Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of signal processing technology, and in particular to a ventilation control method, device, garment care machine, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] A garment care machine is an appliance that uses electricity to remove wrinkles and odors from clothes inside its cavity (inner chamber) and has one or more functions such as sterilization, mite removal, allergy removal, and drying.

[0003] Under normal circumstances, after the garment care machine has finished caring for the garments, it will remind the user to remove the cared-for garments from the inner liner through sound (such as short, continuous beeps or long beeps) and light (such as rapidly flashing indicator lights or changing different indicator light colors according to different modes).

[0004] However, if users do not remove the clothes promptly after the garment care process and leave them in the garment care machine for an extended period, the poor air circulation between the inner drum and the outside environment may prevent the humid air inside from escaping in time. This can lead to the proliferation of bacteria inside the machine, which can then adhere to the clothes, resulting in a musty smell or mold growth. In addition, the clothes and the inner drum may also emit odors during the garment care process, and these odors remaining inside the drum can potentially re-adhere to the clothes, reducing the effectiveness of the garment care process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ventilation control method, device, garment care machine, and storage medium, which solves the technical problems of odor and mold growth in garments stored in the inner liner of the garment care machine.

[0006] Firstly, a ventilation control method is provided for use in a garment care machine. The ventilation method includes:

[0007] Obtain the operating performance parameters of the garment care machine;

[0008] When the values ​​of the operating performance parameters meet the threshold, the ventilation device of the garment care machine is opened to achieve the replacement of the air inside and outside the garment care machine.

[0009] After the ventilation device has been opened for a preset duration, control the ventilation device to close.

[0010] As can be seen, this ventilation control method detects the operating performance parameters inside the garment care machine's inner drum. These parameters characterize the machine's operating status, including information about the garment care process and the maintenance process after care. When the operating performance parameters meet a threshold, the ventilation device is turned on to replace the air inside the drum. This replaces the humid air with odors from the outside air, keeping the clothes dry and preventing odors and mold from adhering to them. Thus, even after drying, clothes left in the drum for a relatively long period are less likely to mold, addressing an industry pain point and improving the overall user experience.

[0011] As an optional implementation method, the ventilation method further includes:

Detailed Implementation

[0072] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0073] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; 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; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0074] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0075] This embodiment provides a ventilation control method, which is mainly applied to garment care machines. A garment care machine refers to a device that places garments in a relatively enclosed space for garment processing (such as drying, disinfection, ironing, and dry cleaning). Specifically, it can be a garment dryer (bag), a garment disinfection cabinet, a garment dry cleaning machine, or any device that performs dry cleaning, drying, and garment care functions; this embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0076] The purpose of this ventilation control method is to solve problems such as odor and mold caused by prolonged exposure of clothing to the enclosed space of the equipment during or after drying, disinfection, and other care processes.

[0077] This embodiment uses a garment care machine as the application device. The main reason why clothes produce odors and mold in the garment care machine is that during or after the garment care machine performs processes such as hot air deodorization, drying, and spraying disinfectant, there is still high humidity air in the inner drum 11 of the garment care machine or the air duct connected to the inner drum 11. This high humidity air breeds bacteria in a relatively closed environment, causing clothes to produce odors and mold.

[0078] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The structure of the garment care machine is shown. (For example...) Figures 1-2As shown, the garment care machine includes a main body 10, which serves as the outer shell of the garment care machine. The main body 10 has an internal cavity that communicates with the external environment on one side. A hollow inner liner 11 is installed inside the cavity to hold garments. Similarly, one side of the inner liner 11 communicates with the external environment, allowing garments to be placed inside. The inner liner 11 and the side of the main body 10 communicating with the external environment are the same side. A door 18 is installed on the main body 10 and hinged to it to close the cavity, creating a relatively enclosed space inside the main body 10 and the inner liner 11. In care mode, closing the door 18 allows the air, steam, and heat in the inner liner 11 to remain within a relatively enclosed space, improving the garment care effect.

[0079] An air duct is provided outside the inner liner 11. The air inlet and outlet of the air duct are connected to the inner cavity 11. A wind power component 14 is provided inside the air duct to generate airflow. During the operation of the wind power component 14, the air inside the inner liner 11 is circulated. The wind power component 14 can generate airflow in the air duct. The air duct is divided according to the location of the wind power component 14. The air ducts on both sides of the wind power component 14 form a negative pressure zone and a positive pressure zone, respectively. Air is drawn into the inner liner 11 and blown back into the inner liner 11 through the air duct.

[0080] like Figures 10-11 As shown, an air exchange port 15 communicating with the external environment is provided in the negative pressure zone of the air duct. An air exchange device 20 is provided at the location of the air exchange port 15. The air exchange device 20 can open or close the air exchange port 15. In this way, when the air exchange port 15 is open, the wind force component 14 in the air duct can be driven to draw fresh air from outside the garment care machine into the inner liner 11. Alternatively, a new wind force component 14 can be provided outside the air duct. In this way, when the wind force component 14 is running, the air in the inner liner 11 can be discharged from the garment care machine through the air exchange port 15.

[0081] Now combined with the appendix Figure 3 , Figure 4 The ventilation control method provided in the embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0082] Specifically, the ventilation control method provided in this embodiment of the invention proceeds as follows: The operating performance parameters of the garment care machine are obtained. Subsequently, if the values ​​of the operating performance parameters meet a threshold, the ventilation device 20 of the garment care machine is controlled to be in an open state, and the air in the inner liner 11 is replaced.

[0083] Finally, after the ventilation device 20 has been open for a preset duration, the ventilation device 20 is closed to end the ventilation process.

[0084] Here, the operating performance parameters of the garment care machine inner liner 11 include at least one of the following: the operating time of the garment care machine and the humidity of the inner liner 11.

[0085] The above-mentioned determination of the operating performance parameters to meet the threshold values ​​includes:

[0086] If the performance parameters include runtime, determine that the runtime is greater than or equal to the care duration threshold.

[0087] If the operating performance parameters include the humidity of the inner drum 11, then the humidity of the inner drum 11 must be less than or equal to the humidity threshold. It can be understood that, based on the above description, the conditions for air replacement in the inner drum 11 of the garment care machine are:

[0088] 1) When the running time is used as the operating performance parameter, when the care mode of the garment care machine ends, or when the care mode of the garment care machine ends, the ventilation device 20 is controlled to open the ventilation port 15, and the air in the inner liner 11 is replaced by controlling the wind component 14.

[0089] 2) When the humidity of the inner liner 11 is used as the operating performance parameter, in the care mode of the garment care machine, if the humidity of the inner liner 11 is less than or equal to the humidity threshold, the ventilation device 20 is controlled to open the ventilation port 15, and the air in the inner liner 11 is replaced by controlling the wind component 14.

[0090] 3) Using running time and humidity of inner liner 11 as operating performance parameters, under this condition, that is, when either condition 1) or condition 2) is met, control the ventilation device 20 to open the ventilation port 15, and control the air force component 14 to replace the air in the inner liner 11.

[0091] In the care mode of the garment care machine, during the care cycle, the machine fills the inner drum 11 with high-temperature steam generated by components such as the water tank and boiler to moisten the clothes inside. This makes the clothes easier to deodorize and remove wrinkles during the care process, and the humidity inside the inner drum 11 gradually increases during this state. After the clothes have undergone shaking and wrinkle removal, the machine uses components such as the compressor and fan 14 to condense and dry the clothes, restoring them to a clean and dry state. During this step, the temperature and humidity inside the inner drum 11 gradually decrease. At this time, the inner liner 11 will retain odors released during the clothing care process (such as smoke and sweat), as well as odors emitted during the heating process. When the humidity of the inner liner 11 drops to a level that is harmless to the external environment, the air in the inner liner 11 will be replaced with the outside air by opening the ventilation port 15, thereby expelling the odors. Here, you can also refer to the above-mentioned operating performance parameters as the running time and set the clothing care mode to replace the air in the inner liner 11 after it has been running for a period of time.

[0092] The following provides further explanation of condition 1) above. It is understood that the runtime is defined as the first preset time, and the time interval between the first preset time and the end of garment care is a certain period. Here, the range of the interval can be adjusted according to the user's needs. Specifically, it can be set based on garment information (such as garment type, material, etc.) or component parameters of the garment care machine (such as compressor power, fan power 14, etc.). The first preset time is determined by calculating the time required for the garment to go from moistening, ironing, and deodorizing to condensation drying, and for the humidity in the inner drum 11 to drop to or below the humidity threshold, using empirical data or the aforementioned component parameters and garment information. Garment information can be manually input by the user or obtained through detection by the detection device in the inner drum 11. The upper and lower thresholds of the first preset time interval can be negative or 0.

[0093] This setting method includes three scenarios:

[0094] 1. When the interval time range is negative, the ventilation device 20 is opened before the clothing care machine ends its care mode, and the air in the inner tank 11 is replaced.

[0095] 2. When the interval time range is 0, the maintenance mode of the garment care machine ends and the maintenance mode begins at the same time. The ventilation device 20 is opened to start replacing the air in the inner tank 11.

[0096] Of course, users can also set the interval time range to a positive value. That is, in case three, when the interval time range is a positive value, after the garment care machine finishes its care mode, the maintenance mode begins, the ventilation device 20 opens, and the air in the inner tank 11 is replaced.

[0097] In this embodiment, the interval time range is generally negative. The main reason, as explained above, is that it's necessary to replace the odors generated in the inner liner 11 during the garment care process. While the garment care machine itself may have a deodorizing function, since the air in the inner liner 11 is in recirculation mode during the care mode, the odor cannot be completely removed. When the interval time is positive, it's generally used to remove moisture generated in the inner liner 11 after the garment has been in the liner for a period of time due to dampness or other reasons, which can lead to mold and musty smells.

[0098] The following further explains the situation under condition 2). It is understood that during the start of the garment care process, the humidity value of the inner liner 11 can be obtained in real time by a humidity detector. The humidity detector is connected to the control module 40 of the garment care machine. When the humidity value of the inner liner 11 drops to or is less than the preset humidity threshold, the air replacement of the inner liner 11 is started.

[0099] It should be noted that the preset humidity threshold is the maximum humidity value of the inner liner 11 in a dry state. The definition of a dry state can be manually defined, such as a state where the air humidity inside the inner liner 11 generally has no impact on the external environment when it is discharged. In clothing care mode, the humidity value of the inner liner 11 gradually decreases from a relatively high value to equal to or less than the lower first preset temperature threshold. The control module 40 can then drive the corresponding care device to begin replacing the air in the inner liner 11.

[0100] When condition 2) is met, the garment care machine can continue to maintain the care mode until the program ends, or it can directly assume that the garment care is complete and immediately terminate the care mode to begin replacing the air in the inner drum 11. Of course, if the garment still needs to undergo other care processes after the drying process, the mode of maintaining the care mode while ventilating the inner drum 11 will be used.

[0101] Alternatively, if condition 2) is used as the condition for air replacement in the inner liner 11, after the clothing care mode ends, regardless of whether the humidity of the inner liner 11 is equal to or less than the preset humidity threshold, the ventilation device 20 of the clothing care machine can be opened to start replacing the air in the inner liner 11.

[0102] It should also be noted that if the interval range in condition 3) is set to a positive value and the preset threshold is set to 30%, and the humidity of the inner liner 11 reaches 30% before the end of garment care, at the end of garment care, and before the first preset time after the end of garment care, then condition 1) is discarded, and condition 2) is used as the trigger condition to directly start replacing the air in the inner liner 11; if the humidity value of the inner liner 11 is still greater than 30% when the first preset time is reached after the end of garment care, then condition 2) is discarded, and condition 1) is used as the trigger condition to start replacing the air in the inner liner 11.

[0103] In this way, regardless of whether the clothes are determined to be dry in the inner drum 11 during the drying mode, the air in the inner drum 11 can be replaced, ensuring the dryness and cleanliness of the air in the inner drum 11 to the maximum extent. This also avoids the situation where, if condition 2) is used as the trigger condition, the humidity of the inner drum 11 still does not meet the preset humidity threshold after the care mode ends, and the air replacement in the inner drum 11 cannot be started.

[0104] In the garment care machine of this embodiment, the air supply component 14 includes a first fan 141 and a second fan 142. In care mode, the first fan 141 and the second fan 142 can operate simultaneously to improve air circulation in the inner liner 11. During the ventilation process of the inner liner 11, the first fan 141 and the second fan 142 can also be configured to draw in outside air and exhaust air from the inner liner 11, respectively.

[0105] Specifically, during the preset opening time, when the ventilation device 20 opens the ventilation port 15, it controls the first fan 141 and the second fan 142 to operate alternately, alternately filling the inner liner 11 of the garment care machine with external gas and expelling the gas in the inner liner 11 to the outside of the inner liner 11, so as to realize the replacement of the internal and external gases of the garment care machine.

[0106] During actual operation, the garment care machine enters the garment care mode based on the triggered garment care command, determines the care time for the garment to be cared for, and sets the working control information for the care devices. The garment care time is the duration of the garment care mode process. Generally, after receiving the garment care command, the garment care machine obtains the garment information to be cared for. This information can be entered by the user through the control panel or detected by the detection device in the inner liner 11.

[0107] The garment care process in this embodiment can be understood as performing a series of ironing and care operations on the garments stored in the inner liner 11, including moisturizing, stretching, disinfecting, and drying, ultimately achieving the working mode of ironing and caring for the garments. Specifically, the working chamber can be understood as part of the garment care machine, used to store the garments to be cared for. Furthermore, before performing care operations on the garments, the machine acquires information about the garments, thereby obtaining different work control information based on different garment information to control the garment care machine to perform different degrees of ironing and care on the garments. This allows the care devices in the inner liner 11 to care for the garments according to the work control information within the designated care time.

[0108] like Figure 5 The diagram shows a ventilation control device applied to a garment care machine. It includes a detection module 50 for detecting the operating performance parameters within the inner drum 11 of the garment care machine; and a control module 40 for controlling the ventilation device 20 of the garment care machine to be in an open state when the values ​​of the operating performance parameters meet a threshold. It is understood that the care device in this embodiment can also include a blower module, a heating module, a steam spray module, a shaking module for the hanger 30, etc. In this embodiment, the detection module 50 detects the aforementioned operating performance parameters within the inner drum 11 of the garment care machine, and the control module 40 controls the ventilation device 20 of the garment care machine to be in an open state when the values ​​of the operating performance parameters meet a threshold. It also determines operating control information to control the blower module to form flowing air, control the heating module to heat and maintain the temperature of the inner drum 11, control the steam spray module to spray steam and moisture onto the garments to be cared for, and control the shaking module to move so that the hanger 30 pulls the garments with stretching force, thereby achieving a series of ironing and care operations such as moisturizing, stretching, and drying of the garments to be cared for.

[0109] Specifically, the detection module is used to determine if the operating performance parameter includes operating time, that the operating time is greater than or equal to a care duration threshold. If the operating performance parameter includes liner humidity, it determines if the liner humidity is less than or equal to a humidity threshold. The detection module 50 can be implemented by cooperating with one or more of the aforementioned humidity sensor and timer devices to determine the operating time and detect the liner humidity.

[0110] The detection device 50 detects at least one of the running time and the humidity of the inner liner 11. When the ventilation condition is triggered, the ventilation device 20 is in the open state. The control module 40 controls the first fan 141 and the second fan 142 to operate alternately, thereby alternately filling the inner liner 11 with external gas and discharging the gas in the inner liner 11 to the outside of the inner liner 11. It is understandable that the first fan 141 and the second fan 142 are both original air-powered components 14 of the inner liner 11 of the garment care machine. Before the ventilation device 20 is in the open state, the control module 40 controls the first fan 141 and the second fan 142 to run simultaneously, circulate the air in the inner liner 11, and blow air on the clothes when they are hanging in the inner liner 11. When the ventilation device 20 is open, one of the air-powered components 14 can draw in outside air during the blowing process, allowing fresh air from outside to fill the inner liner 11, while the other air-powered component 14 blows the air in the inner liner 11 out of the inner liner 11, so that the alternating operation of the two air-powered components 14 can replace the air in the inner liner 11.

[0111] Following the above scheme, in order to save energy, regardless of whether conditions 1), 2), or 3) are triggered, after the ventilation device 20 is opened for a preset time, that is, after the ventilation time of the inner liner 11 is equal to the first preset time period, the air in the inner liner 11 is continuously replaced for a period of time, and then the ventilation device 20 is controlled to close, stopping the replacement of air in the inner liner 11.

[0112] After the garment care is completed, since the inner liner 11 remains in a relatively sealed state, if the garment is left in the inner liner 11 for a long time before the garment is removed, it may develop odors and mold due to dampness in the inner liner 11. Therefore, after the garment care is completed and the garment is removed, the ventilation device 20 needs to be opened and closed periodically to periodically replace the air in the inner liner 11.

[0113] Specifically, after the care mode ends, the ventilation device 20 of the garment care machine can be periodically opened and the air force component 14 can be used to replace the air in the inner liner 11 at a time node of the first preset time interval or the end time of the care mode.

[0114] Similarly, the second preset time period can be determined by the preset scheme of the control module 40, thereby ensuring that after the first preset time is reached, the air in the inner liner 11 is replaced at regular intervals, ensuring that the air in the inner liner 11 is kept dry and clean before the clothes are removed. This ensures that even if the clothes are left in the inner liner 11 for a long time after the clothes are treated, no odor or mold will be produced. The air replacement in the inner liner 11 will stop after the clothes are removed. Whether the clothes have been removed can be detected by the detection device in the inner liner 11 or by manually triggering an operation command to the clothes care machine.

[0115] like Figures 6-11 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a garment care machine. The inner liner 11 of the garment care machine is provided with a first circulating air duct 12 and a second circulating air duct 13. The first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 are respectively formed with a return air port 16 and an air outlet 17 at their ends. Both the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 are provided with a wind power component 14 for generating airflow. It can be understood that the wind power component 14 can be a turbine fan, a wind wheel, or other component that can convert mechanical energy into wind energy. The wind power component 14 includes a first fan 141 and a second fan 142. The first fan 141 is located in the first circulating air duct 12, and the second fan 142 is located in the second circulating air duct 13. Through rotation and other movements, the first fan 141 and the second fan 142 can generate airflow in the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 respectively, so that the air duct at the return air port 16 end forms a negative pressure zone to draw in air, and the air duct at the air outlet 17 end forms a positive pressure zone to blow out air.

[0116] Furthermore, the return air inlets 16 and the air outlets 17 at both ends of the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 are both connected to the inner liner 11. The air duct at one end of the return air inlet 16 serves as a negative pressure zone, used to draw air out of the inner liner 11, while the air duct at one end of the air outlet 17 serves as a positive pressure zone, used to recirculate the drawn-in air into the inner liner 11.

[0117] like Figures 10-11 As shown, the processor within the garment care machine of this embodiment is specifically used for switching control modes:

[0118] In nursing mode, the ventilation device 20 closes the ventilation port 15, and the wind components 14 in the first circulation air duct 12 and the second circulation air duct 13 are turned on, together drawing out the air from the inner liner 11 and circulating the air into the inner liner 11.

[0119] In ventilation mode, ventilation device 20 opens one of the ventilation ports 15, and the wind components 14 in the first circulation duct 12 and the second circulation duct 13 alternately start and stop, alternately filling the inner liner 11 with external gas or exhausting the gas in the inner liner 11 to the outside of the garment care machine, replacing the air in the inner liner 11.

[0120] In the above-described care mode, the first fan 141 in the first circulating air duct 12 and the second fan 142 in the second circulating air duct 13 operate together to return air to different parts of the clothes in the inner liner 11, and at the same time, they work together with other care devices in the inner liner 11 to complete the care of the clothes.

[0121] To allow the air in the inner liner 11 to be exchanged with the external ambient air using the aforementioned ventilation control method, this embodiment provides three structures:

[0122] 1. An air exchange port 15 is provided on the first circulating air duct 12, which is connected to the outside of the nursing machine body 10 (external environment);

[0123] 2. An air exchange port 15 is provided on the second circulating air duct 13 to communicate with the outside (external environment) of the nursing machine body 10;

[0124] 3. Both the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 are provided with air exchange ports 15 that are connected to the outside of the nursing machine body 10 (external environment).

[0125] A ventilation device 20 is provided at the location where the ventilation port 15 is provided in the first circulating air duct 12 and / or the second circulating air duct 13. The ventilation device 20 is used to open or close the ventilation port 15, so that the first circulating air duct 12 and / or the second circulating air duct 13 can selectively communicate with the external environment. Specifically, the ventilation port 15 is preferably located in the negative pressure area of ​​the wind power component 14, that is, on the side close to the return air port.

[0126] In this embodiment, when the garment care machine activates the ventilation mode using the above-described ventilation control method, taking structure 1, which has a ventilation port 15 on the first circulating air duct 12 that communicates with the outside (external environment) of the garment care machine body 10, as an example:

[0127] like Figures 6-9 As shown, the ventilation device 20 on the first circulating air duct 12 is opened, so that the first circulating air duct 12 is connected to the external environment through the return air port 16 and the air outlet 17.

[0128] like Figures 8-9As shown, the second fan 142 of the second circulating air duct 13 is closed, and the first fan 141 of the first circulating air duct 12 is turned on, so that the return air port 16 and the air inlet of the first circulating air duct 12 respectively draw out and exhaust air to the inner liner 11. During this process, the ventilation port 15 will draw in the external fresh air of the garment care machine, and the external air will be blown into the inner liner 11 from the air outlet 17 of the first circulating air duct 12 by the first fan 141.

[0129] like Figures 6-7 As shown, the first fan 141 of the first circulating air duct 12 is closed, and the second fan 142 of the second circulating air duct 13 is open, so that the air in the inner liner 11 can be discharged from the garment care machine through the air exchange port 15.

[0130] The above steps must be performed with the ventilation port 15 of the ventilation device 20 open. In the ventilation mode, the wind component 14 in the first circulation duct 12 and the wind component 14 in the second circulation duct 13 are opened alternately, thereby achieving the effect of alternately filling the inner liner 11 with external gas or exhausting the gas in the inner liner 11 to the outside of the garment care machine, replacing the air in the inner liner 11.

[0131] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, since the door 18 is closed, gaps are formed between the door 18 and the main body 10 of the care machine, as well as in other positions inside the main body 10 of the care machine. The cavity of the main body 10 of the care machine and the inner liner 11 can communicate with the external environment through these gaps. When the first fan 141 is turned on, a positive pressure will be formed in the inner liner 11. At this time, some of the air in the inner liner 11 can also be discharged from the clothing care machine through the gaps.

[0132] Taking the structure 2, which has an air exchange port 15 on the second circulating air duct 13 that communicates with the outside of the nursing machine body 10 (external environment), as an example:

[0133] The ventilation device 20 on the second circulating air duct 13 is opened, so that the second circulating air duct 13 is connected to the external environment through the return air port 16 and the air outlet 17.

[0134] When the first fan 141 is turned off and the second fan 142 is turned on, air is drawn out and discharged into the inner liner 11 from the return air port 16 and the air inlet of the second circulation duct 13, respectively. During this process, the ventilation port 15 draws in fresh air from outside the garment care machine, and the outside air is blown into the inner liner 11 from the air outlet 17 of the second circulation duct 13 by the second fan 142.

[0135] When the second fan 142 is turned off and the first fan 141 is turned on, the air in the inner liner 11 can be discharged from the garment care machine through the air exchange vent 15.

[0136] The above steps must be performed with the ventilation port 15 of the ventilation device 20 open. In the ventilation mode, the first fan 141 and the second fan 142 are turned on alternately to alternately fill the inner liner 11 with external gas or exhaust the gas in the inner liner 11 to the outside of the garment care machine, thereby replacing the air in the inner liner 11.

[0137] Taking the structure 3, in which both the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 are provided with air exchange ports 15 that communicate with the outside of the nursing machine body 10 (external environment), as an example:

[0138] The second fan 142 is turned off, and at the same time, the ventilation device 20 on the second circulating air duct 13 opens the corresponding ventilation port 15. The first fan 141 is turned on, and at the same time, the ventilation device 20 on the first circulating air duct 12 opens the corresponding ventilation port 15, so that the return air port 16 and the air inlet of the first circulating air duct 12 respectively draw out and exhaust air to the inner liner 11. During this process, the ventilation port 15 of the first circulating air duct 12 will draw in fresh air from outside the garment care machine. The outside air will be blown into the inner liner 11 from the air outlet 17 of the first circulating air duct 12 by the fan component 14, and the air in the inner liner 11 will be exhausted from the ventilation port 15 of the second circulating air duct 13.

[0139] The ventilation devices 20 of the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 remain open. The first fan 141 is closed, and at the same time, the second fan 142 is turned on, so that the return air port 16 and the air inlet of the second circulating air duct 13 respectively draw out and exhaust air to the inner liner 11. During this process, the ventilation port 15 of the second circulating air duct 13 will draw in fresh air from outside the garment care machine. The outside air will be blown into the inner liner 11 from the air outlet 17 of the second circulating air duct 13 by the second fan 142, and the air in the inner liner 11 will be exhausted from the ventilation port 15 of the first circulating air duct 12.

[0140] The above steps must be performed with the ventilation port 15 of the ventilation device 20 open. In the ventilation mode, the wind component 14 in the first circulation duct 12 and the wind component 14 in the second circulation duct 13 are opened alternately, thereby achieving the effect of alternately filling the inner liner 11 with external gas or exhausting the gas in the inner liner 11 to the outside of the garment care machine, replacing the air in the inner liner 11.

[0141] All three structures can achieve ventilation of the inner liner 11 through the cooperation of opening and closing of different components, and the opening and closing of ventilation of the inner liner 11 by the garment care machine can be triggered by the conditions in the above ventilation control method.

[0142] like Figure 12As shown, specifically, the ventilation device 20 includes a cover plate 21 and an output mechanism 22. When the ventilation device 20 is closed, the cover plate 21 can completely cover the ventilation port 15. The output mechanism 22 has a fixed end 221 and an output end 222. The fixed end 221 is fixedly disposed on the side of the ventilation port 15, and the output end 222 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 21. The output end 222 drives the cover plate 21 so that the cover plate 21 reciprocates between the closed ventilation port 15 and the open ventilation port 15 positions.

[0143] like Figures 12-14 As shown, it can be understood that the cover plate 21 and the air vent 15 in this embodiment are circular. The outer diameter of the cover plate 21 is preferably larger than the diameter of the air vent 15, so that when the output mechanism 22 drives the cover plate 21 to close the air vent 15, the cover plate 21 can completely cover the air vent 15, preventing the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 from communicating with the external environment through the air vent 15. In addition, the outer edge of the cover plate 21 facing the air vent 15 can also be provided with sealing structures such as sealing strips that seal against the surfaces of the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13, further improving the airtightness between the cover plate 21 and the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 in the closed state, and preventing the intake of external fresh air during the operation of the corresponding wind component 14 in the care mode, which would affect the clothing care effect.

[0144] Here, the output mechanism 22 can be a device with reciprocating movement function, such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, screw drive mechanism, or motor. Taking a cylinder as an example, the cover plate 21 can be set at the end of the piston rod of the cylinder. The reciprocating movement of the piston rod is driven by the cylinder, so that the cover plate 21 moves back and forth between approaching and moving away from the air exchange port 15, selectively covering or opening the air exchange port 15. The control principle of other output mechanisms 22 mentioned above is similar, and will not be described in detail here. However, it is obviously not suitable to use a cylinder as a household clothing care machine, because the cylinder also needs to be equipped with a special air supply system, which will lead to a significant increase in the size of the device.

[0145] like Figure 12As shown, the output mechanism 22 in this example preferably uses a stepper motor. The stepper motor converts electrical pulse signals into corresponding angular or linear displacement motion. The stepper motor is electrically connected to the control module 40 and can be controlled by the control module 40. For each input pulse signal, the output shaft of the stepper motor rotates by an angle or moves forward one step. The output angular or linear displacement is proportional to the number of input pulses, and the rotational speed is proportional to the pulse frequency. Thus, the motor housing is configured as the fixed end 221, the motor output shaft is configured as the output end 222, and the cover plate 21 defines a mounting hole 211 that matches the output end 222. The output end 222 is fixedly connected to the mounting hole 211. When the stepper motor receives the control signal sent by the control module 40, it controls the cover plate 21 to rotate to the position of covering the ventilation port 15 or opening the ventilation port 15 through the rotation of its output shaft, thereby realizing the closure or opening of the ventilation port 15.

[0146] More specifically, the stepper motor housing serves as the fixed end 221. When the first circulating air duct 12 has an air exchange port 15, the fixed end 221 is fixedly installed inside the first circulating air duct 12, that is, on the inner wall of the air duct of the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13. The stepper motor output shaft serves as the output end 222, which can movably pass through the outside of the first circulating air duct 12 and is fixedly connected to the cover plate 21.

[0147] When the second circulating air duct 13 has an air exchange port 15, the fixed end 221 is fixedly installed inside the second circulating air duct 13, and the output end 222 can be movably extended out of the second circulating air duct 13 and fixedly connected to the cover plate (21).

[0148] When both the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 have air exchange ports 15, both the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 are provided with fixed ends 221, and the two output ends 222 respectively pass through the interior of the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13, and are respectively connected to cover plates 21.

[0149] This maximizes the utilization of space inside the equipment and allows the cover plate 21 to be closer to the air exchange port 15, improving the airtightness between the outer wall of the air duct and the cover plate 21.

[0150] like Figure 12 As shown, to prevent slippage between the stepper motor's output shaft and the mounting hole 211 of the cover plate 21, and to ensure that the stepper motor can accurately switch between closing and opening the ventilation port 15 each time it rotates the cover plate 21, the motor's output shaft is a flat shaft, corresponding to, as shown in the figure. Figure 15As shown, the mounting hole 211 is a flat hole. When machining the output shaft and the mounting hole 211, a flat hole with a planar structure is machined on the outer periphery of the output shaft, and a flat hole with a planar structure is machined on the inner periphery of the mounting hole 211. When the output shaft is inserted into the mounting hole 211, the flat holes fit together to achieve the corresponding effect.

[0151] To ensure a more stable installation of the output mechanism 22 on the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13, the ventilation device 20 also includes a support member 23. The main function of the support member 23 is to support the output mechanism 22. When the output mechanism 22 is a stepper motor, the support member 23 is roughly a cover structure. The support member 23 forms a mounting cavity 231 with a shape that matches the output mechanism 22. One side of the mounting cavity 231 is connected to the outside of the support member 23. The output mechanism 22 is embedded in the mounting cavity 231 and can be fastened in the mounting cavity 231 by means of screw connection, adhesive, etc. In this way, the output mechanism 22 can be fixedly set on the first circulating air duct 12 and / or the second circulating air duct 13 through the support member 23 and thus connected to the first circulating air duct 12 and / or the second circulating air duct 13. The output end 222 of the output mechanism 22 can also extend out from the opening on one side of the support member 23 and connect to the cover plate 21.

[0152] Here, the support member 23 can be made of materials such as plastic or metal; the specific material is not limited, as long as the support member 23 has sufficient structural strength to support the output mechanism 22. In this embodiment, the support member 23 is preferably manufactured using plastic injection molding. This reduces the vibration of the output mechanism 22 on the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 during operation, thus improving equipment stability. Specifically, cushioning foam can also be placed between the mounting cavity 231 and the output mechanism 22 to further achieve the shock absorption effect.

[0153] As a further embodiment of the garment care machine, a heating device is provided in the first circulating air duct 12 and / or the second circulating air duct 13. The processor is also used to control the heating device to work and heat up when the wind component 14 in the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 is working. The heating device can heat the air in the first circulating air duct 12 and / or the second circulating air duct 13 in the care mode and ventilation mode of the garment care machine, so that the first circulating air duct 12 and / or the second circulating air duct 13 blow out hot air, thereby improving the dehumidification effect of the garment.

[0154] This embodiment preferably employs a scheme in which heating devices are installed in both the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13. In the ventilation mode, when the wind force component 14 in the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 is working, the corresponding heating devices in the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 work and generate heat. By heating the air in the corresponding air duct, the odor in the inner liner 11 is more thoroughly replaced by the outside air, which can dehumidify and dry the inner liner 11 and the clothes to a certain extent, ensuring that the inner liner 11 and the clothes remain dry and clean.

[0155] To further improve the effects of the garment care machine's care and ventilation modes, a first circulating air duct 12 is located at the top of the inner liner 11, and a second circulating air duct 13 is located at the bottom of the inner liner 11. Furthermore, on the same vertical plane, the air outlets 17 of the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 are positioned opposite each other. In this way, during the garment care mode, the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 can blow air onto the upper and lower parts of the garments respectively, causing the garments to billow and increasing the contact area between the garments and the steam and disinfectant solution. It also makes it easier to flatten the garments by shaking the hanger 30 when they are in a billowed state. In the ventilation mode, the air force components 14 in the first circulating air duct 12 and the second circulating air duct 13 work alternately, which also makes it easier for the air in the inner liner 11 to be discharged to the outside through the corresponding air ducts.

[0156] It is understandable that, under the above configuration, the heating device installed in the second circulating air duct 13 is a compressor, and the heating device installed in the first circulating air duct 12 is a PTC heating element.

[0157] In addition, the garment care machine is equipped with a water system and a boiler. Specifically, the water system can be connected to the bottom and top of the garment care machine, and the boiler can be connected to the water system at the bottom of the garment care machine to heat the water in the bottom water system to form steam. The steam is released from the bottom of the garment care machine, and water is sprayed from the top of the garment care machine to moisten the clothes, allowing the clothing fibers to unfold and making them easier to care for.

[0158] Understandably, in order to allow clothes to be hung in the inner liner 11 in an unfolded state, a clothes hanger 30 is also provided in the inner liner 11. The clothes hanger 30 is located near the top of the garment care machine. The top of the clothes hanger 30 is fixedly or movably set on the top of the garment care machine. A shaking device can also be installed on the top of the garment care machine. Through the connection of the clothes hanger 30 with the shaking device, the clothes are continuously shaken in care mode, and the steam released by the water system and the water sprayed out restore the surface of the clothes to a smooth state.

[0159] like Figures 6-11As shown in the above scheme, in order to further improve the garment care effect and the ventilation effect of the inner lining 11, the hanger 30 has an air duct structure in the middle. The first end of the air duct structure is connected to one end of the first circulation air duct 12, and the second end of the air duct structure is located at the lower part of the hanger 30 and communicates with the outside of the hanger 30, which is used to blow air into the inside of the garment when hanging the garment.

[0160] Specifically, the hanger 30 includes a connecting part 31 near the upper part for hanging or connecting to the upper part of the inner drum 11 of the garment care machine, and a shoulder support 32 near the lower part of the hanger 30, connected to the connecting part 31. Taking a garment as an example, when the hanger 30 hangs a garment, the shoulder support 32 is placed inside the garment and supports the shoulders of the garment, while the connecting part 31 extends from the neckline of the garment and is set on the top of the inner drum 11 via a hook or a connecting structure that matches the inner drum 11 and the shaking device. One end of the aforementioned air duct structure extends to the connecting part 31 and communicates with the outside at the end of the connecting part 31 near the top of the inner drum 11, thereby forming a structure that communicates with the first circulating air duct 12. The other end of the air duct structure extends to the lower part of the shoulder support 32 and has multiple air vents spaced apart along the length of the shoulder support 32, communicating with the lower part of the shoulder support 32.

[0161] In this way, whether the garment care machine is in care mode or ventilation mode, the air blown out by the first circulation air duct 12 can be blown into the inside of the garment, opening up the garment and increasing the contact area between the garment and the air. This also avoids the situation where the air inside the garment is difficult to replace in ventilation mode, which can lead to odors. At the same time, it can also allow the air to smooth the garment and keep it flat.

[0162] Furthermore, an air outlet 121 connected to the inner liner 11 is provided between the two ends of the first circulating air duct 12. This outlet is used to blow air onto the outside of the clothes when they are hung on the hanger 30. The air duct structure inside the hanger 30 and the air outlet 121 outside the hanger 30 blow air onto the inside and outside of the clothes respectively. In the care mode, the clothes are inflated while air passes through the inner and outer surfaces of the clothes at the same time, which improves the care effect. In the ventilation mode, the air inside and outside the clothes can also be replaced at the same time, which improves the ventilation effect and removes the odor of the inner liner 11 and clothes to the maximum extent, avoiding the problem of mold caused by the clothes being placed in the inner liner 11 for a long time.
