[0026] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a towel processing method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to a towel rack including a towel rod, on which a plurality of obstruction identification devices and a plurality of sterilization devices are provided. Figure 1 As shown, the towel processing method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include:

[0027] S101: A main controller receives a signal recognized by an occlusion recognition device.

[0028] A plurality of occlusion recognition devices may be arranged along the length of the towel bar to detect which area on the towel bar is covered by a towel. The signal strength of the occlusion recognition device being blocked is different. When the corresponding area of ​​the towel bar where the occlusion recognition device is located is covered by a towel, an occlusion signal with a set strength value will be output. Based on the occlusion recognition device that outputs the occlusion signal, it can be determined which area on the towel bar is covered by the towel, and the covering area of ​​the towel bar on which the towel to be processed is determined.

[0029] In one example, a main controller may be provided on the towel rack, and the main controller is electrically connected to each occlusion recognition device and each sterilization device to execute the operation of the towel treatment method. The main controller may be provided on the towel rack, and the main controller serves as the execution subject of the towel treatment method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and receives the occlusion signal recognized by the occlusion recognition device through the main controller, and controls the start or shut down of the sterilization device.

[0030] In one example, the main controller may be a household centralized controller, and the occlusion recognition device and the sterilization device on the towel rod communicate wirelessly with the central controller. The occlusion recognition device and the sterilization device on the towel rod may communicate with the centralized controller via an integrated or separate wireless communication module. The centralized controller serves as the execution subject of the towel processing method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and receives the occlusion signal recognized by the occlusion recognition device through the centralized controller, and controls the start or shut down of the sterilization device.

[0031] In one example, the occlusion recognition device may include an infrared sensor.

[0032] S102: When the identified signal includes a blocking signal, the main controller controls the sterilization device in the towel covering area corresponding to the blocking signal to start, and the unstarted sterilization device outside the towel covering area is in a closed state, so as to sterilize the towels to be processed on the towel rod.

[0033] When the towel bar covers the area with towels, the sterilization device in the corresponding covered area is turned on, and the sterilization device in the uncovered area remains off. Through the coverage recognition technology, the sterilization device is only turned on in the area covered by the towel, which can avoid direct exposure of the sterilization device and improve safety; and there is no need to install a human body sensor, which can avoid the scene where people frequently come and go near the towel rack, which will cause the problem of the UV sterilization function not being able to start normally.

[0034] The correspondence between the obstruction recognition device and the sterilization device can be pre-set on the towel rod. The obstruction recognition device and the sterilization device can correspond one to one, or the obstruction recognition device and the sterilization device can correspond many to many, or one to many. When a towel covers the towel rod, by determining which obstruction recognition devices recognize the obstruction signal and starting the corresponding sterilization device, it is possible to control the sterilization device in the towel covering area corresponding to the obstruction signal to start, and control the sterilization device outside the towel covering area to shut down, thereby avoiding unnecessary harm to the human body caused by the exposure of the sterilization device.

[0035] The sterilization device is installed on the towel rod, which can effectively improve the sterilization effect of the sterilization device and avoid the problem that the sterilization device is installed on the main body of the towel rack, where there is a distance between the sterilization device and the towel rod, resulting in a better sterilization effect on the side close to the sterilization device and a poor sterilization effect on the side far from the sterilization device.

[0036] In one example, the sterilization device may include: an ultraviolet lamp or an ultraviolet light-emitting diode (LED) lamp bead.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, controlling the sterilization device in the towel coverage area corresponding to the shielding signal to start may include:

[0038] The sterilization device within a preset range in the towel-covered area is controlled to start, and the preset range is an area within a range of 5%-10% excluding the two ends of the towel-covered area.

[0039] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of towel processing provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sterilization device may include: an ultraviolet LED lamp. The coverage area that meets the predetermined conditions can be sterilized. After the coverage area (which can be called the shielding area) is identified, the ultraviolet lamp is not turned on within the range of 5%-10% at both ends of the coverage area; the ultraviolet lamp is turned on in the coverage area other than the range of 5%-10% at both ends of the coverage area, so as to avoid the ultraviolet light at the edge of the towel rack from being exposed.

[0040] The towel processing method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure uses the covering recognition technology to activate the sterilization device only in the area covered by the towel, thereby avoiding direct exposure of the sterilization device and improving safety. It is also possible to avoid the problem that the ultraviolet sterilization function cannot be started normally due to frequent entry and exit of people near the towel rack without installing a human body sensor. The sterilization device is installed on the towel rod, which can effectively improve the sterilization effect of the sterilization device and avoid the problem that the sterilization device is installed on the main body of the towel rack, and the sterilization effect is better on the side close to the sterilization device due to a distance from the towel rod, and the sterilization effect is poor on the side away from the sterilization device.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of obstruction identification devices and a plurality of sterilization devices are arranged in groups in the length direction of the towel rod, and a group may include at least one obstruction identification device and at least one sterilization device, and the obstruction identification device and the sterilization device of the same group are respectively located at the upper end and the lower end of the towel rod. The upper end refers to the end away from the ground, and the lower end refers to the end close to the ground.

[0042] The correspondence between the obstruction recognition device and the sterilization device can be pre-set on the towel rod. The obstruction recognition device and the sterilization device can correspond one to one, or the obstruction recognition device and the sterilization device can correspond many to many, or one to many.

[0043] Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram of a towel rack provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the occlusion identification device can be located at the upper end of the towel rod (such as Figure 3 The sterilization device can be located at the lower end of the towel rod, so that the sterilization device can sterilize the towels to be treated at a close distance, and can sterilize the towels hanging under the towel rod, thereby improving the sterilization effect.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3 As shown, at least one humidity sensor is also provided on the towel bar, and the humidity value of the towel to be processed covered on the towel bar is detected by the humidity sensor.

[0045] In one example, the humidity sensor can be disposed at the upper end of the towel bar. Figure 3 Humidity sensing identification area shown.

[0046] Before the sterilization device in the towel covering area corresponding to the blocking signal is started, the method may further include:

[0047] The humidity value detected by the humidity sensor is obtained; when the humidity value is less than the set threshold value, the sterilization device in the towel covering area corresponding to the occlusion signal is controlled to start.

[0048] By combining the coverage detection and humidity detection, the sterilization function is activated when the towel is covered and the towel humidity meets the requirements. After the user places the towel on the towel bar, the towel rack can be disinfected automatically without any other operations. And through humidity detection, when the towel humidity reaches a certain threshold, the ultraviolet sterilization is turned on, which can effectively improve the sterilization effect of the sterilization device.

[0049] In one example, when the humidity of the towel meets the threshold for activating the sterilization device, such as when the humidity value of the towel is less than the set threshold, the covering time of the towel on the towel bar is determined, and when the covering time of the towel rack meets the triggering event for activating the sterilization device, such as when the covering time of the towel rack is greater than the set time threshold, the sterilization device is automatically activated. The sterilization can be activated only when the covering time of the towel exceeds the effective blocking time, which can avoid false triggering caused by short-term false blocking.

[0050] In one example, the sterilization time of the sterilization device can be pre-configured, such as configuring the default sterilization time to be 15 minutes. After the main controller controls the sterilization device to start, the sterilization device automatically turns off after the default sterilization time has passed, so that the sterilization device can be automatically turned off after the sterilization is completed.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when the humidity value is greater than or equal to a set threshold, the towel to be processed is dried.

[0052] By combining the covering detection and the humidity detection, when the towel is covered and the towel humidity meets the drying start threshold, the drying is started. The drying implementation principle of the towel bar is the same as that of the existing solution, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited or elaborated here.

[0053] A humidity sensor and an occlusion recognition device can be configured at the top of the towel bar. When the occlusion recognition device detects that the towel is covered and the towel humidity meets the set drying start threshold, such as the towel humidity value is greater than or equal to the set threshold, the drying function is turned on. The occlusion and humidity threshold detection and recognition are used to automatically start drying, avoiding the need for users to pre-set the time, resulting in the problem that the preset time is too long or too short and the towel is not completely dried.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, before drying the towel to be treated, the method may further include:

[0055] The covering time of the towel to be processed on the towel rod is determined according to the signal recognized by the occlusion recognition device; when the covering time is greater than or equal to the set time threshold, the towel to be processed is dried.

[0056] The effective shielding time can be set. When the towel is covered for longer than the effective shielding time, the drying is started to avoid false triggering caused by short-term false shielding. The covering time of the towel on the towel rod can be determined according to the signal recognized by the shielding recognition device. The implementation principle is the same as that of the existing solution, and this embodiment will not be limited or elaborated here.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, after the towel to be treated is dried, the following steps may also be included:

[0058] Obtain the humidity value detected by the humidity sensor; when the humidity value is less than the set threshold, stop drying; after stopping drying, control the sterilization device in the towel coverage area corresponding to the occlusion signal to start, so as to sterilize the towel to be treated.

[0059] By combining cover detection and humidity detection, when the towel is covered and the towel humidity meets the drying shutdown threshold, the drying function is turned off and the sterilization function is turned on. By using occlusion and humidity threshold detection and identification, the drying function is automatically started or stopped. And through humidity detection, the drying function is turned on first, and when the humidity of the towel (or towel rack) reaches a certain threshold, the sterilization device is turned on, which can effectively improve the sterilization effect of the sterilization device.

[0060] Figure 4 A flowchart of a towel processing method provided by another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, towel treatment methods may include:

[0061] S401: Detect whether the towel is covered and whether the humidity meets the drying start threshold. If yes, execute S402; otherwise, continue to detect.

[0062] S402: Start drying, and after reaching the drying shut-off threshold, shut down drying.

[0063] By combining cover detection and humidity detection, drying is started when the towel is covered and the towel humidity meets the drying start threshold. Drying is stopped when it is detected that the towel humidity reaches the drying shut-off threshold.

[0064] S403: Identify the coverage area and activate the sterilization device in the coverage area.

[0065] After the towel drying is turned off, the sterilization function is turned on. When the towel bar is covered with towels for sterilization, the sterilization device (such as ultraviolet LED lamp) in the covered area is turned on, and the sterilization device in the area of ​​the towel bar not covered by the towel remains turned off.

[0066] The towel processing method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure detects humidity and starts drying first. When the humidity of the towel reaches a certain threshold, the sterilization device is turned on, which can effectively improve the sterilization effect of the sterilization device.

[0067] Figure 5 A flowchart of a towel processing method provided by another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, towel treatment methods may include:

[0068] S501: Determine whether towel covering is detected. If so, execute S502; otherwise, continue detection.

[0069] S502: Determine whether the humidity meets the drying start threshold. If so, execute S503; otherwise, execute S506.

[0070] S503: Execute drying.

[0071] S504: Check whether the humidity meets the drying off threshold. If so, execute S505; otherwise, execute S503.

[0072] S505: Turn off drying.

[0073] S506: Perform disinfection (sterilization).

[0074] S507: Determine whether the preset disinfection time has been reached. If so, execute S508; otherwise, execute S506.

[0075] S508: Turn off disinfection.

[0076] Through humidity detection, the drying is turned on first. When the humidity of the towel reaches a certain threshold, the sterilization device is turned on. The sterilization device will be configured with a default sterilization time such as 15 minutes. When the sterilization is completed, the sterilization is automatically turned off. End the whole process.
