[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present application, an embodiment of a drying system and a clothing processing method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0039] An embodiment of the present application provides a drying system, which is applied to a clothes processing device. The drying system includes an outer drum 1 and an inner drum 2, and a drying air duct connected between the outer drum 1 and the inner drum 2. The drying air duct is provided with a condensation air duct. The condensation air duct is provided with a first condensation zone, which is formed on the inner side of the bottom wall of the outer drum near the inner drum. A condensation water inlet is provided at the upper end of the first condensation zone for conveying condensed water into the first condensation zone.

[0040] The condensation air duct is further provided with a second condensation zone, which is formed on the outer side of the bottom wall of the outer tube 1 away from the inner tube 2. The second condensation zone is provided with an air inlet 31 and an air outlet 32. The air inlet 31 and the air outlet 32 ​​are both opened on the bottom wall of the outer tube 1 and are both connected to the first condensation zone. The air outlet 32 ​​is used to introduce the dry airflow passing through the second condensation zone into the upper part of the first condensation zone, and the air inlet 31 is used to directly introduce the dry airflow in the outer tube 1 into the bottom of the second condensation zone. The height of the air inlet 31 is lower than the height of the air outlet 32.

[0041] The second condensation zone is provided with a water inlet member 4, and the water inlet member 4 is arranged near the air outlet 32. A through hole connecting the inner tube space and the outer tube space is provided on the wall of the inner tube 2. The water flow sprayed by the water inlet member 4 can, on the one hand, be sprayed toward the second condensation zone to form a condensation effect on the drying air flow in the second condensation zone, and on the other hand, be sprayed from the air outlet 32 ​​toward the inner side of the outer tube 1 and can flow into the inner tube 2 through the through hole.

[0042] For ease of understanding, Figure 1 As shown, the drying duct also includes a volute duct and a heating duct. The inlet end of the volute duct is connected to the air outlet, and the outlet end is connected to the heating duct. The outlet end of the heating duct is connected to the tube opening of the inner tube. The volute duct is equipped with a drying fan, and the heating duct is equipped with a heating device. The drying duct includes a condensation box, which includes a box body 3 and a cover. The box body 3 is mounted together with the outer wall surface of the bottom wall of the outer tube 1. The cover is mounted on the box body 3 and forms a second condensation zone with the box body 3. The water inlet 4 is mounted on the box body 3. The air inlet 31 and the air outlet 32 ​​are both opened on the bottom wall of the outer tube 1 and penetrate the bottom wall. This allows the airflow between the inner tube 2 and the outer tube 1 to enter the area enclosed by the box body 3 through the air inlet 31, that is, the airflow can enter the second condensation zone through the air inlet 31.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first condensation zone is located between the outer tube 1 and the inner tube 2, and the condensation water inlet is used to deliver condensed water to the inner side of the bottom wall of the outer tube 1. The condensed water flows downward along the inner side of the bottom wall of the outer tube 1 and contacts the airflow in the first condensation zone, condensing the airflow and increasing its dryness.

[0044] In one embodiment, the first condensation zone and the second condensation zone are connected, so the air flow entering the first condensation zone will pass through the air inlet 31 into the second condensation zone, and the water inlet member 4 can transport liquid to the second condensation zone. Therefore, the air flow in the second condensation zone and the liquid produce a condensation effect, thereby improving the dryness of the air flow.

[0045] In one embodiment, the drying fan 7 is used to drive the airflow in the volute duct. Specifically, the airflow in the volute duct, driven by the drying fan 7, first enters the inner drum 2. After coming into contact with the clothing, it moves from the inner drum 2 to the outer drum 1 and enters the first condensation zone. In this first condensation zone, the airflow moves upward along the inner side of the bottom wall of the outer drum 1, coming into contact with condensed water during movement. The airflow then passes through the drying fan 7 and the heating device, and is again driven into the inner drum 2 to come into contact with the clothing. Part of the airflow in the first condensation zone enters the second condensation zone through the air inlet 31. After condensation in the second condensation zone, the airflow returns to the upper end of the first condensation zone through the air outlet 32. There, it merges with the airflow in the first condensation zone, passes through the drying fan 7 and the heating device, and is again driven into the inner drum 2 to come into contact with the clothing.

[0046] In one embodiment, the water inlet 4 is arranged close to the air outlet 32 ​​so that the water inlet 4 can transport the sprayed water into the air outlet. That is, as long as the water inlet can spray water into the air outlet 32, the water inlet 4 can be regarded as being arranged close to the air outlet 32.

[0047] As described above, the second condensation zone is provided with an air inlet 31 and an air outlet 32 ​​communicating with the first condensation zone. A water inlet 4 is located at the air outlet 32. This water inlet 4 utilizes the air outlet 32 ​​and the through-holes in the inner drum 2 to deliver liquid into the inner drum 2. During the first drying phase, the drying airflow flowing through the air duct condenses in the second condensation zone in addition to the first condensation zone, improving condensation efficiency and, consequently, drying efficiency. Furthermore, during the second drying phase, the water inlet 4 delivers liquid into the inner drum 2 to humidify the clothes, facilitating wrinkle removal and protecting them from damage from the higher-temperature airflow, thereby enhancing the drying process.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present application, the projection of the water inlet member 4 on the bottom wall of the outer cylinder 1 completely overlaps or partially overlaps with the air outlet 32 ​​.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the projection of the water inlet 4 partially overlaps with the air outlet 32, that is, the position of the water inlet 4 corresponds to the air outlet 32, so that the liquid output by the water inlet 4 can be directly sprayed into the air outlet 32, and the liquid then passes through the air outlet 32 ​​to reach the inner drum 2. Since the inner drum 2 is provided with a plurality of through holes, some of the liquid will pass through the through holes into the inner drum 2 and come into contact with the clothes, thereby cooling the clothes or increasing the humidity of the clothes.

[0050] According to the above content, the position of the water inlet member 4 is set at the air outlet 32, which facilitates the water inlet member 4 to transport liquid into the inner drum 2 to cool the clothes or increase the humidity of the clothes, which helps to improve the post-drying effect of the clothes.

[0051] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the second condensation zone is provided with a reflection plate 5 on the outer peripheral side of the air outlet 32 ​​, and the reflection plate 5 is used to reflect at least part of the condensed water sprayed from the water inlet member 4 into the air outlet 32 ​​.

[0052] In one embodiment, the reflective plate 5 is arc-shaped, and the bending direction is away from the water inlet part 4, so that the liquid sprayed from the water inlet part 4 is ejected by the reflective plate 5 and moves toward the inner drum 2, and then passes through the through holes on the inner drum 2 and enters the inner drum 2 to contact the clothes.

[0053] As described above, the reflector 5 is provided to deliver liquid sprayed from the water inlet 4 into the inner drum 2. This ensures that the water inlet 4 can supply liquid to the inner drum 2, improving the post-drying effect of the clothes. Furthermore, the water inlet 4 is less likely to block the air outlet 32, ensuring smooth airflow in the second condensation zone.

[0054] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the box body 3 is provided with a plurality of guide ribs 6 connected to the outer cylinder 1 , and the extension directions of the plurality of guide ribs 6 are different.

[0055] In one embodiment, the number and shape of the guide ribs 6 are not specifically limited. The purpose is to guide the liquid on the outer bottom wall of the outer tube 1 through the guide ribs 6 and spread over the outer bottom wall of the outer tube 1, thereby helping to improve the condensation efficiency of the second condensation zone.

[0056] It should be noted that a plurality of guide ribs 6 may also be provided in the first condensation zone. Specifically, the plurality of guide ribs 6 in the first condensation zone are provided on the inner bottom wall of the outer cylinder 1 .

[0057] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the water inlet member 4 is a spray head, which includes a plurality of spray holes 41 opened in different directions, and is used to output water mist liquid;

[0058] Preferably, the spray head is formed with a downwardly inclined guide wall 42 above each spray hole, and the guide wall 42 allows the water flow or mist-like liquid sprayed toward the inner side of the outer cylinder to be sprayed downwardly.

[0059] In one embodiment, the spray head is cylindrical, and a plurality of spray holes 41 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the spray head, so that the plurality of spray holes 41 can spray the liquid in different directions.

[0060] In one embodiment, if Figure 5As shown, the guide wall 42 is arranged around the spray hole, and the spray hole and the guide wall 42 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the water flow or water mist liquid sprayed from the spray hole is restricted by the guide wall 42 and moves along the extension direction of the guide wall 42.

[0061] According to the above, the spray head has a plurality of spray holes 41 opened in different directions, so as to improve the condensation efficiency of the second condensation zone.

[0062] The present application provides a method for treating clothes, which is applied to the drying system described above. Figure 6 As shown, the method includes:

[0063] S101. In response to a post-drying program of a clothes treating device, obtain post-drying items of the clothes treating device and clothes information of clothes to be treated.

[0064] In one embodiment, the laundry processing device includes a drying phase, which includes a pre-drying phase and a post-drying phase. The pre-drying phase corresponds to a pre-drying program, and the post-drying phase corresponds to a post-drying program. The post-drying program corresponds to multiple post-drying items. For example, the post-drying items include an odor removal item and a wrinkle removal item, and different post-drying items correspond to different post-drying programs. Specifically, the post-drying item can be user-input, such as a user selecting a post-drying item by touching a touch screen or pressing a button on the laundry processing device. The post-drying item can also be a default, such as the laundry processing device performing wrinkle removal and post-drying after washing or drying.

[0065] In one embodiment, clothing information refers to information related to clothing, such as the weight of the clothing, the material of the clothing, etc.

[0066] S102: Control the water inlet state of the water inlet component according to the post-drying item and the clothing information.

[0067] In one embodiment, when the post-drying process is executed, the water inlet 4 sprays liquid, that is, water, onto the clothes in the inner drum 2. The water inlet state of the water inlet 4, such as the water inlet time and water inlet efficiency, is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0068] Through the above content, when the clothes to be processed are post-dried, the water inlet state of the water inlet component 4 will be controlled according to the post-drying items and clothing information, so that the clothes to be processed can absorb the water sprayed by the water inlet component 4, lower their own temperature, and make the clothes to be processed less likely to be damaged. At the same time, it helps to remove wrinkles for the clothes to be processed and improves the processing effect of the clothes.

[0069] In another embodiment of the present application, the controlling the water inlet state of the water inlet 4 according to the post-drying item and the clothing information includes:

[0070] The water inlet time and / or water inlet amount of the water inlet component 4 is controlled according to the post-drying item and the weight and / or material of the clothes in the clothes information.

[0071] In one embodiment, the water inlet time and / or water inlet amount of the water inlet member 4 are different for different post-drying items, different laundry weights, and different laundry materials.

[0072] For ease of understanding, for example, in one application scenario, if the post-drying program is odor removal and the laundry is made of cotton and linen, the water inlet time of the water inlet component 4 is controlled to be T1; if the post-drying program is odor removal and the laundry is made of synthetic fiber, the water inlet time of the water inlet component 4 is controlled to be T2. T1 is greater than T2.

[0073] In another application scenario, when the post-drying program is changed to the wrinkle removal program, the water inlet time of the water inlet component 4 is controlled to be T3 for cotton and linen clothes to be processed, and the water inlet time of the water inlet component 4 is controlled to be T4 for chemical fiber clothes to be processed.

[0074] In another application scenario, when processing 2 kg of clothes to be processed, the water inlet time of the water inlet 4 is controlled to be T5, and when processing 1 kg of clothes to be processed, the water inlet time of the water inlet 4 is controlled to be T6.

[0075] That is, different post-drying items, depending on the material of the clothes, have different processing difficulties. For clothes with more difficult processing, the water inlet time of the water inlet 4 can be extended. Specifically, a table can be pre-set to store the drying item, the weight of the clothes, the material of the clothes, the water inlet time and the water inlet volume. When the water inlet time and / or the water inlet volume of the water inlet 4 need to be determined, the corresponding water inlet time and / or water inlet volume can be found in the table based on the drying item, the weight of the clothes and / or the material of the clothes, thereby controlling the water inlet 4.

[0076] Through the above content, the water inlet time and water inlet amount of the water inlet member 4 are changed according to the post-drying items, the weight of the clothes and the material of the clothes, which helps to improve the clothing treatment effect.

[0077] In another embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the post-drying items of the laundry processing device and the laundry information of the laundry to be processed, the method further includes:

[0078] The wind speed of the drying fan 7 is controlled according to the weight and / or material of the clothes in the clothes information.

[0079] For ease of understanding, for example, when processing clothing made of materials such as cotton and linen, since cotton and linen are harder and generally thicker than other materials, a higher wind speed V1 is used. When processing clothing made of synthetic fibers with a high polyester content, a lower wind speed V2 can be used. For clothing made of the same material but heavier, wind speed V3 is used, while for lighter clothing, wind speed V4 is used. V2 is less than V1, and V4 is less than V3. Specifically, in one embodiment, 1000 rpm ≤ V2 < V1 ≤ 5000 rpm, and 1000 rpm ≤ V4 < V3 ≤ 5000 rpm.

[0080] Specifically, the wind speed of the drying fan 7 can be determined by a preset table in the same manner as the water inlet time and / or water inlet amount of the water inlet member 4, which will not be described in detail.

[0081] Through the above content, the wind speed is regulated in the post-drying stage to further improve the treatment effect of clothes.

[0082] In another embodiment of the present application, the obtaining of clothing information of the clothing to be processed includes:

[0083] determining the clothing material in the clothing information according to the post-drying item or performing material identification on the clothing to be processed to obtain the clothing material;

[0084] The clothes to be processed are weighed to obtain the weight of the clothes.

[0085] In one embodiment, different post-drying items correspond to different clothing materials, so after obtaining the post-drying items, the clothing material of the clothing to be processed can be determined.

[0086] In another embodiment, a camera is installed to photograph the clothes to be processed to identify the material of the clothes. Specifically, the label of the clothes can be photographed to identify the material of the clothes.

[0087] In another embodiment of the present application, before responding to the post-drying procedure, the method further includes:

[0088] In response to the pre-drying process, the water inlet member 4 is controlled to deliver liquid to the second condensation zone.

[0089] Through the above content, the water inlet member 4 and the box body 3 are used to realize condensation of the drying airflow in two condensation areas, which helps to improve the drying efficiency.

[0090] An embodiment of the present application also provides a clothing processing device, which includes the drying system described above or uses the clothing processing method described above when processing clothing.
