[0003] Existing garment care devices typically have an air outlet and an air return vent inside the cavity. The outlet delivers hot air to dry the clothes inside, while the air return vent has a filter to prevent lint or other impurities from entering the air duct. After a period of use, lint and other impurities easily accumulate on the filter, causing blockage. If the filter is not cleaned regularly, the performance of the garment care device will deteriorate. However, requiring users to clean it periodically makes it difficult to tailor cleaning to individual usage patterns, resulting in frequent cleaning, wasted maintenance resources, and a reduced user experience.

Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0048] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or they can refer to the internal communication between two components.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0049] The following examples use a clothes dryer as an example.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dryer provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a cabinet 1, which contains a care chamber 11 and a drying duct 12. The front of the cabinet 1 has a loading / unloading opening connected to the care chamber 11, allowing the user to load and unload clothes 2 from the care chamber 11. A hanging rod 111 for hanging clothes 2 is located at the top of the care chamber 11. A gravity sensor 1111 is installed at the hanging point of the hanging rod 111 to detect the weight of the clothes 2 on the hanging rod 111. The clothes 2 can be hung on the hanging rod 111 using a clothes hanger 3. The air outlet 121 of the drying duct 12 is located at the bottom of the care chamber 11, the main body of the drying duct 12 is located at the back of the cabinet 1, and the return air inlet 122 of the drying duct 12 is located at the top of the care chamber 11. A filter 1221 is installed at the return air inlet 122 to prevent lint and / or other impurities from entering the drying duct 12 during air circulation. A temperature and humidity sensor 1222 is also installed at the return air vent 122 to obtain the temperature and humidity of the air at the return air vent 122. The drying air duct 12 is equipped with a fan 123 and a heating device 124. The fan 123 is used to circulate the air inside the cabinet 1, and the heating device 124 is used to heat the air. The fan 123 and the heating device 124 are specifically located at the bottom of the cabinet 1. The drying process is as follows: The fan 123 and the heating device 124 are started. The air in the care chamber 11 is circulated through the drying air duct 12 under the drive of the fan 123. The air is heated by the heating device 124 in the drying air duct 12 and becomes hot air. The hot air is discharged from the air outlet 121 and blown towards the clothes 2 to be dried. It flows through the clothes 2 and takes away some of the moisture in the clothes 2. At the same time, it also carries some lint into the airflow. Finally, it returns to the drying air duct 12. This process is repeated. The wet clothes 2 gradually become dry. The lint at the filter screen 1221 will gradually increase until it blocks the filter screen 1221.

[0051] To address the issue of the need for regular cleaning of the filter 1221 in existing dryers, such as... Figure 3As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a method for determining the blockage of a dryer filter 1221. The method includes the following steps:

[0052] S1: Obtain the initial weight of the clothes 2 to be dried. Specifically, the clothes 2 to be dried are hung on the hanging rod 111 using the clothes hanger 3, and the gravity sensor 1111 on the hanging rod 111 obtains the initial weight of the clothes 2 to be dried.

[0053] S2: After drying at a preset temperature for a preset time, obtain the air humidity and the weight of the clothes 2 after drying. Specifically, after the dryer dries at a preset temperature for a preset time, the temperature and humidity sensor 1222 at the return air vent 122 detects the humidity, while the gravity sensor 1111 on the hanging rod 111 obtains the weight of the clothes 2 after drying. The air humidity is a corrected value based on the result obtained by the temperature and humidity sensor 1222.

[0054] It should be noted that the preset temperature can be a single temperature value or multiple temperature values. Specifically, taking a clothes dryer as an example, different types of dryers may have different temperature control strategies during the drying process: fixed temperature mode or intelligent temperature adjustment mode. Some dryers may have fixed temperature settings, such as low, medium, and high temperatures. Users can select the appropriate temperature according to the material of the clothes and their needs. In this mode, the dryer temperature remains constant throughout the drying process. In intelligent temperature adjustment mode, the dryer automatically adjusts the preset temperature according to the humidity and material of the clothes. For example, in the early stages of drying, because the humidity inside the equipment is low while the humidity of the clothes is high, the dryer may use a higher temperature to quickly remove the moisture from the surface of the clothes. As the clothes gradually dry, the dryer gradually lowers the temperature to avoid overheating damage to the clothes. In this mode, the dryer temperature gradually changes as the drying process progresses.

[0055] For the two different modes mentioned above, the preset temperature used to determine the blockage of filter 1221 can be a single fixed temperature value or multiple temperature values, depending on the drying program of the dryer.

[0056] Furthermore, the preset time in this invention can be the total duration of the drying program or any suitable time period included in the total duration of the drying program. The specific correspondence is preset during the experimental stage.

[0057] S3: Determine the target humidity threshold for the dryer based on the preset temperature, preset time, and weight change. The weight change is the difference between the initial weight and the weight after drying.

[0058] Specifically, the change in weight is determined using the following formula:

[0059] △G = G1 - G2;

[0060] Where △G is the change in weight, G1 is the initial weight, and G2 is the weight after drying.

[0061] As an example, if the initial weight G1 is 2kg and the weight after drying G2 is 1kg, then the weight change ΔG is: ΔG=G1-G2=2kg-1kg=1kg.

[0062] Step S3 specifically includes:

[0063] S31: Based on the preset temperature and preset time, determine the cumulative drying value. The cumulative drying value has a preset mapping relationship with the preset temperature and preset time.

[0064] S32: Determine the target humidity threshold based on the weight change and the cumulative drying value.

[0065] Step S31 specifically includes:

[0066] S311: Determine the temperature coefficient based on the preset temperature.

[0067] It should be noted that the temperature coefficient and the preset temperature have a pre-defined mapping relationship. Different preset temperatures can correspond to different temperature coefficients, or a temperature range can correspond to a single temperature coefficient. Furthermore, the higher the preset temperature, the higher the temperature coefficient. The preset temperature here is usually the drying temperature set in the drying program; it can be a fixed temperature value or one or more temperature values ​​intelligently adjusted according to the drying stage. For example, if the preset temperature is 65℃ to 70℃, the corresponding temperature coefficient is 2; if the preset temperature is 70℃ to 75℃, the corresponding temperature coefficient is 3; and if the preset temperature is 75℃ to 80℃, the corresponding temperature coefficient is 4. Typically, the temperature coefficient E can be an integer value such as 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.

[0068] S312: Determine the cumulative drying value based on the temperature coefficient and preset time.

[0069] Specifically, the cumulative drying value is determined using the following formula:

[0070] Q0 = E*t;

[0071] Where Q0 is the cumulative drying value, E is the temperature coefficient, and t is the preset time.

[0072] As an example, if the temperature coefficient E is 2 and the preset time t is 300s, then the cumulative drying value Q0 is: Q0 = E * t = 2 * 300 = 600.

[0073] Step S32 specifically includes:

[0074] S321: Determine the standard drying energy efficiency value based on the weight change and the cumulative drying value.

[0075] Specifically, the standard drying energy efficiency value is determined using the following formula:

[0076] D0 = Q0 / △G;

[0077] D0 represents the standard drying energy efficiency value.

[0078] As an example, if the cumulative drying value Q0 is 600 and the weight change ΔG is 1kg, then the standard drying energy efficiency value D0 is: D0=Q0 / ΔG=600 / 1=600.

[0079] S322: Determine the target humidity threshold based on the standard drying energy efficiency value. The target humidity threshold and the standard drying energy efficiency value have a preset mapping relationship.

[0080] It should be noted that the target humidity threshold may include multiple target humidity thresholds. In this embodiment, the target humidity threshold includes at least a first target humidity threshold and / or a second target humidity threshold.

[0081] Step S322 specifically includes:

[0082] S3221: Based on the standard drying energy efficiency value, determine the first energy efficiency value interval in which the standard drying energy efficiency value falls. Specifically, the minimum value of the first energy efficiency value interval is D1, the maximum value of the first energy efficiency value interval is D2, and the relationship between the standard drying energy efficiency value and the minimum and maximum values ​​of the first energy efficiency value interval is: D2>D0>D1.

[0083] S3222: Determine a first target humidity threshold based on a first energy efficiency value range. The first energy efficiency value range and the first target humidity threshold have a preset mapping relationship.

[0084] It should be noted that different energy efficiency value ranges correspond to different target humidity thresholds, and the larger the minimum and maximum values ​​of the energy efficiency value range, the larger the corresponding target humidity threshold. The target humidity thresholds can be 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 90%, 95%, etc. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first energy efficiency value range corresponds to the first target humidity threshold, and the second energy efficiency value range corresponds to the second target humidity threshold.

[0085] For example, if the minimum value of the energy efficiency value range is 100 and the maximum value is 300, the corresponding target humidity threshold is 65%. If the minimum value of the energy efficiency value range is 300 and the maximum value is 500, the corresponding target humidity threshold is 70%. If the minimum value of the energy efficiency value range is 500 and the maximum value is 700, the corresponding target humidity threshold is 75%.

[0086] S3223: Based on the first energy efficiency value range, determine the second energy efficiency value range, where the minimum value of the second energy efficiency value range is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the first energy efficiency value range. Specifically, the minimum value of the second energy efficiency value range is D3, and the maximum value of the second energy efficiency value range is D4. The relationship between the standard drying energy efficiency value and the minimum value of the first energy efficiency value range, the maximum value of the first energy efficiency value range, the minimum value of the second energy efficiency value range, and the maximum value of the second energy efficiency value range is: D4>D3≥D2>D0>D1, or D4>D3>D2>D0>D1.

[0087] S3224: Determine a second target humidity threshold based on a second energy efficiency value range. The second energy efficiency value range and the second target humidity threshold have a preset mapping relationship, and the second target humidity threshold is greater than the first target humidity threshold.

[0088] As an example, if the standard drying energy efficiency value is 600, then the minimum value of the first energy efficiency value range is 500, the maximum value of the first energy efficiency value range is 700, and the corresponding first target humidity threshold is 75%. Then the minimum value of the second energy efficiency value range is 700, the maximum value of the second energy efficiency value range is 900, and the corresponding second target humidity threshold is 80%.

[0089] As an example, if the standard drying energy efficiency value is 600, then the minimum value of the first energy efficiency value range is 500, the maximum value of the first energy efficiency value range is 700, and the corresponding first target humidity threshold is 75%. Then the minimum value of the second energy efficiency value range is 900, the maximum value of the second energy efficiency value range is 1100, and the corresponding second target humidity threshold is 85%.

[0090] S4: Compare the air humidity with a target humidity threshold. Specifically, compare the air humidity with a first target humidity threshold and / or a second target humidity threshold.

[0091] S5: Based on the comparison results, determine the clogging status of filter 1221.

[0092] This invention can determine the target humidity threshold of the dryer based on preset temperature, preset time, and the weight change of the clothes 2, and compare the air humidity with the target humidity threshold to determine the clogging status of the dryer's filter 1221. This allows users to decide whether to clean the filter 1221 based on the judgment result, avoiding wasting maintenance manpower and improving the user experience.

[0093] In some specific embodiments, step S5 specifically includes:

[0094] S51a: If the air humidity is less than or equal to the first target humidity threshold, then filter 1221 is determined to be unclogged; or

[0095] S52a: If the air humidity is greater than or equal to the first target humidity threshold, then filter 1221 is determined to be clogged.

[0096] As an example, step S51a is as follows: If the air humidity is less than or equal to the first target humidity threshold, then the filter 1221 is determined to be unclogged. If the air humidity is 65% and the first target humidity threshold is 70%, since the air humidity is less than the first target humidity threshold, it means that the drying effect of the dryer can meet expectations, and the filter 1221 is determined to be unclogged, and the user does not need to clean the filter 1221; if the air humidity is 70%, since the air humidity is equal to the first target humidity threshold, it means that the drying effect of the dryer can meet expectations, and the filter 1221 is determined to be unclogged, and the user does not need to clean the filter 1221.

[0097] As an example, step S52a is as follows: If the air humidity is greater than or equal to the first target humidity threshold, then the filter 1221 is determined to be clogged. If the air humidity is 75% and the first target humidity threshold is 70%, since the air humidity is greater than the first target humidity threshold, it means that the drying effect of the dryer cannot meet expectations, and the filter 1221 is determined to be clogged, and the user needs to clean the filter 1221; if the air humidity is 70%, since the air humidity is equal to the first target humidity threshold, it means that the drying effect of the dryer cannot meet expectations, and the filter 1221 is determined to be clogged, and the user needs to clean the filter 1221.

[0098] In some specific embodiments, step S5 specifically includes:

[0099] S51b: If the air humidity is less than or equal to the first target humidity threshold, then filter 1221 is determined to be unclogged; or

[0100] S52b: If the air humidity is greater than or equal to the first target humidity threshold and less than or equal to the second target humidity threshold, then filter 1221 is judged to be slightly clogged; or

[0101] S53b: If the air humidity is greater than or equal to the second target humidity threshold, then filter 1221 is judged to be severely clogged.

[0102] As an example, step S51b is as follows: If the air humidity is less than or equal to the first target humidity threshold, then the filter 1221 is determined to be unclogged. If the air humidity is 65%, the first target humidity threshold is 70%, and the second target humidity threshold is 75%, since the air humidity is less than the first target humidity threshold, it means that the drying effect of the dryer can meet expectations, and the filter 1221 is determined to be unclogged, and the user does not need to clean the filter 1221; if the air humidity is 70%, since the air humidity is equal to the first target humidity threshold, it means that the drying effect of the dryer can meet expectations, and the filter 1221 is determined to be unclogged, and the user does not need to clean the filter 1221.

[0103] As an example, step S52b is as follows: If the air humidity is greater than or equal to the first target humidity threshold and less than the second target humidity threshold, then the filter 1221 is judged to be slightly clogged. If the air humidity is 72%, the first target humidity threshold is 70%, and the second target humidity threshold is 75%, since the air humidity is greater than the first target humidity threshold and less than the second target humidity threshold, it means that the drying effect of the dryer cannot meet expectations, but still has a good drying effect. Therefore, the filter 1221 is judged to be slightly clogged, and the user can either clean the filter 1221 or not. If the air humidity is 70%, since the air humidity is equal to the first target humidity threshold and less than the second target humidity threshold, it means that the drying effect of the dryer cannot meet expectations, but still has a good drying effect. Therefore, the filter 1221 is judged to be slightly clogged, and the user can either clean the filter 1221 or not.

[0104] As an example, step S52b is as follows: If the air humidity is greater than the first target humidity threshold and less than or equal to the second target humidity threshold, then the filter 1221 is judged to be slightly clogged. If the air humidity is 72%, the first target humidity threshold is 70%, and the second target humidity threshold is 75%, since the air humidity is greater than the first target humidity threshold and less than the second target humidity threshold, it means that the drying effect of the dryer cannot meet expectations, but still has a good drying effect. Therefore, the filter 1221 is judged to be slightly clogged, and the user can either clean the filter 1221 or not. If the air humidity is 75%, since the air humidity is greater than the first target humidity threshold and equal to the second target humidity threshold, it means that the drying effect of the dryer cannot meet expectations, but still has a good drying effect. Therefore, the filter 1221 is judged to be slightly clogged, and the user can either clean the filter 1221 or not.

[0105] As an example, step S53b is as follows: If the air humidity is greater than or equal to the second target humidity threshold, then the filter 1221 is determined to be severely clogged. If the air humidity is 77%, the first target humidity threshold is 70%, and the second target humidity threshold is 75%, since the air humidity is greater than the second target humidity threshold, it means that the drying effect of the dryer cannot meet expectations, and the filter 1221 is determined to be severely clogged, and the user needs to clean the filter 1221; if the air humidity is 75%, since the air humidity is equal to the second target humidity threshold, it means that the drying effect of the dryer cannot meet expectations, and the filter 1221 is determined to be severely clogged, and the user needs to clean the filter 1221.
