[0028] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0029] A clothes airing machine and a control method and device thereof, and an electronic device according to embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the clothes airing machine in another embodiment of the present application.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 , the clothes airing machine comprises a clothes detection device 101, a light intensity detection device 102, a driving device 103, a light refraction device 104, and a light intensity adjustment device 105, and the control device 100 is connected with the clothes detection device 101, the light intensity detection device 102, the driving device 103, the light refraction device 104, and the light intensity adjustment device 105, respectively.

[0032] The clothes detection device 101 in the embodiment can be used to detect the clothes position information and clothes type information of the clothes to be dried, wherein the clothes position information can be determined by processing the information obtained by the position sensor, weight sensor and the like, and the clothes type information can be processed by the clothes image and AI algorithm. First, the photos of different types of clothes are transmitted to the control device 100 for AI learning, and then the clothes to be dried are photographed, and the photos of the clothes to be dried are transmitted to the control device 100 for AI algorithm processing, so as to determine the clothes type information of the clothes to be dried. More specifically, the clothes type information can include silk, chemical fiber, knitted fabric, ramie and the like. It can be understood that the drying modes corresponding to different types of clothes are different. For example, if the clothes of silk type are irradiated with high intensity, the silk fibers in the clothes may be brittle, and the silk may be yellow and deteriorated. The light intensity detection device 102 in the embodiment can be used to detect the current light irradiation intensity of the environment where the clothes drying machine is located. Specifically, the current position can be located by the positioner, and the current light irradiation intensity of the current position can be obtained through the Internet. Of course, the light irradiation intensity can also be obtained by setting a light irradiation intensity sensor. The driving device 103 in the embodiment is used to drive the clothes drying machine to move up and down, left and right, forward and backward. The light refraction device 104 is used to refract the current light. Of course, if the clothes drying machine also has a light source lamp, the light emitted by the light source lamp can also be refracted. It can be understood that the light refraction device 104 in the embodiment can be used to refract the light irradiated on the clothes to be dried. The light intensity adjusting device 105 is used to adjust the light intensity on the clothes to be dried, which includes increasing the light intensity and reducing the light intensity. More specifically, the light intensity adjusting device 105 in the embodiment can include a light source lamp and a light attenuator. The light intensity irradiated on the clothes to be dried can be increased by the light source lamp, and the light intensity irradiated on the clothes to be dried can be reduced by the light attenuator. It should be noted that in the embodiment, the clothes detection device 101, the light intensity detection device 102, the driving device 103, the light refraction device 104 and the light intensity adjusting device 105 can be wirelessly connected with the control device 100, so as to improve the installation convenience of the clothes drying machine. In addition, the devices in the embodiment can be installed in the clothes drying machine body or externally installed. According to different installation environments, the best installation position can be selected. Specifically, the devices can be installed in a place with abundant sunlight, such as a balcony.

[0033] Figure 2 is a control method flow chart of the clothes drying machine in an embodiment of the application.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2 , the application provides a control method of a clothes drying machine, which comprises the following steps:

[0035] S10, obtain clothes type information and clothes position information of clothes to be dried.

[0036] Specifically, the embodiment can uniformly arrange multiple weight sensors on the clothes drying machine, and then determine the number of clothes to be dried at different positions of the clothes drying machine according to the weight information obtained by the weight sensors, or determine the specific drying position of the clothes on the clothes drying machine. Of course, in other embodiments, the clothes position information can also be determined in other ways, such as directly determining the clothes position information by photographing, and the embodiment can not limit the specific determination manner. The clothes detection device in the embodiment can also determine the clothes type information, which can be determined by photographing the clothes and processing by AI algorithm, and then the clothes type information of the clothes to be dried can be determined. Of course, it can also be a more direct and accurate way, that is, the user directly inputs the clothes type information, and the embodiment can not limit the determination manner of the clothes type information.

[0037] S20, determine the drying mode of the clothes to be dried according to the clothes type information.

[0038] Specifically, after obtaining the clothes type information, the drying mode corresponding to the clothes to be dried can be determined according to the clothes type information, wherein the drying mode can include a drying light irradiation intensity range and a drying light irradiation time range. In one specific embodiment, as shown in Table 1, the drying light irradiation intensity range corresponding to silk clothes is 0 mW / m2-25 mW / m2, and the drying light irradiation time range is 3-4 hours; the drying light irradiation intensity range corresponding to chemical fiber clothes is 50 mW / m2-100 mW / m2, and the drying light irradiation time range is 2-3 hours; the drying light irradiation intensity range corresponding to knitted clothes is 100 mW / m2-150 mW / m2, and the drying light irradiation time range is 2-3 hours; and the drying light irradiation intensity range corresponding to linen cotton clothes is 150 mW / m2-250 mW / m2, and the drying light irradiation time range is 1-2 hours. It should be noted that the drying light irradiation intensity in the embodiment can be ultraviolet intensity.

[0039] Table 1

[0040] Clothing type information Sunlight irradiation intensity range Sunlight irradiation time range Silk 0 mW / m2~ 25 mW / m2 3~4 hours Chemical fiber 50 mW / m2~ 100 mW / m2 2~3 hours Knitwear 100 mW / m2~ 150 mW / m2 2~3 hours Hemp cotton 150 mW / m2~ 250 mW / m2 1~2 hours

[0041] S30, obtain the current light irradiation intensity of the environment where the clothes drying machine is located.

[0042] Specifically, the embodiment also provides a light intensity detection device for detecting the current light irradiation intensity in the environment. Since the sunlight irradiation intensity on the clothes changes over time, the current light irradiation intensity is also acquired in the embodiment, which can be acquired by a light intensity sensor or acquired from the local weather information of the weather bureau through the Internet.

[0043] S40, adjusting one or more of the clothes position, the light irradiation angle and the light irradiation intensity according to the current light irradiation intensity, the clothes drying mode and the clothes position information.

[0044] Specifically, after the current light irradiation intensity, the clothes drying mode of the clothes to be dried and the clothes position information are acquired, the clothes position can be adjusted by controlling the driving device so that the clothes to be dried are dried in the clothes drying mode. Of course, the light irradiation angle can be adjusted by controlling the light refraction device or the light irradiation intensity can be adjusted by controlling the light intensity adjustment device, and the clothes position, the light irradiation angle and the light irradiation intensity can be controlled to achieve the function. It can be understood that by controlling at least one of the driving device, the light refraction device and the light intensity adjustment device, the clothes to be dried can be prevented from being damaged by sunlight, which guarantees the service life and use experience of the clothes to a certain extent, and the clothes can be dried at the same time, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0045] In one embodiment of the application, adjusting one or more of the clothes position, the light irradiation angle and the light irradiation intensity according to the current light irradiation intensity, the clothes drying mode and the clothes position information comprises: when the current light irradiation intensity is in the clothes drying light irradiation intensity range, controlling the clothes position and / or the light irradiation angle according to the clothes position information, so that the clothes to be dried are irradiated by the current light irradiation intensity for a preset time length, and the preset time length is in the clothes drying light irradiation time range.

[0046] Specifically, the current light irradiation intensity detected by the light intensity detection device is first judged. If it is determined that the current light irradiation intensity is in the clothes drying light irradiation intensity range, it means that the current light can be directly used for drying clothes, so the driving device can be further controlled to drive the clothes to a position that can be directly irradiated by sunlight, or the light refraction device can be controlled to refract sunlight to the current position of the clothes so that the sunlight can irradiate the clothes. Of course, the driving device and the light refraction device can also be controlled at the same time to increase the implementation scheme and improve the probability of scheme implementation.

[0047] In another embodiment of the present application, the one or more of the clothes position, the light irradiation angle and the light irradiation intensity are adjusted according to the current light irradiation intensity, the drying mode and the clothes position information, including: when the current light irradiation intensity is not in the drying light irradiation intensity range, the light irradiation intensity is adjusted according to the drying light irradiation intensity range, and the clothes position and / or the light irradiation angle are controlled according to the clothes position information, so that the clothes to be dried are irradiated with the adjusted light irradiation intensity for a preset time length, and the preset time length is in the drying light irradiation time range.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, if it is determined that the current light irradiation intensity is not in the drying light irradiation intensity range, it means that the current light cannot be directly used for drying clothes, and there are two cases, one is that the current light irradiation intensity is too large, and the other is that the current light irradiation intensity is too small. If the current light irradiation intensity is too small, the light source lamps in the light intensity adjusting device can be controlled to work to increase the light source, so as to increase the current light irradiation intensity; if the current light irradiation intensity is too large, the light attenuator in the light intensity adjusting device can be controlled to work to attenuate the irradiation intensity of the current light, so that the adjusted light irradiation intensity is in the drying irradiation intensity range, and then can be directly used for irradiating clothes. After the adjustment of the light intensity is completed, the driving device and / or the light refraction device are controlled according to the clothes position information in this embodiment, so that the adjusted light can irradiate and dry the clothes to be dried. It can be understood that this embodiment can also realize the drying of clothes when the current environment is relatively humid, and the environmental adaptability of the clothes drying machine is improved.

[0049] In addition, it should be noted that different types of clothes correspond to different drying modes, and different types of clothes may be dried on the same clothes drying machine. Therefore, the driving device and the light refraction device can be used to adjust the clothes drying machine and the light irradiation position, and the light intensity adjusting device can be used to adjust the irradiation light intensity of the clothes to be dried, so that different types of clothes on the same clothes drying machine can be irradiated with different light intensities.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the one or more of the clothes position, the light irradiation angle and the light irradiation intensity are adjusted according to the current light irradiation intensity, the drying mode and the clothes position information, including: when the current light irradiation intensity exceeds the drying light irradiation intensity range, the clothes position and / or the light irradiation angle are controlled according to the clothes position information, so that the light avoids the clothes to be dried.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, if it is determined that the current light intensity exceeds the range of light intensity required for drying clothes, that is, if the current light intensity is greater than the light intensity required for drying clothes, then the driving device and / or the light refraction device can be directly controlled to directly avoid the light on the clothes to be dried or to avoid the light on the clothes to be dried, thereby protecting the clothes and maximizing the service life of the clothes.

[0052] More specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the user first selects information such as clothing type and material. The clothes dryer then automatically selects the drying mode based on this selection. Next, a light intensity detection device detects and judges the intensity of natural light. If the natural light intensity is within the range of the selected drying mode's light intensity, the device detects the clothing position and activates a sunlight refraction device to direct sunlight onto the clothing. If the natural light intensity is not within the range of the selected drying mode's light intensity, the device detects the clothing position and activates a sunlight refraction device to direct sunlight away from the clothing. In this embodiment, after activating the sunlight refraction device to direct sunlight onto the clothing, it further determines whether the irradiation time has reached the selected drying mode's light irradiation time. If yes, it detects the clothing position and activates a sunlight refraction device to direct sunlight away from the clothing; otherwise, it continues to detect the clothing position and activate a sunlight refraction device to direct sunlight onto the clothing.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control method further includes: controlling the illumination angle so that the light is refracted to a preset position.

[0054] Specifically, after avoiding the light from the clothes to be dried, this embodiment can also refract the light to a preset position through a light refraction device. Optionally, the preset position can be a position selected by the user, such as a guest room, bedroom, or balcony, to improve the lighting of the house.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drying mode also corresponds to a corresponding wind force range, and the control method further includes: controlling the wind force level of the environment where the clothes to be dried are located according to the wind force range.

[0056] Specifically, the drying mode in this embodiment also includes a wind force range. Combined with ventilation, this further enhances the versatility and effectiveness of clothing drying. Specifically, a fan can be installed in the clothes drying machine. When the drying mode, determined based on the type of clothing, includes a wind force range, the fan's operation can be controlled to ensure that the wind force generated by the fan is within the wind force range of the drying mode. It should be noted that the same type of clothing can correspond to multiple different drying modes. For example, if the garment requires sunlight, a drying mode that does not require light can be selected, such as by increasing the wind force level to achieve the purpose of drying the clothes.

[0057] In conclusion, the control method of the clothes airing machine in the embodiment of the present application can improve the airing effect and service life of clothes, thereby ensuring the use experience of the user.

[0058] Further, the present application also provides an electronic device, which stores the control program of the clothes airing machine, and the control program of the clothes airing machine is executed by the processor to realize the control method of the clothes airing machine according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device executes the control program of the clothes airing machine stored therein by the processor, which can improve the airing effect and service life of clothes, thereby ensuring the use experience of the user.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the airing mode corresponds to a corresponding airing light irradiation intensity range and an airing light irradiation time range.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the control device 201 is specifically configured to: when the current light irradiation intensity is in the airing light irradiation intensity range, control the clothes position and / or the light irradiation angle according to the clothes position information, so that the clothes to be aired is irradiated at the current light irradiation intensity for a preset time length, and the preset time length is in the airing light irradiation time range.
