[0032] In the related art, a conventional washing and drying integrated machine has a washing tub and a drying tub. Condensate is generated during the operation of the drying tub. However, in the prior art, the condensate is often directly discharged, wasting water resources. The condensate generated during the drying operation can be filtered and then guided into the washing tub, so that the condensate participates in the washing process, realizing the recycling of the condensate and reducing water resource waste.

[0033] In some cases, the collection and utilization of condensed water need to be arranged according to the working conditions of the laundry tub and the drying tub. In particular, the working sequences of the laundry tub and the drying tub are not necessarily alternating, but condensed water is only generated when the drying tub is working. Since the working sequences of the laundry tub and the drying tub are random, a method is needed to control the flow of condensed water from the drying tub to the laundry tub when the drying tub is working and to allow the condensed water to participate in the laundry process of the laundry tub when the laundry tub is working, so as to achieve effective collection of condensed water. During the collection process of the condensed water, how to avoid energy waste is also a technical problem to be solved in this application.

[0034] The following refers to Figures 1 - 3 Describe the condensed water circulation control method of the washing and drying integrated machine according to the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] The washing and drying integrated machine is provided with a laundry tub, a drying tub and a first water box, and the first water box is used to store the condensed water generated by the drying tub. Specifically, the washing and drying integrated machine is of a double-tub combined type. The washing and drying integrated machine has a laundry tub and a drying tub, and the washing and drying integrated machine has multiple types of clothing treatment. For example, the types of clothing treatment that can be performed in the laundry tub are washing clothes, and the types of clothing treatment that can be performed in the drying tub are drying clothes. The washing and drying integrated machine is also provided with a condenser and a drying channel communicated with the drying tub. During the drying process, the drying channel generates high-temperature gas to dry the clothes in the drying tub. The humid gas generated after drying the clothes can be condensed and precipitated at the condenser, thereby reducing the humidity in the air flow. The dried gas after heat exchange enters the drying channel again and is heated into high-temperature gas. The heating and condensation of the above gas are repeated until the clothes are completely dried. Condensed water will be generated during the condensation process of the condenser. One object of the present invention is to collect and utilize the condensed water to wash clothes.

[0036] The condensed water circulation control method for using condensed water to wash clothes is as Figure 1 shown and includes:

[0037] S101: Obtain the current clothing treatment type of the washing and drying integrated machine.

[0038] Here, since the washing and drying integrated machine has a laundry tub and a drying tub, the type of clothing treatment performed by the laundry tub is washing, and washing water needs to be injected into the laundry tub during the washing process; the type of clothing treatment performed by the drying tub is drying, and condensed water is generated during the drying process. The condensed water can be selectively transported to the first water box at an appropriate time, and the condensed water in the first water box can be transported into the laundry tub when washing clothes to be used as washing water. In the above process, since the timing of generating condensed water is different from the timing of consuming it, it is necessary to first judge the current clothing treatment type of the washing and drying integrated machine to determine whether the washing and drying integrated machine is in the drying process of generating condensed water or in the washing process of consuming condensed water.

[0039] S103: Determine that the current type of clothing treatment is washing, and control the connection or disconnection between the first water box and the laundry tub.

[0040] Here, for the convenience of storing condensed water, the first water box is usually set to be disconnected from the laundry tub. When washing clothes consumes condensed water, the first water box is connected to the laundry tub. When the current type of clothing treatment is washing, the washer-dryer should consume condensed water to wash clothes. At this time, if there is condensed water stored in the first water box, control the first water box to be connected to the laundry tub, and the condensed water in the first water box can flow into the laundry tub to participate in the process of washing clothes; if there is no condensed water stored in the first water box or the condensed water has been consumed, control the first water box to be in a disconnected state from the laundry tub.

[0041] In the condensed water circulation control method involved in the present invention, by judging the current type of clothing treatment of the washer-dryer to control the connection or disconnection between the first water box and the laundry tub, the condensed water generated during the process of drying clothes in the drying tub can be reused as laundry water, effectively reducing water resource waste.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, S103: Determine that the current type of clothing treatment is washing, and control the connection or disconnection between the first water box and the laundry tub, including:

[0043] Determine that the current type of clothing treatment is washing, and control the first water box to be connected to the laundry tub to introduce the condensed water in the first water box into the laundry tub.

[0044] Here, when the current type of clothing treatment is washing, a large amount of washing water enters the laundry tub to wash clothes. At this time, control the first water box to be connected to the laundry tub. There is condensed water stored in the first water box, and the condensed water flows into the laundry tub to participate in the process of washing clothes. During this washing process, the water used for washing clothes not only includes the large amount of washing water entering the laundry tub, but also the condensed water introduced from the first water box, making full use of water resources to reduce water resource waste.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, S103: Determine that the current type of clothing treatment is washing, and control the connection or disconnection between the first water box and the laundry tub, including:

[0046] S105: Obtain a clothing treatment type identifier; wherein, the clothing treatment type identifier is used to represent the previous type of clothing treatment and at least includes a first identifier and a second identifier;

[0047] Here, the clothing treatment type identifier is adapted to characterize the previous clothing treatment type, where the clothing treatment types are washing and drying respectively. In the clothing treatment type identifier, one of the first identifier and the second identifier characterizes washing, and the other characterizes drying. For example, the first identifier characterizes washing and the second identifier characterizes drying. Whether there is condensed water in the first water box can be determined according to the previous clothing treatment type of the washer-dryer. For example, when the clothing treatment type identifier characterizes that the previous clothing treatment type is drying, the drying drum dries the clothes and generates condensed water, and at this time, condensed water will be stored in the first water box; when the clothing treatment type identifier characterizes that the previous clothing treatment type is washing, the washing tub washes the clothes and consumes the condensed water, and at this time, there is no condensed water stored in the first water box. Using this identifier in combination with the current clothing treatment type can avoid unnecessary energy consumption.

[0048] S107: Determine that the clothing treatment type identifier is the first identifier, and control the disconnection between the first water box and the washing tub; and / or, determine that the clothing treatment type identifier is the second identifier, and control the connection between the first water box and the washing tub. After the washer-dryer obtains the clothing treatment type identifier, it can determine the previous clothing treatment type of the washer-dryer. When the previous clothing treatment type is washing, there is no condensed water stored in the first water box, so the connection between the first water box and the washing tub is controlled to be disconnected. When the previous clothing treatment type is drying, there is condensed water in the first water box, so the connection between the first water box and the washing tub is controlled to be connected, so as to introduce the condensed water in the first water box into the washing tub.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the washer-dryer further includes a tractor and a water valve. The water valve is arranged at the water outlet of the first water box, and the tractor can selectively drive the water valve to open. Specifically, as a power element, the tractor can act under the control of the washer-dryer to drive the water valve to open. When the previous clothing treatment type of the washer-dryer is washing, the first water box is disconnected from the washing tub, and at this time, the tractor does not need to work and does not consume energy. When the previous clothing treatment type of the washer-dryer is drying and currently in the washing process, the washer-dryer controls the tractor to drive the water valve so that the water valve opens the water outlet of the first water box. Since the work of the tractor consumes energy, the tractor consumes less energy when acting according to the obtained first identifier or second identifier, making the washer-dryer more energy-saving and environmentally friendly when using condensed water.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the washer-dryer 1 is further provided with a second water box 50. The second water box 50 is used to collect the condensed water generated during the drying process of the drying drum 20, and the second water box 50 can selectively transport the condensed water to the first water box 40. Specifically, the second water box 50 can be arranged adjacent to the drying drum 20. The second water box 50 is adapted to collect condensed water, and the second water box 50 is selectively communicated with the first water box 40 to transport the condensed water collected by the second water box 50 into the first water box 40.

[0051] The condensate water circulation control method further includes:

[0052] S201: Determine that the current clothing treatment type is drying;

[0053] Here, when driving the current clothing treatment type to be drying, the washer-dryer performs a drying program to dry the clothes in the drying drum.

[0054] S203: Obtain a clothing treatment type identifier; wherein, the clothing treatment type identifier is used to represent the previous clothing treatment type and includes a first identifier and a second identifier.

[0055] When the current clothing treatment type is drying, it is also necessary to obtain the clothing treatment type identifier of the previous time, and based on the clothing treatment type identifier, the next action of the washer-dryer is carried out

[0056] Here, as Figure 3 shown, when the previous working process is a laundry process, the condensate water in the first water box is discharged into the laundry tub, and the condensate water in the first water box is empty. After the washer-dryer performs a drying process, the condensate water generated in the drying process flows into the second water box. As the amount of condensate water in the second water box gradually increases, when the condensate water level reaches a preset level, the second water box conveys the condensate water to the first water box. Exemplarily, when the drying process starts, the second water box accumulates condensate water. After the condensate water level reaches the preset level, the condensate water is pumped into the first water box so that the condensate water can be used as washing water in the next laundry process. By judging whether the condensate water reaches the preset level and then selecting to convey the condensate water in the second water box to the first water box, it is possible to prevent the condensate water in the second water box from being excessive and avoid the ineffective water collection of the condensate water in the second water box.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the condensate water circulation control method further includes:

[0058] S205: Determine that the clothing treatment type identifier is the first identifier, and obtain the condensate water level collected by the second water box;

[0059] Whether the second water box selects to convey the condensate water to the first water box is controlled according to the water level of the condensate water in the second water box. And when the water level of the condensate water in the second water box is relatively low, continuously starting the conveying device to convey the condensate water in the second water box to the first water box has high energy consumption and is unreasonable. After the water level of the condensate water in the second water box reaches a certain level, further conveying the condensate water can help reduce energy consumption.

[0060] S207: Determine that the condensate water level reaches the preset level, and control the second water box to convey the condensate water to the first water box.

[0061] Here, after the condensed water reaches the preset water level, it can be determined that the condensed water in the second water box has reached a certain water level. At this time, control the second water box to transport the condensed water into the first water box, which can continuously transport more condensed water. During the transportation of the condensed water, the washer-dryer still remains in the drying process. Thus, there is still condensed water entering the second water box. Therefore, during the process of the second water box transporting the condensed water, the condensed water that enters the second water box later can be further collected into the first water box, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the condensed water and reducing the energy consumption of the washer-dryer.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second water box includes a water pump. Specifically, the water pump and the connecting pipe connect the second water box and the first water box. The condensed water in the second water box can enter the water pump through the water pump inlet end, and enter the connecting pipe through the other end of the connecting pipe connected to the water pump. The condensed water collected in the second water box can enter the first water box through the connecting pipe under the drive of the water pump. When the water level of the condensed water in the second water box reaches the preset value, the water pump can be turned on to pump the condensed water collected in the second water box into the first water box. Controlling the transportation of the condensed water in the second water box into the first water box according to the above control method can effectively reduce the start-stop times of the water pump, improve the service life of the water pump, reduce the energy consumed by the water pump, and improve the transportation efficiency of the water pump for the condensed water.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, after obtaining the clothing treatment type identifier, it further includes:

[0064] S3: Update the clothing treatment type identifier correspondingly according to the current clothing treatment type.

[0065] After obtaining the clothing treatment type identifier, the washer-dryer controls the first water valve or the water pump according to the current clothing treatment type and the previous clothing treatment type, and updates the clothing treatment type identifier according to the current clothing treatment type after obtaining the identifier, so as to be used as the previous clothing treatment type identifier during the next start-up process of the washer-dryer, and thus process the clothing according to the selected corresponding program.

[0066] Specifically, the washer-dryer application control program can determine the previous operation flag bit. The flag bit can use a 1-bit data bit, where 0 represents the laundry process and 1 represents the drying process. For the washer-dryer, if the flag bit of the previous working process is 0, it is determined that the previous working process is the laundry process. Similarly, if the flag bit of the previous working process is 1, it is determined that the previous working process is the drying process.

[0067] Here, as Figure 3As shown, if the washer-dryer is working and the received work instruction is for the dryer to work, it is determined that the current working process is the drying process. Similarly, if the washer-dryer is working and the received work instruction is for the washer to work, it is determined that the current working process is the washing process. Specifically, each time the washer-dryer receives a work instruction and finishes judging the previous working process, the running flag is updated according to the work instruction, so as to be used as the clothing processing type identifier obtained by the washer-dryer during the next work.

[0068] Here, when the previous working process is the drying process and the current process is also the drying process, the running flag bit of the dryer can also be updated and no further operation is performed. Since there is already enough condensed water stored in the first water box when both the previous process and the current process are the drying process, the washer-dryer further includes a drainage channel. The drainage channel is connected to the laundry tub and can be used to drain the washing water when the laundry tub is working. A second overflow port is provided at the upper part of the second water box, and the second overflow port is communicated with the drainage channel through a second overflow pipe. The second overflow pipe is suitable for draining the excess condensed water in the second water box that exceeds the preset water volume, and the overflowed condensed water is drained out of the washer-dryer through the drainage channel. The laundry sewage generated by the laundry tub during the washing process flows out of the washer-dryer through the drainage channel.

[0069] The condensate water circulation control device of the washer-dryer according to the second aspect of the embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[0070] The washer-dryer is provided with a laundry tub, a drying tub and a first water box. The first water box is used for storing the condensed water generated during the drying process of the drying tub and can be selectively connected to the laundry tub to provide washing water to the laundry tub.

[0071] The condensate water circulation control device according to the present invention includes: an acquisition module and a control module. The acquisition module is used to acquire the current clothing processing type of the washer-dryer; the control module is used to control the connection or disconnection of the first water box and the laundry tub when the current clothing processing type is washing. Specifically,

[0072] For example, when the condensate water circulation control program in the computer-readable storage medium is executed, first the previous running flag bit is acquired and judged. When the previous running flag bit is 1, it is determined that the previous working process is the drying process. At this time, condensed water accumulates in the second water box and also in the first water box. When the current working process is the washing process, the condensed water in the first water box is controlled to flow into the laundry tub, and at this time the laundry tub fills with water. At this time, the computer-readable storage medium updates the flag and stores it; when the current working process is the drying process, the computer-readable storage medium updates the flag and stores it.

[0073] When the last run flag bit is 0, it is determined that the previous working process is the laundry process, and at this time, all the condensed water in the first water box is drained. When the current working process is the laundry process, water enters the laundry tub, and at this time, the computer-readable storage medium updates the flag and stores it; when the current working process is the drying process, if the water level of the condensed water in the second water box reaches the preset water level, then the second water box conveys the condensed water to the first water box, and at this time, the computer-readable storage medium updates the flag and stores it.

[0074] The washing and drying integrated machine according to the third aspect of the embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0075] The washing and drying integrated machine according to the present invention is provided with a laundry tub, a drying tub, a first water box and a second water box. The first water box is used to store the condensed water generated during the drying process of the drying tub, and is selectively connected to the laundry tub to provide washing water for the laundry tub. The second water box is used to collect the condensed water generated during the drying process of the drying tub, and the second water box can selectively convey the condensed water to the first water box.

[0076] The washing and drying integrated machine also has a control device. The control device is used to implement the condensed water circulation control method of the washing and drying integrated machine according to any one of the above embodiments when executed.

[0077] The computer-readable storage medium according to the fourth aspect of the embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0078] The computer-readable storage medium according to the present invention stores a condensed water circulation control program for a washing and drying integrated machine. When the condensed water circulation control program of the washing and drying integrated machine is executed by a processor, it implements the condensed water circulation control method of the washing and drying integrated machine according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0079] In summary, the condensed water circulation control method disclosed in the present invention judges the current working process and the previous working process of the washing and drying integrated machine, and when the previous working process is the drying process and the current working process is the laundry process, the condensed water collected in the drying process is discharged into the laundry tub as the washing water in the laundry process. The condensed water control method of the present application also sets that when the previous working process is the laundry process and the current process is the drying process, the water level detector is used to detect the height of the collected condensed water, and after reaching the preset height, the condensed water in the second water box is conveyed to the first water box to realize the collection of the condensed water in the first water box, avoiding the ineffective work of collecting the condensed water. The circulation control method of the condensed water in the present application realizes the collection and utilization of the condensed water, and at the same time solves the problem of ineffective collection during the collection of the condensed water, reduces the water consumption and energy consumption of the washing and drying integrated machine, and makes the washing and drying integrated machine more energy-saving and environment-friendly.
