Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drying control, and in particular to a clothes drying machine control system and a clothes drying machine. Background Art

[0002] Electric clothes drying machines are becoming more and more popular because they can be automatically raised and lowered, and integrate lighting, drying, sterilization and disinfection functions. They have become an indispensable part of smart home products. Electric clothes drying machines generally consist of two parts: a main unit and a drying rod assembly. The main unit is generally installed on the ceiling, and the drying rod assembly is installed under the main unit through a wire rope or other lifting parts, and can be raised and lowered relative to the main unit.

[0003] With the development of technology, the level of intelligence of clothes drying machines is getting higher and higher. In order to make the functions of clothes drying machines more diversified, some manufacturers set visual recognition modules, such as cameras, on the main machine of clothes drying machines. Through the visual recognition module, the image and video information around the clothes drying machine, such as the user's facial information, gesture information, etc., is recognized to trigger the clothes drying machine to perform corresponding functions, including the rise / fall / stop of the clothes drying machine, the lighting on / off, the drying function on / off, the sterilization function on / off, and even the detection of the user's height. Although the setting of visual recognition makes the control of the clothes drying machine more intelligent, after the clothes drying machine is used to dry clothes, the drying rod needs to rise to the drying position, which is usually close to the main machine or directly at the upper limit of the drying rod. At this time, the clothes on the drying rod are likely to block the visual recognition module, making it impossible for the visual recognition module to collect and recognize the image and video information around the clothes drying machine, thereby affecting the control of the clothes drying machine.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages and effects:

[0023] (1) The control system of the clothes drying machine of the utility model comprises a main controller, a visual recognition module and a human body detection unit; wherein the visual recognition module is connected to the main controller and performs image acquisition work of the drying sensing area under the control of the main controller, and the human body detection unit is connected to the main controller and is used to detect human body information in the drying sensing area; the main controller is connected to the drying rod assembly through a power system, and controls the drying rod assembly to move to a preset position when human body information is detected in the drying sensing area, so that the visual recognition module can acquire the image of the drying sensing area; the control system of the utility model makes it possible for the drying rod assembly to be lowered to a preset position before the clothes drying machine is controlled when someone enters the drying sensing area, and at the preset position, the visual recognition module on the main machine can normally acquire the image information of the drying sensing area.

[0026] (4) In the control system of the clothes drying machine of the present invention, the visual recognition module is installed on the side of the clothes drying machine main body at an inclination angle of 10° to 85°, which can be adjusted according to the range of the drying sensing area.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of the control system of the utility model clothes drying machine.

[0029] Figure 2a and Figure 2b It is a schematic diagram of the installation of the visual recognition module in the control system of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] 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.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Currently, when a visual recognition module such as a camera is set on the main body of the clothes drying machine, if there are clothes hanging on the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine, the visual recognition module is usually blocked, so that the visual recognition module cannot work normally and the recognition rate is reduced.

[0033] Based on the problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a clothes drying machine control system, which is applied to a clothes drying machine with a visual recognition module installed on the main unit, and can effectively prevent the visual recognition module from being blocked when clothes are hung on the clothesline.

[0034] like Figure 2a and 2b As shown, the clothes drying machine referred to in this embodiment generally includes a host and a drying rod assembly. The host is generally installed on the ceiling. The drying rod assembly is arranged below the host through a wire rope or other lifting parts. The drying rod assembly generally includes one or more clothes drying rods for drying clothes, one or more quilt drying rods for drying bedding, and one or more cross bars for drying small items (underwear, socks, towels, etc.). The host is provided with components such as a main controller and a power system. The power system of the clothes drying machine may include a motor, a winding wheel, a pulley assembly, a wire rope, etc. The main controller is connected to the motor through a motor driver to control the rotation of the motor. The winding wheel is connected to the motor output shaft in a transmission manner. One end of the wire rope is arranged on the winding wheel, and the other end passes through the pulley in the pulley assembly and changes direction (changes the horizontal direction to the vertical direction) and is fixedly connected to the drying rod assembly below the host. The winding wheel is driven by the motor to rotate so as to be able to retract and release the wire rope, thereby driving the drying rod assembly on the wire rope to rise or fall. In addition, the clothes drying machine may also be equipped with functional modules such as lighting, drying, and disinfection. The main controller can issue instructions to control each functional template.

[0035] like Figure 1 In this embodiment, the clothes drying machine control system includes a main controller, a visual recognition module and a human detection unit, wherein the main controller can be a controller originally set on the main control board of the clothes drying machine host, or it can be an additional controller. If it is the latter, the main controller needs to be connected to the controller on the main control board of the host.

[0036] In this embodiment, the human body detection unit is connected to the main controller and is used to detect human body information in the drying sensing area of ​​the clothes drying machine; in this embodiment, the human body detection unit can use a PIR sensor (infrared human body sensor), and can also use other sensors that can identify the human body, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0037] In this embodiment, the visual recognition module is connected to the main controller, and performs image acquisition of the drying sensing area under the control of the main controller; in this embodiment, the visual recognition module can use a camera, specifically a binocular camera, which includes a first camera and a second camera, and collects left image information and right image information through the first camera and the second camera respectively, including face information, gesture information, etc. In this embodiment, the visual recognition module and the human body detection unit can be set in the same housing, and the housing is tilted and installed on the side panel of the main body of the clothes drying machine, based on which the control system structure can be simpler.

[0038] In this embodiment, the main controller is connected to the clothes drying rod assembly of the clothes drying machine through the power system of the clothes drying machine, and is used to control the clothes drying rod assembly to run to a preset position when human body information is detected in the drying sensing area, so that the visual recognition module can collect the image information of the drying sensing area. Specifically: the main controller obtains the information detected by the human body detection unit, and when it is determined that someone has entered the drying sensing area according to the information detected by the human body detection unit, the clothes drying rod assembly is controlled to run to a preset position, so that the visual recognition module can collect the image information of the drying sensing area; the above-mentioned preset position is the position where the clothes drying rod assembly is a fixed distance away from the upper limit of the clothes drying machine. When the clothes drying rod assembly is in this position, the visual recognition module can collect the image information of the drying sensing area, so that the main controller can further realize the corresponding control of the clothes drying machine based on the facial information extracted from the image information, gestures, etc., including the control based on the facial information The user identity is identified, and the clothes drying rod assembly is lowered to the corresponding height according to the user identity. The clothes drying machine is also controlled based on gesture actions. For example, the clothes drying rod rising function is configured for the first gesture action "stretch out your palm" in advance, and the clothes drying rod lowering function is configured for the second gesture action "stand up one pole" in advance. The clothes drying machine lighting turning on function is configured for the third gesture action "make a fist", and the clothes drying machine lighting turning off function is configured for the fourth gesture action "OK gesture", and the clothes drying machine disinfection turning on function is configured for the fifth gesture action, and the clothes drying machine disinfection turning off function is configured for the sixth gesture action, and so on. Then, the corresponding control is started after the gesture action is identified.

[0039] The control system of the clothes dryer in this embodiment allows the drying rod assembly to be lowered to a preset position before the clothes dryer is controlled when someone enters the drying sensing area. At the preset position, the visual recognition module on the host can normally collect image information of the drying sensing area, thereby avoiding the problem that the visual recognition module on the clothes dryer host, such as the camera, is blocked by clothing and cannot perform normal image collection work, thereby effectively improving the recognition rate of the visual recognition module.

[0040] In this embodiment, the visual recognition module 1 is generally installed obliquely on the side panel of the clothes drying machine host. For a rectangular clothes drying machine host, the visual recognition module is generally installed in the middle of the long side of the host, such as Figure 2a In another embodiment, a visual recognition module may be provided on each of the two short sides of the host, such as Figure 2b As shown, the specific adaptive settings can be made according to the actual installation and use environment, and this embodiment does not make any relevant limitations.

[0041] In this embodiment, the visual recognition module installation inclination angle can be set to 10°~85°. The inclination angle refers to the angle between the central axis of the visual recognition module and the plumb line, which can be adjusted according to the range of the drying sensing area. In this embodiment, when the visual recognition module is preferably 25°~35°, the preset position is set to 15cm~25cm from the upper limit of the clothes drying machine to the pole assembly. The upper limit of the clothes drying machine refers to the highest position that the pole assembly can run to. When the visual recognition module is installed at an inclination angle of 30 degrees or about 30 degrees, the preset position is selected as the position where the pole assembly is 18cm or about 18cm away from the upper limit of the clothes drying machine. Based on this, the visual recognition module can better capture the image of the drying sensing area to avoid the obstruction of the clothes drying on the pole assembly.

[0042] This embodiment also includes a wireless communication unit, and the main controller can be connected to an external terminal through the wireless communication unit. Based on this, the main controller can receive a control instruction sent by the external terminal to move the drying rod assembly to a preset position. The above-mentioned external terminal can be a mobile phone, IPAD, computer, remote control, etc. The user can directly send a corresponding control instruction to the main controller based on the external terminal to control the drying rod assembly to run to a preset position through the main controller, for example, in some special control requirements: such as when the human body detection unit fails and cannot detect human body information; or, the clothes drying machine needs to be unmanned controlled, for example, when the visual recognition module triggers the corresponding control by identifying the status of other devices such as a washing machine, the drying rod assembly can be directly controlled to run to a preset position through the appearance terminal remotely.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] The present embodiment discloses a clothes drying machine control system. The present embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in that it further comprises a clothes detection unit, through which it is possible to detect whether there are clothes drying on the clothes drying machine.

[0045] In this embodiment, the clothing detection unit can be arranged on the clothes drying rod assembly or the main unit. The clothing detection unit is connected to the main controller and is used to detect clothing information on the clothes drying rod assembly of the clothes drying machine, so that when the main controller detects human body information in the drying sensing area and clothing information is detected on the clothes drying rod assembly, it controls the clothes drying rod assembly to run to a preset position.

[0046] In this embodiment, the clothing detection unit can also be set in the preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly, and the clothing detection unit is connected to the main controller, and is used to detect clothing information on the preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly of the clothes drying machine, so that the main controller controls the drying rod assembly to run to the preset position when the human body information is detected in the drying sensing area and the clothing information is detected in the preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly. The above-mentioned preset area refers to: the area on the drying rod assembly that affects the visual recognition module to collect the image of the drying sensing area after the clothes are dried, that is, when the clothes are dried in the preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly, the visual recognition module will be blocked, so that the visual recognition module cannot collect the image of the drying sensing area or can only collect the image of a part of the drying sensing area; the preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly can be one or more, which is determined according to the actual installation environment and installation situation of the visual recognition module. For example, when the visual recognition module is set on the long side of the side panel of the clothes drying machine, the preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly is generally located on the clothes drying rod, and when the visual recognition module is set on the short side of the side panel of the clothes drying machine, the preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly is generally located on the small drying rod.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the clothing detection unit is disposed on the drying rod assembly or the host, the clothing detection unit may use a weighing sensor or a clothing detection sensor connected to the main controller; specifically:

[0048] When the clothing detection unit is a weighing sensor, the weighing sensor can be set on the drying rod assembly, or on the winding wheel for winding the wire rope in the main unit. Under this structure, the weighing sensor can detect the pressure borne by the wire rope, that is, it can determine the total weight information of the drying rod assembly fixed at one end of the wire rope and the clothes hung on it. In addition, the weighing sensor can also be directly set on the drying rod assembly to detect the weight information borne by the drying rod assembly, and then determine whether there are clothes on the drying rod assembly. Specifically, the main controller obtains the weight information through the weighing sensor, and determines whether the weight on the drying rod assembly exceeds the preset value according to the weight information; if so, it determines that there are clothes hanging on the drying rod assembly; if not, it determines that there are no clothes hanging on the drying rod assembly.

[0049] The above-mentioned preset value can be determined based on the setting position of the weighing sensor. When the weighing sensor is set on the clothes drying rod assembly, the preset value is determined according to the weight change accuracy of the clothes drying. When the weighing sensor is set on the wire rope winding wheel, the preset value is determined according to the weight change accuracy of the clothes drying rod assembly and the clothes. The preset value is set in this embodiment in order to accurately identify whether there are clothes drying on the clothes drying rod, and it can be set specifically according to the actual drying situation.

[0050] When the clothing detection unit is a clothing sensor, the clothing sensor includes a light source transmitting end and a receiving end arranged at both ends of the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying rod assembly. Specifically, the light source transmitting end and the receiving end can be respectively arranged at the two ends of each clothes drying rod, and the receiving end is connected to the main controller. When clothes are dried on the clothes drying rod, the light path between the light source transmitting end and the receiving end will be blocked, so that the receiving end cannot receive the light signal; therefore, the main controller can determine the clothes drying status on the clothes drying rod based on whether the receiving end receives the light signal sent by the light source transmitting end. When the receiving end can receive the light signal, it is determined that there is no clothes drying on the clothes drying rod. When the receiving end cannot receive the light signal, it is determined that there are clothes drying on the clothes drying rod.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the clothing detection unit is set in the preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly, the clothing detection unit can also use a weighing sensor or a clothing detection sensor connected to the main controller; specifically:

[0052] When the clothing detection unit is a weighing sensor, the weighing sensor can be set on a preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly to detect weight information of the preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly, so as to determine whether there are clothes drying in the preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly; specifically, the main controller obtains the weight information of the preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly through the weighing sensor, and determines whether the weight in the preset area of ​​the drying rod assembly exceeds a preset value according to the weight information; if so, it is determined that there are clothes drying on the drying rod assembly; if not, it is determined that there are no clothes drying on the drying rod assembly, and the preset value here is determined according to the accuracy of the weight change of the clothes being dried.

[0053] When the clothing detection unit is a clothing sensor, the clothing sensor includes a light source transmitting end and a receiving end arranged at both ends of a preset area of ​​the clothes drying rod assembly, and the receiving end is connected to the main controller. For example, in the straight direction of the clothes drying rod, the range from point A to point B is the preset area, and the light source transmitting end can be installed at point A, and the receiving end can be installed at point B; wherein, if the visual recognition module is installed in the middle of the long side of the main unit side panel, the preset area within the above-mentioned range from point A to point B is generally located in the middle section of the clothes drying rod; when there are clothes drying in the above-mentioned preset area, the receiving end cannot receive the light signal, and at this time the main controller can determine that there are clothes drying in the preset area of ​​the clothes drying rod assembly.

[0054] In addition, in this embodiment, the visual recognition module can also be used to detect whether the drying rod assembly or there are clothes drying on the drying rod assembly. Specifically, when the human body detection unit detects that someone has entered the drying sensing area, the main controller controls the visual recognition module to capture images and identify whether there is clothing information in the image. If so, the drying rod assembly is controlled to run to a preset position. Clothing detection based on image information collected by the visual recognition module can save hardware expenditure costs, and when the clothes drying rod assembly is located in the drying position, such as the upper limit position, if the clothes drying on the drying rod assembly block the visual recognition module, then when the visual recognition module collects images at this time, the clothing information can be extracted from the image information. Even if clothes are drying on the drying rod assembly but the visual recognition module is not blocked, it means that these clothes cannot affect the visual recognition module. The visual recognition module can collect image information of the drying sensing area. At this time, even if the clothes drying rod assembly is not controlled to run to the preset position, its recognition rate will not be affected. Therefore, detecting clothing information through the visual recognition module can not only save hardware costs, but also improve the operating efficiency of the clothes drying machine, and avoid the situation where the clothes drying rod assembly needs to run to the preset position when there are clothes drying but not blocked.
