DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The technical features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0028] All directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0029] In addition, in the present invention, the descriptions such as "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0030] The hanging and drying of clothes in a clothing care machine is also an important part of the care experience. In conventional products, the hangers 43 are generally in a static and swinging state after hanging. However, in order to accommodate large clothes such as pants and skirts, the care machine must be of a considerable height, which makes it very laborious for users to hang clothes and the experience is extremely poor. At the same time, most products are dried through bottom air circulation, and the drying effect is poor. To this end, the applicant proposes the following technical solution:

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1-2As shown, a clothing care machine includes a hanger device 4 and an air intake system 7. The hanger device 4 includes a detachably connected air duct 42 and a hanger 43. An air flow channel is arranged in the hanger 43. The inlet end of the air duct 42 is connected to the air intake system 7. The hanger 43 is located below the air duct 42 and can move up and down relative to the air duct 42 so that the air flow channel can be selectively connected to the air duct 42.

[0033] This arrangement can deliver hot air directly into the care cavity 5 through the air duct 42 to dry the surface of the clothes to be cared for, or deliver hot air into the clothes to be cared for through the connected hanger 43 as needed during the care process; when hanging clothes, the hanger 43 can be moved downward to facilitate user operation. The specific structure and assembly relationship of the air inlet system 7 are prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] As an example of the present invention, the clothing care machine also includes a water supply component 1, and the water supply component 1 is provided with a reversing valve 13, and the reversing valve 13 is respectively connected to a boiler 2 and a heating device 3 arranged in parallel, and the outlet ends of the boiler 2 and the heating device 3 are connected to a hanger device 4 for spraying steam for clothing care.

[0035] By providing a heating device 3 connected in parallel with the boiler 2 to shorten the time for generating steam, the required waiting time can be shortened, which can further improve the user experience. Preferably, the inlet end of the heating device 3 is respectively connected to the air inlet system 7 and the reversing valve 13, so as to selectively introduce steam or hot air into the hanger device 4. The heating device 3 can be used for auxiliary heating when hot air is introduced, and can effectively shorten the waiting time during steam care.

[0036] Preferably, the clothing care machine further comprises a housing, a care cavity 5 for holding the clothing to be cared for is arranged in the housing, the care cavity 5 has an air outlet, the water supply assembly 1 is located at the bottom of the care cavity 5 and comprises a connected water tank 11 and a water pump 12, which are used to supply water to the boiler 2 and the heating device 3. The air outlet can be connected to the air inlet system 7 to realize heat recovery, or can be directly connected to the outside.

[0037] As an example of the present invention, the water pump 12 can be an electromagnetic pump or a peristaltic pump, etc. The number of the water pumps 12 can be 2, which can supply water to the boiler 2 and the heating device 3 separately, or the water inlet direction can be controlled by a pump body + a one-way valve combination. Preferably, the clothing care machine also includes an automation module 6 that can move up and down, and the hanger device 4 is located on the automation module 6. The specific structure of the automation module 6 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0038] Its working principle is as follows: water is simultaneously or separately introduced into the boiler 2 and the heating device 3 from the water tank 11 through the water pump 12, and the boiler 2 and the heating device 3 start to heat to generate steam; while generating steam, the heating device 3 outputs steam to the hanger device 4 to perform pre-care for the target clothing; after the boiler 2 is heated to the set pressure or temperature, a large amount of high-temperature steam is output through the boiler 2 for secondary care; thereafter, the clothes that have completed steam care are dried by the air intake system 7, and the relative position of the hanger 43 is adjusted to achieve the introduction of hot air into the care cavity 5, that is, the outside of the clothes to be dried and / or the inside of the clothes to be dried for drying.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] By setting a heating device 3 in parallel with the boiler 2, the waiting time when the clothing care machine is used can be shortened, but the added heating device 3 not only increases the hardware cost, but also requires additional space, which is obviously not conducive to the trend of equipment miniaturization. To this end, the applicant improves the boiler 2 based on the technology of Example 1:

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, a boiler 2 is provided with a water inlet pipe 22 connected to a water supply assembly 1 and a steam pipe 24 connected to a hanger device 4, a first heating pipe 21 is provided inside the boiler 2, a closed shell 31 is provided around the first heating pipe 21, a water inlet 311 is provided at the bottom of the shell 31, an exhaust pipe 312 and a return pipe 313 are provided at the top of the shell 31, the outlet end of the exhaust pipe 312 is connected to the steam pipe 24, the inlet end of the return pipe 313 is connected to the exhaust pipe 312, and the outlet end of the return pipe 313 is located in the boiler 2; the boiler 2 also includes a valve assembly for switching the mode of generating steam.

[0042] By integrating the heating device 3 into the boiler 2, the control valve assembly can deliver steam to the hanger device 4 within the normal waiting time to achieve pre-care; this solution does not require improvement of other structures of the existing clothing care device, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the clothing care machine. Compared with the cavity of the boiler 2, the heating volume formed by the shell 31 is smaller, and the heating power can be adjusted according to the length of the first heating tube 21, so that the water in the shell 31 is quickly heated at several times or dozens of times the speed and generates steam, thereby effectively shortening the waiting time of the clothing care machine.

[0043] As an example of the present invention, the valve assembly includes a first valve 25 located on the steam pipe 24 for controlling the on-off of the water inlet 311, and the valve assembly also includes a second valve 314 located on the exhaust pipe 312 and a third valve 315 located on the return pipe 313. Preferably, the first valve 25 is located between the outlet end of the exhaust pipe 312 and the housing 31, and the second valve 314 is located between the inlet end of the return pipe 313 and the steam pipe 24. This arrangement has a simple structure, can realize switching between different steam generation modes, and is conducive to rapid and high-quality steam generation.

[0044] Specifically, after the clothing care machine is started, the first valve 25 and the second valve 314 are closed, and the third valve 315 is opened. After the first heating tube 21 is energized, the water in the boiler is heated in a conventional manner; and in the shell 31, relative to the covered first heating tube 21, the volume of the water to be heated is small and is quickly heated to generate steam. Since the shell 31 is full of water or air in the initial stage, the third valve 315 is opened to allow the generated steam, water mixture or air to flow back into the boiler 2 again, without affecting the normal heating of the boiler 2.

[0045] In a short period of time after the clothing care machine is started, the speed at which steam is generated in the shell 31 is greater than the speed at which steam is generated by the boiler 2 as a whole. The shell 31 generates positive pressure, thereby lowering the liquid level in the shell 31, effectively preventing hot water from entering the exhaust pipe 312 along with the high-temperature steam. At this time, the third valve 315 is closed and the second valve 314 is opened, and the shell 31 is used to normally provide steam to the hanger device 4.

[0046] Since the amount of steam generated in the shell 31 is limited, it cannot meet the steam flow demand of the clothing care machine; therefore, when the steam in the boiler 2 reaches the standard, the first valve 25 and the third valve 315 are opened and the second valve 314 is closed, and steam is normally provided to the hanger device 4 through the steam pipe 24 for clothing care.

[0047] Preferably, the first valve 25, the second valve 314, and the third valve 315 are located on the outside of the boiler 2. This arrangement is convenient for production and assembly, and the valve components do not need to be immersed in water for a long time, so they have a long service life.

[0048] Preferably, the housing 31 and the boiler 2 are provided with a first pressure gauge and a second pressure gauge, respectively, for detecting the pressure in the housing 31 and the boiler 2. Preferably, the return pipe 313 is connected to the water supply assembly 1 through a connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe is provided with a control valve. This arrangement enables the water supply assembly 1 to inject water into the boiler 2 through the return pipe 313 and / or the exhaust pipe 312 into the housing 31, thereby avoiding air from being retained in the housing 31, and providing a good user experience.

[0049] Preferably, a drain port 23 is provided at the bottom of the boiler 2, and the outlet end of the return pipe 313 is close to the side wall of the boiler 2 and is arranged in a horizontal direction. This arrangement can use the steam and water mixture ejected by the return pipe 313 to impact the water in the boiler 2 and generate a driving force, so that the water in the boiler 2 rotates, which is conducive to the concentration of scale and the like at the middle position of the bottom of the boiler 2 and is convenient for discharge from the drain port 23. This arrangement can enable the boiler 2 to have a certain self-cleaning ability, high steam generation efficiency and long service life.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the present invention also provides a hanger device 4, including a moving component 41 and a detachably connected air duct 42 and a hanger 43, wherein the hanger 43 is located below the air duct 42 and an air flow channel is arranged inside, and the moving component 41 is used to drive the hanger 43 to move up and down relative to the air duct 42, so that the outlet end of the air duct 42 is selectively connected to the hanger 43.

[0052] This arrangement can deliver hot air directly into the care cavity 5 through the air duct 42 to dry the surface of the clothes to be cared for, or deliver hot air to the inside of the clothes to be cared for through the connected hanger 43 as needed during the care process; when hanging clothes, the hanger 43 can be moved downward to facilitate user operation.

[0053] As an example of the present invention, the motion component 41 includes a fixed seat 411, a telescopic frame 412 is arranged in the fixed seat 411, one end of the telescopic frame 412 is connected to the transmission structure 413, and the other end of the telescopic frame 412 is detachably connected to the hanger 43. The structure of the arrangement is simple and convenient for production and processing. Preferably, a hook 4121 is arranged at the lower end of the telescopic frame 412, and a hanging rod 433 is arranged on the hanger 43, and the hanging rod 433 is detachably connected to the hook 4121; the telescopic frame 412 is provided with a guide surface 4122, and the guide surface 4122 is located on the upper side of the hook 4121. This arrangement facilitates the taking and placing of the hanger 43 and is consistent with the user's conventional operating habits, and the user experience is good; at the same time, the guide surface 4122 is used to smoothly hang the hanger 43 into the hook 4121 to prevent the clothes from swinging back and forth with the hanger 43 during the nursing process.

[0054] As an example of the present invention, the fixing seat 411 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the telescopic frame 412. This arrangement can use the fixing seat 411 to guide the operation of the telescopic frame 412, and the interior of the fixing seat 411 can be used as a accommodating space for the telescopic frame 412. Preferably, the horizontal cross-section of the fixing seat 411 is rectangular. This arrangement has a simple structure and is easy to produce and process.

[0055] As an example of the present invention, the transmission structure 413 includes a motor 4131, a coupling 4132, a screw rod 4133, and a nut 4134 connected in sequence, wherein the motor 4131 is located above the fixing seat 411, and the nut 4134 is sleeved outside the screw rod 4133 and connected to the telescopic frame 412. The structure is simple and occupies little space, and the transmission is stable and reliable.

[0056] The air duct 42 includes an air inlet duct 421, a first air outlet duct 422, and a second air outlet duct 423. The first air outlet duct 422 and the second air outlet duct 423 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the telescopic frame 412 and / or the fixed seat 411 and are both connected to the air inlet duct 421, and together introduce hot air into the hanger 43. The structure of the arrangement is simple and can simultaneously introduce hot air into the hanger 43, so that the inside of the clothes is evenly dried. The air duct 42 can be fixedly assembled on the outside of the fixed seat 411 or the telescopic frame 412, or can be fixedly connected to the nursing cavity 5, and the inlet end of the air inlet duct 421 is connected to the air inlet system 7.

[0057] As an example of the present invention, part of the first air outlet 422 extends into the hanger 43 , and a through hole 424 is provided at one end of the first air outlet 422 close to the hanger 43 . The through hole 424 is located on one side of the first air outlet 422 and can be selectively blocked by the hanger 43 .

[0058] When the retractable frame 412 moves up and down, the hot air entering the air duct 42 can enter the inside of the clothes from the hanger 43, and can selectively enter the care cavity 5 from the through hole 424 to transport the hot air flow to the outside of the clothes, thereby drying the clothes from both sides at the same time.

[0059] The shape of the through hole 424 can be set to the original shape or the long strip shape as required; preferably, the through hole 424 is long strip shape and extends along the length direction of the telescopic frame 412, that is, the vertical direction. This setting can judge the drying condition of the clothes according to the air flow humidity at the air outlet position and the air flow humidity in the care cavity 5, thereby adjusting the stroke of the telescopic frame 412, thereby optimizing the proportion of the air flow directly entering the care cavity 5 and the air outlet in the hanger 43, further improving the drying effect and shortening the drying time. The structure of the second air outlet 423 is the same as that of the first air outlet 422, and will not be repeated here.

[0060] As an example of the present invention, a first humidity sensor is provided at the air outlet of the nursing cavity 5, and its measured value is A1. A second humidity sensor is provided on the support rod 434 of the clothes hanger 43, and its measured value is A2. A1 and A2 have been converted to the same temperature value and are comparable. When A1<A2, the clothes hanger 43 is controlled to move upward and connect to the air duct 42. When A1>A2, the clothes hanger 43 is controlled to move downward and separate from the air duct 42. The hot air flow is directly transported to the nursing cavity 5 through the air duct 42. When A1=A2, it is determined whether A2 is equal to the preset value A. 预 If the condition is satisfied, the drying ends, and if not, the existing operation continues. Preferably, when A2<A1≤1.1*A2, the hanger 43 is controlled to move under the through hole 424, so that the airflow in the air duct 42 is discharged from the through hole 424 and the hanger 43 at the same time; and when A1>1.1*A2, the hanger 43 continues to move downward and is completely separated from the air duct 42, so that the hot air flow is directly transported to the care cavity 5 through the air duct 42. This setting can realize the automatic control of the clothing care machine, with a simple structure and convenient production and processing.

[0061] As an example of the present invention, the hanger 43 is provided with a first air duct 431 and a second air duct 432, the first air duct 431 and the second air duct 432 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the hanger 43, the air inlet of the first air duct 431 can partially extend into the first air outlet 422, and the air inlet of the second air duct 432 can partially extend into the second air outlet 423. The structure of the arrangement is simple, and air can be discharged from both sides of the hanger 43 to the inside of the clothes at the same time, and the coverage area of ​​the hot air flow is large.

[0062] Preferably, a support rod 434 is provided at the lower part of the hanger 43, and the support rod 434 is located between the first air duct 431 and the second air duct 432. This arrangement can improve the mechanical strength of the hanger 43 and increase the number of clothes that can be hung. Preferably, the support rod 434 and the hanger 43 are integrally formed, which is convenient for production and processing.

[0063] As an example of the present invention, the hanger device 4 is provided with a position sensor 44, and the position sensor 44 is located at one end of the telescopic frame 412 close to the hanger 43, and is used to detect whether it is at the origin position. The position sensor 44 can be a contact switch or a photoelectric sensor, preferably a contact switch, and its specific structure and position relationship are prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0064] When the machine is turned on for care, it is detected whether the hanger 43 is at the origin position. If so, the hanger 43 is controlled to move downward to the lowest point. After the clothes are hung, the hanger 43 is controlled to start moving upward and return to the origin position. When the care is completed, the hanger 43 moves downward to the lowest point so that the user can take it down. For example, in the drying stage of the care process, the hanger 43 is connected to the air duct 42 to pass hot air into the inside of the clothes for drying. After about 25S, the hanger 43 moves downward and is separated from the air duct 42. At this time, the air duct 42 directly transports hot air to the north and south of the care cavity 5 to dry the outside of the clothes; or in the drying process, the hanger 43 can be driven by the motion component 41 to move up and down to achieve the shaking of the clothes to be washed and cared for, improve the drying efficiency and make the clothing fibers looser.

[0065] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
