[0061] The following is a description of the implementation of the present invention by specific embodiments. People familiar with the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0064] It should also be noted that the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a product or system including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such a product or system. In the absence of more restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the product or system including the elements.

[0065] 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 construed as limiting the present invention.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a lifting rib assembly 100 , which can be applied to a fabric processing device 10 .

[0067] The fabric processing equipment may include but is not limited to washing machines, and the washing machines may include but are not limited to all-in-one washing and care machines, all-in-one washing and drying machines, etc. For example, the washing machine may be a drum washing machine or a pulsator washing machine with drying or washing and care functions, and of course, the washing machine may also be other types of fully automatic washing machines.

[0068] like Figure 8 As shown, the fabric treatment device 10 is taken as a washing machine as an example. The washing machine includes a fabric treatment drum 20, which may have a drying function and a washing function, so that the fabric treatment drum 20 can wash or dry the fabric to be treated. The fabric treatment drum 20 may contain a washing medium, which may include but is not limited to washing water, etc.

[0069] It should be noted that, refer to Figure 6 As shown, in this example and the following examples, the fabric treatment drum 20 is in the form of a drum. The fabric treatment drum 20 may include an inner drum 21.

[0070] The number of the lifting rib assembly 100 is at least one, that is, the number of the lifting rib assembly 100 can be one or more.

[0071] When there is one lifting rib assembly 100, the lifting rib assembly 100 can be arranged along the depth direction Y of the fabric treatment drum 20. During washing, the lifting rib assembly 100 can be used to collide with the fabric, so as to facilitate the pet hair or impurities adhering to the fabric to fall off, and then the fallen hair or impurities are captured by the lifting rib assembly 100. In this example and the following examples, hair dander includes pet hair or other types of impurities.

[0072] There may be more than one lifting rib assembly 100, and the plurality of lifting rib assemblies 100 may be arranged in a circumferential array on the inner wall of the fabric processing cylinder 20, wherein each lifting rib assembly 100 is arranged along the cylinder depth direction Y of the fabric processing cylinder 20. It should be noted that the lifting rib assembly 100 may also be arranged on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 21 at a predetermined angle to the cylinder depth direction Y.

[0073] It should be noted that the plurality of lifting rib assemblies 100 may also be arranged on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 21 along the cylinder depth direction Y in an irregular arrangement position. For example, the arrangement distances between any two adjacent lifting rib assemblies 100 are not equal. For another example, the arrangement direction of one of the lifting rib assemblies 100 is different from the arrangement direction of any other lifting rib assembly 100.

[0074] Similarly, when multiple lifting rib assemblies 100 are arranged in the inner drum 21, during washing, the rotation speed of the fabric processing drum 20 and the water level of the washing medium therein can be controlled so that the clothes can be tumbled and thrown in the fabric processing drum 20, so that the fabric can fully contact with different lifting rib assemblies 100, thereby facilitating the falling of pet hair or impurities adhered to the fabric, and then the detached hair or impurities are captured by the lifting rib assemblies 100.

[0075] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the lifting rib assembly 100 includes an outer shell 110 and an inner shell 120. The outer shell 110 is disposed on the inner wall of the fabric processing cylinder 20. Specifically, the outer shell 110 can be detachably disposed on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 21 of the fabric processing cylinder 20. A sealing member, such as a sealing ring, can be disposed at the contact position between the outer shell 110 and the inner cylinder 21 to improve the sealing of the contact between the outer shell 110 and the inner cylinder 21.

[0076] The housing 110 has an open port 111 on a side opposite to the fabric treatment cylinder 20 . The open port 111 is communicated with the outer wall of the inner cylinder 21 of the fabric treatment cylinder 20 . The open port 111 can facilitate the discharge of hair scraps captured by the lifting rib assembly 100 .

[0077] A drain port 211 is provided on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 21 , and the open port 111 is arranged opposite to the drain port 211 . That is, the hair scraps flowing out of the open port 111 will flow to the outside of the inner cylinder 21 through the drain port 211 .

[0078] In order to capture the lint that falls off the fabric during or before washing, multiple filter holes 112 are provided on at least two side walls of the housing 110 that are in contact with the rotation direction of the washing medium in the fabric treatment drum 20. The number of the filter holes 112 on at least two side walls may be the same or different. Furthermore, the arrangement of the filter holes 112 on at least two side walls may be the same or different.

[0079] The inner shell 120 is arranged inside the outer shell 110, and each side wall of the inner shell 120 is spaced apart from the side wall end of the corresponding inner wall of the outer shell 110, that is, the inner shell 120 can be buckled inside the outer shell 110, and the outer side wall of the inner shell 120 is spaced apart from the inner side wall of the outer shell 110 by a certain distance, which is convenient for the captured hair debris to pass through.

[0080] A plurality of flow channels 121 are provided on the side walls of the inner shell 120 opposite to the filter holes 112, and the flow channels 121 penetrate the side walls of the inner shell 120 along the thickness direction of each side wall of the inner shell 120. In order to facilitate the captured hair debris to pass through the flow channels 121 and not flow out of the flow channels 121 on the side wall of the other side of the inner shell, the flow path of the flow channels 121 and the flow path of the filter holes 112 are located at different positions.

[0081] There is a gap 130 between the interior of the inner shell 120 and the inner wall of the fabric treatment drum 20. When the rotating washing medium of the outer shell 110 collides positively, the hair in the washing medium passes through the filter hole 112 and the flow channel 121 located on the same side and is discharged from the gap 130.

[0082] The gap 130 and the opening 111 may be arranged opposite to each other or offset, and the hair scraps discharged from the gap 130 will pass through the opening 111 and the drainage port 211 in sequence and then be discharged to the outside of the inner cylinder 21 of the fabric processing cylinder 20 .

[0083] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a support plate 124 is disposed on a side of the inner shell 120 opposite to the inner wall of the fabric treating cylinder 20 .

[0084] In a direction perpendicular to the rotation of the washing medium, through grooves 125 communicating with any flow channel 121 are provided at both ends of the inner shell 120. When the support plate 124 abuts against the inner wall of the fabric treatment cylinder 20, a gap is enclosed between the through grooves 125 and the inner wall of the fabric treatment cylinder 20.

[0085] In one example, the fabric processing cylinder 20 further includes an outer cylinder (not shown in the figure) coaxially arranged with the inner cylinder 21 , the outer cylinder is sleeved on the inner cylinder 21 , and a gap is also formed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder 21 .

[0086] That is to say, the outer hair debris discharged into the inner drum 21 will be temporarily stored in the gap between the inner drum 21 and the outer drum. When the fabric processing device 10 runs the drainage program, the hair debris in the gap will be discharged to the outside of the fabric processing device 10 together with the washing medium in the inner drum 21, for example, discharged through a sewer.

[0087] In this example, the use of the lifting rib assembly 100 during washing is beneficial to the removal of lint on the surface of the fabric. The lint that has fallen off is captured by the filter holes set on the lifting rib assembly 100, and then the lint passes through the filter holes 112, the circulation channel 121 and the gap 130 in turn and is discharged out of the drum, thereby effectively improving the subsequent washing effect of the fabric, and also effectively improving the user experience of the fabric processing equipment.

[0088] like Figure 2 Combined with Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 110 includes at least a first side wall 113 and a second side wall 114. When the washing medium rotates, both the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 may collide with the washing medium.

[0089] When the fabric treatment drum 20 rotates forward or reversely, the washing medium also rotates forward or reversely, and the first side wall 113 is defined to contact the washing medium rotating forward, and the second side wall 114 is defined to contact the washing medium rotating reversely.

[0090] When the fabric processing drum 20 rotates forward, the hair debris captured by the lifting rib assembly 100 can enter between the outer shell 110 and the inner shell 120 through the plurality of filtering holes 112 provided on the first side wall 113 .

[0091] Furthermore, when the fabric treatment drum 20 rotates in the reverse direction, the hair debris captured by the lifting rib assembly 100 can enter between the outer shell 110 and the inner shell 120 through the plurality of filtering holes 112 provided on the second side wall 114 .

[0092] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple rows of filter hole groups are arranged on the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114, and each filter hole group includes multiple filter holes 112, wherein the number of filter holes 112 in one of the filter hole groups may be the same as or different from the number of filter holes 112 in any of the filter hole groups.

[0093] The filter holes 112 in two adjacent groups of filter spaces are staggered.

[0094] In this example, the staggered filter holes 112 can be used to effectively capture the disordered hair in the washing medium in the fabric treatment drum 20, so as to improve the efficiency of capturing the hair.

[0095] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter holes 112 are strip-shaped structures, and the filter holes 112 with strip-shaped structures can quickly capture strip-shaped hair debris.

[0096] In order to prevent the filter holes 112 from being blocked by large-sized impurities dropped from the fabric in the washing medium, ribs 1121 are provided in the filter holes 112 .

[0097] It should be noted that the large-sized foreign matter dropped from the fabric may include but is not limited to buttons and zippers.

[0098] The ribs 1121 are arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the filter holes 112 to divide the filter holes 112 into first through holes with the same cross-sectional size.

[0099] Alternatively, the filter hole 112 is divided into a first through hole and a second through hole having different cross-sectional sizes.

[0100] The size of the through hole defined by the ribs 1121 is not specifically limited, as long as the through hole can prevent most large-sized impurities from entering the through hole but does not prevent pet hair from entering.

[0101] In this example, the ribs 1121 are used to divide the filter holes 112 into through holes of various forms, thereby facilitating the capture of hair dander of different coarseness and fineness, or improving the capture of other materials with specifications slightly larger than pet hair, such as wool, etc., to effectively improve the efficiency of capturing hair dander.

[0102] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the inner shell 120 includes at least a third side wall 122 and a fourth side wall 123 .

[0103] The third side wall 122 is disposed opposite to the first side wall 113 , and the fourth side wall 123 is disposed opposite to the second side wall 114 .

[0104] A plurality of first transverse ribs 1221 and a plurality of first longitudinal ribs 1222 are disposed on the third side wall 122 , and the plurality of first transverse ribs 1221 and the plurality of first longitudinal ribs 1222 are arranged alternately to form a plurality of first channels 122a arranged in multiple rows and columns. The plurality of first channels 122a are opposite to the plurality of filter holes 112 on the first side wall 113 .

[0105] It should be noted that, the plurality of first channels 122a being opposite to the plurality of filter holes 112 on the first side wall 113 does not mean that one first channel 122a is opposite to one filter hole 112. The opposite here means that the third side wall 122 is opposite to the first side wall 113. However, the flow path of the first channel 122a is still at a different position from the flow path of the filter hole 112 on the first side wall 113.

[0106] The fourth side wall 123 is provided with a plurality of second transverse ribs 1231 and a plurality of second longitudinal ribs 1232, which are arranged alternately to form a plurality of second channels 123a arranged in multiple rows and columns. The plurality of second channels 123a are opposite to the plurality of filter holes 112 on the second side wall 114.

[0107] It should be noted that, the plurality of second channels 123a being opposite to the plurality of filter holes 112 on the second side wall 114 does not mean that one second channel 123a is arranged opposite to one filter hole 112. The relative here means that the fourth side wall 123 is arranged opposite to the second side wall 114. However, the flow path of the second channel 123a is still at a different position from the flow path of the filter hole 112 on the second side wall 114.

[0108] The plurality of first channels 122 a and the plurality of second channels 123 a form a plurality of flow channels 121 .

[0109] In this example, the first channel 122a and the second channel 123a are both composed of staggered transverse ribs and longitudinal ribs. Such a design can, on the one hand, form a circulation channel 121 for hair debris to pass through, and on the other hand, can effectively reduce the design and manufacturing weight and manufacturing cost of the inner shell 120 without reducing the supporting strength of the overall structure of the inner shell 120.

[0110] like Figure 3 Combined with Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, a first channel 122a of one of a plurality of first channels 122a arranged in multiple rows and columns is different from any other first channel 122a. It should be noted that the difference mentioned here refers to the fact that the cross-sectional shape, cross-sectional size or channel depth of any two first channels 122a are different.

[0111] Also, one of the second channels 123a arranged in multiple rows and columns is different from any other second channels 123a. It should be noted that the difference mentioned here refers to the fact that the cross-sectional shape, cross-sectional size or channel depth of any two second channels 123a are different.

[0112] In this example, the first channel 122a and the second channel 123a are both disordered channels, that is, by using the irregularly arranged channels in conjunction with the relative filter holes 112 in the outer shell 110, on the one hand, hair debris entering the inner shell 120 cannot leak out from the channel on the other side, thereby effectively preventing hair debris from leaking out, thereby improving the efficiency of capturing hair debris.

[0113] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the installation or removal efficiency between the housing 110 and the fabric treatment cylinder 20, the housing 110 is detachably disposed on the fabric treatment cylinder 20 in a plug-in connection manner.

[0114] For example, multiple buckles 115 are arranged inside the shell 110, and the multiple buckles 115 are plugged into multiple drainage ports 211 on the inner cylinder 21 of the fabric processing cylinder 20. Such a design allows the open port 111 in the shell 110 to be arranged opposite to the drainage port 211.

[0115] like Figure 2 Combined with Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a plug-in column 116 is further provided inside the outer shell 110. A plug-in slot 126 used in conjunction with the plug-in column 116 is provided on the outer surface of the inner shell 120. There are multiple plug-in columns 116, and there are multiple plug-in slots 126. The multiple plug-in columns 116 correspond to the multiple plug-in slots 126 one by one and are used in conjunction with each other.

[0116] In this example, the plug-in column 116 and the plug-in groove 126 used in conjunction with each other can improve the structural stability of the connection between the inner shell 120 and the outer shell 110, so that after the outer shell 110 is installed in place, the inner shell 120 can be prevented from shaking inside the outer shell 110 when the fabric processing cylinder 20 rotates, thereby ensuring and improving the service life of the lifting rib assembly 100.

[0117] Reference Figure 1As shown, a plurality of shrinkage prevention holes 119 are provided on the outer surface of the housing 110, and the shrinkage prevention holes 119 are provided corresponding to the plug-in posts 116 inside the housing 110. The shrinkage prevention holes 119 can prevent the housing 110 from shrinking and deforming after injection molding, and are used to ensure the design size of the housing 110 after the injection molding process.

[0118] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the insertion slot 126 toward the inside of the inner shell 120 extends into the inner shell 120 and forms a limiting protrusion 1261, the top of which is flush with the gap 130. With this design, the limiting protrusion 1261 does not hinder the use of the gap 130, and at the same time, the structural strength of the inner shell 120 can be effectively improved.

[0119] In some embodiments, the lifting rib assembly 100 further includes a fixing member (not shown in the figure), which may include but is not limited to a fixing bolt and the like.

[0120] The plug-in column 116 is provided with a fixing hole 1161 for the fixing member to pass through, wherein the fixing end of the fixing member passes through the fixing hole 1161 and penetrates the plug-in groove 126, and then the shell 110 is fixed to the inner wall of the fabric processing cylinder 20 to effectively improve the structural strength of the connection between the shell 110 and the fabric processing cylinder 20.

[0121] In order to further improve the structural strength of the connection between the housing 110 and the fabric processing cylinder 20, two fixing columns 117 are further provided inside the housing 110. The two fixing columns 117 are symmetrically arranged in the form of a diagonal line, wherein the fixing columns 117 are fixedly connected by fixing bolts.

[0122] A plurality of reinforcing ribs 118 are further provided inside the housing 110 , and the reinforcing ribs 118 can be used to effectively ensure and improve the supporting structural strength of the housing 110 .

[0123] Reference Figure 4 Combined with Figure 5 As shown, in one example, an accommodating space 127 is further formed inside the inner shell 120 , and the functional device box 140 can be placed in the accommodating space 127 .

[0124] The functional device box 140 is a split structure, that is, the functional device box 140 includes a main body 141 with a receiving cavity and a cover body 142 . The receiving cavity of the main body 141 can store nano silver ion particles, and the cover body 142 is provided with air holes 143 .

[0125] A mounting protrusion 1411 is provided at the same position on the side walls of the main body 141 and the cover body 142 , wherein the mounting protrusion 1411 is composed of two parts, namely a first part provided on the main body 141 and a second part provided on the cover body 142 , and the first part and the second part cooperate to form the mounting protrusion 1411 .

[0126] A slide 1271 is provided on the side wall of the accommodating space 127 to guide the installation protrusion 1411 during installation, and a mounting hole 1272 is provided on the side wall of the accommodating space 127 to fix the installation protrusion 1411.

[0127] In this example, the functional device box 140 is provided in combination with the nano silver ion particles to effectively resist bacteria and disinfect the lifting rib assembly 100.

[0128] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a fabric treatment drum 20, wherein the fabric treatment drum 20 includes the lifting rib assembly 100 of any of the above embodiments.

[0129] Specifically, the fabric treating drum 20 includes an inner drum 21 .

[0130] There are multiple lifting rib assemblies 100 , and the multiple lifting rib assemblies 100 are arranged on the inner wall of the inner tube 21 at intervals.

[0131] Among them, a plurality of lifting rib assemblies 100 can be arranged in a circumferential array on the inner wall of the fabric processing cylinder 20, wherein each lifting rib assembly 100 is arranged along the cylinder depth direction Y of the fabric processing cylinder 20. It should be noted that the lifting rib assembly 100 can also be arranged on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 21 at a predetermined angle to the cylinder depth direction Y.

[0132] It should be noted that the plurality of lifting rib assemblies 100 may also be arranged on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 21 along the cylinder depth direction Y in an irregular arrangement position. For example, the arrangement distances between any two adjacent lifting rib assemblies 100 are not equal. For another example, the arrangement direction of one of the lifting rib assemblies 100 is different from the arrangement direction of any other lifting rib assembly 100.

[0133] Similarly, when multiple lifting rib assemblies 100 are arranged in the inner drum 21, during washing, the rotation speed of the fabric processing drum 20 and the water level of the washing medium therein can be controlled so that the clothes can be tumbled and thrown in the fabric processing drum 20, so that the fabric can fully contact with different lifting rib assemblies 100, thereby facilitating the falling of pet hair or impurities adhered to the fabric, and then the detached hair or impurities are captured by the lifting rib assemblies 100.

[0134] In one example, the fabric processing cylinder 20 further includes an outer cylinder (not shown in the figure) coaxially arranged with the inner cylinder 21 , the outer cylinder is sleeved on the inner cylinder 21 , and a gap is also formed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder 21 .

[0135] That is to say, the outer hair debris discharged into the inner drum 21 will be temporarily stored in the gap between the inner drum 21 and the outer drum. When the fabric processing device 10 runs the drainage program, the hair debris in the gap will be discharged to the outside of the fabric processing device 10 together with the washing medium in the inner drum 21, for example, discharged through a sewer.

[0136] like Fig. 9 Combined with Fig.10 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a hair removal control method, which can be applied to a fabric processing device 10, which is capable of running a hair removal program, wherein the hair removal program includes a main wash stage and a rinse stage.

[0137] The hair removal control method comprises the following steps:

[0138] Step S100: In the main wash stage, the water level of the washing medium in the fabric treatment drum is controlled to be a first water level, and the fabric treatment drum is controlled to operate at a first rotation rhythm to capture at least part of the hair debris in the washing medium through the lifting rib assembly, and the first water level is lower than the preset hair removal wash water level in the fabric treatment drum.

[0139] Step S200: After the main wash phase is finished, the hair scraps collected by the lifting rib assembly are discharged together with the washing medium.

[0140] Step S300: During the rinsing stage, the water level of the washing medium in the fabric treatment drum is controlled to be a first water level, and the fabric treatment drum is controlled to operate at a first rotation rhythm. After the set running time, the water level of the washing medium is adjusted from the first water level to a second water level, and the fabric treatment drum is controlled to operate at a second rotation rhythm to continue to capture hair debris in the washing medium through the lifting rib assembly.

[0141] Step S400: After the rinsing stage is completed, the hair scraps collected by the lifting rib assembly are discharged together with the washing medium.

[0142] In step S100, a hair removal washing water level is set in the hair removal program, and the specific water level value of the hair removal washing water level can be flexibly set according to different types of pet hair, and is not specifically limited here. Among them, when the pet hair is the hair of a large dog among pet dogs, the hair removal washing water level can be set relatively high, and when the pet hair is the hair of a small or medium-sized dog among pet dogs or a pet cat, the hair removal washing water level can be set relatively low.

[0143] In the main wash stage, the control system of the fabric treatment device 10 controls the water level of the washing medium in the fabric treatment drum 20 to be the first water level, which is lower than the hair removal washing water level. It should be noted that the first water level does not exceed the highest point of the washed fabrics, and the water level value of the first water level may be just a little more than the soaking of the fabrics, so as to facilitate the fabrics to fall and tumble when the inner drum 21 rotates.

[0144] It should be noted that the control system of the fabric processing device 10 can adopt the control system in the prior art, as long as the control system can control various startup functions of the fabric processing device 10, and the specific structure type and specific control logic of the control system are not repeated here.

[0145] Then, the fabric treating drum 20 is controlled to operate at a first rotation rhythm so as to at least partially capture the hair debris in the washing medium through the lifting rib assembly 100 .

[0146] In one example, the first rotation rhythm of the fabric treating drum 20 includes:

[0147] The fabric processing drum 20 is controlled to rotate forward and reverse in a stepwise manner with a first acceleration value and to run for a first time.

[0148] The value range of the first acceleration value depends on the motor parameters of the motor driving the fabric processing drum 20 and the load parameters of the fabric. When the load parameters of the fabric are small, the value range of the first acceleration value may include 40-50rpm / s, and when the load parameters of the fabric are large, the value range of the first acceleration value may include 30-40rpm / s.

[0149] The first time can be flexibly set according to the load parameter of the fabric, and the value range of the first time is not specifically limited here.

[0150] In this example, the fabric processing drum 20 is controlled to run at a first rotation rhythm, the fabric is continuously beaten in the fabric processing drum 20, and contacts the lifting rib assembly 100 with greater force, which is beneficial to the shedding of hair debris adhering to the fabric, and is also beneficial for the washing medium to impact the lifting rib assembly 100 with greater force, so that more hair debris flows into the interior of the lifting rib assembly 100.

[0151] Among them, the hair debris enters the interior of the lifting rib assembly 100 through one side of the lifting rib assembly 100 along with the washing medium. Due to the internal structure setting of the inner shell 120 in the lifting rib assembly 100, that is, the structural design of the filter hole 112 and the corresponding flow channel 121, the hair debris will not flow out from the other side of the lifting rib assembly 100. Finally, the hair debris will flow into the gap between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder along with the washing medium.

[0152] In step S200, after the main wash phase is finished, the fabric treatment device 10 runs a drainage process, and the hair scraps in the gap between the inner drum 21 and the outer drum can be discharged to the outside of the fabric treatment device 10 during the drainage phase.

[0153] In step S300, during the rinsing stage, the control system of the fabric treatment device 10 controls the water level of the washing medium in the fabric treatment drum 20 to be a first water level, and then controls the fabric treatment drum 20 to operate at a first rotation rhythm to further clean the lint on the fabric.

[0154] After the set time has passed, the control system adjusts the water level of the washing medium in the fabric treatment drum 20 from the first water level to the second water level. The second water level may be lower than or equal to the preset hair removal washing water level.

[0155] It should be noted that the setting time can be flexibly set according to the amount of fabric load, and is not specifically limited here. The water level of the second water level can be slightly higher than the highest point of the washed fabric, so that the hair scraps that have been separated from the fabric but not discharged float to the surface.

[0156] After the water level of the washing medium reaches the second water level, the fabric treatment drum 20 is controlled to operate at a second rotation rhythm so as to continue to capture the hair debris in the washing medium through the lifting rib assembly 100 .

[0157] In one example, the second rotation rhythm of the fabric treating drum 20 includes:

[0158] The fabric treating drum 20 is controlled to rotate forward and reverse in a stepwise manner with a second acceleration value and to run for a second time.

[0159] The second acceleration value is smaller than the first acceleration value, and the value range of the second acceleration value may include 20-25 rpm / s.

[0160] The second time can be flexibly set according to the load parameter of the fabric, and the value range of the second time is not specifically limited here.

[0161] In this example, when the fabric treatment drum 20 is running at the second rotation rhythm, the lifting rib assembly 100 will pass over the water surface of the washing medium, so that the hair scraps floating on the surface of the washing medium flow into the interior of the lifting rib assembly 100 along with the water flow.

[0162] Among them, the hair debris enters the interior of the lifting rib assembly 100 through one side of the lifting rib assembly 100 along with the washing medium. Due to the internal structure setting of the inner shell 120 in the lifting rib assembly 100, that is, the structural design of the filter hole 112 and the corresponding flow channel 121, the hair debris will not flow out from the other side of the lifting rib assembly 100. Finally, the hair debris will flow into the gap between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder along with the washing medium.

[0163] In step S400, after the rinsing stage is finished, the fabric treating apparatus 10 runs a drainage process, and the hair scraps in the gap between the inner tub 21 and the outer tub can be discharged to the outside of the fabric treating apparatus 10 during the drainage stage.

[0164] In this example, the torque of the motor that rotates the fabric treatment drum 20 can be controlled to increase or adjust the acceleration of the fabric treatment drum 20 during rotation, so that the fabric contacts the lifting rib assembly 100 with greater force, and the housing 110 in the lifting rib assembly 100 can remove the hair attached to the fabric surface. Then, in the main wash stage and the rinse stage, the water level values ​​of different washing media are controlled respectively, so that the hair debris will not flow out from the other side of the lifting rib assembly 100 after entering the lifting rib assembly 100, thereby removing the hair debris attached to the fabric surface and effectively improving the washing effect of the fabric.

[0165] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention further provides a fabric processing device 10 controlled by the hair removal control method of any of the above embodiments.
