[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described 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 of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use this application. Details are set forth in the following description for purposes of explanation. It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this application can be made without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of this application with unnecessary detail. Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0044] This application provides a control method for a fresh air device, which will be described in detail below.

[0045] The main solution of this application embodiment is: to obtain the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants, wherein the indoor pollutants include at least one of formaldehyde, PM2.5 and TVOC; when the real-time concentration of the indoor pollutants is greater than or equal to a first preset concentration, the fresh air device turns on the exhaust mode or the fresh air mode; each time a preset condition is reached, the fresh air device switches from one of the exhaust mode and the fresh air mode to the other.

[0046] Because current technology only allows fresh air devices to simply turn on the fresh air or exhaust function, it is difficult to quickly reduce the concentration of indoor pollutants and improve indoor air quality.

[0047] This application provides a solution in which, by setting a preset condition, the fresh air device switches from one of the exhaust mode and the fresh air mode to the other when the preset condition is met. Thus, the fresh air device repeatedly switches between the fresh air mode and the exhaust mode, breathing in and out, quickly expelling the polluted indoor air to the outside while simultaneously introducing fresh outdoor air with a higher oxygen content, thereby achieving the effect of rapidly improving indoor air quality.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the terminal structure of the fresh air device involved in the embodiments of this application.

[0049] The terminal in this application embodiment is a fresh air device, or it may be an air conditioner or an air purifier that includes the fresh air device.

The fan 20 is disposed in the second chamber 12, and the air inlet 21 and air outlet 22 of the fan 20 are respectively connected to the first chamber 11 and the third chamber 13. The first chamber 11 defines an outdoor air duct 111 and an indoor air duct 112 that are connected to each other. The outdoor air duct 111 is connected to an outdoor ventilation opening 113, and the indoor air duct 112 is connected to an indoor air inlet 114.

[0053] Please refer to it again. Figure 3 When the fresh air device is in the fresh air mode, the first valve 115 blocks the connection between the indoor air inlet 114 and the first chamber 11, and the outdoor vent 113 is connected to the first chamber 11; at the same time, the second valve 133 blocks the connection between the outdoor air duct 111 and the third chamber 13, and the indoor air outlet 131 is connected to the third chamber 13.

[0054] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the fresh air device provided in the embodiment of this application in exhaust mode. When the fresh air device is in exhaust mode, the first valve 115 blocks the connection between the outdoor vent 113 and the first chamber 11, and the indoor air inlet 114 and the first chamber 11 are connected; at the same time, the second valve 133 blocks the connection between the indoor air outlet 131 and the third chamber 13, and the outdoor air duct 111 and the third chamber 13 are connected.

[0057] Memory 1002 can be high-speed RAM or stable memory (no n-volatile memory), such as disk storage. Figure 1As shown, the memory 1002, which serves as a computer storage medium, may include a control application program for the fresh air system, and the processor 1001 can be used to call the control application program for the fresh air system stored in the memory 1002 and perform the following operations:

[0058] The real-time concentration of indoor pollutants is obtained, wherein the indoor pollutants include at least one of formaldehyde, PM2.5 and TVOC;

[0059] When the real-time concentration of the indoor pollutants is greater than or equal to the first preset concentration, the fresh air device activates the exhaust mode or the fresh air mode.

[0060] When a preset condition is met, the fresh air device switches from one of the exhaust mode and the fresh air mode to the other.

[0061] Furthermore, the processor 1001 can be used to call the control application of the fresh air device stored in the memory 1002, and also perform the following operations:

[0062] For every preset gradient decrease in the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants, the fresh air device switches from one of the exhaust mode and the fresh air mode to the other.

[0063] Furthermore, the processor 1001 can be used to call the control application of the fresh air device stored in the memory 1002, and also perform the following operations:

[0064] After each preset time period of operation, the fresh air device switches from one of the exhaust mode to the other.

[0065] Furthermore, the processor 1001 can be used to call the control application of the fresh air device stored in the memory 1002, and also perform the following operations:

[0066] When the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants decreases to a second preset concentration, the fresh air device maintains the fresh air mode, or switches to the fresh air mode and maintains it.

[0067] Furthermore, the processor 1001 can be used to call the control application of the fresh air device stored in the memory 1002, and also perform the following operations:

[0068] When the fresh air device switches from the exhaust mode to the fresh air mode, the fresh air device stops operating in the exhaust mode and starts operating in the fresh air mode after a second preset time.

[0069] Furthermore, the processor 1001 can be used to call the control application of the fresh air device stored in the memory 1002, and also perform the following operations:

[0070] When the fresh air device switches from the exhaust mode to the fresh air mode, the fresh air device stops operating in the exhaust mode and obtains the real-time concentration of pollutants at the outdoor ventilation opening 113 of the fresh air device.

[0071] When the real-time concentration of pollutants at the outdoor vent 113 is less than or equal to the third preset concentration, the fresh air device activates the fresh air mode.

[0072] Furthermore, the processor 1001 can be used to call the control application of the fresh air device stored in the memory 1002, and also perform the following operations:

[0073] When the real-time concentration of pollutants at the outdoor vent 113 is greater than the third preset concentration, the fresh air device will activate the fresh air mode after the third preset time.

[0074] Based on the above hardware architecture, an embodiment of the control method for the fresh air device of this application is proposed.

[0075] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the control method for the fresh air device of this application. The control method for the fresh air device includes:

[0076] Step S10: Obtain the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants, wherein the indoor pollutants include at least one of formaldehyde, PM2.5 and TVOC.

[0077] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the application, the fresh air device includes an air quality sensor 1004, which can detect the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants. The indoor pollutants include at least one of formaldehyde, PM2.5, and TVOC.

[0078] Step S20: When the real-time concentration of the indoor pollutants is greater than or equal to the first preset concentration, the fresh air device turns on the exhaust mode or the fresh air mode.

[0079] It is understood that the first preset concentration can be set according to the environment in which the fresh air device is applied. For example, the preset concentration may be different or the same in southern and northern regions due to different environments; or the user may set the first preset concentration according to their own sensitivity to air pollutants. When the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants is greater than or equal to the first preset concentration, the fresh air device may, according to its settings, first activate the exhaust mode or the fresh air mode. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants is greater than or equal to the first preset concentration, the fresh air device first activates the exhaust mode.

[0080] In other embodiments, users can also actively activate the rapid purification mode, which repeatedly switches between the exhaust mode and the fresh air mode, according to their own circumstances. It is understood that when a user actively activates the rapid purification mode, the air quality sensor 1004 acquires the current concentration of indoor pollutants and then uses this concentration as a benchmark to implement subsequent operating steps.

[0081] In step S30, each time a preset condition is met, the fresh air device switches from one of the exhaust mode and the fresh air mode to the other.

[0082] Understandably, by pre-setting a trigger condition, the fresh air device switches from one of the exhaust mode and the fresh air mode to the other each time the trigger condition is met. In this way, the fresh air device can repeatedly switch between fresh air mode and exhaust mode, expelling stale indoor air to the outside while simultaneously introducing fresh outdoor air with a higher oxygen content, thus rapidly improving indoor air quality.

[0083] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating a second embodiment of the control method for the fresh air device of this application. Based on the first embodiment, step S30 includes:

[0084] Step S31: For every preset gradient decrease in the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants, the fresh air device switches from one of the exhaust mode and the fresh air mode to the other.

[0085] It is understood that in this embodiment, the preset condition is defined as a decrease in the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants by a preset gradient. When the fresh air device activates either the exhaust mode or the fresh air mode, the concentration of indoor pollutants will decrease accordingly. After the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants decreases by a preset gradient, the fresh air device switches from one of the exhaust mode to the other. For example, when the fresh air device activates the exhaust mode, the concentration of indoor pollutants decreases accordingly. When the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants decreases by the preset gradient, the fresh air device switches from the exhaust mode to the fresh air mode. Furthermore, as the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants decreases by the preset gradient again, the fresh air device switches from the fresh air mode back to the exhaust mode. This process repeats, and the fresh air device, by inhaling and exhaling, can quickly expel polluted indoor air to the outside while simultaneously introducing fresh outdoor air with a higher oxygen content, thus rapidly improving indoor air quality.

[0086] Specifically, for every 10% to 25% decrease in the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants, the fresh air device switches from one of the exhaust mode and the fresh air mode to the other. In this embodiment, the preset gradient is 10%. This means that when the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants is greater than or equal to a first preset concentration, the fresh air device activates the exhaust mode and records the indoor pollutant concentration value M. After the exhaust mode has been activated for a period of time, when the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants decreases to 90%M, the fresh air device switches from the exhaust mode to the fresh air mode. As the fresh air mode is activated, when the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants decreases to 80%M, the fresh air device switches back to the exhaust mode. This process repeats, quickly expelling polluted indoor air while simultaneously introducing fresh outdoor air with higher oxygen content, thus rapidly improving indoor air quality.

[0087] Specifically, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating the third embodiment of the control method for the fresh air device of this application. Based on the first embodiment, step S30 includes:

[0088] Step S32: After the exhaust mode or the fresh air mode has been running for a first preset time, the fresh air device switches from one of the exhaust mode and the fresh air mode to the other.

[0089] It is understood that in this embodiment, the switching between the exhaust mode and the fresh air mode by the fresh air device is time-based. For example, the first preset time is ten minutes. When the fresh air device starts the exhaust mode, the concentration of indoor pollutants decreases accordingly. After the exhaust mode runs for ten minutes, the fresh air device switches from the exhaust mode to the fresh air mode. Furthermore, after the fresh air mode also runs for ten minutes, the fresh air device switches back to the exhaust mode. This repeated process can quickly expel the polluted indoor air to the outside while simultaneously introducing fresh outdoor air with a higher oxygen content, thus rapidly improving indoor air quality.

[0090] Further, please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a flowchart illustrating a fourth embodiment of the control method for the fresh air device of this application. Based on the first, second, or third embodiment, after step S30, S31, or S32, the control method for the fresh air device further includes:

[0091] S40, when the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants decreases to the second preset concentration, the fresh air device maintains the fresh air mode, or switches to the fresh air mode and maintains it.

[0092] The second preset concentration can be set according to the user's needs. For example, the second concentration can be 15% or 20% of the first preset concentration, or it can be 15% or 20% of the current indoor pollutant concentration when the fresh air device is in rapid purification mode, repeatedly switching between exhaust mode and fresh air mode. This is not limited here. It is understood that as the exhaust mode and fresh air mode are repeatedly switched, the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants will continuously decrease. When the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants decreases to the second preset concentration, the fresh air device no longer needs to continuously switch modes; it only needs to maintain the fresh air mode to ensure stable indoor air quality. Due to the different preset gradients and the different second preset concentrations, when the real-time concentration of indoor pollutants decreases to the second preset concentration, the fresh air device may be in either exhaust mode or fresh air mode. If it is in fresh air mode, it does not need to switch; it can maintain the fresh air mode. If it is in exhaust mode, it should switch to fresh air mode and maintain it.

[0093] Specifically, please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a flowchart illustrating the fifth embodiment of the control method for the fresh air device of this application. Based on the first, second, or third embodiment, step S30, S31, or S32 includes:

[0094] S301, when the fresh air device switches from the exhaust mode to the fresh air mode, the fresh air device stops operating in the exhaust mode and starts the fresh air mode after a second preset time.

[0095] It is understood that the intake and exhaust of the fresh air device are both achieved through the outdoor vent 113. When the exhaust mode ends, the air quality around the outdoor vent 113 is relatively turbid and the pollution concentration is slightly high. When the fresh air device switches from the exhaust mode to the fresh air mode, the fresh air device stops operating first and then turns on the fresh air mode again after the second preset time. In this way, during the time when the fresh air device stops operating, the polluted air around the outdoor vent 113 will be dispersed or diluted, so as to avoid the pollutant concentration in the fresh air being too high when the fresh air mode is turned on, which would affect the indoor air purification effect.

[0096] Specifically, please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a flowchart illustrating the sixth embodiment of the control method for the fresh air device of this application. Based on the first, second, or third embodiment, step S30, S31, or S32 includes:

[0097] S302, when the fresh air device switches from the exhaust mode to the fresh air mode, the fresh air device stops operating in the exhaust mode and obtains the real-time concentration of pollutants at the outdoor ventilation opening 113 of the fresh air device;

[0098] S303, when the real-time concentration of pollutants at the outdoor vent 113 is less than or equal to the third preset concentration, the fresh air device activates the fresh air mode.

[0099] Understandably, when the exhaust mode ends, the air quality around the outdoor vent 113 is relatively turbid with a slightly higher pollution concentration. When the fresh air device switches from the exhaust mode to the fresh air mode, the fresh air device first stops operating. Simultaneously, the air quality sensor 1004 detects the real-time concentration of pollutants at the outdoor vent 113 of the fresh air device. As the fresh air device stops operating, the turbid air at the outdoor vent 113 will be dispersed or diluted. When the real-time concentration of pollutants at the outdoor vent 113 is less than or equal to a third preset concentration, the fresh air device then restarts the fresh air mode. The third preset concentration can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0100] Furthermore, after step S302, the method further includes:

[0101] S304, when the real-time concentration of pollutants at the outdoor vent 113 is greater than the third preset concentration, the fresh air device will activate the fresh air mode after the third preset time.

[0102] Understandably, as the fresh air system stops operating, the polluted air at the outdoor vent 113 will be dispersed or diluted.
