Detailed ways

In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

In the related art, there is no machine that can intelligently identify the type of load to be dried, which results in the inability to perform targeted drying on different types of loads, resulting in poor drying effects or load damage.

For example, for a mixed load like a quilt that is large in size and has different surface materials inside and outside, since the drying is judged by sensing the humidity of the external surface material, there will be a problem that the inside is not actually completely dried, resulting in a poor drying effect; if the purpose of completely drying the inside is to achieve the purpose of completely drying the outside material, it will cause damage to the outside material. In addition, if the storage space is filled with large loads like quilts with delicate surface materials, it is easy to cause drying damage, resulting in a poor user experience.

In response to at least one of the above problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a drying control method, in which the temperature collected by a temperature sensor and the humidity collected by a humidity sensor within a period of time after the start of the drying process are first obtained, and the type and load amount of the load to be dried are determined based on the humidity and temperature; then, based on the determination result, the corresponding target drying program is determined, so that the target drying program can be applied to the determined type and load amount of the load to be dried, thereby achieving targeted drying of loads of different types and load amounts, which is beneficial to improving the drying effect, reducing drying damage, and improving user experience.

In some embodiments, in the drying control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the load determination step mainly utilizes humidity to distinguish whether the load is a quilt or general clothing, and then a targeted target drying program can be determined based on the quilt or general clothing, such as adjusting the drying temperature, and controlling the drying temperature to be maintained continuously or intermittently to prevent damage to the load, while solving the problem that the inside of the quilt is difficult to dry.

Furthermore, the temperature change trend can be used to sense and judge the load, and further indicate whether the load is excessive. In practical applications, when the clothing processing device senses that there are too many quilts, it will send this information through a prompt message to warn the user; correspondingly, after receiving the warning, the user can adjust the load to be dried so that the load of a single drying is Overall load vectoring to ensure no damage to the clothes and to ensure the best drying results.

The drying control method, device, medium and clothing processing equipment provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are exemplarily described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

For example, FIG1 is a flow chart of a drying control method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The execution subject of the drying control method may be a processor in a clothing processing device, such as a clothing processing device provided in the processor; or other electronic devices that communicate with the clothing processing device and control the clothing processing device based on the working parameters of the clothing processing device, which are not limited here. Referring to FIG1, the drying control method (also referred to as "method" herein) may include the following steps:

S110, acquiring the temperature collected by the temperature sensor and the humidity collected by the humidity sensor during the drying process.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature can be collected based on the temperature sensor in the clothing processing device and transmitted to the processor; similarly, the humidity can be collected based on the humidity sensor in the clothing processing device and transmitted to the processor; correspondingly, the processor receives to obtain the temperature and humidity to provide basic data for the subsequent load type and load amount determination steps.

It should be noted that the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is mainly suitable for distinguishing between quilts and general clothes, as well as distinguishing the number of quilts. It can be judged by the rate of temperature rise and humidity reduction within a period of time after the start of drying, so the temperature and humidity need to be obtained in this step.

Meanwhile, in this step, the temperature and humidity may be acquired in real time or according to a preset time sequence, which is not limited here.

S120: Determine the type and amount of the load to be dried based on the temperature and humidity.

The types and amounts of the load include clothing, a single quilt, and two or more quilts.

Among them, when the type of load is different, the corresponding humidity change trend is obviously different; when the load amount is different, the corresponding temperature change trend is obviously different. Therefore, the type and load amount of the load can be determined through comprehensive judgment of humidity and temperature.

In combination with Figures 2 and 3, taking a quilt (i.e. a single quilt), two quilts (i.e. an example of more than two quilts) and general clothes as the load to be dried as an example, the humidity and temperature change trends under different load types and load amounts are exemplified.

For example, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the change trend of humidity over time during the drying process. Among them, the horizontal axis X1 represents the drying time, which can be understood as dimensionless time, and the vertical axis Y1 represents the humidity, and the unit can be %; L01 represents the change curve of humidity over time corresponding to general clothes, L02 represents the change curve of humidity over time corresponding to a single quilt, and L03 represents the change curve of humidity over time corresponding to two quilts; Figure 2 only shows the change trend of humidity over time by way of example.

As shown in Figure 2, when the same drying program is used, after the drying starts, the humidity of general clothes decreases slowly with time; while the humidity of a single quilt and two quilts decreases quickly with time, and the changes in humidity values are basically the same.

Therefore, by judging the humidity for a certain period of time after the drying starts, it is possible to determine whether the load type is general clothing or quilt. Specifically, if the humidity is still high, the load is determined to be clothing; if the humidity is low, the load is determined to be quilt. Thus, the load type is determined based on humidity.

For example, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the temperature change trend over time during the drying process. Among them, the horizontal axis X2 represents time, which can be understood as dimensionless time, and the vertical axis Y2 represents temperature, and the unit can be ℃; L11 represents the temperature change curve corresponding to a single quilt over time, L12, L13 and L14 represent the temperature change curves corresponding to different general clothes over time, L15 and L16 both represent the temperature change curves corresponding to two quilts over time; similarly, Figure 3 only shows the temperature change trend over time by way of example.

As shown in Figure 3, when the same drying program is used, after the drying starts, the temperature of general clothes and a single quilt increases faster with time, and the changes in temperature values are basically the same; while the temperature of two quilts increases more slowly with time.

Thus, by judging the temperature at a certain time after the drying starts, the corresponding load amount when the load type is a quilt, that is, the number of quilts, can be determined. Specifically, if the temperature rises quickly, the corresponding load amount is determined to be a single quilt, and if the temperature rises slowly, the corresponding load amount is determined to be two or more quilts, that is, more than two quilts. Thus, the load amount is determined based on the temperature.

It can be understood that in the above humidity and temperature determination process, the determination reference standard can be determined based on empirical values, test values, load characteristics, load capacity, etc., and is not limited here.

In some embodiments, Fig. 4 is a detailed flow chart of S120 in the method shown in Fig. 1. Based on Fig. 1, referring to Fig. 4, S120 may specifically include:

S121. Determine the type of the load to be dried based at least on the humidity.

In combination with the above, when the load types are different, the corresponding humidity changes after the drying starts are different, and accordingly the corresponding load type can be determined based on the humidity.

In other implementations, the load type may be determined in combination with humidity and temperature, which will be exemplified below with reference to FIG. 7 .

In some embodiments, this step may specifically include:

Determine whether the humidity corresponding to the preset time since the start of the drying process is greater than the preset humidity value;

Based on a judgment result that the humidity corresponding to the preset time after the start of the drying process is greater than the preset humidity value, determining that the load to be dried is clothing;

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset duration corresponds to the duration during which the humidity of different types of loads differs, and the preset humidity value is a humidity reference value for distinguishing different types of loads. The specific value is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In this step, the humidity corresponding to the preset time after the start of the drying process is compared with the preset humidity value; if the humidity corresponding to the preset time after the start of the drying process is greater than the preset humidity value, it is determined that the load is general clothing; if the humidity corresponding to the preset time after the start of the drying process is equal to or less than the preset humidity value, it is determined that the load is a quilt.

Therefore, the load type can be determined by judging the humidity.

In other implementations, the load type may also be determined based on the humidity change rate.

Specifically, in conjunction with FIG. 2 , it can be seen that the humidity of general clothes changes slowly, while the humidity of quilts changes quickly. Based on this, the humidity change speed can be first determined based on the humidity, and then the load type is determined based on the comparison result of the humidity change speed and the preset humidity change speed. For example, if the humidity change speed is less than the preset humidity change speed, the load is determined to be general clothes, and if the humidity change speed is equal to or greater than the preset humidity change speed, the load is determined to be a quilt.

Therefore, after the humidity is acquired, the load type can be determined based on the humidity or the humidity change rate.

S122. Determine the load of the quilt based at least on the temperature.

Combined with the above, when the load is a quilt and the load amount is different, the corresponding temperature after the drying starts There are differences in temperature changes, based on which the corresponding load can be determined based on the temperature.

In other implementations, the load type may be determined in combination with temperature and humidity, which will be exemplified in conjunction with FIG. 7 hereinafter.

In some embodiments, this step may specifically include:

Determine whether the temperature change rate is less than or equal to the temperature change reference value;

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature change reference value is a humidity reference value for distinguishing different types of loads, and its specific value is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In this step: first, the temperature change rate is calculated based on the temperature during the drying process. The temperature change rate can be the temperature change rate calculated based on two adjacent sampling temperatures, or the temperature change rate calculated based on the current sampling temperature and the initial sampling temperature, or the temperature change rate calculated based on other methods, which are not limited here. Then, the calculated temperature change rate is compared with the temperature change reference value; if the temperature change rate is greater than the temperature change reference value, it is determined that the number of quilts is a single piece; if the temperature change rate is equal to or less than the temperature change reference value, it is determined that the number of quilts is two or more, that is, more than two pieces.

Therefore, the load capacity can be determined by judging the temperature.

In other embodiments, the load amount may be determined based on the temperature corresponding to a preset time after the start of the drying process.

Specifically, in combination with FIG. 3 , it can be seen that the temperature rise corresponding to general clothing and a single quilt is relatively high, and the temperature rise corresponding to more than two quilts is relatively low. Based on this, the load amount can also be determined based on the corresponding preset time after the start of the drying process. Exemplarily, if the temperature corresponding to the preset time after the start of the drying process is greater than the preset temperature value, the load amount is determined to be a single piece; if the temperature corresponding to the preset time after the start of the drying process is less than or equal to the preset temperature value, the load amount is determined to be more than two pieces. Among them, the preset temperature value is a temperature reference value to distinguish different load amounts.

Therefore, after obtaining the temperature, the load amount can be determined based on the temperature or the temperature change rate.

S130: Determine a corresponding target drying program based on the type and load amount.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the above determination results, for loads of different types and load amounts, the corresponding target drying programs are determined specifically. Exemplarily, the target drying program may be a temperature control program, including a drying temperature and a corresponding time sequence.

In some embodiments, this step may specifically include:

Based on the type and the load amount being clothes, determining the target drying program to be the first drying program;

Based on the type and load amount of a single quilt, determining the target drying program to be the second drying program;

Based on the type and load amount of more than two quilts, the target drying program is determined to be a drying prompt program;

The temperature corresponding to the first drying program is higher than the temperature corresponding to the second drying program, and the drying prompt program is used to issue an alarm prompt to remind the user to use the target load amount for batch drying.

In the disclosed embodiment, if the judgment result is general clothing, the first drying program can be adopted, for example, high temperature is used to dry until the final target humidity, that is, the high temperature drying program is adopted until the drying is completed, so as to ensure higher drying efficiency; if the judgment result is a single quilt, the second drying program can be adopted, for example, low temperature is used to dry until the final target humidity, that is, the low temperature drying program is adopted until the drying is completed, so as to ensure sufficient drying and no damage to the quilt; if the judgment result is more than two quilts, the drying is interrupted and an alarm is issued to remind the user to use the target load, that is, an appropriate load, such as a single quilt, and dry it in batches to ensure sufficient drying and avoid damage.

The drying control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the type and load amount of the load to be dried based on temperature and humidity, and determine the corresponding target drying program, so that targeted drying can be performed for loads of different types and load amounts using the corresponding target drying program, which is beneficial to improving the drying effect and avoiding damage to the load to be dried.

In some embodiments, the first drying procedure includes: drying within a first temperature range until the humidity of a continuous target number of times is less than the target humidity; the second drying procedure includes: drying within a second temperature range until the humidity of a continuous target number of times is less than the target humidity. wherein each temperature within the second temperature range is lower than each temperature within the first temperature range.

Exemplarily, FIG5 is a timing diagram of temperature control in a first drying program provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG6 is a timing diagram of temperature control in a second drying program provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG5 and FIG6, the horizontal axis represents time, and the larger the value, the longer the corresponding time; the vertical axis represents whether the temperature control is enabled or not, and 1 represents enablement, that is, the heating source is working, and 0 represents disablement, that is, the heating source is not working. Exemplarily, FIG5 corresponds to a high-temperature drying program for general clothes, and by controlling the temperature and working sequence of the heating source, the first drying program is maintained within the first temperature range for drying; FIG6 corresponds to a low-temperature drying program for a single quilt, and by controlling the heating source and the working sequence, the second drying program is maintained within the second temperature range for drying. By comparing FIG5 and FIG6, it can be seen that in the high-temperature drying program, the duration of a single heating is greater than the interval duration in the high-temperature drying program; in the low-temperature drying program, the duration of a single heating is less than the interval duration in the low-temperature drying program, so that it is convenient to maintain the temperature of the corresponding drying program within the temperature range that meets the drying requirements. Therefore, for general clothes, high-temperature drying program can be used to achieve efficient drying, and for a single quilt, low-temperature drying program can be used to achieve sufficient and damage-free drying. Therefore, based on the determination of load type and load amount, targeted drying of different loads can be achieved.

In some embodiments, in the first drying procedure, a continuous drying method is used for drying; in the second drying procedure, an intermittent drying method is used for drying.

In this embodiment, if the type and load are clothes, continuous drying is adopted for drying, that is, during the execution of the first drying program, the drying temperature is always kept stable within the first temperature range. The control of the working sequence of the heating source is to maintain the temperature stable, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

In this embodiment, if the type and load amount are a single quilt, intermittent drying is adopted for drying, that is, during the execution of the second drying program, the drying temperature is intermittently maintained stable within the effective drying temperature range within the second temperature range, and the drying temperature is controlled to be lowered to a preset temperature or within a preset temperature range during the intermittent period to avoid excessive surface temperature of the quilt and avoid drying damage, thereby achieving damage-free drying of a single quilt.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

Execute the target drying program;

Cool to target temperature and finish.

In this embodiment, after the target drying program is executed and ended, the load is generally in a relatively high temperature state, and the drying control is ended after cooling to the target temperature to ensure safety in use.

In some embodiments, FIG7 is a flow chart of another drying control method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, showing the process steps of comprehensively determining the load type and load amount in combination with temperature and humidity. Referring to FIG7 , the drying control method may include:

S200, start.

Specifically, after the initial drying program is selected and the initial drying level is set, the drying process begins.

S201, heating.

Specifically, after the drying process starts, the relevant heating components start heating.

S202, determine whether △1＞△&H1＞H is satisfied.

Wherein, △1 represents the temperature change rate, △ represents the temperature change reference value, H1 represents the humidity, and H represents the preset humidity value; illustratively, △1 can be calculated using the following formula:

△1＝(t1-t0)/T

Among them, t0 represents the temperature of the load accommodating space at the beginning of drying, T represents the duration of drying, and t1 represents the current temperature, that is, the temperature of the load accommodating space after the drying duration T.

In the disclosed embodiment, it is first determined whether the temperature change rate is greater than the temperature change reference value, and the humidity is greater than the preset humidity value; if so, the type of load is determined to be general clothing, and subsequent S203 and S204 are executed; if not, the type of load is determined to be a quilt, and the load amount is further determined, that is, S205 and subsequent steps are executed accordingly.

S203, heater turned on 1.

Specifically, for general clothes, a high-temperature drying program is used for drying.

S204: Determine whether Hn≤Ht is satisfied.

Where Hn represents the humidity of the continuous target quantity and Ht represents the target humidity.

In the disclosed embodiment, it is determined whether the humidity of the continuous target number is less than the target humidity. If so, the drying is terminated and the subsequent S209 is executed; if not, the process returns and the cycle continues.

S205. Determine whether △2≤△&H2≤H is satisfied.

Among them, △2 also represents the temperature change rate, which is distinguished from △1 only based on the time difference. The calculation method is the same as △1, so it is not repeated here; △ represents the reference value of temperature change, and H2 also represents humidity. It is also distinguished from H1 only based on the time difference, and H represents the preset humidity value.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining that the load type is a quilt, the load quantity is further determined. Specifically, it is determined whether the temperature change rate is less than or equal to the temperature change reference value, and the humidity is less than or equal to the preset humidity value; if so, it is determined that the load quantity is more than two pieces, such as two quilts, and the subsequent S206 is executed accordingly; if not, it is determined that the load quantity is a single piece, such as one quilt, and the subsequent S207 and S208 are executed accordingly.

S206: Too much load, alarm.

Specifically, when the load is large, it is easy to cause load damage. At this time, a targeted reminder is issued to prompt the user to adjust the load so as to achieve sufficient lossless drying.

S207, heater turned on 2.

Specifically, for a single quilt, a low-temperature drying program is used for drying.

S208: Determine whether Hn≤Ht is satisfied.

S209: Cooling.

S210, end.

In the disclosed embodiment, the load type and load amount are determined based on the humidity and temperature at a certain time after the start of drying. First, the load type is determined based on the humidity to distinguish between general clothes and quilts, and then the load amount is determined based on the humidity to distinguish between a single quilt and more than two quilts. Furthermore, corresponding target drying programs are used for different load types and load amounts, for example: a high-temperature drying program is used for general clothes to efficiently complete drying; a low-temperature drying program is used for a single quilt to complete drying within a preset time to ensure that the load is not damaged and is fully dried; for more than two quilts, the drying is interrupted and an alarm is issued to remind the user to use an appropriate load amount for drying in batches to avoid load damage.
