[0050] Currently, with the continuous advancement of technology, smart home products are becoming increasingly popular in daily life, and electric and smart clothes drying racks are gradually becoming necessities. Clothes drying racks are gaining wider acceptance. Electric and smart clothes drying racks, due to their automatic lifting and lowering capabilities and integrated lighting, drying, and sterilization functions, are increasingly favored and have become an indispensable part of smart home products.

[0051] However, traditional clothes dryers with drying functions on the market have relatively simple control methods, and can only turn on the drying function according to the user's instructions. The level of intelligence is low, which results in the number of times and frequency of use of this function, thus reducing the user's experience of using the clothes dryer.

[0056] Drying control methods executed by controlling equipment include:

[0057] S101: Obtain environmental information related to the clothes drying rack.

[0058] Optionally, the environmental information includes location information, humidity detection information, clothes drying information, and other information that helps determine whether the drying function should be activated. The control device can connect to the clothes dryer or other devices (such as the scene panel of a smart lock) to obtain this environmental information.

[0059] In one embodiment, obtaining environmental information related to the clothes drying rack includes: setting drying parameters according to instructions transmitted by a smart terminal, connecting to the clothes drying rack, and obtaining environmental information related to the clothes drying rack. The smart terminal includes at least one of a smart lock, a mobile phone, and a smart switch, and the drying parameters include at least one of preset condition settings, preset threshold settings, and drying information settings.

[0060] Optionally, the clothes drying rack can obtain relevant environmental information after detecting that it has clothes hanging on it, and send the environmental information to the control device.

[0061] In one embodiment, after the clothes drying machine detects that it has clothes hanging on it, it obtains humidity detection information through its own or connected humidity sensor, and obtains location information through the positioning sensor. It then sends the humidity detection information, the positioning information, and the detected clothes drying information to the control device.

[0062] Optionally, the control device can also record the acquisition object and acquisition method of each type of information in the environmental information, and acquire the environmental information according to the acquisition object and acquisition method.

[0063] In one embodiment, the control device is a cloud platform. The cloud platform records location information and humidity detection information from the scene panel of the smart lock, and the clothes drying information from the clothes drying machine. When acquiring environmental information, the cloud platform connects to both the scene panel and the clothes drying machine, and acquires the corresponding information after connection.

[0064] Optionally, the control device can also acquire information about devices located in the same area as the clothes drying rack (such as the same family area, the same community area, etc., the specific area size and range can be set by the user), send an environmental information query request to the device, the device receiving the query request sends a response message to the control device, and the control device obtains the environmental information based on the response message.

[0065] In one embodiment, the control device sends an environmental information query request to a device located in the same household. The smart speaker in the device sends a response message to the control device, including location information and humidity detection information. A camera located on the balcony captures an image of the clothes drying rack and sends the image to the control device. The control device then obtains the clothes drying information based on the image.

[0066] Optionally, before acquiring environmental information related to the clothes drying rack, the control device can also determine whether the location information related to the clothes drying rack is stored based on historical records. If so, only the humidity detection information and clothes drying information related to the clothes drying rack are acquired.

[0067] Optionally, the clothes drying rack can also begin acquiring environmental information related to the clothes drying rack after being connected or bound to it, or it can begin acquiring environmental information related to the clothes drying rack after determining that the current environmental information acquisition conditions are met. These preset environmental information acquisition conditions include the current time being within a set time period, receiving an information acquisition command, detecting that the washing machine has stopped operating, and other conditions set by the user according to their own needs.

[0068] In one embodiment, the preset environmental information acquisition condition is that the current time is within a set time period (10:00 AM to 2:00 PM). The control device connects and binds to the clothes drying rack according to the instructions input by the connected smart terminal (such as a mobile phone). When it detects that the current time is 11:00 AM, which is within the set time period, it determines that the preset environmental information acquisition condition is met and acquires the environmental information related to the clothes drying rack.

[0069] S102: Obtain weather information corresponding to the location information.

[0070] Optionally, obtaining weather information corresponding to the location information includes: obtaining the location of the clothes drying rack and the corresponding weather query range based on the location information, and obtaining weather information within the weather query range. The weather information includes at least one of humidity query information and weather conditions. The weather information may also include wind speed, temperature, and other information that affects the drying speed of clothes.

[0071] Optionally, the weather query range can be a one-square-kilometer area centered on the location information. Alternatively, it can be a range of other sizes centered on the location information. Furthermore, the control device can also locate the nearest weather station or weather monitoring equipment based on the location information and determine the weather information of that weather station or weather monitoring equipment as the weather information within the weather query range.

[0072] Optionally, after determining the weather query range, the control device can obtain weather information for the query range via the Internet, or connect to the scene panel of the smart lock or a mobile phone or other devices that can provide weather information to obtain weather information for the query range.

[0073] S103: Determine drying information to instruct the clothes dryer to perform drying operations based on weather information, humidity detection information, and clothes drying information.

[0074] Optionally, drying information for instructing the clothes dryer to perform drying operations is determined based on weather information, humidity detection information, and clothes drying information. This includes: comparing humidity query information with humidity detection information; if the comparison result meets preset conditions, then drying information for instructing the clothes dryer to perform drying operations is determined based on the humidity detection information, weather, and clothes drying information; if the comparison result does not meet preset conditions, then the humidity detection information is subjected to an accuracy test, and drying information for instructing the clothes dryer to perform drying operations is determined based on the test result, weather, and clothes drying information. The preset conditions include that the absolute difference between the humidity indicated by the humidity query information and the humidity detection information is less than a preset threshold; the clothes drying information includes information related to drying clothes collected by the clothes dryer's sensing module; and the drying information includes at least one of drying mode, drying time, and drying area. The drying mode includes at least one of dryer power, wind speed, and airflow frequency. The absolute difference is the absolute value of the difference between the humidity query information and the humidity detection information.

[0075] The control device can send the drying information to the clothes drying machine, which then performs the drying operation based on the received information. Alternatively, the control device can send the drying information to the smart terminal of the clothes being dried, receive feedback from the smart terminal, and determine whether to send the drying information to the clothes drying machine based on the feedback.

[0076] In one embodiment, after the control device generates drying information including drying mode and drying time, it sends the drying information to the mobile phone of the person drying the clothes. If the person drying the clothes gives feedback of permission via mobile phone, the drying information is sent to the clothes drying machine. If the person drying the clothes gives feedback of disallowed or modified drying information via mobile phone, the drying information is not sent or the modified drying information is sent to the clothes drying machine.

[0077] Optionally, the preset threshold can be 5%, or other values, depending on actual needs. The preset threshold is used to determine whether the humidity detection information matches the humidity query information. When the environmental information includes weather, the preset condition also includes determining whether the weather information matches the weather obtained by the control device based on the location information. If they do not match, the weather information in the environmental information is used as a reference for generating drying information. If they match, the drying information is determined based on the weather information in the environmental information.

[0078] In one embodiment, the preset threshold is 5%, the humidity detection information is 70%, and the humidity query information is 80%. If the control device determines that the absolute difference between the two humidity detection information and humidity query information is greater than the preset threshold, then the comparison result does not meet the preset condition, and the accuracy of the humidity detection information is tested.

[0079] Optionally, the humidity detection information is subjected to an accuracy test, and drying information for instructing the clothes dryer to perform drying operations is determined based on the test results, weather, and clothes drying information. This includes: performing an accuracy test on the detection equipment corresponding to the humidity detection information, including determining whether the detection equipment is damaged; if the detection equipment is determined to pass the accuracy test, then drying information for instructing the clothes dryer to perform drying operations is determined based on the humidity detection information, weather, and clothes drying information; if the detection equipment is determined to fail the accuracy test, then drying information for instructing the clothes dryer to perform drying operations is determined based on the humidity query information, weather, and clothes drying information.

[0080] The control device can send a detection command to the object that sent the humidity detection information, so that the object can perform an accuracy test on the detection device corresponding to the humidity detection information. It can also connect with other devices within the weather query range that can obtain humidity detection information to determine whether there is no deviation or the deviation is less than a predetermined error between the humidity detection information sent by the device and the humidity detection information corresponding to the detection device. If yes, the accuracy test is passed; otherwise, the accuracy test is not passed.

[0081] In one embodiment, the detection device is a humidity sensor on a clothes dryer. The control device sends a detection command to the clothes dryer, and the clothes dryer checks whether the humidity sensor is damaged or interfered with (such as by water ingress) according to the detection command. If not, the humidity sensor is determined to have passed the accuracy test.

[0082] Optionally, drying information for instructing the clothes drying machine to perform drying operations is determined based on humidity detection information, weather, and clothes drying information, including: if the humidity is determined to be greater than a preset humidity threshold based on humidity detection information, the weather is a first preset weather, and the clothes drying information determines that there are clothes hanging on the drying rod, then drying information is generated.

[0083] Optionally, the humidity threshold is 60%. In other embodiments, the humidity threshold may also be 70% or other values, which can be set according to the actual environment and needs.

[0084] Optionally, the first preset weather includes cloudy days, rainy days, humid weather, and other weather conditions that affect the drying speed of clothes. In other embodiments, the control device may also store a table corresponding to different humidity detection information, weather, clothes drying information, and whether drying information is generated, and determine whether to generate drying information by looking up the table.

[0085] Optionally, if the accuracy test fails, the process of determining drying information based on humidity query information, weather, and clothes drying information is the same as the process of determining drying information based on humidity detection information, weather, and clothes drying information. Both can be done by looking up a table or by judging a preset humidity threshold and a first preset weather.

[0086] In one embodiment, if the accuracy test of the detection device fails, the control device or clothes dryer can also generate a damage indication or repair report to remind the clothes drying object or the management object corresponding to the detection device to handle it in a timely manner.

[0087] Optionally, generating drying information includes: generating drying information based on information related to the clothes in the clothes-drying information, and sending it to the clothes-drying machine. The information related to the clothes includes at least one of the following: clothes weight, clothes distribution area, clothes type, and clothes moisture content. The control device stores the correspondence between the clothes-drying information and the drying information, and generates the drying information based on this correspondence. This correspondence includes tables, calculation formulas, and other tools capable of expressing the correspondence.

[0088] Optionally, the clothes drying rack can acquire drying information such as the weight of the clothes, the distribution area of ​​the clothes, the type of clothes, and the moisture content of the clothes through devices such as cameras, weight sensors, and humidity sensors in the sensing module. Specifically, the clothes drying rack can take images of the clothes with the camera and use these images to calculate the dripping frequency of the clothes. The higher the dripping frequency, the higher the moisture content of the clothes. Optionally, by comparing the weight of the clothes hanging on the drying rack over a certain period of time, it can be determined whether the moisture content of the clothes has changed, thereby determining whether the clothes are on the drying rack; it can also use humidity sensors to detect the humidity of the ground in the clothes drying area, thereby assisting in judging the moisture content of the clothes.

[0089] In one embodiment, the control device pre-stores a table corresponding to information about drying clothes and the drying information, and obtains the drying information based on the table. If the relevant information shows that the weight of clothes hanging on both sides of the drying rod is inconsistent, then according to the table, it is determined that the two dryers used for drying on the clothes drying machine are turned on, and the working power of the dryer corresponding to the area with heavier hanging clothes is greater than the working power of the dryer corresponding to the area with lighter hanging clothes.

[0090] Optionally, to obtain more accurate drying information, the control device can also acquire reference information such as the location of the clothes drying rack area (e.g., balcony), sunlight obstruction, wind force, and required drying time for clothes. This reference information, along with information related to the clothes being dried, is used as the basis for generating drying information. Specifically, the control device can pre-store drying information or historical drying information corresponding to different reference information and information related to the clothes being dried. This pre-stored information is compared with the current reference information and information related to the clothes being dried, and the drying information corresponding to the information with the highest matching degree is used as the current drying information corresponding to the reference information and information related to the clothes being dried.

[0091] Beneficial Effects: The drying control method for the clothes drying rack of this application acquires environmental information related to the clothes drying rack and weather information corresponding to the current location of the clothes drying rack. Based on the weather information and environmental information, drying information is obtained to instruct the clothes drying rack to perform drying operations. In this embodiment, after acquiring the environmental information related to the clothes drying rack, the weather information corresponding to the current location of the clothes drying rack is obtained based on the environmental information. Drying information is generated based on the environmental information and weather information to instruct the clothes drying rack to perform drying operations. Therefore, this embodiment can control the clothes drying rack to automatically activate the drying function according to the environment and weather, increasing the frequency and number of times the drying function is used, making the clothes drying rack more intelligent and efficient, and improving the user experience.

[0092] This application also provides a drying control method for a clothes dryer, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the clothes drying rack is electric. After starting, it connects to the cloud platform for network binding. The smart lock also connects to the cloud platform or the electric clothes drying rack. The smart lock has a scene panel, including a high-definition wide-angle viewing peephole, and a high-definition display screen. Commands are input to the cloud platform or the electric clothes drying rack through this scene panel to set the drying parameters. After the drying settings are completed, the electric clothes drying rack uploads humidity detection data to the cloud platform via its own humidity sensor and reports its location information to the cloud platform via a positioning sensor (such as GPS). The cloud platform uses this location information to determine the weather data within a 1 square kilometer range. The cloud platform then determines whether there is a discrepancy between the humidity detection information transmitted by the electric clothes drying rack and the humidity query information in the weather data (i.e., the absolute difference is greater than a preset threshold). If so, the drying information is determined based on the humidity query information, the clothes drying information, and the weather; otherwise, the drying information is determined based on the humidity detection information, the clothes drying information, and the weather.

[0093] Specifically, if humidity detection or query information indicates a high humidity level (e.g., greater than 60%), and the weather is one of the first preset weather conditions (cloudy, rainy, or humid), and the clothes drying information shows that the clothesline has a load, then drying information is generated, and the electric clothes dryer activates the drying timer function based on this information. If humidity detection or query information indicates a low humidity level (e.g., less than or equal to 60%), the weather is not one of the first preset weather conditions (e.g., cloudy or sunny), and the clothes drying information shows that the clothesline has no load, then drying information is not generated, and the electric clothes dryer does not activate the drying timer function.
