[0023] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a switch linkage system, including a main control unit, a first switch unit K1, a second switch unit K2, and a storage unit; the first switch unit K1 is simultaneously located in the AC power circuit where the main control unit, the lighting circuit and the clothes drying machine host are located, and is used to control the main control unit, the lighting circuit and the clothes drying machine host to access the AC power; the second switch unit K2 is connected to the main control unit, and is used to send a switch signal to the main control unit; the main control unit is connected to the lighting circuit, and is used to control the connection state of the lighting circuit and the AC power; the main control unit is connected to the clothes drying machine host, and is used to send a clothes drying machine lifting command to the clothes drying machine host according to the received switch signal; the storage unit is arranged in the clothes drying machine host to power the clothes drying machine host, and is charged by connecting to the AC power of the clothes drying machine host.

[0024] This application mainly solves the problem that when the house is delivered, the balcony has been installed with a balcony lamp. In order to avoid waste later, a clothes drying machine without lighting is directly installed on the balcony lamp, and a wall switch is used to directly control the balcony lamp and the clothes drying machine, and the linkage between the lighting circuit and the clothes drying machine is realized.

[0025] The main control unit includes a core controller and peripheral circuits. The peripheral circuits include a step-down rectifier circuit. The input end of the step-down rectifier circuit is connected to the output end of the first switch unit K1. The output end of the step-down rectifier module supplies power to the control module of the main control unit. That is, the city power passes through the first switch unit K1 and is stepped down and rectified by the step-down rectifier circuit before being provided to the controller and other devices in the main control unit for power supply. The first switch unit K1 and the second switch unit K2 are both arranged in a wall switch box. Figure 2As shown, both the first switch unit K1 and the second switch unit K2 can be arranged in the 86 box, the controller in the main control unit can be an MCU, and the first switch unit K1 can be a single-throw switch. When the first switch unit K1 is in the on state, the main power is connected to the main control unit, the lighting circuit, and the main machine of the clothes drying machine; when the first switch unit K1 is in the off state, the main power is disconnected from the main control unit, the lighting circuit, and the main machine of the clothes drying machine. The second switch unit K2 can be a micro-controlled switch, one end of the second switch unit K2 is connected to the main control unit, and the other end is connected to GND or VCC. Taking GND as an example in the figure, the second switch unit K2 is closed, that is, a closing signal is provided to the main control unit; the second switch unit K2 is disconnected, that is, a disconnection signal is provided to the main control unit. In one case, when the second switch unit K2 is closed, the closing signal corresponds to the clothes drying machine rising instruction; in another case, when the second switch unit K2 is closed, the closing signal corresponds to the clothes drying machine descending instruction. The storage unit is arranged in the main machine of the clothes drying machine, and the storage unit includes a charge and discharge management module and a storage board. The charge and discharge management module is used to control the charge and discharge of the storage board.

[0026] In one embodiment, the main control unit is connected to the lighting circuit through a switching device, the control end of the switching device is connected to the main control unit, and the controlled end of the switching device is arranged in the AC power loop where the lighting circuit is located. The main controller controls the connection between the lighting circuit and the AC power by controlling the working state of the switching device.

[0027] Among them, the switching device is a relay, and the control end of the switching device marked in the figure is coil K3, and the controlled end of the switching device is the normally open switch K3. Coil K3 is connected to the main control unit, receives the control of the main control unit, and then controls the normally open switch K3, thereby controlling the on and off of the lighting circuit and the mains.

[0028] In one embodiment, it also includes a light intensity detection unit; the light intensity detection unit is connected to the main control unit, and is used to detect light intensity information and send the detected light intensity information to the main control unit, so that the main control unit controls the working state of the switch device according to the light intensity information.

[0029] This is to avoid wasting resources and to avoid turning on the lighting by mistake. When the light intensity is strong, that is, the brightness is high, such as during the day, the first switch unit K1 is in the on state, and the lighting circuit is disconnected from the mains; when the light intensity is weak, that is, the brightness is low, such as at night, the first switch unit K1 is in the on state, and the lighting circuit is connected to the mains.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the light intensity detection unit is a photodiode, the anode of the photodiode is connected to the DC power input terminal, and the cathode of the photodiode is connected to the main control unit through a resistor; when the first voltage output by the photodiode is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage, the main control unit controls the lighting circuit to be connected to the main power through a switching device; when the first voltage output by the photodiode is less than the first preset voltage, the main control unit controls the lighting circuit to be disconnected from the main power through a switching device.

[0031] A photodiode is a photoelectric device based on the photoelectric effect. When light shines on its PN junction, a photocurrent is generated, the size of which is proportional to the light intensity. The output current changes, and it has a faster response speed and higher sensitivity. Photodiodes are usually used as converters from optical signals to electrical signals, and the switch or brightness of lamps is controlled by detecting the light intensity. The light intensity detection unit can also be a photoresistor, which is also called a light pipe. Its resistance value changes with the change of light intensity. It has a simple structure and low cost. When the light increases, the resistance of the photoresistor decreases; conversely, when the light decreases, the resistance increases. Moreover, photoresistors are usually used as photosensitive elements, which change the current or voltage in the circuit by detecting changes in light intensity, thereby controlling the working state of the lamp.

[0032] For the purpose of energy saving, the lighting circuit can also adjust the power or / and color temperature according to the light intensity. The power regulating circuit includes an amplifier, a resistor and a diode; in one embodiment, the positive phase input terminal of an amplifier is connected to the signal input terminal of the power regulating circuit; the inverting input terminal of the amplifier, one end of a resistor and one end of another resistor are connected; the output terminal of the amplifier, the other end of a resistor, the signal output terminal of the power regulating circuit, the positive electrode of the diode and the positive phase input terminal of another amplifier are connected; the inverting input terminal of another amplifier is connected to one end of a third resistor; the output terminal of another amplifier and the other end of the third resistor are connected to the negative electrode of the diode; the positive power supply input terminal of one amplifier and the positive power supply input terminal of another amplifier are connected to the power supply input terminal of the power regulating circuit; the negative power supply input terminal of one amplifier, the negative power supply input terminal of another amplifier and the other end of another resistor are grounded. In one embodiment, the color temperature adjustment circuit includes a transistor, a resistor, and a MOS tube; the signal input end of the color temperature adjustment circuit, the base of the transistor, and one end of the resistor are connected; the other end of the resistor, the collector of the transistor, and the source of the MOS tube are connected; the collector of the transistor and one end of the fifth resistor are connected to the power input end; the emitter of the transistor is connected to the gate of the MOS tube; the drain of the MOS tube is connected to the output end, and more than one output end is provided.

[0033] There can also be PWM signal adjustment, the duty cycle of the PWM signal increases and decreases in a cycle, that is, the duty cycle of the PWM signal increases from the current duty cycle to the maximum preset duty cycle according to a preset ratio, and then decreases from the maximum preset duty cycle to the minimum preset duty cycle according to a preset ratio, and then increases to the maximum preset duty cycle, and so on and so forth, until a confirmation signal is received, the minimum preset duty ratio is greater than or equal to 0%, and the maximum preset duty ratio is generally 100%. Among them, the preset ratio can be set to 2%, and the adjustment interval of the preset ratio can be set to 0.1S. Alternatively, the duty cycle of the PWM signal can be reduced from the current duty cycle to the minimum preset duty cycle according to a preset ratio, and then increased from the minimum preset duty cycle to the maximum preset duty cycle according to a preset ratio, and then decreased to the minimum preset duty cycle, and so on and so forth, until a confirmation signal is received. Before adjusting the cyclic increase and decrease of the PWM signal, the difference between the maximum preset duty cycle and the current duty cycle can be compared with the preset ratio. When the difference between the maximum preset duty cycle and the current duty cycle is less than the preset ratio, the PWM signal is directly output as the maximum preset duty cycle. In this way, the needs for customized lighting can be met, and the atmosphere can be created by adjusting the light power and color temperature.

[0034] In one embodiment, the main control unit is connected to the main controller in the clothes drying machine through the first wireless communication module.

[0035] The main controller in the clothes drying machine host is also provided with a wireless communication module, or connected to the wireless communication module, and the main control unit is connected to the main controller in the clothes drying machine host, that is, wirelessly connected to the wireless communication module through the first wireless communication module.

[0036] The main control unit also includes a second wireless communication module, which is connected to a terminal to query the status of the lighting circuit and the clothes drying machine host in real time, and receive fault information.

[0037] The first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module can be arranged in the main control unit, or they can be independent of the main control unit and become separate modules. The wireless chip of the first wireless communication module in the figure is 433MHz wireless, which is connected to the main control unit through capacitor C, resistor R2 and resistor R3, or the wireless can be Bluetooth, and the two have different advantages. Bluetooth has the advantages of low power consumption and short-range communication, and can establish a stable connection with the main control unit at a relatively close distance to achieve rapid response and efficient control; Bluetooth can be easily compatible with a variety of devices to achieve seamless connection and control; and can be paired and controlled with multiple Bluetooth devices at the same time; certain encryption measures are adopted to make data transmission safer and more reliable. 433MHz wireless can effectively control the controlled device at a relatively long distance, and is suitable for control needs in outdoor or large spaces. It is less subject to interference; it has strong penetration and can penetrate some obstacles for communication; because the 433MHz frequency band is a free frequency band and the technology is mature, it may have more advantages in cost. Therefore, when using Bluetooth or 433MHz wireless for control, there are obvious differences in communication distance, device compatibility, anti-interference ability, penetration and cost. The appropriate module may be selected according to the specific application scenario and requirements, but both are applicable to this application. The second wireless communication module may be WiFi.

[0038] In one embodiment, the power supply end of the power storage unit is respectively connected to the main controller and the drying rod power system in the clothes drying machine host, and is used to power the main controller and the drying rod power system when the clothes drying machine host is disconnected from the mains power, so that the main controller controls the drying rod to rise through the drying rod power system when the clothes drying machine host is disconnected from the mains power.

[0039] The main controller is provided with a zero-crossing detection circuit, and the main controller is used to control the working state of the storage unit according to the detection signal output by the zero-crossing detection circuit, thereby controlling charging or supplying power to the main controller and the drying pole power system.

[0040] The power supply end in the power storage unit is arranged in the power storage board. The main controller in the clothes drying machine host can detect the state of the first switch unit K1 from the on-circuit to the off-circuit through the zero-crossing circuit, and control the power storage unit to supply power to the main controller and the drying rod power system in the clothes drying machine host. The power storage unit can also include a solar panel to convert solar energy into electrical energy. In addition, the charging and discharging strategies can be adjusted to ensure the maximum utilization of electrical energy. For example, on sunny days, the electrical energy converted by the sun is stored in the power storage board first. On rainy days or at night, it will automatically switch to mains charging to ensure that the power storage board is in a state of sufficient power, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the clothes drying machine. The power storage unit also has overcharge, over-discharge and short-circuit protection functions to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system. In an emergency, the power storage unit can also be used as an emergency power supply to provide temporary power support.

[0041] In order to further improve energy efficiency, the power storage unit is also combined with other functional modules of the clothes drying machine. For example, when the clothes drying machine is in standby mode, the main control board will automatically reduce energy consumption, and the power storage unit will also reduce the charging power accordingly to extend the service life of the power storage board. In short, through the design of the power storage unit, the clothes drying machine can not only achieve energy conservation and environmental protection, but also get rid of dependence on traditional power grids to a certain extent, bringing users a more intelligent and convenient life experience.

[0042] In addition, the light intensity detection unit can also be linked with the curtain drive device. When strong light is detected, the curtain drive device is automatically started to protect indoor furniture and decorations from damage by direct sunlight. For more precise control, the balcony can be subdivided into areas to obtain data for each area. The data includes the operating status of the curtains, light intensity and infrared radiation intensity. The operating status of the smart curtains includes: open state and closed state. When the light is too strong / when the detected temperature is higher than the set temperature, the received signal is fed back to the main control unit, and the main control unit controls the curtains to be drawn to prevent light from shining into the room. The curtain controller can also be manually operated to realize the opening and closing control of the curtains to enrich the control methods of the curtains. For example, at night, the "romantic dinner" scene can be started with one button, the curtains slowly close, and the lighting circuit lights up softly, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere; in the early morning, the "morning wake-up" scene can be set, and the curtains are automatically opened, allowing the warm sunshine to wake up a beautiful day together.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the present application also provides a switch linkage method implemented based on the switch linkage system, wherein the main control unit, the lighting circuit and the clothes drying machine host are connected to the mains through the first switch unit K1; the main control unit is powered on based on the connected mains, and controls the lighting circuit to connect to the mains to start the lighting function; the main control unit receives the switch signal sent by the second switch unit K2, and sends a clothes drying machine lifting instruction to the clothes drying machine host according to the received switch signal; the power storage unit enters a charging state after the clothes drying machine host is connected to the mains, and supplies power to the clothes drying machine host after the clothes drying machine host is disconnected from the mains.

[0044] The first switch unit K1 can simultaneously connect and disconnect the main control unit, the lighting circuit and the clothes drying machine host to the main power. When the first switch unit K1 is connected, the main control unit is powered on, the lighting circuit is connected, the lighting function is started, the clothes drying machine host is turned on, and the power storage unit in the clothes drying machine host is charged. When the second switch unit K2 is switched on, the clothes drying machine host receives the clothes drying machine lifting instruction. When the first switch unit K1 is disconnected, the main control unit is powered off, the lighting circuit is disconnected, the lighting function is turned off, and the clothes drying machine host uses the power of the power storage unit.

[0045] In one embodiment, the switch signal sent by the second switch unit K2 includes a closing signal and an opening signal; the main control unit receives the switch signal sent by the second switch unit K2, and sends a clothes drying machine lifting command to the clothes drying machine host according to the received switch signal, including: when the main control unit receives a closing signal or an opening signal sent by the second switch unit K2, it sends a clothes drying machine lowering command or an ascending command to the clothes drying machine host accordingly, so that the clothes drying machine rod descends or ascends; when the main control unit receives an opening signal or a closing signal sent by the second switch unit K2, it sends a clothes drying machine ascending command or a descending command to the clothes drying machine host accordingly, so that the clothes drying machine rod ascends or descends.

[0046] Specifically, after receiving the closing signal sent by the second switch unit K2, the main control unit sends a clothes drying machine descending instruction to the main controller in the clothes drying machine host through the wireless communication module, thereby controlling the clothes drying machine rod to descend. Alternatively, after receiving the closing signal sent by the second switch unit K2, the main control unit sends a clothes drying machine ascending instruction to the main controller in the clothes drying machine host through the wireless communication module, thereby controlling the clothes drying machine rod to ascend.

[0047] In one embodiment, the linkage method further includes: when the clothes drying machine host is disconnected from the main power supply and powered by the power storage unit, the main controller in the clothes drying machine host controls the clothes drying rod to rise through the clothes drying rod power system.

[0048] The clothes drying machine host is disconnected from the mains power, that is, the first switch unit K1 is in an open circuit state, and the clothes drying machine host is powered by the power storage unit, so that in the power off state, the main controller in the clothes drying machine host controls the rising of the clothes drying rod through the clothes drying rod power system, keeps the clothes drying rod in a high position, and does not hinder the user's activities on the balcony.

[0049] In one embodiment, the linkage method also includes: after the main control unit is powered on, light intensity information sent by the light intensity sensor is obtained in real time, and whether the light intensity is lower than a preset value is determined based on the light intensity information. If so, the lighting circuit is controlled by a switch element to connect to the mains to start the lighting function.

[0050] The main control unit presets a preset light intensity value, compares the light intensity information obtained by the light intensity sensor with the preset value, and when the light intensity information is lower than the preset value, controls the lighting circuit to be turned on through the relay and starts the lighting function.

[0051] The switch linkage method may also include automatically switching the lighting circuit according to the balcony light intensity or preset time to create a comfortable lighting environment. When the clothes drying rod is raised and the outside light is insufficient, the lighting lamp automatically lights up, otherwise it turns off, achieving the dual effects of energy saving and convenience. The light intensity can be sensed based on the photodiode as a sensor, and then the corresponding settings are made. Or it can be set so that the lifting and lowering of the clothes drying rod and the lighting circuit switch form an intelligent linkage. When the clothes drying rod is lowered, the lighting lamp automatically turns on the lighting; after the clothes drying rod is raised, the lighting lamp is turned off with a delay to ensure that the user can still enjoy enough light after completing the clothes drying action, and then automatically turns off to save energy.

[0052] Lighting lamps include not only lighting, but also atmosphere creation. Atmosphere lamps can include warm yellow constant light mode, rainbow flashing mode, blue constant light mode and red constant light mode. Warm yellow constant light mode is used for reading, drinking tea or spending time with family. Rainbow flashing mode adds a joyful atmosphere to parties or celebrations, and colorful lights jump on the balcony, as if in a dream world. Blue constant light mode is suitable for use when you need to think calmly or relax your mood. It can make people feel peaceful and relaxed, as if they are in the deep ocean. Red constant light mode is suitable for use when passion is needed or special days are celebrated. It can inspire people's enthusiasm and vitality, making the entire balcony full of festive and warm atmosphere. Red and blue light can also supplement the light for plants. In order to further enhance the user experience, the lighting lamp can also be equipped with a music playback function. Users can use different lighting modes to match the rhythm and atmosphere of the music while enjoying music on the balcony. For example, when playing soft music, the lighting lamp can switch to blue constant light mode to create a peaceful atmosphere; when playing fast-paced music, the lighting lamp can switch to rainbow flashing mode to add dynamics to the music. In order to better protect the user's eye health, the lighting can also be equipped with an eye protection mode. In this mode, the flickering and blue light radiation of the light will be effectively reduced, reducing the stimulation to the eyes. The eye protection mode is especially suitable for people who read or work on the balcony for a long time.

[0053] In addition, green light can be added on the basis of red light and blue light. Through this combination, a sunlight-like effect can be modulated. The specific method is as follows: First, a scene library needs to be set in advance, which stores images in various scenes. Then, the scene image of the current balcony is obtained and compared with the image stored in the scene library. By comparison, the image in the library with the greatest similarity to the current scene image can be determined and used as the target image. Next, the color temperature of the lighting lamp can be adjusted according to the preset correspondence between the target image and the color temperature. In this way, the color temperature can be adjusted according to the user's adaptability to the balcony scene image, thereby reducing the possibility of the user's unclear vision or irritation of the eyes by the lighting in different scenes. In this way, the user's comfort can be effectively improved. The design of the lighting lamp is not limited to these modes, but can also achieve a variety of lighting combinations and changes through intelligent control. Users can adjust the brightness, color and flashing frequency of the light through mobile phone applications or voice assistants, and can even set a timer switch to automatically turn on or off the light at a specific time, bringing more convenience and comfort to life. The design of the lighting lamp is not only for lighting, but also for improving the quality of life. Through clever design and intelligent control, lighting can become an indispensable part of home life, bringing people a warm, joyful, peaceful and passionate atmosphere. Finally, the lighting can also be equipped with an environmental monitoring function to monitor the temperature, humidity and air quality of the balcony in real time. When the environmental parameters exceed the preset safety range, the lighting will remind the user through the mobile phone application and automatically adjust the lighting mode to adapt to the current environmental conditions. For example, when the air quality is poor, the lighting can switch to red light mode to improve the air quality through the bactericidal properties of red light. With the expansion of these intelligent functions, the lighting can not only meet basic lighting needs, but also provide users with a more comfortable, convenient and healthy use experience.

[0054] In addition to light sensors, this switch linkage method can also set temperature and humidity sensors to monitor the balcony environment in real time, and automatically adjust the brightness of the lighting and the working mode of the clothes drying machine according to environmental changes. For example, when the humidity is high and the humidity is lower than the set value, the air drying or / and drying mode can be turned on, and the built-in fan accelerates air circulation and heating of the heating tube to improve the drying efficiency, especially in the humid rainy season, which can effectively shorten the time for clothes to dry; if the temperature is low, when the temperature is lower than the set value, the clothes drying machine will automatically start the heating function within a quarter of an hour before the user goes out, ensuring that the clothes will not become cold and stiff due to the low temperature during the drying process. The AI ​​algorithm can also learn the user's daily usage habits, such as clothes drying time and preferred brightness, and gradually optimize the switch linkage logic to provide a more personalized service experience.

[0055] The switch linkage method also has a safety protection design. The clothes dryer and lighting are equipped with overload protection devices to prevent circuit damage or safety hazards caused by long-term operation or abnormal operation. It is also possible to consider equipping a child lock to prevent accidental injuries caused by children's misoperation and ensure family safety, such as preventing children from accidentally hanging on the clothes dryer's drying rod or balcony fence to prevent children from getting stuck. The implementation method can obtain information through an image acquisition module or an infrared sensor.

[0056] The switch linkage method also includes convenient operation and supports remote control via mobile phone APP. Users can check the status of the lights and clothes drying machine at any time and perform switch operations no matter where they are, which greatly improves the convenience of use.
