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] Existing garment care devices typically involve placing wet clothes into the drying chamber and drying them by blowing hot air onto the clothes. However, during the drying process, most of the moisture in the wet clothes tends to accumulate at the bottom due to gravity. After a while, the upper and middle parts of the clothes are dry, while the bottom remains wet. This results in poor drying uniformity and can easily cause localized over-drying of the clothes, leading to noticeable wrinkles or even damage, severely impacting the user experience.

[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 problems, namely, to solve the problems of local over-drying in existing garment care equipment, which leads to obvious wrinkles and poor drying uniformity in garments.

[0020] S400: Obtain the humidity value of the clothing;

[0021] S500: Compare the humidity value with a first preset humidity value;

[0022] S600: If the humidity value is less than the first preset humidity value, then proceed to the drying stage;

[0023] S700: If the humidity value is not less than the first preset humidity value, then repeat steps S200 and S300.

[0024] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the time for the first execution of the first mode is T1, the time for each subsequent execution of the first mode is T3, and the time for each execution of the second mode is T2.

[0025] Where T3 = K2 × (1 - W2 ÷ W0);

[0026] Wherein, K2 is a constant, W0 is the initial weight of the clothing, and W2 is the weight of the clothing when the first mode begins to run repeatedly.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the air outlet component is movable relative to the clothes hanging component in a horizontal direction. Before executing step S200, the control method further includes:

[0028] S110: Obtain the initial weight W0 of the clothing;

[0029] S120: Determine the specific value of the horizontal distance L1 based on W0;

[0030] S130: Move the air outlet component to a horizontal distance L1 from the clothing.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the air outlet component has a plurality of air outlets arranged vertically, and during the execution of the second mode, the control method further includes:

[0032] The multiple air outlets are arranged to circulate air in a sequential manner from bottom to top.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the control method further includes:

[0034] S800: When the humidity of the clothing decreases to a second preset humidity value, the drying device stops operating.

[0035] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, when executing the first mode, the angle between the air outlet direction and the vertical direction is 90°.

[0036] When executing the second mode, the angle between the air outlet's air outlet direction and the vertical direction is between 30° and 60°.

[0037] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a garment care device, including a controller configured to perform the control method described above.

[0038] 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, a drying unit, an air outlet component installed in the drying chamber, and a garment hanging component. The air outlet component has an air outlet, and the angle of the air outlet is adjustable. The air outlet is connected to the drying unit, and the drying unit can deliver hot air to the garments on the garment hanging component through the air outlet. The drying process of the garment care device includes a drying stage and a draining stage, with the draining stage preceding the drying stage. The draining stage includes a first mode and a second mode. The control method includes: S200: executing the first mode; S300: after the first mode ends, executing the second mode; wherein, when executing the first mode, the heating component of the drying unit is operated, and the fan of the drying unit rotates at its maximum speed; when executing the second mode, the heating component and the fan are operated, and the air outlet blows air obliquely upwards. By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can prevent wrinkles in garments and improve the uniformity of garment drying. Specifically, in the first mode, the heating component of the drying unit operates at full power, and the fan operates at its maximum speed, forming a powerful hot airflow. This combination rapidly increases the temperature inside the drying chamber and accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the surface and interior of the clothing, laying a solid foundation for subsequent deep drying. In the second mode, while the heating elements and fan continue to operate, the air outlet angle is adjusted to blow upwards at an angle. This utilizes the rising principle of hot air, allowing it to penetrate the clothing more effectively and promote upward evaporation of moisture from within. Simultaneously, it prevents moisture from naturally sagging and accumulating at the bottom of the clothing due to gravity. Therefore, through the precise humidity control of the second mode, the clothing maintains a more even humidity distribution during the drying process. This not only reduces wrinkles but also improves the uniformity of drying, resulting in smoother and softer clothes after drying.

[0039] Furthermore, in this invention, the step of "executing the second mode" specifically includes: S310: obtaining the weight W1 of the garment at the end of the first mode; S320: obtaining the area S of the garment; S330: obtaining the fan speed N based on W1 and S; S340: rotating the fan at speed N; wherein, N is positively correlated with W1 and negatively correlated with S. By automatically adjusting the fan speed according to the actual weight and area of ​​the garment, this invention ensures that the airflow intensity on the garment is moderate during the execution of the second mode, avoiding the problem of excessive airflow, making the draining process more precise and efficient. By optimizing the fan speed and combining it with the strategy of oblique upward airflow, the uniformity of garment drying can be further improved, reducing wrinkles and uneven humidity.

[0040] Furthermore, after executing step S300, the control method of the present invention further includes: S400: acquiring the humidity value of the clothing; S500: comparing the humidity value with a first preset humidity value; S600: if the humidity value is less than the first preset humidity value, then entering the drying stage; S700: if the humidity value is not less than the first preset humidity value, then repeating steps S200 and S300. If the humidity value is less than the first preset humidity value, then entering the drying stage. If the humidity value of the clothing is lower than the first preset humidity value, it means that the clothing is dry enough and can enter the drying stage for further drying treatment; if the humidity value is not less than the first preset humidity value, it means that the clothing still needs further dehumidification, then the first mode and the second mode of the draining stage (i.e., steps S200 and S300) are executed again. This method ensures that the clothing reaches a sufficient degree of dryness before entering the drying stage, avoiding various problems caused by uneven humidity, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of drying.

[0052] 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 equally applicable to other products that need to solve the problems of obvious wrinkles and poor drying uniformity in garments caused by localized over-drying.

[0053] 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.

[0054] As noted in the background section, existing garment care equipment suffers from problems such as localized over-drying, leading to noticeable wrinkles and poor drying uniformity. This invention provides a control method and garment care equipment for this purpose. By controlling the air outlet to blow hot air obliquely upwards during the draining stage, the hot air is directed upwards to "reverse drain" the garments, preventing moisture from naturally dripping and accumulating at the bottom of the garments due to gravity. This improves the uniformity of moisture content and effectively solves the problems of localized over-drying leading to noticeable wrinkles and poor drying uniformity in garment care equipment.

[0055] First refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in, Figure 1 This is a front view of the garment care device of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a side view of the garment care device of the present invention.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a garment care device, including a drying chamber 1, a drying device 2, an air outlet component 3 and a garment hanging component 4 installed in the drying chamber 1. The air outlet component 3 has an air outlet 31, and the angle of the air outlet 31 is adjustable. The air outlet 31 is connected to the drying device 2, and the drying device 2 can deliver hot air to the garments on the garment hanging component 4 through the air outlet 31.

[0057] 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. When clothes need to be dried, they are hung on the hanging component 4 in the drying chamber 1. By activating the drying device 2, the hot air generated by the drying device 2 is blown onto the surface of the clothes through the air outlet 31 on the air outlet component 3, evaporating and removing the moisture from the clothes, thus drying them. Because the angle of the air outlet 31 in this invention is adjustable, it gives the garment care equipment greater flexibility and adaptability. The angle and air speed of the air outlet 31 can be adjusted according to different materials and weights of clothing to achieve the best drying and draining effect, meeting the drying needs of different care procedures.

[0058] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drying device of 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 outlet 31. The hot air flows in the drying chamber 1, making full contact with the clothes. The moisture on the clothes is evaporated by utilizing the principle of temperature difference and air flow. As the hot air continues to circulate, the clothes are gradually dried.

[0059] 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.

[0060] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also provides a control method for a garment care device. The drying process of the garment care device includes a drying stage and a draining stage, wherein the draining stage is located before the drying stage, and the draining stage includes a first mode and a second mode. The control method includes:

[0061] S200: Execute first mode;

[0062] S300: After the first mode ends, the second mode will be executed;

[0063] In the first mode, the heating element 21 of the drying device 2 is operated and the fan 22 of the drying device 2 is rotated at the maximum speed. In the second mode, the heating element 21 and the fan 22 are operated and the air outlet 31 blows air upward at an angle.

[0064] This invention clearly divides the drying process into a draining stage and a drying stage, and the draining stage is further subdivided into a first mode and a second mode. This staged processing method allows each stage to be optimized for different conditions of the clothes, thereby improving the overall drying effect.

[0065] In the first mode, the heating element 21 of the drying device 2 operates at full power, while the fan 22 runs at maximum speed, generating a powerful hot airflow. This combination rapidly increases the temperature inside the drying chamber 1 and accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the surface and interior of the clothes, laying a good foundation for subsequent drying stages. In the second mode, although the heating element 21 and fan 22 continue to operate, the angle of the air outlet 31 is adjusted to blow air upwards at an angle. This utilizes the upward blowing of hot air to create a reverse force, allowing the hot air to penetrate the clothes more effectively. This promotes the upward evaporation of moisture from inside the clothes, achieving reverse drainage and preventing moisture from naturally sagging and accumulating at the bottom of the clothes due to gravity. This effectively prevents wrinkles caused by uneven humidity. Therefore, through precise humidity control in the second mode, clothes maintain a more uniform humidity distribution during the drying process, reducing wrinkles and improving drying uniformity, resulting in smoother and softer clothes after drying.

[0066] Preferably, when executing the first mode, the angle between the air outlet 31 and the vertical direction is 90°; when executing the second mode, the angle between the air outlet 31 and the vertical direction is between 30° and 60°.

[0067] In the first mode, the air outlet 31 is adjusted to form a 90° angle with the vertical, making the airflow approximately horizontal. Horizontal airflow helps create a uniform airflow on the surface of the clothing, promoting rapid evaporation of moisture. This is highly effective for initially removing large amounts of moisture from clothing. In the second mode, the angle between the air outlet and the vertical is between 30° and 60°. This increases air penetration, allowing hot air to penetrate deeper into the fabric fibers. This effectively slows down the rate at which moisture flows from the inside of the garment to the bottom, improving the overall uniformity of humidity and preventing wrinkles. Furthermore, the angled airflow helps direct airflow to different parts of the garment, especially areas that are difficult to directly access the horizontal airflow, improving drying uniformity and reducing drying dead zones.

[0068] Preferably, the steps of "executing the second mode" specifically include:

[0069] S310: Obtain the weight W1 of the clothing at the end of the first mode;

[0070] S320: Obtain the area S of the clothing;

[0071] S330: Obtain the rotational speed N of fan 22 based on W1 and S;

[0072] S340: Make the fan 22 rotate at speed N;

[0073] Among them, N is positively related to W1, and N is negatively related to S.

[0074] Obtaining the weight W1 of the garment at the end of the first mode allows us to understand the actual weight of the garment after initial moisture removal, which is crucial for determining the intensity and method of subsequent hot air treatment. For example, the present invention includes a gravity sensor 41 (e.g., ...) on the garment hanging component 4. Figure 1 As shown), this allows for convenient real-time acquisition of the garment's weight. Furthermore, the area S of the garment is also acquired. The size of the garment's area directly affects the effect of the airflow on the garment; large areas of garment require a more uniform airflow distribution, while small areas are more easily affected by the airflow. Therefore, when determining the rotational speed N of the fan 22, the area S of the garment needs to be considered. For example, the drying chamber 1 in this invention is equipped with multiple cameras 11 (such as...). Figure 1 As shown, multiple cameras 11 are positioned at different locations in the drying chamber 1, allowing for the capture of images of the clothing from multiple angles, thereby accurately obtaining the area S of the clothing. Then, based on W1 and S, the rotational speed N of the fan 22 is obtained. The optimal rotational speed N can be calculated, and the rotational speed of the fan 22 is adjusted to ensure that it rotates at speed N. This creates a stable air pressure distribution on the surface of the clothing, ensuring that during the reverse draining process, the hot air effectively removes moisture from the inside of the clothing without blowing the clothing up or causing other adverse effects.

[0075] It should be noted that the heavier the clothing (the larger W1), the greater the required air pressure, therefore the speed N of the fan 22 should be increased accordingly; while the larger the area of ​​the clothing (the larger S), the speed N of the fan 22 needs to be appropriately reduced to ensure the uniformity of airflow, so as to avoid excessively strong local winds that could deform or blow the clothing away. Thus, in this invention, N is positively related to W1, and N is negatively related to S.

[0076] Furthermore, steps S310 and S320 can be executed simultaneously, or S310 can be executed first and then S320, or S320 can be executed first and then S310. 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.

[0077] Preferably, the step of "obtaining the rotational speed N of the fan 22 based on W1 and S" specifically includes:

[0078] N = K1 × W1 ÷ S;

[0079] Where K1 is a constant.

[0080] This calculation formula allows for the determination of the optimal rotational speed of the fan 22. Since the fan 22 rotational speed is inversely proportional to the area of ​​the clothing, a larger area of ​​clothing will result in a lower fan 22 rotational speed, thus reducing the risk of the clothing being blown up by excessive air pressure. Simultaneously, because the fan 22 rotational speed is directly proportional to the weight of the clothing, heavier clothing will receive stronger air pressure, thereby accelerating moisture evaporation and improving drying efficiency. For example, in this invention, the value of K1 is 0.7 to 0.9, resulting in a more optimal fan 22 rotational speed N that is less likely to blow the clothing up. Of course, in other embodiments, K1 can also be other values ​​such as 0.5 or 0.6; this invention does not specifically limit the value of K1.

[0081] Preferably, the air outlet component 3 has multiple air outlets 31 arranged vertically (e.g., ...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown), during the execution of the second mode, the control method also includes:

[0082] The multiple air outlets 31 are arranged to circulate air in a bottom-up order.

[0083] Due to gravity, the moisture in the clothes will gradually migrate downwards from the top. By controlling multiple air outlets 31 to circulate air in sequence from bottom to top, hot air can be blown onto the clothes from bottom to top, which can slow down the rate at which the moisture in the clothes flows downwards, prevent moisture from accumulating at the bottom of the clothes, improve the uniformity of the overall humidity of the clothes, thereby improving the smoothness of the clothes after draining and enhancing the wrinkle removal effect.

[0084] For example, the present invention controls multiple air outlets 31 to circulate air in a bottom-up order for a time interval of 2s to 4s. Further, the time interval for multiple air outlets 31 to circulate air in a bottom-up order can also be other values, such as 5, 6, etc. The specific time interval can be set according to the actual situation, and the present invention does not make a specific limitation in this regard.

[0085] Preferably, after step S300, the control method further includes:

[0086] S400: Obtain the humidity value of the clothing;

[0087] S500: Compare the humidity value with the first preset humidity value;

[0088] S600: If the humidity value is less than the first preset humidity value, then proceed to the drying stage;

[0089] S700: If the humidity value is not less than the first preset humidity value, then repeat steps S200 and S300.

[0090] This invention utilizes a temperature and humidity sensor 12 (e.g., installed in the drying chamber 1) Figure 1 The device (shown) can monitor the temperature in the drying chamber 1 in real time. Through the temperature and humidity sensor 12, it acquires the current humidity value of the clothes in real time. This value reflects the amount of remaining moisture in the clothes and is an important basis for determining whether the clothes are ready to enter the drying stage. The detected humidity value is compared with a first preset humidity value to determine whether the clothes have achieved sufficient drainage. If the humidity value is less than the first preset humidity value, it means the clothes are relatively dry and can enter the drying stage. At this time, the drying device 2 will dry the clothes according to the preset program. If the humidity value is not less than the first preset humidity value, it means the clothes need further drainage. The first mode (S200) and the second mode (S300) are repeated until the humidity value of the clothes drops below the first preset humidity value. By detecting and comparing humidity, it can be ensured that the clothes have achieved sufficient drainage before entering the drying stage, thereby improving drying efficiency and drying quality.

[0091] Preferably, the time for the first execution of the first mode is T1, and the time for each subsequent execution of the first mode is T3, and the time for each execution of the second mode is T2.

[0092] Where T3 = K2 × (1 - W2 ÷ W0);

[0093] Where K2 is a constant, W0 is the initial weight of the clothing, and W2 is the weight of the clothing when the first mode starts running repeatedly.

[0094] T1 is the time for the garment care device to first execute the first mode. For example, in this invention, T1 is a preset value, specifically 2 to 4 minutes. Thus, by executing the first mode for the first time, most of the moisture on the surface of the garment can be quickly removed, preparing it for the subsequent draining stage. Of course, in other embodiments, T1 can also be 1.5 minutes, 5 minutes, etc. T1 can be determined according to the design of the device and the user's needs; this invention does not limit the specific value of T1. As the garment gradually dries, its weight gradually decreases. Using the ratio factor "1 - W2 ÷ W0", the relative reduction in the current weight of the garment compared to its initial weight can be obtained, thereby dynamically adjusting the execution time of the first mode. The closer the garment is to dry, the smaller the value of T3 will be, because at this point, very little moisture needs to be removed, and a longer draining time is not required. By dynamically adjusting the execution time of the first mode, it is possible to ensure that the garment receives optimal treatment at different drying stages, thereby improving overall drying efficiency and avoiding damage to the garment caused by prolonged high-temperature and high-airflow treatment.

[0095] T2 is the time for each execution of the second mode. For example, in this invention, T2 is a preset value, specifically 15s to 20s, so that moisture inside the clothing can be further removed through reverse draining. Of course, in other embodiments, T2 can also be other times such as 10s or 30s. T2 can be determined according to the design of the device and the user's needs. This invention does not limit the specific value of T2.

[0096] Preferably, the air outlet component 3 is movable relative to the clothes hanging component 4 in a horizontal direction. Before executing step S200, the control method further includes:

[0097] S110: Obtain the initial weight W0 of the clothing;

[0098] S120: Determine the specific value of the horizontal distance L1 based on W0;

[0099] S130: Move the air outlet component 3 to a horizontal distance of L1 from the clothing.

[0100] Since different types of clothes need to be dried have different water absorption rates, the initial weight W0 of the clothes hooked on the hanging component 4 also varies. Based on the initial weight W0 of the clothes, the horizontal distance L1 between the air outlet component 3 and the clothes is determined. This allows the horizontal distance between the air outlet 31 and the clothes to be adjusted according to different types of clothes, so that hot air can evenly and efficiently cover the entire surface of the clothes, reducing local overheating or undercooling, thereby improving the uniformity of drying. Uniform drying can reduce damage and deformation of clothes caused by local overheating, protecting the texture and color of the clothes. In addition, a suitable air outlet distance helps hot air to be transferred to the surface of the clothes more effectively, accelerating the evaporation of moisture, thereby shortening the drying time and improving the drying efficiency.

[0101] Exemplarily, the horizontal distance L1 in this invention is mapped to the initial weight W0 of the clothing. For example, when 0 < W0 ≤ 500g, L1 = 5cm; when 500 < W0 ≤ 1000g, L1 = 8cm; when 1000 < W0 ≤ 1500g, L1 = 10cm; when 1500 < W0 ≤ 2000g, L1 = 13cm; and when 2000 < W0, L1 = 15cm. Of course, in other embodiments, the mapping relationship between the horizontal distance L1 and the initial weight W0 of the clothing can also be other corresponding relationships, which can be determined according to the specific experiment, and this invention does not limit it here.

[0102] Preferably, the control method further includes:

[0103] S800: When the humidity of the clothes drops to the second preset humidity value, the drying device 2 stops operating.

[0104] For example, in this invention, when the temperature and humidity sensor 12 detects that the humidity inside the drying chamber 1 is below 30%, it controls the drying device 2 to stop. This allows the residual heat inside the drying chamber 1 to be used for further drying of the clothes, fully utilizing the heat generated by the drying device 2, saving energy, preventing over-drying, and improving the care effect on the clothes. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the preset humidity value can also be other values ​​such as 25%, 20%, or 15%, and this invention does not specifically limit this value.

[0105] In addition, the garment care device provided by the present invention also includes a controller 5, which is configured to perform the above-described control method.

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.
