[0022] Additionally, the term "plurality" shall mean two or more.

[0023] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1-6As shown, an automatic clothes drying system in a drying room includes a controller, a frame, a conveyor line 1 that is movably arranged on the frame and closed, a clothing inlet and a clothing outlet arranged on the frame, a hanger detection device 2, a clothing removal device 3 corresponding to the clothing outlet, and a plurality of hanging rods for hanging hangers 19 are provided on the conveyor line 1. The conveyor line 1 is driven to move by a conveyor line driving device 8; grid columns 23 are fixedly provided at both ends of the hanging rods, one of which is fixedly provided with a zero point detection piece 22, and the hanger detection device 2 includes a mounting fixedly connected to the frame. Plate 13, a guide fixing strip 18 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 13 and having a guide slope, a hanging plate 14 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 13, a paddle 17 rotatably arranged relative to the hanging plate 14, a hanger detection sensor 15 for detecting the hanger 19, a grid positioning sensor 21 for detecting the zero point detection piece 22, a controller electrically connected to the hanger detection sensor 15, the grid locator, the hanger 19 removal device and the conveyor line drive device 8, and in addition, the bottom of the mounting plate 13 has a support plate 20 for supporting the guide fixing strip 18.

[0025] The paddle 17 is mounted on the paddle mounting plate 16 , and the paddle mounting plate 16 is rotatably connected to the hanging plate 14 . The resetting elastic member is disposed between the paddle mounting plate 16 and the hanging plate 14 , and the paddle 17 is elastic and can automatically reset.

[0026] The working process is as follows: When using the system, the operator first sets the drying time for the batch on the control panel. Since the entire load of clothes includes clothes with different drying times, when the clothes enter the system, they are first divided into different batches according to the drying time. When hanging clothes, they are hung into the drying system in batches, and the drying time for each batch is set, so that the system can easily take out all the clothes in the batch after the set drying time is reached.

[0027] It should also be noted that the clothes entering the system do not need to be coded or chipped, so there is no need to identify them by scanning the code. If the code scanning method is adopted, it is necessary to stick a code or set a chip on the hanger 19. In a high-temperature drying environment, the service life of both the code and the chip is short. Therefore, how to detect the hanger 19 through the hanger detection device 2 to complete the automatic removal action has become a design difficulty in this system.

[0028] The principle adopted in this solution is as follows: when the zero-point detection piece 22 passes through the positioning sensor 21, the system defines this grid as grid No. 0. Each time the grid column 23 passes through, the grid number will increase by 1, and so on, and a grid number is defined for each grid. When the hanger 19 is guided by the guide fixing bar 18, the paddle 17 will be lifted up, and the hanger detection sensor 15 will transmit a signal to the system. At the same time, the system will read the current grid number, and the hanger 19 and the grid number will be bound together. When the system is taken out, the hanger 19 on the corresponding grid number can be directly taken out, which is equivalent to setting the specific drying time for the hanger 19 on the corresponding grid number when setting the drying time for the batch of clothes. When the set drying time is reached, the clothes removal device 3 can directly take out the hanger 19 on the corresponding grid number, thereby realizing fully automated processing, which not only saves labor but also avoids the problem of taking the wrong clothes.

[0029] The details are as follows: After the setting is completed, the drive motor 24 drives the conveyor line 1 to run. The operator is at point A and can hang clothes on the conveyor line 1 outside the door. The clothes pass through the hanger detection device 2 along the conveyor line 1. The hanger detection device 2 can record the grid position of the clothes on the conveyor line 1. More specifically, the conveyor line 1 is a closed-loop conveyor line 1. Continuous grids are arranged at intervals of 108mm along the length direction of the conveyor line 1. A detection piece is installed on grid No. 0 on the conveyor line 1. Grids 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction. Clothes can be hung on any grid. When clothes are hung on grid No. 5, the hanger 19 detection will mark that grid No. 5 has clothes corresponding to the batch. When the drying time is reached, the system will take out the clothes on grid No. 5 accordingly. Similarly, clothes in other grids are also taken out in this way, so that when taking out, the corresponding batch of clothes can be taken out. This recording method greatly facilitates the operator. When the set drying time for clothes is reached, the unloading device is responsible for removing the clothes from the conveyor line 1. When the system performs the unloading operation, the automatic door 7 automatically opens. After the automatic door detection device 6 detects that the automatic door 7 is open, the lifting device lowers the rotating rod 9 and connects it to the clothes sliding rod 4 outside. At this time, the clothes can be automatically moved to the outside of the drying room without human operation. After all the clothes in this batch are taken out, the lifting device raises the rotating rod 9 and the automatic door 7 closes. At this time, the unloading of one batch of clothes is completed, and the above operation cycle repeats after waiting for the next batch of clothes to reach the drying time.

[0030] In order to facilitate the complete removal of clothes from the clothing outlet, a clothing sliding rod 4 is also provided at the clothing outlet, and a lifting rod device 5 is provided between the clothing taking-out device 3 and the clothing sliding rod 4. The lifting rod device 5 includes a lower sliding rod 12 fixedly connected to the clothing sliding rod 4, a rotating rod 9 connected to the clothing taking-out device 3 through a rotating shaft 10, and a power component that drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate. The power component is a telescopic cylinder 11.

[0031] In order to ensure the drying efficiency of the entire drying system, an automatic door 7 is provided at the clothes outlet. Therefore, the automatic door 7 is automatically opened only when the clothes are taken out and is automatically closed during the drying period.

[0032] In order to maximize the working efficiency of the drying system in a limited space, at least part of the conveyor line 1 is a bending portion. By providing multiple bending portions, the length of the entire conveyor line 1 is extended, thereby allowing more clothes to be hung.

[0033] The clothing removal device 3 includes a connecting plate 34 fixedly arranged on the frame, a swing frame 31 rotatably arranged on the connecting plate 34, a guide head 32 fixedly arranged on the swing frame 31, a removal head 30 matched with the guide head 32, and a driving cylinder 33 for driving the swing frame 31 to rotate.

[0034] The working principle of the clothing taking-out device 3 is as follows: when the clothes need to be taken out, the driving cylinder 33 is actuated to drive the swing frame 31 to swing. At this time, the guide head 32 picks up the hanger 19 with the clothes hanging on it, and after rotating, it docks with the taking-out head 30. Since the taking-out head 30 is set at an angle, the picked-up hanger 19 slides along the taking-out head 30 and slides to the lifting rod device 5. Then the lifting rod device 5 moves the hanger 19 to the clothing sliding rod 4 for taking out.

[0035] Specifically, the conveyor line drive device 8 includes a connecting frame 25 fixedly connected to the frame, a motor 24 arranged on the frame, a transmission shaft 29 connected to the output shaft of the motor 24, a driving wheel 28 fixedly arranged on the transmission shaft 29, and a driven wheel 27 rotatably arranged on the connecting frame 25. There is a channel between the driving wheel 28 and the driven wheel 27 for the wire body to pass through, and a compression spring 26 is also arranged between the driven wheel 27 and the connecting frame 25.

[0036] First, the conveyor line 1 includes a plurality of mutually hinged line bodies, and the conveyor line driving device 8 is used to drive the line body to move, that is, the grid introduced above, which includes grid columns 23 on both sides and hanging rods connected between the grid columns 23, adopting a node structure, specifically as follows Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown in , when driving, the friction between the driving wheel 28 and the driven wheel 27 drives the line body to move, thereby driving the entire conveyor line 1 to move.

[0037] The control method of the automatic clothes drying system includes: S1. Divide clothes into different batches according to drying time, hang clothes from the same batch on the hanging rod continuously and set the drying time; S2, the positioning sensor 21 detects the starting and ending positions of the hanging rods for hanging the same batch of clothes and transmits the detection signal to the controller; S3. After the batch of clothes reaches the set drying time, the controller controls the clothes taking out device 3 to take out the clothes at the starting hanging rod position and the ending hanging rod position from the clothes outlet.

[0038] In order to improve the working efficiency of the drying system, at least one piece of clothing from the same batch is hung on each hanging rod.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
