drum. Steam sterilization requires the heating element to heat the water to generate high-temperature steam, such as 70℃-100℃. If the heating element and the compressor work simultaneously, it will increase the power consumption of the garment processing equipment. Therefore, the steam sterilization operation can be used after the compressor is turned off. Of course, this does not limit steam sterilization to only after the compressor is turned off; in some embodiments, steam sterilization can also be performed while the compressor is running.

[0128] Of course, in the third stage, you can also choose to perform the first and third sterilization operations, the second and third sterilization operations, or the first, second and third sterilization operations simultaneously. There are no restrictions here, and you can choose according to your needs.

[0129] For example, when the third sterilization operation, i.e., the steam sterilization operation, is completed, a notification can be displayed. For instance, when the steam sterilization operation is completed, a steam indicator light can be set, and the completion of the steam sterilization operation can be indicated by controlling the steam indicator light to be fully lit. Steam sterilization can run for a preset duration, such as 5 minutes, and during the steam sterilization process, the steam indicator light can also be controlled to display the progress of the steam sterilization.

[0130] 305. Entering the fourth stage, the clothes in the inner drum are cooled, and at least the first sterilization operation is performed on the clothes in the inner drum.

[0131] The fourth stage, corresponding to the cooling stage, marks the completion of the drying process. At this point, the compressor can be turned off, meaning hot air circulation stops, and the inner drum of the garment processing equipment undergoes natural cooling. The cooling stage can have a preset duration. After the cooling stage ends, the user can open the door of the garment processing equipment and remove the clothes from the inner drum. Alternatively, a program can be set in the middle or later stages of the cooling stage, where the door of the garment processing equipment can be left unlocked or left unlocked, allowing the user to open the door and remove the clothes. Because the temperature of the clothes inside the drum will not be too high at this time, it ensures that the user will not be burned.

[0132] To ensure effective sterilization, at least the first sterilization step, namely oxygen sterilization, can be performed on the clothes inside the inner drum in the fourth stage. For example, the fourth stage can perform the first sterilization step (oxygen sterilization), or simultaneously perform the first sterilization step (oxygen sterilization) and the second sterilization step (ultraviolet sterilization). Combining different sterilization steps can enhance the sterilization effect.

[0133] Of course, since sufficient sterilization has been performed in the first, second, and third stages, sterilization may not be necessary in the fourth stage.

[0134] In the control method of the clothing processing equipment provided in this application embodiment, by performing different sterilization operations on different operating stages during the drying process, the sterilization efficiency and sterilization effect can be improved. Different sterilization operations are adapted to different operating stages, and different operating stages and suitable sterilization operations work together to save electricity.

[0135] To facilitate better implementation of the control method for the garment processing equipment according to the embodiments of this application, the embodiments of this application also provide a control device for the garment processing equipment. Please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the control device for a garment processing apparatus provided in an embodiment of this application. The control device 400 for the garment processing apparatus may include an acquisition unit 401 and an execution unit 402. The garment processing apparatus may be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo; the dryer may be a venting dryer, a heat pump dryer, or a condenser dryer, etc. The garment processing apparatus may include an inner drum for holding garments.

[0136] The acquisition unit 401 is used to acquire the drying instructions of the clothing processing equipment.

[0137] The execution unit 402 is used to dry the clothes in the inner drum according to the drying command, and to perform different sterilization operations at different stages of the drying process.

[0138] In some embodiments, the execution unit 402 is further configured to:

[0139] The sterilization process includes a first sterilization process and a second sterilization process, which are two of the following: oxygen sterilization, ultraviolet sterilization, and steam sterilization.

[0140] The clothes inside the inner drum are dried according to the drying command. During different operating stages of the drying process, the first sterilization operation and the second sterilization operation are performed.

[0141] In some embodiments, the execution unit 402 is further configured to:

[0142] The sterilization process includes a first sterilization process, a second sterilization process, and a third sterilization process, which are respectively one of oxygen sterilization, ultraviolet sterilization, and steam sterilization.

[0143] In the first stage, the clothes inside the inner drum are heated to the first working temperature, and the first sterilization operation is performed on the clothes inside the inner drum.

[0144] In the second stage, the clothes in the inner drum are cooled to the second working temperature, which is lower than the first working temperature. At least a second sterilization operation is performed on the clothes in the inner drum.

[0145] In the third stage, at least a third sterilization process is performed on the clothes inside the inner drum;

[0146] In the fourth stage, the clothes inside the inner drum are cooled, and at least the first sterilization operation is performed on the clothes inside the inner drum.

[0147] All of the above technical solutions can be combined in any way to form optional embodiments of this application, and will not be described in detail here.

[0148] As can be seen from the above, in the control device 400 of the clothing processing equipment provided in this application embodiment, the drying command of the clothing processing equipment is obtained by the acquisition unit 401, and the execution unit 402 dries the clothes in the inner drum according to the drying command, and performs different sterilization operations at different operating stages during the drying process. This can improve the sterilization efficiency and sterilization effect. Different sterilization operations are adapted to different operating stages, and different operating stages are coordinated with suitable sterilization operations, which can save electricity.

[0149] Accordingly, this application also provides a garment processing device, which can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. The dryer can be a venting dryer, a heat pump dryer, or a condenser dryer, etc. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a first structure of the garment processing device provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 6 This is a second structural schematic diagram of the garment processing device provided in an embodiment of this application. The garment processing device 500 may include an inner drum 501, a sterilization component 502, a housing 504, and a heating component 505. Of course, the garment processing device 500 may also include other structural components, such as a display panel and a rotating shaft (not shown in the figure), which are not specifically limited here.

[0150] The inner drum 501 is used to hold clothing for washing, drying, and care. The outer shell 504 has a receiving space, within which the inner drum 501 is disposed. The outer shell 504 can be understood as the encapsulation structure of the clothing handling device 500, and a display panel, operation buttons, etc., can be installed on it. The outer shell 504 may also have an opening, and the clothing handling device 500 may also include a door 503, which is rotatably connected to the outer shell 504 to close or expose the opening.

[0151] Heating component 505 is used to heat the inner drum 501 and form a heat cycle. For example, in a heat pump dryer, the air in the dryer is heated into dry hot air by the heat energy generated by the compression and decompression of the heat pump. The dry hot air passes through the wet clothes, and the residual moisture on the clothes absorbs heat, becoming humid hot air. The humid hot air is then converted into dry cold air after passing through the condenser, and the water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets and is discharged. At this time, the dry cold air continues to be heated by the heat energy generated by the compression and decompression of the heat pump, participating in the entire drying process again and again, and so on, until the wet clothes are dried. When the heat pump dryer is running, like a regular air conditioner, it absorbs energy QA from the low-temperature ambient medium in the evaporator. It consumes some energy, namely, the compressor consumes QB, and the refrigerant circulation system releases heat QC in the condenser. QC = QA + QB, so the efficiency of the heat pump dryer is (QA + QB) / QB, while the heating efficiency of other heating devices is less than 1, so the heating efficiency of the heat pump dryer is much higher than that of other heating devices. The heating assembly 505 can be disposed within the receiving space of the housing 504. The heating assembly 505 may include a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, and a duct (not shown in the figure), the duct being disposed toward the inner cylinder 501, and the compressor, evaporator, condenser, and duct cooperating with each other to heat the inner cylinder 501 and form a heat exchange system.

[0152] The sterilization component 502 is used to perform sterilization operations. The sterilization component 502 may include an ultraviolet lamp 5021, a steam generator 5022, and an oxygen generator 5023. The ultraviolet lamp 5021 generates ultraviolet light, thereby performing ultraviolet sterilization on the clothes inside the inner drum 501. The ultraviolet lamp 5021 may be disposed on the housing 504 with an opening facing the inner drum 501. The steam generator 5022 generates high-temperature steam towards the inner drum 501 for steam sterilization; the steam generator 5022 may be disposed near the compressor. The oxygen generator 5023 generates negative ions or ozone molecules, thereby performing negative ion sterilization or ozone sterilization on the clothes inside the inner drum 501. The oxygen generator 5023 can be installed close to the inner drum 501. For example, the oxygen generator 5023 can be installed in the air duct of the heating component 505, so that negative ions or ozone molecules can be introduced into the inner drum 501 while hot air is delivered to the inner drum 501, which facilitates the sterilization of the clothes in the inner drum 501.

[0153] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7The structural block diagram of the garment processing device provided in this application embodiment shows that the garment processing device 500 may further include a processor 506 with one or more processing cores, a memory 507 with one or more computer-readable storage media, and a computer program stored in the memory 507 and executable on the processor 506.

[0154] The processor 506 is the control center of the garment processing equipment 500. It connects to various parts of the garment processing equipment 500 through various interfaces and lines. For example, the processor 506 can be electrically connected to the inner drum 501, heating component 505, ultraviolet lamp 5021, steam generator 5022 and oxygen generator 5023 respectively. By running or loading software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 507, and calling data stored in the memory 507, it executes various functions and processes data of the garment processing equipment 500, thereby monitoring the garment processing equipment 500 as a whole.
