Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the application to those skilled in the art.

It is noted that unless otherwise indicated, technical or scientific terms used herein should be given the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.

A drying control method, apparatus, laundry treating device, and storage medium according to embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

At present, clothes treatment devices with drying functions, such as washing and drying integrated machines and clothes dryers, generally enter air from a rear cover into an inner cylinder to dry loads in the inner cylinder. In the related art, only one air duct is arranged in the rear cover, and air enters the inner cylinder from the air duct through the air guide cap at the bottom of the inner cylinder, and air is uniformly introduced into all parts of the air guide cap. However, in the actual drying scene, the degree of drying the clothes with different thicknesses is different in the same drying time. And some large clothes are wrapped together and cannot be shaken off, the clothes wrapped in the center part are not easy to dry, and even air intake can cause the situation that some clothes are excessively dried or some clothes are not dried.

Based on the above, the embodiment of the application provides a drying control method, which is realized based on a novel rear cover structure and can control the air inlet of a first air guide area and/or a second air guide area on an air guide cap based on the first load humidity close to the barrel wall in the inner barrel and the second load humidity in the middle part of the inner barrel. The air inlet of different parts is flexibly controlled according to the load humidity of different parts, so that the parts with higher humidity can be blown and dried in a targeted manner, the parts with low humidity are not blown and dried, and the situation that clothes close to the barrel wall are excessively dried and clothes in the middle part are not dried is avoided.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of the novel rear cover structure, wherein an inner rib 2 is arranged in a rear cover 1, and the inner rib 2 divides an air duct in the rear cover 1 into an outer ring air duct 3 and an inner ring air duct 4. The rear cover 1 is also provided with a first baffle 5 and a second baffle 6. Wherein, the first baffle 5 is used for opening or closing the outer ring air duct 3, and the second baffle 6 is used for opening or closing the inner ring air duct 4. As shown in fig. 2, the rear surface of the rear cover 1 (i.e., the rear surface of the rear cover 1 shown in fig. 1) is mounted with a first motor 7 and a second motor 8. The first motor 7 is connected to the first shutter 5 for driving the first shutter 5 to open or close. The second motor 8 is connected with the second baffle 6 and is used for driving the second baffle 6 to open or close.

As shown in fig. 3, the laundry treating apparatus includes an inner tub 9 and a rear plate 10, the inner tub 9 being mounted on the rear plate 10, and a rear cover 1 shown in fig. 1 being mounted behind the rear plate 10. As shown in fig. 3, the lifting ribs 11 are provided on the side wall of the inner cylinder 9, and the first humidity sensor 12 is mounted on the side wall of the inner cylinder 9 or mounted on the lifting ribs 11, and fig. 3 is schematically shown by taking the mounting of the first humidity sensor 12 on the lifting ribs 11 as an example. The bottom of the inner cylinder 9 is provided with a wind cap 13, and the second humidity sensor 14 can be mounted at any position of the wind cap 13, and fig. 3 is a schematic illustration of the second humidity sensor 14 mounted at the center of the wind cap 13. The air guide cap 13 is provided with a plurality of air guide holes, the air guide holes located in the middle of the air guide cap 13 are called inner-ring air guide holes, the area where the inner-ring air guide holes are located is called a second air guide area 15, the air guide holes located on the outer periphery of the air guide cap 13 except the inner-ring air guide holes are called outer-ring air guide holes, and the area where the outer-ring air guide holes are located is called a first air guide area 16. As shown in fig. 3, the shape of the hood 13 is circular, and the air guide holes in the circular region of the middle part of the hood 13, which is smaller, belong to the second air guide region 15, and the air guide holes outside the circular region, which is smaller, belong to the first air guide region 16.

When the first baffle 5 in the rear cover 1 is opened, the outer ring air duct 3 in the rear cover 1 is communicated with the first air guiding area 16, and wind generated by the fan enters the inner cylinder 9 along the outer ring air duct 3 and the first air guiding area 16. When the second baffle 6 is opened, the inner ring air duct 4 in the rear cover 1 is communicated with the second air guiding area 15, and wind generated by the fan enters the inner cylinder 9 along the inner ring air duct 4 and the second air guiding area 15.

Based on the above-mentioned structures shown in fig. 1-3, an embodiment of the present application proposes a drying control method, referring to fig. 4, which specifically includes the following steps:

step 101: and in the drying process, acquiring the first load humidity at a first preset position in the cylinder and the second load humidity at a second preset position in the cylinder.

The execution body of the embodiment of the application is a clothes processing device with a drying function, such as a washing and drying integrated machine, a clothes dryer and the like, and the clothes processing device has the structure shown in fig. 1-3.

Because the load rotates with the inner cylinder 9 in the drying process, the load can be wound, so that the load wound inside is not easy to contact with wind blown into the inner cylinder 9, and the load inside is difficult to be dried relative to the load wound on the periphery. Therefore, as the drying process is performed, the humidity of the load wound around the periphery may be greatly different from the humidity of the load inside, and the humidity of the load around the periphery may be less than the humidity of the load inside. Based on this, after the drying procedure is started, the laundry treatment apparatus monitors the first load humidity at the drum wall and the second load humidity in the middle of the inner drum 9 in real time. The first load humidity is the humidity of the load wound around the periphery, and the second load humidity is the humidity of the load wound inside.

The first preset position may be any position on the wall of the inner cylinder 9, and the second preset position may be any position in the middle area of the bottom of the inner cylinder 9. Specifically, the laundry treating apparatus detects a first load humidity of a load near the drum wall by a first humidity sensor 12 provided on the drum wall or the lifting rib 11. The second humidity of the load in the middle of the inner cylinder 9 is detected by a second humidity sensor 14 provided in the middle of the bottom. The second load humidity is detected, for example, by a second humidity sensor 14 provided on the hood 13.

Step 102: the opening or closing of the first and second dampers 5 and 6 on the rear cover 1 is controlled according to the first and second load humidity to supply air from the first and/or second air guide areas 16 and 15 at the bottom of the inner tub 9 to the inner tub 9.

For each moment, the laundry treating apparatus controls the opening or closing of the first and second dampers 5 and 6 on the rear cover 1 according to the magnitude of the two load humidities and the gap therebetween to intake air from the first and/or second air guide areas 16 and 15 at the bottom of the inner tub 9, respectively, by the first and second load humidities synchronously detected by the first and second humidity sensors 12 and 14. Thereby realizing that the air inlet control is adapted to the distribution area of the load humidity in the inner cylinder 9, avoiding the situation that the load on the cylinder wall is excessively dried and the load in the middle is not dried, and improving the final drying effect.

Specifically, the first load humidity and the second load humidity are compared with a first preset humidity threshold, wherein the first preset humidity threshold is a lower humidity for drying, and if the humidity under the condition that the water content of the load reaches saturation is 100%, the first preset humidity threshold can be 10%, 20%, 30% or the like. The value of the first preset humidity threshold is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the application.

If the first load humidity and the second load humidity are both greater than the first preset humidity threshold, the current humidity of the load close to the cylinder wall and the current humidity of the load located in the middle of the inner cylinder 9 are both higher, and blowing and drying are needed. And comparing the first load humidity with the second load humidity, and if the first load humidity is larger than the second load humidity, further calculating the difference between the first load humidity and the second load humidity. The difference is compared with a first preset difference threshold, and the first preset difference threshold can be 20%, 30% or 40%, etc., and the value of the first preset difference threshold is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application.

If the difference is determined to be greater than the first preset difference threshold, the humidity of the load near the cylinder wall is indicated to be much higher than that of the load located in the middle of the inner cylinder 9, so that the first baffle 5 on the rear cover 1 is controlled to be opened, and the second baffle 6 on the rear cover 1 is controlled to be closed, so that air is fed into the inner cylinder 9 from the first air guide area 16 at the bottom of the inner cylinder 9.

Specifically, the first motor 7 is controlled to drive the first baffle plate 5 on the rear cover 1 to open, so that the outer ring air duct 3 in the rear cover 1 is communicated with the first air guide area 16 at the bottom of the inner cylinder 9, and wind generated by the fan enters the inner cylinder 9 through the outer ring air duct 3 and the first air guide area 16. If the second baffle 6 is in the open state at this time, the second motor 8 is controlled to drive the second baffle 6 on the rear cover 1 to be closed, so that the communication channel between the inner ring air duct 4 in the rear cover 1 and the second air guiding area 15 at the bottom of the inner cylinder 9 is closed, and air is not fed from the second air guiding area 15. The first shutter 5 is opened and the second shutter 6 is closed as shown in fig. 5.

Under the condition that the humidity of the load close to the cylinder wall is much higher than that of the load positioned in the middle of the inner cylinder 9, air is introduced from the outer ring air guide holes included in the first air guide area 16 so as to dry the load close to the cylinder wall, and the humidity of the load close to the cylinder wall can be quickly reduced. Meanwhile, air is not fed from the inner ring air guide holes included in the second air guide area 15, so that the difference between the humidity of a load close to the cylinder wall and the humidity of a load in the middle of the inner cylinder 9 is reduced, and the load humidity of each part is more uniform. And under the condition that the humidity of the load in the middle of the inner barrel 9 is lower, air is not fed from the second air guide area 15, and the condition that the load in the middle of the inner barrel 9 is excessively dried can be avoided.

In other embodiments, in the case where the first load humidity and the second load humidity are both greater than the first preset load humidity, if the second load humidity is compared to be greater than the first load humidity, the difference between the second load humidity and the first load humidity is further calculated. The difference is compared with a first preset difference threshold. If the difference is determined to be greater than the first preset difference threshold, the humidity of the load located in the middle of the inner barrel 9 is indicated to be much higher than that of the load located near the barrel wall, so that the second baffle 6 on the rear cover 1 is controlled to be opened, and the first baffle 5 on the rear cover 1 is controlled to be closed, so that air is fed into the inner barrel 9 from the second air guide area 15 at the bottom of the inner barrel 9.

Specifically, the second motor 8 is controlled to drive the second baffle 6 on the rear cover 1 to open, so that the inner ring air duct 4 in the rear cover 1 is communicated with the second air guide area 15 at the bottom of the inner cylinder 9, and wind generated by the fan enters the inner cylinder 9 through the inner ring air duct 4 and the inner ring air guide holes formed in the second air guide area 15. If the first baffle 5 is in the open state at this time, the first motor 7 is controlled to drive the first baffle 5 on the rear cover 1 to be closed at the same time, so that the communication channel between the outer ring air duct 3 in the rear cover 1 and the first air guide area 16 at the bottom of the inner barrel 9 is closed, and air is not fed from the outer ring air guide holes included in the first air guide area 16. The first shutter 5 is closed and the second shutter 6 is opened as shown in fig. 6.

Under the condition that the humidity of the load positioned in the middle of the inner cylinder 9 is much higher than that of the load positioned close to the cylinder wall, air is introduced from the inner ring air guide holes included in the second air guide area 15 so as to dry the load positioned in the middle of the inner cylinder 9, and the humidity of the load positioned in the middle of the inner cylinder 9 can be quickly reduced. Meanwhile, air is not fed from the outer ring air guide holes included in the first air guide area 16, so that the difference between the humidity of a load close to the cylinder wall and the humidity of a load in the middle of the inner cylinder 9 is reduced, and the load humidity of each part is more uniform. And under the condition that the humidity of the load close to the cylinder wall is low, air is not fed from the first air guide area 16, and the condition that the load close to the cylinder wall is excessively dried can be avoided.

In other embodiments, under the condition that the first load humidity and the second load humidity are both greater than the first preset load humidity, if the absolute value of the difference between the first load humidity and the second load humidity is less than or equal to the first preset difference threshold, it indicates that the humidity of the load close to the cylinder wall and the humidity of the load located in the middle of the inner cylinder 9 are both higher, and the difference between the two load humidity is not great, at this time, the first baffle 5 and the second baffle 6 are controlled to be opened, so that air is simultaneously introduced into the inner cylinder 9 from the first air guide area 16 and the second air guide area 15 at the bottom of the inner cylinder 9, that is, air is simultaneously introduced into the inner cylinder 9 from the outer ring air guide hole and the inner ring air guide hole. The first baffle 5 and the second baffle 6 are both opened as shown in fig. 1, so that the humidity of the load close to the cylinder wall and the humidity of the load positioned in the middle of the inner cylinder 9 can be quickly reduced, and the drying rate is improved.

In other embodiments of the present application, considering that the humidity of the load at each location is generally higher at the beginning of the drying procedure, all the air guiding holes on the air guiding cap 13 are evenly fed with air, so that the load humidity at each location can be reduced rapidly. A second preset humidity threshold, which may be 50%, 60%, 70%, etc., is preset in the laundry treating apparatus, and is greater than the first preset humidity threshold. The value of the second preset humidity threshold is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the application.

If the clothes treatment equipment determines that the current first load humidity and the second load humidity are both greater than the second preset humidity threshold value, the first baffle 5 and the second baffle 6 on the rear cover 1 are controlled to be opened so as to simultaneously supply air to the inner cylinder 9 from the first air guide area 16 and the second air guide area 15 at the bottom of the inner cylinder 9. The first baffle 5 and the second baffle 6 are both opened as shown in fig. 1, so that the humidity of the load close to the cylinder wall and the humidity of the load positioned in the middle of the inner cylinder 9 can be quickly reduced, and the drying rate is improved.

During the drying process, the laundry treating apparatus controls the opening or closing of the first barrier 5 and/or the second barrier 6 according to the above embodiments to dry the load. Along with the continuous progress of the drying process, the humidity of the load at each position in the inner cylinder 9 is continuously reduced, and when the first load humidity and the second load humidity are determined to be smaller than or equal to the first preset humidity threshold value, the current drying process is determined to be finished, and the first baffle plate 5 and the second baffle plate 6 on the rear cover 1 are controlled to be closed.

In other embodiments of the present application, considering that the humidity of the load at each location is generally higher at the beginning of the drying procedure, the load may be simultaneously air-fed into the first air guiding area 16 and the second air guiding area 15 for a preset period of time at the beginning of the drying procedure, and then controlled according to the above embodiments. Specifically, after receiving a start instruction of a drying program, the laundry treating apparatus controls the first and second dampers 5 and 6 on the rear cover 1 to open to simultaneously intake air from the first and second air guide areas 16 and 15 at the bottom of the inner tub 9 to the inner tub 9. When it is determined that the dried time period reaches the preset time period, the drying control process is executed again from step 101.

The preset time period may be 20min, 30min, 35min, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the value of the preset time period.

In the preset time period, air is uniformly introduced from all the air guide holes of the air guide cap 13, so that the humidity of the load at each position can be rapidly reduced. And the drying operation does not need to be controlled according to the first load humidity and the second load humidity in the preset time period, so that the calculated amount of the clothes treatment equipment is reduced.

In the whole drying process, before the first load humidity and the second load humidity reach the first preset humidity threshold for judging dryness, if the first load humidity and the second load humidity are both greater than the second preset humidity threshold, air is simultaneously introduced from the first air guide area 16 and the second air guide area 15. If the first load humidity is greater than the second load humidity and the difference is greater than the first preset difference threshold, air is only introduced from the outer ring air guide holes included in the first air guide area 16. If the second load humidity is greater than the first load humidity and the difference value of the second load humidity and the first load humidity is greater than the first preset difference value threshold value, air is only introduced from the inner ring air guide holes included in the second air guide area 15. If the absolute value of the difference value is smaller than or equal to the first preset difference value threshold value, air is simultaneously introduced from the first air guiding area 16 and the second air guiding area 15. According to the control mode, the drying process is controlled to be finished until the first load humidity and the second load humidity reach the first preset humidity threshold, so that the load at the cylinder wall and/or the load at the middle of the inner cylinder 9 can be blown according to the load humidity at the cylinder wall and the load at the middle of the inner cylinder 9 in a targeted manner, each part can be dried, and the situation that the load at the cylinder wall is excessively dried and the load at the middle of the inner cylinder 9 is not dried is effectively avoided.

In the embodiment of the application, the inner rib is arranged in the rear cover of the clothes treatment equipment, the air duct is divided into the outer-ring air duct and the inner-ring air duct by the inner rib, and whether the outer-ring air duct is communicated with the first air guide area on the air guide cap or not is controlled by opening or closing the first baffle. And the second baffle is opened or closed to control whether the inner ring air duct is communicated with the second air guide area on the air guide cap. The first load humidity of section of thick bamboo wall department and the second load humidity at inner tube middle part are monitored in the stoving in-process, through the difference between the size of first load humidity and second load humidity and the two, the opening or closing of first baffle and second baffle is controlled, thereby adjust the air inlet region in the inner tube, realize that the air inlet region suits with the humidity distribution of load thing, make the load thing can be dried more evenly, the flexibility of stoving control has been improved, can effectively avoid section of thick bamboo wall department load thing to be dried excessively and the condition emergence of the load thing stoving non-setting at inner tube middle part, the stoving effect has been improved.
