[0084] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0085] like Figure 1 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a laundry processing device 100. The laundry processing device 100 may include, but is not limited to, a washing machine, which may include, but is not limited to, a washer-care all-in-one machine, a washer-dryer all-in-one machine, and the like. For example, the washing machine may be a drum washing machine or a pulsator washing machine with drying or washing functions. Of course, the washing machine may also be other types of fully automatic washing machines.

[0086] The laundry treatment device 100 is suitable for treating laundry that emits odorous gases. The laundry treatment device 100 includes a laundry treatment drum 200 and an odor treatment assembly 300. The laundry treatment drum 200 defines a laundry treatment chamber 210, which is adapted to accommodate a washing medium for washing the laundry within the chamber. Alternatively, the chamber 210 can be used to dry the laundry.

[0087] In one example, the laundry treatment chamber 210 may be an inner drum in a drum washing machine.

[0088] The odor treatment assembly 300 is disposed within the laundry processing apparatus 100. The odor treatment assembly 300 can be disposed at any position within the laundry processing chamber 210, for example, the odor treatment assembly 300 can be disposed at the upper side, left side, or right side of the laundry processing chamber 210. In this example and the following examples, the odor treatment assembly 300 is disposed at the upper side of the laundry processing chamber 210.

[0089] The odor treatment assembly 300 includes an adjustable pressure assembly 310 and a pressurized chamber 320. The pressurized chamber 320 is positioned above the clothing treatment chamber 210 and contains a solute, which may include, but is not limited to, liquid water. The pressurized chamber 320 is provided with an air inlet 321 and an air outlet 322, each with an opening and closing function. Control valves can be provided at the air inlet 321 and the air outlet 322 to achieve the corresponding opening and closing functions. Both the air inlet 321 and the air outlet 322 are in communication with the interior of the clothing treatment chamber 210.

[0090] The adjustable pressure assembly 310 is disposed at any location within the pressurized chamber 320 and is configured to adjust the pressure within the pressurized chamber 320 to increase the solubility of odor molecules in the odorous gas in the solute. The adjustable pressure assembly 310 can utilize a conventional pressure regulating device, such as an electronic pressure regulator.

[0091] It should be noted that the clothing processing chamber 210 can also be pressurized by the adjustable pressure component 310, thereby accelerating the volatilization of odor molecules in the odorous gas from the clothing and improving the subsequent odor removal efficiency.

[0092] That is, after the odorous gas in the clothes evaporates from the clothes, the odorous gas containing odor molecules is guided into the pressurized chamber 320 through the air inlet 321. Under the pressure regulation of the adjustable pressure component 310, the odor molecules are dissolved in the solute, and the solubility of the odor molecules in the solute can be increased by adjusting the pressure. The gas after the odor treatment is returned to the clothing treatment chamber 210 through the air outlet 322. Based on this, the combination of the adjustable pressure component 310 and the pressurized chamber 320 in the odor treatment component 300 can effectively remove odors from the surface of the clothes and even deep in the clothes. Moreover, the above-mentioned odor treatment process does not affect the material of the clothes, effectively improving the user experience of the clothing treatment device.

[0093] To facilitate replacement of the solute, the pressurized chamber 320 is provided with a solute inlet 323 and a solute outlet 324. The inlet 323 can be located directly above the pressurized chamber 320 to facilitate entry of the solute, while the outlet 324 can be located below and to the side of the pressurized chamber 320 to facilitate discharge of the solute containing odor molecules. This cycle effectively removes odor from the surface of clothing.

[0094] The laundry processing device 100 is further provided with a drying assembly 400 so as to dry the laundry in the laundry processing chamber 210 , etc. The drying assembly 400 includes a drying air duct 410 , a drying module 420 and a drying fan 430 .

[0095] The laundry processing drum 200 is provided with an air inlet 211 and an air outlet 212 which are in communication with the interior of the laundry processing chamber 210 .

[0096] The drying duct 410 is disposed within the laundry processing apparatus 100 and surrounds the outer wall of the laundry processing chamber 210. One end of the drying duct 410 communicates with the air outlet 212 of the laundry processing drum 200, and the other end of the drying duct 410 communicates with the air inlet 321 of the pressurized chamber 320. The air outlet 322 of the pressurized chamber 320 communicates with the air inlet 211 of the laundry processing chamber 210, thereby forming a circulation channel for drying the laundry.

[0097] The drying module 420 is disposed within the drying duct 410. The drying module 420 can be directly fixed within the drying duct 410, or secured thereto using other fasteners, such as screws. The drying module 420 can be disposed near the outlet of the drying duct 410, i.e., near the air inlet 321 of the pressurized chamber 320. The drying module 420 is configured to dehumidify and heat the hot and humid air within the drum, drawn from the outlet of the drying duct 410, to form a drying airflow, thereby drying the clothes.

[0098] The drying module 420 may be an element capable of heating air, such as an electric heating wire or a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater.

[0099] The drying fan 430 is disposed within the drying air duct 410 and upstream of the drying module 420 along the flow direction of the drying airflow to direct the hot and humid air within the laundry processing chamber 210 toward the drying module 420. The drying fan 430 may employ a conventional structure, or may directly utilize an induced draft fan, an axial flow fan, or the like.

[0100] In this example, under the guidance of the drying fan 430, the odor molecules in the odorous gas volatilized from the clothes are transported to the pressurized chamber 320, and then, based on the pressure regulation of the adjustable pressure component 310, the odor molecules are dissolved in the solute, thereby effectively removing the odor on the surface and deep layers of the clothes, and the above-mentioned odor treatment process will not affect the material of the clothes, effectively improving the user experience of the clothing treatment equipment.

[0101] like Figure 1 As shown, in some implementations, the odor treatment assembly 300 further includes an electrolysis unit 330. The electrolysis unit 330 is disposed in the solute, and the electrolysis unit 330 is configured to remove odor molecules in the solute based on electrolysis intensity adjustment and electrolysis treatment.

[0102] In one example, the electrolysis unit 330 may include an electrolytic anode 331 and an electrolytic cathode 332. After pressurization of the pressurized chamber 320, a large number of odor molecules dissolve in the solute. These odor molecules are then oxidized through water electrolysis to prevent further volatilization. During the electrolysis process, water molecules near the electrolytic anode 331 are oxidized, producing oxygen and hydrogen ions. Furthermore, due to the chloride ions in the electrolyte, oxidizing substances such as hypochlorous acid are also generated during the electrolysis process. Hypochlorous acid is a strong oxidant with strong bactericidal and disinfecting properties. Oxygen can also act as an oxidant under certain conditions, helping to decompose odor molecules.

[0103] Based on this, the electrolysis unit 330 is used to centrally decompose the odor molecules, thereby further removing the odor in the clothes and achieving a better removal effect.

[0104] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 is further provided with a control device (not shown in the figure). The control device controls the odor treatment component 300 to perform odor treatment according to the initial odor concentration of the laundry when it is determined that the laundry processing apparatus 100 enters a drying program and the drying program has a deodorization program.

[0105] like Figure 2 Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling odor removal in a clothing treatment apparatus. The method is used to control the clothing treatment apparatus 100 according to any of the above-described embodiments. The method includes: upon determining that the clothing treatment apparatus has entered a drying cycle and that the drying cycle includes a deodorization cycle, controlling the odor treatment component 300 to perform odor removal.

[0106] The process of controlling the odor treatment component 300 to perform odor treatment includes the following steps:

[0107] Step S100: Pre-treating the clothes to remove the odor from the clothes to form initial odorous gas.

[0108] Step S200: introducing the initial odorous gas into the odor treatment component.

[0109] Step S300: performing a pre-operation on the odor treatment component for a predetermined time, so that the odor molecules in the initial odorous gas are dissolved in the solute to obtain an intermediate odorous gas.

[0110] Step S400: Obtaining the intermediate odor concentration value of the intermediate odor gas.

[0111] Step S500: selectively processing the solute containing odor molecules according to the relationship between the intermediate odor concentration value and the preset threshold value.

[0112] In step S100, the clothes may be pre-treated based on the following operations to remove the odor from the clothes and form initial odorous gas:

[0113] The control system of the washing machine (ie, the laundry processing device) controls the laundry processing drum 200 to run a drying process. Then, the control system obtains the initial weight M of the laundry to determine the pressurization time T and the drying temperature C for the laundry.

[0114] The control system of the washing machine may adopt a control system in the prior art, as long as the control system can control various startup functions of the washing machine. The specific structure type and specific control logic of the control system will not be described in detail here.

[0115] The initial weight of the clothes can be obtained through the weighing module inside the washing machine, such as a weight sensor.

[0116] After obtaining the initial weight M of the laundry, the pressurization time T for the laundry can be determined based on the following calculation: T = k1 × M, where the value of k1 may include, but is not limited to, 0.3, and the pressurization time T is in minutes. The drying temperature C of the laundry can be stabilized according to the value of the initial weight M. The drying temperature C can be selected from 50°C, 70°C, and 90°C. When the initial weight M is greater than 9 kg, the drying temperature C is selected as 90°C; when the initial weight M is less than or equal to 9 kg and greater than or equal to 5 kg, the drying temperature C is selected as 70°C; and when the initial weight M is less than 5 kg, the drying temperature C is selected as 50°C.

[0117] The control system then determines whether the user's selected laundry drying program includes a deodorization cycle. If the laundry contains odor molecules and the user has selected the deodorization cycle, the initial odorous gas is introduced into the odor treatment assembly 300. If the user has not selected the deodorization cycle, indicating that the laundry contains no odor molecules, the control system directly controls the laundry treatment chamber 210 to perform a separate drying process on the laundry.

[0118] Among them, when the clothes contain odor molecules and the user selects the deodorization program, the adjustable pressure component 310 can pressurize the clothing processing chamber 210 to increase the pressure inside the clothing processing chamber 210. At the same time, by setting the drying temperature C, the volatilization rate of the odor molecules can be increased to ensure the subsequent removal rate of the odor molecules.

[0119] In step S200, after drying begins, odorous gases rapidly evaporate from the clothes, forming initial odorous gases. Driven by the drying fan 430, these gases enter the pressurized chamber 320 through the drying duct 410. After a certain period of time, a certain amount of the initial odorous gases accumulates in the pressurized chamber 320.

[0120] Then, in step S300, a pre-operation is performed on the odor treatment component 300 for a predetermined time to dissolve the odor molecules in the initial odorous gas into the solute, and the initial odorous gas after the odor treatment forms an intermediate odorous gas.

[0121] The odor treatment component 300 may be pre-operated for a predetermined time in the following manner:

[0122] First, an initial odor concentration value of the initial odorous gas may be acquired based on an odor detection unit provided in the pressurized chamber 320, such as an odor detector or an odor detection sensor.

[0123] Then, the initial pressure P in the pressurized chamber 320 is set according to the initial odor concentration value. The initial pressure P=L1×P0, where P0 is a standard atmospheric pressure and L1 can have optional values ​​of 5, 10 and 20.

[0124] Within a predetermined time, when the initial odor concentration is less than a first value, the odor treatment assembly 300 is pressurized at a pressure five times the standard atmospheric pressure. It should be noted that the predetermined time is the pressurization duration in step S200 described above. The first value is preferably 300 ppm. That is, when the initial odor concentration is less than 300 ppm, the initial pressure P = 5P0. In other words, the odor treatment assembly 300 is pressurized at a pressure five times the standard atmospheric pressure for the pressurization duration.

[0125] When the initial odor concentration is greater than or equal to the first value and less than or equal to the second value, the odor treatment assembly 300 is pressurized at a pressure 10 times the standard atmospheric pressure. The second value is preferably 1000 ppm. That is, when the initial odor concentration is greater than or equal to 300 ppm but less than or equal to 1000 ppm, the initial pressure P = 10P0. In other words, the odor treatment assembly 300 is pressurized at a pressure 10 times the standard atmospheric pressure for the pressurization duration.

[0126] When the initial odor concentration is greater than or equal to the second value, the odor treatment assembly 300 is pressurized at a pressure 20 times the standard atmospheric pressure. Specifically, when the initial odor concentration is greater than or equal to 1000 ppm, the initial pressure P = 20P0. This means that the odor treatment assembly 300 is pressurized at a pressure 20 times the standard atmospheric pressure for the pressurization duration.

[0127] By comparing the initial odor concentration value with the first value and the second value, it is determined that the odor treatment component 300 is subjected to a pressurization treatment at a multiple of the standard atmospheric pressure during the pressurization time, so that the odor molecules in the odorous gas can be fully dissolved in the solute. After the pressurization time expires, the liquid outlet 324 on the pressurization chamber 320 is opened to allow the solute containing the odor molecules to flow out. After the solute containing the odor molecules is completely discharged, the liquid outlet 324 is closed and the liquid inlet 323 on the pressurization chamber 320 is opened to replenish new solutes into the pressurization chamber 320 through the liquid inlet 323. When the liquid outlet 324 is opened, the air outlet 322 on the pressurization chamber 320 is opened simultaneously, so that the odor-treated gas in the pressurization chamber 320 is transported through the air outlet 322 to the clothing treatment chamber 210 for drying and the next odor treatment.

[0128] like Figure 2 Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the electrolysis unit 330 provided in the pressurized chamber 320 can also be used to electrolyze the solute, and remove the odor molecules in the solute through oxidation and other actions, so that the initial odor gas forms an intermediate odor gas.

[0129] In the process of electrolyzing the solute by the electrolysis unit 330, the initial odor concentration value is periodically obtained.

[0130] In step S400, after the pressurization treatment time is over, the control system of the washing machine continues to obtain the initial odor concentration value in the clothing processing chamber 210 through the gas detection unit, and flexibly adjusts the voltage level of the electrolysis unit according to the relationship between the initial odor concentration value and the first threshold and the second threshold.

[0131] When the initial odor concentration value is less than the second threshold value, the electrolyte is electrolyzed based on the third voltage level.

[0132] When the initial odor concentration is greater than or equal to the second threshold and less than or equal to the first threshold, the electrolyte is electrolyzed at a second voltage level, where the voltage intensity at the second voltage level is greater than the voltage intensity at the third voltage level. The second threshold is less than the first threshold, and the second and first thresholds can be flexibly set by the user based on electrolysis information, or can be factory-set settings for the washing machine. This is not specifically limited here.

[0133] When the initial odor concentration is greater than a first threshold, the electrolyte is electrolyzed at a first voltage level, wherein the voltage intensity of the first voltage level is greater than the voltage intensity of the second voltage level, and the voltage intensity of the first voltage level includes a highest voltage level.

[0134] In step S400, after multiple cycles of pressurization by the adjustable pressure assembly 310, the initial odor concentration within the laundry processing chamber 210 is detected. If the initial odor concentration of the gas within the laundry processing chamber 210 does not decrease, the voltage level of the electrolysis unit 330 is continuously increased until it reaches the maximum voltage level. Subsequently, by periodically detecting the initial odor concentration of the gas within the laundry processing chamber 210 and flexibly adjusting the voltage of the electrolysis unit 330 based on the relationship between the initial odor concentration and the first and second thresholds, the concentration of the oxidizing agent during the electrolysis process is increased, thereby ensuring effective sterilization and odor removal.

[0135] After the pressurization time ends, after the electrolysis treatment of the electrolysis unit 330, the gas in the clothing processing chamber 210 is transformed from the initial odorous gas into an intermediate odorous gas, that is, the concentration of the odorous gas in the clothing processing chamber 210 is reduced.

[0136] In step S500, after obtaining the intermediate odor concentration value of the intermediate odorous gas, if the intermediate odor concentration value is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it indicates that the odor molecules in the pressurized chamber 320 have been reduced to a reasonable range. At this time, the clothing odor concentration value in the clothing processing chamber 210 can be obtained. If the clothing odor concentration value is less than or equal to the target threshold, the current deodorization process can be directly terminated.

[0137] When the intermediate odor concentration value is greater than the preset threshold, it indicates that the concentration of odor molecules in the pressurized chamber 320 is still high, and the deodorization program needs to continue running until the clothing odor concentration value in the clothing processing chamber 210 is equal to or lower than the target threshold.

[0138] In this example, the adjustable pressure assembly 310 is first used to pressurize the clothing, causing the initial odorous gas contained in the clothing surface and deep layers within the clothing treatment chamber 210 to evaporate from the clothing. The drying fan then directs the initial odorous gas into the pressurized chamber 320. The adjustable pressure assembly 310 then pressurizes the clothing, using a suitable initial pressure and pressurization duration. The odorous molecules are dissolved within the solute by the solute or the electrolysis unit 330 in conjunction with the solute, or the odorous molecules are removed through electrolysis, thereby producing an intermediate odorous gas. Finally, based on the relationship between the intermediate odor concentration of the intermediate odorous gas and a preset threshold, a decision is made as to whether to terminate the deodorization process or continue to repressurize or increase the temperature of the pressurized chamber 320. This effectively removes odorous molecules contained in the clothing surface and deep layers, and the odor treatment process does not affect the material of the clothing, thereby effectively enhancing the user experience with the clothing treatment device 100.

[0139] like Figure 2 Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, step S500 selectively processes the solute containing odor molecules according to the relationship between the intermediate odor concentration value and the preset threshold value, including:

[0140] First, when the intermediate odor concentration value is less than a preset threshold, the clothing odor concentration value of the clothing in clothing treatment chamber 210 is obtained. Based on the relationship between the clothing odor concentration value and the target threshold, the solute containing the odor molecules is treated. For example, when the clothing odor concentration value is less than or equal to the target threshold, it indicates that the odor molecules on the surface or deep layer of the clothing have been completely removed. The control system can directly terminate the current processing flow, for example, stopping the deodorization program.

[0141] Among them, the preset threshold and the target threshold can both be values ​​flexibly set by the user, or can be values ​​set in the deodorization program when the washing machine leaves the factory. No specific limitation is made here, but the value range of the preset threshold is larger than the value range of the target threshold.

[0142] If the clothing odor concentration is still greater than the target threshold and electrolysis unit 330 is not used, the solute containing odor molecules in pressurized chamber 320 is released through liquid outlet 324, and solute containing no odor molecules is injected into pressurized chamber 320 through liquid inlet 323. Alternatively, if the clothing odor concentration is still greater than the target threshold and electrolysis is performed, the voltage level of electrolysis unit 330 is increased to accelerate the removal rate of odor molecules.

[0143] If the intermediate odor concentration value exceeds the preset threshold, it indicates that the concentration of odor molecules in the pressurization chamber 320 and the laundry treatment chamber 210 is relatively high, or the intermediate odor concentration value is equal to or greater than the initial odor concentration value. In this case, the odor treatment assembly 300 needs to be pressurized and the temperature increased until the pressure and drying temperature reach the maximum level, or the odor concentration value in the laundry treatment chamber 210 is reduced. If the pressurization time of any one of the pressurization periods ends and the laundry odor concentration value in the laundry treatment chamber 210 is detected to be equal to or less than the target threshold, the deodorization process ends.

[0144] Among them, the process of pressurizing and heating the odor treatment component 300 can be: when the initial pressure for treating the initial odor concentration value is 5 times the standard atmospheric pressure and the drying temperature C is 50°C, the initial pressure for treating the intermediate odor concentration value is adjusted to 10 times the standard atmospheric pressure, and the drying temperature is increased to 70°C.

[0145] Alternatively, when the initial pressure for processing the initial odor concentration value is 10 times the standard atmospheric pressure and the drying temperature C is 70°C, the initial pressure for processing the intermediate odor concentration value is adjusted to 20 times the standard atmospheric pressure, and the drying temperature is increased to 90°C.

[0146] Then, after a predetermined time, another odor concentration value of the intermediate odorous gas is obtained. The predetermined time can be a time value flexibly set by the user, or the predetermined time can also be the sum of N pressurization time periods, where N is a number greater than or equal to 0.1.

[0147] If the washing machine control system determines that the odor concentration value is still greater than the preset threshold, it will continue to increase the pressure and increase the temperature of the pressurized chamber 320 in the odor treatment assembly 300 at least once until the next detected odor concentration value is less than the preset threshold. It should be noted that the pressure increase and temperature increase process in this step can be referred to the description in the above example and will not be repeated here.

[0148] When the odor concentration value is lower than the preset threshold value again, the odor concentration value of the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 210 is obtained. Then, based on the relationship between the odor concentration value and the target threshold value, the control system processes the dissolved substances in the pressurized chamber 320.

[0149] For example, when the odor concentration value of the clothes in this step is less than or equal to the target threshold, it indicates that the odor molecules on the surface or deep layer of the clothes have been completely removed. Based on the control system, the current processing flow can be directly ended, for example, the deodorization program can be stopped.

[0150] If the clothing odor concentration is still greater than the target threshold and electrolysis unit 330 is not used, the solute containing odor molecules in pressurized chamber 320 is released through liquid outlet 324, and solute containing no odor molecules is injected into pressurized chamber 320 through liquid inlet 323. Alternatively, if the clothing odor concentration is still greater than the target threshold and electrolysis is performed, the voltage level of electrolysis unit 330 is increased to accelerate the removal rate of odor molecules.

[0151] In this example, the entire process of removing odor molecules from the initial odorous gas is divided into multiple stages. During each stage, the concentration of odor molecules in the pressurization chamber 320 and / or the clothing treatment chamber 210 is detected. The pressurization duration and drying temperature are adjusted in each stage based on the corresponding odor molecule concentration, thereby achieving precise odor removal. After each stage, if the electrolysis unit 330 is not installed in the pressurization chamber 320, the solute containing odor molecules is discharged from the pressurization chamber 320, and electrolyte containing no odor molecules is re-injected into the pressurization chamber 320; or if the electrolysis unit 330 is installed in the pressurization chamber 320, the voltage of the electrolysis unit 330 is adjusted to accelerate the removal rate of odor molecules. This effectively removes odor molecules from both the surface and deep layers of clothing, and the odor treatment process does not affect the material of the clothing, thereby effectively improving the user experience of the clothing treatment device 100.
