[0038] In order to make the above-mentioned purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention more clear and easy to understand, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments of the present invention described herein only constitute part of the embodiments of the present invention, which are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention proposes an automatic clothing care method, comprising the following steps:

[0041] S1: Automatic care mode is on;

[0042] S2: Evenly wet the clothes to be cared for hung on the support hanger 3 through the caring ironing board 1 or the atomizing spray assembly 2;

[0043] S3: standing for a first preset time T1 to achieve pre-softening of the clothes to be cared for;

[0044] S4: Performing quick close-range or contact care on the clothes to be cared for by using the care ironing board 1;

[0045] S5: Drying the clothes through the drying device 4.

[0046] Specifically, in the present invention, the advantages of the automatic care mode are utilized, and the clothes to be cared for are first evenly wetted through program setting, so that the clothing fibers can fully absorb moisture and soften for a period of time; then the care ironing plate 1 is controlled to be close to the clothes to be cared for to achieve rapid completion of close-range or contact care, thereby reducing the irreversible damage to the clothing fibers caused by the continuous high temperature of the care ironing plate 1 in the prior art; finally, the hot air of the drying device 4 is used to dry the clothes, so as to achieve the ultimate ideal care effect.

[0047] Therefore, through the automatic clothing care method described in the present invention, light clothing care can be quickly achieved to meet basic care needs, while reducing the irreversible damage to clothing fibers caused by the continuous high temperature of the care ironing plate.

[0048] Preferably, as a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, step S2 includes the following steps:

[0049] S21: The care ironing board 1 moves forward and backward to a first preset transverse position, so that the normal distance L1 between the care ironing board 1 and the clothes to be cared is ≥20 mm;

[0050] S22: The care ironing plate 1 moves up and down, and evenly sprays the first high-temperature wet steam toward the clothes to be cared for;

[0051] S23: After the clothes to be cared for are evenly wetted, the caring ironing board 1 stops moving and spraying.

[0052] Specifically, in step S2, before the care ironing plate 1 moves from top to bottom, the care ironing plate 1 is pre-adjusted to be at least 20 mm away from the clothes to be cared, so that the first high-temperature wet steam can then cover the clothes to be cared in a uniform and continuous long-distance spraying manner, thereby ensuring and until the clothes to be cared are evenly sprayed and wetted; thereafter, the care ironing plate 1 stops moving and spraying, and waits for the first preset time T1 to achieve pre-softening of the clothing fibers.

[0053] Preferably, before step S21 or step S22, step S2 further includes the following steps:

[0054] S20: The steam generator 5 heats water to a first set temperature and then stops heating, during which the care ironing board 1 does not heat or heats intermittently.

[0055] Specifically, after the automatic care mode is turned on, or at the latest after the care ironing board 1 moves forward or backward to the first preset horizontal position, the steam generator 5 starts heating after water is taken in through the water pump 6. During this period, the care ironing board 1 is not heated or is heated intermittently so that the care ironing board 1 will not be heated to the set maximum temperature (generally 200°C).

[0056] Preferably, as a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the atomizing spray assembly 2 includes an atomizing spray head arranged on the care ironing board 1 or in the care machine cavity 7.

[0057] Specifically, compared with the first preferred embodiment, if the atomizing spray head is set in the nursing machine cavity 7, the normal distance from the clothes to be cared for is relatively fixed, and the number of atomizing spray heads can be flexibly set according to needs; if it is set on the nursing ironing board 1, the normal distance from the clothes to be cared for is still relatively adjustable. However, compared with the simple injection of the first high-temperature wet steam, the use of the atomizing spray head will make the atomizing spray medium easier to diffuse in the air, so that no matter how the normal distance between the atomizing spray head and the clothes to be cared is, it can easily avoid the non-uniform wetting of a large area of ​​the clothes to be cared, thereby ensuring that step S3 can obtain a more ideal pre-softening effect.

[0058] Preferably, step S4 comprises the following steps:

[0059] S41: the steam generator 5 is continuously heated to a second set temperature, during which the care ironing board 1 is continuously heated;

[0060] S42: The care ironing board 1 moves forward and backward to a second preset lateral position, so that the normal distance L2 between the care ironing board 1 and the clothes to be cared is ≤5 mm;

[0061] S43: the care ironing plate 1 moves up and down and sprays the second high-temperature steam toward the clothes to be cared for close-range or contact care of the clothes to be cared for, wherein the humidity of the second high-temperature steam is lower than that of the first high-temperature wet steam;

[0062] S44: The quick care is completed, and the care ironing board 1 stops spraying and moves away.

[0063] Specifically, in step S4, on the basis of the previous pre-softening, the steam temperature of the second high-temperature steam and the temperature of the care ironing plate 1 itself continue to be used to perform close or contact care on the clothes, so that the close or contact care can be completed quickly, and the humidity of the second high-temperature steam can be relatively small, so as to fully take into account the full-process care experience of the previous pre-softening, the current care control, and the later drying. Specifically, it can be flexibly controlled according to the mutual coordination between the water level of the steam generator 5, the second set temperature, and the continuous heating of the care ironing plate 1.

[0070] The care ironing board 1 is fixed on the cross arm 10 and arranged on the opposite sides in a clamping shape;

[0071] The control unit is used to execute relevant care commands according to the set program to at least control the forward and backward movement, up and down movement, and steam injection of the care ironing board 1.

[0072] Specifically, when contact clamping care is required for clothes, and the support hanger 3 is only used to hang and support clothes, the care ironing plate 1 can only spray steam under clamping care to the clothes during the reciprocating cycle from top to bottom.

[0073] Preferably, the spray-type clothing care machine further comprises a drying device 4, a steam generator 5, and a water pump 6, all of which are electrically connected to the control unit, wherein the water pump 6, the steam generator 5, and the care ironing board 1 are sequentially connected via pipelines.

[0074] Specifically, in the spray-type clothing care machine of the present invention, the control unit is used to execute the relevant care commands according to the set program, so that steps S1-S5 are a complete and fully automated care process. The steam generator 5 can be understood as a first-level heating, and the care ironing board 1 can be understood as a third-level heating.

[0075] Preferably, a secondary heating device is also provided at the front end of the care ironing board 1 on the pipeline to perform secondary heating on the condensed water in the pipeline.

[0076] Specifically, on the basis of the aforementioned mutual coordination for flexible control, the generation of the first high-temperature wet steam and the second high-temperature steam includes differentiated realization, and can also be realized in a coordinated manner through non-heating or intermittent heating of the secondary heating device and / or the care ironing board 1.
