[0011] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned shaking device, the adjustment mechanism includes a second slider and a second driving mechanism. The second slider is rotatably connected to the adjustment rod and can slide along the length direction of the adjustment rod. The second driving mechanism can drive the second slider to slide, so as to adjust the position of the connection point between the adjustment rod and the second slider, and thus adjust the swing amplitude of the adjustment rod.

[0012] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned shaking device, the second slider is slidably connected to the bracket, and the second driving mechanism includes: a lead screw, which is threadedly connected to the second slider and rotatably connected to the bracket; and a second driving motor, which can drive the lead screw to rotate, so as to move the second slider along the lead screw to adjust the position of the connection point.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] To address the problem that existing garment care devices have poor adaptability to all types of garment care, this invention provides a garment care device for smoothing out wrinkles on the garment surface. It is foreseeable that this device can also be used to shake off dust and debris adhering to the surface of garments.

[0034] The garment care device of the present invention includes a wardrobe body 1, which contains a shaking module, a spraying module, and a drying module. The shaking module drives the garments to shake within the wardrobe body and can change the amplitude and / or frequency of the shaking. The spraying module includes a water tank, a water pump, and spray heads, wherein the spray heads are positioned above the garments and can spray mist-like water vapor. In some embodiments, an atomizer may be installed within the spraying module to atomize the water before spraying it from the spray heads. The drying module includes a heater and a fan; when the drying module is operating, the fan blows hot air from near the heater into the interior of the garment care device to dry the garments.

[0035] Regarding the spray module and the drying module, it is worth noting that, without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adopt any structure in other embodiments, as long as it is ensured that the spray module can spray mist-like water vapor and the drying module can heat and dry the clothes.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shaking module is installed inside the wardrobe body 1, including a shaking device 2. The shaking device 2 is connected to the clothes rod 7, and the clothes are suspended on the clothes rod 7 by hangers 71. The shaking device 2 can adjust the shaking amplitude of the clothes suspended on the clothes rod 7. For clothes of different weights, the shaking device 2 is matched with different shaking amplitudes to improve the care effect for all types of clothes.

[0037] A partition 11 is provided inside the wardrobe body 1, dividing the internal space of the wardrobe body 1 into a transmission layer and a care layer. The transmission layer is located above the partition 11, and the shaking device 2 is disposed within the transmission layer. The care layer is located below the partition 11, and the clothes rod 7 is located within the care layer. The portion of the clothes rod 7 connected to the shaking device 2 passes through the partition 11 to ensure that the shaking device 2 can drive the clothes rod 7 to reciprocate, thereby causing the clothes hanging on the clothes rod 7 to shake repeatedly. Shaking the clothes during the care process helps to remove dust adhering to the clothes and smooth out wrinkles. In this embodiment, the clothes are shaken repeatedly in the horizontal direction, but this is not a limitation of the invention. With proper configuration of the shaking device 2, the shaking device 2 can also drive the clothes to shake in the vertical direction.

[0038] The shaking device 2 includes a bracket 3, a first slider 4, a swing mechanism 5, and an adjustment mechanism 6. The first slider 4 is slidably connected to the bracket 3, and the swing mechanism 5 is mounted on the bracket 3. The adjustment mechanism 6 and the swing mechanism 5 have a connection point. The swing mechanism 5 swings around the connection point to drive the first slider 4 to reciprocate linearly relative to the bracket 3. The adjustment mechanism 6 can adjust the position of the connection point to change the amplitude of the linear reciprocating movement of the first slider 4 driven by the swing mechanism 5. A connecting part 72 is connected below the first slider 4. The connecting part 72 passes through the bracket 3 and the partition 11 and is fixedly connected to the clothes rod 7, so that the connecting part 72 and the clothes rod 7 reciprocate linearly with the first slider 4. The bracket 3 and the partition 11 have clearance grooves for the reciprocating movement of the connecting part 72 to prevent interference between the connecting part 72 and the bracket 3 or the partition 11.

[0039] The support 3 includes a horizontal support 31 and a vertical support 32, which are arranged perpendicularly. The first slider 4 is slidably connected to the horizontal support 31, and the swing mechanism 5 is connected to the vertical support 32. In this configuration, the angle between the swing mechanism 5 and the first slider 4 is more suitable, allowing the swing mechanism 5 to drive the first slider 4 to perform a greater maximum linear reciprocating movement. Of course, the support 3 only serves a supporting function; in other embodiments, the shape of the support 3 can be arbitrarily set according to design requirements.

[0040] A guide mechanism is provided between the first slider 4 and the horizontal support 31 to ensure the stability of the first slider 4's reciprocating movement along a straight line. Specifically, the horizontal support 31 has a dovetail groove 311, and the first slider 4 is provided with a guide rail 41 that slides in conjunction with the dovetail groove 311. Of course, in other embodiments, other guide mechanisms, such as guide rods, can also be used between the first slider 4 and the horizontal support 31.

[0041] The swing mechanism 5 includes a first drive mechanism 51, an adjusting rod 52, and a transmission assembly. The connection point is located between the first end and the second end of the adjusting rod 52. The first drive mechanism 51 is connected to the vertical support 32 and can drive the second end of the adjusting rod 52 to swing back and forth, thereby causing the first end of the adjusting rod 52 to swing back and forth. The transmission assembly connects the first end of the adjusting rod 52 and the first slider 4, and can convert the reciprocating swing of the first end of the adjusting rod 52 into the reciprocating movement of the first slider 4 relative to the horizontal support 31.

[0042] The first drive mechanism 51 is equipped with a speed regulating unit, which is used to adjust the swing frequency of the first end of the adjusting rod 52, thereby adjusting the frequency of clothing shaking. Specifically, the speed regulating unit adjusts the swing frequency of the first end of the adjusting rod 52 by adjusting the output speed of the first drive unit.

[0043] Specifically, the first drive mechanism 51 includes a first drive motor 511 and a driving member 512. The driving member 512 is disc-shaped and is generally mounted on the output shaft of the first drive motor 511 via a key connection. The first end of the adjusting rod 52 is hinged to the driving member 512, and the hinged part is different from the rotation axis of the driving member 512, so as to ensure that the first drive motor 511 can drive the first end of the adjusting rod 52 to reciprocate through the driving member 512. In other embodiments, the driving member 512 can also be wheel-shaped (such as a cam) or rod-shaped (such as a connecting rod), and the first drive motor 511 can also drive the first end of the adjusting rod 52 to reciprocate through the driving member 512 of this shape.

[0044] The first drive motor 511 is a speed-regulating motor, specifically a variable frequency motor, with the speed regulation unit integrated on it. By changing the voltage frequency of the first drive motor 511, the output speed of the first drive motor 511 can be changed, thereby changing the oscillation frequency of the first end of the adjusting rod 52, and thus adjusting the frequency of the linear reciprocating movement of the first slider 4, ultimately achieving the purpose of adjusting the shaking frequency of the clothing. Of course, it is foreseeable that in other embodiments, the speed regulation unit can adopt other types of structures or components for speed regulation, such as a gearbox, etc., all of which should be included within the protection scope of this invention.

[0045] In addition, regarding the first drive mechanism 51, it is worth noting that although in this embodiment the first drive mechanism 51 is a structure of a first drive motor 511 and an active member 512, this is not a specific limitation on the first drive mechanism 51. In other embodiments, those skilled in the art can use any structure that can drive the first end of the adjusting rod 52 to reciprocate as the first drive mechanism 51, and all of them should be included within the protection scope of this invention.

[0046] Specifically, the transmission assembly includes a connecting rod 53, the two ends of which are hinged to the first end of the adjusting rod 52 and the first slider 4, respectively, thereby converting the reciprocating swing of the first end of the adjusting rod 52 into the linear reciprocating movement of the second slider 61 relative to the horizontal support 31.

[0047] Regarding the transmission component, it is worth noting that although the transmission component is the connecting rod 53 in this embodiment, this is not a specific limitation on the transmission component. In other embodiments, those skilled in the art can use any structure that can convert reciprocating oscillation into linear reciprocating movement as the transmission component, and all of them should be included within the protection scope of this invention.

[0048] The adjusting mechanism 6 includes a second slider 61 and a second driving mechanism. The second driving mechanism is mounted on the vertical support 32 and can drive the second slider 61 to move along the vertical support 32. The second slider 61 is connected to the adjusting rod 52, serving as the connection point between the adjusting rod 52 and the adjusting mechanism 6. After the second driving mechanism drives the second slider 61 to move, it can change the position of the connection point on the adjusting rod 52. Since the swing amplitude of the second end of the adjusting rod 52 remains constant, according to the basic principle of levers, the closer the second slider 61 is to the first end of the adjusting rod 52, the smaller the swing amplitude of the first end of the adjusting rod 52, and the smaller the amplitude of the linear reciprocating movement of the first slider 4. At this time, the shaking amplitude of the clothing is smaller, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the shaking amplitude of the clothing.

[0049] For example, in this embodiment, the range of movement of the first slider 4 is from 17mm to 70mm. Specifically, when the first slider 4 is located at the position closest to the second end of the adjusting rod 52, the movement of the first slider 4 is the smallest, which is 17mm; when the first slider 4 is located at the position farthest from the second end of the adjusting rod 52, the movement of the first slider 4 is the largest, which is 70mm.

[0050] It should be noted that the second slider 61 can rotate and slide relative to the adjusting rod 52. Rotation of the second slider 61 relative to the adjusting rod 52 converts the reciprocating oscillation of the first end of the adjusting rod 52 into the reciprocating oscillation of the second end of the adjusting rod 52. Sliding of the second slider 61 relative to the adjusting rod 52 allows the second slider 61 to change the position of the connection point on the adjusting rod 52. Specifically, a sliding hole 521 is formed along the length of the middle portion of the adjusting rod 52. The second slider 61 is connected to the adjusting rod 52 via a pin, and the pin passes through the sliding hole 521, allowing the adjusting rod 52 to both slide and rotate relative to the second slider 61. The connection point is specifically the axis of the pin.

[0051] Regarding the connection structure between the second slider 61 and the adjusting rod 52, it should be noted that the structure of this embodiment is not a specific limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the invention, those skilled in the art can use other connection structures in other embodiments to enable the second slider 61 to rotate and slide relative to the adjusting rod 52. For example, a mating block is hinged to the second slider 61, and the mating block is slidably connected to the adjusting rod 52.

[0052] A guide mechanism is also provided between the second slider 61 and the vertical support 32 to ensure the stability of the sliding of the second slider 61. Specifically, the vertical support 32 has a guide groove 321 along its length, and the second slider 61 slides in cooperation with the guide groove 321. Of course, in other embodiments, the second slider 61 and the guide groove 321 can also adopt other guide mechanisms, such as a guide rod.

[0053] The second driving mechanism includes a lead screw 62 and a second drive motor 63. The lead screw 62 is rotatably connected to the vertical support 32 and threadedly connected to the second slider 61. The second drive motor 63 is mounted on the vertical support 32 and can drive the lead screw 62 to rotate. The second drive motor 63 drives the lead screw 62 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the lead screw 62 and the second slider 61, and guided by the vertical support 32, the lead screw 62 can drive the second slider 61 to slide along its length, thereby changing the position of the second slider 61 and thus changing the position of the fulcrum of the adjusting rod 52.

[0054] Regarding the second driving mechanism, it is worth noting that although in this embodiment the second driving mechanism uses a lead screw 62 slider structure to drive the second slider 61 to move, this is not a specific limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the invention, those skilled in the art can use a cylinder, crank connecting rod mechanism, or other mechanism that can drive the second slider 61 to make linear displacement as the second driving mechanism, and all of them should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0055] In summary, the working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0056] The first drive motor 511 drives the second end of the adjusting rod 52 to reciprocate via the active component 512. The first end of the adjusting rod 52 reciprocates along with the second end. Then, the connecting rod 53 converts the oscillation of the first end of the adjusting rod 52 into the reciprocating linear movement of the first slider 4, thereby causing the clothes hanging on the clothes rod 7 to shake horizontally. When it is necessary to adjust the shaking amplitude of the clothes in the garment care device, the second drive motor 63 is activated, driving the lead screw 62 to rotate, thereby driving the second slider 61 to move relative to the vertical support 32, changing the vertical position of the second slider 61, and thus changing the position of the connection point between the second slider 61 and the adjusting rod 52. The closer the second slider 61 is to the first end of the adjusting rod 52, the smaller the amplitude of the reciprocating oscillation of the first end of the adjusting rod 52, and the smaller the amplitude of the horizontal shaking of the clothes.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the main steps of the control method for the garment care device provided by the present invention are as follows:

[0059] S1. Obtain the weight of the clothing. Clothing is typically hung on a clothes rod using hangers, and a shaking module drives the clothes rod to shake. A weighing unit is installed on the clothes rod, and the hangers are suspended above the weighing unit to obtain the weight of the clothing.

[0060] S2. Determine the shaking frequency and amplitude of the clothing based on its weight.

[0061] Through repeated experiments, the optimal shaking frequency and amplitude for a certain weight of clothing were determined. The parameters of the shaking frequency and amplitude corresponding to multiple garments of different weights were then fitted using a computer to obtain a functional relationship between clothing weight and the optimal shaking frequency and amplitude, which was then integrated into the clothing care device system. Based on the weight of the clothing obtained in step S1, the corresponding optimal shaking frequency and amplitude can be determined according to the built-in function, thereby improving the care effect on clothing of various weights. The output speed of the first drive motor 511 is determined based on the optimal shaking frequency to ensure that the shaking frequency of the clothing is at the optimal shaking frequency. The position of the connection point between the second slider 61 and the adjusting rod 52 is determined based on the optimal shaking amplitude to ensure that the shaking amplitude of the clothing is at the optimal shaking amplitude.

[0062] Specifically, prepare several garments of varying weights, with the first garment weighing 100g and the remaining garments increasing in weight increments of 100g, for a total of 40 garments. The amplitude of the garment shaking should range from 17mm to 70mm. Hang each garment individually on a clothesline, gradually adjusting the shaking amplitude and frequency, observing the shaking pattern until the most suitable shaking frequency and amplitude for the corresponding weight of garment are found, and record the results.

[0063] Of course, in other embodiments, the shaking frequency or shaking amplitude of the clothing can be determined according to the weight of the clothing. That is, only one of the shaking frequency and shaking amplitude is changed according to the weight of the clothing. Compared with the prior art, this can also improve the care effect on clothing of various weights.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, the control method for the garment care device provided by the present invention further includes:

[0065] S3. Determine the spray volume and spray speed of the clothing based on its weight. Step S3 is performed before or simultaneously with step S2. Spraying clothing softens it. The spray volume needs to be moderate; too little water will not achieve optimal softening, while too much water will result in excessive moisture, making the clothing unsuitable for care. The spray speed affects water absorption; a slower spray speed results in better absorption but longer care time. Determining an appropriate spray time saves time while achieving good water absorption. The care equipment system has a pre-set functional relationship between spray volume, spray speed, and clothing weight, allowing the calculation of spray volume and speed based on clothing weight. For example, 30ml of water is sprayed onto 1kg of clothing at a spray speed of 10ml / min.

[0066] After the clothes are sprayed, their weight increases. In step S2, the weighing unit can obtain the weight of the clothes in real time and determine the corresponding shaking frequency and amplitude based on the real-time weight. Alternatively, in other embodiments, step S2 can obtain the weight of the clothes before spraying to determine the corresponding shaking frequency and amplitude. Since the increase in weight after spraying is limited and negligible, its impact on the final garment care result is limited, thus saving computational load on the garment care equipment.

[0067] S4. Obtain the air humidity and clothing vibration status of the garment care device. An air humidity sensor is installed inside the garment care device to obtain the internal air humidity. The clothing vibration status can be determined based on the on / off state of the vibration module. When the vibration module is on, the clothing is vibrating; when the vibration module is off, the clothing is stationary.

[0068] S5. Determine whether to dry the clothes based on air humidity and the shaking state of the clothes. Specifically: if the clothes are shaking and the air humidity is not lower than the preset humidity, it means the clothes are in the stage of smoothing out wrinkles and need to be dried; if the air humidity is lower than the preset humidity, it means the clothes are already dry and do not need to be dried. Specifically, the preset humidity is 3%.

[0069] S6. Obtain wrinkle information on the surface of the garment. This is generally achieved by taking a picture with a camera installed in the care device, and then calculating the wrinkle information using an image algorithm. It is worth noting that the image algorithm used to obtain wrinkle information on the garment surface is a commonly used algorithm by those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated upon in this invention; it is sufficient to simply calculate the relevant wrinkle information. Wrinkle information is divided into two types: those with wrinkles and those without.

[0070] S7. Determine whether to end the care process based on the wrinkle information. Specifically: if the wrinkle information indicates no wrinkles, end the care process; if wrinkles exist, the garment care is incomplete, and steps S1 to S7 are repeated to continue the care process. Simultaneously, record the number of times step S7 is executed. If the number of executions exceeds a preset value (generally two), end the care process and issue an alarm. If the number of executions of step S7 exceeds the preset value, and the wrinkles cannot be smoothed out after multiple care attempts, it indicates that the care equipment is unable to eliminate the wrinkles, and the garment needs to be washed again.

[0071] In addition, a camera installed within the garment care device takes photos, and image algorithms are used to analyze the images to determine the type and material of the clothing. The device also includes a temperature sensor to determine the drying temperature. Different materials and types of clothing have different maximum drying temperatures. When the drying temperature exceeds the maximum care temperature, the drying module stops operating to reduce the drying temperature and prevent damage to the clothing. For example, the maximum drying temperature for fur and silk is 40℃, for underwear it is 80℃, for summer clothing it is 50℃, for synthetic fiber clothing it is 70℃, and for cotton and linen clothing it is 50℃.

[0072] S8. After the garment care process is completed, a care result is generated and transmitted to the terminal device via the network. The network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: wired network, wireless network. The wired network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: wide area network, metropolitan area network, local area network. The wireless network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth. The terminal device may not be limited to PCs, mobile phones, tablets, smart air conditioners, smart range hoods, smart refrigerators, smart ovens, smart stoves, smart washing machines, smart water heaters, smart washing equipment, smart dishwashers, smart projectors, smart TVs, smart clothes racks, smart curtains, smart audio-visual systems, smart sockets, smart speakers, smart speakers, smart fresh air systems, smart kitchen and bathroom equipment, smart bathroom equipment, smart robot vacuum cleaners, smart window cleaning robots, smart mopping robots, smart air purifiers, smart steam ovens, smart microwave ovens, smart water heaters, smart air purifiers, smart water dispensers, smart door locks, etc.

[0073] In summary, such as Figure 5 As shown, the detailed steps of the control method for the garment care device provided by the present invention are as follows:

[0074] S1. Obtain the weight of the clothing.

[0075] S2. Calculate and obtain the spray volume and spray speed for spraying the clothing, and then spray. The nursing equipment system has a preset functional relationship between the spray volume and spray speed and the weight of the clothing. Based on the weight of the clothing obtained in step S1, the spray volume and spray speed can be calculated.

[0076] S3. Calculate and obtain the shaking frequency and amplitude of the clothing, and shake the clothing. The system of the care equipment has a preset functional relationship between the shaking frequency and amplitude and the weight of the clothing. Based on the weight of the clothing obtained in step S1, the optimal shaking frequency and amplitude of the clothing can be calculated. The output speed of the first drive motor 511 is determined according to the optimal shaking frequency so that the shaking frequency of the clothing is the optimal shaking frequency. The position of the connection point between the second slider 61 and the adjusting rod 52 is determined according to the optimal shaking amplitude so that the shaking amplitude of the clothing is the optimal shaking amplitude.

[0077] S4. Obtain the air humidity inside the garment care equipment.

[0078] S5. Determine if the air humidity is lower than the preset humidity. If the air humidity is not lower than the preset humidity, proceed to step S51; if the air humidity is lower than the preset humidity, proceed to step S52.

[0079] S51. Start the drying module, and after a period of time, execute steps S4 and S5 again.

[0080] S52. Turn off the drying module and proceed to step S6.

[0081] S6. Obtain wrinkle information from the surface of the clothing. Wrinkle information is divided into two types: those with wrinkles and those without wrinkles.

[0082] S7. Determine if there are wrinkles on the surface of the clothing. If there are wrinkles on the surface of the clothing, proceed to step S71; if there are no wrinkles on the surface of the clothing, proceed to step S72.
