It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. For example, although the present embodiment is introduced in conjunction with a clothing care cabinet, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art may apply the present application to other clothing care equipment. For example, washing machines, dryers, washing and drying machines, etc.

[0126] First refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the clothing care cabinet of the present application is described. Among them, Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the clothing care cabinet of the present application; Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the hydroxyl radical module in this application.

[0127] In order to solve the problem of how to effectively remove the odor of clothes 9 and improve the care effect of clothes 9, the clothing care cabinet of the present application includes a cabinet body 1, a door body 2, a fan 3 and a hydroxyl radical module 5. Among them, an air duct 12 and a care cavity 11 with an opening are formed on the cabinet body 1, and the air duct 12 is connected to the care cavity 11 through an air inlet 14 and an air return port 13. The door body 2 is connected to the cabinet body 1 and can close the care cavity 11. The fan 3 is arranged in the air duct 12. The hydroxyl radical module 5 is arranged in a sealed cavity 8 on the outer wall of the care cavity 11, and the sealed cavity 8 is connected to the care cavity 11 through an injection hole and is connected to the air duct 12 through an air path 81.

[0128] In the present application, the gas circulation path is that, under the action of the fan 3, the hydroxyl radicals generated by the hydroxyl radical module 5 enter the care cavity 11 through the injection hole, so that the clothes 9 can be deodorized, and the gas in the care cavity 11 enters the air duct 12 through the return air port 13, and part of the gas in the air duct 12 enters the care cavity 11 through the air inlet 14, so that the clothes 9 in the care cavity 11 can be deodorized, and part of the gas flows into the sealed cavity 8 through the loop, and the hydroxyl radical module 5 in the sealed cavity 8 generates hydroxyl radicals. Among them, the active oxygen generates hydroxyl radicals according to the following formulas (1) and (2):

[0129] O3+H2O→O2+H2O2 (1);

[0130] H2O2→2OH - (2).

[0131] The moisture comes from the moisture contained in the air in the care cavity 11 and the air duct 12 .

[0132] The present application sets the hydroxyl radical module 5 in the sealed cavity 8 and the sealed cavity 8 is connected with the care cavity 11 through the injection hole and connected with the air duct 12 through the air path 81, so that the hydroxyl radicals generated by the hydroxyl radical module 5 can enter the care cavity 11, and the clothes 9 in the care cavity 11 are deodorized. The gas in the care cavity 11 then enters the air duct 12 through the return air port 13, part of the gas in the air duct 12 enters the care cavity 11 through the air inlet 14, and the remaining gas enters the sealed cavity 8 through the air path 81, forming a cycle in sequence, deodorizing the clothes 9 and improving the user experience.

[0133] See below for further reference Figure 1 and Figure 2, a preferred embodiment of the clothing care cabinet of the present application is introduced. Those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments described below are only used to illustrate the principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. On the premise that the clothing care cabinet at least includes a cabinet body 1, a door body 2, a fan 3 and a hydroxyl radical module 5, those skilled in the art can adjust the following settings so that the present application can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0134] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a more preferred embodiment, the clothing care cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, a door body 2, a plasma module 6, a fan 3, a heating module 4, a hydroxyl radical module 5 and a steam module 7.

[0135] See also Figure 1 The cabinet 1 is in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and an air duct 12 and a nursing cavity 11 with an opening are formed on the cabinet 1, and the air duct 12 is below the nursing cavity 11, and the air duct 12 is connected to the nursing cavity 11 through an air inlet 14 and an air return port 13. The door 2 is hinged to the cabinet 1 and can seal the nursing cavity 11 when the door 2 is closed. The door 2 is provided with an in-place sensor, which can determine whether the door 2 is in place, and further determine whether the nursing cavity 11 is sealed.

[0136] Of course, the present application does not have a fixed shape for the cabinet 1, and those skilled in the art can adjust it according to specific circumstances. For example, the shape of the cabinet 1 can also be a cube or other shapes. In addition, the present application has no restrictions on the specific structure of the in-place sensor, as long as it can determine whether the door body 2 is in place. For example, the in-place sensor can be a reed switch disposed on the cabinet 1, and a magnet disposed on the door body 2 and adapted to the reed switch. Alternatively, the in-place sensor can be a magnet disposed on the cabinet 1, and a reed switch disposed on the door body 2 and adapted to the magnet.

[0137] See next Figure 1 The air duct 12 is provided with a plasma module 6, a fan 3, a heating module 4 and a steam module 7. The heating module 4 includes a heating unit 41 and an auxiliary heating unit 42. The auxiliary heating unit 42 is arranged in the air duct 12 near the return air port 13. The plasma module 6 is arranged in the air duct 12 near the air inlet 14. The steam module 7 is arranged in the air duct 12 between the auxiliary heating unit 42 and the plasma module 6. The fan 3 and the heating unit 41 are arranged in accordance with the flow direction of the gas in the air duct 12 (such as Figure 1 Set them in sequence from right to left in the figure.

[0138] Of course, the present application has no restrictions on the specific forms of the heating unit 41 and the auxiliary heating unit 42, as long as the heating unit 41 and the auxiliary heating unit 42 can heat the gas and decompose the active oxygen at the same time. For example, the heating unit 41 can be a heating pump or a heating tube, and the auxiliary heating unit 42 can be a heating wire, a heating sheet or a thermistor. Of course, in other preferred embodiments, the setting of the heating unit 41 or the auxiliary heating unit 42 is not fixed, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the specific situation. For example, the heating module 4 only includes the auxiliary heating unit 42, or the heating module 4 only includes the heating unit 41.

[0139] In addition, the specific locations of the plasma module 6, the fan 3, the heating module 4 and the steam module 7 are not fixed in the present application, and those skilled in the art can adjust them according to specific circumstances. For example, the auxiliary heating unit 42 is arranged in the air duct 12 near the air inlet 14, the plasma module 6 is arranged in the air duct 12 near the return air outlet 13, and the steam module 7, the heating unit 41 and the fan 3 are arranged in the air duct 12 according to the flow direction of the gas (such as Figure 1 Set them in sequence from right to left in the figure.

[0140] It should also be noted that the present application has no limitation on the specific configuration of the plasma module 6, as long as the plasma module 6 can decompose the active oxygen. For example, the plasma module 6 can be an ultraviolet lamp, which emits ultraviolet light to convert the moisture and active oxygen in the gas into hydroxyl radicals. Preferably, the ultraviolet lamp can emit a 254nm ultraviolet band, which can convert the trace active oxygen generated by the hydroxyl radical module into hydroxyl radicals under this band.

[0141] See next Figure 1 The steam module 7 includes a steam generator 71 and a water tank 72, which are connected to each other through a pipe, and a water inlet valve 73 is provided on the pipe. When the steam module 7 is running, the water inlet valve 73 is controlled to open and the steam generator 71 is started, so that the water in the water tank 72 can enter the steam generator 71 to generate steam. When the steam module 7 stops running, the water inlet valve 73 is controlled to close and the steam generator 71 stops running. The steam module 7 can prevent the clothes 9 from being deformed on the one hand, and can also provide water for the generation of hydroxyl radicals on the other hand.

[0142] See next Figure 1 and Figure 2, the outer wall of the care cavity 11 is provided with a sealed cavity 8, the sealed cavity 8 is connected with the care cavity 11 through an injection hole, a hydroxyl radical module 5 is provided in the sealed cavity 8, the hydroxyl radical module 5 includes a driving module 51 and a generating module 52, the generating module 52 includes a bracket frame 521, two groups of active oxygen generating sheets 522 are provided in the bracket frame 521, the two groups of active oxygen generating sheets 522 are arranged side by side and a gap is provided between the two, and one end of the active oxygen generating sheet 522 is connected to the bracket frame 521, and the other end is suspended in the bracket frame 521. An electrode needle 523 is provided in the gap, one end of the electrode needle 523 is connected to the bracket frame 521, and the other end is suspended in the bracket frame 521. The active oxygen generating sheet 522 and the electrode needle 523 are both connected to the driving module 51 through a power line 53. The above-mentioned setting method can increase the contact area between the gas and the active oxygen generating sheet 522 and the electrode needle 523, improve the generation efficiency of hydroxyl radicals, and thus improve the deodorization effect of the clothes 9. The driving module 51 is a high-voltage driving module 51 , under the action of which the active oxygen generating sheet 522 can generate active oxygen, and the electrode needle 523 can convert active oxygen and water into hydroxyl free radicals.

[0143] There are two control methods depending on whether there is a steam module 7 in the clothing care cabinet. The following is an introduction to the control method of the clothing care cabinet of the present application when there is no steam module 7 in the clothing care cabinet. Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a control method of a clothing care cabinet according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0144] The clothing care cabinet is a clothing care cabinet that does not contain the steam module 7 in any of the above embodiments. The first operation is that the hydroxyl radical module 5 and the fan 3 are running. The second operation is that the fan 3 is running and the hydroxyl radical module 5 is stopped. The control method of the clothing care cabinet includes:

[0145] S101, when the clothing care cabinet is turned on, the clothing care cabinet is controlled to run according to a first operation, and a first running time t1 of the first operation is obtained. For example, after the clothing care cabinet is turned on, the hydroxyl radical module 5 and the fan 3 are controlled to start running, and the first running time t1 of the first operation is obtained.

[0146] S102, comparing the first running time t1 with the first preset time kn. For example, after obtaining the first running time t1 of the first operation, the first running time t1 and the first preset time kn are compared by comparing whether the difference between the first running time t1 and the first preset time kn is greater than or equal to 0, or whether the ratio between the two is greater than or equal to 1, so as to determine whether the first operation of the clothing care cabinet is completed.

[0147] S103, when t1≥kn, control the clothing care cabinet to run according to the second operation, and obtain the second operation time t11 of the second operation. For example, when t1≥kn, it means that the first operation of the clothing care cabinet is completed, and the second operation of the clothing care cabinet needs to start running, so the plasma module 6 and the fan 3 are controlled to run, the hydroxyl radical module 5 stops running, and the second operation time t11 of the second operation is obtained.

[0148] S104, comparing the second running time t11 with the second preset time knn. For example, after obtaining the second running time t11 of the second operation, the second running time and the second preset time knn are compared by comparing whether the difference between the second running time and the second preset time knn is greater than or equal to 0, or whether the ratio of the two times is greater than or equal to 1, so as to determine whether the second operation of the clothing care cabinet is completed.

[0149] S105, when t11≥knn, control the clothing care cabinet to operate according to the first operation. For example, when t11≥knn, it means that the second operation of the clothing care cabinet is completed, and the first operation of the clothing care cabinet needs to start, so the hydroxyl radical module 5 and the fan 3 are controlled to start operating.

[0150] S106, the first operation and the second operation are used as a cycle, and after the cycle is repeated n times, the clothing care cabinet is controlled to shut down. For example, the first operation and the second operation are used as a cycle, and after the cycle is repeated n times, it means that the clothing 9 in the clothing care cabinet has been cared for, so the clothing 9 equipment is controlled to shut down, that is, the hydroxyl radical module 5 and the fan 3 are running.

[0151] The present application controls the clothing care cabinet to operate according to the first operation, so that hydroxyl radicals can enter the care cavity 11, and the gas in the care cavity 11 enters the air duct 12 through the return air port 13. Part of the gas in the air duct 12 enters the care cavity 11 through the return air port 13, and part of the gas enters the sealed cavity 8 through the loop to continue to generate hydroxyl radicals for eliminating odors on the clothing 9. After the first operation is completed, the clothing care cabinet is controlled to operate according to the second operation, so that the hydroxyl radicals in the care cavity and the air duct can circulate to deodorize the clothing, so that the clothing care device can reduce the operating cost while deodorizing the clothing.

[0152] It should also be noted that, since the fan 3 is in a continuous operation state during the first operation and the second operation, the first operation time of the first operation also refers to the operation time of the hydroxyl radical module 5 .

[0153] In one embodiment, when the clothing care cabinet further includes a plasma module 6, the first operation is the operation of the hydroxyl radical module 5, the plasma module 6 and the fan 3;

[0154] The second operation is that the plasma module 6 and the blower 3 are running, and the hydroxyl radical module 5 is stopped.

[0155] In one embodiment, when the clothing care device further includes a heating module 4, the first operation is that the hydroxyl radical module 5 and the fan are running, and the heating module 4 stops running; and

[0156] The second operation is that the heating module 4 and the fan 3 are running, and the hydroxyl radical module 5 is stopped.

[0157] The second operating time of the second operation also refers to the operating time of the heating module 4 .

[0158] In one embodiment, the first preset time kn of the first operation when it is cycled for the nth time is less than or equal to the first preset time kn-1 of the first operation when it is cycled for the n-1th time; and

[0159] The second preset time knn when the second operation is looped for the nth time is less than or equal to the second preset time kn-1n-1 when the second operation is looped for the n-1th time.

[0160] It should be noted that the odor of the clothes 9 gradually fades during each cycle, so kn≤kn-1, knn≤kn-1n-1 are set, so as to reduce energy consumption while ensuring deodorization.

[0161] It should be noted that, taking n as 2 as an example, the first preset time k2 of the first operation when it is cycled for the second time is less than or equal to the first preset time k1 of the first operation when it is cycled for the first time, that is, k2≤k1. The second preset time k22 of the second operation when it is cycled for the second time is less than or equal to the second preset time k11 of the second operation when it is cycled for the first time, that is, k22≤k11.

[0162] In one implementation, kn≤knn, 2≤n≤5.

[0163] Combine the following Figure 4 , a possible operation process of the clothing care cabinet of the present application is briefly described. Figure 4 A logic diagram of a possible implementation method of the power supply control method of the clothing care cabinet of the present application

[0164] like Figure 4 As shown, in one possible operation process:

[0165] S201, when the clothing care cabinet is turned on, the hydroxyl radical module 5 and the fan 3 are controlled to operate, and then S202 is executed.

[0166] S202, obtaining the first running time t1 of the hydroxyl radical module 5, and then executing S203.

[0167] S203, determine whether t1≥k1 holds. If so, execute S204, otherwise execute S202.

[0168] S204, control the heating module 4 and the fan 3 to operate, and the hydroxyl radical module 5 to stop operating, and then execute S205.

[0169] S205, obtaining the second operating time t11 of the heating module 4, and then executing S206.

[0170] S206, determine whether t11≥k11 is established. If yes, execute S207, otherwise execute S205.

[0171] S207, control the hydroxyl radical module 5 and the fan 3 to operate, and stop the heating module 4, and then execute S208.

[0172] S208, obtaining the first running time t1 of the hydroxyl radical module 5, and then executing S209.

[0173] S209, determine whether t1≥k2 is established. If yes, execute S210, otherwise execute S208.

[0174] S210, control the heating module 4 and the fan 3 to operate, and the hydroxyl radical module 5 to stop operating, and then execute S211.

[0175] S211, obtaining the second operating time t11 of the heating module 4, and then executing S212.

[0176] S212, determine whether t11 ≥ k22 is established. If yes, execute S213, otherwise execute S211.

[0177] S213, controlling the clothing care cabinet to shut down.

[0178] The following describes the control method of the clothing care cabinet of the present application when there is a steam module 7 in the clothing care cabinet. Figure 5 This is a flow chart of a control method of a clothing care cabinet according to another embodiment of the present application.

[0179] The clothing care cabinet is a clothing care cabinet containing a steam module 7 in any of the above embodiments. The third operation is that the hydroxyl radical module 5 and the fan 3 are running; the fourth operation is that the fan 3 is running and the hydroxyl radical module 5 is stopped. The control method of the clothing care cabinet includes:

[0180] S301, when the clothing care cabinet is turned on, the clothing care cabinet is controlled to operate according to the third operation while controlling the steam module 7 to operate, and obtaining the third operation time T1 of the third operation. For example, after the clothing care cabinet is turned on, the hydroxyl radical module 5, the steam module 7 and the fan 3 are controlled to operate, and the third operation time T1 of the third operation is obtained.

[0181] S302, comparing the third running time T1 with the third preset time KN. For example, after obtaining the third running time T1 of the third operation, the third running time T1 and the third preset time KN are compared by comparing whether the difference between the third running time T1 and the third preset time KN is greater than or equal to 0, or whether the ratio between the two is greater than or equal to 1, so as to determine whether the third operation of the clothing care cabinet is completed.

[0182] S303, when T1≥KN, control the clothing care cabinet to operate according to the fourth operation, and obtain the fourth operation time T11 of the fourth operation. For example, when T1≥KN, it means that the third operation of the clothing care cabinet is completed, and the fourth operation of the clothing care cabinet needs to start running, so the fan 3 runs, the hydroxyl radical module 5 stops running, and the fourth operation time T11 of the fourth operation is obtained.

[0183] S304, comparing the fourth running time T11 with the fourth preset time KNN. For example, after obtaining the fourth running time T11 of the fourth operation, the fourth running time and the fourth preset time KNN are compared by comparing whether the difference between the fourth running time and the fourth preset time KNN is greater than or equal to 0, or whether the ratio of the two times is greater than or equal to 1, so as to determine whether the fourth operation of the clothing care cabinet is completed.

[0184] S305, when T11 ≥ KNN, control the clothing care cabinet to operate according to the third operation. For example, when T11 ≥ KNN, it means that the fourth operation of the clothing care cabinet is completed, and the third operation of the clothing care cabinet needs to start running, so the hydroxyl radical module 5, the steam module 7 and the fan 3 are controlled to operate.

[0185] S306, taking the third operation and the fourth operation as a cycle, after N cycles, control the clothing care cabinet to shut down. For example, taking the third operation and the fourth operation as a cycle, after N cycles, it means that the clothing 9 in the clothing care cabinet has been cared for, so the clothing 9 equipment is controlled to shut down, that is, the hydroxyl radical module 5, the fan 3, and the steam module 7 all stop running.

[0186] The present application controls the clothing care cabinet to operate according to the third operation, the steam generated by the steam module 7 in the air duct 12 enters the sealed cavity through the air path, the hydroxyl radical module 5 in the sealed cavity generates hydroxyl radicals, and the gas containing hydroxyl radicals enters the care cavity 11 through the injection hole to eliminate the odor on the clothing 9. After the third operation is completed, the clothing care cabinet is controlled to operate according to the fourth operation, so that the hydroxyl radicals in the care cavity and the air duct circulate to deodorize the clothing, so that the clothing care device can reduce the operating cost while deodorizing the clothing.

[0187] In one embodiment, the control method further includes:

[0188] When the clothing care cabinet is turned on, the current amount of steam in the care cavity 11 is obtained;

[0189] Compare the current steam volume with the preset steam volume;

[0190] When the current steam volume is greater than or equal to the preset steam volume, the steam module 7 is controlled to stop running.

[0191] It should be noted that when controlling the clothing care cabinet to operate according to the fourth operation, while obtaining the fourth operating time T11 of the fourth operation, it is also necessary to obtain the current steam amount in the care cavity 11. When the current steam amount in the care cavity 11 is greater than or equal to the preset steam amount, the steam module 7 is controlled to stop operating.

[0192] In one embodiment, when the clothing care cabinet further includes a plasma module 6, the third operation is the operation of the hydroxyl radical module 5, the plasma module 6 and the fan 3;

[0193] The fourth operation is that the plasma module 6 and the blower 3 are running, and the hydroxyl radical module 5 is stopped.

[0194] It should be noted that the plasma module 6 can decompose active oxygen in the gas, thereby improving safety.

[0195] In one embodiment, when the clothing care device further includes a heating module 4, the third operation is that the hydroxyl radical module 5 and the fan 3 are running, and the heating module 4 stops running;

[0196] The fourth operation is that the heating module 4 and the fan 3 are running, and the hydroxyl radical module 5 is stopped.

[0197] The second operating time of the second operation also refers to the operating time of the heating module 4 .

[0198] In one embodiment, the third preset time KN of the third operation when it is cycled for the Nth time is less than or equal to the third preset time KN-1 of the third operation when it is cycled for the N-1th time; and

[0199] When the fourth preset time KNN in the Nth time of the fourth operation cycle is less than or equal to the fourth preset time KN-1N-1 in the (N-1)th time of the fourth operation cycle.

[0200] It should be noted that during each cycle, the peculiar smell of the clothing 9 gradually fades. Therefore, it is set that KN ≤ KN-1 and KNN ≤ KN-1N-1, so as to reduce energy consumption while ensuring deodorization.

[0201] It should be noted that N is taken as 2 for illustration. The third preset time K2 in the second cycle of the third operation is less than or equal to the third preset time K1 in the first cycle of the third operation, that is, K2 ≤ K1. The fourth preset time K22 in the second cycle of the fourth operation is less than or equal to the fourth preset time K11 in the first cycle of the fourth operation, that is, K22 ≤ K11.

[0202] In one implementation, Kn ≤ Knn, 2 ≤ N ≤ 5.

[0203] Next, in combination with Figure 6 , a possible operation process of the clothing care cabinet of the present application will be briefly described.
