Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiment of the present invention are only used to explain the relationship between components in a specific posture (as shown in the drawings). Relative positional relationship, movement conditions, etc., if the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

In addition, descriptions such as "first", "second", etc. in the present invention are for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of these features. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise expressly and specifically limited.

In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly stated and limited, the terms "connection", "fixing", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixing" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral body; It can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be an internal connection between two elements or an interactive relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly limited. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on what a person of ordinary skill in the art can implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be realized, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions is possible. It does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present invention.

In the related art, for the realization of the steam function, some clothes processing devices use a separate steam generator to generate steam, and discharge it from the steam outlet into the washing bucket of the clothes processing device; some clothes processing devices use a separate steam generator to generate steam in the washing bucket. Set up the washing heating pipe, and control the washing heating pipe to heat the water in the washing bucket by setting a target washing temperature value and a fixed heating time to generate hot steam.

However, the use of a separate steam generator will undoubtedly increase the hardware cost of the clothes processing device and the complexity of coordination and control between structures; the steam generation method that only controls the water temperature and time cannot adapt to environmental changes, causing the clothes in the washing tub to accept The steam time difference is relatively large, resulting in poor clothing treatment effect.

In order to solve the above technical problems, in the embodiment of the present application, the actual steam effect is detected by using existing sensors in the clothes treatment device to adapt to different environmental changes.

In an optional embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 , the clothes processing device includes a washing tub 10 , a washing heating pipe 20 for heating the water in the washing tub, and a first temperature sensor 30 for detecting the water temperature in the washing tub. , and a second temperature sensor 40 for detecting the temperature of the air entering the drying tunnel.

It should be noted that the second temperature sensor 40 used in the embodiment of the present application may be a temperature sensor provided at the air inlet of the drying tunnel. Since the clothes processing device belongs to an internal circulation system, the air discharged from the washing tub 10 will flow from the drying tunnel. The air inlet enters the washing tub 10 again, so it is easier to obtain the air temperature brought by the heating of the washing tub 10 by using the second temperature sensor 40 at the air inlet of the drying tunnel. In this way, even if the drying heating pipe in the drying tunnel works, the inside of the washing tub 10 When the air enters the drying tunnel and does not reach the position of the drying heating tube for heating, the air temperature is detected by the second temperature sensor at the air inlet.

That is to say, the air temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 40 in the drying tunnel can represent the temperature of the steam generated by heating in the washing tub 10, and this air temperature can reflect the current environmental conditions of the clothes processing device, and then combined with the first temperature The water temperature detected by the sensor 30 can better reflect the environmental conditions.

Based on this, through the cooperative use of the second temperature sensor 40 and the first temperature sensor 30, the steam effect is jointly detected, so that the clothes in the washing tub can receive a stable steam time no matter in any environment, ensuring that the clothes treatment effect is satisfactory. Affected by environmental changes.

In another optional embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the clothes processing device includes a washing tub 10 , a washing heating pipe 20 for heating the water in the washing tub, and a first temperature sensor for detecting the water temperature in the washing tub. 30. And a second temperature sensor 40 for detecting the temperature of the air entering the drying tunnel. In addition, the laundry treatment device also includes a humidity sensor 50 for detecting the humidity of the air in the washing tub.

In this embodiment, through the cooperative use of the second temperature sensor 40 , the first temperature sensor 30 , and the humidity sensor 50 , the actual steam effect can be detected more accurately, so that the clothes in the washing tub can be stored at any time. Stable steam time can be received in the environment, which better ensures that the clothes treatment effect is not affected by environmental changes, and improves user satisfaction with the clothes treatment effect.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific steam control process embodiments.

Example 1:

Figure 3 is a schematic flowchart of a steam control method for a clothes treatment device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The steam control method is applied to the clothes treatment device shown in Figure 1, as shown in Figure 3 , the steam control method includes the following steps:

Step 301: Detect the heating signal of the washing heating tube, and detect the water temperature and air temperature in the washing bucket of the clothes processing device.

Among them, the detected heating signal of the washing heating pipe indicates that the clothes processing device has entered the steam process. The water in the washing bucket is being heated by the washing heating pipe. The temperature in the washing bucket rises and steam is gradually generated. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the water temperature in the washing bucket in real time. and air temperature to determine the actual steam produced.

Regarding the heating signal detection process of the washing heating pipe, in one possible implementation, after the clothes processing device is triggered to enter the steam process and detects that the water level in the washing bucket is higher than the preset water level, a signal is generated for the washing heating pipe. The heating signal causes the washing heating pipe to start working. During the heating process, the temperature of the water in the washing bucket begins to rise and steam is gradually generated.

The preset water level can be set according to the installation position of the first temperature sensor in the washing tub. The water level should ensure that the water submerges the first temperature sensor, so that the first temperature sensor can accurately detect the water temperature in the washing tub.

It can be understood that the water level in the washing tub can be detected using a water level sensor.

In the specific implementation, after the clothes processing device is triggered to enter the steam process, it will first detect the water level in the washing bucket. If there is no water in the washing bucket or the water level is lower than the preset water level, the water inlet valve of the clothes processing device will be opened to supply water to the washing machine. Water is added to the bucket. During the water addition period, the water level in the washing bucket is detected in real time. When the water level is detected to be higher than the preset water level, the water inlet valve is closed to complete the water filling of the washing bucket.

Regarding the process of detecting the water temperature and air temperature in the washing bucket of the clothes processing device, based on the structure of the clothes processing device shown in Figure 1, in the embodiment of the present application, the water temperature can be detected in real time through the first temperature sensor provided in the washing bucket. , and detect the air temperature in real time through the second temperature sensor provided at the air inlet of the drying tunnel of the clothes processing device.

It can be understood that, for the real-time detection of water temperature and the real-time detection of air temperature, detection can be performed according to the detection frequency of the first temperature sensor and the detection frequency of the second temperature sensor.

In a preferred way, the detection frequency of the first temperature sensor and the detection frequency of the second temperature sensor can be set to be the same, so that the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor can maintain the consistency of the detection time, thereby ensuring the water temperature and air temperature. Acquisition time consistency of temperature.

In the embodiment of the present application, during the heating process of the washing heating pipe, that is, during the entire steam process, the washing bucket can be controlled to perform intermittent rotation to adjust the position of the clothes in the washing bucket and at the same time stir the water temperature in the washing bucket evenly , to avoid the problem of serious damage to clothes caused by local heat.

In an optional implementation, for the intermittent rotation process of the washing bucket, the washing bucket may rotate for a period of time at a preset speed every certain period.

In another optional implementation, for the intermittent rotation process of the washing bucket, it is also possible to control the washing bucket to rotate forward for a period of time and then control the washing bucket to rotate reversely for a certain period of time.

Those skilled in the art can understand that the above-mentioned intermittent rotation control of the washing tub is only an illustrative description, and this application does not specifically limit this. As long as the purpose of adjusting the position of the clothes in the washing tub can be achieved, it can also be used. The water temperature in the washing bucket can be stirred evenly.

Step 302: Determine that the water temperature and air temperature meet the first preset condition and maintain the first preset time period, and control the washing heating pipe to stop heating.

In an optional specific implementation, during the real-time detection of water temperature and air temperature using the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor, each time a pair of water temperature and air temperature is detected, it is necessary to determine the currently detected water temperature and air temperature. Whether the temperature satisfies the first preset condition. When it is determined that the first preset condition is met, a mark indicating that the condition is met is added to the pair of water temperature and air temperature. When it is determined that the first preset condition is not met, a mark is added to the pair of water temperature and air temperature. and air temperature add a flag to indicate that the condition is not met.

Further, by counting the duration of continuous occurrence of marks indicating that conditions are met, and comparing the duration with the first preset duration, when the duration reaches the first preset duration, it indicates that the required steam effect is achieved, and the Stop the heating work of the washing heating pipe to end the steam process currently in progress.

It can be understood that the above-mentioned statistical method of maintaining time for water temperature and air temperature that meet the first preset condition is only an illustrative explanation. This application does not specifically limit this. For other maintenance times that appear in the future, the maintenance time can be obtained. The statistical method is also within the protection scope of this application.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first preset time period refers to the maintenance time to achieve the steam effect, and this time can be flexibly set according to actual laundry processing needs. For example, for a simple steam function required in a laundry treatment device, the first preset time period may be set to 2 minutes.

It should be noted that for the specific process of determining that the water temperature and air temperature meet the first preset condition, please refer to the detailed description of the following embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

It should be further explained that when it is detected that the heating time of the washing heating pipe exceeds the second preset time length, the washing heating pipe is controlled to stop heating and the current steam process is ended.

Wherein, the second preset duration refers to the timeout time of the steam process. It should be noted that the second preset duration is much longer than the first preset duration.

That is to say, if the actual steam effect cannot be achieved within a certain time range, the current steam process needs to be ended to ensure that the subsequent laundry processing process is entered.

At this point, the control process shown in Figure 3 above is completed. When the washing heating tube starts to heat, the water temperature and air temperature in the washing bucket are detected in real time, and when the water temperature and air temperature meet certain preset conditions and are maintained for a certain period of time, the determination is made. The steam effect is achieved and the steam process ends. Since real-time detection of the water temperature and air temperature in the washing tub can reflect differences in environmental changes, the actual steam effect can be generated by judging the water temperature and air temperature to meet certain conditions, so that the clothes in the washing tub can receive stable steam in any environment. The steam time ensures that the clothes treatment effect is not affected by environmental changes, thus meeting the user's needs for clothes treatment effect.

Example 2:

Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of another steam control method for a clothes treatment device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Based on the above embodiment shown in Figure 3, as shown in Figure 4, the clothes The steam control method of the treatment device includes the following steps:

Step 401: When the heating signal of the washing heating pipe is detected, detect the water temperature and air temperature in the washing bucket of the clothes processing device.

For the specific implementation of step 401, please refer to the relevant description of step 301 in the above embodiment, which will not be described again in this application.

Step 402: Determine the temperature difference between the detected water temperature and air temperature.

Among them, when determining the temperature difference between the water temperature and the air temperature, it is necessary to use the water temperature and air temperature detected at the same time to ensure data consistency in time and space.

In the embodiment of the present application, since steam is generated because the temperature of water increases, when the actual steam effect is achieved, the water temperature is usually higher than the air temperature.

Based on this, the temperature difference between the water temperature and the air temperature can be specifically the difference between the water temperature minus the air temperature, so that the temperature difference always remains positive, which facilitates subsequent comparison.

Step 403: Based on the temperature difference being less than the preset threshold and the water temperature being greater than the preset temperature, determine that the water temperature and air temperature meet the first preset condition.

The preset threshold refers to the temperature difference between the water temperature and the air temperature required to achieve the actual steam effect, and can be set to 20 degrees, for example. The preset temperature refers to the temperature value that the water in the washing bucket needs to reach to achieve the actual steam effect. For example, it can be set to 60 degrees.

When achieving the actual steam effect, the control of the temperature difference between the water temperature and the air temperature, as well as the control of the temperature value of the water in the washing bucket, can be obtained through multiple experimental tests.

It should be noted that the preset threshold is related to the ambient temperature, so the preset threshold can also be adjusted according to the actual ambient temperature. The adjustment method includes: obtaining the current ambient temperature from the cloud server and adjusting the preset threshold size according to the current ambient temperature. .

Specifically, when the ambient temperature decreases, the preset threshold can be adjusted larger so that the clothes in the washing tub can receive a stable steam time in any environment, ensuring that the clothes treatment effect is not affected by environmental changes.

Based on the above description, it can be seen that the first preset condition is that the temperature difference between the water temperature and the air temperature is less than the preset threshold and the water temperature is also greater than the preset temperature.

Step 404: Determine that the water temperature and air temperature meet the first preset condition and maintain the first preset time period, and control the washing heating pipe to stop heating.

At this point, the control process shown in Figure 4 is completed. When the washing heating tube starts to heat, the water temperature and air temperature in the washing bucket are detected in real time, and when the water temperature and air temperature meet certain preset conditions and maintain for a certain period of time, the determination is made. The steam effect is achieved and the steam process ends. Since real-time detection of the water temperature and air temperature in the washing tub can reflect differences in environmental changes, the actual steam effect can be generated by judging the water temperature and air temperature to meet certain conditions, so that the clothes in the washing tub can receive stable steam in any environment. The steam time ensures that the clothes treatment effect is not affected by environmental changes, thus meeting the user's needs for clothes treatment effect.

In addition, the preset condition is set to the temperature difference between the water temperature and the air temperature being less than the preset threshold, and the water temperature is also higher than the preset temperature. In this way, the water temperature and the air temperature are relatively close, and the water temperature is relatively high, which can ensure that the actual steam is achieved. Effect.

Embodiment three:

Figure 5 is a schematic flowchart of yet another steam control method for a clothes treatment device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The steam control method can be applied to the clothes treatment device shown in Figure 2 above. With reference to the above figure 3 to the embodiment shown in Figure 4.

As shown in Figure 5, the steam control method of the laundry treatment device includes the following steps:

Step 501: Detect the heating signal of the washing heating tube, and detect the water temperature, air temperature, and air humidity in the washing bucket of the clothes processing device in real time.

For the specific process of detecting the heating signal of the washing heating tube and detecting the water temperature and air temperature in the washing bucket in real time, please refer to the relevant description of step 301 in the above embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

In the embodiment of the present application, the real-time detection process of air humidity can be detected in real time by a humidity sensor provided in the washing bucket.

Based on the detection descriptions of water temperature and air temperature in the above embodiments, it can be understood that the detection frequency of the first temperature sensor, the detection frequency of the second temperature sensor, and the detection frequency of the humidity sensor can be set to the same, so that the first temperature The sensor, the second temperature sensor, and the humidity sensor can maintain the consistency of the detection time, thereby ensuring the consistency of the collection time of water temperature, air temperature, and air humidity.

Step 502: Determine that the water temperature, air temperature and air humidity meet the second preset condition and maintain the first preset time period, and control the washing heating pipe to stop heating.

Among them, the statistical principle of the maintenance time for the water temperature, air temperature and air humidity to meet the second preset condition is the same as the statistical principle of the maintenance time for the water temperature and air temperature to meet the first preset condition in step 302 of the above embodiment. This application No further details will be given here.

For the judgment process that the detected water temperature, air temperature and air humidity meet the second preset condition, in an optional specific embodiment, by determining the temperature difference between the water temperature and the air temperature, based on the temperature difference being less than the preset condition threshold and the water temperature is greater than the preset temperature and the air humidity is greater than the preset humidity, it is determined that the water temperature, air temperature and air humidity meet the second preset condition.

At this point, the control process shown in Figure 5 above is completed. Based on the consideration of water temperature and air temperature, this scheme determines the water temperature, air temperature, and air humidity to meet the requirements because the air humidity in the washing bucket can also reflect differences in environmental changes. Certain conditions are used to better produce the actual steam effect, so that the clothes in the washing bucket can receive a stable steam time no matter in any environment, ensuring that the clothes treatment effect is not affected by environmental changes, thereby satisfying the user's requirements for the clothes treatment effect. need.

Step 605: If established, control the washing heating pipe to stop heating.

Step 606: If not, determine whether the duration of the steam process exceeds the second preset duration. If it exceeds the second preset duration, execute step 607. If it does not exceed the second preset duration, proceed to step 604.

Step 607: Control the washing heating tube to stop heating.
