[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, an odor purifier is provided, including an odor storage area 101, a detection device (not shown), an airflow channel 201, an odor purification device 202, and a controller (not shown).

[0054] Odor storage area 101 is used to store objects that emit odors. Odor storage area 101 is connected to airflow channel 201. Odor purification device 202 is installed in airflow channel 201.

[0055] The detection device and the odor purification device 202 are respectively connected to the controller. The detection device is used to detect the object storage status of the odor storage area 101 and send the detection result to the controller. The controller is used to control the odor purification device 202 to turn on when it is determined that there is an object stored in the odor storage area 101 based on the detection result, so as to purify the gas in the airflow channel 201.

[0056] The odor storage area 101 can store objects that emit odors or pollutants, such as food, plants, and chemicals. For ease of understanding, the following explanation will assume that the odor storage area 101 stores odor-emitting objects.

[0057] When odorous objects are stored in the odor storage area 101, the odor will not spread to the surrounding environment, but will instead flow out from the odor storage area 101 into the airflow channel 201. At this time, the detection device will send the corresponding detection result to the controller. The controller, based on the detection result, determines that odorous objects are stored in the odor storage area 101 and controls the odor purification device 202 to be activated. Since the odor purification device 202 is located inside the airflow channel 201, it purifies the gas inside the airflow channel 201, thereby eliminating the odor at the source of the odorous objects and preventing the odor from polluting the surrounding environment.

[0058] The structure of the odor purification device 202 can be configured according to actual needs. The structure and location of the detection device are not limited. For example, the detection device includes a vision detection module connected to the controller, which uses visual recognition technology to detect whether there are objects stored in the odor storage area 101. Those skilled in the art can configure the structure of the vision detection module by referring to commonly used technologies in the field, as long as the corresponding functions described above are implemented.

[0059] The aforementioned air purifier includes an odor storage area 101, a detection device, an odor purification device 202, and a controller. The odor storage area 101 is used to store objects that emit odors. The detection device is used to detect the storage status of objects in the odor storage area 101 and send the detection results to the controller. An airflow channel 201 is connected to the odor storage area 101. The odor purification device 202 is disposed within the airflow channel and connected to the controller. The controller is used to activate the odor purification device 202 when objects are stored in the odor storage area 101 to purify the gas within the airflow channel 201. Thus, by storing objects that emit odors (or pollutants) in the independent odor storage area 101 and purifying the odor-emitting gas flowing out of the odor storage area 101 within the airflow channel 201, odors (or pollutants) are prevented from escaping into the surrounding environment. This achieves purification of polluted air at the source of odor (or pollutant) emission, reducing the impact of objects emitting odors (or pollutants) on the surrounding air environment and improving air quality.

[0060] It is understandable that the connection between the odor storage area 101 and the airflow channel 201 is not unique. Figure 1 The connection method shown in the embodiment is only one possible implementation. In actual implementation, different connection methods can be flexibly selected according to the actual situation. In one embodiment, the odor storage area 101 is provided with an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet for connecting the airflow channel 201. Uncontaminated gas or purified gas in the airflow channel 201 enters the odor storage area 101 through the airflow inlet. The odor gas in the odor storage area 101 flows out to the airflow channel 201 through the airflow outlet. The odor purification device 202 in the airflow channel 201 purifies the odor gas flowing out of the odor storage area 101.

[0061] The positions of the airflow inlet and outlet can also be flexibly set. In one embodiment, the airflow inlet 102 and the airflow outlet 103 can be located on opposite sides. In another embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the airflow inlet 102 and airflow outlet 103 of the odor storage area 101 can be located on the same side of the odor storage area 101. It is understood that when the airflow inlet 102 and airflow outlet 103 are located on the same side of the odor storage area 101, an airflow blocking device 104 can also be provided in the airflow channel 201, located between the connection point of the airflow inlet 102 and the connection point of the airflow outlet 103. In this embodiment, by establishing independent airflow inlets 102 and airflow outlets 103, the ventilation effect within the odor storage area 101 is improved, thereby increasing the efficiency of purifying the odor storage area 101.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown (the dashed line indicates the direction of gas flow), the purifier also includes a conventional storage area 301, and the airflow channel 201 is connected to the conventional storage area 301. Each storage area in the odor storage area 101 and the conventional storage area 301 is provided with an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet for connecting to the airflow channel 201.

[0063] When an object is stored in the odor storage area 101, the controller controls the airflow inlet 102 and airflow outlet 103 of the odor storage area 101 to open, and controls the airflow inlet 302 and airflow outlet 303 of the regular storage area 301 to close.

[0064] The conventional storage area 301 can be used to store objects that will not pollute the surrounding air environment.

[0065] In actual implementation, the controller may also include inlet and outlet control devices for controlling the airflow inlets and outlets of each storage area. Those skilled in the art can also set it according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0066] In this embodiment, by setting airflow inlets and outlets between each storage area and the airflow channel 201, when objects are stored in the odor storage area 101, the airflow inlet 102 and airflow outlet 103 can be opened to connect the odor storage area 101 with the airflow channel 201, thereby allowing the odor purification device 202 to purify only the odor storage area 101. Simultaneously, the airflow inlet 302 and airflow outlet 303 are closed to ensure that the regular storage area 301 is promptly disconnected from the airflow channel 201, preventing odorous gases flowing into the airflow channel 201 from diffusing into the regular storage area 301 and ensuring that objects stored in the regular storage area 301 are not contaminated.

[0067] Furthermore, the controller can also shut down the odor purification device 202 after it has been activated for a preset purification time. The preset purification time can be determined by considering the volume of the odor storage area 101, the odor removal rate of the odor purification device 202, and the odor emission level of the objects stored in the odor storage area 101. The goal is to ensure that the gas quality in the airflow channel 201 and the odor storage area 101 meets the purification requirements after the preset purification time has elapsed. Therefore, by controlling the activation time of the odor purification device 202, the energy consumption of the purifier can be effectively reduced while maintaining the air quality in the airflow channel 201.

[0068] Furthermore, the detection device can also detect the storage status of objects in the conventional storage area 301 and send the detection results to the controller. The controller can also, after controlling the odor purification device 202 to start a preset purification time, control the airflow inlet 102 and airflow outlet 103 of the odor storage area 101 to close, and if the detection results determine that objects are stored in the conventional storage area 301, then control the airflow inlet 302 and airflow outlet 303 of the conventional storage area 301 to open.

[0069] In this embodiment, after a preset purification time for the odor storage area 101, the purification of the odor storage area 101 is ended by closing the airflow inlet 102 and the airflow outlet 103. Simultaneously, if the regular storage area 301 contains objects, the airflow inlet 302 and the airflow outlet 303 of the regular storage area 301 are opened to begin purification of the regular storage area 301, ensuring air quality and thus better preserving the objects within it.

[0070] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown (dashed lines indicate the direction of gas flow), the purifier also includes a storage purification device 203 disposed within the airflow channel 201, which is connected to a controller. The controller is used to activate the storage purification device 203 when an object is stored in the odor storage area 101.

[0071] The detection device is also used to detect the storage status of objects in the regular storage area 301 and send the detection results to the controller. After the controller controls the odor purification device 202 to start for a preset purification time, it controls the odor purification device 202 and the storage purification device 203 to shut down, and controls the airflow inlet 102 and airflow outlet 103 of the odor storage area 101 to close. If the detection results determine that there are objects stored in the regular storage area 301, it controls the storage purification device 203 to start, and controls the airflow inlet 302 and airflow outlet 303 of the regular storage area 301 to start.

[0072] In this embodiment, when odorous objects are stored in the odor storage area 101, both the odor purification device 202 and the storage purification device 203 are activated, simultaneously purifying the gas in the airflow channel 201. After a preset purification time, once the gas quality in the airflow channel 201 and the odor storage area 101 meets the purification requirements, purification of the odor storage area 101 is stopped, and the odor purification device 202, the storage purification device 203, the airflow inlet 102, and the airflow outlet 103 are closed. Then, the detection results sent by the detection device determine whether objects are stored in the regular storage area 301. If objects are stored in the regular storage area 301, purification is then performed on the regular storage area 301. Since the objects in the regular storage area 301 do not emit odors, only the storage purification device 203 needs to be activated to purify the air in the regular storage area 301, thus meeting the requirements. This satisfies the purification requirements of each storage area while minimizing energy consumption.

[0073] In practice, after purifying the conventional storage area 301 for a period of time, once the air quality in the conventional storage area 301 meets the requirements, the storage purification device 203, airflow inlet 302, and airflow outlet 303 can be shut down to stop the purification of the conventional storage area 301. After stopping the purification of the conventional storage area 301, the odor purification device 202, storage purification device 203, airflow inlet 102, and airflow outlet 103 can be turned on again to purify the odor storage area 101. Alternatively, the odor storage area 101 can be purified at intervals. The specific purification settings for the conventional storage area 301 and the odor storage area 101 can be adjusted according to the actual situation, as long as the air quality requirements in each storage area are met.

[0074] The specific locations of the odor purification device 202 and the storage purification device 203 in the airflow channel 201 can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the storage purification device 203 is set in the airflow channel that connects the airflow inlet 302 and the airflow outlet 303 of the conventional storage area 301, and the odor purification device 202 and the storage purification device 203 are set in the airflow channel that connects the airflow outlet 103 and the airflow inlet 101 of the odor storage area 101. This embodiment is not limited.

[0075] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown (the dashed line indicates the direction of gas flow), the purifier also includes a deodorizing storage area 401 and a storage purification device 203 disposed within the airflow channel 201. The storage purification device 203 is connected to the controller. The deodorizing storage area 401 is used to store objects that emit odors, and the odor emission level of the objects stored in the deodorizing storage area 401 is lower than that of the objects stored in the odor storage area 101.

[0076] The detection device is also used to detect the storage status of objects in the odorless storage area 401 and send the detection results to the controller. When objects are stored in the odorless storage area 401 and no objects are stored in the odorous storage area 101, the controller controls the odor purification device 202 to turn off and the storage purification device 203 to turn on; when objects are stored in the odorous storage area 101, the controller controls both the odor purification device 202 and the storage purification device 203 to turn on.

[0077] In this embodiment, both the odorless storage area 401 and the odorous storage area 101 can be used to store objects that emit odors. In actual use, the odorous storage area 101 can store objects that emit more odors than the odorless storage area 401. When the odorous storage area 101 contains an object, it is assumed that the purifier contains an object that emits a strong odor. Regardless of whether the odorless storage area 401 contains an object, the controller activates both purification devices (odor purification device 202 and storage purification device 203) to maximize the purifier's purification capacity and achieve the best purification effect, thereby preventing odorous gases from spreading to the surrounding environment and other storage areas.

[0078] When the odor storage area 101 is empty and only the mild odor storage area 401 contains an object, it is assumed that the purifier does not contain any objects that emit strong odors, but only objects that emit odors. In this case, the controller only controls the storage purification device 203 to turn on. The required purification effect can be achieved through this single purification device, thereby saving energy consumption and the wear and tear on the equipment in the odor purification device 202.

[0079] Furthermore, the odor storage area 401 is also provided with an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet 402 for connecting the airflow channel 401, such as... Figure 6As shown, when the odorless storage zone 401 contains objects and the odorous storage zone 101 is empty, the controller simultaneously shuts off the odor purification device 202 and turns on the storage purification device 203. At the same time, it also shuts off the airflow inlet 102 and outlet 103 of the odorous storage zone 101, shuts off the airflow inlet 302 and outlet 303 of the regular storage zone 301, and turns on the airflow inlet 402 and outlet 403 of the odorless storage zone 401. Therefore, by purifying the odorless storage zone 401 while shutting off the regular storage zone 301, the regular storage zone 301 is protected from contamination by odors or pollutants emitted from objects within the odorless storage zone 401. Similarly, shutting off the odorous storage zone 101 reduces the gas flow path and prevents contamination from odorous gases or pollutants emitted from objects within the odorless storage zone 401.

[0080] When objects are stored in both the odorless storage area 401 and the odorous storage area 101, the controller, while controlling the odor purification device 202 and the storage purification device 203 to turn on, also controls the airflow inlet 102 and airflow outlet 103 of the odorous storage area 101 to open, the airflow inlet 302 and airflow outlet 303 of the regular storage area 301 to close, and the airflow inlet 402 and airflow outlet 403 of the odorless storage area 401 to open, thereby preventing odorous gases or pollutants emitted by objects in the odorless storage area 401 and the odorous storage area 101 from contaminating the regular storage area 301.

[0081] When storing unstored objects in the odorless storage area 401 and storing objects in the odorous storage area 101, the controller, while controlling the odor purification device 202 and the storage purification device 203 to turn on, also controls the airflow inlet 102 and airflow outlet 103 of the odorous storage area 101 to turn on, the airflow inlet 302 and airflow outlet 303 of the regular storage area 301 to turn off, and the airflow inlet 402 and airflow outlet 403 of the odorless storage area 401 to turn off, thereby preventing odorous gases or pollutants emitted by objects in the odorous storage area 101 from contaminating the regular storage area 301.

[0082] After purifying the odor storage area 101 and / or the mild odor storage area 401 for the preset purification time, the corresponding purification devices, airflow inlets, and airflow outlets are closed. Next, based on the detection results of the detection device, it is determined whether there are any objects stored in the regular storage area 301. If there are objects stored, the storage purification device 203 is turned on again, and the airflow inlet 302 and airflow outlet 303 are controlled to purify the regular storage area 301 after both the mild odor storage area 401 and the odor storage area 101 are closed.

[0083] When neither the odor storage area 401 nor the odor storage area 101 contains any objects, the controller shuts down the odor purification device 202 and the storage purification device 203, and also shuts down the airflow inlet 102 and the airflow outlet 103, as well as the airflow inlet and the airflow outlet 402. Next, based on the detection results from the detection device, it is determined whether the regular storage area 301 contains any objects. If objects are present, the storage purification device 203 is restarted, and the airflow inlet 302 and the airflow outlet 303 are controlled to purify the regular storage area 301 after both the odor storage area 401 and the odor storage area 101 have been shut down.

[0084] In one embodiment, the storage purification device 203 is disposed in the first airflow channel of the airflow channel 201 connecting the airflow inlet 402 and the airflow outlet 403 of the odor storage area 401. The storage purification device 203 and the odor purification device 202 are disposed in the second airflow channel of the airflow channel 201 connecting the airflow inlet 102 and the airflow outlet 103 of the odor storage area 101.

[0085] The first airflow channel and the second airflow channel may overlap, as can be seen in [reference needed]. Figure 5 ,exist Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the second airflow channel includes the first airflow channel. The storage and purification device 203 is disposed within the first airflow channel. Gas flowing out of the airflow outlet 403 of the odor storage area 401 is purified by the storage and purification device 203 and then circulated to the airflow inlet 402 of the odor storage area 401. The odor purification device 202 is disposed outside the first airflow channel and inside the second airflow channel. Specifically, gas flowing out of the airflow outlet 103 is purified by the odor purification device 202, mixed with gas flowing out of the odor storage area 401, and then passes through the storage and purification device 203. The gas purified by the storage and purification device 203 passes through the airflow inlet 402 and the airflow inlet 102 in sequence.

[0086] Furthermore, the storage purification device 203 is also disposed in a third airflow channel within the airflow channel 201 connecting the airflow inlet 302 and the airflow outlet 303 of the conventional storage area 301. The third airflow channel and the first airflow channel may overlap. Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the first airflow channel includes a third airflow channel. After passing through the odor purification device 202, the gas in the airflow channel 201 passes through the airflow inlet 302, the airflow inlet 402, and the airflow inlet 102 in sequence, further ensuring the quality of the gas entering the conventional storage area 301.

[0087] In one embodiment, a conventional storage zone 301, a mild odor storage zone 401, and an odor storage zone 101 are sequentially arranged in the purifier, with an airflow channel 201 surrounding the outer periphery of each storage zone. Each storage zone in the odor storage zone 101, conventional storage zone 301, and mild odor storage zone 401 is provided with an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet for connecting to the airflow channel. The airflow inlet 302 and airflow outlet 303 of the conventional storage zone 301 are located on opposite sides. The airflow inlet 402 and airflow outlet 403 of the mild odor storage zone 401 are located on opposite sides. The airflow inlet 102 of the odor storage zone 101, the airflow inlet 402 of the mild odor storage zone 401, and the airflow inlet 302 of the conventional storage zone 301 are located on the same side.

[0088] by Figure 5 For example, the conventional storage area 301, the odorless storage area 401, and the odorous storage area 101 are arranged in a stacked manner. The airflow inlet 102 of the odorous storage area 101, the airflow inlet 402 of the odorless storage area 401, and the airflow inlet 302 of the conventional storage area 301 are all located on the same side, as are the airflow outlet 403 and the airflow outlet 303. Thus, after purification by the storage purification device 203, clean gas is obtained. The gas passes through the airflow inlet 302, the airflow inlet 402 of the odorless storage area 401, and the airflow inlet 102 of the odorous storage area 101 in sequence. Since no odorous objects are stored in the conventional storage area 301, even if gas is released from the airflow inlet 302, it will not contaminate the gas flowing into the airflow inlet 402 and the airflow inlet 102. This maximizes the cleanliness of the gas flowing into the odorless storage area 401 and the odorous storage area 101, thereby improving the purification efficiency.

[0089] It is understood that in other embodiments, the conventional storage area 301, the odorless storage area 401, and the odor storage area 101 can also be arranged in parallel in sequence, and the specific arrangement method is not limited.

[0090] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the airflow inlet 102 and airflow outlet 103 of the odor storage zone 101 are located on the same side, and the length of the airflow inlet 102 of the odor storage zone 101 is greater than the length of the airflow outlet 103. By making the length of the airflow inlet 102 of the odor storage zone 101 greater than the length of the airflow outlet 103, the gas can penetrate deeper into the interior of the odor storage zone 101 when flowing in the airflow channel 201, while simultaneously expelling more odorous gas from the interior of the odor storage zone 101, thereby improving the purification effect of the odor storage zone 101.

[0091] In actual implementation, the lengths of the airflow inlet and outlet of the conventional storage area 301 and the odor storage area 401 can be set according to needs, and are not limited in this embodiment.

[0092] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the conventional storage area 301 includes a drying and sterilization area, and a drying and sterilization device 305 is provided at the airflow inlet of the drying and sterilization area. Specifically, the drying and sterilization device 305 may include alumina drying balls to dry and sterilize the gas flowing into the drying and sterilization area, so that the objects in the drying and sterilization area are in a dry and sterile environment.

[0093] In one embodiment, the regular storage area 301 further includes a moisture-preserving area and a regular food area, with the moisture-preserving area, drying and sterilization area, regular food area, and odor storage area 101 arranged sequentially. Further, when the purifier also includes a deodorizing storage area 401, the moisture-preserving area, drying and sterilization area, regular food area, deodorizing storage area 401, and odor storage area 101 are arranged sequentially. In this embodiment, different partitions in the purifier can be used to store different types of objects, facilitating storage according to actual needs and improving the ease of use of the purifier.

[0094] In one embodiment, the odor purification device 202 includes an air pump 204 and a plasma generator 205, which are respectively connected to a controller. The air pump 204 and the plasma generator 205 are arranged in the airflow channel 201 along the gas flow direction.

[0095] It can be understood that the air pump 204 is a circulating pump that drives the gas flow, and the plasma generated by the plasma generator 205 can purify the gas in the airflow channel 201. By arranging the air pump 204 and the plasma generator 205 in the airflow channel 201 along the gas flow direction, the purification efficiency can be improved.

[0096] In one embodiment, the odor purification device 202 further includes an ozone degradation unit 206. The air pump 204, plasma generator 205, and ozone degradation unit 206 are sequentially arranged in the airflow channel 201 along the gas flow direction. Since the generation of plasma in the gas inevitably produces ozone, and high concentrations of ozone can harm the gaseous environment, the ozone degradation unit 206 can also be set up in actual implementation to degrade ozone and protect the gaseous environment. The ozone degradation unit 206 can be selected according to the actual situation, for example, an ozone degradation mesh can be used.

[0097] The structure of the storage purification device 203 can be set with reference to the odor purification device 202. Specifically, the storage purification device 203 may include an ozone degradation unit 207, a plasma generator 208 and an air pump 209. The air pump 209, plasma generator 208 and ozone degradation unit 207 are arranged sequentially in the airflow channel 201 along the gas flow direction.

[0098] The gas flow rates of air pumps 204 and 209 can be set according to the volume of each storage area and the odor removal rate requirements. For example, if the volume of the storage area is V, the gas flow rate S can be obtained according to the condition: t(min) x S = V, where t is set according to the odor removal rate requirements.

[0099] In one embodiment, the purifier may further include a display panel connected to a controller. The display panel can display the functional partition locations and storage status of each storage area under the control of the controller, so as to facilitate user operation.

[0100] The aforementioned purifier can prevent odors from spreading at the source of storage, minimizing pollution. During the purification process, it can precisely control the opening and closing of the connection between different storage areas and the airflow channel 201 according to the storage status of each storage area, simultaneously activating the corresponding purification devices to ensure purification effectiveness while improving energy utilization efficiency. Furthermore, the storage areas in this purifier are divided into multiple functional zones, sufficient to meet user needs and enhance the user experience.

[0101] In one embodiment, a control method for an air purifier is provided, which can be applied to an air purifier, and the air purifier can be configured according to the parameters of the air purifiers in the above embodiments. Specifically, as shown in... Figure 9 As shown, the control method of this purifier can be applied to the controller in the purifier, which includes the following steps 500-600.

[0102] Step 500: Receive the detection result of the object storage status in the odor storage area sent by the detection device; the odor storage area is used to store objects that emit odors.

[0103] Step 600: When it is determined from the test results that there is an object stored in the odor storage area, the odor purification device is turned on to purify the gas in the airflow channel; the airflow channel is connected to the odor storage area, and the odor purification device is installed in the airflow channel.

[0104] The control method of the aforementioned purifier, by detecting the storage status of the odor storage area, can promptly activate the odor purification device when objects emitting odors (or pollutants) are stored within the purifier. This purifies the air within the airflow channel, preventing the odor from spreading into the surrounding environment. Thus, it purifies polluted air at the source of odor emission, reducing the impact of odor-emitting objects on the surrounding air environment and improving air quality.

[0105] In one embodiment, the purifier further includes a conventional storage area, and an airflow channel is connected to the conventional storage area. Each storage area in the odor storage area and the conventional storage area is provided with an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet for connecting to the airflow channel.

[0106] The purifier's control methods also include: when there are objects stored in the odor storage area, controlling the airflow inlet and outlet of the odor storage area to open, and controlling the airflow inlet and outlet of the regular storage area to close.

[0107] In this embodiment, by controlling the opening of the airflow inlet and outlet of the odor storage area, the odor storage area can be connected to the airflow channel, thereby allowing the odor purification device to purify the odor gas flowing out of the odor storage area. Simultaneously, by controlling the closing of the airflow inlet and outlet of the regular storage area, the regular storage area can be promptly disconnected from the airflow channel, preventing odor gas flowing into the airflow channel from diffusing into the regular storage area and ensuring that objects stored in the regular storage area are not contaminated.

[0108] In one embodiment, the purifier further includes a storage purification device disposed within the airflow channel, the storage purification device being connected to the controller.

[0109] The control method of the purifier also includes: when there is an object stored in the odor storage area, controlling the storage purification device to turn on; receiving the detection result of the object storage status in the regular storage area sent by the detection device; after controlling the odor purification device to turn on for a preset purification time, controlling the odor purification device and the storage purification device to turn off, and controlling the airflow inlet and airflow outlet of the odor storage area to turn off; if it is determined from the detection result that there is an object stored in the regular storage area, controlling the storage purification device to turn on, and controlling the airflow inlet and airflow outlet of the regular storage area to turn on.

[0110] In this embodiment, when odorous objects are stored in the odor storage area, both the odor purification device and the storage purification device are activated, simultaneously purifying the gas in the airflow channel. After a preset purification time, once the gas quality in the airflow channel and the odor storage area meets the purification requirements, purification of the odor storage area is stopped, and the odor purification device, storage purification device, airflow inlet, and airflow outlet are closed. Then, the detection results sent by the detection device determine whether objects are stored in the regular storage area. If objects are stored in the regular storage area, the regular storage area is then purified. Since the objects in the regular storage area do not emit odors, only the storage purification device is needed to purify the air in the regular storage area, thus maximizing both energy consumption and purification effect.

[0111] In one embodiment, the purifier further includes a deodorizing storage area and a storage and purification device disposed within the airflow channel, the storage and purification device being connected to a controller. The deodorizing storage area is used to store objects that emit odors, and the odor emitted by the objects stored in the deodorizing storage area is less than that emitted by the objects stored in the odor storage area.

[0112] The control method of the purifier also includes: receiving the detection results of the object storage status in the odor storage area sent by the detection device; when there are objects stored in the odor storage area and no objects are stored in the odor storage area, controlling the odor purification device to turn off and the storage purification device to turn on; when there are objects stored in the odor storage area, controlling both the odor purification device and the storage purification device to turn on.

[0113] In this embodiment, both the odorless storage area and the odorous storage area can be used to store objects that emit odors. In actual use, the odorous storage area can store objects that emit stronger odors than the odorless storage area. When the odorous storage area contains an object, it is assumed that the purifier contains an object that emits a strong odor. Regardless of whether the odorless storage area contains an object, the controller will activate both purification devices to maximize the purifier's purification capacity and achieve the best purification effect, thereby preventing odorous gases from dispersing into the surrounding environment.

[0114] When the odor storage area is empty, and the odor storage area contains an object, it is assumed that the purifier does not contain any objects that emit strong odors. Instead, it only stores objects that emit odors. In this case, the controller only activates the storage purification device. The required purification effect can be achieved through this single purification device, thereby saving energy consumption and reducing wear and tear on the equipment inside the purification device.

[0115] The control method of the purifier described above can ensure that odors do not spread at the source of the stored object, minimizing pollution. During the purification process, it can precisely open and close the connection between different storage areas and airflow channels according to the storage status of each storage area, and simultaneously activate the corresponding purification devices, ensuring purification effect while improving energy utilization efficiency.
