[0049] The first water supply pipeline 103 is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the clothing treatment agent box 102, and is configured to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101. The first water supply pipeline 103 includes one or more water supply channels. At least one water supply channel is connected to a water inlet end of the clothing treatment agent box 102, and water flow moves from the water inlet end of the clothing treatment agent box 102 into the clothing treatment agent box 102 through the water supply channel, and then flows from a water outlet end of the clothing treatment agent box 102 into the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 in communication with the clothing treatment agent box 102. This configuration can not only supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, but also flush the clothing treatment agent in the clothing treatment agent box 102 into the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, thereby facilitating the treatment of the clothing to be treated in the clothing accommodating apparatus 101.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 2, the drying assembly 104 is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 and is configured to dry the airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus. The air outlet channel 105 enables the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 to be in communication with the drying assembly 104 to allow the airflow to pass through.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the air outlet channel 105 is shown in FIG. 3. The filter screen 106 is disposed in the air outlet channel 105 and is configured to filter the airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus and entering the drying assembly 104. A black arrow in FIG. 3 indicates an airflow direction.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the filter screen 106 is disposed perpendicular to a flow direction of the airflow.

[0053] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, the filter screen 106 may be obliquely disposed relative to the flow direction of the airflow to increase a cross-sectional area of the filter screen 106 for filtering the airflow, thereby fully filtering out lint and impurities.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a mesh structure of the filter screen 106 is shown in FIG. 4. Furthermore, the mesh structure of the filter screen 106 may also be any structure that meets the actual filtering requirements, such as a triangular mesh, a hexagonal mesh, or the like.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 5, the first water supply pipeline 103 is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the filter screen 106 and is configured to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the filter screen 106. The second water supply pipeline 107 is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the clothing treatment agent box 102, and is configured to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the clothing treatment agent box 102.

[0056] Furthermore, the clothing treatment device 100 further includes the water supply control portion 108. As shown in FIG. 6, the water supply control portion 108 is connected to the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107, and is configured to perform, when receiving a clothing treatment instruction, a water supply control method shown in FIG. 7, to cause the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 to supply water.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 7, a water supply control method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following:

[0058] In step 702, a first water supply treatment and a second water supply treatment are performed based on the clothing treatment instruction. The first water supply treatment is performed before and / or after the second water supply treatment, the first water supply treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 of the clothing treatment device through the first water supply pipeline 103, and the second water supply treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the second water supply pipeline 107.

[0059] The clothing treatment instruction is used to activate the clothing treatment device 100 to perform a clothing treatment.

[0060] Structures of the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 are as described above, and thus will not be repeated herein.

[0061] In one embodiment, based on the clothing treatment instruction, the first water supply treatment may be performed before the second water supply treatment. The first water supply treatment is to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 of the clothing treatment device through the first water supply pipeline 103, and the water supplied through the first water supply pipeline 103 flows through the filter screen 106 to flush away the lint and impurities, thereby being capable of cleaning the filter screen 106. After the filter screen 106 is flushed through the first water supply treatment, the second water supply treatment is performed to meet the water supply requirement of the clothing treatment mode indicated by the clothing treatment instruction.

[0062] In other words, before the clothing treatment is performed, the filter screen 106 is cleaned first to improve the effect of the current clothing treatment. Specifically, cleaning the filter screen 106 can increase a ventilation area of the filter screen 106, and improve the ventilation performance of the filter screen 106 during the execution of the clothing treatment instruction, thereby facilitating the improvement of the drying effect.

[0063] In another embodiment, based on the clothing treatment instruction, the second water supply treatment may be performed before the first water supply treatment. After the second water supply treatment is performed to meet the water supply requirement of the clothing treatment mode indicated by the clothing treatment instruction, the first water supply treatment is performed; that is, water is supplied to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 of the clothing treatment device through the first water supply pipeline 103. In this case, the water supplied through the first water supply pipeline 103 flows through the filter screen 106 to flush away the lint and impurities, thereby being capable of cleaning the filter screen 106.

[0064] In other words, after the clothing treatment is performed, the filter screen 106 is cleaned again to prevent the existing lint on the filter screen 106 from affecting the effect of the next and all subsequent clothing treatments. Cleaning the filter screen 106 can increase the ventilation area of the filter screen 106, and improve the ventilation performance of the filter screen 106, thereby facilitating the improvement of the drying effect.

[0065] In yet another embodiment, based on the clothing treatment instruction, the first water supply treatment may be performed first to clean the filter screen 106 first, thereby improving the effect of the current clothing treatment. Then, the second water supply treatment is performed again, and the first water supply treatment is performed again after the second water supply treatment is performed, so as to clean the filter screen 106 again after the clothing treatment, thereby preventing the existing lint on the filter screen 106 from affecting the effect of the next and all subsequent clothing treatments.

[0066] In the above technical solution, the filter screen 106 is cleaned before the water supply required for the clothing treatment, so as to improve the effect of the current clothing treatment; the filter screen 106 is cleaned again after the water supply required for the clothing treatment, so as to improve the effect of the next and all subsequent clothing treatments; and the filter screen 106 is cleaned both before and after the water supply required for the clothing treatment, so that the ventilation area of the filter screen can be improved, and the drying effect during the clothing treatment can be improved.

[0067] FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a water supply control method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 8, the water supply control method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0069] In step 802, a first clothing treatment mode is acquired based on the clothing treatment instruction. The first clothing treatment mode is a second clothing treatment mode indicated by the clothing treatment instruction or a third clothing treatment mode operated prior to the operation of the second clothing treatment mode.

[0070] In other words, the second clothing treatment mode is a clothing treatment mode required to be operated for the current clothing treatment, and the third clothing treatment mode is a clothing treatment mode operated for a historical clothing treatment that has been performed.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third clothing treatment mode is a previous clothing treatment mode adjacent to the second clothing treatment mode.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third clothing treatment mode includes at least one clothing treatment mode from clothing treatment modes operated for historical clothing treatments that have been performed.

[0073] When the first clothing treatment mode is a designated mode, the method enters step 804, and when the first clothing treatment mode is not the designated mode, the method enters step 806.

[0074] The designated mode is a clothing treatment mode including the drying treatment.

[0075] When the first clothing treatment mode includes the drying treatment, the airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 during a drying treatment process carries the lint and impurities. When the airflow passes through the filter screen 106, the lint and impurities are filtered by the filter screen 106 and remain on the filter screen 106. That is, the first clothing treatment mode causes the filter screen 106 to retain the lint and impurities, consequently affecting the effect of the subsequent clothing treatment.

[0076] Therefore, once the first clothing treatment mode includes the drying treatment, the filter screen 106 needs to be cleaned before and / or after the first clothing treatment mode is operated, so as to prevent the lint and impurities from affecting the subsequent clothing treatment effect after the first clothing treatment mode is operated.

[0077] In step 804, in response to determining to operate the second clothing treatment mode, the first water supply treatment and the second water supply treatment are performed. The first water supply treatment is performed before and / or after the second water supply treatment, the first water supply treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 of the clothing treatment device through the first water supply pipeline 103, and the second water supply treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the second water supply pipeline 107.

[0078] The first water supply treatment is used for cleaning the filter screen 106, and the second water supply treatment is used for supplying water for the clothing treatment in the second clothing treatment mode.

[0079] In step 806, the second water supply treatment is performed.

[0080] Furthermore, when the first clothing treatment mode is not the designated mode, that is, the first clothing treatment mode does not include the drying treatment, there is no need to clean the filter screen 106 through the first water supply treatment, and the second water supply treatment is directly performed to supply water for the clothing treatment in the second clothing treatment mode.

[0081] According to the above technical solution, after the clothing treatment mode including the drying treatment is operated, the first water supply treatment may be triggered to clean the filter screen 106, which improves the cleanliness of the filter screen 106 and is beneficial to improving the clothing treatment effect.

[0082] FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a water supply control method according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 9, the water supply control method according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0084] In step 902, the first water supply treatment is performed based on the clothing treatment instruction.

[0085] In step 904, a first drainage treatment and / or a second drainage treatment is performed in an initial drainage stage.

[0086] Specifically, after the first water supply treatment is performed to clean the filter screen 106, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment or the water for cleaning the filter screen 106 also needs to be discharged, so as to prevent the water for cleaning the filter screen 106 from affecting the amount of water in the subsequent clothing treatment process, thereby reducing the impact of flushing the filter screen 106 on the subsequent clothing treatment effect.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first drainage treatment includes discharging the water supplied by the first water supply treatment through a first drainage pipeline. A first end of the first drainage pipeline is in communication with the first water supply pipeline 103 through the filter screen 106, and a second end of the first drainage pipeline is in communication with the outside world.

[0088] The outside world includes, but is not limited to, a sewer pipe, a water collection apparatus, and the like outside the clothing treatment device 100, and includes, but is not limited to, any object outside the clothing treatment device 100 that is capable of accommodating the water discharged by the clothing treatment device 100.

[0089] The first drainage pipeline makes the filter screen 106 in communication with the outside world. The drainage thereof is equivalent to directly discharging the water used for flushing the filter screen 106 out of the clothing treatment device 100 through the air outlet channel 105, so as to prevent the water from being retained in other components of the clothing treatment device 100 during the discharging process, which affects the subsequent clothing treatment effect.

[0090] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage duration of the first drainage treatment is set to be a first preset duration.

[0091] Optionally, the first preset duration is set to be 10 s, 15 s, 18 s, or 20 s. Furthermore, the first preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.

[0092] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the second drainage treatment includes discharging the water supplied by the first water supply treatment through a second drainage pipeline, the first water supply pipeline 103 is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the filter screen 106, a first end of the second drainage pipeline is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, and a second end of the second drainage pipeline is in communication with the outside world.

[0093] The second drainage pipeline enables the filter screen 106 to be in communication with the outside world through the clothing accommodating apparatus 101; that is, the water used for flushing the filter screen 106 is discharged into the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the air outlet channel 105, and then discharged out of the clothing treatment device 100 through a drainage outlet of the clothing accommodating apparatus 101. In this way, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment can not only clean the filter screen 106, but also clean the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 when the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 is vacant, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect of the first water supply treatment on the clothing treatment device 100. Meanwhile, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment is discharged out of the clothing treatment device 100 through the drainage outlet of the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, so that there is no need to additionally dispose a communication port to the outside world in the air outlet channel 105. This structure allows the airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 to enter the drying assembly 104 through the air outlet channel 105 more smoothly, thereby improving the drying effect and enhancing the practicability of the clothing treatment mode including the drying treatment.

[0094] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage duration of the second drainage treatment is set to be a second preset duration.

[0095] Optionally, the second preset duration is set to be 10 s, 15 s, 18 s, or 20 s. Furthermore, the second preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.

[0096] In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a water supply duration of the first water supply treatment may also be set to be a third preset duration. The third preset duration is less than a drainage duration of the initial drainage stage. In this way, after water is supplied through the first water supply treatment for the third preset duration, the drainage duration greater than the third preset duration allows the water after cleaning the filter screen 106 to be completely discharged as much as possible, so as to prevent the insufficient drainage duration from causing the water after cleaning the filter screen 106 to remain in the clothing treatment device 100, which affects the clothing treatment effect.

[0097] Optionally, if the first preset duration and / or the second preset duration is 15 s, the third preset duration may be set to be 10 s.

[0098] Optionally, if the first preset duration is 15 s and the second preset duration is 12 s, the third preset duration may be set to be 10 s.

[0099] Furthermore, the third preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.

[0100] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a third drainage treatment and a fourth drainage treatment may be performed simultaneously or sequentially to improve the drainage speed and drainage amount.

[0101] In step 906, the second water supply treatment is performed.

[0102] FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a water supply control method according to still another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0103] As shown in FIG. 10, the water supply control method according to still another embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0104] In step 1002, the second water supply treatment is performed based on the clothing treatment instruction to meet a water supply requirement of the clothing treatment mode indicated by the clothing treatment instruction.

[0105] Step 1004, in response to determining that the second water supply treatment is completed, the first water supply treatment is performed to flush the filter screen 106.

[0106] In step 1006, the third drainage treatment and / or the fourth drainage treatment is performed in the final drainage stage.

[0107] Specifically, after the first water supply treatment is performed to clean the filter screen 106, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment or the water for cleaning the filter screen 106 also needs to be discharged, so as to prevent the water for cleaning the filter screen 106 from affecting the amount of water in the subsequent clothing treatment process, thereby reducing the impact of flushing the filter screen 106 on the subsequent clothing treatment effect.

[0108] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third drainage treatment includes discharging the water supplied by the first water supply treatment through the first drainage pipeline, the first end of the first drainage pipeline is in communication with the first water supply pipeline 103 through the filter screen 106, and the second end of the first drainage pipeline is in communication with the outside world.

[0109] The outside world includes, but is not limited to, a sewer pipe, a water collection apparatus, and the like outside the clothing treatment device 100, and includes, but is not limited to, any object outside the clothing treatment device 100 that is capable of accommodating the water discharged by the clothing treatment device 100.

[0110] The first drainage pipeline makes the filter screen 106 in communication with the outside world. The drainage thereof is equivalent to directly discharging the water used for flushing the filter screen 106 out of the clothing treatment device 100 through the air outlet channel 105, so as to prevent the water from being retained in other components of the clothing treatment device 100 during the discharging process, which affects the subsequent clothing treatment effect.

[0111] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage duration of the third drainage treatment is set to be a fifth preset duration.

[0112] Optionally, the fifth preset duration is set to be 10 s, 15 s, 18 s, or 20 s. Furthermore, the fifth preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.

[0113] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the fourth drainage treatment includes discharging the water supplied by the first water supply treatment through the second drainage pipeline, the first water supply pipeline 103 is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the filter screen 106, the first end of the second drainage pipeline is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, and the second end of the second drainage pipeline is in communication with the outside world.

[0114] The second drainage pipeline enables the filter screen 106 to be in communication with the outside world through the clothing accommodating apparatus 101; that is, the water used for flushing the filter screen 106 is discharged into the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the air outlet channel 105, and then discharged out of the clothing treatment device 100 through a drainage outlet of the clothing accommodating apparatus 101. In this way, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment can not only clean the filter screen 106, but also clean the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 when the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 is vacant, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect of the first water supply treatment on the clothing treatment device 100. Meanwhile, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment is discharged out of the clothing treatment device 100 through the drainage outlet of the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, so that there is no need to additionally dispose a communication port to the outside world in the air outlet channel 105. This structure allows the airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 to enter the drying assembly 104 through the air outlet channel 105 more smoothly, thereby improving the drying effect and enhancing the practicability of the clothing treatment mode including the drying treatment.

[0115] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage duration of the fourth drainage treatment is set to be a sixth preset duration.

[0116] Optionally, the sixth preset duration is set to be 10 s, 15 s, 18 s, or 20 s. Furthermore, the sixth preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.

[0117] In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the water supply duration of the first water supply treatment may also be set to be a seventh preset duration. The seventh preset duration is less than a drainage duration of the final drainage stage. In this way, after water is supplied through the first water supply treatment for the seventh preset duration, the drainage duration greater than the seventh preset duration allows the water after cleaning the filter screen 106 to be completely discharged as much as possible, so as to prevent the insufficient drainage duration from causing the water after cleaning the filter screen 106 to remain in the clothing treatment device 100, which affects the clothing treatment effect.

[0118] Optionally, if the fifth preset duration and / or the sixth preset duration is 15 s, the seventh preset duration may be set to be 10 s.

[0119] Optionally, if the fifth preset duration is 15 s and the sixth preset duration is 12 s, the seventh preset duration may be set to be 10 s.

[0120] Furthermore, the seventh preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.

[0121] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second water supply treatment further includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the first water supply pipeline 103.

[0122] On this basis, if the first water supply treatment is performed before the second water supply treatment, cleaning the filter screen 106 by the first water supply treatment can not only increase the ventilation area of the filter screen 106, but also increase a water flow area of the filter screen 106, thereby providing better water supply performance for the operation of supplying water through the first water supply pipeline 103 via the filter screen during the second water supply treatment.

[0123] If the first water supply treatment is performed after the second water supply treatment, cleaning the filter screen 106 by the first water supply treatment can not only increase the ventilation area of the filter screen 106, but also increase the water flow area of the filter screen 106, so that the first water supply pipeline 103 can provide better water supply performance for the subsequent clothing treatment, thereby improving the clothing treatment effect.

[0124] FIG. 11 is a flowchart of a second water supply treatment according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0125] As shown in FIG. 11, a flow of the second water supply treatment according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0126] In step 1102, a first water supply sub-treatment is performed in a first water supply stage of the second water supply treatment. The first water supply sub-treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the first water supply pipeline 103.

[0127] In step 1104, a second water supply sub-treatment is performed in a second water supply stage of the second water supply treatment. The second water supply stage occurs after the first water supply stage, and the second water supply sub-treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 only through the second water supply pipeline 107.

[0128] The water supply control portion 108 controls the first water supply pipeline 103 to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 during the first water supply stage of a second water supply treatment process, and controls the second water supply pipeline 107 to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 during the second water supply stage of the second water supply treatment process.

[0129] When the second water supply pipeline 107 supplies water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, the water flow passes through the filter screen 106 to flush away the lint and impurities. The applicant found through testing that after the water flow passes through the filter screen 106, a water film easily forms on a surface of the filter screen 106, which affects the drying performance. When the drying assembly 104 performs the drying treatment through the circulating airflow, the presence of the water film reduces the ventilation area of the filter screen 106, resulting in a reduction in the circulating airflow passing through the filter screen 106. Meanwhile, a portion of the airflow blocked by the water film accumulates heat, leading to an increase in the local temperature of the clothing treatment device 100, thereby affecting the safe operation and service life of local components. In addition, the circulating airflow is blocked by the water film, which may also cause high load and high temperature of a fan in the drying assembly 104, thereby affecting the safe operation and service life of the fan.

[0130] To address this, in the first water supply stage, water is supplied to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the first water supply pipeline 103, and the water flow passes through the filter screen 106, so that the lint and impurities on the filter screen 106 can be effectively cleaned. Next, before the drying assembly 104 performs the drying treatment, if no water is supplied to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the second water supply pipeline 107, no water flow passes through the filter screen 106. In this way, the filter screen 106 does not form a water film, the ventilation area of the filter screen 106 remains unchanged, and the circulating airflow passes through the filter screen 106 normally, so that the drying effect is not affected.

[0131] Therefore, a water supply process of the clothing treatment device 100 is divided into the first water supply stage and the second water supply stage. The first water supply stage is earlier than the second water supply stage. The interval between the first water supply stage and the drying treatment is longer than that between the second water supply stage and the drying treatment. In one embodiment, the second water supply stage is a final water supply stage before the drying treatment.

[0132] Specifically, the time from the first water supply stage to the drying treatment is longer, and even if a water film is formed, the water film may break in a short time, which does not affect the passage of the circulating airflow after a long period of time, and thus does not adversely affect the drying effect.

[0133] The time from the second water supply stage to the drying treatment is short. If water is still supplied through the first water supply pipeline 103, a water film is formed on the filter screen 106, and the water film still exists when the circulating airflow passes through. Therefore, in the second drying stage, water is supplied only through the second water supply pipeline 107. The water flow of the second water supply pipeline 107 does not flow through the filter screen 106, the filter screen 106 no longer generates a water film, and the circulating airflow can pass through the filter screen 106 without interference, so that the drying effect is not affected.

[0134] After the filter screen 106 is cleaned in the first water supply stage, the surface of the filter screen 106 may still have the possibility of forming a water film due to the relatively closed environment inside the clothing treatment device 100. To address this, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is detected that the filter screen 106 is seriously blocked, the second water supply pipeline 107 may be activated to flush the filter screen 106.

[0135] According to the above technical solution, the filter screen 106 is effectively cleaned in the first water supply stage, and in the second water supply stage, that is, the final water supply stage before drying, the first water supply pipeline 103 passing through the filter screen 106 is not used for supplying water, and the second water supply pipeline 107 not passing through the filter screen 106 is used for supplying water, so as to prevent the formation of a water film when the water flow passes through the filter screen 106. This not only achieves effective cleaning of the filter screen 106 and protects the drying effect against the influence of the water film, but also maintains the safe operation of a plurality of components including the fan, thereby prolonging the service life of the plurality of components.

[0136] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in the first water supply stage, a ratio of a total water supply duration of the second water supply pipeline 107 to a total water supply duration of the first water supply pipeline 103 is greater than or equal to zero.

[0137] In some actual clothing treatment scenarios where the clothing treatment agent is not required to be used, only the first water supply pipeline 103 is used to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 during the first water supply stage. In this case, the ratio of the total water supply duration of the second water supply pipeline 107 to the total water supply duration of the first water supply pipeline 103 is zero.

[0138] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first water supply sub-treatment further includes: supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus101 through the second water supply pipeline 107.

[0139] Specifically, to ensure that the amount of water supplied is sufficient, and / or when the clothing treatment agent is required in the clothing treatment, the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 are enabled to jointly supply water during the execution of the clothing treatment mode indicated by the clothing treatment. In this case, the ratio of the total water supply duration of the second water supply pipeline 107 to the total water supply duration of the first water supply pipeline 103 is greater than zero.

[0140] It should be noted that the ways in which the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 jointly supply water include: the first water supply pipeline 103 supplies water first, and the second water supply pipeline 107 supplies water later; the second water supply pipeline 107 supplies water first, and the first water supply pipeline 103 supplies water later; the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 supply water simultaneously; and the first water supply pipeline 103 and / or the second water supply pipeline 107 supplies water separately, and the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 may also supply water simultaneously, and the like.

[0141] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the first water supply stage includes an initial rinsing stage, and a ratio of the total water supply duration of the second water supply pipeline 107 in the initial rinsing stage to the total water supply duration of the first water supply pipeline 103 in the initial rinsing stage is greater than or equal to zero.

[0142] If the ratio is zero, it indicates that only the first water supply pipeline 103 is used for supplying water in the initial rinsing stage.

[0143] If the ratio is greater than zero, it indicates that both the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 can be used for supplying water in the initial rinsing stage.

[0144] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step that the second water supply sub-treatment is performed includes: when entering a final rinsing stage of the second water supply stage, the second water supply pipeline 107 is activated to supply water; and the water supply through the second water supply pipeline 107 is stopped when the water supply amount in the final rinsing stage reaches a designated amount or the water supply duration in the final rinsing stage reaches the fourth preset duration.

[0145] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the designated amount is 2 L, and the fourth preset duration is 35 s. Furthermore, the designated amount and the fourth preset duration may be any value set according to actual clothing treatment needs, and are not limited to the above example.

[0146] The final rinsing stage is a final water supply stage before the drying treatment. In the final rinsing stage, the first water supply pipeline 103 is not used for supplying water, and the second water supply pipeline 107 is used for supplying water, so as to prevent the formation of a water film when the water flow passes through the filter screen 106. The designated amount refers to the amount of water required for normal operation of the clothing treatment device in the final rinsing stage, and the fourth preset duration refers to the water input duration required for the clothing treatment device to obtain the amount of water required for the normal operation in the final rinsing stage. When the current water supply amount reaches the designated amount or the water supply duration reaches the fourth preset duration, it indicates that the amount of water required for final rinsing is sufficient, and the water supply through the second water supply pipeline 107 can be stopped.

[0001] The present disclosure is a Continuation Application of International Application No. PCT / CN2024 / 113398, filed on Aug. 20, 2024, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202311129993.8, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Aug. 31, 2023 and entitled “WATER SUPPLY CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS, CLOTHING TREATMENT DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular, to a water supply control method and apparatus, a clothing treatment device, and a storage medium.BACKGROUND ART

[0003] After the clothing treatment device performs a drying treatment on clothing, lint may be generated. To address this, a filter screen may be disposed in the air outlet channel that enables the drying assembly to be in communication with a clothing accommodating apparatus. In this way, during the drying treatment process, the airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus enters the drying assembly after passing through the air outlet channel, and impurities such as the lint carried by the airflow can be collected by the filter screen.

[0004] However, if the lint still remains on the filter screen after the drying treatment, the ventilation performance of the filter screen may be affected in the subsequent clothing treatment process, thereby affecting the drying effect.

[0005] Therefore, how to remove the lint generated by the drying treatment on the filter screen in a timely manner has become an urgent technical problem to be solved at present.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This configuration can not only supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, but also flush the clothing treatment agent in the clothing treatment agent box 102 into the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, thereby facilitating the treatment of the clothing to be treated in the clothing accommodating apparatus 101.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 2, the drying assembly 104 is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 and is configured to dry the airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus. The air outlet channel 105 enables the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 to be in communication with the drying assembly 104 to allow the airflow to pass through.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the air outlet channel 105 is shown in FIG. 3. The filter screen 106 is disposed in the air outlet channel 105 and is configured to filter the airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus and entering the drying assembly 104. A black arrow in FIG. 3 indicates an airflow direction.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the filter screen 106 is disposed perpendicular to a flow direction of the airflow.

[0053] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, the filter screen 106 may be obliquely disposed relative to the flow direction of the airflow to increase a cross-sectional area of the filter screen 106 for filtering the airflow, thereby fully filtering out lint and impurities.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a mesh structure of the filter screen 106 is shown in FIG. 4. Furthermore, the mesh structure of the filter screen 106 may also be any structure that meets the actual filtering requirements, such as a triangular mesh, a hexagonal mesh, or the like.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 5, the first water supply pipeline 103 is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the filter screen 106 and is configured to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the filter screen 106. The second water supply pipeline 107 is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the clothing treatment agent box 102, and is configured to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the clothing treatment agent box 102.

[0056] Furthermore, the clothing treatment device 100 further includes the water supply control portion 108. As shown in FIG. 6, the water supply control portion 108 is connected to the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107, and is configured to perform, when receiving a clothing treatment instruction, a water supply control method shown in FIG. 7, to cause the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 to supply water.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 7, a water supply control method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following:

[0058] In step 702, a first water supply treatment and a second water supply treatment are performed based on the clothing treatment instruction. The first water supply treatment is performed before and / or after the second water supply treatment, the first water supply treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 of the clothing treatment device through the first water supply pipeline 103, and the second water supply treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the second water supply pipeline 107.

[0059] The clothing treatment instruction is used to activate the clothing treatment device 100 to perform a clothing treatment.

[0060] Structures of the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 are as described above, and thus will not be repeated herein.

[0061] In one embodiment, based on the clothing treatment instruction, the first water supply treatment may be performed before the second water supply treatment. The first water supply treatment is to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 of the clothing treatment device through the first water supply pipeline 103, and the water supplied through the first water supply pipeline 103 flows through the filter screen 106 to flush away the lint and impurities, thereby being capable of cleaning the filter screen 106. After the filter screen 106 is flushed through the first water supply treatment, the second water supply treatment is performed to meet the water supply requirement of the clothing treatment mode indicated by the clothing treatment instruction.

[0062] In other words, before the clothing treatment is performed, the filter screen 106 is cleaned first to improve the effect of the current clothing treatment. Specifically, cleaning the filter screen 106 can increase a ventilation area of the filter screen 106, and improve the ventilation performance of the filter screen 106 during the execution of the clothing treatment instruction, thereby facilitating the improvement of the drying effect.

[0063] In another embodiment, based on the clothing treatment instruction, the second water supply treatment may be performed before the first water supply treatment. After the second water supply treatment is performed to meet the water supply requirement of the clothing treatment mode indicated by the clothing treatment instruction, the first water supply treatment is performed; that is, water is supplied to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 of the clothing treatment device through the first water supply pipeline 103. In this case, the water supplied through the first water supply pipeline 103 flows through the filter screen 106 to flush away the lint and impurities, thereby being capable of cleaning the filter screen 106.

[0064] In other words, after the clothing treatment is performed, the filter screen 106 is cleaned again to prevent the existing lint on the filter screen 106 from affecting the effect of the next and all subsequent clothing treatments. Cleaning the filter screen 106 can increase the ventilation area of the filter screen 106, and improve the ventilation performance of the filter screen 106, thereby facilitating the improvement of the drying effect.

[0065] In yet another embodiment, based on the clothing treatment instruction, the first water supply treatment may be performed first to clean the filter screen 106 first, thereby improving the effect of the current clothing treatment. Then, the second water supply treatment is performed again, and the first water supply treatment is performed again after the second water supply treatment is performed, so as to clean the filter screen 106 again after the clothing treatment, thereby preventing the existing lint on the filter screen 106 from affecting the effect of the next and all subsequent clothing treatments.

[0066] In the above technical solution, the filter screen 106 is cleaned before the water supply required for the clothing treatment, so as to improve the effect of the current clothing treatment; the filter screen 106 is cleaned again after the water supply required for the clothing treatment, so as to improve the effect of the next and all subsequent clothing treatments; and the filter screen 106 is cleaned both before and after the water supply required for the clothing treatment, so that the ventilation area of the filter screen can be improved, and the drying effect during the clothing treatment can be improved.

[0067] FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a water supply control method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 8, the water supply control method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0069] In step 802, a first clothing treatment mode is acquired based on the clothing treatment instruction. The first clothing treatment mode is a second clothing treatment mode indicated by the clothing treatment instruction or a third clothing treatment mode operated prior to the operation of the second clothing treatment mode.

[0070] In other words, the second clothing treatment mode is a clothing treatment mode required to be operated for the current clothing treatment, and the third clothing treatment mode is a clothing treatment mode operated for a historical clothing treatment that has been performed.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third clothing treatment mode is a previous clothing treatment mode adjacent to the second clothing treatment mode.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third clothing treatment mode includes at least one clothing treatment mode from clothing treatment modes operated for historical clothing treatments that have been performed.

[0073] When the first clothing treatment mode is a designated mode, the method enters step 804, and when the first clothing treatment mode is not the designated mode, the method enters step 806.

[0074] The designated mode is a clothing treatment mode including the drying treatment.

[0075] When the first clothing treatment mode includes the drying treatment, the airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 during a drying treatment process carries the lint and impurities. When the airflow passes through the filter screen 106, the lint and impurities are filtered by the filter screen 106 and remain on the filter screen 106. That is, the first clothing treatment mode causes the filter screen 106 to retain the lint and impurities, consequently affecting the effect of the subsequent clothing treatment.

[0076] Therefore, once the first clothing treatment mode includes the drying treatment, the filter screen 106 needs to be cleaned before and / or after the first clothing treatment mode is operated, so as to prevent the lint and impurities from affecting the subsequent clothing treatment effect after the first clothing treatment mode is operated.

[0077] In step 804, in response to determining to operate the second clothing treatment mode, the first water supply treatment and the second water supply treatment are performed. The first water supply treatment is performed before and / or after the second water supply treatment, the first water supply treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 of the clothing treatment device through the first water supply pipeline 103, and the second water supply treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the second water supply pipeline 107.

[0078] The first water supply treatment is used for cleaning the filter screen 106, and the second water supply treatment is used for supplying water for the clothing treatment in the second clothing treatment mode.

[0079] In step 806, the second water supply treatment is performed.

[0080] Furthermore, when the first clothing treatment mode is not the designated mode, that is, the first clothing treatment mode does not include the drying treatment, there is no need to clean the filter screen 106 through the first water supply treatment, and the second water supply treatment is directly performed to supply water for the clothing treatment in the second clothing treatment mode.

[0081] According to the above technical solution, after the clothing treatment mode including the drying treatment is operated, the first water supply treatment may be triggered to clean the filter screen 106, which improves the cleanliness of the filter screen 106 and is beneficial to improving the clothing treatment effect.

[0082] FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a water supply control method according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 9, the water supply control method according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0084] In step 902, the first water supply treatment is performed based on the clothing treatment instruction.

[0085] In step 904, a first drainage treatment and / or a second drainage treatment is performed in an initial drainage stage.

[0086] Specifically, after the first water supply treatment is performed to clean the filter screen 106, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment or the water for cleaning the filter screen 106 also needs to be discharged, so as to prevent the water for cleaning the filter screen 106 from affecting the amount of water in the subsequent clothing treatment process, thereby reducing the impact of flushing the filter screen 106 on the subsequent clothing treatment effect.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first drainage treatment includes discharging the water supplied by the first water supply treatment through a first drainage pipeline. A first end of the first drainage pipeline is in communication with the first water supply pipeline 103 through the filter screen 106, and a second end of the first drainage pipeline is in communication with the outside world.

[0088] The outside world includes, but is not limited to, a sewer pipe, a water collection apparatus, and the like outside the clothing treatment device 100, and includes, but is not limited to, any object outside the clothing treatment device 100 that is capable of accommodating the water discharged by the clothing treatment device 100.

[0089] The first drainage pipeline makes the filter screen 106 in communication with the outside world. The drainage thereof is equivalent to directly discharging the water used for flushing the filter screen 106 out of the clothing treatment device 100 through the air outlet channel 105, so as to prevent the water from being retained in other components of the clothing treatment device 100 during the discharging process, which affects the subsequent clothing treatment effect.

[0090] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage duration of the first drainage treatment is set to be a first preset duration.

[0091] Optionally, the first preset duration is set to be 10 s, 15 s, 18 s, or 20 s. Furthermore, the first preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.

[0092] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the second drainage treatment includes discharging the water supplied by the first water supply treatment through a second drainage pipeline, the first water supply pipeline 103 is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the filter screen 106, a first end of the second drainage pipeline is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, and a second end of the second drainage pipeline is in communication with the outside world.

[0093] The second drainage pipeline enables the filter screen 106 to be in communication with the outside world through the clothing accommodating apparatus 101; that is, the water used for flushing the filter screen 106 is discharged into the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the air outlet channel 105, and then discharged out of the clothing treatment device 100 through a drainage outlet of the clothing accommodating apparatus 101. In this way, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment can not only clean the filter screen 106, but also clean the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 when the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 is vacant, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect of the first water supply treatment on the clothing treatment device 100. Meanwhile, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment is discharged out of the clothing treatment device 100 through the drainage outlet of the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, so that there is no need to additionally dispose a communication port to the outside world in the air outlet channel 105. This structure allows the airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 to enter the drying assembly 104 through the air outlet channel 105 more smoothly, thereby improving the drying effect and enhancing the practicability of the clothing treatment mode including the drying treatment.

[0094] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage duration of the second drainage treatment is set to be a second preset duration.

[0095] Optionally, the second preset duration is set to be 10 s, 15 s, 18 s, or 20 s. Furthermore, the second preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.

[0096] In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a water supply duration of the first water supply treatment may also be set to be a third preset duration. The third preset duration is less than a drainage duration of the initial drainage stage. In this way, after water is supplied through the first water supply treatment for the third preset duration, the drainage duration greater than the third preset duration allows the water after cleaning the filter screen 106 to be completely discharged as much as possible, so as to prevent the insufficient drainage duration from causing the water after cleaning the filter screen 106 to remain in the clothing treatment device 100, which affects the clothing treatment effect.

[0097] Optionally, if the first preset duration and / or the second preset duration is 15 s, the third preset duration may be set to be 10 s.

[0098] Optionally, if the first preset duration is 15 s and the second preset duration is 12 s, the third preset duration may be set to be 10 s.

[0099] Furthermore, the third preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.

[0100] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a third drainage treatment and a fourth drainage treatment may be performed simultaneously or sequentially to improve the drainage speed and drainage amount.

[0101] In step 906, the second water supply treatment is performed.

[0102] FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a water supply control method according to still another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0103] As shown in FIG. 10, the water supply control method according to still another embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0104] In step 1002, the second water supply treatment is performed based on the clothing treatment instruction to meet a water supply requirement of the clothing treatment mode indicated by the clothing treatment instruction.

[0105] Step 1004, in response to determining that the second water supply treatment is completed, the first water supply treatment is performed to flush the filter screen 106.

[0106] In step 1006, the third drainage treatment and / or the fourth drainage treatment is performed in the final drainage stage.

[0107] Specifically, after the first water supply treatment is performed to clean the filter screen 106, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment or the water for cleaning the filter screen 106 also needs to be discharged, so as to prevent the water for cleaning the filter screen 106 from affecting the amount of water in the subsequent clothing treatment process, thereby reducing the impact of flushing the filter screen 106 on the subsequent clothing treatment effect.

[0108] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third drainage treatment includes discharging the water supplied by the first water supply treatment through the first drainage pipeline, the first end of the first drainage pipeline is in communication with the first water supply pipeline 103 through the filter screen 106, and the second end of the first drainage pipeline is in communication with the outside world.

[0109] The outside world includes, but is not limited to, a sewer pipe, a water collection apparatus, and the like outside the clothing treatment device 100, and includes, but is not limited to, any object outside the clothing treatment device 100 that is capable of accommodating the water discharged by the clothing treatment device 100.

[0110] The first drainage pipeline makes the filter screen 106 in communication with the outside world. The drainage thereof is equivalent to directly discharging the water used for flushing the filter screen 106 out of the clothing treatment device 100 through the air outlet channel 105, so as to prevent the water from being retained in other components of the clothing treatment device 100 during the discharging process, which affects the subsequent clothing treatment effect.

[0111] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage duration of the third drainage treatment is set to be a fifth preset duration.

[0112] Optionally, the fifth preset duration is set to be 10 s, 15 s, 18 s, or 20 s. Furthermore, the fifth preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.

[0113] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the fourth drainage treatment includes discharging the water supplied by the first water supply treatment through the second drainage pipeline, the first water supply pipeline 103 is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the filter screen 106, the first end of the second drainage pipeline is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, and the second end of the second drainage pipeline is in communication with the outside world.

[0114] The second drainage pipeline enables the filter screen 106 to be in communication with the outside world through the clothing accommodating apparatus 101; that is, the water used for flushing the filter screen 106 is discharged into the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the air outlet channel 105, and then discharged out of the clothing treatment device 100 through a drainage outlet of the clothing accommodating apparatus 101. In this way, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment can not only clean the filter screen 106, but also clean the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 when the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 is vacant, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect of the first water supply treatment on the clothing treatment device 100. Meanwhile, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment is discharged out of the clothing treatment device 100 through the drainage outlet of the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, so that there is no need to additionally dispose a communication port to the outside world in the air outlet channel 105. This structure allows the airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 to enter the drying assembly 104 through the air outlet channel 105 more smoothly, thereby improving the drying effect and enhancing the practicability of the clothing treatment mode including the drying treatment.

[0115] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage duration of the fourth drainage treatment is set to be a sixth preset duration.

[0116] Optionally, the sixth preset duration is set to be 10 s, 15 s, 18 s, or 20 s. Furthermore, the sixth preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.

[0117] In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the water supply duration of the first water supply treatment may also be set to be a seventh preset duration. The seventh preset duration is less than a drainage duration of the final drainage stage. In this way, after water is supplied through the first water supply treatment for the seventh preset duration, the drainage duration greater than the seventh preset duration allows the water after cleaning the filter screen 106 to be completely discharged as much as possible, so as to prevent the insufficient drainage duration from causing the water after cleaning the filter screen 106 to remain in the clothing treatment device 100, which affects the clothing treatment effect.

[0118] Optionally, if the fifth preset duration and / or the sixth preset duration is 15 s, the seventh preset duration may be set to be 10 s.

[0119] Optionally, if the fifth preset duration is 15 s and the sixth preset duration is 12 s, the seventh preset duration may be set to be 10 s.

[0120] Furthermore, the seventh preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.

[0121] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second water supply treatment further includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the first water supply pipeline 103.

[0122] On this basis, if the first water supply treatment is performed before the second water supply treatment, cleaning the filter screen 106 by the first water supply treatment can not only increase the ventilation area of the filter screen 106, but also increase a water flow area of the filter screen 106, thereby providing better water supply performance for the operation of supplying water through the first water supply pipeline 103 via the filter screen during the second water supply treatment.

[0123] If the first water supply treatment is performed after the second water supply treatment, cleaning the filter screen 106 by the first water supply treatment can not only increase the ventilation area of the filter screen 106, but also increase the water flow area of the filter screen 106, so that the first water supply pipeline 103 can provide better water supply performance for the subsequent clothing treatment, thereby improving the clothing treatment effect.

[0124] FIG. 11 is a flowchart of a second water supply treatment according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0125] As shown in FIG. 11, a flow of the second water supply treatment according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0126] In step 1102, a first water supply sub-treatment is performed in a first water supply stage of the second water supply treatment. The first water supply sub-treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the first water supply pipeline 103.

[0127] In step 1104, a second water supply sub-treatment is performed in a second water supply stage of the second water supply treatment. The second water supply stage occurs after the first water supply stage, and the second water supply sub-treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 only through the second water supply pipeline 107.

[0128] The water supply control portion 108 controls the first water supply pipeline 103 to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 during the first water supply stage of a second water supply treatment process, and controls the second water supply pipeline 107 to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 during the second water supply stage of the second water supply treatment process.

[0129] When the second water supply pipeline 107 supplies water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, the water flow passes through the filter screen 106 to flush away the lint and impurities. The applicant found through testing that after the water flow passes through the filter screen 106, a water film easily forms on a surface of the filter screen 106, which affects the drying performance. When the drying assembly 104 performs the drying treatment through the circulating airflow, the presence of the water film reduces the ventilation area of the filter screen 106, resulting in a reduction in the circulating airflow passing through the filter screen 106. Meanwhile, a portion of the airflow blocked by the water film accumulates heat, leading to an increase in the local temperature of the clothing treatment device 100, thereby affecting the safe operation and service life of local components. In addition, the circulating airflow is blocked by the water film, which may also cause high load and high temperature of a fan in the drying assembly 104, thereby affecting the safe operation and service life of the fan.

[0130] To address this, in the first water supply stage, water is supplied to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the first water supply pipeline 103, and the water flow passes through the filter screen 106, so that the lint and impurities on the filter screen 106 can be effectively cleaned. Next, before the drying assembly 104 performs the drying treatment, if no water is supplied to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the second water supply pipeline 107, no water flow passes through the filter screen 106. In this way, the filter screen 106 does not form a water film, the ventilation area of the filter screen 106 remains unchanged, and the circulating airflow passes through the filter screen 106 normally, so that the drying effect is not affected.

[0131] Therefore, a water supply process of the clothing treatment device 100 is divided into the first water supply stage and the second water supply stage. The first water supply stage is earlier than the second water supply stage. The interval between the first water supply stage and the drying treatment is longer than that between the second water supply stage and the drying treatment. In one embodiment, the second water supply stage is a final water supply stage before the drying treatment.

[0132] Specifically, the time from the first water supply stage to the drying treatment is longer, and even if a water film is formed, the water film may break in a short time, which does not affect the passage of the circulating airflow after a long period of time, and thus does not adversely affect the drying effect.

[0133] The time from the second water supply stage to the drying treatment is short. If water is still supplied through the first water supply pipeline 103, a water film is formed on the filter screen 106, and the water film still exists when the circulating airflow passes through. Therefore, in the second drying stage, water is supplied only through the second water supply pipeline 107. The water flow of the second water supply pipeline 107 does not flow through the filter screen 106, the filter screen 106 no longer generates a water film, and the circulating airflow can pass through the filter screen 106 without interference, so that the drying effect is not affected.

[0134] After the filter screen 106 is cleaned in the first water supply stage, the surface of the filter screen 106 may still have the possibility of forming a water film due to the relatively closed environment inside the clothing treatment device 100. To address this, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is detected that the filter screen 106 is seriously blocked, the second water supply pipeline 107 may be activated to flush the filter screen 106.

[0135] According to the above technical solution, the filter screen 106 is effectively cleaned in the first water supply stage, and in the second water supply stage, that is, the final water supply stage before drying, the first water supply pipeline 103 passing through the filter screen 106 is not used for supplying water, and the second water supply pipeline 107 not passing through the filter screen 106 is used for supplying water, so as to prevent the formation of a water film when the water flow passes through the filter screen 106. This not only achieves effective cleaning of the filter screen 106 and protects the drying effect against the influence of the water film, but also maintains the safe operation of a plurality of components including the fan, thereby prolonging the service life of the plurality of components.

[0136] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in the first water supply stage, a ratio of a total water supply duration of the second water supply pipeline 107 to a total water supply duration of the first water supply pipeline 103 is greater than or equal to zero.

[0137] In some actual clothing treatment scenarios where the clothing treatment agent is not required to be used, only the first water supply pipeline 103 is used to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 during the first water supply stage. In this case, the ratio of the total water supply duration of the second water supply pipeline 107 to the total water supply duration of the first water supply pipeline 103 is zero.

[0138] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first water supply sub-treatment further includes: supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus101 through the second water supply pipeline 107.

[0139] Specifically, to ensure that the amount of water supplied is sufficient, and / or when the clothing treatment agent is required in the clothing treatment, the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 are enabled to jointly supply water during the execution of the clothing treatment mode indicated by the clothing treatment. In this case, the ratio of the total water supply duration of the second water supply pipeline 107 to the total water supply duration of the first water supply pipeline 103 is greater than zero.

[0140] It should be noted that the ways in which the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 jointly supply water include: the first water supply pipeline 103 supplies water first, and the second water supply pipeline 107 supplies water later; the second water supply pipeline 107 supplies water first, and the first water supply pipeline 103 supplies water later; the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 supply water simultaneously; and the first water supply pipeline 103 and / or the second water supply pipeline 107 supplies water separately, and the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 may also supply water simultaneously, and the like.

[0141] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the first water supply stage includes an initial rinsing stage, and a ratio of the total water supply duration of the second water supply pipeline 107 in the initial rinsing stage to the total water supply duration of the first water supply pipeline 103 in the initial rinsing stage is greater than or equal to zero.

[0142] If the ratio is zero, it indicates that only the first water supply pipeline 103 is used for supplying water in the initial rinsing stage.

[0143] If the ratio is greater than zero, it indicates that both the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 can be used for supplying water in the initial rinsing stage.

[0144] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step that the second water supply sub-treatment is performed includes: when entering a final rinsing stage of the second water supply stage, the second water supply pipeline 107 is activated to supply water; and the water supply through the second water supply pipeline 107 is stopped when the water supply amount in the final rinsing stage reaches a designated amount or the water supply duration in the final rinsing stage reaches the fourth preset duration.

[0145] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the designated amount is 2 L, and the fourth preset duration is 35 s. Furthermore, the designated amount and the fourth preset duration may be any value set according to actual clothing treatment needs, and are not limited to the above example.

[0146] The final rinsing stage is a final water supply stage before the drying treatment. In the final rinsing stage, the first water supply pipeline 103 is not used for supplying water, and the second water supply pipeline 107 is used for supplying water, so as to prevent the formation of a water film when the water flow passes through the filter screen 106. The designated amount refers to the amount of water required for normal operation of the clothing treatment device in the final rinsing stage, and the fourth preset duration refers to the water input duration required for the clothing treatment device to obtain the amount of water required for the normal operation in the final rinsing stage. When the current water supply amount reaches the designated amount or the water supply duration reaches the fourth preset duration, it indicates that the amount of water required for final rinsing is sufficient, and the water supply through the second water supply pipeline 107 can be stopped.
