[0016] To achieve the above objectives, a second aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a humidifier control program thereon, wherein when the humidifier control program is executed by a processor, the humidifier control method described in any of the above embodiments is implemented.

[0017] The computer-readable storage medium of this invention executes the humidifier control program stored thereon through a processor, which can adjust the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the humidifier, maintain stable water flow, ensure that the humidifier can work normally, and improve the user experience.

After the humidifier starts, it controls the water pump's start-up and stop in a second cycle until the humidifier receives a stop command or an abnormality occurs, at which point the humidifier shuts down. In other words, in this embodiment, the humidifier is in a start-stop state from start-up to operation, rather than running continuously. This allows for adjustment of the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the humidifier, maintaining stable water flow, ensuring the humidifier functions properly, and improving the user experience.

[0030] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote 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 intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a humidifier, its control method and apparatus, and a storage medium according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] This invention proposes a control method for a humidifier, wherein, as... Figure 1 As shown, the humidifier 100 includes a water pump 101 and an atomizing chamber 102. The water pump 101 supplies water to the atomizing chamber 102, which is equipped with a water detection probe 1021 and an atomizing plate 1022. Specifically, the water pump 101 includes an inlet 1011 and an outlet 1012. The inlet 1011 is located at the bottom of the water supply tank 103, and the outlet 1012 is located inside the atomizing chamber 102 for supplying water to the chamber. The atomizing chamber 102 also has a drain 1023, through which excess water in the atomizing chamber 102 can be drained into the water supply tank 103, forming a circulation. The atomizing plate 1022 in this invention can be a microporous atomizing plate 1022, which atomizes water and releases it into the air through micropores for humidification.

[0033] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a humidifier control method in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention proposes a control method for a humidifier 100, which includes the following steps:

[0035] S10: Upon receiving the start command of the humidifier 100, the water pump 101 is started and stopped in the first cycle mode to complete the start of the humidifier 100.

[0036] Specifically, the humidifier 100 can be controlled via a wired controller or a remote control, for example, by sending start or stop commands to the humidifier 100. Once the humidifier 100 receives the start command, it can control the water pump 101 to start and stop until the humidifier 100 has completed its startup. Here, "start" and "stop" can be understood as the humidifier 100 alternating between running and stopping.

[0037] In this embodiment, the water pump 101 is controlled to start and stop in a first cycle, including: controlling the water pump 101 to switch between a full-power operation state and a shut-off state, and setting the second state switching number and the second state switching duration of the water pump 101, wherein the second state switching duration increases with the increase of the second state switching number, the value range of the second state switching duration is (1ms, 10min), and the value range of the second state switching number is (1, 1000).

[0038] Specifically, the first cycle can be to first control the water pump 101 to run at full power, and then control the water pump 101 to shut down. More specifically, it can control the duration of the full-power operation of the water pump 101, the duration of shutdown, and the number of alternations. For example, the switching time between the full-power operation state and the off state of the water pump 101 can be controlled to a preset time, such as switching the state of the water pump 101 once every second.

[0039] In this embodiment, the duration of the water pump 101 state switching is also set to increase with the number of switching cycles, specifically as follows: Figure 3 As shown, after receiving the start command, the water pump 101 is controlled to run at full power and start timing. When the timing reaches the first preset time t1, the water pump 101 is switched to the off state and the timing is restarted. When the timing reaches the second preset time t2, the water pump 101 is switched to the full power state and the timing is restarted. When the timing reaches the third preset time t3, the water pump 101 is switched to the off state again and the timing is restarted. When the timing reaches the fourth preset time t4, the power of the water pump 101 is maintained at the preset power to complete the start of the humidifier 100.

[0040] It should be noted that, in Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the first preset duration t1 is less than the second preset duration t2, the second preset duration t2 is less than the third preset duration t3, and the third preset duration t3 is less than the fourth preset duration t4. That is, as the number of state transitions increases, the duration of the state transition also increases. Figure 3 This is just one specific embodiment shown, and the number of state transitions and the duration are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0041] In addition, this embodiment also sets a main loop time, and the duration of state switching can be controlled by the number of loops of the main loop time.

[0042] S20: After the humidifier 100 is started, the water pump 101 is continuously controlled to start and stop in the second cycle until the humidifier 100 receives a shutdown command or an abnormality occurs.

[0043] Specifically, after the humidifier 100 is started, it can enter the normal operation mode. During the normal operation, the water pump 101 is continuously controlled to start and stop in a second cycle until the humidifier 100 receives a shutdown command or an abnormality occurs, at which point the humidifier 100 can be controlled to shut down.

[0044] It is understood that by controlling the start and stop of the water pump 101 through the first cycle and the second cycle in the above embodiments, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the humidifier 100 can be avoided, which would prevent the water pump 101 from being unable to deliver water to the atomizing chamber 102 normally.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water pump 101 is continuously controlled to start and stop in a second cycle, including: controlling the operating power of the water pump 101 to a preset power and continuously controlling it for a preset time, and then controlling the water pump 101 to start and stop in a second sub-cycle; after the water pump 101 completes the start and stop control in the second sub-cycle, the above steps are repeated.

[0046] Specifically, controlling the start-stop of water pump 101 using the second cycle method can involve first controlling the operating power of water pump 101 to a preset power. That is, after the humidifier 100 starts, the operating power of water pump 101 is controlled to the preset power, and the water pump 101 is continuously controlled at the preset power for a preset time, which can be determined based on experimental data. After water pump 101 has operated at the preset power for the preset time, the start-stop of water pump 101 is controlled using the second sub-cycle method, and the above steps are repeated. In other words, after water pump 101 completes the start-stop control using the second sub-cycle method, the operating power of water pump 101 is again controlled to the preset power, and the preset time is continuously controlled. That is to say, the second cycle method contains a second sub-cycle, which allows for better regulation of the pressure inside and outside water pump 101.

[0047] In this embodiment, the pump 101 is started and stopped in a second sub-cycle manner, including: controlling the pump 101 to switch between a shut-off state and a full-power operation state, and setting the number of first state switching and the duration of the first state switching of the pump 101. The duration of the first state switching increases with the number of first state switching, and the value range of the duration of the first state switching is (1ms, 10min). The value range of the number of first state switching is (1, 1000).

[0048] Specifically, the second sub-loop method can be to first control the water pump 101 to shut down, and then control the water pump 101 to run at full power. Specifically, it can control the time the water pump 101 is in full power operation, the time it is off, and the number of times the states alternate. For example, the switching time between the full power operation state and the off state of the water pump 101 can be controlled to a preset time, such as switching the state of the water pump 101 every second.

[0049] In this embodiment, the duration of the water pump 101 state switching is also set to increase with the number of switching cycles, specifically as follows: Figure 4 As shown, after starting, water pump 101 maintains operation at a preset power. After water pump 101 maintains operation at the preset power for a preset duration t0, water pump 101 is controlled to turn off and the timer is started. When the timer reaches the fifth preset duration t5, water pump 101 is switched to full power and the timer is restarted. When the timer reaches the sixth preset duration t6, water pump 101 is switched off and the timer is restarted. When the timer reaches the seventh preset duration t7, water pump 101 is switched back to full power and the timer is restarted. When the timer reaches the eighth preset duration t8, water pump 101 is switched off and the timer is restarted. When the timer reaches the ninth preset duration t9, the power of water pump 101 is maintained at the preset power again to complete the second sub-cycle.

[0050] It should be noted that, in Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the fifth preset duration t5 is less than the sixth preset duration t6, the sixth preset duration t6 is less than the seventh preset duration t7, the seventh preset duration t7 is less than the eighth preset duration t8, and the eighth preset duration t8 is less than the ninth preset duration t9. That is, as the number of state transitions increases, the duration of the state transition also increases. Figure 4 This is just one specific embodiment shown, and the number of state transitions and the duration are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method further includes: setting the intermittent cycle flag of the water pump 101 before controlling the start and stop of the water pump 101 in the second sub-cycle mode; and resetting the intermittent cycle flag of the water pump 101 after the water pump 101 completes the start and stop control in the second sub-cycle mode.

[0052] Specifically, after the water pump 101 maintains the preset power for a preset duration t0, the intermittent cycle flag of the water pump 101 is first set, and then the second sub-cycle is executed to control the water pump 101 through the second sub-cycle. The second sub-cycle can be referred to the specific description of the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here. After the second sub-cycle ends, the intermittent cycle flag of the water pump 101 is reset, and then the water pump 101 is controlled to maintain the preset power for a preset duration t0 again, and so on.

[0053] In summary, the humidifier control method in this embodiment of the invention, through start-stop control, allows the atmosphere to pass through the microporous atomizing plate to adjust the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the humidifier, thereby maintaining the stability of the water flow in the water pump, ensuring that the humidifier can work normally, and improving the user experience.

[0054] Furthermore, the present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium storing a humidifier control program thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the humidifier control method according to any of the above embodiments.

[0055] The computer-readable storage medium of this invention executes the humidifier control program stored thereon through a processor, which can adjust the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the humidifier, maintain stable water flow, ensure that the humidifier can work normally, and improve the user experience.

[0056] Figure 6 This is a block diagram of the control device structure of the humidifier in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the present invention proposes a control device 600 for a humidifier, wherein the humidifier 100 includes a water pump 101, and the control device 600 is used to: upon receiving a start command from the humidifier 100, control the water pump 101 to start and stop in a first cycle to complete the start of the humidifier 100; after the start of the humidifier 100 is completed, continuously control the water pump 101 to start and stop in a second cycle until the humidifier 100 receives a shut-off command or an abnormality occurs.

[0058] In this embodiment, after receiving a start command, the humidifier control device 600 controls the water pump 101 in a first cycle to start the humidifier 100. After the humidifier 100 starts, it controls the water pump 101 in the humidifier 100 in a second cycle until the humidifier 100 receives a shutdown command or an abnormality occurs, at which point the humidifier 100 shuts down. In other words, in this embodiment, the humidifier 100 is in a start-stop state from start to operation, rather than running continuously. This allows for adjustment of the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the humidifier 100, maintaining stable water flow, ensuring the humidifier functions properly, and improving the user experience.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control device 600 is specifically used to: control the operating power of the water pump to a preset power, and after continuously controlling it for a preset time, control the start and stop of the water pump in a second sub-cycle mode; after the water pump completes the start and stop control in the second sub-cycle mode, repeat the above steps.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control device 600 is specifically used to: control the water pump to switch between a shut-off state and a full-power operation state, and set the number of first state switching times and the duration of the first state switching of the water pump, wherein the duration of the first state switching increases with the increase of the number of first state switching times.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control device 600 is further configured to: set the intermittent cycle flag of the water pump before starting and stopping the water pump in the second sub-cycle mode; and reset the intermittent cycle flag of the water pump after the water pump has completed the start and stop control in the second sub-cycle mode.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first state switching duration ranges from (1ms to 10min), and the number of first state switching times ranges from (1 to 1000).

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control device 600 is specifically used to: control the water pump to switch between a full-power operating state and a shut-off state, and set the number of second state switching times and the second state switching duration of the water pump, wherein the second state switching duration increases with the increase of the number of second state switching times.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the value range of the second state switching duration is (1ms, 10min), and the value range of the second state switching number is (1, 1000).

[0065] It should be noted that the specific implementation of the humidifier control device in the embodiments of the present invention can be found in the specific implementation of the humidifier control method in the above embodiments. To avoid redundancy, it will not be described again here.

[0066] In summary, the control device of the humidifier in this embodiment of the invention can adjust the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the humidifier, maintain stable water flow, ensure that the humidifier can work normally, and improve the user experience.
