Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of smart home technology, and in particular to a control system, a control method, and related equipment for a smart clothes drying machine. Background Art

[0002] In existing smart clothes drying machines, a clothes drying function is added on the basis of natural drying, which accelerates the clothes drying efficiency by blowing air to the clothes with the help of a dryer and / or an air cooler.

[0003] However, since the clothes hung in the smart clothes drying machine are in an open space, the drying efficiency achieved by using the existing drying function is low, the energy consumption is high, and it may cause problems such as wrinkling of clothes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control system, a control method, and related equipment for an intelligent clothes drying machine, which are used to improve the drying efficiency, reduce energy consumption, avoid the problem of clothes wrinkles caused by the drying function, and maintain the aesthetics of the clothes.

[0005] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a control system for an intelligent clothes drying machine is provided, which is applied to the intelligent clothes drying machine. The intelligent clothes drying machine includes a main unit and a clothes drying rod assembly connected to the main unit via a lifting assembly. The control system includes: A main control module is arranged on the host; a vibration module, disposed on the host and / or the drying rod assembly, and in communication with the main control module; the vibration module comprises at least one ultrasonic generator and a plurality of vibration transducers driven by the at least one ultrasonic generator; In which, the ultrasonic generator is used to generate an ultrasonic signal under the first operating parameter indicated by the main control module, and the vibration transducer is used to convert the ultrasonic signal into mechanical vibration under the second operating parameter indicated by the main control module, so as to transmit the vibration to the clothes hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly; the first operating parameter and the second operating parameter are determined by the main control module based on the drying status, and are transmitted to the vibration module when it is determined that the preset trigger conditions are met.

[0006] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control system provided includes a vibration module built into a host or a clothes drying rod assembly, and the vibration module is communicatively connected to the main control module and can perform vibration operations under the control of the main control module. The vibration module includes at least one ultrasonic generator and a plurality of vibration transducers driven by at least one ultrasonic generator, that is, one ultrasonic generator can be connected to one or more vibration transducers; the ultrasonic generator is used to generate an ultrasonic signal under the first operating parameter indicated by the main control module, and the vibration transducer is used to convert the ultrasonic signal into mechanical vibration under the second operating parameter indicated by the main control module, so as to transmit the vibration to the clothes hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly, thereby realizing ultrasonic vibration clothes dehydration. In addition, the first operating parameter and the second operating parameter can be determined by the main control module based on the drying state, and transmitted to the vibration module when it is determined that the preset trigger conditions are met, so as to control the operation of the corresponding components. The implementation of the present disclosure provides an ultrasonic vibration drying function, which can achieve vibration drying by generating ultrasonic signals and converting them into mechanical vibrations, which is beneficial to improving the drying efficiency. Under ultrasonic vibration drying, there is no need to use drying components such as drying and blowing to perform operations, which is beneficial to reducing energy consumption. It can also avoid the problem of clothing wrinkles caused by hot air drying and maintain the beauty of the clothes. In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure can perform intelligent control under specific conditions through the main control module, such as dynamically determining operating parameters based on the drying status, further improving the flexibility of the drying function of the intelligent clothes drying machine.

[0007] In a feasible embodiment, when the vibration module is disposed on the host, the vibration module further includes at least one of the following: a first conducting component, a first end of which is connected to the vibration transducer, a second end of which is connected to the drying rod component, and which longitudinally expands and contracts as the drying rod component rises and falls; The second conducting component has a first end connected to the vibration transducer and can be stored laterally at the bottom of the main unit, or can be partially suspended in the area where the drying rod component is located.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the vibration module is disposed on one side of the main unit, to more effectively transmit vibration energy to the clothes, the vibration module further includes a first conductive component and / or a second conductive component. The first conductive component has a first end connected to a vibration transducer and a second end connected to a clothes drying rod assembly. Mechanical vibrations converted by the vibration transducer can be transmitted to the clothes drying rod assembly via the first conductive component, thereby being transmitted to the clothes drying rod assembly and adapting to the raising and lowering of the clothes drying rod assembly. The first conductive component can also longitudinally extend and retract with the raising and lowering of the clothes drying rod assembly, thereby ensuring vibration transmission while improving compatibility with the original functions of the smart clothes drying machine. The first end of the second conductive component can be connected to the vibration transducer. On this basis, the entire component can be laterally stored at the bottom of the main unit, that is, when the second conductive component is not in use, the integrity and neatness of the smart clothes drying machine can be maintained. Alternatively, the component can be partially suspended in the area where the clothes drying rod assembly is located. When the ultrasonic vibration clothes drying function is used, the second conductive component can transmit vibration energy to an area closer to the clothes drying rod assembly and conduct the vibration energy through the air, reducing vibration energy loss.

[0009] In a feasible embodiment, a groove for accommodating the second conductive component is formed along the length of the bottom of the main unit, the vibration transducer is arranged adjacent to one end of the groove, and a matching structure detachably connected to the second end of the second conductive component is arranged at the other end; And / or, the matching structure includes an electrical control structure for connecting to or disconnecting from the second end of the second conductive component under the control of the main control module; And / or, an electronic control component is further configured at the connection between the first end of the second conduction component and the vibration transducer, for lowering the second conduction component or storing the second conduction component at the bottom of the host under the control of the main control module.

[0010] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to better accommodate the second conductive component, a groove is further provided along the length direction at the bottom of the main body. A vibration transducer is arranged at an adjacent position at one end of the groove, and a matching structure detachably connected to the second end of the second conductive component is arranged at the other end. The matching structure can be used to accommodate and release the second conductive component through the second end of the second conductive component. If the matching structure is a magnetic structure, a corresponding magnetic structure is also arranged on the second end of the second conductive component. The two are adsorbed by the magnetic structure to accommodate the entire second conductive component in the groove. The two can also be manually separated to separate the second end of the second conductive component from the groove to release the entire second conductive component.

[0011] Optionally, in order to improve intelligent control, the matching structure also includes an electrical control structure, which can control the connection or separation of the matching structure and the second end of the second conduction component through the main control module without the need for manual operation by the user. This is conducive to simplifying the operational complexity of ultrasonic vibration drying and improving the integrity of intelligent control.

[0012] Optionally, an electronic control component can be configured at the connection between the first end of the second conduction component and the vibration transducer. Under the control of the main control module, the second conduction component can be lowered or stored at the bottom of the main unit. This can simplify the operation of the ultrasonic vibration drying function, improve the degree of intelligent control, and eliminate the need for manual operation by the user.

[0013] In a feasible embodiment, when the vibration module is arranged in the host, a first permanent magnet connected to the vibration transducer is arranged at the bottom of the host, and a second permanent magnet is arranged on the drying rod assembly; Wherein, the main control module is also used to instruct the vibration transducer to drive the first permanent magnet to vibrate when it is determined that the distance between the drying rod assembly and the host is less than a preset distance, so as to transfer vibration energy to the second permanent magnet through magnetic field coupling.

[0014] In the disclosed embodiment, vibration energy can also be transmitted through magnetic field coupling. Optionally, when the vibration module is arranged in the main unit, a first permanent magnet connected to the vibration transducer can be arranged at the bottom of the main unit, and a second permanent magnet can be arranged on the clothes drying rod assembly at the corresponding position. On this basis, when the main control module determines that the distance between the clothes drying rod assembly and the main unit is less than the preset distance, it can instruct the vibration transducer to drive the first permanent magnet to vibrate, so as to transmit vibration energy to the second permanent magnet through magnetic field coupling, thereby transmitting the vibration to the clothes hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly. This magnetic field coupling transmission method can effectively maintain the effectiveness of the transmitted vibration energy on the basis of simplifying the arranged components, reduce energy consumption, and improve the efficiency of drying clothes.

[0015] In a feasible embodiment, when the vibration module is arranged in the host, the ultrasonic generator is arranged in the middle of the host, the vibration transducers are symmetrically arranged at at least two positions at the four corners of the host, and several vibration transducers are connected in parallel to the output end of the ultrasonic generator.

It should be noted that the following embodiments can refer to, draw on, or combine with each other, and the same terms, similar features, and similar implementation steps in different embodiments will not be repeated.

[0044] The control system of the intelligent clothes drying machine provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail below.

[0045] The control system of the smart clothes drying machine provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to the smart clothes drying machine. On the basis that the smart clothes drying machine includes a host 10 and a clothes drying rod assembly 30 connected to the host 10 via a lifting assembly 20, the control system can include a main control module 13 arranged on the host 10, and a vibration module arranged on the host 10 and / or the clothes drying rod assembly 30. Figure 1As shown, the main control module 13 is connected to the vibration module. The vibration module can perform vibration operation under the control of the main control module 13, and the vibration energy is transmitted (such as through mechanical components or through air) to the clothes hanging on the drying rod assembly 30 to achieve dehydration of the clothes.

[0046] The vibration module includes at least one ultrasonic generator 41 and a plurality of vibration transducers 42 driven by the at least one ultrasonic generator 41 .

[0047] Optionally, the ultrasonic generator 41 is a device that converts and controls electrical energy into ultrasonic energy. It can be used to convert ordinary mains electricity (e.g., AC) into an electrical signal of a specific frequency and power. In the disclosed embodiment, the ultrasonic signal of a specific frequency generated by the ultrasonic generator 41 is the basis for achieving the ultrasonic vibration drying function. This frequency can be determined based on the vibration transducer 42 it drives and the drying requirements. The high-frequency electrical signal output by the ultrasonic generator 41 is used to drive the vibration transducer 42, achieving the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. For example, the parameters of the ultrasonic generator 41 (e.g., frequency, power, etc.) can be adjusted to optimize the state of the high-frequency mechanical vibrations converted by the vibration transducer 42, depending on the material of the clothing, the degree of drying required, and environmental conditions, achieving better drying results. For example, for thicker clothing or quilts, a higher power can be used to enhance the vibration effect.

[0048] In one example, the ultrasonic generator 41 is used to generate a high-frequency ultrasonic signal capable of triggering a cavitation effect, such as a high-frequency ultrasonic signal with a frequency of 20 kHz to 100 kHz.

[0049] Alternatively, the vibration transducer 42 may be made of a material exhibiting a piezoelectric effect, such as piezoelectric ceramics. The piezoelectric effect refers to the phenomenon in which certain crystals generate an electric charge when subjected to an external force. Conversely, when an electric field is applied to the crystal, mechanical deformation occurs. In the vibration transducer 42, the piezoelectric effect is utilized to convert the high-frequency electrical signal output by the ultrasonic generator 41 into a high-frequency mechanical vibration.

[0050] In one example, after converting the high-frequency electrical signal provided by ultrasonic generator 41 into high-frequency mechanical vibrations, vibration transducer 42 can transmit the vibration energy to the clothing through its own structure and contact with the clothing component. The vibration is transmitted between vibration transducer 42 and the clothing in the form of mechanical waves, causing the clothing fibers to vibrate slightly.

[0051] In one example, one ultrasonic generator 41 can drive one vibration transducer 42, or one ultrasonic generator 41 can drive at least two vibration transducers 42. To ensure uniform vibration of the clothes, when the vibration includes multiple ultrasonic generators 41, the operating parameters of each ultrasonic generator 41 are the same. The arrangement of at least two ultrasonic generators 41 and / or multiple vibration transducers 42 can also provide a basis for the implementation of zoning management for clothes vibration drying, such as Figure 1 Taking the shown scenario as an example, the ultrasonic vibration drying function is divided into the left area and the right area for management. When the clothes hung on the right are thicker than those hung on the left, the vibration module in the right area can be controlled to operate to speed up the drying speed of the clothes on the right, so that the clothes hung on the smart clothes drying machine as a whole can be dried within a similar time period.

[0052] In the disclosed embodiment, the high-frequency mechanical vibrations generated by the vibration transducer 42 can induce a cavitation effect (indirectly caused by the high-frequency ultrasonic signal). Cavitation is a physical phenomenon produced when liquids are exposed to ultrasonic waves or shock waves. High-frequency vibrations induce cavitation, which causes water molecules in clothing to collapse into cavities, trapping moisture and removing it from the clothing surface, achieving efficient dehydration. Furthermore, the intelligent clothes drying machine provides the hardware foundation for ultrasonic vibration drying. Ultrasonic vibration drying eliminates the need for high temperatures, effectively reducing energy consumption.

[0053] The main control module 13 can be used to intelligently control the vibration module. Optionally, the main control module 13 can determine the first operating parameters of the ultrasonic generator 41 and the second operating parameters of the vibration transducer 42 based on the drying state to adapt to the drying needs and dynamically adjust the parameters of the vibration module. Then, when it is determined that the preset trigger conditions are met, the relevant operating parameters can be transmitted to the vibration module to instruct the corresponding components to operate. The implementation of this operation can effectively reduce energy consumption and improve drying efficiency.

[0054] In one example, the drying state can be determined based on the weight and humidity of the clothes. For example, a humidity sensor can detect the humidity corresponding to the environment in which the clothes are located and determine the drying state based on the humidity changes. Another example is a weight sensor that detects the weight of the clothes and determines the drying state based on the weight changes. The drying states can include an initial state, an intermediate state, and a drying state. Different states require different drying requirements. After determining the drying state, the main control module 13 can dynamically adjust the parameters of the vibration module based on the drying state, thereby ensuring drying efficiency while reducing energy consumption.

[0055] Exemplarily, for the initial state, when it is detected that clothes with a humidity or weight greater than a first set threshold (which can be determined based on historical data or empirical values) are initially hung on the clothes drying rod assembly 30, the current state is determined to be the initial state.

[0056] For example, for the mid-term state, if the change in humidity over a set period of time is less than a second set threshold, it indicates that the rate of humidity increase has slowed or stabilized, and the clothes have been dehydrated to a certain extent. This state can be determined as a mid-term state. Alternatively, the change in clothing weight over a set period of time can be determined to be less than a third set threshold. If so, this indicates that the weight loss over a specific period of time is very small, indicating that the clothes have been dehydrated to a certain extent. This state can also be determined as a mid-term state.

[0057] For example, for the dry state, it indicates that most of the moisture on the clothes has been removed and the clothes are close to being completely dry, which can be determined by humidity and / or weight. For example, when the air humidity is detected, it is found that the air humidity has not changed within a set time period or the air humidity is within a set humidity range (the range can be dynamically set according to weather data). For example, when the weight of the clothes is detected, it is found that the weight of the clothes has not changed within a set time period or the dryness ratio threshold obtained by the current weight of the clothes and the weight of the clothes in the initial state is greater than a fourth set threshold. In one example, when the main control module 13 obtains the weight of the clothes, it can determine the dryness ratio threshold based on the current weight of the clothes and the weight of the clothes in the initial state. The calculation of the dryness ratio threshold ΔW is shown in the following formula (1): ΔW=(W0-W1) / W0×100% In formula (1), W0 is the initial weight of the laundry, which can be the laundry weight detected in real time when laundry is detected hanging on the drying rod assembly 30; W1 is the current laundry weight, which can be the laundry weight detected in real time during the drying process. If the drying ratio threshold ΔW is greater than a fourth preset threshold, such as greater than 95%, it is determined that the laundry is currently in a drying state.

[0058] Optionally, the first operating parameter of the ultrasonic generator 41 may include frequency, power, etc. The second operating parameter of the vibration transducer 42 may include resonant frequency, impedance, amplitude, etc. The first operating parameter matches the second operating parameter. For example, the frequency of the ultrasonic generator 41 is used to determine the wavelength and energy distribution of the ultrasonic wave, which matches the resonant frequency of the vibration transducer 42.

[0059] In one example, in the initial state, the main control module 13 may instruct the vibration module to operate using a first parameter, and in the intermediate state, the main control module 13 may instruct the vibration module to operate using a second parameter. The first parameter generates a low-frequency vibration relative to the second parameter. That is, the vibration operation using the second parameter generates a high-frequency vibration relative to the vibration operation using the first parameter. The first parameter and the second parameter include the first operation parameter and the second operation parameter.

[0060] In the above embodiments, it can be understood that the set thresholds involved can be dynamically adjusted accordingly to adapt to the different materials, thicknesses and sizes of the clothes.

[0061] In a feasible embodiment, when the vibration module is arranged in the main unit 10 , the vibration module further includes a first conducting component 43 , a first end of which is fixedly connected to the vibration transducer 42 , and a second end of which is connected to the drying rod component 30 .

[0062] Optional, such as Figure 2 As shown, to more effectively transmit vibration to clothing, when the vibration module is disposed within the main unit 10, a first conductive component 43, such as a waveguide rod, is also disposed between the main unit 10 and the drying rod assembly 30. The first end of the waveguide rod is fixedly connected to the vibration transducer 42, and the second end is fixedly connected to the drying rod assembly 30. In one example, the same number of first conductive components 43 are disposed at the corresponding positions and number of vibration transducers 42 disposed on the main unit 10 to achieve mechanical vibration transmission.

[0063] Optionally, considering that the drying rod assembly 30 has a lifting function, in order to better match the lifting function of the drying rod assembly 30 and the vibration function of the vibration module, a multi-layer nested structure is provided for the realization of the first conductive component 43, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first conducting component 43 may include a trapezoidal rod body 431, and the rod body 431 may be longitudinally extended and retracted as the drying rod component 30 is raised or lowered.

[0064] In one example, if Figure 4 As shown on the left, the wider end of the rod body 431 is connected to the vibration transducer 42, and the narrower end of the rod body 431 is connected to the drying rod assembly 30, or as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown on the right side, the narrower end of the rod body 431 is connected to the vibration transducer 42, and the wider end of the rod body 431 is connected to the drying rod assembly 30. In actual application, as the drying rod assembly 30 rises and falls, the rod body 431 is driven to expand and contract longitudinally.

[0065] In a feasible embodiment, when the vibration module is arranged in the host 10, the vibration module may further include a second conductive component 44, the first end of which is fixedly connected to the vibration transducer 42 and can be horizontally stored at the bottom of the host 10 (such as Figure 3 As shown), or can be partially suspended longitudinally in the area where the drying rod assembly 30 is located (as shown Figure 2 As shown). For example, when the second conductive component 44 is not needed, the second conductive component 44 can be stored horizontally at the bottom of the host 10, that is, stored along the length direction of the host 10, so as to maintain the integrity of the smart clothes drying machine. When the second conductive component 44 is needed, one end of the second conductive component 44 can be released so that it is perpendicular to the host 10 after being lowered, as shown. Figure 2As shown, after the second conduction component 44 is lowered, its end (the end away from the main unit 10) is suspended in the area where the drying rod component 30 is located, so that the vibration energy can be conducted to the clothes through the nearby air.

[0066] Optionally, the second conducting component 44 may be a waveguide rod or other components for transmitting vibration.

[0067] Optionally, a groove 11 for receiving the second conductive component 44 is provided at the bottom of the host 10. Figure 2 As shown (the groove 11 can be opened along the length direction of the host 10), a vibration transducer 42 is arranged at an adjacent position at one end of the groove 11 ( Figure 3 The other end is provided with a matching structure 12 (removably connected to the second end of the second conductive component 44) Figure 3 The matching structure 12 may be a magnetic structure, a snap-fit structure, or the like.

[0068] In one example, in order to maintain the uniformity of vibration energy, the second conducting component 44 and the host 10 can be arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when two second conductive components 44 are arranged, the lowering direction and the lateral storage direction of each second conductive component 44 are opposite.

[0069] Optionally, the mating structure 12 includes an electric control structure that can be connected to or separated from the second end of the second conductive component 44 under the control of the main control module 13. Exemplarily, the mating structure 12 is an electrically energized magnetic structure, and the second end of the second conductive component 44 is provided with a component that mates with the magnetic structure. When the entire second conductive component 44 needs to be stored at the bottom of the host 10, the mating structure 12 can be energized to magnetically connect the mating structure 12 to the second end of the second conductive component 44; when the second conductive component 44 needs to be released, the mating structure 12 is controlled to be powered off, the magnetic attraction fails, and the second end of the second conductive component 44 is separated from the mating structure 12 and moved along the mating structure 12. Figure 2 The dashed trace shown moves downward.

[0070] Optionally, an electric control component is further configured at the connection between the first end of the second conduction component 44 and the vibration transducer 42 , which can be used to lower the second conduction component 44 or store the second conduction component 44 at the bottom of the host 10 under the control of the main control module 13 .

[0071] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by configuring an electronic control component at the connection between the first end of the second conduction component 44 and the vibration transducer 42, the second conduction component 44 can be automatically stored and released, thereby improving the intelligence level of the vibration module application; in addition, by providing an electronic control structure on the matching structure 12, the stability of the second transmission component 44 when stored at the bottom of the host 10 and the convenience of release can be improved.

[0072] In a feasible embodiment, when the vibration module is arranged in the host 10, a first permanent magnet 45 connected to the vibration transducer 42 is arranged at the bottom of the host 10, and a second permanent magnet 46 is arranged on the drying rod assembly 30. Figure 5 As shown, considering that when the vibration module is arranged in the main unit 10, the vibration energy that can be transferred to the clothes is relatively low, in order to achieve effective vibration transfer, a magnetic field coupling method is provided, by respectively arranging permanent magnets on the main unit 10 side and the drying rod assembly 30 side to achieve the transfer of vibration energy.

[0073] Among them, Figure 6 As shown, when the distance H between the drying rod assembly 30 and the host 10 is less than a preset distance, the vibration transducer 42 drives the first permanent magnet 45 to vibrate and transmits vibration energy to the second permanent magnet 46 through magnetic field coupling. Optionally, the trigger condition may include the distance between the drying rod assembly 30 and the host being less than a preset distance.

[0074] In the disclosed embodiment, considering that the drying rod assembly 30 has a lifting function, when the drying rod assembly 30 is lowered and the distance from the main unit 10 is relatively large (e.g., when H is greater than or equal to a preset distance), the vibration transducer 42 can be controlled to pause driving the first permanent magnet 45 to reduce energy consumption. When the distance between the drying rod assembly 30 and the main unit 10 is determined to be relatively small (e.g., when H is less than a preset distance), the vibration transducer 42 can be instructed to drive the first permanent magnet 45, thereby transmitting vibration energy to the second permanent magnet 46 through magnetic field coupling, thereby causing the clothing to vibrate.

[0075] In a possible embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, when the vibration module is arranged in the host 10, the ultrasonic generator 41 is arranged in the middle of the host 10 (as shown in FIG. Figure 5 The vibration transducers 42 are symmetrically arranged at at least two positions of the four corners of the host 10 (as shown in the octagonal dotted box). Figure 5 As shown in the position shown by the elliptical dotted box), several vibration transducers 42 are connected in parallel to the output end of the ultrasonic generator 41, so that at least two vibration transducers 42 are driven by one ultrasonic generator 41.

[0076] In one example, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5The arrangement of the vibration transducer 42 and the second conducting component 44 shown is corresponding.

[0077] Optional, Figure 5 Only one feasible arrangement structure is shown. Arranging the ultrasonic generator 41 and the vibration transducer 42 at other positions according to actual needs is also a feasible embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the ultrasonic generator 41 is arranged at at least one position of the four corners of the host 10, and the vibration transducer 42 is arranged at an adjacent position to the ultrasonic generator 41. It can be understood that they all fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0078] In a feasible embodiment, the drying rod assembly 30 includes two first drying rods 31 arranged in parallel, an end cap 32 connected to the end of the first drying rod 31, and a second drying rod 33 connected to the first drying rod 31 via a movable rod 34.

[0079] When the vibration module is arranged in the drying rod assembly 30, the ultrasonic generator 41 is arranged on the first drying rod 31, the end cover 32, the movable rod 34 or the second drying rod 33, and each vibration transducer 42 is connected in parallel to the output end of the ultrasonic generator 41 and is evenly arranged along the length direction of each rod.

[0080] For example, when the ultrasonic generator 41 is arranged in the middle of the first drying rod 31, the following arrangement can be adopted: vibration transducer 1 - vibration transducer 2 - ultrasonic generator 41 - vibration transducer 3 - vibration transducer 4. The distances between the vibration transducers 42 and the distances between the vibration transducer 42 and the ultrasonic generator 41 can be evenly distributed according to the length of the first drying rod 31.

[0081] For example, when the ultrasonic generator 41 is arranged in the end cap 32, the vibration transducers 42 are arranged in the first drying rod 31. The following arrangement structure can be adopted: ultrasonic generator 41 - vibration transducer 1 - vibration transducer 2 - vibration transducer 3 - vibration transducer 4. The distances between the vibration transducers 42 can be evenly distributed according to the length of the first drying rod 31.

[0082] In the above example, four vibration transducers 42 are arranged, which can adapt to dividing the vibration drying into four areas for control. For example, when only the clothes in the middle need to be dried, only the vibration transducers 2 and 3 are controlled to convert high-frequency electrical signals.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the above embodiment is only used to illustrate the layout position and layout relationship of the ultrasonic generator 41 and the vibration transducer 42. It can be understood that one or more vibration transducers 42 can be arranged, which can be adjusted according to actual conditions. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0084] In a feasible embodiment, in order to maintain uniformity of the output vibration energy, the impedance and resonant frequency of each vibration transducer 42 are set to be the same.

[0085] In one example, when the second drying rod 33 is lowered to the bottom of the first drying rod 31, Figure 7 As shown, the vibration module located in the second drying rod 33, the movable rod 34 and the first drying rod 31 forms a drying space (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 The clothes drying area shown in the figure, in which the clothes drying space is a relative three-dimensional space), is used to vibrate and dry the clothes hung on the first clothes drying rod 31. Exemplarily, the vibration modules arranged at different positions can be set to operate using different parameters. For example, the vibration module arranged on the first clothes drying rod 31 is set to perform high-frequency vibration, the vibration module arranged on the second clothes drying rod 33 is set to perform low-frequency vibration, and the vibration module arranged on the movable rod 34 is set to resonate, such as operating synchronously with high-frequency vibration or low-frequency vibration. Among them, high-frequency vibration and low-frequency vibration are relative, and the vibration frequency and amplitude range involved in resonance can cover the vibration frequency and amplitude range involved in high-frequency vibration and low-frequency vibration.

[0086] In a feasible embodiment, the smart clothes drying machine further includes a clothes drying module 15 built into the host 10, and the air outlet 14 of the clothes drying module 15 faces one side of the clothes drying rod assembly 30, and is used to generate hot air or cold air and blow it toward the clothes through the air outlet 14. Figure 7 shown.

[0087] In the disclosed embodiment, the layout of the drying module 15 and the vibration module do not conflict, and the two can operate in tandem. For example, when using the drying module 15 for drying clothes, to speed up the drying process and solve problems such as wrinkles caused by hot or cold air, the vibration module can be activated simultaneously to achieve a better drying effect.

[0088] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a control method for an intelligent clothes drying machine, which can be applied to the control system of the intelligent clothes drying machine provided in the above embodiment.

[0089] Specifically, if Figure 8 As shown, the method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes S101 to S102: S101 : In response to a clothes drying instruction, determine a first operating parameter of the ultrasonic generator 41 and a second operating parameter of the vibration transducer 42 based on a current clothes drying state.

[0090] S102. When the preset trigger conditions are met, based on the first operating parameter, the ultrasonic generator 41 is instructed to generate an ultrasonic signal, and based on the second operating parameter, the vibration transducer 42 is instructed to convert the ultrasonic signal into mechanical vibration to transmit the vibration to the clothes hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly 30.

[0091] Optionally, the drying instruction can be initiated by an external device (such as a smart device associated with the smart clothes dryer), or it can be automatically triggered by the smart clothes dryer itself based on a set program. For example, when the air humidity (which can be determined by obtaining real-time weather data) is greater than a set humidity threshold, the drying instruction is triggered to speed up the drying speed.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, on the one hand, when responding to a drying instruction, the first operating parameter of the ultrasonic generator 41 and the second operating parameter of the vibration transducer 42 can be dynamically determined according to the current drying state, so that the provided ultrasonic vibration drying function can better adapt to the drying needs and improve the flexibility of the vibration module operation; on the other hand, before instructing the vibration module to operate, it is first determined whether the preset trigger conditions are met, and when it is determined that the trigger conditions are met, the vibration module is instructed to operate based on the determined operating parameters, which can reduce energy consumption and avoid the vibration module from doing useless work.

[0093] In a feasible embodiment, the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure also includes step A1: based on the drying state, through the electronic control component, controlling the second conductive component 44 to be lowered and partially suspended in the area where the drying rod component 30 is located; the trigger condition includes that the second conductive component 44 is partially suspended in the area where the drying rod component 30 is located.

[0094] Optionally, when the drying state indicates that vibration operation is required, in order to improve the effectiveness of vibration transmission, the second conducting component 44 can be controlled by the electronic control component to be lowered and partially suspended in the clothes drying area, such as Figure 2 As shown, one end of a second conductive component 44 is connected to the bottom of the main unit 10 (and to the vibration transducer 42). The other end slides downward from the bottom of the main unit 10 along the dotted line and stops at a position perpendicular to the main unit 10. At this point, the second conductive component 44 is partially suspended in the clothes drying area. When the vibration module is activated, the mechanical vibrations generated by the vibration transducer 42 are transmitted to the clothes drying area through the second conductive component 44 and then conducted to the clothes through the air, dehydrating the clothes.

[0095] Optionally, when the clothes drying status indicates that vibration operation is not required, the second conductive component 44 can be controlled by the electronic control component to move in the reverse direction along the dotted line trajectory and finally be stored at the bottom of the main unit 10.

[0096] In a feasible embodiment, the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes step A2: Based on the clothes drying state, the electronic control structure is controlled to connect or disconnect with the second end of the second conductive component 44 .

[0097] Optionally, to enhance the storage stability of the second conductive component 44, a mating structure 12 is provided in the recess 11 defined in the bottom of the main unit 10. This mating structure 12 securely connects to the second end of the second conductive component 44. Furthermore, to further enhance the intelligent application of the second conductive component 44, the mating structure 12 includes an electronic control structure. When the drying status indicates that vibration is required, the electronic control structure can be controlled to separate from the second end of the second conductive component 44; otherwise, the electronic control structure can be controlled to connect to the second end of the second conductive component 44.

[0098] In a feasible embodiment, in step S102, when the preset trigger conditions are met, based on the first operating parameter, the ultrasonic generator 41 is instructed to generate an ultrasonic signal, and based on the second operating parameter, the vibration transducer 42 is instructed to convert the ultrasonic signal into mechanical vibration. It also includes S102a: when the distance between the drying rod assembly 30 and the main unit 10 is less than the preset distance, the vibration transducer 42 is instructed to drive the first permanent magnet 45 to vibrate, so as to transfer vibration energy to the second permanent magnet 46 through magnetic field coupling.

[0099] Optionally, the trigger condition also includes that the distance between the drying rod assembly 30 and the host 10 is less than a preset distance. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, considering that driving the permanent magnet to transmit vibration requires a certain amount of energy, in order to reduce energy consumption and improve the effectiveness of vibration transmission, it is set that only when the distance between the drying rod assembly 30 and the host 10 is less than a preset distance, the vibration transducer 42 is instructed to drive the first permanent magnet 45 to vibrate and transmit vibration energy to the second permanent magnet 46 through magnetic field coupling.

[0100] Optionally, the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes step B1: when the distance between the drying rod assembly 30 and the host 10 is not less than a preset distance, controlling the drying rod assembly 30 to rise.

[0101] For example, when a drying instruction is received and the drying status indicates that vibration drying is required, if the preset trigger condition is not met (the distance between the drying rod assembly 30 and the host 10 is not less than the preset distance), the drying rod assembly 30 can be controlled to rise until the distance between the drying rod assembly 30 and the host 10 is less than the preset distance.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to avoid erroneous triggering of the drying instruction due to errors in the detected information, when the drying instruction is received, the need for vibration drying can be further determined based on the drying status, thereby improving the effectiveness of vibration drying.

[0103] In a feasible embodiment, S101 determines the first operating parameters of the ultrasonic generator 41 and the second operating parameters of the vibration transducer 42 based on the current drying state, including S101a: based on the current drying state, determining the first operating parameters of each ultrasonic generator 41 and the second operating parameters of each vibration transducer 42 located on different parts of the drying rod assembly 30.

[0104] Optionally, as shown in the above embodiment, the vibration module can be arranged on the first drying rod 31, the movable rod 34, the end cover 32 and / or the second drying rod 33; on this basis, considering that the vibration modules arranged at different positions are at different distances from the clothes and the vibration energy transmitted to the clothes is different, the first operating parameters of each ultrasonic generator 41 located on different components and the second operating parameters of each vibration transducer 42 can be dynamically determined in combination with the drying status.

[0105] When the clothes drying state indicates that the vibration module on the second drying rod 33 needs to be activated, the triggering condition includes the second drying rod 33 being lowered to the bottom of the first drying rod 31 .

[0106] For example, since the second drying rod 33 is stacked with the first drying rod 31 when it is not lowered, in this case, if the vibration modules arranged in the first drying rod 31 and the second drying rod 33 perform vibration operations at the same time, there may be energy cancellation, and the generated vibration energy is difficult to achieve the effect of "1+1 is greater than 2". Therefore, when the drying state or the drying instruction indicates that the vibration module located on the second drying rod 33 needs to be activated, the premise for controlling the activation of the vibration module is to meet the triggering condition of the second drying rod 33 being lowered to the first drying rod 31, such as Figure 7 As shown, the vibration operation of the vibration module arranged on the second drying rod 33 is applied to Figure 7 The scenario shown, under this setting, can improve the effectiveness of vibration drying and reduce energy consumption.

[0107] In a feasible embodiment, the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes step C1: in response to a drying instruction, based on the current drying state, controlling the drying module 15 to perform a drying operation to generate hot air or cold air and blow it toward the clothes through the vents.

[0108] The clothes drying module 15 is arranged on the main unit 10, and the air outlet 14 faces one side of the drying rod assembly 30, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 shown.

[0109] Optionally, the drying instruction can also be used to instruct the drying module 15 to start the drying operation, and the operating parameters adopted by the drying module 15 can also be determined in combination with the current drying state, such as the temperature of the hot air generated by the drying module 15, the duration of blowing the hot air, etc.

[0110] In the disclosed embodiment, the clothes drying module 15 and the vibration module can work together to further improve the clothes drying efficiency and speed up the clothes drying speed.

[0111] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control device for an intelligent clothes drying machine, such as Figure 9 As shown, the control device 900 of the smart clothes drying machine can be applied to the control system of the smart clothes drying machine provided in the above embodiment, and the device includes: a determination module 901 for determining, in response to a clothes drying instruction and based on a current clothes drying state, a first operating parameter of the ultrasonic generator and a second operating parameter of the vibration transducer 42; The indication module 902 is used to instruct the ultrasonic generator to generate an ultrasonic signal based on the first operating parameter when a preset trigger condition is met, and to instruct the vibration transducer 42 to convert the ultrasonic signal into mechanical vibration based on the second operating parameter to transmit the vibration to the clothes hanging on the clothes drying rod assembly 30.

Furthermore, the first and second operating parameters can be determined by the main control module based on the drying state of the clothes, and transmitted to the vibration module upon determining that a preset trigger condition is met, thereby controlling the operation of the corresponding components. The implementation of the present disclosure provides an ultrasonic vibration drying function, which can achieve vibration drying by generating ultrasonic signals and converting them into mechanical vibrations, which is beneficial to improving the drying efficiency.
