In addition, although the present embodiment is described in connection with the same ventilating device having a heating function, it is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and a person skilled in the art may select other forms, such as two different ventilating devices corresponding to ventilating mechanisms before and after the present washing operation, wherein some or all of the ventilating devices do not include the heating function, etc., without departing from the principles of the present invention.

It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural referents.

Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless explicitly specified and limited otherwise, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" are to be construed broadly, and may be either fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected, for example; can be mechanically or electrically connected; can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can be communication between two elements. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to the specific circumstances.

Furthermore, in the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details. In some instances, principles of drum washing machines and the like well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the gist of the present invention.

The drum washing machine mainly includes a cabinet, an outer tub (tub), and an inner tub as a laundry treating tub. Wherein, the urceolus is fixed to be set up in the box, and the inner tube rotationally sets up in the urceolus. In a normal case, the front side of the box body is provided with a clothes putting opening, and the drum washing machine is provided with a door body at a position corresponding to the clothes putting opening, for example, the door body can rotate relative to the box body around a pivoting side arranged along the vertical direction, so that the clothes putting opening is in an open or closed state. If the washing operation is finished, the door body rotates relative to the box body to enable the clothes throwing opening to be in an open state, at the moment, the space in the inner cylinder becomes exposed to the environment, and an operator can timely dry the washed clothes.

In one possible embodiment, the ventilation device comprises a fan capable of performing the basic function of ventilation and a heating member, such as a heating pipe, capable of heating the fan circulated by the fan. By adjusting the operation parameters of the fan and the start-stop state/operation parameters of the heating pipe, the space in the barrel of the inner barrel can be ventilated.

Based on the above structure, the present invention provides a ventilation control method of a drum washing machine.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a ventilation control method of a drum washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, in one possible embodiment, the ventilation control method mainly includes the following steps:

s101, before the washing machine performs the washing operation, detecting whether a door body is opened first or started first (for example, an operator opens the door body); if the power is turned on first, the step S103 is carried out; if the door is opened, the process proceeds to S105.

Since the basic washing operations such as water supply, washing, rinsing, and dewatering are not started in this case, the ventilation mechanism at this stage is referred to as a ventilation mechanism before the washing machine performs the current washing operation.

S103, enabling the ventilation device to operate according to the first operation parameter when the door is opened, and enabling the ventilation device to stop operating.

In one possible embodiment, the first operating parameter corresponds to a state in which the fan is operating and the heating tube is not operating.

S105, under the condition that an operator opens the door body, the washing machine is automatically started, the ventilation device is operated according to the second operation parameter until the operation of putting the clothes to be washed in the inner cylinder is detected (for example, the operator starts putting the clothes to be washed in the inner cylinder), and the ventilation device stops operating.

In one possible embodiment, the second operating parameter corresponds to a state in which the fan is operating and the heating pipe is not operating. However, the rotational speed of the fan is higher than the rotational speed of the fan in the first operating parameter.

S107, the drum washing machine is operated to perform the washing operation including the links of water inlet, washing, rinsing, dehydration and the like.

S109, after the operation of the washing operation is completed for a first set period of time, detecting whether the clothes are taken away; if yes, the ventilation device is not operated; if not, the process proceeds to S111.

Illustratively, after the washing operation is completed for 30-50min, whether the laundry is taken away (e.g., an operator opens a door, takes away the laundry).

S111, enabling the ventilation device to operate for a second set period of time according to the third operation parameter.

In one possible embodiment, the third operating parameter corresponds to the state in which both the blower and the heating pipe are operating. For example, the operation parameters of the heating pipe may be flexibly adjusted according to the humidity of the inside space of the drum, the amount of laundry, etc.

It can be seen that in the ventilation control method of the washing machine of the present invention, the user experience of the current washing operation is ensured by performing ventilation control on the laundry with washing before and after the current washing operation. The method can effectively avoid the negative influence of the last washing operation on the current washing operation and ensure the cleaning quality of the clothes under the condition that the clothes are not taken away in time after the current washing operation is finished. In particular, before the present washing operation, by making different ventilation control mechanisms based on the timing of opening the door body, it is expected to perform further optimal control on the ventilation mechanism before the present washing operation, or at least make it possible to make a more flexible ventilation mechanism.

It should be noted that, although the steps are described in the above embodiments in a specific order, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that, in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, the steps are not necessarily performed in such an order, and may be performed simultaneously or in other orders, or some steps may be added, replaced, or omitted. Such as may include, but are not limited to:

1) At the same time or after the ventilation device is operated for the second set period of time with the third operation parameter, the device configured in the drum washing machine sends out a prompt tone for taking out the clothes or sends out a prompt message for reminding the operator to take out the clothes in time to the mobile terminal of the operator, etc.

2) After "S111, the ventilation device is operated for a second set period of time with the third operation parameter", whether the laundry is taken away or not is detected every certain period of time, and if not, the ventilation device is operated repeatedly. It will be appreciated that the skilled person will be able to tailor the appropriate time interval and the operating parameters of the ventilation device in the ventilation mechanism corresponding to each need to operate the ventilation device according to the actual requirements.

3) Through the system record, study the operator and use the use habit of drum type washing machine, the three high frequency use periods that the operator used drum type washing machine of sign, if three high frequency use periods are respectively: 20:00-21:00 in Wednesday evening, 10:00-11:00 in Saturday morning, 17:00-19:00 in Sunday afternoon. Based on this, a respective ventilation mechanism can be specified for each high frequency usage period. The ventilation means may be operated in advance, for example, before each period starts.

One example of this is: before the left end of the period (e.g., before 20 minutes), the ventilation is operated. In addition, before the washing machine performs the washing operation, the operator is detected to start or open the door body before performing the washing operation of the washing machine; if the power is turned on first, the step S103 is carried out; if the door is opened, the ventilation device is operated before the process goes to S105 ". In this way, the same pre-ventilation mechanism is performed regardless of whether the operator uses the drum washing machine for a corresponding period of time.

Another example of this is: before the left end of the period (e.g., 10 minutes), the ventilation is operated. Assuming that the operator uses the drum washing machine for a corresponding period of time, the operation of the ventilating device is stopped in a case where it is detected that the door of the drum washing machine is opened. Assuming that the operator does not use the drum washing machine for a corresponding period of time, the operation of the ventilating device is stopped after a certain period of time (e.g., 30 minutes) is entered. In this way, a different pre-ventilation mechanism is performed for the case that the operator uses the drum washing machine for a corresponding period of time.

It should be noted that although the ventilation control method of the drum washing machine constructed in the above-described specific manner is described as an example, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention should not be limited thereto. In fact, the user can flexibly adjust the relevant steps and parameters in the steps according to the situations such as actual application scenes, and the like, for example, the first/second/third operation parameters can be flexibly adjusted. Specifically, the operation parameters of the fan in the ventilation device, the start-stop state of the heating pipe, the operation power/start-up duration of the heating pipe in the start-up state and the like can be flexibly adjusted.

Thus far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent modifications and substitutions for related technical features may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such modifications and substitutions will fall within the scope of the present invention.
