[0052] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0053] Embodiment 1

[0054] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning method of the air purifier provided in this embodiment includes:

[0055] S31. Obtain the current working mode and current value of the air purifier in the working state.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the air purifier is in working state, the current working mode and the current current value of the air purifier are obtained, wherein the working mode can be a working voltage mode, for example, three working voltage modes of 8KV, 7KV and 6KV are set; the current value is the current value passing through the voltage doubling module in the plate body.

[0057] Optionally, the working voltage mode can be determined according to different purification modes of the air purifier, for example, the first purification mode corresponds to a 6KV working voltage mode, the second purification mode corresponds to a 7KV working voltage mode, and the third purification mode corresponds to an 8KV working voltage mode. The current working mode, that is, the current working voltage mode, can be determined according to the current purification mode.

[0058] S32. Determine a cleaning strategy for the plate body of the air purifier based on the current working mode and the current current value.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, a cleaning strategy for the plate body of the air purifier can be pre-set to trigger the cleaning of the plate body when conditions are met, that is, different operating voltage modes correspond to different current standard values. When the current of the voltage doubling module is less than the standard value, it can be determined that the plate body is dirty and needs to be cleaned.

[0060] For example, the air purifier operates in 8KV working voltage mode. At this time, the current value of the normal working state is 160mA. If the normal working feedback current value of the voltage doubler module is detected to be lower than the set current reference value of 160mA for 30ms continuously, it can be judged that the plate body is too dirty and needs to be cleaned.

[0061] S33. Controlling the plate cleaning structure based on the cleaning strategy so that the plate cleaning structure cleans the plate body of the air purifier.

[0062] The plate cleaning structure is controlled based on the cleaning strategy determined above, and the plate cleaning structure is used to clean the plate body of the air purifier.

[0063] Specifically, combined Figure 4 As shown:

[0064] S41. Determine a reference current value corresponding to the current working mode based on the current working mode.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, the corresponding relationship between the working mode and the reference current value can be set, as shown in Table 1:

[0066] Working Mode Reference current value 8KV 160mA 7KV 70mA 6KV 40mA

[0067] Table 1

[0068] It should be noted that the reference current value corresponding to the working mode can be determined according to actual conditions, and this embodiment is only for illustration.

[0069] S42: If the duration that the current current value is less than the reference current value is greater than or equal to a preset time threshold, determining that the cleaning strategy is to clean the plate body of the air purifier.

[0070] According to the current working voltage mode of the air purifier obtained, query Table 1 to determine the reference current value corresponding to the current working voltage mode, and obtain the current current value of the currently detected voltage doubling module. If the duration of the current current value being less than the reference current value is greater than or equal to a preset time threshold (for example, 30ms), it can be determined that the cleaning strategy requires cleaning the plate body of the air purifier.

[0071] S43: If the current current value is greater than or equal to the reference current value, determine that the cleaning strategy is not to clean the plate body of the air purifier.

[0072] Optionally, if the current current value is greater than or equal to the reference current value, it indicates that the plate body is not dirty, and the cleaning strategy may be determined as not to clean the plate body of the air purifier.

[0073] S44: If it is determined that the cleaning strategy is to clean the plate body of the air purifier, a cleaning instruction is sent to the plate cleaning structure so that the plate cleaning structure cleans the plate body of the air purifier.

[0074] If it is determined that the plate body of the air purifier needs to be cleaned, a cleaning instruction is sent to the plate cleaning structure so that the plate cleaning structure cleans the plate body of the air purifier, wherein the cleaning instruction carries the target plate cleaning structure identifier and the target plate body identifier to be cleaned so that the corresponding plate cleaning structure cleans its corresponding plate body.

[0075] S45: If it is determined that the cleaning strategy is not to clean the plate body of the air purifier, control the plate cleaning structure to maintain a standby state.

[0076] Optionally, if there is no need to clean the plate body of the air purifier, no cleaning instruction is generated, and all plate cleaning structures are controlled to remain in a standby state.

[0077] S46. Re-detect whether the first current value of the air purifier in the working state is less than the reference current value.

[0078] S47. If the first current value is less than the reference current value, control the air purifier to change the current working mode to the first working mode, wherein the voltage value of the first working mode is less than the voltage value of the current working mode.

[0079] S48. If the first current value is greater than or equal to the reference current value, control the air purifier to maintain the current working mode unchanged.

[0080] The following is a unified description of S46-S48:

[0081] After the plate cleaning structure has finished cleaning the plate body, it enters the working mode again to detect the current, re-detects the current value of the air purifier in the current working voltage mode, and determines whether the current value reaches the current reference value. If the current value reaches the reference value after cleaning, it continues to operate in the current working voltage mode. If the current cannot reach the reference value, it is determined that the air purifier cannot support working in this state, and needs to operate in the first-level working voltage mode.

[0082] For example, if the air purifier is originally running in the 8KV working voltage mode, and the current value is less than the reference value (160mA), after the plate body is cleaned, the current value reaches the reference value, then the air purifier can continue to operate in the 8KV working voltage mode. If the current cannot reach the reference value, it is determined that the air purifier cannot support working in this state and needs to operate in the 7KV working voltage mode.

[0083] The control method of the air purifier provided by the present invention obtains the current working mode and the current current value of the air purifier in the working state; determines the cleaning strategy of the plate body of the air purifier based on the current working mode and the current current value; controls the plate cleaning structure based on the cleaning strategy, so that the plate cleaning structure cleans the plate body of the air purifier. Compared with the prior art, the plate body will continuously absorb dust during operation, and the dust will easily cause the voltage value of the plate body to change, thereby affecting the long-term stable operation of the air purifier. The user needs to frequently clean the plate of the air purifier. According to the method, the working mode of the plate body can be automatically adjusted by current detection, and the plate cleaning structure can clean the plate body when the conditions are met, so that the plate body is kept in a tidy state and the performance of the whole machine is guaranteed.
