DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to enable persons skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by persons skilled in the art without creative work should fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0043] In order to solve the technical problem that the related art laundry treating apparatus does not detect the stress condition of the laundry, the present application provides a laundry treating method and apparatus.

[0044] The laundry treating method provided by the embodiments of the present application is used for a laundry treating apparatus, and the method is provided with an extrusion washing mode and a centrifugal washing mode;

[0045] And, at least in part of the washing time length, the extrusion washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode are controlled to operate according to a preset rule.

[0046] In an embodiment, the washing in the washing mode and the washing duration refers to a complete treatment process of the clothes, for example, in an application scenario, the complete treatment process of the clothes includes soaking, cleaning, dehydration and drying; in another application scenario, the complete treatment process of the clothes includes cleaning and dehydration.

[0047] In another embodiment, the washing in the washing mode and the washing duration refers to only the cleaning process of the clothes, i.e., does not include soaking, dehydration, drying and the like, and refers only to the cleaning of the clothes.

[0048] Therefore, for the squeeze washing mode, it can be understood that, in an application scenario, the squeeze washing mode includes a squeeze cleaning process and a squeeze dehydration process; in another application scenario, the squeeze washing mode refers only to the squeeze cleaning process, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0049] Similarly, for the centrifugal washing mode, it can be understood that, in an application scenario, the centrifugal washing mode includes a centrifugal cleaning process and a centrifugal dehydration process; in another application scenario, the centrifugal washing mode refers only to the centrifugal cleaning process, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0050] Similarly, for the washing duration, it can be understood that, in an application scenario, the washing duration refers to the total duration of the complete treatment process of the clothes or the total duration of the cleaning and dehydration of the clothes; in another application scenario, the washing duration refers to the cleaning duration of the clothes, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0051] From the above description, it can be known that, since the washing is not limited, in an embodiment, the squeeze washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode are controlled to operate according to a preset rule within a partial washing duration, wherein the washing duration is the sum of the soaking duration, the cleaning duration, the dehydration duration and the drying duration; the partial washing duration refers to the cleaning duration or the sum of the cleaning duration and the dehydration duration. In another embodiment, the washing duration is the cleaning duration, and therefore the squeeze washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode are controlled to operate according to the preset rule within the entire washing duration.

[0052] It should be noted that the operation according to the preset rule can be that the squeeze washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode are alternately operated, or that at least one cycle of the squeeze washing mode is performed and then at least one cycle of the centrifugal washing mode is performed, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0053] Through the above steps, the squeeze and centrifugal methods are adopted, and the squeeze washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode are regularly operated within a certain washing duration, which helps to improve the washing effect of the clothes.

[0054] Optionally, the control of the squeeze washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode to operate according to the preset rule includes:

[0055] Step S201, control the total time length T of the running of the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode.

[0056] Step S202, control the total time length T1 of the running of the squeezing washing mode at the first beat and the total time length T2 of the running of the centrifugal washing mode at the second beat within the total washing time length T.

[0057] Wherein, the total washing time length T=T1+T2; Wherein, T1 is the total time length of the squeezing washing mode, i The i-th washing cycle of the squeezing washing mode, n is the cycle number of the squeezing washing mode; T2 is the total time length of the centrifugal washing mode, j The j-th washing cycle of the centrifugal washing mode, m is the cycle number of the centrifugal washing mode.

[0058] It should be noted that the first beat refers to the squeezing rhythm in the squeezing washing mode, and the second beat refers to the centrifugal rhythm in the centrifugal washing mode. Wherein, the squeezing rhythm can be embodied by the squeezing frequency and / or the squeezing force, and the centrifugal rhythm can be embodied by the rotation direction switching frequency and / or the rotation speed adjustment frequency in the centrifugal process, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0059] In addition, the first beat and the second beat can be the same or different, which is not limited in this embodiment. For example, in an embodiment, the frequency value of the first beat is the same as the frequency value of the second beat, which is determined as the same first beat and second beat, and in this case, only one beat value can be set, and the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode are shared.

[0060] Through the above steps, the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode both have independent beats, cycle time lengths and cycle numbers, so that the washing process of the clothes can flexibly configure the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode, improve the setting flexibility of the running rules of the two modes, so as to more easily set different running rules for different types of clothes, thereby improving the washing efficiency and washing effect of the clothes.

[0061] Optionally, the control of the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode according to the preset rule comprises:

[0062] According to the material and / or dirtiness of the clothes, set the relationship between T1 and T2 and / or set the value of n of i and / or set the value of m of j.

[0063] In order to facilitate understanding, the following several cases are included:

[0064] The first kind: according to the material of the clothes to set the relationship between T1 and T2.

[0065] The second kind: setting the value of n according to the material of the clothes.

[0066] The third kind: setting the value of m according to the material of the clothes.

[0067] The fourth kind: setting the relationship between T1 and T2 and the value of n according to the material of the clothes.

[0068] The fifth kind: setting the relationship between T1 and T2 and the value of m according to the material of the clothes.

[0069] The sixth kind: setting the value of n and the value of m according to the material of the clothes.

[0070] The seventh kind: setting the relationship between T1 and T2, the value of n and the value of m according to the material of the clothes.

[0071] And the other seven kinds of setting according to the dirtiness of the clothes, not one by one.

[0072] Because the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode have different washing effects and damage effects on the clothes, and different materials and purposes of the clothes have different washing requirements, the embodiment determines the operation rules of the two washing modes from two aspects of the material of the clothes and the dirtiness of the clothes. Specifically, for example, for a bra in underwear, the bra focuses more on cleanliness, and the material of the bra is not easy to be damaged, but excessive external force is easy to cause the bra to deform or be damaged. Therefore, when cleaning the bra, T1 and T2 can be guaranteed to be the normal cleaning time to ensure the cleaning effect of the bra, and the values of n and m are increased to enable the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode to operate at a high switching efficiency, so that the bra is not easy to deform due to long-time squeezing or centrifugal rotation.

[0073] For another example, further details to the bra without a steel ring, because the bra is not easy to deform, the values of n and m can be reduced under the premise of the standard setting value of the bra, to ensure the washing effect and make the bra get sufficient cleaning.

[0074] Further details to the bra with a steel ring, because the steel ring is easy to deform under squeezing, the value of n can be increased, and the value of m remains unchanged.

[0075] Further details to the bra of latex material, which is easier to clean, the values of T1 and T2 can be reduced, and the values of n and m remain unchanged.

[0076] Further details to the bra of sponge material, which is more difficult to clean than latex, T1 can be increased, and T2 remains unchanged, so that the bra gets longer-time squeezing washing.

[0077] In addition, the values of T1, T2, n and / or m can also be adjusted according to the dirtiness of the clothes, which will not be illustrated one by one.

[0078] The above examples are only taken as examples of the bra, and the parameter changes in the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode are described.

[0079] Through the above steps, the operation rules of the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode are set according to the material and / or dirtiness of the clothes, which helps to improve the washing effect of the clothes.

[0080] Optionally, when the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode start to wash according to the preset rules, the centrifugal washing mode starts first and the squeezing washing mode starts later.

[0081] When the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode start to wash according to the preset rules, the squeezing washing mode ends first and the centrifugal washing mode ends later.

[0082] That is, when the clothes are processed, the centrifugal washing mode is started and the centrifugal washing mode is ended. Similarly, in other embodiments, the centrifugal washing mode can be started and the squeezing washing mode can be ended, or the squeezing washing mode can be started and the squeezing washing mode can be ended, or the squeezing washing mode can be started and the centrifugal washing mode can be ended.

[0083] The above processing mode can be set according to the type, function, shape, wearing method and / or dirtiness of the clothes. For example, in an application scenario, when washing a bra, the centrifugal washing mode starts first because the bra has a low water absorption rate. By driving the washing water to rotate, the bra can quickly increase the internal water content, which is beneficial to subsequent washing processing. Because the squeezing washing mode is easy to deform the bra, the centrifugal washing mode ends later. By driving the washing water to rotate, the shape of the bra can be easily restored.

[0084] Through the above steps, by limiting the order of the two washing modes when starting and ending the clothes processing, different operation rules can be developed for different characteristics of the clothes, thereby improving the flexibility of setting the operation rules and improving the washing effect of the clothes.

[0085] Optionally, when the centrifugal washing mode is running, the clothes processing device is controlled to intermittently rotate the clothes processing barrel in the forward and reverse directions.

[0086] In an embodiment, a forward-reverse switching default value is set, and when the forward rotation time of the clothes processing barrel reaches the default value, the reverse rotation is switched.

[0087] In another embodiment, the forward rotation and the reverse rotation each correspond to a set value, and when the forward rotation time of the clothes processing barrel reaches the corresponding set value, the reverse rotation is switched; and when the reverse rotation time of the clothes processing barrel reaches the corresponding set value, the forward rotation is switched.

[0088] For the convenience of understanding, for example, in one application scenario, the default value is 120 seconds; in another application scenario, the forward rotation setting value is 90 seconds, and the reverse rotation setting value is 60 seconds, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0089] Through the above steps, the forward and reverse rotation of the clothes processing barrel in the intermittent switching mode helps to loosen the clothes at the beginning of the clothes washing, improves the washing effect of the clothes, prevents the clothes from winding at the end of the clothes washing, improves the rinsing effect of the clothes, and makes the clothes easier to wash clean, thereby shortening the time required for washing the clothes and improving the washing efficiency of the clothes.

[0090] Optionally, the control of the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode to operate according to the preset rule includes control of the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode to operate alternately.

[0091] The total time length of the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode T k = T i + T j .

[0092] Wherein, p is the number of cycles of the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode operating alternately according to the preset rule; T i is the i-th washing cycle of the squeezing washing mode; T j is the j-th washing cycle of the centrifugal washing mode.

[0093] Specifically, p = m = n. For the convenience of understanding, for example, in one application scenario, the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode need to operate alternately for 3 cycles, that is, p = 3, and the operation rule of the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode is:

[0094] Squeezing washing mode → centrifugal washing mode → squeezing washing mode → centrifugal washing mode → squeezing washing mode → centrifugal washing mode.

[0095] Wherein, the squeezing washing mode → centrifugal washing mode is one alternating cycle, and one alternating cycle includes one operation cycle of the squeezing washing mode and one operation cycle of the centrifugal washing mode.

[0096] In addition, it should be noted that, in one application scenario, the operation rule of the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode can also be:

[0097] (Centrifugal washing mode → squeezing washing mode) → (centrifugal washing mode → squeezing washing mode) → (squeezing washing mode → centrifugal washing mode).

[0098] Wherein, p=3, one alternating cycle can be (centrifugal washing mode→squeezing washing mode), or (squeezing washing mode→centrifugal washing mode), aiming to ensure that the clothes processing starts with the centrifugal washing mode and ends with the centrifugal washing mode.

[0099] Wherein, whether the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode need to be alternately controlled can be determined according to the type, function and other characteristics of the clothes. For example, when the clothes are difficult to wash, i.e. the clothes are not easy to clean, the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode can be alternately controlled. For another example, the clothes are suitable for the squeezing and centrifugal washing mode, and the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode can be alternately controlled, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0100] Through the above steps, the clothes are washed by the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode alternately, which is helpful to fully clean the clothes. The two modes are alternately operated, so that the clothes are not easy to be deformed or damaged due to continuous squeezing or centrifugal rotation, and the washing effect is improved under the condition of protecting the integrity of the clothes.

[0101] Optionally, the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode are controlled to run according to a preset rule, including two washing stages.

[0102] The first stage runs the squeezing washing mode for a time T1; the second stage runs the centrifugal washing mode for a time T2.

[0103] In an embodiment, the first stage is executed after the second stage is executed. In another embodiment, the first stage is executed after the second stage is executed. The embodiment does not limit the execution order of the first stage and the second stage.

[0104] In addition, T1 is the total washing time of the squeezing washing mode, and T2 is the total washing time of the centrifugal washing mode.

[0105] Through the above steps, the clothes are washed by the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode alternately, which is helpful to fully clean the clothes. The two modes are alternately operated, so that the clothes are not easy to be deformed or damaged due to continuous squeezing or centrifugal rotation, and the washing effect is improved under the condition of protecting the integrity of the clothes.

[0106] Optionally, when the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode are controlled to run according to a preset rule, the pressure received by the clothes being processed in the washing process is monitored in real time.

[0107] In one embodiment, the pressure sensor is installed in the laundry treatment device to monitor the pressure on the laundry in real time. In another embodiment, the pressure on the laundry is calculated based on the deformation of the laundry, such as the elongation distance, the contraction distance, or the thickness reduction distance.

[0108] For the convenience of understanding, the following description is given in the form of using a pressure sensor.

[0109] The pressure is determined to decide whether the fixing state of the laundry needs to be adjusted and / or the first beat needs to be adjusted and / or the second beat needs to be adjusted and / or the number n of the squeezing washing mode needs to be adjusted and / or the number m of the centrifugal washing mode needs to be adjusted and / or the timing of stopping the washing program and / or the timing of switching between the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode needs to be adjusted and / or the centrifugal force on the laundry in the centrifugal washing mode needs to be adjusted and / or the squeezing force on the laundry needs to be adjusted.

[0110] That is, according to the pressure, whether at least one of the fixing state of the laundry, the first beat, the second beat, n, m, the timing of stopping the washing program and switching between the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode, the centrifugal force, and the squeezing force needs to be adjusted.

[0111] Specifically, for example, in one embodiment, the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode are used in the dehydration stage of the laundry. The squeezing washing mode is to reduce the moisture of the laundry by squeezing, and the centrifugal washing mode is to reduce the moisture of the laundry by rotating.

[0112] For the fixing state of the laundry, when the pressure is too large, the tightness of the fixing of the laundry is reduced to prevent the laundry from being damaged, and when the pressure is too small, the tightness of the fixing of the laundry is increased to ensure that the laundry is separated from the preset position or the preset moving space during the dehydration process.

[0113] For the first beat, when the pressure is too large, the squeezing stroke in the first beat is reduced. The squeezing stroke is the distance from the starting position to the ending position of the squeezing structure in the squeezing washing mode. By reducing the squeezing stroke in the first beat, the ending position is close to the starting position, so that the pressure on the laundry is reduced, and vice versa.

[0114] For the second beat, when the pressure on the laundry is too large, the rotation speed in the second beat is reduced to reduce the centrifugal force on the laundry and reduce the pressure, and when the pressure on the laundry is too small, the rotation speed in the second beat is increased.

[0115] For n, when the pressure on the clothes is too large, the value of n is reduced to reduce the running period of the squeezing washing mode, thereby reducing the total time of the clothes being squeezed, so that the clothes are not easily damaged; when the pressure on the clothes is too small, the value of n is increased to increase the running period of the squeezing washing mode, thereby prolonging the total time of the clothes being squeezed, and ensuring the treatment effect of the clothes.

[0116] For m, when the pressure on the clothes is too large, the value of m is reduced to reduce the running period of the centrifugal washing mode, thereby reducing the total time of the clothes being subjected to centrifugal force, so that the clothes are not easily damaged; when the pressure on the clothes is too small, the value of m is increased to increase the running period of the centrifugal washing mode, thereby prolonging the total time of the clothes being subjected to centrifugal force, and ensuring the treatment effect of the clothes.

[0117] For stopping the washing program, when the pressure on the clothes is greater than the pressure that can be borne, or when the pressure on the clothes exceeds the safety pressure threshold, the washing program is stopped, so that the clothes are not damaged.

[0118] For the timing of switching between the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode, when the clothes are in the squeezing washing mode, if the pressure is too large, the centrifugal washing mode can be switched to in advance to save the dehydration time. If the pressure is too small, the timing of switching to the centrifugal washing mode can be delayed to ensure the effect of squeezing dehydration and reduce the dehydration pressure of centrifugal dehydration.

[0119] Similarly, when the clothes are in the centrifugal washing mode, if the pressure is too large, it may be because the clothes contain more water, at this time the squeezing washing mode can be switched to in advance to quickly reduce the water in the clothes through squeezing to improve the dehydration efficiency; if the pressure is too small, it proves that the water in the clothes is less, at this time the squeezing washing mode can be delayed to further remove the water in the clothes and improve the dehydration effect.

[0120] For the centrifugal force, if the pressure on the clothes is too large, the rotation speed of the clothes during centrifugation is reduced to reduce the centrifugal force, thereby reducing the pressure on the clothes; if the pressure on the clothes is small, the rotation speed of the clothes during centrifugation is increased.

[0121] For the squeezing washing force, if the pressure on the clothes is too large, the squeezing stroke is shortened; on the contrary, if the pressure on the clothes is too small, the squeezing stroke is prolonged.

[0122] The above are all examples for the purpose of understanding. In actual application, the parameters can be adjusted according to the pressure not only in the dehydration stage, but also in the cleaning or soaking stage, which is not limited in the embodiment. In addition, multiple parameters can be adjusted at the same time, for example, in the dehydration stage, in order to improve the dehydration efficiency and dehydration effect, if the pressure on the treated clothes is small, the first beat, the second beat and the timing of switching operation can be adjusted at the same time.

[0123] In addition, the pressure on the treated clothes can be determined by setting a threshold in advance, which is not limited in the embodiment. For example, for clothes that are easy to deform or clothes that are easy to damage, the threshold can be set smaller to ensure the integrity of the treated clothes.

[0124] Through the above steps, the pressure on the treated clothes in the washing process is used to determine whether the parameters need to be adjusted, which helps to improve the applicability of the clothes treatment device and enables the clothes treatment device to process more types of clothes. At the same time, it can also improve the protection effect, cleaning effect and processing efficiency of the clothes.

[0125] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a clothes treatment device, which comprises: a drum 10; a fixing mechanism 30 rotatably arranged in the drum 10 for fixing clothes; a squeezing mechanism 40 located below the fixing mechanism 30 for applying a squeezing action to the clothes; a rotating mechanism 20 connected with the fixing mechanism 30 for rotating the fixing mechanism 30 to apply a rotating action to the clothes; a driving mechanism 50 for providing power to the squeezing mechanism 40 and the rotating mechanism 20; and a control device for controlling the driving mechanism to make the squeezing mechanism and the rotating mechanism operate according to the preset rules in the above method.

[0126] Through the above content, the squeezing and centrifugal methods are adopted, and the squeezing washing mode and the centrifugal washing mode are regularly operated within a certain washing time, which helps to improve the washing effect of the clothes.

[0127] Optionally, the control device comprises a pressure sensor for detecting the force condition of the clothes in the clothes treatment process. The control device also controls the driving mechanism 50 according to the force condition of the clothes in the clothes treatment process detected by the pressure sensor.

[0128] Since the driving mechanism 50 is used to provide power to the squeezing mechanism 40 and the rotating mechanism 20, the squeezing action of the clothes by the squeezing mechanism 40 and the rotating action of the clothes by the rotating mechanism 20 can be controlled by controlling the driving mechanism 50. Thus, the force condition of the clothes in the clothes treatment process can be used to protect the clothes and / or improve the treatment effect of the clothes.

[0129] Specifically, for example, if the clothes are subjected to force exceeding the range that the clothes can withstand during the clothes processing, the squeezing mechanism 40 can be controlled to reduce the squeezing force applied to the clothes, and the rotating mechanism 20 can be controlled to reduce the rotating speed, so as to reduce the centrifugal force of the clothes, thereby protecting the clothes and preventing the clothes from being damaged.

[0130] For another example, if the clothes are subjected to too small pressure during the clothes processing, the squeezing mechanism 40 can be controlled to increase the squeezing force applied to the clothes, so as to improve the processing effect on the clothes, and the rotating mechanism 20 can be controlled to increase the rotating speed, so as to improve the processing effect on the clothes.

[0131] For the convenience of understanding, in an embodiment, the driving mechanism 50 is controlled according to the force condition during the clothes processing, and the driving mechanism 50 includes:

[0132] According to the force condition during the clothes processing, the driving mechanism 50 can be selectively drivingly connected with the squeezing mechanism 40 and the rotating mechanism 20, and / or the driving mode of the driving mechanism 50 driving the squeezing mechanism 40 and the rotating mechanism 20 can be controlled.

[0133] That is, according to the force condition during the clothes processing, the connection object of the driving mechanism 50 can be changed, the driving mode of the driving mechanism 50 can be changed, or both the connection object and the driving mode can be changed.

[0134] For the convenience of understanding, for the connection object, the driving mechanism 50 can be drivingly connected with the squeezing mechanism 40, or the driving mechanism 50 can be drivingly connected with the rotating mechanism 20.

[0135] In an application scenario, if the clothes are subjected to too large pressure during the clothes processing, the connection object of the driving mechanism 50 can be changed, and the pressure of the clothes can be reduced by switching the squeezing mechanism 40 or the rotating mechanism 20. Specifically, for example, during the underwear dehydration process, the underwear is subjected to too large pressure, which not only easily damages the underwear, but also easily deforms the underwear. If the driving mechanism 50 is drivingly connected with the squeezing mechanism 40 at this time, the connection object of the driving mechanism 50 is changed, and the driving mechanism 50 is drivingly connected with the rotating mechanism 20. Since the rotating mechanism 20 starts from 0 and accelerates, not only the pressure of the underwear applied by the squeezing mechanism 40 disappears, but also the pressure of the underwear applied by the rotating mechanism 20 starts from 0 and increases, so that the underwear is not easily damaged and deformed. Similarly, if the driving mechanism 50 is drivingly connected with the rotating mechanism 20 at this time, the driving mechanism 50 is connected with the squeezing mechanism 40, and the rotating mechanism 20 is no longer driven. The principle is the same, and will not be described again.

[0136] In another application scenario, if the pressure on the clothes during the clothes processing is too small, the connection object of the driving mechanism 50 can be changed, the squeezing mechanism 40 or the rotating mechanism 20 is switched to increase the pressure on the clothes. Specifically, for example, during the dehydration process of the underwear, the pressure on the underwear is too small, and the driving mechanism 50 is drivingly connected with the squeezing mechanism 40, and the rotating mechanism 20 can give the underwear greater pressure, so the driving mechanism 50 is drivingly connected with the rotating mechanism 20.

[0137] For the driving mode, in an embodiment, the driving mode includes driving duration, driving force and driving beat.

[0138] In order to increase or reduce the force on the clothes during the clothes processing, the driving duration, driving force and / or driving beat of the driving mechanism 50 are changed to meet the processing requirements of the clothes.

[0139] In an application scenario, if the pressure on the clothes is too large, the driving duration can be shortened to shorten the time of the clothes in the overload state and protect the clothes; the driving force can be reduced to reduce the pressure on the clothes; or the driving beat, i.e., the driving frequency, can be increased to shorten the time of the clothes in the overload state and protect the clothes.

[0140] Specifically, for example, during the dehydration process of the underwear, the driving mechanism 50 is drivingly connected with the squeezing mechanism 40, and at this time it is detected that the pressure on the underwear exceeds the pressure value that the underwear can withstand. The control device simultaneously reduces the driving duration and the driving force to protect the underwear. The driving duration is the total duration of the squeezing action of the squeezing mechanism 40 on the clothes, and the driving force is the squeezing force generated by the squeezing mechanism 40 on the clothes.

[0141] For another example, during the dehydration process of the underwear, the driving mechanism 50 is drivingly connected with the rotating mechanism 20, and at this time it is detected that the pressure on the underwear is less than the preset dehydration pressure. The control device increases the driving force to increase the pressure on the underwear. Increasing the driving force increases the rotational speed of the rotating mechanism 20 driving the underwear, so that the centrifugal force on the underwear increases, thereby increasing the pressure on the underwear.

[0142] In order to increase or reduce the force on the clothes during the clothes processing, the driving object and the driving mode can also be changed at the same time, but it should be noted that the driving mode changed needs to correspond to the changed driving object. For example, in an application scenario, the driving object of the driving mechanism 50 is switched from the squeezing mechanism 40 to the rotating mechanism 20, and the control device correspondingly changes the driving mode of the driving mechanism 50 for the rotating mechanism 20.

[0143] Specifically, the adjustment process of the driving object and the driving mode has been described in the foregoing and will not be repeated here.

[0144] Through the above, by changing the driving object and driving mode of the driving mechanism 50, the stress condition in the clothes processing process can be changed in time, thereby protecting the clothes and improving the processing efficiency of the clothes.
