Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that the steps illustrated in the flowcharts of the figures may be performed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions and that, although a logical order is illustrated in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps illustrated or described may be performed in an order different than here.

Example 1

The embodiment 1 of the invention provides a steam nursing control method. Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a steam care control method in embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the steam care control method according to embodiment 1 of the present invention includes the steps of:

s101: after the clothes in the inner drum are ironed, cooling treatment is carried out on the clothes.

The ironing of the clothes in the inner barrel aims to ensure that the clothes load in the inner barrel can be fully unfolded, so that the clothes load in the inner barrel can uniformly absorb moisture, a certain wrinkle-removing water content is achieved, and wrinkles can be smoothed out. In particular, steam ironing can be adopted for ironing the clothes in the inner drum.

As a specific embodiment, the cooling process for the laundry includes: the air at a first temperature, wherein the first temperature is lower than the temperature for ironing the clothes in the inner drum. When the laundry in the drum is steam ironed, the first temperature is lower than a temperature of the steam.

For example, normal temperature wind may be introduced into the inner cylinder. Namely, after the air heating system of the washing machine is closed, the fan operates normally, and normal-temperature air can be continuously blown into the drum from the air outlet, so that the temperature of the surface of clothes is reduced.

It should be noted that, in the ironing stage, generally, steam needs to be introduced into the inner drum to iron the clothes in the inner drum, and because the temperature of the steam is higher, the temperature in the inner drum is also higher in the ironing stage; after the ironing stage is finished, air with a first temperature is introduced into the inner cylinder, and compared with hot air of the inner cylinder, the air is equivalent to blowing cold air into the inner cylinder.

S102: and after the temperature reduction treatment is finished, drying the clothes.

As specific embodiments, the following three methods may be employed to determine whether the cooling process is finished.

The first method comprises the following steps: acquiring an actual temperature of the laundry; and when the actual temperature is lower than a preset first temperature, judging that the cooling treatment is finished.

The second method comprises the following steps: acquiring the actual time length of the cooling treatment; and when the actual time length is greater than a preset first time length, judging that the cooling treatment is finished.

The third method is as follows: and simultaneously, the actual temperature of the clothes and the actual time length of the cooling treatment are used as the actual temperature is less than the preset first temperature, and the actual time length is greater than the preset first time length, so that the cooling treatment is judged to be finished.

For example, after the cooling air is blown for X minutes, it may be determined whether the temperature of the surface of the laundry has decreased to the normal temperature, if the temperature has decreased to the normal temperature, the drying stage is started, and if the temperature has not decreased to the normal temperature, the cooling air is continuously blown. It should be noted that the total duration of the cold air blowing phase is much shorter than the total steam ironing time.

Specifically, the actual temperature of the laundry may be acquired by a contact temperature sensor. Fig. 2 is a schematic position diagram of a contact temperature sensor of the inner drum, as shown in fig. 2, the contact temperature sensors 1 are distributed in one circle of the inner drum 2, so as to ensure that the real-time temperature of the surface of the clothes can be accurately monitored.

This is because the temperature of the steam is usually over 90 ℃ during steam ironing, so the temperature of the fabric of the clothes is also high, and if the fabric of the clothes is directly dried after the steam ironing is finished, the fabric of the clothes cannot be effectively cooled and then dried, which may cause damage to the fabric of the clothes. In the embodiment 1 of the invention, a link of blowing cold air is added at the end stage of steam ironing, and because steam can not be generated at the final stage of steam ironing, the steam ironing belongs to a cooling stage, the temperature on the surface of the fabric of the clothes can be reduced to a normal temperature level after the cold air is blown for a period of time, and the subsequent drying stage can be prepared. In the drying stage, because the fabric of the clothes is cooled to the normal temperature and has a certain water content, the temperature of the clothes is not high during drying, and the clothes can be effectively protected from being damaged by external high temperature.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of low-temperature drying according to the conventional clothes fabric matching. As shown in fig. 3, many current washing machines perform a lower temperature drying process in cooperation with the fabric of the clothes in the drying stage, which has the advantages of low temperature, no damage to the clothes, and long heating time. The temperature of the drying inlet air is raised from the normal temperature T1, and because the clothes contain moisture, the temperature of the surface of the clothes is not raised immediately when the temperature in the drum is raised, but the temperature is raised after the original temperature is maintained for a period of time, as can be seen from fig. 2, if the drying is started at a lower temperature, the temperature of the surface of the clothes is raised after the temperature is maintained at T1, and finally the proper drying temperature T2 is reached, and then the temperature is maintained until the drying is carried out for a longer time, and the whole drying process is also longer.

Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the initial high temperature drying in embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the temperature of the drying inlet air is raised from the normal temperature T1, and a high temperature T3 is used for drying in the initial stage of drying, since more moisture in the clothes can protect the clothes from being damaged in the initial stage of drying, under the condition that the moisture in the clothes is the same, since the high temperature T3 is used for drying in embodiment 1 of the present invention, compared with the lower temperature used for drying in fig. 2, the time for maintaining the surface temperature of the clothes in embodiment 1 of the present invention is shortened, and the temperature can be raised gradually after T2, that is, T2< T1. After T2, the temperature in the drum rises to a higher value T3, which accelerates the evaporation of moisture in the clothes, and in the process that the surface of the clothes reaches a proper temperature T2, it should be noted that as the moisture content decreases, the drying temperature in the drum also needs to decrease, preventing the damage caused by external high temperature. By using the method, the drying efficiency after steam ironing can be greatly improved on the premise of ensuring that the fabric of the clothes is not damaged. Wherein. T1< T2< T3. By adopting the method of the embodiment 1 of the invention, the maximum drying efficiency of each clothes fabric can be achieved in the drying stage of steam nursing.

Specifically, in embodiment 1 of the present invention, the main manner of drying the laundry is heat pump drying or electric heating drying. The heat pump type drying device is characterized in that the heat pump type drying device operates through a heat pump system, comprises a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser and a throttle valve, and is matched with the operation of a circulating fan to heat air in a cylinder, take away moisture, complete heat exchange and achieve the effect of drying clothes. The electric heating type drying is to heat air by matching a fan through a heating element in an air duct, blow the air into a cylinder and take out water vapor, so as to achieve the drying effect.

As shown in fig. 4, the drying temperature in the tub, i.e., the drying inlet air temperature, is increased from T1 to T3 by the two drying methods, and after drying for a while, the drying temperature in the tub is decreased from T3 to T2. For electric heating type drying, the drying temperature in the drum can be reduced only by closing the heating element and keeping the fan on; for heat pump type drying, the drying temperature in the cylinder can be reduced by closing the heat pump system and keeping the fan open, and the heat pump system can also run reversely to form a refrigerating system of the air conditioner, so that the drying temperature in the cylinder is cooled, and the cooling rate of the reverse running mode is higher than that of the mode of closing the electric heating or the heat pump system.

As a further embodiment, drying the laundry includes: starting a drying device to introduce hot air with a preset initial drying temperature into the inner cylinder; when the introduction time of the hot air at the initial drying temperature reaches a preset second time length, closing a heating element in the drying device or controlling the heating element in the drying device to reversely move so as to introduce the hot air at the preset second temperature into the inner cylinder; wherein the initial drying temperature is determined according to the fabric of the clothes and the moisture content of the clothes, and the second temperature is lower than the initial drying temperature.

Specifically, the method for determining the second duration includes: acquiring an optimal surface drying temperature of the clothes; obtaining the heating time length of the clothes according to the actual temperature of the clothes, the optimal drying temperature of the clothes and the heating power of the drying device; obtaining the cooling time of the hot air according to the initial drying temperature of the hot air and the optimal surface drying temperature of the clothes; and subtracting the cooling time length of the hot air from the heating time length of the clothes to obtain the second time length.

Namely, the time for the surface temperature of certain clothes to rise from normal temperature to the optimal drying temperature is set as t1, the cooling time length of the hot air is t2 according to the initial drying temperature required by the clothes and the optimal surface drying temperature of the clothes, and the second time length = t1-t2. The magnitude of t1 is different according to the heating power, and if the heating power is high, t1 is smaller, otherwise t1 is larger. t2 is influenced by the cooling rate, if the cooling rate is high, t2 becomes small, otherwise t2 becomes large.

More specifically, obtaining the cooling duration of the hot air according to the initial drying temperature of the hot air and the optimal drying temperature of the clothes includes: obtaining the cooling rate of the inner barrel; subtracting the optimal drying temperature of the clothes from the initial drying temperature of the hot air to obtain a temperature difference; and dividing the temperature difference by the cooling rate of the inner barrel to obtain the cooling duration of the hot air.

It should be noted that the cooling rate of the load in the inner cylinder is a constant value.

Because the material of each kind of clothing surface fabric is all different, each kind of clothing all has different best surface drying temperature. In practical application, the moisture content of the clothes obtained in the steam ironing stage is the same for different clothes, and is generally not lower than 35%; the drying time period of the drying stage is also the same. Therefore, different initial drying temperatures are needed when the optimal surface drying temperature is reached under the premise that the moisture content and the drying time are fixed.

Illustratively, the optimum surface drying temperature required for the cotton and linen is 55-65 ℃, the corresponding initial drying temperature is 65-75 ℃, and the preferred drying temperature is 75 ℃;

the optimal surface drying temperature required by the chemical fiber is 45-55 ℃, the corresponding initial drying temperature is 55-65 ℃, and the optimal surface drying temperature is 65 ℃;

the optimal surface drying temperature required by the wool is 30-40 ℃, the corresponding initial drying temperature is 40-55 ℃, and the optimal surface drying temperature is preferably 50 ℃;

the optimal surface drying temperature required by the down jacket is 55-65 ℃, the corresponding initial drying temperature is 65-75 ℃, and the optimal surface drying temperature is 75 ℃;

the optimal surface drying temperature required by silk is 30-40 ℃, the corresponding initial drying temperature is 40-50 ℃, and the optimal surface drying temperature is 50 ℃;

the optimal surface drying temperature required by the shirt is 40-50 ℃, the corresponding initial drying temperature is 55-70 ℃, and the optimal surface drying temperature is 70 ℃;

the optimum surface drying temperature for the suit is 35-45 deg.C, corresponding to an initial drying temperature of 45-60 deg.C, preferably 55 deg.C.

Specifically, the method for determining the second duration includes: acquiring an optimal drying temperature of the laundry; obtaining the cooling time of the hot air according to the initial drying temperature of the hot air and the optimal surface drying temperature of the clothes; obtaining the heating time length of the clothes according to the actual temperature of the clothes and the optimal surface drying temperature of the clothes; and subtracting the cooling time length of the hot air from the heating time length of the clothes to obtain the second time length.

More specifically, obtaining the cooling duration of the hot air according to the initial drying temperature of the hot air and the optimal drying temperature of the laundry includes: obtaining the cooling rate of the inner barrel; subtracting the optimal drying temperature of the clothes from the initial drying temperature of the hot air to obtain a temperature difference; and dividing the temperature difference by the cooling rate of the inner barrel to obtain the cooling duration of the hot air.

Fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of an example of the steam care control method in embodiment 1 of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 5, the steam care control method in embodiment 1 of the present invention includes the following steps:

step 1: starting up and receiving the selected nursing program;

step 2: the washing machine is controlled to enter a steam ironing stage, and the steam generator can generate high-temperature steam and introduce the high-temperature steam into the drum.

And step 3: after the steam ironing stage is finished, the fan blows cold air into the inner barrel. A link of blowing cold air is added at the end stage of steam ironing, and because steam can not be generated at the final stage of steam ironing, the steam ironing belongs to a cooling stage, the temperature on the surface of the fabric of the clothes can be reduced to a normal temperature level after the cold air is blown for a period of time, and the subsequent drying stage can be prepared. In the drying stage, because the fabric of the clothes is cooled to the normal temperature and has a certain water content, the temperature of the clothes is not high during drying, and the clothes can be effectively protected from being damaged by external high temperature.

And 4, step 4: judging whether the clothes reach normal temperature, and turning to the step 5 when the clothes reach the normal temperature; when the clothes do not reach the normal temperature, turning to the step 3;

and 5: and in the drying stage, selecting proper drying temperature according to the nursing program to perform high-temperature drying. The method comprises the steps that a proper initial drying high temperature is selected according to a selected nursing program, after cold air is blown at the end of steam ironing, the fabric of clothes is cooled to a normal temperature state at the moment, and meanwhile, the fabric of the clothes has a certain moisture content, the clothes are dried at a higher temperature, the temperature can not rise very high due to certain moisture content, the clothes can be effectively protected from being damaged by external high temperature, when the temperature in a drum is higher, the clothes can quickly and just reach a proper temperature state under the obstruction of the moisture content, the temperature rising rate can be increased compared with the conventional low-temperature drying matched with the fabric of the clothes, the drying efficiency is improved, in the process that the surface of the clothes reaches the proper temperature, the drying temperature in the drum can also slowly decrease along with the increase of the surface temperature of the clothes and the decrease of the moisture content, the temperature starts to be reduced after the high temperature lasts for Y minutes, the moisture content of the clothes finally reaches a state that the surface temperature of the clothes and the drying temperature in the drum are basically level, Y is less than the whole drying time and is longer than the temperature rising to the high temperature.

Step 6: and drying at high temperature for Y minutes, and cooling and drying until the drying is finished.

In summary, the steam nursing control method of embodiment 1 of the present invention has the following advantages:

Most of the prior art blows cold air when drying is finished, so that the cooling process of clothes is accelerated, the drying process is shortened, and the effect of protecting the materials of the clothes is not achieved.

(2) The problem of current washing machine's steam nursing's drying phase permanent when drying is solved, this scheme rises to the higher stage of a temperature when the drying phase begins, and clothing temperature is lower this moment, and the moisture content is high, and consequently moisture wherein can effectual protection clothing, makes it dry with high temperature, and follow-up in-process cooling again of slowly losing water of clothing uses low temperature drying. When the temperature in the drum is higher, the clothes can reach a proper temperature state quickly under the obstruction of moisture, and when the surface of the clothes reaches a proper temperature, the drying temperature in the drum can also slowly reduce along with the rise of the temperature and the reduction of the moisture content, and finally the moisture content of the clothes is low, and the surface temperature of the clothes and the drying temperature in the drum are basically in a flat state. Meanwhile, different clothes fabrics can reach a proper clothes surface drying temperature only by different drying high temperatures under a certain water content, so that different clothes fabrics can correspond to different drying high temperatures one by one to achieve a mapping relation.
