TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of household appliances, and
in particular, to a water supply control method and apparatus, a clothing treatment
device, and a storage medium.
BACKGROUND ART
[0003] After the clothing treatment device performs a drying treatment on clothing, lint
may be generated. To address this, a filter screen may be disposed in the air outlet
channel that enables the drying assembly to be in communication with a clothing accommodating
apparatus. In this way, during the drying treatment process, the airflow introduced
from the clothing accommodating apparatus enters the drying assembly after passing
through the air outlet channel, and impurities such as the lint carried by the airflow
can be collected by the filter screen.
[0004] However, if the lint still remains on the filter screen after the drying treatment,
the ventilation performance of the filter screen may be affected in the subsequent
clothing treatment process, thereby affecting the drying effect.
[0005] Therefore, how to remove the lint generated by the drying treatment on the filter
screen in a timely manner has become an urgent technical problem to be solved at present.

according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, it should be understood that
the clothing treatment device 100 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure
may be a clothing treatment device of any type, including but not limited to, a side-loading
drum washing machine, a top-loading drum washing machine, a pulsator washing machine,
an agitator washing machine, a mini washing machine, and the like.
[0034] One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a clothing treatment device 100.
The clothing treatment device 100 includes: a clothing accommodating apparatus 101,
a clothing treatment agent box 102, a first water supply pipeline 103, a drying assembly
104, an air outlet channel 105, a filter screen 106, a second water supply pipeline
107, and a water supply control portion 108.
[0035] As shown in FIG. 1, the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 is configured to accommodate
clothing to be processed. The clothing to be treated includes, but is not limited
to, clothing to be subjected to a washing treatment, a rinsing treatment, an ironing
treatment, and a drying treatment. The clothing accommodating apparatus 101 includes,
but is not limited to, an accommodating cylinder, an accommodating basket, a drum,
and the like.
[0036] As shown in FIG. 1, the clothing treatment agent box 102 is in communication with

[0039] The first water supply pipeline 103 is in communication with the clothing accommodating
apparatus 101 through the clothing treatment agent box 102, and is configured to supply
water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101. The first water supply pipeline
103 includes one or more water supply channels. At least one water supply channel
is connected to a water inlet end of the clothing treatment agent box 102, and water
flow moves from the water inlet end of the clothing treatment agent box 102 into the
clothing treatment agent box 102 through the water supply channel, and then flows
from a water outlet end of the clothing treatment agent box 102 into the clothing
accommodating apparatus 101 in communication with the clothing treatment agent box
102. This configuration can not only supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus
101, but also flush the clothing treatment agent in the clothing treatment agent box
102 into the clothing accommodating apparatus 101, thereby facilitating the treatment
of the clothing to be treated in the clothing accommodating apparatus 101.
[0040] As shown in FIG. 2, the drying assembly 104 is in communication with the clothing
accommodating apparatus 101 and is configured to dry the airflow introduced from the
clothing accommodating apparatus. The air outlet channel 105 enables the clothing
accommodating apparatus 101 to be in communication with the drying assembly 104 to
allow the airflow to pass through.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the air outlet channel 105 is shown
in FIG. 3. The filter screen 106 is disposed in the air outlet channel 105 and is
configured to filter the airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus
and entering the drying assembly 104. A black arrow in FIG. 3 indicates an airflow
direction.
[0042] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the filter screen 106 is disposed perpendicular
to a flow direction of the airflow.
[0043] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, the filter screen
106 may be obliquely disposed relative to the flow direction of the airflow to increase
a cross-sectional area of the filter screen 106 for filtering the airflow, thereby
fully filtering out lint and impurities.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a mesh structure of the filter screen
106 is shown in FIG. 4. Certainly, the mesh structure of the filter screen 106 may
also be any structure that meets the actual filtering requirements, such as a triangular
mesh, a hexagonal mesh, or the like.
[0045] As shown in FIG. 5, the first water supply pipeline 103 is in communication with
the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the filter screen 106 and is configured
to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the filter screen
106. The second water supply pipeline 107 is in communication with the clothing accommodating
apparatus 101 through the clothing treatment agent box 102, and is configured to supply
water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the clothing treatment agent
box 102.
[0046] Certainly, the clothing treatment device 100 further includes the water supply control
portion 108. As shown in FIG. 6, the water supply control portion 108 is connected
to the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107, and
is configured to perform, when receiving a clothing treatment instruction, a water
supply control method shown in FIG. 7, to cause the first water supply pipeline 103
and the second water supply pipeline 107 to supply water.
[0047] As shown in FIG. 7, a water supply control method according to one embodiment of
the present disclosure includes the following:
[0048] In step 702, a first water supply treatment and a second water supply treatment are
performed based on the clothing treatment instruction. The first water supply treatment
is performed before and/or after the second water supply treatment, the first water
supply treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus
101 of the clothing treatment device through the first water supply pipeline 103,
and the second water supply treatment includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating
apparatus 101 through the second water supply pipeline 107.
[0049] The clothing treatment instruction is used to activate the clothing treatment device
100 to perform a clothing treatment.
[0050] Structures of the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline
107 are as described above, and thus will not be repeated herein.
[0051] In one embodiment, based on the clothing treatment instruction, the first water supply
treatment may be performed before the second water supply treatment. The first water
supply treatment is to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 of
the clothing treatment device through the first water supply pipeline 103, and the
water supplied through the first water supply pipeline 103 flows through the filter
screen 106 to flush away the lint and impurities, thereby being capable of cleaning
the filter screen 106. After the filter screen 106 is flushed through the first water
supply treatment, the second water supply treatment is performed to meet the water
supply requirement of the clothing treatment mode indicated by the clothing treatment
instruction.
[0052] In other words, before the clothing treatment is performed, the filter screen 106
is cleaned first to improve the effect of the current clothing treatment. Specifically,
cleaning the filter screen 106 can increase a ventilation area of the filter screen
106, and improve the ventilation performance of the filter screen 106 during the execution
of the clothing treatment instruction, thereby facilitating the improvement of the
drying effect.
[0053] In another embodiment, based on the clothing treatment instruction, the second water
supply treatment may be performed before the first water supply treatment. After the
second water supply treatment is performed to meet the water supply requirement of
the clothing treatment mode indicated by the clothing treatment instruction, the first
water supply treatment is performed; that is, water is supplied to the clothing accommodating
apparatus 101 of the clothing treatment device through the first water supply pipeline
103. In this case, the water supplied through the first water supply pipeline 103
flows through the filter screen 106 to flush away the lint and impurities, thereby
being capable of cleaning the filter screen 106.
[0054] In other words, after the clothing treatment is performed, the filter screen 106
is cleaned again to prevent the existing lint on the filter screen 106 from affecting
the effect of the next and all subsequent clothing treatments. Cleaning the filter
screen 106 can increase the ventilation area of the filter screen 106, and improve
the ventilation performance of the filter screen 106, thereby facilitating the improvement
of the drying effect.
[0055] In yet another embodiment, based on the clothing treatment instruction, the first
water supply treatment may be performed first to clean the filter screen 106 first,
thereby improving the effect of the current clothing treatment. Then, the second water
supply treatment is performed again, and the first water supply treatment is performed
again after the second water supply treatment is performed, so as to clean the filter
screen 106 again after the clothing treatment, thereby preventing the existing lint
on the filter screen 106 from affecting the effect of the next and all subsequent
clothing treatments.
[0056] In the above technical solution, the filter screen 106 is cleaned before the water
supply required for the clothing treatment, so as to improve the effect of the current
clothing treatment; the filter screen 106 is cleaned again after the water supply
required for the clothing treatment, so as to improve the effect of the next and all
subsequent clothing treatments; and the filter screen 106 is cleaned both before and
after the water supply required for the clothing treatment, so that the ventilation
area of the filter screen can be improved, and the drying effect during the clothing
treatment can be improved.
[0057] FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a water supply control method according to another embodiment
of the present disclosure.
[0058] As shown in FIG. 8, the water supply control method according to another embodiment
of the present disclosure includes:
[0059] In step 802, a first clothing treatment mode is acquired based on the clothing treatment
instruction. The first clothing treatment mode is a second clothing treatment mode
indicated by the clothing treatment instruction or a third clothing treatment mode
operated prior to the operation of the second clothing treatment mode.
[0060] In other words, the second clothing treatment mode is a clothing treatment mode required
to be operated for the current clothing treatment, and the third clothing treatment
mode is a clothing treatment mode operated for a historical clothing treatment that
has been performed.
[0061] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third clothing treatment mode is
a previous clothing treatment mode adjacent to the second clothing treatment mode.
[0062] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third clothing treatment mode includes
at least one clothing treatment mode from clothing treatment modes operated for historical
clothing treatments that have been performed.
[0063] When the first clothing treatment mode is a designated mode, the method enters step
804, and when the first clothing treatment mode is not the designated mode, the method
enters step 806.
[0064] The designated mode is a clothing treatment mode including the drying treatment.
[0065] When the first clothing treatment mode includes the drying treatment, the airflow
introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 during a drying treatment
process carries the lint and impurities. When the airflow passes through the filter
screen 106, the lint and impurities are filtered by the filter screen 106 and remain
on the filter screen 106. That is, the first clothing treatment mode causes the filter
screen 106 to retain the lint and impurities, consequently affecting the effect of
the subsequent clothing treatment.
[0066] Therefore, once the first clothing treatment mode includes the drying treatment,
the filter screen 106 needs to be cleaned before and/or after the first clothing treatment
mode is operated, so as to prevent the lint and impurities from affecting the subsequent
clothing treatment effect after the first clothing treatment mode is operated.
[0067] In step 804, in response to determining to operate the second clothing treatment
mode, the first water supply treatment and the second water supply treatment are performed.
The first water supply treatment is performed before and/or after the second water
supply treatment, the first water supply treatment includes supplying water to the
clothing accommodating apparatus 101 of the clothing treatment device through the
first water supply pipeline 103, and the second water supply treatment includes supplying
water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the second water supply
pipeline 107.
[0068] The first water supply treatment is used for cleaning the filter screen 106, and
the second water supply treatment is used for supplying water for the clothing treatment
in the second clothing treatment mode.
[0069] In step 806, the second water supply treatment is performed.
[0070] Certainly, when the first clothing treatment mode is not the designated mode, that
is, the first clothing treatment mode does not include the drying treatment, there
is no need to clean the filter screen 106 through the first water supply treatment,
and the second water supply treatment is directly performed to supply water for the
clothing treatment in the second clothing treatment mode.
[0071] According to the above technical solution, after the clothing treatment mode including
the drying treatment is operated, the first water supply treatment may be triggered
to clean the filter screen 106, which improves the cleanliness of the filter screen
106 and is beneficial to improving the clothing treatment effect.
[0072] FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a water supply control method according to yet another embodiment
of the present disclosure.
[0073] As shown in FIG. 9, the water supply control method according to yet another embodiment
of the present disclosure includes:
[0074] In step 902, the first water supply treatment is performed based on the clothing
treatment instruction.
[0075] In step 904, a first drainage treatment and/or a second drainage treatment is performed
in an initial drainage stage.
[0076] Specifically, after the first water supply treatment is performed to clean the filter
screen 106, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment or the water for
cleaning the filter screen 106 also needs to be discharged, so as to prevent the water
for cleaning the filter screen 106 from affecting the amount of water in the subsequent
clothing treatment process, thereby reducing the impact of flushing the filter screen
106 on the subsequent clothing treatment effect.
[0077] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first drainage treatment includes
discharging the water supplied by the first water supply treatment through a first
drainage pipeline. A first end of the first drainage pipeline is in communication
with the first water supply pipeline 103 through the filter screen 106, and a second
end of the first drainage pipeline is in communication with the outside world.
[0078] The outside world includes, but is not limited to, a sewer pipe, a water collection
apparatus, and the like outside the clothing treatment device 100, and includes, but
is not limited to, any object outside the clothing treatment device 100 that is capable
of accommodating the water discharged by the clothing treatment device 100.
[0079] The first drainage pipeline makes the filter screen 106 in communication with the
outside world. The drainage thereof is equivalent to directly discharging the water
used for flushing the filter screen 106 out of the clothing treatment device 100 through
the air outlet channel 105, so as to prevent the water from being retained in other
components of the clothing treatment device 100 during the discharging process, which
affects the subsequent clothing treatment effect.
[0080] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage duration of the first drainage
treatment is set to be a first preset duration.
[0081] Optionally, the first preset duration is set to be 10 s, 15 s, 18 s, or 20 s. Certainly,
the first preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement,
and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.
[0082] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the second drainage treatment includes
discharging the water supplied by the first water supply treatment through a second
drainage pipeline, the first water supply pipeline 103 is in communication with the
clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the filter screen 106, a first end of
the second drainage pipeline is in communication with the clothing accommodating apparatus
101, and a second end of the second drainage pipeline is in communication with the
outside world.
[0083] The second drainage pipeline enables the filter screen 106 to be in communication
with the outside world through the clothing accommodating apparatus 101; that is,
the water used for flushing the filter screen 106 is discharged into the clothing
accommodating apparatus 101 through the air outlet channel 105, and then discharged
out of the clothing treatment device 100 through a drainage outlet of the clothing
accommodating apparatus 101. In this way, the water supplied by the first water supply
treatment can not only clean the filter screen 106, but also clean the clothing accommodating
apparatus 101 when the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 is vacant, thereby improving
the overall cleaning effect of the first water supply treatment on the clothing treatment
device 100. Meanwhile, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment is discharged
out of the clothing treatment device 100 through the drainage outlet of the clothing
accommodating apparatus 101, so that there is no need to additionally dispose a communication
port to the outside world in the air outlet channel 105. This structure allows the
airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 to enter the drying
assembly 104 through the air outlet channel 105 more smoothly, thereby improving the
drying effect and enhancing the practicability of the clothing treatment mode including
the drying treatment.
[0084] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage duration of the second drainage
treatment is set to be a second preset duration.
[0085] Optionally, the second preset duration is set to be 10 s, 15 s, 18 s, or 20 s. Certainly,
the second preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage
requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.
[0086] In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a water supply duration
of the first water supply treatment may also be set to be a third preset duration.
The third preset duration is less than a drainage duration of the initial drainage
stage. In this way, after water is supplied through the first water supply treatment
for the third preset duration, the drainage duration greater than the third preset
duration allows the water after cleaning the filter screen 106 to be completely discharged
as much as possible, so as to prevent the insufficient drainage duration from causing
the water after cleaning the filter screen 106 to remain in the clothing treatment
device 100, which affects the clothing treatment effect.
[0087] Optionally, if the first preset duration and/or the second preset duration is 15
s, the third preset duration may be set to be 10 s.
[0088] Optionally, if the first preset duration is 15 s and the second preset duration is
12 s, the third preset duration may be set to be 10 s.
[0089] Certainly, the third preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual
drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.
[0090] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a third drainage treatment and a fourth
drainage treatment may be performed simultaneously or sequentially to improve the
drainage speed and drainage amount.
[0091] In step 906, the second water supply treatment is performed.
[0092] FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a water supply control method according to still another
embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0093] As shown in FIG. 10, the water supply control method according to still another embodiment
of the present disclosure includes:
[0094] In step 1002, the second water supply treatment is performed based on the clothing
treatment instruction to meet a water supply requirement of the clothing treatment
mode indicated by the clothing treatment instruction.
[0095] Step 1004, in response to determining that the second water supply treatment is completed,
the first water supply treatment is performed to flush the filter screen 106.
[0096] In step 1006, the third drainage treatment and/or the fourth drainage treatment is
performed in the final drainage stage.
[0097] Specifically, after the first water supply treatment is performed to clean the filter
screen 106, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment or the water for
cleaning the filter screen 106 also needs to be discharged, so as to prevent the water
for cleaning the filter screen 106 from affecting the amount of water in the subsequent
clothing treatment process, thereby reducing the impact of flushing the filter screen
106 on the subsequent clothing treatment effect.
[0098] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third drainage treatment includes
discharging the water supplied by the first water supply treatment through the first
drainage pipeline, the first end of the first drainage pipeline is in communication
with the first water supply pipeline 103 through the filter screen 106, and the second
end of the first drainage pipeline is in communication with the outside world.
[0099] The outside world includes, but is not limited to, a sewer pipe, a water collection
apparatus, and the like outside the clothing treatment device 100, and includes, but
is not limited to, any object outside the clothing treatment device 100 that is capable
of accommodating the water discharged by the clothing treatment device 100.
[0100] The first drainage pipeline makes the filter screen 106 in communication with the
outside world. The drainage thereof is equivalent to directly discharging the water
used for flushing the filter screen 106 out of the clothing treatment device 100 through
the air outlet channel 105, so as to prevent the water from being retained in other
components of the clothing treatment device 100 during the discharging process, which
affects the subsequent clothing treatment effect.
[0101] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage duration of the third drainage
treatment is set to be a fifth preset duration.
[0102] Optionally, the fifth preset duration is set to be 10 s, 15 s, 18 s, or 20 s. Certainly,
the fifth preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement,
and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.
[0103] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the fourth drainage treatment includes
discharging the water supplied by the first water supply treatment through the second
drainage pipeline, the first water supply pipeline 103 is in communication with the
clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the filter screen 106, the first end
of the second drainage pipeline is in communication with the clothing accommodating
apparatus 101, and the second end of the second drainage pipeline is in communication
with the outside world.
[0104] The second drainage pipeline enables the filter screen 106 to be in communication
with the outside world through the clothing accommodating apparatus 101; that is,
the water used for flushing the filter screen 106 is discharged into the clothing
accommodating apparatus 101 through the air outlet channel 105, and then discharged
out of the clothing treatment device 100 through a drainage outlet of the clothing
accommodating apparatus 101. In this way, the water supplied by the first water supply
treatment can not only clean the filter screen 106, but also clean the clothing accommodating
apparatus 101 when the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 is vacant, thereby improving
the overall cleaning effect of the first water supply treatment on the clothing treatment
device 100. Meanwhile, the water supplied by the first water supply treatment is discharged
out of the clothing treatment device 100 through the drainage outlet of the clothing
accommodating apparatus 101, so that there is no need to additionally dispose a communication
port to the outside world in the air outlet channel 105. This structure allows the
airflow introduced from the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 to enter the drying
assembly 104 through the air outlet channel 105 more smoothly, thereby improving the
drying effect and enhancing the practicability of the clothing treatment mode including
the drying treatment.
[0105] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage duration of the fourth drainage
treatment is set to be a sixth preset duration.
[0106] Optionally, the sixth preset duration is set to be 10 s, 15 s, 18 s, or 20 s. Certainly,
the sixth preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual drainage requirement,
and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.
[0107] In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the water supply duration
of the first water supply treatment may also be set to be a seventh preset duration.
The seventh preset duration is less than a drainage duration of the final drainage
stage. In this way, after water is supplied through the first water supply treatment
for the seventh preset duration, the drainage duration greater than the seventh preset
duration allows the water after cleaning the filter screen 106 to be completely discharged
as much as possible, so as to prevent the insufficient drainage duration from causing
the water after cleaning the filter screen 106 to remain in the clothing treatment
device 100, which affects the clothing treatment effect.
[0108] Optionally, if the fifth preset duration and/or the sixth preset duration is 15 s,
the seventh preset duration may be set to be 10 s.
[0109] Optionally, if the fifth preset duration is 15 s and the sixth preset duration is
12 s, the seventh preset duration may be set to be 10 s.
[0110] Certainly, the seventh preset duration may be any time interval that meets an actual
drainage requirement, and is not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure.
[0111] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second water supply treatment further
includes supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the first
water supply pipeline 103.
[0112] On this basis, if the first water supply treatment is performed before the second
water supply treatment, cleaning the filter screen 106 by the first water supply treatment
can not only increase the ventilation area of the filter screen 106, but also increase
a water flow area of the filter screen 106, thereby providing better water supply
performance for the operation of supplying water through the first water supply pipeline
103 via the filter screen during the second water supply treatment.
[0113] If the first water supply treatment is performed after the second water supply treatment,
cleaning the filter screen 106 by the first water supply treatment can not only increase
the ventilation area of the filter screen 106, but also increase the water flow area
of the filter screen 106, so that the first water supply pipeline 103 can provide
better water supply performance for the subsequent clothing treatment, thereby improving
the clothing treatment effect.
[0114] FIG. 11 is a flowchart of a second water supply treatment according to one embodiment
of the present disclosure.
[0115] As shown in FIG. 11, a flow of the second water supply treatment according to one
embodiment of the present disclosure includes:
[0116] In step 1102, a first water supply sub-treatment is performed in a first water supply
stage of the second water supply treatment. The first water supply sub-treatment includes
supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through the first water
supply pipeline 103.
[0117] In step 1104, a second water supply sub-treatment is performed in a second water
supply stage of the second water supply treatment. The second water supply stage occurs
after the first water supply stage, and the second water supply sub-treatment includes
supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 only through the second
water supply pipeline 107.
[0118] The water supply control portion 108 controls the first water supply pipeline 103
to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 during the first water
supply stage of a second water supply treatment process, and controls the second water
supply pipeline 107 to supply water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 during
the second water supply stage of the second water supply treatment process.
[0119] When the second water supply pipeline 107 supplies water to the clothing accommodating
apparatus 101, the water flow passes through the filter screen 106 to flush away the
lint and impurities. The applicant found through testing that after the water flow
passes through the filter screen 106, a water film easily forms on a surface of the
filter screen 106, which affects the drying performance. When the drying assembly
104 performs the drying treatment through the circulating airflow, the presence of
the water film reduces the ventilation area of the filter screen 106, resulting in
a reduction in the circulating airflow passing through the filter screen 106. Meanwhile,
a portion of the airflow blocked by the water film accumulates heat, leading to an
increase in the local temperature of the clothing treatment device 100, thereby affecting
the safe operation and service life of local components. In addition, the circulating
airflow is blocked by the water film, which may also cause high load and high temperature
of a fan in the drying assembly 104, thereby affecting the safe operation and service
life of the fan.
[0120] To address this, in the first water supply stage, water is supplied to the clothing
accommodating apparatus 101 through the first water supply pipeline 103, and the water
flow passes through the filter screen 106, so that the lint and impurities on the
filter screen 106 can be effectively cleaned. Next, before the drying assembly 104
performs the drying treatment, if no water is supplied to the clothing accommodating
apparatus 101 through the second water supply pipeline 107, no water flow passes through
the filter screen 106. In this way, the filter screen 106 does not form a water film,
the ventilation area of the filter screen 106 remains unchanged, and the circulating
airflow passes through the filter screen 106 normally, so that the drying effect is
not affected.
[0121] Therefore, a water supply process of the clothing treatment device 100 is divided
into the first water supply stage and the second water supply stage. The first water
supply stage is earlier than the second water supply stage. The interval between the
first water supply stage and the drying treatment is longer than that between the
second water supply stage and the drying treatment. In one embodiment, the second
water supply stage is a final water supply stage before the drying treatment.
[0122] Specifically, the time from the first water supply stage to the drying treatment
is longer, and even if a water film is formed, the water film may break in a short
time, which does not affect the passage of the circulating airflow after a long period
of time, and thus does not adversely affect the drying effect.
[0123] The time from the second water supply stage to the drying treatment is short. If
water is still supplied through the first water supply pipeline 103, a water film
is formed on the filter screen 106, and the water film still exists when the circulating
airflow passes through. Therefore, in the second drying stage, water is supplied only
through the second water supply pipeline 107. The water flow of the second water supply
pipeline 107 does not flow through the filter screen 106, the filter screen 106 no
longer generates a water film, and the circulating airflow can pass through the filter
screen 106 without interference, so that the drying effect is not affected.
[0124] After the filter screen 106 is cleaned in the first water supply stage, the surface
of the filter screen 106 may still have the possibility of forming a water film due
to the relatively closed environment inside the clothing treatment device 100. To
address this, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is detected that
the filter screen 106 is seriously blocked, the second water supply pipeline 107 may
be activated to flush the filter screen 106.
[0125] According to the above technical solution, the filter screen 106 is effectively cleaned
in the first water supply stage, and in the second water supply stage, that is, the
final water supply stage before drying, the first water supply pipeline 103 passing
through the filter screen 106 is not used for supplying water, and the second water
supply pipeline 107 not passing through the filter screen 106 is used for supplying
water, so as to prevent the formation of a water film when the water flow passes through
the filter screen 106. This not only achieves effective cleaning of the filter screen
106 and protects the drying effect against the influence of the water film, but also
maintains the safe operation of a plurality of components including the fan, thereby
prolonging the service life of the plurality of components.
[0126] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in the first water supply stage, a ratio
of a total water supply duration of the second water supply pipeline 107 to a total
water supply duration of the first water supply pipeline 103 is greater than or equal
to zero.
[0127] In some actual clothing treatment scenarios where the clothing treatment agent is
not required to be used, only the first water supply pipeline 103 is used to supply
water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 during the first water supply stage.
In this case, the ratio of the total water supply duration of the second water supply
pipeline 107 to the total water supply duration of the first water supply pipeline
103 is zero.
[0128] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first water supply sub-treatment
further includes: supplying water to the clothing accommodating apparatus 101 through
the second water supply pipeline 107.
[0129] Specifically, to ensure that the amount of water supplied is sufficient, and/or when
the clothing treatment agent is required in the clothing treatment, the first water
supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 are enabled to jointly
supply water during the execution of the clothing treatment mode indicated by the
clothing treatment. In this case, the ratio of the total water supply duration of
the second water supply pipeline 107 to the total water supply duration of the first
water supply pipeline 103 is greater than zero.
[0130] It should be noted that the ways in which the first water supply pipeline 103 and
the second water supply pipeline 107 jointly supply water include: the first water
supply pipeline 103 supplies water first, and the second water supply pipeline 107
supplies water later; the second water supply pipeline 107 supplies water first, and
the first water supply pipeline 103 supplies water later; the first water supply pipeline
103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 supply water simultaneously; and the
first water supply pipeline 103 and/or the second water supply pipeline 107 supplies
water separately, and the first water supply pipeline 103 and the second water supply
pipeline 107 may also supply water simultaneously, and the like.
[0131] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the first water supply stage
includes an initial rinsing stage, and a ratio of the total water supply duration
of the second water supply pipeline 107 in the initial rinsing stage to the total
water supply duration of the first water supply pipeline 103 in the initial rinsing
stage is greater than or equal to zero.
[0132] If the ratio is zero, it indicates that only the first water supply pipeline 103
is used for supplying water in the initial rinsing stage.
[0133] If the ratio is greater than zero, it indicates that both the first water supply
pipeline 103 and the second water supply pipeline 107 can be used for supplying water
in the initial rinsing stage.
[0134] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step that the second water supply
sub-treatment is performed includes: when entering a final rinsing stage of the second
water supply stage, the second water supply pipeline 107 is activated to supply water;
and the water supply through the second water supply pipeline 107 is stopped when
the water supply amount in the final rinsing stage reaches a designated amount or
the water supply duration in the final rinsing stage reaches the fourth preset duration.
[0135] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the designated amount is 2 L, and the
fourth preset duration is 35 s. Certainly, the designated amount and the fourth preset
duration may be any value set according to actual clothing treatment needs, and are
not limited to the above example.
[0136] The final rinsing stage is a final water supply stage before the drying treatment.
In the final rinsing stage, the first water supply pipeline 103 is not used for supplying
water, and the second water supply pipeline 107 is used for supplying water, so as
to prevent the formation of a water film when the water flow passes through the filter
screen 106. The designated amount refers to the amount of water required for normal
operation of the clothing treatment device in the final rinsing stage, and the fourth
preset duration refers to the water input duration required for the clothing treatment
device to obtain the amount of water required for the normal operation in the final
rinsing stage. When the current water supply amount reaches the designated amount
or the water supply duration reaches the fourth preset duration, it indicates that
the amount of water required for final rinsing is sufficient, and the water supply
through the second water supply pipeline 107 can be stopped.
