[0035] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 12 The invention describes a mosquito repellent device, a life detection method for the mosquito repellent device and an air conditioner.

[0036] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention, according to Figure 1 As shown, the box body 10, the box cover 20, the positioning ribs 60, the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the sensing part 40 are included. The box body 10 and the box cover 20 are slidably connected. The positioning ribs 60 are arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the box cover 20, connecting two opposite side walls of the box body 10. The positioning ribs 60 are arranged in an arc shape toward the direction of the box cover 20 to form an arc-shaped hollow structure. A accommodating cavity is formed inside the hollow structure of the box body 10 for accommodating the mosquito repellent medium 30. The mosquito repellent medium 30 can emit an odor for repelling mosquitoes. The gas passes through the box body 10, mixes with the odor emitted by the mosquito repellent medium 30, and then enters the room.

[0037] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention, according to Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 for Figure 1 Another view of the mosquito repellent device is shown, which includes a box body 10, a box cover 20 and a magnetic portion 50. The magnetic portion 50 is arranged on a side surface of the box body 10 away from the box cover 20. The mosquito repellent device is detachably connected to an external component through the magnetic portion 50. When there is not much mosquito repellent medium 30 left in the box body 10, the user can easily disassemble the box body 10, replace the mosquito repellent medium 30 therein, or clean the mosquito repellent device, etc.

[0038] according to Figure 3 As shown, the sensing part 40 also includes a plurality of sensing units 42, which are spaced apart on the side wall of the box body 10. The sensing units 42 detect the airflow passing through the box body 10, and determine the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment based on the sensing units 42 that detect the airflow.

[0039] according to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, another implementation of the positioning rib 60 is shown. The positioning rib 60 is in a frame structure and is connected to the box body 10 to form a hollow structure.

[0040] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention, according to Figure 5 As shown, in one application scenario, the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention is applied to an air conditioner, and the mosquito repellent device is connected to the air guide plate of the air conditioner through a magnetic suction portion 50, and the air guide plate is arranged on the side of the air conditioner close to the air outlet. After the gas passes through the mosquito repellent device and is mixed with the odor emitted by the mosquito repellent medium 30, it is sent into the room through the air outlet path of the air conditioner to achieve a mosquito repellent effect.

[0041] It should be noted that the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention can be installed not only on an air conditioner, but also on certain locations with faster gas flow rates or on devices such as electric fans, and can achieve a mosquito repellent effect.

[0042] Figure 7is a flowchart of the method for detecting the lifespan of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention. As Figure 7 shown, the method for detecting the lifespan of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention includes:

[0043] Step 100: Obtain the instantaneous air volume flowing through the mosquito repellent device within a continuous acquisition time period;

[0044] Step 200: Obtain the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment, and determine the cumulative air volume flowing through the mosquito repellent device according to the contact area;

[0045] Step 300: Determine the lifespan of the mosquito repellent device according to the instantaneous air volume and the cumulative air volume.

[0046] Specifically, a mosquito repellent medium 30 is provided in the accommodating cavity of the mosquito repellent device. Gas continuously passes through the box body 10 and is mixed with the odor emitted by the mosquito repellent medium 30 to achieve mosquito repelling. The mosquito repellent medium 30 in the box body 10 will be continuously consumed. In order to improve the user experience, the service life of the mosquito repellent device is detected in advance, and the user can judge whether the mosquito repellent medium 30 needs to be replaced according to the service life; and the service life of the mosquito repellent device is related to the instantaneous air volume and the cumulative air volume flowing through the mosquito repellent device. Within a continuous acquisition time period, the instantaneous air volume is obtained, and the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment is determined through the sensing unit 42 that detects the gas, and then the cumulative air volume flowing through the mosquito repellent device is obtained, and the lifespan of the mosquito repellent device is determined according to the instantaneous air volume and the cumulative air volume.

[0047] It should be noted that the lifespan L of the mosquito repellent device = q / Q, where q is the instantaneous air volume and Q is the cumulative air volume.

[0048] In a possible implementation, the mosquito repellent device is applied to an air conditioner, and an indicator light is provided on the display panel of the air conditioner to indicate whether the remaining amount of the mosquito repellent medium 30 in the mosquito repellent device is sufficient.

[0049] When L > 0.5, the mosquito repellent medium 30 is sufficient and the indicator light is green; when 0.1 < L <= 0.5, a part of the mosquito repellent medium 30 is consumed and the indicator light is yellow; when L <= 0.1, the mosquito repellent medium 30 has been exhausted and the indicator light is red. The user can choose whether to replace the mosquito repellent medium 30 according to the color of the indicator light.

[0050] In a possible implementation, the mosquito repellent device can be connected to the sound module in the air conditioner. When 0.1 < L <= 0.5, it automatically prompts the user about how long it will be before the mosquito repellent medium 30 will be exhausted, facilitating the user to judge when to replace the mosquito repellent medium 30 by themselves.

[0051] Figure 8 is a flowchart of the method for detecting the lifespan of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention. As Figure 8As shown, the life detection method of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention comprises:

[0052] Step 110: Obtaining the ventilation area of ​​the mosquito repellent device installation location;

[0053] Step 120: obtaining the instantaneous wind speed of the airflow passing through the ventilation area during the continuous collection time period;

[0054] It should be noted that the main invention point of the present invention is to obtain the ventilation area of ​​the mosquito repellent device in real time through the sensing unit, and then obtain the instantaneous wind volume. For obtaining the instantaneous wind speed, a sensor or other device specifically for detecting the wind speed can be set on the box body 10 or the box cover 20, and the present invention does not make specific limitations on this.

[0055] Step 130: Determine the instantaneous air volume according to the ventilation area and the instantaneous wind speed.

[0056] Specifically, the instantaneous air volume is related to the ventilation area and the instantaneous wind speed. The conversion formula is q=3600*S*v, where q is the instantaneous air volume, S is the ventilation area, and v is the instantaneous wind speed.

[0057] Fig. 9 is a flow chart of the life detection method of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the life detection method of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention comprises:

[0058] Step 210: In response to the opening signal of the box cover 20, the working state of the sensing unit 42 is obtained;

[0059] Step 220: Determine all the sensing units 42 that have detected that the airflow has reached a preset airflow rate, and classify them as working sensing units; classify all the remaining sensing units 42 that have not detected the airflow rate and / or the detected airflow rate has not reached the preset airflow rate as standby sensing units;

[0060] Step 230: Determine the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment based on all the working sensing units.

[0061] Specifically, when the box cover 20 is in an open state, the sensing unit 42 is classified into a working sensing unit and a standby sensing unit based on whether the airflow passing through the sensing unit 42 reaches a preset airflow volume and whether the airflow is detected, and the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment is determined based on all the working sensing units.

[0062] It should be noted that the width of the box body 10 perpendicular to the moving direction of the slide cover is a certain value. After all the working sensing units are determined, the distance between the first and the last working sensing units can be determined, and then the contact area can be obtained.

[0063] Fig.10 is a flow chart of the life detection method of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention, such as Fig.10 As shown, the life detection method of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention comprises:

[0064] Step 240: Obtaining the wind speed of the air conditioner in the working mode and the flow time of the airflow passing through the mosquito repellent device;

[0065] Step 250: Determine the cumulative air volume according to the working mode wind speed, flow time and contact area.

[0066] Specifically, the gas passes through the mosquito repellent device, the mosquito repellent medium 30 emits an odor, and the air volume of the entire process from the time the mosquito repellent device is turned on to the time when the mosquito repellent medium 30 in the mosquito repellent device is completely dissipated is called the cumulative air volume. The cumulative air volume is related to the wind speed, flow time and contact area of ​​the air conditioner working mode.

[0067] Q=3600*S*V*T, where Q is the cumulative air volume, S is the contact area, V is the working mode wind speed, and T is the flow time.

[0068] It should be noted that the above-mentioned v is the instantaneous wind speed. When there is mosquito repellent medium 30 remaining in the box body 10, the air-conditioning wind passes through the box body 10 and the wind speed will inevitably decrease, which is different from the wind speed in the V working mode.

[0069] In a possible implementation, V is divided into four levels, namely high, medium, low and silent, which respectively correspond to the wind speeds in several air supply modes of the air conditioner.

[0070] Among them, high-range is 7m / s, mid-range is 5m / s, low-range and silent is 3m / s.

[0071] Fig.11 is a flow chart of the life detection method of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention, such as Fig.11 As shown, the life detection method of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention comprises:

[0072] Step 310: Obtaining the consumption coefficient of the mosquito repellent medium 30, the historical contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment, and the cumulative contact time corresponding to the historical contact area;

[0073] Step 320: determining the remaining effective amount of the mosquito repellent medium 30 according to the historical contact area, the cumulative contact time and the consumption coefficient;

[0074] Step 330: Determine the life of the mosquito repellent device according to the instantaneous air volume, the accumulated air volume and the remaining effective margin.

[0075] Specifically, when the mosquito repellent device is in working condition, the mosquito repellent medium 30 will be consumed to a certain extent over time. In order to more accurately detect the life of the mosquito repellent device, the consumption coefficient of the mosquito repellent medium 30 is obtained, the historical contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment, and the cumulative contact time corresponding to the historical contact area are obtained, and then the remaining effective margin is determined. When a part of the mosquito repellent medium 30 in the box body 10 has been consumed, according to the above three conditions, the detected life will be more accurate.

[0076] according to Fig.12 As shown, Fig.12 A detection logic diagram of the life detection method of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention, when the air conditioner is turned on, in response to the opening signal of the mosquito repellent module, the working wind speed of the air conditioner is obtained, and the timing is started, and the cumulative air volume is calculated, the life is calculated based on the instantaneous air volume and the cumulative air volume, and the user is prompted through the indicator light on the display screen of the air conditioner according to the life, and the life detection is ended; if the mosquito repellent module is not in the on state, the life detection is directly ended.

[0077] According to the first aspect of the present invention, a mosquito repellent device is provided, comprising: a box body 10, a box cover 20, a mosquito repellent medium 30 and a sensing part 40; a accommodating cavity for accommodating the mosquito repellent medium 30 is formed inside the box body 10; the box cover 20 is slidably connected to the box body 10, and is used to connect the accommodating cavity with the external environment; the sensing part 40 is arranged on the side wall of the box body 10 along the sliding direction of the box cover 20, and is used to detect the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment.

[0078] Specifically, the main function of the existing air conditioners on the market is to adjust the indoor temperature. Due to the structure and working principle of the air conditioner, the indoor space is generally required to be a closed space. In summer, it is hot and mosquitoes are active. The activities of mosquitoes in the closed space indoors not only affect people's sleep, but also bite users to spread diseases. The mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention has a box body 10 and a box cover 20 that are slidably connected. A receiving cavity is formed inside the box body 10 for receiving a mosquito repellent medium 30. The mosquito repellent medium 30 can emit an odor for repelling mosquitoes. The gas passes through the box body 10 and mixes with the odor emitted by the mosquito repellent medium 30, and then enters the room to repel mosquitoes. The sensing part 40 is used to determine the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 inside the box body 10 and the external environment.

[0079] In a possible implementation, an aromatherapy module may be placed in the accommodating cavity to diffuse the aromatherapy substance into the room through airflow.

[0080] In a possible implementation manner, the box cover 20 can be manually adjusted by a user, and a driving unit can also be provided to drive the box cover 20 to move along the extension direction of the box body 10 .

[0081] It should be noted that the box cover 20 can not only select whether to turn on the mosquito repellent function, but also control the degree of opening of the mosquito repellent function by adjusting the size of the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 in the box cover 20 and the airflow passing through the box body 10.

[0082] It should also be noted that, on the other hand, when the mosquito repellent function does not need to be turned on, the box cover 20 completely wraps the box body 10, blocking the emission of the mosquito repellent medium 30 to the greatest extent, which can effectively extend the service life of the mosquito repellent medium in the mosquito repellent device.

[0083] It should also be noted that the present invention does not make any specific limitation on the size of the box body 10, and the size can be selected according to user needs. For example, if the mosquito repellent mode is turned on for a long time or in order to reduce the number of replacements, a larger box body 10 can be selected.

[0084] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the box body 10 includes: a magnetic attraction portion 50, which is arranged on a side surface of the box body 10 away from the box cover 20, and is used to achieve a detachable connection between the box body 10 and an external component.

[0085] Specifically, the magnetic attraction portion 50 is arranged on a side surface of the box body 10 away from the box cover 20, and the mosquito repellent device is detachably connected to the external component through the magnetic attraction portion 50. When there is not much mosquito repellent medium 30 left in the box body 10, the user can easily disassemble the box body 10, replace the mosquito repellent medium 30 therein, or clean the mosquito repellent device, etc.

[0086] It should be noted that, at two ends along the extension direction of the box body 10 , one end is closed and the other end is open, so that the user can replace the mosquito repellent medium 30 conveniently.

[0087] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the box body 10 includes: positioning ribs 60, a plurality of positioning ribs 60 are arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the box cover 20, and each positioning rib 60 is respectively connected to two opposite side walls of the box body 10, and is used to connect the box body 10 to form a hollow structure; wherein, a accommodating cavity is formed inside the hollow structure.

[0088] A plurality of positioning ribs 60 are arranged at intervals on the box body 10, and the positioning ribs 60 and the box body 10 form a hollow structure, and a receiving cavity is formed in the hollow structure for containing the mosquito repellent medium 30. The mosquito repellent medium 30 emits an odor, and the gas passes through the box body 10, mixes with the emitted mosquito repellent medium, and diffuses into the room.

[0089] In a possible implementation manner, the positioning rib 60 is arranged in an arc shape along a direction toward the box cover 20 and is connected to the box body 10 to form an arc-shaped hollow structure.

[0090] In a possible implementation manner, the positioning rib 60 is in a frame structure, connected to the box body 10 to form a hollow structure.

[0091] It should be noted that the shape of the positioning rib 60 is not specifically limited in the present invention and can be selected according to the shape of the mosquito repellent medium in the box body 10 .

[0092] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of sensing units 42 are arranged at intervals on the side wall of the box body 10 along the sliding direction of the box body 10 and the box cover 20; wherein the sensing units 42 detect the airflow flowing through the box body 10 and determine the contact area based on the detected airflow.

[0093] Specifically, the sensing part 40 is composed of a plurality of sensing units 42, which are arranged at intervals on the side walls of the box body 10, and can detect the airflow flowing through the box body 10. According to the sensing units 42 that detect the airflow, the distance between all the sensing units 42 that detect the airflow can be determined, and then the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment can be determined.

[0094] According to the second aspect of the present invention, a life detection method for a mosquito repellent device is provided, which is applied to an air conditioner. The method comprises: obtaining the instantaneous air volume flowing through the mosquito repellent device within a continuous collection time period; obtaining the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment, and determining the cumulative air volume flowing through the mosquito repellent device based on the contact area; and determining the life of the mosquito repellent device based on the instantaneous air volume and the cumulative air volume.

[0095] Specifically, the present invention also provides a life detection method for a mosquito repellent device, which is used to solve the problem in the prior art that the life of the mosquito repellent device for the air conditioner cannot be detected in advance, resulting in a poor user experience. By obtaining the instantaneous air volume flowing through the box body 10 and the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment during a continuous collection time period, the cumulative air volume is determined, and the life of the mosquito repellent device is obtained based on the instantaneous air volume and the cumulative air volume. The user can know the remaining amount of the mosquito repellent medium 30 in the mosquito repellent device based on the detected service life, and choose whether to replace it or when to replace it, thereby improving the user experience.

[0096] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the step of obtaining the instantaneous air volume flowing through the mosquito repellent device within a continuous collection time period specifically includes: obtaining the area of ​​the ventilation region where the mosquito repellent device is set; obtaining the instantaneous wind speed of the airflow flowing through the ventilation region within the continuous collection time period; and determining the instantaneous air volume based on the area of ​​the ventilation region and the instantaneous wind speed.

[0097] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method for determining the instantaneous wind volume according to the instantaneous wind speed and the area of ​​the ventilation area. The instantaneous wind volume is related to the instantaneous wind speed and the area of ​​the ventilation area.

[0098] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the step of obtaining the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment specifically includes: in response to the opening signal of the box cover 20, obtaining the working state of the sensing unit 42, the sensing unit 42 is arranged on the side wall of the box body 10 along the sliding direction of the box cover 20; determining all the sensing units 42 that detect that the airflow flowing through reaches a preset airflow rate, and classifying them as working sensing units; classifying all the remaining sensing units 42 that have not detected the airflow rate and / or the detected airflow rate does not reach the preset airflow rate as standby sensing units; and determining the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment based on all the working sensing units 42.

[0099] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method for determining the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment based on all working sensing units, and classifies the sensing unit 42 into a working sensing unit and a standby sensing unit based on whether the airflow passing through the sensing unit 42 reaches a preset airflow rate and whether the airflow is detected, and determines the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment based on all working sensing units.

[0100] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining the cumulative air volume flowing through the mosquito repellent device based on the contact area specifically includes: obtaining the working mode wind speed of the air conditioner and the flow time of the airflow through the mosquito repellent device; determining the cumulative air volume based on the working mode wind speed, flow time and contact area.

[0101] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method for determining the cumulative air volume based on the working mode wind speed, flow time and contact area. The cumulative air volume is determined based on the acquired working mode wind speed and working mode working time of the air conditioner, that is, the airflow flow time, and the contact area, and then the life of the mosquito repellent device is determined.

[0102] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining the life of the mosquito repellent device based on the instantaneous wind volume and the cumulative wind volume specifically includes: obtaining the consumption coefficient of the mosquito repellent medium 30, the historical contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment, and the cumulative contact time corresponding to the historical contact area; determining the remaining effective remainder of the mosquito repellent medium 30 based on the historical contact area, the cumulative contact time and the consumption coefficient; determining the life of the mosquito repellent device based on the instantaneous wind volume, the cumulative wind volume and the remaining effective remainder.

[0103] Specifically, the present embodiment provides an implementation method for determining the life of the mosquito repellent device based on the instantaneous air volume, the cumulative air volume and the remaining effective balance. The mosquito repellent medium 30 will be continuously consumed when the mosquito repellent device is working. Therefore, based on the obtained consumption coefficient of the mosquito repellent medium 30, as well as the historical contact area and cumulative contact time between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment, the remaining effective balance of the mosquito repellent medium 30 in the box body 10 can be determined. Under the premise of the instantaneous air volume and the cumulative air volume, the remaining effective balance of the mosquito repellent medium 30 is also used as a reference, so that the life of the mosquito repellent device can be obtained more accurately.

[0104] The life detection method of the mosquito repellent device provided by the present invention determines the cumulative air volume by obtaining the instantaneous air volume flowing through the box body 10 and the contact area between the mosquito repellent medium 30 and the external environment during a continuous collection time period, and then obtains the life of the mosquito repellent device based on the instantaneous air volume and the cumulative air volume. The user can know the remaining amount of the mosquito repellent medium 30 in the mosquito repellent device based on the detected service life and choose whether to replace it or when to replace it, which solves the problem that the mosquito repellent device used for the air conditioner in the prior art cannot detect the life in advance, resulting in a poor user experience.
