[0002] When clothes and quilts are dried in the sun, they will produce a special "sunshine smell".

[0057] The difference between the clothes drying machines in the above four preferred embodiments is only the difference in the light emitted by the light source device 1. The rest of the structures and settings are the same and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific location of the light source device 1 and the lens 2 on the clothes drying machine and the connection method with the clothes drying machine. Figure 1 The direction shown is a reference direction, and the light source device 1 can be embedded in the main body 5, or can be connected to the main body 5 by screws or bolts, or the light source device 1 and the lens 2 can be connected to the clothes drying rod 7 and located above the clothes 8 to illuminate the clothes 8 and produce a sunlight smell. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual conditions.

[0059] Furthermore, the clothes drying machine comprises an adjusting component 3 , and the lens 2 is arranged inside the body of the clothes drying machine through the adjusting component 3 . The adjusting component 3 is arranged so that the lens 2 can be movably adjusted relative to the light source device 1 .

[0060] See also Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, as a first preferred embodiment of the adjustment component 3, the adjustment component 3 includes a first sliding member 31, a second sliding member 32, a driving member 33 and a moving member 34, the light source device 1 includes a plurality of light source lamps 11 and a fixed plate 12, the plurality of light source lamps 11 are arranged on the fixed plate 12, a receiving cavity 121 is arranged on the fixed plate 12, the driving member 33 is arranged in the receiving cavity 121, the driving member 33 is connected to the moving member 34, the moving member 34 is connected to the first sliding member 31, the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 are slidably connected, the second sliding member 32 is fixedly connected to the lens 2, and the lens 2 is connected to the driving mechanism (Not shown in the figure), the driving mechanism can be a motor driving mechanism or a hydraulic driving structure, and the driving mechanism drives the lens 2 to move forward and backward; a plurality of lamp slots 21 are arranged on the lens 2, and the number of the lamp slots 21 and the light source lamp 11 are the same, and they are arranged one by one, and the driving member 33 can drive the moving member 34 to move up and down. In the initial state, the light source lamp 11 is placed in the lamp slot 21. When the moving member 34 moves upward, the lamp slot 21 and the light source lamp 11 are separated. After the moving member 34 moves a preset distance, the driving mechanism drives the lens 2 to move, and the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 are used to realize the forward and backward movement of the lens 2.

[0061] The first sliding member 31 is a slide groove, and the second sliding member 32 is a slider matching the slide groove. Of course, this is only a preferred setting method. The first sliding member 31 can also be a slide rail, and the second sliding member 32 can be a slider matching the slide rail. The first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 can also be other matching structures. Those skilled in the art can set them according to actual conditions.

[0062] The driving member 33 is a driving motor, which is connected to a screw (not shown in the figure), and the moving member 34 is sleeved on the screw. The moving member 34 is provided with a thread matching the screw. The screw rotates to move the moving member 34 up and down, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the lens 2. Of course, this is only a preferred setting mode. Alternatively, the driving member 33 may be a hydraulic cylinder, and the moving member 34 may be a telescopic rod. The hydraulic cylinder drives the telescopic rod to move telescopically to realize the up and down movement of the lens 2. Those skilled in the art may set it according to actual conditions.

[0063] Multiple lamp grooves 21 correspond to multiple light source lamps 11 one by one, and the lamp grooves 21 are recessed toward the direction of the lens 2. The surface of the lamp grooves 21 is a plurality of diamond-shaped protrusions (not shown in the figure). The plurality of diamond-shaped protrusions are circumferentially arranged around the center of the lamp grooves 21 to form a refraction circle. There are multiple refraction circles, and the centers of the multiple refraction circles are the same. Based on this, the refraction of light is realized through the structure of the multiple lamp grooves 21, so that the angle of the light emitted by the light source lamp 11 is adjusted and then irradiated onto the clothes 8 on the clothes drying rod 7.

[0064] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any limitation on the specific structures of the lens 2 and the lamp trough 21. Any lens structure that can adjust the irradiation angle of light in the prior art can be used, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual conditions.

Based on this adjustment, the correspondence between the light source lamp 11 and the lamp slot 21 and the translation of the lens 2 are changed to achieve the adjustment of the light irradiation angle and the translation of the irradiation area. During the adjustment process, it is sufficient to ensure that the distance that the lens 2 moves forward and backward is a multiple of the distance between the two adjacent lamp slots 21.

[0066] Furthermore, the light source lamp 11 includes a first lamp 111, a second lamp 112 and a third lamp 113. The first lamp 111 can emit visible light that makes the clothes 8 smell like sunshine, the second lamp 112 can emit infrared rays, and the third lamp 113 can emit UVC band ultraviolet rays. The first lamp 111, the second lamp 112 and the third lamp 113 are located in the middle of the plurality of light source lamps 11, so that no matter whether the lens 2 moves forward or backward, there is a lamp slot 21 corresponding to the first lamp 111, the second lamp 112 and the third lamp 113.

[0067] In the first preferred embodiment of the adjustment component 3, as Figure 2 As shown, the number of the first sliding member 31, the second sliding member 32, the driving member 33 and the moving member 34 are all two, and they are symmetrically distributed.

Figure 3 As shown, the number of the driving member 33 and the moving member 34 are both one, the left and right ends of the moving member 34 extend upward to connect to the left and right first sliding components 31 respectively, and the middle part of the moving member 34 extends downward to connect to the driving member 33. Based on this, the left and right ends of the moving member 34 maintain synchronous movement to prevent the lens 2 from tilting.

[0068] See also Figure 4 The adjustment assembly 3 of the third preferred embodiment only includes a first sliding member 31 and a second sliding member 32 . In this case, only the front-rear movement of the lens 2 relative to the light source device 1 is realized.

[0069] See also Figure 7 The adjustment component 3 of the fourth preferred embodiment includes a driving member 33, a moving member 34, a ball head 35 and a connecting column 36.

[0070] Furthermore, in the present invention, the clothes drying machine also includes a seal 4, a gap is formed between the lens 2 and the light source device 1, the seal 4 seals the gap, and the seal 4 is configured to be retractable or deformable; the seal 4 surrounds the light source device 1 and the lens 2 to seal the gap between the light source device 1 and the lens 2, prevent water vapor or water droplets from entering the light source device 1, and prevent malfunctions from occurring.

[0071] exist Figures 2 to 7 In the preferred embodiment, the seal 4 is included. Figures 2 to 6 Not shown in Figure 7 The third preferred embodiment is used as an example to illustrate the seal 4. Figure 7 As shown, the fixing plate 12 is provided with a first connecting portion 122 surrounding the fixing plate 12, and a first fixing portion 41 is provided below the sealing member 4. The first fixing portion 41 is sleeved onto the first connecting portion 122, and a first clamping block 1221 is provided on the first connecting portion 122. The first clamping block 1221 is provided on the first fixing portion 41, and a first clamping hole matching the first clamping block 1221 is provided on the first fixing portion 41. The first connecting portion 122 and the first fixing portion 41 are fixed by the first clamping block 1221 and the first clamping hole, thereby fixing the sealing member 4 to the light source device 1. A second connecting portion 22 surrounding the lens 2 is provided on the mirror 2, a second fixing portion 42 is provided above the sealing member 4, the second fixing portion 42 is sleeved onto the second connecting portion 22, a second clamping block 221 is provided on the second connecting portion 22, a second clamping hole matching the second clamping block 221 is provided on the second fixing portion 42, the second connecting portion 22 and the second fixing portion 42 are fixed by the second clamping block 221 and the second clamping hole, and then the sealing member 4 and the lens are fixed; based on this, the sealing member 4 seals the light source device 1 and the lens 2.

[0072] It should be noted that the present invention does not show any connection method between the seal 4 and the light source device 1 and the lens 2. The seal 4 and the fixing plate 12 may be connected by screws, and the seal 4 and the lens 2 may be connected by screws or by bonding. The technicians in this field may set it according to the actual situation.

[0073] Furthermore, the seal 4 is a retractable elastic sealing structure and a cylindrical structure. Of course, this is not restrictive. The seal 4 can also be a waterproof cloth. When the lens 2 and the light source device 1 are not moving relative to each other and are in the original state, the waterproof cloth is in a loose or folded state so as not to hinder the movement of the lens 2.

[0074] See next Figure 1 ,like Figure 1As shown, the clothes drying machine further includes a heat dissipation device 6, which is connected to the light source device 1 and is used to dissipate heat from the light source device 1. The heat dissipation device 6 can be a fan, a heat sink, or other types of radiators, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual conditions.

[0075] In addition, in the present invention, the lens 2 is configured to make the irradiation angle of the light source device 1 less than 180 degrees, thereby avoiding waste of light emitted by the light source device 1, making it easier for the clothes 8 to produce a sunlight smell, and having a gain effect on the clothes 8 producing a sunlight smell.

[0076] Further, in the present invention, the wavelength of the visible light emitted by the light source device 1 is preferably 400nm-780nm. The use of visible light in this wavelength can make the clothes 8 smell like sunshine, and the effect of making the clothes 8 smell like sunshine is significant. Of course, this is not restrictive. The specific value of the wavelength of the visible light emitted by the light source device 1 can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions.

[0077] Furthermore, the light source device 1 is configured to have an adjustable illumination intensity. Specifically, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the power of the light source device 1. When the power of the light source device 1 increases, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 increases, and when the power of the light source device 1 decreases, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 decreases.

[0078] In addition, in the present invention, the light source device 1, the lens 2 and the heat dissipation device 6 are all embedded in the body 5. When the lens 2 and the light source device 1 do not move relative to each other and are in the original state, the lower surface of the lens 2 is flush with the lower surface of the body 5, thereby improving the aesthetics of the equipment.

[0079] In another preferred embodiment, the clothes drying machine does not include the adjustment component 3, the lens 2 is fixedly connected to the light source device 1, and the light emitted by the light source device 1 is fixedly adjusted to a certain area below the clothes drying rod 7, such as Figure 1 As shown in , the irradiation area of ​​the light source device 1 can be adjusted to the irradiation area Q through the lens 2. Regarding the adjustment angle of the irradiation direction of the light source device 1, those skilled in the art can set it according to actual conditions.

[0080] In another preferred embodiment, the light source device 1 is connected to the main body 5, and the lens 2 is connected to the main body 5 through the adjustment component 3, that is, the fixing plate 12 is a part of the main body 5; the light source device 1 can be the fixing plate 12 and the light source lamp 11, or it can be just the light source lamp 11. The specific conductive circuit of the light source device 1 is not shown in the present invention, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual conditions.

[0081] In summary, the present invention can make the clothes 8 smell like sunshine without damaging the clothes 8, and through the setting of the lens 2, the light emitted by the light source device 1 can be adjusted to a fixed area to improve the lighting effect.

[0082] The light source device 1 of the present invention can emit light that makes clothes smell like sunshine, which is visible light or a combination of visible light and infrared light or a combination of visible light and ultraviolet light in the UVC band or a combination of visible light, infrared light and ultraviolet light in the UVC band.

[0083] Furthermore, the clothes drying machine of the present invention further comprises a controller, and the controller is configured to control all operations of the clothes drying machine.

[0084] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention does not impose any limitations on the specific structure and model of the controller, and the controller may be either an original controller of the clothes drying machine or a separate controller configured to execute the control method of the present invention. Technicians may set the structure and model of the controller according to actual usage requirements.

[0085] See next Figure 8 ,like Figure 8 As shown, the control method of the clothes drying machine of the present invention mainly includes the following steps:

[0086] Step S1: when the clothes are hung on the clothes-drying rod, obtaining a first weight of the clothes;

[0087] Step S2: obtaining the second weight of the clothes in real time;

[0088] Step S3: Calculate the difference between the first weight and the second weight;

[0089] Step S4: comparing the difference between the first weight and the second weight with a preset difference;

[0090] Step S5: Based on the comparison result, selectively control the light source device to turn on.

[0091] Specifically, in step S1, a sensor is provided on the clothes drying rod 7. When the user hangs the clothes on the clothes drying rod 7, the sensor can sense the original weight of the clothes at this time, and transmit the data to the controller, which is recorded as the first weight. Then, in step S2, the sensor senses the weight change of the clothes in real time, and transmits the real-time measured weight value to the controller, which is recorded as the second weight. The first weight is a fixed value, and the value of the second weight changes in real time. Then, in step S3, the calculation module of the clothes drying machine calculates the difference between the first weight and the second weight. The difference changes in real time, and the difference is compared with the preset difference. In step S5, if the difference is If the value is greater than or equal to the preset difference, it proves that there is a weight change of the clothes and the preset standard is reached. The clothes have less moisture and are in a relatively dry state. If the clothes are irradiated when they are relatively wet, the same irradiation time and irradiation intensity will make the clothes produce a poor effect of sunshine smell. It is necessary to extend the irradiation time or increase the irradiation intensity to improve the effect of the sunshine smell. The present invention controls the light source device 1 to turn on when the clothes are relatively dry, so as to avoid turning on the light source device in advance and wasting the use cost of the clothes drying machine, and can also give full play to the best energy efficiency of the light source device, which has a gain effect on the production of sunshine smell on the clothes.

[0092] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restriction on the specific value of the preset difference. The user can set the specific value of the preset difference by himself through the controller or operation panel of the clothes drying machine, or the preset difference can be determined by the following method: before the user washes the clothes, the clothes are in a relatively dry state, the weight of the clothes themselves is obtained, and the weight of the clothes themselves is input into the clothes drying machine. The controller controls the calculation module to calculate the first weight minus the weight of the clothes themselves to obtain a standard value, so that the preset difference is less than or equal to the standard value. When the preset difference is less than the standard value, the difference between the two is not likely to be too large, so as to ensure that the clothes are in a relatively dry state when being air-dried or dried. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual conditions.

[0093] See next Fig. 9 The detailed steps of a preferred embodiment of the control method of the present invention are as follows:

[0094] Step S101: when clothes are hung on the clothes-drying rod, obtaining a first weight of the clothes;

[0095] Step S102: obtaining the second weight of the clothes in real time;

[0096] Step S103: Calculate the difference between the first weight and the second weight;

[0097] Step S104: comparing the difference between the first weight and the second weight with a preset difference;

[0098] Step S105: If the difference between the first weight and the second weight is greater than or equal to a preset difference, the light source device is controlled to turn on;

[0099] Step S106: if the difference between the first weight and the second weight is less than a preset difference, controlling the light source device to remain turned off;

[0100] Step S107: if the light source device is in the on state, then after a first preset time period, the light source device is controlled to be turned off;

[0101] Step S108: obtaining the material of the clothes hung on the clothes drying rod;

[0102] Step S109: controlling the irradiation time of the light source device according to the material of the clothing;

[0103] Step S1091: If the material of the clothing is cotton, controlling the irradiation time of the light source device to last for a second preset time period;

[0104] Step S1092: If the material of the clothing is silk or fur, controlling the irradiation time of the light source device to last for a third preset time period;

[0105] Step S110: controlling the illumination intensity of the light source device according to the material of the clothing;

[0106] Step S1101: if the material of the clothing is cotton, controlling the illumination intensity of the light source device to be a first illumination intensity;

[0107] Step S1102: If the material of the clothing is silk or fur, the illumination intensity of the light source device is controlled to be a second illumination intensity.

[0108] Specifically, in step S101, when the user hangs the clothes on the clothes drying rod 7, the sensor can sense the original weight of the clothes at this time, and transmit the data to the controller, which is recorded as the first weight. Then in step S102, the sensor senses the weight change of the clothes in real time, and transmits the real-time measured weight value to the controller, which is recorded as the second weight. The first weight is a fixed value, and the value of the second weight changes in real time. Then in step S103, the calculation module of the clothes drying machine calculates the difference between the first weight and the second weight. The difference changes in real time, and the difference is compared with the preset difference. In step S103, if the difference is less than the preset difference, it proves that there is more moisture on the clothes. If the light source device 1 is turned on at this time, it will waste the use cost and cannot produce a good sunshine smell, so enter step S106 and control the light source device 1 to remain turned off; if in step S104, the comparison result is that the difference is greater than or equal to the preset difference, it proves that there is less moisture on the clothes and is in a relatively dry state. At this time, turning on the light source device 1 will not waste the use cost of the clothes drying machine, but can also give full play to the best energy efficiency of the light source device, which has a gain effect on the production of sunshine smell on the clothes.

[0109] Furthermore, after executing step S105, step S107 and step S108 are simultaneously executed. In step S107, after the light source device 1 is turned on, it works for a first preset time, and then the light source device 1 is controlled to be turned off. After the first preset time of irradiation, the clothes have a sunshine smell. The first preset time can be 30 minutes, 40 minutes, or other values. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual conditions.

[0110] Furthermore, when the light source device 1 is turned on, step S108 is entered to obtain the material of the clothes hung on the clothes drying rod 7. The user can manually select or input the material of the clothes through the controller or control panel of the clothes drying machine. Based on this, the controller receives and obtains the material of the clothes inside the clothes drying machine. The material of the clothes can also be obtained through a clothing material recognition device in the prior art.

[0111] In step S109, the irradiation time of the light source device 1 is controlled accordingly according to the material of the clothes. According to different materials, the light source device 1 is controlled to continue for different irradiation times. Regarding the specific value of the irradiation time, technical personnel in this field can set it according to actual conditions. If the material of the clothes is cotton, the process enters step S1091, and the irradiation time of the light source device 1 is controlled to continue for the second preset time length and then turn off. The second preset time length is 30 minutes to avoid damage to the cotton clothes caused by long-term irradiation. If the material of the clothes is silk or fur, the irradiation time of the light source device 1 is controlled to continue for the third preset time length, and the third preset time length is less than the second preset time length.

[0112] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific values ​​of the second preset time length and the third preset time length. The second preset time length can also be 28 minutes, 29 minutes, or other values. The third preset time length only needs to be less than the second preset time length. Technical personnel in this field can set it according to actual conditions.

[0113] When the material of the clothing is cotton, step S1091 is executed first and step S107 is not executed. When the material of the clothing is silk or fur, step S1092 is executed first and step S107 is not executed. When the material of the clothing is other materials, step S107 is executed first.

[0114] In step S110, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 is controlled accordingly according to the material of different clothes. If the material of the clothes is not easily exposed to strong light, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 is reduced, and the power of the light source device 1 is controlled to be reduced. If the material of the clothes is easily exposed to strong light, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 is increased, and the power of the light source device 1 is controlled to be increased.

[0115] Further, step S110 includes step S1101 and step S1102. In step S1101, if the material of the clothes is cotton, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 is controlled to be a first illumination intensity. In step S1102, if the material of the clothes is silk or fur, the illumination intensity of the light source device 1 is controlled to be a second illumination intensity, wherein the first illumination intensity is an illumination intensity at which cotton clothes will not fade or be damaged after long-term exposure, and the second illumination intensity is less than the first illumination intensity.

[0116] In another preferred embodiment, step S110 includes only one of step S1101 and step S1102.

[0117] In another preferred embodiment, step S109 includes only one of step S1091 and step S1092.
