Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dehumidifier technology, and in particular to a control method, device, medium, electronic equipment, and dehumidifier. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, dehumidifiers typically have small holes near their detection plates to detect humidity levels in the air. However, the air also carries some dust. After the dehumidifier has been running for a while, a lot of dust accumulates on the detection head of the plate, causing it to become clogged. This results in large deviations in the detected ambient temperature and humidity, preventing the dehumidifier from effectively starting and stopping according to the set humidity, displaying an inaccurate temperature, and affecting some functions that rely on temperature parameters. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a control method, device, medium, electronic device, and dehumidifier to solve the technical problem in the prior art where the detection head of the dehumidifier becomes clogged with dust after running for a period of time, causing the dehumidifier's performance to decline or fail.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a dust control method for a dehumidifier, comprising:

[0006] Preset standard running time T;

[0007] Obtain the device's cumulative operating time, Ta;

[0008] The accumulated operating time Ta of the equipment is compared with the standard operating time T.

[0009] When the cumulative operating time Ta of the equipment is greater than or equal to the standard operating time T, switch to soot blowing mode;

[0010] When the cumulative running time Ta of the equipment is less than the standard running time T, the control equipment continues to operate in the original mode.

[0011] Furthermore, the cumulative operating time Ta is the operating time for PM2.5 detection concentration, or the total operating time of the equipment startup; the standard operating time T is the standard operating time for different PM2.5 concentrations, or the total standard operating time of the equipment.

[0012] Furthermore, the switching of the soot blowing mode includes:

[0013] Open the baffle;

[0014] Turn the fan on to the highest speed setting to blow away ash.

[0015] Furthermore, the switching of the soot blowing mode also includes:

[0016] After the control fan is turned on to the high-power mode and the set soot blowing time Tb is completed, the damper is closed.

[0017] Exit the soot blowing mode and reset the device's accumulated running time Ta to zero;

[0018] Return to the original mode.

[0019] Furthermore, when the cumulative operating time Ta is the operating time for PM2.5 detection concentration, the standard operating time T includes the total standard operating time Tx for low, medium and high concentrations, the total standard operating time Ty for medium and high concentrations, and the total standard operating time for high concentrations; when the cumulative operating time Ta exceeds any of Tx, Ty and Tz, the device switches to the soot blowing mode.

[0020] Furthermore, the total standard operating time Tx for low, medium, and high concentrations, the total standard operating time Ty for medium and high concentrations, and the total standard operating time for high concentrations are calculated using the following formula:

[0021] Tx = T1 + T2 + T3;

[0022] Ty = T2 + T3;

[0023] Tz = T3;

[0024] Wherein, T1 is the standard operating time for low concentration; T2 is the standard operating time for medium concentration; and T3 is the standard operating time for high concentration.

[0025] Furthermore, the standard operating time T1 for low concentration, T2 for medium concentration, and T3 for high concentration are calculated using the following formula:

[0026] T1 = 4N; T2 = 2N; T3 = N; where N is a preset time length.

[0027] The dust removal control method for dehumidifiers provided by this invention sets dust removal conditions through a control logic. When the dehumidifier reaches the dust removal conditions, the dust removal mode is activated to clean the dust on the detection board in a timely manner, effectively improving the temperature and humidity detection accuracy and lifespan of the dehumidifier's detection board and ensuring normal machine operation.

[0028] Secondly, the present invention provides a control device comprising:

[0029] The preset module is used to preset the standard running time T;

[0030] The acquisition module is used to obtain the device's cumulative running time Ta;

[0031] The comparison module is used to compare the acquired cumulative device running time Ta with the standard running time T.

[0032] The control module is used to control the equipment to continue operating in the original mode or switch to the soot blowing mode based on the comparison results.

[0033] Thirdly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, is capable of executing the method.

[0034] Fourthly, the present invention provides an electronic device comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the method through the computer program.

[0035] Fifthly, the present invention provides a dehumidifier for performing the method.

[0036] Furthermore, the dehumidifier includes a detection plate, a dust blowing channel, a baffle assembly, and a cover plate; the dust blowing channel is opened inside the cover plate, with one end connected to the cavity where the detection plate is installed and the other end connected to the air duct of the dehumidifier; the baffle assembly is installed in the dust blowing channel in an openable and closable manner so that when opened, the strong air in the air duct can be used to blow dust off the detection plate.

[0037] Furthermore, the baffle assembly includes a baffle, a guide rail, a drive component, and a gear and rack transmission assembly; the guide rail is disposed on the cover plate, the baffle is slidably mounted within the guide rail, the drive component is mounted on the cover plate, and the baffle is connected to the drive component via the gear and rack transmission assembly.

[0038] Furthermore, the baffle assembly also includes a limiting rib, which is disposed on the top of the baffle to limit the lifting height of the baffle.

[0039] The dehumidifier provided by this invention features an independent channel with a detection board placed at one end. A baffle is installed within the independent channel, which can be opened via gears to connect the detection board to the fan. Utilizing the principle of a vacuum cleaner, dust from the detection head of the detection board is removed, ensuring detection accuracy while reducing sensor clogging and extending its lifespan. This solves the problem of poor accuracy in detecting ambient temperature and humidity due to clogging during dehumidifier use. Attached Figure Description

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0054] like Figure 11 As shown, the present invention provides a dust control method for a dehumidifier, comprising:

[0055] The dehumidifier is powered on and turned on.

[0056] The dehumidifier starts normal dehumidification (original mode) operation; the PM2.5 detection module starts detecting environmental parameters; of course, PM2.5 concentration monitoring can also be canceled, and the dust collection mode can be controlled directly by the whole machine running time;

[0057] Set a standard operating time T in the dehumidifier; it should be noted that the standard operating time T is a preset fixed value, which can be selected and set according to the actual situation.

[0058] Obtain the cumulative operating time Ta of the equipment; it should be noted that the cumulative operating time Ta is the sum of the time the dehumidifier runs under various PM2.5 concentrations, that is, the operating time at the PM2.5 detection concentration, or the total operating time of the equipment; the standard operating time T is the standard operating time at different PM2.5 concentrations, or the total standard operating time of the equipment.

[0059] The accumulated operating time Ta of the equipment is compared with the standard operating time T.

[0060] Based on the comparison results, the dehumidifier is controlled to continue operating in the original mode or switch to the soot blowing mode.

[0061] It should be noted here that the original mode refers to the dehumidification mode that the dehumidifier was in before the comparison was performed.

[0062] The dust removal control method for dehumidifiers provided by this invention sets dust removal conditions through a control logic. When the dehumidifier reaches the dust removal conditions, the dust removal mode is activated to clean the dust on the detection board in a timely manner, effectively improving the temperature and humidity detection accuracy and lifespan of the dehumidifier's detection board and ensuring normal machine operation.

[0063] Furthermore, based on the comparison results, the dehumidifier is controlled to continue operating in the original mode or switch to the soot blowing mode, including:

[0064] When the cumulative running time Ta of the dehumidifier is less than the standard running time T, the dehumidifier will continue to run in the original mode.

[0065] When the cumulative running time Ta of the dehumidifier is greater than or equal to the standard running time T, switch to soot blowing mode;

[0066] The control steps for the soot blowing mode include:

[0067] Open baffle 6;

[0068] Control the blower 10 to operate at the highest wind speed for soot blowing; after the set soot blowing time Tb, close the baffle 6.

[0069] Exit the dust blowing mode and reset the dehumidifier's accumulated running time Ta to zero;

[0070] Return to the original mode.

[0071] It should be noted here that the super strong wind setting of the fan 10 is also the maximum wind setting of the fan 10.

[0072] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the cumulative running time Ta is the running time of PM2.5 detection concentration, the standard running time T includes the total standard running time Tx for low, medium and high concentrations, the total standard running time Ty for medium and high concentrations, and the total standard running time for high concentrations; when the cumulative running time Ta of the dehumidifier exceeds any of Tx, Ty and Tz, it switches to the dust blowing mode.

[0073] Furthermore, the total standard operating time Tx for low, medium, and high concentrations, the total standard operating time Ty for medium and high concentrations, and the total standard operating time for high concentrations are calculated using the following formulas:

[0074] Tx = T1 + T2 + T3;

[0075] Ty = T2 + T3;

[0076] Tz = T3;

[0077] Wherein, T1 is the standard operating time for low concentration; T2 is the standard operating time for medium concentration; and T3 is the standard operating time for high concentration.

[0078] Furthermore, the standard operating time T1 for low concentration, T2 for medium concentration, and T3 for high concentration are calculated using the following formula:

[0079] T1 = 4N; T2 = 2N; T3 = N; where N is a preset time length.

[0080] This invention provides a control device, comprising:

[0081] The preset module is used to preset the standard running time T;

[0082] The acquisition module is used to obtain the device's cumulative running time Ta;

[0083] The comparison module is used to compare the acquired cumulative device running time Ta with the standard running time T.

[0084] The control module is used to control the equipment to continue operating in the original mode or switch to the soot blowing mode based on the comparison results.

[0085] It should be noted that the above modules can be functional modules or program modules, and can be implemented through software or hardware. For modules implemented through hardware, the above modules can reside in the same processor; or the above modules can be located in different processors in any combination.

[0086] This invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program. When executed by a processor, the computer program can perform the various processes of the aforementioned dehumidifier dust removal control method embodiments and achieve the same technical effects. To avoid repetition, these processes will not be described again here. The computer-readable storage medium may be a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic disk, or an optical disk.

[0087] The present invention provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. The processor executes the above-described dehumidifier dust removal control method through the computer program.

[0088] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the present invention provides a dehumidifier for performing the above-described dehumidifier dust removal control method.

[0089] like Figures 6-10 As shown, the dehumidifier further includes a detection plate 2, a dust blowing channel 3.2, a baffle assembly, and a cover plate 3. The dust blowing channel 3.2 is located within the cover plate 3, with one end connected to the cavity where the detection plate 2 is installed, and the other end connected to the dehumidifier's air duct. The baffle assembly is closable and installed within the dust blowing channel 3.2, so that when opened, the strong airflow within the air duct blows dust off the detection plate. It should be noted that the baffle assembly can open relative to the dust blowing channel 3.2 by means of translation, rotation, or other methods.

[0090] This invention provides an independent dust blowing channel 3.2 between the detection plate 2 and the air duct. A baffle 6 is installed inside the dust blowing channel 3.2. The dust blowing channel 3.2 can be closed and connected by opening and closing the baffle 6. The dehumidifier is equipped with a dust removal mode logic. When the dehumidifier reaches the dust removal condition, the baffle 6 opens, and the dust blowing channel 3.2 is connected to the air duct. The fan 10 can suck away the dust on the detection plate 2 by rotating, thereby achieving the purpose of dust removal of the detection plate 2, improving detection accuracy and service life.

[0091] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it should be noted that the detection board 2 is installed inside the rear air inlet 1.1 of the rear plate 1, so as to realize the parameter detection of the detection board 2 by using the air inlet 1.1 of the rear plate.

[0092] This embodiment illustrates a translational opening method, specifically:

[0093] Furthermore, the baffle assembly includes a baffle 6, a guide rail 3.5, a drive component, and a gear and rack transmission assembly; the guide rail 3.5 is disposed on the cover plate 3, the baffle 6 is slidably mounted inside the guide rail 3.5, the drive component is mounted on the cover plate 3, and the baffle 6 is connected to the drive component through the gear and rack transmission assembly.

[0094] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the driving component is a motor 4, and the gear and rack assembly includes a gear 5 and a rack 6.1; the gear 5 is fixed on the output shaft of the motor 4, and the rack 6.1 is disposed at one end of the baffle 6.

[0095] Furthermore, the baffle assembly also includes a limiting rib 3.4, which is disposed on the top of the baffle 6 to limit the lifting height of the baffle 6. Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting rib 3.4 is positioned after the baffle 6 has fully opened the dust blowing channel 3.2; that is, when the baffle 6 has fully opened the dust blowing channel 3.2, its top end is exactly in contact with the limiting rib 3.4, thereby achieving stroke limitation.

[0096] The dehumidifier provided by this invention features an independent channel with a detection board placed at one end. A baffle is installed within the independent channel, which can be opened via gears to connect the detection board to the fan. Utilizing the principle of a vacuum cleaner, dust from the detection head of the detection board is removed, ensuring detection accuracy while reducing sensor clogging and extending its lifespan. This solves the problem of poor accuracy in detecting ambient temperature and humidity due to clogging during dehumidifier use.

[0097] like Figures 2-10As shown, the dehumidifier provided by this invention is a dehumidifier that can improve detection accuracy and automatically remove dust. The dehumidifier mainly includes the following components: a rear plate 1, a rear plate air inlet 1.1, a detection plate 2, a cover plate 3, an air intake 3.1, a dust blowing channel 3.2, an air inlet 3.3, a limiting rib 3.4, a guide rail 3.5, a motor 4, a gear 5, a baffle 6, a rack 6.1, a top cover 7, an air outlet 7.1, a guide plate 8, a water receiving tray 9, and a fan 10. The rear plate 1 is designed with a rear plate air inlet 1.1, through which ambient air can enter near the detection plate 2, and the temperature and humidity are detected by the detection plate 2. The cover plate 3 is provided with a dust blowing channel 3.2, which can connect the detection plate 2 and the air duct. The fan 10 rotates to generate suction to remove dust from the detection plate 2.

[0098] like Figures 4-9 As shown, the cover plate 3 is provided with a dust blowing channel 3.2, an air inlet 3.3, a limiting rib 3.4, and a guide rail 3.5. A motor 4 is mounted on the cover plate 3, and a gear 5 is mounted on the shaft of the motor 4. A baffle 6 is mounted on the guide rail 3.5 of the cover plate 3. Figure 10 As shown, a rack 6.1 is provided on one side of the baffle 6. When the dehumidifier receives a dust suction command, the gear 5 rotates, causing the baffle 6 to move upward. After the upper end of the baffle 6 contacts the limiting rib 3.4, the gear 5 stops rotating, and the dust blowing channel 3.2 connects with the air duct. Figure 8 As shown), the suction force generated by the fan 10 in the air duct is used for dust removal. After the dust removal is completed, the motor 4 rotates in the reverse direction, driving the baffle 6 to move downward. The lower end of the baffle 6 contacts the lower end of the dust blowing channel 3.2, and the dust blowing channel 3.2 is closed. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the air duct in the detection board 2 and the water tray 9 are not connected, and the dehumidifier is working normally.

[0099] like Figure 2 As shown, the water receiving tray 9 is equipped with an air duct and a motor assembly structure. The motor is mounted on the water receiving tray 9, and a fan 10 is mounted on the motor shaft. When the baffle 6 on the cover plate 3 is opened, and the dust blowing channel 3.2 is connected to the air duct of the water receiving tray 9, the fan 10 generates a strong suction force to remove dust.

[0100] The dehumidifier has an air inlet 3.3, an air outlet 7.1, and a rear air inlet 1.1 on its exterior. Internally, it mainly consists of two heat exchangers, a compressor, and an air duct, forming a complete dehumidifier system. The detection board 2 is located near the rear air inlet 1.1. When the machine is turned on, the negative pressure in the air duct creates airflow that passes through the detection board 2, enabling real-time monitoring of the ambient temperature and humidity to ensure accurate machine operation.

[0101] How to use a dehumidifier:

[0102] When the total cumulative running time Ta is less than the standard running time T, the baffle 6 is in the closed state (see...). Figure 6The machine operates normally; when the total cumulative running time Ta ≥ standard running time T, the program immediately enters the dust suction mode, motor 4 starts, driving gear 5 to rotate. Gear 5 engages with rack 6.1, driving baffle 6 to move upward. Baffle 6 slowly opens along guide rail 3.5 on cover plate 3. When baffle 6 contacts the limiting rib 3.4 on cover plate 3 (see...), the machine continues to operate normally. Figure 8 At that time, baffle 6 was already fully open (see...). Figure 9 Afterwards, the entire machine immediately activates its high-power mode, and the fan 10 inside the air duct rotates, generating a strong suction force. Air outside the rear panel air inlet 1.1 is subjected to this strong internal suction, and as it enters through the rear panel air inlet 1.1, the airflow is rapid, blowing onto the detection plate 2 and directly lifting the dust on it. The dust is then drawn into the channel through the suction port 3.1, passes through channel 3.2, and is then drawn into the air duct through the air inlet 3.3, finally being discharged through the air outlet 7.1 of the top cover 7. After running at high speed for Tb time, the dust accumulation on the detection plate 2 decreases, the machine exits the high-speed mode, the motor 4 starts, and drives the gear 5 to rotate in the opposite direction again. The gear 5 drives the baffle 6 to move down, and the baffle 6 slowly closes along the guide rail 3.5 on the cover plate 3. When the baffle 6 contacts the bottom of the guide rail 3.5 on the cover plate 3, the baffle 6 is completely closed; the dust suction mode is exited, and the original mode is returned. After the accumulated running time Ta is reset to zero, the machine is turned on normally and enters the next accumulated running time Ta of the dust suction mode.

[0103] The total cumulative operating time Ta is defined as Tx, Ty, and Tz, where Tx = T1 + T2 + T3; Ty = T2 + T3; and Tz = T3. Specifically, T1 = 4N, T2 = 2N, and T3 = N. T1 is the standard operating time for low concentration (when PM2.5 concentration is low), T2 is the standard operating time for medium concentration (when PM2.5 concentration is medium), and T3 is the standard operating time for high concentration (when PM2.5 concentration is high). Meeting any of these three timeframes will trigger the dust collection mode, using high airflow to clean dust accumulated on the detection plate. After completing the dust collection mode, the machine exits and returns to its original settings, continuing to monitor its status until it is shut down. It should be noted that the three timeframes represent Tx, Ty, and Tz. In this invention, low concentration refers to PM2.5 levels between 1 and 75, medium concentration refers to PM2.5 levels between 75 and 150, and high concentration refers to PM2.5 levels above 150.

[0104] This invention utilizes the internal fan to generate suction, which, together with the dust blowing channel and air intake on the cover, forms a simple vacuum cleaner. The opening and closing of the baffle 6 acts as the switch for the vacuum cleaner. Utilizing the principle of a vacuum cleaner, the fast airflow blows up the dust covering the detection plate and sucks it away, preventing dust accumulation on the detection plate surface and avoiding damage. Simultaneously, the dust cleaning mode extends the lifespan of the detection plate and improves detection accuracy and reliability.
