[0056] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below through the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific features in the embodiments of the present application and the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and are not limitations of the technical solutions of the present application. In the case of no conflict, the technical features in the embodiments of the present application and the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0057] As Figure 1 indicated, according to a first aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a control method of a sterilizer is provided, comprising:

[0058] Step 101: In the case that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, the continuous opening time length of the door body for covering the water inlet of the sterilizer is obtained. It can be understood that the continuous opening time length of the door body refers to the maximum time length of a single door opening. It can be understood that a water level sensor can be provided in the sterilizer, and the water level state of the sterilizer is obtained through the water level sensor. When the water level information detected by the water level sensor is lower than a second threshold value, it can be considered that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state. In this case, it is not necessary to continuously detect the water level information of the sterilizer through the water level sensor, but the opening and closing state of the door body of the sterilizer is obtained, and the continuous opening time length of the door body of the sterilizer is counted. Such a setting can reduce the working time length of the water level sensor of the sterilizer, improve the service life of the water level sensor, and reduce the failure rate of the sterilizer. It can be understood that a switch detection sensor can be provided, and the continuous opening time length of the door body is obtained through the switch detection sensor. The switch detection sensor can include an infrared sensor, and whether the door body is away from the sterilizer body is sensed through the infrared sensor. If the door body is away from the sterilizer body, it indicates that the door body is in an open state, and the continuous time length that the door body is away from the sterilizer body is counted, that is, the continuous opening time length of the door body is obtained.

[0059] Step 102: determining the working state of the sterilizer based on the continuous opening duration. It can be understood that if the continuous opening duration is long, it means that the user has a high probability of operating the sterilizer, especially when the door is opened, the water storage part inside the sterilizer is opened, and the continuous opening duration of the door is long, which means that the user has a high probability of adding water to the water storage part and cleaning the water storage part. On the contrary, if the door is always in a closed state or the continuous opening duration of the door is short, it means that the user has a high probability of not operating the sterilizer, and the sterilizer is still in a water shortage state.

[0060] The control method of the sterilizer provided in the embodiment of the application can determine the working state of the sterilizer based on the continuous opening duration of the door when it is known that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state. The working state of the sterilizer is determined based on the continuous opening duration of the door, which can identify the water level state and the cleaning state in the sterilizer. If the continuous opening duration of the door is long, it can be considered that the user has found that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, the user has opened the door of the sterilizer, and the user has operated the sterilizer. In this case, it can be considered that the user has a high probability of adding water to the sterilizer, and the user has cleaned the sterilizer. If the door is always in a closed state or the continuous opening duration of the door is short after the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, it can be considered that the user has not operated the sterilizer, and the sterilizer is still in a water shortage state. The sterilizer has a high probability of not being cleaned. Through the control method provided in the embodiment of the application, the working state of the sterilizer can be determined based on the continuous opening duration of the door, and the user can know the working state of the sterilizer. After knowing the working state of the sterilizer, the user can perform corresponding operations according to the working state of the sterilizer, which can remind the user to maintain the sterilizer, make the water adding and cleaning of the sterilizer not completely rely on the active intervention of the user, help to reduce the duration of the sterilizer in a water shortage state, help to remind the user to clean the sterilizer, and improve the sterilization efficiency of the sterilizer.

[0061] Through the control method provided in the embodiment of the application, when it is known that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, the water level sensor of the sterilizer does not need to be continuously opened, and the water level information of the sterilizer does not need to be frequently collected. Instead, the continuous opening duration of the door is detected, which can greatly reduce the use frequency and working duration of the water level sensor, reduce the maintenance frequency of the sterilizer, and improve the service life of the sterilizer.

[0062] In some examples, based on the continuous opening duration, the step of determining the working state of the sterilizer comprises: in the case that the continuous opening duration is greater than a first threshold, collecting water level information of the sterilizer; in the case that the water level information is less than or equal to a second threshold, determining that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state; in the case that the water level information is greater than the second threshold, determining that the sterilizer is in a water sufficient state.

[0063] After the continuous opening duration is obtained, the working state of the sterilizer can be further determined based on a comparison between the continuous duration and the first threshold. For example, if the continuous opening duration is greater than the first threshold, it indicates that the door body is opened for a long time, and there is a high probability that the user has intervened in the operation of the sterilizer. In this case, the water level information of the sterilizer can be further collected. If the water level information is less than or equal to the second threshold, it indicates that although the user has a high probability of actively opening the door body of the sterilizer, the user does not add water to the water storage part of the sterilizer, and the sterilizer is still in a water shortage state. In this case, the water level sensor can be closed again, and the continuous opening duration of the door body can be collected again until the continuous opening duration of the door body is greater than the first threshold. Then, the water level sensor is opened again to detect the water level information.

[0064] When the collected water level information is greater than the second threshold, it indicates that although the user has opened the door body for a long time, and the user has added water to the sterilizer, the sterilizer is in a water sufficient state.

[0065] In some examples, the first threshold is greater than 10s to ensure that the user has sufficient time to complete the water adding action when the continuous opening duration is greater than the first threshold.

[0066] In some examples, the sterilizer can include a water tank and a water tank, and the water tank is connected to the water tank. The water level sensor can be used to detect the water level information of the water tank. The user adds water to the water tank, and the water in the water tank is supplied to the water tank. When the continuous opening duration is greater than the first threshold, and the water level information of the water tank changes, the user has a high probability of cleaning the water tank. Therefore, in the case that the water level information is greater than the second threshold, it can also be considered that the user has cleaned the water tank.

[0067] In some examples, based on the continuous opening duration, the step of determining the working state of the sterilizer further comprises: in the case that the continuous opening duration is less than or equal to the first threshold, determining that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state.

[0068] When the continuous opening duration is less than or equal to the first threshold, it indicates that the door body of the sterilizer is not opened or the door body of the sterilizer is opened for a short time. The user is not enough to add water to the water storage part of the sterilizer, so the working state of the sterilizer will not change, and the sterilizer will still be in a water shortage state. In this case, it is not necessary to collect the water level information of the sterilizer, and it is not necessary to open the water level sensor of the sterilizer.

[0069] In some examples, the prompt information corresponding to the working state is generated, and the sterilizer is controlled to issue the prompt information.

[0070] After learning the working state of the sterilizer, the prompt information corresponding to the working state can be generated, and then the sterilizer is controlled to issue the prompt information, so that the user can learn the working state of the sterilizer and be reminded to add water to the sterilizer.

[0071] In some examples, the sterilizer can include a display device, and the display device can be used to display the prompt information to make the user learn the working state of the sterilizer. The display device can be a display screen, and the prompt information can be text corresponding to the working state. The display device can also be a lamp bead. There can be multiple lamp beads, and each lamp bead or each type of lamp bead can correspond to a working state. After the prompt information is generated, the sterilizer can control the corresponding lamp bead to light up in response to the prompt information.

[0072] In some examples, the sterilizer can also include a voice broadcast system. After the prompt information is generated, the voice broadcast system can broadcast the prompt information to make the user learn the working state of the sterilizer.

[0073] In some examples, the sterilizer can also be connected to a terminal of a user. After the prompt information is generated, the prompt information can be sent to the terminal to display the prompt information. It can be understood that the terminal can be a mobile terminal or an application installed in a mobile terminal.

[0074] In some examples, the step of controlling the sterilizer to issue the prompt information includes: in the case that the prompt information is water shortage prompt information, controlling the sterilizer to light up a water shortage prompt lamp; and in the case that the prompt information is water level sufficient prompt information, controlling the sterilizer to turn off the water shortage prompt lamp.

[0075] In the case that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, water shortage prompt information can be generated, and the sterilizer can light up a water shortage prompt lamp in response to the prompt information to remind the user that the sterilizer is currently in a water shortage state. The user can then add water to the sterilizer. Such a configuration can reduce the duration of the water shortage state of the sterilizer and improve the sterilization effect.

[0076] In the case that the sterilizer is in a water level sufficient state, the water shortage prompt lamp can be turned off. The user can learn the working state of the sterilizer by observing the state of the water shortage prompt lamp, which is more intuitive and convenient.

[0077] In some examples, the step of generating the prompt information corresponding to the working state and controlling the sterilizer to issue the prompt information further includes: in the case that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, generating cleaning prompt information and controlling the sterilizer to light up a cleaning prompt lamp.

[0078] When the sterilizer is in the water shortage state, it indicates that the sterilizer has been used for a long time and a large amount of water has been evaporated for sterilization. In this case, the cleaning prompt information can be generated, and the sterilizer can light up the cleaning prompt light in response to the cleaning prompt information. After observing that the cleaning prompt light is lit, the user can clean the sterilizer.

[0079] The control method provided by the embodiments of the present application first determines whether the sterilizer is in a water shortage state based on the duration of the continuous opening of the door body. When the sterilizer is in the water shortage state, the user is reminded to clean the sterilizer. On the one hand, the user can be reminded to clean the sterilizer to avoid dirt or impurities in the sterilizer, especially to avoid dirt or impurities in the water storage part of the sterilizer, which can improve the sterilization effect of the sterilizer and make the cleaning of the sterilizer not completely dependent on the active intervention of the user, so that the user can be reminded to clean the sterilizer. On the other hand, the water shortage state can represent the use state or use duration of the sterilizer. When the sterilizer is in the water shortage state, the user is reminded to clean the sterilizer. The water shortage state is suitable for the working rhythm of the sterilizer, so that the cleaning of the sterilizer does not depend on a specific time interval, but depends on the working state of the sterilizer. When the sterilizer is in the water shortage state, it indicates that the sterilizer has evaporated a large amount of water. In this case, the user is reminded to clean the sterilizer, which is more targeted.

[0080] In some examples, the step of generating the prompt information corresponding to the working state further includes: generating sterilization medium addition prompt information when the sterilizer is in the water level sufficient state, and controlling the sterilizer to light up the sterilization medium addition confirmation key; and controlling the sterilization medium addition confirmation key to be extinguished when the sterilization medium addition information is received.

[0081] It is considered that the sterilizer can generate steam with sterilization medium by electrolyzing a solution, and the user often forgets to add sterilization medium to the sterilizer. In this case, the sterilization effect of the sterilizer is poor, and usually only has a humidifying effect. Therefore, when it is learned that the user adds water to the sterilizer and the sterilizer changes from the water shortage state to the water level sufficient state, sterilization medium addition information can be generated to remind the user to add sterilization medium to the sterilizer. On the one hand, the sterilizer can have a sterilization effect; on the other hand, the sterilizer can synchronize the addition of water and sterilization medium, simplify the number of operations of the sterilizer, and improve the user experience.

[0082] The sterilization medium addition confirmation key is lit to remind the user to add sterilization medium, which is more intuitive and low in cost.

[0083] It is understandable that the disinfection medium can be a substance that has disinfection properties itself and / or a medium that can generate disinfection substances. For example, the disinfection medium can be a disinfectant or other soluble substance with disinfection properties; the disinfection medium can also be other media such as sodium chloride that can generate disinfection substances through electrolysis.

[0084] In some examples, the disinfectant added to the sterilizer can be salt, which is easily electrolyzed by an electrolysis module in the water tank to generate hypochlorous acid. Hypochlorous acid is an oxyacid of chlorine, with the chemical formula HClO and structural formula H-O-Cl, where chlorine has a +1 oxidation state. It exists only in solution; concentrated solutions are yellow, while dilute solutions are colorless, with a very pungent, chlorine-like odor. It is extremely unstable, a very weak acid, weaker than carbonic acid and comparable to hydrosulfuric acid. Hypochlorous acid also has a strong bleaching effect; its salts can be used as bleaching agents and disinfectants. Hypochlorous acid is mainly used as a disinfectant, widely applied to the disinfection of object surfaces, fabrics, and other contaminated items, as well as water, fruits and vegetables, and food and beverage utensils. In addition to the above uses, hypochlorous acid can also be used for the disinfection of indoor air, surfaces of secondary water supply equipment, hands, skin, and mucous membranes.

[0085] Upon receiving notification that disinfectant media has been added, it indicates that the user has completed the addition of disinfectant media. In this case, the disinfectant media addition confirmation button can be turned off.

[0086] In some examples, the disinfectant addition confirmation button can be connected to the control device of the disinfection machine. When the disinfectant addition confirmation button is pressed, the control device can generate disinfectant addition information, which means that the user has completed the addition of disinfectant.

[0087] like Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the control methods for the sterilizer include:

[0088] Step 201: Determine if the sterilizer is short of water. If yes, proceed to step 202; otherwise, proceed to step 208.

[0089] Step 202: Determine whether the continuous opening time of the door of the sterilizer is greater than the first threshold. If yes, proceed to step 203; otherwise, proceed to step 208.

[0090] Step 203: Collect water level information from the disinfection machine;

[0091] Step 204: Determine whether the water level information is greater than or equal to the second threshold. If yes, proceed to step 205; otherwise, proceed to step 208.

[0092] Step 205: Turn off the water shortage indicator light and the cleaning indicator light, and turn on the disinfectant medium addition confirmation button;

[0093] Step 206: determining whether the disinfection medium adding information is received, if yes, executing step 207, if no, executing step 205;

[0094] Step 207: turning off the water shortage prompt light, the cleaning prompt light and the disinfection medium adding confirmation key;

[0095] Step 208: turning on the water shortage prompt light and the cleaning prompt light.

[0096] By the control method provided by the embodiment of the application, the working state of the disinfection machine can be determined through the continuous opening duration of the door body, and then the user can learn the working state of the disinfection machine, and can perform corresponding operation according to the working state of the disinfection machine after learning the working state of the disinfection machine, which can remind the user to maintain the disinfection machine, so that the disinfection machine water adding and cleaning do not need to completely rely on the active intervention of the user, which is beneficial to reduce the duration of the disinfection machine in the water shortage state, beneficial to remind the user to clean the disinfection machine, and can improve the disinfection efficiency of the disinfection machine.

[0097] As shown in Figure 3 , in some examples, the control method of the disinfection machine includes:

[0098] Step 301: determining whether the disinfection machine is in a water level sufficient state, whether the disinfection medium adding information is received, if no, executing step 302, if yes, executing step 307;

[0099] Step 302: determining whether the continuous opening duration of the door body of the disinfection machine is greater than a first threshold, if yes, executing step 303, if no, executing step 308;

[0100] Step 303: collecting water level information of the disinfection machine;

[0101] Step 304: determining whether the water level information is greater than or equal to a second threshold, if yes, executing step 305, if no, executing step 308;

[0102] Step 305: turning off the water shortage prompt light and the cleaning prompt light, and turning on the disinfection medium adding confirmation key;

[0103] Step 306: determining whether the disinfection medium adding information is received, if yes, executing step 307, if no, executing step 305;

[0104] Step 307: turning off the water shortage prompt light, the cleaning prompt light and the disinfection medium adding confirmation key;

[0105] Step 308: turning on the water shortage prompt light and the cleaning prompt light.

[0106] The control method provided in this application embodiment can determine the working status of the disinfection machine by the duration of continuous door opening, thereby enabling the user to be aware of the working status of the disinfection machine. After being aware of the working status of the disinfection machine, the user can perform corresponding operations based on the working status of the disinfection machine, which can achieve the technical effect of reminding the user to maintain the disinfection machine. This makes the water addition and cleaning of the disinfection machine not entirely dependent on the user's active intervention, which helps to reduce the time the disinfection machine is in a water shortage state, helps to remind the user to clean the disinfection machine, and can improve the disinfection efficiency of the disinfection machine.

[0107] like Figure 4 As shown, according to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, a computer-readable storage medium 401 is provided, which stores a computer program to implement a control method for a sterilizer as described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0108] The computer-readable storage medium 401 provided in this application embodiment, when it is known that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, obtains the duration of continuous opening of the sterilizer door, and further determines the working state of the sterilizer based on the duration of continuous opening. Determining the working state of the sterilizer based on the duration of continuous opening of the door enables the identification of the water level and cleaning status inside the sterilizer. If the duration of continuous opening of the door is long, it can be assumed that the user has noticed the sterilizer is short of water, actively opened the sterilizer door, and operated the sterilizer. In this case, it can be assumed that the user has a high probability of adding water to the sterilizer and cleaning it. If the door remains closed after the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, or if the door remains continuously open... If the opening time is short, it can be assumed that the user has not operated the sterilizer, the sterilizer is still in a water-deficient state, and there is a high probability that the sterilizer has not been cleaned. Through the computer-readable storage medium 401 provided in this application embodiment, the working status of the sterilizer can be judged by the continuous opening time of the door, so that the user can know the working status of the sterilizer. After knowing the working status of the sterilizer, the user can perform corresponding operations based on the working status of the sterilizer, which can achieve the technical effect of reminding the user to maintain the sterilizer. This makes the water filling and cleaning of the sterilizer not entirely dependent on the user's active intervention, which helps to reduce the time the sterilizer is in a water-deficient state, helps to remind the user to clean the sterilizer, and can improve the sterilization efficiency of the sterilizer.

[0109] It can be understood that a water level sensor can be provided in the sterilizer, and the water level state of the sterilizer is obtained through the water level sensor. When the detected water level information of the water level sensor is lower than the first threshold value, it can be considered that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state. In this case, the water level information of the sterilizer does not need to be continuously detected by the water level sensor, but the opening and closing state of the door body of the sterilizer is obtained, and the continuous opening time of the door body of the sterilizer is counted. Such a setting can reduce the operation time of the water level sensor of the sterilizer, improve the service life of the water level sensor, and reduce the failure rate of the sterilizer. It can be understood that a switch detection sensor can be provided, and the continuous opening time of the door body is obtained through the switch detection sensor. The switch detection sensor can include an infrared sensor, which can sense whether the door body is away from the sterilizer body. If the door body is away from the sterilizer body, it indicates that the door body is in an open state. The continuous time that the door body is away from the sterilizer body is counted, and the continuous opening time of the door body is obtained.

[0110] It can be understood that if the continuous opening time is long, it means that the user has a high probability of operating the sterilizer. In particular, when the door body is opened, the water storage part inside the sterilizer is opened. If the continuous opening time of the door body is long, it means that the user has a high probability of adding water to the water storage part and cleaning the water storage part. Conversely, if the door body is always in a closed state or the continuous opening time of the door body is short, it means that the user has a high probability of not operating the sterilizer, and the sterilizer is still in a water shortage state.

[0111] Through the computer readable storage medium 401 provided by the embodiment of the present application, when it is known that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, the water level sensor of the sterilizer does not need to be continuously opened, and the water level information of the sterilizer does not need to be frequently collected. Instead, the continuous opening time of the door body is detected, which can greatly reduce the use frequency and working time of the water level sensor, reduce the maintenance frequency of the sterilizer, and improve the service life of the sterilizer.

[0112] Based on such understanding, the technical scheme of the present application can be embodied in the form of a software product. The software product can be stored in a non-volatile storage medium (which can be a CD-ROM, a U disk, a mobile hard disk, etc.), and includes a plurality of instructions for causing a computer device (which can be a personal computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to execute the method of each implementation scenario of the present application.

[0113] As shown in Figure 5 According to the third aspect of the embodiment of the present application, a control device 500 is provided, which includes a memory 501 storing a computer program and a processor 502 executing the computer program. When the processor 502 executes the computer program, the control method of the sterilizer according to any of the above technical solutions is implemented.

[0114] The control device 500 provided in the embodiments of the present application can obtain the continuous opening duration of the door body of the sterilizer when it is known that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, and determine the working state of the sterilizer based on the continuous opening duration. The working state of the sterilizer is determined based on the continuous opening duration of the door body, so that the water level state and the cleaning state in the sterilizer can be identified. For example, if the continuous opening duration of the door body is long, it can be considered that the user has found that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, the user has actively opened the door body of the sterilizer, and the sterilizer has been operated. In this case, it can be considered that the user has a high probability of adding water to the sterilizer, and the sterilizer has been cleaned. For example, after the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, the door body is always in a closed state, or the continuous opening duration of the door body is short. In this case, it can be considered that the user has not operated the sterilizer, and the sterilizer is still in a water shortage state, and the sterilizer has a high probability of not being cleaned. Through the control device 500 provided in the embodiments of the present application, the working state of the sterilizer can be determined based on the continuous opening duration of the door body, so that the user can know the working state of the sterilizer. After the user knows the working state of the sterilizer, the user can perform corresponding operations according to the working state of the sterilizer, which can remind the user to maintain the sterilizer, so that the water adding and cleaning of the sterilizer do not need to completely rely on the active intervention of the user, which is helpful to reduce the duration of the sterilizer in a water shortage state, remind the user to clean the sterilizer, and improve the sterilization efficiency of the sterilizer.

[0115] It can be understood that a water level sensor can be provided in the sterilizer to obtain the water level state of the sterilizer. When the water level information detected by the water level sensor is lower than the first threshold value, it can be considered that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state. In this case, the water level information of the sterilizer does not need to be detected continuously by the water level sensor, but the opening and closing state of the door body of the sterilizer is obtained, and the continuous opening duration of the door body of the sterilizer is counted. Such a setting can reduce the working duration of the water level sensor of the sterilizer, prolong the service life of the water level sensor, and reduce the failure rate of the sterilizer. It can be understood that a switch detection sensor can be provided to obtain the continuous opening duration of the door body. The switch detection sensor can include an infrared sensor, which can sense whether the door body is away from the sterilizer body. If the door body is away from the sterilizer body, it indicates that the door body is in an open state. The continuous duration of the door body away from the sterilizer body can be counted to obtain the continuous opening duration of the door body.

[0116] It can be understood that if the continuous opening duration is longer, it indicates that the user has a greater probability of operating the sterilizer, especially when the door body is opened, the water storage part inside the sterilizer is opened, and the continuous opening duration of the door body is longer, which indicates that the user has a greater probability of adding water to the water storage part and cleaning the water storage part. On the contrary, the door body is always in a closed state or the continuous opening duration of the door body is short, which indicates that the user has a great probability of not operating the sterilizer, and the sterilizer is still in a water shortage state.

[0117] Through the control device 500 provided by the embodiment of the present application, in the case that it is known that the sterilizer is in a water shortage state, the water level sensor of the sterilizer does not need to be continuously opened, and the water level information of the sterilizer does not need to be frequently collected. Instead, the continuous opening duration of the door body is detected, which can greatly reduce the use frequency and working duration of the water level sensor, can reduce the maintenance frequency of the sterilizer, and can improve the service life of the sterilizer.

[0118] In some examples, the control device 500 can also include a user interface, a network interface, a camera, a radio frequency (RF) circuit, a sensor, an audio circuit, a WI-FI module, and the like. The user interface can include a display, an input unit such as a keyboard, and the like. The optional user interface can also include a USB interface, a card reader interface, and the like. The network interface can optionally include a standard wired interface, a wireless interface (such as a WI-FI interface), and the like.

[0119] In the example embodiment, the control device 500 can also include an input / output interface and a display device, wherein the communication between each functional unit can be completed through a bus. The memory 501 stores a computer program, and the processor 502 is configured to execute the program stored in the memory 501 to execute the method in the above embodiment.

[0120] The above storage medium can also include an operating system and a network communication module. The operating system is a program for managing the hardware and software resources of the above method, supporting the running of information processing programs and other software and / or programs. The network communication module is used to realize the communication between the components in the storage medium and the communication with other hardware and software in the information processing entity device.
