[0045] Example 1

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, a control method for a robot for assisting intelligent laundry washing and drying is provided. After receiving a signal that laundry is completed, the robot obtains the positioning information and navigation path of the laundry washing device, the laundry basket and an idle laundry drying device. Specifically, the laundry drying device may be a clothes dryer. When the robot reaches the location of the laundry washing device and the idle clothes dryer, the robot connects and interacts with the laundry device and the clothes dryer through wireless communication. The robot takes out washed laundry from the laundry washing device and sorts the taken out laundry according to the laundry information, and the laundry information includes but is not limited to the weight, material and color of the laundry. The robot weighs the taken out laundry and sorts the laundry of different materials according to image scanning. After the sorting is completed, the robot sorts the taken out laundry according to the laundry information. The robot determines whether the clothes taken out meet the drying conditions based on the clothing information. If so, the robot clamps the clothes that meet the drying conditions in the clothes washing device to the clothes basket and then transports them to the clothes drying device and sends a clothes drying signal. The clothes drying device starts working after receiving the clothes drying signal. The clothes drying device includes but is not limited to a dryer. After the dryer completes the drying work, it transmits a clothes drying completion signal to the robot. After receiving the clothes drying completion signal, the robot takes out the clothes in the dryer and stores them in the clothes basket and closes the door of the washing device. If the robot determines that there are clothes that do not meet the drying conditions among the clothes taken out from the clothes washing device, the clothes that do not meet the drying conditions will be stored in a specific clothes basket and the user will be notified to handle them in time.

[0047] In this embodiment, the laundry completion signal and the laundry drying completion signal can be set to come from the cloud Internet.

[0048] Alternatively, the robot determines whether the clothes in the clothes washing device have been washed and whether the clothes in the clothes dryer have been dried through the washing completion sound of the clothes washing device and the drying completion prompt sound of the clothes dryer.

[0049] In this embodiment, the robot is also provided with a mechanical arm and a gripper for opening the doors of the clothing washing device and the clothing drying device, clamping clothing, and cooperating with the clothing basket to transport clothing; the mechanical arm and the gripper can automatically open and close the doors of the clothing washing device and the clothing drying device, avoiding the need for users to manually open and close the doors of the equipment, which can improve the convenience and automation level of operation; the gripper of the robot can accurately clamp clothing and transport it to a designated location, avoiding the risk of accidents or clothing damage that may be caused by manual operation, and the mechanical arm and the gripper can accurately control the grabbing and placement of clothing according to a specific program.

[0050] In this embodiment, the clothes basket can be set to one or more according to different information of the clothes in the washing device; the clothes basket can be set to one or more according to the information of the clothes in the washing device; the clothes information includes clothes weight, clothes material, clothes style information,

[0051] The robot takes out the clothes taken out by the clothes washing device into different clothes baskets according to different information of the clothes; putting the clothes into different clothes baskets can make it easier to sort and classify the clothes after taking them out, and the customer can easily sort the clothes according to different categories according to their needs, reducing sorting time and workload; the robot puts the clothes into corresponding clothes baskets according to different information of the clothes, reducing the trouble and time cost of subsequent sorting, and the customer can take out the clothes in the clothes baskets and carry out subsequent processing by themselves, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire washing process; classifying the clothes and putting them into corresponding clothes baskets can avoid friction, entanglement and damage between different types of clothes, and each clothes basket can provide sufficient space and protection to ensure that the clothes will not be damaged or deformed during transportation and storage.

[0052] In this embodiment, the interior of the clothes basket may be made of soft and anti-friction materials to protect the clothes from being damaged or wrinkled.

[0053] In this embodiment, ventilation holes are provided on the clothes basket to ensure that the clothes can be ventilated and kept dry during the storage process, thereby preventing odor or mold from growing.

[0054] In this embodiment, the robot is also provided with autonomous path planning and obstacle avoidance functions; the robot can avoid collisions with other objects or people by autonomous path planning, thereby avoiding possible accidents or damages. This function can ensure that the robot remains safe during operation and protect the surrounding environment and other users;

[0055] The robot can adjust the path according to the real-time environmental conditions by autonomously planning the path to adapt to different customer needs and washing equipment layouts. Whether it is a narrow passage between clothing washing equipment or other obstacles, the robot can automatically plan the path and bypass the obstacles to provide more flexible operation. The robot can choose the fastest and most efficient path from the clothing washing equipment to the clothes basket and to the dryer, saving movement time and energy consumption. The robot can intelligently avoid congestion or unnecessary path selection to complete the task most efficiently.

[0056] In this embodiment, the robot intelligently sorts the clothes through image scanning, determines the total weight of the clothes in the same dryer and the minimum allowable drying temperature and minimum drying time information in the clothing material information. Since different clothing materials have different hygroscopicity and heat resistance, it is necessary to determine the most suitable drying temperature based on the material of the clothing. For example, cotton clothes can usually be dried at higher temperatures, while special fibers such as wool or silk require lower temperatures. In addition, the thickness and weight of the clothes will also affect the adjustment of the minimum drying temperature. Thicker or heavier clothes may require higher temperatures to ensure that the moisture inside can be completely evaporated.

[0057] The robot can sense the humidity conditions in the drying drum through sensors. Based on the monitored humidity level, the robot can adjust the drying temperature accordingly to ensure that the clothes are dried at appropriate humidity. Alternatively, if the number of clothes is large or the humidity is high, the robot can choose a higher temperature to shorten the drying time. Conversely, if the number of clothes is small or the humidity is low, the robot can choose a lower temperature to avoid over-drying.

[0058] In this embodiment, the clothing information also includes clothing style information.

[0059] The robot determines whether the clothes taken out from the clothes washing device have special lace or ornament styles according to the style information;

[0060] If there are clothes with special lace or ornament styles, the robot will send the clothes put into the clothes drying device to the clothes drying device according to the drying conditions of the special style of clothes, and the drying conditions include drying speed and temperature.

[0061] In this embodiment, the robot uses visual recognition technology or machine learning algorithms to identify and classify clothes, and determines the quality of the clothes and the minimum allowable drying temperature by analyzing the material, thickness, and weight characteristics of the clothes;

[0062] Alternatively, the robot is provided with a clothing quality database, which records parameters such as the drying temperature range and minimum drying time corresponding to clothing of various materials, thicknesses, and weights. The robot can compare the identified clothing features with the database to find suitable reference parameters; or sort the clothing by identifying the label information of the clothing.

[0063] In this embodiment, the robot obtains the positioning information and navigation path of the clothes washing device, the idle clothes basket and the idle clothes drying device through a visual sensor or a positioning sensor or a laser sensor.

[0064] In this embodiment, the weight of the clothes can also be obtained by the robot by obtaining the mass change of the clothes washing device before and after washing or by setting a weighing function on the clothes basket;

[0065] The robot determines whether the weight of the clothes taken out from the clothes washing device is less than the maximum holding weight of the clothes dryer according to the clothes weight information;

[0066] If so, the robot will put the clothes taken out from the clothes washing device into the same clothes drying device,

[0067] If not, the robot puts some of the clothes into another dryer or into the same dryer in batches; for example: when the robot detects that the weight of the clothes taken out from the clothing washing device is greater than the maximum capacity of the dryer and there are no spare dryers, the robot puts some of the clothes into the same dryer in batches for drying.

[0068] In this embodiment, if there are clothes made of special materials, the robot will put the clothes made of special materials into the separate clothes basket after sorting.

[0069] In this embodiment, the robot can interact with the user and obtain the user's settings or selections of drying parameters through an interface or voice commands. The user can set parameters such as the minimum drying temperature and the minimum drying time of the clothes according to his or her needs, experience or special requirements;

[0070] The robot is equipped with various sensors, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, etc., to monitor the temperature and humidity during the drying process in real time. The robot analyzes the sensor data and adjusts the temperature and time of the dryer in time to ensure that the clothes are dried within a safe range.

[0071] In this embodiment, the robot takes the clothes out of the clothes drying device and records the arrival of the set drying time, and observes the drying effect of each piece of clothing, including moisture, softness, and wrinkle degree;

[0072] The robot evaluates the drying effect of the clothes in the same clothes drying device;

[0073] The clothes with ideal drying effect are taken out and stored in the clothes basket. The clothes with unsatisfactory drying effect are dried twice after adjusting the drying temperature and time, and then taken out and stored in the clothes basket.

[0074] In this embodiment, the robot sorts clothes of different materials while taking clothes out of the clothes washing device;

[0075] If the material information of the clothes taken out is the same, the robot will put them into the drum of the dryer and send the drying time and drying temperature of the clothes material information to the dryer; if there are clothes of special materials, the robot will put the clothes of special materials into the separate clothes basket after sorting.

[0076] If the material information of the clothes taken out is different, the robot confirms the parameters of drying time and drying temperature according to the lowest allowable drying temperature in the material information of the clothes and sends them to the dryer;

[0077] The maximum weight information that can be contained in the clothes dryer can also be set to be obtained by the clothes basket.

[0078] determining whether the weight of the clothes taken out from the clothes washing device is less than the maximum holding weight of the clothes dryer;

[0079] If so, the laundry basket transmits a signal to the robot to put the laundry taken out from the laundry washing device into the same laundry dryer,

[0080] If not, the clothes basket transmits a signal to the robot to place the clothes taken out from the clothes washing device into the plurality of clothes dryers;

[0081] After receiving a signal from the clothes basket as to whether to put the clothes into the same dryer, the robot puts the clothes into the dryer. After the putting is completed, the robot sends a drying start signal to the dryer to start the dryer. After the dryer completes the drying work, the robot takes out the clothes from the dryer and stores them in the clothes basket.

[0082] In this embodiment, the robot is equipped with sensors and cameras to sense the environment and identify clothing;

[0083] The robot uses its sensors and cameras to detect the clothes in the laundry washing machine and uses visual recognition technology or machine learning algorithms to identify and classify different types of clothes.

[0084] In this embodiment, once the robot identifies the clothes in one of the clothes washing devices, it uses a robotic arm or other appropriate tool to remove the clothes, and the robot controls the force and angle when grabbing the clothes to ensure that the clothes are not damaged;

[0085] The robot transports the clothes to the location of the dryer, using a wheeled base or other transport mechanism, such as a conveyor belt or grabber arm, to safely transport the clothes there.

[0086] In this embodiment, the robot places the clothes in the dryer and ensures that they are properly arranged to promote a good drying effect. During the drying process, the robot uses sensors and cameras to monitor the drying process to ensure that the dryer operates normally and avoid potential problems.

[0087] During the whole process, the robot is configured to communicate wirelessly with the washing device and the dryer to obtain operating instructions and transmit status information; in addition, the robot should also have an obstacle avoidance function to ensure that it will not collide with other objects or personnel during transportation and operation. With the assistance of the robot, the degree of automation of the washing process can be improved, the burden of manual operation can be reduced, and efficiency and accuracy can be improved.

[0088] In this embodiment, by receiving the laundry completion signal of the washing device, the robot can promptly obtain the message that the laundry washing device has completed the laundry task, thereby avoiding the waiting time delay;

[0089] Receiving the laundry completion signal enables the robot to automatically start the next operation. After receiving the signal, the robot can autonomously perform subsequent operations, such as moving to the location of the clothing washing device and opening its door, clamping clothing, etc.

[0090] In this embodiment, the laundry completion signal can be sent by the clothing washing device. The laundry completion signal is the basis for the clothing washing device to judge whether the laundry task is completed. Therefore, the signal has high accuracy. By receiving this signal, the robot can accurately judge whether the laundry task is completed, so as to perform corresponding operations.
