[0028] The opening and closing of the air supply holes in each area are adjusted according to the characteristics of the clothes on the clothes drying rack in each area and the second preset time length.

[0029] In the technical solution of the present invention, the control method includes: in response to the received operation instruction, controlling the air supply module to operate, obtaining the weight of the clothes on each clothes drying rack, and adjusting the area where each clothes drying rack is located in the clothes drying device and the air supply strategy of the air supply module according to the received instruction type and the weight of the clothes on each clothes drying rack. That is to say, after receiving the operation instruction, controlling the air supply module to operate, and supplying air to each area of ​​the clothes drying device through the air supply module to increase the drying speed. Then, according to the received instruction type and the weight of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack, adjusting the area where each clothes drying rack is located in the clothes drying device and the air supply strategy of the air supply module, so that the position of each clothes drying rack and the air supply strategy of the air supply module can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user, and then the clothes hung on the clothes drying rack can be blown or dried as soon as possible on the premise of meeting the actual needs of the user, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0030] Furthermore, if the received instruction type is quick drying, after the air supply module is controlled to run for a preset time, since the air supply module has been running for a period of time, some light and thin clothes may have been blown dry or dried. At this time, the weight of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack is obtained, and the difference between the weights of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack is calculated. The clothes drying rack with clothes corresponding to the difference less than or equal to the preset value is moved to the first area, and the air supply module is controlled to stop supplying air to the first area. When the difference is less than or equal to the preset value, it means that the clothes corresponding to the difference have been blown dry or dried almost, or have been blown dry or dried. At this time, the air supply module is controlled to stop supplying air to the first area of ​​the clothes drying rack with clothes corresponding to the difference, so as to ensure that the clothes are dried as quickly as possible while reducing the running time of the air supply module to save energy. The clothes drying rack with clothes corresponding to the difference greater than the preset value is moved to the second area, and the air supply module is controlled to continue to supply air to the second area.

Under the action of the fan, the wind entering the air duct is blown toward the clothes hung on the clothes drying rod through the air supply holes.

[0050] Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can flexibly select the specific setting method of the clothes drying equipment according to the specific application scenario, as long as air can be supplied to various areas of the clothes drying equipment through the air supply module.

[0051] In the present invention, the clothes drying device is further provided with a weight detection module, through which the weight of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack can be detected.

[0053] It should be noted that the weight detection module can be set on the clothes rack, and the weight of the clothes hung on the clothes rack can be directly obtained. Of course, the weight detection module can also be set in the card slot of the clothes drying rod. At this time, the weight obtained by the weight detection module is the sum of the weight of the clothes drying rack and the clothes. At this time, the weight minus the weight of the clothes drying rack can be obtained. The weight of the clothes hanging on the clothes drying rack. It should be noted that the weight of the clothes drying rack can be determined and stored in the clothes drying equipment at the factory. The clothes drying rack is a clothes drying rack that is matched with the clothes drying equipment. Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can flexibly select the specific setting position of the weight detection module according to the specific application scenario, as long as the weight of the clothes hanging on each clothes drying rack can be detected by the weight detection module.

[0054] In a possible embodiment, the clothes drying device is equipped with a mechanical arm, which includes a motor and a gear rack pair, and a clamping part is provided on the rack of the gear rack pair, through which the clothes drying rack can be clamped. An RFID reader is provided on the clamping part, and an RFID tag is provided on each clothes drying rack. After determining which clothes drying rack to move, the RFID tag on each clothes drying rack is identified by the RFID reader, and after determining the target clothes drying rack, the target clothes drying rack is clamped by the clamping part, and then the target clothes drying rack is moved to the target position. Obviously, the RFID tag can also be set on the clothes hung on the clothes drying rack. Obviously, the mechanical arm can also be composed of a motor and a push rod, and the clamping part is set on the push rod. Of course, the mechanical arm can also be set in other ways, and those skilled in the art can flexibly choose according to the specific application scenario, as long as the clothes drying rack can be moved to the target position.

[0055] It should be noted that the clothes drying device may not be equipped with a mechanical arm, but the clothes drying rod is set to a ring shape, on which a ring guide rail is provided, and a plurality of clothes drying rack sliders are provided on the ring guide rail, and the clothes drying rack slider is used to hang the clothes drying rack, and its outer periphery is provided with meshing wave teeth. The inner wall of the clothes drying device is set to a wave shape at a corresponding position, which can mesh with the outer periphery of the clothes drying rack slider. The clothes drying device is also equipped with a transmission device, which can drive the clothes drying rack slider to slide along the ring guide rail. Among them, the transmission device includes an inner ring chain and a first motor, a first sprocket, a second sprocket, a second motor, a third sprocket and a fourth sprocket arranged in sequence clockwise along the ring guide rail. The first motor and the second motor are respectively connected to the inner ring chain, and the first sprocket, the second sprocket, the third sprocket and the fourth sprocket are respectively arranged on the inner and outer sides of the inner ring chain and can mesh with the inner ring chain respectively. Driven by the first motor and the second motor, the inner ring chain rotates, driving the clothes drying rack slider to move, and then the clothes drying rack slider moves along the ring guide rail. In this way, when a clothes drying rack needs to be moved, the clothes drying rack can be moved to the target position through the transmission device.

[0056] Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, technicians in this field can flexibly select the specific setting method of the clothes drying equipment according to the specific application scenario, as long as the clothes drying rack can be moved to the target position when it is needed.

[0057] In the present invention, the clothes drying rack also includes a control module, which is connected to the above-mentioned weight detection module, air supply module and mechanical arm, and can control the operation of the air supply module in response to received instructions, and can adjust the area where each clothes drying rack is located in the clothes drying device and the air supply strategy of the air supply module based on the received instruction type and the weight of the clothes on each clothes drying rack. After the air supply module has been running for a first preset period of time, the mechanical arm can be controlled to move the corresponding clothes drying rack according to the difference between the weights of the clothes on each clothes drying rack before and after, and can control the mechanical arm to move the clothes drying rack to a preset area based on the characteristics of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack.

[0058] It should be noted that such a control module may physically be a control chip of the clothes drying device itself, or a controller specifically used to execute the method of the present application, or a functional module or functional unit of a general controller.

[0059] Refer to the following Figure 1 and Figure 2 To illustrate possible implementations of the control method of the clothes drying rack of the present invention.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the control method of the present invention includes:

[0061] S100: In response to the received instruction, controlling the air supply module to operate;

[0062] S101: Obtaining the weight of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack;

[0063] S102: adjusting the area where each clothes drying rack is located in the clothes drying device and the air supply strategy of the air supply module according to the received instruction type and the weight of the clothes on each clothes drying rack.

[0064] In S100, after receiving the operation instruction, the air supply module is controlled to operate.

[0065] In S101, the weight of the clothes on each clothes drying rack is obtained through the weight detection module.

[0066] In S102, the area where each clothes drying rack is located in the clothes drying device and the air supply strategy of the air supply module are adjusted according to the instruction type of the operation instruction received in S100 and the weight obtained in S101.

[0067] It should be noted that the instruction type may be, but is not limited to, quick drying or timed drying.

[0068] Through the above control method, the position of each clothes drying rack and the air supply strategy of the air supply module can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user, so that the clothes hung on the clothes drying rack can be blown or dried as quickly as possible while meeting the actual needs of the user, thereby improving the clothes drying effect.

[0069] It should be noted that the air sent by the air supply module to the clothes drying device in the present application can be normal temperature air or hot air. The normal temperature air can be used to blow dry the clothes, and the hot air can be used to dry the clothes. In other words, the air sent by the air supply module can be used to blow dry the clothes on the clothes drying rack, or to dry the clothes on the clothes drying rack. For the convenience of explanation, unless otherwise specified, the following description is based on the example of sending air through the air supply module to dry the clothes.

[0070] In a possible implementation, the clothes drying device has a first area and a second area connected to each other. The instruction type of the operation instruction received in S100 is quick drying, that is, the user expects to dry the clothes as quickly as possible. At this time, the clothes drying racks are moved to the first area or the second area according to the change in the weight of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack after the air supply module runs for a preset time, and the air supply strategy of the air supply module in the first area and the second area is adjusted. Figure 2 To illustrate possible implementations of a method for controlling a clothes drying device when the instruction type is quick drying.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the control method of the present invention further includes:

[0072] S200: Obtaining the weight of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack;

[0073] S201: Calculating the difference between the weights of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack before and after the weights are measured;

[0074] S202: Determine whether each difference is less than or equal to a preset value, if so, execute S203; if not, execute S204;

[0075] S203: moving the clothes drying rack with clothes corresponding to the difference to the first area, and controlling the air supply module to stop supplying air to the first area;

[0076] S204: Move the clothes drying rack with clothes corresponding to the difference to the second area, and control the air supply module to continue to supply air to the second area.

[0077] In S200, after the air supply module is controlled to run for a preset time in S100, for example, the preset time is 30 minutes. After the air supply module runs for 30 minutes, some light and thin clothes may have been dried. At this time, the weight of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack is continuously obtained through the weight detection module.

[0078] In S201, based on the weight obtained in S200, the difference between the weights of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack before and after is calculated.

[0079] In S202, based on the multiple difference values ​​obtained in S201, each difference value is compared with a preset value to determine whether any difference value among the difference values ​​is less than or equal to the preset value.

[0080] If at least a part of the differences among the differences is less than or equal to the preset value, for example, the partial differences are 8g, 5g, 7g, etc., and the preset value is 10g, it means that the weight change of the clothes corresponding to this part of the difference is relatively small, and they have been basically dried, or they have been almost dried and will be dry after a little drying. Based on the weight detection module, the corresponding position of each clothes drying rack and the weight of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack can be determined, so the position of the clothes drying rack where the clothes corresponding to each difference are hung can be determined based on the weight detection module. At this time, the RFID reader / writer on the clamping part of the above-mentioned mechanical arm reads the RFID tag on each clothes drying rack, determines the position of the clothes drying rack corresponding to the difference less than or equal to the preset value, moves the corresponding clothes drying racks to the first area, closes the air supply holes in the first area, and stops supplying air to the first area, that is, executes S203. These clothes can be dried by natural drying, and the clothes that have not yet been dried can be prevented from getting wet. This can ensure that the clothes are dried as quickly as possible, and can also reduce the operating time of the air supply module and save energy.

[0081] If at least a part of the differences is greater than the preset value, for example, the part of the differences is 20g, 50g, 150g, etc., and the preset value is 10g, it means that the weight change of the clothes corresponding to this part of the difference is still relatively large, and these clothes are still relatively wet and need to be dried further. At this time, the RFID reader-writer on the clamping part of the above-mentioned mechanical arm reads the RFID tags on each clothes drying rack, determines the position where the clothes drying rack corresponding to the difference greater than the preset value is hung, moves the corresponding clothes drying rack to the second area, and controls the air supply module to continue to supply air to the second area, that is, executes S204. The hot air sent in by the air supply module continues to dry the clothes on the clothes drying rack moved to the second area, so as to dry the clothes as soon as possible. At the same time, since the first area and the second area are connected, part of the hot air sent into the second area will also enter the first area to continue drying the clothes in the first area, so as to ensure that the clothes that have not been completely dried before are completely dried.

[0082] While or after executing S204, return to execute S200, continue to obtain the weight of the clothes on each drying rack, move the clothes in the second area whose weight difference is less than or equal to the preset value to the first area, and the clothes in the second area whose weight difference is greater than the preset value remain unchanged and continue to be hung in the second area, and continue to dry with the hot air sent by the air supply module. Repeat this process until all the clothes are dried. It can be seen that during the entire drying process, the second area is constantly shrinking, which means that the area that needs the air supply module to send hot air is gradually shrinking, which can effectively reduce the energy consumption of the air supply module when heating the air and sending air.

[0083] Through the above control method, the degree of drying of the clothes on each clothes drying rack is judged according to the difference between the weight of the clothes on each clothes drying rack before and after, and the clothes that have been dried or are about to be dried are hung in the first area, and the clothes that have not been dried are hung in the second area. The air supply module is controlled to stop supplying air to the first area and continue to supply air to the second area, so as to save energy and avoid energy waste while ensuring that the clothes are dried quickly.

[0084] It should be noted that the clothes drying device may not only have two areas, namely the first area and the second area, but may have three, four or more areas. Accordingly, when adjusting the area of ​​each clothes drying rack in the clothes drying device based on the difference, a corresponding number of ranges is also determined accordingly, and the air supply duration of the air supply module in the corresponding area is controlled. For example, the clothes drying device has three areas, the clothes drying rack with clothes corresponding to the difference less than or equal to the first difference threshold is moved to one area, and the air supply module is controlled to stop supplying air to the area, the clothes drying rack with clothes corresponding to the difference less than or equal to the second difference threshold and greater than the first difference threshold is moved to another area, and the air supply module is controlled to continue supplying air to the area for a first duration, the clothes drying rack with clothes corresponding to the difference greater than the second difference threshold is moved to the remaining area, and the air supply module is controlled to continue supplying air to the area for a second duration, and the second duration is greater than the first duration, so that energy can be saved while ensuring rapid drying or drying of clothes.

[0085] In a possible implementation, the instruction type of the operation instruction received in S100 is timed drying, that is, the user expects to dry the clothes within the second preset time. At this time, the characteristics of the clothes are determined based on the wet weight of the wet clothes hung on each clothes drying rack. It should be noted that the first clothes weight obtained by the weight detection module corresponding to each clothes drying rack during this clothes drying process can be used as the wet weight of the wet clothes on each clothes drying rack. Based on the wet weight, the characteristics of the clothes can be preliminarily determined. Generally, heavier clothes are more difficult to dry and lighter clothes are easier to dry. For example, when the weight of wet clothes is greater than 300g, it is considered that it is more difficult to dry, and when the weight of wet clothes is less than or equal to 300g, it is considered that it is easier to dry. Therefore, based on the wet weight of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack, it can be preliminarily determined whether the clothes are more difficult to dry or easier to dry. The clothes drying device is divided into two preset areas, the third area and the fourth area. Then, based on the characteristics of the difficulty of drying the clothes, the clothes drying rack with clothes that are easy to dry is moved to the corresponding third area by the above-mentioned robotic arm, and the clothes drying rack with clothes that are more difficult to dry is moved to the corresponding fourth area.

[0086] It should be noted that since the degree of difficulty of drying clothes is determined based on the weight of the clothes, the degree of difficulty of drying clothes hung on the corresponding clothes drying rack can be determined based on each weight detection module. Based on this, the robot arm determines the clothes drying rack to be moved based on the RFIF reader / writer set thereon, and the process is roughly the same as the process of moving different clothes drying racks based on the difference, which will not be repeated here.

[0087] It should be noted that the characteristics of each piece of clothing can be determined not only based on the initial weight of the wet clothing hung on the clothes drying rack, but also based on the wet clothing weight of the wet clothing hung on the clothes drying rack and the dry clothing weight of the dry clothing corresponding to the wet clothing. Specifically, the difference between the wet clothing weight and the dry clothing weight is calculated. When the difference is greater than the threshold, for example, the difference is 200g, the threshold is 80g, etc., it indicates that the moisture content of the clothing is high and it is difficult to be dried. When the difference is less than or equal to the threshold, for example, the difference is 20g, the threshold is 80g, etc., it indicates that the moisture content of the clothing is low and it is easier to be dried. In this way, based on the difference between the wet clothing weight and the dry clothing weight, it is also possible to accurately determine whether the clothing is easy to be dried. It should be noted that the dry clothing weight of the dry clothing corresponding to the wet clothing can be obtained by weighing at the factory and recorded in the RFID tag of the clothing. Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can flexibly select a specific implementation method according to the specific application scenario, as long as the method can accurately determine whether the clothing is easy to be dried.

[0088] It should be noted that the clothes drying device may have not only two preset areas, namely the third area and the fourth area, but three, four or more preset areas. Accordingly, when determining whether the clothes are easy to dry based on the weight of the clothes, more types of characteristics such as difficult to dry, hard to dry, easy to dry, etc. are also determined accordingly, so that clothes with similar drying difficulty can be hung in the corresponding preset areas.

[0089] In a possible implementation, the air supplied by the air supply module to the clothes drying device is hot air. In this case, the air supply module further includes a plurality of heaters, which are evenly arranged at various locations in the air duct, and the number of heaters corresponding to the third area and the fourth area in the air duct is the same. Under the action of the fan in the air duct, the air is introduced into the air duct, heated by the heater arranged in the air duct, and then blown out from the air supply port on the air duct or the clothes drying rod and blown to the clothes hung in the third area and the fourth area, thereby drying the clothes. Combined with the second preset time, the target operating power of each heater corresponding to the third area and the fourth area is determined, and then each heater is controlled to operate at its own target operating power, so as to dry all the clothes within the second preset time.

[0090] It should be noted that when determining the target operating power of each heater, a power database can be pre-constructed, in which a preset time period, a first power required for drying clothes that are easy to dry within the preset time period, and a second power required for drying clothes that are difficult to dry within the preset time period are pre-stored. The data in the power database is determined and stored in advance by the designer through experiments, calculations, etc. The second preset duration is compared with each preset time period in the power database, and the first power and the second power corresponding to the preset time period that successfully matches the second preset duration are determined as the first target power and the second target power, and then the power obtained by dividing the first target power by the number of heaters in the third area is determined as the target operating power of each heater in the third area, and the power obtained by dividing the second target power by the number of heaters in the fourth area is determined as the target operating power of each heater in the fourth area.

[0091] Obviously, the target operating power of each heater can also be determined in other ways, for example, a comparison table is constructed, in which the preset time period, the first power required for drying clothes that are easy to dry in the preset time period, and the second power required for drying clothes that are difficult to dry in the preset time period are listed. The second preset time period is compared with each preset time period in the comparison table, and the first power and the second power corresponding to the preset time period that successfully compares with the second preset time period are determined as the first target power and the second target power, and then the power obtained by dividing the first target power by the number of heaters in the third area is determined as the target operating power of each heater in the third area, and the power obtained by dividing the second target power by the number of heaters in the fourth area is determined as the target operating power of each heater in the fourth area.

[0092] Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, technicians in this field can flexibly choose to determine the target operating power of each heater according to the specific application scenario, as long as the clothes hung in the third area and the fourth area can be dried within the second preset time based on the target operating power.

[0093] In another possible embodiment, the air supply module may also include only one heater. In this case, all the air entering the air duct through the fan is heated by the heater and then blown out through the air supply ports on the air duct or the clothes drying rod. In other words, the temperature of the hot air delivered through each air supply port is basically the same. In this case, the purpose of drying the clothes in the third area and the fourth area within the second preset time can be achieved by fixing the number of air supply holes opened in the third area and the fourth area and adjusting the operating power of the heater. Specifically, the third area is controlled to open a smaller number of air supply holes and the fourth area is controlled to open a larger number of air supply holes, and then the target operating power of the heater is determined based on the second preset time, and the heater is controlled to operate at the target operating power, so as to dry all the clothes within the second preset time.

[0094] It should be noted that when determining the target operating power of the heater based on the second preset duration, a power database can be pre-built, in which preset time periods and the power required to dry all clothes under the conditions of the third area and the fourth area in the preset time period are pre-stored. The data in the power database is determined and stored in advance by the designer through experiments, calculations, etc. The second preset duration is compared with each preset time period in the power database, and the power corresponding to the preset time period that successfully matches the second preset duration is determined as the target operating power of the heater.

[0095] Obviously, the target operating power of each heater can also be determined in other ways, for example, a comparison table is constructed, in which preset time periods are listed, and the power required to dry all clothes in the preset time period under the conditions of the third area and the fourth area as described above. The second preset time period is compared with each preset time period in the comparison table, and the power corresponding to the preset time period that successfully compares with the second preset time period is determined as the target operating power.

[0096] Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, technicians in this field can flexibly choose to determine the target operating power of the heater according to the specific application scenario, as long as the clothes hung in the third area and the fourth area can be dried within the second preset time based on the target operating power.

[0097] Of course, the purpose of adjusting the operating power of the heater in the third area and the fourth area can also be achieved by adjusting the number of air supply holes opened in the third area and the fourth area. Since the temperature of the hot air heated by the heater will be different when the operating power of the heater is different, the appropriate operating power of the heater is also determined while determining the number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the third area and the fourth area. After determining the target operating power of the heater and the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the third area and the fourth area respectively in combination with the second preset time, the heater of the clothes drying device is controlled to operate at the target operating power, and the corresponding number of air supply holes in the third area and the fourth area are controlled to be opened respectively, so as to dry all the clothes within the second preset time.

[0098] It should be noted that when determining the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the third area and the fourth area, an air supply database can be pre-constructed, in which the preset time period, the operating power of the heater, the first number of air supply holes that need to be opened to dry easily dried clothes under a certain operating power and within a preset time period, and the second number of air supply holes that need to be opened to dry clothes that are difficult to dry are pre-stored. The data in the air supply database is determined and stored in advance by the designer through experiments, calculations, etc. The second preset duration is compared with the preset time period in the air supply database, and the data corresponding to the preset time period that successfully matches it is determined as the candidate data, and then a set of the operating power of the heater, the first number, and the second number are arbitrarily selected from the candidate data to be determined as the target operating power of the heater of the clothes drying device, the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the third area, and the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the fourth area.

[0099] Obviously, the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the third area and the fourth area can also be determined in other ways, for example, a comparison table is constructed, in which the preset time period, the operating power of the heater, the first number of air supply holes that need to be opened to dry easily dried clothes under a certain operating power and within a preset time period, and the second number of air supply holes that need to be opened to dry clothes that are difficult to dry within the preset time period are listed. The second preset time length is compared with the preset time period in the comparison table, and the data corresponding to the preset time period that is successfully compared with it is determined as the alternative data, and then a group of the operating power of the heater, the first number, and the second number are arbitrarily selected from the alternative data to be determined as the target operating power of the heater of the clothes drying device, the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the third area, and the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the fourth area.

[0100] Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, technicians in this field can flexibly choose to determine the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the third area and the fourth area according to specific application scenarios, as long as the clothes hung in the third area and the fourth area can be dried within the second preset time based on these target numbers.

[0101] It should be noted that the heater can be, but is not limited to, a resistance wire, a resistance coil, a ceramic heater, a quartz tube heater, an infrared heater, and the like.

[0102] In a possible embodiment, the air supplied by the air supply module to the clothes drying device is normal temperature air. In this case, the air supply module does not include a heater, but only includes the above-mentioned air duct and a fan arranged in the air duct. The air is introduced into the air duct by the fan, and then blown out through the air duct or the air supply port on the clothes drying rod. In this case, the amount of air supplied to the third area and the fourth area can be adjusted by adjusting the number of air supply holes opened in the third area and the fourth area. For example, a smaller number of air supply holes are opened in the third area, and a larger number of air supply holes are opened in the fourth area, etc. After determining the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the third area and the fourth area respectively in combination with the second preset time, the third area and the fourth area are controlled to open the corresponding number of air supply holes respectively, and the appropriate amount of air is supplied to the third area and the fourth area respectively, so that all clothes can be dried within the second preset time.

[0103] It should be noted that the specific method of determining the target number of air supply holes in the third area and the fourth area is roughly similar to the method of determining the target number of air supply holes in the third area and the fourth area when the above-mentioned air supply module only includes one heater, except that the operating power of the heater does not need to be determined here. Take the pre-construction of an air supply database as an example. In the air supply database, a preset time period, a first number of air supply holes required to be opened to dry clothes that are easy to dry within a preset time period, and a second number of air supply holes required to be opened to dry clothes that are difficult to dry are pre-stored. The data in the air supply database is determined and stored in advance by the designer through experiments, calculations, etc. The second preset time length is compared with the preset time period in the air supply database, and the first number and the second number corresponding to the preset time period that successfully matches it are determined as the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the third area and the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the fourth area.

[0104] Obviously, the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the third area and the fourth area can also be determined in other ways, for example, a comparison table is constructed, and the comparison table lists the preset time period, the first number of air supply holes that need to be opened to dry clothes that are easy to dry within the preset time period, and the second number of air supply holes that need to be opened to dry clothes that are difficult to dry within the preset time period. The second preset time length is compared with the preset time period in the comparison table, and the first number and the second number corresponding to the preset time period that is successfully compared are determined as the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the third area and the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the fourth area.

[0105] Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, technical personnel in this field can flexibly select and determine the target number of air supply holes that need to be opened in the third area and the fourth area according to specific application scenarios, as long as the clothes hung in the third area and the fourth area can be dried within the second preset time based on these target numbers.

[0106] It should be noted that the second preset time duration is a time parameter in the received instruction. Specifically, when the received instruction type is timed clothes drying, a time parameter is usually received, such as the second preset time duration, which means that the clothes drying is completed within the second preset time duration.

[0107] It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the above-mentioned weights, differences, preset values, thresholds, and first preset time durations are merely exemplary descriptions and are not restrictive. Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust the specific values ​​of the above-mentioned parameters according to specific application scenarios, as long as the clothes can be dried or blow-dried as quickly as possible according to the actual needs of the user.

[0108] In summary, in the preferred technical solution of the present invention, after receiving the instruction, the air supply module is controlled to operate, and the area where each clothes rack is located in the clothes drying device and the air supply strategy of the air supply module are adjusted according to the type of instruction received and the weight of the clothes hung on each clothes rack, so that the clothes can be dried or blown dry according to the actual needs of the user, so as to better meet the needs of the user and improve the clothes drying effect. When the type of instruction received is fast drying, after controlling the air supply module to operate for the first preset time, each clothes rack is moved to the first area and the second area according to the difference between the weights of the clothes hung on each clothes rack before and after, and the air supply module is controlled to stop supplying air to the first area where clothes corresponding to the difference less than or equal to the preset value are hung, and continue to supply air to the second area where clothes corresponding to the difference greater than the preset value are hung, so as to save energy and avoid energy waste while ensuring fast drying of clothes. When the received instruction is for timed clothes drying, whether the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack are easy to dry is determined according to the weight of the clothes hung on each clothes drying rack, and then the clothes drying rack with the clothes hung on it is moved to the third area or the fourth area according to the judgment result of whether the clothes are easy to dry, and the operating power of the heaters corresponding to the two areas or the number of open air holes in the two areas are adjusted in combination with the second preset time length, so as to ensure that all the clothes are blown dry or dried within the second preset time length to meet the needs of users.
