[0091] To solve the problem of poor deodorization effect and low efficiency caused by the few dimensions of existing clothes odor treatment and poor targeting, the present application provides a clothes care method with the following overall control idea:

[0092] In combination with Figure 1 The clothes care method comprises:

[0093] Obtaining current odor information of clothes and material type of clothes;

[0094] Determining the remaining duration of odor according to the current odor information of clothes and the material type of clothes;

[0095] Determining the corresponding deodorization care scheme according to the material type of clothes and the remaining duration of odor;

[0096] Running the deodorization care scheme to perform deodorization care of clothes.

[0097] Compared with the prior art, the present application not only simultaneously considers obtaining the current odor information of the clothes and the material type of the clothes, but also particularly proposes determining the remaining odor duration according to the current odor information of the clothes and the material type of the clothes, and determining the corresponding odor removal care scheme according to the material type of the clothes and the remaining odor duration, so that the present application can formulate a targeted odor removal care scheme according to the combination of the current odor status and the duration of the odor. The present application improves the targeting and efficiency of odor treatment of clothes and saves resources.

[0098] Preferably, the odor information includes odor degree information and / or odor duration information, and can further include odor type information. The source of the odor information can come from the clothes processor itself, from the customer, or from both. The specific odor degree information can include odor level or odor concentration information. The specific odor degree can be determined according to the odor degree information provided by the user and / or the duration of the odor, or according to the current odor concentration of the clothes detected by the odor sensor, or according to the current odor concentration of the clothes and the odor information of the clothes provided by the user.

[0099] Preferably, determining the remaining odor duration according to the current odor information of the clothes and the material type of the clothes can determine the remaining odor duration according to the current odor concentration of the clothes and the material type of the clothes, or determine the remaining odor duration according to the current odor degree of the clothes and the material type of the clothes.

[0100] Preferably, the method of determining the above-mentioned remaining odor duration can be realized by inputting a preset model in the system. The preset model can be a multivariate function with a factor of determining the remaining odor duration, or a corresponding table summarized according to experiments and experience.

[0101] Further, to more accurately formulate the odor removal care scheme, the control method can further obtain the weight of the clothes, obtain a weight coefficient of the clothes for the remaining odor duration based on the weight of the clothes, correct the remaining odor duration using the weight coefficient of the clothes, and determine the corresponding odor removal care scheme according to the material type of the clothes and the modified remaining odor duration.

The method of obtaining the odor type can be user input or detection using a sensor.

[0103] The deodorization care solution can include a deodorization care process and a deodorization care parameter. The corresponding deodorization care solution is determined according to the clothing material type and the remaining duration of the odor. The corresponding deodorization care process and / or deodorization care parameter are determined according to the clothing material type and the remaining duration of the odor. The deodorization care process can include selecting which care stages for spraying steam care, drying care, and negative ion generator fresh care, the order in which these care stages are performed, and how long they are performed. Determining the deodorization care parameter includes selecting a deodorization operation parameter combination that matches the remaining duration of the odor from a plurality of deodorization operation parameter combinations for the selected deodorization care process, and then setting each deodorization parameter in the deodorization care process according to the one-to-one correspondence of each deodorization parameter value in the matched deodorization parameter combination.

[0104] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific implementation examples:

[0105] Embodiment 1

[0106] The first aspect of this embodiment provides a clothing care method for a clothing treatment device, which includes S1-S4, wherein:

[0107] S1, determining the current odor level of the clothing and the clothing material type;

[0108] S2, determining the remaining duration of the odor T according to the current odor level of the clothing and the clothing material type;

[0109] S3, determining the corresponding deodorization care solution according to the clothing material type and the remaining duration of the odor;

[0110] S4, running the deodorization care solution to perform deodorization care of the clothing.

[0111] Clothing material types are diverse. Taking three typical materials, wool, silk, cotton, and linen, as examples: wool and silk have carboxyl (—COOH) and amino (—NH2) functional groups in their structure, which can form chemical bonds and hydrogen bonds with odor molecules. The combination with odor molecules includes chemical combination and physical adsorption, and the absorption capacity for odor is the strongest, and the smell is more persistent. Cotton and linen fibers have a large number of hydroxyl (—OH) functional groups in their structure, which can form hydrogen bonds with odor molecules. Therefore, they have strong absorption capacity and persistence for odor. Synthetic chemical fibers have chain-like structures of alkanes or alkenes in their structure, and some synthetic fibers only have amino (—NH2) functional groups at both ends. The combination with odor molecules is mainly physical adsorption, and the absorption capacity for odor is the weakest. Compared with the above two fibers, the odor of synthetic fibers is the least persistent.

[0112] The embodiment can determine the remaining odor duration by judging the clothing material type and the current odor degree of the clothing, and can distinguish the odor absorption capacity and odor persistence of different clothing fabric materials by the clothing material type and the remaining odor duration, so as to reasonably set the deodorization care scheme, ensure the deodorization care effect each time, improve the stability of the deodorization effect, improve the pertinence and efficiency of the clothing odor treatment, and save resources.

[0113] The remaining odor duration refers to how long the odor dyed on the clothing can last in theory. The value is an experience value of a person skilled in the art or a theoretical value verified by experiments.

[0114] Specifically, the clothing material type can be judged in the form of photographing, or the user is guided to input the clothing material type in the form of prompting. The clothing material type includes cotton, chemical fiber, wool, silk, etc.

[0115] Further optionally, the odor degree is represented by the current odor concentration of the clothing and / or the duration of the current odor. The current odor degree of the clothing is determined in S1, including S11-S12, wherein:

[0116] S11, detecting the current odor concentration of the clothing and / or obtaining the duration of the current odor;

[0117] S12, determining the current odor degree according to the current odor concentration of the clothing and / or the duration of the current odor.

[0118] The current odor concentration is the current odor concentration of the clothing detected by the odor sensor after the program is started. The higher the current odor concentration, the higher the current odor degree of the clothing.

[0119] It can be understood that for the same fabric, the longer the duration of the odor dyed on the clothing, the more the odor dissipates, and the less obvious the odor on the clothing is. At this time, it is considered that the current odor degree of the clothing is low. On the contrary, the shorter the duration of the odor dyed on the clothing, the more the odor is, and at this time, it is considered that the current odor degree of the clothing is high. For example, the duration of the odor dyed is less than 1 day, which is considered as level 3; the duration of the odor dyed is between 1 day and 3 days, which is considered as level 2; and the duration of the odor dyed is greater than 3 days, which is considered as level 1. In addition, the current odor degree can also be judged by combining the current odor concentration of the clothing and the duration of the current odor. A person skilled in the art can realize it under the concept of the present application, and thus the description is omitted.

[0120] Further optionally, the odor degree is represented by the current odor level of the clothing. The current odor degree of the clothing is determined in S1, including S13-S14, wherein:

[0121] S13, obtaining the current odor level of the clothing provided by the user;

[0122] S14, determining the current odor degree according to the current odor level of the clothes.

[0123] Specifically, an option of the duration of the clothes being stained with the odor can be provided to the user, and the user is guided to select a matching option, such as less than one day, one day to three days, more than three days, etc.; or an option of the current odor level of the clothes is provided to the user, such as level 1, level 2, level 3, or slight, relatively serious, serious, etc.

[0124] Further optionally, S2 includes S21:

[0125] S21, determining the remaining duration T of the odor according to the current odor degree and the material type of the clothes in a preset correspondence table of the material type of the clothes-odor degree-odor duration.

[0126] The embodiment exemplarily provides the correspondence table of the material type of the clothes-odor degree-odor duration, as shown in Table 1.

[0127] Table 1

[0128]

[0129] The odor duration is the duration during which the clothes can be stained with the odor, and the odor degree is represented by the current odor level of the clothes; preferably, the current odor degree and the odor material type are directly used to find the corresponding remaining duration T of the odor. In another embodiment, the odor degree can also be represented by the current odor concentration and / or the duration of the current odor.

[0130] Further optionally, as one parallel embodiment, S2 includes steps A1-A2, wherein:

[0131] A1, inputting the material type of the clothes and the current odor concentration into a preset model;

[0132] A2, obtaining the remaining duration T of the odor output by the preset model;

[0133] The preset model is a correspondence table of the material type of the clothes-current odor concentration-remaining duration of the odor or a binary function having the material type of the clothes and the current odor concentration as two influence factors.

[0134] The embodiment exemplarily provides the correspondence table of the material type of the clothes-current odor concentration-remaining duration of the odor, as shown in Table 2.

[0135] Table 2

[0136]

[0137] Further optionally, as another parallel embodiment, S2 includes steps B1-B2, wherein:

[0138] B1, inputting the clothing material type and the current odor duration into a preset model;

[0139] B2, obtaining the remaining odor duration output by the preset model;

[0140] The preset model is a correspondence table of clothing material type-current odor duration-remaining odor duration or a binary function with two influence factors of clothing material type and current odor duration.

[0141] The embodiment exemplarily provides a correspondence table of clothing material type-current odor duration-remaining odor duration, as shown in Table 3.

[0142] Table 3

[0143]

[0144] Further optionally, as another parallel embodiment, S2 includes steps C1-C2, wherein:

[0145] C1, inputting the clothing material type, current odor concentration and current odor duration into a preset model;

[0146] C2, obtaining the remaining odor duration output by the preset model;

[0147] The preset model is a correspondence table of clothing material type-current odor concentration-current odor duration-remaining odor duration or a ternary function with three influence factors of clothing material type, current odor concentration and current odor duration.

[0148] The embodiment exemplarily provides a correspondence table of clothing material type-current odor concentration-current odor duration-remaining odor duration, as shown in Table 4. For the same clothing material type, first, according to the odor concentration, it is divided into three current odor concentration ranges, and then, according to the current odor duration, it is further divided into two cases under each current odor concentration range, and the corresponding remaining odor duration is also divided into two cases. For example, if the current odor concentration of cotton and hemp is detected to be 0.4 mg / m 3 and the current odor duration is ≤1 day, the corresponding remaining odor duration is found to be <1 day from Table 4.

[0149] Table 4

[0150]

[0151] Further optionally, as another parallel embodiment, S2 comprises steps D1-D4, wherein:

[0152] D1, obtaining the odor adsorption rate of the material type of the clothes to be treated in a preset clothes material type-odor adsorption rate correspondence table;

[0153] The clothes material type and the odor adsorption rate are in a one-to-one correspondence relationship. The clothes material type-odor adsorption rate correspondence table is exemplarily provided in this embodiment, as shown in Table 5.

[0154] Table 5

[0155] Clothing material type Odor absorption capacity (odor adsorption rate) Cotton and linen 60%~80% Wool and silk 80%~100% Chemical fiber 0~60%

[0156] The odor adsorption rate of wool and silk clothes is more than 80%, the odor adsorption rate of cotton and hemp clothes is usually between 60% and 80%, and the odor adsorption rate of chemical fiber clothes is less than 60%; D2, selecting a corresponding odor removal care program according to the odor adsorption rate;

[0157] D3, selecting an odor removal running parameter combination matching the odor remaining duration from a plurality of odor removal running parameter combinations under the odor removal care program;

[0158] D4, setting each odor removal parameter in the odor removal care program according to the one-to-one correspondence of each odor removal parameter value in the matched odor removal parameter combination.

[0159] In this embodiment, each odor adsorption rate corresponds to an odor removal care program, and each odor removal care program is provided with a plurality of odor removal running parameter combinations. The plurality of odor removal running parameter combinations correspond to a plurality of odor remaining durations. After selecting an odor removal running parameter combination matching the odor adsorption rate and the odor remaining duration, each parameter in the selected odor removal care program is set according to the one-to-one correspondence of each odor removal parameter value in the combination, so as to obtain a runnable odor removal care scheme, thereby solving the problem that the same material clothes with different current odor degrees are treated by the same program and the same parameters in the current clothes dryer, and ensuring the odor removal care effect each time and improving the stability of the odor removal effect.

[0160] Based on the differences in the odor adsorption rates and odor remaining durations of the above three clothes materials, different odor removal care schemes are designed. The odor removal care scheme provided in this embodiment only includes parameter adjustment, as shown in Table 6.

[0161] Table 6

[0162]

[0163] Specifically, the odor absorption capacity and odor persistence of cotton and linen clothes are stronger than those of chemical fiber clothes. Therefore, compared with chemical fiber clothes, the rotation speed, rotation stop ratio and acceleration of the inner drum are appropriately increased under the premise of not damaging the clothes, as many odor molecules as possible are separated from the clothes, the steam spraying amount is increased, the water vapor on the surface of the clothes and diffused into the drum is absorbed by using water vapor, the wind speed and temperature are increased, and the water vapor in the drum and on the clothes is taken away to achieve the effect of removing the odor of the clothes. Wool and silk clothes have the strongest odor absorption capacity and the most persistent odor. However, due to the special material, the parameter values cannot be too high.

[0164] The embodiment is based on the fact that the odor absorption capacity and odor persistence of different clothes are different. The odor removal operation parameter values are reasonably set, including the rotation speed of the clothes treatment drum, the rotation stop ratio, the acceleration, the fan speed, the heating temperature of the heating device, the steam supply amount of the steam generator, etc. Compared with the traditional clothes odor treatment which only changes the rotation speed and rotation stop ratio of the washing machine according to the characteristics of the clothes fabric, the clothes odor treatment is further improved in terms of pertinence and efficiency, and resources are saved.

[0165] Further, S3 includes S31, wherein:

[0184] Embodiment 4

[0185] Further optionally, the deodorization care solution of embodiments 1-3 includes not only the deodorization care parameters of embodiments 1-3, but also the determination of the deodorization care process. The deodorization care process of this embodiment provides a deodorization care example provided with spray steam care, drying care, and negative ion generator fresh care.

[0186] The determination of the deodorization care process in S31 according to the clothes material type and the odor remaining duration includes: determining the deodorization care and the execution order and / or execution duration of the care according to the clothes material type and the odor remaining duration.

[0187] Specifically, the deodorization care process provided by the embodiment includes spraying steam care, drying care, and negative ion generator fresh care on the clothes in the drum, and determining the deodorization care process, such as determining the deodorization care process sequence according to the material type of the clothes to spray steam care, drying care, and negative ion generator fresh care on the clothes in the drum.

[0188] Specifically, the wool silk material, wool material, and cotton hemp material are all subjected to steam spraying care and drying care for clothes odor treatment, preferably, the steam spraying care is performed first, and then the drying care is performed, and the execution time of each care is further determined in combination with different clothes material types and odor remaining duration. For the same clothes material type, the longer the odor remaining duration, the longer the execution time, and vice versa, the shorter the odor remaining duration, the shorter the execution time.

[0189] Optionally, in the operation of the clothes deodorization care scheme, the odor concentration of the clothes in the drum is monitored in real time, and whether to terminate the clothes deodorization care process and / or adjust the deodorization operation parameter combination is determined according to the real-time monitoring of the odor concentration of the clothes in the drum.

[0190] The embodiment determines whether to terminate the clothes deodorization care process by monitoring the odor sensor concentration in real time, ends the deodorization care process when the clothes odor concentration is lower than the set threshold, and continues to perform the deodorization care process when the clothes odor concentration is not lower than the set threshold. In the execution of the deodorization care process, the deodorization operation parameter combination can be adjusted according to the real-time monitoring of the clothes odor concentration level; for example, after the clothes odor concentration level changes, the matching deodorization operation parameter combination can be selected according to the latest monitoring of the odor level. In this way, the clothes deodorization efficiency can be improved while ensuring the clothes deodorization effect, and resources can be saved.

[0191] Optionally, the deodorization care scheme includes spraying steam care on the clothes in the drum;

[0192] In the spraying of steam care on the clothes in the drum, the clothes treatment drum is controlled to rotate at a set speed and a set rotation-stop ratio, a set amount of steam is sprayed to the surface of the clothes, and air is blown into the clothes treatment drum at a set air speed.

[0193] In this care stage, a certain amount of steam is first sprayed to the surface of the clothes to absorb the odor on the clothes. In this process, the temperature does not need to be raised, and the fan blows the clothes with normal temperature air at a certain speed, so that the odor on the clothes continuously diffuses into the drum, and the water vapor absorbs the odor molecules on the surface of the clothes and diffused into the drum. Since the deodorization operation parameters involved in this care stage, such as the steam generation amount, the fan speed, the rotation speed of the clothes treatment drum, and the rotation-stop ratio, are all selected and reasonably set according to the initial odor level of the clothes and the odor absorption capacity and durability of the fabric material, the deodorization effect of the clothes can be ensured.

[0194] Optionally, the deodorization care program further comprises a drying care after the steam care stage.

[0195] In the drying care stage, the drum is controlled to rotate at a set rotational speed and a set acceleration, and the drying airflow is heated at a set temperature.

[0196] When the steam spraying process is completed, the temperature is raised to dry the clothes wetted by the steam, and the water vapor in the drum and on the clothes is removed to achieve the effect of removing odor from the clothes. The deodorization operation parameters involved in this drying care, such as the rotational speed and acceleration of the clothes treatment drum and the required temperature of the drying airflow, are selected and set reasonably according to the initial odor level of the clothes and the odor absorption capacity and durability of the fabric material, so that the deodorization effect of the clothes is ensured while the deodorization efficiency is improved and resources are saved.

[0197] Optionally, the drying care method further comprises the following steps:

[0198] A1, monitoring whether the temperature T1 in the drum reaches a first set temperature;

[0199] A2, when the temperature T1 in the drum reaches the first set temperature, stopping heating the drying airflow, and determining the odor concentration of the clothes;

[0200] A3, comparing the odor concentration of the clothes with a preset threshold value;

[0201] A4, when the odor concentration of the clothes is not lower than the preset threshold value, starting the negative ion generator to perform deodorization care of the clothes;

[0202] A5, when the odor concentration of the clothes is lower than the preset threshold value, ending the deodorization care program of the clothes.

[0203] In the drying care stage, when the temperature is raised to the first set temperature, the odor sensor detects the odor concentration in the drum once, and when the odor concentration value is less than the set odor concentration value, the deodorization care program of the clothes is stopped, and the deodorization care process is ended; when the odor concentration value is greater than or equal to the set odor concentration value, the temperature raising is ended, and the negative ion generator is started to remove the residual odor molecules in the drum with ionized negative ions. In this way, the deodorization effect can be ensured, and the deodorization efficiency can be improved.

[0204] Optionally, when the negative ion generator is started to perform deodorization care of the clothes, the odor concentration of the clothes is monitored again, and when the odor concentration of the clothes is lower than the preset threshold value, the deodorization care program of the clothes is ended.

[0205] The ionized negative ions remove the residual odor molecules in the drum. Then, the odor sensor detects the odor concentration in the drum in real time or every t1 time. If the odor concentration detected by the odor sensor is greater than or equal to the set odor concentration threshold, the ion generator is kept on, and the above process is repeated. If the odor concentration detected by the odor sensor is less than the set odor concentration threshold, the negative ion generator is turned off, the clothes odor removal care program is stopped, and the odor removal care process is ended.

[0206] Further optionally, after ending the odor removal care program, the method further comprises:

[0207] monitoring whether the temperature T2 in the drum is lower than a second set temperature;

[0208] after the temperature T2 in the drum is lower than the second set temperature, opening the door lock of the clothes treatment drum.

[0209] The following refers to Figure 2 The method of the present embodiment is further described in detail.

[0210] As Figure 2As shown, first, the clothes to be treated are put into the treatment device, the odor absorption capacity and odor persistence of the clothes are determined, the determination method is selected according to the odor absorption rate of the clothes material, for example, the odor absorption rate of wool and silk clothes is more than 80%, the odor absorption rate of cotton and hemp clothes is usually between 60% and 80%, and the odor absorption rate of chemical fiber clothes is less than 60%; in the corresponding relationship table between the preset current odor degree of the clothes, the odor absorption rate and the remaining odor duration, the remaining odor duration corresponding to the current odor degree and the odor absorption rate of the clothes is found; then, the deodorization care program corresponding to the odor absorption rate is run, and the corresponding deodorization running parameter combination in Table 3 is selected, including the speed, the rotation and stop ratio, the acceleration, the temperature, the wind speed and the steam amount and is run. First, according to the classification result, a certain amount of steam is sprayed to the surface of the clothes, the odor on the clothes is absorbed by the steam, in this process, the clothes do not need to be heated, and the clothes are blown by the normal temperature wind with a certain wind speed, so that the odor on the clothes is continuously diffused into the barrel, when the spraying process of the steam is completed, the clothes are dried by heating care. When the temperature is raised to the specified temperature, the odor sensor detects the odor concentration in the barrel once, when the odor concentration value is less than the set odor concentration value, the deodorization care program of the clothes is stopped, and the deodorization care process is completed; when the odor concentration value is greater than or equal to the set odor concentration value, the negative ion generator is started, and the residual odor molecules in the barrel are removed by the ionized negative ions, then the odor sensor detects the odor concentration in the barrel every t1 time, if the odor concentration value detected by the odor sensor is greater than or equal to the set odor concentration threshold value, the ion generator is kept on, the above process is repeated, if the odor concentration value detected by the odor sensor is less than the set odor concentration threshold value, the negative ion generator is turned off, the deodorization care program of the clothes is stopped, and the deodorization care process is completed, when the temperature in the barrel is lower than the preset temperature, the door lock is started, and the clothes after care are taken out.
