[0051] To address the technical problem that conventional heat pump type clothes treatment equipment cannot realize steam care function, this embodiment proposes a clothes treatment equipment with drying function, the clothes treatment equipment comprising:

[0052] a clothes processing drum comprising an air inlet and an air outlet;

[0053] An air duct assembly includes a main air duct and an auxiliary air duct, wherein the air inlets of the main air duct and the auxiliary air duct are both connected to the air outlet, the air outlet of the main air duct is connected to the air inlet, a connecting port is provided on the air duct wall of the main air duct, and the air outlet of the auxiliary air duct is connected to the main air duct through the connecting port;

[0054] The main fan and auxiliary fan are located in the main air duct and the auxiliary fan is located in the auxiliary air duct;

[0055] A heat pump system comprising an evaporator and a condenser, wherein the condenser and the evaporator are spaced apart and arranged in a main air duct, the condenser being located downstream of the evaporator in the direction of air flow, and the evaporator and the condenser being arranged relative to the communication port so that at least part of the air flow in the auxiliary air duct flows directly to the condenser without passing through the evaporator;

[0056] A spray device is provided in the auxiliary air duct and is used to spray the air flow in the auxiliary air duct;

[0057] The control device is configured to control the start-up of the heat pump system and the main fan in the steam care mode, and control the start-up status of the auxiliary fan and the spray device according to the temperature of the target location.

[0058] This embodiment connects the auxiliary air duct with the main air duct, and arranges a spray device in the auxiliary air duct. The arrangement position of the evaporator and the condenser relative to the connecting port enables the airflow in the auxiliary air duct to be blown directly to the condenser without passing through the evaporator. In this way, in the steam care mode, the auxiliary fan is started so that the airflow in the auxiliary air duct drives the water mist sprayed by the spray device to be directly heated into wet steam by the condenser, and then enters the clothing treatment drum to fully contact and penetrate into the clothing, thereby achieving clothing care functions such as wrinkle removal, odor removal, and sterilization.

[0059] The technical solution of this embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and examples may be combined with each other unless there is any conflict.

[0060] This embodiment proposes 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 5 As shown, the clothes processing device of this embodiment includes a shell, a clothes processing drum 1, an air duct assembly, a main fan 21, an auxiliary fan 22, a heat pump system, a spray device 6, a first temperature detection device and a control device.

[0061] in:

[0062] The housing forms a cavity within which a laundry treatment drum 1 is disposed. The laundry treatment drum 1 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the locations of which are not specifically defined. In one example, a door seal is provided at the opening of the laundry treatment drum 1, with the air inlet located within the seal. The air outlet is located at the bottom of the laundry treatment drum 1, creating a long airflow path between the inlet and outlet, allowing airflow to penetrate the laundry, ensuring uniform drying of the laundry.

[0063] The air duct assembly includes a main air duct 31 and an auxiliary air duct 32. The air inlets of the main air duct 31 and the auxiliary air duct 32 are both connected to the air outlet. The air outlet of the main air duct 31 is connected to the air inlet. The air duct wall of the main air duct 31 is provided with a connecting port 322. The air outlet of the auxiliary air duct 32 is connected to the main air duct 31 through the connecting port 322. The auxiliary air duct 32 can be connected to the main air duct 31 directly or indirectly through a connecting air duct 321.

[0064] A circulating air path is formed between the clothing processing drum 1 and the main air duct 31 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 processing drum 1 and the main air duct 31. 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 processing drum 1 and the auxiliary air duct 32.

[0065] The heat pump system includes an evaporator 4 and a condenser 5. The condenser 5 and the evaporator 4 are spaced apart in the main air duct 31. The condenser 5 is located downstream of the evaporator 4 in the direction of air flow. The heat pump system also includes a compressor and a throttling device. The compressor, condenser 5, throttling device and evaporator 4 are connected in sequence to form a refrigerant circulation flow path. During the clothes drying process, under the action of the main fan 21 and / or the auxiliary fan 22, the hot and humid air entering the main air duct 31 is blown toward the evaporator 4. After the evaporator 4 absorbs heat, it forms dry and cold air. The 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 treatment drum 1 to dry the clothes in the clothes treatment drum 1. When the heat pump system is turned on, the compressor is in the starting state to allow the refrigerant to circulate in the refrigerant circulation flow path.

[0066] In this embodiment, the positioning of the evaporator 4 and condenser 5 relative to the communication port 322 enables at least a portion of the airflow within the auxiliary air duct 32 to flow directly to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4, thereby allowing the condenser 5 to directly heat this portion of the airflow. This also increases the airflow passing through the condenser 5, thereby rapidly heating the interior of the laundry treatment tub 1. A spray device 6 is provided in the auxiliary air duct 32 for spraying the airflow within the auxiliary air duct 32. In the steam care mode, the water mist sprayed by the spray device 6 can be blown directly along with the airflow within the auxiliary air duct 32 toward the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4. After being heated into wet steam by the condenser 5, the mist enters the laundry treatment tub 1 to perform steam care on the clothes.

[0067] Exemplarily, the spray device 6 includes a spray portion 61 and a water supply portion 62. The spray portion 61 is provided at the top of the auxiliary air duct 32, and the spray direction of the spray portion 61 is toward the inside of the auxiliary air duct 32. The water supply portion 62 includes a water supply pipe and a water valve provided on the water supply pipe. The water supply pipe is connected to the municipal water supply pipeline in the user's home, and the water valve controls the water supply pipeline to supply water to the spray portion 61. Preferably, the multiple spray holes of the spray portion 61 are arranged along the width direction of the auxiliary air duct 32 to improve the uniformity of the distribution of water mist in the air flow, and at the same time, improve the dehumidification effect of the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32 during the drying and dehumidification stage. When the spray device 6 is turned on, the water valve is opened, so that the water in the water supply pipe continuously flows into the spray portion 61 and is sprayed out from the spray holes of the spray portion 61.

[0068] The control device is configured to control the start-up of the heat pump system and the main fan 21 in the steam care mode, and control the start-up status of the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6 according to the temperature of the target position.

[0069] In this embodiment, in the steam care mode, the heat pump system and the main fan 21 are controlled to start, so that the condenser 5 and the clothing treatment drum 1 are quickly heated up, so that both the condenser 5 and the clothing treatment drum 1 can reach the temperature required for steam care, and during the steam care process, the heat released by the condenser 5 is not enough to convert the water mist into wet steam, and the wet steam is prevented from entering the clothing treatment drum 1 and contacting the inner wall of the clothing treatment drum 1 and the clothes in a low-temperature state and condensing into water droplets to wet the clothes, thereby reducing the steam care effect.

[0070] At the same time, according to the temperature at the target position of the clothing treatment drum, it is determined whether the heat released by the condenser 5 is sufficient to turn the water mist into wet steam, and whether the temperature inside the clothing treatment drum 1 reaches the temperature required for steam care, and then the starting status of the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6 is regulated, so that in the early stage of steam care, the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32 is directly blown to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4, so that the inside of the clothing treatment drum 1 is quickly heated. During the steam care process, the water mist sprayed by the spray device 6 and the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32 are directly blown to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4, and wet steam is formed after being heated by the condenser 5 and enters the clothing treatment drum 1, thereby realizing steam care for the clothes in the clothing treatment drum 1.

[0071] The temperature at the target position may be at least one of the temperature inside the laundry processing drum, the air inlet temperature, and the air outlet temperature. In one example, the laundry processing device includes a first temperature detection device, which is provided at the air outlet and is used to detect the air outlet temperature of the laundry processing drum 1. In an optional implementation, there are two air outlets, and the air inlet ends of the main air duct 31 and the auxiliary air duct 32 are respectively connected to the two air outlets in a one-to-one correspondence to increase the air intake of the air duct. Since the main air duct 31 is the main air duct for air flow, the first temperature detection device is provided at the air outlet corresponding to the main air duct 31, and is used to detect the temperature of the air flow entering the main air duct 31 to ensure the accuracy of the air outlet temperature detection. The temperature at the target position is the air outlet temperature at the air outlet corresponding to the main air duct 31.

[0072] In this embodiment, there are many ways to realize that the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 does not pass through the evaporator 4 but blows directly to the condenser 5 by arranging the positions of the evaporator 4 and the condenser 5 relative to the communication port 322 .

[0073] In one achievable approach, Figure 2 As shown, the communication port 322 is located between the evaporator 4 and the condenser 5, referring to Figure 2 In the orientation, the evaporator 4 is located above the connecting port 322, and the condenser 5 is located below the connecting port 322, that is, the connecting port 322 is located between the air outlet side of the evaporator 4 and the air inlet side of the condenser 5. When the auxiliary fan 22 is started, the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32 will not pass through the evaporator 4 but will flow directly to the condenser 5 to be heated by the condenser 5.

[0074] In one feasible manner (not shown in the example figure), the setting position of the condenser 5 corresponds to the connecting port 322, the area of ​​the connecting port 322 is larger than the side area of ​​the condenser 5 close to the auxiliary air duct 32, the distance between the air inlet end of the condenser 5 and the end of the connecting port 322 close to the main fan 21 is L1, and the distance between the air outlet end of the condenser 5 and the end of the connecting port 322 away from the main fan 21 is L2, L1≥L2, so that the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 can flow to the condenser 5 more smoothly.

[0075] In a feasible manner (not shown in the example figure), the setting position of the evaporator 4 corresponds to the connecting port 322, and the area of ​​the connecting port 322 is larger than the side area of ​​the evaporator 4 close to the auxiliary air duct 32, and the air inlet end of the condenser 5 is located downstream of the connecting port 322 in the air flow direction. Preferably, the air inlet end of the evaporator 4 and the end of the connecting port 322 close to the main fan 21 are spaced apart by M1, and the air outlet end of the evaporator 4 and the end of the connecting port 322 away from the main fan 21 are spaced apart by M2, M1≤M2, so as to ensure that at least part of the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 can be blown directly to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4.

[0076] In one achievable approach, Figure 1 As shown, the evaporator 4 is arranged at a position corresponding to the connecting port 322, and the area of ​​the connecting port 322 is larger than the side area of ​​the evaporator 4 on the side close to the auxiliary air duct 32. The air inlet end of the condenser 5 is located downstream of the connecting port 322 in the direction of air flow. Preferably, the distance between the air inlet end of the evaporator 4 and the end of the connecting port 322 close to the main fan 21 is M1, and the distance between the air outlet end of the evaporator 4 and the end of the connecting port 322 away from the main fan 21 is M2, M1≤M2, so that the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32 can flow more smoothly to the condenser 5. The clothing processing device also includes a damper component 7, which is arranged on the side of the evaporator 4 close to the auxiliary air duct 32. The damper component 7 can block the passage between the auxiliary air duct 32 and the air inlet end of the evaporator 4, so that all airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 can flow directly to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4, effectively increasing the air flow of the condenser 5 and improving the heating effect and steam care effect on the clothing processing drum 1.

[0077] Further preferably, the damper component 7 is movably provided on a side of the evaporator 4 close to the auxiliary air duct 32, and the damper component 7 has a first position in which the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 flows directly to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4, and a second position in which the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 flows to the condenser 5 through the evaporator 4, and the damper component 7 can be controlled in the first position or the second position. Exemplarily, the damper component 7 includes a baffle and a motor that drives the baffle to move, and the baffle includes a first end 71 and a second end 72 that are arranged opposite to each other, the first end 71 being movably connected to a side of the evaporator 4 close to the auxiliary air duct 32, the second end 72 being connected to a side of the auxiliary air duct 32 away from the air inlet when the damper component 7 is in the first position, and the second end 72 being connected to a side of the auxiliary air duct 32 close to the air inlet when the damper component 7 is in the second position.

[0078] The control device is further configured to control the damper component 7 to be in the first position in the steam care mode, and to control the position of the damper component 7 according to the drying stage in the drying mode. By controlling the position of the damper component 7 in this embodiment, in the steam care mode, the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 is blown directly to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4. Furthermore, the temperature and humidity can be controlled at different drying stages of the drying process, effectively improving the drying effect and shortening the drying time.

[0079] Specifically, during the drying and heating phase, damper component 7 is controlled to the first position, allowing the airflow in auxiliary air duct 32 to flow directly to condenser 5 without passing through evaporator 4, increasing the airflow through condenser 5 and rapidly raising the temperature within laundry tub 1. During the drying and dehumidification phase, damper component 7 is controlled to the second position, allowing the airflow in auxiliary air duct 32 to pass through evaporator 4 and condenser 5, increasing the airflow through these two evaporators and improving dehumidification efficiency. The drying phase can be determined based on the inlet air temperature of laundry tub 1 or the drying time.

[0080] In an optional implementation, the laundry processing apparatus further includes a second temperature detection device, which is disposed within the laundry processing tub 1 and is configured to detect the internal temperature of the laundry processing tub 1. The control device is configured to, when a steam treatment end condition is reached, control the heat pump system and the main fan 21 to shut down, and control the activation of the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6 based on the internal temperature of the tub.

[0081] At the end of the steam care, this embodiment controls the heat pump system and the main fan 21 to be turned off to prevent the temperature in the barrel from continuing to rise. At the same time, the temperature in the barrel is further monitored, and the start-up state of the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6 is controlled according to the temperature in the barrel to ensure that the temperature in the barrel is reduced to a temperature that will not scald the user. Specifically, when the temperature in the barrel is greater than the second set temperature, it means that the temperature in the barrel is relatively high. At this time, the spray device 6 and the auxiliary fan 22 are controlled to be in the start-up state, so that a large amount of water mist follows the auxiliary air duct 32 through the main air duct 31 and finally enters the clothing treatment barrel 1, thereby achieving rapid cooling in the barrel. When the temperature in the barrel is less than or equal to the second set temperature, it means that the temperature in the barrel has reached a temperature that will not scald the user. At this time, the spray device 6 and the auxiliary fan 22 are controlled to be turned off, and the steam care mode ends.

[0082] This embodiment proposes a steam care method for a clothes treatment device, which is applied to the clothes treatment device with a drying function proposed above. Figure 6 As shown in the steam care flow chart, the steam care method includes the following steps:

[0083] S61, in steam care mode, controlling the heat pump system and the main fan 21 to start;

[0084] S62: Acquire the temperature of the target position of the laundry processing drum 1, and control the start-up states of the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6 according to the temperature of the target position.

[0085] According to the steam care method of the embodiment of the present application, the condenser 5 and the laundry treatment drum 1 are rapidly heated by controlling the heat pump system and the main fan 21 to start, so that the heat released by the condenser 5 is sufficient to convert the water mist into wet steam. At the same time, the interior of the laundry treatment drum 1 reaches the temperature condition for steam care, thereby preventing the water mist from condensing into water droplets after entering the laundry treatment drum 1 during the steam care process, thereby wetting the clothes and reducing the steam care effect. In addition, this embodiment further monitors the temperature at the target location to determine whether the condenser 5 and the temperature inside the drum have reached the steam care temperature condition, and then controls the start state of the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6. Therefore, when the temperature at the target location reaches the steam care condition, the airflow generated by the auxiliary fan 22 drives the water mist sprayed by the spray device 6 to flow directly to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4, and is heated by the condenser 5 to generate wet steam that enters the laundry treatment drum 1 to steam care the clothes.

[0086] The steam care mode of this embodiment can be executed according to the user's instructions, or the steam care mode can be entered directly after the drying process. Because the temperature of the clothes is higher and there are more wrinkles after drying, the wet steam can be fully contacted with the clothes and penetrated into the clothes to achieve the wrinkle removal effect of the clothes.

[0087] In an optional implementation, the start-up state of the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6 is controlled according to the temperature of the target position, including: when the temperature of the target position is lower than the first set temperature, it means that the heat released by the condenser 5 is not enough to convert the water mist sprayed by the spray device 6 into wet steam, and the temperature in the drum is low, which makes it easy for the wet steam to condense and wet the clothes. At this time, the auxiliary fan 22 is controlled to be in the start-up state, so that the airflow of the auxiliary fan 22 does not pass through the evaporator 4 but flows directly to the condenser 5, thereby increasing the airflow of the condenser 5 and improving the heating efficiency. The airflow direction is referenced to FIG. Figure 3 Indicated by the arrow.

[0088] When the temperature at the target position is greater than or equal to the first set temperature, it means that the heat released by the condenser 5 is sufficient to turn the water mist sprayed by the spray device 6 into wet steam. At the same time, the temperature in the drum is not easy to condense the wet steam. At this time, the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6 are controlled to be in the starting state. The water mist sprayed by the spray device 6 is blown directly to the condenser 5 along the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32 without passing through the evaporator 4, and is heated by the condenser 5 to form wet steam that enters the clothing treatment drum 1 to perform steam care on the clothes in the clothing treatment drum 1. The air flow direction is referenced to Figure 4 Indicated by the arrow.

[0089] The temperature at the target position is preferably the air outlet temperature at the air outlet corresponding to the main air duct 31 .

[0090] In an optional implementation, the setting position of the evaporator 4 corresponds to the connecting port 322, and the area of ​​the connecting port 322 is larger than the side area of ​​the evaporator 4 close to the auxiliary air duct 32, and the air inlet end of the condenser 5 is located downstream of the connecting port 322 in the air flow direction. The clothing processing device also includes a damper component 7, which is movably arranged on the side of the evaporator 4 close to the auxiliary air duct 32. The damper component 7 has a first position that allows the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 to flow directly to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4, and a second position that allows the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 to flow to the condenser 5 through the evaporator 4. The steam care method includes: in the steam care mode, the damper component 7 is also controlled to be in the first position, so that all the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 flows directly to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4, effectively increasing the airflow of the condenser 5, and improving the heating effect and steam care effect on the clothing processing drum 1.

[0091] In an optional implementation, referring to Figure 7 The steam care flow chart shows that the steam care method also includes the following steps:

[0092] S71, when the steam care end condition is reached, control the heat pump system and the main fan 21 to be turned off;

[0093] S72. Obtain the temperature inside the laundry processing drum 1. When the temperature inside the drum is greater than the second set temperature, control the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6 to be in the started state. When the temperature inside the drum is less than or equal to the second set temperature, control the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6 to be turned off.

[0094] At the end of the steam treatment, this embodiment controls the heat pump system and main fan 21 to shut down to prevent further temperature rise inside the tub. Furthermore, the tub temperature is monitored and the activation of the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6 is controlled accordingly to ensure that the tub temperature is lowered to a level that will not burn the user. For example, when the steam treatment duration reaches the set duration, the steam treatment termination condition is determined to have been met.

[0095] Specifically, if the temperature inside the drum is greater than the second set temperature, indicating that the temperature inside the drum is high, the spray device 6 and the auxiliary fan 22 are controlled to be in the activated state, allowing a large amount of water mist to flow through the auxiliary air duct 32 and the main air duct 31 and ultimately enter the clothing treatment drum 1, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the drum. Preferably, if the temperature inside the drum is greater than the second set temperature, the speed of the auxiliary fan 22 is increased to a speed greater than the speed during the steam care process to shorten the cooling time. If the temperature inside the drum is less than or equal to the second set temperature, indicating that the temperature inside the drum has reached a temperature that will not burn the user, the spray device 6 and the auxiliary fan 22 are controlled to be turned off, and the steam care mode ends.

[0096] In a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 8 The steam care process flow chart shows that the steam care method includes the following processing steps:

[0097] S801, steam care mode is turned on;

[0098] S802, controlling the main fan 21 and the heat pump system to start, and the air flow circulates in the main air duct 31 and the clothes processing drum 1 to increase the temperature;

[0099] S803, obtaining the air outlet temperature of the laundry processing drum 1;

[0100] S804: Determine whether the outlet air temperature reaches the first set temperature. If the determination result is no, proceed to S805. If the determination result is yes, proceed to S806.

[0101] S805: Control the damper component 7 to the first position and start the auxiliary fan 22 so that the air in the auxiliary air duct 32 is blown directly to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4, thereby rapidly heating the barrel to reach the first set temperature;

[0102] S806: Control the damper component 7 to the first position, control the auxiliary fan 22 to start, and turn on the spray device 6. The water mist sprayed by the spray device 6 is blown directly to the condenser 5 along with the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32 without passing through the evaporator 4. The water mist is heated by the condenser 5 to generate high-temperature wet steam, which enters the clothing treatment drum 1 to achieve steam care for the clothes.

[0103] S807, determine whether the steam care end condition is met, if the judgment result is yes, go to S808, if the judgment result is no, return to S806;

[0104] S808, shut down the main fan 21, the auxiliary fan 22, the heat pump system and the spray device 6;

[0105] S809: Determine whether the temperature inside the laundry processing drum 1 is higher than the second set temperature at which the laundry processing device can be turned on. If yes, proceed to S810; if no, proceed to S811;

[0106] S8010, maintain the start-up state of the main fan 21, the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6, and return to S809;

[0107] S810, control the main fan 21, the auxiliary fan 22 and the spray device 6 to turn off, and the steam care mode ends.

[0108] The present embodiment proposes a drying method for a clothes processing device. The evaporator 4 of the clothes processing device of the present embodiment is arranged at a position corresponding to the connecting port 322, and the area of ​​the connecting port 322 is larger than the side area of ​​the evaporator 4 on the side close to the auxiliary air duct 32. The air inlet end of the condenser 5 is located downstream of the connecting port 322 in the air flow direction. The clothes processing device also includes a damper component 7. The damper component 7 is movably arranged on the side of the evaporator 4 close to the auxiliary air duct 32. The damper component 7 has a first position that allows the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32 to flow directly to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4, and a second position that allows the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32 to flow to the condenser 5 through the evaporator 4. Figure 9 As shown in the drying flow chart, the drying method includes the following steps:

[0109] S91. During the clothes drying process, the heat pump system is controlled to start, and the main fan 21 and the auxiliary fan 22 are controlled to start. The clothes drying process includes multiple clothes drying stages.

[0110] S92: Control the position of the damper component 7 according to the current clothes drying stage, and control the start-up state of the spray device 6 according to the hot and humid state of the clothes processing drum 1 during the drying and dehumidification stage.

[0111] During the clothes drying process, this embodiment controls the simultaneous activation of the main fan 21 and the auxiliary fan 22 to increase the airflow into the clothes processing drum 1, improving heating and dehumidification efficiency and shortening drying time. Simultaneously, the position of the damper component 7 is controlled according to the clothes drying stage to optimize the airflow path and achieve rapid heating and dehumidification. This embodiment also controls the operating state of the spray device 6 during the drying and dehumidification phase based on the heat and humidity of the clothes processing drum 1, further improving dehumidification efficiency and shortening drying time.

[0112] Furthermore, the position state of the damper component 7 is controlled according to the current clothes drying stage, including:

[0113] In the drying and heating stage, the damper component 7 is controlled to be in the first position so that the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32 can be blown directly to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4, thereby increasing the air flow of the condenser 5 and rapidly heating the clothes processing drum 1. Figure 3 In the drying and dehumidification stage, the damper component 7 is controlled to be in the second position, so that the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 32 passes through the evaporator 4 and the condenser 5, increasing the air flow of the evaporator 4 and the condenser 5 and improving the dehumidification efficiency. Figure 5 The drying stage can be determined according to the inlet air temperature of the laundry processing drum 1, and can also be determined according to the drying time.

[0114] Preferably, when entering the clothing drying process, the main fan 21 is first controlled to start at the first initial speed, and the auxiliary fan 22 is controlled to start at the second initial speed. In the drying and heating stage, the speed of the main fan 21 is controlled to be lower than the first initial speed, and the speed of the auxiliary fan 22 is controlled to be higher than the second initial speed, so as to increase the air flow that does not pass through the evaporator 4 but is directly blown to the condenser 5, thereby further accelerating the heating efficiency of the clothing processing drum 1.

[0115] Furthermore, in the drying and dehumidification stage, the start state of the spray device 6 is controlled according to the heat and humidity state of the clothes processing drum 1, including:

[0116] When the laundry tub 1 is in a high-humidity and high-heat state, the spray device 6 is controlled to be in an activated state, so that the water mist sprayed by the spray device 6 condenses the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32, thereby reducing the load on the evaporator 4. At the same time, the airflow through the evaporator 4 and condenser 5 is increased, improving the dehumidification efficiency and shortening the drying time. When the laundry tub 1 is in a low-humidity and low-heat state, the spray device 6 is controlled to be in an inactivated state, which increases the airflow through the evaporator 4 and condenser 5, ensuring the dehumidification effect while reducing energy consumption.

[0117] In this embodiment, the high heat and humidity state refers to a state in which the humidity inside the drum is high in a high temperature environment, and the low heat and humidity state refers to a state in which the humidity inside the drum is low in a high temperature environment. Specifically, the low heat and humidity state refers to a state in which the air outlet temperature of the laundry processing drum 1 is greater than or equal to the third set temperature and less than the fourth set temperature, and the high heat and humidity state refers to a state in which the air outlet temperature of the laundry processing drum 1 is less than the third set temperature.

[0118] In general: This embodiment connects the auxiliary air duct 32 with the main air duct 31, and sets a spray device 6 in the auxiliary air duct 32. The evaporator 4 and the condenser 5 are positioned relative to the connecting port 322 so that the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 does not pass through the evaporator 4 but blows directly to the condenser 5, thereby achieving rapid heating and cooling of the clothing treatment drum 1 and steam care for the clothing. In the early stage of steam care, the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 is controlled to flow directly to the condenser 5 without passing through the evaporator 4, thereby increasing the airflow of the condenser 5 and achieving rapid temperature rise in the drum; in the steam care process, the spray device 6 is controlled to spray water mist into the auxiliary air duct 32, and the water mist flows directly to the condenser 5 with the airflow in the auxiliary air duct 32 without passing through the evaporator 4 and is heated by the condenser 5 to form wet steam. The wet steam enters the clothing treatment drum 1 to achieve steam care for the clothing. After the steam care is completed, the water mist sprayed by the spray device 6 can be used to quickly cool the drum to prevent the user from being burned by the high temperature in the drum when opening the door of the clothing processing equipment to take out the clothes.
