Description

Disinfection control methods for drying equipment, drying equipment and readable storage media Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart home technology, and more specifically, to a disinfection control method for a drying device, a drying device, and a readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In order to improve the care effect on the clothes being dried, existing clothes drying machines are generally equipped with a disinfection function to disinfect the clothes during the drying process.

[0003] However, the disinfection function of existing clothes drying racks generally operates based on a set working time and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the amount of clothes being dried or the drying status. This results in weak adaptability to different application scenarios, making the utilization rate of the disinfection function of the clothes drying rack very low, rendering the disinfection function on the clothes drying rack virtually useless. Summary of the Invention

It should be noted that the following embodiments can be referenced, borrowed from, or combined with each other. Identical terms, similar features, and similar implementation steps in different embodiments will not be repeated.

[0070] The following describes the operational architecture of the drying equipment involved in the embodiments of this application.

[0071] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the operation architecture of the disinfection control method for drying equipment provided in the embodiments of this application. In this architecture, a terminal 20, a server 10 and drying equipment 40 may be included.

[0072] The terminal 20 may include any terminal running the client. The terminal (also referred to as a device) may be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer, smart voice interaction device (e.g., smart speaker), wearable electronic device (e.g., smartwatch), in-vehicle terminal, smart home appliance (e.g., smart TV), AR / VR device, etc., but is not limited to these. Optionally, the terminal may also refer to a control device configured based on home appliances, such as a remote control that can load the client. In one example, the terminal 20 may be used to execute the disinfection control method for the drying equipment provided in this application embodiment. During the execution of the method, it may directly obtain detection information sent by the drying equipment or obtain detection information uploaded by the drying equipment from the server, so as to determine whether the working state of the disinfection module needs to be adjusted based on the detection information.

[0073] Among them, the drying equipment 40, also known as a clothes drying machine, can be used to perform the steps of the disinfection control method of the drying equipment provided in this application. During the execution of the method, the drying equipment can call the various functional modules equipped by the main controller, such as calling the disinfection detection module to obtain detection information related to the current drying status, and considering whether to adjust the working status of the disinfection module based on the detection information.

[0074] The server 10 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system (such as a distributed cloud storage system) consisting of multiple physical servers, or a device that provides services in collaboration with an IoT platform. Optionally, the server 10 can be used to execute the steps of the disinfection control method for the drying equipment provided in this application, and the required data can be obtained through the drying equipment 40 or the terminal 20.

[0075] In one feasible embodiment, the drying equipment 40, terminal 20, and server 10 can be directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication, such as through network 30 for signal transmission; this application does not impose any limitations on this. Optionally, the operating architecture may also include a database to provide data read and write services in conjunction with server 10, such as storing detection information at different time points and working information of the disinfection module. Optionally, the operating architecture may also include an Internet of Things (IoT) platform to manage the binding and interaction between the drying equipment and the terminal. Optionally, depending on the application scenario of the disinfection control method for the drying equipment, the client shown in the corresponding embodiment may be an application program (APP) installed on the terminal and operated by the user.

[0076] The disinfection control method for the drying equipment in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below.

[0077] Specifically, taking the drying equipment as the implementing entity as an example, the corresponding disinfection and control method will be explained. As shown in Figure 1, the method includes the following steps S101-S102:

[0078] Step S101: Call the disinfection detection module to obtain detection information related to the current drying status.

[0079] The disinfection detection module may include various types of sensors for detecting information related to the disinfection function, such as a photosensitive sensor to detect whether the light is sufficient (when the light is insufficient, the clothes being dried can be effectively disinfected by the equipment to improve the sterilization effect).

[0080] Optionally, the configuration of the disinfection detection module can be related to the disinfection equipment used to configure the disinfection function of the drying equipment. For example, when the drying equipment is configured with a disinfection lamp, since the disinfection effect of the lamp is related to the duration and intensity of light, the disinfection detection module can be configured with a corresponding photosensitive sensor, UV sensor (also known as a UVC detection sensor), etc. When the drying equipment is configured with an ion generator, since the disinfection effect is related to the concentration of ions in the air, the disinfection detection module can be configured with a corresponding ion sensor (also known as an ion detection sensor) to detect the ion concentration in the corresponding space in real time.

[0081] The current drying status can refer to the operating status of the drying equipment while drying clothes, as well as the environmental conditions; such as whether the drying equipment has the disinfection lamp on, the power of the disinfection lamp, whether the ion generator is on, the ion concentration produced by the ion generator, whether the current light is sufficient, the intensity of the light, and the size of the light area.

[0082] Optionally, the detection information can be information directly collected by the disinfection detection module, or information output by the disinfection detection module after processing the collected information.

[0083] Step S102: Based on the detection information, determine whether the disinfection mode performed on the currently drying clothes meets the preset disinfection conditions. If not, determine the working information of the disinfection module based on the detection information and the disinfection mode, so as to adjust the working state of the disinfection module.

[0084] The disinfection mode is determined by information such as the working time, intensity, and whether the disinfection equipment is in operation; for example, a disinfection lamp could be irradiated at low power for 2 hours. It is understood that the disinfection mode used when the disinfection module is started can be preset by the user or set by the R&D personnel before the product leaves the factory. Compared to the dynamically adjusted working state of the disinfection module provided in this application embodiment, the disinfection mode applied when the disinfection module is started is a static mode, in which the disinfection module performs disinfection work based on a set program.

[0085] Among them, the preset disinfection conditions can be determined based on the desired disinfection effect. For example, during the time period when clothes are being dried, the duration and intensity of light exposure to the clothes need to reach a set threshold in order for the disinfection process of the clothes to meet the standard.

[0086] Among them, determining the working information of the disinfection module based on detection information and disinfection mode is an operation process of dynamically adjusting the disinfection mode currently used by the disinfection module. When the disinfection mode is dynamically adjusted, on the one hand, the disinfection efficiency can be improved to ensure the disinfection effect of clothing, and on the other hand, the resources consumed by the disinfection module can be effectively reduced (such as turning off the disinfection lamp, shortening the working time of the disinfection lamp, and reducing the working power of the disinfection lamp when there is sufficient sunlight).

[0087] In one example, the disinfection detection module equipped with the drying equipment includes at least one of a photosensor, a UV sensor, and an ion sensor. Optionally, the detection information includes at least one of the following:

[0088] Detection Information 1: The first illumination information detected by the photosensitive sensor.

[0089] Detection Information 2: Calls the UV sensor to detect the second light intensity information for the drying area.

[0090] Detection information 3: Calls the ion charge information detected by the ion sensor for the drying area.

[0091] As shown in Figure 3, when performing the disinfection detection module, it can call at least one of the photosensitive sensor, ion sensor and UV sensor configured in the drying equipment to collect information.

[0092] Optionally, the photosensitive sensor can be used to collect the first illumination information of the location of the drying equipment at the current time point. The illumination information may include the illumination intensity and illumination area information provided by the environment.

[0093] Optionally, the UV sensor can be used to collect secondary illumination information of the drying area at the current time point. This illumination information is related to the illumination provided by the environment and the illumination provided by the disinfection lamp. It can be used to collect the total intensity and irradiation range of the UVC ultraviolet disinfection lamp illumination received by the clothes on the drying rack.

[0094] Compared to the first light information, the second light information can detect the light provided by the disinfection lamp, and the area it detects is also different. The first light information is the light information for the direction of the drying equipment facing outdoors, while the second light information is the light information for the vertical direction of the drying equipment (the direction vertically downward from the position of the drying rod).

[0095] Optionally, the ion sensor can be used to monitor and collect the rate of change of ion charge concentration in the air of the drying area over time using the capacitive absorption method.

[0096] Optionally, step S101 involves calling the disinfection detection module to obtain detection information related to the current drying status, including: if a start command for the disinfection module is received and / or the drying rack of the drying device is detected to be at the top and carrying clothes, then the disinfection detection module is started to perform detection to obtain detection information related to the current drying status.

[0097] The disinfection detection module collects real-time detection information, and the results reflect the time or time period of information collection. Therefore, to ensure the effectiveness of the detection information obtained by the disinfection detection module and its compatibility with the disinfection module, the disinfection detection module can be activated simultaneously with the disinfection module's startup (during the disinfection process). Furthermore, to effectively improve the utilization rate of the disinfection function and enhance the disinfection effect on clothing, the disinfection detection module can also be activated when the drying rack is detected to be at the top and carrying clothes (in the example, under appropriate settings, the disinfection module can be automatically activated based on the position and load-bearing capacity of the drying rack, eliminating the need for manual user operation, simplifying user operation while ensuring the disinfection effect on clothing).

[0098] Optionally, the conditions set for activating the disinfection detection module can also be used as conditions for deactivating it. For example, the disinfection detection module can be deactivated simultaneously when the disinfection module finishes its operation, or deactivated some time after the disinfection module finishes its operation. Alternatively, it can be deactivated when the drying rack is lowered or the user collects clothing. The disinfection detection module can perform detection based on a set detection frequency during the activation-to-deactivation period. Optionally, the detection frequency can be dynamically adjusted based on environmental changes. For example, if the difference between two consecutive sets of first light intensity data is greater than a set threshold, the detection frequency can be increased (e.g., from once every 10 minutes to once every 5 minutes).

[0099] In a feasible embodiment, step S102, which determines whether the disinfection mode performed on the currently dried clothes meets the preset disinfection conditions based on the detection information, includes at least one of the following steps A1-A2:

[0100] Step A1: Based on the first illumination information and / or the second illumination information, determine whether the current light irradiance value is within the preset light irradiance range.

[0101] In one example, if the light irradiance value indicated by the first light information is within the preset threshold range, it indicates that the sunlight energy provided by the external environment that the clothes can receive during the drying process meets the disinfection requirements (clothes do not need to be disinfected with the assistance of disinfection equipment). When the disinfection mode executed by the disinfection module is zero, it can be determined that the currently executed disinfection mode meets the preset disinfection conditions.

[0102] In one example, if the light irradiance value indicated by the second light information is within a preset threshold range, it indicates that the irradiance energy that the clothes can receive from the external environment and disinfection equipment (such as disinfection lamps) meets the disinfection requirements during the clothes drying process (sunlight works with disinfection equipment to disinfect clothes), and it can be determined that the disinfection mode currently executed by the disinfection module meets the preset disinfection conditions.

[0103] In one example, if both the first and second illumination information indicate that a strong illumination signal is detected, and the light irradiance value of the drying area read in the second illumination information is greater than the maximum value of the preset threshold range, it indicates that the irradiation energy received by the clothes being dried is greater than the disinfection requirements during the drying process. In this case, the resources consumed by the disinfection equipment for auxiliary disinfection are greater than the resources required to actually achieve the disinfection requirements. In order to better save resources and improve the efficiency of disinfection, the disinfection mode currently executed by the disinfection module can be determined to not meet the preset disinfection conditions, so as to dynamically adjust the working state of the disinfection module in subsequent execution steps to adapt to the current drying state.

[0104] Optionally, if both the first and second illumination information indicate that a strong illumination signal is detected, and the light irradiance value of the drying area read in the second illumination information is within a preset threshold range, then it indicates that the irradiation energy received by the clothes being dried meets the disinfection requirements during the drying process. In this case, it can be determined that the disinfection mode currently executed by the disinfection module meets the preset disinfection conditions, and there is no need to adjust the working state of the disinfection module.

[0105] Optionally, if both the first and second illumination information indicate that a weak illumination signal is detected, and the light irradiance value of the drying area read in the second illumination information is less than the minimum value of the preset threshold range, it indicates that the irradiation energy received by the clothes being dried is less than the disinfection requirements during the drying process. In this case, it can be determined that the disinfection mode currently executed by the disinfection module does not meet the preset disinfection conditions. In subsequent execution steps, the working state of the disinfection module can be dynamically adjusted to adapt to the current drying state, so as to improve the disinfection and sterilization effect of the clothes through auxiliary disinfection by the disinfection module.

[0106] It is understandable that by combining the first and second light information, the accuracy of dynamically adjusting the working status of the disinfection module can be effectively improved, avoiding the setting of disinfection module working information that does not match the drying state due to deviations in the information collected by the sensors.

[0107] Step A2: Based on the rate of change of ion charge over time indicated by the ion charge information, determine whether the current ion concentration is within the preset ion concentration range.

[0108] The ion sensor can monitor and collect data on the rate of change of ion charge concentration in the air of the drying area over time in real time, and then calculate the ion concentration percentage using a smoothing algorithm. It's understood that the higher the ion concentration, the fewer ions the ion generator needs to produce. Therefore, when the ion concentration is determined to be within a preset range, it can be determined that the currently executed disinfection mode meets the preset disinfection conditions (this could be because the ion generator is not activated, or because the current efficiency of the ion generator meets the disinfection requirements for the dried clothes).

[0109] In a feasible embodiment, considering that the environmental conditions of the drying equipment also affect the disinfection effect on the dried clothes, this embodiment can also obtain information related to the environmental conditions when determining whether the disinfection mode performed on the current dried clothes meets the preset disinfection conditions. This operation can pre-determine whether the preset disinfection conditions are met based on the environmental conditions, simplifying the operation steps and improving the effectiveness of dynamically adjusting the working state of the disinfection module, while reducing the resources consumed by the disinfection module. Optionally, before performing step S102 to determine whether the disinfection mode performed on the current dried clothes meets the preset disinfection conditions based on the detection information, steps B1-B3 are also included:

[0110] Step B1: Obtain environmental information that represents the real-time environmental state.

[0111] Optionally, environmental information may include information collected by calling configured sensors, information obtained by acquiring operational information of relevant functional modules of the drying equipment, and information characterizing the environmental state obtained from external databases (such as meteorological data corresponding to the geographical location of the drying equipment obtained from a meteorological database).

[0112] Step B2: If the environmental information indicates that the current environmental state does not meet the conditions for starting disinfection, and the remaining disinfection time in the currently executed disinfection mode is greater than the preset time, then it is determined that the preset disinfection conditions are not met.

[0113] Step B3: If the environmental information indicates that the current environmental state meets the conditions for starting disinfection, then determine whether the currently executed disinfection mode meets the preset disinfection conditions based on the detection information.

[0114] In this embodiment, considering that there may be situations where the disinfection module is not suitable for activation (such as the presence of biologically-featured objects in the drying area) or the disinfection effect achieved by activating the disinfection module is very small, in order to improve the adaptability of the disinfection module's operation to the environment, it can first determine whether the conditions for activating disinfection are met based on environmental information. If the conditions for activating disinfection are met, it can be further determined whether the current disinfection mode executed for drying clothes meets the preset disinfection conditions through detection information. If the conditions for activating disinfection are not met, it can be simply determined whether the preset disinfection conditions are met by checking the remaining disinfection time in the disinfection mode. If the remaining disinfection time in the currently executed disinfection mode is longer than the preset time when the current environmental state is determined to be unsuitable for activating the disinfection module, it can be determined that the preset disinfection conditions are not met, and subsequent operation steps to adjust the working information of the disinfection module can be executed to end the operation of the disinfection module as soon as possible.

[0115] In this embodiment, to improve the efficiency of clothing disinfection via the disinfection module, it can first be determined whether the current environmental conditions of the drying equipment are suitable for activating the disinfection module. Optionally, the environmental information may include at least one of the following: meteorological information indicating the geographical location of the drying equipment, lighting information indicating the working status of the indicator lights, biometric information detected by a biosensor, and wind information detected by a wind sensor. The conditions for activating disinfection include at least one of the following: the meteorological information indicating no rain and humidity within a preset humidity range in the future preset time period; the lighting information and / or the biometric information indicating no objects with biological characteristics in the drying area; and the wind information indicating that the current wind force is less than a preset wind force threshold. The following examples illustrate several situations that this embodiment can adapt to:

[0116] Scenario 1: If the acquired meteorological information indicates that there is rain and heavy rain within the preset clothes drying time period (the clothes drying time period can be estimated by combining historical drying data, such as when users usually collect the clothes at 19:30 in the evening, the clothes drying time can be estimated between the current time and 20:00), causing the corresponding environmental humidity to be greater than the maximum value of the preset humidity range, and the disinfection effect of the disinfection module is not good (the clothes may get wet after disinfection or during disinfection, and the disinfection module cannot achieve a good disinfection effect, and the resources consumed by starting the disinfection module are wasted), it can be determined that the current environmental state does not meet the conditions for starting disinfection.

[0117] Scenario 2: The lighting equipment is designed to illuminate areas in the dark when a human body is detected approaching. Therefore, the lighting information indicating the lighting status helps determine if any biologically-possessing objects are present in the drying area. Since disinfection lamps may have physiological effects on biologically-possessing objects, if the lighting information indicates the lights are on, it means the current environmental conditions are unsuitable for activating the disinfection module; in other words, the conditions for starting disinfection are not met.

[0118] Scenario 3: Similar to Scenario 2, in Scenario 3, the presence of objects with biological characteristics in the drying area can be detected by the biological detection sensors of the drying equipment (such as the sensors used in the human body detection module).

[0119] Scenario 4: Considering that the ions generated by the ion generator can be guided to the drying area by a fan to improve the disinfection effect of clothing, in certain environmental conditions, since drying equipment is generally installed in a well-ventilated indoor location, such as a balcony, it is difficult to guide the ions generated by the ion generator to the drying area even with a fan in strong winds. This results in continuous resource consumption without achieving a good disinfection effect. Therefore, this embodiment can also utilize a wind sensor to detect wind information. If the wind information indicates that the current wind force is greater than or equal to a preset wind force threshold, it can be determined that the current environmental conditions do not meet the conditions for initiating disinfection; if the wind information indicates that the current wind force is less than the preset wind force threshold, it can be determined that the current environmental conditions meet the conditions for initiating disinfection.

[0120] In a feasible embodiment, step S102, which determines the operating information of the disinfection module based on the detection information and the disinfection mode, includes at least one of the following steps C1-C2:

[0121] Step C1: Based on the first illumination information and / or the second illumination information, adjust the remaining working time and / or power intensity of the disinfection lamp in the disinfection mode.

[0122] Step C2: Based on the ion concentration determined by the ion charge information, adjust the remaining working time of the ion generator and / or the generated ion concentration in the disinfection mode.

[0123] Adjusting the remaining working time can include shortening or extending it. The specific adjustment period can be determined by combining the first illumination information, the second illumination information, and the estimated clothes drying time. For example, if the disinfection lamp is currently using a low power intensity or the ion generator is currently producing a low ion concentration, and the extended remaining working time indicates a running end time later than the estimated clothes drying time, the extended working time can be shortened by adjusting the power intensity of the disinfection lamp or the ion concentration produced by the ion generator. This ensures that the extended remaining working time indicates a running end time earlier than the estimated clothes drying time.

[0124] In a feasible embodiment, in order to improve the interactivity between the drying equipment and the user, and to enable the user to intuitively perceive the disinfection status of the clothes, the method provided in this application embodiment further includes step S103: displaying the working information through the display screen included in the display module of the drying equipment.

[0125] The system uses different colors and / or numbers to display the progress of disinfection using disinfection lamps and / or the current ion concentration in the drying area.

[0126] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5, different colors can be used to display the disinfection progress of the arc-shaped lines using disinfection lamps. For example, red indicates 0%-25% completion, orange indicates 26%-50% completion, blue indicates 51%-75% completion, green indicates 76%-99% completion, and green indicates 100% completion. It is understood that the disinfection progress is related to whether the remaining working time is adjusted in steps C1 and C2. The disinfection progress may be 52% at time A, but after extending the remaining working time and recalculating the disinfection progress, the disinfection progress may be 41% at time B (time B is later than time A).

[0127] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5, ion concentration information can be displayed digitally, such as displaying a percentage value of 0%-100% with an accuracy of 0.1%. The display can also be dynamic, based on acquired detection information. In one example, the displayed ion concentration could refer to the ion concentration generated by the ion generator or the ion concentration currently detected in the air within the drying area.

[0128] Optionally, considering the significant resources required to maintain the information display on the screen over a long period, and to improve resource utilization and user interactivity, this embodiment of the application can also adaptively adjust the operating status of the display screen based on the user's interaction with the drying equipment and the current ambient lighting conditions. Specifically, step S103, which involves displaying the working information on the display screen, includes steps D1-D2:

[0129] Step D1: Obtain the detection information fed back by the biosensor module.

[0130] Step D2: If the detection information indicates the presence of an object with biological characteristics in the drying area, the working information is displayed on the screen, and the first illumination information detected by the photosensitive sensor in the disinfection detection module is obtained. Based on the first illumination information, the brightness of the screen is adjusted and / or the working status of the lighting of the drying equipment is adjusted.

[0131] Optionally, as shown in Figure 7, in this embodiment, when a human body is detected entering the area where it interacts with the drying equipment, the display screen is invoked to show the working information of the disinfection module. Furthermore, the brightness of the display screen can be adjusted by acquiring the first illumination information so that the user can clearly see the content displayed. Since the drying equipment automatically turns on its lights when it detects a human body approaching in a dark environment, and the light effect of the lights will affect the display screen's brightness, the brightness information of the display screen can be determined simultaneously by combining the illumination information and the lighting information.

[0132] The structure and circuit layout of the drying equipment in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below.

[0133] As shown in Figure 4, the drying equipment may include a main controller, a disinfection detection module, and a disinfection module.

[0134] The main controller, located within the main unit of the clothes drying rack, may include a processor and memory. The processor can be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit), CPU (Central Processing Unit), general-purpose processor, DSP (Digital Signal Processor), ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or other programmable logic devices, transistor logic devices, hardware components, or any combination thereof. It can implement or execute the various exemplary logic blocks, modules, and circuits described in conjunction with the disclosure of this application. The processor can also be a combination that implements computational functions, such as a combination of one or more microprocessors, a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, etc. Optionally, the processor can be the chip IC1 shown in Figure 10. Optionally, the main controller is used to communicate with each module, detect the status data of each sensor, and send corresponding logic instructions to control each module to perform corresponding actions.

[0135] The disinfection module, connected to the main controller, may include an ion generator and a fan unit deployed on the main unit. Optionally, the ion generator can be located at the bottom of the main unit, and the fan unit can be located at the air outlet of the ion generator. It is understood that the fan unit may have a steering mechanism to adjust its direction to the clothes-drying area, directing the ions generated by the ion generator towards that area. When the disinfection module receives a control signal from the main controller to activate disinfection, it can use the fan unit to direct the ions generated by the ion generator towards the corresponding clothes-drying area, thus achieving the disinfection function. Specifically, the fan unit starts simultaneously with the ion generator, blowing the (positive and negative) dual ions, high-energy particles, and chain-generated OH (oxhydryl) free radical hydroxyl ions generated by the ion generator towards the clothes-drying area under the influence of airflow.

[0136] The ion generator can be a plasma generator, which uses corona discharge technology and high-voltage high-energy particle emission technology during high-voltage high-frequency pulse ionization to generate (positive and negative) dual ions, high-energy particles, and chain-generated OH radical hydroxyl ions. This causes a series of collisions between a large number of plasma particles in the air, resulting in electrochemical reactions. The high-energy active oxygen ions, OH radical hydroxyl ions, and high-energy particles have strong oxygenation and high energy resolution capabilities, which can break the chemical chains of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), benzene, alkanes, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, etc., and decompose them into carbon dioxide, water, and carbon compounds. It can also destroy the cell structure of microorganisms, such as viruses, molds, and bacteria, and decompose them into harmless substances such as water molecules, thereby improving the disinfection effect on clothing. In addition, the generated ions also have a purifying effect on the air and can promote physical and mental health.

[0137] Alternatively, the ion generator can also be other devices used for dust removal, odor elimination, air purification, static electricity elimination, etc., such as negative ion generators and static eliminators.

[0138] In an optional embodiment, the disinfection module may further include disinfection lamps installed on the main unit of the clothes drying rack, such as at the bottom of the main unit, connected to a lifting mechanism connected to the main unit (to enable the lamps to be raised or lowered), or at both ends of the main unit. The disinfection lamps perform a switching operation in response to a switch control signal from the main controller. Optionally, the disinfection lamps may be disinfection appliances with disinfection and sterilization functions, such as UVC LED disinfection lamps. As shown in Figure 6, the main controller of the main unit can send a constant current drive control signal for disinfection to the disinfection drive module, which then drives the UVC disinfection.

[0139] As shown in Figures 3 and 6, the disinfection detection module is connected to the main controller and communicates bidirectionally with it. Optionally, the disinfection detection module may include at least one of a photosensitive sensor, a UV sensor, and an ion sensor. In one example, the photosensitive sensor may be installed on the side of the main unit, such as the side facing outdoors; the UV sensor and the ion sensor may be installed at the left and right ends of the drying rod to obtain detection information of the drying area determined by the arrangement of the drying rod. The arrangement positions of the UV sensor and the ion sensor are interchangeable, and to improve the accuracy of the acquired detection information, corresponding sensors may be arranged on each drying rod.

[0140] In an optional embodiment, to address the driving issues of various system modules, this application embodiment includes a driving module in the clothes drying rack, as shown in Figure 9. This module includes a driving chip U2, whose input is connected to the main controller's IC chip IC1, and whose output is connected to the motor module, ion generator, fan device, disinfection lamp, and drying module, respectively. In this circuit structure, the main controller controls the motor module, drying module, and disinfection module by sending control signals to the driving module. Optionally, as shown in Figure 6, adapting to lighting and display screens, this application also includes corresponding lighting and display drivers. The main controller processor can send driving signals to the corresponding drivers, which then drive the functional modules to operate.

[0141] In this embodiment, to address the power supply issue of each system module, a power module is configured in the clothes drying rack, as shown in Figure 8. This power module is connected to AC mains power and generates pulses through a protection circuit and a rectifier filter circuit, directly supplying them to the switching power supply transformer (Figure 8 shows the corresponding module). The switching power supply transformer stably outputs the supply voltage through each voltage output terminal to power each system module. Optionally, as shown in Figure 8, this embodiment has three voltage output ports, and the output voltage of each port is as follows:

[0142] The first voltage output terminal outputs the first supply voltage, such as 12V;

[0143] The second voltage output terminal outputs a second supply voltage, such as 32V;

[0144] The third voltage output terminal outputs the third power supply voltage, such as 5V.

[0145] Based on this, to meet the power supply requirements of each module, the voltage input terminals of the drive module, ion generator, fan device, disinfection lamp, etc., can be connected to the first voltage output terminal respectively; the voltage input terminal of the motor module can be connected to the second voltage output terminal. It is understood that, as shown in Figure 9, all the modules involved are grounded through the voltage output terminal of the drive module. As shown in Figures 15-17, the circuit modules of each sensor included in the disinfection detection module can be connected to the third voltage output terminal respectively.

[0146] The following description, in conjunction with Figures 6 and 7, describes the various system modules that are also provided for the intelligent configuration of the clothes drying rack in the embodiments of this application.

[0147] In a feasible embodiment, the clothes drying rack provided in this application further includes a sensing module (which can be used for human detection), connected to the main controller. This module responds to the main controller's detection and control signals and detects whether any objects with biological characteristics (such as humans, cats, dogs, etc.) exist in the space surrounding the drying area (e.g., below the drying area, within a 0.5-meter radius). If so, it feeds back the detection result to the main controller, causing the main controller to control the disinfection module to pause operation, correspondingly control the lighting to turn on in the dark, or activate the display screen to show the operating status information of the disinfection module. Optionally, the sensing module may include an infrared sensor, radar, temperature sensor, etc.

[0148] Optionally, if the sensing module does not detect any object with biological characteristics, it will not send a detection result back to the main controller. In this case, if the main controller does not receive a detection result from the sensing module within a preset time, it can directly assume that there are no objects with biological characteristics in the space involved in the clothes drying area and directly instruct the disinfection module to start disinfection. In one example, to improve the accuracy of control and avoid problems caused by sensor module failure or sensing errors, once the main controller instructs the sensing module to perform object detection, the sensing module must send a detection result back within a set time (regardless of whether there are objects with biological characteristics). This allows the main controller to better determine whether it is appropriate to start the disinfection module at this time, avoiding damage to objects with biological characteristics caused by the start of the disinfection function.

[0149] Optionally, considering that the ions generated by the ion generator are harmless to objects with biological characteristics, the detection of the above-mentioned sensing module can be configured only for the disinfection lamp. If the main controller determines that the disinfection lamp needs to be turned on, it first uses the above-described embodiment to instruct the sensing module to perform detection; if the main controller determines that the disinfection lamp does not need to be turned on when the disinfection module is started, it is not necessary to instruct the sensing module to perform detection, and it can directly instruct the ion generator and the fan device to start.

[0150] The circuit diagram of the sensing module is shown in Figure 11. It includes an RF chip CN6 and various configured resistors and capacitors. The data transmission terminal RFDATA of the RF chip CN6 is connected to the RF data terminal RFDATA of the IC chip IC1 of the main controller. The voltage input terminal is connected to the third voltage output terminal of the power supply module, and the voltage output terminal is grounded.

[0151] In a feasible embodiment, the clothes drying rack provided in this application also includes a display module, which is connected to the main controller and used to display the working information of the disinfection module and the operating status of some functional modules, machine fault code errors, and other information, so as to facilitate user maintenance of the clothes drying rack. As shown in Figure 19, the display screen included in the display module is driven by an independent display driver module. This display driver module includes a driver chip U1, whose voltage input terminal is connected to the third voltage output terminal of the power module, and the voltage output terminal is grounded. Each port is connected to the light-emitting diode it controls, responsible for driving the display screen to show the current UVC and plasma disinfection process, the percentage of ion concentration values, and other logic function status indicators, which helps users to more intuitively perceive the operating status of each function of the clothes drying rack. Optionally, the display module can be nested within the flat panel light of the main unit and electrically connected to the main controller of the main unit via wires.

[0152] In a feasible embodiment, the clothes drying rack provided in this application also includes a remote control module, which is connected to the main controller and used to wirelessly transmit data to the main controller. Optionally, the remote control module can wirelessly receive data transmitted by external devices. The circuit diagram of the remote control module is shown in Figure 12, which includes an RF chip RF1 and various configured resistors and capacitors; wherein the data transmission terminal RFDATA of the RF chip RF1 is connected to the RF data terminal RFDATA of the IC chip IC1 of the main controller, the voltage input terminal is connected to the third voltage output terminal of the power module, and the voltage output terminal is grounded.

[0153] It is understandable that the sensing module and the remote control module can use the same circuit layout, and both are powered by the third power supply voltage output by the switching power transformer of the power module through the third voltage output terminal.

[0154] In one feasible embodiment, the clothes drying rack provided in this application also includes a wireless communication module (WIFI module), which is connected to the main controller and used to acquire meteorological information of the clothes drying rack's geographical location and send it to the main controller. Optionally, the clothes drying rack can communicate wirelessly with external devices, such as terminals or servers, through the wireless communication module to perform data transmission.

[0155] The circuit diagram of the wireless communication module is shown in Figure 13. It includes the wireless communication chip CN5 and various configured resistors. The data receiving terminal RXD of the wireless communication chip CN5 is connected to the data transmitting terminal TXD of the main controller's IC chip IC1, and the data transmitting terminal TXD is connected to the data receiving terminal RXD of the main controller's IC chip IC1. The voltage input terminal is connected to the third voltage output terminal of the power supply module, and the voltage output terminal is grounded. The third voltage output terminal outputs a third supply voltage from the switching power supply transformer to power the wireless communication module.

[0156] In a feasible embodiment, the clothes drying rack provided in this application also includes a voice module, which is connected to the main controller and used to acquire voice data for human-computer interaction and send it to the main controller. The main controller then sends control signals to the disinfection module, drying module, lighting module, display module, and / or motor module based on the voice data. Optionally, the voice module is used to intelligently acquire human-computer interaction data of keyword voice, wake up the main controller to execute the corresponding control program, and control each module to perform corresponding actions, such as instructing the raising and lowering of the drying rod, turning on the disinfection module, turning on the lighting, and turning on the display screen. The circuit diagram of the voice module is shown in Figure 18, which includes a voice chip CN4 and various configured resistors, capacitors, and diodes. The data receiving terminal RXD1 of the voice chip CN4 is connected to the data transmitting terminal TXD1 of the IC chip IC1 of the main controller 1, and the data transmitting terminal TXD1 is connected to the data receiving terminal RXD1 of the IC chip IC1 of the main controller 1. The voltage input terminal is connected to the third voltage output terminal of the power supply module, and the voltage output terminal is grounded. The third voltage output terminal is supplied with a third power supply voltage by the switching power supply transformer to power the voice module.

[0157] In a feasible embodiment, the clothes drying rack provided in this application also includes an obstruction detection module, which is connected to the main controller and is used to detect whether the operation of the clothes drying rod is obstructed during the lifting and lowering process, and to feed back the detection result to the main controller. The circuit diagram of the obstruction detection module is shown in Figure 14. It includes a detection chip CN7 and various configured resistors and capacitors. The obstruction detection module is equipped with an upward obstruction detection terminal SUB-UP for detecting obstruction during the upward process, a downward obstruction detection terminal SUB-DOWN for detecting obstruction during the downward process, and a force obstruction detection terminal HAMPER for detecting obstruction signals or lifting signals (such as detecting whether the steel cable connecting the main unit and the clothes drying rod is under force). The upward obstruction detection terminal SUB-UP is connected to port 5 of the IC chip IC1 of the main controller 1, the downward obstruction detection terminal SUB-DOWN is connected to port 6 of the IC chip IC1 of the main controller 1, and the force obstruction detection terminal HAMPER is connected to port 4 of the IC chip IC1 of the main controller 1. In addition, the voltage input terminal of the detection chip CN7 is connected to the first voltage output terminal, and the voltage output terminal is grounded.

[0158] In a feasible embodiment, the clothes drying rack provided in this application also includes a lighting drive module connected to the main controller, used to drive the lighting lamp to switch on and off in response to the control signal of the main controller, providing lighting for the object being operated. The circuit diagram of the lighting drive module is shown in Figure 8, including a driver chip U3 and an LED CN14 connected to the driver chip U3; the voltage input terminal of the driver chip U3 is connected to a second voltage output terminal, and the voltage output terminal is grounded.

[0159] In a feasible embodiment, the clothes drying rack provided in this application also includes a drying module connected to the main controller, used to implement the drying function in response to the control signals of the main controller. The circuit diagram of the drying module can be found in Figure 9, and it is driven by a drive module, with its power supply terminal connected to the output terminal of the protection circuit in the power supply module.

[0160] In one feasible embodiment, taking the activation of the disinfection function as an example, as shown in Figure 7, after the main controller is powered on, initialized, and reset normally, it enters a standby state, waiting for remote control, voice, or other logical commands to activate the disinfection function and other functions of the clothes dryer. The main controller sends a signal to the driver chip to drive the disinfection module to start the disinfection lamp, ion generator, and fan device to work for a preset time (e.g., 60 minutes) and then automatically turn off. Each working time does not exceed the preset time. The time interval for automatically opening the disinfection module can also be set, such as triggering the disinfection module to start and then opening the disinfection lamp and ion generator at a preset frequency interval. The implementation of this application can obtain the detection information obtained by the disinfection detection module, and dynamically adjust the working time and / or working intensity of each disinfection device based on the detection information. For example, under sufficient sunlight during the day, the working time of the disinfection lamp can be shortened to 45 minutes, improving the working efficiency of the disinfection module and reducing the resources required for the disinfection function.

[0161] It should be noted that, in the optional embodiments of this application, the information involved (such as detection information, disinfection module working information, environmental information, and other related data) requires the permission or consent of the user when the above embodiments of this application are applied to specific products or technologies.
