Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of home appliances, and specifically provides a control method, device, equipment, and medium for a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] During the drying process, clothes processing equipment such as clothes dryers and washer-dryers determine the estimated drying time based on the state characteristic parameters detected by sensors. Due to the different materials, water contents and entanglement of the load during the drying process, the estimated drying time determined based on the above-mentioned state characteristic parameters may not be accurate, and in some cases may be less than the actual drying time. Since the clothes processing equipment counts down based on the estimated drying time during the drying process, when the estimated drying time is less than the actual drying time, the countdown starting from the estimated drying time cannot cover the actual drying time. To solve the above-mentioned problem, the solutions provided by the relevant technology include the following two: (1) when the estimated drying time re-determined during the drying process is greater than the previous estimated drying time, the countdown display time is jumped back; (2) when the drying countdown is completed but the clothes are not dry, the countdown jump is paused. However, the above-mentioned two countdown display methods for solving the conflict between the estimated drying time and the actual drying time conflict with the user's intuitive understanding of the countdown, making it easy for the user to find that the estimated drying time is inaccurate or there is a problem with the display logic, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0072] The following describes embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment"; the term "another embodiment" means "at least one other embodiment"; the term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments".

[0074] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "plurality" mentioned in the present disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, they should be understood as "one or more".

[0075] To address the poor user experience caused by the conventional countdown display of clothes handling devices, which displays the countdown in a rebound or paused manner when the actual drying time is longer than the estimated drying time, the present invention provides a new control method for clothes handling devices. The control method provided by the present invention adjusts the jump rate of the countdown display based on actual conditions. By changing the jump rate, the countdown display starting from the estimated drying time covers the actual drying time.

[0076] Before analyzing the control method of the clothing processing device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, some terms and operations mentioned in the subsequent analysis process are first explained to unify the understanding thereof throughout the text.

[0077] The laundry processing device mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure is a device that can dry a load (i.e., wet laundry) to produce dried laundry. In specific implementations, the laundry processing device can be a washing machine that is an all-in-one washer and dryer, or a dryer specifically for drying laundry. Depending on the drying operating principle, the laundry processing device can be an electric heating drying device, a heat pump drying device, etc.

[0078] The drying program controls the drying process of the laundry machine. Depending on the program settings, the drying program's steps may vary. For example, a drying program may include a drying time estimation process, pre-drying, spin drying, drying, and cooling.

[0079] The drying time estimation operation uses a specific method to estimate the drying time of a load. Specifically, the drying time estimation operation can be based on the weight detection of the load. For example, the control device can control the laundry processing drum of the laundry processing device to rotate the load at a preset power, estimate the load weight based on the dynamic characteristic parameters detected during the load rotation, and determine the estimated drying time based on the weight.

[0080] The pre-drying operation is to heat the load so that the load can be heated quickly, thereby increasing the kinetic energy of water evaporation in the clothes. In a specific implementation, the clothes processing equipment can be controlled to use electric heating or heat pump heating to dry the load.

[0081] The dehydration operation is an operation in which the clothes processing drum of the clothes processing equipment is driven to rotate at high speed and the free water in the load is thrown out by the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation.

[0082] The drying operation involves drying clothes with hot air. Specifically, this operation involves using hot air generated by a motor or heat pump to blow hot air onto the clothes, heating them and evaporating moisture. To improve drying efficiency and thereby increase the evaporation area of ​​the load, the laundry treatment device can also perform a tumbling drive operation on the load during the drying operation.

[0083] The cooling process is to cool down the clothes after drying or after the drying process is completed. The purpose of the cooling process is to reduce the temperature of the clothes to avoid burns caused by hot clothes or high temperatures inside the clothes treatment equipment.

[0084] The countdown display is a countdown display of the drying time required after the drying process is started. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the countdown display is simply a numerical decrement from a specific duration value (that is, the first estimated duration mentioned later), and the duration of the countdown display is not necessarily related to the actual duration of the countdown.

[0085] It should be noted that the drying program mentioned above is only an example. In addition to the drying operation, the operation steps of some other drying programs may also include only at least one of the aforementioned drying time estimation operation, pre-drying operation, dehydration operation and cooling operation, or may not include other operations except the drying operation.

[0086] It should also be noted that in some embodiments, the countdown may instantly jump from a larger value to a smaller value during the countdown display. For example, if the countdown displayed at the beginning of the drying operation is 50 minutes, but the drying operation is actually completed after only 10 minutes, and the predetermined drying operation duration is 30 minutes, with the remaining 20 minutes for the cooling operation, if the laundry treatment device determines that the load is dried at the countdown of 40 minutes, the countdown may jump directly from 40 minutes to 20 minutes.

[0087] The control method for a laundry processing device provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is executed by a control device. Specifically, the control device may be installed within the laundry processing device, communicate with a status sensor and corresponding actuator within the laundry processing device, determine the drying status of the laundry based on signals detected by the status sensor, and adaptively control the operation of the corresponding actuator.

[0088] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the control method of the clothes processing device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the clothing processing device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes S110-S120.

[0089] S110: Controlling the laundry treatment device to perform a first operation in a drying program, and determining a first jump rate based on a state characteristic parameter detected during the first operation.

[0090] After controlling the laundry processing device to initiate a drying cycle, the laundry processing device performs an operation on the load according to the operating steps set in the drying cycle. After the laundry processing device performs the first operation of the drying cycle, the control device receives state characteristic parameters detected by sensors within the laundry processing device and determines a first jump rate based on the state characteristic parameters.

[0091] In a specific implementation, the aforementioned first operation can be various possible operations in the drying program, for example, it can be a drying operation in the drying program. This is only a single simple example, and the details can be referred to the specific examples below.

[0092] The state characteristic parameter is a parameter used to characterize the state characteristics of the load during the first operation. For example, the state characteristic parameter may be a parameter characterizing the weight characteristics of the load, or a parameter characterizing the humidity characteristics of the load. In specific implementations, the type of state characteristic parameter to be detected depends on the type of first operation performed by the clothing treatment device. This is merely an example, and the specific types of state characteristic parameters detected during various first operations will be analyzed later.

[0093] The first jump rate is the jump rate used when displaying the countdown during the second operation. The first jump rate is determined based on the state characteristic parameters detected during the first operation. In specific implementations, the first jump rate may be greater than, less than, or equal to the second jump rate used during the countdown during the previous execution phase. This determination is based on the state characteristic parameters detected during the first operation, as further explained below.

[0094] S120: During the process of controlling the clothes treating apparatus to perform the second operation in the drying program, the countdown display continues at the first jump rate.

[0095] The second operation is an operation determined in the drying program to be executed after the first operation is completed. The second operation can be executed immediately after the first operation is completed, or it can be executed after the first operation is completed and another operation is executed. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the specific type of the second operation is not limited; it can be determined based on the type of the first operation. Possible types are further described in the examples below.

[0096] As the drying program proceeds, after the control device controls the clothes treating device to execute the second operation of the drying program, the control device controls the clothes treating device to continue the countdown display at the first jump rate.

[0097] By adopting the solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first jump rate is determined according to the state characteristic parameters detected during the first operation of the drying program, and the countdown jump display is continued according to the first jump rate during the second operation. This can avoid the problem of needing to jump back the value or pause the timing when continuing to display the countdown jump according to the previous jump rate during the second operation, and avoid the user intuitively feeling that there is a logical error in the countdown change, thereby improving the user experience.

[0098] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a control method for a clothes processing device provided by some other embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the control method of the clothing processing device includes S210-S240.

[0099] S210: Controlling the clothes processing device to start a drying program, and determining a first estimated time and a second jump rate required to execute the drying load in the drying program.

[0100] When determining that the laundry processing device needs to start a drying program, the control device will determine a first estimated time required to dry the load. As the name suggests, the first estimated time is only an estimate and not the actual time required to dry the load.

[0101] The control device can use various methods to determine the first estimated duration. For example, in some embodiments, the control device can use a preset default duration as the first estimated duration. This preset default duration is determined based on long-term experience to achieve the required duration for drying loads in most situations. Determining the first estimated duration using another method will be discussed later.

[0102] S220: Control the clothes processing device to start from the first estimated duration and perform a countdown display at the second jump rate.

[0103] After determining the first estimated duration and controlling the clothes treatment device to start the drying process, a countdown display can be performed starting from the first estimated duration at the second jump rate. It should be noted that, at this time, the first estimated duration should be understood to have two meanings: (1) the first estimated duration is a time period that represents the estimated duration of the drying load of the clothes treatment device; (2) the first estimated duration is also a time numerical point, which is the time numerical point at which the countdown display starts.

[0104] The control device controls the countdown display starting from the first estimated duration at the second jump rate, using the first estimated duration as the starting value of the countdown and displaying the countdown of the drying process in a decreasing manner. For example, if the first estimated duration is determined to be 120 minutes, the countdown display can start from 120 and display 120, 119, ..., 2, 1, 0 in sequence.

[0105] In the disclosed embodiment, the control device controls the countdown display starting from the first estimated duration, and displays the countdown at a second jump rate. In most cases, the second jump rate is the jump speed of normal timing. For example, if the first estimated duration is determined to be 120 minutes and the countdown is displayed in minutes, each time the countdown decrements by 1, the corresponding elapsed time is 1 minute.

[0106] It should be noted that the countdown display may be performed by controlling the display device of the clothing processing device to display the countdown, or the countdown may be sent to a mobile terminal that is communicatively connected to the control device and the mobile terminal performs the countdown display.

[0107] S230: Controlling the laundry treatment device to execute a first operation in a drying program, and determining a first jump rate based on a state characteristic parameter detected during the execution of the first operation.

[0108] S240: Determine that the clothes processing device performs the second operation in the drying program, and perform a countdown display according to the first jump rate.

[0109] The execution process of S230-S240 is the same as the implementation process of S110-S220 in the previous embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0110] The effect of continuing the countdown display at the first jump rate during the second operation is analyzed below.

[0111] As previously analyzed, the first estimated duration is determined when the drying process is started, and it may not reflect the actual drying time. If the countdown display starts at the second jump rate from the first estimated duration, there is a high possibility that the first estimated duration will be longer or shorter than the actual drying time.

[0112] If the first estimated drying time is longer than the actual drying time, the countdown may jump to multiple values ​​during certain operations, as explained above. If the first estimated drying time is shorter than the actual drying time, the drying process may not end after the countdown ends, or the countdown may need to be paused at certain countdown values.

[0113] Because the first operation is the operation performed on the load after the drying program is started, the state parameters detected during the first operation are parameters that characterize the real-time characteristics of the load, which can to a certain extent characterize the duration required for the second operation process during the load drying process. That is, based on the state characteristic parameters, an estimated duration can be re-determined, and this estimated duration may be more accurate than the duration corresponding to the second operation process in the first estimated duration.

[0114] In the countdown display process, the countdown display starts with the first estimated duration and the numerical value decreases. It is not easy to switch the countdown display duration to a remaining timing duration determined based on the re-determined estimated duration and then perform the countdown display.

[0115] For example, if the first estimated duration is 120 minutes, the estimated duration from the start of the second operation to the end of the second operation is 80 minutes based on the first estimated duration, the re-determined estimated duration is 180 minutes, and the estimated duration from the start of the second operation to the end of the second operation is 160 minutes, and the aforementioned 160-minute estimate is relatively accurate. If the countdown is still performed at the second jump rate during the second operation, the countdown needs to jump back 80 minutes after the second operation is completed, or continue to display a certain value of 81 minutes, making the user realize that the countdown display method conflicts with the user's intuitive understanding of the countdown, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0116] In order to avoid the aforementioned problems, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not perform countdown jumps according to the aforementioned rebound method, but instead determines a first jump rate based on state characteristic parameters, and uses the first jump rate to perform countdown display in the subsequent second operation process, so that the actual remaining time consumed when the countdown display is performed according to the first jump rate matches the actual time required to determine the time based on the re-estimation as much as possible.

[0117] For another example, assuming that the first estimated duration is 120 minutes, the estimated duration from the start of the second operation to the end of the second operation according to the first estimated duration is 80 minutes, the re-determined estimated duration is 80 minutes and the estimated duration from the start of the second operation to the end of the second operation is 40 minutes, and the aforementioned 40-minute estimate is relatively accurate. If the countdown is still performed according to the second jump rate during the second operation, the second operation should end after 40 minutes of execution, and the countdown value needs to suddenly decrease by 40. However, based on the state characteristic parameters, it is determined that the first jump rate is set to 2 times the second jump rate. From the start of the second operation to the end of the second operation, although 40 minutes have passed, the countdown value has decreased by 80, and the countdown value will not change suddenly.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the aforementioned first operation is a pre-drying operation, and the corresponding aforementioned S230 controls the clothing processing device to perform the first operation in the drying program, and determines the first jump rate based on the state characteristic parameters detected during the first operation, which may include S231.

[0119] S231: Controlling the clothes treating apparatus to perform a pre-drying operation in a drying program, and determining a first jump rate based on state characteristic parameters detected during the pre-drying operation.

[0120] As analyzed above, the pre-drying operation is an operation to heat the load so that the load can heat up quickly, thereby increasing the kinetic energy of evaporation of water in the clothes.

[0121] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the state characteristic parameter detected during the pre-drying operation may include a first motion characteristic parameter. Accordingly, controlling the laundry processing device to perform the pre-drying operation in the drying program in S231 includes: controlling the laundry processing tub in the laundry processing device to perform a rotation operation, and detecting the first motion characteristic parameter during the rotation of the laundry processing tub.

[0122] A kinematic characteristic parameter is a parameter used to characterize the kinematic characteristics of a specific object. A kinematic characteristic parameter may include motion velocity, angular velocity, acceleration, or angular acceleration. In the disclosed embodiment, the kinematic characteristic parameter is preferably the angular velocity or angular acceleration of the laundry tub. Correspondingly, the first kinematic characteristic parameter is a parameter that characterizes the kinematic characteristics of the laundry tub during the pre-drying operation.

[0123] In the case where the state characteristic parameter is determined to be the first motion characteristic parameter, the determining of the first jump rate based on the state characteristic parameter detected during the pre-drying operation in S231 is specifically: determining the first jump rate based on the first motion characteristic parameter.

[0124] In some embodiments, determining the first jump rate based on the first motion feature parameter may include S2311 - S2312 .

[0125] S2311: Determine a first estimated drying time for the clothes processing device to perform a drying operation based on the first motion characteristic parameter.

[0126] According to kinematic principles, under a specific input power, different weights of clothing can achieve different kinematic characteristic parameters. Accordingly, the corresponding load weight can be determined based on the kinematic characteristic parameters detected during the rotation of the clothing handling device. Since the load weight is positively correlated with the load moisture content, and the load moisture content is positively correlated with the first estimated drying time required to dry the load, the first estimated drying time required for the clothing handling device to perform the drying operation can be determined based on the first kinematic characteristic parameters.

[0127] In some embodiments, the control device stores a mapping table of the relationship between kinematic characteristic parameters of various sizes and the first estimated drying time. After determining the first kinematic characteristic parameter, the first estimated drying time can be determined by searching the mapping table.

[0128] In some other embodiments, the control device stores a first mapping table representing the relationship between kinematic characteristic parameters of various sizes and load weights, and a second mapping table representing the relationship between load weights and a first estimated drying time. After obtaining the first kinematic characteristic parameters, the first kinematic characteristic parameters are used to search the first mapping table to obtain the load weight, and the load weight is then used to search the second mapping table to obtain the first estimated drying time.

[0129] In other embodiments, the control device stores a mathematical model of the relationship between input power and kinematic characteristic parameters, wherein the mathematical model includes the load weight of the drive motor. After obtaining the first kinematic characteristic parameter, the first kinematic characteristic parameter and the input power are input into the mathematical model to obtain the load weight of the drive motor. After obtaining the load weight, the control device can determine the first estimated drying time according to a pre-set weight-time conversion model.

[0130] It should be noted that because the load itself is not a rigid body and is not rigidly connected to the clothing processing tub, the load will slide relative to the clothing processing tub during the rotation of the clothing processing device, and relative sliding will also occur inside the load. The load weight determined based on the aforementioned first kinematic characteristic parameter is only an initial estimated weight and is not an accurate weight.

[0131] S2312: Determine a first jump rate based on the first estimated drying time.

[0132] After obtaining the first estimated drying time, a first jump rate may be determined based on the first estimated drying time. Specific details on how to determine the first jump rate based on the first estimated drying time will be analyzed later.

[0133] In some embodiments, the state parameter that most significantly characterizes changes in load state characteristics during the pre-drying operation is the real-time temperature. Accordingly, the first jump rate can be determined based on the real-time temperature detected during the pre-drying operation, or based on other state characteristic parameters determined based on the real-time temperature.

[0134] In some embodiments, other state characteristic parameters determined based on real-time temperature may include a heating rate. When the state characteristic parameter is the heating rate, in the aforementioned process of controlling the laundry processing device to perform a pre-drying operation of a drying program, the control device may further control the laundry processing device to detect the heating rate of the load during the pre-drying operation. The heating rate can be calculated using v = (x2 - x1) / (t2 - t1), where x2 is the real-time temperature at time t2 and x1 is the real-time temperature at time t1.

[0135] In a case where the state characteristic parameter is a temperature rise rate, the determining of the first jump rate based on the state characteristic parameter detected during the pre-drying operation may include: determining the first jump rate based on the temperature rise rate.

[0136] Figure 3 1 is a flow chart of a method for determining a first jump rate based on a heating rate in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, S310 - S320 may be used to determine the first jump rate.

[0137] S310: Determine a first estimated drying time required to dry the load during the drying operation based on the temperature increase rate.

[0138] If the heating power during the pre-drying operation is determined, the temperature rise rate of the load during the pre-drying operation is inversely proportional to the weight of the load (assuming the specific heat capacity of the clothes is constant). The weight of the load is inversely proportional to the time required to dry the load. Therefore, the first estimated drying time required to dry the load can be determined based on the aforementioned direct and inverse proportional relationships.

[0139] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the control device stores a table correlating heating rates and estimated drying times. The correspondence between heating rates and estimated drying times in the table is determined experimentally. After determining the heating rate, the control device searches the table based on the heating rate to determine the corresponding estimated drying time, and uses the aforementioned estimated drying time as the first estimated drying time.

[0140] In some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the control device may use the following S311-S312 to determine the second estimated duration.

[0141] S311: Determine a real-time estimated weight of the load based on the heating rate.

[0142] In the disclosed embodiment, the control device stores a table correlating heating rates with load weights. The correspondence between heating rates and load weights in the table is determined experimentally. After determining the heating rate, the control device searches the table based on the heating rate to determine the corresponding estimated weight, which is then used as the real-time estimated weight.

[0143] S312: Determine a first estimated drying time based on the real-time estimated weight.

[0144] In the disclosed embodiment, the control device stores a table correlating estimated weights and estimated drying times. The correspondence between estimated weights and estimated drying times in the table is determined experimentally. After determining the real-time estimated weight, the control device determines the corresponding estimated drying time based on the table and uses the estimated drying time as the first estimated drying time.

[0145] In the aforementioned embodiment, determining the real-time estimated weight based on the heating rate, and determining the first estimated drying time based on the heating rate or the real-time estimated weight, are achieved by searching a corresponding association table. In other embodiments, the control device may also determine the real-time estimated weight based on the heating rate by using a model processing method, and determine the first estimated drying time based on the heating rate or the real-time estimated weight by using a model processing method. In other words, after obtaining the heating rate or the real-time estimated weight, the heating rate or the real-time estimated weight may be input into a corresponding mathematical model to obtain the real-time estimated weight or the first estimated drying time.

[0146] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the control device controls the clothes processing device to perform a pre-drying operation and is able to obtain a real-time estimated weight, the control device may further perform the following S410-S420.

[0147] S410: Determine whether the real-time estimated weight is greater than a weight threshold; if so, execute S420.

[0148] S420: Controlling the clothes treating apparatus to perform a dehydration operation on the load during the pre-drying operation.

[0149] Generally, the weight of dry clothes placed in a laundry treatment device according to the device's instructions will be within a specific weight range. Furthermore, the specific heat capacity of clothing is generally lower than that of water. If the real-time estimated weight, determined based on the heating rate, exceeds the weight threshold, the load is likely too wet. The purpose of the drying process is to remove moisture from the load. Excessive moisture content significantly increases drying time and energy consumption.

[0150] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is determined that the real-time estimated weight is greater than the weight threshold, the control device can control the clothing processing device to perform a dehydration operation on the load during the pre-drying process, so as to use the dehydration operation to remove free water in the load as much as possible, thereby reducing the drying time and drying energy consumption.

[0151] When executing the aforementioned S410-S420, S312-S314 may be further executed after executing the aforementioned S312.

[0152] S313: Determine that the dehydration operation is completed, and re-determine the real-time estimated weight of the load.

[0153] S314: Determine a first estimated drying time based on the re-determined real-time estimated weight.

[0154] The method for determining the real-time estimated weight of the load in S313 can be the method in S2311 or the method in S311, which is not limited in the present embodiment. The execution process of S314 is the same as that of S312, and will not be repeated here. For details, please refer to the above description.

[0155] In the disclosed embodiment, a dehydration operation is performed on the load during the pre-drying operation. In other embodiments, if it is determined that the real-time estimated weight is greater than a weight threshold, the dehydration operation may be performed after the pre-drying operation. In this case, the aforementioned steps S410-S420 are not performed. In other embodiments, the control device may also perform a dehydration operation before controlling the laundry treatment device to perform the pre-drying operation, regardless of the specific weight of the load.

[0156] After completing S312 or S314 to determine the first estimated drying time, the control device may then execute the following S320.

[0157] S320: Determine a first jump rate based on the first estimated drying time.

[0158] After determining the first estimated drying time, the computing device may then determine a first jump efficiency based on the first estimated drying time.

[0159] The following analyzes how S2312 and S320 determine the first jump rate based on the first estimated drying time. As previously analyzed, the first jump rate is intended to change the problem of the estimated drying time being longer or shorter than the actual drying time caused by continuing the countdown display using the second jump rate. In order to make the setting of the first jump rate more targeted and adaptable, before determining the first jump rate based on the first estimated drying time, the computing device can also determine the second estimated drying time for the drying operation included in the first estimated drying time.

[0160] For example, when the drying program includes pre-drying operation, drying operation and cooling operation, the first estimated duration is T, the pre-drying operation duration is T1, the drying operation duration (that is, the second estimated drying duration) is T2, and the cooling operation duration is T3. T1 = K1 × T + C1, K1 is the fitting coefficient, C1 is the fitting constant, and T3 is a fixed constant. Then the second estimated drying duration T2 = (1-K1) × T-C1-T3 can be determined.

[0161] When the second estimated drying time is determined, the determining of the first jump rate based on the first estimated drying time may specifically be: determining the second jump rate according to the ratio of the second estimated drying time to the first estimated drying time.

[0162] For example, if the first estimated drying time is T2′, the second jump rate may be determined to be (T2 / T2′)×v1, where v1 is the first jump rate.

[0163] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the first estimated drying time determined by the control device is a fixed time, and the corresponding second estimated drying time for the pre-drying operation is also a fixed time. In this case, the control device may pre-store a table associating various first estimated drying times with second jump rates. After determining the second estimated drying time, the control device can retrieve the corresponding first jump rate by searching the aforementioned table based on the second estimated drying time.

[0164] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first operation is a pre-drying operation, the corresponding second operation may be a drying operation obtained by a drying procedure. Accordingly, the aforementioned S230 may include S232.

[0165] S232: Controlling the laundry processing device to execute a first drying operation in a drying program, and determining a first jump rate based on a first dryness determination feature parameter detected at the end of the first drying operation.

[0166] In some embodiments, a drying program includes a drying operation, which includes a first drying operation and may also include a second drying operation. The first drying operation and the second drying operation both dry the load. The second drying operation is performed if the first drying operation is performed and the laundry is determined not to be dried after the first drying operation. If the laundry is at least partially dried during the first drying operation, the first drying operation may be terminated and the second drying operation may not be performed.

[0167] In some other embodiments, the drying operation includes not only the first drying operation but also the second drying operation. Even if the clothes are determined to be dried after the first drying operation, the control device may still perform the second drying operation for some reasons.

[0168] In some embodiments, the first drying operation and the second drying operation may be operations using the same drying control parameters, and the drying operation is artificially divided into the first drying operation and the second drying operation. In other embodiments, the first drying operation and the second drying operation may be operations using different drying parameters. For example, the first drying operation may use a higher drying hot air temperature than the second drying operation.

[0169] As previously analyzed, the drying operation involves drying clothes with hot air. The state parameter that most significantly characterizes changes in load state characteristics during the drying operation is the dryness determination parameter. The dryness determination parameter can be the humidity of the hot air used for drying.

[0170] Accordingly, when controlling the laundry processing device to perform the first drying operation, the control device may determine the first jump rate based on the first dryness determination characteristic parameter during the first drying operation. Specifically, since the first dryness determination characteristic parameter during the first drying operation may change in real time, in order to more reasonably set the first jump rate, the first jump rate may be determined based on the first dryness determination characteristic parameter detected at the end of the first drying operation.

[0171] In some embodiments, determining the first jump rate based on the first dryness judging characteristic parameter detected when the first drying operation is finished in the aforementioned S232 may include S2321.

[0172] S2321: When the first dryness determination characteristic parameter determines that the load has not been dried, determine a first jump rate, where the first jump rate is slower than the second jump rate.

[0173] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is determined that the load has not been dried based on the first drying characteristic parameter, if the countdown for the second drying operation is still performed according to the second jump rate, there is a probability that the clothes will still not be dried after the second drying operation is completed.

[0174] To minimize the aforementioned issues, if the load is still not dried based on the first dryness determination characteristic parameter, the control device controls the laundry processing device to execute the second drying operation at a first jump rate, which is slower than the second jump rate. Because the first jump rate is slower than the second jump rate, after the same countdown time, the drying time executed at the first jump rate is longer than the drying time executed at the second jump rate. This ensures that the clothes are dried as much as possible by increasing the duration of the second drying operation.

[0175] In some embodiments, the control device may use a preset jump rate as the first jump rate. The preset jump rate is a pre-set rate that is slower than the second jump rate, for example, the preset jump rate may be 1 / 3 of the second jump rate.

[0176] In some other embodiments, the control device may determine the first jump rate based on the first dryness determination characteristic parameter. For example, the control device may store empirical jump rates corresponding to various dryness determination characteristic parameters that indicate that the laundry is not dry. After determining the first dryness determination condition, a data search based on the first dryness determination condition may be performed to find the corresponding empirical jump rate, which may be used as the first jump rate.

[0177] In the aforementioned embodiment, when it is determined that the load has not yet been dried, the first jump rate is set to be slower than the second jump rate. In other embodiments, even if it is determined that the load has not yet been dried, but the first dryness determination characteristic parameter determines that the load is already highly dry, requiring only a shorter time in the second drying operation to dry the load, the first jump rate may be set to be faster than the second jump rate.

[0178] In the case of executing the aforementioned S232, the aforementioned S240 may include S241.

[0179] S241: During the process of controlling the clothes treating apparatus to perform the second drying operation in the drying program, the countdown display continues at the first jump rate.

[0180] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, during the execution of the second drying operation in S241 , the control device may further execute the following S510 - S520 .

[0181] S510: Detect a second dryness determination characteristic parameter, and determine whether the clothes are dried based on the second dryness determination characteristic parameter; if so, execute S520.

[0182] S520: Execute a cooling operation and continue the countdown display at the second jump rate.

[0183] The second dryness judgment characteristic parameter is a dryness judgment characteristic parameter detected during the second drying operation. If it is determined that the clothes have been dried according to the second dryness judgment characteristic parameter, the second drying operation can be terminated. The drying program in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cooling operation, and the clothes can be cooled after the second drying operation is completed. Since the cooling operation can basically ensure that the clothes are cooled to a safe temperature, the control device controls the countdown to continue to be displayed at the second jump rate instead of continuing to display the countdown at the aforementioned first jump rate. If the temperature of the clothes has cooled to a safe temperature during the cooling operation but the cooling operation has not yet ended, the clothes processing device can be controlled to exit the cooling operation and end the drying program.

[0184] In order to more intuitively illustrate the present embodiment, a simple analysis of the execution process of a drying program is given below. The operation steps included in a drying program include a pre-drying operation, a first drying operation, a second drying operation, and a cooling operation.

[0185] When the clothes processing device starts the drying program, the first estimated duration is determined to be 150 minutes, including 30 minutes for the pre-drying operation, 80 minutes for the first drying operation, 20 minutes for the second drying operation, and 20 minutes for the cooling operation.

[0186] When the laundry treatment device begins a pre-drying operation, it begins a countdown at 150 minutes using the second jump rate. During the pre-drying operation, the estimated load weight, as determined by the heating rate, exceeds the weight threshold. Therefore, a spin operation is performed. After the spin operation, the second estimated duration is re-determined based on the heating rate to 160 minutes, consisting of 30 minutes for the pre-drying operation, 90 minutes for the first drying operation, 20 minutes for the second drying operation, and 20 minutes for the cooling operation. Accordingly, the second jump rate used during the first drying operation is determined to be 0.889 times the first jump rate (80 / 90 = 0.889).

[0187] After 30 minutes of operation at the second jump rate, the pre-drying operation ends and the first drying operation begins. The control device then controls the laundry processing device to count down from 120 seconds at the first jump rate. During the first drying operation, the load remains undried, so the countdown decreases from 120 to 40 seconds. The first jump rate, at this point, is 0.5 times the second jump rate. This means that the second drying operation actually takes 40 minutes to complete.

[0188] During the second drying operation, when the countdown jumps to 30 according to the first jump rate, the clothes are determined to be dry according to the second drying characteristic parameter. At this time, the second drying operation is ended, the cooling operation is entered, and the countdown jumps from 30 to 20.

[0189] During the cooling operation, the countdown is still performed at the second jump rate. After the cooling operation is performed and the countdown decreases from 20 to 10, it is determined that the clothes have cooled to a safe temperature, the cooling operation is controlled to end, and the countdown jumps from 10 to 0, completing the drying process.

[0190] As previously analyzed, in some embodiments, the computing device uses a preset default duration as the first estimated duration. For another example, in other embodiments, the control device may control the laundry processing device to perform a drying time estimation operation, i.e., determine the first estimated duration using the following steps S610-S630.

[0191] S610: The controlled laundry processing tub performs a rotation operation, and detects a second motion characteristic parameter during the rotation of the laundry processing tub.

[0192] S620: Determine an initial estimated weight of the load based on the kinematic characteristic parameters.

[0193] S630: Determine a first estimated duration according to the initial estimated weight.

[0194] How to determine the second motion characteristic parameter, how to use the second motion characteristic parameter to determine the initial estimated weight, and how to determine the first estimated duration can be found in the method for determining the first drying estimated duration based on the first motion characteristic parameter in the previous article, which will not be repeated here.

[0195] In addition to providing the aforementioned control method for a clothes processing apparatus, the disclosed embodiment of the present invention also provides a control device for a clothes processing apparatus. Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the structure of the control device of the clothes processing equipment provided by the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, the control device 400 of the laundry processing equipment provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a control module 401 and a jump rate setting module 402.

[0196] The control module 401 is used to control the clothes processing device to perform the first operation in the drying program, and determine a first jump rate based on the state characteristic parameters detected when performing the first operation.

[0197] The jump rate setting module 402 is used to determine that when the clothes processing device performs the second operation in the drying program, a countdown display is performed according to the first jump rate.

[0198] In some embodiments, the control module 401 is also used to control the clothing processing equipment to start the drying program, determine the first estimated time and second jump rate required to execute the drying load in the drying program; when the control module 401 controls the clothing processing equipment to start from the first estimated time, the jump rate setting module 402 performs a countdown display according to the second jump rate.

[0199] In some embodiments, the control module 401 controls the laundry processing device to perform a pre-drying operation within a drying program and determines a first jump rate based on state characteristic parameters detected during the pre-drying operation, where the pre-drying operation is an operation that heats the load. Subsequently, when determining that the laundry processing device is to perform the drying operation within the drying program, the jump rate setting module 402 displays a countdown according to the first jump rate.

[0200] In some embodiments, the state characteristic parameters include a first motion characteristic parameter; the control module 401 controls the clothing processing device to perform a pre-drying operation in a drying program, including: controlling the clothing processing barrel in the clothing processing device to perform a rotation operation, and detecting the first motion characteristic parameter during the rotation of the clothing processing barrel, and determining the first jump rate based on the first motion characteristic parameter.

[0201] In some embodiments, the control module 401 determines a first estimated drying time for the clothes processing device to perform a drying operation based on the first motion characteristic parameter, and determines a first jump rate based on the first estimated drying time.

[0202] In some embodiments, the state characteristic parameter includes a heating rate. When the control module 401 controls the laundry processing device to perform a pre-drying operation of a drying process, the temperature rising rate of the load during the pre-drying operation is detected. Subsequently, the control module 401 determines a first jump rate based on the temperature rising rate.

[0203] In some embodiments, the control module 401 determines a first estimated drying time required to dry the load during the drying operation based on the heating rate; then, determines a first jump rate based on the first estimated drying time.

[0204] In some embodiments, the control module 401 determines a real-time estimated weight of the load based on the heating rate; and determines a first estimated drying time based on the real-time estimated weight.

[0205] In some embodiments, the control module 401 is also used to determine whether the real-time estimated weight is greater than a weight threshold; when the real-time estimated weight is greater than the weight threshold, the clothing processing device is controlled to perform a dehydration operation on the load during the pre-drying operation; and the dehydration operation is determined to be completed, and the real-time estimated weight of the load is re-determined; in addition, the control module 401 determines the first estimated drying time based on the re-determined real-time estimated weight.

[0206] In some embodiments, the control module 401 is further configured to determine that the first estimated drying time includes a second estimated drying time for the drying operation. Accordingly, the control module 401 determines a first jump rate based on the first estimated drying time and the second estimated drying time. Specifically, the control module 401 determines the first jump rate based on the ratio of the second estimated drying time to the first estimated drying time.

[0207] In some embodiments, the state characteristic parameter includes a first dryness judging characteristic parameter. Accordingly, the control module 401 controls the laundry processing device to perform the first drying operation in the drying program, and determines the first jump rate based on the first dryness judging characteristic parameter detected at the end of the first drying operation.

[0208] In some embodiments, if the first dryness determination characteristic parameter determines that the load has not been dried, the control module 401 determines a first jump rate, where the first jump rate is slower than the second jump rate. In a specific embodiment, the control module 401 uses a preset jump rate as the first jump rate; or determines the first jump rate based on the first dryness determination characteristic parameter.

[0209] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the clothes treating apparatus performs the second drying operation in the drying program, the jump rate setting module 402 continues to display the countdown according to the first jump rate.

[0210] In some embodiments, the control module 401 detects a second dryness judgment characteristic parameter while controlling the clothing processing equipment to perform a second drying operation; when the second dryness judgment characteristic parameter indicates that the load has been dried or the second drying operation is completed, the control module 401 controls the execution of a cooling operation, and the jump rate setting module 402 continues the countdown display according to the second jump rate.

[0211] In some embodiments, the control module 401 determines a first estimated duration required to execute a drying program to dry the load, including: using a preset default duration as the first estimated duration; or, controlling the clothing processing barrel of the clothing processing device to perform a rotation operation, and detecting a second motion characteristic parameter during the rotation of the clothing processing barrel, determining an initial estimated weight of the load based on the second motion characteristic parameter, and determining the first estimated duration based on the initial estimated weight.
