[0028] This application mainly relates to an intelligent clothes basket and an intelligent clothing care system. By integrating data collection, control and execution functions, the system enables the automatic movement and opening and closing of the clothes basket, thereby freeing up the user's hands, improving the intelligence of clothes drying, and enhancing the quality of home life.

[0029] The research and development concept of this application includes: providing sensing function to the clothes basket through the collection component, then analyzing the collected information of the collection component through the control component to provide intelligent drive, finally realizing the automatic opening and closing function of the storage component through the cover component, and realizing the automatic movement function of the clothes basket through the moving component. That is, this application integrates sensing, intelligent drive and physical implementation into one, making the clothes basket intelligent. It can transfer clothes and temporarily store clothes as needed, reducing the user's physical exertion and time expenditure, while improving the cleanliness of clothes transfer.

[0030] The technical solution of this application and how it solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments.

The mechanical part refers to... Figure 1 - Figure 6 This section will be explained, with reference to the electronic control section. Figure 7 To elaborate.

[0032] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an intelligent clothes basket provided in one embodiment of this application.

[0033] Specifically, the smart clothes basket provided in this application includes a housing 1, a cover assembly 2 disposed on the top of the housing 1, and a moving assembly 3 disposed on the bottom of the housing 1. The housing 1 contains a storage assembly 11 for storing clothes. Specifically, the cover assembly 2 can open and close the receiving end of the storage assembly 11 to provide a channel for storing and retrieving clothes when open, and to provide temporary storage for clothes when closed. The moving assembly 3 is used to support the movement of the housing 1 and the cover assembly 2, enabling automatic transfer of clothes.

[0034] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 2 for Figure 1 A disassembly diagram is shown. The cover assembly 2 and the moving assembly 3 are connected to the housing 1 by at least a partially detachable connection.

[0035] For example, the cover plate assembly 2 and the moving assembly 3 are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the housing 1 by a plug-in snap-fit ​​method; Alternatively, the cover plate assembly 2 and the moving assembly 3 are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the housing 1 by bolts; Alternatively, the frame portions of the cover plate assembly 2 and the moving assembly 3 can be integrated with the housing 1 by means of welding, molding, or die casting, while the functional parts of the cover plate assembly 2 and the moving assembly 3 can be installed on the frame portion by assembly.

[0036] In fact, regardless of the method, this application aims to ensure both reliable connection and maintainability or reduce manufacturing costs.

[0037] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 3 This is a disassembly diagram of the storage component 11 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0038] Specifically, the storage component 11 and the housing 1 of this application are assembled by a detachable connection, meaning the storage component 11 can be removed from the housing 1 to form an installation chamber between the housing 1 and the storage component 11. This installation chamber is used for cable routing and the installation of control components, facilitating the integration of the electrical control components with the mechanical components and reducing the assembly difficulty of this application. It is understood that this application conceals the cable structure and the installation of the control components for ease of demonstration. In reality, the cable structure can be installed and fixed using clips provided on the inner wall of the housing 1 and / or the outer wall of the storage component 11. Similarly, the control components can also be installed and fixed using mounting grooves provided on the inner wall of the housing 1 and / or the outer wall of the storage component 11.

[0039] Optionally, the housing 1 is constructed as a square, round, or semi-circular structure, extending axially, with both ends configured as interfaces for the installation of the cover assembly 2 and the moving assembly 3.

[0040] Optionally, the storage component 11 is constructed as a cylindrical shape with a receiving end provided at one end, according to the shape of the housing 1.

[0041] Optionally, the storage component 11 can be installed via a fixing part provided on the inner wall of the housing 1, or the storage component 11 can be installed via a fixing part provided on the movable component 3; the storage component 11 can also be installed simultaneously via the inner wall of the housing 1 and the fixing part provided on the movable component 3.

[0042] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 4 This is a disassembly diagram of the cover plate assembly 2 provided in one embodiment of this application.

[0043] Specifically, the cover plate assembly 2 includes a cover shell 21, a rotating shaft 22, a plate 23, and a first motor 24. The cover shell 21 forms the frame of the cover plate assembly 2, providing mounting support. The rotating shaft 22 is installed by inserting into the positioning holes 25 provided inside the cover shell 21. The plate 23 is fixed by inserting into the middle of the rotating shaft 22. The first motor 24 is installed through a fixing groove provided on the inner wall of the cover shell 21. The drive shaft of the first motor 24 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 22, thereby realizing the rotation drive of the rotating shaft 22.

[0044] Optionally, bearings, pulleys, or other components may be provided between the rotating shaft 22 and the positioning hole 25 to improve transmission efficiency.

[0045] Optionally, after the rotating shaft 22 is inserted into the plate 23, a rotational connection is achieved through limiting components such as snap rings and fixing grooves.

[0046] Optionally, the first motor 24 and the rotating shaft 22 can be driven by direct drive or by gear transmission.

[0047] Optionally, this application can also replace plate 23 with a split structure or a winding structure, and the opening and closing of the receiving end can be achieved by splitting or winding. It is worth understanding that the method of opening and closing the rotating plate 23 is only a low-cost implementation structure for the receiving end, and other opening and closing structures can be used to achieve the opening and closing of the receiving end.

[0048] Optionally, the bottom of the cover 21 is provided with a first interface 211, the shape of which is adapted to the mounting hole 311 provided by the housing 1, for at least partial connection to the housing 1. It is understood that the first interface 211 is a detachable structure between the cover assembly 2 and the housing 1, and the first interface 211 does not exist when the cover 21 and the housing 1 are integrated.

[0049] Optionally, the first motor 24 has a hovering function to maintain the open receiving end of the plate 23.

[0050] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 5 This is a disassembly diagram of the movable component 3 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0051] Specifically, the moving component 3 includes a base plate 31, rollers 32, and a second motor 33. The base plate 31 is a frame structure that provides mounting support, while the rollers 32 and the second motor 33 are mounted on the base plate 31. The second motor 33 is used to drive the rollers 32 to rotate.

[0052] Optionally, the base plate 31 is provided with mounting holes 311 for mounting the roller 32, so that the roller 32 has rotational freedom within the mounting holes 311.

[0053] Optionally, the base plate 31 includes a second interface 312 for adapting to the mounting hole 311 at the lower end of the housing 1, and is at least partially connected to the lower end of the housing 1 through the second interface 312. It is understood that the function of the second interface 312 is similar to that of the first interface 211.

[0054] Optionally, the rollers 32 include two driving wheels 321 and at least one driven wheel 322 disposed around the base plate 31. The driving wheels 321 are connected to the second motor 33, thereby achieving the steering function of the clothes basket through differential speed control. It can be understood that when the driving speeds of the two driving wheels 321 are the same, the clothes basket maintains a straight path; when the speed of one driving wheel 321 is lower than the speed of the other driving wheel 321, the clothes basket turns towards the driving wheel 321 with the lower speed. Differential speed control helps reduce the structural complexity of the base plate 31 and facilitates the maintenance of the clothes basket.

[0055] Optionally, the base plate 31 can also be equipped with a chassis, through which the rotation of the rollers 32 is controlled, so that the moving component 3 can be driven by a second motor 33, thereby reducing the driving cost.

[0056] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 6 This is a disassembly diagram of the storage component 11 provided in one embodiment of this application.

[0057] The storage component 11 includes a storage cavity 111, a lifting plate 112, and a third motor 113. The storage cavity 111 is used for storing and temporarily storing clothes. The lifting plate 112 is used to raise the distance between the top layer of clothes and the collection end when clothes are drying or folded, so that the bottom layer of clothes is at the collection end for easy access by the user. At the same time, the lifting plate 112 is also used to lower to the bottom of the storage cavity 111 when clothes are being collected, to ensure the storage capacity of the clothes. The third motor 113 can drive the lifting plate 112 according to the control signal of the drying, folding, or collecting state, so that the lifting plate 112 is in the expected position. Thus, when the user collects clothes, the top layer of clothes is always at the collection end, and when the user stores clothes, the lifting plate 112 is at the lowest point of the storage cavity 111, thereby improving the user experience and the intelligence level of the smart clothes basket.

[0058] Optionally, the inner wall of the storage cavity 111 is provided with a guide rail, and the outer periphery of the lifting plate 112 is provided with a flexible strip for flexible contact with the guide rail, thereby achieving a seal between the lifting plate 112 and the storage cavity 111, preventing bacteria from growing between the lifting plate 112 and the bottom of the storage cavity 111, and ensuring the cleanliness of the smart clothes basket.

[0059] Optionally, the receiving end of the receiving cavity 111 is also equipped with a motion recognizer to acquire storage or retrieval operations and to control the first motor 24 to be in a continuous output state so as to keep the plate 23 continuously open to the receiving end. For example, the direction of the motion can be identified by multiple consecutive images to analyze the storage or retrieval operation; or the storage or retrieval operation can be analyzed by the response time sequence of multiple sensors arranged axially.

[0060] Optionally, the storage assembly 11 also includes a sterilization lamp 114, which is used to irradiate the storage cavity 111 to sterilize bacteria on the clothing.

[0061] Optionally, a sterilization lamp 114 is disposed on the inner wall of the storage cavity 111.

[0062] Optionally, the sterilization lamp 114 can be configured as a ring, fitted into the inner wall of the receiving cavity 111, thereby improving the sterilization effect and efficiency.

[0063] Alternatively, the sterilization function can also be achieved using a heating element. The heating element achieves the heating function by wrapping around the outer wall or bottom of the housing component 11.

[0064] Optionally, the third motor 113 can drive the lifting plate 112 centrally via hydraulic drive, reducing drive costs.

[0065] Optionally, the third motor 113 can lift the lifting plate 112 via an external chain to increase the bottom volume of the storage cavity 111, thereby increasing the clothing capacity of the storage cavity 111.

[0066] Optionally, combined Figure 1 - Figure 6 For a description of the mechanical parts, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the acquisition component 4 and the control component provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0067] Specifically, the electronic control section of this application comprises three main modules: a data acquisition component 4, a control component, and an execution component. The data acquisition component 4 includes a sensor 41, a video module, a transceiver module, a sound module, a gesture module, a wireless module, buttons, and a control panel. The control component is used to analyze the signals acquired by the data acquisition component 4 and control the execution component based on the analysis. The execution component includes a first motor 24, a second motor 33, a third motor 113, a sterilization lamp 114, and an alarm 115. Therefore, the control component acts as the main control center, controlling the execution component to perform corresponding functions based on signal feedback from different devices in the data acquisition component. It is understood that the control component includes a microcontroller, a main control board, etc.

[0068] Optionally, the acquisition component 4 can be disposed on the housing 1 or the cover assembly 2, for example: in Figure 1 The diagram shows the panel mounted on the exterior of housing 1. Users can activate the smart clothes basket by clicking on the panel. The smart clothes basket then analyzes the data collected by the data acquisition component 4 through the control component and responds accordingly. Users can also activate the smart clothes basket via gestures, voice, wireless communication, or buttons. Wireless communication refers to issuing commands via an indoor local area network, including wireless networks, Bluetooth, etc.

[0069] Optionally, the acquisition component 4 includes a trigger 26 disposed on the exterior of the cover plate component 2.

[0070] Optionally, the acquisition component 4 includes a sensor 41.

[0071] Optionally, sensor 41 is disposed on the inner wall of the receiving end to obtain the storage height of the clothing.

[0072] Optionally, sensor 41 is an infrared sensor 41.

[0073] Therefore, combining Figure 1 - Figure 7 This application includes the following embodiments: Example 1 This application can obtain the user's trigger operation through the trigger 26, thereby controlling the component to drive the control component to excite the first motor 24, which in turn causes the first motor 24 to drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, thereby realizing the opening of the receiving end.

[0074] Optionally, trigger 26 can be at least one of a voice module, gesture module, wireless module, button, or panel. For example, the voice module can acquire the user's voice command to "open the laundry basket" or "close the laundry basket," and then generate corresponding control information through the parsing of the control component to control specific execution components, such as the first motor 24, to perform the corresponding function. The gesture module can set the first gesture as an open command and the second gesture as a close command; the wireless module can support users to issue commands through smart terminals such as mobile phones and tablets; the button is mainly a mechanical structure; the panel mainly responds to the user's touch screen motor operation, and the implementation of other functions related to the voice module, gesture module, wireless module, button, and panel can be understood with reference to the execution model of cover plate component 2.

[0075] Optionally, this application can continuously capture images of the user through a video module, thereby recognizing the user's clothes-drying or clothes-collecting operations through the images, and driving the first motor 24 through the control component to keep the plate 23 in a constantly open state.

[0076] Optionally, the control component also includes a delay circuit, which drives the first motor 24 to switch the board 23 from the open state to the closed state when the user does not retrieve or store clothing within a preset time (which can be achieved through image recognition).

[0077] Example 2 This application can continuously capture images of the user through a video module, and then upload the images to a control component. The control component analyzes the user's movement distance and direction through the images, and then sends a command to the first motor 24. The second motor 33 responds to the control signal sent by the control component and controls the roller 32 to rotate, thereby realizing the automatic movement of the clothes basket, that is, following the user's movement.

[0078] Optionally, the user-following function can also be implemented through a transceiver module, which includes a receiver mounted on the housing 1 or the cover assembly 2, and a portable transmitter adapted to the receiver. When the portable transmitter is plugged into the receiver, the clothes basket is in standby mode. When the user picks up the portable transmitter, the user-following function is activated. The portable transmitter begins to continuously acquire the user's movement trajectory, then converts the user's movement trajectory into a wireless signal and sends it to the receiver for reception. The control component then analyzes the received signal through the receiver to obtain the user's movement distance and direction, thereby realizing the user-following function.

[0079] Optionally, the portable transmitter includes a transmitting component and at least two accelerometers connected to the transmitting component. The accelerometers acquire the user's acceleration information and transmit it via the transmitting component. Correspondingly, the receiver includes a receiving component for receiving signals from the transmitting component. It is understood that the transmitting and receiving components can communicate via radar, Bluetooth, or a wireless network.

[0080] Example 3 This application's control component is equipped with a path planning algorithm to automatically plan a path based on the data acquisition component 4. Specifically, the control component analyzes the acquired information (e.g., image information, transmission and reception information) from the acquisition component 4 using the path planning algorithm, automatically generating a movement path. This path drives the second motor, enabling the smart clothes basket to automatically locate itself. For example, after activation, the basket can automatically move to the drying area; after drying, it can automatically move to the folding area; or after folding, it can automatically move to the standby area. It's worth noting that users can configure the standby area, drying area, and folding area, allowing the control component to automatically control the clothes basket to move to different areas via the data acquisition component, thus improving the overall intelligence of this application.

[0081] Optionally, during the user's following process, the control component can also call the user map to optimize the following path.

[0082] Example 4 This application can control the lifting plate 112 based on the identification of the drying area and the folding area. When the clothes basket is in the drying area, the third motor 113 controls the lifting plate 112 to be at the bottom of the storage cavity 111; when the clothes basket is in the folding area, the third motor 113 raises the position of the lifting plate 112 according to the sensing of the sensor 41, so that the highest point of the clothes is always at the receiving end. That is, after the user takes one, a batch or several pieces of clothing and folds them, the infrared sensor 41 re-identifies the height of the clothing, thereby driving the lifting plate 112 to rise until the top layer of clothing is raised to a height that the infrared sensor 41 can sense, thus facilitating the retrieval of the clothing.

[0083] Optionally, the lifting plate 112 can also be lifted according to a preset time interval.

[0084] Example 5 Based on the delay circuit of the control component, the storage time of the clothes is obtained, and the sterilization lamp 114 can be automatically turned on after the clothes have been stored for a preset time to sterilize them. For example, if the user has not finished drying or folding the clothes, the board 23 will be automatically turned off based on the delay circuit or the recognition of the user's access operation, and then the sterilization lamp 114 will be turned on to sterilize the clothes.

[0085] Example 6 Based on the sensing height of sensor 41, alarm 115 can remind users of the amount of clothing. For example, when the clothing exceeds the sensing height of sensor 41, alarm 115 will sound an alarm to encourage users to organize their clothing.

[0086] Optionally, the sensor 41 can also provide an alarm based on the delay circuit for long-term storage of clothing, reminding the user to dry or fold the clothing in a timely manner.

[0087] Optionally, the alarm 115 can notify the user via SMS, APP message, or other means.

[0088] Optionally, all of the above functions provide a user mode, allowing users to activate different functions by issuing commands.

[0089] It is understood that the functions of the smart clothes basket can be expanded by adding corresponding acquisition components to the acquisition components and corresponding execution components to the execution components.

[0090] Optionally, this application also provides an intelligent clothing care system, including a drying device and a clothes basket, the clothes basket being the intelligent clothes basket provided in any of the above possible embodiments. The drying device and the intelligent clothes basket can be interconnected via a data acquisition component 4, enabling the intelligent clothes basket provided in this application to interact with the drying device. For example, the intelligent drying device can send the current location of the clothes to be hung to the intelligent clothes basket, and then the intelligent clothes basket can drive the moving component 3 to move to the current location, thereby achieving intelligent drying and intelligent collection of clothes.

[0091] In summary, this application provides an intelligent clothes basket and an intelligent clothing care system. The application uses the data acquisition component 4 to collect information, which the control component then analyzes to generate different control signals. The control component can then control the cover component 2 based on the acquired information, enabling the cover component 2 to automatically open and close the receiving end. This allows the cover component 2 to block unnecessary bacterial or dust contamination, ensuring the cleanliness of the clothing. Similarly, the control component can control the moving component 3 based on the collected information, thus moving the entire clothes basket and freeing the user's hands, reducing the need for excessive physical effort and time to transfer clothing. Simultaneously, the storage component 11 provides temporary storage for clothing, allowing the application to complete the transfer of almost all clothing in one go, improving the efficiency of clothing drying and storage, and saving the user's time.
