[0029] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments.

[0030] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different configurations of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and configurations of specific examples are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or configurations discussed.

[0031] The present application provides a clothing care method, which is applied to a washing machine and is used to remove wrinkles from clothing. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0032] Step 101: When the washing machine is in the dehumidification stage in the care and drying stage, open an air duct to dehumidify the clothes through the air outlet of the air duct.

[0033] Among them, the care and drying stage is located after the steam ironing stage, and the care and drying stage is used to remove wrinkles from clothes.

[0034] The laundry process is as follows: wet clothes drying phase - steam ironing phase - drying and care phase. The wet clothes drying phase is considered the drying process, while the steam ironing phase and the drying and care phase are considered the care phase. Generally speaking, multiple pieces of clothing can be washed during the drying process, while only one piece of clothing can be washed during the care phase.

[0035] The wet clothes drying stage refers to the drying of clothes in the inner drum after washing. The clothes after drying usually have larger wrinkles and require subsequent wrinkle removal.

[0036] During the steam ironing phase, the water in the steam water box is heated, generating steam that enters the drum. The steam penetrates the clothes, removing odors and wrinkles. The steam also removes bacteria, dust, mites, and bacteria. During this phase, the steam time and air volume of the air outlet vary depending on the type of clothing.

[0037] The drying process is divided into two stages: dehumidification and wrinkle removal. During the dehumidification stage, a fan and heat source are used to create high-temperature, low-humidity air, which is blown into the inner drum, raising the temperature of the clothes and evaporating moisture from them. This evaporated moisture is then expelled from the machine. During the wrinkle removal stage, the fan's continuous airflow causes the clothes to be tossed around by the lifting ribs, which, in conjunction with the drying temperature, smooth out wrinkles and restore them to a flat state.

[0038] When the washing machine detects that it is currently in the dehumidification stage of the care and drying stage, it opens an air duct and sends the exhaust air into the inner drum through the air duct, thereby dehumidifying the clothes.

[0039] Step 102: After detecting that the humidity of the clothes reaches a first humidity threshold, enter the wrinkle removal stage in the care and drying stage.

[0040] During the wrinkle removal stage, the clothes are in a scattered state in the inner drum.

[0041] When the washing machine detects that the humidity of the clothes reaches the first humidity threshold, it indicates that the dehumidification stage in the care and drying stage is over and the wrinkle removal stage in the care and drying stage can be entered. In the wrinkle removal stage, the clothes are lifted up by the lifting ribs in the inner drum and thrown.

[0042] Throwing is to allow the clothes to be driven by the lifting ribs from the bottom of the drum to the range of 120° to 180°. Generally, the clothes will not roll together in the range of 0° to 90°, but the clothes are easy to roll together in the range of 90° to 180°. Since in the existing technology, only a fixed amount of air is blown when the clothes are thrown, the clothes are easily entangled and wrinkled during the throwing movement, resulting in poor wrinkle removal effect.

[0043] Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the operating state of clothes being thrown. The clothes are lifted and thrown by the lifting rib 4. 2 is the position where the load is driven during the rotation of the drum, which is in the range of 0° to 90°. 3 is the position where the load is thrown, which is in the range of 90° to 180°. 5 is the air outlet position, through which air can be discharged. 1 is the display panel of the washing machine, on which you can select the clothing material, washing type, etc.

[0044] Step 103: During the wrinkle removal stage, multiple air ducts are opened to enable the clothes to be scattered in a preset state through the air outlet of the multiple air ducts.

[0045] Among them, the preset throwing state means that the clothes can be stretched as much as possible to reduce wrinkles on the clothes.

[0046] The embodiment of the present application is based on the existing technology that includes one air duct. After the air duct filter is dried, at least one air duct is reintroduced into the inner cylinder, thus forming multiple air ducts. The air outlet directions of the multiple air ducts can be the same or different, and the inner diameters of the multiple air ducts can be the same or different. The inner diameter of the air duct will affect the wind speed and air volume.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the washing machine opens multiple air ducts during the wrinkle removal stage. Compared with the air outlet of one air duct, the present application increases the air volume, which can better adjust the throwing height and throwing speed of the clothes, so that the clothes will form a hollow throwing state in the center of the inner drum, ensuring that the clothes can be stretched as much as possible, reducing wrinkles on the clothes, and improving the wrinkle removal effect of the clothes.

[0048] During the wrinkle removal phase, the airflow from multiple air ducts can be based on the current state of the clothes being thrown, the clothes' material, the clothes' weight, and the clothes' current humidity. These factors all affect the throwing trajectory. Therefore, this application comprehensively considers the clothes' material, clothes' weight, the clothes' current humidity, and the current state of throwing to improve the accuracy of the air volume, thereby forming a more optimal throwing trajectory and enhancing the wrinkle removal effect.

[0049] As an optional embodiment, the washing machine includes two air ducts. When the washing machine is in the dehumidification stage of the care and drying stage, opening one air duct includes: when the washing machine is in the dehumidification stage of the care and drying stage, opening the first air duct and closing the second air duct, wherein the inner diameter of the first air duct is larger than the inner diameter of the second air duct.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the washing machine includes two air ducts. Figure 3The diagram below shows the structure of two air ducts. The inner diameter of the first duct is larger than that of the second duct, so the air volume of the first duct is greater than that of the second duct. During the dehumidification phase, the first duct is opened and the second duct is closed. The purpose is to use the larger air volume duct to fully absorb heat from the clothes in the drum, achieve a higher dehumidification state, accelerate the drying efficiency of the load in the drum, and quickly heat it up to achieve a better dehumidification state.

[0051] As an optional embodiment, the dehumidification stage in the care and drying stage of the washing machine includes: when the washing machine is in the steam ironing stage, opening an air duct to steam wet the clothes; after detecting that the humidity of the clothes reaches a second humidity threshold, entering the dehumidification stage in the care and drying stage, wherein the second humidity threshold is greater than the first humidity threshold.

[0052] When the washing machine is in the steam ironing stage, an air duct is opened to steam wet the clothes. When the clothes absorb water and reach the second humidity threshold, they enter the dehumidification stage in the care and drying stage. Since the second humidity threshold is the humidity threshold after the clothes absorb steam, and the first humidity threshold is the humidity threshold after the clothes absorb steam and are dehumidified, the second humidity threshold is greater than the first humidity threshold.

[0053] Preferably, when the washing machine is in the steam ironing stage, the second air duct is opened and the first air duct is closed. The air duct with a smaller air volume is used to reduce the loss of steam heat in the air duct, and the amount of steam reaching the drum is relatively large, which can maximize the rate of temperature rise in the drum.

[0054] Table 1 shows the air duct opening status at each stage of the nursing process.

[0055]

[0056] Table 1

[0057] The inner diameter of air duct 1 is larger than that of air duct 2.

[0058] As shown in Table 1, during the steam ironing phase, opening the smaller duct 2 reduces steam heat loss within the duct. During the dehumidification phase, opening the larger duct 1 increases the air volume, allowing the clothes in the drum to fully absorb heat and achieve a high level of dehumidification. During the wrinkle removal phase, opening both ducts further increases the air volume, creating a hollow center in the drum for the clothes to be spread out, ensuring they are stretched as much as possible and reducing wrinkles.

[0059] As an optional embodiment, before the washing machine is in the steam ironing stage, the method also includes: when the washing machine is in the first drying stage of the wet clothes drying stage, opening an air duct, wherein the first drying stage is used to increase the temperature of the inner drum; after the running time of the first drying stage reaches a set time, entering the second drying stage, and opening two air ducts in the second drying stage, wherein the second drying stage is used to dehumidify the clothes after washing; after the running time of the second drying stage reaches a preset time, entering the third drying stage, and in the third drying stage, controlling the opening and stopping states of the two air ducts according to the material of the clothes.

[0060] The wet clothes drying phase consists of the first, second, and third drying phases. During the first drying phase, an air duct is opened to raise the temperature of the inner drum. Preferably, since the humidity of the clothes is high after washing, the first air duct with a larger inner diameter is opened to increase the air flow, allowing the inner drum to reach the dehumidification temperature as quickly as possible and increasing the rate of heating.

[0061] The second drying stage is to dehumidify the clothes after washing. Since the clothes are still very wet after washing, two air ducts are opened to increase the air volume and reduce the humidity of the clothes to a certain level as quickly as possible.

[0062] In the third drying stage, the clothes are thrown by the lifting ribs. At this time, the opening and closing states of the two air ducts are adjusted according to the material of the clothes to achieve the set throwing state. Preferably, the current throwing state and the current humidity of the clothes can be added based on the clothing material. These three factors are combined to adjust the opening and closing states of the two air ducts, thereby improving the superiority of the clothing throwing trajectory and reducing clothing wrinkles.

[0063] In the third drying stage, the first air duct can be controlled to remain in an open state, and the opening and closing states of the second air duct can be controlled, wherein the opening and closing states include continuous opening, continuous closing or intermittent opening.

[0064] Table 2 shows the air duct opening status at each stage of the drying process.

[0065]

[0066] Table 2

[0067] As shown in Table 2, in the first drying stage, duct 1 (with a larger inner diameter) is opened to quickly reach the dehumidification temperature inside the drum and increase the inner drum temperature rise rate. In the second drying stage, ducts 1 and 2 are opened to increase the air volume and quickly reduce the humidity of the clothes to a certain level. In the third drying stage, duct 1 remains open, while duct 2's on / off status is controlled. The on / off status of duct 2 is related to the material of the clothes.
