The telescopic bracket assembly 120 is a telescopic structure, and the drying rod assembly 130 is driven to move up and down by the contraction and extension of the telescopic bracket assembly 120.

[0065] See also Figure 2As shown, the present application embodiment provides a flow chart of a control method for a clothes drying machine. Specifically, the control method for the clothes drying machine includes: S201 to S202.

[0066] S201, obtaining a first distance measured by a distance measuring device; the distance measuring device is arranged at the bottom of the main assembly 110 and / or the drying rod assembly 130 of the clothes drying machine; the first distance includes the distance between the distance measuring device and an object located below the distance measuring device.

[0067] Optionally, the ranging device is used to transmit a first signal and / or receive a second signal, generate ranging information according to the second signal, and send the ranging information to the main controller, so that the main controller determines the first distance according to the ranging information. Both the first signal and the second signal can be infrared rays. The ranging device may include a signal transceiver for transmitting the first signal and receiving the second signal; or, the ranging device includes a signal transmitting end for transmitting the first signal, and a matching piece is provided in a vertical direction corresponding to the ranging device as a signal receiving end for receiving the second signal; or, the ranging device includes a signal receiving end for receiving the second signal, and a matching piece is provided in a vertical direction corresponding to the ranging device as a signal transmitting end for transmitting the first signal.

[0068] Optionally, the distance measuring device may include an infrared transmitting unit and an infrared receiving unit, transmitting a first signal and receiving a second signal. The distance measuring principle of the embodiment of the present application may refer to the principle of infrared distance measuring. The infrared transmitting unit may be an infrared signal transmitting diode, and the infrared receiving unit may be an infrared signal receiving diode. The transmitting diode transmits an infrared signal of a specific frequency, and the receiving diode receives the infrared signal of this frequency. When the detection direction of the infrared signal encounters an obstacle, the infrared signal is reflected back and received by the receiving diode, and distance measurement information is generated according to the second signal.

[0069] The main controller can control the power supply signal to supply power to the infrared emitting unit, that is, output a constant predetermined voltage to the infrared emitting unit. The main controller can control the moment when the infrared emitting unit emits infrared rays according to the emission information.

[0070] Optionally, the main controller can control the infrared transmitting unit to transmit the first signal according to the transmitting information, and determine the first distance according to the ranging information, the transmitting information and the propagation speed of the first signal; the transmitting information includes the transmitting time of the first signal, and the reflection information includes the receiving time of the first signal. Similarly, the main controller can also determine the first distance according to the ranging information, the time of receiving the transmitting information and the propagation speed of the first signal.

[0071] S202: Based on the current state of the drying rod assembly 130 and the first distance, control the drying rod assembly 130 to perform a corresponding operation.

[0072] In some embodiments, based on the current state of the drying rod assembly 130 and the first distance, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to perform corresponding operations, including at least one of steps A1 to A2.

[0073] Step A1, obtaining a second distance related to the drying rod assembly 130; comparing the first distance and the second distance; based on the comparison result and the current state of the drying rod assembly 130, controlling the drying rod assembly 130 to perform a corresponding operation.

[0074] Optionally, the current state of the drying rod assembly 130 may be that the drying rod assembly 130 is in the upper limit position, the drying rod assembly 130 is in the lower limit position, the drying rod assembly 130 is stopped at a non-upper limit position and a non-lower limit position, the drying rod assembly 130 is in a descending state, the drying rod assembly 130 is in an ascending state, etc.

[0075] Optionally, the upper limit position is the highest position that the clothes drying component 130 of the clothes drying machine can reach, and the lower limit position is the lowest position that the clothes drying component 130 of the clothes drying machine can reach.

[0076] In some embodiments, the second distance associated with the clothes-drying rod assembly 130 includes at least one of the following: the height distance that the clothes-drying rod assembly 130 is currently descending; the distance between the clothes-drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when it is at the upper limit position; the distance between the current height position of the clothes-drying rod assembly 130 and the ground.

[0077] Optionally, the height position of the drying rod assembly 130 currently refers to the current position of the drying rod assembly 130, which can be any of the following positions: an upper limit position, a lower limit position, or a position between the upper limit position and the lower limit position. The height distance that the drying rod assembly 130 currently descends can be the height distance directly obtained by the clothes drying machine controlling the movement of the drying rod assembly 130, or it can be obtained in the following manner: obtaining a Hall signal output by a Hall sensor, and determining the height distance according to the Hall signal; wherein the Hall sensor is provided in the motor of the clothes drying machine, and the height distance can also be determined according to the Hall signal output by the Hall sensor, so that the height distance of the movement of the drying rod assembly 130 can be detected in real time.

[0078] Optionally, the main controller can also calculate the height distance according to the average speed of the motor multiplied by the running time.

[0079] The embodiment of the present application can control the clothes drying rod assembly 130 to perform corresponding operations by comparing the first distance and the second distance based on the comparison result and the current state of the clothes drying rod assembly 130, thereby realizing automatic control of the clothes drying machine in different application scenarios, reducing manual operations and making the control process simpler.

[0080] Step A2, obtaining at least two first distances within a preset time period; based on the change trend of the at least two first distances and the current state of the drying rod assembly 130, controlling the drying rod assembly 130 to perform corresponding operations.

[0081] Optionally, the variation trend of the at least two first distances may be gradually increasing or gradually decreasing.

[0082] The embodiment of the present application can also control the drying rod assembly 130 to perform corresponding operations according to the changing trend of the first distance in combination with the current state of the drying rod assembly 130, which is suitable for application scenarios in which the user controls the rise or fall of the drying rod assembly 130 by hand.

[0083] Based on the above S201 to S202, the embodiment of the present application can measure the first distance through the distance measuring device. Since the first distance includes the distance between the distance measuring device and the object located below the distance measuring device, corresponding control operations can be performed according to the current state of the clothes drying rod assembly 130 and various different situations of the first distance. For example, in different situations such as the first signal emitted by the distance measuring device encounters an obstacle or the clothes drying rod assembly 130 encounters an obstacle or the user waves his hand under the distance measuring device, the first distance will change. At the same time, combined with the current state of the clothes drying rod assembly 130, the clothes drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to rise, fall or stop. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can realize automatic control of the clothes drying machine in different application scenarios, reduce manual operations, and make the control process more convenient.

[0084] In some embodiments, when the first distance is measured by a distance-measuring device disposed at the bottom of the main assembly 110, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to perform corresponding operations based on the current state of the drying rod assembly 130 and the first distance, including controlling the drying rod assembly 130 to rise in at least one of situations B1 to B3.

[0085] Case B1: the drying rod assembly 130 is at the lower limit position, and the difference between the first distance and the current descending height distance of the drying rod assembly 130 is not within the preset first threshold range, or the first distance is less than the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when it is at the upper limit position.

[0086] See also Figure 3 As shown, the present embodiment provides a structural schematic diagram of the current state of the first drying rod assembly 130. Figure 3 As shown, the drying rod assembly 130 is at the lower limit position, the current descending height distance of the drying rod assembly 130 is H1, and the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when it is at the upper limit position is H2.

[0087] Since the distance measuring device is arranged at the bottom of the main unit component 110, the first distance H should normally be the current descending height distance H1 of the drying rod component 130 or the distance H2 from the ground when the drying rod component 130 is at the upper limit position, that is, the difference between the first distance H and the current descending height distance H1 of the drying rod component 130 is a predictable calculated value, which is within the preset first threshold range. When it is not within the preset first threshold range, for example: H is not equal to H1, it may be that the drying rod component 130 is tilted or the user blocks the first signal of the distance measuring device with his hand, causing the first distance H to change. At this time, the drying rod component 130 can be controlled to rise.

[0088] Optionally, the drying rod assembly 130 is in the lower limit position, and the first distance H should normally be H2, which is the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is in the upper limit position. When the first distance H is less than H2, which is the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is in the upper limit position, the drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to rise.

[0089] Case B2: the drying rod assembly 130 stops at a non-upper limit position and a non-lower limit position, and the first distance is less than the current descending height distance of the drying rod assembly 130.

[0090] See also Figure 4 As shown, the present embodiment provides a structural schematic diagram of the current state of the second drying rod assembly 130. Figure 4 As shown, the drying rod assembly 130 stops at a non-upper limit position and a non-lower limit position, the current descending height distance of the drying rod assembly 130 is H1, and the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when it is at the upper limit position is H2.

[0091] Since the distance measuring device is arranged at the bottom of the main unit component 110, the first distance H is normally the distance between the distance measuring device and the drying rod component 130, that is, the height distance of the current descent of the drying rod component 130 is H1. When the first distance H is less than the height distance H1 of the current descent of the drying rod component 130, it can be applicable to the situation where there is a user's hand between the distance measuring device and the drying rod component 130 for control, and the drying rod component 130 can be controlled to rise.

[0092] As an example, when the object below the distance measuring device is the user's hand, when the user controls the drying rod assembly 130 by extending his hand, the user's hand is located between the main assembly 110 and the drying rod assembly 130, and the first distance will be smaller than the current descending height distance of the drying rod assembly 130. This can be applicable to the situation where the drying rod assembly 130 is in the process of descending, and after the user controls the drying rod assembly 130 to stop at a certain height, the drying rod assembly 130 can continue to perform the ascending operation afterwards.

[0093] Case B3: the drying rod assembly 130 is in a descending state, and the time length during which the first distance is less than the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is greater than the preset first time length.

[0094] See also Figure 5 As shown, the present embodiment provides a structural schematic diagram of the current state of the third drying rod assembly 130. Figure 5 As shown, the drying rod assembly 130 is in a descending state (as shown by the arrow), the current descending height distance of the drying rod assembly 130 is H1, and the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when it is at the upper limit position is H2.

[0095] Since the distance measuring device is arranged at the bottom of the main unit component 110, the first distance H should normally be H2, which is the distance between the drying rod component 130 and the ground when it is at the upper limit position. When the first distance is less than the distance between the drying rod component 130 and the ground when it is at the upper limit position and the time length is greater than the preset first time length, the user's hand may be located between the distance measuring device and the ground, and the drying rod component 130 may be controlled to rise.

[0096] As an example, when the drying rod assembly 130 is in a descending state and the time during which the first distance is less than the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is greater than a preset first time, the drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to rise. In this way, when the drying rod assembly 130 is triggered to rise during its descent, it does not necessarily need to stop.

[0097] In some embodiments, when the drying rod assembly 130 is in a descending state, if the time length during which the first distance is less than the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is greater than a preset second time length, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to stop descending.

[0098] Optionally, the time length when the first distance H is less than the distance H2 between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the assembly is at the upper limit position is greater than a preset second time length may be that the user's hand is continuously located between the distance measuring device and the ground to control the drying rod assembly 130 to stop descending.

[0099] In some embodiments, when the drying rod assembly 130 is in a descending state, if the drying rod assembly 130 stops descending for a preset third time period, and the first distance is still less than the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position, or the first distance is less than the current descending height distance of the drying rod assembly 130, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to rise.

[0100] Specifically, the time for the drying rod assembly 130 to stop descending is a preset third time period, and the first distance H is less than the current descending height distance H1 of the drying rod assembly 130, which also satisfies the control operation of controlling the drying rod assembly 130 to rise. This control method takes into account that in actual operation, the user may only place the hand in a certain position for gesture control, but it does not rule out placing the hand between the main unit assembly 110 and the drying rod assembly 130 after controlling the drying rod assembly 130 to stop descending, thereby triggering the operation of raising the drying rod assembly 130.

[0101] In some embodiments, when the drying rod assembly 130 is in a descending state, if the drying rod assembly 130 stops descending for a preset third time period, and the difference between the first distance and the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is within a preset second threshold range, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to continue descending.

[0102] Specifically, when the time when the drying rod assembly 130 stops descending is a preset third time period, and the difference between the first distance and the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when it is at the upper limit position is within a preset second threshold range, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to continue descending in order to avoid false triggering of ascent.

[0103] In some embodiments, when the first distance is measured by a distance-measuring device disposed at the bottom of the main assembly 110, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to perform corresponding operations based on the current state of the drying rod assembly 130 and the first distance, including controlling the drying rod assembly 130 to descend in at least one of situations C1 to C3.

[0104] Case C1: the drying rod assembly 130 stops at a non-upper limit position and a non-lower limit position, and the first distance is smaller than the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position, and is larger than the current descending height distance of the drying rod assembly 130.

[0105] See also Figure 4 As shown, the drying rod assembly 130 stops at a non-upper limit position and a non-lower limit position, and the user places his hand between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground, so that the first distance H is smaller than the distance H2 between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position, and is larger than the current descending height distance H1 of the drying rod assembly 130, thereby the drying rod assembly 130 can continue to be controlled to descend. This can be applicable to the situation where during the descent of the drying rod assembly 130, the user controls the drying rod assembly 130 to stop at a certain height, and the drying rod assembly 130 can subsequently perform a descending operation.

[0106] Case C2: the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position, and the first distance is smaller than the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position.

[0107] See also Figure 6As shown, the present embodiment provides a structural schematic diagram of the current state of the fourth type of drying rod assembly 130. Figure 6 As shown, the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position, and the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is H2.

[0108] Optionally, the drying rod assembly 130 is in the upper limit position, and the user places his hand between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground. The first distance H is smaller than the distance H2 between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is in the upper limit position, and the drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to descend.

[0109] Case C3: the drying rod assembly 130 is in an ascending state, and the time duration during which the first distance is less than the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is greater than a preset fourth time duration.

[0110] See also Figure 7 As shown, the present embodiment provides a structural schematic diagram of the current state of the fifth drying rod assembly 130. Figure 7 As shown, the drying rod assembly 130 is in an ascending state (as indicated by the arrow), the current descending height distance of the drying rod assembly 130 is H1, and the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when it is at the upper limit position is H2.

[0111] Optionally, the drying rod assembly 130 is in an ascending state, the user places his hand between the distance measuring device and the ground, and the time length during which the first distance H is less than the distance H2 between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is greater than a preset fourth time length, the drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to descend.

[0112] In some embodiments, when the drying rod assembly 130 is in an ascending state, if the time duration during which the first distance is less than the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is greater than a preset fifth time duration, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to stop ascending.

[0113] Optionally, the drying rod assembly 130 is in an ascending state, the user places his hand between the distance measuring device and the ground, and the time length during which the first distance H is less than the distance H2 between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is greater than a preset fifth time length, the drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to stop ascending.

[0114] For example: the fifth time length can be smaller than the fourth time length. When the user briefly places his hand between the distance measuring device and the ground, the drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to stop rising; when the user places his hand between the distance measuring device and the ground for a longer period of time, the drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to descend.

[0115] In some embodiments, when the drying rod assembly 130 is in an ascending state, if the drying rod assembly 130 stops rising for a preset sixth time period, and the first distance is still less than the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to descend.

[0116] Optionally, the drying rod assembly 130 is in the ascending state, and the user places a hand between the distance measuring device and the ground. If the time duration during which the first distance H is less than the distance H2 between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is in the upper limit position is longer than a preset fifth time duration, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to stop ascending. If the time duration during which the drying rod assembly 130 stops ascending is a preset sixth time duration, and the user continues to place a hand between the distance measuring device and the ground, and the first distance is still less than the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is in the upper limit position, the drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to descend. For example, the user may trigger the ascending by mistake, and after controlling the drying rod assembly 130 to stop ascending, the drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to descend.

[0117] In some embodiments, when the drying rod assembly 130 is in an ascending state, if the drying rod assembly 130 stops ascending for a preset seventh time period, and the difference between the first distance and the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is within a preset second threshold range, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to continue ascending.

[0118] Optionally, the drying rod assembly 130 is in an ascending state, and the user places a hand between the distance measuring device and the ground. The time duration during which the first distance H is less than the distance H2 between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is greater than the preset fifth time duration, and the drying rod assembly 130 stops ascending for the preset seventh time duration, and the difference between the first distance and the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is within the preset second threshold range, and the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to continue ascending to avoid false triggering. For example; during the ascending process of the drying rod assembly 130, the user may mistakenly trigger the stop. After a period of time, the difference between the first distance and the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position is within the preset second threshold range, and the difference is very small, and the drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to continue ascending.

[0119] In some embodiments, when the first distance is measured by a distance measuring device arranged at the bottom of the drying rod assembly 130, based on the current state of the drying rod assembly 130 and the first distance, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to perform corresponding operations, including at least one of steps D1 to D2.

[0120] Step D1: If the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position and the first distance is less than the distance between the current height position of the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to descend.

[0121] When the first distance H is measured by a distance measuring device disposed at the bottom of the drying rod assembly 130, the first distance H is the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground. Figure 6 As shown, the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position, and the first distance H is the distance between the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground when the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position, which is H2.

[0122] Optionally, the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position, and the user places his hand between the distance measuring device and the ground, which will make the first distance H smaller than the distance H2 between the current height position of the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground, and the drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to descend.

[0123] Step D2: If the drying rod assembly 130 is at the lower limit position and the first distance is less than the distance between the current height position of the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to rise.

[0124] Optionally, the drying rod assembly 130 is at the lower limit position, and the user places his hand between the distance measuring device and the ground, which will make the first distance H smaller than the distance H2 between the current height position of the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground, and the drying rod assembly 130 can be controlled to rise.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first distance H is measured by a distance measuring device arranged at the bottom of the drying rod assembly 130, the first distance is less than the distance between the current height position of the drying rod assembly 130 and the ground. The user's hand can be placed between the distance measuring device and the ground to control the movement of the drying rod assembly 130. If the drying rod assembly 130 is at the upper limit position, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to descend. If the drying rod assembly 130 is at the lower limit position, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to rise.

[0126] In some embodiments, based on the change trends of at least two first distances and the current state of the drying rod assembly 130, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to perform corresponding operations, including at least one of steps E1 to E2.

[0127] Step E1: If at least two first distances gradually decrease and the drying rod assembly 130 is in a non-upper limit position, control the drying rod assembly 130 to rise.

[0128] Step E2: If at least two first distances gradually increase and the drying rod assembly 130 is in a non-lower limit position, control the drying rod assembly 130 to descend.

[0129] Specifically, the user raises his hand or performs a downward gesture, so that at least two first distances gradually decrease or increase, thereby triggering the lifting and lowering of the drying rod assembly 130. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can determine that the first distance is rising when it is detected that the first distance continues to decrease (such as making a hand raising gesture); otherwise, it is determined to be falling.

[0130] In some embodiments, when the ranging device is arranged at the bottom of the main engine assembly 110, the drying rod assembly 130 is provided with a through hole that cooperates with the ranging device. When the drying rod assembly 130 is in a horizontal state, the first signal emitted by the ranging device passes through the through hole; when the drying rod assembly 130 is in an inclined state, the first signal emitted by the ranging device is reflected by the drying rod assembly 130.

[0131] Based on the current state of the drying rod assembly 130 and the first distance, the drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to perform corresponding operations, including:

[0132] If the difference between the first distance and the height distance of the current descent of the drying rod assembly 130 is not within the preset first threshold range, it is determined that the drying rod assembly 130 is tilted;

[0133] The drying rod assembly 130 is controlled to perform operations related to anti-tilting based on the current state of the drying rod assembly 130.

[0134] Optionally, the difference between the first distance H and the current descending height distance H1 of the drying rod assembly 130 is not within the preset first threshold range. At this time, H is not equal to H1, and H is definitely smaller than H2. It can be determined that the drying rod assembly 130 is tilted.

[0135] Since the clothes-drying rod assembly 130 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a through hole, when the clothes-drying rod assembly 130 is in a horizontal state, the first signal emitted by the distance measuring device passes through the through hole, and when the clothes-drying rod assembly 130 is in a tilted state, the first signal emitted by the distance measuring device is reflected by the clothes-drying rod assembly 130, so that it is possible to determine whether the clothes-drying rod assembly 130 is tilted based on the first distance, and then a tilt alarm can be issued.

[0136] The alarm device can be set on the clothes drying rod assembly 130 or the host assembly 110. The alarm device is configured to receive an alarm instruction sent by the main controller and alarm according to the alarm instruction. The main controller is configured to send an alarm instruction to the alarm device when it is determined that the clothes drying machine is in a tilted state. The alarm method can be a voice prompt, a buzzer sound, a prompt text display, etc.

[0137] As an example, in the embodiment of the present application, when the clothes-drying rod assembly 130 is in the hanging position where the user actively stops descending or triggers the lower limit stop, the motor stops (the main controller detects the stop signal), and the signal of the distance measuring device can smoothly pass through the through hole of the clothes-drying rod assembly 130 until it is reflected back from the ground. Assuming that the descending distance of the clothes-drying rod assembly 130 is the height distance H1 (the main controller can calculate it based on the average speed of the motor multiplied by the running time. If it descends directly to the lower limit, H1 defaults to the maximum stroke), when the distance measuring device measures the first distance H≈H1, it is determined that the tilt alarm is triggered.

[0138] In some embodiments, when the first distance H measured by the distance measurement is greater than or less than H1 and the measurement signal is satisfied to last for a certain period of time, it is determined that the drying rod assembly 130 is triggered to rise.

[0139] When the user is detected waving, the distance between the distance measuring device and the hand, this waving action can be on the upper side of the drying rod assembly 130 or on the lower side of the drying rod assembly 130, normally on the lower side of the drying rod assembly 130. The duration is set to avoid accidental touch. This operation needs to be triggered when the drying rod assembly 130 encounters an obstacle in other places, and it can be triggered in advance even if it is not touched. Although the drying rod assembly 130 may tilt after encountering an obstacle, a slight touch can also trigger the drying rod assembly 130 to perform the corresponding operation.

[0140] As an example, when the drying rod assembly 130 is in the upper limit position (the main controller detects the upper limit signal), the signal of the distance measuring device can smoothly pass through the through hole of the drying rod assembly 130 until it is reflected back from the ground. When the distance measurement measures the first distance H<H2 and the measurement signal continues for a certain period of time, it is determined that the drying rod assembly 130 is triggered to descend.

[0141] As an example, when the drying rod assembly 130 is in the process of rising / falling, the main controller detects the rising / falling signal of the motor. When the distance measurement measures the first distance H≠H2 and the measurement signal meets the requirement of lasting for a certain period of time, it is determined that the drying rod assembly 130 is triggered to stop. After stopping, if the first distance H≠H2 is measured again, the reverse action is implemented.

[0142] As an example, when the first distance H≠H2 is measured multiple times at short intervals, a specific action is triggered, such as an alarm, which can be prompted by turning on or off a light.

[0143] Existing clothes drying machines mainly control the raising and lowering of the drying rod assembly 130 by remote control, voice, light lifting, etc., which is complicated and laborious to operate. The control method of the clothes drying machine of the embodiment of the application can control the raising or lowering of the drying rod assembly 130 by waving to block the first signal, so as to reach a suitable clothes drying position or clothes collection position, which is labor-saving and convenient.
