It should also be understood that terms such as those defined in general dictionaries should be understood to have meanings consistent with the meanings in the context of the prior art, and will not be interpreted with idealized or overly formal meanings unless specifically defined as herein.

[0040] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above technical problems of the prior art are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] The clothes drying machine in the embodiment of the present invention generally includes a main unit and a drying rod. The main unit is generally installed on the ceiling or suspended ceiling. The drying rod is arranged below the main unit through a steel wire rope or other lifting parts. The main unit is provided with a main control module (such as MCU), a motor and other devices. The main control module controls the lifting of the drying rod through the power system of the clothes drying machine. Specifically, the main control module is connected to the motor through a motor driver, and the steel wire rope or lifting part is controlled by the motor to perform lifting and lowering movements, thereby realizing the automatic lifting and lowering of the drying rod. In addition, the clothes drying machine may also integrate functional modules such as lighting, drying, and disinfection, and the main control module can issue instructions to realize the control of each functional module.

[0042] Generally, the existing clothes drying machine will be configured with a range of descent strokes for the clothes drying rod when it leaves the factory, and a fixed descent height will be selected within the descent stroke range according to the installation environment during installation. However, in actual usage scenarios, users of different heights have different suitable operating heights for drying clothes, and the height of the clothes drying rod after it is lowered too high or too low will affect the user experience. Obviously, the fixed descent height of the clothes drying rod is difficult to meet the needs of multiple people of different heights.

[0043] Based on the problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a drying height adaptive system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drying height adaptive system includes a main control module arranged in the clothes drying machine host and a distance detection module arranged on the clothes drying machine rod. Specifically, the distance detection module is installed at the bottom or outer side of the clothes drying machine rod. Applicable to space application, the clothes drying machine rod on which the distance detection module is installed should be the rod on the side when the user approaches the clothes drying machine from the daily activity space, and the outer side faces the user's daily activity space.

[0044] The distance detection module is communicatively connected with the main control module. Specifically, the communication between the distance detection module and the main control module can be achieved through short-range wireless communication methods such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (Wireless-Fidelity), and ZigBee. The detection direction of the distance detection module is toward the bottom or outside of the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine. With the clothes drying rod as the starting point, it detects whether there is a detection object, such as a human body, within a predetermined distance in a predetermined direction. When the detection object is detected within a predetermined distance in a predetermined direction, the detection result is sent to the main control module through short-range wireless communication. The value of the predetermined distance is pre-written into the memory in the distance detection module. Generally, the predetermined direction is adapted to the installation position of the distance detection module on the clothes drying rod. The distance detection module can achieve detection based on ultrasonic waves, lasers, radars, or infrared rays.

[0045] The main control module is used to control the drying rod to stop lifting through the power system of the clothes drying machine according to the received detection result. The main control module is connected to the motor through the motor driver. After receiving the detection result reported by the distance detection module, the main control module sends a stop drive signal to the motor driver. The motor driver responds to the stop drive signal and controls the steel wire rope or the lifting member to stop lifting and lowering through the motor, so as to stop the lifting and lowering of the drying rod, so that the drying rod stays at a drying height that matches the height of the detected object, thereby realizing the adaptive drying height of the clothes drying machine user.

[0046] The drying height adaptive system provided by the present invention is applied to a clothes drying machine. The system, by setting a distance detection module connected to a main control module, can realize the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine to stay at a drying height that matches the height of the detected object based on the structure and circuit construction, thereby realizing the drying height adaptiveness of the clothes drying machine user and significantly improving the intelligence level of the clothes drying machine.

[0047] In addition, the drying height adaptive system also includes a first wireless communication unit arranged in the clothes drying machine host, and the first wireless communication unit is electrically connected to the main control module and realizes data transmission through a wire.

[0048] The distance detection module includes a control unit, a distance measuring unit and a second wireless communication unit, and the control unit is electrically connected to the distance measuring unit and the second wireless communication unit through a wire to achieve data transmission. The distance measuring unit is electrically connected to the control unit through a wire, and the distance measuring unit is used to detect the presence of a detection object within a predetermined distance from the clothes-drying rod in a predetermined direction, and send the detection result to the control unit. The control unit is connected to the second wireless communication unit through a wire to send the detection result to the second wireless communication unit, and the second wireless communication unit is communicatively connected to the first wireless communication unit to send the detection result to the main control module through the first wireless communication unit. The first wireless communication unit and the second wireless communication unit communicate based on the same communication method.

[0049] Specifically, when the ranging unit is installed on the clothes drying rod, the detection port faces the bottom or outside of the clothes drying machine, that is, the detection direction faces the bottom or outside of the clothes drying rod. Taking the clothes drying rod as the starting point, it detects whether there is a detection object, such as a human body, within a predetermined distance in a predetermined direction. When the detection object is detected in the predetermined direction, the detection result is sent to the control unit via a wire. The memory of the control unit pre-stores a predetermined distance for determining whether to report the detection result. If it is determined that the detection object exists within the predetermined distance, the control unit sends the detection result to the second wireless communication unit via a wire. The second wireless communication unit located on the clothes drying rod communicates with the first wireless communication unit located in the host based on the same communication method, thereby realizing a communication connection between the clothes drying rod and the host. The second wireless communication unit sends the detection result to the first wireless communication unit, and the first wireless communication unit then sends it to the main control module in the host through a wire, so that after receiving the detection result reported by the distance detection module, the main control module sends a stop drive signal to the motor driver. The motor driver responds to the stop drive signal and controls the steel wire rope or the lifting part through the motor to stop the lifting movement, thereby stopping the lifting and lowering of the clothes drying rod. Based on the above structure and circuit structure, the clothes drying rod can stay at a drying height that matches the height of the detected object, thereby realizing the adaptive drying height of the clothes drying machine user.

[0050] The distance measuring unit includes one of an ultrasonic distance measuring unit, a laser distance measuring unit, a radar distance measuring unit or an infrared distance measuring unit. As a preferred example, the distance measuring unit is an ultrasonic distance measuring unit, which detects the actual distance from the clothes drying rod to the detection object by sending and receiving ultrasonic signals, and can meet the detection requirements of stable performance at low cost.

[0051] In addition, the distance measurement detection module also includes a power supply unit and a step-down unit arranged on the clothes drying rod, and the power supply unit can be specifically a battery. The input end of the step-down unit is connected to the power supply unit, and the output end is connected to the distance measuring unit and the second wireless communication unit. The power supply unit is used to supply power to the distance measuring unit and the second wireless communication unit via the step-down unit. Specifically, the power supply unit is connected to the step-down unit through a wire, and the step-down unit is then connected to the distance measuring unit and the second wireless communication unit through a wire. The step-down unit is used to reduce the battery voltage to 3.3V and then supply power to the distance measuring unit and the second wireless communication unit. By arranging a power supply unit and a step-down unit in the distance measurement detection module, the problem that the clothes drying rod is not electrically connected to the host and cannot be powered on can be solved, and power supply support can be provided for the normal operation of each functional module unit on the clothes drying rod.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the distance detection module also includes a rotating mechanism, which is electrically connected to the control unit in the distance detection module through a wire. The rotating mechanism can be rotatably set on the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine, and the distance measuring unit is installed on the rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism is used to rotate and adjust the detection direction of the distance measuring unit under the control of the control unit. The control unit sends a rotation drive signal to the rotating mechanism through a wire. When the rotating mechanism rotates under the control of the control unit, it will drive the distance measuring unit installed on the rotating mechanism to rotate, thereby adjusting the detection direction of the distance measuring unit. The distance detection module adopts a rotatable structure to realize the flexible application of the drying height adaptive system to complex usage scenarios. Based on the above structure and circuit structure, the detection direction of the distance detection module can be automatically adjusted without the need for users to manually adjust according to actual usage needs, providing strong technical support for the distance detection module to provide accurate detection results.

[0053] Specifically, the rotating mechanism includes a driving unit and a roller, the roller is rotatably mounted on the clothes drying rod and rotates along the outer circumference of the clothes drying rod, the distance measuring unit is installed on the roller, the control unit is electrically connected to the driving unit through a wire, the driving unit is electrically connected to the roller through a wire, the control unit sends a driving signal to the driving unit, and the driving unit drives the roller to rotate, when the roller rotates under the control of the control unit, it drives the distance measuring unit installed on the roller to rotate, thereby adjusting the detection direction of the distance measuring unit. Based on the above structure and circuit structure, the detection direction of the distance detection module can be automatically adjusted without the need for manual adjustment by the user according to actual usage requirements.

[0054] In addition, the power supply unit in the distance measurement detection module is also electrically connected to the rotating mechanism through a wire to realize power supply to the rotating mechanism. Whether a step-down unit needs to be connected between the power supply unit and the rotating mechanism is determined by the rated voltage and current of the driving unit in the rotating mechanism.

[0055] In addition, the drying height adaptive system also includes an auxiliary distance detection module arranged on the clothes drying machine host, and the auxiliary distance detection module is used to detect the position of the clothes drying machine rod relative to the host. Specifically, the auxiliary distance detection module is installed at the bottom of the clothes drying machine host and is electrically connected to the main control module through a wire or is connected to the main control module through a first wireless communication unit with the help of a built-in third wireless communication unit. The detection direction of the auxiliary distance detection module is toward the clothes drying machine rod, and the position of the rod that can be raised and lowered relative to the clothes drying machine host relative to the host is determined by sending and receiving signals. The auxiliary distance detection module can realize detection based on ultrasonic, laser, radar or infrared, that is, the auxiliary distance detection module includes one of an ultrasonic ranging unit, a laser ranging unit, a radar ranging unit or an infrared ranging unit. As a preferred example, the ranging unit is an ultrasonic ranging unit, which detects the actual distance from the drying rod to the detection object by sending and receiving ultrasonic signals, and can meet the detection requirements of stable performance at a low cost.

[0056] In addition, the drying height adaptive system also includes a weighing module arranged on the clothes drying rod, the weighing module is used to detect the weight information borne by the clothes drying rod, the weighing module is connected to the main control module through the first wireless communication unit, and the weight borne by the clothes drying rod is detected under the control of the main control module. By setting the weighing module, the drying and collecting conditions of the clothes on the clothes drying rod can be determined.

[0057] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a drying control method implemented by the drying height adaptive system described in any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0058] Step S110: When the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine is lowered, a distance detection signal is emitted from the clothes drying rod toward a first direction.

[0059] During the descent of the clothes drying rod, the distance detection module monitors whether a detection object appears in a predetermined direction. Specifically, the detection direction of the distance detection module is toward the bottom or outside of the clothes drying rod, and the distance detection signal is emitted toward a first direction with the clothes drying rod as the starting point.

[0060] In this embodiment, the distance detection module is installed at the bottom or outer side of the clothes drying rod. Applicable to space applications, the clothes drying rod on which the distance detection module is installed should be the rod on the side when the user approaches the clothes drying rod from the daily activity space, and the outer side faces the daily activity space of the user.

[0061] As a preferred implementation, the detection direction of the distance detection module is toward the outside of the clothes drying rod in the horizontal direction, that is, the distance detection module is horizontally installed on the clothes drying rod, and horizontally transmits the distance detection signal to the outside with the drying rod as the starting point. The horizontal transmission of the distance detection signal can be applied to the application scenario where the user approaches the clothes drying rod on one side of the clothes drying machine from the daily activity space to prepare for drying clothes, thereby reducing the probability of false detection caused by the user just passing under the drying area.

[0062] Step S120: when a first distance value is obtained based on the distance detection signal, determining whether the first distance value is within a preset distance range.

[0063] For this embodiment, after the distance detection module continuously transmits a distance detection signal from the clothes-drying rod toward the first direction, when there is a detection object in the first direction, the distance detection signal will be reflected back to the distance detection module, and the distance detection module calculates a first distance value based on the distance detection signal. The memory in the distance detection module pre-writes a numerical value related to a preset distance range. After obtaining the first distance value, the preset distance range data is obtained, and it is determined whether the first distance value is within the preset distance range.

[0064] As a preferred example, the distance detection module includes an ultrasonic distance measuring unit, which detects the actual distance from the clothes-drying rod to the detection object by sending and receiving ultrasonic signals, thereby meeting the detection requirements with stable performance at a low cost.

[0065] If yes, execute step S130: control the drying rod to stop descending after a predetermined time.

[0066] For this embodiment, if the first distance value detected by the distance detection module is within the preset distance range, it is determined that the condition that a user is ready to dry clothes is met. In order to further improve the comfort of the user's drying, a delay time is set to control the drying rod to stop descending, so that the drying rod stops at a drying height that is suitable for the user's height and convenient for the user to operate. The predetermined time length can be 1 to 5 seconds, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0067] The drying control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is based on a drying height adaptive system, which can enable the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine to stay at a drying height that is compatible with the height of the detected object, thereby achieving drying height adaptation of the clothes drying machine user and significantly improving the intelligence level of the clothes drying machine.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, the drying control method further includes: if the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine descends to the lower limit of the travel and the first distance value within the preset distance range is not detected, controlling the clothes drying rod to rise to the preset drying position.

[0069] For this embodiment, during the process of the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine descending to the lower limit of the travel, the detection object may not be detected, that is, the user may not appear during this period. In this case, the pre-stored drying height can be obtained, and the drying rod can be controlled to rise to the preset drying position corresponding to the drying height to improve the drying height control efficiency.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, the drying control method includes: if the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine descends to the lower limit of the travel and the first distance value within the preset distance range is not detected, controlling the clothes drying rod to rise and driving the rotating mechanism to rotate and adjust the detection direction of the distance detection module; during the rising process of the clothes drying rod, emitting a distance detection signal from the clothes drying rod between the first direction and the second direction; when a second distance value is obtained based on the distance detection signal, determining whether the second distance value is within the preset distance range; if so, controlling the clothes drying rod to stop rising.

[0071] In this embodiment, during the process of the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine descending to the lower limit of the travel, the detection object may not be detected, that is, the user may not appear during the period. In this case, the detection direction of the distance detection module is changed by driving the rotating mechanism to achieve re-detection of whether the detection object exists. Among them, changing the detection direction of the detection module can be specifically adjusted from the clothes drying rod toward the first direction to the second direction, and emitting a distance detection signal toward the fixed second direction; it can also be specifically dynamically scanning from the clothes drying rod toward the first direction to the second direction and emitting a distance detection signal. This method can improve the efficiency of detecting the detection object.

[0072] The distance detection module continuously emits a distance detection signal after turning. When there is a detection object between the first direction and the second direction, the distance detection signal will be reflected back to the distance detection module. The distance detection module calculates a second distance value based on the distance detection signal. The memory in the distance detection module pre-writes a numerical value related to a preset distance range. After obtaining the second distance value, the preset distance range data is obtained, and it is determined whether the second distance value is within the preset distance range. When the second distance value is within the preset distance range, the clothes drying rod is controlled to stop rising.

[0073] The method can adapt to complex drying scenarios, and the realization of drying height self-adaptation is ensured by setting a rotating mechanism to drive the distance detection module to rotate.
