Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of garment processing technology, specifically providing a control method for garment care equipment and garment care equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Garment care devices, also known as garment care cabinets or smart garment care machines, are modern household appliances designed to use advanced technology to maintain, remove wrinkles, sterilize, deodorize, and dry clothes, extending their lifespan and keeping them in optimal condition. With rising living standards and increasingly sophisticated consumer awareness, garment care devices are gradually becoming a part of people's lives.

[0003] With technological advancements, some existing garment care equipment can simultaneously dry and care for clothes, shoes, and other daily necessities, offering increasingly diverse functions. These garment care devices typically involve placing the garments or shoes to be cared for into the care chamber of a drying cabinet. A drying unit then supplies hot air into the chamber to dry the items. However, since the care chamber is a single large space, the hot air generated by the drying unit fills the entire cabinet when drying items of varying sizes. This results in slower heating and lower drying efficiency when caring for smaller items such as shoes and toys.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Wherein, when the first return air vent is opened, the space through which the hot air flows in the drying chamber is F1, and when the second return air vent is opened, the space through which the hot air flows in the drying chamber is F2, where F1 > F2.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively opening the first return air vent or the second return air vent according to F0" specifically includes:

[0012] Compare F0 with F2;

[0013] If F0≤F2, then open the second return air vent;

[0014] If F0 > F2, then the first return air vent will be opened.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, before executing step S400, the control method further includes:

[0016] S300: Obtain the drying parameters corresponding to F0;

[0017] The specific steps of “operating the drying device” include:

[0018] The drying device is operated according to the drying parameters.

[0019] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the air inlet is located at the bottom of the drying chamber, the first return air inlet is located at the top of the drying chamber, and the second return air inlet is located at the side of the drying chamber.

[0020] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, a first electric damper capable of controlling the opening and closing of the first return air inlet is provided at the first return air inlet, and a second electric damper capable of controlling the opening and closing of the second return air inlet is provided at the second return air inlet.

[0021] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the ratio of F2 to F1 is 0.2 to 0.4.

[0022] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "obtaining the drying parameters corresponding to F0" specifically includes:

[0023] Obtain the drying temperature corresponding to F0;

[0024] Obtain the wind speed corresponding to F0;

[0025] The step of “operating the drying device according to the drying parameters” specifically includes:

[0026] The heating element of the drying device heats the hot air to the drying temperature.

[0027] The fan of the drying device is made to rotate at the specified wind speed.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the control method further includes:

[0029] S500: Obtain the humidity inside the drying chamber;

[0030] S600: When the humidity in the drying chamber is lower than the set humidity, the drying device stops operating.

[0031] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the garment care equipment further includes a return air duct, and the first return air inlet and the second return air inlet are both connected to the air inlet of the drying device through the return air duct.

[0032] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a garment care device, the garment care device including a controller configured to perform the control method described above.

[0033] Those skilled in the art will understand that the technical solution of the present invention provides a control method for a garment care device. The garment care device includes a drying chamber and a drying unit. The drying unit is connected to the air inlet of the drying chamber and can deliver hot air to the items to be dried in the drying chamber through the air inlet. The drying chamber is provided with a first return air inlet and a second return air inlet spaced apart. Both the first and second return air inlets are connected to the air inlet of the drying unit. The control method includes: S100: obtaining the spatial range F0 of the items to be dried; S200: selectively opening the first return air inlet or the second return air inlet according to F0; S400: operating the drying unit; wherein, when the first return air inlet is open, the spatial range through which the hot air flows in the drying chamber is F1, and when the second return air inlet is open, the spatial range through which the hot air flows in the drying chamber is F2, where F1 > F2. By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can selectively control the spatial range through which the hot air flows in the drying chamber according to the size of the items to be dried, thereby adapting to drying needs of different sizes and shapes, improving drying efficiency, and reducing energy consumption. Specifically, based on the spatial range F0 of the items to be dried, the system intelligently determines and selects the most suitable return air vent opening scheme. If F0 is large, the first return air vent (corresponding to a larger hot air circulation space range F1) is opened to ensure that the hot air can fully cover and evenly act on the items, suitable for drying large items. If F0 is small, the second return air vent (corresponding to a smaller hot air circulation space range F2) is opened, suitable for drying small items, to reduce unnecessary energy consumption and improve drying efficiency. Thus, whether it's large clothing or small items, the optimal drying effect can be achieved by adjusting the hot air circulation path.

[0034] Furthermore, in this invention, the step of "selectively opening the first return air vent or the second return air vent according to F0" specifically includes: comparing F0 with F1 and F2; if F0 ≤ F2, then opening the second return air vent; if F0 > F2, then opening the first return air vent. This method enables the garment care equipment to more intelligently adapt to the drying needs of garments of different sizes and shapes, thereby achieving a highly efficient and energy-saving drying process.

[0035] Furthermore, before executing step S400, the control method of the present invention further includes: S300: acquiring drying parameters corresponding to F0; the step of "operating the drying device" specifically includes: operating the drying device according to the drying parameters. Through this method, the drying device can operate in the most suitable way for the items to be dried, enabling more precise control of the drying process, improving drying efficiency and effect, while protecting the items from damage.

[0045] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, although the following embodiments are described in conjunction with a garment care device, the control method and garment care device provided by the present invention are also applicable to other products that require solutions to low drying efficiency when drying items of different sizes.

[0046] It should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, for example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0047] As noted in the background section, existing garment care equipment suffers from low drying efficiency when drying items of varying sizes. This invention provides a control method and garment care equipment for such equipment, aiming to selectively control the spatial range of hot air flow within the drying chamber according to the size of the items to be dried, thereby effectively solving the problem of low drying efficiency when drying items of varying sizes.

[0048] First refer to Figure 1 ,in, Figure 1 This is a side view of the garment care device of the present invention.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a garment care device, which includes a drying chamber 1 and a drying device 2. The drying device 2 is connected to the air inlet 11 of the drying chamber 1. The drying device 2 can deliver hot air to the items to be dried in the drying chamber 1 through the air inlet 11. The drying chamber 1 is provided with a first return air inlet 12 and a second return air inlet 13 spaced apart. Both the first return air inlet 12 and the second return air inlet 13 are connected to the air inlet of the drying device 2.

[0050] The drying chamber 1 is the main space for placing items to be dried, including but not limited to drying, wrinkle removal, sterilization, and aromatherapy. The drying device 2 is the core component that generates hot air. Exemplarily, the drying device 2 in this invention includes a heating element 21 and a fan 22, both of which are installed at the bottom of the garment care equipment. After the drying device 2 is started, the heating element 21 begins to work, heating the air to a suitable temperature. Subsequently, the fan 22 blows hot air into the drying chamber 1 through the air inlet 11. The hot air flows within the drying chamber 1, making full contact with the items to be dried (clothes, shoes, toys, etc.). The moisture on the clothes is evaporated using the principle of temperature difference and air flow. As the hot air continues to circulate, the items to be dried are gradually dried.

[0051] It should be noted that the heating element 21 in this invention can be an electric heating wire, a heating element, a heat pump, etc. This invention does not limit the specific method of heating element 21.

[0052] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a control method for a garment care device, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the control method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0053] S100: Obtain the spatial range F0 of the items to be dried;

[0054] S200: Based on F0, selectively open the first return air vent 12 or the second return air vent 13;

[0055] S300: Obtain the drying parameters corresponding to F0;

[0056] S400: Start the drying unit 2;

[0057] When the first return air vent 12 is opened, the space through which the hot air flows in the drying chamber 1 is F1, and when the second return air vent 13 is opened, the space through which the hot air flows in the drying chamber 1 is F2, where F1 > F2.

[0058] Obtaining the spatial range F0 of the items to be dried is fundamental to the entire control process, helping the system understand the specific requirements of the current drying task (the size of the items). Based on the spatial range F0, the system intelligently determines and selects the most suitable return air vent opening scheme. If F0 is large, the first return air vent 12 (corresponding to a larger hot air circulation space range F1) is opened to ensure that the hot air can fully cover and evenly act on the items, suitable for drying large items; if F0 is small, the second return air vent 13 (corresponding to a smaller hot air circulation space range F2) is opened, suitable for drying small items, reducing unnecessary energy consumption and improving drying efficiency. After determining the hot air circulation path, the corresponding drying parameters are obtained based on F0, enabling the control method of the garment care equipment to more precisely control the drying process, improve drying efficiency and effect, and protect the items to be dried from damage. Further, in step S400, the drying device 2 is operated according to these parameters. After the drying device 2 is started, hot air is delivered into the drying chamber 1 through the air inlet 11 to begin the drying process. Due to the optimization of the hot air circulation path, the drying process will be more efficient and energy-saving. Therefore, the control method of the garment care equipment provided by this invention can adjust the hot air circulation range according to the actual size of the items to be dried, avoiding unnecessary heat waste and ensuring that the hot air can act more effectively on the items, thereby improving drying efficiency. This method can adapt to the drying needs of different sizes and shapes. Whether it is large garments or small items, the best drying effect can be achieved by adjusting the hot air circulation path, improving the ease of use and customer satisfaction of the garment care equipment.

[0059] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can cancel setting S300 in practical applications. In this case, the drying device 2 can operate according to the drying parameters set by the user.

[0060] For example, in order to accurately determine the space range F0 occupied by the items to be dried, the drying chamber 1 of the present invention is provided with a plurality of cameras 16, which are located at multiple positions in the drying chamber 1. Thus, the plurality of cameras 16 can take pictures of the items to be dried from different angles, thereby achieving accurate positioning of the items to be dried and accurate measurement of the space range F0 occupied by the items to be dried.

[0061] Preferably, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the control method of the present invention further includes:

[0062] S500: Obtains the humidity inside drying chamber 1;

[0063] S600: When the humidity in the drying chamber 1 is lower than the set humidity, the drying device 2 will stop operating.

[0064] By setting a target humidity value, the drying process is considered complete when the actual humidity inside drying chamber 1 falls below this set value. At this point, stopping the operation of drying device 2 avoids energy waste and over-drying of clothes. Real-time monitoring and control of the humidity inside drying chamber 1 ensures that clothes reach an ideal dry state while preventing potential damage from over-drying. Furthermore, timely shutdown of drying device 2 helps save energy and extend the equipment's lifespan.

[0065] For example, a temperature and humidity sensor 17 is installed in the drying chamber 1 of the present invention. The temperature and humidity sensor 17 can acquire humidity data in the drying chamber 1 in real time so as to determine whether drying is completed in a timely manner.

[0066] It should be noted that the humidity setting in this invention is 20% to 30%. When the humidity in the drying chamber 1 drops to 20% to 30%, the drying device 2 stops operating. This allows the residual heat in the drying chamber 1 to be used for further drying of the clothes, thus fully utilizing the heat generated by the drying device 2 and saving energy. Of course, in other embodiments, the humidity setting value can also be 10%, 15%, 35%, or other values; this invention does not impose specific limitations on these values.

[0067] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps of "selectively opening the first return air vent 12 or the second return air vent 13 according to F0" include:

[0068] Compare F0 with F2;

[0069] If F0≤F2, then open the second return air vent 13;

[0070] If F0 > F2, then open the first return air vent 12.

[0071] If F0≤F2, it means that the space of the item to be dried is small. Even if a small hot air circulation space F2 is used, it is enough to cover the entire item. Therefore, in order to save energy and improve drying efficiency, the second return air vent 13 is opened. If F0>F2, it means that the space of the item to be dried is large. A larger hot air circulation space is needed to ensure that the hot air can act evenly and fully on the item. Therefore, the first return air vent 12 is opened to utilize the larger space F1 for drying.

[0072] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the steps for "obtaining the drying parameters corresponding to F0" specifically include:

[0073] Obtain the drying temperature corresponding to F0;

[0074] Obtain the wind speed corresponding to F0;

[0075] The specific steps for "operating drying device 2 according to drying parameters" include:

[0076] The heating element 21 of the drying device 2 heats the hot air to the drying temperature;

[0077] The fan 22 of the drying device 2 rotates at the wind speed.

[0078] For example, in this invention, if F0 is 0.1 to 0.2 of the entire drying chamber 1 space, the fan 22 speed is set to 1500 rpm and the drying temperature to 50°C; if F0 is 0.2 to 0.3 of the entire drying chamber 1 space, the fan 22 speed is set to 1800 rpm and the drying temperature to 60°C; if F0 is 0.3 to 0.4 of the entire drying chamber 1 space, the fan 22 speed is set to 2000 rpm and the drying temperature to 70°C. Of course, in other embodiments, the fan speed and temperature can be set to other values ​​according to the specific space of F0. The specific values ​​can be determined based on actual products and experimental data. This invention does not specifically limit the specific values ​​of the fan speed and temperature.

[0079] After determining the drying temperature, the system controls the heating element 21 of the drying device 2 to start working, heating the air entering the drying chamber 1 to the preset drying temperature. After determining the airflow speed, the system controls the fan 22 of the drying device 2 to rotate at the preset airflow speed. The airflow generated by the fan 22 sends the heated air into the drying chamber 1, and forms a circulation through the first return air inlet 12 or the second return air inlet 13. This allows for more precise control of the drying process, improving drying efficiency and effectiveness, while reducing energy consumption and damage to the items.

[0080] Preferably, such as Figure 1As shown, the air inlet 11 is located at the bottom of the drying chamber 1, the first return air inlet 12 is located at the top of the drying chamber 1, and the second return air inlet 13 is located at the side of the drying chamber 1.

[0081] By placing the air inlet 11 at the bottom of the drying chamber 1, hot air can enter the drying chamber 1 from the bottom, forming a natural upward airflow in the drying chamber 1. This helps the hot air to penetrate and envelop the items to be dried more evenly, thereby improving drying efficiency. In addition, bottom air intake also helps to reduce the stratification of hot and cold air in the drying chamber 1, making the hot air distribution more uniform. Furthermore, bottom air intake can also help remove any moisture or odors that may exist in the drying chamber 1, carrying them out of the drying chamber 1 through the upward airflow.

[0082] The first return air vent 12 is located at the top of the drying chamber 1, forming a good hot air circulation path with the bottom air inlet 11, and making F1 the space of the entire drying chamber 1, suitable for drying large items. When hot air enters from the bottom and passes through the items to be dried, it rises and gathers at the top of the drying chamber 1, and then returns to the air inlet of the drying device 2 through the first return air vent 12 for reheating and circulation. This design ensures that the hot air can fully contact the items to be dried and effectively remove moisture and humidity from the items. At the same time, the top return air also helps to reduce the temperature gradient in the drying chamber 1 and maintain the temperature uniformity in the drying chamber 1.

[0083] The second return air vent 13 is located on the side of the drying chamber 1, providing another flexible circulation path for the drying process and allowing F2 to be a space range near the bottom of the drying chamber 1. When the items to be dried are small or the entire drying chamber 1 does not need to be dried, the second return air vent 13 on the side can be opened to reduce the space range of hot air circulation. This not only saves energy but also shortens the drying time and improves drying efficiency. In addition, the side return air also helps to form a transverse airflow within the drying chamber 1, further promoting the uniform distribution of hot air and the rapid removal of moisture.

[0084] Preferably, the ratio of F2 to F1 is 0.2 to 0.4.

[0085] Different sizes and shapes of items have different drying requirements. Smaller items may only require a smaller hot air circulation space to achieve the desired drying effect, while larger items require more space. Setting the F2 to F1 ratio in the range of 0.2 to 0.4 helps to select the appropriate drying mode according to the actual needs of the items, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0086] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the ratio of F2 to F1 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual size of the items to be dried. For example, the ratio of F2 to F1 can also be 0.1, 0.5, etc. The specific value of the ratio of F2 to F1 is not specifically limited in this invention, as long as it can meet the drying effect for items of different sizes.

[0087] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first electric damper 14 capable of controlling the opening and closing of the first return air inlet 12 is provided at the first return air inlet 12, and a second electric damper 15 capable of controlling the opening and closing of the second return air inlet 13 is provided at the second return air inlet 13.

[0088] The opening and closing of the first return air vent 12 is controlled by the first electric damper 14, thereby regulating the large-scale circulation of hot air within the drying chamber 1. When F0 > F2, the first electric damper 14 controls the first return air vent 12 to open; when F0 ≤ F2, the first electric damper 14 controls the first return air vent 12 to close. This ensures that hot air can smoothly circulate through the first return air vent 12 when needed, and can be quickly closed when not needed, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption. Similarly, the opening and closing of the second return air vent 13 is controlled by the second electric damper 15, thereby regulating the small-scale circulation of hot air within the drying chamber 1. When F0 ≤ F2, it indicates that the items to be dried are small; the second electric damper 15 controls the second return air vent 13 to open, reducing the spatial range of hot air circulation, thus saving energy and shortening drying time. Therefore, the installation of the first electric damper 14 and the second electric damper 15 enables intelligent control of the drying process. The system can automatically adjust the opening status of the return air vents and the hot air circulation path according to actual conditions, thereby optimizing the drying effect and reducing energy consumption. Users can choose to open one or two return air vents according to different drying needs to meet drying tasks of different sizes and shapes. By precisely controlling the opening and closing of the return air vents, ineffective hot air circulation and energy waste can be avoided. At the same time, a reasonable hot air circulation path also helps to improve drying efficiency and protect the items to be dried from damage.

[0089] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the garment care equipment also includes a return air duct 3, and the first return air inlet 12 and the second return air inlet 13 are both connected to the air inlet of the drying device 2 through the return air duct 3.

[0090] The return air duct 3 is responsible for guiding the air in the drying chamber 1, after heat exchange with the items, back to the air inlet of the drying device 2 to achieve hot air recycling. The first return air inlet 12 and the second return air inlet 13 are connected to the air inlet of the drying device 2 through the return air duct 3, which can reintroduce the hot air in the drying chamber 1 after passing through the clothes into the drying device 2 for heating and recirculation, which can significantly improve the efficiency of heat energy utilization. This hot air recycling reduces the dependence on fresh air from the outside and reduces the energy consumption required to heat fresh air. In addition, since the hot air is constantly circulating in the drying chamber 1 and the temperature is always maintained at a high level, it can accelerate the evaporation rate of moisture in the items to be dried, thereby shortening the drying time. It can also ensure uniform airflow in the drying chamber 1, so that all parts of the items to be dried can receive sufficient heat exchange, achieving a more uniform drying effect.

[0091] In addition, the present invention also provides a garment care device, which includes a controller 4 configured to perform the control method described above.

[0092] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
