Washing and drying integrated machine, control method and control device therefor, and storage medium
By keeping the condensate valve closed throughout the drying process of the condenser washer-dryer, and utilizing the heat exchange between the inner wall of the outer drum and steam to form a condensate film, and dynamically adjusting the start and stop of the heating element, the problem of high energy consumption in condenser washer-dryers is solved, achieving an energy-saving and water-saving drying effect.

Abstract
This application relates to the technical field of garment processing equipment, providing a washer-dryer combo and its control method, control device, and storage medium. By keeping the condensate drain valve closed throughout the constant temperature stage, heat exchange occurs between the inner wall of the outer drum and the water vapor evaporated from the load. Condensate gradually forms on the thin wall of the outer drum and slowly flows to the bottom and is discharged until the heat exchange efficiency parameter of the outer drum wall reaches a preset threshold, at which point the machine enters the next stage. Because the condensate drain is closed in this stage, the air temperature circulating into the heating and drying tunnel decreases relatively little, resulting in a shorter heating element operating time. This significantly reduces overall energy consumption in this stage, thereby lowering the washer-dryer combo's power and water consumption.
