Detailed Implementation

[0056] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a control method for a garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. This control method is used for... Figure 2 The control of the garment processing equipment shown includes a garment processing cylinder 1, a heating air duct 4 and an exhaust port 5 connected to the garment processing cylinder 1, a fresh air intake port 204 and a cylinder air inlet 6 connected to the heating air duct 4, and a first opening adjustment component 3 and a second opening adjustment component for adjusting the opening degree of the fresh air intake port 204 and the exhaust port 5, respectively.

[0058] This garment processing equipment can be a dryer, washer-dryer combo, etc. The garment processing drum 1 includes an inner drum 102 and an outer drum 101. A heating element 10 is installed inside the heating air duct 4, and the dry, cold airflow flowing through the heating air duct 4 is heated by the heating element 10. The heating element 10 can specifically be an electric heating element. The garment processing equipment also includes a return air duct 7 and a fan 2. The return air duct 7 is connected to the garment processing drum 1, and the return air duct 7 is connected to the heating air duct 4 via the fan 2. The garment processing equipment includes a housing 11, with an exhaust port 5 located on the housing 11. The exhaust port 5 is specifically connected to the garment processing drum 1 via an exhaust pipe 9 and a vent pipe 8. The return air duct 7 is specifically connected to the garment processing drum 1 via two connecting air ducts 13. A drain outlet is provided on the outer drum 101, and the drain outlet is connected to a drain pipe 12.

[0059] A condensation zone 14 is formed between the inner cylinder 102 and the outer cylinder 101, and between the outer cylinder 101 and the inner cylinder 102. The condensation zone 14 is connected to the clothes handling cylinder 1 and the connecting air duct 13. The return air duct 7 includes a condensation section 701 located between the two connecting air ducts 13. A portion of the airflow from the clothes handling cylinder 1 enters the return air duct 7 through the upper part of the condensation zone 14 and the upper connecting air duct 13. Condensed water from the outside can enter the condensation zone 14. A portion of the airflow from the clothes handling cylinder 1 flows from bottom to top along the lower part of the condensation zone 14 and exchanges heat with the condensed water flowing from top to bottom along the condensation zone 14. The airflow after heat exchange enters the return air duct 7 through the upper connecting air duct 13. A portion of the airflow from the clothing treatment drum 1 enters the condensation section 701 through the lower part of the condensation zone 14 and the connecting air duct 13 on the lower side. External condensate can enter the condensation section 701. The airflow flows from bottom to top along the condensation section 701 and exchanges heat with the condensate flowing from top to bottom along the condensation section 701.

[0060] Reference Figures 3 to 5 Specifically, fan 2 is a dual-intake fan. In this case, fan 2 includes a fresh air intake 204 and a return air intake 205. The return air intake 205 is connected to the return air duct 7. The return air intake 205 is used to draw airflow from the garment processing drum 1 into the heating duct 4, and the fresh air intake 204 is used to draw fresh air from outside the garment processing drum 1 into the heating duct 4. When fan 2 is running, it can introduce fresh air, which mixes with the internal circulating airflow in the garment processing equipment.

[0061] It should be noted that this dual-intake fan adds an opening to the outside environment to the volute casing of the original centrifugal fan, and adds an extra fan blade. When fan 2 is running, in addition to the original internal circulation, fresh air can be introduced into the internal circulation, increasing the air volume, reducing the fan load, and further improving drying efficiency.

[0062] The fan 2 includes a rotatable first fan blade 201 and a second fan blade 202. The fan 2 also includes a fan blade baffle 203, which is disposed between the first fan blade 201 and the second fan blade 202. The fan 2 also includes a fan blade motor 206, which drives the first fan blade 201 and the second fan blade 202 to rotate. When the first fan blade 201 rotates, fresh air is introduced through the fresh air intake 204. The direction of the fresh air flow can be referenced... Figure 3 The direction indicated by arrow B. When the second fan blade 202 rotates, the internal circulating airflow in the garment processing equipment is introduced through the return air duct 7 and the return air intake 205. The flow direction of the internal circulating airflow can be referred to... Figure 3 The direction indicated by arrow A in the middle.

[0063] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first opening adjustment component 3 may include multiple window blades 301 and multiple rotating shafts 302. The multiple window blades 301 are respectively connected to the multiple rotating shafts 302. When the rotating shafts 302 rotate, they drive the window blades 301 to rotate. The multiple window blades 301 can be controlled to rotate synchronously, and when the multiple window blades 301 are controlled to rotate synchronously, the fresh air intake 204 can be opened or closed. The opening of the fresh air intake 204 can be adjusted by changing the rotation angle of the window blades 301.

[0064] The second opening adjustment assembly may include an exhaust baffle and a rotary drive connected to the exhaust baffle. The rotary drive, which may be a motor, drives the exhaust baffle to rotate. When the exhaust baffle completely blocks the exhaust port 5, the opening of the exhaust port 5 is zero percent. When the exhaust port 5 is not completely blocked by the exhaust baffle, the opening of the exhaust port 5 is one hundred percent.

[0065] Reference Figure 1 The control method for garment processing equipment includes the following steps:

[0066] Step 101: When the clothing processing equipment is in the heating stage of the drying process, the first opening adjustment component and the second opening adjustment component are controlled to operate according to the first preset opening degree.

[0067] The first preset opening degree is 0%. The heating stage, which is also the initial stage of the drying process, involves the gradual increase in temperature inside the garment processing drum 1. The first opening degree adjustment component, controlled by the first preset opening degree of 0%, ensures that the opening degree of the fresh air intake vent 204 is 0%, effectively closing it completely. Similarly, the second opening degree adjustment component, also controlled by the first preset opening degree of 0%, ensures that the opening degree of the exhaust vent 5 is 0%, effectively closing it completely.

[0068] In the early stage of the drying process, if both the fresh air intake 204 and the exhaust 5 remain open, the heating time inside the garment processing drum will be prolonged. In this embodiment of the invention, when the garment processing equipment is in the heating stage of the drying process, the first and second opening adjustment components are controlled to operate according to a first preset opening degree of 0%, so that the fresh air intake and exhaust vents are completely closed. This keeps the garment processing drum in a closed state without ventilation to the outside, avoiding the prolonged heating time caused by heating cold fresh air, thereby shortening the heating time, increasing the heating rate, and ultimately improving the drying efficiency.

[0069] Reference Figure 6 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the garment handling equipment control method includes:

[0070] Step 201: When the garment processing equipment is in the heating stage of the drying process, the first opening adjustment component and the second opening adjustment component are controlled to operate according to the first preset opening degree.

[0071] Step 202: When the garment processing equipment is in the drying stage of the drying process, the first opening adjustment component is controlled to operate according to the second preset opening degree, and the second opening adjustment component is controlled to operate according to the third preset opening degree.

[0072] When the temperature inside the garment processing drum 1 reaches the set temperature, the heating phase ends, and the garment processing equipment enters the drying phase of the drying process. The set temperature can be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations. The second preset opening degree is 100%, and the third preset opening degree is 0%. During the drying phase of the garment processing equipment, the core objective is to quickly and effectively evaporate the residual moisture in the garments. It is necessary to maintain the temperature inside the garment processing drum 1 within a high temperature range and to avoid the temperature inside the garment processing drum 1 becoming too high in order to achieve efficient drying and garment protection. When the garment processing equipment enters the drying phase of the drying process, condensate water begins to enter, the fresh air intake vent 204 is fully opened to introduce fresh air, and the exhaust vent 5 is closed.

[0073] Step 203: Determine the exhaust opening of the exhaust port based on the first temperature of the air inlet of the cylinder.

[0074] The exhaust opening is greater than 0% and less than 100%. The initial temperature of the air inlet 6 can be detected by a temperature sensor located at the air inlet 6. The exhaust opening is affected by the initial temperature of the air inlet; if the initial temperature of the air inlet is too high, the exhaust opening needs to be increased.

[0075] Step 204: Control the operation of the second opening adjustment component according to the exhaust opening.

[0076] The second opening adjustment component adjusts the opening of the exhaust port 5 according to the determined exhaust opening. During the drying stage, if the exhaust port 5 is kept closed, the temperature inside the clothes processing drum 1 may become too high, potentially damaging the clothes. In this embodiment, the exhaust port 5 is completely closed at the beginning of the drying stage. Then, an exhaust opening greater than zero percent is determined based on the first temperature at the drum inlet. The second opening adjustment component is then controlled to open the exhaust port 5, ensuring that the hot and humid airflow is exhausted. This reduces the temperature inside the clothes processing drum 1, preventing damage to the clothes from excessive heat.

[0077] In addition, during the drying phase of the garment processing equipment, fresh air can be introduced through the fresh air intake 204. This fresh air mixes with the drying airflow, increasing air volume and reducing humidity, thereby accelerating moisture evaporation from the clothes and shortening drying time. Furthermore, introducing fresh air improves the internal air environment of the garment processing equipment, reducing odor generation and enhancing the user experience. Additionally, introducing fresh air during the drying phase maintains air circulation within the equipment, preventing the accumulation of hot, humid air in the ducts due to prolonged operation, thus reducing bacterial and mold growth and improving the cleanliness and hygiene of the clothes. Moreover, introducing fresh air through a dual-intake fan improves drying efficiency while minimizing condensate water usage, increasing condensate water utilization and promoting water and energy conservation.

[0078] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 203, determining the exhaust opening of the exhaust port based on the first temperature of the air inlet of the cylinder, includes:

[0079] If the first temperature at the air inlet of the cylinder is maintained for a duration greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, the exhaust opening of the exhaust port is determined to be the fourth preset opening.

[0080] The fourth preset opening degree is greater than 0% and less than or equal to 50%. The fourth preset opening degree can be 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, etc. The first preset temperature can be set according to actual needs, for example, it can be set to 85℃-90℃. The set time can be set according to actual needs, for example, it can be set to two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, five minutes, etc.

[0081] In this embodiment, when the first temperature at the air inlet of the cylinder is continuously set for a time greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, the exhaust port 5 will open to a degree of 0% to 50%, which can appropriately discharge the hot and humid airflow, thereby reducing the temperature inside the clothes processing cylinder 1, preventing the temperature inside the clothes processing cylinder 1 from being too high, and avoiding the evaporation efficiency being affected by excessive discharge of hot and humid airflow.

[0082] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 203, determining the exhaust opening of the exhaust port based on the first temperature of the air inlet of the cylinder, includes:

[0083] If the first temperature at the air inlet of the cylinder is maintained for a duration greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the exhaust opening of the exhaust port is determined to be the fifth preset opening.

[0084] The second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature, and the fifth preset opening degree is greater than 50% and less than or equal to 100%. The fifth preset opening degree can be 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, etc. The second preset temperature can be set according to actual needs, for example, it can be set to 90℃-95℃.

[0085] When the second preset temperature is higher than the first preset temperature, and the duration of the first temperature setting at the air inlet is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature inside the clothing processing drum 1 has reached a high-risk range, which may damage the clothing. In this embodiment, when the duration of the first temperature setting at the air inlet is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the exhaust port 5 will be opened to a degree of 50% to 100%, so as to discharge as much hot and humid air as possible. This will quickly reduce the temperature inside the clothing processing drum 1, prevent the temperature inside the clothing processing drum 1 from becoming too high, and avoid damage to the clothing caused by excessively high temperatures.

[0086] Reference Figure 7 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the garment handling equipment control method includes:

[0087] Step 301: When the clothing processing equipment is in the heating stage of the drying process, the first opening adjustment component and the second opening adjustment component are controlled to operate according to the first preset opening degree.

[0088] Step 302: When the garment processing equipment is in the drying stage of the drying process, the first opening adjustment component is controlled to operate according to the second preset opening degree, and the second opening adjustment component is controlled to operate according to the third preset opening degree.

[0089] Step 303: Determine the exhaust opening of the exhaust port based on the first temperature of the air inlet of the cylinder.

[0090] Step 304: Control the operation of the second opening adjustment component according to the exhaust opening.

[0091] Step 305: Obtain the second temperature at the air inlet of the cylinder.

[0092] Specifically, after a preset detection time for controlling the operation of the second opening adjustment component based on the exhaust opening, the second temperature of the cylinder inlet is acquired. That is, the acquisition time of the second temperature of the cylinder inlet is later than the acquisition time of the first temperature of the cylinder inlet.

[0093] Step 306: When the second temperature at the air inlet of the cylinder is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the first temperature at the air inlet of the cylinder, the second opening adjustment component is controlled to operate according to the exhaust opening.

[0094] Specifically, when the second temperature at the air inlet of the cylinder is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the first temperature at the air inlet of the cylinder, the second opening adjustment component continues to operate according to the exhaust opening, that is, the opening of the exhaust port 5 remains unchanged.

[0095] In this embodiment, after determining the exhaust opening of the exhaust port based on the first temperature of the air inlet and controlling the operation of the second opening adjustment component based on the exhaust opening, the second temperature of the air inlet will continue to be acquired. When the second temperature of the air inlet is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the first temperature of the air inlet, the opening of the exhaust port 5 will remain unchanged so as to continue to discharge the hot and humid airflow through the exhaust port 5, thereby reducing the temperature inside the clothing processing drum 1 and preventing the temperature inside the clothing processing drum 1 from becoming too high.

[0096] Step 307: When the second temperature at the air inlet of the cylinder is lower than the first preset temperature, the first opening adjustment component is controlled to operate according to the sixth preset opening, and the second opening adjustment component is controlled to operate according to the seventh preset opening.

[0097] The sixth preset opening degree is 50%, and the seventh preset opening degree is 0%. When the second temperature at the air inlet of the garment processing drum is lower than the first preset temperature, the first opening degree adjustment component 3 is controlled to adjust the opening of the fresh air intake 204 to 50%, and the second opening degree adjustment component is controlled to close the exhaust port 5. If the second temperature at the air inlet of the garment processing drum is lower than the first preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature inside the garment processing drum 1 is slightly low, which may affect the evaporation efficiency of moisture. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the thermal environment inside the garment processing drum 1 by reducing the amount of fresh air introduced and stopping the exhaust of hot and humid airflow to increase the temperature inside the garment processing drum 1.

[0098] In this embodiment, after determining the exhaust opening of the exhaust port based on the first temperature of the air inlet and controlling the operation of the second opening adjustment component based on the exhaust opening, the second temperature of the air inlet will continue to be obtained. When the second temperature of the air inlet is lower than the first preset temperature, the opening of the fresh air intake 204 will be reduced and the exhaust port 5 will be closed to reduce the amount of fresh air introduced and end the discharge of hot and humid airflow, thereby increasing the temperature inside the clothing processing drum 1 and improving the evaporation efficiency.

[0099] It should be noted that before the drying process ends, the second temperature of the drum air inlet will be checked every preset detection time. Based on the re-detected second temperature of the drum air inlet, steps 306 and 307 will continue to be executed until the drying process ends. The preset detection time can be set according to actual needs, for example, it can be set to 1 second to 1 minute.

[0100] Step 308: When the garment processing equipment is in the cooling stage of the drying process, the first opening adjustment component and the second opening adjustment component are controlled to operate according to the eighth preset opening degree.

[0101] The eighth preset opening degree is 100%. After drying, the garment handling equipment enters the cooling stage of the drying process, during which the temperature inside the garment handling drum 1 gradually decreases. The cooling stage is the final stage of the drying process. The cooling stage ends when the temperature inside the garment handling drum 1 drops to a preset safe range. The garment handling equipment also includes a cooling fan, which operates during the cooling stage.

[0102] In this embodiment, when the clothing processing equipment is in the cooling stage of the drying process, the first opening adjustment component and the second opening adjustment component are controlled to operate so that the fresh air intake 204 and the exhaust port 5 are fully opened, so as to introduce as much fresh air as possible and exhaust the hot and humid airflow, thereby enabling the moisture in the clothing processing drum 1 to evaporate quickly and reduce the humidity in the clothing processing drum 1.

[0103] Step 309: When the temperature inside the garment processing drum is within a preset safe range, control the operation of the first opening adjustment component and the second opening adjustment component according to the ninth preset opening.

[0104] The ninth preset opening degree is zero percent. The temperature inside the clothing processing drum 1 can be detected by a temperature sensor installed inside the drum. The temperature inside the clothing processing drum can be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose a specific limitation. When the temperature inside the clothing processing drum drops to a preset safe range, the cooling fan is controlled to stop running, and the first and second opening degree adjustment components are controlled to operate, so that the fresh air intake vent 204 and the exhaust vent 5 are completely closed. At this time, the clothing processing equipment is in standby mode, and the user can safely remove the clothing.

[0105] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the garment handling equipment control method further includes:

[0106] When the garment processing equipment is in the drying stage of the drying process, the humidity inside the garment processing drum is obtained; when the humidity inside the garment processing drum is greater than or equal to the set humidity, the second opening adjustment component is controlled to operate according to the ninth preset opening.

[0107] The ninth preset opening degree is 100%. A humidity sensor can be installed inside the clothing processing drum 1 to detect the humidity inside the drum 1. The set humidity can be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations. When the humidity inside the clothing processing drum is greater than or equal to the set humidity, the second opening degree adjustment component is controlled to operate so that the exhaust port 5 is fully opened. After the exhaust port 5 is fully opened, the hot and humid airflow can be discharged, reducing the humidity inside the clothing processing drum 1.

[0108] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the humidity inside the clothing processing drum is greater than or equal to the set humidity, even if the temperature inside the clothing processing drum 1 is less than the first preset temperature, the second opening adjustment component is still controlled to operate so that the exhaust port 5 is fully opened.

[0109] A humid environment can breed bacteria, affecting the cleanliness and hygiene of clothing. In this embodiment, when the humidity inside the clothing treatment drum 1 is greater than or equal to the set humidity, the second opening adjustment component is controlled to operate so that the exhaust port 5 is fully opened, thereby expelling hot and humid airflow, reducing the humidity inside the clothing treatment drum 1, and thus ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the clothing.

[0110] Reference Figure 8 The steps of the clothing processing equipment control method provided in this embodiment of the invention in actual application include:

[0111] S1, Enter the drying stage, control the fresh air intake to open at 100%, and control the exhaust port to close; S2, Determine if the first temperature at the cylinder air inlet has been continuously set for a time greater than or equal to the first preset temperature; if the first temperature at the cylinder air inlet has been continuously set for a time greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, then proceed to S3, Determine if the first temperature at the cylinder air inlet has been continuously set for a time greater than or equal to the second preset temperature; if the first temperature at the cylinder air inlet has been continuously set for a time greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, then proceed to S4, Control the exhaust port to open at 50%-100%; if the first temperature at the cylinder air inlet has not been continuously set for a time greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, then proceed to S5, Control the exhaust port... S6: Open the air inlet and set the opening degree to 0%-50%; S7: Determine whether the second temperature of the air inlet is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the first temperature of the air inlet; if the second temperature of the air inlet is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the first temperature of the air inlet, then execute S7 to keep the opening degree of the exhaust port unchanged; if the second temperature of the air inlet is not greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the first temperature of the air inlet, then execute S8 to determine whether the second temperature of the air inlet is less than the first preset temperature; if the second temperature of the air inlet is less than the first preset temperature, then execute S9 to close the exhaust port and adjust the opening degree of the fresh air intake to 50%; S10: Drying ends.

[0112] During the drying stage, the first opening adjustment component 3 is activated to open the fresh air intake vent 204 to 100% opening. Simultaneously, the second opening adjustment component is activated to completely close the exhaust vent 5. Then, if the first temperature setting time at the cylinder inlet is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, the second opening adjustment component is activated to open the exhaust vent 5 to 0%-50% opening. If the first temperature setting time at the cylinder inlet is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the second opening adjustment component is activated to open the exhaust vent 5 to 50%-100% opening.

[0113] Then, after a preset detection time for controlling the second opening adjustment component to open the exhaust port 5, the second temperature of the cylinder inlet is obtained. If the second temperature of the cylinder inlet is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the first temperature of the cylinder inlet, the opening of the exhaust port remains unchanged. If the second temperature of the cylinder inlet is less than the first preset temperature, the first opening adjustment component 3 is controlled to adjust the opening of the fresh air intake 204 to 50%, and the second opening adjustment component is controlled to close the exhaust port 5.

[0114] It should be noted that before the drying process ends, the second temperature at the cylinder air inlet is checked every preset detection time. Based on the re-detected second temperature at the cylinder air inlet, steps S6 to S9 continue until the drying process ends. The preset detection time can be set according to actual needs; for example, it can be set to 1 second to 1 minute. When the duration of the drying stage reaches the preset drying time, the drying process is considered complete. The preset drying time can be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose a specific limitation.

[0115] In summary, during the drying process, if the fresh air intake 204 and the exhaust 5 are kept open, it may prolong the time for the clothes processing drum 1 to heat up. If the fresh air intake 204 and the exhaust 5 are kept closed, the temperature inside the clothes processing drum 1 may become too high, which may damage the clothes. In this embodiment, when the clothing processing equipment is in the heating stage of the drying process, the fresh air intake 204 and the exhaust 5 are completely closed to shorten the heating time. When the drying stage is just beginning, the fresh air intake 204 is fully opened and the exhaust 5 is completely closed to introduce fresh air. Then, when the first temperature setting time of the drum air inlet is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, the exhaust 5 is opened to a degree of 0% to 50% to appropriately discharge the humid and hot airflow, thereby reducing the temperature inside the clothing processing drum 1. When the first temperature setting time of the drum air inlet is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the exhaust 5 is opened to a degree of 50% to 100% to discharge as much humid and hot airflow as possible, thereby quickly reducing the temperature inside the clothing processing drum 1, preventing the temperature inside the clothing processing drum 1 from becoming too high, and avoiding damage to the clothing caused by excessive temperature.
