其中,对空调本体1的结构和类型并不做限制,可以是壁挂式空调或者立式空调或者窗式空调。凡是具有壳体,在壳体上设置进风口和出风口的空调本体1增加待晾干物放置结构和出风组件,均在本发明的保护范围之内。
本实施例以空调本体为壁挂式空调为例进行说明。
空调本体1包括壳体11、位于壳体11上的进风口12和出风口13、位于壳体11内的换热器、风机、风道、接水盘等(图中未示出)。
壳体11形成空调本体1的外形结构。
进风口12位于壳体11上,在风机运行时,壳体1外部的空气通过进风口12进入壳体1内。
出风口13位于壳体11上,在风机运行时,壳体1内部的空气通过出风口13排出壳体11。
风机位于壳体11内,风机一般位于壳体11内的风道内。
换热器位于壳体11内的空气流动通道上,可以产生制冷或制热效果,用于对流经其的气流进行加热或冷却。
接水盘用于承接换热器产生的冷凝水。
本实施例空调器的关键在于如下三部分:
1、可以实现升降功能的待晾干物放置结构。
2、可以实现收缩至出风口或者伸出出风口并将出风口的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构的出风组件。
3、与出风组件同步实现伸出功能并且可以大角度摆风的导风板。
下面对上述三部分进行具体说明:
1、可以实现升降功能的待晾干物放置结构。
待晾干物放置结构用于放置待晾干物。
其中,待晾干物一般为衣物、毛巾、鞋、帽等生活用品,当然,也可以是其他需要晾干的物品。
待晾干物放置结构能够承载待晾干物,本实施例以晾衣架2为例进行说明。
本实施例的晾衣架2包括用于承载衣物的晾衣部21和位于晾衣部21两端的连接部22,连接部22用于与壳体11连接。晾衣部21和两端的连接部22形成U形。
为了使得晾衣部21尽可能的靠近出风口13,并且利于晾衣架2与壳体11的安装,本实施例的连接部22为L形,包括呈一定角度的第一部和第二部,第一部与壳体11连接,第二部与晾衣部21连接。其中,第一部与壳体11连接的部位靠近壳体11的后壁。
本实施例中,由于空调本体1为壁挂式空调,出风口13位于壳体11前面板的下部,因而,将晾衣架2设置于壳体11的下方,以便使得晾衣架2尽可能的靠近出风口13。另外,晾衣架2位于壳体11的下方还可避免空调占用水平方向的室内空间,使得室内空间得到更加合理的应用。
优选的,空调器包括待晾干物放置结构驱动模块,用于驱动待晾干物放置结构-晾衣架2靠近或者远离壳体11。
在空调器不需要晾干功能时,待晾干物放置结构驱动模块带动晾衣架2靠近壳体11(升高),以减小晾衣架2的空间占用。
在空调器需要晾干功能时,待晾干物放置结构驱动模块带动晾衣架2远离壳体11(下降),以便在晾衣架2上放置待晾干物,同时方便出风组件的出风吹向晾衣架2。
本实施例中,晾衣架2可升降的设置在壳体11上,在需要晾干衣物时 ,将晾衣架2下降,不需要连杆衣物时,将晾衣架2升高。
待晾干物放置结构驱动模块与连接部22的第一部连接,用于驱动晾衣架动作。
待晾干物放置结构驱动模块安装在壳体11内,在壳体11上开有供连接部22的第一部穿过的开口。
具体的,待晾干物放置结构驱动模块包括第一驱动电机23和第一驱动齿轮24;第一驱动电机23带动第一驱动齿轮24转动。在晾衣架2的连接部22的第一部上形成齿条25,第一驱动齿轮24与齿条25啮合。因而,第一驱动电机23正向转动时,带动第一驱动齿轮24正向转动,带动齿条25向下移动,从而使得晾衣部21远离壳体11至晾衣位置。为了防止晾衣架2完全与壳体11脱离,在第一部上和壳体11内设置有防止第一部从壳体11脱离的限位部26。第一驱动电机23反向转动时,带动第一驱动齿轮24反向转动,带动齿条25向上移动,从而使得晾衣部21靠近壳体11至缩回位置。
本实施例中待晾干物放置结构驱动模块包括两组,分别与两个连接部22的齿条25联动。也即,第一驱动电机23具有两个,第一驱动齿轮24具有两个,此种方式可以提高晾衣架2运行的稳定性。
本实施例的放置衣服的晾衣架2采用齿轮齿条升降机构,用户有衣服需要晾干时,第一驱动电机23转动齿轮齿条结构带动晾衣部21下降,下降到最低位置时通过限位部限位防止晾衣架2从壳体11掉落,将衣物放置在晾衣架2上,并通过空调本体1工作,加速衣物的晾干。在衣物晾干后,用户收取衣服之后,第一驱动齿轮24带动晾衣部21升高。
优选的,在待晾干物放置结构还上设置有杀菌模块和/或加热模块。
杀菌模块用于对待晾干物进行杀菌处理。杀菌模块可采用UV光杀菌模块。
加热模块用于对待晾干物进行加热,以进一步提高晾干效率。加热模块优选为加热条,可以辅助加热并烘干衣物。
加热模块一般设置在晾衣部21的下侧。
2、可以实现收缩至出风口或者伸出出风口并将出风口的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构的出风组件。
出风组件用于收缩至出风口13(如图6所示)或者伸出出风口13并将出风口13的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构(如图7所示)。
具体的,出风组件收缩至出风口13时,出风组件对空调本体1而言没有任何影响,空调本体1能够实现正常空调功能的出风,空调本体1接收空调运行模式信号和设定温度、设定风速档位信号,空调本体1按照接收的信号运行,空调壳体11内的空气通过出风口13排出空调壳体11,对空调本体所处环境进行温度、湿度调节。出风组件伸出出风口13时,出风组件的出风朝向待晾干物放置结构,将出风口13的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构,空调壳体11内的空气通过出风口13和出风组件吹至待晾干物放置结构上的待晾干物,加速待晾干物的晾干,此时,若用户需求制热或者没有制冷需求时,优选空调本体运行制热模式,以最大程度提高晾干效率。在用户处于有制冷需求状态时,为了避免空调本体制热对用户舒适度造成不利影响,一般空调本体处于送风模式。
下面对出风组件的结构进行具体说明:
出风组件包括出风框31、软连接结构32和出风框驱动模块。
出风框31为硬质框状结构,出风框31与出风口13的大小相适配或者略大于出风口13的大小,因而,出风组件在收缩至出风口13的状态时,出风框31的内口与出风口13对齐或者位于出风口13的外缘,出风组件不会遮挡出风口13,不会影响空调本体1的正常出风状态。
本实施例中,出风框31围成一个长条状的区域,出风框31包括两条长边和两条短边。出风框31的形状与出风口13所在位置处的壳体形状相适配,本实施例中,长边为直线,短边为弧线。
由于出风组件中,只有出风框31为硬质结构,因而,驱动模块用于驱动出风框31收缩至出风口13或者伸出出风口13。
为了保证出风框31收缩或伸出动作的稳定性,同时保证每次伸出后的位置确定,均能够朝向晾衣架2,优选的,出风框31可转动地安装在壳体11上。
一般的,出风框31的端部通过转轴可转动地安装在壳体11上,进一步的,出风框31的短边可转动的安装在壳体11上。本实施例中,为了尽可能大的伸出出风框31,在短边与长边交接的位置设置有转轴,或者在短边靠近长边的位置设置有转轴。由于晾衣架2位于壳体11的下方,因而,转轴位于出风组件缩回至出风口13状态时短边位置较低的一端,这样,出风组件在伸出出风口13时,出风框31为绕位置较低的长边摆动的状态,直至出风框31朝向晾衣架2的方向。
优选的,出风框的摆动角度为20-30度,进一步的,摆动角度为25度。
软连接结构32用于连接出风框31和出风口13,以使出风组件伸出出风口13时,出风框31和出风口13之间形成一个封闭通道,使得出风口13处的气流传导至出风框31。
软连接结构32为具有弹性的材质或者软体材质,在出风框31伸出出风口13时,软连接结构32被拉伸,处于拉伸状态,在出风框32复位至出风口13处时,软连接结构32恢复正常状态。
优选的,软连接结构32为风琴式结构,在出风框31伸出出风口13时,风琴式结构伸展,在出风框32回收至出风口13时,风琴式结构收缩。
本实施例采用风琴式结构不仅能够保证出风框31收缩至出风口13时,风琴式结构收缩后形状的规整,均位于出风框31与出风口13外缘的壳体11之间,避免软连接结构对出风口13的出风造成遮挡,最为重要的是,风琴式结构还可以减小出风框31伸出和收缩至出风口13动作时的阻力,避免软体连接结构32的过度拉伸和磨损,延长软体连接结构32的使用寿命。
本实施例通过驱动模块驱动出风组件收缩或伸出出风口13,具体的,驱动模块包括第二驱动电机33、第二驱动齿轮34和驱动连杆35。
驱动模块位于壳体11内。
第二驱动电机33带动第二驱动齿轮34转动。
驱动连杆35与第二驱动齿轮34固定连接,驱动连杆35所在方向与第二驱动齿轮34的半径所在方向同向。
驱动连杆35的自由端与出风框31滑动式连接。
具体的,在出风框31与壳体11的相对侧设置有转动滑槽(图中未示出),驱动连杆35的自由端具有转轴,转轴位于转动滑槽内,驱动杆35的自由端的转轴被限制在转动滑槽内,并能够沿转动滑槽转动和滑动。
本实施例中,驱动模块包括两组,分别与出风框31的两个短边装配。也即,第二驱动电机33具有两个,第二驱动齿轮34具有两个,驱动连杆35具有两个,此种方式可以提高出风框31动作的稳定性。
驱动模块驱动出风组件伸出出风口13时,第二驱动电机33正向转动,带动第二驱动齿轮34正向转动,带动驱动连杆35正向转动,驱动连杆35的自由端在出风框31的转动滑槽内转动和滑动,从而拨动出风框31绕自身的转轴向下摆动,远离壳体11,软体连接结构32伸展开,直至出风框31朝向晾衣架2,第二驱动电机33停止转动,此时,形成出风组件伸出出风口13的状态,出风口13的出风可以经过软体连接结构32导向至出风框31,按照出风框31的方向出风,将空调本体1的出风导向至晾衣架2。
驱动模块驱动出风组件收缩至风口13时,第二驱动电机33反向转动,带动第二驱动齿轮34反向转动,带动驱动连杆35反向转动,驱动连杆35的自由端在出风框31的转动滑槽内转动和滑动,从而拨动出风框31绕自身的转轴向上摆动,靠近壳体11,软体连接结构32收缩,直至出风框31完全收缩至出风口13外缘的壳体11上,软体连接结构32被夹在出风框31和出风口13外缘的壳体11上,第二驱动电机33停止转动,此时,形成出风组件收缩至出风口13的状态,由于出风框31和软体连接结构32均位于出风口13的外缘的壳体11上,因而,出风组件不会对出风口13造成任何遮挡,不会影响空调本体1的正常出风。
3、与出风组件同步实现伸出功能并且可以大角度摆风的导风板。
为了实现空调本体1出风方向的调节,本实施例的空调器还包括导风板41,导风板41用于对空调本体1的出风方向进行调节,以满足用户的出风方向要求。
进一步的,在空调器处于晾衣状态下,由于衣物的大小长度不同,或者衣物的晾干位置不同,或者为了提高晾干效率,因而,也需要调节空调本体的出风方向。
为了满足上述两种情况均需要对出风方向进行调整的需求,本实施例优选在出风框31上安装导风板41,在出风组件伸出出风口31时,导风板41同时伸出出风口31,在出风框31处摆动,对出风框的出风进行导向,实现出风方向的调节;在出风组件回收至出风口31时,在出风框31处摆动,对出风框的出风也即对出风口31的出风进行导向,实现出风方向的调节。
本实施例进一步设置导风板驱动模块,用于驱动导风板41转动,以调节出风方向。
具体的,导风板驱动模块包括第三驱动电机42,第三驱动电机42与导风板41联动,第三驱动电机42可直接与导风板41连接或者通过齿轮或齿轮组件与导风板41连接。
具体的,在出风框31的内侧设置有电机安装座43,第三驱动电机42固定安装在电机安装座43上。
第三驱动电机42可带动导风板41连续摆动或者将导风板41调节至某一固定出风位置。
第三驱动电机42可带动导风板41转动至关闭出风框31的状态,以保证空调器关机时,出风口13处于关闭状态。
空调器关闭时,出风组件收缩至出风口13;导风板41位于关闭出风框31的状态;待晾干物放置结构靠近壳体11。空调器需要运行空调模式时(制冷模式、制热模式或者除湿模式等),出风组件收缩至出风口13;导风板41打开,可对出风口13处的出风进行导向,以满足用户的出风需求;待晾干物放置结构靠近壳体11。空调器需要晾干衣物时,待晾干物放置结构打开远离壳体,可以放置待晾干物;出风组件伸出出风口13并将出风口13的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构,气流最终从出风框31吹出;导风板41打开,可对出风框31处的出风进行导向,以满足用户的晾衣需求。
如图8所示,本实施例的空调器还进一步包括信号接收模块和控制模块。
信号接收模块,用于接收空调模式信号或者晾干模式信号。
控制模块用于在接收空调模式(制热模式、制冷模式或者除湿模式等)信号时控制出风组件收缩至出风口,控制空调本体按照空调模式信号对应的模式运行。
控制模块用于在接收晾干模式信号时,控制出风组件伸出出风口并将出风口的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构,控制空调本体运行制热模式或者送风模式。接收晾干模式信号时说明待晾干物放置结构上放置待晾干物,空调壳体11内的空气通过出风口13和出风组件吹至待晾干物放置结构上的待晾干物,加速待晾干物的晾干,此时,若用户需求制热或者没有制冷需求时,优选空调本体运行制热模式,以最大程度提高晾干效率。在用户处于有制冷需求状态时,为了避免空调本体制热对用户舒适度造成不利影响,一般空调本体处于送风模式。
控制模块还用于在接收晾干模式信号时控制待晾干物放置结构远离壳体至设定距离,以利于出风组件出风至待晾干物放置结构上。
控制模块还用于在接收晾干模式信号时,控制导风板处于摆动状态,以便于全面均衡的晾干待晾干物。
空调器进一步包括室内温度检测模块,用于检测室内温度。
控制模块还用于获取接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态;用于在接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态为制冷模式或除湿模式时,接收晾干模式信号后控制空调本体运行送风模式;用于在接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态为制热模式时,接收晾干模式信号后控制空调本体运行制热模式;用于在接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态为待机或者关机时,接收晾干模式信号后检测室内温度,在室内温度大于设定温度时,控制空调本体运行送风模式,在室内温度小于等于设定温度时,控制空调本体运行送风模式或者制热模式或者制热模式和送风模式定时切换或者运行制热模式设定时间后运行送风模式。
控制模块还用于在接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态为制冷模式或除湿模式时,在接收晾干模式信号后,控制空调本体在送风模式和接收晾干模式信号之前的运行状态之间定时切换。
本实施例还提出了一种空调器的控制方法:
所述空调器的控制方法为:
接收空调模式信号,控制出风组件收缩至出风口,控制空调本体按照空调模式信号对应的模式运行。其中,空调模式信号包括制冷模式信号、制热模式信号和除湿模式信号等。此种模式满足用户使用空调的需求。
同时,空调器在接收模式信号后还可接收设定温度信号、风速信号和风向信号等,空调本体还根据设定温度和室内温度控制压缩机的转速、根据设定风速控制风机的转速,根据风向设定信号控制导风板的角度。
接收晾干模式信号,控制出风组件伸出出风口并将出风口的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构;控制空调本体运行制热模式或者送风模式。此种模式满足用户晾干待晾干物的需求,同时也尽量兼顾用户使用空调的需求。
由于晾干模式时,空调本体运行会对室内环境产生一定的影响,为了避免对用户产生过多的影响,本实施例优选获取接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态,根据接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态控制接收晾干模式信号之后空调本体的运行状态。
具体的,获取接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态,其中,空调本体的运行状态包括制冷模式、除湿模式、制热模式、待机或者关机状态。一般将空调本体的运行状态进行记录,在接收晾干模式信号之前,读取记录的接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态。
在接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态为制冷模式或除湿模式时,在接收晾干模式信号后,控制出风组件伸出出风口并将出风口的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构,控制空调本体运行送风模式。此种方式一方面可以保证用户的舒适性,另一方面还可避免冷风造成的晾干速度变慢、晾干物表面凝水等问题。优选的,控制空调本体的风机处于高风挡位,以加快待晾干物的晾干速度。
在接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态为制热模式时,在接收晾干模式信号后,控制出风组件伸出出风口并将出风口的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构,控制空调本体运行制热模式。优选的,接收晾干模式信号前后,空调本体运行制热模式的状态(设定温度、设定风速)保持不变,以优先满足用户制热舒适需求,在满足用户制热舒适需求的前提下,对衣物进行晾干。
在接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态为待机或者关机时,在接收晾干模式信号后,检测室内温度,在室内温度大于设定温度时,控制出风组件伸出出风口并将出风口的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构,控制空调本体运行送风模式,在室内温度小于等于设定温度时,控制出风组件伸出出风口并将出风口的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构,控制空调本体运行送风模式并开启待晾干物放置结构上的加热装置,或者,控制空调本体运行制热模式(优选为低风挡,设定20-28度),或者,控制空调本体在制热模式和送风模式之间定时切换,或者,运行制热模式设定时间后运行送风模式。此种控制方式可以在晾干衣物的同时最大程度的保证用户的舒适度。其中,空调本体运行送风模式时,控制空调本体的风机处于高风挡位,以加快待晾干物的晾干速度。
在接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态为制冷模式或除湿模式时,在接收晾干模式信号后,控制空调本体在送风模式和接收晾干模式信号之前的运行状态之间定时切换,以尽量维持室内处于制冷状态,保证用户制冷需求。
具体的,接收晾干模式信号之后,进入晾干状态:出风组件伸出出风口并将出风口的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构,空调本体运行送风模式(换热器停止工作,风机工作),设定时间之后,切换至接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态(制冷模式或者除湿模式),出风组件收缩至出风口,设定时间之后,进入晾干状态,依次循环。
在接收晾干模式信号后启动杀菌模块,以对待晾干物进行杀菌消毒。其中,杀菌模块可以一直开启,或者,定时开启,或者在晾干状态时开启在切换至接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体的运行状态时关闭。
优选的,接收晾干模式信号后,控制待晾干物放置结构远离壳体至设定距离,以方便用户悬挂待晾干物,同时方便出风组件出风至待晾干物放置结构。
进一步的,出风组件伸出出风口并将出风口的气流导向至待晾干物放置结构时,控制导风板处于摆动状态,以进一步提高待晾干物晾干速度和均匀性。
在接收晾干模式信号后,可以通过人工判断晾干是否完成,在晾干完成后发送晾干完成信号,空调器接收晾干完成信号后,控制晾干模式结束,切换至接收晾干模式信号之前的运行状态。
优选的,在接收晾干模式信号后,空调器自动判断待晾干物是否晾干,在待晾干物晾干时,控制空调本体切换至接收晾干模式信号之前的运行状态。
具体的,空调器包括湿度检测模块,通过湿度检测模块检测湿度,以判断待晾干物是否晾干。湿度检测模块定时检测湿度,在相邻两次湿度差小于设定湿度时判断待晾干物晾干。
为了进一步提高湿度检测精度,在运行晾干模式设定时间后,检测第一湿度,开启加热装置一段时间后检测第二湿度,在第一湿度和第二湿度差小于设定湿度时判断所述待晾干物晾干;由于加热装置能够进一步增加待晾干物水分的挥发,因而,通过此种方式判断待晾干物是否晾干更加精确。
为了避免空调本体出风将待晾干物蒸发的水分吹走,在检测第一湿度和第二湿度期间控制空调本体停止出风,以提高湿度检测。
其中,湿度检测模块可以为空调本体自带的湿度检测模块,或者设置在待晾干物放置结构上的湿度检测模块。
当然,也可以根据湿度检测模块在设定时间内检测的湿度变化判断待晾干物是否晾干。在设定时间内湿度变化时,说明待晾干物还有水分蒸发,没有晾干,在设定时间内湿度不变时,说明待晾干物上的水分蒸发完毕,晾干。

其中,在图10-12的控制过程中,可以通过接收晾干模式结束信号控制晾干模式的结束,晾干模式结束信号为用户发送的信号。
下面具体说明空调器的一个控制过程:
在用户使用空调器的状态下,此时空调本体正常运行(制冷、制热或除湿模式),出风组件收缩至出风口。当用户将衣服挂在晾衣架上之后,并开启晾衣功能按键,空调器接收晾干模式信号,空调晾衣架驱动电机转动,将晾衣架下降,并开启两个UV光杀菌模块对衣服进行杀菌处理,然后出风组件伸出出风口,一般旋转25度,此时,出风组件将出风口的气流导向至晾衣架,然后,控制导风板转动,让导风板实现针对下方晾衣架衣服的前后90度的循环摆动,用以保证能够吹风到衣服上,促进衣服表面的空气流通,以达到衣服尽快晾干的目的。假如在接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体处于制冷(除湿)运行状态,则当晾衣架有衣服开启晾衣烘干功能的情况下,空调的扇叶转速调整为强力档位,同时空调模式改为送风模式,导风板90度循环摆动吹风30分钟后,然后,空调本体停止出风,湿度检测模块检测湿度,开启晾衣架下方的加热条加热1分钟之后并检测晾衣架下方的湿度,监测完成后,若没有晾干,出风组件缩回出风口,再按照原来的用户设定制冷模式和风速继续运行30分钟(缩回出风组件至出风口可以防止冷风吹衣服上),然后再使出风组件伸出出风口,切换送风模式高风档吹风30分钟,空调停止出风,湿度检测模块检测湿度,开启晾衣架下方的加热条加热1分钟之后检测湿度数据,如此往复循环,直至晾干。假如在接收晾干模式信号之前空调本体处于制热运行状态,则出风组件伸出,导风板90度循环摆动,按照用户设定档位运行即可,空调本体间隔30分钟停止吹风,湿度传感器检测湿度,开启晾衣架的加热条,1分钟之后检测晾衣架下方空气的湿度,判断是否晾干,若没有晾干,空调本体继续出风,直至晾干。由于衣服在晾干的过程中,由于水分的蒸发,衣服会变轻,湿度会变小,所以两次监测湿度数据差值逐渐变小,当两次湿度数据差距大于1%rh说明衣服还未晾干烘干,继续按照设定逻辑烘干,当两次监测湿度数据差距小于1%rh,说明晾衣架下方衣服湿度几乎不作变化,说明衣服已烘干,则按照设定逻辑提醒用户晾干烘干完成,可以收取衣服,然后关闭UV光杀菌模块,然后出风组件缩回至出风口,空调继续按照用户设定的状态继续运行,当用户收取衣服后,晾衣架升上去复位。
在用户不使用空调器的状态下,此时空调器处于待机或关机状态,当用户将衣服挂在晾衣架上之后,开启空调晾衣功能按键,空调器接收晾干模式信号,空调晾衣架驱动电机转动,将晾衣架下降,然后开启晾衣架的UV光杀菌模块对衣服进行杀菌处理,然后出风组件伸出出风口,一般旋转25度,此时,出风组件将出风口的气流导向至晾衣架,然后,控制导风板转动,让导风板实现针对下方晾衣架衣服的前后90度的循环摆动,用以保证能够吹风到衣服上,促进衣服表面的空气流通,以达到衣服尽快晾干的目的。检测室内温度,假如室内温度大于18度,空调的扇叶转速开启为高风档位,打开空调送风模式持续吹风30分钟,然后停止吹风,湿度检测模块检测湿度并开启晾衣架下方的加热条加热1分钟之后并检测晾衣架下方的湿度数据,若没有晾干,继续扇叶吹风30分钟,然后再停止吹风湿度检测模块检测湿度并开启晾衣架下方的加热条加热1分钟之后并监测晾衣架下方的湿度数据,此过程只有监测湿度数据时候开启加热条1分钟,如此往复循环,直至晾干。假如室内温度小于等于18度,打开加热条加热并开启空调送风模式,高风档位运行,(或者开启制热模式,或者制热模式和送风模式定时切换或者运行制热模式设定时间后运行送风模式)导风板前后90度循环摆动吹风30分钟,然后停止吹风检测湿度,1分钟之后再次监测晾衣架下方的湿度数据,根据1分钟前后数据判断是否晾干,若没有晾干,再吹风30分钟,然后停止吹风检测湿度,1分钟之后再次监测晾衣架下方的湿度数据,判断是否晾干,依次循环,直至晾干。此过程由于室内温度偏低加热条一直开启状态。由于衣服在晾干的过程中,由于水分的蒸发,衣服会变轻,湿度会变小,当两次监测湿度数据差值逐渐变小,当两次湿度数据差距大于1%rh说明衣服还未晾干烘干,继续按照设定逻辑烘干,当两次监测湿度数据差距小于1%rh,说明晾衣架下方衣服湿度几乎不作变化,说明衣服已烘干,则按照设定逻辑提醒用户晾干烘干完成,可以收取衣服,然后关闭UV光杀菌模块,关闭加热条,然后出风组件缩回至出风口,空调继续保持待机或关机状态,当用户收取衣服后,晾衣架升上去复位。
