Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of clothes processing equipment, and in particular relates to a control method of clothes processing equipment and clothes processing equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the technical field of laundry equipment, the drum washing machine is favored due to its water saving and high washing rate. Its working principle mainly simulates the manual beating washing mode, and compared with the traditional stirring washing, the drum washing machine is optimized in water consumption and washing effect. However, although the drum washing machine has significant advantages in theory, the realization of the beating effect in actual application faces many technical challenges.
[0003] Firstly, the realization of the beating effect requires that the washing machine motor, drive and transmission device have high technical specifications and performance requirements. Under the existing technical conditions, it is difficult to completely simulate the intensity and frequency of manual beating, so the drum washing machine relies more on mechanical friction and heating and other auxiliary means to improve the washing rate in the actual washing process.
[0004] Secondly, the current washing mode of the drum washing machine generally adopts the mode of intermittent forward and reverse rotation of the motor at a fixed speed. The rotation stop ratio, speed and rotation time of this mode are preset and fixed. Although this fixed washing mode simplifies the control process, it ignores the dynamic distribution of clothes in the washing drum and the change of washing effect.
[0005] In addition, in order to achieve the ideal washing effect, it is often necessary to increase the heating time, prolong the washing time and improve the water level, which not only increases the energy consumption and water consumption of the washing machine, but also prolongs the washing time and reduces the user experience.
[0006] Therefore, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, and to provide a control method of clothes processing equipment and clothes processing equipment, which ensures that the fabric is fully beaten, improves the washing effect and improves the user experience by controlling the acceleration stage and deceleration stage in the beating program of the driving device.
[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the basic idea of the technical solution of the present application is:
[0009] A control method of clothes processing equipment, the clothes processing equipment has a driving device, comprising:
[0010] Monitoring that the driving device is in a working state;
[0011] Controlling the driving device to execute a beating program;
[0012] The tumbling program comprises at least an acceleration phase and a deceleration phase.
[0013] Further, the acceleration phase is a process of accelerating the rotation of the drum to lift the fabric in the drum to a certain height.
[0014] The deceleration phase is a process of decelerating the rotation of the drum after the fabric in the drum reaches a certain height to make the fabric fall.
[0015] Further, in response to a washing instruction executed by the laundry treatment apparatus;
[0016] The control of the driving device to execute the tumbling program comprises an iterative cycle phase of repeating the acceleration phase and the deceleration phase at least once.
[0017] Further, the driving device is controlled to accelerate the rotation of the drum to lift the fabric in the drum to a certain height with a set first operation parameter.
[0018] The driving device is controlled to decelerate the rotation of the drum to make the fabric fall with a set second operation parameter.
[0019] Preferably, the first operation parameter and the second operation parameter comprise at least acceleration and time.
[0020] Preferably, whether the driving device reaches a preset rotational speed or angle is judged to control the driving device to enter the acceleration phase or the deceleration phase.
[0021] Further, when the tumbling program is executed to a first preset time, the driving device is controlled to directly execute a tumbling program or to execute a tumbling program after waiting for a second preset time.
[0022] The tumbling program comprises reversing the driving device and executing the tumbling program again.
[0023] Further, a state real-time value of the driving device is obtained, and the driving device is controlled to execute the tumbling program according to a comparison result of the state real-time value and a preset value.
[0024] Preferably, the state real-time value comprises a rotational speed or angle of the driving device, and the preset value comprises a first target rotational speed or a first target angle.
[0025] According to a comparison result of the obtained rotational speed or angle of the driving device and the first target rotational speed or the first target angle, the rotational speed or angle of the driving device is controlled to be adjusted.
[0026] Further, when the driving device is in the acceleration phase and the rotational speed or angle of the driving device is increased to the first target rotational speed or the first target angle, the driving device is controlled to execute a deceleration operation.
[0027] Preferably, the fabric begins to descend just as the rotational speed or angle of the drive device approaches the first target rotational speed or the first target angle.
[0028] Furthermore, the preset value includes a second target rotational speed or a second target angle;
[0029] When the slamming process is in the deceleration phase, if the speed or angle of the drive device is detected to decrease to the second target speed or the second target angle, the drive device is controlled to perform an acceleration operation again.
[0030] Preferably, the fabric just detaches and falls when the rotational speed or angle of the drive device reaches the second target rotational speed or the second target angle.
[0031] Furthermore, the rotational speed or angle of the control drive device is increased again to the first target rotational speed or the first target angle.
[0032] According to another objective of the present invention, a garment processing apparatus is also provided, which applies the control method of the garment processing apparatus described above;
[0033] The garment processing equipment has a drive unit, which has a direct drive motor.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0035] In this invention, by controlling the acceleration phase, deceleration phase, and repeated cycle phase in the tumbling program of the drive device, the fabric inside the drum is rapidly lifted to a high position and collides with the drum wall by centrifugal force, and the clothes are allowed to fall freely by gravity, generating stronger collisions and friction. The repeated cycle ensures that the fabric is thoroughly tumbled, improving the washing effect and enhancing the user experience.
[0036] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description
[0037] The accompanying drawings, as part of this invention, are used to provide a further understanding of the invention.

[0043] It should be noted that these accompanying drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation
[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0045] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.
[0046] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, 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 or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0047] Current washing machines operate at the same speed and for the same duration in both forward and reverse rotation during normal washing. They use a constant rotation speed, with the clothes rotating at approximately 110 degrees. This prevents the clothes from falling at the highest point. If the rotation speed is increased, the clothes can fall at the highest point, but the horizontal speed will also be higher, preventing them from falling at the lowest point and thus failing to achieve the proper tumbling process from highest to lowest. This results in low washing efficiency and poor washing effect.
[0048] Example 1
[0049] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a control method for a garment processing device, the garment processing device having a drive device, including:
[0050] The drive unit was detected to be in operation.
[0051] The control drive unit executes the impact program;
[0052] The slamming process includes an acceleration phase, a deceleration phase, and a repetitive cycle phase.
[0053] In the above solution, the control method is for clothing handling equipment with a drive unit, such as a drum washing machine. The drive unit has a direct drive motor, which is connected to the drum of the clothing handling equipment. This method monitors the operating status of the drive unit and controls it to execute a tumbling program to improve the washing effect of the fabrics inside the drum, while ensuring the safe and stable operation of the equipment.
[0054] In this embodiment, when the user selects to start the washing program, the control system of the garment handling equipment first monitors whether the drive unit is in operation. This is typically achieved by detecting parameters such as the current, voltage, or rotational speed of the drive unit.
[0055] In this embodiment, when the drive unit is in operation, the control system controls it to execute a tumbling program. The tumbling program is the core of this embodiment, and its goal is to improve the washing efficiency by adjusting the real-time state values of the drive unit to create a highly efficient tumbling effect on the clothes inside the drum.
[0056] In this embodiment, the slamming process includes an acceleration phase and a deceleration phase.
[0057] Specifically, the acceleration phase involves the control system controlling the drive device to drive the drum of the garment processing equipment to rotate rapidly at a high acceleration. During this process, the fabric inside the drum is lifted to a certain height and collides with the inner wall of the drum under the action of centrifugal force, thereby achieving a preliminary tumbling effect.
[0058] The deceleration phase occurs when the fabric reaches a certain height within the drum, specifically the highest point inside the drum. The control system then decelerates the drive unit, allowing the fabric to fall freely under gravity. During this process, stronger collisions and friction occur between the fabrics and between the fabric and the inner wall of the drum, further enhancing the cleaning effect.
[0059] Example 2
[0060] This embodiment is a further description of Embodiment 1 described above.
[0061] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the slamming procedure includes a repetitive cycle of the acceleration phase and the deceleration phase, which are repeated at least once.
[0062] Specifically, the repeated cycle phase is when, after the acceleration and deceleration phases are completed, the control system repeats the above process according to a preset number of cycles or a preset cycle time, thereby further improving the washing effect of the fabric and enhancing the user experience.
[0063] In this embodiment, the tumbling process is in a repeated loop phase, and the drive device is controlled to repeatedly perform acceleration and deceleration operations according to a preset number of loops or a preset loop time.
[0064] Specifically, if the current number of cycles or the current cycle time has not reached the preset number of cycles or the preset cycle time, the control system will control the drive device to perform acceleration and deceleration operations again to continue the tumbling program. This process will repeat continuously until the preset number of cycles or cycle time is reached. The garment processing equipment can precisely control the number of cycles or cycle time of the tumbling program to ensure that the clothes are fully tumbled under the action of centrifugal force, thereby improving the washing effect.
[0065] Furthermore, during the tumbling process, the control system can monitor the status of the drive unit and rollers in real time. If any abnormalities are detected, such as overload or overheating, the control system will immediately stop the tumbling process and issue a warning. Simultaneously, the control system also has self-diagnostic and repair functions, which can reduce the impact of equipment failures on users to a certain extent.
[0066] As described above, by monitoring the working status of the drive unit and executing the tumbling program, efficient and safe clothing treatment is achieved, improving the washing efficiency of clothes and enhancing the user experience.
[0067] Example 3
[0068] This embodiment is a further description of the above embodiments one and two.
[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the tumbling process is in the acceleration phase. The control drive device drives the roller to rotate at an accelerated speed with the first set operating parameters, lifting the fabric inside the roller to a certain height.
[0070] If the tumbling process is in the deceleration phase, the control drive device will use the set second operating parameters to drive the drum to rotate at a reduced speed until the clothes are tumbled off. This setup achieves effective lifting and tumbling of the fabric within the drum, improving the washing effect.
[0071] In one embodiment, the first and second operating parameters include at least acceleration and time.
[0072] Specifically, during the washing process, the control system first sets the first operating parameters as acceleration a1 and time t1, and controls the drive device to drive the drum to accelerate at acceleration a1 for time t1, so that the fabric inside the drum is lifted to a certain height. Subsequently, the control system sets the second operating parameters as acceleration a2 and time t2, and controls the drive device to drive the drum to decelerate at acceleration a2 for time t2, so that the fabric is dropped from the height.
[0073] In another embodiment, the first and second operating parameters include at least angular velocity and time.
[0074] Specifically, during the washing process, the control system first sets the first operating parameters to angular velocity ω1 and time t1, and controls the drive device to drive the drum to rotate at angular velocity ω1 for time t1, so that the fabric inside the drum is lifted to a certain height. Subsequently, the control system sets the second operating parameters to angular velocity ω2 and time t2, and controls the drive device to drive the drum to rotate at angular velocity ω2 for time t2, so that the fabric is dropped from the height.
[0075] Preferably, it is determined whether the drive device has reached a preset speed or angle, and the drive device is controlled to enter the acceleration phase or the deceleration phase.
[0076] Specifically, the control system monitors the speed or angle of the drive unit in real time, and determines whether the drum has reached the preset lifting height or has started to decelerate based on the preset speed or angle, ensuring that the drive unit operates according to the preset parameters and improving the stability and reliability of the system.
[0077] Example 4
[0078] This embodiment is a further description of embodiments one to three described above.
[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, when the tumbling process reaches the first preset time, the control drive device directly executes the flipping process.
[0080] Specifically, the first preset time can be considered as the cycle time in the impact program executed by the drive device. When the impact program reaches the first preset time, the control system will proceed to the next operation.
[0081] In another embodiment, when the impact procedure reaches a first preset time, the control drive device waits for a second preset time before performing subsequent operations. The second preset time can be considered as the pause time of the drive device.
[0082] Furthermore, the flipping procedure includes reversing the drive unit and re-executing the tumbling procedure.
[0083] Specifically, when the tumbling process reaches the first preset time, the control system will control the drive device to directly execute the flipping process. The flipping process includes reversing the drive device to change the rotation direction of the roller, thereby flipping the fabric.
[0084] After the flipping procedure is completed, the control system will control the drive device to execute the tumbling procedure again. This tumbling procedure is similar to the previous one, but because the position and state of the fabric have changed, a different tumbling effect can be produced.
[0085] As mentioned above, garment handling equipment can flexibly adjust the number of tumbling and tumbling cycles or the duration according to different washing programs or user needs. This control method ensures that garments are thoroughly tumbled and tumbled during the washing process, thereby increasing the number of collisions and frictions between fabrics and improving the washing effect. At the same time, by adjusting the timing and method of the tumbling program, the washing process can be further optimized, improving washing efficiency and washing quality.
[0086] In this embodiment, the tumbling and turning process effectively removes stains from the fabric surface and deeply cleans stubborn stains, thus reducing the need for soaking in water to increase the washing ratio, a process common in traditional washing methods. This washing method allows for immediate shut-off of the water inlet valve once the fabric has fully absorbed water after weighing, eliminating the need for repeated water replenishment. This operation not only simplifies the washing process but also enables low-water-level washing; experiments have shown that the water level can be reduced by more than 30%. This reduces water consumption and energy consumption during the washing process, improving washing efficiency and providing users with a more environmentally friendly, economical, and efficient washing experience.
[0087] Example 5
[0088] This embodiment is a further description of the above embodiments one to four.
[0089] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the real-time status value of the drive device is obtained, and the drive device is controlled to execute the tumbling program based on the comparison result between the real-time status value and the preset value.
[0090] Specifically, during the impact test, the control system acquires real-time status values of the drive unit, such as its rotational speed. Then, the control system compares these real-time values with preset values to determine whether the preset conditions for controlling the drive unit to execute the impact test are met.
[0091] In this embodiment, the real-time status value includes the rotational speed of the drive device, and the preset value includes a first target rotational speed.
[0092] Specifically, during operation, the garment processing equipment continuously monitors the rotational speed of the drive unit, i.e., its real-time status. This speed data is acquired in real-time by sensors and transmitted to the control system.
[0093] In this embodiment, the speed of the drive device is controlled and adjusted based on the comparison result between the obtained speed of the drive device and the first target speed.
[0094] Specifically, the control system compares the real-time rotational speed of the drive unit with a preset first target rotational speed. If the acquired rotational speed of the drive unit has not reached the first target speed, the system continues to control the drive unit to accelerate. If the acquired rotational speed of the drive unit has reached the first target speed, the system adjusts the rotational speed of the drive unit, such as controlling the drive unit to decelerate. By controlling the rotational speed of the drive unit, the system facilitates the tumbling process of the fabric and improves the tumbling efficiency.
[0095] In this embodiment, the slamming process is in the acceleration phase. When the rotation speed of the drive device is detected to increase to the first target rotation speed, the drive device is controlled to perform a deceleration operation.
[0096] Specifically, when the control system detects that the speed of the drive unit has increased to the preset first target speed, it determines that the fabric is approaching the highest point of the drum, that is, the fabric has just begun to descend. At this time, the control system will control the drive unit to perform a deceleration operation, allowing the fabric to fall freely under the action of gravity, giving it higher centrifugal force and support force. This results in stronger collisions and friction between the fabrics and between the fabric and the inner wall of the drum, improving the washing effect.
[0097] In this embodiment, the slamming process is in the deceleration phase. When the rotational speed or angle of the drive device is detected to decrease to the second target rotational speed, the drive device is controlled to perform an acceleration operation again.
[0098] Specifically, before initiating the slamming process, the control system presets two target speed values: a first target speed and a second target speed. The first target speed is the target speed during the acceleration phase of the slamming process, and the second target speed is the target speed during the deceleration phase. The first target speed is greater than the second target speed.
[0099] Once the drive unit reaches the first target speed, the control system begins the deceleration phase. During this phase, the control system gradually reduces the speed of the drive unit, allowing the fabric to fall freely under gravity, reducing the time the garment remains suspended in the air, and continuously monitors the speed of the drive unit until it decreases to the second target speed.
[0100] When the drive unit's rotational speed decreases to the second target speed, the control system determines that the fabric has just detached from the fall. At this point, to generate the tumbling effect again, the control system will control the drive unit to perform an acceleration operation again, causing the fabric to be thrown high again. The acceleration operation is similar to the acceleration phase described above, but the acceleration and rotational speed settings can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0101] Preferably, the rotational speed of the control drive is increased again to the first target rotational speed.
[0102] Specifically, when the speed of the drive device decreases to the second target speed, the control system will determine that the fabric has just detached from the fall. The control system will then control the drive device to perform an acceleration operation again until the speed of the drive device increases to the first target speed, so that the fabric is thrown to the highest point again, thereby improving the tumbling efficiency.
[0103] Furthermore, when the drive device performs the first acceleration operation, the drive device is controlled to increase to the first target speed according to the first preset acceleration.
[0104] Specifically, when the tumbling process is initiated, the control system first controls the drive unit to accelerate according to a first preset acceleration. This acceleration process continues until the drive unit's rotational speed reaches the first target rotational speed. During this process, the fabric is thrown to a high position on the drum under the action of centrifugal force and collides with the inner wall of the drum, achieving the initial tumbling effect.
[0105] Furthermore, when the drive device performs the second acceleration operation, the drive device is controlled to increase to the first target speed according to the second preset acceleration.
[0106] Specifically, once the drive unit reaches the first target speed, the control system will control the drive unit to decelerate to the second target speed, allowing the fabric to fall freely under gravity. After the first deceleration and tumbling operation, the control system will control the drive unit to accelerate again. However, this acceleration differs from the first; the control system will accelerate according to a second preset acceleration. This acceleration may differ from the first preset acceleration to produce different tumbling effects. The acceleration process will continue until the drive unit's speed reaches the first target speed again.
[0107] In this embodiment, the direction and magnitude of the acceleration can be adjusted according to actual needs, and the target rotational speed is a vector velocity, the direction of which is related to the position of the clothing.
[0108] Example 6
[0109] This embodiment is a further description of embodiments one through five described above.
[0110] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the real-time status value includes the angle of the driving device, and the preset value includes the first target angle.
[0111] Specifically, during operation, the garment processing equipment continuously monitors the angle of the drive unit, i.e., the real-time status value. The angle data is acquired in real time by sensors and transmitted to the control system.
[0112] In this embodiment, the angle of the driving device is controlled and adjusted based on the comparison result between the obtained angle of the driving device and the first target angle.
[0113] Specifically, the control system compares the real-time angle of the drive unit with a preset first target angle. If the acquired angle of the drive unit has not reached the first target angle, the system continues to control the drive unit to accelerate. If the acquired angle of the drive unit has reached the first target angle, the system adjusts the angle of the drive unit, such as controlling the drive unit to decelerate. By controlling the angle of the drive unit, the system can facilitate the tumbling process of the fabric and improve the tumbling efficiency.
[0114] In this embodiment, the slamming process is in the acceleration phase. When the angle of the drive device is detected to increase to the first target angle, the drive device is controlled to perform a deceleration operation.
[0115] Specifically, when the control system detects that the angle of the drive unit has increased to the preset first target angle, it determines that the fabric is approaching the highest point of the drum, that is, the fabric has just begun to descend. At this time, the control system will control the drive unit to perform a deceleration operation, allowing the fabric to fall freely under the action of gravity. This will generate stronger collisions and friction between the fabrics and between the fabrics and the inner wall of the drum, improving the washing effect.
[0116] In this embodiment, the slamming process is in the deceleration phase. When the angle of the drive device is detected or the angle decreases to the second target angle, the drive device is controlled to perform an acceleration operation again.
[0117] Specifically, before initiating the slamming process, the control system presets two target angle values: a first target angle and a second target angle. The first target angle is the target angle for the acceleration phase of the slamming process, and the second target angle is the target angle for the deceleration phase. The first target angle is greater than the second target angle.
[0118] Once the drive unit reaches the first target angle, the control system begins the deceleration phase. During this phase, the control system gradually reduces the angle of the drive unit, allowing the fabric to fall freely under gravity, and continuously monitors the angle of the drive unit until it decreases to the second target angle.
[0119] When the angle of the drive unit decreases to the second target angle, the control system determines that the fabric has just detached from the fall. At this point, in order to generate the tumbling effect again, the control system will control the drive unit to perform an acceleration operation again, causing the fabric to be thrown high again. The acceleration operation is similar to the acceleration phase described above, but the acceleration and angle settings can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0120] Preferably, the angle of the control drive device is increased again to the first target angle.
[0121] Specifically, when the angle of the drive device decreases to the second target angle, the control system will determine that the fabric has just detached from the fall. The control system will then control the drive device to perform an acceleration operation again until the angle of the drive device increases to the first target angle, so that the fabric is thrown to the highest point again, thereby improving the tumbling efficiency.
[0122] Furthermore, when the drive device performs the first acceleration operation, the control drive device increases to the first target angle according to the first preset angular acceleration.
[0123] Specifically, when the tumbling process is initiated, the control system first controls the drive device to accelerate according to a first preset angular acceleration. This acceleration process continues until the angle of the drive device reaches the first target angle. During this process, the fabric is thrown to a high position on the drum under the action of centrifugal force and collides with the inner wall of the drum, achieving the initial tumbling effect.
[0124] Furthermore, when the drive device performs the second acceleration operation, the control drive device increases to the first target angle according to the second preset angular acceleration.
[0125] Specifically, once the drive unit reaches the first target angle, the control system will control the drive unit to decelerate to the second target angle, allowing the fabric to fall freely under gravity. After the first deceleration and tumbling operation, the control system will control the drive unit to accelerate again. However, this acceleration differs from the first; the control system will accelerate according to a second preset angular acceleration. The second preset angular acceleration may differ from the first preset angular acceleration to produce different tumbling effects. The acceleration process will continue until the drive unit reaches the first target angle again.
[0126] Example 7
[0127] This embodiment is a further description of embodiments one through six described above.
[0128] In this embodiment, a garment processing device is also provided, which applies the control method for the garment processing device described above.
[0129] In this embodiment, the garment processing equipment has a drive device, which can be a direct drive motor.
[0130] In this embodiment, the direct-drive motor drives the clothes inside the drum to rotate rapidly with a large acceleration or angular acceleration, throwing the clothes to the highest point of the drum. Then, the direct-drive motor brakes and decelerates, causing the clothes to fall from the highest point. This process is immediately followed by another acceleration, throwing, and braking deceleration, achieving continuous and rapid tumbling of the clothes inside the drum.
[0131] By adjusting the parameters and running time of the direct-drive motor, the height and number of tumbling cycles of the clothes are increased, ensuring that the clothes are thoroughly tumbled and tumbled inside the drum. This cyclical motion not only enhances the mechanical friction between the loads but also significantly improves the washing effect. The entire washing process is efficient and energy-saving, providing users with a superior washing experience.
