DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following is a description of the implementation of the present invention by specific embodiments. People familiar with the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] The terms used in the embodiments of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings, and "multiple" generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.

[0021] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0022] It should also be noted that the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a product or system including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such a product or system. In the absence of more restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the product or system including the elements.

[0023] 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.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling fabric storage, which can be applied to a fabric processing device, wherein the fabric processing device includes a fabric processing drum.

[0025] The fabric processing equipment may include but is not limited to washing machines, which may include but are not limited to all-in-one washing and care machines, all-in-one washing and drying machines, etc. For example, the washing machine may be a drum washing machine or a pulsator washing machine with drying or washing and care functions, and of course, the washing machine may also be other types of fully automatic washing machines.

[0026] The fabric treatment drum may have a drying function and a washing function, so that the fabric treatment drum can wash or dry the fabric to be treated. The fabric treatment drum may contain a washing medium, which may include but is not limited to a washing medium and the like.

[0027] The fabric treatment drum can also be used to temporarily store fabrics to be treated. The fabrics to be treated may be fabrics with dirt or stains, or unwashed fabrics.

[0028] The fabric processing device may also be provided with a compressor, which can be used in the cooling or heating process of fabric washing, and can compress low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and then cool the high-temperature and high-pressure gas into liquid through a heat exchanger and other structures in the fabric processing device, thus completing the refrigeration cycle.

[0029] Alternatively, during the heating process, the compressor dissipates the heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas through a heat exchanger, thereby lowering the temperature of the gas, and then expands the gas into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas through an expansion valve, etc., to achieve the heating process.

[0030] For example, in the prior art, a washing machine with a drying function can use a compressor to lower or raise the temperature inside the washing machine, thereby achieving a better washing effect. The compressor can heat the air in the heating duct, and discharge the heated air into the fabric treatment cylinder through a fan, etc. After the hot air takes away the moisture in the fabric, it condenses on the surface of the high-pressure air chamber, and then is sucked into the heating duct through the fan, and secondary condensation is performed on the condenser, etc., effectively ensuring and improving the drying efficiency of the fabric.

[0031] On the other hand, the compressor can also keep the temperature inside the fabric processing device stable, thereby effectively ensuring the normal operation of the fabric processing device and, at the same time, ensuring the washing effect on the fabric.

[0032] The compressor may be a reciprocating compressor or a rotary compressor, etc.

[0033] A temperature detection unit and a humidity detection unit are also provided in the fabric treatment drum. The temperature detection unit may include but is not limited to a temperature sensor or a temperature and humidity sensor, and the humidity sensor may include but is not limited to a humidity sensor or a temperature and humidity sensor, etc. The temperature detection unit and the humidity detection unit are respectively provided on different side walls of the fabric treatment drum, for example, on two opposite side walls of the fabric treatment drum, the temperature detection unit is used to detect parameters related to temperature in the fabric treatment drum, and the humidity detection unit is used to detect parameters related to humidity in the fabric treatment drum.

[0034] It should be noted that there can be multiple temperature detection units, and the multiple temperature detection units are arranged at different positions on the same side wall of the fabric processing cylinder to obtain the temperatures at different positions in the fabric processing cylinder, and the average value of the temperatures at multiple different positions is used as the final temperature detection value to improve the accuracy of temperature detection in the fabric processing cylinder.

[0035] In one example, a data fusion algorithm can also be used to integrate the temperature detection data of multiple temperature sensors to improve the accuracy of temperature detection. For example, a weighted average method is used to assign different weights according to the accuracy and reliability of each temperature sensor, and then a comprehensive temperature value is calculated and used as the temperature detection value in the fabric treatment drum.

[0036] Among them, the weight of the temperature detection unit located below the middle position of the fabric processing cylinder is relatively large, while the weight of the temperature detection unit located above the middle position is relatively small.

[0037] Furthermore, there may be multiple humidity detection units, which are arranged at different positions on the same side wall of the fabric processing cylinder to obtain the humidity at different positions in the fabric processing cylinder, and the average value of the humidity at multiple different positions is used as the final humidity detection value to improve the accuracy of humidity detection in the fabric processing cylinder.

[0038] In one example, a data fusion algorithm can also be used to integrate the humidity detection data of multiple humidity sensors to improve the accuracy of humidity detection. For example, a weighted average method can be used to assign different weights according to the accuracy and reliability of each humidity sensor, and then a comprehensive humidity value is calculated and used as the humidity detection value in the fabric processing drum.

[0039] Among them, the weight of the humidity detection unit located below the middle position of the fabric processing cylinder is relatively large, while the weight of the humidity detection unit located above the middle position is relatively small.

[0040] The fabric processing drum may also be provided with an odor detector to detect the odor of the fabric temporarily stored in the fabric processing drum, and the level of the odor may also be judged based on the detection result.

[0041] On the other hand, an oxygen detection unit may be provided in the fabric treatment drum, and the oxygen content of the air in the fabric treatment drum may be detected in real time by the oxygen detection unit. The oxygen sensor may include but is not limited to an optical oxygen sensor, an ultrasonic oxygen sensor, and the like.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the control method for fabric storage includes the following steps: Step S100: When fabrics are temporarily stored in the fabric treatment drum, the air quality parameters and air state parameters in the fabric treatment drum are detected. The air quality parameters are used to reflect the odor level and oxygen content in the fabric treatment drum, and the air state parameters are used to reflect the temperature and / or humidity inside the fabric treatment drum.

[0043] Step S200: When any one of the air quality parameter and the air state parameter does not meet the set requirements, the parameter is adjusted so that the parameter meets the environmental requirements for inhibiting mold growth.

[0044] In step S100, when the user temporarily stores the worn clothes or the changed bed sheets in the fabric treatment drum but does not wash the fabric, in order to prevent the fabric from getting moldy or generating odor due to environmental factors, various detection units, such as an odor detector and an oxygen detection unit, can be used to obtain the air quality parameters in the fabric treatment drum, that is, the air quality parameters can include the odor concentration (or odor level) and oxygen content in the fabric treatment drum. The air quality parameters are used to reflect the odor level and oxygen content in the fabric treatment drum.

[0045] At the same time, the temperature detection unit and the humidity detection unit can also be used to obtain the air state parameters in the fabric treatment drum. The air state parameters are used to reflect the temperature and / or humidity inside the fabric treatment drum.

[0046] In step S200, in order to prevent the fabric temporarily stored in the fabric treatment drum from getting moldy or generating odor, the air state parameters in the fabric treatment drum, ie, the temperature and humidity, may be adjusted to inhibit the growth of mold in the fabric treatment drum.

[0047] In the case that any one of the detected air quality parameters and the internal air conditioning parameters does not meet the set requirements, the parameters are adjusted so that the parameters meet the environmental requirements for inhibiting mold growth.

[0048] That is, if any of the following exists in the detected data: the odor level is greater than or equal to the set odor level, the oxygen content is greater than or equal to the set oxygen content, the temperature is not within the preset range, and the humidity is not within the preset range, it indicates that there are parameters in the fabric treatment drum that do not meet the set requirements. In the above case, the parameters that do not meet the set requirements are adjusted so that the parameters meet the environmental requirements for inhibiting mold growth.

[0049] In some embodiments, when the detected odor level in the fabric treatment drum is greater than a set odor level, it indicates that the fabric may be moldy. At this time, an air purification operation or a ventilation operation may be performed in the fabric treatment drum.

[0050] Among them, the following operations can be used for air purification: through the process of active air intake, micro-positive pressure exhaust and 360° vortex airflow circulation, the air in the fabric treatment cylinder is replaced at predetermined intervals (such as 2 minutes or 3 minutes); or, the air in the fabric treatment cylinder is purified by using an air filtration system or fresh air; or, the air washing function of the fabric treatment equipment is used to remove odor and mildew from the fabric, thereby completing the air purification in the fabric treatment cylinder.

[0051] In addition, ventilation operation can be performed in the fabric processing drum by means of a fan or the like provided in the fabric processing equipment.

[0052] During the process of performing the air purification operation or the ventilation operation on the fabric treatment drum, when the odor level detected in real time is less than the set odor level, it is determined that the odor level in the fabric treatment drum at this time meets the set requirement.

[0053] When the oxygen content of the air in the fabric treatment drum is greater than or equal to the set oxygen content, it indicates that the oxygen content in the fabric treatment drum is high and suitable for the growth of mold. Among them, the oxygen concentration suitable for the survival of most molds is above 4%. At this time, the air in the fabric treatment drum can be deoxygenated to inhibit the growth of mold by changing the oxygen content.

[0054] In some examples, the air in the fabric treatment drum can be deoxygenated by an ozone generator or a superoxide generator in the fabric treatment device, so that the oxygen content of the air in the fabric treatment drum is reduced to below a set oxygen content to inhibit the growth of mold. It should be noted that the set oxygen content value can also be flexibly adjusted according to the type of mold, and is not specifically limited here.

[0055] The temperature and humidity in the fabric processing drum can be detected in real time by the temperature detection unit and the humidity detection unit, and the humidity parameters and temperature parameters of the current state in the fabric processing drum can be obtained.

[0056] The suitable growth temperature for most molds is 20℃~35℃, and the optimal temperature is 25℃~28℃. Within the above temperature range, mold grows fastest and requires a humidity of more than 75% and sufficient nutritional conditions.

[0057] In order to further inhibit the growth of mold, the temperature and humidity of the air in the fabric treatment drum can be controlled individually or in a coordinated manner.

[0058] When the detected humidity parameter is not within the preset range, the preset range may be less than 55%. That is, when the humidity parameter is greater than or equal to 55%, it indicates that the humidity value of the air in the fabric treatment drum is high. At this time, the humidity of the air may be dehumidified to reduce the humidity value of the air in the fabric treatment drum so that the reduced humidity value is within the preset range (for example, less than or equal to 55%). It should be noted that when the humidity value of the air in the fabric treatment drum is less than 55%, the growth of mold may be limited.

[0059] In one example, the process of dehumidifying the air in the fabric treatment drum may be performed as follows: The compressor delivers low-temperature gas within a set range to the fabric treatment drum, and the set range may be 16°C to 27°C. The higher the humidity value in the fabric treatment drum, the lower the temperature value of the low-temperature gas input therein. The input amount of the low-temperature gas within the set range may be flexibly set according to the different capacities of the fabric treatment equipment.

[0060] When the humidity of the air in the fabric treatment drum is within the preset range, the growth of mold is partially inhibited. In order to further improve the inhibitory effect on the growth of mold, the temperature of the air in the fabric treatment drum can also be detected, and it is determined whether the detected temperature parameter is within the preset range. Among them, when the detected temperature parameter is not within the preset range, the temperature is adjusted accordingly so that the adjusted temperature is within the preset range. When the temperature value of the air in the fabric treatment drum is within the preset range, the growth of mold can be restricted.

[0061] In one example, the preset range of the temperature parameter includes an upper limit value and a lower limit value, wherein the upper limit value may be set to 19°C and the lower limit value may be set to 16°C.

[0062] Among them, the temperature range within the preset range combined with the humidity value set below 55% can effectively inhibit the growth of mold.

[0063] When the detected temperature parameter is less than the lower limit, in order to avoid damage to the fabric due to the low temperature or affecting the user's taking of clothes, at this time, hot air can be delivered to the fabric processing drum through a compressor to increase the temperature inside the fabric processing drum, or the air heating device (such as an electric heating rod, etc.) in the fabric processing equipment can be controlled to start, and hot air can be delivered to the fabric processing drum through a fan, etc. to increase the temperature inside the fabric processing drum, so that the adjusted temperature parameter is within the preset range.

[0064] When the detected temperature parameter is greater than the upper limit, in order to inhibit the growth of mold and avoid damage to the human body caused by excessively high temperature airflow when the user takes clothes, at this time, low-temperature gas can be delivered to the fabric treatment drum through a compressor to lower the temperature inside the fabric treatment drum so that the adjusted temperature parameter is within the preset range.

[0065] In this example, by detecting and adjusting the environmental parameters in the fabric treatment drum, antibacterial control can be performed on the fabrics stored in the fabric treatment drum for a long time to prevent the fabrics from getting moldy or producing odors, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the setting requirement includes a first setting requirement and a second setting requirement.

[0067] When it is determined that fabrics are stored in the fabric treatment drum, the air quality parameters in the fabric treatment drum are first obtained, and then, when the air quality parameters meet the first set requirements, the air state parameters in the fabric treatment drum are obtained.

[0068] When there is a first parameter in the air quality parameters that does not meet the first setting requirement, the first parameter is adjusted so that the first parameter meets the first setting requirement.

[0069] In one example, the first parameter includes the odor level of the fabrics in the fabric treatment drum and the oxygen content of the air.

[0070] The odor level of the fabric is obtained based on the odor detector, and the oxygen content of the air in the fabric treatment drum is obtained based on the oxygen detection unit when the odor level of the fabric is less than the set level.

[0071] When the first parameter is the odor level, and the first setting requirement is not met because the clothing level is greater than or equal to the set level, the process of adjusting the first parameter so that the first parameter meets the first setting requirement includes: When the odor level is greater than or equal to the set level, an air purification operation or a ventilation operation is performed in the fabric treatment drum to reduce the odor level of the fabric, so that the adjusted odor level is less than the set level.

[0072] It should be noted that the set level may be pre-stored in the control system of the fabric processing device, and the set level may be based on the odor level in the prior art, which is not specifically limited here.

[0073] In a specific example, when the odor level is greater than or equal to the set level, the following method may be used to perform an air purification operation or a ventilation operation in the fabric treatment drum: Through the process of active air intake, micro-positive pressure exhaust and 360° vortex airflow circulation, the air in the fabric treatment cylinder is replaced at predetermined intervals (such as 2 minutes or 3 minutes); or, the air in the fabric treatment cylinder is purified by using an air filtration system or fresh air; or, the air washing function of the fabric treatment equipment is used to remove odor and mildew from the fabric, thereby completing the air purification in the fabric treatment cylinder.

[0074] The fabric processing drum may also be ventilated by a fan or the like provided in the fabric processing equipment.

[0075] When the first parameter is oxygen content, and the first setting requirement is not met because the oxygen content is greater than or equal to the set content, the process of adjusting the first parameter so that the first parameter meets the first setting requirement includes: The preset oxygen content in the air in the fabric treatment drum may be 4% or less.

[0076] When the oxygen content of the air in the fabric treatment drum is greater than or equal to the preset content, the following method can be used to perform a deoxygenation operation on the air in the fabric treatment drum: The air in the fabric treatment drum is deoxygenated by an ozone generator or a superoxide generator in the fabric treatment equipment, thereby reducing the oxygen content of the air in the fabric treatment drum to below a preset content to inhibit the growth of mold.

[0077] If the air quality parameter before adjustment or the first parameter after adjustment meets the first setting requirement, the control system of the fabric processing device determines whether there is a second parameter in the detected air state parameter that does not meet the second setting requirement.

[0078] In one example, the second parameter includes a humidity parameter and a temperature parameter of the air in the fabric treatment drum.

[0079] The humidity parameter of the air in the fabric treatment drum can be obtained based on the humidity detection unit provided in the fabric treatment drum, and the temperature parameter of the air in the fabric treatment drum can be obtained based on the temperature detection unit when the humidity parameter is within a first preset range.

[0080] When the second parameter is a humidity parameter and the failure to meet the second setting requirement is that the humidity parameter is outside the first preset range, the second parameter is adjusted so that the second parameter meets the second setting requirement, including: When the detected humidity parameter is not within the first preset range, it indicates that the humidity value of the air in the fabric treatment drum is high. At this time, a dehumidification operation can be performed on the humidity of the air to reduce the humidity value of the air in the fabric treatment drum so that the reduced humidity value is within the first preset range. The first preset range may be less than or equal to 55%.

[0081] In one example, the process of dehumidifying the air in the fabric treatment drum may be performed as follows: The compressor delivers low-temperature gas within a set range to the fabric treatment drum, and the set range may be 16°C to 27°C. The higher the humidity value in the fabric treatment drum, the lower the temperature value of the low-temperature gas input therein. The input amount of the low-temperature gas within the set range may be flexibly set according to the different capacities of the fabric treatment equipment.

[0082] When the second parameter is a temperature parameter and the failure to meet the second setting requirement is that the temperature parameter is outside a second preset range, adjusting the second parameter so that the second parameter meets the second setting requirement includes: When the detected temperature parameter is not within the second preset range, the temperature in the fabric processing drum is adjusted accordingly so that the adjusted temperature is within the second preset range, wherein the second preset range is between 16°C and 19°C.

[0083] That is, the second preset range includes an upper limit value and a lower limit value, wherein the upper limit value is 19°C and the lower limit value is 16°C.

[0084] Among them, the temperature interval within the second preset range combined with the setting of a humidity value lower than 55% can effectively inhibit the growth of mold.

[0085] When the detected temperature parameter is less than the lower limit, in order to avoid damage to the fabric due to the low temperature or affecting the user when taking clothes, at this time, hot air can be delivered to the fabric processing drum through a compressor to increase the temperature inside the fabric processing drum, or the air heating device (such as an electric heating rod, etc.) in the fabric processing equipment is controlled to start, and hot air is delivered to the fabric processing drum through a fan, etc. to increase the temperature inside the fabric processing drum, so that the adjusted temperature parameter is within the second preset range.

[0086] When the detected temperature parameter is greater than the upper limit value, in order to inhibit the growth of mold and avoid damage to the human body caused by excessively high temperature airflow when the user takes clothes, at this time, low-temperature gas can be delivered to the fabric treatment drum through a compressor to lower the temperature inside the fabric treatment drum so that the adjusted temperature parameter is within the second preset range.

[0087] It should be noted that, in order to prevent the humidity parameter in the fabric treatment drum from affecting the detection of the temperature parameter, in this example, the humidity parameter in the fabric treatment drum is first detected, and the humidity value in the air is adjusted according to the detection result.

[0088] When the humidity value of the air after adjustment is within the first preset range, or when the humidity value of the air before adjustment is within the first preset range, the temperature parameter of the air in the fabric treatment drum is controlled or adjusted accordingly according to the detected temperature parameter.

[0089] like Figure 2 As shown, in some implementations, when the detected temperature parameter is between the lower limit value and the upper limit value, that is, within the first preset range, the air quality parameter in the fabric treatment drum is re-detected, and based on the judgment result of the re-acquired air quality parameter and the set requirements, the fabric treatment drum is controlled accordingly to detect whether the environment in the fabric treatment drum can inhibit the growth of mold, for example, a low oxygen and temperature and humidity environment that is not suitable for mold growth.

[0090] In this example, when the air quality parameters and air state parameters in the fabric treatment drum are detected for the first time, and the corresponding parameters are adjusted according to the corresponding detection results, it is determined that the internal environment of the fabric treatment drum can inhibit mold. Then, after the first entire detection process is completed, the air quality parameters and air state parameters in the fabric treatment drum are detected again according to the above steps, and the corresponding parameters are adjusted according to the detection results, so that the fabric can be temporarily stored in the fabric treatment drum for a longer period of time, preventing the fabric from getting moldy or producing odor, and effectively improving the user experience of the fabric treatment device.

[0091] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, before executing the step of detecting the air quality parameters and air state parameters in the fabric processing drum, the fabric storage control method further includes: determining that the fabric processing device is in a shutdown but not powered off state.

[0092] That is to say, the power supply circuit of the fabric processing device is in an unpowered state, but the fabric processing device is not turned on. The user temporarily stores the changed fabrics in the fabric processing drum. Then, the fabric processing device can implement the above-mentioned control method on the fabrics in the fabric processing drum according to the control system, thereby ensuring that the fabrics can be temporarily stored in the fabric processing drum for a long time, preventing the fabrics from getting moldy or producing odors, and effectively improving the user experience of the fabric processing device.

[0093] It should be noted that when the fabric treatment device is turned on, no matter which process the fabric treatment drum is in in the above detection process, the corresponding detection process is terminated. For example, when the fabric treatment drum is in the dehumidification operation, the user operates the fabric treatment device to turn it on, at this time, the dehumidification operation is immediately terminated, and then the fabric device can be controlled to operate according to the user's operation.

[0094] Wherein, no matter which process the fabric treatment drum is in during the above detection process, the door of the fabric treatment drum is always kept closed. Moreover, after the door is opened, no matter which process the fabric treatment drum is in during the above detection process, the corresponding detection process is terminated, and when the door is closed, the above detection process is restarted.

[0095] In some embodiments, in order to effectively improve the inhibition of mold growth in the fabric treatment drum, the following method can be used: When the fabric treatment device is turned off but not powered off, the odor level in the fabric treatment drum is first detected. When the detected odor level in the fabric treatment drum is greater than the set odor level, it indicates that the fabric may be moldy. At this time, air purification or ventilation operations can be performed in the fabric treatment drum to reduce the odor level in the fabric treatment drum.

[0096] After the odor of the fabric in the fabric treatment drum meets the corresponding set requirements, the oxygen content of the air in the fabric treatment drum is detected. When the oxygen content is greater than or equal to the set oxygen content, it indicates that the oxygen content in the fabric treatment drum is high and suitable for the growth of mold. At this time, the air in the fabric treatment drum can be deoxygenated to inhibit the growth of mold through the change of oxygen content.

[0097] The air in the fabric treatment drum can be deoxygenated by an ozone generator or a superoxide generator in the fabric treatment device, so that the oxygen content of the air in the fabric treatment drum is reduced to below a set oxygen content to inhibit the growth of mold. It should be noted that the set oxygen content value can also be flexibly adjusted according to the type of mold, and is not specifically limited here.

[0098] If the growth of most molds is suppressed only by adjusting the oxygen content, other types of molds may still grow. Therefore, it is also necessary to detect or adjust the air state parameters in the fabric treatment drum.

[0099] The temperature and humidity in the fabric processing drum can be detected in real time by the temperature detection unit and the humidity detection unit, and the humidity parameters and temperature parameters of the current state in the fabric processing drum can be obtained.

[0100] The suitable growth temperature for most molds is 20℃~35℃, and the optimal temperature is 25℃~28℃. Within the above temperature range, mold grows fastest and requires a humidity of more than 75% and sufficient nutritional conditions.

[0101] In order to further inhibit the growth of mold, the temperature and humidity of the air in the fabric treatment drum can be controlled individually or in a coordinated manner.

[0102] In one example, the humidity of the air in the fabric treatment drum may be detected first, and when the detected humidity parameter is not within a preset range, the preset range may be less than 55%. That is, when the humidity parameter is greater than or equal to 55%, it indicates that the humidity value of the air in the fabric treatment drum is high. At this time, a dehumidification operation may be performed on the humidity of the air to reduce the humidity value of the air in the fabric treatment drum so that the reduced humidity value is within the preset range (for example, less than or equal to 55%). The process of dehumidifying the air in the fabric treatment drum may be performed in the following manner: The compressor delivers low-temperature gas within a set range to the fabric treatment drum, and the set range may be 16°C to 27°C. The higher the humidity value in the fabric treatment drum, the lower the temperature value of the low-temperature gas input therein. The input amount of the low-temperature gas within the set range may be flexibly set according to the different capacities of the fabric treatment equipment.

[0103] When the humidity of the air in the fabric treatment drum is within the preset range, the growth of mold is partially inhibited. In order to further improve the inhibitory effect on the growth of mold, the temperature of the air in the fabric treatment drum can also be detected, and it is determined whether the detected temperature parameter is within the preset range. When the detected temperature parameter is not within the preset range, the temperature is adjusted accordingly so that the adjusted temperature is within the preset range.

[0104] In one example, the preset range of the temperature parameter includes an upper limit value and a lower limit value, wherein the upper limit value may be set to 19°C and the lower limit value may be set to 16°C.

[0105] Among them, the temperature range within the preset range combined with the humidity value set below 55% can effectively inhibit the growth of mold.

[0106] When the detected temperature parameter is less than the lower limit, in order to avoid damage to the fabric due to the low temperature or affecting the user's taking of clothes, at this time, hot air can be delivered to the fabric processing drum through a compressor to increase the temperature inside the fabric processing drum, or the air heating device (such as an electric heating rod, etc.) in the fabric processing equipment can be controlled to start, and hot air can be delivered to the fabric processing drum through a fan, etc. to increase the temperature inside the fabric processing drum, so that the adjusted temperature parameter is within the preset range.

[0107] When the detected temperature parameter is greater than the upper limit, in order to inhibit the growth of mold and avoid damage to the human body caused by excessively high temperature airflow when the user takes clothes, at this time, low-temperature gas can be delivered to the fabric treatment drum through a compressor to lower the temperature inside the fabric treatment drum so that the adjusted temperature parameter is within the preset range.

[0108] In this example, by successively detecting, judging and adjusting the odor level in the fabric treatment drum, the oxygen content in the air, the humidity parameters and the temperature parameters in the air, the mold growth in the fabric treatment drum can be effectively inhibited, which effectively solves the problem of fabric mold and dirty fabric contaminating the internal environment of the fabric treatment drum when the fabric is temporarily stored in the fabric treatment drum, extends the storage time of the fabric, reduces the risk of fabric mold and odor contaminating the internal environment of the fabric treatment drum, and effectively improves the user experience of the fabric treatment equipment.

[0109] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention further provides an electronic device, which includes a processor and a memory connected to the processor.

[0110] The memory is used to store one or more computer executable instructions.

[0113] In the above example, by successively detecting, judging and adjusting the odor level in the fabric treatment drum, the oxygen content in the air, the humidity parameters and the temperature parameters in the air, the growth of mold in the fabric treatment drum can be effectively inhibited, which effectively solves the problem of fabric mold and dirty fabric contaminating the internal environment of the fabric treatment drum when the fabric is temporarily stored in the fabric treatment drum, extends the storage time of the fabric, reduces the risk of fabric mold and odor contaminating the internal environment of the fabric treatment drum, and effectively improves the user experience of the fabric treatment equipment.
