Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, specifically to a clothing processing device, control device, and drying method with a drying function. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, people have higher demands for clothing processing equipment with drying functions.

[0040] 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.

[0041] Clothing handling equipment with drying functions dries clothes by supplying high-temperature airflow into the drum. However, the high temperature inside the drum can burn users after drying or when adding clothes during the process. Users must wait until the drum temperature drops to a safe level before unlocking the door to remove or load clothes. Therefore, users have to wait a considerable amount of time before opening the door, negatively impacting the user experience.

[0042] To address the issue of long waiting times for users during the cooling process, this embodiment proposes a clothing processing device with a drying function. The clothing processing device includes:

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

[0044] The air duct assembly includes a main air duct and an auxiliary air duct, the air inlets of the main air duct and the auxiliary air duct are connected to the air outlets, and the air outlets of the main air duct and the auxiliary air duct are connected to the air inlets.

[0045] The main fan and the auxiliary fan are installed in the main air duct and the auxiliary fan is installed 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] Temperature detection device, used to detect the temperature at the target location of the garment processing drum;

[0048] A first condensing device and a second condensing device are installed in the main air duct and the second condensing device is installed in the auxiliary air duct.

[0049] The control device is configured to, when the set cooling timing of the clothes drying process is reached, control the first condensing device and the second condensing device to cool the clothes processing drum individually or simultaneously according to the temperature at the target position of the clothes processing drum, and control the main fan to start when the first condensing device cools the clothes processing drum, and control the auxiliary fan to start when the second condensing device cools the clothes processing drum.

[0050] This embodiment, by setting a first condensing device in the main air duct and a second condensing device in the auxiliary air duct, when the cooling time of the drying process is reached, combines the target temperature of the clothes processing drum and uses the first and second condensing devices to cool the clothes processing drum individually or simultaneously, thereby accelerating the cooling speed of the clothes processing drum. This allows the temperature of the clothes processing drum to quickly reach the opening condition, reducing user waiting time and improving the user experience.

[0051] 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.

[0052] This embodiment proposes a clothing processing device with a drying function. This clothing processing device may have only a drying function, or it may have both drying and washing functions simultaneously. Figures 1-3 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a housing, a garment 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. Wherein:

[0053] A cavity is formed inside the housing, and a clothes processing drum 1 is housed within the cavity. The clothes processing drum 1 has an air inlet and an air outlet, the positions of which are not specifically defined. In one example, the opening of the clothes processing drum 1 is sealed, the air inlet is located at the seal, and the air outlet is located at the bottom of the drum. This creates a relatively long airflow path between the air inlet and the air outlet, allowing the airflow to penetrate the clothes and ensuring a uniform drying effect.

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

[0055] The air duct assembly is disposed in the space between the housing and the garment processing drum 1, preferably above the garment processing drum 1. The air duct assembly includes a main air duct 31 and an auxiliary air duct 32. The air inlets of both the main air duct 31 and the auxiliary air duct 32 are connected to the air outlets, and the air outlets of both the main air duct 31 and the auxiliary air duct 32 are connected to the air inlets. A circulating air path is formed between the garment processing drum 1 and the main air duct 31, and a secondary circulating air path is formed between the garment processing drum 1 and the auxiliary air duct 32. A main fan 21 is disposed in the main air duct 31 to facilitate airflow in the circulating air path formed between the garment processing drum 1 and the main air duct 31, and an auxiliary fan 22 is disposed in the auxiliary air duct 32 to facilitate airflow in the circulating air path formed between the garment processing drum 1 and the auxiliary air duct 32.

[0056] The dehumidifier is used to dehumidify the airflow within the main air duct 31 during the drying process. The dehumidifier can use either electric heating or a heat pump for dehumidification.

[0057] The temperature detection device is used to detect the temperature at a target location of the clothing processing drum 1. The target location is, for example, the air inlet, air outlet, and / or the interior of the clothing processing drum 1. The temperature at the target location is the air inlet temperature, air outlet temperature, and / or the temperature inside the drum 1. For example, the temperature detection device is located at the first air inlet and is used to detect the air inlet temperature of the clothing processing drum 1.

[0058] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 are respectively installed 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 airflow temperature in the main air duct 31. When the second condensing device 62 is turned on, it can condense the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 to reduce the airflow temperature 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 condenser 61 and the second condenser 62 to cool the clothes processing drum 1 individually or simultaneously according to the temperature at the target position of the clothes processing drum 1, and control the main fan 21 to start when the first condenser 61 cools the clothes processing drum 1, and control the auxiliary fan 22 to start when the second condenser 62 cools the clothes processing drum 1.

[0060] Specifically, when the conditions for ending the clothes drying process are met or a control command to add clothes midway is received from the user, the control device determines that the cooling time has been reached. When the cooling time is reached, the control device controls the dehumidifier to shut off, and controls the first condenser 61 and the second condenser 62 to cool the clothes processing drum 1 individually or simultaneously, depending on the temperature at the target location, in order to improve the cooling efficiency and avoid excessive noise caused by the two fans running simultaneously for a long time.

[0061] Furthermore, while the first condensing device 61 is cooling the clothes processing cylinder 1, the control device also maintains the main fan 21 in the running state to send the airflow in the main air duct 31, which has been cooled by the first water condensation, into the clothes processing cylinder 1 to accelerate the cooling inside the cylinder; while the second condensing device 62 is cooling the clothes processing cylinder 1, the control device also controls the auxiliary fan 22 to start, so as to send the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32, which has been cooled by the second water condensation, into the clothes processing cylinder 1 to accelerate the cooling inside the cylinder.

[0062] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the dehumidification device includes a heat pump assembly, which comprises an evaporator 4 and a condenser 5. Both the evaporator 4 and condenser 5 are located within the main air duct 31, with the condenser 5 positioned downstream of the evaporator 4 in the airflow direction within the main air duct 31. The dehumidification device also includes a compressor and a throttling device, wherein the compressor, condenser 5, throttling device, and evaporator 4 are connected via refrigerant piping to form a circulation loop. Under the action of the main fan 21, the humid and hot airflow entering the main air duct 31 from the air outlet is blown towards the evaporator 4. After absorbing heat, the evaporator 4 forms dry and cold air. This dry and cold air flows through the condenser 5 and is heated to form a high-temperature airflow. The high-temperature airflow finally enters the clothes drying drum 1 through the air inlet to dry the clothes in the clothes drying drum 1. This embodiment uses a heat pump drying method, which can achieve high drying efficiency and good drying effect.

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

[0064] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the main air duct 31 includes a first air duct section, and the first condensing device 61 is a first water condensing device, which includes a first spray section. Multiple first spray holes of the first spray section are located on the top wall of the first air duct section and arranged along the width direction of the main air duct 31 to increase the spray area of ​​the first spray section. The evaporator 4 and the condenser 5 are combined into a two-unit assembly, which is located in the first air duct section, thereby achieving integrated installation of the two-unit assembly and the first spray section, reducing the air duct space occupied by the first spray section, and ensuring the airflow of the main air duct 31. When the first spray section is activated, the water mist sprayed by the first spray section absorbs the heat of the airflow in the main air duct 31 and vaporizes, thereby cooling the airflow in the main air duct 31. The cooled airflow in the main air duct 31 then enters the clothing processing drum 1 to further cool the clothing processing drum 1.

[0065] The auxiliary air duct 32 includes a second air duct section, and the second condensation device 62 is a second water condensation device, which includes a second spray section. Multiple second spray holes of the second spray section are located on the top wall of the second air duct section and arranged along the width direction of the auxiliary air duct 32 to increase the spray area of ​​the second spray section. Furthermore, the main air duct 31 and the auxiliary air duct 32 adopt the same structure, improving the versatility of the air duct structure and reducing production costs. When the second spray section is activated, the water mist sprayed by the second spray section absorbs the heat of the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 and vaporizes, thereby cooling the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32. The cooled airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 then enters the clothing processing drum 1 to further cool the clothing processing drum 1.

[0066] In other possible implementations, the first condensation device 61 includes a first water condensation pipe wound around the inner or outer wall of the main air duct 31, or includes multiple first water tanks opened on the inner or outer wall of the main air duct 31, and / or the second condensation device 62 includes a second water condensation pipe wound around the inner or outer wall of the auxiliary air duct 32, or includes multiple second water tanks opened on the inner or outer wall of the auxiliary air duct 32, which will not be listed here.

[0067] In one alternative implementation, if the temperature at the target location is greater than the maximum value of the set temperature range, it indicates that the temperature inside the clothing processing drum 1 is high and the time required to cool it down to a temperature range that will not burn the user is long. At this time, the control device controls the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 to simultaneously start spraying to accelerate the cooling of the clothing processing drum 1 and reduce the user's waiting time.

[0068] If the temperature at the target location is within the set temperature range, it indicates that the temperature inside the garment processing drum 1 is low, and the time required to cool it down to a temperature range that will not burn the user is short. In this case, simply controlling the first condensing device 61 or the second condensing device 62 to start the spray can achieve rapid cooling of the garment processing drum 1. This also avoids the problem of excessive noise caused by the simultaneous operation of the main fan 21 and the auxiliary fan 22, while reducing energy consumption. Preferably, when the temperature at the target location is within the set temperature range, controlling the second condensing device 62 to start the spray can achieve cooling inside the drum, preventing residual heat from the condenser from entering the drum after the compressor stops and affecting the cooling effect.

[0069] If the temperature at the target location is lower than the minimum value of the set temperature range, it means that the temperature at the target location has been reduced to a temperature that will not burn the user. At this time, the control device controls the first condenser 61 and the second condenser 62 to shut down, controls the auxiliary fan 22 and the main fan 21 to shut down, and controls the door of the clothing processing equipment to unlock, so that the door can be opened by the user.

[0070] This embodiment also proposes a drying method for a garment processing device. The drying method is applied to the garment processing device with drying function described above, as referred to... Figure 4 The drying process flow chart shows the following steps:

[0071] S41. During the clothes drying process, determine whether the set cooling time has been reached;

[0072] S42. When the set cooling time is reached, obtain the temperature at the target position of the clothing treatment drum 1;

[0073] S43. Based on the temperature at the target position of the clothing processing drum 1, the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 are controlled to cool the clothing processing drum 1 individually or simultaneously.

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

[0075] When the conditions for ending the clothes drying process are met, or when a control command to add clothes midway is received, it indicates that the set cooling time has been reached, and the dehumidifier needs to be shut off. Then, the temperature inside the clothes processing drum 1 is determined by acquiring the temperature at the target location, and an appropriate cooling strategy is selected based on the temperature inside the clothes processing drum 1. The temperature at the target location includes the inlet air temperature, outlet air temperature, and / or the temperature inside the drum 1.

[0076] After determining the temperature at the target location of the garment processing drum 1, the system determines whether to rapidly cool the garment processing drum 1 by activating either the first condensing device 61 or the second condensing device 62 individually, or by controlling both devices to activate simultaneously. Specifically, when the first condensing device 61 cools the garment processing drum 1, the airflow is maintained in a circulating state between the garment processing drum 1 and the main air duct 31. When the second condensing device 62 cools the garment processing drum 1, the airflow is controlled to circulate between the garment processing drum 1 and the auxiliary air duct 32.

[0077] In one optional implementation, controlling the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 to cool the clothing processing drum 1 individually or simultaneously, based on the temperature at the target location of the clothing processing drum 1, includes: when the temperature at the target location is greater than the maximum value of a set temperature range, controlling the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 to cool the clothing processing drum 1 simultaneously; and when the temperature at the target location is within a set temperature range, controlling the first condensing device 61 or the second condensing device 62 to cool the clothing processing drum 1.

[0078] Furthermore, when the first condensing device 61 cools the clothes processing drum 1, the main fan 21 is controlled to operate at a first set frequency, such as 60Hz-90Hz. When the second condensing device 62 cools the clothes processing drum 1, the auxiliary fan 22 is controlled to operate at a second set frequency, such as 60Hz-90Hz.

[0079] In this embodiment, during the cooling process of the clothing treatment drum 1, the main fan 21 and / or the auxiliary fan 22 are controlled to operate at a lower frequency. By using a small air volume in conjunction with the first condensing device 61 and / or the second condensing device 62, the contact time between the first condensing device 61 and / or the second condensing device 62 and the airflow is increased, thereby increasing the cooling effect on the airflow. At the same time, when the first condensing device 61 includes a first spray section and the second condensing device 62 includes a second spray section, it also avoids the wind speed being too high, which would bring spray water into the clothing treatment drum 1 and increase the humidity of the clothes.

[0080] In a specific implementation, combined with Figure 5 The drying process flow chart first compares the temperature T at the target location with the set temperature value a. When T ≥ a, it is determined that the temperature inside the clothes processing drum 1 is high, indicating that it will take a long time for the clothes processing drum 1 to cool down to a temperature that will not burn the user. In this case, the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 are activated simultaneously to cool down the clothes processing drum 1. When b < T < a, it is determined that the temperature inside the clothes processing drum 1 is low and the cooling time is short. In this case, only the first condensing device 61 or the second condensing device 62 needs to be activated.

[0081] When only the first condenser 61 is activated for spraying, there is no need to turn on the auxiliary fan 22. Only the main fan 21 needs to be turned on and controlled to run at a first set frequency, so that a small amount of air can be used to cooperate with the first condenser 61 for cooling. During the drying and cooling process, the target position temperature T of the clothes handling drum 1 is monitored 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 condenser 61 are turned off.

[0082] When the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 start spraying simultaneously, the main fan 21 remains running, the auxiliary fan 22 is turned on, and the main fan 21 is controlled to operate at a first set frequency, while the auxiliary fan 22 is controlled to operate at a second set frequency. A small airflow is used in conjunction with the first condensing device 61 and the second condensing device 62 to achieve cooling. During the drying and cooling process, the temperature T at the target position of the garment processing drum 1 is monitored 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 process ends, and the main fan 21, the auxiliary fan 22, the first condensing device 61, and the second condensing device 62 are turned off.

[0083] 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.

[0084] In summary, the garment processing equipment of this embodiment is equipped with a first condensing device 61 and a second condensing device 62 in the main air duct 31 and the auxiliary air duct 32, respectively, and airflow is achieved through their respective independent main fans 21 and auxiliary fans 22. This allows the main fans 21 and auxiliary fans 22 to be started simultaneously during the drying and cooling stage, shortening the cooling time. In addition, the temperature of the target location can be combined to control the start of spraying from one of the first condensing devices 61 and the second condensing devices 62, or both of them can be started simultaneously. When the first condensing device 61 is started, the main fan 21 remains running, and when the second condensing device 62 is started, the auxiliary fan 22 starts. This effectively shortens the cooling time while minimizing the problem of excessive noise caused by the simultaneous operation of the two fans for a long time.

[0085] This application embodiment also provides a control device, including a memory and a processor. The memory stores a drying method for a clothing processing device, and the processor is used to employ the drying method of the clothing processing device described above when executing the drying method of the clothing processing device.
