DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

Those skilled in the art can understand that the words "first", "second" and the like do not limit the quantity and execution order, and the words "first", "second" and the like do not limit them to be necessarily different.

[0040] In addition, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements explicitly listed, but may include other steps or elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0041] Clothes processing equipment with drying function dries clothes by delivering high-temperature airflow into the clothes processing drum. After the clothes are dried or when adding clothes in the middle of the process, the high temperature in the drum will burn the user, and the machine door will be unlocked only when the temperature in the drum drops to a temperature range that will not cause harm to the user. After the door is unlocked, the user can open the door to take out the clothes. Therefore, when the drying is finished or when adding clothes in the middle of the process, the user needs to wait for a long time before opening the door, which reduces the user's experience.

[0042] In order to solve the problem of long waiting time for users during the cooling process, this embodiment proposes a clothes processing device with a drying function, the clothes processing device comprising:

[0043] A clothes processing drum, which is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet;

[0044] An air duct assembly, comprising a main air duct and an auxiliary air duct, the air inlet ends of the main air duct and the auxiliary air duct are both connected to the air outlet, and the air outlet ends of the main air duct and the auxiliary air duct are both connected to the air inlet;

[0045] A main fan and an auxiliary fan, the main fan is arranged in the main air duct, and the auxiliary fan is arranged in the auxiliary air duct;

[0046] A dehumidification device is used to dehumidify the airflow in the main air duct during the drying process;

[0047] A temperature detection device, which is used to detect the temperature of a target position of the laundry treatment drum;

[0048] A first condensing device and a second condensing device, the first condensing device is arranged in the main air duct, and the second condensing device is arranged in the auxiliary air duct;

[0049] A control device is configured to, when a set cooling time of a clothes drying process is reached, control the first condensing device and the second condensing device to cool the clothes processing drum separately or simultaneously according to the temperature of a target position of the clothes processing drum, and control the main fan to be in a started state when the first condensing device cools the clothes processing drum, and control the auxiliary fan to be in a started state when the second condensing device cools the clothes processing drum.

[0050] In this embodiment, a first condensing device is arranged in the main air duct and a second condensing device is arranged in the auxiliary air duct. When the cooling time of the drying process is reached, the first condensing device and the second condensing device are used to cool the clothing treatment drum separately or simultaneously in combination with the target position temperature of the clothing treatment drum, thereby accelerating the cooling speed of the clothing treatment drum, allowing the temperature of the clothing treatment drum to quickly reach the door opening condition, reducing the user's waiting time, and improving the user experience.

[0051] The technical solution of this embodiment is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and examples can be combined with each other if there is no conflict.

[0052] This embodiment provides a clothes processing device with a drying function. The clothes processing device of this embodiment may have only a drying function or may have both a drying function and a washing function. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the clothes processing device includes a housing, a clothes processing drum 1, an air duct assembly, a temperature detection device, a first condensing device 61, a second condensing device 62 and a control device. Among them:

[0053] A shell cavity is formed in the shell, and a clothes treatment drum 1 is arranged in the shell cavity. The clothes treatment drum 1 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and the arrangement positions of the air inlet and the air outlet are not clearly defined. In one example, a door seal is arranged at the drum opening of the clothes treatment drum 1, and the air inlet is arranged at the door seal and the air outlet is arranged at the drum bottom of the clothes treatment drum 1, so that a long air flow path is formed between the air inlet and the air outlet and the air flow can penetrate the clothes, thereby ensuring a uniform drying effect on the clothes.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, there are two air inlets and two air outlets respectively, and the air inlet ends of the main air duct 31 and the auxiliary air duct 32 are connected to the two air outlets one by one, and the air outlet ends of the main air duct 31 and the auxiliary air duct 32 are connected to the two air inlets one by one to increase the air intake and air outlet of the clothing processing drum 1.

[0055] The air duct assembly is arranged in the space between the shell and the clothing treatment drum 1, preferably arranged above the clothing treatment drum 1. The air duct assembly includes a main air duct 31 and an auxiliary air duct 32, the air inlet ends of the main air duct 31 and the auxiliary air duct 32 are both connected to the air outlet, and the air outlet ends of the main air duct 31 and the auxiliary air duct 32 are both connected to the air inlet. A circulating air path is formed between the clothing treatment drum 1 and the main air duct 31, and an auxiliary circulating air path is formed between the clothing treatment drum 1 and the auxiliary air duct 32. The main fan 21 is arranged in the main air duct 31, and is used to make the air flow circulate in the circulating air path formed between the clothing treatment drum 1 and the main air duct 31, and the auxiliary fan 22 is arranged in the auxiliary air duct 32, and is used to make the air flow circulate in the circulating air path formed between the clothing treatment drum 1 and the auxiliary air duct 32.

[0056] The dehumidification device is used to dehumidify the airflow in the main air duct 31 during the drying process. The dehumidification method of the dehumidification device can be electric heating dehumidification or heat pump dehumidification.

[0057] The temperature detection device is used to detect the temperature of a target position of the laundry treatment drum 1. The target position is, for example, the air inlet, air outlet and / or the inside of the laundry treatment drum 1. The temperature of the target position is the air inlet temperature, air outlet temperature and / or the inside temperature of the laundry treatment drum 1. Exemplarily, the temperature detection device is provided at the first air inlet, and is used to detect the air inlet temperature of the laundry treatment drum 1.

[0058] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 are respectively arranged in the main air duct 31 and the auxiliary air duct 32. When the first condensing device 61 is turned on, it can condense the airflow in the main air duct 31 to reduce the temperature of the airflow in the main air duct 31, and when the second condensing device 62 is turned on, it can condense the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 to reduce the temperature of the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32.

[0059] The control device is configured to, when the set cooling timing of the clothes drying process is reached, control the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 to cool the clothes processing drum 1 separately or simultaneously according to the temperature of the target position of the clothes processing drum 1, and control the main fan 21 to be in the started state when the first condensing device 61 cools the clothes processing drum 1, and control the auxiliary fan 22 to be in the started state when the second condensing device 62 cools the clothes processing drum 1.

[0060] Specifically, when the end condition of the clothes drying process is reached or a control instruction of adding clothes in the middle of the process is received from the user, the control device determines that the time for cooling down has arrived. When the time for cooling down has arrived, the control device controls the dehumidification device to turn off, and controls the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 to cool down the clothes processing drum 1 separately or simultaneously according to the temperature at the target position, so as to improve the cooling efficiency and avoid excessive noise caused by the simultaneous start of the two fans for a long time.

[0061] Moreover, when the first condensing device 61 cools down the clothing treatment drum 1, the control device also maintains the start-up state of the main fan 21 to send the airflow in the main air duct 31 that has been cooled by the first water condensation into the clothing treatment drum 1 to accelerate the cooling of the drum; when the second condensing device 62 cools down the clothing treatment drum 1, the control device also controls the start-up of the auxiliary fan 22 to send the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 that has been cooled by the second water condensation into the clothing treatment drum 1 to accelerate the cooling of the drum.

[0062] In an optional implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the dehumidification device includes a heat pump assembly, and the heat pump assembly includes an evaporator 4 and a condenser 5. The evaporator 4 and the condenser 5 are both arranged in the main air duct 31, and in the air flow direction in the main air duct 31, the condenser 5 is located downstream of the evaporator 4. The dehumidification device also includes a compressor and a throttling device, wherein the compressor, the condenser 5, the throttling device and the evaporator 4 are connected by a refrigerant pipeline to form a circulation loop. Under the action of the main fan 21, the hot and humid airflow entering the main air duct 31 from the air outlet is blown toward the evaporator 4, and forms dry cold air after the evaporator 4 absorbs heat. The dry cold air flows through the condenser 5 and is heated to form a high-temperature airflow. The high-temperature airflow finally enters the clothing treatment drum 1 through the air inlet to dry the clothes in the clothing treatment drum 1. The heat pump drying method adopted in this embodiment can achieve higher drying efficiency and better drying effect.

[0063] Preferably, Figure 3 As shown, in the air flow direction in the main air duct 31 , the first condensing device 61 is located downstream of the condenser 5 to prevent the air flow condensed by the first condensing device 61 from being heated by the residual temperature of the condenser 5 , thereby reducing the cooling effect on the clothing processing drum 1 .

[0064] In an optional implementation, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the main air duct 31 includes a first air duct portion, and the first condensing device 61 is a first water condensing device, which includes a first spraying portion, and a plurality of first spraying holes of the first spraying portion are arranged on the top wall of the first air duct portion and arranged along the width direction of the main air duct 31 to increase the spraying area of ​​the first spraying portion, and the evaporator 4 and the condenser 5 are combined into two device components, and the two device components are arranged in the first air duct portion, so as to realize the integrated arrangement of the two device components and the first spraying portion, reduce the air duct space occupied by the first spraying portion, and ensure the air volume of the main air duct 31. When the first spraying portion is started, the water mist sprayed by the first spraying portion absorbs the heat of the air flow in the main air duct 31 and vaporizes, so as to realize the cooling of the air flow in the main air duct 31, and the air flow after cooling in the main air duct 31 enters the clothing treatment tub 1 to realize the cooling of the clothing treatment tub 1.

[0065] The auxiliary air duct 32 includes a second air duct portion, and the second condensing device 62 is a second water condensing device, which includes a second spraying portion, and a plurality of second spraying holes of the second spraying portion are arranged on the top wall of the second air duct portion and arranged along the width direction of the auxiliary air duct 32. To increase the spraying area of ​​the second spraying portion. In addition, the main air duct 31 and the auxiliary air duct 32 adopt the same structure, which improves the versatility of the air duct structure and reduces the production cost. When the second spraying portion is started, the water mist sprayed by the second spraying portion absorbs the heat of the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32 and vaporizes, thereby realizing the cooling of the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32. After the air flow after cooling in the auxiliary air duct 32 enters the clothing processing drum 1, the clothing processing drum 1 is cooled.

[0066] In other achievable embodiments, the first condensing device 61 includes a first water condensing tube wound around the inner wall or outer wall of the main air duct 31, or includes a plurality of first water grooves opened on the inner wall or outer wall of the main air duct 31, and / or the second condensing device 62 includes a second water condensing tube wound around the inner wall or outer wall of the auxiliary air duct 32, or includes a plurality of second water grooves opened on the inner wall or outer wall of the auxiliary air duct 32, which are not listed one by one here.

[0067] In an optional implementation, when the temperature at the target position is greater than the maximum value of the set temperature range, it means that the temperature in the clothing processing drum 1 is high and it takes a long time to cool down to a temperature range that will not scald the user. At this time, the control device controls the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 to start spraying at the same time to accelerate the cooling of the clothing processing drum 1 and reduce the user's waiting time.

[0068] When the temperature at the target position is within the set temperature range, it means that the temperature in the laundry treatment drum 1 is relatively low, and the time required to cool down to a temperature range that will not scald the user is relatively short. At this time, only the first condensing device 61 or the second condensing device 62 is controlled to start spraying to achieve rapid cooling of the laundry treatment drum 1, and it can also avoid the problem of excessive noise caused by the main fan 21 and the auxiliary fan 22 being turned on at the same time, while reducing energy consumption. Preferably, when the temperature at the target position is within the set temperature range, the second condensing device 62 is controlled to start spraying to achieve cooling in the drum, so as to avoid the residual heat of the condenser entering the drum after the compressor is stopped and affecting the cooling effect.

[0069] When the temperature at the target position is lower than the minimum value of the set temperature range, it means that the temperature at the target position has been lowered to a temperature that will not scald the user. At this time, the control device controls the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 to be turned off, controls the auxiliary fan 22 and the main fan 21 to be turned off, and controls the door body of the clothing processing equipment to be unlocked. At this time, the door body can be opened by the user.

[0070] This embodiment also proposes a drying method for a clothes processing device, which is applied to the clothes processing device with a drying function as described above. Figure 4 The drying process flow chart of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0071] S41, during the clothes drying process, determining whether a set cooling time has been reached;

[0072] S42, when the set temperature reduction time is reached, obtaining the target position temperature of the laundry processing drum 1;

[0073] S43, controlling the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 to cool down the laundry processing drum 1 individually or simultaneously according to the temperature at the target position of the laundry processing drum 1;

[0074] Specifically, during the clothes drying process, the dehumidification device is controlled to start, and the main fan 21 is controlled to start. At this time, air flows between the clothes processing drum 1 and the main air duct 31 to achieve dehumidification of the clothes in the clothes processing drum 1.

[0075] When the end condition of the clothes drying process is reached, or when a control instruction to add clothes is received during the drying process, it means that the set cooling time has been reached, and the dehumidification device needs to be controlled to be turned off. Then, the temperature in the clothes treatment drum 1 is determined by obtaining the temperature at the target position, and a suitable cooling strategy is selected according to the temperature in the clothes treatment drum 1. The temperature at the target position is the air inlet temperature, air outlet temperature and / or the temperature in the drum of the clothes treatment drum 1.

[0076] After determining the temperature at the target position of the laundry treatment tub 1, it is determined whether to start the first condensing device 61 or the second condensing device 62 alone to achieve rapid cooling of the laundry treatment tub 1, or to control the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 to start simultaneously to achieve rapid cooling of the laundry treatment tub 1. When the first condensing device 61 cools the laundry treatment tub 1, the airflow is maintained in a state of circulating between the laundry treatment tub 1 and the main air duct 31, and when the second condensing device 62 cools the laundry treatment tub 1, the airflow is controlled to circulate between the laundry treatment tub 1 and the auxiliary air duct 32.

[0077] In an optional implementation, the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 are controlled to cool down the clothing processing drum 1 separately or simultaneously according to the temperature of the target position of the clothing processing drum 1, including: when the temperature at the target position is greater than the maximum value of the set temperature range, the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 are controlled to cool down the clothing processing drum 1 simultaneously; when the temperature at the target position is within the set temperature range, the first condensing device 61 or the second condensing device 62 is controlled to cool down the clothing processing drum 1.

[0078] Furthermore, when the first condensing device 61 cools the clothing processing drum 1, the main fan 21 is controlled to operate at a first set frequency, which is, for example, 60HZ-90HZ. When the second condensing device 62 cools the clothing processing drum 1, the auxiliary fan 22 is controlled to operate at a second set frequency, which is, for example, 60HZ-90HZ.

[0079] In the process of cooling the clothing treatment drum 1, the present embodiment controls the main fan 21 and / or the auxiliary fan 22 to operate at a lower frequency, and utilizes a small amount of air in cooperation with the first condensing device 61 and / or the second condensing device 62 to increase the contact time between the first condensing device 61 and / or the second condensing device 62 and the airflow, thereby increasing the cooling effect on the airflow. At the same time, when the first condensing device 61 includes a first spray part and the second condensing device 62 includes a second spray part, it also avoids excessive wind speed from bringing spray water into the clothing treatment drum 1 and increasing the humidity of the clothing.

[0080] In a specific implementation, combined with Figure 5 The drying process flow chart first compares the temperature T at the target position with the set temperature value a. When T≥a, it is determined that the temperature in the clothing processing drum 1 is relatively high, which means that it takes a long time for the clothing processing drum 1 to cool down to a temperature that will not scald the user. Therefore, the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 are controlled to start at the same time to cool down the clothing processing drum 1. When b<T<a, it is determined that the temperature in the clothing processing drum 1 is relatively low and the cooling time is relatively short. In this case, only the first condensing device 61 or the second condensing device 62 is started.

[0081] When only the first condensing device 61 starts spraying, there is no need to start the auxiliary fan 22, only the main fan 21 needs to be started, and the main fan 21 is controlled to run at the first set frequency, so as to use a small amount of air to cooperate with the first condensing device 61 to cool down. During the drying and cooling process, the target position temperature T of the clothes processing drum 1 is set in real time. When the target position temperature T is greater than the set cooling end temperature b, the cooling process continues; when the target position temperature T is less than or equal to the set cooling end temperature b, the cooling ends, and the main fan 21 and the first condensing device 61 are turned off.

[0082] When the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 start spraying at the same time, the main fan 21 is kept started, the auxiliary fan 22 is turned on, and the main fan 21 is controlled to run at the first set frequency, and the auxiliary fan 22 is controlled to run at the second set frequency, and the temperature is reduced by using a small amount of air in cooperation with the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62. During the drying and cooling process, the target position temperature T of the clothes processing drum 1 is detected in real time. When the target position temperature is greater than the set cooling end temperature b, the cooling process continues; when the target position temperature T is less than or equal to the set cooling end temperature b, the drying and cooling ends, and the main fan 21, the auxiliary fan 22, the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 are turned off.
