Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drying devices, and specifically provides a method, a control device, a system and a medium for removing odor from a drying device. Background Art

[0002] A clothes dryer is a device used to dry and disinfect clothes in a drying chamber. It can quickly and efficiently evaporate the moisture in the clothes, making the clothes dry as soon as possible so that they can be worn next time. The dryer usually includes an internal drying box and an external control panel. Users can adjust the dryer's working time, temperature, humidity and other parameters through the panel to obtain the best drying effect. Clothes dryers are widely used in medical, beauty, clothing and other industries.

[0003] When the dryer device is working, the clothes are placed in the drying chamber, and the moisture in the clothes is evaporated through heating and fan circulation. The dryer is suitable for various types of clothes, such as bedding, underwear, coats, etc.

[0004] The necessity of timely drying of the drying device is as follows:

[0005] 1. Protect clothes: The drying device can evaporate the moisture in the clothes in time to prevent moisture from damaging the clothes during the drying process. If the moisture cannot be evaporated in time, it will cause problems such as shrinkage and damage of clothes.

[0006] 2. Improve drying efficiency: Timely drying can greatly improve drying efficiency, reduce the time clothes stay in the drying device, and help speed up the drying of clothes.

[0007] 3. Reduce wrinkles: During the drying process, the moisture in the clothes evaporates, which can reduce wrinkles on the clothes during the drying process.

[0008] 4. Ensure the quality of clothing: Timely drying can ensure the quality and safety of clothing and avoid deterioration of clothing due to excessive humidity during the drying process.

[0009] Therefore, the necessity of timely drying with a drying device is very obvious, which can prevent clothes from being damaged during the drying process, improve drying efficiency, reduce wrinkles, and ensure the quality of clothes.

[0010] With the improvement of people's living standards, drying devices have become more and more popular.

[0011] During the use of the drying device, sometimes the user finishes washing clothes, but due to weather or time constraints, they cannot dry them normally, and need to use the drying device to dry them. If the user does not use the dryer for a long time, the dryer will be sealed for a long time and will produce odor. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the odor from the drying device in time. If it is not removed in time, it will cause odor in the air. Long-term exposure to odor and foul odor will seriously affect human health, causing dizziness, nausea, lack of energy and other problems. At the same time, the presence of odor will reduce the washing effect of the washing machine, affecting the washing effect and clothing quality.

[0012] Therefore, the necessity of removing odors from drying devices is very obvious, which can keep the air fresh, avoid affecting human health, and reduce laundry effects and cleaning difficulty. Summary of the invention

The singular terms "one" and "the" may also include plural forms.

[0077] When the drying device of the prior art is working, clothes are placed in the drying chamber, and the moisture in the clothes is evaporated through heating and fan circulation.

[0078] Existing types of drying devices include washer-dryers, single-body dryers, and double-drum dryers. Each of them has different characteristics and advantages. Different types of drying devices can be selected according to different needs and application scenarios.

[0079] Washer-dryer: A washer-dryer integrates the functions of washing and drying, which can wash clothes and remove moisture and stains on clothes at the same time. It is suitable for washing various types of clothes, reducing the use of detergents, saving time and energy.

[0080] Stand-alone machine: A stand-alone machine is an independent washing and drying equipment, suitable for small places such as homes and hotels, and can meet the daily washing and drying needs of clothes.

[0081] The double drum dryer is a common clothes drying device, which is suitable for light drying of clothes. Its working principle is to use high-temperature hot air to evaporate the moisture on the clothes, and then dry the clothes through the rotation of the drum.

[0082] Double drum dryer is usually composed of drum, hot air box, control cabinet and wires. The drum is usually composed of several metal drums, the hot air box is used to provide high-temperature hot air, the control cabinet is used to control the operation of the dryer, and the wires are used to connect the power supply and circuit.

[0083] During use, the clothes are first put into the drum, and then the hot air is blown through the hot air box to evaporate the moisture on the clothes, and the clothes gradually become dry. During the drying process, the degree of drying can be controlled by adjusting the hot air temperature and humidity.

[0084] Different types of drying devices can be selected according to different needs and application scenarios.

[0085] The present invention is applicable to common drying machines in the prior art.

[0086] The present invention provides a method for controlling odor removal of a drying device, referring to Figure 1 ,include:

[0087] S100, obtaining the degree of odor inside the drying device before the clothes start to be dried;

[0088] S200, determining whether the odor level is higher than a preset threshold;

[0089] S300: If the temperature is higher than the preset threshold, the drying device is controlled to remove the odor.

[0090] Before drying, the degree of odor inside the drying device is first determined. If the degree of odor is higher than a certain level, the drying device is controlled to perform a deodorizing operation.

[0091] The degree of odor inside the drying device can be judged from different angles and methods.

[0092] If it is not higher than the preset threshold, the drying device is controlled to preheat and then start the drying operation.

[0093] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 .

[0094] S100, obtaining the degree of odor inside the drying device includes:

[0095] Obtain the interval between the time when the drying device was first turned on and the corresponding drying end time after the last drying was completed;

[0096] S200, determining whether the odor level is higher than a preset threshold comprises:

[0097] Determine whether the interval duration is greater than a first preset threshold;

[0098] S300, if the temperature is higher than the preset threshold, controlling the drying device to deodorize includes:

[0099] If it is higher than the first preset threshold, the drying device is controlled to deodorize.

[0100] In an application scenario, the first preset threshold is set to 48 hours, S100, obtain the time when the drying device was first turned on after the last drying was completed, 17:00 on October 5, obtain the corresponding drying end time 10:00 on October 1, calculate the difference between the two time periods, that is, the interval duration, S200, the interval duration is greater than 48 hours, indicating that the drying device has not been turned on for a long time after the last drying was completed, S300, higher than the first preset threshold, then control the drying device to deodorize, because the drying device has not been turned on for a long time, the interior is closed, lacks air circulation, and there is a high possibility of odor. This embodiment determines the odor condition inside the drying device, that is, the degree of odor, by whether the drying device has not been turned on for a long time.

[0101] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 .

[0102] S100, obtaining the degree of odor inside the drying device includes:

[0103] Obtaining the length of time during which the drying device has not been used;

[0104] S200, determining whether the odor level is higher than a preset threshold comprises:

[0105] Determining whether the unused time is greater than a second preset threshold;

[0106] S200, if the temperature is higher than the preset threshold, controlling the drying device to deodorize includes:

[0107] If it is higher than the second preset threshold, the drying device is controlled to deodorize.

[0108] A drying device that has not been used for a long time may produce odors. The odor may be caused by aging, moisture, dirt, etc. of the internal materials of the drying device. Therefore, when the drying device is not used for a long time, it is necessary to remove the odor.

[0109] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 .

[0110] S100, obtaining the degree of odor inside the drying device includes:

[0111] Obtain the interval between the time when the clothes were taken out after the last drying and the corresponding drying end time; the interval in this embodiment can determine the retention time of the clothes in the drying device after the last drying was completed.

[0112] S200, determining whether the odor level is higher than a preset threshold comprises:

[0113] Determining whether the interval duration is greater than a third preset threshold;

[0114] S300, if the temperature is higher than the preset threshold, controlling the drying device to deodorize includes:

[0115] If it is higher than the third preset threshold, the drying device is controlled to deodorize.

[0116] If the user does not take out the clothes in time after the last drying, the clothes will accumulate in the drying device, which will easily breed bacteria and produce odor.

[0117] In addition, clothes are easy to produce odor in a relatively closed environment, so if the user did not take out the clothes in time after the last drying, there may be a hidden danger of odor, so it is necessary to start the odor removal process.

[0118] This embodiment determines the degree of odor inside the drying device by examining how long the clothes are taken out.

[0119] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 .

[0120] S100, obtaining the degree of odor inside the drying device includes:

[0121] Obtaining the humidity inside the drying device;

[0122] S200, determining whether the odor level is higher than a preset threshold comprises:

[0123] Determining whether the humidity is higher than a fourth preset threshold;

[0124] S300, if the temperature is higher than the preset threshold, controlling the drying device to deodorize includes:

[0125] If it is higher than a fourth preset threshold, the drying device is controlled to deodorize.

[0126] Excessive humidity in the drying device will produce odor. During the drying process, wet clothes will become moist due to evaporation. If the humidity in the dryer is too high, the wet clothes will take away a certain amount of moisture during the evaporation process, causing the clothes to become dry and tight after drying, and produce odor. In addition, if the moisture in the dryer is not discharged in time, it will also cause the growth of microorganisms such as mold and bacteria, aggravating the generation of odor. Therefore, maintaining appropriate humidity in the dryer is very important to reduce the generation of odor in the dryer.

[0127] Before the drying device is ready for operation, the humidity inside the drying device is obtained. If the device was not fully dried after the last drying, the humidity inside the drying device will be high, which may easily lead to bacterial growth inside the drying device and produce odor. Therefore, the humidity is detected, and if it is higher than a certain value, the deodorization process is started.

[0128] It should be noted that the above embodiments of the present invention use different methods to obtain the degree of odor inside the drying device, and the above methods are not isolated and can also be combined for judgment.

[0129] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 ,

[0130] S55, obtaining the humidity inside the drying device before the clothes start to be dried;

[0131] S65, determining whether the humidity is higher than a fourth preset threshold;

[0132] S75, if it is higher than a fourth preset threshold, controlling the drying device to remove odor;

[0133] S85, if it is not higher than the fourth preset threshold, obtaining the interval between the time when the clothes were taken out after the last drying and the corresponding drying end time;

[0134] S95, determining whether the interval duration is greater than a third preset threshold;

[0135] S105: If the temperature is greater than the third preset threshold, the drying device is controlled to deodorize (remove odor) during the drying process.

[0136] S115, if the interval is not greater than the third preset threshold, control the drying device to preheat before drying. Preheating first during drying allows subsequent drying to be performed in the preheated device, which is faster and more energy-efficient than directly raising the temperature to the preset drying temperature.

[0137] Excessive humidity in the drying device will produce odor. If the humidity is not high, there may not be no odor. If the user does not take out the clothes in time after the last drying, since the drying device is a closed environment to a certain extent, if the first humidity exists, it is easy to breed bacteria and produce odor. Therefore, when the humidity is not greater than the fourth preset threshold, further detection is required. If it is higher than the third preset threshold, it means that the clothes have been stored in the drying device for too long after the last drying, and the odor needs to be removed. If the storage time is not long, the drying process is directly carried out, see S65. In an application scenario, after preheating at 30-40℃ for 15 minutes, the heating and drying process is started. Different drying temperatures can be determined according to different clothing materials, and the drying is carried out for 1.5-2 hours.

[0138] It should be noted that steps S55-115 are only for more clearly illustrating the interrelationships between the steps in this embodiment. S75 and S85 are parallel judgment steps, but they are marked differently, and there is no distinction between the order of precedence and follow-up. Similarly, S105 and S115 are parallel judgment steps, but they are marked differently, and there is no distinction between the order of precedence and follow-up.

[0139] The embodiment of the present invention can be used for drying alone, or can be used in a washing and drying linkage mode in a washing and drying machine.

[0140] In one application scenario, in a washer-dryer:

[0141] S10, the user turns on the washing and drying linkage and starts the washing program.

[0142] S100, obtaining the degree of odor inside the drying device before the clothes start to be dried;

[0143] S200, determining whether the odor level is higher than a preset threshold;

[0144] S300: If the temperature is higher than the preset threshold, the drying device is controlled to remove the odor.

[0145] If the degree of odor is not greater than a preset threshold, the drying device is controlled to start preheating before the washing is completed. After the washing is completed, the drying is performed in the preheated drying device.

[0146] In one application scenario, the second threshold is 48 hours. The second threshold is set based on factors such as local weather and the last drying time.

[0147] The present invention will obtain the degree of odor inside the drying device, determine whether there are hidden dangers and possibilities of odor, and perform odor removal operations in a timely manner to solve the problem of strong odor in the drum when users dry clothes, reduce user complaints, and improve user experience.

[0148] In one embodiment, the step S300 of controlling the drying device to remove odor during the drying process includes:

[0149] S320, controlling a fan of the drying device to be turned on for a first period of time to supply air to the interior of the drying device.

[0150] In the prior art, drying devices all include a fan.

[0151] In one application scenario, an activated carbon filler is provided on the inner wall of the cylinder of the drying device.

[0152] The activated carbon filler is filled on the side of the drying device.

[0153] Activated carbon is an adsorbent with a high specific surface area and porosity, so it can effectively absorb odors and pigments. Its working principle is mainly through physical adsorption, which adsorbs odorous substances to the pore surface of activated carbon, thereby achieving the effect of purifying the air.

[0154] Activated carbon can absorb odorous substances in the air, such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, etc., thereby improving indoor air quality.

[0155] Adsorbing pigments: Activated carbon can absorb certain pigment substances in the air, such as sugars, proteins, etc., making the air fresh.

[0156] Adsorb toxic substances: Activated carbon can absorb toxic substances in the air, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in smoke, and reduce the concentration of harmful substances in the air.

[0157] Purify the air: Activated carbon can absorb dust, pollen and other inhalable particles in the air, purify the air and improve breathing comfort.

[0158] Under the adsorption of activated carbon, the fan of the drying device is started, which can promote air flow and accelerate the adsorption of activated carbon. Activated carbon can more effectively adsorb harmful substances such as odor and pigments when air is circulated. This is because during the air circulation process, activated carbon can contact more air, thereby increasing the contact area with harmful substances, which is conducive to the adsorption process.

[0159] The adsorption performance of activated carbon mainly depends on its pore structure, specific surface area and adsorption surface

[0160] Roughness and other factors. When air circulates, oxygen and harmful substances in the air will have more contact with the surface of activated carbon, which is conducive to the activated carbon to better adsorb these substances. In addition, the pore structure of activated carbon can play a buffering role in the adsorption process, reduce the adsorption temperature, and further improve the adsorption effect.

[0161] In one embodiment, at S320, the fan of the drying device is turned on for a first time period, and before the step of supplying air to the interior of the drying device, the method further includes:

[0162] S310, controlling the air pump to start and extracting the gas inside the drying device.

[0163] The gas inside the drying device is renewed and replaced by extracting and discharging the gas inside the drying device.

[0164] The air pump may be a vacuum pump.

[0165] In an application scenario, S310-S320 is cycled several times, so that the gas inside the drying device can be fully renewed, promoting the discharge and dissipation of odor.

[0166] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7 After the step of controlling the fan of the drying device to be turned on for a first time period to supply air to the interior of the drying device, the method further comprises:

[0167] S330, controlling the aroma diffuser to turn on and diffuse fragrance into the drying device.

[0168] After the aroma diffuser is turned on, the aroma diffuser generates fragrance, and the aroma diffuser diffuses the fragrance toward the inside of the drying device, so that the clothes inside the drying device are filled with fragrance.

[0169] In one application scenario, the raw material of the aromatherapy machine is liquid essential oil, and the options are lavender oil, tea tree oil, lemon oil, neroli oil, sandalwood oil and the like.

[0170] The benefits of using liquid essential oils as aromatherapy ingredients include:

[0171] 1. Good volatility: The volatile components in liquid essential oils evaporate easily and diffuse into the air, giving people a pleasant fragrance.

[0172] 2. Easier to store and transport: Liquid essential oils can be better sealed and preserved, and are easier to transport and store than solid raw materials.

[0173] 3. Better product quality: The quality of liquid essential oils is easier to control, and the concentration and aroma of the essential oils can be adjusted by adjusting the processing process.

[0174] In one application scenario, when the aroma diffuser is started, the fan inside the drying device is started at the same time. The fan is connected to the aroma diffuser through an air duct. The direction of the air duct is set so that the fragrance emitted by the aroma diffuser is blown into the drying device.

[0175] In one application scenario, the aromatherapy machine is connected to the atomizer, and the discharge port of the atomizer is arranged toward the inside of the drying device. When in use, the aromatherapy machine is started, and the essential oil of the aromatherapy machine flows into the atomizer. After atomization, the spray is transported to the drying device. The clothes are attached to the aromatherapy spray sprayed by the atomizer, which will produce fragrance. By controlling the atomizer, the discharge amount of the fragrance can be controlled, which is easy to control and meets the personalized needs of users.

[0176] After the essential oil is atomized through the nebulizer:

[0177] 1. Easier to be absorbed by clothes: The atomized essential oil is easier to be absorbed by clothes and exerts its best effect.

[0178] 2. More volatile: The essential oil atomized by the atomizer is more likely to evaporate, making it easier for people to enjoy its fragrance and air-freshening effect.

[0179] 3. More stable release: The atomizer can control the release speed of the aroma and can control the degree of aroma release according to the needs of the user.

[0180] 4. Reduce environmental pollution: The atomized essential oil is more easily absorbed and volatilized by clothing, reducing pollution to the environment.

[0181] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a control device. In one embodiment of the control device according to the present invention, the control device includes a processor and a storage device. The storage device can be configured to store a program for executing the odor removal control method for the drying device of the above method embodiment, and the processor can be configured to execute the program in the storage device, which includes but is not limited to the program for executing the odor removal control method for the drying device of the above method embodiment. For ease of explanation, only the parts related to the embodiment of the present invention are shown. For specific technical details not disclosed, please refer to the method part of the embodiment of the present invention. The control device can be a control device device formed by various electronic devices.

[0182] The present invention also provides a system for drying and deodorizing clothes, referring to Figure 8 ,include:
