Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0024] In the present invention, the technical solution can be applied to the control of household appliances, such as the control of range hoods. In the subsequent description, the technical solution of the present invention will be described by combining the control scenario of range hoods as an example, but it should be noted that the technical solution of the present invention can be applied not only to the control of range hoods, and this is not limited here.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a flow chart of a method for controlling a range hood provided by the present invention. Figure 1 The range hood control method provided by the present invention can be executed by the range hood control device provided by the present invention, and the device can be implemented in software and / or hardware. In a specific embodiment, the device can be integrated into a household appliance, and the household appliance can be a range hood, an integrated stove, etc. The following embodiments will be described by taking the range hood control device integrated into a household appliance as an example. Figure 1 The range hood control method of this embodiment may specifically include the following steps:

[0026] S101, detecting the exhaust pressure generated by the range hood operating at the current power.

[0027] Specifically, the exhaust pressure is the pressure of smoke exhaust from the range hood. The greater the exhaust pressure, the better the smoke exhaust effect. When using the range hood, the user selects a gear according to the actual situation. After the range hood receives the command to determine the gear, it starts the fan. After the fan starts, it uses a given current to drive the motor to start running. During the operation of the motor, the current speed of the motor is detected. Based on the detected speed, the current power, current air volume and current exhaust pressure of the range hood are calculated. The air pressure and air volume can be calculated using the following formulas (1) and (2):

[0028] q=G(n,r) (1)

[0029] In the above formula (1), q is the air volume, n is the power, and r is the rotation speed.

[0030] p=H(q,r) (2)

[0031] In the above formula (2), p is the wind pressure.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the user actually uses the range hood, due to the different back pressures of the public flue, even if the given current is the same, the subsequent calculated rotation speed and power will be different.

[0033] S102: Determine the pressure level to which the exhaust pressure belongs.

[0034] Specifically, the pressure level can be determined by the maximum static pressure value of the range hood, and the current smoke exhaust pipe pressure level can be determined by the pressure level to which the exhaust pressure of the range hood belongs, so as to determine whether the power of the range hood needs to be increased or decreased in the future. When the range hood is in use, the range hood will automatically adjust the output power according to the smoke exhaust pipe pressure. When the smoke exhaust pipe pressure is very high, that is, the smoke exhaust pipe is very clogged, the range hood will increase the output power to increase the air volume. However, at this time, the smoke exhaust pipe is very clogged. Even if the output power of the range hood is increased, the smoke exhaust effect cannot be effectively improved, and the noise of the range hood is increased at the same time. Therefore, the pressure level to which the exhaust pressure belongs can be used to determine whether increasing the power can effectively exhaust smoke, and the pressure level can be determined based on the maximum static pressure value of the range hood.

[0035] S103: When the pressure level exceeds the preset pressure level, reducing the current power to a first target power.

[0036] Specifically, the first target power is the power determined by the standard required noise. The noise generated by the range hood according to the first target power meets the user's requirements for noise. The first target power can be a built-in fixed value. When the pressure level exceeds the preset pressure level, it indicates that the smoke exhaust pipe of the range hood is very blocked. Even if the output power of the range hood is increased, the smoke exhaust effect cannot be effectively improved. At this time, reducing noise is the primary goal. It is sufficient to maintain a large wind pressure and reasonable noise, and the current power can be reduced to the first target power built into the range hood.

[0037] For example, it can be from 0 to P max (maximum static pressure value) is divided into the first pressure level, the second pressure level or the third pressure level, etc., which is not limited here. The preset pressure level is set to the second pressure level, and the pressure level to which the exhaust pressure belongs is compared with the preset second pressure level to determine whether it exceeds the preset pressure level and then determine the pressure level of the exhaust pipe. Or it can be from 0 to P max The pressure of the range hood duct is divided into comfortable section, congestion section and blocking section, which can be specifically expressed as: 0 to P 舒适 For the comfort segment, P 舒适 To P 拥堵 Congested section, P 拥堵 To P 堵塞 The exhaust pressure generated by the range hood at the current power is matched with the values ​​of the comfort segment, congestion segment, and congestion segment. When the match with the congestion segment is successful, it indicates that the exhaust pipe of the range hood is very blocked. At this time, noise reduction is the main focus. When the current noise corresponding to the current power does not meet the preset noise condition, the current power is reduced to the first target power. When the match with the comfort segment or congestion segment is successful, the exhaust effect is used to determine whether the current power needs to be increased to the second target power. Among them, P 舒适 and P 拥堵 The split point can be set artificially through experiments.

[0038] S104: When the pressure level does not exceed the preset pressure level, the current power is increased to a second target power.

[0039] Specifically, the second target power is the power determined according to the exhaust effect of the exhaust pipe, and the exhaust effect generated by the range hood according to the second target power meets the user's requirements. When the pressure level does not exceed the preset pressure level, it indicates that the range hood pipe is in a comfortable state or a congested state, but not completely blocked. When the range hood increases its output power, the exhaust effect can be effectively improved. At this time, the exhaust effect of the range hood can be given priority, and noise reduction can be used as a supplement, and the current power can be reduced to the target power built into the range hood.

[0040] Exemplarily, if the preset pressure level is set to the second pressure level, the pressure level to which the exhaust pressure belongs is the first level, and compared with the preset second pressure level, if it does not exceed the preset pressure level, the current power can be increased to the second target power.

[0041] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the exhaust pressure generated by the range hood running at the current power is detected; the pressure level to which the exhaust pressure belongs is determined; when the pressure level exceeds the preset pressure level, the current power is reduced to the first target power; when the pressure level does not exceed the preset pressure level, the current power is increased to the second target power. In the present invention, the pressure level to which the exhaust pressure generated by the range hood running at the current power belongs is detected to further determine the pressure level of the current exhaust pipe. When the pressure level of the current exhaust pipe indicates that the exhaust pipe is blocked, the current power is reduced to the target power, which not only avoids the range hood from doing useless work, but also reduces noise. When the pressure level of the current exhaust pipe indicates that the exhaust pipe is comfortable or congested, the current power is increased to the target power, which improves the exhaust effect and avoids excessive noise.

[0042] The range hood control method provided by the present invention is further described below. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a flow chart of a method for controlling a range hood provided by the present invention. Figure 2 The method may specifically include the following steps:

[0043] S201, detecting the cruise mode of the range hood.

[0044] Specifically, the cruise mode of the range hood can include a multi-gear constant current mode and an automatic cruise mode. The multi-gear constant current mode requires the user to select the gear by himself, and the automatic cruise mode can automatically adjust the fan speed according to the pipeline pressure. The range hood in the automatic cruise mode can be set with a "smart wind" button. When using the range hood, the user can press a button to select the gear according to the actual situation. After selecting once, the user does not need to participate in the subsequent selection. When the current gear is not suitable, the range hood can automatically select the appropriate gear. Therefore, when using the range hood, you can first detect the cruise mode of the range hood.

[0045] S202: When the cruise mode is the automatic circulation mode, trigger the execution of detecting the exhaust pressure generated by the range hood operating at the current power.

[0046] Specifically, when the cruise mode of the range hood is the automatic circulation mode, the user can send a gear selection instruction to the range hood. After receiving the gear selection instruction, the range hood starts the fan. After the fan is started, the motor is driven by a given current to start running. During the operation of the motor, the current speed of the motor is detected, and the current power and current air volume of the range hood are calculated based on the detected speed, and the current exhaust pressure is further calculated.

[0047] S203: Determine the pressure level to which the exhaust pressure belongs.

[0048] S204: When the pressure level exceeds the preset pressure level, determine whether the current noise generated by the range hood when operating at the current power exceeds the preset noise.

[0049] Specifically, the current exhaust pressure of the range hood is matched with the divided pressure level to determine the pressure level to which the exhaust pressure belongs, and then the pressure level of the current exhaust pipe is determined. When the pressure level exceeds the preset pressure level, it indicates that the range hood pipe is very clogged. Even if the output power of the range hood is increased, the exhaust effect cannot be effectively improved. At this time, reducing noise is the primary goal. Determine the current noise generated by the range hood at the current power, compare the current noise with the preset noise, and determine whether the current noise exceeds the preset noise.

[0050] S205: When the current noise exceeds the preset noise, determine the first target power according to the standard required noise, and the standard required noise is less than the current noise.

[0051] Exemplarily, the preset noise can be set to 65 decibels (db), and the standard required noise can be set to 60db, which is the decibel acceptable to people indoors. When the current noise is 80db, which exceeds 65db, the current power can be subsequently reduced to the power corresponding to 60db (the first target power).

[0052] S206: Reduce the current power to the first target power.

[0053] Specifically, the standard required noise is the noise acceptable to the user. When the current noise exceeds the preset noise, the first target power is determined according to the standard required noise, and then the current power is reduced to the first target power.

[0054] In this embodiment, after the current power is reduced to the first target power, if the user does not accept the noise corresponding to the first target power based on the actual situation, the user can interact with the range hood to reduce the power, thereby further improving the user experience. When the user interacts with the range hood, the user can do so by voice, message sending, or keystroke, which is not limited here.

[0055] S207: When the current noise does not exceed the preset noise, maintain the current power operation.

[0056] Specifically, when the current noise does not exceed the preset noise, it indicates that the noise of the range hood when operating at the current power meets the user's needs, and the current power operation can be maintained.

[0057] Exemplarily, the preset noise may be set to 65 decibels (db). If the current noise is 62 db, which is still within a range acceptable to the user, the system will be operated at a power corresponding to 62 db.

[0058] S208: When the pressure level does not exceed the preset pressure level, determine whether the actual smoke exhaust effect of the range hood when operating at the current power meets the preset smoke exhaust effect.

[0059] Specifically, when the pressure level does not exceed the preset pressure level, it indicates that the range hood duct is in a comfortable state or a congested state, but not completely blocked. When the range hood increases its output power, the exhaust effect can be effectively improved. At this time, the exhaust effect of the range hood is the main factor, and noise reduction is secondary. The actual exhaust effect of the range hood when it is running at the current power is obtained to determine whether the actual exhaust effect meets the preset exhaust effect.

[0060] For example, the actual exhaust effect of the range hood when it is running at the current power can be obtained through sensors, such as optical sensors, chemical sensors or electrochemical sensors, etc., which are not limited here. Optical sensors can be used to introduce light sources into the kitchen space through optical fiber cables, and the exhaust effect in the kitchen air can be judged by monitoring changes in light scattering, absorption, etc. Chemical sensors can sense harmful substances in oil smoke through adsorption and reaction, so as to monitor and so on.

[0061] S209: When the actual smoke exhaust effect does not meet the preset smoke exhaust effect, if the exhaust pressure belongs to a mild pressure level, determining a second target power according to the target smoke exhaust effect, and the target smoke exhaust effect is better than the actual smoke exhaust effect.

[0062] Specifically, when the actual smoke exhaust effect does not meet the preset smoke exhaust effect, the exhaust pressure level is further judged. If the exhaust pressure belongs to the mild pressure level, it indicates that the smoke exhaust duct of the range hood is in a comfortable section and it is very easy to exhaust smoke. The constant air volume determination method can be adopted to ensure a certain exhaust volume to ensure the smoke exhaust effect. The second target power can be determined according to the target smoke exhaust effect.

[0063] Exemplarily, the preset pressure level can be set to the third pressure level. When it is not less than the third pressure level, it can be a severe pressure level, and when it is less than the third pressure level, it can be a moderate pressure level or a light pressure level. Specifically, if it is the first pressure level, it can be a light pressure level, and if it is the second pressure level, it can be a moderate pressure level. The division of moderate pressure level or light pressure level can be set by oneself, and there is no limitation here.

[0064] For example, if the current power corresponds to 2nd gear and 10 wind volume, when the actual smoke exhaust effect does not meet the preset smoke exhaust effect and the air pressure belongs to the mild pressure level, that is, the pressure level of the smoke exhaust pipe is in the comfortable section, then it is only necessary to increase the current power to the second target power determined according to the target smoke exhaust effect in S212. Among them, the gear and wind volume corresponding to the second target power can be 4th gear and 14 wind volume, which has the best smoke exhaust effect.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the actual effect meets the preset smoke exhaust effect, the range hood is kept running at the current power.

[0066] S210: When the actual smoke exhaust effect does not meet the preset smoke exhaust effect, if the exhaust pressure belongs to the medium pressure level, determine the ideal smoke exhaust effect corresponding to the current power.

[0067] For example, if the current power corresponds to 3rd gear with 12 air volumes, and the actual smoke exhaust effect of this air volume does not meet the preset smoke exhaust effect, the current gear should be increased to the gear air volume corresponding to the target power built into the range hood, such as 4th gear with 14 air volumes. However, if the exhaust pressure is at a moderate pressure level, indicating that the range hood duct is in a congested state, in the congested state, using the air volume of gear 4 for smoke exhaust will dilute the smoke exhaust effect to a certain extent, that is, weaken the smoke exhaust effect. Therefore, the 3rd gear corresponding to the current power should be increased to 5th gear with 16 air volumes to achieve 4th gear with 14 air volumes in order to obtain the ideal smoke exhaust effect.

[0068] S211. Determine a second target power according to an ideal smoke exhaust effect.

[0069] S212: Increase the current power to the second target power.

[0070] Specifically, if the exhaust pressure belongs to the medium pressure level, it indicates that the range hood duct is in a congested state. In the congested state, using the current power to exhaust smoke will dilute the exhaust effect of the current power to a certain extent. Therefore, the second target power can be determined based on the ideal exhaust effect of the current power, and finally the current power can be increased to the second target power.

[0071] In this embodiment, when the range hood is used next time, the user may select the gear corresponding to the first target power or the second target power as the initial gear.

[0072] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the cruise mode of the range hood is detected. When the cruise mode is the automatic cycle mode, the user triggers the execution of the detection of the exhaust pressure generated by the range hood under the current power, so that the range hood can automatically judge and choose whether to reduce or increase the current power according to the current exhaust pressure, without user operation, which improves the user experience. The pressure level of the range hood pipeline is segmented based on the maximum static pressure value of the range hood, and the pressure level of the exhaust pressure detected when the range hood is running is determined to determine the pressure level of the current exhaust pipe. When the pressure level exceeds the preset pressure level, it is determined that even if the output power of the range hood is increased, the exhaust effect cannot be effectively improved. At this time, the output power of the range hood is no longer forcibly increased to avoid ineffective exhaust. It is determined whether the current noise generated by the range hood when it is running at the current power exceeds the preset noise. When the current noise exceeds the preset noise, the current power is reduced to the first target power. The noise generated by the first target power is the standard required power. This method avoids ineffective exhaust of the range hood when the exhaust pipe is blocked and reduces the noise. When the pressure level does not exceed the preset pressure level, it is determined that the output power of the range hood is increased, and the exhaust effect can be effectively improved. Determine whether the actual exhaust effect of the range hood when it is running at the current power meets the preset exhaust effect. When the actual exhaust effect does not meet the preset exhaust effect, further determine whether the exhaust pressure belongs to the light pressure level or the medium pressure level. When it is the light pressure level, increase the current power to the second target power, so that the exhaust effect is better after the range hood power is increased. At the medium pressure level, because the range hood pipe is in a congested state, the exhaust effect corresponding to the current power will be diluted to a certain extent. Therefore, the second target power is determined according to the ideal exhaust effect of the current power, so that the exhaust effect of the range hood is improved.
