Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to washing machines, and more specifically, to a control method for a clothes handling device and a clothes handling device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional washing machines only have a washing function. After washing clothes, users often find water stains remaining on the clothes, making them unsuitable for immediate wear. While washing machines have a spin-drying function, this doesn't completely remove moisture from clothes. Furthermore, the spin-drying function relies on high-speed rotation of the drum, using centrifugal force to remove water, often resulting in wrinkled clothes that look unsightly. Air-drying completely removes moisture, but this process is time-consuming. For users who urgently need their clothes, this lengthy process is unacceptable. This led to the development of dryers. Dryers quickly dry clothes, but having both a washing machine and a dryer in the same home is inconvenient and requires significant space.

[0003] There are increasingly more washer-dryer stacking machines on the market now, which combine the washing and drying functions of a washing machine and a dryer, allowing clothes to be dried quickly after washing. Even products from the same brand are mostly just two separate devices, a washing machine and a dryer, simply stacked together.

[0004] However, the following defects are common in existing technologies:

[0005] There is no correlation between the running settings and operation, especially when two machines are running at the same time, the noise and vibration have a cumulative effect, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0006] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a control method and a clothing processing device, so that when the washing machine in the clothing processing device is executing a high-power program, the dryer executes a priority program first, and at the same time the washing machine reduces the operating parameters of the high-power program, thereby solving the problem of high noise when the washing machine and dryer in the clothing processing device are working at the same time, and also improving power efficiency.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] A control method for a clothing handling device, the clothing handling device including at least a dryer and a washing machine stacked vertically, the dryer including a priority program, the washing machine including a high-power program, the method determining whether the washing machine is executing a high-power program before the dryer executes the priority program, if so, the dryer normally executes the priority program and the washing machine reduces the operating parameters of the high-power program; if not, the washing machine and dryer normally execute the program.

[0010] Furthermore, the dryer also includes a non-priority program. Before the dryer executes the non-priority program, it determines whether the washing machine is executing a high-power program. If so, the dryer executes the non-priority program with low operating parameters, while the washing machine executes the high-power program normally. If not, both the washing machine and the dryer execute the program normally.

[0011] Furthermore, before the dryer executes both the priority program and the non-priority program simultaneously, it determines whether the washing machine is executing a high-power program. If so, the dryer executes the priority program normally and the non-priority program with low operating parameters; at the same time, the washing machine reduces the operating parameters of the high-power program. If not, the dryer executes the priority program normally and the non-priority program with low operating parameters. After the dryer finishes executing the priority program, the non-priority program returns to the normal operating parameters, and the washing machine executes the program normally.

[0012] Furthermore, after the dryer executes the non-priority program with low operating parameters, it continuously judges whether the high-power program executed by the washing machine reduces the power and does not exceed the preset speed. If so, the dryer restores the non-priority program to the normal operating parameters; if not, the dryer continues to execute the non-priority program with low operating parameters, and the washing machine executes the high-power program normally.

[0013] Furthermore, the dryer is also equipped with a water level sensor to detect the water level. Before the dryer executes the priority program, it needs to detect the water level and determine the order of the dryer and washing machine's execution programs based on the detection result and the program currently being executed by the washing machine.

[0014] Furthermore, the washing machine also includes a drainage program. If the dryer detects that the water level exceeds the preset level before executing the priority program, and the washing machine is executing the drainage program at the same time, the dryer and the washing machine execute the priority program and the drainage program simultaneously, respectively.

[0015] If the water level is not exceeded and the washing machine is executing the drainage program, the dryer will execute the priority program normally, and the washing machine will reduce the operating parameters of the drainage program.

[0016] Furthermore, if several clothes dryers are executing priority programs before the washing machine executes the high-power program, then the dryer will execute the priority program normally, while the washing machine will execute the high-power program with low operating parameters. After the dryer finishes executing the priority program, the washing machine will restore the high-power program to the normal operating parameters.

[0017] Before the washing machine executes the high-power program, several dryers are executing non-priority programs. The washing machine then executes the high-power program normally, while the dryers reduce the operating parameters of the non-priority programs. After the washing machine finishes executing the high-power program, the dryers restore the non-priority programs to their normal operating parameters.

[0018] Furthermore, before the washing machine executes the high-power program, if several washing machines simultaneously execute priority programs and non-priority programs, the dryer will execute the priority program normally, reducing the operating parameters of the non-priority program. At the same time, the washing machine will execute the high-power program with low operating parameters. After the dryer's priority program ends, the washing machine will restore the high-power program to the normal operating parameters, and the dryer will continue to execute the non-priority program with low operating parameters. After the washing machine's high-power program ends, it will return to the normal operating parameters.

[0019] Furthermore, the high-power program of the washing machine is the spin-drying program, the priority program of the dryer is the draining program, and the non-priority program is the drying program;

[0020] Preferably, the dryer executing a non-priority program with low operating parameters or reducing the operating parameters of the non-priority program means that the direct drive motor driving the dryer drum rotates at a low speed or reduces the speed of the direct drive motor.

[0021] The present invention also describes a garment processing device, wherein the garment processing device uses the control method of the garment processing device described above.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0023] 1. When the washing machine in the clothes handling unit is running a high-power program, the dryer's priority program runs normally. At the same time, the washing machine's high-power program reduces operating parameters, thereby avoiding resonance between the washing machine and the dryer, reducing operating noise, and providing users with a better user experience.

[0024] 2. When the washing machine reduces its high-power program, the dryer's non-priority program is restored to its normal operating parameters. This ensures that at least one of the dryer or washing machine is always operating normally without stopping, improving work efficiency, reducing noise, and enhancing the user experience.

[0025] 3. The priority program of the dryer has a short running time. Therefore, the priority program of the dryer will be executed normally, while other programs will reduce their operating parameters to avoid affecting the priority program. At the same time, the washing machine reduces the operating parameters of the high-power program, and the dryer executes the non-priority program with low operating parameters, which improves the working efficiency of the clothes handling device and thus reduces noise.

The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, a control method for a clothing processing device is introduced. This device includes at least a dryer and a washing machine stacked vertically. The dryer includes a priority program, and the washing machine includes a high-power program. Before the dryer executes the priority program, it is determined whether the washing machine is already running a high-power program. If so, the dryer executes the priority program normally, and the washing machine reduces its high-power program operating parameters. If not, both the washing machine and the dryer execute their programs normally. The dryer's priority program has a short runtime, and the motor operates at high power during this process, resulting in significant vibration. Therefore, to improve efficiency and reduce noise, when the dryer needs to execute the priority program, it executes normally without affecting the washing machine's operation. Simultaneously, the washing machine's high-power program reduces its power. This ensures that at least one of the devices (dryer or washing machine) is running a program with high vibration, avoiding resonance and reducing noise. Furthermore, the washing machine does not stop operating while the dryer is executing the priority program normally, further improving efficiency.

[0038] like Figure 2As shown in the embodiment of the invention, the dryer also includes a non-priority program. Before executing the non-priority program, the dryer determines whether the washing machine is executing a high-power program. If so, the dryer executes the non-priority program with low operating parameters, while the washing machine normally executes the high-power program. If not, both the washing machine and the dryer execute their programs normally. Through this setting, the non-priority program of the dryer is prioritized after the high-power program of the washing machine. Furthermore, the non-priority program of the dryer has a relatively long execution time. Therefore, to avoid affecting work efficiency, the dryer executes the non-priority program with low operating parameters, while the washing machine normally executes the high-power program. This reduces the vibration amplitude of the dryer and avoids resonance between the dryer and the washing machine.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the dryer can also execute a priority program and a non-priority program simultaneously. Before executing the priority program and the non-priority program, the dryer determines whether the washing machine is executing a high-power program. If so, the dryer executes the priority program normally and executes the non-priority program with low operating parameters; at the same time, the washing machine reduces the operating parameters of the high-power program. If not, the dryer executes the priority program normally and executes the non-priority program with low operating parameters. After the dryer finishes executing the priority program, the non-priority program returns to the normal operating parameters, and the washing machine executes the program normally. Because dryers generate significant vibration and noise when simultaneously running priority and non-priority programs, to avoid resonance with the washing machine, when the washing machine is running a high-power program, the dryer's priority program runs normally, while the non-priority program runs at lower parameters. Simultaneously, the washing machine reduces the operating parameters of the high-power program. This prevents resonance. Furthermore, the dryer's priority program is shorter, and after it completes, the washing machine's high-power program returns to normal operating parameters, improving efficiency. Conversely, if the washing machine is not running a high-power program, but the dryer is simultaneously running priority and non-priority programs, to reduce noise, the dryer runs the priority program normally, while the non-priority program runs at lower parameters. After the priority program ends, the non-priority program returns to normal operating parameters.

[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, after the dryer executes a non-priority program with low operating parameters, it continuously determines whether the high-power program executed by the washing machine reduces its power and does not exceed the preset speed. If so, the dryer restores the non-priority program to the normal operating parameters; if not, the dryer continues to execute the non-priority program with low operating parameters, and the washing machine executes the high-power program normally. The dryer's non-priority program is the drying program. Running the non-priority program with low operating parameters reduces the speed of the direct drive motor that drives the drying drum. Preferably, the speed of the direct drive motor is reduced to 1600 rpm, and the dryer will maintain this speed while drying clothes. Simultaneously, the washing machine's high-power program is the spin-drying program. The washing machine sets its preset speed to 400 rpm. During the spin-drying program, as it nears its end, the spin-drying motor's speed gradually decreases from high to low. When the spin-drying motor speed does not exceed 400 rpm, to improve efficiency, the dryer will restore the non-priority program to its normal operating parameters, i.e., restore the direct drive motor speed to 2600 rpm. However, if the washing machine is still running the high-power program, and the actual speed of the high-power program is not lower than the preset speed, the dryer will continue to operate at low parameters.

[0041] Among them, reducing the operating parameters of the washing machine refers to reducing the speed of the washing machine's spin-drying motor.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, a water level sensor is also installed inside the dryer. The water level sensor detects the water level inside the dryer before it is discharged. Before executing the priority program, the dryer needs to detect the water level, and the execution order of the dryer and washing machine programs is determined based on the detection result and the currently executing program of the washing machine. By setting a water level sensor, the amount of water to be discharged by the dryer can be determined. Furthermore, by combining the current executing program of the washing machine with the current executing program of the dryer, the execution order of the dryer and washing machine programs can be determined, which can improve work efficiency.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the washing machine also includes a drainage program. In this embodiment, the drainage program of the washing machine is executed before the spin-drying program; that is, before the spin-drying program, the washing water inside the washing machine needs to be drained. If the dryer detects that the water level exceeds a preset level before executing the priority program, and the washing machine is simultaneously executing the drainage program, then the dryer and washing machine execute the priority program and drainage program simultaneously, respectively. If the water level does not exceed the preset level, and the washing machine is simultaneously executing the drainage program, then the dryer normally executes the priority program, and the washing machine reduces the operating parameters of the drainage program. The dryer has a preset water level, which can determine the amount of water to be drained. By calculating the amount of water to be drained and combining this with the washing machine's drainage program, work efficiency can be improved.

[0044] For example, if the amount of water to be drained exceeds the preset level before the dryer starts its draining program, it means that the dryer will drain a large amount of water and the process will take a long time. In this case, if the washing machine is also running its draining program, the washing machine and the dryer can drain at the same time without reducing the power of one of the devices or pausing its operation, which would affect work efficiency. In addition, the washing machine produces less noise when draining, and running it at the same time as the dryer will not produce much noise either.

[0045] If the water level sensor detects that the water level is not higher than the preset water level before the dryer starts the drainage program, it means that the amount of water to be discharged by the dryer is small and the execution time is short. In order not to affect the work efficiency, the drainage power of the washing machine can be reduced. After the dryer finishes the drainage program, the washing machine will return to the normal drainage power.

[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, before the washing machine executes the high-power program, several other washing machines are executing priority programs. The dryer then executes its priority program normally, while the washing machine executes the high-power program with low operating parameters. Before the washing machine executes the spin-drying program, several other washing machines are executing drainage programs. The dryer then executes drainage normally, and the washing machine's spin-drying motor operates at a reduced speed to avoid resonance. Simultaneously, the dryer's drainage program is shorter, allowing it to be prioritized, which also improves work efficiency.

[0047] Before the washing machine executes its high-power program, if several other washing machines are executing non-priority programs, the washing machine will execute the high-power program normally, while the dryer will reduce its non-priority program operating parameters. Similarly, if before the washing machine executes its spin-drying program, if several other washing machines are executing their drying programs, the washing machine will execute the spin-drying program normally, while the dryer will reduce the speed of its direct drive motor to 1600 rpm. Furthermore, the priority ranking of the various programs in the washing machine and dryer is as follows: the dryer's priority program (draining program) is the highest priority, the washing machine's high-power program (spin-drying program) is the second highest priority, and the dryer's non-priority program (drying program) is the lowest priority.

[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, after the washing machine finishes its priority program and the dryer finishes its high-power program, the washing machine restores the high-power program to its normal operating parameters; after the washing machine finishes its high-power program, the dryer restores the non-priority program to its normal operating parameters. Before the washing machine executes the spin-drying program, while the dryer is executing the draining program, the dryer executes the draining program normally, and the washing machine reduces the speed of the spin-drying motor. After the draining program is completed, the washing machine restores the speed of the spin-drying motor to its normal speed. Alternatively, before the washing machine executes the spin-drying program, while the dryer is executing the drying program, the washing machine executes the spin-drying program normally, and the dryer reduces the speed of the direct-drive motor that drives the drying drum. After the washing machine finishes the spin-drying program, the dryer restores the speed of the direct-drive motor to its normal speed of 2600 rpm.

[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, before the washing machine executes the high-power program, if several washing machines simultaneously execute priority and non-priority programs, the dryer executes the priority program normally, reducing the operating parameters of the non-priority program. Simultaneously, the washing machine executes the high-power program with low operating parameters. After the dryer's priority program ends, the washing machine restores the high-power program to normal operating parameters, and the dryer continues to execute the non-priority program with low operating parameters. After the washing machine's high-power program ends, it returns to normal operating parameters. Before the washing machine executes the spin-drying program, if several washing machines simultaneously execute the draining and drying programs, the dryer executes the draining program normally, reducing the operating parameters of the drying program, i.e., reducing the speed of the direct drive motor to 1600 rpm. Additionally, the washing machine's spin-drying motor executes the spin-drying program at a low speed. After the dryer's draining program ends, the washing machine restores the spin-drying motor speed to normal, while the dryer's direct drive motor continues to operate at a low speed. After the washing machine's spin-drying program ends, it returns to normal speed. When the direct-drive motor of a dryer or the spin-drying motor of a washing machine rotates, it generates different vibrations. The above-mentioned design ensures that when the dryer and washing machine are working simultaneously, only one device can execute a program with a higher vibration amplitude, preventing resonance caused by multiple devices simultaneously executing programs with high vibration amplitudes. Simultaneously, while the dryer is running its priority program, other programs, such as non-priority programs and the washing machine's spin-drying program, do not stop running but instead reduce their operating parameters, thus reducing noise without affecting work efficiency.

[0050] The high-power program of the washing machine is the spin-drying program, the priority program of the dryer is the draining program, and the non-priority program is the drying program; preferably, the dryer executing the non-priority program with low operating parameters or reducing the operating parameters of the non-priority program means that the direct drive motor driving the dryer drum rotates at a low speed or reduces the speed of the direct drive motor.

[0051] In other embodiments, before the washing machine executes the high-power program, several washing machines simultaneously prepare to execute priority programs and non-priority programs. The dryer then executes the priority program normally and the non-priority program with the operating parameters. At the same time, the washing machine executes the high-power program with low operating parameters. After the dryer's priority program ends, the washing machine restores the high-power program to the normal operating parameters, and the dryer continues to execute the non-priority program with low operating parameters.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, a clothing processing device is introduced, which includes a washing machine and a dryer stacked on top of each other, wherein the washing machine and the dryer are enclosed in an outer shell, and the washing machine and the dryer are independent of each other.

[0054] The lower part of the washing machine includes a first drum, an outer casing fitted around the first drum, and the first drum and the outer casing coaxially connected. A drive motor for the first drum is connected to one end of the first drum, driving it to rotate. A first curtain is installed on the outer casing, and a first drum door is fitted to the first drum. One end of the first curtain is fixedly connected to the opening of the outer casing, and the other end is fixed to the outer casing. When the drum door is closed, it is tightly connected to the end of the curtain fixed to the outer casing. A first water inlet pipe is connected to the first curtain, allowing tap water to enter the first drum. A first drain pipe is installed below the first drum, draining wastewater after washing. A detergent dispenser is also installed in the washing machine. When water enters the first drum through the first inlet pipe, the detergent dispensed from the dispenser is carried into the drum, enabling automatic detergent addition.

[0055] The washing machine also includes a spin-drying motor. When the washing machine is running the spin-drying program, the spin-drying motor will drive the first drum to rotate and execute the spin-drying program. The spin-drying motor can increase or decrease its speed at any time according to the program executed by the washer and dryer. Because the spin-drying motor rotates at high speed during the spin-drying process, it will generate a lot of noise.

[0056] A clothes dryer includes a drying drum and a drying drum housing. The drying drum and the drying drum housing are coaxially mounted. The direct drive motor of the clothes dryer is fixedly connected to one end of the drying drum and drives the drying drum to rotate.

[0057] The dryer also includes a drying program. When the drying program begins, a direct-drive motor drives the dryer drum to rotate continuously, generating noise during this process. The drying program includes a fan, condenser, and heater connected in series with the dryer drum. The fan extracts humid air from the dryer drum, which then passes through the condenser, liquefying the moisture and dry cleaning solvent. The humid air is then condensed into dry air, heated by the heater, and sent to the dryer drum, blowing it onto the clothes inside. This generates humid air, which is then extracted by the fan, and the cycle continues until the clothes in the dryer drum are dry.

[0058] To avoid excessive vibration when the dryer and washing machine are working simultaneously, in this embodiment of the invention, the dryer executes a drainage program while performing the drying program. The drainage program is executed first and will not be affected by other programs, thus preventing a reduction in operating parameters. After the drainage program ends, the washing machine can restore its spin-drying program to normal operating parameters, while the dryer's drying program will return to normal speed after the washing machine's spin-drying program ends.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] In this embodiment of the invention, the washing machine simultaneously drains water during the spin-drying process. To distinguish it from the drainage process in Embodiment 1, this drainage process is defined as a second drainage process. In this embodiment, while the washing machine is performing the spin-drying process, several dryers are performing drainage processes. The dryer then performs its drainage process normally, while the washing machine performs the spin-drying process with low operating parameters. Simultaneously, the second drainage process also reduces power, meaning the water drained by the washing machine is slower. This avoids resonance between the washing machine and the dryer.

[0061] When the dryer finishes its draining cycle, the washing machine's spin-drying cycle and second draining cycle return to their original operating parameters.

[0062] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can be further combined or replaced. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
