The present invention has the following advantages and effects over the prior art:

[0056] (1) The method for controlling the safe operation of a clothes drying machine of the present invention first obtains image information of a clothes drying rod assembly through an image acquisition unit, extracts the clothes drying rod assembly information and human body information from the clothes drying rod assembly image information, and analyzes whether a human body is hung on the clothes drying rod assembly based on the relationship between the clothes drying rod assembly information and the human body information in the image. When it is analyzed that a human body is hung on the clothes drying rod assembly, the clothes drying machine is triggered to perform an operation, so as to overcome the safety problem caused by a human body hanging on the clothes drying machine, and provide safety protection for special groups such as the elderly and children at home.

[0057] (2) In the method for controlling the safe operation of a clothes drying machine of the present invention, controlling the clothes drying machine to perform an emergency operation may include controlling the clothes drying machine's drying rod assembly to descend to the lowest point, so as to minimize the damage caused by a child hanging on the drying rod assembly falling to the ground; in addition, the clothes drying machine may also be controlled to sound an alarm and / or send a prompt message to an external terminal, etc., so as to promptly notify other personnel and avoid serious consequences.

[0058] (3) In the safe operation control method of the clothes drying machine of the present invention, before obtaining the image information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly through the image acquisition unit, the steps of obtaining the weight information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly and detecting whether the change of the weight information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly within a preset time range exceeds the set value. Based on this, when the weight of the clothes drying machine rod assembly changes significantly, such as a sudden increase of several dozen kilograms in weight, it can be determined that the clothes drying machine rod assembly may have an abnormality of hanging heavy objects such as children. At this time, the image acquisition unit is started to collect the image of the clothes drying machine rod assembly for determination. Such operation can avoid the problem of power consumption waste caused by the image acquisition unit needing to be in a working state for a long time; it can also avoid the misjudgment caused by the user only placing his hand lightly on the clothes drying machine rod assembly (for example, wiping the clothes drying machine rod assembly) without hanging it.

[0059] (4) In the safe operation control method of the clothes drying machine of the present invention, when it is determined that the position of a human hand is located on the clothes drying rod assembly, it also includes the step of detecting the weight information of the clothes drying rod assembly, specifically detecting whether the weight information change of the clothes drying rod assembly within a preset time range before the current time exceeds the set value, that is, detecting whether a sudden weight change occurs at the same time in the clothes drying rod assembly. If so, it is determined that there is a human body hanging on the rod assembly. Based on this, it can also avoid the situation where the user touches the rod assembly or wipes the rod assembly with his hand and causes the false judgment that a human body is hanging on the rod assembly, thereby improving the accuracy of human hanging detection.

[0060] (5) In the method for controlling the safe operation of the clothes drying machine of the present invention, when it is determined that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the user's gesture information can be collected based on the image acquisition unit. Specifically, when facial information is detected in the image information, that is, when the user looks up, the target gesture is extracted to obtain the gesture information of the user with control awareness, so as to complete the convenient control of the clothes drying machine while avoiding the extraction of gestures of users without control awareness, that is, improving the accuracy of the control of the clothes drying machine. In addition, while detecting whether a human body is hanging based on the image collected by the image acquisition unit, the face and gesture information can also be extracted from the image synchronously. After the gesture is extracted, if it has been determined that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying machine, the clothes drying machine can be controlled based on the user's gesture. This method can further improve the control efficiency of the clothes drying machine.

[0061] (6) In the method for controlling the safe operation of the clothes drying machine of the present invention, when it is determined that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the user's palm print information can be collected based on the image acquisition unit, and then the identity of the target user can be determined based on the user's palm print information. Finally, the clothes drying machine can be controlled to perform corresponding operations based on the identity of the target user, such as controlling the clothes drying machine to descend to a corresponding height and / or turning on the lighting, etc., to adapt to the use of the target user. In addition, while detecting whether there is a human body hanging based on the image collected by the image acquisition unit, the palm print information can also be extracted from the image synchronously, and the identity of the target user can be identified based on the palm print information. If it has been determined that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying machine, the clothes drying machine can be controlled based on the user's identity. This method can further improve the control efficiency of the clothes drying machine. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0066] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings in the present application. It should be understood that the implementation methods described below in conjunction with the drawings are exemplary descriptions for explaining the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.

[0067] Example 1

[0068] At present, clothes drying machines pose certain safety hazards to special groups such as children during use. For example, children may use the clothes drying rod assembly as a single rod to climb and hang, or due to other improper operations or equipment failures, the human body may hang on the clothes drying rod assembly, causing safety problems.

[0069] Based on the problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a method for controlling safe operation of a clothes drying machine, which is applied to the clothes drying machine.

[0070] The clothes drying machine referred to in this embodiment generally includes a host and a drying rod assembly. The host is generally installed on the ceiling, and the drying rod assembly is arranged below the host through a steel wire rope or other lifting parts. The host is provided with a controller (such as a main controller MCU), a motor driver, a motor and other devices. The controller is connected to the motor through the motor driver, and the steel wire rope or the lifting part is controlled by the motor to perform lifting and lowering movements to realize the automatic lifting and lowering of the drying rod assembly. In addition, the clothes drying machine may also be equipped with functional modules such as lighting, drying, and disinfection, and the controller can issue instructions to realize the control of each functional template. In this embodiment, the drying rod assembly refers to the component used for hanging clothes on the clothes drying machine, generally including one or more clothes drying rods for drying clothes, one or more quilt drying rods for drying bedding, one or more crossbars for drying small items (underwear, socks, towels, etc.), and drying trays for drying small items.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown in , the clothes drying machine safe operation control method of this embodiment includes:

[0072] S101, obtaining image information of a clothes drying machine drying rod assembly through an image acquisition unit.

[0073] In this embodiment, the image acquisition unit can be a camera, which can be installed on the main unit of the clothes drying machine, for example, on the main unit housing, or embedded in the main unit housing. The installation position is based on the standard of being able to capture the clothes drying machine rod assembly.

[0074] In this embodiment, for the image acquisition unit that has just been installed, before obtaining the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly through the image acquisition unit, the following debugging is performed first:

[0075] The image acquisition unit is controlled to capture images, and for the captured images, it is determined whether the captured images include a complete drying rod assembly area. If not, the position and / or installation angle of the image acquisition unit needs to be adjusted until the captured images include a complete drying rod assembly area.

[0076] In this embodiment, the image acquisition unit can use a binocular camera, which includes a first camera and a second camera. The first camera and the second camera simultaneously perform image acquisition work to respectively acquire a left image and a right image. After the image acquisition unit is installed, an image acquisition area will be formed, that is, the drying rod assembly in the image acquisition area can be captured by the image acquisition unit.

[0077] Based on the binocular camera described above, this embodiment performs the following operations before starting to obtain image information of the clothes drying machine drying rod assembly:

[0078] Sa, detecting the drying rod component information based on the left image and the right image collected by the first camera and the second camera;

[0079] Sb, determine whether the left image and the right image have both extracted the complete drying rod component area;

[0080] If not, adjust the position of the image acquisition unit until both the left image and the right image extract complete area information of the drying rod assembly.

[0081] If so, it is determined that the shooting range includes the clothes drying machine rod assembly, and then image information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly is obtained based on the captured left image and right image.

[0082] S102: Extracting clothes drying rod assembly information from clothes drying rod assembly image information.

[0083] In this step, with respect to the acquired image information of the clothes drying rack assembly, the clothes drying rack assembly part in the image is determined by an image processing method. The image processing method may specifically include the steps of image preprocessing, feature extraction, target detection and recognition, and post-processing. Image preprocessing is used to improve image quality, enhance target features, and reduce computational complexity. The image preprocessing process may specifically include image denoising, feature enhancement, grayscale processing, and image segmentation processing. Feature extraction is to extract key features that can describe the clothes drying rack target from the image, including one or more of shape features, texture features, color features, and spatial features. Target detection and recognition is to locate and identify the target in the image. Specifically, template matching can be used, that is, matching a predefined target template with an area in the image. Machine learning methods such as using a classifier to classify the extracted features can also be used. Deep learning methods such as convolutional neural networks can also be used for target detection and recognition. Post-processing is to optimize the detection results and improve accuracy. Specifically, morphological operations, bounding box regression and other technologies can be used.

[0084] S103, detecting whether there is human body information in the image information of the clothes drying machine drying rod assembly.

[0085] In this step, the process of extracting human body information from the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly can be as shown in step S102. The human body can refer to any part of the human body, including hands, feet, neck, torso, etc., which is not limited here.

[0086] S104: Analyze whether a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly according to the clothes drying rod assembly information and the human body information in the clothes drying rod assembly image information.

[0087] In this step, after extracting the drying rod assembly information and human body information from the clothes drying rod assembly image information, the positional relationship between the clothes drying rod assembly and the human body is determined through the drying rod assembly information and the human body information in the image, and finally, whether there is a human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly can be determined based on the positional relationship between the drying rod assembly and the human body. In this embodiment, the position of the drying rod assembly is determined through the coordinates of the pixel points in the drying rod assembly area in the image, and the position of the human body is determined through the coordinates of the pixel points in the human body area in the image. Based on the coordinate relationship between the pixel points of the two, the positional relationship between the two can be confirmed, such as whether a certain part of the human body is located on the drying rod assembly, under the drying rod assembly, or on the side of the drying rod assembly. In this embodiment, it can be determined specifically by any one or more of the following:

[0088] a. Determine whether the human hand is located on the clothes drying rod assembly. If so, determine that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly;

[0089] b. Determine whether the head of the human body is located on the clothes drying rod assembly. If so, determine that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly;

[0090] c. determining whether the human foot is located on the clothes drying rod assembly, and if so, determining that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly;

[0091] d. determining whether the human body is located on the clothes drying rod assembly, and if so, determining that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly;

[0092] e. Determine whether the clothes on the human body are located on the clothes drying rod assembly of the clothes drying machine. If so, it is determined that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly. In this case, the clothes on the human body (such as a hat, sleeves, etc.) are hooked by the hook component on the clothes drying rod assembly, resulting in the human body hanging.

[0093] S105: If it is determined in step S104 that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the clothes drying machine is controlled to perform an emergency operation, otherwise the process returns to step S101; the emergency operation performed by the clothes drying machine in this step includes any one or more of the following:

[0094] a. Control the clothes drying rod assembly to descend to the lowest point so that the rod assembly is closest to the ground, which is convenient for the person hanging on the rod assembly to land on his own and can also reduce the falling height as much as possible to avoid serious injury.

[0095] b. Control the alarm device of the clothes drying machine to send out an alarm message. Specifically, an alarm device, such as an audible and visual alarm, can be installed on the clothes drying machine to remind other personnel to rescue the hanging person in time.

[0096] c. Push reminder information to external terminals. When the clothes drying machine is connected to the Internet, it can send reminder information to external terminals through the cloud. For example, the external terminal is a designated user's mobile phone. Push reminder information can enable relevant personnel to find it in time to avoid the situation where no one is around and cannot be rescued in time.

[0097] In this embodiment, if the image acquisition unit, such as a camera, is only used to capture images of the clothes drying rod assembly area without any other purpose, the image acquisition unit may be activated only when a human body may be hung on the clothes drying rod assembly. In this case, before obtaining the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly through the image acquisition unit, the following may also be included:

[0098] S01, obtaining weight information of the clothes drying rod assembly; the weight information of the clothes drying rod assembly can be obtained by a weighing unit arranged on the clothes drying rod assembly;

[0099] S02, detecting whether the weight information change of the clothes drying rod assembly within a first preset time range exceeds a first set value;

[0100] If so, the image acquisition unit is controlled to acquire image information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly; that is, when an abnormal situation of obvious weight change of the clothes drying machine rod assembly is detected, the image acquisition unit is started to acquire the image of the clothes drying machine rod assembly, and accurate confirmation is performed through the image acquisition unit.

[0101] If not, the image acquisition unit remains in standby mode; that is, when there is no obvious weight change in the clothes drying rod assembly within a preset time range, that is, it is impossible for someone to hang on the clothes drying rod assembly, the image acquisition unit can be disabled for image acquisition to save power consumption of the image acquisition unit.

[0102] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned first preset time range can be 0 to 3 seconds, and the first setting value can be 7.5 to 10 kg; it can also be appropriately adjusted according to actual usage. For families with young children, the first setting value can be relatively lowered to improve the detection sensitivity; and for families with only older children, the first setting value can be relatively higher to avoid some false triggering.

[0103] In this embodiment, the accuracy of detecting a person hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly can also be improved by the following methods. Specifically, when it is determined that the position of the human hand is located on the clothes drying rod assembly, the following steps are performed:

[0104] Sa1. Obtain weight information of a clothes drying machine drying rod assembly.

[0105] Sb1, based on the current time, detecting whether the weight information change of the clothes drying machine drying rod assembly within a second preset time range exceeds a second set value;

[0106] If yes, it is determined that a human body is hanging on the drying rod assembly;

[0107] If not, it is determined that there is no human body hanging on the drying rod assembly.

[0108] In this embodiment, the second preset time range can be 0 to 3 seconds, and the second set value can be 7.5 to 10 kg; assuming that the current time t is when this step determines that there is a human hand on the clothes drying rod assembly, and the second preset time range is 2 seconds, then it can be detected whether there is a change in the weight information of the clothes drying rod assembly that exceeds the second set value within 2 seconds before t, or whether there is a change in the weight information of the clothes drying rod assembly that exceeds the second set value within 2 seconds within the time range of 3 seconds before and after t (6 seconds period), and if so, it is determined that someone is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly by hand. Based on this, when a human hand is detected on the clothes drying rod assembly, the change in the weight information on the clothes drying rod assembly is used to determine whether someone is actually hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, so as to avoid the situation where the user only wipes or places his hand on the clothes drying rod assembly for other reasons, which may be mistaken for a human body hanging.

[0109] like Figure 2 As shown, the implementation process of the above-mentioned clothes drying machine safe operation control method of this embodiment is specifically exemplified below:

[0110] S1. After the image acquisition unit is installed, first obtain the image information acquired by the image acquisition unit to determine whether the image information can capture the complete area of ​​the drying rod assembly. If so, proceed to step S2; if not, adjust the position of the image acquisition unit until the complete area of ​​the drying rod assembly can be captured.

[0111] S2, obtaining the weight information of the clothes drying rod assembly through the weight detection unit, and detecting whether the weight information change of the clothes drying rod assembly exceeds the set value (7.5 kg) within a preset time range (for example, within 3 seconds);

[0112] If yes, the image acquisition unit (camera) is controlled to acquire image information of the clothes drying rod assembly; then the process goes to step S3;

[0113] If not, the image acquisition unit is kept in standby mode.

[0114] S3. Obtain image information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly acquired by the image acquisition unit. In this embodiment, the image acquisition unit may be a camera, which may be directly mounted on the clothes drying machine host. In this case, the image information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly may be acquired by connecting the image acquisition unit to the main controller on the clothes drying machine host; the camera may also be mounted in a position where the clothes drying machine rod assembly can be photographed in the clothes drying machine installation area. In this case, the main controller on the clothes drying machine host may acquire the image information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly acquired by the image acquisition unit by wireless communication, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0115] S4, extracting the clothes drying rod assembly information from the clothes drying rod assembly image information.

[0116] In this step, the pixel area of ​​the clothes drying rod assembly is extracted from the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly by image processing to obtain the clothes drying rod assembly information.

[0117] S5, detecting whether there is human body information in the image information of the clothes drying machine drying rod assembly;

[0118] If yes, go to step S6;

[0119] If not, return to step S2

[0120] In this step, the human body area is extracted from the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly by image processing to obtain the human body information.

[0121] S6, analyzing whether a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly according to the clothes drying rod assembly information and the human body information in the clothes drying rod assembly image information;

[0122] If yes, go to step S7;

[0123] If not, return to step S2;

[0124] In this step, the positional relationship between the clothes drying rod assembly area and the human body area in the clothes drying rod assembly image is analyzed to determine whether relevant parts of the human body, such as hands, feet, neck, torso, etc., are located above the clothes drying rod assembly. If so, it can be determined that there is a human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly.

[0125] S7: If there is a human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly of the clothes drying machine, control the clothes drying machine to perform emergency operation; if not, return to step S2.

[0126] In this step, if it is determined that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the first thing to do is to control the clothes drying machine to descend to the lowest point. For example, when the clothes drying machine is in the process of ascending and it is determined that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the clothes drying machine is first controlled to stop ascending immediately and perform a descending operation instead until it descends to the lowest point; further, within a certain time range, such as 3 seconds, after the clothes drying rod assembly descends to the lowest point, it is determined whether the human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly disappears. If not, the alarm device can be triggered to alarm and / or a prompt message can be sent to an external terminal at the same time. Of course, the alarm device can also be triggered to alarm and / or a prompt message can be sent to an external terminal at the same time when it is determined that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly.

[0127] The above steps of this embodiment are only one of the implementation processes. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the steps in the method of this embodiment can be completed by instructing the relevant hardware through a program, and the corresponding program can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. It should be noted that although the method operation of this embodiment is described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings, this does not require or imply that these operations must be performed in this specific order, or that all the operations shown must be performed to achieve the desired result. On the contrary, the steps depicted can change the order of execution, some steps can also be performed simultaneously, additionally or alternatively, some steps can be omitted, multiple steps can be combined into one step for execution, and / or one step can be decomposed into multiple steps for execution. For example, the above steps S01~S02 and Sa1~Sb1 can only select one of the steps to be executed, or both sets of steps can be omitted, or even both sets of steps can be executed, which can be selected according to practical use requirements.

[0128] In summary, the method for safe operation of the clothes drying machine in this embodiment mainly determines whether there is a human body hanging on the clothes drying machine rod assembly through the image acquisition unit. When it is determined that there is a human body hanging on the rod assembly, the clothes drying machine is triggered to perform emergency operations, including descending to the lowest point, sending alarm information, and pushing prompt information, etc., so as to overcome the safety problems caused by human bodies hanging on the clothes drying machine and provide safety protection for special groups such as the elderly and children at home. Furthermore, in order to improve the accuracy of the determination of the human body hanging on the clothes drying machine rod assembly, the method in this embodiment can add a step of determining the weight information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly to avoid false detection.

[0129] This embodiment 2

[0130] This embodiment discloses a method for controlling the safe operation of a clothes drying machine. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, not only is it determined whether a human body is hung on the clothes drying machine based on the image captured by the image acquisition unit, but further, the user's face, gestures, palm prints and other information are recognized based on the image captured by the image acquisition unit, so as to achieve further control of the clothes drying machine; the details are as follows:

[0131] X101, when the system is powered on, the image acquisition unit is controlled to enter the working state.

[0132] X102. Obtain information collected by the image acquisition unit. In this embodiment, after the image acquisition unit is installed, it can collect image information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly area, and can also collect image information of the clothes drying machine drying area. That is, the image collected by the image acquisition unit includes both the image information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly and the image information of the drying area.

[0133] X103. Extract the clothes drying rod assembly information from the clothes drying rod assembly image information. In this embodiment, the method for extracting the clothes drying rod assembly information can be as shown in step S102 in embodiment 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0134] X104. Detect whether there is any human body information in the image information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly; in this embodiment, the image information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly collected by the image acquisition unit can be detected periodically (for example, every 10 seconds) to determine whether there is any human body information. The image information of the clothes drying machine rod assembly collected by the image acquisition unit can also be detected when the corresponding trigger conditions are met (for example, when a detection instruction from an external terminal or a specific key / button is received). The specific settings are made according to actual needs.

[0135] In this embodiment, as shown in step S103, the human body may refer to any part of the human body, including hands, feet, neck, torso, etc., which is not limited here.

[0136] X105, after the human body information is detected in step X104, analyzing whether a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly according to the clothes drying rod assembly information and the human body information in the clothes drying rod assembly image information;

[0137] If so, the clothes drying machine is controlled to perform emergency operations, including controlling the clothes drying rod assembly to drop to the lowest point, sending an alarm message, and pushing a prompt message to a designated appearance terminal.

[0138] Among them, as in step S104 in embodiment 1, when any one or several parts such as hands, feet, neck, torso, etc. are located on the clothes-drying rod assembly, it can be determined that a human body is hanging on the clothes-drying rod assembly.

[0139] In this embodiment, further, the accuracy of detecting a person hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly can be improved by the following methods. Specifically, when it is determined that the hand of a person is located on the clothes drying rod assembly, the following steps are performed:

[0140] Xa1. Obtaining weight information of the clothes drying rod assembly. The weight information of the clothes drying rod assembly may be obtained by a weighing unit disposed on the clothes drying rod assembly.

[0141] Xb1. Based on the current time, detect whether the weight information change of the clothes drying rod assembly exceeds the set value within a preset time range;

[0142] If yes, it is determined that a human body is hanging on the drying rod assembly;

[0143] If not, it is determined that there is no human body hanging on the drying rod assembly.

[0144] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned preset time range can be 0 to 3 seconds, and the set value can be 7.5 to 10 kg; assuming that this step determines that there is a human hand on the clothes drying machine rod assembly as the current time t, and the preset time range is 2 seconds, then it can be detected whether there is a change in the weight information of the rod assembly exceeding the set value within 2 seconds before t, or whether there is a change in the weight information of the rod assembly exceeding the set value within 2 seconds within the time range of 3 seconds before and after t (time period of 6 seconds). If so, it is determined that someone is hanging on the clothes drying machine rod assembly with his hand. If not, it is determined that no one is hanging on the clothes drying machine rod assembly, and the user may just place his hand on the clothes drying machine rod assembly.

[0145] In this embodiment, after the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly collected by the image acquisition unit is obtained, gesture control of the clothes drying machine can also be implemented through the following steps:

[0146] Y1. Detect whether there is face information based on the image information of the clothes drying machine rod component;

[0147] If yes, the target gesture is extracted from the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly, and the gesture action is recognized according to the extracted target gesture.

[0148] In this embodiment, a gesture recognition model can be trained based on a neural network. Specifically, multiple groups of gesture features can be obtained, and each group of gesture features can be labeled. The label corresponds to a specific gesture action, and a certain number of training samples are obtained. A neural network model (such as a convolutional neural network model) constructed based on the training samples is trained to obtain a gesture recognition model. In this step, the gesture features extracted from the image information are input into the gesture recognition model, and the gesture actions are classified and recognized by the gesture recognition model. The gesture actions may include raising one or more fingers, making a fist, OK gesture, stretching out the palm, etc. The gesture actions to be recognized can be selected according to the actual control requirements.

[0149] Y2. When a gesture action is recognized, if it is determined that no human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the clothes drying machine is controlled to perform a corresponding function according to the recognized gesture action.

[0150] In this embodiment, different gestures can be configured with different functions of the clothes drying machine. For example, the first gesture "stretch out your palm" is configured with a function of raising the clothes drying rod assembly, the second gesture "raise one pole" is configured with a function of lowering the clothes drying rod assembly, the third gesture "make a fist" is configured with a function of turning on the clothes drying machine lighting, the fourth gesture "OK gesture" is configured with a function of turning off the clothes drying machine lighting, the fifth gesture is configured with a function of turning on the clothes drying machine disinfection, the sixth gesture is configured with a function of turning off the clothes drying machine disinfection, and so on.

[0151] In this embodiment, step Y1 can be executed after step X102, that is, while detecting the clothes drying rod assembly information and human body information, the image of the clothes drying machine clothes drying rod assembly is detected to see whether there is facial information. If facial information is detected, the target gesture is further extracted and the target gesture action is determined. After the gesture action is recognized, step Y2 is executed, that is, the result obtained in the previous step X105 is obtained. If the previous step X105 determines that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the clothes drying machine can be controlled to perform the corresponding function according to the recognized gesture action. If the previous step X105 determines that there is a human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the clothes drying machine is not controlled based on the gesture action.

[0152] Alternatively, in this embodiment, when step X104 of this embodiment is periodically executed with a shorter period (e.g., 0 to 2 seconds), when it is determined in step X105 that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, gesture control of the clothes drying machine can also be implemented through the following steps:

[0153] Z1. Detect whether there is face information in the image information of the clothes drying machine rod component.

[0154] If yes, the target gesture is extracted from the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly, and the gesture action is recognized according to the extracted target gesture.

[0155] Z2. When a gesture action is recognized, the clothes drying machine is controlled to execute a corresponding function according to the recognized gesture action.

[0156] The above steps are executed after step X105, that is, when step X105 determines that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, step Z1 is executed to detect whether the image captured by the image acquisition unit includes human face information. If it does, the target gesture action is extracted and the clothes drying machine is controlled accordingly according to the target gesture action. Since step X104 performs detection in a shorter cycle, based on this, gesture control is still performed each time it is confirmed that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly.

[0157] This embodiment implements gesture control of the clothes drying machine through steps Y1 to Y2 or steps Z1 to Z2. In practice, one set of steps can be selected for execution. The premise that this embodiment can control the clothes drying machine based on gesture action is that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly to ensure the safe operation of the clothes drying machine.

[0158] In this embodiment, after acquiring the image information of the clothes drying machine drying rod assembly through the image acquisition unit, the method further includes:

[0159] Y11. Extracting palmprint information from the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly. In this embodiment, the palmprint image area is determined from the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly collected by the image acquisition unit, and palmprint features are extracted from the image information, and the palmprint information is recognized based on the extracted palmprint features.

[0160] Y12. Identify the target user's identity based on the extracted palmprint information.

[0161] In this embodiment, the palm print information of each user is entered and stored in advance. When the palm print information is recognized in the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly, the palm print information is compared with the stored palm print information, and the user identity information is determined based on the comparison result. If the comparison result fails, it means that the user corresponding to the recognized palm print information has no operation authority and the target user identity information cannot be determined, so the subsequent operations are not performed.

[0162] Y13. When the identity of the target user is identified, if it is determined that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the clothes drying machine is controlled to perform corresponding operations according to the identified identity of the target user.

[0163] In this embodiment, step Y11 can be executed after step X102, that is, while detecting the clothes drying rod assembly information and human body information, the image of the clothes drying machine clothes drying rod assembly is detected to see whether there is palm print information. After identifying the palm print information, the identity of the target user is identified by performing step Y12, and then step Y13 is performed, that is, obtaining the result obtained in the previous step X105. If the previous step X105 determined that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the clothes drying machine can be controlled to perform the corresponding function according to the identified target user identity. If the previous step X105 determined that there is a human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the clothes drying machine will not be controlled based on the identified target user identity.

[0164] Alternatively, after analyzing that no human body is hung on the clothes drying rod assembly according to the clothes drying rod assembly information and the human body information in the clothes drying rod assembly image information, the method further includes:

[0165] Z11, extracting palmprint information from the image information of the clothes drying rod component of the clothes drying machine;

[0166] Z12, identifying the target user's identity based on the extracted palmprint information;

[0167] Z13. Control the clothes drying machine to perform corresponding operations according to the identified target user identity.

[0168] In this embodiment, the operation of controlling the clothes drying machine includes: controlling the descending stroke of the clothes drying machine rod assembly according to the target user identity, controlling the corresponding functions of the clothes drying machine, such as turning on the lighting, etc. If the descending stroke of the clothes drying machine rod assembly is controlled according to the target user identity, it can be achieved in the following ways: obtaining the target user's height information based on the target user identity information, and controlling the descending stroke of the clothes drying machine rod assembly according to the target user's height information; or obtaining the descending stroke information of the rod assembly bound to the target user identity information, and controlling the descending stroke of the clothes drying machine rod assembly according to the descending stroke information of the rod assembly. In the former case, when controlling the descending stroke of the clothes drying machine rod assembly according to the target user's height information, before obtaining the palm print information recognized by the palm print recognition unit, the height information entered by the user is received and the height information is bound to the corresponding user, and the corresponding descending stroke of the rod assembly is configured for different height information; in this embodiment, the height information entered by the user can be received through an APP, a web page, etc., and bound to the user of the corresponding identity. The user can log in to the user account through the APP, webpage, etc., enter the height information for each user identity through the user account, and bind it to the corresponding identity user. For example, for owner A, after logging in to the APP through the account, the height information of owner A and other family members can be entered in the APP.

[0169] The above steps are executed after step X5, that is, when step X5 determines that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, step Z11 is executed to detect the palm print information in the image captured by the image acquisition unit to identify the identity of the target user, and corresponding control is performed on the clothes drying machine according to the identity of the target user.

[0170] This embodiment controls the clothes drying machine through steps Y11 to Y13 or steps Z11 to Z13. In practice, one set of steps can be selected for execution. The premise that the user identity identified based on palm print information in this embodiment can control the clothes drying machine is that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly to ensure the safe operation of the clothes drying machine.

[0171] like Figure 3 As shown in , the following specifically illustrates one implementation process of the above-mentioned clothes drying machine safe operation control method of this embodiment:

[0172] X1. When the clothes drying machine is powered on, the image acquisition unit enters the working state;

[0173] X2. Acquire an image of a clothes drying rod assembly of the clothes drying machine acquired by an image acquisition unit;

[0174] X3, extracting the clothes drying rod component information from the clothes drying rod component image information;

[0175] X4. Periodically detect whether there is human body information in the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly; that is, periodically detect whether there is human body information in the acquired images of the clothes drying rod assembly. For example, among the m images (m1, m2, ..., mi) of the clothes drying rod assembly acquired by the image acquisition unit, it is possible to detect whether there is human body information once every n (for example, n=3) images, that is, detect whether there is human body information for the m1, m4, m7, m10 and other images. In addition, when a trigger command specified by an external terminal is received or a specific button of the clothes drying machine host is triggered, the detection of human body information can also be started.

[0176] X5. After the human body information is detected in step X4, whether a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly is analyzed according to the clothes drying rod assembly information and the human body information in the clothes drying rod assembly image information;

[0177] If yes, go to step X6;

[0178] If not, go to step X8;

[0179] In this step, the positional relationship between the clothes drying rod assembly area and the human body area in the clothes drying rod assembly image is analyzed to determine whether relevant parts of the human body, such as hands, feet, neck, torso, etc., are located above the clothes drying rod assembly. If so, it can be determined that there is a human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly.

[0180] X6, determining whether the human body hanging on the drying rod assembly in step X5 is in the hand position;

[0181] If so, obtain the weight information of the clothes drying rod assembly, and based on the current time, detect whether the weight information change of the clothes drying rod assembly within the preset time range exceeds the set value; if so, determine that there is a human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, and enter step X7; otherwise, determine that there is no human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, and enter step X8.

[0182] If not, go to step X7.

[0183] X7. After determining that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly of the clothes drying machine through the above steps, control the clothes drying machine to perform emergency operation. If not, proceed to step X7. ;

[0184] In this step, if it is determined that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the first thing to do is to control the clothes drying machine to descend to the lowest point. For example, when the clothes drying machine is in the process of ascending and it is determined that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the clothes drying machine is first controlled to stop ascending immediately and perform a descending operation instead until it descends to the lowest point; further, within a certain time range, such as 3 seconds, after the clothes drying rod assembly descends to the lowest point, it is determined whether the human body hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly disappears. If not, the alarm device can be triggered to alarm and / or a prompt message can be sent to an external terminal at the same time. Of course, the alarm device can also be triggered to alarm and / or a prompt message can be sent to an external terminal at the same time when it is determined that a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly.

[0185] X8. Detect whether there is facial information in the image information of the clothes drying machine rod component.

[0186] If yes, extract the target gesture from the image information of the clothes drying rod assembly, and recognize the gesture action according to the extracted target gesture;

[0187] If not, return to step X2.

[0188] X9. Control the clothes drying machine to perform corresponding functions according to the recognized gestures. For example, when the recognized gesture is "stretch out your palm", the clothes drying rod assembly rises; when the recognized gesture is "raise one pole", the clothes drying rod assembly is controlled to descend.

[0189] The above steps X1 to X9 are only one of the implementation processes of the method of this embodiment. The method of this embodiment can also integrate the step of palm print recognition of the user. In addition, the face recognition and gesture recognition in step X8 can also be performed after step X2. In this case, after the gesture is recognized, it is determined whether to control the clothes drying machine based on the gesture according to the judgment result of step X5.

[0190] In summary, the method for safe operation of the clothes drying machine in this embodiment mainly determines whether there is a human body hanging on the clothes drying machine rod assembly through the image of the clothes drying machine rod assembly obtained by the image acquisition unit. When it is determined that there is a human body hanging on the rod assembly, the clothes drying machine is triggered to perform emergency operations, including descending to the lowest point, sending alarm information, and pushing prompt information, etc., so as to overcome the safety problems caused by human bodies hanging on the clothes drying machine and provide safety protection for special groups such as the elderly and children at home. At the same time, this embodiment uses the images acquired by the image acquisition unit to collect user information, such as face information and gesture information, so that the clothes drying machine can be controlled through gestures, or the user's palm print information can be collected, and the user's identity can be identified based on the palm print information, so as to control the clothes drying machine accordingly, so that the function of the image acquisition unit is more fully utilized, and the waste of resources caused by setting the image acquisition unit only for safety supervision is avoided.

[0191] The above steps of this embodiment are only one of the implementation processes. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the steps in the method of this embodiment can be completed by instructing the relevant hardware through a program, and the corresponding program can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. It should be noted that although the method operation of this embodiment is described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings, this does not require or imply that these operations must be performed in this specific order, or that all the operations shown must be performed to achieve the desired results. On the contrary, the steps depicted can change the execution order, some steps can also be performed simultaneously, additionally or alternatively, some steps can be omitted, multiple steps can be combined into one step, and / or one step can be decomposed into multiple steps. For example, step X103 extracts the drying rod component information and X104 detects and extracts the human body information can be performed simultaneously, or first detects whether there is human body information, and then extracts the drying rod component information.

[0192] Example 3

[0193] This embodiment discloses a clothes drying machine safety operation control system. Figure 4 As shown, it includes a main controller and an image acquisition unit.

[0194] In this embodiment, the image acquisition unit is connected to the main controller and is used to acquire image information of the position of the clothes drying rod assembly to obtain image information of the clothes drying rod assembly. In this embodiment, the image acquisition unit can use a camera, preferably a binocular camera, and image depth calculation can be realized based on the binocular camera. Based on the image depth calculation, the distance between the clothes drying rod assembly, human body, etc. and the image acquisition unit can also be determined, so that a more timely and rapid response can be made.

[0195] A main controller is used to execute the clothes drying machine safe operation control method described in Example 1 or Example 2, including: acquiring image information of a clothes drying machine rod assembly through an image acquisition unit; extracting the clothes drying machine rod assembly information from the clothes drying machine rod assembly image information; and detecting whether there is human body information in the clothes drying machine rod assembly image information;

[0196] According to the drying rod assembly information and human body information in the clothes drying rod assembly image information, it is analyzed whether a human body is hanging on the drying rod assembly; if a human body is hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, the clothes drying machine is controlled to perform an emergency operation. In this embodiment, the main controller is a device with image processing and control functions, and the execution process of the above steps and further expansion steps are specifically as described in Example 1 or Example 2, and will not be repeated here.

[0197] In this embodiment, the main controller can be a controller originally set on the main control board of the clothes drying machine host, or a controller set separately. If it is the latter, the main controller needs to be connected to the controller on the main control board of the host. In addition, the main controller is connected to the power system that controls the lifting and lowering movement of the clothes drying rod assembly of the clothes drying machine. Specifically, the main controller can be connected to the motor through a motor driver, and the motor is connected to the clothes drying rod assembly through a wire rope. Based on this, the main controller can control the lifting and lowering movement of the clothes drying rod assembly.

[0198] In this embodiment, the image acquisition unit can be a device installed on the clothes drying machine. Specifically, the image acquisition unit is installed on the front panel or side panel of the clothes drying machine host. For a rectangular clothes drying machine host, the image information acquisition unit is generally installed in the middle of the long side of the host. An image acquisition unit can also be set on each of the two short sides of the host. The specific adaptive setting can be made according to the actual installation and use environment. In this embodiment, the image acquisition unit can be installed vertically or tilted. If it is installed on the front panel of the clothes drying machine host, it is generally installed in the approximate center of the front panel, and its lens can be directly perpendicular to the ground; if it is installed on the side panel of the clothes drying machine host, it is generally installed tilted, and the installation tilt angle can be set to 10°~85°. The tilt angle refers to the angle between the central axis of the image acquisition unit and the plumb line, which can be adjusted according to the length of the clothes drying rod assembly on the clothes drying machine; it can be preferably 25°~35°, based on which the image information acquisition unit can better capture the image of the clothes drying rod assembly area, especially the position where the clothes drying rod assembly is easily climbed by special groups such as children after it is lowered. If the main controller executes the method described in Example 2, that is, face recognition and gesture recognition are required, then the image information acquisition unit is generally installed on the long side panel of the clothes drying machine host at an inclined angle, so that the face information can be collected when the user slightly raises his head.

[0199] In this embodiment, the image acquisition unit may also be an independent device installed in the installation environment of the clothes drying machine. In this case, the image acquisition unit is generally connected to the controller through an image processor, and the controller is communicated with the main controller through a wireless communication unit or a wired method; specifically, after the image acquired by the image acquisition unit passes through the image processor, information (human body hanging information) is obtained as to whether a human body is hanging on the clothes drying machine's drying rod assembly, and the controller determines the clothes drying machine execution instruction based on the human body hanging information, and sends it to the main controller, so that the main controller controls the clothes drying machine to perform corresponding operations according to the above execution instruction; or the controller may also directly send the human body hanging information to the main controller, and the main controller determines the clothes drying machine execution instruction based on the human body hanging information.

[0200] The clothes drying machine control system of this embodiment also includes a weighing unit, such as a weighing sensor, arranged on the clothes drying rod assembly. The weight information of the clothes drying machine is detected by the weighing unit. Based on this, steps S01~S02 or Sa1~Sb1 described in Example 1 can be implemented, and steps Xa1~Xb1 described in Example 2 can also be implemented.
