Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electromechanical control technology, and more specifically, to a garment processing device. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, using clothing processing equipment to process clothing has become one of the most common methods of clothing processing, such as clothing washing, clothing drying, and clothing dry cleaning.

[0003] In related technologies, considering that clothing processing equipment will generate significant vibrations during the processing of clothing, in order to reduce the vibration of the clothing processing equipment, feet are usually installed at the bottom of the clothing processing equipment according to the current ground environment. The damping performance of the foot material is used to reduce the vibration of the clothing processing equipment in the current ground environment. However, since the ground environment where the clothing processing equipment is located may change with the user's needs, the shock absorption effect of the feet on the clothing processing equipment will decrease. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The embodiments of this application provide a garment processing device, the purpose of which is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] The purpose of this application is also to enable the foot structure of the foot assembly to be adjusted to the foot structure that maximizes the reduction of vibration in the current ground environment where the garment processing equipment is located.

[0006] The purpose of this application is also to ensure that the amplitude generated by the garment processing equipment can be effectively reduced after the base structure of the base assembly is adjusted, so that the shock absorption effect of the base assembly on the garment processing equipment is not easily reduced.

[0007] The purpose of this application is also to improve the switching efficiency of the foot structure on the foot assembly in garment processing equipment.

[0008] The purpose of this invention is not limited to the purposes mentioned above, and those skilled in the art will clearly understand other purposes not mentioned from the following description.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, based on the aforementioned scheme, determining the target foot structure based on the processing information of the clothing processing equipment includes: determining the ground environment where the clothing processing equipment is located through the processing information; and determining the foot structure corresponding to the ground environment as the target foot structure.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, based on the aforementioned scheme, the garment processing device further includes a sensor component for acquiring the amplitude value of the garment processing device; determining the target foot structure based on the processing information of the garment processing device includes: determining the processing program of the garment processing device according to the processing information; acquiring the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor component according to the processing program; determining the minimum historical amplitude value among the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures; and determining the target foot structure based on the foot structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, based on the aforementioned scheme, according to the processing program, the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor component are obtained, including: according to the processing program, obtaining multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor component; calculating the average amplitude value corresponding to each foot structure based on the multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to each foot structure; and determining the historical amplitude value corresponding to each foot structure based on the average amplitude value corresponding to each foot structure.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, based on the aforementioned scheme, according to the processing program, multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor component are obtained, including: determining multiple processing stages of the garment processing equipment according to the processing program; obtaining the amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor component at different processing stages; and determining multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures based on the amplitude values ​​recorded at different processing stages.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, based on the aforementioned scheme, determining the target base structure based on the base structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value includes: obtaining the historical amplitude value corresponding to the current base structure; calculating the amplitude difference between the historical amplitude value corresponding to the current base structure and the minimum historical amplitude value; if the amplitude difference exceeds the amplitude threshold, then determining the base structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value as the target base structure.

[0015] In one embodiment of this application, based on the aforementioned scheme, before executing the step of obtaining the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor component according to the processing program, the controller is further configured to execute the following steps: obtaining the foot structure corresponding to the historical amplitude value recorded by the sensor component according to the processing program; if the number of foot structures corresponding to the historical amplitude value is lower than the number of foot structures in the foot component, then determining the target foot structure based on the other foot structures in the foot component besides the foot structure corresponding to the historical amplitude value.

[0016] In one embodiment of this application, based on the aforementioned scheme, controlling the extension of the support rod includes: determining the current foot structure of the foot assembly; if the current foot structure is different from the target foot structure, then controlling the extension of the support rod.

[0017] In one embodiment of this application, based on the aforementioned scheme, the foot assembly further includes: a rotating bracket, the rotating bracket being rotatably mounted on the housing, and at least two types of foot structures being spaced apart on the rotating bracket; determining the current foot structure of the foot assembly, including obtaining the rotation angle of the rotating bracket; and determining the current foot structure of the foot assembly based on the rotation angle.

[0018] In one embodiment of this application, based on the aforementioned scheme, the foot assembly includes a hydraulic rod, which is configured to correspond one-to-one with each foot structure, and the hydraulic rod extends to make the foot structure abut against the ground.

[0019] The details of other embodiments are included in the detailed description and the accompanying drawings.

[0020] According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the controller can determine the target foot structure through the processing information of the garment processing equipment, and then control the extension of the support rod to suspend the current foot structure of the foot assembly. The controller then adjusts the current foot structure of the foot assembly to the target foot structure, thereby preventing the garment processing equipment from tilting or shifting during the adjustment process. Finally, the controller retracts the support rod to bring the target foot structure into contact with the ground, thus achieving the purpose of switching the foot structure used to support the garment processing equipment. This allows the controller to adjust the damping between the garment processing equipment and the ground by using different materials in the foot structure of the foot assembly when the ground environment changes or the vibration of the garment processing equipment is significant, thereby adjusting the vibration generated by the garment processing equipment and improving the shock absorption effect of the foot assembly on the garment processing equipment.

[0021] According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the controller can determine the ground environment where the clothing processing equipment is located by processing information, and determine the foot structure corresponding to the ground environment as the target foot structure, so that the foot structure of the foot assembly can be adjusted to the foot structure that maximizes the reduction of vibration of the clothing processing equipment in the ground environment.

[0022] According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the controller can first determine the processing program of the garment processing device by processing information, and then obtain the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor component according to the processing program, so as to further determine the minimum historical amplitude value among the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures, that is, the minimum amplitude value generated by the garment processing device under the influence of various foot structures, so as to determine the target foot structure based on the foot structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value, thereby ensuring that the amplitude generated by the garment processing device can be effectively reduced after the current foot structure of the foot component is adjusted to the target foot structure, thus making it less likely for the shock absorption effect of the foot component on the garment processing device to decrease.

[0023] According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the controller can adjust the foot structure of the foot assembly by controlling the rotation of the rotating bracket, thereby improving the switching efficiency of the foot structure on the foot assembly in the garment processing equipment. Alternatively, the controller can adjust the foot structure of the foot assembly by controlling the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod, thereby improving the switching efficiency of the foot structure on the foot assembly in the garment processing equipment.

[0040] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, using garment processing equipment to process clothes has become a common method, such as washing, drying, and dry cleaning. In related technologies, considering the significant vibrations generated during garment processing, feet are typically installed at the bottom of the garment processing equipment to reduce vibrations based on the ground conditions. The damping properties of the feet are used to reduce vibrations in the current environment. However, since the ground conditions may change depending on the user's needs, the shock absorption effect of the feet may decrease.

[0041] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a garment processing device. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a garment processing device provided by an example of this application.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing device 10 may include a housing 11. The housing 11 can be used to provide a closed environment for the garments to be processed, so as to ensure that the garments to be processed are not easily thrown out during the operation of the garment processing device 10, and to ensure that the garments to be processed are not easily contaminated by the external environment.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 11 may include an inner cylinder 12. (See also...) Figure 2 As shown, the inner cylinder 12 is rotatably disposed in the box 11. The inner cylinder 12 is used to place the clothes to be processed, so as to concentrate the clothes to be processed in the box 11, so as to facilitate the processing of the clothes by the clothing processing equipment 10 and improve the processing efficiency of the clothing processing equipment 10.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 11 may include a motor 13. Continuing to refer to... Figure 2 As shown, the motor 13 can be installed in the housing 11, and the output end of the motor 13 can be connected to the inner drum 12 in the housing 11, so that the inner drum 12 in the housing 11 can be driven to rotate after the motor 13 is running, so as to process the clothes to be processed.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing equipment 10 may include a foot assembly 14. The foot assembly 14 may be disposed on the housing 11, and the foot assembly 14 is used to reduce the vibration generated by the garment processing equipment 10 during operation.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the foot assembly 14 may include at least two types of foot structures 16, and the material corresponding to each type of foot structure 16 may be different. The above does not limit the number of foot structures 16 in the foot assembly 14; the foot assembly 14 may include three, four, or more types of foot structures 16.

[0047] This application facilitates switching the current foot structure 16 of the foot assembly 14. In some embodiments of this application, the foot assembly 14 may include a rotating bracket 15. (See also...) Figure 3 As shown, the rotating bracket 15 is rotatably mounted on the housing 11, and at least two types of foot structures 16 are spaced apart on the rotating bracket 15. Thus, by rotating the rotating bracket 15, the current foot structure 16 of the foot assembly 14 can be switched.

[0048] The rotating bracket 15 can be set as a sphere, and at least two types of foot structures 16 can be set at intervals on the surface of the sphere.

[0049] The rotating bracket 15 can be set as a cylinder, and the axis of the cylinder can be set to be parallel to the horizon. The axis of the cylinder can also be set to have an angle of less than 90° with the horizon. At least two types of foot structures 16 can be set at intervals on the outer ring surface of the cylinder.

[0050] Secondly, this application aims to facilitate the rotation of the rotating bracket 15. In some embodiments of this application, the base assembly 14 may include a support rod 17. (See reference...) Figure 4 As shown, the support rod 17 is telescopically mounted on the housing 11. When the support rod 17 extends, it can suspend the current foot structure 16 of the foot assembly 14. When the support rod 17 retracts, it can make the foot structure 16 of the foot assembly 14 abut against the ground. Thus, the support rod 17 can be extended first to suspend the current foot structure 16 of the foot assembly 14, thereby facilitating the rotation of the rotating bracket 15. After the rotating bracket 15 rotates, the support rod 17 can be retracted, so that the foot structure 16 of the foot assembly 14 after the rotating bracket 15 rotates can abut against the ground.

[0051] The telescopic mechanism of the support rod 17 can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of the developers, such as pneumatic telescopic, hydraulic telescopic, or threaded telescopic.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the foot assembly 14 may include a hydraulic rod 18. (See also...) Figure 5 As shown, the hydraulic rod 18 is telescopically mounted on the housing 11. The hydraulic rod 18 is correspondingly mounted to each foot structure 16. After the hydraulic rod 18 extends, the corresponding foot structure 16 comes into contact with the ground. By extending the hydraulic rod 18 to be switched and then retracting it, the purpose of switching the current foot structure 16 of the foot assembly 14 can be achieved.

[0053] In addition to hydraulic telescopic extension, the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod 18 can also be adjusted to pneumatic or threaded extension and retraction according to the needs of the developers, without any restrictions.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing device 10 may include a control module 19, which may include a controller. The controller may be electrically connected to the foot assembly to control the foot structure currently corresponding to the foot assembly.

[0055] To illustrate, in order to execute a preset control program on the controller, the controller internally includes a storage module for storing the control program. This storage module can include internal memory and external memory. The internal memory is located inside the controller, while the external memory is electrically connected to the controller. Both the internal and external memory are used for writing and reading the control program, as well as storing execution parameters. For example, the internal memory is typically directly connected to the MCU (Microcontroller Unit) corresponding to the controller. Its storage capacity is generally small, but due to its direct connection to the MCU, its speed is relatively fast. In this application, the internal memory is used to store the instructions and data of the currently running program and directly exchange information with the MCU. The internal memory consists of many storage units, each capable of storing a binary number or an instruction represented by binary code. The internal memory is composed of random access memory (RAM) and read-only memory (ROM). External memory refers to memory other than the controller's internal memory and MCU cache. Such memory generally retains data even after power is off, such as hard drives, floppy disks, optical disks, and USB flash drives.

[0056] It should be understood that, above Figures 1-5 This is merely a schematic diagram of an exemplary garment processing device and does not imply any limitation on the structure of such devices. In practical applications, garment processing devices may include, but are not limited to, other types of garment processing equipment. Figures 1-5 The different components of the structure shown, such as those including... Figures 1-5 The structure shown may have more or fewer components, without limitation.

[0057] Additionally, the controller can be configured to perform the following steps:

[0058] The target base structure is determined based on the processing information from the garment processing equipment;

[0059] Control the extension of the support rod to suspend the current foot structure of the foot assembly through the support rod;

[0060] Adjust the current foot structure of the foot assembly to the target foot structure;

[0061] The control support rod retracts so that the target base structure comes into contact with the ground.

[0062] In the embodiments of this application, the controller can first determine the target foot structure based on the processing information of the garment processing equipment. The processing information of the garment processing equipment can characterize the processing information performed by the garment processing equipment on the garment to be processed. For example, information about the processing program run by the garment processing equipment, the weight information of the garment to be processed, and the environmental information of the garment processing equipment. The target foot structure characterizes the foot structure to be switched on the foot assembly determined based on the processing information of the garment processing equipment.

[0063] The method of determining the target foot structure based on the processing information of the clothing processing equipment can be flexibly set as needed. In one example, the foot structure with an association can be directly determined from the preset memory based on the processing information of the clothing processing equipment, and the foot structure can be determined as the target foot structure. In other words, the processing information of the clothing processing equipment and the foot structure can be stored in the preset memory in advance to improve the response speed of determining the target foot structure based on the processing information of the clothing processing equipment.

[0064] In another example, considering that the reduction in vibration of the garment handling equipment by the foot structure is related to the ground environment in which the garment handling equipment is located, the controller can determine the ground environment of the garment handling equipment by processing information, and then determine the foot structure corresponding to the ground environment as the target foot structure. Here, the foot structure corresponding to the ground environment represents the foot structure with the greatest vibration reduction among various foot structures of the foot assembly in the ground environment where the garment handling equipment is located.

[0065] It should be noted that the foot structure corresponding to each ground environment can be pre-determined by the developers through actual testing, and the foot structure and ground environment can be associated and stored in the local memory of the controller to reduce the time spent obtaining the foot structure corresponding to the ground environment.

[0066] In addition, in order to determine the ground environment where the clothing processing equipment is located by processing information, in some embodiments of this application, ground environment information input by the user can be obtained, and then processing information can be generated based on the ground environment information, so that the ground environment corresponding to the ground environment information in the processing information can be determined as the ground environment where the clothing processing equipment is currently located.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the clothing processing device may include an image acquisition device for acquiring an image of the ground where the clothing processing device is currently located. The device can receive the ground image acquired by the image acquisition device, generate processing information based on the ground image, and thus determine the ground environment corresponding to the ground image in the processing information as the ground environment where the clothing processing device is currently located.

[0068] In another example, considering the need to improve the vibration damping effect of the foot assembly on the garment handling equipment, it is necessary to determine the foot structure that will reduce the vibration generated by the garment handling equipment to the greatest extent. Based on this, the garment handling equipment may include a sensor assembly. The sensor assembly is used to acquire the amplitude value of the garment handling equipment. The sensor assembly may include accelerometers, vibration sensors, linear displacement sensors, piezoelectric sensors, or optical sensors, etc. The controller is electrically connected to the sensor assembly. It can then acquire the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor assembly based on the processed information, determine the minimum historical amplitude value among the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures, and finally determine the target foot structure based on the foot structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value. Thus, the foot structure that reduces the vibration generated by the garment handling equipment to the greatest extent is determined as the target foot structure.

[0069] In the above process, after the controller determines the target foot structure based on the processing information of the clothing processing equipment, it can control the extension of the support rod to suspend the current foot structure of the foot assembly. Then, the current foot structure of the foot assembly is adjusted to the target foot structure, thereby preventing the clothing processing equipment from tilting or shifting during the adjustment process. Finally, the support rod is retracted to bring the target foot structure into contact with the ground, thus achieving the purpose of switching the foot structure used to support the clothing processing equipment. When the ground environment where the clothing processing equipment is located changes or the vibration of the clothing processing equipment is large, the damping between the clothing processing equipment and the ground can be adjusted by using different materials in the foot structure of the foot assembly to adjust the vibration generated by the clothing processing equipment, thereby improving the shock absorption effect of the foot assembly for the clothing processing equipment.

[0070] The method for controlling the extension of the support rod can be flexibly configured as needed. In one example, the controller can first determine the current base structure of the base assembly, and then determine whether the current base structure is the same as the target base structure, thereby determining whether to control the extension of the support rod. Specifically:

[0071] If the current foot structure is the same as the target foot structure, it indicates that the current foot structure is the foot structure required by the garment processing equipment, and there is no need to control the extension of the support rod to avoid wasting resources. Conversely, if the current foot structure is different from the target foot structure, it indicates that the current foot structure is not the foot structure required by the garment processing equipment, and the foot structure of the foot assembly needs to be switched. In this case, the support rod is extended to facilitate the subsequent adjustment of the current foot structure of the foot assembly to the target foot structure.

[0072] In order to determine the current base structure, in some embodiments of this application, based on... Figure 3The garment processing equipment shown can be used by the controller to obtain the rotation angle of the rotating bracket and then determine the current foot structure of the foot assembly based on the rotation angle. In other words, each foot structure that is spaced apart on the rotating bracket can have a corresponding rotation angle, so as to determine the current foot structure by the rotation angle of the rotating bracket.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, based on Figure 5 The garment processing equipment shown can have a controller that can obtain the number of the currently extended hydraulic rod and then determine the current foot structure of the foot assembly based on the number. In other words, each foot structure's hydraulic rod can have a corresponding number, so that the current foot structure can be determined by the number of the currently extended hydraulic rod.

[0074] In another example, based on Figure 5 The garment processing equipment shown can have a controller that can obtain the extension length of the hydraulic rod corresponding to the current base structure, determine the target extension length of the support rod based on the extension length of the hydraulic rod and the preset length, and control the extension of the support rod according to the target extension length. This prevents the garment processing equipment from tilting when the ground height of the base structure at different positions of the garment processing equipment is inconsistent.

[0075] In addition, all the steps mentioned above can adjust the foot structure of all locations on the garment processing equipment simultaneously, based on the current ground environment. Specifically, based on the processing information of the garment processing equipment, a target foot structure is determined, and after extending the control support rod, the current foot structure of all foot components on the garment processing equipment is adjusted to the target foot structure. Furthermore, all the steps mentioned above can also adjust the foot structure of any location on the garment processing equipment. This involves determining the target foot component and target foot structure based on the processing information of the garment processing equipment, and after extending the control support rod, adjusting the current foot structure of the target foot component on the garment processing equipment to the target foot structure. This allows for adjustments to the foot components at different locations on different ground environments, further improving the shock absorption effect of the foot components on the garment processing equipment.

[0076] In another exemplary embodiment, this is based on the electrical connection between the controller and sensor components disposed in the garment handling device. The controller may also be configured to perform the following steps:

[0077] Determine the processing procedure for the garment processing equipment based on the processing information;

[0078] According to the processing program, the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various base structures recorded by the sensor components are obtained;

[0079] Determine the minimum historical amplitude value among the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various base structures;

[0080] The target base structure is determined based on the base structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value.

[0081] Considering that garment processing equipment typically employs processing methods corresponding to user needs when handling clothing, and that the amplitude of vibration generated by the equipment varies under different processing methods, a base structure that maximizes the reduction of vibration is crucial. To determine the target base structure based on the processing information of the garment processing equipment, the controller can first determine the processing program of the equipment. The processing program represents the processing method requested by the user for the current garment, such as a standard washing program, a drying program, or a wash-dry program.

[0082] The method for determining the processing program of the garment processing equipment based on the processing information can be flexibly configured as needed. In one example, the processing program to be run can be obtained from the processing information and identified as the processing program of the garment processing equipment. Specifically, after the user selects the desired processing program during the processing of the garments using the garment processing equipment, the controller can obtain the selected processing program, i.e., obtain the processing program to be run, and add it to the processing information of the garment processing equipment. Thus, the processing program to be run can be directly obtained based on the processing information, and subsequently identified as the processing program of the garment processing equipment.

[0083] In another example, the clothing information of the garment to be processed can be obtained from the processing information to determine the processing program corresponding to the clothing information of the garment to be processed as the processing program of the clothing processing device. Specifically, after the user places the garment to be processed into the inner drum of the clothing processing device, the controller can obtain the clothing information of the garment to be processed and add the clothing information, such as clothing type, clothing weight, or stain type, to the processing information of the clothing processing device. Accordingly, the clothing processing device can pre-set corresponding processing programs for different clothing information to improve the processing effect of the clothing processing device. Thus, the clothing information to be processed can be directly obtained from the processing information, and the processing program corresponding to the clothing information of the garment to be processed can be determined as the processing program of the clothing processing device.

[0084] In the embodiments of this application, after the controller determines the processing program of the garment processing equipment based on the processing information, it can obtain the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor components according to the processing program, so as to determine the shock absorption effect of different foot structures under the current processing program of the garment processing equipment.

[0085] The sensor component can record historical amplitude values ​​for various base structures using either a historical amplitude value recording table or a text recording. Furthermore, the sensor component can employ different recording methods for different processing programs to facilitate the acquisition and querying of amplitude data from the garment processing equipment under varying processing conditions.

[0086] In the above process, after the controller obtains the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor components according to the processing program, it can determine the minimum historical amplitude value among the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures. That is, the minimum amplitude value generated by the clothing processing equipment under the influence of various foot structures. Based on the foot structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value, the target foot structure is determined. This ensures that after the current foot structure of the foot component is adjusted to the target foot structure, the amplitude generated by the clothing processing equipment can be effectively reduced.

[0087] The method of determining the target foot structure based on the foot structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value can be flexibly set as needed. In one example, the foot structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value can be determined as the target foot structure, thereby ensuring that the foot assembly maximizes the shock absorption effect of the garment processing equipment.

[0088] In another example, the historical amplitude value corresponding to the current base structure can be obtained. Then, the amplitude difference between the historical amplitude value and the minimum historical amplitude value can be calculated. The target base structure is then determined by checking if the amplitude difference exceeds a preset amplitude threshold. Specifically, if the amplitude difference exceeds the threshold, it indicates that the current base structure's shock absorption effect on the garment processing equipment is weaker than that of the base structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value. In this case, the base structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value is determined as the target base structure. Conversely, if the amplitude difference is below the threshold, it indicates that the difference between the current base structure's shock absorption effect and that of the base structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value is small. To save resources and shorten the processing time of the garment processing equipment, the current base structure is determined as the target base structure.

[0089] Furthermore, the amplitude threshold can be flexibly adjusted according to requirements. Specifically, if the required vibration damping effect of the garment processing equipment is higher, the amplitude threshold will be lower. Conversely, if the required vibration damping effect of the garment processing equipment is lower, the amplitude threshold will be higher.

[0090] In another exemplary embodiment, the controller may also be configured to perform the following steps:

[0091] According to the processing program, obtain multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to various base structures recorded by the sensor components;

[0092] The average amplitude value corresponding to each of the various base structures is calculated based on the multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to each of the various base structures.

[0093] The historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to each of the various base structures are determined based on the average amplitude values ​​corresponding to each of the various base structures.

[0094] In the above process, when the controller obtains the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor components according to the processing program, it can first obtain multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor components according to the processing program, and then calculate the average amplitude value corresponding to various foot structures based on the multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures. After that, the historical amplitude value corresponding to various foot structures is determined based on the average amplitude value corresponding to various foot structures, so as to eliminate the amplitude fluctuations caused by the abnormal eccentric position of the clothes to be processed during the operation of the clothing processing equipment through the average amplitude value corresponding to various foot structures.

[0095] At the same time, it avoids situations where the amplitude value obtained by the controller deviates significantly from the actual amplitude value due to abnormalities in the sensor components during the acquisition or transmission of amplitude values ​​of the garment processing equipment. This improves the accuracy of the historical amplitude values ​​recorded by the sensor components for various foot structures, and consequently improves the accuracy of the shock absorption effect of various foot structures reflected by the historical amplitude values ​​under the current processing program of the garment processing equipment.

[0096] The method for acquiring multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor components, according to the processing program, can be flexibly set as needed. In one example, amplitude values ​​recorded within a preset time can be selected as the amplitude values ​​corresponding to the foot structures to ensure that the acquired amplitude values ​​match the ground environment where the clothing processing equipment is currently located.

[0097] In another example, a preset number of amplitude values ​​can be selected sequentially according to the recording time as the amplitude values ​​corresponding to the foot structure. This ensures that the obtained amplitude values ​​match the ground environment where the clothing processing equipment is currently located, while limiting the number of amplitude values ​​corresponding to the foot structure by the preset number. This reduces the amount of resources required to calculate the average amplitude value corresponding to each foot structure based on the multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to each foot structure.

[0098] In another example, considering that the processing program of a garment handling device typically includes multiple processing stages, the garment handling device can process the garments according to these stages, thereby improving the processing effect after implementing the current program. For example, a standard washing program includes a water intake stage, a washing stage, a rinsing stage, a spin-drying stage, etc. Correspondingly, the amplitude of vibration generated by the garment handling device differs at different processing stages.

[0099] Based on this, the controller can first determine multiple processing stages of the garment processing equipment according to the processing program, then obtain the amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures recorded by the sensor components at different processing stages, and then determine multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures based on the amplitude values ​​recorded at different processing stages. This allows the multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures to reflect the shock absorption effect of various foot structures at different processing stages under the current processing program of the garment processing equipment. Subsequently, when calculating the average amplitude value corresponding to various foot structures based on the multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to various foot structures, the average shock absorption effect of various foot structures after experiencing different processing stages under the current processing program of the garment processing equipment can be determined through the average amplitude value corresponding to various foot structures. This further improves the accuracy of the shock absorption effect of various foot structures under the current processing program of the garment processing equipment reflected by the historical amplitude values.

[0100] In another exemplary embodiment, before executing the step of obtaining the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to the various foot structures recorded by the sensor components according to the process, the controller may also be configured to perform the following steps:

[0101] According to the processing program, obtain the base structure corresponding to the historical amplitude values ​​recorded by the sensor components;

[0102] If the number of base structures corresponding to historical amplitude values ​​is less than the number of base structures in the base assembly, then the target base structure is determined based on the other base structures in the base assembly besides the base structures corresponding to historical amplitude values.

[0103] Since the foot assembly includes at least two types of foot structures, and users may only use the garment processing equipment a limited number of times, it becomes impossible to fully determine the shock absorption effect of each foot structure on the garment processing equipment. Consequently, it becomes impossible to identify the foot structure that maximizes shock absorption. Therefore, in the above process, before obtaining the historical amplitude values ​​recorded by the sensor assembly for each foot structure according to the processing program, the controller can first obtain the foot structure corresponding to the historical amplitude values ​​recorded by the sensor assembly, and then determine whether the number of foot structures corresponding to the historical amplitude values ​​is lower than the number of foot structures in the foot assembly. This ensures that the garment processing equipment is already operating under the influence of different foot structures.

[0104] Specifically, if the number of foot structures corresponding to historical amplitude values ​​is less than the number of foot structures in the foot assembly, it indicates that some foot structures on the foot assembly are still unused, meaning the shock absorption effect of these unused foot structures on the garment processing equipment cannot be determined. In this case, a target foot structure is determined based on the other foot structures in the foot assembly besides those corresponding to historical amplitude values. This helps determine the shock absorption effect of various foot structures on the foot assembly on the garment processing equipment, facilitating the subsequent identification of the foot structure with the maximum shock absorption effect. Conversely, if the number of foot structures corresponding to historical amplitude values ​​reaches the number of foot structures in the foot assembly, it indicates that all foot structures on the foot assembly are used, and the issue of not being able to fully determine the shock absorption effect of various foot structures on the foot assembly on the garment processing equipment is eliminated.

[0105] The method of determining the target foot structure based on other foot structures in the foot component besides the foot structure corresponding to the historical amplitude value can be flexibly set as needed. In one example, any other foot structure in the foot component besides the foot structure corresponding to the historical amplitude value can be directly determined as the target foot structure.

[0106] In another example, the current foot structure of the foot assembly can be obtained first, and then the shortest distance between the current foot structure and other foot structures besides the foot structure corresponding to the historical amplitude value can be determined. The foot structure corresponding to the shortest distance among the other foot structures can be determined as the target foot structure, thereby saving the adjustment time of the foot structure on the foot assembly, and thus saving the processing time of the clothing processing equipment for the clothing to be processed.

[0107] Figure 6 This application provides a control method for a garment processing device, combined with... Figures 1-5 A schematic diagram of the structure of the garment processing equipment is shown in the figure. The control method of the garment processing equipment includes the following steps S101-S108:

[0108] Step S101: In response to the operation signal of the clothing processing equipment, obtain the processing information of the clothing processing equipment.

[0109] The operation signal can be triggered by the user through the multimedia device on the cabinet, or it can be triggered by the user through the smart APP corresponding to the clothing processing equipment.

[0110] Step S102: Determine the ground environment where the clothing processing equipment is located by processing information.

[0111] The method of determining the ground environment where the clothing processing equipment is located by processing information can refer to the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0112] Step S103: Determine the base structure corresponding to the ground environment as the target base structure.

[0113] The foot structure corresponding to the ground environment is determined as the foot structure to be switched in the foot assembly. The foot structure corresponding to the ground environment is the foot structure with the best shock absorption effect among the various foot structures in the foot assembly when the clothing processing equipment is in that ground environment.

[0114] Step S104: Determine the current foot structure of the foot assembly.

[0115] This involves determining the base structure of the garment processing equipment that is currently in contact with the ground.

[0116] Step S105: Determine whether the current base structure is the target base structure.

[0117] In step S105, if the determination is yes, it indicates that the current foot structure is the best shock-absorbing structure among various foot structures on the foot assembly in the current ground environment for the clothing processing equipment. If the determination is no, it indicates that the foot structure of the foot assembly needs to be adjusted to the target foot structure to ensure that the shock-absorbing effect of the foot assembly for the clothing processing equipment in the current ground environment does not easily decrease. Steps S106-S108 are then executed to adjust the foot structure of the foot assembly. Specifically:

[0118] Step S106: Control the extension of the support rod to suspend the current foot structure of the foot assembly in the air, thereby preventing the garment processing equipment from tilting or shifting during the adjustment of the current foot structure of the foot assembly to the target foot structure.

[0119] Step S107: Adjust the current foot structure of the foot assembly to the target foot structure.

[0120] Step S108: Control the support rod to retract so that the target foot structure comes into contact with the ground, thereby adjusting the foot structure of the foot assembly to the target foot structure and improving the shock absorption effect of the foot assembly on the clothing processing equipment.

[0121] Figure 7 This application provides another embodiment of a control method for a garment processing device, combined with... Figures 1-5 A schematic diagram of the garment processing equipment is shown in the figure. The control method of the garment processing equipment includes the following steps S201-S216:

[0122] Step S201: In response to the operation signal of the garment processing equipment, obtain the processing information of the garment processing equipment.

[0123] Step S202: Determine the processing procedure of the garment processing equipment based on the processing information.

[0124] The method of determining the processing procedure of the clothing processing equipment by processing information can refer to the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0125] Step S203: According to the processing program, obtain the base structure corresponding to the historical amplitude value recorded by the sensor.

[0126] This refers to the base structure used by the garment processing equipment under the current processing program. The base structure corresponding to the historical amplitude value is the base structure used by various base structures in the base assembly during the current processing program of the garment processing equipment.

[0127] Step S204: Determine whether the number of base structures corresponding to the historical amplitude values ​​is lower than the number of base structures in the base assembly.

[0128] In step S204, if the determination is yes, it indicates that there are unused foot structures in the current processing program of the garment processing equipment. Then step S205 can be executed to determine the target foot structure based on the foot structures in the foot assembly other than the foot structure corresponding to the historical amplitude value, so as to determine the shock absorption effect of all foot structures on the foot assembly on the garment processing equipment.

[0129] Conversely, if the determination is negative, it indicates that all foot structures on the foot assembly have been used in the current processing procedure of the garment handling equipment. Steps S206-S212 can then be executed to determine the foot structure on the foot assembly that provides the best shock absorption for the garment handling equipment. Specifically:

[0130] Step S206: Determine multiple processing stages of the garment processing equipment according to the processing procedure.

[0131] Step S207: Obtain the amplitude values ​​corresponding to various base structures recorded by the sensor assembly at different processing stages.

[0132] Step S208: Based on the amplitude values ​​corresponding to various base structures recorded at different processing stages, determine multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to each base structure.

[0133] Step S209: Calculate the average amplitude value corresponding to each of the various base structures based on the multiple amplitude values ​​corresponding to each base structure.

[0134] Step S210: Determine the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to each of the various base structures based on the average amplitude values ​​corresponding to each of the various base structures.

[0135] Step S211: Determine the minimum historical amplitude value among the historical amplitude values ​​corresponding to various base structures.

[0136] Step S212: Determine the target base structure based on the base structure corresponding to the minimum historical amplitude value.

[0137] Steps S206-S212 allow for the identification of a foot structure with good shock absorption for the garment processing equipment from various foot structures on the foot assembly, with high accuracy. The specific implementation methods for steps S206-S212 can be found in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0138] Furthermore, after determining the target base structure through steps S201-S212, steps S213-S216 can be executed to adjust the base structure of the base assembly. Specifically:

[0139] Step S213: Determine whether the current base structure is the target base structure.

[0140] In step S213, if the determination is yes, it indicates that the current foot structure is the foot structure with the best shock absorption effect among various foot structures on the foot assembly when the garment processing equipment performs the current processing procedure. If the determination is no, it indicates that the foot structure of the foot assembly needs to be adjusted to the target foot structure in order to adjust the shock absorption effect of the foot assembly when the garment processing equipment performs the current processing procedure, and then steps S214-S216 are executed.

[0141] Step S214: Control the extension of the support rod to suspend the current foot structure of the foot assembly in the air, thereby preventing the garment processing equipment from tilting or shifting during the adjustment of the current foot structure of the foot assembly to the target foot structure.

[0142] Step S215: Adjust the current foot structure of the foot assembly to the target foot structure.

[0143] Step S216: Control the support rod to retract so that the target foot structure comes into contact with the ground, thereby adjusting the foot structure of the foot assembly to the target foot structure, and thus adjusting the shock absorption effect of the foot assembly on the clothing processing equipment.
