Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothes drying rack technology, and more specifically, to a clothes drying rack and its device and control method that simulates sunlight drying. Background Technology

[0002] Natural drying of clothes is greatly affected by the environment. Damp, rainy weather and sandstorms are unsuitable for air-drying, and sun drying requires clear skies. Furthermore, with societal development and urbanization, housing conditions may only offer enclosed balconies or none at all, or some people may choose to live in homes with enclosed balconies. Consequently, clothes cannot receive sunlight, or the time or opportunity for sunlight exposure is reduced. Existing technology includes heat pump dryers, but these are unsuitable for thick or delicate fabrics. Some electric clothes dryers have drying functions, but their drying effect is significantly different from natural drying, and they consume more electricity, limiting their widespread application. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application addresses the shortcomings of existing methods by proposing a clothes drying machine and its simulated sunlight drying device and control method to solve the technical problem of poor drying effect in related technologies.

[0004] Firstly, a device simulating sun drying is provided, comprising:

[0005] substrate;

[0006] An outer guide plate is connected to the longitudinal edge of the substrate. An air guide is formed in the first segment outside the vertical projection area of ​​the substrate, and a light guide is formed in the second segment inside the vertical projection area of ​​the substrate.

[0007] An inner guide plate is connected to the lower part of the substrate, and a gap is provided between the lower edge of the inner guide plate and the edge of the second segment to serve as an air outlet.

[0008] An adapter plate is connected at the position where the second segment overlaps with the inner guide plate;

[0009] The lighting assembly includes a multi-wavelength lamp core, which is connected to the adapter plate and faces the light guide port.

[0010] The fan is mounted on the inner side of the inner guide plate and forms an air duct with the inner side wall of the inner guide plate.

[0011] Alternatively, the first segment may be provided with an air vent.

[0012] Alternatively, the light guides of the second segment are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the substrate, and at least one side of the second segment is configured as a curved surface to concentrate light.

[0013] Furthermore, the adapter plate is connected to the inner guide plate by bolts, and the adapter plate is connected to the second segment by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0014] Alternatively, the illumination component includes a lamp core that emits at least one of the following wavelengths: near-infrared, UVA, UVB, UVC, and far-infrared.

[0015] Furthermore, an ozone generator is installed at the air outlet; an ozone reducer is installed inside the air duct.

[0016] Alternatively, at least one of the fans may be coaxially mounted on the inner guide plate.

[0017] Secondly, a clothes drying rack is provided, comprising a main unit, characterized in that the main unit is equipped with a simulated sunlight drying device as described above.

[0018] Thirdly, a method for controlling simulated sun drying is provided, wherein the simulated sun drying device as described above is used, or a clothes drying machine as described above is used. The method includes the following steps:

[0019] Set the drying time;

[0020] The disinfection mode is set to activate at the beginning and end of the drying time.

[0021] The entire drying time is controlled by activating both heating and blowing modes.

[0022] Optionally, the disinfection mode includes activating the ultraviolet lamp core and / or ozone generator in the light irradiation component; the heating mode includes activating the far-infrared lamp core and / or near-infrared lamp core in the light irradiation component; and the blowing mode includes activating the fan.

[0023] Furthermore, when the heating mode and / or blowing mode are activated, the remaining drying time is periodically predicted based on the intensity of infrared light emitted or reflected by the clothes being dried. If the remaining drying time is less than the remaining time of the current drying time, the remaining time is replaced with the remaining drying time. If the remaining drying time is greater than the remaining time of the current drying time, the intensity of the heating mode and / or blowing mode is adjusted so that the remaining drying time predicted in the next cycle is not greater than the remaining time of the current drying time.

[0024] The beneficial technical effects of the technical solutions provided in this application include:

[0025] (1) The device for simulating sunlight drying in this application is equipped with a light-emitting component including lamp cores with multiple wavelengths. It can configure lamp cores that have a positive effect on the drying effect according to the composition of sunlight. Furthermore, the layout area of ​​the light-emitting component is large, resulting in a large lighting area, uniform light, and a lighting effect close to natural conditions.

[0026] (2) The device for simulating sun drying in this application has an outer guide plate set on the outer side of the substrate, which increases the number and size of the air inlets, expands the air intake, and improves the blowing effect of the blowing mode. The blowing mode can not only increase the air flow around the drying object, but also dissipate heat for the light component, and concentrate ozone to blow onto the drying object. In strong winds, it can also help fluff the drying object, making the drying effect closer to the drying effect under outdoor sunlight.

[0027] Additional aspects and advantages of this application will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and will become apparent from the description or may be learned by practice of this application. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary descriptions for explaining the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.

[0034] Those skilled in the art will understand that, unless specifically stated otherwise, the terms "described" and "the" as used herein may also include plural forms. It should be further understood that the term "comprising" as used in the specification of this application means the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, and / or components, but does not exclude implementations of other features, information, data, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof supported by the art. The term "and / or" as used herein refers to at least one of the items defined by the term; for example, "A and / or B" can be implemented as "A," or as "B," or as "A and B."

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] refer to Figures 1-4 The simulated sunlight drying device of this application includes a substrate 1, an outer guide plate 2, an inner guide plate 3, a connecting plate 4, a light-emitting component 5, and a fan 6, specifically:

[0037] The substrate 1 serves as a mounting surface for other components and facilitates assembly into an integrated structure for mounting on the main unit. In this embodiment, the lateral dimension of the substrate 1 matches the lateral dimension of the side of the main unit facing the drying object, allowing for the utilization of the two side edges of the main unit. The longitudinal dimension of the substrate 1 is based on the longitudinal length of the fan 6. If the assembly space allows for the coaxial side-by-side installation of more than one fan 6, the longitudinal dimension of the substrate 1 can be configured according to the side-by-side length of multiple fans 6. In this embodiment, the substrate 1 is provided with a flange 11 on its longitudinal edge to facilitate the installation of the outer guide plate 2. The substrate 1 body has several through holes for use as positioning structures to assemble other components.

[0038] The outer guide plate 2 is connected to the longitudinal edge of the substrate 1. Specifically, the upper edge of the outer guide plate 2 can be bolted to the flange 11 of the longitudinal edge of the substrate 1. In this embodiment, the outer guide plate 2 includes a first segment 21 and a second segment 22 connected together.

[0039] The first segment 21 is installed outside the vertical projection area of ​​the substrate 1. The uppermost edge of the first segment 21 is bolted to the flange 11 of the longitudinal edge of the substrate 1. The first segment 21 has an air vent 211. After the first segment 21 is installed to the host through the substrate 1, the air vent 211 should not be blocked. One possible implementation is that the substrate 1 is installed on the edge of the host and the first segment 21 extends beyond the edge of the host. In this case, air vents 211 can be provided on each surface of the first segment 21. Alternatively, the substrate 1 is installed on the edge of the host, and the first segment 21 is still within the vertical projection plane of the host, but the vertical distance between the first segment 21 and the host is large enough so that the air vent 211 facing the host can be ventilated. In this case, air vents 211 can be provided on each surface of the first segment 21. Or, the substrate 1 is installed on the edge of the host, and the first segment 21 is within the vertical projection plane of the host. The vertical distance between the first segment 21 and the host is small, and there is no area close to the host where air vents 211 are provided. The body of the first segment 21 forms an air guide 211 by opening a structure in the form of a fence, a mesh, a louver, or a slot. Setting air guides 211 on multiple surfaces helps to increase the airflow and improve the wind speed.

[0040] The second segment 22 extends integrally with the end of the first segment 21 into the vertical projection area of ​​the substrate 1, and a light guide 221 is formed in the second segment 22. Furthermore, a light-emitting component 5 is provided inside the second segment 22. The light waves emitted by the light-emitting component 5 pass through the light guide 221 and converge below the substrate 1. Preferably, the light guide 221 of the second segment 22 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the substrate 1. Correspondingly, the light-emitting component 5 includes a lamp core 51 capable of emitting multiple wavelengths: near-infrared, UVA, UVB, UVC, and far-infrared rays. These components correspond to the composition of sunlight. In the solar radiation reaching the ground, infrared radiation has the highest energy, accounting for approximately 50-70%, followed by visible light, accounting for approximately 46-30%, and ultraviolet radiation has the lowest, accounting for only 4-0.1%. Visible light has no significant effect on drying clothes. While the light emitted by the illumination component 5 is outside the visible light range, it has a positive effect on drying. For example, near-infrared and far-infrared rays can heat the clothes, promoting the evaporation of moisture from their surface. Various ultraviolet rays can sterilize and deodorize, preventing unpleasant odors from developing. The light guide 221 of the second segment 22 can be implemented as a through hole facing the lamp core 51, or as a grille, mesh, or slot. Furthermore, at least one side of the second segment 22 is also configured as a curved surface 222, and the surface of the curved surface 222 is coated with a reflective material, which can appropriately concentrate the light and improve the illumination effect.

[0041] The inner guide plate 3 is connected to the lower part of the base plate 1 and is generally parallel to the outer guide plate 2. A cavity is formed between the inner guide plate 3, the base plate 1, and the outer guide plate 2. This cavity is used to assemble the fan 6, and the fan 6 and the inner wall of the inner guide plate 3 form an air duct 7. Further, a gap is provided between the lower edge of the inner guide plate 3 and the edge of the second segment 22, which serves as the air outlet 31 of the air duct 7. Preferably, the inner guide plate 3 has a guide surface 32 that conforms to hydrodynamics. The outer side of the inner guide plate 3 is provided with multiple stiffening ribs 33 to assist in forming the guide surface 32. A protective layer 34 is also provided on the outer side of the guide surface 32. The inner guide plate 3 is also provided with a sealing structure 35 perpendicular to the axis of the fan 6 at the installation position of the fan 6, which is used to fix the rotating shaft 61 of the fan 6.

[0042] When the fan 6 rotates, it blows the air in the air duct 7 out of the air outlet 31, thereby creating a negative pressure in the air duct 7. Due to the negative pressure in the air duct 7, the external air can enter the air duct 7 through the air guide 211. Furthermore, by setting functional modules on the air duct 7, the air flowing through the air duct 7 can be processed.

[0043] In one embodiment, an ozone generator 71 with an electrode gap is provided at the air outlet 31. The ozone generator 71 utilizes oxygen (O2) in the air duct 7 and guides the oxygen to an ionization chamber, which is typically an electrode gap. Within this space, an ionization source (such as an ultraviolet lamp or corona discharge device) provides sufficient energy to decompose oxygen molecules into individual oxygen atoms (O) and oxygen molecules (O2, but here the ionization process should be understood as oxygen molecules being decomposed into free oxygen atoms O and remaining oxygen molecules O2). The free oxygen atoms (O) generated during ionization combine with undecomposed oxygen molecules (O2) to form ozone molecules (O3). This process can be represented by the chemical equation: O + O2 → O3. The generated ozone is released into the air and transported to the area requiring treatment by the fan 6. In this embodiment, clothes hung or placed below the air outlet 31 are treated with ozone.

[0044] Furthermore, an ozone reducer 72 is also installed inside the air duct 7. Ozone is an unstable chemical component that decomposes naturally. However, ozone has strong oxidizing properties, so the concentration, range, and duration of ozone's effect need to be controlled. Therefore, the residual ozone after processing the dried goods needs to be removed to avoid adverse effects on the human body, items or equipment that are not tolerant of strong oxidation. One possible way to achieve this is to contact the ozone with a strong reducing agent to consume it. Using chemical methods to remove ozone has the advantage of low power consumption. Another method is to reduce the concentration of ozone in the air through adsorption. Using physical methods to remove ozone also has the advantage of low power consumption. In this embodiment, the ozone reducer 72 is located in the air duct 7 near the air guide 211 and can be fixed to the inner wall of the first segment 21. The ozone reducer 72 includes a filter screen made of aluminum-zinc alloy and a reducing layer containing manganese dioxide. After reacting with ozone, the aluminum-zinc alloy forms an oxide layer on its surface. The aluminum-zinc alloy acts as an ozone adsorption medium, and the resulting oxide layer serves as a protective layer 34 for the filter surface. Manganese dioxide, a metal oxide with strong reducing properties, promotes the reduction of ozone to oxygen. When air enters the duct 7 through the air vent 211, it first comes into contact with the ozone reducer 72. The ozone reducer 72 reduces ozone or other oxidizing substances in the air to achieve harmlessness. When the reduced air flows through the air outlet 31, it comes into contact with the ozone generator 71, causing oxygen to be converted into ozone, and the newly generated ozone is transported below the air outlet 31. The ozone generator 71 can be activated as needed, operating only during periods when ozone disinfection is required.

[0045] The fan 6 can not only deliver ozone, but also deliver heat. When the far-infrared lamp and near-infrared lamp are turned on, they can heat the air near the lamp core 51. The fan 6 can guide the heated air near the air outlet 31 to the bottom to heat the air below. The strong wind generated by the fan 6 can also shake the clothes being dried, which can not only accelerate the air circulation on the surface of the clothes and promote the exchange of ozone and heat, but also loosen the clothes being dried appropriately.

[0046] Furthermore, the light-emitting component 5 is installed via an adapter plate 4, which connects to the overlapping position of the second segment 22 and the inner guide plate 3. In this embodiment, the adapter plate 4 and the inner guide plate 3 are fixedly connected, which can be done by bolts. The adapter plate 4 and the second segment 22 are detachably connected, which can be done by setting a snap-fit ​​structure for reversible interconnection. A space for installing the light-emitting component 5 is formed between the adapter plate and the second segment 22, allowing the light waves of the light-emitting component 5 to pass through the second segment 22 to irradiate the clothes drying below. The aforementioned snap-fit ​​structure can be configured with a slot 41 on the lower surface of the adapter plate 4 and a clip 223 on the upper surface of the second segment 22. The clip 223 can be fixed by deforming into the slot 41, and can also be separated by deforming out of the slot 41 under external force. This connection method ensures the stability of the lighting component 5 assembly and prevents the installation position of the lighting component 5 from easily becoming loose. On the other hand, it facilitates the replacement of the lighting component 5. The aforementioned lamp core 51, which can emit various wavelengths, is a consumable. It will wear out after a certain period of use and needs to be replaced. The assembly structure shown in this embodiment only requires separating the second segment 22 from the adapter plate 4 to expose the lighting component 5 for replacement. Alternatively, the entire outer guide plate 2 can be removed to clean the outer guide plate 2 and reduce the dust and dirt adhering to the surface of the outer guide plate 2.

[0047] The simulated sunlight drying device of this application can form multiple working modes through the cooperation of various functional modules:

[0048] Disinfection mode, which activates at least one of the following operating modes: ultraviolet lamp core 51 (producing UVA, UVB, and UVC ultraviolet light) in the light assembly 5 and ozone generator 71.

[0049] In heating mode, at least one of the far-infrared lamp cores 51 and near-infrared lamp cores 51 in the illumination component 5 is activated.

[0050] Blowing mode, activates the working mode of fan 6.

[0051] Based on the simulated sunlight drying device and the electric clothes drying machine using the device, this application also provides a control method for simulated sunlight drying, including the following steps:

[0052] Set the drying time;

[0053] The disinfection mode is set to activate at the beginning and end of the drying time.

[0054] The entire drying time is controlled by activating both heating and blowing modes.

[0055] The drying time refers to the duration of time required to use the simulated sunlight drying device described in this application, and does not refer to the total time the clothes are on the drying machine. To further achieve the simulated sunlight drying effect, the drying time is set to no more than 8 hours, which can both simulate the duration of sun exposure and control power consumption. The built-in timing module is used to set the start time, initial time, end time, and final time of the drying time, so as to confirm the start point of each of the aforementioned working modes.

[0056] In this embodiment, the start time of the drying time can be manually set, or it can be set after the clothes dryer senses the load. The initial timing is set to 20-30 minutes after the start time, and the corresponding final timing is set to 20-30 minutes before the end time. Setting the initial and final timings in this way is equivalent to setting the working duration of the disinfection mode. Based on common knowledge, a concentration of 30 mg / m³ is used. 3 The ozone concentration, after 15 minutes of action, achieves a kill rate of over 90% against natural bacteria. Considering the actual application scenario of this application, the ozone action time can be appropriately extended, and the working time of the disinfection mode can be adjusted according to the usage environment of the clothes drying rack and the power of the ozone generator 71.

[0057] Furthermore, the coordination between the heating mode and the blowing mode can affect the drying time. For example, when the heating mode and / or blowing mode are activated, the remaining drying time can be predicted periodically based on the intensity of infrared light emitted or reflected by the clothes being dried. The intensity of infrared light emitted or reflected by the surface of the clothes is related to their humidity, allowing for the determination of the moisture content. This, combined with the efficiency of the current heating and / or blowing modes, can then be used to predict the remaining drying time. If the predicted remaining drying time is less than the remaining time of the current drying time, the remaining time is replaced with the remaining drying time, which helps to shorten the total drying time. If the predicted remaining drying time is greater than the remaining time of the current drying time, the intensity of the heating and / or blowing modes is adjusted so that the predicted remaining drying time in the next cycle is not greater than the remaining time of the current drying time, ensuring that the total drying time does not exceed the total drying time. The heating mode can be adjusted by controlling the number of far-infrared lamp cores 51 and near-infrared lamp cores 51, and can also be combined with the blowing mode; the blowing mode can be controlled by adjusting the speed of the fan 6. Through the above control methods, power consumption can be saved as much as possible, and prolonged heating and blowing on the clothes to avoid adverse effects on the clothes.

[0058] The simulated sunlight drying device of this application is preferably used in conjunction with an electric clothes dryer. In other implementations, it can also be installed in washing machines, dryers, or other equipment with drying functions. When the simulated sunlight drying device of this application is installed in a washing machine or dryer, the specific structures of the outer guide plate 2, the inner guide plate 3, and the fan 6 used can be reasonably adjusted without affecting the inventive essence of this application.

[0059] The electric clothes drying rack applicable to the embodiments of this application includes a main unit and drying components. The main unit controls the extension and retraction of the drying components. The drying components are functionally differentiated according to the main items to be dried, including a main drying rack, a telescopic quilt drying rod, and an electric telescopic rack. In addition to extending and retracting the drying components, the main unit is also equipped with modules related to clothing drying, one of which is the simulated sunlight drying device of this application. One possible implementation is that the simulated sunlight drying device of this application is mounted on the lower surface of the main unit, directly facing the drying components. When activated, a drying timer starts.

[0060] In summary, this application provides a device for simulating sun drying, comprising: a substrate; an outer guide plate connected to the longitudinal edge of the substrate, with an air guide opening in a first segment outside the vertical projection area of ​​the substrate and a light guide opening in a second segment inside the vertical projection area of ​​the substrate; an inner guide plate connected to the lower part of the substrate, with a gap between the lower edge of the inner guide plate and the edge of the second segment serving as an air outlet; a connecting plate connected at the intersection of the second segment and the inner guide plate; a light-emitting component including multi-wavelength lamp cores, connected to the connecting plate and facing the light guide opening; and a fan mounted on the inner side of the inner guide plate, forming an air duct with the inner wall of the inner guide plate. Furthermore, this application also provides a control method for simulating sun drying, comprising the following steps: setting a drying time; setting a disinfection mode to start at the beginning and end of the drying time; and activating a heating mode and a blowing mode throughout the entire drying time. The simulated sunlight drying device of this application is equipped with a light-emitting component including multi-wavelength lamp cores. It can select lamp cores that have a positive effect on the drying effect according to the composition of sunlight. Furthermore, the light-emitting component has a large layout area, resulting in a large lighting area, uniform light, and a lighting effect close to natural conditions.
