Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing device technology, and in particular to a control method for a clothing processing system, a clothing processing system, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of technology and living standards, users can control smart home appliances through the Internet of Things (IoT) operating system, thereby achieving the purpose of home life management and improving users' sense of well-being.

[0003] In existing technologies, users can remotely control the operation of a smart washing machine, so that the washing machine can complete the washing of clothes before the user returns home; when the user returns home, the washing machine has just finished the washing operation, and the user can directly hang the clothes to dry.

[0004] Although users can remotely control the washing machine to save time, once they get home, they need to plan how to dry their clothes based on the remaining space on the clothes dryer, which is not very convenient and does not provide a more intelligent user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a control method, a clothing processing system, and a storage medium for a clothing processing system. This system can formulate a suitable drying plan for the user based on the number of remaining empty spaces on the clothes drying rack and the amount of clothing to be washed. The user can directly follow the prompts to dry the washed clothes, which is highly convenient and provides a better user experience.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A control method for a clothing handling system, comprising a washing machine, a clothes drying rack, and a clothes dryer, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1. Obtain the quantity n1 of clothes to be washed and the remaining empty space n0 on the clothes drying rack;

[0009] S2. Control the washing machine to perform a washing operation to wash the clothes to be washed;

[0010] S3. Determine whether n0 is not less than n1;

[0011] If so, after the washing machine completes the washing operation, the clothes dryer is controlled to descend to the drying position, and the user is prompted to hang all the washed clothes on the clothes dryer.

[0012] If not, after the washing machine completes the washing operation, the first preset logic is used to determine whether it is necessary to dry some of the washed clothes and to provide a prompt to the user.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the aforementioned clothing handling system, in step S3, the step of using a first preset logic to determine whether some of the washed clothes need to be dried and providing a user prompt includes the following steps:

[0014] S31. Obtain current weather information and the drying time of the clothes currently on the clothes drying rack;

[0015] S32. Determine whether the drying time is sufficient for the clothes already on the clothes drying machine to reach the required degree of dryness.

[0016] If so, after the washing operation is completed, control the clothes dryer to descend to the drying position, prompt the user to remove the existing clothes on the clothes dryer, and hang the washed clothes to dry on the clothes dryer;

[0017] If not, the second preset logic prompts the user to dry some of the washed clothes and hang the rest of the washed clothes to dry in the clothes drying machine.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the aforementioned clothing handling system, step S32, which involves using a second preset logic to prompt the user to dry some of the washed clothes and hang the remaining washed clothes to dry in the clothes drying machine, includes:

[0019] S321. Determine whether the current weather is sunny;

[0020] If so, the third preset logic will prompt the user to air-dry the washed clothes;

[0021] If not, the user is prompted to hang clothes that are not suitable for tumble drying to the clothes drying rack, and to use the clothes dryer to dry the remaining clothes.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the aforementioned clothing handling system, the third preset logic includes:

[0023] S3211. Obtain the quantity n2 of clothes that are not suitable for drying from the washed clothes;

[0024] S3212. Determine whether n2 is not less than the value obtained by subtracting n0 from n1;

[0025] If so, the fourth preset logic will be used to prompt the user to air-dry the washed clothes;

[0026] If not, the user is prompted to hang clothes that are not suitable for tumble drying to the clothes drying rack, and to use the clothes dryer to dry the remaining clothes.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the aforementioned clothing handling system, the step of prompting the user to air-dry the washed clothes using a fourth preset logic includes:

[0028] The user is prompted to select clothes that can be dried from the existing clothes on the clothes drying rack, and the number of remaining empty spaces n0 on the clothes drying rack is updated to be no less than n2. Clothes that are not suitable for drying are hung on the clothes drying rack, and the remaining clothes are dried using the clothes dryer.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the aforementioned clothing handling system, the current weather information is obtained via the Internet.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the above-mentioned clothing processing system, in step S1, the quantity n1 of the clothes to be washed is obtained by the first visual detection device on the washing machine.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the above-mentioned clothing processing system, in step S1, the number of remaining empty spaces n0 on the clothes drying machine is obtained by the second vision detection device of the clothes drying machine.

[0032] A garment processing system, comprising a washing machine, a clothes drying rack, and a clothes dryer, wherein the garment processing system is controlled using the aforementioned control method.

[0033] A storage medium storing a computer program configured to execute the control method of the above-described clothing processing system during runtime.

[0034] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0035] The control method for a clothing handling system proposed in this invention enables control of the clothing handling system. Before the washing machine starts washing, the quantity n1 of the clothes to be washed and the material information of each garment are obtained, and the remaining empty space n0 on the clothes drying rack is also obtained. Then, the washing machine is controlled to perform the washing operation to wash the clothes. During the washing operation, it is determined whether n0 is not less than n1, that is, whether the remaining empty space on the clothes drying rack can accommodate all the clothes to be washed.

[0036] If the result of the judgment is that n0 is not less than n1, it means that the remaining space on the clothes drying rack can accommodate all the clothes to be washed. After the washing machine finishes the washing operation and obtains the washed clothes, the clothes drying rack is controlled to descend to the drying position and the user is prompted to hang all the washed clothes on the clothes drying rack.

[0037] If the result is that n0 is less than n1, it means that the remaining space on the clothes dryer cannot accommodate all the clothes to be washed. In this case, after the washing machine finishes the washing operation, the first preset logic is used to determine whether some of the washed clothes need to be dried, and a prompt is given to the user.

[0038] In other words, the control method of this clothing handling system can formulate a suitable drying plan for the user based on the number of remaining empty spaces n0 on the clothes drying rack and the number of clothes to be washed n1. After the washing machine finishes its washing operation, the user can directly follow the prompts to dry the washed clothes without having to plan the drying plan himself, thus improving the convenience and intelligent experience of the user when using the clothing handling system.

[0039] The clothing handling system and storage medium proposed in this invention can formulate a suitable drying plan for users based on the number of remaining empty spaces n0 on the clothes drying rack and the number of clothes to be washed n1. After the washing operation of the washing machine is completed, users can directly follow the prompts to dry the washed clothes without having to plan the drying plan themselves, thus improving the convenience and intelligent experience of users using the clothing handling system.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] See Figure 1 This embodiment provides a control method for a clothing processing system, which can control the clothing processing system and provide users with suitable drying solutions.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clothing handling system includes a washing machine, a clothes drying rack, and a clothes dryer.

[0052] The control method for the garment handling system includes the following steps:

[0053] S1. Get the number of clothes to be washed, n1, and the number of remaining empty spaces on the clothes drying rack, n0.

[0054] S2. Control the washing machine to perform the washing operation and wash the clothes to be washed;

[0055] S3. Determine whether n0 is not less than n1;

[0056] If so, after the washing machine finishes the washing operation, control the clothes dryer to descend to the drying position and prompt the user to hang all the washed clothes to dry on the clothes dryer;

[0057] If not, after the washing machine finishes the washing operation, the first preset logic is used to determine whether some of the washed clothes need to be dried and a prompt is given to the user.

[0058] The control method for the clothing handling system provided in this embodiment can control the clothing handling system. Before the washing machine starts washing, the quantity n1 of the clothes to be washed and the material information of each garment are obtained, and the remaining empty space n0 on the clothes drying rack is also obtained. Then, the washing machine is controlled to perform the washing operation to wash the clothes to be washed. During the washing operation, it is determined whether n0 is not less than n1, that is, whether the remaining empty space on the clothes drying rack can accommodate all the clothes to be washed.

[0059] If the result of the judgment is that n0 is not less than n1, it means that the remaining space on the clothes drying rack can accommodate all the clothes to be washed. After the washing machine finishes the washing operation and obtains the washed clothes, the clothes drying rack is controlled to descend to the drying position and the user is prompted to hang all the washed clothes on the clothes drying rack.

[0060] If the result is that n0 is less than n1, it means that the remaining space on the clothes dryer cannot accommodate all the clothes to be washed. In this case, after the washing machine finishes the washing operation, the first preset logic is used to determine whether some of the washed clothes need to be dried, and a prompt is given to the user.

[0061] In other words, the control method of the clothing handling system provided in this embodiment can formulate a suitable drying plan for the user based on the number of remaining empty spaces n0 on the clothes drying rack and the number of clothes to be washed n1. After the washing operation of the washing machine is completed, the user can directly follow the prompts to dry the washed clothes without having to plan the drying plan himself, thus improving the convenience and intelligent experience of the user in using the clothing handling system.

[0062] Specifically, in step S1, the quantity n1 of clothes to be washed is obtained by a first visual detection device on the washing machine. Optionally, the first visual detection device can be a camera; the user can put the clothes to be washed one by one into the drum of the washing machine, and the camera can record the quantity n1 of the clothes to be washed.

[0063] In step S1, the number of remaining empty spaces n0 on the clothes drying rack is obtained through a second vision detection device on the clothes drying rack. Optionally, the second vision detection device can be a camera installed on the clothes drying rack, which can obtain the number of remaining empty spaces n0 on the clothes drying rack in real time.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] This embodiment provides a control method for a clothing processing system, which can control the clothing processing system and provide users with suitable drying solutions.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clothing handling system includes a washing machine, a clothes drying rack, and a clothes dryer.

[0067] The control method for the garment handling system includes the following steps:

[0068] S1. Get the number of clothes to be washed, n1, and the number of remaining empty spaces on the clothes drying rack, n0.

[0069] S2. Control the washing machine to perform the washing operation and wash the clothes to be washed;

[0070] S3. Determine whether n0 is not less than n1;

[0071] If so, after the washing machine finishes the washing operation, control the clothes dryer to descend to the drying position and prompt the user to hang all the washed clothes to dry on the clothes dryer;

[0072] If not, after the washing machine finishes the washing operation, the first preset logic is used to determine whether some of the washed clothes need to be dried and a prompt is given to the user.

[0073] The control method for the clothing handling system provided in this embodiment can control the clothing handling system. Before the washing machine starts washing, the quantity n1 of the clothes to be washed and the material information of each garment are obtained, and the remaining empty space n0 on the clothes drying rack is also obtained. Then, the washing machine is controlled to perform the washing operation to wash the clothes to be washed. During the washing operation, it is determined whether n0 is not less than n1, that is, whether the remaining empty space on the clothes drying rack can accommodate all the clothes to be washed.

[0074] If the result of the judgment is that n0 is not less than n1, it means that the remaining space on the clothes drying rack can accommodate all the clothes to be washed. After the washing machine finishes the washing operation and obtains the washed clothes, the clothes drying rack is controlled to descend to the drying position and the user is prompted to hang all the washed clothes on the clothes drying rack.

[0075] If the result is that n0 is less than n1, it means that the remaining space on the clothes dryer cannot accommodate all the clothes to be washed. In this case, after the washing machine finishes the washing operation, the first preset logic is used to determine whether some of the washed clothes need to be dried, and a prompt is given to the user.

[0076] In other words, the control method of the clothing handling system provided in this embodiment can formulate a suitable drying plan for the user based on the number of remaining empty spaces n0 on the clothes drying rack and the number of clothes to be washed n1. After the washing operation of the washing machine is completed, the user can directly follow the prompts to dry the washed clothes without having to plan the drying plan himself, thus improving the convenience and intelligent experience of the user in using the clothing handling system.

[0077] Specifically, see Figure 2 In this embodiment, in step S3, the first preset logic is used to determine whether some of the washed clothes need to be dried, and a user prompt is given, including the following steps:

[0078] S31. Obtain current weather information and the drying time of the clothes currently on the clothes drying rack;

[0079] Specifically, current weather information is obtained via the internet. More specifically, in step S31, the clothing processing system is connected to the internet and can obtain current weather information via the internet.

[0080] S32. Determine whether the drying time is sufficient for the clothes already on the drying rack to reach the required level of dryness.

[0081] If so, after the washing operation is completed, control the clothes dryer to descend to the drying position, prompt the user to remove the existing clothes on the clothes dryer, and hang the washed clothes to dry on the clothes dryer.

[0082] If not, the second preset logic will prompt the user to dry some of the laundry and hang the rest of the laundry to dry in the clothes dryer.

[0083] If the result is that n0 is less than n1, it means that the remaining space on the clothes drying rack cannot accommodate all the clothes to be washed. At this time, after the washing machine finishes the washing operation, the first preset logic is used to obtain the current weather information and the drying time of the clothes already on the drying rack; then, it is checked whether the drying time meets the time required for the clothes already on the drying rack to reach the required dryness.

[0084] If the result is yes, it means that the clothes on the clothes drying rack are already dry. At this time, the user can remove the clothes from the clothes drying rack, and all the drying slots on the clothes drying rack will be freed up. The washed clothes can then be hung on the clothes drying rack to dry.

[0085] If the judgment result is negative, it means that the clothes on the clothes dryer are not yet dry, and there is no new space available on the clothes dryer. In this case, the second preset logic prompts the user to dry some of the laundry and hang the rest of the laundry on the clothes dryer. That is, when the judgment result is negative, the user is prompted to dry some of the laundry in the dryer and hang the rest of the laundry on the clothes dryer.

[0086] Further, see Figure 3 In this embodiment, step S32, which uses a second preset logic to prompt the user to dry part of the washed clothes and hang the remaining washed clothes to dry in the clothes drying machine, includes:

[0087] S321. Determine whether the current weather is sunny;

[0088] If so, the third preset logic will prompt the user to air-dry the washed clothes;

[0089] If not, the user will be prompted to hang clothes that are not suitable for tumble drying to the clothes drying rack, and to use the dryer to dry the rest of the laundry.

[0090] Specifically, the clothing processing system is connected to the internet and can obtain current weather information to determine whether the current weather is sunny. Understandably, if the current weather information indicates sunny, then the current weather is determined to be sunny; otherwise, the current weather is determined not to be sunny.

[0091] Specifically, in step S1, it is also necessary to obtain the material information of each garment to be washed. Only after obtaining the material information of each garment can it be determined which garments are suitable for drying and which are not.

[0092] In step S1, the number n1 of clothes to be washed is obtained by the first vision detection device on the washing machine.

[0093] Optionally, the first visual detection device can be a camera; the user can put the clothes to be washed into the drum of the washing machine one by one, and the camera can record the number of clothes to be washed, n1.

[0094] More specifically, the material information of each garment is obtained through the first visual detection device on the washing machine; for example, when the user gradually puts the clothes to be washed into the drum of the washing machine, the camera reads the clothing tags to obtain the material information of each garment.

[0095] Of course, in other embodiments, users may also upload the quantity n1 of clothes to be washed and the material information of each piece of clothing.

[0096] Specifically, the user's mobile phone has an application software installed to control the operation of the clothing processing system. The user can upload the quantity n1 of the clothes to be washed and the material information of each piece of clothing on the application software.

[0097] If the drying time is insufficient to meet the time required for the existing clothes on the clothes drying rack to reach the required dryness, it means that the existing clothes on the clothes drying rack are not dry and no new space can be freed up. At this point, it is determined whether the current weather is sunny. If it is sunny, the third preset logic is used to prompt the user to dry the laundry. If it is not sunny, the user is prompted to dry the laundry items that are not suitable for tumble drying on the clothes drying rack and use the dryer to dry the remaining laundry items.

[0098] Understandably, the garment handling system can inform users which types of clothing are not suitable for drying based on their material.

[0099] For example, wool and silk garments, cotton and linen garments, coated or film-coated garments (such as waterproof jackets or raincoats), and composite garments (such as radiation protection clothing, protective clothing, electrical work clothes, bulletproof vests, etc.) are not suitable for drying.

[0100] Further, see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the third preset logic includes:

[0101] S3211. Obtain the quantity n2 of clothes that are not suitable for drying from the washed clothes;

[0102] S3212. Determine whether n2 is not less than the value obtained by subtracting n0 from n1; that is, determine whether n2 is greater than or equal to n1-n0.

[0103] If so, the fourth preset logic will be used to prompt the user to air-dry the washed clothes;

[0104] If not, the user will be prompted to hang clothes that are not suitable for tumble drying to the clothes drying rack, and to use the dryer to dry the rest of the laundry.

[0105] That is, in this embodiment, after determining that the current weather is sunny in step S321, step S3211 is executed to obtain the number n2 of clothes that are not suitable for drying in the laundry; clothes that are not suitable for drying cannot be dried in a dryer and need to be air-dried on a clothes drying rack, so the clothes drying rack needs to have no less than n2 empty drying spaces.

[0106] Then, step S3212 is executed to determine whether n2 is greater than or equal to n1-n0; n2 is the quantity that needs to be dried, and the value obtained from n1-n0 is the quantity of laundry remaining on the clothesline after all the remaining empty spaces on the clothesline have been used for drying. If n2 is greater than or equal to n1-n0, it means that after putting the suitable clothes into the dryer, the remaining empty spaces on the clothesline are not enough to accommodate the remaining laundry. In this case, the fourth preset logic prompts the user to dry the laundry. If n2 is less than n1-n0, it means that after putting the suitable clothes into the dryer, the remaining empty spaces on the clothesline are enough to accommodate the remaining laundry. In this case, the user is prompted to dry the laundry that is not suitable for drying on the clothesline and to dry the remaining laundry in the dryer.

[0107] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fourth preset logic prompts the user to air-dry the washed clothes, including:

[0108] The system prompts the user to select clothes that can be dried from the existing clothes on the clothes drying rack, and updates the remaining empty space n0 on the clothes drying rack to no less than n2. Clothes that are not suitable for drying are hung on the clothes drying rack, and the remaining clothes are dried using the dryer.

[0109] Example 3

[0110] This embodiment provides a clothing processing system, which includes a washing machine, a clothes drying rack, and a clothes dryer. The clothing processing system is controlled using the control method of the clothing processing system in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

[0111] The clothing handling system provided in this embodiment is controlled using the clothing handling system control method of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. Before the washing machine starts washing, the quantity n1 of the clothes to be washed and the material information of each garment are obtained, and the remaining empty space n0 on the clothes drying rack is also obtained. Then, the washing machine is controlled to perform the washing operation to wash the clothes to be washed. During the washing operation, it is determined whether n0 is not less than n1, that is, whether the remaining empty space on the clothes drying rack can accommodate all the clothes to be washed.

[0112] If the result of the judgment is that n0 is not less than n1, it means that the remaining space on the clothes drying rack can accommodate all the clothes to be washed. After the washing machine finishes the washing operation and obtains the washed clothes, the clothes drying rack is controlled to descend to the drying position and the user is prompted to hang all the washed clothes on the clothes drying rack.

[0113] If the result is that n0 is less than n1, it means that the remaining space on the clothes dryer cannot accommodate all the clothes to be washed. In this case, after the washing machine finishes the washing operation, the first preset logic is used to determine whether some of the washed clothes need to be dried, and a prompt is given to the user.

[0114] In other words, the control method of the clothing handling system provided in this embodiment can formulate a suitable drying plan for the user based on the number of remaining empty spaces n0 on the clothes drying rack and the number of clothes to be washed n1. After the washing operation of the washing machine is completed, the user can directly follow the prompts to dry the washed clothes without having to plan the drying plan himself, thus improving the convenience and intelligent experience of the user in using the clothing handling system.

[0115] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clothing handling system also includes a controller. The washing machine, the clothes drying rack, and the dryer are all connected to the controller for communication, and the controller controls the coordinated operation of the washing machine, the clothes drying rack, and the dryer.

[0116] Optionally, in this embodiment, the clothes drying rack may also have a drying function to facilitate the quick drying of clothes on the clothes drying rack.

[0117] Example 4

[0118] This embodiment provides a storage medium storing a computer program, which is configured to execute the control method of the clothing processing system of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 when running.

[0119] Specifically, the storage medium is a computer-readable storage medium.

[0120] The storage medium provided in this embodiment stores a computer program, which is configured to execute the control method of the clothing handling system in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 during runtime. When controlling the clothing handling system using the above-described control method, before the washing machine starts washing, the quantity n1 of the clothes to be washed and the material information of each garment are obtained, and the remaining empty space n0 on the clothes drying rack is also obtained; then, the washing machine is controlled to perform a washing operation to wash the clothes to be washed. During the washing operation, it is determined whether n0 is not less than n1, that is, whether the remaining empty space on the clothes drying rack can accommodate all the clothes to be washed.

[0121] If the result of the judgment is that n0 is not less than n1, it means that the remaining space on the clothes drying rack can accommodate all the clothes to be washed. After the washing machine finishes the washing operation and obtains the washed clothes, the clothes drying rack is controlled to descend to the drying position and the user is prompted to hang all the washed clothes on the clothes drying rack.

[0122] If the result is that n0 is less than n1, it means that the remaining space on the clothes dryer cannot accommodate all the clothes to be washed. In this case, after the washing machine finishes the washing operation, the first preset logic is used to determine whether some of the washed clothes need to be dried, and a prompt is given to the user.

[0123] In other words, the control method of the clothing handling system provided in this embodiment can formulate a suitable drying plan for the user based on the number of remaining empty spaces n0 on the clothes drying rack and the number of clothes to be washed n1. After the washing operation of the washing machine is completed, the user can directly follow the prompts to dry the washed clothes without having to plan the drying plan himself, thus improving the convenience and intelligent experience of the user in using the clothing handling system.

[0124] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
