Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of smart home technology, and more specifically, to a control method for a clothes drying component, a control method for a clothes drying machine, and related products. Background Technology

[0002] In existing clothes drying racks, to expand the drying space, a telescopic structure is generally used. For example, the telescopic structure can be configured in the basic drying rod, the quilt drying rod, or the expandable accessories, so that the volume of the drying rod can be hidden and compressed as much as possible when not in use, and more drying space can be obtained by fully extending it when in use.

[0003] However, existing telescopic structures rely on manual operation by the user to retract or extend, which is complex and inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This disclosure provides a control method for a clothes drying assembly, a control method for a clothes drying machine, and related products to address at least one of the aforementioned technical problems. The technical solution is as follows: In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a control method for a clothes drying assembly, characterized in that the clothes drying assembly is applied to a clothes drying machine, the clothes drying assembly includes a main drying rack and a telescopic frame arranged at at least one end of the main drying rack; the telescopic frame includes a drying net frame and a soft drying component laid based on the drying net frame; the drying net frame includes at least two telescopic rods arranged in parallel and a first end cap connecting the telescopic rods; the first end cap is provided with a roller for winding the soft drying component within the first end cap; the roller or the telescopic rod is equipped with an electronic control assembly including a first control module and a first motor; The control method for the drying assembly is executed by the first control module, including: The system receives a first control command from the clothes drying rack host; the first control command is issued when a preset behavioral event is detected. Based on the first control command, the operating state of the first motor is adjusted to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame.

[0005] In one feasible embodiment, the preset behavioral event includes one of the following: The operating object initiates an operation to control the telescopic frame to extend or retract; When responding to an operation that initiates a lifting action on the drying assembly, the weight of the clothes carried by the telescopic frame in its extended state is less than a preset first weight threshold.

[0006] In one feasible embodiment, the main drying rack includes parallel main drying rods and a bracket connecting the main drying rods; the rolled-up edge of the soft drying item is rolled up by the roller, and the spread-out edge is fixed on the bracket; When the first motor drives the reel to wind up the soft drying rack, the telescopic rod retracts towards the main drying rack under force; when not under force, the telescopic rod extends away from the main drying rack; adjusting the operating state of the first motor based on the first control command to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic rack includes at least one of the following: If the first control command instructs the retraction frame to be retracted, then the first motor is controlled to rotate forward to drive the roller to rotate in the forward direction, so that the soft drying item is rolled up and the telescopic rod is forcefully retracted toward the main drying frame; If the first control command instructs to extend at least part of the telescopic frame, then the first motor is controlled to reverse to drive the roller to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the soft drying rack unfolds at least part and the telescopic rod extends at least part away from the main drying rack due to its own elastic force; If the first control command instructs the telescopic frame to extend fully, the first motor is controlled to disengage from the roller, so that the telescopic rod extends away from the main drying rack due to its own elastic force, and the soft drying rack unfolds as the telescopic rod extends. Alternatively, when the telescopic rod extends under the drive of the first motor, the soft drying rack unfolds along with the extension of the telescopic rod; when the telescopic rod retracts under the drive of the first motor, the soft drying rack is rolled up by the force exerted by the coil springs arranged in the roller; adjusting the operating state of the first motor based on the first control command to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame includes at least one of the following: If the first control command instructs at least a portion of the telescopic frame to be retracted, then the first motor is controlled to rotate forward to drive the telescopic rod to retract at least a portion, and the soft drying rack is retracted by the winding force of the coil spring and / or the force of the first end cap moving toward the main drying rack; If the first control command instructs to retract all of the telescopic racks, then the first motor is controlled to disengage from the telescopic rod, so that the soft drying rack is retracted by the winding force of the coil spring, and the telescopic rod is retracted by the force of the first end cap moving toward the main drying rack. If the first control command instructs the extension of the telescopic frame, the first motor is controlled to reverse to drive the telescopic rod to extend, and the soft drying rack is unfolded by the force of the first end cap moving away from the main drying rack. In one feasible embodiment, the drying net frame is provided with an obstruction detection module, which is connected to the first control module; The control method further includes at least one of the following: If a first obstruction signal is received in the horizontal direction of the telescopic frame during the extension process, the first motor is used to control the telescopic rod to stop extending, the reel to stop rotating, or the first motor and the reel are connected and reversed a preset number of times. Upon receiving a second obstruction signal in the vertical direction from the telescopic frame in its extended state, the system reports the second obstruction signal to the host and receives a second control command from the host. If the second control command instructs the drying assembly to continue lifting operations, the system controls the first motor to rotate forward to at least partially retract the telescopic frame. If the second control command instructs the drying assembly to stop lifting operations, the system controls the first motor to rotate forward to retract the telescopic frame when it is determined that the weight of the clothes carried by the telescopic frame is less than a preset second weight threshold.

[0007] In one feasible embodiment, the first end cap is further provided with a power supply module, which is connected to the first control module and the first motor respectively; the drying assembly also includes a first charging interface, which is connected to the power supply module; The control method further includes: If it is determined that the remaining power of the power supply module is less than the preset power threshold, the power information is reported to the host so that when the drying component is at the upper limit of its travel, the first charging interface is connected to the second charging interface on the host and the power supply module is charged by mains power.

[0008] In one feasible embodiment, a limit switch is provided on the side of the first end cap facing the main drying rack, and the limit switch is connected to the first control module; The step of adjusting the operating state of the first motor based on the first control command to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame includes: When the telescopic frame is retracted based on the first control command, if a signal is received from the limit switch touching the main drying rack, the first motor is controlled to stop rotating so that the telescopic frame remains in its current state.

[0009] In one feasible embodiment, the drying assembly further includes a telescopic drying rod, which is arranged above the telescopic frame; the telescopic drying rod includes an extension rod that extends and retracts in the same direction as the telescopic rod, and the end of the extension rod is connected through a second end cap; the first end cap is provided with an electronically controlled connector for movably connecting with the second end cap; the electronically controlled connector is connected to the first control module; The step of adjusting the operating state of the first motor based on the first control command to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame includes at least one of the following: If the first control command instructs the telescopic quilt drying rod to extend and retract synchronously with the telescopic frame, then the electronic control connector is controlled to connect to the second end cover so that the telescopic quilt drying rod extends and retracts synchronously with the telescopic frame; If the first control command instructs the telescopic frame to extend or retract independently of the telescopic quilt drying rod, then the electrical control connector is disengaged from the second end cover so that the extension or retraction of the telescopic frame can be controlled independently.

[0010] Secondly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a control method for a clothes drying rack, applied to a clothes drying rack, the clothes drying rack including a main unit and a drying component as described in the first aspect and any one of the claims; the main unit includes a built-in second control module, which wirelessly communicates with the first control module; The control method for the clothes drying rack is executed by the second control module, including: Upon detecting a preset behavioral event, a first control command is issued to the first control module. The system receives feedback from the second control module, including information on how the second control module adjusts the operating state of the first motor based on the first control command to control the telescopic frame to perform telescopic operations.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The following description of several exemplary embodiments illustrates the technical solutions of this disclosure and the technical effects produced by these solutions. It should be noted that the following embodiments can be referenced, learned from, or combined with each other. Identical terms, similar features, and similar implementation steps in different embodiments will not be repeated.

[0022] To better illustrate the methods provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the drying components and clothes drying machines provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] refer to Figures 1-2 The electric clothes drying rack applicable to the embodiments of this application includes a main unit 1 and a drying assembly. The main unit 1 can be used to control the extension, retraction, lifting and lowering of the drying assembly. The drying assembly can be functionally differentiated according to the items to be dried. For example, the drying assembly includes a main drying rack 4, a telescopic quilt drying rod 3, and an electric telescopic frame (also known as a telescopic frame) 2, etc.

[0024] The electric telescopic rack 2 of this embodiment includes a drying net frame 21 and a soft drying element 22 laid within the drying net frame 21. The electric telescopic rack 2 of this embodiment is an extension of the main drying rack 4. When the electric telescopic rack 2 is extended, the soft drying element 22 extends unidirectionally along with the drying net frame 21. The direction of extension of the drying net frame 21 is defined as the front end; conversely, the direction of retraction of the drying net frame 21 when the soft drying element 22 is rolled up is defined as the rear end. One possible implementation is that the drying net is positioned along the longitudinal axis of the main unit 1, at both ends of the longitudinal length of the main drying rack 4. Therefore, some components of the electric telescopic rack 2 are subordinate to or shared with the main drying rack 4, as will be further explained below.

[0025] refer to Figures 2-6 The drying net frame 21 of this application may include at least two parallel telescopic rods 211, a first end cap 212 connecting the front end of the telescopic rods 211, and a positioning rod 213 connecting the middle of the telescopic rods 211 (exemplarily, the positioning rod 213 can be a bracket of a scissor rack in the drying assembly; optionally, the positioning rod 213 can also be connected to the end of the main drying rack 4). The telescopic rods 211 always press against the first end cap 212 forward, and in conjunction with the pulling action of the soft drying component 22, achieve horizontal support for the drying net frame 21.

[0026] The telescopic rod 211 of this embodiment includes a plug 2111, a base 2112, and a spring 2113 connected at both ends to the plug 2111 and the base 2112, respectively. The spring 2113 achieves telescopic movement under the constraint of the skeleton rod. Specifically, the skeleton rod includes an inner sleeve 2114 sleeved inside the cavity of the spring 2113 and an outer sleeve 2115 sleeved on the outer surface of the spring 2113. It is obvious that the outer diameter of the inner sleeve 2114 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer sleeve 2115. By adjusting the lengths of the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115, the inner sleeve 2114 can be partially or completely sleeved inside the outer sleeve 2115. In the embodiments of this application, the lengths of the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115 are respectively greater than half the length of the spring 2113 but less than the total length of the spring 2113. This ensures that the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115 always have an overlapping section, guaranteeing the continuity of the longitudinal structure of the telescopic rod 211 and preventing loosening under normal use. Optionally, the minimum length of the overlapping section can be limited to ensure the structural strength of the telescopic rod 211 and prevent breakage at the overlapping section. In one possible embodiment, the minimum length of the overlapping section is set to be within the range of 1 / 10 to 1 / 8 of the total length of the spring 2113.

[0027] In this embodiment, the ends of the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115 that are far apart from each other are synchronously translated relative to the two ends of the spring 2113. This allows the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115 to achieve active nesting as the spring 2113 is compressed or released. The process of active nesting causes the length of the overlapping section of the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115 to change, thereby changing the straight-line distance between the two ends of the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115, and thus changing the total length of the telescopic rod 211. When the spring 2113 is compressed by an external force, the inner sleeve 2114 can be nested inside the outer sleeve 2115, thereby shortening the straight-line distance between the two ends of the outer sleeve 2115 and the inner sleeve 2114, and shortening the telescopic rod 211. When the external force is removed or reduced, the elastic potential energy stored in the spring 2113 is released, which increases the straight-line distance between the two ends of the outer sleeve 2115 and the inner sleeve 2114, and lengthens the telescopic rod 211.

[0028] In this embodiment, the rear end of the inner sleeve 2114 is fixedly connected to the base 2112, and the front end of the outer sleeve 2115 is fixedly connected to the plug 2111. Therefore, the distance between the plug 2111 and the base 2112 is the telescopic length of the telescopic rod 211 in this embodiment. The maximum extendable length of the telescopic rod 211 is determined by the minimum length of the overlapping section of the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115, and the minimum compressible length of the telescopic rod 211 is determined by the longer of the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115. To achieve better horizontal load-bearing capacity for the netting frame 21, this application configures the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115 to have the same length. Therefore, the minimum compressible length of the telescopic rod 211 is the length of either the inner sleeve 2114 or the outer sleeve 2115.

[0029] Optionally, to improve the smoothness of the nesting between the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115, it is preferable to set the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115 as tubes with circular cross-sections. This adapts to the cross-sectional profile of the spring 2113 and reduces the possibility of hard collisions between the outer wall of the inner sleeve 2114 and the inner wall of the outer sleeve 2115. Furthermore, while the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115 are separated by the spring 2113, a certain distance should be maintained between the inner sleeve 2114 and the spring 2113, and between the outer sleeve 2115 and the spring 2113, to achieve a clearance fit, reduce friction between the inner sleeve 2114, the spring 2113, and the outer sleeve 2115, and reduce the extension and retraction resistance of the telescopic rod 211. In other implementations, the cross-sectional shape of the outer sleeve 2115 can be different, but it should still meet the principle of clearance fit with the spring 2113.

[0030] Another possible implementation is that the skeleton rod includes a shell 2116 sleeved on the outer surface of the spring 2113 and a fixing rod 231. The shell 2116 can be nested inside the fixing rod 231, allowing the shell 2116 and the fixing rod 231 to slide relative to each other, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 211. The cross-sectional shapes of the shell 2116 and the fixing rod 231 can be the same or different. However, those skilled in the art will understand that when the cross-sectional shapes of the shell 2116 and the fixing rod 231 are the same, the tightness of their fit can be higher. When the cross-sectional shapes of the shell 2116 and the fixing rod 231 are different, different functional structures can be configured on the shell 2116 and the fixing rod 231 to improve the multifunctionality of the telescopic rod 211 of this application.

[0031] The lengths of the outer casing 2116 and the fixing rod 231 are similar to those of the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115. The lengths of the outer casing 2116 and the fixing rod 231 are each greater than half the length of the spring 2113 but less than the total length of the spring 2113. This allows for an overlapping section between the outer casing 2116 and the fixing rod 231, ensuring a continuous connection between them within the normal extension and contraction stroke of the spring 2113. The longer of the outer casing 2116 and the fixing rod 231 determines the shortest length of the telescopic rod 211 after compression. The ends of the outer casing 2116 and the fixing rod 231 that are far apart from each other can also be fixed and assembled using the plug 2111 and the base 2112.

[0032] Alternatively, the telescopic rod 211 in this embodiment can be configured with an inner sleeve 2114 and an outer sleeve 2115, and may be provided with an outer shell 2116 and / or a fixing rod 231, which is fitted onto the outer surface of the outer sleeve 2115. The outer shell 2116 and the fixing rod 231 serve two purposes: firstly, as a protective shell for the telescopic rod 211, and secondly, as a basis for extending and installing other accessories, so that the telescopic rod 211 can cooperate with other mechanical devices.

[0033] Optionally, the telescopic rod 211 in this embodiment further includes a housing 2116, which is fitted onto the outer surface of the outer sleeve 2115. The housing 2116 serves two purposes: firstly, as a protective shell for the telescopic rod 211; and secondly, it allows for the installation of other accessories, enabling the telescopic rod 211 to cooperate with other mechanical devices, such as the main drying rack 4 of an electric clothes dryer. In this embodiment, the housing 2116 is a rectangular cross-section tube, with one end fixedly connected to the plug 2111. Simultaneously, the outer sleeve 2115 is fixedly connected to the plug 2111, and the inner wall of the housing 2116 maintains a gap from the outer wall of the outer sleeve 2115, thus preventing contact. Consequently, the plug 2111 simultaneously secures the spring 2113, the outer sleeve 2115, and the housing 2116. Correspondingly, the base 2112 simultaneously secures the spring 2113 and the inner sleeve 2114.

[0034] Optionally, to ensure the stability of the housing 2116 structure, a gasket 2117 is provided at the other end of the housing 2116, as shown in the reference. Figure 7 In this embodiment, the gasket 2117 includes two through structures connected by a connecting strip to form a whole, so that the gasket 2117 covers the surface of the outer shell 2116. Specifically, the gasket 2117 includes a through hole 21171 through which the spring 2113 (including the inner sleeve 2114) passes, serving as a free end, and a first structural hole 21172 through which the outer shell 2116 passes, serving as a connecting end. Optionally, a positioning ring is also provided on the inner side of the free end of the gasket 2117 for the end of the outer sleeve 2115 to abut against, thereby the length of the outer shell 2116 is equal to the length of the outer sleeve 2115, and the outer shell 2116 moves with the movement of the outer sleeve 2115.

[0035] Optionally, the through structure of the gasket 2117 is defined by a structural wall. Alternatively, the connecting end of the gasket 2117 forms a first structural hole 21172 that conforms to the contour of the outer shell 2116 through the structural wall. The free end of the gasket 2117 is further reinforced with a structural wall having a circular hole at its far end based on the first structural hole 21172. The diameter of the circular hole is adapted to the spring 2113 for the spring 2113 to pass through, or the diameter of the circular hole is adapted to the outer sleeve 2115 for forming a positioning ring abutting against the end of the outer sleeve 2115.

[0036] refer to Figure 7Optionally, a sleeve 2118 is also provided adjacent to the front end of the connecting end of the pad 2117 for positioning and protection. One possible implementation is that the sleeve 2118 includes a second structural hole 21181 that adapts to the outer shell 2116. The second structural hole 21181 is formed by a structural wall that is consistent with the contour of the outer shell 2116. That is, the shape of the second structural hole 21181 is the same as or similar to the shape of the first structural hole 21172. Optionally, a fixing plate 21182 extends from the edge of the second structural hole 21181 for limiting or as a connecting structure. The extension direction and specific structure of the fixing plate 21182 can be set according to actual needs. Assuming the plug 2111 is defined as the front end and the base 2112 as the rear end, the sleeve 2118 is positioned at the front end of the gasket 2117. It can resist external forces from the front end or compressive displacement from the plug 2111 towards the base 2112, preventing direct damage to the gasket. The sleeve 2118 can also be used as a limiting element to restrict the lower limit of compression. The cooperation between the sleeve 2118 and the gasket 2117 protects the overlapping section of the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115. In one embodiment, the length of the gasket 2117 matches the shortest possible overlap.

[0037] refer to Figures 8-9 In one possible implementation, the plug 2111 and the base 2112 are each provided with a fixing post for fixing the end of the spring 2113. This fixing post is used to insert into the inner cavity of the spring 2113 for fixation, or to wrap around the body of the spring 2113 for fixation. Optionally, such a fixing post can be made of a screw, the threads on the screw surface increasing the friction surface for fixing the spring 2113; or the fixing post can be made of a pin, which is easy to integrally form with other components, or an axial blind hole or through hole can be opened inside the pin for fixing the end of the spring 2113. In this embodiment, a screw is provided at the plug 2111 as a fixing post, and a pin is provided at the base 2112 as a fixing post.

[0038] In this embodiment, the front end of the plug 2111 is used to press against the first end cap 212. Correspondingly, the first end cap 212 is provided with an abutment area 21232a that is adapted to the outer contour of the plug 2111 to prevent the plug 2111 from coming out during the extension or compression of the telescopic rod 211. Optionally, the plug 2111 and the abutment area 21232a can be detachably fixed to enhance the stability of the pressing.

[0039] In this embodiment, the electric telescopic frame 2 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the longitudinal length of the main drying rack 4. Thus, the drying net frames 21 on both sides can share a set of bases 2112. Specifically, the bases 2112 of a pair of parallel telescopic rods 211 are arranged on the axis of symmetry. Pins 21121 for fixing springs 2113 and inner sleeves 2114 are provided on both sides of the bases 2112. The two inner sleeves 2114 extending in opposite directions are connected to form a whole through the bases 2112. The two inner sleeves 2114 are respectively provided with movable nested outer sleeves 2115, thereby forming two pairs of parallel telescopic rods 211 with opposite telescopic directions, which are used to form two independent drying net frames 21.

[0040] refer to Figures 8-9The first end cap 212 is disposed at the front end of a pair of telescopic rods 211, serving as one of the lateral connecting structures of the pair of telescopic rods 211. The end cap of this application is not only functional but also decorative. Therefore, inside the decorative outer shell 2116, the first end cap 212 of this application has a first inner cavity 2121 and a second inner cavity 2122. The first inner cavity 2121 is used to accommodate the soft drying component 22 and its roller 223. The second inner cavity 2122 is used to accommodate the power supply module (such as a power supply module, used to supply power to the appliance and store electrical energy) for driving the roller 223. In other embodiments, any electrically controlled modules required on the periphery of the electric clothes drying rack main unit 1 can be connected... The power supply module may include several batteries 21221 and corresponding control circuit boards 21222 (the first control module included in the drying assembly includes the control circuit board 21222). Optionally, a wireless charging module 21223 may also be provided between the power supply module and the host 1. When the electric clothes dryer is in the storage state and the first end cover 212 is close to the host 1, the batteries 21221 can be charged through the wireless charging module 21223 (which may include a first charging interface). (A second charging interface that cooperates with the first charging interface may be provided on one side of the host 1), thereby simplifying the wiring design between the power supply module and the host 1. The first inner cavity 2121 and the second inner cavity 2122 are arranged side-by-side vertically at the first end cover 212. In this embodiment, to facilitate the replacement of the battery 21221 in the power supply module, the second inner cavity 2122 can be located near the lower edge of the first end cover 212, reducing space obstruction. Correspondingly, the first inner cavity 2121 is located above the second inner cavity 2122. The electronic control components in the first inner cavity 2121 are electrically connected to the power supply module in the second inner cavity 2122 via wires. This wire connection ensures the reliability of power supply and control. Both the first inner cavity 2121 and the second inner cavity 2122 span the front end of a pair of elastic telescopic tubes, and both are longitudinally elongated. Optionally, when configuring the electronic control components for the telescopic rod 211, the power supply module shown in the above embodiment can be arranged based on a bracket. For example, the power supply module can be installed in the cavity of the bracket that supports the scissor frame. Without affecting the original scissor frame layout, installing the power supply module inside the bracket helps to shorten the length of the connection line between the first control module and the first motor, and also helps to improve the overall neatness of the drying assembly structure.

[0041] Optionally, first limiting members 2123 are respectively provided at both ends of the longitudinal length of the first inner cavity 2121 and the second inner cavity 2122 to provide multiple limiting points or installation positions. (Reference) Figures 8-9The first limiting member 2123 includes a cover plate 21231, a motor positioning groove 21232 protruding from the outer side of the cover plate 21231, and an inner cavity positioning groove 21233 protruding from the inner side of the cover plate 21231. Specifically, the size of the cover plate 21231 covers the ends of the first inner cavity 2121 and the second inner cavity 2122. The side that contacts the first inner cavity 2121 and the second inner cavity 2122 is defined as the inner side. The inner side of the cover plate 21231 is provided with two upper and lower arranged inner cavity positioning grooves 21233, which respectively adapt to the cross-sectional contours of the first inner cavity 2121 and the second inner cavity 2122, so that the cover plate 21231 can be nested at the edges of the first inner cavity 2121 and the second inner cavity 2122. The side opposite to the inner side of the cover plate 21231 is defined as the outer side. The outer side of the cover plate 21231 is provided with a semi-enclosed motor positioning groove 21232. The inner sidewall of the motor positioning groove 21232 is adapted to the outer contour of the motor 224 (such as the first motor included in the drying assembly). The bottom of the groove is also provided with a through hole through which the output shaft of the motor 224 passes, so that the motor 224 is connected to the roller 223 in the first inner cavity 2121. The output shaft of the motor 224 can drive the roller 223 to rotate forward or reverse, so as to realize the winding or unfolding of the soft drying piece 22. Optionally, this embodiment uses a brushless motor. Thus, the contour of the inner sidewall of the motor positioning groove 21232 is adapted to the outer contour of the brushless motor and is configured as an approximately single-sided open rectangle. Optionally, the forward rotation of motor 224 drives the reel 223 to rotate forward, thereby winding up the soft drying rack 22; the reverse rotation of motor 224 drives the reel 223 to rotate in reverse, thereby spreading (extending) the soft drying rack 22. In one example, the direction of rotation of motor 224 can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as setting forward rotation to extend the soft drying rack 22 and reverse rotation to wind up the soft drying rack 22; forward and reverse rotation are relative, and this disclosure does not specifically limit them.

[0042] Optionally, the outer wall of the motor positioning groove 21232 is provided with an abutment area 21232a that abuts against the plug 2111 of the telescopic rod 211. This abutment area 21232a is the groove wall between the motor 224 and the telescopic rod 211. In this application, a screw 21111 is inserted from the outside of the plug 2111 to fix the various parts connected to the plug 2111 (including the spring 2113, outer sleeve 2115, and outer shell 2116). Thus, the front end of the plug 2111 is the head of the screw 21111. Typically, the head of the screw has a standard three-dimensional geometric shape (hemispherical, cylindrical, hexagonal prism, etc.) to fit the shape of the screw 21111 head. The abutment area 21232a needs to be constructed with a groove capable of accommodating and locking the screw 21111 head so that the screw 21111 head does not easily come out when it abuts against the abutment area 21232a. In this embodiment... The angle between the plug 2111 and the motor positioning groove 21232 is approximately 135°. A screw positioning post 21232b protrudes from the outer wall of the motor positioning groove 21232. The axis of this screw positioning post 21232b is perpendicular to the axis of the screw 21111 of the plug 2111. This screw positioning post 21232b is integrally formed with the motor positioning groove 21232. Thus, the abutment area 21232a of the motor positioning groove 21232 forms a recessed structure corresponding to the head of the screw 21111 of the plug 2111. This recessed structure has a certain degree of versatility and can adapt to the heads of various common screws. Optionally, the abutment area 21232a can also be provided with a connector for a fixed connection or a detachable connection between the plug 2111 and the first limiting member 2123 to further enhance the abutment stability. The motor positioning slot 21232 can also be provided with more screw positioning posts 21232b, which cooperate with the screw positioning posts 21232b in the abutment area 21232a to achieve the encapsulation and fixation of the motor 224.

[0043] Depending on the drying components integrated into the electric clothes dryer, the first end cover 212 may also be provided with other inner cavities, which may be located above, below, or beside the first inner cavity 2121 and the second inner cavity 2122. In order to highlight the decorative function of the first end cover 212, an independent decorative panel may be provided on its outer surface to cover the various inner cavities that are set in different areas.

[0044] refer to Figure 2 and 9The soft drying rack 22 of this application can be made of mesh fabric, bamboo-shaped connectors made of multiple links, etc. Optionally, the soft drying rack 22 can be laid in the drying net frame 21. The soft drying rack 22 is equipped with a rolled edge 221 and an unfolded edge 222. The rolled edge 221 of the soft drying rack 22 is rolled into the first end cover 212 by a roller 223, specifically rolled into the first inner cavity 2121. The two ends of the roller 223 are respectively fixed in the first limiting member 2123. At least one end of the roller 223 is controlled to rotate forward or backward by a motor 224 fixed in the first limiting member 2123. The unfolded edge 222 of the soft drying rack 22 is fixed in the positioning rod 213. The soft drying rack 22 serves as the drying and support structure for the electric telescopic rack 2. It is preferably made of a waterproof, weather-resistant, bend-resistant, and tensile-resistant material, such as rust-proof wire mesh, polyethylene mesh, polypropylene mesh, nylon mesh, or polyester mesh. In this application, the horizontal plane of the soft drying rack 22 in its unfolded state is slightly lower than the upper edge of the pair of telescopic rods 211, and even lower than their lower edge, so that the drying net frame 21 can act as a barrier around the soft drying rack 22. The roller 223 includes a core and optionally a coil spring wound around the core. The coil spring ensures that the net fabric 22 is always wound towards the core, allowing the net fabric 22 to automatically rewind without external force or with weak external force.

[0045] Based on the unfolding method of the soft drying rack 22 and the support method of the pair of telescopic poles 211, the telescopic principle of the drying net of this application is as follows: A pair of telescopic rods 211 maintain a moderately compressed state, accumulating a reverse outward force, so that the first end cap 212 is continuously pressed tightly by the pair of telescopic rods 211. Since the pair of telescopic rods 211 can maintain a horizontal state, the entire drying net frame 21 can remain horizontal within the extension and contraction range of the telescopic rods 211. The rolled-up edge 221 and the spread-out edge 222 of the soft drying piece 22 are fixed respectively, and are kept taut under the pressing action of the pair of telescopic rods 211, thereby providing a certain load-bearing capacity, which can be used to dry items (clothing or food) within a certain weight range. When the roller 223 rotates forward, driving the release of the coiled edge 221 of the soft drying rack 22, the distance between the coiled edge 221 and the spread edge 222 increases, gradually releasing the pressure on the pair of telescopic rods 211. The tightening effect of the pair of telescopic rods 211 on the first end cap 212 becomes dominant. Under the combined action of the pushing force of the telescopic rods 211 and the pulling force of the soft drying rack 22, the first end cap 212 gradually moves forward, and the electric telescopic frame 2 unfolds. When the roller 223 drives the coiled edge 221 of the soft drying rack 22 to coil up, the distance between the coiled edge 221 and the spread edge 222 decreases, gradually increasing the pressure on the pair of telescopic rods 211. The coiling effect of the soft drying rack 22 becomes dominant, and under the combined action of the pushing force of the telescopic rods 211 and the pulling force of the soft drying rack 22, the first end cap 212 gradually moves backward, and the electric telescopic frame 2 retracts. The forward and reverse rotation of scroll 223 is relative and does not limit the direction of forward rotation or reverse rotation.

[0046] In another embodiment (not shown), if an electric control component is installed within the skeleton members, the roller 223 does not need an electric control component, and the spring 2113 may not be required in the skeleton members. The unfolding and retraction of the drying frame 21 can be directly controlled by the skeleton members. In one possible implementation, an electric control component is installed within the overlapping section of the interlocking skeleton members, allowing the interlocking skeleton members to move towards or away from each other, thereby extending and retracting the telescopic rod 211. Optionally, the electric control component includes a drive component and a transmission component. The drive component may be a suitable motor (such as a first motor connected to the telescopic rod), and the transmission component includes a guide rail and a sliding component respectively connected to the coaxially sleeved skeleton members, allowing the sliding component to move along the guide rail under the drive of the drive component. When the telescopic rod 211 is composed of an inner sleeve 2114 and an outer sleeve 2115, the transmission component is set in the gap between the inner sleeve 2114 and the outer sleeve 2115, with the overlap range of the two serving as the stroke control area. Specifically, a guide rail is set between the shortest and longest overlap marks to limit the stroke range of the sliding component. The driving component transmits the driving force to the sliding component through a reasonably designed transmission structure. When the telescopic rod 211 is composed of a housing 2116 and a fixed rod 231, the configuration of the electric control component is as described above and will not be repeated.

[0047] Optionally, the first motor connected to the reel 223 and the first motor connected to the telescopic rod 211 are two independent components. This disclosure involves two schemes: electrically controlling the reel 223 and electrically controlling the telescopic rod 211. In one example, electrically controlled connectors can be provided between the reel 223 and the first motor, and between the telescopic rod 211 and the first motor, to control the connection between the first motor and the controlled components electrically.

[0048] refer to Figure 1 , 3 ~7. In this embodiment, the electric telescopic frame 2 also includes a fixed frame 23. The fixed frame 23 includes a pair of fixed rods 231 that are coaxially nested with the telescopic rod 211. The inner cavity size of the fixed rod 231 is larger than the outer contour size of the telescopic rod 211. Specifically, the inner cavity size of the fixed rod 231 is larger than the outer contour size of the outer shell 2116 of the telescopic rod 211, so that the telescopic rod 211 can be completely stored inside the fixed rod 231, realizing the concealed storage of the electric telescopic frame 2. Optionally, the sleeve 2118 of the telescopic rod 211 is installed at the end of the fixed rod 231, and the fixing plate 21182 of the sleeve 2118 extends downward. In this embodiment, the function of the sleeve 2118 is to fill the gap between the outer shell 2116 of the telescopic rod 211 and the fixed rod 231. The pad 2117 installed adjacent to the sleeve 2118 is disposed in the fixing sleeve. The pad 2117 can extend the filling range between the outer shell 2116 of the telescopic rod 211 and the fixed rod 231, thereby reducing the shaking and noise generated when the electric telescopic frame 2 is unfolded or retracted. The fixing plate 21182 of the sleeve 2118 also serves as an abutment structure for the electric telescopic frame 2 to be retracted into place. It can also serve as the moving endpoint for the first end cap 212 to be retracted inward. Sensors can also be set on the fixing plate 21182 for intelligent control of the electric telescopic frame 2, including but not limited to controlling the unfolding length of the electric telescopic frame 2 or judging the load level of the electric telescopic frame 2.

[0049] The fixing rod 231 can be made of a more durable material, providing a stable fulcrum for the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rack 2. This fixing rod 231 also serves as the fixing rod 231 for all drying components, belonging to the main drying rack 4. Other functional drying rods can be configured based on this pair of fixing rods 231, for example, by placing a quilt drying rod above or below the fixing rod 231. The base 2112 of the aforementioned telescopic rod 211 can be fixed inside the fixing rod 231, achieving an assembly method where one fixing rod 231 coaxially accommodates two telescopic rods 211 in opposite directions. Preferably, the base 2112 is installed at an axially symmetrical position on the fixing rod 231.

[0050] Optionally, in this embodiment, the positioning rod 213 is orthogonally fixed between a pair of fixing rods 231. The pair of positioning rods 213 and the pair of fixing rods 231 constitute the basic frame of the main drying rack 4, and are connected between the positioning rods 213 and the main unit 1 by a scissor bracket 5 or a wire rope, forming a retractable drying assembly. (Reference) Figure 1 , 1011. When the fixing rod 231 is present, the positioning rod 213 is directly connected to the fixing rod 231. At this time, the positioning rod 213 includes transition ends 2132 at both ends. The transition ends 2132 include a vertically arranged fixing plate 21321, an upper relief groove 21322 that is laterally recessed relative to the upper edge of the fixing plate 21321, a lower relief groove 21323 that is laterally recessed relative to the lower edge of the fixing plate 21321, a protective cover 21324 that extends laterally from the top of the upper relief groove 21322, an upper stop bar 21325 that extends downward from both sides of the upper relief groove 21322, a lower stop bar 21326 that extends upward from both sides of the lower relief groove 21323, and a reinforcing back plate 21327 that extends vertically downward from the bottom of the upper relief groove 21322 to the bottom of the lower relief groove 21323. Optionally, the positioning rod 213 abuts against the fixing rod 231 via the fixing plate 21321 and is connected by bolts. The inward depth and shape of the upper clearance groove 21322 and the lower clearance groove 21323 are related to the structure of the fixing rod 231. In this embodiment, the fixing rod 231 body extends downward to form an extension plate with multiple hanging holes, thereby forming a contour with protruding upper and lower edges on the inner side of the fixing rod 231. The fixing plate 21321, the upper clearance groove 21322, and the lower clearance groove 21323 of the transition end 2132 are adapted to the contour of the inner side of the fixing rod 231. The protective cover 21324, the upper baffle 21325, the lower baffle 21326, and the reinforcing back plate 21327 are all configured to meet the usage requirements of the electric clothes drying rack. In other embodiments, the specific shape and structure of the protective cover 21324, the upper baffle 21325, the lower baffle 21326, and the reinforcing back plate 21327 can be adaptively adjusted. In other possible implementations, when the fixing rod 231 is absent, the positioning rod 213 can be directly connected to the outer shell 2116 of the telescopic rod 211. In this case, the positioning rod 213 can translate along with the translation of the outer shell 2116. The structure of the upper clearance groove 21322 and the lower clearance groove 21323 can be modified or omitted according to the actual situation. The positioning rod 213 in this embodiment also includes a first slot 2131. The first slot 2131 is provided on the side of the positioning rod 213 facing the soft drying piece 22, and is used to fix the spreading edge 222 of the soft drying piece 22. The connection between the spreading edge 222 of the soft drying piece 22 and the first slot 2131 can be detachable, but it should be ensured that when the soft drying piece 22 is pulled in the direction of the first end cap 212 in the connected state, the spreading edge 222 of the soft drying piece 22 cannot be dislodged from the first slot 2131. In this embodiment, the spread edge 222 of the soft drying piece 22 is sealed with adhesive strips. The adhesive strips are nested in the first slot 2131. At least two pins are provided that are vertically inserted into the first slot 2131 and abut against the adhesive strips to fix the adhesive strips.

[0051] Optionally, the positioning rod 213 also includes an inner groove 2133 for mounting the scissor bracket 5, whereby the first slot 2131 and the transition end 2132 are configured on the outside of the inner groove 2133. Based on the inner groove 2133, other mounting or positioning structures can also be configured on the positioning rod 213 to meet the assembly requirements of the drying components. If the positioning rod 213 is connected to the main unit 1 by a wire rope, the positioning rod 213 with the first slot 2131 can be integrated. If the installation requirements of the two ends of the positioning rod 213 with the fixed rod 231 or the telescopic rod 211 are relatively simple, the transition end 2132 can also be integrated with the positioning rod 213.

[0052] It can be seen that the positioning rod 213 is not only the connecting structure in the middle of a pair of telescopic rods 211, forming the drying net frame 21, but also the connection center of the entire drying assembly.

[0053] In other embodiments, a telescopic quilt drying rod 3 is provided above the electric telescopic frame 2. The telescopic quilt drying rod 3 includes an extension rod 32 that extends and retracts in the same direction as the electric telescopic frame 2, and a second end cap 31 is provided at the end of the extension rod 32. In one possible implementation, the second end cap 31 is integrally formed with the first end cap 212. When the electric telescopic frame 2 is unfolded, it will drive the telescopic quilt drying rod 3 to unfold horizontally in sync. The extension rod 32 and the telescopic rod 211 of the telescopic quilt drying rod 3 are arranged side by side vertically. The advantage of this arrangement is that it can provide a deeper accommodating space for the electric telescopic frame 2, and the enclosure of the electric telescopic frame 2 is equivalent to being raised by the extension rod 32. The simultaneous unfolding and folding of the telescopic quilt drying rod 3 and the electric telescopic frame 2 helps to keep the telescopic quilt drying rod 3 visually hidden before it is unfolded and used. Another possible implementation is that the second end cover 31 is detachably connected to the first end cover 212. A connector can be provided on either the second end cover 31 or the first end cover 212 for selectively connecting the first end cover 212 and the second end cover 31. The connector can be implemented as a pin assembly, a snap-fit ​​assembly, or a magnetic assembly. The advantage of this configuration is that, when only the electric telescopic frame 2 is needed, it can be deployed independently, reducing the operational burden on the motor 224. Optionally, the connection or disassembly of the connector can be manually controlled or configured with an electronic control module to achieve intelligent control. For example, the connector that achieves electric control through an electronic control module can also be called an electronically controlled connector. Considering the connection structure between the electronically controlled connector and the first control module, the electronically controlled connector can be placed on one side of the first end cover 212. Based on this, the second end cover 31 can be configured with a structure that mates with the electronically controlled connector. In one example, if the electronically controlled connector is magnetically connected, and the second end cover 31 is made of metal, then the second end cover 31 does not need to be additionally configured with a structure that mates with the electronically controlled connector. The mounting position of the connector can be set on the front of the end cover, the side of the end cover, or between the gaps directly opposite the first end cover 212 and the second end cover 31.

[0054] In summary, the electric telescopic rack of this application includes a drying net frame and a soft drying component laid within the drying net frame. The drying net frame includes a pair of parallel telescopic rods, a first end cap connected to the front end of the telescopic rods, and a positioning rod connected to the middle of the telescopic rods. The rolled-up edge of the soft drying component is wound into the first end cap via a roller, and the unfolded edge of the soft drying component is fixed in the positioning rod. The telescopic rod includes a plug, a base, and springs connected at both ends to the plug and the base, respectively. The springs achieve telescopic movement under the constraint of the frame members. This application also provides an electric clothes drying machine, which includes a main unit and a drying assembly, wherein the drying assembly includes the electric telescopic rack as described above. The electric telescopic rack of this application provides telescopic rods that not only provide compression space for storing the drying net, but also provide strong pressure, which can act as a counter-pressure against the first end cap, achieving overall support for the drying net frame. This eliminates the need for additional bottom support during the unfolding process of the soft drying component, and the telescopic rods provide external force for tensioning the soft drying component.

[0055] Optionally, the first control module and the second control module may include a processor and a memory. The processor may be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit), a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a general-purpose processor, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or other programmable logic devices, transistor logic devices, hardware components, or any combination thereof. It may implement or execute the various exemplary logic blocks, modules, and circuits described in conjunction with the present disclosure. The processor may also be a combination that implements computing functions, such as a combination of one or more microprocessors, a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, etc.

[0056] The following is combined with Figure 12 The control method for the drying assembly provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will be described.

[0057] In one feasible embodiment, the control method for the drying assembly can be executed by the first control module, such as... Figure 12 The method may include S101-S102: S101. Receive the first control command issued by the clothes drying machine host; the first control command is issued when a preset behavioral event is detected.

[0058] S102. Based on the first control command, adjust the operating state of the first motor to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame.

[0059] Optionally, the drying assembly is equipped with an independently controlled first control module, and the drying assembly can be a component included in the clothes drying machine. The corresponding first control module can be controlled by the host (such as a second control module). For example, the operation performed by the first control module can be based on the instructions issued by the second control module, or it can send a request to the second control module and perform the operation after receiving the approval feedback from the second control module.

[0060] Optionally, the preset behavior event may include one of the following: Behavioral event 1: The object initiates an operation to control the telescopic frame to extend or retract.

[0061] For example, under electronic control, the user can initiate the operation of extending or retracting the clothes drying rack via an application, mini-program, remote control, voice control, or buttons configured on the rack. The corresponding information can be received by the first control module via a button and reported to the second control module, or it can be received by the second control module via an application, mini-program, remote control, or voice control commands.

[0062] Behavioral event 2: When responding to an operation object's upward operation on the drying component, the weight of the clothes carried by the telescopic frame in the extended state is less than a preset first weight threshold.

[0063] For example, the clothes drying rack can also be pre-configured with user scenarios. In this scenario, the lifting operation initiated by the user on the drying component may be implemented after the user has completed the act of collecting or hanging clothes. If the user collects the clothes hanging on the telescopic rack, the telescopic rack does not need to remain extended and can be adjusted to a retracted state to reduce the overall swaying of the drying component during the lifting process and improve the stability of the clothes drying rack. Based on this, when the second control module of the host responds to the lifting operation initiated by the user on the drying component, it can detect the weight of the clothes carried by the telescopic rack in the extended state. If the weight value is less than a preset first weight threshold (the first weight threshold can be set based on the state when the telescopic rack is not carrying clothes), it indicates that there are no clothes hanging or placed on the telescopic rack, and the retraction control of the telescopic rack can be triggered.

[0064] Optionally, upon receiving a first control command, the first control module can control the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame by adjusting the operating state of the first motor. The operating state of the first motor may include forward rotation, reverse rotation, or stop rotation. In this embodiment, the first control module controls the first motor to drive the soft drying rack to roll up or extend, thereby achieving overall extension and retraction control of the telescopic frame due to the driven relationship of the telescopic rod.

[0065] In a feasible embodiment, when the first motor is connected to the roller, that is, when the electronic control occurs on the side of the soft drying rack, in step S102, adjusting the operating state of the first motor based on the first control command to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame includes at least one of the following steps A1-A3: Step A1: If the first control command instructs to retract the telescopic frame, then control the first motor to rotate forward to drive the roller to rotate in the forward direction, so that the soft drying rack is rolled up and the telescopic rod is forcefully retracted toward the main drying rack.

[0066] Optionally, when the first control command determines that the telescopic frame needs to be retracted, the first motor can be controlled to rotate forward, thereby driving the roller to rotate forward and causing the soft drying rack to be rolled up. The telescopic rod retracts due to the compressive force of the first end cap towards the main drying rack. For example, during the retraction of the telescopic frame, the driving force provided by the first motor and the winding force provided by the coil spring in the roller are combined to achieve the winding of the soft drying rack, thereby causing the telescopic rod to retract through the movement of the first end cap towards the main drying rack.

[0067] Step A2: If the first control command instructs to extend at least part of the telescopic frame, then control the first motor to reverse so as to drive the roller to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the soft drying rack is extended at least part and the telescopic rod is subjected to force and / or extends at least part of itself away from the main drying rack due to its own elastic force.

[0068] Optionally, in some scenarios, considering the required drying space and the compatibility of the clothes dryer with the external environment, it may only be necessary to extend part of the telescopic frame. To effectively control the extension range of the telescopic frame, the first motor can be reversed, which in turn drives the roller to rotate in the opposite direction, allowing the soft drying rack to be laid out. The telescopic rod extends because the compression force on it gradually decreases due to the horizontal movement of the first end cap. The extension range of the telescopic frame can be controlled by controlling the number of reverse rotations of the first motor.

[0069] Optionally, when the telescopic frame is at least partially extended by controlling the reel with the first motor, the driving force provided by the first motor counteracts the winding force of the spring in the reel, and the balance among the three is achieved by the driving force, the winding force and the elastic force provided by the springs arranged in the telescopic rod.

[0070] For example, when only part of the telescopic frame is extended, the extension range of the telescopic frame can be controlled by controlling the number of reverse rotations of the motor. Correspondingly, the extension space of the telescopic frame can be controlled by controlling the first motor to stop rotating. At this time, when the first motor stops rotating, the cooperation structure between the first motor and the reel achieves a balance between the winding force of the reel spring in the reel and the elastic force of the spring in the telescopic rod.

[0071] Step A3: If the first control command instructs to extend the entire telescopic frame, then control the first motor to disengage from the roller, so that the telescopic rod extends away from the main drying rack due to its own elastic force, and the soft drying rack unfolds as the telescopic rod extends.

[0072] Optionally, in some scenarios, to fully utilize the drying space expanded by the telescopic rack, it is necessary to fully extend the telescopic rack. Considering that the telescopic rod can return to its maximum length under its own elastic force when not under force, in order to reduce the resources (electricity) required to control the telescopic rack, when it is determined that the telescopic rack needs to be fully extended, the first motor can be omitted for control. The first motor can be disconnected from the roller, so that the telescopic rod returns to its maximum length (fully extended in the direction away from the main drying rack) under its own elastic force. At the same time, since the elastic force provided by the spring in the telescopic rod is greater than the winding force provided by the coil spring in the roller, the first end cap moves away from the main drying rack due to the extension of the telescopic rod, thereby driving the soft drying rack to unfold.

[0073] For example, a coil spring is installed in the roller. When the roller rotates forward driven by the first motor, the soft drying rack is wound up based on the external force on the coil spring and its own winding force. When the roller rotates in reverse driven by the first motor, the soft drying rack unfolds because the external force on the coil spring is greater than its own winding force. The extension of the soft drying rack and the extension of the telescopic rod are synchronized, and the synchronous extension process of the soft drying rack and the telescopic rod is reflected by the horizontal movement of the first end cap.

[0074] For example, a connecting component can be provided between the reel and the first motor for electrically controlling the connection between them. A magnetic connection can be used to flexibly control the connection between the reel and the first motor.

[0075] In a feasible embodiment, when the first motor is connected to the telescopic pole, that is, when the electronic control occurs on one side of the telescopic pole, S102 adjusts the operating state of the first motor based on the first control command to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame, including at least one of the following steps A11-A31: Step A11: If the first control command instructs at least a portion of the telescopic frame to be retracted, then control the first motor to rotate forward to drive the telescopic rod to retract at least a portion, and cause the soft drying rack to be retracted by the winding force of the coil spring and / or the force of the first end cap moving toward the main drying rack.

[0076] Optionally, the limited telescopic space provided by the telescopic rack is adjustable. The size of the telescopic space provided by the telescopic rack can be controlled by controlling the extension or retraction stroke (telescopic range). When controlling at least the retracted portion of the telescopic rack, the retracted length of the telescopic rod can be controlled by controlling the number of forward rotations of the first motor, and thus the length of the soft drying rack rolled up under the winding force of the coiling spring can be controlled by the stroke of the first end cap moving towards the main drying rack. Exemplarily, in this process, the driving force provided by the first motor and the winding force provided by the coiling spring are balanced, and the rotational speed of the first motor can also be used to control the winding speed of the soft drying rack.

[0077] Step A21: If the first control command instructs to retract all of the telescopic racks, then control the first motor to disengage from the telescopic rod, so that the soft drying rack is retracted by the winding force of the coil spring, and the telescopic rod is retracted by the force of the first end cap moving toward the main drying rack.

[0078] Optionally, considering that the coil spring always provides a winding force to the soft drying rack, in order to reduce the energy consumption of the telescopic rack extension control, when the first control command instructs the retraction of the entire telescopic rack, the first motor can be disengaged from the telescopic rod, so that the entire telescopic rack moves under the winding force of the coil spring. The winding force provided by the coil spring causes the soft drying rack to retract, driving the first end cover to move towards the main drying rack, thereby driving the telescopic rod to retract.

[0079] Step A31: If the first control command instructs the extension of the telescopic frame, then control the first motor to reverse to drive the telescopic rod to extend, and cause the soft drying rack to unfold under the force of the first end cover moving away from the main drying rack.

[0080] Optionally, when the first motor drives the telescopic rod to extend, the first end cap moves away from the main drying rack. At this time, the first end cap will cause the soft drying rack to extend. In this case, the driving force provided by the first motor and the winding force provided by the coil spring resist each other. That is, when the extension of the telescopic rack is controlled by the first motor, the driving force provided by the first motor is greater than the winding force provided by the coil spring.

[0081] In one feasible embodiment, an obstruction detection module is installed on the drying rack frame, and the obstruction detection module is connected to the first control module. Optionally, the obstruction detection module may be installed on the side of the first end cover away from the main drying rack to maximize the detection of whether the position of the telescopic rack has any impact on the external environment. For example, the obstruction detection module may include devices or components such as microwave radar and infrared sensors that can be used to detect the distance between the telescopic rack and surrounding objects. Optionally, the obstruction detection module may be wirelessly or electrically connected to the first control module.

[0082] Optionally, the method for controlling the drying components may further include at least one of the following steps B1-B2: Step B1: Upon receiving a first obstruction signal in the horizontal direction from the telescopic frame during its extension process, the telescopic rod is stopped from extending by controlling the first motor, and the reel is stopped from rotating or the first motor is reversed a preset number of times after being connected to the reel.

[0083] Optionally, when the user triggers the telescopic frame to extend, it may be difficult to visually assess whether the extended length of the telescopic frame might touch objects in the external environment. To improve the effectiveness of the telescopic frame's extension and its compatibility with the overall usable space, the obstruction detection module can be activated simultaneously with the extension of the telescopic frame to detect in the horizontal direction. If the distance between the position of the first end cap of the telescopic frame and the position of an object in the external environment is less than a preset first distance threshold, the obstruction detection module sends a first obstruction signal to the first control module to control the extension range of the telescopic frame through the first motor.

[0084] Specifically, when the first motor is connected to the telescopic rod, it can be used to control the telescopic rod to stop extending, thereby controlling the entire telescopic frame to stop extending and remain in its current extended state. When the first motor is connected to the reel, it can be used to control the reel to stop rotating, maintaining the telescopic frame in its current state and preventing it from continuing to extend and touching objects in the external environment; or it can control the first motor to reverse the rotation a preset number of times after connecting to the reel, thereby reducing the telescopic frame's extension length to ensure that the telescopic frame does not touch objects in the external environment.

[0085] Optionally, the preset number of motor rotations can be controlled using an encoder or a timer. For example, an encoder can be a sensor that generates pulse signals, tracking the position and direction of the motor's rotation. By detecting the signal output by the encoder, the number of motor rotations can be determined. A timer can be a programmable timer that controls the number of motor rotations based on set time parameters. The timer is started at the beginning of each motor rotation, and the corresponding time parameters are set. The motor stops rotating when the set threshold is reached.

[0086] Step B2: Upon receiving a second obstruction signal in the vertical direction from the telescopic frame in its extended state, report the second obstruction signal to the host and receive a second control command from the host; if the second control command instructs the drying assembly to continue lifting operations, control the first motor to rotate forward to at least partially retract the telescopic frame; if the second control command instructs the drying assembly to stop lifting operations, when it is determined that the weight of the clothes carried by the telescopic frame is less than a preset second weight threshold, control the first motor to rotate forward to retract the telescopic frame.

[0087] Optionally, considering the large space occupied by the drying rack in its extended state, to prevent damage or violent shaking caused by contact with objects in the external environment during lifting operations, an obstruction detection module can be activated simultaneously with the lifting operation to detect the presence of any objects in the vertical space that might potentially collide with the drying rack. If the distance between the current height of the telescopic rack and the height of any object in the vertical space (which could be above or below the telescopic rack) is less than a preset second distance threshold, the obstruction detection module sends a second obstruction signal to the first control module. The first control module then reports this second obstruction signal to the host computer and receives a second control command from the host computer. At this point, the host computer can instruct the lifting operation to continue or to stop.

[0088] When the second control command is determined to be an instruction to continue the lifting operation, the first control module can control the first motor to rotate forward, so as to control the telescopic rod to retract or control the reel to rotate forward, thereby retracting at least part of the telescopic frame and preventing the telescopic frame from touching objects in the external environment.

[0089] When the second control command is determined to be an instruction to stop the lifting operation, the main unit has already prevented the drying assembly from contacting objects in the external environment. To ensure smooth execution of the lifting operation, the first control module can detect the weight of the clothes currently carried on the telescopic frame. If the weight of the clothes is less than a preset second weight threshold, indicating that the telescopic frame is not hanging or has clothes on it, the first motor can be controlled to rotate forward, retracting the telescopic frame and reducing the space occupied by the drying assembly. Based on this, after retracting the telescopic frame, if the obstruction problem is resolved, the lifting operation of the drying assembly can continue to be controlled.

[0090] In a feasible embodiment, the control method of the drying assembly further includes step C1: if it is determined that the remaining power of the power supply module is less than a preset power threshold, the power information is reported to the host so that when the drying assembly is at the upper limit of its travel, the first charging interface is connected to the second charging interface on the host and the power supply module is charged by mains power.

[0091] Optionally, since the telescopic rack is powered by a power supply module that exists independently of the main power supply, in order to maintain the health of the power supply module (to provide stable power to the electrical appliances), the first control module can detect the remaining power of the power supply module. When it is determined that the remaining power of the power supply module is less than the preset power threshold, the power supply module can report the power information to the main power supply. The main power supply can then trigger the drying rack assembly to rise to the upper limit of its travel, or wait until the drying assembly is at the upper limit of its travel in subsequent operations, and then connect the first charging interface to the second charging interface on the main power supply, and use AC power (the power supply connected to the main power supply) to charge the power supply module.

[0092] In one feasible embodiment, a limit switch is provided on the side of the first end cap facing the main drying rack, and the limit switch is connected to the first control module.

[0093] Optionally, in S102, based on the first control command, the operating state of the first motor is adjusted to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame, including step D1: when the telescopic frame is controlled to retract based on the first control command, if a signal sent by the limit switch touching the main drying rack is received, the first motor is controlled to stop rotating so that the telescopic frame remains unchanged in its current state.

[0094] Optionally, when the telescopic frame approaches the main drying rack, the limit switch generates an electrical signal due to contact with the main drying rack. When the first control module receives this electrical signal, it can determine that the telescopic frame has retracted to the correct position. At this time, the first control module can precisely control the first motor to stop rotating, so that the telescopic frame remains in its current retracted state. This avoids damage caused by the soft drying items being over-wound by the roller due to the continued rotation of the first motor, or shaking of the entire drying assembly due to the continuous retraction of the telescopic rod. Furthermore, the placement of the limit switch allows for mechanical structure to assist electrical control, which helps to improve the accuracy of operation control.

[0095] Optionally, it can also be determined whether to extend or retract to the horizontal limit by detecting the pulse signal of the motor.

[0096] In a feasible embodiment, step S102 adjusts the operating state of the first motor based on the first control command to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame, including at least one of steps E1-E2: Step E1: If the first control command instructs the telescopic quilt drying rod to extend and retract synchronously with the telescopic frame, then control the electrical control connector to connect to the second end cover so that the telescopic quilt drying rod extends and retracts synchronously with the telescopic frame.

[0097] Step E2: If the first control command instructs the telescopic frame to extend and retract independently of the telescopic quilt drying rod, then control the electrical control connector to disengage from the second end cover, so as to independently control the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame.

[0098] Optionally, considering that the installation of the drying rod will increase the weight of the drying assembly, if the extension and retraction of the drying rod must be synchronized with the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame, energy will be wasted due to the extension and retraction operation when the drying rod is not in use. Energy resources are crucial for drying assemblies that can be independently controlled. To effectively save resources and reduce energy consumption, the objects to be extended and retracted can be distinguished. If the first control command instructs that both the drying rod and the telescopic frame need to extend and retract synchronously, the electrical control connector can be connected to the second end cap, making the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic frame a single unit. Then, by controlling the rotation of the first motor, the extension and retraction of the drying rod and the telescopic frame can be driven synchronously. If the first control command instructs that the telescopic frame extends and retracts independently of the drying rod, i.e., when the drying rod is not needed, the connection between the electrical control connector and the second end cap can be controlled, allowing the telescopic frame to be controlled as an independent component.

[0099] In one example, the connection between the first and second end caps can also be manually operated. When the user determines that the drying rack is not needed, they can manually detach the connection between the first and second end caps and initiate the operation of extending or retracting the telescopic frame. Optionally, the user can also manually operate the connector to establish a connection between the first and second end caps, so that when the user triggers the extension or retraction operation of the telescopic frame, the telescopic frame drives the drying rack to extend or retract synchronously.
