[0077] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0080] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0081] First, some terms used in the embodiments of this utility model will be explained to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

[0082] The Inter-Integrated Serial Bus (I2C) is a synchronous serial bus with a multi-master-slave architecture. This bus requires only a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL) to enable communication between multiple devices.

[0083] The Serial Peripheral Interface Bus (SPI) is a high-speed, full-duplex, synchronous communication bus that typically consists of four lines: Master Output / Slave Input (MOSI), Master Input / Slave Output (MISO), Serial Clock (SCK), and Chip Select (SS).

[0084] The Controller Area Network Bus (CAN bus) uses differential signal transmission and communicates data through two lines (CAN_H and CAN_L). It supports multi-master communication mode, and each node on the bus can send and receive data equally.

[0085] ZigBee is a low-power, low-data-rate, low-cost, short-range wireless communication technology based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. It is mainly used for short-range wireless connections and is suitable for fields such as automatic control and remote control.

[0086] The above is a brief introduction to the terms involved in the embodiments of this utility model, and will not be repeated below.

[0087] As described in the background section, in modern life, washing machines, dryers, and other clothing processing equipment have become important helpers in people's daily lives, greatly improving the convenience of life.

[0088] Existing dryers are relatively simple in design, typically using preset fixed drying programs, lacking precise detection of clothing characteristics and washing programs. Because dryers cannot accurately obtain crucial information about the clothes placed inside, they cannot adjust the drying program according to the garment's characteristics during the drying process. This results in either over-drying, damaging the fabric and causing color fading, or under-drying, rendering the clothes unwearable immediately.

[0089] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in order to solve the above problems, according to an example of this utility model, an embodiment of this utility model provides a clothing processing device, including a first clothing processing device 101 and a second clothing processing device 102, wherein: the first clothing processing device 101 includes: a first control chip 201 and a first communication device 202. The second clothing processing device 102 includes: a second communication device 301 and a second display control component 302.

[0090] The first control chip 201 is connected to the first communication device 202 and is used to send the clothing parameter information and washing parameter information of the clothes to be washed to the second clothing processing device 102 via the first communication device 202.

[0091] The second communication device 301 is connected to the first communication device 202 and is used to receive clothing parameter information and washing parameter information.

[0092] The second display control component 302 is used to receive drying parameter information, and the second display control component 302 is also connected to the second communication device 301 for receiving clothing parameter information and washing parameter information, as well as displaying updated drying parameter information.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first garment handling device can be understood as a washing machine, and the second garment handling device can be understood as a dryer. In some embodiments, the washing machine and the dryer are connected side-by-side or stacked via connectors. This physical connection provides a relatively stable environment for communication and data transmission between the two devices, and facilitates user operation and management.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first control chip 201 in the first garment processing device 101 is connected to the first communication device 202, and the second communication device 301 in the second garment processing device 102 is communicatively connected to the first communication device 202.

[0095] In some embodiments, the first control chip 201 can be a high-performance microcontroller (MCU), such as an ARM series chip. Specifically, it can be installed on the control board of the washing machine. Various electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, are arranged around the first control chip 201 to form a stable circuit system. The first control chip 201 communicates with sensors (such as weight sensors, water level sensors, and temperature sensors) and actuators (such as motors, inlet valves, and drain valves) inside the washing machine through various communication interfaces (such as SPI, I2C, and UART) to achieve real-time monitoring and control of the washing machine's operating status.

[0096] The second display control component 302 in the second clothing handling device 102 is connected to the second communication device 301. It can receive clothing parameter information, washing parameter information and other data forwarded by the second communication device through communication interfaces such as serial peripheral interface SPI bus, serial communication I2C bus, and controller area network CAN bus, so that the second display control component 302 can update the received drying parameter information with clothing parameter information and washing parameter information.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first control chip 201 is used to record clothing parameter information (such as weight, moisture content, material, etc.) of the clothes being washed in the first clothing handling device 101, as well as washing parameter information selected by the user, such as washing mode (standard wash, quick wash, gentle wash, intensive wash, etc.), washing time, number of rinses, spin speed, etc. When the user selects a washing program on the first display panel in the first clothing handling device 101, the control chip receives and stores the washing parameter information.

[0098] In one embodiment, the weight information of the clothes can be detected by a weight sensor (such as a strain gauge load cell) installed at the bottom of the washing machine and the signal can be transmitted to the first control chip; the moisture content information of the clothes can be measured by a capacitive humidity sensor or a resistive humidity sensor; and the material information of the clothes can be obtained by a program selection detection circuit and material identification hardware (such as detecting the resistance, capacitance, and other characteristics of the clothes) inside the washing machine. In some embodiments, after the washing program of the first clothes handling device 101 is completed, the first control chip 201 sends the recorded clothes parameter information and washing parameter information to the second clothes handling device 102 via the first communication device 202 according to the agreed communication protocol.

[0099] The second communication device 301 in the second garment handling device 102 receives garment parameter information and washing parameter information from the first garment handling device. The second display control component 302 in the second garment handling device 102 is also used to receive drying parameter information selected by the user, or drying parameter information set by default by the second garment handling device, such as drying degree (light drying, medium drying, complete drying), drying mode (cold air drying, hot air drying, intelligent drying), drying temperature, drying air speed, etc.

[0100] As an example, users can input the drying parameters by clicking the touch buttons on the second display panel of the second display control component, by voice input, or by inputting the drying parameters from other smart home devices via network connection.

[0101] The second display control component 302 of the second garment processing device has computing power. The second display control component 302 is connected to the second communication device 301 and can run a drying parameter adjustment algorithm. Based on at least one of the received garment parameter information and washing parameter information, the drying parameter information is adjusted to obtain updated drying parameter information. In this way, the most suitable drying program, drying temperature and drying time and other drying parameter information can be determined.

[0102] In some embodiments, the second display control component 302 can adjust the drying parameters based on the clothing parameter information. For example, if the clothing parameter information is the material of the garment, such as cotton, cotton clothing is relatively thick and highly absorbent, generally requiring a higher drying temperature and a longer drying time. Correspondingly, the second display control component can adjust and set the drying temperature for cotton clothing to approximately 60℃-70℃, and the drying time to 60-90 minutes.

[0103] For example, if the clothing is made of silk, which is a delicate material and easily damaged by high temperatures, the drying temperature and time should be relatively low. Accordingly, the second display and control component can adjust the drying temperature of silk clothing to 30℃-40℃ and the drying time to 30-45 minutes.

[0104] For example, if the material information of the clothing is wool, since wool clothing cannot withstand high temperatures and is prone to shrinkage and deformation, the second display control component can adjust and set the drying temperature of the wool clothing to 40℃-50℃ and the drying time to 45-60 minutes.

[0105] In some embodiments, taking the weight of the garment as an example, a heavier garment indicates a higher moisture content, requiring a longer drying time and a relatively higher drying temperature to accelerate moisture evaporation. If the weight of the garment to be dried exceeds 5 kg, the second display control component can increase the drying temperature to 65°C-75°C and extend the drying time to 90-120 minutes. Conversely, for lighter garments (e.g., less than 2 kg), the second display control component can appropriately lower the drying temperature in the drying parameter information, such as to 45-55°C, and shorten the drying time to 30-60 minutes.

[0106] In some embodiments, the second display control component 302 can also adjust the drying parameters based on the washing parameters. Taking the washing mode as an example, if the washing mode is a heavy-duty wash, the clothes will have a higher water content and may be more wrinkled due to more vigorous agitation. In this case, the drying temperature can be appropriately increased, for example, by 5°C-10°C compared to the normal range (the normal drying temperature for cotton clothes is usually 60°C-70°C, and the normal drying temperature for wool clothes is usually 40°C-50°C, etc.), and the drying time can also be extended by 15-30 minutes.

[0107] For example, if the washing mode is a gentle wash, the clothes will be less damaged and have less moisture. The drying temperature can be kept at the lower limit of the normal range, and the drying time can be shortened by 10-20 minutes.

[0108] In some embodiments, taking washing parameters such as washing time as an example, a longer washing time will cause the clothes to absorb more water, and the drying temperature can be increased by 5°C-10°C, with the drying time extended by 20-40 minutes depending on the specific situation. If the washing time is short and the clothes have relatively less water content, the drying temperature can be reduced by about 5°C, and the drying time can be shortened by 10-15 minutes.

[0109] In some embodiments, taking washing temperature as an example, a higher washing temperature causes the clothing fibers to expand and absorb more water, requiring a higher temperature and longer drying time. For instance, if the washing temperature is above 40°C, the drying temperature can be increased to 65°C-75°C, and the drying time can be extended by 30-60 minutes compared to the initial time. If the washing temperature is low, for example, below 30°C, the clothing has a relatively low moisture content, and the drying temperature can be maintained at 50°C-60°C, with a drying time of 45-75 minutes.

[0110] In some embodiments, the second display control component 302 can also perform comprehensive analysis by combining clothing parameter information and washing parameter information to adjust the drying parameter information. For example, for a heavy cotton garment that has undergone a strong wash mode with a long washing time, the drying temperature can be adjusted and set to 70℃-75℃ and the drying time can be adjusted and set to 120-150 minutes; while for a light silk garment that has undergone a gentle wash with a short washing time, the drying temperature can be adjusted and set to 30-35 degrees Celsius and the drying time can be adjusted and set to 25-35 minutes, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the drying parameters and achieve the best drying effect.

[0111] The garment processing equipment provided by this utility model includes a first garment processing device and a second garment processing device. A first control chip in the first garment processing device is connected to a first communication device and is used to send garment parameter information and washing parameter information of the garments to the second garment processing device via the first communication device. A second communication device in the second garment processing device is communicatively connected to the first communication device and is used to receive garment parameter information and washing parameter information. A second display control component in the second garment processing device is used to receive drying parameter information. The second display control component is connected to the second communication device and is used to receive garment parameter information (e.g., weight, moisture content, material (e.g., cotton, silk, wool, etc.), degree of soiling, etc.) and washing parameter information (e.g., user-selected washing mode (e.g., standard wash, gentle wash, intensive wash), washing time, washing temperature, etc.). The second display control component can update the drying parameter information according to the garment parameter information and washing parameter information and display the updated drying parameter information (e.g., drying program, drying temperature, drying time, etc.).

[0112] In traditional garment processing, washing machines and dryers operate independently. The dryer cannot access detailed information about the clothes in the washing machine, forcing users to manually set drying parameters based on experience. This often results in poor drying performance, with over-drying damaging clothes or under-drying. The garment processing device provided by this invention allows the dryer to automatically adjust drying parameters based on the washing and garment parameters provided by the washing machine. This achieves better drying results, protecting clothes while increasing drying efficiency. Furthermore, the updated drying parameters are displayed on the control panel, providing users with clear information and improving user satisfaction.

[0113] In some embodiments, the first communication device and the second communication device each include at least one of a Wi-Fi communication module, a 5G communication module, a Bluetooth communication module, a distance wireless connection NFC module, a ZigBee module, and a USB direct connection communication module.

[0114] In one example, both the first communication device 202 and the second communication device 301 can integrate multiple communication modules, such as a Wi-Fi communication module, a 5G communication module, a Bluetooth communication module, a distance wireless connection NFC module, a ZigBee module, etc.

[0115] In some embodiments, the Wi-Fi communication module is typically connected to the first or second control chip via an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter) interface. In some embodiments, the 5G communication module is connected to an antenna supporting the 5G frequency band and to the control chip via a suitable interface (such as a PCIe interface). In some embodiments, the Bluetooth communication module is generally connected to the control chip via a UART or SPI interface. In some embodiments, the NFC (Near Field Communication) module consists of an antenna and a chip; the antenna is used to transmit and receive radio frequency signals, and the chip is responsible for processing data. In some embodiments, the USB Direct Communication module integrates a USB protocol processing circuit and is connected to the control chip via a corresponding interface (such as a USB Host or USB Device interface). The first and second clothing processing devices are each equipped with a standard USB interface and are connected via a USB cable.

[0116] It should be understood that different communication modules are suitable for different usage scenarios. For example, Wi-Fi and 5G communication modules are suitable for scenarios where devices need remote connection or high-speed data transmission; Bluetooth and NFC modules are suitable for short-range, fast connection scenarios; and USB direct connection modules are suitable for short-range connection scenarios where connection stability is required. Users can choose the appropriate communication method according to their actual needs, and this utility model example does not specifically limit this.

[0120] Sensor 204 is connected to the first control chip 201 and is also used to send clothing parameter information to the first control chip.

[0121] like Figure 3 As shown, the first clothing handling device 101 includes: a body 101a, which has a clothing inlet 101c; and a door 101b, which is connected to the body 101a and is used to open and close the clothing inlet 101c.

[0122] It should be noted that the second garment processing device 102, as well as other garment processing devices appearing in the following examples, can all adopt the above-described... Figure 3 The arrangement of the main body 101a and the door 101b shown is illustrated, but it is not limited thereto, and this utility model example does not specifically limit it.

[0123] In some embodiments, the first drum is installed inside the main body of the first garment handling device (washing machine). The first drum is specifically connected to the main body of the washing machine through mechanical components such as bearings to ensure smooth operation and stable rotation during the washing process, thereby performing a thorough and effective washing operation on the clothes. At the same time, the first drum has good sealing properties to prevent detergent leakage.

[0124] In some embodiments, the sensor can be of various types, connected to the first roller to accurately detect garment parameters. For example, a strain gauge load cell is installed at the bottom of the first roller or on its support structure to sense the deformation generated when the garment is loaded inside the first roller, and then converts this deformation into an electrical signal related to the weight of the garment. Another example is a capacitive or resistive humidity sensor installed inside the first roller near the garment, or in the air duct, to detect the moisture content of the garment in real time. Yet another example is a material identification sensor that identifies the material of the garment by detecting its resistance, capacitance, and other properties under specific conditions; this sensor can be installed on the wall of the first roller or near the garment inlet.

[0125] Furthermore, in this example, all sensors are connected to the first control chip via wires or other electrical connections, ensuring that the detected clothing parameter information can be accurately transmitted to the first control chip. It should be understood that in this example, the sensors' detection of parameters such as the weight, moisture content, and material of the clothing not only serves as the basis for the first clothing processing device (washing machine) to optimize the washing program, but also provides crucial information for the second clothing processing device (dryer) to optimize the drying program. By accurately acquiring clothing parameter information, precise control of the entire process from washing to drying can be achieved, improving the quality and efficiency of clothing processing.

[0126] For example, in a washing machine, the first control chip inside can adjust the washing program based on the parameters of the clothes detected by sensors. For instance, it can adjust parameters such as the amount of detergent, washing time, and drum speed based on the weight of the clothes to ensure that the clothes are thoroughly and properly washed, thus improving the washing effect.

[0127] For example, a dryer updates its drying parameters, such as the drying program, temperature, and time, based on the data obtained from the washing machine. For instance, it extends the drying time and increases the temperature for thick, high-moisture garments; and it uses lower temperatures and shorter times for delicate fabrics to improve drying efficiency, prevent over-drying or under-drying, protect the fabric's texture and color, and extend its lifespan.

[0128] Through this utility model example, the sensor in the washing machine sends the detected clothing parameter information to the first control chip, and the first control chip then transmits the clothing parameter information to the dryer through the first communication device, realizing intelligent collaborative work between the washing machine and the dryer. This allows the dryer to formulate the most suitable drying plan according to the actual situation of the clothes during the washing stage, avoiding problems such as poor drying effect caused by the lack of specific information about the clothes in traditional dryers.

[0129] In one implementation, the sensor includes at least one of the following:

[0130] A weight sensor, located at the bottom of the first roller, is used to detect the weight of the clothes inside the first roller.

[0131] A humidity sensor is installed inside the first roller or inside the circulating air duct connected to the first roller to detect the moisture content of the clothes inside the first roller.

[0132] A material identification sensor is installed inside the first roller to detect the resistance and capacitance of the clothing and obtain the material information of the clothing by identifying the resistance and capacitance of the clothing.

[0133] In some embodiments, the weight sensor is disposed at the bottom of the first drum (the drum of the washing machine). The weight sensor may also be mounted on the support structure of the first drum. When clothes are placed in the first drum, the weight of the first drum changes, and the sensor senses the weight information of the clothes in the first drum by detecting the deformation of the support structure caused by the weight change.

[0134] In one example, the weight sensor can specifically be a strain gauge load cell. The resistance of the strain gauge within the load cell changes when subjected to pressure or tension. When the first roller carries clothing, the deformation of the support structure is transmitted to the strain gauge, causing a change in its resistance. This change in resistance is converted into a voltage signal by a circuit such as a Wheatstone bridge. This voltage signal is then amplified and converted into a digital signal by an analog-to-digital converter, and finally transmitted to the first control chip. The first control chip processes and analyzes these digital signals to determine the weight of the clothing.

[0135] By installing a weight sensor in the washing machine, the weight information of the clothes is provided to the first control chip, which can then reasonably adjust the washing program based on the weight information, such as the amount of detergent added, the washing time, and the rotation speed of the first drum.

[0136] During the drying stage of the dryer, the weight information of the clothes is transmitted to the dryer. Based on this information, the dryer can update the drying parameters, such as the drying program, temperature, and time, to avoid over-drying or under-drying and to protect the texture and color of the clothes. For example, for thick clothes with high moisture content, the drying time can be extended and the drying temperature increased.

[0137] In some embodiments, the humidity sensor has at least two installation locations. One is located inside the first roller, in direct contact with or close to the clothing, to more accurately detect the humidity of the clothing; the other is located inside the circulating air duct connected to the first roller, to indirectly reflect the moisture content of the clothing by detecting the humidity in the circulating air.

[0138] In one example, the humidity sensor can be either a capacitive or a resistive humidity sensor. It should be understood that a capacitive humidity sensor works based on the effect of water molecules on capacitance. When the moisture content of clothing changes, the electric field around the sensor changes, causing a corresponding change in capacitance. The capacitive humidity sensor converts this capacitance change into an electrical signal output, which is processed by a signal conditioning circuit and then transmitted to the first control chip. A resistive humidity sensor works based on the relationship between humidity and resistance. As the humidity of the clothing changes, the sensor's resistance changes. By measuring the resistance value and converting it into an electrical signal, it is also transmitted to the first control chip, which analyzes the signal to determine the moisture content of the clothing.

[0139] By installing a humidity sensor in the washing machine, the moisture content of the clothes can be monitored in real time. During the spin-drying stage, the machine adjusts the spin time and speed based on the moisture content to ensure the clothes are properly dehydrated. In the drying stage, the moisture content information is transmitted to the dryer, which then adjusts the drying program, temperature, and time accordingly to prevent over-drying or under-drying, thus preserving the fabric's texture and color.

[0140] In some embodiments, the material identification sensor is disposed inside the first roller, specifically at a location that is in full contact with the clothing and can detect the electrical properties of the clothing.

[0141] In this example, the material identification sensor identifies the material information of clothing by detecting its resistance and capacitance. Different materials have different electrical properties; for example, natural fibers and synthetic fibers have different resistance and capacitance values. The material identification sensor applies a specific electrical signal to the clothing and then measures its resistance and capacitance responses. By analyzing and processing the measured resistance and capacitance data and comparing it with a material feature database pre-stored in a first control chip, the material information of the clothing is identified.

[0142] By installing material recognition sensors in washing machines, the material information of clothes can be identified, which helps the washing machine select a more suitable washing program and the dryer select a more suitable drying program, protecting clothes from damage and improving drying efficiency and quality.

[0143] In some embodiments, still as Figure 3 As shown, the first garment handling device 101 further includes:

[0144] The first display panel 205 is disposed on the door 101b of the first clothing handling device 101.

[0145] The first display panel 205 is connected to the first control chip 201 and is used to display clothing parameter information and washing parameter information.

[0146] In some embodiments, the first display panel can be installed on the door of the washing machine in an embedded or fitted manner to ensure overall coordination with the appearance of the washing machine body, and to have good stability and protection, so that users can intuitively and clearly view the displayed information when operating the washing machine.

[0147] In some embodiments, the first display panel may be, but is not limited to, a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic light-emitting diode display (OLED), which can clearly display various information.

[0148] Furthermore, the first display panel is connected to the first control chip via a communication interface, such as a serial peripheral interface (SPI) or an integrated circuit bus (I2C) interface, to achieve high-speed and stable data transmission, ensuring that the first control chip accurately transmits clothing parameter information (such as weight, moisture content, and material) and washing parameter information (such as washing mode, washing time, and spin speed) to the first display panel.

[0149] After collecting the clothing parameter information detected by the sensors and the washing parameter information set by itself, the first control chip organizes and encodes the data to meet the display requirements of the first display panel. Then, it sends the processed parameter information to the first display panel via a communication interface connected to it. Upon receiving the data from the first control chip, the first display panel clearly displays the clothing and washing parameter information according to a pre-designed display format and layout. For example, it displays information such as the weight of the clothing, moisture content, and the selected washing mode in the form of numbers, text, or icons, allowing users to quickly understand the washing machine's operating status and related parameters.

[0150] This utility model provides users with an intuitive interactive interface by setting a first display panel in the washing machine. This allows users to understand the parameters of the clothes in the washing machine and the currently selected washing parameters in real time, making it easier for users to adjust the washing program according to the actual situation and improving the user's operating experience of the washing machine.

[0151] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the second display control component further includes: a second control chip 303 and a second display panel 305, wherein:

[0152] The second control chip 303 is connected to the second communication device 301 and is used to receive clothing parameter information and washing parameter information forwarded by the second communication device.

[0153] The second display panel 305 is disposed on the door 102b of the second garment handling device 102 and is also connected to the second control chip 303, which is used to forward the received drying parameter information to the second control chip.

[0154] Still Figure 4 As shown, the second clothing handling device 102 includes: a body 102a having a clothing inlet 102c; and a door 102b connected to the body 102a and used to open and close the clothing inlet 102c.

[0155] In some embodiments, the second control chip 303 may be a high-performance microcontroller (MCU), such as an ARM series chip. The second control chip is placed in a suitable location inside the main body of the garment handling device, surrounded by necessary circuit components, such as power management chips and memory chips. The control chip is connected to various sensors, actuators, and the display panel within the device via a data bus, address bus, and control bus. For example, the control chip connects to a weight sensor via an SPI interface to obtain the weight information of the garments; and communicates with the display panel via an I2C interface to transmit information such as the washing program and drying program to be displayed to the user.

[0156] In some embodiments, the second control chip and the second communication device are connected via electrical circuitry, for example, using interfaces such as SPI or UART. This ensures that the second communication device accurately transmits the clothing parameter information (weight, moisture content, material) and washing parameter information (selected program, duration, etc.) received from the first clothing handling device (washing machine) to the second control chip.

[0157] In some embodiments, the second control chip can be mounted on the control circuit board of the dryer. Various electronic components, such as power management chips, memory chips, and operational amplifiers, are arranged around the second control chip to form a stable control circuit. The second control chip communicates with various sensors (such as temperature sensors and humidity sensors), actuators (such as heating elements, fans, and motors) within the dryer, as well as a second communication device and a second display panel, via a data bus, address bus, and control bus, to achieve precise control and monitoring of the dryer's operating status.

[0158] In some embodiments, the second communication device integrates various wireless or wired communication modules, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and Ethernet interfaces. These communication modules communicate with external devices via radio frequency circuits or network interfaces to enable data transmission between the dryer and external equipment (such as a washing machine). The second communication device is connected to the second control chip via interfaces such as SPI and UART to ensure accurate and fast data transmission.

[0159] In some embodiments, the second display panel may be a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic light-emitting diode display (OLED). The second display panel is mounted on the door of the second garment handling device (dryer) to facilitate user input of operating commands and viewing of drying parameter information. The second display panel is connected to the second control chip via a communication interface such as I2C or SPI. The second display panel can forward user-inputted drying parameter information (such as drying degree, drying mode, etc.) to the second control chip, and simultaneously receive and display the display data transmitted from the second control chip.

[0160] After receiving information from the first garment processing device, the second communication device can perform preliminary parsing and verification of the received information to ensure data integrity and accuracy. It then forwards the processed information to the second control chip. Upon receiving this information, the second control chip stores it in its internal memory and analyzes and processes the data according to preset algorithms and logic.

[0161] When the user sets drying parameters via the second display panel, the second display panel sends the drying parameters to the second control chip in a specific encoded format. Upon receiving the drying parameters, the second control chip updates or adjusts the drying time, drying program, etc., in the drying parameter information based on the clothing parameter information and washing parameter information obtained from the first clothing handling device. In this implementation, the second display control component formulates a precise drying plan based on the user's drying needs and the actual condition of the clothing, avoiding the problems of over-drying or under-drying caused by a lack of clothing information in traditional dryers, thus improving the drying effect and the quality of clothing care.

[0162] In some embodiments, the second display panel serves as the interface between the user and the dryer, and can also display updated drying parameter information (such as drying time, drying temperature, drying program, drying progress, etc.) calculated by the second control chip to the user. Based on this two-way interactive function, users can understand the dryer's operating status in real time and make adjustments as needed, thus improving the user experience.

[0163] In this example, the second display panel works in conjunction with the second control chip to enable convenient interaction between the user and the dryer. The user can intuitively set drying parameters. Furthermore, if any abnormalities occur during the drying process, the second display panel can promptly display fault information, facilitating timely handling by the user.

[0164] In some embodiments, still as Figure 4 As shown, the second garment processing device also includes a second roller 304, which is disposed inside the body 102a of the second garment processing device 102.

[0165] The second drum 304 is connected to the second control chip 303 and is used to perform a drying operation on the clothes inside the second drum.

[0166] In some embodiments, the second roller is installed inside the main body of the second garment handling device (dryer) and may be made of stainless steel. This second roller can be connected to a second control chip via a motor and a transmission device. The motor acts as the drive source, and the second control chip sends control signals to the motor based on updated drying parameter information, adjusting the motor's speed and operating time. The motor drives the roller to rotate, thereby precisely controlling the rotation speed, direction, and operating time of the second roller, causing the clothes to continuously tumble inside the roller, achieving effective drying.

[0167] In some embodiments, the second display panel is mounted on the door of the dryer and is connected to the second control chip via communication interfaces such as SPI and I2C, ensuring that the second control chip can quickly and accurately transmit initial drying parameter information such as drying program and drying time to the second display panel in the form of digital signals.

[0168] In some embodiments, the second control chip determines updated drying parameters suitable for the current garments based on garment parameter information (such as weight, moisture content, and material) obtained from the first garment processing device, washing parameter information, and received drying parameter information (such as drying degree and drying mode). Then, the second control chip sends control commands to the motor connected to the second drum according to the updated drying parameters, coordinating the operation of the second drum and simultaneously controlling components such as heating elements and fans to work together to dry the garments inside the second drum, avoiding over-drying or under-drying.

[0169] In some embodiments, the second display panel may be a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic light-emitting diode display (OLED), installed on the door of the dryer for convenient user operation and information viewing. The second display panel is connected to the second control chip via a data transmission line, and can clearly display clothing parameter information, washing parameter information, and updated drying parameter information (such as drying temperature, drying time, drying mode, etc.).

[0170] In some embodiments, during the drying process, when the user adjusts the drying parameter information, or when an abnormality occurs in the drying process and adjustments are needed, the second control chip recalculates and promptly transmits the updated drying parameter information to the second display panel for display.

[0171] Reference Figure 5 As shown, according to an example of this utility model, a garment processing device is also provided. The garment processing device includes: a first roller 203, a second roller 304, a display panel 401, and a control chip 402, wherein:

[0172] The first drum 203 is located inside the main body of the garment processing equipment and is used to perform washing operations on the garments inside the first drum 203.

[0173] The second roller 304 is located inside the main body of the garment processing equipment and is isolated from the first roller 203. It is connected side by side or stacked by connectors and is used to perform drying operations on the garments inside the second roller 304.

[0174] The control chip 401 is located inside the main body of the garment processing device and is connected to the first and second rollers. It is used to record garment parameter information and washing parameter information.

[0175] Display panel 402 is installed on the door of the garment processing equipment and is used to receive drying parameter information;

[0176] The display panel 402 is also connected to the control chip 401, which is used to receive clothing parameter information and washing parameter information, as well as display updated drying parameter information.

[0177] In some embodiments, the first and second rollers are respectively housed inside the main body of the garment handling device, isolated from each other, and operate independently without interfering with each other. In one example, the two rollers can be connected side-by-side or stacked according to the space requirements of the washing and drying tasks, which saves space and facilitates user operation.

[0178] In some embodiments, the first and second drums are respectively connected to a control chip via drive motors. Specifically, the first and second drums are connected to drive motors, which are regulated by the control chip to achieve precise washing and drying actions. For example, in one example, during washing, the control chip controls the speed and direction of the drive motor of the first drum to simulate different washing modes; during drying, the control chip controls the drive motor of the second drum to rotate, cooperating with the heating element and ventilation system to complete the drying process.

[0179] In this example, the control chip can be a high-performance microcontroller (MCU), such as an ARM series chip. The control chip is placed in a suitable location inside the device body, surrounded by necessary circuit components, such as power management chips and memory chips. The control chip connects to various sensors, actuators, and the display panel within the device via data buses, address buses, and control buses. For example, the control chip connects to a weight sensor via an SPI interface to obtain the weight information of the clothes; and communicates with the display panel via an I2C interface to transmit updated drying parameters, such as the washing and drying programs, to be displayed to the user.

[0180] In this example, the display panel is mounted on the device door for easy viewing and operation by the user. The display panel is connected to the control chip via flexible cabling or other electrical connections to ensure stable and efficient data transmission. In some embodiments, the display panel may, but is not limited to, a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, which can clearly present various information.

[0181] In some embodiments, the garment processing device is equipped with various sensors to detect garment parameter information and converts the detected analog signals into digital signals, which are then transmitted to the control chip. For example, a weight sensor is installed at the bottom of the first drum to measure the weight of the garment; a humidity sensor is installed inside the drum or in the circulating air duct to detect the moisture content of the garment; and a material identification sensor is used to determine the material information of the garment by detecting its resistance and capacitance characteristics. The control chip of the garment processing device can also be used to record user-selected washing parameters, such as washing mode (standard wash, quick wash, gentle wash, intensive wash, etc.), washing time, number of rinses, spin speed, etc. When the user selects a washing program on the display panel, the control chip receives and stores this washing parameter information.

[0182] Furthermore, users input drying parameters, such as dryness level (light drying, medium drying, fully dried) and drying mode (cold air drying, hot air drying, intelligent drying), through the display panel of the garment processing device. The display panel transmits the drying parameters to the control chip, which then runs a drying parameter adjustment algorithm. Based on at least one of the received garment parameters and washing parameters, the chip adjusts the drying parameters to obtain updated drying parameters. This allows the system to determine the most suitable drying program, temperature, and time for the garment.

[0183] The control chip controls the operation of the first drum based on at least one of the garment parameters and washing parameters. For example, it adjusts the detergent dosage based on the weight of the garment and selects the appropriate washing intensity and time according to the fabric type. Simultaneously, it controls the motor to rotate the drum, tumbling and washing the garments. After washing, the control chip controls the operation of the second drum based on updated drying parameters. For example, it adjusts the power of the heating element, controls the temperature and airflow of the hot air, and coordinates the motor to rotate the drum, ensuring the garments are heated evenly and achieve the set drying temperature.

[0184] This invention integrates the functions of a washing machine and a dryer into a single garment processing device. The control chip integrates garment parameter information, washing parameter information, and drying parameter information to achieve intelligent coordination between the washing and drying processes, providing users with a one-stop garment processing solution. For example, based on the garment parameter information after washing and the washing parameter information, the drying parameter information is automatically adjusted to achieve better drying results, protecting clothes while improving drying efficiency. Furthermore, the updated drying parameter information can be displayed on the display panel, allowing users to clearly understand the drying parameters and improving user satisfaction with the garment processing device.

[0185] In some embodiments, the garment handling device further includes: a sensor, wherein:

[0186] A sensor, connected to the first roller, is used to detect clothing parameter information inside the first roller, wherein the clothing parameter information includes at least one of the following: weight information, moisture content information, and material information;

[0187] The sensor connects to the control chip and is also used to send clothing parameter information to the control chip.

[0188] In some embodiments, the sensor can be of various types, connected to the first roller to accurately detect garment parameters. For example, a strain gauge load cell is installed at the bottom of the first roller or on its support structure to sense the deformation generated when the garment is loaded inside the first roller, and then converts this deformation into an electrical signal related to the weight of the garment. Another example is a capacitive or resistive humidity sensor installed inside the first roller near the garment, or in the air duct, to detect the moisture content of the garment in real time. Yet another example is a material identification sensor that identifies the material of the garment by detecting its resistance, capacitance, and other properties under specific conditions; this sensor can be installed on the wall of the first roller or near the garment inlet.

[0189] Furthermore, in this example, all sensors are connected to the control chip via wires or other electrical connections, ensuring that the detected clothing parameter information can be accurately transmitted to the control chip. It should be understood that in this example, the sensors' detection of parameters such as clothing weight, moisture content, and material enables precise control of the entire process from washing to drying, improving the quality and efficiency of clothing processing.

[0190] For example, the control chip can adjust the washing program based on the parameters of the clothes detected by sensors. For instance, it can adjust parameters such as the amount of detergent, washing time, and drum speed based on the weight of the clothes to ensure that the clothes are thoroughly and properly washed, thereby improving the washing effect.

[0191] For example, the control chip can also update drying parameters such as the drying program, drying temperature, and drying time based on the clothing parameter information detected by the sensors. For instance, for thick clothing with high moisture content, the drying time and temperature can be appropriately extended and the drying temperature increased; for thin and fragile clothing, a lower temperature and shorter drying time can be used to improve the drying effect, avoid over-drying or under-drying, protect the texture and color of the clothing, and extend the service life of the clothing.

[0192] In some embodiments, the sensor includes at least one of the following:

[0193] A weight sensor is installed at the bottom of the first roller to detect the weight information of the clothes inside the first roller;

[0194] A humidity sensor is installed inside the first roller or inside the circulating air duct connected to the first roller to detect the moisture content of the clothes inside the first roller.

[0195] A material identification sensor is installed inside the first roller to detect the resistance and capacitance of the clothing and obtain the material information of the clothing by identifying the resistance and capacitance of the clothing.

[0196] In some embodiments, the weight sensor is disposed at the bottom of the first drum (the drum of the washing machine). The weight sensor may also be mounted on the support structure of the first drum. When clothes are placed in the first drum, the weight of the first drum changes, and the sensor senses the weight information of the clothes in the first drum by detecting the deformation of the support structure caused by the weight change.

[0197] In one example, the weight sensor can specifically be a strain gauge load cell. The resistance of the strain gauge within the load cell changes when subjected to pressure or tension. When the first roller carries clothing, the deformation of the support structure is transmitted to the strain gauge, causing a change in its resistance. This change in resistance is converted into a voltage signal by a circuit such as a Wheatstone bridge. This voltage signal is then amplified and converted into a digital signal by an analog-to-digital converter, and finally transmitted to the control chip. The control chip processes and analyzes these digital signals to determine the weight of the clothing.

[0198] By installing a weight sensor in the washing machine, the weight information of the clothes is provided to the first control chip, which can then reasonably adjust the washing program based on the weight information, such as the amount of detergent added, the washing time, and the rotation speed of the first drum.

[0199] During the drying stage of a dryer, the weight information of the clothes is transmitted to the dryer. The dryer can then adjust drying parameters such as the drying program, temperature, and time based on this information to avoid over-drying or under-drying, thus protecting the fabric and color of the clothes. For example, for thick clothes with high moisture content, the drying time can be extended and the temperature increased.

[0200] In some embodiments, the humidity sensor has at least two installation locations. One is located inside the first roller, in direct contact with or close to the clothing, to more accurately detect the humidity of the clothing; the other is located inside the circulating air duct connected to the first roller, to indirectly reflect the moisture content of the clothing by detecting the humidity in the circulating air.

It should be understood that a capacitive humidity sensor works based on the effect of water molecules on capacitance. When the moisture content of clothing changes, the electric field around the sensor changes, causing a corresponding change in capacitance. The capacitive humidity sensor converts this capacitance change into an electrical signal output, which is processed by a signal conditioning circuit and then transmitted to the control chip. A resistive humidity sensor, on the other hand, works based on the relationship between humidity and resistance. As the humidity of the clothing changes, the sensor's resistance changes. By measuring the resistance value and converting it into an electrical signal, this signal is also transmitted to the control chip, which analyzes the signal to determine the moisture content of the clothing.

[0202] By installing a humidity sensor in the washing machine, the moisture content of the clothes can be monitored in real time. During the spin-drying stage, the machine adjusts the spin time and speed based on the moisture content to ensure the clothes are properly dehydrated. In the drying stage, the moisture content information is transmitted to the dryer, which then adjusts the drying program, temperature, and time accordingly to prevent over-drying or under-drying, thus preserving the fabric's texture and color.

[0203] In some embodiments, the material identification sensor is disposed inside the first roller, specifically at a location that is in full contact with the clothing and can detect the electrical properties of the clothing.

[0204] In this example, the material identification sensor identifies the material information of clothing by detecting its resistance and capacitance. Different materials have different electrical properties; for example, natural fibers and synthetic fibers have different resistance and capacitance values. The material identification sensor applies a specific electrical signal to the clothing and then measures its resistance and capacitance responses. By analyzing and processing the measured resistance and capacitance data and comparing it with a material feature database pre-stored in a first control chip, the material information of the clothing is identified.

[0205] By installing material recognition sensors in washing machines, the material information of clothes can be identified, which helps the washing machine select a more suitable washing program and the dryer select a more suitable drying program, protecting clothes from damage and improving drying efficiency and quality.

[0206] Reference Figure 6 As shown, according to an example of this utility model, a garment processing device is also provided. The garment processing device 101 includes: a first roller 203, a first control chip 201, and a first communication device 202, wherein:

[0207] The first drum 203 is disposed inside the main body 101a of the garment processing equipment and is used to perform washing operations on the clothes inside the first drum.

[0208] The first control chip 201 is located inside the main body of the clothing processing device and is used to record clothing parameter information and washing parameter information after the washing program is completed.

[0209] The first communication device 202 is located inside the main body of the clothing processing equipment and is connected to the first control chip 201. It is used to send clothing parameter information and washing parameter information to the outside (for example, to an external device).

[0210] In some embodiments, the clothing handling device can be understood as a washing machine, and the external device can be understood as a dryer, smartphone, smart home system, etc. Taking a dryer as an example, the washing machine and the dryer are connected side by side or stacked through connectors. This physical connection method provides a relatively stable environment for communication and data transmission between the two and facilitates user operation and management.

[0211] In some embodiments of this invention, the first drum is installed inside the main body of the clothes handling device (washing machine). Specifically, the first drum is connected to the main body of the washing machine via mechanical components such as bearings, ensuring smooth operation and stable rotation during the washing process to perform thorough and effective washing. Simultaneously, the first drum has good sealing properties to prevent detergent leakage.

[0212] In some embodiments, the first control chip 201 can be a high-performance microcontroller (MCU), such as an ARM series chip. Specifically, it can be installed on the control board of the washing machine. Various electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, are arranged around the first control chip 201 to form a stable circuit system. The first control chip 201 communicates with sensors (such as weight sensors, water level sensors, and temperature sensors) and actuators (such as motors, inlet valves, and drain valves) inside the washing machine through various interfaces (such as SPI, I2C, and UART) to achieve real-time monitoring and control of the washing machine's operating status.

[0213] In some embodiments, the garment processing device is equipped with multiple sensors to detect garment parameter information, converting the detected analog signals into digital signals and transmitting them to a first control chip. For example, a weight sensor is installed at the bottom of the first drum to measure the weight of the garment; a humidity sensor is installed inside the drum or in the circulating air duct to detect the moisture content of the garment; and a material identification sensor is used to determine the material information of the garment by detecting its resistance and capacitance characteristics. The control chip of the garment processing device can also be used to record user-selected washing parameters, such as washing mode (standard wash, quick wash, gentle wash, intensive wash, etc.), washing time, number of rinses, and spin speed. When the user selects a washing program on the display panel, the control chip receives and stores this washing parameter information.

[0214] The first control chip controls the operation of the first drum based on the garment and washing parameters. For example, it adjusts the detergent dosage based on the weight of the garment and selects the appropriate washing intensity and time according to the fabric type. Simultaneously, it controls the motor to rotate the drum, tumbling and washing the garments.

[0215] In this example, the first control chip is connected to the first communication device, and the first communication device is communicatively connected to a second communication device in an external device. In one example, both the first and second communication devices can integrate multiple communication modules, such as Wi-Fi, 5G, Bluetooth, NFC (Near Field Communication), and ZigBee modules. These communication modules communicate wirelessly with external devices (such as dryers, smartphones, and smart home systems) via radio frequency circuits, enabling data transmission between the washing machine and these external devices.

[0216] In some embodiments, the first communication device selects a suitable communication protocol (such as TCP / IP, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc.) based on the connected device and communication requirements. When communicating with an external device (such as a dryer), both parties need to follow the same communication protocol to ensure correct data transmission and parsing. After the washing program ends, the first control chip encapsulates the collected clothing parameter information and washing parameter information and encodes them according to the selected communication protocol format. Then, the first communication device transmits the encoded data to the external device via wireless signal.

[0217] Traditional washing machines, lacking accurate detection of garment parameters, cannot adjust washing programs according to the actual condition of the clothes, resulting in poor washing performance, such as insufficient cleaning and severe wear and tear. The washing machine provided in this invention uses multiple sensors to detect garment parameters, and a first control chip adjusts the washing program based on these parameters, improving washing performance. Furthermore, by accurately detecting garment parameters and intelligently adjusting the washing program, it selects the most suitable washing mode, washing time, and washing intensity based on factors such as garment weight, moisture content, and material, thereby improving the cleaning effect and reducing wear and tear on the clothes.

[0218] Furthermore, traditional washing machines often lack effective information transmission methods when used in conjunction with external devices (such as dryers), resulting in the dryer's inability to accurately understand the washing status and characteristics of the clothes, thus affecting the drying effect. The washing machine provided in this utility model example sends clothing parameter information and washing program information to the outside through a first communication device, solving the problem of poor information transmission and realizing collaborative work between clothing processing devices.

[0219] In some embodiments, the garment handling device includes: a sensor, wherein:

[0220] A sensor, connected to the first roller, is used to detect clothing parameter information, which includes at least one of the following: weight information, moisture content information, and material information.

[0221] The sensor, connected to the first control chip, is also used to send clothing parameter information to the first control chip.

[0222] In some embodiments, the sensor can be of various types, connected to the first roller to accurately detect garment parameters. For example, a strain gauge load cell is installed at the bottom of the first roller or on its support structure to sense the deformation generated when the garment is loaded inside the first roller, and then converts this deformation into an electrical signal related to the weight of the garment. Another example is a capacitive or resistive humidity sensor installed inside the first roller near the garment, or in the air duct, to detect the moisture content of the garment in real time. Yet another example is a material identification sensor that identifies the material of the garment by detecting its resistance, capacitance, and other properties under specific conditions; this sensor can be installed on the wall of the first roller or near the garment inlet.

[0223] Furthermore, in this example, all sensors are connected to the first control chip via wires or other electrical connections, ensuring that the detected clothing parameter information can be accurately transmitted to the first control chip. It should be understood that in this example, the sensors' detection of parameters such as the weight, moisture content, and material of the clothing not only serves as the basis for the first clothing processing device (washing machine) to optimize the washing program, but also provides crucial information for the second clothing processing device (dryer) to optimize the drying program. By accurately acquiring clothing parameter information, precise control of the entire process from washing to drying can be achieved, improving the quality and efficiency of clothing processing.

[0224] For example, in a washing machine, the first control chip inside can adjust the washing program based on the parameters of the clothes detected by sensors. For instance, it can adjust parameters such as the amount of detergent, washing time, and drum speed based on the weight of the clothes to ensure that the clothes are thoroughly and properly washed, thus improving the washing effect.

[0225] For example, with dryers, the parameters of the clothes obtained from the washing machine can be used to accurately calculate the drying time and select the appropriate drying program based on the actual condition of the clothes. For instance, for thick clothes with high moisture content, the drying time and temperature can be appropriately extended; for thin and fragile clothes, a lower temperature and shorter drying time can be used to improve the drying effect, avoid over-drying or under-drying, protect the texture and color of the clothes, and extend their lifespan.

[0226] Through this utility model example, the sensor in the washing machine sends the detected clothing parameter information to the first control chip, and the first control chip then transmits the clothing parameter information to the dryer through the first communication device, realizing intelligent collaborative work between the washing machine and the dryer. This allows the dryer to formulate the most suitable drying plan according to the actual situation of the clothes during the washing stage, avoiding problems such as poor drying effect caused by the lack of specific information about the clothes in traditional dryers.

[0227] In some embodiments, the sensor includes at least one of the following:

[0228] A weight sensor, located at the bottom of the first roller, is used to detect the weight of the clothes inside the first roller.

[0229] A humidity sensor is installed inside the first roller or inside the circulating air duct connected to the first roller to detect the moisture content of the clothes inside the first roller.

[0230] A material identification sensor is installed inside the first roller to detect the resistance and capacitance of the clothing and obtain the material information of the clothing by identifying the resistance and capacitance of the clothing.

[0231] In some embodiments, the weight sensor is disposed at the bottom of the first drum (the drum of the washing machine). The weight sensor may also be mounted on the support structure of the first drum. When clothes are placed in the first drum, the weight of the first drum changes, and the sensor senses the weight information of the clothes in the first drum by detecting the deformation of the support structure caused by the weight change.

[0232] In one example, the weight sensor can specifically be a strain gauge load cell. The resistance of the strain gauge within the load cell changes when subjected to pressure or tension. When the first roller carries clothing, the deformation of the support structure is transmitted to the strain gauge, causing a change in its resistance. This change in resistance is converted into a voltage signal by a circuit such as a Wheatstone bridge. This voltage signal is then amplified and converted into a digital signal by an analog-to-digital converter, and finally transmitted to the first control chip. The first control chip processes and analyzes these digital signals to determine the weight of the clothing.

[0233] By installing a weight sensor in the washing machine, the weight information of the clothes is provided to the first control chip, which can then reasonably adjust the washing program based on the weight information, such as the amount of detergent added, the washing time, and the rotation speed of the first drum.

[0234] During the drying stage of a dryer, the weight information of the clothes is transmitted to the dryer. The dryer can then adjust drying parameters such as the drying program, temperature, and time based on this information to avoid over-drying or under-drying, thus protecting the fabric and color of the clothes. For example, for thick clothes with high moisture content, the drying time can be extended and the temperature increased.

[0235] In some embodiments, the humidity sensor has at least two installation locations. One is located inside the first roller, in direct contact with or close to the clothing, to more accurately detect the humidity of the clothing; the other is located inside the circulating air duct connected to the first roller, to indirectly reflect the moisture content of the clothing by detecting the humidity in the circulating air.

[0236] In one example, the humidity sensor can be either a capacitive or a resistive humidity sensor. It should be understood that a capacitive humidity sensor works based on the effect of water molecules on capacitance. When the moisture content of clothing changes, the electric field around the sensor changes, causing a corresponding change in capacitance. The capacitive humidity sensor converts this capacitance change into an electrical signal output, which is processed by a signal conditioning circuit and then transmitted to the first control chip. A resistive humidity sensor works based on the relationship between humidity and resistance. As the humidity of the clothing changes, the sensor's resistance changes. By measuring the resistance value and converting it into an electrical signal, it is also transmitted to the first control chip, which analyzes the signal to determine the moisture content of the clothing.

[0237] By installing a humidity sensor in the washing machine, the moisture content of the clothes can be monitored in real time. During the spin-drying stage, the machine adjusts the spin time and speed based on the moisture content to ensure the clothes are properly dehydrated. In the drying stage, the moisture content information is transmitted to the dryer, which then adjusts the drying program, temperature, and time accordingly to prevent over-drying or under-drying, thus preserving the fabric's texture and color.

[0238] In some embodiments, the material identification sensor is disposed inside the first roller, specifically at a location that is in full contact with the clothing and can detect the electrical properties of the clothing.

[0239] In this example, the material identification sensor identifies the material information of clothing by detecting its resistance and capacitance. Different materials have different electrical properties; for example, natural fibers and synthetic fibers have different resistance and capacitance values. The material identification sensor applies a specific electrical signal to the clothing and then measures its resistance and capacitance responses. By analyzing and processing the measured resistance and capacitance data and comparing it with a material feature database pre-stored in a first control chip, the material information of the clothing is identified.

[0240] By installing material recognition sensors in washing machines, the material information of clothes can be identified, which helps the washing machine select a more suitable washing program and the dryer select a more suitable drying program, protecting clothes from damage and improving drying efficiency and quality.

[0241] In some embodiments, the garment handling apparatus further includes:

[0242] A first display panel is mounted on the door of the first garment handling device;

[0243] The first display panel is connected to the first control chip and is used to display clothing parameter information and washing parameter information.

[0244] In some embodiments, taking a washing machine as an example of the first clothing handling device, the first display panel can be installed in an embedded or fitted manner on the door of the washing machine to ensure overall coordination with the appearance of the washing machine body, and to have good stability and protection, so that users can intuitively and clearly view the displayed information when operating the washing machine.

[0245] In some embodiments, the first display panel can be connected to the first control chip via a flexible ribbon cable or other electrical connection method to ensure stable and efficient data transmission. In some embodiments, the first display panel can be, but is not limited to, a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic light-emitting diode display (OLED), which can clearly display various information.

[0246] Furthermore, the first display panel is connected to the first control chip via a communication interface, such as a serial peripheral interface (SPI) or an integrated circuit bus (I2C) interface, to achieve high-speed and stable data transmission, ensuring that the first control chip accurately transmits clothing parameter information (such as weight, moisture content, and material) and washing parameter information (such as washing mode, washing time, and spin speed) to the first display panel.

[0247] After collecting the clothing parameter information detected by the sensors and the washing parameter information set by itself, the first control chip organizes and encodes the data to meet the display requirements of the first display panel. Then, it sends the processed parameter information to the first display panel via a communication interface connected to it. Upon receiving the data from the first control chip, the first display panel clearly displays the clothing and washing parameter information according to a pre-designed display format and layout. For example, it displays information such as the weight of the clothing, moisture content, and the selected washing mode in the form of numbers, text, or icons, allowing users to quickly understand the washing machine's operating status and related parameters.

[0248] This utility model provides users with an intuitive interactive interface by setting a first display panel in the washing machine. This allows users to understand the parameters of the clothes in the washing machine and the currently selected washing parameters in real time, making it easier for users to adjust the washing program according to the actual situation and improving the user's operating experience of the washing machine.

[0249] Reference Figure 7 As shown, according to an example of this utility model, a garment processing device is also provided. The garment processing device 102 includes: a second roller 304, a second control chip 303, a second display panel 305, and a second communication device 301, wherein:

[0250] The second roller 304 is located inside the main body 102a of the garment processing equipment and is used to perform a drying operation on the garments inside the second roller.

[0251] The second communication device 301 is located inside the main body 102a of the clothing processing equipment and is connected to the second control chip. The second communication device is used to receive clothing parameter information and washing parameter information.

[0252] The second control chip 303 is connected to the second communication device 301 and is used to receive clothing parameter information and washing parameter information forwarded by the second communication device.

[0253] The second display panel 305 is installed on the door 102a of the garment processing equipment and connected to the second control chip 303. It is used to receive drying parameter information and display updated drying parameter information.

[0254] In some embodiments, taking a clothes dryer as an example, the second roller is installed inside the dryer body and can be made of stainless steel. This second roller can be connected to a second control chip via a motor and a transmission device. The motor acts as the drive source, and the second control chip sends control signals to the motor based on updated drying parameters, adjusting the motor's speed and operating time. The motor drives the roller to rotate, thereby precisely controlling the rotation speed, direction, and operating time of the second roller, causing the clothes to tumble continuously inside the roller, achieving effective drying.

[0255] In some embodiments, the second control chip can be mounted on the control circuit board of the dryer. Various electronic components, such as power management chips, memory chips, and operational amplifiers, are arranged around the second control chip to form a stable control circuit. The second control chip communicates with various sensors (such as temperature sensors and humidity sensors), actuators (such as heating elements, fans, and motors) within the dryer, as well as a second communication device and a second display panel, via a data bus, address bus, and control bus, to achieve precise control and monitoring of the dryer's operating status.

[0256] In some embodiments, the second communication device integrates various wireless or wired communication modules, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and Ethernet interfaces. These communication modules communicate with external devices via radio frequency circuits or network interfaces to enable data transmission between the dryer and external equipment (such as a washing machine). The second communication device is connected to the second control chip via interfaces such as SPI and UART to ensure accurate and fast data transmission.

[0257] The second display panel is installed on the dryer door and is connected to the second control chip via communication interfaces such as SPI and I2C. This ensures that the second control chip can quickly and accurately transmit updated drying parameters such as drying program, drying temperature, and drying time to the second display panel in the form of digital signals.

[0258] The second control chip determines updated drying parameters suitable for the current clothes based on the clothing parameter information (such as weight, moisture content, and material) obtained from the washing machine, washing parameters, and drying parameters set by the user on the second display panel (such as drying level and drying mode). Then, the second control chip sends control commands to the motor connected to the second drum according to the updated drying parameters, coordinating the operation of the second drum and simultaneously controlling the heating element, fan, and other components to work together to dry the clothes in the second drum, avoiding over-drying or under-drying.

[0259] During the drying process, when the user adjusts the drying parameters or when an abnormality occurs and the program needs to be adjusted, the second control chip recalculates and promptly transmits the changed information to the second display panel for display.

[0260] In some embodiments, the second display panel may be a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic light-emitting diode display (OLED), installed on the door of the dryer for convenient user operation and information viewing. The second display panel is connected to the second control chip via a data transmission line, and can clearly display clothing parameter information, washing parameter information, and updated drying parameter information (such as drying temperature, drying time, drying mode, etc.).

[0261] The second communication device receives clothing parameter information (such as weight, moisture content, and material) and washing parameter information (such as washing mode, washing time, and number of rinses) from external devices (such as washing machines) via wireless or wired means. The second communication device also performs preliminary decoding and verification on the received data to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the data.

[0262] In some embodiments, when a user sets drying parameters via the second display panel, the second display panel sends the drying parameters to the second control chip in a specific encoding format. Upon receiving the drying parameters, the second control chip combines this information with the clothing parameters and washing parameters previously obtained from the first clothing handling device to calculate or adjust the drying time, drying program, etc., to obtain updated drying parameters. In this implementation, the second control chip formulates a precise drying plan based on the user's drying needs and the actual condition of the clothing, avoiding the problems of over-drying or under-drying caused by a lack of clothing information in traditional dryers, thus improving the drying effect and the quality of clothing care.

[0263] Furthermore, the second control chip can also control the power of the heating element, the speed of the fan, and the rotation speed of the second drum based on the updated drying parameter information to achieve precise drying of clothes. For example, for clothes with high moisture content, the power of the heating element and the speed of the fan are increased to improve drying efficiency; for clothes made of delicate materials, a lower drying temperature and a slower drum speed are selected to avoid damaging the clothes.

[0264] In some embodiments, the second display panel serves as the interface between the user and the dryer, and can also display updated drying parameter information (such as drying time, drying temperature, drying program, drying progress, etc.) calculated by the second control chip to the user. Based on this two-way interactive function, users can understand the dryer's operating status in real time and make adjustments as needed, thus improving the user experience.

[0265] In traditional clothing handling processes, washing machines and dryers operate independently. The dryer cannot access detailed information about the clothes in the washing machine, forcing users to manually set drying parameters based on experience. This often results in poor drying performance, with over-drying damaging clothes or under-drying. The dryer provided in this invention receives clothing and washing parameters via a second communication device, solving the problem of incomplete drying information. Furthermore, a second control chip calculates updated drying parameters based on the received information, avoiding inaccurate parameters and improving drying quality.

Parts not described in detail or in a particular embodiment can be referred to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
