[0047] ​​​The existing clothes care machine adopts the mode of top hot air inlet and bottom air return to dry clothes. However, such structure cannot accurately control the drying degree, resulting in that when the lower part of clothes is not dried, the upper half of clothes is already dried. For expensive clothes such as mink, it will cause local over-drying of clothes and cause damage to clothes.

[0048] To solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a clothes drying method and a clothes care machine, which realizes accurate drying of each part of clothes according to the size of clothes.

[0049] Figure 1 The structural diagram of the clothes care machine provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figures 2-4 The clothes care machine includes a box body 101 for accommodating clothes;

[0050] A plurality of air doors 102 are arranged on one side of the box body from top to bottom, and a plurality of temperature sensors 103 are arranged on the other side of the box body from top to bottom correspondingly;

[0051] The box body 101 is further provided with a processor 104 and a memory 105, the memory 104 stores computer execution instructions; the processor 105 executes the computer execution instructions stored in the memory 104, so that the processor 104 is executed to realize the clothes drying method provided by any embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The clothes drying method provided by any embodiment of the present application;

[0052] In some embodiments, the bottom of the box body 101 is provided with a filter screen 106, an evaporator 107, a condenser 108 and a fan 109;

[0053] The filter screen 106 is arranged below the temperature sensor 103, the fan 109 is arranged below the air door 102, the evaporator 107 is arranged close to the filter screen 106, and the condenser 108 is arranged close to the fan 109;

[0054] In some embodiments, the temperature sensor is an infrared temperature measurement sensor.

[0055] In some embodiments, the other side of the box body is provided with an air duct 110, and the plurality of air doors 102 are arranged on the side of the air duct 110 facing the inside of the box body 101;

[0056] The air duct 110 communicates with the fan 109, and is used to transmit the air blown by the fan 109 to the air door.

[0057] Specifically, when the clothes care machine is in operation, the damper is opened and closed by the step motor. The fan 109 blows dry air into the air duct 110, and the dry air flows along the air duct 110, enters the cabinet 101 through the opened damper 102, and after heat and mass transfer with the clothes 10, the wet air enters the heat pump shell through the filter screen 106. The temperature sensor 103 measures the temperature of different parts of the clothes. After the wet air is cooled and dehumidified by the evaporator 107, the temperature is increased by the condenser 108, and the fan 109 blows into the air duct 110 to complete a cycle.

[0058] In some embodiments, the number of temperature sensors 103 and dampers 102 is the same, the temperature sensors 103 are arranged at a first equal interval in the longitudinal direction, and the dampers 102 are arranged at a second equal interval in the longitudinal direction, and the first equal interval is the same as the second equal interval.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 , in the cabinet 101, at least three temperature sensors 103 correspond to at least three dampers 102 one by one, and the three temperature sensors 103 are arranged at a first equal interval in the longitudinal direction, and the three dampers 102 are arranged at a second equal interval in the longitudinal direction, and the first equal interval is the same as the second equal interval; for example, the temperature sensor 103a corresponds to the damper 102a, the temperature sensor 103b corresponds to the damper 102b, and the temperature sensor 103c corresponds to the damper 102c.

[0060] In this embodiment, by arranging the same number of temperature sensors 103 and dampers 102 at equal intervals, the cabinet 101 is divided into several regions of equal volume, so as to determine the length type and drying degree of the clothes according to the temperature of the several regions, realize precise drying, save energy, and avoid damage to the clothes.

[0061] Figure 1 The flowchart of the clothes drying method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 2 . The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 2 .

[0062] S101, after detecting that the clothes are put into the cabinet, the temperature detected by each temperature sensor is obtained;

[0063] After the clothes are put into the cabinet, the cabinet door is closed, and the care machine detects whether there are clothes in the cabinet. The detection means here can be various, including but not limited to gravity sensing, light sensing, etc., and the present embodiment does not limit the detection means here. After detecting that the clothes are put into the cabinet, each temperature sensor automatically detects the temperature to obtain the detected temperature value.

[0064] S102, control at least part of the dampers to open according to the temperature detected by each temperature sensor, so as to dry the clothes, wherein the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is used to indicate the length type of the clothes;

[0065] The length type of the clothes refers to a plurality of numerical ranges corresponding to the size length of the clothes;

[0066] The clothes care machine compares the temperature values detected by each temperature sensor, determines the length type of the clothes according to the equal relationship of the temperature values detected by each sensor, controls at least part of the dampers to open according to the mapping relationship between the length type of the clothes and the opening and closing state of each damper, so that hot air blows into the cabinet through the opened dampers, and the clothes are dried.

[0067] The clothes drying method provided by the embodiment detects the temperature of each temperature sensor after detecting that the clothes are put into the cabinet, controls at least part of the dampers to open according to the temperature detected by each temperature sensor, so as to dry the clothes, wherein the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is used to indicate the length type of the clothes, and the opened dampers are determined according to the size of the clothes, so that the clothes are accurately dried in each part according to the size of the clothes.

[0068] Figure 4 Flowchart of the clothes drying method provided by the embodiment Figure 3 The embodiment describes in detail how to open the target damper according to the size of the clothes on the basis of the above embodiment;

[0069] S201, obtain the target temperature sensor with the same temperature in the order of the temperature sensor from top to bottom;

[0070] The clothes care machine compares the temperature values detected by each temperature sensor in the order of the temperature sensor from top to bottom, and determines the target temperature sensor with the same temperature according to the comparison result;

[0071] For example, the temperature value detected by the first temperature sensor from top to bottom is t1, the temperature value detected by the second temperature sensor from top to bottom is t2, and the temperature value detected by the first temperature sensor from top to bottom is t3; the clothes care machine first compares t1 and t2; if t1 and t2 are the same, then t1 and t3 are compared; if t1 and t2 are different, then t2 and t3 are compared.

[0072] If t1=t2=t3, then the three temperature sensors are all target temperature sensors with the same temperature;

[0073] If t1=t2, and t1 is different from t3, the first sensor from top to bottom and the second sensor from top to bottom are target temperature sensors with the same temperature;

[0074] If t1 is different from t2, and t2 is the same as t3, the second sensor from top to bottom and the third sensor from top to bottom are target temperature sensors with the same temperature.

[0075] S202, according to the area where the target temperature sensor is located, controlling at least part of the dampers to open.

[0076] According to the positions of the temperature sensors and the dampers in the cabinet, the area inside the cabinet is divided, each area corresponds to at least one temperature sensor and at least one damper, and the area is the area where the target sensor and the target damper are located;

[0077] According to the order from top to bottom of each area, the areas are sorted;

[0078] For example, the area where the first temperature sensor from top to bottom and the first damper are located is the first area, the area where the second temperature sensor from top to bottom and the second damper are located is the second area, and the area where the third temperature sensor from top to bottom and the third damper are located is the third area.

[0079] In a possible implementation, if the area where the target temperature sensor is located is the first area and the second area, the dampers in the first area and the second area are controlled to open;

[0080] If the area where the target temperature sensor is located is the first area, the second area and the third area, the dampers in the first area, the second area and the third area are controlled to open;

[0081] If the area where the target temperature sensor is located is the second area and the third area, the dampers in the first area are controlled to open.

[0082] If the area where the target temperature sensor is located is the first area and the second area, it means that the length of the clothes is medium, the clothes are hung in the range of the first area and the second area, and there is no clothes in the range of the third area. Opening the dampers in the first area and the second area can ensure that the whole clothes are dried;

[0083] If the area where the target temperature sensor is located is the first area, the second area and the third area, it means that the length of the clothes is large, the clothes are hung in the range of the first area, the second area and the third area, and the dampers in the first area, the second area and the third area need to be opened to ensure that the whole clothes are dried;

[0084] If the target temperature sensor is located in the second region and the third region, it indicates that the length of the clothes is small, the clothes are located in the first region when being hung, and there is no clothes in the second region and the third region, so only the air door in the first region is opened to ensure the overall drying of the clothes.

[0085] The clothes drying method provided by the embodiment determines the target sensor according to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor, controls the opening of the air door in the corresponding region according to the region where the target temperature sensor is located, and realizes the opening of the air door in the target region according to the size of the clothes, thereby ensuring uniform heating of the clothes and improving the drying efficiency and saving energy.

[0086] Figure 5 The flowchart of the clothes drying method provided by the embodiment Figure 5 ;

[0087] The embodiment details the process of how to determine the drying degree of each region of the clothes after the air door is opened to dry the clothes and how to determine the running state of the air door in each region according to the drying degree of each region of the clothes.

[0088] S301, obtaining the temperature of each target temperature sensor;

[0089] Each target temperature sensor automatically detects the temperature every certain preset time length, for example, the period of one air circulation of the clothes care machine, to obtain the detected temperature value.

[0090] S302, judging whether the temperature of the target temperature sensor exceeds a preset threshold value;

[0091] The clothes care machine compares the temperature value detected by the target temperature sensor with the preset threshold value to determine whether the temperature value exceeds the preset threshold value.

[0092] S303, if the preset threshold value is not exceeded, the air door belonging to the same region as the target temperature sensor is kept open;

[0093] If the temperature value detected by a certain target temperature sensor does not exceed the preset threshold value, the air door belonging to the same region as the target temperature sensor is kept open; for example, the temperature value detected by the second temperature sensor from top to bottom is t2, t2 does not exceed the preset threshold value t0, and the air door belonging to the same region as the second temperature sensor is kept open.

[0094] S304, if the preset threshold value is exceeded, the air door belonging to the same region as the target temperature sensor is closed to stop drying the clothes until all the air doors are closed;

[0095] If the temperature value detected by a target temperature sensor exceeds a preset threshold, the air door belonging to the same region as the target temperature sensor is closed; for example, the temperature value detected by the third temperature sensor from top to bottom is t3, t3 exceeds the preset threshold t0, the air door belonging to the same region as the third temperature sensor is closed, and the detection of the third temperature sensor is stopped; and the same applies to all air doors until all air doors are closed.

[0096] The laundry drying method provided by the embodiment determines the drying degree of each region of the laundry according to the temperature of each region of the laundry, and determines the operation state of the air door of each region until the laundry is completely dried according to the drying degree of each region of the laundry, so that the laundry in each region is accurately dried, and damage to the laundry caused by over-drying of the laundry in a local region is avoided.
