Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of clothing processing equipment, and specifically relates to a clothing processing equipment equipped with an outwardly rotatable display screen, and more particularly to a fresh air prompt control method applied to the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] In modern life, washing machines have become an essential household appliance. Some families will further purchase dryers to dry clothes after washing, or they may have multiple washing machines to meet the needs of washing adults' and children's clothes separately.

[0003] Currently, washing machines, dryers, and other laundry appliances have become essential household appliances in many homes. In modern home life, more and more young people are pursuing the integration of home appliances and furniture. As a major household appliance in people's daily lives, the matching of laundry appliances with furniture styles has become a key design topic for most users.

[0004] At the same time, a display screen needs to be provided on the clothing processing device to display information such as the operating parameters of the clothing processing device to the outside; therefore, a display screen generally needs to be installed on the clothing processing device, and in order to better facilitate the user to observe and operate the display screen, the display screen generally needs to be rotated outward so that the display screen forms a 25° tilt angle with the human eye.

[0005] However, existing display screens are generally embedded and fixedly installed on clothing processing equipment, and are unable to realize the function of automatically flipping the rotating display screen outward; therefore, installing a display screen that can be flipped inside and out on the clothing processing equipment has become a technical problem to be solved.

[0006] Furthermore, existing laundry processing devices require a fresh air unit to prevent odors from forming in the drum. This unit replaces the airflow in the drum, allowing fresh air to flow into the drum to prevent bacterial growth and odors. However, when the fresh air unit is operating, the fresh air flow is not obvious, making it difficult for users to detect that the laundry processing device is performing a fresh air exchange process. This results in users not being able to obtain timely information about the laundry processing device and reduces the user's interactive experience with the laundry processing device.

[0007] In view of this, how to combine the flip screen with the fresh air reminder of the clothing treatment equipment to improve the accuracy and timeliness of users' acquisition of fresh air information of the clothing treatment equipment has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0008] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0009] An object of the present invention is to provide a control method for a clothing processing device, so as to directly observe the flip display screen to achieve the purpose of accurately knowing the fresh air program of the clothing processing device; at the same time, another object of the present invention is to provide a control method for a clothing processing device, so as to achieve the purpose of bionic simulation display of the fresh air program on the display screen of the clothing processing device by using the inside-out flipping action.

[0010] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0011] A control method for a clothing processing device, the clothing processing device comprising: a main body, wherein a drum rotatable about an axis is installed in the main body; a fresh air unit for replacing air in the drum is installed on the main body; and a display screen is installed on the main body; when it is detected that the fresh air unit of the clothing processing device is working, the display screen plays a fresh air simulation video.

[0012] Furthermore, the display screen can be flipped outward and mounted on the main body; when it is detected that the fresh air unit of the clothing processing equipment is working, the display screen flips outward to the open position and then plays the fresh air simulation video.

[0013] Furthermore, the air outlet of the fresh air system is located on the lower side of the display screen, and the air outlet is directed toward the upper display screen;

[0014] When it is detected that the fresh air unit of the clothes processing device is operating and air is flowing out of the air outlet, the display screen repeatedly performs the following actions:

[0015] The display screen flips outward to the open position and remains in the open position for a set time t1;

[0016] The display screen flips inward to the closed position and remains in the closed position for a set time t2;

[0017] During the above process, the display screen simultaneously plays the fresh air simulation video.

[0018] Furthermore, when the display screen is in the open position, the display screen simultaneously plays the first fresh air simulation video; when the display screen is in the closed position, the display screen simultaneously plays the second fresh air simulation video.

[0019] Furthermore, after detecting that the fresh air unit of the clothing processing equipment is working, the air flow flowing out of the air outlet is detected in real time; after the air flow detection value reaches the set value, the display screen flips outward to the open position, and the display screen simultaneously plays the first fresh air simulation video; after the air flow detection value is lower than the set value, the display screen flips inward to the closed position, and the display screen simultaneously plays the second fresh air simulation video.

[0020] Furthermore, before the clothing processing device executes the working program, the fresh air unit is controlled to work for a set time T1; and / or, after the clothing processing device executes the working program, the fresh air unit is controlled to work for a set time T3 at each interval set time T2; during the above-mentioned fresh air unit working process, the display screen flips and synchronously plays the corresponding fresh air simulation video.

[0021] Furthermore, the clothing processing device is provided with a host computer, which determines whether the clothing processing device executes the working program and whether the time to end the working program reaches the set duration T1, so as to generate a fresh air unit start signal after any of the above judgments is met; the upper computer transmits the fresh air unit start signal to the lower computer, and the lower computer controls the fresh air unit to start working for the set duration T1, and sends a flip action instruction to the display screen, and the display screen synchronously plays the corresponding fresh air simulation video.

[0022] Furthermore, when the lower computer sends a flip action instruction to the display screen, the control display screen generates a corresponding flip action to remind the user that the fresh air unit of the clothing processing equipment is working; preferably, when the lower computer sends a flip action instruction to the display screen, the lower computer simultaneously sends a play instruction to the loudspeaker provided on the clothing processing equipment and / or the display screen, and the loudspeaker produces a simulated sound of the clothing processing equipment performing the fresh air program.

[0023] Furthermore, the host computer receives the sensor's detection value of the fresh air unit's air flow rate and compares the detection value with a set value; when the detection value is greater than the set value, a first flip action instruction is generated; when the detection value is less than the set value, a second flip action instruction is generated;

[0024] After the lower computer sends a first flip action instruction to the display screen, the lower computer controls the display screen to flip outward to the open position; at the same time, the lower computer calls out the first fresh air simulation video stored in the pre-stored library, and displays and plays it on the display screen; after the lower computer sends a second flip action instruction to the display screen, the lower computer controls the display screen to flip inward to the closed position; at the same time, the lower computer calls out the second fresh air simulation video stored in the pre-stored library, and displays and plays it on the display screen;.

[0025] The present invention also introduces a clothing processing device that applies any of the above-mentioned control methods, which includes: a main body, a main control board installed on the front side of the main body; a drum that can rotate around an axis is installed in the main body; a fresh air unit for replacing the air in the drum is installed on the main body; a display screen that can be flipped outward is installed on the main control board, and the display screen that is not flipped outward is vertically arranged flush with the front side of the main body.

[0026] Furthermore, the fresh air unit includes a fresh air duct arranged in the main body, the air inlet of the fresh air duct is connected to the cylinder, and the air outlet is arranged on the outer wall of the main body and connected to the outside of the main body; a fresh air fan is provided in the fresh air duct, which is used to discharge the air flow in the cylinder to the outside through the fresh air duct.

[0027] The present invention also introduces a clothing processing device that applies any of the above-mentioned control methods, which includes: a main body, a main control board installed on the front side of the main body; a display screen that can be flipped outward is installed on the main control board, and the display screen that is not flipped outward is vertically arranged flush with the front side of the main body.

[0028] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0029] Through the above settings, the display screen is used to synchronously play the fresh air simulation video of the working fresh air unit, thereby achieving the effect of synchronous video simulation playback when the clothing processing equipment runs the fresh air program, achieving a significant technical progress in which users can accurately know the fresh air recovery action of the clothing processing equipment on the air flow in the drum.

[0030] Through the above settings, the display screen that is flipped outward can play the fresh air video synchronously, so that the user can use the flipped outward display screen to obtain the information that the fresh air program action is being executed for the second time, and the flipped outward display screen can better achieve the effect of displaying and playing to the user.

[0031] Through the above settings, the fresh air program of the clothing treatment device can be presented in a secondary bionic manner by utilizing the inward and outward flipping action of the display screen, so that the user can directly know whether the clothing treatment device is executing the fresh air program by observing the flipping action of the display screen, thereby greatly improving the user experience.

[0032] At the same time, the method of the present invention is simple, effective, and suitable for promotion and use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0048] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the following embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "setting" and "connection" 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 direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0050] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are 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 limiting the present invention.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention introduces a control method for a clothing processing device, which includes: a main body 100, a main control board installed on the front side of the main body 100; a drum 400 rotatable around an axis is installed in the main body 100; a fresh air unit 500 for replacing the air in the drum is installed on the main body 100; a display screen 300 that can be flipped outward is installed on the main control board, and the display screen 300 that is not flipped outward is vertically arranged flush with the front side of the main body 100.

[0052] like Figure 14 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the fresh air unit 500 includes a fresh air duct 501 arranged in the main body 100, the air inlet 5011 of the fresh air duct 501 is connected to the cylinder 400, and the air outlet 5012 is arranged on the outer wall of the main body 100 and is connected to the outside of the main body 100; a fresh air fan 502 is provided in the fresh air duct 501, which is used to discharge the airflow in the cylinder 400 to the outside through the fresh air duct 501.

[0053] In this embodiment of the present invention, when the fresh air unit of the laundry treatment device is detected to be operating, the display screen plays a fresh air simulation video. Through the above configuration, the display screen plays the fresh air simulation video synchronously with the operating fresh air unit, achieving the effect of synchronous video simulation playback when the laundry treatment device is running the fresh air program, achieving a significant technical advancement in allowing users to accurately understand the laundry treatment device's fresh air refreshing operation.

[0054] In this embodiment of the present invention, the display screen can be flipped outward and mounted on the main body. When the fresh air unit of the laundry treatment device is detected to be operating, the display screen flips outward to the open position and then plays the fresh air simulation video. Through this arrangement, the flipped-out display screen plays the fresh air video synchronously, allowing the user to obtain information about the fresh air program execution again using the flipped-out display screen, and the flipped-out display screen can better display the video to the user.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet of the fresh air system is located below the display screen, and the air is discharged toward the upper display screen, so that the user can directly feel the air flow when performing touch operations on the display screen, further improving the degree of interaction between the user and the clothing processing device;

[0056] At the same time, when it is detected that the fresh air unit of the clothes processing device is working and the air outlet is flowing outward, the display screen repeatedly performs the following actions:

[0057] The display screen flips outward to the open position and remains in the open position for a set time t1;

[0058] The display screen flips inward to the closed position and remains in the closed position for a set time t2;

[0059] During the above process, the display screen simultaneously plays the fresh air simulation video.

[0060] Therefore, the inward and outward flipping action of the display screen can be used to perform a secondary bionic presentation of the fresh air program of the clothing treatment device, so that the user can directly know whether the clothing treatment device is executing the fresh air program by observing the flipping action of the display screen, thereby greatly improving the user experience.

[0061] In this embodiment of the present invention, when the display screen is in the open position, the display screen simultaneously plays a first fresh air simulation video; when the display screen is in the closed position, the display screen simultaneously plays a second fresh air simulation video. The airflow intensity information presented in the first fresh air simulation video is smaller than the airflow intensity presented in the second fresh air simulation video. The airflow intensity can be presented in any form or combination of numbers, text, animation, etc., thereby greatly improving the user's viewing convenience.

[0062] Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is also possible to switch the display screen flipping action in a manner other than using the time node, for example, by using the fresh air unit to execute different flipping actions when different programs are running. For example:

[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, a flow sensor is provided at the air outlet of the fresh air duct, and the flow sensor can detect the air flow flowing out of the air outlet in real time, thereby obtaining a flow detection value of the air flow; after detecting that the fresh air unit of the clothing processing device is operating, the flow sensor starts to work and detects the air flow flowing out of the air outlet in real time;

[0064] When the outlet airflow detection value reaches the set value, the display screen flips outward to the open position, and the display screen simultaneously plays the first fresh air simulation video;

[0065] When the outlet air flow detection value is lower than the set value, the display screen flips inward to the closed position, and the display screen simultaneously plays the second fresh air simulation video.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present invention, the fresh air unit can execute the fresh air program in the following manner:

[0067] Before the clothes processing equipment executes the working procedure, the fresh air unit is controlled to work for a set time T1;

[0068] and / or, after the clothes processing device executes the working program, the fresh air unit is controlled to work for a set time period T3 at each set time period T2;

[0069] During the operation of the above-mentioned fresh air unit, the display screen performs a flipping action and synchronously plays the corresponding fresh air simulation video.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present invention, a host computer is provided on the clothes processing device, and the host computer determines whether the clothes processing device executes the working program and whether the time for completing the working program reaches the set time length T1, so as to generate a fresh air unit start signal when any of the above determinations is met;

[0071] The upper computer transmits the fresh air unit start signal to the lower computer, and the lower computer controls the fresh air unit to start working for the set duration T1, and sends a flip action instruction to the display screen, and the display screen synchronously plays the corresponding fresh air simulation video.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the lower computer issues a flipping action instruction to the display screen, the display screen is controlled to generate a corresponding flipping action, so as to remind the user that the fresh air unit of the clothes processing device is working;

[0073] Preferably, when the lower computer sends a flip action instruction to the display screen, the lower computer simultaneously sends a play instruction to the clothes processing device and / or the speaker provided on the display screen, and the speaker produces and plays the simulated sound of the clothes processing device performing the fresh air program.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present invention, the host computer receives the detection value of the air flow rate of the fresh air unit by the sensor and compares the detection value with the set value;

[0075] When the detected value is greater than the set value, a first flip action instruction is generated;

[0076] When the detected value is less than the set value, a second flip action instruction is generated;

[0077] After the lower computer sends the first flip action instruction to the display screen, the lower computer controls the display screen to flip outward to the open position; at the same time, the lower computer calls out the first fresh air simulation video pre-stored in the pre-stored library and displays it on the display screen;

[0078] After the lower computer sends a second flip action instruction to the display screen, the lower computer controls the display screen to flip inward to a closed position; at the same time, the lower computer calls out the second fresh air simulation video pre-stored in the pre-stored library and displays it on the display screen;.

[0079] like Figure 13 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the specific working process of the clothing processing device is as follows:

[0080] Step S201. After the laundry processing device starts working and / or ends working for a set time T2,

[0081] Step S202: The host computer compares the end time of the laundry processing device with the preset time T2;

[0082] When the end time exceeds the preset time T1, it is determined that the clothes processing device executes the fresh air program and sends a fresh air unit working signal;

[0083] Step S203. After receiving the fresh air unit working signal from the upper computer, the lower computer controls the fresh air fan of the fresh air unit to start;

[0084] Step S204: Detect the airflow from the fresh air duct outlet. The host computer receives the detected value and determines whether it reaches the set value. If so, a first flip signal is generated and step S205 is executed. If not, a second flip signal is generated and step S206 is executed.

[0085] Step S205. After receiving the first flip signal, the lower computer controls the display screen to flip outward from the closed position to the open position, and calls out the first fresh air simulation video stored in the pre-stored library, and the display screen synchronously plays the first fresh air simulation video;

[0086] Step S205. After receiving the second flip signal, the lower computer controls the display screen to flip inward from the open position to the closed position, and calls out the second fresh air simulation video stored in the pre-stored library, and the display screen synchronously plays the second fresh air simulation video;

[0087] Step S206: The host computer determines whether the execution time of the fresh air program reaches the set time T3;

[0088] If so, a fresh air unit stop signal is issued;

[0089] Step S207. After the lower computer receives the fresh air unit stop signal sent by the upper computer, it controls the fresh air fan of the fresh air unit to stop working; and starts timing again. After the timing time reaches the set time T2, step S203 is executed again; at the same time, during the timing process, the upper computer jumps out of the timing after receiving the instruction from the clothing processing equipment to start working.

[0090] Preferably, when executing steps S204 and S205, the lower computer simultaneously sends a play instruction to the clothing processing device or the speaker provided on the display screen, calls the first fresh air simulation audio corresponding to the first fresh air simulation video, or the second fresh air simulation audio corresponding to the second fresh air simulation video in the pre-stored library, and uses the speaker to broadcast the corresponding fresh air simulation audio to further remind the user that the clothing processing device is executing the corresponding fresh air program.

[0091] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention introduces a main control panel structure for a clothing processing device, comprising: a main control panel 200; a display screen 300, mounted in a recessed mounting slot 201 provided on the main control panel 200; the display screen 300 is connected to the mounting slot 201 via a rotating shaft structure 1. The display screen 300 can rotate about the rotating shaft 11 of the rotating shaft structure 1 to flip outward from the mounting slot 201. The outer wall of the display screen 300, when rotated into the mounting slot 201, is flush with the outer wall of the main control panel 200 and is aligned in the same vertical plane. By installing an outwardly rotatable display screen on the main control panel, the front side wall of the clothing processing device is normally flat and vertical, thereby significantly improving the overall aesthetics and coordination between the clothing processing device and the surrounding home.

[0092] In this embodiment of the present invention, the display screen 300 can be an LCD, LED, or other screen with only a display function. Alternatively, the display screen 300 can be a touchscreen with touch functionality, an integrated screen with integrated mechanical or electronic buttons, or the like. The outer wall of the display screen 300, facing the exterior of the main control panel 200, serves as a display surface 301, which displays the functional parameters of the laundry processing device. The main control panel 200 can also be located elsewhere within the laundry processing device body 100, such as on the top surface of the body 100, in other areas on the front of the body 100, or the like.

[0093] In this embodiment of the present invention, a stop structure 2 is provided on the mounting slot 201 to stop the display screen 300 when it is rotated into the mounting slot 201, maintaining the outer wall of the display screen 300 flush with the outer wall of the main control board 200 in a vertical position. The stop structure 2 provided on the main control board 200 serves to stop and position the display screen 300 as it rotates inward, preventing the display screen 300 from rotating too far inward and ensuring that the display screen 300 remains in a vertical position after being rotated into the mounting slot 201.

[0094] In this embodiment of the present invention, the main control board 200 is vertically mounted and has a mounting slot 201 that is horizontally recessed toward the rear. The display screen 300 includes a display panel 302 that covers the notch of the mounting slot 201. The side of the display panel 302 that faces outward is the display surface 301. The display surface 301 and the front outer wall of the main control board 200 are located in the same vertical plane. The display screen 300 also includes other components, such as a circuit board 303. The circuit board 303 is electrically connected to the display panel 302 and is used to power the display panel and provide display information. Typically, a mounting shell 304 is snapped onto the rear side of the display panel 302 and is fixedly connected to the display panel. The circuit board 303 is mounted within the hollow cavity enclosed by the mounting shell 304 and the display panel 302.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present invention, the top of the display screen 300 is connected to the mounting slot 201 via the hinge structure 1; the stop structure 2 is arranged at the bottom of the slot of the mounting slot 201, and the stop structure 2 has an upwardly protruding stop rib 21; when the display screen 300 is rotated into the mounting slot 201, the rear side of the display screen 300 abuts against or is close to the front side of the stop rib 21, so as to serve as a stop and limit for the rotated display screen 300, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of the display screen 300 being rotated into the mounting slot 201 at a large angle and being unable to remain vertical.

[0096] In this embodiment of the present invention, the height difference between the stop rib 21 and the front outer wall of the main control board 200 is equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the display panel 302. The distance between the protruding end of the stop rib 21 and the axis of the rotating shaft 11 of the rotating shaft structure 1 is less than the vertical width of the display panel 302. Consequently, when the display screen 300 is rotated into the mounting slot 201 and is in a vertical position, the display surface 301 and the front wall of the main control board 200 are aligned in the same vertical plane, thereby ensuring the smoothness and aesthetics of the front side of the clothing processing device.
