[0036] The control method for bathroom centers provided in this disclosure is applied to bathroom centers. Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a bathroom center provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure from one perspective; Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a bathroom center provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 3This is a partial view of the structure of a bathroom center provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a bathroom center provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 5 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of a volute provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 6 This is a partial view of the structure of a bathroom center provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 7 This is a partial structural diagram of a bathroom center provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. (Combined with...) Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the bathroom center 1 includes a fan 111 and a housing. The housing defines an air duct 118 having an air inlet 191 and an air outlet 192. The fan 111 is located within the air duct 118 and is capable of driving airflow from the air inlet 191 to the air outlet 192 and then into the room.

[0037] Optionally, the housing includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 16. The first housing 11 is provided with a first air inlet 115. The second housing 16 is located on one side of the first housing 11 and is provided with a second air inlet 162 communicating with the outside. The first housing 11 and the second housing 16 together enclose an air intake channel 163 that connects the first air inlet 115 and the second air inlet 162.

[0038] Optionally, the bathroom center 1 also includes a drive device (not shown in the figure). The drive device is driven to the second housing 16 and can move the second housing 16 relative to the first housing 11 to change the flow area of ​​the air inlet channel 163.

[0039] The air inlet 191 includes a first air inlet 115 and a second air inlet 162. Figure 4 The middle arrow indicates the direction of airflow within the air intake channel 163.

[0040] Since the second housing 16 and the first housing 11 together form an air intake channel 163, airflow can enter the air intake channel 163 through the second air inlet 162, and then enter the air duct 118 of the first housing 11 through the first air inlet 115. The driving device drives the second housing 16 to move, which can change the flow area of ​​the air intake channel 163, change the air pressure of the airflow in the air intake channel 163, and thus change the wind speed of the bathroom center 1, increasing the diversity of airflow from the bathroom center 1 and improving the user experience.

[0041] Alternatively, the drive unit can be an electric motor, a servo motor, or a servo motor, etc.

[0042] Optionally, the first housing 11 is further provided with a first air outlet 116. The second housing 16 is further provided with a second air outlet 169 corresponding to the first air outlet 116, and the second air outlet 169 is connected to the first air outlet 116. The air outlet 192 includes the first air outlet 116 and the second air outlet 169.

[0043] After the airflow flows out through the first air outlet 116, since the second housing 16 is located on one side of the first housing 11, in order to avoid the second housing 16 blocking the air outlet 192 of the first air outlet 116, the second housing 16 needs to be provided with a second air outlet 169 that is connected to and corresponds to the first air outlet 116.

[0044] Optionally, the second air outlet 169 is annular, so that the air outlet of the bathroom center 1 is annular.

[0045] Optionally, the diameter of the second air outlet 169 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the first air outlet 116 to increase the air outlet area of ​​the bathroom center 1.

[0046] Optionally, the bathroom center 1 may also include an ambient light 18. The ambient light 18 is connected to the first housing 11 and is located at the second air outlet 169. There is a fourth gap between the ambient light 18 and the inner wall of the second air outlet 169, and the airflow from the first air outlet 116 flows out of the second air outlet 169 through the fourth gap.

[0047] When the second housing 16 moves relative to the first housing 11, the inner wall surface of the second air outlet 169 moves relative to the ambient light 18, thereby changing the flow area of ​​the fourth gap and further changing the air volume and speed of the airflow flowing out through the second air outlet 169. Figure 2 The middle arrow indicates the direction of airflow when the bathroom center exhausts air.

[0048] Optionally, the ambient light 18 is ellipsoidal.

[0049] In this embodiment, the ambient light 18 is ellipsoidal, which can guide the airflow passing through the gap. The spherical structure makes the airflow flowing out of the second air outlet 169 converge.

[0050] Optionally, when the second housing 16 is in the first position, the flow area of ​​the fourth gap is the smallest. After the airflow flows out through the fourth gap between the inner wall of the ambient light 18 and the second air outlet 169, the airflow velocity is fast and a converging jet airflow is formed along the spherical surface.

[0051] Optionally, as the second housing 16 continues to move downward to other positions (one of the second position, third position, fourth position, and fifth position), the gap of the fourth gap widens, the airflow speed slows down, and the air volume increases.

[0052] Optionally, the ambient light 18 can enable the bathroom center 1 to have a lighting function, making the bathroom center 1 multifunctional.

[0053] Optionally, the bathroom center 1 further includes a compressor 112, cold-end fins 113, and hot-end fins 114. The compressor 112 is located inside the first housing 11. The cold-end fins 113 are located inside the first housing 11 and are connected to the compressor 112 via a refrigerant pipeline. The hot-end fins 114 are located inside the first housing 11 and are connected to the compressor 112 via a refrigerant pipeline. The first housing 11 includes a bottom wall 117, and a first air outlet 116 is located in the middle of the bottom wall 117. Along the circumference of the first air outlet 116, the cold-end fins 113, the hot-end fins 114, the fan 111, and the compressor 112 are sequentially spaced on the bottom wall 117.

[0054] This configuration ensures that components such as the cold-end fin 113, hot-end fin 114, fan 111, and compressor 112 have sufficient space within the housing, and that there are gaps between each component to prevent mutual interference. In particular, the distance between the cold-end fin 113 and the hot-end fin 114 prevents heat exchange between them, thereby saving energy consumption of the bathroom center 1 and ensuring its heat exchange efficiency.

[0055] Optionally, the cold end fin 113 is located in the air duct 118, and the airflow that flows in through the first air inlet 115 flows through the cold end fin 113 and then flows out through the first air outlet 116.

[0056] In this embodiment, the airflow flowing in through the first air inlet 115 first exchanges heat with the cold end fins 113. The water vapor in the airflow liquefies on the surface of the cold end fins 113 to form condensate. After the airflow flows through the cold end fins 113, the water vapor it carries is removed. Therefore, the bathroom center 1 can dehumidify the air.

[0057] Optionally, after the airflow passes through the cold end fins 113, it can flow directly out through the first air outlet 116.

[0058] In this embodiment, the airflow in the air duct 118 can flow through the cold end fins 113 to dehumidify, then flow through the hot end fins 114 to be heated, and then flow out through the first air outlet 116. With this configuration, after the airflow is dehumidified and cooled by the cold end fins 113, the cold and hot fins can reheat the airflow, allowing it to return to the indoor temperature or higher.

[0059] Optionally, the first housing 11 further includes a volute 14. The volute 14 defines a communicating fan chamber 141 and an air outlet duct 142. The fan 111 is located within the fan chamber 141.

[0060] The air duct 118 includes a fan cavity 141 and an air outlet duct 142. The air outlet duct 142 has a first air outlet 116, a fourth gap, and a second air outlet 169.

[0061] Optionally, the flow area of ​​the air outlet duct 142 gradually increases along the flow direction of the airflow within the air outlet duct 142. Figure 5 The middle arrow indicates the direction of airflow inside the volute 14.

[0062] Optionally, the bathroom center 1 also includes a heating device 143, which is disposed in the volute 14 and located in the air outlet duct 142.

[0063] In this embodiment, the heating device 143 is located in the air outlet duct 142. The heating device 143 can heat the airflow flowing out of the fan cavity 141, so that the temperature of the airflow flowing out of the first air outlet 116 is increased.

[0064] Optionally, the heating device 143 is detachably connected to the volute 14. This facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the heating device 143.

[0065] Optionally, the heating device 143 can be a PCT (positive temperature coefficient) heating device 143, an electric heating wire, etc.

[0066] Optionally, the bathroom center 1 also includes a sterilization device 144, which is disposed inside the volute 14 and located in the air outlet duct 142.

[0067] In this embodiment, the sterilization device 144 is located inside the air outlet duct 142. The sterilization device 144 can sterilize the airflow flowing out of the fan chamber 141, so that the airflow flowing out of the first air outlet 116 is sterilized purified airflow. Therefore, by setting the sterilization device 144, the bathroom center 1 has a sterilization function.

[0068] Optionally, the sterilization device 144 is detachably connected to the volute 14 to facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the sterilization device 144.

[0069] For example, the sterilization device 144 can be a Nano (nano) negative ion sterilization device or an ultraviolet sterilization device.

[0070] Optionally, the bathroom center 1 also includes a fragrance chamber 15, which is used to house the fragrance control module. The fragrance chamber 15 is connected to the air duct 118, and the airflow in the air duct 118 can carry the fragrance in the fragrance control module into the room through the air outlet 192.

[0071] Optionally, the outlet of the fragrance chamber is connected to the air outlet 192, wherein there is a first gap between the outlet of the fragrance chamber and the air outlet 192, or the outlet of the fragrance chamber abuts against the air outlet 192.

[0072] Figure 8 This is a flowchart of a control method for a bathroom center provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. (In conjunction with...) Figure 8As shown, this disclosure provides a control method for a bathroom center, applied to the aforementioned bathroom center. The control method may include:

[0073] S81, when the user and the bathroom center are in the same bathroom, the processor determines the target operating mode of the bathroom center.

[0074] Here, the operating modes of the bathroom center may include one or more of the following: heating mode, cooling mode, dehumidification mode, drying mode, fragrance mode, and maintenance mode.

[0075] Alternatively, embodiments of this disclosure can provide various implementations for determining whether a user is in the same bathroom as the central location. Examples are given below.

[0076] In one approach, if the bathroom is equipped with an infrared sensor, the detection results from the infrared sensor can be used to determine whether the user is in the bathroom of the bathroom center.

[0077] Alternatively, if the user is wearing a smart wearable device, the location information emitted by the device can be used to determine whether the user is in the bathroom of the bathroom center. The smart wearable device can be one or more of a smartwatch, smart bracelet, smart glasses, or smart pedometer.

[0078] Since bathrooms are private environments and it is not convenient to install image acquisition devices such as cameras, the above methods can conveniently and accurately determine whether a user is in the same bathroom as the bathroom center, thereby ensuring the user's privacy and security and improving the user experience.

[0079] Optionally, the processor determines the target operating mode of the bathroom center, which may include: the processor providing an operating mode display interface, which includes multiple available operating modes of the bathroom center; when one or more of the available operating modes are selected, the processor selects one or more operating modes as the target operating mode. In this way, the user can freely operate the bathroom center and conveniently adjust its operating mode.

[0080] Understandably, the processor can pre-configure logical information that constrains the various available operating modes.

[0081] For example, the logical information could be: heating mode and cooling mode cannot run simultaneously. Correspondingly, in the operating mode display interface, heating mode and cooling mode cannot be selected at the same time.

[0082] For example, the logical information could be: Dry mode and Cooling mode cannot run simultaneously. Correspondingly, in the operating mode display interface, Dry mode and Cooling mode cannot be selected at the same time.

[0083] Optionally, the target operating mode can be selected in various ways according to the embodiments of this disclosure, as illustrated below.

[0084] In one approach, if the bathroom center is equipped with a terminal device for controlling its operation, the operating mode display interface can be shown on the terminal device. Users can select the target operating mode by operating the terminal device. For example, users can select the target operating mode on the operating mode display interface through manual or voice operation of the terminal device. This method of selecting the target operating mode by operating the terminal device is low-cost and consumes less energy.

[0085] Alternatively, if the bathroom center is equipped with a touchscreen, users can manually select the desired operating mode directly from the display screen's interface. This method of selecting the target operating mode via the touchscreen is simple, intuitive, and responsive.

[0086] Optionally, the multiple available operating modes include an environmental control mode for adjusting the bathroom environment. Correspondingly, determining the target operating mode for the bathroom center may further include: the processor obtaining bathroom environmental parameters; and the processor determining the target operating mode from the environmental control modes based on the bathroom environmental parameters. In this way, the bathroom center can be automatically and intelligently controlled according to the bathroom environmental parameters, thereby reducing the user's operational complexity and ensuring a better user experience.

[0087] Here, bathroom environmental parameters may include one or more of the following: bathroom temperature, bathroom humidity, bathroom odor, and bathroom air pollutants. Correspondingly, bathroom temperature can be obtained using a temperature sensor. Bathroom humidity can be obtained using a humidity sensor. Bathroom odor can be obtained using an odor sensor. Bathroom air pollutants can be obtained using an air quality sensor.

[0088] Taking the acquisition of bathroom temperature as an example, the bathroom can be equipped with one or more temperature sensors to accurately and conveniently detect the bathroom temperature.

[0089] Furthermore, if temperature sensors are installed at different locations in the bathroom, the bathroom temperature can be represented as the maximum or minimum value among the detection values ​​of multiple temperature sensors. Alternatively, the bathroom temperature can be represented as the average value of the detection values ​​of multiple temperature sensors. Since the temperature values ​​at different locations may differ, a more accurate bathroom temperature can be obtained in this way. Alternatively, the bathroom temperature can be represented as a weighted average of the detection values ​​of multiple temperature sensors. Here, different weights are assigned to the multiple temperature sensors. By setting weights, the level of intelligence of the bathroom center can be further improved. Correspondingly, the weights of each of the multiple temperature sensors can be set according to various criteria, such as the distance between the multiple temperature sensors and the bathroom air inlet and outlet, the detection accuracy of the multiple temperature sensors, the detection frequency of the multiple temperature sensors, etc. This disclosure embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0090] Furthermore, the acquisition of bathroom humidity, bathroom odor, and bathroom air pollutants in this embodiment can refer to the above-described bathroom temperature detection process, which will not be repeated here.

[0091] Optionally, the processor determines the target operating mode based on bathroom environmental parameters, which may include: if the bathroom temperature is less than or equal to a first temperature threshold, the processor determines the target operating mode as a heating mode; if the bathroom temperature is greater than or equal to a second temperature threshold, the processor determines the target operating mode as a cooling mode; and if the bathroom humidity is greater than or equal to a humidity threshold, the processor determines the target operating mode as a dehumidification mode. In this way, the bathroom center can be automatically and intelligently controlled, effectively regulating the bathroom environment and ensuring a good user experience.

[0092] Here, the first temperature threshold can be set to 23℃. The second temperature threshold can be set to 28℃. The humidity threshold can be set to 85%.

[0093] Optionally, the processor determines the target operating mode based on bathroom environmental parameters. This may further include setting the operating mode to fragrance mode if the bathroom gas concentration is greater than or equal to a gas concentration threshold. This effectively purifies and deodorizes the bathroom air, improving the user experience.

[0094] The gases in a bathroom can be irritating gases produced by chemical reactions of compounds containing elements such as sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen.

[0095] Here, the gas concentration threshold can be set to 5 ppm (parts per million).

[0096] S82, the processor controls the movement of the second housing relative to the first housing according to the target operating mode, so as to adjust the flow area of ​​the fourth gap.

[0097] Optionally, the processor controls the movement of the second housing relative to the first housing according to the target operating mode, which may include: when the target operating mode is a drying mode, the processor controls the second housing to move to a first position relative to the first housing; when the target operating mode is a cooling mode, the processor controls the second housing to move to a second position relative to the first housing; when the target operating mode is a heating mode, the processor controls the second housing to move to a third position relative to the first housing; when the target operating mode is a dehumidification mode, the processor controls the second housing to move to a fourth position relative to the first housing; when the target operating mode is a maintenance mode, the processor controls the second housing to move to a fifth position relative to the first housing; wherein the distance between the first position and the first housing is less than the distance between the second position and the first housing, the distance between the second position and the first housing is less than the distance between the third position and the first housing, the distance between the third position and the first housing is less than the distance between the fourth position and the first housing, and the distance between the fourth position and the first housing is less than the distance between the fifth position and the first housing.

[0098] As the second housing of the bathroom center moves relative to the first housing, the inner wall of the second air outlet moves relative to the ambient light. Therefore, by changing the relative position between the second housing and the first housing, the flow area of ​​the fourth gap between the ambient light and the inner wall of the second air outlet can be changed, thereby changing the air outlet area of ​​the bathroom center and realizing the switching of the bathroom center's operating mode.

[0099] Specifically, the distance between the first position and the first housing can be the closest position to the first housing within the set movement range of the second housing. For example, the distance between the first position and the first housing is 0. Since the smaller the distance between the second housing and the first housing, the smaller the flow area of ​​the fourth gap, the airflow can form a converging jet of air along the surface of the ellipsoidal ambient light after flowing out of the fourth gap. Therefore, by setting the first position in this way, the converging jet of air can be used to achieve a drying mode, that is, to dry the user's body by converging the downward-blown airflow.

[0100] The distance between the second position and the first housing can be 10mm. Since the air outlet temperature in the heated room mode is high, the hot airflow from the center of the bathroom cannot quickly reach the ground. Therefore, this second position setting increases the airflow by increasing the fourth gap, and also utilizes the surface of the ellipsoidal ambient light to guide the hot airflow to the ground more quickly, thereby rapidly raising the bathroom temperature.

[0101] The distance between the third position and the first housing can be 20mm. Since the air outlet temperature of the air conditioning room is relatively high, the cooler airflow from the bathroom center can quickly reach the ground. Therefore, this third position setting prevents the cooler airflow from reaching the ground quickly via the surface of the ellipsoidal ambient light, thus avoiding direct cold air blowing on the user and causing discomfort.

[0102] The distance between the fourth position and the first housing can be 25mm. Since the second housing, when moving relative to the first housing, can change the flow area of ​​the air intake channel jointly enclosed by the first and second housings, thus changing the air intake volume, this fourth position configuration increases the area of ​​the air intake channel, i.e., increases the air intake volume, allowing humid airflow to quickly enter the bathroom center for drying, thereby rapidly reducing bathroom humidity.

[0103] The distance between the fifth position and the first housing can be the furthest position from the first housing within the set movement range of the second housing. For example, the distance between the first position and the first housing is 100mm. This allows users to easily disassemble and assemble the second housing for maintenance and replacement of consumables in the bathroom center.

[0104] Furthermore, since the fragrance chamber is directly connected to the air duct, the airflow in the air duct can carry the fragrance in the fragrance chamber into the room through the air outlet. Therefore, when the target operating mode is fragrance mode, the processor can control the second housing to move relative to the first housing to any position within the set movement range of the second housing.

[0105] Alternatively, the processor can determine the movement position of the second housing relative to the first housing in fragrance mode based on the bathroom gas concentration. For example, when the bathroom gas concentration is greater than or equal to a gas concentration threshold but less than a first gas concentration, the processor controls the second housing to move to a first or second position relative to the first housing; when the bathroom gas concentration is greater than or equal to the first gas concentration but less than the second gas concentration, the processor controls the second housing to move to a third or fourth position relative to the first housing. Thus, the higher the bathroom gas concentration, the greater the distance between the second and first housings, resulting in a larger air intake and exhaust volume, thereby quickly purifying the air and achieving a fragrance effect, thus ensuring a better user experience.

[0106] In summary, the control method for a bathroom center provided in this embodiment allows for the movement of the second housing relative to the first housing of the bathroom center relative to the user's bathroom center when the user and the bathroom center are in the same bathroom, based on the target operating mode of the bathroom center. This adjusts the flow area of ​​the fourth air-venting gap, thereby regulating the airflow of the bathroom center. Compared with existing technologies, this ensures a better user experience in the bathroom and improves the intelligence level of the bathroom center.

[0107] Figure 9 This is a flowchart of a control method for a bathroom center provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. (In conjunction with...) Figure 9 As shown, this disclosure provides a control method for a bathroom center, applied to the aforementioned bathroom center. The control method may include:

[0108] S81, when the user and the bathroom center are in the same bathroom, the processor determines the target operating mode of the bathroom center.

[0109] S82, the processor controls the movement of the second housing relative to the first housing according to the target operating mode, so as to adjust the flow area of ​​the fourth gap.

[0110] S91: When the user leaves the bathroom, the processor controls the sterilization device to turn on.

[0111] Alternatively, embodiments of this disclosure can provide various implementations for determining when a user leaves the bathroom. Examples are given below.

[0112] In one approach, if the bathroom is equipped with an infrared sensor, the user's departure status can be determined based on the sensor's detection results.

[0113] Alternatively, if the user is wearing a smart wearable device, the location information emitted by the smart wearable device can be used to determine whether the user has left the bathroom.

[0114] Since bathrooms are private environments and it is not convenient to install image acquisition devices such as cameras, the above methods can conveniently and accurately determine whether a user has left the bathroom, thereby ensuring the user's privacy and security and improving the user experience.

[0115] In summary, the control method for a bathroom center provided in this disclosure allows for the movement of the second housing relative to the first housing of the bathroom center relative to the user's bathroom center when the user and the bathroom center are in the same bathroom, based on the target operating mode of the bathroom center. This adjusts the flow area of ​​the fourth air-venting gap, thereby regulating the airflow of the bathroom center. Compared to existing technologies, this ensures a better user experience in the bathroom and improves the intelligence level of the bathroom center. Furthermore, sterilization of the bathroom after the user leaves ensures its cleanliness. Simultaneously, it avoids harm to the human body from the sterilization device, guaranteeing the user's experience and health.

[0117] The control device for a bathroom center provided in this embodiment allows for the movement of the second housing relative to the first housing of the bathroom center relative to the user's bathroom center when the user and the bathroom center are in the same bathroom, based on the bathroom center's target operating mode. This adjusts the flow area of ​​the fourth air-venting gap, thereby regulating the airflow of the bathroom center. Compared to existing technologies, this ensures a better user experience in the bathroom and improves the overall intelligence of the bathroom center.
