Description
AN INTELLIGENT WARDROBE
This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application titled "an intelligent wardrobe" filed with the National Intellectual Property Administration of People's Republic of China on October 18, 2018, with the application number as 201811217088.7 and all contents thereof are incorporated into this application by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
100011 This invention relates to the field of smart home technology, and in particular, to an intelligent wardrobe.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] A traditional wardrobe generally functions for storing clothes only. After being washed, clothes usually need to be hung for dry naturally or processed using a dryer, and then the dried clothes can be placed into the wardrobe. However, cumbersome operations of hanging and collecting clothes may cost a longer time especially in case of a great number of washed clothes, in this case a wardrobe integrated with functions of drying and storing clothes becomes a hot point for study in the field of smart home technology.
100031 Figure 1 is an existing intelligent wardrobe, including an ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100, a clothes transmission assembly 200, clothes hanging assemblies 300 and a wardrobe body 400. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure of the clothes transmission assembly, wherein the clothes transmission assembly 200 includes a rail 201, an auxiliary rail 202, a drying position point 203 and steering mechanisms 204. The clothes hanging assemblies 300 with clothes to be dried hung thereon wait in a queue on the rail 201, in which a clothes hanging assembly 300 having a position closest to the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100 is set as Number 1, then the Number 1 clothes hanging assembly 300 travels to the drying position point 203 at c position and is dried by the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100, and simultaneously all the other clothes hanging assemblies 300 in the queue are moved toward the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100 by a determined distance and a new Number 1 clothes hanging assembly 300 is set in order. After drying, the clothes hanging assembly 300 returns to a steering point at d position and is driven, along with the clothes hung thereon, by a drive trolley to rotate by 90 degrees, then is moved to a steering point e, a steering point f and up to a steering point g in order along the auxiliary rail 202, then is driven by the drive trolley to rotate by 90 degrees again, and is moved to the last end of the queue along the rail 201. At the same time when the original Number 1 clothes hanging assembly 300 leaves the steering point d, the new Number 1 clothes hanging assembly 300 in the queue enter the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100 for being dried, and the above circulating actions are repeated until all the clothes in the queue are dried.
100041 However, at least following defects exist in such wardrobe structure: firstly, only if one current Number 1 clothes hanging assembly 300 is moved from the c point to the d point and is ready to enter the auxiliary rail 202, the new Number 1 clothes hanging assembly 300 can be moved from a position labeled as "1" in the figures to the c point. That is, only if the current one clothes hanging assembly 300 is moved from the rail 201 to the auxiliary rail 202, a next clothes hanging assembly 300 can be moved to the c point, otherwise can only wait in the queue at the position labeled as "1" relatively away from the c point. It can be seen that, in such manner it will cost a longer time for the clothes to wait for being dried and cause low clothes drying efficiency, rendering a longer time required for drying all the clothes. Secondly, the dried clothes finally return to the terminal of the queue through the auxiliary rail 202, that is, the dried clothes are finally still on the rail 201, which are mixed with wet clothes in hanging without Dry-Wet separation, such that the dried clothes will be tainted with damp, rendering low clothes drying efficiency and unfavorable storage of clothes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] This application provides an intelligent wardrobe to solve the problem of insufficient clothes drying efficiency and effect in the existing wardrobe integrated with functions of drying and storing clothes [0006] An intelligent wardrobe provided in this application, includes: an ultrasonic clothes drying assembly, a transmission assembly, clothes hanging assemblies and a wardrobe body, wherein the clothes hanging assemblies are slidable along the transmission assembly, characterized in that, the wardrobe body includes a clothes drying room, a clothes storage room, a transit room and a controller, wherein a partition board is provided between the clothes drying room and the clothes storage room communicated with each other through the transit room, the partition board including a main board and a side board perpendicular to the main board and facing toward the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly, wherein the transmission assembly includes a rail passing through the clothes drying room, the clothes storage room and the transit room, a queue waiting point and a drying position point being provided on the rail located within the clothes drying room, the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly is provided on a side wall of the clothes drying room, including a first live splint located on a side close to the transit room and a second live splint on which several ultrasonic generators are provided, wherein the first live splint, when rotating to a close position, is butted to the side board on both sides of the rail, and wherein the controller is used for controlling the first live splint and the second live splint to close up and clamp clothes when a clothes assembly travels to the drying position point, and simultaneously initiating the ultrasonic generators to dry the clothes, and controlling the first live splint to open, so as to allow the dried clothes to enter the transit room along the rail 100071 The clothes to be dried are hung on the clothes hanging assemblies, adjacent two of which are spaced by a certain distance to form a queue, and the respective clothes hanging assemblies are simultaneously moved toward a position of the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly along the rail. When Number I clothes in the queue travels to the drying position point, the clothes hanging assemblies thereafter suspend on the queue waiting point, at this time the controller controls the first live splint and the second live splint to close up and clamp the clothes therebetween, and simultaneously initiates the ultrasonic generators to dry moisture within the clothes using ultrasonic waves. When being closed up, the first live splint is seamlessly butted to the side board, thereby preventing damp occurred during drying of the clothes from entering the clothes storage room. After the clothes are dried, the first live splint is controlled to rotatorily open to form an opening in the clothes drying room for conveying the dried clothes to the transit room, and then the first live splint is controlled to close up. The transit room can be configured to be a ventilation structure to rapidly discharge a small amount of damp therein, after that the clothes are moved from the transit room to the clothes storage room. At the same time when the first live splint is opened to move the clothes out of the clothes drying room, the Number I clothes hanging assembly in the current queue is controlled to move to the drying position point, and dried according to the above method, and so on until all the clothes in the queue are dried and transferred to the clothes storage room [0008] In this application, the first live splint is directly opened after the clothes are dried, such that the clothes can travel to leave the drying position point, in this case a next clothes waiting thereafter can be directly moved to the drying position point. That is, after a previous clothes is dried, a later clothes can be ready to be dried, thereby improving clothes drying efficiency and reducing time consumed for waiting in queue. Furthermore, the clothes drying 1 0 room and the clothes storage room can be effectively separated through the first live splint and the transit room, which can realize Dry-Wet separation, thereby improving clothes drying effect and ensuring dryness of clothes within the clothes storage room, truly realizing integration of clothes storage and clothes drying, effectively reducing time for hanging and collecting clothes, and dramatically improving user's experience

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
100191 To make a person skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions in this 1 0 application, the technical solutions in this application will be described clearly and exhaustively below in combination with figures.
[0020] As illustrated in figures 3 and 4, an intelligent wardrobe provided in the embodiment of this application has a structure including: an ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100, a transmission assembly 200, clothes hanging assemblies 300 and a wardrobe body 400, wherein the clothes hanging assemblies 300 are slidable along the transmission assembly 200, characterized in that, the wardrobe body 400 includes a clothes drying room 401, a clothes storage room 403, a transit room 402 and a controller 404, wherein a partition board 405 is provided between the clothes drying room 401 and the clothes storage room 403 communicated with each other through the transit room 402, the partition board 405 including a main board 4051 and a side board 4052 perpendicular to the main board 4051 and facing toward the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100.
[0021] Herein, the transmission assembly 200 includes a rail 201 passing through the clothes drying room 401, the clothes storage room 403 and the transit room 402. The entire rail 201 presents an annular structure, such that the clothes hanging assemblies 300 for hanging clothes can travel to the clothes drying room 401, the transit room 402 and the clothes storage room 403 along the rail 201. Thus, the transmission assembly 200 is an important component for controlling a process of processing clothes. A section of the rail 201 located within the clothes drying room 401 is provided with a queue waiting point 202 and a drying position point 203, wherein the drying position point 203 corresponds to an operating interval of the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100, such that the clothes, when travelling to the drying position point 203, can be effectively dried using ultrasonic waves.
100221 The clothes to be dried are hung on the clothes hanging assemblies 300 that are placed on the rail 201 within the clothes drying room 401, wherein adjacent two of the clothes hanging assemblies 300 are spaced by a certain distance to form a queue, and the respective clothes hanging assemblies 300 are simultaneously moved toward a position of the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100 along the rail. When Number 1 clothes in the queue travels to the drying position point 203, the clothes hanging assemblies 300 thereafter suspend on the queue waiting point 202.
100231 The ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100 is provided on a side wall of the clothes drying room 401, including a first live splint 101 located on a side close to the transit room 402 and a second live splint 102 on which several ultrasonic generators 103 are provided, wherein the first live splint 101, when rotating to a close position, is butted to the side board 4052 on both sides of the rail 201.
100241 The controller 404 is used for controlling the first live splint 101 and the second live splint 102 to close up and clamp clothes when a clothes assembly travels to the drying position point 203, and simultaneously initiating the ultrasonic generators 103 to dry the clothes, and controlling the first live splint 101 to open, so as to allow the dried clothes to enter the transit room 402 along the rail 201 100251 When clothes are moved to the drying position point 203, it is required to allow the first live splint 101 and the second live splint 102 to be closed up, so as to clamp the clothes located therebetween. That is, the first live splint 101 is located at al position and the second live splint 102 is located at bl position, at this time the first live splint 101 and the second live splint 102 are in parallel, and a spacing between the first live splint 101 and the second live splint 102 can be arranged according to an average thickness of the clothes. When being located at the al position, the first live splint 101 should be aligned with and seamlessly butted to the side board 4052 on both sides of the rail 201 to ensure the clothes drying room 401 to be in a sealing state when the clothes are being dried, so as to prevent moisture and damp, which is evaporated from the clothes, from flowing into the clothes storage room 403. After the clothes are dried, as illustrated in figure 5, the first live splint 101 is opened, that is, the first live splint 101 is rotated from the al position to a position. In this case, the butting between the first live splint 101 and the side board 4052 is released, arid an opening is opened in the clothes drying room 401, such that the dried clothes can be rapidly transferred to the transit room 402. An occupation of the drying position point 203 is released, and then a next clothes hanging assembly 300 is ordered to move toward the drying position point 203 from the queue waiting point 202.
[0026] The clothes drying room 401 and the clothes storage room 403 are separated using the partition board 405 to realize Dry-Wet separation. The partition board 405 presents an L-shaped stmcture on the whole, wherein the main board 4051 is arranged in a direction parallel to a length of the wardrobe body 400, the side board 4052 corresponds to the first live splint 101, and the second live splint 102 is located on one side away from the transit room 402. In examples of figures 4 and 5, the transit room 402 is designed to be on a left end of the wardrobe body 400 and communicated with the clothes drying room 401 and the clothes storage room 403 respectively. The transit room 402 is a transit space, and a process from drying clothes, transiting clothes to storing clothes is operated in a counter-clockwise direction along the rail 201. When the first live splint 101 is opened, a small part of moisture within the clothes drying room 401 will enter the transit room 402, thus the transit room 402 can be designed to be a ventilation structure.
[0027] As illustrated in figure 4, the transit room 402 is provided with a ventilation pipeline 4021 on which a valve 4022 is provided. The controller 404 is electrically connected with the valve 4022 for opening the valve 4022 when the ultrasonic generators 103 are firstly initiated (that is, when a first clothes in the queue starts to be dried), so as to communicate the transit room 402 with external for discharge in the whole process of drying the clothes in the queue; and for closing the valve 4022 after all clothes in the queue are dried and transited to the clothes storage room 403, so as to seal the transit room 402, thereby preventing impurities, dusts or moisture and the like in external from entering the wardrobe body 400. According to such stmcture of the transit room, the dried clothes can be ventilated with moisture therein further discharged after being moved from the clothes drying room 401 to the transit room 402, so as to ensure the clothes entering the clothes storage room 403 to have excellent dryness, thereby improving clothes drying effect and favoring storage of clothes.
100281 The specific operating procedure and principle of the intelligent wardrobe according to this embodiment is that: the clothes to be dried are hung on the clothes hanging assemblies 300, adjacent two of which are spaced by a certain distance and placed within the clothes drying room 401 to form a queue, and the respective clothes hanging assemblies 300 are simultaneously moved toward a position of the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100 along the rail 201. When Number 1 clothes in the queue travels to the drying position point 203, the clothes hanging assemblies 300 thereafter suspend on the queue waiting point 202, at this time the controller 404 controls the first live splint 101 and the second live splint 102 to close up and clamp the clothes therebetween, and simultaneously initiates the ultrasonic generators 103 to dry moisture within the clothes using ultrasonic waves. When being closed up, the first live splint 101 is seamlessly butted to the side board 4052, thereby preventing damp occurred during drying of the clothes from entering the clothes storage room 403. After the clothes are dried, the first live splint 101 is controlled to rotatorily open to form an opening in the clothes drying room 401 for conveying the dried clothes to the transit room 402, and then the first live splint 101 is controlled to close up. The transit room 402 can be configured to be a ventilation structure to rapidly discharge a small amount of damp therein, after that the clothes are moved from the transit room 402 to the clothes storage room 403. At the same time when the first live splint 101 is opened to move the clothes out of the clothes drying room 401, the Number 1 clothes hanging assembly 300 in the current queue is controlled to move to the drying position point 203, and dried according to the above method, and so on until all the clothes in the queue are dried and transferred to the clothes storage room 403.
100291 In this embodiment, the clothes will not be retrograded along the original route after being dried, on the contrary, the first live splint 101 is directly opened, such that the clothes can travel to leave the drying position point 203, in this case a next clothes waiting thereafter can be directly moved to the drying position point 203. That is, after a previous clothes is dried, a later clothes can be ready to be dried, thereby improving clothes drying efficiency and reducing time consumed for waiting in queue. Furthermore, the clothes drying room 401 and the clothes storage room 403 can be effectively separated through the first live splint 101 and the transit room 402, which can realize Dry-Wet separation, thereby improving clothes diving effect and ensuring dryness of clothes within the clothes storage room 403, truly realizing integration of clothes storage and clothes drying, effectively reducing time for hanging and collecting clothes, and dramatically improving user's experience.
100301 Referring to figure 4, the rail 201 includes a clothes feed slideway 2011 parallel to the main board 4051, a clothes (hying slideway 2012 perpendicular to the clothes feed slideway 2011 and extending toward the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100, a transit slideway 2013 and a clothes storage slideway 2014 connected in order, wherein the clothes feed slideway 2011 and the clothes drying slideway 2012 are located within the clothes drying room 401, the transit slideway 2013 is located within the transit room 402, and the clothes storage slideway 2014 is located in the clothes storage room 403. The clothes drying slideway 2012 corresponds to a position in the middle of the first live splint 101 and the second live splint 102, in this case a connection point (inflection point) between the clothes drying slideway 2012 and the clothes feed slideway 2011 is the queue waiting point 202, and a connection point (inflection point) between the clothes drying slideway 2012 and the transit slideway 2013 is the drying position point 203. The first live splint 101 is butted to the side board 4052 on a periphery of the transit slideway 2013 that has one end perpendicularly connected with the clothes drying slideway 2012 and the other end connected with the clothes storage slideway 2014 in parallel. The transit slideway 2013 has two inflection points, referred as c point and d point respectively, wherein the d point is also a connection point between the transit slideway 2013 and the clothes storage slideway 2014. The dried clothes travels from the drying position point 203 along the transit slideway 2013, rounds the c point and the d point in order and then enters the clothes storage room 403. The clothes storage room 403 has a façade that may be provided with a cabinet door, wherein the cabinet door may be sliding, push-pull or splitting, such that a user can conveniently pick desired clothes as opening the cabinet door. As such, the clothes drying room 401 may also be provided with a corresponding door at a suitable position to facilitate the user to hang wet clothes on the clothes hanging assemblies 300 in the clothes drying room 401.
Further, the clothes drying room 401 can be ventilated and dried by opening the door thereof 100311 Referring to figures 4 and 5, 52 is a spacing between the main board 4051 and the clothes drying room 401, Lc is a length of the side board 4052, L 1 is a length of the first live splint 101, L2 is a length of the second live splint 102, and Si is a spacing between the clothes feed slideway 2011 and the side wall of the clothes drying room 401. Jr the optional solutions of this embodiment, S2=Lc+Ll, wherein Li is less than L2, and Si is greater than or equal to L2 A spacing between the drying position point 203 and the side wall of the clothes drying room 401 is equal to Ll. In this case, when being moved to the drying position point 203, the clothes have one side clinging to the second live splint 102 since Li is less than L2, and the other side clinging to the first live splint 101 and the side board 4052, such that the clothes can be fully covered and held by the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly, thereby improving clothes drying efficiency and effect. Furthermore, such design further facilitates opening and closing of the first live splint 101 free of affect from the transit slideway 2013, thereby ensuring operating reliability of the first live splint 101 and airtightness of the clothes drying room 401 when the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100 is in an operating state [0032] Optionally, the first live splint 101 is provided with a humidity sensor 104 electrically connected with the controller 404. When a detection parameter of the humidity sensor 104 is lower than a threshold value, it indicates that the clothes have been dried, and the controller 404 controls the first live splint to open, so as to allow the dried clothes to enter the transit room 402 along the rail 201, and simultaneously controls a first clothes hanging assembly 300 in a current queue to travel from the queue waiting point 202 toward the drying position point 203. Only if it is satisfied that the clothes hanging assemblies 300 are located on the drying position point 203 and the first live splint 101 is in a close state, the controller 404 can control the ultrasonic generators 103 to initiate.
100331 In other possibly implementing manners of this embodiment, in the structure of the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly as illustrated in figure 6, the first live splint 101 is connected with the side wall of the clothes drying room 401 via a first revolving shaft 105, provided with several ultrasonic generators 103 thereon, and the second live splint 102 is slidably connected with the side wall of the clothes drying room 401. Specifically, the side wall of the clothes drying room 401 is provided with a slide mechanism 406 including a chute 4061 and a slide joint 4062 movable along the chute 4061 and connected with the second live splint 102 via a second revolving shaft 106 [0034] The first revolving shaft 105 and the second revolving shaft 106 may be driven by an electric motor electrically connected with the controller 404, such that the controller 404 can control openings and closings of the first live splint 101 and the second live splint 102, whose operation-limited angles are both 90°. In order to reduce time consumed for waiting in queue, improve clothes drying efficiency and ensure clothes drying effect, two or more clothes can be dried on the drying position point 203 in this application. For this, the first live splint 101 is additionally provided with several ultrasonic generators 103, thereby accelerating speed rate of drying multiple clothes by initiating multiple ultrasonic generators 103. A number of the ultrasonic generators 103 to be initiated may be determined according to a number of clothes hung on the drying position point 203. In order to ensure clothes drying effect and prevent much time consumed for drying at a single time, it is better to not have too much clothes to be dried on the drying position point 203.
100351 Furthermore, when two or more clothes are hung on the drying position point 203, the slide joint 4062 is required to move due to an increase of a total thickness of the clothes, so as to enlarge the spacing between the first live splint 101 and the second live splint 102. A number of the clothes dried by the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100 at a single time can be adjusted by the slide mechanism 406. The slide joint 4062 is connected with the second live splint 102 via the second revolving shaft 106. That is, the first live splint 101 can only rotate, while the second live splint 102 can rotate or rotate plus translate. When the clothes hanging assemblies 300 are moved toward the drying position point 203 along the clothes drying slideway 2012, in order to prevent the second live splint 102 from possibly blocking a travel of the clothes hanging assemblies 300, the second live splint 102 can be controlled to rotatorily open by a certain angle to facilitate the clothes hanging assemblies 300 to pass through.
[0036] As for the clothes hanging assembly 300 in the above solutions, as illustrated in figures 7 and 8, the clothes hanging assembly 300 includes: a drive trolley 301, a trolley bracket 302, a wall board 303, a clothes rail 304 and a clothes stand 305. The drive trolley 301 is connected with the wall board 303 via the trolley bracket 302, the wall board 303 being rotatorily connected with the trolley bracket 302 and having an interior provided with a first groove 306. The clothes rail 304, on which the clothes stand 305 for supporting and hanging clothes is hung, is fixed on both sides of the first groove 306. The drive trolley 301 is moved along the rail 201 to adjust a position of the clothes within the wardrobe body 400. As the clothes hanging assembly 300 travels to some position point, such as the queue waiting point 202 or a contract point between the side board 4052 and the rail 201, along the rail 201, angles of the clothes rail 304 and the clothes stand 305 can be altered by rotating the wall board 303, then angles and orientations of the clothes can be altered to facilitate the clothes to move along the rail 201, thereby preventing damage and pollution occurred on the clothes.
[0037] In this embodiment, the drying position point 203 is provided with a first position holder, the queue waiting point 202 is provided with a second position holder, and the controller 404 is electrically connected with the first position holder and the second position holder respectively to control a travelling state of the clothes hanging assemblies 300 on the drying position point 203 and the queue waiting point 202. When travelling to the queue waiting point 202, the clothes hanging assemblies 300 are locked by the second position holder to wait for being dried on the queue waiting point 202, and then are unlocked by the second position holder to travel toward the drying position point 203 along the clothes drying slideway 2012.
[0038] When travelling to the drying position point 203, the clothes hanging assemblies 300 are locked by the first position holder, held on the drying position point 203 and dried by the ultrasonic clothes drying assembly 100, and then are unlocked by the first position holder to travel to the transit room 402 along the transit slideway 2013. Structures of the first position holder and the second position holder can refer to existing holder devices, such as manners of arranging retractable baffles on corresponding points within the rail or arranging position switches on corresponding points, and so forth, which are not defined in this invention.
[0039] The drive trolley 301 in the clothes hanging assembly 300 is generally operated in central of the rail 201. As for a butting structure between the first live splint 101 and the side board 4052, as illustrated in figure 9, the first live splint 101 has a terminal provided with a second groove 1011, and the side board 4052 has a front end provided with a third groove 4053, wherein a depth D2 of the third groove 4053 is less than a depth DI of the second groove 1011, and a sum of D1 and D2 is equal to a width of the transit slideway 2013 Other sizes of the second groove 1011 and the third groove 4053 should be mated with the transit slideway 2013.
After the first live splint 101 is butted to the side board 4052, a rectangular-ring hollowed-out stnicture is formed and sleeved on a periphery of the transit slideway 2013, such that when the first live splint 101 is closed up, the clothes drying room 401 has excellent airtightness. Furthermore, when the first live splint 101 is opened, the butting state is released, and since the depth D2 of the third groove 4053 is less than the depth DI of the second groove 1011, the side board 4052 occupies a smaller bottom area of the transit slideway 2013. In this case, the side board 4052 will not block the passing of the clothes hanging assemblies 300, but facilitate the clothes hanging assemblies 300 to move smoothly along the transit slideway 2013, thereby rapidly transferring the dried clothes to the transit room 402.
[0040] As can be known from the above technical solutions, the first live splint is directly opened after the clothes are dried, such that the clothes can travel to leave the drying position point, in this case a next clothes waiting thereafter can be directly moved to the drying position point. That is, after a previous clothes is dried, a later clothes can be ready to be dried, thereby improving clothes drying efficiency and reducing time consumed for waiting in queue 1 0 Furthermore, the clothes drying room and the clothes storage room can be effectively separated through the first live splint and the transit room, which can realize Dry-Wet separation, thereby improving clothes drying effect and ensuring dryness of clothes within the clothes storage room, truly realizing integration of clothes storage and clothes drying, effectively reducing time for hanging and collecting clothes, and dramatically improving user's experience When the clothes drying room is not operated for drying, the first live splint can be placed at the al position and the second live splint at the bl position, such that the idle clothes hanging assemblies 300 within the clothes storage room can reversely return to the clothes drying room through the transit room to reserve for drying clothes next time.
