[0098] (2) The blocking rod has a rotation angle of less than 180° and can be driven by a servo. Its length is 7-10 mm less than the sum of the distance from the servo rotation axis to the square hole wall of the clothing plate and half the width of ordinary clothing;
[0099] (3) The moving trajectory of the sweeping rod is a straight line, and the same driving method as step 3 can be used. The length is adapted to the distance between the two screws, and the position of the rotating axis of the blocking rod is roughly in the middle position after the clothes fall;
[0100] (4) The folding plate rotates at an angle of about 90°. The same driving method as in step 3 can be used. The folding plate is combined with the rotating guide and the retaining frame to avoid self-locking. The width of the folding plate is 5 mm smaller than the width of the square hole of the clothing plate, and the length is 3 mm smaller than half the length of the square hole. The folding plate rotates;
[0101] Step 5: Design the smart wardrobe workflow, which includes:
[0102] (1) When the ironing frame moves downward, the water pump starts to work, and at the end of the stroke, the water pump stops working and the air pump starts working, and the ironing frame returns to its initial position from the bottom;
[0103] (2) When the screw motor is working, it drives the hanger to move horizontally;
[0104] (3) The left and right hanger lever servos work to fold the clothes for the first time;
[0105] (4) The reduction motor pulls up the wooden board, and the clothes gradually lean against the clothing board;
[0106] (5) The servo of the clothes hanger pitch box works to put down the clothes; the reduction motor reverses to put down the wooden board;
[0107] (6) The blocking rod clamps the clothes;
[0108] (7) The sweeping rod movement drives the lower end of the clothes to be folded twice along the blocking rod;
[0109] (8) The blocking rod is reversed to prepare for putting down the clothes;
[0110] (9) The folding rack moves to put down the clothes; the smart wardrobe completes the various actions of ironing, transition, and stacking;
[0111] Step 6: Design the overall drive control core system of the smart wardrobe; Design the control core system. The overall operation control of the wardrobe requires multiple servos and motors to control together. The control of the servos and motors requires the core board to output PWM and control the direction, multiple PWM line interfaces and direction interfaces, draw the PCB board, select the appropriate model of servos, stepper motors, reduction motors and design the conversion system;
[0112] Step 7: Design modular control functions that can be expanded and added to the smart wardrobe; design expansion functions that can add modular functions such as display screens, visual recognition, and voice recognition;
[0113] The parts in step 2, step 3 and step 4 are made by 3D printing, and the joints are connected by bolts and nuts.
[0114] The working process principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0115] 1. The ironing module on the left side of the wardrobe uses stainless steel corners to connect the wooden board to place the relevant motors, drive boards, and screw diamond seats responsible for transmission. The ironing frame 305 is equipped with water pump and air pump pipelines, and the water outlets 306 or air outlets 307 on the ironing frame 305 are arranged alternately. After welding to change the circuit, the power supply circuit of the water pump and air pump is connected to the single-pole switch, and the single-pole switch can be used to control the on and off of the circuit. Ironing module components such as Figure 3 The wooden boards installed around the ironing rack are shown to prevent water from the water pump from spraying onto the motor driver board and the STM32 core board. The circuit diagram of the ironing part is shown in Fig.18 As shown, the driving device of the entire ironing part is a 42 stepper motor.
[0116] When the ironing rack 305 moves downward, the ironing rack 305 drives the collision block to hit the single-pole switch controlling the water pump, so that the water pump starts working. When it reaches the end position of the stroke, it hits another single-pole switch controlling the water pump, and then the water pump stops working. As for the working condition of the air pump, the ironing rack 305 stops working when it moves downward, and starts working when it moves upward. The size and shape of the ironing rack 305 are fixed, and three switches are required for control. When it moves downward, the main single-pole switch is closed, and the initial state of the two branch switches is one closed and one open. The closed switch is placed directly below the main switch. After the ironing rack 305 passes, this switch is opened. At this time, no current passes through the air pump, so it stops working. After the ironing rack 305 is moved to the extreme position, another control switch of the air pump is closed, so that the air pump works. When the ironing rack 305 returns from the bottom to the upper part of the initial position, the main switch is opened, and the air pump stops working.
[0117] 2. The upper part of the wardrobe is connected by bolts, screws and nuts to fix the lead screw bracket. The hanger connecting plate and other parts are installed on the lead screw slider. A hanger is hung below. When the lead screw motor works, it drives the hanger to move horizontally. Figure 5 As shown. The working process here is that the stepper motor 42 rotates forward, driving the lead screw to rotate so that the lead screw slider drives the foldable clothes hanger to move rightward as a whole. There is a through hole above the hook of the clothes hanger, and the clothes hanger and the clothes hanger lead screw slider 403 are fixed together by a pin connection. After the clothes hanger lead screw slider 403 moves to the specified position, the hook stepper motor 401 stops rotating.
[0118] 3. The right side of the wardrobe is the stacking function module, which is also the part with the largest number of wardrobe parts. After the hanger is moved to the designated position, the left hanger rod 407 and the right hanger rod 408 in the hanger are driven by the left hanger rod servo 409 and the right hanger rod servo 410 to rotate 90 degrees at the same time to fold the clothes, which is reflected on the clothes as left and right folds. Fig.15 The left hanger bar servo 409 and the right hanger bar servo 410 of the hanger rotate simultaneously, and the left hanger bar 407 and the right hanger bar 408 are folded 90 degrees, which is reflected on the clothes as folded left and right.
[0119] 4. The motor for lifting the clothes board 506 works, and the clothes board 506 is pulled up to a certain angle, so that the clothes gradually come into contact with the clothes board 506 and finally lie flat on the clothes board 506. Figure 7 In order to lift the wooden board and increase the friction, a layer of hemp rope is first wound, and then the steel wire rope 505 is wound on top. The clothing board 506 can be pulled up to a certain angle by rotation, and the clothes gradually contact the clothing board 506 and finally lay flat on the clothing board 506.
[0120] 5. Then the third pitch box servo 411 of the hanger starts to work and rotates 90 degrees to put the clothes down. The clothes fall on the clothes plate 506 and are pulled up. There is still a height difference between the highest point of the clothes plate 506 and the lowest point of the hanger after rotation, so there will be no interference. Moreover, the friction between the clothes plate 506 and the clothes is large enough so that the clothes will not slide away. Fig.13 Screenshots showing where this workflow begins and ends. Figure 6 The outward extension of the clothes hanger pitch box 406 is connected to the steering plate of the pitch box servo 411 by bolts and nuts, and the clothes hanger pitch box 406 rotates with the rotation of the pitch box servo 411.
[0121] 6. Then, lift the reduction motor 501 of the clothing board 506 and rotate it in the opposite direction, and put the clothing board 506 back to its original position. Figure 7 .
[0122] 7. Then the blocking rod servo 512 works, and the blocking rod 511 rotates 90 degrees and is stuck in the middle of the clothes, corresponding to the half sleeve, roughly at the ribs. Fig.16 shown.
[0123] 8. The two sweeping rod stepping motors 507 on the clothing plate 506 work, driving the sweeping rod 510 to move, and the sweeping rod 510 ends at the designated position without interference with the blocking rod 511. The sweeping rod 510 is above the blocking rod 511, and the sweeping rod 510 is close to the lower end of the clothing. When working, the clothing is driven to be folded in half about the blocking rod 511, a total of two folds, and the folding process is completed. Fig.17 This is a working diagram at the end of the movement.
[0124] 9. Finally, the folding frame servo 516 works, driving the rotating guide 514 to rotate, and then the folding plate 513 rotates, and the clothes fall to the bottom, and the working process ends.
[0125] The present invention is composed of a cabinet, a drawer, an ironing unit, a folding hanger unit and a stacking unit. The folding hanger unit is arranged on the top of the cabinet, the ironing unit is installed on the side of the cabinet in the vertical direction, the stacking unit is installed on the side opposite to the ironing unit, and the drawer is installed on the bottom of the cabinet. The ironing unit is used for ironing clothes, and the folding hanger unit and the stacking unit cooperate with each other to flip and fold the clothes. The intelligent degree is high, and the clothes at high places can be taken and put conveniently and quickly.
[0126] The present invention first irons the clothes on the hanger through the ironing unit, and the two hanger rods rotate 90 degrees at the same time to fold the clothes left and right. The clothes are pulled up by rotating the clothes plate, and the clothes gradually come into contact with the clothes plate and finally laid flat on the clothes plate. Then the pitch box servo on the hanger hook starts to work, rotates 90 degrees to put the clothes down, and the clothes fall on the clothes plate. Then the motor that lifts the clothes plate rotates in the opposite direction, puts the clothes plate back to the original position, and the blocking rod rotates 90 degrees. The blocking rod is stuck in the middle of the clothes, and the sweeping rod moves to fold the clothes again, and the folding process ends. Finally, the folding frame servo works to drive the folding plate to rotate, and the clothes fall into the drawer below, and the work process ends.
[0127] Other components and connection relationships are the same as those in the first specific implementation mode.
