[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The structural diagram of the clothes drying machine in the application scenario of the present application. The clothes drying machine described in the application scenario includes a host 1 and a telescopic clothes drying rod assembly 2 that can be raised and lowered. The host 1 controls the telescopic clothes drying rod assembly 2 to be raised and lowered. The telescopic clothes drying rod assembly 2 includes a main clothes drying rod 201, a telescopic clothes drying rod 202, and a telescopic quilt drying rod 203. The main clothes drying rod 201, the telescopic clothes drying rod 202, and the telescopic quilt drying rod 203 are all arranged horizontally. The telescopic clothes drying rod 202 includes a first telescopic clothes drying rod portion 2021 and a second telescopic clothes drying rod portion 2022. The first telescopic clothes drying rod portion 2021 and the second telescopic clothes drying rod portion 20 22 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the main drying rod 201, and the first telescopic drying rod part 2021 and the second telescopic drying rod part 2022 can be telescoped along the length direction of the main drying rod 201; the two ends of the telescopic quilt drying rod 203 are respectively connected to the first telescopic drying rod part 2021 and the second telescopic drying rod part 2022, and the telescopic quilt drying rod 203 is extended or shortened along the direction parallel to the length of the main drying rod 201 under the traction of the first telescopic drying rod part 2021 and the second telescopic drying rod part 2022.

[0020] There are many ways to achieve the telescopic expansion of the first telescopic drying rod 2021 and the second telescopic drying rod 2022 along the length direction of the main drying rod 201, which are not limited here. In one embodiment, the first telescopic drying rod 2021 and the second telescopic drying rod 2022 are respectively movably installed in the main drying rod 201, and can be driven by a motor to expand and contract along the length direction of the main drying rod, so as to extend or retract from both ends of the main drying rod 201 respectively.

[0021] The telescopic quilt-drying rod 203 is a telescopic drying rod, and there are many specific design methods, which are not limited here. In one embodiment, the telescopic quilt-drying rod 203 may include two or more sections of a drying rod component, and these drying rod components are movably connected and can slide relatively along the length direction of the drying rod component, so that the telescopic quilt-drying rod 203 can be extended under the tension of an external force or shortened under the compression of an external force. In this embodiment, the telescopic quilt-drying rod 203 is extended synchronously with the extension of the telescopic drying rod 202, and shortened synchronously with the contraction of the telescopic drying rod 202, under the traction of the telescopic first telescopic drying rod part 2021 and the second telescopic drying rod part 2022.

[0022] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, one end of the telescopic quilt drying rod 203 is connected to the first telescopic drying rod 2021 through a first connecting component 204, and the other end is connected to the second telescopic drying rod 2022 through a second connecting component 205. The first connecting component 204 and the second connecting component 205 can be flexible connecting components or movable arms, etc. In one embodiment, the first connecting component 204 is rotatably connected to the first telescopic drying rod 2021, and the second connecting component 205 is rotatably connected to the second telescopic drying rod 2022, so that the telescopic quilt drying rod 203 can rotate with the main drying rod 201 as the axis.

[0023] In one embodiment, the first connecting component 204 and the second connecting component 205 can also be respectively adopting liftable connecting components, and the host controls the first connecting component 204 and the second connecting component 205 to be lifted and lowered, thereby controlling the telescopic quilt drying rod 203 to be lifted and lowered.

[0024] In this embodiment, the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod can be used to hang clothes or quilts respectively, and the telescopic quilt drying rod is generally used specifically for hanging quilts.

[0025] In this embodiment, the clothes drying machine can control the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise and fall. Generally speaking, when drying clothes, the user first lowers the telescopic drying rod assembly to a height that the user can reach to hang the clothes, and then controls the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise to the drying height for drying. If there is no need to dry clothes (for example, the user removes the clothes that have been dried from the drying rod), the user needs to control the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise to the highest drying position to avoid taking up space.

[0026] In this embodiment, the clothes drying machine is a ceiling-mounted clothes drying machine, which is used to be installed on the top of a room, and is fixed to the ceiling of the room through its main unit. The telescopic drying rod assembly can be lowered from the main unit on the top to be in a suspended state, and can also be raised to the highest position for drying to be in a storage state. In other embodiments, the clothes drying machine can also be a floor-standing clothes drying machine or a wall-mounted clothes drying machine.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a clothes drying machine control method, which is applied to the clothes drying machine, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0028] S101: In response to a telescopic clothes-drying rod assembly rising instruction, obtaining the loading status of the main clothes-drying rod, the telescopic clothes-drying rod and the telescopic quilt-drying rod;

[0029] S102: If any one of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod is in a loaded state, controlling the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise to a preset drying height;

[0030] S103: If the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod are all in an unloaded state, controlling the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise to a preset highest drying position.

[0031] The clothes drying machine control method described in the embodiment of the present application, when receiving the command of the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise issued by the user, obtains the loading status of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod; if any one of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod is in a loaded state, controls the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise to a preset drying height; if the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod are all in an unloaded state, controls the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise to a preset highest drying position. The height of the telescopic drying rod assembly can be automatically controlled according to the loading status of each part of the drying rod, without the need for the user to make judgments and perform complex control operations, giving the user a more convenient and intelligent experience.

[0032] For step S101, in response to the telescopic clothes-drying rod assembly rising instruction, the loading status of the main clothes-drying rod, the telescopic clothes-drying rod and the telescopic quilt-drying rod is obtained.

[0033] The telescopic drying rod assembly rising instruction is triggered by a user operation, and specifically, the telescopic drying rod assembly rising instruction can be triggered by a dedicated remote control or a smart phone.

[0034] The loading state includes a loaded state and an unloaded state.

[0035] In this step, the clothes drying machine detects the loading status of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod. There are many detection methods and there is no limitation.

[0036] In one embodiment, the clothes drying machine includes a camera module, and the camera module is used to capture working status images of the main clothes drying rod, the telescopic clothes drying rod, and the telescopic quilt drying rod;

[0037] The step of obtaining the loading status of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod in response to the telescopic drying rod assembly rising instruction in step S101 includes:

[0038] Step S1011: in response to the telescopic clothes-drying rod assembly rising instruction, obtaining working state images of the main clothes-drying rod, the telescopic clothes-drying rod and the telescopic quilt-drying rod through the camera module;

[0039] Step S1012: According to the working status image, the loading status of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod is identified.

[0040] Among them, the camera module may include one or more cameras, which may be set on the main host and shoot towards the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod, or may be set on the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod and shoot the corresponding drying rods.

[0041] In this embodiment, the clothes drying machine responds to the instruction to raise the telescopic drying rod assembly, turns on the camera module to shoot, obtains the working state images of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod, and through the detection method of image recognition, can more accurately obtain the loading state of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod, and determine whether the drying rod is loaded with clothes. In one embodiment, when performing image recognition based on the working state image, it is identified whether the working state image meets the image feature of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod or the telescopic quilt drying rod drying clothes; if so, it is determined that the corresponding main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod or the telescopic quilt drying rod is in a loaded state, otherwise if any of the drying rods does not meet the image feature of drying clothes, it is determined that the corresponding drying rod is in an unloaded state.

[0042] In another embodiment, the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod are respectively provided with a first load sensor, a second load sensor and a third load sensor;

[0043] The step of obtaining the loading status of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod in response to the telescopic drying rod assembly rising instruction in step S101 includes:

[0044] Step S1013: Obtain the load data detected by the first load sensor, the second load sensor and the third load sensor. If the load data of the first load sensor, the second load sensor or the third load sensor is greater than a preset load threshold, determine that the corresponding main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod or the telescopic quilt drying rod is in a loaded state. If the load data of the first load sensor, the second load sensor or the third load sensor is not greater than the preset load threshold, determine that the corresponding main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod or the telescopic quilt drying rod is in an unloaded state.

[0045] Among them, the first load sensor, the second load sensor and the third load sensor are respectively used to detect the loading status of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod. Specifically, sensors such as pressure sensors or gravity sensors can be used, and other sensors that can detect the loading status can also be used, and there is no limitation to this.

[0046] In this embodiment, the clothes drying machine detects the loading status of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod through a load sensor, which can save the cost of implementing the image recognition algorithm compared to image recognition detection by a camera module.

[0047] In one embodiment, in order to ensure the accuracy of the detection, the camera module and the load sensor can be used for detection at the same time. When any one of the detection conditions is met, that is, the working status image of the clothes-drying rod meets the load image characteristics, or the load data is greater than the preset load threshold, the clothes-drying rod is judged to be in a loaded state. When neither of the detection conditions is met, it is judged to be in an unloaded state, so as to avoid misjudging the load state of the clothes-drying rod as an unloaded state, resulting in improper control.

[0048] For step S102, if any one of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic drying rod is in a loaded state, the telescopic drying rod assembly is controlled to rise to a preset drying height.

[0049] Wherein, the preset drying height can be set according to the situation.

[0050] In this step, it is determined that any one of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod is in a load state, indicating that clothes need to be dried at this time, and the telescopic drying rod assembly is controlled to rise to a preset drying height for drying.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, if any one of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod is in a loaded state, the step of controlling the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise to a preset drying height in step S102 includes:

[0052] Step S1021: If the telescopic drying rod is in an unloaded state, and the main drying rod and / or the telescopic quilt drying rod are in a loaded state, the telescopic drying rod is controlled to retract into the main drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod is pulled to shorten to a first preset length, and the telescopic drying rod assembly is controlled to rise to the preset drying height.

[0053] The first preset length can be set according to the situation. In the present embodiment, the first preset length is the length of the telescopic quilt drying rod when it is retracted to the storage state.

[0054] In this embodiment, if the main drying rod and / or the telescopic quilt drying rod is in a loaded state, but the telescopic drying rod is in an unloaded state, the telescopic drying rod is first retracted (which will also drive the telescopic quilt drying rod to retract), and then the telescopic drying rod assembly is controlled to rise to the preset drying height, so as to avoid the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod from unnecessarily occupying too much space and reduce the accidents of collision between the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod.

[0055] In one embodiment, if any one of the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod is in a loaded state, the step of controlling the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise to a preset drying height in step S102 includes:

[0056] Step S1022: If the telescopic drying rod is in a loaded state, directly control the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise to a preset drying height.

[0057] Similarly, in this embodiment, if the telescopic drying rod is in a loaded state, no matter what the loading state of the other main drying rod or the telescopic quilt drying rod is, the telescopic drying rod will not be controlled to retract (nor will it drive the telescopic quilt drying rod to retract), thereby maintaining the load capacity of the telescopic drying rod for clothes, and only controlling the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise to the preset drying height.

[0058] For step S103, if the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod are all in an unloaded state, the telescopic drying rod assembly is controlled to rise to a preset highest drying position.

[0059] Wherein, the preset highest drying position can be set according to the situation.

[0060] In this step, the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod are all in an unloaded state, that is, no clothes are hung on them, so the telescopic drying rod assembly is controlled to rise to a preset highest drying position, which is the storage height of the telescopic drying rod assembly. When the telescopic drying rod assembly rises to the highest drying position, it enters the storage state.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, if the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod are all in an unloaded state in step S103, the step of controlling the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise to a preset highest drying position includes:

[0062] Step S1031: If the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod are all in an unloaded state, control the telescopic drying rod to retract into the main drying rod and pull the telescopic quilt drying rod to shorten to a first preset length, and control the telescopic drying rod assembly to rise to a preset highest drying position.

[0063] In this embodiment, the clothes drying machine is a ceiling-mounted clothes drying machine. If the telescopic clothes drying rod is in an extended state when the clothes drying rod is raised to the highest drying position for storage, it is very likely to collide with the ceiling device in the room. Therefore, if the main clothes drying rod, the telescopic clothes drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod are all in an unloaded state, the telescopic clothes drying rod is first controlled to retract (which also drives the telescopic quilt drying rod to retract), and then the telescopic clothes drying rod assembly is controlled to rise to the preset highest drying position, so as to avoid such a situation. In addition, in the design of some clothes drying machines, a storage device for the telescopic clothes drying rod assembly is provided on the main machine of the clothes drying machine (the storage position of the storage device is the highest drying position at this time), and the telescopic clothes drying rod assembly can only be raised to the storage device after the telescopic clothes drying rod of the telescopic clothes drying rod assembly is retracted, so as to avoid the collision between the telescopic clothes drying rod and the storage device and cause damage to the equipment.

[0064] In one embodiment, if the main drying rod, the telescopic drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod are all in an unloaded state, the telescopic drying rod is controlled to retract into the main drying rod and the telescopic quilt drying rod is pulled to shorten to a first preset length, and then the telescopic quilt drying rod is controlled to rise to a distance less than a preset distance from the telescopic drying rod, thereby reducing the space occupied by the telescopic quilt drying rod.

[0065] In one embodiment, the step of controlling the telescopic drying rod to retract into the main drying rod comprises:

[0066] If the resistance data of the telescopic drying rod when it is retracted is greater than a first preset resistance threshold, the telescopic drying rod is controlled to stop retracting.

[0067] In the present embodiment, when the telescopic drying rod is controlled to retract, the resistance data encountered by the telescopic drying rod is detected. Obviously, in the present embodiment, the resistance data includes the resistance encountered by the telescopic drying rod itself and the resistance encountered by the telescopic quilt drying rod that is connected to the telescopic drying rod and retracts synchronously. If the resistance data during retraction is greater than the first preset resistance threshold, it means that there are still loaded clothes on the telescopic drying rod or there are loaded quilts or clothes on the telescopic quilt drying rod. Therefore, the telescopic drying rod is controlled to stop retracting to avoid damaging the clothes being dried and damaging the equipment.

[0068] In one embodiment, if the resistance data of the telescopic drying rod assembly when it is rising is greater than a second preset resistance threshold, the telescopic drying rod assembly is controlled to stop rising.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the telescopic drying rod assembly rises, if the resistance data detected is greater than the second preset resistance threshold, it may collide with the ceiling device in the room. At this time, it is controlled to stop rising to avoid damage to the ceiling device and the clothes drying machine.

[0070] Among them, in this embodiment, the resistance data encountered by the clothes-drying rod can be determined according to the change of the working current of the motor. Generally speaking, when the working voltage of the motor is stable, if the working current of the motor increases, it means that the motor load has become heavier. Based on this, it can be inferred whether the clothes-drying rod driven by the motor encounters resistance.

[0071] Specifically, in one embodiment, the host includes a first controller and a first motor, the first controller is connected to the first motor; the first controller controls the first motor to drive the telescopic drying rod assembly to be raised and lowered; the telescopic drying rod assembly includes a second controller and a second motor, the second controller is connected to the second motor, and the second controller is connected to the first controller; the second controller controls the second motor to drive the telescopic drying rod to be extended and retracted;

[0072] The method further comprises the steps of:

[0073] Detecting the operating current of the first motor by the first controller, and detecting the operating current of the second motor by the second controller;

[0074] According to the working current of the first motor, the resistance data of the telescopic drying rod assembly when rising or falling is calculated; according to the working current of the second motor, the resistance data of the telescopic drying rod when extending or retracting is calculated.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first motor is used to drive the telescopic clothes-drying rod assembly to rise and fall, and the second motor is used to drive the telescopic clothes-drying rod to extend and retract. The resistance data encountered by the telescopic clothes-drying rod assembly when rising or falling can be calculated based on the working current of the first motor, and the resistance data encountered by the telescopic clothes-drying rod and the telescopic clothes-drying quilt rod when extending or retracting can be calculated based on the working current of the second motor. Specifically, generally, when the weight of the load of the telescopic clothes-drying rod assembly is stable, the working current of the first motor should also be stable. When it is detected that the working current of the first motor gradually increases, it means that resistance is encountered at this time. Therefore, the resistance data size can be calculated based on the change characteristics of the working current; similarly, when the weight of the load of the telescopic clothes-drying rod and the telescopic clothes-drying quilt rod is stable, the working current of the second motor should also be stable. When it is detected that the working current of the second motor gradually increases, it means that resistance is encountered at this time. Therefore, the resistance data size can be calculated based on the change characteristics of the working current.

[0076] In one embodiment, the method further comprises the steps of:

[0077] Step S104: In response to the telescopic clothes-drying rod assembly descending instruction, after controlling the telescopic clothes-drying rod assembly to descend to a preset height, controlling the telescopic clothes-drying rod to extend from the main clothes-drying rod to a preset length and pulling the telescopic clothes-drying rod to extend to a second preset length.

[0078] Wherein, the telescopic drying rod assembly descending instruction is triggered by user operation.

[0079] The second preset length can be set according to the situation. In the present embodiment, the second preset length is the length of the telescopic quilt drying rod when it is extended to the state where the quilt is hung.

[0080] The preset height can be set according to the situation. In the present embodiment, it is a height to prevent the telescopic clothes-drying rod and the telescopic quilt-drying rod from colliding with objects high up in the room, such as a ceiling device in the room. Therefore, its height is lower than objects high up in the room.

[0081] In this embodiment, when a command to lower the telescopic clothes-drying rod assembly is received from the user, the telescopic clothes-drying rod assembly is first controlled to descend to a preset safety height, and then the telescopic clothes-drying rod is controlled to extend, so as to avoid extending the telescopic clothes-drying rod first and causing the extended telescopic clothes-drying rod and the telescopic quilt rod to collide with the ceiling device or other objects high up in the room during the descent process.

[0082] In one embodiment, in response to the telescopic drying rod assembly descending instruction, after controlling the telescopic drying rod assembly to descend to a preset height, the step of controlling the telescopic drying rod to extend a preset length from the main drying rod comprises:

[0083] Step S1041: If the resistance data of the telescopic clothes-drying rod when being extended is greater than a third preset resistance threshold, the telescopic clothes-drying rod is controlled to stop being extended.

[0084] Similarly, in this embodiment, the telescopic clothes drying rod stops when encountering an obstacle during the extension process to avoid colliding with other objects in the room.

[0085] An embodiment of the present application further provides a clothes drying machine, comprising a processor and a memory storing a computer program; when the computer program is executed by the processor, the steps of the method described in any one of the above embodiments are implemented.

[0086] It should be noted that the clothes drying machine described in this embodiment is consistent with the technical concept of the clothes drying machine disclosed in the above embodiments.
