EXAMPLE III

The present embodiment provides a method for controlling an ironing apparatus, including:

s31, determining a corresponding target ironing program according to the type of the clothes to be ironed.

In the embodiment of the present invention, mapping relationships between different types of clothes and corresponding ironing programs are stored in advance, a user may select and input the type of the clothes on a control panel of an ironing device, query the mapping relationship between the type of the clothes and the corresponding ironing program according to the obtained type of the clothes, and determine a corresponding target ironing program, where the type of the clothes includes, but is not limited to: the material of the clothes, the thickness of the clothes and the like.

And S32, when the clothes are determined to be placed in the preset area, controlling a locking mechanism to lock the preset area by receiving the triggering operation of the object on the target ironing program.

After the target ironing program is determined, a user can click a confirmation opening button, at the moment, the locking mechanism is opened, the user can place clothes to be ironed on the bottom plate, meanwhile, the steam generating unit generates steam to preheat the preset area, the preheating temperature is lower than a set temperature threshold value (for example, 40 ℃), the situation that the user is scalded when the clothes are placed can be avoided by controlling the preset temperature to be lower than the temperature threshold value, after the user places the clothes, the cover plate is closed, the locking mechanism is controlled to lock the preset area at the moment, and the preset area is the bottom plate area.

And S33, performing ironing operation on the clothes by adopting the target ironing program.

And S34, acquiring the temperature data of the preset area when the clothes ironing is finished.

After the preset area is determined to be locked by the locking mechanism, the clothes to be ironed in the preset area are ironed according to the target ironing program, when the clothes are ironed, the temperature data of the preset area can be obtained in real time, and when the temperature of the preset area is smaller than or equal to a set temperature threshold (for example, 40 ℃), the buzzer can be started to remind a user.

Optionally, if the user suddenly suspends ironing during the ironing process, the locking mechanism may be turned on after the temperature of the preset area is less than or equal to the set temperature threshold, so as to prevent the user from being scalded.

And S35, when the temperature data is less than or equal to the set temperature threshold value, generating an ironing completion message of the clothes.

After the normal ironing program is finished, when the temperature data in the preset area is detected to be less than or equal to the temperature threshold, a message of finishing ironing the clothes is generated, the buzzer can be controlled to start, the user is prompted to finish ironing the clothes, at this time, if the user triggers the confirmation button within the preset time (for example, 10 minutes), the locking mechanism is controlled to be started, the user can take out the clothes, the steam generating unit stops heating, and then the power supply can be controlled to be turned off after the preset time period (for example, 10 minutes).

Optionally, if the user does not trigger the confirmation button within the preset time, the buzzer is controlled to intermittently remind the user of finishing ironing the clothes, at this time, the steam generation unit is controlled to keep the constant temperature within the preset area at the preset temperature, the clothes ironing effect is guaranteed, when the user still does not take out the clothes within 24 hours, the steam generation unit is controlled to stop heating, and then the power supply can be controlled to be turned off after the preset time period.

The ironing device control method provided by the invention determines a corresponding target ironing program according to the type of clothes to be ironed; when the clothes are determined to be placed in the preset area, ironing the clothes by adopting the target ironing program; when the clothes are ironed, acquiring temperature data of the preset area; and when the temperature data is less than or equal to a set temperature threshold value, generating an ironing completion message of the clothes. Can iron according to clothing type pertinence and guarantee that the temperature in predetermineeing the region can only be taken out when reducing below predetermineeing the temperature, avoid the clothing to be damaged the condition of avoiding operating personnel to be scalded simultaneously.

It should be understood that the above examples are only for clarity of illustration and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Other variations and modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art in light of the above description. And are neither required nor exhaustive of all embodiments. And obvious variations or modifications therefrom are within the scope of the invention.
