[0002] With the improvement of living standards and changes in family lifestyles, people's demand for convenient and efficient home appliances is gradually increasing. As a solution for quickly drying clothes, clothes dryers can save a lot of time and space compared to traditional drying methods, thus becoming more and more popular among consumers.

[0003] Current clothes dryers come with multiple pre-set modes, including standard, quick-dry, and gentle. Each mode provides the same drying effect. However, in practice, the same drying effect can have different consequences under different environmental conditions. For example, when the humidity of clothes after drying is lower than the ambient humidity, the clothes absorb moisture from the environment, causing the humidity of the clothes to approach the ambient humidity. Conversely, if the ambient humidity is too high, clothes of normal dryness cannot be stored for long periods of time. Therefore, how to adapt dried clothes to the environment in which the dryer is located is an urgent problem that researchers in this field need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The following describes in detail the clothes dryer control method, device, equipment and medium based on ambient humidity provided by the embodiments of the present application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a clothes dryer control method based on ambient humidity provided in the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0031] S101, obtaining ambient humidity data of the clothes dryer;

[0032] First, this application is applicable to scenarios where users use a clothes dryer to dry clothes. Based on the above usage scenario, it can be understood that the execution entity of this application can be a main control PC (Printed Circuit) board. Specifically, the main control PC board can be responsible for determining the target humidity parameter, determining the execution parameter, and executing the drying process. The humidity of the clothes after drying is adapted to the environment of the clothes dryer, that is, the environment of the user.

[0033] The main control PC board is a circuit board used to control and manage the various functions and operations of a device or system. It is typically a core component of the device, responsible for controlling and coordinating the entire system. Specifically, in this solution, the main control PC board controls and manages the execution of each drying operation within the drying process. The drying process involves the dryer generating hot air that fully contacts the clothes being dried, accelerating the drying process.

[0034] A clothes dryer is a household appliance that uses electric heating technology to instantly evaporate moisture from clothes to be dried. It typically includes a heating system, a fan system, a drum system, and a humidity control system. The clothes to be dried can be clothes that have been washed and still have a lot of moisture in them.

[0035] Ambient humidity data may refer to the relative humidity of the air surrounding the clothes dryer, specifically, the ratio of the water vapor pressure in the air to the saturated water vapor pressure. The clothes dryer's ambient humidity data may be obtained by using a humidity sensor located at the dryer's air inlet. Alternatively, the dryer's geographic location may be obtained and the ambient humidity data may be determined based on meteorological data related to the geographic location.

[0036] S102, determining a target humidity parameter according to the ambient humidity data;

[0037] The target humidity parameter may refer to the relative humidity that the air environment inside the dryer needs to reach for the current laundry to be dried, indicating that the laundry in the dryer has been dried completely. The target humidity parameter may be determined by identifying whether the ambient humidity data exceeds a first preset humidity threshold. If so, the target humidity parameter is determined based on the ambient humidity data and the first preset humidity threshold. If not, the ambient humidity data is determined as the target humidity parameter.

[0038] S103, determining execution parameters of the clothes dryer according to the ambient humidity data and the target humidity parameter; wherein the execution parameters include heating power parameters;

[0039] The execution parameters of the clothes dryer may be parameters used to describe the working state of the clothes dryer when performing a drying process, and may include heating power parameters, dehumidification power parameters, dust removal power parameters, and the like.

[0040] The heating power parameter may refer to the working power of the heating device in the clothes dryer. The heating power parameter may be determined by obtaining the temperature data of the current environment and obtaining the preset drying time and target temperature parameter of the drying process, determining the absolute humidity of the current environment based on the temperature data of the current environment and the ambient humidity data, determining the absolute humidity corresponding to the target humidity parameter based on the target temperature parameter and the target temperature parameter, calculating the difference between the absolute humidity of the current environment and the absolute humidity corresponding to the target humidity parameter as the amount of water removed, multiplying the amount of water removed by the latent heat of vaporization coefficient and then dividing it by the preset drying time to obtain the heating power parameter. The preset drying time and target temperature parameter may be set by the user or according to the material information of the clothes to be dried; the latent heat of vaporization refers to the heat required to completely convert a certain mass of liquid into gas. For water, the latent heat of vaporization coefficient is approximately 2260 kJ / kg.

[0041] Here is a code example for determining the heating power parameters:

[0078] print(f"Heating power parameter is: {heating_power:.2f} watts")

[0079] S104: Control the clothes dryer to execute a drying process according to the execution parameters.

[0080] The method of controlling the dryer to execute the drying process according to the execution parameters includes: controlling the heating device in the dryer to work according to the heating power parameters and obtaining the humidity data in the dryer in real time, and controlling the heating device in the dryer to stop working when the humidity data in the dryer reaches the target humidity parameters; controlling the dehumidification device to perform the dehumidification operation according to the dehumidification power parameters; and controlling the dust removal device to perform the dust removal operation according to the dust removal power parameters.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, ambient humidity data for a clothes dryer is obtained; a target humidity parameter is determined based on the ambient humidity data; execution parameters for the clothes dryer are determined based on the ambient humidity data and the target humidity parameter; wherein the execution parameters include a heating power parameter; and the clothes dryer is controlled to execute a drying process based on the execution parameters. The above-mentioned ambient humidity-based clothes dryer control method, by determining the target humidity parameter based on the ambient humidity data of the clothes dryer and determining the execution parameters of the clothes dryer based on the ambient humidity data and the target humidity parameter, can adapt the humidity of the clothes after drying to the environment in which the clothes dryer is located, thereby optimizing the user experience and rationalizing the energy consumption of the clothes dryer.

[0082] Example 2

[0083] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a clothes dryer control method based on ambient humidity, provided in Example 2 of the present application. This solution provides a superior improvement over the above-mentioned embodiment, specifically comprising: determining a target humidity parameter based on the ambient humidity data, including: identifying whether the ambient humidity data exceeds a first preset humidity threshold; if it is determined to exceed the first preset humidity threshold, determining the target humidity parameter based on the ambient humidity data and the first preset humidity threshold; if it is determined to not exceed the first preset humidity threshold, determining the ambient humidity data as the target humidity parameter.

[0084] like Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0085] S201, obtaining ambient humidity data of the clothes dryer;

[0086] S202, identifying whether the environmental humidity data exceeds a first preset humidity threshold; if so, executing S203; if not, executing S204;

[0087] If clothes are kept in a high humidity environment for a long time, they may deteriorate, become moldy, stick together, or produce odors. The first preset humidity threshold may be an upper limit of the ambient humidity data indicating that the clothes will not experience the above-mentioned adverse conditions when stored for a long time.

[0088] The ambient humidity data is compared with a first preset humidity threshold. If the ambient humidity data is greater than the first preset humidity threshold, it is identified as the ambient humidity data exceeding the first preset humidity threshold. If the ambient humidity data is less than or equal to the first preset humidity threshold, it is identified as the ambient humidity data not exceeding the first preset humidity threshold.

[0089] In this technical solution, optionally, before identifying whether the ambient humidity data exceeds a first preset humidity threshold, the method further includes:

[0090] Obtain material information of clothes to be dried;

[0091] A first preset humidity threshold is determined according to the material information.

[0092] Material information can be used to describe the type of substance or fiber used to make clothing, and can include cotton, polyester, wool, silk, and so on. Material information can be obtained by having the user manually input or select the material information of the clothing to be dried. Alternatively, image information of the drying clothing can be obtained by capturing and analyzing the image information using image recognition technology. Image recognition technology can be a computer vision technology designed to enable computers to understand and interpret image content. Image recognition technology uses algorithms and models to automatically analyze and identify objects, scenes, patterns, or features in images. The core tasks of image recognition technology generally include object detection, image classification, semantic segmentation, instance segmentation, and feature extraction.

[0093] Different materials react differently to and tolerate moisture, and humidity thresholds can be preset for each material. For example, cotton and synthetic fibers have good moisture absorption, so their corresponding humidity thresholds can be set lower, such as 45%. Wool offers good warmth retention and a certain degree of moisture absorption, so its humidity threshold can be set to 40% to maintain comfort and warmth. Silk, being lightweight and moderately hygroscopic, can have its humidity threshold set to 42%. Due to the diverse composition of mixed materials, the humidity threshold needs to be set based on the specific ingredients and proportions, but is generally set between 40% and 45%.

[0094] By querying the preset humidity threshold corresponding to each piece of material information, the humidity threshold corresponding to the current material information can be determined as the first preset humidity threshold.

[0095] The advantage of this setting is that by determining the first preset humidity threshold based on the material information, it can help to more accurately determine the target humidity of clothes to be dried made of different materials, effectively prevent the target humidity from being too high or too low, causing damage or deterioration of clothes, and provide users with more personalized and intelligent services.

[0096] S203, determining a target humidity parameter according to the ambient humidity data and the first preset humidity threshold;

[0097] If the ambient humidity data exceeds the first preset humidity threshold, it indicates that the dried clothes may deteriorate, become moldy, stick together, or develop odors if left in the current environment for an extended period. Therefore, this solution reduces the likelihood of the dried clothes developing these adverse conditions by determining a target humidity parameter based on the ambient humidity data and the first preset humidity threshold when the ambient humidity data exceeds the first preset humidity threshold. This involves using a target humidity parameter that is lower than the ambient humidity data.

[0098] The target humidity parameter can be determined based on the ambient humidity data and a first preset humidity threshold by calculating a first difference between the ambient humidity data and the first preset humidity threshold, calculating a second difference between the first preset humidity threshold and the target humidity lower limit, and averaging the difference, calculating a ratio of the first difference to the second difference, and then subtracting the product of the first difference and the ratio from the average to obtain the target humidity parameter. The target humidity lower limit can also be set based on material information of the laundry to be dried.

[0099] The following is a code example for determining the target humidity parameter based on the ambient humidity data and the first preset humidity threshold:

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] print(f"The target humidity parameter is: {target_rh:.2f}%")

[0103] S204, determining the environmental humidity data as a target humidity parameter;

[0104] The advantage of this arrangement of the present invention is that, when the ambient humidity data does not exceed the first preset humidity threshold, the ambient humidity data is determined as the target humidity parameter, so that the humidity of the clothes after drying can be adapted to the ambient humidity, thereby avoiding unnecessary energy loss.

[0105] S205, determining execution parameters of the clothes dryer according to the ambient humidity data and the target humidity parameter; wherein the execution parameters include heating power parameters;

[0106] S206: Control the clothes dryer to execute a drying process according to the execution parameters.

[0107] Example 3

[0108] Figure 3This is a flow chart of the method for controlling a clothes dryer based on ambient humidity provided in Example 3 of the present application. This solution makes better improvements to the above-mentioned embodiments, specifically as follows: the execution parameters also include a dehumidification power parameter; accordingly, the execution parameters of the clothes dryer are determined according to the ambient humidity data and the target humidity parameter, including: when the ambient humidity data exceeds a second preset humidity threshold, the dehumidification power parameter is determined according to the ambient humidity data and the second preset humidity threshold; accordingly, the clothes dryer is controlled to execute a drying process according to the execution parameters, including: controlling the dehumidification device to execute a dehumidification operation according to the dehumidification power parameter; wherein the dehumidification device is arranged in the air inlet channel of the clothes dryer.

[0109] like Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0110] S301, obtaining ambient humidity data of the clothes dryer;

[0111] S302, determining a target humidity parameter according to the ambient humidity data;

[0112] S303: When the ambient humidity data exceeds a second preset humidity threshold, determining a dehumidification power parameter according to the ambient humidity data and the second preset humidity threshold;

[0113] If the ambient humidity is too high, it indicates that the air drawn by the dryer and delivered to the drying drum during the drying process has too high a moisture content. This high humidity will directly affect the drying efficiency of the clothes, slowing the drying process and potentially even failing to achieve the desired drying effect. Therefore, dehumidification must be implemented to reduce the humidity of the air delivered to the drying drum, thereby improving drying efficiency. Accordingly, the second preset humidity threshold may be the upper limit of the ambient humidity indicating that dehumidification of the air delivered to the drying drum is not currently necessary.

[0114] The dehumidification power parameter may refer to the operating power of a dehumidifier disposed within the air inlet duct of the clothes dryer. The dehumidification power parameter may be determined based on the ambient humidity data and a second preset humidity threshold. The difference between the ambient humidity data and the second preset humidity threshold may be calculated as the current dehumidified moisture content. The current dehumidification power parameter may be determined based on the current dehumidified moisture content and a pre-established correlation between the dehumidified moisture content and the dehumidification power parameter. The correlation between the dehumidified moisture content and the dehumidification power parameter may be determined based on the operating performance of the dehumidification device.

[0115] S304: Control the dehumidification device to perform a dehumidification operation according to the dehumidification power parameter; wherein the dehumidification device is disposed in an air inlet passage of the clothes dryer.

[0116] The dryer's air inlet duct is used to draw air from the outside environment into the dryer tub. A dehumidifier installed in the dryer's air inlet duct can be used to reduce the humidity of the air within the duct. Common dehumidification devices include condensing dehumidifiers, adsorption dehumidifiers, and drying wheel dehumidifiers.

[0117] The method of controlling the dehumidification device to perform the dehumidification operation according to the dehumidification power parameter can be adopted to control the dehumidification device to work according to the dehumidification power parameter to control the air humidity in the air inlet channel to be stable and consistent with the second preset humidity threshold.

[0118] The advantage of this arrangement of the present solution is that by determining the dehumidification power parameter based on the ambient humidity data and the second preset humidity threshold when the ambient humidity data exceeds the second preset humidity threshold, and controlling the dehumidification device to perform the dehumidification operation according to the dehumidification power parameter, the humidity of the air entering the drying barrel can be reduced and the drying efficiency can be improved.

[0119] In this technical solution, optionally, the execution parameters also include dust removal power parameters;

[0120] Accordingly, determining the execution parameters of the clothes dryer according to the ambient humidity data and the target humidity parameter includes:

[0121] When the ambient humidity data is less than a third preset humidity threshold, determining a dust removal power parameter according to the ambient humidity data and the third preset humidity threshold;

[0122] Accordingly, controlling the clothes dryer to execute a drying process according to the execution parameters includes:

[0123] The dust removal device is controlled to perform a dust removal operation according to the dust removal power parameter; wherein the dust removal device is arranged in the air inlet channel of the dryer.

[0124] Water vapor in the air can attach to dust particles in the air, making them heavier and making them settle to the ground more easily. Understandably, the lower the air humidity, the more dust particles will float in the air.

[0125] If the ambient humidity is too low, it indicates that the air drawn into the dryer during the drying process contains excessive dust particles, potentially contaminating the clean clothes inside. Therefore, appropriate dust removal must be performed to reduce dust particles in the air entering the dryer and ensure the cleanliness of the clothes being dried. Accordingly, the third preset humidity threshold may be the lower limit of the ambient humidity indicating that dust removal is not currently necessary for the air entering the dryer.

[0126] The dust removal power parameter may refer to the operating power of a dust removal device installed in the air inlet duct of the clothes dryer. The dust removal device installed in the air inlet duct of the clothes dryer may be a device used to reduce dust particles in the air in the air inlet duct. Common dust removal devices include mesh filters, electrostatic dust collectors, and HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters.

[0127] The method for determining the dust removal power parameter based on the ambient humidity data and the third preset humidity threshold can be to calculate the difference between the third preset humidity threshold and the ambient humidity data as the dust amount parameter, and determine the current dust removal power parameter based on the current dust amount parameter and a pre-established correlation between the dust amount parameter and the dust removal power parameter. The correlation between the dust amount parameter and the dust removal power parameter can be determined based on the operating performance of the dust removal device.

[0128] The method of controlling the dust removal device to perform dust removal operations according to the dust removal power parameters can be adopted to control the dust removal device to work according to the dust removal power parameters to control the amount of dust particles in the air in the air inlet channel to be consistent with the amount of dust particles corresponding to the third preset humidity threshold.

[0129] The advantage of this arrangement of the present scheme is that by determining the dust removal power parameters according to the ambient humidity data and the third preset humidity threshold when the ambient humidity data is less than the third preset humidity threshold, and controlling the dust removal device to perform the dust removal operation according to the dust removal power parameters, the air entering the drying barrel can be prevented from contaminating the clothes, so that the clothes can be kept clean.

[0130] Example 4

[0131] Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a clothes dryer control method based on ambient humidity, provided in Example 4 of the present application. This solution provides improvements to the aforementioned embodiments, specifically including: obtaining the clothes dryer's ambient humidity data, including: obtaining the clothes dryer's ambient humidity data via a humidity sensor located at the dryer's air inlet; or obtaining the clothes dryer's geographic location information and determining the clothes dryer's ambient humidity data based on meteorological data from the geographic location information.

[0132] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0133] S401, obtaining ambient humidity data of a clothes dryer through a humidity sensor; wherein the humidity sensor is provided at an air inlet of the clothes dryer;

[0134] or,

[0135] Acquire geographic location information of the clothes dryer, and determine ambient humidity data of the clothes dryer based on meteorological data of the geographic location information;

[0136] The air inlet of a clothes dryer refers to the port connecting the dryer's air inlet duct to the external environment. Air from the external environment enters the air inlet duct through the air inlet and then enters the dryer drum. A humidity sensor is an electronic sensor device that can detect and measure ambient humidity. Common humidity sensors include capacitive humidity sensors, resistive humidity sensors, chemical humidity sensors, and optical humidity sensors. Humidity sensors convert the detected humidity signal into an electrical signal for output. Digital signal processing of the electrical signal can be used to obtain ambient humidity data.

[0137] In this technical solution, optionally, obtaining the ambient humidity data of the clothes dryer through a humidity sensor includes:

[0138] Acquire environmental humidity detection data through humidity sensors;

[0139] Get the usage time information of the clothes dryer;

[0140] The ambient humidity data of the clothes dryer is determined according to the ambient humidity detection data and the usage time information.

[0141] Ambient humidity data may refer to the humidity value measured by the humidity sensor. As the dryer spends more time in the air, dust accumulates on the humidity sensor, potentially causing the humidity data measured by the sensor to deviate from the actual humidity. To ensure data accuracy, the humidity data measured by the humidity sensor must be calibrated.

[0142] The usage time information may refer to the time between the current time point and the time point when the clothes dryer was first operated. The usage time information may be automatically recorded by the main control PC board of the clothes dryer, so the usage time information of the clothes dryer can be directly read.

[0143] The dryer's ambient humidity data can be determined by determining a correction coefficient corresponding to the usage time information based on a pre-established correlation between usage time and the correction coefficient, and then multiplying the ambient humidity detection data by the correction coefficient to obtain the dryer's ambient humidity data. Pre-establishing the correlation between usage time and the correction coefficient can involve placing a humidity sensor in a constant humidity environment and calculating the ratio of the constant humidity value to the humidity sensor's measured value at various times as the correction coefficient to obtain the correlation between usage time and the correction coefficient.

[0144] The advantage of such a configuration of the present solution is that the accuracy of the acquired ambient humidity data can be improved by correcting the ambient humidity detection data of the humidity sensor according to the usage time information of the clothes dryer.

[0145] The dryer's geographic location information may refer to the dryer's location expressed in longitude and latitude. The dryer's geographic location information can be obtained using the dryer's built-in GPS (Global Positioning System). Specifically, the dryer's built-in GPS receiver receives signals from multiple GPS satellites and calculates the distance from the dryer to each GPS satellite based on the time difference between the transmission and reception time of each signal, thereby obtaining the dryer's geographic location information.

[0146] Meteorological data refers to the measurement and recording of various meteorological elements within a specific region or area, including temperature, precipitation, wind speed and direction, humidity, and air pressure. Meteorological data is typically recorded by meteorological departments using various meteorological instruments and aggregated, distributed, and shared through meteorological information systems. By querying the meteorological information system using the dryer's geographic location as a query condition, humidity data related to the dryer's geographic location can be retrieved as the dryer's ambient humidity data.
