[0047] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios. For example, although this embodiment is described in conjunction with a washing and drying machine, it is obvious that it can also be applied to other clothing processing equipment with a sterilization function.

[0048] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, the terms "inside", "outside", etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0049] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0050] In order to solve the technical problem that the existing technical means of high-temperature sterilization and ozone sterilization have a relatively single sterilization control method, resulting in unpredictable damage to clothes during high-temperature sterilization or ozone sterilization, thereby significantly reducing the service life of clothes.

[0051] In the present application, the washer-dryer 1 includes a clothing treatment drum 12 and a sterilization module 16. The sterilization module 16 is arranged inside the clothing treatment drum 12. In the specific implementation of the present invention, the sterilization module 16 is an ozone generating device, so that the control module 11 controls the speed at which the ozone generating device generates ozone, and then controls the ozone concentration inside the clothing treatment drum 12, thereby achieving the sterilization of clothing. At the same time, when the washer-dryer 1 sterilizes the clothing inside the clothing treatment drum 12 through the ozone generating device, part of the ozone can also enter the drying duct of the washer-dryer device, sterilize the drying duct and other components such as the fan and heating device installed inside the drying duct, thereby avoiding the problem that the bacteria existing inside the drying duct enter the clothing treatment drum 12 along with the flow of gas inside the washer-dryer 1, causing the bacteria to attach to the clothing again and resulting in incomplete sterilization of the clothing.

[0052] In the present application, the washer-dryer 1 also includes a clothing feature detection module 14 and a bacteria detection module 15. The clothing feature detection module 14 is installed inside the clothing treatment drum 12, and is used to detect clothing features of clothing inside the clothing treatment drum 12. Specifically, as an implementation of the above-mentioned washer-dryer 1 provided in this embodiment, the clothing feature detection module 14 is a clothing material type detector, and the clothing material type is directly determined by the clothing material type detector. For example, the existing clothing material type detector includes various clothing material detection instruments based on spectroscopy, infrared thermal imaging and computer vision technology for detecting clothing material and / or clothing color. The bacteria detection module is used to determine the type of bacteria carried by clothing. Specifically, the bacteria detection module and types include various bacteria detection instruments based on mass spectrometry, chromatography, and spectral analysis technology. Specifically, as an implementation of the above-mentioned washer-dryer provided in this embodiment, the bacteria detector can detect the type of bacteria on clothing and the number of bacteria carried by clothing.

[0053] In the present application, the washer-dryer 1 also includes a gravity detection device, which is configured to detect the gravity change of the clothing processing drum 12, so as to be able to detect the dry clothes weight and the wet clothes weight of the clothing, thereby enabling the clothing processing device to obtain the current moisture content of the clothing inside the clothing processing drum 12 based on the dry clothes weight and the wet clothes weight measured by the gravity detection device.

[0054] In the present application, the washer-dryer 1 further includes an ozone concentration detection device 17 , which is disposed inside the clothing treatment drum 12 and is used to detect the ozone concentration inside the clothing treatment drum 12 .

[0055] In the present application, the washer-dryer 1 also includes a humidity control module 18, which is arranged inside the clothing processing drum 12 and is constructed to be able to adjust the moisture content of the dehydrated clothing. Specifically, the humidity control module 18 is a spray device. When the washer-dryer 1 sterilizes the dehydrated clothing through ozone, the clothing circulates with the air inside the clothing processing drum 12, and the moisture inside the clothing may be carried away by the air, thereby causing the moisture content of the clothing to be reduced. At this time, the spray device can be used to spray water mist onto the clothing inside the clothing processing drum 12 to keep the moisture content of the clothing within the target range. It should be noted that the specific installation method and structure of the spray device will not be repeated here, as long as the humidity of the clothing can be increased by the spray device.

[0056] In the present application, the washer-dryer 1 further includes a control panel 13, which displays functions and operating functions. For example, the display screen of the control panel 13 is a touch screen or a display screen with operating buttons.

[0057] In the present application, the washer-dryer 1 also includes a control module 11, which is respectively connected to a sterilization module 16, a clothing feature detection module 14, a gravity detection device, an ozone concentration detection device 17, a humidity control module 18, and a bacteria detection module 15, so that the control module 11 can determine a sterilization scheme based on clothing features and bacteria conditions, so that the control module 11 can control the rotation of the sterilization module 16, the humidity control module 18, and the clothing treatment drum 12 according to the sterilization scheme to achieve clothing sterilization. It should be noted that the control module 11 can be a control chip of the washer-dryer 1 itself, or a controller specifically used to execute the control method of the present application, or a functional module or functional unit of the controller.

[0058] Below, refer to Figures 1 to 10 To illustrate possible implementations of the control method of the clothes processing device of the present invention.

[0059] Figure 1 It is a general flow chart of a sterilization control method of an embodiment of a washer-dryer of the present invention. Figure 2 It is a control flow chart for determining a sterilization scheme for an embodiment of the washer-dryer of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a control flow chart of an embodiment of the washer-dryer of the present invention, which determines a sterilization plan based on clothing characteristics and bacterial conditions.

Figure 5 This is a control flow chart of an embodiment of the washer-dryer of the present invention for adjusting the current moisture content and ozone concentration of clothes based on the characteristics of the clothes and the bacterial conditions. Figure 6This is another control flow chart for adjusting ozone concentration in an embodiment of the washer-dryer of the present invention. Figure 7 It is a control flow chart of a sterilization scheme displayed on a control panel of an embodiment of a washer-dryer of the present invention. Figure 8 It is a control flow chart for prioritizing multiple sterilization schemes in an embodiment of the washer-dryer of the present invention. Fig. 9 It is a control flow chart of a selected sterilization scheme for an embodiment of the washer-dryer of the present invention. Fig.10 It is a structural block diagram of an embodiment of the washer-dryer of the present invention.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the sterilization control method of the washer-dryer 1 of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0061] S101: Acquiring clothing characteristics of clothing in the clothing treatment drum 12 and conditions of bacteria carried by the clothing;

[0062] S102: Determine the sterilization plan based on clothing characteristics and bacterial conditions;

[0063] S103: Control the sterilization module 16 to sterilize the clothes according to the sterilization scheme.

[0064] In S101, when clothes are put into the washer-dryer 1, the clothes feature detection module detects the material of the clothes, and then the clothes feature detection module 14 sends the detected material information of the clothes to the control module 11. Specifically, the detected material information of the clothes includes clothes mainly made of cotton, silk, linen or synthetic fibers. At the same time or afterwards, the bacteria detection module 15 detects the bacteria on the clothes, and sends the information of the detected bacteria on the clothes to the control module 11. Specifically, the detected bacteria information includes the number of bacteria.

[0065] In S102, during the specific implementation of the present invention, if the clothing feature detection module 14 detects that the clothing materials put into the clothing processing drum 12 are of various types, resulting in the clothing being sterilized by the same sterilization scheme with greatly different degrees of damage, the control module 11 sends a prompt message through the control panel 13 that the clothing material does not meet the requirements or sends a voice prompt message through the voice prompt device provided on the control panel 13 that the clothing material does not meet the requirements. For example, when the clothes include clothes mainly made of cotton, clothes mainly made of silk or clothes mainly made of wool, the tolerance of cotton, silk and wool to ozone is different, among which cotton has better tolerance to ozone, while silk and wool have poorer tolerance to ozone. Therefore, when the clothes are mixed with clothes mainly made of cotton, clothes mainly made of silk and / or clothes mainly made of wool, the user needs to take out the clothes mainly made of cotton or clothes mainly made of silk from the clothes treatment drum 12. When the washing and drying machine 1 of the present invention sterilizes the clothes, it can avoid the situation that the degree of damage to the clothes after the sterilization program of the washing and drying machine is greatly different due to the different materials of the clothes, so as to avoid the problem that the degree of ozone damage to the clothes is uncontrollable when the washing and drying machine 1 sterilizes the clothes. However, when the materials of the clothes put into the clothes treatment drum 12 are different, but the ozone tolerance of the clothes of different materials is the same or not much different, the washing and drying device does not issue a prompt message that the clothes material does not meet the requirements.

[0066] It should be noted that, although the clothing characteristic information described above is clothing material information, this is not restrictive. When the present invention is implemented, the clothing characteristic information may also include clothing color information.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the control method for determining the sterilization scheme of the washer-dryer 1 of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0068] S201: calling a preset mapping relationship table of clothing characteristics, bacteria conditions and sterilization solutions;

[0069] S202: Determine a sterilization plan based on clothing characteristics, bacterial conditions and a mapping relationship table.

[0070] In S201, a mapping relationship table of clothing characteristics, bacterial conditions and sterilization schemes is stored inside the control module 11, so that when the control module 11 receives clothing characteristic information and bacterial condition information, the control module 11 can call the mapping relationship table pre-stored inside the control module 11.

[0071] It should be noted that, although the above description is that the mapping relationship table is preset and stored inside the control module 11, this is not restrictive, and the control module 11 can also be constructed to be able to match the corresponding mapping relationship table of clothing characteristics and bacterial conditions with sterilization solutions in a local database, a cloud database or a network database according to the received clothing characteristic information and bacterial condition information.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the control method for the integrated washer-dryer 1 of the present invention to determine a sterilization scheme according to clothing characteristics and bacterial conditions includes the following steps:

[0073] S301: Determine the correspondence between the target moisture content of the clothing, the target ozone concentration, the required sterilization time, and the degree of damage to the clothing based on the clothing characteristics and the bacterial situation and a mapping relationship table, wherein the mapping relationship table stores the correspondence between the clothing characteristics, the number of bacteria, the target moisture content of the clothing, the target ozone concentration, the required sterilization time, and the degree of damage to the clothing;

[0074] S302: Adjust the current moisture content of the clothes and the ozone concentration in the clothes treatment drum 12 based on the characteristics of the clothes and the bacterial conditions and the corresponding relationship.

[0075] In S301, the mapping relationship table stores the correspondence between clothing characteristics, bacterial count, target moisture content of clothing, target ozone concentration, required sterilization time and degree of damage to clothing, so that after the control module 11 receives the clothing characteristic information and bacterial count information, it compares them with the mapping relationship table, so that the control module 11 adjusts the target moisture content and target ozone concentration of the clothing according to the correspondence in the mapping relationship table, thereby adjusting the degree of damage to the clothing caused by the sterilization scheme, and the control module 11 determines the sterilization time required for this sterilization according to the number of bacteria on the clothing.

[0076] It should be noted that, in the specific implementation of the present invention, the inventors found that the higher the moisture content of the clothes, the easier it is for ozone to dissolve in the water molecules of the clothes, and thus make it easier for ozone to penetrate into the fibers of the clothes. Therefore, under the same conditions, clothes with a higher moisture content can better absorb ozone, thereby improving the sterilization effect. However, since clothes of different materials have different tolerance to ozone, in order to minimize the damage to the clothes while ensuring the ozone concentration to improve the effect of ozone sterilization, the present invention adjusts the moisture content and ozone concentration of the clothes according to the mapping relationship table of the corresponding relationship between the number of characteristic bacteria of the clothes, the target moisture content of the clothes, the target ozone concentration, the required sterilization time and the degree of damage to the clothes. In this way, when the washing and drying machine 1 sterilizes the clothes by ozone, the control module 11 can adjust the moisture content and ozone concentration of the clothes according to the material of the clothes and the number of bacteria, so that the moisture content and ozone concentration of the clothes are close to the target moisture content and ozone target concentration in the mapping relationship table, respectively, so as to reduce the degree of damage to the clothes by the washing and drying machine 1 during the ozone sterilization process.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the control method of the washer-dryer 1 of the present invention further includes a control method for adjusting the moisture content of clothes, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0078] S401: obtaining the current moisture content of the clothes based on the obtained dry clothes weight and the current weight of the clothes;

[0079] S402: adjusting the current moisture content of the clothes based on the target moisture content until the difference between the current moisture content of the clothes and the target moisture content of the clothes is less than or equal to a preset moisture content difference threshold.

[0080] In S401, the gravity detection device obtains the weight of the dry clothes put into the clothes processing drum 12 and the current weight of the clothes, and calculates the current moisture content of the clothes based on the obtained weight of the dry clothes and the current weight of the clothes.

[0081] In S402, the washing and drying machine is controlled to adjust the current moisture content of the clothes based on the target moisture content, and the program for adjusting the moisture content of the clothes is stopped when the difference between the current moisture content of the clothes and the target moisture content of the clothes is less than or equal to the preset moisture content difference threshold. It should be noted that the preset moisture content difference threshold can be determined by the designer based on experience, experiments, calculations, etc. For example, the moisture content difference threshold can be set to 1%. In this way, if the difference between the current moisture content of the clothes and the target moisture content of the clothes is less than or equal to 1%, it means that the current moisture content of the clothes meets the sterilization requirements, and the difference between the current moisture content of the clothes and the target moisture content of the clothes will not have a significant impact on the degree of damage to the clothes. Obviously, the difference threshold can also be set to other values, as long as the difference between the current moisture content of the clothes and the target moisture content of the clothes will not have a significant impact on the degree of damage to the clothes.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the control method for adjusting the moisture content and ozone concentration of clothes by the washing and drying machine 1 of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0083] S501: Detecting the current moisture content of the clothes in real time when executing the sterilization program;

[0084] S502: Adjust the current moisture content and ozone concentration of the clothes in real time based on the characteristics of the clothes, the bacterial situation and the corresponding relationship.

[0085] In S501, when the sterilization program is executed, the current moisture content of the clothes inside the clothes processing drum 12 is obtained in real time by a weighing device.

[0086] In S502, the control module 11 can adjust the current moisture content of the clothes and the ozone concentration in the clothing treatment drum 12 according to the clothing characteristics, the number of bacteria and the correspondence between the clothing characteristics, the number of bacteria, the target moisture content of the clothes, the target ozone concentration, the required sterilization time and the degree of damage to the clothes stored in the mapping relationship table, so that the washer-dryer 1 causes less damage to the clothes during sterilization.

[0087] It should be noted that the inventors found that during the specific implementation of the present invention, as the sterilization program runs, the number of bacteria on the clothes will become less and less, and the current moisture content and ozone concentration of the clothes required at this time will also be reduced accordingly. Based on this, during the sterilization process, if the current moisture content and ozone concentration of the clothes are reduced, the speed of ozone damage to the clothes will be reduced, thereby reducing the degree of ozone damage to the clothes. Therefore, during the specific implementation of the present invention, the one-to-one correspondence between the clothing characteristics, the number of bacteria, the target moisture content of the clothes, and the target ozone concentration stored in the mapping relationship table enables the present invention to adjust the current moisture content and ozone concentration of the clothes according to the change in the number of bacteria when executing the sterilization program, thereby further reducing the damage of ozone to the clothes.

[0088] like Figure 6 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, another control method for adjusting the moisture content and ozone concentration of clothes in the washer-dryer 1 of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0089] S601: obtaining the current moisture content and bacterial status of the clothes when executing the sterilization program, wherein the bacterial status also includes the type of bacteria;

[0090] S602: Adjust the current moisture content and ozone concentration of the clothes based on the characteristics of the clothes, the bacterial situation and the corresponding relationship.

[0091] In S602, there are usually multiple types of bacteria on clothes, and different types of bacteria have different tolerance to ozone. This will result in different times at which different types of bacteria are eliminated during the sterilization process of the washer-dryer 1. As the sterilization program of clothes proceeds, the types of bacteria on clothes will also decrease. Based on this, when performing the sterilization program, the present invention can compare the acquired clothing material, bacteria type, and bacteria number with the mapping relationship table, so as to adaptively adjust the current moisture content and ozone concentration of the clothes in real time, thereby further reducing the damage of ozone to clothes. At this time, the mapping relationship table also stores the correspondence between clothing characteristics, bacteria number, bacteria type, target moisture content of clothes, target ozone concentration, required sterilization time and degree of damage to clothes.

[0092] like Figure 7 As shown, in a possible implementation, when there are multiple sterilization schemes, the control method for displaying the sterilization scheme on the control panel 13 of the washer-dryer 1 of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0093] S701: Displaying multiple sterilization schemes to the user through the control panel 13;

[0094] S702: Displaying sterilization information corresponding to multiple sterilization schemes to the user through the control panel 13, so that the user can determine a final sterilization scheme based on the sterilization information.

[0095] In S702, the control panel 13 displays sterilization information corresponding to multiple sterilization schemes to the user, and the sterilization information includes the sterilization time required by the sterilization scheme and the degree of damage to the clothes caused by the sterilization scheme, so that the user can select the sterilization scheme according to his or her needs.

[0096] It should be noted that although the sterilization method described above sterilizes clothes by ozone, this is not restrictive. In the specific implementation of the present invention, clothes can also be sterilized by adding a sterilizing agent into the clothing treatment drum 12, or clothes can be sterilized by high temperature sterilization or ultraviolet sterilization, but this is not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can also sterilize clothes by combining the above sterilization methods such as ozone, adding a sterilizing agent, high temperature or ultraviolet light, as long as the degree of damage to the clothes is the same or the difference is small when the clothes are sterilized. For example, in the specific implementation of the present invention, the clothes are mainly sterilized by using the characteristics that most bacteria are intolerant to ozone, but if ozone-resistant bacteria are detected on the clothes, the ozone-resistant bacteria can be sterilized by adding a sterilizing agent, high temperature or ultraviolet light based on the detected clothing material information, so as to effectively sterilize the ozone-resistant bacteria. This avoids the occurrence of a situation where the degree of damage to the clothes is large due to the need to increase the ozone concentration to sterilize the ozone-resistant bacteria.

[0097] like Figure 8 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the control method for ranking the priorities of multiple sterilization schemes of the washer-dryer 1 of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0098] S801: Obtaining information on the required sterilization time and the degree of damage to clothing corresponding to multiple sterilization schemes in a mapping relationship table;

[0099] S802: Prioritize multiple sterilization schemes based on at least one of the required sterilization time, the degree of damage, and the user's historical selection record.

[0100] In S802, when displaying all sterilization schemes, the control panel 13 can sort them according to the required sterilization time, or sort them according to the degree of damage to the clothes, or sort them according to the number of historical selection records of the user, or can also sort them according to factors such as the sterilization time required, the sterilization cost, and the historical selection records of the user. At the same time, the required sterilization time and other information can also be displayed while displaying the priority ranking of the sterilization schemes.

[0101] like Fig. 9 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the control method for selecting a sterilization scheme for the washer-dryer 1 of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0102] S901: recommend multiple sterilization schemes to the user according to the priority ranking of all sterilization schemes;

[0103] S902: If the user does not perform a selected operation based on the sterilization scheme within the preset operation time period, the sterilization scheme at the first priority level is automatically determined as the final sterilization scheme at the end of the preset operation time period.

[0104] In S901, in the specific real-time mode of the present invention, the control module 11 can also recommend all sterilization schemes to the user according to the priority ranking of all sterilization schemes.

[0105] In S902, if the user does not select a recommended sterilization scheme within the preset operation time period, the sterilization scheme at the first priority level will be automatically determined as the final sterilization scheme at the end of the operation time period. This will make it convenient for the user to select the sterilization scheme that takes the least time or causes the least damage to clothes among all the recommended sterilization schemes according to the user's own usage needs. In addition, during the user's use, the ranking of the sterilization scheme can be improved according to the user's historical selection record of the sterilization scheme, and when the user does not select an operation based on all the sterilization schemes within the preset operation time period, the sterilization scheme at the first priority level will be automatically determined as the final sterilization scheme at the end of the preset operation time period, so that the sterilization scheme recommended by the system is consistent with the user's usage habits and can reduce the user's operations during use. To improve user satisfaction.
