[0046] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0047] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0048] The technical solution provided in this disclosure is applicable to a garment processing device having a accommodating cavity and a drying assembly. The drying assembly has an air duct communicating with the accommodating cavity. The drying assembly includes a power structure and a heating structure. The heating structure includes a compressor and an auxiliary heating structure to assist in heating the circulating air entering the accommodating cavity. In practical applications, the drying assembly typically also includes an auxiliary cooling structure, an evaporator, a condenser, etc., to exchange heat with the circulating air during the drying process based on these structures, and to dry the garments based on the circulating air flowing into the accommodating cavity during the heat exchange process. Exemplarily, the garment processing device can be a heat pump dryer, a heat pump washer-dryer combo, or other heat pump drying equipment, and is not limited thereto.

[0049] The control method for the clothing processing equipment provided in this embodiment of the invention enables precise control of the start-up timing of the heating structure by activating the heating structure when the first operating parameter of the power structure meets the first preset condition, thereby improving the working safety of the clothing processing equipment.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first operating parameter may specifically be the rotational speed of the power structure, and the heating structure is activated when the first operating parameter meets a first preset condition, such as the rotational speed reaching a rotational speed threshold; or, the first operating parameter may specifically be the first operating duration of the power structure, and the heating structure is activated when the first operating parameter meets a first preset condition, such as the first operating duration reaching a first duration threshold. In this way, the activation timing of the heating structure can be precisely controlled by combining the first operating parameter of the power structure, which helps to improve the operational safety of the clothing processing equipment.

[0051] In some embodiments, during the activation of the heating structure, the auxiliary heating structure can be activated first. Then, second operating parameters of the auxiliary heating structure during operation are acquired. When the second operating parameters meet a second preset condition, the compressor is then activated. This allows for precise control of the compressor's activation timing based on the second operating parameters of the auxiliary heating structure, improving the operational safety of the garment processing equipment.

[0052] In some embodiments, the second operating parameter may specifically be the second operating time of the auxiliary heating structure, and the compressor is started when the second operating parameter meets the second preset condition, such as when the second operating time reaches the second duration threshold; or, the second operating parameter may specifically be the outlet temperature of the circulating air in the air duct after passing through the accommodating cavity, and the compressor is started when the second operating parameter meets the second preset condition, such as when the outlet temperature reaches the temperature threshold.

[0053] In some embodiments, operating parameters may be obtained, and a second duration threshold may be determined based on the operating parameters. For example, the operating parameters may include at least one of ambient temperature, heating power of auxiliary heating structure, wind speed of circulating air in air duct, and heat transfer coefficient of refrigerant driven by compressor, to enrich the method for determining the second duration threshold.

[0054] The control method, apparatus, medium, and equipment of the garment processing equipment provided in this disclosure will be described by way of example below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] Figure 1 is a schematic flowchart of a control method for a garment processing device according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The garment processing device to which this control method is applicable includes at least a receiving cavity for accommodating garments and a drying assembly with an air duct. The air duct is connected to the receiving cavity, and the drying assembly includes a power structure and a heating structure. This control method can be executed by a control device, such as a controller of the garment processing device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware. Referring to Figure 1, the control method may include the following steps:

[0056] S110, Obtain the first operating parameters during the operation of the dynamic structure.

[0057] The power structure is a structure used to provide power to the garment processing equipment. For example, the power structure may be a fan that provides power to transmit gas, or it may be a motor (commonly known as a roller motor) that provides tumbling power to the receiving cavity. In other embodiments, the power structure may also be a related structure for providing other power. The configuration can be tailored to the actual control requirements of the heating structure according to the embodiments of this disclosure, and is not limited herein.

[0058] For example, taking a fan as an example of a power structure, the first operating parameter can be the fan's operating parameters, such as the fan's speed, running time, operating power, air volume, or other operating parameters known to those skilled in the art, which are not limited here.

[0059] Specifically, by acquiring the first operating parameters during the operation of the power structure, it is easier to determine whether the first operating parameters meet the subsequent first preset conditions, so as to achieve precise control of the start-up timing of the heating structure based on the judgment result.

[0060] S120. Based on the first operating parameters meeting the first preset conditions, the heating structure is started.

[0061] The first preset condition is a judgment condition used to determine whether to control the start of the heating structure.

[0062] Specifically, based on the operation of the power structure, if the first operating parameter of the power structure meets the first preset condition, it indicates that the power structure is currently in the expected working state, and then the heating structure is activated; conversely, if the first operating parameter of the power structure does not meet the first preset condition, it indicates that the power structure is currently not in the expected working state, and then the heating structure will not be activated, that is, the heating structure is currently kept off. The specific content of the first preset condition will be explained by example later.

[0063] It should be noted that existing technical solutions typically only activate the relevant internal components in a fixed sequence at set times. Taking the power structure and heating structure as examples, existing garment processing equipment will activate the power structure and heating structure sequentially at fixed times, without considering the influence of other factors during the drying process, such as the operating parameters of the relevant components. This makes the activation timing of the heating structure in existing garment processing equipment unreasonable, resulting in poor working safety of existing heat pump washer-dryer combos and easily creating safety hazards.

[0064] Compared with the prior art solutions mentioned above, the technical solution provided in this disclosure takes into account the influence of other factors such as the working parameters of related components, and combines the first operating parameters of the power structure to precisely control the start-up timing of the heating structure, making the start-up timing of the heating structure more reasonable, which is conducive to improving the working safety of the clothing processing equipment and avoiding safety hazards from the clothing processing equipment.

[0065] The control method for a garment processing device provided in this disclosure includes: acquiring first operating parameters during the operation of a power structure; and activating a heating structure based on the first operating parameters meeting a first preset condition. Thus, by activating the heating structure when the first operating parameters of the power structure meet the first preset condition, precise control of the activation timing of the heating structure is achieved, which helps improve the operational safety of the garment processing device.

[0066] In some embodiments, FIG2 is a schematic diagram of a garment processing device provided in this disclosure. Referring to FIG2, the garment processing device includes a receiving cavity 21 and a drying assembly 22 having an air duct 221. The drying assembly 22 includes a fan 222, a compressor 223, and an auxiliary heating structure 224. The fan 222 constitutes a power structure 01, and the compressor 223 and the auxiliary heating structure 224 constitute a heating structure 02. In addition, in practical applications, the drying assembly usually also includes an evaporator 225 and a condenser 226. It can be seen that the evaporator 225, the condenser 226, and the compressor 223 together constitute a heat pump drying system that relies on refrigerant. At the same time, the circulating air flows through the air duct 221 to exchange heat with related structures such as the evaporator 225 and the condenser 226, and the garments are dried based on the circulating air flowing to the receiving cavity 21 during the heat exchange process.

[0067] For example, Figure 2 shows the refrigerant circulation loop for the evaporator 225, compressor 223, and condenser 226 through the direction of the thick dashed arrows, and the circulation path of the circulating air through the direction of the thin dashed arrows; wherein, the compressor 223 is connected between the evaporator 225 and the condenser 226; in the direction of the circulation path of the circulating air, the auxiliary heating structure 224 and the fan 222 are arranged sequentially between the condenser 226 and the accommodating cavity 21. The auxiliary heating structure 224 is used to heat up the circulating air that is to pass through the accommodating cavity 21, thereby increasing the temperature of the circulating air and thus improving the drying efficiency. The fan 222 is used to provide transmission power for the circulating air heated by the auxiliary heating structure 224.

[0068] For example, referring to Figure 2, starting from the accommodating cavity 21, the circulating air passes through the accommodating cavity 21, evaporator 225, condenser 226, auxiliary heating structure 224, and fan 222 in the circulation path direction, and then passes through the accommodating cavity 21 again for circulation.

[0069] It should be noted that the garment processing equipment may also include a housing. Based on this, the spatial relative positions of the compressor 223, evaporator 225 and condenser 226 are illustrated as follows: the compressor 223 may be located at the bottom of the housing, and both the evaporator 225 and the condenser 226 may be located at the top of the housing, with the evaporator 225 and the condenser 226 respectively connected to the compressor 223.

[0070] Referring to the structure shown in Figure 2, the relevant control processes of the power structure 01 and the heating structure 02 will be explained in detail below through various embodiments.

[0071] In some embodiments, based on Figures 1 and 2, the first operating parameter in S110 includes the rotational speed of the power structure 01; the first preset condition in S120 includes: the rotational speed reaches a rotational speed threshold.

[0072] Specifically, the rotational speed of the power structure 01 can be the rotational speed of the fan 222. Specifically, if the rotational speed of the fan 222 reaches the rotational speed threshold, that is, when the rotational speed of the fan 222 meets the first preset condition, it indicates that the current rotational speed of the fan 222 is as expected, and the heating structure 02 is activated. Conversely, if the rotational speed of the fan 222 does not reach the rotational speed threshold, that is, when the rotational speed of the fan 222 does not meet the first preset condition, it indicates that the current rotational speed of the fan 222 is not as expected, and the heating structure 02 will not be activated.

[0073] The speed threshold is the expected speed. For example, the speed threshold can be 500 r / min, 800 r / min, 1000 r / min or other speed values. Taking 800 r / min as an example, when the speed of the fan 222 reaches 800 r / min, it includes: if the speed of the fan 222 is greater than or equal to 800 r / min, then the heating structure 02 is activated. In other embodiments, the speed threshold can also be set according to the actual control requirements of the heating structure 02 according to the embodiments of this disclosure, which is not limited here.

[0074] Therefore, when the speed of the fan 222 meets the expectation, the heating structure 02 is started. Based on taking into account the influence of the fan's operating parameters, the starting time of the heating structure 02 can be precisely controlled, making the starting time of the heating structure 02 more reasonable.

[0075] In addition, after the drying program starts, the drum motor and the fan 222 can be started sequentially at fixed times. The fixed times for starting the drum motor and the fan 222 can be set according to the operating requirements of the garment processing equipment and are not limited here.

[0076] In some embodiments, based on Figures 1 and 2, the first operating parameter in S110 includes the first operating duration of the power structure 01; the first preset condition in S120 includes: the first operating duration reaches a first duration threshold.

[0077] Specifically, the first operating time of the power structure 01 can be the first operating time of the fan 222. Specifically, if the first operating time of the fan 222 reaches a first operating time threshold, that is, the first operating time of the fan 222 meets a first preset condition, indicating that the first operating time of the fan 222 is as expected, then the heating structure 02 will be activated. Conversely, if the first operating time of the fan 222 does not reach the first operating time threshold, that is, the first operating time of the fan 222 does not meet the first preset condition, indicating that the first operating time of the fan 222 is not as expected, then the heating structure 02 will not be activated.

[0078] The first duration threshold is the expected duration for the fan 222. For example, the first duration threshold can be 20 seconds, 50 seconds, one minute, or other durations. Taking one minute as an example, when the first running time of the fan 222 reaches one minute, it includes: if the first running time of the fan 222 is greater than or equal to one minute, then the heating structure 02 is activated. In other embodiments, the first duration threshold can also be set according to the actual control requirements of the heating structure 02 according to the embodiments of this disclosure, which is not limited here.

[0079] It should be noted that when the first running time of the fan 222 reaches the first duration threshold, the speed of the fan 222 can usually reach the speed threshold mentioned above.

[0080] Therefore, when the first running time of the fan 222 meets the expectation, the heating structure 02 is started. Based on the influence of the fan's operating parameters, the starting time of the heating structure 02 can be precisely controlled, making the starting time of the heating structure 02 more reasonable.

[0081] In some embodiments, based on Figures 1 and 2, the heating structure is activated in S120, specifically including the following steps:

[0082] Step 1: Activate the auxiliary heating structure.

[0083] The auxiliary heating structure 224 serves as an auxiliary heat source. Specifically, when the first operating parameters of the fan 222 meet the first preset conditions, the auxiliary heating structure 224 is activated to provide heat to the interior of the garment processing equipment, thereby increasing the drying temperature.

[0084] For example, the auxiliary heating structure 224 may be an auxiliary electric heater to provide high heating based on electric auxiliary heating. In other embodiments, the auxiliary heating structure 224 may also be other types of heating structures known to those skilled in the art, and are not limited herein.

[0085] Step 2: Obtain the second operating parameters during the operation of the auxiliary heating structure.

[0086] For example, the second operating parameter may be the operating parameters of the auxiliary heating structure 224, such as the operating time of the auxiliary heating structure 224, heating power, the relevant temperature around the auxiliary heating structure 224, or other operating parameters of the auxiliary heating structure 224 known to those skilled in the art, which are not limited here.

[0087] Specifically, by acquiring the second operating parameters during the operation of the auxiliary heating structure 224, it is easier to determine whether the second operating parameters meet the subsequent second preset conditions, so as to achieve precise control of the start-up timing of the compressor 223 based on the judgment result.

[0088] Step 3: Start the compressor based on the second operating parameters meeting the second preset conditions.

[0089] The second preset condition is a judgment condition used to determine whether to control the compressor 223 to start.

[0090] Specifically, based on the operation of the auxiliary heating structure 224, if the second operating parameter of the auxiliary heating structure 224 meets the second preset condition, it indicates that the auxiliary heating structure 224 is currently in the expected working state, and then the compressor 223 is started; otherwise, if the second operating parameter of the auxiliary heating structure 224 does not meet the second preset condition, it indicates that the auxiliary heating structure 224 is currently not in the expected working state, and then the compressor 223 will not be started, that is, the compressor 223 is currently kept off. The specific content of the second preset condition will be explained by example later.

[0091] In some embodiments, based on Figures 1 and 2, the second operating parameter in the above steps includes the second operating time of the auxiliary heating structure; the second preset condition includes: the second operating time reaches the second duration threshold.

[0092] The second duration threshold is the expected duration for the auxiliary heating structure 224. Specifically, if the second running time of the auxiliary heating structure 224 reaches the second duration threshold, that is, the second running time of the auxiliary heating structure 224 meets the second preset condition, indicating that the second running time of the auxiliary heating structure 224 is as expected, then the compressor 223 is started; conversely, if the second running time of the auxiliary heating structure 224 does not reach the second duration threshold, that is, the second running time of the auxiliary heating structure 224 does not meet the second preset condition, indicating that the second running time of the auxiliary heating structure 224 is not as expected, then the compressor 223 is not started.

[0093] For example, the second duration threshold can be 3 to 5 minutes, such as 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes or other durations or ranges. Taking 3 minutes as an example, when the second running time of the auxiliary heating structure 224 reaches 3 minutes, including when the second running time of the auxiliary heating structure 224 is greater than or equal to 3 minutes, the compressor 223 is started. In other embodiments, the second duration threshold can also be set according to the actual control requirements of the compressor 223 according to the embodiments of this disclosure, which is not limited here.

[0094] Therefore, when the second running time of the auxiliary heating structure 224 meets the expectation, the compressor 223 is started. Based on taking into account the influence of the working parameters of the auxiliary heating structure 224, the starting time of the compressor 223 can be precisely controlled, making the starting time of the compressor 223 more reasonable.

[0095] In some embodiments, based on Figures 1 and 2, the control method of the garment processing device further includes the following steps:

[0096] Step 1: Obtain working parameters.

[0097] The operating parameters include at least one of the following: ambient temperature, heating power of the auxiliary heating structure, air velocity of the circulating air in the duct, and heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant driven by the compressor.

[0098] Specifically, by combining at least one of the above operating parameters, it is easier to further determine the interval between the sequential activation of the auxiliary heating structure 224 and the compressor 223. This facilitates precise control of the start-up timing of the compressor 223, taking into account the influence of multiple operating parameters, and ensures good working performance of the clothing processing equipment.

[0099] Step 2: Determine the second duration threshold based on the working parameters.

[0100] Taking ambient temperature as an example, it can be seen that the ambient temperature is related to the heating efficiency of compressor 223. Specifically, when the ambient temperature is high, the heating efficiency of compressor 223 is high, and conversely, when the ambient temperature is low, the heating efficiency of compressor 223 is low.

[0101] It should be noted that the evaporator 225, compressor 223 and condenser 226 constitute a heat pump system, which can both heat and cool. For example, the circulating air can be heated by the condenser 226, and the circulating air can be cooled by the evaporator 225.

[0102] For example, when the ambient temperature is very low, the temperature of the circulating air is also low, and consequently the temperature of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation loop is also low. At this time, the heating efficiency of the heat pump system will be poor, which is equivalent to cooling. As a result, the compressor 223 will waste energy when it is turned on. Conversely, when the ambient temperature is high, the temperature of the circulating air is also high, and consequently the temperature of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation loop is also high. At this time, the heating efficiency of the heat pump system will be better, which will help the compressor 223 save energy.

[0103] Therefore, when the ambient temperature is very low, the interval between the activation of the auxiliary heating structure 224 and the compressor 223 can be relatively long, that is, the second duration threshold is relatively large, so that the heat pump system starts later; for example, the second duration threshold for the lower ambient temperature can be 4 minutes, 5 minutes or other durations, which are not limited here.

[0104] Thus, by starting the compressor 223 when the auxiliary heating structure 224 generates more heat or when the current drying temperature reaches a higher temperature, the drying temperature can be increased quickly to ensure the drying effect of the garment processing equipment. In addition, the garment processing equipment can save energy and reduce noise interference in the initial stage of compressor 223 startup.

[0105] In contrast, when the ambient temperature is high, the interval between the activation of the auxiliary heating structure 224 and the compressor 223 can be shorter, that is, the second duration threshold is smaller, so that the heat pump system starts earlier. For example, the second duration threshold for higher ambient temperatures can be 30 seconds, 40 seconds or other durations, which must be less than the second duration threshold for lower ambient temperatures, but is not limited here.

[0106] Thus, by starting the compressor 223 when the auxiliary heating structure 224 generates less heat, the drying time can be further shortened and the drying speed can be increased while rapidly raising the drying temperature.

[0107] In other embodiments, the interval between the sequential activation of the auxiliary heating structure 224 and the compressor 223 can be determined based on the heating power of the auxiliary heating structure, the wind speed of the circulating air in the air duct, and the heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant driven by the compressor. The specific determination method can be understood by referring to the determination method above, and will not be elaborated or limited here.

[0108] In some embodiments, based on Figures 1 and 2, the second operating parameter in the above steps also includes the outlet temperature of the circulating air in the air duct after passing through the containment cavity (also the temperature of the circulating air leaving the containment cavity); the second preset condition also includes: the outlet temperature reaches a temperature threshold.

[0109] The temperature threshold is the expected temperature. Specifically, if the temperature of the outlet bucket after the circulating air in the duct passes through the containment cavity reaches the temperature threshold, it indicates that the outlet bucket temperature meets expectations, and the compressor 223 is started; conversely, if the temperature of the outlet bucket after the circulating air in the duct passes through the containment cavity does not reach the temperature threshold, it indicates that the outlet bucket temperature does not meet expectations, and the compressor 223 will not be started.

[0110] For example, a temperature sensor or temperature and humidity sensor, such as a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, can be installed at the outlet of the receiving cavity. This NTC thermistor can be used to collect the outlet temperature of the circulating air after passing through the receiving cavity and transmit it to the control device so that the control device can obtain the outlet temperature. In other embodiments, other methods can be used to monitor the outlet temperature of the circulating air after passing through the receiving cavity, which are not limited here.

[0111] For example, the temperature threshold can be 10℃ to 40℃, such as 10℃, 20℃, 30℃ or other temperatures or temperature ranges. Here, a temperature threshold of 20℃ is taken as an example. When the outlet temperature reaches 20℃, the compressor 223 is started when the outlet temperature is greater than or equal to 20℃. In other embodiments, the temperature threshold can also be set according to the actual control requirements of the compressor 223 according to the embodiments of this disclosure, which is not limited here.

[0112] Therefore, when the outlet temperature of the circulating air in the air duct after passing through the containment cavity meets the expectation, the compressor 223 is started. Based on taking into account the influence of the corresponding working parameters, the starting time of the compressor 223 can be precisely controlled, making the starting time of the compressor 223 more reasonable.

[0113] In addition, the temperature threshold can be adaptively adjusted according to the different systems (referring to clothing processing equipment) and system test data. Specifically, different systems can be tested for temperature thresholds to determine a more suitable temperature threshold for the corresponding system, so as to ensure the heating efficiency of compressor 223.

[0114] It should be noted that, in conjunction with the corresponding embodiments above, when starting the compressor 223, the compressor 223 needs to be controlled to start slowly.
