[0035] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0036] The control method, the control device 200 and the central purification system 100, and the computer storage medium according to the embodiments of the present application are described below. Figures 1-3 The control method, the control device 200 and the central purification system 100, and the computer storage medium according to the embodiments of the present application are described below.

[0037] As shown in the figure, the central purification system 100 comprises: a central fan 20 arranged at the top end, the bottom end or the middle region of the central air duct 10, a sub-air duct 30 connecting the central air duct 10 and each floor user room, a sub-fan 40 arranged in each floor user room, and a distribution valve 50 controlling the flow area between the central air duct 10 and the sub-air duct 30. Figure 1

[0038] The central fan 20 is arranged at the top end, the bottom end or the middle region of the central air duct 10 and is used to generate a suction air flow, and the suction negative pressure generated by the suction air flow can be distributed to each floor user through the sub-air duct 30 to suck the oil fume in the indoor space to the central air duct 10 based on the negative pressure generated by the air flow of the central fan 20, and then discharged to the outdoor space after being processed, and each floor user room is provided with a sub-fan 40, and the suction force can be increased through the sub-fan 40 to improve the oil fume suction effect.

[0039] It can be understood that the central air volume provided by the central fan 20 to any floor is Qbn, and the additional air volume of the sub-fan 40 is Qa.

[0040] However, it should be pointed out that the pressure distribution uniformity of the suction negative pressure distributed by the central fan 20 to the multiple floor users is poor, the suction air flow distribution uniformity between the multiple floor users is poor, the suction air flow distributed to the floor adjacent to the central fan 20 is more, the suction force is redundant, the exhaust air volume exceeds the required air volume, resulting in resource waste and low energy efficiency, and the exhaust air volume of the floor far away from the central fan 20 cannot meet the required air volume, and the suction force and the suction air flow need to be supplemented by the sub-fan 40 to make the exhaust air volume meet the required air volume, which will also intensify the kitchen noise and affect the user's experience.

[0041] Based on this, the present application provides a control method of a central purification system 100, which can improve the distribution uniformity of the suction air flow, improve the energy efficiency of the central purification system 100, reduce the kitchen noise, and improve the user experience.

[0042] As shown in the figure, the control method of the central purification system 100 according to the embodiments of the present application comprises: Figure 3

[0043] ​​A wind demand database of each floor user of the central purification system 100 is established, and the wind demand database at least has the demand wind volume Qcn of any floor, the maximum wind volume Qsn, and Qsn=Qbn+Qa, Qsn>Qcn is always true, the rotation speed of the central fan 20 and the opening degree of the distribution valve 50 are adjusted, so that the current wind volume is Qbn, and the wind volumes of Qb1~Qbn are the same, and the wind volumes of Qc1~Qcn are the same;

[0044] If Qbn≥Qcn, the current working state is maintained to keep the wind volume stable, where n is a positive integer representing the corresponding floor.

[0045] Specifically, the wind demand database can be a database established by a deep learning model based on an LSTM model, which can learn and predict long time sequence data, so that when each floor user has the demand of sucking indoor oil fume, the current wind volume of the corresponding floor user can reach Qbn based on the wind demand database, and the current wind volume and the demand wind volume are further compared. When the current wind volume can meet the demand wind volume (i.e. Qbn≥Qcn), the suction demand can be met without increasing the wind volume, and when the current wind volume cannot meet the demand wind volume (Qbn<Qcn), the suction air flow can be supplemented by the sub-fan 40, so that the adjusted current wind volume can meet the demand wind volume, ensuring that the indoor oil fume can be completely sucked clean, and ensuring the working stability and reliability of the central purification system 100.

[0046] It should be pointed out that by controlling the distribution valve 50, the wind volumes of multiple floors are the same, the wind volume uniformity of the central fan 20 distributed to each floor is improved, local wind volume redundancy is avoided, the energy efficiency is improved, and when the suction air flow generated by the central fan 20 can meet the demand wind volume, the sub-fan 40 is not started, which can reduce the energy consumption, more users do not need to start the sub-fan 40, the kitchen noise can be improved, and the use experience can be improved.

[0047] According to the control method of the central purification system 100, by adjusting the distribution valve 50 to make the suction air flow of multiple floors provided by the central fan 20 consistent, the wind volume uniformity can be improved, local floor wind volume redundancy and other floor wind volume deficiency can be avoided, the energy efficiency of the central purification system 100 can be improved, the energy consumption can be reduced, and fewer users need to start the sub-fan, which can further reduce the energy consumption, improve the kitchen noise, and improve the use experience.

[0048] Further, the control method further comprises: if Qbn<Qcn, the sub-fan 40 is started to increase the current wind volume to the maximum wind volume Qsn.

[0049] In other words, the sub-fan 40 is only turned on to supplement the airflow when the required air volume cannot be met. The timing of turning on the sub-fan 40 is more reasonable and can ensure the stability and reliability of the fume extraction.

[0050] For example, let C1 be a first-floor resident and Cn be a top-floor resident; by default, the air volume that can meet the oil fume extraction needs of each floor resident is Qc; while the air volume of the xth floor, after being allocated by the central fan 20, is set to Qbx (that is, the air volume allocated to C1 is Qb1, the air volume allocated to C2 is Qb2, and so on); the air volume that can be increased by the indoor range hood fan (i.e., the sub-fan 40) after it is running is Qa; and the air volume of the xth floor is Qsx (that is, the air volume of C1 is Qs1, the air volume of C2 is Qs2, and so on); therefore, Qsx = Qbx + P * Qa (P is the operating state of the indoor range hood fan, which is 1 when it is working and 0 when it is off).

[0051] When a resident on the xth floor is cooking and needs fume extraction, they can activate the fume extraction mode for that floor with a single button press. At this time, the central fan 20 turns on, acquiring the airflow demand database, along with parameters such as the current floor number, the floor where the fan is running, the operating rate, and the required airflow for each floor. This information is used to determine the initial opening angle of the power distribution valve 50 for that floor and the operating frequency of the central fan 20. By default, for any floor, Qbx + Qa > Qc always holds true. However, the indoor sub-fan 40 for that floor is not running at this time, and the indoor airflow for that floor is Qbn.

[0052] Therefore, if Qbn ≥ Qcn, the central purification system 100 will continue to operate in its current state;

[0053] If Qbn < Qcn, it means that the central fan 20 alone cannot meet the smoke exhaust needs of the residents; then a command is sent to turn on the sub-fan 40 of the indoor range hood. At this time, the adjusted air volume Qsn = Qbn + Qa, and Qsn will definitely be > Qcn.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the control method further includes:

[0055] Calculate the difference Qm between the maximum air volume Qsn and the required air volume Qcn;

[0056] If Qm ≤ the first air volume threshold, then maintain the current working state;

[0057] If Qm > the first airflow threshold, then reduce the current airflow to Qs'n, where Qs'n < Qsn.

[0058] In other words, after the adjusted current air volume meets the required air volume, the difference between the maximum air volume and the required air volume is further obtained. Based on the size of the difference, it is determined whether the current air volume is too large. If the air volume is too large and exceeds the first air volume threshold, the air volume is adjusted to reduce the air volume. If it does not exceed the first air volume threshold, the air volume difference is reasonable and no adjustment is made, so that Qs'n and Qcn are as close as possible, further reducing energy consumption.

[0059] Understandably, further reducing the current air volume to Qs'n, where Qs'n < Qsn, specifically involves controlling the reduction of the central fan 20's speed; and / or controlling the reduction of the sub-fan 40's speed; and / or controlling the reduction of the opening of the distribution valve 50.

[0060] In other words, the current air volume can be reduced by adjusting the speed of the central fan 20, the speed of the sub-fan 40, or the opening of the distribution valve 50. The appropriate method can be selected according to the needs, and this invention does not impose any specific limitations.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present invention, establishing a database of air volume requirements for users on each floor of the central purification system 100 specifically involves:

[0062] Obtain data on the number of floors, the number of floors where the central air purification system is located, the number of floors where the system is in operation, the operating rate, and the required air volume for each floor.

[0063] Based on the above data, a correspondence is established between the power distribution valve opening degree of 50° and the operating frequency of the main unit.

[0064] For example, when user A turns on the machine, response parameters such as the number of floors, the floors where the machine is turned on, the operating rate, and the required air volume for each floor are obtained in real time. Adjustment values ​​are generated to match the current user A, so as to control the suction air volume generated by the central fan 20 on that floor to reach Qcn.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, the control device 200 according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: an acquisition module 210 and a control module 220, wherein the acquisition module 210 is used to acquire the current air volume; and the control module 220 is used to turn on the sub-fan 40 if Qbn < Qcn.

[0066] According to the control device 200 of the present invention, there may be multiple acquisition modules 210, and control modules 220 are configured one-to-one with sub-ducts 30 and are used to acquire the current air volume of each floor. Control modules 220 can be used at least to turn on sub-fans 40 when additional exhaust air volume is needed, so as to improve the oil fume removal effect of the central purification system 100 and make the air volume uniformity of each floor higher, thereby improving the energy consumption and energy efficiency of the central purification system 100.

[0067] Combination Figure 2and Figure 3 The control module 220 is further configured to: if Qm > the first air volume threshold, reduce the rotating speed of the central air fan 20; and / or reduce the rotating speed of the sub air fan 40; and / or reduce the opening degree of the distribution valve 50.

[0068] The central purification system 100 according to the third aspect of the present application comprises: a processor and a memory, the memory being configured to store the executable instructions of the processor; wherein the processor is configured to execute the control method in the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0069] The central purification system 100 according to the embodiments of the present application has higher energy efficiency and better user experience.

[0070] The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to the fourth aspect of the present application, for example, the memory comprising instructions, the above-mentioned instructions being executable by the processor of the control device 200 to complete the above-mentioned method. For example, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium can be a ROM, a random access memory (RAM), a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, and an optical data storage device, etc. When the instructions in the storage medium are executed by the processor of the terminal device, the central purification system 100 can execute the control method in the above-mentioned embodiments.
