Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing equipment, and more specifically, to a clothing care method, electronic equipment, and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing garment processing equipment with care functions generally employs a garment care mode to achieve deodorization and wrinkle removal. This mode uses high-temperature steam to treat the garments, allowing the steam to penetrate the fabric fibers, leaving the clothes soft, comfortable, smooth, and achieving the goals of wrinkle removal, dust removal, and deodorization. However, in this care mode, the garments rotating inside the drum cannot fully contact the steam, resulting in some garments or specific areas being unable to be penetrated by the high-temperature steam, thus affecting the effectiveness of wrinkle removal, dust removal, and deodorization. Summary of the Invention

[0047] According to a second aspect of the present application, an electronic device is provided, including a memory and a controller, wherein the memory is used to store a computer program; and the controller is used to execute the computer program to implement the steps of the clothing care method described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0049] According to a fourth aspect of the embodiments of this application, a garment processing device is provided, the garment processing device including an inner drum and an outer drum; the garment processing device is provided with a steam supply device, the steam supply device including a steam generator and a steam supply pipe for providing humidifying airflow to the inner drum; the outer drum is provided with an air inlet communicating with the inner drum and an air outlet communicating with the outer drum, a drying duct is provided between the air inlet and the air outlet, the drying duct is provided with a drying component and a main fan; the steam supply pipe is connected to the drying duct, and the steam... A steam valve is installed on the supply pipe; an auxiliary fan that can swing is installed at the air inlet; the garment care program includes a drying care program and a humidifying care program; during the humidifying care stage, the auxiliary fan is controlled to blow the humidifying airflow provided by the steam supply device into the inner drum through the air inlet to humidify the garments in the inner drum; during the drying care stage, the auxiliary fan, in conjunction with the main fan, is controlled to blow the drying airflow from the drying duct into the inner drum through the air inlet to dry the garments in the inner drum;

[0053] Through the above technical solution, an auxiliary fan with a swing function is provided at the air inlet. When the auxiliary fan is activated, the angle and / or velocity of the airflow blowing from the air inlet to the inner drum can be adjusted by the auxiliary fan. Furthermore, during the humidification care stage, by controlling the angle and / or velocity of the airflow from the air inlet to the inner drum based on the load information of the clothing, the direction and velocity of the humidifying airflow in the inner drum can be changed according to the condition of the clothing. This allows the humidifying airflow in the inner drum to contact clothing in different conditions more evenly, achieving full contact between the clothing and the humidifying airflow, ensuring that the clothing is more evenly penetrated by the humidifying airflow, and guaranteeing the wrinkle removal, dust removal, and odor removal effects of the clothing care mode. Based on the swing function of the auxiliary fan, further control of the airflow angle ensures that even if the position of the auxiliary fan relative to the inner drum changes, the direction of the airflow blown by the auxiliary fan will still have the same effect relative to the inner drum. This ensures that the direction and velocity of the humidifying airflow in the inner drum can be changed according to the type or material of the clothing, making the humidifying airflow in the inner drum circulate more evenly.

[0060] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0061] It should be understood that "multiple" as mentioned herein refers to two or more. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this document is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. In addition, to facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used in the embodiments of this application to distinguish identical or similar items with substantially the same function and effect. Those skilled in the art will understand that the terms "first," "second," etc., do not limit the quantity or execution order, and the terms "first," "second," etc., do not necessarily imply that they are different.

[0062] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0063] In existing garment care devices with care functions, the clothes cannot fully contact the humidifying airflow in the care mode, resulting in some clothes or certain areas of the clothes not being able to be penetrated by the high-temperature humidifying airflow, affecting the effectiveness of wrinkle removal, dust removal, and deodorization. This application provides a garment care method that optimizes the removal of moisture from the drying airflow without affecting the original structure of the garment care device, thereby achieving full contact between the clothes and the humidifying airflow. Specifically, this application uses an oscillating auxiliary fan 1 at the air inlet, controlling the angle and / or velocity and / or flow rate of the airflow blown by the auxiliary fan 1 from the air inlet to the inner drum 2. This makes the humidifying airflow in the inner drum 2 more uniform, making it easier for the humidifying airflow to contact the clothes, and ensuring more even penetration of the clothes, thus guaranteeing the effectiveness of wrinkle removal, dust removal, and deodorization in the garment care mode.

[0064] According to a first aspect of the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a garment care method is provided for a garment processing device with a garment care program. The garment processing device includes an inner drum 2 and an outer drum 3. The garment processing device is equipped with a steam supply device 5, and the outer drum 3 is equipped with an air inlet. The garment care program includes humidification care. During the humidification care stage, the steam supply device 5 blows humidifying airflow into the inner drum 2 through the air inlet to humidify the garments in the inner drum 2. An auxiliary fan 1 that can swing is provided at the air inlet. The garment care method includes:

[0065] Step S100: During the humidification care stage, based on the load information of the clothing, the auxiliary fan 1 is dynamically controlled to blow humidifying airflow into the inner cylinder 2 from the air inlet.

[0066] Preferably, the dynamic control of the auxiliary fan 1 blowing humidifying airflow into the inner cylinder 2 from the air inlet may include the airflow angle and / or flow rate and / or flow rate of the humidifying airflow.

[0067] Preferably, the load information of the clothing includes the attribute information and dynamic information of the clothing. The attribute information includes the type information of the clothing and / or the material information of the clothing and / or the weight information of the clothing and / or the volume information of the clothing and / or the fabric density information of the clothing. The state information of the clothing includes the current moisture content information of the clothing and / or the motion pattern information of the clothing as it rotates with the inner drum.

[0068] Preferably, the air inlet of the outer cylinder 3 is located on the cylinder opening sealing ring that seals with the door panel.

[0069] Preferably, the airflow angle blowing towards the inner cylinder 2 can be achieved by adjusting the swing angle of the auxiliary fan 1 axis relative to the initial axis position, the airflow speed or airflow flow rate blowing towards the inner cylinder 2 can be achieved by adjusting the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan 1, and the airflow flow rate blowing towards the inner cylinder 2 can be achieved by adjusting the start-up time of the auxiliary fan 1 or the gas supply time of the steam supply device.

[0070] Through the above technical solution, an auxiliary fan 1 that can swing is provided at the air inlet. When the auxiliary fan 1 is started, the angle and / or velocity and / or flow rate of the airflow blown from the air inlet to the inner drum 2 can be adjusted by the auxiliary fan 1. Furthermore, during the humidification care stage, when the angle and / or velocity and / or flow rate of the airflow blown from the air inlet to the inner drum 2 by the auxiliary fan 1 are controlled according to the load information of the clothes, the direction, velocity, and flow rate of the humidifying airflow in the inner drum 2 can be changed according to the state of the clothes. The humidifying airflow in the inner drum 2 can contact clothes in different states more evenly, achieving full contact between the clothes and the humidifying airflow, ensuring that the clothes can be penetrated more evenly by the humidifying airflow, ensuring the effect of wrinkle removal, dust removal, and deodorization of clothes in the clothes care mode, and ensuring that the direction and velocity of the humidifying airflow in the inner drum 2 can be changed according to the type or material of the clothes, so that the humidifying airflow in the inner drum 2 can circulate more evenly.

[0071] In the first embodiment, the load information may include the attribute information of the clothing. Controlling the airflow angle and / or velocity and / or flow rate of the auxiliary fan 1 from the air inlet to the inner drum 2 based on the clothing load information may include: controlling the airflow angle and / or velocity and / or flow rate of the auxiliary fan 1 from the air inlet to the inner drum 2 based on the clothing attribute information. The clothing attribute information represents the clothing itself, such as the material of the clothing. Different types of clothing have different steam absorption capacities. Based on the clothing's own information, the auxiliary fan 1 can be controlled to ensure that the humidifying airflow is more evenly distributed on the surface of the clothing, avoiding localized overheating or insufficient steam, thereby ensuring that the clothing receives good overall care.

[0072] The attribute information of the clothing may further include the material information and / or weight information and / or volume information and / or fabric density information of the clothing, etc.; based on the attribute information of the clothing, the process of controlling the airflow angle and / or flow rate and / or flow rate of the auxiliary fan 1 blowing from the air inlet to the inner cylinder 2 may include: the better the water absorption of the clothing material type, the higher the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan 1 can be controlled, and the greater the downward airflow angle of the auxiliary fan 1 can be controlled; and / or, the greater the weight of the clothing and / or the larger the volume of the clothing and / or the greater the fabric density of the clothing, the higher the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan 1 can be controlled, and the greater the downward airflow angle of the auxiliary fan 1 can be controlled.

[0073] The better the absorbency of the clothes, the easier it is for the clothes to absorb steam. At this time, the speed of the auxiliary fan 1 can be increased. When the speed of the auxiliary fan 1 is increased, the airflow speed and flow rate can be increased at the same time. This will cause the humidifying airflow in the inner drum 2 to contact the clothes more quickly and evenly, so that the clothes can fully absorb steam.

[0074] The greater the weight and / or volume of the clothing and / or the higher the fabric density, the higher the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan 1 can be, and the greater the downward airflow angle of the auxiliary fan 1 can be. The greater the weight and / or volume and / or fabric density of the clothing, the more concentrated the movement of the clothing within the inner drum 2 will be at the bottom of the inner drum 2. In this case, the downward airflow angle of the auxiliary fan 1 can be greater, and the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan 1 can be faster. This causes the humidifying airflow to be directed further towards the bottom of the inner drum 2, allowing the clothing to fully contact the humidifying airflow. Furthermore, when the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan 1 increases, both the airflow speed and flow rate can be increased simultaneously. Even with higher airflow speed and flow rate, the movement of the clothing within the inner drum 2 will not be affected when the clothing is heavy and / or bulky and / or dense.

[0075] Conversely, the lighter the weight and / or smaller the volume and / or lower the fabric density of the clothing, the lower the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan 1 can be controlled, and the smaller the downward airflow angle of the auxiliary fan 1 can be controlled. Lighter weight and / or smaller volume and / or lower fabric density of the clothing indicates a larger range of movement within the inner drum 2, causing the clothing to tumble. In this case, the downward airflow angle of the auxiliary fan 1 can be smaller, and the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan 1 can be lower. This allows the humidifying airflow to be directed towards the upper part of the inner drum 2, ensuring that the clothing, even when tumbling within the inner drum 2, can fully contact the humidifying airflow. Furthermore, when the weight and / or volume and / or fabric density of the clothing are small, higher airflow speed and flow rate can affect the movement of the clothing within the inner drum 2. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to control the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan 1 to reduce the humidifying airflow and prevent it from affecting the movement of the clothing within the inner drum 2.

[0076] Specifically, when the clothing is made of cotton or linen, the auxiliary fan is controlled to blow humidifying air into the inner cylinder 2 at an angle greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 30°, and the airflow velocity is greater than or equal to 50 m / s and less than or equal to 70 m / s; and / or,

[0077] When the clothing is made of synthetic fibers, the auxiliary fan should blow humidifying air into the inner cylinder 2 at an angle greater than or equal to 15° and less than or equal to 25°, and the airflow velocity should be greater than or equal to 40m / s and less than or equal to 55m / s; and / or,

[0078] When the garment is made of wool, the auxiliary fan should blow humidifying air into the inner cylinder 2 at an angle greater than or equal to -90° and less than or equal to -70°, and the airflow velocity should be greater than or equal to 55m / s and less than or equal to 70m / s; and / or,

[0079] When the garment is made of silk, the auxiliary fan blows humidifying air into the inner cylinder 2 at an angle greater than or equal to 35° and less than or equal to 50°, and the airflow velocity is greater than or equal to 16 m / s and less than or equal to 30 m / s; and / or,

[0080] When the garment is a shirt, the auxiliary fan blows humidifying airflow into the inner cylinder 2 at an angle greater than or equal to 45° and less than or equal to 50°, and the airflow velocity is greater than or equal to 20m / s and less than or equal to 25m / s; and / or,

[0081] When the clothing is made of suit material, the airflow angle of the auxiliary fan blowing humidifying air into the inner cylinder 2 is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 0°, and the airflow speed is greater than or equal to 60m / s and less than or equal to 70m / s.

[0082] Specifically, the initial position of the auxiliary fan's axis is defined as the 0° position. When the auxiliary fan rotates clockwise from the 0° position, the angle by which its axis rotates relative to the 0° position is considered a positive airflow angle. When the auxiliary fan rotates counterclockwise from the 0° position, the angle by which its axis rotates relative to the 0° position is considered a negative airflow angle. Preferably, considering the distribution characteristics of the tubular clothing, the absolute direction of the auxiliary fan's initial axis is generally a downward sloping direction.

[0083] In this application, no restrictions are placed on the materials and types of clothing involved. In addition to the materials and types mentioned above, clothing may also have other types and materials. Correspondingly, when the material or type of clothing changes, the airflow angle and / or flow rate and / or flow rate blown from the air inlet to the inner cylinder 2 can be adjusted adaptively according to the material or type of clothing.

[0084] The auxiliary fan 1 is located on the right side of the inner cylinder 2 in the horizontal radial direction and is positioned as follows: Figure 2 For reference, in Figure 2 In the middle, the fan is in the installation position. Silk fabric has a low density and poor water absorption; a high airflow velocity would affect its movement within the inner drum 2. During the care stage, the silk garments are moved by the lifting ribs within the inner drum 2, allowing the silk garments to occupy the entire inner drum 2 within their movable range. The airflow angle is greater than or equal to 35° and less than or equal to 50°, and the airflow velocity is greater than or equal to 16m / s and less than or equal to 30m / s. This avoids the high flow velocity affecting the movement of the silk garments within the inner drum 2, and the humidifying airflow is directed towards the top of the inner drum 2, ensuring that the steam covers the movable range of the silk garments.

[0085] Cotton and linen clothing has good water absorption and a high density. During the care process, cotton and linen clothing has a smaller range of movement than silk clothing. With a speed greater than or equal to 50m / s and less than or equal to 70m / s, the humidifying airflow will flow closer to the bottom of the inner drum 2, i.e., closer to the cotton and linen clothing. Furthermore, cotton and linen clothing is relatively heavy, so increasing the airflow speed and volume will not affect the movement of the clothing within the inner drum 2. Therefore, the auxiliary fan 1 can operate at a slightly higher speed to accelerate the contact between the humidifying airflow and the clothing within the inner drum 2, resulting in better care effects.

[0086] Wool has good water absorption but is easily deformed. Therefore, during the care process, the inner drum 2 rotates at a relatively low speed, resulting in wool garments having a smaller range of movement compared to cotton and linen garments. At this point, the airflow angle of the humidifying airflow is greater than or equal to -90° and less than or equal to -70°, and the airflow velocity is greater than or equal to 55m / s and less than or equal to 70m / s. Because wool garments have a smaller range of movement during the care process, they are generally located at the bottom of the inner drum 2, causing the humidifying airflow to be directed towards the bottom of the inner drum 2. Simultaneously, wool garments have a high density and are relatively heavy, so increasing the airflow velocity and flow rate will not affect the movement of the wool garments within the inner drum 2. Therefore, the auxiliary fan 1 can rotate at a slightly higher speed to accelerate the contact between the humidifying airflow and the garments within the inner drum 2, resulting in better care. The aforementioned adjustment of the fan to regulate the direction of the humidifying airflow can be achieved by adjusting the fan's position and orientation. That is, the fan is not fixed in the garment processing equipment but is adjustable, allowing it to adjust its position and orientation according to the required airflow direction.

[0087] In the second embodiment, the load information of the clothing may include the state information of the clothing. Controlling the airflow angle and / or velocity and / or flow rate of the auxiliary fan 1 from the air inlet to the inner drum 2 based on the clothing load information may include: controlling the airflow angle and / or velocity and / or flow rate of the auxiliary fan 1 from the air inlet to the inner drum 2 based on the clothing state information; wherein, the clothing state information includes the moisture content information of the clothing and / or the movement pattern of the clothing within the drum. The clothing state information represents the information of the clothing in the inner drum 2, such as the moisture content of the clothing. Different types of clothing have different steam absorption capacities. Based on the information of the clothing in the inner drum 2, the auxiliary fan 1 can be controlled to ensure that the humidifying airflow is more evenly distributed on the surface of the clothing, avoiding localized overheating or insufficient steam, thereby ensuring that the clothing receives good overall care.

[0088] Based on the status information of the clothing, the process of controlling the airflow angle and / or flow rate and / or flow rate of the auxiliary fan 1 from the air inlet to the inner cylinder 2 may include: the higher the moisture content of the clothing to be treated, the greater the downward airflow angle of the auxiliary fan 1 can be controlled, and the greater the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan 1 can be controlled.

[0089] Furthermore, the status information of the clothing also includes the motion pattern information of the clothing as it rotates with the inner drum. When the clothing is in a state of being attached to the wall or wrapped up in the inner drum 2, the speed of the auxiliary fan 1 is increased and the auxiliary fan 1 is directed towards the part of the clothing that is in a state of being attached to the wall or wrapped up.

[0090] The higher the moisture content of the clothes to be treated, the heavier the clothes will be. The range of movement of the clothes in the inner drum 2 will be concentrated at the bottom of the inner drum 2. At this time, the downward airflow angle of the auxiliary fan 1 can be larger and the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan 1 can be faster. This way, the humidifying airflow will be more directed towards the bottom of the inner drum 2, so that the clothes can fully contact the humidifying airflow. In addition, when the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan 1 is increased, the airflow speed and flow rate can be increased at the same time. When the moisture content of the clothes is high, even if the airflow speed and flow rate are high, it will not affect the movement of the clothes in the inner drum 2.

[0091] When the clothes are in a state of being stuck to the wall or tangled in the inner drum 2, it means that the clothes are relatively concentrated and it is difficult for them to unfold and fully contact the steam. At this time, the speed of the auxiliary fan 1 can be increased and the auxiliary fan 1 can be directed towards the part of the clothes that are stuck to the wall or tangled. In this way, the humidifying airflow will be more concentrated towards the clothes, so that the clothes can fully contact the steam in the unfurled state, ensuring the care effect on the clothes. Furthermore, when the speed of the auxiliary fan 1 is increased, the airflow speed and flow rate can be increased at the same time. Even if the airflow speed and flow rate are high when the clothes are stuck to the wall or tangled, it will not affect the movement of the clothes in the inner drum 2.

[0092] The garment care program can include a drying care stage, with a humidification care stage preceding and / or during and / or after the drying care stage, ensuring the garment's moisture content remains within the preset range for each stage. This allows the garment care process to be integrated with the drying stage, further enhancing the usability of the garment processing equipment. Furthermore, maintaining the garment's moisture content within the preset range prevents it from becoming too damp or too dry, and avoids damage from high-temperature steam caused by excessively long humidification care stages.

[0093] Furthermore, if the humidification stage precedes the drying stage, and the drying stage follows the humidification stage, the garment care method further includes:

[0094] When the moisture content of the garment in the humidification care stage is detected to have reached the set moisture content, the garment processing equipment is controlled to enter the drying care stage.

[0095] During the drying and care stage, the steam supply device is stopped, and the auxiliary fan is controlled to work in conjunction with the main fan of the drying duct to blow drying airflow into the inner drum to dry and care for the clothes inside.

[0096] Furthermore, when the humidification stage precedes the drying stage, if the garment is made of cotton or linen and its moisture content is greater than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to 26%, the garment processing equipment terminates the humidification stage and proceeds to the drying stage. If the garment is made of synthetic fibers and its moisture content is greater than or equal to 20% and less than or equal to 28%, the garment processing equipment terminates the humidification stage and proceeds to the drying stage. If the garment is made of wool and its moisture content is greater than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to 21%, the garment processing equipment terminates the humidification stage and proceeds to the drying stage. If the garment is made of silk and its moisture content is greater than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to 35%, the garment processing equipment terminates the humidification stage and proceeds to the drying stage. If the garment is a shirt type and its moisture content is greater than or equal to 15% and less than or equal to 23%, the garment processing equipment terminates the humidification stage and proceeds to the drying stage. When the garment is made of suit material, and the moisture content is greater than or equal to 5% and less than or equal to 6%, the garment processing equipment terminates the humidification stage and executes the drying stage. When the garment is made of mink fur, and the moisture content is greater than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to 15%, the garment processing equipment terminates the humidification stage and executes the drying stage. The aforementioned moisture content is adaptively designed based on the characteristics of the garment's material or type. When the moisture content is too high, it indicates that the garment contains too much moisture and is too damp, requiring the humidification stage to be stopped. In this application, the aforementioned method of obtaining the garment's moisture content can be performed multiple times to ensure the accuracy of the obtained moisture content. For example, when obtaining the garment's moisture content, it can be selected to measure the garment's moisture content once per second within a certain time period, such as 5 seconds, obtaining five moisture content measurements. The average of the five moisture content measurements can then be taken as the garment's moisture content, ensuring the accuracy of the moisture content measurement.

[0097] In some embodiments, the steam supply device may include a steam generator 5 and a steam delivery pipe 4, and more preferably, a steam valve is provided on the steam pipe to control the connection between the steam and the air inlet (not shown in the figure); the air inlet of the outer cylinder 3 is connected to the air outlet of the steam delivery pipe 4; the clothing processing equipment is provided with a drying air duct, the drying air duct is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet separately, as well as a drying air duct connecting the air inlet and the air outlet of the drying air duct, a main fan and a drying component (such as a two-phase component or a heater, etc., not shown in the figure) provided on the drying air duct, so that in the humidification care stage, only the auxiliary fan 1 is controlled to operate; in the drying care stage, only the main fan is controlled to operate or the auxiliary fan is controlled to cooperate with the main fan to blow the drying airflow; at this time, the steam generator is controlled to operate according to the state of the clothing, such as when the moisture content of the clothing after drying for a preset time is lower than the preset moisture content, the auxiliary fan can be controlled to operate to strengthen the disturbance of the airflow in the inner cylinder, or when the movement pattern of the clothing is detected to be wall-hugging or rolling and tangling, the auxiliary fan can be controlled to operate to strengthen the disturbance of the airflow in the inner cylinder. During the humidification and care phase, generally only the auxiliary fan 1 is controlled to operate the casing. To ensure that the drying airflow and the steam care airflow do not conflict, they can be controlled separately, either operating independently or in tandem as needed.

[0098] In other embodiments, the steam delivery pipe 4 is optionally connected to the drying duct via a steam valve, and the air inlet is connected to the air outlet of the drying duct. This allows the air inlet to introduce both humidifying and drying airflow. Thus, the humidifying and drying stages share a single air inlet, ensuring the drying airflow can connect to the inner drum 2 while reducing the space occupied by the garment processing equipment. During the drying stage, the main fan is controlled to operate independently, or the auxiliary fan 1 is controlled to assist the main fan based on the garment's processing status while the main fan is running. The auxiliary fan 1 further adjusts the direction, velocity, and flow rate of the drying airflow, ensuring more even distribution of the drying airflow within the inner drum 2 and guaranteeing effective drying of the garments. During the humidifying stage, the auxiliary fan 1 is controlled to operate independently, or both the main fan and auxiliary fan 1 are controlled to operate together, allowing the humidified steam to be carried into the inner drum 2 by the drying airflow, thus ensuring sufficient velocity and flow rate for the humidifying airflow.

[0099] Preferably, the steam valve can be controlled to adjust its opening degree according to the condition information of the clothes when the garment processing equipment is running the humidification care stage or the drying care stage.

[0105] An auxiliary fan 1 that can swing is provided at the air inlet;

[0106] The garment care program includes a drying program and a humidifying program;

[0107] During the humidification care phase, the auxiliary fan 1 controls the humidifying airflow provided by the steam supply device 5 to blow into the inner drum 2 through the air inlet to humidify and care for the clothes in the inner drum 2.

[0108] During the drying and care phase, the auxiliary fan 1, in conjunction with the main fan, blows the drying airflow from the air inlet into the inner drum 2 to dry and care for the clothes in the inner drum 2.

[0109] During the humidification and drying stages, the auxiliary fan 1 can be controlled to dynamically adjust the airflow angle and / or airflow speed into the inner drum 2 based on the load information of the clothes.

[0110] Preferably, the steam valve can be controlled to adjust its opening degree according to the condition information of the garment during the humidification or drying treatment phase of the garment processing equipment.

[0111] The garment processing device of this embodiment is used to perform any of the garment care methods described above, or may also include electronic devices as described above, and has all the beneficial effects of the garment care methods described above, which will not be repeated here.
