Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a flow of a clothes drying method according to the present embodiment. The clothes drying method is applied to the air conditioner, the clothes can be dried while energy waste is avoided, and user experience is better. The clothes drying method comprises the following steps:

step S101, acquiring the indoor air humidity.

The humidity detection device is arranged in the room or on the shell of the indoor unit, and the detection result of the humidity detection device is obtained, so that the indoor air humidity can be obtained.

In fact, in this embodiment, before step S101, the drying method further includes obtaining a user instruction, that is, when the user instruction is received, the controller of the air conditioner starts the drying method executed by step S101. In other embodiments, a detection device may be further disposed on the clothes drying rack configured to the air conditioner, when clothes are hung on the clothes drying rack, the detection device sends a detection signal to the controller, and when the controller receives the detection signal, the controller enters a clothes drying logic and starts the clothes drying method executed in step S101.

Further, the clothes drying method can also comprise the following steps:

and step S102, obtaining a clothes drying threshold value according to the air humidity.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a sub-step flow of step S102, where step S102 may include:

and a substep S1021, calculating the product of the air humidity and a preset coefficient to obtain a clothes drying threshold value.

The specific value of the preset coefficient can be adjusted according to the application environment and the required clothes drying degree, and is required to be more than or equal to the value 1.

With continuing reference to fig. 1, the drying method may further include:

and step S103, acquiring the humidity of the clothes in real time.

The clothes humidity is obtained by detecting the clothes hung on the clothes drying rack according to a humidity detection device additionally arranged. The humidity detection device for detecting the clothes can be arranged on an indoor unit of an air conditioner or directly arranged on a clothes drying rack in practical application.

It should be noted that, step S103 and step S101 are not in sequence, and in this embodiment, when the controller receives a clothes drying instruction and enters the clothes drying logic, step S101 and step S103 are performed almost simultaneously.

Further, the clothes drying method can also comprise the following steps:

and step S104, selectively executing a clothes drying function according to the clothes humidity and the clothes drying threshold value acquired in real time.

That is, when a user instruction is obtained or a detection signal transmitted by the detection device is received, the controller of the air conditioner does not directly start to perform the clothes drying function. The controller judges whether the clothes need to be dried through the clothes drying function according to the clothes humidity and the clothes drying threshold value acquired in real time, and energy waste caused by mistaken touch of a user or mistaken execution of the clothes drying function due to the fault of the detection device is avoided.

In fact, in this embodiment, the performing of the drying function means that the controller controls the air conditioner to adjust the powerful air speed and adjust the air outlet to be aligned with the clothes hung on the drying rack. In other embodiments, the control is performed according to the specific clothes drying function configured by the air conditioner.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a sub-step flow of step S104, wherein step S104 may include:

and a substep S1041 of comparing the clothes humidity acquired in real time with a clothes drying threshold value.

And a substep S1042 of performing a drying function if the humidity of the laundry is greater than or equal to a drying threshold.

Under the condition that the humidity of the clothes is greater than or equal to the clothes drying threshold value, namely the humidity of the clothes is greater than or equal to the preset coefficient times the humidity of the air, the clothes humidity is too high under the current environment, and the natural drying needs a very long time, so that the clothes drying function is executed, and the air conditioner is controlled to actively dry the clothes.

And in the substep S1043, if the clothes humidity acquired for the continuous preset times is less than the clothes drying threshold value, stopping acquiring the clothes humidity.

In this embodiment, the preset number of times is three, that is, when the humidity of the clothes obtained three times in succession is smaller than the clothes drying threshold, it is determined that the humidity of the clothes does not need to be actively dried, or the user touches the clothes drying rack by mistake, no clothes exists on the clothes drying rack, the acquisition of the humidity of the clothes is stopped, and the controller exits the clothes drying logic.

With continuing reference to fig. 1, the drying method may further include:

and S105, selectively finishing the clothes drying function according to the clothes humidity acquired in real time in the clothes drying process and the clothes drying threshold value.

Under the condition that the clothes are actively dried through the substep S1042, the drying degree of the clothes is judged in real time according to the clothes humidity and the clothes drying threshold value which are acquired in real time in the clothes drying process, and the clothes drying function is finished in time when the clothes are judged to be dried, so that the energy waste is avoided.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a sub-step flow of step S105, wherein step S105 may include:

and a substep S1051 of comparing the clothes humidity acquired in real time in the clothes drying process with a clothes drying threshold value.

And a substep S1052, controlling to finish the drying function if the humidity of the clothes acquired in the drying process is less than the drying threshold value.

After the clothes drying function is executed, if the humidity of the clothes acquired at a certain time is smaller than the clothes drying threshold value, the clothes are represented to be dried, at the moment, the controller immediately controls the air conditioner to finish the clothes drying function, the clothes drying logic is quitted, and energy waste caused by over-drying is avoided.

Therefore, according to the clothes drying method provided by the embodiment, the obtained clothes humidity is compared with the clothes drying threshold, the drying condition of the clothes is judged according to the comparison result, the clothes drying function is selectively executed, and the problem that the user continues to dry the clothes to be dried by mistake or under the condition that the clothes to be dried do not exist is solved, so that energy waste is caused. The clothes humidity in the clothes drying process is compared with the clothes drying threshold value, whether the clothes are dried is judged in real time according to the comparison result, the clothes drying function is finished in time when the clothes are dried, energy waste is prevented, if the clothes are judged not to be dried, the clothes drying function is continuously executed, incomplete clothes drying is avoided, and better user experience is obtained.

Therefore, the clothes drying method provided by the invention has the characteristics of energy conservation and better clothes drying effect, and can remarkably improve the user experience.
