[0069] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. 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.

[0070] 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.

[0071] 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.

[0072] 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.

[0073] To address the problems of high water and electricity consumption and long washing times in existing twin-tub washing machines, this embodiment discloses a heating control method for a clothing processing device. The clothing processing device includes a first washing tub and a second washing tub, and the washing water from the first washing tub can be discharged into the second washing tub. Figure 10As shown, the method includes S1 to S2, wherein:

[0074] S1, while the first washing drum and the second washing drum are each executing their respective washing programs, determine whether the washing water in the first washing drum can be used to wash the load in the second washing drum.

[0075] S2, if it is determined that the washing water in the first washing drum can be used to wash the load in the second washing drum, the washing water in the first washing drum is heated, and the washing water is discharged into the second washing drum after the first washing drum enters the drainage stage of the washing program.

[0076] The washing and heating process control method of this embodiment enables water reuse, saving resources from an environmental perspective. From the perspective of pursuing better washing results, laundry detergent washes dirt through active enzymes. With some water already heated, the activity of the active enzymes can be better stimulated. The water used for rinsing in the first washing drum is heated, and the heated water in the first washing drum is discharged into the second washing drum through the connecting device between the two drums, reducing the heating time of the second washing drum and achieving better washing results.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, the first washing drum and the second washing drum are arranged vertically. The washing water in the upper drum is heated, and when it is about to drain, the heated water in the upper drum is discharged into the lower drum through the connecting device between the upper and lower drums, so as to save water and reduce or eliminate the heating time of the main wash in the lower drum.

[0078] Specifically, the upper and lower drums are connected by an internal channel. During drying, the drying airflow can be transported through this internal channel, and during washing, the washing water can be transported through this internal channel, draining the washing water from the upper drum into the lower drum.

[0079] In one implementation of this invention, step S1, determining whether the washing water in the first washing drum can be used to wash the load in the second washing drum, includes steps S11 to S13, wherein:

[0080] S11, when the washing program of the second washing drum reaches the water inlet stage, the water inlet is paused, and the washing water in the first washing drum is drained in.

[0081] The washing program performed by the second washing drum includes a water inlet stage, a heating stage, and a washing stage. When the washing program reaches the water inlet stage, the water inlet is paused, and the heated rinsing water in the first washing drum is drained in and used as the water for the heating stage of the first washing drum.

[0082] S12, when the washing program of the first washing drum includes a rinsing stage and the rinsing stage has been entered, the transparency of the rinsing water in the first washing drum is obtained.

[0083] S13, determine whether the transparency of the rinsing water in the first washing drum meets the transparency requirement; if it does, determine that the rinsing water in the first washing drum can be used to wash the load in the second washing drum.

[0084] Because the water used in the rinsing stage is relatively clear, it is more suitable for reuse. In this embodiment, as long as the transparency of the rinsing water in the first washing drum meets the transparency requirement, the rinsing water in the first washing drum is considered reusable, thereby achieving water conservation and a better washing effect.

[0085] Furthermore, in step S2, before heating the washing water in the first washing drum, the method further includes steps A1 to A3, wherein:

[0086] A1, obtain the remaining rinsing time in the first washing drum, and compare the remaining rinsing time with the first set time;

[0087] A2, if the remaining rinsing time is greater than or equal to the first set time, the rinsing water in the first washing drum is heated; this indicates that the remaining rinsing time is long enough to meet the heating requirement.

[0088] or,

[0089] A3. If the remaining rinsing time is less than the first set time, the rinsing water will be drained into the second washing drum after the first washing drum enters the draining stage of the washing program. This situation indicates that the remaining rinsing time is very short and insufficient to start the heating program. Since the rinsing water can be reused, it can be directly drained into the second washing drum for washing, thereby achieving the purpose of water saving.

[0090] This embodiment of the invention determines whether the rinse water can be reused based on both the remaining rinsing time and the transparency of the water. This satisfies the need to heat the reused wash water while also allowing for the washing of clothes in the second washing drum with clearer water. This reduces the heating time of the second washing drum, thus reducing its washing time and achieving a better washing effect.

[0091] The required transparency of the rinsing water can be set according to the load in the second washing drum. For example, the rinsing water for washing clothes needs to be clearer than the rinsing water for washing shoes. The load in the second washing drum includes, but is not limited to, clothes and shoes.

[0092] In another implementation of the present invention, if the remaining rinsing time is less than the first set time, it indicates that the rinsing program is about to end and there is not enough time to heat the rinsing water in the first washing drum. In this case, the first washing drum and the second washing drum each run their own washing programs without affecting each other.

[0093] Furthermore, if the washing program in the first washing drum includes a rinsing stage but has not yet entered the rinsing stage, the method further includes steps S14 to S17, wherein:

[0094] S14, determine whether the time between the start of the washing program and the start of the rinsing stage of the first washing drum meets the set time requirement;

[0095] S15, if the set time requirement is met, the second washing drum will continue to pause water intake;

[0096] S16, after the washing program of the first washing drum enters the rinsing stage, determine whether the transparency of the rinsing water in the first washing drum meets the transparency requirements.

[0097] S17. If the transparency requirement is met, it is determined that the load in the second washing drum can be washed using the rinsing water in the first washing drum.

[0098] If the time remaining before the rinsing stage in the first washing drum meets the set time requirement, it means the time before entering the rinsing stage is short. In this case, the second washing drum will not have too long a waiting time, and its water intake will remain paused. Conversely, if the time remaining before the rinsing stage is long, then the reuse of wash water will not be considered to avoid excessive waiting time. The first and second washing drums will continue their respective washing programs without affecting each other. Once the rinsing stage begins, there is no need to judge the remaining rinsing time; simply judge the transparency of the rinse water.

[0099] Preferably, when the washing program of the first washing drum is not in the rinsing stage, it is determined whether the washing program includes a rinsing stage. If it does, it means that the washing program has not yet entered the rinsing stage.

[0100] Furthermore, the method also includes: if the washing program of the first washing drum does not include a rinsing stage; or, if it is determined that the time from entering the rinsing stage in the first washing drum does not meet the time setting condition; or, if the transparency of the rinsing water in the first washing drum does not meet the transparency requirement; then

[0101] Control the first and second washing drums to continue their respective washing programs.

[0102] Assuming that the heating time of the second washing drum and the water required for the main wash stage of the second washing drum are reduced or eliminated, if any of the above three situations occur, the rinsing water of the first washing drum cannot be reused, and the first and second washing drums will each run their own washing programs without affecting each other.

[0103] Specifically, the remaining number of rinses in the first washing drum is determined and compared with the set number of rinses. This process is used to determine whether the first washing drum still has a rinsing stage, and then, based on the time, to determine whether the second washing drum is waiting for the first washing drum to enter the rinsing stage.

[0104] If the remaining number of rinses is less than or equal to the set number, the first and second washing drums will each run their respective washing programs.

[0105] Taking a set number of rinses as an example, if the remaining number of rinses is 0, the first and second washing drums will not affect each other and will operate independently; if the remaining number of rinses is greater than 0, it is considered that a rinsing stage is included.

[0106] Specifically, when it is determined that the first washing drum has not entered the rinsing stage, it is checked whether the remaining number of rinsing cycles in the first washing drum is greater than 0. If not, the first and second washing drums operate independently without affecting each other. If so, it is checked whether the time remaining before the first washing drum enters the rinsing stage is less than a second set time. If not, the first and second washing drums operate independently without affecting each other. If so, it waits for the first washing drum to enter the rinsing stage. After the first washing drum enters the rinsing stage, it is checked whether the transparency and reflectivity of the rinsing water in the first washing drum are greater than a set value to determine whether the rinsing water can be reused.

[0107] Furthermore, the above-mentioned determination of whether the transparency of the rinsing water in the first washing drum meets the transparency requirements includes steps A1 to A2, wherein:

[0108] A1. Compare the transparency and reflectivity of the rinsing water in the first washing drum with the set value;

[0109] A2. If the transparency and reflectivity of the rinsing water are greater than or equal to the set value, then the transparency requirement is met.

[0110] Specifically, the transparency and reflectivity of the rinse water in the first washing drum are detected and compared with a set value X in the program to determine whether the rinse water in the first washing drum can be reused. Reusable water is heated during the rinsing process, and the heated water flows into the second washing drum through the connection between the first and second drums for use in the heating stage of the second washing drum. If the transparency and reflectivity of the rinse water in the first washing drum is less than or equal to the set value X, the rinse water in the first washing drum cannot be reused, and the first and second washing drums operate independently without affecting each other. In another specific implementation, the turbidity value of the rinse water in the first washing drum is compared with a set turbidity value to determine whether the rinse water can be reused.

[0111] Furthermore, if the washing program executed in the second washing drum includes a heating phase, heating the washing water in the first washing drum in S2 includes S21 to S24, wherein:

[0112] S21, Obtain the first set heating temperature in the washing program executed by the second washing drum;

[0113] S22, compare the first set heating temperature with the second set heating temperature in the washing program executed by the first washing drum;

[0114] S23, if the first set heating temperature is less than or equal to the second set heating temperature, the first set heating temperature is used as the target heating temperature to heat the rinsing water in the first washing drum;

[0115] S24, if the first set heating temperature is greater than the second set heating temperature, the second set heating temperature is used as the target heating temperature to heat the rinsing water in the first washing drum.

[0116] Specifically, when heating the rinse water in the first washing drum, the set heating temperatures of the washing programs in both the first and second washing drums must be considered to prevent the rinse water temperature from exceeding the maximum heating temperature of its respective washing program. In short, if the first set heating temperature is less than or equal to the second set heating temperature, the first set heating temperature is used as the target heating temperature for heating the rinse water in the first washing drum; conversely, the second set heating temperature is used as the target heating temperature. That is, if the water is heated to the maximum heating temperature corresponding to the first washing drum's program, but before reaching the heating temperature set for the second washing drum, the first washing drum stops heating and resumes heating only after water enters the second washing drum. This ensures that the heated rinse water is provided to the second washing drum for its washing load, reducing the washing time in the second washing drum while maintaining the washing effect of the first washing drum and preventing damage to clothes.

[0117] Furthermore, in the heating process of heating the rinsing water in the first washing drum, the method also includes steps S3 to S6, wherein:

[0118] S3, determine whether the rinsing of the first washing drum has ended; if not, execute S4;

[0119] S4 determines whether the water temperature of the rinsing water in the first washing drum has reached the target heating temperature.

[0120] If not achieved, proceed to step S5; or if achieved, proceed to step S6.

[0121] S5, then continue heating;

[0122] S6, heating is stopped, and after the first washing drum finishes rinsing, the rinse water in the first drum is drained into the second washing drum. Specifically, while heating, it is determined whether the rinsing in the first washing drum has finished. If it has, the rinse water in the first washing drum is drained into the second washing drum. If it has not finished, it is further determined whether the rinse water in the first washing drum has been heated to the target heating temperature. If it has not reached the target heating temperature, heating continues; otherwise, it has reached the target heating temperature, heating is stopped, and the rinse water in the first washing drum is drained into the second washing drum after the first washing drum finishes rinsing.

[0123] Furthermore, the method also includes S71 to S76, wherein:

[0124] S71, during the process of draining the rinsing water from the first washing drum into the second washing drum, monitor whether the water level in the second washing drum has reached the set washing water level. If it has reached the set washing water level, execute S72; if the water level in the second washing drum has not reached the set washing water level, execute S73.

[0125] S72, stop the rinsing water from the first washing drum from flowing into the second washing drum; if the rinsing water in the first washing drum has not been completely drained, and the water level in the second washing drum has not reached the set washing water level, then continue to drain the water.

[0126] S73, then add water to the second washing drum to bring the water level to the set washing water level;

[0127] and / or

[0128] S74, Before draining the rinsing water in the first washing drum into the second washing drum, determine whether the water temperature of the washing water in the second washing drum has reached the set temperature in its washing program. If it has reached the set temperature, execute S75. If the water temperature of the washing water in the second washing drum has not reached the set temperature, execute S76.

[0129] S75 controls the second washing drum to enter the washing stage;

[0130] S76 then heats the second washing drum until the washing water reaches the set washing temperature, thus controlling the second washing drum to enter the washing stage.

[0131] Specifically, the heated rinsing water is discharged into the second washing drum. The system continuously monitors whether the second washing drum has reached the set washing water level. If it has not, the second washing drum is filled with water until it reaches the set washing water level, and the water in the second washing drum is heated to the set temperature before the second washing drum enters the washing stage. Conversely, if the water level in the second washing drum reaches the set washing water level, the system stops discharging water from the first washing drum into the second washing drum and continues to monitor whether the water in the second washing drum has reached the set temperature. If it has, the second washing drum enters the washing stage; otherwise, the water in the second washing drum is heated to the set temperature before the heating is stopped and the washing stage begins.

[0132] The second aspect of this embodiment discloses a garment processing device, which employs the heating control method provided in any of the preceding embodiments.

[0133] Combination Figure 11 The heating control method provided in this embodiment will be further explained.

[0134] ① After detecting that the second washing drum has started its program, the system checks whether the program includes a main wash heating phase. If not, the first and second washing drums operate independently without affecting each other. If the second washing drum's program includes a main wash heating phase, the system monitors its operation in real time and pauses when it reaches the water intake stage. Simultaneously, the system checks whether the first washing drum has entered the rinsing phase before starting the program. When the second washing drum is in the main wash heating phase and the first washing drum is in the rinsing phase, the system checks whether the time remaining until the first washing drum finishes rinsing is greater than the set time T1. If not, the first and second washing drums operate independently without affecting each other.

[0135] In another specific embodiment, before the second washing drum is about to enter the water intake stage, it is determined whether the first washing drum has entered the rinsing stage. If the time remaining until the end of rinsing is greater than the set time T1 and the rinsing water can be reused, then the second washing drum will pause and wait when it enters the water intake stage.

[0136] ② If so, determine whether the transparency and reflectance value of the rinse water in the first washing drum is greater than the set value X. If it is greater, determine that the rinse water in the first washing drum can be reused. At the same time, collect the set heating temperature value of the second washing drum and heat the first washing drum to the set temperature of the second washing drum. While heating, determine whether the rinsing of the first washing drum has ended. If it has ended, drain the rinse water from the first washing drum into the second washing drum. If it has not ended, continue to determine whether the rinse water in the first washing drum has been heated to the set temperature of the second washing drum. If it has not reached the set heating temperature, continue heating. Otherwise, if it has reached the set heating temperature, stop heating and wait for the first washing drum to finish rinsing before draining the rinse water from the first washing drum into the second washing drum. If the transparency and reflectance value of the rinse water in the first washing drum is less than or equal to the set value X, the rinse water in the first washing drum cannot be reused. The first and second washing drums do not affect each other and operate independently.

[0137] ③ The heated rinsing water is discharged into the second washing drum. The system continuously monitors whether the second washing drum has reached the set washing water level. If it has not, the second washing drum is filled with water until the set water level is reached. The water in the second washing drum is heated to the set temperature while being washed, and then the second washing drum enters the washing stage. Conversely, if the second washing drum reaches the set washing water level, the system stops discharging water from the first washing drum into the second washing drum and continues to monitor whether the water in the second washing drum has reached the set temperature. If it has, the second washing drum enters the washing stage. Otherwise, the water in the second washing drum is heated to the set temperature while being washed, and then the heating is stopped before entering the washing stage.

[0138] ④ When it is determined that the first washing drum has not entered the rinsing stage, check if the remaining number of rinsing cycles for the first washing drum is greater than 0. If not, the first and second washing drums operate independently without affecting each other. If so, continue to check if the time remaining before the first washing drum enters the rinsing stage is less than T2. ​​If not, the first and second washing drums operate independently without affecting each other. If so, wait for the first washing drum to enter the rinsing stage. After the first washing drum enters the rinsing stage, repeat the process control steps ② and ③.

[0139] The heating control method provided in this embodiment enables the dual-drum device to reuse the rinsing water in the first washing drum and heat the reusable water in the first washing drum for use as the main washing water in the second washing drum. This achieves the purpose of saving water, reducing or eliminating the heating time for the main washing in the lower drum, and achieving better washing results.

[0145] Specifically, the sidewall of the main air inlet duct 23 has a main air inlet duct inlet 233, a first main air inlet duct outlet 231, and a second main air inlet duct outlet 232 connected to the main air inlet duct 23, with the first main air inlet duct outlet 231 and the second main air inlet duct outlet 232 arranged opposite to each other; a first branch air inlet duct 24 connects the first main air inlet duct outlet 231 and the first air inlet, and a second branch air inlet duct 25 connects the second main air inlet duct outlet 232 and the second air inlet; the drying airflow can pass through the main air inlet duct. The air inlet 233 enters the main air inlet duct 23. The drying airflow in the main air inlet duct 23 can enter the first outer cylinder 11 through the first main air inlet outlet 231 and the first branch air inlet duct 24, or enter the second outer cylinder 13 through the second main air inlet outlet 232 and the second branch air inlet duct 25. The first air inlet and the first branch air inlet duct 24, as well as the second air inlet and the second branch air inlet duct 25, are all flexibly connected. The main air inlet duct 23 and the first branch air inlet duct 24, as well as the main air inlet duct 23 and the second air inlet duct 25, are all rigidly connected.

[0146] The first air distribution assembly also includes an air inlet baffle 31, which is movably disposed within the main air inlet duct 23. The air inlet baffle 31 can open the first main air inlet duct outlet 231 and close the second main air inlet duct outlet 232, so that the drying airflow in the main air inlet duct 23 can enter the first outer cylinder 11 through the first branch air inlet duct 24; or the air inlet baffle 31 can close the first main air inlet duct outlet 231 and open the second main air inlet duct outlet 232, so that the drying airflow in the main air inlet duct 23 can enter the second outer cylinder 13 through the second branch air inlet duct 25; or the air inlet baffle 31 can open both the first main air inlet duct outlet 231 and the second main air inlet duct outlet 232, so that a portion of the drying airflow in the main air inlet duct 23 can enter the first outer cylinder 11 through the first branch air inlet duct 24, and another portion of the drying airflow can enter the second outer cylinder 13 through the second branch air inlet duct 25.

[0147] The first air distribution shell can be integrally formed, or the first air distribution shell includes a first air distribution shell 21 and a first air distribution seat 22; the first air distribution shell 21 is disposed on the first air distribution seat 22 and forms a main air intake duct 23, the main air intake duct 23 is a cylindrical structure, the first main air intake duct outlet 231 and the second main air intake duct outlet 232 are arranged circumferentially along the main air intake duct 23, and the main air intake duct inlet 233 is located at one axial end of the main air intake duct 23; the air intake baffle 31 is an arc-shaped structure, and the air intake baffle 31 is coaxially disposed with the main air intake duct 23; the air intake baffle 31 is rotatably disposed in the main air intake duct 23, and the rotation of the air intake baffle 31 can open and close the first main air intake duct outlet 231 and the second main air intake duct outlet 232.

[0148] In other embodiments, the main air inlet duct 23 has a spherical structure and the air inlet baffle 31 has a spherical structure; this can reduce the flow resistance of the drying airflow and maximize the flow of the drying airflow to the outlet of the main air inlet duct.

[0149] The first air distribution assembly also includes a first bracket 32, which is rotatably disposed within the main air inlet duct 23. An air inlet baffle 31 is disposed on the first bracket 32. The air inlet baffle 31 can rotate synchronously with the first bracket 32. Specifically, the first bracket 32 ​​includes a first axial frame 321 and a first radial frame 322. The first axial frame 321 extends axially along the main air inlet duct 23 and is coaxially disposed with the main air inlet duct 23. The first radial frame 322 extends radially along the main air inlet duct 23, and one end of the first radial frame 322 is connected to the side wall of the first axial frame 321, while the other end of the first radial frame 322 is connected to the air inlet baffle 31. When the first axial frame 321 rotates, the first radial frame 322 rotates along with the air inlet baffle 31.

[0150] The first air distribution housing 21 has a first shaft hole formed on the side away from the first air distribution base 22, and the first shaft hole is coaxially arranged with the main air inlet duct 23; the first air distribution assembly also includes a first drive motor 33 and a first limiting frame 35; the first drive motor 33 is arranged outside the main air inlet duct 23 and the output shaft of the first drive motor 33 passes through the first shaft hole and is driven and connected to one end of the first axial frame 321; the first limiting frame 35 is arranged inside the main air inlet duct 23 and abuts against the other end of the first axial frame 321, and is used to axially limit the first axial frame 321; specifically, the first limiting frame 35 is Z-shaped.

[0151] To address the issue of incomplete sealing when the air inlet baffle 31 closes the first main air inlet outlet 231 and the second main air inlet outlet 232, this embodiment proposes that the air inlet baffle 31 can slide radially along its axis of rotation; when the air inlet baffle 31 closes the first main air inlet outlet 231 or the second main air inlet outlet 232, the air inlet baffle 31 is sealed to the side wall of the main air inlet duct 23; when the air inlet baffle 31 opens the first main air inlet outlet 231 or the second main air inlet outlet 232, the air inlet baffle 31 is spaced apart from the side wall of the main air inlet duct 23; the flow area of ​​the air inlet baffle 31 is larger than the flow area of ​​any main air inlet outlet; and the air inlet baffle 31 can completely block the first main air inlet outlet 231 or the second main air inlet outlet 232.

[0152] Furthermore, a first sealing ring is provided at the first main air intake outlet 231 and the second main air intake outlet 232. The first sealing ring is located inside the main air intake 23 and protrudes from the inner wall of the main air intake 23. The first sealing ring is made of rubber material.

[0153] The air inlet baffle 31 is slidably mounted on the first radial frame 322, and a first elastic member 36 is provided between the air inlet baffle 31 and the first radial frame 322;

[0154] When the air inlet baffle 31 closes the first main air inlet outlet 231 or the second main air inlet outlet 232, under the action of the first elastic element 36, the air inlet baffle 31 abuts against the first sealing ring; the first main air inlet outlet 231 or the second main air inlet outlet 232 is tightly sealed, reducing air leakage, and allowing the drying airflow in the main air inlet 23 to flow smoothly to the first main air inlet outlet 231 and the second main air inlet outlet 232; when the air inlet baffle 31 opens the first main air inlet outlet 231 or the second main air inlet outlet 232, under the action of the first elastic element 36... The air inlet baffle 31 is separated from the side wall of the main air inlet duct 23, allowing the air inlet baffle 31 to rotate smoothly, reducing the friction between the air inlet baffle 31 and the inner wall of the main air inlet duct 23, reducing the torque of the first drive motor 33, and reducing the abnormal noise caused by friction; specifically, a first sliding hole is formed at one end of the first radial frame 322 near the air inlet baffle 31, and a first sliding rod is provided on one side of the air inlet baffle 31 near the first radial frame 322. The first sliding rod is slidably disposed in the first sliding hole, and a first elastic element 36 is provided between the first sliding rod and the bottom wall of the first sliding hole;

[0155] In other embodiments, along the rotation direction of the air inlet baffle 31, the radial thickness of the air inlet baffle 31 gradually decreases, and the radial thickness of the first sealing ring gradually increases.

[0156] When the air inlet baffle 31 rotates and approaches the first main air inlet outlet 231 or the second main air inlet outlet 232, the air inlet baffle 31 engages with the first sealing ring and abuts against the first sealing ring; when the air inlet baffle 31 rotates and moves away from the first main air inlet outlet 231 or the second main air inlet outlet 232, the air inlet baffle 31 separates from the first sealing ring and is spaced apart from the side wall of the main air inlet duct 23.

[0157] In response to the problem that when the air inlet baffle 31 closes the first main air inlet outlet 231, the drying airflow in the main air inlet 23 cannot flow smoothly to the second main air inlet outlet 232, or when the air inlet baffle 31 closes the second main air inlet outlet 232, the drying airflow in the main air inlet 23 cannot flow smoothly to the first main air inlet outlet 231, this embodiment proposes that a first baffle rib be provided at the first main air inlet outlet 231 and the second main air inlet outlet 232;

[0158] When the air inlet baffle 31 closes the outlet 231 of the first main air inlet or the outlet 232 of the second main air inlet, the first baffle rib can close the gap between the air inlet baffle 31 and the side wall of the main air inlet 23, thus blocking the airflow and reducing the flow of drying airflow into the gap between the air inlet baffle 31 and the side wall of the main air inlet 23. This improves the sealing performance of the air inlet baffle 31 and allows the drying airflow to flow towards the outlet of the main air inlet, which is in the open state, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0159] To address the problem of low drying efficiency caused by low temperature of the drying airflow, this embodiment proposes that a heater be installed in the main air inlet duct 23, preferably a PTC heater; during the drying stage, the PTC heater can heat the drying airflow, giving it a higher temperature, thus playing an auxiliary heating role and improving drying efficiency.

The drying airflow in the second outer cylinder 13 can enter the main air outlet 43 through the second branch air outlet 45 and the second main air outlet inlet 432. The drying airflow in the main air outlet 43 can be discharged through the main air outlet. The first air outlet is rigidly connected to the first branch air outlet 44 and the second air outlet and the second branch air outlet 45.

[0165] In other embodiments, the main air outlet 43 is a spherical structure and the air outlet baffle 51 is a spherical structure; this can reduce the flow resistance of the drying airflow and maximize the flow of the drying airflow to the main air outlet.

The second axial frame 521 extends axially along the main air outlet duct 43 and is coaxially disposed with the main air outlet duct 43. The second radial frame 522 extends radially along the main air outlet duct 43, with one end connected to the side wall of the second axial frame 521 and the other end connected to the air outlet baffle 51. Rotation of the second axial frame 521 causes the second radial frame 522 to rotate along with the air outlet baffle 51.

[0168] To address the issue of inadequate sealing when the air outlet baffle 51 closes the first main air outlet inlet 431 and the second main air outlet inlet 432, this embodiment proposes that the air outlet baffle 51 can slide radially along its axis of rotation; 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 flow area of ​​the air outlet baffle 51 is larger than the flow area of ​​any main air outlet inlet; and the air outlet baffle 51 can completely block the first main air outlet inlet 431 or the second main air outlet inlet 432.

[0169] Furthermore, a second sealing ring is provided at the first main air outlet inlet 431 and the second main air outlet inlet 432.

[0170] The air outlet baffle 51 is slidably mounted on the second radial frame 522, and a second elastic member 56 is provided between the air outlet baffle 51 and the second radial frame 522.

[0171] 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...

[0175] When the air outlet baffle 51 closes the inlet 431 of the first main air outlet duct or the inlet 432 of the second main air outlet duct, the second baffle rib can close the gap between the air outlet baffle 51 and the side wall of the main air outlet duct 43; thus playing a role in blocking the wind, reducing the flow of drying air into the gap between the air outlet baffle 51 and the side wall of the main air outlet duct 43, improving the sealing performance of the air outlet baffle 51, and improving the drying efficiency.

[0176] <Wind turbine and two-phase assembly>

[0177] like Figure 8a and Figure 9bAs shown, the garment processing equipment also includes a fan 61 and a two-component assembly 62, which are disposed between the first outer cylinder 11 and the second outer cylinder 13. A main air inlet 233 is formed on the side of the first air distribution shell near the two-component assembly 62, and a main air outlet is formed on the side of the second air distribution shell near the fan 61.

[0181] The inlet baffle 31 and outlet baffle 51 are controlled to move, allowing any one washing drum to be dried individually or multiple washing drums to be dried simultaneously. Simultaneously, the flow rate of the drying airflow entering and exiting any washing drum can be adjusted. Specifically, when the first main air inlet outlet 231 is open, rotating the inlet baffle 31 adjusts the opening of the first main air inlet outlet 231, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the drying airflow entering the first washing drum. When the second main air inlet outlet 232 is open, rotating the inlet baffle 31 adjusts the opening of the second main air inlet outlet 232, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the drying airflow entering the second washing drum.
