Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing care machines, and specifically provides a clothing care machine and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] When clothes and quilts are dried in the sun, they will produce a special "sunshine smell". In recent years, scientific research has shown that the smell of sunshine is produced by the chemical reaction of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and other organic compounds when light shines on clothes or quilts.

[0003] In daily life, people usually store clothes after drying in a storage cabinet or a care cabinet. As the storage time goes by, the smell of sunshine after being exposed to the sun will disappear. The prior art uses artificially prepared essences to produce the smell of sunshine, but the smell produced in this way is different from the real smell of sunshine, and it is not the real natural smell of sunshine. The clothing processing device disclosed in the patent document "CN113445280A" includes: a drum, a motor, a heater, and an ultraviolet lamp group located in the drum; the motor drives the drum to rotate according to the instruction to enter the drying and odor-enhancing operation mode; the heater is used to perform a drying operation on the objects to be dried that are turned over in the drum; the ultraviolet lamp group is used to emit ultraviolet rays to irradiate the objects to be dried, and the wavelength of the ultraviolet rays is in the range of 265nm to 390nm. Ultraviolet rays are used to produce the smell of sunshine, but the ultraviolet rays used include the UVA band and the UVB band. When the clothes or the internal parts of the clothes processing device are irradiated for a long time, it is easy to cause aging or damage to the clothes and the parts of the equipment.

[0124] The difference between the clothing care machines of the above four preferred embodiments is only the difference in the light emitted by the light source device 1. The rest of the structures and settings are the same and will not be described in detail here.

[0125] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific location of the light source device 1 and the lens 2 on the clothing care machine and the connection method with the clothing care machine. Figure 1The direction shown is a reference direction. The light source device 1 can be embedded in the inner wall of the cabinet 5, or connected to the cabinet 5 by screws or bolts. The light source device 1 and the lens 2 can also be embedded in the door body 6. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual conditions.

[0126] Furthermore, the clothing care machine includes an adjustment component 3 , and the lens 2 is arranged inside the body of the clothing care machine through the adjustment component 3 . The adjustment component 3 is arranged so that the lens 2 can be movably adjusted relative to the light source device 1 .

[0127] See also Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, as a first preferred embodiment of the adjustment component 3, the adjustment component 3 includes a first sliding member 31, a second sliding member 32, a driving member 33 and a moving member 34, the light source device 1 includes a plurality of light source lamps 11 and a fixed plate 12, the plurality of light source lamps 11 are arranged on the fixed plate 12, a receiving cavity 121 is arranged on the fixed plate 12, the driving member 33 is arranged in the receiving cavity 121, the driving member 33 is connected to the moving member 34, the moving member 34 is connected to the first sliding member 31, the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 are slidably connected, the second sliding member 32 is fixedly connected to the lens 2, and the lens 2 is connected to the driving mechanism (Not shown in the figure), the driving mechanism can be a motor driving mechanism or a hydraulic driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism drives the lens 2 to move forward and backward; a plurality of lamp slots 21 are arranged on the lens 2, and the number of the lamp slots 21 and the light source lamp 11 are the same, and they are arranged one by one, and the driving member 33 can drive the moving member 34 to move up and down. In the initial state, the light source lamp 11 is placed in the lamp slot 21. When the moving member 34 moves upward, the lamp slot 21 and the light source lamp 11 are separated. After the moving member 34 moves a preset distance, the driving mechanism drives the lens 2 to move, and the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 are used to realize the forward and backward movement of the lens 2.

[0128] The first sliding member 31 is a slide groove, and the second sliding member 32 is a slider matching the slide groove. Of course, this is only a preferred setting method. The first sliding member 31 can also be a slide rail, and the second sliding member 32 can be a slider matching the slide rail. The first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 can also be other matching structures. Those skilled in the art can set them according to actual conditions.

[0129] The driving member 33 is a driving motor, which is connected to a screw (not shown in the figure), and the moving member 34 is sleeved on the screw. The moving member 34 is provided with a thread matching the screw. The screw rotates to move the moving member 34 up and down, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the lens 2. Of course, this is only a preferred setting mode. Alternatively, the driving member 33 may be a hydraulic cylinder, and the moving member 34 may be a telescopic rod. The hydraulic cylinder drives the telescopic rod to move telescopically to realize the up and down movement of the lens 2. Those skilled in the art may set it according to actual conditions.

[0130] Multiple lamp grooves 21 correspond to multiple light source lamps 11 one by one, and the lamp grooves 21 are recessed toward the direction of the lens 2. The surface of the lamp grooves 21 is a plurality of diamond-shaped protrusions (not shown in the figure). The plurality of diamond-shaped protrusions are circumferentially arranged around the center of the lamp grooves 21 to form a refraction circle. There are multiple refraction circles, and the centers of the multiple refraction circles are the same. Based on this, the refraction of light is realized through the structure of the multiple lamp grooves 21, so that the angle of the light emitted by the light source lamp 11 is adjusted and then irradiated onto the clothes in the cabinet 5.

[0131] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any limitation on the specific structures of the lens 2 and the lamp trough 21. Any lens structure that can adjust the irradiation angle of light in the prior art can be used, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual conditions.

Based on this adjustment, the correspondence between the light source lamp 11 and the lamp slot 21 and the translation of the lens 2 are changed to achieve the adjustment of the light irradiation angle and the translation of the irradiation area. During the adjustment process, it is sufficient to ensure that the distance that the lens 2 moves forward and backward is a multiple of the distance between the two adjacent lamp slots 21.

[0137] Furthermore, in the present invention, the clothing care machine also includes a seal 4, a gap is formed between the lens 2 and the light source device 1, the seal 4 seals the gap, and the seal 4 is configured to be retractable or deformable; the seal 4 surrounds the light source device 1 and the lens 2 to seal the gap between the light source device 1 and the lens 2, prevent water vapor or water droplets from entering the light source device 1, and prevent malfunctions from occurring.

[0138] exist Figures 2 to 7 In the preferred embodiment, the seal 4 is included. Figures 2 to 6 Not shown in Figure 7 The third preferred embodiment is used as an example to illustrate the seal 4. Figure 7 As shown, the fixing plate 12 is provided with a first connecting portion 122 surrounding the fixing plate 12, and a first fixing portion 41 is provided below the sealing member 4. The first fixing portion 41 is sleeved onto the first connecting portion 122, and a first clamping block 1221 is provided on the first connecting portion 122. The first clamping block 1221 is provided on the first fixing portion 41, and a first clamping hole matching the first clamping block 1221 is provided on the first fixing portion 41. The first connecting portion 122 and the first fixing portion 41 are fixed by the first clamping block 1221 and the first clamping hole, thereby fixing the sealing member 4 to the light source device 1.

[0139] It should be noted that the present invention does not show any connection method between the seal 4 and the light source device 1 and the lens 2. The seal 4 and the fixing plate 12 may be connected by screws, and the seal 4 and the lens 2 may be connected by screws or by bonding. The technicians in this field may set it according to the actual situation.

[0140] Furthermore, the seal 4 is a retractable elastic sealing structure and a cylindrical structure. Of course, this is not restrictive. The seal 4 can also be a waterproof cloth. When the lens 2 and the light source device 1 are not moving relative to each other and are in the original state, the waterproof cloth is in a loose or folded state so as not to hinder the movement of the lens 2.

[0141] See next Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the clothing care machine further includes a heat dissipation device 7, which is connected to the light source device 1 and is used to dissipate heat from the light source device 1. The heat dissipation device 7 can be a fan, a heat dissipation plate, or other types of radiators, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual conditions.

[0142] In addition, in the present invention, the lens 2 is configured to make the irradiation angle of the light source device 1 less than 180 degrees, thereby avoiding waste of light emitted by the light source device 1, making it easier for clothes to produce a sunshine smell, and having a gain effect on the clothes producing a sunshine smell.

[0143] Further, in the present invention, the wavelength of the visible light emitted by the light source device 1 is preferably 400nm-780nm. The use of visible light in this wavelength can make clothes smell like sunshine, and the effect of making clothes smell like sunshine is significant. Of course, this is not restrictive. The specific value of the wavelength of the visible light emitted by the light source device 1 can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions.

[0144] Furthermore, the light source device 1 is configured to have an adjustable illumination intensity. Specifically, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the power of the light source device 1. When the power of the light source device 1 increases, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 increases, and when the power of the light source device 1 decreases, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 decreases.

[0145] In addition, in the present invention, the light source device 1, the lens 2 and the heat dissipation device 7 are all embedded in the inner wall of the cabinet 5. When the lens 2 and the light source device 1 do not move relative to each other and are in the original state, the outer surface of the lens 2 is flush with the surface of the cabinet 5, thereby improving the aesthetics of the equipment.

[0146] In another preferred embodiment, the clothing care machine does not include the adjustment component 3, the lens 2 is fixedly connected to the light source device 1, and the light emitted by the light source device 1 is fixedly adjusted to a certain area in the cabinet 5, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the irradiation area of ​​the light source device 1 can be adjusted to the irradiation area Q through the lens 2; regarding the adjustment angle of the irradiation direction of the light source device 1, those skilled in the art can set it according to actual conditions.

[0147] In another preferred embodiment, the light source device 1 is directly connected to the cabinet 5, and the lens 2 is connected to the cabinet 5 through the adjustment component 3, that is, the fixing plate 12 is a part of the cabinet 5; the light source device 1 can be the fixing plate 12 and the light source lamp 11, or it can be just the light source lamp 11. The specific conductive circuit of the light source device 1 is not shown in the present invention, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual conditions.

[0148] Continue reading Figure 1 A clothing storage cavity 51 is formed inside the cabinet body 5 , and a hanging rod 52 is arranged above the clothing storage cavity 51 , and the hanging rod 52 is used for hanging clothing.

[0149] In summary, the present invention can make clothes smell like sunshine without damaging the clothes, and through the setting of the lens 2, the light emitted by the light source device 1 can be adjusted to a fixed area to improve the lighting effect.

[0150] The light source device 1 of the present invention can emit light that makes clothes smell like sunshine, which is visible light or a combination of visible light and infrared light or a combination of visible light and ultraviolet light in the UVC band or a combination of visible light, infrared light and ultraviolet light in the UVC band.

[0151] Furthermore, the clothes drying machine of the present invention further comprises a controller, which is configured to control all operations of the clothes care machine.

[0152] Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention does not impose any limitations on the specific structure and model of the controller, and the controller can be either an original controller of the clothing care machine or a controller separately configured to execute the control method of the present invention. The technician can set the structure and model of the controller according to actual usage requirements.

[0153] See next Figure 8 ,like Figure 8 As shown, the control method of the clothing care machine of the present invention mainly includes the following steps:

[0154] Step S1: if the light source device is in working state, obtaining the switch state of the door body;

[0155] Step S2: According to the open / closed state of the door, the light source device is adjusted accordingly.

[0156] Specifically, the opening and closing of the light source device 1 is controlled by the controller. When the light source device 1 is in the on state, a signal indicating that it is in the on state will be fed back to the controller. After the light source device 1 is turned on, the opening and closing state of the door body 6 is obtained. The opening and closing state of the door body 6 can be obtained through a sensor. For example, a pressure sensor is arranged on the door body 6. When the door body 6 closes the cabinet body 5, the pressure sensor is squeezed by the cabinet body 5 and transmits a pressure signal, proving that the door body 6 is in the closed state. If the pressure sensor is not subjected to pressure, it proves that the door body 6 is in the open state. Then in step S2, if the door body is in the open state, the light source device 1 is controlled to reduce the brightness or turn off to avoid the strong light of the light source device 1 from damaging the user's eyes, thereby improving the safety of the clothing care machine.

[0157] See next Fig. 9 ,like Fig. 9 As shown, the detailed steps of a preferred embodiment of the control method of the present invention are as follows:

[0158] Step S101: if the light source device is in working state, obtaining the switch state of the door body;

[0159] Step S102: if the door is in an open state, controlling the light source device to reduce the illumination brightness;

[0160] Step S103: obtaining the material of the clothes placed in the cabinet;

[0161] Step S104: controlling the irradiation time of the light source device according to the material of the clothing;

[0162] Step S1041: If the material of the clothing is cotton, controlling the irradiation time of the light source device to last for a first preset time period;

[0163] Step S1042: If the material of the clothing is silk or fur, controlling the irradiation time of the light source device to last for a second preset time period;

[0164] Step S105: controlling the illumination intensity of the light source device according to the material of the clothing;

[0165] Step S1051: if the material of the clothing is cotton, controlling the illumination intensity of the light source device to be a first illumination intensity;

[0166] Step S1052: if the material of the clothing is silk or fur, controlling the illumination intensity of the light source device to be a second illumination intensity;

[0167] Step S106: If the door is in a closed state, the illumination brightness of the light source device is controlled to be adjusted to a preset brightness.

[0168] In step S101, the opening and closing of the light source device 1 is controlled by the controller. When the light source device 1 is in the on state, a signal of being in the on state is fed back to the controller. After the light source device 1 is turned on, the opening and closing state of the door body 6 is obtained. The opening and closing state of the door body 6 can be obtained through a sensor. For example, a pressure sensor is set on the door body 6. When the door body 6 closes the cabinet body 5, the pressure sensor is squeezed by the cabinet body 5 and transmits a pressure signal, which proves that the door body 6 is in the closed state. If the pressure sensor is not subjected to pressure, it proves that the door body 6 is in the open state. If the door body 6 is in the open state, enter step S102 to control the light source device 1 to reduce the illumination brightness to avoid the strong light of the light source device 1 from damaging the user's eyes, so as to provide a user with a comfortable and safe environment. Improve the safety of the clothing care machine; if the door body 6 is in a closed state, enter step S106, and control the illumination brightness of the light source device 1 to be adjusted to a preset brightness. Specifically, after the light source device 1 is turned on, the controller controls the light source device 1 to illuminate the clothes in the cabinet 5 with a preset brightness. If the door body 6 is not opened during the operation of the light source device 1, the controller controls the light source device 1 to always work with the preset brightness; during the operation of the light source device 1, if the door body 6 is opened by the user to take out some clothes, and then the door body 6 is closed, then after the door body 6 is closed, the illumination brightness of the light source device 1 is adjusted to the preset brightness. When the door body 6 is opened, the illumination brightness of the light source device 1 is lower than the preset brightness.

[0169] Based on the above arrangement, the clothes can produce the smell of sunshine to the greatest extent without harming the user's eyes.

[0170] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any limitation on the specific value of the preset brightness. The preset brightness can be set by the user through the operation panel or controller of the clothing care machine, or it can be a fixed value set by a technician in this field.

[0171] When the light source device 1 is turned on, step S103 is entered. In step S103, the material of the clothes placed in the cabinet 5 is obtained, and the material of the clothes hung on the clothes drying rod 7 is obtained. The user can manually select or input the material of the clothes through the controller or control panel of the clothes drying machine. Based on this, the controller receives and obtains the material of the clothes inside the clothing care machine. The material of the clothes can also be obtained through a clothing material recognition device in the prior art.

[0172] In step S104, the irradiation time of the light source device 1 is controlled accordingly according to the material of the clothes. The light source device 1 is controlled to irradiate for different times according to different materials. Those skilled in the art can set the irradiation time of the light source device 1 according to actual conditions. Step S104 includes step S1041 and step S1042. If the material of the clothes is cotton, step S1041 is entered to control the irradiation time of the light source device 1 to last for a first preset time and then turn off. The first preset time is 30 minutes to avoid long-term irradiation of cotton clothes and damage to the cotton clothes. If the material of the clothes is silk or fur, step S1042 is entered to control the irradiation time of the light source device 1 to last for a second preset time, which is less than the first preset time.

[0173] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific values ​​of the first preset time length and the second preset time length. The first preset time length can also be 28 minutes, 29 minutes, or other values. The second preset time length only needs to be less than the first preset time length. Technical personnel in this field can set it according to actual conditions.

[0174] In step S105, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 is controlled accordingly according to the material of different clothes. If the material of the clothes is not easily exposed to strong light, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 is reduced, and the power of the light source device 1 is controlled to be reduced. If the material of the clothes is easily exposed to strong light, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 is increased, and the power of the light source device 1 is controlled to be increased. Technical personnel in this field can set it according to actual conditions.

[0175] Further, step S105 includes step S1051 and step S1052. In step S1051, if the material of the clothes is cotton, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 is controlled to be a first illumination intensity. In step S1052, if the material of the clothes is silk or fur, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 is controlled to be a second illumination intensity, wherein the first illumination intensity is an illumination intensity at which cotton clothes will not fade or be damaged after long-term exposure, and the second illumination intensity is less than the first illumination intensity.

[0176] In another preferred embodiment, step S105 includes only one of step S1051 and step S1052.

[0177] In another preferred example, step S104 includes only one of step S1041 and step S1042.

[0178] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, although in the preferred embodiment, the door body 1 is in an open state and the light source device 1 is controlled to reduce the illumination brightness, this is not restrictive. It is also possible that when the door body 1 is in an open state, the light source device 1 is controlled to be directly turned off, which can still protect the user's eyes from harm. Those skilled in the art can set it themselves according to actual conditions.

[0179] So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments.
