[0052] 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.

[0053] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a clothes processing device. The clothes processing device may include but is not limited to a washing machine, and the washing machine may include but is not limited to a washing and care machine, a washing and drying machine, etc. For example, the washing machine may be a drum washing machine or a pulsator washing machine with a drying or washing and care function, and of course, the washing machine may also be other types of fully automatic washing machines.

[0054] In the following examples, the clothing processing equipment is described by taking a washer-dryer or a washer-dryer as an example.

[0055] The laundry processing device is provided with a laundry processing drum, in which laundry can be accommodated. The laundry processing device can run a laundry care program to achieve wrinkle removal care for the laundry in the laundry processing drum through the laundry care program.

[0056] The clothing processing device may also be provided with a weight detection component, which is used to detect the weight of the clothing in the clothing processing drum to obtain the real-time weight of the clothing before washing, rinsing, dehydration or during dehydration, and before drying or during drying.

[0057] The weight detection component may include but is not limited to a weight sensor.

[0058] It should be noted that the real-time weight of the clothes in each processing stage can also be converted by the driving motor provided in the clothes processing device, and the driving motor is used to drive the clothes processing drum to rotate, that is, the weight of the clothes can be converted by the real-time power or rotation power consumption of the driving motor during the rotation process. Among them, the weight of the clothes can be converted by using the real-time power or rotation power consumption of the driving motor, etc., which will not be described in detail here. The driving motor can include but is not limited to a variable frequency motor, a servo motor, etc.

[0059] An image acquisition unit may also be provided in the clothes processing drum, and the image acquisition unit may include but is not limited to a camera or a video camera, etc. The image acquisition unit is used to acquire images of wrinkles on the surface of the clothes.

[0060] Specifically, in the process of wrinkle removal care for clothes, the wrinkles on the surface of the clothes can be intermittently or continuously photographed based on the image acquisition unit to obtain multiple pictures representing the wrinkle state of the surface of the clothes. Then, the control system of the clothing processing equipment analyzes the multiple pictures to obtain the degree of reduction of wrinkles on the surface of the clothes.

[0061] In one example, the image acquisition unit may use the following method to obtain the degree of reduction of wrinkles on the surface of clothing:

[0062] First, after the user places the clothes in the clothes treatment drum, the control system controls the steam generating unit to control the steam generating unit to input a set amount of steam into the clothes in the clothes treatment drum, and then controls the clothes treatment drum to rotate at a set speed and a set drying time to perform a wrinkle removal test on the clothes. The set steam amount, set speed and set drying time can be flexibly set by the user, or can also be related values ​​pre-stored in the control system, which are not specifically limited here.

[0063] Then, during the wrinkle removal test process, the image acquisition unit is used to acquire a first image of wrinkles on the surface of the clothing in the clothing treatment drum within a first time. Then, a second image of wrinkles on the surface of the clothing in the clothing treatment drum is acquired within a second time. The second time is later than the first time. And the difference between the second time and the first time is a set value corresponding to the set steam volume, the set speed, and the set drying temperature. For example, the time consumed to spray the set steam volume onto the surface of the clothing can be obtained by using the set steam volume and the steam generation rate of the steam generation unit. Within this time, the values ​​of the first time and the second time are flexibly set, wherein the first time and the second time can be the same, or the second time can be slightly greater than the first time.

[0064] It should be noted that the first image and the second image may be used to characterize the distribution form of wrinkles on the surface of clothing or the texture form of wrinkles.

[0065] Then, the control system based on the clothing processing equipment determines the degree of reduction of wrinkles on the surface of the clothing based on the absolute value of the difference in similarity between the first image and the second image, that is, part of the wrinkles on the surface of the clothing are eliminated during the wrinkle removal test on the clothing.

[0066] The control system pre-stores a correspondence between a preset lightening degree and a wrinkle formation time. Finally, after the control system obtains the lightening degree of wrinkles on the surface of the clothing during the wrinkle removal test process, the wrinkle formation time corresponding to the lightening degree of wrinkles on the surface of the clothing during the wrinkle removal test process is determined according to the above correspondence. The greater the lightening degree, the greater the degree of wrinkle elimination of the surface wrinkles of the clothing in the same time, that is, the easier it is to eliminate the wrinkles, that is, the shorter the wrinkle formation time of the surface wrinkles of the clothing.

[0067] It should be noted that the control system of the clothing processing equipment can adopt the control system in the prior art, as long as the control system can control the various starting functions of the clothing processing equipment (such as a washer-dryer or a washer-dryer), and the specific structural type and specific control logic of the control system will not be repeated here.

[0068] A drying module is also provided in the clothes processing device, and the drying module comprises a drying air duct, a drying fan and a drying element.

[0069] The air outlet and air inlet of the drying duct are both connected to the interior of the laundry processing drum, and the drying fan and the drying element are both arranged in the drying duct. The drying element is configured to dehumidify and heat the hot and humid air drawn out from the laundry processing drum to form a drying airflow to achieve drying of the laundry.

[0070] The drying element can be directly fixed in the drying air duct, or fixed in the drying air duct by other fasteners such as screws, etc. The drying element can be arranged at a position close to the air outlet of the drying air duct.

[0071] The drying element may include but is not limited to an electric heating wire or a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient, positive temperature coefficient thermistor) heater or other elements capable of heating air.

[0072] Along the flow direction of the drying airflow, the drying fan can be arranged upstream of the drying element. Through the rotation of the drying fan, on the one hand, the hot and humid gas drawn out from the clothes processing drum can be guided to the drying element to form a drying airflow, and on the other hand, the drying airflow can be driven into the clothes processing drum to provide a suitable drying airflow for the clothes processing drum to meet the demand for drying airflow when the clothes processing drum is drying. Alternatively, in the process of air-drying the clothes, or cooling the clothes processing drum or the clothes at the end of the drying process, a suitable air volume is provided to meet the demand for air-drying the clothes and the demand for cooling the clothes processing drum.

[0073] The drying fan may be a fan in the prior art, such as an induced draft fan or an axial flow fan.

[0074] The clothes treatment device can run a clothes care program, wherein the clothes care program can be a process of removing wrinkles from clothes by steam. That is to say, a steam generating device is also provided in the clothes treatment device in this example.

[0075] The steam generating device can generate steam during the washing process, clothing care process, and drying process, and spray the steam evenly onto the clothing, thereby performing corresponding treatments on the clothing. The addition of steam can help improve the cleanliness of the clothing, and also has the effects of disinfection and deodorization. Moreover, during the clothing care process, the addition of steam can also help soften clothing fibers and eliminate wrinkles, thereby improving the clothing care effect.

[0076] In some embodiments, the steam generating device may include a steam generator and a steam delivery pipeline.

[0077] The steam generator may be arranged inside the clothing treatment device, or may be arranged outside the clothing treatment device. The steam generator may adopt the structure in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The rate of steam generation inside the steam generator may be fixed. Based on the steam generation rate and the amount of steam required by the clothing at each stage, the steam delivery time required for clothing of different materials to eliminate wrinkles formed at different times can be obtained. Then, the clothing can be treated accordingly according to the steam delivery time, for example, humidification, wrinkle removal, drying and humidification of the clothing can be performed.

[0078] The steam generator may be provided with an efficient heating element and a water circulation system to quickly generate high-temperature steam, and the output of the steam may be effectively controlled by a flow control valve or the like provided in the steam generator. It should be noted that the heating element may be a heating element in the prior art, which is not specifically limited here, and the heating element may be independently provided, or may be integrated into a dedicated system inside the clothing processing device.

[0079] The steam delivery pipeline includes an inlet and at least one outlet, and the inlet of the steam delivery pipeline is connected to the steam generator. The number of outlets of the steam delivery pipeline can be one or more. Regardless of the number of outlets of the steam delivery pipeline, each outlet is connected to the interior of the clothing treatment drum, wherein, when the steam delivery pipeline has multiple outlets, the multiple outlets are respectively connected to the interior of different positions of the clothing treatment drum to ensure that equal or unequal amounts of steam can be delivered to all directions in the clothing treatment drum at the same time, thereby meeting the needs of steam care, humidification or drying of clothing.

[0080] It should be noted that the steam delivery pipeline can be flexibly arranged inside the clothing processing device.

[0081] A special steam nozzle may be provided at the outlet of each steam delivery pipe, and the steam nozzle may be used to directly spray steam onto clothing, thereby ensuring that the steam can penetrate into the fibers of the clothing.

[0082] like Figure 1 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a care control method for a clothing processing device, which is applied to a clothing processing device, for example, a washer-dryer or a washer-dryer, to remove wrinkles from the clothing in the clothing processing drum. The care control method includes the following steps:

[0083] Step S100: Obtain clothing material and clothing weight.

[0084] Step S200: Determine the wrinkle formation time of the clothes.

[0085] Step S300: Determine the moisture content required for wrinkle removal care of the clothes based on the material of the clothes and the time when the wrinkles are formed.

[0086] Step S400: Determine steam care parameters for the clothes based on the weight and moisture content of the clothes to remove wrinkles from the clothes.

[0087] In step S100, the material of the clothing can be obtained by the following method:

[0088] When the clean clothes are wrinkled due to being placed, the user puts the clothes into the clothes treatment drum and selects the material of the clothes by himself.

[0089] Alternatively, when the clothes are dried and wrinkle removal is required, the smart sensor set in the clothes treatment drum is used to detect the material of the clothes. The smart sensor may include but is not limited to sensors related to electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity or sound wave reflection. Based on the above smart sensors, the clothes treatment device can autonomously identify the material of the clothes.

[0090] Alternatively, the material of clothing can be analyzed and inferred through water absorption rate or spectral technology. For example, during the washing, rinsing, dehydration or drying process, the total water absorption rate of clothing can be calculated by comparing the dry weight of clothing before absorbing water with the wet weight after absorbing water, so as to determine the material of clothing. The process of using spectral technology to determine the material of clothing is as follows: the control system analyzes the spectrum reflected or absorbed by clothing, which can accurately identify the composition and material of clothing.

[0091] Of course, other methods for judging the material of clothing can also be used. For example, an image acquisition unit can be used to use image recognition technology and deep learning algorithms to intelligently identify and judge clothing, thereby accurately determining the material of clothing.

[0092] The weight of the clothes can be obtained by a weight detection member provided in the clothes processing device, wherein the weight detection member may include but is not limited to a weight sensor. The weight sensor can be used to obtain the real-time weight of the clothes before washing, before rinsing, before dehydration or during dehydration, and before or during drying.

[0093] It should be noted that the real-time weight of the clothes in each processing stage can also be converted by the driving motor provided in the clothes processing device, and the driving motor is used to drive the clothes processing drum to rotate, that is, the weight of the clothes can be converted by the real-time power or rotation power consumption of the driving motor during the rotation process. Among them, the weight of the clothes can be converted by using the real-time power or rotation power consumption of the driving motor, etc., which will not be described in detail here. The driving motor can include but is not limited to a variable frequency motor, a servo motor, etc.

[0094] Alternatively, the weight of the clothing may be estimated by an energy loss method, for example, by estimating the weight of the clothing by the energy consumption of the driving click during the start-up and acceleration processes.

[0095] In step S200, the wrinkle formation time of the clothes can be selected by the user independently, or the clothes processing device can independently identify and determine the wrinkle formation time of the clothes.

[0096] Among them, when the wrinkles on the surface of clothing are formed for a short time, the wrinkles on the surface of clothing are mostly caused by hydrogen bonds formed by the hydroxyl functional groups (-OH), amino functional groups (-NH2) or carboxyl functional groups (-COOH) of the fiber molecular chains. However, as the wrinkle formation time increases and the distance between the fiber molecular chains is small enough, the hydrogen bonds formed inside the fiber molecules or between the molecules will be partially converted into chemical bonds, or the fiber molecular chains will form new chemical bonds. Compared with hydrogen bonds, the energy required to destroy chemical bonds is higher. Therefore, higher drying temperatures and mechanical forces (such as the speed of the drive motor) are required to break the above-mentioned chemical bonds and remove the wrinkles on the surface of clothing.

[0097] Therefore, the wrinkle formation time of clothes can be divided into multiple levels. For example, the wrinkle formation time of clothes can be divided into three levels, namely: wrinkle formation time is less than 1 day, wrinkle formation time is 1 day to 3 days, and wrinkle formation time is greater than 3 days.

[0098] It should be noted that the wrinkle formation time of clothes can also be divided into multiple levels other than the above three levels, such as two levels or four levels and above, so as to adjust the steam care parameters for subsequent wrinkle removal care of clothes by determining the wrinkle formation time.

[0099] In some embodiments, when the user places clothes in the clothes processing drum, he selects the wrinkle formation time corresponding to the clothes. That is to say, the user knows the time when wrinkles are formed in clothes of this material, and can select the corresponding wrinkle formation time through the touch screen or physical buttons set in the clothes processing device.

[0100] That is, when the user places the clothes in the clothes treatment drum, he / she may select one of the wrinkle formation time being less than 1 day, the wrinkle formation time being between 1 day and 3 days, and the wrinkle formation time being greater than 3 days.

[0101] On the other hand, the wrinkle formation time can also be determined by performing a wrinkle removal test on the clothes and according to the changes of wrinkles on the surface of the clothes during the wrinkle test.

[0102] First, after the user places the clothes in the clothes treatment drum, the control system controls the steam generating unit to control the steam generating unit to input a set amount of steam into the clothes in the clothes treatment drum, and then controls the clothes treatment drum to rotate at a set speed and a set drying time to perform a wrinkle removal test on the clothes. The set steam amount, set speed and set drying time can be flexibly set by the user, or can also be related values ​​pre-stored in the control system, which are not specifically limited here.

[0103] Then, during the wrinkle removal test process, the image acquisition unit is used to acquire a first image of wrinkles on the surface of the clothing in the clothing treatment drum within a first time. Then, a second image of wrinkles on the surface of the clothing in the clothing treatment drum is acquired within a second time. The second time is later than the first time. And the difference between the second time and the first time is a set value corresponding to the set steam volume, the set speed, and the set drying temperature. For example, the time consumed to spray the set steam volume onto the surface of the clothing can be obtained by using the set steam volume and the steam generation rate of the steam generation unit. Within this time, the values ​​of the first time and the second time are flexibly set, wherein the first time and the second time can be the same, or the second time can be slightly greater than the first time.

[0104] It should be noted that the first image and the second image may be used to characterize the distribution form of wrinkles on the surface of clothing or the texture form of wrinkles.

[0105] Then, the control system based on the clothing processing equipment determines the degree of reduction of wrinkles on the surface of the clothing based on the absolute value of the difference in similarity between the first image and the second image, that is, part of the wrinkles on the surface of the clothing are eliminated during the wrinkle removal test on the clothing.

[0106] The control system pre-stores a correspondence between a preset lightening degree and a wrinkle formation time. Finally, after the control system obtains the lightening degree of wrinkles on the surface of the clothing during the wrinkle removal test process, the wrinkle formation time corresponding to the lightening degree of wrinkles on the surface of the clothing during the wrinkle removal test process is determined according to the above correspondence. The greater the lightening degree, the greater the degree of wrinkle elimination on the surface of the clothing in the same time, that is, the easier the wrinkles are to eliminate, that is, the shorter the wrinkle formation time of the wrinkles on the surface of the clothing. By performing a wrinkle removal test on the clothing, it can be determined that the wrinkle formation time of the clothing is any one of less than 1 day, 1 to 3 days, and more than 3 days.

[0107] In step S300, after determining the material of the clothes and the wrinkle formation time, the preferred and reasonable moisture content required for wrinkle removal care of the clothes can be determined by the following Table 1.

[0108]

[0109] Table 1

[0110] In step S400, the control system determines steam care parameters for wrinkle removal of the clothes according to the weight and moisture content of the clothes, and finally, performs wrinkle removal care on the clothes according to the steam care parameters.

[0111] In this example, first, the clothing material and clothing weight of the clothing are obtained; then, the wrinkle formation time of the clothing is determined; then, based on the clothing material and wrinkle formation time, the reasonable moisture content required for wrinkle removal care of the clothing is determined; finally, based on the clothing weight and moisture content, reasonable steam care parameters for the clothing are determined to remove wrinkles from the clothing. Through the implementation of the above clothing care control method, the clothing care efficiency can be improved while effectively ensuring the clothing care effect, and the energy consumption of the clothing processing equipment can be reduced, thereby effectively improving the user experience of the clothing processing equipment.

[0112] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the clothing material of the clothing includes a first material, a second material and a third material. Among them, the clothing of the first material includes cotton and linen clothing; the clothing of the second material includes wool and silk clothing; and the clothing of the third material includes chemical fiber clothing.

[0113] Continuing to refer to the above Table 1, it can be known that as the wrinkle formation time on the surface of the clothes increases, the rotation speed and drying temperature of the clothes treatment drum gradually increase when the clothes are subjected to wrinkle removal care.

[0114] The drying temperature when performing wrinkle removal care on the first type of material is higher than the drying temperature when performing wrinkle removal care on the second type of material, and is also higher than the drying temperature when performing wrinkle removal care on the third type of material.

[0115] The rotation speed when performing wrinkle removal care on the second type of material is higher than the rotation speed when performing wrinkle removal care on the first type of material, and is also higher than the rotation speed when performing wrinkle removal care on the third type of material.

[0116] The moisture content required for wrinkle removal care of the third type of material is higher than the moisture content required for wrinkle removal care of the first type of material, and is also higher than the moisture content required for wrinkle removal care of the second type of material.

[0117] Among them, it should be noted that, compared with wool, silk or chemical fiber clothing, cotton and linen clothing has the highest content of hydroxyl functional groups (-OH) and is most likely to form wrinkles mainly in the form of hydrogen bonds. However, relative to clothing made of the second and third materials, wrinkles formed in the first type of clothing within the same period of time are also the easiest to remove. Therefore, the moisture content and the energy required for destroying the corresponding wrinkles in the first type of clothing are relatively lower than those in the other two types of clothing. However, since cotton and linen clothing is resistant to high temperatures and easy to absorb water, in order to ensure that the wrinkles of the above-mentioned types of clothing can be removed in roughly the same steam care process, the drying temperature for wrinkle removal care of cotton and linen clothing can be higher than the drying temperature for wrinkle removal care of clothing made of the second and third materials.

[0118] However, wool and silk clothes are not resistant to high temperatures, so the drying temperature required for steam care of clothes made of these materials cannot be too high. In order to ensure that the wrinkles of clothes of the above-mentioned materials can be removed during roughly the same steam care process, the rotation speed of the clothes processing drum for wrinkle removal care of wool and silk clothes can be higher than the rotation speed of the clothes processing drum for wrinkle removal care of clothes of the first and third materials.

[0119] Chemical fiber clothing is not easy to absorb water, so the moisture content required for steam care of this type of clothing can be increased. In order to ensure that the wrinkles of the above-mentioned types of clothing can be removed during roughly the same steam care process, the moisture content of chemical fiber clothing during wrinkle removal care can be higher than the moisture content of the first and second types of clothing during wrinkle removal care.

[0120] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the steam care parameters include the steam spray amount.

[0121] Among them, after determining a reasonable moisture content according to the weight of the clothes and the wrinkle removal care of the clothes, the steam spraying amount of the clothes in the steam care stage is determined after analysis and calculation by the control system.

[0122] Then, the control system controls the clothes treatment device to perform wrinkle removal care on the clothes according to the determined steam spraying amount. As the wrinkle formation time increases, the steam spraying amount required for wrinkle removal care on the clothes also increases.

[0123] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the care control method of the clothing processing device also includes the following method:

[0124] The care running time of the wrinkle removal care is determined according to the steam spraying amount and the steam generation rate. The steam generation rate is the steam generation rate of the steam generating unit, ie, the steam generator, in the clothes treatment device.

[0125] The treatment run time is determined by dividing the steam spray volume by the steam generation rate. The greater the wrinkle formation time, the longer the treatment run time.

[0126] In this example, the steam spraying amount for wrinkle removal care of clothes is determined by the clothes weight and the reasonable moisture content during wrinkle removal care, and then the care running time for wrinkle removal care of clothes is determined based on the steam spraying amount and the steam generation parameters of the steam generating unit (such as the steam generation amount and the steam generation rate). Thus, the steam spraying amount and the corresponding steam care running time (i.e., the care running time) of clothes during wrinkle removal care can be reasonably controlled according to the different characteristics of the clothes to be cared for (such as the clothes material or the clothes weight). Through the implementation of the above-mentioned clothes care control method, the clothes care efficiency can be improved and the energy consumption of the clothes processing equipment can be reduced while effectively ensuring the clothes care effect, thereby effectively improving the user experience of the clothes processing equipment.

[0127] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, which includes a processor (not shown in the figure) and a memory (not shown in the figure) connected to the processor. The memory is used to store one or more computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions can be called by the processor and execute the care control method of the clothing processing device in the above embodiment.

[0128] The processor may be a central processing unit (CPU), other general-purpose processors, digital signal processors (DSP), application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gates or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. The general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor or any conventional processor, etc. The processor is the control center of the clothing processing device, and uses various interfaces and lines to connect various parts of the entire clothing processing device.

[0129] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a clothes treating device, which is controlled by the clothes treating device care control method of any of the above embodiments, or has an electronic device as described in the above embodiments.

[0130] In the above example, when the clothing treatment device is performing wrinkle removal care on clothing, first, the clothing material and clothing weight of the clothing are obtained; then, the wrinkle formation time of the clothing is determined; then, based on the clothing material and wrinkle formation time, the reasonable moisture content required for the clothing to perform wrinkle removal care is determined; finally, based on the clothing weight and moisture content, reasonable steam care parameters for the clothing are determined to perform wrinkle removal care on the clothing. Through the implementation of the above clothing care control method, the clothing care efficiency can be improved while effectively ensuring the clothing care effect, and the energy consumption of the clothing treatment device can be reduced, thereby effectively improving the user experience of the clothing treatment device.
