Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing processing equipment, and more particularly to a control method for clothing processing equipment and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing processing equipment, such as dryers or washer-dryer combos with drying functions, can heat wet clothes after washing to remove moisture and dry the clothes.

[0003] In related technologies, garment processing equipment is usually equipped with a detection device to determine the dryness of the garments based on the detection data. However, due to differences in the weight and material of the load, for example, when the load is small, the load will move regularly with the garment processing chamber at a certain speed, making it impossible for the detection device to contact the load. This results in low accuracy of the detection device in determining the dryness of the load. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Wherein, the first rotational speed is less than the rotational speed of the load adhering to the wall; the second time is at least a portion of the time period after the clothing processing chamber stops rotating and then increases to the first rotational speed.

[0017] Optionally, adjusting the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber based on the detection data of the detection device reaching a first preset condition within a first time period includes:

[0018] Based on the detection data of the detection device reaching the first preset condition within the first time period, the rotation speed of the clothing processing chamber is adjusted to the second rotation speed;

[0019] Wherein, the second rotational speed is different from the rotational speed of the garment processing chamber in the first time period; the second time period is at least a portion of the time period during which the garment processing chamber adjusts from the current rotational speed to the second rotational speed, or the second time period is at least a portion of the time period during which the garment processing chamber maintains the second rotational speed.

[0020] Optionally, adjusting the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber to a second rotation speed based on the detection data of the detection device within a first time period when a first preset condition is met includes:

[0021] Based on the detection data of the detection device reaching the first preset condition within the first time period, the rotation speed of the clothing processing chamber is reduced to the second rotation speed;

[0022] The second rotational speed is less than the rotational speed of the clothing processing chamber during the first time period.

[0023] Optionally, the control method for the garment handling equipment also includes:

[0024] If the detection data from the detection device within the first time period does not meet the first preset condition, it is determined that a conventional drying procedure will be executed.

[0025] Optionally, the control method for the garment handling equipment also includes:

[0026] Based on the detection data of the detection device reaching the first preset condition in the second time period, it is determined to be in an unloaded state.

[0027] Optionally, after determining that the state is no-load, the following steps are also included:

[0028] Generate an empty load notification message and / or control the clothing processing equipment to stop within a preset time.

[0029] Secondly, this disclosure also provides a control device for a processing apparatus, comprising:

[0030] The rotation speed adjustment module is used to adjust the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber based on the detection data of the detection device within a first time period to meet a first preset condition.

[0033] Thirdly, this disclosure also provides a garment processing device, the garment processing device comprising: a memory, a processor, and a garment processing device control program stored in the memory and running on the processor, the garment processing device control program being configured to implement the control method of the garment processing device as described in the first aspect.

[0034] Fourthly, this disclosure also provides a storage medium storing a garment processing device control program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the garment processing device control method as described in the first aspect.

[0035] The technical solution provided in this disclosure has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0036] This disclosure provides a control method for a garment processing device and the garment processing device itself. The garment processing device includes a detection device disposed within a garment processing chamber. The garment processing device includes a conventional drying program and a preset drying program. The control method includes: adjusting the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber based on the detection data of the detection device within a first time period reaching a first preset condition; and executing the preset drying program based on the detection data of the detection device within a second time period not reaching the first preset condition. The preset drying program corresponds to a lower upper limit for the load it is suitable for processing than the upper limit for the load it is suitable for processing in the conventional drying program. Therefore, by adjusting the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber when the detection data of the detection device reaches the first preset condition within the first time period, and executing the preset drying program when the detection data of the detection device within the second time period does not reach the first preset condition, the problem of the detection device failing to contact the load due to the load's movement trajectory, resulting in low accuracy in judging the dryness of the load, or even misjudging it as an empty load, is avoided. This improves the accuracy of the detection device in judging the dryness of the load. Attached Figure Description

[0044] 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.

[0045] 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.

[0046] In related technologies, garment processing equipment is usually equipped with a detection device to determine the dryness of the garments based on the detection data. However, due to differences in the weight and material of the load, for example, when the load is small, the load will move regularly with the garment processing chamber at a certain speed, making it impossible for the detection device to contact the load. This results in low accuracy of the detection device in determining the dryness of the load.

[0047] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a garment processing device provided in this disclosure. The control method can be applied to application scenarios requiring the determination of the dryness level of garments. This method can be executed by a control device for the garment processing device provided in this disclosure, which can be implemented using software and / or hardware. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0048] S101. Based on the detection data of the detection device reaching the first preset condition within the first time, adjust the rotation speed of the clothing processing chamber.

[0049] In related technologies, the detection device is located on the front support of the garment processing equipment, which is situated at the front of the garment processing chamber. This results in a relatively large distance between the detection device and the load inside the garment processing chamber. For example, when garments are being dried against the wall, the detection device is essentially unable to reach the load. Therefore, when garments are being dried against the wall, it is impossible to use the detection device to detect drying parameters to determine the dryness of the garments.

[0050] To address this issue, this embodiment of the invention places a detection device within the garment processing chamber of the garment processing equipment. During the drying process, the detection device positioned within the processing chamber easily comes into contact with the garments, allowing it to detect drying parameters and determine the drying status of the load. This is particularly beneficial when the load being dried is small; the detection device within the processing chamber more readily contacts the load, leading to a more accurate assessment of its dryness.

[0051] The detection device may be, for example, a conductivity detection device, such as a conductivity sensor. For example, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the physical structure of a garment processing device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a garment processing drum 1, lifting ribs 2, and a conductivity detection device. Figure 2 (Not shown in the image), the clothing processing cylinder 1 has a clothing processing chamber 1a, and the lifting rib 2 is disposed inside the clothing processing chamber 1a. Figure 2 Two lifting ribs 2 are shown as an example. The specific number of lifting ribs 2 can be selected according to the actual design of the garment processing equipment, and this disclosure does not limit this. At least part of the conductivity detection device is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting ribs 2.

[0052] Specifically, the conductivity detection device can detect the conductivity of the load, such as clothing, within the clothing processing chamber 1a. The clothing processing equipment can determine the degree of drying of the clothing based on the conductivity detected by the device. The principle of the conductivity detection device is as follows: the load within the clothing processing chamber 1a contacts the two electrodes of the conductivity detection device, causing the conductivity detection circuit to conduct. Loads with different levels of moisture have different resistance values; that is, the moisture level of the load is related to the conductivity. The degree of drying is determined based on the conductivity. Specifically, the greater the moisture level of the load, the greater the detected conductivity. Therefore, by placing the conductivity detection device on the outer surface of the lifting rib, the device can contact the load, such as clothing, within the clothing processing chamber 1a, thereby sensing the degree of drying of the clothing at close range and determining the drying status of the load based on the detection data.

[0053] For example, the garment processing equipment also includes a wireless power receiving module 3 disposed in the garment processing chamber 1a, which can power the conductivity detection device. The wireless power receiving module receives electrical energy wirelessly, thus eliminating the need for a conductive wire connection to an external power source and preventing interference with the conductive wire during the rotation of the garment processing chamber 1a. The wireless power receiving module 3 can provide power to the conductivity detection device, maintaining the energy required for its operation.

[0054] The garment processing equipment includes a housing 5 and a wireless power transmission module 4. The garment processing chamber 1a is located inside the housing 5, and the wireless power transmission module 4 can be mounted on the housing 5. The wireless power transmission module 4 and the wireless power receiving module 3 transmit electrical energy without contact, meaning that the wireless power transmission module 4 and the wireless power receiving module 3 can transmit electrical energy without being connected by wires.

[0055] For example, the above-mentioned garment processing device further includes a support shaft 6, which connects the garment processing cylinder 1 and the housing 5 to drive the garment processing cylinder 1 to rotate around its own rotation axis. The wireless power transmitting module 4 includes a transmitting coil, and the wireless power receiving module 3 includes a receiving coil. Both the transmitting and receiving coils are arranged around the transmission shaft 6. Energy can be transferred between the transmitting and receiving coils via a magnetic field. For example, the transmitting coil can generate a changing magnetic field, and the receiving coil can generate a current through electromagnetic induction, thereby achieving energy transfer.

[0056] In this embodiment, even when the clothing processing drum 1 is rotating, the wireless power transmitting module 4 and the wireless power receiving module 3 can still provide high-power electrical energy to electrical devices such as the conductivity detection device to meet their power needs.

[0057] In some embodiments, the detection device may also be a humidity detection device, such as a humidity sensor, which determines the degree of drying of the clothing by detecting the humidity value of the load, such as clothing. In other embodiments, other technical means well known to those skilled in the art may be used to obtain characterizing values ​​that can determine the degree of drying of the clothing, and this disclosure does not limit these methods.

[0058] Although placing the detection device on the inner wall of the garment processing chamber can improve the accuracy of judging the dryness of the load, if the load is too small during the drying process, some of the load will fall along a fixed trajectory as the garment processing chamber rotates, making it impossible for the detection device to touch this part of the load, thus greatly reducing the accuracy of judging the dryness of the load.

[0059] To address this issue, embodiments of this disclosure control the rotation of the garment processing chamber. The rotational speed of the garment processing chamber can be, for example, the speed corresponding to a conventional drying process. Detection data from a detection device within a first time period is acquired, and the rotational speed of the garment processing chamber is adjusted based on the detection data from the detection device within the first time period meeting a first preset condition.

[0060] For example, within the first time period T1, if the detection data of the detection device is less than a preset drying parameter, such as a conductivity value DG, and the detection data of the detection device is such as a conductivity value Da1, where Da1 can be the maximum value within the first time period T1, that is, if Da1 is less than DG within the first time period T1, it indicates that the load in the garment processing chamber is already dry, or that at the current rotation speed of the garment processing chamber, the movement trajectory of the load prevents the detection device from contacting the load. In this case, the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber should be adjusted to change the movement trajectory of the load when there is a load in the garment processing chamber, so that the detection device can contact the load.

[0061] It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the preset drying parameters can be set according to the actual usage requirements of the clothing processing equipment, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0062] S102. Based on the fact that the detection data of the detection device in the second time period does not meet the first preset condition, the preset drying program is executed.

[0063] The maximum load capacity that the preset drying program is suitable for handling is lower than the maximum load capacity that the conventional drying program is suitable for handling.

[0064] Garment handling equipment may include, for example, a standard drying program and preset drying programs. A standard drying program is the basic drying program of the garment handling equipment, which does not require special settings based on the material, function, or load of the garment. Preset drying programs are designed for specific materials, loads, or functions. For example, the maximum load capacity that a standard drying program can handle is 6 kg, 8 kg, 10 kg, or 12 kg, while the maximum load capacity that a preset drying program can handle is 2 kg, 3 kg, or 4 kg.

[0065] For example, after adjusting the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber, the detection data of the detection device is obtained in the second time period. For example, if the detection data of the detection device is greater than or equal to the preset drying parameters in the second time period T2, the preset drying program is executed.

[0066] For example, the preset drying parameters are, for example, the conductivity value DG, and the detection data of the detection device are, for example, the conductivity value Da2. The conductivity value Da2 can be the maximum value within the second time T2. That is, when Da2 is greater than or equal to DG within the second time T2, or when at least one conductivity value Da2 is greater than or equal to the conductivity value DG in the detection data of the detection device within the second time T2, it is determined that there is a humid load in the clothing processing chamber. When the clothing processing chamber rotates at the speed corresponding to the conventional drying program, the detection device does not contact the load, indicating that the load in the clothing processing chamber is less than the load corresponding to the conventional drying program. The load in the clothing processing chamber is, for example, a small load such as socks, scarves, or baby clothes, and then the preset drying program is executed.

[0067] In this embodiment, the preset drying program is, for example, a low-load drying program. The drying parameters such as rotation speed and drying time of the preset drying program may differ from those of a conventional drying program. The drying parameters of the preset drying program can be set according to the usage of the garment processing equipment, and this embodiment does not limit this setting.

[0068] Clothing processing equipment may include, for example, dryers, washer-dryer combos, etc., but this disclosure does not limit the scope of the embodiments.

[0069] This embodiment of the present disclosure adjusts the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber when the detection data of the detection device reaches the first preset condition in the first time period, and executes a preset drying program when the detection data of the detection device does not reach the first preset condition in the second time period. This avoids the problem that the detection device cannot contact the load due to the movement trajectory of the load, which would result in low accuracy of the detection device in judging the dryness of the load, or even misjudgment as an empty load. This improves the accuracy of the detection device in judging the dryness of the load.

[0070] Optionally, adjusting the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber based on the detection data of the detection device reaching a first preset condition within a first time period includes: adjusting the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber based on the detection data of the detection device reaching the first preset condition within the period from the start of drying to the first time point.

[0071] For example, the detection device can perform data detection from the start of drying to a first time point. The start time point is, for example, the initial time point when the user clicks the drying button to start the rotation of the clothing processing chamber. The first time point is a time point in the early stage of the entire drying process, such as within 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or 60 seconds after the start of drying. Thus, by performing data detection in the early stage of drying, and based on the detection data within the first time point meeting a first preset condition, the device can determine whether the clothing processing chamber is in an empty load state or whether the movement trajectory of the load at the current rotation speed of the clothing processing chamber prevents the detection device from contacting the load, thereby adjusting the drying program in a timely manner to ensure the drying effect.

[0072] Optionally, if the detection data of the detection device in the second time period does not meet the first preset condition, a preset drying program is executed, including: if the detection data of the detection device in the period from the first time node to the second time node does not meet the first preset condition, a preset drying program is executed.

[0073] For example, the detection device can perform data detection between a first time point and a second time point, both of which are time points in the early stage of the entire drying process. Thus, by performing data detection in the early stage of drying and based on the fact that the detection data in the second time point does not meet a first preset condition, it is possible to determine whether the garment processing chamber is in an empty-load state in the early stage of drying, thereby enabling timely adjustment of the drying program to ensure the drying effect.

[0074] In some embodiments, the drying start time is t0, the first time node is t1, and the second time node is t2. During the time period from t0 to t1, the detection device performs data detection. Based on the detection data meeting the first preset condition, the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber is adjusted. During the time period from t1 to t2, the detection device performs data detection. Based on the detection data not meeting the first preset condition, a preset drying program is executed.

[0075] Optionally, adjusting the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber based on the detection data of the detection device reaching the first preset condition within a first time period includes: controlling the garment processing chamber to increase to a first rotation speed after stopping, based on the detection data of the detection device reaching the first preset condition within a first time period; wherein, the first rotation speed is less than the load-on-wall rotation speed; and the second time period is at least a portion of the time period during which the garment processing chamber increases to the first rotation speed after stopping.

[0076] For example, when the detection data from the detection device within the first time period reaches the first preset condition, it indicates that the load inside the garment processing chamber is dry, or that at the current rotational speed of the garment processing chamber, the load's trajectory is, for example, a regular falling motion, causing the detection device to be unable to contact the load. The garment processing chamber is then controlled to stop rotating, for example, the motor is controlled to stop rotating. After the garment processing chamber stops rotating, the rotational speed is increased to the first speed. For example, since the motor drives the garment processing chamber to rotate, the motor can be controlled to increase from the lowest rotational speed to the rotational speed corresponding to the first speed of the garment processing chamber. The first speed should be less than the load's wall-hugging speed to avoid the problem of the load moving along a fixed trajectory and being unable to contact the detection device.

[0077] In addition, the second time is set to at least a portion of the time period after the clothes processing chamber stops rotating and then increases to the first rotation speed. For example, a preset drying program can be executed if the detection data of the drying parameters during the entire time period after the clothes processing chamber stops rotating and then increases to the first rotation speed does not meet the first preset condition; or a preset drying program can be executed if the detection data of the drying parameters during a portion of the time period after the clothes processing chamber stops rotating and then increases to the first rotation speed does not meet the first preset condition. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0078] Therefore, by controlling the rotation of the garment processing chamber to increase to a first rotation speed after it stops, and the first rotation speed being less than the rotation speed at which the load adheres to the wall, the load with a small load capacity is prevented from moving along a fixed trajectory. During at least a portion of the time period after the garment processing chamber stops and the rotation speed is increased to the first rotation speed, the movement trajectory of the load can change, allowing the detection device to come into contact with the load, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection device in judging the dryness of the load.

[0079] Optionally, adjusting the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber based on the detection data of the detection device reaching the first preset condition within a first time period includes: adjusting the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber to a second rotation speed based on the detection data of the detection device reaching the first preset condition within a first time period; wherein the second rotation speed is different from the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber within the first time period; the second time period is at least a portion of the time period during which the garment processing chamber adjusts from the current rotation speed to the second rotation speed, or the second time period is at least a portion of the time period during which the garment processing chamber maintains the second rotation speed.

[0080] For example, if the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber in the first time period is, for example, the rotation speed corresponding to a conventional drying program, it indicates that the load in the garment processing chamber is already dry, or that at the current rotation speed of the garment processing chamber, the trajectory of the load is, for example, a regular falling motion, causing the detection device to be unable to contact the load. At this time, the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber is adjusted to a second rotation speed, which is different from the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber in the first time period. The trajectory of the load in the second time period is different from the trajectory of the load in the first time period, enabling the load to contact the detection device and improving the accuracy of the detection device in detecting the dryness of the load.

[0081] In some embodiments, the second time is set to at least a portion of the time period during which the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber is adjusted from the first time period to the second rotation speed. For example, a preset drying program can be executed if the detection data of the drying parameters during the entire time period during which the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber is adjusted from the first time period to the second rotation speed does not meet the first preset condition; or a preset drying program can be executed if the detection data of the drying parameters during a portion of the time period during which the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber is adjusted from the first time period to the second rotation speed does not meet the first preset condition. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0082] In other embodiments, the second time period is, for example, at least a portion of the time during which the garment processing chamber maintains the second rotational speed. For instance, the garment processing chamber is controlled to continuously rotate at the second rotational speed, and a preset drying program is executed if the detection data from the detection device does not meet a first preset condition during the entire time period in which the garment processing chamber rotates at the second rotational speed. Alternatively, the preset drying program can be executed if the detection data of the drying parameters during the portion of the time period in which the garment processing chamber maintains the second rotational speed does not meet the first preset condition. Because the second rotational speed is different from the first rotational speed, controlling the garment processing chamber to continuously rotate at the second rotational speed can also make the movement trajectory of the load within the garment processing chamber different from the movement trajectory of the load during the first time period, allowing the detection device to contact the load and improving the accuracy of the detection device in detecting the dryness of the load.

[0083] Optionally, adjusting the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber to a second rotation speed based on the detection data of the detection device reaching a first preset condition within a first time period includes: reducing the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber to a second rotation speed based on the detection data of the detection device reaching the first preset condition within a first time period; wherein the second rotation speed is less than the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber within a first time period.

[0084] For example, if the rotational speed of the garment processing chamber in the first time period is, for example, the rotational speed corresponding to a conventional drying program, it indicates that the load in the garment processing chamber is already dry, or that at the current rotational speed of the garment processing chamber, the trajectory of the load is, for example, a regular falling motion, causing the load to be unable to contact the detection device. From the motion characteristics of the load, it is known that the higher the rotational speed of the garment processing chamber, the greater the probability of the load rotating against the wall, and the easier it is for the load to make a regular falling motion, making it even less likely to contact the detection device. Therefore, reducing the rotational speed of the garment processing chamber to a second rotational speed, which is lower than the rotational speed of the garment processing chamber in the first time period, makes the trajectory of the load different from that in the first time period, reducing the probability of the load making a regular falling motion, making it easier for the load to contact the detection device, and improving the accuracy of the detection device in detecting the dryness of the load.

[0085] Optionally, the control method for the garment processing equipment further includes: determining to execute a conventional drying program based on the detection data of the detection device within a first time period not meeting a first preset condition.

[0086] Specifically, if the detection data from the detection device in the first time does not meet the first preset condition, it indicates that the load in the garment processing chamber is a humid load, and then the regular drying program can be executed.

[0087] For example, within the first time T1, the detection data of the detection device is, for example, the conductivity value Da1. The conductivity value Da1 can be the maximum value within the first time T1. The preset drying parameter is, for example, the conductivity value DG. That is, when Da1 is greater than or equal to DG within the first time T1, or when at least one conductivity value Da1 is greater than or equal to the conductivity value DG in the detection data of the detection device within the first time T1, a conventional drying procedure is executed.

[0088] Optionally, the control method for the garment processing equipment further includes: determining the no-load state based on the detection data of the detection device reaching a first preset condition in a second time period.

[0089] Specifically, if the detection data of the detection device in the second time period reaches the first preset condition, it means that even if the rotation speed of the clothing processing chamber is adjusted, the detection device does not come into contact with the load. Therefore, it is determined that there is no load in the clothing processing chamber, which is an empty load state.

[0090] For example, during the second time T2, the detection data of the detection device is, for example, the conductivity value Da2. The conductivity value Da2 can be the maximum value during the second time T2. The preset drying parameter is, for example, the conductivity value DG. That is, during the second time T2, when Da2 is less than DG, it is determined that there is no load in the clothing processing chamber and it is in an empty load state.

[0091] Optionally, after determining that the state is no load, the method may also include: generating a no load notification message, and / or controlling the garment processing equipment to stop within a preset time.

[0092] Specifically, after determining the no-load state, to ensure users are promptly informed of the drying status, a no-load prompt message can be generated, thereby improving the user experience. For example, the display component on the garment processing equipment can be controlled to emit light, such as flashing or continuous light, to indicate that there is no load in the garment processing chamber; the display component can also display an image, which may include the no-load prompt text and other informative content; alternatively, the sound prompt component on the garment processing equipment can be controlled to emit an audible prompt to indicate that there is no load in the garment processing chamber.

[0093] After determining that the garment processing equipment is in an unloaded state, it can be controlled to shut down within a preset time. The preset time can be 0 minutes, in which case the equipment will stop immediately upon determining that it is in an unloaded state, thus improving its efficiency. Alternatively, the preset time can be T3 minutes, where T3 is not equal to 0, meaning that after determining that it is in an unloaded state, the equipment will be shut down after a certain period of time. This reduces the power consumption of the garment processing equipment and avoids the waste of power caused by the equipment continuing to run in an unloaded state.

[0096] S302, Control the rotation of the garment processing chamber.

[0097] S303. Obtain the detection data from the detection device within the first time period.

[0098] S304. Determine whether the detection data of the detection device in the first time period meets the first preset condition; if yes, proceed to step 305; if no, proceed to step 310.

[0099] S305, Control the garment processing chamber to stop rotating.

[0100] S306, Control the garment processing chamber to rise to the first rotation speed.

[0101] S307. Acquire the detection data of the detection device in the second time period.

[0102] S308. Determine whether the detection data of the detection device in the second time period meets the first preset condition; if yes, proceed to step 311; if no, proceed to step 309.

[0103] S309. Execute the preset drying program.

[0104] S310, Perform the standard drying procedure.

[0105] S311. Generate an empty load notification message and / or control the garment processing equipment to stop within a preset time.

[0106] The control method for the garment processing equipment provided in this embodiment adjusts the rotation speed of the garment processing chamber when the detection data of the detection device reaches the first preset condition in the first time period, and executes a preset drying program when the detection data of the detection device does not reach the first preset condition in the second time period. This avoids the problem that the detection device cannot contact the load due to the movement trajectory of the load, resulting in low accuracy of the detection device in judging the dryness of the load, or even misjudging it as an empty load. This improves the accuracy of the detection device in judging the dryness of the load.
