Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular provides a clothing processing device and a control method for the clothing care device. Background Art

[0002] When existing clothing care machines treat clothes, they generally use a steam generator to convert pure water into high-temperature steam, and then use the high-temperature steam to wet and soften the clothes, so that the clothes have a certain moisture content and softness. The clothing fibers stretch out after absorbing water, and then the clothes hanger rod swings horizontally, thereby driving the clothes to swing, simulating the method of shaking clothes when hanging clothes to dry. Under the dual effects of high-temperature softening and horizontal swing, the fibers in the folds of the clothes will stretch, thereby achieving the effect of wrinkle removal. The clothes are then dried with high-temperature hot dry air. The high temperature will also kill a small amount of biological bacteria, which has a disinfecting and sterilization effect.

[0003] However, if the clothing care machine is shut down for a long time, the purified water will deteriorate, easily breeding bacteria inside the machine and producing odors, affecting the user experience. Furthermore, draining the purified water from the machine after each garment care is not only complicated but also wastes water resources. Therefore, how to prevent bacteria from growing inside the machine when the machine is shut down for a long time has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0004] In view of this, the art needs a new clothes processing device to solve the existing problems. Summary of the Invention

For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0030] First, the existing clothes care machine will be described.

[0031] When existing clothes care machines process clothes, they generally first use a steam generator to convert pure water into high-temperature steam, and then use the high-temperature steam to wet and soften the clothes, so that the clothes have a certain water content and softness. After the clothes fibers absorb water and stretch out, then make the hanger rod swing horizontally, thereby driving the clothes to swing, simulating the method of shaking and swinging clothes when drying clothes. Under the dual action of high-temperature softening and horizontal swinging, the fibers at the folds of the clothes will stretch, thus achieving the effect of removing wrinkles. Then, cooperate with high-temperature hot dry air to dry the clothes, and the high temperature will also kill a small amount of biological bacteria, having a disinfection and sterilization effect. However, if the clothes care machine stops for a long time, this pure water will deteriorate, easily breed bacteria and produce odors inside the clothes care machine, affecting the user experience. And if the pure water in the clothes care machine is drained after each clothes care, not only is the operation complex, but also water resources are wasted. To solve the above problems, the following embodiments are proposed.

[0032] Embodiment 1:

[0033] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, to solve the problem that the residual water inside the existing clothes care machine 1 is prone to breed bacteria when it stops for a long time, the clothes care machine 1 of the present invention includes a cabinet 11 and a steam generating device 12 arranged inside the cabinet 11. The steam generating device 12 is connected with two exhaust pipes, namely a first exhaust pipe 13 and a second exhaust pipe 14. Among them, the first exhaust pipe 13 leads to the inside of the cabinet 11, and the second exhaust pipe 14 leads to the outside of the cabinet 11, so that the steam generated by the steam generating device 12 can be discharged into the inside and outside of the cabinet 11 through the first exhaust pipe 13 and the second exhaust pipe 14 respectively.

[0034] In the case of adopting the above embodiment, when the user uses the clothes care machine 1 of the present invention, when the user needs to care for the clothes, start the steam generating device 12, and the steam generated by the steam generating device 12 can enter the inside of the cabinet 11 through the first exhaust pipe 13 to care for the clothes inside the cabinet 11. When the user does not use the clothes care equipment for a long time, the steam generating device 12 can be started to discharge the residual water inside the clothes treatment equipment to the outside of the cabinet 11 through the second exhaust pipe 14 in the form of steam, thereby avoiding the problem of residual water appearing inside the clothes treatment equipment and breeding bacteria after a long time, and solving the existing problem.

[0035] Embodiment 2:

[0036] Although the solution proposed in the foregoing first embodiment solves the problems in the background art, since the first exhaust pipe 13 and the second exhaust pipe 14 are simultaneously connected to the steam generating device 12, when the user needs to care for the clothes, after the steam generating device 12 is started, the generated steam will not only enter the interior of the cabinet 11 through the first exhaust pipe 13, but also be discharged to the outside of the cabinet 11 through the second exhaust pipe 14. In this way, the care efficiency of the clothes care machine 1 for the clothes is reduced, and the power consumption of the clothes care machine 1 is increased. To solve this problem, the present embodiment is proposed, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, in the present embodiment, the clothes care machine 1 further includes a control module, and the control module is used to control the on-off of the first exhaust pipe 13 and the second exhaust pipe 14 so that the steam generated by the steam generating device 12 can be discharged from the first exhaust pipe 13 and / or the second exhaust pipe 14. Specifically, the clothes care machine 1 further includes a gas-liquid separator 15. The first exhaust pipe 13 and the second exhaust pipe 14 are communicated with the gas-liquid separator 15. An intake pipe 16 is connected between the gas-liquid separator 15 and the steam generating device 12. The control module is a baffle 151. The baffle 151 is arranged in an arc shape, and the arc-shaped baffle 151 can fit on the inner side wall of the gas-liquid separator 15. The control module further includes a driving device (not shown in the figure), and the driving device is drivingly connected to the baffle 151 so that the baffle 151 can move along the inner side wall of the gas-liquid separator 15 to the intake ports of the first exhaust pipe 13 and the second exhaust pipe 14.

[0037] In the case of adopting the above embodiment, during the use of the clothes care machine 1 of the present invention, when the user needs to care for the clothes, the baffle 151 can be moved to the intake port of the second exhaust pipe 14 through the driving device to seal the second exhaust pipe 14, and then the steam generating device 12 is started. The steam generated by the steam generating device 12 can all enter the interior of the cabinet 11 through the first exhaust pipe 13 to care for the clothes inside the cabinet 11. When the user does not use the clothes care equipment for a long time, the baffle 151 can be moved to the intake port of the first exhaust pipe 13 through the driving device to seal the first exhaust pipe 13, and then the steam generating device 12 is started. The steam generating device 12 discharges all the residual water inside the clothes treatment equipment to the outside of the cabinet 11 through the second exhaust pipe 14 in the form of steam, thereby avoiding the problem of residual water breeding bacteria inside the clothes treatment equipment after a long time, and at the same time improving the care efficiency of the clothes care machine 1 for the clothes.

[0038] In addition, it is worth mentioning that although the control module mentioned above is the baffle 151, this is only an exemplary illustration. The control module in the present invention can also be other common devices that can control opening and closing, such as solenoid valves, etc. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate adjustments to the selection of the control module according to actual needs, as long as it can achieve the on-off control of the first exhaust pipe 13 and the second exhaust pipe 14. These changes do not exceed the technical principle of the present invention, so they will also be within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] Embodiment III

[0040] During the use of the clothing care machine 1, when the steam generated by the steam generating device 12 flows along the first exhaust pipe 13 and the second exhaust pipe 14, since the volume of the steam is very small, the specific surface area of the steam is very large, so that the heat will be quickly dissipated during the flow of the steam. The rapid heat dissipation of the steam will liquefy and condense into a liquid state, thus reducing the care effect on the clothing. In order to avoid this problem, this embodiment is proposed. As Figures 1 - 3 shown, in this embodiment, a heating module 17 is provided outside the first exhaust pipe 13 and the second exhaust pipe 14.

[0041] In the case of adopting the above embodiment, during the working process of the clothing care machine 1 of the present invention, when the high-temperature steam flows out of the steam generating device 12 and along the first exhaust pipe 13 or the second exhaust pipe 14, since the heating module 17 is provided outside the first exhaust pipe 13 and the second exhaust pipe 14, the heating module 17 can reheat the steam in the pipe, thereby ensuring the temperature of the steam and the duration of maintaining the steam state, so that more steam can be provided for the care of the clothing. At the same time, since the temperature of the steam is relatively high, the care effect on the clothing can also be improved, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0042] Embodiment IV

[0043] According to the experience in the actual use process, when the high-temperature steam leaves the exhaust pipe, it is easy to form bubbles at the outlet of the exhaust pipe, which will not only affect the care effect of the clothing, but also when the steam is discharged to the indoor outside the cabinet 11, the continuously generated bubbles will also make noises, bringing a bad experience to the user. In view of this, this embodiment is proposed. As Figures 1 - 3 shown, in this embodiment, spike protrusions 18 are provided inside the first exhaust pipe 13 and the second exhaust pipe 14.

[0044] In the case of adopting the above-mentioned embodiment, during the use of the clothes care machine 1 of the present invention, whether it is in the clothes care stage or during the process of humidifying the air, the high-temperature steam in the exhaust pipe will be punctured by the spike protrusion 18 at the outlet when flowing to the outlet of the exhaust pipe, so that bubbles cannot be formed at the outlet of the exhaust pipe, solving the above problems and improving the user experience. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that those skilled in the art can arrange the spike protrusions 18 in any form on this basis, and these changes do not exceed the technical principle of the present invention, so they will also be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art can also arrange the spike protrusions 18 according to a certain rule, so as to be able to guide the steam in the exhaust pipe and further improve the care effect on the clothes.

[0045] Embodiment Five

[0046] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, in a possible embodiment, a return water pipe 19 is further connected between the gas-liquid separator 15 and the steam generating device 12, so that the condensed water in the gas-liquid separator 15 can flow back to the steam generating device 12 through the return water pipe 19, and a partition 192 is also provided at the steam outlet of the steam inlet pipe 16 and the water return port 191 of the return water pipe 19.

[0047] In the case of adopting the above-mentioned embodiment, when the steam in the steam generating device 12 enters the gas-liquid separator 15 along the steam inlet pipe 16, the steam sprays out from the steam outlet of the steam inlet pipe 16, and the chamber formed inside the gas-liquid separator 15 after the steam sprays out tumbles upward, and then is discharged from the first exhaust pipe 13 or the second exhaust pipe 14. During this process, a small amount of steam may be liquefied in the gas-liquid separator 15 to form a small amount of condensed water, and the condensed water flows downward to the water return port 191 of the return water pipe 19 and is recycled back to the steam generating device 12 through the return water pipe 19. Additionally, since a partition 192 is provided at the steam outlet of the steam inlet pipe 16 and the water return port 191 of the return water pipe 19, the steam sprayed out from the steam outlet of the steam inlet pipe 16 will not directly enter the return water pipe 19 from the water return port 191, thus avoiding the problem that the direct return of steam affects the care effect.

[0048] Embodiment Six

[0049] The present invention also provides a control method for a clothing care machine. The clothing treatment device includes a cabinet body and a steam generating device. The steam generating device is arranged inside the cabinet body. The steam generating device is connected with a first exhaust pipe and a second exhaust pipe. The first exhaust pipe leads to the inside of the cabinet body, and the second exhaust pipe leads to the outside of the cabinet body. The clothing treatment device further includes a gas-liquid separator. The first exhaust pipe and the second exhaust pipe are communicated with the gas-liquid separator. An inlet pipe is connected between the gas-liquid separator and the steam generating device. The control module is a baffle plate, which is movably arranged inside the gas-liquid separator. Heating modules are arranged on the first exhaust pipe and the second exhaust pipe. As Figure 4 shown, the control method includes:

[0050] S1. Obtain the instruction issued by the user;

[0051] S2. Judge the type of the instruction issued by the user;

[0052] S3. Based on the type of the instruction issued by the user, control the baffle plate to seal the steam inlet of the first exhaust pipe and / or the second exhaust pipe.

[0053] In the above steps, step S3 further includes:

[0054] S31. If the user issues a clothing care instruction, control the baffle plate to move to the steam inlet of the second exhaust pipe and seal the steam inlet of the second exhaust pipe;

[0055] S32. If the user issues an air humidification instruction, control the baffle plate to move to the steam inlet of the first exhaust pipe and seal the steam inlet of the first exhaust pipe.

[0056] In the case of adopting the above implementation manner, first obtain the instruction issued by the user, then judge the type of the instruction issued by the user. If the user issues a clothing care instruction, control the movable baffle plate to move to the steam inlet of the second exhaust pipe and seal the steam inlet of the second exhaust pipe, so that all the steam enters the inside of the cabinet body through the first exhaust pipe to care for the user. If the user issues an air humidification instruction, control the movable baffle plate to move to the steam inlet of the first exhaust pipe and seal the steam inlet of the first exhaust pipe, so that all the steam is discharged from the second exhaust pipe out of the cabinet body and into the room to humidify the air in the room. The purpose of reasonably utilizing the residual water in the clothing care machine is achieved, avoiding the breeding of bacteria in the clothing care machine and also avoiding the waste of water resources.

[0060] S2. Determine the type of the instruction issued by the user;

[0061] S4. Based on the type of the instruction issued by the user, control the heating module to heat the first exhaust pipe and / or the second exhaust pipe.

[0062] In the case of adopting the above implementation manner, first obtain the instruction issued by the user, then determine the type of the instruction issued by the user. If the user issues a clothing care instruction, control the heating module to heat the first exhaust pipe to increase the steam temperature, thereby improving the clothing care effect. If the user issues an air humidification instruction, control the heating module to heat the second exhaust pipe to reduce the condensation and liquefaction of the steam in the second exhaust pipe, ensure the steam output volume, and thus ensure the air humidification effect in the room.

[0063] It should be noted that the above implementation manner is only used to illustrate the principle of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
