Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of smart home appliances, for example, to a method and device for controlling a clothes drying machine, a clothes drying machine, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are many control schemes for clothes drying machines, from the most primitive manual lifting to the remote control lifting of electric clothes drying machines, and now there is the linkage lifting of smart clothes drying machines. The so-called linkage lifting means that after the washing machine finishes washing, it sends a command to the server or clothes drying machine, and the clothes drying machine automatically descends after receiving the command. Although this descent triggering method seems very natural, it also has inconveniences. For example, after washing, the user cannot hang the clothes immediately, and the clothes drying machine will also descend as usual, which may hinder the actions of family members. In addition, when there are other clothes on the clothes drying machine, it will block the light and cause the room to darken. Therefore, how to control the timing of the clothes drying machine's descent has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0003] The related technology controls the descent of the clothes drying machine by judging whether the user knocks on the observation window, front panel or housing of the washing machine when the user needs to dry clothes. The clothes drying machine can be lowered without going to the drying area to operate the clothes drying machine, which is convenient for users to dry clothes. Moreover, when the user issues a control instruction to knock on the washing machine, the clothes drying machine is controlled to descend, allowing the user to choose the time for the clothes drying machine to descend, so that the clothes drying machine can be controlled to descend when the user needs to dry clothes, making the time for the clothes drying machine to descend more accurate.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that there are at least the following problems in the related art:

[0005] The relevant technology is adopted to control the descent of the clothes drying machine by linkage with the washing machine, so that the timing of the descent of the clothes drying machine is more accurate and it is convenient for the user to wash and dry clothes. However, washing machines usually have multiple functions. If different control instructions are set for each function, it will increase the user's memory burden and cause trouble in operation. In order to facilitate user operation, one control instruction can be set to realize multiple functions, but this will cause conflicts between functions. For example, when the user wants to dry clothes and needs to control the descent of the clothes drying machine, the control instruction issued triggers the washing function of the washing machine, resulting in the scheme of controlling the washing of the washing machine or the descent of the clothes drying machine by one control instruction cannot be realized, and the corresponding functions can only be realized by different control instructions, which reduces the user experience.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, smart home appliances refer to home appliances that are formed by introducing microprocessors, sensor technology, and network communication technology into home appliances. They have the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent perception, and intelligent application. The operation process of smart home appliances often relies on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet, and electronic chips. For example, smart home appliances can be connected to electronic devices to enable users to remotely control and manage the smart home appliances.

[0033] In the disclosed embodiments, the terminal device refers to an electronic device with a wireless connection function. The terminal device can communicate with the above-mentioned smart home appliances by connecting to the Internet, or can communicate with the above-mentioned smart home appliances directly through Bluetooth, WiFi, etc. In some embodiments, the terminal device is, for example, a mobile device, a computer, or a vehicle-mounted device built into a hover car, or any combination thereof. Mobile devices may include, for example, mobile phones, smart home devices, wearable devices, smart mobile devices, virtual reality devices, etc., or any combination thereof, wherein wearable devices include, for example: smart watches, smart bracelets, pedometers, etc.

[0034] The embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a clothes drying system, including a washing machine, a clothes drying rack and a processor, wherein the processor is electrically connected to the clothes drying rack and the washing machine respectively.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a clothes drying machine, comprising:

[0036] S01, the processor responds to the target control instruction and determines whether the target control instruction is correct.

[0037] S02: When the target control instruction is correct, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend or controls the washing machine to wash according to the current state of the washing machine.

[0038] Among them, the target control instruction is used to control the clothes drying machine to descend or control the washing machine to wash.

[0039] The method for controlling a clothes drying machine provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted, and in response to the target control instruction, it is determined whether the target control instruction is correct. When the target control instruction is correct, the clothes drying machine is controlled to descend or the washing machine is controlled to wash according to the current state of the washing machine. By controlling the clothes drying machine to descend or the washing machine to wash with one control instruction, the user's memory burden is reduced, and it is convenient for the user to perform laundry or drying operations. In addition, by monitoring the state of the washing machine, it can be determined whether the user needs to wash clothes or dry clothes, thereby making the function execution more accurate, avoiding function conflicts, and improving the user experience.

[0040] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a clothes drying machine, comprising:

[0041] S21, the processor responds to the target control instruction and determines whether the target control instruction is correct according to the intensity, knocking interval and knocking position of the user knocking on the washing machine.

[0042] S02: When the target control instruction is correct, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend or controls the washing machine to wash according to the current state of the washing machine.

[0043] Among them, the target control instruction includes the user knocking on the washing machine a set number of times. The set number of times can be any number, for example, once, twice or three times, etc. By setting the set number of times to two or more times, the characteristics of each knock can be compared to avoid the situation where the user triggers it by mistake. The set number of knocks specifically triggers the execution program of the washing machine or the execution program of the clothes drying machine by making sounds such as knocking on the observation window, front panel or shell of the washing machine. For example, two consecutive knocks are used to trigger the washing machine to start up, select a common program and start running; knocking on the washing machine twice in a row triggers the descent program of the clothes drying machine, etc.

[0044] Using the method for controlling a clothes drying machine provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the processor determines whether the target control instruction is correct according to the intensity, knocking interval and knocking position of the user knocking on the washing machine. By knocking on the washing machine to control the washing of the washing machine or the lowering of the clothes drying machine, the user can control the washing machine or the clothes drying machine more conveniently and in a more natural way. In addition, by comparing the characteristics of different user knocks, it is also possible to avoid user mis-triggering, which may cause the washing machine or the clothes drying machine to misoperate, thereby improving the accuracy of the clothes drying machine control.

[0045] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a clothes drying machine, comprising:

[0046] S31, the processor responds to the target control instruction and obtains the intensity error, interval time and position spacing of each time the user taps the washing machine.

[0047] S32: When the intensity error is less than the first threshold, the interval time is less than the second threshold, and the position spacing is less than the third threshold, the processor determines that the target control instruction is correct.

[0048] S02: When the target control instruction is correct, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend or controls the washing machine to wash according to the current state of the washing machine.

[0049] Using the method for controlling a clothes drying machine provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, the processor obtains the intensity error, interval time, and position spacing of each time the user taps the washing machine in response to the target control instruction. The processor determines that the target control instruction is correct when the intensity error is less than the first threshold, the interval time is less than the second threshold, and the position spacing is less than the third threshold. By judging the interval time, tapping position, and tapping intensity of the tapping, it is possible to determine whether the tapping behavior is a control instruction issued by the user. Only when the tapping load setting is regular, it is determined that the user has issued a control instruction, thereby avoiding false triggering of the washing machine and the clothes drying machine.

[0050] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a clothes drying machine, comprising:

[0051] S01, the processor responds to the target control instruction and determines whether the target control instruction is correct.

[0052] S41, when the target control instruction is correct, the processor determines the user demand according to the current state of the washing machine.

[0053] S42, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend or controls the washing machine to wash according to the user's demand.

[0054] With the method for controlling a clothes drying machine provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the processor determines the user's needs according to the current state of the washing machine when the target control instruction is correct, and controls the clothes drying machine to descend or controls the washing machine to wash according to the user's needs. The user's needs are determined by the state of the washing machine, and operations that meet the user's needs are performed based on the target control instruction, realizing a solution of controlling multiple functions through one control instruction, facilitating user operation and improving user experience.

[0055] Combination Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a clothes drying machine, comprising:

[0056] S01, the processor responds to the target control instruction and determines whether the target control instruction is correct.

[0057] S51, when the target control instruction is correct, the processor determines whether the washing process is finished.

[0058] S52: When the washing process is finished, the processor determines whether there is a door-closing action.

[0059] S53: When the door is closed again, the processor determines that the user needs to wash clothes.

[0060] S54: When the door re-closing action does not occur, the processor determines the user demand according to the state of the door cover of the washing machine.

[0061] S42, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend or controls the washing machine to wash according to the user's demand.

[0062] Using the method for controlling a clothes drying machine provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, the processor determines whether the washing process is finished when the target control instruction is correct. When the washing process is finished, it is determined whether there is a door-closing action. When the door-closing action exists, it means that the user has closed the door cover of the washing machine again after the previous washing process ended, which means that the user has put new clothes to be washed into the washing machine, so it is determined that the user has a need for washing clothes. When the door-closing action does not exist, it means that the user does not need to wash again, but it is still impossible to determine whether the user needs to dry clothes at this time, so the user may be doing other things and did not open the door cover of the washing machine in time, or may have opened the door cover and need to dry clothes. Therefore, it is still necessary to determine the user's needs based on the state of the door cover of the washing machine.

[0063] Optionally, the processor determines the user demand according to the state of the door cover of the washing machine, including: the processor determines that the user has a demand for drying clothes when the door cover is in an open state; the processor determines that the user has a demand for storage when the door cover is in a closed state.

[0064] In this way, when the door cover is in the open state, the processor determines that the user has a need to dry clothes, because the door cover is open and the user has not closed the door cover again to wash again. When the door cover is in the closed state, the door cover of the washing machine is in the closed state and there is no action of opening and then closing again, so it can be determined that the user has not taken out the washed clothes, thereby determining that the user has a need to store.

[0065] Optionally, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend or controls the washing machine to wash according to user demand, including: the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend when the user demand is for drying clothes or for storing clothes; the processor controls the washing machine to wash when the user demand is for washing clothes.

[0066] In this way, when the user needs to dry clothes or store clothes, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend. When the user needs to wash clothes, the processor controls the washing machine to wash. It is convenient for users to control the clothes drying machine to descend or the washing machine to wash clothes through one control instruction, and by monitoring the status of the washing machine, conflicts between functions are avoided, thereby improving the user experience.

[0067] Optionally, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend when the user demand is for drying clothes or for storing clothes, including: when the user demand is for drying clothes, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend according to the distance between the washing machine and the clothes drying machine; when the user demand is for storing clothes, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend according to the time when the washing machine door cover is opened and the distance between the washing machine and the clothes drying machine.

[0068] In this way, when the user demand is for drying clothes, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend according to the distance between the washing machine and the clothes drying machine. The distance between the washing machine and the clothes drying machine makes the timing of the clothes drying machine descending more accurate. When the user demand is for storage, the clothes drying machine is controlled to descend according to the time when the washing machine door cover is opened and the distance between the washing machine and the clothes drying machine. When the door cover is opened, the user's storage demand ends and he is ready to go to the clothes drying machine to dry clothes. At this time, the distance between the washing machine and the clothes drying machine makes the timing of the clothes drying machine descending more accurate.

[0069] Optionally, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend according to the distance between the washing machine and the clothes drying machine, including: the processor determines a first time duration for the user to get from the washing machine to the clothes drying machine according to the distance between the washing machine and the clothes drying machine; and the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend when the first time duration has passed.

[0070] The first duration can be determined based on the weight of the clothes, the user characteristics and the environmental characteristics. For example, based on the preset corresponding relationship, the duration corresponding to the weight of the clothes, the user characteristics and the environmental characteristics is determined, and the duration is determined as the first duration. The user characteristics include the user's race, gender, age, height and other human characteristics that affect the user's walking speed, and the environmental characteristics include the path from the area where the washing machine is located to the area where the clothes drying machine is located, the number of doors on the path, the switch status of the door and other environmental factors that affect the user's walking speed.

[0071] In this way, the processor determines the first time duration that the user takes to get from the washing machine to the clothes dryer based on the distance between the washing machine and the clothes dryer, and when the first time duration has passed, it can be determined that the user has reached the clothes dryer from the washing machine, thereby controlling the clothes dryer to descend, thereby improving the accuracy of the timing of the clothes dryer's descent.

[0072] Optionally, the processor controls the clothes dryer to descend according to the time when the washing machine door cover is opened and the distance between the washing machine and the clothes dryer, including: when the washing machine door cover is opened, the processor determines the second time length for the user to get from the washing machine to the clothes dryer according to the distance between the washing machine and the clothes dryer; when the second time length has passed, the processor controls the clothes dryer to descend.

[0073] In this way, when the washing machine door cover is opened, the processor can determine that the user is ready to hang clothes. The processor determines the second time length for the user to get from the washing machine to the clothes drying machine according to the distance between the washing machine and the clothes drying machine, and when the second time length has passed, it can be determined that the user has reached the clothes drying machine from the washing machine, so the clothes drying machine is controlled to descend, thereby improving the accuracy of the timing of the clothes drying machine's descent.

[0074] Optionally, the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend, including: the processor determines a target height of the clothes drying machine according to user characteristics; the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend according to the target height; wherein the user characteristics include the height and type of the user.

[0075] In this way, since a clothes drying machine that is too high will make it inconvenient for users to dry clothes, and if it is too low, it may cause clothes to drag on the ground, causing freshly washed clothes to become dirty, so the user's height is closely related to the user's experience of drying clothes. In addition, different types of users have different requirements for clothes drying machines when drying clothes. For example, the elderly are different from young people. The elderly may be hunched over. If they need to stand up to dry clothes, they may feel uncomfortable. The height of the clothes drying machine can be appropriately lowered. Therefore, the processor determines the target height of the clothes drying machine based on the user's characteristics; the processor controls the clothes drying machine to descend according to the target height, so that the height of the clothes drying machine can be adapted to the type and height of the user, thereby improving the experience of various types of users.
