The control switch 60 includes a control unit 61 , an input element 62 and at least one display element 64 . The control unit 61 is connected to the controller 30, the humidity sensor 26, and the temperature sensor 28, and the input element 62 provides the user to input the preset temperature value, the preset value of humidity and the preset time for drying clothes according to the above-mentioned various climatic conditions. The control unit 61, the control unit 61 can receive the humidity information and temperature information of the humidity sensor 26 and the temperature sensor 28 to determine whether the humidity information and the temperature information are greater than or equal to or less than the temperature preset value or the humidity preset value, and The judgment result is transmitted to the controller 30 . The control unit 61 transmits the preset time for drying clothes to the controller 30, so that the controller 30 can judge whether the drying time is greater than or equal to or When the time is less than the preset time for drying clothes, the controller 30 performs various actions according to the information. In this embodiment, the display element 64 includes a temperature arrival indicator light (not shown in the figure) and a humidity arrival indicator light (not shown in the figure). When the control unit 61 determines that the temperature information of the surrounding environment sensed by the temperature sensor 28 is greater than or equal to the temperature preset value, the control unit 61 controls the temperature reaching indicator light to light up, and the control unit 61 transmits the external environment to the controller 30 with a high potential of 5V The information that the temperature has reached the preset value is provided for the controller 30 to determine that the temperature information is greater than or equal to the preset temperature value. On the contrary, when the control unit 61 determines that the temperature information of the surrounding environment has not reached the temperature preset value, the control unit 61 will not turn on the temperature reaching indicator of the display element 64, and transmits the ambient humidity temperature to the controller 30 with a low potential of 0V. The information reaching the preset value enables the controller 30 to determine that the temperature information is less than the preset temperature value. Likewise, humidity information works the same way. When the control unit 61 determines that the humidity information of the humidity sensor 26 is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, the control unit 61 controls the humidity arrival indicator to light up, and the control unit 61 sends a high voltage of 5V to the controller 30 to make the controller 30 determine the humidity The information is greater than or equal to the humidity preset value. On the contrary, the control unit 61 judges that the humidity information of the humidity sensor 26 is less than the humidity preset value, the control unit 61 will not make the humidity arrival indicator light of the display element 64 light up, and the control unit 61 transmits the low voltage of 0V to the controller 30, The controller 30 is made to determine that the humidity information is less than the preset humidity value. The controller 30 judges various modes according to the above-mentioned temperature and humidity information to determine which response mode to execute.

After the structure of the present embodiment is described, the operating embodiment of the present embodiment will be described in detail next. In this embodiment, the controller 30 includes five judgment modes for assisting the action of drying clothes, and the corresponding logic is designed based on the combination of whether the temperature and humidity reach the set value. Therefore, whether the temperature and humidity have reached the set value can be simply expressed in the form of a combination of digits: "1" means that the set value is reached and is transmitted to the controller 30 with a high potential of 5V; while "0" means that the set value is not reached and a low potential is used. 0V is passed to the controller 30 . Therefore, four different logics can be obtained, the temperature signal is in the front, and the humidity signal is in the back, which are respectively (1 0), (0 1), (1 1), (0 0) four groups. in addition, Distinguished by exposure time, (10) is also divided into sub-modes of "sufficient exposure time" or "insufficient exposure time". Therefore, there are 5 judgment modes of 2+3 auxiliary clothes drying.

In this embodiment, the controller 30 determines whether the current temperature and humidity reaches the user's preset temperature and humidity value for the specified season, so as to respond to the drying device 40 using an electric fan for air drying, electric clothes drying, and ultraviolet disinfection. .

According to the implementation of the five modes established above, the details are as follows. The first mode (temperature 1, humidity 0), the exposure time is sufficient: by controlling the control switch 60, the control unit 61 is set to the temperature preset value of 30°C in summer and autumn/15°C in winter and spring, and the humidity preset value is 90% in summer and autumn / 65% in winter and spring, when the control unit 61 determines that the temperature information is greater than or equal to the preset temperature value set above, and the humidity information is less than the preset humidity value, the control unit 61 transmits the determined information to the controller 30, so that the controller 30 When determining that the temperature information is greater than or equal to a predetermined temperature value, the humidity information is less than a predetermined humidity value, and the controller 30 determines that the drying time information is greater than or equal to a predetermined drying time, it represents entering the first mode.

Next, please refer to FIG. 4 to illustrate an embodiment of the first mode of operation. First, when the value of the light source information sensed by the light sensor 23 is greater than or equal to the preset value of the light source, the controller 30 controls the motor 180 of the driver 18 of the hanger 14 to rotate forward, so that the telescopic rod 182 extends outward, so that the hanger 14 is not The direction of the awning moves to the first position sensor 50 . The first position sensor 50 generates a first position signal and transmits it to the controller 30. After the controller 30 receives the signal from the first position sensor 50, the controller 30 controls the motor 180 to stop running and activates the time sensor 24 to do In order to calculate the time after the hanger 14 is extended to the position, it is taken as the time for the clothes to be exposed to the sun.

Please refer to the fifth picture. At this time, the controller 30 can receive the information (temperature 1, humidity 0) transmitted by the control unit 61, and determine whether the drying time is greater than or equal to a preset time for drying clothes, and whether the drying time of the controller 30 set in this embodiment is sufficient. The default standard value is 6 hours. If the signal received by the controller 30 from the control unit 61 complies with the temperature information being greater than or equal to the temperature default value, the humidity When the humidity information is less than the preset humidity value, and the drying time information is greater than or equal to 6 hours, the controller 30 controls the motor 180 ′ of the driver 18 ′ of the unloading rack 16 to rotate forward, so that the telescopic rod 182 ′ is extended to drive the unloading rack 16 Move to the second position sensor 52 . After the second position sensor 52 transmits the position information back, the controller 30 controls the motor 180' to stop operating.

When the value of the light source information sensed by the light sensor 23 is smaller than the preset value of the light source, that is, there is no sunlight, or when it is raining, the rain sensor 22 sends rain information, the controller 30 will control the driver 18 to make the hanger 14 motor 180 Reverse and retract the telescopic rod 182, so that the hanger 14 begins to retract into the canopy. When the hanger 14 begins to retract to the first position sensor 50 ′, the tail ends of the longer force-applying portions 148 of the clamps 142 on the hanger 14 will be stretched out and waiting to be unloaded. The unloading rod 164 of the hanger 16 is pushed to produce a lever action, and then the clamping portion 149 is easily opened to form the unloading effect of loosening the clothes, so that the clothes originally hung on the hanger 14 are dropped into the clothes basket.

The second mode (temperature 1, humidity 0), insufficient exposure time: through the control switch 60, the preset temperature is set to 30°C in summer and autumn / 15°C in winter and spring, and the preset humidity is 90% in summer and autumn / 65 in winter and spring %. The control unit 61 determines that the temperature information is greater than or equal to the temperature preset value, and the humidity information is less than the humidity preset value, and transmits the information to the controller 30, so that the controller 30 determines that the temperature information is greater than or equal to the temperature preset value, and the humidity information is less than the humidity. The default value, and the drying time information is less than the preset drying time, it means entering the second mode. As long as the temperature reaches the preset value for the designated season, the humidity does not reach the preset value for the designated season, and the exposure time is insufficient, the controller 30 determines to enter this mode.

Next, an operation example of the second mode will be described. When the light sensor 23 senses that the value of the light source information is greater than or equal to the preset value of the light source, it controls the hanger 14 to move to the outside without the awning, and starts to calculate the drying time. The process is the same as the above, so it will not be repeated. narrative.

At the same time, the controller 30 can receive the information (temperature 1, humidity 0) transmitted by the control unit 61, so that the controller 30 judges that the temperature information is greater than or equal to the temperature preset value, the humidity information is less than the humidity preset value, and the drying time is less than or equal to For a preset time for drying clothes, the controller 30 drives the second mode. Then, when the hanger 14 is extended to expose the clothes, the exposure time is less than 6 hours due to rain or cloudy weather, such as thunderstorms in the afternoon in summer or the sky is dark and rainy. That is, the controller 30 determines that the rain information that the rain sensor 22 will sense, or the light source information sensed by the light sensor 23 is less than the preset value of the light source, the controller 30 will directly let the driver 18 drive the motor 180 The telescopic rod 182 is retracted, but does not make the drive 18' act first to make the clothes unloading rack 16 extend to the position, but starts to activate the clothes drying device 40 for a predetermined time after the clothes hanging rack 14 retracts to the position sensor 50' , the example in this embodiment is one hour. In this embodiment, the clothes drying device 40 is an electric fan.
