Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] To address the technical problem that clothing processing devices in related technologies do not detect the stress on clothing, this invention provides a clothing processing device and its control method.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this application provides a garment processing device, which includes: a cylinder 10; a support mechanism 30 disposed inside the cylinder 10 for supporting and fixing garments; a squeezing mechanism 40 located below the support mechanism 30 for squeezing the garments; a rotating mechanism 20 linked to the support mechanism 30 for driving the support mechanism 30 to rotate and thus rotate the garments; a driving mechanism 50 for providing power to the squeezing mechanism 40 and the rotating mechanism 20; a pressure sensor for detecting the force on the garments during the garment processing process; a garment processing program of the garment processing device; and / or, the support mechanism 30 and / or the rotating mechanism 20 and / or the driving mechanism 50 can be controlled and / or adjusted according to the force detected by the pressure sensor during the garment processing process. In this way, the garment processing device provided by this application can detect the force on the garment through a pressure sensor. At the same time, it can control and / or adjust the support mechanism 30 and / or rotation mechanism 20 and / or drive mechanism 50 of the garment processing device according to the force detected by the pressure sensor. When the force on the garment is too large or too small, the garment processing device can be adjusted to solve the problem of the garment being damaged due to excessive force or the garment having poor cleaning or dehydration effect due to insufficient force, thereby improving the control accuracy of the garment processing device.

[0035] It should also be noted that the "fixation" of clothing referred to in this application does not mean that it is completely immobile. As those skilled in the art will understand, some movement is permissible during the compression process of the compression mechanism, otherwise it would cause damage to the clothing.

[0036] Optionally, the garment processing device has an underwear processing function. Underwear washing is increasingly becoming a concern. The garment processing device provided in this application can be specifically used for washing underwear, achieving dedicated washing for specific garments. By combining squeezing and rotating washing, it avoids the problem of underwear not being properly cleaned in machine washing. Simultaneously, by combining squeezing and rotating dehydration, it improves the dehydration effect of underwear.

[0037] Optionally, the garment processing procedure includes a dehydration procedure, which comprises two stages: a compression dehydration stage, in which the compression mechanism 40 applies compression to the garment; and a centrifugal dehydration stage, in which the rotation mechanism 20 rotates the garment. The garment processing procedure can be controlled and / or adjusted based on the force conditions detected by a pressure sensor during the processing. Specifically, when executing the dehydration procedure, the garment processing device can determine the timing of transitioning from the compression dehydration stage to the centrifugal dehydration stage based on the force conditions experienced by the garment during the compression dehydration stage. This allows for more precise control of the switching between compression dehydration and centrifugal dehydration based on the force conditions, while ensuring both dehydration efficiency and effectiveness.

[0038] Optionally, the support mechanism 30 and / or the rotating mechanism 20 and / or the drive mechanism 50 can be controlled and / or adjusted according to the force conditions during the garment processing. This includes: controlling and / or adjusting the tightness of the support mechanism 30 in fixing the garment according to the force conditions during the garment processing; controlling and / or adjusting the squeezing force of the squeezing mechanism 40 on the garment according to the force conditions during the garment processing; and controlling and / or adjusting the drive mechanism 50 according to the force conditions during the garment processing. This includes controlling and / or adjusting the drive mechanism 50's driving connection with the squeezing mechanism 40 or its driving connection with the rotating mechanism 20 according to the force conditions during the garment processing. In this way, the movement of the squeezing mechanism 40 or the rotating mechanism 20 can be controlled according to the force conditions of the garment, improving the practicality of the garment processing device.

[0039] Optionally, the support mechanism 30 has a clamping space 1 for securing the underwear; the squeezing end of the squeezing mechanism 40 can move towards the support mechanism 30 to squeeze the underwear within the clamping space; a pressure sensor is disposed between the squeezing mechanism 40 and the support mechanism 30 to detect the force applied to the underwear within the support mechanism 30. In this way, the squeezing force applied to the underwear by the squeezing mechanism 40 can be detected by the pressure sensor, thereby determining the force value of the underwear. The clamping space 1 is more conducive to preventing underwear deformation.

[0040] Optionally, the extrusion mechanism 40 includes an extrusion end with an arc-shaped extrusion surface; the support mechanism 30 includes a cover 321, a mounting frame 311, and a flexible structure 312. The cover 321 covers the mounting frame 311, which has a clearance space 3. The flexible structure is fixed to the mounting frame 311 and covers the clearance space 3. A clamping space 1 is formed between the cover 321 and the flexible structure 312. The flexible structure 312 and / or the cover 321 have at least one first through hole 300 communicating with the clamping space 1. When the extrusion mechanism 40 is working, its extrusion end passes through the clearance space 3 and abuts against the lower surface of the flexible structure, indirectly applying extrusion to the clothing through the flexible structure. A pressure sensor is disposed between the flexible structure and the extrusion end. In this way, the flexible structure 312 can prevent the extrusion end of the extrusion mechanism 40 from directly extruding the clothing, thus avoiding wear and tear on the clothing.

[0041] Optionally, the extrusion motion can be linear, helical, or multidimensional.

[0042] Optionally, the underwear is a bra; the squeezing mechanism 40 includes two squeezing ends, both of which are arc-shaped; the mounting frame 311 has two clearance spaces 3, and the two squeezing ends of the squeezing mechanism 40 are respectively located in the two clearance spaces 3; the flexible structure 312 is connected to the mounting frame 311 and covers the clearance spaces 3 and the squeezing ends, the flexible structure 312 has two first protrusions 310, the two first protrusions 310 are arranged one-to-one with the two clearance spaces 3, and both first protrusions 310 are arc-shaped; a pressure sensor is respectively provided between the two squeezing ends and the two first protrusions 310; the cover 321 has two second protrusions 320; each second protrusion 320 and its corresponding first protrusion 310 on the same side constitute a clamping space 1 for limiting the bra cup portion. In this way, the garment processing device provided by this application can wash bras, and the squeezing mechanism 40 can effectively squeeze and wash and dehydrate the inner surface of the bra, ensuring the washing effect of the bra and preventing the bra from deforming.

[0043] It should be noted that the bra mentioned in this application only needs to include the cup structure, and one-piece bras with a vest structure are also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] Optionally, the garment handling device further includes: a rotating mechanism 20 comprising a cylindrical member; a support mechanism 30 disposed within the rotating mechanism 20, the cylindrical member having at least one second through hole 211. Thus, water can enter or exit through the second through hole 211, thereby enabling the washing or dehydration of garments disposed within the support mechanism 30 within the rotating mechanism 20.

[0045] Optionally, the drive mechanism 50 includes: a rotary motor, a clutch mechanism 52, and a cam assembly 51, with the rotary motor drivingly connected to the cam assembly 51 or the rotating mechanism 20 via the clutch mechanism 52; or the drive mechanism 50 includes: a linear motor and a rotary motor, with the linear motor drivingly connected to the extrusion mechanism 40 and the rotary motor drivingly connected to the rotating mechanism 20; or the drive mechanism 50 includes: a first rotary motor, a cam assembly 51, and a second rotary motor, with the first rotary motor drivingly connected to the extrusion mechanism 40 via the cam assembly 51 and the second rotary motor drivingly connected to the rotating mechanism 20; wherein, the cam assembly 51 includes a rotating member 511 and a connecting member 512, the connecting member 512 being connected to the extrusion mechanism 40, and the mating surfaces of the rotating member 511 and the connecting member 512 having a concave-convex structure, the connecting member 512 driving the extrusion mechanism 40 to move under the pushing action of the rotating member 511. Thus, by providing different types and numbers of power sources, power is supplied to the extrusion mechanism 40 and the rotating mechanism 20.

[0046] This application also provides a control method for a garment processing device, used in the aforementioned garment processing device. The control method includes: controlling the garment processing program of the garment processing device according to the force conditions during the garment processing process, and / or controlling and / or adjusting the support mechanism 30 and / or the rotating mechanism 20 and / or the drive mechanism 50. In this way, when the force on the garment is too large or too small, the garment processing device can be adjusted to solve the problems of garments being damaged due to excessive force, or underwear having poor cleaning or dehydration effects due to insufficient force. This improves the control precision of the garment processing device and allows for control based on the force conditions on the garment, thereby improving washing effect, washing efficiency, dehydration effect, and dehydration efficiency.

[0047] Optionally, controlling and / or adjusting the support mechanism 30 and / or the rotating mechanism 20 and / or the drive mechanism 50 according to the force conditions during the garment processing includes: controlling and / or adjusting the support mechanism 30 according to the force conditions during the garment processing, including: controlling and / or adjusting the tightness of the support mechanism 30 in fixing the garment according to the force conditions during the garment processing; controlling and / or adjusting the squeezing mechanism 40 according to the force conditions during the garment processing, including: controlling and / or adjusting the squeezing force of the squeezing mechanism 40 in squeezing the garment according to the force conditions during the garment processing; and controlling and / or adjusting the drive mechanism 50 according to the force conditions during the garment processing, including: controlling and / or adjusting the drive mechanism 50 to be driven connected to the squeezing mechanism 40 or to the rotating mechanism 20 according to the force conditions during the garment processing.

[0048] Optionally, controlling and / or adjusting the squeezing force of the squeezing mechanism 40 on the clothing according to the stress conditions of the clothing during the clothing processing includes: controlling and / or adjusting the squeezing stroke of the squeezing mechanism 40 to adjust the stress value of the clothing according to the stress conditions of the clothing during the clothing processing.

[0049] The extrusion stroke refers to the stroke of the extrusion mechanism 40 relative to the support mechanism 30.

[0050] Optionally, controlling and / or adjusting the tightness of the support mechanism 30 in fixing the clothing according to the stress conditions during the clothing processing includes: if the stress value of the clothing during the clothing processing is less than or equal to a minimum threshold, adjusting the tightness of the support mechanism 30 in fixing the clothing to avoid excessive stress on the clothing and damage.

[0051] Optionally, the garment processing procedure includes a dehydration procedure, which comprises two stages: a squeezing dehydration stage, in which the squeezing mechanism 40 applies a squeezing action to the garment; and a centrifugal dehydration stage, in which the rotating mechanism 20 applies a rotating action to the garment. Based on the stress conditions during the garment processing, the garment processing procedure of the garment processing device is controlled to include: first executing the squeezing dehydration stage, then executing the centrifugal dehydration stage; continuously monitoring the stress conditions on the garment during the squeezing dehydration stage, and when the stress on the garment reaches a preset maximum threshold, controlling the garment processing device to execute the centrifugal dehydration stage of the dehydration procedure.

[0052] Optionally, the control method further includes the following steps: establishing a correspondence between the stroke position of the squeezing mechanism 40 and the force value of the underwear in advance, and controlling the squeezing mechanism 40 to move to the set position so that the force value of the underwear reaches the preset maximum threshold.

[0053] Optionally, when the dehydration process enters the extrusion dehydration stage, the control drive mechanism 50 is driven to connect with the extrusion mechanism 40 to provide power to the extrusion mechanism 40; when the dehydration process enters the centrifugal dehydration stage from the extrusion dehydration stage, the control drive mechanism 50 switches to drive connection with the rotation mechanism 20 to provide power to the rotation mechanism 20.

[0054] Optionally, the centrifugal dehydration stage of the dehydration process controlled by the garment processing device includes: performing the centrifugal dehydration stage after continuously applying a pressure threshold to the garment for a preset time.

[0055] Optionally, the dehydration process also includes a loosening stage; after the centrifugal dehydration stage, the garment handling device is controlled to enter the loosening stage; during the loosening stage, the garment handling device is controlled to adjust so that the stress value on the underwear is reduced to a second set value.

[0056] This invention provides a control method for a garment processing device, the control method including the following steps: detecting the force value of underwear in the garment processing device. By adding the step of detecting the force on the underwear in the garment processing device, the garment processing device can be adjusted when the force value of the underwear is too high or too low, thereby solving the problems of underwear being damaged due to excessive force, or underwear having poor cleaning or dehydration effects due to insufficient force.

[0057] Optionally, the control method further includes the following steps: determining whether the detected force value meets the set conditions; when the force value does not meet the set conditions, adjusting the garment processing device to increase or decrease the force value on the underwear. This allows for adjustment of the force value on the underwear, preventing damage due to excessive force or poor cleaning or dehydration due to insufficient force.

[0058] Optionally, the setting condition can be a threshold range or a set value.

[0059] In one optional embodiment of this application, the condition is set to a force value less than or equal to A1; when a force value greater than A1 is detected, the clothing processing device is adjusted to reduce the force value on the underwear.

[0060] In another optional embodiment of this application, the condition is set as follows: the force value is greater than or equal to A2; when the force value is less than A2, the clothing processing device is adjusted to increase the force value of the underwear.

[0061] In another optional embodiment of this application, the condition is set as the force value equal to A1; when the detected force value is greater than A1, the clothing processing device is adjusted to reduce the force value of the underwear; when the force value is less than A1, the clothing processing device is adjusted to increase the force value of the underwear.

[0062] Optionally, the dehydration process can be controlled based on the stress level of the underwear.

[0063] In an optional embodiment of this application, the control method further includes the following dehydration control step: adjusting the garment processing device to ensure that the force applied to the underwear reaches a first set value and is maintained for a preset time to achieve squeezing dehydration; then controlling the garment processing device to rotate the underwear to achieve centrifugal dehydration. In this way, squeezing dehydration is performed on the underwear first, followed by centrifugal dehydration, resulting in a better dehydration effect.

[0064] In an optional embodiment of this application, the control method further includes the following dehydration control steps: controlling the garment processing device to rotate the underwear to achieve centrifugal dehydration; simultaneously controlling the garment processing device to adjust so that the force value gradually increases to achieve squeezing dehydration. In this way, squeezing dehydration is performed simultaneously with centrifugal dehydration, saving dehydration time, and the gradually increasing force value results in better squeezing dehydration.

[0065] In an optional embodiment of this application, the control method further includes the following dehydration control steps: controlling the garment processing device to rotate the underwear to achieve centrifugal dehydration; simultaneously controlling the garment processing device to adjust so that the force value of the underwear alternately increases and decreases to achieve squeezing dehydration. In this way, squeezing dehydration is performed simultaneously with centrifugal dehydration, saving dehydration time, and the alternating force value ensures more thorough squeezing dehydration.

[0066] Optionally, after performing the dehydration control step, the garment handling device is controlled to perform the following loosening control step: the garment handling device is adjusted to reduce the force on the underwear to a second set value. This makes the underwear fluffy and easier for the user to remove.

[0067] Optionally, the first set value is the value when the underwear is subjected to the maximum force in the garment processing device; and / or the second set value is the value when the underwear is subjected to the minimum force in the garment processing device. This way, centrifugal dehydration is performed when the force is at its maximum, resulting in better dehydration. During the loosening control step, the force on the underwear is reduced to a minimum, making it easier for the user to remove the underwear.

[0068] The present invention also provides a garment processing device capable of executing the aforementioned control program. In this way, the garment processing device can determine whether adjustments are needed based on the stress conditions of the underwear, and can also control the timing of dehydration, washing, loosening, and other control steps based on the stress conditions, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency of the underwear and preventing deformation and damage.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention also provides a garment processing device, comprising: a support mechanism 30 having a clamping space 1 for fixing underwear; a squeezing mechanism 40, the squeezing end of the squeezing mechanism 40 being movable toward or away from the support mechanism 30 for squeezing the underwear within the support mechanism 30; and a force detection unit disposed between the squeezing mechanism 40 and the support mechanism 30 for detecting the force value of the underwear within the support mechanism 30.

[0070] In this way, the support mechanism 30 can be used to fix the underwear, preventing it from deforming during washing. The squeezing mechanism 40 squeezes the underwear, which can improve the washing effect. The force detection unit can detect the force value of the underwear. When the force value of the underwear is too large or too small, the garment processing device can be adjusted, thereby solving the problems of underwear being damaged due to excessive force or poor cleaning or dehydration effect due to insufficient force.

[0071] Optionally, the force detection unit is a pressure sensor. In this way, the extrusion mechanism 40 extrudes the pressure sensor, and the pressure detected by the pressure sensor is converted into the force value of the underwear, thus solving the problem that the force value of the underwear is not easy to detect.

[0072] like Figure 3As shown, the extrusion mechanism 40 has two third protrusion structures 41, which form two extrusion ends, both of which are arc-shaped. The support mechanism 30 includes: a mounting frame 311, which has two clearance spaces 3, and the two extrusion ends of the extrusion mechanism 40 are respectively located in the two clearance spaces 3; and a flexible structure 312, which is connected to the mounting frame 311 and covers the clearance spaces 3 and the extrusion ends.

In this way, the underwear is placed on the flexible structure 312 and the cover 321 is placed on top. The first protrusion structure 310 and the second protrusion structure 320 fix the bra cups of the underwear. The squeezing end squeezes the underwear through the flexible structure 312, which can clean the inside of the underwear. The pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is equivalent to the force value of the underwear. The setting of the flexible structure 312 can prevent the underwear from being damaged. The flexible structure 312 and the cover 321 cooperate with each other. The arc surface of the cover 321 is larger than the arc surface of the flexible structure 312, which can be used for bra cups of various sizes. Water in the underwear can be discharged through the first through hole 300.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the support mechanism 30 includes: a support frame 31 with two first protrusions 310; and a support cover 32 with two second protrusions 320. The support cover 32 covers the support frame 31, and the two second protrusions 320 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two first protrusions 310. A clamping space 1 for fixing the underwear is formed between the support frame 31 and the support cover 32. The support frame 31 includes a mounting frame 311 and a flexible structure 312, and the support cover 32 includes a cover body 321. In this way, the underwear is clamped between the support frame 31 and the support cover 32, and the first protrusions 310 and the second protrusions 320 are used to fix the bra cups, thus fixing the underwear and preventing deformation. Figure 2 As shown, a clamping space 1 for fixing the bra cup is formed between the first protrusion structure 310 and the second protrusion structure 320; a receiving space 2 for accommodating the bra shoulder straps and back straps is formed between the support mechanism 30 and the rotating mechanism 20.

[0074] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the garment processing device further includes: a drum body 10; a rotating mechanism 20, which is rotatably disposed within the drum body 10, and a support mechanism 30 is disposed within the rotating mechanism 20, the rotating mechanism 20 having at least one second through hole 211; and a driving mechanism 50, which is drivenly connected to the squeezing mechanism 40 and the rotating mechanism 20. Thus, the driving mechanism 50 can drive the squeezing mechanism 40 to move, performing squeezing washing or squeezing dehydration on the underwear, and the driving mechanism 50 can drive the rotating mechanism 20 to move, performing centrifugal washing or centrifugal dehydration on the underwear, with water being discharged through the second through hole 211 on the rotating mechanism 20.

[0075] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 50 includes a rotary motor, a clutch mechanism 52, and a cam assembly 51. The rotary motor is driven by the cam assembly 51 or the rotating mechanism 20 through the clutch mechanism 52. The clutch mechanism 52 has a first working state that cooperates with the cam assembly 51 and a second working state that cooperates with the rotating mechanism 20. In this way, the cam assembly 51 converts rotation into movement. Only one rotary motor is needed, and by switching the state of the clutch mechanism 52, the extrusion mechanism 40 can be driven to move or the rotating mechanism 20 can be driven to rotate.

[0076] In another optional embodiment of this application, the drive mechanism 50 includes a linear motor and a rotary motor. The linear motor is driven by the extrusion mechanism 40, and the rotary motor is driven by the rotation mechanism 20. This provides two power sources to drive the extrusion mechanism 40 and the rotation mechanism 20 respectively, making control more convenient and flexible.

[0077] In another optional embodiment of this application, the drive mechanism 50 includes: a first rotary motor, a cam assembly 51, and a second rotary motor. The first rotary motor is drivenly connected to the extrusion mechanism 40, and the second rotary motor is drivenly connected to the rotation mechanism 20.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, the cam assembly 51 includes a rotating member 511 and a connecting member 512. The connecting member 512 is connected to the extrusion mechanism 40. The mating surfaces of the rotating member 511 and the connecting member 512 have a concave-convex structure. Under the pushing action of the rotating member 511, the connecting member 512 drives the extrusion mechanism 40 to move.

[0079] like Figure 3As shown, the rotating mechanism 20 includes a drain bucket 21 and a reinforcing plate 22. The reinforcing plate 22 is located at the bottom of the drain bucket 21. The rotating mechanism 20 has protruding ribs 200 on both its side walls and bottom. Each rib 200 includes a first rib 212 and a second rib 221. The side wall of the drain bucket 21 also has at least one protruding first rib 212. The reinforcing plate 22 has at least one protruding second rib 221. The side wall of the drain bucket 21 has at least one second through hole 211. This allows the drain bucket 21 to have a relatively thin wall. By placing the reinforcing plate 22 at the bottom of the drain bucket 21, the overall strength of the rotating mechanism 20 is improved. Water on the underwear can also be discharged through the second through hole 211, achieving dehydration of the underwear. The first rib 212 and the second rib 221 can form a turbulent flow, creating a three-dimensional rinsing effect, which is beneficial for improving the cleaning effect of the underwear.

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, the clutch mechanism 52 is fixed to the cylinder 10. The shaft of the clutch mechanism 52 passes through the cylinder 10 and is connected to the drain bucket 21 and the cam assembly 51 respectively. The outer ring 521 of the clutch mechanism 52 is fixedly connected to the drain bucket 21 by screws. The clutch bearing 522 of the clutch mechanism 52 is fixedly connected to the rotating part 511 of the cam assembly 51 by splines. The reinforcing plate 22 is fixed to the bottom of the drain bucket 21, and the arc-shaped mounting bracket 311 is also fixed to the bottom of the drain bucket 21. The squeezing mechanism 40 is connected above the cam assembly 51. The clutch mechanism 52 drives the cam assembly 51, and the drain bucket 21 remains stationary. The cam assembly 51 starts to rotate, driving the squeezing mechanism 40 to squeeze the underwear up and down. After squeezing and washing for a period of time, the clutch mechanism 52 switches to another state, driving the drain bucket 21 to rotate. During the rotation of the drain bucket 21, the ribs on the side wall and the reinforcing plate at the bottom of the bucket are driven to form a turbulent flow, creating a three-dimensional rinsing effect. Throughout the washing process, the bra straps and back straps remain between the mounting bracket 311 and the drain tub 21, preventing tangling and wear.

[0081] According to another aspect of the present invention, a control method for a garment processing apparatus is also provided, wherein the garment processing apparatus is as described above; the control method includes the following steps: detecting the force value of underwear in the garment processing apparatus using a force detection unit of the garment processing apparatus. By adding the step of detecting the force value of underwear, the control of the garment processing apparatus becomes more precise, thereby improving the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency of the garment processing apparatus.

[0082] Optionally, the control method further includes the following steps: controlling the movement of the squeezing mechanism 40 of the garment processing device to adjust the force value of the underwear in the garment processing device. This avoids excessive or insufficient force on the underwear, and also allows for adjustment of the corresponding force value according to the process to be executed, or execution of the corresponding process based on the force value.

[0083] Optionally, the control method further includes the following steps: determining whether the force value of the underwear reaches a set value; if so, controlling the garment processing device to perform a dehydration control step; if not, controlling the squeezing mechanism 40 of the garment processing device to move, adjusting the force value of the underwear in the garment processing device; or

[0084] The stroke position of the squeezing mechanism 40 is pre-established to correspond with the force value of the underwear. By controlling the squeezing mechanism 40 to move to the set position, the force value of the underwear reaches the set value.

[0085] In this way, the timing of dehydration is determined based on the stress value, making the dehydration effect more effective and saving more time.

[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the garment handling device is the garment handling device described above, and the drive mechanism 50 of the garment handling device includes a rotary motor, a clutch mechanism 52, and a cam assembly 51; the control method executes the following steps in sequence:

[0087] S1, drainage;

[0088] S2, Control the clutch mechanism 52 to switch to the first working state;

[0089] S3. Control the rotation of the cam assembly 51 while detecting the force value of the underwear;

[0090] S4. Determine whether the stress value of the underwear has reached the set value. If yes, execute S5; otherwise, continue to execute S3.

[0091] S5. Control the clutch mechanism 52 to switch to the second working state;

[0092] S6. Control the rotating mechanism 20 to rotate at the set speed for a set time;

[0093] S7. Control the clutch mechanism 52 to switch to the first working state, control the cam assembly 51 to rotate, and make the extrusion mechanism 40 move away from the support mechanism 30.

[0094] Optionally, the value can be set to the maximum value. When the stress on the underwear reaches the maximum, the centrifugal dehydration control program is executed, resulting in a better dehydration effect.

[0095] Optionally, the control method of the garment handling device provided in this application further includes the following steps:

[0096] The clutch mechanism 52 is switched to the first working state; the rotary motor is controlled to drive the rotating part 511 of the cam assembly 51 to rotate through the clutch mechanism 52, so that the extrusion mechanism 40 moves toward or away from the support mechanism 30 or moves the extrusion mechanism 40; and / or

[0097] Control the clutch mechanism 52 to switch to the second working state; control the rotary motor to drive the rotating mechanism 20 through the clutch mechanism 52 to drive the rotating component 511 to rotate; and / or

[0098] A correspondence is established between the rotation angle of the rotating component 511 of the cam assembly 51 and the force value in advance. By controlling the rotation angle of the rotating component 511 of the cam assembly 51, the force value can be adjusted.

[0099] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, in another optional embodiment of this application, the rotation angle of the rotating member 511 of the cam assembly 51 is pre-established to correspond with the force value of the bra cup. By controlling the rotation angle of the rotating member 511 to α, the force value of the bra is maximized, and centrifugal dehydration begins.

[0100] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a dehydration control method for a garment processing device is provided, including a method for judging the stress on the bra cup and a dehydration control method. The stress on the bra cup is determined by setting a pressure sensor between the extrusion end of the extrusion mechanism 40 and the flexible structure to form a pressure sensing system. The dehydration control method includes controlling the support mechanism to fix the position of the bra cup so that the stress on the bra cup reaches the maximum value. The dehydration control method also includes executing a dehydration program when the stress on the bra cup is at its maximum.

[0101] The pressure sensor is attached to the bra cup to form a pressure sensing system. During the rotation of the rotating part of the cam assembly, the squeezing mechanism 40 moves up and down within a reasonable stroke range, and the pressure sensor detects the force on the bra cup in real time.

[0102] Before the dehydration process, the squeezing mechanism 40 is moved to squeeze the bra cups, fixing the bra between the squeezing mechanism 40 and the flexible structure 312. This maximizes the pressure on the cups and prevents the bra from shifting or deforming due to centrifugal force during dehydration. The maximum pressure value of the cups is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, when the rotation angle of the rotating part 511 of the cam assembly 51 is α, the pressure sensor detects that the pressure on the cup has reached its maximum. At this time, the clutch mechanism 52 is controlled to stop the transmission with the cam assembly 51, and it is determined that the dehydration program is started. The dehydration program controls the clothing processing device to continuously apply pressure and maintain it for a certain period of time when the cup reaches the maximum force value. At the same time, the transmission mode of the clutch mechanism 52 is switched, so that the clutch mechanism 52 and the rotating mechanism 20 rotate to perform high-speed centrifugal dehydration. The high-speed centrifugal dehydration speed is divided into at least 3 gears. The gears can be set manually, and only one speed can be set at a time.

[0103] The garment processing device and its control method provided in this application utilize a pressure sensor installed between the squeezing mechanism 40 and the flexible structure 312. The pressure sensor determines the force applied to the bra cups, and the garment processing device executes the dehydration process when the cups are under maximum force, achieving a better dehydration effect and preventing damage to the underwear due to excessive force, thus addressing user pain points. By adjusting the pressure exerted on the underwear by the squeezing mechanism 40 and the flexible structure 312, the underwear is fixed within the clamping space 1, preventing displacement and deformation during dehydration. The dehydration method combines squeezing dehydration of the bra cups by the squeezing mechanism 40 and the flexible structure 312 with high-speed centrifugal dehydration, achieving a superior dehydration effect.

[0104] The garment processing device and control method provided in this application actually provide a method for judging the force on underwear, solving the problem of extending the service life of underwear; a method for fixing underwear, solving the problem of deformation under force during the dehydration process of underwear; and a method for dehydrating underwear, solving the problems of dehydration method and dehydration effect of underwear.
