[0043] 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.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention proposes an automatic clothing care method, which is applied to a cantilever clothing care machine, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0046] S1: Automatic care mode is on;

[0047] S2: The care ironing plate 1 moves forward and backward until it is at a first normal distance D1 from the clothes to be cared for;

[0048] S3: The care ironing board 1 performs a reciprocating and cyclical top-down movement along the hanging direction of the clothes to be cared for, and during the top-down movement, simulates manual labor to perform a reciprocating and retracting ironing care on the clothes to be cared for.

[0049] Specifically, in the cantilever type clothing care machine, the clothing is naturally suspended and drooped. Due to the above characteristics of the clothing, it is difficult to iron and care the clothing to an ideal effect in this state, because the clothing has no support inside and the clothing itself is flexible. Therefore, the present invention sets a program to make the care ironing plate 1 perform a reciprocating cyclic top-down movement, and only during the top-down movement process does it simulate manual reciprocating and retracting ironing care for the clothing to be cared for.

[0050] Therefore, compared with the prior art in which the care ironing board 1 is only a top-down reciprocating cycle care method, the automatic clothing care method described in the present invention can be applied to a cantilever clothing care machine and can improve the automatic clothing care effect.

[0051] Preferably, step S3 comprises the following steps:

[0052] S31: the care ironing plate 1 moves from top to bottom in a first stroke H1, during which care steam is sprayed toward the clothes to be cared for;

[0053] S32: the care ironing plate 1 is retracted from bottom to top for a second stroke H2, during which care steam is sprayed or not sprayed toward the clothes to be cared for, wherein H2

[0054] S33: cyclically executing steps S31-S32 until the care ironing plate 1 completes the one-way care process from top to bottom according to the length L of the clothing, and stops spraying care steam;​

[0055] S34: the care ironing board 1 moves from bottom to top to the starting ironing position where the clothes hanger 2 is placed;

[0056] S35: Go to step S31 until the clothing care is completed.

[0057] Specifically, in the one-way nursing process from top to bottom, the number of cycles of steps S31-S32 is N=L / (H1-H2), and it is usually better to set N=3 to 5 times. For example, H2=0.5*H1 can be set, and then H1=(2 / 5~2 / 3)*L can be taken, where the length of the clothing L can be collected and determined by pre-programming to further calculate H1 and H2. In addition, in the one-way nursing process from top to bottom, the upper and lower ends of the clothing to be cared for can be cared for twice in a high frequency in a "reciprocating withdrawal" manner in a short period of time as needed. For example, step S31 can move from the starting ironing position of the hanging hanger 2 from top to bottom, and the starting ironing position of the hanging hanger 2 can be higher than the distance H2 of the upper end of the clothing to be cared for.

[0058] Furthermore, the number of executions of step S34 to step S35, that is, the number of reciprocating strokes N of the care ironing plate 1 moving from top to bottom, can be calculated based on pre-programmed settings of the fabric, wrinkle degree, dirtiness, etc. of the clothes to be cared for.

[0059] Preferably, when the care ironing board 1 is arranged at opposite sides in a clamping shape, the care ironing board 1 is retracted from bottom to top in step S32, including the following execution steps:

[0060] S321: The care ironing plate 1 moves forward and backward until it is at a second normal distance D2 from the clothes to be cared for, where D2>D1;

[0061] S322: the care ironing board 1 moves from bottom to top to withdraw the second stroke H2;

[0062] S323: The care ironing plate 1 moves forwards and backwards until it is at a first normal distance D1 from the clothes to be cared for.

[0063] Specifically, when the care ironing board 1 is arranged on the opposite side in a clamping shape, the care ironing board 1 can perform close or contact clamping care on the clothes to be cared for. Correspondingly, in view of the softness of the clothes to be cared for, especially the natural drooping characteristics in the hanging state, in order to avoid unnecessary interference of the care ironing board 1 to the clothes to be cared during the withdrawal process, the care ironing board 1 can first move away from the clothes to be cared in the front-to-back direction, and then after withdrawing upward to the position, it can move closer to the clothes to be cared in the front-to-back direction to meet the first normal distance D1. Among them, D2 can be several times greater than D1, and can be set according to the program as needed.

[0064] Preferably, the first normal distance D1 is negatively correlated with the temperature resistance of the fabric of the clothing to be cared for. The higher the temperature resistance of the fabric, the smaller the first normal distance D1.

[0065] Specifically, in steps S321-S323, the care ironing board 1 can perform close-range or contact clamping care on the clothes to be cared for. At this time, the first normal distance D1 is usually small, so as to make full use of the steam temperature of the care steam and the temperature of the care ironing board 1 to fully iron the clothes to be cared for. The first normal distance D1 can be a variable value and can be calculated in advance according to the pre-programmed settings. The following are the values ​​of the first normal distance D1 for different fabrics based on the different temperature resistance of the fabrics:

[0066] Cotton and linen fabrics: D1 = 0mm; silk fabrics: D1 = 15mm; wool fabrics: D = 23mm; polyester fabrics: D = 25mm. In this way, the ironing care effect can be fully considered from two aspects: the ironing efficiency and quality of this care, and the temperature tolerance of the fabric, that is, the long-term washing and care life of the clothes.

[0067] Preferably, in step S31 and / or step S32, the running speed V of the care ironing board 1 is 1-100 mm / s.

[0068] Specifically, the running speed V can be a fixed value or a variable value, and can be flexibly set according to needs. At the same time, the running speed V in step S31 and step S32 can be the same or different, and can be flexibly set according to needs. But generally speaking, the value range of V should be within the range of 1 to 100 mm / s.

[0069] Preferably, the running speed V is negatively correlated with the temperature resistance of the fabric of the clothing to be cared for, and the higher the temperature resistance of the fabric, the lower the running speed V.

[0070] Specifically, the running speed V can be a variable value, especially when the care ironing board 1 is used for close-range or contact clamping care of the clothes to be cared for, at least in step S31, the running speed V can be negatively correlated with the temperature resistance of the fabric of the clothes to be cared for, and can be calculated in advance according to the pre-programmed settings. The following is the value of the running speed V in the process of the care ironing board 1 moving from top to bottom in step S31 under different fabrics based on the different temperature resistance of the fabrics:

[0071] Cotton and linen fabrics: V = 6.5mm / s; silk fabrics: V = 9.5mm / s; wool fabrics: V = 6mm / s; polyester fabrics: V = 10mm / s. Therefore, the ironing care effect can still be fully considered from two aspects: the ironing efficiency and quality of this care, and the temperature tolerance of the fabric, that is, the long-term washing and care life of the clothes.

[0072] Preferably, step S1 comprises the following steps:

[0073] S11: receiving a start signal of the automatic care mode;

[0074] S12: Collect and identify characteristic information of the clothing to be cared for;

[0075] S13: Calculate nursing parameters based on the collected and identified feature information;

[0076] S14: Automatic care mode is on.

[0077] Specifically, in step S12, the characteristic information includes at least one of the following: fabric information, wrinkle degree, dirtiness, and clothing length L, and step S13 may also correspondingly include at least one of the following:

[0078] S131: Calculating a first normal distance D1 and / or a running speed V according to fabric information;

[0079] S132: Calculating the first stroke H1 and the second stroke H2 according to the length L of the clothing;

[0080] S133: The number of reciprocating strokes N of the care ironing board 1 moving from top to bottom is comprehensively calculated according to the fabric information, wrinkle degree, and dirtiness degree.

[0081] Specifically, the nursing parameters include at least one of the following: D1, V, H1, H2, N. As described above, these nursing parameters can be calculated in advance according to pre-program settings, which specifically correspond to steps S131, S132, and S133.

[0089] 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.

[0090] Specifically, two care ironing plates 1 that are relatively arranged and can move closer to or farther away from each other can move forward and backward on the horizontal rail assembly 4 to move closer to or farther away from the clothes to be cared for hanging on the clothes hanger 2; at the same time, the up and down movement of the horizontal rail assembly 4 on the vertical rail assembly 3 and the steam spray of the care ironing plate 1 can fully meet the execution of the above steps S1-S3, including close-range or contact clamping care for the clothes to be cared for.

[0091] Preferably, the transverse rail assembly 4 is arranged in a frame-like manner and is synchronously slidably connected up and down on the two vertical rail assemblies 3 .

[0092] Specifically, in the present invention, there is at least one vertical rail assembly 3, which can be specifically referred to in Figure 2 When there are two vertical rail components 3, see Figure 3 As shown.
