Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of air outlet and air guiding in household appliances, and particularly to an air outlet system and its air control method. Background Technology

[0002] Most current home appliances and other products have air duct systems equipped with air guide components to adjust parameters such as airflow direction and size at the vents. Existing air guide components typically achieve this effect by having the air guide plate swing left and right or up and down. While this changes the airflow direction, because the air guide plate forcibly redirects the airflow, it results in a reduction in air volume or speed. Furthermore, the resulting airflow is often harsh and not as soft and comfortable, thus reducing the user experience.

[0003] Furthermore, during the implementation of this invention, the inventors discovered that existing air-guiding systems offer only a limited range of airflow adjustment modes, allowing for adjustment in only one direction and lacking the ability to simultaneously adjust airflow in multiple directions. Consequently, they fail to meet the needs of users in various usage scenarios. Moreover, because existing air-discharge systems offer such limited and non-adjustable airflow modes, they cannot satisfy users' personalized or demonstrative needs, and they also significantly reduce the interactive effect between the product and the user. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide an air outlet system that can achieve wind deflection without reducing wind speed and provides a gentler and more comfortable airflow.

[0005] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for controlling the airflow of an air outlet system with good human-computer interaction.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve one of the above objectives is:

[0007] An air outlet system is provided, including a fan and an air duct. An air guide assembly is provided in the air duct. The airflow blown by the fan passes through the air guide assembly and is then blown out. The air guide assembly includes at least two air guide plates arranged in a row at intervals. The cross-section of the air guide plate is D-shaped. One side of the air guide plate is a planar air guide surface, and the other side of the air guide plate is an arc-shaped air guide surface. The air guide plates are positioned such that the arc-shaped air guide surface corresponds to the arc-shaped air guide surface, or the planar air guide surface corresponds to the planar air guide surface. Each air guide plate can move back and forth relative to its adjacent air guide plate in the direction of the airflow blown by the fan, so that the airflow blown by the fan is deflected after passing through the air guide assembly.

[0008] The air outlet system of this invention comprises an air guide assembly consisting of at least two D-shaped cross-section air guide plates, with adjacent air guide plates having either an arc-shaped air guide surface or a planar air guide surface corresponding to a planar air guide surface. When any air guide plate moves back and forth relative to its adjacent air guide plate in the direction of the airflow blown by the fan, the adjacent air guide plates can be staggered, thereby enabling the airflow blown by the fan to undergo self-excited deflection after passing through the air guide assembly. Due to the combination of arc-shaped and planar air guide surfaces, this self-excited deflection not only avoids a reduction in airflow or air velocity, but also produces a softer and more comfortable airflow, improving the user experience. In addition, since any air guide plate can move back and forth relative to its adjacent air guide plate in the direction of the airflow blown by the fan, the air outlet system can achieve airflow in multiple directions, thereby enabling the adjustment of multiple airflow control modes to meet the needs of customers in different scenarios.

[0009] Preferably, each of the air guide vanes is rotatable about its axis to deflect the airflow blown by the fan after passing through the air guide assembly. Rotation of the air guide vanes significantly enhances the airflow deflection and guiding effect.

[0010] Preferably, the distance the air guide plate moves is P, and the chord length of the air guide plate is Φ, where 0 < P / Φ < 1.5. Limiting the moving distance of the air guide plate ensures that the deflection and guiding effect of the air guide assembly can be achieved.

[0011] Preferably, the rotation angle of the air guide plate is θ, where 0° < θ < 15°. Limiting the rotation angle of the air guide plate ensures that the deflection and guiding effect of the enhanced air guide assembly can be achieved.

[0012] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the second objective mentioned above is as follows:

[0013] An air supply system control method, wherein the air supply system described above is used, comprising:

[0014] Users can set a custom air control mode for the air outlet system within the product's user-side APP as needed;

[0015] Custom risk control mode settings include:

[0016] Step 1: Specify the air guide plate to be set. If the specified air guide plate needs to be moved, set the distance the air guide plate moves so that the airflow blown by the fan is deflected after passing through the air guide assembly, and set the required reset time for the air guide plate to return to its initial position.

[0017] Step 2: Repeat the settings of Step 1 N times until the custom wind control mode is completed, where N≥1. In the Nth setting, the specified air guide plate can be different from the specified air guide plate in Step 1, the distance the air guide plate moves can be different from the distance the air guide plate moves in Step 1, and the reset time required for the movement of the air guide plate can be different from the reset time required for the movement of the air guide plate in Step 1.

[0018] Step 3: Users can upload the custom risk control mode from Step 2 to the APP on the user's terminal for sharing. Other users can download the custom risk control mode from the APP and evaluate it within the APP.

[0019] The air control method of the air outlet system of the present invention allows users to set various personalized custom air control modes of the air outlet system on the product user terminal as needed. Users can upload the custom air control modes to the APP in the product user terminal for sharing. Other users can download the custom air control modes from the APP in their product user terminal and evaluate the custom air control modes in their APP. This can significantly enhance the interactive effect of human-computer interaction, improve the personalization and participation of the product, and also improve the interaction and display effect between users.

[0020] Preferably, in step 1, if the specified air guide plate needs to rotate, the rotation angle of the air guide plate is set so that the airflow blown by the fan is deflected after passing through the air guide assembly, and the required reset time for the air guide plate to return to its initial position is set. By setting the rotation of the specified air guide plate, the control parameters of the custom air control mode are increased, making the custom air control mode more diversified and personalized.

[0021] Preferably, in step 1, the designated air guide plate moves into place before rotating. This effectively enhances the deflecting airflow effect of the air guide assembly.

[0022] Preferably, in step 2, in the Nth setting, the angle at which the air guide plate rotates can be different from the angle at which the air guide plate rotates in step 1, and the reset time required for the rotation of the air guide plate can be different from the reset time required for the rotation of the air guide plate in step 1. Adding control parameters to the custom risk control mode makes the custom risk control mode more diverse and personalized.

[0023] Preferably, the custom airflow control mode setting further includes setting the airflow speed of the fan. Setting the airflow speed adds control parameters to the custom airflow control mode, making it more diverse and personalized. For example, a higher airflow speed can be set for a refreshing breeze, while a lower airflow speed can be set for a gentler breeze.

[0024] Preferably, the custom wind control mode setting further includes setting the temperature of the airflow blown out by the fan. Setting the airflow temperature can regulate the temperature of the wind in the custom wind control mode, meeting the user's more diverse and personalized wind control mode needs. For example, if a refreshing wind is needed, the airflow temperature can be set lower, and if a gentle wind is needed, the airflow temperature can be set higher. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0041] An air outlet system according to this embodiment includes a fan and an air duct 7 (in Figure 4 and Figure 5 (As shown in the image), the air duct 7 is equipped with an air guide assembly. The airflow blown out by the fan passes through the air guide assembly and is then blown out. The air guide assembly includes at least two air guide plates arranged in a row at intervals, such as... Figure 1 As shown in (4a), this embodiment preferably uses four air guide plates for illustration. The four air guide plates are the first air guide plate 1, the second air guide plate 2, the third air guide plate 3 and the fourth air guide plate 4. The cross-section of all air guide plates is D-shaped. One side of all air guide plates is a planar air guide surface 5 and the other side is an arc-shaped air guide surface 6. The first air guide plate 1, the second air guide plate 2, the third air guide plate 3 and the fourth air guide plate 4 are arranged in a row longitudinally. The planar air guide surface 5 is between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2. The arc-shaped air guide surface 6 is between the second air guide plate 2 and the third air guide plate 3. The planar air guide surface 5 is between the third air guide plate 3 and the fourth air guide plate 4. Figure 1 The arrows in the image indicate the direction in which the airflow blown out by the fan is directed after being guided by the air guide assembly.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown in (4a), keeping all the initial positions of the air guide plates unchanged, the airflow blown from the fan passes through the first air guide plate 1, the second air guide plate 2, the third air guide plate 3, and the fourth air guide plate 4, and the airflow still blows forward horizontally without any deflection. This is illustrated in the flow field simulation diagram. Figure 2 As shown in (4a), the airflow is blown forward horizontally, but the simulated velocity data from the center of the flow field is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it is clear that the airflow through this air guide component has a wind speed that is significantly higher than that of the existing air conditioning structure, such as a grille structure, at the air outlet very close to the air duct 7.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown in (4b), when the second guide plate 2 is shifted forward relative to the first guide plate 1 and the fourth guide plate 4 is shifted forward relative to the third guide plate 3 in the direction of the airflow blown out by the fan, the second guide plate 2 and the fourth guide plate 4 will be longitudinally offset from the corresponding first guide plate 1 and third guide plate 3. This allows the airflow blown out by the fan to undergo self-excited downward deflection after passing through the first guide plate 1, the second guide plate 2, the third guide plate 3 and the fourth guide plate 4. The flow field simulation diagram is shown below. Figure 2 As shown in (4b), it can also be seen that the airflow blown out by this air guide component is significantly deflected downwards. This self-excited deflection not only changes the wind direction, but also, due to the organic combination of the curved air guide surface 6 and the flat air guide surface 5, avoids a reduction in airflow or velocity, and makes the blown air feel softer and more comfortable, improving the user experience. In addition, the velocity simulation data from the center of the flow field is shown in the figure below. Figure 3 As shown, it is evident that the airflow velocity through this air guide component, very close to the air outlet of duct 7, is significantly higher than that of existing air conditioning structures, such as grille structures. Furthermore, as... Figure 2 (4b) The air guide assembly, whose airflow is self-induced to flow downwards, indicates that even if the outflow is already deflected, such as Figure 3 As shown, the flow velocity at the center of the flow field is comparable to that of a conventional direct-flow air conditioning structure downstream (e.g., at 2.5m). This indicates that the self-generated flow field of the present invention can be directed to the same distance as a conventional direct-flow air conditioning structure, which proves that the present invention does not reduce the airflow volume or speed after deflecting the airflow.

[0044] and Figure 1 The air guide assembly of (4b) is similar, such as Figure 1 As shown in (4c), when the first air guide plate 1 moves forward relative to the second air guide plate 2 and the third air guide plate 3 moves forward relative to the fourth air guide plate 4 in the direction of the airflow blown out by the fan, the first air guide plate 1 and the third air guide plate 3 can be staggered longitudinally from the corresponding second air guide plate 2 and fourth air guide plate 4. This allows the airflow blown out by the fan to undergo self-excited upward deflection after passing through the first air guide plate 1, the second air guide plate 2, the third air guide plate 3 and the fourth air guide plate 4. This self-excited deflection not only changes the wind direction, but also avoids a reduction in air volume or wind speed due to the organic combination of the curved air guide surface 6 and the flat air guide surface 5. Furthermore, the airflow passing through the curved air guide surface 6 can undergo the Dacourt effect, making the blown air feel softer and more comfortable, thus improving the user experience. Figure 1 The flow field simulation diagram and velocity simulation data diagram induced by the air guide component of (4c) are consistent with... Figure 1 (4b) Similarly, it will not be elaborated here.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown in (4d), when only the fourth guide plate 4 moves forward relative to the third guide plate 3 in the direction of the airflow from the fan, while the first guide plate 1 and the second guide plate 2 remain in their initial positions, the fourth guide plate 4 can be longitudinally offset from the corresponding third guide plate 3. This allows the airflow from the fan to be divided into two parts after passing through the first guide plate 1, the second guide plate 2, the third guide plate 3, and the fourth guide plate 4. The upper part of the airflow blows directly after passing through the first guide plate 1 and the second guide plate 2, while the lower part of the airflow undergoes self-excited downward deflection after passing through the third guide plate 3 and the fourth guide plate 4. This enables the air outlet system to achieve deflection for special directions and specific needs via the air guide components, thereby meeting the usage requirements of customers in different scenarios.

[0046] and Figure 1 The air guide component (4d) is similar, such as Figure 1 As shown in (4e), when only the first guide plate 1 moves forward relative to the second guide plate 2 in the direction of the airflow from the fan, while the third guide plate 3 and the fourth guide plate 4 remain in their initial positions, the first guide plate 1 can be longitudinally offset from the corresponding second guide plate 2. This allows the airflow from the fan to be divided into two parts after passing through the first guide plate 1, the second guide plate 2, the third guide plate 3, and the fourth guide plate 4. The upper part of the airflow undergoes self-excited upward deflection after passing through the first guide plate 1 and the second guide plate 2, while the lower part of the airflow is directly blown forward after passing through the third guide plate 3 and the fourth guide plate 4. The flow field simulation diagram is shown below. Figure 2 As shown in (4e), it can also be seen that the airflow blown out by this air guide component is partly direct and partly deflected upwards. This allows the air outlet system to achieve deflected airflow in special directions and to meet the needs of customers in different scenarios.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown in (4f), when the second guide plate 2 moves forward relative to the first guide plate 1 and the third guide plate 3 moves forward relative to the fourth guide plate 4 in the direction of the airflow from the fan, the second guide plate 2 and the third guide plate 3 will be longitudinally offset from the corresponding first guide plate 1 and fourth guide plate 4. This causes the airflow from the fan to be divided into two parts. One part of the airflow is self-excitedly deflected downwards by the first guide plate 1 and the second guide plate 2, while the other part of the airflow is self-excitedly deflected upwards by the third guide plate 3 and the fourth guide plate 4. After being guided, the two parts of the airflow converge in the middle, making the airflow more concentrated and blowing farther. The flow field simulation diagram is shown below. Figure 2 As shown in (4f), the airflow blown out by this air guide component is more concentrated and travels farther. This allows the air outlet system to achieve different air control modes via the air guide component, thereby meeting the needs of customers in different scenarios.

[0048] The air outlet system of this invention can achieve different air control modes by adjusting the relative positions between adjacent air guide plates in the air guide assembly. This not only enables the airflow blown from the fan to undergo self-excited deflection after passing through the air guide assembly, but also prevents a reduction in air volume or speed, resulting in a softer and more comfortable airflow and effectively improving the user experience. In addition, this invention can also adjust different air directions, thereby achieving different air control modes and meeting the usage needs of customers in various scenarios.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, to achieve the best deflection effect, the distance each air guide plate moves relative to its adjacent air guide plate is set to P. For example, the distance the second air guide plate 2 moves relative to the first air guide plate 1 is P. The chord length of the arc surface of the air guide plate is Φ, for example, the chord length of the arc surface of the first air guide plate 1 is Φ, which means the maximum width of the first air guide plate is Φ. To achieve the deflection effect, 0 < P / Φ < 1.5. Preferably, the deflection effect is best near P / Φ = 1, and the wind speed and volume will not decrease, ensuring that it can blow far enough. In addition, the wind is also softer and more comfortable.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, to meet the usage requirements of different scenarios, such as requiring a more concentrated or uniform airflow from the air guide assembly, the size parameters of the air guide plates, the relative position parameters between the air guide plates, and the position parameters between the air guide plates and the sidewall of the air duct 7 all need to be reasonably set. In this embodiment, the maximum thickness of all air guide plates is s, the distance between the planar air guide surface 5 of the first air guide plate 1 and the planar air guide surface 5 of the second air guide plate 2 is a, the distance between the planar air guide surface 5 of the third air guide plate 3 and the planar air guide surface 5 of the fourth air guide plate 4 is also a, the distance between the vertex of the arc-shaped air guide surface 6 of the second air guide plate 2 and the vertex of the arc-shaped air guide surface of the third air guide plate 3 is h, and the distance between the vertex of the arc-shaped air guide surface 6 of the first air guide plate 1 and the fourth air guide and the inner sidewall of the air duct 7 is b. The parameters h, a, and b can be adjusted relative to s according to the scenario. For example, when the airflow needs to be more concentrated, the value of parameter h needs to be greater than the value of s. In addition, a and b can be equal to s, for example, s = 0.01m, h = 0.02m, a = b = 0.01m. When the airflow needs to be more uniform, the value of parameter h is set to be equal to s, and a and b are also equal to s, for example, s = 0.01m, h = a = b = 0.01m.

[0051] To make the airflow of the air outlet system more effectively deflected after passing through the air guide component, the rotation angle of the air guide plate can be adjusted, such as... Figure 5As shown, after the second air guide plate 2 moves forward, the plane air guide surface of the second air guide plate 2 is tilted outward and rotated by a certain angle, which is set as θ. In order to enhance the deflection air guide, 0° < θ < 15°. Preferably, when θ = 10°, the deflection air guide effect of the air guide assembly is the best, and the wind speed is also increased accordingly, so that the airflow can blow further.

[0052] In this embodiment, an air guiding assembly consisting of four longitudinally spaced air guide plates is used as an example. Of course, the air guiding assembly of the present invention can also consist of two or three longitudinally spaced air guide plates. Furthermore, the air guiding assembly of the present invention can also consist of two, three, or four transversely spaced air guide plates. The longitudinally arranged air guide plates can achieve vertical deflection of airflow, while the transversely arranged air guide plates can achieve horizontal deflection of airflow. In this embodiment, the air guide plates are moved forward in the direction of the airflow from the fan, thereby forming various deflection airflow control modes. Of course, depending on the specific installation position of the air guiding assembly within the air duct 7, various deflection airflow control modes can also be formed by controlling the air guide plates to move backward in the direction of the airflow from the fan, or by partially moving the air guide plates forward and partially moving them backward. In this embodiment, the deflection airflow effect is enhanced by first moving the air guide component to its position and then rotating it. Of course, the air guide component can also be rotated, or rotated first and then moved, etc., to achieve the same enhanced deflection airflow effect.

[0053] An air supply system control method, applicable to air conditioning products, using the aforementioned air supply system, including:

[0054] Users can set custom air control modes for the air outlet system within the product's user-side app as needed; custom air control mode settings include:

[0055] Step 1: Specify the air guide plate to be set. If the specified air guide plate needs to be moved, set the distance the air guide plate moves so that the airflow blown by the fan is deflected after passing through the air guide assembly, and set the required reset time for the air guide plate to return to its initial position. If the specified air guide plate needs to be rotated, and the specified air guide plate completes the above movement into place before rotating, set the rotation angle of the air guide plate so that the airflow blown by the fan is deflected after passing through the air guide assembly, and set the required reset time for the air guide plate to return to its initial position.

[0056] Step 2: Repeat the settings of Step 1 N times until the custom wind control mode is completed, where N≥1. In the Nth setting, the specified air guide plate can be different from the specified air guide plate in Step 1, the distance the air guide plate moves can be different from the distance the air guide plate moves in Step 1, and the reset time required for the air guide plate to move can be different from the reset time required for the air guide plate to move in Step 1; in the Nth setting, the rotation angle of the air guide plate can be different from the rotation angle of the air guide plate in Step 1, and the reset time required for the rotation of the air guide plate can be different from the reset time required for the rotation of the air guide plate in Step 1.

[0057] Step 3: Users can upload the custom risk control mode from Step 2 to the APP on the user's terminal for sharing. Other users can download the custom risk control mode from the APP and evaluate it within the APP.

[0058] The custom air control mode settings also include: setting the airflow speed and the temperature of the airflow blown by the fan.

[0059] The custom risk control mode settings also include: in step 1, setting the time required for the specified air guide plate to move into place; setting the time required for the specified air guide plate to rotate into place;

[0060] The settings for custom risk control modes also include: setting the cycle time for the custom risk control mode, and giving the custom risk control mode a custom name.

[0061] For example, if a user needs to set a custom risk control mode named "Bathing in Spring Breeze," the specific setup process is as follows:

[0062] Open the app in the product's user terminal that is compatible with the product's airflow system. The initial positions of the four airflow guides are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in (4a), the second guide vane 2 and the fourth guide vane 4 are specified to move forward, and the distance of forward movement is set to P and the time taken is set to t1. The chord length of the arc surface of the guide vane is Φ, P = Φ, t1 = 5 seconds, which is the 5th second. The relative positions of the guide vanes are as follows. Figure 1 As shown in (4b); the time for the second air guide plate 2 and the fourth air guide plate 4 to move backward and return to their initial positions is set to t2, t2 = 5 seconds, that is, at the 10th second, the second air guide plate 2 and the fourth air guide plate 4 move backward and return to their initial positions as shown in (4b). Figure 1 As shown in (4a); the first guide vane 1 and the third guide vane 3 are again instructed to move forward, and the distance of forward movement is set to P and the time taken is set to t3, where P = Φ and t3 = 5 seconds. At this time, which is the 15th second, the relative positions of the guide vanes are as follows. Figure 1As shown in (4c); the time for the first air guide plate 1 and the third air guide plate 3 to move backward and return to their initial positions is set to t4, t4 = 5 seconds, that is, at the 20th second, the first air guide plate 1 and the third air guide plate 3 move backward and return to their initial positions as shown. Figure 1 As shown in (4a). Therefore, 20 seconds is one operating cycle for the custom wind control mode of "Bathing in the Spring Breeze". This custom wind control mode repeatedly arranges and combines the air guides as shown in the diagram. Figure 1 (4a)- Figure 1 (4b)- Figure 1 (4a)- Figure 1 The cyclic pattern of (4c)-1(4a).

[0063] Furthermore, in this custom wind control mode of "Bathing in the Spring Breeze", the fan speed is set to 0.65m / s and the temperature of the airflow blown out by the fan is 25.5 degrees Celsius, making the air blown out in this wind control mode warmer, more comfortable and gentler.

[0064] Users can upload their customized risk control mode for "Bathing in the Spring Breeze" to the app's database for sharing. Other users can then download this risk control mode to their own product's client and drive the product to run the risk control mode. Finally, users can also evaluate and share their experiences with the risk control mode within the app. This significantly enhances the interactive effect of human-computer interaction, improves the product's personalization and participation, and also enhances the interaction and display effects between users.

[0065] For example, if a user needs to set up a custom risk control mode named "Riverside Breeze," the specific setup process is as follows:

[0066] When the user opens the app within the product's user client that is compatible with the product's airflow system, the initial positions of the four airflow deflectors are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in (4a), the second guide vane 2 and the fourth guide vane 4 are specified to move forward, and the distance of forward movement is set to P and the time taken is set to t1. The chord length of the arc surface of the guide vane is Φ, P = Φ, t1 = 3 seconds, which is the 3rd second. The relative positions of the guide vanes are as follows. Figure 1 As shown in (4b); the second air guide plate 2 is rotated, and the angle of outward rotation of the planar air guide surface 5 of the second air guide plate 2 is set to θ, and the rotation time is T1, where θ = 10° and T1 = 2 seconds. That is, at the 5th second, the relative position of the air guide plate is as follows. Figure 5 As shown; the time for the second air guide plate 2 to rotate and reset is set to T3, T3 = 2 seconds, that is, at the 7th second, the relative position of the air guide plate is as follows. Figure 1 As shown in (4b); the time for the second air guide plate 2 and the fourth air guide plate 4 to move backward and return to their initial positions is set to t2, t2 = 3 seconds, that is, at the 10th second, the second air guide plate 2 and the fourth air guide plate 4 move backward and return to their initial positions as shown in (4b). Figure 1 As shown in (4a). Therefore, 10 seconds is one operating cycle for the custom risk control mode of Xipan Qingfeng, which repeatedly arranges and combines the wind deflectors as shown in the diagram. Figure 1 (4a)- Figure 1 (4b)- Figures 5-1 (4b)-1(4a) loop pattern.

[0067] Furthermore, in the custom wind control mode of the Creek Breeze, the wind speed of the fan is set to 0.8 m / s, and the temperature of the airflow blown out by the fan is 26.2 degrees Celsius, making the wind blown out in this wind control mode warmer and more refreshing.

[0068] Similarly, users can upload the custom risk control mode of Xipan Qingfeng to the APP's database for sharing. Other users can then download the risk control mode of Xipan Qingfeng to their own product's user end and drive the product to run the risk control mode of Xipan Qingfeng. Finally, they can also evaluate and share their experience of using the risk control mode in the APP. This can significantly enhance the interactive effect of human-computer interaction, improve the product's personalized needs and participation, and also improve the interaction and display effect between users.

[0069] The air supply system in this embodiment not only has user-created custom air control modes, but also stores some classic air control modes in the user's APP for users to choose from.

[0070] In this embodiment, the operation settings, data upload, download, sharing, and operation of the air supply system performed in the user-end APP used in the custom risk control mode are all based on existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0071] In this embodiment, the mechanism for driving the air guide plate to move parallel is an existing drive mechanism, such as a drive cylinder, and the mechanism for driving the air guide plate to rotate is also an existing drive mechanism, such as a drive motor.
