It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application can be practiced without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not described in detail in order to avoid obscuring the description of the present application. Thus, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.

[0024] As shown in Figure 1 In a first aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a clothes drying control method for controlling an air conditioner 1, which includes S10-S30, which can accurately determine whether the clothes have been completely dried, and then accurately control the air conditioner 1 to exit the target clothes drying mode in time after completing clothes drying, thereby improving the use comfort.

[0025] S10: controlling the air conditioner 1 to operate in the target drying mode to dry the clothes.

[0026] Here, the type of the target drying mode can be determined in advance according to actual use needs, for example, can include different types such as a refrigeration drying mode, a heating drying mode, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. When the air conditioner 1 is controlled to operate in the target drying mode, the air conditioner 1 can operate according to the operating parameters corresponding to the target drying mode to indirectly dry the clothes hung in the room by reducing the indoor environment humidity, or directly dry the clothes hung in the room by blowing cold or warm air to the clothes.

[0027] S20: determining whether the clothes are completely dried according to a preset judgment parameter.

[0028] Here, the preset judgment parameter includes at least one of a drying degree recognition parameter of the clothes and an indoor humidity change rate. The drying degree recognition parameter of the clothes can be obtained by detecting the clothes, which is a characteristic parameter of the clothes itself and can directly reflect the drying degree of the clothes. The indoor humidity change rate refers to the change amount of the indoor humidity in a unit time, which can reflect the change speed of the indoor humidity and then indirectly feedback the drying degree of the clothes. In some embodiments, whether the clothes are completely dried can be determined only according to the drying degree recognition parameter of the clothes. In other embodiments, whether the clothes are completely dried can be determined only according to the indoor humidity change rate. In still other embodiments, whether the clothes are completely dried can be determined according to the drying degree recognition parameter of the clothes and the indoor humidity change rate.

[0029] S30: controlling the air conditioner 1 to exit the target drying mode when it is determined that the clothes are completely dried.

[0030] When it is determined that the clothes are completely dried, it indicates that there is no need to continue to dry the clothes, at which time the air conditioner 1 can be controlled to exit the target drying mode to restore the air conditioner 1 to a normal refrigeration / normal heating state to ensure the cold / warm needs of the user.

[0031] Compared with the related art, the drying control method provided by the embodiments of the present application can accurately determine whether the clothes are completely dried according to the preset judgment parameter during the operation of the air conditioner 1 in the target drying mode, to accurately control the air conditioner 1 to exit the target drying mode in time after the drying is completed, and improve the use comfort.

[0032] In some embodiments, the preset judgment parameter can include a dryness recognition parameter of the laundry, and the dryness recognition parameter of the laundry includes a temperature standard deviation of each target region on the laundry. Here, the target region on the laundry can include at least one of an underarm, a cuff, a collar, a pocket, a pocket, and the like, which is not easy to be dried; in some examples, the target region on the laundry can include the underarm, the cuff, the collar, the pocket, and the pocket of the laundry. As shown in FIG. 8, S20 can include S21-S23. Figure 2

[0033] S21: determining a temperature standard deviation of each target region on the laundry.

[0034] The calculation method of the temperature standard deviation of each target region on the laundry can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. In some examples, each target region can include a plurality of sub-regions arranged in sequence. As shown in FIG. 8, S21 can include S211-S213. Figure 3

[0035] S211: obtaining real-time temperatures of each sub-region in the target region.

[0036] Here, the real-time temperature of each sub-region in the target region can be detected by, for example, an infrared sensing device or the like temperature detection device.

[0037] S212: determining an average temperature of the target region according to the real-time temperatures of each sub-region in the target region.

[0038] Here, the arithmetic mean of the real-time temperatures of each sub-region in the target region can be calculated, and the arithmetic mean is taken as the average temperature of the target region.

[0039] S213: determining a temperature standard deviation of the target region according to the real-time temperatures of each sub-region in the target region and the average temperature of the target region.

[0040] For example, the temperature standard deviation of the target region can be determined according to the following calculation formula:

[0041] wherein, S is the temperature standard deviation of the target region, n is the number of sub-regions in the target region, which represents that the target region has n sub-regions, T i is the real-time temperature of the i-th sub-region in the target region, is the average temperature of the target region.

[0042] S22: determining whether the temperature standard deviation of each target region on the laundry is less than or equal to a standard deviation threshold.

[0043] ​​Here, the standard deviation threshold value can be determined in advance according to experimental test data, and used as a critical value for judging whether the target region is completely dried. If the temperature standard deviation of a target region is less than or equal to the standard deviation threshold value, it indicates that the temperature distribution of each sub-region in the target region is relatively tight, and the temperature of any two sub-regions is relatively close, and the target region is consistent with the temperature distribution when completely dried, so it can be determined that the target region has been completely dried. If the temperature standard deviation of a target region is greater than the standard deviation threshold value, it indicates that the temperature distribution of each sub-region in the target region is relatively dispersed, and the temperature difference between different sub-regions is large, and the target region is inconsistent with the temperature distribution when completely dried, so it can be determined that the target region is not completely dried, and some positions are still in a wet state, and the clothes need to be dried to completely dry the target region.

[0044] S23: When it is determined that the temperature standard deviation of each target region on the clothes is less than or equal to the standard deviation threshold value, it is determined that the clothes are completely dried.

[0045] As described above, when it is determined that the temperature standard deviation of each target region on the clothes is less than or equal to the standard deviation threshold value, it can be determined that the clothes are completely dried. At this time, the air conditioner 1 can be controlled to exit the target drying mode as in S30.

[0046] By setting S21-S23, whether the clothes are completely dried can be accurately judged according to the temperature standard deviation of each target region on the clothes, so as to accurately control the air conditioner 1 to exit the target drying mode in time after completing the drying, and improve the use comfort.

[0047] In some embodiments, the preset judgment parameter can include a drying degree recognition parameter of the clothes, and the drying degree recognition parameter of the clothes can include at least one of a surface color parameter change rate and a surface shape change rate of the clothes.

[0048] The surface color parameter change rate of the clothes refers to the change amount of the surface color parameter of the clothes per unit time, and the surface color parameter of the clothes can be, for example, a parameter type such as surface color depth, surface color hue, etc. The inventors have found that during the drying process of the clothes by the air conditioner 1, as the drying degree of the clothes gradually increases, the surface color of the clothes will become lighter; after the clothes are completely dried, the surface color of the clothes no longer changes significantly. Therefore, whether the clothes are completely dried can be determined according to the surface color parameter change rate of the clothes. Here, the surface color parameter of the clothes can be collected by a visual sensing device such as a camera, and then the surface color parameter change rate of the clothes can be calculated.

[0049] The surface shape change rate of the clothes refers to the change amount of the surface shape of the clothes per unit time. The inventors have found that, in the process of drying the clothes by the air conditioner 1, as the drying degree of the clothes gradually increases, the surface shape of the clothes gradually changes; after the clothes are completely dried, the surface shape of the clothes no longer changes obviously. Therefore, whether the clothes are completely dried can be determined according to the surface shape change rate of the clothes. Here, the surface shape of the clothes can be collected by a visual sensing device such as a camera, and then the surface shape change rate of the clothes can be calculated.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 8, S20 can include S24-S25. Figure 4

[0051] S24: Determine whether the drying degree identification parameter of the clothes is less than or equal to the corresponding identification parameter threshold.

[0052] Here, the identification parameter threshold and the drying degree identification parameter of the clothes are correspondingly set, and the types are the same. Accordingly, the identification parameter threshold can include at least one of the color parameter change rate threshold and the shape change rate threshold. In some examples, the drying degree identification parameter of the clothes can only include the surface color parameter change rate of the clothes, and the identification parameter threshold can only include the color parameter change rate threshold; in other examples, the drying degree identification parameter of the clothes can only include the surface shape change rate of the clothes, and the identification parameter threshold can only include the shape change rate threshold; in yet other examples, the drying degree identification parameter of the clothes can include both the surface color parameter change rate and the surface shape change rate of the clothes, and the identification parameter threshold can include both the color parameter change rate threshold and the shape change rate threshold.

[0053] S25: When it is determined that the drying degree identification parameter of the clothes is less than or equal to the corresponding identification parameter threshold, it is determined that the clothes are completely dried.

[0054] When it is determined that the surface color parameter change rate of the clothes is less than or equal to the color parameter change rate threshold, it can be determined that the surface color of the clothes no longer changes obviously, indicating that the state is consistent with the state after the clothes are completely dried, and then it can be determined that the clothes are completely dried. Conversely, when it is determined that the surface color parameter change rate of the clothes is greater than the color parameter change rate threshold, it can be determined that the surface color of the clothes is still changing obviously, indicating that the state is inconsistent with the state after the clothes are completely dried, and then it can be determined that the clothes are not completely dried.

[0055] ​When it is determined that the surface shape change rate of the clothes is less than or equal to the shape change rate threshold, it can be determined that the surface shape of the clothes no longer changes significantly, indicating that the state is consistent with the state after the clothes are completely dried, and thus it can be determined that the clothes are completely dried. Conversely, when it is determined that the surface shape change rate of the clothes is greater than the color shape change rate threshold, it can be determined that the surface shape of the clothes is still changing significantly, indicating that the state is inconsistent with the state after the clothes are completely dried, and thus it can be determined that the clothes are not completely dried.

[0056] By setting S24-S25, whether the clothes are completely dried can be accurately determined according to the drying degree identification parameter of the clothes, so as to accurately control the air conditioner 1 to exit the target clothes drying mode in time after the clothes drying is completed, and improve the use comfort.

[0057] In some embodiments, the preset judgment parameter can include an indoor humidity change rate. As shown in FIG. 6, S20 can include S26-S27. Figure 5

[0058] S26: Determine whether the indoor humidity change rate is within a preset change rate interval.

[0059] Here, the preset change rate interval is used as a threshold interval for determining whether the clothes are completely dried, and can be determined in advance according to experimental test data. For example, the indoor humidity change rate before and after the clothes are completely dried can be detected, and thus the indoor humidity change rate range corresponding to when the clothes are completely dried is determined, and the indoor humidity change rate range is used as the preset change rate interval.

[0060] S27: When it is determined that the indoor humidity change rate is within the preset change rate interval, it is determined that the clothes are completely dried.

[0061] The inventors have found that in the process of drying the clothes, the water in the clothes is released into the indoor environment, causing a significant change in the indoor humidity. After the clothes are completely dried, the clothes no longer contain water and no water is released into the indoor environment, so the indoor humidity no longer changes significantly. Therefore, whether the clothes are completely dried can be determined according to the indoor humidity change rate.

[0062] When it is determined that the indoor humidity change rate is within the preset change rate interval, it can be determined that the indoor humidity no longer changes significantly, and the indoor humidity change state after the clothes are completely dried is consistent, and thus it can be determined that the clothes are completely dried. Conversely, when it is determined that the indoor humidity change rate is outside the preset change rate interval, it can be determined that the indoor humidity still changes significantly, and the indoor humidity change state after the clothes are completely dried is inconsistent, and thus it can be determined that the clothes are not completely dried.

[0063] ​By setting S26~S27, whether the clothes have been completely dried can be accurately determined according to the indoor humidity change rate, so as to accurately control the air conditioner 1 to exit the target drying mode in time after completing the clothes drying, and improve the use comfort.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, before S10, the clothes drying control method can include S01~S02. Figure 6

[0065] S01: determining whether the clothes drying operation condition is met according to the local environment humidity and the clothes drying threshold humidity.

[0066] Here, the local environment humidity can be obtained from the local weather information published by the meteorological department through the communication network, or can be determined by real-time measurement of the humidity sensor arranged outdoors, which can reflect whether the current climate is humid. When the local environment humidity is greater than or equal to the clothes drying threshold humidity, it can be determined that the current climate is relatively humid, which causes the clothes to be difficult to dry naturally indoors, and thus it can be determined that the clothes drying operation condition is met, and the air conditioner 1 needs to be controlled to dry the clothes. When the local environment humidity is less than the clothes drying threshold humidity, it can be determined that the current climate is relatively dry, and the clothes can be dried naturally indoors, and thus it can be determined that the clothes drying operation condition is not met, and the air conditioner 1 does not need to be controlled to dry the clothes.

[0067] S02: determining the target drying mode of the air conditioner 1 according to the clothing index when it is determined that the clothes drying operation condition is met.

[0068] The clothing index refers to the thickness of the clothes required to keep the body surface temperature constant or to keep the human body in a comfortable state. The clothing index is divided into multiple levels, for example, 8 levels. The smaller the clothing index, the thinner the thickness of the clothes required, and the warmer the current climate; the larger the clothing index, the thicker the thickness of the clothes required, and the colder the current climate. In this way, the thickness of the clothes required to be dried and the season currently in can be determined according to the clothing index, and then the target drying mode of the air conditioner 1 can be determined according to the thickness of the clothes required to be dried and the season currently in.

[0069] In some embodiments, the target drying mode can include a first refrigeration drying mode, a second refrigeration drying mode, and a heating drying mode. As shown in FIG. 1, S02 can include S021~S023. Figure 7

[0070] S021: determining that the target drying mode of the air conditioner 1 is the first refrigeration drying mode when the clothing index is in a first preset level range.

[0071] S022: determining that the target drying mode of the air conditioner 1 is the second refrigeration drying mode when the clothing index is in a second preset level range.

[0072] ​​S023: When the clothing index is in the third preset level range, determining that the target drying mode of the air conditioner 1 is the heating drying mode.

[0073] In some examples, the first preset level range, the second preset level range and the third preset level range respectively contain a plurality of clothing index levels. The clothing index levels contained in the first preset level range are lower than the clothing index levels contained in the second preset level range, and the clothing index levels contained in the second preset level range are lower than the clothing index levels contained in the third preset level range, so that the clothing thickness corresponding to the first preset level range is smaller than the clothing thickness corresponding to the second preset level range, and the clothing thickness corresponding to the second preset level range is smaller than the clothing thickness corresponding to the third preset level range.

[0074] For example, the clothing index can be divided into 8 levels, the first preset level range can contain levels 1-2, the second preset level range can contain levels 3-5, and the first preset level range can contain levels 6-8. When the clothing index is in the first preset level range, it can be determined that the thickness of the clothes to be dried is thin, and the current climate is relatively hot and humid, and it can be determined that the target drying mode of the air conditioner 1 is the first cooling drying mode to meet the user's need for cool experience and light drying. When the clothing index is in the second preset level range, it can be determined that the thickness of the clothes to be dried is moderate, and the current climate is warm and humid, and it can be determined that the target drying mode of the air conditioner 1 is the second cooling drying mode to meet the user's need for cool experience and heavy drying. When the clothing index is in the third preset level range, it can be determined that the thickness of the clothes to be dried is thick, and the current climate is relatively cold and humid, and it can be determined that the target drying mode of the air conditioner 1 is the heating drying mode to meet the user's need for warmth and drying.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, S10 can include S11-S13. Figure 8

[0076] S11: When the target drying mode of the air conditioner 1 is the first cooling drying mode, controlling the air conditioner 1 to perform cooling dehumidification according to the first cooling drying set temperature.

[0077] At this time, the air conditioner 1 can not control the clothes to be dried, but can indirectly dry the clothes hung in the indoor environment by reducing the indoor humidity.

[0078] S12: When the target drying mode of the air conditioner 1 is the second cooling drying mode, controlling the air conditioner 1 to perform cooling dehumidification according to the second cooling drying set temperature, and determining the target air supply direction of the air conditioner 1 according to the spatial position of the clothes and controlling the air conditioner 1 to perform directional air supply in the target air supply direction to blow the clothes. ​

[0079] Here, the target angles of the air deflector and the air sweeping blade of the air conditioner 1 can be determined according to the center position coordinates of the clothes or the clothes racks on which the clothes are hung. The air deflector is used to swing up and down to change the air outlet angle of the air conditioner 1, and the air sweeping blade is used to swing left and right to change the air outlet angle of the air conditioner 1.

[0080] S13: When the target drying mode of the air conditioner 1 is the heating drying mode, the air conditioner 1 is controlled to perform refrigeration dehumidification according to the heating drying set temperature, and the target air supply direction of the air conditioner 1 is determined according to the spatial position of the clothes, and the air conditioner 1 is controlled to perform directional air supply in the target air supply direction to blow dry the clothes.
