Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing, and more particularly to a clothing processing device, its control method, apparatus, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of clothing processing equipment, it has gradually become an indispensable part of people's lives, and fully automatic pulsator washing machines, as a major type of clothing processing equipment, occupy a large market share. The working principle of existing fully automatic pulsator washing machines is generally as follows: during washing and rinsing, the drive unit drives the washing machine's pulsator to rotate forward and backward through a reduction clutch device; during spin-drying, the drive unit drives the washing machine's pulsator and washing tub to rotate synchronously at high speed through a reduction clutch device.

[0003] However, fully automatic pulsator washing machines operating in the above manner have the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1) During washing, the inner drum (i.e., the washing tub) does not rotate, while the pulsator rotates in both directions, causing the water and clothes inside the inner drum to rotate and achieve washing. The washing mode is limited, and when there are many clothes, the rotation of the pulsator alone cannot effectively tumble the clothes, resulting in problems such as weak water flow, clothes easily tangling, and low washing efficiency.

[0005] 2) Most deceleration clutch devices use planetary gears for speed reduction, switching between washing and spin-drying via the movement of the clutch pawl. Using planetary gears reduces transmission efficiency and introduces a new noise source into the washing machine. The use of a clutch not only increases the manufacturing and assembly complexity of the washing machine but also increases the space occupied by the drive system, reducing the effective capacity of the inner drum. Summary of the Invention

[0040] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0042] This application provides a control method for a clothing processing device, which can be a pulsator washing machine. The clothing processing device includes: an inner drum, a pulsator located inside the inner drum, a first direct drive (DD) motor for driving the pulsator to rotate, and a second direct drive motor for driving the inner drum to rotate.

[0043] It should be noted that the direct drive motor in this application embodiment is an abbreviation for a direct drive motor, which mainly refers to a motor that does not need to be transmitted through a transmission device when driving a load. That is, the relevant mechanical transmission components (ball screw pair, rack and pinion, transmission belt / pulley and gearbox, etc.) are all eliminated, thereby eliminating the backlash, flexibility and other related problems caused by mechanical transmission.

[0044] To achieve the connection of two direct-drive motors to the impeller and the inner drum respectively, as an embodiment of this application, the first direct-drive motor includes a first rotor and a first stator, and the garment processing device includes an impeller shaft, one end of which is fixedly connected to the impeller, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the first rotor. The second direct-drive motor includes a second rotor and a second stator, and the garment processing device includes an inner drum shaft sleeved outside the impeller shaft, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner drum, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the second rotor.

[0045] For example, a through channel for the inner cylinder shaft to pass through can be provided on the first direct drive motor, or a through channel for the impeller shaft to pass through can be provided on the second direct drive motor. Different configurations correspond to different positions of the direct drive motors and different connection methods. In one implementation, the distance between the first direct drive motor and the bottom of the inner cylinder along the central axis is greater than the distance between the second direct drive motor and the bottom of the inner cylinder along the central axis, that is, the first direct drive motor is located below the second direct drive motor, and the second direct drive motor has a through channel for the impeller shaft to pass through.

[0046] In one application example, the first direct drive motor is an external rotor direct drive motor, with the first rotor located outside the first stator; the second direct drive motor is an internal rotor direct drive motor, with the second rotor located inside the second stator. In another application example, the first direct drive motor is an internal rotor direct drive motor, with the first rotor located inside the first stator; the second direct drive motor is an external rotor direct drive motor, with the second rotor located outside the second stator.

[0047] For example, the first direct drive motor and the second direct drive motor can be the first sub-motor and the second sub-motor in a dual-rotor motor. It should be noted that traditional motors generally have only one stator and one rotor, while dual-rotor motors have two mechanical shafts (corresponding to two sub-motors), which can realize the independent transmission of energy between the two mechanical shafts. This dual-rotor motor greatly reduces the size and weight of the equipment, improves working efficiency, can well meet the requirements of energy saving and speed regulation, and has superior operating performance.

[0048] Understandably, the first and second direct drive motors can work independently to drive the inner cylinder and impeller synchronously or asynchronously.

[0049] It should be noted that the clothing processing equipment in this embodiment of the application, by employing a first direct drive motor and a second direct drive motor and eliminating the reduction clutch structure, significantly reduces the overall height of the drive device. Under the premise of the same cabinet height, the space occupied by the drive system can be effectively reduced, thereby increasing the effective capacity of the washing machine drum. In addition, by reducing the design and installation of mechanical transmission and components, the transmission efficiency can be effectively improved and the noise source can be reduced, which is conducive to improving the operating effect of the clothing processing equipment. Furthermore, based on the independent control of the first direct drive motor and the second direct drive motor, the washing effect of the clothing processing equipment can be effectively improved by optimizing the control program.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the garment processing equipment in this application includes:

[0051] Step 101: Determine to enter the washing stage, and control the first direct drive motor to operate at the first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor to operate at the second washing cycle; wherein, the first washing cycle and the second washing cycle are configured independently, the first washing cycle includes: a first forward rotation stage, a first intermittent stage and a first reverse rotation stage, and the second washing cycle includes: a second forward rotation stage, a second intermittent stage and a second reverse rotation stage.

[0052] It is understood that in the control method of this application embodiment, since the first direct drive motor and the second direct drive motor can operate independently with their respective washing rhythms, it is possible to realize the control of the washing rhythm of the clothing processing equipment with multiple degrees of freedom during the washing stage, which can effectively improve the washing effect of the clothing processing equipment.

[0053] It should be noted that related technologies often require the introduction of a power switching device to switch between the synchronous or disengaged states of the first and second direct drive motors. For example, a fixing device can be installed on the bottom of the outer tub of the washing machine, and a positioning device can be installed on the inner tub shaft that can slide along its axial direction and cooperate / disconnect with the fixing device. By setting the fixing device and the positioning device, the meshing state of the two and the power output of the first and second direct drive motors can be controlled to achieve washing effects under multiple working conditions.

[0054] In this embodiment, by independently configuring the first washing cycle of the first direct drive motor and the second washing cycle of the second direct drive motor, the washing cycles of the first and second direct drive motors can be different. Compared with the traditional control scheme of starting one direct drive motor separately or starting two direct drive motors simultaneously, this method can achieve multi-degree-of-freedom control of the washing cycle of the garment processing equipment during the washing stage, based on the independent operation of the first and second direct drive motors at their respective washing cycles, which can effectively improve the washing effect of the garment processing equipment.

[0055] For example, controlling the first direct drive motor to operate at a first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor to operate at a second washing cycle includes at least one of the following:

[0056] The first direct drive motor and the second direct drive motor are controlled to start simultaneously, with the first direct drive motor running at the first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor running at the second washing cycle.

[0057] The first direct drive motor is controlled to start before the second direct drive motor, and the first direct drive motor runs at a first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor runs at a second washing cycle;

[0058] The second direct drive motor is controlled to start before the first direct drive motor, and the first direct drive motor operates at a first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor operates at a second washing cycle.

[0059] Here, during the washing stage, the garment processing equipment supports synchronous or asynchronous starting of the first and second drive motors, which allows for greater freedom in the washing rhythm of the dual direct drive motors, enabling better control of the washing rhythm, thereby improving the washing effect and increasing the washing efficiency.

[0060] For example, the first and second washing cycles also support different washing accelerations and washing speeds, thus enabling personalized settings of washing intensity based on independent control of the washing cycles.

[0061] For example, controlling the simultaneous start of the first direct drive motor and the second direct drive motor, with the first direct drive motor operating at a first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor operating at a second washing cycle, includes:

[0062] The first direct drive motor and the second direct drive motor are controlled to start simultaneously and rotate in opposite directions, wherein the first direct drive motor operates at a first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor operates at a second washing cycle, and the first washing cycle and the second washing cycle are the same.

[0063] In one application example, the washing speed of the first direct drive motor is as follows: Figure 2 As shown by the solid line in the image, the washing speed of the second direct drive motor is as follows: Figure 2 As shown by the dotted line, this allows for dual-power washing without interference between the two direct-drive motors. It can be understood that the pulsator rotates at the first washing cycle under the drive of the first direct-drive motor, while the inner drum rotates at the second washing cycle under the drive of the second direct-drive motor. Furthermore, the pulsator and the inner drum rotate in opposite directions, thus creating a strong vortex inside the inner drum, thereby enhancing the cleaning and stain removal effect on clothes.

[0064] For example, controlling the first direct drive motor to start before the second direct drive motor, and the first direct drive motor operating at a first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor operating at a second washing cycle, includes:

[0065] The first direct drive motor is controlled to start running at the first washing cycle, and before entering the first first intermittent stage, the second direct drive motor is controlled to start running at the second washing cycle.

[0066] In one application example, the washing speed of the first direct drive motor is as follows: Figure 3 As shown by the solid line in the image, the washing speed of the second direct drive motor is as follows: Figure 3 As shown by the dashed lines in the diagram. Figure 3 It can be seen that the first direct drive motor starts running with the first washing cycle and drives the impeller to run in the first forward rotation phase. Before entering the first first intermittent phase, the second direct drive motor starts running with the second washing cycle and drives the inner drum to run in the second forward rotation phase. Then, after the first intermittent phase, the first direct drive motor drives the impeller to run in the first reverse rotation phase. After the second intermittent phase, the second direct drive motor drives the inner drum to run in the second reverse rotation phase, and so on in a repeated cycle.

[0067] For example, the first intermittent phase and the second intermittent phase do not overlap in time. It can be understood that, since the first intermittent phase and the second intermittent phase do not overlap in time, an uninterrupted washing effect can be achieved based on the asynchronous start of the first direct drive motor and the second direct drive motor. Furthermore, since both the first direct drive motor and the second direct drive motor have reasonable intermittent durations, it can mitigate defects such as poor heat dissipation or excessive wear caused by excessive continuous operation of the direct drive motor, thereby effectively extending the service life of the direct drive motor in uninterrupted washing scenarios.

[0068] For example, controlling the second direct drive motor to start before the first direct drive motor, and the first direct drive motor operating at a first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor operating at a second washing cycle, includes:

[0069] The second direct drive motor is controlled to start running at the second washing cycle, and before entering the first second intermittent stage, the first direct drive motor is controlled to start running at the first washing cycle.

[0070] In one application example, the washing speed of the first direct drive motor is as follows: Figure 4 As shown by the solid line in the image, the washing speed of the second direct drive motor is as follows: Figure 4 As shown by the dashed lines in the diagram. Figure 4 It can be seen that the second direct drive motor starts running at the second washing cycle and drives the inner drum to run in the second forward rotation stage. Before entering the first second intermittent stage, the first direct drive motor starts running at the first washing cycle and drives the impeller to run in the first forward rotation stage. Then, after the second intermittent stage, the second direct drive motor drives the inner drum to run in the second reverse rotation stage. After the first intermittent stage, the first direct drive motor drives the impeller to run in the first reverse rotation stage, and so on.

[0071] For example, the first intermittent phase and the second intermittent phase do not overlap in time. It can be understood that, since the first intermittent phase and the second intermittent phase do not overlap in time, an uninterrupted washing effect can be achieved based on the asynchronous start of the first direct drive motor and the second direct drive motor. Furthermore, since both the first direct drive motor and the second direct drive motor have reasonable intermittent durations, it can mitigate defects such as poor heat dissipation or excessive wear caused by excessive continuous operation of the direct drive motor, thereby effectively extending the service life of the direct drive motor in uninterrupted washing scenarios.

[0072] For example, in the aforementioned uninterrupted washing mode, when the first direct drive motor or the second direct drive motor is in the intermittent phase, the speed of the other one of them is greater than 80% of the rated speed. That is, when the first direct drive motor is in the first intermittent phase, the speed of the second direct drive motor is greater than 80% of the rated speed, and when the second direct drive motor is in the second intermittent phase, the speed of the first direct drive motor is greater than 80% of the rated speed. In this way, the fluctuation of the washing speed in the uninterrupted washing mode can be reduced, which is conducive to ensuring washing efficiency.

[0073] In some embodiments, the washing stage involves multiple washes, and controlling the first direct drive motor to operate at a first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor to operate at a second washing cycle includes:

[0074] The washing stage is determined to be the first wash, and the first direct drive motor and the second direct drive motor are controlled to start simultaneously, with the first direct drive motor running at the first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor running at the second washing cycle.

[0075] The washing control is determined to be the washing control after the first wash, controlling the first direct drive motor to start before the second direct drive motor, and the first direct drive motor to run at a first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor to run at a second washing cycle, or controlling the second direct drive motor to start before the first direct drive motor, and the first direct drive motor to run at a first washing cycle and the second direct drive motor to run at a second washing cycle.

[0076] Understandably, for the first wash control in the washing stage, it can operate within... Figure 2 The dual-power washing mode shown utilizes the opposite rotation directions of the pulsator and drum to create a strong vortex inside the drum, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect on clothes. For washing control after the first wash, it can operate in... Figure 3 or Figure 4 The continuous washing mode shown can improve washing efficiency and shorten washing time.

[0077] Exemplarily, the method further includes:

[0078] Configure the first washing cycle and / or the second washing cycle.

[0079] For example, the frequency converter can be configured to achieve independent configuration of the first washing cycle and / or the second washing cycle. The first drive motor and the second drive motor can share a single frequency converter or be driven by an independent frequency converter. This application embodiment does not limit this.
