[0072] S1, acquiring a current outer profile size of the laundry 44 in the inner tub 1;
[0073] S2, adjusting a wind guiding direction of the wind guiding member 5 according to the current outer profile size;
[0074] By adjusting the wind guiding direction of the wind guiding member 5, the prior art mode of the drying air flow 43 directly blowing to the bottom of the inner tub 1 can be optimized, more blowing modes can be provided, and the drying efficiency can be improved; the heat of the drying air flow 43 can be fully utilized, the contact area between the drying air flow 43 and the laundry 44 can be increased, the drying air flow 43 and the laundry 44 can be fully contacted, the drying process control precision can be improved, and the drying can be thorough and sufficient.
[0075] Specifically, S2 comprises:
[0076] S21, determining a target wind guiding angle of the wind guiding member 5 according to the current outer profile size;
[0077] S22, controlling the wind guiding member 5 to rotate to the target wind guiding angle;

[0082] controlling the inner tub 1 to perform a laundry shaking operation;
[0083] after the laundry shaking operation is completed, determining a current outer profile height h of the laundry 44;
[0084] determining that a relative distance between the air inlet 311 and the laundry 44 in a vertical direction is y-h according to the current outer profile height h of the laundry 44 and an inner diameter y of the inner tub 1;
[0085] determining that a relative distance between the air inlet 311 and the laundry 44 in a horizontal direction is x / 2 according to a tub depth x of the inner tub;
[0086] Specifically, adjusting the airflow direction of the air guide 5, in conjunction with the shaking operation, ensures that the clothes 44 are in full contact with the drying airflow 43, improving drying efficiency and user experience. Controlling the inner drum 1 to perform the clothes shaking operation includes: controlling the inner drum 1 to alternately rotate forward and reverse at a preset shaking speed; for example, at a certain moment, the first part of the clothes 44 is distributed in the upper part of the inner drum 1 and is directly blown by the air inlet 311; at this moment, the second part of the clothes 44 is distributed in the lower part of the inner drum 1 and is not directly blown by the air inlet 311; through the shaking operation, the second part of the clothes 44 can be distributed in the upper part of the inner drum 1 while the first part of the clothes 44 can be distributed in the lower part of the inner drum 1; of course, through the shaking operation, the clothes 44 in the middle of the inner drum 1 can also be distributed in the upper part of the inner drum 1, etc.
[0087] In existing technology, the shaking and scattering of clothes is generally determined by the power change of the drive motor of the inner tub 1. By setting a constant speed for the drive motor, the power fluctuation at that speed is measured to determine whether the clothes have been shaken and scattered. When the clothes are not completely shaken and scattered, the motor power will fluctuate due to uneven weight distribution.
[0088] The current outer contour height h of garment 44 is the average height. Determining the current contour height h of garment 44 includes:

[0093] The target air guiding angle α of the air guide 5 is determined by the vertical relative distance yh between the air inlet 311 and the clothing 44 and the horizontal relative distance x / 2 between the air inlet 311 and the clothing 44. The angle α is calculated as arctan(x / 2) / (yh).
[0094] After the air guide 5 is rotated to the target air guide angle, the drying control method further comprises:
[0095] S3, determining a target rotation-to-stop ratio a=k*h of the inner tub 1 according to the current outer profile height h and a preset coefficient k;

[0097] As the drying process proceeds, the moisture content of the clothes will continue to decrease, and the clothes will become fluffy, and the value of h will increase; therefore, the drying control method further comprises:
[0098] obtaining a current moisture content of the clothes at the current time;
[0099] comparing the current moisture content with a first preset value;
[0100] when the current moisture content is less than the first preset value, the air guide 5 is controlled to maintain the current air guide angle and the inner tub 1 is controlled to maintain the current target rotation-to-stop ratio.
[0101] In addition, the drying control method further comprises:
[0102] obtaining an initial moisture content of the clothes 44 before the drying process is run and a current moisture content of the clothes 44 at the current time;
[0103] calculating a moisture content change value of the clothes 44;
[0104] comparing the moisture content change value with a second preset value;
[0105] when the moisture content change value is greater than or equal to the second preset value, the current outer profile height h of the clothes 44 is re-determined.
[0106] When the current moisture content of the clothes 44 is high, the air guide direction of the air guide 5 and the rotation-to-stop ratio of the inner tub 1 are adjusted according to the outer profile size of the clothes 44; when the current moisture content of the clothes is low, the air guide direction of the air guide 5 and the rotation-to-stop ratio of the inner tub 1 are maintained until the current moisture content is 0, and the drying process is ended.
