Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing device technology, and more particularly to a clothing processing device and a control method for the clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional clothes drying devices work by heating air in a heater inside the rear air duct before it enters the drum and comes into contact with the clothes to form humid air. This humid air then enters the condenser duct, where it combines with condensate to form dry air. The dry air is then heated again before entering the drum, and this cycle continues until the clothes are dried. When higher condensation requirements are needed, a condenser structure can be installed on the outer drum, allowing condensate to flow along the structure and condense the air.

[0003] However, in order to balance air pressure, the outer drum usually needs to be equipped with a vent. When the humidity of the clothes is high, even if the outer drum condensation and the rear air duct condensation are carried out simultaneously to condense the hot and humid air, some air with high temperature and humidity will still be discharged from the vent. The high temperature and high humidity gas discharged from the vent may come into contact with the cold outside air to form a large amount of water vapor, which will affect the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application is based on the inventor's discovery and understanding of the following problems and facts: when the clothing processing device is in the drying operation, gas with excessively high temperature and humidity will be discharged from the vent, generating a large amount of steam, which seriously affects the customer's user experience.

[0005] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, a garment handling apparatus is provided, comprising:

[0007] A garment processing drum includes an outer drum and an inner drum pivotally disposed within the outer drum. An internal air duct is formed between the outer drum and the inner drum for circulating drying air.

[0008] A water inlet pipe, which is used to be switchably connected to a water source;

[0009] An exhaust pipe, the exhaust pipe being used to communicate with the outside atmosphere; and

[0010] A vent pipe, the bottom end of which is connected to the air duct inside the cylinder and located in the top area of ​​the outer cylinder, and the top end of which is connected to the water inlet pipe and the exhaust pipe respectively.

[0011] In some embodiments, the diameter of the vent pipe is smaller than that of the exhaust pipe.

[0012] In some embodiments, the top of the vent pipe is lower than the outlet of the exhaust pipe.

[0013] In some embodiments, a detergent dispenser is located above the outer cylinder;

[0014] The end of the water inlet pipe that is away from the vent pipe is connected to the water inlet of the detergent box.

[0015] In some embodiments, the outer cylinder is provided with a condensation structure, the condensation structure including a condensate inlet, and the connection between the water inlet pipe and the outer cylinder is directly opposite the condensate inlet, so that the liquid in the vent pipe can flow to the condensation structure through the condensate inlet.

[0016] In some embodiments, the control module; and

[0017] A control valve is provided on the inlet pipe, and the control valve is used to open or close the inlet pipe;

[0018] The control module controls the control valve to open or close the water inlet pipe based on the condensation demand parameters of the gas in the vent pipe.

[0019] The parameters required for gas condensation include the gas temperature and / or the gas humidity.

[0020] In some embodiments, a humidity sensor is disposed on the vent pipe, and the humidity sensor is used to detect the humidity of the gas in the vent pipe; and

[0021] A temperature sensor is disposed on the vent pipe and is used to detect the temperature of the gas in the vent pipe.

[0022] The control module controls the control valve to open or close the water inlet pipe according to the condensation requirement of the gas in the vent pipe, including:

[0023] The water inlet pipe is opened or closed according to the temperature and humidity of the gas in the vent pipe.

[0024] In some embodiments, opening or closing the water inlet pipe based on the temperature and humidity of the gas in the vent pipe includes:

[0025] If the temperature and humidity of the gas in the vent pipe are both lower than the preset values, then the water inlet pipe is closed.

[0026] If either the temperature or humidity of the gas in the vent pipe is equal to or higher than the preset value, then the water inlet pipe is opened.

[0027] According to an embodiment of a second aspect of the present invention, a control method for a garment handling device is provided, comprising: a water inlet pipe and an exhaust pipe respectively connected to one end of a vent pipe away from the outer cylinder, the control method comprising:

[0028] If the gas in the vent pipe does not meet the emission standards, the gas in the vent pipe will be condensed.

[0029] In some embodiments, if the gas in the vent pipe does not meet the emission standards, it includes:

[0030] The temperature and humidity of the gas in the vent pipe are obtained. If either the temperature or humidity reaches a preset value, the gas in the vent pipe does not meet the emission standard.

[0031] In some embodiments, obtaining the temperature and humidity of the gas in the vent pipe includes:

[0033] In some embodiments, condensing the gas in the vent pipe includes:

[0035] According to the clothing treatment device of the present invention, the top of the vent pipe is connected to the water inlet pipe and the exhaust pipe respectively. When the temperature or humidity of the gas in the vent pipe is high, condensate can be injected into the vent pipe through the water inlet pipe, so that the gas in the vent pipe can be condensed by the condensate while being discharged through the exhaust pipe. This controls the temperature and humidity of the gas discharged from the vent pipe, and prevents the gas with high temperature and high humidity from being discharged directly from the vent pipe, forming a large amount of water vapor, which would affect the customer's user experience.

[0036] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0048] Clothes handling devices can be dryers or washing machines with drying functions. With the improvement of people's living standards, clothes handling devices have long become one of the essential household appliances in daily life. Existing clothes handling devices have two types of condensation systems. One type connects the condensation duct to the inner drum, so that the humid and hot air in the inner drum combines with the condensate in the condensation duct to form dry air. The other type sets up a condensation structure in the outer drum. The condensation structure consists of one or more guide ribs. After the humid and hot air enters the outer drum, the humid and hot air combines with the condensate flowing on the condensation structure to form dry air.

[0049] On the one hand, although the humid air is continuously condensed out during the clothes drying process, some humid air will still be discharged from the vents. When this humid air comes into contact with the cooler outside air, it can easily form a large amount of water vapor, affecting the customer's user experience.

[0050] Based on this, such as Figure 1As shown, a clothing processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a clothing processing cylinder, the clothing processing cylinder including an outer cylinder 1 and an inner cylinder pivotally disposed in the outer cylinder 1, an internal air duct is formed between the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder, the internal air duct is used for circulating drying air;

[0051] Water inlet pipe 2, which is used to be switchably connected to a water source;

[0052] Exhaust pipe 3, said exhaust pipe 3 being used to communicate with the outside atmosphere; and

[0053] Vent pipe 4, the diameter of vent pipe 4 is smaller than that of exhaust pipe 3, the bottom end of vent pipe 4 is connected to the air duct inside the cylinder and is located in the top area of ​​the outer cylinder 1, the top end of vent pipe 4 is connected to water inlet pipe 2 and exhaust pipe 3 respectively, and the top end of vent pipe 4 is lower than the air outlet of exhaust pipe 3.

[0054] Specifically, the garment processing device includes an inner drum and an outer drum 1. A vent pipe 4 is connected to the top area of ​​the outer drum 1 and to the air duct inside the drum. When the drying air circulates in the air duct inside the drum, the vent pipe can effectively discharge the gas in the garment processing drum and stabilize the air pressure inside the garment processing drum. A three-way pipe can be installed at the top of the vent pipe 4. The top of the vent pipe 4 can be connected to the water inlet pipe 2 and the exhaust pipe 3 respectively through the three-way pipe. Moreover, the air outlet position at the top of the vent pipe 4, i.e., the highest point of the vent pipe 4, is lower than the air outlet of the exhaust pipe 3, so that the entire body of the exhaust pipe 3 is higher than the vent pipe 4. This allows the condensate discharged from the water inlet pipe 2 to enter the vent pipe 4 under the action of gravity, preventing condensate from entering the exhaust pipe 3 and affecting the exhaust of the exhaust pipe 3. The small diameter of the vent pipe 4 and the small diameter of the exhaust pipe 3 ensure that all the gas in the vent pipe 4 can be smoothly discharged from the exhaust pipe 3. The clothes in the clothes processing drum can be discharged from the vent pipe 4 to the exhaust pipe 3 and finally to the outside atmosphere. The water inlet pipe 2 is connected to the top of the vent pipe 4. When necessary, condensate can be discharged into the vent pipe 4 through the water inlet pipe 2. The volume of condensate does not need to be too large to block the vent pipe 4. It allows the air in the vent pipe 4 to flow upward and come into contact with the condensate before entering the exhaust pipe 3, forming dry air. This avoids the direct discharge of gas with excessively high temperature and humidity to the outside, and prevents the gas discharged from the clothes processing device from coming into contact with the cold outside air to form a large amount of water vapor, which would affect the user experience.

[0055] The top region is the area near the top of the outer cylinder 1, which can be the upper half of the outer cylinder 1. After the vent pipe 4 is connected to this region, the condensate at the top of the vent pipe 4 can flow downward and the air at the bottom of the vent pipe 4 can be discharged upward, so that the air comes into contact with the condensate. Preferably, the vent pipe 4 can be connected to the very top of the outer cylinder 1.

[0056] According to the clothing treatment device of the present invention, the top of the vent pipe 4 is connected to the water inlet pipe 2 and the exhaust pipe 3 respectively. When the temperature or humidity of the gas in the vent pipe 4 is high, condensate can be injected into the vent pipe 4 through the water inlet pipe 2, so that the gas in the vent pipe 4 can be condensed by the condensate while being discharged through the exhaust pipe 3. This controls the temperature and humidity of the gas discharged from the vent pipe 4, and prevents the gas with high temperature and high humidity from being discharged directly from the vent pipe 4, forming a large amount of water vapor, which would affect the customer's user experience.

[0057] In some embodiments, it further includes: a detergent dispenser 5, which is located above the outer cylinder 1;

[0058] The end of the water inlet pipe 2 that is away from the vent pipe 4 is connected to the water inlet of the detergent box 5.

[0059] Specifically, the water inlet pipe 2 is connected to an external water source, which can be an external water pipe, that is, an additional water inlet pipe connected to the water inlet pipe 2 in addition to the original water pipe of the clothing processing device.

[0060] Furthermore, the water inlet pipe 2 can also be connected to the water inlet of the detergent box 5 of the clothes handling device. Firstly, the vent pipe 4 is close to the detergent box 5, so there is no need to make extensive modifications to the internal piping of the clothes handling device. Secondly, the water inlet pipe 2 is supplied with condensate through the water inlet of the detergent box 5, so there is no need to add additional external water pipes to the clothes handling device, which can make full use of existing resources and save costs.

[0061] In some embodiments, the outer cylinder 1 is provided with a condensation structure, which includes a condensate inlet. The connection between the water inlet pipe 2 and the outer cylinder 1 is directly opposite the condensate inlet, so that the liquid in the vent pipe 4 can flow to the condensation structure through the condensate inlet.

[0062] Specifically, the condensate that enters the vent pipe 4 from the inlet pipe 2 can eventually flow along the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 to the drainage structure and be discharged from the drainage structure.

[0063] Furthermore, this application can also provide a condensate inlet on the original condensation structure of the outer cylinder 1, so that the condensate flowing from the top to the bottom of the vent pipe 4 into the outer cylinder 1 can flow to the condensation structure, providing additional condensate for the condensation structure and improving the condensation effect of the condensation structure on humid and hot gases.

[0064] In some embodiments, it further includes: a control module; and

[0065] Control valve 6 is installed on the water inlet pipe 2 and is used to open or close the water inlet pipe 2.

[0066] The control module controls the control valve 6 to open or close the water inlet pipe 2 according to the condensation demand parameters of the gas in the vent pipe 4.

[0067] The parameters required for gas condensation include the gas temperature and / or the gas humidity.

[0068] Specifically, control valve 6 can be a solenoid valve. The control module can open or close control valve 6, and further open or close water inlet pipe 2, so that water inlet pipe 2 can discharge condensate to vent pipe 4 as needed or not discharge condensate. The condensation requirement of the gas in vent pipe 4 refers to whether the gas in vent pipe 4 has a high temperature or a high humidity. If it has either a high temperature or a high humidity, then condensate is required for condensation, and there is a condensation requirement. The condensation requirement parameters specifically refer to the temperature and / or gas that affect the condensation requirement.

[0069] In some embodiments, it further includes: a humidity sensor disposed on the vent pipe 4, the humidity sensor being used to detect the humidity of the gas in the vent pipe 4; and

[0070] A temperature sensor is installed on the vent pipe 4 and is used to detect the temperature of the gas in the vent pipe 4.

[0071] The control module controls the control valve 6 to open or close the water inlet pipe 2 based on the condensation requirements of the gas in the vent pipe 4, including:

[0072] The water inlet pipe 2 is opened or closed according to the temperature and humidity of the gas in the vent pipe 4.

[0073] Specifically, both the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are fixed on the vent pipe 4, and their sensing ends are located inside the vent pipe 4. The temperature sensor and humidity sensor can detect the gas in the vent pipe 4 and obtain temperature and humidity signals. The temperature sensor and humidity sensor are electrically connected to the control module. The control module can determine the temperature and humidity in the vent pipe 4 based on the temperature and humidity signals sent by the temperature sensor and humidity sensor, and determine whether the gas in the vent pipe 4 needs condensation based on the temperature and humidity in the vent pipe 4. Then, it can open or close the water inlet pipe 2 to control whether the condensate enters the vent pipe 4 or not.

[0074] In some embodiments, opening or closing the water inlet pipe 2 based on the temperature and humidity of the gas in the vent pipe 4 includes:

[0075] If the temperature and humidity of the gas in the vent pipe 4 are both lower than the preset values, then the water inlet pipe 2 will be shut off.

[0076] If either the temperature or humidity of the gas in the vent pipe 4 is equal to or higher than the preset value, then the water inlet pipe 2 will be opened.

[0077] Specifically, the preset values ​​can be a temperature and humidity value obtained through calculation or experimentation. When the gas temperature and humidity in the vent pipe 4 are both lower than the preset values, the control valve 6 closes, and the water inlet pipe 2 is disconnected from the vent pipe 4 to avoid wasting water resources. When either the gas temperature or humidity in the vent pipe 4 is higher than or equal to the preset value, the control valve 6 opens, and the water inlet pipe 2 is connected to the vent pipe 4, discharging condensate into the vent pipe 4. This allows the gas in the vent pipe 4 to combine with the condensate and condense before entering the exhaust pipe 3 and being discharged into the atmosphere. This prevents the gas discharged from the clothing treatment device from having a high temperature and humidity, which would combine with the colder outside air to produce a large amount of water vapor and affect the customer's user experience.

[0078] This application embodiment also provides a control method for a garment handling device, including: a vent pipe 4 having a water inlet pipe 2 and an exhaust pipe 3 respectively connected to one end of the vent pipe 4 away from the outer cylinder 1; the control method includes:

[0079] If the gas in vent pipe 4 does not meet the emission standards, the gas in vent pipe 4 will be condensed.

[0080] Specifically, the emission standard can be a preset temperature and humidity standard. If either the temperature or humidity of the gas in the vent pipe 4 exceeds the preset value, it is determined that the gas in the vent pipe 4 does not meet the emission standard. Figure 2 As shown, when the gas in the vent pipe 4 does not meet the emission standards, condensate is discharged into the vent pipe 4 through the water inlet pipe 2 to condense the gas in the vent pipe 4, thus preventing the temperature or humidity of the gas discharged from the vent pipe 4 from being too high and affecting the customer's user experience.

[0081] In some embodiments, if the gas in the vent pipe 4 does not meet the emission standards, including:

[0082] The temperature and humidity of the gas in the vent pipe 4 are obtained. If either the temperature or humidity reaches a preset value, the gas in the vent pipe 4 does not meet the emission standards.

[0083] Specifically, when determining whether the gas in the vent pipe 4 has not reached the emission surface, the temperature and humidity in the vent pipe 4 can be obtained first through temperature and humidity sensors, and then the control module can make a judgment. If either the temperature or humidity reaches a preset value, that is, equal to or higher than the preset value, it is determined that the gas in the vent pipe 4 has not met the emission standard. The gas in the vent pipe 4 can be quickly and accurately analyzed and judged in order to perform subsequent operations.

[0084] In some embodiments, obtaining the temperature and humidity of the gas in the vent pipe 4 includes:

[0085] The temperature and humidity of the gas in the vent tube 4 are measured once at preset intervals.

[0086] Specifically, in the operation steps of obtaining the temperature and humidity of the gas in the vent tube 4, the gas in the vent tube 4 can be detected once every preset time by temperature sensor and humidity sensor. The preset time can be set in advance by control module, specifically once per minute or once every half minute.

[0087] In some embodiments, condensing the gas in the vent pipe 4 includes:

[0088] Condensate is injected into the vent pipe 4 so that the gas in the vent pipe 4 flows upward and comes into contact with the condensate.

[0089] Specifically, the gas in the vent pipe 4 can be condensed by discharging condensate into the vent pipe 4. During the condensation process, the condensate flows from the top to the bottom of the vent pipe 4. The volume of the condensate is small, and it can be water flowing along the inner wall of the vent pipe 4. Meanwhile, the gas in the vent pipe 4 flows from bottom to top. During the flow, the gas comes into contact with the condensate, which can form relatively dry air.
