Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of clothing processing equipment, specifically, it relates to a control method for clothing processing equipment and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, various smart devices are widely used in all aspects of life. Taking washing machines as an example, as one of the essential household appliances in modern families, washing machines are becoming increasingly diversified in their functions to meet various user needs as much as possible.
[0003] Traditional washing machines work by using water flow to create a mixture of detergent or washing powder, which is then added to the washing tub. Due to the influence of external temperature and the activity of the detergent, it takes a relatively long time for the detergent to completely dissolve in the water and begin effective washing. The inefficient washing process before this point also consumes energy and time, resulting in clothes not being cleaned thoroughly even after a long wash. Furthermore, most existing washing machines only add an appropriate amount of detergent or washing powder before the wash begins, and cannot provide a long-term, circulating, and fully mixed detergent solution. When clothes are heavily soiled, this leads to poor washing results.
[0004] Furthermore, traditional washing machines lack the function of recycling wastewater, resulting in a large amount of water consumption for washing. The prerequisite for recycling wastewater is purification. Existing purification methods mostly employ chemical purification, which involves adding chemical reagents to react with pollutants in the wastewater, thereby purifying the water. However, this purification method often leaves chemical residues, which can have adverse effects on human health over time.
[0005] Therefore, how to optimize the purification of washing wastewater so that it can be recycled and can provide a continuous supply of well-mixed washing liquid for a long time is an urgent problem to be solved.
[0006] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a control method for a clothing processing device. By adding a liquid addition program, the circulating washing water can provide a circulating and evenly mixed washing liquid to the washing tub for a long time, which effectively improves the washing effect of the clothes. At the same time, the washing water is purified and reused, which effectively saves water resources.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a control method for a garment processing device, comprising:
[0009] S1: Start the washing program;
[0010] S2: Detect the turbidity value of the washing water in the washing tub;
[0011] S3: Determine if the turbidity value of the washing water is greater than or equal to the preset turbidity value;
[0012] S4: Execute the liquid addition procedure: The washing water is delivered to the circulation pipeline, the washing liquid is added to the circulation pipeline to obtain a mixture, the mixture is purified to obtain purified water containing the washing liquid, and the purified water containing the washing liquid is delivered to the washing tank.
[0013] Furthermore, step S4 includes: delivering washing water to the circulation pipeline, and using the Venturi region of the circulation pipeline to siphon the stored washing liquid into the circulation pipeline using the negative pressure of the Venturi pump to obtain a mixed liquid.
[0014] In the above scheme, when the flowing washing water passes through the Venturi region, the Venturi effect is generated. The negative pressure of the Venturi pump automatically adds the washing liquid to the circulation pipeline. During the flow process, the washing liquid is evenly mixed with the washing water in the circulation pipeline, which plays a role in premixing the washing liquid.
[0015] Furthermore, step S4 also includes: transporting the mixture to the clean water area, where the mixture undergoes cyclone separation to separate and discharge pollutant particles, leaving purified water containing washing liquid.
[0016] In the above scheme, the mixed liquid separates and discharges pollutant particles through cyclone separation, thereby obtaining purified water containing washing liquid. This purification method is a purely physical purification method, which does not require the use of any chemical reagents and does not involve any chemical reaction, thus avoiding chemical residues. Compared with chemical purification methods, it is healthier, and has a shorter purification time, better purification effect, and higher efficiency.
[0017] Meanwhile, during the cyclone separation process, the detergent and washing water in the mixture are mixed more thoroughly, which promotes foaming. The purified water containing detergent foam can perform a fine wash on the clothes after entering the washing tub, greatly improving the washing effect.
[0018] Furthermore, after step S4, step S5 is also included: detecting the water level in the washing tub, determining that the water level is lower than the preset water level, adding water to the washing tub until the preset water level is reached.
[0019] In the above solution, the process of adding water to the washing tub dilutes the washing water, which reduces the turbidity of the washing water and improves the washing effect. On the other hand, it prevents the concentration of detergent from becoming too high after adding detergent, thus avoiding affecting the subsequent rinsing effect.
[0020] Furthermore, step S6 is included: continue to detect the turbidity value of the washing water in the washing tub, and if the turbidity value of the washing water is greater than or equal to the preset turbidity value, return to step S4, and continue until the turbidity value of the washing water is less than the preset turbidity value, then end the liquid addition process.
[0021] Furthermore, step S3 also includes: when it is determined that the turbidity value of the washing water is less than the preset turbidity value, continue to execute the washing program until the turbidity value of the washing water is greater than or equal to the preset turbidity value, and then execute step S5.
[0022] Furthermore, step S3 also includes: when the detection washing time reaches the preset time and it is determined that the turbidity value of the washing water is still less than the preset turbidity value, the washing program is terminated.
[0023] Furthermore, in step S2, when it is determined that the washing time has reached half of the preset time, the turbidity value of the washing water in the washing tub is controlled and detected.
[0024] Furthermore, in step S4, the amount of washing water delivered to the circulation pipeline each time is the amount of water used to reach the preset water level, or less than or equal to half of the amount of water used to reach the preset water level.
[0025] In the above scheme, when the washing program and the liquid replenishment program are not executed simultaneously, the amount of washing water discharged can be the amount of water used to reach the preset water level, i.e., all the washing water is discharged, or a portion of the washing water is discharged; when the washing program and the liquid replenishment program are executed simultaneously, a portion of the washing water is discharged, and the amount of washing water discharged is less than or equal to half of the amount of water used to reach the preset water level, so as to avoid insufficient washing water causing wear and tear on the clothes.
[0026] A garment processing device employs the control method described above for a garment processing device.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0028] This invention improves the washing effect of clothes by adding a liquid addition program, which utilizes the circulating washing water to provide a continuous and evenly mixed washing liquid to the washing tub, while purifying and reusing the washing water to effectively save water resources.
[0029] In this invention, the washing water generates a Venturi effect when it passes through the Venturi region. The negative pressure of the Venturi pump automatically adds the washing liquid to the circulation pipeline. During the flow process, the washing liquid mixes evenly with the washing water in the circulation pipeline, which plays a role in premixing the washing liquid.
[0030] The mixture separates and removes pollutant particles through cyclone separation, thus obtaining purified water containing washing liquid. This purification method is a purely physical purification method that does not require the use of any chemical reagents or chemical reactions, avoiding chemical residues. Compared with chemical purification methods, it is healthier, and has a shorter purification time, better purification effect, and higher efficiency.
[0031] Meanwhile, during the cyclone separation process, the detergent and washing water in the mixture are mixed more thoroughly, which promotes foaming. The purified water containing detergent foam can perform a fine wash on the clothes after entering the washing tub, greatly improving the washing effect.
[0032] During the process of adding water to the washing tub, the washing water is diluted, which reduces the turbidity of the washing water and helps to improve the washing effect. On the other hand, it prevents the concentration of detergent from being too high after adding detergent, which would affect the subsequent rinsing effect.
[0033] This invention provides a control method for a garment processing device. By purifying the washing water for recycling, and automatically adding washing liquid to the washing tub through the recycled washing water, a circulating and evenly mixed washing liquid can be provided for a long time to perform a fine wash on the clothes. It has the characteristics of good washing effect and energy saving.
[0034] This invention provides a garment processing device employing the control method described above, which features a simple structure and low cost.
[0035] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0041] It should be noted that these accompanying drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation
[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention are described clearly and completely below with reference to some embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that the following embodiments are only used to explain the technical solutions of this invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention. For example, although this application describes the steps of the method of this invention in a specific order, these orders are not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can perform the steps in different orders without departing from the basic principles of this invention.
[0043] This invention provides a control method for a garment processing device, comprising:
[0044] S1: Start the washing program;
[0045] S2: Detect the turbidity value of the washing water in the washing tub;
[0046] S3: Determine if the turbidity value of the washing water is greater than or equal to the preset turbidity value;
[0047] S4: Execute the liquid addition procedure: The washing water is delivered to the circulation pipeline, the washing liquid is added to the circulation pipeline to obtain a mixture, the mixture is purified to obtain purified water containing the washing liquid, and the purified water containing the washing liquid is delivered to the washing tank.
[0048] In step S2, when it is determined that the washing time has reached half of the preset time, the turbidity value of the washing water in the washing tub is controlled and detected.
[0049] In this implementation scheme, the turbidity value of the washing water can be detected in real time, at intervals, or after the washing time has reached a certain preset time. Preferably, the detection begins when the washing time has reached half of the preset time.
[0050] Step S3 further includes: when it is determined that the turbidity value of the washing water is less than the preset turbidity value, continue to execute the washing program until the turbidity value of the washing water is greater than or equal to the preset turbidity value, and then execute step S4.
[0051] Step S3 further includes: when the washing time reaches the preset time and the turbidity value of the washing water is still less than the preset turbidity value, the washing program is terminated.
[0052] Step S4 includes: delivering washing water to a circulation pipeline, and using the Venturi region of the circulation pipeline to siphon the stored washing liquid into the circulation pipeline using the negative pressure of the Venturi pump to obtain a mixed liquid.
[0053] In this embodiment, when the flowing washing water passes through the Venturi region, the Venturi effect is generated, and the washing liquid is automatically added to the circulation pipeline by using the negative pressure of the Venturi. During the flow process, the washing liquid is mixed evenly with the washing water in the circulation pipeline, which plays a role in premixing the washing liquid.
[0054] Step S4 further includes: transporting the mixture to the purified water area, where the mixture undergoes cyclone separation to separate and discharge pollutant particles, leaving purified water containing washing liquid.
[0055] In this implementation scheme, the mixed liquid separates and discharges pollutant particles through cyclone separation, thereby obtaining purified water containing washing liquid. This purification method is a purely physical purification method, which does not require the use of any chemical reagents and does not involve any chemical reaction, thus avoiding chemical residues. Compared with chemical purification methods, it is healthier, and has a shorter purification time, better purification effect, and higher efficiency.
[0056] Meanwhile, during the cyclone separation process, the detergent and washing water in the mixture are mixed more thoroughly, which promotes foaming. The purified water containing detergent foam can perform a fine wash on the clothes after entering the washing tub, greatly improving the washing effect.
[0057] In step S4, the amount of washing water delivered to the circulation pipeline each time is the amount of water used to reach the preset water level, or less than or equal to half of the amount of water used to reach the preset water level.
[0058] In this implementation scheme, when the washing program and the liquid adding program are not executed simultaneously, the amount of washing water discharged can be the amount of water used to reach the preset water level, i.e., all the washing water is discharged, or it can be a portion of the washing water is discharged; when the washing program and the liquid adding program are executed simultaneously, a portion of the washing water is discharged, and the amount of washing water discharged is less than or equal to half of the amount of water used to reach the preset water level, so as to avoid insufficient washing water causing wear and tear on the clothes.
[0059] Step S4 is followed by step S5: detect the water level in the washing tub, determine that the water level is lower than the preset water level, add water to the washing tub until the preset water level is reached.
[0060] In this implementation plan, the process of adding water to the washing tub dilutes the washing water, which reduces the turbidity of the washing water and improves the washing effect. On the other hand, it prevents the concentration of detergent from becoming too high after adding detergent, thus avoiding affecting the subsequent rinsing effect.
[0061] It also includes step S6: continue to detect the turbidity value of the washing water in the washing tub, and if the turbidity value of the washing water is greater than or equal to the preset turbidity value, return to step S4, and continue until the turbidity value of the washing water is less than the preset turbidity value, then end the liquid addition process.
[0062] It should be noted that the liquid addition program will only be executed during the washing process, and only when the turbidity value of the washing water is determined to be greater than or equal to the preset turbidity value. The liquid addition program will not be executed during the rinsing process.
