[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a speed adjustment module, which is electrically connected to the processor and is used to control the rotation speed of the drying drum to adjust in an increasing trend according to instructions issued by the processor.

[0036] The present invention provides a washer-dryer, comprising an outer drum and an inner drum, the inner drum serving as a drying drum, and the washer-dryer control system as described above, the drying drum comprising a drum body, a heating structure arranged on the drum body for heating the drum body, and at least one temperature sensor arranged on the wall of the drum body for detecting the temperature of the drum body in real time.

[0038] During the initial operation of the drying drum, the temperature value fed back by the temperature sensor on the drying drum will cool down. During this cooling stage, the humidity of the dried objects (such as wet clothes) is relatively high, and a higher initial power is required to power the heating structure to improve drying efficiency.

[0039] After the cooling stage, the drying drum will have a heating stage. During this heating stage, the moisture content of the drying object (such as wet clothes) gradually decreases.

After the drying drum reaches a constant temperature after the heating phase, the dried items (e.g., wet clothes) are dried, and the heating structure is controlled to supply power at the end of the second preset time before stopping. Because the dried items (e.g., wet clothes) are dried in contact with the wall of the drying drum, the drying efficiency is higher than that of hot air drying, and the drying time is shorter. Adjusting the power supplied to the heating structure based on the dryness of the dried items (e.g., wet clothes) at each stage achieves both rapid drying and energy conservation.

[0047] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a drying control method, including:

[0049] S101, supplying power to a heating structure for heating the wall of the drying drum according to the initial power;

[0050] S102, collecting a temperature value of at least one temperature sensor on the drying drum in real time, wherein the temperature sensor is used to detect the wall temperature of the drying drum;

[0051] S103: Analyze and judge the temperature value collected in real time, or analyze and judge the temperature value collected in real time within each first preset time interval after processing:

[0052] If it is determined that the drying drum is in the cooling stage according to the temperature value collected in real time or the value obtained after processing, the control continues to supply power to the heating structure according to the initial power;

[0053] If it is determined that the drying drum is in a heating stage according to the temperature value collected in real time or the value obtained after processing, the power value corresponding to the temperature value collected in real time or the value obtained after processing is determined by comparing the corresponding relationship between the preset temperature value or the preset value obtained after processing and the power value, and the heating structure is controlled to be powered according to the power value, and the power value is set to a decreasing trend in the heating stage;

[0054] If the drying drum is judged to have entered a constant temperature state according to the real-time collected temperature value or the processed temperature value, the heating structure is controlled to stop being supplied with power after the second preset time or the power supply to the heating structure is directly controlled to stop being supplied with power.

[0055] By executing S101, when the drying drum is started, the heating structure for heating the wall of the drying drum is controlled to be supplied with power according to the initial power, so that the drying drum is heated up quickly.

[0056] Since there is a certain relationship between the humidity of the dried object (such as wet clothes) and the temperature of the drying drum, by executing S102, the temperature of a fixed location or several locations on the drying drum is monitored in real time as data for real-time analysis of the drying condition of the dried object (such as wet clothes) in the drying drum, so as to control the drying power and duration according to the drying condition.

[0057] However, since the objects being dried (e.g., wet clothes) are relatively cool when placed in the drying drum, when they come into contact with the heated drum wall during rotation, the cooler objects (e.g., wet clothes) remove heat from the contact area, causing the temperature of that area to drop. Therefore, during the initial stages of the drying operation, the temperature value reported by the temperature sensor on the drying drum will experience a cooling phase. This means that when this cooling phase is detected, the humidity of the objects (e.g., wet clothes) is relatively high, requiring a higher initial power supply to the heating structure to improve drying efficiency.

[0058] As the drying time goes by, the moisture on the objects to be dried (such as wet clothes) becomes less and less, and the heat taken away from the drum wall also becomes less and less. Therefore, the drying drum will have a heating stage after the cooling stage. As the moisture on the objects to be dried (such as wet clothes) becomes less and less, the temperature of the drum wall becomes higher and higher, and there is no need to power the heating structure with a large initial power. Therefore, in this heating stage, the power can be adjusted accordingly according to the heating situation, so as to achieve the effect of quickly drying clothes while saving energy.

[0059] At the end of the drying process, the moisture on the objects (e.g., wet clothes) is completely dried, and the objects (e.g., wet clothes) no longer remove heat from the drum wall. Therefore, after the heating stage, the drying drum reaches a constant temperature. At this point, the objects (e.g., wet clothes) are dried, and the heating structure is controlled to supply power at the end of the second preset time period before stopping. By executing S103, real-time temperatures collected from several fixed locations on the drying drum are analyzed and determined, or real-time temperatures collected from a fixed location on the drying drum are processed and analyzed, to determine the current stage of the drying drum and adjust the power supplied to the heating structure accordingly. Because the objects (e.g., wet clothes) are dried in contact with the drum wall, the drying efficiency is higher than that of hot air drying, and the drying time is shorter. Adjusting the power supplied to the heating structure based on the dryness of the clothes at each stage allows for faster drying while achieving energy savings.

[0060] The following describes an example of collecting temperature values from at least two temperature sensors on a drying drum in real time and analyzing and judging the collected temperature values in real time.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the temperature values of at least two temperature sensors on the drying drum are collected in real time, and the real-time collected temperature values are analyzed and judged.

[0062] At least two places means that the temperature sensors at two places on the drying drum can be set to collect the temperature values in real time, or the temperature sensors at three places, four places, five places or more can be set to collect the temperature values in real time. However, as a preferred method, real-time collection of the temperature values of the temperature sensors set at three places on the drying drum is the best and the detection is more accurate, and it is further preferred that the temperature sensors at these three places are evenly distributed on the drying drum.

[0063] S201: If at least one of the temperature values fed back by all temperature sensors collected in real time is within a first preset threshold range, control to continue to supply power to the heating structure at the initial power.

[0064] S202. If the temperature values fed back by all temperature sensors collected in real time are all higher than the highest value of the first preset threshold range, it is determined that the drying drum is in the heating stage, then the power value corresponding to the average temperature value collected in real time by all temperature sensors is determined by comparing the corresponding relationship between the preset temperature value and the power value, and the heating structure is controlled to be powered according to the power value, and in the heating stage, the power value shows a decreasing trend.

[0065] S203: If the temperature values fed back by all temperature sensors collected in real time remain unchanged, it is determined that the drying drum has entered a constant temperature state, and the heating structure is controlled to stop supplying power after a second preset time or the heating structure is directly controlled to stop supplying power.

[0066] In S201, the first preset threshold range can be designed based on experimental data, such as being set within the range of 58°C to 62°C. Since the heating structure is supplied with power according to the initial power when the drying drum is turned on, the initial power is generally set to full power, that is, the maximum power, such as 1700W. Therefore, the wall temperature of the drying drum is relatively high. When the dried object (such as wet clothes) contacts the part of the drying drum where the temperature sensor is provided, heat is taken away, thereby causing the data detected by the temperature sensor at that part to decrease. Therefore, as long as there is a temperature value within the first preset threshold range, it proves that the drying drum is in the cooling stage, the humidity of the dried object (such as wet clothes) is relatively high, and it is necessary to continue to supply power according to the initial power.

[0067] In S202, if the temperature values collected in real time by all temperature sensors are all above the highest value within the first preset threshold range, this indicates that the moisture content of the object being dried (e.g., wet clothing) is decreasing, and the amount of heat removed from the drum wall is decreasing, thereby determining that the drying drum is in the heating phase. As the moisture content of the object being dried (e.g., wet clothing) decreases, the initial power supply is no longer required. Instead, a power value corresponding to the average value of the temperatures collected in real time by all temperature sensors can be determined by comparing a preset correspondence between temperature values and power values, and power supply to the heating structure can be controlled according to this power value. The preset correspondence between temperature values and power values can be set based on experimental data. For example, when the average temperature value is approximately 70°C, the power value is 1500W; when the average temperature value is 75°C, the power value is 1300W, and so on.

[0068] In S203, if the temperature values fed back by all temperature sensors collected in real time remain unchanged, it proves that the moisture on the dried object (such as wet clothes) has been dried, and it is judged that the drying drum has entered a constant temperature state. At this time, the heating structure can be controlled to stop supplying power after the second preset time or the heating structure can be controlled to stop supplying power.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the following takes the real-time collection of the temperature value of a temperature sensor on a drying drum, and the analysis and judgment of the real-time collected temperature value after processing every first preset time as an example for introduction.

[0070] S301. Collect the temperature value of a temperature sensor on the drying drum in real time. Select a predetermined number of maximum temperature values from the temperature values collected in real time within each first preset time interval, and calculate the average value t1 of the maximum temperature values. Select a predetermined number of minimum temperature values, and calculate the average value t2 of the minimum temperature values. The temperature difference value △t=t1-t2 is analyzed and judged.

[0071] S302: If the temperature difference Δt is within a second preset threshold range, it is determined that the temperature of the drying drum is continuously low, and the drying drum is controlled to continue drying at the initial power.

[0072] S303. If the temperature difference Δt is less than the lowest temperature value within the second preset threshold range, the power value corresponding to the temperature difference Δt is determined by comparing the preset correspondence between the temperature difference and the power value, and the heating structure is controlled to be powered according to the power value. In the heating stage, the power value is set to a decreasing trend.

[0073] S304: If the temperature difference Δt≈0 and is maintained for the third preset time, it is determined that the drying drum enters a constant temperature state, then the heating structure is controlled to stop supplying power after the second preset time or the heating structure is directly controlled to stop supplying power.

[0074] In S301, since the object to be dried (such as wet clothes) does not always maintain contact with the portion of the wall of the drying drum where the temperature sensor is provided during the rotation of the drying drum, the temperature value detected when the object to be dried (such as wet clothes) contacts this portion is low, and the temperature value detected when the object to be dried (such as wet clothes) does not contact the wall is high. Therefore, within each first preset time interval, the temperature difference Δt between the average value t1 of a predetermined number of maximum temperature values and the average value t2 of a predetermined number of minimum temperature values can be used to determine the stage of the drying drum. The first preset time interval can be set based on experimental data, such as every 0.5 minute.

[0075] In S302 , the second preset threshold range can be set according to experimental data, such as 38° C. to 42° C. When drying begins, the humidity of the dried object (such as wet clothes) is relatively high, so the temperature difference Δt will be relatively large.

[0076] In S303, if the temperature difference Δt is less than the lowest temperature value within the second preset threshold range, it proves that the temperature of the drying drum increases and the temperature difference Δt becomes smaller. The corresponding relationship between the preset temperature difference and the power value can also be set according to experimental data.

[0077] In step S304, if the temperature difference Δt ≈ 0, it indicates that the moisture in the object being dried (e.g., wet clothes) has been completely dried, and the temperature on the wall of the drying drum no longer changes, indicating that the temperature has entered a constant state. At this point, the power supply can be continued for the second preset time or stopped immediately.

[0078] Whether one or multiple temperature sensors are installed on the drying drum, it is preferred that the drying drum speed be adjusted accordingly with each power adjustment, and that the speed be adjusted in an increasing manner. This allows the drying drum to slow down when the objects (e.g., wet clothes) are initially damp, ensuring sufficient contact between the objects (e.g., wet clothes) and the walls of the drying drum to remove moisture. As drying time progresses, the moisture content of the objects (e.g., wet clothes) decreases, and the drying drum speeds up, ensuring that the objects (e.g., wet clothes) are heated and dried as evenly as possible.

[0079] At the same time, it is preferred that the initial power is full power, and the end power is minimum power. The initial power, the correspondence between the preset temperature value or the value obtained after the preset processing and the power value, and the end power can be set according to actual needs. For example, multiple drying modes can be set according to the material of the clothes to be dried. Different drying modes correspond to different initial powers, the correspondence between the preset temperature value or the value obtained after the preset processing and the power value, and the end power.

[0080] Furthermore, there can be multiple heating structures, such as a heating wire wrapped around the drying drum. In this embodiment, the preferred heating structure is a heating film. The heating film as the heating structure of the drying drum is not only safe and easy to set up, but also heats quickly, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0081] like Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a drying control system 400, including a power adjustment module 404, a processor 401, a memory 402, a bus 403 for connecting the processor 401 and the memory 402, and a computer program stored in the memory 402 and executable on the processor 401. The power adjustment module 404 is electrically connected to the processor 401, and is used to control the power adjustment of the drying drum according to instructions issued by the processor 401. When the computer program is executed by the processor 401, the drying control method as described above is implemented.

[0084] According to the purpose of the dryer, the dryer may be a clothes dryer. According to the object to be dried, the corresponding initial power, the preset temperature value or the corresponding relationship between the preset processed value and the power value, and the end power can be set.

[0085] An embodiment of the present invention provides a washing and drying integrated control system, including a power adjustment module, a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and runnable on the processor, wherein the computer program includes a drying control program, and the power adjustment module is electrically connected to the processor for controlling the power adjustment of the drying drum according to instructions issued by the processor. When the drying control program is executed by the processor, the drying control method described above is implemented.

[0086] For a washing and drying integrated control system, the computer program may include a washing program, a dehydration program, a drying control program, etc., wherein the drying control program may be executed alone or after the dehydration program, so as to be selected and executed according to the needs of the user.

[0087] The integrated washer-dryer control system further includes a speed adjustment module, which is electrically connected to the processor and is used to control the rotation speed of the drying drum to adjust in an increasing trend according to instructions issued by the processor.
