Detailed ways

The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

Clothes that cannot be washed usually need to be sent to dry cleaners for cleaning, which is expensive and time-consuming. Currently, traditional washing machines, integrated washing and drying machines, dryers and other clothing processing equipment can only perform simple care for clothes that cannot be washed, such as wrinkle removal, odor removal, sterilization, etc., but cannot perform decontamination treatment on such clothes.

Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a clothing cleaning method, which improves the control method of traditional clothing processing equipment, and achieves micro-water decontamination of clothing through traditional clothing processing equipment, so that users can use the clothing processing equipment at home to decontaminate clothes of any material, which can not only achieve the expected decontamination effect, but also complete the washing in a short time. After washing, the clothes can be used without drying, and there is no need to send the clothes to a dry cleaner for cleaning, thereby reducing the money cost and time cost of clothing decontamination treatment.

As shown in FIG1 , the clothes cleaning method according to an embodiment of the present application comprises:

Step 101, determine that the dry cleaning program needs to be run, enter the first control stage, and in the first control stage, control the steam device to inject steam into the barrel.

The clothes cleaning method of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to clothes processing equipment such as washing machines, dryers, and integrated washing and drying machines. When a user needs to run a dry cleaning program on the clothes to be washed through the clothes processing equipment, the user first places the clothes to be washed in the barrel of the clothes processing equipment.

It should be noted that in some implementation schemes, such as a clothes dryer, there is only one drying barrel, and the barrel refers to the clothing processing chamber; in some other implementation schemes, such as a washer-dryer, it includes an inner barrel and an outer barrel, the clothes are placed in the inner barrel, and the water is placed in the outer barrel. In this implementation scheme, the barrel includes an inner barrel and an outer barrel, and controlling the rotation of the barrel refers to controlling the rotation of the inner barrel.

For example, in order to improve the decontamination effect of clothes, the user can manually apply dry cleaning solvent to the local position of the clothes with stains before putting the clothes to be washed into the barrel, and then put the clothes to be washed into the barrel, which is conducive to enhancing the decontamination effect of the dry cleaning solvent. For lightly soiled clothes, it is not necessary to apply dry cleaning solvent in advance.

After the user places the clothes to be washed in the barrel, he can input the start instruction of the dry cleaning program in the control panel of the clothes processing device, and the clothes processing device receives the start instruction input by the user from the control panel. The client corresponding to the clothing processing device is installed in the user terminal such as a mobile phone or a computer, and the user sends a start instruction of the dry cleaning program to the clothing processing device through the client in the user terminal. In this way, the clothing processing device can determine that the dry cleaning program needs to be run based on the received start instruction.

Exemplarily, if the clothing processing device determines that a dry cleaning program needs to be run based on the received start-up instruction, it enters a first control stage, in which the steam device is controlled to inject steam into the barrel.

It can be understood that the first control stage, i.e. the stage of wetting the clothes, makes it easier to remove the stains on the clothes. Specifically, after ensuring that the clothes in the barrel are fully wetted by the steam, the dry cleaning solvent is added so that the dry cleaning solvent contacts the wetted clothes, which helps to dissolve and remove the stains on the clothes, i.e. the dry cleaning solvent fully dissolves the stains.

Exemplarily, controlling the steam device to inject steam into the barrel includes:

Control the steam generator to start, and blow the steam generated by the steam generator into the barrel through the fan; and/or,

The water inlet valve is controlled to open, and water is poured into the barrel body to a preset water level, which is higher than the heating device at the bottom of the barrel body; the heating device at the bottom is controlled to open, and the water in the barrel body is evaporated to generate steam.

In one implementation, the steam device includes a steam generator, which can be arranged in a box of the clothing processing device, and the steam generator is connected to a steam pipe, and the outlet of the steam pipe is arranged upstream or downstream of the fan. The fan is located at the front end of the drying tunnel, and the drying tunnel is connected to the barrel body. The fan is turned on before, after or at the same time as the steam generator is turned on. The rotation of the fan drives the steam from the drying tunnel into the barrel body, so that the steam circulates in the channel formed by the barrel body and the drying tunnel. If the steam pipe is arranged upstream of the fan, the fan can be a suction fan; and if the steam pipe is arranged downstream of the fan, the fan can be an exhaust fan.

The steam generator is used to generate steam, which can generate steam continuously and smoothly. The time delay between the steam generator being turned on and the steam being generated is very short and can be ignored. By injecting steam into the barrel body, the humidity in the barrel body can be increased to achieve the effect of wetting clothes.

In another implementation, a washing machine, a washer-dryer and other clothing processing equipment includes an inner drum and an outer drum, the inner drum is arranged in the outer drum, and a heating device is also arranged in the outer drum, and the heating device is located at the bottom of the barrel of the inner drum, that is, the heating device is arranged in the space between the outer drum and the inner drum. In these clothing processing equipment, the steam device also includes a heating device located at the bottom of the barrel. When the clothing processing equipment receives a start instruction of the dry cleaning program, the water inlet valve is controlled to open and water is injected into the barrel. During the water injection process, the current water level is monitored in real time through the water level sensor. When the current water level reaches a preset water level, the water inlet valve is controlled to close, and the preset water level is higher than the height of the heating device at the bottom of the barrel. After the water inlet valve is closed, the heating device at the bottom of the barrel is controlled to open, and the heating device evaporates the water at the preset water level by heating, thereby generating steam in the barrel.

Before, after or at the same time as the heating device at the bottom of the barrel is turned on, the fan in the drying tunnel can also be turned on, and the fan blows the steam so that the steam circulates in the channel formed by the barrel and the drying tunnel. The heating device at the bottom of the barrel is used to generate steam. Although there is a process of water heating in the initial stage of heating by the heating device, there will be a certain time delay in the generation of steam, but the power of the heating device at the bottom of the barrel is higher than that of the steam generator. For example, the power of the steam generator can be 500w-700w, and the power of the heating device at the bottom of the barrel can be 800w-1200w. Therefore, it is more efficient to generate steam by heating through the heating device at the bottom of the barrel. The water is heated by the heating device at the bottom of the barrel, and a large amount of steam is generated in the barrel, which increases the humidity in the barrel and achieves the effect of wetting clothes.

For example, in order to better control the humidity in the barrel, the embodiment of the present application can also alternately control the steam generator and the heating device at the bottom of the barrel to inject steam into the barrel. The two methods can be used alternately once or multiple times.

In one implementation, the number of alternations is one. Specifically, the first steam device is controlled to inject steam into the barrel body. The first steam device is any steam device in the steam generator and the heating device at the bottom of the barrel body. It is determined that the opening time of the first steam device reaches the preset time, the first steam device is turned off, and the second steam device is controlled to inject steam into the barrel body. The second steam device is a steam device in the steam generator and the heating device at the bottom except the first steam device. Among them, the preset time can be 3 minutes, 4 minutes or 5 minutes, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In another implementation, the number of alternations can be multiple times, that is, the steam generator and the heating device at the bottom of the barrel can be alternately controlled multiple times to generate steam. Alternating the steam generator and the heating device at the bottom of the barrel to generate steam can better control the humidity in the barrel, and can generate steam immediately after receiving the start instruction of the dry cleaning program, and can ensure that the efficiency of generating steam is high, so that the barrel is filled with steam in a very short time, so as to use steam to wet the clothes and remove stains in the clothes with the help of steam.

In another implementation, the steam generator and the heating device at the bottom of the barrel can be turned on at the same time to generate steam. Using these two methods to generate steam at the same time can generate a large amount of steam in a very short time, quickly increase the humidity in the barrel, shorten the time to wetting clothes, and improve the decontamination efficiency.

Step 102, determining that the first control stage is finished, and entering the second control stage, in which the solution delivery device is controlled to deliver dry cleaning solvent into the barrel.

Exemplarily, the clothing processing equipment can start timing when entering the first control stage, and compare the timing time with the first working time (i.e., the set working time of the first control stage); if the timing time is less than the first working time, continue to inject steam; if the timing time reaches the first working time, control the solution delivery device to deliver dry cleaning solvent into the barrel.

The first working duration may be a set duration that is mapped to the clothing load based on test data. For example, the clothing processing device may obtain the clothing load in the barrel and determine the first working duration based on the clothing load and the aforementioned mapping relationship.

It is understandable that the steam injected in the first control stage can increase the humidity in the barrel and fully wet the clothes. After the steam wets the clothes, the stains attached to the surface of the clothes or inside the fibers will be softened by the steam, which promotes the separation of the stains from the fibers. After that, the dry cleaning solvent is added, and the dry cleaning solvent is mixed in the steam and penetrates into the clothes. After the dry cleaning solvent contacts the softened stains, the stains will dissolve in the dry cleaning solvent or steam to form liquid crystals. Therefore, first introducing steam to fully wet the clothes, and then introducing the dry cleaning solvent, can help speed up the softening of the stains and the speed of dissolving them in the dry cleaning solvent or steam, thereby improving the decontamination efficiency.

The embodiment of the present application needs to remove stains on clothes in an environment where only a trace amount of water is provided by steam. Therefore, a compound dry cleaning solvent is selected. The dry cleaning solvent can emulsify and dissolve stains under a certain temperature and humidity environment, and can evaporate to carry the dissolved stains away from the clothes, thereby achieving the effect of removing stains on the clothes.

In order to achieve the delivery of dry-cleaning solvent, in one implementation, the clothing processing device only includes a solvent box and at least one delivery port, the solvent box is used to hold the dry-cleaning solvent, the delivery port connects the solvent box and the barrel, and the dry-cleaning solvent in the solvent box enters the barrel from the solvent box through the delivery port. Before starting the dry-cleaning program, the user adds the dry-cleaning solvent to the solvent box. The user can determine the dry-cleaning solvent to be used according to the type of stains on the clothes, and add the dry-cleaning solvent to be used to the solvent box. After the clothing processing device receives the start instruction of the dry-cleaning program, it controls the solution delivery device to deliver the dry-cleaning solvent contained in the solvent box into the barrel through one or more delivery ports.

In another implementation, the clothing treatment device can automatically select different dry-cleaning solvents for different stain types or different clothing material types. Specifically, the clothing treatment device includes a plurality of solvent boxes, each of which is used to hold dry-cleaning solvents corresponding to different stain types or different clothing material types. Exemplarily, controlling the solution delivery device to deliver dry-cleaning solvents into the barrel includes:

Acquiring dry-cleaning agent selection information, the dry-cleaning agent selection information including at least one of the following: stain type, clothing material type, and dry-cleaning agent type;

Determine a solvent box containing a dry-cleaning solvent corresponding to the dry-cleaning agent selection information;

The solution delivery device is controlled to inject the dry cleaning solvent in the solvent box into the barrel through one or more delivery ports.

It is understandable that the clothing processing device pre-stores the mapping relationship between different stain types, different clothing material types, and different dry-cleaning agent types and solvent box identifiers. After receiving the dry-cleaning agent selection information submitted by the user, the solvent box identifier corresponding to the dry-cleaning agent selection information is determined according to the pre-stored mapping relationship. The solution delivery device is controlled to inject the dry-cleaning solvent contained in the solvent box corresponding to the solvent box identifier into the barrel through one or more delivery ports. The dry-cleaning solvent corresponding to the stain type or clothing material type is used to improve the stain removal effect. By using multiple solvent boxes It stores different types of dry-cleaning solvents and automatically dispenses dry-cleaning solvents according to the dry-cleaning agent selection information submitted by the user, which improves the automation of dispensing dry-cleaning solvents and improves user experience. Dispensing dry-cleaning solvents through multiple dispensing ports effectively improves the uniformity of dispensing dry-cleaning solvents, so that dry-cleaning solvents can be sprayed on all parts of the clothes, improving the decontamination effect of the clothes.

In one implementation, the solution delivery device includes a vacuum pump, and the clothing processing device controls the vacuum pump to deliver the dry cleaning solvent in the solvent box into the barrel by pressure squeezing.

When the dry cleaning solvent is added by vacuum pump pressure, the particles are larger, and all the dry cleaning solvent in the solvent box can be quickly added to the barrel, shortening the time required for adding the dry cleaning solvent.

In another implementation, the solution delivery device includes an ultrasonic atomizer, and the clothing processing equipment controls the ultrasonic atomizer to atomize the dry cleaning solvent in the solvent box, and delivers the generated misty dry cleaning solvent into the barrel through one or more delivery ports.

When ultrasonic atomization is used, the dry cleaning solvent is put into the barrel in a mist form. When put into the barrel, the particles of the dry cleaning solvent are smaller and the diffusion range is larger. The dry cleaning solvent can be sprayed more evenly to various positions of the clothes, which helps to improve the decontamination effect of various parts of the clothes.

It should be noted that the second control stage can be understood as a stage in which clothes are washed with dry cleaning solvents. It should be noted that the stain removal mechanism of the clothing cleaning method of the embodiment of the present application mainly includes processes such as penetration, dissolution, entrainment, liquid crystal formation, emulsification and saponification. If it is under completely water-free conditions, it is difficult to completely dissolve and entrain the stains from the surface of the clothes by relying only on a small amount of atomized dry cleaning solvent. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application considers decontamination by utilizing the combined action of steam and dry cleaning solvents. Steam plays a role in wetting clothes, which helps to accelerate the penetration of dry cleaning solvents in clothes. Dry cleaning solvents play a role in dissolving and emulsifying stains. The stains dissolved and emulsified by the dry cleaning solvent can be dissolved in the dry cleaning solvent to form liquid crystals, which are eventually evaporated away with the hot air to achieve the effect of removing stains.

In some embodiments, in the second control stage, the method further includes: controlling the barrel to rotate forward and reverse alternately. Compared with the defects of uneven spraying of dry cleaning solvents caused by the unidirectional rotation of the barrel, which makes it easy for clothes to form a ball and local areas of clothes to be repeatedly sprayed while local areas have not been sprayed, the embodiment of the present application can make the dry cleaning solvent be sprayed evenly on the clothes in the barrel, which helps the dry cleaning solvent to fully penetrate into the fibers of the clothes, dissolve and emulsify the stains, thereby maximizing the decontamination effect and improving the washing efficiency.

Exemplarily, controlling the barrel to rotate forward and reverse alternately includes:

The barrel body is controlled to rotate forward and reverse alternately at a set speed, wherein the set speed has a value range of 50 to 60 revolutions per minute.

It should be noted that the barrel body rotates alternately forward and reversely at the above-mentioned set speed, which can make the clothes in the barrel body be in a completely scattered state as the barrel body rotates, thereby increasing the contact area between the clothes and the steam and dry cleaning solvent, and is more helpful in removing stains.

Exemplarily, the clothing processing equipment can also control the barrel to rotate forward and reverse alternately at a set rhythm. For example, the set rhythm can be 15 seconds forward/15 seconds reverse, 30 seconds forward/30 seconds reverse, etc. In this way, the time when the barrel stops can be minimized by setting the rhythm, so that the clothes are always in a scattered state, thereby increasing the contact area between the clothes and the steam and dry cleaning solvent, which is more helpful in removing stains.

Considering that the dry cleaning solvent concentration in the barrel is an important parameter affecting the decontamination effect, in some embodiments, the dry cleaning solvent concentration in the barrel can be controlled to be maintained above a set concentration in the second control stage. The preset concentration can be 0.1 g/L (grams per liter), 0.15 g/L or 0.2 g/L, etc.

In some embodiments, controlling the dry cleaning solvent concentration in the barrel to be maintained above a preset concentration includes:

Determine that the opening time of the solution feeding device reaches a first preset time, and control the solution feeding device to be closed, the first preset time being the time required for the dry cleaning solvent concentration in the barrel to reach a preset concentration at the feeding rate of the solution feeding device; determine that the closing time of the solution feeding device reaches a second preset time, and control the solution feeding device to be opened; or,

The concentration sensor detects the dry cleaning solvent concentration in the barrel; When the dry cleaning solvent concentration is lower than the preset concentration, the solution feeding device is controlled to be turned on.

In one implementation, the time required for the dry-cleaning solvent concentration in the barrel to reach a preset concentration is calculated based on the solution delivery rate of the solution delivery device and the capacity of the barrel, and the delivery time is configured as the first preset time in the clothing processing device. And the time required for the dry-cleaning solvent concentration in the barrel to drop from the preset concentration to less than the preset concentration is tested through a large number of experiments, and the time is configured as the second preset time in the clothing processing device.

Among them, the first preset time length can be 8 minutes, 10 minutes or 12 minutes, etc., and the second preset time length can be 2 minutes, 3 minutes or 4 minutes, etc.

It is understandable that in the second control stage, the laundry processing device can start timing when the solution delivery device is turned on, and when the timing reaches the first preset time, the solution delivery device is controlled to be turned off. When the solution delivery device is turned off, the timing is restarted, and when the restarted timing reaches the second preset time, the solution delivery device is controlled to be turned on again, and the solution delivery device is controlled to be turned on or off in a cycle to maintain the dry cleaning solvent concentration in the barrel body above the preset concentration.

In another implementation, a concentration sensor for detecting the dry-cleaning solvent concentration may also be provided in the barrel. In the second control stage, the clothing processing device may detect the dry-cleaning solvent concentration in the barrel in real time through the concentration sensor. When it is detected that the dry-cleaning solvent concentration is greater than or equal to the preset concentration, the solution delivery device is controlled to be closed. When it is detected that the dry-cleaning solvent concentration is less than the preset concentration, the solution delivery device is turned on again. In this way, the opening or closing of the solution delivery device is controlled cyclically to maintain the dry-cleaning solvent concentration in the barrel above the preset concentration.

It can be understood that by controlling the solution delivery device to be alternately opened or closed in the above manner, the concentration of the dry cleaning solvent in the barrel is maintained above the preset concentration, ensuring that there is a sufficient concentration of dry cleaning solvent to dissolve the stains on the emulsified clothes, ensuring that the decontamination effect can be maximized, and further helping to dissolve and remove the stains.

Considering that the humidity in the barrel is an important parameter affecting the decontamination effect, in some embodiments, the humidity in the barrel can be controlled to be maintained above a preset humidity in the second control stage. The preset humidity can be 50%, 55%, 60%, etc.

Exemplarily, controlling the humidity in the barrel to be maintained above a preset humidity includes:

The humidity in the barrel is detected by a humidity sensor; if the humidity is greater than or equal to the preset humidity, the steam device is controlled to be closed; if the humidity is less than the preset humidity, the steam device is controlled to be opened.

In one implementation, a humidity sensor for detecting ambient humidity may be provided in the barrel. In the second control stage, the humidity in the barrel may be detected in real time by the humidity sensor. When the humidity is detected to be greater than or equal to the preset humidity, the steam device is turned off, and when the humidity is detected to be less than the preset humidity, the steam device is turned on again. The steam device is controlled to be turned on or off in such a cycle to maintain the humidity above the preset humidity.

It can be understood that by controlling the steam device to be alternately turned on or off in the above manner, the humidity in the barrel can be maintained above the preset humidity in the second control stage, ensuring that the clothes can be fully moistened during the dry cleaning solvent washing process, which is more conducive to the dissolution and removal of stains.

Step 103, determining that the second control stage is finished and entering the third control stage, in which the steam device is controlled to continue injecting steam into the barrel.

It is understandable that after the running time of the clothes processing device in the second control stage reaches the second working time (i.e., the set working time of the second control stage), the steam device is controlled to continue to inject steam into the barrel (i.e., enter the third control stage). In other words, the clothes processing device needs to continue to inject steam into the barrel after the dry cleaning solvent washes the clothes and before the hot air is introduced into the barrel (which can be understood as secondary steam injection).

It should be noted that the second working time mentioned above is the time for the dry cleaning solvent to be applied, which can be reasonably determined based on test data. For example, the second working time can be determined based on the application rate of the solution application device and the decontamination effect that can be achieved at different time lengths. In an application example, the second working time is a set time that is mapped to the load of clothes based on test data. For example, the clothes processing device can obtain the load of clothes in the barrel, and determine the second working time based on the mapping relationship between the load of clothes and the test.

The third control stage can be understood as the stage in which the steam injected assists the dry cleaning solvent in washing and rinsing before hot air is introduced into the barrel. It should be noted that the steam injected in the third control stage is used to assist the dry cleaning solvent in decontamination and can achieve the effect of rinsing. Specifically, after the dry cleaning solvent fully reacts with the stains, dissolves and emulsifies the stains, and adsorbs them to the surface of the clothes, the injected steam can be further used to dissolve and wrap the stains and volatilize them away, thereby reducing the residue of dry cleaning solvent and stains.

It can be understood that the method of the embodiment of the present application can achieve the washing of clothes in the barrel by steam fusion dry cleaning solvent based on the cooperation of the above three control stages. Specifically, the first control stage is the stage of wetting the clothes, so that the stains on the clothes are easier to peel off and remove. The second control stage is the stage of washing the clothes with dry cleaning solvent. The third control stage is the stage of washing and rinsing with dry cleaning solvent based on the replenished steam before hot air is introduced into the barrel, which can effectively improve the decontamination effect of the dry cleaning solvent.

Step 104, determining that the third control stage is finished, and introducing hot air into the barrel.

It is understandable that when the running time of the clothes processing device in the third control stage reaches the third working time (i.e., the set working time of the third control stage), the steam injection is terminated, i.e., the steam device is turned off, and hot air is introduced into the barrel. The third working time can be a preset time, for example, a time reasonably determined based on the needs of auxiliary decontamination and rinsing.

In the embodiment of the present application, considering that the steam injected in the third control stage (i.e., the second injection of steam) is after the dry-cleaning solvent is added, compared with the steam injected in the first control stage (i.e., the first injection of steam), which is only used to wet the clothes and pre-dissolve the water-soluble stains, the second injection of steam can ensure that there is sufficient humidity in the barrel body, so that the added dry-cleaning solvent can fully exert the function of dissolving stains; at the same time, for the small molecule stains dissolved in the barrel body, the second injection of steam can wrap the small molecule stains and discharge them from the barrel body in time, that is, the second injection of steam can not only promote the dry-cleaning solvent to dissolve the stains and enhance the decontamination ability, but also take away the dissolved stains to achieve the rinsing function. Therefore, setting the action duration of the third control stage to be longer than the action duration of the first control stage, that is, the third working duration is longer than the first working duration, so that the effect of the second injection of steam can be better exerted.

For example, the third working time can be 3 to 6 times the first working time. By reasonably setting the ratio of the third working time to the first working time, the steam in the barrel can be maximized to improve the washing efficiency and ensure the decontamination effect. Specifically, if the above multiple is less than 3 times, it is easy to cause the problem that the stains are dissolved in large quantities but cannot be discharged and remain on the surface of the clothes; if it is greater than 6 times, it is easy to cause the moisture content of the clothes to be too high, and the clothes are at risk of shrinkage.

Exemplarily, a heating device and a fan are provided in the drying channel of the clothing processing equipment. When the heating device and the fan are turned on, hot air circulates in the channel formed by the barrel and the drying channel, thereby reducing the humidity in the barrel and causing water vapor and dry cleaning solvent on the surface of the clothes to volatilize, thereby removing the stains in the dry cleaning solvent and/or water vapor from the clothes, thereby achieving the effect of removing stains.

In some embodiments, introducing hot air into the barrel includes:

Calculate the amount of steam injected into the barrel according to the corresponding cumulative opening time of the steam device and the steam generation rate;

Calculate the drying time based on the steam volume and the preset evaporation rate corresponding to the heating device in the drying tunnel;

Control the heating device and fan in the drying tunnel to introduce hot air into the barrel;

Make sure that the duration of hot air supply reaches the drying time, and control the fan and the heating device in the drying tunnel to shut down.

In an application example, assume that the cumulative opening time of the steam device is 10 minutes, and the steam generation rate is 150g/min. The preset evaporation rate of the heating device in the drying tunnel is 100g/min. The total amount of steam injected into the barrel is 1500g, and the calculated drying time is 15 minutes.

It should be noted that the dry cleaning solvent in the embodiment of the present application contains surfactants and enzyme preparations, which are the main effective ingredients for decontamination. Surfactants and enzyme preparations have higher activity at higher temperatures, and thus have higher decontamination effects. Based on this, the temperature in the barrel can be controlled to be maintained within a preset temperature range in at least one of the first control stage, the second control stage, and the third control stage. The preset temperature range can be 50 to 70°C. Preferably, considering that the dry cleaning solvent is mainly used for stain removal in the second control stage and the third control stage, In addition, the temperature in the barrel can be controlled to be maintained within a preset temperature range during the second control stage and the third control stage.

Exemplarily, controlling the temperature in the barrel to be maintained within a preset temperature range includes:

Detect the current temperature inside the barrel through a temperature sensor;

According to the current temperature being lower than the lower limit of the preset temperature range, the heating device in the drying tunnel is controlled to be turned on to heat the steam passing through the drying tunnel; or,

When the current temperature is greater than the upper limit of the preset temperature range, the heating device in the drying tunnel is controlled to be turned off.

Exemplarily, the current temperature in the barrel is detected by a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor can be arranged on the inner wall of the barrel or at the air outlet of the drying tunnel. The detected current temperature is compared with the preset temperature interval. If the current temperature is less than the lower limit of the preset temperature interval, the heating device in the drying tunnel is controlled to be turned on to heat the steam passing through the drying tunnel to increase the temperature in the barrel and enhance the decontamination effect. At the same time, increasing the temperature also helps to avoid the situation where the steam in the barrel is liquefied in large quantities due to the low temperature in the barrel, and avoids excessive humidity in the barrel. If the current temperature is greater than the upper limit of the preset temperature interval, the heating device in the drying tunnel is controlled to be turned off to avoid the inactivation of the enzyme preparation in the dry cleaning solvent due to excessive temperature.

It should be noted that the operation of controlling the temperature in the barrel can be started when the start instruction of the dry cleaning program is received, or it can be started at the same time or after the solution delivery device is turned on.

Exemplarily, the clothes processing device includes a drying system, which includes a drying tunnel, a fan and a heating pipe located in the drying tunnel, etc. Before, after, or while injecting steam into the barrel body, the fan can also be controlled to turn on, the drying tunnel is connected to the barrel body, and the fan blows wind into the barrel body through the drying tunnel, forming a circulating wind in the channel formed by the barrel body and the drying tunnel. Since the heating pipe in the drying tunnel is not turned on for heating at this time, the wind blown into the barrel body is called cold wind. The wind generated by the fan blows the steam generated by the steam generator into the barrel body and circulates the steam.

When the clothes treatment equipment turns on the heating tube based on the temperature control requirements, the air can be heated through the heating tube, so that the wind blown into the barrel by the fan becomes hot air, and the steam passing through the drying channel is reheated to form high-energy steam. The use of high-energy steam can greatly enhance the decontamination effect. At the same time, it also helps to avoid the situation where the steam in the barrel is liquefied in large quantities due to the low temperature in the barrel, and avoid excessive humidity in the barrel.

In some embodiments, the clothing cleaning method further includes: controlling the air volume when steam is injected into the barrel to be smaller than the air volume when dry-cleaning solvent is added into the barrel.

It should be noted that in order to prevent the steam injected into the barrel from being blown away and causing the steam to be unable to fully mix with the clothes, the air volume when the steam is injected into the barrel can be controlled to be smaller than the air volume when the dry cleaning solvent is put into the barrel. In this way, the effect of the steam in the barrel can be effectively guaranteed.

In an application example, if the clothes processing device is a clothes dryer in which the barrel and the fan are driven by a common motor, the barrel can be controlled to rotate in reverse in the first control stage and the third control stage, at which time the air volume of the fan is less than the air volume of the fan when the barrel rotates forward. In the second control stage, the barrel can be controlled to rotate forward and reverse alternately, which helps to evenly spray the dry cleaning solvent on the clothes in the barrel.

In some embodiments, it is determined that the third control stage is finished and hot air is introduced into the barrel.

In some embodiments, before determining that the third control stage has ended and before hot air is introduced into the barrel body, the method further includes: introducing cold air into the barrel body.

It should be noted that, since steam is injected into the barrel in the third control stage, the operating temperature of the compressor will rise suddenly. At this time, introducing cold air into the barrel first can avoid the temperature being too high and affecting the operating performance of the compressor, for example, avoiding abnormal noise caused by high-temperature operation of the compressor, and introducing hot air into the barrel after the cold air is introduced for a set time, which is conducive to avoiding the influence of high temperature on the operating performance of the compressor. The method of introducing cold air into the barrel can be to turn on the fan and turn off the heating pipe in the drying tunnel, so as to blow cold air into the barrel through the drying tunnel.

In some embodiments, before entering the first control stage, the method further includes: shaking out the clothes in the barrel. Exemplarily, after the clothes processing device starts the dry cleaning program, the barrel is first controlled to rotate alternately to shake out the clothes. The clothes in the barrel are shaken out and then enter the first control stage, which can make the clothes in the barrel evenly distributed before the steam is introduced for the first time, which is beneficial to improve the clothing decontamination effect.

In some embodiments, before entering the first control stage, the method further includes: controlling the plasma generator to spray plasma into the barrel. It is understandable that the plasma sprayed into the barrel by the plasma generator can pre-deodorize the clothes in the barrel, so that the clothing cleaning method of the embodiment of the present application can both decontaminate and deodorize the clothes, and better meet the washing needs of users.

The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with application examples.

In this application embodiment, the clothing processing device is a dryer, which has a steam generator, a heating device and a fan in the drying tunnel, and a solution delivery device of the dryer adopts an ultrasonic atomizer, which atomizes the dry cleaning solvent in the solvent box and delivers it into the barrel.

As shown in FIG2 , the clothing cleaning method of this application embodiment includes:

Step 201, start the dry cleaning program.

The clothes dryer receives a start instruction of a dry cleaning program inputted by a user on a control panel, and starts the dry cleaning program based on the start instruction.

Step 202, entering the first control stage, controlling the steam device to inject steam into the barrel.

The clothes dryer can enter the first control stage based on the start instruction, in which the steam generator is turned on to control the barrel to reverse. Since the clothes dryer adopts the mode of driving the barrel and the fan with a common motor, at this time, the fan runs at the first speed corresponding to the barrel reversal, and the steam generated by the steam generator enters the barrel under the action of the fan.

Step 203, entering the second control stage, according to the dry-cleaning agent selection information submitted by the user, controlling the solution delivery device to deliver the dry-cleaning solvent corresponding to the dry-cleaning agent selection information into the barrel, and controlling the dry-cleaning solvent concentration to be maintained above a preset concentration.

The dryer can enter the second control stage when it is determined that the operating time of the first control stage reaches the first working time. In the second control stage, the solution delivery device can be controlled to deliver the dry-cleaning solvent corresponding to the dry-cleaning agent selection information into the barrel body according to the dry-cleaning agent selection information submitted by the user, and the dry-cleaning solvent concentration can be controlled to be maintained above the preset concentration. For details, please refer to the above description and will not be repeated here.

Step 204, in the second control stage, the humidity in the barrel is controlled to be maintained above a preset humidity, the temperature in the barrel is controlled to be maintained within a preset temperature range, and the barrel rotates alternately forward and reversely.

Here, in the second control stage, the dryer can control the humidity in the barrel to maintain above the preset humidity and control the temperature in the barrel to maintain within the preset temperature range, thereby providing suitable humidity and temperature for dry cleaning solvent washing, thereby effectively ensuring the decontamination effect of the dry cleaning solvent.

For example, the clothes dryer may dispense dry-cleaning solvent based on an ultrasonic atomizer, and control the barrel to rotate alternately forward and reverse at a rhythm of 15 seconds forward/15 seconds reverse and a rotation speed of 50 to 60 rpm.

It can be understood that controlling the barrel body to rotate alternately forward and reverse can effectively avoid uneven spraying of dry cleaning solvent caused by the clumping of clothes in the barrel body, and make the clothes in a completely scattered state as the barrel body rotates, which can increase the contact area between the clothes and the steam and dry cleaning solvent, and is more helpful in removing stains.

Step 205, entering the third control stage, controlling the steam device to continue injecting steam into the barrel.

When the dryer determines that the running time of the second control stage reaches the second working time, the ultrasonic atomizer is turned off, the steam generator is turned on again, and the barrel is controlled to reverse. The re-injected steam is used to assist the dry cleaning solvent in decontamination and can achieve a rinsing effect.

Step 206, hot air is introduced into the barrel body for drying.

When the dryer determines that the running time of the third control stage reaches the third working time, it controls the barrel to rotate forward and controls the heating device to turn on. At this time, the fan runs at the second speed corresponding to the forward rotation of the barrel, so that the air flow in the drying channel is heated and then forms hot air to enter the barrel, so that the stains dissolved and emulsified by the dry cleaning solvent can be evaporated and carried away with the hot air, thereby achieving the effect of removing stains.

Step 207, introducing cold air into the barrel body for cooling.

When it is determined that the working time of the hot air drying reaches the drying time, the heating device is turned off, cold air is introduced for cooling, and the dryer is turned off until the dry cleaning program is completed.

It can be understood that the method of the present application embodiment can achieve the washing of clothes in the barrel body by steam fusion dry cleaning solvent based on the coordination of the above three control stages. Specifically, by first injecting steam into the barrel body, then adding dry cleaning solvent into the barrel body, and injecting steam into the barrel body again after adding the dry cleaning solvent, it can be ensured that the clothes can be fully wetted and fully contacted with the dry cleaning solvent, so that the dry cleaning solvent can penetrate into the fibers of the clothes, dissolve and emulsify the stains in the clothes, and help to dissolve and remove the stains on the clothes; thirdly, after adding the dry cleaning solvent, hot air is not introduced, but steam is continuously injected before hot air is introduced, which avoids the hot air from directly taking away the dry cleaning solvent. In the stage of continuing to inject steam, the injected steam can be used to dissolve, wrap and volatilize the stains, thereby reducing the residue of dry cleaning solvent and stains, and achieving the effect of auxiliary dry cleaning solvent decontamination and rinsing; after the continued injection of steam, the steam and dry cleaning solvent are volatilized by hot air, and the stains dissolved in the dry cleaning solvent or steam are taken away, so as to achieve the effect of removing stains in an environment with trace water. This method can be used to remove dirt from clothes of any material using clothing processing equipment at home, which can not only achieve the desired decontamination effect, but also complete the washing in a short time. The clothes can be used without drying them after washing, and there is no need to send them to a dry cleaner for cleaning, thus reducing the money and time costs of clothing decontamination treatment.
