Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing, and more specifically, to a method for determining clothing processing parameters, a method for controlling clothing processing parameters, and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing treatment equipment refers to devices capable of processing loads such as clothing, shoes, and hats, and is an indispensable appliance in modern households. During the use of clothing treatment equipment, substances beneficial for cleaning clothes are added, such as detergent and ozone. Detergent not only improves the cleanliness of clothes but also produces foam, which provides effective washing and conditioning. Meanwhile, ozone has antibacterial and sterilizing effects, achieving a sterilization effect on clothing. However, current clothing treatment equipment fails to accurately control the amount of foam and ozone added, resulting in poor treatment results. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a method for determining and controlling clothing processing parameters, as well as a clothing processing device, to at least solve the technical problem of poor clothing processing effect.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for determining clothing processing parameters is provided, the method comprising:

[0005] Get the clothing information of the clothes to be washed;

[0006] The ozone demand level is determined based on the clothing information, wherein different ozone demand levels correspond to different ozone dosages.

[0007] Based on the ozone demand level, corresponding ozone dosing parameters are determined, wherein the ozone dosing parameters include parameters for controlling the amount of ozone dosing.

[0008] Using this embodiment, the ozone requirement level can be determined based on the clothing information, and then the ozone delivery parameters can be obtained according to the ozone requirement level. This allows the ozone that is more suitable for the clothing to be delivered when treating the clothing, thereby improving the treatment effect.

[0009] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the clothing information includes clothing fabric and / or clothing color;

[0010] Determining the ozone requirement level based on the clothing information includes:

[0011] The higher the fineness of the clothing fabric, the lower the ozone requirement level is determined.

[0012] And / or, the higher the color protection requirement represented by the clothing color, the lower the ozone requirement level determined.

[0013] Using this method, for delicate garments, a lower ozone requirement level is determined, which helps prevent ozone from corroding or otherwise damaging the garments, thus improving the treatment effect. For garments with high color protection requirements, a lower ozone requirement level is determined, making it less likely for ozone to cause color fading or color bleeding, further improving the treatment effect.

[0014] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the method further includes:

[0015] The fineness of the garment fabric is determined according to a preset fabric attribute table, wherein the fabric attribute table includes at least one garment fabric, and each garment fabric has a fine parameter that characterizes its fineness.

[0016] And / or, the level of color protection requirement is determined based on the shade and number of colors of the clothing.

[0017] This implementation method determines the precision of clothing fabrics by pre-setting a fabric attribute table, which helps reduce calculations and lower computational costs. Determining color protection requirements by color depth and quantity helps improve the accuracy of color protection criteria.

[0018] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of this application embodiment, determining the level of color protection requirement based on the color depth and quantity of the clothing includes:

[0019] When there is only one color, the lighter the color of the clothing, the lower the color protection requirement.

[0020] When there are multiple colors, the color protection requirement is determined to be high.

[0021] This implementation method first categorizes colors by quantity, and then determines color protection requirements based on color depth, which helps improve the accuracy of color protection requirements.

[0022] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the method further includes:

[0023] When determining the ozone requirement level, the ozone requirement level is determined based on whether or not sterilization is required.

[0024] This implementation method also allows for the acquisition of sterilization requirements, increasing the flexibility in determining ozone requirement levels.

[0025] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the method further includes:

[0026] When it is necessary to determine the ozone requirement level based on the fineness of the clothing fabric, the color of the clothing, and the sterilization requirements, the corresponding ozone requirement level shall be determined according to the fineness of the clothing fabric, the color of the clothing, and the sterilization requirements respectively.

[0027] If there is a conflict among the ozone demand levels, the ozone demand level corresponding to the fineness of the clothing fabric shall be given priority as the final ozone demand level used to determine the ozone release parameters, and the ozone demand level corresponding to the color of the clothing shall be given priority as the final ozone demand level used to determine the ozone release parameters.

[0028] If there are differences in ozone demand levels, then when the sterilization requirement is required, the highest ozone demand level will be used as the final ozone demand level for determining the ozone delivery parameters; otherwise, the lowest ozone demand level will be used as the final ozone demand level for determining the ozone delivery parameters.

[0029] By adopting this implementation method and setting priorities, it is beneficial to protect clothing and avoid damage, fading, or color bleeding.

[0030] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the method further includes:

[0031] The foam demand level is determined based on the clothing information, wherein different foam demand levels correspond to different foam dosages;

[0032] Based on the foam demand level, corresponding foam deployment parameters are determined, wherein the foam deployment parameters include parameters for controlling the amount of foam deployed.

[0033] By adopting this implementation method, the foam demand level can be determined based on the clothing information, and then the foam dosing parameters can be obtained according to the foam demand level. This allows for the use of foam that is more suitable for the clothing during processing, thereby improving the processing effect.

[0034] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the clothing information includes clothing fabric;

[0035] Determining the foam requirement level based on the clothing information includes:

[0036] The lower the abrasion resistance and / or impact resistance of the clothing fabric, the higher the determined foam requirement level.

[0037] By adopting this method, a higher foam requirement level is determined for clothing with low abrasion resistance and low impact resistance, so that more foam can be obtained during clothing treatment. The increased amount of foam helps to protect the clothing, making it less prone to damage and improving the treatment effect.

[0038] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the method further includes:

[0039] The abrasion resistance and / or impact resistance of the garment fabric are determined according to a preset fabric property table, wherein the fabric property table includes at least one garment fabric, and each garment fabric has a corresponding abrasion resistance parameter that characterizes its abrasion resistance level and / or impact resistance parameter that characterizes its impact resistance level.

[0040] By adopting this implementation method, the abrasion resistance and / or impact resistance of clothing fabrics are determined by pre-setting a fabric attribute table, which helps to reduce the amount of computation, thereby reducing the occupation of computing resources and lowering the computing cost.

[0041] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of this application embodiment, determining the corresponding foam deployment parameters based on the foam demand level includes:

[0042] The foam deployment parameters corresponding to the foam demand level are determined according to the first correspondence relationship, wherein the first correspondence relationship is the correspondence between the foam demand level and the foam deployment parameters, and the foam deployment parameters include the foam deployment time.

[0043] The step of determining the corresponding ozone dosing parameters based on the ozone demand level includes:

[0044] The ozone release parameters corresponding to the ozone demand level are determined according to the second correspondence relationship, wherein the ozone release parameters include the ozone release time.

[0045] By using this method, setting the foam release time and ozone release time allows for the accurate delivery of foam and ozone amounts to the clothing, thereby protecting the clothing while improving the treatment effect.

[0048] The ozone generator is controlled to deliver ozone into the foam generator according to the ozone delivery parameters.

[0049] The foam generator is controlled to supply ozone-generated foam into the treatment cylinder according to the foam dispensing parameters.

[0053] The ozone parameters are corrected using the grade correction coefficient to obtain the target ozone parameters;

[0054] The actual ozone level is determined based on the target ozone parameters.

[0055] In conjunction with the second aspect, in an optional implementation of this application embodiment, determining the level correction coefficient based on the ozone release time includes:

[0056] The ozone release time is compared with a preset baseline time to obtain the level correction coefficient, wherein the baseline time includes the ozone release time corresponding to the second correspondence when the ozone demand level is intermediate.

[0057] According to a third aspect of the embodiments of this application, a garment processing device is provided, employing the garment processing parameter determination method or the garment processing control method described above.

[0058] In conjunction with the third aspect, in one optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the garment processing device includes a liquid inlet module, a liquid processing module, and a processing cylinder;

[0059] The liquid inlet module is connected to the liquid processing module and is used to provide water and washing liquid to the liquid processing module;

[0060] The liquid processing module is connected to the liquid inlet module and the processing cylinder respectively, and is used to process the mixture of water and washing liquid provided by the liquid processing module into foam, and to transport the processed mixture into the processing cylinder.

[0061] Using this implementation method, the liquid processing module can process the mixture to generate foam, so that the mixture entering the processing cylinder contains foam, allowing the load to be washed to come into contact with the foam earlier, thereby improving the washing effect.

[0062] In conjunction with the third aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the liquid processing module includes an ozone generator and a foam generator, wherein the inlet end of the foam generator is connected to the outlet end of the liquid inlet module, and the outlet end of the foam generator is connected to the inlet end of the processing cylinder;

[0063] The ozone generator is used to deliver ozone into the foam generator.

[0064] Using this method, the ozone generator can deliver ozone into the foam generator, so that the foam entering the treatment cylinder contains ozone. When the ozone comes into contact with the load to be washed, it can sterilize and improve the washing effect.

[0077] 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.

[0078] 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.

[0079] 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.

[0080] Detergent foam plays a good role in cleaning and softening clothes during the washing process. Currently, most washing machines do not have an active foam generator, so foam is only produced after a period of washing. This results in a slower detergent effect, and some detergent may not completely dissolve in the water, affecting the cleaning effect.

[0081] Furthermore, regarding health and sterilization, gases like ozone, which have good sterilization properties, are difficult to dissolve in water and therefore cannot provide effective sterilization during washing. However, they can adhere to the surface of foam and be encapsulated within it, achieving a good sterilization effect during contact between the foam and clothing. Current foam washing systems, however, fail to fully integrate sterilization with their functions, focusing solely on washing performance.

[0082] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a method for determining and controlling garment processing parameters, as well as a garment processing device, which can at least solve one of the following technical problems:

[0083] 1. Solved the problem of adjusting the ozone and foam dosage based on the fabric of the clothing during ozone foam washing.

[0084] 2. Solved the problem of adjusting the ozone dosage based on the color of the clothes during the ozone foam washing process.

[0085] 3. Solved the problem of adjusting the ozone dosage based on sterilization requirements during ozone foam washing.

[0086] 4. Solved the priority determination problem when there is a conflict in the amount of odorant added under different adjustment schemes.

[0087] It has at least one of the following technical effects:

[0088] 1. Adjust the amount of ozone and foam according to the fabric of the garment. When washing delicate fabrics such as silk and wool, avoid using high concentrations of ozone to prevent damage to the fabric, and use plenty of foam to create a gentle washing effect.

[0089] 2. During the ozone foam washing process, the amount of ozone added can be adjusted according to the color of the clothes to achieve the effects of color protection for dark clothes, whitening for white clothes, and preventing color bleeding for mixed-color clothes.

[0090] 3. During the ozone foam washing process, adjust the ozone dosage according to the sterilization requirements. When the ozone dosage conflicts with the clothing care requirements, prioritize ensuring that the clothes are not damaged during washing.

[0091] It has at least one of the following characteristics:

[0092] 1. A washing machine that utilizes foam to enhance the washing effect, wherein the gas used for foaming (including gas-liquid mixtures, aerosols, etc.) has stronger oxidizing or electroactive properties than air, such as ozone, hydroxyl radicals, plasma, negative ions, etc., so that the foam formed has good antibacterial, enhanced cleaning, softening, and anti-color bleeding effects, preferably using ozone for foaming.

[0093] 2. Adjust the ozone and foam dosage according to the fabric, color, and sterilization requirements of the clothing to determine the ozone and foam dosage and effect during washing.

[0094] 3. During washing, drying, or care processes, control the amount of ozone added according to the fabric of the garment; reduce the amount of ozone added for delicate fabrics such as silk and wool.

[0095] 4. During the washing process, control the amount of ozone added according to the color of the clothes. Reduce the amount of ozone added to dark clothes to protect the color, increase the amount of ozone added to white clothes to whiten them, and add an appropriate amount of ozone to mixed-color clothes to prevent color bleeding.

[0096] 5. During ozone foam washing, the fabric and color of the clothes have a greater impact on the amount of ozone added than the sterilization requirements, so the priority is to ensure that the clothes are not damaged during washing.

[0097] Next, the method for determining the clothing processing parameters provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail, referring to... Figure 1 The flowchart shown illustrates the method for determining clothing processing parameters, which includes the following processing steps.

[0098] S100: Obtain clothing information of the clothes to be washed.

[0099] In one embodiment, clothing information refers to information related to the amount of ozone and / or foam required during clothing washing. For example, clothing information may be the abrasion resistance value, shock resistance value, clothing color, etc. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0100] S102. Determine the corresponding ozone dosing parameters based on the ozone demand level.

[0101] The ozone dosage parameters include parameters for controlling the amount of ozone added. Different ozone demand levels correspond to different ozone dosages.

[0102] The second correspondence includes the fact that different ozone demand levels correspond to corresponding ozone release parameters, which is the same as the foam demand levels, and will not be elaborated further.

[0103] Using this embodiment, the foam requirement level and ozone requirement level can be determined based on the clothing information. Then, the foam and ozone deployment parameters are obtained according to the foam and ozone requirement levels, so that when treating clothing, more suitable foam and ozone can be deployed, thus improving the treatment effect of clothing.

[0104] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the clothing information includes clothing fabric and / or clothing color;

[0105] Determining the ozone requirement level based on the clothing information includes:

[0106] The higher the fineness of the clothing fabric, the lower the ozone requirement level is determined.

[0107] And / or, the higher the color protection requirement represented by the clothing color, the lower the ozone requirement level determined.

[0108] In one embodiment, the fine fabrics used for clothing include wool, silk, or other materials such as scarves, stockings, lace, and chiffon. Users can also manually set the fineness of the clothing to be washed to be high or low.

[0109] In one embodiment, different levels of precision have different grades, with higher grades indicating lower ozone demand levels.

[0110] In one embodiment, the color protection requirement refers to whether the clothing is prone to fading or staining; the more prone the clothing is to fading or staining, the higher the color protection requirement. Furthermore, if there are different colored garments among the clothes to be washed, the color protection requirement is also higher in order to prevent color bleeding.

[0111] Using this method, for delicate garments, a lower ozone requirement level is determined, which helps prevent ozone from corroding or otherwise damaging the garments, thus improving the treatment effect. For garments with high color protection requirements, a lower ozone requirement level is determined, making it less likely for ozone to cause color fading or color bleeding, further improving the treatment effect.

[0112] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the method further includes:

[0113] The fineness of the garment fabric is determined according to a preset fabric attribute table, wherein the fabric attribute table includes at least one garment fabric, and each garment fabric has a fine parameter that characterizes its fineness.

[0114] And / or, the level of color protection requirement is determined based on the shade and number of colors of the clothing.

[0115] This implementation method determines the precision of clothing fabrics by pre-setting a fabric attribute table, which helps reduce calculations and lower computational costs. Determining color protection requirements by color depth and quantity helps improve the accuracy of color protection criteria.

[0116] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, determining the level of color protection requirement based on the color depth and quantity of the clothing includes:

[0117] When there is only one color, the lighter the color of the clothing, the lower the color protection requirement.

[0118] When there are multiple colors, the color protection requirement is determined to be high.

[0119] This implementation method first categorizes colors by quantity, and then determines color protection requirements based on color depth, which helps improve the accuracy of color protection requirements.

[0120] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the method further includes:

[0121] When determining the ozone requirement level, the ozone requirement level is determined based on whether or not sterilization is required.

[0122] In one embodiment, the sterilization requirement can be manually input by the user or set automatically by the garment processing equipment; this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0123] This implementation method also allows for the acquisition of sterilization requirements, increasing the flexibility in determining ozone requirement levels.

[0124] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the method further includes:

[0125] When it is necessary to determine the ozone requirement level based on the fineness of the clothing fabric, the color of the clothing, and the sterilization requirements, the corresponding ozone requirement level shall be determined according to the fineness of the clothing fabric, the color of the clothing, and the sterilization requirements respectively.

[0126] If there is a conflict among the ozone demand levels, the ozone demand level corresponding to the fineness of the clothing fabric shall be given priority as the final ozone demand level used to determine the ozone release parameters, and the ozone demand level corresponding to the color of the clothing shall be given priority as the final ozone demand level used to determine the ozone release parameters.

[0127] If there are differences in ozone demand levels, then when the sterilization requirement is required, the highest ozone demand level will be used as the final ozone demand level for determining the ozone delivery parameters; otherwise, the lowest ozone demand level will be used as the final ozone demand level for determining the ozone delivery parameters.

[0128] In one embodiment, a conflict occurs when multiple ozone demand levels cannot coexist. For example, the ozone demand levels include 0 and 2, where 0 represents no ozone required, but 2 represents ozone required. In this case, the ozone demand levels are considered to conflict. A difference in levels occurs when multiple ozone demand levels can coexist. For example, the ozone demand levels include 1, 2, and 4. Since 1, 2, and 4 all represent the need for ozone, only the required amount differs, the difference is only in the level. The final ozone demand level used to determine the ozone dosing parameters can be determined by adjusting priorities, etc.

[0129] By adopting this implementation method and setting priorities, it is beneficial to protect clothing and avoid damage, fading, or color bleeding.

[0130] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the method further includes:

[0131] The foam requirement level is determined based on the clothing information.

[0132] Different foam demand levels correspond to different foam deployment amounts.

[0133] In one embodiment, the foam requirement level and ozone requirement level can be determined using a pre-set table. Specifically, for example, in one application scenario, data on clothing information and its corresponding foam and ozone requirement levels are obtained through experiments. A table is then created based on this data, containing clothing information for various scenarios, with each scenario corresponding to a foam and ozone requirement level. After obtaining the clothing information for the garment to be washed, the corresponding foam and ozone requirement levels can be found in the table.

[0134] In one embodiment, different foam demand levels represent different amounts of foam required for the clothes to be washed; specifically, a higher foam demand level requires a larger amount of foam. Similarly, different ozone demand levels represent different amounts of ozone required for the clothes to be washed. It should be noted that the foam demand level can be used not only to characterize the amount of foam required for the clothes to be washed, but also to characterize the duration of foam provision, the number of times foam is provided, etc. The same applies to the ozone demand level, and this embodiment does not specifically limit these aspects.

[0135] The corresponding foam deployment parameters are determined based on the foam demand level.

[0136] The foam dispensing parameters include parameters used to control the amount of foam dispensed.

[0137] In one embodiment, a first correspondence is preset, which is the relationship between foam demand level and foam dispensing parameters. In the first correspondence, different foam demand levels correspond to different foam dispensing parameters. Therefore, after obtaining the foam demand level of the clothes to be washed, the corresponding foam dispensing parameters can be found in the first correspondence.

[0138] In one embodiment, the foam dosage refers to the total amount of foam that needs to be supplied to the treatment drum during the entire washing process of the clothes to be washed (including the pre-wash preparation process and the post-wash preparation process). The foam dosage is related to parameters such as foam dosage efficiency and foam dosage duration. Therefore, foam dosage parameters can include not only the foam dosage but also related control parameters. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0139] By adopting this implementation method, the foam demand level can be determined based on the clothing information, and then the foam dosing parameters can be obtained according to the foam demand level. This allows for the use of foam that is more suitable for the clothing during processing, thereby improving the processing effect.

[0140] In one possible embodiment of this application, the clothing information includes clothing fabric;

[0141] Determining the foam requirement level based on the clothing information includes:

[0142] The lower the abrasion resistance and / or impact resistance of the clothing fabric, the higher the determined foam requirement level.

[0143] In one embodiment, different clothing fabrics have different abrasion resistance and / or shock resistance. The abrasion resistance and / or shock resistance of the clothing fabric to be washed can be determined by pre-setting a relation table. For example, the relation table includes various clothing fabrics, such as silk, cotton, linen, textiles, knitwear, denim, etc. When it is determined that the clothing fabric to be washed is silk, the abrasion resistance and shock resistance of silk can be found in the relation table.

[0144] In one embodiment, abrasion resistance has multiple grades from high to low, and impact resistance also has multiple grades from high to low. The corresponding foam requirement grade can be determined based on the grade of abrasion resistance and / or the grade of impact resistance.

[0145] By adopting this method, a higher foam requirement level is determined for clothing with low abrasion resistance and low impact resistance, so that more foam can be obtained during clothing treatment. The increased amount of foam helps to protect the clothing, making it less prone to damage and improving the treatment effect.

[0146] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the method further includes:

[0147] The abrasion resistance and / or impact resistance of the garment fabric are determined according to a preset fabric property table, wherein the fabric property table includes at least one garment fabric, and each garment fabric has a corresponding abrasion resistance parameter that characterizes its abrasion resistance level and / or impact resistance parameter that characterizes its impact resistance level.

[0148] In one embodiment, different abrasion resistance parameters result in different levels of abrasion resistance, thus allowing the determination of the abrasion resistance of the clothing fabric. The same principle applies to impact resistance, and will not be elaborated further.

[0149] By adopting this implementation method, the abrasion resistance and / or impact resistance of clothing fabrics are determined by pre-setting a fabric attribute table, which helps to reduce the amount of computation, thereby reducing the occupation of computing resources and lowering the computing cost.

[0150] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, determining the corresponding foam deployment parameters based on the foam demand level includes:

[0151] The foam deployment parameters corresponding to the foam demand level are determined according to the first correspondence relationship, wherein the first correspondence relationship is the correspondence between the foam demand level and the foam deployment parameters, and the foam deployment parameters include the foam deployment time.

[0152] The step of determining the corresponding ozone dosing parameters based on the ozone demand level includes:

[0153] The ozone release parameters corresponding to the ozone demand level are determined according to the second correspondence relationship, wherein the ozone release parameters include the ozone release time.

[0154] By using this method, setting the foam release time and ozone release time allows for the accurate delivery of foam and ozone amounts to the clothing, thereby protecting the clothing while improving the treatment effect.

[0155] This application provides a control method for garment processing, applied to garment processing equipment. The garment processing equipment includes a processing cylinder and a foam generator. The air inlet of the foam generator is connected to an ozone generator, and the foam outlet of the foam generator is connected to the processing cylinder. The method includes:

[0156] The foam release parameters and ozone release parameters are obtained using the determination method described above.

[0157] The ozone generator is controlled to deliver ozone into the foam generator according to the ozone delivery parameters.

[0158] The foam generator is controlled to supply ozone-generated foam into the treatment cylinder according to the foam dispensing parameters.

[0159] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the determination method described above is applied, and the control method further includes:

[0160] Obtain the ozone release time and actual ozone parameters, wherein the ozone parameters include parameters that can characterize the ozone demand level;

[0161] The level correction factor is determined based on the ozone release time.

[0162] The ozone parameters are corrected using the grade correction coefficient to obtain the target ozone parameters;

[0163] The actual ozone level is determined based on the target ozone parameters.

[0164] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, determining the level correction coefficient based on the ozone release time includes:

[0165] The ozone release time is compared with a preset baseline time to obtain the level correction coefficient, wherein the baseline time includes the ozone release time corresponding to the second correspondence when the ozone demand level is intermediate.

[0166] This application provides a garment processing device that employs the garment processing parameter determination method or the garment processing control method described above.

[0167] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a liquid inlet module, a liquid processing module, and a processing cylinder;

[0168] The liquid inlet module is connected to the liquid processing module and is used to provide water and washing liquid to the liquid processing module;

[0169] The liquid processing module is connected to the liquid inlet module and the processing cylinder respectively, and is used to process the mixture of water and washing liquid provided by the liquid processing module into foam, and to transport the processed mixture into the processing cylinder.

[0170] Using this implementation method, the liquid processing module can process the mixture to generate foam, so that the mixture entering the processing cylinder contains foam, allowing the load to be washed to come into contact with the foam earlier, thereby improving the washing effect.

[0179] 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.

[0180] In one specific implementation of this application, the method for determining garment processing parameters, the control method, and the garment processing equipment include the following:

[0181] like Figure 3 As shown, taking a drum washing machine as an example, the main system components related to the foam washing function of this washing machine include detergent dispensing and water inlet system 1, ozone foam generating system 2, and washing drum system 3.

[0182] The detergent dispensing and water inlet system 1 includes an automatic dispensing inlet valve 11, an automatic detergent dispensing device 12, and an automatic detergent dispensing water delivery pipeline 13. When automatic detergent dispensing is performed, the automatic dispensing inlet valve 11 is opened, allowing detergent water to enter the automatic detergent dispensing device 12. Simultaneously, the detergent dispensing pump is activated, pumping detergent from the detergent storage chamber according to the set dispensing amount. Under the impact of the detergent water, the detergent enters the detergent mixing chamber for mixing and dissolution, and is then supplied to the ozone foam generating system 2 through the automatic detergent dispensing water delivery pipeline 13.

[0183] The detergent dispensing and water inlet system 1 includes a manual detergent dispensing inlet valve 14, a manual detergent dispensing device 15, and a manual detergent dispensing water delivery pipeline 16. When manually dispensing detergent, the manual dispensing inlet valve 14 is opened, allowing washing water to enter the manual detergent dispensing device 15, rinsing the manually dispensed detergent, mixing and dissolving it, and then dispensing it into the water storage tank 31 through the manual detergent dispensing water delivery pipeline 16. A pressure relief valve 28 is installed on the pipeline connecting the manual detergent dispensing device 15 and the automatic detergent dispensing water delivery pipeline 13.

[0184] The foam generator 21 uses a jet foaming method, eliminating the need for an air pump 25. Washing water from the automatic washing water delivery pipeline 13 passes through the foam generator 21, which is composed of a Venturi jet injector. The jet generates negative pressure to draw in air and create foam, which is then delivered from the foam delivery pipeline 26 to the foam nozzle 27, located inside the washing tub 32, spraying the foam into the tub. During foaming, the ozone generator 24 produces ozone, which is drawn into the injector through the one-way valve 23 and the air inlet pipe 22 to participate in the foaming process.

[0185] like Figure 4 As shown, the foam generator 21 can be generated by aeration. The air pump 25 pumps external air into the ozone generator 24 to produce high concentrations of ozone gas, which then enters the foam generator 21, which consists of a liquid storage chamber and a porous aeration head, through the one-way valve 23 and the air inlet pipe 22.

[0186] The washing drum system 3 specifically includes a water storage tank 31, a washing drum 32, and a door seal 33.

[0187] like Figure 5 As shown, the ozone foam washing program consists of an ozone quantity adjustment program and a foam quantity adjustment program. Based on information such as the fabric, color, and sterilization requirements of the clothing, the ozone quantity and foam quantity are adjusted respectively to ultimately determine the ozone foam quantity status and effect during washing.

[0188] Preferably, the ozone level is divided into three levels: high, low, and none. Alternatively, a medium-level ozone dosage can be added according to usage requirements. The ozone level is distinguished by the ozone gas concentration in the washing drum, the ozone water concentration in the foam, the total ozone dosage time, or the output specification of the ozone generator.

[0189] The ozone dosage is categorized by the concentration of ozone gas inside the cylinder: ozone gas content above 15 ppm is considered "high" ozone dosage, 5-15 ppm is considered "medium" ozone dosage, 2-5 ppm is considered "low" ozone dosage, and 0 ppm is considered "no" ozone dosage.

[0190] The ozone dosage is differentiated based on the concentration of ozone water in the foam inside the cylinder: ozone water content above 1 ppm is considered "high" ozone dosage, 0.5-1 ppm is considered "medium" ozone dosage, 0.2-0.5 ppm is considered "low" ozone dosage, and 0 ppm is considered "no" ozone dosage.

[0191] Based on the total ozone release time, ozone releases of 20 minutes or more are classified as "high" ozone releases, 10-20 minutes as "medium" ozone releases, 0-10 minutes as "low" ozone releases, and 0 minutes as "no" ozone releases.

[0192] Based on the output specifications of ozone generators, ozone generators with a total ozone production capacity of 60 mg / h or more are classified as "high" ozone dosage, ozone generators with a total ozone production capacity of 30-60 mg / h are classified as "medium" ozone dosage, ozone generators with a total ozone production capacity of 10-30 mg / h are classified as "low" ozone dosage, and ozone generators that are not turned on are classified as "no" ozone dosage.

[0193] Furthermore, the above four ozone dosage levels can be used in combination.

[0194] Preferably, the release time is converted into a corresponding coefficient and multiplied by the ozone gas concentration, the ozone water concentration contained in the foam, or the ozone generator output specification, as an equivalent correction value for the classification method considering the influence of release time.

[0195] The specific method for calculating the delivery time conversion factor is as follows: take the default setting value of the "medium" delivery time as the base time, and divide the set delivery time by the base time to obtain the delivery time conversion factor. The base delivery time can be set to 15 minutes.

[0196] Taking a 30-minute ozone gas injection at a concentration of 10 ppm as an example, the original ozone injection level was "medium". By increasing the injection time correction coefficient, dividing the 30-minute set time by the 15-minute base time, we get a correction coefficient of 2. Multiplying this by the set ozone concentration of 10 ppm, we get a corrected equivalent ozone concentration of 20 ppm, and the ozone injection level is "high".

[0197] The foam dosage level can be divided into two levels: high and medium. A lower level of foam dosage can also be added according to usage needs. The foam dosage level can be determined by the ratio of the total volume of the foam and water mixture in the drum to the volume of washing water. A ratio greater than 2.5 indicates a "high" foam dosage, and a ratio between 1.5 and 2.5 indicates a "medium" foam dosage.

[0198] The specific control logic for the ozone and foam regulation programs is as follows:

[0199] The ozone level adjustment program consists of three subroutines: ozone level adjustment based on clothing fabric, ozone level adjustment based on clothing color, and ozone level adjustment based on sterilization requirements. Each subroutine independently judges the amount of ozone released and gives the corresponding ozone level.

[0200] In the ozone regulation subroutine based on clothing fabric, the material of the clothing is identified through infrared spectroscopy, or the style of the clothing is identified through image recognition, to determine whether the clothing to be processed is made of fine fabric. Fine fabrics mainly include clothing made of materials such as wool and silk, or clothing such as scarves, stockings, lace, and chiffon. Users can also manually set whether the clothing to be processed is made of fine fabric.

[0201] When the garments to be treated are delicate fabrics, it is advisable to use the "low" ozone or "no" ozone setting for washing. When the garments to be treated are not delicate fabrics, there is no limit to the amount of ozone used in the washing process.

[0202] In the ozone level adjustment subroutine based on clothing color, the color of the clothing to be processed is determined through image recognition or user selection. Preferably, the color classification and ozone level adjustment methods are divided into the following four types:

[0203] All dark colors: For clothes that need color protection, i.e., to prevent dark clothes from fading, it is advisable to use the "low" ozone or "no" ozone setting for washing to prevent high ozone levels from causing fading.

[0204] All light colors: Normal washing is sufficient; no limit on ozone dosage.

[0205] All white: If whitening is required, a "high" ozone dosage is recommended to achieve bleaching, yellowing removal, and other effects.

[0206] Dark colors + light colors (including white): For washes where color bleeding is a concern, a low ozone dosage is recommended. Appropriate ozone levels can oxidize and decompose the pigment molecules released from dark-colored clothing into the water, rendering them unable to stain and preventing color bleeding into light-colored clothing. At the same time, avoid using excessively high ozone dosages to prevent strong oxidizing agents from causing dark-colored clothing to fade.

[0207] In the ozone dosage adjustment subroutine based on sterilization needs, the system detects or allows the user to manually select whether sterilization is required. If sterilization is required, a "high" or "low" ozone dosage is used. If there is no sterilization requirement, the ozone dosage is not limited.

[0208] In the foam volume adjustment program, the system detects or allows the user to select whether the garment fabric is a delicate fabric. When the garment is a delicate fabric, a "high" foam volume is recommended for a gentle wash, as the foam cushions the garment from impact and friction during the wash, reducing damage. When the garment is not a delicate fabric, a "medium" foam volume can be used for a regular wash.

[0209] During ozone foam washing, if the ozone dosage levels given by the three subroutines conflict, the influence of clothing fabric and color on ozone dosage takes precedence over the influence of sterilization requirements, prioritizing ensuring that the clothes are not damaged during washing. Furthermore, the influence of clothing fabric takes precedence over the influence of color.

[0210] When the three subroutines provide multiple possible ozone dosage levels, if sterilization is required, the higher ozone dosage level will be used; if sterilization is not required, the lower ozone dosage level will be used.
