in addition to any one of the first to seventh embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 7, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes: an exhaust pipe 400 communicating with the first chamber 224.

In this embodiment, the laundry treating apparatus is further provided with an exhaust duct 400. Wherein the exhaust pipe 400 is in communication with the first chamber 224. The exhaust duct 400 may perform an exhausting and guiding function, and may guide the steam generated in the heating region to a designated region while exhausting the steam, so as to improve a laundry treating capability.

Example nine:

as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the hand-held steamer is composed of an exhaust pipe 400, a water tank 310, a support member 220, a base 240, a partition 322, a heating member 230, a valve body 332, a spring, a push rod 342 and a sealing member 344.

The exhaust pipe 400 is a steam outlet.

The water tank 310 is provided with a water storage chamber for storing water used for generating steam, and the water tank 310 is in a sealed state except for the lower water outlet 336. A valve body 332 is arranged at the water outlet below the water tank 310, a water outlet 336 is arranged below the valve body 332, and water in the water tank 310 enters the heating area through the water outlet 336. A valve spool 340 is disposed within the valve body 332, the valve spool 340 including a spring, a push rod 342, and a seal 344.

The support 220 functions to fix and support the water tank 310; the bottom surface of the supporting member 220 is provided with a convex portion 222, which functions as: when the water tank 310 is filled with water and loaded into the supporting member 220, the protrusion 222 pushes the push rod 342 upward, the push rod 342 compresses the spring, and the push rod 342 drives the sealing member 344 mounted on the upper end thereof to move upward, so that the water in the water tank 310 enters the heating region through the gap between the valve body 332 and the sealing member 344; in the water adding state in which the water tank 310 is separated from the supporting member 220, the sealing member 344 moves downward due to the elastic force of the spring and is closely attached to the valve body 332 to prevent the water in the water tank 310 from flowing out, thereby facilitating the water adding operation of the user.

The material of the seal 344 is silicone or rubber.

The base 240 is installed below the supporting member 220 to perform supporting and protecting functions.

The partition 322 is assembled with the water tank 310 as one body. The partition 322 has a partition 326 that separates water into a cold zone (second chamber 226) and a hot zone (first chamber 224), which facilitates rapid warming of the water in the hot zone to produce steam. The partition 322 is also provided with a steam passage 324, and steam generated in the hot zone is discharged through the steam passage 324 and the exhaust pipe 400.

The heating member 230 is installed at the bottom of the supporting member 220, and the supporting member 220 is provided with a through hole to expose a part of the hot surface of the heating member 230 to contact water, thereby forming a heating surface.

The heating member 230 may be a heat generating plate, a thick film heating sheet, a PTC heating sheet, or the like.

The water level detection assembly is mounted on the support member 220 for detecting the water level in the cold area, and when the water level in the cold area is detected to be too low, the control program stops heating, so that no water is dried.

The exhaust pipe 400, the water tank 310, the partition 322, the valve body 332, the spring, the push rod 342 and the sealing member 344 are assembled as one assembly, and the support member 220, the base 240 and the heating member 230 are assembled as one assembly, which can be easily separated, so that a user can conveniently add water into the water tank 310 through the valve body 332; secondly, the incrustation scale is easily produced to heating surface and support piece 220 internal surface because often with water contact, and two subassembly after separation, the user can conveniently clear up the incrustation scale clean up, has improved the painful point that current garment steamer sealed zone of heating can't clear up the incrustation scale.

As shown in fig. 7, the principle of operation of the garment steamer is: the user fills water into the water tank 310 through the valve body 332, the water tank 310 is installed in the supporting member 220, the push rod 342 is pushed up by the convex portion 222, the push rod 342 compresses the spring and simultaneously drives the sealing member 344 to move upwards, water in the water tank 310 enters the valve body 332 through the gap between the valve body 332 and the sealing member 344 and then enters the heating area formed by the supporting member 220 and the partition plate 322 through the water outlet 336 on the valve body 332, when the water in the heating area does not pass through the upper side of the water outlet 336, external air cannot enter the water tank 310 from the water outlet 336, therefore, the water in the water tank 310 cannot flow outwards any more (otherwise, negative pressure is formed in the water tank 310), when the water in the heating area is heated and evaporated and reduced, and the water outlet 336 is exposed again, the water in the water tank 310 is replenished into the heating area, and thus, automatic water replenishment can be realized. A gap is formed between the lower surface of the partition 326 and the upper surface of the supporter 220 and the heating surface, and water enters the region inside the partition 326 through the gap and contacts the heating surface.

After the heating by electrifying, the water above the heating surface absorbs heat rapidly, is vaporized into steam, and is discharged through the steam channel 324 and the exhaust pipe 400, and the partition part 326 plays a role of heat insulation, so that the water in the cold area outside the water can only absorb heat slowly, which is beneficial to improving the heat absorption efficiency of the hot area and shortening the time for generating steam. During the heating process, high pressure is generated after water is vaporized into steam in the heating zone surrounded by the partition 326, so that water in the cold zone cannot enter the heating zone temporarily, and the water in the cold zone can not be supplemented to the heating zone gradually until the water contained in the heating zone is completely evaporated or nearly completely evaporated (pressure is insufficient).

The controller controls the heating component 230 to operate at a low power second power during the water refill phase to avoid overheating damage to the heating component 230.

Example sixteen:

fig. 13 shows a flowchart of a control method of a laundry treatment apparatus according to another second aspect of the present invention.

The flow of the control method of the clothes treatment device provided by the embodiment of the second aspect of the invention specifically comprises the following steps:

step 1302: detecting the water level; if the water level is acceptable, step 1304 is executed, and if the water level is not acceptable, the process is ended.

Step 1304: temperature rise (full power);

step 1306: front section heating (full power);

step 1308: back-end heating (power reduction);

step 1310: water replenishment (low power).

Specifically, as shown in fig. 14, wherein the water level detection: in the program starting stage, the water level of the water tank is detected through the water level detection assembly, and when the water level is too low, heating is stopped, so that no water is dried;

and (3) heating: when the water level is normal, the heating element is heated up at the maximum power, and the temperature of the water in the heating area is increased along with the heating element;

front section heating: when the water quantity in the heating area is sufficient, the heating element is heated at the maximum power, so that the water in the heating area can absorb heat quickly and be vaporized into water vapor;

rear-stage heating: when the water yield in the zone of heating drops to a certain numerical value L, heating element reduces heating power step by step, and this can not influence the speed that steam produced, because the heating of a set time, the temperature of water in the zone of heating has risen by a wide margin, and the difference in temperature on water and heating element surface reduces by a wide margin, and the water yield in the zone of heating is constantly reducing moreover, and therefore the required heat of water vaporization compares the anterior segment and heats for a short time, and required heating power is also less.

The method for determining the water volume threshold L comprises the following steps:

the water level detection can be carried out by arranging a water level detection element in the heating zone, and when the water level detection element detects that the water level is lower than a threshold value L, the heating power of the heating part is started to be reduced;

can be determined by calculating the time required for all the water in the heating zone to evaporate into water vapor, and the related calculation formula is as follows:

q1 is the heat to be absorbed when the water on the heating surface is vaporized, C is the specific heat of the water, m is the mass of the water in the heating area, delta T is the temperature difference between the water and the heating surface, Q2 is the heat released in the unit time of the heating element, and P is the power of the heating element.

Q1= Cm Δ T, Q2= Pt, and when the water amount in the heating zone is totally evaporated into steam, Q1= Q2, and the time T = Cm Δ T/P required for the water in the heating zone to totally evaporate into steam is set, therefore, it is programmatically possible to set the power of the heating element to start to be reduced before the heating time T reaches, for example, to set the time of the front-stage heating to 4/5T and the time of the rear-stage heating to 1/5T, that is, to start to reduce the power of the heating element from the time of 4/5T. The specific setting needs to be determined according to the specific structure and heating effect of the product. In this way, the water level detection element in the heating area can be omitted, and the product cost is lower.

Water replenishing: at this time, the water in the heating area is completely evaporated or nearly completely evaporated, and no larger air pressure can be generated, so that the water in the cold area can be gradually supplemented to the heating area.

In the water replenishing stage, the heating element runs at a lower power, so that the heating element can be prevented from being damaged due to dry burning and rapid temperature rise under the condition that the heating area has no water or less water, and the heating element can be prevented from being damaged due to cold and hot impact caused by cold water entering the heating area instantly to the heating element.

The running power of the heating element in the water replenishing stage can be determined according to the safe dry-burning power of the heating element.

The duration of the water replenishing stage can be determined according to the actual water replenishing time of the product.

After the water replenishing stage is finished, the water level detection assembly can detect the water level of the water tank again to judge whether the water level is normal or not, and therefore whether the program continues to run or not is judged. When the water level detection is normal, the operation is continued according to the program of temperature rise → front stage heating → rear stage heating → water supplement.
