[0046] In response to the preference of some users for the lingering scent of detergent on their clothes, this application proposes a method to enhance the fragrance of clothes directly using the detergent, without requiring the user to add fabric softener or an additional fragrance generator. Therefore, to address this user need, this patent designs a more convenient and user-friendly clothing fragrance enhancement device.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] This invention provides a delivery component, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it is applied to a garment processing device, which is equipped with a garment processing cylinder 1.

[0049] Specifically, let's take a washer-dryer model as an example:

[0050] The delivery component in this embodiment includes:

[0051] The detergent dispenser 2 has multiple cavities for dispensing detergent, one of which serves as a storage cavity for fragrance-enhancing detergent. This fragrance-enhancing detergent storage cavity can be designed as a small, independent cavity within the existing detergent dispenser, with its own water inlet pipe. Alternatively, a conventional detergent storage cavity can be used for detergent dispensing if the fragrance-enhancing detergent storage cavity is not feasible. For this purpose, the fragrance-enhancing detergent storage cavity has two outlets: the first outlet is used to directly dispense detergent into the laundry drum 1, and the second outlet is used to supply fragrance-enhancing detergent to the mixing liquid storage box 3. Preferably, both outlets can be equipped with valves to control their flow. Alternatively, preferably, a through-hole with a gate can be provided on the partition wall between the fragrance-enhancing detergent storage cavity and its adjacent cavity. When fragrance-enhancing detergent needs to enter the washing tub directly, the gate can be opened to allow it to flow into the adjacent cavity and into the washing tub through the dispensing port of the adjacent cavity. In this case, the through-hole on the partition wall between the fragrance-enhancing detergent storage cavity and other cavities becomes the first outlet.

[0052] The mixing liquid storage box 3 is provided with a fragrance-enhancing detergent mixing chamber. The fragrance-enhancing detergent mixing chamber is provided with a water inlet and a liquid inlet. The liquid inlet is connected to the second outlet of the fragrance-enhancing detergent storage chamber. In the mixing liquid storage box 3, the fragrance-enhancing detergent flowing into the detergent mixing chamber from the fragrance-enhancing detergent storage chamber is mixed with the water flowing into the detergent mixing chamber from the water inlet to form a mixing liquid.

[0053] A vapor generator is used to atomize or vaporize the mixture in the mixture storage box 3 to generate fragrance detergent vapor and apply the generated fragrance detergent vapor to the garment processing chamber of the garment processing drum 1.

[0054] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the mixture storage box 3 further includes:

[0055] Liquid level probe 4 is placed inside the mixed liquid storage box 3 and is used to detect the liquid level height inside the mixed liquid storage box 3;

[0056] Heater 5, located inside the mixture storage box 3, is used to heat the mixture;

[0057] The stirring mechanism has a stirring part 6 located inside the mixture storage box 3 for stirring the mixture.

[0058] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the mist generating device includes:

[0059] The atomizing chamber is fluidly connected to the mixed liquid storage box 3 through the atomizing channel 7. The atomizing channel 7 is equipped with an atomizing control valve 8-1, which is used to control whether the vapor generator and the mixed liquid storage box 3 are connected, and to adjust the atomization amount of the fragrance-enhancing detergent.

[0060] An atomizer is installed inside an atomization chamber to atomize or heat and vaporize the mixture inside the chamber to generate vapor mist.

[0061] The atomizing head 9 is connected to the atomizing chamber to deliver vapor from the atomizing chamber and apply it into the clothing treatment cylinder 1.

[0062] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the mist generating device includes a fan for blowing air onto the atomizing head 9, further enabling the mist generated by the atomizing head 9 to vaporize into smaller particles and effectively blow them onto the surface of the clothing. Of course, for clothing processing equipment equipped with a drying system, a drying fan can be used.

[0063] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the mixture storage box 3 further includes:

[0064] The inlet of the mixed liquid storage box 3 is connected to an inlet pipe 10, which is equipped with an inlet control valve 8-2. The inlet of the mixed liquid storage box 3 is connected to the second outlet of the detergent storage chamber via a supply channel, which is equipped with a supply control valve 8-3. The opening of the supply control valve 8-3 and the inlet control valve 8-2 can be controlled to adjust the flow ratio of the fragrance-enhancing detergent to the incoming water. Normally, the supply control valve 8-3 of the mixed liquid storage device is in a closed state. When the user selects the "fragrance enhancement" auxiliary function in the washing mode, the supply control valve 8-3 opens, and the detergent, under gravity, enters the mixed liquid storage device along the sloping surface. When the equipped liquid level probe sensor detects that the detergent level has reached the preset height h1, i.e., the preset weight m1, the supply control valve 8-3 closes, and the detergent for washing is distributed to the mixed liquid of the atomizing device through the valve.

[0065] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the dispensing component further includes: a drain channel 11 and a drain pump 12. One end of the drain channel 11 is connected to the mixed liquid storage box 3, and the other end is connected to the drain pump 12, for discharging the mixed liquid remaining in the mixed liquid storage box 3. A drain control valve 8-4 is provided on the drain channel 11 for controlling whether the drain channel 11 is open or closed.

[0066] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the first outlet of the fragrance-enhancing detergent storage chamber is connected to the liquid dispensing channel 13. A liquid dispensing control valve is provided at the first outlet or on the liquid dispensing channel 13 to control the amount of fragrance-enhancing detergent directly added to the clothing processing chamber. If fragrance enhancement is not required, odorless detergent can be added to the clothing processing chamber, or if a significant fragrance enhancement is not needed, a portion of the fragrance-enhancing detergent can be directly added to the clothing processing chamber. The detergent box 2 is provided with a water supply channel that does not flow through the fragrance-enhancing detergent storage chamber. The water supply channel is used to introduce water into the clothing processing chamber when washing clothes.

[0067] The flavoring process of the above preferred embodiment is given below:

[0068] At the start of the wash cycle, water begins to enter the detergent dispenser. Water also enters the mixed liquid storage device through the inlet pipe, which is equipped with an inlet control valve 8-2. Based on m1 and the preset dilution ratio, L1 liters of water are added to dilute the detergent entering the atomizing device. The diluted water flows into the atomizing chamber. After waiting for the preset time t1 of the corresponding program, the heating device is activated to heat the water and detergent mixture in the mixed liquid storage device. The stirring motor is started to stir the mixture for t2 seconds to fully mix and activate the fragrance. Heating stops after reaching the preset temperature T1. At this point, the washing process reaches its final stage: the post-wash shaking stage. The atomizing device 11 is powered on and begins operation, and the drying fan starts simultaneously, atomizing the water and detergent mixture in the atomizing chamber and spraying it onto the surface of the washed clothes, thus enhancing the fragrance. The atomization control valve 8-1 is controlled according to the set L2 to atomize a quantitative amount of mixed liquid for fragrance enhancement. In order to avoid the detergent in the mixed liquid remaining in the mixed liquid storage device from separating and settling after settling, which would damage the atomizer, after the fragrance enhancement program is completed, the small amount of residual liquid in the mixed liquid storage device needs to be discharged from the housing of the clothing processing equipment through the drain valve 8-4 and the drain pipe.

[0069] Example 2

[0070] This invention provides a method for adding fragrance to clothing processing equipment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the fragrance enhancement method includes: adding detergent to the mixture storage box through the detergent box to a preset liquid level; adding water to the mixture storage box through the water inlet to a preset water volume; forming a mixture of detergent and water in the mixture storage box; controlling the vapor generator to atomize or vaporize the mixture in the mixture storage box to generate fragrance-enhancing detergent vapor, and applying it to the clothing treatment chamber of the clothing treatment drum.

[0071] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the fragrance enhancement method further includes: controlling the amount of fragrance-enhancing detergent supplied from the detergent dispenser to the mixed liquid storage box, the amount of water entering the mixed liquid storage box through the water inlet, and the ratio between the fragrance-enhancing detergent dosage and the water volume, according to user requirements and / or clothing material requirements. For example, the liquid supply control valve is usually closed. When the user selects the "fragrance enhancement" auxiliary function in the washing mode, the liquid supply control valve opens, and the detergent, under the influence of gravity, enters the mixed liquid storage box along the sloping surface. The liquid level probe in the mixed liquid storage box is used to detect the detergent height until a preset height h is reached, i.e., a preset weight m is reached, at which point the liquid supply control valve closes. The water inlet control valve is then opened, and water enters the mixed liquid storage box through the water inlet pipe. According to the preset dilution ratio of m and water, water L1 enters the mixed liquid storage box to dilute the detergent.

[0072] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the aroma enhancement method further includes: heating the mixture to activate the aroma using a heater placed inside the mixture storage box; and / or, homogenizing the mixture by stirring a stirring mechanism. For example, after waiting for a preset time t1, the heater is turned on to heat the mixture in the mixture storage box until the temperature reaches a preset temperature T, and then the heating is stopped; while heating, the stirring mechanism can be activated to stir the mixture for t2, so that the aroma of the mixture is fully activated.

[0073] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, during the post-wash shake-out stage of the washing process, the drying fan of the garment processing equipment is turned on. Simultaneously, hot air is applied to the garment processing drum while the mist generator applies the generated fragrance-enhancing detergent mist. This allows the fragrance-enhancing detergent mist to be applied to the surface of the clothes inside the drum under the action of the hot air from the drying fan. For example, during the post-wash shake-out stage of the washing process, the fully heated and stirred mixture flows into the atomization chamber of the mist generator. The atomizer atomizes the mixture to generate mist, and the atomizing head delivers the mist from the atomization chamber and applies it to the garment processing drum. The atomization control valve controls the amount according to a set setting, and the atomized mixture L2 is used to enhance the odor of the clothes. If the garment processing equipment is a washer-dryer, the drying fan and the mist generator operate simultaneously. If the garment processing equipment is a washing machine, a fan is added to the mist generator to carry the mist onto the surface of the clothes and reduce the mist particle size.

[0074] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, in order to avoid the residual mixture in the mixture storage box from separating and precipitating after long-term standing, which could damage the vapor generator, the small amount of residual mixture in the mixture storage box needs to be discharged from the clothing processing equipment through the venting control valve and venting channel after the clothing odor removal is completed.

[0075] In summary, this invention achieves the effect of enhancing the fragrance of clothes by utilizing the user's habit of adding detergent without adding an overly complex structure. The liquid in the atomizing chamber is a fully mixed and diluted detergent to a certain proportion. Heating fully releases the detergent's aroma, and after atomization, it forms extremely fine droplets that are sprayed onto the clothes. This avoids excessive detergent residue and prevents the clothes from being over-rinsed and losing their fragrance, greatly improving the user experience.

[0076] Example 3

[0077] This invention provides an electronic device, which includes:

[0078] Memory, used to store one or more computer instructions;

[0079] A processor is used to call and execute computer instructions in memory to implement the flavoring method described in the above embodiments.

[0080] Example 4

[0081] This invention provides a garment processing device with the dispensing component described in the above embodiments. Specifically, the garment processing device can be a washer-dryer or a washing machine. If the dispensing component is used in a washing machine, a fan needs to be added to the atomizing device to evenly spray the atomized fragrance gas onto the garment. If it is a washer-dryer with a drying function, a drying fan installed in the drying duct can be used directly. Furthermore, a heater in the drying duct can be appropriately activated depending on the water temperature to allow the vapor to more fully form particles of a smaller size, enabling the garment to better absorb the fragrance.

[0082] In addition, machines with steam treatment generators can be used to replace the atomizing chamber.

[0083] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the garment processing device has the electronic device described in Embodiment 3 above.

[0084] Therefore, this application proposes a clever method to enhance the fragrance of clothing by utilizing a fragrance additive. This effect can be easily achieved by simply adding it to the dispensing component. Thus, the fragrance-enhancing dispensing component provided by this application eliminates the need for user-added fragrance and additional fragrance generating devices. It directly utilizes the fragrance-enhancing detergent in a regular washing cycle to achieve the desired fragrance effect on clothing. This method is simple, convenient, economical, and provides a relatively long-lasting fragrance.

[0085] Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure have been specifically shown and described above. It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the detailed structures, arrangements, or implementations described herein; rather, this disclosure is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements contained within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
