Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the control method of the clothes dryer of the present invention includes: acquiring the water content of clothes; according to the water content of the clothes, the dehydration treatment before drying is selectively prompted. The method comprises the steps of detecting the moisture content of clothes through a clothes moisture content tester, or obtaining the moisture content through calculation, for example, weighing wet clothes to obtain wet weight, then obtaining clothes materials, obtaining average density of the clothes according to the clothes materials, obtaining dry weight of the clothes according to the average density of the clothes and the volume of the clothes, then calculating a difference value between the wet weight and the dry weight, and dividing the difference value by the wet weight to obtain the moisture content of the clothes. In addition, the mode of prompting the user to carry out the pre-drying water treatment can be a voice mode prompt, a buzzing mode prompt, a display panel of the clothes dryer can display the prompt, or the clothes dryer can send information prompt to a control terminal (such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer and the like) in communication interaction with the clothes dryer, and a mode of prompting the user to carry out the pre-drying water treatment can be flexibly set in practical application by a person skilled in the art, and the adjustment and the change of the prompting mode do not form limitation on the invention and are all limited in the protection scope of the invention. It should be noted that, the pre-drying dehydration treatment may be a user wringing treatment, or may be a spin-drying treatment of spin-drying equipment (such as a spin-dryer, a washing machine, etc.), and those skilled in the art may flexibly set a specific manner of the pre-drying dehydration treatment in practical application, or the dryer may not only prompt the user to perform the pre-drying wringing treatment, but also prompt the user to perform the pre-drying spin-drying treatment, and the user may flexibly set whether the dryer prompts the pre-drying wringing treatment or the pre-drying spin-drying treatment in combination with the situation in his home. The technical scheme of the invention is further described below in conjunction with three embodiments.
Example 1
The step of selectively prompting the pre-drying dehydration treatment according to the water content of the clothes comprises the following steps: and if the water content of the clothes is larger than the standard water content, prompting to carry out the wringing treatment, wherein the standard water content is the wringing water content. In this embodiment, if the user does not have the spin-drying apparatus at home, it may be set that the dryer determines whether to prompt the user to perform the pre-drying spin-drying operation only according to the water content of the laundry, and when the water content of the laundry is greater than the spin-drying water content, it indicates that the user may reduce the water content of the laundry by further wringing the laundry, and then in order to achieve the time-saving power saving, the dryer prompts the user to perform the spin-drying, and the user may take out the laundry from the dryer and then twist down the laundry so that a part of the water in the laundry can be wrung out, and then put into the dryer after the wringing, at this time, the water content of the laundry may be continuously acquired, and if the water content of the laundry is still greater than the spin-drying water content, prompt is continuously performed. Preferably, the step of selectively prompting the pre-drying dehydration treatment according to the water content of the clothes further comprises: if the water content of the clothes is less than or equal to the standard water content, the wringing treatment is not prompted. That is, if the water content of the laundry reaches the wringing water content, it is indicated that the user wrings sufficiently, and it is difficult to wring out water again when the laundry is wringed again, and at this time, the dryer does not prompt the user to perform the wringing process before drying, and the user can select to start the drying program, or the dryer starts the drying program by itself.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the wringing water content may be detected by a clothing water content tester or indirectly calculated, and in a possible case, before the step of "selectively prompting the pre-drying water removal treatment according to the water content of the clothing", the control method of the present invention further includes: acquiring the material of clothes; and determining the wringing water content according to the material of the clothes. Similarly to the above, the wet laundry after wringing may be weighed to obtain a wringing wet weight, then the laundry material is obtained, the average density of the laundry is obtained according to the laundry material, then the dry weight of the laundry is obtained according to the average density of the laundry and the volume of the laundry, then the difference between the wringing wet weight and the dry weight is calculated, and then the difference is divided from the wringing wet weight to obtain the wringing moisture content. Of course, in practical application, the person skilled in the art can also calibrate the corresponding wringing water content in advance according to the material of the clothes, then pre-store the wringing water content of each material in the controller of the clothes dryer, when the user uses the clothes dryer, the clothes dryer can directly detect the material of the clothes, or the user inputs the material of the clothes to the clothes dryer, and the clothes dryer directly adjusts the corresponding wringing water content through the material of the clothes.
Example two
The step of selectively prompting the pre-drying dehydration treatment according to the water content of the clothes comprises the following steps: and if the water content of the clothes is larger than the standard water content, prompting spin-drying treatment, wherein the standard water content is the spin-drying water content. In this embodiment, if the user's home has the spin-drying apparatus, it may be set that the dryer decides whether to prompt the user to perform the pre-drying spin-drying operation based on only the water content of the laundry, and when the water content of the laundry is greater than the spin-drying water content, it is explained that the user may further spin-dry the laundry by the spin-drying apparatus to reduce the water content of the laundry, and then in order to achieve time and electricity saving (it is to be noted that the spin-drying apparatus employs mechanical spin-drying, less electric energy is consumed as compared with the drying apparatus for heating and drying), the dryer prompts the user to perform spin-drying, and the user may take the laundry out of the dryer and then put it into the spin-drying apparatus so that a part of the water in the laundry may be thrown out, and put it into the dryer after the spin-drying, and the dryer may continue to acquire the water content of the laundry at this time, and if it is still greater than the water content, prompt is continued. It should be noted that spin-drying laundry does not completely remove water from the laundry, and thus, drying by the dryer is ultimately required. Preferably, the step of "selectively prompting the pre-drying water removal treatment according to the water content of the laundry" further includes: if the water content of the clothes is less than or equal to the standard water content, the spin-drying treatment is not prompted. That is, if the moisture content of the laundry reaches the spin-drying moisture content, it is indicated that the spin-drying apparatus spin-dries sufficiently, and it is difficult to spin water again after spin-drying the laundry, and at this time, the dryer does not prompt the user for spin-drying before drying, and the user may select to start the drying process, or the dryer may start the drying process by itself.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the spin-drying moisture content may be detected by a clothing moisture content tester or may be indirectly calculated, and in a possible case, before the step of "selectively prompting the pre-drying dehydration treatment according to the moisture content of the clothing", the control method of the present invention further includes: acquiring the material of clothes; and determining the spin-drying water content according to the material of the clothes. Similarly to the foregoing, the wet laundry after spin-drying may be weighed to obtain a spin-drying wet weight, then a laundry material is obtained, an average density of the laundry is obtained according to the laundry material, then a dry weight of the laundry is obtained according to the average density of the laundry and a volume of the laundry, then a difference between the spin-drying wet weight and the dry weight is calculated, and then the difference is divided from the spin-drying wet weight to obtain a spin-drying moisture content. Of course, in practical application, the person skilled in the art can also calibrate the corresponding spin-drying water content in advance according to the material of the clothes, then pre-store the spin-drying water content of each material in the controller of the clothes dryer, when the user uses the clothes dryer, the clothes dryer can directly detect the material of the clothes, or the user inputs the material of the clothes to the clothes dryer, and the clothes dryer directly adjusts the corresponding spin-drying water content through the material of the clothes.
Example III
The step of selectively prompting the pre-drying dehydration treatment according to the water content of the clothes comprises the following steps: if the water content of the clothes is larger than the first standard water content, prompting to carry out wringing treatment; if the water content of the clothes is smaller than or equal to the first standard water content and larger than the second standard water content, the spin-drying treatment is prompted, wherein the first standard water content is the wringing water content, the second standard water content is the spin-drying water content, and the wringing water content is larger than the spin-drying water content. In this embodiment, if the user's home has the spin-drying apparatus, it may be set that the dryer judges whether to prompt the user to perform the pre-drying spin-drying operation or the spin-drying operation according to the water content of the laundry, and in normal circumstances, the water content of the laundry after the user wrings spin-drying is higher than the water content of the spin-drying apparatus, therefore, when the water content of the laundry is greater than the wring water content, it is indicated that the user may reduce the water content of the laundry by performing the wring-drying operation on the laundry, and at this time, in order to achieve the time-saving power saving, the dryer prompts the user to perform the wring-drying, and the user may take the laundry out of the dryer and then twist down a few times so that a part of the water in the laundry can be wrung out, and then put into the dryer after wring-out, and at this time, the dryer may continue to acquire the water content of the laundry, and if still greater than the wring water content. When the water content of the clothes is smaller than or equal to the wringing water content and larger than the spin-drying water content, the user wrings the clothes sufficiently, the clothes are difficult to wring out water again, but the water content of the clothes can still be further reduced by spin-drying through the spin-drying equipment, the user is prompted to spin-dry at the moment, the user can take the clothes out of the clothes dryer and put the clothes into the spin-drying equipment again, so that part of water in the clothes can be thrown out, the clothes are put into the clothes dryer after the water is thrown out, the clothes can continue to acquire the water content of the clothes at the moment, and if the water content is still larger than the spin-drying water content, the prompt is continued. Preferably, the step of "selectively prompting the pre-drying water removal treatment according to the water content of the laundry" further includes: if the water content of the clothes is smaller than or equal to the second standard water content, the wringing treatment is not prompted, and the spin-drying treatment is not prompted. That is, no matter the user is screwed or the spin-drying device is spin-dried, the water content of the clothes cannot be further reduced, and the clothes dryer does not prompt the user to perform the pre-drying spin-drying treatment and the spin-drying treatment any more, so that the user can select to start the drying program or the clothes dryer can start the drying program by itself.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, similarly to the embodiment, the wringing water content may be detected by a clothing water content tester or may be calculated indirectly, and in one possible case, before the step of "selectively prompting the pre-drying water treatment according to the water content of the clothing", the control method of the present invention further includes: acquiring the material of clothes; and determining the wringing water content according to the material of the clothes. Similarly to the above, the wet laundry after wringing may be weighed to obtain a wringing wet weight, then the laundry material is obtained, the average density of the laundry is obtained according to the laundry material, then the dry weight of the laundry is obtained according to the average density of the laundry and the volume of the laundry, then the difference between the wringing wet weight and the dry weight is calculated, and then the difference is divided from the wringing wet weight to obtain the wringing moisture content. Of course, in practical application, the person skilled in the art can also calibrate the corresponding wringing water content in advance according to the material of the clothes, then pre-store the wringing water content of each material in the controller of the clothes dryer, when the user uses the clothes dryer, the clothes dryer can directly detect the material of the clothes, or the user inputs the material of the clothes to the clothes dryer, and the clothes dryer directly adjusts the corresponding wringing water content through the material of the clothes.
In addition, it should be noted that, in this embodiment, similarly to the embodiment, the spin-drying water content may be detected by a clothing water content tester or may be calculated indirectly, and in a possible case, before the step of "selectively prompting the pre-drying water removal treatment according to the water content of the clothing", the control method of the present invention further includes: acquiring the material of clothes; and determining the spin-drying water content according to the material of the clothes. Similarly to the foregoing, the wet laundry after spin-drying may be weighed to obtain a spin-drying wet weight, then a laundry material is obtained, an average density of the laundry is obtained according to the laundry material, then a dry weight of the laundry is obtained according to the average density of the laundry and a volume of the laundry, then a difference between the spin-drying wet weight and the dry weight is calculated, and then the difference is divided from the spin-drying wet weight to obtain a spin-drying moisture content. Of course, in practical application, the person skilled in the art can also calibrate the corresponding spin-drying water content in advance according to the material of the clothes, then pre-store the spin-drying water content of each material in the controller of the clothes dryer, when the user uses the clothes dryer, the clothes dryer can directly detect the material of the clothes, or the user inputs the material of the clothes to the clothes dryer, and the clothes dryer directly adjusts the corresponding spin-drying water content through the material of the clothes.
In the first to third embodiments, the manner of detecting the material quality of the laundry by the dryer may be that the RFID identification module is used to identify the material quality of the laundry, at this time, the manner of detecting the material quality of the laundry by the dryer may also be that the image acquisition is performed on the laundry by the image acquisition device, then the controller of the dryer analyzes and processes the image information transmitted by the image acquisition device, and then determines the material quality of the laundry, so that those skilled in the art may flexibly set a specific manner of detecting the material quality of the laundry by the dryer in practical application, and the adjustment and the change of the specific manner of detecting the material quality of the laundry do not constitute limitations of the present invention, which should be limited in the scope of protection of the present invention.
Preferably, the step of "obtaining the water content of the laundry" specifically includes: judging whether a door body of the clothes dryer is opened or not in a preset time; if the door body of the clothes dryer is not opened all the time within the preset time, the water content of the clothes is obtained. That is, before the clothes dryer acquires the water content of the clothes, a certain decision time is given to the user, at this time, the clothes dryer waits first, if the user opens the door within a preset time, which means that the user wants to dry the clothes by the water before drying treatment or does not want to dry the clothes by the clothes dryer, the clothes dryer does not acquire the water content of the clothes, if the user does not open the door within the preset time, which means that the user needs to dry the clothes by the clothes dryer, but the water content of the clothes is not clear, at this time, the clothes dryer needs to acquire the water content of the clothes, and then corresponding judgment is performed. The preset time may be 30 seconds, or one minute, or two minutes, and a specific time value of the preset time may be flexibly set by a person skilled in the art in practical application, and such adjustment and change of the specific time value of the preset time should not limit the present invention, and should not be limited in the scope of the present invention.
In addition, in the invention, the judgment of the water content of the clothes before drying can be set to be automatically opened when the clothes dryer leaves a factory, and the clothes dryer can be automatically closed in the process of using the clothes dryer by a user, so that the multi-aspect use requirements of the user are met.
