Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical equipment, and in particular, relates to a control method for drying equipment and the drying equipment. Background Art

[0002] "Drying equipment" refers to the general term for household appliances with drying function, such as: washer-dryer, dryer, etc.

[0003] When drying clothes, the existing drying equipment needs to pile the clothes into a drying barrel and then dry them. However, this drying method not only has low drying efficiency, but also easily causes serious wrinkles on the clothes after drying.

[0004] In view of this, some drying equipment is provided with a detachable bracket in the drying barrel. The user can install the bracket in the drying barrel, and then hang the clothes on the bracket for drying without controlling the rotation of the barrel during drying; or, the user can directly put the clothes into the drying barrel without installing the bracket, and control the rotation of the drying barrel to comprehensively dry the clothes.

[0005] However, once the user installs the bracket in the drying barrel and selects a drying program in which the drying barrel rotates, there is a risk of the bracket falling or getting stuck during the rotation of the drying barrel, posing a safety hazard; conversely, if the user does not install the bracket in the drying barrel but selects a drying program in which the drying barrel does not rotate, it will result in poor drying effect and uneven drying.

[0006] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention provides a control method for drying equipment and the drying equipment, so as to realize the purpose of accurately controlling the rotation and stopping of a drying barrel according to whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel, avoiding the formation of potential safety hazards, improving the use safety of the drying equipment, and enhancing the drying efficiency and drying uniformity of the drying equipment.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0009] A control method for a drying device, the drying device comprising a drying barrel and a bracket detachably arranged in the drying barrel for hanging clothes, the control method comprising the following steps:

[0010] Receive drying instructions;

[0011] A bracket is provided in the detection drying barrel;

[0012] Perform a drying cycle without the drying drum rotating.

[0013] Furthermore, the drying program includes: a first program in which the drying barrel rotates, and a second program in which the drying barrel does not rotate. The execution of the first and second programs both includes a step of detecting whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel.

[0014] Furthermore, if the selected drying program is not a non-bracket drying program, the first program is executed to first detect whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel. If so, a prompt message for removing the bracket is output, or the second program is switched to be executed.

[0015] Furthermore, the steps after outputting the prompt information for removing the stent include:

[0016] The time for detecting and outputting prompt information reaches the set time;

[0017] A bracket is provided in the detection drying barrel;

[0018] Switch to executing the second program.

[0019] Further, the second program is executed to first detect whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel. If not, a prompt message for installing the bracket is output, or the first program is switched to be executed.

[0020] Furthermore, the steps after outputting the prompt information for installing the bracket include:

[0021] The time for detecting and outputting prompt information reaches the set time;

[0022] Check that there is no bracket in the drying barrel;

[0023] Switch execution to the first program.

[0024] Further, the drying program is executed, firstly detecting whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel, and if so, controlling the output of a prompt message for taking out the bracket, or executing the drying program without rotating the drying barrel;

[0025] Preferably, the steps after outputting the prompt information for removing the stent include:

[0026] The time for detecting and outputting prompt information reaches the set time;

[0027] A bracket is provided in the detection drying barrel;

[0028] Perform a drying cycle without the drying drum rotating.

[0029] Further, detecting whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel includes: detecting whether a signal instruction indicating that a position of the drying barrel for installing the bracket contacts the bracket is received, and if so, the bracket is provided in the drying barrel;

[0030] Preferably, the signal instruction includes: an electrical signal, a pressure signal, a light-sensing signal, and a magnetic-sensing signal.

[0031] The present invention also provides a drying device, which is controlled by any control method described in the above technical solutions.

[0032] The present invention also provides a drying device, comprising:

[0033] A controller, a drying barrel, and a bracket detachably arranged in the drying barrel. A detection component connected to the controller is arranged at a position where the drying barrel contacts the bracket, and is used to detect whether the bracket is arranged in the drying barrel. The controller controls the rotation and stop of the drying barrel according to the detection result of the detection component.

[0034] Preferably, the detection component includes a sensor disposed on the drying barrel;

[0035] Preferably, the sensor is electrically or communicatively connected to the controller, the bracket is arranged in the drying barrel, the sensor sends a detection signal to the controller, and the controller controls the drying barrel not to rotate according to the received detection signal; if the bracket is not arranged in the drying barrel, the sensor does not send a detection signal, and the controller can control the drying barrel to rotate.

[0036] After adopting the above technical scheme, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0037] In the present invention, after receiving a drying instruction, it is first determined whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel, so as to accurately control the rotation and stop states of the drying barrel according to whether the bracket is provided; when a bracket is provided in the drying barrel, if the drying barrel is controlled to rotate, the bracket is prone to falling, getting stuck, breaking, etc. during the rotation of the drying barrel. Therefore, the drying program in which the drying barrel does not rotate is controlled to be executed, thereby ensuring the safety of the drying process of the drying equipment.

[0038] In the present invention, the washing device has two drying programs, namely the first program and the second program. No matter which program is selected for drying, the washing device can accurately adjust the subsequent steps according to the detection result of whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel, so that the washing device can control the rotation and stop of the drying barrel according to the actual installation situation of the bracket in the drying barrel, thereby avoiding the safety hazard caused by the bracket falling off or getting stuck during the rotation of the drying barrel, and avoiding the situation where only part of the clothes are dried.

[0039] In the present invention, it is first detected whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel. If no bracket is provided, the drying barrel can be controlled to rotate during the drying process so as to dry the clothes evenly and comprehensively. If it is detected that a bracket is provided in the drying barrel, a prompt message for taking out the bracket can be controlled to be output, so that after the user takes out the bracket according to the prompt message, the washing device controls the drying barrel to rotate for drying. Alternatively, if it is detected that a bracket is provided, the drying barrel is controlled not to rotate during the drying process so that the clothes are hung to dry.

[0040] The present invention also provides a drying device, which is controlled by the control method of the present invention. The drying device can accurately control the rotation and stop of the drying barrel according to whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel, which can not only ensure that the clothes are fully dried, but also avoid safety hazards.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0050] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0051] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0052] "Drying equipment" refers to a general term for household appliances with drying functions, such as: integrated washing and drying machines, drying machines, etc. The drying equipment includes a drying barrel for accommodating clothes, and a bracket detachably arranged in the drying barrel for hanging clothes.

[0053] There are two main ways to dry clothes with drying equipment. One is to directly put the clothes to be dried in a drying barrel and control the drying barrel to rotate for drying; the other is to set a bracket in the drying barrel, put the clothes on the bracket, and control the drying barrel not to rotate for drying.

[0054] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the control method in the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0055] S1, receiving drying instructions;

[0056] S2. Check that there is a bracket in the drying barrel;

[0057] S3, executing the drying program without the drying drum rotating.

[0058] In the above control method, step S1 and step S2 can be swapped; specifically, after receiving the drying instruction, it starts to detect whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel; in this way, the washing device can control the rotation and stop of the drying barrel during the drying process according to whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel.

[0059] A detection touch terminal can also be separately provided on the drying device. Once a touch signal from the detection touch terminal is received, it starts to detect whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel, and outputs the detection result or sends the detection result to the controller of the drying device; after receiving the drying instruction, the controller directly selects to execute the drying program corresponding to the detection result; or the user can manually select the drying program according to the output detection result.

[0060] In the present invention, after receiving a drying instruction, it is first determined whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel, so as to accurately control the rotation and stop states of the drying barrel according to whether the bracket is provided; when a bracket is provided in the drying barrel, if the drying barrel is controlled to rotate, the bracket is prone to falling, getting stuck, breaking, etc. during the rotation of the drying barrel. Therefore, the drying program in which the drying barrel does not rotate is controlled to be executed, thereby ensuring the safety of the drying process of the drying equipment.

[0061] Or, if Figure 2 As shown, the control method in the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0062] S1, receiving drying instructions;

[0063] S2. Check that there is no bracket in the drying barrel;

[0064] S3, executing the drying program of rotating the drying drum.

[0065] In the above control method, step S1 and step S2 can be exchanged.

[0066] In the present invention, when it is detected that no bracket is provided in the drying barrel, it indicates that the clothes are directly stacked in the drying barrel. At this time, the drying barrel is controlled to rotate so as to turn the clothes over. The turned clothes can be dried evenly, avoiding the situation where only part of the clothes are dried.

[0067] As an embodiment of the present invention, the drying device includes: a first program for controlling the drying barrel to rotate during the drying process, and a second program for controlling the drying barrel not to rotate during the drying process. The drying device can dry the clothes according to the first program or the second program. In this embodiment, the execution of the first program and the second program both includes the step of detecting whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel.

[0068] Specifically, when executing the first program, it is detected whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel. If so, it indicates that the conditions for running the first program are not met. At this time, the first program can be controlled to be paused or switched to the second program; if not, the drying barrel is controlled to rotate and dry. After the first program is controlled to be paused, the washing device can be controlled to directly alarm to warn the user that the current drying program cannot run normally.

[0069] When executing the second program, it is detected whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel. If so, it means that the conditions for running the second program are met, and the drying barrel is controlled not to rotate for drying; if not, it means that the conditions for running the second program are not met. At this time, the second program can be controlled to be paused or switched to the first program. After controlling the second program to be paused, the washing device can be controlled to directly alarm to warn the user that the current drying program cannot run normally.

[0070] In this embodiment, the washing device has two drying programs, namely a first program and a second program. No matter which program is selected for drying, the washing device can accurately adjust the subsequent steps according to the detection result of whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel, so that the washing device can control the rotation and stop of the drying barrel according to the actual installation situation of the bracket in the drying barrel, thereby avoiding safety hazards caused by the bracket falling or getting stuck during the rotation of the drying barrel, and avoiding the situation where only part of the clothes are dried.

[0071] As an implementation method of this embodiment: executing the first program, first detect whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel, if so, output a prompt message to remove the bracket, or switch to execute the second program. Figure 3 As shown, the control steps include:

[0072] S1, receiving drying instructions;

[0073] S2, detecting whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel; if so, executing step S3; otherwise, executing step S4;

[0074] S3, outputting a prompt message for removing the stent;

[0075] S4, directly execute the first program;

[0076] Wherein, step S3 can be replaced by: S3', switching to execute the second program.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first program is executed. If it is detected that a bracket is provided in the drying barrel, it indicates that the rotation drying conditions of the first program are not met. At this time, the control output prompt information for removing the bracket is output to remind the user to remove the bracket and then continue drying according to the first program.

[0078] Alternatively, when executing the first program, if it is detected that a bracket is provided in the drying barrel, it indicates that the non-drying conditions of the second program are currently met. At this time, the control switches to execute the second program to dry the clothes to avoid safety hazards caused by the bracket falling, getting stuck, or deforming when the drying barrel rotates.

[0079] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the steps after outputting the prompt information for removing the stent include:

[0080] The time for detecting and outputting prompt information reaches the set time;

[0081] A bracket is provided in the detection drying barrel;

[0082] Switch to executing the second program.

[0083] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown:

[0084] S1, receiving drying instructions;

[0085] S2, detecting whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel; if so, executing step S3; otherwise, executing step S4;

[0086] S3, outputting a prompt message for removing the stent; and executing step S5;

[0087] S4, directly execute the first program;

[0088] S5, detecting whether the time for outputting the prompt information reaches the set time; wherein the set time can be set manually, such as: 3 minutes, 4 minutes, etc.; if so, executing step S6; otherwise, returning to step S3;

[0089] S6, detecting whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel; if so, executing step S7; otherwise, executing step S4;

[0090] S7: Switch to execute the second program.

[0091] In the present technical solution, when the time for outputting the prompt information reaches the set time, there is still a bracket in the drying barrel, indicating that the user may not have taken out the bracket in time or cannot take it out. At this time, the second program without rotating the drying barrel is directly switched to dry the clothes. This not only ensures the normal drying of the clothes, but also avoids the bracket from falling, getting stuck, deforming, etc. during the rotation of the drying barrel.

[0092] When the time for outputting the prompt information reaches the set time, if there is no bracket in the drying barrel, it means that the user has taken out the bracket, and the control continues to execute the first program of rotating the drying barrel. During the rotation of the drying barrel, the clothes can be evenly turned over and dried evenly.

[0093] As an embodiment of the present invention, the second program is executed to first detect whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel. If not, a prompt message for installing the bracket is output, or the first program is switched to be executed. Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the control steps include:

[0094] S1, receiving drying instructions;

[0095] S2, detecting whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel; if not, executing step S3; if yes, executing step S4;

[0096] S3, outputting prompt information for installing the bracket;

[0097] S4, directly execute the second program;

[0098] Among them, step S3 can be replaced by: S3', switching to execute the first program.

[0099] In this embodiment, the second program is executed. If it is detected that the drying barrel is not equipped with a bracket, it indicates that the non-drying conditions of the second program are not met. At this time, the control output prompt information for installing the bracket is output so that after the user installs the bracket, the drying can continue according to the second program.

[0100] Alternatively, when executing the second program, if it is detected that the drying barrel is not provided with a bracket, it indicates that the rotation drying conditions of the first program are currently met. At this time, the control switches to execute the first program of rotating the drying barrel to dry the clothes, avoiding the situation where only part of the clothes are dried.

[0101] As an implementation manner of this embodiment, the steps after outputting the prompt information for installing the bracket include:

[0102] The time for detecting and outputting prompt information reaches the set time;

[0103] Check that there is no bracket in the drying barrel;

[0104] Switch execution to the first program.

[0105] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown:

[0106] S1, receiving drying instructions;

[0107] S2, detecting whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel; if not, executing step S3; if yes, executing step S4;

[0108] S3, outputting prompt information for installing the bracket; and executing step S5;

[0109] S4, directly execute the second program;

[0110] S5, detecting whether the time for outputting the prompt information reaches the set time; wherein the set time can be set manually, such as: 3 minutes, 4 minutes, etc.; if so, executing step S6; otherwise, returning to step S3;

[0111] S6, detecting whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel; if not, executing step S7; if yes, executing step S4;

[0112] S7. Switch to execute the first program.

[0113] In this embodiment, when the time for outputting the prompt information reaches the set time, there is still no bracket in the drying barrel, indicating that the user may not have installed the bracket in time or cannot install it. At this time, the first program of rotating the drying barrel is directly switched to achieve uniform drying of the clothes.

[0114] When the time for outputting the prompt information reaches the set time, if there is a bracket in the drying barrel, it indicates that the user has installed the bracket at this time, and the control continues to execute the second program without rotating the drying barrel to avoid the bracket from falling, getting stuck, deforming, etc. during the rotation of the drying barrel.

[0115] As another embodiment of the present invention, when executing a drying program, it is first detected whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel. If so, a prompt message for removing the bracket is output, or a drying program without rotating the drying barrel is executed; if no bracket is provided in the drying barrel, a drying program with rotating the drying barrel is executed.

[0116] In this embodiment, it is first detected whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel. If no bracket is provided, the drying barrel can be controlled to rotate during the drying process so as to dry the clothes evenly and comprehensively. If it is detected that a bracket is provided in the drying barrel, a prompt message for taking out the bracket can be controlled to be output so that after the user takes out the bracket according to the prompt message, the washing device can control the drying barrel to rotate and dry. Alternatively, if it is detected that a bracket is provided, the drying barrel is controlled not to rotate during the drying process so that the clothes are hung to dry.

[0117] As an implementation of this embodiment, the steps after outputting the prompt information for removing the stent include:

[0118] The time for detecting and outputting prompt information reaches the set time;

[0119] A bracket is provided in the detection drying barrel;

[0120] Perform a drying cycle without the drying drum rotating.

[0121] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the control steps include:

[0122] S1, receiving drying instructions;

[0123] S2. Check that there is a bracket in the drying barrel;

[0124] S3, controlling the output of a prompt message for removing the bracket;

[0125] S4, detecting whether the time for outputting the prompt information reaches the set time; if so, executing step S5, otherwise, returning to step S3;

[0126] S5, detecting whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel; if so, executing step S6, otherwise, returning to step S7;

[0127] S6, executing the drying program without the drying drum rotating;

[0128] S7, executing the drying program of rotating the drying drum.

[0129] In this embodiment, when the time for outputting the prompt information reaches the set time, there is still a bracket in the drying barrel, indicating that the user may not have taken out the bracket in time or cannot take it out. At this time, the program of not rotating the drying barrel is executed. On the one hand, this avoids the bracket from falling, getting stuck, deforming, etc. during the rotation of the drying barrel, and on the other hand, it can still continue to dry the clothes.

[0130] When the time for outputting the prompt information reaches the set time, if there is no bracket in the drying barrel, it means that the user has taken out the bracket, and the control continues to execute the program of rotating the drying barrel to achieve uniform drying of the clothes.

[0131] In this embodiment, during the process of controlling the output of the prompt information for taking out the rack, it is also possible to detect in real time whether there is a rack in the drying barrel. Once it is detected that there is no rack, the output of the prompt information for taking out the rack is stopped immediately. There is no need to stop outputting the prompt information until the set time has expired, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the drying equipment.

[0132] As an embodiment of the present invention, detecting whether a bracket is provided in the drying barrel includes: detecting whether a signal instruction is received that a position of the drying barrel for installing the bracket contacts the bracket, if so, the drying barrel is provided with a bracket; otherwise, the drying barrel is not provided with a bracket. The signal instruction includes: an electrical signal, a pressure signal, a light sensing signal, and a magnetic sensing signal.

[0133] Specifically, as an implementation method of this embodiment, a pressure sensor is provided at the position where the drying barrel contacts the bracket, and a pressure value N0 corresponding to the pressure sensor is preset when the bracket is supported in the drying barrel. The pressure value N of the pressure sensor is obtained, and the obtained pressure value N is compared with the preset pressure value N0. If N≥N0, it is determined that the bracket is arranged in the drying barrel; if N<N0, it is determined that the bracket is not arranged in the drying barrel.

[0134] In this method, only the pressure value of the pressure sensor can be used to accurately determine whether the bracket is set in the drying barrel. The judgment method is simple and easy to operate. The pressure sensor can also be replaced by other sensors with similar functions, such as contact sensors.

[0135] As another implementation of this embodiment, an inductive IC chip card reader is provided at the position where the drying barrel contacts the bracket; and an inductive IC chip card is provided at the end of the bracket.

[0136] When the end of the bracket is set on the drying barrel, the inductive IC chip card reader sends a set of electromagnetic waves of fixed frequency to the inductive IC chip card. There is an LC series resonant circuit in the card, and its frequency is the same as the frequency emitted by the reader. Under the excitation of the electromagnetic wave, the LC resonant circuit resonates, so that there is an electric charge in the capacitor. At the other end of this capacitor, there is a unidirectional conductive electronic pump, which sends the charge in the capacitor to another capacitor for storage. When the accumulated charge reaches 2V, this capacitor can be used as a power supply to provide working voltage for other circuits and transmit the data in the card. Once the data in the card is transmitted, it is determined that the bracket is set in the drying barrel.

[0137] In this method, an inductive IC chip card reader is arranged on the drying barrel and an inductive IC chip card is arranged on the bracket, so as to accurately detect whether the bracket is arranged in the drying barrel, avoid interference from clothes in the drying barrel, and the detection result is accurate and reliable.

[0138] As an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention also provides a drying device, which is controlled by any control method described in the above technical solutions.

[0139] The drying device of the present invention can accurately control the rotation and stop of the drying barrel according to whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel, which can ensure that the clothes are fully dried and avoid safety hazards.

[0140] As an implementation mode of this embodiment, the drying equipment includes: a controller, a drying barrel, and a bracket detachably arranged in the drying barrel. A detection component connected to the controller is provided at the contact position between the drying barrel and the bracket for detecting whether there is a bracket in the drying barrel. The controller controls the rotation and stop of the drying barrel according to the detection result of the detection component.

[0141] Among them, the detection component includes a sensor arranged on the drying barrel; the sensor is electrically connected or communicatively connected to the controller, the bracket is arranged in the drying barrel, the sensor sends a detection signal to the controller, and the controller controls the drying barrel not to rotate according to the received detection signal; the bracket is not arranged in the drying barrel, the sensor does not send a detection signal, and the controller can control the drying barrel to rotate.

[0142] Sensors include: pressure sensors, contact sensors, optical sensors, electromagnetic sensors, etc.; for example: the pressure sensor is set at the position of the drying barrel for installing the bracket, and when the bracket is set on the drying barrel, the pressure sensor will send out a pressure signal; for another example: the optical sensor is set at the position of the drying barrel for installing the bracket, and after the optical sensor sends out light, it determines whether the bracket is installed on the drying barrel according to the time of receiving the reflected light.

[0143] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make some changes or modify the technical contents suggested above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
