In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0028] An intelligent household appliance device refers to a household appliance product formed by introducing microprocessor, sensor technology, and network communication technology into household appliance devices, and has the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent perception, and intelligent application. The operation process of intelligent household appliance devices often depends on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet, and electronic chips. For example, an intelligent household appliance device can be connected to an electronic device to realize remote control and management of the intelligent household appliance device by the user.

[0029] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, casters are provided at the bottom of the dehumidifier, and the dehumidifier can be moved under the drive of a power mechanism. Optionally, the casters are electric casters. The dehumidifier further includes a storage battery, which provides power for the power mechanism of the electric casters and, at the same time, provides power for the dehumidifying operation of the dehumidifier. In this way, the dehumidifier can operate without being plugged in during the working process, avoiding the charging cable being wound during autonomous movement. When the power of the storage battery is insufficient, the dehumidifier can move to a power source for charging. When the dehumidifier is in a non-moving state, it can only detect the humidity of the surrounding environment through the sensors installed on itself and cannot obtain the humidity of other areas. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the dehumidifier is linked with other intelligent household appliances to obtain the humidity of each area in the room. Alternatively, sensors for detecting humidity are arranged in each area of the room, and the processor of the dehumidifier receives the detection values of the humidity sensors to obtain the humidity information of each area in the room, thereby controlling the dehumidifier to move for dehumidification.

[0030] Combined with Figure 1 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling a dehumidifier, including:

[0031] S101, the processor obtains the humidity of each area in the room.

[0032] S102, when the humidity indicates that there are multiple target areas to be dehumidified, the processor determines the dehumidifying movement path of the dehumidifier according to the humidity of the target areas.

[0033] S103, the processor controls the dehumidifier to dehumidify the target areas according to the dehumidifying movement path.

[0034] Here, as described above, other household appliances or humidity sensors can be linked to obtain the humidity of each area in the room. Among them, each area in the room refers to different rooms, such as bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. Then, according to the obtained humidity, it is judged whether each area needs to be dehumidified. A humidity threshold can be set. For example, the environmental humidity that makes users feel comfortable is 40%-65%. If the humidity threshold is set to 65%, if the humidity of a certain area is greater than 65%, it indicates that the area needs to be dehumidified. This area is determined as the target area to be dehumidified. Further, when there are multiple target areas that need to be dehumidified, the movement path of the dehumidifier needs to be formulated. Specifically, the dehumidifying movement path of the dehumidifier is determined in combination with the humidity of the target areas. It can be to dehumidify the target areas with higher humidity and gradually move to the target areas with lower humidity; or it can be to dehumidify the target areas with lower humidity and gradually move to the target areas with higher humidity. Subsequently, the dehumidifier is controlled to dehumidify each target area according to the determined dehumidifying movement path.

[0035] In some embodiments, the dehumidifier further includes a dust removal module and a humidity sensor disposed on the dehumidifier. During the dust removal process of the dehumidifier, the humidity of each area can be detected. Then, based on the detected humidity, it can be determined whether each area needs dehumidification. Further, when determining the dehumidification movement path, in order to avoid the dehumidifier touching indoor items during movement, the indoor layout information can be obtained. Combining the indoor layout information and the humidity of the target area, the dehumidification movement route of the dehumidifier is determined to automatically avoid obstacles during the movement of the dehumidifier. Among them, the acquisition of the indoor layout information map can be stored by the user in the cloud server, and the processor calls it from the cloud server. Or, a radar sensor can be set in the dehumidifier. When the dehumidifier first performs dust removal on the whole house, it scans the whole house information to generate an indoor layout information map and stores it in the local server. In this way, the processor can directly call it.

[0036] Using the method for controlling a dehumidifier provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is determined whether each area needs dehumidification according to the humidity of each area in the room. In the case where multiple areas have a dehumidification requirement, the dehumidification movement path of the dehumidifier is determined. The dehumidifier dehumidifies each target area according to the dehumidification movement path. In this way, the humidity information of each area can be combined to independently determine the dehumidification movement path and control the movement of the dehumidifier for dehumidification. Thereby, the intelligence level of the dehumidifier is improved, the control of the dehumidifier is made user-friendly, and the user experience is improved.

[0037] Optionally, in step S102, the processor determines that the humidity indicates a target area to be dehumidified in the following manner:

[0038] The processor obtains the preset humidity thresholds for each area in the room.

[0039] The processor compares the magnitude of each humidity with the humidity threshold of its corresponding area, and takes the area where the humidity is greater than the corresponding humidity threshold as the target area to be dehumidified.

[0040] Here, due to differences in environment and function in different areas of the room, there are differences in humidity. And users have different humidity requirements for different areas. For example, users have higher humidity requirements for bedrooms and living rooms, and lower humidity requirements for kitchens and bathrooms. Therefore, the humidity thresholds for bedrooms and living rooms can be preset to 55%; the humidity thresholds for kitchens and bathrooms can be preset to 65%. In addition, the preset humidity thresholds for each area can be the same or different. The processor stores the humidity thresholds preset by the user for easy calling at any time. Obtain the preset humidity thresholds, and compare the humidity detection values of each area with their corresponding humidity thresholds. If the humidity detection value of this area is greater than the corresponding humidity threshold, it indicates that this area needs dehumidification, and this area is taken as the target area to be dehumidified.

[0041] Optionally, the dehumidification movement path includes a dehumidification movement sequence; in step S102, the processor determines the dehumidification movement path of the dehumidifier according to the humidity of the target area, including:

[0042] The processor arranges the corresponding target area order according to the humidity magnitude relationship.

[0043] The processor takes the arrangement order of the target areas as the dehumidifying movement order of the dehumidifier.

[0044] Here, when there are multiple target areas to be dehumidified, the dehumidifier needs to dehumidify each target area separately. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the dehumidifying movement path of the dehumidifier. Specifically, the dehumidifying order of each target area is sorted according to the humidity relationship from high to low of each target area. The dehumidifier gradually moves from the target area with high humidity to the target area with low humidity. Among them, after the humidity of the current target area reaches the preset humidity threshold, the dehumidifier dehumidifies the next target area. In this way, during the process of dehumidifying multiple target areas, it is not necessary for the user to move the dehumidifier. The autonomous movement of the dehumidifier can be realized.

[0045] In addition, when the dehumidifier dehumidifies the current target area, the dehumidifier can be in a moving mode or a fixed mode. The moving mode means that the dehumidifier moves and dehumidifies in the current target area. The fixed mode means that the dehumidifier is in a fixed position in the current target area and dehumidifies the current target area at this position. Generally, when the dehumidifier moves to dehumidify, the dehumidifying efficiency is higher than that in the fixed mode. When the dehumidifier moves to dehumidify, it can move repeatedly according to the set path. Or, it can combine the humidity distribution of the current target area and move from the area with higher humidity to the area with lower humidity. In this way, the dehumidifier dehumidifies from the area with high humidity, which helps to improve the dehumidifying efficiency.

[0046] Optionally, the dehumidifying movement path further includes a dehumidifying movement rate; Step S102, the processor determines the dehumidifying movement path of the dehumidifier according to the humidity of the target area, including:

[0047] The processor obtains the difference between the humidity of the target area and the corresponding humidity threshold.

[0048] The processor determines the dehumidifying movement rate of the dehumidifier in the target area according to the mapping relationship between the difference value and the movement rate.

[0049] Here, the difference between the humidity of the target area and the corresponding humidity threshold is calculated. Then, according to the magnitude of the difference, the moving speed of the dehumidifier during dehumidification of the target area is determined. Specifically, the difference is divided into multiple intervals, and each difference area corresponds to a moving speed. Generally, the larger the difference, that is, the higher the humidity of the target area, the slower the moving speed. As an example, the difference △RH is divided into three intervals: △RH≥30%, 30%>△RH≥5%, and △RH<5%; and the corresponding moving speeds are V3, V1, and V2 respectively. Among them, V1 is the basic speed, V2 is the slow speed, and V3 is the fast speed, that is, V3>V1>V2. In this way, after calculating the difference, the difference area to which the difference belongs can be found. Then, according to the mapping relationship between the difference area and the moving speed, the dehumidification moving speed is determined. In this way, the moving speed of the dehumidifier conforms to the humidity condition of the current target area, which can improve the dehumidification efficiency while ensuring the dehumidification effect.

[0050] In addition, the air outlet gear of the dehumidifier can also be determined according to the difference. Usually, the larger the difference, the larger the air outlet gear for dehumidification, that is, the larger the air volume and the air outlet speed. Specifically, as described above, the difference is divided into three intervals, and each interval corresponds to a different gear. When the difference satisfies △RH≥30%, the gear is F1. When the difference satisfies 30%>△RH≥5%, the gear is F2. When the difference satisfies △RH<5%, the gear is F3. Among them, F1>F2>F3.

[0051] Combined Figure 2 As shown, another method for controlling a dehumidifier provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0052] S201, the processor obtains the humidity of each area in the room.

[0053] S202, in the case that the humidity indicates that there are multiple target areas to be dehumidified, the processor determines the dehumidification movement path of the dehumidifier according to the humidity of the target area.

[0054] S203, in the case that there is a user in the room, the processor corrects the dehumidification movement path according to the position information of the user.

[0055] S204, the processor controls the dehumidifier to dehumidify the target area according to the corrected dehumidification movement path.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when there are multiple target areas to be dehumidified indoors, it indicates that the outdoor environment is a humid weather, such as during the rainy season. Therefore, whole-house dehumidification is required. In this case, the humidity in areas such as the bathroom and kitchen may further increase due to reasons such as washing and cooking. If there is a user indoors and the user is in areas such as the bedroom or living room, dehumidifying the bathroom, kitchen, etc. first according to the dehumidification movement sequence described above will reduce the user experience. Therefore, the dehumidification movement path is corrected in combination with the position of the indoor user. Specifically, when the position of the user indicates that the user is in a target area to be dehumidified, the target area where the user is located is used as the first area to be dehumidified. In this way, the humidity in the area where the user is located can be preferentially improved, avoiding discomfort caused by high humidity.

[0057] Combined with Figure 3 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide another method for controlling a dehumidifier, including:

[0058] S301, the processor obtains the humidity of each area indoors.

[0059] S302, when the humidity indicates that there are multiple target areas to be dehumidified, the processor determines the dehumidification movement path of the dehumidifier according to the humidity of the target areas.

[0060] S303, the processor controls the dehumidifier to dehumidify the target areas according to the dehumidification movement path.

[0061] S304, when the humidity indicates that there is one target area to be dehumidified, the processor determines the dehumidification mode of the dehumidifier according to the attributes of the target area.

[0062] S305, the processor controls the dehumidifier to operate according to the dehumidification mode.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when there is only one target area to be dehumidified, the dehumidifier does not need to move among multiple target areas. Therefore, the dehumidification mode of the dehumidifier can be determined in combination with the attributes of the target area. Among them, the dehumidification mode includes a fixed mode and a moving mode. The attributes of the target area can be functional attributes or spatial attributes. As an example, the attributes of the target area are functional attributes. The dehumidification modes of non-rest functional areas such as the kitchen and bathroom can be set to the fixed mode, and the dehumidification modes of rest functional areas such as the bedroom and living room can be set to the moving mode. Here, for the rest area, the user is in this area for a relatively long time. Adopting the moving mode for dehumidification in such areas can make the humidity in this area reach the humidity threshold set by the user relatively quickly, which helps to improve the comfort of the user. As another example, the attributes of the target area are spatial attributes. The dehumidification modes of small-space areas such as the kitchen, bathroom, study, and guest room can be set to the fixed mode, and the dehumidification modes of large-space areas such as the living room and master bedroom can be set to the moving mode. Here, the dehumidification mode is determined in combination with the size of the area. For areas with a small space, the impact of whether the dehumidifier moves on the dehumidification efficiency is not very significant. In order to save the power of the dehumidifier, the fixed dehumidification mode is adopted.

[0064] Optionally, the attributes of the target area include spatial attributes; step S304, the processor determines the dehumidification mode of the dehumidifier according to the attributes of the target area, including:

[0065] In the case where the attributes of the target area indicate that the space of the target area is smaller than the preset space threshold, the processor determines that the dehumidifier dehumidifies in the fixed mode.

[0066] In the case where the attributes of the target area indicate that the space of the target area is greater than or equal to the preset space threshold, the processor determines that the dehumidifier dehumidifies in the moving mode.

[0067] Here, a preset space threshold is set. For the target area with a space smaller than the preset space threshold, the fixed mode is adopted for dehumidification. For the target area with a space greater than or equal to the preset space threshold, the moving mode is adopted for dehumidification. Among them, the value range of the preset space threshold can be 10-15m 2 . In this way, different dehumidification methods are adopted for target areas of different sizes. This not only helps to quickly dehumidify the target area but also helps to save energy.

[0068] Optionally, step S305, the processor controls the dehumidifier to operate according to the dehumidification mode, including:

[0069] The processor obtains the layout information of the target area.

[0070] The processor controls the moving path of the dehumidifier according to the layout information.

[0071] Here, as shown above, the processor calls the indoor area layout information map from the local server or the cloud server. Based on the layout information map, the layout information of the target area is obtained, and then the moving path of the dehumidifier is controlled based on this layout information. Thus, during the dehumidification process of the dehumidifier moving, it can avoid the items in the target area. In addition, the moving speed of the dehumidifier can refer to the method mentioned above and will not be elaborated here.

[0072] As shown in Figure 4 the present disclosure provides another method for controlling a dehumidifier, including:

[0073] S401, the processor obtains the humidity of each area in the room.

[0074] S402, when the humidity indicates that there are multiple target areas to be dehumidified, the processor determines the dehumidification moving path of the dehumidifier according to the humidity of the target areas.

[0075] S403, the processor controls the dehumidifier to dehumidify the target areas according to the dehumidification moving path.

[0076] S404, during the dehumidification process of the dehumidifier, the detection element detects the remaining power of the dehumidifier.

[0077] S405, when the remaining power is less than the power threshold, the processor controls the dehumidifier to move to a preset position for charging; and after the charging is completed, it runs according to the previous dehumidification moving path.

[0078] Here, during the dehumidification process of the dehumidifier, the remaining power of the dehumidifier is detected in real time. When the remaining power is less than the power threshold, the dehumidifier is controlled to stop running the dehumidification mode and return to the preset position for charging. The power threshold can take a value of 20%-25% to ensure that the remaining power can enable the dehumidifier to move from the current position to the preset position. After the dehumidifier finishes charging, the dehumidifier resumes the moving dehumidification function and returns to the previous dehumidification position to run according to the previous dehumidification moving path.

[0079] In some embodiments, the water level of the dehumidifier can also be detected in real time. When the current water level is greater than or equal to the high water level threshold, the dehumidifier stops running the dehumidification mode and outputs a prompt. So that the user can clean the water in the water tank in time. At the same time, when the dehumidifier runs in the dust removal mode, the water level of the dehumidifier is detected. When the current water level is less than or equal to the low water level threshold, the dehumidifier stops running the dust removal mode and outputs a prompt, and after the user replenishes water for the dehumidifier, it performs dust removal again.

[0080] As shown in Figure 5As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device for controlling a dehumidifier, including an acquisition module 21, a determination module 22, and a control module 23. The acquisition module 21 is configured to acquire the humidity of each area in the room. The determination module 22 is configured to determine the dehumidification movement path of the dehumidifier according to the humidity of the target area when the humidity indicates that there are multiple target areas to be dehumidified. The control module 23 is configured to control the dehumidifier to dehumidify the target area according to the dehumidification movement path.

[0081] By using the device for controlling a dehumidifier provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is determined whether each area needs to be dehumidified according to the humidity of each area in the room. When multiple areas have a dehumidification requirement, the dehumidification movement path of the dehumidifier is determined. The dehumidifier dehumidifies each target area according to the dehumidification movement path. In this way, the dehumidification movement path can be autonomously determined by combining the humidity information of each area, and the dehumidifier can be controlled to move for dehumidification. Thereby, the intelligence level of the dehumidifier is improved, the control of the dehumidifier is made user-friendly, and the user experience is improved.

[0082] Combined with Figure 6 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device for controlling a dehumidifier, including a processor 100 and a memory 101. Optionally, the device may further include a communication interface 102 and a bus 103.

The communication interface 102 can be used for information transmission. The processor 100 can call the logical instructions in the memory 101 to execute the method for controlling the dehumidifier in the above embodiment.

[0083] In addition, when the logical instructions in the above-mentioned memory 101 can be implemented in the form of a software functional unit and sold or used as an independent product, they can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium.

[0084] The memory 101, as a computer-readable storage medium, can be used to store software programs and computer-executable programs, such as the program instructions / modules corresponding to the method in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The processor 100 executes functional applications and data processing by running the program instructions / modules stored in the memory 101, that is, implements the method for controlling the dehumidifier in the above embodiment.

[0085] The memory 101 may include a storage program area and a storage data area.
