AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing drying equipment, in rack drying mode, suffers from uneven clothing distribution due to uniform airflow direction and force settings. This results in wet areas not drying in time while dry areas are over-dried, leading to low efficiency and a poor user experience.

Method used

Multi-point infrared temperature sensors are used to acquire temperature matrix data of the area where clothes are placed, calculate the temperature status of each sub-area, identify the undried areas, and achieve local drying by adjusting the fan speed, changing the direction of the air outlet, or opening specific air ducts.

Benefits of technology

It improves drying efficiency, avoids damage to clothes from over-drying, saves energy, and enhances the user's drying experience and satisfaction.

Abstract

The application discloses a drying control method and device, a clothes processing device and a storage medium, and relates to the technical field of smart home. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring temperature point array data of a clothes placing area on a drying support by using a multi-point infrared temperature sensor, the clothes placing area comprising a plurality of sub-areas; calculating the temperature state of each sub-area based on the temperature point array data; determining an un-dried area from the clothes placing area based on the temperature state; and controlling a fan of the clothes processing device to locally dry the clothes in the un-dried area. The technical scheme provided by the application can more effectively utilize energy and improve drying efficiency, thereby improving the drying experience and satisfaction of users.
