[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] In related technologies, garment care devices with clothing care functions typically use high-temperature steam generated by a steam generator to care for garments. However, for some delicate fabrics, such as silk, prolonged exposure to high-temperature steam can denature the proteins on the silk surface, causing the silk to lose its luster. Therefore, high-temperature steam can cause irreversible damage to delicate fabrics, severely reducing the user experience.

[0040] To address the technical problem of damage to delicate fabrics during high-temperature steam treatment, this embodiment proposes a steam treatment method for garment processing equipment. The garment processing equipment includes a first steam treatment mode, which includes:

[0041] Control the water to enter the outer cylinder, and when the water level in the outer cylinder is at the heating water level, control the heating device located at the bottom of the outer cylinder to heat the water and generate steam.

[0042] Obtain the water temperature and determine the rotation strategy of the inner cylinder based on the water temperature;

[0043] During the process of controlling the heating device to continuously heat the water, the inner cylinder is controlled to rotate according to the rotation strategy;

[0044] Among them: the heating water level is higher than the heating device but not higher than the lowest position of the inner cylinder, and the highest water temperature in the first steam care mode is lower than the boiling point of water.

[0045] This embodiment heats the water at the bottom of the outer drum and controls the water temperature to below the boiling point to generate low-temperature steam. This low-temperature steam is then used for steam care of clothing, solving the problem of high-temperature steam damaging delicate fabrics. Furthermore, this application also addresses the issues of insufficient low-temperature steam output and slow steam generation rate by controlling the rotation of the inner drum based on the water temperature, thereby improving the steam care effect of low-temperature steam on clothing.

[0046] The technical solution of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and examples can be combined with each other.

[0047] First, a brief introduction will be given to the subject implementing the steam care method in this embodiment.

[0048] The steam care method in this embodiment is applied to a garment processing device, which can be a washing machine, washer-dryer, or dryer with a steam care function. The garment processing device can be either a drum type or a top-loading type. The structure of the garment processing device is described below using a drum washing machine as an example:

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a housing 1, an outer cylinder 2, an inner cylinder 3, and a heating device 4. The housing 1 includes a front panel 11, which has a display panel 12 that displays the garment's operating status and parameters. The outer cylinder 2 is located inside the housing 1, and the inner cylinder 3 is rotatably located inside the outer cylinder 2. The inner cylinder 3 has multiple flow holes on its wall, allowing airflow or water to pass between the inner cylinder 3 and the outer cylinder 2. The inner wall of the inner cylinder 3 has lifting ribs 31, which, when rotated, rub, stir, and beat the garments. The heating device 4 is located between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3, at the bottom of the outer cylinder 2. In a preferred embodiment, a cavity 21 is formed at the bottom of the outer cylinder 2, and the heating device 4 is located within the cavity 21. For example, the heating device 4 is an electric heating element.

[0050] The steam care method of this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0051] According to an exemplary embodiment of this application, this embodiment proposes a steam care method for a garment treatment device. The garment treatment device includes a first steam care mode, which is a mode of steam care for garments using low-temperature steam. Low-temperature steam is steam generated when the water temperature is below its boiling point. (Refer to...) Figure 2 The flowchart shown illustrates that the first steam care mode includes the following steps:

[0052] S21. Control the water to enter the outer cylinder. When the water level in the outer cylinder is at the heating water level, control the heating device located at the bottom of the outer cylinder to heat the water and generate steam.

[0053] In this embodiment, since water evaporation naturally generates steam from bottom to top, in the first steam care mode, water is introduced into the outer cylinder, and the water inside the outer cylinder is heated to generate steam. As the steam flows from bottom to top, it first enters the inner cylinder from the bottom of the outer cylinder through the flow holes, and then flows through the clothes in the inner cylinder to the upper part of the outer cylinder, achieving comprehensive steam care for the clothes. The heating device is located at the bottom of the outer cylinder and directly heats the water to generate steam when the water level in the outer cylinder is at the heating level.

[0054] The heating water level is higher than the heating device but not higher than the lowest point of the inner drum to prevent the heating device from dry burning and reduce safety hazards. The first water level is a water temperature range; if the water level drops below the minimum heating level due to continuous heating, water must be added to the outer drum to reach the maximum heating level. In the first steam care mode, the highest water temperature must be lower than the boiling point of water to generate low-temperature steam for steam care of clothing, avoiding damage to the fabric from high-temperature steam.

[0055] It should be noted that in the first steam care mode of this embodiment, in order to prevent water from flowing through the inner drum into the bottom of the outer drum and wetting the clothes in the inner drum during the process of water entering the outer drum, a water inlet pipe can be connected to the lower part of the outer drum near the bottom of the outer drum to directly supply water to the bottom of the outer drum, and the water will not enter the inner drum.

[0056] S22. Obtain the water temperature and determine the rotation strategy of the inner cylinder based on the water temperature.

[0057] In this embodiment, the water temperature is acquired in real time or at set intervals during the process of the heating device heating water to generate steam. The conversion of water into low-temperature steam is typically slow and takes a long time; therefore, to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of steam treatment, a large amount of low-temperature steam needs to be obtained in a short period of time.

[0058] Heating the water accelerates its evaporation rate, while the rotation of the inner cylinder drives airflow around it, thus increasing the air velocity above the water surface at the bottom of the outer cylinder and accelerating steam evaporation. Since low-temperature steam is generated when the water temperature is below boiling point, simply heating the water results in a slow generation rate and uneven distribution of the low-temperature steam between the inner and outer cylinders. Similarly, simply increasing the air velocity above the water surface at the bottom of the outer cylinder also results in slow low-temperature steam generation.

[0059] Therefore, this embodiment combines heating with inner cylinder rotation. Within the water temperature range for generating low-temperature steam, it repeatedly increases water temperature and air velocity to maximize the water evaporation rate. However, a high air velocity cannot be maintained above the water surface continuously during water heating, as this would lower the water temperature, inhibit the rate of water heating, and slow down the overflow rate of low-temperature steam. Therefore, this embodiment determines the inner cylinder rotation strategy based on the water temperature to achieve rapid overflow of low-temperature steam at different water temperatures.

[0060] S23. During the process of controlling the heating device to continuously heat the water, the inner cylinder is controlled to rotate according to the rotation strategy.

[0061] In this embodiment, the heating device continuously heats the water during the steam generation process. While the heating device heats the water to generate steam, after determining the inner drum rotation strategy based on the current water temperature, the inner drum is controlled to rotate according to the strategy. This allows for the continuous and rapid overflow of low-temperature steam, ensuring a low-temperature steam care effect on clothing.

[0062] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 3 The flowchart, which determines the rotation strategy of the inner cylinder based on the water temperature, includes the following steps:

[0063] S31. When the water temperature rises by a set temperature value, the target rotation speed and target rotation duration are determined based on the water temperature.

[0064] S32, Control the inner cylinder to rotate at the target speed for the target rotation time.

[0065] In this embodiment, since the continuous rotation of the inner cylinder during the heating process will lower the water temperature and slow down the overflow rate of low-temperature steam, this embodiment determines the rotation strategy of the inner cylinder only when the water temperature rises to a set temperature. Specifically, the target rotation speed and target rotation duration of the inner cylinder are determined based on the water temperature, and then the inner cylinder is controlled to rotate at the target speed for the target duration. After the inner cylinder rotates at the target speed for the target duration, it stops. At this time, the water temperature is still gradually rising. If the water temperature rises to the set temperature value again, the target rotation speed and target rotation duration are determined again based on the current water temperature until the water temperature reaches the highest temperature that can generate low-temperature steam.

[0066] Specifically, determining the target rotation speed and target rotation duration based on water temperature includes: determining the target rotation speed and target rotation duration corresponding to the current water temperature based on the correspondence between water temperature ranges and target rotation speeds and target rotation durations. A higher water temperature range corresponds to a higher target rotation speed; and / or, a higher water temperature range corresponds to a higher target rotation duration.

[0067] This is because at lower water temperatures, a high airflow velocity cannot be applied to the water surface, as this would severely inhibit the initial rate of water temperature rise. Conversely, at higher water temperatures, a high airflow velocity at the surface will not cause significant cooling and can even facilitate the escape of water vapor. Therefore, the higher the water temperature, the more vigorous the movement of water molecules, and the faster the water vapor escapes. Consequently, a higher airflow velocity is needed to accelerate the escape of water vapor, which translates to a higher rotational speed of the inner cylinder, and a longer duration of continuous rotation. Thus, different airflow velocities correspond to different target rotational speeds and durations of rotation for the inner cylinder in different water temperature ranges.

[0068] In a specific example, as shown in the table below, the water temperature range includes a first water temperature range T1, a second water temperature range T2, and a third water temperature range T3. The target rotation speed corresponding to the first water temperature range is the first rotation speed V1, the target rotation speed corresponding to the second water temperature range is the second rotation speed V2, and the target rotation speed corresponding to the third water temperature range is the third rotation speed V3; the target rotation duration corresponding to the first water temperature range is t1, the target rotation duration corresponding to the second water temperature range is t2, and the target rotation duration corresponding to the third water temperature range is t3, where: T1 < T2 < T3, T1 < T2 < T3, t1 < t2 < t3.

[0069] Table of Correspondences between Different Water Temperature Ranges and Target Rotation Speed ​​and Target Rotation Duration

[0070] Water temperature range Target speed Target rotation time First water temperature range T1 First rotational speed V1 t1 Second water temperature range T2 Second rotational speed V2 t2 Third water temperature range T3 Third speed V3 t3

[0071] In one optional implementation of this embodiment, controlling the inner drum to rotate at a target speed for a target rotation time includes: controlling the inner drum to rotate alternately in both directions at the target speed for the target rotation time, thereby changing the distribution position of the clothes inside the drum, so that the steam can act on all the clothes inside the drum, and at the same time promoting the uniform distribution of steam in the inner and outer drums. In other possible implementations, the inner drum can also be controlled to rotate in one direction, which can also accelerate the overflow rate of low-temperature steam and promote the uniform distribution of steam to a certain extent.

[0072] In one optional implementation of this embodiment, the target rotational speed is ≥75 rpm. This embodiment, by controlling the inner cylinder to rotate at a higher speed, facilitates the rapid filling of the gap between the inner and outer cylinders with low-temperature steam, thereby increasing the rate at which low-temperature steam enters the inner cylinder. Further, alternatively, 300 rpm ≥ the target rotational speed ≥ 75 rpm.

[0073] In one optional implementation of this embodiment, the steam treatment method further includes: when the water temperature is higher than the maximum water temperature, the water temperature has reached its boiling point, and the steam generated by heating the water is high-temperature steam, which does not meet the low-temperature steam requirement of the first steam treatment mode. Therefore, the heating device is controlled to stop heating. If the end time of the first steam treatment mode has not been reached, the heating device can be controlled to heat the water again after the water temperature drops to the set temperature. Optionally, the set temperature is at least 5°C to 10°C lower than the maximum temperature. If the end time of the first steam treatment mode has been reached, the first steam treatment mode is directly terminated.

[0074] The first steam care mode of this embodiment is applicable to steam care of any garment. The first steam care mode can be executed directly when the user selects a steam care program. Alternatively, the garment treatment device includes multiple steam care modes, and the steam care mode to be executed can be determined according to the specific situation.

[0075] In one example, the first steam care mode is executed based on the user's selected steam care mode command. For instance, the control terminal of the garment processing equipment has a control button for the first steam care mode, and the first steam care mode is executed after the user issues a control command for the first steam care mode through the control button.

[0076] In another example, combining Figure 4 The flowchart shows that the steam care method also includes the following steps:

[0077] S41. Before steam treatment, determine the fabric of the garment;

[0078] S42. If the clothing material is the target clothing material, execute the first steam care mode.

[0079] In this embodiment, the clothing material can be input by the user through a control terminal or detected and identified by the material detection device of the clothing processing equipment. After determining the clothing material, it is compared with the target clothing material stored in the controller. The target clothing material is one that high-temperature steam can damage, such as silk. If the clothing material matches the target clothing material, the first steam care mode is automatically executed.

[0080] In other feasible implementations, the garment treatment equipment also includes a second steam care mode, which utilizes high-temperature steam to treat the garments. The high-temperature steam can be generated by a steam generator installed in the garment treatment equipment, or by heating water to a boiling point. During steam care, the second steam care mode can be executed according to the user's selected steam care mode command, or it can be automatically activated if the garment material is suitable for high-temperature steam care.

[0081] 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.

[0082] In one specific implementation of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 The flowchart illustrates the steam care method for garment processing equipment, which includes the following steps:

[0083] S501, Power on, receive steam care program instructions, enter S502;

[0084] S502, Execute the first steam care mode;

[0085] S503, Water is introduced into the outer cylinder to the heating water level, then proceeds to S504;

[0086] S504, Control the heating device to heat water to generate steam, which enters S505;

[0087] S505: Obtain water temperature, determine whether the water temperature has risen to the set temperature value. If the result is yes, proceed to S506. If the result is no, return to S504.

[0088] S507. Determine the current water temperature range; if the water temperature is in the first water temperature range, proceed to S5071; if the water temperature is in the second water temperature range, proceed to S5072; if the water temperature is in the third water temperature range, proceed to S5073.

[0089] S5071, Control the inner cylinder to rotate alternately forward and backward at the first speed for a first duration, then proceed to S508;

[0090] S5072, Control the inner cylinder to rotate alternately forward and backward at the second speed for a second duration, then proceed to S508;

[0091] S5073, Control the inner cylinder to rotate alternately forward and backward at the third speed for a second duration, then proceed to S508;

[0092] S508. Determine whether the current water temperature has reached the maximum water temperature of the first steam care mode. If the result is yes, proceed to S509. If the result is no, return to S503.

[0093] S509. End the first steam care mode and enter S510;

[0094] S510, Enter the drying stage, and turn off the machine after the drying stage is completed.

[0095] Wherein: first rotational speed < second rotational speed < third rotational speed; first duration < second duration < third duration.

[0096] In summary, the steam treatment method of this embodiment increases the overflow rate of low-temperature steam by continuously heating the water with the heating device and controlling the rotation of the inner cylinder to accelerate the air flow on the liquid surface inside the outer cylinder while the water is being heated by the heating device to generate low-temperature steam. This embodiment also determines the rotation strategy of the inner cylinder based on the water temperature to avoid the water temperature dropping due to continuous rotation of the inner cylinder, which would reduce the overflow rate. This ensures rapid overflow of low-temperature steam at different water temperatures, improving the steam treatment effect and efficiency.

When the one or more processors execute the program instructions, the one or more processors are used to implement the steam care method proposed above.

The communication bus 200 is configured to enable communication between these components.
