Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of smart home appliance technology, specifically relating to a clothes drying control method, device, equipment, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Most garment drying equipment on the market currently determines whether drying is complete by capturing the moisture content of the garments during the drying process. However, during the drying process, garments are prone to tangling, resulting in the captured moisture content being the same as that of the exposed outer garments. Since the exposed outer garments are directly dried by hot air, their moisture content is lower than that of the inner garments. When the garment drying equipment determines that drying is complete based on the captured moisture content, the tangled inner garments have not reached the expected moisture content.

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, existing technologies typically employ the following approach: determining whether the clothing is tangled based on drying time and current moisture content, and then controlling the clothing handling equipment to shake and untangle the garments if tangling is confirmed. However, this method still cannot accurately determine whether clothing is tangled. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this application provides a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for controlling the drying of clothes.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a method for controlling the drying of clothes, the method comprising:

[0006] When the drying process of the clothing processing equipment meets the preset time, the current moisture content change curve is obtained based on the moisture content of multiple clothes to be dried.

[0007] The current program executed by the garment processing equipment is obtained, and multiple reference moisture content change curves are obtained from a pre-established moisture content change curve library according to the current program. The multiple reference moisture content change curves are used to show the change trend of the moisture content of the garments in the drum from the initial moisture content to the target moisture content under different degrees of garment wrapping.

[0008] Based on the current moisture content change curve and the corresponding multiple reference moisture content change curves, the degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried is determined, and the clothes processing equipment is controlled to perform a shaking operation based on the degree of tangling.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the step of obtaining multiple reference moisture content change curves from a pre-established moisture content change curve library according to the current program includes:

[0019] If so, then each candidate moisture content change curve is corrected according to the peak difference correction parameter and the time correction parameter to obtain the corresponding reference moisture content change curve;

[0020] If not, then each candidate moisture content change curve is corrected according to the time correction parameter to obtain the corresponding reference moisture content change curve.

[0021] In one possible implementation, determining the degree of tangling of clothes in the drying drum based on the current moisture content change curve and a plurality of corresponding reference moisture content change curves includes:

[0022] Obtain the similarity between the current moisture content change curve and each reference moisture content change curve;

[0023] Determine whether there is a target similarity greater than a similarity threshold among multiple similarities;

[0024] If so, the degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried in the drum is determined according to the reference moisture content change curve corresponding to the target similarity.

[0025] If not, the current moisture content change curve will be continuously updated until the degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried in the drum is determined based on the updated current moisture content change curve.

[0026] In one possible implementation, obtaining the similarity between the current moisture content change curve and each reference moisture content change curve includes:

[0028] Obtain the reference similarity between the current moisture content change curve and each reference curve segment, and use the reference similarity as the similarity between the current moisture content change curve and the corresponding reference moisture content change curve.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the degree of garment entanglement is no entanglement, partial entanglement, or complete entanglement, and the step of controlling the garment handling device to perform a shaking operation based on the degree of garment entanglement includes:

[0030] If the degree of entanglement of the clothing is no entanglement, then the clothing processing equipment shall continue to operate.

[0031] If the clothes are completely tangled, a prompt message will be output to remind the user to reposition the clothes to be dried.

[0032] If the degree of entanglement of the clothing is partial, then the clothing processing equipment is controlled to perform a shaking operation.

[0033] Secondly, this application also provides a clothes drying control device, comprising: a drawing module, an acquisition module, and a control module, wherein:

[0034] The drawing module is used to obtain the current moisture content change curve based on the captured moisture content of multiple clothes to be dried when the running time of the drying action of the clothing processing equipment meets the preset time.

[0052] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0054] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0055] In this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0056] During the drying process, clothes in garment processing equipment are prone to tangling, resulting in the moisture content of the captured garments being the same as that of the exposed outer garments. Since the exposed outer garments are directly dried by hot air, their moisture content is lower than that of the inner garments. When the garment processing equipment determines that drying is complete based on the captured moisture content, the tangled inner garments have not reached the expected moisture content. Existing technology addresses this problem by determining whether the garments are tangled based on the drying time and current moisture content, and then controlling the garment processing equipment to shake and untangle them when tangling is confirmed. However, this method still cannot accurately determine whether the garments are tangled.

[0057] This application also provides a method for controlling clothing drying. When the clothing processing equipment takes a long time to dry clothes, a current moisture content change curve is constructed based on multiple captured moisture contents. Multiple reference moisture content change curves for assessing the degree of clothing tangling are obtained according to the current program. The degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried is determined based on the current moisture content change curve and the multiple reference moisture content change curves. The clothing processing equipment is then controlled to shake and disperse the tangled clothes based on the degree of tangling. This method improves the accuracy of determining whether clothes are tangled, thereby ensuring the drying effect.

[0058] Next, the technical solutions shown in this application will be described in detail through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments may exist alone or in combination with each other, and the same or similar content will not be described again in different embodiments.

[0059] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a clothing drying control method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 1 .like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0060] S101. When the running time of the clothing processing equipment performing the drying action meets the preset time, the current moisture content change curve is obtained based on the captured moisture content of multiple clothes to be dried.

[0061] In this step, clothing processing equipment typically determines whether clothes are dry enough by capturing their moisture content. However, during the drying process, clothes may become tangled, preventing the innermost layers from being directly exposed to hot air, resulting in a significant difference in moisture content between the outer and inner layers. The moisture content captured by the clothing processing equipment is the same as that of the outer layers. Therefore, judging dryness solely based on the moisture content of the clothes is inaccurate. To avoid this, existing clothing processing equipment combines drying time and the current moisture content of the clothes to determine if tangling has occurred. However, the moisture content at the point of tangling varies depending on the type of clothes and the selected drying program. Therefore, relying solely on the moisture content and drying time to determine tangling is not accurate enough.

[0062] Furthermore, considering that although the moisture content of clothes to be dried differs depending on the degree of tangling when treated with the same drying procedure, the trend of moisture content change over time is the same. Therefore, this embodiment determines whether the clothes to be dried have become tangled based on the trend of moisture content change captured during the drying process.

[0063] Meanwhile, in the early stages of the drying process, the clothes are less likely to become tangled due to their higher humidity. Therefore, there is no need to monitor the moisture content of the clothes to be dried in the early stages of the drying process.

[0064] Specifically, when the garment handling equipment detects that it is performing a drying action, the duration of the drying action is acquired. If the duration meets a preset time, it is determined whether the garments to be dried are likely to become tangled. That is, a current moisture content change curve is established based on the continuously captured moisture content of multiple garments to be dried. The preset time can be determined based on the program currently being executed by the garment handling equipment and the material of the garments to be dried. For example, if the currently executing program is gentle drying with a total duration of 50 minutes, and the material of the garments to be dried is cotton or linen, which has a low probability of tangling, then the preset time can be determined based on half of the total duration, i.e., the preset time is 25 minutes.

[0065] S102. Obtain the current program being executed by the clothing processing equipment, and obtain multiple reference moisture content change curves from a pre-established moisture content change curve library according to the current program.

[0066] The multiple reference moisture content change curves are used to show the trend of moisture content of clothes inside the drum from the initial moisture content to the target moisture content under different degrees of clothing wrapping.

[0067] In this step, the moisture content change curve is obtained in advance through experimental simulation. It is used to compare with the actual change trend of the moisture content of the clothes to be dried when the clothes processing equipment performs the drying action. Based on the comparison results, it is determined whether the clothes to be dried will become tangled.

[0068] For example, Figure 2a , Figure 2b and Figure 2c The figures show the moisture content changes of clothing under simulated drying processes using the same program, with the clothes showing no tangling, partial tangling, and complete tangling. The initial and target moisture contents of the clothing were the same.

[0069] like Figure 2a As shown, when clothes are not tangled, all parts of the garment are dried evenly by hot air. Therefore, the relationship between moisture content and drying time presents a smooth curve without peaks. Figure 2b As shown, when clothes are in a semi-wrapped state, different parts of the clothes experience different drying effects due to the tangling effect. Therefore, the relationship between the moisture content of the clothes and the drying time in this state presents a fluctuating curve containing multiple peaks. Figure 2c As shown, because the garment is completely wrapped, a specific area of ​​the garment is continuously dried by the hot air from the garment processing equipment, and the moisture content detected by the equipment is also the moisture content of this area of ​​the garment that is continuously dried by hot air. Ideally, the change in moisture content of this area of ​​the garment versus drying time would be a smooth curve. Furthermore, since only this area of ​​the garment is directly exposed to hot air, the drying time required for the moisture content of this directly exposed area to decrease from its initial moisture content to the target moisture content is shorter.

[0070] Since the moisture content of clothes changes differently with drying time depending on the degree of tangling, this embodiment can determine the degree of tangling by comparing the actual trend of moisture content change of the clothes to be dried obtained when the clothes processing equipment performs the drying action with a pre-established moisture content change curve library.

[0071] Furthermore, the time required for the moisture content of the clothes to decrease from the initial moisture content to the target moisture content, as well as the peak difference, are affected by whether the clothes are tangled and the degree of tangling. The type of current program executed by the clothing processing equipment also affects the drying time of the clothes; that is, the greater the drying intensity of the current program, the shorter the time required for the moisture content of the clothes to decrease from the initial moisture content to the target moisture content. Therefore, this embodiment needs to obtain multiple reference moisture content change curves from a pre-established moisture content change curve library based on the current program executed by the clothing processing equipment.

[0072] Specifically, the current program being executed by the garment processing equipment is obtained, and multiple reference moisture content change curves are retrieved from a pre-established moisture content change curve library based on the current program.

[0073] S103. Based on the current moisture content change curve and the corresponding multiple reference moisture content change curves, determine the degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried, and control the clothes processing equipment to perform a shaking operation according to the degree of tangling.

[0074] In this step, considering that clothes to be dried by the same drying program have similar trends in moisture content change under the same degree of tangling, after obtaining multiple reference moisture content change curves according to the current program executed by the clothes processing equipment, the similarity between the current moisture content change curve and each reference moisture content change curve can be directly obtained, and the degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried can be determined based on the similarity.

[0075] In one possible implementation, clothing parameters such as fabric material can also affect the winding process of the clothes to be dried and the drying time required. Therefore, multiple candidate moisture content change curves can be obtained from a pre-established moisture content change curve library based on the current program, and then the candidate moisture content change curves can be corrected according to the parameters of the multiple clothes to be dried to obtain multiple reference moisture content change curves as needed.

[0076] Furthermore, after determining the degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried based on the current moisture content change curve and multiple reference moisture content change curves, it is necessary to control the clothes handling equipment to perform a shaking operation according to the degree of tangling. The degree of tangling can be divided into no tangling, partial tangling, or complete tangling. The specific process of controlling the clothes handling equipment to perform a shaking operation according to the degree of tangling is as follows:

[0077] If the degree of entanglement of the clothing is no entanglement, then the clothing processing equipment shall continue to operate.

[0078] If the clothes are completely tangled, a prompt message will be output to remind the user to reposition the clothes to be dried.

[0079] If the degree of entanglement of the clothing is partial, then the clothing processing equipment is controlled to perform a shaking operation.

[0080] This application also provides a method for controlling clothing drying. When the clothing processing equipment takes a long time to dry clothes, a current moisture content change curve is constructed based on multiple captured moisture contents. Multiple reference moisture content change curves for assessing the degree of clothing tangling are obtained according to the current program. The degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried is determined based on the current moisture content change curve and the multiple reference moisture content change curves. The clothing processing equipment is then controlled to shake and disperse the tangled clothes based on the degree of tangling. This method improves the accuracy of determining whether clothes are tangled, thereby ensuring the drying effect.

[0081] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a clothing drying control method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 This embodiment provides a detailed explanation of how to obtain multiple moisture content change curves from a moisture content change curve library according to the current program. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0082] S201. Based on the moisture content change curve library, select multiple candidate moisture content change curves for evaluating the tangling state of clothes to be dried according to the current program.

[0083] In this step, after obtaining the current program of the clothing processing equipment, multiple candidate moisture content change curves corresponding to the current program are selected from the moisture content change curve library.

[0084] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the number of candidate moisture content change curves corresponding to each current program, and can be determined according to the actual simulation situation.

[0085] For example, the trend of the moisture content of the clothes to be dried decreasing from the initial moisture content to the target moisture content can be simulated in advance under each drying program of the clothing processing equipment, under the conditions of no tangling, partial tangling, and complete tangling.

[0086] S202. Obtain the clothing parameter information of the clothes to be dried, and obtain the curve correction parameters based on the clothing parameter information.

[0087] In this step, considering that clothes with different parameters will have varying moisture contents when processed by the same drying program, under the same degree of tangling and drying time, this will affect the peak difference of the moisture content change curve and the drying time required for the clothes to reach the target moisture content from the initial moisture content. Therefore, to more accurately determine the degree of tangling of the clothes, this embodiment, after obtaining multiple candidate moisture content change curves according to the current program, corrects these curves based on the clothing parameter information of the clothes to be dried. The curve correction parameters include time correction parameters and peak difference correction parameters. The specific operation for obtaining the curve correction parameters based on the clothing parameter information is as follows:

[0088] Based on the clothing parameter information, analyze the ideal moisture content of the clothing to be dried based on the current program.

[0089] Obtain the moisture content difference between the ideal moisture content and the target moisture content, and obtain the time correction parameter based on the moisture content difference;

[0090] Based on the clothing parameter information, analyze whether the clothing to be dried is easily tangled, and obtain peak difference correction parameters based on the analysis results.

[0091] S203. Determine whether each candidate moisture content change curve contains a preset number of peaks.

[0092] In this step, when the clothes to be dried are completely undisturbed during the drying process, the experimentally obtained candidate moisture content change curve has no peaks and shows a downward trend. However, it is difficult for the clothes to be dried to be completely undisturbed during the drying process, so the actual candidate moisture content change curve has a small number of peaks. However, the number of these peaks is small, so when correcting the candidate moisture content change curve according to the curve correction parameter, it is not necessary to correct it using the peak difference correction parameter.

[0093] Therefore, after obtaining the curve correction parameters, it is necessary to first determine whether each candidate moisture content change curve contains a preset number of peaks. The preset number can be determined based on experimental simulation.

[0094] S204. If so, then each candidate moisture content change curve is corrected according to the peak difference correction parameter and the time correction parameter to obtain the corresponding reference moisture content change curve.

[0095] In this step, the number of peaks contained in the candidate moisture content change curve is obtained. If the number of peaks is greater than or equal to the preset number, it means that the candidate moisture content change curve needs to be corrected simultaneously according to the peak difference correction parameter and the time correction parameter. The reference moisture content change curve corresponding to the candidate moisture content change curve is obtained according to the corrected curve.

[0096] S205. If not, then correct each candidate moisture content change curve according to the time correction parameter to obtain the corresponding reference moisture content change curve.

[0097] In this step, if the number of peaks in the candidate moisture content change curve is obtained and it is determined that the number of peaks is less than the preset number, it means that there is no need to correct the peaks of the candidate moisture content change curve. That is, the candidate moisture content change curve is corrected according to the time correction parameter.

[0098] This application also provides a clothing drying control method. The method involves acquiring multiple candidate moisture content change curves based on the current program of the clothing processing equipment, obtaining clothing parameter information of the clothes to be dried, obtaining curve correction parameters based on the clothing parameter information, and determining whether to correct the candidate moisture content change curve based solely on the time correction parameter, or based on both the time correction parameter and the peak difference correction parameter, based on the number of peaks contained in each candidate moisture content change curve, thus obtaining a corresponding reference moisture content change curve. This method makes the obtained reference moisture content change curve used to assess whether the clothes to be dried are tangled more accurate.

[0099] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a clothing drying control method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 3 This embodiment provides a detailed explanation of the steps for determining the degree of tangling of clothes to be dried based on the current moisture content change curve and multiple corresponding reference moisture content change curves. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0100] S301. Extract a reference curve segment from each reference moisture content change curve based on the running time.

[0101] In this step, the reference moisture content change curves obtained from the moisture content change curve library represent the trend of moisture content change of the clothes to be dried from the initial moisture content at the beginning of drying to the target moisture content indicating the completion of drying, under different degrees of tangling. Therefore, it is necessary to extract the corresponding reference curve segment from each reference moisture content change curve based on the running time. Then, the similarity is calculated based on the reference curve segments.

[0102] S302. Obtain the reference similarity between the current moisture content change curve and each reference curve segment, and use the reference similarity as the similarity between the current moisture content change curve and the corresponding reference moisture content change curve.

[0103] In this step, after obtaining the reference curve segment for calculating similarity based on the running time, the similarity between the current moisture content change curve and each reference curve segment is calculated. This embodiment does not limit the method of calculating the similarity between the current moisture content change curve and each reference curve segment. For example, the corresponding reference similarity can be obtained based on the overlap between the current moisture content change curve and each reference curve segment.

[0104] Furthermore, after obtaining the current moisture content change curve and the reference similarity of each reference curve segment, the reference similarity is used as the similarity between the current moisture content change curve and the corresponding reference moisture content change curve.

[0105] S303. Determine whether there is a target similarity greater than the similarity threshold among multiple similarities.

[0106] In this step, after obtaining the similarity between the current moisture content change curve and each reference moisture content change curve, it is necessary to further determine whether there is a target similarity greater than the similarity threshold among the multiple similarities.

[0107] S304. If so, then determine the degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried in the drum based on the reference moisture content change curve corresponding to the target similarity.

[0108] In this step, when a target similarity greater than the similarity threshold is determined, it means that the current moisture content change curve is close to the reference moisture content change curve corresponding to the target similarity. In other words, the degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried is the same as the degree of tangling of the clothes indicated by the reference moisture content change curve corresponding to the target similarity.

[0109] S305. If not, continue to update the current moisture content change curve until the degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried in the drum is determined based on the updated current moisture content change curve.

[0110] In this step, when it is determined that there is no target similarity greater than the similarity threshold, it means that the moisture content of the clothes to be dried in the clothes processing equipment is still high. At this time, it is impossible to determine the degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried based on the current moisture content change curve. It is necessary to continue to obtain the moisture content of the clothes to be dried and update the current moisture content change curve until the degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried is determined based on the current moisture content change curve.

[0111] This application also provides a method for controlling clothing drying. Based on the running time of the clothing processing equipment, a reference curve segment is extracted from each reference moisture content change curve. The similarity between the current moisture content change curve and the corresponding reference curve segment is calculated. Then, based on whether there is a target similarity greater than a similarity threshold among the multiple similarities, the degree of tangling of the clothes to be dried is determined, or the current moisture content change curve is updated. This method improves the accuracy of determining whether clothes are tangled, thereby ensuring the drying effect.
