Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electrical equipment technology, specifically relating to a garment processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, when a garment processing device with a dual-drum and drying function is running, the washing programs executed by the two drums may be inconsistent when both drums are running simultaneously. For example, one drum may perform the washing and shaping process while the other drum performs the drying process. However, since the two drums share a drying component, the timing at which the drying component of the garment processing device provides drying airflow to the two drums is also inconsistent. The airflow distribution of the drying component of the garment processing device is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a garment processing device designed to at least partially solve the airflow distribution of the drying components, in order to adapt to the operating conditions of the two drums of the garment processing device.

[0004] This application provides a garment processing device comprising: a first cylinder and a second cylinder arranged in parallel; a drying component; a ventilation duct including a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a third connecting portion, wherein the first connecting portion of the ventilation duct is connected to the first cylinder, the second connecting portion of the ventilation duct is connected to the second cylinder, and the third connecting portion of the ventilation duct is connected to the drying component; the ventilation duct has a communicating air inlet, a first air outlet, and a second air outlet; and a valve plate rotatably disposed within the ventilation duct to adjust the airflow of the first air outlet and the second air outlet.

[0005] The clothing processing equipment provided in this application has a ventilation duct with a connected air inlet, a first air outlet, and a second air outlet. The drying airflow generated by the drying component can enter the ventilation duct through the air inlet and then enter the corresponding drum through the air outlet to dry the clothes inside the drum. Since the valve plate is rotatably installed in the ventilation duct, the airflow of the first air outlet and the second air outlet can be adjusted by rotating the valve plate to introduce the drying airflow into the drum that performs the drying program, or to block the introduction of the drying airflow into the drum that performs other programs, so as to meet the airflow distribution of the drying component.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] Traditionally, a washing machine is a household appliance used to wash clothes. However, as living standards have improved, consumers' demands for washing machines have increased. Different sizes, types, and materials of clothing require different washing environments. Therefore, twin-tub washing machines have been introduced to the market, allowing a single machine to wash different types of clothing.

[0033] In related technologies, when a garment processing device with a dual-drum and drying function is running, the washing programs executed by the two drums may be inconsistent when both drums are running simultaneously. For example, one drum may perform the washing and shaping process while the other drum performs the drying process. However, since the two drums share a drying component, the timing at which the drying component of the garment processing device provides drying airflow to the two drums is also inconsistent. The airflow distribution of the drying component of the garment processing device is a technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0034] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a ventilation duct, which aims to solve the airflow distribution of the drying component to at least a certain extent, so as to adapt to the operation of the two drums of the clothing processing equipment.

[0035] The design concept of this application is as follows: An airflow distribution component connects the drying component and two drums of a garment processing device. When both drums are executing a drying program, the airflow distribution component is controlled in a first operating state, allowing the drying component to communicate with both drums, and the drying airflow generated by the drying component is delivered to both drums. When one drum is executing a drying program, the airflow distribution component is controlled in a second operating state, allowing the drying component to communicate with the drum executing the drying program, while isolating the drying component from the other drum, and the drying airflow generated by the drying component is delivered to the drum executing the drying program. Based on this design concept, and through the attached... Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 The specific details of the airflow distribution components are further described.

[0036] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the airflow distribution component in a garment handling device is shown. Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the explosion. Combined with... Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The airflow distribution component 10 provided in this application includes a valve body 100. The valve body 100 has a communicating air inlet 101, a first air outlet 102, and a second air outlet 103. The first air outlet 102 is connected to the first cylinder 40a, and the second air outlet is connected to the second cylinder 40b. The drying airflow generated by the drying component 30 is injected into the valve body 100 through the air inlet 101, and then led out of the first cylinder 40a through the first air outlet 102, and led out of the second cylinder 40b through the second air outlet 103. Therefore, when the cylinder 40 is in different operating programs, opening or closing the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 connected to the cylinder 40 can introduce the drying airflow into the cylinder 40 performing the drying program, or block the introduction of the drying airflow into the cylinder 40 performing other programs.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 According to one embodiment of this application, the air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 are located on the same side of the valve body 100. The air inlet 101 is located at the top of one side of the valve body 100, and the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 are located on both sides of the bottom of the same side of the valve body 100. The air inlet 101 is located above the area between the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103, so that the air inlet 101 and the two air outlets 103 are arranged approximately opposite to each other. The air inlet 101 forms two airflow directions with the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 respectively. The drying airflow generated by the drying component 30 is introduced into the corresponding cylinder 40 through the air inlet 101, the first air outlet 102 or the second air outlet 103 to dry the clothes in the cylinder 40.

[0038] Combination Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 According to one embodiment of this application, the airflow distribution component 10 further includes a valve plate 200, which can rotate within the valve body 100. During the rotation of the valve plate 200, the valve plate 200 abuts against the inner side wall of the valve body 100 to disconnect the air inlet 101 from the first air outlet 102 or the second air outlet 103, thereby introducing the drying airflow into the cylinder 40 that performs the drying process, or blocking the introduction of the drying airflow into the cylinder 40 that performs other processes, so as to satisfy the airflow distribution of the drying component 30.

[0039] When the valve plate 200 rotates and abuts against the inner wall of the valve body 100 near the first air outlet 102, the air inlet 101 and the second air outlet 103 are connected, and the air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 102 are separated. The drying airflow generated by the drying module 20 is introduced into the second cylinder 40b through the air inlet 101 and the second air outlet 103. When the valve plate 200 rotates and abuts against the inner wall of the ventilation duct 200 near the second air outlet 103, the air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 102 are connected, and the air inlet 101 and the second air outlet 103 are separated. The drying airflow generated by the drying module 20 is introduced into the first cylinder 40a through the air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 102.

[0040] Furthermore, by controlling the rotation angle of the valve plate 200 within the valve body 100, the airflow channels of the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet can also be adjusted. For example, when the valve plate 200 is in the middle position between the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103, the airflow introduced from the air inlet 102 is evenly distributed to the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 for outflow; when the valve plate 200 rotates towards the first air outlet 102, the passage between the air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 102 is reduced, thereby reducing the airflow at the first air outlet 102 and increasing the airflow at the second air outlet 103; conversely, when the valve plate 200 rotates towards the second air outlet 103, the passage between the air inlet 101 and the second air outlet 103 is reduced, thereby reducing the airflow at the second air outlet 103 and increasing the airflow at the first air outlet 102.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 According to one embodiment of this application, the valve body 100 can be assembled from a first housing 105 and a second housing 106 to form a columnar structure, which facilitates the assembly of internal components of the valve body 100. To prevent the drying airflow from overflowing, a sealing element (not shown) can be provided between the side walls of the first housing 105 and the second housing 106.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 as well as Figure 2According to one embodiment of this application, the airflow distribution component 10 further includes a drive member 300, which is connected to the outer side of the side of the valve body 100. The drive member 300 can be a motor and has a rotating output shaft. The output shaft of the drive member 300 is connected to the connecting shaft 202 of the valve plate 200 to drive the valve plate 200 to reciprocate within the airflow distribution component 101.

[0043] Figure 3 It shows Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the interior of the first housing 105 of the airflow distribution component 10. (Combined with...) Figure 3 According to one embodiment of this application, two air outlets 103 are disposed on both sides of the bottom of the side of the valve body 100, and an air inlet 101 is disposed in the middle area of ​​the top of the side of the valve body 100, thereby forming two air-guiding directions in a figure-eight shape; a mounting part 104 for connecting the valve plate 200 is disposed in the area between the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103, and is disposed opposite to the air inlet 101; the bottom of the valve plate 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting part 104, and the top of the valve plate 200 extends toward the air inlet 101. When both cylinders 40 are performing the drying program, the valve plate 200 stands vertically inside the airflow distribution component 101, and the airflow distribution component 10 is in the first working state. When only one cylinder 40 is performing the drying program, the valve plate 200 is rotated and tilted, and abuts against the side wall of the airflow distribution component 101 to disconnect the air inlet 101 from the first air outlet 102 or the second air outlet 103 of the cylinder 40. The drying airflow generated by the drying component 30 is delivered to the cylinder 40 performing the drying program, and the airflow distribution component 10 is in the second working state.

[0044] Combination Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 According to one embodiment of this application, the mounting portion 104 in the airflow distribution member 101 is disposed in the area between the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103. The length dimension of the valve plate 200 is greater than the distance between the mounting portion 104 and the side wall in the width direction of the airflow distribution member 101, so that when the valve plate 200 is tilted and rotated, it can abut against the side wall in the width direction of the airflow distribution member 101, thereby cutting off the communication between the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 103 on the same side of the valve plate 200.

[0045] Figure 4 It shows Figure 2 The structural diagram of valve plate 200 in the diagram, combined with Figures 2-4According to one embodiment of this application, a support hole 107 is provided on one side wall of the mounting part 104 (the side wall of the first housing 105), and a through hole 108 is provided on the other side of the mounting part 104 (the side wall of the second housing 106). Correspondingly, a support shaft 201 is provided on one side of the valve plate 200, and a connecting shaft 202 is provided on the other side of the valve plate 200. The support shaft 201 is rotatably connected to the support hole 107 of the mounting part 104, and the connecting shaft 202 is rotatably passed through the through hole 108 for connection with a drive member 300 disposed outside the valve body 100. Bearings or copper sleeves may be provided between the support shaft 201 and the support hole 107 or / and between the connecting shaft 202 and the through hole 108 to improve the smoothness of the rotation of the valve plate 200.

[0046] Combination Figure 4 According to one embodiment of this application, the valve plate 200 is generally plate-shaped and is disposed between the two axial ends of the airflow distribution member 101. Wear-resistant parts (not shown) may be provided on the sides of the valve plate 200 facing the two axial ends of the airflow distribution member 101. The wear-resistant parts may be elastic to elastically compensate for the wear of the valve plate 200 during use, ensure the sealing between the side walls of the valve plate 200 and the two axial ends of the airflow distribution member 101, and prevent the drying airflow from leaking into the cylinder 40 that performs other processes through the side walls of the valve plate 200 and the two axial ends of the airflow distribution member 101.

[0047] Based on the above design concept, in a second aspect of this application, this application also provides a garment processing device. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the garment processing device according to one or more embodiments of this application is shown, and 6 shows... Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure after removing the protective cover. Figure 7 It shows Figure 6 A structural diagram from another perspective. Combined with... Figures 5-7 The garment processing equipment includes a base 20, a drying component 30, a ventilation duct 100, and a first drum 40a and a second drum 40b. The first drum 40a and the second drum 40b are horizontally connected side-by-side to the base 20. The ventilation duct 100 includes a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a third connecting portion. The first connecting portion of the ventilation duct 100 connects to the first drum, the second connecting portion connects to the second drum, and the third connecting portion connects to the drying component. That is, the airflow generated during the operation of the drying component is distributed to the first drum 40a and the second drum 40b through the ventilation duct 100 to dry the garments inside the first drum 40a and the second drum 40b.

[0048] Combination Figures 5-7The third connection of the ventilation duct 100 can be the valve body 100 mentioned above. The air inlet 101 of the valve body 100 is connected to the outlet of the drying component 30. The first connection of the ventilation duct 100 can be the first air outlet 102 of the valve body 100, that is, the first air outlet 102 of the valve body 100 is connected to the first cylinder 40a. The second connection of the ventilation duct 100 can be the second air outlet 102 of the valve body 100, that is, the second air outlet 103 of the valve body 100 is connected to the second cylinder 40b. The drying airflow generated by the drying component 30 can enter the ventilation duct 1000 through the air inlet 101, and then enter the first cylinder 40a through the first air outlet 102 and the second cylinder 40b through the second air outlet 103. In another embodiment, the first air outlet 102 of the valve body 100 is connected to the first cylinder 40a through the first air outlet pipe, and the second air outlet 103 of the valve body 100 is connected to the second cylinder 40b through the second air outlet pipe. The first connecting pipe is the first connecting part of the ventilation pipe 100, and the first connecting pipe is the second connecting part of the ventilation pipe 100.

[0049] Since the valve plate 200 is rotatably connected within the valve body, i.e., the ventilation duct 100, the valve plate 200 can be controlled to rotate within the ventilation duct 100 to open or close the connection between the drying component 30 and the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b. This allows for the introduction of drying airflow into at least one of the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b performing the drying process, or the blocking of drying airflow from being introduced into the first cylinder 40a or the second cylinder 40b performing other processes, thus satisfying the airflow distribution of the drying component 30. Now, by way of the appendix... Figure 5 -Appendix Figure 9 The details of the garment processing equipment with ventilation duct 100 are further described.

[0050] Combination Figure 5 According to one embodiment of this application, a protective cover 80 is provided on the base 20, and the protective cover 80 covers the first cylinder 40 and the second cylinder 40 to protect the overall appearance of the product.

[0051] Combination Figure 6 According to one embodiment of this application, the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b are arranged side by side on the base 20 via corresponding mounting brackets 50. The inlets of the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b are both inclined upwards to facilitate users to deposit clothing. The sides of the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b are connected by a connecting bracket 60. The connecting bracket 60 can be a frame structure to enhance the integrity between the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b, reduce the vibration of at least one of the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b during operation, and improve the user experience.

[0052] Combination Figure 7According to one embodiment of this application, the drying component 30 is disposed between the first drum 40a and the second drum 40b to utilize the space between the first drum 40a and the second drum 40b, which facilitates the miniaturization of the garment processing equipment. Furthermore, when both the first drum 40a and the second drum 40b are performing drying processes, the airflow output by the drying component 30 is distributed by the ventilation duct 100 to provide approximately the same air intake volume. In a specific implementation, the drying component 30 can be mounted on the top of the connecting bracket 60.

[0053] Figure 8 It shows Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the drying component 30. (Combined with...) Figure 8 In one embodiment, the drying component 30 includes an air-drawing component 301 and a heating component 302. The air-drawing component 301 is connected to the air inlet 101 of the ventilation duct 1000 via an air-drawing pipe 303. The heating component 302 can be a heating plate or a heating wire. The heating component 302 is disposed within the air-drawing pipe 303, that is, upstream of the air-drawing component 301. When the drying component 30 is in operation, the air-drawing component 301 introduces airflow into the air-drawing pipe 303, and after being heated by the heating component 302, the generated dry airflow is input into the ventilation duct 100, and then distributed by the ventilation duct 100 to the cylinder 40 where the drying process is executed. In another embodiment, the heating component 302 may also be disposed upstream of the air-drawing component 301.

[0054] Figure 9 It shows Figure 7 The diagram shows a structural schematic of the garment processing device removing the second housing 106. (Combined with...) Figure 9 According to one embodiment of this application, the backs of the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b are located or approximately located on the same vertical plane. The ventilation duct 1000 of the ventilation duct 100 can be integrally formed or rigidly connected between the backs of the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b by means of screws or the like. The air inlet of the ventilation duct 1000 is higher than the top of the connecting bracket 60, and the air inlet 101 is opened on the air inlet to shorten the length of the air duct 303, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the clothing processing equipment. In a specific implementation, the air inlet 101 can be set in the middle area of ​​the top of the side of the ventilation duct 1000 facing the cylinder 40.

[0055] Combination Figure 9In one embodiment, the ventilation duct 1000 has an air outlet portion that is in contact with at least a portion of the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b. A first air outlet 102 and a second air outlet 103 are disposed on the air outlet portion of the ventilation duct 1000 to introduce the drying airflow flowing out of the ventilation duct 1000 into at least one of the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b to dry clothes. Since the air outlet portion of the ventilation duct 1000 is in contact with the back of the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b, the ventilation duct 1000 can be fixedly mounted to the back of the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b, and the pipes connecting the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 of the ventilation duct 1000 to the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b can be omitted, simplifying the structure and facilitating the miniaturization of the clothes processing equipment. In another embodiment, the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 of the ventilation duct 100 can also be connected to the periphery of the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b, and this application does not limit this.

[0056] Combination Figure 9 In one embodiment, the ventilation duct 1000 has two air outlets on its bottom sides facing the cylinder 40. Both air outlets are integrally perforated to serve as the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 of the ventilation duct 1000, thereby improving the airflow efficiency. In another embodiment, the two air outlets may also be partially perforated to serve as the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 of the ventilation duct 1000; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0057] Combination Figure 9 The ventilation duct 1000 has a recessed area in the middle of its bottom side. The inner wall of the recess is configured as a mounting part 104, which is located directly below the air inlet. One side of the valve plate 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting part 104, and the other side of the valve plate 200 extends towards the top of the ventilation duct 1001. The recessed mounting part 104 provides space for the garment processing equipment to install other components (such as drainage modules), thereby making reasonable use of the internal space and facilitating the miniaturization of the garment processing equipment.

[0058] Combination Figure 9According to one embodiment of this application, the garment processing equipment further includes a temperature sensor 70, which is correspondingly disposed with the drum 40 to detect and acquire the real-time temperature inside the corresponding drum 40. The temperature sensor 70 acquires the real-time temperature inside the corresponding drum 40 and controls the valve plate 200 to rotate based on the real-time temperature inside the drum 40, thereby adjusting the airflow of the air inlet 104 to input different amounts of drying airflow into the drum 40 that is performing the drying program, so as to ensure the temperature inside the drum 40 and improve the drying efficiency. In one embodiment, the temperature sensor 70 is disposed at the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 of the ventilation duct 1000, or the temperature sensor 70 is disposed inside the first drum 40a and the second drum 40b. This application does not limit this, and the specific control method can be referred to the description below.

[0059] Combination Figure 9 In one embodiment, exhaust vents 401 are provided on the periphery of both cylinders 40. The exhaust vents 401 are positioned as far away from the back of the cylinders 40 as possible to extend the flow path of the drying airflow within the cylinders 40 and improve the drying effect of the clothes. In another embodiment, the exhaust vents 401 can also be located close to the back of the cylinders 40 to ensure the reliability and safety of the clothes handling equipment during operation. In specific implementation, the position of the exhaust vents 401 can be reasonably set according to factors such as the axial length of the cylinders and the output power of the drying components.

[0060] Based on the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, in a second aspect of this application, this application also provides a control method for the garment processing equipment. Figure 10 This invention illustrates a flow chart of a control method for a garment processing device, in conjunction with... Figure 10 The garment handling equipment includes the aforementioned ventilation duct 100, and the control method includes:

[0061] S1: Obtain the washing program executed by each drum 40, that is, obtain the washing program executed by the first drum 40a and the second drum 40b;

[0062] S2: Determine whether each cylinder 40 has executed a drying program, i.e., determine whether the first cylinder 40a and the second cylinder 40b have executed a drying program;

[0063] S3: When one of the cylinders 40 is performing a drying program, the control valve plate 200 rotates towards the cylinder 40 performing other programs. The valve plate 200 abuts against the inner wall of the ventilation duct 1000, cutting off the connection between the air inlet 101 and the cylinder 40 performing other programs. The air inlet 101 is connected to the cylinder 40 performing the drying program, that is, the drying component 20 is connected to the cylinder 40 performing the drying program, and the drying component 20 delivers drying airflow to the cylinder 40 performing the drying program; for example: when the first cylinder The first cylinder 40a performs a drying program, while the second cylinder 40a performs other programs. The valve plate 200 rotates toward the second cylinder 40. The valve plate 200 abuts against the inner wall of the ventilation duct 1000, which is close to the second cylinder 40b. The valve plate 200 disconnects the air inlet 101 from the second cylinder 40b. The air inlet 101 connects to the first cylinder 40a performing the drying program. That is, the drying component 20 connects to the first cylinder 40a performing the drying program. The drying component 20 delivers drying airflow to the first cylinder 40a performing the drying program.

[0064] S4: When both cylinders 40 are executing the drying program, the control valve plate 200 is rotated. The valve plate 200 rotates to the position between the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103. The air inlet 101 is connected to both the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103, so that the drying component 20 is connected to the two cylinders 40. The drying component 20 delivers drying airflow to both cylinders 40.

[0065] S5: When neither of the two cylinders 40 is executing the drying program, control the drying component 20 to stop operating.

[0066] The control method for the clothing processing equipment provided in this application obtains the washing program executed by the drum 40. If it is determined that the drum 40 is executing a drying program, the control valve plate 200 is rotated so that the drying component 20 is connected to the drum 40 executing the drying program. The drying component 20 outputs drying airflow to the drum 40 executing the drying program. The drying component 20 is not connected to the drum 40 executing other programs, and the drying component cannot output drying airflow to the drum 40 executing other programs, so that the clothing processing equipment can operate normally.

[0067] Figure 11 A logical diagram of the garment processing device provided in this application is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 11 The garment processing equipment includes a controller 90, which is connected to a second temperature sensor 70 and a drive unit 400 of a ventilation duct 100, respectively, to obtain the temperature inside the corresponding drum 40 based on the temperature sensor 70, and then control the valve plate 200 to perform corresponding actions.

[0068] According to one embodiment of this application, obtaining the washing program executed by each drum 40 specifically includes: based on the washing program selected by the user, the controller 90 can confirm the specific washing program executed by the drum 40 at a certain stage.

[0069] According to one embodiment of this application, determining whether each drum 40 is executing a drying program specifically includes: based on the washing program selected by the user, the controller 90 can confirm that one drum 40 is executing a drying program, the other drum 40 is executing another program, or both drums 40 are executing a drying program, or neither drum 40 is executing a drying program, etc. Then, based on the confirmed drum washing conditions, the controller 90 controls the ventilation duct 100 to be in the corresponding working state, that is, to execute one of the subsequent steps S2-S5. For details, please refer to the relevant description above, which will not be repeated here.

[0070] Combination Figure 11 Since each temperature sensor 70 is connected to the controller 90, the temperature sensor 70 obtains the real-time temperature inside the corresponding cylinder 40 and sends the real-time temperature inside the cylinder 40 to the controller 90. The controller 90 controls the valve plate 200 to rotate according to the received real-time temperature inside the cylinder 40, and adjusts the airflow at the air outlet 103 of the ventilation duct 1000 to input different amounts of drying airflow into the two cylinders 40, so as to ensure the temperature inside the cylinder 40 and improve the drying efficiency.

[0071] in addition, Figure 10 The control method shown also includes:

[0072] S41: When both cylinders 40 are executing the drying program, the real-time temperature inside each cylinder 40 is obtained. The controller 90 can read the temperature sensor 70 inside each cylinder 40 to obtain the real-time temperature inside each cylinder 40.

[0073] S42: Controller 90 determines whether the real-time temperature of each cylinder 40 is lower than the set temperature;

[0074] S43: When the real-time temperature of a drum 40 is lower than the set temperature, the control valve plate 200 is activated. The valve plate 200 rotates away from the drum 40 with a higher real-time temperature to increase the airflow into the drum 40 with a lower real-time temperature, so that the real-time temperature inside the corresponding drum 40 rises to the set temperature, ensuring the efficiency of drying clothes in the drum 40. For example, when the real-time temperature inside the first drum 40a is lower than the set temperature, the valve plate 200 rotates and tilts towards the second drum 40b. The distance between the top of the valve plate 200 and the inner wall of the ventilation duct 1000 near the second drum 40a increases, thereby increasing the airflow into the drum 40 with a real-time temperature lower than the set temperature.

[0075] S44: When the real-time temperature of both drums 40 is lower than the set temperature, the drying component 20 is controlled to increase its power and deliver a higher temperature drying airflow to the two drums 40 so that the real-time temperature inside the two drums 40 rises to the set temperature, ensuring the efficiency of drying clothes in the two drums 40.

[0076] The control method for the garment processing equipment provided in this application can balance the output power of the drying component 20 and the drying efficiency of the drum 40, that is, while ensuring the drying efficiency of the drum 40, it achieves the technical effect of energy saving and has good practicality.

[0077] In summary, the ventilation duct, clothing processing equipment and control method provided in this application can solve the airflow distribution of the drying components to adapt to the operation of the two drums 40 of the clothing processing equipment, and can adapt to and adjust the real-time temperature changes of the two drums 40, which has great practical value.
