Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of clothing processing equipment, and in particular relates to a hanging washing machine for hanging clothing for washing, and also relates to a dehydration method and a control method of the hanging washing machine. Background Art

[0002] Clothes processing devices are household appliances that are frequently used in people's daily lives. With the improvement of living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for the processing effects of clothing processing devices. More users require that clothing processing devices can not only wash clothes, but also dry and care for clothes. Clothes processed by clothing processing devices can be clean, sterile, flat, and can be worn directly.

[0003] Traditional washing machines generally place clothes in a barrel and stir the water and clothes to achieve the purpose of cleaning. Although existing washing machines can wash and dry clothes, the clothes after processing inevitably have wrinkles and cannot be worn directly. Another clothing care machine is needed to care for the clothes and smooth out the wrinkles on the clothes.

[0004] In order to meet the needs of users, a spray-type washing machine has appeared on the market. Users hang clothes in a washing chamber and spray wash the clothes. However, the existing spray-type washing machines cannot effectively dehydrate the hung clothes after washing.

[0005] In addition, the existing method of dehydrating clothes generally relies on squeezing and beating the clothes to squeeze and separate the water contained in the clothes; however, the above-mentioned squeezing and beating methods will cause the clothes to undergo significant deformation, resulting in wrinkles and deformation of the dehydrated clothes.

[0006] Therefore, how to effectively dehydrate the clothes to be hung for washing and improve the stretching shape of the clothes after dehydration has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.

[0007] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a dehydration method for a clothes treatment cabinet, which drives the hanging clothes to shake so as to use the shaking force to shake off the water on the hanging clothes, thereby achieving the purpose of effectively dehydrating the hanging clothes. In addition, the present invention provides a dehydration method for a clothes treatment cabinet to avoid problems such as deformation of clothes after dehydration.

[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned invention object, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0010] A dehydration method for a clothes processing cabinet comprises: driving clothes hung in a clothes processing chamber to perform dehydration shaking, and utilizing the dehydration shaking to remove water from the hung clothes.

[0011] Furthermore, clothes are hung on the clothes hanging rod at the upper part of the clothes processing chamber via hangers; during the dehydration process, the clothes hanging rod and / or the hanger are driven to move, causing the hung clothes to shake in at least one direction.

[0018] Furthermore, the end condition of each dehydration process is any one or a combination of the dehydration time reaching the set time t30, the humidity value of the hanging clothes reaching the set value, and the liquid level change rate in the water storage chamber being less than the set value.

[0019] Furthermore, when the dehydrating airflow flows through the clothing processing chamber, the clothes hanger is synchronously driven to cause the hung clothes to swing left and right.

[0020] Another object of the present invention is to provide a control method for a clothes processing cabinet, wherein the clothes processing process specifically includes the following steps:

[0021] During the washing process, a spray arm provided in the clothing processing chamber is used to spray washing water onto the hung clothing;

[0022] During the rinsing process, clean water is used to spray and clean the clothes hung in the clothes processing chamber;

[0026] Furthermore, a clothes hanging rod is provided on the top of the clothes processing chamber, and the clothes are hung on the clothes hanging rod via hangers; the clothes hanging rod is connected to a driving unit, and the driving unit drives the clothes hanging rod and the hanger to move in one or more directions. At the same time, the driving unit can also be connected to the clothes hanging rod and / or the hanger, and can also drive the hung clothes to shake in at least one direction.

[0027] Furthermore, an air duct structure is provided on the clothes processing cabinet, which is connected with the clothes processing cavity and is used for the dehydration air flow to flow through the clothes processing cavity.

[0028] Furthermore, the clothing processing cabinet adopts any of the above-mentioned dehydration methods to dehydrate the clothing hung on the clothes hanger on the clothes hanger rod in the clothing processing chamber.

[0029] Furthermore, the clothing processing cabinet adopts any of the above-mentioned control methods to process the clothing hung on the clothes hanger on the clothes hanger rod in the clothing processing chamber.

[0030] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0031] By driving the hanging clothes to produce shaking displacement, the effect of using the shaking force to dehydrate the hanging clothes is achieved, thereby achieving significant technical progress in efficiently dehydrating the hanging clothes and preventing the clothes from being squeezed and deformed due to dehydration.

[0032] At the same time, the invention has a simple structure, a concise method, and a significant effect, and is suitable for popularization and use.

Structure, for example: a pump, etc.; when the power structure is working, any one or a combination of the upper spray arm 101, the middle spray arm 102, and the lower spray arm 103 can be connected to the water storage chamber, and the incoming water in the water storage chamber, or the washing water mixed with detergent is pumped to the corresponding connected spray arm 1, and the spray arm 1 is used to spray the hanging clothes; the clean water or washing water after spraying falls to the bottom wall of the clothing processing chamber 100, and the bottom wall is provided with a reflux pipeline connected to the water storage chamber, so that the falling clean water or washing water flows back to the water storage chamber to form a cycle.

[0050] The above-mentioned spray arm 1 is provided with a spray hole opened toward the clothing processing chamber 100, so that water flows through the spray hole to the clothing hung in the clothing processing chamber 100 for spray washing; at the same time, the spray arm 1 can also be installed on the shell 600 so that it can rotate around the axis, so that the spray water flow sprayed by at least part of the spray holes drives the spray arm 1 to rotate around the axis, thereby achieving a large-scale spray of the spray water flow and improving the effect of spraying and washing various parts of the hung clothing; of course, the rotating shaft of the spray arm 1 can also be connected to a power unit such as a motor to drive the spray arm 1 to produce active rotation to further enhance the water spray washing effect.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, the hanging device may be any existing structure that can hang clothes in the clothes processing chamber, and is not limited to the following solutions:

[0052] The hanging device in the present invention includes: a clothes hanging rod 400 is provided on the top of the clothes processing chamber 100, and the clothes to be processed are hung on the clothes hanging rod 400 via a hanger 500. The clothes hanging rod 400 is connected to a driving unit, and the driving unit can drive the clothes hung on the clothes hanging rod 400 to move in one or more directions; for example: it can drive the clothes to shake left and right, drive the clothes to rotate around the vertical direction, and drive the hung clothes to swing back and forth, etc.

[0053] Embodiment 1

[0054] like Figures 6a to 6cAs shown, this embodiment introduces a dehydration method for a clothes processing cabinet, which includes: driving the clothes hung in the clothes processing chamber to shake for dehydration, and utilizing the shaking for dehydration to remove water from the hung clothes. By driving the hung clothes to shake and displace, the effect of dehydrating the hung clothes by utilizing the shaking force is achieved, thereby achieving a significant technical progress of efficiently dehydrating the hung clothes and preventing the clothes from being squeezed and deformed due to dehydration.

[0055] In this embodiment, during the dehydration process, the power source for driving the hung clothes to shake can be any one or a combination of power sources, such as the force driving the clothes hanging rod and / or clothes hanger to move, the wind force of the dehydration airflow flowing through the clothes processing chamber, etc.

[0056] In this embodiment, clothes are hung on the clothes hanging rod at the upper part of the clothes processing chamber via a hanger, and a driving unit is provided on the clothes processing cabinet, and the driving unit is connected to the clothes hanging rod and / or the hanger, and is used to drive the clothes hanging rod and / or the hanger to move, thereby driving the hung clothes to shake in at least one direction. In this embodiment, during the dehydration process, the clothes hanging rod and / or the hanger are driven to move, thereby driving the hung clothes to shake in at least one direction, so as to achieve the effect of using the driving force of the clothes hanging rod and / or the hanger to drive the hung clothes to shake, thereby achieving the effect of using the shaking force to remove water from the hung clothes.

[0057] In this embodiment, the hanging clothes may be shaken by any one or a combination of left-right shaking, front-back shaking, and shaking around a vertical axis. Preferably, in this embodiment, for the sake of convenience, the left-right shaking is used as an example for discussion, but in the dehydration process of the present invention, the hanging clothes may be driven to shake by any one or a combination of left-right shaking, front-back shaking, and shaking around a vertical axis, so as to further improve the effect of removing water from the clothes by shaking in different directions.

[0058] In this embodiment, a duct structure is provided on the clothing processing cabinet; the duct structure includes an air inlet duct and an air outlet duct connected to the clothing processing chamber; the outlet of the air inlet duct and the inlet of the air outlet duct are respectively connected to the clothing processing chamber; the inlet of the air inlet duct and the outlet of the air outlet duct can be respectively connected to the outside atmosphere to form a straight exhaust duct, or the two can be connected to form a circulating air path; fans are respectively provided on the air inlet duct and / or the air outlet duct, so that an air inlet airflow entering the clothing processing chamber and an air outlet airflow flowing out from the clothing processing chamber can be formed. In this embodiment, during the dehydration process, the above-mentioned air duct structure is used to introduce a dehydration airflow into the clothing processing chamber, and the dehydration airflow flows through the clothing processing chamber. The dehydration airflow is used to drive the clothes hung in the clothing processing chamber to produce shaking in at least one direction, which can also achieve the effect of removing water from the hung clothes by the shaking action force. In addition, since the dehydration airflow directly flows through the hung clothes, the water vapor on the clothes can be directly blown away by the passing airflow, thereby achieving the effect of air-drying the clothes and greatly improving the dehydration rate of the hung clothes.

[0059] In this embodiment, the air duct structure provided on the clothing processing cabinet is a reversible air duct structure; the upper and lower ends of the clothing processing chamber are respectively connected to the first air duct and the second air duct, the first air duct can be used as an air inlet duct or an air outlet duct, and the second air duct can be used as an air outlet duct or an air inlet duct. Thus, the dehydration airflow from top to bottom can flow through the clothing processing chamber, and the dehydration airflow from bottom to top can also flow through. Of course, a third air duct can also be added to the clothing processing cabinet, and the third air duct is connected to the middle of the clothing processing chamber to achieve the effect of the dehydration airflow flowing from the middle to the top and / or downward in the clothing processing cabinet. In this embodiment, during the dehydration process, the dehydration airflow can be any one or a combination of airflows flowing through the clothing processing chamber from top to bottom, from bottom to top, from the middle to the top, from the middle to the bottom, etc. Thus, the wind direction of the dehydration airflow flowing through the clothing processing chamber can adopt variable or multiple styles of airflow to dehydrate the hung clothes, and then different dehydration airflows can be used to drive the hung clothes to sway in different directions, further improving the dehydration effect of the hung clothes.

[0060] In this embodiment, during the t31 time period of the dehydration process, the first dehydration airflow flows from top to bottom in the clothing processing chamber; during the t32 time period of the dehydration process, the second dehydration airflow flows from bottom to top in the clothing processing chamber. Thus, the effect of using different dehydration airflows to drive the hanging clothes to shake in multiple directions at different time points in the dehydration process is achieved, thereby achieving a significant technical progress of shaking and dehydrating the hanging clothes in different directions and greatly improving the dehydration effect of the hanging clothes.

[0061] In this embodiment, during the dehydration process, the following steps are cyclically performed:

[0062] The clothes hanger is driven to cause the hanging clothes to swing left and right for a set duration t301;

[0063] The first dehydration airflow flows from top to bottom in the laundry processing chamber for a set time t302;

[0064] The clothes hanger is driven to cause the hanging clothes to swing left and right for a set time t303;

[0065] The second dehydration airflow flows from bottom to top in the clothing processing chamber for a set time t304.

[0066] In this embodiment, after the above four steps are executed in a cycle and the dehydration process reaches the set time each time,

[0067] After t301+t302+t303+t304, it is determined whether the dehydration time reaches the set time t30; if so, the dehydration ends; if not, the above four steps are executed again in a loop. Thus, the wind direction of the dehydration airflow is continuously changed in the dehydration process, and the shaking mode of the hanging clothes is further enriched, thereby achieving a significant technical progress in improving the dehydration effect.

[0068] In this embodiment, the dehydration airflow flowing through the clothes processing chamber is an intermittent airflow in the form of intermittent switching; that is, the dehydration airflow flows through for a period of time and then stops flowing at another interval. Therefore, the dehydration airflow flowing through the clothes processing chamber is an intermittent airflow, so that the hanging clothes can be effectively swung by using the switching nodes of the intermittent airflow, and then the moisture on the clothes can be effectively shaken off by using the swinging action, so as to significantly improve the dehydration effect of the hanging clothes.

[0069] Preferably, any one or a combination of different settings are made for the duration of each time the dehydration airflow is turned on, the flow rate, the flow rate, and the duration of each time the dehydration airflow is turned off, so as to achieve the effect of swinging the hung clothes in different directions and with different amplitudes by using different gap airflows during the dehydration process, thereby further improving the dehydration effect of the hung clothes.

[0070] In this embodiment, the end condition of each dehydration process is any one or a combination of the dehydration time reaching the set time t30, the humidity value of the hanging clothes reaching the set value, and the liquid level change rate in the water storage chamber being less than the set value. Preferably, in this embodiment, for the sake of convenience, only the dehydration time reaching the set time t30 is used as an example for description, but the technical solutions constituted by the above other end conditions still fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0071] In this embodiment, when the dehydration airflow flows through the clothing processing chamber, the clothes hanger is synchronously driven to drive the hanging clothes to swing left and right, so as to drive the hanging clothes to swing by using two different driving forces, thereby greatly increasing the swing amplitude and improving the dehydration effect of the clothes. At the same time, different dehydration airflows can be combined with different driving hanger forces during the dehydration process, thereby enriching the swing patterns of the hanging clothes, significantly improving the dehydration effect of the hanging clothes, and enhancing the stretchability of the clothes after dehydration.

[0072] In this embodiment, after the dehydration process of the clothing treatment cabinet is completed, a drainage step is required to open the drainage pipe connecting the water storage chamber to the outside, and discharge the water in the water storage chamber to the outside of the clothing treatment cabinet through the drainage pipe, so as to achieve the purpose of discharging the dehydrated water flow of the clothing to the outside.

[0073] like Figures 6a to 6c As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the washing process of the clothes processing cabinet is as follows:

Stop the action of the clothes hanging rod, stop the air supply to the clothes processing chamber, connect the water storage chamber with the drain pipe, and drain the dehydrated water collected in the water storage chamber through the drain pipe until the water storage chamber reaches the empty water level;

[0080] Step S305: The dehydration process is completed.

[0081] Embodiment 2

[0085] S300. During the dehydration process, the dehydration method described in the following embodiment 1 may be used to drive the hanging clothes to shake, and the shaking force is used to remove water from the hanging clothes.

[0086] In this embodiment, during the rinsing process, clean water is introduced into the water storage chamber of the clothing treatment cabinet; the clean water is used to spray and wash the hung clothes from the upper spray arm, the lower spray arm, and the middle spray arm. At the same time, during the rinsing process, the clothes hanging rod drives the hanger to swing left and right; in addition, during the rinsing process, when the set time t201 is reached, the clothes hanging rod drives the hanger to produce a deflection displacement; preferably, during the rinsing process, when the set time t202 is reached, the rinsing process ends. During the rinsing process, the clothing treatment chamber is connected to the water storage chamber, and the clean water sprayed on the clothes falls to the bottom wall of the clothing treatment chamber and then flows back into the water storage chamber to form a circulating water flow. At the end of the rinsing process, the clean water in the water storage chamber is discharged outward until the water level in the water storage chamber reaches the empty water level. During the rinsing process, after the clean water in the water storage chamber is discharged to the empty water level, it is determined whether the number of rinses has reached the set number. If so, the rinsing process ends; if not, clean water is added to the water storage chamber again, and the clean water is used to spray and clean the hung clothes.

Turn on the pump to spray the rinsing water in the water storage chamber onto the hanging clothes through the upper spray arm provided on the top of the clothes processing cabinet, the middle spray arm provided on the side, and the lower spray arm provided on the bottom. The rinsing water after spraying and rinsing the clothes falls to the bottom wall of the clothes processing chamber and then flows back to the water storage chamber to form a cycle.

[0091] Step S204. When the rinsing time reaches the set time t20, the rinsing is finished; turn off the pump, open the drain pipe connected to the water storage chamber, and drain the rinsing water in the water storage chamber until the water storage chamber reaches the empty water level;

[0092] Step S205. Determine whether the number of rinses reaches the set number N; if so, execute step S206; if not, execute step S201 again;

[0093] Step S206: The rinsing process is completed.

[0095] Step S2031. The clothes hanger rod drives the clothes hanger to maintain a normal, non-deflected displacement position; until the set time t201 is reached, executing step S2032;

[0096] Step S2032: The clothes hanger rod drives the clothes hanger to generate a clockwise deflection displacement; until the set time t202 is reached, step S2033 is executed;

[0097] Step S2033: The clothes hanging rod drives the clothes hanger to generate a deflection displacement in the counterclockwise direction;

[0098] Step S204: When the rinsing time reaches the set time t20, the rinsing is finished.

[0099] Preferably, in the above step S203, the following steps may also be performed simultaneously:

[0100] S2031. Execute the current rinse;

[0103] S2034. The clothes hanger rod drives the hanger to deflect in the counterclockwise direction for a set duration of t2003;

[0104] S2035. Determine whether the rinsing end time t20 has been reached; if so, execute step S204; if not, execute steps S2032 to S2034 again in sequence;

[0105] S204. The current rinsing is finished.

[0106] Embodiment 3

[0111] In this embodiment, the washing process includes an nth washing step: turning on the pump, spraying the washing water of normal concentration in the water storage chamber to the hanging clothes through any one or a combination of the upper spray arm provided on the top of the clothes processing cabinet, the middle spray arm provided on the side wall, and the lower spray arm provided on the bottom, and the washing water after spraying the clothes falls to the bottom wall of the clothes processing chamber and then flows back to the water storage chamber to form a cycle; the n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2;

[0112] Preferably, in each of the above-mentioned washing steps, any one or a combination of upper spray arms, middle spray arms and lower spray arms are used to spray wash the hung clothes, so that different steps respectively use different spray washing water flows to spray wash the hung clothes.

[0113] In this embodiment, the washing process includes:

[0114] The first washing step: turning on the pump, spraying the washing water of normal concentration in the water storage chamber to the hanging clothes through any one or a combination of the upper spray arm provided on the top of the clothes processing cabinet, the middle spray arm provided on the side wall, and the lower spray arm provided on the bottom, and the washing water after spraying the clothes falls to the bottom wall of the clothes processing chamber and then flows back to the water storage chamber to form a cycle;

[0115] The second washing step: turning on the pump, spraying the washing water of normal concentration in the water storage chamber onto the hanging clothes through the upper spray arm provided at the top of the clothes processing cabinet and the middle spray arm provided at the side, and the washing water after spraying the clothes falls to the bottom wall of the clothes processing chamber and then flows back to the water storage chamber to form a cycle; or, spraying the washing water of normal concentration in the water storage chamber onto the hanging clothes through the lower spray arm provided at the bottom of the clothes processing cabinet and the middle spray arm provided at the side, and the washing water after spraying the clothes falls to the bottom wall of the clothes processing chamber and then flows back to the water storage chamber to form a cycle;

[0116] The third washing step: turn on the pump to spray the washing water of normal concentration in the water storage chamber onto the hung clothes through the upper spray arm on the top of the clothing processing cabinet, the middle spray arm on the side, and the lower spray arm on the bottom. The washing water after spraying the clothes falls to the bottom wall of the clothing processing chamber and then flows back to the water storage chamber to form a circulation.

[0117] Through the above method, the upper and lower spray arms are used to spray and rinse the hung clothes in the initial stage of the washing process, and the stains on the surface of the hung clothes are effectively rinsed by the upper and lower spray water flows, so that the hung clothes after rinsing can be effectively spray washed; at the same time, through the above method, the upper and middle spray arms or the lower and middle spray arms are used to spray and wash the hung clothes in the middle stage of the washing process, so that the hung clothes can be effectively washed by the washing water flow sprayed from the side, and the stains on the clothes can be effectively removed by the impact of the washing water flow; and further, through the above method, the upper, middle and lower spray arms are used to cover and spray wash the hung clothes in the later stage of the washing process, so that the hung clothes can be washed by all-round spray impact, so that the clothes that have been fully and evenly mixed with the washing water can be thoroughly and all-round washed and decontaminated, thereby greatly improving the spray washing effect of the hung clothes.

[0118] In this embodiment, the end condition of each washing step is any one or a combination of the washing time reaching the set time, the turbidity value of the hanging clothes reaching the set setting, and the liquid level change rate in the water storage chamber being less than the set value. In the embodiment of the present invention, the washing time reaching the set time is taken as an example as the end condition of the washing step, but other existing methods can also be used as the end judgment condition in this application.

[0119] In this embodiment, during the washing process, the clothes hanging rod drives the clothes hanger to produce at least one deflection displacement, so that the hanging orientations of the clothes hung in the clothes processing chamber are different in at least two washing steps; preferably, in each washing step, the clothes hung in the clothes processing chamber are in different hanging orientations. By increasing the deflection displacement of the clothes during the washing process, the clothes in different orientations can be sprayed and washed in a targeted manner using different washing water flows, further improving the spray washing effect of the hung clothes.

[0120] In this embodiment, in at least one washing step, the clothes hanging rod drives the clothes hanger to deflect at least once, so that in the above washing step, the clothes hung in the clothes processing chamber are hung in different directions at different time periods. Therefore, any spray washing water flow can correspond to multiple clothes hanging directions, so that the washing water flow can directly spray wash different parts of the clothes.

[0121] In this embodiment, during the washing process, the clothes hanging rod drives the hanger to swing left and right, driving the clothes hung on the hanger to swing left and right continuously. Thus, the spray washing water flows into contact with different positions of the swinging clothes, which effectively improves the washing effect; at the same time, during the washing process, the spray washing water and stains attached to the clothes can be shaken off by the continuous swinging of the clothes left and right, effectively reducing the stains on the surface of the clothes and the retention of washing water, greatly improving the spray washing effect of the hung clothes.

[0122] In this embodiment, during the washing process of the clothes treatment cabinet, the bottom of the clothes treatment chamber is connected to the water storage chamber; the spray water sprayed on the clothes by the spray arm falls to the bottom wall of the clothes treatment chamber, and then flows back to the water storage chamber, so that the washing water in the water storage chamber circulates. Through the above method, during the whole process of washing the clothes, the rinsing water and the spray water of the clothes can flow back to the water storage chamber, so that the washing water circulating between the water storage chamber, the spray arm and the clothes treatment chamber is always used to effectively spray wash the clothes during the washing process, which not only saves water and reduces energy consumption, but also significantly improves the spray washing effect of the clothes.

[0123] In this embodiment, during the washing process of the clothes treatment cabinet, it is determined whether the washing time reaches the set time t1; if so, the washing is completed, the water supply to the spray arm is stopped, and the washing water in the water storage chamber is discharged outward. Of course, other ways of determining the end of the washing process can also be used in the present invention, for example: turbidity detection is performed on the hanging clothes, and when the turbidity drops to a set value, the washing is determined to be completed, and the washing process of the clothes treatment cabinet is controlled to end.

[0124] In this embodiment, after the washing process in the clothing treatment cabinet is completed, a drainage step is required to open the drainage pipe connecting the water storage chamber to the outside, and discharge the washing water in the water storage chamber to the outside of the clothing treatment cabinet through the drainage pipe, thereby achieving the purpose of discharging the washing water to the outside.
