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] Clothing care appliances, also known as garment care cabinets or smart garment care machines, are modern home appliances designed to use advanced technology to maintain, wrinkle-free, sterilize, deodorize, and dry clothes, extending their lifespan and keeping them in optimal condition. As technology advances, they become increasingly intelligent, and the functions of clothing care appliances are becoming more diverse. The realization of these functions relies on the display panel and controller on the washing machine.

[0003] In existing technology, the display panel and controller of washing machines are generally kept powered on when the machine is turned off and on, and the display panel and controller are constantly communicating. This results in the display panel and controller being in a working state and continuously consuming power, regardless of whether the clothing care equipment is turned on or off.

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

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, namely, to solve the problem of high power consumption in existing clothing care devices when they are turned off.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a control method for a garment care device, the garment care device including a power board, a main control board, a touch panel, and a display panel. The power board is configured to supply power to the main control board, the main control board supplies power to the touch panel via a first power supply line, the touch panel is configured to send power-on and power-off commands to the main control board, the main control board supplies power to the display panel via a second power supply line, the display panel is configured to display functional information and status information of the garment care device, a first backup power supply is connected to the first power supply line, and the first backup power supply is configured to supply power to the touch panel when the garment care device is powered off. The control method includes:

[0007] S100: When the main control board receives the power-off command sent by the touch panel, it controls the power board to supply power to the main control board at a power level lower than the first preset power.

[0008] S200: Control the first backup power supply to supply power to the touch panel.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the main control board is capable of charging the first backup power supply. Before executing step S200, the control method further includes:

[0010] Check if the first backup power supply has power;

[0011] If the detection result is "yes", then proceed to step S200;

[0012] If the detection result is "no", then the main control board is controlled to supply power to the touch panel and to charge the first backup power supply; when the power in the first backup power supply reaches the first preset power value, the main control board stops supplying power to the touch panel and stops charging the first backup power supply, and step S200 is executed.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, a second backup power supply is connected to the second power supply line. The second backup power supply is configured to supply power to the display panel when the garment care device is turned off. After step S100, the control method further includes:

[0014] S300: Control the second backup power supply to supply power to the display panel.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the main control board is capable of charging the second backup power supply. Before executing step S300, the control method further includes:

[0016] Check if the second backup power supply has power;

[0017] If the test result is "yes", then proceed to step S300;

[0018] If the detection result is "no", the main control board is controlled to charge the second backup power supply. When the power in the second backup power supply reaches the second preset power value, the main control board stops charging the second backup power supply and executes step S300.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the control method further includes:

[0020] S400: When the main control board receives the power-on command sent by the touch panel, it controls the power board to supply power to the main control board at a second preset power, wherein the second preset power is greater than the first preset power;

[0021] S500: The main control board supplies power to the display board;

[0022] S600: Power the main control board to the touch panel.

[0023] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, after executing step S400, the control method further includes:

[0024] S700: Control the main control board to charge the first backup power supply and the second backup power supply.

[0025] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, a power detection module is provided on the power supply board, and step S100 specifically includes:

[0026] After receiving the power-off command, the touchpad sends the trigger signal corresponding to the power-off command to the main control board;

[0027] The main control board controls the power supply power of the power board to gradually decrease;

[0028] When the power detection module detects that the power supply power of the power board has dropped to the power threshold, it controls the power detection module to send a shutdown signal to the main control board.

[0029] After receiving the power-off signal, the main control board stops supplying power to the display board and adjusts the power supply power of the power board to be between the first preset power and the power threshold.

[0030] Wherein, the first preset power is greater than the power threshold.

[0031] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the first preset power is 0.4W to 0.6W, and the power threshold is 0.1W to 0.2W.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the touch panel includes a touch panel and a touch chip. The touch panel is configured to receive the power-on command and the power-off command sent by the user. The touch chip is communicatively connected to the touch panel and the main control board. The touch chip is used to send trigger signals corresponding to the power-on command and the power-off command to the main control board.

[0033] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a garment care device, including a controller configured to perform the control method described above.

[0034] 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 power board, a main control board, a touch panel, and a display panel. The power board is configured to supply power to the main control board. The main control board supplies power to the touch panel through a first power supply line. The touch panel is configured to send power-on and power-off commands to the main control board. The main control board supplies power to the display panel through a second power supply line. The display panel is configured to display the functional and status information of the garment care device. A first backup power supply is connected to the first power supply line. The first backup power supply is configured to supply power to the touch panel when the garment care device is powered off. The control method includes: S100: When the main control board receives a power-off command sent by the touch panel, it controls the power board to supply power to the main control board at a power level lower than a first preset power; S200: It controls the first backup power supply to supply power to the touch panel. By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can reduce the power consumption of the garment care device in the power-off state, save energy, and at the same time maintain the requirement that the touch panel can still maintain certain functions after power-off. Specifically, after the touchpad sends a power-off command to the main control board, the main control board immediately performs a low-power mode switch. This involves controlling the power board to reduce the power supply to a level below a first preset power level, significantly reducing the device's energy consumption in the power-off state. Furthermore, by connecting a first backup power supply to the touchpad's first power supply line, the touchpad is ensured to still receive power even when the device is powered off (i.e., after the main control board receives the power-off command). Thus, even when the device is completely off, the user can still perform certain operations via the touchpad, such as waking up the device. Therefore, the clothing care device provided by this invention reduces energy consumption in the power-off state while ensuring the touchpad still receives power, thereby improving its response speed.

[0035] Furthermore, the main control board of the present invention can charge the first backup power supply. Before executing step S200, the control method further includes: detecting whether the first backup power supply has power; if the detection result is "yes", then executing step S200; if the detection result is "no", then controlling the main control board to supply power to the touch panel and controlling the main control board to charge the first backup power supply; when the power in the first backup power supply reaches a first preset power value, causing the main control board to stop supplying power to the touch panel and stop charging the first backup power supply, and executing step S200. Through this setting, the reliability and stability of the response speed of the touch panel of the garment care device in the off state can be improved, avoiding the problem of the touch panel not working due to insufficient power.

[0036] Furthermore, a second backup power supply is connected to the second power supply line of the present invention. The second backup power supply is configured to supply power to the display panel when the garment care device is turned off. After step S100, the control method further includes: S300: controlling the second backup power supply to supply power to the display panel. With power supplied by the second backup power supply, the display panel can still display certain information in the off state, improving the device's intelligence level and user-friendliness. Users can obtain some basic information, such as time display, or know whether the device is currently in standby, charging, or other states, without turning on the device.

[0037] Furthermore, the main control board of the present invention can charge the second backup power supply. Before executing step S300, the control method further includes: detecting whether the second backup power supply has power; if the detection result is "yes", then executing step S300; if the detection result is "no", then controlling the main control board to charge the second backup power supply; when the power in the second backup power supply reaches a second preset power value, causing the main control board to stop charging the second backup power supply, and executing step S300. By charging the second backup power supply through the main control board, it is ensured that the display board always has sufficient power support in the power-off state, avoiding information display interruption due to power depletion.

[0049] 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 need to address the problem of high power consumption in the off state.

[0050] 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.

[0051] As noted in the background section, existing garment care devices suffer from high power consumption when powered off. This invention provides a control method and garment care device for such devices, aiming to effectively solve the high power consumption problem when powered off by adding a backup power supply, enabling low-power power supply to the touchpad when the garment care device is powered off.

[0052] First refer to Figure 1 ,in, Figure 1 This is a circuit diagram of the garment care device of the present invention.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a garment care device, which includes a power board 1, a main control board 2, a touch panel 3, and a display panel 4. The power board 1 is configured to supply power to the main control board 2. The main control board 2 supplies power to the touch panel 3 through a first power supply line 5. The touch panel 3 is configured to send power-on and power-off commands to the main control board 2. The main control board 2 supplies power to the display panel 4 through a second power supply line 6. The display panel 4 is configured to display the functional information and status information of the garment care device. A first backup power supply 51 is connected to the first power supply line 5. The first backup power supply 51 is configured to supply power to the touch panel 3 when the garment care device is powered off.

[0054] The power board 1, as the energy supply center of the entire garment care device, is responsible for converting external power (such as household AC power) into stable DC power required by the internal components of the device. This conversion process ensures the stable operation of the internal circuitry of the garment care device and is the foundation for its normal operation. The main control board 2 is the "brain" of the garment care device, responsible for receiving signals from various components and processing these signals according to preset program logic, thereby controlling various functions of the device. In this invention, the main control board 2 not only supplies power to the touch panel 3 through the first power supply line 5, but also supplies power to the display panel 4 through the second power supply line 6. The touch panel 3 serves as the main interface for user interaction with the device, allowing users to send commands to the main control board 2 through touch operations. These commands include, but are not limited to, power-on and power-off commands, allowing users to control the device's start-up and shutdown through simple touch operations. The display panel 4 is used to display the functional and status information of the garment care device to the user. This information includes, but is not limited to, the device's current operating mode, remaining operating time, and fault prompts, helping users better understand the device's operating status and perform corresponding operations. Obtaining power from the main control board 2 through the second power supply line 6 enables the display panel 4 to continuously and stably display this information. In addition, to improve the reliability of the device and the user experience, the present invention connects a first backup power supply 51 to the first power supply line 5 of the touch panel 3. Thus, even when the garment care device is turned off, the touch panel 3 can still be powered by the backup power supply to maintain a certain level of responsiveness. Furthermore, the first backup power supply 51 can provide low-power power to the touch panel 3, effectively saving energy consumption.

[0055] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the touchpad 3 includes a touch panel 31 and a touch chip 32. The touch panel 31 is configured to receive power-on and power-off commands sent by the user. The touch chip 32 is communicatively connected to the touch panel 31 and the main control board 2. The touch chip 32 is used to send trigger signals corresponding to the power-on and power-off commands to the main control board 2.

[0056] Users send power-on or power-off commands by touching a specific area on the touch panel 31. After receiving the user's touch signal, the touch panel 31 converts it into an electrical signal and sends it to the touch chip 32. The touch chip 32 processes and identifies the received signal to determine the user's intention. When the touch chip 32 recognizes the user's command (such as power on or power off), it immediately generates a corresponding trigger signal and sends it to the main control board 2 via the communication connection. After receiving the trigger signal sent by the touch chip 32, the main control board 2 will perform the corresponding operation (such as starting or stopping the device) according to the signal content. This realizes the interaction between the user and the garment care device, which is convenient, fast, highly sensitive, and has a fast response speed.

[0057] 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 includes:

[0058] S100: When the main control board 2 receives the power off command sent by the touch panel 3, it controls the power supply board 1 to supply power to the main control board 2 at a power lower than the first preset power.

[0059] S200: Controls the first backup power supply 51 to supply power to the touchpad 3.

[0060] When a user sends a shutdown command via touchpad 3, the main control board 2 receives the command and immediately adjusts the power supply strategy of the power board 1. The power board 1 no longer supplies power at the full power required for normal device operation, but reduces it to a preset, lower power level, i.e., below the first preset power level. Reducing the power supply significantly reduces energy consumption during shutdown. After the device enters a low-power or standby state, the first backup power supply 51 supplies power to the touchpad 3. This step ensures that the touchpad 3 still maintains a certain level of responsiveness. The first backup power supply 51 takes over the power supply task of the touchpad 3, allowing it to still receive and process user commands even when the main device has reduced its power supply.

[0061] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, a second backup power supply 61 is connected to the second power supply line 6. The second backup power supply 61 is configured to supply power to the display panel 4 when the garment care equipment is turned off. After step S100, the control method further includes:

[0062] S300: Controls the second backup power supply 61 to supply power to the display panel 4.

[0063] Even when the garment care device is powered off, the display panel 4 can still be powered by the second backup power supply 61, maintaining a certain level of display capability. Users can still see some key information, such as the device's status, time, and remaining battery power, without needing to restart the device. This enhances the reliability of the garment care device. Specifically, in some cases, if the main power supply is suddenly interrupted, the information on the display panel 4 may disappear immediately. However, with the support of the second backup power supply 61, the display panel 4 can maintain its display for a period of time even if the main power supply is interrupted, thereby enhancing the device's reliability and stability. For users, being able to see some display information even after the device is powered off is convenient, helping to reduce user confusion about the device's status and improving the overall user experience.

[0064] It should be noted that the above steps S200 and S300 can be executed simultaneously, or S200 can be executed first and then S300, or S300 can be executed first and then S200. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should all be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0065] Preferably, the control method further includes:

[0066] S400: When the main control board 2 receives the power-on command sent by the touch panel 3, it controls the power supply board 1 to supply power to the main control board 2 with a second preset power, which is greater than the first preset power.

[0067] S500: Enables the main control board 2 to supply power to the display board 4;

[0068] S600: Enables the main control board 2 to supply power to the touchpad 3.

[0069] When the user sends a power-on command via touchpad 3, the main control board 2 receives this signal and immediately adjusts the power supply strategy of the power board 1. Unlike the low-power mode in the power-off state, the power board 1 now needs to supply power to the main control board 2 at a higher power, namely the second preset power, to ensure that the main control board 2 can operate normally and control the various functions of the device.

[0070] Preferably, the first preset power is 0.4W to 0.6W.

[0071] By setting the first preset power to 0.4W to 0.6W, not only can the basic functions that the device needs to maintain in the power-off state (such as keeping some circuits in a wake-up state or preparing to quickly respond to power-on commands) be maintained, but energy can also be saved and power consumption reduced.

[0072] It should be noted that the design of the second preset power should meet all energy consumption requirements of the equipment under normal operating conditions, ensuring that the equipment can operate stably and efficiently, including but not limited to the energy consumption requirements of various components such as heating, steam generation, fan operation, and motor drive. The second preset power should be determined according to the specific specifications and functional requirements of the equipment. Those skilled in the art know how to set the second preset power, which is existing technology. This invention does not specifically limit the size of the second preset power.

[0073] It should be noted that the above steps S500 and S600 can be executed simultaneously, or S500 can be executed first and then S600, or S600 can be executed first and then S500. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention, and should all be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0074] Preferably, the control method further includes:

[0075] S700: The main control board 2 charges the first backup power supply 51 and the second backup power supply 61.

[0076] After the device is powered on and running stably, the main control board 2 monitors the power status of the first backup power supply 51 and the second backup power supply 61. If the power level is found to be lower than a preset threshold, the main control board 2 will initiate a charging program to charge the two backup power supplies through the power board 1. It should be noted that the charging process is usually carried out under the main power supply of the device to ensure the stability and efficiency of charging. At the same time, the main control board 2 of this invention will also intelligently adjust the charging current and voltage according to the charging status of the first backup power supply 51 and the second backup power supply 61 and the operating requirements of the device to prevent safety issues such as overcharging and overheating. Through this step, the garment care device can provide necessary charging protection for the first backup power supply 51 and the second backup power supply 61 while ensuring normal operation. Therefore, even if the device is powered off or the main power supply is interrupted, the first backup power supply 51 and the second backup power supply 61 will still have enough power to support the basic functions of the touchpad 3 and the display panel 4, improving the overall reliability of the device and the user experience.

[0077] For example, when the main control board 2 detects that the first backup power supply 51 has a charge level below 10%, the main control board 2 initiates a charging program to charge the first backup power supply 51 through the power board 1. When the charge level of the first backup power supply 51 reaches 100%, charging of the first backup power supply 51 stops. Similarly, when the main control board 2 detects that the second backup power supply 61 has a charge level below 10%, the main control board 2 initiates a charging program to charge the second backup power supply 61 through the power board 1. When the charge level of the second backup power supply 61 reaches 100%, charging of the second backup power supply 61 stops. Of course, in other embodiments, the charging program can also be initiated when the first backup power supply 51 and the second backup power supply 61 have a charge level below 5%, 2%, etc. The present invention does not specifically limit the charging threshold of the first backup power supply 51 and the second backup power supply 61.

[0078] Preferably, the main control board 2 in this invention is capable of charging the first backup power supply 51. Before executing step S200, the control method further includes:

[0079] Check if the first backup power supply 51 has power;

[0080] If the detection result is "yes", then proceed to step S200;

[0081] If the detection result is "no", then control the main control board 2 to supply power to the touch panel 3 and control the main control board 2 to charge the first backup power supply 51; when the power in the first backup power supply 51 reaches the first preset power value, control the main control board 2 to stop supplying power to the touch panel 3 and to stop charging the first backup power supply 51, and execute step S200.

[0082] Before executing step S200, it is first checked whether the first backup power supply 51 has power. For example, in this invention, this step is implemented through the communication interface or voltage detection circuit between the main control board 2 and the first backup power supply 51. If the detection result is "yes", that is, the first backup power supply 51 has sufficient power, then step S200 is executed directly, controlling the first backup power supply 51 to supply power to the touch panel 3, and the main control board 2 enters a low-power mode. If the detection result is "no", that is, the first backup power supply 51 has insufficient power, the main control board 2 supplies power to the touch panel 3 to temporarily maintain the power of the touch panel 3. The power supply is adjusted to ensure that the touchpad 3 has a high response speed. At the same time, by adjusting the output of the power board 1, the main control board 2 acts as a charger to supply power to the first backup power supply 51 until its power is restored to a sufficient level. When the power in the first backup power supply 51 reaches the first preset power value, the main control board 2 stops supplying power to the touchpad 3 (because at this time the first backup power supply 51 is sufficient to support the operation of the touchpad 3) and stops charging the first backup power supply 51. Then, step S200 is executed again, that is, the first backup power supply 51 is controlled to supply power to the touchpad 3, and the main control board 2 enters a low power mode.

[0083] For example, the first preset power level in this invention is 100%, so that the first backup power supply 51 has sufficient power to supply power to the touchpad 3 for a long time. Of course, in other embodiments, the first preset power level can also be set to 80%, 90%, etc., thereby shortening the charging time of the first backup power supply 51 and enabling it to supply power to the touchpad 3 earlier.

[0084] Preferably, the main control board 2 of the present invention can also charge the second backup power supply 61. Before executing step S300, the control method further includes:

[0085] Check if the second backup power supply 61 has power;

[0086] If the test result is "yes", then proceed to step S300;

[0087] If the detection result is "no", the main control board 2 is controlled to charge the second backup power supply 61. When the power in the second backup power supply 61 reaches the second preset power value, the main control board 2 stops charging the second backup power supply 61 and executes step S300.

[0088] Before executing step S300, the main control board 2 first checks whether the second backup power supply 61 has power. If the detection result is "yes," meaning the second backup power supply 61 has sufficient power, then step S300 is executed directly, controlling the second backup power supply 61 to supply power to the display board 4, and the display board 4 displays relevant information in the off state. If the detection result is "no," meaning the second backup power supply 61 has insufficient power, the main control board 2 charges the second backup power supply 61 until its power is restored to a sufficient level. When the power in the second backup power supply 61 reaches the second preset power value, the main control board 2 stops charging the second backup power supply 61. At this time, step S300 is executed again, that is, the second backup power supply 61 supplies power to the display board 4. By charging the second backup power supply 61 through the main control board 2, it is ensured that the display board 4 always has sufficient power support in the off state, avoiding information display interruption due to power depletion. In addition, users do not need to worry about the display board 4 malfunctioning due to prolonged inactivity, because the system will automatically detect and charge, ensuring continuous information display.

[0089] For example, the second preset power level in this invention is 100%, so that the second backup power supply 61 has sufficient power to supply power to the display panel 4 for a long time. Of course, in other embodiments, the second preset power level can also be set to 80%, 90%, etc., thereby shortening the charging time of the second backup power supply 61 and enabling it to supply power to the display panel 4 earlier.

[0090] Preferably, the power board 1 is provided with a power detection module, and step S100 specifically includes:

[0091] After receiving the power-off command, the touchpad 3 sends the trigger signal corresponding to the power-off command to the main control board 2;

[0092] The main control board 2 controls the power supply of the power board 1 to gradually decrease;

[0093] When the power detection module detects that the power supply power of the power board 1 has dropped to the power threshold, it controls the power detection module to send a shutdown signal to the main control board 2.

[0094] After receiving the power-off signal, the main control board 2 stops supplying power to the display board 4 and adjusts the power supply power of the power board 1 to be between the first preset power and the power threshold.

[0095] Among them, the first preset power is greater than the power threshold.

[0096] The user sends a shutdown command via touchpad 3 (or other input devices, such as a remote control, buttons, etc.). Upon receiving the command, touchpad 3 generates a corresponding trigger signal, which is then sent to the device's main control board 2. Upon receiving the shutdown command, main control board 2 gradually reduces the power supply to power board 1, thereby reducing the impact on the device and ensuring that all components shut down in an orderly manner. A power detection module on power board 1 monitors its power supply in real time. When this power drops to a power threshold, the module detects this and sends a shutdown signal to main control board 2. This signal indicates that the device has entered a relatively safe state and can proceed with the shutdown operation, causing main control board 2 to stop supplying power to display board 4 and adjust the power supply to power board 1 to maintain it at a level between a first preset power and a power threshold. This allows for low-power charging of the first backup power supply 51 and the second backup power supply 61 when they are out of power, effectively saving energy.

[0097] Preferably, the power threshold is 0.1W to 0.2W.

[0098] The power threshold is set within the range of 0.1W to 0.2W, thereby reducing the power supply of power board 1 to a relatively safe level. At this point, the device can further perform a shutdown operation. Setting the power threshold at a low level helps reduce the energy consumption of the device during the shutdown process. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the power threshold can be flexibly adjusted according to actual product requirements. For example, the power threshold can also be 0.3W, 0.4W, etc. The specific size of the power threshold is not specifically limited in this invention.

[0099] Furthermore, the garment care device provided by the present invention also includes a controller configured to perform the above-described control method.

[0100] 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.
