The light energy in the environment may be realized by light energy collection technology, such as solar cells, photochemical cells, photothermal conversion technology, etc., by collecting sunlight, etc. to supplement the power demand. In order to reduce the loss of energy transmission, the second receiving unit 133 may be physically connected to the light energy collection unit 132; and adapted to the structural configuration of the drying rod assembly 1, the light energy collection unit 132 may also be wirelessly connected to the second receiving unit 133.

[0045] Combine the following Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The intelligent clothes drying machine provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail.

[0046] The intelligent clothes drying machine provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the clothes drying rod assembly 1 provided in the above embodiment and a host 2 connected to the clothes drying rod assembly 1. Figure 3 As shown, the clothes drying rod assembly 1 is configured with a wireless power supply structure, which can avoid power supply between the host 2 and the clothes drying rod assembly 1 through wired means, and avoid the configuration of wires affecting the overall aesthetics of the smart clothes drying machine.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 5 As shown, the host 2 is configured with a transmitter 21 and a power supply 22 (such as Figure 4 The power supply 22 is connected to the transmitter 21 to supply power to the transmitter 21, and the transmitter 21 is used to convert electrical energy into wirelessly transmittable energy and transmit it to the converter 13. Optionally, the energy output port of the transmitter 21 is externally arranged on the host 2, such as being arranged as a whole on the side of the host 2, or being arranged at the bottom of the host 2, so as to transmit energy to the converter 13 by wireless transmission. Accordingly, the energy receiving port of the converter 13 can be arranged opposite to the energy output port of the transmitter 21 to better receive energy. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the transmitter 21 can be arranged on the side of the host 2, and the converter 13 can be arranged at a position in the drying rod assembly 1 that is connected to the scissors frame (also called a fixed frame) and the wire rope.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4 As shown, the host 2 is also configured with a main controller 23 connected to the transmitter 21 and the power supply 22, which is used to control the transmitter 21 to operate. It can be understood that the main controller 23 and the control unit 121 on the drying rod assembly 1 are independent of each other, and the control unit 121 can communicate with the main controller 23 through the WIFI unit wirelessly, receive the control instructions issued by the main controller 23, and control the corresponding functional unit 122 to operate.

[0049] In the disclosed embodiment, after the smart clothes drying machine is powered on, components related to wireless power supply in the clothes drying rod assembly 1 will start to work, providing power energy for various smart devices (such as electrical appliances 12) on the clothes drying rod 11.

[0050] Another electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is described below.

[0051] The electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include a transmitter for converting the received electrical energy into wirelessly transmittable energy and transmitting the energy to the converter 13 of the drying rod assembly 1 provided in the above embodiment.

[0052] Exemplarily, the electronic device can be a device independent of the clothes-drying rod assembly 1. Assuming that the clothes-drying rod assembly 1 is installed on the living balcony, the electronic device can also be installed in the space of the living balcony, and wireless transmission can be used to power the operation of the clothes-drying rod assembly 1.

[0053] Optionally, the electric energy received by the electronic device may be converted from the mains, or may be energy collected and converted by a light energy collector configured by the electronic device (such as a fan that provides electric energy using light pressure difference technology).

[0054] The following is an example of how a transmitter in an intelligent clothes drying machine or electronic device cooperates with the converter 13 in the clothes drying rod assembly 1.

[0055] Example 1: The transmitter in the smart clothes drying machine or electronic device is a laser transmitter, and the converter 13 in the drying rod assembly 1 is a laser receiver. Exemplarily, the laser transmitter converts electrical energy into light energy, concentrates the light energy into a beam, and transmits it to the laser receiver in the form of a laser to reduce light energy loss and improve energy transmission efficiency. The laser receiver converts the light energy received by the laser into electrical energy. In the use scenario of the smart clothes drying machine, the smart clothes drying machine is powered on (mains power 220V), the switching power supply can convert the mains power into 32V DC, and the 32V DC is provided to the laser transmitter. The laser transmitter converts the DC into a laser beam through photoelectric conversion and transmits it to the laser receiver. Optionally, the laser can be visible light. To avoid the transmission of visible light affecting the user's use of other functions, the user can control the closing and opening of the laser transmitter by sending instructions to achieve control of the laser power supply. Optionally, wireless transmission of energy can also be performed in the form of invisible light.

[0056] Example 2: The transmitter in the smart clothes drying machine or electronic device is a microwave transmitter, and the converter 13 in the clothes drying rod assembly 1 is a microwave receiver. Exemplarily, the microwave transmitter is used to convert electrical energy into microwaves, and send the microwaves to the microwave receiver, so that the microwave receiver converts the received microwaves into electrical energy.

[0057] In the disclosed embodiment, laser or invisible light can be used for energy transmission. Laser and invisible light (such as infrared light) have the characteristics of good directionality, energy concentration, and long transmission distance in energy transmission. Specifically, electrical energy can be converted into laser or invisible light, and then sent to the converter 13 through a specific transmission medium (such as optical fiber or air), and then the received light energy is converted back into electrical energy for use by the converter 13. Optionally, microwaves can also be used for energy transmission. Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with a wavelength between radio waves and infrared rays. Energy transmission using microwaves usually involves a microwave transmitter and a microwave receiver. The microwave transmitter converts electrical energy into microwaves, and then sends the microwaves to the microwave receiver through air or other media, and the microwave receiver converts the received microwaves back into electrical energy for use.

[0058] The above description is only a partial implementation method of the present disclosure. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the technical concept of the scheme of the present disclosure, other similar implementation means based on the technical concept of the present disclosure are also within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
