[0002] With the improvement of living standards, the use of drying equipment (such as clothes drying racks and dryers) is becoming more and more widespread. Existing drying equipment has a relatively simple control method, generally only able to control start and stop. No matter how much clothing there is or how it is placed, the operation mode of the drying equipment is the same, which can easily lead to waste of resources. Clothes may be over-dried or not thoroughly dried, resulting in less than ideal drying effect. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0029] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a clothes drying device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. This method can be executed by a control device for the clothes drying device provided in this embodiment, which can be implemented using software and / or hardware. In a specific embodiment, the device can be integrated into a clothes drying device, such as a clothes dryer or garment tumble dryer, which includes at least two airflow inlets and at least two airflow supply devices. The following embodiments will illustrate this using the integration of the device into a clothes drying device as an example. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The method may specifically include the following steps:

[0030] Step 101: Detect the position of the clothes to be dried inside the drying equipment to obtain the target position.

[0031] The target location can be understood as the position of the clothes to be dried inside the drying equipment.

[0032] Specifically, the internal area of ​​the drying equipment can be logically divided in advance, and the area where the clothes to be dried are located inside the drying equipment can be detected by infrared detection sensors, and the location corresponding to the area where the clothes to be dried are located can be determined as the target location.

[0033] Step 102: Determine the airflow port corresponding to the target location from at least two airflow ports to obtain the target airflow port.

[0034] The target airflow port can be understood as the airflow port corresponding to the location of the clothes to be dried inside the drying equipment.

[0035] Specifically, the drying equipment has at least two airflow ports and at least two airflow supply devices. Each airflow port can be understood as a vent within the drying equipment, and each airflow port has a corresponding airflow port switch, meaning each airflow port can be independently controlled to open or close. Each airflow supply device is used to provide internal drying airflow to the drying equipment. Each airflow supply device may include a fan and a heater. The heater may be a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heating element; however, other heating devices are also possible, and there is no specific limitation. Both the fan and the heater can be independently controlled. In this embodiment of the invention, the at least two airflow ports and at least two airflow supply devices can be activated according to their corresponding positions.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a clothes drying device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, taking a clothes drying device 210 as an example, it includes four airflow ports (airflow port 1 211, airflow port 212, airflow port 3 213, and airflow port 4 214) and two airflow supply devices (215, 216). Airflow supply device 215 includes a fan 1 2151 and a heater 1 2152, and airflow supply device 216 includes a fan 2161 and a heater 2162. The clothes drying device 210 contains clothes 220 to be dried. Furthermore, the clothes drying device 210 may also include a disinfection module 217, which may include a plasma generator or an ozone generator, used to disinfect and sterilize the clothes 220 to be dried.

[0037] Furthermore, the target airflow outlet can be determined by comparing the distances between at least two airflow outlets within the dryer and the target location. Alternatively, the main coverage area of ​​the airflow outlet where the target location is located can be determined, thus identifying that airflow outlet as the target airflow outlet.

[0038] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the position of the clothes to be dried 220 in the drying equipment 210 is the target position. The distance between the airflow port 211 and the target position is the smallest, so the airflow port 211 can be determined as the target airflow port corresponding to the target position.

[0039] Step 103: Determine the air supply device corresponding to the target air supply port from at least two air supply devices to obtain the target air supply device.

[0040] The target airflow supply device can be understood as an airflow supply device that provides drying airflow to the position of the clothes to be dried within the drying equipment.

[0041] Specifically, the air supply equipment in the area corresponding to the location of the target air outlet can be identified as the target air supply equipment.

[0042] For example, continuing with the examples above, such as Figure 2 As shown, airflow outlet 211 is the target airflow outlet corresponding to the target location, and the airflow supply device in the area corresponding to the location of airflow outlet 211 is airflow supply device 215. Therefore, airflow supply device 215 can be identified as the target airflow supply device.

[0043] Step 104: Activate the target airflow supply device and provide drying airflow to the clothes to be dried through the target airflow port.

[0044] Specifically, the target airflow supply device can be activated based on its operating parameters. Once activated, the target airflow supply device generates a drying airflow, which enters the drying device through the target airflow port to dry the clothes to be dried.

[0045] For example, continuing with the examples above, such as Figure 2 As shown, after determining that the air supply device 215 is the target air supply device to be activated, the target air supply device 215 is activated based on the operating parameters of the target air supply device, and the drying airflow is provided to the clothes to be dried through the target airflow port (airflow port 211).

[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, the drying equipment includes at least two airflow inlets and at least two airflow supply devices. It can detect the position of the clothes to be dried within the drying equipment to obtain a target position; determine the airflow inlet corresponding to the target position from the at least two airflow inlets to obtain a target airflow inlet; determine the airflow supply device corresponding to the target airflow inlet from the at least two airflow supply devices to obtain a target airflow supply device; and activate the target airflow supply device and provide drying airflow to the clothes to be dried through the target airflow inlet. That is, in this embodiment of the invention, the at least two airflow inlets and at least two airflow supply devices of the drying equipment can be controlled independently. The corresponding airflow supply device and airflow inlet can be activated according to the specific position of the clothes to be dried within the drying equipment, activating them as needed, avoiding resource waste and improving the drying effect.

[0047] In a specific implementation, the clothes drying equipment also includes a humidity sensor. There can be multiple humidity sensors, and each humidity sensor can correspond to a logical partition within the clothes drying equipment. That is, one logical partition within the clothes drying equipment can correspond to one humidity sensor. The following embodiments will further illustrate the control method of the clothes drying equipment provided by the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the humidity sensor. Figure 3 This is another schematic flowchart of the control method for the clothes drying equipment provided in this embodiment of the invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps may include the following:

[0048] Step 301: Use a humidity sensor to detect the humidity of the clothes to be dried and obtain the real-time humidity.

[0049] Real-time humidity can be understood as the humidity of the clothes to be dried at a specific time point, as detected by a humidity sensor.

[0050] Specifically, the gravity sensor can detect the weight of the clothes drying rack of the clothes drying equipment. If the weight of the clothes drying rack of the clothes drying equipment changes (for example, it increases, or it decreases and then increases), the humidity sensor is activated to detect the humidity of the clothes to be dried and obtain the real-time humidity.

[0051] For example, if a change in the weight of the clothes drying rack is detected by the gravity sensor, the humidity sensor is activated to detect the humidity of the clothes to be dried. The dryer contains multiple humidity sensors located at different positions within the dryer to detect the humidity of the clothes in different areas. These different areas can be internal logical partitions of the dryer, with one humidity sensor for each area to detect the humidity of the clothes in that area. Specifically, the dryer can be a drum dryer, a cassette dryer, a dryer with a clothes drying rack, or other types of dryers; no specific limitations are made here. Taking a clothes drying rack dryer as an example, the humidity sensor can be located near the airflow inlet. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing the location of the humidity sensor in the clothes drying device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, the black dots in the clothes drying equipment indicate the locations of humidity sensors. Assuming there are 5 logical zones and 5 airflow outlets in the clothes drying equipment, each of the 5 logical zones corresponds to one of the 5 airflow outlets. A humidity sensor can be installed at the corresponding location of each airflow outlet to detect the humidity of the clothes in the corresponding logical zone.

[0052] Step 302: Determine whether the real-time humidity exceeds the preset humidity threshold; if the real-time humidity does not exceed the preset humidity threshold, return to step 301; if the real-time humidity exceeds the preset humidity threshold, proceed to step 303.

[0053] The preset humidity threshold can be understood as the critical value of the humidity of the clothes to be dried, which can be a specific value, such as 20%.

[0054] Specifically, it can be determined whether the real-time humidity exceeds the preset humidity threshold by comparing the real-time humidity with the preset humidity threshold.

[0055] Step 303: Determine the basic speed of the fan based on the real-time humidity, and determine the basic power of the heater based on the real-time humidity.

[0056] Here, the base speed can be understood as the fan speed without considering the influence of additional factors; the base power can be understood as the power of the heater when it is working without considering the influence of additional factors.

[0057] Specifically, the base speed of the fan and the base power of the heater can be determined by consulting the correspondence table of real-time humidity, fan base speed, PTC base power and compensation drying time.

[0058] For example, Table 1 is a table showing the correspondence between real-time humidity, fan base speed, PTC base power, and compensated drying time provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] Table 1. Correspondence between real-time humidity, fan base speed, PTC base power, and compensated drying time.

[0060]

[0061]

[0062] Assuming the real-time humidity is 30%, by referring to Table 1, we can determine that the basic speed of the fan and the basic power of the heater are 1200 r / min and 140 w, respectively.

[0063] Step 304: Determine the compensated speed of the fan based on the number of fans under load, and determine the compensated power of the heater based on the number of heaters under load.

[0064] Here, the number of loads can be understood as the number of load areas of fans or heaters in operation, which can be represented by N; the compensation speed can be understood as the additional fan speed; and the compensation power can be understood as the additional heater power.

[0065] Specifically, the compensation speed of the fan and the compensation power of the heater can be determined by consulting the correspondence table of the number of load areas, the additional fan speed, and the additional heater power.

[0066] For example, Table 2 is a table showing the correspondence between the number of loads N, the additional fan speed, and the additional heater power provided in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0067] Table 2. Correspondence between load quantity N, additional fan speed, and additional heater power.

[0068] Number of load regions N Additional fan speed Additional heater power N＝1 0r / min 0w 2≤N＜4 200r / min 30w 4≤N＜6 400r / min 60w 6≤N＜8 600r / min 80w 8≤N 800r / min 100w

[0069] Assuming there are 3 load zones for the fan and heater, by referring to Table 2, we can determine that the compensated speed of the fan is 200 r / min and the compensated power of the heater is 30 W.

[0070] Step 305: Determine the target speed of the fan based on the fan's base speed and compensated speed, and determine the target power of the heater based on the heater's base power and compensated power.

[0071] The target speed can be understood as the sum of the fan's base speed and the compensated speed; the target power can be understood as the sum of the heater's base power and the compensated power.

[0072] For example, continuing with the above example, by calculating the sum of the basic speed and the compensated speed of the fan, the target speed can be determined to be 1400 r / min; by calculating the sum of the basic power and the compensated power of the heater, the target power can be determined to be 170 W.

[0073] In this embodiment of the invention, the basic speed of the fan is determined based on the real-time humidity, and the basic power of the heater is determined based on the real-time humidity; the compensation speed of the fan is determined based on the number of loads on the fan, and the compensation power of the heater is determined based on the number of loads on the heater; the target speed of the fan is determined based on the basic speed and the compensation speed, and the target power of the heater is determined based on the basic power and the compensation power of the heater, which can make the calculated target speed and target power parameters more accurate.

[0074] Step 306: Control the operation of the fan based on the target rotation speed to generate basic airflow.

[0075] For example, the fan can be controlled to run at a target speed of 1400 r / min to generate a basic airflow.

[0076] Step 307: Control the heater operation based on the target power to heat the base airflow, thereby obtaining a dry airflow.

[0077] For example, the heater can be controlled to operate at a target power of 170W to heat the base airflow, thereby obtaining a dry airflow.

[0078] In this embodiment of the invention, by controlling the operation of the target airflow supply device based on operating parameters, the control methods for the operation of the drying equipment can be increased, and the accuracy of controlling the target airflow supply device to operate on demand can be improved.

[0079] Step 308: Provide a drying airflow to the clothes to be dried through the target airflow inlet.

[0080] In this embodiment of the invention, by determining whether the real-time humidity exceeds a preset humidity threshold, and when the real-time humidity exceeds the preset humidity threshold, the step of activating the target airflow supply device and providing drying airflow to the clothes to be dried through the target airflow outlet is triggered, which can improve the effective utilization rate of the airflow supply device and the airflow outlet and avoid resource waste.

[0081] In this embodiment of the invention, at least two airflow inlets and at least two airflow supply devices of the drying equipment can be independently controlled. A humidity sensor is used to detect the humidity of the clothes to be dried to obtain the real-time humidity. It is then determined whether the real-time humidity exceeds a preset humidity threshold, and the operating parameters are calculated to control the operation of the target airflow supply device. This provides drying airflow to the clothes to be dried through the target airflow inlet, so as to realize the purpose of activating the corresponding airflow supply device and airflow inlet according to the specific location of the clothes to be dried in the drying equipment. The corresponding equipment is activated as needed, avoiding resource waste and improving the drying effect.

[0082] In some embodiments, after controlling the operation of the target airflow supply device based on operating parameters to provide drying airflow to the clothes to be dried through the target airflow port, the method further includes: determining whether the drying device has completed the drying task; when the drying device completes the drying task, obtaining the current time; determining the drying reminder method based on the current time; and using the drying reminder method to provide a drying reminder.

[0083] The current time can be understood as the time when the drying equipment completes the drying task; the drying reminder can be a sound reminder or a screen display reminder.

[0084] Specifically, the current time when the drying equipment will complete the drying task can be determined by querying the clock; the drying reminder method can be determined based on the current time by judging whether the current time falls within the daytime or nighttime time range.

[0085] Further, determining whether the drying equipment has completed the drying task includes: determining whether at least two air vents are completely closed and whether at least two air supply devices are completely closed; when at least two air vents are completely closed and at least two air supply devices are completely closed, the drying equipment is determined to have completed the drying task.

[0086] For example, the drying equipment is considered to have completed its drying task when at least two air vents are completely closed and at least two air supply devices are completely shut down. If the current time when the drying equipment completes its drying task is 9 PM, then the drying reminder method corresponding to the current time can be a screen display reminder; if the current time is 12 PM, then the drying reminder method corresponding to the current time can be an audio reminder. With the audio reminder method being an audio reminder, the user can promptly remove the dried clothes after hearing the audio reminder.

[0087] In this embodiment of the invention, by determining the drying reminder method based on the current time after the drying device completes the drying task, the user's demand for a more intelligent use of the drying device is met. While providing reminders, the device reduces interference with the user and improves the user experience.

[0088] Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention has made further optimizations after providing drying airflow to the clothes to be dried through the target airflow inlet. Figure 5 This is another schematic flowchart of the control method for the clothes drying equipment provided in the embodiments of the present invention, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the specific steps may include the following:

[0089] Step 501: Obtain the actual operating time of the target airflow supply device.

[0090] The actual runtime can be understood as the runtime during which the target airflow supply device provides airflow to the target location.

[0091] Specifically, the actual operating time of the target airflow supply device can be obtained by querying the data stored in the control system of the clothes dryer.

[0092] Step 502: Determine the basic drying time and the compensation drying time for the clothes to be dried.

[0093] The basic drying time can be understood as the preset drying time for the clothes to be dried; the supplementary drying time can be understood as the additional drying time for the clothes to be dried.

[0094] Specifically, Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating the process of determining the basic drying time in the control method of the clothes drying equipment provided in this embodiment of the invention, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the method for determining the basic drying time may specifically include the following steps:

[0095] Step 5021: Determine the amount of water contained in the clothes to be dried, and calculate the heat required to evaporate that amount of water to obtain the target heat.

[0096] Specifically, the amount of water in the clothes to be dried can be determined by the weight and humidity of the clothes; the amount of heat required to evaporate that amount of water can be calculated, and the target amount of heat can be obtained by consulting a table showing the relationship between water content and required heat.

[0097] Furthermore, the weight of the clothes to be dried can be determined by using a weighing device (such as a weight sensor). Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram showing the location of the weighing device in the clothes drying equipment provided in this embodiment of the invention, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, a weighing device can be placed at each clothes rod hole of the drying equipment, and the weight of each piece of clothing to be dried can be accurately detected by the weighing device.

[0098] For example, the amount of water contained in the clothes to be dried can be the product of the weight of the clothes to be dried and the humidity of the clothes to be dried; assuming the target heat is Q1, the target heat Q1 can be obtained by consulting the heat table calculated to evaporate that amount of water.

[0099] Step 5022: Determine the effective heat generation of the target airflow supply equipment per unit time based on the operating parameters and the heat loss ratio of the target airflow supply equipment.

[0100] Specifically, based on real-time humidity and load area, the corresponding fan and heater can be selected. The output heat of the target airflow supply equipment within a unit time can be calculated based on the speed and power of the selected fan and heater. Then, the effective heat generation of the target airflow supply equipment within a unit time can be determined based on the output heat.

[0101] For example, assuming the output heat is Q2 and the effective heat production is Q3; calculate the output heat Q2 of the target airflow supply equipment per unit time based on the selected fan and heater speed and power, and obtain the effective heat production Q3 according to the formula: effective heat production Q3 = output heat Q2 * (1 - heat loss ratio).

[0102] Step 5023: Determine the basic drying time of the clothes to be dried based on the target heat and the effective heat generation of the target airflow supply equipment within a unit time.

[0103] Specifically, the basic drying time of the clothes to be dried can be determined according to the formula: Basic drying time of clothes to be dried = Effective heat generation of the target airflow supply equipment per unit time / Target heat.

[0104] For example, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a calculation process for the basic drying time in the control method of the clothes drying equipment provided in this embodiment of the invention, as shown below. Figure 8As shown, assuming the basic drying time of the clothes to be dried is t, the effective heat generation of the target airflow supply equipment per unit time is Q3, and the target heat is Q1, the amount of water contained in the clothes to be dried is determined by detecting the humidity and weight of the clothes. Then, the target heat Q1 required for this amount of water is calculated, and the output heat Q2 is calculated. The effective heat generation Q3 is calculated using the formula: Effective heat generation Q3 = Output heat Q2 * (1 - Heat loss ratio). Finally, the basic drying time t is obtained by using the formula: Basic drying time t = Q3 / Q1. This method of calculating the basic drying time can improve the accuracy of the calculation.

[0105] Step 503: Determine the guide operating time of the target airflow supply equipment based on the basic drying time and the compensated drying time of the clothes to be dried.

[0106] Specifically, the guide operating time of the target airflow supply equipment can be determined by calculating the sum of the base drying time and the compensation drying time of the clothes to be dried.

[0107] Step 504: When the actual running time reaches the guide running time, obtain the theoretical dry weight and actual dry weight of the clothes to be dried.

[0108] Theoretical dry weight can be understood as the weight of the clothes to be dried in a dry state, obtained experimentally or under fixed conditions; measured dry weight can be understood as the weight of the clothes to be dried in real time after the drying time in the drying equipment has reached the guided running time. Measured dry weight can be obtained by weighing the clothes through the holes in the clothes rack rod.

[0109] Step 505: Determine whether the difference between the theoretical dry weight and the measured dry weight exceeds the preset weight value. If the difference between the theoretical dry weight and the measured dry weight exceeds the preset weight value, proceed to step 506; if the difference between the theoretical dry weight and the measured dry weight does not exceed the preset weight value, proceed to step 507.

[0110] The preset weight value can be understood as the drying error value, which can be a specific value, such as 10g.

[0111] Specifically, it can be determined whether the difference between the theoretical dry weight and the measured dry weight exceeds the preset weight value by comparing the difference between the theoretical dry weight and the measured dry weight with the preset weight value.

[0112] Step 506: Determine that the clothes to be dried have not met the standards for dried clothes.

[0113] For example, if the difference between the theoretical dry weight and the actual dry weight exceeds the preset weight value by 10g, it is determined that the clothes to be dried have not met the standard for dried clothes.

[0114] In this embodiment of the invention, the difference between the theoretical dry weight and the actual dry weight is used to determine whether the clothes to be dried meet the drying standards, and the airflow outlet and airflow supply equipment are activated more accurately as needed.

[0115] Step 507: Determine that the clothes to be dried meet the standards for dried clothes.

[0116] For example, if the difference between the theoretical dry weight and the measured dry weight does not exceed the preset weight value of 10g, it means that the clothes to be dried have met the standard for dried clothes.

[0117] Step 508: When the clothes to be dried reach the standard for dried clothes, close the target airflow port and shut off the target airflow supply equipment.

[0118] For example, continuing with the examples above, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the clothes to be dried 220 reach the standard for dried clothes, the target airflow port 211 is closed, and the target airflow supply device (airflow supply device 215) is turned off.

[0119] In this embodiment of the invention, the guided operating time of the target airflow supply device is determined based on the basic drying time and the compensated drying time of the clothes to be dried. When the actual operating time reaches the guided operating time, the theoretical dry weight and the measured dry weight of the clothes to be dried are obtained. It is determined whether the difference between the theoretical dry weight and the measured dry weight exceeds a preset weight value. If the difference between the theoretical dry weight and the measured dry weight does not exceed the preset weight value, it is determined that the clothes to be dried have reached the standard for dried clothes. When the clothes to be dried have reached the standard for dried clothes, the target airflow outlet is closed, and the target airflow supply device is shut down. That is, in this embodiment of the invention, at least two airflow outlets and at least two airflow supply devices of the drying equipment can be controlled independently. It is possible to determine whether the clothes to be dried have reached the standard for dried clothes based on whether the difference between the theoretical dry weight and the measured dry weight exceeds a preset weight value, thereby enabling the airflow outlets and airflow supply devices to be activated more accurately as needed, avoiding resource waste and improving the drying effect.
