[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0035] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand, explicitly and implicitly, that the embodiments described in this invention can be combined with other embodiments without conflict. Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this invention should be understood in their ordinary sense by those skilled in the art. The terms "a," "an," "an," "the," etc., used in this invention do not indicate quantity limitation and can represent singular or plural. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and any variations thereof used in this invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., used in this invention are merely to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of objects.

[0036] With social progress and technological development, electric vehicles, electric tricycles, and motorcycles have become popular choices for public transportation. When riding an electric vehicle, it is essential to wear a helmet. The brain is the body's temperature regulation center and prefers a cool environment. Generally, discomfort will occur when the temperature exceeds 27°C. Wearing a helmet in the hot summer will further cause the head to sweat, raising the temperature around the head and increasing the risk of heatstroke.

[0037] In summer, indoor air conditioning is used for cooling, and in winter, it is used for heating. The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors can easily cause cerebral blood circulation disorders in middle-aged and elderly people, especially those with hypertension, arteriosclerosis and other diseases, thus increasing the risk of stroke. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people need a solution that can protect their heads and maintain a constant head temperature to reduce the risk of stroke.

[0038] The helmet provided by this invention is portable and maintains a comfortable head temperature of 26°C, ensuring mental alertness and comfort. To protect the comfort of outdoor workers and the health of the elderly, a helmet with air conditioning and a method for controlling the helmet's air conditioning are needed, allowing for zoned temperature adjustment and providing convenience for outdoor workers in summer and other groups in need. Detailed explanation follows.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the steps of a control method for an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0040] S110: In response to a first signal indicating helmet wearing, acquire environmental features collected in at least one acquisition area.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of acquiring environmental features collected from at least one acquisition area specifically includes: acquiring priority identification information for each acquisition area; and sorting all acquired environmental features according to the priority identification information.

[0042] Specifically, the helmet's data collection area can be divided into four regions: Region 1 corresponds to the front of the head, Region 2 to the back of the head, Region 3 to the left side of the head, and Region 4 to the right side of the head. Each region has its own priority indicator. Since the front of the head generally produces the most sweat and has the most significant cooling effect, it has the highest priority. The priorities of Regions 1, 2, 3, and 4 decrease in that order. The collected environmental features are sorted according to their priority indicators, allowing the processor to process them sequentially.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the environmental features include the instantaneous temperature value of the corresponding collection area, and the preset features include the preset temperature value of the corresponding collection area; the step of comparing the environmental features and the preset features specifically includes: comparing the instantaneous temperature value and the preset temperature value, and generating a comparison result.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 2The diagram shows a flowchart of a control method for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. A sensor is installed on the helmet. When the user needs to use the helmet's air conditioning, the sensor switch is turned on. When the user puts on the helmet, the sensor generates a first signal and sends it to a processor associated with the helmet. After receiving the first signal, the processor sends instructions to a data acquisition device to collect environmental characteristics, such as sending the real-time temperature values ​​of the air in various acquisition areas of the helmet to a temperature sensor.

[0045] During cycling, the side exposed to sunlight is generally warmer than the side not exposed to sunlight. In summer, the non-sunlit side is cooler than the sunlit side, and in winter, the sunlit side is warmer than the non-sunlit side, resulting in an uneven temperature distribution across different areas of the head. To ensure a comfortable temperature for all parts of the head, the helmet's air conditioning system operates in zones to regulate the temperature of each zone. This intelligent temperature control is also more cost-effective than running a uniform air conditioning system throughout the helmet.

[0046] Specifically, temperature sensors are installed at corresponding positions in the helmet on the front, back, left, and right sides of the head, and instructions are sent to them sequentially according to priority to collect the temperature of the surrounding air in different areas of the head, and real-time temperature values ​​for different areas are generated. At the same time, the collected real-time temperature values ​​are processed according to the priority of different collection area identifiers.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the instantaneous temperature values ​​of each sampling area of ​​the head include at least the temperature value T1 of the first area of ​​the helmet, the temperature value T2 of the second area of ​​the helmet, the temperature value T3 of the third area of ​​the helmet, and the temperature value T4 of the fourth area of ​​the helmet.

[0048] Specifically, the temperature value T1 of the first area of ​​the helmet is the temperature value of the front side of the head, the temperature value T2 of the second area of ​​the helmet is the temperature value of the back side of the head, the temperature value T3 of the third area of ​​the helmet is the temperature value of the left side of the head, and the temperature value T4 of the fourth area of ​​the helmet is the temperature value of the right side of the head.

[0049] S120: Compare environmental characteristics with preset characteristics, and adjust the air conditioner's operating mode based on the comparison results.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, the temperature value of the first area of ​​the helmet is compared with a preset temperature value; the temperature value of the second area of ​​the helmet is compared with a preset temperature value; the temperature value of the third area of ​​the helmet is compared with a preset temperature value; and the temperature value of the fourth area of ​​the helmet is compared with a preset temperature value.

[0051] Specifically, the acquired temperature values ​​T1 (first area), T2 (second area), T3 (third area), and T4 (fourth area) of the helmet are compared with a preset temperature of 26℃. Based on the comparison results for each area, the operating mode of the air conditioner in each data collection area is determined. This allows for targeted temperature balancing across different areas of the head, rather than a single vent blowing air uniformly onto the head. Zoned airflow addresses the issue of uneven head temperature more precisely, improving the user experience.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, adjusting the operating mode of the air conditioner according to the comparison result specifically includes: determining that the instantaneous temperature value in the collection area is greater than the preset temperature value, and controlling the air conditioner in the collection area to turn on the cooling air supply mode; determining that the instantaneous temperature value in the collection area is less than the preset temperature value, and controlling the air conditioner in the collection area to turn on the heating air supply mode; determining that the instantaneous temperature value in the collection area is the same as the preset temperature value, and controlling the air conditioner in the collection area to standby.

[0053] Specifically, if the temperature value of the first area of ​​the helmet is determined to be greater than the preset temperature value, the air conditioner of the corresponding first area of ​​the helmet is controlled to turn on the cooling and air supply mode; if the temperature value of the second area of ​​the helmet is determined to be greater than the preset temperature value, the air conditioner of the corresponding second area of ​​the helmet is controlled to turn on the cooling and air supply mode; if the temperature value of the third area of ​​the helmet is determined to be greater than the preset temperature value, the air conditioner of the corresponding third area of ​​the helmet is controlled to turn on the cooling and air supply mode; if the temperature value of the fourth area of ​​the helmet is determined to be greater than the preset temperature value, the air conditioner of the corresponding fourth area of ​​the helmet is controlled to turn on the cooling and air supply mode.

[0054] Specifically, when the temperature values ​​T1, T2, T3, and T4 of the helmet's first, second, third, and fourth zones are all greater than the preset temperature value of 26°C, it indicates that the ambient temperature is high. In this case, the heating and air supply mode can be turned on uniformly in all the temperature collection zones of the air conditioner. If the temperature value collected in any zone is different from that in other zones, then that zone will perform operations independently based on its temperature value.

[0055] For example, when construction workers are working, they sweat and release heat. Since the heat is released evenly from the head, the temperature values ​​collected by the temperature sensor in each area should be similar and higher than the preset temperature value of 26°C. If the user turns on the helmet's air conditioning system, the cooling air supply mode will be turned on uniformly in each area of ​​the helmet based on the collected temperature values ​​being greater than 26°C.

[0056] For example, when a user is cycling outdoors, the side exposed to sunlight is warmer than the side not exposed to sunlight. If the side exposed to sunlight is the left side of the helmet, the temperature value collected on the left side of the helmet is higher than 26℃, while the temperature on the right side of the helmet, which is not exposed to sunlight, is exactly 26℃. At this time, based on the detected temperature values ​​of different areas, the air conditioner in the third area corresponding to the left side of the helmet is turned on and operates in cooling mode, while the air conditioner in the fourth area corresponding to the right side of the helmet is in standby mode. Similarly, the operating status of the air conditioner in the first area corresponding to the front of the helmet and the second area corresponding to the back of the helmet is determined by the temperature value.

[0057] Specifically, if the temperature value of the first area of ​​the helmet is determined to be lower than the preset temperature value, the air conditioner of the corresponding first area of ​​the helmet will be controlled to turn on the heating and air supply mode; if the temperature value of the second area of ​​the helmet is determined to be lower than the preset temperature value, the air conditioner of the corresponding second area of ​​the helmet will be controlled to turn on the heating and air supply mode; if the temperature value of the third area of ​​the helmet is determined to be lower than the preset temperature value, the air conditioner of the corresponding third area of ​​the helmet will be controlled to turn on the heating and air supply mode; if the temperature value of the fourth area of ​​the helmet is determined to be lower than the preset temperature value, the air conditioner of the corresponding fourth area of ​​the helmet will be controlled to turn on the heating and air supply mode.

[0058] Specifically, when the temperature values ​​T1, T2, T3, and T4 of the helmet's first, second, third, and fourth zones are all lower than the preset temperature value of 26°C, it indicates that the ambient temperature is low. In this case, the heating and air supply mode can be turned on uniformly in all the areas where the air conditioner is collecting data. If the temperature value collected in any zone is different from that in other zones, then that zone will perform the operation independently based on its temperature value.

[0059] For example, when construction workers are working outdoors in winter, all the head sensor areas need to be kept warm. At this time, the temperature values ​​collected by the temperature sensors in each sensor area should be similar and lower than the preset temperature value of 26°C. If the user turns on the helmet's air conditioning system, the heating and air supply mode will be turned on uniformly in all sensor areas of the helmet based on the collected temperature values ​​being less than 26°C.

[0060] For example, when a user is cycling outdoors, the side exposed to sunlight is warmer than the side not exposed to sunlight. For instance, if the side exposed to sunlight is the left side of the helmet, the temperature value collected on the left side of the helmet is exactly 26℃, while the temperature on the right side of the helmet is lower than 26℃ because it is not exposed to sunlight. At this time, based on the detected temperature values ​​of different areas, the air conditioner in the third area corresponding to the left side of the helmet is turned on and put into standby mode, while the air conditioner in the fourth area corresponding to the right side of the helmet is operated in heating and air supply mode. Similarly, the first area corresponding to the front of the helmet and the second area corresponding to the back of the helmet determine the operating status of the air conditioner in their respective areas based on the temperature values.

[0061] Specifically, if the temperature value of the first area of ​​the helmet is determined to be equal to the preset temperature value, the air conditioner of the corresponding first area of ​​the helmet will be put into standby mode; if the temperature value of the second area of ​​the helmet is determined to be equal to the preset temperature value, the air conditioner of the corresponding second area of ​​the helmet will be put into standby mode; if the temperature value of the third area of ​​the helmet is determined to be equal to the preset temperature value, the air conditioner of the corresponding third area of ​​the helmet will be put into standby mode; if the temperature value of the fourth area of ​​the helmet is determined to be equal to the preset temperature value, the air conditioner of the corresponding fourth area of ​​the helmet will be put into standby mode.

[0062] For example, a preset temperature of 26℃ is considered the optimal temperature for the human body. Therefore, when the air temperature in each sampling area of ​​the head is 26℃, the air conditioner in that area will be switched to standby mode. It should be noted that the preset temperature is the initial default value. If the user has other needs, they can set their own preset temperature to personalize the experience and improve user comfort.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, the environmental features further include real-time hair features corresponding to the collection area, and the preset features include preset hair features corresponding to the collection area; the step of comparing the environmental features and the preset features specifically includes: comparing the real-time hair features and the preset hair features, and generating a comparison result.

[0064] Specifically, hair has a heat-insulating effect on the head, and the denser the hair, the stronger this effect. To adjust air conditioning operation based on different users' hair characteristics, users with sparse hair should have a lower fan speed at startup to allow them to gradually adapt to the temperature, preventing scalp irritation from rapid cooling, especially in summer. Users with thick hair should have a slightly higher fan speed at startup to achieve rapid cooling without scalp irritation. Therefore, this application uses a hair feature collector to capture real-time hair features and compares them with stored preset features to determine the air conditioner's operating fan speed.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, the real-time hair features include hair thickness, hair length, and hair density; adjusting the operating mode of the air conditioner according to the comparison results specifically includes: determining a first weight corresponding to hair thickness, a second weight corresponding to hair length, and a third weight corresponding to hair density; calculating the airflow speed of the air conditioner in the collection area corresponding to the hair features based on the first weight, the second weight, and the third weight; wherein the priority of the first weight, the second weight, and the third weight decreases sequentially.

[0066] Specifically, hair thickness, length, and density all affect the heat dissipation of a user's head. The more abundant and thicker the hair, the slower the head feels cool or warm. Therefore, corresponding weight values ​​are set based on hair thickness, length, and density. After calculating the result based on these weight values, the corresponding air conditioner fan speed is retrieved. This allows for personalized fan speed release based on the user's hair characteristics, ensuring rapid cooling or heating while preventing irritation to the user's head, thus improving the user experience.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the air conditioner is in cooling and air supply mode, the environmental characteristics also include the instantaneous humidity value of the collection area; a fourth weight corresponding to the instantaneous humidity value is determined, and the cooling air velocity of the air conditioner is calculated and determined based on the first weight, the second weight, the third weight and the fourth weight.

[0068] Specifically, users sweat in the summer, and their heads release a lot of sweat, wetting their hair. A humidity sensor is set up in the collection area to collect the real-time humidity value of the user's head. Based on the real-time humidity value, the air conditioner's operating speed is determined, which can further help users adjust to a suitable air speed, allowing users to adapt to the environment as quickly as possible under comfortable conditions.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, user voice is acquired and analyzed; the air conditioning fan speed in different areas is controlled based on the analysis results.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, acquiring a user's voice sequence, analyzing the voice sequence, and controlling the air conditioner fan speed in the acquisition area based on the analysis results specifically includes: acquiring a user's voice sequence, the voice sequence containing multiple voice data frames; analyzing the frequency characteristics of the voice data frames, matching the frequency characteristics with the frequency characteristics of a pre-set template to obtain a similarity; and determining that the similarity is greater than a preset similarity threshold, then triggering the fan speed command corresponding to the voice sequence.

[0071] Specifically, the helmet can also be equipped with a voice control module. If the user is not satisfied with the helmet's default air conditioning mode, they can change the air conditioning mode for different areas through voice control, and also adjust the air conditioning fan speed for different areas.

[0072] After acquiring the user's voice sequence, the voice control module breaks it down into multiple voice data frames, analyzes their frequency characteristics, and matches these characteristics with pre-set template frequency characteristics. For example, if the user's voice is "wind speed level 4 in zone 1" or "wind speed level 3 in zone 2," the module determines the similarity between the user's voice sequence and the multiple template frequency characteristics. The module identifies the command corresponding to the template frequency characteristic with the highest similarity exceeding a preset threshold of 95%, and adjusts the wind speed in the corresponding acquisition area based on this command. It should be noted that the preset threshold can be freely set according to actual conditions.

[0073] After putting on the helmet, users can adjust the cooling and heating modes by nodding or shaking their heads. For example, if the user triggers the nodding or shaking control switch and the user shakes their head, the cooling mode will be activated. If the user nods, the heating mode will be activated. The amplitude of nodding or shaking the head can adjust the temperature in the cooling or heating mode.

[0074] S130: In response to a second signal indicating that the helmet has been removed, turn off the air conditioner.

[0075] Specifically, when the helmet is removed, if the sensor cannot detect the user's head, it will generate a second signal to control the air conditioner to turn off.

[0076] The above describes a control method for an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a corresponding control device for an air conditioner, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0077] A control device for an air conditioner includes: a data acquisition module 301, configured to acquire environmental features collected in at least one acquisition area in response to a first signal indicating that a helmet is being worn; a processing module 302, configured to compare the environmental features with preset features and adjust the operating mode of the air conditioner based on the comparison result; and a control module 303, configured to turn off the air conditioner in response to a second signal indicating that the helmet is being removed.
