Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of control technology for clothes drying, specifically to a method, apparatus, storage medium, and computer equipment for controlling clothes drying. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of IoT technology and the increasing popularity of smart homes, users' demand for intelligent clothes drying racks is growing, and the frequency of use of the drying function is gradually increasing. Traditional clothes drying racks usually require manual operation by users and cannot automatically adjust the drying function according to the humidity of the clothes, making them inconvenient to use. At the same time, the current drying function has a fixed working time and cannot adjust the working time according to the ambient humidity, which easily leads to the waste of resources for drying clothes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the prior art and provide a method, device, storage medium and computer equipment for controlling clothes drying, which can improve the efficiency of clothes drying, reduce the energy consumption of clothes drying machine, and improve the compatibility of clothes drying efficiency and energy saving effect.

[0004] The first aspect of this application provides a method for controlling the drying of clothes, including:

[0005] Obtain the current air humidity of the environment where the clothes are being dried on the target clothes drying rack;

[0006] Based on the preset correspondence between air humidity and drying time, obtain the current drying time and current air drying time corresponding to the current air humidity;

[0007] The heating module and the blowing module of the target clothes drying machine are operated according to the drying time of the current cycle;

[0008] At the end of the current drying time, the blowing module is operated according to the current air drying time and the preset energy-saving blowing parameters;

[0009] When the current air drying time ends, update the current air humidity, as well as the corresponding current drying time and current air drying time, and then run the heating module and the blowing module until the current air humidity is less than a preset air humidity threshold.

[0010] Compared to related technologies, this application obtains the current drying time and current air drying time corresponding to the current air humidity based on a preset correspondence between air humidity and drying / air drying time. Then, it operates the heating module and blowing module of the target clothes dryer according to the current drying time. At the end of the current drying time, it operates the blowing module according to the current air drying time and preset energy-saving blowing parameters. At the end of the current air drying time, it updates the current air humidity and the corresponding current drying time and current air drying time, thereby operating the heating module and blowing module. The module automatically alternates between drying and air drying the clothes when the current air humidity is greater than or equal to the preset air humidity threshold. This prevents the clothes from drying inefficiently due to excessively high air humidity. While improving drying efficiency, it also reduces the working time of the heating module. Furthermore, since the blowing module operates according to preset energy-saving blowing parameters, it can reduce the energy consumption of the clothes dryer. This combination improves the efficiency of clothes drying and reduces the energy consumption of the clothes dryer, thus enhancing the compatibility of clothes drying efficiency and energy saving.

[0011] As one implementation method, the step of obtaining the current drying time and current air drying time corresponding to the current air humidity based on a preset correspondence between air humidity and drying time includes:

[0012] If the current air humidity is greater than or equal to the first humidity threshold but less than the second humidity threshold, the drying time and the air drying time for this time are obtained according to the first preset drying time and the first preset air drying time.

[0013] If the current air humidity is greater than or equal to the second humidity threshold, but less than the third humidity threshold, the drying time and the air drying time are obtained according to the second preset drying time and the second preset air drying time; wherein, the second preset drying time is greater than the first preset drying time, and the second preset air drying time is less than or equal to the first preset air drying time.

[0014] If the current air humidity is greater than or equal to the third humidity threshold, but less than the fourth humidity threshold, the drying time and the air drying time for the current time are obtained according to the third preset drying time and the third preset air drying time of the drying function; wherein, the third preset drying time is greater than the second preset drying time, and the third preset air drying time is less than or equal to the second preset air drying time.

[0015] If the current air humidity is greater than or equal to the fourth humidity threshold, the current drying time and the current air drying time are obtained according to the fourth preset drying time and the fourth preset air drying time of the drying function; wherein, the fourth preset drying time is greater than the third preset drying time, and the fourth preset air drying time is less than or equal to the third preset air drying time.

[0016] In this embodiment, the drying time and air-drying time corresponding to the current air humidity are obtained based on the first humidity threshold, the second humidity threshold, the third humidity threshold and the fourth humidity threshold. This enables the acquisition of different drying times and air-drying times based on humidity levels, which can further improve the efficiency of clothes drying and the compatibility of energy consumption.

[0017] As one implementation, the step of operating the heating module and the blowing module of the target clothes drying machine according to the current drying time includes:

[0018] Based on the preset correspondence between air humidity and module parameters, obtain the current heating parameters and current wind force parameters corresponding to the current air humidity;

[0019] During the current drying time, the heating module operates according to the current heating parameters, and the blowing module operates according to the current airflow parameters.

[0020] In this embodiment, the current heating parameters and current wind speed parameters are obtained based on the current air humidity value, so as to operate the heating module and the blowing module respectively, to prevent the heating module from overheating and the blowing module from having excessive wind speed, which can further improve the efficiency of clothes drying and the compatibility of energy consumption.

[0021] As one implementation, the step of operating the blowing module according to the current drying time and preset energy-saving blowing parameters at the end of the current drying time includes:

[0022] During the current drying period, the blower module operates according to preset wind force parameters; the preset wind force parameters are the minimum power consumption operating parameters of the blower module.

[0023] In this embodiment, operating the blower module according to the lowest power consumption operating parameters can reduce energy consumption during the drying time and keep the blower module in a dynamic state, reducing the resistance that needs to be overcome when changing the operating state when operating the blower module for the same drying time in the next cycle, thereby improving the effective utilization rate of energy.

[0024] As one implementation, the step of operating the blowing module according to the current drying time and preset energy-saving blowing parameters at the end of the current drying time includes:

[0025] Obtain the predicted air humidity value at the end of the current drying period;

[0026] Based on the preset correspondence between air humidity and module parameters, the predicted wind force parameters corresponding to the predicted air humidity value are obtained.

[0027] Based on the current drying time, the predicted wind force parameters, and the pre-constructed wind force parameter power consumption inversion model, preset energy-saving blowing parameters are obtained; the preset energy-saving blowing parameters are the variable wind force parameters corresponding to the lowest total power consumption of the drying module; the wind force parameter power consumption inversion model is used to invert the relationship between the total power consumption and the variable wind force parameters based on the current drying time and the predicted wind force parameters; the total power consumption includes the first power consumption of the blowing module operating according to the variable wind force parameters within the current drying time, and the second power consumption of the blowing module during the process of upgrading from the variable wind force parameters to the predicted wind force parameters;

[0028] During the current drying period, the blower module operates according to the preset energy-saving blower parameters.

[0029] In this embodiment, the minimum total power consumption of the air-drying module is corresponding to the preset energy-saving blowing parameters based on the wind power parameter power consumption inversion model. During the current air-drying period, the air-drying module is operated according to the preset energy-saving blowing parameters, which can effectively reduce the total energy consumption of the air-drying module.

[0030] As one implementation, the step of obtaining the predicted air humidity value at the end of the current drying period includes:

[0031] Obtain the air humidity change data of the environment where the clothes are dried during the current drying time;

[0032] The air humidity change data, the current drying time, and the current air drying time are input into the trained air humidity prediction model to obtain the predicted air humidity value at the end of the current air drying time.

[0033] In this embodiment, based on the air humidity change data during the drying period and the air humidity prediction model, the predicted air humidity value at the end of the drying period can be accurately predicted.

[0034] As one implementation method, the step of obtaining the current air humidity of the environment where the clothes drying on the target clothes drying rack are located includes:

[0035] Obtain the first and second air humidity of the environment where the clothes are being dried;

[0036] If the average humidity of the first air humidity and the second air humidity is less than a preset humidity threshold, the first air humidity is taken as the current air humidity; if the average humidity is greater than or equal to the preset humidity threshold, the second air humidity is taken as the current air humidity.

[0037] In this embodiment, by using a capacitive humidity sensor and a resistive humidity sensor, the current air humidity under different air humidity environments can be detected more accurately.

[0038] A second aspect of this application provides a clothing drying control device, comprising:

[0039] The current air humidity acquisition module is used to acquire the current air humidity of the environment where the clothes drying on the target clothes drying rack are located;

[0040] The duration acquisition module is used to acquire the current drying duration and the current air drying duration corresponding to the current air humidity based on the preset correspondence between air humidity and drying time.

[0041] The drying operation module is used to operate the heating module and the blowing module of the target clothes drying machine according to the current drying time;

[0042] The air-drying operation module is used to run the blowing module according to the current air-drying duration and preset energy-saving blowing parameters when the current drying time ends.

[0043] The current air humidity update module updates the current air humidity, as well as the corresponding current drying time and current air drying time, at the end of the current drying time, thereby running the heating module and the blowing module until the current air humidity is less than the preset air humidity threshold.

[0044] Compared to related technologies, this application obtains the current drying time and current air drying time corresponding to the current air humidity based on a preset correspondence between air humidity and drying / air drying time. Then, it operates the heating module and blowing module of the target clothes dryer according to the current drying time. At the end of the current drying time, it operates the blowing module according to the current air drying time and preset energy-saving blowing parameters. At the end of the current air drying time, it updates the current air humidity and the corresponding current drying time and current air drying time, thereby operating the heating module and blowing module. The module automatically alternates between drying and air drying the clothes when the current air humidity is greater than or equal to the preset air humidity threshold. This prevents the clothes from drying inefficiently due to excessively high air humidity. While improving drying efficiency, it also reduces the working time of the heating module. Furthermore, since the blowing module operates according to preset energy-saving blowing parameters, it can reduce the energy consumption of the clothes dryer. This combination improves the efficiency of clothes drying and reduces the energy consumption of the clothes dryer, thus enhancing the compatibility of clothes drying efficiency and energy saving.

The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the clothing drying control method according to the first embodiment of this application, the method including:

[0057] S1: Obtain the current air humidity of the environment where the clothes drying on the target clothes drying rack are located.

[0058] The current air humidity of the environment where the clothes drying rack is located can be obtained from the detection results of the humidity sensor or from the meteorological data of the location of the target clothes drying rack. For example, when the target clothes drying rack is connected to the network, it can obtain the meteorological data of its location through the network to obtain the current air humidity.

[0059] S2: Based on the preset correspondence between air humidity and drying time, obtain the current drying time and current air drying time corresponding to the current air humidity.

[0060] The relationship between air humidity and drying time is preset by the manufacturer. That is, different ranges of air humidity correspond to a set of drying time and air drying time data.

[0061] S3: Operate the heating module and blowing module of the target clothes drying machine according to the current drying time.

[0062] The drying function of the target clothes drying machine is a hot air drying function, which is a drying method that achieves drying by blowing out hot air. Therefore, during the drying time, the heating module of the target clothes drying machine needs to be run to heat the air, and the blowing module of the target clothes drying machine also needs to be run to blow out the heated air to form hot air blowing towards the clothes to dry, so as to achieve the drying process of the clothes through hot air.

[0063] S4: When the drying time ends, the blowing module is run according to the drying time and preset energy-saving blowing parameters.

[0064] The drying function of the target clothes dryer uses a technology that changes the airflow speed through a blower module to accelerate the loss of moisture from the surface of the clothes. Since the drying function only requires the blower module to operate, it provides cooling time for the heating module during the drying cycle, preventing overload damage caused by prolonged operation.

[0065] S5: When the current air drying time ends, update the current air humidity, as well as the corresponding current drying time and current air drying time, and then run the heating module and the blowing module until the current air humidity is less than the preset air humidity threshold.

[0066] Users can also send control commands or cut off the power to stop the target clothes drying rack from updating the current air humidity and stop the operation of the heating and blowing modules.

[0067] Compared to related technologies, this application obtains the current drying time and current air drying time corresponding to the current air humidity based on a preset correspondence between air humidity and drying / air drying time. Then, it operates the heating module and blowing module of the target clothes dryer according to the current drying time. At the end of the current drying time, it operates the blowing module according to the current air drying time and preset energy-saving blowing parameters. At the end of the current air drying time, it updates the current air humidity and the corresponding current drying time and current air drying time, thereby operating the heating module and blowing module. The module automatically alternates between drying and air drying the clothes when the current air humidity is greater than or equal to the preset air humidity threshold. This prevents the clothes from drying inefficiently due to excessively high air humidity. While improving drying efficiency, it also reduces the working time of the heating module. Furthermore, since the blowing module operates according to preset energy-saving blowing parameters, it can reduce the energy consumption of the clothes dryer. This combination improves the efficiency of clothes drying and reduces the energy consumption of the clothes dryer, thus enhancing the compatibility of clothes drying efficiency and energy saving.

[0068] Please see Figure 2 In one feasible embodiment, step S2: obtaining the current drying time and current air drying time corresponding to the current air humidity according to a preset correspondence between air humidity and drying time, includes:

[0069] S21: If the current air humidity is greater than or equal to the first humidity threshold but less than the second humidity threshold, the drying time and the air drying time for the current time are obtained according to the first preset drying time and the first preset air drying time.

[0070] S22: If the current air humidity is greater than or equal to the second humidity threshold, but the current air humidity is less than the third humidity threshold, the drying time and the air drying time are obtained according to the second preset drying time and the second preset air drying time; wherein, the second preset drying time is greater than the first preset drying time, and the second preset air drying time is less than or equal to the first preset air drying time.

[0071] S23: If the current air humidity is greater than or equal to the third humidity threshold, but less than the fourth humidity threshold, the drying time and the air drying time for the current time are obtained according to the third preset drying time and the third preset air drying time of the drying function; wherein, the third preset drying time is greater than the second preset drying time, and the third preset air drying time is less than or equal to the second preset air drying time.

[0072] S24: If the current air humidity is greater than or equal to the fourth humidity threshold, the current drying time and the current air drying time are obtained according to the fourth preset drying time and the fourth preset air drying time of the drying function; wherein, the fourth preset drying time is greater than the third preset drying time, and the fourth preset air drying time is less than or equal to the third preset air drying time.

[0073] The first, second, third, and fourth humidity thresholds can all be set by the manufacturer. For example, the first humidity threshold can be set to 60%, the second humidity threshold to 65%, the third humidity threshold to 75%, and the fourth humidity threshold to 85%.

[0074] The first preset drying time, the first preset air drying time, the second preset drying time, the second preset air drying time, the third preset drying time, the third preset air drying time, the fourth preset drying time, and the fourth preset air drying time can all be set by the manufacturer, for example:

[0075] The first preset drying time is set to 10 minutes and the first preset air drying time is set to 40 minutes. This is because the current air humidity is low at this time, and the dryness of the clothes is not easily affected by the current air humidity. Therefore, the preset drying time is shorter and the preset air drying time is longer to save the resources consumed by the heating module and the blowing module.

[0076] The second preset drying time is set to 15 minutes and the second preset air drying time is set to 30 minutes. This is because the current air humidity is relatively high at this time, so it is necessary to extend the drying time and shorten the air drying time to improve the drying efficiency of clothes while appropriately increasing the resources consumed by the heating module and the blowing module.

[0077] The third preset drying time is set to 30 minutes and the third preset air drying time is set to 20 minutes. This is because the current air humidity is very high, and the clothes being dried are greatly affected by the moisture in the air. Therefore, it is necessary to further extend the drying time and shorten the air drying time to improve the drying efficiency of clothes while increasing energy consumption.

[0078] The fourth preset drying time is set to 40 minutes and the fourth preset air drying time is set to 20 minutes. This is because the current air humidity is extremely high at this time, and clothes are easy to absorb moisture from the air when drying, resulting in the clothes being in a damp state for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to further extend the drying time to allow sufficient drying time to dry and evaporate the clothes and the air in the surrounding environment, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the clothes.

[0079] In this embodiment, the drying time and air-drying time corresponding to the current air humidity are obtained based on the first humidity threshold, the second humidity threshold, the third humidity threshold and the fourth humidity threshold. This enables the acquisition of different drying times and air-drying times based on humidity levels, which can further improve the efficiency of clothes drying and the compatibility of energy consumption.

[0080] In a feasible embodiment, step S3: operating the heating module and blowing module of the target clothes dryer according to the current drying time includes:

[0081] S31: Based on the preset correspondence between air humidity and module parameters, obtain the current heating parameters and current wind force parameters corresponding to the current air humidity.

[0082] The relationship between air humidity and module parameters can be preset by the manufacturer.

[0083] S32: During the current drying time, the heating module is operated according to the current heating parameters, and the blowing module is operated according to the current air force parameters.

[0084] In this embodiment, the current heating parameters and current wind speed parameters are obtained based on the current air humidity value, so as to operate the heating module and the blowing module respectively, to prevent the heating module from overheating and the blowing module from having excessive wind speed, which can further improve the efficiency of clothes drying and the compatibility of energy consumption.

[0085] In a feasible embodiment, step S4: the step of operating the blowing module according to the current drying time and preset energy-saving blowing parameters at the end of the current drying time includes:

[0086] S41: During the current drying time, the blower module is operated according to preset wind force parameters; the preset wind force parameters are the minimum power consumption operating parameters of the blower module.

[0087] The minimum power consumption operating parameters of the blower module are determined by the hardware and software configuration of the blower module.

[0088] In this embodiment, operating the blower module according to the lowest power consumption operating parameters can reduce energy consumption during the drying time and keep the blower module in a dynamic state, reducing the resistance that needs to be overcome when changing the operating state when operating the blower module for the same drying time in the next cycle, thereby improving the effective utilization rate of energy.

[0089] In a feasible embodiment, step S4: the step of operating the blowing module according to the current drying time and preset energy-saving blowing parameters at the end of the current drying time includes:

[0090] S421: Obtain the predicted air humidity value at the end of the current drying period.

[0091] Among them, the air humidity forecast value can be obtained by predicting changes in air humidity.

[0092] S422: Based on the preset correspondence between air humidity and module parameters, obtain the predicted wind force parameters corresponding to the predicted air humidity value.

[0093] Among them, the predicted wind force parameter refers to the wind force parameter during the operation of the heating module and the blowing module of the target clothes drying machine after obtaining the next drying time based on the predicted air humidity value.

[0094] S423: Based on the current drying time, the predicted wind force parameters, and the pre-constructed wind force parameter power consumption inversion model, a preset energy-saving blowing parameter is obtained; the preset energy-saving blowing parameter is the variable wind force parameter corresponding to the lowest total power consumption of the drying module; the wind force parameter power consumption inversion model is used to invert the relationship between the total power consumption and the variable wind force parameters based on the current drying time and the predicted wind force parameters; the total power consumption includes the first power consumption of the blowing module operating according to the variable wind force parameters within the current drying time, and the second power consumption of the blowing module during the process of upgrading from the variable wind force parameters to the predicted wind force parameters.

[0095] The wind power parameter power consumption inversion model can be a power consumption inversion model built based on a mathematical model, or a power consumption prediction model obtained by training a deep learning network model. Specifically, the wind power parameter power consumption inversion model can be constructed or trained based on sample data such as multiple sets of current dry season duration samples, predicted wind parameter samples, and variable wind parameter samples corresponding to the minimum total power consumption.

[0096] S424: During the current drying time, the blowing module is operated according to the preset energy-saving blowing parameters.

[0097] In this embodiment, based on the predicted air humidity value at the end of the current drying period, the preset energy-saving blowing parameters corresponding to the minimum total power consumption of the drying module are obtained through the wind power parameter power consumption inversion model. The blowing module is then operated according to the preset energy-saving blowing parameters during the current drying period, which can effectively reduce the total energy consumption of the drying module.

[0098] In a feasible embodiment, step S421: obtaining the predicted air humidity value at the end of the current drying period, includes:

[0099] S4211: Obtain the air humidity change data of the environment where the clothes are dried during the current drying time.

[0100] S4212: Input the air humidity change data, the current drying time and the current air drying time into the trained air humidity prediction model to obtain the predicted air humidity value at the end of the current air drying time.

[0101] The air humidity prediction model can be obtained by training a deep learning network model using air humidity change data samples, current drying time samples, current air drying time samples, and air humidity prediction value samples.

[0102] In this embodiment, based on the air humidity change data during the drying period and the air humidity prediction model, the predicted air humidity value at the end of the drying period can be accurately predicted.

[0103] In a feasible embodiment, step S1: obtaining the current air humidity of the environment where the clothes drying on the target clothes drying rack are located, and obtaining the current air humidity, includes:

[0104] S11: Obtain the first air humidity and the second air humidity of the environment where the clothes are being dried.

[0105] The first and second air humidity can be obtained using different humidity sensors, such as capacitive and resistive humidity sensors. Furthermore, to reduce errors in humidity detection, the average of multiple measurements from the capacitive and resistive humidity sensors can be used as the first and second air humidity values. For example, the average of 10, 20, or 30 measurements could be taken.

[0106] S12: If the average humidity of the first air humidity and the second air humidity is less than a preset humidity threshold, the first air humidity is taken as the current air humidity; if the average humidity is greater than or equal to the preset humidity threshold, the second air humidity is taken as the current air humidity.

[0107] In low humidity environments (such as 0%–20% RH), capacitive sensors can respond quickly and accurately detect humidity changes. In high humidity environments (such as 70%–100% RH), resistive sensors detect changes in resistance by adsorbing moisture through moisture-sensitive materials, resulting in more stable detection.

[0108] Optionally, in this embodiment, the capacitive humidity sensor and the resistive humidity sensor are installed in the middle of the clothes drying rack. This is because the air flow in the middle of the clothes drying rack is relatively slower, and the air humidity value is generally higher than that in other parts of the drying rack. Therefore, it is more reasonable to detect the air humidity in the middle of the drying rack.

[0109] The target clothes drying rack in this embodiment is equipped with a Combo module and a main control board, and the Combo module is connected to the main control board. Both the capacitive humidity sensor and the resistive humidity sensor in this embodiment can wirelessly transmit the detected humidity data to the Combo module of the target clothes drying rack, so that the humidity data can be transmitted to the main control board via the Combo module.

[0110] The Combo module combines Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, providing dual wireless communication capabilities. As the core data processing unit and data bridge of the system, the Combo module primarily receives and processes data from the humidity sensor module. It also connects to the app, feeding back the target clothes dryer's operating status. Users can easily obtain the day's air humidity information through the app, allowing them to flexibly control the drying process based on their needs. Furthermore, users can view the current drying progress and the duration of drying. Additionally, users can manually control the dryer's operating mode through the app, actively turning the automatic drying function on or off.

[0111] The main control board is the power source of the entire system, providing a stable and continuous power supply to all modules. In this embodiment, the main control board employs efficient power management technology, converting the input AC power into DC voltage suitable for the operation of each module. It also features overvoltage and overcurrent protection, effectively preventing damage to the system due to power fluctuations or abnormal conditions. The main control board also receives and processes commands from the Combo module, controlling the drying process from start to finish. Furthermore, it sends operational data from the clothes dryer, including whether startup was successful and the device's running time, to the Combo module, which then uploads the data to the app and the cloud.

[0112] In this embodiment, by using a capacitive humidity sensor and a resistive humidity sensor, the current air humidity under different air humidity environments can be detected more accurately.

[0113] Please see Figure 3 The second embodiment of this application provides a clothing drying control device 200, including:

[0114] The current air humidity acquisition module 201 is used to acquire the current air humidity of the environment where the clothes drying on the target clothes drying rack are located;

[0115] The duration acquisition module 202 is used to acquire the current drying duration and the current air drying duration corresponding to the current air humidity according to the preset correspondence between air humidity and drying time.

[0116] The drying operation module 203 is used to operate the heating module and the blowing module of the target clothes drying machine according to the current drying time;

[0117] The air-drying operation module 204 is used to run the blowing module according to the current air-drying duration and preset energy-saving blowing parameters when the current drying time ends.

[0118] The current air humidity update module 205 updates the current air humidity, as well as the corresponding current drying time and current air drying time, at the end of the current drying time, thereby running the heating module and the blowing module until the current air humidity is less than the preset air humidity threshold.

[0119] It should be noted that the clothing drying control device 200 provided in the second embodiment of this application is only illustrated by the above-described division of functional modules when executing the clothing drying control method.
