Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of clothes drying, in particular to a clothes drying control method, a program product, a storage medium and a dehumidifier. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people's requirements for the quality of life are also getting higher and higher, among which the drying and maintenance of clothes has become an important demand in daily life of the family. The traditional drying method is greatly affected by the weather and occupies a large space, which has gradually failed to meet the needs of modern families. Therefore, as an efficient and convenient clothes drying equipment, the dehumidifier has gradually been favored by the majority of consumers.

[0003] However, in the existing use process of the dehumidifier, a series of problems are found to be solved. First of all, the traditional dehumidifier usually runs continuously with constant air volume and air direction. This way ignores the actual state change of the clothes in the drying process, resulting in low drying efficiency and unsatisfactory drying effect. Secondly, since the dehumidifier is still running invalidly after the clothes are completely dried, unnecessary waste of electric energy is caused.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, some technologies have tried to adjust the running state of the dehumidifier by monitoring the characteristics of the clothes. For example, a method of adjusting the air speed and air volume of the dehumidifier according to the surface temperature of the clothes. However, this method has obvious limitations. Since the air temperature of the dehumidifier is usually higher than the ambient temperature, the measured value of the surface temperature of the clothes may be affected by the air temperature and be higher, resulting in misjudgment of the actual drying state of the clothes, and thus the dehumidifier stops too early, affecting the drying effect.

Similarly, if the first pressure value is less than the second pressure value, the air outlet direction of the dehumidifier can be adjusted to make more air flow to the second end; if the first pressure value is equal to the second pressure value, it means that the clothes are evenly distributed on the clothes drying bar, and at this time, the dehumidifier can be controlled to blow air centrally.

[0055] In the description of the present embodiments, the description of the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "some examples", "one example" and the like means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In the present specification, the illustrative description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any appropriate manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0056] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a clothes 50 drying scene according to one embodiment of the present application, as Figure 1 The clothes 50 drying scene can be located in a family, a laundry or any environment requiring drying of clothes 50, and the clothes 50 drying scene is configured with a dehumidifier 30 and a clothes hanger 40, the clothes hanger 40 is used to hang clothes 50, and the dehumidifier 30 is used to generate a drying air flow to dry the clothes 50 on the clothes hanger 40.

[0057] The dehumidifier 30 of the present embodiment should be understood in a broad sense, which not only includes a traditional dehumidifier 30, but also can cover various clothes drying devices with dehumidification or heating capabilities.

[0058] The dehumidifier 30 has a swing air supply mode, which can realize air supply in three directions of left front, front and right front. In the default swing air supply mode, the dehumidifier 30 has the same air supply time in the left, center and right directions, each occupying one third of a swing period, wherein a swing period refers to the entire process from swing left limit to swing right limit and back to swing left limit.

[0059] The clothes hanger 40 includes a clothes hanging horizontal rod 41 and two clothes hanging vertical rods 42, the clothes 50 are hung on the clothes hanging horizontal rod 41, and the two clothes hanging vertical rods 42 serve to support the clothes hanging horizontal rod 41, ensuring its stability and load bearing capacity.

[0060] The clothes hanger 40 further includes two pressure sensors, which are respectively arranged between the clothes hanging horizontal rod 41 and the two clothes hanging vertical rods 42. Specifically, the first end of the clothes hanging horizontal rod 41 and one of the two clothes hanging vertical rods 42 are provided with a first pressure sensor 43, and the second end and the other clothes hanging vertical rod 42 are provided with a second pressure sensor 44.

[0061] The dehumidifier 30 can be communicatively connected with the clothes hanger 40 to realize intelligent linkage of the two.

[0062] Specifically, the gravity of the clothes 50 on the clothes drying horizontal rod 41 generates a downward pulling force on the clothes drying horizontal rod 41, so that the two ends of the clothes drying horizontal rod 41 respectively exert downward pressure on the end heads of the two pressure sensors, forming pressure data, which can be fed back to the dehumidifier 30 through Bluetooth or WIFI or the like, and the dehumidifier 30 can determine the weight and distribution of the clothes 50 according to the feedback information, so as to adjust the working mode of the dehumidifier 30, such as adjusting the air outlet speed and direction, to realize the automatic clothes drying function.

[0063] It should be noted that, in order to make the detection value of the pressure sensor more accurate, the clothes drying horizontal rod 41 and the clothes drying vertical rod 42 in the embodiment can be made of hard materials such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, high-strength plastic, etc., so as to ensure that the clothes drying horizontal rod 41 and the clothes drying vertical rod 42 will not be deformed obviously under the weight of the clothes 50.

[0064] The embodiment provides a clothes drying control method applied to the dehumidifier 30 and the clothes drying rack 40 in the above, Figure 2 is a flowchart of the clothes drying control method according to an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, the clothes drying control method at least includes the following steps S210 to S250.

[0065] Step S210, start the dehumidifier 30 and prepare to enter the clothes drying process.

[0066] The dehumidifier 30 can be automatically started when a specific starting condition is met, or can be manually started by the user. After the dehumidifier 30 is started, it starts to generate dry air flow to dry the clothes 50 on the clothes drying rack 40.

[0067] Step S220, every first time interval, obtain a first pressure value of the first end of the clothes drying horizontal rod 41 and a second pressure value of the second end.

[0068] The first time interval can be 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 5 min, etc., the first pressure value is the pressure detection value of the first pressure sensor 43, and the second pressure value is the detection value of the second pressure sensor 44.

[0069] Step S230, every second time interval, calculate the sum of the first pressure value and the second pressure value obtained at the last time, to obtain the pressure value sum at the current time.

[0070] The second time interval can be equal to the first time interval, greater than the first time interval, or an integer multiple of the first time interval. The pressure value sum can reflect the total weight of the clothes 50 on the clothes drying horizontal rod 41 at the current time.

[0071] Step S240, based on the pressure value sums obtained at the previous and next times and the time interval, calculate the pressure change rate of the clothes drying horizontal rod 41.

[0072] The pressure change rate can reflect the rate of change of the weight of the clothes 50 during the drying process.

[0073] In step S250, the air outlet speed of the dehumidifier 30 is adjusted according to the pressure change rate.

[0074] Generally speaking (assuming that no new clothes 50 are added to the clothes hanger 40 during the clothes drying process), the calculated value of the pressure change rate is negative. The greater the absolute value of the pressure change rate, the faster the pressure drops, that is, the faster the weight of the clothes 50 decreases. In this case, the air outlet speed can be increased to speed up the drying process. The smaller the absolute value of the pressure change rate, the slower the pressure drops, that is, the slower the weight of the clothes 50 decreases. In this case, the air outlet speed can be appropriately reduced to reduce the energy consumption of the dehumidifier 10 for clothes drying, and to avoid over-drying or damage to the clothes 50.

[0075] Figure 3 is a flowchart of adjusting the air outlet speed of the dehumidifier 30 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 3 adjusting the air outlet speed of the dehumidifier 30 according to the pressure change rate can include the following steps S310 to S320.

[0076] In step S310, the interval range in which the pressure change rate is located is identified.

[0077] These interval ranges can be set in advance to correspond to different drying states of the clothes 50.

[0078] In step S320, the air speed gear of the dehumidifier 30 is adjusted according to the interval range in which the pressure change rate is located.

[0079] These air speed gears can be set in advance to correspond to different interval ranges.

[0080] For example, when the pressure change rate is in the low interval range, the absolute value of the pressure change rate is large, indicating that the weight of the clothes 50 decreases rapidly at this time. The dehumidifier 30 will switch to a high air speed gear (if the dehumidifier 30 is already in a high air speed gear, it will remain in the high air speed gear) to speed up the drying speed of the clothes 50. Similarly, when the pressure change rate is in the medium interval range, the dehumidifier 30 will switch to a medium air speed gear. When the pressure change rate is in the low interval range, the dehumidifier 30 will switch to a low air speed gear. In this way, the air speed gear can be reasonably switched according to the drying state of the clothes 50, thereby improving the clothes drying efficiency, reducing the energy consumption of the clothes drying process, and ensuring the quality of the clothes drying process.

[0081] In this embodiment, by identifying the interval range of the pressure change rate, the dehumidifier 30 can intelligently select the appropriate air speed gear, thereby optimizing the drying effect. Proper air speed adjustment can also prevent the clothes 50 from being excessively dried or damaged, prolonging the service life of the clothes 50.

[0082] Since the air speed gear is adjusted based on the interval range, rather than immediately after each pressure change, the frequency of adjusting the air speed gear can be reduced, improving the stability and reliability of the system.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, the first time interval is denoted as T1, the second time interval is denoted as T2, the first pressure value at the first end of the clothes drying horizontal rod 41 is denoted as F 左 , the second pressure value at the second end is denoted as F 右 , and the pressure change rate is denoted as R, then: R = [(F 左 +F 右 ) n -(F 左 +F 右 ) n-1 ] / ΔT, where ΔT = T2.

[0084] (F 左 +F 右 ) n -(F 左 +F 右 ) n-1 represents the difference between the total pressure value obtained at the last time and the total pressure value obtained at the previous time within a certain time interval ΔT. During the process of the constant amount of clothes 50 tending to completely dry, the moisture content of the clothes 50 gradually decreases, the gravity gradually decreases, and the pressure values monitored at both ends of the clothes drying horizontal rod 41 also decrease, so the result of (F 左 +F 右 ) n -(F 左 +F 右 ) n-1 is negative.

[0085] In the initial stage of drying the clothes 50, the moisture content of the clothes 50 decreases rapidly, and the pressure value decreases rapidly. At this time, the dehumidifier 30 has a large drying load, so it needs to maintain a high wind running state; during the process of gradually drying the clothes 50, the moisture content of the clothes 50 decreases slowly, and the pressure value changes slowly within the same time, so [(F 左 +F 右 ) n -(F 左 +F 右 ) n-1 ] / ΔT will gradually tend to 0, and the drying load of the dehumidifier 30 gradually decreases, so the air speed can be appropriately reduced; when [(F 左 +F右 ) n -(F 左 +F 右 ) n-1 / ΔT = 0, it indicates that the hanging clothes 50 are completely dry, and at this time, the dehumidifier 30 can be automatically shut down.

[0086] Suppose k1 and k2 are two preset thresholds, and k1 < k2 < 0. During the process of adjusting the wind speed gear of the dehumidifier 30 according to the range of the pressure change rate, if it is found that the pressure change rate R ≤ k1, the dehumidifier 30 can be adjusted to the high wind speed gear; if it is found that the pressure change rate R ∈ (k1, k2], the dehumidifier 30 can be adjusted to the medium wind speed gear; if it is found that the pressure change rate R ∈ (k2, 0), the dehumidifier 30 can be adjusted to the low wind speed gear; if it is found that the pressure change rate R = 0, the dehumidifier 30 can be turned off.

[0087] Furthermore, when (F 左 +F 右 ) n -(F 左 +F 右 ) n-1 results in a positive value, the pressure change rate R > 0, indicating that there are newly added clothes 50 to be dried on the drying rack 40. At this time, the dehumidifier 30 can be adjusted to the high wind speed gear.

[0088] In an optional embodiment, before starting the dehumidifier 30, the first pressure value at the first end and the second pressure value at the second end of the clothes drying crossbar 41 can be monitored. If it is monitored that the sum of the first pressure value and the second pressure value is greater than the sum of the initial pressure values of the clothes drying crossbar 41, then start the dehumidifier 30. Here, the sum of the initial pressure values refers to the sum of the pressure values at both ends of the clothes drying crossbar 41 when no clothes 50 are hung on the clothes drying crossbar 41, and it is related to the size specifications, materials, etc. of the clothes drying crossbar 41.

[0089] In practical applications, when the user has a need to dry clothes 50, the dehumidifier 30 needs to be placed in the middle at an appropriate distance directly in front of the drying rack 40, and the acquisition switch of the drying rack 40 is turned on. At this time, the dehumidifier 30 is in a standby non-operating state, and the drying rack 40 acquires the first pressure value and the second pressure value of the clothes drying crossbar 41 at a frequency of T1 / time and feeds them back to the dehumidifier 30.

[0090] After receiving the feedback data, the dehumidifier 30 calculates the sum of the first pressure value and the second pressure value and determines its magnitude. When it is found that the sum of the first pressure value and the second pressure value is greater than the sum of the initial pressure values of the clothes drying crossbar 41, the dehumidifier 30 will be officially started; otherwise, the dehumidifier 30 will remain in the standby non-operating state.

[0091] In an optional embodiment, after the dehumidifier 30 is started, the dehumidifier 30 will enter the high air speed gear, continuous dehumidification, and swing air supply mode by default. Since the clothes 50 are in the initial stage of drying at this time, such a setting can make the drying air flow of the dehumidifier 30 quickly blow to the clothes 50 between the first end and the second end of the clothesline 41, uniformly dry the clothes 50, and improve the drying efficiency even before the swing determination takes effect.

[0092] Figure 4 is a flowchart of adjusting the air outlet direction of the dehumidifier 30 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 4 The clothes drying control method can further include the following steps S410 to S420.

[0093] Step S410, compare the size of the first pressure value and the second pressure value obtained at the last time every third time length.

[0094] The third time length can be equal to the first time length, greater than the first time length, or an integer multiple of the first time length. The size of the first pressure value and the second pressure value reflects the weight distribution of the clothes 50 on the clothesline 41.

[0095] Step S420, adjust the air outlet direction of the dehumidifier 30 according to the comparison result.

[0096] If it is found that the first pressure value is larger, it means that there are more or more humid clothes 50 at the first end, and at this time the air outlet direction can be adjusted to be more biased to the first end; on the contrary, if the second pressure value is larger, the air outlet direction is adjusted to be more biased to the second end.

[0097] This method of periodically comparing the pressure values at both ends of the clothesline 41 and adjusting the air outlet direction of the dehumidifier 30 can ensure that the clothes 50 can be uniformly dried on the clothesline 41, improve the drying efficiency, and reduce the damage or deformation of the clothes 50 due to uneven drying.

[0098] In an optional embodiment, in the process of adjusting the air outlet direction of the dehumidifier 30 according to the comparison result, if it is found that the first pressure value is greater than the second pressure value, the swing air supply of the dehumidifier 30 can be controlled, and the air supply time length to the first end of the clothesline 41 is extended; if it is found that the first pressure value is less than the second pressure value, the swing air supply of the dehumidifier 30 can be controlled, and the air supply time length to the second end of the clothesline 41 is extended; if it is found that the first pressure value is equal to the second pressure value, the dehumidifier 30 can be controlled to air supply centrally.

[0099] In this way, through swing air supply and extension of the air supply time length of a specific end, the drying effect can be further optimized, the drying quality can be ensured, and the drying efficiency can be improved.

[0100] Specifically, after the dehumidifier 30 is started, it starts to determine F 左 and F 右 at a frequency of T3 / second, when F 左 = F 右 , the dehumidifier 30 switches from the default swing air supply to the central air supply; when F 左 > F 右 , the dehumidifier 30 extends the proportion of the left swing air supply time T 左 ; otherwise, the dehumidifier 30 extends the proportion of the right swing air supply time T 右 , and in one swing air supply cycle, T3 = T 左 + T 中 + T 右 .

[0101] The central air supply means that the dehumidifier 30 only supplies air to the front. The extension of the proportion of the left swing air supply time means that, in one swing air supply cycle, the proportion of the left, central, and right swing air supply times is T 左 > T 中 > T 右 or T 左 > T 中 = T 右 ; and the extension of the proportion of the right swing air supply time means that, in one swing air supply cycle, the proportion of the left, central, and right swing air supply times is T 右 > T 中 > T 左 or T 右 > T 中 = T 左 .

[0102] The hanging position of the clothes 50 to be dried on the clothesline 41 and the drying degree (water content) of the clothes 50 to be dried affect the values of F 左 and F 右 , and it can be understood that the side with a larger pressure value is closer to the side where the clothes 50 to be dried are hung, the side has more clothes 50 to be dried, and the dehumidifier 30 has a larger drying load, so the proportion of the swing air supply to the side needs to be increased. Since the hanging position of the clothes 50 is random and the water content of the clothes 50 is real-time during the drying process, the probability of F 左 = F 右 is small, and when F 左 = F 右 , the clothes 50 are probably hung at the central position, so the dehumidifier 30 does not need to swing left and right and only supplies air to the front.

[0103] The dehumidifier 30 periodically judges the actual drying state of the clothes 50 during the clothes drying operation, and timely adjusts the operation strategy, including the air outlet speed and the air outlet direction, to accelerate the drying speed of the clothes 50 while ensuring the drying quality of the clothes 50, accurately controls the start and stop of the dehumidifier 30, and effectively reduces the energy consumption of the clothes drying operation.

[0104] It should be noted that the first time length T1, the second time length T2, and the third time length T3 in the above embodiments are all set values, and the setting of these time lengths is to better meet the user demand and improve the use experience. In actual application, adjustments can be made in combination with specific use scenarios, user demand, and performance of the dehumidifier 30 and the clothes rack 40.

[0105] The above examples of the clothes drying control method are only exemplary, and those skilled in the art should easily expand and transform based on the above examples, and these expansions and transformations should fall within the protection scope of the present application. For example, the dehumidification capacity of the dehumidifier 30 can be adjusted by changing the operating frequency of the compressor.
