[0032] The embodiment of the present application provides a clothes drying machine control device, which can be implemented by software, and is used for clothes drying machines, and is an electronic device on the clothes drying machines; the clothes drying machines may include a host, a clothes drying rack, and a control mechanism; the host is the power source of the clothes drying machine, and usually includes a motor, which is used to provide power to drive the lifting of the clothes drying rack, and the host can be fixed to a high position in the room such as the ceiling; the clothes drying rack is used to hang clothes, and under the action of the motor, it is supported on the host in a manner that it can rise or fall relative to the host; the control mechanism is used to control the operation of the motor. In other exemplary embodiments, the clothes drying machine may also include one or more functional component modules of a lighting module, a drying module, and a sterilization module. The control mechanism may also be electrically connected to the lighting module, the drying module, and the sterilization module to control each module to work. Among them, the lighting module, the drying module, and the sterilization module are all conventional functional modules in the field of clothes drying machines, and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, the control mechanism may include a processor and a memory; the memory stores instructions, and the instructions can realize the functions of the clothes drying machine control device when executed by the processor.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the clothes drying machine control device includes a first control module 100 and an execution module 101. Wherein:

[0035] The first control module 100 is used to control the functional components of the clothes drying machine to perform operations corresponding to the external information according to the received external information.

[0036] Exemplarily, the external information is information detected by a detection device such as a microwave sensor, an infrared sensor, a sound pickup device or a camera device that can detect human body movements, voices or human body positions.

[0037] The first control module 100 obtains the information detected by the detection device, and when the information is used to control the functional components of the clothes drying machine, the corresponding functional components are controlled based on the information to perform operations corresponding to the information. Taking the clothes drying rack as an example, when the clothes drying rack is in a descending state, the first control module 100 obtains information that a human body leaves a predetermined area near the clothes drying machine and leaves for a predetermined time, and the first control module 100 controls the clothes drying rack to rise based on the information that the human body leaves a predetermined area near the clothes drying machine and leaves for a predetermined time. In other embodiments, the lighting module, drying module and sterilization module can also be controlled to work based on the information that the human body leaves a predetermined area near the clothes drying machine and leaves for a predetermined time, wherein the first control module 100 controls the lighting module to turn on or off, or controls the drying module to perform drying work or stop drying work, or controls the sterilization module to perform sterilization work or stop sterilization work based on the information that the human body leaves a predetermined area near the clothes drying machine and leaves for a predetermined time.

[0038] The external information may be the user's operation information actively acquired by the first control module 100. For example, when the first control module 100 acquires human body information through the detection of the detection device, the human body information is matched with the pre-stored information stored in the clothes drying machine control device. When the human body information matches the pre-stored information, the functional components of the clothes drying machine are controlled to work according to the human body information. The human body information includes one or more of the position information of the human body around the clothes drying machine, the voice information used by the user to control the operation of the clothes drying machine, and the gesture information used to control the operation of the clothes drying machine.

[0039] The execution module 101 is used to stop calling the first control module 100 when the clothes drying machine is in the first working mode.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, the first working mode may be an exhibition working mode, in which the clothes drying machine is usually not required to respond to control operations of external information, and the clothes drying machine is only displayed statically. For example, when the clothes drying machine is displayed in an exhibition hall, the clothes drying machine may be set to an exhibition working mode. In this exhibition working mode, when the clothes drying rack is in a descending state and the first control module receives information that a human body has left a predetermined area near the clothes drying machine and has left for a predetermined time, the clothes drying rack will not automatically rise; when the clothes drying rack is in an ascending state and the first control module receives information that a human body has entered a predetermined area near the clothes drying machine and has entered for a predetermined time, the clothes drying rack will not automatically descend; thereby, it is possible to avoid the clothes drying rack frequently responding to human body information due to a large flow of people near the clothes drying machine in the exhibition hall, thereby causing the clothes drying rack to be frequently raised and lowered.

[0041] The clothes drying machine control device described in this embodiment can achieve that in the first working mode, the clothes drying machine does not respond to the received external information, avoids unnecessary operation control of the clothes drying machine, and improves the control efficiency of the clothes drying machine. The first working mode can be an exhibition working mode; when the clothes drying machine in the exhibition hall scene enters the exhibition working mode, the clothes drying machine control device can prevent the clothes drying machine from performing invalid operations due to receiving invalid external information.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, the clothes drying machine control device may further include a second control module; the second control module is different from the first control module, such as the functional components of the clothes drying machine controlled by the second control module and the first control module are different, exemplarily, the second control module is used to control the lighting function of the clothes drying machine, and the first control module is used to control the clothes drying rack lifting function of the clothes drying machine; or the second control module and the first control module receive different external information for triggering the functional components to perform corresponding operations; The execution module is further used to call the first control module and the second control module when the clothes drying machine is in a second working mode; the second working mode is also different from the first working mode.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, when the clothes drying machine is in the first working mode, some functions are blocked; when the clothes drying machine is in the second working mode, in addition to the blocked functions, new functions are added; the technical solution recorded in this embodiment can meet the usage requirements in different application scenarios and the usage requirements of different groups of people.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the first control module is used to control the functional components of the clothes drying machine to perform operations corresponding to the external information according to the received external information, including: controlling the clothes drying rack of the clothes drying machine to perform automatic lifting operations according to the received human body information; the second control module is used to control the functional components of the clothes drying machine to perform operations corresponding to the external control instructions according to the received external control instructions; the external control instructions include: external control instructions issued by one or more of the remote controller and the mobile terminal APP. Correspondingly, when the clothes drying machine is in the first working mode, it no longer responds to the received human body information, and no longer controls the clothes drying rack to perform automatic lifting operations according to the received human body information; when the clothes drying machine is in the second working mode, not only can the clothes drying rack of the clothes drying machine be controlled to perform automatic lifting operations according to the received human body information, but also the functional components of the clothes drying machine can be controlled to perform corresponding operations through the remote controller and / or the mobile terminal APP. Exemplarily, the first working mode is the exhibition working mode, and the second working mode is the home working mode. In the exhibition working mode, due to the coming and going of people, if the human information response function is turned on, the clothes dryer may be frequently misoperated, which will not only cause invalid energy loss, but also cause users to doubt the performance, reliability or overall value of the clothes dryer, resulting in reduced trust in the clothes dryer product; in the home working mode, there is no such coming and going of people, so the various functions of the clothes dryer can be turned on normally.

[0045] In the clothes drying machine exhibition hall, there may be a situation where the clothes drying racks of multiple clothes drying machines are at different heights, causing visual clutter. In order to make the large number of clothes drying racks on display look neat and beautiful, the shopping guide can operate the clothes drying racks one by one to make them stay at the same height, but this method is inefficient and inconvenient.

[0046] In order to improve the control efficiency of the clothes drying machine, in an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, any one of the clothes drying machine control device, the first control module and the second control module may include: a reset module 102, which is used to control the resetting of the functional components of the clothes drying machine when the functional components of the clothes drying machine are in an inoperative state within a preset time period; exemplarily, the preset time period may be 3-8 minutes; the resetting of the functional components generally refers to resetting the functional components to a factory setting state or an initial power-on state.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the reset module is used to control the resetting of the functional component, including: controlling the clothes drying rack to move to a specified height, controlling lighting to be turned off, controlling drying to be turned off, and controlling sterilization to be turned off.

[0048] The specified height may be a limit height; the limit height includes: an upper limit height or a lower limit height; the upper limit height refers to the highest position that the clothes drying rack can reach during the rising process, and the height can be adjusted by the limit switch of the clothes drying machine; the lower limit height refers to the lowest position that the clothes drying rack can reach during the descending process, and the position of the clothes drying rack after the clothes drying machine scissor rack is fully unfolded is usually taken as the lower limit height. The reset module can control the clothes drying rack in a non-operating state to move to the upper limit height or the lower limit height.

[0049] In the case where the specified height supports user setting, the specified height can be a memory height set by the user or any height selected from the limit height and the memory height; the memory height includes: an upper memory height or a lower memory height, wherein the lower memory height is less than the upper memory height. The relationship between the limit height and the memory height is: the upper memory height is less than the upper limit height, and the lower limit height is less than the lower memory height.

[0050] Based on the reset module recorded in the embodiment of the present application, the functions of functional components that are in an inoperative state within a preset time period can be automatically reset, saving manpower and improving operational efficiency; by shutting down functional components that are in an inoperative state through functional reset, the purpose of saving energy can also be achieved.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, the resetting module is used to control the clothes drying rack to move to a specified height, including: If there is a memorized height, controlling the clothes drying rack to move to the memorized height; In the absence of the memory height, the clothes drying rack is controlled to move to the limit height.

[0052] In this embodiment, the memory height set by the user is preferentially used as the target height for resetting the clothes drying rack, which is conducive to optimizing the user experience. For example, in a clothes drying machine exhibition hall, if the height of the exhibition hall is high, if the clothes drying rack is moved to the upper limit height, the visitors may only be able to see the outline of the clothes drying machine from a distance, and cannot see the details of the clothes drying machine; in this case, the clothes drying rack can be moved to a suitable upper memory height.

[0053] The present application also provides a clothes drying machine control device, which is applied to an electronic device on the clothes drying machine, such as Figure 3 As shown, the clothes drying machine control device includes: The acquisition module 300 is used to acquire human body information; the human body information includes one or more of the position information of the human body around the clothes drying machine, the voice information of the user for controlling the operation of the clothes drying machine, and the gesture information for controlling the operation of the clothes drying machine; The execution module 301 is used to control the functional components of the clothes drying machine to work in response to the human body information in the home working mode; and to control the functional components of the clothes drying machine not to work when the human body information is acquired in the exhibition working mode.

[0054] In the exhibition working mode, due to the coming and going of people, if the human body information response function is turned on, the clothes dryer may be frequently misoperated, which will not only cause invalid energy loss, but also cause users to doubt the performance, reliability or overall value of the clothes dryer, resulting in reduced trust in the clothes dryer product. In the home working mode, there is no such coming and going of people, so the human body information response function of the clothes dryer can be turned on.

[0055] In an exemplary implementation, the execution module is also used to control the resetting of the functional components of the clothes drying machine when the functional components of the clothes drying machine are in an inoperative state within a preset time period in the exhibition working mode; wherein, controlling the resetting of the functional components of the clothes drying machine includes one or more of controlling the clothes rack to move to a specified height, controlling the lighting to turn off, controlling the drying to turn off, and controlling the sterilization to turn off.

[0056] This embodiment automatically resets the functions of functional components that are in an inoperative state within a preset time period, saving manpower and improving operating efficiency; by shutting down functional components that are in an inoperative state through function reset, the purpose of saving energy consumption can also be achieved.

[0057] The present application also provides a clothes drying machine control device, which is an electronic device applied to the clothes drying machine. The module diagram of the clothes drying machine control device can be referred to as Figure 3 , including an acquisition module 300 and an execution module 301; The acquisition module 300 is used to acquire human body information; and The execution module 301 is used to control the functional components of the clothes drying machine to work according to the human body information in the home working mode; and to control the acquisition module not to acquire the human body information in the exhibition working mode.

[0058] In the exhibition working mode, due to the coming and going of people, if human body information is obtained, the clothes dryer may be frequently misoperated, which will not only cause invalid energy loss, but also cause users to doubt the performance, reliability or overall value of the clothes dryer, resulting in reduced trust in the clothes dryer product. In the home working mode, there is no such coming and going of people, so the clothes dryer can obtain human body information and turn on the human body information response function.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the execution module is also used to control the resetting of the functional components of the clothes drying machine when the functional components of the clothes drying machine are in an inoperative state within a preset time period in an exhibition working mode; wherein, controlling the resetting of the functional components of the clothes drying machine includes one or more of controlling the clothes drying rack to move to a specified height, controlling the lighting to turn off, controlling the drying to turn off, and controlling the sterilization to turn off.

[0060] This embodiment automatically resets the functions of functional components that are in an inoperative state within a preset time period, saving manpower and improving operating efficiency; by shutting down functional components that are in an inoperative state through function reset, the purpose of saving energy consumption can also be achieved.

[0061] The present application also provides a method for controlling a clothes drying machine. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes: Step S400: when the clothes drying machine is in the first working mode, stop calling the first control module; The first control module is used to control the functional components of the clothes drying machine to perform operations corresponding to the external information according to the received external information. The external information can be information detected by a detection device such as a microwave sensor, an infrared sensor, a sound pickup device or a camera device that can detect human motion, voice or human position.

[0062] Through the clothes drying machine control method described in this embodiment, it can be achieved that in the first working mode, the clothes drying machine does not respond to the received external information, thereby avoiding unnecessary operation control of the clothes drying machine and improving the control efficiency of the clothes drying machine.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the method further comprises: When the clothes drying machine is in the second working mode, calling the first control module and the second control module; The first control module is different from the second control module; for example, the functional components of the clothes drying machine controlled by the second control module and the first control module are different, for example, the second control module is used to control the lighting function of the clothes drying machine, and the first control module is used to control the lifting function of the clothes drying rack of the clothes drying machine; or the external information received by the second control module and the first control module for triggering the functional components to perform corresponding operations is different; The first working mode and the second working mode are different. The first working mode may be an exhibition working mode, and the second working mode may be a home working mode.

[0064] The first control module is used to control the functional components of the clothes drying machine to perform operations corresponding to the external information according to the received external information, including: controlling the clothes drying rack of the clothes drying machine to perform automatic lifting operations according to the received human body information; the human body information includes one or more of the position information of the human body around the clothes drying machine, the voice information used by the user to control the operation of the clothes drying machine, and the gesture information used to control the operation of the clothes drying machine.

[0065] The second control module is used to control the functional components of the clothes drying machine to perform operations corresponding to the external control instructions according to the received external control instructions; the external control instructions include: external control instructions issued through one or more methods of a remote control and a mobile APP.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, the method further comprises: When the clothes drying machine is in the first working mode or in the second working mode, if the functional components of the clothes drying machine are in an inoperative state within a preset time period, the functional components of the clothes drying machine are controlled to be reset.

[0067] The controlling the functional component resetting of the clothes drying machine comprises: One or more of controlling the clothes drying rack to move to a specified height, controlling lighting to be turned off, controlling drying to be turned off, and controlling sterilization to be turned off.

[0068] This embodiment automatically resets the functions of functional components that are in an inoperative state within a preset time period, saving manpower and improving operating efficiency; by shutting down functional components that are in an inoperative state through function reset, the purpose of saving energy consumption can also be achieved.

[0069] The present application also provides a method for controlling a clothes drying machine. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes: Step S500: obtaining human body information; the human body information includes one or more of the position information of the human body around the clothes drying machine, the voice information of the user for controlling the operation of the clothes drying machine, and the gesture information for controlling the operation of the clothes drying machine; Step S501 controls the functional components of the clothes drying machine to operate in response to the human body information in the home working mode; and controls the functional components of the clothes drying machine not to operate when the human body information is acquired in the exhibition working mode.

[0070] In the exhibition working mode, due to the coming and going of people, if the human body information response function is turned on, the clothes dryer may be frequently misoperated, which will not only cause invalid energy loss, but also cause users to doubt the performance, reliability or overall value of the clothes dryer, resulting in reduced trust in the clothes dryer product. In the home working mode, there is no such coming and going of people, so the human body information response function of the clothes dryer can be turned on.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, the method further comprises: In the exhibition working mode, when the functional components of the clothes drying machine are in an inoperative state within a preset time period, the functional components of the clothes drying machine are controlled to be reset, wherein controlling the functional components of the clothes drying machine to be reset includes one or more of controlling the clothes rack to move to a specified height, controlling the lighting to be turned off, controlling the drying to be turned off, and controlling the sterilization to be turned off.

[0072] This embodiment automatically resets the functions of functional components that are in an inoperative state within a preset time period, saving manpower and improving operating efficiency; by shutting down functional components that are in an inoperative state through function reset, the purpose of saving energy consumption can also be achieved.

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, the method further comprises: In the exhibition working mode, when the functional components of the clothes drying machine are in an inoperative state within a preset time period, the functional components of the clothes drying machine are controlled to be reset; wherein, controlling the functional components of the clothes drying machine to be reset includes one or more of controlling the clothes rack to move to a specified height, controlling the lighting to be turned off, controlling the drying to be turned off, and controlling the sterilization to be turned off.

[0076] This embodiment automatically resets the functions of functional components that are in an inoperative state within a preset time period, saving manpower and improving operating efficiency; by shutting down functional components that are in an inoperative state through function reset, the purpose of saving energy consumption can also be achieved.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, controlling the functional component of the clothes drying machine to reset includes: When the reset function is turned on, the functional components of the clothes drying machine are controlled to reset.

[0078] In an exemplary embodiment, the method of enabling the reset function includes: When the reset function is not enabled, a command code corresponding to the preset reset function is received to enable the reset function.

[0079] The command code corresponding to the preset reset function may be a command code specially set for the reset function.

[0080] Considering that the clothes drying machine supports limited command codes, the reset function can also reuse command codes with other functions of the clothes drying machine, and define command codes with different sending durations to distinguish different functions. Correspondingly, the activation method of the reset function includes: When the reset function is not enabled, if a command code corresponding to the preset reset function is received and the sending duration of the command code matches the sending duration of the command code corresponding to the preset reset function, the reset function is enabled.

[0081] In an exemplary embodiment, the command code corresponding to the reset function is the same as the command code corresponding to the self-test function of the clothes drying machine. Exemplarily, the sending duration of the command code corresponding to the self-test function is less than 10 seconds, and the sending duration of the command code corresponding to the reset function is greater than 10 seconds; when receiving the multiplexed command code of the reset function and the self-test function, if it is detected that the sending duration of the multiplexed command code is less than 10 seconds, the self-test function is turned on; if it is detected that the sending duration of the command code is greater than 10 seconds, the reset function is turned on.

[0082] Other functions except the self-test function, such as the clothes drying rack operation function, are frequently used in daily operations and a long press operation is more likely to occur when performing the corresponding operation; in this embodiment, the self-test function and the reset function are selected to reuse the command code because the self-test function is used less frequently and a long press operation is not required to normally turn on the self-test function, which can reduce the probability of misoperation.

[0083] In an exemplary embodiment, the method of closing the reset function of the clothes drying machine includes: When the reset function of the clothes drying machine is turned on, the reset function is turned off upon receiving a preset command code corresponding to the reset function. In this embodiment, after receiving the preset command code of the reset function, it is also necessary to combine the current turn-on state of the reset function of the clothes drying machine (turned on or off) to decide whether to turn on the reset function or turn off the reset function.

[0084] In an exemplary embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to know the enabling status of the reset function, different prompts may be given when the reset function is enabled and disabled, and the different prompting methods include one or more of the following: Different sound prompts, such as 3 beeps when the reset function is turned on and 2 beeps when the reset function is turned off; Different light prompts, such as flashing 3 times when the reset function is turned on and flashing 2 times when the reset function is turned off.

[0085] The following is a specific application example to illustrate the control scheme of the clothes drying machine recorded in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 shown.

If the self-check result shows that the function is abnormal, execute step S703; if the self-check result shows that the function is normal, execute step S704 or execute step S705; The operation under the self-check function is set by each clothes drying machine manufacturer, and the settings of different manufacturers may be different; Exemplarily, under the self-check function, the clothes drying rack is controlled to automatically rise to the upper limit height, then stand still for 30 seconds and then descend, and then descend to the lower limit height, then stand still for 30 seconds and then return to the upper limit height as one cycle; other functions supported by the clothes drying rack except the clothes drying rack lifting operation, such as lighting, sterilization, atmosphere light, air drying, and drying, are turned on for 10 seconds and then turned off for 10 seconds as another cycle; the two cycles are executed alternately until the corresponding number of cycles are completed; Step S703: turn off the self-check function, issue an alarm, and the process ends.

[0087] Step S704: Receive a working mode instruction, enter the first working mode, and stop calling the first control module, wherein the first control module is configured to control the functional components of the clothes drying machine to perform operations corresponding to the external information according to the received external information, and the process ends.

[0088] Step S705: Receive the working mode instruction, enter the second working mode, and call the first control module and the second control module; the second control module is used to control the functional components of the clothes drying machine to perform operations corresponding to the external control instructions according to the received external control instructions; the external control instructions include: external control instructions issued by one or more methods of the remote control and the mobile terminal APP; Step S706: receiving an external control instruction for controlling the lifting of the clothes drying rack, and operating the clothes drying rack; Step S707: When the reset function is activated, the timer starts from the end of the operation. If no control operation is detected on the clothes drying rack within the preset timer time of 5 minutes, step S708 is executed; if control operation is detected on the clothes drying rack within the preset timer time of 5 minutes, step S707 is continued; Step S708: Control the clothes drying rack to return to the upper limit height, and the process ends.
