Background

With the improvement of the quality of life, the requirements of people on the quality of life are higher and higher. The traditional garment steamer adopts a main heater for heating, and in the heating process, because the air duct is longer, water vapor is easy to condense at the place of the outlet of the ironing head, so that water spraying is caused, and the ironing effect is influenced.

In order to solve the problem of water spraying at the outlet of the ironing head in the related art, a heating system for secondary heating is added in the ironing head to prevent water vapor from being condensed into water. However, in the heating mode, because the heating system for secondary heating is added at the ironing head, the heating power of the original heating system must be reduced on the premise that the total heating power is not changed, which leads to the reduction of the steam volume of the garment steamer, the incapability of continuously generating steam with large steam volume, the prolongation of the garment steamer duration and the influence on the satisfaction degree of the user in using the garment steamer.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be described in further detail with reference to the attached drawings, the described embodiments should not be considered as limiting the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

In the following description, references to the terms "first \ second \ third" are only to distinguish similar objects and do not denote a particular order, but rather the terms "first \ second \ third" are used to interchange specific orders or sequences, where appropriate, so as to enable the embodiments of the application described herein to be practiced in other than the order shown or described herein.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of the present application only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

For better understanding of the embodiments of the present application, a description will be first given of a control apparatus and a control method in the related art, and disadvantages present therein.

In the related art, a control apparatus includes a heating system, a delivery system, and a water tank. In the process of controlling the generation of the water vapor, the conveying system conveys the water in the water tank to the heating system, and the heating system vaporizes the water into the water vapor and outputs the water vapor. In the control mode of generating the steam, the heating system heats with the maximum heating power, and the control device generates a large amount of steam in unit time. However, in the control mode, the primary vaporization is insufficient, so that the outputted water vapor contains water which is not completely vaporized, and the water spraying phenomenon is caused.

In view of the above problems, another control apparatus is provided in the related art, which includes two heating systems (a main heating system and an auxiliary heating system), one conveying system, and a water tank. In the process of controlling to generate steam, the conveying system conveys water in the water tank to the main heating system, and the main heating system is controlled to vaporize the water into the steam; and then the conveying system conveys the water vapor obtained by vaporization of the main heating system to the auxiliary heating system, and the auxiliary heating system is controlled to vaporize the water vapor again and then output the water vapor. The control mode of generating the water vapor can ensure the output of the completely vaporized water vapor and solve the water spraying phenomenon. However, under the premise that the total heating power is not changed, in this control manner for generating steam, because the auxiliary heating system is added, the heating power of the main heating system is smaller than that of the heating system in the control device including only one heating system, so that the amount of steam generated by the control device in unit time is reduced.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a control method applied to a control device including three heating systems, two delivery systems and a water tank, by which the problem that the first control device is not sufficiently vaporized and the output water vapor has water that is not completely vaporized can be solved, and the problem that the second control device generates a small amount of steam can be solved. The control method provided by the embodiment of the application can realize the increase of the steam quantity on the premise of not increasing the maximum heating power of the control equipment, and meets the requirement of a user on large-steam-quantity control equipment.

An exemplary application of the control apparatus implementing the embodiments of the present application is explained below. Based on the problems of small steam quantity, poor effect and long time consumption of household appliances capable of generating steam, such as a garment steamer, a steam rice cooker, a steam clothes care machine, a steam dish washing machine and the like in the related art, the embodiment of the application provides a control method applied to control equipment capable of generating steam. The method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be implemented by a computer program, and when the computer program is executed, each step in the control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is completed. In some embodiments, the computer program may be executed by a processor in the control device. Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of an implementation of a control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 1, the control method includes the following steps:

and S101, controlling the first heating system to heat based on the temperature of the first heating system after the control equipment is started.

In the embodiment of the application, the control device is a device capable of generating water vapor and realizing wrinkle removal, sterilization, cooking or other functions by utilizing the water vapor. The control method provided by the application is explained below by taking a garment steamer as an example. In the following, the control device is designated in particular as a garment steamer, unless otherwise specified.

A garment steamer, also called a hanging iron or a vertical iron, is a machine capable of hanging and ironing clothes and cloth, and mainly comprises an inner core (a steam heater), a water tank, a water pump, a steam nozzle (also called an ironing head), a steam conduit (also called an air duct) and the like. The working principle of the garment steamer is as follows: after the garment steamer is electrified by adding water, the heater adopted by the inner core of the garment steamer vaporizes normal-temperature water into high-temperature (generally over 98 ℃) and high-pressure steam, the scorching steam is contacted with clothes or cloth through the steam guide pipe and the spray head, the purpose of softening the fiber tissues of the clothes and the cloth is achieved, and the clothes and the cloth are leveled through the actions of pulling, pressing and spraying, so that the clothes achieve the effects of leveling, softening, mite removing, degerming and dedusting.

When a user irones clothes or cloth by using the garment steamer, the switch of the garment steamer is turned on, a starting instruction is triggered, and the garment steamer is started by responding to the starting instruction. After the start-up is completed, the control equipment detects the temperature of the first heating system and controls the first heating system to heat according to the real-time temperature of the first heating system. Wherein the first heating system is a main heating system which vaporizes water into steam. Here, the controlling the first heating system to perform heating includes controlling the first heating system to start heating and controlling the first heating system to stop heating.

In some embodiments, controlling the first heating system to heat based on the temperature of the first heating system may be implemented as: under the condition that the temperature of the first heating system is detected to be smaller than a first lower temperature threshold, controlling the first heating system to start heating; and controlling the first heating system to stop heating when the temperature of the first heating system is detected to reach a first upper temperature threshold value.

In order to ensure that the first heating system can vaporize water into steam, the first lower temperature threshold may be set to any value between 100 ℃ (celsius) and 120 ℃, for example, 110 ℃. In order to avoid damage to components in the first heating system due to high temperature, the first upper temperature threshold may be set to any value between 170 ℃ and 200 ℃, for example, 195 ℃.

And S102, controlling the second heating system to heat based on the temperature of the second heating system.

After the control equipment is started, the temperature of the first heating system is detected, meanwhile, the temperature of the second heating system is also detected, and the second heating system is controlled to heat according to the real-time temperature of the second heating system. Wherein the second heating system is the same as the first heating system, and is also the main heating system for vaporizing water into steam. Here, the controlling the second heating system to perform heating includes controlling the second heating system to start heating and controlling the second heating system to stop heating.

In some embodiments, controlling the second heating system to heat based on the temperature of the second heating system may be implemented as: controlling a second heating system to start heating under the condition that the temperature of the second heating system is detected to be smaller than a second lower temperature threshold value; and controlling the second heating system to stop heating when the temperature of the second heating system is detected to reach a second upper temperature threshold value.

Here, in order to ensure that the second heating system can vaporize water into steam, the second lower temperature threshold may be any value between 100 ℃ (celsius degrees and 120 ℃, for example, 110 ℃. In order to avoid damage to components in the second heating system due to high temperature, the second upper temperature threshold may be set to any value between 170 ℃ and 200 ℃, for example, 195 ℃.

And S103, under the condition that the starting time of the control equipment reaches a preset time threshold value, controlling the first conveying system to convey water to the first heating system for vaporization, controlling the second conveying system to convey water to the second heating system for vaporization, and conveying the water vapor obtained by vaporization of the first heating system and the water vapor obtained by vaporization of the second heating system to the third heating system for vaporization again to generate the water vapor for output.

Generally, after the control device is started, the water in the water tank is low in temperature and cannot be rapidly evaporated into water vapor, and a heating system needs a period of time to heat the water to a temperature at which the water can be vaporized into the water vapor, so that the water vapor is not generated in the period of time. In the embodiment of the application, after the control device is started, the timer starts to time, and whether the first conveying system and the second conveying system are controlled to start conveying water or not is determined according to the starting time length of the control device, so that whether water vapor is started or not is determined.

When the starting time of the control equipment reaches a preset time threshold, namely the starting time is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold, controlling the first conveying system to convey water in the water tank to the first heating system, and vaporizing the water into steam by using the high temperature of the first heating system; and simultaneously controlling the second conveying system to convey the water in the water tank to the second heating system, and vaporizing the water into steam by using the high temperature of the second heating system. Then the first conveying system continuously conveys the water vapor obtained by vaporization of the first heating system to the third heating system for vaporization again, and the second conveying system continuously conveys the water vapor obtained by vaporization of the second heating system to the third heating system for vaporization again so as to ensure that the completely vaporized water vapor is output.

When the starting time of the control equipment does not reach the preset time threshold, namely the starting time is smaller than the preset time threshold, the timer continues timing until the starting time of the control equipment reaches the preset time threshold, and the first conveying system and the second conveying system are controlled to start conveying.

The preset time threshold may be a default value preset by the control device, or may be a user-defined value set by the user, for example, 10s (seconds).

In the embodiment of the application, the first conveying system comprises a first water pump and a first air duct, the control device controls the first water pump of the first conveying system, water is conveyed to the first heating system from the water tank to be vaporized, the obtained water vapor is conveyed to the third heating system through the first air duct of the first conveying system to be vaporized again, and therefore the water vapor used for output is obtained.

The second conveying system comprises a second water pump and a second air duct, the control device controls the second water pump of the second conveying system, water is conveyed from the water tank to the second heating system to be vaporized, the obtained water vapor is conveyed to the third heating system through the second air duct of the second conveying system to be vaporized again, and therefore the water vapor for output is obtained.

Wherein, the first air duct that first conveying system included and the second air duct that second conveying system included can be two independent air ducts, also can be the air duct of intercommunication, and first air duct and second air duct intercommunication are constituteed a tee bend air duct this moment. One joint of the three-way gas guide tube is connected with the first heating system, one joint is connected with the second heating system, and the other joint is connected with the third heating system.

And step S104, controlling the third heating system to start heating when the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating.

After the control equipment is started, the first heating system and the second heating system start heating. In the heating process, the temperatures of the first heating system and the second heating system are continuously detected to determine whether to control the first heating system or control the second heating system to stop heating, so that the damage to components in the first heating system and the second heating system due to overhigh temperature is avoided. When the temperature of the first heating system is detected to reach a first upper temperature threshold, the first heating system is controlled to stop heating, or when the temperature of the second heating system is detected to reach a second upper temperature threshold, the second heating system is controlled to stop heating, and then the third heating system is controlled to start heating.

In the embodiment of the present application, the control device may control the third heating system to start heating not only at the time when the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating, but also throughout the time when the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating.

In practical application, when the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating, if the temperature of the third heating system is lower, the third heating system can be controlled to immediately start heating; when the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating, if the temperature of the third heating system is higher, the temperature of the third heating system can completely vaporize the water vapor, and the third heating system does not need to be controlled to immediately start heating. Based on this, in some embodiments, the real-time temperature of the third heating system may be detected after detecting that the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating; and if the temperature of the third heating system is detected to be lower than the third temperature lower limit threshold, controlling the third heating system to start heating. In this way, when it is determined that the third heating system needs heating, it is controlled to start heating, and the energy consumption of the control device can be reduced.

After the water vapor obtained by vaporization of the first heating system and the second heating system is conveyed to the third heating system, water which is not completely vaporized exists in the water vapor due to condensation, and in order to ensure that the completely vaporized water vapor is output, the lower threshold of the third temperature can be set to any value between 100 ℃ (centigrade) and 120 ℃ (for example, 110 ℃).

In the embodiment of the application, one of the first heating system and the second heating system can be heating, and the other heating system stops heating (i.e. heating is not simultaneously performed), and can also be simultaneously heating, and can also be simultaneously not heating; the first heating system and the third heating system can be heated at different times, can be heated at the same time, and can also be not heated at the same time; the second heating system and the third heating system can be heated at different times, can be heated at the same time, and can also be not heated at the same time; and in the time when the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating, the third heating system can heat, namely the first heating system, the second heating system and the third heating system do not heat at the same time. It should be noted that, when the first heating system and the second heating system heat simultaneously, the second heating system and the third heating system heat simultaneously, and the first heating system and the third heating system heat simultaneously, the total heating power is not greater than the maximum heating power of the control device.

In the embodiment of the application, when utilizing first heating system to vaporize water into vapor, also utilize the second heating system to vaporize water into vapor simultaneously, thereby can increase the steam volume of production, when first heating system or second heating system stop heating, heat third heating system, in order to utilize third heating system to vaporize vapor once more, ensure that the vapor of output can vaporize completely, avoid the steam condensation to lead to the emergence of the water spray condition, be applied to garment steamer with this method, can satisfy the demand that the user utilized the clothes cloth of big steam volume ironing thick material or special material, and, last big steam volume ironing, can improve the effect of ironing, it is long when shortening the ironing. In addition, the third heating system is controlled to heat in the interval of stopping heating of the first heating system or the second heating system, and the total heating power of the control device can be ensured not to exceed the maximum heating power.

The control method provided by the embodiment of the application is applied to a control device capable of generating water vapor, and comprises the following steps: after the control equipment is started, respectively controlling a first heating system and a second heating system to heat based on the temperature of the first heating system and the temperature of the second heating system; under the condition that the starting time of the control equipment reaches a preset time threshold value, controlling a first conveying system to convey water to a first heating system for vaporization, controlling a second conveying system to convey water to a second heating system for vaporization, and respectively conveying steam obtained by vaporization of the first heating system and steam obtained by vaporization of the second heating system to a third heating system for re-vaporization so as to generate steam for output; controlling the third heating system to start heating when it is detected that the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating. By the method, the completely vaporized steam can be continuously and stably output on the premise of not increasing the maximum heating power of the control equipment, the steam quantity can be increased, and the requirement of a user on large-steam-quantity control equipment is met.

In some embodiments, the step S103 of controlling the first delivery system to deliver water to the first heating system for vaporization and the step S of controlling the second delivery system to deliver water to the second heating system for vaporization in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 can be implemented by the following steps:

and step S1031, detecting the temperature of the first heating system and the temperature of the second heating system.

And a detection module of the control equipment detects the real-time temperatures of the first heating system and the second heating system respectively. The detection module is a device capable of detecting temperature, such as a thermometer, a temperature sensor, and the like.

Step S1032 determines a first conveying speed according to the temperature of the first heating system.

In one implementation, step S1032 may be implemented by: comparing the temperature of the first heating system with a first lower temperature threshold and a first upper temperature threshold respectively; determining the first conveying speed as a first speed in a case where the temperature of the first heating system is less than the first lower temperature threshold; determining the first conveying speed as a second speed in a case where the temperature of the first heating system is greater than or equal to the first lower temperature threshold and less than the first upper temperature threshold; determining the first conveying speed as a third speed in a case where the temperature of the first heating system is greater than or equal to the first upper temperature threshold.

Wherein the first speed is less than a second speed, the second speed being less than a third speed.

And step S1033, controlling the first conveying system to convey the water to the first heating system for vaporization based on the first conveying speed.

The first speed is lower than the second speed, and the second speed is lower than the third speed, which can be seen that the higher the temperature of the first heating system is, the faster the first water pump delivers water to the first heating system, i.e. the more water is delivered to the first heating system per unit time, so that the more water vapor is vaporized per unit time of the first heating system.

Step S1034, determining a second conveying speed according to the temperature of the second heating system.

The method of determining the second conveying speed can be seen here in the implementation of determining the first conveying speed in dependence on the temperature of the first heating system.

Step S1035, controlling the second delivery system to deliver water to the second heating system for vaporization based on the second delivery rate.

As with the first heating system, the higher the temperature of the second heating system, the faster the second water pump delivers water to the second heating system, i.e., the more water delivered to the second heating system per unit time, resulting in more water vapor vaporized per unit time of the second heating system.

The method provided by the embodiment of the application realizes flexible control of the quantity of the output water vapor by controlling the speed of the water conveyed by the conveying system through the temperature of the heating system, ensures that the water passing through the heating system is fully vaporized into the water vapor, and ensures the effect of the output water vapor.

In some embodiments, the step S101 "controlling the first heating system to heat based on the temperature of the first heating system" in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 can be implemented by:

in step S1011, the temperature of the first heating system is detected.

A detection module of the control device detects the real-time temperature of the first heating system. The detection module is a device capable of detecting temperature, such as a thermometer, a temperature sensor, and the like.

Step S1012, controlling the first heating system to start heating when detecting that the temperature of the first heating system is less than a first lower temperature threshold.

The detection module detects the real-time temperature of the first heating system and judges whether the real-time temperature is smaller than a first temperature lower limit threshold value or not so as to determine whether the first heating system needs to be controlled to immediately start heating or not.

When the temperature of the first heating system is detected to be lower than the first lower temperature threshold value, which indicates that the current temperature of the first heating system is low, the first heating system is controlled to start heating in order to ensure that the water delivered to the first heating system can be sufficiently vaporized into water vapor.

The first lower temperature threshold may be any value between 100 ℃ and 120 ℃, for example, 110 ℃.

In step S1013, in a case where it is detected that the temperature of the first heating system is greater than or equal to the first lower temperature threshold, the temperature of the second heating system is detected.

When the temperature of the first heating system is detected to be greater than or equal to the first lower temperature threshold, the current temperature of the first heating system is indicated to sufficiently vaporize the water delivered to the first heating system into water vapor, so that the first heating system does not need to be controlled to immediately heat. The real-time temperature of the second heating system is detected at this time to determine whether the second heating system needs to be controlled to start heating.

And step S1014, controlling the second heating system to start heating when detecting that the temperature of the second heating system is less than a second temperature lower limit threshold value.

Similar to the judgment process of controlling the first heating system to start heating, the detection module detects the real-time temperature of the second heating system, and judges whether the real-time temperature is smaller than a second temperature lower limit threshold value or not so as to determine whether the second heating system needs to be controlled to start heating immediately or not.

When the temperature of the second heating system is detected to be lower than the second temperature lower limit threshold value, which indicates that the current temperature of the second heating system is low, in order to ensure that the water delivered to the second heating system can be sufficiently vaporized into water vapor, the second heating system is controlled to start heating.

The second lower temperature threshold may be any value between 100 ℃ and 120 ℃, for example, 110 ℃.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the application, before the first heating system or the second heating system is controlled to start heating, the respective current temperature is detected, the first heating system is controlled to start heating when the temperature of the first heating system is lower than a first temperature lower limit threshold value, and the second heating system is controlled to start heating when the temperature of the second heating system is lower than a second temperature lower limit threshold value, so that the temperatures of the first heating system and the second heating system can be maintained above the respective temperature lower limit values, water is ensured to be completely vaporized into water vapor, and the phenomenon that water is sprayed due to the fact that the water vapor which is not completely vaporized at an outlet of a control device is avoided.

In some embodiments, the temperature of the second heating system may fall below the second lower temperature threshold during heating of the first heating system, and thus, the temperature of the second heating system is continuously detected during heating of the first heating system. One implementation is: after the above-mentioned step S1012 "control the first heating system to start heating", the following steps are performed:

step S121, detecting the temperature of the second heating system.

And step S122, controlling the third heating system to stop heating and controlling the second heating system to start heating when the temperature of the second heating system is detected to be smaller than a second temperature lower limit threshold.

During the heating of the first heating system, the temperature of the second heating system is lowered due to the vaporization heat absorption during the vaporization of the water into the water vapor by the second heating system, so that the temperature of the second heating system may be less than the second lower temperature threshold. On the basis of this, the real-time temperature of the second heating system is continuously detected during the heating of the first heating system. And controlling the third heating system to immediately stop heating (if the third heating system is not heated, the third heating system does not need to be controlled to stop heating), and controlling the second heating system to immediately start heating once the temperature of the second heating system is detected to be less than the second lower temperature threshold. At this time, the first heating system and the second heating system heat simultaneously.

And S123, detecting the temperature of the first heating system under the condition that the temperature of the second heating system is detected to be greater than or equal to a second lower temperature threshold.

And step S124, controlling the first heating system to stop heating when the temperature of the first heating system is detected to reach a first upper temperature threshold.

The first upper temperature threshold may be any value between 170 ℃ and 200 ℃, for example 195 ℃.

After step S122 is performed, or when it is detected that the temperature of the second heating system is greater than or equal to the second lower temperature threshold, step S123 is continuously performed to detect the real-time temperature of the first heating system.

When the temperature of the first heating system is detected to be lower than the first upper temperature threshold, the control returns to step S121 to continue to control the first heating system to heat. When the temperature of the first heating system is detected to be greater than or equal to the first upper temperature threshold, the temperature of the first heating system is indicated to reach the upper limit value, the first heating system does not need to be heated continuously at the moment, the control device controls the first heating system to stop heating, the continuous heating damage to the component by the first heating system is avoided, the service life of the control device can be prolonged, and the energy consumption of the control device can be reduced.

In some embodiments, the temperature of the first heating system may fall below the first lower temperature threshold during heating of the second heating system, and thus the temperature of the first heating system is continuously detected during heating of the second heating system. One implementation is as follows: after the above-mentioned step S1014 "control the second heating system to start heating", the following steps are performed:

in step S141, the temperature of the first heating system is detected.

And step S142, controlling the third heating system to stop heating and controlling the first heating system to start heating when the temperature of the first heating system is detected to be smaller than the first lower temperature threshold.

During the heating of the second heating system, the temperature of the first heating system may be decreased due to the vaporization heat absorption during the vaporization of the water into the water vapor by the first heating system, so that the temperature of the first heating system may be less than the first lower temperature threshold. On the basis of the real-time temperature of the first heating system, the real-time temperature of the second heating system is continuously detected in the heating process. And controlling the third heating system to immediately stop heating (if the third heating system is not heated, the third heating system does not need to be controlled to stop heating), and controlling the first heating system to immediately start heating once the temperature of the first heating system is detected to be less than the first lower temperature threshold. At this time, the second heating system and the first heating system are simultaneously heated.

And step S143, detecting the temperature of a second heating system under the condition that the temperature of the first heating system is detected to be greater than or equal to a first lower temperature threshold value.

And step S144, controlling the second heating system to stop heating when the temperature of the second heating system is detected to reach a second upper temperature threshold.

The second upper temperature threshold may be any value between 170 ℃ and 200 ℃, for example 195 ℃.

After step S142 is performed, or when it is detected that the temperature of the first heating system is greater than or equal to the first lower temperature threshold, step S143 is continuously performed to detect the real-time temperature of the second heating system.

When the temperature of the second heating system is detected to be less than the second upper temperature threshold, the control returns to step S141 to continue to control the second heating system to heat. When the temperature of the second heating system is detected to be greater than or equal to the second temperature upper limit threshold, the temperature of the second heating system is indicated to reach the upper limit value, the second heating system does not need to be heated continuously at the moment, the control device controls the second heating system to stop heating, the second heating system is prevented from continuously heating and damaging the assembly, the service life of the control device can be prolonged, and the energy consumption of the control device can be reduced.

After the above steps S1011 to S1014, step S104 "control the third heating system to start heating", that is, "control the third heating system to start heating when it is detected that the temperature of the first heating system is greater than or equal to the first lower temperature threshold and the temperature of the second heating system is greater than or equal to the second lower temperature threshold".

When the temperature of the first heating system is detected to be greater than or equal to the first lower temperature threshold value, the current temperature of the first heating system is indicated to completely vaporize the water delivered to the first heating system into water vapor, so that the first heating system does not need to be controlled to heat immediately, namely, the first heating system is in a state of stopping heating. Alternatively, when the temperature of the second heating system is detected to be greater than or equal to the second lower temperature threshold, it indicates that the current temperature of the second heating system can also completely vaporize the water delivered to the second heating system into water vapor, so that the second heating system does not need to be controlled to heat immediately, i.e., the second heating system is in a state of stopping heating. And then controlling the third heating system to start heating.

In the embodiment of the application, the heating of the third heating system is controlled by utilizing the gap which is not heated by the first heating system or the second heating system, so that the completely vaporized steam is ensured to be output on the premise of not increasing the maximum heating power of the control equipment, the steam quantity can be increased, and the requirement of a user on large steam quantity control equipment is met.

In some embodiments, the step S104 "controlling the third heating system to start heating when it is detected that the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating" in the above embodiments may be implemented by:

in step S1041, when it is detected that the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating, a temperature of a third heating system is detected.

Here, the real-time temperature of the third heating system is detected by a detection module of the control device. After the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating, if the temperature of the third heating system is lower and the water cannot be vaporized into steam, controlling the third heating system to immediately start heating; when the temperature of the third heating system is relatively high enough to vaporize the water into steam, even if the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating, it is not necessary to control the third heating system to immediately heat.

Step S1042, controlling the third heating system to start heating when it is detected that the temperature of the third heating system is less than a third lower threshold.

And if the temperature of the third heating system is detected to be smaller than the third lower temperature threshold, controlling the third heating system to immediately start heating. At this time, when the first heating system stops heating, the second heating system and the third heating system may heat at the same time; when the second heating system stops heating, the first heating system and the third heating system may heat up simultaneously. It should be noted that, when the second heating system and the third heating system heat simultaneously, and the first heating system and the third heating system heat simultaneously, the total heating power is not greater than the maximum heating power of the control device.

The third lower temperature threshold may be any value between 100 ℃ and 120 ℃, for example, 110 ℃.

According to the embodiment of the application, on the premise that the first heating system or the second heating system stops heating, the temperature of the third heating system is detected, when the third heating system cannot ensure that the water vapor is completely vaporized, the third heating system is controlled to start heating, the time period when the first heating system and the second heating system stop heating is effectively utilized to heat the third heating system, so that the steam quantity can be increased, the completely vaporized water vapor can be ensured to be output, and the energy consumption of the control equipment can be reduced.

In some embodiments, the temperature of the first heating system or the second heating system may decrease below the respective lower temperature limit during heating of the third heating system, and therefore, the temperature of the first heating system and the temperature of the second heating system are continuously detected during heating of the third heating system. One implementation is as follows: after the aforementioned step S1042 "controlling the third heating system to start heating", the control method may further perform the following steps:

step S0421, detecting a temperature of the first heating system.

And S0422, controlling a third heating system to stop heating when the temperature of the first heating system is detected to be less than a first lower temperature threshold.

In step S0423, the first heating system is controlled to restart heating.

In the process of heating the third heating system, since the first heating system vaporizes the water into the water vapor, the vaporization absorbs heat to lower the temperature of the first heating system, so that the temperature of the first heating system may be less than the first lower temperature threshold. On the basis of this, the real-time temperature of the first heating system is continuously detected during the heating of the third heating system. And controlling the third heating system to immediately stop heating and controlling the first heating system to immediately restart heating once the temperature of the first heating system is detected to be less than the first lower temperature threshold.

And step S0424, detecting the temperature of the second heating system under the condition that the temperature of the first heating system is detected to be greater than or equal to a first lower temperature threshold.

And S0425, controlling the third heating system to stop heating when the temperature of the second heating system is detected to be less than a second lower temperature threshold.

And step S0426, controlling the second heating system to restart heating.

During the heating of the third heating system, since the vaporization heat absorption reduces the temperature of the second heating system during the vaporization of the water into the water vapor by the second heating system, the temperature of the second heating system may be less than the second lower temperature threshold. On the basis of the real-time temperature of the second heating system, the real-time temperature of the second heating system is continuously detected in the process of heating the third heating system. And controlling the third heating system to immediately stop heating and controlling the second heating system to immediately start heating once the temperature of the second heating system is detected to be less than the second lower temperature threshold.

And step S0427, detecting the temperature of the third heating system under the condition that the temperature of the second heating system is detected to be greater than or equal to a second lower temperature threshold.

And if the temperature of the second heating system is detected to be greater than or equal to the second temperature lower limit threshold, the second heating system does not need to be heated immediately, the heating process of the third heating system is continued, and the real-time temperature of the third heating system is detected at the moment.

And S0428, controlling the third heating system to stop heating when detecting that the temperature of the third heating system reaches a third upper temperature threshold.

Since the third heating system is used for vaporizing the water vapor again, a higher temperature is not required, and the third upper temperature threshold may be set to any value between 135 ℃ and 145 ℃, for example, 140 ℃.

And when the temperature of the third heating system is detected to be less than the third upper temperature threshold, returning to the step S0421 to continue controlling the third heating system to heat. When the temperature of the third heating system is detected to be greater than or equal to the third temperature upper limit threshold, the temperature of the third heating system is indicated to reach the upper limit value, the third heating system does not need to be heated continuously at the moment, the control device controls the third heating system to stop heating, the continuous heating damage to the component by the third heating system is avoided, the service life of the control device can be prolonged, and the energy consumption of the control device can be reduced.

When the temperature T of the first heating system is detected _A When the temperature is smaller than the first lower temperature threshold x2, it indicates that the temperature of the first heating system is lower than the lower temperature threshold, and then the process goes to step S416; when the temperature T of the first heating system is detected _A And if the temperature is greater than or equal to the first lower temperature threshold value x2, at which the temperature of the first heating system can ensure that the water is completely vaporized into the water vapor, the step S414 is continued.

In step S414, it is determined whether the temperature of the second heating system reaches the second upper temperature threshold.

When the temperature T of the second heating system C is detected _C If the temperature is greater than or equal to the second upper temperature threshold z1, it indicates that the second heating system has heated to the upper temperature threshold, and the heating is not required to be continued, and then the process goes to step S415; when the temperature T of the second heating system is detected _C If the temperature is lower than the second upper temperature threshold value z1, the second heating system continues heating, and the process returns to step S413 to continue the determination.

And step S416, controlling the third heating system to stop heating.

Since the heating power of the control device cannot exceed the maximum heating power, the first heating system a and the third heating system B cannot heat simultaneously without affecting the normal heating of the second heating system C. Upon detection of the temperature T of the first heating system _A Less than the first lower temperature threshold value x2, the third heating system B is controlled to immediately stop heating, and then step S406 is executed to control the first heating system a to immediately restart heating to ensure that the first heating system can vaporize water into steam.

In step S417, the third heating system is controlled to start heating.

When the temperature T of the first heating system is detected _A When the temperature is less than the first lower temperature threshold value x2, it indicates that the temperature of the first heating system is lower than the lower temperature threshold value, and then the process goes to step S416; when the temperature T of the first heating system is detected _A And if the temperature is greater than or equal to the first lower temperature threshold value x2, at which the temperature of the first heating system can ensure complete vaporization of the water into steam, the process proceeds to step S419.

Step S419 determines whether the temperature of the second heating system is less than the second lower temperature threshold.

The operation of step S419 is the same as the operations of step S411 and step S407, and it is determined whether or not the second heating system needs to be controlled to start heating. When the temperature T of the second heating system is detected _C When the temperature is lower than the second lower temperature threshold value z2, the temperature of the second heating system is lower than the lower limit value, and then the step S410 is performed; when the temperature T of the second heating system is detected _C Greater than or equal toAt the second lower temperature threshold z2, where the temperature of the second heating system can ensure that the water is completely vaporized into the vapor, the step S420 is continued.

Here, the temperature of the third heating system is a temperature detected in real time for the third heating system.

When the temperature T of the third heating system B is detected _B When the temperature is greater than or equal to the third upper temperature threshold y1, it indicates that the third heating system has heated to the upper temperature threshold, and the heating is not required to be continued, and then the step S421 is executed; when the temperature T of the third heating system is detected _B If the temperature is lower than the third upper temperature threshold value y1, the third heating system continues heating, and the process returns to step S418.

When an ending instruction is received, or the residual water amount in the water tank is less than a preset water amount threshold value, the step S423 is executed; when the ending instruction is not received, or the residual water amount in the water tank is greater than or equal to the preset water amount threshold value, the step S402 is returned to continue to generate the water vapor.

Next, an exemplary application of the embodiment of the present application in a practical application scenario will be described.

The traditional garment steamer usually adopts a heater for heating, and in order to prolong the service life of a heater and consider the safety problem, a mechanical temperature control is generally arranged on the heater to limit the maximum heating temperature of the heater; but also its power is limited by the maximum rated power, making it difficult to make the steam volume of the garment steamer large. Meanwhile, as the steam guide pipe is long, steam is condensed, and water spraying is easy to occur, in order to solve the problem of water spraying, a plurality of garment steamer machines adopt the place of the ironing head to heat again, so that the water spraying condition is improved to some extent, but the garment steamer machines are limited by the maximum rated power, so that the power of a heater which directly changes water into steam is reduced to some extent, and the steam quantity of the garment steamer machines is more difficult to be increased.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the garment steamer according to the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 5, the garment steamer 50 includes three heating systems (a main heating system 51, a steamer head 52 and a thermal storage heating system 53), two water pumps (a water pump 55 and a water pump 56) and a water tank 54. FIG. 6 is a logic diagram of a continuous heating operation process of the garment steamer according to an embodiment of the present application.

When the garment steamer 50 only adopts a main heating system 51 to heat, because the air duct is longer, the steam reaches the steam outlet and is easy to condense, water drops are produced, even water is sprayed, a heater is added at the steam outlet to scald the head so as to solve the problem, the steam reaches the steam outlet and is heated again, and the whole steam quantity of the garment steamer is difficult to be increased due to the fact that the heater protects the temperature control and the limitation of power.

The garment steamer 50 provided by the embodiment of the present application is capable of generating a greater amount of steam. Fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of an implementation of a heating control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the process of the heating control method is as follows: the main function of the iron head 52 in the heating process is to heat the steam for the second time to prevent the occurrence of water spraying, and the steam temperature is high, so that after the first heating, the temperature of the iron head 52 is slowly reduced, and the iron head is not required to be continuously heated; it is therefore possible to use more time to heat the primary heating system 51 and the regenerative heating system 53 which vaporise the water to steam, so as to maximise the amount of steam produced by the garment steamer.

The heating logic for the three heating systems is: when the temperature of the main heating system 51 is higher than x1 ℃, the main heating system 51 stops heating, and the ironing head 52 starts heating; when the temperature of the main heating system 51 is less than x2 ℃, the main heating system 51 restarts heating, and the ironing head 52 stops heating; when the temperature of the heat storage heating system 53 is higher than y1 ℃, the heat storage heating system 53 stops heating, and the ironing head 52 starts heating; when the temperature of the heat storage heating system 53 is lower than y2 ℃, the heat storage heating system 53 restarts heating, and the heating of the ironing head 52 is stopped.

The water pumping logic of the three heating systems is as follows: the system operation time is less than n seconds, the water pump 55 and the water pump 56 are not operated, and the temperature of the whole heating system is heated to a higher temperature at this stage; and the system operation time reaches n seconds, and attenuation control is carried out on the water pumping speed of the water pump according to the system operation time and the temperature of the monitoring main heating system 51 and the heat accumulation heating system 53, wherein the temperature of the main heating system 51 controls the water pumping speed of the water pump 55, and the temperature of the heat accumulation heating system 53 controls the water pumping speed of the water pump 56.

In the operating state of the garment steamer, the total power of heating cannot exceed the maximum rated power, under which the power of the main heater and the steamer head is limited. Because the head heater occupies certain system heating power, the heating power of the main heater for generating steam is reduced, and the amount of the generated steam is correspondingly reduced.

In garment steamer entire system, the effect of scalding the head is to carry out the secondary heating to steam, and the steam temperature is higher, and the head heater temperature that scalds descends slowly does not need to heat frequently after scalding the head and stop heating, and the temperature drop heats once more to the control by temperature change point of heating, and it is very short to heat the time that the high temperature needs. Therefore, a heat storage heating system for heating water into steam can be added, the main heating system and the heat storage heating system are heated by using more time, and then the water is heated by using the main heating system and the heat storage heating system to generate larger steam quantity.
