Attached Figure Description

[0034] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure or the prior art, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, for those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a garment processing device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure;

[0038] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another garment processing device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Detailed Implementation

[0039] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0040] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0041] The technical solution provided in this disclosure is applicable to a garment processing device with a drying function. This garment processing device includes a processing tank and a material box connected to the processing tank. The material box can be used for feeding materials, such as liquid materials like fabric softener and detergent, or solid materials like laundry powder. The materials fed into the material box can be carried into the processing tank by water flow to interact with the load inside the processing tank, achieving cleaning and softening effects on the load. The processing tank may include a nested and interconnected outer tank and an inner tank. The inner tank accommodates the load and can rotate the load based on lifting ribs provided therein. The outer tank is connected to the material box for water and material feeding.

[0042] Based on this, in the control method of the clothing processing equipment provided in this embodiment, by controlling the processing drum and the material box to isolate gas transmission during the drying stage, the hot water vapor in the processing drum can be prevented from being transmitted to the material box during the drying stage. As a result, the hot water vapor cannot reach the front control panel, thereby avoiding the problem of condensation on the front control panel and improving the user experience.

[0043] In some embodiments, the garment processing device includes a water inlet pipe that connects the material box and the processing tank. The incoming water first passes through the material box, then through the water inlet pipe, and finally reaches the processing tank. Based on this, a preset amount of water can be retained in the water inlet pipe to prevent air from passing between the water inlet and the water outlet, thereby achieving gas sealing between the material box and the processing tank.

[0044] The control method, apparatus, medium, and equipment of the garment processing equipment provided in this disclosure will be described by way of example below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The garment processing device to which this control method is applicable includes at least a processing tank and a material box communicating with the processing tank; (See reference...) Figure 2The garment processing equipment 01 includes a processing tank 011, a material box 012, a front control panel 013, and a water inlet pipe 014. The processing tank 011 and the material box 012 are connected via the water inlet pipe 014; the connection structure between the processing tank 011 and the material box 012 is not limited herein. This control method can be executed by a control device, such as a controller included in the mainboard of the garment processing equipment. This control device can be implemented in software and / or hardware. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The control method may include the following steps:

[0046] S110, based on the drying stage operation, controls the material box and the processing barrel to isolate gas transmission.

[0047] The drying stage can be the stage in which the drying program is running. The drying program can be an automatic drying program or a time-additional drying program. The automatic drying program can include a regular drying program for general clothing, a wall-mounted drying program for clothing such as wool and silk, or other drying programs that the clothing processing equipment can run. This is not limited here.

[0048] During the drying process, the inside of the processing tank is a high-temperature environment. The moisture in the load inside the processing tank forms water vapor under this high-temperature environment, and the water vapor can flow to other structures connected to the processing tank.

[0049] The control method for the garment processing equipment provided in this disclosure, by controlling the processing drum and the material box to isolate gas transmission during the drying stage, can prevent hot water vapor in the processing drum from flowing to the material box during the drying stage. As a result, the hot water vapor cannot further reach the front control panel, thereby avoiding the problem of condensation on the front control panel and improving the user experience.

[0050] It should be noted that, Figure 2 The illustrations only show, by way of example, structural components in the garment processing apparatus related to the control method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure. In other embodiments, the garment processing apparatus 01 may also include other structural components known to those skilled in the art, which are not described in detail here nor are they limited thereto.

[0051] It should be noted that the material box and the processing tank can be controlled to be connected or isolated. When they are connected, water or air can be supplied; when they are isolated, gas transmission is prevented. Specific isolation methods will be illustrated later.

[0052] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 The garment processing equipment 01 may also include a water inlet pipe 014, which connects the processing tank 011 and the material box 012. The water entering the garment processing equipment 01 can first flow through the material box 012, and then through the water inlet pipe 014 to reach the processing tank 011.

[0053] Based on this, the control method of the garment processing equipment isolates the material box from the processing tank in terms of gas transmission, specifically including:

[0054] Control the water inlet pipe to seal off the gas transmission path, thereby isolating the gas transmission path between the material box and the processing tank.

[0055] The water inlet pipe can be used as a gas transmission passage or a water inlet passage between the material box and the processing tank. If the gas transmission passage is not blocked by the water inlet pipe, the water vapor generated in the processing tank during the drying stage can reach the material box through the water inlet pipe and eventually condense on the front control panel.

[0056] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, by controlling the water inlet pipe to block the gas transmission path during the drying stage, the gas transmission path between the material box and the processing barrel can be isolated, thereby preventing the hot water vapor in the processing barrel from reaching the material box, and thus preventing the hot water vapor from reaching the front control panel, thereby avoiding the problem of condensation on the front control panel, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0057] In some embodiments, the water inlet pipe is U-shaped. By filling at least the bottom of the U-shaped water inlet pipe with water, the flow of gas can be blocked by the water. Even if gas cannot flow between the inlet and outlet of the water inlet pipe, gas transmission between the processing tank and the material box can be blocked.

[0058] For example, continue to refer to Figure 2 The garment processing equipment 01 includes a water inlet pipe 014 comprising a first sub-section 0141, a second sub-section 0142, and a third sub-section 0143 connected in sequence. The first sub-section 0141 has a water inlet connected to a material box 012, and the third sub-section 0143 has a water outlet connected to a processing tank 011. The heights of both the water inlet and the water outlet are higher than those of the second sub-section 0142. The heights of the water inlet and the water outlet refer to the height of the garment processing equipment 01 when it is fully installed. The water outlet can be connected to the processing tank 011 at the upper rear part of the processing tank 011. The height of this connection point can be, for example, equal to or higher than 3 / 4 of the height of the processing tank 011, but is not limited here.

[0059] In some embodiments, controlling the water inlet pipe to block the gas transmission path may specifically include:

[0060] Control the garment processing equipment to supply water to the inlet pipe, so that at least part of the second sub-section is filled with water, thereby isolating the gas transmission path between the outlet and the inlet.

[0061] The second sub-section corresponds to the bottom of the "U" shape. By controlling the water intake of the garment processing equipment and filling at least the second sub-section with water, the bottom of the "U" shape can be fully submerged in water, thus preventing air from passing between the water inlet and outlet, and consequently preventing air from passing between the material box and the processing bucket. This simple control method achieves gas isolation between the processing bucket and the material box.

[0062] In some embodiments, the bottom of the treatment tank and the bottom of the inlet pipe may be set at the same height, or they may be set at different heights, which is not limited here.

[0063] In some embodiments, the laundry processing device can be controlled to supply water to the water inlet pipe based on the water inlet time, or the laundry processing device can be controlled to supply water to the water inlet pipe based on water level monitoring. Exemplary descriptions are provided below for each.

[0064] In some embodiments, before controlling the garment handling equipment to supply water to the inlet pipe, the control method may further include:

[0065] Obtain the target water demand and inflow rate;

[0066] The target water intake duration is determined based on the target water demand and the inflow rate.

[0067] The target water requirement ensures that at least a portion of the second sub-section is filled with water to meet the need to seal the gas transmission path between the processing tank and the material box. Exemplarily, the target water requirement may be determined based on the structural design of the water inlet pipe of the garment processing equipment, and the specific value is not limited in this embodiment.

[0068] The influent flow rate is the flow rate during the influent process. It can be obtained based on flow meter monitoring, or the flow rate value of the previously executed influent stage can be directly retrieved, or the flow rate value of the stored influent stage can be directly retrieved. There is no limitation here.

[0069] Specifically, when the water volume in the inlet pipe is zero or has a certain amount of water, the cumulative effect of the inlet water flow rate over time will allow the water volume in the inlet pipe to reach the target water demand after a certain period of time. Based on this, working backwards, after determining the target water demand and the inlet water flow rate, if the water volume is zero and the inlet water flow rate is constant, the quotient obtained by dividing the target water demand by the inlet water flow rate can be used as the target water inlet duration.

[0070] In some embodiments, the garment processing apparatus may further include a water inlet control component. The water inlet control component is capable of controlling whether water enters the garment; the water inlet control component is turned on to start water entry; the water inlet control component is turned off to stop water entry; exemplarily, the water inlet control component may be a water inlet valve.

[0071] Based on this, controlling the flow of water into the inlet pipe of the garment processing equipment may specifically include:

[0072] Control the water inlet control component to open;

[0073] Once the target water inlet duration is reached, the water inlet control component is shut off.

[0074] For example, the target water inlet time can be 1 second. During the drying stage, the water inlet valve is opened for 1 second to allow a small amount of water to enter the water inlet pipe, so that the bottom of the "U" shape of the water inlet pipe is filled with water, thereby sealing off the gas exchange between the treatment tank and the material box and preventing hot water vapor from reaching the front control panel.

[0075] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, by controlling the opening of the water inlet control component, water can be introduced into the water inlet pipeline. The opening time of the water inlet control component is the water inlet time. When the water inlet time reaches the target water inlet time, the amount of water remaining in the water inlet pipeline reaches the target required amount, that is, at least part of the second subsection of the water inlet pipeline is filled with water, which can seal off the gas interaction between the processing tank and the material box, so that the hot water vapor in the processing tank cannot reach the material box through the water inlet pipeline, and thus cannot reach the front control panel, thereby solving the problem of condensation on the front control panel.

[0076] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment further includes a water level monitoring component and a water inlet control component; wherein, the water level monitoring component is capable of real-time monitoring of the water level in the water inlet pipe and transmitting the monitored water level value to the control device; exemplarily, the water level monitoring component may be a water level sensor. The water inlet control component is capable of controlling whether water enters the garment; the water inlet control component is turned on to start water entry; the water inlet control component is turned off to stop water entry; exemplarily, the water inlet control component may be a water inlet valve.

[0077] Based on this, controlling the flow of water into the inlet pipe of the garment processing equipment includes:

[0078] Control the water inlet control component to open;

[0079] Based on the activation of the water inlet control component, the water level value collected by the water level monitoring component is obtained;

[0080] Based on the water level reaching the target water level, the water inlet control component is shut off; wherein, the target water level causes at least a portion of the second sub-section to be filled with water.

[0081] In this embodiment, water can be introduced into the inlet pipe by controlling the water inlet control component to open. After the water inlet control component is opened, i.e., after water enters the inlet pipe, the water level value collected by the water level monitoring component can be obtained, and it can be determined whether the water level value has reached the target water level. If the water level value has not yet reached the target water level, it indicates that the gas transmission path of the inlet pipe has not been blocked, and water can continue to enter. If the water level value has reached the target water level, it indicates that the gas transmission path of the inlet pipe has been blocked, and at this time, the water inlet control component can be closed, i.e., the water supply to the inlet pipe can be stopped. Thus, the gas transmission path of the inlet pipe is blocked through a simple control method, thereby isolating the gas transmission between the processing tank and the material box, preventing hot water vapor in the processing tank from reaching the material box through the inlet pipe, and thus preventing the hot water vapor from reaching the front control panel, thereby solving the problem of condensation on the front control panel.

[0082] In some embodiments, after the water inlet control component is closed, the system further includes:

[0083] The water inlet control unit is restarted based on the drying stage reaching the preset duration and / or based on the water level in the inlet pipe dropping to the preset level.

[0084] During the drying stage, the water in the inlet pipe evaporates slowly due to heat. If the water level in the inlet pipe drops to a point where it cannot completely seal the gas transmission path between the material box and the processing tank, hot water vapor from the processing tank will be transferred to the material box and then to the front control panel. To address this, the inlet control component can be restarted based on time monitoring or water level monitoring, allowing water to re-enter the inlet pipe to restore the water level to a level sufficient to isolate the gas transmission between the material box and the processing tank.

[0085] For example, the preset duration can be 30 minutes or 60 minutes, that is, the water valve is opened for 1 second every 30 minutes to keep the gas transmission isolated between the processing tank and the material box; in other embodiments, the preset duration can also be calculated based on the water evaporation rate, which is not limited here.

[0086] For example, the preset water level can be a level that just seals off gas transmission between the material box and the treatment tank, as referenced. Figure 2 The first water level L2 in the middle, or a water level higher than this sealing water level, refer to... Figure 2 The second water level L1, or any water level between the second water level L1 and the first water level L2, is used to ensure that the processing tank and material box are continuously sealed off from gas transmission during the drying stage, thus preventing condensation on the front control panel.

[0087] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, by monitoring at least one of the duration and water level, the water inlet control component can be turned on again when the running time of the drying stage reaches a preset duration and / or the water level in the water inlet pipe drops to a preset water level, so as to re-inject water into the water inlet pipe to replenish the water lost due to the evaporation of hot water, maintain the isolation of gas transmission between the processing tank and the material box, and thus prevent the hot water vapor in the processing tank from being transmitted to the material box and the front control panel.

[0088] Based on the above embodiments and the same inventive concept, this disclosure also provides a control device for a garment processing device. The garment processing device includes a processing tank and a material box connected to the processing tank. The control device can implement the steps of any of the control methods for the garment processing device provided in the above embodiments, and has corresponding beneficial effects, which will not be elaborated here.

[0089] In some embodiments, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a control device for a garment processing apparatus provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. (Refer to...) Figure 3 The control device includes a control module 300 for operation based on the drying stage, controlling the material box and the processing barrel to isolate gas transmission.

[0091] In some embodiments, the water inlet pipe includes a first sub-section, a second sub-section, and a third sub-section connected in sequence. The first sub-section has a water inlet, and the third sub-section has a water outlet. The height of the water inlet and the water outlet is higher than that of the second sub-section. The control module is used to control the water inlet pipe to block the gas transmission path. Specifically, it may include controlling the clothing processing equipment to introduce water into the water inlet pipe so that at least part of the second sub-section is filled with water, thereby isolating the gas transmission path between the water outlet and the water inlet.

[0092] In some embodiments, the control device of the garment processing equipment may further include: an acquisition module, configured to acquire a target required water volume and an inlet water flow rate before controlling the garment processing equipment to introduce water into the inlet pipe; wherein the target required water volume causes at least a portion of the second sub-section to be filled with water; a duration determination module, configured to determine a target water inlet duration based on the target required water volume and the inlet water flow rate; the garment processing equipment further includes an inlet water control component, the control module being configured to control the garment processing equipment to introduce water into the inlet pipe, specifically including: controlling the inlet water control component to open; and controlling the inlet water control component to close based on the inlet water control component being open for a duration equal to the target water inlet duration.

[0093] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a water level monitoring component and a water inlet control component; the control module is used to control the garment processing device to introduce water into the water inlet pipe, specifically including: controlling the water inlet control component to open; based on the opening of the water inlet control component, obtaining the water level value collected by the water level monitoring component; based on the water level value reaching the target water level, controlling the water inlet control component to close; wherein, the target water level causes at least a portion of the second sub-section to be filled with water.

[0094] In some embodiments, the control module is further configured to control the water inlet control component to turn on again after the water inlet control component is turned off, based on the drying stage running time reaching a preset duration, and / or based on the water level in the water inlet pipeline dropping to a preset water level.

[0095] It is understood that the control device provided in this disclosure embodiment can implement the steps of the control method of any of the clothing processing equipment provided in the above embodiments, and has corresponding beneficial effects, which will not be elaborated here.

[0096] This disclosure also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program thereon, which is executed by a processor to implement the steps of the control method for any of the clothing processing devices provided in the above embodiments, and has corresponding beneficial effects, which will not be elaborated here.

A preset water volume stored in the water inlet pipe 014 effectively seals off the gas transmission path, thus isolating the gas transmission path between the material box 012 and the processing tank 011. The preset water volume is the amount of water that prevents air from passing between the inlet and outlet of the water inlet pipe 014. For example, when the water inlet pipe 014 is U-shaped, the preset water volume can be at least enough to completely submerge the bottom of the U-shape. Figure 2The water level corresponding to the preset water volume can be the first water level L2, the second water level L1, or any water level between the first water level L2 and the second water level L1.
