Technical Field

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

[0002] With the development of technology and the increasing demands of users, manufacturers are not only constantly enriching and improving the functions of garment care machines, but also paying more and more attention to the care effect of garment care machines.

[0003] For example, existing garment care machines have multiple functions such as sterilization, disinfection, wrinkle removal, odor removal, and drying, which greatly reduces the workload of users in the garment care process and improves care efficiency. In particular, the quick drying function greatly saves the time spent drying clothes.

[0004] However, the drying effect of existing garment care machines is still not ideal and there is room for improvement.

[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, namely, to solve the problem that the drying effect of existing garment care machines is not ideal.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a control method for a garment care machine, the garment care machine comprising: a care chamber having an air inlet and an air return outlet; a heating chamber having its two ends connected to the air inlet and the air return outlet respectively to form a circulating air duct; a fan installed in the heating chamber, capable of forming a circulating airflow within the circulating air duct; a heating device installed in the heating chamber, capable of heating the airflow; a ventilated clothes rack installed in the care chamber, the ventilated clothes rack having an air inlet and an air outlet connected to each other, the air inlet being flexibly connected to the air inlet, and the air outlet being located at the bottom of the ventilated clothes rack, capable of guiding airflow into the interior of the garment; and a driving device drivenly connected to the ventilated clothes rack, capable of driving the ventilated clothes rack to swing; the control method of the present invention comprising: controlling the operation of the fan and the heating device in a drying mode; acquiring the humidity value of the garment on the ventilated clothes rack; and selectively operating the driving device according to the humidity value.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively operating the drive device according to the humidity value" specifically includes: comparing the humidity value with a first preset value; and selectively operating the drive device according to the comparison result.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively operating the drive device according to the comparison result" specifically includes: if the humidity value is not greater than the first preset value, then the drive device is not operated; and / or if the humidity value is greater than the first preset value, then the drive device is operated.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the garment care machine further includes a steam generator capable of spraying water vapor onto the surface of the garment. After the drying mode has been running for a preset time, the control method of the present invention further includes: selectively turning on the steam generator according to the humidity value to spray a certain amount of water vapor onto the surface of the garment.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively turning on the steam generator according to the humidity value" specifically includes: comparing the humidity value with a second preset value; and selectively turning on the steam generator according to the comparison result.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively turning on the steam generator according to the comparison result" specifically includes: if the humidity value is greater than the second preset value, then the steam generator is not turned on; and / or if the humidity value is not greater than the second preset value, then the steam generator is turned on.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, while "turning on the steam generating device to spray a certain amount of water vapor onto the surface of the clothing", the control method of the present invention further includes: turning off the heating device to allow the clothing to air dry naturally.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "controlling the operation of the fan" specifically includes: controlling the fan to operate intermittently.

[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a garment care machine, the garment care machine including a controller configured to perform the control method described above.

[0016] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment care machine, the garment care machine further includes a top air outlet and a bottom air outlet connecting the heating chamber and the care chamber.

[0017] With the above technical solution adopted, the garment care machine of the present invention includes: a care chamber, wherein an air inlet and an air return outlet are provided in the care chamber; a heating chamber, wherein both ends of the heating chamber are respectively connected to the air inlet and the air return outlet to form a circulating air duct; a fan, which is installed in the heating chamber and is capable of forming a circulating airflow in the circulating air duct; a heating device, which is installed in the heating chamber and is capable of heating the airflow; a ventilated clothes rack, which is installed in the care chamber and is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet that are connected to each other, the air inlet being flexibly connected to the air inlet and the air outlet being located at the bottom of the ventilated clothes rack, and is capable of guiding airflow into the interior of the garment; and a driving device, which is drivenly connected to the ventilated clothes rack and is capable of driving the ventilated clothes rack to swing; the control method of the present invention includes: controlling the operation of the fan and the heating device in the drying mode; obtaining the humidity value of the garment on the ventilated clothes rack; and selectively operating the driving device according to the humidity value. With this setting, clothes can be selectively shaken simultaneously according to their humidity level during drying mode, accurately controlling the drying intensity. Different drying modes with different intensities can be matched to clothes with different humidity levels, achieving precise control of the drying mode, improving the drying effect, shortening the drying time, and controlling the equipment's energy consumption.

[0018] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention further includes: comparing the humidity value with a first preset value; and selectively operating the drive device according to the comparison result. By setting the first preset value as the starting condition for the drive device, precise control of drying efficiency is achieved.

[0019] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention further includes: if the humidity value is not greater than a first preset value, then the drive device is not operated; and / or if the humidity value is greater than the first preset value, then the drive device is operated. Through this setting, the humidity is divided into two ranges, normal and slightly high, using the first preset value, and the drying mode is divided into two different intensities, normal and enhanced, depending on whether the drive device is operated, so that the two humidity ranges match the two drying intensities, achieving precise control of the drying mode.

[0020] Furthermore, the garment care machine of the present invention also includes a steam generator capable of spraying water vapor onto the surface of the garment. After a preset time has elapsed in the drying mode, the control method of the present invention further includes: selectively activating the steam generator based on the humidity value to spray a certain amount of water vapor onto the surface of the garment. With this setting, a small amount of water vapor can be sprayed onto the surface of the garment based on its humidity during the drying process, thereby softening the garment and preventing it from becoming stiff and affecting its feel under the constant high-temperature airflow.

[0021] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention further includes: comparing the humidity value with a second preset value; and selectively activating the steam generator based on the comparison result. With this setting, the second preset value can be used to accurately reflect the drying process of the clothes and set as the activation condition for the steam generator, providing an accurate basis for the timing of water vapor spraying.

[0022] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention further includes: if the humidity value is greater than a second preset value, then the steam generator is not turned on; and / or if the humidity value is not greater than the second preset value, then the steam generator is turned on. This setting allows the steam generator to spray steam onto the clothes only when they are nearly fully dried, achieving precise control over the spraying timing, thus achieving a softening effect while avoiding increasing the drying time.

[0023] Furthermore, while "turning on the steam generator to spray a certain amount of water vapor onto the surface of the clothing," the control method of the present invention also includes: turning off the heating device to allow the clothing to air dry naturally. This arrangement allows the water vapor on the surface of the clothing to evaporate naturally at room temperature, avoiding high-temperature baking of the clothing, preventing the clothing from becoming stiff again, and maintaining the softness of the clothing.

[0024] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention also includes controlling the fan to operate intermittently. This setting allows the clothing to expand and contract intermittently, thereby fully stretching the clothing, increasing the contact area between the air and the clothing, and improving wrinkle removal and drying efficiency.

[0025] Furthermore, the garment care machine provided by the present invention, based on the above-mentioned control method, possesses the technical effects of the above-mentioned control method. Compared with the garment care machine before the improvement, the garment care machine of the present invention can operate the drive device to shake the clothes when the humidity of the clothes is high, so as to play an auxiliary role in high-temperature drying, improve the drying effect, and shorten the drying time.

[0026] Furthermore, the garment care machine of the present invention also includes a top air outlet and a bottom air outlet connecting the heating chamber and the care chamber. With this arrangement, high-temperature gas can be delivered to the care chamber from multiple positions and angles during the drying process, allowing the outer surface of the garment to fully contact the high-temperature gas, achieving simultaneous drying of the garment's interior and exterior, and effectively improving drying efficiency.

[0036] 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.

[0037] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "inner", "outer", "upper", "lower", "top", and "bottom" that indicate direction or positional relationship are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0038] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "install" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] Based on the background art's description of the insufficient drying effect of existing garment care machines, this invention provides a control method and a garment care machine. By incorporating a ventilated hanger and a drive device within the garment care machine, the air inlet of the ventilated hanger is connected to the heating chamber, and an air outlet is located at the bottom of the ventilated hanger, allowing hot air to enter the interior of the garment through the air outlet. The drive device is connected to the ventilated hanger and can drive the ventilated hanger to swing while supplying air, thereby increasing the intensity of the drying mode. This allows for matching appropriate drying intensity to garments with different humidity levels, achieving precise control of drying intensity, improving drying efficiency, and controlling energy consumption.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the garment care machine of the present invention includes: a care chamber, wherein an air supply port and an air return port are provided in the care chamber; a heating chamber, wherein both ends of the heating chamber are respectively connected to the air supply port and the air return port to form a circulating air duct; a fan, which is installed in the heating chamber and is capable of forming a circulating airflow in the circulating air duct; a heating device, which is installed in the heating chamber and is capable of heating the airflow; a ventilated clothes hanger, which is installed in the care chamber and is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet that are connected to each other, the air inlet and the air supply port being flexibly connected, and the air outlet being located at the bottom of the ventilated clothes hanger, capable of guiding airflow into the interior of the garment; and a driving device, which is drivenly connected to the ventilated clothes hanger and is capable of driving the ventilated clothes hanger to swing.

[0041] For example, the garment care machine has an internal partition that divides the internal space into an upper care chamber and a lower heating chamber. A return air vent is located on the partition. The garment care machine also includes a vertically extending air duct. The bottom of the air duct communicates with the heating chamber, and the top of the air duct extends to the top of the care chamber to form an air outlet. Both the fan and the heating device are located in the heating chamber. The fan can send the high-temperature gas heated in the heating chamber into the care chamber through the air duct and the air outlet to dry the clothes. At the same time, it can draw the low-temperature, high-humidity gas in the heating chamber into the heating chamber through the return air vent for heating and dehumidification, thereby forming a circulating airflow.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the ventilated clothes hanger is similar in shape to a regular clothes hanger, supporting the two shoulders of the garment through side supports. The difference lies in its internal cavity structure, forming an internal air duct. An air inlet is located at the top, corresponding to the collar of the garment, and an air outlet is located at the bottom. The air inlet and outlet are connected through the cavity structure and are detachably connected. When connected, high-temperature gas is introduced into the internal air duct of the ventilated clothes hanger and ultimately into the interior of the garment through the air outlet to dry the inside. Preferably, multiple air outlets are provided, spaced apart at the bottom of the hanger, to ensure more even airflow.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the care chamber is further provided with a bottom air outlet, a top air outlet, and a side air outlet (not shown in the figure). The bottom air outlet is located on the partition, the top air outlet is located at the top of the air duct, and the side air outlet is located in the middle of the air duct. This allows high-temperature gas to be delivered to the care chamber from multiple positions and angles during the drying process, so that the outer surface of the garment can also fully contact the high-temperature gas, thereby achieving simultaneous drying of the inner and outer surfaces of the garment and effectively improving the drying efficiency.

[0044] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the drive unit is installed on the ceiling of the nursing chamber and includes a drive motor, an eccentric wheel, and a moving rod. The eccentric wheel is directly or indirectly pivotally connected to the ceiling, and the drive motor is directly or indirectly fixedly connected to the ceiling. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the eccentric wheel. The moving rod is slidably connected to the ceiling and can slide relative to the ceiling. The transmission part of the moving rod is movably connected to the edge of the eccentric wheel, so that the eccentric wheel can rotate relative to the transmission part. The ventilated clothes hanger is suspended below the moving rod and can move synchronously with the moving rod.

[0045] When the eccentric wheel rotates, the radius of rotation (i.e., the distance from the transmission part to the center of rotation) at the point on the eccentric wheel that contacts the transmission part of the moving rod changes periodically, thereby driving the moving rod to reciprocate relative to the top plate, and simultaneously causing the ventilated clothes hanger to move synchronously. In this invention, the moving rod is preferably made to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, thereby causing the ventilated clothes hanger to swing horizontally, ultimately achieving the goal of shaking the clothes on the ventilated clothes hanger.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in order to ensure a stable connection between the ventilated clothes hanger and the air duct, and to ensure the normal delivery of airflow, while not affecting the horizontal swing of the ventilated clothes hanger, in this application, the air inlet of the ventilated clothes hanger and the air outlet of the heating chamber are connected by a flexible hose, such as a rubber hose or a spiral hose. The flexible hose can completely absorb the vibration during the swing of the ventilated clothes hanger, and avoid motion interference between the pipeline and the ventilated clothes hanger. This allows the delivery of hot air and the swing of the clothes to proceed simultaneously, which can effectively improve the drying efficiency compared to the traditional standalone blowing mode.

[0047] Meanwhile, the flexible hose can be quickly plugged into and unplugged from both ends of the air inlet and outlet, respectively, allowing users to selectively use either a ventilated hanger or a regular hanger as needed, thus improving the flexibility of use.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, based on the structure of the above-described garment care machine, the control method provided by this invention includes:

[0049] S100: In drying mode, controls the operation of the fan and heating device;

[0050] S200: Obtain the humidity value of the clothes on the ventilated clothes rack;

[0051] S300: Selectively operates the drive unit based on the humidity value.

[0052] Because the thickness, material, and dehydration effect of clothing can all affect its absorbency, the initial moisture content of clothes before drying will vary. When the moisture content of the clothes is too high, the drying time and energy consumption will increase accordingly.

[0053] Based on this, the clothing care machine of the present invention is equipped with a humidity sensor, which can be flexibly installed at the air return vent and / or on the ventilated clothes hanger so as to accurately detect the humidity of the clothing.

[0054] The control method of this invention, when dealing with clothing of varying moisture levels, first operates a fan and heating device to deliver high-temperature gas into the care chamber for high-temperature drying of the clothing. Then, based on the moisture level of the clothing, it determines whether a drive device needs to be activated simultaneously to increase the drying intensity by agitating the clothing. This allows for matching different drying intensities to clothing with varying moisture levels, achieving precise control over the drying mode, improving drying efficiency, shortening drying time, and controlling equipment energy consumption.

[0055] Preferably, the fan operates intermittently, allowing the clothes to expand and contract intermittently, thus stretching them fully. This helps increase the contact area between the air and the clothes, further improving wrinkle removal and drying efficiency.

[0056] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, the steps of "selectively operating the drive unit according to the humidity value" specifically include:

[0057] S310: Compare the humidity value with the first preset value;

[0058] S320: Based on the comparison results, selectively operate the drive unit.

[0059] Preferably, the step of "selectively operating the drive unit based on the comparison results" specifically includes:

[0060] S321: If the humidity value is not greater than the first preset value, the drive device will not be operated;

[0061] S322: If the humidity value is greater than the first preset value, then the drive device is activated.

[0062] For example, the system sets a first preset value as the start condition for the drive device. The first preset value can divide the humidity range into two humidity intervals, namely standard and slightly high. If the humidity value of the clothes is not greater than the first preset value, it means that the humidity of the clothes is normal, and the drying task can be completed smoothly by simply running the heating device and the fan. If the humidity value of the clothes is greater than the first preset value, it means that the humidity of the clothes is too high. To achieve the same drying effect by simply running the heating device and the fan, the drying time needs to be extended, or the same drying effect cannot be achieved within the same drying time. In this case, in addition to running the heating device and the fan, the garment care machine will also run the drive device at the same time to increase the contact area and frequency between the clothes and the air, accelerate the evaporation of moisture, and improve the drying efficiency.

[0063] In this case, it is preferable to set the first preset value to 60%.

[0064] In addition, during the high-temperature baking process, the moisture in the clothes evaporates quickly, causing the clothing fibers to lose water too fast, resulting in a stiff feel and affecting the comfort of wearing them.

[0065] Based on this, the garment care machine of the present invention is also equipped with a steam generating device, which can spray water vapor onto the surface of the garment in a timely manner to moisten and soften the garment.

[0066] Preferably, after a preset time has elapsed in the drying mode, the control method of the present invention further includes:

[0067] S400: Depending on the humidity level, the steam generator is selectively activated to spray a certain amount of water vapor onto the surface of the clothing.

[0068] Specifically, after the clothes have been dried for a certain period of time, most of the moisture has evaporated under the high temperature. At this time, spraying a small amount of water vapor onto the surface of the clothes can replenish the fabric and restore its flexibility, thereby softening the clothes and preventing them from becoming stiff and affecting their feel under the high temperature airflow throughout the drying process.

[0069] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, the step of "selectively turning on the steam generator according to the humidity value to spray a certain amount of water vapor onto the surface of the clothing" specifically includes:

[0070] S410: Compare the humidity value with the second preset value;

[0071] S420: Based on the comparison results, selectively turn on the steam generator.

[0072] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, the specific steps of "selectively turning on the steam generator based on the comparison results" include:

[0073] S421: If the humidity value is greater than the second preset value, the steam generator will not be turned on;

[0074] S422: If the humidity value is not greater than the second preset value, then turn on the steam generator.

[0075] The setting of the second preset value can accurately reflect the drying process of the clothes, that is, the humidity status of the clothes at this time, and the second preset value can be set as the start-up condition of the steam generator, providing an accurate basis for the timing of water vapor spraying.

[0076] For example, in this invention, the second preset value is preferably set to 20%, which is the state where the clothes are close to being completely dried. When the humidity value drops to the second preset value, it means that the clothes are close to being completely dried. Spraying water vapor at this time can, on the one hand, replenish the moisture in time before the clothes are completely dried to restore their flexibility; on the other hand, after spraying water vapor, it is not necessary to spend too much extra time to completely dry the clothes, and the total drying time will not be significantly increased.

[0077] like Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, while the steam generator is turned on, the control method of the present invention further includes:

[0078] S500: Turn off the heating device to allow clothes to air dry naturally.

[0079] After turning off the heating device, control the fan to run alone, or control the fan and drive device to run simultaneously, stop heating the circulating airflow, and let the temperature of the circulating airflow drop to room temperature, so that the clothes can be naturally air-dried in a room temperature environment, avoiding the rapid evaporation of moisture and causing the clothes to become stiff again.

[0080] Furthermore, the garment care machine provided by the present invention, based on the above-mentioned control method, possesses the technical effects of the above-mentioned control method. Compared with the garment care machine before the improvement, the garment care machine of the present invention can operate the drive device to shake the clothes when the humidity of the clothes is relatively high, so as to play an auxiliary role in high-temperature drying, improve the drying effect, and shorten the drying time.

[0081] 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.
