[0060] 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.

[0061] 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.

[0062] 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.

[0063] Common odors on clothing include smoke, alcohol, hot pot, mildew, and raw food odors. Since the difficulty of removing different types of odors varies—for example, smoke and hot pot odors are more difficult to remove than alcohol odors, using the same conditions may not remove them completely, while increasing the amount of steam or the steaming time will increase energy consumption and further damage the clothing—mildew odors contain mold, requiring temperatures of 70℃ to 80℃ to completely remove the mold, also increasing energy consumption. Odors from raw food sources such as raw meat scraps, egg yolks, and fishy smells are easily emitted and are even more difficult to remove; the odor source must be removed before any other deodorizing process can be effective.

[0064] In related technologies, different deodorization solutions are customized based on information such as odor concentration. Specifically, the deodorization and care solution is determined according to the current odor concentration of the clothing, the duration of the odor's persistence, and the type of clothing material. However, these technologies neglect the impact of odor type on deodorization effectiveness and tend to focus on adjusting the steam volume and the operating rhythm of the clothing treatment drum, resulting in incomplete odor removal.

[0065] To address the above technical problems, this application provides a garment processing device, which includes:

[0066] case;

[0067] A garment processing tube is housed within a casing, with an installation space formed between the casing and the garment processing tube.

[0068] An ozone generator is installed in the installation space, and the ozone outlet of the ozone generator is connected to the clothing treatment drum.

[0069] A foam generating device is installed in the installation space. The foam outlet of the foam generating device is connected to the clothing treatment cylinder. The foam generating device can generate ozone foam using the ozone generated by the ozone generator.

[0070] A steam generator is installed in the installation space, and the steam outlet of the steam generator is connected to the clothes handling drum.

[0071] The control device is configured to control the ozone deodorization method according to the type of odor in the clothing processed by the garment treatment tube.

[0072] Among them, ozone deodorization methods include ozone gas deodorization alone, ozone gas combined with steam deodorization, and ozone foam deodorization.

[0073] The clothing treatment equipment in this embodiment can control the ozone deodorization method according to the type of odor in the clothing, and can formulate different ozone deodorization strategies for different types of odors, thereby improving the odor removal effect. Furthermore, using ozone deodorization avoids increasing the steam volume or the temperature inside the cylinder to improve the odor removal effect, thus reducing deodorization energy consumption.

[0074] Furthermore, this embodiment combines the type of odor with the properties of clothing to control the odor removal parameters, which can completely remove odors from clothing with high adsorption capacity for odor molecules and clothing with complex designs, preventing residual odors from returning.

[0075] 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.

[0076] According to an exemplary embodiment of this application, this embodiment proposes a garment processing device, which can be a washing machine, dryer or washer-dryer with garment care function, and the structure type of the garment processing device can be a pulsator type garment processing device or a drum type garment processing device.

[0077] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a housing 1, a garment processing cylinder 2, an ozone generator, a foam generator 7, and a steam generator. The garment processing cylinder 2 is disposed within the housing 1, forming an installation space between the housing 1 and the garment processing cylinder 2. The ozone generator is disposed within the installation space, and its ozone outlet is connected to the garment processing cylinder 2. The foam generator 7 is disposed within the installation space, and its foam outlet 76 is connected to the garment processing cylinder 2. The foam generator 7 can generate ozone foam using the ozone generated by the ozone generator. The steam generator is disposed within the installation space, and its steam outlet is connected to the garment processing cylinder 2.

[0078] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The garment processing equipment includes an ozone generator 5 and an air pump 4. Both the ozone generator 5 and the air pump 4 are installed at the bottom of the housing 1, optionally on the left side of the bottom of the housing 1. The ozone generator 5 and the air pump 4 can be separate, independent structures or integrated into a sealed box. The ozone generator 5 and the air pump 4 are connected. The ozone generator 5 can be installed in front of or behind the air pump 4. The ozone generator 5 can be a ceramic plate ozone generator 5, a tubular ozone generator 5, or an ultraviolet ozone generator 5. For example, the ozone generator 5 is a ceramic plate ozone generator 5, which includes a generating plate and a high-voltage power supply. The high-voltage power supply outputs high-voltage electricity to the generating plate, causing the generating plate to generate a high-voltage corona discharge that ionizes the oxygen-containing air flowing through the generating plate and recombines to generate ozone. The ozone generator has an ozone outlet connected to the garment processing drum 2.

[0079] Foam generating device 7 is located at the top of the garment processing equipment, as shown in the reference. Figure 3The foam generating device 7 includes a receiving box 73 and a foaming component 71. The receiving box 73 has a receiving cavity 731 and includes a liquid inlet 74, a water inlet 75, and a foam outlet 76. The liquid inlet 74 is connected to a foaming agent storage box (not shown in the figure), which stores liquid containing foaming active substances. A dispensing pump (not shown in the figure) is provided in the passage between the liquid inlet 74 and the foaming agent storage box. The water inlet 75 is connected to the water inlet pipe of the clothing treatment equipment, and water in the water inlet pipe can enter the receiving cavity 731 through the water inlet 75 to dilute the liquid containing foaming active substances in the receiving cavity 731. The foam outlet 76 is connected to the foam inlet 9 located at the door seal 3 through a foam outlet pipe 8. The foaming component 71 includes a foaming net 711, and an air inlet 72 is also provided opposite to the foaming net 711. The ozone outlet of the ozone generator 5 is connected to the air inlet 72 through an air inlet hose 6. When ozone foam generation is required, the dispensing pump draws liquid from the foaming agent storage box and feeds it into the receiving box 73. Ozone gas passes through the foaming net 711 component and reacts with the liquid in the receiving box 73 to generate ozone foam. The generated foam enters the clothing treatment drum 2 through the foam outlet pipe 8 to deodorize the clothes. When ozone foam generation is not required, there is no need to feed liquid into the receiving box 73. Ozone gas directly passes through the foam generating device 7 and enters the clothing treatment drum 2 through the foam outlet pipe 8 to deodorize the clothes.

[0080] The garment processing equipment in this embodiment also includes a control device (not shown in the figure). The control device is configured to control the ozone deodorization method according to the type of odor of the garments in the garment processing tube 2. The ozone deodorization method includes ozone gas deodorization alone, ozone gas combined with steam deodorization, and ozone foam deodorization.

[0081] Because ozone has high oxidizing properties, it can decompose odor-causing organic molecules into water and carbon dioxide, thus removing odors. This avoids the need to increase steam volume or internal temperature to improve odor removal efficiency, reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, considering the varying difficulty in removing different odor types, using the same ozone deodorization method for all odors might result in incomplete removal of more difficult-to-remove odors, potentially leading to secondary odor recurrence. Therefore, this embodiment combines ozone deodorization with odor type, employing different ozone deodorization methods for different odor types.

[0082] For odors that are relatively easy to remove, ozone gas alone can be used. For odors that are more difficult to remove, ozone foam can be used, with the foam promoting the removal of dirt and dust by the ozone solvent. For odors that are moderately difficult to remove, a combination of ozone gas and steam can be used. Steam improves the uniform distribution of ozone within the garment treatment drum 2, and steam also has some odor-removing ability, ensuring effective odor removal while reducing steam energy consumption. The type of odor can be selected directly by the user through the control panel of the garment treatment equipment, or it can be detected by an odor sensor.

[0083] In one optional implementation of this application, the control device is further configured to control the odor removal parameters of the ozone odor removal method according to the odor type and clothing attributes; the clothing attributes include clothing material and clothing style, and the odor removal parameters include at least ozone concentration and ozone action duration.

[0084] Different clothing materials have varying capacities for odor absorption; the stronger the odor absorption capacity of a material, the more difficult it is to remove the odor. Furthermore, the more complex the design of the clothing, the more difficult it is to remove odor molecules from specific areas. This embodiment controls the odor removal parameters by combining the type of odor with the properties of the clothing, ensuring good odor removal results for clothing of different materials and styles.

[0085] In one optional implementation of this application, the clothing processing device further includes a clothing image acquisition device for acquiring clothing images. The control device is also configured to determine clothing attributes based on the clothing images. The image acquisition device is, for example, a camera device, which may be located on the front panel of the housing 1. When a user places clothing in the device, they can take a picture of the clothing in front of the camera device. The camera device transmits the captured photo to the control device, which analyzes and processes the photo to determine the clothing attributes. In other possible implementations, clothing attributes can be determined based on the clothing material and style selected by the user through the control panel.

[0086] According to an exemplary embodiment of this application, this embodiment provides an ozone odor removal method for use in clothing treatment equipment, referring to... Figure 4 The flowchart illustrates the ozone odor removal method, which includes the following steps:

[0087] S41. Determine the target ozone deodorization method based on the type of odor in the clothing treated by garment processing tube 2.

[0088] Specifically, before entering the deodorization process, the garment processing equipment first determines the type of odor emanating from the garment processing drum 2. There are several ways to determine the odor type. One method is through an odor type selection option on the garment processing equipment's control panel, allowing the user to determine the odor type based on their selection. Another method is to use an odor sensor installed in the garment processing drum 2. After detecting the odor in the garment processing drum 2, the odor sensor compares it with an odor database stored in the garment processing equipment's control device; the odor type is then determined based on the comparison result.

[0089] Once the type of odor is determined, the target ozone deodorization method can be determined accordingly. Ozone deodorization methods include ozone gas deodorization alone, ozone gas combined with steam deodorization, and ozone foam deodorization.

[0090] In one example, there is a preset correspondence between odor types and ozone deodorization methods; specifically: the odor type with the easiest removal difficulty corresponds to ozone gas deodorization, while the odor type with the most difficult removal difficulty corresponds to ozone foam deodorization. Determining the target ozone deodorization method based on the odor type of the clothing in the garment treatment drum 2 includes: determining the target ozone deodorization method according to the preset correspondence.

[0091] For example, the difficulty of removing common odors in daily life, from most difficult to easiest, can be roughly ranked as follows: raw food odor > musty odor > smoke odor > hot pot odor > alcohol odor > sweat odor. If the odor is sweat, ozone gas alone can be used for removal. If the odor is alcohol, hot pot, or smoke, a combination of ozone and steam can be used. If the odor is raw food or musty, ozone foam can be used for both odor removal and cleaning.

[0092] In a specific example, the odor types include a first odor, a second odor, and a third odor, with the difficulty of removal increasing sequentially. The ozone removal method for the first odor is ozone gas deodorization alone; the ozone removal method for the second odor is a combination of ozone gas and steam deodorization; and the ozone removal method for the third odor is ozone foam deodorization. Examples of first odors include sweat, second odors include alcohol, hot pot, and cigarette smoke, and third odors include raw food odors and musty smells.

[0093] S42. Control the clothing treatment equipment to run the deodorization program according to the determined target ozone deodorization method.

[0094] Specifically, after determining the target ozone deodorization method, the deodorization process begins. If the target ozone deodorization method is ozone gas deodorization alone, the ozone generator is activated to produce ozone. If the target ozone deodorization method is ozone gas combined with steam deodorization, both the ozone generator and the steam generator are activated. If the target ozone deodorization method is ozone foam deodorization, the ozone generator and the bubble generator are controlled to add liquid. After passing through the foaming component 71 of the bubble generator, the ozone reacts with the liquid in the receiving box 73 to produce ozone foam, which enters the clothing treatment drum 2. In other feasible methods, three different ozone deodorization methods can be achieved by using an external ozone generator, a foam generator 7, and a steam generator connected to the clothing treatment equipment. During the deodorization process, the clothing treatment drum 2 can be rotated to improve the uniformity of ozone dispersion within the drum, and a circulating airflow can be further introduced into the drum to further deodorize the clothes evenly.

[0095] Furthermore, when there are multiple types of odors in clothing, the target ozone deodorization method is determined based on the type of odor in the clothing treatment tube 2. This includes: identifying the type of odor that is most difficult to remove among the multiple odor types; and using the ozone deodorization method corresponding to the type of odor that is most difficult to remove among the multiple odor types as the target ozone deodorization method, thereby ensuring the removal effect on all types of odors.

[0096] In one optional implementation of this application, after determining the ozone deodorization method and before executing the deodorization procedure, the deodorization parameters are controlled according to the odor type and clothing attributes; the clothing attributes include clothing material and clothing style, and the deodorization parameters include at least ozone concentration and ozone action duration.

[0097] Specifically, this embodiment also combines odor type with clothing properties to control odor removal parameters. Specifically, the initial odor removal parameters can be determined first based on the odor type. Among various odor types corresponding to different ozone odor removal methods, the odor type with greater difficulty in removal corresponds to a higher ozone concentration and a longer ozone action time in the initial odor removal parameters; and / or, among various odor types corresponding to the same ozone odor removal method, the odor type with greater difficulty in removal corresponds to a larger parameter value in the initial odor removal parameters. For example, if the odor is smoke, hot pot, or alcohol, the initial ozone concentration and ozone action time for smoke can be used as a reference; if the odor is hot pot or alcohol, the initial ozone concentration or ozone action time can be appropriately reduced. If the odor is raw food odor or musty odor, the initial ozone concentration and ozone action time for raw meat odor can be used as a reference; if the odor is musty, the initial foam ozone concentration or ozone action time can be appropriately reduced.

[0098] After determining the initial deodorization parameters, adjust them according to the clothing properties to determine the target deodorization parameters. Finally, control the clothing treatment equipment to operate according to the target deodorization parameters.

[0099] Specifically, there are several ways to determine clothing attributes. One method is based on the clothing information selected by the user through the control panel. Another method is based on the clothing image information captured by the image acquisition device on the front panel of the clothing treatment drum 2. Clothing materials with stronger odor adsorption capabilities correspond to higher ozone concentrations and longer ozone action times in the deodorization parameters; and / or, clothing with more complex designs corresponds to higher ozone concentrations and longer ozone action times in the deodorization parameters.

[0100] Clothing materials, such as wool, cotton-linen, and synthetic fibers, have the following adsorption capacity for odor molecules, from strongest to weakest: wool > cotton-linen ≈ synthetic fibers. Using cotton-linen as a reference, increase the ozone concentration or contact time for wool and decrease it for synthetic fibers. The overall shape of the clothing also affects the localized removal of odor molecules; the more complex the design, the more difficult it is to remove odor molecules from specific areas. For example, hoodies, jackets, and other garments with additional design elements increase the difficulty of odor removal. When clothing has such complex designs, increase the ozone concentration or contact time to improve evenness of odor removal and prevent incomplete removal of odors in certain areas.

[0101] In deodorization methods combining ozone and steam, the deodorization parameter also includes the steam action time. The more susceptible a clothing material is to steam, the shorter the steam action time should be. This is because high-temperature steam affects different clothing materials to varying degrees. For example, high-temperature steam has little effect on cotton and synthetic fibers, but for fabrics like wool and silk that are prone to shrinkage, deformation, and high-temperature damage, the steam action time for wool is shorter than for cotton and synthetic fibers to reduce damage. Since the effects of high-temperature steam on cotton and synthetic fibers are similar, the steam action time for both can be set to the same value.

[0102] In this embodiment, the ozone concentration refers to the ozone content per unit volume; an increase in ozone concentration means an increase in the ozone content per unit volume. When using ozone gas for deodorization, the ozone concentration inside the clothing treatment drum 2 can be directly determined by an ozone detector or test strips. When using ozone foam for deodorization, the ozone concentration inside the clothing treatment drum 2 can be determined by an ozone detector or test strips after the foam inside the drum defoams and dissolves into liquid, releasing the ozone.

[0103] Furthermore, when there are multiple types of clothing odors, the ozone deodorization method is first controlled based on the type of odor that is most difficult to remove. Then, the deodorization parameters are controlled by combining the type of odor that is most difficult to remove with the clothing properties. Even further, the deodorization parameters can be increased based on the parameters determined by combining the type of odor that is most difficult to remove with the clothing properties to further improve the removal effect on all types of odors in clothing.

[0104] According to an exemplary embodiment of this application, this embodiment provides an ozone odor removal method, which is applied to the clothing treatment device of the above embodiment. The ozone odor removal method includes:

[0105] Determine the target ozone deodorization method based on the type of odor emanating from the garment treatment drum 2;

[0106] Control the clothing processing equipment to operate the deodorization program according to the determined target ozone deodorization method;

[0107] Ozone deodorization methods include ozone gas deodorization alone, ozone gas combined with steam deodorization, and ozone foam deodorization.

[0108] In one optional implementation of this application embodiment, after determining the ozone deodorization method and before executing the deodorization procedure, the deodorization parameters are controlled according to the type of odor and the properties of the clothing.

[0109] Clothing attributes include clothing material and clothing style, and odor removal parameters include at least ozone concentration and ozone exposure time.

[0110] The specific operation of the ozone odor removal method in the above embodiments has been described in detail above, and will not be repeated here.

[0111] The ozone odor removal method of this embodiment will be described in detail below with specific examples.

[0112] Reference Figure 5The flowchart illustrates the process: Before placing the clothing in the garment processing equipment, the user presses the power button to activate the garment image acquisition device. The user then takes a picture of the clothing in front of the device, which records the garment's information (process S1). This information includes the garment's material and style. Alternatively, the user can select and input the garment information themselves. The location of the garment image acquisition device is not specifically limited and can be placed on the front panel of the garment processing equipment housing 1. After the garment image is captured, the user places the clothing into the garment processing drum 2 (process S2). The user can then select a deodorization program and odor type on the operation panel based on the garment's odor condition (process S3). Specifically, the deodorization program includes odor type selection options such as sweat odor, mildew odor, smoke odor, hot pot odor, alcohol odor, and raw food odor. After selecting the deodorization program, the user can then select the odor type based on the actual odor condition of the clothing (S41-S46). One or more odor types can be selected. After the user selects the odor type, the clothing treatment equipment will match the ozone deodorization method and deodorization parameters according to the odor type (process S5).

[0113] The following provides a detailed introduction to the odor removal process for different types of odors.

[0114] like Figure 6 The flowchart shown illustrates that when the odor type is alcoholic (process S41), ozone gas combined with steam is selected for deodorization. Then, the clothing material is determined based on the previously entered clothing information (process S5). If the clothing material is cotton, the steam treatment duration can be t11, the ozone concentration C11, and the ozone treatment duration T11 (process S61); if the clothing material is wool, the steam treatment duration can be t12, the ozone concentration C12, and the ozone treatment duration T12 (process S62); if the clothing material is synthetic fiber, the steam treatment duration can be t13, the ozone concentration C13, and the ozone treatment duration T13 (process S63). The steam treatment durations are in the order t13 > t11 > t12, the ozone concentrations are C12 > C11 > C13, and T12 > T11 = T13.

[0115] Then, based on the previously entered clothing information, determine if the clothing has a complex design (process S7). If it does, appropriately increase the ozone concentration or ozone treatment time (process S8), without increasing the steam treatment time or energy consumption. Specifically: if the clothing material is cotton, the ozone concentration is C11' and the ozone treatment time is T11'; if the clothing material is wool, the ozone concentration is C12' and the ozone treatment time is T12'; if the clothing material is synthetic fiber, the ozone concentration is C13' and the ozone treatment time is T13'. Afterward, start the deodorization program. If there is no complex design, start the deodorization program directly.

[0116] For example, with a 1kg load, the steam treatment time t11 can be selected as 6min-9min, preferably 7min; the ozone concentration C11 can be selected as 5ppm-9ppm, preferably 6ppm; the ozone treatment time T11 can be selected as 5min-12min, preferably 6min; the steam treatment time t12 can be selected as 3min-7min, preferably 5min; the ozone concentration C12 can be selected as 7ppm-12ppm, preferably 8ppm; the ozone treatment time T12 can be selected as 6min-16min, preferably 7min; the steam treatment time t13 can be selected as 6min-9min, preferably 7min; the ozone concentration C13 can be selected as... The ozone concentration is 4ppm-8ppm, preferably 5ppm, and the ozone treatment time T13 can be selected from 5min-12min, preferably 6min; the ozone concentration C11' can be selected from 6ppm-10ppm, preferably 7ppm, and the ozone treatment time T11' can be selected from 6min-13min, preferably 7min; the ozone concentration C12' can be selected from 8ppm-13ppm, preferably 9ppm, and the ozone treatment time T12' can be selected from 7min-17min, preferably 8min; the ozone concentration C13' can be selected from 5-9ppm, preferably 6ppm, and the ozone treatment time T13' can be selected from 6min-13min, preferably 7min.

[0117] like Figure 7 The flowchart shown illustrates that when the odor type is hot pot smell (process S42), ozone gas combined with steam is selected for deodorization. Then, the clothing material is determined based on the previously entered clothing information (process S5). If the clothing material is cotton, the steam treatment duration can be t21, the ozone concentration C21, and the ozone treatment duration T21 (process S64); if the clothing material is wool, the steam treatment duration can be t22, the ozone concentration C22, and the ozone treatment duration T22 (process S65); if the clothing material is synthetic fiber, the steam treatment duration can be t23, the ozone concentration C23, and the ozone treatment duration T23 (process S66). The steam treatment durations are in the order t23 > t21 > t22, the ozone concentrations are C22 > C21 > C23, and T22 > T21 = T23.

[0118] Then, based on the previously entered clothing information, determine if the clothing has a complex design (process S7). If a complex design exists, appropriately increase the ozone concentration or extend the ozone treatment time (process S8). Specifically: if the clothing material is cotton, the ozone concentration is C21' and the ozone treatment time is T21'; if the clothing material is wool, the ozone concentration is C22' and the ozone treatment time is T22'; if the clothing material is synthetic fiber, the ozone concentration is C23' and the ozone treatment time is T23'. Afterward, start the deodorization program. If there is no complex design, start the deodorization program directly.

[0119] For example, with a 1kg load, the steam treatment time t21 can be selected as 7min-9min, preferably 8min; the ozone concentration C21 can be selected as 6ppm-10ppm, preferably 8ppm; the ozone treatment time T21 can be selected as 5min-14min, preferably 7min; the steam treatment time t22 can be selected as 4min-7min, preferably 6min; the ozone concentration C22 can be selected as 9ppm-14ppm, preferably 10ppm; the ozone treatment time T22 can be selected as 8min-18min, preferably 9min; the steam treatment time t23 can be selected as 7min-9min, preferably 8min; the ozone concentration C23 can be selected as 4ppm... The ozone concentration is 9 ppm, preferably 7 ppm, and the ozone exposure time T23 can be selected from 5 min to 14 min, preferably 7 min; the ozone concentration C21' can be selected from 7 ppm to 11 ppm, preferably 9 ppm, and the ozone exposure time T21' can be selected from 6 min to 15 min, preferably 8 min; the ozone concentration C22' can be selected from 10 ppm to 15 ppm, preferably 11 ppm, and the ozone exposure time T22' can be selected from 9 min to 19 min, preferably 10 min; the ozone concentration C23' can be selected from 5 ppm to 10 ppm, preferably 8 ppm, and the ozone exposure time T23' can be selected from 6 min to 15 min, preferably 8 min.

[0120] like Figure 8The flowchart shown illustrates that when the odor type is smoke (process S43), ozone gas combined with steam is selected for deodorization. Then, the clothing material is determined based on the previously entered clothing information (process S5). If the clothing material is cotton, the steam treatment duration can be t31, the ozone concentration C31, and the ozone treatment duration T31 (process S67); if the clothing material is wool, the steam treatment duration can be t32, the ozone concentration C32, and the ozone treatment duration T32 (process S68); if the clothing material is synthetic fiber, the steam treatment duration can be t33, the ozone concentration C33, and the ozone treatment duration T33 (process S69). The steam treatment durations are in the order t33 > t31 > t32, the ozone concentrations are C32 > C31 > C33, and T32 > T31 = T33.

[0121] Then, based on the previously entered clothing information, determine if the clothing has a complex design (process S7). If a complex design exists, appropriately increase the ozone concentration or extend the ozone treatment time (process S8), specifically: if the clothing material is cotton, the ozone concentration is C31' and the ozone treatment time is T31'; if the clothing material is wool, the ozone concentration is C32' and the ozone treatment time is T32'; if the clothing material is synthetic fiber, the ozone concentration is C33' and the ozone treatment time is T33'. Afterward, start the deodorization program. If there is no complex design, start the deodorization program directly.

[0122] For example, with a 1kg load, the steam treatment duration t31 can be selected as 7min-9min, preferably 8min; the ozone concentration C31 can be selected as 8ppm-12ppm, preferably 10ppm; the ozone treatment duration T31 can be selected as 6min-15min, preferably 8min; the steam treatment duration t32 can be selected as 4min-7min, preferably 6min; the ozone concentration C32 can be selected as 10ppm-15ppm, preferably 12ppm; the ozone treatment duration T32 can be selected as 8min-20min, preferably 10min; the steam treatment duration t33 can be selected as 7min-9min, preferably 8min; the ozone concentration C33 can be selected as 5ppm-10ppm, preferably 8ppm; the ozone treatment duration T33 can be selected as 6min-15min, preferably 8min. The ozone concentration C31' can be selected as 9ppm-14ppm, preferably 11ppm; the ozone treatment duration T31' can be selected as 7ppm-17min, preferably 9min. C32' can be selected from 11ppm to 16ppm, preferably 13ppm; T32' can be selected from 9min to 22min, preferably 11min; C33' can be selected from 6ppm to 11ppm, preferably 9ppm; T33' can be selected from 7min to 17min, preferably 9min.

[0123] like Figure 9 The flowchart shown illustrates that when the odor type is musty (process S44), ozone foam is selected for deodorization. Then, the clothing material is determined based on the previously entered clothing information (process S5). If the clothing material is cotton, the ozone concentration can be selected as C41, and the ozone foam action time as T41 (process S610); if the clothing material is wool, the ozone concentration can be selected as C42, and the ozone foam action time as T42 (process S611); if the clothing material is synthetic fiber, the ozone concentration can be selected as C43, and the ozone foam action time as T43 (process S612). Wherein, C42 > C41 > C43, and T42 > T41 = T43.

[0124] Then, based on the previously entered clothing information, determine if the clothing has a complex design (process S7). If it does, appropriately increase the ozone concentration or extend the ozone treatment time (process S8). Specifically: if the clothing is cotton, the ozone concentration is C41' and the ozone foam treatment time is T41'; if the clothing is wool, the ozone concentration is C42' and the ozone foam treatment time is T42'; if the clothing is synthetic fiber, the ozone concentration is C43' and the ozone foam treatment time is T43'. Afterward, start the deodorization program. If there is no complex design, start the deodorization program directly.

[0125] For example, at a 1kg load, the ozone concentration C41 can be selected as 9ppm-13ppm, preferably 10ppm-11ppm, and the ozone foam action time T41 can be selected as 7min-13min, preferably 9min; the ozone concentration C42 can be selected as 10ppm-15ppm, preferably 12ppm-13ppm, and the ozone foam action time T42 can be selected as 9min-15min, preferably 11min; the ozone concentration C43 can be selected as 7ppm-11ppm, preferably 8ppm-9ppm, and the ozone foam action time T43 can be selected as 7min-13min, preferably 9min. n; the ozone concentration C41' can be selected as 10ppm-14ppm, preferably 11ppm-12ppm, and the ozone foam action time T41' can be selected as 7min-13min, preferably 9min; the ozone concentration C42' can be selected as 11ppm-16ppm, preferably 13ppm-14ppm, and the ozone foam action time T42' can be selected as 9min-15min, preferably 11min; the ozone concentration C43' can be selected as 8ppm-12ppm, preferably 9ppm-10ppm, and the ozone foam action time T43' can be selected as 7min-13min, preferably 9min.

[0126] like Figure 10The flowchart shown indicates that when the odor type is a raw food smell (process S45), ozone foam is selected for odor removal. Then, the clothing material is determined based on the previously entered clothing information (process S5). If the clothing material is cotton, the ozone concentration can be selected as C51, and the ozone foam action time as T51 (process S613); if the clothing material is wool, the ozone concentration can be selected as C52, and the ozone foam action time as T52 (process S614); if the clothing material is synthetic fiber, the ozone concentration can be selected as C53, and the ozone foam action time as T53 (process S615). Wherein, C52 > C51 > C53, and T52 > T51 = T53.

[0127] Then, based on the previously entered clothing information, determine whether the clothing has a complex design (process S7). If it does, appropriately increase the ozone concentration or the ozone treatment time (process S8). Specifically: if the clothing material is cotton, the ozone concentration is C51' and the ozone foam treatment time is T51'; if the clothing material is wool, the ozone concentration is C52' and the ozone foam treatment time is T52'; if the clothing material is synthetic fiber, the ozone concentration is C53' and the ozone foam treatment time is T53'. Then, start the deodorization program.

[0128] For example, at a 1kg load, the ozone concentration C51 can be selected as 10ppm-15ppm, preferably 11ppm-12ppm, and the ozone foam action time T51 can be selected as 8min-15min, preferably 11min; C52 can be selected as 12ppm-17ppm, preferably 13ppm-14ppm, and T52 can be selected as 10min-17min, preferably 13min; C53 can be selected as 8ppm-13ppm, preferably 9ppm-10ppm, and T53 can be selected as 8min-15min, preferably 11min. The ozone concentration C51' can be selected as 11ppm-16ppm, preferably 12ppm-13ppm, and the ozone foam action time T51' can be selected as 8min-15min, preferably 11min; C52' can be selected as 13ppm-18ppm, preferably...

[0129] 14ppm-15ppm, T52' can be selected as 10min-17min, preferably 13min; C53' can be selected as 9ppm-14ppm, preferably 10ppm-11ppm, T53' can be selected as 8min-15min, preferably 11min.

[0130] like Figure 11The flowchart shown indicates that when the odor type is sweat (process S46), ozone is used for deodorization. Then, the clothing material is determined based on the previously entered clothing information (process S5). If the clothing material is cotton, an ozone concentration of C61 and an ozone treatment time of T61 can be selected (process S616); if the clothing material is wool, an ozone concentration of C62 and an ozone treatment time of T62 can be selected (process S617); if the clothing material is synthetic fiber, a steam treatment time of t63, an ozone concentration of C63, and an ozone treatment time of T63 can be selected (process S618). C62 > C61 > C63, T62 > T61 = T63.

[0131] Then, based on the previously entered clothing information, determine whether the clothing has a complex design (process S7). If a complex design exists, appropriately increase the ozone concentration or extend the ozone treatment time (process S8). If the clothing material is cotton, the ozone concentration is C61' and the ozone treatment time is T61'; if the clothing material is wool, the ozone concentration is C62' and the ozone treatment time is T62'; if the clothing material is synthetic fiber, the ozone concentration is C63' and the ozone treatment time is T63'.

[0132] For example, at a loading rate of 1 kg, the ozone concentration C61 can be selected as 6 ppm-10 ppm, preferably 8 ppm; the ozone reaction time T61 can be selected as 8 min-15 min, preferably 10 min; the ozone concentration C62 can be selected as 8 ppm-12 ppm, preferably 10 ppm; the ozone reaction time T62 can be selected as 10 min-17 min, preferably 12 min; the ozone concentration C63 can be selected as 5 ppm-9 ppm, preferably 7 ppm; the ozone reaction time T63 can be selected as 8 min-15 min, preferably 10 min. ozone concentration C61' can be selected from 7ppm to 11ppm, preferably 9ppm; ozone reaction time T61' can be selected from 9min to 16min, preferably 11min; ozone concentration C62' can be selected from 9ppm to 13ppm, preferably 11ppm; ozone reaction time T62' can be selected from 11min to 18min, preferably 13min; ozone concentration C63' can be selected from 6ppm to 10ppm, preferably 8ppm; ozone reaction time T63' can be selected from 9min to 16min, preferably 11min.

[0133] In summary, this embodiment selects different ozone deodorization methods and parameters based on the type of clothing odor, and optimizes the deodorization parameters according to the clothing properties, thus achieving thorough removal of different types of odors. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to increase the steam treatment time or the internal temperature of the cylinder to improve odor removal efficiency, effectively saving energy.
