[0036] As described in the background section, in related technologies, the amount of fiber adhering to the lint filter of a washer-dryer combo increases with usage time, requiring manual removal, cleaning, and reinstallation in the drying tunnel, thus severely affecting drying efficiency.

[0040] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method embodiment for self-cleaning the filter of a washer-dryer combo is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0041] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a filter self-cleaning method for a washer-dryer combo according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0042] Step S202: During the operation of the washer-dryer combo, the current operating information of the washer-dryer combo is obtained, wherein the current operating information includes at least one of the following: the current drying cycle value of the washer-dryer combo, the exhaust temperature of the washer-dryer combo, and the condensation temperature. The drying cycle value indicates the number of times the washer-dryer combo completes the drying process.
[0043] The following is combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a washer-dryer combo according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the filter installation position according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the aforementioned washer-dryer combo includes a drum assembly, an air duct assembly, a corrugated pipe, a filter screen, and also includes components such as an air outlet 11, a two-piece set 40, a fan 41, an air inlet 42, a corrugated pipe 43, and a spray system 44; Figure 4 As shown, the washer-dryer combo also includes a rear drum component 1, and a filter screen 3 is installed inside the air outlet 11 of the rear drum component 1 and fixed by screws, mainly used to filter dust and lint from clothes.
[0045] Step S204: When it is determined from the current operating information that the washer-dryer meets the filter self-cleaning conditions, the drum of the washer-dryer is controlled to rotate in a predetermined direction. The filter self-cleaning conditions are used to determine whether the filter of the washer-dryer needs to perform a self-cleaning operation.
[0046] Optionally, the above-mentioned predetermined direction can be: clockwise or counterclockwise.
[0047] The direction of the rotation is not specifically limited to clockwise or counterclockwise. The rotation direction of the drum can be determined according to the installation position of the filter screen in the washer-dryer combo. As long as the airflow disturbance generated by the inner drum rotation is perpendicular to the filter screen surface from bottom to top, it is acceptable. In this embodiment of the invention, the drum is rotated in a clockwise direction as an example for further explanation.
[0048] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, in step S204, when the current operating information includes the current drying cycle value, determining that the washer-dryer meets the filter self-cleaning condition based on the current operating information includes: comparing the current drying cycle value with the drying cycle threshold to obtain a comparison result, wherein the drying cycle threshold is a threshold determined based on the thickness of the material attached to the filter; when the comparison result indicates that the current drying cycle has reached the drying cycle threshold, determining that the washer-dryer meets the filter self-cleaning condition.
[0049] The following is combined with Figure 5 The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating how to determine whether to perform a filter self-cleaning operation based on a drying cycle value, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, after each drying operation, the washer-dryer determines whether the current cumulative drying cycle value has reached N cycles (the drying cycle threshold determined by the thickness of the material adhering to the filter). If the current drying cycle value has not yet reached N cycles, the same determination is made again when the washer-dryer completes the next drying operation. If the current drying cycle value has reached N cycles, the filter self-cleaning operation is performed first during the next drying operation, and the drying operation is performed after cleaning the filter to restore it to a clean state, so as to avoid affecting the drying efficiency due to excessive fiber adhering to the filter.
[0050] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, in step S204, when the current operating information includes exhaust temperature and condensation temperature, determining that the washer-dryer meets the filter self-cleaning condition based on the current operating information further includes: when the difference between the exhaust temperature and the condensation temperature is greater than a temperature difference threshold, and / or when the condensation temperature is greater than a first temperature threshold, determining that the washer-dryer meets the filter self-cleaning condition.
[0051] The following is combined with Figure 6 The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating how to determine whether to perform a filter self-cleaning operation based on the difference between the exhaust temperature and the condensation temperature, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, during the drying operation of the washer-dryer combo, if the difference between the exhaust temperature and the condensing temperature is detected to be greater than the first preset temperature value or the condensing temperature is greater than the second preset temperature value (T), the machine will automatically shut down. 排气 -T 冷凝 ≤T 设1 or T 冷凝 ≥T 设2If the above conditions are not met, the compressor and fan will stop working, and the dehydration process will be forced to begin. Then, the filter screen will be self-cleaned to restore it to a clean state. After cleaning the filter screen, the previous drying operation will continue to be performed to avoid affecting the drying efficiency due to excessive fiber adhesion on the filter screen. If the above conditions are not met, the drying operation will be performed normally.
[0052] Step S206: When the rotational speed of the drum in the predetermined direction reaches the first predetermined speed, control the drum to rotate at the first predetermined speed.
[0053] The following is combined with Figure 7 The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Figure 7 This is a flowchart of an optional self-cleaning method for the filter of a washer-dryer combo according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, after the filter self-cleaning operation begins, the control roller rotates clockwise at an increased speed until it reaches n1 (the first predetermined speed), and then rotates at that speed for t1 seconds.
[0054] In step S208, while the drum is rotating at a first predetermined speed, the spraying equipment of the washer-dryer is triggered to perform a spraying operation on the filter screen at a predetermined frequency to perform a self-cleaning operation on the filter screen until the cleanliness of the filter screen reaches the cleanliness threshold.
[0055] As above Figure 7 As shown, during the rotation of the drum at a speed of n1, the trigger nozzle (spraying device) is activated to perform a spraying operation at a frequency of t2sON / t3sOFF (predetermined frequency) and maintained for t4s.
[0056] To ensure that the water sprayed from the nozzle can hit the filter screen as much as possible, the following settings are made: n1 = 400 RPM, t1 > t4. The rotation speed n1 does not necessarily have to be 400 RPM in this embodiment of the invention, but can be other rotation speeds. It can be adjusted appropriately according to the distance between the filter screen and the inner cylinder, and the nozzle will not be turned on in the subsequent process.
[0057] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, after step S208, that is, after performing a self-cleaning operation on the filter screen until the cleanliness of the filter screen reaches a cleanliness threshold, the method further includes: triggering the spraying device to stop performing the spraying operation; and continuing to control the roller to rotate at a first predetermined speed to perform a secondary cleaning of the filter screen.
[0058] Since the time the drum rotates at speed n1 is longer than the time the nozzle performs the spraying operation, the drum can be used to re-pump the water sprayed by the nozzle back onto the filter screen for auxiliary rinsing. Auxiliary rinsing can effectively clean the dead corners at the bottom of the filter screen and remove stubborn lint, achieving a double cleaning effect.
[0059] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, after step S208, that is, after performing self-cleaning on the filter screen until the cleanliness of the filter screen reaches the cleanliness threshold, the method further includes: controlling the roller to rotate at a reduced speed according to a first predetermined rate; during the process of the roller rotating at a reduced speed according to the first predetermined rate, obtaining the rotation speed according to a first predetermined period; when it is determined that the rotation speed has dropped to a second predetermined speed, controlling the roller to rotate at the second predetermined speed.
[0060] Because a water film forms on the filter screen after the spraying operation is performed by the nozzle, which is not conducive to the airflow in the drying tunnel; therefore, in order to accelerate the rupture of the water film, the roller is first controlled to rotate at a reduced speed according to the first predetermined speed, so that its rotation speed is reduced to n2 (the second predetermined speed), in order to reduce the centrifugal force generated by its high-speed rotation and avoid damage to the clothes.
[0061] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, after step S208, that is, the filter self-cleaning method of the washer-dryer combo further includes: during the process of controlling the drum to rotate at a second predetermined speed, counting the first cumulative time of the drum rotating at the second predetermined speed; after the first cumulative time reaches the first predetermined time, controlling the drum to increase its speed at a second predetermined rate; during the process of the drum increasing its speed at the second predetermined rate, obtaining the drum speed according to a second predetermined cycle; when it is determined that the speed has increased to a third predetermined speed, controlling the drum to rotate at a third predetermined speed; during the process of the drum rotating at the third predetermined speed, controlling the drum to perform a dehydration operation.
[0062] As above Figure 7 As shown, after the control drum rotates at a speed of n2 for t5s (first predetermined time), the control drum restarts at a second predetermined speed until the drum speed reaches n3 (third predetermined speed). The drum rotation at speed n3 generates airflow disturbance and high-frequency vibration perpendicular to the filter screen surface to assist in breaking the water film on the filter screen, reducing the thickness of the water film or breaking a small amount of water film in the mesh, and completing the remaining dewatering process; under normal circumstances, n3 ≥ 800 RPM.
[0063] In the above embodiments of the present invention, after the control drum performs the dehydration operation, the process includes: triggering the heating component of the washer-dryer combo to start, so as to control the temperature inside the drum to rise until the temperature rises to a second temperature threshold; during the temperature rise inside the drum, controlling the drum to operate at a predetermined rotation-to-stop ratio, wherein the predetermined rotation-to-stop ratio indicates that the control drum operates at a rotation-to-stop ratio with more stops / fewer rotations; during the control drum to operate at the predetermined rotation-to-stop ratio, calculating a second cumulative time for the drum to operate at the predetermined rotation-to-stop ratio; and when the second cumulative time reaches the second predetermined time, controlling the drum to stop operating.
[0064] Since the airflow disturbance and high-frequency vibration generated by the high speed of the drum can only reduce the thickness of the water film or break a small number of mesh water films, the complete rupture of the water film still requires the large airflow disturbance generated by the drying fan in the later stage. Therefore, when the dehydration is completed and the heating stage is entered, the drum can be controlled to run with a rotation-stop ratio of more stops / fewer rotations for t6s, so that the airflow circulation resistance formed by the drying fan is smaller, thus making it easier for the water film to rupture.
[0065] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, after controlling the drum to perform the dehydration operation, the current operating information includes the exhaust temperature and the condensation temperature, the method further includes: controlling the washer-dryer to continue performing the drying operation according to the current operating state, wherein the current operating state is the state of the washer-dryer before the self-cleaning operation is performed, which is stored in advance.
[0066] If T is detected during the drying operation of the drum... 排气 -T 冷凝 ≤T 设1 or T 冷凝 ≥T 设2 This forces the filter to self-clean. After the filter cleaning operation is completed, the drying operation needs to be performed according to the pre-stored operation instructions of the washer-dryer combo.
[0067] As can be seen from the above, through the above steps, according to the technical solution provided by the above embodiments of the present invention, the current operating information of the washer-dryer can be obtained during the operation of the washer-dryer combo. The current operating information includes at least one of the following: the current drying cycle value of the washer-dryer combo, the exhaust temperature of the washer-dryer combo, and the condensation temperature. The drying cycle value represents the number of times the washer-dryer combo completes the drying process. When it is determined from the current operating information that the washer-dryer combo meets the filter self-cleaning conditions, the drum of the washer-dryer combo is controlled to rotate in a predetermined direction. The filter self-cleaning conditions are used to determine whether the filter of the washer-dryer combo needs to perform a self-cleaning operation. When the rotation speed of the drum in the predetermined direction reaches a first... When the predetermined speed is reached, the control drum rotates at the first predetermined speed. During the rotation of the drum at the first predetermined speed, the spraying equipment of the washer-dryer is triggered to perform a spraying operation on the filter screen at a predetermined frequency to perform a self-cleaning operation on the filter screen until the cleanliness of the filter screen reaches the cleanliness threshold.
