[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] 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.

[0028] like Figure 1 Combined with Figure 2 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a pet hair care device. The pet hair care device may include a washing machine 1, which may include but is not limited to a drum washing machine or a pulsator washing machine with a drying function, wherein the washing machine may also be other types of fully automatic washing machines.

[0029] The washing machine 1 is provided with a drying device 5, which can deliver a drying airflow with a certain temperature and a certain air volume to the inner drum 11 of the washing machine 1. A detachable pet rack 12 is placed in the inner drum 11. When the pet's hair needs to be dried and cared for after bathing, the door of the washing machine 1 is opened and the pet rack 12 is placed in the inner drum 11; and when the pet's hair is dried and cared for, the pet rack 12 can be taken out of the inner drum 11.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 As shown, a drying inlet 13 connected to the inner drum 11 is provided inside the washing machine 1, and the drying inlet 13 can be connected to the drying device 5. The drying device 5 may include a heating element and an air supply element, the heating element may include but not limited to an electric heating rod, a heater, etc., and the air supply element may include but not limited to an air supply fan, etc. Among them, the drying inlet 13 can be provided on a window pad 15 in the washing machine 1.

[0031] The other end of the drying inlet 13 can be connected to an air supply duct (not shown in the figure), and one end of the air supply duct can be connected to a heating element so that the air is heated by the heating element, and then, under the driving action of the air supply element, the heated air flows along the air supply duct and enters the inner drum 11 through the drying inlet 13. In other words, the drying device 5 built into the washing machine 1 can cooperate with the drying inlet 13 to deliver the first airflow A with a certain air volume and a certain temperature to the inner drum 11.

[0032] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the washing machine 1 is also provided with a fresh air inlet 14 connected to the inner drum 11, wherein the fresh air inlet 14 is provided on a window pad 15 in the washing machine 1. One end of the fresh air inlet 14 is connected to one of the air outlets of the family fresh air system 2 through the air inlet duct 3, so that the family fresh air system 2 is used as a power source for fresh air to deliver fresh air to the inner drum 11. The family fresh air system 2 has multiple air outlets, and the family fresh air system 2 can meet the fresh air needs of various locations in the house. For example, one of the air outlets can be used to adjust the freshness, temperature and humidity of the indoor air.

[0033] It should be noted that the number of the fresh air inlet 14 is at least one, that is, the number of the fresh air inlet 14 can be one, or two or more. The fresh air inlet 14 is preferably arranged in an upper area of ​​the washing machine 1 so that the fresh air can directly act on the top of the pet's head or back, thereby achieving rapid drying of the pet's hair. Alternatively, by setting the position of the fresh air inlet 14, the drying care process of clothes can also be accelerated.

[0034] A heating device (not shown) may be provided in the household fresh air system 2 or the air inlet duct 3. The heating device is configured to heat the fresh air delivered to the inner cylinder 11 to ensure that the fresh air entering the inner cylinder 11 has a set temperature value. The heating device may be a heater, a heating tube, etc. in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0035] On the other hand, the air inlet duct 3 can be integrated into the washing machine 1, and an air volume sensor (not shown in the figure) and a control valve (not shown in the figure) can be arranged in the air inlet duct 3. The control valve and the air volume sensor can be used to quantify the amount of fresh air introduced into any fresh air inlet 14. The control valve can include but is not limited to a stop valve or a ball valve.

[0036] That is to say, based on the heating device and in cooperation with the household fresh air system 2 , the air volume sensor and the control valve, it can be ensured that the second air flow B (ie, fresh air) with a predetermined air volume and a predetermined temperature is delivered to the inner tube 11 .

[0037] Reference Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the first airflow A and the second airflow B are fully mixed in the inner drum 11, so as to form an efficient drying airflow. Moreover, by controlling the temperature of the first airflow A and the temperature of the second airflow B, a temperature-adjustable mixed airflow within different temperature ranges can be achieved, so that the inner drum 11 can be suitable for different pets and achieve the purpose of drying and caring for the hair of different pets.

[0038] It should be noted that the airflow input direction of the fresh air inlet 14 into the inner drum 11 is different from the airflow input direction of the drying inlet 13 through the inner drum 11. With this design, a mixed airflow of airflows in different directions in the inner drum 11 can be achieved, thereby meeting the hair care needs of different pets, and effectively improving the drying care efficiency of the washing machine 1 for pet hair.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 As shown, with the plane parallel to the door of the washing machine 1 as the longitudinal section, the projection of the airflow input direction of the fresh air inlet 14 on the longitudinal section and the projection of the airflow input direction of the drying inlet 13 on the longitudinal section are arranged at a predetermined angle, wherein the predetermined angle can be any angle value between 10 degrees and 180 degrees. In addition, the arrangement positions of the fresh air inlet 14 and the drying inlet 13 are preferably biased toward the upper area of ​​the washing machine 1, so that the fresh air and drying airflows can act on the pet's hair in a direction from the upper side of the pet's head to the lower side, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0040] In this example, the pet hair care program can also be directly linked with the home fresh air system 2. That is to say, the washing machine 1 can be controlled by the control module of the home fresh air system 2 to run the corresponding pet hair care program, or the washing machine 1 can be controlled by its own control system to run the corresponding pet hair care program, which effectively enriches the usage scenarios of the home fresh air system 2.

[0041] In one example, an outlet duct 4 is disposed inside the washing machine 1 and is disposed opposite to (e.g., arranged side by side with) the air inlet duct 3, wherein one end of the outlet duct 4 is connected to the gap between the inner drum 11 and the outer drum of the washing machine 1. That is, the fresh air in the household fresh air system 2 can enter the inner drum 11 of the washing machine 1 through the air inlet duct 3, and the mixed airflow is used to dry the hair of the pet in the inner drum 11. The mixed airflow after drying the hair of the pet can be guided to the outside of the washing machine 1 through the air outlet duct 4.

[0042] In one example, an oxygen concentration detection unit (not shown in the figure) may be provided inside the washing machine 1 or in the inner drum 11. The oxygen concentration detection unit may include but is not limited to an oxygen concentration sensor. The oxygen concentration in the inner drum 11 is obtained in real time during the pet hair care process by using the oxygen concentration detection unit to prevent the occurrence of problems such as pet suffocation caused by low oxygen concentration in the inner drum 11.

[0043] In one example, one or more temperature detection units (not shown) are provided inside the washing machine 1 or in the inner drum 11. The temperature detection unit may include but is not limited to a temperature detection sensor or a temperature and humidity detection sensor. The temperature detection unit can be used to obtain the temperature of the mixed airflow in the inner drum 11 in real time during the pet hair care process to prevent the pet from being burned by high temperature due to the excessive temperature of the mixed airflow in the inner drum 11.

[0044] In the above example, the household fresh air system 2 is used as a power source to provide the second airflow B with adjustable temperature and air volume to the inner drum 11; at the same time, the drying device 5 and the drying inlet 13 are used to provide the first airflow A with adjustable temperature and air volume to the inner drum 11. The first airflow A and the second airflow B are fully mixed in the inner drum 11 to form a mixed airflow with controllable temperature and air volume, and then the temperature control and air volume control are used to achieve a diverse and comfortable care environment in the inner drum 11 to meet the drying and care needs of different pet hairs, and effectively improve the drying efficiency of pet hairs.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a pet hair care device. The control method for the pet hair care device comprises the following steps:

[0046] Step S100: determining the type of hair care program started by the user end.

[0047] Step S200: According to the type of hair care program, the opening of the air inlet duct and the drying device are selectively controlled to adjust the operating parameters of the mixed airflow in the inner barrel in real time.

[0048] In step S100, the type of pet hair care program can be determined by the control module of the home fresh air system 2, that is, the user can control the type of pet hair care program that needs to be run in the inner drum 11 of the washing machine 1 through the control module of the home fresh air system 2.

[0049] It should be noted that the control module of the household fresh air system 2 can adopt the control system in the prior art, as long as the control module can control the various startup functions of the household fresh air system 2, and the specific structural type and specific control logic of the control module will not be repeated here.

[0050] Alternatively, the user may also start the pet hair care program type of the washing machine 1 through the local end of the washing machine 1 or through the cloud.

[0051] In step S200, according to the type of pet hair care program selected by the user, the control module of the home fresh air system 2 can determine when to start. Different types of hair care programs correspond to the input of the second airflow B with different air volumes and different temperatures. At the same time, with the input of the first airflow A with different air volumes and different temperatures, the first airflow A and the second airflow B are fully mixed in the inner drum 11 to dry the hair of the pet on the pet rack, thereby achieving precise temperature control and forming a comfortable care environment in the inner drum, effectively improving the drying efficiency of the pet hair.

[0052] Among them, the types of hair care programs at least include a closed-door care program and an open-door care program. Users can flexibly choose a closed-door care program or an open-door care program according to the hair care needs of different pets. The first airflow A with adjustable air volume and temperature in the closed-door care program or the open-door care program can be achieved by adjusting the drying device 5 through the control module of the home fresh air system 2. The second airflow B with adjustable air volume and temperature in the closed-door care program or the open-door care program can be achieved by adjusting the control valve in the air inlet duct 3 and adjusting the heating device through the control module of the home fresh air system 2.

[0053] By flexibly controlling the opening of the air inlet duct 3 and the drying inlet 13 in the above-mentioned closed-door care program or open-door care program, the operating parameters of the mixed airflow in the inner drum 11 can be adjusted in real time, thereby achieving the drying care needs of different pet hair.

[0054] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the pet hair care program type also includes a customized care program. In the customized care program, the user can flexibly set the relevant parameters in the first airflow A and the second airflow B according to the different pet hair care requirements, such as flexibly setting the air volume value, temperature value, etc. in each airflow, so as to achieve a variety of drying environments in the inner drum 11, thereby meeting the drying care needs of various pet hair.

[0055] In the above example, the pet hair care program is connected to the home fresh air system 2, so that the home fresh air system 2 is used as the power source of fresh air, and the drying airflow provided by the drying device 5 is cooperated to realize the drying care of the hair of different pets, so as to effectively improve the drying efficiency of pet hair, and at the same time improve the user experience, it also enriches the use scenarios of the home fresh air system 2.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, when it is determined that the hair care program type started by the user end is a closed-door care program, the opening of the air inlet duct 3 and the drying inlet 13 are controlled according to the care mode selected by the user end.

[0057] Among them, the care modes include at least standard mode, gentle mode, strong mode and oxygen-rich mode.

[0058] When the care mode selected by the user is the standard mode, the control module based on the home fresh air system 2 controls the air inlet duct 3, and at the same time the drying device 5 is adjusted by the above-mentioned control module, and then the mixed airflow of the first parameter is delivered to the inner drum 11 through the fresh air inlet 14 and the drying inlet 13.

[0059] Specifically, the heating device can be controlled by the control module of the home fresh air system 2. At the same time, based on the air volume sensor, the control valve in the air inlet duct 3 can be adjusted and controlled by the home fresh air system 2, and the home fresh air system is used as the power source of the fresh air to deliver the fresh air of the first temperature and the first air volume to the inner drum 11 through the air inlet duct 3 and the fresh air inlet 14. In addition, the control module of the home fresh air system 2 controls the drying device 5, and delivers the drying airflow of the second temperature and the second air volume to the inner drum 11 through the drying inlet 13, so as to form a mixed airflow of the first parameter in the inner drum 11.

[0060] It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the first temperature, the first air volume, the second temperature and the second air volume can be flexibly set by the user according to the pet's body shape or the type of pet's hair, and are not specifically limited here. On the other hand, when the care mode is selected as the standard mode, it can be used for drying the hair of a medium-sized pet.

[0061] When the care mode selected by the user is the gentle mode, the control module based on the home fresh air system 2 controls the opening of the air inlet duct 3, and at the same time the above-mentioned control module adjusts the drying device 5, and then delivers a mixed airflow of the second parameter into the inner drum 11 through the fresh air inlet 14 and the drying inlet 13.

[0062] Specifically, the heating device can be controlled by the control module of the home fresh air system 2. At the same time, based on the air volume sensor, the control valve in the air inlet duct 3 can be adjusted and controlled by the home fresh air system 2, and the home fresh air system is used as the power source of the fresh air to deliver the fresh air of the third temperature and the third air volume to the inner drum 11 through the air inlet duct 3 and the fresh air inlet 14. In addition, the control module of the home fresh air system 2 controls the drying device 5, and delivers the drying airflow of the fourth temperature and the fourth air volume to the inner drum 11 through the drying inlet 13, so as to form a mixed airflow of the second parameter in the inner drum 11.

[0063] It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the third temperature, the third air volume, the fourth temperature and the fourth air volume can be flexibly set by the user according to the pet's body shape or the type of pet's hair, and are not specifically limited here. On the other hand, when the care mode is selected as the soft mode, a comfortable heat preservation environment can be created in the inner drum 11, and then it can be used for drying the hair of small pets.

[0064] Among them, the air volume of fresh air in the soft mode is smaller than that in the standard mode, that is, the third air volume is smaller than the first air volume; and the air volume of the drying airflow in the soft mode is also smaller than that in the standard mode, that is, the fourth air volume is smaller than the second air volume. At the same time, the temperature values ​​of the third temperature and the fourth temperature in the soft mode can also be smaller than the temperature values ​​of the first temperature and the second temperature in the standard mode. In the soft mode, the fresh air and drying airflow with smaller air volume are used to form a soft airflow in the inner drum 11 to meet the care needs of drying the hair of small pets.

[0065] When the care mode selected by the user is the strong mode, the control module based on the home fresh air system 2 controls the opening of the air inlet duct 3, and at the same time the above-mentioned control module adjusts the drying device 5, and then delivers a mixed airflow of the third parameter into the inner drum 11 through the fresh air inlet 14 and the drying inlet 13.

[0066] Specifically, the heating device can be controlled by the control module of the home fresh air system 2. At the same time, based on the air volume sensor, the control valve in the air inlet duct 3 can be adjusted and controlled by the home fresh air system 2, and the home fresh air system is used as the power source of the fresh air to deliver the fresh air of the fifth temperature and the fifth air volume to the inner drum 11 through the air inlet duct 3 and the fresh air inlet 14. In addition, the control module of the home fresh air system 2 controls the drying device 5, and delivers the drying airflow of the sixth temperature and the sixth air volume to the inner drum 11 through the drying inlet 13, so as to form a mixed airflow of the third parameter in the inner drum 11.

[0067] It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the fifth temperature, the fifth air volume, the sixth temperature and the sixth air volume can be flexibly set by the user according to the pet's body shape or the type of pet's hair, and are not specifically limited here. On the other hand, when the care mode is selected as the strong mode, it can be used for drying the hair of a large pet.

[0068] Among them, the air volume of fresh air in the strong mode is greater than the air volume of fresh air in the standard mode, that is, the fifth air volume is greater than the first air volume; and the air volume of the drying airflow in the strong mode is also greater than the air volume of the drying airflow in the standard mode, that is, the sixth air volume is greater than the second air volume. At the same time, the temperature values ​​of the fifth temperature and the sixth temperature in the strong mode can also be greater than the temperature values ​​of the first temperature and the second temperature in the standard mode. In the strong mode, a strong airflow is formed in the inner drum 11 by using the fresh air and drying airflow with large air volumes to meet the care needs of drying the hair of large pets.

[0069] When the care mode selected by the user is the oxygen-enriched mode, the opening of the air inlet duct 3 is controlled based on the control module based on the home fresh air system 2, and the drying device 5 is adjusted by the above-mentioned control module, and then the mixed airflow of the fourth parameter is delivered to the inner drum 11 through the fresh air inlet 14 and the drying inlet 13.

[0070] Specifically, the heating device can be controlled by the control module of the home fresh air system 2. At the same time, based on the air volume sensor, the control valve in the air inlet duct 3 can be adjusted and controlled by the home fresh air system 2, and the home fresh air system is used as the power source of the fresh air to deliver the fresh air of the seventh temperature and the seventh air volume to the inner drum 11 through the air inlet duct 3 and the fresh air inlet 14. In addition, the control module of the home fresh air system 2 controls the drying device 5, and delivers the drying airflow of the eighth temperature and the eighth air volume to the inner drum 11 through the drying inlet 13, so as to form a mixed airflow of the fourth parameter in the inner drum 11.

[0071] It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the seventh temperature, the seventh air volume, the eighth temperature and the eighth air volume can be flexibly set by the user according to the pet's body shape or the type of pet's hair, and are not specifically limited here. Among them, when the care mode is selected as the oxygen-enriched mode, it can be used for hair drying care of pets of various sizes. The seventh air volume in the oxygen-enriched mode is at least greater than the first air volume in the standard mode, that is, by increasing the airflow of the fresh air in the inner drum 11, the fresh air replacement efficiency of the home fresh air system 2 is increased, and an oxygen-enriched environment is formed in the inner drum 11 to improve the comfort of the pet during the hair drying care process.

[0072] In this embodiment, through the selection of the care mode and the flexible control of the opening of the fresh air inlet and the drying device 5 by the control module of the household fresh air system 2, the pet hair care program can be applied to the hair care of various pets, effectively improving the applicability of the washing machine 1.

[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, when the user selects the door closing care program and runs the corresponding care mode, the control method of the pet hair care device further includes the following steps:

[0074] It is determined whether the operating parameters of the mixed airflow in the inner tube 11 meet the first preset requirement.

[0075] In one example, when the operating parameters of the mixed airflow meet any of the following conditions, the control module of the home fresh air system 2 determines that the first preset requirement is met:

[0076] The temperature value of the fresh air volume in the mixed air flow entering the inner drum 11 through the fresh air inlet 14 is within a first preset range, the drying air volume in the mixed air flow entering the inner drum 11 through the drying inlet 13 is within a second preset range, and the oxygen content in the mixed air flow is greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0077] When the operating parameters of the mixed airflow meet the first preset requirements, the hair care program type runs to the end of the program. At this time, the door of the washing machine 1 is automatically opened by the control module of the home fresh air system 2 or the control module of the washing machine 1, so that the user can take out the pet and the pet rack in time.

[0078] The first preset range, the second preset range and the preset threshold can all be theoretical values ​​set when the device leaves the factory, or can be empirical values ​​obtained by the user during use. In this example, the specific ranges or specific values ​​of the first preset range, the second preset range and the preset threshold are not specifically limited. In an example, the temperature range of the first preset range can be T 温度1 -1<T 温度1 <T 温度1 +1, T 温度1It is a value set by the user based on experience, or a theoretical value set when the device leaves the factory. The temperature range of the second preset range can be T 温度2 -1<T 温度2 <T 温度2 +1, T 温度2 It is the value set by the user based on experience, or the theoretical value set when the equipment leaves the factory.

[0079] When the operating parameters of the mixed airflow do not meet the first preset requirements, the home fresh air system 2 is controlled to issue a warning message.

[0080] In one example, when the volume of fresh air in the mixed airflow entering the inner drum 11 through the fresh air inlet 14 is outside the first preset range; or the volume of drying air in the mixed airflow entering the inner drum 11 through the drying inlet 13 is outside the second preset range, it indicates that the temperature value of the mixed airflow in the inner drum 11 is too high. At this time, it is determined that the operating parameters of the mixed airflow do not meet the first preset requirements. In order to prevent the pet from being burned by high temperature, an over-temperature warning message is sent to the local end or cloud of the washing machine 1 through the home fresh air system 2. At the same time, the door of the washing machine 1 is controlled to automatically pop open, and the pet and the pet rack 12 are taken out in time.

[0081] At the same time, it should be noted that when the nursing mode selected by the user is a custom nursing program, if the fresh air volume in the mixed airflow in the inner drum 11 in the custom nursing program is outside the first preset range; or the drying air volume in the mixed airflow is outside the second preset range, it indicates that the temperature value of the mixed airflow in the inner drum 11 is too high. At this time, it is determined that the operating parameters of the mixed airflow do not meet the first preset requirements. In order to prevent the pet from being burned by high temperature, an over-temperature warning message is sent to the local end or the cloud of the washing machine 1 through the home fresh air system 2. At the same time, the door of the washing machine 1 is controlled to automatically pop open, and the pet and the pet rack 12 are taken out in time.

[0082] Alternatively, when the oxygen content in the mixed airflow is less than a preset threshold, it is determined that the operating parameters of the mixed airflow do not meet the first preset requirement, and the oxygen content in the inner drum 11 is low, and the pet is prone to suffocation during hair drying care. At this time, a low oxygen warning message can be sent to the local end or the cloud of the washing machine 1 through the home fresh air system 2. At the same time, the door of the washing machine 1 is controlled to automatically pop open, and the pet and the pet rack are taken out in time.

[0083] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, when it is determined that the hair care program type started by the user end is an open-door care program, the opening of the air inlet duct 3 and the drying device 5 can also be controlled according to the care environment selected by the user end.

[0084] In one example, the user can also select any one of the above-mentioned standard mode, gentle mode and strong mode when the door of the washing machine 1 is in the open state. It should be noted that the air volume and temperature values ​​in the corresponding care mode selected in the open-door care program are slightly larger than the air volume and temperature values ​​in the corresponding care mode selected in the closed-door care program. For example, the air volume and temperature values ​​of the standard mode in the open-door care program can be slightly larger than the air volume and temperature values ​​of the standard mode in the closed-door care program to meet the drying care needs for pet hair in the open-door care program. Based on this, an open care environment can be formed in the inner drum 11 to meet the hair drying care needs of different pets.

[0085] When the user selects the door-opening care program and in the process of running the corresponding care mode, the control method of the pet hair care device further includes the following steps:

[0086] It is determined whether the operating parameters of the mixed airflow in the inner tube 11 meet the second preset requirement.

[0087] When the temperature of the fresh air in the mixed airflow is lower than the first preset temperature, or the drying temperature of the drying airflow in the mixed airflow is lower than the second preset temperature, it is determined that the operating parameters of the mixed airflow meet the second preset requirements. The control module of the home fresh air system 2 controls the washing machine 1 to run the hair care program type until the program ends. After the corresponding program ends, the user takes out the pet and the pet rack in time.

[0088] It should be noted that the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature can be theoretical values ​​set when the device leaves the factory, or can be empirical values ​​obtained by the user during use. In this example, the specific values ​​of the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature are not specifically limited here.

[0089] In one example, it can also be when the fresh air temperature T 新风 <T 新风 +1, or when the drying temperature T 烘干 <T 烘干 +1, it is determined that the operating parameters of the mixed airflow meet the second preset requirement, that is, the first preset temperature is (T 新风 +1), the second preset temperature is (T 烘干 +1).

[0090] When the fresh air temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, or the drying temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the control module of the home fresh air system 2 determines that the operating parameters of the mixed air flow do not meet the second preset requirement. At this time, the temperature in the inner drum 11 is too high. In order to prevent the pet from being burned by high temperature, the home fresh air system 2 sends an over-temperature warning message to the local terminal and the cloud. At the same time, the washing machine 1 stops heating, and the pet and the pet rack are removed in time.

[0091] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, during the operation of the pet hair care program, a warning message is issued in the household fresh air system 2, resulting in the program being exited midway; or, after the pet hair care program is completed, the control method of the pet hair care device also includes the following steps: after the door of the washing machine 1 is closed again, the self-cleaning program is controlled or forced to run through the household fresh air system 2, so as to use the self-cleaning program to clean the hair and debris in the inner drum 11, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the washing machine 1 when it is used for drying and caring for pet hair next time, and meeting the requirements for the next laundry use of the washing machine 1.

[0092] In the above embodiment, based on the control module of the household fresh air system 2, the household fresh air system 2 is used as a power source to provide a fresh air flow with adjustable air volume and temperature, which is combined with the drying air flow in the washing machine 1 to form an efficient and adjustable diverse mixed air flow to dry the hair of the pet on the pet rack 12. This can achieve fine temperature control and form a comfortable care environment in the inner drum 11, effectively improving the drying efficiency of the pet's hair.

[0093] At the same time, the pet hair care program is linked with the control system of the home fresh air system 2, so that the home fresh air system can be used as the power source of fresh air in conjunction with the drying device to achieve pet hair drying care, thereby effectively improving the drying efficiency of pet hair and achieving full utilization of the washing and care space in the washing machine 1. While improving the user experience, it also effectively enriches the use scenarios of the home fresh air system, reflecting the concept of multiple uses and energy saving and environmental protection.

[0094] 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.
