Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and in particular to a control method, apparatus, medium, and equipment for clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing processing equipment, such as dryers or washing machines with drying functions, can heat wet clothes after washing to remove moisture and dry the clothes.

[0003] In related technologies, garment processing equipment such as heat pump washer-dryers are often favored by users due to their advantages such as energy saving, fast drying time, low drying temperature, and good drying effect. However, when the ambient temperature is relatively low, the heating rate inside the heat pump washer-dryer is slow. To address this, existing heat pump washer-dryers usually add structures with auxiliary heating functions to quickly improve the drying speed. However, the control method of the auxiliary heating function in existing heat pump washer-dryers is not reasonable enough. This not only results in a slow drying speed, making it difficult to meet the user's drying needs, but also fails to maintain the original thermal balance inside the machine, reducing the safety performance of the heat pump washer-dryer.

Obviously, for those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a garment processing device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure;

[0038] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another garment processing device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Detailed Implementation

[0039] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0040] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0041] The technical solution provided in this disclosure is applicable to a garment processing device having a accommodating cavity and a drying assembly. The drying assembly has an air duct communicating with the accommodating cavity for circulating air. The drying assembly includes an auxiliary heating structure and a compressor. In practical applications, the drying assembly typically also includes an auxiliary cooling structure, an evaporator, a condenser, etc., to exchange heat with the circulating air based on these structures, and to dry the garments based on the circulating air flowing into the accommodating cavity during the heat exchange process. Exemplarily, the garment processing device can be a heat pump dryer, a heat pump washer-dryer combo, or other heat pump drying equipment, and is not limited thereto.

[0042] The control method for the garment processing equipment provided in this embodiment adaptively controls the on / off state of the auxiliary heating structure by combining the detected temperature. For example, when the detected temperature meets a first preset condition, the auxiliary heating structure is controlled to turn on; or, when the detected temperature meets a second preset condition, the auxiliary heating structure is controlled to turn off. This achieves flexible control of the auxiliary heating function, thereby improving the drying speed to meet the user's drying needs and ensuring the safety performance of the garment processing equipment.

[0043] In some embodiments, the detected temperature may specifically be the refrigerant detection temperature. When the refrigerant detection temperature meets a first preset condition, such as when the refrigerant detection temperature is less than or equal to a first refrigerant temperature threshold, the auxiliary heating structure is controlled to turn on; or, when the refrigerant detection temperature meets a second preset condition, such as when the refrigerant detection temperature is greater than or equal to a second refrigerant temperature threshold, the auxiliary heating structure is controlled to turn off, wherein the first refrigerant temperature threshold is less than the second refrigerant temperature threshold. This achieves adaptive control of the auxiliary heating structure's on / off state based on the refrigerant detection temperature. For example, the refrigerant detection temperature may include the compressor's inlet temperature and / or outlet temperature.

[0044] In some embodiments, before controlling the auxiliary heating structure to turn on or off, the currently running drying program can be obtained first, and based on the type of drying program, the first refrigerant temperature threshold and the second refrigerant temperature threshold can be further determined. This makes it easier to determine the relationship between the first refrigerant temperature threshold and the second refrigerant temperature threshold and the refrigerant detection temperature, thereby determining whether the refrigerant detection temperature meets the first preset condition or whether it meets the second preset condition.

[0045] In some embodiments, the detected temperature may specifically be the circulating air temperature, and when the circulating air temperature meets a first preset condition, such as the circulating air temperature being less than or equal to a first circulating air temperature threshold, the auxiliary heating structure is controlled to turn on; or, when the circulating air temperature meets a second preset condition, such as the circulating air temperature being greater than or equal to a second circulating air temperature threshold, the auxiliary heating structure is controlled to turn off, wherein the second circulating air temperature threshold is greater than the first circulating air temperature threshold.

[0046] In this way, adaptive control of the auxiliary heating structure's on / off state is achieved by combining the circulating air temperature. For example, the circulating air temperature can be the inlet temperature and / or outlet temperature of the accommodating cavity; in addition, the circulating air temperature threshold for the outlet temperature is lower than the circulating air temperature threshold for the inlet temperature.

[0047] In some embodiments, the number of detected temperatures is at least two, and the auxiliary heating structure can be controlled to shut down when at least one detected temperature meets a second preset condition.

[0048] The control method, apparatus, medium, and equipment of the garment processing equipment provided in this disclosure will be described by way of example below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The garment processing device to which this control method is applied includes at least a receiving cavity for accommodating garments and a drying assembly with an air duct. The air duct communicates with the receiving cavity, and the drying assembly includes an auxiliary heating structure. This control method can be executed by a control device, such as the controller of the garment processing device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The control method may include the following steps:

[0050] S110. Obtain the detected temperature during the drying process.

[0051] The detected temperature refers to the temperature of the refrigerant or circulating air detected at a corresponding location inside the garment processing equipment during the drying process. For example, the detected temperature may be the temperature of the circulating air just before it passes through the receiving cavity or the temperature of the circulating air leaving the receiving cavity. It may also be a relevant temperature detected at other locations within the drying assembly. The relevant detected temperature can be obtained according to the control requirements of the auxiliary heating structure in this embodiment of the present disclosure, and is not limited thereto.

[0052] Specifically, by acquiring the detected temperature during the drying process, it is easier to determine whether the detected temperature meets the corresponding preset conditions, so as to flexibly control the working state of the auxiliary heating structure based on the determination result.

[0053] S120. Based on the detection temperature meeting the first preset condition, control the auxiliary heating structure to turn on; or, based on the detection temperature meeting the second preset condition, control the auxiliary heating structure to turn off.

[0054] The first preset condition is a judgment condition used to determine whether to control the activation of the auxiliary heating structure.

[0055] Specifically, if the detected temperature meets the first preset condition while the auxiliary heating structure is off, it indicates that the current drying temperature may be too low, and the auxiliary heating structure is turned on to increase the drying temperature. Conversely, if the detected temperature does not meet the first preset condition, it indicates that the current drying temperature may be more suitable, and the auxiliary heating structure is not turned on. That is, the auxiliary heating structure remains off. The specific details of the first preset condition will be explained by example later.

[0056] The second preset condition is a judgment condition used to determine whether to control the auxiliary heating structure to be turned off.

[0057] Specifically, if the detected temperature meets the second preset condition while the auxiliary heating structure is on, it indicates that the current drying temperature may be too high, and the auxiliary heating structure is controlled to be turned off to reduce the drying temperature; conversely, if the detected temperature does not meet the second preset condition, it indicates that the current drying temperature may be more suitable, and the auxiliary heating structure is not controlled to be turned off, that is, the auxiliary heating structure remains on. The specific content of the second preset condition will be explained by example later.

[0058] It should be noted that existing technical solutions typically involve only one operation to turn on the auxiliary heating function and one operation to turn off the auxiliary heating function. For example, existing clothing processing equipment will turn on the auxiliary heating function at fixed times, or turn off the auxiliary heating function after the temperature in a certain place reaches a fixed temperature and will not turn it on again, thus making it impossible to flexibly control the auxiliary heating function.

[0059] Compared to the existing technical solutions mentioned above, the technical solution provided in this disclosure can combine temperature detection to repeatedly turn the auxiliary heating structure on and off, so as to adaptively control the working state of the auxiliary heating structure according to the changes in the detected temperature. This not only improves the flexibility of operating the auxiliary heating structure, but also better maintains the original thermal balance inside the machine, avoiding safety problems caused by excessively high or low internal temperatures, and ensuring the safety performance of the clothing processing equipment. Thus, rational control of the auxiliary heating function is achieved.

[0060] The control method for a garment processing device provided in this disclosure includes: acquiring a detected temperature during the drying process; controlling an auxiliary heating structure to turn on based on the detected temperature meeting a first preset condition; or controlling the auxiliary heating structure to turn off based on the detected temperature meeting a second preset condition. Thus, by adaptively controlling the on / off state of the auxiliary heating structure in conjunction with the detected temperature, flexible control of the auxiliary heating function is achieved, thereby improving drying speed to meet user drying needs and ensuring the safety performance of the garment processing device.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a garment processing device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, with reference to... Figure 2 The garment processing equipment includes a receiving cavity 21 and a drying assembly 22 with an air duct 221, and the drying assembly 22 includes an evaporator 222, a compressor 223, a condenser 224 and an auxiliary heating structure 225.

[0062] For example, Figure 2 The direction of the thick dashed arrows indicates the refrigerant circulation loop for the evaporator 222, compressor 223, and condenser 224, while the direction of the thin dashed arrows indicates the circulation path of the circulating air. For example, starting from the accommodating cavity 21, the circulating air passes through the accommodating cavity 21, evaporator 222, condenser 224, and auxiliary heating structure 225 in the direction of the circulating air circulation path, and then passes through the accommodating cavity 21 again to circulate.

[0063] The compressor 223 is connected between the evaporator 222 and the condenser 224. The auxiliary heating structure 225 can be set between the condenser 224 and the accommodating cavity 21 to heat the circulating air that is to pass through the accommodating cavity 21, thereby increasing the temperature of the circulating air and thus improving the drying efficiency.

[0064] It should be noted that the garment processing equipment may also include a housing. Based on this, the spatial relative positions of the compressor 223, evaporator 222, and condenser 224 are illustrated as follows: the compressor 223 may be located at the bottom of the housing, and both the evaporator 222 and the condenser 224 may be located at the top of the housing, with the evaporator 222 and the condenser 224 respectively connected to the compressor 223.

[0065] Specifically, the temperature of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation loop is related to the temperature of the circulating air. For example, when the auxiliary heating structure 225 is turned on, it can heat the circulating air that is about to pass through the accommodating cavity 21 to increase the temperature of the circulating air. Then, as the temperature of the circulating air rises, the temperature of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation loop will also rise, and vice versa. Thus, the working state of the auxiliary heating structure can be adaptively controlled by combining the detected temperature at the corresponding location to meet the user's drying needs. The relevant control process of the auxiliary heating structure will be explained in detail below through various embodiments.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figure 1 Based on this, the detection temperature in S110 includes at least the refrigerant detection temperature; the first preset condition in S120 includes: the refrigerant detection temperature is less than or equal to a first refrigerant temperature threshold; the second preset condition in S120 includes: the refrigerant detection temperature is greater than or equal to a second refrigerant temperature threshold.

[0067] The refrigerant detection temperature (or refrigerant temperature) is the detection temperature of the refrigerant at a preset location. For example, combined with... Figure 2 In the refrigerant circulation loop, the refrigerant detection temperature can be the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 223, the temperature of the refrigerant sucked into the compressor 223, or the temperature of the refrigerant at other preset locations, and is not limited here.

[0068] Continue to combine Figure 2 A sensor with temperature detection function can be installed at a preset position in the refrigerant circulation loop. For example, the sensor with temperature detection function may include a temperature sensor or a temperature and humidity sensor, such as a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, to collect the refrigerant detection temperature at the corresponding position and transmit it to the control device so that the control device can obtain the refrigerant detection temperature. The number and specific installation position of the sensor can be set according to the temperature detection requirements of the embodiments of this disclosure. In other embodiments, other methods can be used to collect the refrigerant detection temperature, which will not be elaborated or limited here.

[0069] The first refrigerant temperature threshold is lower than the second refrigerant temperature threshold.

[0070] Specifically, when the refrigerant detection temperature is less than or equal to the first refrigerant temperature threshold, that is, when the refrigerant detection temperature meets the first preset condition, it indicates that the refrigerant temperature is low when passing through a certain position, and the auxiliary heating structure is turned on; or, when the refrigerant detection temperature is greater than or equal to the second refrigerant temperature threshold, that is, when the refrigerant detection temperature meets the second preset condition, it indicates that the refrigerant temperature is high when passing through that position, and the auxiliary heating structure is turned off, so that the refrigerant can be at a more suitable temperature, and thus the drying temperature can be within a more suitable temperature range, which is conducive to achieving rapid drying of clothes and meeting the user's energy-saving needs.

[0071] In light of the correlation between refrigerant temperature and circulating air temperature mentioned above, it should be noted that when the refrigerant temperature is too high or too low, it often triggers the temperature protection mechanism of related structures in the refrigerant circulation loop. For example, this may cause the related structures to be unable to continue operating in their original working state. In this regard, the embodiments of this disclosure enable or disable the auxiliary heating structure when the refrigerant detection temperature meets the corresponding preset conditions, so that the circulating air temperature is not too high or too low, thereby making the refrigerant detection temperature more suitable and avoiding the adverse effects of related structures being unable to continue operating in their original working state.

[0072] For example, the first refrigerant temperature threshold can be 50°C, and the second refrigerant temperature threshold can be 70°C. Taking this as an example, when the refrigerant passes through a certain position and the refrigerant detection temperature is less than or equal to 50°C, the auxiliary heating structure is controlled to turn on; conversely, when the refrigerant passes through that position and the refrigerant detection temperature is greater than or equal to 70°C, the auxiliary heating structure is controlled to turn off. In other embodiments, the first refrigerant temperature threshold and the second refrigerant temperature threshold can also be set according to the control requirements of the auxiliary heating structure in the embodiments of this disclosure, which is not limited here.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on this, the refrigerant detection temperature specifically includes the compressor's inlet temperature and / or outlet temperature.

[0074] Wherein, the inlet temperature is the temperature of the refrigerant drawn into the compressor, and the outlet temperature is the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor. For example, the refrigerant detection temperature may be only the compressor inlet temperature, or only the compressor outlet temperature, or may include both the compressor inlet and outlet temperatures, which is not limited here.

[0075] Specifically, the preferred option is to use the refrigerant detection temperature as the compressor's output temperature. In this case, a sensor, such as a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, is installed between the compressor and the condenser. When the output temperature is less than or equal to the first refrigerant temperature threshold, the auxiliary heating structure is turned on; when the output temperature is greater than or equal to the second refrigerant temperature threshold, the auxiliary heating structure is turned off.

[0076] It should be noted that, considering the correlation between refrigerant temperature and circulating air temperature mentioned above, if the auxiliary heating structure remains on, the refrigerant temperature in the refrigerant circulation loop will also rise as the circulating air temperature increases. When the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor is too high, it is easy to trigger the compressor's high-temperature protection mechanism, such as reducing the compressor's operating frequency or even stopping operation. Conversely, if the auxiliary heating structure is off, the refrigerant temperature in the refrigerant circulation loop will also decrease due to the drop in circulating air temperature. When the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor is too low, it is easy to trigger the compressor's low-temperature protection mechanism, such as reducing the compressor's operating frequency.

[0077] Therefore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the second refrigerant temperature threshold is less than the refrigerant temperature corresponding to when the compressor triggers the high-temperature protection mechanism. Specifically, if the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor is high, but does not reach the refrigerant temperature corresponding to when the compressor triggers the high-temperature protection mechanism, the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor can be reduced in time by controlling the auxiliary heating structure to close. When the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor is low, the auxiliary heating structure is then turned on. This operation is repeated to avoid the adverse effects of the compressor's high-temperature protection mechanism or low-temperature protection mechanism, and to ensure that the compressor can continue to operate normally at the original frequency (or simply full frequency).

[0078] In other embodiments, the refrigerant detection temperature can be the compressor's injection temperature as an alternative. In this case, the sensor, such as a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, is installed between the evaporator and the compressor. Its specific working principle can be understood by referring to the corresponding content above, and will not be repeated here.

[0079] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on this, the control method for the garment processing equipment also includes the following steps:

[0080] Step 1: Obtain the currently running drying program.

[0081] For example, the drying program may include a fast drying program, a slow drying program, a standard drying program, a silent drying program, an energy-saving drying program, a wool drying program, etc. In other embodiments, it may also be other types of drying programs known to those skilled in the art, which are not limited here.

[0082] Specifically, by obtaining the currently running drying program, it is easier to further determine the corresponding first refrigerant temperature threshold and second refrigerant temperature threshold based on the type of drying program, thereby improving the data accuracy when obtaining the first refrigerant temperature threshold and the second refrigerant temperature threshold.

[0083] Step 2: Based on the drying process, determine the first refrigerant temperature threshold and the second refrigerant temperature threshold.

[0084] For example, Table 1 is a lookup table for a first refrigerant temperature threshold and a second refrigerant temperature threshold provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0085] As shown in Table 1 below, Table 1 shows the first refrigerant temperature threshold and the second refrigerant temperature threshold corresponding to different drying programs.

[0086] Table 1

[0087] Drying program First refrigerant temperature threshold Second refrigerant temperature threshold Quick Dry Program 75℃ 98℃ Standard drying procedure 65℃ 75℃ Silent drying program 45℃ 55℃ Energy-saving drying program 45℃ 55℃ Wool drying program 50℃ 75℃

[0088] The first column, "Fast Drying Program, Standard Drying Program, Silent Drying Program, Energy-Saving Drying Program, Wool Drying Program," represents different types of drying programs. The temperature values ​​in the second column represent the first refrigerant temperature threshold, and the temperature values ​​in the third column represent the second refrigerant temperature threshold.

[0089] Specifically, by substituting the currently running drying program into Table 1, the corresponding first and second refrigerant temperature thresholds can be determined based on the substituted drying program. Thus, this embodiment of the present disclosure, while ensuring the compressor continues to operate normally at its original frequency, can also set corresponding first and second refrigerant temperature thresholds according to different drying programs, and further control the adaptive opening or closing of the auxiliary heating structure to ensure the drying temperature remains within a suitable range. This facilitates rapid drying of clothes and meets the user's energy-saving needs. For example, to meet the user's fast drying needs, the auxiliary heating structure can be activated more frequently; or, to meet the user's energy-saving needs, the auxiliary heating structure can be activated less frequently, or even not at all.

[0090] It should be noted that the embodiments of this disclosure can also adaptively control the auxiliary heating structure according to other factors such as system factors. The system factors refer to the overall system factors of the clothing processing equipment. When the system factors, such as system parameters, are different, the set first refrigerant temperature threshold and second refrigerant temperature threshold will also be different. The system parameters can be selected according to the control requirements of the auxiliary heating structure of the embodiments of this disclosure, which will not be elaborated or limited here.

[0091] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on this, the temperature detection in S110 also includes the circulating air temperature; the first preset condition in S120 also includes: the circulating air temperature is less than or equal to the first circulating air temperature threshold; the second preset condition in S120 also includes: the circulating air temperature is greater than or equal to the second circulating air temperature threshold.

[0092] The circulating air temperature is the detected temperature of the circulating air at a preset location. For example, combined with... Figure 2In the direction of the circulating air circulation path, a filter and a water-cooling structure (not shown in the figure) are usually provided between the evaporator and the housing, and the water-cooling structure is located between the filter and the evaporator. A fan (not shown in the figure) is usually provided between the auxiliary heating structure and the housing. Based on this, the preset position can be between the filter and the housing, between the fan and the housing, or other positions, which are not limited here.

[0093] Continue to combine Figure 2 In the circulation path direction of the circulating air, a sensor with temperature detection function, such as a temperature sensor or a temperature and humidity sensor, specifically a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, can be installed at a preset position to collect the circulating air temperature at the corresponding position and transmit it to the control device so that the control device can obtain the circulating air temperature. The number of sensors and their specific installation positions can be set according to the temperature detection requirements of this embodiment. In other embodiments, other methods can also be used to collect the circulating air temperature, which will not be elaborated or limited here.

[0094] The second circulating air temperature threshold is greater than the first circulating air temperature threshold. Specifically, when the circulating air temperature is less than or equal to the first circulating air temperature threshold, that is, when the circulating air temperature meets the first preset condition, it indicates that the circulating air temperature is low when passing through a certain position, and the auxiliary heating structure is turned on; or, when the circulating air temperature is greater than or equal to the second circulating air temperature threshold, that is, when the circulating air temperature meets the second preset condition, it indicates that the circulating air temperature is high when passing through a certain position, and the auxiliary heating structure is turned off, so that the circulating air can be at a more suitable temperature. This ensures that the drying temperature is within a more suitable temperature range, thereby facilitating rapid drying of clothes and meeting the user's energy-saving needs.

[0095] For example, the first circulating air temperature threshold can be 40°C, and the second circulating air temperature threshold can be 50°C. Taking this as an example, when the circulating air passes through a certain position and the circulating air temperature is less than or equal to 40°C, the auxiliary heating structure is controlled to turn on; conversely, when the circulating air passes through that position and the circulating air temperature is greater than or equal to 50°C, the auxiliary heating structure is controlled to turn off. In other embodiments, the first circulating air temperature threshold and the second circulating air temperature threshold can also be set according to the control requirements of the auxiliary heating structure in the embodiments of this disclosure, which is not limited here.

[0096] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on this, the circulating air temperature specifically includes the inlet temperature and / or outlet temperature of the container cavity.

[0097] The inlet temperature of the container cavity is the temperature of the circulating air heated by the auxiliary heating structure just before it passes through the container cavity; the outlet temperature of the container cavity is the temperature of the circulating air leaving the container cavity, such as the drum, which is also the temperature of the circulating air leaving the container cavity. For example, the circulating air temperature may be only the inlet temperature of the container cavity, or only the outlet temperature of the container cavity, or it may include both the inlet and outlet temperatures of the container cavity; this is not limited here.

[0098] The circulating air temperature threshold for the outlet temperature is lower than the circulating air temperature threshold for the inlet temperature. It is understood that the circulating air temperature threshold refers to the first and second circulating air temperature thresholds mentioned above. For example, taking the first circulating air temperature threshold as an example, the first circulating air temperature threshold corresponding to the temperature of the circulating air leaving the containment cavity can be 40°C, and the first circulating air temperature threshold corresponding to the temperature of the circulating air just before passing through the containment cavity can be 60°C; similarly, taking the second circulating air temperature threshold as an example, the second circulating air temperature threshold corresponding to the temperature of the circulating air leaving the containment cavity can be 50°C, and the second circulating air temperature threshold corresponding to the temperature of the circulating air just before passing through the containment cavity can be 80°C. The first and second circulating air temperature thresholds associated with the corresponding positions can be set according to the control requirements of the auxiliary heating structure in this embodiment of the present disclosure, and are not limited here.

[0099] In addition, during the drying process, the temperature of the circulating air just before it passes through the receiving chamber is usually greater than the temperature of the circulating air leaving the receiving chamber, and the rate of temperature rise of the circulating air just before it passes through the receiving chamber is faster than the rate of temperature rise of the circulating air leaving the receiving chamber.

[0100] Among them, the circulating air temperature, including the inlet temperature and outlet temperature of the container cavity, is the preferred option. In this case, the sensor, such as the negative temperature coefficient thermistor, is installed between the filter and the container cavity, and between the fan and the container cavity, and is set close to the container cavity.

[0101] For example, regarding the temperature of the circulating air just before it passes through the receiving cavity, it is known that the higher the temperature of the circulating air just before it passes through the receiving cavity, the faster the drying speed. However, it is necessary to ensure the safety performance of the garment processing equipment. For example, the temperature of the circulating air just before it passes through the receiving cavity cannot exceed the tolerance temperature of the material used to prepare the receiving cavity, or the surface temperature of the whole machine and contact parts (such as door glass and air duct). Therefore, when the temperature of the circulating air just before it passes through the receiving cavity is less than or equal to the corresponding first refrigerant temperature threshold, such as 70°C, the auxiliary heating structure can be turned on. When the temperature of the circulating air just before it passes through the receiving cavity is greater than or equal to the corresponding second refrigerant temperature threshold, such as 88°C, the auxiliary heating structure can be turned off. In this way, the drying speed of the garments can be increased as quickly as possible while ensuring the safety performance of the garment processing equipment.

[0102] For example, regarding the temperature of the circulating air leaving the containment chamber, it is known that the temperature of the circulating air leaving the containment chamber is approximately equal to the temperature of the clothing surface. Even after passing through the filter handle, the temperature of the circulating air discharged from the containment chamber remains relatively high, which could easily lead to burns when the user subsequently handles the clothing. Therefore, when the temperature of the circulating air leaving the containment chamber is less than or equal to the corresponding first refrigerant temperature threshold, such as 48°C, the auxiliary heating structure can be turned on; when the temperature of the circulating air leaving the containment chamber is greater than or equal to the corresponding second refrigerant temperature threshold, such as 58°C, the auxiliary heating structure can be turned off. This ensures both the drying effect of the clothing and the safety of the user, preventing damage to the clothing and burns to the user due to excessively high temperatures of the circulating air leaving the containment chamber.

[0103] In conjunction with the corresponding embodiments described above, it should be noted that this disclosure uses controlling the operating state of the auxiliary heating structure based on refrigerant temperature detection as the primary solution, and controlling it based on circulating air temperature as a secondary solution. This dual-loop control of the auxiliary heating structure's operating state, based on both the primary and secondary solutions, achieves precise control and improves the safety performance of the garment processing equipment. Furthermore, it is easy to understand that the secondary solution primarily provides auxiliary safety protection for the garment processing equipment to compensate for the shortcomings of the primary solution in terms of safety protection; this can be understood from the relevant content above and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0104] Therefore, by executing the main solution and the secondary solution together, the present embodiment can improve the drying speed of clothes as quickly as possible while ensuring the safety performance of the clothes processing equipment.

[0105] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on this, the number of temperature detectors in S110 is at least two; and the auxiliary heating structure is shut down in S120, specifically including the following steps:

[0106] If at least one of the detected temperatures meets the second preset condition, the auxiliary heating structure is shut down.

[0107] In cases where there is a control conflict regarding the operating status of the auxiliary heating structure, the priority is given to shutting down the auxiliary heating structure. For example, combining the primary and secondary schemes mentioned above, during the simultaneous execution of the primary and secondary schemes, the number of detected temperatures can be multiple, such as two, three, four, or other numbers. If one or more detected temperatures meet the corresponding first preset condition, and at the same time, one detected temperature meets the corresponding second preset condition, then the auxiliary heating structure is directly shut down to avoid safety issues caused by excessively high temperatures at a certain location, thus ensuring the overall safety performance of the clothing processing equipment.
