Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of fabric processing, and in particular to a drying method and drying equipment. Background Art
[0002] Fabric processing equipment on the market, such as washing machines and dryers, can dry fabrics, so that fabrics with high water content can be worn directly after drying, meeting users' needs for fabric processing.
[0003] During the process of drying fabrics, as the moisture content of the fabrics decreases, wrinkles are likely to appear on the fabrics. After drying, the wrinkles are difficult to remove. If the wrinkles are severe, the user will not be able to wear the fabrics directly, reducing the drying effect. Summary of the invention
[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide a drying method and a drying device to at least solve the technical problem of poor drying effect.
[0005] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a drying method is provided, which is applied to a drying device, and the method comprises: Acquiring fabric information of the fabric to be dried, wherein the fabric information includes fabric material and target weight; Predicting the flatness of the fabric to be dried after drying according to the fabric material and the target weight, wherein different fabric materials and target weights are preset with different flatness conditions; The drying equipment is controlled to perform corresponding equipment actions according to the flatness condition.
[0006] With this embodiment, on the one hand, the flatness of the fabric to be dried when drying is completed can be predicted based on the fabric information, so that the user can obtain the flatness before drying is completed, which is convenient for the user to adjust the fabric to be dried or the drying equipment according to the flatness, so that the wrinkle degree of the fabric to be dried after drying is completed is reduced, thereby improving the drying effect. On the other hand, the drying equipment can perform corresponding equipment actions based on the flatness, so as to reduce the wrinkle degree of the fabric to be dried when drying is completed through the equipment action, thereby improving the drying effect.
[0007] In combination with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, obtaining fabric information of the fabric to be dried includes: The actual weight of the fabric to be dried is obtained, and a target weight for predicting the fabric to be dried is determined according to a matching condition between the actual weight and a plurality of preset correction weights.
[0008] In combination with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, predicting the flatness of the fabric to be dried after drying is completed according to the fabric material and the target weight includes: If the target weight is within the preset weight range corresponding to the fabric material, a target flatness value of the fabric to be dried is determined, wherein the flatness condition includes the target flatness value. If the target weight is not within the weight range corresponding to the fabric material, the target flatness value is not generated.
[0009] Using this implementation method, the degree of wrinkles on the fabric due to drying is related to the fabric material and weight. Therefore, predicting the flatness by the fabric material and actual weight is conducive to improving the accuracy of the flatness, thereby increasing the positive impact of controlling the drying equipment to execute equipment actions on the drying effect, thereby improving the drying effect.
[0010] In combination with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, controlling the drying device to perform corresponding device actions according to the flatness condition includes: If the target flatness value is determined, the drying device is controlled to execute a preset drying process or the drying device is controlled to display the target flatness value and execute the drying process; If the target flatness value is not determined, the drying device is controlled to sound an alarm, wherein if the target weight is not within the weight interval corresponding to the fabric material, the target flatness value is not generated.
[0011] With this implementation, when the target weight is within the weight interval, the target flatness value can be obtained. At this time, the drying process is executed or the target flatness value is displayed and the drying process is executed, which can ensure that the wrinkles of the fabric to be dried are small after the drying is completed, thereby improving the drying effect. When the target weight is not within the weight interval, the target flatness value will not be generated. At this time, an alarm is issued, which helps to remind the user to adjust the drying parameters of the fabric to be dried or the drying equipment to reduce the wrinkles of the fabric to be dried after the drying is completed, thereby improving the drying effect.
[0012] In combination with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, if the target weight is not within the weight range corresponding to the fabric material, the method further includes: After the fabric to be dried is at least partially taken out of the drying device, the actual weight of the fabric to be dried is re-obtained, and the flatness is re-predicted based on the fabric material of the fabric to be dried and the re-obtained actual weight, so as to control the drying device to perform corresponding equipment actions according to the re-predicted flatness.
[0013] With this implementation, if the fabric to be dried is partially taken out of the drying device, the actual weight of the fabric to be dried will become smaller. Since the smaller the weight, the less likely wrinkles will appear, the flatness is re-predicted so that the user can adjust the weight of the fabric to be dried to a state where wrinkles are less likely to appear or the degree of wrinkles is smaller, so that the wrinkle condition of the fabric to be dried after drying is met by the user's expectations, thereby improving the drying effect and user experience.
[0014] In combination with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, controlling the drying device to execute a preset drying process or controlling the drying device to display the target flatness value and execute the drying process includes: If the target flatness value is the maximum flatness value, executing the drying process; If the target flatness value is not the maximum flatness value, displaying the target flatness value and determining whether a confirmation signal indicating confirmation of drying is received; If the confirmation signal is received, the drying process is executed; otherwise, the target flatness value is displayed or an alarm is given, or the drying process is abandoned after a preset target time.
[0015] With this implementation, if the target flatness value is the maximum flatness value, it is proved that after the predicted drying is completed, the wrinkle degree of the fabric to be dried is the minimum, and the drying process is directly executed at this time, which is convenient for improving the drying efficiency and simplifying the user's operation. If the target flatness value is not the maximum flatness value, the target flatness value is displayed, so that when the user triggers the confirmation signal, the drying process is executed, so that the user can get the wrinkle degree that he can accept, and improve the user's experience.
[0016] In combination with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, determining the target weight for predicting the fabric to be dried according to the matching between the actual weight and a plurality of preset correction weights includes: If the actual weight is the same as any one of the correction weights, the correction weight that is the same as the actual weight is determined as the target weight; If the actual weight is different from any of the correction weights, the correction weight having the smallest absolute value of the difference from the actual weight is determined as the target weight.
[0017] The implementation method is equivalent to correcting the actual weight of the fabric to be dried, so that the flatness of the fabric to be dried can be predicted, thereby increasing the probability of successful prediction.
[0018] In combination with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, each of the fabric materials corresponds to a corresponding weight interval, the weight interval includes a plurality of weight sub-intervals, and each of the weight sub-intervals is pre-associated with a flatness value; If the target weight is within the preset weight range corresponding to the fabric material, determining the target flatness value of the fabric to be dried includes: Comparing the target weight with the weight sub-interval corresponding to the fabric material to determine the weight sub-interval in which the target weight is located; Using the flatness value associated with the weight sub-interval where the target weight is located as the target flatness value of the fabric to be dried; The greater the weight contained in the weight sub-interval, the smaller the associated flatness value.
[0019] By adopting this implementation method, it is convenient to output different target flatness values, so that the user can know the degree of wrinkles of the fabric to be dried after drying is completed.
[0020] In combination with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the fabric information includes the fabric material and the actual weight of the fabric to be dried; The predicting the flatness of the fabric to be dried after drying is completed according to the fabric material and the target weight includes: Determining that the actual weight is within a preset weight interval corresponding to the fabric material; The flatness value associated with the weight interval in which the actual weight is located is used as the target flatness value of the fabric to be dried, wherein the flatness condition includes the target flatness value, If the target weight is not within the weight range corresponding to the fabric material, the target flatness value is not generated.
[0021] With this implementation, there is a weight interval corresponding to the fabric material. Once the material of the fabric to be dried is determined, it can be determined within which weight interval the actual weight falls corresponding to the material of the fabric to be dried. The flatness value of the weight interval is used as the target flatness value, thereby improving the prediction efficiency of the flatness value.
[0022] In combination with the first aspect, in an optional implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: Acquiring an image of the fabric to be dried; The fabric material is identified according to the image.
[0023] By adopting this implementation method, the fabric material can be automatically identified and obtained, thereby improving the automation level of the drying equipment, reducing the user's operation, and improving the user's experience.
[0024] In combination with the first aspect, in an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, before obtaining fabric information of the fabric to be dried, the method further includes: Determine whether it is necessary to predict the flatness condition; If yes, the step of acquiring fabric information of the fabric to be dried is performed; otherwise, the preset drying process is performed.
[0025] With this embodiment, if there is a need to predict the flatness, the subsequent steps will be executed. If not, the drying process will be directly executed, which is beneficial to improving drying efficiency and reducing user operations, thereby improving user experience.
[0026] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a drying device is provided, comprising a drying program, wherein the drying device performs the above-mentioned drying method when executing the drying program.

[0028] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a drying method provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 It is a flow chart of a drying method provided in an embodiment of the present application in a specific application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0030] It should be understood that the "plurality" mentioned in this article refers to two or more. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in order to facilitate the clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, the words "first", "second" and so on are used to distinguish between the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and effects. Those skilled in the art can understand that the words "first", "second" and so on do not limit the quantity and execution order, and the words "first", "second" and so on do not limit certain different In addition, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements explicitly listed, but may include other steps or elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.
[0031] The existing washing and drying machines and clothes dryers all have a problem. The heavier the weight of the clothes being dried, the worse the flatness of the clothes. When users use a machine with a drying function, the purpose is to quickly dry the clothes and wear them. However, in fact, the existing machines with a drying function in the industry cannot control the problem of the flatness of heavy clothes, and the wrinkles on the clothes after drying are difficult to iron flat with an iron. The problem of not being able to control the flatness of the dried clothes is inconsistent with the user's use of the machine with a drying function. Therefore, a drying control method is proposed to address this phenomenon. Before drying, the user is reminded of the possible flatness of the clothes after drying, which is convenient for the user to control the flatness of the clothes after drying, so that the user can wear the clothes after drying, thereby improving the user's experience of using the machine with a drying function.
[0032] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a drying method and a drying device, which at least solve the following problems: Aiming at the problem that the flatness of clothes after drying is uncontrollable when users use a drying machine with a drying function, a drying control method is proposed to estimate the flatness of clothes after drying, so that the flatness of clothes after drying is under the control of users, thereby improving the user experience.
[0033] At least have the following characteristics: The camera recognition method is used to detect the material of the clothes put into the washing machine, and then the weighing function is used to determine the flatness of the clothes of this material after drying. This helps users control the flatness of the clothes after drying and achieve the purpose of wearing them after drying.
[0034] Next, a drying method provided in an embodiment of the present application is further described. The drying method is applied to a drying device, referring to Figure 1 The schematic flow chart of the drying method shown in FIG. 1 includes the following processing steps.
[0035] S100: Acquire fabric information of fabric to be dried.
[0036] In one embodiment, the fabric to be dried refers to the fabric located in the drying device or needs to be dried. The fabric to be dried may be clothing, or may be a hat, a shoe, or other fabric, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0037] In one embodiment, fabric information refers to information related to the fabric to be dried, such as the quantity, volume, weight, material, etc. of the fabric to be dried, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. It should be noted that in order to accurately predict the wrinkles that appear on the fabric to be dried after drying, the fabric information preferably includes information related to the wrinkles, such as material and weight. Preferably, the fabric information includes fabric material and target weight.
[0038] S102: predicting the flatness of the fabric to be dried after drying is completed according to the fabric material and the target weight.
[0039] Different fabric materials and target weights are preset with different flatness conditions.
[0040] In one embodiment, the wrinkles generated after drying may be different due to different fabric information, but the occurrence of wrinkles and the severity of wrinkles have a linear relationship with the fabric information. Therefore, after the fabric information of the fabric to be dried is determined, the flatness can be predicted according to the fabric information according to the linear relationship. The linear relationship is, for example, the relationship between weight and wrinkles, specifically, the greater the weight, the easier it is to have wrinkles and the more severe the wrinkles.
[0041] In one embodiment, the flatness condition refers to the flatness of the fabric to be dried after drying. The higher the flatness, the lower the wrinkle degree. Conversely, the lower the flatness, the higher the wrinkle degree. Specifically, the flatness condition can be a flatness value or a flatness grade, as long as it can characterize the flatness condition of the fabric to be dried after drying. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.
[0042] S104: Control the drying equipment to perform corresponding equipment actions according to the flatness condition.
[0043] In one embodiment, the drying device performs different device actions for different flatness conditions. It should be noted that the device action should help reduce the wrinkles of the fabric to be dried when drying is completed. For example, when the flatness condition is poor, the device action may be to remind the user to reduce the weight of the fabric to be dried, or to automatically reduce the weight of the fabric to be dried (for example, to dehydrate the fabric to be dried). When the flatness condition is good, the device action may be to dry the fabric to be dried.
[0044] With this embodiment, on the one hand, the flatness of the fabric to be dried when drying is completed can be predicted based on the fabric information, so that the user can obtain the flatness before drying is completed, which is convenient for the user to adjust the fabric to be dried or the drying equipment according to the flatness, so that the wrinkle degree of the fabric to be dried after drying is completed is reduced, thereby improving the drying effect. On the other hand, the drying equipment can perform corresponding equipment actions based on the flatness, so as to reduce the wrinkle degree of the fabric to be dried when drying is completed through the equipment action, thereby improving the drying effect.
[0045] In a possible embodiment of the present application, obtaining fabric information of the fabric to be dried includes: The actual weight of the fabric to be dried is obtained, and a target weight for predicting the fabric to be dried is determined according to a matching condition between the actual weight and a plurality of preset correction weights.
[0046] The predicting the flatness of the fabric to be dried after drying is completed according to the fabric material and the target weight includes: If the target weight is within the preset weight range corresponding to the fabric material, a target flatness value of the fabric to be dried is determined, wherein the flatness condition includes the target flatness value. If the target weight is not within the weight range corresponding to the fabric material, the target flatness value is not generated.
[0047] Using this implementation method, the degree of wrinkles on the fabric due to drying is related to the fabric material and weight. Therefore, predicting the flatness by the fabric material and actual weight is conducive to improving the accuracy of the flatness, thereby increasing the positive impact of controlling the drying equipment to execute equipment actions on the drying effect, thereby improving the drying effect.
[0048] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, controlling the drying device to perform corresponding device actions according to the flatness condition includes: If the target flatness value is determined, the drying device is controlled to execute a preset drying process or the drying device is controlled to display the target flatness value and execute the drying process; If the target flatness value is not determined, the drying device is controlled to sound an alarm, wherein if the target weight is not within the weight interval corresponding to the fabric material, the target flatness value is not generated.
[0049] With this implementation, when the target weight is within the weight interval, the target flatness value can be obtained. At this time, the drying process is executed or the target flatness value is displayed and the drying process is executed, which can ensure that the wrinkles of the fabric to be dried are small after the drying is completed, thereby improving the drying effect. When the target weight is not within the weight interval, the target flatness value will not be generated. At this time, an alarm is issued, which helps to remind the user to adjust the drying parameters of the fabric to be dried or the drying equipment to reduce the wrinkles of the fabric to be dried after the drying is completed, thereby improving the drying effect.
[0050] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, if the target weight is not within the weight range corresponding to the fabric material, the method further includes: After the fabric to be dried is at least partially taken out of the drying device, the actual weight of the fabric to be dried is re-obtained, and the flatness is re-predicted based on the fabric material of the fabric to be dried and the re-obtained actual weight, so as to control the drying device to perform corresponding equipment actions according to the re-predicted flatness.
[0051] With this implementation, if the fabric to be dried is partially taken out of the drying device, the actual weight of the fabric to be dried will become smaller. Since the smaller the weight, the less likely wrinkles will appear, the flatness is re-predicted so that the user can adjust the weight of the fabric to be dried to a state where wrinkles are less likely to appear or the degree of wrinkles is smaller, so that the wrinkle condition of the fabric to be dried after drying is met by the user's expectations, thereby improving the drying effect and user experience.
[0052] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, controlling the drying device to execute a preset drying process or controlling the drying device to display the target flatness value and execute the drying process includes: If the target flatness value is the maximum flatness value, executing the drying process; If the target flatness value is not the maximum flatness value, displaying the target flatness value and determining whether a confirmation signal indicating confirmation of drying is received; If the confirmation signal is received, the drying process is executed; otherwise, the target flatness value is displayed or an alarm is given, or the drying process is abandoned after a preset target time.
[0053] In one embodiment, the maximum flatness values corresponding to different fabric materials may be different.
[0054] With this implementation, if the target flatness value is the maximum flatness value, it is proved that after the predicted drying is completed, the wrinkle degree of the fabric to be dried is the minimum, and the drying process is directly executed at this time, which is convenient for improving the drying efficiency and simplifying the user's operation. If the target flatness value is not the maximum flatness value, the target flatness value is displayed, so that when the user triggers the confirmation signal, the drying process is executed, so that the user can get the wrinkle degree that he can accept, and improve the user's experience.
[0055] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, determining the target weight for predicting the fabric to be dried according to the matching of the actual weight with a plurality of preset correction weights includes: If the actual weight is the same as any one of the correction weights, the correction weight that is the same as the actual weight is determined as the target weight; If the actual weight is different from any of the correction weights, the correction weight having the smallest absolute value of the difference from the actual weight is determined as the target weight.
[0056] The implementation method is equivalent to correcting the actual weight of the fabric to be dried, so that the flatness of the fabric to be dried can be predicted, thereby increasing the probability of successful prediction.
[0057] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, each of the fabric materials corresponds to a corresponding weight interval, the weight interval includes a plurality of weight sub-intervals, and each of the weight sub-intervals is pre-associated with a flatness value; If the target weight is within the preset weight range corresponding to the fabric material, determining the target flatness value of the fabric to be dried includes: Comparing the target weight with the weight sub-interval corresponding to the fabric material to determine the weight sub-interval in which the target weight is located; Using the flatness value associated with the weight sub-interval where the target weight is located as the target flatness value of the fabric to be dried; The greater the weight contained in the weight sub-interval, the smaller the associated flatness value.
[0058] By adopting this implementation method, it is convenient to output different target flatness values, so that the user can know the degree of wrinkles of the fabric to be dried after drying is completed.
[0059] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the fabric information includes fabric material and actual weight of the fabric to be dried; The predicting the flatness of the fabric to be dried after drying is completed according to the fabric material and the target weight includes: Determining that the actual weight is within a preset weight interval corresponding to the fabric material; The flatness value associated with the weight interval in which the actual weight is located is used as the target flatness value of the fabric to be dried, wherein the flatness condition includes the target flatness value, If the target weight is not within the weight range corresponding to the fabric material, the target flatness value is not generated.
[0060] With this implementation, there is a weight interval corresponding to the fabric material. Once the material of the fabric to be dried is determined, it can be determined within which weight interval the actual weight falls corresponding to the material of the fabric to be dried. The flatness value of the weight interval is used as the target flatness value, thereby improving the prediction efficiency of the flatness value.
[0061] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the method further includes: Acquiring an image of the fabric to be dried; The fabric material is identified according to the image.
[0062] In one embodiment, a database may be preset to store pictures of various materials, and the image of the fabric to be dried may be compared with the picture to obtain the fabric material. In another embodiment, a trained picture recognition model may be used to identify the fabric material, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0063] In other embodiments, if multiple fabric materials are identified through the image of the fabric to be dried, the weight proportion of the fabric to be dried of each material is estimated according to the area proportion of each fabric material in the image; Determine the weight of each material of the fabric to be dried according to the weight ratio of each material of the fabric to be dried; Determining the flatness value of the fabric to be dried of each material according to the weight of the fabric to be dried of each material, and obtaining a plurality of flatness values; Perform weighted averaging on multiple flatness values to obtain a comprehensive flatness value; The comprehensive flatness value is used as the flatness condition of the fabric to be dried for subsequent processing.
[0064] Wherein, determining the weight of each material of the fabric to be dried according to the weight proportion of each material of the fabric to be dried includes: The total weight of the fabrics to be dried is obtained by a weight sensor or other weighing methods, and then the weight of the fabrics to be dried of each material is calculated according to the total weight and the weight ratio.
[0065] Among them, when weighted averaging is performed, each material is preset with a weighting coefficient, and the size of the weighting coefficient is related to the density and water absorption of the material. Specifically, the weighting coefficient corresponding to the material with high density and good water absorption is large.
[0066] By adopting this implementation method, the fabric material can be automatically identified and obtained, thereby improving the automation level of the drying equipment, reducing the user's operation, and improving the user's experience.
[0067] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, before acquiring fabric information of the fabric to be dried, the method further includes: Determine whether it is necessary to predict the flatness condition; If yes, the step of acquiring fabric information of the fabric to be dried is performed; otherwise, the preset drying process is performed.
[0068] In one embodiment, the user may indicate the need to predict the flatness by clicking a button on the drying device or touching the screen.
[0069] With this embodiment, if there is a need to predict the flatness, the subsequent steps will be executed. If not, the drying process will be directly executed, which is beneficial to improving drying efficiency and reducing user operations, thereby improving user experience.
[0070] An embodiment of the present application further provides a drying device, comprising a drying program, wherein the drying device performs the above-mentioned drying method when executing the drying program.
[0071] In the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant description of other embodiments. The steps shown in the relevant flow chart can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that here. In other words, the order of steps described in the foregoing embodiments is only an example, and it is also within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application to reasonably adjust the order of steps based on the content of the embodiments of the present application.
[0072] In a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the drying method includes the following processing steps: The washing and drying machines or clothes dryers with drying functions currently available on the market do not have the function of predicting the flatness of clothes after drying. Users cannot know whether the clothes after drying can achieve the desired flatness. Now a drying control method is proposed, which uses the method of photographing and recognition to identify the material of the clothes, and uses the weighing method combined with the material of the clothes to judge the flatness of the clothes of the weight and material after drying, so as to achieve the purpose of allowing users to master and adjust the flatness of the clothes after drying. After a large number of simulation experiments, three databases are formed, one is the total database, which includes the flatness values of clothes of different weights and materials after drying, the first database is used to identify the material of the clothes, and the second database is a database for identifying and judging the weight of the clothes.
[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, when the user puts clothes in and starts the machine with a drying function, the drying program starts, and the user can choose whether to control the flatness of the clothes after drying. If the user chooses not to control the flatness of the clothes after drying, the machine enters the normal drying program; when the user chooses to control the flatness of the clothes after drying, another set of programs is entered, and the material of the clothes in the barrel of the machine with a drying function is identified by taking photos, and then the photos of the clothes are uploaded to the database for identifying clothes to determine the material of the clothes, and then the clothes are weighed, and the weight information is uploaded to the database obtained in the experiment for data comparison. The information after the comparison of the two databases is uploaded to the total database, and the final predicted flatness value of the dried clothes is matched. When the weight is at an intermediate value, the weighing weight (M) is greater than the first weight value (M1) and less than the second weight (M2), the closest weight value is uploaded to the total database and the flatness value of the clothes after drying is output in combination with the material of the clothes, where (M1) has the minimum weight, the minimum weight is zero, and (M2) has the maximum weight. If the weight (M) of the clothes in the barrel of the machine with a drying function is within the range of the first weight value (M1) and the second weight value (M2), the machine with a drying function will give a value of the clothes drying flatness after identification and judgment, and then directly enter the normal drying program. However, if the clothes (M) in the barrel of the machine with a drying function is greater than the maximum value of the value range (M2), the machine with a drying function will sound an alarm to remind the user that there are too many clothes in the barrel and the clothes after drying are poor. The user sees the alarm and takes out some clothes. The washing machine takes a photo and weighs it again to estimate the flatness value after drying and gives it, and then enters the normal drying program until the program ends. When the user does not see the alarm issued by the washing machine, the washing machine gives a flatness value for the dried clothes, and then enters the drying program until the program ends.
[0074] It should be noted that M is the weight of the clothes weighed by the machine, which may be 3.3kg or 3.4kg. When this value is uploaded to the database, it will be compared with the weight in the database and the weight close to it will be taken. For example, for 3kg, M1 and M2 are not fixed values, but synonyms of a value. When M is 1.3, M1 may be 1, M2 may be 2, and when M is 5.6, M1 may be 5, M2 may be 6; M1 has a minimum value, which is zero. When the weight is read as zero, it means that the load in the washing and drying machine is too light, and the machine cannot weigh the weight and thinks that there are no clothes in it. The maximum value of M2 means that if the clothes being dried are shirts, the wrinkle degree of the clothes after drying of this material exceeds 2kg, and the wrinkle degree of the clothes after drying is 2 degrees or 3 degrees in the wrinkle evaluation in the drying test. The wrinkle degree of clothes exceeding 2kg reaches the wrinkle degree 4 degrees in the evaluation of the drying test. Clothes with wrinkles of 4 degrees are not suitable for wearing directly. For shirts, the maximum value of M2 is 2kg. If it exceeds 2kg, an alarm will be issued to remind the user that the load flatness is poor after drying.
