[0002] In the field of fabric care, traditional dryers mainly rely on high-temperature drying technology to remove moisture from fabrics. However, this method has limited effectiveness in addressing odor problems. Odors such as sweat, cooking fumes, and mildew are often deeply embedded within the fabric fibers, and simple high-temperature drying is insufficient to completely remove these odor molecules and is also energy-intensive.

[0050] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0051] It should be understood that "multiple" as mentioned herein refers to two or more. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this document is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, to facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used in the embodiments of this application to distinguish identical or similar items with essentially the same function and effect. Those skilled in the art will understand that the terms "first," "second," etc., do not limit the quantity or execution order, and the terms "first," "second," etc., do not necessarily imply differentness.

[0052] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0053] This embodiment proposes a control method for fabric processing equipment, which can be applied to dryers and washer-dryer combos.

[0054] First, the fabric processing equipment of this embodiment will be described in detail.

[0055] The fabric processing equipment includes a housing, a fabric processing cylinder, and a drying system, both of which are housed within the housing. The drying system delivers hot air into the fabric processing cylinder.

[0056] Specifically: The fabric processing cylinder is equipped with an air inlet and an air outlet. The drying system includes a heating and dehumidifying unit, an air inlet duct, and an air outlet duct. The air inlet duct connects the air outlet of the heating and dehumidifying unit to the air inlet, and the air outlet duct connects the air inlet of the heating and dehumidifying unit to the air outlet.

[0057] The heating and dehumidification unit includes a blower and a heating and dehumidification section. The heating and dehumidification section can heat the airflow using a heat pump or an electric heating method. In one example, the heating and dehumidification section includes a dual-unit structure consisting of an evaporator and a condenser. In the airflow direction, the condenser is located downstream of the evaporator. Under the action of the blower, the hot airflow generated by the condenser is sent into the fabric processing cylinder through the air inlet duct. The hot airflow heats the wet fabric inside the cylinder, and the water in the wet fabric is separated and then enters the evaporator through the air outlet duct with the airflow inside the cylinder. After the hot and humid airflow is dehumidified and cooled by the evaporator, it forms a dry and cold airflow. The dry airflow enters the condenser, is heated by the condenser, and is then sent back into the fabric processing cylinder. This cycle repeats until the fabric inside the cylinder is dried.

[0058] The fabric treatment equipment also includes a deodorizing agent dispensing device, which is used to dispense deodorizing agent into the fabric treatment cylinder.

[0059] Specifically, the deodorizing agent dispensing device includes a deodorizing agent storage section, an atomizing section, and a spraying section. The deodorizing agent storage section and the spraying section are located in the space between the housing and the fabric treatment cylinder. The storage section includes a storage cavity that stores liquid deodorizing agent. The type of liquid deodorizing agent is not limited, but it is preferably a bio-enzyme deodorizing agent, which can achieve better deodorizing effect while avoiding damage to the fabric and the user.

[0060] The atomizing section includes an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end is connected to the storage chamber, and the outlet end is connected to the spraying section. The spraying section is located at the door seal of the fabric treatment cylinder or at the air inlet of the fabric treatment cylinder, and the spraying direction is towards the interior of the fabric treatment cylinder.

[0061] The liquid deodorizer in the deodorizer storage section can be controlled to enter the atomizing section. For example, a dispensing pump can be installed on the connecting pipe between the deodorizer storage section and the atomizing section to control the liquid deodorizer to enter the atomizing section. The atomizing section can atomize the liquid deodorizer and spray the atomized deodorizer into the fabric treatment cylinder through the spraying section.

[0062] Preferably, the spraying part is located at the air inlet so that the atomized deodorizing agent is carried into the fabric treatment cylinder under the action of hot airflow, thereby enabling the atomized deodorizing agent to be evenly distributed in the fabric treatment cylinder and effectively improving the deodorization effect.

[0063] In one specific example, the deodorizing agent dispensing device is equipped with a liquid level sensor to monitor the remaining amount of deodorizing agent in the storage chamber. If insufficient deodorizing agent is detected, an alarm is triggered, reminding the user to add more deodorizing agent. The atomizing section is a high-frequency ultrasonic atomizer, and the spraying section is an atomizing nozzle. The high-frequency ultrasonic atomizer can generate ultrafine mist particles with a diameter of 1-5 micrometers, vaporizing the liquid deodorizing agent and evenly adhering it to the fabric through the atomizing nozzle. The atomizing nozzle is installed downstream of the hot air outlet of the fabric treatment cylinder. The hot air flow evenly diffuses the atomized particles to the fabric surface and inside the fibers, while simultaneously activating the bio-enzyme activity. The spray angle of the atomizing nozzle is set to a wide-angle spray, with a spray angle of 0-120°, maximizing the coverage area. This ensures that the atomized particles cover all surfaces and dead corners of the fabric while avoiding excessive spraying at a single point, which could lead to waste of bio-enzymes and secondary contamination of the fabric due to excessively high local concentrations. The deodorizer sprayed through the atomizing nozzle has a wide coverage area on the fabric, adheres evenly, and can penetrate deep into the fabric fibers to completely decompose odor molecules.

[0064] Furthermore, the fabric treatment equipment also includes an odor sensor, which is used to detect the odor concentration inside the fabric treatment drum.

[0065] Furthermore, the fabric processing equipment also includes a temperature sensor device for detecting the temperature inside the fabric processing drum.

[0066] Secondly, the control method of the fabric processing equipment of this application will be described in detail.

[0067] The fabric treatment equipment of this embodiment includes a deodorization program. This program can be executed independently, for example, according to a user-selected deodorization program command, or it can be nested within a drying program, performing the deodorization process during the drying process. The deodorization program of this embodiment is suitable for deodorizing agents whose deodorization efficiency is temperature-dependent, such as bio-enzyme deodorizing agents. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The flowchart and control method include the following steps:

[0068] S11. During the deodorization process, control the drying system to deliver hot air into the fabric treatment drum;

[0069] S12. Obtain the temperature inside the fabric treatment drum. When the temperature inside the fabric treatment drum reaches the set temperature, obtain the odor concentration and fabric property information inside the fabric treatment drum.

[0070] S13. When the odor concentration in the fabric treatment drum reaches the set concentration, determine the target delivery parameters based on the odor concentration and fabric property information.

[0071] S14. Control the deodorizing agent dispensing device to dispense deodorizing agent into the fabric treatment cylinder according to the target dispensing parameters.

[0072] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 5 The flowchart illustrates that after the fabric treatment equipment enters the deodorization process, the drying system needs to be controlled to deliver hot air into the fabric treatment drum. During the hot air delivery process, the temperature inside the drum needs to be monitored in real time or periodically. When the temperature inside the drum reaches the set temperature, the optimal temperature for achieving the deodorizing agent's active deodorization efficiency is determined. At this time, the odor concentration inside the fabric treatment drum and fabric attribute information are acquired, such as at least one of fabric weight, fabric material, and fabric type. After determining the odor concentration, it is further determined whether the odor concentration has reached the set concentration. If the set concentration has been reached, the odor concentration and fabric attribute information are combined to determine the target dosing parameters for the deodorizing agent dosing device. The dosing parameters include at least one of the deodorizing agent dosing duration and dosage; the target dosing parameters are at least one of the target dosing duration and target dosage. If the set concentration has not been reached, it indicates that the odor inside the drum is low, and deodorization treatment is unnecessary.

[0073] After determining the target dosing parameters, the deodorizing agent dosing device can be controlled to dispense the deodorizing agent according to the target dosing parameters, thereby effectively reducing the cost of using the deodorizing agent while ensuring the deodorizing effect.

[0074] Preferably, the deodorizer includes a bio-enzyme deodorizer. Bio-enzyme deodorizers contain multiple types of enzymes such as lipase and protease, which can effectively remove odor components such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and trimethylamine, causing them to degrade and produce non-toxic and harmless products such as carbon dioxide and water. They are safe and environmentally friendly, causing no harm to the human body. They work quickly, effectively removing odors in a short time, and their effective effect lasts for 1-2 months, with a shelf life of 1-2 years.

[0075] The set temperature is related to the activity temperature of the enzymes in the bio-enzyme deodorizer. For example, the set temperature range is 40℃~45℃ because within this temperature range, the enzyme activation temperature can be reached, and the activity of most bio-enzymes is significantly enhanced, effectively decomposing odor molecules such as sulfides, ammonia, and ethanethiol. Simultaneously, the hot air diffusion ensures further activation of the atomized bio-enzyme molecules, significantly improving the deodorizing efficiency of the bio-enzyme deodorizer on fabrics. If the set temperature is not reached, heating continues until it is reached.

[0076] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 2 The flowchart describes how to determine target delivery parameters based on odor concentration and fabric property information, including the following steps:

[0077] S21. Determine the baseline dosage parameters of the deodorizing agent based on the odor concentration;

[0078] S22. Determine the target deployment parameters based on the baseline deployment parameters and fabric attribute information.

[0079] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 5 The flowchart describes how, after determining the odor concentration, the baseline dosage parameters are first determined based on the odor concentration. The baseline dosage parameters and odor concentration satisfy a first correspondence, and within this first correspondence, the higher the odor concentration range, the larger the corresponding baseline dosage parameter value. After determining the odor concentration, the baseline dosage parameters for the deodorizer are determined based on the odor concentration and the first correspondence. The baseline dosage parameters are at least one of the baseline dosage and the baseline dosage duration.

[0080] In one example, after determining the odor concentration inside the cylinder, the corresponding odor concentration range is determined, and the baseline dosage parameters for the corresponding deodorizing agent are determined based on the odor concentration range. The first correspondence is shown in Table 1. For odor concentrations in the range of 0.3–0.5, which is considered a low odor concentration, there is less odor on the fabric, and the smell is relatively mild. For this, a shorter baseline dosage time of 1–3 minutes and a smaller baseline dosage of 5–10 ml can be used. For odor concentrations in the range of 0.5–1, which is considered a medium odor concentration, the odor on the fabric is moderate. For this, the baseline dosage time can be set to 3–5 minutes and the baseline dosage to 10–15 ml. For fabrics with odor concentrations greater than 1, the odor concentration on the fabric is relatively high, which may be in the initial stage of fabric drying and care. In this case, the baseline dosage time can be set to 5–10 minutes and the baseline dosage to 15–20 ml, increasing the spraying frequency.

[0081] Table 1:

[0082]

[0083] After determining the baseline dosage parameters, the target dosage concentration is then determined based on the fabric properties. Even with the same odor concentration level inside the container, using the same dosage parameters to deodorize fabrics with different properties will produce different deodorization effects. For example, considering fabric weight, lighter fabrics tend to have a smaller surface area, resulting in a higher amount of deodorizing agent adhering to each unit area, thus achieving the desired deodorization effect. Conversely, heavier fabrics tend to have a larger surface area, resulting in a lower amount of deodorizing agent adhering to each unit area, thus failing to achieve the desired deodorization effect.

[0084] Therefore, after determining the baseline delivery parameters, this embodiment further calibrates the baseline delivery parameters by combining them with fabric properties, thereby obtaining the target delivery parameters. This ensures that, under the same odor concentration level in the drum, better deodorization effects can be achieved for clothing with different fabric properties.

[0085] In one example, fabric attribute information includes fabric weight. Determining target deployment parameters based on baseline deployment parameters and fabric attribute information includes the following steps:

[0086] S31. Determine the compensation coefficient based on the weight of the fabric;

[0087] S32. Determine the target deployment parameters based on the product of the compensation coefficient and the baseline deployment parameters.

[0088] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 5The flowchart shows that the compensation coefficient and the fabric weight satisfy a second correspondence, and in this second correspondence, the larger the fabric weight value, the larger the corresponding compensation coefficient value. After determining the fabric weight, the compensation coefficient is determined according to the second correspondence.

[0089] In one example, after determining the fabric weight, the corresponding fabric weight range is determined, and the corresponding compensation coefficient is determined based on the fabric weight range. The second correspondence is shown in Table 2: for fabric weights below 0.5 kg, the compensation coefficient is 1.2; for fabric weights between 0.5 and 1 kg, the compensation coefficient is 1.5; and for fabric weights above 1 kg, the compensation coefficient is 1.8.

[0090] Table 2:

[0091] Fabric weight range compensation coefficient ≤0.5kg 1.2 0.5~1kg 1.5 >1kg 1.8

[0092] After determining the compensation coefficient, the target dosage is determined according to the pre-stored compensation algorithm formula: Target dosage = Baseline dosage parameter × Compensation coefficient. Once the target dosage parameter is determined, the deodorizing agent dispensing device starts working, dispensing the deodorizing agent into the fabric treatment cylinder according to the target dosage parameter.

[0093] During the deodorization process, odor sensors continuously monitor the odor concentration inside the fabric treatment drum. Based on the actual odor concentration on the fabric, the timing and dosage of the deodorizing agent are dynamically adjusted. Simultaneously, the odor concentration detected by the sensors is used to determine if it falls below a preset threshold. The preset odor concentration is less than 0.3. If the concentration is below the set value, it indicates that the odor on the clothing has been removed, and the ultrasonic atomizing spray system is shut off, ending the deodorization process. Otherwise, the dosage and duration of the deodorizing agent application continue to be adjusted until the odor concentration on the fabric falls below the set value.

[0094] In one alternative implementation, the fabric treatment equipment includes a drying program, which includes a preheating stage and a drying stage executed sequentially. The control method further includes executing a deodorization program during the preheating stage because the preheating stage is the process of raising the temperature inside the drum from a lower temperature to a preset drying temperature. This stage can achieve the set temperature inside the drum. The temperature in the drying stage is higher, often reaching above 70°C. The temperature in this stage exceeds the set temperature, so it is most appropriate to execute the deodorization program during the preheating stage.

[0095] In one alternative implementation, the drying system includes a blower for controlling the velocity of hot air entering the fabric treatment drum. A deodorization procedure is performed during the preheating stage, including the following steps:

[0096] S41. During the preheating stage, the rotation speed of the fabric treatment drum and the hot air velocity are coordinated and controlled to control the surface humidity of the fabric and the temperature inside the fabric treatment drum.

[0097] S42. When the surface humidity of the fabric reaches the set humidity range and the temperature inside the fabric treatment cylinder reaches the set temperature and is maintained for the set duration, control the deodorizing agent dispensing device to dispense deodorizing agent into the fabric treatment cylinder with the target dispensing parameters.

[0098] In this embodiment, the temperature inside the drum affects the deodorizing efficiency of the deodorizing agent, while the moisture content on the fabric surface also affects the ease with which the deodorizing agent adheres to the fabric surface. Therefore, it is necessary to control the temperature inside the drum and the humidity on the fabric surface to the optimal range to obtain the best deodorizing effect.

[0099] The rotation speed of the fabric treatment drum determines the frequency of fabric tumbling within the drum, affecting the uniformity of fabric heating and the amount of odor molecules released. Simultaneously, the hot air velocity determines the heat exchange efficiency within the drum, influencing the rate of temperature rise and the rate of moisture evaporation from the fabric surface. Therefore, by coordinating the rotation speed and hot air velocity of the DEO fabric treatment drum, control over the fabric surface humidity and the drum temperature can be achieved.

[0100] When the fabric surface humidity reaches the set range and the temperature inside the fabric treatment drum reaches the set temperature and is maintained for the set duration, the optimal time for odor removal is reached. At this point, the odor-removing agent dispensing device is controlled to dispense the odor-removing agent into the fabric treatment drum according to the target dispensing parameters. This allows the odor-removing agent to form a stable adhesion layer on the surface of the clothing. Simultaneously, with the help of the maintained temperature inside the drum, the peak period of the odor removal reaction immediately begins. Compared to the traditional "dispensing when the temperature reaches the target" mode, this solution can effectively improve the odor removal rate.

[0101] In one optional implementation, the preheating stage includes N preheating processes executed sequentially, each preheating process having a corresponding fabric processing drum rotation speed and hot air velocity, 2≤n≤N, N≥2; wherein: the fabric processing drum rotation speed corresponding to the nth preheating process is greater than the fabric processing drum rotation speed corresponding to the (n-1)th preheating process; and the hot air velocity corresponding to the nth preheating process is less than the hot air velocity corresponding to the (n-1)th preheating process.

[0102] During the preheating stage, the rotation speed of the fabric treatment cylinder and the hot air velocity are coordinated to control the fabric surface humidity and the temperature inside the fabric treatment cylinder, including: controlling the fabric treatment cylinder to rotate at a speed corresponding to the current preheating process, and controlling the hot air to enter the fabric treatment cylinder at a hot air velocity corresponding to the current preheating process.

[0103] In a specific example, the preheating stage includes three preheating processes executed sequentially: The first preheating process is the initial preheating stage (e.g., the first 0-5 minutes of the preheating stage), during which the fabric processing drum uses a low rotation speed (30-40 r / min) and a high hot air velocity (3.5-4 m / s) to quickly establish heat circulation within the drum; the second preheating process is the middle preheating stage (e.g., the 5-10 minutes of the preheating stage), during which the fabric processing drum uses a medium rotation speed (40-50 r / min) and a medium hot air velocity (2.5-3 m / s) to balance garment movement and moisture retention; the third preheating process is the final preheating stage (e.g., the 10-15 minutes of the preheating stage), during which the hot air velocity is medium-high rotation speed (50-60 r / min) and a low hot air velocity (2-2.5 m / s) to ensure that the fabric surface is slightly dry and the temperature is stable. In practical applications, the preheating stage is not limited to the above three processes and can have more than four processes. The rotation speed of the fabric treatment drum and the hot air velocity are designed according to the above rules.

[0104] In one alternative implementation, during the process of adding the deodorizing agent into the fabric treatment cylinder, the hot air is controlled to enter the fabric treatment cylinder at a speed not exceeding that of the hot air corresponding to the last preheating process, so that the deodorizing agent can fully react with the odor molecules on the fabric surface, reducing the amount of deodorizing agent that flows out of the fabric treatment cylinder with the airflow inside the cylinder, and effectively ensuring the deodorization effect.

[0105] In the above embodiments of this application, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own emphasis. Parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to in the relevant descriptions of other embodiments. The steps illustrated in the related flowcharts can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown here. In other words, the order of steps described in the foregoing embodiments is merely an example. Reasonable adjustments to the order of steps based on the content of the embodiments of this application are also within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0106] This application also provides an electronic device, which includes one or more processors and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions. When the one or more processors execute the program instructions, the one or more processors are used to implement the control method of the fabric processing device provided above.

[0107] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, the electronic device includes a processor 100, at least one communication bus 200, a user interface 300, at least one external communication interface 400, and a memory 500. The communication bus 200 is configured to enable communication between these components. The user interface 300 may include a display screen, and the external communication interface 400 may include standard wired and wireless interfaces. The memory 500 stores control methods for a fabric processing device. The processor 100 is used to employ the aforementioned methods when executing the control methods for the fabric processing device stored in the memory 500.

[0108] This application embodiment also provides a fabric treatment device, which employs the control method for fabric treatment devices provided above, or includes the electronic equipment provided above. The fabric treatment device includes:

[0109] A fabric processing tube, which is equipped with an air inlet and an air outlet;

[0110] The drying system includes a heating and dehumidifying unit, an air inlet duct, and an air outlet duct. The air inlet duct connects the air outlet of the heating and dehumidifying unit to the air inlet, and the air outlet duct connects the air inlet of the heating and dehumidifying unit to the air outlet.

[0111] A deodorizing agent dispensing device is used to dispense deodorizing agent into a fabric treatment cylinder;

[0112] The control device is configured to, during the deodorization process, control the drying system to deliver hot air into the fabric treatment drum, and when the temperature at the target location of the fabric treatment drum reaches the set temperature, determine the baseline dosing parameters based on the odor concentration in the fabric treatment drum, and determine the target dosing parameters based on the baseline dosing parameters and fabric property information, and control the deodorizing agent dosing device to dosing deodorizing agent into the fabric treatment drum with the target dosing parameters.

[0113] In one alternative implementation, the deodorizing agent dispensing device includes:

[0114] The deodorizing agent storage section stores liquid deodorizing agent.

[0115] The atomizing section has its inlet end connected to the deodorizing agent storage section. The liquid deodorizing agent in the deodorizing agent storage section can be controlled to enter the atomizing section, which is used to atomize the liquid deodorizing agent.

[0116] The spraying section is connected to the outlet end of the atomizing section. The spraying section is located at the air inlet of the fabric treatment cylinder and the spraying direction is towards the inside of the fabric treatment cylinder. It is used to spray the atomized deodorizing agent into the fabric treatment cylinder.

[0117] This embodiment determines the optimal deodorization efficiency based on the temperature sensor's settings. Once the internal temperature reaches the set temperature, the deodorizing agent dispensing device activates, and the atomizing unit begins operation, atomizing the liquid deodorizing agent into ultrafine particles. These particles are then evenly distributed onto the fabric via hot air circulation within the fabric treatment cylinder. Throughout the deodorization process, the intelligent control system continuously monitors odor and temperature data, dynamically adjusting the dispensing parameters. Based on the odor concentration value fed back by the odor sensor, it determines whether the concentration is below the set value. If it is, the user's desired deodorization effect is achieved, and the deodorization process ends.
