If the duration of the laundry washing stage is less than the time required for the dryer to reach the preheating temperature, that is, the dryer cannot reach the preheating temperature after the laundry washing stage, a prompt message will be sent to the user, allowing the user to choose whether to continue washing and drying. Linkage mode. If the user chooses to continue to execute the washing and drying linkage mode, the dryer will continue to run after the laundry washing stage; if the user chooses to cancel the washing and drying linkage mode, the dryer will stop running.

The invention detects the remaining time of the laundry washing stage in real time, and when the drying machine preheating start time is reached, the drying machine starts to preheat, so as to provide sufficient time for the drying machine to preheat, so as to ensure that the laundry is dried after the washing stage is over. The temperature in the machine can reach the preheating temperature, so that the control method of the integrated washing and drying equipment of the present invention can adapt to a variety of different washing procedures, and the applicability of the control method of the integrated washing and drying equipment of the present invention is improved.

As shown in FIG. 8 , in the embodiment of the present invention, the laundry washing stage includes a washing step, a washing and dehydrating step, a rinsing step, and a rinsing and dehydrating step in sequence, and the remaining time of the washing step is detected in real time, and the dryer is turned off when the remaining time of the washing step is t1. Start warming up.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the laundry washing stages are sequentially divided into washing steps, washing and dehydrating steps, rinsing steps, and rinsing and dehydrating steps in chronological order. After the washing and drying linkage mode is selected, the washing machine first enters the washing step, enters the dehydration step after the washing step, and enters the rinsing step after the dehydration step. In the washing step, detergent is added to wash the clothes to remove stains on the clothes. After the washing step, it enters the dehydration step. In the dehydration step, the washing tub in the washing machine rotates at a high speed, and the centrifugal force of the washing tub is used to remove the moisture in the clothes while removing part of the detergent, which is convenient for rinsing the clothes. In the rinsing stage, water is fed into the washing tub, the washing tub rotates at a low speed, and the residual detergent in the clothes and the washing water remaining in the washing stage are removed by the oscillation of the water flow.

For different laundry scenarios, the washing programs set by the user are not the same. For example, when there are many clothes to be washed and the cleanliness of the clothes is low, the clothes are stained with a lot of stains. If less detergent is added, the stains on the clothes cannot be completely removed, and the washing effect is not ideal. In order to To thoroughly remove stains from clothing, you need to add more detergent. However, when a large amount of detergent is added, the detergent is likely to remain on the clothes. After the clothes are washed, the clothes need to be rinsed several times to completely remove the residual detergent on the clothes. For the washing scene where there are few clothes to be washed and the clothes are clean, there are less stains on the clothes, and the user does not need to add too much detergent. After the clothes are washed, they can directly execute the washing without rinsing The washing and dehydrating step can remove the detergent remaining on the clothes during the process of dehydrating the clothes, or only need to rinse the clothes once to wash off the detergent remaining on the clothes.

Since the number of rinses in different washing programs is not the same, the duration of the rinse steps is not the same. Moreover, some washing procedures do not even include a rinsing step, only a washing step and a washing and dehydrating step, and the duration of the washing and dehydrating step is relatively short. Usually, the duration of the washing and dehydrating step is less than the time required for the dryer to be preheated to the preheating temperature. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the dryer is started to preheat before the washing step is finished, so as to provide sufficient time for the preheating of the dryer to ensure that the temperature in the dryer can reach the preheating temperature T after the laundry washing stage.

When the user's laundry scene is relatively simple, that is, the user often uses the same washing program, and the type and weight of the laundry are also the same, and the time required for the dryer to run to the preheating temperature is also the same, the remaining time t1 can be set It is a fixed value, which reduces the calculation amount in the washing and drying linkage mode and improves the working efficiency of the washing and drying integrated equipment.

When the user's laundry scene is more diverse, that is, the user often uses different washing programs, and the type and weight of the laundry are different, and the time t2 required for the dryer to reach the preheating temperature is also different, the remaining time t1 According to the time t2 required for the dryer to run to the preheating temperature, the preheating start time of the dryer can be calculated accurately, providing sufficient time for the preheating of the dryer, and ensuring that the clothes inside the dryer after the laundry washing stage is over. The temperature can reach the preheating temperature T.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the remaining time of the washing step is t1, the dryer starts to preheat,

t1=t2/a,

Among them, t2 is the time required for the dryer to run to the preheating temperature T, and the time t2 is calculated according to the drying program in the washing and drying linkage mode; a is the delay coefficient. If the rinsing times in the rinsing step is greater than 1, the rinsing and dehydration step will be entered after the rinsing step, and the delay coefficient a is calculated according to the duration t3 of the washing and dehydrating step and the duration t4 of the rinsing dehydration step; if the rinsing times in the rinsing step is equal to 1 or 0, the rinsing and dehydration step is not entered after the rinsing step, and the delay coefficient a is only calculated according to the duration t3 of the washing and dehydrating step.

The present invention allows the dryer to start preheating when the remaining time in the washing stage is t1, and the temperature in the dryer just reaches the preheating temperature T at the end of the laundry washing stage, which is convenient for users to use, and the remaining time t1 in the washing step is based on the drying Calculate the time required by the machine to reach the preheating temperature T and the delay coefficient a. The number of rinses varies in different washing programs. If the number of rinsing is equal to 1, that is, the laundry is only rinsed once in the rinsing step, and the end of the rinsing step means the end of the laundry cleaning phase. When the number of rinsing is equal to 1, the delay coefficient a is calculated only according to the duration t3 of the dehydration phase. .

If the number of rinsing is 0, that is, the laundry will not be rinsed, the laundry washing stage does not include a rinsing step, and the end of the washing and dehydrating step represents the end of the washing stage. to calculate the delay factor.

If the number of rinsing times is greater than 1, that is, the clothes are rinsed multiple times. After the clothes are rinsed multiple times, the clothes contain a large amount of water, and the clothes need to be dehydrated. In the present invention, when the number of rinsing is greater than 1, the rinsing and dehydrating step is entered after the rinsing step is completed. The end of the rinsing and dehydrating step indicates the end of the laundry cleaning stage. The duration of the rinsing and dehydrating step is t4. The duration of the dehydration step t3 and the duration of the rinse dehydration step t4 are used to calculate the delay factor a.

As shown in FIG. 8 , in the embodiment of the present invention, the weight W1 of the laundry to be washed is obtained before the laundry washing stage starts, and the preheating temperature T is calculated according to the weight W1 of the laundry to be washed and the capacity W2 of the dryer, where b is the preset drying Dryer capacity coefficient, if W1≤b*W2, the preheating temperature T is the first preset temperature T1; if b*W2<W1≤W2, the preheating temperature is the second preset temperature T2; if W1>W2, the display Feedback.

In the present invention, if W1≤a*W2, that is, there are few clothes to be dried, the temperature reached by the preheating of the dryer is the first preset temperature T1, and the first preset temperature T1 is the first preset temperature T1 in the drying program of the dryer Set temperature; if a*W2<W1≤W2, that is, there are many clothes to be dried, the temperature reached by the preheating of the dryer is the second preset temperature T2, and the second preset temperature T2 is suitable for different drying programs If W1>W2, the weight of the clothes to be dried exceeds the capacity of the dryer, and a feedback message is displayed at this time, prompting the user that the weight of the clothes to be dried exceeds the capacity of the dryer.
