Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of smart home device technology, and more specifically, to a smart clothes drying rack. Background Technology
[0002] In addition to natural air drying, existing smart clothes drying racks now include a drying function that accelerates the drying process by using a dryer and / or a cooler to blow air onto the clothes.
[0003] However, since the clothes hanging in the smart clothes drying rack are in an open space, the drying efficiency achieved by using the drying function is low, the energy consumption is high, and it can cause problems such as wrinkling of clothes. Utility Model Content
[0004] This disclosure addresses the shortcomings of existing methods by proposing an intelligent clothes drying rack.
[0005] This disclosure provides an intelligent clothes drying rack, including: a main unit, a drying rod assembly, and a vibration module. The drying rod assembly is connected to the main unit via a lifting assembly, and the vibration module is disposed within the main unit or the drying rod assembly. The vibration module includes at least one ultrasonic generator and a plurality of vibration transducers driven by the at least one ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic generator is used to generate a high-frequency ultrasonic signal that can trigger cavitation effect, and the vibration transducer is used to convert the high-frequency ultrasonic signal into high-frequency mechanical vibration to transmit the vibration to the clothes hanging on the drying rod assembly.
[0006] In this embodiment, a vibration module is installed on the smart clothes drying rack. The vibration module includes an ultrasonic generator for generating high-frequency ultrasonic signals that can trigger cavitation effects, and a vibration transducer for converting ultrasonic signals into high-frequency mechanical vibrations. The vibration energy is then transferred to the clothes on the drying rod assembly of the smart clothes drying rack to achieve clothing vibration. This provides the hardware foundation for the ultrasonic vibration drying function. By triggering cavitation effects through high-frequency vibration, water molecules in the clothes undergo cavitation collapse, achieving efficient dehydration of the clothes, reducing energy consumption, improving drying efficiency, and avoiding the problem of wrinkles in clothes caused by using hot or cold air drying.
[0007] In one feasible embodiment, when the vibration module is installed inside the host, the vibration module further includes at least one of the following: The first conductive component has a first end fixedly connected to the vibration transducer and a second end connected to the drying rod assembly; The second conductive component has its first end fixedly connected to the vibration transducer and can be horizontally stored at the bottom of the main unit or partially suspended vertically in the area where the drying rod component is located.
[0008] Considering the significant energy loss when the vibration module is installed on the main unit and the resulting vibration energy is transmitted to the clothes hanging on the drying rod assembly, to reduce this loss and achieve a better drying effect, the vibration module in this embodiment further includes a first transmission component and / or a second transmission component. The first end of the first transmission component is connected to the vibration transducer, and the second end is connected to the drying rod assembly. This allows the high-frequency mechanical vibration converted by the vibration transducer to be transmitted to the drying rod assembly, thereby generating vibration in the clothes and reducing energy loss. The second end of the second transmission component is fixedly connected to the vibration transducer, and its entirety can be horizontally stored at the bottom of the main unit to maintain the integrity and neatness of the smart clothes dryer when not in use. Alternatively, it can be partially suspended vertically in the area where the drying rod assembly is located, so that when using the ultrasonic vibration drying function, the vibration energy is transmitted to an area closer to the clothes, allowing for air conduction of the vibration energy and reducing energy loss.
[0009] In one feasible embodiment, the first conductive component includes a rod with a multi-layered nested structure, the rod extending and retracting longitudinally as the drying rod assembly is raised and lowered.
[0010] In this embodiment of the disclosure, in order to avoid conflict with the lifting function of the drying rod assembly, when the two ends of the first transmission assembly are respectively fixedly connected to the vibration transducer and the drying rod assembly built into the host, the first transmission assembly may include a rod with a multi-layer nested structure. The rod can extend and retract longitudinally with the lifting and lowering of the two rod assemblies, thereby improving the adaptability of the ultrasonic vibration drying function and the lifting function of the drying rod assembly.
[0011] In one feasible embodiment, the bottom of the host is provided with a groove for receiving the second conductive component, the vibration transducer is arranged at an adjacent position at one end of the groove, and a mating structure that can be detachably connected to the second end of the second conductive component is arranged at the other end.
[0012] In this embodiment of the disclosure, a layout structure adapted to the vibration module being installed inside the host is provided. A groove for accommodating the second transmission component is provided at the bottom of the host. A vibration transducer is provided at an adjacent position at one end of the groove to connect the first end of the second transmission component with the vibration transducer. A mating structure that can be detachably connected to the second end of the second transmission component is provided at the other end of the groove, so that the second transmission component can be easily stored at the bottom of the host or easily released downward from the bottom of the host.
[0013] In one feasible embodiment, when the vibration module is installed inside the host, a first permanent magnet connected to the vibration transducer is installed at the bottom of the host, and a second permanent magnet is installed on the drying rod assembly; When the distance between the drying rod assembly and the host is less than a preset distance, the vibration transducer drives the first permanent magnet to vibrate and transmits vibration energy to the second permanent magnet through magnetic field coupling.
[0014] In this embodiment, a structure for transmitting vibration energy is also provided, which is suitable for the case where the vibration module is installed inside the main unit. The bottom of the main unit may also be provided with a first permanent magnet connected to the vibration transducer, and the drying rod assembly is provided with a second permanent magnet. In use, when the distance between the drying rod assembly and the main unit is less than a preset distance, the vibration transducer drives the first permanent magnet and transmits vibration energy to the second permanent magnet through magnetic field coupling. This helps to reduce the loss of vibration energy transmitted to the clothes, ensure the effectiveness of the ultrasonic vibration drying function, and reduce energy consumption.
[0015] In one feasible embodiment, when the vibration module is installed inside the host, the ultrasonic generator is installed in the middle of the host, the vibration transducers are symmetrically installed at at least two positions at the four corners of the host, and a plurality of the vibration transducers are connected in parallel to the output end of the ultrasonic generator.
[0016] In this embodiment of the disclosure, adapted to the case where the vibration module is deployed in the host, in order to reduce deployment and production costs, the ultrasonic generator can be deployed in the middle of the host, and the vibration transducers can be symmetrically deployed in at least two positions at the four corners of the host. Several vibration transducers can be connected in parallel to the output end of the ultrasonic generator. While maintaining the uniformity of the vibration energy generated by the vibration module, one ultrasonic generator can drive at least two vibration transducers, which can effectively reduce the complexity of the required hardware deployment and the deployment between hardware.
[0017] In one feasible embodiment, the clothes drying rod assembly includes two parallel clothes drying rods and end caps connected to the ends of the clothes drying rods; When the vibration module is installed inside the clothes drying rod assembly, the ultrasonic generator is installed in the middle of the clothes drying rod or inside the end cap. Each vibration transducer is connected in parallel to the output end of the ultrasonic generator and is evenly distributed along the length of the clothes drying rod.
[0018] In this embodiment, when the clothes drying rod assembly includes two parallel clothes drying rods and end caps connected to the ends of the clothes drying rods, the ultrasonic generator can be located in the middle of the clothes drying rods or inside the end caps. The vibration transducers included in the vibration module can be connected in parallel to the output end of the ultrasonic generator and evenly distributed along the length of the clothes drying rods. In one example, when the ultrasonic generator is located in the middle of the clothes drying rods, the vibration transducers can be evenly distributed in opposite directions along the clothes drying rods on both sides of the ultrasonic generator. In another example, when the ultrasonic generator is located inside at least one of the end caps, each vibration transducer can be evenly distributed along the length of each clothes drying rod. This arrangement effectively ensures the uniformity of vibration applied to the clothes and enables zoned management, adapting to the drying needs of different clothes and achieving ultrasonic vibration drying for clothes located in different areas.
[0019] In one feasible embodiment, each of the said vibrating transducers has the same impedance and resonant frequency.
[0020] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the uniformity of clothing vibration can also be achieved by adjusting the parameters of the vibration transducer, such as setting the impedance and resonant frequency of each vibration transducer to be the same.
[0021] In one feasible embodiment, the smart clothes dryer further includes a drying module built into the main unit, the air outlet of the drying module facing the side of the drying rod assembly, for generating hot or cold air and blowing it onto the clothes through the air outlet.
[0022] In this embodiment, the intelligent clothes drying rack is further equipped with a drying module, which can be built into the main unit and has its air outlet facing one side of the drying rod assembly. This module generates hot or cold air and blows it onto the clothes through the outlet. The arrangement of the drying module and the vibration module provides the hardware foundation for coordinated drying, which helps improve drying efficiency and meets users' needs for faster drying.
[0023] In one feasible embodiment, the intelligent clothes drying rack further includes a main control module built into the main unit for controlling the vibration module and / or the drying module to perform operations.
[0024] In this embodiment of the disclosure, in order to improve the intelligence of the drying function of the smart clothes drying machine, a main control module is also installed in the main unit. The main control module can be used to control the operation of the control module and / or the drying module. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.
[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 5 The specific structure of the intelligent clothes drying rack provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will be described.
[0030] Specifically, the intelligent clothes drying rack includes at least a main unit 10, a drying rod assembly 30, and a vibration module. The drying rod assembly 30 is connected to the main unit 10 via a lifting assembly 20 and is located below the main unit 10. The vibration module is installed inside either the main unit 10 or the drying rod assembly 30.
[0031] The vibration module includes at least one ultrasonic generator 41 and a plurality of vibration transducers 42 driven by at least one ultrasonic generator 41.
[0032] Optionally, the ultrasonic generator 41 is a device for converting and controlling electrical energy into ultrasonic energy. It can be used to convert ordinary mains power (such as alternating current) into an electrical signal of a specific frequency and power. In this embodiment, the ultrasonic signal of a specific frequency generated by the ultrasonic generator 41 is the basis for realizing the ultrasonic vibration drying function. This frequency can be determined according to the vibration transducer 42 it drives and the drying requirements. The high-frequency electrical signal output by the ultrasonic generator 41 is used to drive the vibration transducer 42 to realize the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. For example, according to different clothing materials, the degree of drying requirements, and environmental conditions, the state of the high-frequency mechanical vibration converted by the vibration transducer 42 can be optimized by adjusting the parameters (such as frequency, power, etc.) of the ultrasonic generator 41 to obtain a better drying effect. For example, for thicker clothing, quilts, etc., a higher power can be used to enhance the vibration effect.
[0033] In one example, the ultrasonic generator 41 is used to generate a high-frequency ultrasonic signal capable of triggering cavitation effects, such as generating a high-frequency ultrasonic signal with a frequency of 20 kHz to 100 kHz.
[0034] Optionally, the vibration transducer 42 can be made of materials with piezoelectric effect, such as piezoelectric ceramics. The piezoelectric effect refers to the phenomenon where certain crystals generate electric charge when subjected to external force, and conversely, mechanical deformation occurs when an electric field is applied to the crystal. In the vibration transducer 42, the high-frequency electrical signal output from the ultrasonic generator 41 is converted into high-frequency mechanical vibration using the piezoelectric effect.
[0035] In one example, the vibration transducer 42 converts the high-frequency electrical signal provided by the ultrasonic generator 41 into high-frequency mechanical vibration. Through its own structure and contact with the garment, it transfers the vibrational energy to the garment. The vibration is transmitted between the vibration transducer 42 and the garment in the form of mechanical waves, causing the garment fibers to vibrate slightly.
[0036] In one example, one ultrasonic generator 41 can drive one vibration transducer 42, or one ultrasonic generator 41 can drive at least two vibration transducers 42. To ensure the uniformity of clothing vibration, when vibration involves multiple ultrasonic generators 41, the operating parameters of each ultrasonic generator 41 are the same. Furthermore, the arrangement of at least two ultrasonic generators 41 and / or multiple vibration transducers 42 can also provide a basis for implementing zoned management of clothing vibration drying, such as... Figure 1 Taking the scenario shown as an example, the ultrasonic vibration drying function is divided into a left area and a right area for management. When the clothes hanging on the right side are thicker than the clothes hanging on the left side, the vibration module in the right area can be controlled to work to speed up the drying speed of the clothes on the right side, so that the clothes hanging on the smart clothes dryer can be dried in a similar time period.
[0037] In this embodiment, the high-frequency mechanical vibration converted by the vibration transducer 42 can induce a cavitation effect (indirectly caused by high-frequency ultrasonic signals). Cavitation is a physical phenomenon that occurs when a liquid is subjected to ultrasonic waves or shock waves. The high-frequency vibration induces a cavitation effect, which can cause water molecules in clothing to collapse into cavities, locking in moisture and allowing it to escape from the surface of the clothing, thus achieving efficient dehydration. Furthermore, the smart clothes dryer provides the hardware foundation for the ultrasonic vibration drying function. Ultrasonic vibration drying does not require high temperatures, effectively reducing energy consumption.
[0038] In a feasible embodiment, when the vibration module is installed inside the host 10, the vibration module further includes a first transmission component 43, with its first end fixedly connected to the vibration transducer 42 and its second end connected to the drying rod component 30.
[0039] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, to more effectively transmit vibration to the clothing, when the vibration module is installed inside the main unit 10, a first conductive component 43, such as a waveguide rod, is also installed between the main unit 10 and the drying rod assembly 30. The first end of the waveguide rod is fixedly connected to the vibration transducer 42, and the second end is fixedly connected to the drying rod assembly 30. In one example, the same number of first conductive components 43 are installed at corresponding positions to achieve the transmission of mechanical vibration, adapting to the location and number of vibration transducers 42 installed in the main unit 10.
[0040] Optionally, considering that the drying rod assembly 30 has a lifting function, in order to better match the lifting function of the drying rod assembly 30 and the vibration function of the vibration module, a multi-layer nested structure is provided for the implementation of the first transmission component 43, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the first conductive component 43 may include a trapezoidal rod 431, which can extend and retract longitudinally as the drying rod assembly 30 rises and falls.
[0041] In one example, such as Figure 3 As shown on the left, the wider end of the rod 431 is connected to the vibration transducer 42, and the narrower end of the rod 431 is connected to the drying rod assembly 30, or as shown on the left. Figure 3 As shown on the right, the narrower end of the rod 431 is connected to the vibration transducer 42, and the wider end of the rod 431 is connected to the drying rod assembly 30. In practical applications, the rod 431 extends and retracts longitudinally as the drying rod assembly 30 rises and falls.
[0042] In a feasible embodiment, when the vibration module is installed inside the main unit 10, the vibration module may further include a second transmission component 44, the first end of which is fixedly connected to the vibration transducer 42 and can be laterally stored at the bottom of the main unit 10 (e.g., Figure 2 (as shown), or can be partially suspended longitudinally in the area where the drying rod assembly 30 is located (e.g. Figure 1(As shown). For example, when the second conductive component 44 is not needed, it can be horizontally stored at the bottom of the main unit 10, that is, stored along the length of the main unit 10, to maintain the integrity of the smart clothes drying rack. When the second conductive component 44 needs to be used, one end of the second conductive component 44 can be released so that it is lowered perpendicular to the main unit 10, as shown. Figure 1 As shown, after the second transmission component 44 is lowered, its end (the end furthest from the main unit 10) is suspended in the area where the drying rod component 30 is located, which can realize the transmission of vibration energy to the clothes through the nearby air.
[0043] Optionally, the bottom of the main unit 10 is provided with a groove 11 for accommodating the second conductive component 44, such as... Figure 2 As shown (the groove 11 can be opened along the length of the main unit 10), a vibration transducer 42 is arranged at an adjacent position at one end of the groove 11. Figure 2 (As shown by the dashed ellipse in the middle), the other end is provided with a mating structure 12 that can be detachably connected to the second end of the second conductive component 44. Figure 2 (The structure shown in the rectangular frame). Among them, the mating structure 12 can be a magnetic structure, a snap-fit structure, etc.
[0044] In one example, to maintain the uniformity of vibration energy, the second transmission component 44 and the main unit 10 can be arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when two second conductive components 44 are arranged, the downward direction of each second conductive component 44 is opposite to the horizontal storage direction.
[0045] In a feasible embodiment, when the vibration module is installed inside the main unit 10, a first permanent magnet 45 connected to the vibration transducer 42 is installed at the bottom of the main unit 10, and a second permanent magnet 46 is installed on the drying rod assembly 30. Figure 5 As shown, considering that the vibration energy that can be transmitted to the clothes is low when the vibration module is installed in the main unit 10, a magnetic field coupling method is provided to achieve effective vibration transmission. Permanent magnets are installed on the side of the main unit 10 and the side of the drying rod assembly 30 to achieve the transmission of vibration energy.
[0046] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the distance H between the drying rod assembly 30 and the host 10 is less than the preset distance, the vibration transducer 42 drives the first permanent magnet 45 to vibrate and transmits vibration energy to the second permanent magnet 46 through magnetic field coupling.
[0047] In this embodiment, considering that the drying rod assembly 30 has a lifting function, when the drying rod assembly 30 descends and the distance between it and the main unit 10 is large (e.g., H is greater than or equal to a preset distance), the driving of the vibration transducer 42 to the first permanent magnet 45 can be paused to reduce energy consumption. When it is determined that the distance between the drying rod assembly 30 and the main unit 10 is small (e.g., H is less than a preset distance), the vibration transducer 42 can be instructed to drive the first permanent magnet 45, thereby transmitting vibration energy to the second permanent magnet 46 through magnetic field coupling, and causing the clothes to vibrate.
[0048] In one feasible embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the vibration module is installed inside the main unit 10, the ultrasonic generator 41 is installed in the middle of the main unit 10 (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown in the octagonal dashed box), the vibration transducers 42 are symmetrically arranged at at least two positions at the four corners of the main unit 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (As shown in the elliptical dashed box), several vibration transducers 42 are connected in parallel to the output of the ultrasonic generator 41, so that at least two vibration transducers 42 can be driven by one ultrasonic generator 41.
[0049] In one example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The arrangement of the vibration transducer 42 and the second transmission component 44 shown is corresponding.
[0050] Optional, Figure 4 This is just one possible layout structure. The ultrasonic generator 41 and the vibration transducer 42 can be placed in other positions as needed. This is also a possible embodiment of this disclosure. For example, the ultrasonic generator 41 can be placed at least one of the four corners of the host 10, and the vibration transducer 42 can be placed in an adjacent position to the ultrasonic generator 41. It is understood that they all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure. In one feasible embodiment, the clothes drying rod assembly 30 includes two parallel clothes drying rods 31 and end caps 32 connected to the ends of the clothes drying rods 31.
[0051] When the vibration module is installed inside the clothes drying rod assembly 30, the ultrasonic generator 41 is installed in the middle of the clothes drying rod 31 or inside the end cap 32. Each vibration transducer 42 is connected in parallel to the output end of the ultrasonic generator 41 and is evenly distributed along the length of the clothes drying rod 31.
[0052] For example, when the ultrasonic generator 41 is installed in the middle of the clothes drying rod 31, the following arrangement can be adopted: vibration transducer 1 - vibration transducer 2 - ultrasonic generator 41 - vibration transducer 3 - vibration transducer 4. The distance between the vibration transducers 42 and the distance between the vibration transducer 42 and the ultrasonic generator 41 can be evenly distributed according to the length of the clothes drying rod 31.
[0053] For example, when the ultrasonic generator 41 is installed on the end cap 32, the vibration transducer 42 is installed in the clothes drying rod 31, and the following arrangement can be adopted: ultrasonic generator 41 - vibration transducer 1 - vibration transducer 2 - vibration transducer 3 - vibration transducer 4. The distance between the vibration transducers 42 can be evenly distributed according to the length of the clothes drying rod 31.
[0054] In the above example, four vibration transducers 42 are installed, which can be adapted to divide the vibration drying into four areas for control. For example, if only the clothes in the middle need to be dried, only vibration transducers 2 and 3 are controlled to convert high-frequency electrical signals.
[0055] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the arrangement position and relationship of the ultrasonic generator 41 and the vibration transducer 42. It is understood that one or more vibration transducers 42 may be arranged, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation. This embodiment of the disclosure does not limit this.
[0056] In one feasible embodiment, in order to maintain the uniformity of the output vibration energy, the impedance and resonant frequency of each vibration transducer 42 are also set to be the same.
[0057] In one feasible embodiment, the smart clothes dryer also includes a drying module built into the main unit 10, with the air outlet 14 of the drying module facing the drying rod assembly 30, for generating hot or cold air and blowing it onto the clothes through the air outlet 14.
[0058] In this embodiment, the placement of the drying module and the vibration module are not conflicting and can work together. For example, when using the drying module for drying, to speed up the drying process and solve problems such as wrinkles in clothing caused by hot or cold air, the vibration module is simultaneously activated to vibrate and dry the clothes, achieving a better drying effect.
[0059] In one feasible embodiment, the smart clothes drying rack also includes a main control module 13 built into the main unit 10 for controlling the vibration module and / or the drying module to perform operations.
[0060] For example, the main control module 13 can be used to dynamically adjust the frequency of the ultrasonic generator 41 and the power of the vibration transducer 42 according to information such as clothing material and humidity distribution, so as to obtain a better drying effect.
[0061] In this embodiment of the disclosure, in order to better configure the intelligent operation of the clothes drying machine, a main control module 13 is also provided in the main unit 10. The main control module 13 can adaptively control the vibration module and / or the drying module to perform operations, such as by dynamically adjusting the operating parameters of each functional module to improve drying efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
[0062] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” “1,” “2,” etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this disclosure described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than that shown in the figures or text.
[0063] The above description is only a partial embodiment of this disclosure. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of this disclosure, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
