[0002] A fan-type bathroom heater is a bathroom heating device that typically has an air inlet and an air outlet. When in operation, a fan blows air, causing cold air to be blown into the bathroom heater from the air inlet. The bathroom heater is equipped with a heating element, which heats the cold air into hot air, which is then blown out from the air outlet. The circulation of hot air can raise the temperature of the bathroom space.
[0003] In related technologies, the constant temperature control method for bathroom heaters achieves the preset temperature in the bathroom space by controlling the airflow speed of the heater. To illustrate, when the ambient temperature differs significantly from the preset temperature, the airflow speed of the heater is higher; when the ambient temperature is close to the preset temperature, the airflow speed is lower.
[0004] However, in related technologies, if the temperature of the bathroom space differs significantly from the preset temperature when the user enters the bathroom, the airflow speed of the bathroom heater may be too high or too low, causing the user to experience the discomfort of "hot head and cold feet" or "getting colder the more the air blows" while showering, resulting in low performance utilization of the bathroom heater.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0033] In this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish between identical or similar items that have essentially the same function. It should be understood that there is no logical or temporal dependency between "first" and "second", nor is there any limitation on the quantity or execution order.
[0034] In related technologies, the constant temperature control method for bathroom heaters achieves the preset temperature in the bathroom space by controlling the airflow speed of the heater. Illustratively, when the ambient temperature differs significantly from the preset temperature, the airflow speed of the heater is higher; when the ambient temperature is close to the preset temperature, the airflow speed is lower. However, in these technologies, if a user enters the bathroom and the temperature difference between the bathroom space and the preset temperature is significant or minimal, the airflow speed of the heater may be too high or too low, causing the user to experience discomfort such as "hot head, cold feet" or "getting colder the more the heater blows," resulting in low performance utilization of the heater.
[0035] This application provides a method for constant temperature control of a bathroom heater. Taking the application of this method in the controller of the bathroom heater as an example, after the controller obtains biological sensor data and temperature data in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, it will perform the following operations based on the data:
[0036] (1) When the biological sensor data obtained by the bathroom heater controller indicates that there is no specified biological body in the bathroom space, the bathroom heater controller will control the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater based on the temperature data. Optionally, when the temperature of the environment where the bathroom heater is located is significantly different from the target temperature, the bathroom heater controller will control the bathroom heater air outlet to switch to a concentrated air outlet mode to concentrate airflow to the specified location; when the temperature of the environment where the bathroom heater is located is close to the target temperature, the bathroom heater controller will control the bathroom heater air outlet to switch to a diffused air outlet mode to disperse airflow at multiple different angles. By switching the air outlet mode in conjunction with the adjustment of the air outlet temperature and air outlet speed, the temperature of the environment where the bathroom heater is located can quickly reach the target temperature.
[0037] (2) When the biological sensor data obtained by the bathroom heater controller indicates that there is a specified biological body in the bathroom space, the bathroom heater controller will control the bathroom heater air outlet to switch to diffusion air outlet mode to blow air out at multiple different dispersion angles. Optionally, in conjunction with the adjustment of air outlet temperature and air outlet speed, the specified biological body in the bathroom heater environment will be prevented from experiencing the adverse feeling of "hot head and cold feet" or "the more it blows, the colder it gets", thereby improving the performance utilization rate of the bathroom heater.
[0038] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment provided by an exemplary embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the implementation environment includes a bathroom heater controller 101, a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor 102, a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor 103, a stepper motor 104, a louver 105, and a sensor 106.
[0039] The bathroom heater controller 101 can be implemented as a circuit board integrating power supply circuit and microcontroller unit (MCU) chip. Its main control system is a single-chip microcomputer control system. The bathroom heater controller 101 is connected to the bathroom heater host. Optionally, the bathroom heater controller 101 is also connected to a bathroom heater switch. When a control operation is received on the bathroom heater switch, the microcontroller system of the bathroom heater controller 101 will control the bathroom heater to perform relevant operations according to the control operation. For example, when an operation to turn on the bathroom heater is received on the bathroom heater switch, the microcontroller system in the bathroom heater controller 101 will issue an on command, and the main unit of the bathroom heater will start working. Alternatively, the bathroom heater controller 101 is equipped with a remote control signal receiver. When a control operation is received on the remote control, a remote control signal will be sent to the bathroom heater controller 101. After receiving the remote control signal, the bathroom heater controller 101 will control the main unit of the bathroom heater to perform relevant operations. Alternatively, the bathroom heater controller 101 establishes a communication connection with a smart terminal. When a control operation is received on the smart terminal, the smart terminal sends a control command to the bathroom heater controller 101 through a wireless or wired network. After receiving the control command, the bathroom heater controller 101 will control the main unit of the bathroom heater to perform relevant operations.
[0040] The BLDC motor 102 is installed in the main unit of the bathroom heater and connected to the bathroom heater controller 101. It is used to control the air speed of the bathroom heater's air outlet. Optionally, the BLDC motor 102 can drive the impeller in the main unit of the bathroom heater to rotate and control its rotation speed, thereby controlling the air speed of the bathroom heater's air outlet. One BLDC motor 102 can be installed in a bathroom heater, or multiple BLDC motors 102 can be installed.
[0041] The PTC heater 103 is installed in the main unit of the bathroom heater and is used to control the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater. Optionally, the PTC heater 103 is connected to a control relay, which is connected to the bathroom heater controller 101. The control relay can be used to adjust the setting of the PTC heater 103, that is, to adjust the heating temperature of the PTC heater 103 module, thereby controlling the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater. Optionally, one PTC heater 103 or multiple PTC heaters 103 can be installed in a bathroom heater.
[0042] A stepper motor 104 is installed in the main unit of the bathroom heater and is used to control the rotation of the oscillating blade 105 at any angle, thereby switching the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater. The air outlet modes include a diffused air outlet mode and a concentrated air outlet mode. Optionally, please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the working state of the air outlet louvers of a bathroom heater in diffused airflow mode. Figure 2As shown, when the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater is in diffused airflow mode, the stepper motor 201 will control the air outlet flap 202 to diffuse the airflow from the center to both sides, thus increasing the airflow range of the bathroom heater's air outlet; please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the working state of the air outlet flaps in the concentrated airflow mode of the bathroom heater. When the airflow mode of the bathroom heater's air outlet is concentrated, the stepper motor 301 controls the air outlet flaps 302 to concentrate the airflow from both sides towards the center, making the airflow from the bathroom heater's air outlet more focused; optionally, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet flaps have a special slanted design, which allows them to achieve different air outlet modes at different rotation angles.
[0043] Sensor 106 is used to collect environmental data and feed it back to the bathroom heater controller 101. The environmental data includes the environment in which the bathroom heater is located (e.g., the environment in which the bathroom heater is located). Figure 1 The biosensing data and temperature data of the bathroom space; optionally, the sensors include temperature sensors, infrared sensors, position sensors, etc., which are not limited in this application embodiment.
[0044] The bathroom heater controller 101 provides a constant temperature control function for the bathroom heater, as shown in the illustration. Figure 1 As shown, when the bathroom heater controller 101 receives a command to turn on the bathroom heater, it controls the sensor 106 to acquire biological sensing data and temperature data in the bathroom space. After acquiring the data, the sensor 106 feeds the data back to the bathroom heater controller 101. When the biological sensing data acquired by the bathroom heater controller 101 indicates that there is no specified biological body in the bathroom space, the bathroom heater controller 101 will control the airflow direction of the oscillating blade 105 through the stepper motor 104 based on the temperature data, thereby adjusting the airflow mode of the bathroom heater's air outlet; optionally, the bathroom heater controller 101... It also controls the speed of the BLDC motor 102 based on temperature data, thereby adjusting the wind speed at the outlet of the bathroom heater; and controls the speed of the PTC heater 103 based on temperature data, thereby adjusting the air temperature at the outlet of the bathroom heater. To illustrate, the BLDC motor 102 uses a fan to blow air, so that cold air is blown into the bathroom heater unit from the air inlet. The cold air is heated by the PTC heater 103 and becomes hot air. The hot air will be blown out from the outlet of the bathroom heater. The circulation of hot air can drive the bathroom space to heat up.
[0045] When the biological sensor data obtained by the bathroom heater controller 101 indicates that a specified biological body exists in the bathroom space, the bathroom heater controller 101 will control the airflow direction of the oscillating blade 105 through the stepper motor 104, thereby adjusting the airflow mode of the bathroom heater outlet to the diffusion airflow mode.
[0046] It should be noted that all information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.), data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.), and signals involved in this application have been authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use, and processing of related data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations, and standards of the relevant countries and regions. For example, the biosensing data and temperature data involved in this application were obtained with full authorization.
[0047] Based on the above introduction and implementation environment, Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a method for controlling the constant temperature of a bathroom heater according to an embodiment of this application, which is applied to, for example... Figure 1 Taking the bathroom heater controller shown as an example, the method includes:
[0048] Step 401: Obtain environmental data.
[0049] The environmental data includes biological sensory data and temperature data of the environment in which the bathroom heater is located.
[0050] Optionally, the environmental data is obtained through sensors. For example, a bathroom heater / ventilation unit is equipped with a controller and sensors. When the unit is turned on, the sensors are triggered to collect environmental data in real time and feed it back to the controller.
[0051] The sensor is installed on the surface of the bathroom heater unit; alternatively, the sensor is installed at a designated location within the environment where the bathroom heater is located and connected to the bathroom heater unit. This embodiment of the application does not limit the specific type of sensor. Optionally, a bathroom heater may have one sensor or multiple sensors.
[0052] The sensors include temperature sensors and biological data sensors (e.g., infrared sensors, position sensors, etc.). Optionally, the temperature sensor collects temperature data of the environment where the bathroom heater is located, and the biological data sensor collects relevant data of organisms in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, such as body temperature data, position data in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, distance from the air outlet of the bathroom heater, body fat data, weight data, etc.
[0053] Step 402: In response to the biological sensor data indicating that there is no specified biological body in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, control the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater based on the temperature data.
[0054] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 2 The above-mentioned bathroom heater air outlet is composed of multiple special inclined structure 203, which will form multiple air outlets 204. The rotation angle of the inclined structure can be controlled by a stepper motor, thereby adjusting the air outlet direction of the multiple air outlets 204.
[0055] The air outlet modes of the bathroom heater include diffused air outlet mode and concentrated air outlet mode. Diffuse air outlet mode refers to the mode in which the bathroom heater air outlet outlet discharges air to multiple different dispersed angles, while concentrated air outlet mode refers to the mode in which the bathroom heater air outlet outlet discharges air to a designated location.
[0056] Indicatively, in the diffused airflow mode, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet vane 202 can diffuse airflow from the center to both sides. Since the airflow from multiple outlets covers different and non-overlapping areas, the coverage of the bathroom heater's airflow is wider. In the centralized airflow mode, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet flap 302 can concentrate airflow from both sides to the middle. The air blown out by multiple air outlets covers an overlapping area and ultimately converges at a designated location within the environment where the bathroom heater is located.
[0057] In some optional embodiments, multiple temperature sensors are installed in the environment where the bathroom heater is located. These sensors are positioned at various locations within the environment. For example, temperature sensor 1 is installed on the surface of the bathroom heater unit (collecting the ambient temperature under the unit); temperature sensor 2 is installed on one side wall of the bathroom (collecting the ambient temperature around the wall); and temperature sensor 3 is installed under the bathroom window (collecting the ambient temperature near the window). The bathroom heater controller can then selectively concentrate airflow in a centralized airflow mode based on the data collected by the multiple temperature sensors. Optionally, selective centralized airflow may include at least one of the following:
[0058] 1. Compare the ambient temperatures collected by multiple temperature sensors, and select the target location indicated by the temperature sensor with the largest difference from the target temperature as the direction of concentrated airflow.
[0059] For illustration purposes, if the target temperature is 26℃, the ambient temperature indicated by temperature sensor 1 is 18℃, the ambient temperature indicated by temperature sensor 2 is 13℃, and the ambient temperature indicated by temperature sensor 3 is 12℃, then in the centralized air supply mode, the air outlet of the bathroom heater will be mainly directed towards the bathroom window for centralized air supply.
[0060] 2. Compare the ambient temperatures collected by multiple temperature sensors, and determine the time for the bathroom heater's air outlet to concentrate airflow onto the target location in the centralized airflow mode based on the difference between the collected ambient temperatures and the target temperature.
[0061] For example, if the target temperature is 26℃, the ambient temperature indicated by temperature sensor 1 is 18℃, the ambient temperature indicated by temperature sensor 2 is 13℃, and the ambient temperature indicated by temperature sensor 3 is 12℃, then in the centralized air supply mode, the time for centralized air supply from the bathroom heater's air outlet to the bathroom window can be set to 30 seconds; the time for centralized air supply from the bathroom side wall can be set to 20 seconds; and the time for centralized air supply from the space under the bathroom heater unit can be set to 10 seconds. Optionally, centralized air supply can be cyclically performed between the bathroom window, the bathroom side wall, and the space under the bathroom heater unit.
[0062] Optionally, the temperature data includes ambient temperature, which indicates the temperature of the environment in which the bathroom heater / ventilation unit is located. The method for controlling the airflow mode of the bathroom heater / ventilation unit based on the ambient temperature includes at least one of the following methods:
[0063] 1. When the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is greater than a first threshold, the air outlet of the bathroom heater is controlled to output air in a concentrated air outlet mode; when the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is less than or equal to the first threshold, the air outlet of the bathroom heater is controlled to output air in a diffuse air outlet mode.
[0064] The first threshold is a pre-set threshold, illustratively speaking. If the first threshold is 0, then when the ambient temperature is greater than or less than the target temperature, the air outlet of the bathroom heater is controlled to emit concentrated air in a concentrated air outlet mode; when the ambient temperature is equal to the target temperature, the air outlet of the bathroom heater is controlled to emit diffused air in a diffused air outlet mode. If the first threshold is 4℃, then when the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is greater than 4℃ (for example, the ambient temperature is 20℃ and the target temperature is 26℃; or, the ambient temperature is 32℃ and the target temperature is 26℃), the air outlet of the bathroom heater is controlled to emit concentrated air in a concentrated air outlet mode; when the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is less than or equal to 4℃ (for example, the ambient temperature is 23℃ and the target temperature is 26℃; or, the ambient temperature is 26℃ and the target temperature is 26℃), the air outlet of the bathroom heater is controlled to emit diffused air in a diffused air outlet mode.
[0065] Optionally, the target temperature setting includes at least one of the following:
[0066] Scenario 1: The target temperature is a preset temperature.
[0067] For illustrative purposes, the target temperature is the temperature set by the user when turning on the bathroom heater; or, the target temperature is the system default temperature.
[0068] Scenario 2: The target temperature is obtained by analyzing the ambient humidity data collected in real time.
[0069] The ambient humidity is used to indicate the humidity of the environment in which the bathroom heater is located. Optionally, the humidity data of the environment in which the bathroom heater is located can be collected by a humidity sensor.
[0070] The perceived temperature of an organism (e.g., a human) differs from the actual temperature in the environment. Humidity affects the perceived temperature of an organism. For example, at higher temperatures (e.g., above 30°C), the higher the humidity, the higher the perceived temperature at the same temperature. At lower temperatures (e.g., below 15°C), the higher the humidity, the lower the perceived temperature at the same temperature.
[0071] Optionally, a pre-set ambient temperature-humidity-feeling temperature lookup table can be obtained, and the collected humidity and the preset feeler temperature can be matched with the lookup table to obtain the target temperature. For example, if the preset feeler temperature is 26.1℃ and the collected ambient relative humidity is between 35% and 40%, the target temperature can be set to 26.7℃; if the preset feeler temperature is 26.1℃ and the collected ambient relative humidity is 15%, the target temperature can be set to 29.4℃.
[0072] In some optional embodiments, the perceived temperature is also affected by wind speed. The target temperature and wind speed can be determined by the collected humidity data and the preset perceived temperature, thereby limiting the air outlet speed of the bathroom heater to a more suitable range. For example, according to the ambient temperature-ambient humidity-perceived temperature-wind speed comparison table, if the preset perceived temperature is 26.1℃ and the collected relative humidity of the environment is 80%, then the target temperature is 29.4℃ and the wind speed can be controlled between 1.2m / s and 1.8m / s.
[0073] 2. In response to the ambient temperature being within the first preset temperature range, the air outlet of the bathroom heater is controlled to emit air in a concentrated air outlet mode; in response to the ambient temperature being within the second preset temperature range, the air outlet of the bathroom heater is controlled to emit air in a diffuse air outlet mode.
[0074] The first preset temperature range is different from the second preset temperature range.
[0075] Optionally, the first preset temperature range includes multiple first temperature sub-ranges, and the second preset temperature range includes multiple second temperature sub-ranges. For example, taking a temperature range of 0℃ to 35℃ as an illustration, the range is divided into 7 temperature ranges. The first preset temperature range includes: 0℃~5℃, 5℃~10℃, 10℃~15℃, 15℃~20℃, 25℃~30℃, and 30℃~35℃; the second preset temperature range includes: 20℃~25℃. When the ambient temperature is within the range of 0℃~5℃, 5℃~10℃, 10℃~15℃, 15℃~20℃, 25℃~30℃, or 30℃~35℃, the air outlet of the bathroom heater can be controlled to output concentrated air. The air speed of the air outlet can also be adjusted according to the above ranges. For example, the air speed is higher when the temperature is 0℃~5℃ and lower when the temperature is 15℃~20℃. When the ambient temperature is 20℃~25℃, the air outlet of the bathroom heater can be controlled to output diffused air.
[0076] It should be noted that the above description of the method for controlling the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater by ambient temperature is only an illustrative example, and the embodiments of this application do not limit it.
[0077] Step 403: In response to the bio-sensor data indicating the presence of a designated organism in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, control the air outlet of the bathroom heater to diffuse the air in a diffused air outlet mode.
[0078] Optionally, the bio-sensing data includes infrared sensing data, which is used to indicate the movement of a specified organism. Optionally, infrared sensing data of the environment where the bathroom heater is located is collected by an infrared sensor. For example, if the specified organism is a person, the data collected by the infrared sensor can be filtered, and far-infrared radiation with a peak value of 9μm to 10μm (far-infrared radiation emitted by organisms at 36℃ to 37℃) can be used as infrared sensing data; that is, when the infrared sensor collects far-infrared radiation with a peak value of 9μm to 10μm, it indicates that someone is moving in the environment where the bathroom heater is located.
[0079] The method described above for controlling the air outlet of a bathroom heater to diffuse airflow in a diffused airflow mode includes: responding to an infrared sensor data indicating the presence of a designated living organism moving in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, controlling the air outlet of the bathroom heater to diffuse airflow in a diffused airflow mode. For illustration, when a designated living organism moves within the environment where the bathroom heater is located, the air outlet of the bathroom heater is controlled to diffuse airflow in a diffused airflow mode.
[0080] In summary, the constant temperature control method for a bathroom heater provided in this application has two advantages. First, when there are no designated living organisms in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater is controlled based on the acquired temperature data, allowing the air outlet mode to switch between a diffused air outlet mode and a concentrated air outlet mode. This enables the environment where the bathroom heater is located to quickly reach a constant temperature, improving the working efficiency of the bathroom heater and saving energy. Second, when there are designated living organisms in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater is kept in the diffused air outlet mode, avoiding the unpleasant feeling of cold or hot air blowing directly on the user's head while showering, and improving the performance utilization rate of the bathroom heater.
[0081] The method provided in this application embodiment controls the centralized air outlet mode and the diffused air outlet mode based on the ambient temperature when there is no designated living organism in the environment where the bathroom heater is located. The centralized air outlet mode quickly adjusts the ambient temperature to the target temperature, and when the ambient temperature is close to the target temperature, the diffused air outlet mode finely adjusts the ambient temperature, thereby maintaining the temperature balance of the environment where the bathroom heater is located and improving the control capability of the bathroom heater controller for ambient temperature.
[0082] The method provided in this application embodiment determines the presence of a specific living organism moving in the environment where the bathroom heater is located by using infrared sensing data, thereby controlling the air outlet of the bathroom heater to diffuse the air in a diffused air outlet mode, which improves the accuracy of the bathroom heater controller in controlling the air outlet mode.
[0083] In some optional embodiments, while controlling the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater, the air outlet speed and air temperature can also be controlled, so that the temperature of the environment where the bathroom heater is located can be kept constant. Figure 5 This is a flowchart of a method for controlling the constant temperature of a bathroom heater according to an embodiment of this application, which is applied to, for example... Figure 1 Taking the bathroom heater controller shown as an example, the method includes:
[0084] Step 501: Obtain environmental data.
[0085] The environmental data includes biosensor data and temperature data of the environment where the bathroom heater is located. Optionally, the temperature data includes the ambient temperature, which indicates the temperature of the environment where the bathroom heater is located.
[0086] Step 502: In response to the biological sensor data indicating the presence of a designated biological entity in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, and the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature being greater than a first threshold, control the bathroom heater's air outlet to concentrate airflow in a concentrated airflow mode; increase the airflow speed of the bathroom heater's air outlet; and control the airflow temperature of the bathroom heater's air outlet in the direction of adjusting the ambient temperature towards the target temperature.
[0087] Optionally, when the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is greater than the first threshold, the bathroom heater controller increases the power of the BLDC motor, thereby driving the fan wheel in the bathroom heater unit to rotate faster, thus increasing the airflow speed at the bathroom heater's air outlet.
[0088] Optionally, when the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is greater than a first threshold, and the ambient temperature is lower than the target temperature, the bathroom heater controller can control a relay to increase the setting of the PTC heater, that is, increase the heating temperature of the PTC heater module, thereby increasing the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater. When the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is greater than the first threshold, and the ambient temperature is higher than the target temperature, the bathroom heater controller can control a relay to decrease the setting of the PTC heater, that is, decrease the heating temperature of the PTC heater module, thereby decreasing the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater; or, decrease the heating temperature of the PTC heater module to the target temperature, thereby decreasing the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater to the target temperature.
[0089] Step 503: In response to the biological sensor data indicating the presence of a designated biological entity in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, and the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is less than or equal to a first threshold, control the bathroom heater's air outlet to diffuse the air in a diffusion air outlet mode; reduce the air outlet speed of the bathroom heater's air outlet; and control the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater's air outlet in the direction of adjusting the ambient temperature towards the target temperature.
[0090] Optionally, when the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is less than or equal to the first threshold, the bathroom heater controller reduces the power of the BLDC motor, thereby driving the fan wheel in the bathroom heater unit to rotate and slow down, thus reducing the airflow speed at the bathroom heater's air outlet.
[0091] Optionally, when the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is less than or equal to the first threshold, the bathroom heater controller can adjust the PTC heater's setting to the target setting by controlling the relay, thereby adjusting the heating temperature of the PTC heater module to the target temperature, and thus adjusting the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater to the target temperature.
[0092] In some optional embodiments, the above-described method for controlling the air outlet mode, air velocity, and air temperature of the bathroom heater includes at least one of the following:
[0093] 1. In response to the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature being greater than the second threshold, the air outlet of the bathroom heater is controlled to concentrate the airflow in the concentrated airflow mode, and the airflow speed of the bathroom heater air outlet is adjusted to the maximum wind speed corresponding to the air outlet; wherein, the second threshold is greater than or equal to the first threshold.
[0094] To illustrate, when there is a large difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature, the bathroom heater controller increases the power of the BLDC motor to the maximum, thereby driving the fan wheel in the bathroom heater unit to rotate at its maximum speed, thus increasing the airflow speed at the bathroom heater's air outlet to the maximum speed.
[0095] Optionally, when the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is greater than the second threshold, and the ambient temperature is lower than the target temperature, the bathroom heater controller can control the relay to increase the PTC heater's setting to the highest level, thereby increasing the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater to the highest temperature. When the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is greater than the second threshold, and the ambient temperature is higher than the target temperature, the bathroom heater controller can control the relay to decrease the PTC heater's setting to the lowest level, thereby decreasing the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater to the lowest temperature; or, decrease the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater to the target temperature.
[0096] 2. In response to the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature being less than the third threshold, the air outlet of the bathroom heater is controlled to concentrate the airflow in the diffusion airflow mode, and the airflow speed of the bathroom heater outlet is adjusted to the minimum wind speed corresponding to the air outlet of the bathroom heater; wherein, the third threshold is less than or equal to the first threshold.
[0097] Indicatively, when the ambient temperature is close to the target temperature, the bathroom heater controller reduces the BLDC motor to the minimum power, thereby driving the fan wheel in the bathroom heater unit to rotate at a reduced speed, thus reducing the airflow speed at the bathroom heater's air outlet to the minimum speed.
[0098] Optionally, when the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is less than the third threshold, the bathroom heater controller can adjust the PTC heater's setting to the target setting by controlling the relay, that is, adjust the heating temperature of the PTC heater module to the target temperature, thereby adjusting the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater to the target temperature.
[0099] 3. In response to the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature being between the second threshold and the third threshold (inclusive), control the bathroom heater's air outlet to concentrate airflow in a diffused airflow mode; adjust the airflow speed of the bathroom heater's air outlet in a stepped manner according to the preset threshold range; and control the airflow temperature of the bathroom heater's air outlet in the direction of adjusting the ambient temperature towards the target temperature.
[0100] The preset threshold range is a threshold range determined by the second threshold and the third threshold. The preset threshold range includes multiple sub-ranges. For example, if the second threshold is 6℃ and the third threshold is 1℃, the preset threshold range can be set to 1℃~2℃, 2℃~4℃, or 4℃~6℃.
[0101] Optionally, the air outlet speed of the bathroom heater can be adjusted in a stepped manner according to a preset threshold range, that is, the corresponding air outlet speed is matched according to each sub-range in the preset threshold range; for example, if the sub-range is 1℃~2℃, the air outlet speed of the bathroom heater is adjusted to low speed; if the sub-range is 2℃~4℃, the air outlet speed of the bathroom heater is adjusted to medium speed; if the sub-range is 4℃~6℃, the air outlet speed of the bathroom heater is adjusted to high speed.
[0102] Step 504: In response to the bio-sensor data indicating the presence of a designated organism in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, control the air outlet of the bathroom heater to diffuse the air in a diffused air outlet mode.
[0103] Optionally, the aforementioned organism sensing data also includes organism body fat data, which indicates the ratio of fat content to body weight of a specified organism. The organism body fat data is obtained in at least one of the following ways:
[0104] Method 1: Obtain body fat data by setting up a body fat measuring instrument (e.g., electrode pads and pressure sensors) on the floor of the bathroom heater environment.
[0105] To illustrate, when a designated organism comes into contact with the aforementioned body fat measuring instrument, the instrument can collect the body fat data of the designated organism and then feed the collected data back to the bathroom heater controller.
[0106] Method 2: Obtain the body fat data preset by the user as the body fat data of the organism.
[0107] As an example, users can input body fat data into the bathroom heater controller when turning on the heater.
[0108] It should be noted that the above-described method for obtaining body fat data of organisms is merely an illustrative example, and the embodiments of this application do not limit it.
[0109] In some optional embodiments, when a designated organism is present in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, and the difference between the ambient temperature of the environment where the bathroom heater is located and the target temperature is greater than a first threshold, in the diffused air outlet mode, the air velocity at the outlet of the bathroom heater can be increased, and the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater can be adjusted towards the target temperature; when the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is less than or equal to the first threshold, in the diffused air outlet mode, the air velocity at the outlet of the bathroom heater can be decreased, and the air outlet temperature of the bathroom heater can be adjusted towards the target temperature.
[0110] To illustrate, at the same temperature, different people perceive temperature differently. For example, at 29℃, a heavier person will feel hotter, while a thinner person will feel more comfortable. Therefore, the bathroom heater controller can adjust the constant temperature (i.e., the target temperature) of the environment based on the body fat data of the person entering the bathroom. Optionally, the method for adjusting the target temperature includes: lowering the target temperature to a first temperature in response to the body fat data being greater than a reference body fat data; and raising the target temperature to a second temperature in response to the body fat data being less than the reference body fat data.
[0111] The reference body fat data is data pre-set in the bathroom heater controller. When the bathroom heater controller obtains the body fat data of a designated organism entering the bathroom heater environment, it will compare and analyze the body fat data with the reference body fat data. When the body fat data is greater than the reference body fat data, the target temperature will be increased (e.g., increased by 1℃). When the body fat data is less than the reference body fat data, the target temperature will be decreased (e.g., decreased by 1℃). When the body fat data is equal to the reference body fat data (or, the reference body fat data is a range, and the body fat data is within the range of the reference body fat data), the target temperature remains unchanged.
[0112] In summary, the constant temperature control method for a bathroom heater provided in this application has two advantages. First, when there are no designated living organisms in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater is controlled based on the acquired temperature data, allowing the air outlet mode to switch between a diffused air outlet mode and a concentrated air outlet mode. This enables the environment where the bathroom heater is located to quickly reach a constant temperature, improving the working efficiency of the bathroom heater and saving energy. Second, when there are designated living organisms in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater is kept in the diffused air outlet mode, avoiding the unpleasant feeling of cold or hot air blowing directly on the user's head while showering, and improving the performance utilization rate of the bathroom heater.
[0113] The method provided in this application embodiment switches between two air outlet modes based on the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature when there is no designated living organism in the environment where the bathroom heater is located. It also combines the adjustment of the air outlet temperature and the air outlet speed to achieve rapid and efficient heating and keep the ambient temperature of the bathroom heater constant. Therefore, when the ambient temperature of the bathroom heater is uniform, the user will not experience obvious temperature difference when entering the bathroom, thus improving the user experience.
[0114] The method provided in this application embodiment allows for the following: when the ambient temperature differs significantly from the target temperature, the BLDC motor blows air at maximum power, and the air outlet of the bathroom heater is in a concentrated air outlet mode. At this time, the hot air blown out of the bathroom heater's air outlet is concentrated through the inclined air guide structure of the oscillating blades, thereby achieving high wind speed and long-distance air delivery. This enables the bottom of the environment where the bathroom heater is located to heat up rapidly. The hot air at the bottom expands and rises due to its high temperature, causing the environment where the bathroom heater is located to heat up rapidly. When the target temperature is reached or approached, the BLDC motor enters a slow blowing mode, and the air outlet of the bathroom heater is in a diffused air outlet mode, achieving fine adjustment of the ambient temperature where the bathroom heater is located.
[0115] The method provided in this application embodiment also includes body fat data of the organism in the biological data. The constant temperature (target temperature) of the environment where the bathroom heater is located can be adjusted through the body fat data, which saves the user from repeatedly adjusting the temperature of the bathroom heater due to uncertainty about the suitable temperature, and saves the computing resources and electrical energy of the bathroom heater.
[0116] In some optional embodiments, the organism data also includes location data indicating the location of a specified organism. The location data can then be used to determine the location of the specified organism, thereby controlling the airflow direction from the bathroom heater's vent. Figure 6 This is a flowchart of a method for controlling the constant temperature of a bathroom heater according to an embodiment of this application, which is applied to, for example... Figure 1 Taking the bathroom heater controller shown as an example, the method includes:
[0117] Step 601: Obtain environmental data.
[0118] The environmental data includes biological sensory data and temperature data of the environment in which the bathroom heater is located.
[0119] Optionally, the temperature data includes ambient temperature, which indicates the temperature of the environment in which the bathroom heater is located; the ambient temperature is data collected by a temperature sensor.
[0120] Optionally, the biosensing data also includes at least one of the following:
[0121] 1. Location sensing data.
[0122] The aforementioned location sensing data is used to indicate the current location of a specified organism. It is data collected by a location sensor, which is schematically a proximity sensor, such as an ultrasonic positioning sensor. This sensor can calculate the distance between itself and the specified organism by sending and receiving ultrasonic waves, thereby determining the location of the specified organism.
[0123] 2. Distance sensing data.
[0124] The aforementioned distance sensing data is used to indicate the distance between a designated organism and the air outlet of the bathroom heater. It is data collected by a position sensor, which is illustrative. This position sensor is a proximity sensor, such as an ultrasonic positioning sensor. This sensor can calculate the distance between itself and the designated organism by sending and receiving ultrasonic waves, and feed this distance back to the bathroom heater controller, so that the distance between the designated organism and the air outlet of the bathroom heater can be calculated.
[0125] Step 602: In response to the biological sensor data indicating that there is no specified biological body in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, control the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater based on the temperature data.
[0126] The air outlet modes include diffused air outlet mode and concentrated air outlet mode. Diffuse air outlet mode refers to the mode in which the air outlet of the bathroom heater blows air out at multiple different dispersed angles, while concentrated air outlet mode refers to the mode in which the air outlet of the bathroom heater blows air out in a concentrated manner at a designated location.
[0127] Step 603: In response to the biological sensor data indicating the presence of a specific biological entity in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, determine the diffusion range corresponding to the diffusion air outlet mode based on the distance sensor data.
[0128] The aforementioned location sensing data is used to indicate the current location of the specified organism.
[0129] Optionally, the closer the distance sensor data indicates between the designated organism and the air outlet of the bathroom heater, the larger the diffusion range corresponding to the diffusion air outlet mode.
[0130] This is illustrative; please refer to it. Figure 7 When the distance sensor data indicates that the distance between the designated living organism and the bathroom heater's air outlet is 0.5 meters, the stepper motor can control the air outlet's swivel blades 701 to diffuse the air from the center outwards at an angle of 10°; please refer to... Figure 8 When the distance sensor data indicates that the distance between the designated organism and the bathroom heater's air outlet is 0.2 meters, the stepper motor can control the air outlet's swivel blades 801 to diffuse the air from the center outwards at an angle of 15°. (Comparison) Figure 7 and Figure 8 It can be seen that the diffusion range at a diffusion angle of 15° is greater than that at a diffusion angle of 10°.
[0131] Step 604: Based on the diffusion range, control the air outlet of the bathroom heater to diffuse the air in the diffusion mode.
[0132] Indicatively, based on the aforementioned determined louver diffusion angle, the bathroom heater's air outlet is controlled to diffuse air in a diffusion mode based on that diffusion angle.
[0133] In some optional embodiments, the method of controlling the air outlet of the bathroom heater to diffuse air in a diffused air outlet mode further includes: in response to infrared sensing data indicating the presence of a specified living organism moving in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, and position sensing data indicating that the specified living organism is located at a specified position, controlling the air outlet of the bathroom heater to diffuse air in a diffused air outlet mode.
[0134] Optionally, the method of controlling the air outlet of the bathroom heater based on position sensing data further includes at least one of the following:
[0135] 1. In response to infrared sensor data indicating the presence of a specific living organism moving in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, and position sensor data indicating that the specific living organism is located in a specific position, control the air outlet of the bathroom heater to avoid the specified location.
[0136] To illustrate, when a specific living organism is moving in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, the bathroom heater controller can determine the organism's current position based on the organism's position data. The bathroom heater can then avoid blowing directly on that position as much as possible. Optionally, the angle of the oscillating blades corresponding to that position can be increased. Alternatively, if the bathroom heater is equipped with multiple fan wheels, that is, if the BLDC motor can control multiple fan wheels, the rotation speed of the fan wheel corresponding to the current position of the specific living organism can be reduced, thereby reducing the airflow.
[0137] 2. In response to infrared sensor data indicating the presence of a designated living organism moving in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, location sensor data indicating the designated living organism is located at a designated position, and the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is greater than the fourth threshold, control the air outlet of the bathroom heater to cover the designated position.
[0138] As an illustration, when a user enters the environment where the bathroom heater is located, if there is a large difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature, in addition to controlling the bathroom heater's air outlet to emit air in diffusion mode, the air outlet can also be controlled to follow the position of a designated living organism. For example, when the user is located at a position slightly off the edge of the bathroom heater's air outlet, the bathroom heater controller can increase the diffusion angle of the air outlet's swivel blades, so that the user can feel a dispersed but strong airflow at that position.
[0139] In summary, the constant temperature control method for a bathroom heater provided in this application has two advantages. First, when there are no designated living organisms in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater is controlled based on the acquired temperature data, allowing the air outlet mode to switch between a diffused air outlet mode and a concentrated air outlet mode. This enables the environment where the bathroom heater is located to quickly reach a constant temperature, improving the working efficiency of the bathroom heater and saving energy. Second, when there are designated living organisms in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, the air outlet mode of the bathroom heater is kept in the diffused air outlet mode, avoiding the unpleasant feeling of cold or hot air blowing directly on the user's head while showering, and improving the performance utilization rate of the bathroom heater.
[0140] The method provided in this application embodiment includes location data indicating the location of a specified organism in the organism data. The location of the specified organism can be determined by the location data, thereby controlling the airflow direction of the bathroom heater vent and realizing fine-grained control of the bathroom heater controller in the airflow mode.
[0141] The method provided in this application embodiment, when a designated organism is present in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, will avoid the air from the bathroom heater's air outlet from blowing directly on the user based on the collected location data, thereby improving the user's experience.
[0142] The method provided in this application embodiment, when a designated organism is present in the environment where the bathroom heater is located, can control the air outlet range of the bathroom heater to cover the user when the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature is large, so that the user can feel the dispersed but strong air force, further improving the user's experience.
[0143] The method provided in this application embodiment can determine the diffusion range of the air outlet in the diffusion blowing mode based on the acquired distance sensing data, thereby improving the working efficiency of the bathroom heater.
[0144] This is illustrative; please refer to it. Figure 9 The following is a schematic diagram illustrating the system architecture of a bathroom heater thermostat control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 As shown:
[0145] The constant temperature system of this bathroom heater mainly consists of two parts: the temperature control system 900 and the airflow control system 910.
[0146] (1) The temperature control system 900 is mainly implemented by the sensor 901, the speed regulating motor 902 and the multi-stage PTC heater 903.
[0147] Optionally, the sensor 901 includes a temperature sensor, a position sensor, an infrared sensor, etc.; the speed-regulating motor 902 can be implemented as a BLDC motor; and the multi-level PTC heater 903 can be implemented as a PTC module with 2 to 3 levels.
[0148] To illustrate, the bathroom heater thermostat system achieves stepless speed adjustment by controlling the speed-regulating motor 902; it achieves precise control of the heat generated by the bathroom heater by controlling the PTC gear switching by controlling the relay; the sensor, as a module for collecting actual environmental parameters, feeds the signal back to the bathroom heater thermostat system for closed-loop control, thereby achieving constant temperature regulation of the environment where the bathroom heater is located.
[0149] (2) The wind direction control system 910 mainly includes two air outlet modes: centralized air outlet mode 911 and diffused air outlet mode 912.
[0150] Optionally, in the centralized air outlet mode 911, the hot air blown out of the bathroom heater's air outlet is concentrated through the sloping air guide structure of the oscillating blades, thereby achieving high wind speed and long-distance air delivery. This enables the bottom of the environment where the bathroom heater is located to heat up quickly, and the hot air at the bottom expands and rises due to the high temperature, causing the environment where the bathroom heater is located to heat up rapidly. In the diffused air outlet mode 912, the hot air blown out of the bathroom heater's air outlet is diffused in different directions through the sloping air guide structure of the oscillating blades, thereby achieving wide-range air delivery. This enables the top of the environment where the bathroom heater is located to heat up quickly, and the hot air at the top will slowly sink, finely regulating the temperature of the environment where the bathroom heater is located, so that the temperature of the environment where the bathroom heater is located can be kept constant.
[0151] Please refer to Figure 10 The diagram illustrates a structural block diagram of a bathroom heater thermostat control device according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. The device includes:
