[0002] In recent years, the washing machine industry has shown a diversified development trend. With the improvement of people's living standards, the concept of healthy, partitioned washing has gradually become a core aspect of washing machine product development. To meet consumers' growing demand for healthy washing, various types of multi-drum washing machines with partitioned washing functions have been developed on the market; in particular, heat pump multi-drum washing machines are popular among consumers due to their superior care and low damage to clothes. Currently, multi-drum washing machines can only perform single-drum washing and single-drum washing and drying, with a single drying mode. Achieving multi-drum washing and drying requires a complex drying system structure and cumbersome control process.

[0064] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0065] The terminology used in the embodiments of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “Multiple” generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.
[0066] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0067] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product or system. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system that includes said element.
[0068] In the existing technology, multi-drum washing machines can only achieve single-drum washing and single-drum washing and drying, and the drying mode is limited. To achieve multi-drum washing and drying, the required drying system structure is complex and the control process is cumbersome. In addition, the washing machine needs to be equipped with a separate exhaust duct connected to the outside to discharge the high humidity drying airflow. The exhaust duct is only used when exhausting air, which occupies a certain amount of space and has low utilization rate.
[0069] like Figures 10a to 13b As shown, this embodiment provides a drying control method for a clothing processing device. The clothing processing device includes a main air duct, N clothing processing drums, N branch air inlets, and N outlet air ducts. The main air duct is configured with N main air duct outlets and N main air duct inlets. Each clothing processing drum has an air inlet and an air outlet. One end of each of the N branch air inlets is connected to one of the N main air duct outlets, and the other end of each branch air inlet is connected to one of the N air inlets. One end of each of the N outlet air ducts is connected to one of the N main air duct inlets, and the other end of each outlet air duct is connected to one of the N outlets, so that each clothing processing drum and the main air duct form a drying airflow loop. Each main air duct outlet can be controlled to open or close, thereby opening or closing the corresponding branch air inlet. Each main air duct inlet can be controlled to open or close, thereby opening or closing the corresponding outlet air duct. Wherein, N is a positive integer and N≥2.
[0070] Drying control methods include:
[0071] S1. When at least one garment processing drum is in the drying stage and at least one garment processing drum is not in the drying stage, the branch air inlet duct and the branch air outlet duct corresponding to the garment processing drum in the drying stage are both opened, and the branch air outlet duct corresponding to the garment processing drum not in the drying stage is closed.
[0072] S2. Based on the current humidity of the drying airflow in the clothes processing drum that is in the drying stage, adjust the current opening of the main air duct outlet between the branch air inlet and the main air duct corresponding to the clothes processing drum that is not in the drying stage.
[0073] In summary, the system controls the opening of both the branch air inlets and outlets corresponding to the garment processing drums in the drying stage, forming a drying airflow loop with the corresponding branch air inlets, outlets, garment processing drums, and main airflow. Conversely, the system controls the closure of the outlets corresponding to the garment processing drums not in the drying stage. Based on the current humidity of the drying airflow within the garment processing drums in the drying stage, the system adjusts the current opening of the main airflow outlet between the branch air inlets and the main airflow of the garment processing drums not in the drying stage. This allows the high-humidity drying airflow from the garment processing drums in the drying stage to enter the garment processing drums not in the drying stage, reducing the humidity of the drying airflow, improving drying efficiency and control accuracy, and shortening the drying time.
[0074] Furthermore, S2 includes:
[0075] S21. Compare the current humidity with the preset humidity;
[0076] S22. When the current humidity is greater than the preset humidity, determine the target opening degree based on the current humidity;
[0077] Adjust the current opening of the main air duct outlet between the branch air inlet and the main air duct corresponding to the clothes handling drum that is not in the drying stage to the target opening;
[0078] S23. When the current humidity is less than or equal to the preset humidity, adjust the current opening of the main air duct outlet between the branch air inlet and the main air duct of the clothes handling drum that is not in the drying stage to zero.
[0079] To address the complexity of opening or closing branch air inlets and outlets, this embodiment proposes that the garment processing tube includes a first garment processing tube having a first air inlet and a first air outlet; the main air duct includes a main air inlet duct 23 and a main air outlet duct 43, with an air inlet baffle 31 rotatably disposed within the main air inlet duct 23, and a first main air inlet outlet 231 communicating with the main air inlet duct 23 forming on the side wall of the main air inlet duct 23; an air outlet baffle 51 rotatably disposed within the main air outlet duct 43, and a first main air outlet inlet 431 communicating with the main air outlet duct 43 forming on the side wall of the main air outlet duct 43; the branch air inlet includes a first branch air inlet duct 24 connecting the first air inlet and the first main air inlet outlet 231, and the outlet includes a first outlet duct 44 connecting the first air outlet and the first main air outlet inlet 431;
[0080] When the first garment processing drum is in the drying state, controlling both the inlet and outlet air ducts corresponding to the garment processing drum in the drying stage to open includes:
[0081] Control the rotation of the air inlet baffle 31 to open the outlet 231 of the first main air inlet duct;
[0082] Control the rotation of the air outlet damper 51 to open the inlet 431 of the first main air outlet duct; or,
[0083] When the first garment processing drum is not in the drying state, controlling the closure of the outlet air duct corresponding to the garment processing drum that is not in the drying stage includes:
[0084] Control the rotation of the air outlet baffle 51 to close the inlet 431 of the first main air outlet duct.
[0085] Furthermore, the garment processing tube also includes a second garment processing tube having a second air inlet and a second air outlet; the side wall of the main air inlet duct 23 also has a second main air inlet duct outlet 232, and the side wall of the main air outlet duct 43 has a second main air outlet duct inlet 432; the branch air inlet duct also includes a second branch air inlet duct 25 connecting the second air inlet and the second main air inlet duct outlet 232, and the outlet air duct also includes a second outlet air duct 45 connecting the second air outlet and the second main air outlet duct inlet 432;
[0086] When the second garment processing drum is in the drying state, controlling both the branch air inlet and outlet air outlet corresponding to the garment processing drum in the drying stage to open includes:
[0087] Control the rotation of the air inlet baffle 31 to open the outlet 232 of the second main air inlet duct;
[0088] Control the rotation of the air outlet damper 51 to open the inlet 432 of the second main air outlet duct; or,
[0089] When the second garment processing drum is not in the drying state, controlling the closure of the outlet air duct corresponding to the garment processing drum that is not in the drying stage includes:
[0090] Control the rotation of the air outlet baffle 51 to close the inlet 432 of the second main air outlet.
[0091] To address the complexity of adjusting the current opening of the main air duct outlet between the branch air inlet and the main air duct, this embodiment proposes that when the first garment processing drum is in a drying state and the second garment processing drum is not in a drying state, adjusting the current opening of the main air duct outlet between the branch air inlet and the main air duct corresponding to the garment processing drum not in the drying stage to the target opening includes:
[0092] Control the rotation of the air inlet baffle 31 to open the second main air inlet outlet 232 and adjust the opening size of the second main air inlet outlet 232;
[0093] Among them, the current opening of the outlet 232 of the second main air intake duct satisfies: B=k2*Bmax;
[0094] Alternatively, when the first garment processing drum is not in the drying state and the second garment processing drum is in the drying state, adjusting the current opening of the main air duct outlet between the branch air inlet corresponding to the garment processing drum not in the drying stage and the main air duct includes:
[0095] Control the rotation of the air inlet baffle 31 to open the first main air inlet outlet 231 and adjust the opening size of the first main air inlet outlet 231;
[0096] Among them, the current opening of the first main air intake outlet 231 satisfies: A=k1*Amax;
[0097] B is the current opening degree of the second main air inlet outlet 232, Bmax is the maximum opening degree of the second main air inlet outlet 232, and k2 is the opening degree coefficient of the second main air inlet outlet 232, which is determined by the current humidity.
[0098] A is the current opening degree of the first main air intake outlet 231; Amax is the maximum opening degree of the first main air intake outlet 231; k1 is the opening degree coefficient of the first main air intake outlet 231 and is determined by the current humidity.
[0099] like Figure 8c As shown, in response to the problem that the high humidity drying airflow cannot be discharged to the outside of the clothing processing equipment in a timely manner, this embodiment proposes that a first exhaust pipe 15 is connected between the first clothing processing drum and the environment where the clothing processing equipment is located, and a second exhaust pipe 16 is connected between the second clothing processing drum and the environment where the clothing processing equipment is located; both the first exhaust pipe 15 and the second exhaust pipe 16 can be controlled to open or close.
[0100] When the first garment processing drum is in the drying state and the second garment processing drum is not in the drying state, control the first exhaust pipe 15 to be closed and the second exhaust pipe 16 to be opened.
[0101] When the first garment processing drum is not in the drying state and the second garment processing drum is in the drying state, the first exhaust pipe 15 is opened and the second exhaust pipe 16 is closed.
[0102] Furthermore, the first exhaust pipe 15 is close to the opening of the first garment processing cylinder; the second exhaust pipe 16 is close to the opening of the second garment processing cylinder.
[0103] The garment processing equipment also includes a first air distribution shell, a second air distribution shell, a two-component assembly 62, and a fan 61. The first air distribution shell, the two-component assembly 62, the fan 61, and the second air distribution shell are sequentially arranged between the first garment processing cylinder and the second garment processing cylinder. The first air distribution shell forms a main air inlet duct 23, and the second air distribution shell forms a main air outlet duct 43. One end of the main air inlet duct 23 forms a main air inlet duct inlet 233 connected to the main air inlet duct 23, and one end of the main air outlet duct 43 forms a main air outlet duct outlet connected to the main air outlet duct 43. The two-component assembly 62 includes two-component boxes 621, and the two-component boxes 621 form two-component cavities. The fan 61 forms a fan cavity. The main air inlet duct inlet 233, the two-component cavities, the fan cavity, and the main air outlet duct outlet are sequentially connected to form the main air duct.
[0104] <Clothing Disposal Tube>
[0105] like Figure 8a , Figure 8b , Figure 9a and Figure 9bAs shown, the first and second garment processing cylinders are arranged side by side inside the housing 63, with the openings of the first and second garment processing cylinders facing the same side. The first garment processing cylinder includes a first outer cylinder 11 and a first inner cylinder 12. A first air inlet is formed on the upper side of the opening of the first outer cylinder 11, and a first air outlet is formed on the upper side of the side wall of the first outer cylinder 11. Both the first air inlet and the first air outlet are connected to the interior of the first outer cylinder 11. The first inner cylinder 12 is rotatably disposed inside the first outer cylinder 11 and is used to carry the drying load. The drying airflow can enter the first outer cylinder 11 through the first air inlet, and then enter the first inner cylinder 12 to dry the drying load inside the first inner cylinder 12. Subsequently, the drying airflow is discharged through the first air outlet.
[0106] The second garment processing drum includes a second outer drum 13 and a second inner drum 14.

The drying airflow can enter the second outer drum 13 through the second air inlet and then enter the second inner drum 14 to dry the drying load inside the second inner drum 14. Subsequently, the drying airflow is discharged through the second air outlet. The first inner drum 12 and the second inner drum 14 have the functions of washing and shaking clothes.
[0107] <Air Inlet Device>
[0108] like Figures 1a to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the air intake device includes a first air distribution assembly, a first branch air intake duct 24, and a second branch air intake duct 25.

[0130] To address the issue of inadequate sealing when the air outlet baffle 51 closes the first main air outlet inlet 431 or the second main air outlet inlet 432, this embodiment proposes that the air outlet baffle 51 can slide radially along its pivot axis; when the air outlet baffle 51 closes the first main air outlet inlet 431 or the second main air outlet inlet 432, the air outlet baffle 51 is sealed to the side wall of the main air outlet 43; when the air outlet baffle 51 opens the first main air outlet inlet 431 or the second main air outlet inlet 432, the air outlet baffle 51 is spaced apart from the side wall of the main air outlet 43; the air outlet baffle 51 can completely block the first main air outlet inlet 431 or the second main air outlet inlet 432.

[0133] When the air outlet baffle 51 closes the first main air outlet inlet 431 or the second main air outlet inlet 432, under the action of the second elastic element 56, the air outlet baffle 51 abuts against the second sealing ring; the first main air outlet inlet 431 or the second main air outlet inlet 432 is tightly sealed, reducing air leakage, allowing the drying airflow to smoothly enter the main air outlet 43 through the first main air outlet inlet 431 or the second main air outlet inlet 432; when the air outlet baffle 51 opens the first main air outlet inlet 431 or the second main air outlet inlet 432, under the action of the second elastic element 56... The air outlet baffle 51 is separated from the side wall of the main air outlet duct 43, so that the air outlet baffle 51 can rotate smoothly, reducing the friction between the air outlet baffle 51 and the inner wall of the main air outlet duct 43, reducing the torque of the second drive motor 53, and reducing the abnormal noise caused by friction. Specifically, a second sliding hole is formed at one end of the second radial frame 522 near the air outlet baffle 51, and a second sliding rod is provided on one side of the air outlet baffle 51 near the second radial frame 522.
