[0075] See also Figure 3 The second aspect of the present application further provides a control method for controlling the washing, drying and hanging ironing machine of the first aspect, the control method comprising:

[0076] Step S1: Get a power-on instruction;

[0077] Step S2: Acquire a clothing image and / or acquire a selected washing and drying program;

[0078] Step S3: judging the material of the clothing according to the clothing image and / or the selected washing and drying program;

[0079] Step S4: If it is determined that the material of the clothing needs to be ironed, a reminder for ironing is issued;

[0080] Step S5: If it is determined that the material of the clothing does not require ironing, no ironing reminder is issued.

[0081] In this way, the material of the clothes is determined by the image of the clothes and / or the washing and drying program entered during washing, and a reminder for hanging clothes for ironing is issued based on the material of the clothes, so as to remind the user to hang clothes for ironing after washing, thereby saving the time of hanging clothes for ironing when wearing them.

[0082] In this embodiment, step S1: obtaining a power-on instruction generally refers to the user pressing a power button to power on the washing, drying and ironing machine.

[0083] In this embodiment, step S2: obtain the image of the clothes and / or obtain the selected washing and drying program. Specifically, the image of the clothes is captured by a camera when the clothes are put into the washing tub, and the washing and drying program is selected according to the material of the clothes put into the washing tub. For example: if the clothes put in are made of pure cotton, a gentle wash for twenty minutes is selected; if the clothes put in are blended jeans, a standard wash for 40 minutes is selected.

[0084] In this embodiment, step S3: judging the material of the clothes according to the clothes image and / or the selected washing and drying program, specifically, uploading the clothes image to the cloud server and comparing and judging the clothes material image stored in the cloud server, generally judging the texture of the clothes, and sending the judgment result back to the first control board 6, for example: judging that the washed clothes are made of pure cotton, the first control board 6 controls the buzzer connected thereto to make a sound to prompt that ironing is required. When the clothes image cannot be distinguished, the clothes material is judged according to the selected washing and drying program, for example: if the clothes are made of pure cotton, gentle washing is selected for twenty minutes, judging that the clothes material is pure cotton and ironing is required, and sending the judgment result back to the first control board 6, the first control board 6 controls the buzzer connected thereto to make a sound to prompt that ironing is required. When the clothing material is determined to be the same according to the clothing image and the selected washing and drying program, that is, the clothing is made of pure cotton, the first control board 6 controls the buzzer connected thereto to make a sound to prompt that the clothing needs to be ironed; when the clothing material is determined to be different according to the clothing image and the selected washing and drying program, the first control board 6 controls the buzzer connected thereto to make a sound to prompt that verification is needed, so that the user can check and judge whether the clothing needs to be ironed.

[0085] In this embodiment, step S4: if it is determined that the material of the clothes needs to be ironed, a reminder for ironing is issued. For example, if the clothes are made of pure cotton and need to be ironed, a reminder that the clothes need to be ironed is issued after the washing and drying of the clothes is completed. The reminder is generally a buzzer or a voice announcement. If the washing and drying program selects pure cotton clothes, the first control panel 6 directly determines that the clothes need to be ironed during washing, and a reminder that the clothes need to be ironed is issued after the washing and drying of the clothes is completed. The reminder is generally a buzzer or a voice announcement. Step S5: if it is determined that the material of the clothes does not need to be ironed, no reminder for ironing is issued, and the machine is directly shut down after the washing and drying is completed.
