Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of time correction technology, and in particular to a drying time correction method, washer-dryer, equipment, and medium. Background Technology

[0002] Most washer-dryer combos on the market now come with a display to show the remaining drying time. However, when the washer-dryer combo has a high drying load, it is prone to the problem that the displayed time has ended but the clothes are not yet dry; or when the drying load is low, it is prone to the problem that the clothes are dry but the displayed time has not ended. Traditional washer-dryer combos usually jump back a short time when the displayed time is about to end, or they will display the remaining time until it ends when the clothes are dry, which is a very poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, embodiments of the present invention are proposed to provide a drying time correction method, washer-dryer, apparatus and medium that overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems.

[0004] To address the above problems, this invention discloses a drying time correction method, comprising: starting a drying program;

[0005] Obtain the drying time T0 input by the user;

[0006] Obtain the inlet and outlet air temperature difference value X of the washer dryer drum, and obtain the corresponding actual required drying time T1 through the inlet and outlet air temperature difference value X;

[0007] By performing time correction processing on the drying time T0 and the actual required drying time T1, the actual time consumed by the washer-dryer per unit time is obtained; for every actual time consumed by the washer-dryer ts1, the remaining required drying time displayed on the screen is reduced by one unit time.

[0008] Preferably, the preset stage drying time Tg;

[0009] Among them, after the stage drying time Tg, the temperature difference value X between the inlet and outlet air of the washer-dryer drum is obtained.

[0010] Preferably, the difference Tc between the drying time T0 and the stage drying time Tg is obtained;

[0011] Obtain the ratio between the actual required drying time T1 and the difference Tc, where the ratio is the actual time consumed ts1.

[0012] Preferably, the stage drying time Tg is 10-15 min.

[0013] Preferably, when the user inputs the drying time T0, the actual initial consumption time of the washer-dryer per unit time is preset to ts0.

[0014] Preferably, the unit of time is per minute.

[0015] Preferably, the drying process is stopped when the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet air X meets the preset temperature difference value Y.

[0016] This invention discloses a washer-dryer, comprising: a main control device;

[0017] The main control device includes:

[0018] Start the module to begin the drying process;

[0019] The first data acquisition module acquires the drying time T0 input by the user;

[0020] The second data acquisition module acquires the inlet and outlet air temperature difference value X of the washer-dryer drum, and obtains the corresponding actual required drying time T1 through the inlet and outlet air temperature difference value X;

[0021] The third data acquisition module obtains the actual time consumed by the washer-dryer per unit time by performing time correction processing on the drying time T0 and the actual required drying time T1.

[0022] The fourth data acquisition module reduces the remaining drying time displayed on the screen by one unit for every actual time ts1 consumed by the washer-dryer.

[0023] This invention discloses an electronic device, including a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor. When the computer program is executed by the processor, it implements the drying time correction method described above.

[0024] This invention provides a computer-readable storage medium, including a computer program stored on the computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements the drying time correction method described above.

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages:

[0026] By acquiring the real-time temperature difference X between the inlet and outlet air, the corresponding actual required drying time T1 is obtained, thus deriving a more accurate drying time. Simultaneously, through time correction processing, a comparison is made between the drying time T0 and the actual required drying time T1 to obtain the actual time consumed by the washer-dryer per unit time, ts1. This ensures that the displayed drying time ends precisely when the washer-dryer is complete, resulting in more accurate drying time display and improved user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of an embodiment of the drying time correction method of the present invention;

[0028] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the main control device structure in one embodiment of the washer-dryer of the present invention;

[0029] Figure 3 This is an electronic device according to an embodiment of the drying time correction method of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-3 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an embodiment of a drying time correction method of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps: starting the drying program;

[0032] Obtain the drying time T0 input by the user;

[0033] Obtain the inlet and outlet air temperature difference value X of the washer dryer drum, and obtain the corresponding actual required drying time T1 through the inlet and outlet air temperature difference value X;

[0034] By performing time correction processing on the drying time T0 and the actual required drying time T1, the actual time consumed by the washer-dryer per unit time is obtained. For every unit of actual time consumed (ts1), the remaining required drying time displayed on the screen decreases by one unit of time. More specifically, the actual required drying time T1 is obtained by acquiring the real-time temperature difference between the inlet and outlet air, thus deriving a more accurate drying time. Simultaneously, through time correction processing and comparison between the drying time T0 and the actual required drying time T1, the actual time consumed by the washer-dryer per unit time (ts1) is obtained. This ensures that the displayed drying time ends precisely when the drying is complete, making the drying time display more accurate and improving the user experience. It should be noted that one unit of time is 1 minute.

[0035] The following will further describe a drying time correction method in this exemplary embodiment.

[0036] As an example, before the step of "obtaining the inlet and outlet air temperature difference value X of the washer-dryer drum and obtaining the corresponding actual required drying time T1 through the inlet and outlet air temperature difference value X", the following steps are included:

[0037] Preset stage drying time Tg;

[0038] Specifically, after a stage drying time Tg, the temperature difference X between the inlet and outlet air of the washer-dryer drum is obtained. More specifically, to prevent the washer-dryer from adjusting the drying time too frequently, a stage drying time Tg is preset. After the stage drying time Tg has elapsed, the washer-dryer will then make relevant adjustments to the drying time.

[0039] As an example, the step of "obtaining the actual time ts1 consumed by the washer-dryer per unit time by performing time correction processing on the drying time T0 and the actual required drying time T1" includes:

[0040] Obtain the difference Tc between the drying time T0 and the stage drying time Tg;

[0041] The ratio between the actual required drying time T1 and the difference Tc is obtained, and this ratio represents the actual consumption time ts1. More specifically, since the actual required drying time T1 is obtained after the stage drying time Tg, only Tc remains on the washer-dryer's display time when the actual required drying time T1 is obtained. To ensure that the washer-dryer completes drying within the remaining time Tc, the actual required drying time T1 needs to be compared with the difference Tc to obtain a suitable actual consumption time ts1.

[0042] As an example, the stage drying time Tg is 10-15 min.

[0043] As an example, it also includes:

[0044] When the user inputs the drying time T0, the preset initial consumption time of the washer-dryer per unit time is ts0.

[0045] As an example, the unit of time is per minute. More specifically, the following embodiment can be used as an example: the user inputs a drying time T0 of 60 minutes; the preset actual initial consumption time ts0 is 1 minute, that is, every minute reduced on the washer-dryer display screen actually takes 1 minute; the stage drying time Tg is 10 minutes, that is, after running for 10 minutes, based on the temperature difference X between the inlet and outlet air in the drum at this time, the corresponding actual required drying time T1 is obtained, and the actual required drying time T1 at this time is set to 30 minutes.

[0046] That is, the remaining time displayed on the washer-dryer at this time is Tc = drying time T0 - stage drying time Tg * actual initial consumption time ts0 = 60 - 10 * 1 = 50 min.

[0047] Since the actual required drying time T1 = 30 minutes and the remaining time Tc = 50 minutes, the actual time consumed by the washer-dryer per unit time is ts1 = T1 / Tc = 30 / 50 = 0.6 minutes. This means that for every minute the washer-dryer displays as decreasing by 1 minute, it actually uses 0.6 minutes. In other words, although the washer-dryer displays a remaining drying time of 50 minutes, because each minute decrease only uses 0.6 minutes, when the display shows 50 minutes have elapsed, the actual total drying time is 30 minutes. Furthermore, after 30 minutes of actual drying time, the displayed 50-minute drying time also ends.

[0048] As an example, it also includes:

[0049] The drying program stops when the inlet and outlet air temperature difference X meets the preset temperature difference value Y. More specifically, as the inlet and outlet air temperature difference X decreases, it indicates that the temperature inside the drum has stabilized and is gradually increasing, meaning the clothes inside the drum are nearly dry. When the inlet and outlet air temperature difference X meets the preset temperature difference value Y, it indicates that the clothes are dry and the drying program can be stopped.
