[0047] The method for determining the drying time of clothes involved in the embodiment of the present application is mainly applied to electronic devices, which may be washing machines, dryers, dehydrators, integrated washing and drying machines, smart phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, desktop computers, and servers, etc., which are not limited here.

[0048] For ease of understanding, the specific process in the embodiments of the present application is described below. Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of an embodiment of a method for determining the drying time of clothes provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0049] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the method can be applied to drying equipment with drying function such as washing machines, dryers, dehydrators, and washer-dryers, and the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0050] S101, obtaining the moisture content of the clothes to be dried collected at the end of the washing stage.

[0051] It should be explained that the washing stage refers to the washing process of the clothes to be dried in a device with a washing function. Therefore, it should be clear that in order to determine the drying time of the clothes in this embodiment, the clothes to be dried need to be washed by means of a device with a washing function. At the same time, the moisture content of the clothes to be dried collected at the end of the washing stage is obtained, wherein the moisture content of the clothes refers to the moisture content of the clothes to be dried at the end of the washing stage.

[0052] In some embodiments, a device with a washing function may exist independently of a drying device, but data interaction is required with the drying device. Taking a washing machine with a washing function as an example, the washing machine serves as a lower machine of the drying device, and the drying device serves as a higher machine of the washing machine. After the clothes to be dried are washed in the washing machine, they are taken out and placed in the drying device for drying. At the same time, the washing machine, which serves as a lower machine, transmits the moisture content of the clothes to be dried, which is collected when the washing stage is completed, to the drying device, which serves as a higher machine, so that the drying device calculates the estimated drying time of the clothes to be dried based on the moisture content of the clothes.

[0053] In other embodiments, the device with washing function can also be integrated into the drying device as a functional module that is part of the drying device. Taking a washer-dryer with both washing and drying functions as an example, the clothes to be dried enter the next drying stage after completing washing in the washer-dryer. At the same time, the estimated drying time of the clothes to be dried is calculated based on the moisture content of the clothes collected when the washing stage is completed, and the clothes to be dried are dried based on the estimated drying time.

[0054] S102, obtaining a drying equipment dehumidification rate corresponding to the drying equipment.

[0055] It should be explained that the dehumidification rate of the drying equipment is an indicator used to characterize the drying ability of the drying equipment for clothes. Generally, the larger the value corresponding to the dehumidification rate of the drying equipment, the stronger the drying ability of the drying equipment. By setting the dehumidification rate of the drying equipment, the working characteristics of different drying equipment can be reflected, thereby improving the accuracy of the estimated drying time of clothes.

[0056] S103, based on the moisture content of the clothes and the dehumidification rate of the drying device, the estimated drying time of the clothes to be dried is calculated by a preset time estimation algorithm.

[0057] In this embodiment, after the moisture content of the clothes to be dried and the dehumidification rate of the drying equipment of the corresponding drying equipment are determined, the estimated drying time of the clothes to be dried can be calculated by a preset time estimation algorithm.

[0058] In some embodiments, the estimated drying time can be set to T, and the time estimation algorithm is T=Wd / q, where Wd represents the moisture content of the clothes, q represents the dehumidification rate of the drying equipment, and T is expressed in min, counted as an integer.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, before S101, the method further includes the following steps:

[0060] S201, respectively obtaining the weight of the dry clothes before washing and the weight of the wet clothes after washing and dehydration of the clothes to be dried;

[0061] S202, calculating a first value according to the weight of the dry cloth and the weight of the wet cloth;

[0062] S203: Using the first data as the moisture content of the clothes to be dried collected at the end of the washing stage.

[0063] It should be explained that the dry weight refers to the weight of the clothes to be dried before entering the washing stage, that is, the weight of the clothes to be dried before being placed in the equipment with washing function. The wet weight refers to the weight of the clothes to be dried at the end of the washing settlement, that is, the weight of the clothes to be dried before entering the drying stage, usually after washing and dehydration in the equipment with washing function.

[0064] In this embodiment, after obtaining the dry weight and wet weight of the clothes to be dried, the dry weight and the wet weight are calculated to obtain a first value, and the first data is used as the moisture content of the clothes to be dried collected at the end of the washing stage.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first value is calculated according to the weight of the dry cloth and the weight of the wet cloth, including:

[0066] The dry cloth weight is subtracted from the wet cloth weight to obtain a first value.

[0067] In this embodiment, the weight of the wet cloth is generally greater than the weight of the dry cloth, so the first value can be obtained by subtracting the weight of the dry cloth from the weight of the wet cloth.

[0068] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, after S202, the method further includes the following steps:

[0069] S2021, determining whether the first value is less than or equal to a preset threshold;

[0070] S2022: if the first data is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the first value is corrected by a preset water content correction algorithm to obtain a second value;

[0071] S2023: Using the second data as the moisture content of the clothes to be dried collected at the end of the washing stage.

[0072] Taking into account that the clothes to be dried contain moisture before entering the washing stage, in order to avoid that the clothes to be dried in this case affect the accuracy of the subsequent calculation of the estimated drying time of the clothes, and to determine whether the clothes to be dried already carry moisture before entering the washing stage, in this embodiment, it is first determined whether the first value is less than or equal to a preset threshold value; if the first data is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, the first value is corrected by a preset moisture content correction algorithm to obtain a second value; the second data is used as the moisture content of the clothes to be dried collected at the end of the washing stage.

[0073] It should be noted that, in general, the weight of wet cloth is greater than the weight of dry cloth. Only when the clothes to be dried carry moisture before entering the washing stage, the weight of wet cloth may be less than or equal to the weight of dry cloth. Therefore, it can be judged whether the clothes to be dried carry moisture before entering the washing stage based on this basis. Among them, the preset threshold value can be set to 0. When the first data is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, the first value can be corrected by a preset moisture content correction algorithm to obtain a second value, and the second data is used as the moisture content of the clothes to be dried collected at the end of the washing stage, thereby reducing the possibility of a decrease in the accuracy of the subsequent calculation of the estimated drying time of the clothes due to the moisture contained in the clothes to be dried before entering the washing stage.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second value can be set to W2, and the moisture content correction algorithm is expressed as: W2 = [u / (1+u)]*G1, where u represents the moisture content collected after the washing stage of the clothes to be dried, and G1 represents the first value.

[0075] It should be pointed out here that u can be calculated by a curve equation (including but not limited to this equation) fitted by a large amount of measured data, for example, u=(a*n+b*G1+c) / 100, wherein a, b, c are all equation coefficients, and n represents the final maximum dehydration speed of the device with a washing function. Currently, the final dehydration speed of the device with a washing function is generally divided into four gears of 800 / 1000 / 1200 / 1400rpm. When it is detected that the device with a washing function fails to reach 800rpm due to excessive eccentricity in the final dehydration, it is necessary to automatically stop the alarm, prompting the user to manually intervene in the device to adjust the position of the clothes and start the dehydration again.

[0076] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, after S2021, the method further includes the following steps:

[0077] S2024, if the first data is greater than the preset threshold, comparing the first value with the second value to determine the larger one between the first data and the second data;

[0078] S2025: Using the larger of the first data and the second data as the moisture content of the clothes to be dried collected at the end of the washing stage.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the first data is greater than a preset threshold, in order to further improve the accuracy of the estimated drying time of the clothes, the first value can be compared with the second value to determine the larger of the first data and the second data; the larger of the first data and the second data is used as the moisture content of the clothes to be dried collected at the end of the washing stage.

[0080] In some embodiments, obtaining a drying device dehumidification rate corresponding to the drying device includes:

[0081] Based on the weight of the wet cloth, the dehumidification rate of the drying device corresponding to the drying device is calculated by a preset dehumidification rate calculation formula.

[0082] In this embodiment, the dehumidification rate of the drying equipment can be set to q, and the fitting equation q = e*G1 can be obtained through a large number of actual test verification data. 2 +f*G1+d, where e, f, d are equation coefficients, and q is in g / min, expressed as an integer.

[0083] In some embodiments, after calculating the estimated drying time of the clothes to be dried by a preset time estimation algorithm, the method further includes:

[0084] The drying device is controlled to run a drying program according to the estimated drying time of the clothes, so that the clothes to be dried are dried when the running time of the drying program reaches the estimated drying time of the clothes.

[0085] In this embodiment, the estimated time for drying clothes comprehensively considers the moisture content parameters of the clothes to be dried and the dehumidification rate parameters of the drying equipment, that is, it takes into account the characteristics of the clothes to be dried and the characteristics of the drying equipment, so as to determine the estimated time for drying the clothes to be dried in a targeted and relatively reasonable manner, thereby improving the drying efficiency and user experience.

[0086] In some embodiments, the estimated drying time of the clothes can also be reasonably displayed on the display screen of the dryer to remind the user of the specific drying time.

[0087] All the above optional technical solutions can be arbitrarily combined to form optional embodiments of the present application, which will not be described one by one here.

[0088] In specific implementation, the present application is not limited by the execution order of the various steps described. If no conflict occurs, some steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously.

[0089] As can be seen from the above, the method for determining the drying time of clothes provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains the moisture content of clothes collected at the end of the washing stage of the clothes to be dried; obtains the dehumidification rate of the drying device corresponding to the drying device; and based on the moisture content of the clothes and the dehumidification rate of the drying device, calculates the estimated drying time of the clothes to be dried by a preset time estimation algorithm.
