Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of equipment control, and more specifically, to a control method for a fabric processing device and the fabric processing device itself. Background Technology
[0002] Current fabric treatment equipment typically uses one of three methods to wash fabrics: ordinary water washing, steam washing, or microbubble washing. However, each method can only handle a limited variety of stains, leading to a decline in washing quality. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This application provides a control method and fabric processing equipment for fabric processing, so as to at least solve the technical problem of poor processing quality.
[0004] According to a first aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for controlling a fabric processing apparatus is provided, the method comprising:
[0005] During the washing process, bubbles and steam are used to treat the fabric in a coordinated manner. The washing process includes multiple treatment stages, including a stain dissolving stage, a deep cleaning stage, and a rinsing and residue removal stage. Each treatment stage has a corresponding bubble-to-steam ratio, which refers to the ratio of bubble flow rate to steam flow rate per unit time.
[0006] The method of treating fabrics using a combination of bubbles and steam includes:
[0007] During the stain dissolving stage, the proportion of air bubbles is controlled to be greater than the proportion of steam to treat the fabric;
[0008] In the deep cleaning stage, the proportion of air bubbles is reduced compared to the proportion of air bubbles in the stain dissolving stage, and the proportion of steam is increased compared to the proportion of steam in the stain dissolving stage, in order to treat the fabric.
[0009] During the rinsing and residue removal stage, the proportion of bubbles is increased based on the proportion of bubbles in the deep cleaning stage, and the proportion of steam is decreased based on the proportion of steam in the deep cleaning stage, with the proportion of bubbles in the rinsing and residue removal stage being greater than the proportion of steam.
[0010] By employing the above method, the synergistic treatment of fabrics using bubbles and steam during washing improves the washing effect. Furthermore, each treatment stage has a corresponding bubble-to-steam ratio, making it easy to match the processing requirements or conditions of that stage, further enhancing the washing effect and thus improving the overall quality of the fabric processing equipment. Additionally, the varying bubble and steam ratios across different treatment stages ensure that the bubble-to-steam ratio is easily tailored to the specific requirements or conditions, further improving the washing effect and overall quality of the fabric processing equipment.
[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the method of treating the fabric using bubbles and steam in synergy includes:
[0012] The bubble-steam ratio is periodically adjusted based on the difference between the actual parameters and the set parameters during the processing stage.
[0013] Using the above method, the bubble-steam ratio will be adjusted periodically, making it easier to meet the processing requirements or conditions of the corresponding processing stage, further improving the washing effect of the fabric, and thus improving the processing quality of the fabric processing equipment.
[0014] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of this application embodiment, the step of periodically adjusting the bubble-steam ratio based on the difference between the actual parameters and the set parameters during the processing stage includes:
[0015] The temperature and humidity inside the fabric treatment tank are obtained, as well as the actual steam flow rate, bubble ratio adjustment value, and flow limit. The bubble ratio adjustment value is used to adjust the actual output bubble flow rate proportionally, and the flow limit is the maximum value of the sum of the steam flow rate and the bubble flow rate.
[0016] The temperature difference is determined based on the difference between the set temperature and the stated temperature; the humidity difference is determined based on the difference between the set humidity and the stated humidity.
[0017] The target steam flow rate is calculated using the actual steam flow rate, the temperature difference, and the humidity difference.
[0018] The target bubble flow rate is calculated using the bubble ratio adjustment value, the upper limit of flow rate, and the target steam flow rate.
[0019] Bubbles and steam are output according to the target bubble flow rate and target steam flow rate to adjust the bubble-steam ratio.
[0020] Using the above method helps to improve the accuracy of the bubble-steam ratio adjustment, thereby improving the processing quality of fabrics by the fabric processing equipment.
[0021] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of this application embodiment, when the temperature inside the fabric processing equipment is lower than a preset low temperature limit, the bubble ratio adjustment value adopts a preset first parameter value.
[0022] When the temperature inside the fabric processing equipment is higher than the low temperature limit but lower than the preset bubble stability limit, the bubble ratio adjustment value decreases as the temperature inside the fabric processing equipment increases, and the maximum value is less than the first parameter value.
[0023] When the temperature inside the fabric processing equipment is higher than the bubble stability limit, the bubble ratio adjustment value adopts a preset second parameter value, which is less than the first parameter value.
[0024] Using the above method, the bubble ratio adjustment value will also be different according to the actual situation inside the fabric processing equipment, which helps to further improve the adjustment accuracy of the bubble ratio.
[0025] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of this application embodiment, when the temperature inside the fabric processing equipment is higher than a low temperature limit but lower than a preset bubble stability limit, the method further includes determining the bubble ratio adjustment value in the following manner:
[0026] When the temperature inside the fabric processing equipment is higher than the low temperature limit but lower than the preset bubble stability limit, the difference between the temperature inside the fabric processing barrel and the low temperature limit is calculated to obtain the first difference.
[0027] Calculate the difference between the bubble stability limit and the low temperature limit to obtain a second difference;
[0028] Calculate the ratio of the first difference to the second difference, and obtain the bubble ratio adjustment value based on the ratio.
[0029] Using the above method, the calculation process of the bubble ratio adjustment value is simple, which helps to save computing resources and reduce resource consumption. At the same time, the bubble ratio adjustment value is obtained through calculation, which helps to improve the fit between the bubble ratio adjustment value and the actual situation of the fabric processing equipment.
[0030] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of this application embodiment, the method further includes obtaining the traffic limit using the following method:
[0031] The preset flow rate adjustment coefficient, actual water volume in the tank, bubble chamber pressure, and maximum safe pressure of the bubble chamber are obtained, wherein the bubble chamber pressure is the pressure inside the chamber where bubbles are generated;
[0032] Calculate the ratio of the pressure in the bubble chamber to the maximum safe pressure in the bubble chamber, and obtain an intermediate value based on the ratio;
[0033] The upper limit of the flow rate is obtained by multiplying the flow rate adjustment coefficient, the actual water volume in the tank, and the intermediate value.
[0034] Using the above method, the traffic limit can be calculated, which helps to improve the accuracy of traffic limits.
[0035] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the method of treating the fabric using bubbles and steam in synergy includes:
[0036] The bubble ratio and / or steam ratio are adjusted based on at least one of the temperature, humidity, and bubble chamber pressure of the processing stage.
[0037] By adopting the above method, the proportion of bubbles and / or steam in the processing stage is adjusted to make the proportion of bubbles and / or steam more suitable, which is conducive to improving the processing quality of fabrics by the fabric processing equipment.
[0038] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the step of adjusting the bubble ratio and / or steam ratio based on at least one of the temperature requirement, humidity requirement, and bubble chamber pressure of the processing stage includes:
[0039] When the temperature inside the fabric treatment tank is lower than the first preset temperature threshold, the proportion of steam is increased; when the temperature inside the fabric treatment tank is higher than the second preset temperature threshold, the proportion of bubbles is reduced.
[0040] And / or, when the humidity inside the fabric processing equipment is higher than the first preset humidity threshold, reduce the steam ratio, and when the humidity inside the fabric processing equipment is lower than the second preset temperature threshold, increase the steam ratio.
[0041] And / or, when the pressure in the bubble chamber is higher than the maximum safe pressure in the bubble chamber, reduce the bubble ratio and increase the steam ratio;
[0042] Among them, the priority of correcting the bubble ratio and / or steam ratio according to temperature is greater than the priority of correcting the bubble ratio and / or steam ratio according to humidity, and the priority of correcting the bubble ratio and / or steam ratio according to humidity is greater than the priority of correcting the bubble ratio and / or steam ratio according to bubble chamber pressure.
[0043] Using the above method helps to improve the accuracy of the correction for bubble ratio and / or steam ratio.
[0044] In conjunction with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of this application embodiment, the bubble ratio is determined by the following formula:
[0045] Bubble percentage = bubble flow rate / (bubble flow rate + steam flow rate);
[0046] The steam ratio is determined by the following formula:
[0047] Steam percentage = Steam flow rate / (bubble flow rate + steam flow rate);
[0048] Wherein, the bubble flow rate refers to the bubble volume flow rate or bubble mass flow rate, and the steam flow rate refers to the steam volume flow rate or steam mass flow rate.

[0052] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a control method for a fabric processing device provided in an embodiment of this application;
[0053] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the control method provided in the embodiments of this application in a specific application. Detailed Implementation
[0054] 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.
[0055] 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.
[0056] 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.
[0057] Existing washing machine cleaning technologies are mainly divided into three categories: ordinary water washing, steam washing, and microbubble washing. Ordinary water washing relies on mechanical agitation and detergent action to remove stains, but its effectiveness in cleaning stubborn stains (such as grease) is limited. Steam washing technology softens stains through high-temperature steam and improves the detergent's solubility, but it suffers from significant heat loss, uneven steam distribution, and damage to certain fabric materials (such as wool and silk). Microbubble washing utilizes the penetrating power and bursting effect of tiny bubbles to increase the detergent's effective range, but its effectiveness in removing stubborn stains (such as oil stains) is limited.
[0058] Currently, steam washing machines and microbubble washing machines on the market operate independently without a synergistic optimization mechanism, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the needs of efficient cleaning and energy conservation. Therefore, this invention proposes a high-efficiency cleaning system that combines bubble generation with the action of water vapor. By intelligently controlling bubble concentration and water vapor temperature, it achieves superior stain removal while reducing energy consumption and improving washing quality.
[0059] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a control method for a fabric processing device, which solves at least one of the following problems:
[0060] 1. Steam diffusion and energy efficiency optimization issues: Existing steam washing technology is prone to excessive local concentration of steam or excessively fast steam condensation rate, which affects cleaning efficiency, while the energy consumption during the heating process is high.
[0061] 2. Limited cleaning range of microbubbles: Microbubble washing mainly cleans clothes by enhancing surface activity, but its cleaning ability is limited for stubborn stains such as oil stains that are easier to remove at high temperatures.
[0062] 3. High difficulty in controlling the synergistic effect of bubbles and steam: Bubbles are prone to instability at high temperatures, while steam is prone to condensation. Therefore, how to reasonably adjust the ratio of the two to achieve the best cleaning effect in different washing stages is a problem that has not yet been solved by existing technologies.
[0063] It has at least the following effects:
[0064] Combining bubble generation technology with steam cleaning technology, this system leverages the rapid expansion and collapse of bubbles to enhance the cleaning power of steam. By generating micron- or nano-sized bubbles, it strengthens the contact force between water molecules and stains, resulting in a strong physical removal of dirt in a short time. This, combined with high-temperature steam, further dissolves and removes oil and chemical residues. Furthermore, it increases efficiency while reducing water usage. With low water consumption, the combination of bubbles and steam maximizes the cleaning power of every drop of water, reducing the amount of water needed during the washing process.
[0065] It has at least one of the following characteristics:
[0066] 1. Bubble-steam synergistic cleaning mechanism: It adopts dynamic ratio adjustment and controls the bubble-steam ratio based on temperature and humidity feedback to optimize stain dissolution and clothing fiber protection; compared with traditional steam washing, this system can achieve more efficient stain penetration and removal in a low water volume environment.
[0067] 2. Steam-humidity balance based on feedback control: Combining humidity and flow sensors, the humidity of the drum is detected in real time, and the steam release is dynamically adjusted to ensure that the clothes are not too wet or too dry, thereby improving the washing effect and reducing water consumption; through a humidity closed-loop control algorithm, the steam flow is precisely adjusted to achieve the best washing environment.
[0068] 3. High-efficiency microbubble deep cleaning: It adopts a bubble generator to promote detergent adsorption at low temperature (30-50℃) and enhance stain removal ability at high temperature (50-70℃); the bubble generation rate is controlled by pressure feedback to prevent the bubbles from breaking too quickly under high temperature environment and maintain the cleaning effect.
[0069] 4. Water-saving microbubble rinsing reduces detergent residue: During the rinsing stage (30-40℃), steam release is reduced (only 5-10%), and detergent is removed through high-concentration microbubbles, improving rinsing efficiency and reducing water consumption; combined with drum rotation to optimize bubble penetration, it can more thoroughly remove residue from clothing fibers and avoid water stains that may be caused by traditional steam rinsing.
[0070] Next, the control method of the fabric treatment equipment provided in this application will be further described, referring to... Figure 1 The diagram shows a control method for the fabric processing equipment, which includes the following processing steps.
[0071] During the washing process, air bubbles and steam are used in combination to treat the fabric.
[0072] The washing process includes multiple processing stages, including a stain dissolving stage, a deep cleaning stage, and a rinsing and residue removal stage. Each processing stage has a corresponding bubble-to-steam ratio, where the bubble-to-steam ratio refers to the ratio of bubble flow rate to steam flow rate per unit time.
[0073] In one embodiment, the bubble ratio is determined by the following formula:
[0074] Bubble percentage = bubble flow rate / (bubble flow rate + steam flow rate);
[0075] The steam ratio is determined by the following formula:
[0076] Steam percentage = Steam flow rate / (bubble flow rate + steam flow rate);
[0077] Wherein, the bubble flow rate refers to the bubble volume flow rate or bubble mass flow rate, and the steam flow rate refers to the steam volume flow rate or steam mass flow rate.
[0078] Multiple processing stages can be distinguished by time or by the purpose of fabric treatment. For example, the first half of the entire washing process can be considered as one processing stage, and the second half as another. Alternatively, the process of dissolving stains can be considered as one stage, the process of deep cleaning the fabric as another, and the process of rinsing and removing residue as yet another. It should be noted that the operating parameters or states of the fabric treatment equipment (e.g., whether the treatment drum is rotating and its rotation speed) differ depending on the purpose of the treatment. Therefore, the current processing stage can be determined by examining the operating parameters or state of the fabric treatment equipment.
[0079] Specifically, the method of using bubbles and steam to treat the fabric includes:
[0080] S100. During the stain dissolving stage, control the proportion of bubbles to be greater than the proportion of steam to treat the fabric.
[0081] S102. In the deep cleaning stage, the proportion of air bubbles is reduced compared to the proportion of air bubbles in the stain dissolving stage, and the proportion of steam is increased compared to the proportion of steam in the stain dissolving stage, in order to treat the fabric.
[0082] S104. In the rinsing and residue removal stage, the proportion of bubbles is increased based on the proportion of bubbles in the deep cleaning stage, and the proportion of steam is decreased based on the proportion of steam in the deep cleaning stage, and the proportion of bubbles in the rinsing and residue removal stage is greater than the proportion of steam.
[0083] Since the total bubble-to-steam ratio is 1, in one embodiment, if the bubble ratio decreases, the steam ratio can remain unchanged or increase; conversely, if the steam ratio decreases, the bubble ratio can remain unchanged or increase.
[0084] Since the steam treatment stage needs to reduce the proportion of bubbles, a base value for the proportion of bubbles is required. This base value can be preset or it can be the proportion of bubbles at the end of the bubble treatment stage.
[0085] By employing the above method, the synergistic treatment of fabrics using bubbles and steam during washing improves the washing effect. Simultaneously, each treatment stage has a corresponding bubble-to-steam ratio, making it easy to match the processing requirements or conditions of that stage, further enhancing the washing effect and thus improving the processing quality of the fabric treatment equipment. The different bubble and steam ratios in different treatment stages ensure that the bubble-to-steam ratio easily meets the processing requirements or conditions of that stage, further improving the washing effect and thus enhancing the processing quality of the fabric treatment equipment.
[0086] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the treatment of the fabric using bubbles and steam in synergy includes:
[0087] The bubble-steam ratio is periodically adjusted based on the difference between the actual parameters and the set parameters during the processing stage.
[0088] The bubble-steam ratio can be adjusted periodically by setting a preset adjustment frequency or adjustment period. This embodiment does not specify the adjustment period.
[0089] Using the above method, the bubble-steam ratio will be adjusted periodically, making it easier to meet the processing requirements or conditions of the corresponding processing stage, further improving the washing effect of the fabric, and thus improving the processing quality of the fabric processing equipment.
[0090] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the step of periodically adjusting the bubble-steam ratio based on the difference between the actual parameters and the set parameters during the processing stage includes:
[0091] The temperature and humidity inside the fabric treatment tank are obtained, as well as the actual steam flow rate, bubble ratio adjustment value, and flow limit. The bubble ratio adjustment value is used to adjust the actual output bubble flow rate proportionally, and the flow limit is the maximum value of the sum of the steam flow rate and the bubble flow rate.
[0092] The temperature difference is determined based on the difference between the set temperature and the stated temperature; the humidity difference is determined based on the difference between the set humidity and the stated humidity.
[0093] The target steam flow rate is calculated using the actual steam flow rate, the temperature difference, and the humidity difference.
[0094] The target bubble flow rate is calculated using the bubble ratio adjustment value, the upper limit of flow rate, and the target steam flow rate.
[0095] Bubbles and steam are output according to the target bubble flow rate and target steam flow rate to adjust the bubble-steam ratio.
[0096] Temperature and humidity can be acquired using temperature and humidity sensors, and flow rate can be acquired using a flow sensor. The bubble ratio adjustment value and flow rate upper limit can be calculated or preset; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on these. After obtaining the above data, the target steam flow rate can be calculated first, and then the target bubble flow rate can be calculated based on the target steam flow rate. Finally, the actual output flow rates of bubbles and steam are adjusted to adjust the bubble-steam ratio.
[0097] Using the above method helps to improve the accuracy of the bubble-steam ratio adjustment, thereby improving the processing quality of fabrics by the fabric processing equipment.
[0098] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, when the temperature inside the fabric processing equipment is lower than a preset low temperature limit, the bubble ratio adjustment value adopts a preset first parameter value.
[0099] When the temperature inside the fabric processing equipment is higher than the low temperature limit but lower than the preset bubble stability limit, the bubble ratio adjustment value decreases as the temperature inside the fabric processing equipment increases, and the maximum value is less than the first parameter value.
[0100] When the temperature inside the fabric processing equipment is higher than the bubble stability limit, the bubble ratio adjustment value adopts a preset second parameter value, which is less than the first parameter value.
[0101] Using the above method, the bubble ratio adjustment value will also be different according to the actual situation inside the fabric processing equipment, which helps to further improve the adjustment accuracy of the bubble ratio.
[0102] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, when the temperature inside the fabric processing equipment is higher than the low temperature limit but lower than the preset bubble stability limit, the method further includes determining the bubble ratio adjustment value in the following manner:
[0103] When the temperature inside the fabric processing equipment is higher than the low temperature limit but lower than the preset bubble stability limit, the difference between the temperature inside the fabric processing barrel and the low temperature limit is calculated to obtain the first difference.
[0104] Calculate the difference between the bubble stability limit and the low temperature limit to obtain a second difference;
[0105] Calculate the ratio of the first difference to the second difference, and obtain the bubble ratio adjustment value based on the ratio of the first difference to the second difference.
[0106] Specifically, the bubble ratio adjustment value is obtained by using the ratio of 1 - the first difference to the second difference.
[0107] Using the above method, the calculation process of the bubble ratio adjustment value is simple, which helps to save computing resources and reduce resource consumption. At the same time, the bubble ratio adjustment value is obtained through calculation, which helps to improve the fit between the bubble ratio adjustment value and the actual situation of the fabric processing equipment.
[0108] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the method further includes obtaining the traffic limit using the following method:
[0109] The preset flow rate adjustment coefficient, actual water volume in the tank, bubble chamber pressure, and maximum safe pressure of the bubble chamber are obtained, wherein the bubble chamber pressure is the pressure inside the chamber where bubbles are generated;
[0110] Calculate the ratio of the bubble chamber pressure to the maximum safe pressure of the bubble chamber, and obtain an intermediate value based on the ratio of the bubble chamber pressure to the maximum safe pressure of the bubble chamber;
[0111] The upper limit of the flow rate is obtained by multiplying the flow rate adjustment coefficient, the actual water volume in the tank, and the intermediate value.
[0112] Specifically, the intermediate value is obtained by using the ratio of 1 - bubble chamber pressure to the maximum safe pressure of the bubble chamber.
[0113] Using the above method, the traffic limit can be calculated, which helps to improve the accuracy of traffic limits.
[0114] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, the treatment of the fabric using bubbles and steam in synergy includes:
[0115] The bubble ratio and / or steam ratio are adjusted based on at least one of the temperature, humidity, and bubble chamber pressure of the processing stage.
[0116] By adopting the above method, the proportion of bubbles and / or steam in the processing stage is adjusted to make the proportion of bubbles and / or steam more suitable, which is conducive to improving the processing quality of fabrics by the fabric processing equipment.
[0117] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, adjusting the bubble ratio and / or steam ratio based on at least one of the temperature requirement, humidity requirement, and bubble chamber pressure during the processing stage includes:
[0118] When the temperature inside the fabric treatment tank is lower than the first preset temperature threshold, the proportion of steam is increased; when the temperature inside the fabric treatment tank is higher than the second preset temperature threshold, the proportion of bubbles is reduced.
[0119] And / or, when the humidity inside the fabric processing equipment is higher than the first preset humidity threshold, reduce the steam ratio, and when the humidity inside the fabric processing equipment is lower than the second preset temperature threshold, increase the steam ratio.
[0120] And / or, when the pressure in the bubble chamber is higher than the maximum safe pressure in the bubble chamber, reduce the bubble ratio and increase the steam ratio;
[0121] Among them, the priority of correcting the bubble ratio and / or steam ratio according to temperature is greater than the priority of correcting the bubble ratio and / or steam ratio according to humidity, and the priority of correcting the bubble ratio and / or steam ratio according to humidity is greater than the priority of correcting the bubble ratio and / or steam ratio according to bubble chamber pressure.
[0122] Using the above method helps to improve the accuracy of the correction for bubble ratio and / or steam ratio.
[0123] A second aspect of this application provides a fabric processing apparatus that applies the control method described above.

In other words, the order of steps described in the foregoing embodiments is merely an example. Reasonable adjustments to the order of steps based on the content of the embodiments of this application are also within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
