Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drying, and more specifically, to an airflow regulation structure, a garment processing device, and a garment processing method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, clothing drying equipment uses a drying airflow that passes through a fan and heater before entering the processing drum to dry the clothes. However, as drying requirements become increasingly stringent, the precision of airflow control also increases. But current clothing processing equipment can only adjust the airflow by changing the fan speed, which is insufficient to meet drying demands and leads to a decrease in processing effectiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides an airflow regulation structure, a clothing treatment device, and a clothing treatment method to at least solve the technical problem of reduced clothing treatment effect.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the embodiments of this application, an airflow regulating structure is provided, applied to a garment processing device with a drying function, the garment processing device including a processing drum and a drying air duct, the drying air duct being used to deliver drying airflow into the processing drum, the airflow regulating structure including:

[0005] A partition is provided between the drying air duct and the processing cylinder. The partition has at least two independently provided ventilation openings, through which the drying airflow in the drying air duct enters the processing cylinder.

[0006] A baffle is movably disposed on the partition, the baffle being capable of blocking at least one of the ventilation openings, wherein the baffle is capable of partially or completely blocking the ventilation opening when blocking the ventilation opening.

[0007] In this embodiment, the baffle blocks the drying airflow, ensuring that the airflow can only enter the processing drum through the vents. By incorporating movable baffles within the vents, adjusting the airflow can be achieved by simply moving the baffles to block part or all of the air inlets, a simple and convenient process. Furthermore, since there are at least two independently designed vents, when different vents are blocked, the drying airflow will enter the processing drum from different locations, easily meeting a wider range of drying needs and improving the overall processing effect on the garments.

[0008] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the baffle is slidably disposed on the partition, and the baffle includes a first position in which the vent is not blocked and a second position in which the vent is completely blocked;

[0009] As the baffle moves from the first position to the second position, the area of ​​the ventilated opening gradually decreases.

[0010] In this implementation, the baffle is slidably mounted on the partition, allowing for easy control of the baffle's movement when it's necessary to block or open the vents. This sliding design reduces the space occupied by the baffle. Furthermore, the sliding mechanism allows the baffle to freely block the vent area, increasing the flexibility of the blocking process and making it easier to meet various garment processing needs, thus improving the overall garment processing effect.

[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, there are multiple baffles, and the number of baffles is the same as the number of ventilation openings, with each of the multiple baffles corresponding to a multiple ventilation opening.

[0012] With this implementation method, the baffles and vents are set one-to-one, which makes it easy to make precise adjustments to the sealing of each vent, thereby more accurately controlling the airflow rate and the position of the drying airflow entering the processing cylinder.

[0013] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, there are multiple baffles, and the number of baffles is the same as the number of ventilation openings, with each of the multiple baffles corresponding to a multiple ventilation opening;

[0014] The baffle is rotatably mounted on the partition, and the baffle blocks the corresponding ventilation opening by flipping over.

[0015] In this implementation, the baffle is rotatably mounted on the partition, allowing it to flip. When it's necessary to block or open the vent, simply control the baffle to flip; the control process is simple and convenient. Furthermore, when the baffle flips to a certain angle, it can also change the flow speed or direction of the drying airflow entering the vent, thereby improving the control accuracy of the drying airflow entering the processing cylinder.

[0016] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the baffle is a telescopic structure or a folding structure, and the ventilation opening is partially or completely blocked by controlling the telescopic or folding of the baffle.

[0017] Using this implementation method, the telescopic or folding structure of the baffle helps to save space.

[0018] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the vent includes a first vent corresponding to the bottom of the processing cylinder, a second vent corresponding to the left side of the processing cylinder, and a third vent corresponding to the right side of the processing cylinder;

[0019] When the first air vent is not completely blocked, the drying airflow passes through the first air vent and reaches the bottom area inside the processing cylinder;

[0020] When the second air vent is not completely blocked, the drying airflow passes through the second air vent and reaches the left side area inside the processing cylinder;

[0021] When the third air vent is not completely blocked, the drying airflow passes through the third air vent and reaches the right side area inside the processing cylinder.

[0022] In this implementation, the first air inlet corresponds to the bottom area of ​​the processing cylinder, so that when the drying airflow enters the processing cylinder from the first air inlet, it can blow up the clothes at the bottom of the processing cylinder and dry the inside of the clothes. It also helps the drying airflow in the bottom area to rise and make even contact with the clothes, thereby improving the processing effect of the clothes.

[0023] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, at least one communication port for the flow of the drying airflow is provided on the partition below the vent, and a volute is installed at each communication port.

[0024] By adopting this implementation method, the volute casing is designed to improve the flow direction and / or flow velocity of the drying airflow entering the vent.

[0025] According to a second aspect of the present application, a garment processing device is provided, including a processing drum, a drying duct, and the airflow regulating structure described above, wherein the drying duct is used to deliver drying airflow into the processing drum.

[0026] In conjunction with the second aspect, in an optional implementation of this application embodiment, the clothing processing device further includes a base and the airflow regulating structure described above; the processing cylinder has a through hole on the side corresponding to the vent.

[0027] At least a portion of the drying air duct is formed inside the base, and the air outlet of the drying air duct inside the base is connected to the connecting port, so that the drying airflow passes through the connecting port, the volute, the vent, and the through hole in sequence from the base and enters the processing cylinder.

[0028] According to a third aspect of the embodiments of this application, a garment processing method is provided, applied to the garment processing equipment described above, the method comprising:

[0029] Get the material of the clothing;

[0030] The corresponding drying program is executed according to the material of the clothing. Different drying programs control the baffles differently so that the air inlet position and / or air inlet area of ​​the processing drum are different.

[0031] By adopting this method, the appropriate drying program is selected according to the material of the clothing, which makes the control of the baffles different during the drying process, thus improving the processing effect of the clothing.

[0032] In conjunction with the third aspect, in one optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the step of performing a corresponding drying procedure based on the clothing material includes:

[0033] If the clothing material is the preset target material, the first running program will be executed; otherwise, the second running program will be used.

[0034] The first operating program controls the baffle based on the temperature inside the processing cylinder to change the air inlet position and / or air inlet area, and the second operating program controls the baffle based on the humidity inside the processing cylinder to change the air inlet position and / or air inlet area.

[0035] Using this implementation, a first operating program is used to dry clothing made of the target material, while a second operating program is used to dry clothing made of other materials. Furthermore, the first and second operating programs use different data when controlling the baffles, which allows for different baffle control logics to be used for different clothing materials, thus improving the processing effect.

[0036] In conjunction with the third aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the applied clothing processing device includes the airflow regulating structure described above, and the method further includes:

[0037] When the first running program is executed, the control baffle opens the first air vent and blocks the second and third air vents;

[0038] Obtain the temperature of the drying airflow inside the processing cylinder;

[0039] If the temperature exceeds the preset temperature threshold, the control baffle will open the first air vent, the second air vent, and the third air vent; otherwise, only the first air vent will remain open.

[0040] By using this method, the baffle is controlled by monitoring the temperature of the drying airflow. When the temperature is too high, all three air vents will open, thus preventing the high-temperature drying airflow from damaging the clothes and improving the protection of the clothes.

[0041] In conjunction with the third aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the applied clothing processing device includes the airflow regulating structure described above, and the method further includes:

[0042] When executing the second running program, the humidity inside the processing cylinder is acquired;

[0043] Based on the blocking status of the humidity control baffle on the first, second, and third air vents, the lower the humidity, the larger the blocked area of ​​the first, second, and third air vents.

[0044] Using this method, for clothing for which temperature is not a concern, the control of the baffle is achieved by monitoring the humidity inside the processing drum. When the humidity is low, the sealing area is increased, which helps to concentrate the drying airflow into the processing drum at a certain location, thus speeding up the drying process.

[0045] In conjunction with the third aspect, in one optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the step of blocking the first air vent, the second air vent, and the third air vent according to the humidity control baffle includes:

[0046] When the humidity exceeds a preset first humidity threshold, the control baffle opens the first air vent, the second air vent, and the third air vent;

[0047] When the humidity does not exceed the first humidity threshold but exceeds the preset second humidity threshold, the control baffle partially blocks the first air vent, the second air vent, and the third air vent.

[0048] When the humidity does not exceed the second humidity threshold, the control baffle opens the first air vent and blocks the second and third air vents;

[0049] Wherein, the first humidity threshold is greater than the second humidity threshold.

[0050] By adopting this implementation method, when the humidity is lower than the second humidity threshold, only the first air vent is opened, which helps to allow all the drying airflow to enter from the bottom area of ​​the processing drum, blowing the clothes in the processing drum, thus accelerating the drying speed and uniformity of the clothes.

[0051] In conjunction with the third aspect, in an optional implementation of this application embodiment, before obtaining the fabric material of the clothing, the method further includes:

[0052] If a set drying program is obtained, the set drying program is executed, wherein the drying program includes the first running program and the second running program.

[0053] Using this implementation method, users can also set their own drying program, improving the user experience.

[0054] The technical effects achieved by the second aspect are similar to those achieved by the corresponding technical means in the first aspect, and will not be repeated here. Attached Figure Description

[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. Furthermore, 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 essentially 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 differentness.

[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] Currently, in heat pump dryers, airflow enters from the back of the drum during drying, but the air inlet area is fixed, making it impossible to adjust the airflow inside the drum. If it is necessary to adjust the airflow and wind speed, the only way is to change the fan speed. Furthermore, the fixed airflow will cause clothes to accumulate inside the drum, resulting in poor drying and care effects.

[0064] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide an airflow adjustment structure, a garment processing device, and a garment processing method. Taking this dryer as an example, a baffle 2 is added to the air inlet position on the back panel, and the air inlet of the rear drum is modified into a structure with an adjustable air inlet area. Depending on the different garment materials and the amount of garment, or different programs selected by the user, the air inlet position can be selectively changed by opening and closing the baffle 2 at different positions, allowing air to enter from the bottom of the drum or from the side of the drum. This change in air inlet position and air inlet area can achieve better care effects and improve drying efficiency.

[0065] The airflow regulating structure, clothing processing equipment, and clothing processing method proposed in this application at least solve the following problem:

[0066] 1. Increase the contact area between wet clothes and the drying airflow.

[0067] 2. The air inlet position can be adjusted and controlled.

[0068] 3. Improves clothing care and reduces clothing wear and tear.

[0069] It has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0070] By adding an adjustable baffle 2 to the air inlet position on the rear panel, the area of ​​the air inlet at the rear of the drum can be adjusted. This allows for air intake in different areas, with different areas, and at different speeds, while maintaining the same fan speed. This improves the care of clothing and increases the contact area between the clothing and the airflow. Depending on the user's needs, the air inlet position can be adjusted for targeted, concentrated drying of clothing, improving drying efficiency.

[0071] It includes at least the following inventive points:

[0072] An adjustable baffle 2 is added to the air inlet position of the back panel, and the air inlet of the rear drum is changed to a structure with an adjustable air inlet area. The air inlet position can be adjusted according to user needs or clothing material to achieve local drying, change the air inlet speed and area, and achieve better care effect.

[0073] For ease of understanding, please refer to Figure 1-2 The schematic diagram of the airflow regulating structure shown is applied to a garment processing device with a drying function. The garment processing device includes a processing cylinder 4 and a drying air duct. The drying air duct is used to deliver drying airflow into the processing cylinder 4. The airflow regulating structure includes:

[0074] A partition 1 is disposed between the drying air duct and the processing cylinder 4. At least two independently disposed vents 11 are provided on the partition 1. The drying airflow in the drying air duct enters the processing cylinder 4 through the vents 11.

[0075] A baffle 2 is movably disposed on the partition 1. The baffle 2 is capable of blocking at least one of the ventilation openings 11. When blocking the ventilation opening 11, the baffle 2 is capable of partially or completely blocking the ventilation opening 11.

[0076] In one embodiment, the partition 1 can be a plate-like structure independent of the internal parts of the clothing processing equipment, or it can be a plate-like structure that is originally present inside the clothing processing equipment. That is to say, in one application scenario, the partition 1 of the airflow regulating structure is actually an existing plate in the clothing processing equipment, rather than an additional plate. This helps to reduce the number of parts in the clothing processing equipment and also helps to reduce the space occupied inside the clothing processing equipment.

[0077] In one embodiment, a fan and a heater are typically installed in the drying duct. When the fan starts, it agitates the air within the drying duct to form an airflow. This airflow is heated by the heater, thus forming a drying airflow. The processing cylinder 4 has multiple perforated structures. The drying airflow enters the processing cylinder 4 through these perforated structures and comes into contact with the clothing or other loads inside, thereby dehumidifying the clothing or other loads. This embodiment does not specifically limit the structure of the drying duct or the clothing processing equipment.

[0078] In one embodiment, the baffle 1 can block the drying airflow from flowing into the processing cylinder 4 from the drying air duct. The drying airflow can only flow into the processing cylinder 4 from a certain vent 11 when it is not blocked by the baffle 2. Therefore, the position of the baffle 1 is only required to achieve this effect.

[0079] The number of baffles 2 can be one or more, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0080] In this embodiment, the partition 1 blocks the drying airflow, ensuring that the drying airflow can only enter the processing drum 4 through the vent 11. By providing a movable baffle 2 within the vent 11, the airflow can be adjusted by simply moving the baffle 2 to block part or all of the air inlet, which is simple and convenient. Furthermore, since there are at least two vents 11, and each vent 11 is independently configured, when different vents 11 are blocked, the drying airflow will enter the processing drum 4 from different locations, easily meeting more drying needs and improving the processing effect of the clothes.

[0081] In one optional implementation of this application embodiment, the baffle 2 is slidably disposed on the partition 1, and the baffle 2 includes a first position in which the vent 11 is not blocked and a second position in which the vent 11 is completely blocked;

[0082] As the baffle 2 moves from the first position to the second position, the area of ​​the ventilator 11 that can be ventilated gradually decreases.

[0083] In one embodiment, the sliding arrangement can be achieved by opening a slide rail on the partition 1 or by setting a transmission structure such as a gear rack, as long as the partition 2 can block the corresponding ventilation opening 11. This embodiment does not specifically limit the structure of the sliding arrangement.

[0084] In this implementation, the baffle 2 is slidably mounted on the partition 1, so that when it is necessary to block or open the vent 11, only the baffle 2 needs to be controlled to slide. The sliding arrangement helps to reduce the space occupied by the baffle 2. At the same time, the sliding arrangement allows the baffle 2 to freely block the vent area of ​​the vent 11, improving the flexibility of blocking, thus easily meeting more processing needs of clothing and improving the processing effect of clothing.

[0085] In one optional implementation of this application, there are multiple baffles 2, and the number of baffles 2 is the same as the number of vents 11, with each of the multiple baffles 2 corresponding to a single vent 11.

[0086] In one embodiment, three vents 11 are provided, and three baffles 2 are also provided, with each vent 11 corresponding to a baffle 2 for sealing it.

[0087] In this implementation, the baffle 2 and the ventilation opening 11 are set in a one-to-one correspondence, which makes it easy to make precise adjustments to the blocking status of each ventilation opening 11, thereby more accurately controlling the airflow of the drying air into the processing cylinder 4 and the position of the drying airflow entering the processing cylinder 4.

[0088] In one optional implementation of this application embodiment, there are multiple baffles 2, and the number of baffles 2 is the same as the number of vents 11, with each of the multiple baffles 2 corresponding to a multiple vent 11;

[0089] The baffle 2 is rotatably mounted on the partition 1, and the baffle 2 blocks the corresponding ventilation opening 11 by flipping.

[0090] In one embodiment, the baffle 2 can be rotatably mounted on the partition 1 via a hinge; however, this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0091] In this implementation, the baffle 2 is rotatably mounted on the partition 1, allowing it to flip. When it is necessary to block or open the vent 11, simply control the baffle 2 to flip, making the control process simple and convenient. Furthermore, when the baffle 2 flips to a certain angle, it can also change the flow speed or direction of the drying airflow entering the vent 11, thereby improving the control accuracy of the drying airflow entering the processing cylinder 4.

[0092] In one optional implementation of this application embodiment, the baffle 2 is a telescopic structure or a folding structure, and the ventilation opening 11 is partially or completely blocked by controlling the telescopic or folding of the baffle 2.

[0093] Using this implementation method, the telescopic or folding baffle 2 helps to save space.

[0094] In one optional implementation of this application embodiment, the vent 11 includes a first vent corresponding to the bottom of the processing cylinder 4, a second vent corresponding to the left side of the processing cylinder 4, and a third vent corresponding to the right side of the processing cylinder 4.

[0095] When the first air vent is not completely blocked, the drying airflow passes through the first air vent and reaches the bottom area inside the processing cylinder 4;

[0096] When the second air vent is not completely blocked, the drying airflow passes through the second air vent and reaches the left side area inside the processing cylinder 4;

[0097] When the third air vent is not completely blocked, the drying airflow passes through the third air vent and reaches the right side area inside the processing cylinder 4.

[0098] In this implementation, the first air inlet corresponds to the bottom area of ​​the processing cylinder 4, so that when the drying airflow enters the processing cylinder 4 from the first air inlet, it can blow up the clothes at the bottom of the processing cylinder 4 and dry the inside of the clothes. It also helps the drying airflow in the bottom area to rise and make even contact with the clothes, thereby improving the processing effect of the clothes.

[0099] In one optional implementation of this application, at least one communication port for the flow of the drying airflow is provided on the partition 1 below the vent 11, and a volute 3 is installed at each communication port.

[0100] In one embodiment, the air outlet of the volute 3 faces the vent 11 so as to direct the drying airflow to the vent 11.

[0101] By adopting this implementation method, the volute 3 is provided to improve the flow direction and / or flow velocity of the drying airflow entering the vent 11.

[0102] This application provides a garment processing device, including a processing cylinder 4, a drying duct, and the aforementioned airflow regulating structure. The drying duct is used to deliver drying airflow into the processing cylinder 4.

[0103] In an optional implementation of this application embodiment, the clothing processing device further includes a base 5 and the airflow regulating structure described above; the processing cylinder 4 has a through hole 41 on the side corresponding to the vent 11;

[0104] At least a portion of the drying air duct is formed inside the base 5. The air outlet of the drying air duct inside the base 5 is connected to the connecting port, so that the drying airflow passes through the connecting port, the volute 3, the vent 11 and the through hole 41 in sequence from the base 5 and enters the processing cylinder 4.

[0105] This application provides a clothing processing method, applied to the clothing processing equipment described above, the method comprising:

[0106] Get the material of the clothing;

[0107] The corresponding drying program is executed according to the material of the clothing. Different drying programs control the baffle 2 differently, so that the air inlet position and / or air inlet area of ​​the processing cylinder 4 are different.

[0108] By adopting this implementation method, the appropriate drying program is selected according to the material of the clothing, so that the control of the baffle 2 is different during the drying process, which helps to improve the processing effect of the clothing.

[0109] In one optional implementation of this application embodiment, the step of performing a corresponding drying procedure based on the clothing material includes:

[0110] If the clothing material is the preset target material, the first running program will be executed; otherwise, the second running program will be used.

[0111] The first operating program controls the baffle 2 according to the temperature inside the processing cylinder 4 to change the air inlet position and / or air inlet area, and the second operating program controls the baffle 2 according to the humidity inside the processing cylinder 4 to change the air inlet position and / or air inlet area.

[0112] Using this implementation, a first operating program is used to dry clothing made of the target material, while a second operating program is used to dry clothing made of other materials. Furthermore, the first and second operating programs use different data when controlling the baffle 2, which allows for different control logic for the baffle 2 to be applied to different clothing materials, thus improving the processing effect.

[0113] In one optional implementation of this application embodiment, the applied clothing processing device includes the airflow regulating structure described above, and the method further includes:

[0114] When the first running program is executed, the control baffle 2 opens the first air vent and blocks the second and third air vents;

[0115] Obtain the temperature of the drying airflow inside the processing cylinder 4;

[0116] If the temperature exceeds the preset temperature threshold, the control baffle 2 will open the first air vent, the second air vent, and the third air vent; otherwise, only the first air vent will remain open.

[0117] By using this method, the baffle 2 is controlled by monitoring the temperature of the drying airflow. When the temperature is too high, all three air vents will open, thus preventing the high-temperature drying airflow from damaging the clothes and improving the protection of the clothes.

[0118] In one optional implementation of this application embodiment, the applied clothing processing device includes the airflow regulating structure described above, and the method further includes:

[0119] When executing the second running program, the humidity inside the processing cylinder 4 is obtained;

[0120] According to the blocking status of the humidity control baffle 2 on the first air vent, the second air vent, and the third air vent, the lower the humidity, the larger the blocked area of ​​the first air vent, the second air vent, and the third air vent.

[0121] Using this method, for clothing for which temperature is not a concern, the control of the baffle 2 is achieved by monitoring the humidity inside the processing drum 4. When the humidity is low, the sealing area is increased, which helps to concentrate the drying airflow into the processing drum 4 at a certain position and speeds up the drying process.

[0122] In one optional implementation of this application embodiment, the step of determining the blocking status of the first air vent, the second air vent, and the third air vent based on the humidity control baffle 2 includes:

[0123] When the humidity exceeds a preset first humidity threshold, the control baffle 2 opens the first air vent, the second air vent, and the third air vent;

[0124] When the humidity does not exceed the first humidity threshold but exceeds the preset second humidity threshold, the control baffle 2 partially blocks the first air vent, the second air vent and the third air vent.

[0125] When the humidity does not exceed the second humidity threshold, the control baffle 2 opens the first air vent and blocks the second and third air vents;

[0126] Wherein, the first humidity threshold is greater than the second humidity threshold.

[0127] By adopting this implementation method, when the humidity is lower than the second humidity threshold, only the first air vent is opened, which helps to allow all the drying airflow to enter from the bottom area of ​​the processing drum 4, blowing the clothes in the processing drum 4, accelerating the drying speed and uniformity of the clothes.

[0128] In an optional implementation of this application embodiment, before obtaining the fabric material of the clothing, the method further includes:

[0129] If a set drying program is obtained, the set drying program is executed, wherein the drying program includes the first running program and the second running program.

[0130] Using this implementation method, users can also set their own drying program, improving the user experience.

[0131] In the above embodiments of this application, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own emphasis. Parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to in the relevant descriptions of other embodiments. The steps illustrated in the related flowcharts can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown here. In other words, the order of steps described in the foregoing embodiments is merely an example. Reasonable adjustments to the order of steps based on the content of the embodiments of this application are also within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0132] In one specific implementation of this application embodiment, the airflow regulating structure, clothing processing equipment, and clothing processing method include the following processing steps:

[0133] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the airflow enters the base 5 through the front end of the treatment cylinder 4, passes through the evaporator and condenser, and is then driven by the fan to enter the volute 3. It then enters the treatment cylinder 4 through the vent 11 and the through hole 41, forming a circulation.

[0134] Because of the different materials of clothing, a fixed air intake area of ​​the vent 11 during drying may damage silk, wool, and other garments. Therefore, the air intake area of ​​the vent 11 needs to be changed according to different drying stages. This solution provides an adjustable baffle 2 at each vent 11 between the rear panel of the cabinet and the processing drum 4. The baffle 2 can be rotated and retracted to the edge, thus achieving different air intake positions and areas at different drying stages, resulting in different air intake effects and wind speeds. For example, in the later stages of drying with a small load, the adjustable baffle 2 at both air intakes can be deployed to block the airflow, allowing air to flow in only from one of the vents 11. Figure 2As shown. By adjusting the airflow at the bottom of the treatment drum 4, a small amount of clothing can be suspended inside the treatment drum 4, increasing the contact area with the airflow and thus improving the drying efficiency.

[0135] like Figure 3 As shown, during the heating stage, the air inlet baffle 2 is fully open, and air enters through all three vents 11, allowing the temperature inside the drum to rise evenly. After entering the drying stage, the baffle 2 is adjusted according to the drying program selected by the user. If the user selects standard drying, the humidity inside the drum is monitored during the drying process. When the humidity inside the drum d is greater than 85%, the baffle 2 remains fully open. When the humidity inside the drum d is between 75% and 85%, the opening of the baffle 2 is reduced to cover half of each vent 11. When the humidity inside the drum d is less than 75%, the bottom baffle 2 remains open, and the two top baffles 2 are completely closed, allowing all airflow to enter from the bottom of the drum to avoid clothes piling up and some areas not drying properly.

[0136] When the user selects the drying mode for silk and wool materials, the clothes are usually placed on a hanger for drying. At the beginning, only the bottom baffle 2 is opened, and the airflow enters from the bottom of the drum. When the local temperature t exceeds 40℃, all baffles 2 are opened, and the airflow enters the drum evenly to prevent the local temperature of the load from being too high and damaging the clothes. Conversely, the bottom baffle 2 is kept open, and the airflow enters from the bottom of the drum to blow the load up, drying it from all directions and improving efficiency.
