The control method of the present invention is applied to a plurality of washing drums to perform dry-heating and wash-heating at the same time. At this time, the washing drum that needs to be dry-heated is controlled to be preferentially dry-heated; and the dry-heating is intermittent-type dry-heating, and the wash-heating of other drums is performed between two adjacent dry-heating intervals. This control method is applicable to a situation that only one washing drum in the plurality of the washing drums is dry-heated, and one washing drum is wash-heated, and is also applicable to a situation that the plurality of the washing drums is dry-heated at the same time, and/or the plurality of the washing drums is wash-heated at the same time.

While the plurality of the washing drums needs to be dry-heated, and/or the plurality of the washing drums needs to be wash-heated, and while the washing drum for the dry-heating is still in an intermittent heating period, and the washing drum which performs the wash-heating in the dry-heating interval thereof completes the wash-heating, the wash-heating of the next washing drum is started according to the time sequence determined by the user or required for the wash-heating, until all the washing drums complete the dry-heating and the wash-heating; and while the washing drum for the dry-heating completes the intermittent dry-heating, and the washing drum for the wash-heating which is started in the dry-heating interval thereof does not complete the wash-heating, the dry-heating of the next washing drum is started according to the time sequence determined by the user or required for the dry-heating, until all the washing drums complete the dry-heating and the wash-heating.
In order to explain the control method of the present invention better, the present invention is described in detail by taking a double-drum washing machine as an example.
As shown in Fig. 1, a multi-drum washing machine includes a first washing drum 1 and a second washing drum 2, and the first washing drum 1 is located above the second washing drum 2. The first washing drum 1 includes a first wash-heating device 11, a first dry-heating device 12, and a first temperature sensing bulb 13; the second washing drum 2 includes a second wash-heating device 21, a second dry-heating device 22, and a second temperature sensing bulb 23. The first wash-heating device 11 and the second wash-heating device 12 are used to heat water in the washing drum while the first washing drum 1 and the second washing drum 2 perform heated washing, the first dry-heating device 12 and the second dry-heating device 22 are used to dry-heat while the first washing drum 1 and the second washing drum 2 perform drying, the first temperature sensing bulb 13 and the second temperature sensing bulb 23 are used to detect the temperature in the washing drum while the first washing drum 1 and the second washing drum 2 perform the dry-heating. The multi-drum washing machine of this embodiment further includes a main control board, the first wash-heating device 11, the first dry-heating device 12, the first temperature sensing bulb 13, the second wash-heating device 21, the second dry-heating device 22, and the second temperature sensing bulb 23 are respectively connected with the main control board. The first washing drum 1 washes clothes and performs the wash-heating, and the second washing drum 2 dries the clothes and performs the dry-heating. While the wash-heating and the dry-heating are operated to be performed at the same time, since both the operations of the wash-heating and the dry-heating require a larger power, in order to avoid a current safety problem caused by an excessive high current of the washing machine due to the simultaneous operations, this embodiment controls the wash-heating and the dry-heating to be performed alternately, so that two operating procedures may be taken into account, as to guarantee the smooth progress of washing and drying.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, while the plurality of the washing drums performs the wash-heating and dry-heating at the same time, the dry-heating is controlled to be preferentially performed. It is considered that the clothes in a drying state are more in line with the dressing needs of the user than the clothes in a washing state. Therefore, a principle that the dry-heating is performed preferentially, and the wash-heating is also taken into account is adopted, the second washing drum 2 uses the intermittent-type dry-heating while the dry-heating is performed, and the first washing drum 1 is controlled to perform the wash-heating between two dry-heating intervals.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, while the plurality of the washing drums is operated until the wash-heating and the dry-heating are performed at the same time, the wash-heating is suspended, the dry-heating is started, the second washing drum 2 is controlled to be in a dry-heating process, and the on/off temperature of the second dry-heating device 22 is adjusted from T₁/T₂ to T₃/T₄, T₁/T₂ is the on/off temperature of the second dry-heating device 22 while the washing machine performs the dry-heating separately, and T₁-T₂≤T₃-T₄, the on/off temperature of the second washing drum 2 is detected by the second temperature sensing bulb 23, the second temperature sensing bulb 23 sends a detected temperature to the main control board, and controls on/off of the second dry-heating device 22 while the on/off conditions are satisfied. Namely, while the temperature of the second washing drum 2 is less than or equal to T₃, the second dry-heating device 22 is started to dry the clothes in the second washing drum 2, and while the temperature in the second washing drum 2 is risen to T₄, the second dry-heating device 22 stops heating. After the second dry-heating device 22 stops heating, the temperature in the second washing drum 2 may be gradually decreased, and while the temperature is decreased to be less than or equal to T₃, the second dry-heating device 22 restarts the heating, thus the intermittent-type dry-heating is performed until the clothes is completely dried. For example: the temperature range of T₁ is 75-120 degrees, the temperature range of T₂ is 60-100 degrees, the temperature range of T₃ is 70-110 degrees, and the temperature range of T₄ is 55-95 degrees. By increasing the on/off temperature difference, the present invention increases the interval time between two times of adjacent drying, prolongs the wash-heating time, guarantees the wash temperature of the wash-heating under the premise of guaranteeing the drying efficiency, and satisfies the washing effect.
Since the wash-heating is performed in the interval of the dry-heating, namely while the temperature in the drum of the washing drum that performs the dry-heating reaches T₄, the washing drum that performs the dry-heating is controlled to suspend the heating, and the washing drum for the wash-heating is started to be heated. While the temperature in the drum of the washing drum that performs the dry-heating is reduced to T₃, the washing drum that performs the dry-heating is controlled to start the heating, and the washing drum that performs the wash-heating is suspended for heating. It is alternately performed in this way, until a condition of ending the dry-heating and/or the wash-heating is satisfied. In the process of switching between the dry-heating and the wash-heating, in order to prevent an instantaneous change of the current from impacting an electrical element, it is set to start the wash-heating after the dry-heating is suspended for a preset time, and then start the dry-heating after the wash-heating is suspended for the preset time. For example, the preset time t is set to be 1-3 seconds.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, while the on/off temperature of a heating tube for the dry-heating is T₃/T₄, a water feeding time sequence of condensed water for the dry-heating is adjusted from opening for A₁ seconds and stopping for B₁ seconds to opening for A₂ seconds and stopping for B₂, the water feeding time sequence, opening for A₁ seconds and stopping for B₁ seconds, of the condensed water is the water feeding time sequence of the condensed water while the washing machine performs the drying-heating separately, and A₁≥A₂, B₁≤B₂. After wet and hot steam generated by the second washing drum 2 for drying the clothes enters a condensing pipe, heat is taken away under the cooling effect of the condensed water and it becomes dry and cold air. In order to guarantee the balance of heat input and output of a whole system, in the case of increasing the on/off temperature difference, the turn-on time of the condensate water may be decreased, and the turn-off time of the condensate water is increased to prolong the time of the condensate water, thereby the drying efficiency is guaranteed. The range of A, is 30-200 seconds, the range of B₁ is 0-200 seconds, the range of A₂ is 10-150 seconds, and the range of B₂ is 30-200 seconds.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, while the on/off temperature in the dry-heating process is T₁/T₂, a first drying judgment mode is used to judge whether the dry-heating is performed, and while the on/off temperature in the dry-heating process is T₃/T₄, a second drying judgment mode is used to judge whether the dry-heating is performed. The temperature in the washing drum while the drying is completed in the first drying judgment mode is greater than the temperature in the washing drum while the drying is completed in the second drying judgment mode. Since methods of each drying judgment platform are various, for example a temperature rise method: the platform temperature of a T₁/T₂ platform is controlled at about 60 degrees, if it rises by 5 degrees from 60 degrees, the default is drying; and the platform temperature of a T₃/T₄ platform is controlled at about 55 degrees, if it rises by 4.5 degrees from 55 degrees, the default is drying. While the wash-heating and the dry-heating are performed at the same time, the first drying judgment mode is used to judge whether the clothes in the washing drum is dried.
While the wash-heating is completed and the dry-heating is performed separately, the on/off temperature of the dry-heating is adjusted from T₃/T₄ to T₁/T₂, the first drying judgment mode is used to judge whether the clothes is dried, the water feeding time sequence of the condensed water is adjusted from opening for A₂ seconds and stopping for B₂ seconds to opening for A1 seconds and stopping for B1 seconds, and if the drying conditions are satisfied, the dry-heating is exited. While the wash-heating satisfies the ending conditions, but the dry-heating does not reach the ending conditions, by restoring the on/off temperature of the dry-heating and the water feeding time sequence of the condensate water to the on/off temperature and the water feeding time sequence while the dry-heating is performed separately, the drying efficiency is improved, and the drying time is reduced.

S1: A plurality of washing drums is operated until wash-heating and dry-heating are performed at the same time, the wash-heating is suspended, and the dry-heating is started.

S3: While the temperature in a drum of the washing drum that performs the dry-heating reaches T₄, the dry-heating is suspended, and the wash-heating is started after a preset time interval; and while the temperature in the drum of the washing drum that performs the dry-heating is reduced to T₃, the wash-heating is suspended, and the dry-heating is started after the preset time interval.
S4: It is judged whether the dry-heating or the wash-heating satisfies an ending condition that it is performed at the same time, and a second drying judgment mode is used in this process to judge the dry-heating condition; and if the condition of simultaneous ending is satisfied, it goes to S5, if not, it is returned to S2.
S5: If the drying ending condition is satisfied, the separate wash-heating is performed, until the wash-heating ending condition is satisfied; if the wash-heating ending condition is satisfied, the separate dry-heating is performed, the on/off temperature of the heating tube for the dry-heating is adjusted from T₃/T₄ to T₁/T₂, the water feeding time sequence of the condensed water is adjusted from opening for A₂ seconds and stopping for B₂ seconds to opening for A₁ seconds and stopping for B₁ seconds, and a first drying judgment mode is called to judge the dry-heating condition, until the drying condition is satisfied, the dry-heating is exited.
