[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the fast-paced modern lifestyle, clothing care and sorting have become an indispensable but cumbersome task in daily life.
[0003] In the prior art, in a clothing sorting rack for laundry with the publication number of CN212128601U, the utility model relates to the technical field of sorting racks for laundry, and particularly to a clothing sorting rack for laundry, which includes a rotating sorting rack for driving clothes to rotate and convey, and hooks installed on the rotating sorting rack for hanging clothes. A lower storage rack with an internal storage cavity is installed directly below the rotating sorting rack. The inner cavity of the lower storage rack is internally provided with partitions that divide it into the same number of compartments as the corresponding hooks. The rotating sorting rack and the lower storage rack are connected by a connecting plate and driven synchronously. During the process of clothing sorting, it effectively prevents clothes from accidentally falling. At the same time, when clothes or laundry bags hanging on the hooks accidentally fall, it immediately stores them. The storage space corresponds to the position of the hooks, which is convenient for efficiently distinguishing their ownership. While simplifying the sorting work, it effectively prevents sorting errors.

[0037] It should be noted that the present utility model is a clothing sorting robot, the core of which lies in the integration of a precision robotic arm 2 and a multi-functional wardrobe body 6. The interior of the wardrobe is carefully divided into several independent areas: the placement bin 7 is used for initially storing clothes, the sterilization bin 8 focuses on clothing sterilization treatment, the dehumidification bin 9 is responsible for removing moisture from clothes, and the deodorization bin 10 effectively eliminates unpleasant odors on clothes. Particularly crucial is that an advanced Raspberry Pi 4B microcomputer is embedded inside the wardrobe body 6, serving as the central brain for intelligent control.
[0038] In actual operation, the user simply hangs the clothes on the placement rack 4 inside the placement bin 7 through the hook 5. Subsequently, the built-in Raspberry Pi 4B precisely commands the robotic arm 2 to start working according to the preset program or user instructions. The robotic arm 2 is not only flexible and efficient, but its specially designed picking component 29 is even equipped with an innovative element, the electromagnet block 295. This design greatly enhances the grasping ability of the robotic arm 2 for clothes, ensuring the stability and safety of the clothes during the transfer process, effectively avoiding the problem of clothes falling due to unstable grasping, and thus realizing the automated and precise sorting and care of clothes from placement to each processing bin such as sterilization, dehumidification, and deodorization.
