Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of household appliances, and in particular provides a clothing processing device and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the number of clothes in users' homes is increasing, especially women's clothes. There are dozens or even hundreds of sets of clothes of different seasons, occasions and styles. The clothes that are changed every day are sometimes not washed immediately. For example, some clothes have been worn but there are no obvious stains on them. Users may wear them again the next day or at other times, and generally put these clothes aside. In addition, for the clothes to be washed, users generally put the clothes in a storage box and wash them together after accumulating a certain amount, but users may forget to wash the clothes in the storage box.

[0003] The degree of dirtiness of these clothes that are taken off but not washed immediately is different. For example, some clothes are only worn downstairs and will not be stained. These clothes can be worn again and are not easy to produce odor when placed. Some clothes will be stained with some sweat stains when worn close to the body, and will not produce odor until a certain period of time in a suitable environment. Some dirty clothes that are ready to be washed are stained with large stains and are easy to produce odors. For example, clothes after being caught in the rain and clothes worn during exercise will soon produce serious odors if they are not washed or dried in time. Placing multiple clothes together is prone to breeding bacteria and endangering the health of users, and the odor produced will affect the lives of users. The storage boxes on the market are generally plastic and fabric, and some storage boxes are relatively closed. The clothes that are taken off are squeezed together, which is more likely to breed bacteria. How to deal with these clothes with different degrees of dirtiness so that they will not breed bacteria and produce odors is a problem that needs to be solved in life now.

[0004] Accordingly, the art needs a new clothes treating device to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above technical problem, that is, to solve the problem that the prior art cannot handle the clothes with different degrees of dirtiness but not immediately washed. To this end, the present invention provides a clothes processing device and a control method thereof, the clothes processing device comprising: a clothes dryer, a drying device and a first air duct are arranged in the clothes dryer, the first air duct is connected to the interior of the clothes dryer, and the wind generated by the drying device enters the first air duct and then blows into the interior of the clothes dryer; a placing box, the placing box is arranged on one side of the clothes dryer, a second air duct is arranged on the placing box, and the second air duct is connected to the first air duct; a control valve, the control valve is used to control the connection and closing of the first air duct and the second air duct; a monitoring device, the monitoring device is used to monitor the information in the placing box.

[0006] In the above specific implementation of the clothing processing device, the monitoring device includes: a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an odor sensor, and a weight sensor.

[0007] A control method for a clothing processing device, the clothing processing device adopts any of the above-mentioned clothing processing devices, and the control method comprises the following steps: a monitoring device detects information in a placement box to obtain monitoring data; determines whether the monitoring data reaches a preset threshold; if not, continues monitoring; if reached, starts a drying device to ventilate the placement box through a second air duct.

[0008] In a specific implementation of the above-mentioned control method with a clothing processing device, the control method also includes the following steps: after turning on the drying device, continue to monitor the information in the placement box to obtain monitoring data; determine whether the monitoring data drops below a preset threshold; if it has dropped below the preset threshold, turn off the drying device and continue to monitor the information in the placement box; if it has not dropped below the preset threshold, control the drying device to continue working.

[0009] In the specific implementation of the control method with a clothing processing device, "if reached, start the drying device, and ventilate the placement box through the second air duct" is specifically: if the monitoring data reaches a preset threshold, the control system of the placement box sends a signal to the dryer, starts the drying device, adjusts the control valve, closes the first air duct, opens the second air duct, and ventilates the placement box.

[0010] In the specific implementation of the control method with the clothing processing device mentioned above, "determining whether the monitoring data reaches the preset threshold" is specifically: the monitoring data includes: temperature data, moisture data, odor data, weight data, and each data has a corresponding preset threshold; when each data reaches the corresponding preset threshold, it is determined that the monitoring data reaches the preset threshold; or when any data reaches the corresponding preset threshold, it is determined that the monitoring data reaches the preset threshold.

[0011] In the specific implementation of the control method with the above-mentioned clothing processing device, "the monitoring device detects the information in the placement box to obtain monitoring data" is specifically: the weight sensor in the monitoring device remains on standby, and after the weight sensor detects that clothes are placed in the placement box, the control system of the placement box controls other sensors of the monitoring device to enter a low power consumption stage, and the monitoring device in the low power consumption stage monitors the information in the placement box once every period of time to obtain monitoring data.

[0012] In a specific implementation of the above-mentioned control method with a clothing processing device, the control method also includes the following steps: determining whether the weight data reaches a prompt value; if it does not reach the prompt value, continuing monitoring; if it reaches the prompt value, prompting the user to wash the clothes.

[0013] In the specific implementation of the control method with the clothing processing device, "prompting the user to wash clothes" specifically includes: prompting the user to wash clothes through language; and / or sending information prompting the user to wash clothes through the control system of the placement box.

[0014] In a specific implementation of the control method of the above-mentioned laundry processing device, the control system of the storage box adjusts the interval time between two adjacent monitorings of the monitoring device in the low power consumption stage.

[0015] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can well solve the problem that clothes are prone to breeding bacteria when stored for a long time. When the monitoring device detects that the information in the storage box is abnormal, the control system of the storage box sends a signal to the dryer to start the drying device, and at the same time adjusts the control valve to close the first air duct and open the second air duct to ventilate the storage box. The hot air generated by the drying device can reduce the humidity in the storage box, thereby reducing the probability of bacterial growth. The present invention can maintain the clothes in the storage box in an environment that is not easy to produce odors. It not only solves the problem that users are prone to breeding bacteria when storing dirty clothes for a long time, but also the structure of the entire clothing processing device is relatively simple. There are not many changes to the dryer. Only a slight change in the air path and control program of the dryer is needed to achieve this function. The cost is low, the operation is simple, and the feasibility is high. For some clothes that cannot be washed frequently, such as cashmere and down jackets, they can even be stored in the storage box for a long time and can remain dry and odorless for a long time.

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with a clothes dryer. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments to them as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0024] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that the relevant devices or elements must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to more clearly demonstrate the core technical solution of the present invention, the description of the well-known structure of the dryer is omitted in the following description. However, this omission is only for the convenience of description and does not mean that the dryer can be without these structures.

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention proposes a clothing processing device including: a dryer 1, in which a drying device (not shown) and a first air duct 2 are arranged, the first air duct 2 is connected to the interior of the dryer 1, and the wind generated by the drying device enters the first air duct 2 and is blown into the interior of the dryer 1, that is, blown into the drying chamber of the dryer 1, to dry the clothes in the drying chamber; the dryer 1 can be an exhaust type dryer, a heat pump type dryer or a condensing dryer, etc.

[0028] A placement box 3 is provided on one side of the dryer 1. A second air duct 4 is provided on the placement box 3. Since the end of the second air duct 4 is connected with the end of the first air duct 2, the wind generated by the drying device can be blown into the placement box 3 through the second air duct 4. The placement box 3 can be provided on any side of the dryer 1, as long as the end of the second air duct 4 of the placement box 3 can be connected with the end of the first air duct 2. On this basis, in order to facilitate the placement or removal of clothes, the installation position of the placement box 3 can be selected according to the actual position of the dryer 1.

[0029] Control valve 5, control valve 5 is used to control the connection and closing of the first air duct 2 and the second air duct 4, so as to control the clothing processing device. When the clothes in the dryer 1 need to be dried, the control valve 5 is controlled to open the first air duct 2 and close the second air duct 4, so as to quickly dry the clothes, and not discharging air into the placement box 3 can also avoid increasing energy consumption; when the clothes in the placement box 3 need to be dried, the control valve 5 is controlled to close the first air duct 2 and open the second air duct 4. The control valve 5 can be a three-way valve or other valve bodies. Those skilled in the art can use different valve bodies according to actual conditions.

[0030] The monitoring device is used to monitor the information in the storage box 3. There are many sensors installed inside the dryer 1. The monitoring device can monitor the storage box 3 through the sensors inside the dryer 1, but it is necessary to improve the original system of the dryer 1; for convenience, another monitoring module can be directly installed in the storage box 3, and a control system can be installed in the storage box 3, so that there is no need to make too many changes to the dryer 1.

[0031] In reality, after changing clothes, the degree of dirtiness varies from one piece of clothing to another, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the specific degree of dirtiness of the clothing. Although some clothing has no obvious stains on the surface, they may be stained with sweat and water stains, which are prone to produce odors. In addition, clothing without obvious stains on the surface is generally placed for a longer time, and long-term placement is more likely to produce odors, especially when multiple pieces of clothing are placed at the same time. In serious cases, the house may be filled with clothing odors, and other clothing may also be stained with these odors, but it is not clear which clothing produces the odor, resulting in the user's clothing being unable to be worn normally. If a portion of clothing with obvious stains is picked out and placed separately, additional storage space is required, and heavily soiled clothing may breed bacteria in a shorter period of time. By the time the user remembers to wear or wash it again, it may have become moldy or produce odors.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to solve the problem of processing these clothes with different degrees of dirtiness so that they will not breed bacteria and produce odor, the clothing processing device of this scheme is provided with a dryer 1 and a placement box 3. The original internal structure of the dryer 1 includes a drying device and a first air duct 2. The placement box 3 is arranged on one side of the dryer 1 for placing clothes. The clothes can be stacked or hung. The placement box 3 is connected to the end of the first air duct 2 through the second air duct 4. With the help of the drying device inside the dryer 1, the placement box 3 is ventilated. The placement box 3 does not need to be sealed, so that the wind blown into the placement box 3 can be discharged from the gap.

[0033] The present invention can well solve the problem that clothes are prone to breeding bacteria when stored for a long time. When the monitoring device detects that the information in the storage box 3 is abnormal, the control system of the storage box 3 sends a signal to the dryer 1 to start the drying device, and at the same time adjusts the control valve 5 to close the first air duct 2 and open the second air duct 4 to ventilate the storage box 3. The hot air generated by the drying device can reduce the humidity in the storage box 3, thereby reducing the probability of bacterial growth; when the monitoring device detects that the humidity in the storage box 3 has dropped to a preset threshold, the control system of the storage box 3 controls the drying device to close, and adjusts the control valve 5 again to restore it to its initial state, that is, the first air duct 2 is opened and the second air duct 4 is closed.

[0034] The present invention can maintain the clothes in the storage box 3 in an environment that is not easy to produce odor, which not only solves the problem that users are prone to breeding bacteria when storing dirty clothes for a long time, but also the structure of the entire clothing processing device is relatively simple, and the changes to the dryer 1 are not much. Only a slight change in the air path and control program of the dryer 1 is needed to achieve this function, which has low cost, simple operation and high feasibility. For some clothes that cannot be washed frequently, such as cashmere and down jackets, they can even be stored in the storage box 3 for a long time, and can be kept dry and odor-free for a long time, which is very suitable for some areas with plum rain weather.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to fully monitor the information in the storage box 3, the monitoring device includes: a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an odor sensor, and a weight sensor. The temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are used to monitor the temperature and humidity in the storage box 3, and the odor sensor is used to monitor the air odor in the storage box 3; the temperature for bacterial growth is generally 25-35 degrees, and the humidity is about 70%. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature has reached the bacterial growth temperature, the humidity in the storage box 3 continues to rise to a preset threshold, and the odor sensor detects that the odor in the storage box 3 reaches a certain threshold, the intelligent control system of the storage box 3 can send a start signal to the dryer 1 to control the dryer 1 to start, and at the same time control the dryer 1 to start the drying device to start working, adjust the control valve 5, close the first air duct 2 connected to the dryer 1, and open the second air duct 4 connected to the storage box 3. The hot air generated by the heating of the drying device enters the placement box 3 through the second air duct 4, reducing the humidity of the placement box 3, thereby reducing the chance of bacteria growth; when the humidity sensor detects that the humidity of the placement box 3 has dropped to within the preset value and the odor has dropped to within the safety threshold, the intelligent control system controls the drying device of the dryer 1 to close, and at the same time adjusts the control valve 5 to close the second air duct 4 connected to the placement box 3, opens the first air duct 2 connected to the dryer 1, and finally turns off the power of the dryer 1.

[0036] The weight sensor is used to monitor the weight of the clothes placed in the placement box 3. When there are no clothes in the placement box 3, the weight monitored by the weight sensor is zero. When clothes are placed in the placement box 3, the weight monitored by the weight sensor is greater than zero, and it is judged that clothes are placed. According to the monitoring results of the weight sensor, other sensors can be started, and other sensors can enter the low power consumption stage, that is, they can be measured once every period of time, and real-time monitoring is not required. The interval time can be adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, within the first few days of the clothes being placed, the monitoring interval is longer. As the placement time increases, the time interval is reduced to prevent the growth of bacteria; after a few days, the user puts in a batch of clothes again. After the number of clothes increases, the interval time between the two monitoring measurements can be reduced. After the weight sensor detects that the weight reaches a certain value, it can remind the user to wash the clothes. A weighing tray can be selected as a weight sensor and placed at the bottom of the placement box 3.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, a control method for a clothing processing device is any one of the above-mentioned clothing processing devices, and the control method comprises the following steps: a monitoring device detects information in a placement box 3 to obtain monitoring data; it is determined whether the monitoring data reaches a preset threshold; if not, it indicates that the environment in the placement box 3 is not easy to breed bacteria, and the monitoring is continued. In order to reduce energy consumption, the monitoring can be performed again after a period of time; if it is reached, it indicates that the environment in the placement box 3 is easy to breed bacteria, and the drying device is started to ventilate the placement box 3 through the second air duct 4 to reduce the humidity in the placement box 3.

[0038] The preset threshold of the temperature sensor can be 25 degrees, the preset threshold of the humidity sensor can be 70%, and the preset threshold of the weight sensor can be 0, that is, as long as clothes are put in, the preset threshold is exceeded, and the size of the preset threshold can be adjusted; after the preset threshold is adjusted to an appropriate size, the placement box 3 can also be used to store items that are not suitable for a humid environment, realizing one machine for multiple uses; or a placement box 3 is set on both sides of the dryer 1, one for placing taken-off clothes and the other for storing clean clothes.

[0039] Furthermore, the control method also includes the following steps: after the drying device is turned on, the information in the placement box 3 is continuously monitored to obtain monitoring data; it is determined whether the monitoring data drops below a preset threshold value, that is, whether the environment is no longer suitable for bacterial reproduction and growth; if it has dropped below the preset threshold value, the drying device is turned off and the information in the placement box 3 is continued to be monitored; if it has not dropped below the preset threshold value, the drying device is controlled to continue to work. After the drying device is turned on for a period of time, the monitoring data monitors the environment in the placement box 3 again. When the monitoring data does drop below the preset threshold value, the drying device is turned off. If it is turned off directly without monitoring, it may cause bacteria to grow on the clothes in the placement box 3. If the monitoring data does not drop below the preset threshold value, the drying device is allowed to continue to work, and after a period of time, it is monitored again and it is determined again whether the monitoring data drops below the preset threshold value. If not, the cycle continues until the monitoring data drops below the preset threshold value, and then the drying device is turned off. In order to reduce energy consumption, the interval between two monitorings should not be too long.

[0040] Further, if Figure 5 As shown, “if reached, start the drying device and ventilate the storage box 3 through the second air duct 4” specifically means: if the monitoring data reaches the preset threshold, the control system of the storage box 3 first sends a signal to the dryer 1, starts the drying device of the dryer 1, and adjusts the control valve 5, closes the first air duct 2, opens the second air duct 4, the heating tube of the drying device works, and then the hot air generated by the drying device is ventilated to the storage box 3 through the second air duct 4.

[0041] Further, if Figure 5 As shown, "determining whether the monitoring data reaches the preset threshold" specifically means: the monitoring data includes: temperature data, humidity data, odor data, weight data, etc., and the types of sensors can be selectively increased or decreased according to the actual situation. Each data has a corresponding preset threshold; there are two decision-making methods for determining whether the monitoring data reaches the preset threshold. The first is: when each data reaches the corresponding preset threshold, it is determined that the monitoring data reaches the preset threshold, that is, all monitoring data need to reach the preset threshold; the second is: when any data reaches the corresponding preset threshold, it is determined that the monitoring data reaches the preset threshold, that is, as long as one of the data reaches the preset threshold.

[0042] The first method requires more conditions to be met than the second method. There may be some situations: although some values ​​have not reached the preset threshold, some data have reached the preset threshold. According to the first judgment method, the drying device will not be started for drying, and there is a certain probability that the clothes will become moldy. The second method requires relatively fewer conditions to be met, but it is easier to cause misjudgment. For example, only when the temperature rises above the threshold, the drying device will be started for drying according to the second judgment method. However, the temperature exceeding the threshold may only be due to the influence of the external environment. Frequent starting of the drying device will lead to increased energy consumption. The specific judgment method to be used can be selected by technicians in this field according to actual needs.

[0043] Further, "the monitoring device detects the information in the placement box 3 and obtains the monitoring data" specifically means: the weight sensor in the monitoring device remains on standby, and after the weight sensor detects that clothes are placed in the placement box 3, the control system of the placement box 3 controls the other sensors of the monitoring device to enter the low power consumption stage, and the monitoring device in the low power consumption stage monitors the information in the placement box 3 once every period of time to obtain the monitoring data. The monitoring device includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an odor sensor, and a weight sensor, etc. In order to reduce energy consumption, when the clothes are not placed in the placement box 3, only the weight sensor can be left on standby, and after it is determined that clothes are placed, the other sensors can be started; when the weight data monitored by the weight sensor breaks through zero, it is determined that clothes are placed, and the control system of the placement box 3 controls the other sensors of the monitoring device to start. Since the clothes are generally not quickly bred by bacteria after being placed in the placement box 3, the monitoring device can be allowed to enter the low power consumption stage, and the information in the placement box 3 can be monitored once every period of time, and the interval time can be adjusted. If it is detected that the humidity, temperature or odor in the placement box 3 rises continuously, the measurement interval time can be reduced to destroy the environment suitable for breeding bacteria as soon as possible.

[0044] Furthermore, if too many clothes are stored in the placement box 3, the ventilation effect may be affected. Therefore, in order to prevent bacteria from breeding on the clothes, a weight prompt value is set. If the weight data exceeds the prompt value, the user will be reminded to wash the clothes. Therefore, the control method also includes the following steps: determine whether the weight data reaches the prompt value; if the prompt value is not reached, continue monitoring; if the prompt value is reached, prompt the user to wash the clothes.

[0045] Furthermore, "prompting the user to wash clothes" specifically means: the user can be prompted to wash clothes through language; or a message prompting the user to wash clothes can be sent to the user's mobile phone or other smart terminal through the control system of the placement box 3.

[0046] Furthermore, the control system of the placement box 3 can adjust the interval time between two adjacent monitorings of the monitoring device in the low power consumption stage. For example, if the odor data continues to increase, the time interval between the two monitorings can be reduced. If the temperature is monitored to continue to decrease, the time interval between the two monitorings can be increased. If the weight data continues to increase, it means that the user has put in clothes many times, and bacteria will grow after the increase in clothes, so the time interval between the two subsequent monitorings can also be reduced.

[0047] So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. 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.
