[0039] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings in the present application. It should be understood that the implementation methods described below in conjunction with the drawings are exemplary descriptions for explaining the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.

[0040] This embodiment provides a drying control system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drying control system includes a controller and a communication module, a photosensitive module and a hanger swing module connected to the controller.

[0041] The communication module is arranged on the main unit of the clothes drying machine, and is used to obtain weather information of the location of the clothes drying machine and feed it back to the controller. The photosensitive module is installed on the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine, and is used to obtain light intensity information and feed it back to the controller. The controller is used to determine the angle of the hanger on the hanger swing module according to the received weather information and / or light intensity information, and drive the hanger swing module to adjust its hanger to the angle. The hanger swing module is arranged on the clothes drying rod, and a hanger is installed on it, and is used to adjust the angle of the hanger on it under the control of the controller.

[0042] See also Figure 2-3 The clothes drying machine is provided with a clothes hanger swing module for adjusting the angle of the clothes hanger. The clothes hanger swing module includes a motor and a swing component, the swing component is arranged on the motor output shaft, the controller is connected to the motor through a motor driving module, and is used to drive the motor to rotate a predetermined angle to drive the swing component to move, and under the control of the controller, the motor rotates a predetermined angle to drive the swing component to move, and the clothes hanger is arranged on the swing component, and swings under the drive of the swing component to adjust the angle, so as to achieve different drying angles.

[0043] Wherein, the swing assembly includes a driving swing arm and a swing arm connecting rod, and the motor, the driving swing arm and the swing arm connecting rod are connected in sequence.

[0044] The drying rod is provided with a positioning shaft, the rear end of the clothes hanger hanging part is provided with a fixing groove, the clothes hanger is provided with a hanging part, and the rear end of the clothes hanger hanging part is rotatably clamped in the fixing groove through the positioning shaft. Generally, the positioning shafts on the drying rod are arranged at equal distances to meet the drying distance of the clothes on the clothes hanger.

[0045] The hanger is provided with a hanging part, and the hanger is arranged on the swing assembly through the hanging part. When the swing assembly moves, the position where the hanger contacts the swing assembly through the hanging part is displaced to complete the angle adjustment of the hanger. Specifically, the swing arm connecting rod is provided with a plurality of openings for inserting the front end rotating shaft of the hanger hanging part, and the front end rotating shaft of each hanger hanging part is rotatably clamped in an opening. The position of the opening on the swing arm connecting rod corresponds to the position of the positioning shaft on the clothes drying rod. When the swing arm connecting rod is not swung and is located in the initial position, the angle of the hanger should be perpendicular to the length direction of the clothes drying rod, and the direction of the line between the positioning shaft and the position of the opening of the same hanger is perpendicular to the length direction of the clothes drying rod.

[0046] The principle of adjusting the angle of the hanger through the hanger swing module is: drive the motor to rotate a predetermined angle to drive the swing assembly to move, and drive the position where the hanger's hanging part is connected to the swing assembly to displace, so as to complete the angle adjustment. Specifically, when the hanger swing module is driven to work, the motor drives the driving swing arm to perform circular motion around the motor's rotating shaft. When the driving swing arm rotates, it will bring lateral pulling force to the swing arm connecting rod, and the opening where the front end rotating shaft of the hanger's hanging part is inserted will be displaced. The swing arm connecting rod is forced to drive the front end rotating shaft of the hanger's hanging part to rotate in a circle, and the rear end of the hanger's hanging part rotates around the positioning shaft through the positioning groove, so that the hanger will swing with the motor and the angle of the hanger will change.

[0047] One or more groups of hanger swing modules can be arranged on each of the clothes drying rods. The motors in more than one group of hanger swing modules can rotate to corresponding angles respectively under the drive of the controller, so that the corresponding hangers can rotate to different angles.

[0048] In a possible implementation, a group of the hanger swing modules is provided on each of the clothes-drying rods, and the clothes hangers on the clothes-drying rod rotate at the same angle.

[0049] In one possible implementation, two groups of hanger swing modules are provided on each of the clothes drying rods, and the controller is connected to the motors in the two groups of hanger swing modules respectively through the motor drive module, and the motors in the two groups of hanger swing modules respectively rotate to corresponding angles under the drive of the controller; the two groups of hangers arranged at intervals are each connected to the swinging components in one group of hanger swing modules, and the angles can be adjusted at different angles under the drive of the motors in the corresponding hanger swing modules. This structural setting can be applied to more diverse drying scenarios to avoid the hangers on a clothes drying rod being fixed to only the same angle.

[0050] In this embodiment, the controller can know the current drying conditions through the weather information obtained by the communication module and the light intensity information obtained by the photosensitive module, and can automatically drive the hanger swing module to adjust the hanger to a suitable angle under different drying conditions.

[0051] For example, when the probability of rainfall is small and the light intensity is high according to the weather information, it can be determined to be a sunny day. It is known that sunlight tracking can be used for drying clothes on sunny days, and the drying angle of clothes can be related to the optimal light intensity angle of sunlight tracking drying; when the probability of rainfall is small but the light intensity is low according to the weather information, it can be determined to be a cloudy day. It is known that clothes are not easy to dry on cloudy days, and the air-drying function of the clothes drying machine is needed. The clothes hanger swing module can be driven to adjust the clothes hanger to swing continuously to accelerate the airflow; when the air humidity is high according to the weather information, it can be determined to be a rainy day or the return of south wind. It is known that clothes cannot be dried naturally on rainy days or the return of south wind, and the drying function of the clothes drying machine is needed. Driving the clothes hanger swing module to adjust the clothes to form an enclosed space can reduce the loss of warm air.

[0052] The drying control system provided by the utility model can adjust the drying angle of clothes by setting a clothes hanger swing module. The detected weather information and / or light intensity information is fed back to the controller, and the clothes hanger swing module for adjusting the clothes hanger angle can be driven under the control of the controller to adjust the clothes hanger to a suitable angle, and the clothes drying angle can be automatically adjusted according to the drying conditions, which significantly improves the clothes drying effect and the user's drying experience.

[0053] In some embodiments, the photosensitive module can be used to obtain light intensity information at different angles and feed it back to the controller, and the controller can determine the angle with the maximum light intensity as the optimal light intensity angle. When the clothes drying machine starts to chase the sun for drying, the controller is used to determine the angle of the hanger on the hanger swing module according to the optimal light intensity, and drive the hanger swing module to adjust its hanger to this angle.

[0054] In one possible implementation, Figure 1 As shown, the photosensitive module is installed in the middle of the clothes drying rod on the side of the clothes drying machine facing the lighting surface. The photosensitive module includes a plurality of detection holes arranged laterally, and each detection hole has a different orientation on the same horizontal plane, so as to collect light intensity information at different angles and feed it back to the controller. The controller can determine the angle with the maximum light intensity as the optimal light intensity angle, and determine the angle of the hanger on the hanger swing module according to the optimal light intensity angle, and drive the hanger swing module to adjust its hanger to this angle.

[0055] In one possible implementation, Figure 1 The photosensitive module in can be replaced by Figure 4The swingable photosensitive module shown. The photosensitive module includes a swing motor, and the photosensitive module is swingably mounted on the clothes drying rod through the swing motor; the controller is connected to the swing motor through a motor driving module, and is used to drive the swing motor to rotate so as to drive the photosensitive module to swing; the photosensitive module is used to obtain light intensity information at different angles under the control of the controller and feed it back to the controller, from which the controller can determine the angle with the maximum light intensity as the optimal light intensity angle, and determine the angle of the hanger on the hanger swing module according to the optimal light intensity angle, and drive the hanger swing module to adjust its hanger to the angle.

[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, the drying control system may also include an image acquisition module connected to the controller; the image acquisition module is installed on the main unit of the clothes drying machine, and is used to capture images of clothes on the clothes drying rod and identify the number of clothes, and feed the identified number of clothes back to the controller.

[0057] The drying control system may further include a distance measuring module connected to the controller; the distance measuring module is installed on the drying rod and is used to measure the distance between clothes drying on the drying rod, and the distance between clothes drying is fed back to the controller.

[0058] If the number of clothes is greater than a predetermined value, it means that there are a large number of clothes on the clothes drying rod. If the clothes drying spacing is less than or equal to a predetermined distance value, it means that the clothes on the clothes drying rod are densely dried. In this application scenario, the area of ​​each piece of clothing on the clothes drying rod that receives direct sunlight when facing the lighting surface is small. In this scenario, the hanger swing module can be driven to adjust the angle of its hanger to be parallel to the optimal light intensity angle. In this way, there are a large number of clothes on the clothes drying rod and they are densely dried. By driving the hanger swing module to adjust the angle of its hanger to be parallel to the optimal light intensity angle, the side of the clothes facing the lighting surface and the front and back of the clothes can be within the illumination range through direct light and diffuse reflection, which effectively improves the clothes drying effect in scenarios where clothes are not easily exposed to light.

[0059] If the number of clothes is less than or equal to a predetermined value, it means that the number of clothes on the clothes drying rod is small. If the clothes drying spacing is greater than a predetermined distance value, it means that the clothes drying on the clothes drying rod is relatively scattered. In this application scenario, each piece of clothing on the clothes drying rod receives more direct sunlight when facing the light-collecting surface. In this scenario, the hanger swing module can be driven to adjust the angle of its hanger to be perpendicular to the optimal light intensity angle. In this way, the number of clothes on the clothes drying rod is small and the clothes drying is relatively scattered. By driving the hanger swing module to adjust the angle of its hanger to be perpendicular to the optimal light intensity angle, one side of the clothes can face direct sunlight, and the clothes swing module can be driven periodically to adjust the angle of the hanger again so that the other side of the clothes faces direct sunlight. The clothes can be exposed to direct sunlight over a large area, which can increase the clothes drying rate, and effectively improve the clothes drying efficiency in scenarios where there is enough space for the clothes to receive direct light.

[0060] The drying control system may also include a clothing moisture detection module connected to the controller; the clothing moisture detection module is installed on the drying rod or the clothes hanger, and is used to monitor the clothing moisture of the clothing on the drying rod and feed back the clothing moisture to the controller, and the controller can determine the degree of dryness of the clothing.

[0061] The drying control system may also include a clothing weight detection module connected to the controller; the clothing weight detection module is installed on the drying rod, and is used to detect the weight of the clothing on the drying rod, and feed the clothing weight back to the controller, and the controller can determine the degree of dryness of the clothing.

[0062] The drying control system further comprises an air-drying module connected to the controller; the air-drying module is arranged on the main unit of the clothes drying machine and is used to deliver normal temperature wind under the control of the controller. The air-drying module comprises a fan.

[0063] During the startup of the air-drying module, the motor of the clothing swing module can be driven to rotate back and forth within a predetermined angle range at the same time, so as to swing the swing component left and right and drive the clothes on the hanger to swing back and forth. By swinging the clothes on the hanger, the air flow around the clothes is further driven, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of drying clothes. By swinging the clothes, overlapping of clothes can be avoided, such as overlapping of cloth under the armpits resulting in incomplete drying, thereby significantly improving the effect of drying clothes.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, the drying control system further comprises a drying module connected to the controller; the drying module is arranged on the main unit of the clothes drying machine and is used to deliver warm air under the control of the controller. The drying module comprises a heating unit and a fan.

[0065] During the start-up of the drying module, the hanger swing modules can be driven at the same time to adjust the angles of the hangers until one end of the main body of the adjacent hangers abuts against each other, so that the clothes on all the hangers form an enclosed space. Specifically, for the clothes drying machine that can achieve drying and airing, two groups of hanger swing modules are arranged on each of the clothes drying rods, and the motors in the two groups of hanger swing modules rotate to corresponding angles respectively under the drive of the controller; the two groups of hangers arranged at intervals are respectively connected to the swing components in one group of hanger swing modules, and the angles are adjusted under the drive of the motors in the corresponding hanger swing modules, and the adjusted angles can be different. During the start-up of the drying module, the motors of the two groups of clothes swing modules are driven at the same time to rotate at a predetermined angle to drive the two groups of swing components to move in opposite directions respectively, so that the main bodies of the adjacent hangers abut against each other, and the clothes on all the hangers on the two clothes drying rods form an enclosed space, and the effect of drying clothes can be achieved without the help of other objects, reducing the heat loss caused by warm air, and significantly improving the clothes drying efficiency.

[0066] In addition, according to another aspect, an embodiment of the utility model provides a clothes drying machine, comprising the drying control system described in any of the above embodiments. The structure and functions of the clothes drying machine are specifically described in the system embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0067] The clothes drying machine provided by the utility model can adjust the drying angle of clothes by setting a clothes hanger swing module. The detected weather information and / or light intensity information is fed back to the controller, and the clothes hanger swing module for adjusting the clothes hanger angle can be driven under the control of the controller to adjust the clothes hanger to a suitable angle, and the clothes drying angle can be automatically adjusted according to the drying conditions, which significantly improves the clothes drying effect and the user's drying experience.

[0068] The above is only an optional implementation method for some implementation scenarios of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the technical concept of the solution of the present application, other similar implementation methods based on the technical ideas of the present application are also within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.
