In addition, the person skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in the present specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples without contradiction.
[0081] The following will be described in combination with Figures 1-8 The control method of the laundry treating apparatus is described.
[0082] It should be noted that the execution subject of the control method of the laundry treating apparatus can be the laundry treating apparatus, or a control device of the laundry treating apparatus in communication connection with the laundry treating apparatus, or a server in communication connection with the laundry treating apparatus, or a user terminal in communication connection with the laundry treating apparatus, including but not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer or a watch, etc.
[0083] As Figure 1 shown, the control method of the laundry treating apparatus includes steps 110 and 120.
[0084] Step 110, determining that the fan of the laundry treating apparatus rotates at a second rotational speed and the inner tub 210 of the laundry treating apparatus rotates at a first rotational speed, controlling the baffle 220 of the laundry treating apparatus to be in a closed state;
[0085] The baffle 220 is arranged at the air inlet at the rear side of the inner cylinder 210. When the baffle 220 is in the closed state, the airflow blown by the fan bypasses the baffle 220 and blows towards the inner wall of the inner cylinder 210. When the baffle 220 is in the open state, the airflow blown by the fan passes through the baffle 220 and blows towards the inner cylinder 210. The gravity of the clothes to be treated is less than the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the inner cylinder 210 at the first rotation speed.
[0086] In this step, the clothes treatment device can be a device for treating clothes to be treated, such as a dryer.
[0087] The clothes to be treated can be any clothes, including but not limited to wool fabric, silk fabric, and other materials.
[0088] The clothes treatment device is provided with an inner cylinder 210 for placing clothes to be treated. When the clothes treatment device is working, the inner cylinder 210 can rotate and drive the clothes to be treated to rotate.
[0089] The clothes treatment device is also provided with a fan for delivering airflow to the inner cylinder 210.
[0090] It should be noted that the motor of the inner cylinder 210 and the motor of the fan are independent of each other, that is, the air volume of the fan can be independently adjusted and controlled.
[0091] The clothes treatment device is also provided with a baffle 220.
[0092] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the baffle 220 is arranged at the air inlet of the inner cylinder 210, and the diameter of the baffle 220 is less than the cross-sectional diameter of the inner cylinder 210.
[0093] The baffle 220 can be a louvered baffle 220.
[0094] The baffle 220 can be switched between the open state and the closed state.
[0095] When the baffle 220 is closed, the air inlet is blocked from the inner cylinder 210, and the airflow enters the inner cylinder 210 from the gap between the periphery of the baffle 220 and the inner wall of the inner cylinder 210, so that the air entering the inner cylinder 210 enters the inner cylinder 210 from the edge of the inner wall of the inner cylinder 210 and flows along the inner wall of the inner cylinder 210, as shown in Figure 2 .
[0096] When the baffle 220 is opened, the air inlet is not blocked from the inner cylinder 210, and the airflow directly enters the inner cylinder 210 from the air inlet and passes through the central region of the inner cylinder 210, as shown in Figure 3 .
[0097] It should be noted that the opening and closing state of the baffle 220 can be adjusted correspondingly based on the change of the rotation speed of the inner cylinder 210 and the fan, or the opening and closing state of the baffle 220 can be adjusted correspondingly based on the change of the position of the clothes to be treated in the inner cylinder 210.
[0098] In actual execution, the rotation speed of the inner cylinder 210 and the fan is judged, and in the case that the fan rotates at the second rotation speed v2 and the inner cylinder 210 rotates at the first rotation speed v1, the baffle 220 is controlled to be closed.
[0099] It should be noted that,
[0100] Wherein, g is the acceleration of gravity, and r is the radius of the inner cylinder 210.
[0101] The first rotation speed v1 is used to provide a higher rotation speed to control the inner cylinder 210 to rotate at a high speed.
[0102] Under the action of the first rotation speed v1, the centrifugal force of the clothes to be treated is greater than the gravity of the clothes to be treated, so that the clothes to be treated can tightly adhere to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 210 and rotate with the inner cylinder 210 without relative motion with the inner wall of the inner cylinder 210, so as to reduce the number of beating of the clothes to be treated.
[0103] In actual execution, v1 can be set to 65r / min-80r / min.
[0104] It should be noted that the inner cylinder 210 can rotate in a clockwise direction or in a counterclockwise direction, which is not limited by the present application.
[0105] The second rotation speed v2 is used to provide a lower wind speed to control the air volume so that the air volume does not blow off the clothes to be treated attached to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 210.
[0106] It can be understood that in the case that the fan rotates at the second rotation speed v2 and the inner cylinder 210 rotates at the first rotation speed v1, the clothes to be treated can roll tightly against the inner wall of the inner cylinder 210 without relative motion with the inner wall of the inner cylinder 210. In this case, the clothes to be treated are attached to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 210, and after the baffle 220 is closed, the hot air entering the inner cylinder 210 can flow along the inner wall of the inner cylinder 210, thereby enhancing the heat exchange between the hot air and the clothes to be treated with high moisture content, which helps to reduce the drying time; in addition, by closing the baffle 220, the hot air passing through the central region of the inner cylinder 210 can be minimized, reducing heat waste.
[0107] Step 120, determining that the fan rotates at a target rotation speed, and controlling the baffle 220 to be in an open state; wherein the second rotation speed is less than the target rotation speed.
[0108] In this step, the target rotating speed is different from the second rotating speed v2, and the second rotating speed v2 is less than the target rotating speed.
[0109] The target rotating speed is used to provide a higher wind speed, so as to accelerate the heat exchange between the clothes to be treated and the air with a larger circulating air volume, thereby shortening the drying time.
[0110] In some embodiments, the target rotating speed is also used to provide a higher wind speed, so that the clothes to be treated will fall from the inner wall of the inner drum 210 under the action of gravity and wind force at the target position, thereby changing the heat exchange surface between the clothes to be treated and the air.
[0111] The target position can be any position of the inner wall of the inner drum.
[0112] It should be noted that in this step, the rotating speed of the inner drum 210 can be the first rotating speed v1, or can be other rotating speeds lower than the first rotating speed, or the inner drum 210 can also be in a state of stopping rotating.
[0113] The target rotating speed can be determined based on the rotating speed of the inner drum 210.
[0114] The specific determination method of the target rotating speed will be described in subsequent embodiments, and will not be described here.
[0115] In actual execution process, the rotating speed of the fan is judged, and the baffle 220 is controlled to be opened in the case that the fan rotates at the target rotating speed.
[0116] It can be understood that in the case that the fan rotates at the target rotating speed, the clothes to be treated fall from the inner wall of the inner drum 210. In this case, the inner wall of the inner drum 210 has no clothes to be treated attached, and by opening the baffle 220, the hot air entering the inner drum 210 directly passes through the center of the inner drum 210, so as to increase the heat exchange area between the hot air and the clothes to be treated, thereby accelerating the drying rate.
[0117] Of course, in other embodiments, the position information of the clothes to be treated in the inner drum 210 can also be collected by the image sensor, and the baffle 220 is controlled to be closed when it is determined that the clothes to be treated are attached to the inner wall of the inner drum 210, and the baffle 220 is controlled to be opened when it is determined that the clothes to be treated fall from the inner wall of the inner drum 210.
[0118] According to the control method of the clothes treatment equipment provided by the embodiment of the application, by controlling the baffle 220 to be closed when the clothes to be treated are attached to the inner wall of the inner drum 210, the airflow enters the inner drum 210 more along the inner wall of the inner drum 210; and by controlling the baffle 220 to be opened when it is determined that the clothes to be treated fall from the inner wall of the inner drum 210, the heat exchange area between the airflow and the clothes to be treated is further increased, thereby accelerating the drying rate, and in addition, the heat energy can be effectively saved.
[0119] In some embodiments, the method can further include:
[0120] controlling the rotational speed of the fan to decrease to a second rotational speed from the first time instant to a second time instant;
[0121] controlling the inner drum to rotate at the first rotational speed and controlling the fan to rotate at the second rotational speed from the second time instant to a third time instant;
[0122] controlling the rotational speed of the fan to increase to a target rotational speed from the third time instant to a fourth time instant.
[0123] In this embodiment, it can be understood that, in the case of normal operation of the clothes treatment apparatus, the clothes treatment apparatus corresponds to a target operation duration, and the target operation duration can include a plurality of clothes treatment cycles. Each clothes treatment cycle includes a plurality of continuous time periods formed by a plurality of time instants.
[0124] In the case of normal operation of the clothes treatment apparatus, the rotational direction of the inner drum needs to be consistent for each clothes treatment cycle within the target operation duration.
[0125] As shown in FIG. 10, t1-t5 is one clothes treatment cycle, and this step is described. Figures 4-7
[0126] In this step, the clothes treatment cycle includes a first time period formed by a first time instant t1 and a second time instant t2, a second time period formed by the second time instant t2 and a third time instant t3, and a third time period formed by the third time instant t3 and a fourth time instant t4.
[0127] In actual execution, the duration of the clothes treatment cycle and the duration of each time period within each clothes treatment cycle can be set based on actual conditions.
[0128] For example, the duration of each clothes treatment cycle can be set to 10-20 min, or 5-15 min, which is not limited by the present application.
[0129] For another example, the duration of the first time period can be set to 0.5 s or 1 s, the duration of the second time period can be set to 10 min or 12 min, and the duration of the third time period can be set to 0.5 s or 1 s.
[0130] As shown in FIG. 10, in the second time period, the inner drum 210 is controlled to rotate at the first rotational speed v1; Figure 2 and,
[0131] wherein g is the acceleration of gravity, and r is the radius of the inner drum 210.
[0132]
[0133] The first rotating speed v1 is used to provide a higher rotating speed to control the inner drum 210 to rotate at a high speed.
[0134] Under the action of the first rotating speed v1, the centrifugal force of the clothes to be treated is greater than the gravity of the clothes to be treated, so that the clothes to be treated can tightly adhere to the inner wall of the inner drum 210 without relative movement, thereby reducing the falling and beating times of the clothes to be treated.
[0135] In actual implementation, the v1 can be set to 65 r / min-80 r / min.
[0136] It should be noted that the inner drum 210 can rotate in a clockwise direction or can rotate in a counterclockwise direction, which is not limited by the present application.
[0137] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 3 in a first time period, the fan is controlled to rotate at a second rotating speed v2, and in a second time period, the fan is controlled to maintain the second rotating speed v2.
[0138] The second rotating speed v2 is used to provide a lower air speed to control the air volume to not blow the clothes to be treated adhered to the inner wall of the inner drum 210.
[0139] The inventor found in the development process that for clothes with scale structure on the surface, such as wool or cashmere clothes, the friction in the scale direction is small, and the friction in the reverse scale direction is large, thereby having a unique "directional friction effect". In related drying technology, in order to accelerate the heat exchange efficiency between the clothes in the drum and the hot air and shorten the drying time, a drying method of high temperature in the drum and frequent beating of the clothes by the inner drum 210 is often used to dry the clothes to be treated. This method causes greater damage to wool or cashmere clothes with easy felting materials.
[0140] In the embodiment of the present application, in the second time period, the inner drum 210 is controlled to rotate at a high speed to make the clothes to be treated adhere to the inner wall of the inner drum 210, and the air volume is controlled to be low to not blow the clothes to be treated, thereby effectively ensuring that the clothes to be treated and the inner wall of the inner drum 210 have no relative movement, reducing the beating times of the clothes to be treated, and thereby protecting the scale structure on the surface of the wool or cashmere clothes with easy felting materials.
[0141] After the third time t3, in a third time period, the rotating speed of the fan is increased to a target rotating speed, wherein the target rotating speed is greater than the second rotating speed v2.
[0142] The third time period is a relatively short time period, for example, it can be set to 0.5 s or 1 s, etc.
[0143] In the third time period, the clothes to be treated can be separated from the inner wall of the inner drum 210 by increasing the rotating speed of the fan, so as to change the heat exchange surface of the clothes to be treated and air; a higher air speed is provided by the target rotating speed, so as to accelerate the heat exchange between the clothes to be treated and air by a larger circulating air volume, thereby shortening the drying time.
[0144] It can be understood that the control modes of the inner drum, the fan and the baffle in each clothes treatment cycle are similar, and will not be described here.
[0145] According to the control method of the clothes treatment equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application, by controlling the high-speed rotation of the inner drum and the low-speed rotation of the fan from the second time to the third time, the clothes to be treated can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the inner drum and have no relative movement with the inner wall, so as to effectively reduce the falling and beating times of the clothes to be treated and protect the clothes made of wool or cashmere and other materials prone to felting; then the rotating speed of the fan is increased to a higher speed, so as to separate the clothes to be treated from the inner wall of the inner drum, change the heat exchange surface of the clothes to be treated and air, and accelerate the heat exchange between the clothes to be treated and air by a larger circulating air volume, thereby shortening the drying time.
[0146] In some embodiments, the target rotating speed includes a third rotating speed,
[0147] Before controlling the inner drum to rotate at the first rotating speed, the method can further include: from a first time to a second time, increasing the rotating speed of the inner drum to the first rotating speed.
[0148] Increasing the rotating speed of the fan to the target rotating speed includes: from a third time to a fourth time, decreasing the rotating speed of the inner drum to a fourth rotating speed and increasing the rotating speed of the fan to a third rotating speed.
[0149] After increasing the rotating speed of the fan to the target rotating speed, the method can further include: from the fourth time to a fifth time, maintaining the fourth rotating speed of the inner drum and maintaining the third rotating speed of the fan.
[0150] The fourth rotating speed is less than the first rotating speed, and the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the inner drum at the fourth rotating speed is less than the gravity of the clothes to be treated.
[0151] In this embodiment, the target rotating speed is determined according to the following formula: Figures 4-5 The clothes treatment cycle can further include a fourth time period formed by the fourth time t4 and the fifth time t5.
[0152] The length of the fourth time period can be set to 3s or 5s, etc.
[0153] As Figure 4As shown, during the first time period, the rotational speed of the inner cylinder 210 is rapidly increased from the fourth rotational speed v4 to the first rotational speed v1. After maintaining the rotation at v1 for a certain period of time, during the third time period, the rotational speed of the inner cylinder 210 is rapidly decreased to the fourth rotational speed v4. During the fourth time period, the inner cylinder 210 is maintained at the fourth rotational speed v4 for a certain period of time.
[0154] and,
[0155] Where g is the acceleration due to gravity, and r is the radius of the inner cylinder 210.
[0156] The fourth speed, v4, is used to provide a lower speed.
[0157] In this embodiment, by rotating the inner drum 210 at a fourth rotational speed v4, which is less than the first rotational speed v1, the clothes to be treated can be made to fall from the inner wall of the inner drum 210 at the target position, thereby changing the heat exchange surface between the clothes to be treated and the air.
[0158] It should be noted that in some embodiments, v4 = 0.
[0159] In this embodiment, the inner drum 210 is stopped during the time period t4-t5. This allows the clothes to be treated to fall off, thereby changing the heat exchange surface between the clothes and the air, while also minimizing the number of times the clothes are shaken.
[0160] Under the action of the fourth rotational speed v4, the centrifugal force of the clothes to be treated is less than the weight of the clothes to be treated, so that the clothes to be treated can fall from the inner wall of the inner cylinder 210 at the target position, thereby changing the heat exchange surface between the clothes to be treated and the air.
[0161] like Figure 5 As shown, during the first time period, the speed of the control fan is rapidly reduced to the second speed v2. After maintaining v2 for a certain period of time, during the third time period, the speed of the control fan is rapidly increased to the third speed v3, and during the fourth time period, the control fan is maintained at the third speed v3.
[0162] The third rotation speed, v3, is used to provide a higher air velocity, thereby accelerating the heat exchange between the clothes and the air with a larger circulating air volume, thus shortening the drying time.
[0163] According to the control method of the clothes processing device provided by the embodiment of the present application, by controlling the inner drum to rapidly decelerate to the third speed from the third time to the fourth time, the number of times of beating of the clothes to be processed can be reduced, and the scale structure of the surface of the clothes made of wool or cashmere and the like which are prone to felting can be protected; by controlling the inner drum to rotate at a low speed or to stop rotating from the fourth time to the fifth time, and by controlling the fan to maintain a relatively high air volume, the heat exchange between the clothes to be processed and air is accelerated on the basis of changing the heat exchange surface of the clothes to be processed and air, so that the drying time is effectively shortened, and the drying effect is improved.
[0164] In some embodiments, the target rotating speed includes a fifth rotating speed,
[0165] Before the inner drum is controlled to rotate at the first rotating speed, the method can further include: from a first time to a second time, controlling the inner drum to maintain rotation at the first rotating speed.
[0166] Controlling the rotating speed of the fan to increase to the target rotating speed includes: from a third time to a fourth time, controlling the inner drum to maintain rotation at the first rotating speed, and controlling the rotating speed of the fan to increase to a fifth rotating speed.
[0167] After the rotating speed of the fan is controlled to increase to the target rotating speed, the method can further include: from the fourth time to a fifth time, controlling the inner drum to maintain rotation at the first rotating speed, and controlling the fan to maintain rotation at the fifth rotating speed.
[0168] In this embodiment, the reference Figures 6-7 The clothes processing cycle can further include a fourth time period formed by the fourth time t4 and the fifth time t5.
[0169] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 6 During the t1-t5 time period, the rotating speed of the inner drum 210 is always controlled to maintain the first rotating speed v1 unchanged.
[0170] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 7 During the first time period, the rotating speed of the fan is rapidly reduced to a second rotating speed v2, and after maintaining rotation at v2 for a certain length of time, during the third time period, the rotating speed of the fan is rapidly increased to a fifth rotating speed v5, and during the fourth time period, the fan is controlled to maintain rotation at the fifth rotating speed v5.
[0171] The fifth rotating speed v5 is greater than the third rotating speed v3.
[0172] The fifth rotating speed v5 is used to provide a relatively high air speed, so that the clothes to be processed will fall from the inner wall of the inner drum 210 under the action of gravity and air force at the target position, thereby changing the heat exchange surface of the clothes to be processed and air. At the same time, the fifth rotating speed v5 also accelerates the heat exchange between the clothes to be processed and air by providing a relatively large circulating air volume, thereby shortening the drying time.
[0173] According to the control method of the clothes processing device provided by the embodiment of the present application, by controlling the fan to rotate at a low speed at the second time to the third time under the condition that the inner drum 210 is controlled to maintain high-speed rotation, it can be ensured that the clothes to be processed can rotate closely to the inner wall of the inner drum 210 and not be blown off, thereby effectively reducing the number of times of falling and beating of the clothes to be processed, and protecting the scale structure of the surface of the clothes of the wool type or cashmere type and the like which are prone to felting; then, the speed of the fan is increased to the fifth speed at the third time to the fourth time, and the fan is controlled to rotate at the fifth speed at the fourth time to the fifth time, by increasing the speed of the fan to blow off the clothes to be processed, on the basis of changing the heat exchange surface of the clothes to be processed and air, the heat exchange of the clothes to be processed and air can be accelerated, thereby effectively shortening the drying time and improving the drying effect.
[0174] In some embodiments, in the case that the clothes processing cycle is a starting cycle, the method can further include:
[0175] At the starting time to the sixth time t6, the speed of the inner drum 210 is controlled to increase rapidly from 0 to the first speed v1, and the speed of the fan is controlled to increase from 0 to the second speed v2.
[0176] In this embodiment, the sixth time t6 is the time when the inner drum is accelerated to the first speed for the first time in the entire working process.
[0177] Wherein, t6 is before the first time t1.
[0178] It should be noted that the control mode of the speed of the inner drum 210 and the fan in other time periods in the starting cycle is the same as the control mode of the speed of the inner drum 210 and the fan in the corresponding time periods in other processing cycles, which will not be repeated here.
[0179] It can be understood that the clothes processing device can further include a heat pump system.
[0180] The heat pump system is used for drying the clothes to be processed in the inner drum 210.
[0181] A temperature sensor is arranged on the heat pump system, and the temperature sensor is used for collecting the temperature at any position of the outlet of the condenser, the inlet of the condenser, the exhaust port of the compressor and the inlet of the capillary tube of the heat pump system in real time.
[0182] The control logic of the heat pump system in the control method of the clothes processing device provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described below. Figure 8
[0183] In some embodiments, the method can further include:
[0184] At the starting time when the clothes processing device starts to work, the heat pump system of the clothes processing device is controlled to start;
[0185] determining that the obtained target temperature value reaches a first temperature threshold, the target temperature value being a real-time temperature value of an outlet of a condenser of the clothes treatment apparatus, and controlling the heat pump system to be turned on for a first time length and then turned off;
[0186] determining that the target temperature value is lower than a second temperature threshold, and that a working time length of the clothes treatment apparatus reaches a target time length, and controlling the fan to rotate at a sixth rotating speed;
[0187] The first temperature threshold is higher than the second temperature threshold, and the target rotating speed is lower than the sixth rotating speed.
[0188] In this embodiment, the target temperature value is one of a real-time temperature of the outlet of the condenser, a real-time temperature of an inlet of the condenser, a real-time temperature of an exhaust of the compressor, and a real-time temperature of an inlet of the capillary tube.
[0189] It should be noted that the target temperature value is real-time changing.
[0190] In actual execution, taking the real-time temperature value of the outlet of the condenser as an example, the target temperature value can be collected by a temperature sensor arranged at the outlet of the condenser of the heat pump system.
[0191] The collection of the temperature value can be based on a set time interval, such as collecting the target temperature value every 30 seconds or every 1 minute.
[0192] The first temperature threshold is an upper limit value of the temperature threshold of the outlet of the condenser, and the second temperature threshold is a lower limit value of the temperature threshold of the outlet of the condenser.
[0193] By controlling the target temperature value to be between the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold, the air temperature in the inner drum 210 can be ensured to be a constant value.
[0194] The first temperature threshold and the second threshold can be customized by a user, or can be determined based on the clothes to be treated.
[0195] In some embodiments, before step 110, the method can further include:
[0196] obtaining weight information of the clothes to be treated;
[0197] determining the second temperature threshold and the first temperature threshold based on the weight information, the second temperature threshold and the first temperature threshold being temperature thresholds corresponding to one of the outlet of the condenser, the inlet of the condenser, the exhaust of the compressor, and the inlet of the capillary tube, and the first temperature threshold being higher than the second temperature threshold.
[0198] In this embodiment, the weight information of the clothes to be treated can be collected by a weight sensor, or the weight information of the clothes to be treated can be input by a user.
[0199] It can be understood that the position corresponding to the temperature threshold should be consistent with the position corresponding to the target temperature value.
[0200] After obtaining the weight information of the to-be-processed clothes, a temperature value required for drying the to-be-processed clothes of the weight is determined based on the weight information, so as to determine the upper limit and the lower limit of the condenser outlet temperature threshold.
[0201] For example, the first temperature threshold is generally set to be between 60°C-75°C, and the second temperature threshold is generally set to be between 58°C-73°C. In the case that the condenser outlet temperature position is within the temperature threshold, the air temperature in the inner drum 210 can be maintained at about 65°C.
[0202] The first time length can be customized by the user, for example, the first time length can be set to be 15s-30s.
[0203] The working time length of the clothes processing apparatus is the total time length from the starting time when the clothes processing apparatus starts working to the current time.
[0204] The target time length can be customized by the user.
[0205] For example, the target time length can be set to be between 1min or 2min before the end of the target working time length from the starting time when the clothes processing apparatus starts working.
[0206] The target working time length is the total working time length required for the clothes processing apparatus to process the to-be-processed clothes.
[0207] The target working time length can be customized by the user or determined based on the to-be-processed clothes.
[0208] In some embodiments, before step 110, the method can further include:
[0209] Obtaining weight information of the to-be-processed clothes;
[0210] Determining a target working time length based on the weight information.
[0211] In this embodiment, the weight information of the to-be-processed clothes can be collected by a weight sensor, or the weight information of the to-be-processed clothes can be input by the user.
[0212] After obtaining the weight information of the to-be-processed clothes, a working time length required for drying the to-be-processed clothes of the weight is determined based on the weight information, i.e., the target working time length.
[0213] For example, the target working time length can be generally set to be between 2h-5h.
[0214] The sixth rotating speed v6 is a rotating speed greater than the target rotating speed, used to increase the circulating air volume, so as to cool the clothes to be treated quickly.
[0215] As shown in the actual execution process, taking the real-time temperature value at the outlet of the condenser as the target temperature value for example, first, the appropriate control program is determined based on the weight information of the clothes to be treated, and the target working time, the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold corresponding to the clothes to be treated under the weight information are determined based on the control program. Figure 8
[0216] Then the clothes treatment equipment is started, at the starting moment when the clothes treatment equipment starts to work, the heat pump system of the clothes treatment equipment is controlled to start, and the rotating speed of the inner drum 210 is controlled to increase rapidly from 0 to the first rotating speed v1, and the rotating speed of the fan is controlled to increase from 0 to the second rotating speed v2.
[0217] Then the rotating speed of the inner drum 210 is controlled to maintain v1, and the rotating speed of the fan is controlled to maintain v2 for a period of time, then the rotating speed of the inner drum 210 is controlled to decrease rapidly from the first rotating speed v1 to the fourth rotating speed v4, while maintaining the inner drum 210 rotating at the fourth rotating speed v4, the rotating speed of the fan is controlled to increase from the second rotating speed v2 to the third rotating speed v3, and the fan is maintained to rotate at the third rotating speed v3 for a period of time, then the rotating speed of the fan is controlled to decrease from the third rotating speed v3 to the second rotating speed v2, thereby completing the first clothes treatment cycle and entering the next clothes treatment cycle.
[0218] In another embodiment, after the rotating speed of the inner drum 210 is controlled to increase to v1, the rotating speed of the inner drum 210 can also be maintained unchanged, after the fan is controlled to maintain v2 rotating for a period of time, the rotating speed of the fan is controlled to increase from v2 to v5, then the fan is maintained to rotate at the fifth rotating speed v5 for a period of time, then the rotating speed of the fan is controlled to decrease from the fifth rotating speed v5 to the second rotating speed v2, thereby completing the first clothes treatment cycle and entering the next clothes treatment cycle.
[0219] Wherein, v5>v3.
[0220] The control process of each clothes treatment cycle has been described in the previous embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
[0221] While the inner drum 210 and the fan rotate according to the above control process, the temperature sensor arranged at the outlet of the condenser collects the target temperature value at the outlet of the condenser in real time, and compares the target temperature value with the first temperature threshold.
[0222] In the case where it is determined that the target temperature value reaches the first temperature threshold, the heat pump system is controlled to start for a first time period and then to stop, for example, after it is determined that the target temperature value reaches the first temperature threshold, the temperature is maintained for 15-30s, and then the heat pump system is controlled to stop, so that the air in the inner drum 210 starts to cool down.
[0223] At this time, the inner drum 210 and the fan continue to operate.
[0224] Then the target temperature value at the outlet of the condenser is continuously collected and compared with the second temperature threshold.
[0225] In a case where it is determined that the target temperature value is lower than the second temperature threshold, after the first duration, it is continued to detect whether the working duration of the clothes treatment apparatus reaches the target duration. For example, after it is determined that the target temperature value is lower than the second temperature threshold, the temperature is maintained for 15s-30s, and then it is detected whether the working duration of the clothes treatment apparatus reaches the target duration.
[0226] In a case where the working duration of the clothes treatment apparatus reaches the target duration, such as 1min before the end of the target working duration, the rotational speed of the fan is controlled to increase to the sixth rotational speed v6 to accelerate the temperature drop of the inner drum 210 and the surface of the clothes to be treated, and after a period of time, the drying program is ended.
[0227] In this embodiment, the heat pump system is used to heat the air side using the heat of the condenser. By collecting the real-time temperature at the outlet of the condenser and controlling the opening and closing of the heat pump system based on the real-time temperature at the outlet of the condenser, the characteristics of the single-phase liquid state of the condenser outlet are used to make the measurement more accurate.
[0228] In addition, based on the fixed temperature difference between the real-time temperature at the outlet of the condenser and the surface temperature of the clothes to be treated in the inner drum 210, the temperature of the clothes to be treated can be more accurately controlled, thereby effectively protecting the clothes to be treated.
[0229] In some embodiments, the method can further include:
[0230] At the starting moment when the clothes treatment apparatus starts to work, the heat pump system of the clothes treatment apparatus is controlled to be turned on;
[0231] It is determined that the obtained target temperature value reaches the first temperature threshold, and the heat pump system is controlled to be turned on for a first duration and then turned off;
[0232] It is determined that the target temperature value is lower than the second temperature threshold, and the working duration of the clothes treatment apparatus does not reach the target duration, and the heat pump system is controlled to be turned on;
[0233] The target temperature value is one of the real-time temperature at the outlet of the condenser of the clothes treatment apparatus, the real-time temperature at the inlet of the condenser, the real-time temperature at the outlet of the compressor, and the real-time temperature at the inlet of the capillary, and the first temperature threshold is higher than the second temperature threshold.
[0234] In this embodiment, the target temperature value is obtained in the same manner as in the above embodiment, and the control process of the inner drum 210 and the fan in each clothes treatment cycle is the same as in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
[0235] With reference to the above Figure 8 In actual implementation, taking the real-time temperature value at the outlet of the condenser as the target temperature value as an example, first, a suitable control program is determined based on the weight information of the clothes to be treated, and the target working time, the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold corresponding to the clothes to be treated under the weight information are determined based on the control program.
[0236] Then start the clothes treatment equipment, at the starting moment when the clothes treatment equipment starts to work, control the heat pump system of the clothes treatment equipment to start, and control the inner drum 210 and the fan to rotate according to the above control process.
[0237] The target temperature value at the outlet of the condenser is collected in real time by the temperature sensor arranged at the outlet of the condenser, and the target temperature value is compared with the first temperature threshold.
[0238] In the case where it is determined that the target temperature value reaches the first temperature threshold, the heat pump system is controlled to start for a first time length and then to stop, for example, after it is determined that the target temperature value reaches the first temperature threshold, the temperature is maintained for 15s-30s, and then the heat pump system is controlled to stop, so that the air in the inner drum 210 starts to cool down.
[0239] At this time, the inner drum 210 and the fan continue to run.
[0240] Then continue to collect the target temperature value at the outlet of the condenser, and compare the target temperature value with the second temperature threshold.
[0241] In the case where it is determined that the target temperature value is lower than the second temperature threshold, the working time of the clothes treatment equipment is continuously detected after the first time length. For example, after it is determined that the target temperature value is lower than the second temperature threshold, the temperature is maintained for 15s-30s, and then it is detected whether the working time of the clothes treatment equipment reaches the target time.
[0242] In the case where the working time of the clothes treatment equipment does not reach the target time, for example, does not reach 1min before the end of the target working time, the heat pump system is controlled to start to heat the air in the inner drum 210 and the clothes to be treated.
[0243] At the same time, the inner drum 210 and the fan continue to rotate according to the control process in the clothes treatment cycle.
[0244] Then the target temperature value at the outlet of the condenser is continuously collected, the target temperature value is compared with the first temperature threshold, and the above judgment step is repeated until it is detected that the working time length of the clothes processing device reaches the target time length, and the rotating speed of the fan is increased to the sixth rotating speed v6 to accelerate the temperature drop of the inner drum 210 and the surface of the clothes to be processed. After a period of time, the drying program is ended.
[0245] With reference to the above Figure 8 In some other embodiments, the method can further include:
[0246] At the starting moment when the clothes processing device starts to work, the heat pump system of the clothes processing device is controlled to be turned on;
[0247] It is determined that the obtained target temperature value reaches the first temperature threshold, and the heat pump system is controlled to be turned off after being turned on for a first time length;
[0248] It is determined that the target temperature value is not lower than the second temperature threshold, and the inner drum 210 and the fan continue to rotate according to the control process in the clothes processing cycle.
[0249] In this embodiment, taking the real-time temperature value at the outlet of the condenser as the target temperature value as an example, in the case where it is determined that the target temperature value reaches the first temperature threshold, the heat pump system is controlled to be turned off after being turned on for a first time length, such as maintaining the temperature for 15-30s after it is determined that the target temperature value reaches the first temperature threshold, and then the heat pump system is controlled to be turned off, so that the air in the inner drum 210 starts to cool down.
[0250] At this time, the inner drum 210 and the fan continue to run.
[0251] Then the target temperature value at the outlet of the condenser is continuously collected, and the target temperature value is compared with the second temperature threshold.
[0252] In the case where it is determined that the target temperature value is not lower than the second temperature threshold, the heat pump system is kept off, and the inner drum 210 and the fan continue to rotate according to the control process in the clothes processing cycle.
[0253] The target temperature value at the outlet of the condenser is continuously collected, and the target temperature value is compared with the second temperature threshold, until the target temperature value is lower than the second temperature threshold, and then it is continuously detected whether the working time length of the clothes processing device reaches the target time length after a first time length.
[0254] With reference to the above Figure 8 In some embodiments, the method can further include:
[0255] At the starting moment when the clothes processing device starts to work, the heat pump system of the clothes processing device is controlled to be turned on;
[0256] It is determined that the obtained target temperature value does not reach the first temperature threshold, and the working time length of the clothes processing device reaches the target time length, the heat pump system is controlled to be closed, and the fan is controlled to rotate at the sixth rotating speed;
[0257] The target temperature value is one of the real-time temperature of the condenser outlet, the real-time temperature of the condenser inlet, the real-time temperature of the compressor exhaust, and the real-time temperature of the inlet of the capillary tube of the clothes processing device, and the target rotating speed is less than the sixth rotating speed.
[0258] In this embodiment, the target temperature value is obtained in the same way as in the above embodiment, and the control process of the inner drum 210 and the fan in each clothes processing cycle is the same as in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
[0259] In actual execution, first, based on the weight information of the clothes to be processed, a suitable control program is determined, and based on the control program, the target working time length, the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold corresponding to the clothes to be processed under the weight information are determined.
[0260] Then start the clothes processing device, at the starting moment when the clothes processing device starts to work, control the heat pump system of the clothes processing device to start, and control the inner drum 210 and the fan to rotate according to the above control process.
[0261] The temperature sensor arranged at any position of the condenser outlet, the condenser inlet, the compressor exhaust port and the capillary inlet is used to collect the target temperature value at the condenser outlet in real time, and the target temperature value is compared with the first temperature threshold.
[0262] In the case where it is determined that the target temperature value does not reach the first temperature threshold, it is detected whether the working time length of the clothes processing device reaches the target time length.
[0263] When the working time length of the clothes processing device reaches the target time length, such as 1 min before the target working time length ends, the heat pump system is controlled to be closed, and the rotating speed of the fan is increased to the sixth rotating speed v6 to speed up the temperature drop of the inner drum 210 and the surface of the clothes to be processed. After a period of time, the drying program is ended.
[0264] Continue to refer to Figure 8 In other embodiments, taking the real-time temperature value of the condenser outlet as the target temperature value as an example, in the case where it is determined that the target temperature value does not reach the first temperature threshold and the working time length of the clothes processing device does not reach the target time length, the inner drum 210 and the fan continue to rotate according to the control process in the clothes processing cycle.
[0265] Then the target temperature value of the condenser outlet is continuously collected, the target temperature value is compared with the first temperature threshold, and the above judgment steps are repeated until it is detected that the working time length of the clothes processing device reaches the target time length, and the rotating speed of the fan is increased to the sixth rotating speed v6 to accelerate the temperature drop of the inner drum 210 and the surface of the clothes to be processed.
[0266] According to the control method of the clothes processing device provided by the embodiment of the application, the opening and closing of the heat pump system are controlled by the target temperature value of any position such as the condenser outlet, the condenser inlet, the compressor exhaust port and the capillary inlet, which can improve the accuracy of temperature control; in the stage when the target working time length is close to the end, the heat pump system is closed and the rotating speed of the fan is increased, which can accelerate the temperature drop of the inner drum 210 and the surface of the clothes to be processed.
