[0057] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0058] The terminology used in the embodiments of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “Multiple” generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.
[0059] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0060] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product or system. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system that includes said element.
[0061] Existing washing machines use electric heating elements to heat the drying airflow, which in turn dries the clothes. After the drying airflow enters the inner drum of the washing machine, the airflow direction is fixed and cannot be adjusted in time according to the distribution of the clothes, resulting in low drying efficiency, long drying time and insufficient drying.
[0062] This invention creatively provides a drying control method for a garment processing device, which obtains the current outer contour dimension of the drying load in the inner drum, adjusts the air delivery direction of the air guide plate according to the current outer contour dimension, and then controls the rotation of the air guide plate to match the air delivery direction of the current outer contour dimension; optimizes the drying process, makes the drying airflow fully contact the drying load, and ensures thorough and complete drying, thereby improving drying efficiency and shortening drying time.
[0063] Example 1
[0064] <Clothing Processing Equipment>
[0065] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes an inner tub 1 and a drying assembly. The garment processing equipment has a drying process. The drying assembly 3 forms a drying air duct with an air inlet 311. The drying air duct can deliver drying airflow 44 to the inner tub 1 through the air inlet 311. The drying assembly 3 also includes a heating element 41, a fan 42, and a guide plate 43 for drying the garments. Specifically, the heating element 41 provides heat to the drying airflow 44 and is located inside the drying air duct. The fan 42 provides circulating power to the drying airflow 44 and is located inside the drying air duct. The guide plate 43 is rotatably located at the air inlet 311 and can be controlled to adjust the airflow direction. The inner tub 1 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, and it can also rotate counterclockwise.
[0066] Specifically, the inner tub 1 is parallel to the horizontal direction along its axis. The garment processing equipment also includes an outer tub 2, which includes a bottom wall and a peripheral wall surrounding the bottom wall. The bottom wall has an air outlet 21, and the peripheral wall has an installation opening. The air outlet 21 is positioned lower than the installation opening. The inner tub 1 is rotatably mounted inside the outer tub 2, and a drying load 45 is installed inside the inner tub 1. The inner tub 1 can be controlled to rotate relative to the outer tub 2. The drying air duct includes an air inlet section 31, a drying section 32, and a condenser. Section 33, air inlet section 31 is located at the installation port and one end of air inlet section 31 extends toward the opening of inner barrel 1, and the other end of air inlet section 31 extends laterally toward outer barrel and connects with one end of drying section 32; condensation section 33 is close to the bottom wall of outer barrel and one end of condensation section 33 connects to air outlet 21, and the other end of condensation section 33 connects to the other end of drying section 32; drying section 32 is close to the peripheral wall of outer barrel and along the flow direction of drying airflow 44, and a fan 42 and a heating element 41 are arranged in sequence in drying section 32.
[0067] <Drying Control Methods>
[0068] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the drying control method includes:
[0069] S1. Obtain the current outer contour dimension of the drying load 45 in the inner drum;
[0070] S2. Adjust the air delivery direction of the air guide plate 43 according to the current outer contour dimensions;
[0071] By adjusting the air delivery direction of the air guide plate 43, the air delivery method of the drying airflow 44 facing the bottom of the inner drum in the existing technology can be optimized, providing more air delivery methods and improving drying efficiency; making full use of the heat of the drying airflow 44, increasing the contact area between the drying airflow 44 and the drying load 45, so that the drying airflow 44 and the drying load 45 are in full contact, improving the control accuracy of the drying process, and making the drying thorough and sufficient.
[0072] Furthermore, S2 includes:
[0073] S21. Determine the target air delivery angle of the air guide plate 43 based on the current outer contour dimensions;
[0074] S22. Control the air guide plate 43 to rotate to the target air delivery angle;
[0075] S21 includes:
[0076] S211. Determine the current relative distance between the air inlet 311 and the drying load 45 based on the current outer contour dimensions of the drying load 45.
[0077] S212. Determine the target air delivery angle of the air guide plate 43 based on the current relative distance.
[0078] S211 includes:
[0079] Control the inner drum to perform a drying load of 45 and shake it to disperse the contents.
[0080] After the drying load 45 has been shaken out, determine the current outer contour height h of the drying load 45;
[0081] The relative distance between the air inlet 311 and the drying load 45 in the vertical direction is determined as yh based on the current outer contour height h of the drying load 45 and the inner diameter y of the inner drum 1.
[0082] The relative distance between the air inlet 311 and the drying load 45 in the horizontal direction is determined to be x / 2 based on the depth x of the inner drum 1.
[0083] Specifically, adjusting the airflow direction of the air guide plate 43, in conjunction with the shaking operation, ensures that the drying load 45 and the drying airflow 44 are in full contact, improving drying efficiency and user experience. Controlling the inner drum 1 to perform the shaking operation of the drying load 45 includes: controlling the inner drum 1 to alternately rotate forward and reverse at a preset shaking speed; for example, at a certain moment, the first part of the drying load 45 is distributed in the upper part of the inner drum 1 and is directly blown by the air inlet 311; at this moment, the second part of the drying load 45 is distributed in the lower part of the inner drum 1 and is not directly blown by the air inlet 311; through the shaking operation, the second part of the drying load 45 can be distributed in the upper part of the inner drum 1 while the first part of the drying load 45 can be distributed in the lower part of the inner drum 1; of course, through the shaking operation, the drying load in the middle of the inner drum 1 can also be distributed in the upper part of the inner drum 1, etc.
[0084] In the existing technology, the shaking and scattering is generally judged by the power change of the drive motor of the inner drum 1. By setting a constant speed for the drive motor, the power fluctuation at that speed is measured to determine whether the drying load 45 has been shaken and scattered. When the drying load 45 is not completely shaken and scattered, the motor power will fluctuate due to uneven weight distribution.
[0085] The current outer contour height h of the drying load 45 is the average height. Determining the current contour height h of the drying load includes:
[0086] Obtain the vertical distances h1, h2, h3, ..., h from n points on the top outer contour of the drying load to the wall of the inner drum 1. n-1 h n ;
[0087] h1, h2, h3, ..., h n-1 h n Calculate the average current outer contour height h of the drying load: h = (h1 + h2 + h3 + ... + h n-1 +h n ) / n.
[0088] Specifically, the vertical distance h from a point on the top outer contour of the drying load 45 to the wall of the inner drum 1 is determined by sound waves. n Alternatively, the garment handling equipment may also include a door, which is located at the opening of the outer tub 2. A camera is installed in the glass bowl of the door to obtain the vertical distance h from a point on the top outer contour of the drying load 45 to the wall of the inner tub 1. n .
[0089] S212 includes:
[0090] The target air delivery angle α of the air guide plate 43 is determined by the vertical relative distance yh between the air inlet 311 and the drying load 45 and the horizontal relative distance x / 2 between the air inlet 311 and the drying load 45. The angle α is calculated as arctan(x / 2) / (yh).
[0091] After controlling the air guide plate 43 to rotate to the target air delivery angle, the drying control method also includes:
[0092] S3. Determine the target rotation-to-stop ratio a = k * h for inner barrel 1 based on the current outer contour height h and the preset coefficient k.
[0093] S4. Control the inner tub 1 to rotate according to the target rotation-stop ratio a, and control the operation of the fan 42 and the electric heating element 41; the drying airflow 44 flows along the preset route through the uppermost drying load 45, and the drying load 45 flips back and forth with the movement of the inner tub 1, and the drying load 45 has the opportunity to appear on the uppermost layer; since the inner tub 1 is in a low-speed rotation state, the drying load 45 will not reach the bottom of the inner tub 1 but will move dynamically at the bottom of the inner tub 1.
[0094] As the drying process proceeds, the moisture content of the drying load 45 will continuously decrease, causing the drying load 45 to become fluffy and the h value to increase; therefore, this embodiment proposes that the drying control method further includes:
[0095] Obtain the current moisture content of the drying load of 45 at the current moment;
[0096] Compare the current moisture content with the first preset value;
[0097] When the current moisture content is less than the first preset value, the air guide plate 43 is controlled to maintain the current air supply angle and the inner barrel 1 is controlled to maintain the current target rotation-stop ratio.
[0098] In addition, drying control methods also include:
[0099] Obtain the initial moisture content of the drying load 45 before the drying process starts and the current moisture content of the drying load 45.
[0100] Calculate the change in moisture content of drying load 45 based on the initial moisture content and the current moisture content;
[0101] Compare the change in moisture content with the second preset value;
[0102] When the change in moisture content is greater than or equal to the second preset value, the current outer contour dimension of the drying load 45 is redefined; specifically, the current outer contour dimension of the drying load 45 is the current outer contour height.
[0103] When the current moisture content of the drying load 45 is high, adjust the air delivery direction of the air guide plate 43 and the rotation / stop ratio of the inner drum 1 according to the outer contour height of the drying load 45; when the current moisture content of the drying load 45 is low, maintain the air delivery direction of the air guide plate 43 and the rotation / stop ratio of the inner drum 1 until the current moisture content is 0, and end the drying process.
[0104] This embodiment also provides a garment processing device, which employs the drying control method of the garment processing device described in any of the above embodiments.
[0105] Example 2
[0106] Unlike Example 1, S2 includes:
[0107] The target air delivery range of the air guide plate 43 is determined based on the current outer contour height.
[0108] Control the air guide plate 43 to swing back and forth within the target air delivery range.
[0109] Example 3
[0110] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, this embodiment provides a garment processing device, including an inner tub 1, a drying assembly 3, and an air supply assembly; the drying assembly 3 forms a drying air duct, and the drying air duct forms an air inlet 311, through which the drying assembly 3 can supply drying airflow to the inner tub 1; the air supply assembly includes an air supply component 5, which is movably disposed at the air inlet 311 and forms an air supply duct 53; the air supply duct 53 connects the drying air duct and the inner tub 1; in this embodiment, the top and bottom walls of the air supply duct 53 both serve the same function as the air guide plate in embodiments 1 and 2;
[0111] The air supply component 5 can be controlled to move, so that the drying airflow in the drying air duct can be sent to different areas of the inner barrel 1 through the air supply duct 53;
[0112] By adjusting the air supply direction of the air supply component 5, the existing air supply method in which the drying airflow is directed towards the bottom of the inner drum 1 can be optimized, providing more air supply methods and improving drying efficiency; making full use of the heat of the drying airflow, increasing the contact area between the drying airflow and the clothes, ensuring full contact between the drying airflow and the clothes, improving the control precision of the drying process, and ensuring thorough and sufficient drying.
[0113] Specifically, the inner tub 1 is parallel to the horizontal direction along its axis. The garment processing equipment also includes an outer tub 2, which includes a bottom wall and a peripheral wall surrounding the bottom wall. An air outlet 21 is formed on the bottom wall, and an installation opening is formed on the peripheral wall. The air outlet 21 is positioned lower than the installation opening. The inner tub 1 is rotatably disposed within the outer tub 2, and garments are disposed within it. The inner tub 1 can be controlled to rotate relative to the outer tub 2, thereby drying the garments. The drying duct includes an air inlet section 31, a drying section 32, and a condensation section 33 connected sequentially. The air inlet section 31 is located within the outer tub 2. At the filling port, one end of the air inlet section 31 extends towards the opening of the inner barrel 1, and the other end of the air inlet section 31 extends laterally towards the outer barrel 2 and connects to one end of the drying section 32; the condensing section 33 is close to the bottom wall of the outer barrel, and one end of the condensing section 33 connects to the air outlet 21, and the other end of the condensing section 33 connects to the other end of the drying section 32; the drying section 32 is close to the peripheral wall of the outer barrel, and along the flow direction of the drying airflow 44, a fan 42 and a heating element 41 are arranged in sequence in the drying section 32; the heating element 41 provides heat to the drying airflow, and the fan 42 provides circulating power for the drying airflow.
[0114] To address the issues of complex structure of the air supply component 5 and unreliable connection between the air supply component 5 and the air inlet 311, this embodiment proposes that the air supply component 5 has a shell structure and includes a connecting end 51 and an air supply end 52 arranged opposite to each other. The connecting end 51 is rotatably disposed at the air inlet 311 via a rotating shaft, and the connecting end 51 is flexibly connected to the air inlet 311. This structure is simple and the connection is reliable. On the one hand, it allows the drying airflow in the drying air duct to smoothly enter the air supply duct 53. On the other hand, it avoids the problem of the drying airflow leaking from the connection between the connecting end 51 and the air inlet 311, which would weaken the effect of the drying airflow. The air supply end 52 extends away from the air inlet 311. An air supply duct 53 is formed between the connecting end 51 and the air supply end 52, and the drying airflow in the air supply duct 53 can be discharged through the air supply end 52.
[0115] The connecting end 51 can be controlled to rotate, causing the air supply end 52 to swing up and down, thereby adjusting the air supply direction of the air supply end 52.
[0116] To address the issue of complex component structures required to drive the air supply component 5, this embodiment proposes that the air supply assembly further includes a first magnetic component 61 and a second magnetic component 62, wherein one of the first magnetic component 61 and the second magnetic component 62 is a permanent magnet and the other is an electromagnet; the first magnetic component 61 is disposed on the wall of the inner barrel 1 and close to the air supply component 5; the second magnetic component 62 is disposed on the air supply component 5.
[0117] The electromagnet is controlled to be energized, which generates a magnetic force between the first magnetic element 61 and the second magnetic element 62, thereby causing the connecting end 51 to rotate.
[0118] Preferably, the air supply assembly further includes an iron core 54, which is disposed on the air supply component 5; the first magnetic component 61 is a permanent magnet, which is located above the air supply component 5; the second magnetic component 62 is a coil, which is wound around the iron core 54.
[0119] When the current flowing through the coil is different, the connection end 51 can be rotated to different angles; or, when the coil is controlled to be energized and de-energized at intervals, the air supply end 52 can be oscillated up and down.
[0120] To address the issue that the air supply component 5 cannot be fixed at any angle, this embodiment proposes that the air supply assembly also includes a damping component, which is disposed between the rotating shaft and the air inlet 311.
[0121] When the electromagnet is energized, the air supply component 5 can be fixed at any angle under the action of gravity, magnetic force and damping.
[0122] Furthermore, the air supply assembly also includes a filter 63, which is detachably disposed at the air supply end 52 and can filter the drying airflow flowing through the air supply end 52.
[0123] Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure have been specifically shown and described above. It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the detailed structures, arrangements, or implementations described herein; rather, this disclosure is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements contained within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
