[0070] For the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application to be clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0071] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application and the technical effects produced by the technical solutions of the present application will be described below through the description of several exemplary embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments can be mutually referenced, borrowed or combined. For the same terms, similar features and similar implementation steps in different embodiments, they will not be described repeatedly.

[0072] First, the drying equipment involved in the embodiments of the present application and the possible environmental elements involved will be briefly described. For the limited cooperation structure required for method implementation, it will be explained simultaneously when the specific examples of method implementation are described.

[0073] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3a , the drying equipment includes a main body 1, a drying rod assembly 3 arranged below the main body 1, and a drying module 2 arranged based on the main body 1. Optionally, to realize the rising and falling of the drying rod assembly 3, a bracket assembly 4 can be arranged between the main body 1 and the drying rod assembly 3, and the lifting of the bracket assembly 4 can be controlled by the main body 1 to drive the rising or falling of the drying rod assembly 3.

[0074] The implementation of this application also involves a camera module and / or a sensor module. The camera module can be used to collect image information related to drying clothes. This application allows the camera module to be mounted on the upper side of the drying rod assembly 3, such as on the bottom of the main unit 1 or independently of the drying equipment. The sensor module can include at least one of a weighing unit, a humidity unit, and a wind direction and speed unit. Optionally, the sensor module can be deployed based on the main unit 1, the drying rod assembly 3, and / or the drying module 2, and each unit in the module can be deployed independently without interference. For example, the weighing unit can be mounted on the drying rod assembly 3 or integrated into the main unit 1; the humidity unit can be mounted on the bottom of the main unit 1, on the bottom of the drying rod assembly 3, or independently of the drying equipment within the area of ​​the balcony; the wind direction and speed unit can be mounted on the outward-facing side of the drying equipment, on the outside of the drying module 2, or on the balcony facing outwards. Optionally, the camera module and / or sensor module may also be included as structural components of the drying module 2.

[0075] The drying equipment can be equipped with a wireless communication module, which may include a WiFi module, Bluetooth module, etc. The drying equipment can then transmit information with a server and a linked client via this wireless communication module.

[0076] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drying module 2 may include a heating element 23 and a drying fan 24 disposed in the space formed by the outer shell 201 and the filter 202. In one example, during the operation of the drying module 2, air enters the inner cavity from the air inlet 21, is heated by the heating element 23, and then enters the air duct 22 between the drying fan 24 and the air guide shell 241, and then hot air is sent out through the air outlet 25.

[0077] The orientation of the air outlet of the drying module 2 can be changed by rotating the drying fan 24 or by rotating the air guide shell 241 of the drying fan 24. Optionally, the rotation of the drying fan 24 or the air guide shell 241 can be implemented by a motor. In one example, the rotation of the drying fan 24 without the air guide shell 241 directly changes the orientation of the air outlet of the drying module 2 by changing its own air outlet angle. In another example, an air duct 22 is formed between the drying fan 24 with the air guide shell 241 and the air guide shell 241, and the rotation of the air guide shell 241 indirectly changes the orientation of the air outlet of the drying module 2 by changing the air outlet angle of the air duct 22.

[0078] Optionally, the heat-generating component 23 can use a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient, a semiconductor material or component with a large positive temperature coefficient, also known as a thermistor) to heat the gas, and other heat-generating body elements can also be used.

[0079] Optionally, the drying module 2 can also include an air inlet fan 26. In some scenarios, due to the influence of wind pressure, wind speed, wind direction, etc., there may be a problem of air pressure imbalance when the air outlet 25 is out of air, making it difficult for the air inlet 21 to intake air. To balance the air pressure and avoid the problem of air resistance in the drying module 2, an air inlet fan 26 can be arranged on one side of the air inlet 21 to improve the air intake of the air inlet 21 and thus improve the drying efficiency.

[0080] The operation architecture of the drying equipment involved in the embodiments of the present application will be described below.

[0081] Figure 10 The operation architecture of the drying control method of the drying equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application is shown in the diagram, which can include a terminal 20, a server 10 and a drying equipment 40.

[0082] The terminal can include any terminal 20 running a client. The terminal (also referred to as a device) can be a smartphone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a smart voice interaction device (such as a smart speaker), a wearable electronic device (such as a smart watch), a vehicle-mounted terminal, a smart home appliance (such as a smart TV), an AR / VR device, etc., but is not limited thereto. Optionally, the terminal can also refer to a control device configured based on a home device, such as a remote controller that can load a client, etc.

[0083] The server 10 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or a distributed system (such as a distributed cloud storage system) composed of multiple physical servers, or a device that provides services in cooperation with an Internet of Things platform. Optionally, the server 10 can be used to execute the steps of the drying control method of the drying equipment provided in the present application, and the required data can be obtained through the drying equipment 40 or the terminal 20.

[0084] In an implementable embodiment, the terminal 20 and the server 10 can be directly or indirectly connected through wired or wireless communication, such as signal transmission through the network 30, which is not limited in the present application. Optionally, the running architecture can further include a database, which cooperates with the server 10 to provide data read-write services, such as storing data related to feature information, control information, and binding relationship. Optionally, the running architecture can further include an Internet of Things platform, which manages the binding and interaction between the drying equipment and the terminal through the Internet of Things platform. Optionally, in the application scenario suitable for drying control of the drying equipment, the client shown in the corresponding embodiment can be an application program APP loaded on the terminal and operated by the operating object.

[0085] The drying control method of the drying equipment in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below.

[0086] Specifically, the corresponding drying control method is described taking the execution subject as the drying equipment. As shown in Figure 1 The method includes the following steps S101-S102:

[0087] Step S101: Obtain feature information related to the drying clothes on the drying equipment through the camera module and / or the sensor module.

[0088] Among them, the image data or video data can be obtained through the camera module, and the feature information indicating the drying clothes in at least one image can be obtained through image recognition technology. It can be understood that, in order to reduce the resources consumed by frequent data transmission, the camera module can be provided with a processor, which can directly perform image recognition in the camera module when the image is collected, and transmit the corresponding feature information to the processor of the drying equipment after the feature information related to the drying clothes is recognized.

[0089] Among them, the feedback data related to the drying clothes can be obtained through the sensor module, and the feature information can be obtained by analyzing the feedback data. It can be understood that the sensor module can include multiple units, such as a weighing unit, a humidity unit, and a wind direction and speed unit, etc. Each unit can be provided with a processor to process the data collected by itself; or a processor can be uniformly arranged in the sensor module, and the data collected by each unit is uniformly transmitted to the processor in the module unit for data processing.

[0090] Optionally, the camera module and the sensor module can also be used only for data collection. After the corresponding data is collected, the feature extraction operation can be performed in the processor in the drying equipment unit to obtain the feature information corresponding to the drying clothes.

[0091] Step S102: determining control information for controlling the operation of the drying module based on the feature information, the control information including information related to the rotation of the drying fan.

[0092] Wherein, after determining the control information based on the feature information, the processor can send the control information to the drying module to instruct the various components of the drying module to perform corresponding operations. Specifically, when the drying fan needs to be rotated, the control information can include the rotation angle related to the drying fan, such as +45 degrees, and when the drying module receives the indication information of the rotation angle, it can control the motor to rotate 45 degrees in the forward direction to drive the drying fan or the air guide shell to rotate 45 degrees in the forward direction.

[0093] Wherein, the forward and reverse directions of the rotation angle can be determined based on the set angle, such as Figure 6b As shown in the figure, when the center blowing angle is 0 degrees, the right rotation is the reverse rotation (such as Figure 6a As shown in the figure), and the left rotation is the forward rotation (such as Figure 6c As shown in the figure).

[0094] The implementation of the present application can obtain the feature information related to the drying clothes by calling the camera module and / or sensor module, and on this basis, without the operation object performing operation control, the corresponding control scheme of the drying module can be automatically given based on the feature information; on the other hand, the implementation of the control scheme can control the drying fan to rotate to adapt to the current drying clothes, and adjust the orientation of the air outlet, so as to reduce the time consumed for drying the drying clothes and improve the drying efficiency.

[0095] The specific process of obtaining the feature information related to the drying clothes in the embodiment of the present application will be described below.

[0096] In a feasible embodiment, the feature information related to the drying clothes on the drying device is obtained by the camera module in step S101, including the following steps S100:

[0097] Step S100: If the current state of the drying device meets the preset condition, the camera module and / or sensor module are called to obtain the feature information related to the drying clothes on the drying device.

[0098] Wherein, in the use process of the drying device, the camera module and / or sensor module can be used to collect data in real time. In order to reduce the complexity of data processing, reduce the resource consumption of data processing, and improve the accuracy of the implementation of the drying function, the camera module and / or sensor module can be called to collect data when it is determined that the current state of the drying device meets the preset condition.

[0099] Wherein, the preset condition includes at least one of the following conditions 1-3:

[0100] Condition 1: the newly added clothes on the drying rod of the clothes drying device are detected to reach a preset humidity threshold, and / or the drying rod is stationary for a preset first duration after the clothes are added.

[0101] In this way, whether the newly added clothes are present on the drying rod can be detected by the weighing unit. For example, if the weight carried by the drying rod is detected to increase, it can be determined that the newly added clothes are present on the drying rod. At this time, in order to avoid affecting the user experience when the operation object controls the clothes drying device while the clothes are being dried, the drying function can be triggered after the drying rod is stationary for a preset duration.

[0102] In this way, considering that the clothes hung by the clothes drying device do not necessarily need to be dried, after it is determined that the newly added clothes are present on the drying rod, the humidity unit can also detect the humidity in the region where the clothes can be dried. If the feedback of the humidity of the clothes in the region is greater than or equal to the preset humidity threshold, the drying function can be triggered.

[0103] Optionally, in order to improve the effect of triggering the drying function, the humidity threshold and the stationary duration can be considered in combination. The starting time of the stationary duration of the drying rod can be the time when it is determined that the newly added clothes are present, or the time when it is determined that the humidity of the newly added clothes reaches the preset humidity threshold. In addition, considering that the weight and humidity of the clothes can be judged during the process of the drying rod rising after the drying rod assembly is lowered to hang the clothes, and the accuracy of the feature information obtained when the drying rod is in a stationary state is higher, the stationary duration of the drying rod can also be calculated from the time point when the drying rod rises to the top.

[0104] Condition 2: the drying module of the clothes drying device has been operated based on a preset mode for a preset second duration, and / or the current drying efficiency of the drying module is less than a preset drying efficiency.

[0105] In this way, it can be understood that the feature information can be used to adjust the rotation mode of the drying fan, such as stopping the drying fan after rotating it to 20 degrees in the forward direction for 20 minutes. In order to reduce the resources consumed by adjusting the rotation mode of the drying fan, the camera module and / or the sensor module can be triggered to collect data when the drying module uses the preset mode to dry for a second duration.

[0106] Optionally, the preset mode can be to dry using a fixed blowing angle, to dry using a uniform speed to rotate the drying fan within a preset angle range, etc.

[0107] In this way, the current drying efficiency can be determined based on the starting time and the ending time of the operation of the drying module (in an example, the duration of the operation of the drying module can be the second duration described above), and the weight of the clothes carried by the drying rod at each time point. Specifically, the current drying efficiency p1 is shown in the following formula (1):

[0108]

[0109] In formula (1), W1 is the weight of the clothes corresponding to the start time of the operation of the drying module, W2 is the weight of the clothes corresponding to the end time of the operation of the drying module, T1 is the start time of the operation of the drying module, and T2 is the end time of the operation of the drying module.

[0110] Optionally, the current drying efficiency can also be determined based on the start time and the end time of the operation of the drying module and the humidity of the clothes corresponding to each time point. Specifically, the current drying efficiency p2 is shown in the following formula (2):

[0111]

[0112] In formula (2), K1 is the humidity of the clothes corresponding to the start time of the operation of the drying module, K2 is the humidity of the clothes corresponding to the end time of the operation of the drying module, T1 is the start time of the operation of the drying module, and T2 is the end time of the operation of the drying module.

[0113] The preset drying efficiency can be set by the airer when it is shipped, set by the user according to drying requirements, or determined based on the clothes category information.

[0114] In the case where it is determined that the current drying efficiency is low, the embodiments of the present application can trigger the camera module and / or the sensor module to obtain the feature information related to the clothes drying on the airer, and determine the control information for controlling the operation of the drying module based on the feature information, so as to control the drying module to work through the control information adapted to the drying requirements of the current clothes drying, such as adjusting the orientation of the air outlet of the drying module, and thus shorten the drying time and improve the drying efficiency of the drying module.

[0115] Optionally, when it is determined that the current drying efficiency is less than the preset drying efficiency, the airer can also send a prompt information or the client bound to the airer can send a prompt information to remind the operator of the airer that the current drying efficiency of the airer can not meet the drying requirements, so that the operator can better use the drying function provided by the airer, such as considering whether to trigger the camera module and / or the sensor module to collect data based on the prompt information, to adjust the control information for controlling the operation of the drying module, and the like.

[0116] Condition 3: receiving the execution instruction related to the drying module sent by the client bound to the airer.

[0117] In this application, the user can trigger the camera module and / or sensor module to collect data via a terminal. It is understood that the terminal runs a client application bound to the drying equipment. That is, compared to the user directly adjusting the rotation mode of the drying fan, the implementation of this solution only requires the user to trigger the corresponding camera module and / or sensor module to collect data. There is no need for manual judgment regarding what adjustments to the drying module are needed. This simplifies the operation, reduces complexity, and improves the matching degree between the adjusted rotation mode of the drying fan and the currently drying clothes, thereby increasing drying efficiency.

[0118] In a feasible embodiment, step S101 involves acquiring feature information related to drying clothes on the drying device through a camera module and / or a sensor module, including at least one of the following steps A1-A4:

[0119] Step A1: Acquire image information of clothes drying using a camera module, and determine the clothing category information based on the image information; the clothing category information is related to the clothing outline, clothing size and / or clothing material.

[0120] After performing feature extraction on the image information, clothing information such as clothing outline, clothing size, and clothing material can be obtained. The clothing category information can be a set of this clothing information, or a clothing category determined based on this set (such as calculating the final information by weighting the weight coefficients of different clothing information), or information obtained by matching the clothing information with preset clothing labels (such as determining it as a long-sleeved T-shirt by matching the clothing outline with the preset clothing label, determining it as a small garment by matching the clothing size with the preset clothing label, determining it as a difficult-to-dry garment by the clothing material, etc.).

[0121] Optionally, the drying difficulty of different areas of the garment can be determined by its silhouette, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the garment outline indicates a long-sleeved T-shirt, indicating that areas A and B are more difficult to dry compared to other areas. The size of the garment (including its width relative to the drying module) determines the area occupied by the garment, and the rotation angle range of the drying fan is determined based on this size. Figures 6a-6c As shown, considering the area covered by the edge of the clothes being dried and the air outlet of the drying module, assuming... Figure 6a It is 35 degrees in the opposite direction. Figure 6cFor positive 35 degrees, the rotation angle range of the clothes shown in the figure is [-35°, +35°]. It can be understood that the above rotation angle range can also be determined by the clothing contour. Among them, the thickness, dryness and suitable drying temperature of the clothes can be determined by the material of the clothes, such as natural fiber fabric, chemical fiber fabric and blended fabric, the thickness, dryness and suitable drying temperature of the clothes corresponding to the three are not the same.

[0122] Step A2: Obtain the detection weight of the drying clothes through the weighing unit in the sensor module.

[0123] Among them, the weight of the clothes obtained by the weighing unit before adjusting the drying mode of the drying module based on the feature information can be used as the initial weight for subsequent operations, which records the weight information of the clothes at the current time. It can be understood that if the drying device as shown in Figure 3a As shown in the drying device, since the drying module is arranged independently for the two drying rods (corresponding to the two drying clothes areas), the corresponding weighing unit can be arranged, such as arranging a set of weighing units on the left drying rod and a set of weighing units on the right drying rod, to better adapt to the drying clothes hung on different drying rods for corresponding control of the drying module, improve the drying efficiency of each drying module, and improve the overall drying efficiency of the drying device. Optionally, to improve data processing efficiency and reduce data processing amount, if the difference between the two weights obtained by the two weighing units is within the preset acceptable difference range, the two weights can be considered consistent (the mean value can be taken, or the value of any weight can be taken), and in the subsequent operation steps, only one weight is used for calculation, and then the same control information is used to control the two sets of drying modules.

[0124] Optionally, the operation of obtaining the detection weight of the drying clothes through the weighing unit can be implemented during the operation of the drying module based on the preset frequency or based on the calling instruction.

[0125] Step A3: Obtain the humidity information of the drying clothes through the humidity unit in the sensor module, and the humidity information includes the position information of at least two regions divided based on different humidity of the drying clothes.

[0126] Among them, the humidity unit can be used to detect the humidity of the drying clothes area, and the following division method can be used when the drying clothes area is divided based on humidity:

[0127] The drying clothes area is divided according to a preset grid size, and after a plurality of blocks are divided, the humidity of adjacent blocks is compared. If the humidity difference between the adjacent blocks is less than a preset threshold, the adjacent blocks can be merged, and finally the regions indicated by the merged blocks are obtained, and the humidity of different regions is different.

[0128] The drying clothes area is divided according to a preset grid size, and after a plurality of blocks are divided, the humidity of adjacent blocks is compared. If the humidity difference between the adjacent blocks is less than a preset threshold, the adjacent blocks can be merged, and finally the regions indicated by the merged blocks are obtained, and the humidity of different regions is different.

[0129] It can be understood that the regions obtained by using the division method 1 are relatively regular, and the regions obtained by using the division method 2 can be irregular. Alternatively, the drying clothes area can be set as a three-dimensional region, and the division of the above-mentioned region can be based on a three-dimensional matrix on the basis of the original division method for a two-dimensional image.

[0130] Step A4: obtaining the wind resistance information of the drying clothes through the wind direction and speed unit in the sensor module.

[0131] The wind resistance information can include wind direction, wind speed, wind pressure, etc. Alternatively, the wind resistance information can include information brought by the natural environment, and can also include information brought by the drying module inside.

[0132] The specific process of determining the control information in the embodiment of the application will be described below.

[0133] In a feasible embodiment, the control information for controlling the operation of the drying module is determined based on the feature information in step S102, including step B1:

[0134] Step B1: determining information related to the rotation of the drying fan based on at least one of the clothes category information, the humidity information and the wind resistance information; wherein the information related to the rotation of the drying fan includes at least one of the rotation angle, the rotation speed, the residence time at the target angle.

[0135] Specifically, in combination with Figures 7a-7c The information related to the rotation of the drying fan is described. In Figure 7a The part with positive value indicates the speed adopted by the drying fan in the process of forward rotation, and the part with negative value indicates the speed adopted by the drying fan in the process of reverse rotation.

[0136] Wherein, from Figure 7aIt can be seen that in this mode, the drying fan rotates at a uniform speed, and after rotating to a certain angle, it will stop rotating for a certain period of time and then reverse rotation; and by comparing the rotation time, it can be seen that the time consumed by each forward rotation process is not the same, which can be adjusted according to the current hung clothes.

[0137] Among them, from Figure 7b It can be seen that in this mode, the drying fan rotates at a uniform speed, and after rotating to a certain angle, it will stop rotating for a certain period of time and then reverse rotation.

[0138] Among them, from Figure 7c It can be seen that in this mode, the drying fan rotates at a uniform speed, and after rotating to a certain angle, it will stop rotating for a certain period of time and then reverse rotation.

[0139] In the embodiments of the present application, there can also be a relationship diagram other than Figures 7a-7c The relationship diagram provided by the embodiments of the present application Figures 7a-7c Only some examples of the rotation mode of the drying fan are described, and are not limited to the present application.

[0140] Optionally, the control information further includes at least one of the following information 1 and information 2:

[0141] Information 1: The closing instruction of the drying module determined based on the detection weight and the target weight.

[0142] In the embodiments of the present application, it is also considered that the drying degree of clothes is also affected by the environment, and if it works based on the established drying mode, it cannot well adapt to the drying needs of the hung clothes, therefore,

[0143] In a feasible embodiment, the closing instruction can be generated by the following steps C1-C3 operations:

[0144] Step C1: During the operation of the drying module, the detection weight of the hung clothes is obtained by the weighing unit based on a preset frequency.

[0145] Among them, in order to realize real-time automatic control of the on-off time, drying power, air outlet temperature and other working parameters of the drying module, the embodiments of the present application can call the weighing unit to obtain the detection weight of the hung clothes in real time based on a preset frequency during the operation of the drying module.

[0146] Step C2: Based on the detection weight and the current moisture content of the target weight of the hung clothes.

[0147] Among them, the current moisture content μ i Can be determined by the following formula (3):

[0148]

[0149] In formula (3), μ i is the moisture content of the i-th calculation, w 0i is the target weight of the current drying clothes (i.e., the dry clothes weight), w fi is the detection weight obtained after drying for a period of time.

[0150] Optionally, the target weight can be estimated based on the clothes category information, such as comparing the clothes category information with historical drying data to determine the weight of the drying clothes after drying. Wherein, considering that the clothes weight obtained by the weighing unit corresponds to all clothes hung for drying, and the probability of repeatedly hanging all the same clothes in a single drying is low, therefore, the embodiments of the present application further analyze the respective weights of each clothes to combine the overall weight of the current drying clothes after determining the corresponding clothes in the historical different drying operations when determining the target weight. For example, the weights of clothes A, B, and C after drying in historical operation 1 are W1, the weights of clothes B, C, and K after drying in historical operation 2 are W2, and so on. The weights of clothes n1, n2, and n3 after drying in historical operation N are Wn. The respective weights of each clothes after drying are analyzed through multiple different historical operations, so as to combine the target weight when the clothes in the current drying are identified.

[0151] Step C3: generating a closing instruction for controlling the drying module to close, if the current moisture content is lower than the target moisture content. Wherein, the target moisture content is preset or determined based on the clothes category information.

[0152] Wherein, the same execution standard can be used to control the closing of the drying module, such as using the same target moisture content to judge the result of each drying by presetting the target moisture content. Optionally, to improve the adaptability to the current drying clothes, the respective target moisture content of the clothes can also be determined based on the clothes category information.

[0153] Wherein, if the current moisture content is lower than the target moisture content, it indicates that the drying clothes have approached the completely dried state, at which time the drying module can be controlled to close. If the current moisture content is higher than or equal to the target moisture content, it indicates that the drying of the drying clothes does not meet the demand, and the drying efficiency of the next time node can be improved by increasing the working parameters such as the outlet air temperature and the drying power of the drying module, so as to reduce the running time of the drying module.

[0154] Information 2: the drying time of the drying module determined based on the detection weight and the target weight, the target weight being the weight of the drying clothes after drying estimated based on the clothes category information.

[0155] In the above embodiment, the control information includes information 1. The target weight of the drying clothes can be determined based on the clothes category information. The detected weight of the drying clothes is obtained. When the target weight of the drying clothes after drying is estimated based on the historical drying data and the clothes category information, the drying time required for drying the drying clothes can be determined. The on-off of the drying module can be controlled based on the drying time.

[0156] In the above embodiment, the control information includes information 1. The target weight of the drying clothes can be determined based on the clothes category information. The detected weight of the drying clothes is obtained. When the target weight of the drying clothes after drying is estimated based on the historical drying data and the clothes category information, the drying time required for drying the drying clothes can be determined. The on-off of the drying module can be controlled based on the drying time.

[0157] In an embodiment, the information related to the rotation of the drying fan in step S102 includes at least one of the following steps B11-B14, which is adapted to different assembly structures of the drying module.

[0158] In step B11, when the drying module is arranged on both sides of the main machine of the drying equipment or arranged on the lower side of the drying rod assembly of the drying equipment, if the clothes category information and / or the humidity information indicates that there is a target drying area, the rotation range of the drying fan is determined based on the target drying area, the rotation speed of the drying fan in the target drying area is reduced, and / or the stay time of the air outlet of the drying module when facing the target drying area is determined.

[0159] In the above embodiment, the target drying area can be a difficult-to-dry area (e.g., area A and area B shown in FIG. 10) relative to the clothes category information, and can be an area with humidity greater than a preset humidity threshold relative to the humidity information. Figure 5

[0160] In step B11, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the drying module is arranged above the drying rod assembly, so the air outlet of the drying module faces downward, and the hot air is blown downward to dry the drying clothes hung on the drying rod. In this assembly structure, the drying efficiency of the drying module can be improved by adjusting the rotation of the drying fan. Figure 2 Figure 3a In step B11, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the drying module is arranged on the main machine of the drying equipment, so the air outlet of the drying module faces upward, and the hot air is blown upward to dry the drying clothes hung on the drying rod. In this assembly structure, the drying efficiency of the drying module can be improved by adjusting the rotation of the drying fan.

[0161] In step B11, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the drying module is arranged on the main machine of the drying equipment, so the air outlet of the drying module faces upward, and the hot air is blown upward to dry the drying clothes hung on the drying rod. In this assembly structure, the drying efficiency of the drying module can be improved by adjusting the rotation of the drying fan. Figure 3b ​​As shown in the assembly structure, since the drying module is arranged below the drying rod assembly, the air outlet of the drying module is upward, and the hot air is blown upward to dry the drying clothes hung on the drying rod. Under this assembly structure, the drying efficiency of the drying module can be improved by adjusting the rotation of the drying fan.

[0162] In some embodiments, the rotation range of the drying fan can be determined based on the target drying area. For example, Figure 6b As shown, if the drying fan blows air at a fixed central angle, it cannot effectively dry the target drying area as shown in Figure 5 Therefore, the rotation angle of the drying fan can be adjusted based on the position of the target drying area. For example, if the target drying area is at the edge of the drying clothes, the maximum blowing angle can be determined based on the edge of the drying clothes and the air outlet coverage range of the drying fan, and then the rotation range of the drying fan can be determined based on the forward rotation and reverse rotation of the drying fan.

[0163] In some embodiments, the rotation speed of the drying fan in the target drying area can be reduced based on the target drying area. For example, if the default rotation speed of the drying fan is 1, the rotation speed of the drying fan in the target drying area can be reduced to 0.5. By reducing the rotation speed of the drying fan, the heat received by the target drying area per unit time can be increased. Alternatively, the reduced rotation speed can be determined in combination with the target moisture content indicated by information 1 included in the control information in the above embodiments.

[0164] In some embodiments, the air outlet of the drying module can be determined based on the target drying area. For example, Figures 7a-7c As shown, when the drying fan rotates to a certain angle, the drying fan can be controlled to maintain the angle for a certain period of time, so that the area to which the air outlet is directed can receive more heat per unit time, thereby reducing the time required to dry the area.

[0165] In step B12, when the drying module can move up and down in the area where the drying clothes are located, if the clothes category information and / or the humidity information indicates that there is a target drying area, the moving speed of the drying module in the target drying area can be reduced, and / or the dwell time of the drying module in the target drying area can be determined.

[0166] In step B12, the assembly structure as shown in Figure 3b As shown, the drying module can be controlled to move up and down by the connecting rod connected between the drying rod assembly and the drying module. In this way, the air outlet of the drying module can be directed upward, downward, or to both sides. In one example, the air outlet of the drying module can also rotate 360 degrees. Under this assembly structure, the operation efficiency of the drying module can be adjusted by adjusting the movement of the drying module.

[0167] In the above embodiment, the moving speed of the drying module through the target drying area can be determined based on the target drying area. Assuming that the drying module moves up and down at a speed of 1 times in the default drying mode, the drying module can be instructed to move at a speed of 0.3 times when passing through the target drying area, so as to increase the heat received by the target drying area per unit time, shorten the drying time required for drying the target drying area, and thus improve the overall drying efficiency.

[0168] In the above embodiment, the moving speed of the drying module through the target drying area can be determined based on the target drying area. Assuming that the drying module moves up and down at a speed of 1 times in the default drying mode, the drying module can be instructed to move at a speed of 0.3 times when passing through the target drying area, so as to increase the heat received by the target drying area per unit time, shorten the drying time required for drying the target drying area, and thus improve the overall drying efficiency.

[0169] In step B13, when the drying module is arranged on the upper side of the drying rod assembly and is provided with the outer plate that can move up and down, if the clothes category information indicates that the area occupied by the drying clothes is smaller than the preset area size and / or the wind resistance information indicates that the current wind direction is opposite to the direction of the air outlet of the drying module, the outer plate of the drying module is lowered, and the drying fan is instructed to rotate within the angle range in which the air outlet is vertically downward to the direction of the outer plate.

[0170] In step B13, as shown in the assembly structure of Figure 3c , the outer side of the drying module is provided with the outer plate that can move up and down. The outer plate can be a straight plate as shown on the left side of Figure 3c , or an arc-shaped plate as shown on the right side of Figure 3c . By arranging the outer plate, the direction of the air outlet of the drying module can be effectively adjusted. As shown on the left side of Figure 3c , after the outer plate is lowered, the direction of the air outlet of the drying module is adjusted to the direction of the outer plate, and the angle of the hot air blown out by the drying module can be changed by the outer plate, so that the hot air blown out by the drying module can be sent to the drying clothes.

[0171] In the above embodiment, the clothes category information can determine the size of the area occupied by the drying clothes. When it is determined that the area occupied by the drying clothes is smaller than the preset area, it can be determined that the drying clothes are clothes such as quilts and towels that are dried in a vertical manner. In order to make the area covered by the hot air blown out by the drying module larger, the outer plate of the drying module can be lowered, and the drying fan can be instructed to rotate within the angle range in which the air outlet is vertically downward to the direction of the outer plate.

[0172] The wind resistance information can indicate the wind direction of the surrounding environment in which the current drying device is located. If the current wind direction is opposite to the orientation of the air outlet of the drying module, the hot air sent out by the air outlet cannot reach the drying clothes, at this time, the angle of the hot air blown out by the drying module can be changed through the outer plate. For example, by lowering the outer plate, the natural wind opposite to the orientation of the air outlet is blocked, so that the hot air blown out by the drying module is transferred to the area where the drying clothes are located through the angle of the outer plate after reaching the outer plate.

[0173] In step B14, when the drying module is provided with an air inlet fan at the air inlet, if the wind resistance information indicates that the current wind speed is greater than the preset wind speed threshold, the running time of the air inlet fan is determined based on the running time of the drying fan.

[0174] In step B14, as shown in the assembly structure, Figure 4 When the wind resistance information indicates that the current wind speed is greater than the preset wind speed threshold, it can be determined that the current wind speed affects the air pressure balance between the air inlet and the air outlet of the drying module, so that the air inlet is difficult to inhale air, thereby affecting the air outlet volume of the air outlet, and the drying efficiency of the drying module is reduced. To solve this problem, balance the air pressure between the air inlet and the air outlet, and increase the air outlet volume of the air outlet, the running time of the air inlet fan can be determined based on the running time of the drying fan, such as starting the air inlet fan at the same time as starting the drying fan, or starting the air inlet fan after a preset time after starting the drying fan, or closing the air inlet fan within a certain time before the drying fan is closed.

[0175] To better illustrate the drying control method of the drying device provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following feasible application examples are provided.

[0176] First, the drying module used in the embodiments of the present application is described. Figure 8 The drying module used in the embodiments of the present application is described. Specifically, in an application example, a control unit is arranged in the drying module, which can include a processor that can be used for data processing and output control information. On this basis, the camera module can be a module including a camera (also called camera module), which transmits the information collected by the camera to the control unit, and extracts the feature information related to the drying clothes by the control unit. Optionally, the sensor module can include a weighing unit. When the drying fan is controlled to rotate, the drying fan can be driven by controlling the rotation of the motor. Based on this, the drying module can be respectively provided with a motor angle adjusting unit, a motor time adjusting unit and a motor speed adjusting unit. In addition, an drying switch unit is arranged to control the operation of the drying module. Under the arrangement of this structure, the drying control method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be executed by the drying module.

[0177] The drying control method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described below in combination with Figure 9The flowchart shown is illustrated in conjunction with a specific application scenario.

[0178] Application scenario: the user hangs a long-sleeved T-shirt just washed on the drying rod of the drying device and starts the drying function (it can also be detected by the drying device, and if it is determined that the current state of the drying device meets the preset condition, the drying control method provided in the application embodiment can be automatically triggered to adjust the rotation of the drying fan).

[0179] When the drying device detects that there is new clothes hung on the drying rod, the weighing unit can be called to weigh to obtain the detected weight of the long-sleeved T-shirt; the camera module can also be called to identify the clothes category. Specifically, the camera module can be called to obtain image information of the current drying clothes area and transmit it to the control unit for image recognition to output clothes category information; if it is determined that the currently hung clothes are long-sleeved T-shirts and it is determined that there are target drying areas (area A and area B) as shown. Figure 5 At this time, the control unit can adjust the rotation angle, speed and time of the drying fan according to the clothes category information to shorten the drying time of the target drying area, so as to ultimately shorten the overall drying time and improve the drying efficiency.

[0180] Among them, the clothes category information can also determine the target water content rate suitable for the long-sleeved T-shirt. Based on this, during the operation of the drying module, the control unit can also call the weighing unit to obtain the detected weight of the current drying clothes based on a preset frequency (such as 5 seconds / time), and determine the current water content rate based on the detected weight and the target weight. If the current water content rate is lower than the target water content rate (the corresponding threshold value), it can be determined that the long-sleeved T-shirt has approached the completely dried state, and the control information for closing the drying function is sent to the drying switch unit to stop the operation of the drying module; if the current water content rate is higher than or equal to the target water content rate, the weighing unit is continuously called based on the preset frequency to obtain the weight of the drying clothes until the current water content rate is lower than the target water content rate, and the operation of the drying module is stopped. After the drying module stops running, the drying completion message can also be sent to the client bound to the drying device through the voice module of the drying device to prompt the user that the hung clothes have been dried.
