[0042] The following are specific embodiments of this application, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the technical solutions of this application. However, this application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0043] Existing electric air vents generally have two modes of air output: vertical sweeping and horizontal sweeping. Vertical sweeping and horizontal sweeping are two independent actions. The two modes meet the needs of different scenarios, but two motors are required to achieve vertical sweeping and horizontal sweeping to meet the user's needs. However, the electric air vent of this application can achieve vertical sweeping and horizontal sweeping with only one motor.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a control method for an electric air vent according to this application.

[0045] Step S11: Obtain the air outlet signal; The transmitter sends out an air outlet signal, and the electric air outlet can recognize the air outlet signal and perform corresponding actions. The electric air outlet includes a first air outlet, a second air outlet, a moving component, and a flipping component; For example, the transmitter sends out an up-and-down air sweeping signal, and the electric air outlet performs up-and-down air sweeping; It should be noted that the transmitter can be any electronic device that can send out an air outlet signal, such as a remote control or a mobile phone.

[0046] Step S12: In response to the air outlet signal, control the motor's operating state. Depending on the different air outlet signals emitted by the transmitter, the motor performs different operations. This application does not limit the specific type of motor; any motor capable of simultaneously adjusting the up-and-down and left-and-right airflow of the electric air outlet should be within the scope of protection of this application. For example, the motor can be a stepper motor or a servo motor.

[0047] Step S13: In response to the motor adjusting the working state of the first and second air vents; the user adjusts the air outlet mode of the electric air vent by adjusting the working state of the first and second air vents; the motor simultaneously controls the moving component and the flipping component to perform periodic motion; the moving component controls the left and right sweeping of the first and second air vents, and the flipping component controls the up and down sweeping of the first and second air vents.

[0048] The moving component includes a first moving part, and the first air outlet includes a first blade assembly; the first moving part and the first blade assembly are connected, and the first blade assembly includes a plurality of first blades; the plurality of first blades are sequentially connected to the first moving part, and in order to prevent the left and right sweeping of the first air outlet from being adjusted, the interval between two adjacent first blades should be greater than the length of the first blade to prevent the first blades from colliding when rotating with the first moving part.

[0049] The motor adjusts the working status of the first and second air inlets, including adjusting the left and right swing of the first air inlet, such as... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the motor-adjusted left and right airflow of the first air inlet in this application.

[0050] Step S21: Acquire left and right swing signals; the transmitter can emit different left and right swing signals, for example, the wind speeds of the emitted left and right swing signals are different;

[0051] Step S22: Control the working state of the motor in response to the left and right sweeping signals; the motor receives different left and right sweeping signals with different wind speeds, and the frequency and step size of the motor are adjusted accordingly to achieve the effect of adjusting the wind speed;

[0052] Step S23: The motor starts and drives the first moving part to make periodic movements in the horizontal direction; the first moving part is connected to the motor, and the moving speed of the first moving part is controlled based on the frequency of the motor; in this embodiment, the moving speed of the first moving part is positively correlated with the frequency of the motor, that is, the higher the frequency of the motor, the faster the moving speed of the first moving part.

[0053] Step S24: In response to the movement of the first moving member, the first blade assembly rotates; the first moving member moves in the horizontal direction, thereby causing the first blade assembly to rotate; for example, the first moving member moves from right to left, causing the first blade assembly to rotate from right to left, and the rotational speed of the first blade assembly is positively correlated with the moving speed of the first moving member; that is, the faster the moving speed of the first moving member, the faster the rotational speed of the first blade assembly.

[0054] Optionally, the motor drives the first moving part to make periodic movements in the horizontal direction, and the rotation of the first blade assembly also conforms to periodicity; that is, the first moving part completes one cycle of movement, and the first blade assembly completes one cycle of movement; the time of one cycle is determined by the moving speed of the first moving part and the length that the first moving part needs to move in one cycle.

[0055] The moving component includes a second moving member, and the second air outlet includes a second blade assembly. The second moving member and the second blade assembly are connected, and the second blade assembly includes multiple second blades. These multiple second blades are sequentially connected to the second moving member. To prevent left-right airflow during adjustment of the second air outlet, the interval between two adjacent second blades should be greater than the length of the second blade to prevent collisions when the second blades rotate with the second moving member. The second blades included in the second blade assembly may be identical to the first blades included in the first blade assembly, and the first and second blades may also have the same shape and size.

[0056] The motor adjusts the working status of the first and second air inlets, including adjusting the left and right swing of the second air inlet. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the motor-adjusted left and right airflow of the second air vent in this application.

[0057] Step S31: Same as step S21, and will not be repeated here;

[0058] Step S32: Same as step S22, and will not be repeated here;

[0059] Step S33: The motor starts and drives the second moving part to make periodic movements in the horizontal direction; the second moving part is connected to the motor, and the moving speed of the second moving part is controlled based on the frequency of the motor; in this embodiment, the moving speed of the second moving part is positively correlated with the frequency of the motor, that is, the higher the frequency of the motor, the faster the moving speed of the second moving part.

[0060] Step S34: In response to the movement of the second moving member, the second blade assembly rotates; the second moving member moves in the horizontal direction, thereby causing the second blade assembly to rotate; for example, the second moving member moves from right to left, causing the second blade assembly to rotate from right to left, and the rotational speed of the second blade assembly is positively correlated with the moving speed of the second moving member; that is, the faster the moving speed of the second moving member, the faster the rotational speed of the second blade assembly.

[0061] The first and second moving parts move synchronously, meaning the motor drives both the first and second moving parts simultaneously. The first and second blade assemblies rotate synchronously based on the synchronous movement of the first and second moving parts. The left-to-right / right-to-left sweeping of the electric air outlet is achieved through the synchronous rotation of the first and second blade assemblies.

[0062] In summary, the electric air vent of this application includes a first air vent and a second air vent. The control method of the electric air vent includes the following steps: acquiring an air outlet signal; controlling the working state of the motor in response to the air outlet signal; and adjusting the working state of the first and second air vents in response to the motor. By using a single motor to achieve up / down and left / right adjustment of the air vent, costs are saved and energy consumption is reduced while maintaining the original functionality.

[0063] In one embodiment, the flipping assembly includes a first flipping member and a second flipping member; the motor adjusting the working state of the first and second air inlets includes the motor adjusting the up and down airflow; such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the motor adjusting the up and down sweeping airflow of this application.

[0064] Step S41: Acquire up and down sweep signals; the transmitter can send different up and down sweep signals, for example, the wind speeds of the sent up and down sweep signals are different;

[0065] Step S42: Control the working state of the motor in response to the up and down sweeping signals; the motor receives different up and down sweeping signals with different wind speeds, and the frequency and step size of the motor are adjusted accordingly to achieve the effect of adjusting the wind speed;

[0066] Step S43: The motor starts and drives the first flipping component to flip; the flipping speed of the first flipping component is controlled based on the frequency of the motor; in this embodiment, the flipping speed of the first flipping component is positively correlated with the frequency of the motor, that is, the higher the motor frequency, the faster the flipping speed of the first flipping component.

[0067] When the first flipper rotates to the first preset position, the electric air vent is in the first preset state, air is emitted from the first air vent, and no air is emitted from the second air vent. Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the electric air vent of this application placed in a first preset state.

[0068] When the main air inlet is in the first preset state, the first flipper 11 flips to the first preset position. At this time, the airflow only flows to the first blade assembly 13, and the first flipper 11 blocks the airflow from flowing to the second blade assembly 14. At this time, the first air outlet discharges air, and the second air outlet does not discharge air, that is, the upper air outlet discharges air, and the lower air outlet does not discharge air. During the process of the motor adjusting the electric air outlet to move up and down, the second flipper 12 remains fixed. It should be noted that even if there is no airflow at the lower air outlet at this time, the second blade assembly 14 will always rotate synchronously with the first blade assembly 13.

[0069] When the first flipper rotates to the second preset position, the electric air vent is in the second preset state, air is emitted from the second air vent, and no air is emitted from the first air vent. Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the electric air vent of this application in a second preset state.

[0070] When the main air inlet is in the second preset state, the first flipper 11 flips to the second preset position. At this time, the airflow flows only to the second blade assembly 14, and the first flipper 11 blocks the airflow from flowing to the first blade assembly 13. At this time, the second air outlet exits, and the first air outlet does not, that is, the lower air outlet exits, and the upper air outlet does not. During the motor-adjusted up and down sweeping of the electric air outlet, the second flipper 12 remains fixed. It should be noted that even if there is no airflow at the upper air outlet at this time, the first blade assembly 13 will always rotate synchronously with the second blade assembly 14.

[0071] When the first flipper is not flipped to the first or second preset position, the electric air vent is in the third preset state, and air is discharged from both the first and second air vents. Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the electric air vent of this application in a third preset state.

[0072] When the main air inlet is in the third preset state, the first flipper 11 is not flipped to the first or second preset position. At this time, the airflow flows to the first blade assembly 13 and the second blade assembly 14. Air exits from both the first and second air inlets; that is, air exits from both the upper and lower air inlets. During the motor-adjusted up-and-down airflow of the electric air inlet, the second flipper 12 remains fixed. It should be noted that the first blade assembly 13 and the second blade assembly 14 rotate synchronously at this time.

[0073] During the process of the motor adjusting the electric air vent to move up and down, the electric air vent can periodically switch between a first preset state, a second preset state, and a third preset state. That is, the flipping position of the first flipping component 11 is always between the first preset position and the second preset position. Based on the motor driving the first flipping component 11 to rotate periodically, the electric air vent switches between the first preset state, the second preset state, and the third preset state. When the first flipping component 11 is not in the first preset position or the second preset position, the electric air vent is in the third preset state. For example, the rotation angle range of the first flipping component 11 is [30°, 60°]. When the first flipping component 11 is at 30°, it is the first preset state; when the first flipping component 11 is at 60°, it is the second preset state; and when the first flipping component 11 is at any angle between 30° and 60°, it is the third preset state. The user can control the electric air vent to periodically switch between preset states through the transmitter, or the user can control the electric air vent to always remain in a certain preset state through the transmitter.

[0074] Please see Figure 8-9 As shown, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of placing an electric air vent of this application in a closed state; Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the electrically operated air vent in a closed state. The electrically operated air vent can be closed, and the process of closing the electrically operated air vent includes the following steps:

[0075] Step S51: Obtain the shutdown signal. The transmitter sends out an air outlet signal. The electric air outlet can recognize the air outlet signal and perform the corresponding action. The electric air outlet includes a first air outlet and a second air outlet.

[0076] Step S52: Control the motor's operating state in response to the shutdown signal;

[0077] Step S53: In response to the motor, the first and second flipping members are flipped to preset positions. In this embodiment, the first flipping member 11 flips to the second preset position to block the airflow to the first blade assembly 13; the second flipping member 12 flips to the preset position to block the airflow to the second blade assembly 14. In other embodiments, the electric air vent can enter the closed state by the first flipping member 11 flipping to the first preset position to block the airflow to the second blade assembly, and the second flipping member 12 flipping to the preset position to block the airflow to the first blade assembly.

[0078] Step S54: No airflow from the first air vent and no airflow from the second air vent, the electric air vent enters the closed state; through the cooperation of the first flipping member 11 and the second flipping member 12, the airflow is blocked to the first blade assembly 13 and the second blade assembly 14, resulting in no airflow from the first air vent and the second air vent, that is, no airflow from the upper and lower air vents, thus completing the closing action.

[0079] The motor is equipped with a position sensor. Based on the position information of the motor, the position information of the motor is obtained, and the status of the electric air vent is obtained in response to the position information of the motor. In one embodiment, the transmitter has a display device, through which the user can obtain the real-time status of the electric air vent.
