[0018] To achieve the above objectives, a second aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a drying control program for a storage component, which, when executed by a processor, implements the drying control method for the storage component.

[0019] According to the computer-readable storage medium of the present invention, automatic drying operation of the drying chamber can be achieved by detecting whether an appliance is placed in the drying chamber and controlling the operation of the fan and heater according to the temperature and humidity of the drying chamber, without the need for manual adjustment and control, thus bringing convenience to the user.

[0020] To achieve the above objectives, a third aspect of the present invention provides a drying control device for a storage component.

[0038] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 According to the drying control method of the storage component 100 of the present invention, the storage component 100 includes a fan 21, a first drying chamber 110, a first heater 231 corresponding to the first drying chamber 110, a second drying chamber 120 and a second heater 232 corresponding to the second drying chamber 120, which can separately store and dry different appliances.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drying method for the storage component 100 includes:

[0041] S10, when the first appliance is placed in the first drying chamber 110 and / or the second appliance is placed in the second drying chamber 120, the fan 21 is controlled to send air to the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 respectively.

[0042] S20, acquire the temperature and humidity of the first drying chamber 110, and acquire the temperature and humidity of the second drying chamber 120.

[0043] S30, the first heater 231 and the second heater 232 are controlled according to the temperature of the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 respectively, and the fan 21 is controlled according to the humidity of the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120.

[0044] For example, when the first appliance is placed in the first drying chamber 110, the fan 21 can be controlled to blow air into the first drying chamber 110, and the temperature and humidity inside the first drying chamber 110 can be obtained. The operation of the fan 21 can be controlled based on the humidity of the first drying chamber 110, and the first heater 231 can be controlled based on the temperature of the first drying chamber 110. This allows for hot air drying of the first drying chamber 110. This accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the appliance surface, improving drying efficiency. Furthermore, the high temperature can inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms, thereby improving the hygiene of the appliance during and after drying. Similarly, when the second appliance is placed in the second drying chamber 120, the operation of the second heater 232 and the fan 21 can also be controlled based on the temperature and humidity inside the second drying chamber 120. Alternatively, when the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 are respectively placed with the first appliance and the second appliance, the fan 21 can run to simultaneously send air to the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 to improve drying efficiency. The first heater 231 and the second heater 232 can heat the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 respectively according to the temperature of the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 to improve the drying effect.

[0045] Specifically, the storage assembly 100 includes a first drying chamber 110 and a second drying chamber 120 for storing different utensils. Thus, different types of utensils can be stored separately and dried separately. For example, the first utensils can be knives or heat-resistant utensils, while the second utensils can be cutting boards or utensils with poor heat resistance. Due to the different materials of knives and cutting boards, their requirements for drying temperature and drying time are also different. Therefore, by placing the first utensils in the first drying chamber 110 and the second utensils in the second drying chamber 120, and controlling the fan 21 and heater according to the temperature and humidity of the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120, the drying effect can be improved, and the utensils can be protected.

[0046] According to the drying control method of the storage component 100 of the present invention, the storage component 100 has a first drying chamber 110 and a second drying chamber 120, which can separately store and dry different appliances. During drying, by detecting whether an appliance is placed in the drying chamber, and automatically controlling the operation of the fan 21 and the heater according to the temperature and humidity of the drying chamber, the drying operation of the drying chamber can be fully automated without the need for manual adjustment and control, bringing convenience to the user.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drying control method of the storage component 100 further includes: acquiring the humidity change value of the first drying chamber 110 and the humidity change value of the second drying chamber 120; determining that a first appliance is placed in the first drying chamber 110 when the humidity change value of the first drying chamber 110 is greater than a preset humidity threshold, or determining that a second appliance is placed in the second drying chamber 120 when the humidity change value of the second drying chamber 120 is greater than a preset humidity threshold. Specifically, under normal circumstances, after cleaning appliances, users will put the appliances into the storage component 100 for storage. When the cleaned appliances are placed in the drying chamber, the water on the appliances will cause a change in humidity in the drying chamber. Therefore, the humidity change value in the drying chamber can be compared with a preset temperature threshold to determine whether an appliance that needs to be dried has been placed in the drying chamber. Thus, it is possible to detect whether an appliance has been placed in the drying chamber. For example, when a user puts a dried appliance into the drying chamber, the drying function of the drying chamber may not be activated, and it may only be used for storage.

[0048] More specifically, the humidity change value can be the initial humidity value inside the drying chamber. After the user inserts the device into the drying chamber, the current humidity value after the device is inserted is obtained. The change value between the current humidity value and the initial humidity value is compared with the preset humidity value, thereby improving the accuracy of humidity change and reducing the impact of ambient humidity on the test results.

[0049] Optionally, the humidity value of the first drying chamber 110 can be obtained, and when the humidity value is greater than a preset humidity threshold, the first appliance can be placed in the first drying chamber 110. Similarly, the humidity value of the second drying chamber 120 can be obtained, and when the humidity value is greater than a preset humidity threshold, the second appliance can be placed in the second drying chamber 120. Specifically, after a cleaned knife or cutting board is placed in the drying chamber, the humidity in the drying chamber will rise. When the humidity in the drying chamber reaches a certain level, the drying function will automatically start.

[0050] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first heater 231 and the second heater 232 are controlled according to the temperatures of the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120, respectively. This includes: if the temperature of the first drying chamber 110 is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature threshold, then the first heater 231 is controlled to stop heating; if the temperature of the first drying chamber 110 is less than the first preset temperature threshold, then the first heater 231 is controlled to heat the air supplied by the fan 21. Therefore, the heating temperature of the first heater 231 can be controlled to remain at the first preset temperature threshold, achieving constant temperature heating of the first drying chamber 110, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, if the temperature of the second drying chamber 120 is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature threshold, the second heater 232 is controlled to stop heating; if the temperature of the second drying chamber 120 is less than the second preset temperature threshold, the second heater 232 is controlled to heat the air supplied by the fan 21. Similarly, by judging the relationship between the temperature in the second drying chamber 120 and the second preset temperature threshold, the operation of the second heater 232 can be controlled, which can also achieve constant temperature heating and constant temperature drying in the second drying chamber 120. Thus, it can be avoided that the temperature of the drying chamber is too high due to the continuous rise in temperature caused by the extended drying time when the heater is working; or that the heater cannot reach the ideal drying temperature when the drying time is short.

[0052] Specifically, see Figure 2 When the user places the first or second cleaned appliance into the corresponding drying chamber, the humidity inside the chamber will rise due to the appliance's moisture. Once it is confirmed that an appliance has been placed in the drying chamber and needs drying, a temperature control system for the heater is activated. This system compares the drying chamber temperature with a preset temperature threshold. If the drying chamber temperature is higher than the preset threshold, the temperature is too high, and the heater can be turned off. If the drying chamber temperature is lower than the threshold, the temperature has not reached the desired level, and the heater can be turned on. This cycle repeats during the drying process to maintain a constant drying temperature. When the humidity inside the drying chamber drops to a certain threshold, the drying function is shut off, meaning the fan and heater stop.

[0053] It should be noted that, Figure 2 The heater in the device includes a first heater and a second heater, and the drying chamber includes a first drying chamber and a second drying chamber. Depending on the appliance placed in the device, the fan, the first heater corresponding to the first drying chamber, or the second heater corresponding to the second drying chamber is activated.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first preset temperature threshold is greater than the second preset temperature threshold. Specifically, the first drying chamber 110 can be used to store knives, and the second drying chamber 120 can be used to store cutting boards. Since knives and cutting boards are made of different materials, their temperature tolerance also differs. Specifically, knives are typically made of metal, while cutting boards are typically made of wood or synthetic materials. The high-temperature resistance of cutting boards is lower than that of knives. Therefore, if the temperature used to dry knives is used to dry cutting boards, prolonged heating may damage the cutting boards. Therefore, if the first drying chamber 110 is used to store high-temperature resistant kitchen tools such as knives, and the second drying chamber 120 is used to store lower-temperature resistant kitchen tools such as cutting boards, the heating temperatures of the first heater 231 and the second heater 232 can be controlled separately during drying. This allows for better protection of the stored items. When the first drying chamber 110 is used to store knives, the first preset temperature threshold can be set between 70° and 80°. When the second drying chamber 120 is used to store cutting boards, the second preset temperature threshold can be set between 60° and 65°. For example, the first preset temperature threshold can be 75° and the second preset temperature threshold can be 65°.

[0055] Combination Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, controlling the fan 21 based on the humidity of the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 includes: if the humidity of the first drying chamber 110 is less than a preset humidity threshold and the humidity of the second drying chamber 120 is less than a preset humidity threshold, then controlling the fan 21 to stop blowing air and controlling the first heater 231 and the second heater 232 to stop heating. That is, when it is detected that the humidity of both the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 is less than the preset humidity threshold, it is determined that the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 have completed drying, thereby automatically controlling the fan 21 and the heaters to shut down, thus achieving automatic control of the drying operation. No user operation is required, bringing convenience to the user and contributing to energy saving and improved safety during use.

[0056] Specifically, when the storage component 100 has only one fan 21, the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 can share the fan 21. When the fan 21 is working, it can simultaneously supply air to the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 to improve drying efficiency, simplify the structure, and save energy. Therefore, when the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 share one fan 21, stopping the fan 21 when the humidity value of both chambers is lower than the preset humidity value can ensure that both chambers achieve the expected drying effect.

[0057] Optionally, the storage assembly 100 may also be equipped with two fans 21. The first fan 21 is used to supply air to the first drying chamber 110, and the second fan 21 is used to supply air to the second drying chamber 120. The operation of the first fan 21 and the second fan 21 can be controlled according to the humidity in the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120, respectively. That is, if the humidity in the first drying chamber 110 is less than a preset humidity threshold, the first fan 21 is controlled to stop supplying air, and the first heater 231 is controlled to stop heating. If the humidity in the second drying chamber 120 is less than a preset humidity threshold, the second fan 21 is controlled to stop supplying air, and the second heater 232 is controlled to stop heating.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drying control method of the storage component 100 further includes: acquiring the weight change value of the first drying chamber 110 and the weight change value of the second drying chamber 120; determining that a first appliance is placed in the first drying chamber 110 when the weight change value of the first drying chamber 110 is greater than a preset weight threshold; and determining that a second appliance is placed in the second drying chamber 120 when the weight change value of the second drying chamber 120 is greater than the preset weight threshold. That is, whether an appliance is placed in the drying chamber can be determined by acquiring the weight change within the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120, thereby determining whether the appliance needs to be dried. Specifically, this can involve acquiring the weight change value of the drying chamber, determining that the appliance has been placed in the drying chamber when the weight change value of the drying chamber is greater than the preset weight threshold, and then acquiring the humidity change within the drying chamber to control the operation of the fan 21, and acquiring the temperature within the drying chamber to control the operation of the heater. The preset weight threshold can be set according to the weight of the first appliance and the second appliance within the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 to improve the accuracy and reliability of information acquisition or judgment.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drying control method of the storage component 100 further includes: acquiring a preset drying temperature and a preset drying time; controlling the operation of the fan 21, the first heater 231, and the second heater 232 according to the preset drying temperature and the preset drying time, which can also realize the automatic opening and closing of the drying mode. Specifically, the storage component 100 may have a preset drying mode. When the weight change value of the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 is greater than a preset weight threshold, the fan 21 and the first heater 231 or the second heater 232 are directly turned on according to the preset mode to realize the conventional drying mode or storage mode of the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120. In this conventional drying mode or storage mode, the fan 21 and the first heater 231 or the second heater 232 can automatically run and then automatically stop at a preset time and temperature to realize the drying and storage of the appliance. The user can select a suitable drying control method according to the actual use needs to realize the automatic drying of the appliance.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium stores a drying control program for a storage component 100. When the drying control program for the storage component 100 is executed by a processor, the drying control method for the storage component 100 is implemented, which can realize automatic drying operation of the drying chamber without the need for manual adjustment and control, thus bringing convenience to the user.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a drying control device for a storage component 100 includes a fan 21, a first drying chamber 110, a first heater 231 corresponding to the first drying chamber 110, a second drying chamber 120, and a second heater 232 corresponding to the second drying chamber 120. The device includes: a detection module for controlling the fan 21 to send air to the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 respectively when a first appliance is detected to be placed in the first drying chamber 110 and / or a second appliance is detected to be placed in the second drying chamber 120; an acquisition module for acquiring the temperature and humidity of the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120; and a control module for controlling the first heater 231 and the second heater 232 according to the temperature of the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 respectively, and controlling the fan 21 according to the humidity of the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120. By setting up a detection module, an acquisition module, and a control module, it is possible to detect whether the appliance is placed in the drying chamber. The acquisition module obtains data on the temperature and humidity inside the drying chamber. Based on the data from the acquisition module, the control module can automatically adjust the fan 21 and the heater, thereby realizing the fully automatic drying operation of the drying chamber without the need for manual adjustment and control, bringing convenience to users.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the storage component 100 includes the aforementioned drying control device for the storage component 100. The storage component 100 has a first drying chamber 110 and a second drying chamber 120, which can separately store and dry different utensils, which helps to protect the stored utensils and improve the drying effect.

[0063] Combination Figure 3In some embodiments of the present invention, the receiving component 100 includes a diversion device 22, which includes a first flow channel 210 and a second flow channel 220. The first flow channel 210 is connected to a fan 21 and a first drying chamber 110, and the second flow channel 220 is connected to a fan 21 and a second drying chamber 120. Specifically, the diversion device 22 can be used to connect the drying chamber and the fan 21, so that the airflow can be diverted by the diversion device 22 and enter the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 respectively. The first flow channel 210 connects the fan 21 and the first drying chamber 110, and can guide the airflow generated by the fan 21 into the first drying chamber 110. The second flow channel 220 connects the fan 21 and the second drying chamber 120, and can guide the airflow generated by the fan 21 into the second drying chamber 120. In this way, the air outlet of the fan 21 can flow into the first flow channel 210 and the second flow channel 220 at the same time, which can realize simultaneous drying of the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120, which is beneficial to improving drying efficiency and shortening drying time.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 are distributed along a first direction, and the fan 21 is disposed between the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120. This fully utilizes the space between the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120, and makes full use of the space in the first direction, thereby reducing the size of the storage assembly 100 in other directions and improving the structural compactness of the storage assembly 100. Furthermore, the first flow channel 210 is configured to gradually slope from the outlet of the fan 21 toward the first drying chamber 110 to guide airflow into the first drying chamber 110, thereby improving the drying effect on the first drying chamber 110; the second flow channel 220 is configured to gradually slope from the outlet of the fan 21 toward the second drying chamber 120 to guide airflow into the second drying chamber 120, thereby improving the drying effect on the second drying chamber 120, and also helping to reduce energy loss and improve the working efficiency of the drying module.

[0065] For example, the washing equipment 1000 has a rectangular or square water tank 200. The first direction can be the extension direction of the length of the water tank 200. In this way, the storage component 100 arranged along the first direction can make full use of the space in the length direction of the water tank 200, thereby reducing the size of the storage component 100 in the thickness direction of the water tank 200 to improve the structural compactness.

[0066] Optionally, combined Figure 1 The first direction can be the left-right direction or the length direction of the washing equipment (1000).

[0067] More specifically, the first heater 231 can be disposed within the first flow channel 210, for example, at the inlet of the first flow channel 210, to heat the airflow when it enters the first flow channel 210. Alternatively, it can be disposed within the first flow channel 210, meaning the airflow is heated during its flow within the first flow channel 210. The second heater 232 can be disposed within the second flow channel 220, for example, at the inlet of the second flow channel 220, to heat the airflow when it enters the second flow channel 220. Alternatively, it can be disposed within the second flow channel 220, meaning the airflow is heated during its flow within the second flow channel 220.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the storage assembly 100, a first heater 231 and a second heater 232 are respectively located at the outlet of the first flow channel 210 and the outlet of the second flow channel 220. Thus, airflow can enter the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 after being heated by the heaters, reducing heat loss. Furthermore, the first heater 231 and the second heater 232 are located at the flow channel outlets, allowing the condition of the heaters to be observed when the air inlet of the drying chamber is separated from the flow channel outlet in case of a problem, facilitating maintenance.

[0069] Specifically, by setting the first heater 231 and the second heater 232 respectively, the drying temperature of the first drying chamber 110 and the drying temperature of the second drying chamber 120 can be controlled respectively, thereby achieving cleaning and drying effects while better protecting the items in the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120.

[0070] Optionally, both the first heater 231 and the second heater 232 can be equipped with a temperature controller. The temperature controller is connected to the heater and plays the role of overheat protection, which can improve the safety of the device during use and prevent safety problems caused by the inability to dissipate heat in time after the fan 21 fails.

[0071] More specifically, the storage assembly 100 may be equipped with a first temperature controller 241 and a second temperature controller 242. The first temperature controller 241 is connected to the first heater 231, and the second temperature controller 242 is connected to the second heater 232, thereby enabling overheat protection for each heater. In conjunction with the foregoing, when different drying temperatures are required for the two drying chambers, this can also be achieved by setting temperature controllers with different protection temperatures. For example, the overheat protection temperature of the second temperature controller 242 could be the same as the overheat protection temperature of the first temperature controller 241. During heating, when the temperature of the second heater 232 rises to a preset value, the second temperature controller 242 controls the second heater 232 to stop heating further, thereby controlling the temperature within the second drying chamber 120 within a predetermined range.

[0072] Optionally, the heater may be a PTC heating element.

[0073] Combination Figure 5In some embodiments of the present invention, the storage component 100 further includes a housing 30, and the storage module and the drying module are disposed inside the housing 30, which can improve the overall structural consistency and aesthetics.

[0074] Combination Figure 4 According to other embodiments of the present invention, the storage assembly may also include a fan 21 and a heater 23. The heater 23 is located at the outlet of the fan 21 and is connected to a diversion device 22 to heat the air outlet of the fan 21 and send it into the diversion device 22. The diversion device 22 is provided with a stop 221, which is opposite to the outlet of the fan 21 and can stop the air outlet of the fan 21, causing the airflow to be diverted to the first drying chamber 110 and the second drying chamber 120 respectively. The heater 23 may be connected to a temperature controller 24 to improve operational safety.

[0075] Combination Figure 5 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a washing device 1000 includes a water tank 200 and the aforementioned storage component 100. The storage component 100 is disposed on the water tank 200. By setting the storage component 100 above the water tank 200, the washing and storage functions can be realized simultaneously. Furthermore, the storage area and the washing area are set separately, which facilitates storage after washing and avoids secondary pollution of the stored items during the washing process.

[0076] The washing equipment 1000 may also include a dishwasher 300, which is arranged below the sink 200. This allows for the use of the space below the sink 200, improving space utilization and enhancing the integration of kitchen appliances.
