The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after it.

[0059] 4) "Corresponding" can refer to an association or binding relationship. A and B corresponding to each other means that A and B have an association or binding relationship.

[0060] The application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application are explained as follows:

[0061] In daily life, due to the clothes wet or clothes stored for a long time to breed bacteria, the application of clothes dryer, which can be clothes drying, disinfection equipment is also more and more widely. Compared with the washing machine, because the washing machine in the washing process there is a process of water and including soaking, washing, dehydration and a series of washing process, the washing process does not need to be interrupted, so you can set the door lock in the washing machine, to ensure the complete operation of the whole washing process. Dryer itself does not have a strict drying process, that is, the user can according to their own needs, at any time to stop the drying process, take out the clothes dryer. Therefore, in order to facilitate the user according to their own needs to open the dryer door to take out the clothes, the prior art only in the door of the dryer set switch device, when the door hook on the door can be directly inserted into the switch device, so that the door is closed, when the user wants to stop the drying process at any time, can be taken out. For example, when the user is in a hurry to go out of the clothes in the dryer, if you can't wait for the control time of the preset drying process, you can directly control the switch device to open and take out the clothes.

[0062] However, in some application scenarios, if the clothes in the dryer are more, the pressure of the clothes in the dryer on the door will be too large during the operation of the dryer, so that the switch device in the door is easily opened, thereby causing the clothes to be stained with stains or damaged, in addition, the sudden opening of the door may also cause certain damage to the safety of the user beside the dryer.

[0063] The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems will be described in detail below. The following specific examples can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some examples. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] Figure 1 A flow chart of a dryer control method provided by an embodiment of the present application is applied to a dryer, and the dryer is provided with a door and a door lock, as shown in Figure 1 The dryer control method provided by the embodiment includes the following steps:

[0065] Step S101, if it is detected that the door of the dryer is closed, the clothes state information is obtained, wherein the clothes state information is used to represent the state of the clothes placed in the dryer.

[0066] Exemplarily, after the user puts in the clothes, the controller or other control device in the clothes dryer detects that the door of the clothes dryer is in a closed state through a sensor or other detection device, and obtains the state of the clothes, wherein the state of the clothes can include any one or more of the weight of the clothes, the volume of the clothes, the category of the clothes, the thickness of the clothes, etc.

[0067] In one example, an image recognition device can be arranged in the clothes dryer, which can analyze and recognize the image of the clothes in the clothes dryer, so as to determine the state information of the clothes.

[0068] In step S102, the door lock state information is determined according to the state information of the clothes, wherein the door lock state information is used to represent the open state or the closed state of the door lock.

[0069] Exemplarily, after obtaining the state information of the clothes put into the clothes dryer, it is further determined whether the door lock state is in an open state or a closed state according to the state information of the clothes. The corresponding relationship between the state information of the clothes and the door lock state information can be pre-set in the control device of the clothes dryer, and the state information of the door lock can be found by determining the state of the clothes, that is, whether the door lock needs to be opened or closed.

[0070] For example, when it is detected that the weight of the clothes in the clothes dryer is large, the clothes in the drying process may squeeze the door of the clothes dryer to open the door of the clothes dryer, thereby causing pollution or damage to the clothes. Therefore, the controller in the clothes dryer will control the door lock to be closed according to the determined door lock state information. When it is detected that the weight of the clothes in the clothes dryer is small, it is considered that the clothes are less likely to open the door of the clothes dryer in the drying process, so that the door lock of the clothes dryer can be in an open state in this case, so that the user can take out the clothes in the clothes dryer more conveniently during the drying process, without going through the process of opening the lock, reducing the operation complexity, improving the user experience, and avoiding the problem that the clothes are polluted or damaged after the door is opened by the clothes.

[0071] In step S103, the door lock of the clothes dryer is closed according to the door lock state information.

[0072] Exemplarily, after the state information of the door lock is analyzed and determined, the door lock of the clothes dryer is controlled to be closed when the door lock state in the door lock state information is in a closed state.

[0073] In this embodiment, the clothes in the drying machine are detected after the detection of the closing of the drying machine door, and then the door lock state information is determined according to the detected clothes state, and then the door lock of the drying machine is controlled according to the determined door lock state information. Through the above method, different controls can be realized on the drying machine door lock under different clothes states, and the user experience is improved. In this embodiment, on the one hand, the door lock of the drying machine can be closed to ensure that the drying machine door will not be opened during the drying process, and on the other hand, when the possibility of the drying machine door being opened is small according to the clothes state, the door lock is opened to facilitate the user to take the clothes and improve the user operation convenience.

[0074] Figure 2 A flowchart of a drying machine control method according to another embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0075] Step S201, if it is detected that the door of the drying machine is closed, the clothes state information is obtained, wherein the clothes state information is used to represent the state of the clothes placed in the drying machine.

[0076] In one example, the clothes state information is obtained in step S201, which comprises the following steps:

[0077] First, the clothes weight information of the clothes is collected.

[0078] Second, the clothes occupying volume is determined according to the clothes weight information.

[0079] Exemplarily, the clothes state information can be the occupying volume of the clothes, i.e. the space occupied by the clothes in the drying machine drum. In order to obtain the occupying volume of the clothes, the weight information of the clothes in the drying machine can be collected first. In one possible implementation, a gravity sensor or other gravity detection device is arranged in the drying machine to detect the clothes weight information of the clothes in the drying machine. The clothes occupying volume can be determined according to the detected clothes weight information. Alternatively, the drying machine pre-stores a comparison relationship between the clothes weight information and the clothes occupying volume, and the clothes occupying volume can be determined according to the detected clothes weight information and the pre-stored comparison relationship.

[0080] Step S202, when the clothes state information comprises the clothes occupying volume, which is used to represent the space occupied by the clothes in the drying machine drum, the door pressure information is determined according to the clothes occupying volume, wherein the door pressure information is used to represent the pressure of the clothes on the door when the drying machine is running.

[0081] Exemplarily, after the clothes occupying volume is determined, the pressure information of the clothes on the door under the volume during the drying process is further determined according to the occupying volume.

[0082] In one example, a prediction model can be constructed by the historical clothes occupying volume of the clothes dryer and the corresponding historical door pressure information, the relationship between the clothes occupying volume and the door pressure information is determined, and then the door pressure information is predicted by the clothes occupying volume at the current time and the constructed prediction model. Or the clothes occupying volume at the current time is matched with the historical clothes occupying volume, the closest historical clothes occupying volume is determined, and then the door pressure information at the current time is determined according to the historical door pressure information corresponding to the historical clothes occupying volume.

[0083] In step S203, the door lock state information is determined according to the door pressure information.

[0084] Exemplarily, after obtaining the pressure information caused by the current clothes to the door of the clothes dryer during the running of the clothes dryer, whether the door lock is closed can be determined according to the preset relationship between the door pressure information and the door lock state.

[0085] In one example, the door lock state information includes a first door lock state and a second door lock state; then step S203 can include the following steps:

[0086] If the door pressure information is greater than the preset pressure threshold, the door lock state information is determined as the first door lock state, and the first door lock state indicates that the door lock is closed.

[0087] If the door pressure information is less than or equal to the preset pressure threshold, the door lock state information is determined as the second door lock state, and the second door lock state indicates that the door lock is opened; wherein the preset pressure threshold is the pressure value required for the clothes to open the door by extrusion when the door lock is in the opened state.

[0088] Exemplarily, the state information of the door lock can be divided into two states, the first door lock state and the second door lock state. The first door lock state represents the closed door lock, and the second door lock state represents the opened door lock. In addition, a preset pressure threshold can be set according to historical data or test data, which is the size of the pressure required for the clothes to open the door when the door lock is opened. The relationship between the determined door pressure information and the preset pressure threshold is compared, when the door pressure information is greater than the preset pressure threshold, it is represented that the pressure caused by the clothes to the door during the drying process will cause the door to open. At this time, the door lock state information of the door is determined as the first state, i.e. the closed state. When the door pressure information is less than the preset pressure threshold, it is represented that the pressure caused by the clothes to the door during the drying process will not cause the door to open. At this time, the door lock state information of the door is determined as the second state, i.e. the opened state.

[0089] For example, when the user needs to put a small amount of clothes to be worn into the dryer for drying, the dryer determines the volume of the clothes according to the weight of the clothes, and then determines the pressure information of the clothes according to the volume of the clothes. Since the amount of clothes is small, the finally determined pressure information is less than the preset threshold, and the door lock is opened. The user can conveniently take out the clothes during the drying process or after the drying is completed. When the user needs to dry a large amount of clothes, the finally determined pressure information is greater than the preset threshold, and the door lock is closed, so that the clothes cannot push open the door during the drying process.

[0090] In step S204, the door lock of the dryer is closed according to the door lock state information.

[0091] For example, the step S103 shown in the above table is not repeated here. Figure 1 The step S103 shown in the above table is not repeated here.

[0092] In the embodiment, when the clothes state information is acquired, the volume of the clothes is determined according to the weight of the clothes, and then the pressure information of the clothes on the door of the dryer during the drying process is determined. When it is determined whether the door lock is in the opened state or the closed state, the determined pressure information is compared with the preset pressure threshold. When the pressure information is greater than the preset pressure threshold, it is indicated that the door will be pushed open during the drying process, and then it is determined that the door lock is in the closed state. When the pressure information is less than the preset pressure threshold, it is indicated that the door will not be pushed open during the drying process, and then it is determined that the door lock is in the opened state. Through the above method, it can be ensured that the door will not be pushed open to cause the clothes to be contaminated when the amount of clothes is large, and the door lock can be opened to facilitate the user to take out the clothes when the amount of clothes is small.

[0093] Figure 3 A flow chart of a control method of a dryer provided by another embodiment of the present application is shown in the above table. Figure 3

[0094] In step S305, a target running parameter corresponding to the door lock state information is determined.

[0095] For example, the step S305 can be executed after the step S203 or the step S204. When it is determined in the step S203 that the door lock is in the opened state, the step S301 can be directly executed. When it is determined in the step S203 that the door lock is in the closed state, the step S305 is further executed after the door lock is closed in the step S204. According to whether the door lock is in the opened state or the closed state, the target running parameter during the drying process is further determined. The target running parameter can include the drum rotating speed, the drum rotating direction, the drying time and the like. In one mode, two modes, the opened lock mode and the closed lock mode, can be set. In the opened lock mode, the parameters of the drum rotating speed and the drying time can be set to small values. In the closed lock mode, the parameters of the drum rotating speed and the drying time can be set to large values.​

[0096] In one example, step S305 comprises the following steps:

[0097] In a first step, a maximum pressure value corresponding to the door lock state information is determined according to the clothes state information.

[0098] In an example, according to the clothes state information, such as the weight, volume, etc. of the clothes, and whether the current door lock state is open or closed, the maximum pressure value of the clothes on the door during the drying process under the current door lock state is further determined.

[0099] In a second step, a target operating parameter is determined according to the maximum pressure value.

[0100] In an example, after the maximum pressure value is obtained, the target operating parameter of the drying machine can be further determined according to the mapping relationship between the maximum pressure value and the target operating parameter.

[0101] Step S306: controlling the inner drum of the drying machine to rotate according to the target operating parameter, wherein the target operating parameter is used to represent the rotation timing of the inner drum.

[0102] In an example, after the target operating parameter is obtained, the control device in the drying machine controls the inner drum of the drying machine to operate according to the parameters in the target parameter. The target operating parameter can include drum speed, drum direction, drying time, etc. parameters representing the rotation timing and rotation sequence of the inner drum.

[0103] In this embodiment, the implementation manners of steps S301-S304 are the same as those of steps S201-S204 in the embodiment shown in the present application Figure 2 The implementation manners of steps S301-S304 in this embodiment are the same as those of steps S201-S204 in the embodiment shown in the present application

[0104] In this embodiment, the drying machine automatically controls the rotation time and rotation sequence of the inner drum during the drying process according to the door lock state and the clothes state information, ensuring that the door will not be pushed open. This reduces the operation steps of the user in setting the drying machine to dry, and improves the user experience.

[0105] Figure 4 For Figure 3 As shown in the flowchart of step S305 in the embodiment shown in the present application; as shown in Figure 4 When the clothes state information includes the clothes occupied volume, which is used to represent the space occupied by the clothes in the inner drum of the drying machine, step S305 comprises the following steps:

[0106] Step S3051: determining a plurality of door pressure values according to the clothes occupied volume; the door pressure value represents the pressure of the clothes on the door when the inner drum rotates with different rotation timing.

[0107] Exemplarily, after the volume of the clothes is acquired, in one possible manner, the plurality of door pressure values corresponding to the current clothes volume can be determined according to historical information of the pressure on the door caused by different clothes volumes at different rotating speeds in the historical running process of the clothes dryer, wherein the plurality of door pressure values include the pressure values on the door caused by the current clothes volume at different inner drum timing.

[0108] Step S3052, determining the candidate pressure values matched with the door lock state information from the plurality of door pressure values.

[0109] Exemplarily, since the door lock state information is divided into the open state or the closed state, and different inner drum rotating timing can be set when the door lock is in the open state or the closed state, therefore, the plurality of candidate pressure values corresponding to the current door lock state of the door can be selected from the plurality of door pressure values determined.

[0110] Step S3053, determining the maximum door pressure value in the candidate pressure values as the maximum pressure value.

[0111] Exemplarily, the maximum door pressure value in the candidate pressure values is selected as the maximum pressure value, and the maximum pressure value is taken as the basis for determining the target parameter.

[0112] Step S3054, determining the rotating timing corresponding to the maximum pressure value as the target running parameter.

[0113] Exemplarily, after the maximum pressure value is acquired, the target running parameter of the clothes dryer can be further determined according to the mapping relationship between the maximum pressure value and the target running parameter.

[0114] For example, after a user puts clothes in, the dryer can automatically determine the door lock status, or the user can manually set the door lock status. When the dryer automatically determines the target operating parameters, it can determine multiple door pressure values ​​corresponding to the volume of clothes at different rotation times based on the volume of the clothes. Since the pressure of the clothes on the door is less when the door is open and slightly greater when the door is closed, it is necessary to further determine multiple alternative pressure values ​​corresponding to the door lock status. The maximum value among the alternative pressure values ​​is selected as the maximum pressure value. That is, when the door is open, the maximum pressure value among the alternative pressure values ​​corresponding to the door lock open state is selected; when the door is closed, the maximum pressure value among the alternative pressure values ​​corresponding to the door lock closed state is selected; and then the target operating parameters are determined based on the maximum pressure value. For example, when the volume of clothes is the same, if the door lock is closed, the target operating parameters determined based on the maximum pressure value can be: the dryer drum rotates clockwise for 2 minutes, pauses for 5 seconds, and then the dryer drum rotates counterclockwise for 2 minutes; if the door lock is open, the target operating parameters determined based on the maximum pressure value can be: the dryer drum rotates clockwise for 1 minute, pauses for 5 seconds, and then the dryer drum rotates counterclockwise for 1 minute, wherein the rotation mode of the dryer drum is both clockwise and counterclockwise.

[0115] In this embodiment, multiple door pressure values ​​corresponding to the volume of clothing can be determined based on the volume of the clothing during different rotation sequences. Further, multiple candidate pressure values ​​are determined based on the current door lock status. These candidate pressure values ​​represent the pressure of the clothing on the door under different dryer operating conditions in the current door lock state. These pressure values ​​are all under conditions where the door cannot be forced open. The highest pressure value is selected as the maximum pressure value, and finally, the target operating parameters of the dryer corresponding to the maximum pressure value are determined. Through this method, the target operating parameters corresponding to the maximum pressure value can be automatically determined while ensuring the door cannot be forced open, resulting in a faster drying process or more thorough drying of the clothes.
