Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electric towel rack control, and in particular to a method, system, device and storage medium for preventing accidental touch of an electric towel rack. Background Art

[0002] As people's pursuit of life becomes higher and higher, electric towel racks have been launched in recent years. Electric towel racks can be used to heat wet towels hanging on the towel rack to speed up the drying of towels, reduce the reproduction of bacteria on the towels, and achieve the effect of antibacterial or even sterilization.

[0003] Existing electric towel racks are all connected to a touch panel for controlling the operating status of the electric towel rack. Users can set the on / off status, heating time, and heating temperature of the electric towel rack by pressing buttons on the touch panel. However, the existing touch panel is often placed below the electric towel rack. When a user places a wet towel on the towel rack, the wet towel naturally droops and sticks to the touch panel, causing the touch panel to be constantly triggered, which is prone to accidental touches and affects the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide an anti-accidental-touch method for an electric towel rack, which can effectively reduce the accidental touch of the main controller and improve the user experience.

[0006] A third object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device.

[0007] A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable storage medium.

[0008] One of the purposes of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0010] Receive the detection signal fed back by the detection module on the electric towel rack touch panel;

[0011] Determining whether a preset condition is met based on the detection signal, the preset condition including: a covering is placed on the electric towel rack close to the touch panel;

[0012] If so, the trigger module on the touch panel is locked, that is, the trigger signal sent by the trigger module is not responded to;

[0013] If not, the device responds to a trigger signal sent by the trigger module on the touch panel and performs a corresponding control operation according to the trigger signal.

[0014] Furthermore, the detection module includes an infrared photoelectric detection device connected to the main controller; wherein the infrared photoelectric detection device emits infrared light and generates a corresponding detection signal based on the reflected infrared light; the main controller determines whether there is a covering object close to the touch table based on the detection signal.

[0015] Furthermore, the detection module includes a distance detection device connected to the main controller, which detects the distance between the covering on the towel rack and the touch table through the distance detection device, and determines whether the covering is close to the touch table based on the distance;

[0016] Alternatively, the preset condition further includes: the distance between the cover and the touch table is less than a preset distance value; the distance between the cover and the touch table is detected by a distance detection device connected to the main controller;

[0017] When it is simultaneously satisfied that a cover is placed on the electric towel rack close to the touch panel and the distance between the cover and the touch panel is less than a preset distance, it is determined that the preset condition is satisfied.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0019] Receive the pressure signal transmitted by the pressure sensor on the towel rack;

[0020] The main controller determines whether a covering is placed on the towel rack based on the pressure signal sent by the pressure sensor.

[0021] Furthermore, the method further includes the step of triggering module lock release:

[0022] After the trigger module is locked, if it is determined based on the detection signal obtained by real-time detection that the preset condition is not met, the trigger module is unlocked, that is, it starts to respond to the trigger signal sent by the trigger module;

[0023] Alternatively, the drying time of the electric towel rack in the drying mode is recorded, and if the drying time exceeds a preset time, the trigger module is unlocked, that is, the trigger module starts to respond to the trigger signal sent by the trigger module;

[0024] When the trigger module is unlocked, the method also includes controlling the drying mode of the electric towel rack to be turned off.

[0025] The second object of the present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solution:

[0026] An anti-accidental touch system for an electric towel rack includes a main controller and a detection module and a trigger module arranged on a touch panel of the electric towel rack;

[0027] The main controller is connected to the detection module and is used to receive a detection signal fed back by the detection module; based on the detection signal, it is determined whether a preset condition is met, wherein the preset condition includes: a cover is placed on the electric towel rack close to the touch panel;

[0028] The main controller is connected to the trigger module. When it is determined based on the detection signal that the preset conditions are met, the trigger module is locked, that is, the trigger signal sent by the trigger module is not responded to; when it is determined based on the detection signal that the preset conditions are not met, the trigger signal sent by the trigger module is responded to and the corresponding control operation is performed according to the trigger signal.

[0029] Furthermore, the detection module includes an infrared photoelectric detection device and / or a distance detection device connected to the main controller;

When both the conditions of a cover placed on the electric towel rack close to the touch table and the distance between the cover and the touch table is less than the preset distance are met, the main controller determines that the preset condition is met.

[0032] Furthermore, the main controller is connected to a pressure sensor on the towel rack rod;

[0039] (1) The present invention detects the electric towel rack through a detection module on the touch table to determine whether there is a covering on the electric towel rack close to the touch table. If there is a covering on the electric towel rack close to the touch table, the trigger module is locked to avoid the situation where a wet towel is attached to the trigger module and causes an erroneous touch, thereby improving the user experience;

[0040] (2) The distance between the cover and the touch panel can be measured by the distance detection device, and the trigger module is locked only when the cover and the touch panel are too close, which can improve the locking accuracy;

[0041] (3) After the trigger module is locked, if it is determined based on the detection signal that the preset conditions are not met, the trigger module can be automatically unlocked, thereby avoiding the situation where normal touch control cannot occur and improving the practicality of the electric towel rack;

[0042] (4) The main controller of the present invention is connected to the pressure sensor provided on the towel rack rod. The main controller determines whether there is a covering on the towel rack and the covering is close to the touch table based on the pressure signal sent by the pressure sensor and the detection signal sent by the infrared photoelectric detection module, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the trigger module is mistakenly closed due to an object not on the towel rack being close to the touch table, thereby further improving the accuracy of the trigger module locking.

[0049] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] This embodiment provides a method for preventing accidental touch of an electric towel rack, which is applied to the main controller of the electric towel rack 1. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the main controller is set in the touch table 2, and the touch table 2 can be installed in the lower left / right corner of the towel rack; the main controller is connected to the electric heating circuit in the electric towel rack 1, and the main controller is used to control the electric heating circuit, thereby controlling the working state of the electric towel rack 1.

[0052] The anti-accidental touch method of the electric towel rack 1 of this embodiment is applied to the main controller. Figure 3 As shown, the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0053] Step S1: receiving a detection signal fed back by the detection module 21 on the electric towel rack touch panel 2;

[0054] Step S2: determining whether a preset condition is met based on the detection signal, wherein the preset condition includes: a cover is placed on the electric towel rack 1 and the cover is close to the touch panel 2;

[0055] If so, the trigger module is locked, that is, the trigger module does not respond to the trigger signal sent by the trigger module;

[0056] If not, the module responds to the trigger signal sent by the trigger module and performs the corresponding control operation according to the trigger signal.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the touch table 2 of this embodiment is provided with a trigger module, a display window 22 and a detection module 21; wherein, the trigger module includes a touch button 23, and the user can switch the working mode of the electric towel rack 1 by clicking different touch buttons 23, and at the same time, the heating time of the electric towel rack 1 is set by the touch button 23; the display window 22 is used to display the heating temperature of the electric towel rack 1, and can also be used to display the temperature and humidity parameters of the current environment; the detection module 21 is used to detect whether there is a covering on the electric towel rack 1, and the covering can be a towel, clothes, etc.

[0058] In this embodiment, the detection module 21 is an infrared photoelectric detection device, which can be an infrared pair of tubes, including an infrared transmitting tube and an infrared receiving tube; Figure 2 As shown, the detection module 21 is installed on the top of the touch table 2 and emits an infrared beam to the front of the touch table 2 to measure whether there is a cover on the electric towel rack 1 close to the touch table 2.

[0059] The detection module 21 is automatically activated when the electric towel rack 1 is powered on, or it can be activated by a user pressing the touch button 23 on the main controller. The infrared emitting tube of the detection module 21 emits infrared waves toward the front of the touch table 2. The infrared receiving tube receives the reflected infrared waves to determine whether the electric towel rack 1 is covered by a covering close to the touch table 2. In this embodiment, the infrared detection device's infrared light emission distance is selected based on the size of the towel, so that the infrared signal can reach the towel after it is hung on the towel rack. It should not be set too long to avoid the situation where a person in front of the towel rack will be detected as a towel blocking the infrared light.

[0060] In some embodiments, a pressure sensor is arranged on the crossbar of the electric towel rack 1. When a towel is placed on the electric towel rack 1, the pressure sensor detects a change in pressure data. If the pressure data detected exceeds a preset value, it means that there is a cover on the electric towel rack 1. At this time, the detection module 21 can be automatically activated to detect the cover on the electric towel rack 1 to determine whether the trigger module needs to be locked. This operation can ensure that in this embodiment, the trigger module is locked only when there is a cover on the electric towel rack and the cover is close to the touch table 2.

[0061] When there is no cover placed on the electric towel rack 1, or when there is a cover placed on the electric towel rack 1 but the touch panel 2 is not blocked by the cover, the trigger module can send a corresponding trigger signal according to the user operation, and the main controller responds to the trigger signal sent by the trigger module to perform a corresponding control operation; the control operation includes controlling the electric towel rack 1 to enter a drying mode, a sterilization mode, and a heating mode to achieve drying, sterilization, and heating effects for towels and other items.

[0062] like Figure 5As shown, the circuit structure used in the method for preventing accidental touches in this embodiment includes a main controller, a comparator, and a detection module 21. In this embodiment, the output of the comparator LM358 is connected to the main controller, which can be a single-chip microcomputer. The non-inverting input of the comparator is connected to the receiving unit of the detection module 21, namely, the infrared receiving tube VD2. The transmitting unit of the infrared photoelectric detection device transmits infrared waves in front of the main controller. When there is a covering on the electric towel rack 1 and it is close to the front of the touch panel 2, the infrared waves are reflected by the covering and then received by the receiving unit of the infrared photoelectric detection device. At this time, VD2 is in the on state, the voltage at the IN+ terminal of the comparator is 0V, and the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator is less than the voltage at the inverting input terminal, so the output is low. If there is no covering on the electric towel rack 1, the receiving unit may not be able to receive the reflected infrared wave, or the reflected infrared wave may be relatively weak. In this case, VD2 is in the off state, the voltage at the IN+ terminal of the comparator is 3.3V, and the voltage at the positive input terminal of the comparator is greater than the voltage at the negative input terminal, so the output is a high level. The main controller can determine whether there is a covering on the electric towel rack 1 close to the front of the touch panel 2 based on the high and low levels output by the comparator.

[0063] In some embodiments, the receiving unit of the detection module 21 can be directly connected to the single chip microcomputer, and the single chip microcomputer can process data to determine whether there is a covering on the electric towel rack 1 close to the front of the touch panel 2.

[0064] In some embodiments, the main controller can also add content to the preset conditions. Specifically, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the method for determining whether the current electric towel rack 1 meets the preset conditions can also be:

[0065] When it is detected that there is a covering on the electric towel rack 1, the distance between the covering and the touch panel 2 is measured using a distance detection device to determine whether the distance is less than a preset distance value. If so, it means that the distance between the covering and the touch panel 2 is too close, and the preset condition is met and the trigger module is locked. If the distance between the covering and the touch panel 2 is greater than the preset distance value, it means that there is still a certain distance between the covering and the touch panel 2. At this time, the trigger module can be unlocked because the presence of the covering does not affect the normal operation of the touch panel 2. Alternatively, the distance detection device can be used alone to directly determine whether there is a covering close to the touch panel 2 based on the distance between the covering and the touch panel detected by the distance detection device.

[0066] The distance detection device may be an ultrasonic detection device, an infrared distance detection device, or the like.

[0067] The touch panel 2 is locked and can only be unlocked and restored to normal operation when it receives a lock release signal. The lock release signal is generated by:

[0068] After the trigger module is locked, if it is determined based on the detection signal obtained by real-time detection that the preset condition is not met, it means that there is no covering on the electric towel rack 1 or the distance between the covering and the touch panel 2 is greater than the preset distance value. At this time, the lock release signal is automatically generated, and the lock of the trigger module is released, that is, it starts to respond to the trigger signal sent by the trigger module lock.

[0069] In some embodiments, when there is no covering on the electric towel rack 1 , the electric towel rack 1 can be controlled to automatically turn off its heating mode and end the heating operation to save electricity.

[0070] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the method for generating the lock release signal may also be:

[0071] The heating time of the electric towel rack 1 in heating mode is recorded. If the heating time exceeds a preset time, the lock release signal is automatically generated, thereby unlocking the touch panel 2. The preset value can be set according to a user-set timer or a default timer. When the heating time exceeds the preset timer, the towels on the electric towel rack 1 are substantially dry. At this point, the dry towels are very soft and will not cause accidental touches on the touch panel 2. Furthermore, when the heating time of the electric towel rack 1 exceeds the preset timer, the electric towel rack 1 can be controlled to automatically shut down its heating mode to save energy.

[0072] In some embodiments, the user can also send a lock release signal to the touch table 2 through a terminal APP that is connected to the main controller; in addition, the user can also send a setting instruction to the main controller through the terminal APP, so that the main controller can customize various trigger conditions, locking conditions and unlocking conditions according to the setting instructions to improve the user experience.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] This embodiment provides an anti-accidental touch system for an electric towel rack, which implements the anti-accidental touch method for the electric towel rack as described in Example 1. The system includes a main controller, a detection module 21 and a trigger module;

[0075] The main controller is connected to the detection module 21 and is used to receive the detection signal fed back by the detection module 21; based on the detection signal, it is determined whether a preset condition is met, and the preset condition includes: there is a cover on the electric towel rack 1;

[0076] The main controller is connected to the trigger module. When it is determined based on the detection signal that the preset conditions are met, the trigger module is locked, that is, the trigger signal sent by the trigger module is not responded to; when it is determined based on the detection signal that the preset conditions are not met, the trigger signal sent by the trigger module is responded to and the corresponding control operation is performed according to the trigger signal.

[0077] In this embodiment, the detection module 21 includes an infrared photoelectric detection device and / or a distance detection device connected to the main controller.

[0078] The infrared photoelectric detection device is used to emit infrared light, generate a corresponding detection signal based on the reflected infrared light, and send it to the main controller, which determines whether a covering object is close to the touch table 2 based on the detection signal.

[0079] The distance detection device is used to detect the distance between the cover and the touch table 2 and feed it back to the main controller; the main controller determines whether the cover is close to the touch table 2 based on the distance between the cover and the touch table 2. Alternatively, when the detection module 21 includes a distance detection device, the preset condition may also include: the distance between the cover and the touch table 2 is less than a preset distance value. When both the conditions of a cover placed on the electric towel rack 1 close to the touch table 2 and the distance between the cover and the touch table 2 is less than the preset distance are met, the main controller determines that the preset condition is met, that is, when the infrared photoelectric detection device detects that the cover is close to the touch table 2 and the distance detection device detects that the distance between the cover and the touch table 2 is less than the preset distance, the preset condition is met.

[0080] In this embodiment, the main controller is further connected to a pressure sensor on the towel rack rod, and is used to determine whether there is a covering on the towel rack based on a pressure signal sent by the pressure sensor.
