[0100] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0101] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product, or end that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or ends.

[0102] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0103] This invention discloses an intelligent drying control method and device for a clothes dryer. It can improve the reliability and accuracy of determining the drying control parameters based on the current actual condition of the clothes. This allows for precise control of the clothes dryer based on the drying control parameters, thereby ensuring the drying effect of the clothes, reducing the occurrence of clothes that are still damp or have faded, and improving the user experience.

[0104] Example 1

[0105] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an intelligent drying control method for a clothes dryer disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The described intelligent drying control method for dryers can be applied to control the drying of dryers / dryers that only have drying functions, or to control the drying of washing machines that have washing, drying, and sterilization functions. This invention is not limited in its embodiments. Optionally, this method can be implemented by a drying control device, which can be integrated into the aforementioned dryer, dryer, or washing machine, or it can exist independently, such as a local server or cloud server that processes the drying control process. This invention is not limited in its embodiments. Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent drying control method for this dryer may include the following operations:

[0106] 101. Determine the target parameters for the clothes that need to be dried.

[0107] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, the target parameters include clothing parameters and / or liquid content parameters. Further optionally, the clothing parameters include at least one of clothing material parameters, clothing type parameters, and clothing dye type parameters, such as the clothing being a white silk garment, gray socks, etc.; while the liquid content parameters include liquid content type parameters and / or liquid content parameters, such as the clothing containing water and a small amount of gasoline, etc.

[0108] 102. Determine the drying control parameters for the dryer based on the target parameters of the clothing.

[0109] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, the drying control parameters of the dryer may include control parameters of multiple operating components included in the dryer, wherein all operating components may include at least one of a drum, an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and a drain outlet. Further optionally, the control parameters of the drum may include control parameters for the drum's rotation direction, rotation speed, and rotation time; the control parameters of the evaporator may include control parameters for the evaporator's operating temperature, operating time, evaporation capacity, and evaporation direction; the control parameters of the compressor may include control parameters for the compressor's operating power and operating time; the control parameters of the condenser may include control parameters for the condensing temperature, condensing time, and condensation capacity; and the control parameters of the drain outlet may include control parameters for the drain outlet's on / off state and drainage capacity.

[0110] 103. Control the dryer to dry clothes according to the drying control parameters.

[0111] In an embodiment of the invention, for example, the drain outlet is first opened according to the drain outlet's on / off control parameters to drain excess water from the drum, and then closed after draining. Then, according to the drum's rotation direction control parameters, speed control parameters, and rotation time control parameters, the drum is controlled to rotate the clothes for 30 minutes. During these 30 minutes, the evaporator and compressor can simultaneously exchange heat with the moisture in the air according to the evaporator's operating temperature control parameters, operating time control parameters, and compressor's operating power control parameters, to evaporate the moisture on the surface of the clothes. Furthermore, according to the condenser's condensation temperature control parameters and condensation time control parameters, the condenser is controlled to condense the moisture in the humid air inside the drum to discharge the condensate. This cycle continues.

[0112] As can be seen, implementing the embodiments of the present invention can determine the drying control parameters of the dryer based on the clothing parameters and / or liquid content parameters, and then realize the drying control operation of the dryer based on the drying control parameters. In this way, the reliability and accuracy of determining the drying control parameters can be improved based on the current actual condition of the clothing, and the dryer can be precisely controlled based on the drying control parameters. This helps to ensure the drying effect of the clothing, reduce the occurrence of clothing still being damp or fading, and improve the user experience.

[0113] In an optional embodiment, step 102 above, determining the drying control parameters for the dryer based on the target parameters of the clothing, includes:

[0114] Determine the quantity parameter of the clothing and determine whether the quantity parameter is greater than or equal to the preset quantity parameter threshold.

[0115] If the judgment result is negative, determine the drying control parameters for the dryer based on the target parameters of the clothes;

[0116] When the judgment result is yes, determine the placement of the clothes, and based on the placement of the clothes and the target parameters, predict whether the target contact between the clothes is the preset contact situation.

[0117] When the target contact condition is predicted to be different from the preset contact condition, the drying control parameters for the dryer are determined based on the target parameters of the clothes.

[0118] When the target contact condition is predicted to be the preset contact condition, the drying control parameters for the dryer are determined based on the placement of the clothes, the target parameters, and the target contact condition.

[0119] In this optional embodiment, when the number of clothes is less than a threshold value, or when the number of clothes is greater than or equal to the threshold value and the target contact condition between the clothes meets a preset contact condition, the drying control parameters can be directly determined based on the clothes parameters and liquid content parameters. Otherwise, the drying control parameters need to be further determined by considering the placement of the clothes and the target contact condition. Optionally, the threshold value can be set to 1 or other values. Further optionally, the target contact condition can be understood as the contact between clothes, the contact between clothes and flowing water, or even the contact between clothes and evaporated water vapor during the operation of the dryer.

[0120] As can be seen, this optional embodiment can determine the drying control parameters for the dryer based on the target parameters of the clothing or, further, the placement of the clothing and the contact with the target. This helps to improve the comprehensiveness of the determination of the drying control parameters, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the determination of the drying control parameters. This facilitates precise drying control of the dryer and reduces the occurrence of dampness, fading, or even staining of clothing.

[0121] In another optional embodiment, the step of predicting whether the target contact situation between the clothing items is a preset contact situation based on the placement of the clothing and the target parameters includes:

[0122] Determine the basic rolling condition of the dryer drum;

[0123] Based on the basic rolling of the roller and the placement of the clothes, predict whether the clothes will come into contact with each other while the roller is rolling.

[0124] When it is predicted that clothing contact will occur, based on the target parameters, it is predicted whether color molecules will penetrate between the clothing when clothing contact occurs.

[0125] When it is predicted that no color molecules will penetrate, the target contact situation between the garments is determined to be different from the preset contact situation.

[0126] When color molecule penetration is predicted, the first clothing color influence degree corresponding to the color molecule penetration degree is determined based on the color molecule penetration degree, and it is determined whether the first clothing color influence degree is greater than or equal to the preset first color influence degree threshold.

[0127] When it is determined that the influence of the first garment color is less than the first color influence threshold, it is determined that the target contact situation between the garments is not the preset contact situation;

[0128] When it is determined that the influence of the first clothing color is greater than or equal to the first color influence threshold, the target contact situation between the clothing is determined as the preset contact situation.

[0129] In this optional embodiment, the basic rolling condition may optionally include a minimum rolling rate parameter and / or a rolling direction parameter. For example, based on the basic rolling condition of the roller, it can be predicted that clothing A and clothing B will come into contact. After analyzing the materials of both garments, it is determined that color molecules will penetrate between them, meaning that the dye from clothing B may penetrate into clothing A. Further analysis of the first color influence between the two garments reveals that since clothing A is white and clothing B is red, when the red color molecules from clothing B penetrate into clothing A, clothing A will show significant staining. Therefore, it can be determined that the first color influence is greater than the first color influence threshold, meaning that the target contact condition between the two garments is the preset contact condition. Subsequently, when determining the drying control parameters, it can be considered to control the roller to first separate the two garments and preliminarily drain excess water from both garments through the drain outlet before proceeding with the drying process, thereby reducing the occurrence of staining between the garments.

[0130] As can be seen, this optional embodiment can analyze whether color molecules will penetrate between clothes based on the basic rolling of the dryer and the placement of the clothes. If so, it further determines the first color influence degree of the clothes corresponding to the color molecule penetration, thereby determining whether the target contact between clothes is a preset contact condition. In this way, the analysis of the target contact between clothes is made intelligent, improving the reliability and accuracy of the operation of determining the target contact between clothes. This is conducive to improving the effectiveness of subsequent determination of the drying control parameters of the dryer and reducing the occurrence of clothing staining.

[0131] In yet another optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0132] When it is predicted that there will be no contact between the clothing and the garment, the liquid outflow situation of the clothing is determined based on the target parameters of the clothing.

[0133] Based on the liquid outflow and basic rolling conditions, predict whether liquid will seep into the clothes as the drum rolls.

[0134] When it is predicted that no liquids will interpenetrate, the target contact condition between the clothing is determined to be different from the preset contact condition.

[0135] When liquid interpenetration is predicted, the liquid color penetration between garments is determined based on the liquid interpenetration and the target parameters of the garments, and the second garment color influence degree corresponding to the liquid color penetration is determined; it is then determined whether the second garment color influence degree is greater than or equal to the preset second color influence degree threshold.

[0136] When it is determined that the influence of the second garment color is less than the second garment color influence threshold, it is determined that the target contact situation between the garments is not the preset contact situation;

[0137] When it is determined that the influence of the second garment color is greater than or equal to the second color influence threshold, the target contact situation between the garments is determined as the preset contact situation.

[0138] In this optional embodiment, for example, based on the basic rolling condition of the drum, it is predicted that there will be no contact between clothing C and clothing D. After analyzing the materials of the two clothing items, it is found that clothing D is a material that easily absorbs water. That is, the dye of clothing C may penetrate into clothing D through excess water. Then, the influence of the second clothing color between the two is further analyzed: since clothing D is white and clothing C is red, it can be analyzed that when the red color molecules of clothing C penetrate into clothing D through excess water, clothing D will show obvious staining. It can be determined that the influence of the second clothing color is greater than the second color influence threshold. That is, the target contact condition between the two clothing items is the preset contact condition. Then, when determining the drying control parameters, it can be considered to first drain the excess water of the two clothing items through the drain outlet. Then, when controlling the rolling of the drum, try to ensure that the two clothing items do not come into contact with each other before the drying process, so as to reduce the occurrence of staining between clothing items.

[0139] As can be seen, this optional embodiment can analyze the liquid outflow of clothing through target parameters of the clothing, and then analyze the liquid interpenetration between clothing based on the liquid outflow. When the second clothing color influence degree corresponding to the liquid interpenetration is greater than or equal to the preset second color influence degree threshold, the target contact condition between clothing is determined as the preset contact condition. In this way, the comprehensiveness of the analysis of the target contact condition between clothing can be improved, which can further improve the reliability and accuracy of the determination of the drying control parameters of the dryer. Thus, the occurrence of clothing staining caused by excess colored water can be reduced through precise and effective control of the dryer, thereby ensuring the drying effect and wearing effect of the user's clothes.

[0140] In yet another optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0141] When it is predicted that there will be no contact between clothes and the evaporator of the dryer, determine the basic operating status of the dryer.

[0142] Based on the basic operating conditions and target parameters of the evaporator, determine the moisture dissipation between clothes under the operation of the evaporator;

[0143] Based on the water vapor dispersion and target parameters, determine the water vapor dispersion and its effect on the color penetration between garments, and determine the third garment color influence degree corresponding to the water vapor color penetration degree; determine whether the third garment color influence degree is greater than or equal to the preset third color influence degree threshold.

[0144] When it is determined that the influence of the third garment color is less than the third garment color influence threshold, it is determined that the target contact situation between the garments is not the preset contact situation;

[0145] When it is determined that the influence of the third garment color is greater than or equal to the third garment color influence threshold, the target contact situation between the garments is determined as the preset contact situation.

[0146] In this optional embodiment, the basic operating conditions may optionally include minimum operating power parameters and / or minimum evaporation temperature parameters. For example, based on the basic rolling conditions of the drum, if it is predicted that there will be no contact between garment E and garment F, and after analyzing the liquid content parameters of both garments, it is found that a large amount of steam will be generated during the evaporation of surface moisture from garment E. That is, the dye from garment E may penetrate into garment F in the form of steam. Further analysis of the third garment color influence between the two garments is then performed: since both garment E and garment F are black, it can be analyzed that when the black color molecules from garment E penetrate into garment F through steam, garment F will not show significant staining. Therefore, it can be determined that the third garment color influence is less than the third color influence threshold, meaning that the target contact condition between the two garments is not the preset contact condition. Subsequently, when determining the drying control parameters, the drying control parameters can be directly determined based on the target parameters of the two garments. On the other hand, if the influence of the third garment color is determined to be greater than or equal to the threshold of the third color influence through the aforementioned method, then when determining the drying control parameters, the drum can be controlled to initially remove the moisture from both garments to reduce the amount of evaporation during subsequent water vapor evaporation and reduce the occurrence of garment staining.

[0147] As can be seen, this optional embodiment can analyze the moisture dispersion of clothing through target parameters, and then analyze the moisture color penetration between clothing based on the moisture dispersion. When the third clothing color influence degree corresponding to the moisture color penetration degree is greater than or equal to the preset third color influence degree threshold, the target contact condition between clothing is determined as the preset contact condition. In this way, the comprehensiveness of the analysis of the target contact condition between clothing is further improved, which in turn improves the reliability and accuracy of the determination of the drying control parameters of the dryer. Thus, the occurrence of clothing staining caused by colored moisture can be reduced through precise and effective control of the dryer, thereby ensuring the drying effect and wearing effect of the user's clothes.

[0148] Example 2

[0149] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another intelligent drying control method for a clothes dryer disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2The described intelligent drying control method for dryers can be applied to control the drying of dryers / dryers that only have drying functions, or to control the drying of washing machines that have washing, drying, and sterilization functions. This invention is not limited in its embodiments. Optionally, this method can be implemented by a drying control device, which can be integrated into the aforementioned dryer, dryer, or washing machine, or it can exist independently, such as a local server or cloud server that processes the drying control process. This invention is not limited in its embodiments. Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent drying control method for this dryer may include the following operations:

[0150] 201. Determine the target parameters for the clothes that need to be dried.

[0151] 202. Determine the drying control parameters for the dryer based on the target parameters of the clothing.

[0152] 203. Control the dryer to dry the clothes according to the drying control parameters.

[0153] 204. During the drying process, monitor the changes in the clothes.

[0154] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, the changes in clothes drying include at least one of the following: clothes deformation, clothes wrinkling, and clothes color change.

[0155] 205. Based on the changes in the clothes drying process, determine whether the changes in the clothes drying process meet the preset drying change conditions.

[0156] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, the deformation amplitude parameter of the clothing can be determined based on the deformation of the clothing, the wrinkle amplitude parameter of the clothing can be determined based on the wrinkles of the clothing, or the color change amplitude parameter of the clothing can be determined based on the color change of the clothing. Then, it is determined whether the deformation amplitude parameter, the wrinkle amplitude parameter, or the color change amplitude parameter exceeds a preset parameter threshold. If so, it is determined that the drying change does not meet the preset drying change conditions; otherwise, the opposite is true.

[0157] 206. When it is determined that the drying change conditions are not met, the operating component to be adjusted is identified from all operating components, and the corresponding drying adjustment parameters of the operating component to be adjusted are determined.

[0158] In this embodiment of the invention, when it is determined that the drying change conditions are met, there is no need to adjust the current drying control parameters of the dryer, and the clothes can continue to be dried by the dryer.

[0159] 207. Perform drying adjustment control operations on the dryer according to the drying adjustment parameters corresponding to the components to be adjusted.

[0160] In this embodiment of the invention, the current drying control parameters of the dryer are adjusted according to the drying adjustment parameters corresponding to the operating component to be adjusted.

[0161] In this embodiment of the invention, for other descriptions of steps 201-203, please refer to the detailed description of steps 101-103 in Embodiment 1. This embodiment of the invention will not repeat them.

[0162] As can be seen, by monitoring the changes in the clothes during drying, it is possible to determine whether the preset drying conditions are met. If the drying conditions are not met, the drying machine is then adjusted and controlled. This improves the reliability and accuracy of the condition determination operation for the changes in the clothes during drying, thereby improving the effectiveness of the drying adjustment and control operation of the drying machine. This helps to ensure that the clothes do not undergo excessive deformation, wrinkles, or color changes during drying.

[0163] In an optional embodiment, step 206 above, which involves determining the operating component to be adjusted from all operating components and determining the drying adjustment parameters corresponding to the operating component to be adjusted, includes:

[0164] Determine the current operating parameters of all operating components, and based on the current operating parameters of all operating components and the changes in drying conditions, determine the drying influence parameters of each operating component corresponding to the changes in drying conditions.

[0165] Based on the drying influence parameters of all operating components, identify all operating components whose drying influence parameters are greater than or equal to the preset drying influence parameter threshold, and determine the adjustable degree parameter corresponding to each operating component.

[0166] Based on the adjustable parameters of all pending adjustment components, identify the adjustment components whose adjustable parameters are greater than or equal to the preset threshold values, and determine the drying adjustment parameters corresponding to the adjustment components based on the drying changes.

[0167] In this optional embodiment, determining the adjustability parameter corresponding to each pending adjustment component can be understood as analyzing whether the current operating parameters of each pending adjustment component have a large adjustment margin. For example, if clothing becomes excessively deformed, and analysis indicates that this is due to the excessive rolling speed of the roller, the rolling speed of the roller can be reduced accordingly to alleviate the current deformation of the clothing.

[0168] As can be seen, this optional embodiment can identify the operating components with a greater impact on drying and greater adjustability by further analyzing the drying influence parameters and adjustability parameters of the operating components, and determine their corresponding drying adjustment parameters. This helps to improve the reliability and accuracy of determining the operating components to be adjusted and their corresponding drying adjustment parameters, thereby further improving the reliability and accuracy of the drying control of the dryer, and thus improving the drying effect on clothes.

[0170] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an intelligent drying control device for a clothes dryer disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the intelligent drying control device of this dryer may include:

[0171] The first determining module 301 is used to determine the target parameters of the clothes that need to be dried;

[0172] The second determining module 302 is used to determine the drying control parameters for the dryer based on the target parameters of the clothes.

[0173] The drying control module 303 is used to control the dryer to dry clothes according to the drying control parameters.

[0174] In this embodiment of the invention, the target parameters include clothing parameters and / or liquid content parameters; the drying control parameters of the dryer include the control parameters of multiple operating components included in the dryer, and all operating components include at least one of the following: drum, evaporator, compressor, condenser and drain outlet.

[0175] It is evident that implementation Figure 3 The described intelligent drying control device for the dryer can determine the drying control parameters of the dryer based on the clothing parameters and / or liquid content parameters. Then, based on these parameters, it can control the drying operation of the dryer. This improves the reliability and accuracy of determining the drying control parameters based on the current condition of the clothing, allowing for precise control of the dryer. This helps ensure the drying effect of the clothes, reduces the occurrence of clothes still being damp or fading, and enhances the user experience.

[0176] In an optional embodiment, the clothing parameters include at least one of clothing material parameters, clothing type parameters, and clothing dye type parameters, and the liquid content parameters include liquid content type parameters and / or liquid content parameters.

[0177] Specifically, the second determining module 302 determines the drying control parameters for the dryer based on the target parameters of the clothing in the following ways:

[0178] Determine the quantity parameter of the clothing and determine whether the quantity parameter is greater than or equal to the preset quantity parameter threshold.

[0179] If the judgment result is negative, determine the drying control parameters for the dryer based on the target parameters of the clothes;

[0180] When the judgment result is yes, determine the placement of the clothes, and based on the placement of the clothes and the target parameters, predict whether the target contact between the clothes is the preset contact situation.

[0181] When the target contact condition is predicted to be different from the preset contact condition, the drying control parameters for the dryer are determined based on the target parameters of the clothes.

[0182] When the target contact condition is predicted to be the preset contact condition, the drying control parameters for the dryer are determined based on the placement of the clothes, the target parameters, and the target contact condition.

[0183] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The intelligent drying control device of the described dryer can determine the drying control parameters for the dryer based on the target parameters of the clothes or, further, the placement of the clothes and the contact status of the target. This helps to improve the comprehensiveness of the determination of the drying control parameters, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the determination of the drying control parameters. This facilitates precise drying control of the dryer and reduces the occurrence of dampness, fading, or even staining of clothes.

[0184] In another optional embodiment, the second determining module 302 predicts whether the target contact situation between the clothing items is a preset contact situation based on the placement of the clothing items and the target parameters, specifically including:

[0185] Determine the basic rolling condition of the dryer drum;

[0186] Based on the basic rolling of the roller and the placement of the clothes, predict whether the clothes will come into contact with each other while the roller is rolling.

[0187] When it is predicted that clothing contact will occur, based on the target parameters, it is predicted whether color molecules will penetrate between the clothing when clothing contact occurs.

[0188] When it is predicted that no color molecules will penetrate, the target contact situation between the garments is determined to be different from the preset contact situation.

[0189] When color molecule penetration is predicted, the first clothing color influence degree corresponding to the color molecule penetration degree is determined based on the color molecule penetration degree, and it is determined whether the first clothing color influence degree is greater than or equal to the preset first color influence degree threshold.

[0190] When it is determined that the influence of the first garment color is less than the first color influence threshold, it is determined that the target contact situation between the garments is not the preset contact situation;

[0191] When it is determined that the influence of the first clothing color is greater than or equal to the first color influence threshold, the target contact situation between the clothing is determined as the preset contact situation.

[0192] In this optional embodiment, the base rolling condition includes a minimum rolling rate parameter and / or a rolling direction parameter.

[0193] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The intelligent drying control device of the described dryer can analyze whether color molecules will penetrate between clothes based on the basic rolling of the dryer and the placement of clothes. If so, it further determines the first color influence degree of the clothes corresponding to the color molecule penetration, and then judges whether the target contact between clothes is a preset contact condition. In this way, the analysis of the target contact between clothes is intelligent, which improves the reliability and accuracy of the operation of judging the target contact between clothes. This is conducive to improving the effectiveness of subsequent determination of the drying control parameters of the dryer and reducing the occurrence of clothing staining.

[0194] In yet another optional embodiment, the second determining module 302 further includes the following method for predicting whether the target contact situation between the clothing items is a preset contact situation based on the placement of the clothing items and the target parameters:

[0195] When it is predicted that there will be no contact between the clothing and the garment, the liquid outflow situation of the clothing is determined based on the target parameters of the clothing.

[0196] Based on the liquid outflow and basic rolling conditions, predict whether liquid will seep into the clothes as the drum rolls.

[0197] When it is predicted that no liquids will interpenetrate, the target contact condition between the clothing is determined to be different from the preset contact condition.

[0198] When liquid interpenetration is predicted, the liquid color penetration between garments is determined based on the liquid interpenetration and the target parameters of the garments, and the second garment color influence degree corresponding to the liquid color penetration is determined; it is then determined whether the second garment color influence degree is greater than or equal to the preset second color influence degree threshold.

[0199] When it is determined that the influence of the second garment color is less than the second garment color influence threshold, it is determined that the target contact situation between the garments is not the preset contact situation;

[0200] When it is determined that the influence of the second garment color is greater than or equal to the second color influence threshold, the target contact situation between the garments is determined as the preset contact situation.

[0201] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The intelligent drying control device of the described dryer can analyze the liquid outflow of the clothes based on the target parameters of the clothes, and then analyze the liquid interpenetration between the clothes based on the liquid outflow. When the second color influence degree corresponding to the liquid interpenetration is greater than or equal to the preset second color influence degree threshold, the target contact condition between the clothes is determined as the preset contact condition. In this way, the comprehensiveness of the analysis of the target contact condition between the clothes can be improved, which in turn can further improve the reliability and accuracy of the determination of the drying control parameters of the dryer. Thus, by controlling the dryer precisely and effectively, the occurrence of color staining caused by excess colored water can be reduced, thereby ensuring the drying effect and wearing effect of the user's clothes.

[0202] In yet another optional embodiment, the second determining module 302 further includes the following method for predicting whether the target contact situation between the clothing items is a preset contact situation based on the placement of the clothing items and the target parameters:

[0203] When it is predicted that there will be no contact between clothes and the evaporator of the dryer, determine the basic operating status of the dryer.

[0204] Based on the basic operating conditions and target parameters of the evaporator, determine the moisture dissipation between clothes under the operation of the evaporator;

[0205] Based on the water vapor dispersion and target parameters, determine the water vapor dispersion and its effect on the color penetration between garments, and determine the third garment color influence degree corresponding to the water vapor color penetration degree; determine whether the third garment color influence degree is greater than or equal to the preset third color influence degree threshold.

[0206] When it is determined that the influence of the third garment color is less than the third garment color influence threshold, it is determined that the target contact situation between the garments is not the preset contact situation;

[0207] When it is determined that the influence of the third garment color is greater than or equal to the third garment color influence threshold, the target contact situation between the garments is determined as the preset contact situation.

[0208] In this optional embodiment, the basic operating conditions include minimum operating power parameters and / or minimum evaporation temperature parameters.

[0209] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The intelligent drying control device of the described dryer can analyze the moisture dispersion of the clothes based on the target parameters of the clothes, and then analyze the moisture color penetration between the clothes based on the moisture dispersion. When the third color influence degree corresponding to the moisture color penetration degree is greater than or equal to the preset third color influence degree threshold, the target contact condition between the clothes is determined as the preset contact condition. In this way, the comprehensiveness of the analysis of the target contact condition between the clothes is further improved, which in turn improves the reliability and accuracy of the determination of the drying control parameters of the dryer. Thus, the occurrence of colored moisture staining of clothes can be reduced through precise and effective control of the dryer, so as to ensure the drying effect and wearing effect of the user's clothes.

[0210] In yet another optional embodiment, the apparatus further includes:

[0211] The monitoring module 304 is used to monitor the changes in the clothes during the drying process.

[0212] The judgment module 305 is used to determine whether the changes in the clothes drying situation meet the preset clothes drying change conditions based on the changes in the clothes drying situation.

[0213] The first determining module 301 is also used to determine the operating component to be adjusted from all operating components and determine the drying adjustment parameters corresponding to the operating component to be adjusted when the judging module 305 determines that the drying change conditions are not met.

[0214] The adjustment and control module 306 is used to perform drying adjustment and control operations on the dryer according to the drying adjustment parameters corresponding to the operating component to be adjusted.

[0215] In this optional embodiment, the changes in clothing after drying include at least one of the following: clothing deformation, clothing wrinkling, and clothing color change.

[0216] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The intelligent drying control device of the described dryer can determine whether the clothes meet the preset drying conditions by monitoring the changes in the clothes during drying. If the drying conditions are not met, the dryer will then adjust the drying control. This improves the reliability and accuracy of the condition determination operation for the changes in the clothes during drying, and thus improves the effectiveness of the drying adjustment control operation. This helps to ensure that the clothes do not undergo excessive deformation, wrinkles, or color changes during drying.

[0217] In another optional embodiment, the first determining module 301 determines the operating component to be adjusted from all operating components, and determines the drying adjustment parameters corresponding to the operating component to be adjusted in the following specific ways:

[0218] Determine the current operating parameters of all operating components, and based on the current operating parameters of all operating components and the changes in drying conditions, determine the drying influence parameters of each operating component corresponding to the changes in drying conditions.

[0219] Based on the drying influence parameters of all operating components, identify all operating components whose drying influence parameters are greater than or equal to the preset drying influence parameter threshold, and determine the adjustable degree parameter corresponding to each operating component.

[0220] Based on the adjustable parameters of all pending adjustment components, identify the adjustment components whose adjustable parameters are greater than or equal to the preset threshold values, and determine the drying adjustment parameters corresponding to the adjustment components based on the drying changes.

[0221] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The intelligent drying control device of the described dryer can further analyze the drying influence parameters and adjustability parameters of the operating components to identify the operating components with greater drying influence and adjustability, and determine their corresponding drying adjustment parameters. This helps to improve the reliability and accuracy of determining the operating components to be adjusted and their corresponding drying adjustment parameters, thereby further improving the reliability and accuracy of the drying control of the dryer and thus improving the drying effect of clothes.
