[0025] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a method for adjusting the height of a clothes drying rack based on the type of clothing. The method includes the following steps: S1, obtain the multimodal association information of the clothes to be dried.

[0026] In practice, the system acquires multimodal association information of the clothes to be dried. By collecting data features from different dimensions, it constructs a comprehensive data foundation reflecting the attributes of the clothes. Compared with solutions relying on a single information source, multimodal association information can improve recognition accuracy. For example, when visual information is difficult to accurately capture the outline due to occlusion, combining weight distribution features and possible device linkage information can form an effective supplement. This cross-validation mechanism of multi-source data significantly improves the system's perception capability and robustness in complex scenarios, providing rich and reliable data input for subsequent type judgment.

[0027] In some preferred embodiments, the above step "obtaining multimodal association information of clothes to be dried" specifically includes the following steps: obtaining the washing mode information of a preset smart washing device; obtaining the image information of the clothes to be dried; obtaining the load information of the clothes dryer, wherein the multimodal association information includes the washing mode information, the image information, and the load information.

[0028] In practice, by specifically defining the composition of multimodal association information, the comprehensiveness and reliability of clothing type recognition are further enhanced.

[0029] Washing mode information can directly reflect the washing requirements and material characteristics of clothing. For example, large item washing corresponds to large items such as bed sheets and duvet covers. This type of information provides important prior knowledge for clothing type identification.

[0030] Image information, through visual feature extraction, can capture the shape, texture, and structural details of clothing, thereby helping to determine its specific category.

[0031] Load information provides data on the quality of clothing from the perspective of physical properties. For example, the weight of clothing in a wet state can indirectly reflect information such as its water absorption, thickness, and length.

[0032] By combining washing mode information, image information, and load information, the system can achieve more comprehensive feature coverage in different scenarios. For example, when image information is difficult to accurately identify due to insufficient light or occlusion, load information and washing mode information can serve as effective supplementary information, avoiding misjudgments caused by the failure of a single information source. This multi-source data fusion strategy significantly improves the system's adaptability and fault tolerance in practical applications, making the clothing type identification results more stable and reliable, and laying a solid foundation for subsequent height adjustments.

[0033] S2, determine the target clothing type corresponding to the clothes to be dried based on the multimodal association information.

[0034] In specific implementation, the target clothing type corresponding to the clothes to be dried is determined based on the multimodal association information. The system transforms heterogeneous data into a unified type judgment criterion through feature fusion and pattern recognition technology. This process fully utilizes the complementarity and correlation between various types of information. For example, the washing mode can indicate the type of clothing, image features can identify its shape and structure, and load data indirectly reflects information such as its thickness, absorbency, and length. By comprehensively evaluating the inherent relationship between these features, the system can accurately distinguish clothing types. This invention can transform low-level data into clothing type identifiers with clear semantics, thereby establishing an operable judgment basis for subsequent high-level decision-making, while also avoiding overall control failure caused by misjudgment due to a single piece of information.

[0035] In some preferred embodiments, the above step "determining the target clothing type corresponding to the clothes to be dried based on the multimodal association information" specifically includes the following steps: determining an input feature vector based on the multimodal association information; inputting the input feature vector into a pre-trained clothing type recognition model, so that the clothing type recognition model outputs the target clothing type corresponding to the clothes to be dried.

[0036] In practice, a pre-trained clothing type recognition model was introduced to achieve efficient and intelligent processing of multimodal association information. This model can automatically learn the complex mapping relationship between different modal features and clothing types, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and generalization ability of classification.

[0037] Specifically, the system first constructs an input feature vector based on multimodal association information, transforming heterogeneous data into a unified format that the model can process. Then, it performs deep feature extraction and pattern matching using a clothing type recognition model. This machine learning-based approach effectively captures the non-linear relationships between features. For example, laundry mode information may have an implicit correlation with the image features of certain clothing items, while load information may be closely related to the material properties of the clothing. Compared to traditional rule-based judgment methods, this model can adaptively optimize feature weights through training data, reducing the subjectivity and limitations of manually set thresholds.

[0038] In addition, the model has the potential for continuous optimization. Through feedback from subsequent data and retraining, it can continuously adapt to new clothing types or user habits, further improving the long-term applicability of the system.

[0039] It should be noted that the clothing type recognition model is a trained machine learning or deep learning model. Its core function is to comprehensively analyze various input information and finally output the specific type of clothing.

[0040] The input to this clothing type model is a feature vector formed by fusing multimodal correlation information (such as laundry pattern information, image information, and weight information). This feature vector transforms different types of data (such as categorical data, image pixel data, and numerical data) into a unified mathematical representation that the model can process. For example, the laundry pattern is encoded as a vector representing program characteristics, images are processed through a convolutional neural network to extract feature vectors describing texture and shape, and weight data is normalized into numerical features.

[0041] This clothing type model is trained on a large amount of labeled clothing data, learning the complex mapping relationship between these feature vectors and the final clothing type (such as "shirt," "sheet," and "towel"). Its technical value lies in its ability to automatically learn and weigh the importance of different features. For example, when identifying a "sweater," the model learns that the "gentle mode" information from the washing machine has high confidence, the "knitted texture" identified in the image is a strong feature, and "medium weight" is also an auxiliary feature. Even if a certain information source is inaccurate (such as the folds in the clothing in the image being difficult to identify), the model can still make robust judgments based on other high-confidence information sources, thereby significantly improving the recognition accuracy and the robustness of the system.

[0042] In some preferred embodiments, the above step "determining the input feature vector based on the multimodal association information" specifically includes the following steps: encoding the laundry mode information into a laundry mode vector; obtaining the image feature vector corresponding to the image information; encoding the load information into a load feature vector; and fusing the laundry mode vector, the image feature vector, and the load feature vector to obtain the input feature vector.

[0043] In practice, the representation and fusion process of multimodal information was further optimized by specifically limiting the construction method of the input feature vector.

[0044] Encoding laundry pattern information into laundry pattern vectors transforms discrete categorical data into continuous numerical representations, thus enabling better integration into model computation. For example, different laundry patterns can be mapped to different laundry pattern vectors.

[0045] Image feature vector extraction is achieved through deep learning or other visual processing methods to capture key visual features of clothing, such as color distribution, texture, and shape contour. These features play an important role in distinguishing clothing types that look similar.

[0046] The load feature vector transforms the physical weight information of clothing into a form that the model can process through numerical encoding, enabling it to be analyzed collaboratively with other modal features on the same dimension.

[0047] Finally, by fusing the laundry pattern vector, image feature vector, and load feature vector into a unified input feature vector, the system can effectively integrate and complement multi-source information. For example, when identifying a certain type of clothing, if the image features are incomplete due to occlusion, the laundry pattern vector and load feature vector can provide auxiliary judgment criteria, avoiding recognition failure caused by the lack of single-modal information. This feature-level fusion strategy not only improves the efficiency of data utilization but also enhances the model's adaptability to complex situations, providing an important guarantee for the stable operation of the clothing type recognition model.

[0048] S3, determine the target drying height based on the target clothing type, and control the clothes drying machine to run to the target drying height.

[0049] In practice, the target drying height is determined based on the target clothing type, and the clothes dryer is controlled to operate at the target drying height. The system combines the type identification result with the preset drying strategy to achieve a complete closed loop from perception to execution. This step establishes a mapping relationship between clothing type and physical height, enabling the system to provide customized drying solutions for different clothing characteristics. Furthermore, by controlling the clothes dryer to automatically operate at the target height, the system completely eliminates the need for manual adjustment by the user, significantly improving operational convenience and ensuring the consistency and accuracy of height execution. The overall effect of this series of steps is to construct an intelligent drying system capable of autonomous perception, judgment, and execution. This system improves drying efficiency while optimizing clothing care quality, transforming the traditional experience- and manual drying process into a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly automated service.

[0050] In some preferred embodiments, the above step "determine the target drying height based on the target clothing type" specifically includes the following steps: determining the corresponding basic drying height according to the target clothing type; acquiring environmental status information in real time, and dynamically correcting the basic drying height based on the environmental status information to obtain the target drying height.

[0051] In practice, the system dynamically adjusts the basic drying height by incorporating environmental status information, allowing the drying height setting to adapt to real-time environmental changes and significantly improving the drying effect. For example, the system first determines the basic drying height based on the type of clothing being dried. This height is preset based on the general characteristics of the clothing and can meet the basic needs in most scenarios.

[0052] However, the actual drying effect is significantly affected by environmental factors, such as sunlight intensity, air humidity, wind speed, and temperature, all of which directly affect the drying speed and quality of clothes. By acquiring real-time environmental information, the system can dynamically adjust the drying height to adapt to current conditions. For example, in environments with strong sunlight, the system can appropriately lower the drying height to allow clothes to receive more sunlight and accelerate moisture evaporation; while in humid or rainy conditions, the system can raise the drying height to avoid the effects of ground moisture or to take advantage of better ventilation at a higher elevation.

[0053] This dynamic correction mechanism frees the drying process from fixed preset values, allowing it to automatically optimize based on environmental changes and maintain high drying performance under various weather and seasonal conditions. Furthermore, this method can cope with sudden environmental changes, such as sudden rainfall or increased wind speeds, by adjusting the height in a timely manner to protect clothing from damage.

[0054] In some preferred embodiments, the above step "dynamically correcting the basic drying height based on the environmental state information to obtain the target drying height" specifically includes the following steps: determining the height correction amount through a pre-trained environmental correction model based on the environmental state information; adding the basic drying height to the height correction amount to obtain the target drying height.

[0055] In practice, a pre-trained environmental correction model is used to determine the height correction amount, providing a scientific and adaptive calculation basis for dynamic height adjustment. This environmental correction model can learn the complex relationship between environmental parameters and the ideal drying height, thereby achieving accurate correction of the base height. For example, the environmental correction model can comprehensively consider the interactive effects of multiple environmental factors. For instance, high temperature combined with strong sunlight may require a larger negative correction to reduce the height, while high humidity combined with weak wind speed may require a positive correction to improve ventilation efficiency.

[0056] By calculating height corrections using an environmental correction model, the system avoids the limitations of simple rule-based corrections. For example, traditional methods may only make linear adjustments based on a single environmental factor, failing to handle the nonlinear effects of multiple coupled factors. The environmental correction model automatically learns the optimal correction strategy by using historical environmental and drying effect records from the training data, and generalizes to unseen environmental scenarios in practical applications. Furthermore, this environmental correction model can be continuously optimized based on long-term operational data, gradually adapting to personalized conditions such as the user's geographical location and seasonal changes.

[0057] Ultimately, by adding the base drying height to the height correction amount output by the model, the system can obtain a more accurate and applicable target drying height, thus maintaining optimal drying results under varying environmental conditions. This method not only improves the accuracy of height adjustment but also enhances the system's adaptability to different environmental scenarios.

[0058] It's important to note that the environmental correction model is a trained machine learning model. Instead of directly identifying clothing, it analyzes real-time environmental data and quantifies the impact of these environmental factors on the ideal drying height.

[0059] The input to the environmental correction model is an environmental feature vector, which contains real-time environmental state information obtained from sensors or external interfaces, such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, UV index, and wind speed. During training, the environmental correction model learns the intrinsic relationship between massive amounts of environmental data and optimal drying results, thereby understanding the potential impact of various environmental combinations.

[0060] The environmental correction model outputs a height correction, which is a specific numerical value (positive or negative). This height correction is an intelligent adjustment suggestion based on the current environment and the baseline drying height. For example, when the model detects a combination of "high light intensity" and "low humidity," it determines, based on its learned knowledge, that these are conditions conducive to rapid drying and may output a negative correction, suggesting that the drying height be appropriately lowered to make full use of sunlight and heat near the ground. Conversely, when the input features are "high humidity" and "no wind," the model will determine that drying conditions are unfavorable and thus output a positive correction, suggesting that the clothes be raised to seek better airflow.

[0061] The technological value of this environmental correction model lies in its leap from static, fixed height settings to dynamic, adaptive optimization. It enables the drying system to move beyond simply relying on the initial type of clothing, actively responding to changing environments and dynamically seeking the most suitable microclimate conditions, thereby proactively optimizing drying efficiency and effectiveness under various weather conditions.

[0062] In some preferred embodiments, the above step "determine the corresponding basic drying height according to the target clothing type" specifically includes the following steps: querying a preset clothing type-basic drying height mapping relationship based on the target clothing type to determine the basic drying height corresponding to the target clothing type.

[0063] In practice, the basic drying height is determined by querying a preset mapping relationship between clothing type and basic drying height, providing a stable and configurable benchmark for height adjustment. This clothing type-basic drying height mapping relationship is built based on in-depth research and experimental data on the drying needs of different clothing types, ensuring that all types of clothing receive a suitable initial drying height under standard conditions. For example, this mapping relationship can set a lower basic height for highly absorbent, heavy cotton clothing to promote moisture evaporation, and a higher basic height for large items such as sheets and duvet covers to prevent them from dragging on the floor. Through this preset mapping method, the system can quickly determine the corresponding basic height after identifying the target clothing type, without the need for complex real-time calculations, thereby improving response speed and operational efficiency.

[0064] Furthermore, the configurability of the mapping relationship allows the system to flexibly adapt to the needs of different users or product updates. For example, by updating the mapping table, new clothing drying strategies can be added or the recommended height for existing clothing can be adjusted. This method also ensures the consistency and reliability of the basic height decision, avoiding the impact of environmental interference or data noise on the initial height setting. Ultimately, by associating clothing type with the basic drying height, an accurate benchmark value is provided for subsequent steps in achieving height adaptive control. Combined with dynamic environmental correction, this constitutes a complete and efficient drying height optimization scheme.

[0065] In some preferred embodiments, the above step "determine the height correction amount based on the environmental state information using a pre-trained environmental correction model" specifically includes the following steps: obtaining an environmental feature vector based on the environmental state information; inputting the environmental feature vector into the pre-trained environmental correction model so that the environmental correction model outputs the height correction amount.

[0066] In practice, by transforming environmental state information into environmental feature vectors and using a pre-trained environmental correction model to output height correction values, an end-to-end intelligent mapping from environmental information to height decision-making is achieved. The construction of environmental feature vectors integrates various environmental parameters into a unified numerical representation. For example, data such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, and wind speed can be encoded into different dimensions of the vector, thus preserving their original distribution and correlation characteristics. This feature representation method enables the environmental correction model to more effectively capture the complex relationships between environmental factors. For instance, the combination of high humidity and low wind speed may mean a significant decrease in drying rate, requiring a larger positive height correction to improve ventilation. Through deep learning or other machine learning methods, the environmental correction model can learn the mapping pattern between environmental features and ideal height correction values ​​from a large amount of historical data and make reasonable predictions when facing new environmental conditions.

[0067] For example, during training, the model can learn that certain combinations of environmental features typically correspond to specific height adjustment requirements, thus enabling rapid response to similar scenarios in practical applications. This model-based approach not only improves the accuracy of height correction but also endows the system with the ability to generalize to unknown environmental conditions, allowing it to exhibit stable performance in diverse real-world usage scenarios. Ultimately, by combining environmental feature vectors with the pre-trained model, the system achieves automated and optimized calculation of height correction, providing reliable technical support for the dynamic adjustment of drying height.

[0068] This invention proposes a method for adjusting the height of a clothes drying rack based on clothing type. The method includes: acquiring multimodal association information of the clothes to be dried; determining the target clothing type based on the multimodal association information; determining the target drying height based on the target clothing type; and controlling the clothes drying rack to operate at the target drying height. By acquiring multimodal association information, the accuracy and robustness of clothing type recognition are significantly improved, effectively overcoming the limitations of single information sources in complex scenarios. Based on the recognition results, the system can automatically determine the optimal drying height for different clothing characteristics, realizing a personalized drying strategy. By controlling the clothes drying rack to precisely operate at the target height, the need for manual adjustment is completely eliminated. This improves operational convenience while ensuring optimized drying results, ultimately constructing an intelligent drying system integrating perception, decision-making, and execution.
