[0037] With the improvement of living standards, people have more choices in clothing. People can choose to wear corresponding clothes for different occasions and purposes. In gatherings such as parties and comic exhibitions, more people choose to wear special clothes such as Hanfu and cosplay costumes.

[0038] Hanfu, also known as Han clothing, Han costume, and Chinese clothing. The most basic feature of Hanfu is that the top is a cross-collared, right-fronted top, and the lower skirt wraps around the lower body, all tied with a belt. During the long process of development, the fabrics, patterns, styles, cutting methods, and production processes of Hanfu have been constantly innovated, with more and more styles and shapes, and more and more exquisite appearance.

[0039] Currently, when washing such clothes, due to the design of the clothing structure such as the ties and hems of the clothes, the clothes are easily entangled during the washing process, resulting in poor washing effect, shortening the life of the clothes, and even possibly causing damage to the clothes.

[0040] Based on this, in various embodiments of the present application, the washing device controls the barrel to run at least two speeds during the main wash phase of the washing process; wherein the at least two speeds include at least the first speed; when the barrel runs at the first speed, the absolute value of the difference between the ratio of the centrifugal force generated and the gravity corresponding to the laundry in the barrel and 1 is less than the first set threshold. In the above scheme, the centrifugal force on the laundry is controlled by controlling the speed of the barrel in the main wash phase, so that the laundry fits the inner wall of the barrel but not tightly under the combined action of the centrifugal force and the gravity, and the laundry can be stretched on the inner wall of the barrel, so that the laundry can be evenly beaten on various parts of the barrel, thereby making full use of the inner wall space of the barrel for washing, and the washing intensity is adapted to the characteristics of the laundry, so that the probability of the laundry being entangled is reduced, and the situation of the laundry being entangled during the washing process is improved, so that the laundry can be washed more cleanly and the washing effect of the laundry is improved. At the same time, due to the improvement of the situation of the laundry being entangled, the laundry is subjected to more balanced force during the washing process, avoiding the damage of the laundry caused by the uneven local force, thereby reducing the probability of the laundry being damaged, especially the probability of the laundry being damaged with special shapes, and extending the life of the laundry.

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0042] Figure 1The present invention provides a washing device control method for washing equipment, which is applied to washing equipment. It should be noted that washing equipment refers to equipment that can wash clothes, including but not limited to washing machines and washing-drying machines. Here, the washing equipment is set as a washing machine for example.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the washing equipment control method includes:

[0044] Step 101: Control the barrel of the washing equipment to operate at at least two rotation speeds in the first washing stage.

[0045] Among them, the first washing stage represents the main wash stage of the washing process; the at least two speeds include at least the first speed; the absolute value of the first difference corresponding to the first speed is less than the first set threshold; the first difference represents the difference between the first ratio and 1; the first ratio represents the ratio of the centrifugal force generated when the barrel body runs at the corresponding speed to the gravity corresponding to the washed clothes in the barrel body.

[0046] The barrel body is connected to a motor driving device that drives the barrel body to operate. The washing device controls the motor driving device connected to the barrel body so that the barrel body is driven by the motor driving device to operate at a set speed, and generates a force on the laundry through the operation of the barrel body, drives the laundry to move, and generates a centrifugal force corresponding to the laundry. Here, a washing control program can be set for the washing device. Based on the set washing control program, the washing device controls the motor driving device to drive the barrel body to operate at a corresponding speed during a set period of time. The speed represents the angular velocity of the barrel body rotating along the central axis. Centrifugal force is a figurative representation of the centripetal force required for the laundry to make a circular motion along the barrel body.

[0047] Here, the first speed can be determined based on the relationship between the centrifugal force and gravity exerted on the laundry in the barrel when the barrel runs at a corresponding speed. By adjusting the speed, when the absolute value of the difference between the ratio of the centrifugal force and the gravity and 1 is less than the first set threshold, the corresponding speed is the first speed. In this way, a setting range of the first speed is determined based on the relationship between the centrifugal force and the gravity, and any value within this setting range is taken as the first speed.

[0048] In a washing process, at least the first washing stage, i.e., the main washing stage, is included. In the main washing stage, the washing equipment uses liquid as a medium and combines the effect of detergent to peel off the dirt adsorbed on the clothes to achieve the purpose of washing clothes. This is the main washing stage of the entire washing process. The first washing stage is divided into at least two time periods, and the barrel body runs at a corresponding rotation speed in each time period, and the barrel body in the first washing stage runs at at least two rotation speeds. In other words, in the first washing stage, the rotation speed of the barrel body is not fixed, and the rotation speed will change when the conditions of the set time period are met. In addition, the barrel body runs at the first rotation speed in at least one time period of the first washing stage.

[0049] Here, when the barrel body is running at the first speed, a first ratio is determined based on the centrifugal force on the laundry in the barrel body and the gravity of the laundry, and a first difference is determined by the difference between the first ratio and 1, and the absolute value of the first difference is less than a first set threshold. By setting the first set threshold, the centrifugal force on the laundry is equivalent to the gravity, and under the joint action of the centrifugal force and the gravity, the laundry is attached to the inner wall of the barrel body but not tightly, and the laundry can move on the inner wall of the barrel body to achieve the stretching of the laundry, so that the laundry can be evenly beaten on various parts of the barrel body, thereby making full use of the inner wall space of the barrel body for washing, and the washing intensity is adapted to the characteristics of the laundry, so that the probability of the laundry being entangled is greatly reduced and the washing effect of the laundry is improved.

[0050] Furthermore, when clothes are dropped, the force is more evenly distributed, thus avoiding damage to the clothes caused by uneven local force due to entanglement and tearing, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the clothes, especially the probability of damage to clothes with special shapes, and extending the life of the clothes.

[0051] In addition, during the washing process of clothes, if the barrel runs at a single speed, the clothes are repeatedly washed with the same force, which can easily cause the clothes to be deformed in a way that is difficult to recover. This is similar to always folding clothes in the same position. Here, the deformation of clothes will affect or even destroy the shape of the clothes. In particular, for clothes with special shapes such as Hanfu, the destruction of the shape usually means the end of the life of the clothes. In this embodiment, washing at at least two speeds in the first washing stage can improve the deformation of clothes caused by washing at a single speed and extend the life of the clothes.

[0052] In practical applications, the washing process of the washing device can be carried out by liquid washing. When the washing device is a drum washing machine, the barrel body usually refers to the inner barrel.

[0053] It should be noted that the first rotation speed has nothing to do with the quality of the laundry, but is only related to the specifications of the washing device. In some embodiments, the first rotation speed is determined based on the diameter of the barrel.

[0054] As mentioned above, when the barrel body runs at the first speed, the absolute value of the difference between the ratio of the centrifugal force generated and the gravity corresponding to the laundry in the barrel body and 1 is less than the first set threshold value, that is, the centrifugal force on the laundry is equivalent to the gravity. It can be seen that the barrel body running at the first speed can make the centrifugal force on the laundry equivalent to the gravity. The centrifugal force is related to the mass, the radius of the circular motion and the speed, and the gravity is related to the mass and the acceleration of gravity.

[0055] Here, the absolute value of the difference between the ratio of the centrifugal force and the gravity and 1 is made smaller than the first set threshold value, and half of the diameter of the barrel, that is, the radius of the barrel, is used as the radius of the circular motion to calculate the value range of the first speed, thereby determining at least one first speed. In this way, the barrel running at the determined first speed can make the laundry fit closely to the inner wall of the barrel, but not tightly, and the laundry can stretch on the inner wall of the barrel.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first rotational speed is determined based on a square root of a second ratio; the second ratio represents a ratio of a diameter of the barrel to gravitational acceleration.

[0057] Here, the first difference is determined by the difference between the ratio of the centrifugal force and the gravity exerted on the laundry and 1, and the absolute value of the first difference is less than the first set threshold value, and the following formula (1) can be constructed:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, m is the mass of the laundry; D is the diameter of the barrel, usually the inner diameter of the barrel; ω is the rotation speed of the barrel; g is the acceleration of gravity; a is the first set threshold, and the value range is (0,0.5].

[0060] Here, the first set threshold may be set to a value greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.5.

[0061] The second ratio is determined based on the barrel diameter and the gravitational acceleration, and the square root calculation result of the second ratio is substituted into formula (1) to determine the value range of the first rotation speed, thereby determining at least one first rotation speed. In this way, the barrel running at the determined first rotation speed can make the laundry fit closely to the inner wall of the barrel, but not tightly, and the laundry can stretch on the inner wall of the barrel.

[0062] It should be noted that, for each washing device, once the diameter of the barrel is determined, the rotation speed that makes the centrifugal force and gravity of the clothes equal is determined, that is, the center value of the value range of the first rotation speed is determined, and after setting the first set threshold, the value range of the first rotation speed is also determined. It can be seen that the first rotation speed is independent of the mass of the laundry put in each washing process, and the first rotation speed can be determined before performing the laundry washing. In some embodiments, the first rotation speed is greater than 60rpm and less than 70rpm. Here, the value range of the first rotation speed is 60 rpm to 70 rpm, for example 61 rpm, 62 rpm, 65 rpm, 68 rpm or 69 rpm.

[0063] Furthermore, a washing control program can be set for the washing device, and the washing control program controls the barrel to run at the first speed in at least one period of the first washing stage, thereby reducing the probability of special-shaped clothes getting tangled during the washing process and improving the tangling of clothes. At the same time, since the tangling of clothes is improved, the laces and hems of special-shaped clothes are not easy to get tangled, so that the force on these clothing structures is more balanced, avoiding damage to the clothes caused by uneven local force due to tangling, and extending the life of the clothes.

[0064] When setting the washing control program, in some embodiments, a third ratio between the first time duration and the total time duration of the first washing stage is greater than a set percentage; the first time duration represents the running time of the barrel body at the first speed in the first washing stage.

[0065] Here, in the first washing stage, the third ratio of the running time of the barrel body at the first speed to the total time of the first washing stage is greater than the set percentage. In this way, in the first washing stage, the time of the barrel body running at the first speed accounts for no less than the set percentage of the total time, so as to ensure that the effect of the barrel body running at the first speed can be achieved, that is, the entanglement of clothes in the washing process is improved.

[0066] In some embodiments, the set percentage is greater than or equal to 60%.

[0067] By setting the set percentage to a value greater than or equal to 60%, the third ratio is made greater than the set percentage, that is, the washing speed of the barrel in the main wash stage is mainly the first speed.

[0068] Here, the range of the set percentage is greater than or equal to 60%, such as 60%, 61%, 65%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%. Taking the set percentage of 60% as an example, the third ratio between the first duration and the total duration of the first washing stage is greater than 60%.

[0069] In this way, in the main wash stage mainly using the first speed, the probability of clothes being entangled is reduced while washing clothes, and the situation of clothes being entangled during the washing process is improved, so that the clothes can be washed more cleanly and the washing effect of the clothes is improved.

[0070] As mentioned above, the first washing stage is divided into at least two time periods, and the barrel body runs at a corresponding rotation speed in each time period, and the barrel body runs at least two rotation speeds in these time periods. In some embodiments, the barrel body of the washing device is controlled to run at least two rotation speeds in the first washing stage, including:

[0071] The barrel of the washing device is controlled to run at least three speeds in the first washing stage; the at least three speeds also include:

[0072] a second speed; the first difference corresponding to the second speed is greater than a second set threshold; the second set threshold is greater than the first set threshold;

[0073] At least one third rotational speed; the first difference corresponding to each third rotational speed of the at least one third rotational speed is less than 0.

[0074] Here, the barrel of the washing device is controlled to operate at at least three speeds in the first washing stage, and the at least three speeds include a first speed, a second speed and at least a third speed. The first washing stage includes at least three time periods, and in each different time period, the barrel operates at one of the at least three speeds.

[0075] By adjusting the speed, when the difference between the ratio of centrifugal force and gravity and 1 is greater than the second set threshold, the corresponding speed is the second speed. The second set threshold is greater than the first set threshold. In this way, a setting range of the second speed is determined based on the relationship between centrifugal force and gravity, and any value can be taken as the second speed within this setting range. In some embodiments, the second speed is greater than 100 rpm.

[0076] At the second speed, the centrifugal force on the laundry is greater than the gravity, and in some embodiments the centrifugal force is even much greater than the gravity. Under the combined effect of the centrifugal force and the gravity, the flow rate of the washing water increases, and the detergent is flushed by the water flow, so that the detergent is fully dissolved in the washing water. At the same time, the high-speed water flow can press and wash the laundry.

[0077] By adjusting the speed, when the difference between the ratio of centrifugal force and gravity and 1 is less than the third set threshold, the corresponding speed is the third speed. The third set threshold is less than or equal to the opposite of the first set threshold. In this way, a setting range of the third speed is determined based on the relationship between centrifugal force and gravity, and at least one arbitrary value can be taken within this setting range as at least one third speed. In some embodiments, the third speed is less than or equal to 60rpm. Preferably, the third speed is less than or equal to 55rpm and greater than or equal to 30rpm.

[0078] For the third speed, the centrifugal force on the washed clothes is less than the gravity. The clothes are lifted and dropped by the lifting ribs in the barrel, and are thrown under the combined action of centrifugal force and gravity. In this way, by controlling the barrel to run at the third speed, the clothes are turned over and washed in the barrel, so that all surfaces of the clothes can be washed, and the washing is cleaner, thereby improving the washing effect of the clothes. Among them, the first difference corresponding to the third speed can be less than the third set threshold; the third set threshold is less than or equal to the opposite number of the first set threshold.

[0079] For the washing process of clothes, if the barrel runs at a single speed, the clothes are repeatedly washed with the same force, which can easily cause the clothes to be deformed and difficult to recover. This is similar to always folding clothes in the same position. Here, the deformation of clothes will affect or even destroy the shape of the clothes. In particular, for clothes with special shapes such as Hanfu, the destruction of the shape usually means the end of the life of the clothes. In this embodiment, washing at at least three speeds in the first washing stage can improve the deformation of clothes caused by washing at a single speed and extend the life of the clothes.

[0080] At the same time, different speeds have different effects. The first speed reduces the probability of clothes getting tangled and can improve the washing effect of clothes. The second speed can make the washing water fully dissolve the detergent and press the clothes for washing. The third speed can wash all surfaces of clothes by turning and beating the clothes. By combining the above three speeds, the washing effect of clothes can be improved while improving the deformation of clothes.

[0081] As mentioned above, the first washing stage is divided into at least two time periods, and the barrel body runs at a corresponding rotation speed in each time period. In some embodiments, the barrel body of the washing device is controlled to run at least three rotation speeds in the first washing stage, including:

[0082] The barrel body of the washing equipment is sequentially controlled to operate at the second speed in the first time period, to operate at a third speed among the at least one third speed in the second time period, to operate at the first speed in the third time period, and to operate at a third speed among the at least one third speed in the fourth time period.

[0083] Here, the first washing stage includes at least a first period, a second period, a third period and a fourth period, the barrel body runs at the second speed in the first period, runs at a third speed in the second period, runs at the first speed in the third period, and runs at a third speed in the fourth period. The second period and the fourth period can be the same third speed or different third speeds.

[0084] Here, any one of the first time period, the second time period, the third time period and the fourth time period may include at least two time periods. Moreover, in the first washing stage of a washing process, the order of each time period may be set as required.

[0085] In this embodiment, in the first washing stage, by arranging the order of different time periods and cyclically executing washing at corresponding speeds, deformation of clothes caused by washing at a single speed can be improved, thereby extending the life of the clothes.

[0086] Since Hanfu, cosplay costumes and other clothing are often worn for special occasions, the materials and processes used in the production of clothing are also corresponding. Usually, these clothes have special and complex shapes, and are prone to floating color, entanglement and deformation during the washing process.

[0087] In some embodiments, before controlling the barrel of the washing device to operate at at least two rotation speeds in the first washing stage, the method further includes:

[0088] The barrel of the washing device is controlled to run at a first rotation speed in a third washing stage; the third washing stage represents a pre-washing stage of the washing process before the first washing stage.

[0089] Before the first washing stage, there is a third washing stage. In the third washing stage, the washing device controls the barrel to run at the second set speed, and generates a force on the laundry through the operation of the barrel, drives the movement of the laundry, and generates a centrifugal force corresponding to the laundry. Preferably, the second set speed is the first speed.

[0090] In this way, before the main wash stage, the dirt on the surface of the clothes that is easy to dissolve and fall off, such as the dyes on the clothes and the dust attached to the surface, is pre-treated in this stage and then drained away through drainage. In this way, the amount of dyes and dirt falling in the main wash stage is reduced, and the situation of color and dirt bleeding of clothes during the washing process is improved.

[0091] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0092] The water level in the barrel of the washing device is controlled to be higher than a set height.

[0093] In at least one washing stage, the water level in the barrel of the washing device is controlled to be higher than the set height of the corresponding washing stage. The set height may be the normal washing water level of the washing device in the corresponding washing stage. The water level in the barrel of the washing device is controlled to be at least higher than the set height, thereby increasing the probability of clothes falling on the water surface when being thrown, and reducing the wear of clothes caused by friction with the inner wall of the barrel. At the same time, since the probability of clothes being thrown on other clothes is reduced, the situation of color transfer and contamination of clothes during the washing process can be improved.

[0094] Preferably, the at least one washing stage comprises at least a first washing stage.

[0095] Preferably, the first liquid surface at least covers the surface of the clothes.

[0096] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0097] The water temperature during operation of the washing device is controlled to be lower than a set temperature.

[0098] Since the higher the temperature of the washing water, the more intense the molecular motion is, generally, in at least one washing stage, the washing machine uses heated washing water for washing, so that the washed clothes are cleaner.

[0099] Here, in at least one washing stage, the water temperature of the washing device is controlled to be lower than the set temperature during operation. The set temperature may be set to room temperature, such as 25°C. The method of controlling the water temperature of the washing device to be lower than the set temperature includes but is not limited to: not heating the washing water; controlling the temperature of the washing water by a temperature control device.

[0100] The higher the temperature of the washing water, the weaker the binding force between the dye molecules and the fibers, and the easier it is for the clothes to fade. In this embodiment, washing clothes with washing water whose water temperature is lower than the set temperature can reduce the amount of dye falling, reduce the fading of clothes, and improve the situation of color bleeding during the washing process.

[0101] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0102] The barrel of the washing device is controlled to run at a fourth speed in the second washing stage; wherein,

[0103] The second washing stage represents the dehydration stage of the washing process; the fourth rotation speed is lower than the first set rotation speed.

[0104] The greater the speed of the barrel, the greater the corresponding centrifugal force, and the better the dehydration effect of the clothes. Usually, in the dehydration stage, the washing device controls the barrel to run at a first set speed to dehydrate. The first set speed can be the usual speed of the washing device in the dehydration stage.

[0105] Here, in the second washing stage, the washing device controls the barrel to operate at a fourth speed lower than the first set speed.

[0106] The greater the centrifugal force, the tighter the clothes fit against the inner wall of the barrel, which can easily cause the clothes to be wrinkled and deformed, which is difficult to recover. Here, by reducing the rotation speed, the deformation of the clothes caused by the centrifugal force can be improved, and the life of the clothes can be extended.

[0107] Preferably, the washing process does not include the second washing stage of the dehydration stage. By not dehydrating the clothes, the deformation of the clothes caused by centrifugal force can be improved, and the life of the clothes can be extended.

[0108] Based on the method flow of the above embodiment, taking a drum washing machine as an example, the specific implementation process of the washing device control method of the embodiment of the present invention is further described in detail. The washing device includes an inner barrel, that is, a barrel body of the washing device.

[0109] At present, drum washing machines do not have washing control programs for special-shaped clothes such as Hanfu. These clothes are prone to floating color, entanglement and deformation during the washing process. Improper washing paradigms will damage the appearance of the clothes and shorten the service life of the clothes.

[0110] Here, by setting the washing control program to wash special clothes such as Hanfu and cosplay costumes, Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the implementation flow of the washing equipment control method shown.

[0111] Step 201: The inner tub runs at a first rotation speed for a time t0.

[0112] Here, a pre-wash stage is added before the main wash stage. In this stage, severe floating colors and stains on the surface of clothes are pre-treated and then drained away. This can reduce the amount of dyes and stains falling in the main wash stage and reduce the risk of color and stain cross-contamination.

[0113] When washing at the first speed, the centrifugal force generated by the clothes when the inner barrel rotates is equivalent to the weight of the clothes. The first speed here can fluctuate by 5rpm. At this time, the clothes are in a "half-closed barrel" movement, that is, the washing clothes are close to the inner wall of the barrel but not tightly, which can make full use of the inner barrel space. The clothes are stretched to the maximum during the washing process, and the clothes are thrown on the upper part of the inner barrel, which greatly reduces the probability of entanglement and can wash the clothes cleanly.

[0114] Here, the value range of the first rotation speed can be determined according to formula (1). In practical applications, it can be greater than 60 rpm and less than 70 rpm.

[0115] Step 202: The inner tub runs at the second rotational speed for t1 time, runs at a third rotational speed for t2 time, runs at the first rotational speed for t3 time, and runs at a third rotational speed for t4 time.

[0116] During different periods of the main wash phase, the inner tub operates at least at a first rotational speed, a second rotational speed and at least one third rotational speed.

[0117] When washing at the second speed, the centrifugal force on the laundry is greater than the gravity. In some embodiments, the centrifugal force is even much greater than the gravity. Under the combined effect of centrifugal force and gravity, the flow rate of the washing water increases, and the detergent is fully dissolved in the washing water by flushing the detergent with the high-speed water flow. At the same time, the high-speed water flow can press the laundry to wash. In practical applications, the second speed is also called the rotary drum washing speed. In practical applications, the second speed can be greater than 100rpm.

[0118] When washing at the third speed, the centrifugal force on the washed clothes is less than the gravity. The clothes are lifted and dropped by the lifting ribs in the barrel, so that the clothes are turned over and washed in the barrel, and are thrown under the combined action of centrifugal force and gravity. In this way, by controlling the barrel to run at the third speed, all surfaces of the clothes can be washed, and the washing is cleaner, which improves the washing effect of the clothes. In practical applications, the third speed can be less than or equal to 55rpm and greater than or equal to 30rpm.

[0119] If the drum runs at a single speed, the clothes are repeatedly subjected to the same force, which can easily cause deformation that is difficult to recover, which is similar to folding the clothes in the same position. Here, the deformation of the clothes will affect or even destroy the shape of the clothes. In particular, for clothes with special shapes such as Hanfu, the destruction of the shape usually means the end of the life of the clothes. In this embodiment, the clothes are washed in a cycle at different washing speeds, which can reduce the risk of deformation that is difficult to recover caused by repeated washing at a single washing speed.

[0120] It should be noted that the operation sequence of the first speed, the second speed and at least one third speed can be switched, and the operation time of the first speed accounts for more than 60% of the total operation time. In this way, the deformation of clothes can be reduced by washing in cycles with multiple speeds.

[0121] Here, the amount of washing water in a drum washing machine is usually small. By increasing the amount of washing water and raising the washing liquid level, the probability of clothes falling on the water surface when being thrown can be increased, effectively reducing the wear caused by the friction between the clothes and the inner wall of the drum. In addition, the high liquid level can reduce the risk of color bleeding and reduce the wear of clothes.

[0122] Here, drum washing machines usually need to be heated for washing. The higher the water temperature, the more intense the molecular movement, the weaker the binding force between the dye molecules and the fibers, and the easier it is for the clothes to fade. Therefore, using cold water for washing can reduce the amount of dye falling, reduce the fading of clothes, and improve the situation of color transfer during the washing process.

[0123] Step 203: low speed dehydration or no dehydration.

[0124] The higher the spin speed, the greater the centrifugal force. The clothes will be pressed heavily against the inner drum by the high-speed water flow, resulting in wrinkles that are difficult to restore. Therefore, reducing the speed or not spinning can reduce the impact of centrifugal force on the deformation of clothes and extend the life of clothes.

[0125] Step 204: The inner tub runs at the first rotation speed for a time t5.

[0126] Here, rinsing is performed after the main wash stage to further clean the wash water mixed with detergent and dirt in the clothes.

[0127] Step 205: spin at a low speed or do not spin.

[0128] The higher the spin speed, the greater the centrifugal force. The clothes will be pressed heavily against the inner drum by the high-speed water flow, resulting in wrinkles that are difficult to restore. Therefore, reducing the speed or not spinning can reduce the impact of centrifugal force on the deformation of clothes and extend the life of clothes.
