[0045] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely used to explain the technical principles of the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application. Those skilled in the art may adjust them as needed to suit specific application scenarios.

[0046] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of the present application, terms such as "inside" and "outside" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0047] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be internal communication between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0048] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] As described in the background, drying devices in the related art suffer from poor drying performance. The inventors discovered that this problem arises because these drying devices have an air inlet and an air outlet on the housing. When the fan is operating, indoor air flows from the air inlet into the housing, is heated by the heating element, and flows into the drying chamber. The hot, dry air flows over the surface of the wet clothes, removing moisture from the clothes and forming hot, humid air. The hot, humid air is then discharged from the housing through the air outlet, and this cycle continues, drying the clothes in the drying chamber. After a period of use, the fan performance of the drying device gradually decreases, resulting in a decrease in the air circulation rate within the drying device, which in turn reduces the drying performance of the drying device.

[0050] In response to the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a drying control method and a drying device, which controls an auxiliary exhaust device externally connected to the dryer according to the wind pressure of the internal air path of the dryer and the drying temperature of the drying chamber. When the air circulation rate in the drying device decreases, the air circulation rate in the drying device is accelerated through the auxiliary exhaust device, thereby improving the drying performance of the drying device.

[0051] The principles and features of the embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0052] As shown in FIG1 , the drying control method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0053] S101. During operation of the clothes dryer, obtain operating parameter information of the clothes dryer, where the operating parameter information includes the wind pressure of the air path inside the clothes dryer and the drying temperature of the clothes drying chamber.

[0054] The wind pressure of the internal air path of the clothes dryer may be the wind pressure at any position between the air inlet and the air outlet of the clothes dryer, and the wind pressure may be used to reflect the air circulation rate of the internal air path of the clothes dryer.

[0055] The drying temperature of the drying chamber may be the temperature at any position in the drying chamber or the temperature outside the air inlet of the drying chamber. The drying temperature may also be used to reflect the air circulation rate of the air path inside the dryer.

[0056] S102. Control the working state of an auxiliary exhaust device externally connected to the clothes dryer according to the operating parameter information, wherein the air inlet of the auxiliary exhaust device is connected to the air outlet of the clothes dryer, and the air outlet of the auxiliary exhaust device is connected to the outdoor environment.

[0057] The auxiliary exhaust device is externally connected to the dryer and has an air inlet and an air outlet. The inlet communicates with the dryer's air outlet, while the outlet communicates with the outdoor environment. When the air circulation rate within the dryer decreases, the auxiliary exhaust device can increase the air circulation rate within the dryer, thereby improving the drying performance of the dryer.

[0058] The following uses several specific embodiments to explain in detail the technical solution of the method embodiment shown in FIG1 .

[0059] In some embodiments, a possible implementation of S102 is:

[0060] S1021. When the clothes drying temperature is greater than the set temperature, control the auxiliary fan in the auxiliary exhaust device to start working or increase the speed of the auxiliary fan.

[0061] The set temperature is the drying temperature of the drying chamber when the air circulation rate between the air inlet and the air outlet of the dryer is within a normal range.

[0062] When the drying temperature is higher than the set temperature, it indicates that hot air is trapped in the drying chamber because the air circulation rate in the dryer is lower than the set rate. If the auxiliary exhaust device is closed at this time, the auxiliary fan in the auxiliary exhaust device is controlled to start working to increase the air circulation rate in the dryer.

[0063] If the auxiliary exhaust device is in the open state at this time, the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan in the auxiliary exhaust device is increased to further speed up the air circulation rate in the clothes dryer.

[0064] In some embodiments, another possible implementation of S102 is:

[0065] S1022: When the wind pressure between the clothes drying chamber and the air outlet is greater than a first set wind pressure, control the auxiliary fan in the auxiliary exhaust device to start working or increase the speed of the auxiliary fan.

[0066] The first set wind pressure is the wind pressure between the drying chamber and the air outlet when the air circulation rate between the air inlet and the air outlet of the clothes dryer is normal.

[0067] When the air pressure between the drying chamber and the air outlet exceeds the first set air pressure, it indicates that there is a problem with the air flow in the drying chamber and the air outlet. If the auxiliary exhaust device is in the off state at this time, the auxiliary fan in the auxiliary exhaust device is controlled to start operating to increase the air circulation rate in the dryer.

[0068] If the auxiliary exhaust device is in the open state at this time, the rotation speed of the auxiliary fan in the auxiliary exhaust device is increased to further speed up the air circulation rate in the clothes dryer.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 2 , in some other embodiments, a possible implementation of S102 is:

[0070] S1023. When the drying temperature is greater than the set temperature and the wind pressure between the drying chamber and the air outlet is greater than a first set wind pressure, control the auxiliary fan in the auxiliary exhaust device to start working or increase the speed of the auxiliary fan.

[0071] When the drying temperature is greater than the set temperature and the air pressure between the drying chamber and the air outlet is greater than a first set air pressure, it indicates that there is a problem with the air flow in the air path between the drying chamber and the air outlet of the clothes dryer. If the auxiliary exhaust device is in the closed state at this time, the auxiliary fan in the auxiliary exhaust device is controlled to start operating to increase the air circulation rate in the clothes dryer. If the auxiliary exhaust device is in the open state at this time, the speed of the auxiliary fan in the auxiliary exhaust device is increased to further increase the air circulation rate in the clothes dryer.

[0072] As shown in FIG3 , in some embodiments, the drying control method further includes:

[0073] S103: Control the working state of the indoor ventilation device where the clothes dryer is located according to the operating parameter information.

[0074] The indoor ventilation device is installed in the indoor environment where the clothes dryer is located. The indoor ventilation device has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to the outdoor environment, and the air outlet is connected to the indoor environment where the clothes dryer is located. When the air circulation rate in the drying device decreases, the indoor ventilation device can increase the air circulation rate in the indoor environment where the clothes dryer is located, indirectly increasing the air circulation rate between the indoor environment and the clothes dryer, thereby improving the drying performance of the drying device.

[0075] In some embodiments, a possible implementation of S103 is:

[0076] S1031. When the clothes drying temperature is greater than the set temperature, the ventilation fan in the indoor ventilation device is controlled to start working or the speed of the ventilation fan is increased.

[0077] The set temperature is the drying temperature of the drying chamber when the air circulation rate between the air inlet and the air outlet of the dryer is within a normal range.

[0078] When the drying temperature is higher than the set temperature, it indicates that hot air is trapped in the drying chamber because the air circulation rate in the dryer is lower than the set rate. If the ventilation fan in the indoor ventilation device is off at this time, the ventilation fan in the indoor ventilation device is controlled to start working to increase the air circulation rate in the dryer.

[0079] If the ventilation fan in the indoor ventilation device is in an on state at this time, the rotation speed of the ventilation fan in the indoor ventilation device is controlled to increase to further accelerate the air circulation rate in the clothes dryer.

[0080] In some embodiments, another possible implementation of S103 is:

[0081] S1032: When the wind pressure between the air inlet of the clothes dryer and the clothes drying chamber is greater than a second set wind pressure, the air exchange fan in the indoor air exchange device is controlled to start working or the speed of the air exchange fan is increased.

[0082] The second set wind pressure is the wind pressure between the drying chamber and the air inlet when the air circulation rate between the air inlet and the air outlet of the clothes dryer is normal.

[0083] When the wind pressure between the drying chamber and the air inlet exceeds the second set wind pressure, it indicates that there is a problem with the air flow in the air path between the drying chamber and the air inlet. If the air exchange fan in the indoor ventilation device is in the off state at this time, the air exchange fan in the indoor ventilation device is controlled to start operating to increase the air flow rate between the air inlet and the drying chamber.

[0084] If the air exchange fan in the indoor air exchange device is in the on state at this time, the speed of the air exchange fan in the indoor air exchange device is controlled to increase to further accelerate the air circulation rate between the air inlet and the clothes drying chamber.

[0085] As shown in FIG4 , in some embodiments, a possible implementation of S103 is:

[0086] S1033. When the drying temperature is greater than the set temperature and the wind pressure between the air inlet of the dryer and the drying chamber is greater than a second set wind pressure, control the ventilation fan in the indoor ventilation device to start working or increase the speed of the ventilation fan.

[0087] When the drying temperature is greater than the set temperature and the air pressure between the dryer's air inlet and the drying chamber is greater than a second set air pressure, it indicates that there is a problem with the air flow in the air path between the air inlet and the drying chamber. If the air exchange fan in the indoor ventilation device is in the off state at this time, the air exchange fan in the indoor ventilation device is controlled to start operating to increase the air circulation rate between the air inlet and the drying chamber. If the air exchange fan in the indoor ventilation device is in the on state at this time, the speed of the air exchange fan in the indoor ventilation device is controlled to increase to further increase the air circulation rate between the air inlet and the drying chamber.

[0088] Next, a drying device that implements the above-mentioned drying control method will be described.

[0089] As shown in FIG. 5 , the drying device provided in this embodiment may include: an acquisition module 21 and an exhaust control module 22 .

[0090] The acquisition module 21 is used to acquire operating parameter information of the clothes dryer during operation of the clothes dryer, and the operating parameter information includes the wind pressure of the air path inside the clothes dryer and the drying temperature of the clothes drying chamber.

[0091] The exhaust control module 22 is used to control the working state of the auxiliary exhaust device externally connected to the dryer according to the operating parameter information, wherein the air inlet of the auxiliary exhaust device is connected to the air outlet of the dryer, and the air outlet of the auxiliary exhaust device is connected to the outdoor environment.

[0092] In some embodiments, the exhaust control module 22 may include a first exhaust control module, which is used to control the auxiliary fan in the auxiliary exhaust device to start working or increase the speed of the auxiliary fan when the drying temperature is greater than the set temperature.

[0093] In some embodiments, the exhaust control module 22 may include a second exhaust control module, which is used to control the auxiliary fan in the auxiliary exhaust device to start working or increase the speed of the auxiliary fan when the wind pressure between the drying chamber and the air outlet is greater than the first set wind pressure.

[0103] The processor 31 may be a central processing unit (CPU), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or one or more integrated circuits configured to implement the embodiments of the present application.

The aforementioned storage medium includes various media capable of storing program code, such as read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), magnetic disk, or optical disk.

[0108] Referring to Figure 7, an embodiment of the present application also provides a drying device, including a dryer 100, a detection component 200, an auxiliary exhaust device 300 and a controller. The dryer 100 is arranged indoors. The dryer 100 includes a shell 110, a drying drum 120, a heating element 140 and a main fan 130. The shell 110 has an air inlet 111 and an air outlet 112.

[0109] The drying drum 120 and the main fan 130 are arranged in the shell 110. The drying drum 120 has a drying chamber 121, and the clothes to be dried are placed in the drying chamber 121. The side wall of the drying drum 120 is provided with an air inlet, and one axial end of the drying drum 120 has an air outlet.

[0110] The inlet of the main fan 130 faces the air inlet 111 , the outlet of the main fan 130 faces the air outlet 112 , and the heating element 140 is arranged between the air inlet 111 and the drying drum 120 , specifically, it can be arranged between the air inlet 111 and the air inlet of the drying drum 120 .

[0111] When the main fan 130 is working, the air in the indoor environment where the dryer 100 is located enters the shell 110 from the air inlet 111, is heated when passing through the heating element 140, and the hot air flows from the air inlet of the drying drum 120 to the drying chamber 121. When flowing through the surface of the clothes, it takes away the moisture on the surface of the clothes and is discharged to the outside of the shell 110 from the air outlet of the drying drum 120 and the air outlet 112 of the shell 110 in sequence.

[0112] The detection assembly 200 is disposed within the housing 110 and is configured to detect operating parameters of the dryer 100. The detection assembly 200 may include a wind pressure sensor 220 and / or a temperature sensor 210. The wind pressure sensor 220 may be disposed between the air inlet 111 and the air outlet 112. There may be at least one wind pressure sensor 220. When there is one wind pressure sensor 220, the wind pressure sensor 220 may be disposed between the drying drum 120 and the air outlet 112, or between the drying drum 120 and the air inlet 111. When there are two wind pressure sensors 220, one may be disposed between the drying drum 120 and the air outlet 112, and the other may be disposed between the drying drum 120 and the air inlet 111.

[0113] The temperature sensor 210 is used to detect the drying temperature of the clothes drying drum 120. The temperature sensor 210 can be set in the clothes drying chamber 121, so that the temperature in the clothes drying chamber 121 can be directly detected. The temperature sensor 210 can also be set outside the air inlet of the clothes drying drum 120, so that the temperature of the air before entering the clothes drying chamber 121 can be detected, which can also represent the drying temperature.

[0114] The auxiliary exhaust device 300 includes a connecting piece 310 and an auxiliary fan 320. The connecting piece 310 can be tubular. The auxiliary fan 320 is connected to the connecting piece 310. The connecting piece 310 has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to the air outlet 112, and the air outlet is connected to the outdoor environment.

[0115] The detection component 200 and the auxiliary fan 320 are both electrically connected to a controller, and the controller is configured to control the auxiliary fan 320 according to the parameter value detected by the detection component 200 .

[0116] Specifically, when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 210 is greater than the set temperature, and / or the wind pressure detected by the pressure sensor arranged between the drying drum 120 and the air outlet 112 is greater than the first set wind pressure, the controller controls the auxiliary fan 320 to start working or increase the speed.

[0117] When the drying temperature is greater than the set temperature and the wind pressure between the drying chamber 121 and the air outlet 112 is greater than the first set wind pressure, it indicates that the air flow in the dryer 100 between the drying chamber 121 and the air outlet 112 is not smooth. If the auxiliary exhaust device 300 is in the closed state at this time, the auxiliary fan 320 in the auxiliary exhaust device 300 is controlled to start operating to increase the air circulation rate within the dryer 100. If the auxiliary exhaust device 300 is in the open state at this time, the speed of the auxiliary fan 320 in the auxiliary exhaust device 300 is increased to further increase the air circulation rate within the dryer 100.

[0118] Furthermore, the drying device may also include an indoor ventilation device 400, which includes a connecting piece and an ventilation fan. The connecting piece may be tubular, and the connecting piece may have an air inlet end and an air outlet end. The air inlet end is connected to the outdoor environment, and the air outlet end is connected to the indoor environment where the dryer 100 is located. The ventilation fan is arranged on the connecting piece. When the ventilation fan is working, the air from the outdoor environment flows into the indoor environment where the dryer 100 is located through the connecting piece to speed up the ventilation rate of the indoor environment.

[0119] The air exchange fan is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is configured to control the air exchange fan according to the parameter value detected by the detection component 200 .

[0120] Specifically, when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 210 is greater than the set temperature, and / or the wind pressure detected by the pressure sensor arranged between the drying drum 120 and the air inlet 111 is greater than the second set wind pressure, the controller controls the air exchange fan to start working or increase the speed of the air exchange fan.

[0121] When the drying temperature is greater than the set temperature and the air pressure between the air inlet 111 and the drying chamber 121 of the dryer 100 is greater than the second set air pressure, it indicates that the air path between the air inlet 111 and the drying chamber 121 of the dryer 100 is not flowing smoothly. If the ventilation fan in the indoor ventilation device 400 is in the off state at this time, the ventilation fan in the indoor ventilation device 400 is controlled to start operating to increase the air circulation rate between the air inlet 111 and the drying chamber 121. If the ventilation fan in the indoor ventilation device 400 is in the on state at this time, the speed of the ventilation fan in the indoor ventilation device 400 is controlled to increase to further increase the air circulation rate between the air inlet 111 and the drying chamber 121.
