Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of home technology, specifically to a smart home system with an automatic dehumidification device. Background Technology
[0002] Shoe cabinets, as an indispensable part of every household, serve the purpose of storing shoes. However, most common household shoe cabinets currently only serve a storage function, which is too limited. Moreover, there are some problems with their use. For example, shoes that are not worn for a long time are usually stored in shoe boxes, which takes up a lot of space. It is very troublesome to find the shoes later, as they need to be opened one by one to check. In addition, shoes stored for a long time are prone to bacteria growth and mold, which affects the continued use of the shoes and can also cause poor air quality in the home.
[0003] Among them, announcement number CN218999832U discloses a smart home device with an automatic dehumidification system, including a cabinet composed of an upper cabinet, a middle cabinet, and a lower cabinet fixedly connected from top to bottom. In this invention, the upper cabinet can be used to store shoes that are not currently worn. Infrared sensors detect when shoes are placed in the compartments and transmit the detected information to a control box. A storage module in the control box stores the location information of the stored shoes. When shoes need to be retrieved later, a touchscreen is clicked to display photos of the shoes arranged in a rectangular array. The photos allow for a clear view of the shoe's row and column within the multiple compartments, making it highly intelligent. Plastic sealing prevents mold growth even after long-term storage. Shoes that are frequently used are stored in the lower cabinet. When the humidity in the air is too high, a dehumidifier is activated to dehumidify the interior of the lower cabinet. The collected moisture drains into a collection box, maintaining the dryness of the lower cabinet and preventing bacterial growth. However, this technical solution still has some shortcomings:
[0004] In this technical solution, the humidity sensor is fixedly installed on one side of the cabinet. However, there are many partitions inside the cabinet, so the humidity sensor in a fixed position cannot perform comprehensive humidity detection inside the cabinet, making it inconvenient to perform accurate dehumidification inside the cabinet. Summary of the Invention
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a smart home system with an automatic dehumidification device. This system has the advantage of being able to detect humidity in each layer of the home and perform more precise dehumidification. It solves the problem in existing smart homes with automatic dehumidification devices where the humidity sensor is fixedly installed on one side of the cabinet. Since there are many partitions in the cabinet, the fixed-position humidity sensor cannot perform comprehensive humidity detection inside the cabinet, making it inconvenient to perform precise dehumidification.

[0020] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a smart home with an automatic dehumidification device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. This smart home device with automatic dehumidification uses a motor to drive an incomplete gear, which in turn drives a second gear, which in turn drives a reciprocating screw. The reciprocating screw drives a rack plate to move back and forth, which in turn drives a first gear to move back and forth, which in turn drives a winding roller to move back and forth. This causes the winding roller to pull the rope, which in turn moves the humidity sensor between multiple partitions, enabling humidity detection at different locations inside the cabinet and allowing for more precise dehumidification.
[0023] 2. In this smart home device with automatic dehumidification, after the block is inserted into the square shell, the incomplete gear drives the third gear to rotate, which in turn drives the crossbar to rotate. The crossbar, through the transmission of the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear, drives the cleaning ring to rotate. The rotating cleaning ring can scrape and clean the surface of the humidity sensor, keeping the surface of the humidity sensor clean, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the humidity sensor.
