Then, the operation parameters of the mobile air conditioner are adjusted according to the swing, so that the mobile air conditioner can adjust the operation parameters according to the swing of the clothes (i.e. the dryness degree of the clothes), avoiding the situation that when the clothes are about to be dried, the swing degree is large due to the light weight, and the area blown by the hot air is small. Therefore, the present application can not only automatically identify the dryness degree of the clothes, but also adjust the operation parameters accordingly to ensure the windward area of the clothes.

[0053] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application, and are intended to explain the technical principles of the present application, rather than limit the protection scope of the present application. Based on the embodiments provided by the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0054] It should be noted that, in the description of the present application, the terms indicating the direction or positional relationship such as "center", "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0055] Further, it should be further noted that, in the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application according to the specific circumstances.

[0056] In addition, it should be further noted that, in the description of the present application, the terms "cold" and "heat" are two descriptions of the same physical state. That is, the higher the "cold" of a certain target (such as an evaporator, air, a condenser, etc.), the lower the "heat" it has, and the lower the "cold" it has, the higher the "heat" it has. A certain target absorbs "cold" while releasing "heat", and releases "cold" while absorbing "heat". A certain target saves "cold" or "heat" to keep the target at the current temperature. "Refrigeration" and "heat absorption" are two descriptions of the same physical phenomenon, that is, a certain target (such as an evaporator) absorbs heat while refrigerating.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that in the description of the present application, each functional module can be a physical module composed of multiple structures, components or electronic elements, or a virtual module composed of multiple programs; each functional module can be a module that exists independently of each other, or a module divided by a whole module according to function. Those skilled in the art should understand that, as long as the technical solutions described in the present application can be realized, the constituting manner, implementation manner and positional relationship of each functional module can be changed in any way without deviating from the technical principles of the present application, and therefore should fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0058] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 In the present application, the mobile air conditioner 100 comprises a body 110, a refrigerant circulation system 120, a drying fan 130, a circulation fan 140 and a walking device 150. Among them, the refrigerant circulation system 120, the drying fan 130, the circulation fan 140 and the walking device 150 are all arranged in the body 110.

[0059] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 , the body 110 defines a heating compartment 111 and a heat absorbing compartment 112, and the heating compartment 111 is located above the heat absorbing compartment 112. Further, the body 110 is further provided with an ambient air first inlet 1111 and a hot air outlet 1112 which communicate with the heating compartment 111, and the hot air outlet 1112 is arranged on the top wall of the heating compartment 111, i.e. at the top end of the body 110. The ambient air first inlet 1111 is arranged on the peripheral wall of the heating compartment 111. Further, the body 110 is further provided with an ambient air second inlet 1121 and a cold air outlet 1122 which communicate with the heat absorbing compartment 112, and the ambient air second inlet 1121 and the cold air outlet 1122 are both arranged on the peripheral wall of the heating compartment 111 and located on opposite sides of the heating compartment 111.

[0060] In addition, those skilled in the art can also adjust the relative position relationship of the heating compartment 111 and the heat absorbing compartment 112 as needed, for example, to make the heating compartment 111 located below the heat absorbing compartment 112.

[0061] Further, those skilled in the art can also adjust the setting positions of the ambient air first inlet 1111, the hot air outlet 1112, the ambient air second inlet 1121 and the cold air outlet 1122 as needed, for example, to arrange the hot air outlet 1112 on the peripheral wall of the heating compartment 111.

[0062] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 , the body 110 is provided with a wind deflector 113 at the hot air outlet 1112, which is used to guide the hot air blown out from the hot air outlet 1112.

[0063] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1As shown, in this invention, the refrigerant circulation system 120 includes a compressor 121, a condenser 122, a capillary tube 123 and an evaporator 124 connected end to end in sequence, so that the refrigerant circulates along the following path: compressor 121 → condenser 122 → capillary tube 123 → evaporator 124 → compressor 121.

[0064] Those skilled in the art will understand that the refrigerant flowing from compressor 121 is in a high-temperature, high-pressure state. It is cooled as it flows through condenser 122, becoming a low-temperature, high-pressure state. As the low-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant flows through the refrigeration pressure-reducing component, its pressure decreases, causing it to expand and become a low-temperature, low-pressure state. The low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant absorbs heat in evaporator 124, becoming a high-temperature, low-pressure state. When the high-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows through compressor 121, it is compressed again into a high-temperature, high-pressure state. Therefore, condenser 122 can provide heat to heating chamber 111, heating the air within it; evaporator 124 can absorb heat from heat-absorbing chamber 112.

[0065] It should be noted that, provided that the above functions can be achieved, those skilled in the art can also configure the capillary 123 as any other feasible throttling device, such as an electronic expansion valve, as needed.

[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, in this invention, a drying fan 130 is installed in the heating chamber 111 to blow air heated by the condenser 122 from the heating chamber 111 out of the hot air outlet 1112; and to draw air from the environment into the heating chamber 111 from the first ambient air inlet 1111. A circulating fan 140 is installed in the heat absorption chamber 112 to drive the air inside and outside the heat absorption chamber 112 to circulate through the second ambient air inlet 1121 and the cold air outlet 1122, thereby providing a continuous source of heat to the evaporator 124.

[0067] Furthermore, provided that the above functions can be achieved, those skilled in the art can also set the drying fan 130 and / or the circulating fan 140 in any other feasible location as needed, for example, setting the drying fan 130 at the first ambient air inlet 1111.

[0068] Furthermore, although not explicitly shown in the figures, in this invention, the walking device 150 includes a motor and a walking wheel driven by the motor, so that the walking wheel rotates under the action of the motor, thereby driving the portable air conditioner 100 to move.

[0069] Furthermore, although not explicitly shown in the figures, in this invention, the portable air conditioner 100 may also include a camera, a distance sensor, a communication module, a battery that provides power to the motor and compressor 121, etc.

[0070] The following referenceFigures 3 to 7 The control method of the mobile air conditioner 100 will be described in detail.

[0071] As shown in Figure 3 some embodiments of the present application, the control method of the mobile air conditioner 100 comprises:

[0072] Step S110, in response to receiving the drying instruction, controlling the mobile air conditioner 100 to move to the target position.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the drying instruction can be that the local or indoor air humidity is higher than a first preset humidity threshold for M consecutive days, and the local or indoor air temperature is lower than a preset temperature threshold for N consecutive days; wherein M and N are both natural numbers greater than 1. For example, M and N are both 2.

[0074] Wherein the first preset humidity threshold is 90%, and the preset temperature threshold is 20℃. Alternatively, those skilled in the art can understand that the first preset humidity threshold and / or the preset temperature threshold can be set to any other feasible value, for example, the first preset humidity threshold can be set to 85%, 87%, 92%, 95%, etc., and the preset temperature threshold can be set to 16℃, 18℃, 21℃, etc.

[0075] In an example of the present application, the mobile air conditioner 100 further comprises a humidity sensor and a temperature sensor, to detect the indoor air humidity through the humidity sensor and to detect the indoor temperature through the temperature sensor.

[0076] In an example of the present application, the mobile air conditioner 100 further comprises a communication module, to obtain the local air humidity and air temperature from the Internet through the communication module.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, the drying instruction can also be a control instruction issued by the user to the mobile air conditioner 100. For example, the mobile air conditioner 100 is provided with a drying instruction button, when the user presses the button, the mobile air conditioner 100 receives the drying instruction issued by the user.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the target position is located at the middle position of the projection of all the clothes 300 to be dried on the ground (as shown in Figure 2 ).

[0079] Alternatively, those skilled in the art can also make the target position located at one end or one side of the projection length direction of all the clothes 300 to be dried on the ground according to the needs.

[0080] As shown in Figure 4 some embodiments of the present application, step S110 can further comprise:

[0081] Step S111, in response to receiving the drying instruction, the mobile air conditioner 100 is controlled to move towards the clothes hanger 200.

[0082] In the present application, the mobile air conditioner 100 can recognize the clothes hanger 200 through image recognition, then determine the position of the clothes hanger 200 relative to it, and then control the mobile air conditioner 100 to move towards the clothes hanger 200.

[0083] In the present application, an ultrasonic transmitter can also be provided on the clothes hanger 200, and an ultrasonic receiver can also be provided on the mobile air conditioner 100. When the mobile air conditioner 100 receives the drying instruction, the mobile air conditioner 100 is controlled to send a message to the clothes hanger 200 to inform the clothes hanger 200 to turn on the ultrasonic transmitter. Then the mobile air conditioner 100 locates the clothes hanger 200 through the information received by the ultrasonic receiver thereon, and moves towards the clothes hanger 200.

[0084] Step S112, an image of the area where the clothes hanger 200 is located is obtained.

[0085] Specifically, during the movement of the mobile air conditioner 100 towards the clothes hanger 200, the mobile air conditioner 100 is controlled to collect images in the direction of the clothes hanger 200 in real time through the camera thereon until all the clothes to be dried 300 on the clothes hanger 200 are collected, and the image is taken as a reference image to perform step S113.

[0086] Step S113, the distribution of all the clothes to be dried 300 on the clothes hanger 200 is identified from the image.

[0087] In step S113, the distribution of all the clothes to be dried 300 in the horizontal direction is determined through the image.

[0088] Step S114, according to the distribution, a target position is determined to ensure that all the clothes to be dried 300 can be blown by the hot air blown out by the mobile air conditioner 100.

[0089] Those skilled in the art can understand that the target position determined through step S114 can effectively avoid the clothes to be dried 300 at the edge of the clothes hanger 200 from being difficult to be blown by the hot air blown out by the mobile air conditioner 100 due to the distance from the mobile air conditioner 100.

[0090] Step S120, the clothes information of the clothes to be dried 300 at the target position is obtained.

[0091] The clothes information includes: the material of each clothes to be dried 300, the distribution density of all the clothes to be dried 300, and the distance between each clothes to be dried 300 and the hot air outlet 1112.

[0092] For this purpose, the portable air conditioner 100 can use its camera to capture images of all the clothes 300 to be dried, and then compare the clothes 300 to be dried in the images with the pre-stored clothes materials to determine the material of each piece of clothes 300 to be dried.

[0093] Furthermore, the portable air conditioner 100 can also determine the distribution density of all clothes to be dried 300 by the vacancy rate between the two outermost clothes to be dried 300 in an image that includes all clothes to be dried 300. For example, if the occupancy rate of the clothes to be dried between the two outermost clothes to be dried 300 in the length direction of the clothes rack 200 is 70%, then the distribution density of all clothes to be dried 300 can be determined to be 70%.

[0094] Furthermore, the portable air conditioner 100 can detect the distance between each piece of clothing 300 to be dried and the hot air outlet 1112 using a distance sensor (such as lidar), especially the distance between the two outermost pieces of clothing 300 and the hot air outlet 1112. This distance can be a lateral distance or the distance between the bottom of the two outermost pieces of clothing 300 and the hot air outlet 1112.

[0095] Step S130: Determine the operating parameters of the portable air conditioner 100 based on the clothing information.

[0096] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, step S130 may further include:

[0097] Step S131: Determine the temperature of the hot air blown out by the portable air conditioner 100 according to the material of each piece of clothing 300 to be dried, so as to prevent the hot air temperature from being too high and scalding the clothing.

[0098] In one example of the present invention, when it is determined that the material of each garment 300 to be dried includes only at least one of cotton, polyester and nylon, the temperature of the hot air blown out by the portable air conditioner 100 is determined to be no higher than 50°C, specifically 35°C, 45°C, 48°C, etc.

[0099] In another example of the present invention, when it is determined that the material of each garment 300 to be dried includes only at least one of wool and silk, the temperature of the hot air blown out by the portable air conditioner 100 is determined to be no higher than 30°C, specifically 20°C, 27°C, 30°C, etc.

[0100] Step S132: Determine the wind speed of the hot air blown out by the portable air conditioner 100 based on the distance between the clothes to be dried 300 and the hot air outlet 1112; to avoid wasting heat when the wind speed is too high; and to avoid the hot air not reaching the two outermost clothes to be dried 300 when the wind speed is too low.

[0101] The person skilled in the art can understand that, since different rotating speeds of the drying fan 130 correspond to different air speeds of the hot air, and the head corresponding to each air speed is fixed, the rotating speed of the drying fan 130 can be deduced reversely under the premise that the head (i.e. the distance between the clothes 300 to be dried and the hot air outlet 1112) is known.

[0102] Alternatively, the head of the hot air under different rotating speeds of the drying fan 130 is pre-stored in the mobile air conditioner 100 or a server in communication connection with the mobile air conditioner 100. Then, the head equal to (or the difference less than a preset value (for example, 0.2 m, 0.3 m, 0.5 m, etc.)) the distance between the clothes 300 to be dried and the hot air outlet 1112 can be found from the pre-stored data, and thus the lowest rotating speed of the drying fan 130 can be determined.

[0103] In step S133, the swing rate of the air deflector 113 at the hot air outlet 1112 is determined according to the distribution density.

[0104] The swing rate of the air deflector 113 is inversely proportional to the distribution density, so that when the distribution density of the clothes 300 to be dried is large, the hot air can be blown to each piece of the clothes 300 to be dried for a sufficient time to promote drying of the clothes 300 to be dried.

[0105] Further, the corresponding relationship between the distribution density and the swing rate of the air deflector 113 can be determined through multiple tests and then stored in the mobile air conditioner 100 or a server in communication connection with the mobile air conditioner 100.

[0106] In step S140, the mobile air conditioner 100 is controlled to dry the clothes 300 to be dried according to the operating parameters.

[0107] In optional step S150, if it is detected that the air humidity near the mobile air conditioner 100 is less than a second preset humidity threshold for a continuous preset time, it is indicated that all the clothes 300 to be dried have been dried, and the mobile air conditioner 100 is controlled to stop drying.

[0108] The preset time can be 5 minutes, or any other feasible time, for example, 3 minutes, 7 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.

[0109] The second preset humidity threshold can be 70%, or any other feasible value, for example, 40%, 45%, 56%, 65%, etc.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present application, the person skilled in the art can understand that step S150 is replaced by the following step: in response to the mobile air conditioner 100 receiving a shutdown instruction or a stop instruction, the mobile air conditioner 100 is controlled to stop drying.

[0111] The shutdown instruction or the stop instruction is sent by a user to the mobile air conditioner 100 or triggered by a corresponding function key on the mobile air conditioner 100.

[0112] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can understand that, in some embodiments of the present application, after receiving the drying instruction, the mobile air conditioner 100 is controlled to move to the target position, so that the mobile air conditioner 100 is closer to the clothes hanger 200, avoiding the cumbersome operation of manually moving the clothes hanger 200 to be close to the air conditioner in the prior art. Further, by obtaining the clothes information of the clothes to be dried 300 at the target position, then determining the operation parameters of the mobile air conditioner 100 according to the clothes information, and controlling the mobile air conditioner 100 to dry the clothes to be dried 300 according to the operation parameters, the mobile air conditioner 100 of the present application can perform corresponding drying operation according to the clothes information of the clothes to be dried 300, ensuring the drying of the clothes while avoiding damage to the clothes.

[0113] It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application are only a basic embodiment of the present application. In other embodiments of the present application, those skilled in the art can adjust, optimize and configure the schemes and steps in the above-mentioned embodiments according to the needs to achieve further technical effects. In the following, other embodiments of the present application different from the above-mentioned embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Of course, those skilled in the art can also appropriately modify the execution order, running conditions and quantity of the steps in the embodiments to be described in the following according to actual needs. The modified embodiments will not deviate from the technical concept and / or technical principle of the present application, and still fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0114] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the control method of the mobile air conditioner 100 further includes the following steps during the execution of step S140:

[0115] In step S210, an image of each clothes to be dried 300 when blown by the hot air is obtained to identify the posture of each clothes to be dried 300 when blown by the hot air according to the image.

[0116] In step S220, the swing range of the corresponding clothes to be dried 300 is determined according to the posture.

[0117] In this embodiment, the swing range of the clothes to be dried 300 refers to the distance of the bottom end of the clothes to be dried 300 relative to its natural drooping state.

[0118] To this end, the mobile air conditioner 100 acquires a static image of each piece of laundry 300 after reaching the target position and before starting the drying fan 130, so as to compare it with an image of the piece of laundry 300 when it is blown by the hot air, thereby determining the swing of each piece of laundry 300 when it is blown by the hot air.

[0119] In step S230, the operation parameters of the mobile air conditioner 100 are adjusted according to the swing.

[0120] As shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments of the present application, step S230 can further include: Figure 7

[0121] In step S231, if the swing is less than the preset lower limit of the swing, the temperature of the hot air is increased, and / or the wind speed when the hot air blows on the corresponding piece of laundry 300 is increased, and / or the dwell time when the hot air blows on the corresponding piece of laundry 300 is prolonged.

[0122] When the swing is less than the preset lower limit of the swing, it means that the piece of laundry 300 is relatively wet, has more moisture, and is relatively heavy, and needs a greater wind speed, a higher temperature, and a continuous blowing to dry quickly. At this time, by increasing the temperature of the hot air, and / or increasing the wind speed when the hot air blows on the corresponding piece of laundry 300, and / or prolonging the dwell time when the hot air blows on the corresponding piece of laundry 300, the evaporation rate of the moisture on the piece of laundry 300 can be effectively increased.

[0123] To this end, the lower limit of the swing can be any feasible value such as 2 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm, etc.

[0124] In this step, the temperature of the hot air can be increased by any value such as 1℃, 3℃, 5℃, 10℃, etc. The wind speed when the hot air blows on the corresponding piece of laundry 300 can be increased by any feasible value such as 50 r / min, 100 r / min, 150 r / min, 220 r / min, etc. The dwell time when the hot air blows on the corresponding piece of laundry 300 can be increased by any feasible value such as 1 second, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, etc.

[0125] In step S232, if the swing is greater than the preset upper limit of the swing, the temperature of the hot air is decreased, and / or the wind speed when the hot air blows on the corresponding piece of laundry 300 is decreased, and / or the dwell time when the hot air blows on the corresponding piece of laundry 300 is shortened.

[0126] ​When the swing is greater than the preset upper limit value of the swing, it indicates that the clothes 300 to be dried are already relatively dry, with less moisture and weight, and thus require a smaller air speed, a lower temperature, and a short blowing time for fast drying. At this time, by reducing the temperature of the hot air, and / or reducing the air speed when the hot air blows to the corresponding clothes 300 to be dried, and / or shortening the dwell time when the hot air blows to the corresponding clothes 300 to be dried, the evaporation rate of the moisture on the clothes 300 to be dried is ensured, and the waste of heat is avoided. The reason is that if the swing is greater than the preset upper limit value of the swing, the distance of the hot air blown by the mobile air conditioner 100 can be much greater than the outermost two clothes 300 to be dried.

[0127] For this purpose, the upper limit value of the swing can be 15 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm, 45 cm, etc.

[0128] In this step, the temperature of the hot air can be reduced by 1°C, 3°C, 5°C, 10°C, etc. The air speed when the hot air blows to the corresponding clothes 300 to be dried can be reduced by 50 r / min, 100 r / min, 150 r / min, 220 r / min, etc. The dwell time when the hot air blows to the corresponding clothes 300 to be dried can be reduced by 1 second, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, etc.

[0129] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can understand that other embodiments of the present application not only can automatically identify the drying degree of the clothes 300 to be dried, but also can adjust the operating parameters accordingly to ensure the windward area of the clothes 300 to be dried.

[0130] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 8 In the present application, the mobile air conditioner 100 further comprises a controller 160, which comprises a processor 161 and a memory 162, the memory 162 stores a machine executable program 1621, and the processor 161 executes the machine executable program 1621 to realize the control method described in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0131] The memory 162 can include a memory and a non-volatile memory, and provide the processor 161 with execution instructions and data. Exemplarily, the memory can be a high-speed random access memory (RAM), and the non-volatile memory can be at least one disk memory.

[0132] In this embodiment, the processor 161 is an integrated circuit chip with the ability to process signals. The processor 161 can be a general-purpose processor, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a network processor (NP), a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, a microprocessor, and other any conventional processor.
