[0040] The realization, functional features and advantages of the object of the present invention will be further described with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Detailed Embodiments

[0041] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0042] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a humidifying mechanism control device in the hardware operating environment related to the embodiment solution of the present invention.

[0043] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the humidification mechanism control device may include: a processor 1001, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a communication bus 1002, a user interface 1003, a network interface 1004, and a memory 1005. Among them, the communication bus 1002 is used to realize the connection and communication between these components. The user interface 1003 may include a display screen (Display). Optionally, the user interface 1003 may further include a standard wired interface and a wireless interface. For the wired interface of the user interface 1003, it may be a USB interface in the present invention. The network interface 1004 may optionally include a standard wired interface and a wireless interface (such as a Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) interface). The memory 1005 may be a high-speed Random Access Memory (RAM) or a stable memory (Non-volatile Memory, NVM), such as a disk memory. Optionally, the memory 1005 may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0044] Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 1 the structure shown in does not constitute a limitation on the humidification mechanism control device, and it may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0045] As Figure 1 shown, the memory 1005, which is recognized as a computer storage medium, may include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a humidification mechanism control program.

[0046] In Figure 1 the humidification mechanism control device shown, the network interface 1004 is mainly used to connect to the background server and perform data communication with the background server; the user interface 1003 is mainly used to connect to user devices; the humidification mechanism control device calls the humidification mechanism control program stored in the memory 1005 through the processor 1001 and executes the humidification mechanism control method provided by the embodiments of the present invention.

[0047] Based on the above hardware structure, embodiments of the humidification mechanism control method of the present invention are proposed.

[0048] Before explaining the control method, the humidification mechanism in this embodiment will be explained first. Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the humidification mechanism of the present invention.

[0049] In the first embodiment, the humidifying mechanism includes a moisture absorption air duct 10, a humidifying air duct 20, and a water storage turntable 40. Part of the water storage turntable 40 is located inside the moisture absorption air duct 10, and part of it is located inside the humidifying air duct 20. A heating mechanism 30 is provided upstream of the water storage turntable 40 inside the humidifying air duct 20.

[0050] The humidifying mechanism in this embodiment is a waterless humidifying solution, which extracts moisture from outdoor air and transports it to the indoor environment. A moisture absorption material is provided in the water storage turntable 40. The heating mechanism 30 can be an electric heating wire or a PTC heater, etc. The moisture absorption fan 52 extracts gas from the outdoor air C into the moisture absorption air duct 10. When the extracted gas flows through the water storage turntable 40 inside the moisture absorption air duct 10, the moisture is absorbed by the moisture absorption material. After moisture absorption, the gas D is discharged from the moisture absorption air duct 10 to the outdoor environment F. The humidifying fan 51 extracts gas from the outdoor air C into the humidifying air duct 20. The gas first flows through the heating mechanism 30 in the humidifying air duct 20, and then flows through the water storage turntable 40. The heated air can absorb moisture from the moisture absorption material to form humidified gas E, which is then transported to the indoor environment G, thereby increasing the humidity of the indoor environment G. The water storage turntable 40 has a moisture absorption area A inside the moisture absorption air duct 10 for absorbing moisture, and the water storage turntable 40 has a desorption area B inside the moisture absorption air duct 10 for releasing moisture. When the humidifying mechanism is operating, the water storage turntable 40 rotates between the moisture absorption air duct 10 and the humidifying air duct 20 to rotate back and forth between the moisture absorption area A and the desorption area B to complete the transmission of moisture. In addition, the humidifying mechanism can be used as an independent humidifier or integrated into other devices, such as an air conditioner, etc.

[0051] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic flowchart of the first embodiment of the control method for the humidifying mechanism of the present invention, and the first embodiment of the control method for the humidifying mechanism of the present invention is proposed.

[0052] In the first embodiment, the control method for the humidifying mechanism includes the following steps:

[0053] Step S10: When the humidifying mechanism is operating in the humidifying mode, obtain the outlet humidity of the humidifying air duct 20.

[0054] It should be understood that the execution subject of this embodiment is a control device for the humidifying mechanism. This control device for the humidifying mechanism has functions such as data processing, data communication, and program operation. The control device for the humidifying mechanism can be a computer device such as an integrated controller or a client. Of course, it can also be other devices with similar functions. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0055] It should be noted that when the humidifying mechanism receives a start command, it enters the humidifying mode, and this start command can be sent by the integrated controller or the client. For example, if the humidifying mechanism is installed in an air conditioner, the user can send a humidifying command to the air conditioner through a control device such as a remote control or a mobile phone, and then the controller in the air conditioner sends a start command to the humidifying mechanism to make the humidifying mechanism enter the humidifying mode.

[0056] After the humidifying mechanism is started, the humidifying fan 51, the moisture absorption fan 52, and the water storage turntable 40 all operate at a preset speed, and the heating mechanism 30 operates at a preset heating power to enter the humidifying mode and humidify the indoor environment. Among them, the preset speed and the preset heating power can be set according to user needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0057] It can be understood that the humidifying method of the humidifying mechanism in this embodiment is to extract moisture from the outdoor environment and then transport it to the indoor environment. Therefore, after the humidifying mechanism is started, it operates under rated conditions, and the humidifying capacity it can provide to the indoor environment is affected by the relative humidity of the outdoor environment. When the humidity of the outdoor environment is high, it is easier for the humidifying mechanism to extract moisture and it can provide a higher humidifying capacity; when the humidity of the outdoor environment is low, it is more difficult for the humidifying mechanism to extract moisture and it can only provide a lower humidifying capacity. In the humidifying air duct 20, the outdoor air is heated and then absorbs moisture from the water storage turntable 40 to form humidified air, which is then transported to the indoor environment. Therefore, the humidity of the air transported by the humidifying air duct 20 can reflect the humidifying capacity provided by the humidifying mechanism. Generally, the higher the humidity of the transported air, the higher the provided humidifying capacity; the lower the humidity of the transported air, the lower the provided humidifying capacity.

[0058] In specific implementation, a humidity sensor can be set at the air outlet of the humidifying air duct 20, and the humidity of the air transported by the humidifying air duct 20 is collected through the humidity sensor. The control device of the humidifying mechanism receives the data fed back by the humidity sensor to obtain the outlet air humidity of the humidifying air duct 20.

[0059] Step S20: Determine the first preset humidity corresponding to the outlet air humidity.

[0060] It should be noted that in order to judge whether the humidifying capacity provided by the humidifying mechanism can meet the requirements, the outlet air humidity can be detected. The higher the outlet air humidity, the more the humidifying capacity provided by the humidifying mechanism can meet the requirements; the lower the outlet air humidity, the more difficult it is for the humidifying capacity provided by the humidifying mechanism to meet the requirements. In this embodiment, by setting the first preset humidity and comparing it with the outlet air humidity, it is judged whether the humidifying capacity provided by the humidifying mechanism can meet the requirements. When the outlet air humidity is greater than or equal to the first preset humidity, it indicates that the humidifying capacity provided by the humidifying mechanism can meet the requirements; when the outlet air humidity is less than the first preset humidity, it indicates that the humidifying capacity provided by the humidifying mechanism cannot meet the requirements.

[0061] It can be understood that to enable users to have a better humidity experience, it is necessary to control the indoor environment to an appropriate relative humidity. For example, when the room temperature is 20°C, the corresponding relative humidity is 40%. Therefore, during humidification, the outlet humidity of the humidification mechanism should be able to increase the relative humidity of the indoor environment to 40%. At this time, the outlet humidity needs to reach the corresponding humidity value. Otherwise, the actual relative humidity of the indoor environment cannot be increased to 40%. The corresponding humidity value can be used as the first preset humidity. Therefore, the first preset humidity can be determined according to the actual relative humidity of the indoor environment and the corresponding appropriate relative humidity.

[0062] In addition, on the premise that the performance of the humidification mechanism itself remains unchanged, the humidification amount provided by the humidification mechanism is related to the outdoor environment. Therefore, the humidification amount that the humidification mechanism can provide can be determined according to the relative humidity of the outdoor environment. At this time, by combining the appropriate relative humidity of the indoor environment, it can be judged whether the humidification amount of the humidification mechanism meets the requirements. Therefore, the first preset humidity can also be determined according to the relative humidity of the outdoor environment and the appropriate relative humidity of the indoor environment.

[0063] Step S30: When the outlet humidity is less than the first preset humidity, reduce the heating power of the heating mechanism 30.

[0064] It should be noted that since the humidification mechanism operates according to the rated working conditions after startup, when the humidification amount provided by the humidification mechanism does not meet the requirements, it will cause the water storage turntable 40 to adsorb less moisture from the outdoor air, resulting in a smaller temperature drop of the air heated by the heating mechanism 30 in the humidification air duct 20, and causing the temperature of the air conveyed by the humidification air duct 20 to rise. At this time, the service life and safety of the humidification mechanism will be affected. In addition, the temperature of the indoor environment will also rise too fast. If the outdoor environment temperature is relatively high itself, such as in autumn, it will cause the indoor temperature to be too high, affecting the user experience.

[0065] In some embodiments, when the outlet humidity is less than the first preset humidity, reduce the heating power of the heating mechanism 30. At the same time, increase the rotation speed of the water storage turntable 40 and / or increase the rotation speed of the moisture absorption fan 52 in the moisture absorption air duct 10.

[0066] This embodiment reduces the heating power of the heating mechanism 30 to avoid various problems caused by the increase in the outlet temperature. For example, the heating power of the heating mechanism 30 can be reduced by 10% or 20%. To more accurately adjust the heating mechanism and avoid a decrease in the humidification amount, the reduction value of the heating power can be determined according to the difference between the outlet humidity and the first preset humidity. The larger the difference, the larger the reduction value; the smaller the difference, the smaller the reduction value. Of course, the reduction value of the heating power can also be set according to user needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0067] In the first embodiment, after the humidifying mechanism enters the humidifying mode, the humidity of the air discharged from the humidifying air duct 20 is detected to determine whether the current humidifying amount of the humidifying mechanism exceeds the rated operating condition; if so, the heating power of the heating mechanism 30 is reduced to prevent the temperature of the air discharged from the humidifying air duct 20 from rising, thereby adjusting the operating state of the humidifying mechanism according to the environmental conditions and user requirements, and avoiding affecting the use of the humidifying mechanism and reducing the user experience.

[0068] Refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 FIG. is a schematic flowchart of a second embodiment of the control method for the humidifying mechanism of the present invention. Based on the above first embodiment, a second embodiment of the control method for the humidifying mechanism of the present invention is proposed.

[0069] In the second embodiment, before the step S10, the following is further included:

[0070] Step S01: Obtain the temperature of the outdoor air.

[0071] It should be noted that when the moisture content is the same, at different temperatures, the corresponding relative humidity is also different. Taking the indoor temperature of 20 °C and the relative humidity of 40% when the human body feels comfortable as an example, its moisture content is 5.79 g / kg of dry air. At this time, if the outdoor air is directly sent into the room, it is necessary to ensure that the moisture content of the outdoor air is greater than or equal to the moisture content of the indoor air, that is, 5.79 g / kg of dry air. At this moisture content, different outdoor temperatures correspond to different relative humidities, that is, there is a corresponding demarcation point between the outdoor temperature a and the relative humidity b when the moisture content is 5.79 g / kg of dry air, as shown in Table 1.

[0072] Table 1 Temperature and humidity correspondence table when the moisture content is 5.79 g / kg of dry air

[0073]

[0074] It can be understood that when the relative humidity of the outdoor air is greater than the relative humidity corresponding to the temperature in Table 1 under different outdoor ambient temperatures, the outdoor air can be directly transported to the indoor environment; when the air humidity in the outdoor environment is less than or equal to the relative humidity corresponding to the temperature in Table 1, the outdoor air needs to be humidified before being transported to the indoor environment. When the humidifying mechanism needs to determine whether humidification is required, when humidification is required, the humidifying mode is turned on.

[0075] It should be noted that since the lower the temperature, the higher the required humidity, and usually the outdoor air humidity is difficult to reach the corresponding humidity. For example, at 10 °C, the corresponding humidity is 76.2%; usually the outdoor air humidity is lower than this humidity. Therefore, it is possible to judge whether the humidifying mechanism needs to perform humidification by judging the outdoor temperature.

[0076] In specific implementation, a temperature sensor can be installed outdoors to obtain the temperature of the outdoor air. Alternatively, the humidification mechanism control device can be connected to a meteorological database to determine the temperature of the outdoor air by obtaining meteorological data in real time.

[0077] Step S02: When the temperature is less than the first preset temperature, control the humidification mechanism to enter the humidification mode.

[0078] It should be noted that in dry regions, since the normal humidity of outdoor air is relatively low, the first preset temperature can be set to 15°C. In humid regions, since the normal humidity of outdoor air is relatively high, the first preset temperature can be set to 10°C. Of course, the first preset temperature can be set according to user needs, and this embodiment does not limit it. After the humidification mechanism enters the humidification mode, the humidification fan 51, the moisture absorption fan 52, and the water storage turntable 40 all operate at a preset speed, and the heating mechanism 30 operates at a preset heating power.

[0079] It can be understood that when the temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, due to the change in the humidity of the outdoor environment, the humidity of the outdoor air may be greater than the required humidity or less than the required humidity. Therefore, to further determine whether the humidification mechanism needs to humidify, further judgment is required.

[0080] In specific implementation, when the temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, obtain the relative humidity of the outdoor air; determine the corresponding second preset humidity according to the temperature of the outdoor air; when the relative humidity is less than the second preset humidity, control the humidification mechanism to enter the humidification mode.

[0081] It should be noted that the second preset humidity is the humidity required for the indoor environment, and its specific value can be obtained from the above table. By directly comparing the humidity of the outdoor air with the humidity required for the indoor environment, if the humidity of the outdoor air is less than the required humidity, the humidification mechanism needs to humidify.

[0082] It can be understood that if the humidity of the outdoor air is greater than or equal to the required humidity, the humidification mechanism does not need to humidify; at this time, the humidification mechanism can be controlled to enter the fresh air mode. In specific implementation, when the humidification mechanism enters the fresh air mode, only the humidification fan 51 can be turned on, and it is not necessary to turn on the moisture absorption fan 52, the water storage turntable 40, and the heating mechanism 30 to reduce the power consumption of the humidification mechanism.

[0083] It should be noted that when the humidifying mechanism is just turned on, the water storage turntable 40 has not absorbed water. At this time, if the heating mechanism 30 is directly turned on, since the heated gas cannot obtain enough water from the water storage turntable 40, its temperature drop amplitude decreases, resulting in too high air temperature being delivered to the indoor environment. Therefore, to avoid too rapid warming of the indoor environment and reduce the user experience, in this embodiment, when the humidifying mechanism enters the humidifying mode, the moisture absorption fan 52 is started first; after the moisture absorption fan 52 is started, the heating mechanism 30 is started after a preset time interval, so that the humidifying mechanism enters the humidifying mode.

[0084] It should be noted that the preset time interval between the start of the moisture absorption fan 52 and the start of the heating mechanism 30 should be relatively long to ensure that the water storage turntable 40 absorbs enough water. In specific implementation, the specific time of the preset time can be determined according to the rotation speed of the moisture absorption fan 52 after it is started; the lower the rotation speed of the moisture absorption fan 52, the longer the preset time, and the higher the rotation speed of the moisture absorption fan 52, the shorter the preset time.

[0085] It should be noted that since the reduction amplitude of the heating power of the heating mechanism 30 is related to the actual provided humidification amount, the greater the difference between the provided humidification amount and the required humidification amount, the greater the power reduction amplitude of the heating mechanism 30. At this time, the humidification amount that the humidifying mechanism can provide will also decrease. To make up for the decrease in the humidification amount, in this embodiment, after the heating power of the heating mechanism 30 decreases, the rotation speed of the moisture absorption fan 52 can also be increased, and the rotation speed of the water storage turntable 40 can be increased. The humidification amount is increased by increasing the moisture absorption air volume of the moisture absorption air duct 10 and the conveying speed of the water.

[0086] In addition, since the humidification air volume in the humidification air duct 20 can simultaneously affect the temperature of the air delivered to the room, in this embodiment, after the heating power of the heating mechanism 30 decreases, the rotation speed of the humidification fan 51 can also be decreased to reduce the rising speed of the indoor environment temperature, and at the same time, the excessive power reduction of the heating mechanism 30 can be avoided. It should be noted that the decrease in the humidification air volume will also cause a decrease in the humidification amount. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the rotation speed reduction of the humidification fan 51 to avoid excessive speed reduction resulting in a decrease in the humidification amount.

[0087] In the second embodiment, by detecting the temperature and relative humidity of the outdoor air, it is judged whether the humidifying mechanism needs to humidify; if humidification is not required, the outdoor air can be directly delivered to the indoor environment, so as to achieve the effect of increasing the humidity of the indoor environment. In addition, to further control the humidification amount and the outlet air temperature after the power of the heating mechanism 30 decreases, the rotation speeds of the moisture absorption fan 52 and the water storage turntable 40 can be increased respectively, or the rotation speed of the humidification fan 51 can be decreased.

[0088] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a storage medium, on which a humidifying mechanism control program is stored. When the humidifying mechanism control program is executed by a processor, the steps of the humidifying mechanism control method described above are implemented. Since this storage medium can adopt the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0089] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an air conditioner, which includes a humidifying mechanism and a humidifying mechanism control device. Since the air conditioner can adopt the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0090] In addition, referring to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a structural block diagram of the first embodiment of the humidifying mechanism control device of the present invention. An embodiment of the present invention further provides a humidifying mechanism control device.

[0091] In this embodiment, the humidifying mechanism has a moisture absorption air duct, a humidifying air duct, and a water storage turntable. The water storage turntable is partially located in the moisture absorption air duct and partially located in the humidifying air duct. A heating mechanism is arranged upstream of the water storage turntable in the humidifying air duct. The humidifying mechanism control device includes:

[0092] An acquisition module 100, configured to acquire the outlet air humidity of the humidifying air duct when the humidifying mechanism operates in the humidifying mode.

[0093] It should be noted that the humidifying mechanism is in the humidifying mode when it receives a start instruction, and this start instruction can be sent by an integrated controller or a client. For example, if the humidifying mechanism is arranged in an air conditioner, the user can send a humidifying instruction to the air conditioner through a control device such as a remote control or a mobile phone, and the controller in the air conditioner then sends a start instruction to the humidifying mechanism to make the humidifying mechanism enter the humidifying mode.

[0094] After the humidifying mechanism is started, the humidifying fan 51, the moisture absorption fan 52, and the water storage turntable 40 all operate at a preset speed, and the heating mechanism 30 operates at a preset heating power to enter the humidifying mode and humidify the indoor environment. Among them, the preset speed and the preset heating power can be set according to user needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0095] It can be understood that the humidification method of the humidification mechanism in this embodiment is to extract moisture from the outdoor environment and then transport it to the indoor environment. Therefore, after the humidification mechanism is started and operates under rated conditions, the humidification amount it can provide to the indoor environment is affected by the relative humidity of the outdoor environment. When the humidity of the outdoor environment is high, it is easier for the humidification mechanism to extract moisture and it can provide a higher humidification amount; when the humidity of the outdoor environment is low, it is more difficult for the humidification mechanism to extract moisture and it can only provide a lower humidification amount. In the humidification air duct 20, the outdoor air is heated and then absorbs moisture from the water storage turntable 40 to form humidified air, which is then transported to the indoor environment. Therefore, the humidity of the air transported by the humidification air duct 20 can reflect the humidification amount provided by the humidification mechanism. Generally, the higher the humidity of the transported air, the higher the humidification amount provided; the lower the humidity of the transported air, the lower the humidification amount provided.

[0096] In specific implementation, a humidity sensor can be set at the air outlet of the humidification air duct 20. The humidity of the air transported by the humidification air duct 20 is collected through the humidity sensor, and the acquisition module 100 receives the data fed back by the humidity sensor to obtain the outlet air humidity of the humidification air duct 20.

[0097] The calculation module 200 is used to determine the first preset humidity corresponding to the outlet air humidity.

[0098] It should be noted that in order to determine whether the humidification amount provided by the humidification mechanism can meet the requirements, the outlet air humidity can be detected. The higher the outlet air humidity, the more the humidification amount provided by the humidification mechanism can meet the requirements; the lower the outlet air humidity, the more difficult it is for the humidification amount provided by the humidification mechanism to meet the requirements. In this embodiment, by comparing the first preset humidity with the outlet air humidity, it is determined whether the humidification amount provided by the humidification mechanism can meet the requirements. When the outlet air humidity is greater than or equal to the first preset humidity, it indicates that the humidification amount provided by the humidification mechanism can meet the requirements; when the outlet air humidity is less than the first preset humidity, it indicates that the humidification amount provided by the humidification mechanism can meet the requirements.

[0099] It can be understood that in order to enable users to have a better humidity experience, the indoor environment needs to be controlled to an appropriate relative humidity. For example, when the room temperature is 20 °C, the corresponding relative humidity is 40%. Therefore, during humidification, the outlet air humidity of the humidification mechanism should be able to increase the relative humidity of the indoor environment to 40%. At this time, the outlet air humidity needs to reach the corresponding humidity value. Otherwise, the actual relative humidity of the indoor environment cannot be increased to 40%. The corresponding humidity value can be used as the first preset humidity. Therefore, the first preset humidity can be determined according to the actual relative humidity of the indoor environment and the corresponding appropriate relative humidity.

[0100] In addition, on the premise that the performance of the humidifying mechanism itself remains unchanged, the humidifying capacity provided by the humidifying mechanism is related to the outdoor environment. Therefore, the humidifying capacity provided by the humidifying mechanism can be determined according to the relative humidity of the outdoor environment; at this time, by combining with the appropriate relative humidity of the indoor environment, it is judged whether the humidifying capacity of the humidifying mechanism meets the requirements. Therefore, the first preset humidity can also be determined according to the relative humidity of the outdoor environment and the appropriate relative humidity of the indoor environment.

[0101] The driving module 300 is used to reduce the heating power of the heating mechanism when the outlet air humidity is less than the first preset humidity.

[0102] It should be noted that since the humidifying mechanism operates under the rated working conditions after startup, when the humidifying capacity provided by the humidifying mechanism does not reach the requirement, the moisture adsorbed by the water storage turntable 40 from the outdoor air will be reduced, resulting in a smaller temperature drop of the air heated by the heating mechanism 30 in the humidifying air duct 20, and the temperature of the air conveyed by the humidifying air duct 20 will rise. At this time, the service life and safety of the humidifying mechanism will be affected; in addition, the temperature of the indoor environment will also rise too fast. If the outdoor environment temperature is relatively high itself, such as in autumn, it will cause the indoor temperature to be too high, affecting the user experience.

[0103] In order to avoid various problems caused by the rise of the outlet air temperature in this embodiment, the heating power of the heating mechanism 30 is reduced; for example, the heating power of the heating mechanism 30 can be reduced by 10% or 20%. In order to adjust the heating mechanism more accurately and avoid the reduction of the humidifying capacity, the reduction value of the heating power can be determined according to the difference between the outlet air humidity and the first preset humidity. The larger the difference, the larger the reduction value, and the smaller the difference, the smaller the reduction value. Of course, the reduction value of the heating power can also be set according to the user's needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0104] In this embodiment, after the humidifying mechanism enters the humidifying mode, the outlet air humidity of the humidifying air duct 20 is detected to judge whether the current humidifying capacity of the humidifying mechanism exceeds the rated operating conditions; if so, the heating power of the heating mechanism 30 is reduced to avoid the rise of the outlet air temperature of the humidifying air duct 20, so as to adjust the operating state of the humidifying mechanism according to the environmental conditions and user needs, and avoid affecting the use of the humidifying mechanism and reducing the user experience.
