DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different structures of the present application. For the purpose of simplicity, the elements and settings of particular examples in the following description are shown in great detail. Of course, they are merely examples and are presented to illustrate the application. The purpose is not to limit the application. In addition, reference numerals and / or letters can be repeated in different examples in the present application. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity, and does not indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings being discussed.

[0035] The present application provides a method for adjusting the direction of the air outlet, which is applied to a washing machine, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0036] Step 101: When it is detected that the washing machine is in the drying care stage, the weight of the clothes in the washing machine is obtained.

[0037] After the wet clothes are dried in the washing machine, the steam ironing stage is entered, in which the water in the steam water box is heated to generate steam into the inner drum, the steam penetrates into the clothes, and plays a role of deodorizing and de-wrinkling. The steam is also used for degerming, dust removal, mite removal, and bacteria removal. In this stage, different steam times are taken for different types of clothes and different care requirements, so that different amounts of steam are required in the steam box each time.

[0038] After the steam ironing, the drying care stage is entered, in which high-temperature and low-humidity air is made by the air supply fan and the heat source, and the air is blown into the inner drum to increase the temperature of the clothes, so that the moisture on the clothes is evaporated and discharged out of the machine body. At the same time, in this stage, the clothes are smoothed and restored to a flat state by the continuous blowing of the fan and the corresponding drying temperature.

[0039] The embodiments of the present application are applied in the drying care stage. After the clothes are evenly wetted by the steam, the washing machine obtains the weight of the clothes through the weight sensor. Generally, in the drying care stage, there are only one or two clothes in the inner drum.

[0040] Step 102: According to the weight of the clothes, the position of the movable baffle at the air outlet in the washing machine is adjusted, so that the air outlet forms a wind direction corresponding to the weight of the clothes.

[0041] A baffle device is arranged at the air outlet of the washing machine, which includes a baffle motor and a movable baffle. The baffle motor can adjust the position of the movable baffle after being started. The weight of the clothes is different, and the position of the movable baffle is also different. The movable baffle blocks part of the air outlet, so that the air direction at the air outlet is also different. Specifically, the movable baffle is used to block the lower half of the air outlet to form an upper air outlet, or block the upper half of the air outlet to form a lower air outlet.

[0042] Figure 2 The figure is a schematic diagram of the air duct structure. As can be seen from the figure, water is blown into the inner drum through the steam nozzle 9 after passing through the evaporator 3 and the condenser 4 to uniformly wet the clothes. The air enters from the air inlet 1, is filtered through the air inlet filter screen 2, then passes through the air duct 6, and is blown into the inner drum after passing through the air outlet 5.

[0043] In this application, the position of the movable baffle can be adjusted according to the weight of the clothes, so as to block part of the air outlet, and the air outlet forms air in different directions. The air direction corresponds to the weight of the clothes, so that clothes of different weights can be nursed with air in different directions to reduce wrinkles and improve the nursing effect of the clothes.

[0044] The method for adjusting the position of the movable baffle at the air outlet of the washing machine according to the weight of the clothes to make the air outlet form the wind direction corresponding to the weight of the clothes includes two embodiments.

[0045] In one embodiment, if the weight of the clothes is less than a preset weight threshold, the position of the movable baffle at the air outlet of the washing machine is adjusted by the baffle motor to control the movable baffle to block the lower half of the air outlet, and an upper air outlet is formed at the air outlet.

[0046] During the nursing process, for light and thin clothes such as silk pajamas and shirt clothes whose weight is less than the preset weight threshold, the movable baffle blocks the lower part of the air outlet after moving, and an upper air outlet is formed at the upper part of the air outlet. After the light and thin clothes are lifted by the lifting ribs, they can be blown open by the wind blown out of the upper air outlet, and fully unfolded in the large volume above the drum, forming a left-right pulling force on the surface of the clothes, which is used to flatten the wrinkles of the clothes. Exemplarily, the preset weight threshold is set according to the area of the inner drum, for example, the clothes weight / m2≤110g / m2.

[0047] In another embodiment, if the weight of the clothes is greater than or equal to the preset weight threshold, the position of the movable baffle at the air outlet of the washing machine is adjusted to control the movable baffle to block the upper half of the air outlet, and a lower air outlet is formed at the air outlet.

[0048] For heavy clothes whose weight is greater than or equal to a preset weight threshold, such as cotton and linen coats, and jackets, the movable baffle moves to block the upper part of the air outlet, and the lower air outlet is formed at the lower part of the air outlet, so that the air of the air outlet blows towards the bottom of the inner cylinder. Due to the blowing of the air from the bottom of the cylinder to the falling clothes, the lower air outlet can make the falling clothes in a suspended state, thereby reducing the wrinkles of the clothes caused by the extrusion of the side wall during the rolling process.

[0049] Figure 3 For the schematic diagram of the air outlet structure, it can be seen that the air outlet 5 includes an upper air outlet 51 and a lower air outlet 52. When the upper air outlet 51 is blocked, air can only be blown out from the lower air outlet 52; when the lower air outlet 52 is blocked, air can only be blown out from the upper air outlet 51.

[0050] Figure 4 For the structural schematic diagram of the baffle device, it can be seen that the baffle device further includes a first baffle 511 and a second baffle 521.

[0051] One end of the first baffle is arranged on the upper inner wall of the air outlet, the other end of the first baffle is arranged above the middle position of the air outlet in the vertical direction, and the first baffle forms a preset angle with the vertical direction along the plate surface direction. When the upper air outlet blows air, the first baffle is in an inclined state, the air blows obliquely upwards along the upper air outlet, increases the height of the upper air outlet, and ensures that the thin clothes can also be blown when the lifting ribs are lifted to the highest point. Exemplarily, the preset angle is 45°.

[0052] Figure 5 For the schematic diagram of the air blowing out from the upper air outlet, it can be seen that the air blows obliquely upwards due to the blocking of the first baffle.

[0053] One end of the second baffle is arranged on the lower inner wall of the air outlet, the other end of the first baffle is fixed below the middle position of the air outlet in the vertical direction, and the second baffle forms a preset angle with the vertical direction along the plate surface direction. When the lower air outlet blows air, the first baffle is in an inclined state, the air blows obliquely downwards along the lower air outlet, reduces the height of the lower air outlet, and prolongs the falling time of the heavy clothes.

[0054] Figure 6 For the schematic diagram of the air blowing out from the lower air outlet, it can be seen that the air blows obliquely downwards due to the blocking of the second baffle.

[0055] Optionally, the movable baffle 8 can realize the upper air blowing or the lower air blowing in the manner of moving up and down, or in the manner of rotating, or in other setting manners, as long as the upper half of the air outlet or the lower half of the air outlet can be blocked, the upper air blowing or the lower air blowing in the present application can be realized. The position adjustment of the movable baffle 8 is realized by the control of the baffle motor 7, and the baffle motor is also located in the air outlet.

[0056] If the movable baffle achieves upward or downward airflow by moving up and down, such as Figure 4 As shown, the baffle device also includes a slide rail 11 and a sliding groove, wherein the sliding groove is not shown in the figure. The slide rail is vertically fixed to the upper and lower inner walls of the air outlet of the washing machine. The sliding groove is fixed to one side of the movable baffle and can slide with the slide rail. When the movable baffle moves downward along the slide rail to the lower half of the air outlet, it forms an upper air outlet; when the movable baffle moves upward along the slide rail to the upper half of the air outlet, it forms a lower air outlet. Specifically, the area of ​​the movable baffle occupies half of the air outlet area.

[0057] Preferably, the chute is fixed at the middle position on one side of the movable baffle, which can enhance the stability of the movable baffle.

[0058] If the movable baffle achieves upward or downward airflow through rotation, then the baffle device also includes a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is horizontally fixed to the left and right inner walls of the air outlet. One end of the movable baffle is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft, and the other end of the movable baffle rotates around the rotating shaft and can stop at any position. The movable baffle is used to block the upper half of the air outlet when rotating upward along the rotating shaft, forming a downward air outlet, or to block the lower half of the air outlet when rotating downward along the rotating shaft, forming an upward air outlet.

[0059] Preferably, the baffle device further includes an intermediate baffle 10, the surface of which is parallel to the air outlet direction, and the intermediate baffle is fixed at the middle position of the air outlet in the vertical direction. Thus, when air is discharged upwards or downwards, the intermediate baffle prevents some airflow from bypassing the movable baffle and blowing out from the lower air outlet during upward air discharge, thereby reducing the airflow from the upper air outlet; similarly, it prevents some airflow from bypassing the movable baffle and blowing out from the upper air outlet during downward air discharge, thereby reducing the airflow from the lower air outlet. This application, by setting an intermediate baffle, ensures sufficient airflow during both upward and downward air discharge and prevents some airflow from dissipating from other air outlets.

[0060] Specifically, the intermediate baffle can be fixed on the slide rail or the rotating shaft.

[0061] This invention modifies the air outlet structure by adding air duct guide plates (first baffle, second baffle, and middle baffle) and independent upper and lower air inlets. A baffle motor controls the movable baffles to block corresponding air outlets. The airflow direction is controlled according to the weight of the garments. Downward airflow lifts heavy garments being dried, with some air entering between them to reduce compression during drum rotation. Upward airflow allows lighter garments to unfold at the top of the drum after being lifted, and the upward airflow flowing along the garment surface creates a lateral pulling force to smooth out wrinkles. This invention protects garments from damage during drying and completes the drying process quickly, improving the user experience.

[0062] Based on the same technical concept, the application further provides a device for adjusting the air outlet direction, as shown in Figure 7 The device comprises:

[0063] The acquisition module 701 is configured to acquire the weight of the clothes in the washing machine when it is detected that the washing machine is in the drying care stage.

[0064] The adjustment module 702 is configured to adjust the position of the movable baffle at the air outlet in the washing machine according to the weight of the clothes, so that the air outlet forms the air direction corresponding to the clothes of the weight.

[0065] Optionally, the adjustment module 702 is configured to adjust the position of the movable baffle at the air outlet in the washing machine so that the air outlet forms the upper air outlet if the weight of the clothes is less than a preset weight threshold.
