Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of hair dryer technology, specifically to a hair dryer control method, a hair dryer, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Hair dryers are products that blow air and generate heat. Improper use can lead to overheating, damage, or even fire. Traditional hair dryers have a temperature sensor inside the heating element to monitor internal temperature changes and prevent overheating. However, if the hair dryer's nozzle is turned upside down, or if flammable materials (such as towels or blankets) are near the nozzle, the heat from the blower can accumulate on these items and potentially ignite them. In such cases, the internal temperature sensor may have difficulty detecting temperature changes near the nozzle in time, easily leading to a fire hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a hair dryer control method, a hair dryer, and a computer-readable storage medium that can detect temperature changes at the air outlet in a timely manner, thereby helping to avoid potential risks caused by abnormal heat accumulation at the air outlet.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a hair dryer control method. The hair dryer is equipped with a temperature detection module, which is used to detect in real time a first temperature at the air outlet and a second temperature at a location away from the air outlet. The method includes:

[0005] Obtain the first temperature and the second temperature;

[0006] The temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is compared with a temperature difference threshold to determine whether the temperature difference exceeds the temperature difference threshold.

[0007] If the result is yes, then the corresponding control operation is executed.

[0008] Optionally, performing the corresponding control operation includes:

[0009] The heating module and the blowing module of the hair dryer are controlled to stop working.

[0010] Optionally, the temperature difference threshold includes a first temperature difference threshold and a second temperature difference threshold;

[0011] When the temperature difference exceeds the first temperature difference threshold but does not exceed the second temperature difference threshold, the first control operation is executed.

[0012] When the temperature difference exceeds the second temperature difference threshold, a second control operation is performed.

[0013] Optionally, the hair dryer has different working modes, and each working mode is equipped with corresponding blowing power and heating power;

[0014] The method further includes:

[0015] Set a corresponding temperature difference threshold for each of the aforementioned working modes;

[0016] The step of comparing the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature with a temperature difference threshold includes:

[0017] The temperature difference value is compared with the temperature difference threshold in the corresponding operating mode.

[0018] Optionally, the location furthest from the air outlet is near the heating module of the hair dryer.

[0019] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0020] Compare the first temperature / second temperature with the preset temperature;

[0021] If the first temperature / second temperature is lower than the preset temperature, then increase the power of the heating module of the hair dryer;

[0022] If the first temperature / second temperature is higher than the preset temperature, the power of the heating module of the hair dryer is reduced.

[0023] To achieve the above objectives, this application also provides a hair dryer, comprising:

[0024] processor;

[0025] A memory in which executable instructions of the processor are stored;

[0026] The processor is configured to execute the hair dryer control method as described above by executing the executable instructions.

[0027] Optionally, the temperature detection module includes a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor;

[0028] The first temperature sensor is located at the air outlet, and the second temperature sensor is located away from the air outlet.

[0029] Optionally, the second temperature sensor is located near the heating module of the hair dryer.

[0030] To achieve the above objectives, this application also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the hair dryer control method as described above.

[0031] This application also provides a computer program product or computer program including computer instructions stored in a computer-readable storage medium. The processor of the hair dryer reads the computer instructions from the computer-readable storage medium and executes the computer instructions, causing the hair dryer to perform the hair dryer control method described above.

[0032] The hair dryer control method of this application obtains a first temperature at the air outlet and a second temperature at a location far from the air outlet in real time, and compares the temperature difference between the first and second temperatures with a temperature difference threshold. By judging that the temperature difference exceeds the temperature difference threshold, abnormal temperature changes at the air outlet can be detected in time, and corresponding control operations can be performed accordingly, which helps to avoid the risks that may be caused by abnormal heat accumulation at the air outlet.

[0035] Figure 3 This is a schematic block diagram of the temperature detection module in an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0036] To explain in detail the technical content, structural features, objectives and effects of this application, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This application discloses a hair dryer control method. In order to execute the hair dryer control method, the hair dryer is equipped with a temperature detection module 20, which is used to detect a first temperature at the air outlet and a second temperature at a position away from the air outlet in real time.

[0038] It should be noted that the term "air outlet location" in this application should not be interpreted narrowly. It can be understood as follows: unlike existing technologies where temperature detection modules 20 detect the temperature of a location relatively far from the air outlet (mainly the temperature near the heating module 50), which are not sensitive enough to temperature changes near the air outlet and cannot detect abnormal temperature changes in a timely manner, the "air outlet location" detected in this application is located at or closer to the air outlet, making it more sensitive to temperature changes near the air outlet and able to detect abnormal temperature changes more promptly. Specifically, the temperature detection module 20 includes a first temperature sensor 21 for detecting the temperature at the "air outlet location." More specifically, the first temperature sensor 21 can be located near the surface of the device at the air outlet, but is not limited to this.

[0039] In this application, "a location far from the air outlet" is a relative term, meaning a location less sensitive to temperature changes near the air outlet compared to the "air outlet location." When abnormal temperature changes occur near the air outlet, the temperature change at the "location far from the air outlet" is less than the temperature change at the "air outlet location." Specifically, the temperature detection module 20 includes a second temperature sensor 22 for detecting the temperature at the "location far from the air outlet." More specifically, the "location far from the air outlet" is located near the heating module 50, but is not limited to this.

[0040] The hairdryer control method of this application includes:

[0041] 101. Obtain the first temperature and the second temperature.

[0042] 102. Compare the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature with the temperature difference threshold to determine whether the temperature difference exceeds the temperature difference threshold.

[0043] Understandably, when a hair dryer is operating normally, the temperature difference between the first and second temperatures will generally remain within a fixed range, which can be used to set a temperature difference threshold. If the first temperature suddenly rises due to abnormal heating at the air outlet, the temperature difference between the first and second temperatures may exceed the temperature difference threshold. Therefore, by determining whether the temperature difference exceeds the temperature difference threshold, it can be determined whether there is an abnormal heating at the air outlet.

[0044] For example, assuming that during normal operation, the temperature difference between the second temperature and the first temperature is above 0℃ and will not normally exceed this range, then the temperature difference threshold can be set to 0℃. When using the hair dryer later, the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature can be compared with 0℃ to determine whether the temperature difference is less than 0℃ in order to judge whether there is an abnormal temperature rise at the air outlet. If the temperature difference is less than 0℃, it is highly likely that there is an abnormal temperature rise at the air outlet.

[0045] 103. If the result is yes, then perform the corresponding control operation.

[0046] If the temperature difference exceeds the temperature difference threshold, it indicates that there is likely an abnormal temperature rise at the air outlet. At this point, appropriate control measures can be implemented to help avoid accidents and other risks.

[0047] In some embodiments, performing the corresponding control operation includes stopping the heating module 50 and the blower module 60 from operating. This operation can prevent risks in many situations. For example, if the temperature rise is directly caused by heat generated by the heating module 50, stopping the heating module 50 and the blower module 60 can usually prevent the temperature from continuing to rise and causing a risk.

[0048] Of course, when the temperature difference exceeds the temperature difference threshold, the control operation performed is not limited to the operation of stopping the heating module 50 and the blower module 60 as described above; various other advantageous operations are also possible. For example, it could be simply stopping the heating module 50, issuing a warning message, or performing at least two control operations simultaneously. Furthermore, stopping the heating module 50 and the blower module 60 can be achieved by turning off the blower, or simply by stopping both the heating module 50 and the blower module 60.

[0049] In some embodiments, the temperature difference threshold includes a first temperature difference threshold and a second temperature difference threshold.

[0050] When the temperature difference exceeds the first temperature difference threshold but does not exceed the second temperature difference threshold, the first control operation is executed.

[0051] When the temperature difference exceeds the second temperature difference threshold, the second control operation is executed.

[0052] By setting different first and second temperature difference thresholds, different control actions can be set according to the severity of the problem. For example, the first temperature difference threshold can be set to 0℃ and the second temperature difference threshold can be set to -1℃. When the temperature difference exceeds 0℃ but does not exceed -1℃, a warning message can be issued, and when it exceeds -1℃, the hair dryer can be turned off.

[0053] Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the temperature difference threshold may also include a third temperature difference threshold, etc.

[0054] In some embodiments, the hair dryer has different operating modes, and each operating mode is equipped with corresponding blowing power and heating power.

[0055] The method also includes:

[0056] Set corresponding temperature difference thresholds for each working mode.

[0057] The temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is compared with a temperature difference threshold, including:

[0058] The temperature difference value is compared with the temperature difference threshold of the corresponding operating mode.

[0059] In different operating modes (such as different speed settings), the blowing power and / or heating power of a hair dryer may vary, which may cause differences in the temperature difference between the first and second temperatures. To achieve more precise control, specific temperature difference thresholds can be set for each operating mode. Of course, it is not impossible to set only one temperature difference threshold for all usage scenarios.

[0060] In some embodiments, a location away from the air outlet is near the heating module 50 of the hair dryer. Therefore, this application can effectively prevent risks caused by heat accumulation at the air outlet and facilitate accurate detection of the temperature near the heating module 50 in a timely manner, preventing the hair dryer from overheating.

[0061] In some embodiments, the control method for the hair dryer of this application further includes:

[0062] Compare the first temperature / second temperature with the preset temperature;

[0063] If the first temperature / second temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the power of the heating module 50 of the hair dryer is increased;

[0064] If the first temperature / second temperature is higher than the preset temperature, the power of the hair dryer's heating module 50 is reduced.

[0065] Specifically, when a hair dryer has multiple speed settings, different preset temperatures can be set for different speed settings.

[0066] By using the above-mentioned technical means, it is possible to avoid the hair dryer's heating level not matching the settings, which is conducive to the stable operation of the hair dryer.

[0067] The hair dryer control method of this application obtains a first temperature at the air outlet and a second temperature at a location far from the air outlet in real time, and compares the temperature difference between the first and second temperatures with a temperature difference threshold. By judging that the temperature difference exceeds the temperature difference threshold, abnormal temperature changes at the air outlet can be detected in time, and corresponding control operations can be performed accordingly, which helps to avoid the risks that may be caused by abnormal heat accumulation at the air outlet.

[0073] Specifically, the first temperature sensor 21 and the second temperature sensor 22 are directly connected to the processor 30 and send the detection information to the processor 30, but are not limited to this.

[0074] Specifically, the second temperature sensor 22 is located near the heating module 50, but is not limited to this.
