[0004] With the improvement of people's living standards, clothes dryers are becoming increasingly common. In related technologies, when using foam cleaning programs to treat clothes, typically only foam is introduced into the clothes treatment drum. To ensure the foam fully contacts the clothes, effectively soaks and removes stains, and to provide a humid environment within the drum, a large amount of foam is usually needed to soak the clothes. However, the foam's wetting power on clothes is limited, hindering the complete soaking and dissolution of stains. Furthermore, excessive foam application can lead to foam accumulation on the clothes, preventing some foam from directly contacting the garment and thus rendering it ineffective. This wastes foam and negatively impacts the cleaning efficiency of the clothes treatment equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0032] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure or the prior art, the accompanying drawings required to be used in the embodiments or the prior art description will be briefly introduced. Obviously, for those skilled in the art, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings without creative labor.

[0033] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure can be practiced according to other embodiments that do not require some of the specific details described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure and are not meant to limit the present disclosure.

[0034] In the related art, when clothes are treated using a foam cleaning program, only foam is usually introduced into a clothes treatment tub to clean the clothes. In order to enable the foam to fully contact the clothes and soak up stains to achieve a stain removal effect, a large amount of foam is usually introduced into the clothes treatment tub to soak up the clothes. However, the wettability of the foam to the clothes is limited, which is not conducive to the full soaking and dissolution of the foam and stains, and a large amount of foam introduction causes the accumulation of the foam on the clothes, resulting in that part of the foam cannot directly contact the clothes, thus failing to play a role in stain removal, causing waste of the foam and affecting the cleaning effect of the clothes treatment device.

[0035] To solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a control method of a clothes treatment device. Figure 1 A flowchart of a control method of a clothes treatment device is provided for the embodiments of the present disclosure. The clothes treatment device in the embodiments has the function of cleaning clothes using foam as a medium in a water-free or low-water environment. The method can be executed by the control device of the clothes treatment device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, which can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware. As shown in the figure, the method comprises the following steps: Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0036] S101, a foam cleaning program is executed, the foam cleaning program comprising a first introduction operation of introducing water mist and / or steam into the clothes treatment tub and a second introduction operation of introducing foam into the clothes treatment tub.

[0037] The embodiments of the present disclosure use a foam cleaning program to treat clothes, and introduce detergent in the form of foam into the clothes treatment cavity as a cleaning medium to clean the clothes. When only foam is used to clean the clothes, the amount of foam introduced is large, and the wettability of the foam to the clothes is limited, which is not conducive to the full soaking and dissolution of the foam and stains. Therefore, foam can be introduced into the clothes treatment tub, and water mist and / or steam can be introduced into the clothes treatment tub. Exemplarily, the water mist can be generated by a misting device of the clothes treatment device. The steam can be generated by a steam generator of the clothes treatment device, which can usually provide steam with a high temperature.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first introduction operation can be an operation of introducing water mist into the clothes treatment tub. The water mist is used to replace part of the foam to wet the clothes, increase the water content in the clothes treatment tub, and facilitate the full contact of the foam and the stains on the clothes, so that the amount of foam can be reduced and the stain removal effect can be improved.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first dispensing operation can be an operation of introducing steam into the laundry treatment tub. For example, a steam generator of the laundry treatment tub generates steam with a high temperature and introduces the steam into the laundry treatment tub. Since the steam has a high temperature, on the one hand, the moisture in the steam can wet the laundry, achieving water replenishment, and on the other hand, the high-temperature steam can also have an ironing effect on the laundry, reducing wrinkles of the laundry after cleaning and improving flatness of the laundry.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first dispensing operation can be an operation of introducing water mist and steam into the laundry treatment tub. The water mist and the steam can both replenish water to the laundry, replacing part of the foam to wet the laundry, providing a humid environment in the process of treating the laundry, which is conducive to the active substances in the foam entering the laundry, thereby reducing the amount of foam dispensed and improving the stain removal effect of the laundry treatment device. In addition, the high-temperature steam can be used to iron the laundry, reducing wrinkles of the laundry and improving flatness of the laundry.

[0041] The laundry treatment device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can realize the cleaning function of the laundry by executing the foam cleaning program. Compared with the prior art of using a large amount of foam to clean the laundry, the present disclosure introduces water mist and / or steam and foam into the laundry treatment tub, uses the water mist and / or steam in cooperation with the foam to provide a humid environment in the laundry treatment tub, replaces part of the foam to wet the laundry, reduces the amount of foam dispensed, increases the water content in the laundry treatment tub, and is conducive to the active substances in the foam entering the laundry to react with stains on the laundry to dissolve the stains. In addition, the water mist and / or steam can carry the foam to diffuse in the laundry treatment tub, so that the foam can contact the laundry at each position in the laundry treatment tub, avoiding the problem of excessive foam dispensing, which causes part of the foam to accumulate on the laundry and not to contact the laundry, resulting in waste of the foam, improving the uniformity of the foam wetting the laundry, and improving the cleaning effect of the laundry treatment device.

[0042] Optionally, executing the foam cleaning program comprises:

[0043] controlling the laundry treatment device to execute the first dispensing operation;

[0044] determining that the first dispensing operation meets a preset condition, and controlling the laundry treatment device to execute the second dispensing operation.

[0045] Specifically, when it is determined to perform the foam cleaning program, the laundry treating apparatus is controlled to introduce water mist and / or steam into the laundry treating tub, and when the first dispensing operation meets a preset condition, the foam is dispensed into the laundry treating tub. The introduced water mist and / or steam can provide a certain humid environment for the laundry treating tub, thereby improving the subsequent infiltration effect of the introduced foam on the laundry, enabling the foam to fully penetrate into the laundry to dissolve stains, and improving the cleaning ability of the laundry treating apparatus on the laundry.

[0046] Optionally, the preset condition includes that the first dispensing operation ends or the first dispensing operation reaches a preset time length.

[0047] Specifically, after the water mist and / or steam are introduced, the laundry treating apparatus can be controlled to perform a second dispensing operation of dispensing the foam into the laundry treating tub. Illustratively, when the water mist and / or steam are introduced into the laundry treating tub, a certain humid environment can be provided for the laundry treating tub, thereby increasing the water content in the laundry treating tub. At the same time, the water mist and / or steam can replace part of the foam to play a role in wetting the laundry, thereby reducing the amount of foam. In addition, when steam is introduced into the laundry treating tub, the temperature in the laundry treating tub can be increased due to the high temperature of the steam, and the drying time of the laundry can be reduced when the laundry is subsequently dried, thereby improving the efficiency of the laundry treatment. In addition, the high-temperature steam can also be used for ironing the laundry, thereby improving the flatness of the laundry.

[0048] When the time of introducing the water mist and / or steam reaches a preset time, the laundry treating apparatus is controlled to continue to introduce the water mist and / or steam and to dispense the foam into the laundry treating tub. The simultaneous introduction of the water mist and / or steam and the foam can shorten the time of the foam cleaning program, and the water mist and / or steam can carry the foam to spread in the laundry treating tub, thereby increasing the uniformity of the infiltration of the foam on the laundry and improving the stain removal degree of the laundry.

[0049] Optionally, performing the foam cleaning program includes:

[0050] The laundry treating apparatus is controlled to simultaneously perform the first dispensing operation and the second dispensing operation.

[0051] Specifically, in order to shorten the time of the foam cleaning, the foam can be dispensed into the laundry treating tub at the same time when the water mist and / or steam are introduced, thereby avoiding the problems of long time of the foam cleaning program caused by introducing the water mist and / or steam first and then dispensing the foam, or dispensing the foam first and then introducing the water mist and / or steam. When the water mist and / or steam and the foam are simultaneously introduced, the water mist and / or steam can carry the foam to spread in the laundry treating tub, thereby improving the infiltration effect of the foam on the laundry, enabling the foam to fully penetrate into the laundry to dissolve stains, and improving the cleaning ability of the laundry treating apparatus on the laundry.

[0052] Optionally, performing the foam cleaning program includes:

[0053] controlling the laundry treatment tub to rotate in a second direction, wherein the laundry treatment tub rotation direction comprises opposite first and second directions, and an amount of wind entering the laundry treatment tub when rotating in the second direction is less than an amount of wind entering the laundry treatment tub when rotating in the first direction.

[0054] Specifically, the laundry treatment device without independent driving air supply function (the laundry treatment device's tub and the fan share one motor) when performing, for example, a drying operation (at this time, the drying assembly can be kept open), can control the laundry treatment tub to rotate in a first direction and / or a second direction, the first direction is, for example, a clockwise direction, and the second direction is, for example, a counterclockwise direction, and synchronously drive the air supply assembly to operate by the motor driving the laundry treatment tub to rotate, to introduce hot air into the laundry treatment device. Because the air supply assembly generates different amounts of wind when rotating in different directions, the amount of wind introduced into the tub is also different in different rotation directions of the laundry treatment tub. The present disclosure defines the rotation direction generating a larger amount of wind as the first direction, and the corresponding rotation direction generating a relatively smaller amount of wind as the second direction, and the specific directions of the first direction and the second direction are not limited in the present embodiment.

[0055] Optionally, the laundry treatment tub is determined to rotate in the second direction, and the laundry treatment device is controlled to perform the first dispensing operation and / or the second dispensing operation.

[0056] Specifically, the water mist and / or steam and foam introduced into the laundry treatment tub can contact the laundry in each position in the laundry treatment tub during the rotation of the laundry treatment tub in the second direction, so that the foam can fully penetrate into the laundry to dissolve stains. Especially when there are a large number of laundry in the laundry treatment tub or a single piece of laundry has a large volume, the laundry in the laundry treatment tub cannot be fully soaked by the flowability of the foam alone, the laundry treatment tub can be controlled to rotate in the second direction when the foam is dispensed into the laundry treatment tub, so that the laundry in the laundry treatment tub can be tumbled, different surfaces can be fully soaked by the foam, the foam can penetrate into the laundry to dissolve stains, the soaking property of the foam to the laundry is improved, and thus the cleaning effect of the laundry treatment device on the laundry is improved. Moreover, when the laundry treatment tub rotates in the second direction, the amount of wind introduced into the laundry treatment tub is small, which can reduce the effect of the wind on eliminating or changing the distribution of the foam.

[0057] Optionally, the laundry treatment tub is determined to rotate in the second direction, and the laundry treatment device is controlled to perform the first dispensing operation and / or the second dispensing operation, comprising:

[0058] The duration of the first dispensing operation and / or the second dispensing operation is controlled to be less than the duration of at least one rotation in the second direction.

[0059] Specifically, the disclosure embodiment sets the length of time of rotation in the second direction to be greater than the length of time of water mist and / or steam input and the length of time of foam dispensing, which can avoid excessive water mist and / or steam input, high water content in the clothes treatment barrel, and poor drying effect, and can also avoid excessive foam dispensing, excessive foam amount, and waste.

[0060] Optionally, the control method further includes:

[0061] determining that the clothes treatment barrel is stationary, and controlling the clothes treatment device to perform the first dispensing operation and / or the second dispensing operation.

[0062] Specifically, since the foam dispensed into the clothes treatment barrel and the water mist and / or steam input are all in liquid state and have fluidity, the foam will flow from the initial dispensing position to the surrounding when the clothes treatment barrel is stationary, thereby wetting the clothes at each position in the clothes treatment barrel, allowing the foam to fully penetrate into the clothes to dissolve the stains, and allowing the water mist and / or steam to diffuse in the clothes treatment barrel. Therefore, by controlling the clothes treatment barrel to be stationary, the foam and the water mist can fully contact the clothes in the clothes treatment barrel, wet the clothes, and dissolve the stains on the clothes.

[0063] In addition, when the clothes in the clothes treatment barrel have a material that is easy to wear, dispensing the foam and inputting the water mist and / or steam into the clothes treatment barrel in a stationary manner can avoid the problem of mutual friction between the clothes and the clothes and between the clothes and the clothes treatment barrel, which can damage the clothes and improve the user experience.

[0064] Optionally, in the foam cleaning program, the clothes treatment barrel is in a water-free or micro-water environment.

[0065] It should be noted that in some embodiments of the disclosure, the micro-water environment refers to that the ratio T1 of the initial volume V1 of the cleaning medium dispensed into the clothes treatment cavity to the volume V2 of the clothes treatment cavity (such as the cavity of the clothes drying barrel or the clothes washing barrel) during the cleaning process is less than 7%, where T1=(V1 / V2)*100%, and the initial volume V1 is the volume of the cleaning medium before it is atomized, foamed, and / or liquidized. Specifically, the initial volume V1 can be 5ml, 10ml, 20ml, 30ml, 50ml, 100ml, 200ml, 500ml, 800ml, 900ml, 1L, or 1.2L, etc., the volume V2 of the clothes treatment cavity can be 15L, 30L, 50L, 60L, 80L, 100L, 115L, 125L, or 150L, etc., and the ratio T1 can be 0.003%, 0.006%, 0.012%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 0.66%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 3%, 5%, 7%, etc.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the anhydrous environment refers to a ratio T2 of an initial weight M1 of the cleaning medium put into the clothes treatment cavity during the cleaning process to a weight M2 of the load to be cleaned being less than or equal to 1.2 times a saturated moisture content C of the load to be cleaned; here, the saturated moisture content C of the load to be cleaned is calculated by the following method: S1, taking at least three standard cloth sample pieces of the same material, and obtaining a total weight of the dry state of the cloth sample pieces; S2, placing the standard cloth sample pieces in a beaker filled with water to be completely immersed; S3, taking out all the standard cloth sample pieces and placing them in the air to allow the water contained therein to drip under the action of gravity; after the standard cloth sample pieces no longer drip water droplets, obtaining a total weight of the wet state of the cloth sample pieces; S4, calculating the saturated moisture content of the cloth sample pieces according to the formula C = (total weight of the wet state - total weight of the dry state) / total weight of the dry state * 100%. For example, the saturated moisture content C of the wool standard cloth sample piece is 108%, the saturated moisture content C of the polyester standard cloth sample piece is 122.3%, or the saturated moisture content C of the cotton standard cloth sample piece is 96.43%; accordingly, when the load is the wool standard cloth sample piece, the polyester standard cloth sample piece, or the cotton standard cloth sample piece, respectively, the cleaning environment with T2 being less than or equal to 129.6%, 146.76%, or 115.7% is an anhydrous environment. The above embodiments are exemplary descriptions and do not limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0067] In addition, the foam in the embodiments of the present disclosure refers to a dispersion system in which gas is dispersed in liquid, wherein the gas is the dispersed phase, the liquid is the dispersion medium, the gas bubbles occupy a large volume fraction and the liquid occupies a small volume fraction, and the gas is separated by a continuous liquid film to form bubbles of different sizes. In some embodiments, in the dispersion system in the form of bubbles, the total volume of the dispersion system is greater than or equal to 4 times the volume of the liquid, i.e., the foam form referred to in the present disclosure, wherein the volume of the liquid is the volume of the cleaning medium in the liquid state before passing through the foaming assembly, and the total volume of the dispersion system is the total volume of the cleaning medium after foaming by the foaming assembly. The above embodiments are exemplary descriptions and do not limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0068] The laundry treatment apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure realizes the cleaning function of the laundry by executing the foam cleaning program. Compared with the prior art of cleaning the laundry by putting in a large amount of foam, the present disclosure introduces water mist and / or steam and foam into the laundry treatment tub, uses the water mist and / or steam in cooperation with the foam, uses the water mist and / or steam to provide a humid environment in the laundry treatment tub, replaces part of the foam to soak the laundry, reduces the amount of foam put in, improves the water content in the laundry treatment tub, and helps the active substances in the foam to enter the laundry and react with the stains on the laundry to dissolve the stains. Moreover, the water mist and / or steam can carry the foam to diffuse in the laundry treatment tub, so that the foam can contact the laundry in each position in the laundry treatment tub, avoiding the problem that too much foam is put in, resulting in that part of the foam accumulates on the laundry and cannot contact the laundry, causing waste of the foam, improving the uniformity of the foam and the laundry soaking, and improving the cleaning effect of the laundry treatment apparatus.

[0069] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a control device of a laundry treatment apparatus.
