[0059] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0060] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. (if any) in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, for example. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0061] In the prior art, the working mode of the clothes drying machine is usually that after the user turns on the drying function, the selected drying function will run for a certain period of time. When the running time is over, the drying function will be automatically turned off to complete the drying of the clothes. However, when the initial state of the clothes is different during drying, the fixed drying time may not achieve the ideal drying effect. For example, due to factors such as different washing conditions, different materials, and different moisture content of clothes, when drying at the same time, some clothes may have been dried before the running time is over, but they are still being dried, which may cause certain damage to the clothes and waste of resources. Therefore, the existing clothes drying machine has certain technical defects in the working mode of drying for a fixed time, which will lead to poor user satisfaction with the clothes drying machine, thereby reducing user experience and quality of life.

[0062] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing clothes drying machines, the embodiments of the present application provide a clothes drying control method, device, storage medium and clothes drying machine. The clothes drying control method provided in the embodiments of the present application, after the clothes drying machine turns on the drying mode, first obtains the clothing information of the clothes to be dried placed by the user in the clothes drying machine, including the drying position information and the clothing feature information of the clothes to be dried. Then, the clothes drying order is determined according to the clothing information, and it is judged according to the clothing drying order whether the current state of the clothes meets the preset drying state. If it meets the preset drying state, the clothes drying machine is regulated to reduce the drying range and / or drying parameters, wherein the drying range refers to the area covered by the clothes to be dried. Thus, based on the clothing information, the drying mode is regulated according to the current state of the clothes to be dried, thereby avoiding the situation where the dried clothes are still being dried continuously, eliminating unnecessary damage to the clothes, improving the user experience, and further improving the quality of life of the user.

[0063] The following is an introduction to exemplary application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application.

[0064] The clothes drying control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented by executing the clothes drying control device provided in the embodiment of the present application. The electronic device corresponding to the clothes drying control device can be part of a server or a server cluster, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an application scenario provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1As shown, the network is used to provide a medium for a communication link between the server 10, the mobile terminal 11 and the clothes drying machine 12, and the network may include various connection types, such as wired, wireless communication links or optical fiber cables, etc. In the clothes drying control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the server 10 is connected to the mobile terminal 11 and the clothes drying machine 12 by wireless, and the mobile terminal 11 and the clothes drying machine 12 can be connected by wireless and / or Bluetooth. Due to the existence of the network, data can be interacted between the server 10, the mobile terminal 11 and the clothes drying machine 12 to achieve corresponding control operations. For example, a target control can be configured on the mobile terminal 11, such as an application (APP) for managing and controlling the clothes drying machine, so as to realize the corresponding control of the clothes drying machine 12 according to the relevant data by running the target control through the server 10. At the same time, the server 10 can obtain all relevant data when the clothes drying machine 12 performs clothes drying control, etc. In this exemplary application scenario, the clothes drying control device provided in the embodiment of the present application can execute the clothes drying control method provided in the embodiment of the present application to obtain the clothes information of the clothes to be dried, and then determine whether the current state of the clothes meets the preset drying state, so as to adjust the clothes drying machine, reduce the drying range and / or drying parameters, and realize effective regulation of the drying mode according to the current state of the clothes. It is worth noting that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of mobile terminal. For example, the mobile terminal can be a smart phone, a smart watch, a tablet computer or a smart bracelet, etc. Figure 1 The mobile terminal 11 in the figure is shown by taking a smart phone as an example.

[0065] It should be noted that the above application scenarios are merely illustrative, and the clothes drying control method provided in the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to the above application scenarios.

[0066] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0067] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a flow chart of a clothes drying control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the clothes drying control method provided in this embodiment includes:

[0068] S101: If it is determined that the clothes drying machine has turned on the drying mode, obtain the clothing information of the clothes to be dried in the clothes drying machine.

[0069] The clothing information includes drying location information and clothing feature information.

[0070] When it is determined that the clothes drying machine has turned on the drying mode, the clothes information of the clothes to be dried placed by the user in the clothes drying machine is obtained. For example, when the user can control the clothes drying machine through an application configured on the mobile terminal, when the user turns on the control of the drying mode on the application, it indicates that the clothes drying machine has turned on the drying mode. Alternatively, the user can turn on the corresponding drying mode through an on button set on the clothes drying machine.

[0071] After determining that the drying mode of the clothes drying machine has been turned on, clothing information is obtained. The clothing information may include drying position information and clothing feature information. The drying position information may be understood as the relative position between the clothes to be dried and the air outlet in the clothes drying machine. The clothing feature information may be relevant information that can characterize the material, weight, moisture content, washing conditions, etc. of the clothes. The specific content included in the clothing feature information may be set according to the degree of refinement of the drying mode of the clothes drying machine in actual working conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0072] In a possible design, in step S101, the clothes information of the clothes to be dried in the clothes drying machine is obtained, and a possible implementation method is as follows:

[0073] First, the drying location information is obtained through the image recognition component.

[0074] The drying position information is used to characterize the relative position between the clothes to be dried and the air outlet, and the image recognition component is arranged on the clothes drying machine.

[0075] The image recognition component may be a corresponding component capable of image recognition, such as a camera. For example, the camera may be set at a position where a panoramic view of the clothes drying machine can be captured, and the relative position between the clothes to be dried and the air outlet, i.e., the drying position information, may be obtained by capturing the position of the clothes to be dried in the clothes drying machine and the position of the air outlet provided in the clothes drying machine.

[0076] For example, at least two clothes drying rods are provided in the clothes drying machine, and corresponding multiple positions for placing clothes to be dried are divided on the clothes drying rods, wherein the division of the multiple positions can be evenly distributed according to the position of the air outlet in the clothes drying machine. For example, four air outlets are provided in the clothes drying machine, and every two air outlets are provided on the same side as one of the two clothes drying rods. Accordingly, assuming that each clothes drying rod is divided into placement positions 1 to 12, the placement positions 1 to 6 and 7 to 12 correspond to the two air outlets, respectively. Furthermore, the user can place the clothes to be dried at any placement position, and the image recognition component obtains the placement position of the clothes to be dried and the air outlet corresponding to the placement position. In other words, the image recognition component obtains the relative position between the clothes to be dried and the air outlet in the clothes drying machine, that is, obtains the drying position information.

[0077] It is worth noting that the above description is merely illustrative and does not constitute a specific limitation on the clothes drying rod, placement, air outlet, etc. in the clothes drying machine.

[0078] Furthermore, clothing characteristic information is obtained through a preset laundry application and a weight measuring component arranged on the clothes drying machine.

[0079] The clothing characteristic information includes the initial weight, initial moisture content and estimated drying time of each piece of clothing to be dried, and the preset laundry application is connected to communicate with the clothes drying machine.

[0080] The preset laundry application may be a corresponding program for controlling a washing machine, which is used to wash clothes to be dried. Therefore, when the preset laundry application is connected to the clothes drying machine for communication, the corresponding laundry program that has been performed on the clothes to be dried, such as different laundry programs such as the laundry mode, can be learned, and clothing characteristic information such as the material, initial moisture content, and estimated drying time of the clothes to be dried can be obtained. Among them, the estimated drying time refers to the estimated time required for the clothes to be dried to reach the drying state using the current drying mode of the clothes drying machine after completing the corresponding laundry program. The initial moisture content is usually an empirical value obtained according to the laundry program. Among them, the specific values ​​corresponding to the estimated drying time and the initial moisture content are determined by the actual working conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0081] The clothes drying machine is provided with a weight measuring component, for example, a weight sensor is provided at each placement position to obtain clothing characteristic information of each piece of clothing to be dried placed at the placement position, for example, the obtained clothing characteristic information may include information such as the initial weight corresponding to the clothing to be dried. The initial weight refers to the weight and moisture content of the clothing to be dried before the drying mode is entered. The specific value corresponding to the initial weight is determined by the actual working condition, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0082] The above embodiment lists possible ways to obtain the laundry information of the laundry to be dried in the clothes drying machine, so as to obtain the laundry information of the laundry to be dried through the image recognition component, the weight measurement component and the preset laundry application program in communication with the clothes drying machine, and then effectively control the clothes drying machine according to the laundry information. It is worth noting that the description of the components in the clothes drying machine in the above embodiment is only illustrative and does not specifically limit them.

[0083] S102: Determine a drying order for the clothes according to the clothes information, so as to judge whether the current state of the clothes meets a preset drying state according to the clothes drying order.

[0084] After obtaining the clothing information of the clothes to be dried, the clothing drying order of the clothes to be dried is determined according to the clothing information. The clothing drying order refers to the order corresponding to the clothes to be dried after being sorted according to a specified method. For example, each piece of clothing to be dried corresponding to each drying position information can be sorted according to the initial moisture content and / or the expected drying time in a preset sorting method, wherein when sorting according to the initial moisture content, the preset sorting method can be the moisture content. When sorting according to the expected drying time, the preset sorting method can be the length of time. After sorting each piece of clothing to be dried, the clothing drying order is obtained. Thus, the determination of the clothing drying order is achieved according to the clothing information.

[0085] In order to ensure the stability of the clothes drying control method, when determining the clothes drying sequence according to the clothes information, it can be performed for the clothes to be dried corresponding to the same air outlet. For example, the clothes to be dried A, clothes to be dried B and clothes to be dried C correspond to the air outlet 1, and the clothes to be dried D, clothes to be dried E and clothes to be dried F correspond to the air outlet 2. Then, the clothes to be dried corresponding to the air outlet 1 and the air outlet 2 are sorted in a preset sorting manner according to their respective initial moisture contents and / or expected drying times, so as to obtain the clothes drying sequence respectively. For example, the obtained clothes drying sequence can be ACB and EDF respectively.

[0086] After the clothes drying sequence is determined, it is determined whether the current state of the clothes meets the preset drying state according to the clothes drying sequence. Specifically, every time the drying mode runs to the estimated drying time of each piece of clothes to be dried in the clothes drying sequence, it is determined in turn whether the current state of the clothes to be dried meets the preset drying state. For example, it can be determined whether the current moisture content and / or current weight of the clothes to be dried meets the preset drying state by determining whether the current moisture content and / or current weight of the clothes to be dried reaches the moisture content and weight corresponding to the preset drying state. The preset drying state is used to represent the state corresponding to the drying purpose of the clothes to be dried.

[0087] After the judgment, if the judgment result is yes, that is, the current state of the clothes to be dried meets the preset drying state, then step S103 is executed. Otherwise, if the judgment result is no, that is, the current state of the clothes to be dried does not meet the preset drying state, then step S104 is executed.

[0088] S103: regulating the clothes drying machine to reduce the drying range and / or drying parameters.

[0089] The drying range is used to cover the clothes to be dried.

[0090] If the judgment result is yes, it indicates that the current state of the corresponding clothes to be dried has met the preset drying state. In other words, the corresponding clothes to be dried have achieved the drying purpose, that is, the corresponding clothes to be dried have been dried. At this time, the clothes drying machine is regulated to reduce the drying range and / or drying parameters. For example, for the clothes drying sequence ACB, when the current state of the clothes to be dried A has met the preset drying state, it indicates that the clothes to be dried A has been dried, and then the clothes drying machine can be regulated to reduce the drying range from covering the clothes to be dried A, the clothes to be dried B and the clothes to be dried C to covering the clothes to be dried B and the clothes to be dried C, or reduce the drying wind speed and / or drying temperature of the air outlet corresponding to the clothes to be dried A, the clothes to be dried B and the clothes to be dried C. Thereby, it is avoided that the clothes to be dried A that have been dried are continuously dried according to the initial drying mode, and the loss of the clothes to be dried A is eliminated.

[0091] In one possible design, the reduction of the drying range may be achieved by providing a driving motor and a shielding plate in the clothes drying machine. When the judgment result is yes, the shielding plate can be driven to move by the driving motor, and the air outlet corresponding to the dried clothes can be blocked by the shielding plate, thereby reducing the drying range to prevent the dried clothes from being continuously dried. Shielding plates can be set on the symmetrical surfaces of each air outlet, such as left-right symmetrical settings or top-bottom symmetrical settings. A driving motor is set in correspondence with the shielding plate that is set, so that the driving motor drives the corresponding shielding plate. The number, specification type and specific setting position of the driving motor can be set according to parameters such as the position of the clothes drying rod in the clothes drying machine and the drying mode, and this embodiment is limited to this.

[0092] In a possible design, the possible implementation method of reducing the drying parameters is:

[0093] The corresponding parameters of the fan assembly and the heating assembly set in the clothes drying machine are adjusted to achieve the purpose of reducing the drying parameters. For example, the air intake rate of the fan assembly and / or the heating temperature of the heating assembly are adjusted to reduce the drying parameters such as the drying wind speed and / or the drying temperature, so as to avoid continuing to dry the dried clothes with the initial higher drying parameters. Among them, the fan assembly and the heating assembly are set correspondingly, but the specifications, types, quantities and positions of the two in the clothes drying machine can be set according to factors such as the drying mode of the clothes drying machine and the actual size of the clothes drying machine, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0094] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned methods of reducing the drying range and reducing the drying parameters can be performed either one or simultaneously, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0095] S104: Increase or maintain the drying range and / or drying parameters.

[0096] On the contrary, if the judgment result is no, that is, the current state of the corresponding clothes to be dried does not meet the preset drying state, it means that the corresponding clothes to be dried have not yet achieved the drying purpose. At this time, the drying range and / or drying parameters can be increased or maintained.

[0097] In a possible design, the possible implementation method of increasing or maintaining the drying range is: the driving motor set in the clothes drying machine drives the shielding plate at the corresponding position to move, so as to expand or maintain the current state of the shielding plate. For example, the shielding plate that is not fully opened is further opened to expand the drying range. Or the current opening state of the shielding plate is kept unchanged to continue drying the clothes to be dried that do not meet the preset drying state. It can be understood that the number, specification type and setting position of the driving motor and the shielding plate in this embodiment are similar to those in the above step S103, and will not be repeated here.

[0098] In a possible design, the possible implementation method of increasing or maintaining the drying parameters is: regulating the corresponding parameters of the fan assembly and the heating assembly set in the clothes drying machine, for example, regulating the air intake rate of the fan assembly and / or the heating temperature of the heating assembly to increase or maintain the drying parameters such as the drying wind speed and / or the drying temperature, and continuing to dry the clothes to be dried that do not meet the preset drying state. It can be understood that the number, specification type, and setting position of the fan assembly and the heating assembly in this embodiment are similar to those in the above step S103, and will not be repeated here.

[0099] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned methods of increasing or maintaining the drying range and increasing or maintaining the drying parameters can be performed either one or simultaneously, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0100] It is understandable that when the drying mode of the clothes drying machine is turned on, the shielding plate at the corresponding position can be opened according to the drying position information. For example, after obtaining the drying position information, it can be known at which air outlet of the clothes drying machine the clothes to be dried are placed, and the shielding plate at the air outlet is opened accordingly. If the clothes to be dried are not placed at the air outlet, there is no need to open the shielding plate at the air outlet, so as to reduce unnecessary waste of resources.

[0101] The clothes drying control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, after determining that the clothes drying machine has turned on the drying mode, first obtains the clothes information of the clothes to be dried in the clothes drying machine, such as the drying position information and the clothes feature information. Then, the clothes drying order is determined according to the clothes information, so as to judge whether the current state of the clothes meets the preset drying state according to the clothes drying order. After the judgment, if it is satisfied, that is, the judgment result is yes, the clothes drying machine is regulated to reduce the drying range and / or drying parameters, wherein the drying range is used to cover the clothes to be dried, and the drying parameters may include the drying wind speed and the drying temperature, etc. Based on the clothes information, the drying mode is effectively regulated according to the current state of the clothes to be dried, so as to avoid the situation where the dried clothes are still being dried continuously, eliminate unnecessary damage to the clothes, improve the user experience, and thus improve the quality of life of the user.

[0102] In a possible design, the possible implementation method of judging whether the current state of the clothes meets the preset drying state according to the clothes drying sequence in the above step S102 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A flow chart of another method for controlling clothes drying provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 3 As shown, in the clothes drying control method provided in this embodiment, judging whether the current state of the clothes meets the preset drying state according to the clothes drying sequence includes:

[0103] S1021: When the running time of the drying mode reaches the preset drying time, the current weight and / or current moisture content of the clothes to be dried are obtained in sequence according to the drying order of the clothes.

[0104] During the operation of the drying mode, when the operation time reaches the preset drying time of the clothes to be dried, the current weight and / or current moisture content of the clothes to be dried corresponding to the preset drying time are obtained according to the clothes drying order. The implementation method of obtaining the current weight and / or current moisture content is similar to the implementation method of obtaining the initial weight and / or initial moisture content in the above steps, which will not be repeated here.

[0105] After obtaining the current weight and / or the current moisture content, step S1022 and / or step S1023 may be further performed to obtain a determination result.

[0106] S1022: Determine whether the current weight is less than or equal to a preset weight threshold.

[0107] The current state of the clothes includes the current weight, and the preset drying state includes the preset weight threshold.

[0108] The current weight is compared with the preset weight threshold to determine whether the current weight is less than or equal to the preset weight threshold. If so, it is determined that the current state of the corresponding clothes to be dried meets the preset drying state. Otherwise, it is determined that the current state of the corresponding clothes to be dried does not meet the preset drying state. The preset weight threshold refers to the weight corresponding to the clothes to be dried when the drying purpose is achieved. The specific value can be set according to the material of the clothes to be dried and the drying effect of the clothes drying machine and other parameters, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0109] S1023: Determine whether the current moisture content is less than or equal to a preset moisture content threshold.

[0110] The current state of the clothes includes the current moisture content, and the preset drying state includes the preset moisture content threshold.

[0111] The current moisture content obtained is compared with the preset moisture content threshold to determine whether the current moisture content is less than or equal to the preset moisture content threshold. If so, it is determined that the current state of the corresponding clothes to be dried meets the preset drying state. On the contrary, if not, it is determined that the current state of the corresponding clothes to be dried does not meet the preset drying state. The preset moisture content threshold refers to the moisture content corresponding to the clothes to be dried when the drying purpose is achieved. The specific value can be set according to the material of the clothes to be dried and the drying effect of the clothes drying machine and other parameters, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0112] The clothes drying control method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when judging whether the current state of the clothes meets the preset drying state according to the clothes drying sequence, first, when the running time of the drying mode reaches the preset drying time, the current weight and / or current moisture content of the clothes to be dried are obtained in sequence according to the clothes drying sequence. Afterwards, by judging whether the current weight is less than or equal to the preset weight threshold, and / or judging whether the current moisture content is less than or equal to the preset moisture content threshold, it is determined by the judgment result whether the current state of the corresponding clothes to be dried meets the preset drying state. Among them, when the current state of the clothes includes the current weight, the preset drying state includes the preset weight threshold. When the current state of the clothes includes the current moisture content, the preset drying state includes the preset moisture content threshold. Then, according to the judgment result, the clothes drying machine is adjusted accordingly to avoid the situation where the dried clothes are still being dried continuously, eliminating unnecessary damage to the clothes, improving the user experience, and thus improving the quality of life of the user.
