[0002] Electric clothes drying racks are increasingly popular due to their automatic lifting and lowering capabilities, as well as integrated functions such as lighting, drying, and sterilization. They have become an indispensable part of smart home products.

[0003] Electric clothes drying racks use hangers to hang clothes on drying rods. Generally, clothes are dried through air circulation and sunlight. Alternatively, the drying function can be activated. When the heating module of the electric clothes drying rack is activated, the heat generated is blown by a fan onto the clothes on the drying rods.

[0039] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary descriptions for explaining the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] Currently, electric clothes drying racks primarily rely on air circulation, sunlight, and the drying module. Clothes are hung on the rack and generally undergo no further processing before being taken down, resulting in a relatively low level of automation. Different fabrics typically require different drying conditions, including temperature, light intensity, and UV radiation. Proper drying conditions are essential to protect clothing and maintain its shine, while unsuitable conditions can cause irreversible damage.

[0042] Based on the problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a drying control system. This drying control system is applied to a clothes drying machine and can adjust the drying conditions (ultraviolet intensity) for clothes of different materials to avoid damage to the clothes caused by unsuitable drying conditions.

[0043] The clothes drying rack referred to in this embodiment generally includes a main unit and a drying rod assembly. The main unit is generally installed on the ceiling, and the drying rod assembly is set below the main unit by steel wire ropes or other lifting devices. 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 horizontal rods for drying small items (underwear, socks, towels, etc.). Clothes of normal size are usually hung on the clothes drying rods, quilt drying rods, or small drying rods using clothing hangers (such as clothes hangers). The main unit contains a main controller, a power system, and other components. The power system of the clothes drying rack may include a motor, a reel, a pulley assembly, and a steel wire rope. The main controller is connected to the motor via a motor driver to control the motor's rotation. The reel is driven by the motor's output shaft. One end of the steel wire rope is mounted on the reel, and the other end passes through a pulley in the pulley assembly to change direction (from horizontal to vertical) and is fixedly connected to the drying rod assembly below the main unit. The reel rotates under the motor's power to wind up and unwind the steel wire rope, thereby causing the drying rod assembly on the steel wire rope to rise or fall. Additionally, the clothes drying rack may be equipped with lighting, drying, and disinfection modules, which can be controlled by commands issued by the main controller on the main unit.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the drying control system in this embodiment includes a control unit, a clothing material detection unit, an ultraviolet intensity detection unit, and a clothing movement unit; specifically:

[0045] The clothing material detection unit is connected to the control unit and is used to detect the material information of each garment in each drying zone of the clothes dryer and feed it back to the control unit. The drying zones of the clothes dryer can be divided according to the actual drying environment, which includes parameters such as drying temperature, light intensity, ultraviolet intensity, and light exposure duration. One embodiment can divide each drying rod into multiple segments. For example, when there are two parallel drying rods, each rod is divided into two segments, resulting in a total of four segments corresponding to four drying zones.

[0046] In this embodiment, the clothing material detection unit can use a near-infrared sensor. The near-infrared sensor emits near-infrared light of a specific wavelength towards the clothing and receives the light signal reflected back from the clothing material. Different clothing materials have different absorption, reflection, and scattering characteristics of near-infrared light. The near-infrared sensor can identify the clothing material based on the characteristics of the received light signal, thereby determining the clothing material. The clothing material includes cotton, linen, cashmere, silk, polyester fiber, nylon, spandex, acrylic, Tencel, or a mixture of the above components.

[0047] In this embodiment, one or more clothing material detection units can be set. Specifically, a corresponding clothing material detection unit can be set for each clothing hanging piece. For example, each clothing material detection unit can be directly set on each clothing hanging piece, or each clothing material detection unit can be installed at different positions on the drying rod. Each position can detect the clothing on a clothing hanging piece, and each clothing material is used to detect the material information of the clothing being dried on the corresponding clothing hanging piece. In addition, clothing material detection units can be set for each drying section of the clothes drying machine, with one or more units. For example, if there is only one unit, the clothing material detection unit can be set on the motion platform, which is connected to the control unit. The control unit controls the motion platform to move, including rotation and / or translation, so as to move the clothing material detection unit to different positions within the drying section, thereby realizing the material detection of clothing at different positions. In other embodiments, the position of the clothing material detection unit can be fixed, and the clothing material is detected when each clothing hanging piece in the drying section moves past the clothing material detection unit. That is, one or more clothing material detection units are shared within a drying section.

[0048] The ultraviolet intensity detection unit is connected to the control unit and is installed in each drying zone of the clothes dryer. It is used to detect the ultraviolet intensity of each drying zone and feed it back to the control unit.

[0049] In this embodiment, the ultraviolet intensity detection unit can directly use an ultraviolet sensor. One or more ultraviolet sensors can be set on each drying section of the clothes dryer. When multiple sensors are used, the average of the ultraviolet intensity values ​​detected by multiple ultraviolet sensors can be used as the ultraviolet intensity of the corresponding drying section.

[0050] The control unit is connected to the clothing movement unit, which, based on the material information of each garment in each drying zone and the UV intensity matching of each drying zone, controls the corresponding garment to move to the drying zone with suitable UV intensity. Specifically, for each drying zone, it determines whether the corresponding material of the garment is suitable for the UV intensity there; if not, it controls the clothing movement unit to move the corresponding garment to the drying zone with suitable UV intensity.

[0051] Specifically, for each drying zone, such as drying zone A, the control unit determines the material information of each garment in drying zone A through the garment material detection unit and obtains the ultraviolet intensity information of drying zone A through the ultraviolet intensity detection unit. Based on the material of each garment (e.g., garment Y) in drying zone A, the control unit determines the suitable ultraviolet intensity value (e.g., a1 to a2) for each garment. The control unit compares the suitable ultraviolet intensity value of each garment in drying zone A with the ultraviolet intensity a of drying zone A to determine whether each garment is suitable for drying in drying zone A. If the ultraviolet intensity a is within the range of a1 to a2, it means that garment Y is suitable for drying in drying zone A; otherwise, it is not suitable. In the case of unsuitability, the control unit can move garment Y to other drying zones, such as drying zone B, through the garment moving unit, where the ultraviolet intensity b of drying zone B is within the range of a1 to a2.

[0052] In this embodiment, the control unit can be a microcontroller chip such as an MCU, or a main controller on the clothes drying rack, or a controller that communicates with the main controller on the clothes drying rack. When the control unit is the main controller on the clothes drying rack, the clothing material detection unit, ultraviolet detection unit, and clothing movement unit all include controllers. These controllers typically communicate with the control unit via a wireless communication unit to achieve data transmission and signal interaction. When the control unit is a controller that communicates with the main controller on the clothes drying rack, the control unit can be a controller mounted on the drying rod, and the clothing material detection unit, ultraviolet detection unit, and clothing movement unit can be connected to the control unit via wired or wireless means.

[0053] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the aforementioned clothing moving unit includes a pulley mechanism that slides along a drying rod and a clothing hanging component. The clothing hanging component is mounted on the pulley mechanism and slides along the drying rod under the drive of the pulley mechanism. The pulley mechanism is connected to a control unit and is used to receive sliding signals sent by the control unit, and slides along the drying rod according to the sliding signals to move the clothing on the clothing hanging component to a drying zone with suitable ultraviolet intensity.

[0054] In this embodiment, the pulley mechanism includes a motor and a pulley. The control unit controls the rotation of the motor via a motor drive unit, including forward or reverse rotation. The pulley is mounted on the motor output shaft and slides along the drying rod under the control of the control unit, thereby moving the clothes on the clothes hanger along the drying rod. In this embodiment, the connection between the pulley mechanism and the control unit can be wired or wireless. When wired, the control unit is directly electrically connected to the motor via the motor drive unit. When wireless, a first controller can be provided in the pulley mechanism. The first controller is connected to the control unit via a wireless communication unit and wired to the motor drive unit to receive sliding signals sent by the control unit, thereby controlling the rotation of the motor according to the sliding signals. In this embodiment, the pulley can be a wheel mounted on the drying rod, which can move along the drying rod under the drive of the motor, thereby moving clothes from one drying section to another.

[0055] In another embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the structure of the clothing moving unit can also include an electromagnetic induction unit and a clothing hanging component mounted on the drying rod; the clothing hanging component is equipped with a magnetic attraction unit (such as a magnet) and can move on the drying rod under the action of the electromagnetic induction unit. A control unit is connected to the electromagnetic induction unit and is used to control the magnetization state of the electromagnetic induction unit to attract the magnetic attraction unit in the clothing hanging component, thus moving the clothing hanging component on the drying rod.

[0056] The aforementioned electromagnetic induction unit includes electromagnetic sensors arranged along the length of the drying rod and a switching unit. The control unit controls each electromagnetic sensor to be energized or demagnetized via the switching unit. Since the electromagnetic sensors are arranged along the length of the drying rod, when controlling the movement of clothing along one direction of the drying rod, the electromagnetic sensors in the direction of movement of the clothing hanger can be sequentially energized and magnetized to continuously attract the clothing hanger as it moves along the drying rod. Simultaneously, only one or more electromagnetic sensors in front of the clothing hanger in its direction of movement are magnetized; while magnetization is applied to the area in front of the clothing hanger, the electromagnetic sensor at the current position on the drying rod is demagnetized. Furthermore, the connection between the electromagnetic induction unit and the control unit can be wired or wireless. In the wired configuration, the control unit is wired to the switching unit; in the wireless configuration, the electromagnetic induction unit also includes a second controller, which is connected to the control unit via a wireless communication unit and simultaneously wired to the switching unit. The aforementioned switching unit can be a relay. The relay control coil is connected to the control unit. The controlled end of the relay includes a moving contact, a normally closed contact, and a normally open contact. The electromagnetic sensor is connected to the power module through the relay's moving and normally open contacts. Based on this, when the control unit controls the relay control coil to be energized, the moving and normally open contacts are connected, and the electromagnetic sensor can be energized and magnetized. When the control unit controls the relay control coil to be de-energized, the moving and normally open contacts are disconnected, and the electromagnetic sensor can be de-energized and demagnetized.

[0057] In this embodiment, when the clothing material detection unit is not installed on the clothing hanger, the drying control system may further include an identification unit. The identification unit is connected to the control unit and is used to identify the unique identifier on the clothing hanger and feed it back to the control unit, so that the control unit can identify the clothing hanger based on the unique identifier. In this embodiment, the identification unit may be an RFID reader or barcode reader, etc., and the unique identifier may be an RFID tag, one-dimensional barcode, two-dimensional barcode, or multi-dimensional barcode installed on the clothing hanger. There are various specific implementation methods, and this embodiment does not limit them. In this embodiment, each clothing material detection unit may be matched with an identification unit. The installation positions of the matched identification unit and the clothing material detection unit are set so that they can simultaneously identify and detect the same piece of clothing. That is, when the clothing material detection unit detects the clothing material information on clothing hanger number 001, the matching identification unit can also read the unique identifier on clothing hanger number 001, so that the control unit can determine the clothing material on each clothing hanger according to the matched clothing material detection unit and the identification unit, and can also locate the drying zone of each clothing hanger, accurately controlling the corresponding clothing hanger to move from one drying zone to another. For example, for garment hanging item 001, after the garment material detection unit in drying zone A reads and detects the material, the control unit can determine that garment hanging item 001 is located in drying zone A. When the control unit moves garment hanging item 001 to drying zone B based on ultraviolet intensity, the control unit can record that garment hanging item 001 is currently located in drying zone B. In this embodiment, when the garment material detection unit is directly installed on each garment hanging item, the control unit can determine the garment hanging item to which the currently detected garment belongs based on the signal sent by the garment material detection unit. Specifically, the control unit can make the determination based on the information in the IO port connected to the garment material unit or the wireless signal between the two. In this case, the drying system does not need to set up an identification unit.

[0058] This embodiment of the clothes drying control system may further include environmental sensors connected to the control unit, used to detect environmental information of the environment where the clothes dryer is located and feed it back to the control unit; the control unit is connected to the drying unit of the clothes dryer and used to adjust the drying power of the drying unit according to the environmental information. In this embodiment, the environmental sensors may include a wind speed sensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a light sensor, wherein the wind speed sensor is used to detect the air circulation speed, the temperature sensor is used to detect the air temperature, the humidity sensor is used to detect the air humidity, and the light sensor is used to detect the light intensity. The control unit can adjust the appropriate drying power in combination with the above environmental information to adjust the drying temperature of the drying unit, so that the clothes can be dried more efficiently. In this embodiment, a relationship between environmental information and drying power can be established based on experience. The drying power obtained under this relationship can enable clothes to be dried more efficiently. Based on this, the control unit can obtain the drying power that the drying unit should adjust at the present time after obtaining real-time environmental information. In other embodiments, a drying adjustment model can also be established by artificial intelligence. This model can be established by neural networks, etc., using historical environmental information as training samples and inputting it into the neural network for training to obtain the drying adjustment model. Based on this, the control unit can directly input the drying adjustment model after obtaining real-time environmental information to obtain the drying power of the drying unit.

[0059] In summary, in this embodiment of the clothes drying control system, the material information of each garment in each drying zone of the clothes drying machine is detected; an ultraviolet intensity detection unit is installed in each drying zone of the clothes drying machine to detect the ultraviolet intensity information of each drying zone; the control unit receives the material information of each garment in each drying zone and the ultraviolet intensity of each drying zone, determines the acceptable ultraviolet intensity for each garment based on the material information, and then compares the ultraviolet intensity with the ultraviolet intensity of the drying zone where the garment is located to determine whether the garment is suitable for its current drying zone. If it is not suitable, the control unit moves the garment to another suitable drying zone through the garment moving unit. Based on this, the system of this embodiment can adjust the drying conditions for garments of different materials, avoiding damage to the garments caused by unsuitable drying conditions.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] This embodiment discloses a clothes drying rack, including a main unit, a drying rod assembly, a power system, and the drying control system described in Embodiment 1. Wherein:

[0062] The main unit of the clothes drying rack is fixed in the installation environment, such as on the ceiling of a balcony. The main unit includes a main controller, a drying module, and a lighting module. The drying rod is used for drying clothes, and the drying rod assembly is located below the main unit via a power system that allows it to move up and down. The power system of the clothes drying rack can include a motor, a reel, a pulley assembly, and a steel wire rope. The main controller is connected to the motor via a motor driver to control the motor's rotation. The reel is driven by the motor's output shaft. One end of the steel wire rope is mounted on the reel, and the other end passes through a pulley in the pulley assembly to change direction (from horizontal to vertical) and is fixedly connected to the drying rod assembly below the main unit. The reel rotates under the motor's power to wind up and unwind the steel wire rope, thereby causing the drying rod assembly on the steel wire rope to move up or down. Additionally, the main controller can connect to functional modules such as the drying module, lighting module, and disinfection module to control their operating status.

[0063] In this embodiment, the clothes drying area is divided into multiple drying zones, which can be determined based on the actual drying environment, including parameters such as drying temperature, light intensity, ultraviolet (UV) intensity, and light exposure duration. For example, based on the difference in UV intensity at different locations on each drying rod in the drying rod assembly, each drying rod can be divided into multiple segments, each corresponding to a drying zone; as follows: when the drying rod assembly includes two parallel drying rods, each drying rod is divided into two segments, resulting in a total of four segments, corresponding to four drying zones: drying zone A, drying zone B, drying zone C, and drying zone D. Figure 4 and 5 As shown in the diagram. Of course, this embodiment can also use other types of drying zones, depending on the actual situation.

[0064] In this embodiment, based on the above-mentioned drying zones, auxiliary channels or auxiliary drying rods can be set up in different drying zones.

[0065] In this embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, when two drying rods are included, one or more auxiliary channels can be set between the two drying rods (first drying rod 1 and second drying rod 2), such as first channel 3 and second channel 4. When the control unit wants to control the clothing y to move from drying zone C to drying zone A, the control unit first controls the clothing to move to the right to the intersection x3 of the second drying rod 2 and the first channel 3 through the clothing moving unit, and then through the first channel 3 to reach the intersection x1 of the first drying rod 1 and the first channel. Then, the control unit controls the clothing y to move to the left to drying zone A. In some cases, such as when the path of clothing y from drying zone C to drying zone A includes other clothing, such as clothing z, and the material of clothing z is suitable for drying in drying zone C, the control unit can first move clothing z to point x3 after the second drying rod 2 through the clothing moving unit, so that clothing y can reach drying zone A through the first channel. After clothing y reaches the first channel, clothing z can be moved back to drying zone C.

[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, auxiliary drying rods 5 can also be configured for the first drying rod 1 and the second drying rod 2 respectively. A rod body is connected between the two ends of the first drying rod 1 and the second drying rod 2, and a sliding groove is provided on the rod body. The two ends of the auxiliary drying rod are respectively inserted into the sliding grooves of the two drying rods and can slide in the sliding grooves. In this embodiment, the control unit can be connected to the auxiliary drying rod through the drive unit to control the sliding of the auxiliary drying rod 5 in the sliding groove, so that the auxiliary drying rod can move between the first drying rod 1 and the second drying rod 2, that is, from near the first drying rod 1 to away from the second drying rod 2, or from near the second drying rod 2 to away from the second drying rod 2. For clothes that need to be moved, they can first be moved from the first drying rod 1 or the second drying rod 2 to the auxiliary drying rod. After the clothes are moved to the auxiliary drying rod, they are moved in one direction by the electromagnetic induction unit or the pulley mechanism, and then moved from the auxiliary drying rod to the drying section corresponding to the first drying rod 1 or the second drying rod 2. To enable the clothing hanger to move between the first drying rod 1 and the auxiliary drying rod 5, and between the second drying rod 2 and the auxiliary drying rod 5, electromagnetic induction units as described in Embodiment 1 can be installed on the first drying rod, the second drying rod, and the auxiliary drying rod respectively (if the clothing movement unit is already an electromagnetic induction unit, no additional unit is needed). Based on this, a magnetic attraction unit is installed on the clothing hanger. By magnetizing or demagnetizing the electromagnetic induction units on the first drying rod, the second drying rod, and the auxiliary drying rod, the clothing hanger can move between different drying rods. Specifically, if the clothing hanger is currently on the first drying rod 1 and needs to be moved to the auxiliary drying rod 5, the electromagnetic induction unit on the first drying rod 1 is de-energized and demagnetized, while the electromagnetic induction unit on the auxiliary drying rod is energized and magnetized. When the auxiliary drying rod moves close to the first drying rod 1, the clothing hanger will be attracted to the auxiliary drying rod by the electromagnetic induction power supply on the auxiliary drying rod.

[0067] In this embodiment, the division of drying zones and the setting of auxiliary channels and auxiliary drying rods are not limited to the above. Auxiliary channels or auxiliary drying rods can be set on the drying rods according to the number of drying rods on the clothes drying machine and the drying zone situation, so that clothes can be moved between different drying zones.

[0068] In this embodiment, both the clothing material detection unit and the ultraviolet intensity detection unit in the drying control system can be set on the clothes drying rack. When the clothes drying rack includes drying zone A, drying zone B, drying zone C and drying zone D, ultraviolet intensity detection units can be set on the drying racks of drying zones A, B, C and D respectively. The clothing material detection unit can also be set according to embodiment 1. When the number of clothing material detection units is small, the material of each garment hanging piece in the drying zone can be detected by moving the clothing material detection unit, or each garment can be detected by moving the garment hanging piece.

[0069] In this embodiment, to facilitate the differentiation and precise management of each garment, a unique identifier that the drying control system's identification unit can recognize can be set on each garment hanging bracket. In the drying control system, the identification unit and the garment material detection unit can be installed in the same or adjacent locations, such as on the clothes drying rack or on the garment hanging bracket. Alternatively, the identification unit and the garment material detection unit can be integrated into the same product. The identification unit and the garment material detection unit have a matching relationship; when the identification unit identifies a unique identifier on a garment hanging bracket, the matching garment material detection unit can detect the material information of the garment on that hanging bracket. Based on this, the clothes drying rack in this embodiment can accurately identify and determine the material of each garment and its corresponding drying zone, and can also accurately move garments from one drying zone to another.

[0070] In this embodiment, the control unit can move clothing (clothing hangers) from one drying zone to another using a clothing moving unit. The specific structure of the clothing moving unit can be as shown in Embodiment 1. After the control unit determines the clothing hanger to be moved, it controls the clothing moving unit installed on that clothing hanger to move on the drying rod.

[0071] Specifically, when the clothing moving unit is a pulley mechanism, the control unit sends a corresponding sliding signal to the pulley mechanism. This sliding signal includes the movement path of the pulley in the pulley mechanism from one drying zone to another, i.e., the target drying zone. The movement path is the path between the current position of the clothing hanging piece to be moved and the target drying zone. In this embodiment, if the control unit and the pulley mechanism are wired, the control unit can determine the pulley mechanism corresponding to each clothing hanging piece through the IO port connected to the pulley mechanism. If the control unit and the pulley mechanism are wirelessly connected, the control unit can determine to send the sliding signal to the pulley mechanism corresponding to the clothing hanging piece through the wireless signal protocol. That is, the control unit internally records the unique correspondence between each clothing hanging piece and each pulley mechanism, and based on this correspondence, the clothing can be moved accurately.

[0072] Specifically, when the clothing moving unit is an electromagnetic induction unit, if the control unit determines that clothing y in drying zone A needs to be moved to drying zone B, the movement path of clothing y is determined based on the current position of the clothing hanger (e.g., No. 001) of clothing y and the position of drying zone B. Then, each switch unit controls the electromagnetic induction units on the movement path to be magnetized in sequence according to the movement direction of the clothing, so as to attract the magnetic unit on the clothing hanger and make the clothing hanger move along the movement path until it reaches drying zone B.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the identification unit and the clothing material detection unit are installed on the drying rod and their positions remain fixed, the current position of each clothing hanging component can be determined based on the position of the identification unit that identifies its unique identifier or the clothing material detection unit that identifies the clothing material on it. Alternatively, the position can be determined by a position sensor installed on the drying rod or the clothing hanging component; this embodiment does not limit this determination.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the 001 garment hanging piece that needs to be moved in the drying zone includes other 002 garment hanging pieces that do not need to be moved in the moving path, based on the auxiliary channel or auxiliary drying rod described in Embodiment 2, the 002 garment hanging piece can be moved to the auxiliary channel or auxiliary drying rod first. After the 001 garment hanging piece passes the corresponding position, the 002 garment hanging piece can be moved back to the original drying zone.

[0075] In summary, the clothes drying rack of this embodiment, based on the drying zones and the drying control system of Embodiment 1, can adjust the drying conditions for clothes of different materials. That is, it can adjust from a drying zone with unsuitable ultraviolet intensity to another drying zone with suitable ultraviolet intensity, thereby changing the drying conditions of the clothes and effectively avoiding damage to the clothes caused by unsuitable drying conditions.

It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, other similar implementation methods based on the technical concept of this application without departing from the technical concept of this application also fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
