In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating the examples of the present application.

Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-otherwise inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "include..." do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0046] As described in the background technology section, usually, there are a large number of clothes that need to be folded and packed in clothing factories, and manual folding will be time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, a clothing folding device is usually used to fold each piece of clothing. However, in the process of folding clothes, existing clothing folding devices fold shirts, T-shirts and pants in a uniform manner, resulting in poor clothing folding effect, prone to wrinkles and deformation, and thus affecting the appearance of the clothes.

[0047] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present application adopts different folding strategies according to different clothing types and materials, which can ensure that each piece of clothing can receive the most appropriate folding treatment, avoiding problems such as clothing wrinkles and deformation caused by uniform treatment in traditional folding methods, and protecting the texture and appearance of the clothing.

[0048] Based on this, the present application provides a clothing folding method, device, equipment and computer storage medium. The clothing folding method provided in the embodiment of the present application is first introduced below.

[0049] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a process of a clothing folding method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, it may include the following steps:

[0051] S101, obtaining clothing appearance information and clothing material information of clothing;

[0052] S102, determining the clothing type of the clothing according to the clothing appearance information and the clothing material information;

[0053] S103, determining a target folding area corresponding to the clothing type from a correspondence between preset clothing types and preset folding areas according to the clothing type;

[0054] S104, controlling the first conveying device to convey the clothes to the target folding area;

[0055] S105, controlling the folding device to fold the clothes placed in the target folding area to obtain folded clothes.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, firstly, the present application automatically determines the type of clothing by acquiring the appearance information and material information of the clothing, and selects the appropriate folding area and folding method accordingly, thereby realizing the intelligent and automated folding of clothing. This greatly reduces the burden of manual operation and improves the folding efficiency and accuracy. Secondly, according to different clothing types and materials, different folding strategies are adopted to ensure that each piece of clothing can receive the most appropriate folding treatment, avoiding the problems of clothing wrinkles and deformation caused by uniform treatment in traditional folding methods, and protecting the texture and appearance of the clothing. Finally, by presetting the correspondence between clothing types and folding areas, the folding space can be reasonably planned so that different types of clothing can be stored in different areas in an orderly manner, which not only saves storage space but also improves space utilization.

[0057] In the above S101, the appearance information of the clothing is obtained by the image recognition device, and the clothing material information of the clothing is obtained by sending ultrasonic waves to detect the clothing by the ultrasonic sensor.

[0058] Among them, clothing may include: coverings for the torso and limbs, coverings and decorations for the hands (gloves), feet (shoes, sandals, boots) and head (hats).

[0059] As an example, clothing appearance information may include clothing size, clothing shape, etc.

[0060] As an example, clothing material information may include materials such as cotton, acrylic, and polyester.

[0061] In the above S102, the clothing type is determined by analyzing the clothing appearance information and the clothing material information. For example, the clothing type may include: jeans, woolen tops, polyester tops, etc.

[0062] In the above S103, different types of clothes require different folding methods. Different folding methods will be used to fold clothes in different preset folding areas. Therefore, the target folding area of ​​the clothes can be determined according to the type of clothes and the correspondence between the preset preset clothing types and the preset folding areas.

[0063] In the above S104, the clothes are transferred to the target folding area by the first device.

[0064] As an example, the first conveying device may include: a mechanical claw, a conveyor belt, etc.

[0065] In the above S105, the folding device disposed in the target folding area folds the clothes according to a preset folding method to obtain folded clothes.

[0066] As an example, different types of clothing have different folding methods, so the folding device will fold the clothing according to the folding method corresponding to the clothing.

[0067] In one embodiment, in order to ensure the folding effect of clothes, a clothes folding method provided by one embodiment of the present application may further include, before the above S104:

[0068] S201, obtaining the actual weight of the clothes;

[0069] S202, determining a weight difference of the clothes according to the actual weight and the preset mass corresponding to the type of clothes;

[0070] S203: When the weight difference belongs to a preset weight variation range, determining that the clothes are dehydrated clothes.

[0071] Based on the above embodiment, in the automated process of the clothing folding system, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the folding process and the optimization of the folding effect, it is necessary to ensure that the clothing to be folded is in a dehydrated state. This is because the undehydrated clothing contains a large amount of water, which not only increases the difficulty of folding, but also may cause damage to the folding device, and also affects the shape and storage effect of the folded clothing.

[0072] Therefore, before controlling the first conveying device to convey the clothes to the target folding area, a weight detection and judgment step needs to be added. Specifically, firstly, the weight of the clothes placed on the conveyor belt or the weighing platform is measured in real time by a weighing sensor or a connected external weighing device.

[0073] Secondly, according to the type of clothing (such as shirts, pants, coats, etc.), the preset weight of the corresponding type of clothing in the dehydrated state is queried from a preset database. It should be noted that the preset weight can be the product of the density and volume of the clothing measured by the ultrasonic sensor.

[0074] The actual measured weight of the laundry is compared with the preset weight and the weight difference is calculated.

[0075] Finally, a preset weight variation interval is set, which represents the reasonable weight fluctuation range of the clothes after dehydration. If the calculated weight difference (i.e., the difference between the actual weight and the preset weight) falls within the preset weight variation interval, the clothes are judged to be dehydrated clothes and suitable for subsequent folding operations.

[0076] In another embodiment, in addition to obtaining the actual weight of the clothes, sensor technology can also be used to collect other key information of the clothes, such as humidity, material fiber content, color, etc. The humidity or color is then used as a criterion for determining whether the clothes are dehydrated clothes.

[0077] In one example, the humidity value of the clothing surface measured by the humidity sensor is directly read and compared with the preset humidity threshold. If the humidity value exceeds the threshold, the clothing is preliminarily judged to be wet. Secondly, the color image of the clothing is observed using a camera sensor to determine whether there are phenomena such as color diffusion, fading, or gloss changes. These changes may be signs that the clothing is wet and washed. Finally, information such as material fiber content, humidity sensor data, and color changes are input into the machine learning algorithm for comprehensive analysis. The algorithm considers the weights and interrelationships of various factors and ultimately gives a judgment result on whether the clothing is wet.

[0078] In another embodiment, in the process of using the weight difference to determine whether the clothes are dehydrated clothes, a machine learning algorithm can also be introduced to perform intelligent analysis on the weight difference. The algorithm considers factors such as the material, brand, and season of the clothes, and dynamically adjusts the preset weight change range to make the judgment more accurate.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, after determining the weight difference of the clothing according to the actual weight and the preset mass corresponding to the clothing type, the method further includes:

[0080] When the weight difference does not belong to the preset weight change interval, determining that the clothes are undehydrated clothes;

[0081] Control the alarm device to output an alarm signal.

[0082] In this embodiment, if the weight difference is not within the preset range, the system determines that the clothes are not dehydrated clothes and need further processing, such as re-dehydration or issuing an alarm prompt.

[0083] Specifically, when it is detected that the clothes have not reached the expected dehydration state, an alarm signal will first be output through the integrated alarm device. These alarm signals may be presented in various forms, including but not limited to:

[0084] Audible alarm: The system emits a specific sound or beep to attract the user's attention.

[0085] Visual Alarm: Displays an error code, flashing lights or clear text prompts on the control panel or display, such as "Laundry is not spun, please reprocess."

[0086] Mobile notifications: If the clothing folding device supports network connection and mobile applications, notifications can also be sent through the user's smartphone to remind the user to check the status of the clothes.

[0087] In addition, if the user cannot immediately re-dry the clothes due to special reasons (such as time constraints, washing machine failure, etc.), it can also provide folding mode suggestions suitable for the un-dry clothes. For example, it includes looser folding methods, reducing the number of folding layers, or using specific folding techniques to reduce wrinkles and deformation caused by wet clothes.

[0088] In this embodiment, for the treatment of un-dehydrated clothes, the system can provide users with a comprehensive and effective solution by combining alarm signal output and personalized treatment suggestions, which not only helps to protect clothes and folding equipment, but also improves the overall user experience.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present application, the present application further provides a folding device, the folding device comprising:

[0090] A folding plate, the surface of which is provided with the target folding area, the folding plate further comprising: a first sub-folding plate and a plurality of second sub-folding plates movably connected to the first sub-folding plate;

[0091] In this embodiment, the folding plate is the core component of the entire folding device, and a target folding area is set on its surface, which is the specific location where the clothes are placed and folded. The folding plate is composed of a first sub-folding plate and a plurality of second sub-folding plates movably connected to the first sub-folding plates. This design allows the folding plate to have a certain degree of flexibility in both horizontal and vertical directions to accommodate clothes of different sizes and shapes.

[0092] The first sub-folding plate, as the base of the folding plate, provides a stable support surface to ensure that the clothes can remain flat during the folding process. The second sub-folding plate is connected to the first sub-folding plate through a hinge or other movable connecting parts, and can rotate or translate according to the control command. The number, size and arrangement of the second sub-folding plates can be customized according to specific folding requirements.

[0093] When the clothes are placed in the target folding area, the control system will issue a command to control each second sub-folding plate to rotate with the horizontal direction as the axis toward the first sub-folding plate. In this process, multiple second sub-folding plates work together to gradually push the clothes toward the first sub-folding plate and finally complete the folding.

[0094] In addition, in addition to the basic folding function, the folding device can also integrate other auxiliary functions, such as ironing, sorting and packaging, etc. These functions can be selected and configured according to the specific needs of the user to meet the usage requirements in different scenarios.

[0095] In this embodiment, the folding device and the corresponding folding method, using precise folding actions and appropriate folding strategies, help reduce wrinkles in the folding process and maintain the flatness and aesthetics of the clothes. At the same time, the mechanized folding method avoids the wear and tear that may be caused by direct contact between human hands and clothes, thus protecting the texture and color of the clothes.

[0096] In one embodiment of the present application, before controlling each of the second sub-folding plates to rotate with the horizontal direction as the axis toward the first sub-folding plate so that the clothes placed in the target folding area are folded, the method further includes:

[0097] Determining, according to the clothing type, a target folding sequence corresponding to the clothing type from a correspondence between preset clothing types and preset folding sequences;

[0098] The controlling each of the second sub-folding plates to rotate with the horizontal direction as the axis toward the first sub-folding plate so that the clothes placed in the target folding area are folded includes:

[0099] According to the target folding sequence, each of the second sub-folding plates is controlled in turn to rotate toward the first sub-folding plate with the horizontal direction as the axis, so that the clothes placed in the target folding area are folded.

[0100] In this embodiment, first, the folding device searches and determines the target folding order corresponding to the type of clothing (such as shirts, pants, T-shirts, etc.) from the preset correspondence relationship. The correspondence relationship is based on a large amount of experience in clothing folding practice and is used to ensure that each type of clothing can be folded in the best way to reduce wrinkles and damage.

[0101] The folding plate is composed of a first sub-folding plate and a plurality of second sub-folding plates, and the sub-folding plates can rotate around a horizontal axis. This design allows the folding plate to be flexibly adjusted in the horizontal direction to accommodate clothes of different sizes and shapes.

[0102] When the target folding sequence of the clothes is determined, the folding system will control each second sub-folding plate to rotate in turn according to this sequence. This sequential operation ensures the continuity and accuracy of the folding process and avoids confusion and wrinkles caused by random folding.

[0103] During the folding process, the clothes are placed on the target folding area. As the second sub-folding plates rotate in sequence, they gradually push the clothes toward the first sub-folding plates and complete the folding of the clothes in the process.

[0104] In addition, image recognition technology can be used to automatically identify the type, size and material of clothing, and dynamically adjust the folding strategy and order based on this information.

[0105] Once the type, size and material of the clothing are identified, the folding device will select the appropriate folding strategy based on the preset algorithm library. These strategies may include different folding sequences, folding angles, folding strengths, etc. to minimize wrinkles and protect clothing.

[0106] During the folding process, the system may also monitor the status of the clothes in real time through sensors, such as folding progress, wrinkles, etc., and fine-tune the folding strategy based on real-time data, so that the folding device can adapt to clothes of different types and states.

[0107] In this embodiment, by presetting the correspondence between clothing types and folding sequences, the most suitable folding method can be quickly found for different types of clothing. This targeted folding strategy avoids the problems of low efficiency and poor folding effect that may be caused by blind folding. And according to the target folding sequence, the system controls each second sub-folding plate to rotate in turn. This orderly operation method ensures the continuity and accuracy of the folding process, thereby improving the folding efficiency and consistency of the folding results.

[0108] In one embodiment of the present application, after the controlling folding device folds the clothes placed in the target folding area to obtain the folded clothes, the method further includes:

[0109] The second conveying device is controlled to convey the folded clothes to a storage area corresponding to the type of clothes, so that the folded clothes are stored in the storage area.

[0110] In this embodiment, the second conveying device is responsible for accurately conveying the folded clothes from the folding area to the designated storage area. The conveying device can be a conveyor belt, a robot arm or other automated transportation technology, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0111] Before the folded clothes are conveyed to the storage area, the type of clothes needs to be identified first and matched to the corresponding storage area. This can usually be achieved by:

[0112] Barcode / RFID tags: These tags contain information about the type of clothing, size, owner, etc. These tags can be scanned to identify the type of clothing and determine the storage area to which it should be transferred.

[0113] For clothing without tags, image recognition technology can be used to identify the type and characteristics of the clothing and determine the storage area to which it should be transferred.

[0114] As an example, taking clothing size as an example, clothing is divided into four categories according to size: XL, L, M, and L. The second conveying device conveys the clothing to respective areas according to the identified clothing information (type / size). The same type of clothing has different sizes and different folding areas.

[0115] In this embodiment, by storing different types of clothes in different categories, confusion and mixing between clothes can be avoided, and the utilization rate of storage space can be improved. Users or family members can find the required clothes more quickly, saving time and energy.

[0116] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The overall flow chart of the clothing folding method includes:

[0117] First, the user puts the clothes in the clothing delivery area;

[0118] Second, when the weight sensor determines that there are clothes in the clothes delivery area, the clothes are identified by the ultrasonic sensor and the image recognition sensor;

[0119] Third, when the recognition result is used to determine that the clothes are in an abnormal state, a warning is issued to remind the user, wherein the abnormal state is that the clothes are not dehydrated clothes or the sleeves are tangled, or the user does not place the clothes correctly;

[0120] Fourth, when the clothes are judged to be not in an abnormal state by using the recognition result, the conveying device is used to deliver the clothes to different areas according to the recognized types and sizes;

[0121] Fifth, trigger the clothes folding device to work and complete the clothes folding operation.

[0122] It should be noted that the application scenarios described in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application.
