Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, and in particular to a clothing processing equipment with drying function and a drying control method. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, clothing drying equipment with a drying function can easily achieve good drying results when drying smaller items, as these items can rotate with the drying drum. However, it is less effective when drying larger items with higher water absorption, such as pillowcases, plush toys, and shoes. This is because these items experience uneven heating during the tumbling process within the drum, reducing drying efficiency and prolonging drying time. Furthermore, the uneven heating due to the material properties of these items can cause damage or wrinkles in some areas due to excessive heat. Additionally, the continuous friction during rotation within the drum can easily damage the surface of these items.

[0003] In related technologies, drying racks are used to dry special items. However, after the items are fixed on the drying rack, they remain stationary. The hot air vents of the garment processing equipment are generally located on the upper side of the door seal, and the position of the hot air vents is fixed. During drying, the side of the items facing the hot air vent on the drying rack may be dry, while the side facing away from the hot air vent may remain damp, resulting in poor drying uniformity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the problem of poor drying uniformity when drying special items in related technologies, the first aspect of this invention proposes a garment processing device with a drying function, the garment processing device comprising:

[0005] Clothing handling drum;

[0006] A clamping mechanism is fixed inside the garment processing drum and can rotate with the garment processing drum. The clamping mechanism includes multiple telescopic components, and each telescopic component has an inflation chamber inside. The inflation chamber can be controlled to extract or inflate air to extend or retract the telescopic components so that the clothes to be dried inside the garment processing drum can be clamped between at least two of the telescopic components.

[0007] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism is disposed at the bottom of the garment processing tube, and the plurality of telescopic components are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the bottom of the garment processing tube. When the plurality of telescopic components are extended, the extension direction of the telescopic components is parallel to the axial direction of the garment processing tube.

[0008] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment is further provided with a suction mechanism, the suction port of which is connected to the inflation chamber. The suction mechanism can extend the telescopic components by inflating the inflation chamber, so that the garment to be dried can be clamped between at least two of the telescopic components. The suction mechanism can also retract the telescopic components by deflating the inflation chamber.

[0009] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism further includes a buffer component disposed inside the garment processing tube. The buffer component includes a buffer cavity, and the plurality of telescopic components are disposed in the buffer component. The inflation cavity is connected to the buffer cavity, and the suction port of the suction mechanism is connected to the buffer cavity.

[0010] In some embodiments, the volume of the buffer cavity remains unchanged during both the suction and inflation actions of the suction mechanism.

[0011] And / or, during the suction action, the telescopic component can retract into the interior of the buffer cavity.

[0012] In some embodiments, the telescopic component includes a telescopic rod, the rod body of which includes a corrugated structure, the corrugated structure enclosing the inflation cavity;

[0013] The buffer component has multiple recesses on the side away from the clothing processing tube. Each of the multiple recesses corresponds to one of the multiple telescopic components. The corrugated structure is disposed in the recess. When the telescopic component is extended, the corrugated structure extends out of the recess. When the telescopic component is contracted, the corrugated structure contracts into the recess.

[0014] In some embodiments, the buffer component is disposed at the bottom of the garment processing drum, the garment processing device includes a rotating shaft connected to the bottom of the garment processing drum, the rotating shaft is used to drive the garment processing drum to rotate, the interior of the rotating shaft has an airflow channel arranged along its axial direction, the suction mechanism includes an air pump and an airflow pipe connected to the air pump, one end of the airflow channel is connected to the buffer chamber, the other end is connected to the airflow pipe, and the rotating shaft can rotate relative to the airflow pipe.

[0015] In some embodiments, a bearing is further provided between the rotating shaft and the airflow pipe, the outer ring of the bearing being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the airflow channel, and the inner ring of the bearing being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the airflow pipe.

[0016] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a pressure sensor, which is disposed in the airflow duct and used to detect the air pressure in the airflow duct.

[0017] The garment processing equipment also includes a control device configured to control the inflation state of the telescopic component based on the air pressure value detected by the air pressure sensor.

[0018] A second aspect of the present invention provides a drying control method for controlling any of the garment processing devices with drying functions proposed in the first aspect of the present invention, wherein the garment processing device has a special drying mode, and the drying control method includes:

[0019] According to the user's special drying mode command, the suction mechanism of the clothing processing equipment is controlled to inflate the air chambers of at least two of the multiple telescopic components until the air pressure in the air chambers of the at least two telescopic components reaches the set air pressure range.

[0020] Once the drying conditions are met, the suction mechanism is controlled to draw air into the air chambers of the at least two telescopic components.

[0021] The technical solution of this invention can include the following beneficial effects: By setting a telescopic component inside the garment processing drum and inflating the air chamber of the telescopic component to extend it, the special items to be dried can be clamped and fixed between at least two telescopic components. During the rotation of the garment processing drum, the telescopic component will rotate with the drum, so that the clothes also rotate with the drum without friction against the inner wall of the drum, thereby ensuring a uniform drying effect for the special items and preventing damage caused by rolling friction between the special items and the inner wall of the drum. In addition, after the drying process of the special items is completed, the air chamber of the telescopic component is deflated to retract it, so as not to affect the drying of other regular items. Therefore, the garment processing equipment of this application can uniformly dry regular items and special items simultaneously, improving the user experience.

[0033] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0034] The following describes this embodiment in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and examples can be combined with each other.

[0035] According to an exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a clothing processing device with a drying function. The clothing processing device can be one that simultaneously has washing and drying functions, or it can be one that only has a drying function. The clothing processing device includes a clothing processing drum 1, a clamping mechanism 2, and a suction mechanism 4. The clothing processing drum 1 is rotatable during drying or washing. The clothing processing drum 1 includes a clothing inlet, which can be located at the top of the clothing processing device (in which case the clothing processing drum 1 is vertically positioned) or located on the side of the clothing processing device (in which case the clothing processing drum 1 is horizontally positioned).

[0036] The clamping mechanism 2 is fixed inside the clothes processing drum 1 and can rotate with the clothes processing drum 1. The clamping mechanism 2 includes multiple telescopic components 21, for example, more than 2 and less than 8. Each telescopic component 21 includes an inflation chamber 211, which can be controlled to deflate or inflate to extend or retract the telescopic component 21, so that the clothes to be dried inside the clothes processing drum 1 can be clamped between at least two telescopic components 21. The user can choose to clamp and fix the clothes to be dried between any two adjacent telescopic components 21, or clamp and fix them in the space between two or more telescopic components 21, depending on the structure or volume of the clothes to be dried. Multiple telescopic components 21 can be controlled to inflate simultaneously to achieve simultaneous extension, or at least two telescopic components 21 can be controlled to inflate to achieve partial extension.

[0037] This embodiment does not limit the location of the telescopic components 21. In one example (not shown in the example figure), multiple telescopic components 21 are disposed on the side wall of the clothing processing drum 1. When the multiple telescopic components 21 are extended, their extension direction is along the radial direction of the clothing processing drum 1. In another example, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 Multiple telescopic components 21 are disposed on the bottom wall of the clothing processing drum 1. When the multiple telescopic components 21 are extended, the extension direction of the multiple telescopic components 21 is along the axial direction of the clothing processing drum 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, a telescopic component 21 is installed inside the garment processing drum 1, and the air chamber 211 of the telescopic component 21 is inflated by the suction mechanism 4 to extend the telescopic component 21. The special item to be dried can be clamped and fixed between at least two telescopic components 21. During the rotation of the garment processing drum 1, the telescopic component 21 rotates with the drum 1, causing the garment to rotate with the drum 1 without friction against the inner wall of the drum 1. This ensures a uniform drying effect for the special item and prevents damage caused by rolling friction between the special item and the inner wall of the drum 1. Furthermore, after the drying process for the special item is completed, the suction mechanism 4 deflates the air chamber 211 of the telescopic component 21 to retract the component, preventing it from affecting the drying of other regular items. Therefore, the garment processing equipment of this application can simultaneously and uniformly dry both regular and special items, improving the user experience.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping mechanism 2 is disposed at the bottom of the clothes processing drum 1. When the multiple telescopic components 21 are extended, their extension direction is parallel to the axis of the clothes processing drum 1. By placing the telescopic components 21 at the bottom of the drum, sufficient extension space is provided, thereby achieving a better fixing effect for special items such as pillow cores and large toys. There are various ways to arrange the multiple telescopic components 21 at the bottom of the drum. For example, the multiple telescopic components 21 can be arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the bottom of the drum, or arranged in an array on the bottom of the drum, or arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the bottom of the clothes processing drum 1. In a preferred embodiment, the interval between any two adjacent telescopic components 21 is not exactly the same, thus achieving a good fixing effect for special items of different sizes and specifications.

[0040] In this embodiment, the telescopic component 21 can be inflated and deflated via an external suction mechanism 4, or the suction mechanism 4 can be provided within the garment processing equipment to perform the suction and deflation of the telescopic component 21. In one example, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4The garment processing equipment includes a suction mechanism 4, which can inflate the inflation chamber 211 to extend the telescopic member 21, and simultaneously depress air into the inflation chamber 211 to retract the telescopic member 21. The suction port of the suction mechanism 4 is connected to the inflation chamber 211. By inflating the inflation chamber 211, the suction mechanism 4 extends the telescopic member 21, allowing the garment to be held between at least two telescopic members 21. By depressing the inflation chamber 211, the suction mechanism 4 retracts the telescopic member 21. The suction mechanism 4 can be controlled to simultaneously inflate or depress the inflation chambers 211 of multiple telescopic members 21, or simultaneously inflate or depress the inflation chambers 211 of at least two of the multiple telescopic members 21. In one example (not shown in the example figure), valves are respectively provided on the airflow passage between the suction port of the suction mechanism 4 and the inflation chambers 211 of the multiple telescopic components 21. The simultaneous inflation of the inflation chambers 211 of the multiple telescopic components 21 and the simultaneous inflation of the inflation chambers 211 of at least two of the multiple telescopic components 21 are achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the valves on different airflow passages.

[0041] In this embodiment, the inflation chamber 211 of the telescopic component 21 can be directly connected to the suction mechanism 4, or it can be indirectly connected to the suction mechanism 4 through other components. In one example, such as... Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figures 4-6 As shown, the clamping mechanism 2 also includes a buffer component 22, which is disposed inside the garment processing cylinder 1. The buffer component 22 includes a buffer cavity 221, multiple telescopic components 21 are disposed in the buffer component 22, and the inflation cavity 211 communicates with the buffer cavity 221. The suction port of the suction mechanism 4 communicates with the buffer cavity 221. The buffer component 22 can be disposed on the cylinder wall of the garment processing cylinder 1 or on the cylinder bottom of the garment processing cylinder 1. The structure of the buffer component 22 can be flexibly designed according to its placement position on the garment processing cylinder 1. For example, when the buffer component 22 is disposed on the cylinder wall of the garment processing cylinder 1, the buffer component 22 has a ring-shaped structure. When the buffer component 22 is disposed on the cylinder bottom of the garment processing cylinder 1, the buffer component 22 has a disc-shaped structure, and the disc-shaped structure fits against the cylinder bottom. The buffer component 22 can be fixed inside the garment processing cylinder 1 by snap-fit, plug-in, connector connection, welding, or adhesive. In one example, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The buffer component 22 is disc-shaped and is disposed at the bottom of the clothing processing tube 1. The size of the buffer component 22 is adapted to the size of the bottom of the tube. The side of the buffer component 22 near the clothing processing tube 1 is in contact with the bottom of the tube. The side of the buffer component 22 near the clothing processing tube 1 is also provided with a buckle 222. The clothing processing tube 1 is provided with a buckle hole. The buffer component 22 is fixed by engaging the buckle 222 with the buckle hole.

[0042] In one example (not shown in the example figure), the buffer component 22 is made of a flexible material. When the suction mechanism 4 inflates, the volume of the buffer cavity 221 will increase until it reaches its maximum volume. When the suction mechanism 4 deflates, the volume of the buffer cavity 221 will decrease until it reaches its minimum volume, thereby freeing up the internal space of the clothing processing tube 1.

[0043] In one example, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The buffer component 22 is made of a rigid material. During the suction and inflation actions of the suction mechanism 4, the volume of the buffer cavity 221 remains constant, thus shortening the inflation time for the multiple telescopic components 21. Simultaneously, through structural design, the telescopic components 21 can retract into the buffer cavity 221 during the suction action of the suction mechanism 4, reducing the risk of damage to the multiple telescopic components 21 when the clothes handling drum 1 is processing laundry or drying regular clothes. In this case, the telescopic component 21 can be made of a flexible material with an air bladder rod to achieve the telescopic effect, or it can be designed as a corrugated structure 212 to achieve the telescopic effect. In one example, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 The telescopic component 21 includes a telescopic rod, the rod body of which includes a corrugated structure 212. For example, the rod body is a single-layer or multi-layer corrugated tube. When gas is injected, the corrugated tube of the telescopic rod expands and extends under air pressure, forming a rod-shaped rod. Because it has a certain degree of toughness, it can clamp special items to be dried, such as plush toys, pillow cores, shoes, etc. The buffer component 22 has multiple recesses 223 on the side away from the clothes processing drum 1. The multiple recesses 223 are arranged one-to-one with the multiple telescopic components 21. The corrugated structure 212 is arranged in the recesses 223, and the air chamber 211 is connected to the buffer chamber 221. When the telescopic component 21 is extended, the corrugated structure 212 extends out of the recesses 223. When the telescopic component 21 is contracted, the corrugated structure 212 contracts into the recesses 223, thereby realizing the storage of the telescopic component 21 and preventing the telescopic component 21 from leaking out and damaging the clothes in the drum when the telescopic component 21 is not in use.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the buffer component 22 is disposed at the bottom of the garment processing cylinder 1. The garment processing device includes a rotating shaft 3, which is connected to the bottom of the garment processing cylinder 1. The rotating shaft 3 is used to drive the garment processing cylinder 1 to rotate. The interior of the rotating shaft 3 has an airflow channel 31 arranged along its axial direction. The suction mechanism 4 includes an air pump 41 and an airflow pipe 42 connected to the air pump 41. One end of the airflow channel 31 is connected to the buffer chamber 221, and the other end is connected to the airflow pipe 42. The rotating shaft 3 can rotate relative to the airflow pipe 42. In this embodiment, by setting an airflow channel 31 inside the rotating shaft 3 to realize the airflow passage between the buffer chamber 221 and the suction mechanism 4, the pipe arrangement is reduced and the reliability of the airflow passage between the buffer chamber 221 and the suction mechanism 4 is improved.

[0045] In some embodiments, a bearing 6 is also provided between the rotating shaft 3 and the airflow pipe 42. The outer ring of the bearing 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the airflow channel 31, and the inner ring of the bearing 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the airflow pipe 42. In this embodiment, the relative movement between the rotating shaft 3 and the airflow pipe 42 is realized through the bearing 6, so that the rotation state of the clothing treatment drum 1 will not affect the suction mechanism 4, and the airflow passage between the buffer chamber 221 and the suction mechanism 4 can also be ensured. In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The inner wall of the airflow channel 31 is provided with a stepped structure 32, and the side of the bearing 6 away from the air pump 41 cooperates with the stepped structure 32 to limit the bearing 6.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, bearing 6 has sealing rings on both sides along the axial direction of shaft 3 to ensure a good sealing effect during the rotation of shaft 3. (Refer to...) Figure 3 ,as well as Figure 3 As shown, a first sealing ring 7 is provided on the left side of the bearing 6, and a second sealing ring 8 is provided on the right side of the bearing 6. The thickness of the second sealing ring 8 is greater than that of the bearing 6, so as to increase the friction between the second sealing ring 8 and the inner wall of the airflow channel 31 and the outer wall of the airflow pipe 42, thereby further ensuring the sealing effect.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the garment processing equipment also includes a pressure sensor 5, which is installed in the airflow pipe 42 to detect the air pressure in the airflow pipe 42. The suction mechanism 4 can be controlled to determine whether to inflate the air chamber 211 of the telescopic component 21 based on the detection result of the pressure sensor 5, thereby ensuring the strength of the telescopic component 21 and ensuring the clamping and fixing effect on the dried items.

[0048] According to an exemplary embodiment, this embodiment proposes a drying control method for controlling any of the above-mentioned clothing processing devices with drying functions. The clothing processing device has a special drying mode for drying special items. The suction mechanism 4 inflates the air chamber 211 of the telescopic component 21 to extend the telescopic component 21 and clamp and fix the special items.

[0049] Figure 7 This is a drying process diagram of a clothing processing apparatus with a drying function according to an exemplary embodiment, with reference to... Figure 7 The drying control method includes the following steps:

[0050] S71. According to the user's special drying mode instruction, control the suction mechanism 4 to inflate the air chambers 211 of at least two of the multiple telescopic components 21 until the air pressure of the air chambers 211 of at least two telescopic components 21 reaches the set air pressure range.

[0051] S72. When the drying conditions are met, control the suction mechanism 4 to draw air into the air chambers 211 of at least two telescopic components 21.

[0052] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 8 The control flow diagram shows that the controller of the garment processing equipment first stores the minimum air pressure Pa and the maximum air pressure Pb when the telescopic component 21 is in the extended state. When the user selects a special drying mode, the air pump 41 of the suction mechanism 4 starts working, and the suction mechanism 4 inflates the air chambers 211 of at least two telescopic components 21, causing the at least two telescopic components 21 to expand and extend inside the garment processing drum 1. When P1 < Pa, the suction mechanism 4 continues to inflate the air chambers 211 of at least two telescopic components 21 until the air pressure of the air chambers 211 of at least two telescopic components 21 reaches the set air pressure range, for example, Pa ≤ P1 ≤ Pb. At this time, it indicates that the extension length and strength of the telescopic component 21 are appropriate, and the suction mechanism 4 stops working.

[0053] After the user places the items to be dried into the clothes handling drum 1, which is held in place by at least two extended telescopic components 21, the drying process begins. Once the set drying time is reached, it is determined whether the items are dry. If they are dry, the drying process ends, and the user removes the items. At this time, the drying suction mechanism 4 performs an air extraction action, removing gas from the inflation chamber 211 until the telescopic components 21 are retracted to their minimum state, ending the drying process. If the clothes are not detected as dry, it is determined whether the number of drying cycles (n ≥ n) is true. m n m The maximum number of drying cycles is set when n < n mIf n = n + 1, then the drying cycle increases by one, and the garment processing equipment continues drying; if n ≥ n m If the drying time is exceeded, the user is reminded to check whether the items to be dried are dry or whether the clothing processing equipment is malfunctioning. The drying process ends and the user waits to remove the items. The suction mechanism 4 then performs an air extraction action to remove the gas from the air chamber 211 until the telescopic component 21 is retracted to its minimum state, at which point the drying process ends.
