Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of control methods for garment care machines, specifically to a garment care machine and its control method, control device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their demand for clothing care has increased significantly. Existing clothing care machines, such as garment steamers, require users to manually iron the clothes, which is labor-intensive and yields unsatisfactory ironing results. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a control method for a garment care machine that can automatically care for garments throughout the entire process, reducing the workload of users and providing better ironing results.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a control method for a garment care machine, comprising: receiving an automatic care instruction; running an automatic care mode to automatically care for the garment; wherein the automatic care mode sequentially includes a pre-treatment stage, an ironing and shaping stage, and a post-treatment stage.

[0005] The control method for the garment care machine provided in this invention allows the machine to operate in automatic care mode upon receiving an automatic care command, eliminating the need for manual operation by the user. This high degree of automation is convenient and practical, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the automatic care mode sequentially includes a pre-treatment stage, an ironing and shaping stage, and a post-treatment stage. In this automatic care mode, garments undergo pre-treatment before ironing and shaping, and post-treatment after ironing and shaping. Compared to a single ironing process, this three-stage care approach improves the garment care effect, further enhancing the user experience.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0007] Furthermore, the garment care machine includes a steam generator, a secondary heating pot connected to the steam generator, a water supply component for supplying water to the steam generator, and a gas supply component for supplying gas to the secondary heating pot, wherein the secondary heating pot is used to output steam; wherein, the pretreatment stage includes a humidity adjustment stage, in which the following operations are performed: controlling the steam generator and the secondary heating pot to heat up; and based on the steam generator heating up to meet preset conditions, turning on the water supply component and the gas supply component.

[0008] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the pretreatment stage includes a humidity adjustment stage, which can adjust the humidity of the clothes before ironing and shaping, thereby improving the care effect of the subsequent ironing and shaping stage.

[0009] On the other hand, water is first heated in the steam generator to generate steam. The steam generated by the steam generator is heated again in the secondary heating pot. The gas supplied by the gas supply component is also heated in the secondary heating pot and mixed with the steam, so that the secondary heating pot can spray high-temperature and high-pressure steam. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam can penetrate the fabric, realize the function of stretching the internal fibers of the fabric and shaping the fabric, and improve the ironing and shaping effect of the clothes.

[0010] Furthermore, the preset conditions include: the running time of the automatic care mode of the garment care machine is longer than the first preset time, and the temperature of the steam generator is greater than the first preset temperature.

[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by using "first preset duration + first preset temperature" as the opening condition for the water supply component and the gas supply component, it is ensured that the steam generator and the secondary heating pot have been fully preheated. At this time, opening the water supply component and the gas supply component can ensure that high temperature and high pressure steam can be generated subsequently, thereby improving the ironing and shaping effect on clothes.

[0012] Furthermore, controlling the heating operation of the steam generator and the secondary heating pot includes: controlling the steam generator to heat intermittently so that the temperature of the steam generator is maintained between a first preset temperature and a second preset temperature, wherein the second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature; and controlling the secondary heating pot to heat intermittently so that the temperature of the secondary heating pot is lower than a third preset temperature.

[0013] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme is that both the steam generator and the secondary heating pot are heated in an intermittent manner, which helps to avoid damage or safety accidents caused by excessively high temperatures in the steam generator and the secondary heating pot, and also avoids the steam temperature and pressure being affected by excessively low temperatures in the steam generator and the secondary heating pot.

[0014] Furthermore, the garment care machine also includes a garment gripping mechanism and a swinging mechanism. The garment gripping mechanism is used to grip the bottom of the garment, and the swinging mechanism is used to swing the top of the garment. During the ironing and shaping stage, the following operations are performed: controlling the steam generator and the secondary heating pot to continue heating; controlling the water supply component and the air supply component to continue operating; and activating the garment gripping mechanism and the swinging mechanism.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, during the ironing and shaping stage, the steam generator, secondary heating pot, water supply components, and air supply components continue to operate to ensure the continuous generation of high-temperature and high-pressure steam, thereby ironing the clothes. Furthermore, the garment gripping mechanism and the swinging mechanism are activated. The garment gripping mechanism is used to grip the bottom of the clothes, while the swinging mechanism is used to swing the top of the clothes, which is equivalent to the clothes being stretched and smoothed while swinging. The clothes can undergo centrifugal motion under the action of their own gravity, swinging force, and gripping force, which not only facilitates full contact between the clothes and the high-temperature and high-pressure steam but also efficiently smooths the clothes, thus achieving a better ironing and shaping effect.

[0016] Furthermore, the garment care machine includes a heating device and a sterilization device; wherein, the post-processing stage includes a drying and sterilization stage, in which the following operations are performed: turning on the heating device and the sterilization device; or the post-processing stage includes a drying stage, in which the following operations are performed: turning on the heating device; or the post-processing stage includes a sterilization stage, in which the following operations are performed: turning on the sterilization device.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are that the heating device can dry the clothes, remove the steam or water vapor left on the clothes during the ironing and shaping process, and ensure that the clothes can be worn and used in a short time; the sterilization device can sterilize and disinfect the clothes, reduce the risk of disease transmission through the clothes, and improve the cleanliness and hygiene of the clothes.

[0018] Furthermore, the control method also includes: receiving a single-function nursing instruction and running the corresponding single-function mode.

[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are that receiving single-function care instructions can significantly improve the practicality of garment care, enrich the functions of the garment care machine, and enhance the user experience. For garments requiring "pre-treatment + ironing and shaping + post-treatment," the automatic care mode can achieve complete garment care; for garments that do not require a complete care process, the single-function care mode can perform a specific function of care, reducing the cost and time of garment care.

[0020] Furthermore, the single-function nursing instruction includes any one or more of the following instructions: humidity adjustment instruction, ironing and shaping instruction, drying and disinfection instruction, drying instruction, and disinfection instruction; the single-function mode includes any one or more of the following modes: humidity adjustment mode, ironing and shaping mode, drying and disinfection mode, drying mode, and disinfection mode; wherein, the humidity adjustment mode includes a humidity adjustment stage, the ironing and shaping mode sequentially includes the pretreatment stage and the ironing and shaping stage, the drying and disinfection mode includes a drying and disinfection stage, the drying mode includes a drying stage, and the disinfection mode includes a disinfection stage.

[0021] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the single-function care command allows the garment care to perform only a specific mode. Through humidity adjustment commands, ironing and shaping commands, drying and disinfection commands, and drying and disinfection commands, the garment care machine can respectively operate in humidity adjustment mode, ironing and shaping mode, drying and disinfection mode, drying mode, and disinfection mode. These multiple single-function modes and automatic care modes are available for users to choose from, greatly expanding the range of choices available to users and making it easier to meet their different needs.

[0022] Furthermore, the end condition for the pre-processing stage is that the running time of the automatic care mode of the garment care machine reaches the second preset time; the end condition for the ironing and shaping stage is that the running time of the automatic care mode of the garment care machine reaches the third preset time, and the third preset time is longer than the second preset time; the end condition for the post-processing stage is that the running time of the automatic care mode of the garment care machine reaches the fourth preset time, and the fourth preset time is longer than the third preset time.

[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the end conditions of the pretreatment stage, ironing and shaping stage and drying and disinfection stage are all limited by the current running time of the garment care machine, which helps to simplify the electronic control program, makes it easier for users to grasp the required time for garment care, and can also avoid damage to the garments due to excessive time in a certain stage, effectively protecting the integrity of the garments during the care process.

[0024] Furthermore, the control method also includes: performing a shutdown operation after the post-processing stage of the automatic care mode is completed.

[0025] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that after the drying and disinfection stage of the automatic care mode is completed, the garment care is considered complete, and the garment care machine is automatically turned off, avoiding the waste of electricity by keeping the garment care machine in standby mode for a long time and avoiding the reduction of the service life of the garment care machine by keeping it on for a long time.

[0026] Furthermore, the control method also includes: acquiring parameter setting information and adjusting the operating parameters of the garment care machine according to the parameter setting information.

[0027] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that different garments have different characteristics such as material, size, and weight, and therefore different care needs. Thus, users can set corresponding parameters according to their specific garment care needs, causing the garment care machine to adjust its parameters accordingly, thereby meeting the user's personalized usage requirements.

[0028] Furthermore, the parameter setting information includes any one or more of the following parameters: running time, steam temperature, and steam pressure.

[0029] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are that the runtime affects the garment care effect, the operating cost of the garment care machine, and the user's time cost. Therefore, personalized settings for the runtime help meet different user needs. Furthermore, steam temperature and steam pressure have a significant impact on the garment care effect. Different garments have different characteristics such as material, size, and weight, and therefore require different steam temperature and pressure. Thus, personalized settings for steam temperature and steam pressure also help meet different user needs.

[0030] This invention also provides a control device for a garment care machine, including a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the computer program is executed by the processor, it implements the steps of the aforementioned control method.

[0031] This invention also provides a garment care machine, including the aforementioned control device.

[0032] This invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program executable on a processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, implements the steps of the aforementioned control method for a garment care machine.

[0045] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a garment care machine, comprising:

[0047] Step S100: Received automatic care instruction;

[0048] Step S200: Run the automatic care mode to automatically care for the clothes; wherein, the automatic care mode includes a pre-treatment stage, an ironing and shaping stage and a post-treatment stage in sequence.

[0049] The control method for the garment care machine provided in this embodiment of the invention allows the garment care machine 1 to operate in automatic care mode immediately upon receiving an automatic care command. This eliminates the need for manual operation by the user, resulting in a high degree of automation, convenience, and improved user experience. Furthermore, the automatic care mode sequentially includes a pre-treatment stage, an ironing and shaping stage, and a post-treatment stage. In this automatic care mode, the garment undergoes pre-treatment before ironing and shaping, and post-treatment after ironing and shaping. Compared to a single ironing process, this three-stage care approach enhances the garment care effect, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0050] The pretreatment stage involves processing clothing before ironing and shaping. This helps prevent damage from high-temperature steam during the subsequent ironing and shaping process and also improves the ironing and shaping effect. For example, for clothing with excessive moisture, pretreatment can involve drying or blow-drying to reduce the moisture content. For clothing that is too dry, pretreatment can involve steam humidification to replenish moisture and appropriately increase the moisture content, thus improving the effectiveness of high-temperature steam ironing and shaping. For clothing that has not been fully unfolded, pretreatment can involve shaking it to allow it to spread out, facilitating full contact between the clothing and steam during the ironing and shaping stage.

[0051] The ironing and shaping stage is used to iron and shape the garments. It's worth noting that existing garment care machines 1 can only iron garments and cannot achieve a shaping effect. Because garments absorb steam and experience no external force other than their own weight, this insufficient external force prevents garment care machines 1 from efficiently smoothing out wrinkles caused by washing and storage. However, the ironing and shaping stage in this solution can iron and shape the garments, thus further improving the user experience.

[0052] The post-processing stage allows for further treatment of ironed and shaped garments, enriching their care functions and enhancing the user experience. For example, drying ironed and shaped garments allows for immediate wear after care, reducing waiting time; disinfecting and sterilizing improves cleanliness and hygiene; and applying aromatherapy enhances the fragrance of the garments.

[0053] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the garment care machine 1 includes a steam generator 161, a secondary heating pot 162 connected to the steam generator 161, a water supply component 171 for supplying water to the steam generator 161, and an air supply component 172 for supplying air to the secondary heating pot 162. The secondary heating pot 162 is used to output steam.

[0054] The pretreatment stage includes a humidity conditioning stage, in which the following operations are performed:

[0055] Control the heating operation of the steam generator and secondary heating boiler 162;

[0056] Once the steam generator has heated the steam to meet the preset conditions, the water supply component 171 and the gas supply component 172 are turned on.

[0057] In this embodiment, the pretreatment stage includes a humidity adjustment stage, which can adjust the humidity of the clothes before ironing and shaping, thereby improving the care effect of the subsequent ironing and shaping stage.

[0058] On the other hand, water is first heated in the steam generator 161 to generate steam. The steam generated by the steam generator 161 is heated again in the secondary heating pot 162. The gas supplied by the gas supply component 172 is also heated in the secondary heating pot 162 and mixed with the steam, so that the secondary heating pot 162 can spray out high-temperature and high-pressure steam. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam can penetrate the fabric, realize the function of stretching the internal fibers of the fabric and shaping the fabric, and improve the ironing and shaping effect of the garment.

[0059] Furthermore, the water supply component 171 and the air supply component 172 are only activated when the steam generator 161 heats up to meet the preset conditions. This avoids situations where insufficient preheating during the first heating process leads to water dripping from the steam outlet, or where the steam generator 161 and the secondary heating pot 162 fail to reach the effective heating temperature. Therefore, the pretreatment stage ensures that the steam generator 161 and the secondary heating pot 162 are fully preheated, which helps to improve the steam temperature and steam pressure during the ironing and shaping stage. This prevents low-temperature, low-pressure steam from reaching the surface of the clothing or from partially condensing into wet steam upon reaching the surface, thereby improving the care effect on the clothing.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the preset conditions include: the running time of the current automatic care mode of the garment care machine 1 is greater than a first preset time, and the temperature of the steam generator 161 is greater than a first preset temperature.

[0061] Using "first preset duration + first preset temperature" as the activation conditions for water supply component 171 and air supply component 172 ensures that steam generator 161 and secondary heating pot 162 are fully preheated. At this time, turning on water supply component 171 and air supply component 172 can ensure that high temperature and high pressure steam can be generated subsequently, thereby improving the ironing and shaping effect on clothes.

[0062] The water supply component 171 may include a water pump to pump water from the water storage tank 173 into the steam generator 161. The steam supply component 172 may include an air pump or a blower.

[0063] In one exemplary embodiment, controlling the heating operation of the steam generator 161 and the secondary heating pot 162 includes:

[0064] The steam generator 161 is controlled to heat intermittently so that the temperature of the steam generator 161 is maintained between a first preset temperature and a second preset temperature, wherein the second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature.

[0065] The secondary heating pot 162 is controlled to heat intermittently so that the temperature of the secondary heating pot 162 is lower than the third preset temperature.

[0066] Both the steam generator 161 and the secondary heating pot 162 are heated intermittently to avoid damage caused by excessively high temperatures, and also to prevent damage to clothing caused by excessively high steam temperatures provided by the secondary heating pot 162.

[0067] The first preset temperature serves as the lower limit of the temperature range for the steam generator 161, and the second preset temperature serves as the upper limit. The temperature of the steam generator 161 must not be lower than the first preset temperature to avoid the generated steam being too cold, which would affect the pre-treatment effect of the clothes and the subsequent ironing and shaping effect. The temperature of the steam generator 161 must not be higher than the second preset temperature to avoid the danger of the steam generator 161 overheating. The third preset temperature serves as the upper limit of the temperature range for the secondary heating pot 162 to prevent the steam provided by the secondary heating pot 162 from being too hot and damaging the clothes, and also to prevent the secondary heating pot 162 from overheating and causing danger. The temperature of the emitted steam can be adjusted by adjusting the temperature of the secondary heating pot 162.

[0068] The temperature of the steam generator 161 can be the temperature of the heater of the steam generator 161, or the temperature of other parts of the steam generator 161. The temperature of the secondary heating pot 162 can be the temperature at the steam outlet of the secondary heating pot 162, or the temperature of other parts of the secondary heating pot 162.

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the garment care machine 1 also includes a garment gripping mechanism 15 and a swinging mechanism 14. The garment gripping mechanism 15 is used to grip the bottom of the garment, and the swinging mechanism 14 is used to swing the top of the garment.

[0070] During the ironing and shaping stage, the following operations are performed:

[0071] The steam generator 161 and the secondary heating pot 162 are controlled to continue heating operation;

[0072] The water supply component 171 and the gas supply component 172 are kept running.

[0073] Activate the garment-grabbing mechanism 15 and the swing mechanism 14.

[0074] During the ironing and shaping stage, the steam generator 161, the secondary heating pot 162, the water supply component, and the air supply component 172 continue to operate to ensure the continuous generation of high-temperature, high-pressure steam, thereby ironing the clothes. Furthermore, the garment gripping mechanism 15 and the swinging mechanism 14 are activated. The garment gripping mechanism 15 is used to grip the bottom of the clothes, while the swinging mechanism 14 is used to swing the top of the clothes. This is equivalent to the clothes being stretched and smoothed while swinging. The clothes can undergo centrifugal motion under the action of their own gravity, swinging force, and gripping force, which is conducive to full contact between the clothes and the high-temperature, high-pressure steam, and can also efficiently smooth the clothes, thus achieving a better ironing and shaping effect.

[0075] Furthermore, the garment gripping mechanism 15 and the swinging mechanism 14 are activated, including: first activating the garment gripping mechanism 15, and then activating the swinging mechanism 14. This facilitates the garment gripping mechanism to effectively grip the bottom of the garment, and then the garment, with its bottom gripped, swings with the swinging mechanism, thereby stretching and flattening it while swinging, achieving a better ironing and shaping effect.

[0076] The final ironing and shaping stage includes:

[0077] Control the water supply component and gas supply component 172 to stop operating;

[0078] Control the steam generator and secondary heating boiler 162 to stop operating;

[0079] Stop the control mechanism and the swing mechanism from operating.

[0080] The water supply and gas supply components 172 stop operating first, followed by the steam generator and secondary heating pot 162. This prevents residual water in the steam generator and avoids dripping water from the steam outlet. Finally, the garment gripping mechanism and the swing mechanism are turned off to ensure that the ironing and shaping effect is well maintained.

[0081] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8The garment gripping mechanism 15 and the swinging mechanism 14 are described below. Garment 32 is hung on the swinging mechanism 14, which includes a motor (not shown) and a swing arm (not shown). Driven by the motor, the swing arm swings back and forth inside the garment care machine 1, thereby causing the garment 32 to swing back and forth. The garment gripping mechanism 15 includes a fan (not shown), a suction grille 152, and an exhaust grille 151. When the fan operates, outside air 31 enters the fan through the suction grille 152 and is then discharged through the exhaust grille 151, forming an airflow circulation. The suction grille 152 is located below the swinging mechanism 14. When the garment 32 is suspended on the swinging mechanism 14, the hem of the garment 32 is near the suction grille 152. When the fan operates, the hem of the garment 32 is tightly adhered to the suction grille 152. Two suction grilles 152 can be provided, and the two suction grilles 152 are angled to form a V-shaped structure. During the care process, the swing mechanism 14 causes the garment 32 to swing back and forth, while the wind force acts on the bottom of the garment 32, adhering the hem of the garment 32 to the suction grille 152. This is equivalent to the garment 32 being stretched and straightened while swinging. The garment 32 can undergo centrifugal movement under its own weight and the downward pulling force, efficiently smoothing the garment 32. Because the wind force is used to hold the hem of the garment 32, the garment holding mechanism can also be called a wind-powered garment holding mechanism. It can fix the bottom of the garment 32 to a certain extent without causing damage to the garment 32.

[0082] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the garment care machine 1 includes a heating device 181 and a sterilization device 182.

[0083] In a specific example, the post-processing stage includes a drying and sterilization stage. In the drying and sterilization stage, such as... Figure 5 As shown, perform the following operations: turn on the heating device and the sterilization device 182.

[0084] In another specific example, the post-processing stage includes a drying stage. During the drying stage, the following operation is performed: the heating device is turned on.

[0085] In yet another specific example, the post-processing stage includes a disinfection stage. During the disinfection stage, the following operation is performed: the sterilization device is activated.

[0086] The heating device 181 can dry the clothes, removing the steam or water vapor left on the clothes during the ironing and shaping process, ensuring that the clothes can be worn and used in a short time; the sterilization device 182 can sterilize and disinfect the clothes, reducing the risk of disease transmission through the clothes and improving the cleanliness and hygiene of the clothes.

[0087] In the post-processing stage, the devices required for controlling the ironing and shaping stage are shut down, such as the steam generator 161, the secondary heating pot 162, the water supply component 171, and the air supply component 172. When the post-processing stage includes a drying and disinfection stage, the clothes are dried and disinfected using the heating device 181 and the sterilization device 182. When the post-processing stage includes a drying stage, the clothes are dried using the heating device 181. When the post-processing stage includes a disinfection stage, the clothes are disinfected using the heating device 181 during the drying stage. Therefore, the automatic care mode can also be subdivided into three modes to meet different user needs, allowing users to choose the appropriate mode based on their requirements.

[0088] The heating device 181 may include, but is not limited to, a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heating device 181, a heating tube, a heating wire, etc. The sterilization device 182 may include, but is not limited to, an ultraviolet lamp, an ozone generator, etc.

[0089] In one exemplary embodiment, the control method further includes: receiving a single-function care instruction and running the corresponding single-function mode.

[0090] Receiving single-function care commands can significantly improve the practicality of garment care, enrich the functions of the garment care machine 1, and enhance the user experience. For garments requiring "pre-treatment + ironing and shaping + post-treatment," the automatic care mode can achieve complete garment care; for garments that do not require a complete care process, the single-function care mode can perform a specific function, reducing the cost and time of garment care.

[0091] Upon receiving an automatic care command, the garment care machine 1 operates in automatic care mode, which can perform a complete pre-treatment, ironing, shaping, and post-treatment process on the garments. Automatic care mode can be used for most garments. For garments that do not require complete pre-treatment, ironing, shaping, and post-treatment, a single-function care command can be used to perform only one function, significantly reducing the time required for garment care.

[0092] In one exemplary embodiment, a single-function care instruction includes any one or more of the following instructions: humidity adjustment instruction, ironing and shaping instruction, drying and disinfection instruction, drying instruction, and disinfection instruction.

[0093] The single-function mode includes any one or more of the following modes: humidity adjustment mode, ironing and shaping mode, drying and disinfection mode, drying mode, and disinfection mode.

[0094] The humidity control mode includes a humidity control stage. The ironing and shaping mode includes a pretreatment stage and an ironing and shaping stage. The drying and disinfection mode includes a drying and disinfection stage. The drying mode includes a drying stage. The disinfection mode includes a disinfection stage.

[0095] Single-function care commands allow garment care to operate in only a specific mode. Through humidity adjustment, ironing and shaping, drying and disinfection commands, the garment care machine 1 can respectively run in humidity adjustment mode, ironing and shaping mode, drying and disinfection mode, drying mode, and disinfection mode. These multiple single-function modes and automatic care modes are available for users to choose from, greatly expanding the range of options and easily meeting diverse user needs.

[0096] The humidity control mode includes a humidity adjustment phase. This mode can dry or blow-dry clothes with excessive humidity to reduce their moisture content; and it can steam-humidify clothes that are too dry to replenish moisture and appropriately increase their moisture content. The humidity control mode can adjust the humidity of clothes that are either too wet or too dry to care for them.

[0097] The ironing and shaping process includes a pre-treatment stage and an ironing and shaping stage. Pre-treated garments are then ironed and shaped to achieve better ironing and shaping results.

[0098] In the drying and sterilization mode, both the heating device 181 and the sterilization device 182 are activated. In drying mode, heating device 181 is activated, and sterilization device 182 is deactivated. In sterilization mode, sterilization device 182 is activated, and heating device 181 is deactivated. Users can freely choose the mode according to their garment care needs during use.

[0099] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the end condition for the pre-processing stage is that the running time of the automatic care mode of the garment care machine 1 reaches the second preset time. The end condition for the ironing and shaping stage is that the running time of the automatic care mode of the garment care machine 1 reaches the third preset time, which is longer than the second preset time. The end condition for the post-processing stage is that the running time of the automatic care mode of the garment care machine 1 reaches the fourth preset time, which is longer than the third preset time.

[0100] The termination conditions for the pretreatment stage, ironing and shaping stage, and drying and disinfection stage are all limited by the current running time of the garment care machine 1. This simplifies the electronic control program, makes it easier for users to control the required time for garment care, and also avoids damage to the garments due to excessive time in a certain stage, effectively protecting the integrity of the garments during the care process.

[0101] In automatic care mode, the first preset time is the total time of the pretreatment stage; the second preset time minus the first preset time is the total time of the ironing and shaping stage; and the third preset time minus the second preset time is the total time of the drying and sterilization stage. It should be understood that in single-function mode, since the drying and sterilization mode does not involve pretreatment or ironing and shaping, the runtime of the drying and sterilization stage may not exceed the runtime of the ironing and shaping stage.

[0102] After the garment care machine enters automatic care mode and runs for the second preset time, the pre-treatment stage ends. This avoids damage to the garments due to excessive heating during the pre-treatment stage, and also avoids increasing the cost and time of garment care due to excessive pre-treatment time. After the machine runs for the third preset time, the ironing and shaping stage ends. This avoids damage to the garments due to excessive heating during the ironing and shaping stage, and also avoids increasing the cost and time of garment care due to excessive ironing and shaping time. After the machine runs for the fourth preset time, the post-treatment stage ends. This avoids damage to the garments due to prolonged drying or sterilization, and also avoids increasing the cost and time of garment care due to excessive drying or sterilization time.

[0103] It is understandable that the current running time of garment care machine 1 refers to the running time of the current automatic care mode of garment care machine 1.

[0104] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control method also includes: performing a shutdown operation after the post-processing stage of the automatic care mode is completed.

[0105] After the drying and disinfection stage of the automatic care mode is completed, the garment care is finished. The garment care machine 1 will then automatically turn off to avoid wasting energy by leaving it in standby mode for a long time and to prevent the garment care machine 1 from being turned on for a long time, which would reduce its service life.

[0106] In addition, after a single function mode is completed, the garment care machine 1 can also be controlled to automatically turn off, such as after the humidity adjustment mode, ironing and shaping mode, drying and disinfection mode, drying mode, and disinfection mode are completed, the garment care machine 1 can be controlled to turn off.

[0107] It should be understood that in practical applications, after the drying and disinfection stage is completed, the garment care machine 1 can be turned off after a certain period of time. During this time, ventilation and heat dissipation can be carried out inside the garment care machine 1 to prevent the clothes from being exposed to high temperature residual heat for a long time, and to prevent high temperature steam from being in the garment care machine 1 for a long time, thus protecting the clothes and the garment care machine 1 from damage.

[0108] In one exemplary embodiment, the control method further includes: acquiring parameter setting information and adjusting the operating parameters of the garment care machine 1 according to the parameter setting information.

[0109] Different garments have different characteristics such as material, size, and weight, and therefore require different care. Therefore, users can set corresponding parameters according to their specific garment care needs, causing the garment care machine 1 to adjust accordingly to meet their personalized usage requirements.

[0110] Of course, users can also choose the preset program for clothing care without making personalized settings.

[0111] In one exemplary embodiment, the parameter setting information includes any one or more of the following parameters: running time, steam temperature, and steam pressure.

[0112] Running time affects the garment care effect, the operating cost of the garment care machine, and the user's time cost. Therefore, personalized settings for running time can better meet different user needs. Steam temperature and steam pressure also have a significant impact on the garment care effect. Different garments have different characteristics such as material, size, and weight, and therefore require different steam temperature and pressure. Thus, personalized settings for steam temperature and pressure can also better meet different user needs.

[0113] The running time, steam temperature, and steam pressure of each stage in the garment care machine 1 can be adjusted, which improves the practicality of the garment care machine 1. Multiple sets of parameters can be set according to different types of clothing to improve the care effect of the garment care machine 1 on different types of clothing.

[0114] It is worth noting that runtime includes, but is not limited to: the runtime of each stage in automatic care mode, the total runtime of automatic care mode, and the runtime of a single functional mode. Steam temperature refers to the temperature of the steam outlet during the ironing and shaping stage. Steam pressure refers to the pressure of the steam outlet during the ironing and shaping stage.

The garment gripping mechanism 15 is used to grip the bottom of the garment, and the swinging mechanism 14 is used to swing the top of the garment. The control device 2 is connected to the garment gripping mechanism 15 and the swinging mechanism 14.

[0139] This invention also provides a garment care machine 1, which includes the aforementioned control device 2, and thus has all the beneficial effects of any of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0140] This invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program executable on a processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, implements the steps of the aforementioned control method for a garment care machine.

[0141] In one illustrative embodiment, the computer-readable storage medium may be a non-transient computer-readable storage medium.

[0167] Step S140: The heating device and the sterilization device stop working;

[0168] Finish.

[0169] The working principle of this garment care machine 1 is as follows:

[0170] The control logic of the automatic care mode of the garment care machine includes three working processes: garment humidity adjustment, garment ironing and shaping, and garment drying and disinfection. These processes are performed sequentially throughout the entire garment care process. In other words, the automatic care mode includes the humidity adjustment stage, the ironing and shaping stage, and the drying and disinfection stage in sequence.

[0171] In this process, both the humidity regulation of clothing and the ironing and shaping of clothing require heating by the steam generator 161 and the secondary heating pot 162. The water supply component 171 and the gas supply component 172 need to be turned on when the temperature of the steam generator 161 meets certain conditions (i.e., the temperature of the steam generator 161 reaches the first preset temperature). In order to prevent the steam generator 161 from being insufficiently preheated during the first heating process, resulting in water dripping from the steam outlet and the hot pot temperature failing to reach the effective heating temperature, the first opening time of the water supply component 171 and the gas supply component 172 is constrained (i.e., the first preset duration).

[0172] The temperature and pressure of the steam at the steam outlet are mainly controlled by adjusting the pumping ratio of the water pump (i.e., water supply component 171), the operation of the air pump (i.e., air supply component 172), and the temperature of the secondary heating boiler 162. The steam generated by the steam generator 161 and the air supplied by the air supply component 172 are reheated in the secondary heating boiler 162, thereby further increasing the steam outlet temperature and pressure.

[0173] When the machine's total running time is less than the second preset duration, it is in the clothing humidity adjustment stage. When the second preset duration < the total running time < the third preset duration, the machine enters the ironing and shaping stage. During the clothing ironing and shaping stage, the garment gripping mechanism 15 and the swing mechanism 14 are activated, and their activation is mainly controlled by time (i.e., the second preset duration).

[0174] When the third preset duration is less than the machine's total operating time and less than the fourth preset duration, the machine enters the clothes drying and disinfection mode. In this mode, only the PTC heating element needs to be turned on for drying, the ultraviolet lamp needs to be turned on for sterilization and disinfection, and the other components need to be turned off.

[0175] When the machine has been running for the fourth preset time, it indicates that the entire garment care process has been completed, and the system will automatically shut down.

[0176] The temperature and time involved in the entire garment care process can be set differently for different garments. Different parameters can be set according to different functions, and users can also make different settings according to their own needs. For example, they can only perform one or more of the following functions: humidity adjustment, ironing and shaping, drying, and disinfection. The running time for each function can also be set in a personalized way.

[0177] In summary, the control method for the garment care machine provided in this embodiment of the invention allows the garment care machine to operate in automatic care mode immediately upon receiving an automatic care instruction, requiring no further user intervention, making it convenient and practical. The automatic care mode sequentially includes pre-treatment, ironing and shaping, and post-treatment stages, enabling pre-treatment of garments in different situations to improve the subsequent ironing and shaping effect, thereby enhancing the garment care effect of the garment care machine 1. After the garments are ironed and shaped, they are dried and disinfected to remove residual steam or moisture from the garments during the ironing and shaping process, ensuring that the user can use the garments within a short time. Furthermore, disinfection kills bacteria and viruses on the garments, improving the user experience.
