Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of smart home technology, and in particular to a heat dissipation method, device, equipment and storage medium for household appliances. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing popularity of home appliances and consumers' increasing requirements for home environment, it has become a trend in home decoration to integrate home appliances into the home environment in a way that is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. For example, cooking equipment is built into the cooking equipment cabinet, which is both stylish and beautiful, and can also be used to store cooking equipment. Another example is to embed the TV and refrigerator into the wall, so that the TV and refrigerator are integrated into the decoration style.

[0003] Although integrating home appliances into the home environment can meet consumers' aesthetic requirements for the home environment, the heat dissipation problem of home appliances has been ignored. Most existing home appliances use a single and fixed heat dissipation method, such as fan heat dissipation. Moreover, existing home appliances do not consider whether the environment in which the home appliances are located meets the heat dissipation conditions. If the environment in which the home appliances are located does not meet the heat dissipation conditions of its single heat dissipation method, the heat dissipation effect of the home appliances will be greatly reduced, and even the service life of the home appliances will be affected. For example, the user is unclear about the heat dissipation requirements of the steam oven, and places the steam oven in the cooking equipment cabinet. The heat dissipation fan of the steam oven is blocked by the cabinet body of the cooking equipment cabinet and cannot dissipate heat normally. This situation affects the cooking effect at the least and shortens the service life of the steam oven, and at the worst, it causes safety hazards. Summary of the invention

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0027] In the first embodiment, a heat dissipation method for household appliances is provided. Figure 1 , which is a flow chart of a heat dissipation method for household appliances according to the first embodiment of the present application.

[0028] Step S110, collecting an environmental image of the environment in which the household appliance is located.

[0029] The types of household appliances include, but are not limited to, cooking equipment, TV sets, refrigerators, and washing machines. The types of cooking equipment include, but are not limited to, steam ovens. Among them, steam ovens are cooking equipment that integrates the functions of steaming, baking, and roasting.

[0030] The environmental image refers to an environmental image that can reflect the location of the home appliance.

[0031] Specifically, call the environment camera installed in the environment where the home appliance is located, and collect the environment image of the environment where the home appliance is located through the environment camera; or call the home appliance camera installed on the shell of the home appliance, and collect the environment image of the environment where the home appliance is located through the home appliance camera.

[0032] Step S120: identifying the type of heat dissipation environment corresponding to the household appliance according to the environment image.

[0033] In the environment image, image features are extracted, and the type of heat dissipation environment matching the image features is identified. The image features are used to reflect the environmental characteristics of the location of the home appliance.

[0034] The heat dissipation environment type is used to reflect the heat dissipation shielding condition of the location of the home appliance. The types of heat dissipation environment types include but are not limited to: open type, shielded type and embedded type.

[0035] The open type is used to indicate that there is no obstruction around the home appliance. Furthermore, based on the image feature recognition, there is no obstruction within the radius of the first preset distance with the home appliance as the center, and the heat dissipation environment type corresponding to the home appliance is determined to be the open type. For example, if the home appliance is placed on the guide table of an open kitchen, and there is no obstruction around the home appliance (such as within 1 meter) that blocks the heat dissipation of the home appliance, then it can be determined that the home appliance corresponds to the open type.

[0036] The obstruction type is used to indicate that there is obstruction around the household appliance, but it does not reach the embedded type. Further, based on the image features, it is identified that in the heat dissipation direction of the heat dissipation port of the household appliance, if there is an obstruction within the second preset distance from the heat dissipation port, the heat dissipation environment type corresponding to the household appliance is determined to be the obstruction type, otherwise, the heat dissipation environment type corresponding to the household appliance is determined to be the open type. For example: the heat dissipation port of the household appliance is located on the back panel of the household appliance, and there is a wall at a position where the vertical distance from the back panel is less than the second preset distance (such as within 5 cm), then the household appliance is determined to correspond to the obstruction type. Another example: the household appliance is set on a hollow shelf, and the heat dissipation port of the household appliance is located on the back panel of the household appliance. Although there are shelf supports (obstructions) around the household appliance, they do not block the heat dissipation port. In this case, it can be determined that the household appliance corresponds to the open type.

[0037] The embedded type means that there is at most one open window around the home appliance. The development window refers to the opening left for the user to operate the home appliance. For example, the home appliance is placed in a cabinet, and the control panel of the home appliance faces the cabinet door. Based on the image features, it is identified that there is at most one open window around the home appliance, and the heat dissipation environment type corresponding to the home appliance is determined to be the embedded type.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, household appliances, especially small household appliances, can be moved at will by users, so the environment where the household appliances are located may change at any time. In order to cope with this problem, the embodiment of the present application can collect environmental images of the environment where the household appliances are located in real time, and identify the heat dissipation environment type corresponding to the household appliances based on the environmental images collected in real time.

[0039] Step S130 , turning on a heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type to dissipate heat for the household appliance.

[0040] A plurality of heat dissipation environment types are preset, and a heat dissipation device is pre-configured for each heat dissipation environment type, and the heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type currently corresponding to the home appliance is turned on to dissipate heat for the home appliance.

[0041] The types of heat dissipation devices include: heat dissipation devices arranged in the household appliance and heat dissipation devices arranged in the environment where the household appliance is located. Of course, the heat dissipation device may also be a null value. If the heat dissipation device is a null value, it means that the household appliance dissipates heat by air convection.

[0042] The heat dissipation devices installed in household appliances include, but are not limited to: fan heat dissipation devices, water-cooled heat dissipation devices, and controllable heat dissipation ports.

[0043] The heat dissipation device installed in the environment where the household appliances are located includes but is not limited to: intelligent protective covers, refrigeration equipment and heat exchange equipment for household appliances. The intelligent protective cover is a cover that contains the household appliances and can be controlled to open and close, and the household appliances are placed in an intelligent cabinet with a controllable door body, etc. Refrigeration equipment includes but is not limited to: air conditioning equipment. Heat exchange equipment includes but is not limited to exhaust fans, air circulation fans, and range hoods.

[0044] A heat dissipation device suitable for heat dissipation of household appliances is pre-set for each type of heat dissipation environment, so that the heat dissipation device and the type of heat dissipation environment are adapted to help the heat exchange of household appliances to the greatest extent.

[0045] For example, an embedded household appliance is located in a basically closed space, and air circulation is not smooth, so the heat dissipation device corresponding to the embedded type may be a water-cooled heat dissipation device.

[0046] For example, there are no obstructions around open-type household appliances, and the air circulation is good, so a fan heat dissipation device is set up for the open-type.

[0047] In the first embodiment of the present application, an environmental image of the environment in which the household appliance is located is collected; based on the environmental image, the type of heat dissipation environment corresponding to the household appliance is identified; and a heat dissipation device corresponding to the type of heat dissipation environment is turned on to dissipate heat for the household appliance. The household appliance in the embodiment of the present application does not adopt a single heat dissipation method, but uses the environmental image to identify the environment in which the household appliance is located, and selects a heat dissipation device that is compatible with the environment to dissipate heat for the household appliance. This reverse selection process can ensure that the environment in which the household appliance is located can always meet the heat dissipation conditions of the heat dissipation device, and help the household appliance dissipate heat to the greatest extent, so that the household appliance is always in the best heat dissipation state and obtains the best heat dissipation effect.

[0048] Furthermore, by adopting the heat dissipation method of the embodiment of the present application, household appliances can dissipate heat normally, will not affect the use effect of the equipment, will not shorten the service life of the equipment due to abnormal heat dissipation, and will not cause safety hazards caused by abnormal heat dissipation, and can ensure the stable operation of household appliances in high temperature environments.

[0049] Second embodiment: The heat dissipation method of the household appliance according to the second embodiment of the present application is described below.

[0050] In a second embodiment of the present application, a plurality of heat dissipation environment types are pre-set, and at least one heat dissipation device is correspondingly provided for each heat dissipation environment type, so that when the heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type is turned on, the number of turned-on heat dissipation devices is at least one.

[0051] Specifically, for each type of heat dissipation environment, at least one heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type includes: a main heat dissipation device and an auxiliary heat dissipation device. The main heat dissipation device and the auxiliary heat dissipation device corresponding to the same heat dissipation environment type are different.

[0052] The main heat sink is the heat sink that is turned on first.

[0053] Auxiliary cooling device refers to the cooling device that is turned on subsequently.

[0054] Furthermore, a main heat dissipation device and an auxiliary heat dissipation mode are set for each type of heat dissipation environment. The auxiliary heat dissipation mode refers to a mode of turning on the auxiliary heat dissipation device after the main heat dissipation device is turned on according to the heat dissipation condition of the household appliance. The main heat dissipation device and the heat dissipation device (auxiliary heat dissipation device) turned on by the auxiliary heat dissipation mode are different.

[0055] In order to make the application process of the above-mentioned main heat dissipation device and auxiliary heat dissipation device clearer, the second embodiment of the present application will be further described below. Figure 2 Flow chart of a heat dissipation method for household appliances according to the second embodiment of the present application.

[0056] Step S210, collecting an environmental image of the environment in which the household appliance is located.

[0057] Step S220: identifying the type of heat dissipation environment corresponding to the household appliance according to the environment image.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, since multiple heat dissipation environment types have different characteristics and are quite different, for example, the embedded type may have only one side with a higher brightness value and other sides with lower brightness values, an image recognition algorithm can be used to identify the heat dissipation environment type that matches the image feature. Specifically, multiple heat dissipation environment types can be pre-set, and environmental features can be set for the multiple heat dissipation environment types respectively; the environmental features are used to reflect the environmental characteristics under the heat dissipation environment type; the image features extracted from the environmental image are matched with each environmental feature respectively, and the heat dissipation environment type corresponding to the environmental feature that matches the image feature is determined. Furthermore, whether the image feature matches the environmental feature can be determined by similarity calculation; when the similarity between the image feature and the environmental feature is greater than the preset similarity threshold, it is determined that the image feature matches the environmental feature, otherwise, it is determined that the image feature does not match the environmental feature.

[0059] Of course, in addition to using an image recognition algorithm to identify the type of heat dissipation environment that matches the image features, other methods can also be used to identify the type of heat dissipation environment that matches the image features. For example, an image classification model for identifying the type of heat dissipation environment can be pre-trained; the image features extracted from the environment image are input into the image classification model, and the type of heat dissipation environment that matches the image features output by the image classification model is obtained.

[0060] Step S230, turning on the main heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type; wherein a main heat dissipation device and an auxiliary heat dissipation device are pre-set corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type; and the main heat dissipation device and the auxiliary heat dissipation device are different.

[0061] The types of the main heat dissipation device include but are not limited to: a null value, a water-cooled heat dissipation device of the household appliance, a fan heat dissipation device and a heat dissipation port; wherein a null value indicates that an air convection heat dissipation method is adopted for the household appliance.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, turning on a main body heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type includes: turning on at least one main body heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type.

[0063] Furthermore, the number and position of the heat dissipation ports in the initial state can be set, and if the main heat dissipation device to be opened is a heat dissipation port, the heat dissipation port is opened according to the number and position of the heat dissipation ports in the initial state. Opening the heat dissipation port means opening the heat dissipation port.

[0064] Step S240: using a preset temperature sensor to collect the device temperature of the household appliance.

[0065] The temperature sensor can be set in the household appliance to collect the device temperature of the household appliance.

[0066] Step S250, determining whether the device temperature is greater than a preset first temperature threshold; if yes, executing step S260; if no, executing step S240.

[0067] The first temperature threshold can be used to measure whether the household appliance is overheated. The first temperature threshold is an empirical value or a value obtained through experiments.

[0068] If the device temperature is greater than the first temperature threshold, it means that the home appliance is overheated, and the overheating of the home appliance means that the heat dissipation effect of the home appliance is poor. If the device temperature is less than or equal to the first temperature threshold, the device temperature of the home appliance needs to be monitored in real time.

[0069] Step S260: If the device temperature is greater than the first temperature threshold, the auxiliary heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type is turned on to perform auxiliary heat dissipation on the household appliance.

[0070] The auxiliary heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type is turned on. Further, the auxiliary heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type is turned on according to the auxiliary heat dissipation mode corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type to perform auxiliary heat dissipation on the household appliance.

[0071] Types of auxiliary heat dissipation devices include, but are not limited to: water-cooled heat dissipation devices, fan heat dissipation devices and heat dissipation ports of the household appliance, as well as refrigeration equipment and heat exchange equipment in the environment where the household appliance is located.

[0072] Specifically, turning on the auxiliary heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type includes at least one of the following methods: operating the water-cooling heat dissipation device and / or the fan heat dissipation device of the household appliance; adjusting the heat dissipation port of the household appliance according to the equipment temperature of the household appliance; operating the refrigeration equipment and heat exchange equipment in the environment where the household appliance is located according to the equipment temperature of the household appliance.

[0073] Furthermore, adjusting the heat dissipation outlet of the household appliance according to the device temperature of the household appliance includes: querying the temperature level corresponding to the device temperature of the household appliance; determining the number of heat dissipation outlets and the positions of the heat dissipation outlets corresponding to the temperature level; and controlling the household appliance at the heat dissipation outlet position to open the heat dissipation outlets of the number of heat dissipation outlets.

[0074] The temperatures that can be reached by the household appliance during operation are pre-divided into multiple temperature intervals, each temperature interval corresponds to a temperature level, the higher the temperature level, the higher the device temperature of the household appliance, and the lower the temperature level, the lower the device temperature of the household appliance.

[0075] Pre-set heat dissipation vents at multiple positions and angles in the home appliance. According to the total number of heat dissipation vents in the home appliance and the position of each heat dissipation vent, set the number of heat dissipation vents and the position of the heat dissipation vents for each temperature level. The higher the temperature level, the more heat dissipation vent data and the more the heat dissipation vent position faces the open space; the lower the temperature level, the fewer heat dissipation vents and the farther the heat dissipation vent position is from the open space. Of course, those skilled in the art should know that this is only one embodiment, and the setting and selection of the number of heat dissipation vents and the position of the heat dissipation vents are not limited to this.

[0076] Furthermore, operating the refrigeration equipment and the heat exchange equipment in the environment where the household appliance is located according to the equipment temperature of the household appliance includes: querying the temperature level corresponding to the equipment temperature of the household appliance; if the refrigeration equipment is operated, operating the refrigeration equipment according to the refrigeration parameters corresponding to the temperature level; if the heat exchange equipment is operated, operating the heat exchange equipment according to the heat exchange gear corresponding to the temperature level.

[0077] Pre-set cooling parameters and heat exchange gears for each temperature level. Among them, cooling parameters include cooling temperature and wind direction. The wind direction corresponding to each temperature level is toward the home appliance. The higher the temperature level, the higher the cooling temperature and the higher the heat exchange gear. The lower the temperature level, the lower the cooling temperature and the lower the heat exchange gear. Among them, the higher the heat exchange gear, the greater the heat exchange with the outdoor environment, and the better the indoor air circulation.

[0078] In the second embodiment of the present application, by providing a main heat dissipation device and an auxiliary heat dissipation device, the household appliance can perform diversified heat dissipation, and when the heat dissipation condition is not good, auxiliary heat dissipation can be performed through the auxiliary heat dissipation device, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the household appliance, shortening the heat dissipation time of the household appliance, and achieving a better heat dissipation effect of the household appliance.

[0079] In the third embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, if the user simply needs to speed up the heat dissipation, the auxiliary heat dissipation device can also be used. Specifically, an environmental image of the environment in which the household appliance is located is collected; based on the environmental image, the type of heat dissipation environment corresponding to the household appliance is identified; the main heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type is turned on and the auxiliary heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type is turned on; wherein, the main heat dissipation device and the auxiliary heat dissipation device are pre-set for the heat dissipation environment type; the main heat dissipation device and the auxiliary heat dissipation device are different.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, with the help of the main heat dissipation device and the auxiliary heat dissipation device, the heat dissipation efficiency of the household appliance can be effectively improved and the heat dissipation time of the household appliance can be shortened.

[0081] Fourth embodiment: The heat dissipation method of the household appliance according to the fourth embodiment of the present application is described below.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, the heat dissipation process of the home appliance is made to follow the user's schedule. For example, if the user sets the home appliance to be used at 6 pm, then the temperature of the home appliance needs to be lowered to the ambient temperature before 6 pm. Another example: if the user is using an electric oven, the user sets the heat dissipation to be completed within 20 minutes after stopping use.

[0083] Figure 3 4 is a flow chart of a heat dissipation method for household appliances according to the fourth embodiment of the present application.

[0084] Step S310, obtaining the target time for device heat dissipation.

[0085] The target time for device heat dissipation refers to the latest time for the home appliance to recover the usable temperature after heat dissipation. The usable temperature refers to the temperature suitable for the home appliance to operate again. The usable temperature is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold. The second temperature threshold is an empirical value or a value obtained through experiments. For example, the second temperature threshold is the ambient temperature of the environment in which the home appliance is located.

[0086] Users can set the heat dissipation target time of the device in the home appliance.

[0087] Step S320, before the target heat dissipation time of the device arrives, an environmental image of the environment in which the household appliance is located is collected.

[0088] The target time for heat dissipation of the device is taken as the end time, the preset time length is taken as the time span, the start time is determined, and the environmental image of the environment where the home appliance is located is collected at the start time. The time length is an empirical value or a value obtained through experiments.

[0089] For example, if the time length is half an hour and the target time for device heat dissipation is 6 o'clock, then half an hour in advance, that is, at 5:30, start collecting environmental images of the environment in which the home appliance is located.

[0090] Step S330: identifying the type of heat dissipation environment corresponding to the household appliance according to the environment image.

[0091] Step S340: using a preset temperature sensor to collect the device temperature of the household appliance.

[0092] Step S350, determining whether the device temperature is greater than a preset second temperature threshold; if yes, executing step S360; if no, executing step S340.

[0093] Step S360: If the device temperature is greater than a preset second temperature threshold, the heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type is turned on, so that when the device heat dissipation target time arrives, the device temperature of the household appliance is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold.

[0094] If the device temperature is greater than the preset second temperature threshold, it means that the current device temperature of the home appliance is not yet a temperature suitable for the home appliance to be used again. In this case, it is necessary to operate the heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type.

[0095] The said turning on the heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type includes: when turning on the heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type, if there is already a heat dissipation device turned on, directly turning on other heat dissipation devices corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type; or, waiting for a preset waiting time, continuing to determine whether the current device temperature of the household appliance is greater than the second temperature threshold, and if so, turning on other heat dissipation devices corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type. Other heat dissipation devices are, for example, a main heat dissipation device that has not been turned on and an auxiliary heat dissipation device that has not been turned on. When turning on other heat dissipation devices, turn on other heat dissipation devices according to the maximum temperature level corresponding to the household appliance.

[0096] The preset waiting time is an empirical value or a value obtained through experiments, for example, half of the preset time length (the time length between the above-mentioned time start point and time end point).

[0097] In the fourth embodiment of the present application, a heat dissipation strategy is formulated according to the heat dissipation target time of the device, so that the heat dissipation process of the home appliance can take into account the user's schedule, which is more in line with the user's needs and convenient for the user to use the home appliance again. Of course, if the user simply wants the user to end the heat dissipation at a certain time point, the method of this embodiment can also be used.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, according to information such as user needs, device heat dissipation conditions, and user itinerary, at least one heat dissipation device corresponding to the heat dissipation environment type of the home appliance is turned on to dissipate heat for the home appliance, thereby realizing intelligent control of the heat dissipation of the home appliance, adapting the most appropriate heat dissipation method to the home appliance, and enabling the home appliance to always maintain the best heat dissipation state, which can effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the home appliance and increase the safety and stability of the operation of the home appliance.

[0099] For example, the steam oven is installed in an open kitchen with enough space around it for air circulation and close to windows, which is conducive to natural ventilation. Based on the open environment layout and the location of the steam oven close to the window, natural convection heat dissipation can be preferred as the main heat dissipation method. This heat dissipation method is both energy-saving and environmentally friendly. As the steam oven dissipates heat, when the temperature inside the steam oven is high or needs to be cooled quickly, such as when the equipment temperature of the steam oven is greater than the first temperature threshold, the fan heat dissipation device can be started as a supplement to speed up the heat dissipation speed.

[0100] Another example: The steam oven is embedded in a kitchen wall cabinet made of thermal insulation material. This type of wall has good thermal insulation performance. The steam oven adopts a fully embedded installation method, and its heat dissipation port is located at the back of the wall cabinet. The steam oven cannot effectively dissipate heat by relying on the heat dissipation port. In this case, the heat dissipation demand of the steam oven is high, and it can be given priority to use a water-cooled heat dissipation device as the main heat dissipation device, and the indoor air conditioner as the auxiliary heat dissipation device.

[0101] It should be noted that if the water cooling device of the home appliance needs to be turned on, a water vapor collector and a cooler need to be set in the home appliance in advance to collect the water vapor generated during the use of the home appliance. The water vapor is guided into the cooler so that the cooler can be used to cool the water vapor. After cooling, it is discharged from the home appliance to achieve water resource recycling and reuse. This water cooling method that can achieve water resource recycling not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency, but is also environmentally friendly and energy-saving, and has a significant beneficial effect on improving user experience and extending equipment life.

[0102] Another example: the user plans to use the steam oven at dinner time, and hopes to quickly reduce the temperature inside the steam oven after cooking. In this case, before dinner time comes, the fan heat dissipation device or the water cooling heat dissipation device can be started in advance to ensure that the steam oven reaches the optimal state before cooking (the device temperature is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold). If the steam oven cannot reach the optimal state after a period of heat dissipation, it can also be linked with the indoor air conditioner to adjust the operating mode or wind direction of the air conditioner to enhance the ventilation effect of the kitchen, and further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the steam oven, so that the steam oven can reach the optimal state when dinner time comes.

Heat dissipation effect feedback includes but is not limited to: device temperature of the household appliance, and heat dissipation device that has been turned on.

In this way, the user can timely understand the operation and heat dissipation of the household appliance.
