DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the implementation mode of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the implementation mode of the present application. Obviously, the described implementation mode is only a part of the implementation mode of the present application, not all the implementation modes. Based on the implementation mode in the present application, all other implementation modes obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0041] It should be understood that the "plurality" mentioned herein refers to two or more than two. In the description of the implementation modes of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in order to facilitate the clear description of the technical solutions of the implementation modes of the present application, in the implementation modes of the present application, the words "first", "second" and the like are used to distinguish between the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and effects. Those skilled in the art can understand that the words "first", "second" and the like do not limit the quantity and execution order, and the words "first", "second" and the like do not limit certain different

[0042] In addition, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements explicitly listed, but may include other steps or elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0043] In real life, users are prone to various odors, such as smoke, sweat, hot pot, snail noodle, etc. In related technologies, washing machines are combined with nano-photocatalytic technology to use light of a specific wavelength to excite nano-photocatalysts to remove odors from clothes in washing machines. However, this simple use of nano-photocatalytic technology to remove odors from clothes cannot completely remove odors from clothes.

[0044] In the related art, a clothing treatment device with a clothing care function usually realizes clothing care by introducing clothing care gas into a clothing treatment drum. When using clothing care gas to care for clothing, the clothing care gas often leaks into the housing of the clothing treatment device due to the loose fit between the structural parts of the machine, especially when the clothing care gas is introduced during blowing, the leakage of the clothing care gas will be increased.

[0045] In addition, during the operation of the clothing processing equipment, the motor, compressor, etc. of the clothing processing equipment will generate heat, and the clothing processing equipment will also generate a large amount of heat when drying clothes. In order to avoid excessive temperature affecting the normal operation of components and causing excessive temperature of the outer shell of the clothing processing equipment to cause a touch hazard, timely heat dissipation is required. The shell of the clothing processing equipment usually has heat dissipation holes or heat dissipation grilles. The heat generated during the operation of the clothing processing equipment will be dissipated from the heat dissipation holes or heat dissipation grilles to the external environment. In the process of the clothing processing equipment using clothing care gas to care for clothes, the clothing care gas leaked into the shell will also enter the external environment along with the heat, thereby polluting the external environment.

[0046] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a clothes processing device, the clothes processing device comprising:

[0047] The housing comprises a housing body, a first heat dissipation portion and a second heat dissipation portion, wherein the first heat dissipation portion comprises a heat dissipation fin, the heat dissipation fin is sealed and connected to the housing body, and the second heat dissipation portion comprises a heat dissipation hole, and the heat dissipation hole is arranged on the housing body and / or the heat dissipation fin;

[0048] An opening and closing device, which is arranged on the housing and is used to open or close the heat dissipation hole;

[0049] A drum assembly is arranged in the shell. In the clothing care program, clothing care gas is introduced into the drum assembly. An installation space is formed between the drum assembly and the shell. When the opening and closing device opens the heat dissipation hole, the installation space is connected to the external environment through the heat dissipation hole.

[0050] A control device, which is connected to the opening and closing device by signal, and the control device controls the opening and closing state of the heat dissipation hole through the opening and closing device;

[0051] The control device is configured to control the opening and closing state of the heat dissipation holes according to whether there is a risk of clothing care gas being discharged through the heat dissipation holes in the installation space during the clothing processing process, so as to use the heat sink to dissipate heat for the clothing processing device alone, or use the heat sink and the heat dissipation holes to dissipate heat for the clothing processing device synergistically.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first heat dissipation part and the second heat dissipation part are provided on the shell. During the operation of the clothing treatment device, the heat sink of the first heat dissipation part can always dissipate heat for the clothing treatment device. The opening and closing state of the heat dissipation holes of the second heat dissipation part is determined according to whether there is a risk of clothing care gas being discharged through the heat dissipation holes in the installation space. When there is a risk of clothing care gas being discharged through the heat dissipation holes in the installation space, the heat dissipation holes are closed to prevent the clothing care gas from being discharged into the external environment and polluting the external environment. When there is no risk of clothing care gas being discharged through the heat dissipation holes in the installation space, the heat dissipation holes are opened. The heat dissipation holes and the heat sink cooperate to dissipate heat for the clothing treatment device, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the clothing treatment device and reducing the risk of high temperature touch.

[0053] The technical solution of this embodiment is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and examples can be combined with each other if there is no conflict.

[0054] This embodiment provides a clothes processing device, which can be a washing machine, a dryer and a washer-dryer with a clothes care function. The clothes care function includes at least one of sterilizing, deodorizing and wrinkle removing the clothes. Figure 1 2 is a cross-sectional front view of the laundry processing device of this embodiment. Figure 1The clothing treatment device includes a housing 1 and a drum assembly disposed in the housing 1, the drum assembly includes an outer drum and a clothing treatment drum 2 rotatably disposed in the outer drum, and a drum wall of the clothing treatment drum 2 is provided with a plurality of flow openings. When the clothing treatment device runs a clothing care program, clothing care gas is introduced into the drum assembly, and the clothing care gas flows between the outer drum and the inner drum through the flow openings. The clothing care gas is, for example, a gas that can sterilize, deodorize or remove wrinkles on clothing. Exemplarily, the clothing care gas is ozone or high-temperature steam.

[0055] The outer cylinder is also provided with a drain port, which is connected to a drain pipe, and the drain pipe is provided with a drain pump 11 , and an installation space is formed between the cylinder assembly and the shell 1 .

[0056] The shell 1 includes a shell body, a first heat dissipation part and a second heat dissipation part. The first heat dissipation part includes a heat sink 102, which is sealed and connected to the shell body. The heat sink 102 is made of a heat-conducting material, which can quickly remove the heat generated during the operation of the clothing processing device and dissipate the heat through heat exchange with the outside air. Exemplarily, the heat sink 102 is made of aluminum or copper-aluminum materials. The second heat dissipation part includes a heat dissipation hole 103, which is provided in the shell body and / or the heat sink 102. The heat dissipation hole 103 serves to increase the heat dissipation. It is preferred that the heat dissipation hole 103 is opened on the heat dissipation plate to avoid the heat dissipation hole 103 occupying additional space in the shell 1.

[0057] The clothing processing device also includes an opening and closing device, which is arranged on the shell 1 and is used to open or close the heat dissipation hole 103. The opening and closing device is, for example, a combination of a vent valve or a stepper motor and a baffle. When the opening and closing device opens the heat dissipation hole 103, the installation space is connected to the external environment through the heat dissipation hole 103, and the heat generated by the clothing processing device can be dissipated from the heat dissipation hole 103; when the opening and closing device seals the heat dissipation hole 103, it can block the gas in the installation space from flowing to the external environment through the heat dissipation hole 103, so as to prevent the clothing care gas in the barrel assembly from leaking into the installation space and then being discharged from the heat dissipation hole 103 to pollute the external environment. In addition, since the shell 1 is provided with a heat sink 102, the heat dissipation of the clothing processing device can be guaranteed when the heat dissipation hole 103 is closed, thereby ensuring the reliable operation of the clothing processing device.

[0058] The number of heat sinks 102 and heat dissipation holes 103 is not limited. Figure 2 The first heat dissipation part includes a plurality of heat dissipation plates, and the second heat dissipation part includes a plurality of heat dissipation holes 103. The plurality of heat dissipation fins 102 correspond to the heat dissipation holes 103 one by one. In other achievable embodiments, the heat dissipation fins 102 and the heat dissipation holes 103 are distributed to different parts of the shell body.

[0059] The locations of the heat sink 102 and the heat dissipation holes 103 in the housing 1 are not limited. Figure 2The shell body includes a rear shell 101, and heat sinks 102 and heat dissipation holes 103 are both arranged on the rear shell 101. In order to achieve efficient heat dissipation of the clothes processing device, a heating element is arranged in the installation space, and the heating element is, for example, a compressor and a motor, and the heat sink 102 and / or the heat dissipation hole 103 are arranged at positions of the shell 1 corresponding to the heating element.

[0060] The number of opening and closing devices is also not limited. In one example, there are multiple opening and closing devices, and the multiple opening and closing devices correspond one to one with the multiple heat dissipation holes 103. In a gas-realizable manner, the number of opening and closing devices is less than the number of heat dissipation holes 103, and one opening and closing device can seal multiple heat dissipation holes 103 by designing the structural form and setting position of the opening and closing device.

[0061] The clothing treatment device further includes a control device, which is connected to the opening and closing device by signal, and the control device controls the opening and closing state of the heat dissipation hole 103 through the opening and closing device. The control device is configured to control the opening and closing state of the heat dissipation hole 103 during the clothing treatment process according to whether there is a risk of clothing care gas being discharged through the heat dissipation hole 103 in the installation space, so that the heat sink 102 dissipates heat to the clothing treatment device alone, or the heat sink 102 and the heat dissipation hole 103 dissipate heat to the clothing treatment device in coordination.

[0062] In this embodiment, when there is a risk of clothing care gas being discharged through the heat dissipation holes 103 in the installation space, it means that there is a risk of clothing care gas being discharged through the heat dissipation holes 103 and polluting the external environment. At this time, the control device controls the opening and closing device to seal the heat dissipation holes 103. When there is no risk of clothing care gas being discharged through the heat dissipation holes 103 in the installation space, it means that there is no risk of clothing care gas being discharged through the heat dissipation holes 103 and polluting the external environment. At this time, the control device controls the opening and closing device to open the heat dissipation holes 103 to improve the heat dissipation effect of the clothing treatment device.

[0063] There are various ways for the control device to determine whether there is a risk of the clothing care gas being discharged from the installation space through the heat dissipation holes 103 .

[0064] In one achievable manner, the control device is configured to determine whether there is a risk of the clothing care gas being discharged from the installation space through the heat dissipation holes 103 according to the clothing treatment program in which the clothing treatment apparatus is located.

[0065] Specifically, there are multiple laundry processing programs in this embodiment, which can be determined according to the structural type of the laundry processing device. For example, the laundry processing program of a washing machine with a laundry care function includes a washing program and a laundry care program; the laundry processing program of a clothes dryer with a laundry care function includes a laundry care program and a drying program; the laundry processing program of a washing and drying machine with a laundry care function includes a laundry care program, a washing program and a drying program.

[0066] Since the clothing care gas needs to be introduced into the drum assembly when the clothing treatment device runs the clothing care program. When sterilizing the clothing, the clothing care gas is, for example, ozone; when deodorizing the clothing, the clothing care gas is, for example, ozone, nitrogen or steam; when wrinkle removal is performed on the clothing, the clothing care gas is, for example, steam. The clothing care gas in this embodiment can come from the gas generator of the clothing treatment device itself, or from an external gas generator.

[0067] Only when the clothing treatment device runs a clothing care program, clothing care gas may leak from the barrel assembly into the installation space and be discharged to the outside environment through the heat dissipation holes 103. Therefore, it can be determined whether there is a risk of clothing care gas being discharged from the installation space through the heat dissipation holes 103 according to the clothing treatment program in which the clothing treatment device is located. When the clothing treatment device is in the clothing care program, there is a risk of clothing care gas being discharged from the installation space through the heat dissipation holes 103, and the heat dissipation holes 103 are closed at this time. When the clothing treatment device runs other clothing care programs except the clothing care program, clothing care gas will not be introduced into the barrel assembly, so there will be no situation where clothing care gas leaks from the barrel assembly into the installation space and is discharged to the outside environment through the heat dissipation holes 103. At this time, the heat dissipation holes 103 can be opened to assist in heat dissipation.

[0068] In another achievable manner, the clothes treating apparatus comprises a gas generating device, which is disposed in the installation space and is used to generate clothes care gas and is capable of passing the clothes care gas into the drum assembly.

[0069] The clothing care gas is ozone, and the gas generating device includes an ozone generator 5 and an air pump 4, wherein: the ozone generator 5 and the air pump 4 are installed in the installation space and located at the bottom of the housing 1, and the ozone generator 5 and the air pump 4 are connected by a hose. The ozone generator can be installed in front of the air pump 4 or behind the air pump 4. The ozone generator can be a ceramic sheet ozone generator, a tube ozone generator or an ultraviolet ozone generator.

[0070] In one example, the ozone generator is a ceramic sheet ozone generator, which includes a generating sheet 51 and a high-voltage power supply 52. ​​The generating sheet 51 is installed in a sealed box body (not shown in the figure), and the sealed box body can be cylindrical or rectangular. The high-voltage power supply 52 is arranged in the mounting shell 6, and the high-voltage power supply 52 outputs high voltage electricity to the generating sheet 51. The generating sheet 51 generates high-voltage corona discharge to ionize the oxygen-containing air flowing through the generating sheet 51 and recombine to generate ozone.

[0071] The generating sheet 51 can be directly connected to the door seal 3 through the air outlet pipe 10, or the clothing processing device further includes a foam generating device, and the generating sheet 51 is connected to the foam generating device through a connecting hose 9, and the connecting hose 9 is provided with a check valve 7. The ozone generated by the generating sheet 51 passes through the foam generating device and then is connected to the door seal 3 through the air outlet pipe 10, and the foam generating device can be used to generate foam containing ozone.

[0072] The working principle of the gas generating device is as follows: the air pump 4 supplies oxygen-containing air to the generating sheet 51 of the gas generating device, the generating sheet generates high-voltage corona discharge to produce ozone, and the ozone-containing gas passes through the bubble generating device and then enters the clothing processing drum 3 through the outlet pipe 10 connected to the door seal 3 to perform clothing care operations such as sterilization and deodorization on the clothing.

[0073] In other achievable embodiments, the clothing care gas includes steam, and the clothing processing device also includes a steam generator 12 , which is arranged in the installation space and located at the top of the shell 1 , and the steam outlet of the steam generator 12 is connected to the outer drum through a steam outlet pipe 15 .

[0074] The clothing treatment device also includes a drying system, which includes a drying duct 14, a drying fan 13 and a heat pump system. The heat pump system includes a refrigerant circulation loop formed by a compressor, a condenser, an electronic expansion valve and an evaporator. The outer cylinder includes an air inlet and an air outlet, the air inlet is arranged at the door seal 3, and the air outlet is arranged at the upper part of the outer cylinder. The drying duct 14 includes an air inlet duct and an air outlet duct. The air inlet duct connects the air outlet of the outer cylinder with the air inlet end of the drying fan 13, and the air outlet duct connects the air inlet of the outer cylinder with the air outlet end of the drying fan 13. When the clothing treatment device runs a clothing care program, the drying fan can be started to introduce air flow into the same component to promote the uniform distribution effect of the clothing care gas inside the cylinder component.

[0075] The control device is configured to determine whether there is a risk of the installation space discharging clothing care gas through the heat dissipation holes 103 according to the activation state of the gas generator. In this embodiment, the activation state of the gas generator can be confirmed in real time during the clothing treatment process, or the activation state of the gas generator can be confirmed only during the clothing care program.

[0076] Specifically, since the clothing care gas is generated only when the gas generating device is turned on, it is possible that the clothing care gas leaks from the barrel assembly into the installation space and is discharged to the outside environment through the heat dissipation holes 103. Therefore, it can be determined whether there is a risk of clothing care gas being discharged from the installation space through the heat dissipation holes 103 according to the startup state of the gas generating device.

[0077] When the gas generating device is in an on state, the gas generating device generates clothing care gas, and there is a risk that the clothing care gas is discharged from the installation space through the heat dissipation holes 103 .

[0078] When the gas generating device is in the off state, the clothing processing device may be running other clothing care programs besides the clothing care program, or the clothing processing device may have just entered the clothing care program and has not yet reached the time for passing clothing care gas into the drum assembly. At this time, there is no risk of discharging clothing care gas through the heat dissipation holes 103 in the installation space.

[0079] When the gas generator changes from the on state to the off state, it is necessary to detect the duration of the off state. If the duration of the off state of the gas generator does not reach the set duration, and the gas generator is turned on again, it means that the clothing care program has not ended, and there is still a risk of clothing care gas being discharged through the heat dissipation holes 103. At this time, it is determined that there is a risk of clothing care gas being discharged through the heat dissipation holes 103 in the installation space, and the heat dissipation holes 103 need to be closed. If the duration of the off state of the gas generator reaches the set duration, it means that the clothing care program is over. At this time, it is determined that there is no risk of clothing care gas being discharged through the heat dissipation holes 103 in the installation space, and the heat dissipation holes 103 can be opened to assist in heat dissipation.

[0080] It should be noted that, when the clothing care gas is ozone, the above-mentioned set duration includes a first duration and a second duration, wherein the first duration is the duration for determining the end of the clothing care program, and the second duration is the duration for determining that the ozone in the clothing treatment barrel is degraded to a safe concentration range. The second duration can be determined based on the target ozone concentration and the leakage ratio in the barrel assembly, and the leakage ratio refers to the ratio of the ozone concentration introduced into the clothing treatment barrel to the ozone concentration leaked into the installation space. For example, when the target ozone concentration for sterilization in the barrel is 10ppm, when the leakage ratio is 1 / 10, the ozone concentration leaked into the shell is 1ppm, and the degradation time of 1ppm to 0.05ppm or 0.15ppm requires 5 to 10 minutes, so the ozone degradation time T2 can be selected as 5 to 10 minutes.

[0081] In another achievable manner, the clothing treatment device includes: a detection device, which is arranged in the installation space and is used to detect the concentration of clothing care gas in the installation space. When the clothing care gas is ozone, the detection device is an ozone concentration detection device. The control device is configured to determine whether there is a risk of the installation space being discharged through the heat dissipation hole 103 according to the concentration of the clothing care gas in the installation space. The detection device can detect the concentration of clothing care gas in real time during the clothing treatment process, or can detect the concentration of clothing care gas only during the clothing care program.

[0082] Specifically, the concentration of clothing care gas in the installation space directly reflects the degree of leakage of clothing care gas from the barrel assembly to the installation space. The greater the clothing care concentration detected by the detection device, the more serious the leakage of clothing care gas to the installation space, and the greater the possibility that the clothing care gas is discharged to the external environment through the heat dissipation holes 103. Therefore, this embodiment determines whether there is a risk of discharging clothing care gas through the heat dissipation holes 103 by detecting the clothing care gas concentration in the installation space. When the clothing care gas concentration in the installation space is less than the set concentration, it means that there is a risk of discharging clothing care gas through the heat dissipation holes 103 in the installation space. If there is no risk of clothing care gas being discharged, the heat dissipation holes 103 can be opened to assist in heat dissipation. When the clothing care gas concentration in the installation space is greater than or equal to the set concentration, it means that there is a risk of discharging clothing care gas through the heat dissipation holes 103 in the installation space, and the heat dissipation holes 103 need to be closed.

[0099] The heat dissipation control method of this embodiment has been introduced in detail in the clothing processing device part, and will not be repeated here.

[0100] The technical solution of this embodiment is described in detail below by taking ozone to sterilize or remove odor from clothes as an example, but the protection scope of this application shall not be limited thereby.

[0101] In this embodiment, heat is dissipated by replacing the original heat dissipation grille or the normally open heat dissipation holes 103 with the heat dissipation fins 102, and a small number of heat dissipation holes 103 with controllable opening and closing states are provided in the shell. This not only avoids ozone leakage into the shell, but also can dissipate heat better, breaking through the limitations of conventional clothing processing equipment on the use of ozone.

[0102] like Figure 2It is a layout diagram of the heat sink 102 on the rear shell 101 of the clothing processing device. The heat sink 102 can be set to 1 to 4, and can be optionally 2. The heat sink 102 can be arranged at the position of the original heat dissipation grille or the normally open heat dissipation hole 103, and can also be arranged near the position of the heating element in the shell, without taking up additional space. The heat dissipation hole 103 can be provided on the heat sink 102 or the shell. It is preferred that the heat dissipation hole 103 is opened on the heat sink 102 to avoid the heat dissipation hole 103 occupying additional space. The opening and closing device can open and close the heat dissipation hole 103, and the opening and closing device is, for example, a combination of a vent valve or a drive device (a small stepping motor) and a baffle. The clothing processing device includes an ozone generator, which generates ozone and can pass the ozone into the clothing processing drum.

[0103] In one achievable manner, Figure 3 As shown in the flowchart, the clothing treatment equipment does not have an ozone detection device to reduce costs. The specific control process is as follows:

[0104] The clothes processing device starts to run, and the clothes processing program currently running in the clothes processing device is determined.

[0105] If the current clothing treatment program is not an ozone sterilization or deodorization program, it means that ozone is not passed throughout the entire process of running the program, and there is no ozone leakage. The heat dissipation holes 103 can be controlled to be always open throughout the entire process to dissipate heat in the best heat dissipation state.

[0106] If the current clothing treatment program is an ozone sterilization or deodorization program, it means that the program will pass ozone into the clothing treatment drum. When running the program, it is necessary to detect the on and off status of the ozone generator and control the opening and closing of the heat dissipation holes 103 according to the on and off status of the ozone generator.

[0107] When the ozone sterilization or deodorization program is just entered, if the ozone generator is detected to be in the started state, it means that the ozone generator is passing ozone into the clothing treatment drum to sterilize or deodorize the clothes, and the heat dissipation holes 103 are controlled to be closed during the ozone passing period; if the ozone generator is detected to be in the off state, it means that ozone has not yet started to be passed into the clothing treatment drum, and the heat dissipation holes 103 can be controlled to open to assist in heat dissipation.

[0108] During the period when the ozone generator is passing ozone into the laundry treatment drum, the on / off state of the ozone generator is continuously monitored. If the ozone generator is detected to be in the on state, the heat dissipation hole 103 is maintained in the closed state. If the ozone generator is detected to be off, the duration of the ozone generator being in the off state is continuously monitored, and it is determined whether the ozone generator is started again within the duration T1; T1 can be selected from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.

[0109] If the ozone generator is started again within the duration T1, it means that the ozone sterilization or deodorization stage has not yet ended, and the heat dissipation hole 103 needs to be kept closed, and the step of monitoring the opening and closing state of the ozone generator is returned; if the ozone generator is no longer started, it means that the ozone sterilization or deodorization stage is over, and the ozone degradation process begins. After the ozone degradation time T2, it means that the ozone concentration has degraded to a safe value range, and the heat dissipation hole 103 can be controlled to open to speed up the heat dissipation until the program ends. The safe value range is, for example, 0.05ppm to 0.15ppm.

[0110] The ozone degradation time T2 can be estimated based on the target ozone concentration for sterilization or deodorization in the drum and the leakage ratio. The leakage ratio refers to the ratio of the ozone concentration introduced into the laundry treatment drum to the ozone concentration leaked into the shell. For example, when the target ozone concentration for sterilization in the drum is 10ppm, assuming that the leakage ratio is 1 / 10, the ozone concentration leaked into the shell is about 1ppm, and it takes 5 to 10 minutes for 1ppm to degrade to 0.05ppm or 0.15ppm, so the ozone degradation time T2 can be selected as 5 to 10 minutes.

[0111] In another possible implementation, Figure 4 As shown in the flowchart, an ozone detection device is provided in the housing of the clothing treatment device, and the ozone detection device is used to detect the concentration of ozone leaking from the clothing treatment drum into the housing. The source of ozone can be an ozone generator provided in the housing, or from an external ozone generator. The specific control process is as follows:

[0112] The clothes processing device starts to run, and the clothes processing process currently running in the clothes processing device is determined.

[0113] If the current clothing treatment program is not an ozone sterilization or deodorization program, it means that ozone is not passed throughout the entire process of running the program, and there is no ozone leakage. The heat dissipation holes 103 can be controlled to be always open throughout the entire process to dissipate heat in the best heat dissipation state.

[0114] If the selected program is an ozone sterilization or deodorization program, it means that the program will pass ozone. After starting the program, the ozone concentration value C1 in the shell needs to be detected, and the opening and closing of the heat dissipation hole 103 is controlled according to the ozone concentration value.

[0115] If the ozone detection device does not detect the ozone concentration C1 of the shell, it means that no ozone has leaked into the shell, and the heat dissipation holes 103 can be controlled to open for heat dissipation. If the ozone concentration C1 in the shell is detected, it means that ozone has leaked into the shell, and it is determined whether the ozone concentration value C1 satisfies C1≥set concentration Ci. If C1≥set concentration Ci, it means that the ozone concentration in the shell is close to or higher than the safe value, and the heat dissipation holes 103 need to be controlled to close to prevent ozone from entering the external environment through the heat dissipation holes 103 along with heat. If C1﹤Ci, it means that the ozone concentration in the shell is below the safe value, and the heat dissipation holes 103 can be controlled to open to accelerate heat dissipation; Ci is the set value, which can be selected as 0.05ppm or 0.15ppm.

[0116] Afterwards, it is detected whether the ozone sterilization or deodorization program has been completed. If not, the process returns to step C1 of detecting the ozone concentration value in the shell; if the program has been completed, the process ends.
