[0002] Currently, fabric processing equipment with drying functions is widely used in home and commercial settings. Traditional equipment typically uses fixed drying parameters (such as temperature, rotation speed, and rotation-to-stop ratio) during the drying process, which cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the type and condition of the clothing load. This results in low drying efficiency, high energy consumption, and may even cause over-drying or incomplete drying of clothing.

[0003] Some existing technologies attempt to determine the load type by detecting changes in the weight of clothing and adjust parameters accordingly. However, due to the simplistic judgment logic and the failure to combine multi-dimensional data for comprehensive analysis, the accuracy of load identification is not high. During the drying process, the drying parameters cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the load characteristics and actual operating conditions, resulting in technical problems such as low drying efficiency, high energy consumption, and unstable drying effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0018] It should be understood that "multiple" as mentioned herein refers to two or more. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this document is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, to facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used in the embodiments of this application to distinguish identical or similar items with essentially the same function and effect. Those skilled in the art will understand that the terms "first," "second," etc., do not limit the quantity or execution order, and the terms "first," "second," etc., do not necessarily imply differentness. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0019] This embodiment provides a control method for a fabric processing device. The fabric processing device in this embodiment has at least a drying function and can be a standalone drying device or a combined washing and drying device. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The flowchart and control method include the following steps: S11. Before entering the drying process, the load type is initially determined to obtain the initial load type; S12. Enter the drying program and dry under the initial working conditions. S13. Obtain fabric parameters inside the fabric treatment cylinder, including at least one of fabric weight, fabric humidity and fabric temperature; S14. Determine the changes in fabric parameters within the preset detection cycle, and adjust the load type based on the changes in parameters; S15. Correct the current working conditions according to the corrected load type to obtain the corrected drying working conditions; S16. Continue the drying procedure according to the revised drying working conditions.

[0020] In this embodiment, before entering the drying process, the initial load type is determined. The initial load type can reflect at least one of the following: load absorbency, load amount, and load material. For example, the initial load type may be a thick cotton garment, or a lightweight synthetic fiber garment, or a blended fabric, to provide a basic reference for subsequent parameter adjustments.

[0021] In practical applications, at least one of the following methods can be used to determine the initial load type: Method 1: Determine based on the load type command entered by the user; Method 2: Detect fabric fiber characteristics using a material sensor inside the fabric processing tube, and combine this with a preset material feature library to determine the appropriate method. Method 3: Obtain fabric images using an image recognition device on the fabric processing cylinder, and determine the method by analyzing and recognizing the fabric images; Method 4: Based on the fabric processing program selected by the user, combined with the fabric weight change value and the eccentricity value, it is determined.

[0022] After entering the drying program, the drying process is first run under initial operating conditions. These initial operating conditions correspond to the operating conditions of the fabric treatment program selected by the user. Under these initial operating conditions, fabric parameters within the fabric treatment drum are acquired. These fabric parameters include at least one of the following: fabric weight, fabric humidity, and fabric temperature. The fabric temperature may be, for example, the fabric surface temperature.

[0023] For example, after the drying equipment is started, during the preset initial operation phase (such as the first 5 minutes), the total weight of the fabric is accurately measured by the built-in weight sensor, the moisture content changes of the fabric surface and interior are monitored in real time by the humidity sensor, and the actual temperature data of the fabric is collected by the temperature probe to ensure the accuracy and real-time nature of parameter acquisition.

[0024] Since different loads and materials affect fabric weight, temperature, and humidity during the drying process, the load type is adjusted based on the changes in fabric parameters within a preset detection cycle. For example, a detection cycle can be set to 30 seconds, and the trends in fabric weight, humidity, and temperature can be continuously recorded within each cycle.

[0025] After the load type is corrected, the system will adjust the operating conditions of the drying program based on the initial operating conditions. Drying conditions include drying parameters for the drying stage, specifically increasing or decreasing the drying temperature (e.g., wool fabrics need to be lowered to below 60°C to avoid shrinkage), adjusting the rotation strategy of the fabric handling drum, adjusting the fan speed to improve air circulation efficiency, or adjusting the power output of the heating elements. For drying equipment using water condensation, the amount of condensate can also be adjusted. Drying conditions also include the cooling method for the cooling stage, specifically air cooling, water cooling, or natural cooling.

[0026] This embodiment modifies the drying conditions according to the modified load type to ensure that the drying process is both efficient and does not damage the fabric, ultimately achieving the goal of accurately matching the optimal drying scheme according to different load types.

[0027] In one optional implementation, the fabric parameters include fabric weight, fabric humidity, and fabric temperature. The load type is adjusted based on changes in these parameters, including: first, determining the target fabric parameters based on the detection results of each fabric parameter and preset priority rules; and then adjusting the load type based on changes in the target fabric parameters.

[0028] In the preset priority rules, the priority of fabric humidity is > the priority of fabric temperature > the priority of fabric weight. The target fabric parameter is determined based on the detection of each fabric parameter and the preset priority rules, including: first, using fabric humidity as the target fabric parameter; if the fabric humidity data detection is invalid, using fabric temperature as the target fabric parameter; and if both fabric humidity and fabric temperature data detection are invalid, using fabric weight as the target fabric parameter.

[0029] Invalid fabric weight detection data may occur in the following situations, including but not limited to: When calculating fabric weight using motor load current, if the fabric material (such as low-friction synthetic fiber) or the airflow resistance inside the roller changes, the correlation between current and weight will be broken, resulting in invalid calculated data; When directly detecting fabric weight using a load cell, in high temperature and high humidity environments, the strain gauges and circuits of the load cell may age or short-circuit, causing the output signal to become distorted, which will result in invalid data detection.

[0030] Invalid fabric humidity detection data includes, but is not limited to, the following situations: Fabric lint or fibers adhere to the probe surface of the humidity sensor, preventing contact between the probe and the fabric (contact type) or hindering infrared / microwave penetration (non-contact type), resulting in a detected value lower than the actual moisture content. Once this error range is exceeded, the data is deemed invalid. Alternatively, thin fabrics may float under airflow, preventing the probe from contacting the fabric itself and only detecting airflow humidity, leading to invalid humidity detection. For thick fabrics (such as quilts), the surface may be dry but the inner layer may remain highly humid; single-point detection data cannot represent the overall moisture content, thus the humidity detection is deemed invalid.

[0031] Invalid fabric humidity detection data may occur in the following situations, including but not limited to: The hot air outlet of the dryer is directly opposite the temperature sensor probe, causing the probe temperature to be rapidly heated by the hot air, resulting in a disconnect between the probe temperature and the actual fabric temperature, leading to a "falsely high temperature." Once the temperature exceeds the normal drying temperature range for the fabric, the data is deemed invalid. Alternatively, for contact-type detection methods (thermocouples, thermistors), the high-temperature drying environment (typically >60℃) can cause the calibration parameters of thermistors and thermocouples to drift, breaking the linear relationship between the output signal and the true temperature. If a high-temperature compensation algorithm is not set, the data deviation will continue to widen, leading to invalid data detection.

[0032] This embodiment improves the reliability and fault tolerance of the detection logic by clearly defining the priority rules for parameter detection and avoiding program stagnation caused by a single detection failure.

[0033] In one optional implementation, the fabric parameter change includes the fabric parameter change rate, and the fabric parameter change rate has a first preset correspondence with the load type; in the first preset correspondence, the load type corresponding to the larger the rate range of fabric parameter change is is lighter or easier to dry; the load type is corrected according to the parameter change, including: taking the load type corresponding to the parameter change rate in the first preset correspondence as the corrected load type.

[0034] Specifically, the controller of the fabric processing equipment stores in advance the correspondence between the rate of change of fabric parameters and different load types, i.e., the first preset correspondence. In the first preset correspondence, the rate ranges with larger rates of change of fabric parameters tend to correspond to load types that exhibit lighter characteristics or are easier to dry.

[0035] Based on the aforementioned first preset correspondence, after determining the changes in fabric parameters, the corresponding fabric type can be determined, and the load type can be modified accordingly. Through this modification process, it can be ensured that the adjustment of the load type is more in line with actual needs, thereby improving the overall processing efficiency and effectiveness.

[0036] For different fabric parameters, multiple preset correspondences can be established. For example, for fabric weight, there is a preset correspondence between fabric weight change rate and fabric type; for fabric humidity, there is a preset correspondence between fabric humidity change rate and fabric type; and for fabric temperature, there is a preset correspondence between fabric temperature change rate and fabric type.

[0037] For example, in the first preset correspondence, if the weight or humidity decreases quickly, it is determined to be a light load or a quick-drying load; if the weight or humidity decreases slowly, it is a heavy load or a highly absorbent load; if the fabric temperature rises slowly, it is a heavy garment; if the fabric temperature rises quickly, it is a thin fabric.

[0038] In one optional implementation, the fabric parameter changes include the fabric parameter change rate, and the fabric parameter change rate has a second preset correspondence with the fabric's drying characteristics; in the second preset correspondence, the larger the rate range of fabric parameter change, the easier it is to dry; the load type is corrected according to the parameter changes, including: determining the actual drying characteristics of the fabric according to the second preset correspondence; iteratively calibrating the initial load type based on the actual drying characteristics to obtain a load type that matches the actual drying characteristics.

[0039] This embodiment derives actual drying characteristics by observing changes in fabric parameters during the drying process. For example, a slow decrease in humidity corresponds to thick, heavy fabrics that are difficult to dry, while a rapid decrease in humidity corresponds to thin, light fabrics that are easy to dry. Furthermore, during the drying process, the parameter changes are dynamically updated based on continuously monitored fabric parameters, and the load type is iteratively calibrated according to a second preset correspondence to ensure that the determined load type closely approximates the actual fabric type, thereby improving the accuracy of fabric type determination.

[0040] When the load type is a mixed load of multiple fabric types, the load type is corrected according to the parameter changes. This includes: first, determining the comprehensive drying characteristic parameters of the mixed load based on the parameter changes and a second preset correspondence; then, obtaining the corrected mixed load type from the comprehensive drying characteristic parameters; and finally, adjusting the initial drying conditions according to the corrected mixed load type.

[0041] In one alternative implementation, the drying process includes a drying stage, which includes a heating process to raise the temperature inside the fabric treatment drum to a target drying temperature, and a dehumidification process to dehumidify the fabric at the target drying temperature. Operating conditions include drying parameters for the drying stage; the operating conditions are adjusted according to the modified load type, including: When the corrected load type is Class I fabric, the drying parameters will be adjusted to increase the drying intensity based on the current drying parameters; and / or, When the corrected load type is Class II fabric, the drying parameters will be adjusted to reduce the drying intensity based on the current drying parameters. The first type of fabric is thicker and heavier than the second type of fabric.

[0042] Specifically, the drying process includes a drying stage, which is used to dehumidify the wet fabric, turning it into a dry fabric. For the drying stage, the drying conditions include drying parameters, which specifically include at least one of the following: fan speed, drying temperature, condensate flow rate, and the rotation rhythm of the fabric processing drum.

[0043] To further improve drying efficiency and quality, the system precisely adjusts the operating conditions based on the corrected load type. Specifically, when the corrected load type is identified as Category I fabric, the system adjusts the drying parameters to increase the drying intensity, ensuring thorough drying of heavy fabrics. Conversely, when the corrected load type is identified as Category II fabric, the system adjusts the drying parameters to decrease the drying intensity, preventing damage to lightweight or quick-drying fabrics due to overheating. Category I fabrics are heavier than Category II fabrics, thus requiring more heat and a longer drying time.

[0044] In one example, when the modified load type is a fabric with high drying difficulty, the adjustment to increase the drying intensity includes at least one of increasing the fan speed, increasing the drying temperature, increasing the condensate flow rate, and accelerating the rotation rhythm of the fabric handling drum; when the modified load type is a fabric with low drying difficulty, the adjustment to decrease the drying intensity includes at least one of decreasing the fan speed, decreasing the drying temperature, decreasing the condensate flow rate, and decreasing the rotation rhythm of the fabric handling drum.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the working conditions include drying parameters for each drying stage; the initial drying working conditions are modified according to the modified load type, including: classifying the modified load type into high-drying-difficulty fabrics and low-drying-difficulty fabrics based on drying difficulty; when the modified load type is a high-drying-difficulty fabric, adjusting the drying parameters towards increasing drying intensity based on the current drying parameters of the corresponding drying stage; and / or, when the modified load type is a low-drying-difficulty fabric, adjusting the drying parameters towards decreasing drying intensity based on the current drying parameters of the corresponding drying stage; high-drying-difficulty fabrics are thicker, more absorbent, or have poorer thermal conductivity than low-drying-difficulty fabrics.

[0046] In one alternative implementation, the drying process includes a cooling phase, and the operating conditions include the cooling method of the cooling phase; the operating conditions are adjusted according to the modified load type, including: When the corrected load type is Class I fabric, first use both the first and second cooling methods simultaneously for cooling, then use the first cooling method alone for cooling; and / or, When the corrected load type is the second type of fabric, the first cooling method is used to cool down the fabric alone, and then the third cooling method is used to cool down the fabric alone. The first type of fabric is thicker and heavier than the second type of fabric.

[0047] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one optional implementation of the embodiments of this application, the first cooling method is air cooling and the second cooling method is water cooling.

[0048] Specifically, the drying process also includes a cooling stage. This stage primarily involves cooling the fabric surface and the inside of the fabric processing drum after drying to prevent users from being burned by high temperatures when handling the fabric. The operating conditions of the cooling stage include the cooling method. To effectively ensure cooling efficiency and avoid unnecessary cooling energy consumption, the system will adjust the cooling method according to the corrected load type.

[0049] When the corrected load type is determined to be a Class I fabric, the system will prioritize a combined cooling approach using both the first and second cooling methods simultaneously to rapidly reduce the temperature inside the drum and on the fabric surface. Subsequently, after the temperature drops to a certain level, to reduce cooling energy consumption, the system will switch to a single cooling mode using only the first cooling method. Alternatively, in another scenario, when the corrected load type is determined to be a Class II fabric, the system will first activate the first cooling method for single cooling to improve cooling efficiency. Once the temperature drops to a certain level, it will then switch to a third cooling method for single natural cooling to reduce energy consumption.

[0050] The cooling methods include three types: the first, the second, and the third. The first and second methods both utilize a flowing medium for assisted cooling, but the flowing media differ significantly to meet different cooling needs; the flowing medium can be water or air. The third method eliminates the need for external media, relying entirely on natural conditions for cooling. Regarding fabric classification, the first type of fabric is thicker and heavier than the second type, therefore, its cooling strategy tends to rely more on a flowing medium to improve cooling efficiency.

[0051] In one alternative implementation, the first cooling method is air cooling, which uses forced airflow to remove heat; the second cooling method is water cooling, which utilizes the high specific heat capacity of water to efficiently absorb heat. The organic combination of these two cooling methods provides a strong guarantee for temperature control during the drying process.

[0052] In other possible implementations, the current operating conditions are modified based on the modified load type to obtain modified drying operating conditions, including matching a corresponding drying curve based on the modified load type. In subsequent drying processes, drying is performed according to the matched drying curve, thus reducing damage to the goods.

[0053] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 2The flowchart is used to initially determine the load type and obtain the initial load type, including the following steps: S21. Obtain the weight of the first fabric before washing and the weight of the second fabric after dehydration, and determine the weight change value of the first fabric weight and the second fabric weight. S22. Determine the eccentricity value of the fabric entering the pre-dehydration treatment drum; S23. Determine the initial load type based on the weight change value, eccentricity value, and preset washing and drying program.

[0054] Specifically, the control method in this embodiment is a washer-dryer integrated control method, that is, the washing program is executed before the drying program. Before the washer-dryer integrated program starts, the system obtains the first fabric weight m0 before washing through a weighing sensor. After the fabric has undergone dehydration, the second fabric weight m1 after dehydration is obtained again. Through these two weighings, the weight change value Δm = m1 - m0 between the first and second fabric weights is calculated. This change value reflects the water absorption strength of the fabric.

[0055] Then, determine the eccentricity of the fabric treatment drum before entering the dehydration stage. If the eccentricity is small, it indicates that the fabric inside the drum is relatively uniform, and the fabric load inside the drum is large or heavy; conversely, if the eccentricity is large, it indicates that the fabric distribution inside the drum is uneven, and the fabric load inside the drum is small or light.

[0056] Finally, by combining the weight change and eccentricity values ​​obtained in the above steps with the preset washing and drying program, a comprehensive analysis and calculation are performed to determine the initial load type. The preset washing and drying program is the one selected by the user. For example, if the weight change after dehydration is large and the user selects the "cotton drying" program, combined with a large eccentricity value, the system initially determines it to be a highly absorbent, small or small quantity of thick cotton loads, such as thick cotton clothing.

[0057] This embodiment provides an important reference for the subsequent drying process by determining the initial load type, ensuring that the drying effect reaches the optimal state.

[0058] In one alternative implementation, the initial load type is determined based on the weight change value, the eccentricity value, and the preset washing and drying program, including: first determining the fabric material based on the preset washing and drying program, determining the load absorbency intensity based on the weight change value, and determining the load level based on the eccentricity value; then matching the fabric material, the load absorbency intensity, and the load level to obtain the initial load type.

[0059] Specifically, the system determines the fabric material based on the user-selected fabric processing program. For example, if the program is "cotton drying," the fabric is determined to be cotton. Furthermore, the system analyzes weight changes to determine the absorbency of the load; by detecting eccentricity, it further determines the load level, i.e., the amount of load within the fabric processing drum. A larger weight change corresponds to stronger absorbency, and a larger eccentricity corresponds to a higher load level. Then, based on the determined absorbency and load level, and combined with the fabric material, the system intelligently determines the initial fabric type, providing a reference for adjusting subsequent drying conditions to ensure efficient drying and precise fabric care.

[0060] In other possible implementations, the preset washer-dryer programs can be enhanced with an AI algorithm module based on the existing control logic. By analyzing historical user washer-dryer data, the system automatically recommends the optimal program, reducing the need for manual selection. Simultaneously, multi-sensor fusion technology is introduced, integrating humidity sensors, ambient temperature and humidity sensors, and other sensors in addition to weight sensors. This comprehensive assessment of load type and environmental conditions enables more accurate load identification and parameter adjustment. The system can also combine cloud-based data to train models, continuously optimizing the recognition algorithm and improving adaptability and energy efficiency over long-term use.
