Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical equipment technology, specifically, it relates to a control method for a clothing processing device and a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] "Clothing handling devices" refers to a general term for a class of household appliances that can perform washing, rinsing and drying programs, such as washer-dryer combos.

[0003] Currently, garment cleaning devices have become common household appliances. After washing clothes, if excessive amounts of garment cleaning agents (such as laundry detergent) remain, it can cause skin irritation, allergies, or even skin ulcers when people wear the clothes. Therefore, reducing the amount of garment cleaning agent residue on clothing has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] Existing solutions for reducing the amount of garment treatment agent residue on clothing include:

[0005] The concentration of laundry detergent in the wastewater is detected. When the detected concentration is high, it indicates that there is a lot of laundry detergent residue on the clothes. At this time, the laundry treatment device is controlled to rinse the clothes multiple times to remove the residual laundry detergent.

[0006] However, in the above scheme, the content of laundry detergent in the washing wastewater is relatively small, which leads to a large error in the detection results of the concentration of laundry detergent in the washing wastewater. Therefore, the detected concentration cannot accurately reflect the amount of laundry detergent residue on the clothes.

[0007] Furthermore, the method described above for detecting the content of laundry detergent in wastewater has low sensitivity. When the wastewater contains a large amount of dirt, it can interfere with the detection results. Moreover, as the detection device is used for longer periods, it becomes more corrosive to the wastewater, leading to decreased sensitivity and consequently, inaccurate results.

[0008] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a control method for a garment treatment device to reduce garment treatment agent residue on garments. Another purpose of this invention is to provide a garment treatment device to achieve automated cleaning of residual garment treatment agents on garments.

[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0011] A control method for a garment treatment device includes a rinsing program and a drying program. During the drying process, condensate is generated. During the drying process, the residual amount of garment treatment agent in the condensate is obtained. If the obtained residual amount is greater than a preset residual amount, the rinsing program is executed.

[0012] Furthermore, obtaining the residual amount of laundry detergent in the condensate water includes: controlling the collection of condensate water and obtaining the residual amount of laundry detergent in the collected condensate water;

[0013] Preferably, collecting condensate includes controlling the collection of condensate into a water tank at the bottom of the garment handling device.

[0014] Furthermore, after the rinsing process is completed, the condensate is collected again and the residual amount of laundry detergent in the condensate is re-acquired;

[0015] Preferably, the process of collecting condensate again includes: controlling the discharge of condensate from the water storage tank, and after the rinsing process is completed, controlling the collection of condensate back into the water storage tank.

[0016] Furthermore, the rinsing procedure includes: controlling rinsing parameters based on the obtained residual amount;

[0017] Preferably, the rinsing parameters include the number of rinsing cycles and / or rinsing time and / or rinsing water volume, and the rinsing parameters are controlled to be positively correlated with the obtained residual amount.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a spray washing program that sprays the clothes; if the amount of residue obtained is greater than a preset amount of residue, the spray washing program is controlled to be executed.

[0019] Furthermore, performing the spray washing procedure includes: controlling the spray washing parameters based on the obtained residual amount;

[0020] Preferably, the spray washing parameters include spray intensity and / or spray duration, and the spray washing parameters are controlled to be positively correlated with the obtained residual amount.

[0021] Furthermore, a first residual amount a1 is preset. If the obtained residual amount a > a1, the rinsing procedure and / or spray washing procedure are executed.

[0022] Preferably, a second residual amount a2 is preset, where a2 > a1. If the obtained residual amount a1 < a ≤ a2, the spray washing program is executed; if the obtained residual amount a ≥ a2, the rinsing program is executed.

[0023] Preferably, if the obtained residual amount a ≥ a2, then after the rinsing process is completed, the spray washing process is controlled to be executed.

[0024] Furthermore, if the amount of residue obtained is greater than the preset amount of residue, the drying program is paused and a message prompting the user to perform the rinsing program is output.

[0025] Preferably, a preset prompt duration t0 is provided. If a control command to continue drying is received within the prompt duration t0, the drying program is controlled to continue drying; otherwise, the rinsing program is executed.

[0026] Furthermore, the amount of garment treatment agent and its corresponding original rinsing parameters are preset. If a rinsing program is executed during the drying process, the rinsing parameters corresponding to the rinsing program are updated to the original rinsing parameters.

[0027] Preferably, updating the original rinsing parameters includes: updating the number of rinsing cycles, the rinsing time for each rinsing cycle, and the rinsing water volume to the original rinsing parameters.

[0028] The present invention also provides a garment processing device, which is controlled by any of the control methods described above.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0030] In this invention, by obtaining the residual amount of laundry detergent in the condensate, the residual amount of laundry detergent on the clothes can be accurately determined. If the obtained residual amount is greater than the preset residual amount, it indicates that there is a large amount of laundry detergent residue on the clothes. Controlling the execution of the rinsing program can rinse and remove the laundry detergent from the clothes, reducing the residue of the laundry detergent.

[0031] The clothing treatment device of the present invention is controlled by the control method of the present invention, which enables the clothing treatment device to automatically detect and remove residual clothing treatment agent on clothing, thereby improving the treatment effect of the clothing treatment device on clothing and enhancing the user experience.

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0042] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0043] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention discloses a control method for a washing device.

[0044] "Clothes handling devices" refers to a general term for household appliances that can perform washing, rinsing, and drying programs, such as washer-dryer combos. Clothes handling devices require the addition of a clothes handling agent to assist in processing the clothes; these agents include detergents and disinfectants.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this invention discloses a control method for a garment processing device. The garment processing device includes a rinsing process and a drying process. The rinsing process refers to the process of washing away the dirty water mixed with garment processing agent from the garments. The drying process refers to the process of drying the garments.

[0046] Specifically, after the clothes in the garment processing unit are washed, rinsed, and dehydrated, the heating element of the drying equipment is heated to heat the air. The hot air enters the drum, exchanges heat with the clothes, and carries away the moisture. When the moisture passes through the condenser of the drying equipment, it is cooled down to form condensate. The condensate is discharged by a drain pump, and the air continues to flow to the heating element, is heated again, and re-enters the drum. This cycle continues, continuously removing moisture from the clothes until drying is complete.

[0047] The control method of the clothing treatment device in this invention includes: during the drying process, obtaining the residual amount of clothing treatment agent in the condensate; if the obtained residual amount is greater than the preset residual amount, then controlling the execution of the rinsing program.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control methods include:

[0049] S1. Washing complete;

[0050] S2, Begin rinsing;

[0051] S3. Determine if rinsing is complete;

[0052] S4. If yes, begin drying; otherwise, repeat steps S2 to S4.

[0053] S5. Preset residual amount a0. During the drying process, obtain the residual amount a of the laundry detergent in the condensate.

[0054] S6. Determine whether the obtained residual amount a is greater than the preset residual amount a0;

[0055] S7. If yes, execute steps S2 to S7; otherwise, execute step S8.

[0056] S8. Determine if drying is complete;

[0057] S9. If yes, control the drying program to end; otherwise, control the drying process and execute steps S5 to S9.

[0058] One method for obtaining the residual amount of laundry detergent in condensate water includes:

[0059] The spectral data of the condensate is collected using a spectrometer, and its corresponding spectrum is generated. The spectrum is then analyzed to determine the concentration of the surfactant in the condensate, and thus the concentration of the laundry detergent. Alternatively, the residual amount of laundry detergent in the condensate can be determined by testing its conductivity.

[0060] In this invention, by obtaining the residual amount of laundry detergent in the condensate, the residual amount of laundry detergent on the clothing can be accurately determined. If the obtained residual amount is greater than the preset residual amount, it indicates that there is a large amount of laundry detergent residue on the clothing. Controlling the execution of the rinsing program can remove the laundry detergent from the clothing, reducing the amount of laundry detergent residue.

[0061] As one embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the residual amount of laundry detergent in condensate water includes:

[0062] S51. Control the collection of condensate;

[0063] S52. Control the residual amount of laundry detergent in the collected condensate.

[0064] Specifically, in step S51, when the drying program starts, the system controls the collection of condensate. In step S52, when the collected condensate reaches a set amount v0, the system controls the acquisition of the residual amount of laundry detergent in the collected condensate.

[0065] In this embodiment, the collection of condensate is controlled to avoid directly draining the condensate, which would prevent effective detection of the laundry detergent content in the condensate. The amount of residual laundry detergent in the collected condensate is controlled; since the collected condensate volume is relatively large, it meets the detection requirements, thus ensuring a more accurate determination of the residual amount.

[0066] As one implementation method of this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, collecting condensate water includes controlling the collection of condensate water into a water storage tank at the bottom of the garment processing device.

[0067] In this embodiment, the condensate is collected into a water tank at the bottom of the garment treatment device. The collection method is simple and has high collection efficiency, which further helps to improve the detection efficiency of garment treatment agent residue.

[0068] In another embodiment of the present invention, after the rinsing process is completed, the condensate is collected again and the residual amount of laundry detergent in the condensate is obtained again.

[0069] Specifically, when the obtained residual amount a is greater than the preset residual amount a0, the rinsing procedure is executed.

[0070] After the rinsing process is completed, the system collects the condensate water again and re-obtains the residual amount of laundry detergent in the condensate water.

[0071] In this embodiment, after the rinsing process is completed, the condensate is collected again to avoid interference from residual condensate from the previous rinsing process. The amount of residual fabric treatment agent in the collected condensate is controlled to accurately represent the amount of residual fabric treatment agent on the clothes after the rinsing process.

[0072] As one implementation of this embodiment, during the rinsing process, the condensate in the water storage tank is controlled to be discharged; after the rinsing process is completed, the condensate is controlled to be collected back into the water storage tank.

[0073] In this embodiment, during the rinsing process, the condensate in the water storage tank is controlled to be discharged, so that the rinsing process and the condensate discharge process can be carried out simultaneously, avoiding separate control of condensate discharge which would occupy drying time and improving drying efficiency.

[0074] The rinsing process re-rinses the clothes, controlling the collection of condensate back into the water tank so that all collected condensate comes from the re-rinsed clothes. The residual amount of garment treatment agent in the collected condensate is controlled to accurately represent the current residual amount of garment treatment agent on the clothes.

[0075] As another implementation method of this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control methods include:

[0076] S1. Washing complete;

[0077] S2, Begin rinsing;

[0078] S3. Determine if rinsing is complete;

[0079] S4. If yes, begin drying; otherwise, repeat steps S2 to S4.

[0080] S5, Preset residual amount a0;

[0081] S6. Control the discharge of condensate from the water storage tank;

[0082] S7. Control the collection of condensate into the water storage tank;

[0083] S8. Obtain the residual amount a of the laundry detergent in the collected condensate;

[0084] S9. Determine whether the obtained residual amount a is greater than the preset residual amount a0;

[0085] S10. If yes, execute steps S2 to S10; otherwise, execute step S11.

[0086] S11. Determine whether drying is complete;

[0087] S12. If yes, control the drying program to end; otherwise, control the drying process to proceed and execute steps S5 to S12.

[0088] In this embodiment, the condensate in the water storage tank is controlled to prevent residual condensate from interfering with the detection results. The residual amount 'a' of the clothing treatment agent in the collected condensate is controlled so that the detected residual amount can represent the residual amount of clothing treatment agent on the current clothing.

[0089] In this embodiment, if the obtained residual amount 'a' is greater than the preset residual amount 'a0', it indicates that the current residual amount of garment treatment agent is large, which in turn indicates that there is still a lot of garment treatment agent remaining on the clothes. Therefore, the garment is rinsed again to remove the garment treatment agent. Otherwise, if the obtained residual amount 'a' is less than or equal to the preset residual amount 'a0', it indicates that there is less garment treatment agent remaining on the clothes. Therefore, the garment treatment device continues drying without needing to rinse again, ensuring high drying efficiency.

[0090] As another embodiment of the present invention, the rinsing procedure includes: controlling rinsing parameters based on the obtained residual amount.

[0091] Specifically, the rinsing parameters include the number of rinsing cycles, rinsing time, and rinsing water volume. The control of these rinsing parameters is positively correlated with the obtained residual amount. Specifically, the higher the obtained residual amount, the greater the required number of rinsing cycles, rinsing time, and rinsing water volume should be.

[0092] In this embodiment, the larger the amount of residue obtained, the more residual the garment treatment agent is on the garment. The number of rinses, rinsing time, and rinsing water volume are increased accordingly to make the garment rinse more thoroughly and ensure that the garment treatment agent on the garment can be rinsed clean.

[0093] In another embodiment of the present invention, the garment treatment apparatus includes a spray washing program for spraying garments. The spray washing program sprays the garments, effectively removing garment treatment agents from them.

[0094] The control method for the garment processing device includes: if the obtained residual amount is greater than the preset residual amount, then controlling the execution of the spray washing program.

[0095] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown: The control method for the garment handling device includes:

[0096] S1. Washing complete;

[0097] S2, Begin rinsing;

[0098] S3. Determine if rinsing is complete;

[0099] S4. If yes, begin drying; otherwise, repeat steps S2 to S4.

[0100] S5. Preset residual amount a0. During the drying process, obtain the residual amount a of the laundry detergent in the condensate.

[0101] S6. Determine whether the obtained residual amount a is greater than the preset residual amount a0;

[0102] S7. If yes, control the execution of the spray washing program. After the spray washing program is completed, control the drying process and execute steps S5 to S7; otherwise, execute step S8.

[0103] S8. Determine if drying is complete;

[0104] S9. If yes, control the drying program to end; otherwise, control the drying process and execute steps S5 to S9.

[0105] In this embodiment, if the obtained residual amount is greater than the preset residual amount, it indicates that there is a large amount of residual fabric treatment agent on the clothes. Controlling the execution of the spray washing program can remove the fabric treatment agent from the clothes by spraying, reducing the amount of residual fabric treatment agent. By spray washing the clothes, a large amount of washing water is not introduced, and there is no need to perform a dehydration program, saving time for the subsequent drying process.

[0106] As one embodiment of the present invention, performing a spray washing procedure includes:

[0107] Based on the obtained residual amount, the spray washing parameters are controlled. Specifically, the spray washing parameters include spray intensity and spray duration, and the control of the spray washing parameters is positively correlated with the obtained residual amount. That is, the larger the obtained residual amount, the greater the corresponding increase in spray intensity and spray duration.

[0108] In this embodiment, the larger the amount of residue obtained, the more residual clothing treatment agent is on the clothing. The spray intensity and spray duration are increased accordingly to ensure that the clothing treatment agent on the clothing can be sprayed clean.

[0109] As another embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the garment processing device includes: preset a first residual amount a1, and if the obtained residual amount a > a1, controlling the execution of the rinsing program and / or spray washing program.

[0110] In this embodiment, if the obtained residual amount a > a1, it indicates that there is a large amount of residual fabric treatment agent on the clothes, and controlling the execution of the rinsing program and spray washing program can effectively remove the residual fabric treatment agent on the clothes.

[0111] As one embodiment of this invention, the control method for the clothing handling device includes:

[0112] A second residual amount a2 is preset, where a2 > a1. If the obtained residual amount a1 < a ≤ a2, the spray washing program is executed; if the obtained residual amount a ≥ a2, the rinsing program is executed.

[0113] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the control method for the garment handling device includes:

[0114] S1. Washing complete;

[0115] S2, Begin rinsing;

[0116] S3. Determine if rinsing is complete;

[0117] S4. If yes, begin drying; otherwise, repeat steps S2 to S4.

[0118] S5, first residual amount a1, second residual amount a2; during the drying process, the residual amount a of the laundry detergent in the condensate is obtained;

[0119] S6. Determine whether the obtained residual amount a satisfies a1<a≤a2;

[0120] S7. If yes, control the execution of the spray washing program. After the spray washing program is completed, control the drying process and execute steps S5 to S7; otherwise, execute step S8.

[0121] S8. Determine whether the obtained residual amount a satisfies the condition that the obtained residual amount a ≥ a2;

[0122] S9. If yes, execute steps S2 to S9; otherwise, execute step S10.

[0123] S10. Determine whether drying is complete;

[0124] S11. If yes, control the drying program to end; otherwise, control the drying process to proceed and execute steps S5 to S11.

[0125] In this embodiment, if the obtained residual amount a1 < a ≤ a2, it indicates that a certain amount of clothing treatment agent remains on the clothes. Controlling the execution of the spray washing program can remove the residual clothing treatment agent without introducing a large amount of washing water, thus ensuring high drying efficiency.

[0126] If the obtained residual amount a≥a2, it indicates that a large amount of laundry detergent remains on the clothes. Controlling the rinsing process ensures that the residual laundry detergent is rinsed off the clothes and helps improve the removal efficiency of the residual laundry detergent.

[0127] As another embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the clothing processing device includes: if the obtained residual amount is greater than the preset residual amount, controlling the drying program to pause, and controlling the output of information prompting the execution of the rinsing program.

[0128] In this embodiment, if the measured residual amount is greater than the preset residual amount, it indicates that there is a large amount of residual laundry detergent on the clothes. The drying program is then paused to avoid wasting energy by continuing drying. The control output prompts the user to perform a rinsing program, allowing the user to decide whether to rinse based on the output prompts. When the user's washing requirements for the clothes are not high, rinsing is unnecessary, and drying can continue. This ensures high drying efficiency while avoiding waste of water and electricity.

[0129] As one embodiment of this invention, the control method of the garment handling device includes: a preset prompt duration t0; if a control command to continue drying is received within the prompt duration t0, the drying program is controlled to continue drying; otherwise, the rinsing program is controlled to be executed.

[0130] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the control method for the garment handling device includes:

[0131] S1. Washing complete;

[0132] S2, Begin rinsing;

[0133] S3. Determine if rinsing is complete;

[0134] S4. If yes, begin drying; otherwise, repeat steps S2 to S4.

[0135] S5, preset residual amount a0, prompt duration t0;

[0136] S6. Control the discharge of condensate from the water storage tank;

[0137] S7. Control the collection of condensate into the water storage tank;

[0138] S8. Obtain the residual amount a of the laundry detergent in the collected condensate;

[0139] S9. Determine whether the obtained residual amount a is greater than the preset residual amount a0;

[0140] S10. If yes, pause drying, output a message prompting the rinsing program to be executed, and proceed to step S11; otherwise, proceed to steps S15 to S16.

[0141] S11. Start timing after outputting the prompt message;

[0142] S12. Determine whether the timing duration t is less than the preset prompt duration t0;

[0143] S13. If yes, determine whether a control command to continue drying has been received and execute step S14; otherwise, repeat steps S2 to S13.

[0144] S14. If yes, continue drying and proceed to step S15; otherwise, repeat steps S11 to S14.

[0145] S15. Determine whether drying is complete;

[0146] S16. If yes, control the drying program to end; otherwise, control the drying process to proceed and execute steps S5 to S16.

[0147] In this embodiment, if the timing duration t is less than the preset prompt duration t0, and a control command to continue drying is received, it indicates that a control command to continue drying has been received within the preset prompt duration t0. At this time, the garment processing device responds to the control command, does not need to rinse, and continues to dry in order to ensure high drying efficiency.

[0148] Conversely, if the timing duration t is greater than or equal to the preset prompt duration t0 and no control command to continue drying is received, it indicates that no control command to continue drying was received within the preset prompt duration t0; at this time, the garment treatment device is controlled to rinse in order to remove residual garment treatment agent from the garment.

[0149] In another embodiment of the present invention, a preset amount of laundry detergent and corresponding initial rinsing parameters are provided. These initial rinsing parameters include the initial number of rinses, the amount of rinsing water, and the rinsing time. A higher amount of laundry detergent results in more rinses after washing, more rinsing times, more rinsing water, and a longer rinsing time.

[0150] After rinsing, the product is dried. If a rinsing procedure was performed during the drying process, the rinsing parameters corresponding to that procedure are updated to the original rinsing parameters.

[0151] Specifically, updating the original rinsing parameters includes updating the number of rinsing cycles performed during the drying process, the rinsing time for each rinsing cycle, and the rinsing water volume to the original rinsing parameters.

[0152] In this embodiment, by updating the rinsing parameters corresponding to the rinsing procedure executed during the drying process to the original rinsing parameters, the updated rinsing parameters can be used to rinse the clothes when the same amount of garment treatment agent is added next time, thereby reducing the amount of garment treatment agent residue on the clothes. At the same time, this control method can also reduce the number of judgment and control steps in the drying process, which is beneficial to improving drying efficiency.

[0153] The present invention also provides a garment processing device, which is controlled by any of the control methods described above.

[0154] The clothing treatment device of the present invention is controlled by the control method of the present invention, which enables the clothing treatment device to automatically detect and remove residual clothing treatment agent on clothing, thereby improving the treatment effect of the clothing treatment device on clothing and enhancing the user experience.

[0155] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
