[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. 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.

[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a clothes processing device. The clothes processing device may include a washing machine 1, and the washing machine may include but is not limited to a drum washing machine or a pulsator washing machine, etc., wherein the washing machine may also be other types of fully automatic washing machines.

[0026] The inner drum 11 in the washing machine 1 is connected to one of the air outlets of the home fresh air system 2 through the air inlet duct 3, so that fresh air is delivered to the inner drum 11 through the home fresh air system 2. The home fresh air system 2 has multiple air outlets, and the home fresh air system 2 can meet the needs of fresh air in various locations of the house. For example, one of the air outlets can be used to adjust the freshness, temperature and humidity of the indoor air.

[0027] The air inlet duct 3 is arranged inside the washing machine 1, wherein an air volume sensor can be arranged inside the air inlet duct 3, so as to quantify the amount of fresh air introduced into the washing machine 1. In addition, the clothing processing program of the washing machine 1 can be directly linked with the control module of the home fresh air system 2, the fresh air inlet switch of the washing machine 1 itself can be cancelled, and the fresh air inlet switch can be moved to the connection pipe between the home fresh air system 2 and the washing machine 1, so that the control module of the home fresh air system 2 can be used to directly perform logical control on the clothing processing program of the washing machine 1, effectively enriching the use scenarios of the home fresh air system 2.

[0028] In one example, an air outlet duct 4 is also provided inside the washing machine 1 and is arranged opposite to the air inlet duct 3, wherein one end of the air outlet duct 4 is connected to the gap between the inner drum 11 and the outer drum 12 of the washing machine 1, and the other end of the air outlet duct 4 can be connected to the outside. That is to say, the fresh air in the household fresh air system 2 can enter the inner drum 11 of the washing machine 1 through the air inlet duct 3, and the clothes in the inner drum 11 are processed accordingly by the fresh air, such as cooling or adjusting the humidity. The fresh air after processing the clothes in the inner drum 11 can be discharged to the outside through the air outlet duct 4. The flow path of the fresh air in this example is defined as the first air outlet mode of the fresh air outlet, and the control logic of the first air outlet mode is explained in the following embodiments.

[0029] It should be noted that in the first air outlet mode, the household fresh air system 2 is used as the power source of fresh air and provides fresh air to the inner drum 11, and the clothes in the inner drum 11 are treated accordingly by the fresh air, so that the mold in the inner drum 11 can be effectively solved, and the clothes in the inner drum 11 can be solved by not taking them out in time and becoming moldy. In addition, after the fresh air passing through the inner drum 11 is discharged from the air outlet duct 4, the user can intuitively feel the fresh air effect. Based on this, a fragrance module can be added to the air outlet duct 4, and the whole house adjustable fragrance function can be realized through the discharge of fresh air.

[0030] In another example, the fresh air entering the inner drum 11 through the air inlet duct 3 is discharged through the water inlet or outlet arranged on the outer drum 12 of the washing machine 1 after processing the clothes or the inner drum 11. The flow path of the fresh air in this example is defined as the second air outlet mode of the fresh air, wherein the control logic of the second air outlet mode is explained in the following embodiments.

[0031] In the second air outlet mode, the water inlet and outlet of the outer drum 12 of the washing machine 1 can both be used as outlets for fresh air, and this air outlet mode can also effectively solve the problem of mold in the inner drum 11, as well as the problem of clothes in the inner drum 11 not being taken out in time and becoming moldy.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in another example, when the fresh air of the household fresh air system 11 enters the inner drum 11 through the air inlet duct 3, the user can directly open the door of the washing machine 1 to allow the fresh air to be directly discharged from the inner drum 11 to the outside. The flow path of the fresh air in this example is defined as the third air outlet mode of fresh air outlet. In this third air outlet mode, the inner drum 11 in the open door state can realize the care function of pet hair.

[0033] Through the above-mentioned multiple fresh air outlet modes, the diversification of the air duct design in the washing machine 1 is achieved, so that according to different subsequent functional requirements, the household fresh air system 2 can be used to execute different air outlet modes, which can realize the mildew and odor removal function of the empty drum of the washing machine 1 without turning on the machine.

[0034] In the above example, the home fresh air system 2 is used as a power source to provide adjustable fresh air, and the linkage washing machine 1 can realize the fresh air replacement function in the inner drum 11. With the help of the adjustable fresh air volume provided by the home fresh air system 2, the user can directly and obviously feel the air outlet, which improves the user experience of the home fresh air system 2. At the same time, various indicators in the inner drum 11 (such as temperature, humidity, etc.) can be monitored in real time. Combined with the early warning system in the home fresh air system 2, a smart early warning system is provided to promptly remind the user to take the treated clothes out of the inner drum 11 to prevent the clothes from getting moldy, thereby improving the user experience.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a clothes processing device. The control method for the clothes processing device comprises the following steps:

[0036] Step S100: Determine the start-up program type of the washing machine based on the control module of the household fresh air system.

[0037] Step S200: selectively controlling the opening of the air inlet duct according to the type of the startup program.

[0038] Step S300: determining whether the current state of the inner drum within a predetermined time meets a preset requirement.

[0039] Step S400: When the current state meets the preset requirements, the home fresh air system is controlled to issue a warning message.

[0040] In step S100, the control module (not shown) of the home fresh air system 2 can determine the start program type of the washing machine 1, that is, the user selects the corresponding start program type according to the processing requirements of his own clothes, for example, whether the clothes need to be washed, dried or washed and dried, etc. After the user selects the corresponding start program type of the washing machine 1, the control module of the home fresh air system 2 can directly determine the start program type selected by the user.

[0041] It should be noted that the control module of the household fresh air system 2 can adopt the control system in the prior art, as long as the control module can control the various startup functions of the household fresh air system 2, and the specific structural type and specific control logic of the control module will not be repeated here.

[0042] In step S200, according to the type of startup program selected by the user, the household fresh air system 2 can determine when to start, that is, determine when to start the input of fresh air in the corresponding startup program type. Different startup program types can correspond to different inputs of fresh air volume to achieve the processing of clothes in the inner drum 11 or meet the user's fresh air needs. In this step, the control module can control the opening of the air inlet duct 3 to achieve the adjustability of the fresh air volume to meet the demand for fresh air volume in the inner drum 11 in different startup program types, thereby effectively solving the problem of moldy smell of clothes caused by the user's failure to take out the clothes in time. At the same time, the inner drum 11 and the inside of the washing machine 1 can also be de-molded and deodorized.

[0043] It should be noted that the control module of the household fresh air system 2 can adjust the amount of fresh air input into the inner drum 11 in real time according to the weight of the clothes in the inner drum 11, the temperature and humidity in the drum, and the air volume at the air outlet.

[0044] In one example, a control valve may be provided in the air inlet duct 3 and cooperated with an air volume sensor, so as to quantify the amount of fresh air introduced into the inner drum 11 of the washing machine 1. The control valve may include but is not limited to a stop valve or a ball valve.

[0045] In step S300, the control module of the household fresh air system 2 continues to determine whether the current state of the inner drum 11 of the washing machine 1 meets the preset requirements within the predetermined time. The predetermined time may be a certain time after the start program type of the washing machine 1 is selected and reaches the end node. The predetermined time may be a theoretical value or a specific value set when the washing machine 1 leaves the factory. For example, the predetermined time may be any value between 1min and 5min, or other time values ​​outside the above time interval range, which are not specifically limited here.

[0046] The current state in the inner drum 11 may include but is not limited to a humidity value.

[0047] In step S400, when the control module determines that the current state of the inner drum 11 meets the preset requirements, the control module controls the early warning system in the home fresh air system 2 to issue an early warning message to remind the user to take out the clothes in the inner drum 11 in time and dry them. In one example, when the humidity value in the inner drum 11 is lower than the set value, it can be determined that the current state meets the preset requirements.

[0048] In this example, the clothing processing program of the washing machine 1 is linked to the household fresh air system 2, so that the fresh air replacement of the inner drum 11 of the washing machine 1 is realized, and the early warning system of the household fresh air system 2 is used to remind the user to take out the clothes in time to prevent the clothes from getting moldy, thereby improving the user's experience and effectively enriching the use scenarios of the household fresh air system 2.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, according to the type of the startup program, the opening of the air inlet duct 3 can be selectively controlled by the following method:

[0050] The starting program types of the washing machine 1 include a washing program, a drying program and a wash-and-dry program.

[0051] Select the air outlet mode of the inner cylinder 11, wherein the air outlet mode includes a first air outlet mode and a second air outlet mode. It should be noted that the flow path of the fresh air in the first air outlet mode and the second air outlet mode can refer to the description in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0052] The first air outlet mode is a visual air outlet mode, which is configured so that the fresh air discharged from the air outlet duct 4 in the washing machine 1 can be intuitively felt by the user, for example, the discharged fresh air can directly blow on the human body, etc. The second air outlet mode is a non-visual air outlet mode, which is configured so that the fresh air in the inner drum 11 of the washing machine 1 directly acts on the clothes, and the user near the washing machine 1 cannot feel the effect of the fresh air at this time.

[0053] When the air outlet mode of the inner drum 11 is selected as the first air outlet mode, the first control logic is executed on the opening of the air inlet duct 3 according to the start program type of the washing machine 1 selected by the user end.

[0054] In one example, the first control logic is: when it is determined that the start program type of the washing machine 1 started by the user is a washing program, the end node of the washing program is obtained, and according to the first preset requirement, the air inlet duct 3 is controlled to open, and in order to achieve a balanced fresh air exchange effect in the inner drum 11, the air inlet duct 3 is maintained at the opening of the first air volume.

[0055] In a specific example, the end node may be the end of the spin drying in the washing program. The first preset requirement is: after the first delay time, determine whether the washing machine 1 generates a door opening action during the period; that is, whether the washing machine 1 generates a door opening action during the entire time period when the washing machine 1 operates in the washing program and within the first time.

[0056] During this period, the washing machine 1 generates a door opening action, and the control module assumes that the user has taken out clothes. At this time, the control module controls the opening of the air inlet duct 3 to zero to stop the household fresh air system 2 from delivering fresh air to the inner drum 11.

[0057] If the washing machine 1 does not open the door during the above period, the control module controls the air inlet duct 3 to open, and at the same time, controls the air inlet duct 3 to be opened at the first air volume, so as to maintain the fresh air volume discharged from the air outlet duct 4 of the washing machine 1 within the set air volume range. During the fresh air volume is the first air volume, the inner drum 11 circulates and rotates at a preset interval to shake out the clothes in the inner drum 11, thereby quickly reducing the humidity value in the inner drum 11.

[0058] It should be noted that the first time is an empirical value or a theoretical value set when the washing machine leaves the factory. The first time can be any value between 1 minute and 5 minutes, or other time values ​​outside the above time interval range, and is not specifically limited here.

[0059] In another example, the first control logic also includes: when it is determined that the start program type of the washing machine 1 started by the user end is a drying program or a wash-and-dry program, the end node of the drying program or the wash-and-dry program is obtained, and according to the second preset requirement, the air inlet duct 3 is controlled to open, and in order to achieve a balanced fresh air exchange effect in the inner drum 11, the air inlet duct 3 is maintained at a third air volume opening.

[0060] In a specific example, the end node may be the end of drying in the drying program or the washing and drying program. The second preset requirement is: after the second time delay, determine whether the washing machine 1 generates a door opening action during the period, that is, whether the washing machine 1 generates a door opening action during the entire time period when the washing machine 1 operates in the drying program or the washing and drying program and within the second time.

[0061] During this period, the washing machine 1 generates a door opening action, and the control module assumes that the user has taken out clothes. At this time, the control module controls the opening of the air inlet duct 3 to zero to stop the household fresh air system 2 from delivering fresh air to the inner drum 11.

[0062] If the washing machine 1 does not open the door during the above period, the comparison relationship between the current temperature in the inner drum 11 and the preset temperature is obtained. The current temperature can be obtained by a temperature sensor arranged in the inner drum 11. When the current temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the clothes in the inner drum 11 is within a suitable range. At this time, the control module can control the opening of the air inlet duct 3, and at the same time, control the opening of the air inlet duct 3 to the first air volume, so as to maintain the fresh air volume discharged from the air outlet duct 4 of the washing machine 1 in the set air volume range, wherein, during the period when the fresh air volume is the first air volume, the inner drum 11 circulates at intervals of a preset time to shake out the clothes in the inner drum 11, thereby quickly reducing the humidity value in the inner drum 11.

[0063] When the current temperature is greater than the preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the clothes in the inner drum 11 is high, or the internal temperature of the inner drum 11 is high, and the outlet temperature of the fresh air after the clothes or the inner drum 11 is processed is too high, which poses a safety hazard to the user. Therefore, after waiting for a certain period of time, when the current temperature in the inner drum 11 is less than or equal to the preset temperature, the air inlet duct 3 is controlled to be opened to the first air volume, so as to maintain the fresh air volume discharged from the air outlet duct 4 of the washing machine 1 within the set air volume range. During the period when the fresh air volume is delivered at the third air volume, the inner drum 11 circulates at a preset time interval to shake out the clothes in the inner drum 11, thereby quickly reducing the humidity value in the inner drum 11.

[0064] It should be noted that the second time is an empirical value or a theoretical value set when the washing machine leaves the factory. The second time can be any value between 1 minute and 5 minutes, or other time values ​​outside the above time interval range, and is not specifically limited here. Among them, the first time can be the same as the second time, or the first time can be different from the second time.

[0065] The air volume value in the third air volume can be different from the air volume value in the first air volume. For example, the third air volume is smaller than the first air volume. That is, the amount of fresh air introduced into the inner drum 11 in the drying program or the wash-drying program is smaller than the amount of fresh air introduced into the inner drum 11 in the wash-drying program.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, when the air outlet mode of the inner drum 11 is selected as the second air outlet mode, the user terminal selects the start program type of the washing machine 1 and executes the second control logic for the opening of the air inlet duct 3.

[0067] In one example, the second control logic is: when it is determined that the start program type of the washing machine started by the user is a washing program, the end node of the washing program is obtained, and according to the third preset requirement, the air inlet duct 3 is controlled to open, and in order to achieve a stable fresh air effect in the inner drum 11, the air inlet duct 3 is maintained at the second air volume opening.

[0068] In a specific example, the end node may be the end of the spin drying in the washing program. The third preset requirement is: after the fourth time is delayed, determine whether the washing machine 1 generates a door opening action during the period; that is, whether the washing machine 1 generates a door opening action during the entire time period when the washing machine 1 operates in the washing program and within the fourth time.

[0069] During this period, the washing machine 1 generates a door opening action, and the control module assumes that the user has taken out clothes. At this time, the control module controls the opening of the air inlet duct 3 to zero to stop the household fresh air system 2 from delivering fresh air to the inner drum 11.

[0070] If the washing machine 1 does not open the door during the above period, the control module controls the air inlet duct 3 to open, and at the same time, controls the air inlet duct 3 to open at the second air volume to ensure that the fresh air volume discharged from the air outlet duct 4 of the washing machine 1 is within the set air volume range. During the fresh air volume is the second air volume, the inner drum 11 circulates and rotates at a preset interval to shake out the clothes in the inner drum 11, thereby quickly reducing the humidity value in the inner drum 11.

[0071] It should be noted that the fourth time is an empirical value or a theoretical value set when the washing machine leaves the factory, and the first time can be any value between 1min and 5min, or other time values ​​outside the above time interval, which are not specifically limited here. The fourth time can be the same as the first time, or the fourth time can be different from the first time.

[0072] In another example, the second control logic also includes: when it is determined that the start program type of the washing machine 1 started by the user end is a drying program or a wash-and-dry program, the end node of the drying program or the wash-and-dry program is obtained, and according to the fourth preset requirement, the air inlet duct 3 is controlled to open, and in order to achieve a balanced fresh air exchange effect in the inner drum 11, the air inlet duct 3 is maintained at the opening of the fourth air volume.

[0073] In a specific example, the end node may be the end of drying in the drying program or the washing and drying program. The fourth preset requirement is: after the fifth time delay, determine whether the washing machine 1 generates a door opening action during the period, that is, whether the washing machine 1 generates a door opening action during the entire time period when the washing machine 1 operates in the drying program or the washing and drying program and within the fifth time.

[0074] During this period, the washing machine 1 generates a door opening action, and the control module assumes that the user has taken out clothes. At this time, the control module controls the opening of the air inlet duct 3 to zero to stop the household fresh air system 2 from delivering fresh air to the inner drum 11.

[0075] If the washing machine 1 does not open its door during the above period, the control module controls the air inlet duct 3 to open, and at the same time, controls the air inlet duct 3 to be opened to the fourth air volume, so as to maintain the fresh air volume discharged from the air outlet duct 4 of the washing machine 1 within the set air volume range, wherein, during the period when the fresh air volume is the fourth air volume, the inner drum 11 circulates and rotates at preset time intervals to shake out the clothes in the inner drum 11, thereby quickly reducing the humidity value in the inner drum 11.

[0076] It should be noted that the fifth time is an empirical value or a theoretical value set when the washing machine leaves the factory, and the fifth time can be any value between 1min and 5min, or other time values ​​outside the above time interval, and is not specifically limited here. The fifth time can be the same as the second time, or the fifth time can be different from the second time.

[0077] The air volume value in the fourth air volume may be different from the air volume value in the second air volume. For example, the fourth air volume is smaller than the second air volume. That is, the amount of fresh air introduced into the inner drum 11 in the drying program or the wash-drying program is smaller than the amount of fresh air introduced into the inner drum 11 in the wash-drying program.

[0078] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the step of determining whether the current state in the inner cylinder within a predetermined time meets the preset requirements includes:

[0079] When the current humidity in the inner drum 11 is lower than the preset humidity, or the operation time of the household fresh air system 2 reaches the minimum operation time, it is determined that the current state in the inner drum 11 meets the preset requirements. It should be noted that when the current state in the inner drum 11 meets any one of the above two preset requirements, it is determined that the current state meets the preset requirements.

[0080] When it is determined that the current state in the inner drum 11 meets the preset requirements, the control module controls the early warning system of the home fresh air system 2 to send out early warning information both locally and in the cloud to remind the user to take the clothes in time and carry out subsequent clothes drying.

[0081] In some embodiments, after the first warning message of the home fresh air system 2 is issued, if the washing machine 1 still does not open the door within the sixth time, the control module continues to control the operation of the home fresh air system 2, and controls the warning system of the home fresh air system 2 to issue a second warning message. It should be noted that the sixth time is an empirical value or a theoretical value set when the washing machine leaves the factory. In an example, the sixth time can be any value between 0.5min and 10min, or other time values ​​outside the above time interval range, which is not specifically limited here.

[0082] When the washing machine 1 still does not open the door after the sixth time or other time has passed since the second warning message was issued, the control module continues to control the operation of the household fresh air system 2 and controls the warning system of the household fresh air system 2 to issue the next warning message until the washing machine 1 opens the door.

[0083] Among them, during any of the above-mentioned operation periods of the household fresh air system 2, if the washing machine 1 generates an opening action, the control module assumes that the user has taken out clothes. At this time, the control module controls the opening of the air inlet duct 3 to zero, that is, stops the household fresh air system 2 from delivering fresh air to the inner drum 11.

[0084] In the above embodiment, the clothing processing program of the washing machine 1 is linked with the control module of the household fresh air system 2. Based on the control module of the household fresh air system 2, the household fresh air system 2 serves as the fresh air power source to deliver adjustable fresh air to the inner drum 11 of the washing machine 1, thereby realizing the fresh air replacement of the inner drum 11 of the washing machine 1, and using the early warning system of the household fresh air system 2 to remind the user to take the clothes in time to prevent the clothes from getting moldy, thereby providing a smart early warning system, thereby improving the user's sense of experience; on the other hand, in this example, based on the clothing processing process of the washing machine 1, combined with the whole-house smart fresh air scene, a complete solution for changing the fresh air in the whole-house washing and care space is realized, which embodies the concept of energy saving and environmental protection of the household fresh air system 2 while changing the fresh air in the whole house.

However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
