Summary of the invention

[0009] In view of this, according to the first aspect of the present application, a humidifier is proposed, comprising: a main body, the main body including a cavity; a steam generating component, arranged in the cavity; a flow guide component, the flow guide component including a first port and a second port, the first port being connected to the cavity, wherein the cavity is connected, wherein the flow guide component can adjust the distance between the first port and the second port through a telescopic action.

[0010] In this technical solution, the humidifier includes a body, a steam generating assembly and a flow guiding assembly. Among them, a cavity is provided in the body, and the cavity is used to accommodate the steam generating assembly, and the steam generating assembly can generate steam. The flow guiding assembly includes a first port and a second port, the first port is connected to the cavity, and the second port extends outside the cavity. The steam generating assembly is arranged in the cavity, and the steam generated by the steam generating assembly can be transmitted to the outside of the cavity through the flow guiding assembly, and the steam output outward from the second port can be guided through the flow guiding assembly and transmitted to the position where the humidity needs to be adjusted.

[0011] In this technical solution, the flow guide component is a telescopic flow guide component, and the flow guide component can change its own length through telescopic action, thereby adjusting the distance between the first port and the second port on the flow guide component.

[0012] In this technical solution, a guide component is arranged on the main body of the humidifier, and the guide component is connected with the cavity, so that the steam output by the steam generating component can be output outwardly through the guide component. Since the guide component is a retractable structure, the position of the steam output outwardly can be adjusted by extending or shortening the guide component, that is, the distance between the position where the steam is output outwardly and the main body can be adjusted.

[0013] It should be noted that the humidifier also includes a water storage tank, which is detachably arranged in the accommodating cavity of the main body, and the water storage tank is connected to the steam generating component, and the steam generating component can convert the liquid in the water storage tank into water vapor for output.

[0014] In this technical solution, by extending the second port of the guide component to a height corresponding to the user's breathing area, the guide component can transfer the water vapor output by the steam generating component to the user's breathing area for humidification, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0015] In the technical solution of the present application, a retractable guide component is provided on the humidifier. When the humidifier is in humidification operation, the guide component can be retracted to move the second port of the guide component to a suitable position, and humidification is performed at the position where the humidity needs to be adjusted. The humidifier can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing zone in the environment, thereby improving the user's comfort in using the humidifier.

[0016] In some technical solutions, optionally, the humidifier also includes a driving component, which is arranged on the main body and connected to the flow guide component, and the driving component is used to drive the flow guide component to extend or shorten.

[0017] In the technical solution, the humidifier is also provided with a driving component for driving the flow guide component to extend and retract, and the output end of the driving component is connected to the flow guide component, and when the driving component is running, it can drive the flow guide component to extend or shorten. In the technical solution of the present application, the humidifier is provided with a driving component that can drive the flow guide component to perform telescopic movement, and by controlling the operation of the driving component, it can drive the flow guide component to extend or shorten, so that the humidifier can automatically adjust the telescopic length of the flow guide component.

[0018] In some technical solutions, optionally, the humidifier also includes: a controller connected to the driving component, the controller is used to control the operation of the driving component according to a preset distance range, and the preset distance range is the range of the distance value between the first port and the second port.

[0019] In this technical solution, a controller is also provided in the humidifier, which can obtain a preset distance range between the first port and the second port, and control the driving component to drive the guide component to extend or shorten so that the distance between the first port and the second port is within the preset distance range.

[0020] In an embodiment of the present application, the controller can control the operation of the driving component according to the acquired preset distance range, thereby driving the guide component to extend or shorten, so that the guide component can transfer water vapor to the area where humidity needs to be adjusted through the second port.

[0021] In some technical solutions, optionally, the humidifier further includes: a first sensor and / or an operation surface panel.

[0022] A first sensor is connected to the controller, and the first sensor is used to collect a first height value of the target object, so that the controller can determine a preset distance range according to the first height value;

[0023] The operation panel is connected to the controller, and the operation panel is used to input a preset distance range.

[0024] In this technical solution, at least one of a first sensor and an operation panel is further provided in the humidifier, and the preset distance range can be determined by the first sensor or the operation panel.

[0025] In this technical solution, when a first sensor is provided in the humidifier, the first sensor can collect a first height value of the target object, and transmit the first height value to the controller, so that the controller determines a preset distance range based on the first height value. In this technical solution, when an operation panel is provided in the humidifier, a user can input a preset distance range through the operation panel, so that the user can freely set the preset distance range according to actual needs.

[0026] It should be noted that when the humidifier includes the first sensor and the operation panel, the user can select the preset distance range determined by the humidifier according to the first sensor, or can set the corresponding preset distance range by himself through the operation panel.

[0027] In the technical solution of the present application, by setting any item of the first sensor operation panel in the humidifier, the controller can determine the corresponding preset distance range based on the first height value of the target object collected by the first sensor and the user's operation input on the operation panel, thereby further improving the accuracy of controlling the extension or shortening of the telescopic guide component.

[0028] In some technical solutions, optionally, the humidifier also includes a second sensor connected to the controller, and the second sensor is arranged at the second port for collecting a first humidity value, and the first humidity value is the ambient humidity value at the second port.

[0029] In this technical solution, a second sensor is also provided in the humidifier. The second sensor is a humidity sensor. The second sensor is arranged at the second port position of the guide component and can collect the ambient humidity value at the second port position of the guide component, so that the humidifier can control the operation of the steam generating component based on the ambient humidity value at the second port of the guide component.

[0030] In the technical solution of the present application, the position of the steam output from the guide component to the outside can be adjusted by extending or shortening the guide component, that is, the humidity adjustment area corresponding to the humidifier can be set, and by setting a second sensor at the second port of the guide component, the ambient humidity of the humidity adjustment area can be collected. When the humidifier is controlled based on the second humidity value, the accuracy of controlling the steam generating component can be improved, thereby improving the accuracy of humidity regulation in the humidity adjustment area.

[0031] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first port of the flow guide component is located at the top of the main body; and the telescopic direction of the flow guide component is consistent with the height direction of the humidifier.

[0032] In this technical solution, the first port is arranged at the top of the main body, and the extension direction of the guide component is consistent with the height direction of the humidifier, that is, the guide component can be extended and retracted along the height direction of the humidifier, thereby adjusting the height of the steam output by the humidifier, and the humidity of the user's breathing area can be adjusted accordingly.

[0033] According to a second aspect of the present application, a control method for a humidifier is provided, which is applied to a humidifier in any technical solution in the first aspect. The control method for the humidifier includes:

[0034] Obtaining a preset distance range between the first port and the second port of the flow guide component;

[0035] When the flow guide component is extended to a target extended state, a first humidity value is obtained, wherein the flow guide component is in the target extended state, a distance value between the first port and the second port of the flow guide component is within a preset distance range, and the first humidity value is an ambient humidity value at the second port;

[0036] The operating power of the steam generating component is adjusted according to the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value.

[0037] The control method of a humidifier provided in the present application is used to control the operation of the humidifier, so that the humidifier can adjust the operating power of the steam generating component according to the ambient humidity at the second port of the telescopic guide component, so that the amount of steam generated by the steam generating component is more closely matched with the ambient humidity at the second port, and the steam generated by the steam generating component is transmitted to the position where the humidity needs to be adjusted through the guide component, so that the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing zone in the environment, thereby improving the user's comfort in using the humidifier.

[0038] In this technical solution, the preset distance range is the range of the distance value between the first port and the second port. When the distance value between the first port and the second port is within the preset distance range, the guide component can transmit the steam generated by the steam generating component to the area where humidity adjustment is required.

[0039] In this technical solution, when the flow guide component is in the target telescopic state, the distance value between the first port and the second port is within the preset distance range, that is, the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the area where the humidity needs to be adjusted.

[0040] It should be noted that the telescopic state of the guide component can be manually adjusted by the user, and can also be automatically adjusted by the humidifier through the driving component.

[0041] In this technical solution, the first humidity value is the ambient humidity value at the second port collected by the humidity sensor arranged at the second port of the flow guide component. The humidifier can control the operation of the steam generating component based on the ambient humidity value at the second port of the flow guide component, and the operating power of the steam generating component is controlled based on the ambient humidity value of the area where the second port is located during the humidity adjustment of the humidifier, thereby improving the accuracy of humidity adjustment in the area.

[0042] In the technical solution of the present application, the position at which the guide component outputs steam outward can be adjusted by extending or shortening the guide component, that is, the humidity adjustment area corresponding to the humidifier is set, and the ambient humidity value at the second port is obtained, and the operating power of the steam generating component is adjusted based on the ambient humidity value, thereby adjusting the ambient humidity of the area where the second port is located, thereby improving the accuracy of controlling the steam generating component and thus improving the accuracy of humidity regulation in the humidity adjustment area.

[0043] In the technical solution of the present application, a retractable guide component is provided in the humidifier, and when the guide component is in a target retractable state, the ambient humidity value at the second port of the guide component in the target retractable state is obtained, and the steam generating component is controlled based on the ambient humidity value, thereby achieving humidification of the area where the humidity needs to be adjusted, and improving the matching between the amount of steam output to the area and the ambient humidity of the area, so that the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing area in the environment, thereby improving the user's comfort in using the humidifier.

[0044] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first port is located at the top of the body of the humidifier, and the humidifier includes a first sensor, and the first sensor is used to collect a first height value of the target object;

[0045] Obtaining a preset distance range between a first port and a second port of a flow guide component includes:

[0046] Acquire a first height value collected by a first sensor;

[0047] Determine a height difference between a first height value and a second height value, wherein the second height value is a height value of the body of the humidifier;

[0048] According to the height difference, the preset distance range is determined.

[0049] In this technical solution, when a first sensor is provided in the humidifier, the first sensor can collect a first height value of the target object, and a preset distance range can be determined by combining the first height value and the second height value.

[0050] In this technical solution, the first port is set at the top of the body, and the expansion direction of the guide component is consistent with the height direction of the humidifier, that is, the guide component can be expanded and contracted along the height direction of the humidifier, thereby adjusting the height of the steam output by the humidifier, and the humidity of the user's breathing area can be adjusted accordingly. Among them, the second height value is the height value of the humidifier body pre-stored in the humidifier, and the second height value can be regarded as the distance from the first port to the bottom of the humidifier body.

[0051] In this technical solution, when the first height value is obtained, the difference between the first height value and the second height value is calculated to obtain the height difference, which is the distance value from the first port to the humidity adjustment area. The corresponding preset height range can be set according to the height difference.

[0052] In the technical solution of the present application, by setting a first sensor in the humidifier, the corresponding preset distance range can be determined according to the first height of the target object collected by the first sensor, thereby further improving the accuracy of controlling the extension or shortening of the telescopic guide component.

[0053] In some technical solutions, optionally, the humidifier further includes a driving component, and the driving component is used to drive the humidifier to extend or shorten;

[0054] When the flow guide component is extended to the target extended state, before obtaining the first humidity value collected by the first sensor, the method further includes:

[0055] The control driving component drives the flow guiding component to extend and retract to a target extension and retraction state, so that the distance between the first port and the second port of the flow guiding component is within a preset distance range.

[0056] In this technical solution, the humidifier is also provided with a driving component for driving the flow guide component to extend and retract. The output end of the driving component is connected to the flow guide component. When the driving component is running, it can drive the flow guide component to extend or shorten.

[0057] In this technical solution, when the driving component drives the guide component to extend or retract to the target extension state, it is determined that the second port of the guide component is already located in the area where humidity adjustment is required. At this time, the distance between the second port and the first port is within a preset distance range.

[0058] In the technical solution of the present application, a driving component capable of driving the guide component to perform telescopic movement is provided in the humidifier. By controlling the operation of the driving component, the guide component can be driven to extend or shorten, so that the humidifier can automatically adjust the telescopic length of the guide component.

[0059] In some technical solutions, optionally, adjusting the operating power of the steam generating component according to the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value includes:

[0060] Based on the first humidity value being less than the preset humidity value, increasing the operating power of the steam generating component until the first humidity value reaches the preset humidity value;

[0061] Based on the first humidity value being greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, the operating power of the steam generating component is reduced so that the first humidity value is within a preset humidity range, where the preset humidity range is a range determined according to the preset humidity value.

[0062] In this technical solution, when the first humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, it is determined that the ambient humidity value at the second port has not reached the preset humidity value. At this time, the humidifier needs to operate at a higher power to increase the ambient humidity. Therefore, the operating power of the steam generating component is increased at this time to improve the humidifier's efficiency in increasing the ambient humidity until the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value.

[0063] In this technical solution, when the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, it is determined that the ambient humidity at the second port has reached the preset humidity. At this time, the first humidity value needs to be maintained at the current level. Therefore, the steam generating component is controlled to lower the current operating parameters so that the first humidity value is within the preset humidity range to maintain the current ambient humidity value.

[0064] It should be noted that the preset humidity range is a range value obtained by adding or subtracting a threshold value from a preset humidity value.

[0065] In the technical solution of the present application, when the first humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, the steam generating component is controlled to increase the operating power, so that the ambient humidity value is quickly increased to the preset humidity value, thereby improving the humidity adjustment efficiency of the humidifier. When the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, the steam generating component is controlled to reduce the operating power, so that the first humidity value is maintained at the current humidity level. And based on the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value, the operating power of the steam generating component is continuously adjusted, which can further improve the real-time nature of the adjustment, and while improving the heating efficiency of the ambient humidity, it also reduces the power consumption of the entire machine.

[0066] In some technical solutions, optionally, adjusting the operating power of the steam generating component according to the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value includes:

[0067] Based on the first humidity value being less than a preset humidity value, controlling the steam generating component to operate at a first power;

[0068] Based on the first humidity value being greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, controlling the steam generating component to operate at a second power;

[0069] The first power is greater than the second power.

[0070] In this technical solution, when the first humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, it is determined that the current ambient humidity value is significantly different from the preset humidity value. At this time, the humidifier needs to humidify the ambient humidity with a higher efficiency. Therefore, the operating power is set to a larger first power to improve the efficiency of the steam generating component in outputting steam to the outside.

[0071] In this technical solution, when the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, it is determined that the difference between the current ambient humidity value and the preset humidity value is small. At this time, the humidifier maintains the current ambient humidity value, so the operating power is set to a smaller second power.

[0072] In the technical solution of the present application, when the first humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, the steam generating component is controlled to operate at a larger first power, so that the ambient humidity value is quickly increased to the preset humidity value, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the humidifier. When the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, the steam generating component is controlled to operate at a smaller second power, so that the ambient humidity value can be maintained at the current humidity level, thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the humidifier. Furthermore, the control is performed based on the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value, thereby improving the accuracy of the control and ensuring the timeliness of adjusting the operating power of the steam generating component.

[0073] In some technical solutions, optionally, the value range of the first power is 90% to 100% of the rated power, and the value range of the second power is 10% to 50% of the rated power.

[0074] In this technical solution, by setting the value range of the first power to be greater than or equal to 90% of the rated power and less than or equal to 100% of the rated power, it is possible to ensure that the steam generating component operates at a higher power, thereby improving the air humidification efficiency and not exceeding the rated power of the steam generating component, thereby avoiding failure of the steam generating component caused by excessive operation.

[0075] In this embodiment, by setting the value range of the second power to be greater than or equal to 10% of the rated power and less than or equal to 50% of the rated power, it is possible to ensure that the steam generating component operates at a lower power, thereby reducing the power consumption caused by the steam generating component, and will not completely shut down the steam generating component, thereby avoiding a rapid drop in ambient humidity.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the value range of the first power and the value range of the second power are set based on the rated power. This can improve the air humidification efficiency when the steam generating component operates at the first power without exceeding the rated power of the steam generating component. When the steam generating component operates at the second power, the steam generating component will not be completely shut down to avoid a rapid drop in ambient humidity.

[0077] According to a third aspect of the present application, a control device for a humidifier is provided, which is applied to a humidifier in any technical solution of the first aspect. The control device for the humidifier includes:

[0078] An acquisition module, used for acquiring a preset distance range between the first port and the second port of the flow guide component;

[0079] an acquisition module, configured to acquire a first humidity value when the flow guide component is extended to a target extension state, wherein the flow guide component is in the target extension state, a distance value between the first port and the second port of the flow guide component is within a preset distance range, and the first humidity value is an ambient humidity value at the second port;

[0080] The adjustment module is used to adjust the operating power of the steam generating component according to the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value.

[0081] The control device of the humidifier provided in the present application is used to control the operation of the humidifier, so that the humidifier can adjust the operating power of the steam generating component according to the ambient humidity at the second port of the telescopic guide component, so that the amount of steam generated by the steam generating component is more matched with the ambient humidity at the second port, and the steam generated by the steam generating component is transmitted to the position where the humidity needs to be adjusted through the guide component, so that the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing zone in the environment, thereby improving the user's comfort in using the humidifier.

[0082] In this technical solution, the preset distance range is the range of the distance value between the first port and the second port. When the distance value between the first port and the second port is within the preset distance range, the guide component can transmit the steam generated by the steam generating component to the area where humidity adjustment is required.

[0083] In this technical solution, when the flow guide component is in the target telescopic state, the distance value between the first port and the second port is within the preset distance range, that is, the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the area where the humidity needs to be adjusted.

[0084] It should be noted that the telescopic state of the guide component can be manually adjusted by the user, and can also be automatically adjusted by the humidifier through the driving component.

[0085] In this technical solution, the first humidity value is the ambient humidity value at the second port collected by the humidity sensor arranged at the second port of the flow guide component. The humidifier can control the operation of the steam generating component based on the ambient humidity value at the second port of the flow guide component, and the operating power of the steam generating component is controlled based on the ambient humidity value of the area where the second port is located during the humidity adjustment of the humidifier, thereby improving the accuracy of humidity adjustment in the area.

[0086] In the technical solution of the present application, the position at which the guide component outputs steam outward can be adjusted by extending or shortening the guide component, that is, the humidity adjustment area corresponding to the humidifier is set, and the ambient humidity value at the second port is obtained, and the operating power of the steam generating component is adjusted based on the ambient humidity value, thereby adjusting the ambient humidity of the area where the second port is located, thereby improving the accuracy of controlling the steam generating component and thus improving the accuracy of humidity regulation in the humidity adjustment area.

[0087] In the technical solution of the present application, a retractable guide component is provided in the humidifier, and when the guide component is in a target retractable state, the ambient humidity value at the second port of the guide component in the target retractable state is obtained, and the steam generating component is controlled based on the ambient humidity value, thereby achieving humidification of the area where the humidity needs to be adjusted, and improving the matching between the amount of steam output to the area and the ambient humidity of the area, so that the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing area in the environment, thereby improving the user's comfort in using the humidifier.

[0088] According to the fourth aspect of the present application, a control device for a humidifier is proposed, comprising: a memory, in which a program or instruction is stored; a processor, which executes the program or instruction stored in the memory to implement the steps of the control method for the humidifier in any technical solution in the second aspect, thereby having all the beneficial technical effects of the control method for the humidifier in any technical solution in the second aspect above, and no further details will be given here.

Since the guide component 130 is a retractable structure, the position where the steam is output outwardly can be adjusted by extending or shortening the guide component 130, that is, the distance between the position where the steam is output outwardly and the main body 110 can be adjusted.

[0115] It should be noted that the humidifier 100 also includes a water storage tank, which is detachably arranged in the accommodating cavity of the main body 110, and the water storage tank is connected to the steam generating component 120. The steam generating component 120 can convert the liquid in the water storage tank into water vapor for output.

[0116] In this embodiment, by extending the second port 134 of the guide component 130 to a height corresponding to the user's breathing area, the guide component 130 can transfer the water vapor output by the steam generating component 120 to the user's breathing area for humidification, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0117] In an embodiment of the present application, a retractable guide component 130 is provided on the humidifier 100. When the humidifier 100 is in humidification operation, the guide component 130 can be retracted to move the second port 134 of the guide component 130 to a suitable position, and humidification treatment is performed on the position where the humidity needs to be adjusted, so that the humidifier 100 can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing zone in the environment, thereby improving the user's comfort when using the humidifier 100.

[0118] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the humidifier 100 further includes a driving component 140, which is disposed on the body 110 and connected to the flow guide component 130, and the driving component 140 is used to drive the flow guide component 130 to extend or shorten.

[0119] In this embodiment, the humidifier 100 is also provided with a driving component 140 for driving the guide component 130 to extend and retract. The output end of the driving component 140 is connected to the guide component 130. When the driving component 140 is running, it can drive the guide component 130 to extend or shorten.

[0120] Exemplarily, the flow guide assembly 130 is a telescopic hose, and the driving assembly 140 is a push rod motor. The telescopic output end of the push rod motor is connected to the outer wall of the telescopic hose, and when the push rod motor is powered on, it can drive the telescopic hose to telescope.

[0121] Exemplarily, the flow guide assembly 130 includes a plurality of sleeve-type flow guide pipes, and the driving assembly 140 may be a small cylinder. The telescopic end of the small cylinder is connected to the sleeve located near the second port 134 of the flow guide assembly 130, and when the small cylinder performs telescopic movement, the sleeve-type flow guide pipe is driven to perform telescopic movement accordingly.

[0122] In an embodiment of the present application, the humidifier 100 is provided with a driving component 140 capable of driving the guide component 130 to perform telescopic movement. By controlling the operation of the driving component 140, the guide component 130 can be driven to extend or shorten, so that the humidifier 100 can automatically adjust the telescopic length of the guide component 130.

[0123] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the humidifier 100 also includes: a controller 150, connected to the drive component 140, and the controller 150 is used to control the operation of the drive component 140 according to a preset distance range, and the preset distance range is the range of the distance value between the first port 132 and the second port 134.

[0124] In this embodiment, a controller 150 is also provided in the humidifier 100. The controller 150 can obtain a preset distance range between the first port 132 and the second port 134, and control the driving component 140 to drive the guide component 130 to extend or shorten, so that the distance between the first port 132 and the second port 134 is within the preset distance range.

[0125] Exemplarily, the preset distance range is associated with the height value of the target object, for example, the target object is the user's body, the height value of the target object is the height of the user's body, and the preset distance range is set according to the height of the user's body. The control drive component 140 drives the second port 134 of the flow guide component 130 to move within the preset range, so that the steam output by the flow guide component 130 can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing area in the environment.

[0126] Exemplarily, the preset distance range can be set by the user according to actual needs.

[0127] In the embodiment of the present application, the controller 150 can control the operation of the driving component 140 according to the preset distance range obtained, thereby driving the guide component 130 to extend or shorten, so that the guide component 130 can transfer water vapor to the area where humidity needs to be adjusted through the second port 134.

[0128] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the humidifier 100 further includes: a first sensor 160 and / or an operation surface panel.

[0129] A first sensor 160, connected to the controller 150, and used for collecting a first height value of the target object, so that the controller 150 can determine a preset distance range according to the first height value;

[0130] The operation panel 170 is connected to the controller 150 and is used to input a preset distance range.

[0131] In this embodiment, at least one of a first sensor 160 and an operation panel 170 is further provided in the humidifier 100. The first sensor 160 or the operation panel 170 can determine a preset distance range.

[0132] In this embodiment, when the first sensor 160 is provided in the humidifier 100, the first sensor 160 can collect a first height value of the target object, and transmit the first height value to the controller 150, so that the controller 150 determines a preset distance range based on the first height value.

[0133] Exemplarily, the target object is a human body, and the first height value is the height value of the human body. The first sensor 160 may be an image sensor, which collects human body images through the image sensor, and the controller 150 determines the height value of the human body based on image recognition.

[0134] Exemplarily, the target object is a human body of a user, and the first height value is a height value of the human body of the user. The first sensor 160 may be a ranging radar, which collects distance values ​​between different parts of the human body of the user and the ranging radar through the ranging radar, and the controller 150 calculates the height value of the human body of the user based on the distance values ​​collected by the ranging radar.

[0135] In this embodiment, when the operation panel 170 is provided in the humidifier 100 , the user can input the preset distance range through the operation panel 170 , so that the user can freely set the preset distance range according to actual needs.

[0136] Exemplarily, the operation panel 170 includes a "child" button and an "adult" button. When the user triggers the "child" button, the controller 150 can call the preset distance range corresponding to the child height range, and when the user triggers the "adult" button, the controller 150 can call the preset distance range corresponding to the adult height range. The user can also directly input a height value through the operation panel 170, and the controller 150 automatically generates a corresponding preset distance range based on the height value.

[0137] It should be noted that when the humidifier 100 includes the first sensor 160 and the operation panel 170 , the user can select the preset distance range determined by the humidifier 100 according to the first sensor 160 , or can set the corresponding preset distance range by the operation panel 170 .

[0138] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting any one of the first sensor 160 and the operation panel 170 in the humidifier 100, the controller 150 can determine the corresponding preset distance range according to the first height value of the target object collected by the first sensor 160 and the user's operation input on the operation panel 170, thereby further improving the accuracy of controlling the extension or shortening of the telescopic guide component 130.

[0139] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the humidifier 100 also includes a second sensor 180 connected to the controller 150 , and the second sensor 180 is disposed at the second port 134 for collecting a first humidity value, which is an ambient humidity value at the second port 134 .

[0140] In this embodiment, a second sensor 180 is also provided in the humidifier 100. The second sensor 180 is a humidity sensor. The second sensor 180 is arranged at the second port 134 of the guide component 130, and can collect the ambient humidity value at the second port 134 of the guide component 130, so that the humidifier 100 can control the operation of the steam generating component 120 based on the ambient humidity value at the second port 134 of the guide component 130.

[0141] In an embodiment of the present application, by extending or shortening the guide component 130, the position at which the guide component 130 outputs steam can be adjusted, that is, the humidity adjustment area corresponding to the humidifier 100 is set, and by setting a second sensor 180 at the second port 134 of the guide component 130, the ambient humidity of the humidity adjustment area can be collected. When the humidifier 100 is controlled based on the second humidity value, the accuracy of controlling the steam generating component 120 can be improved, thereby improving the accuracy of humidity regulation in the humidity adjustment area.

[0142] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first port 132 of the flow guide component 130 is located at the top of the body 110 ; the telescopic direction of the flow guide component 130 is consistent with the height direction of the humidifier 100 .

[0143] like Figure 1 As shown, the extension direction A of the flow guide assembly 130 is consistent with the height direction B of the humidifier 100 .

[0144] In this embodiment, the first port 132 is arranged at the top of the main body 110, and the extension direction of the guide component 130 is consistent with the height direction of the humidifier 100, that is, the guide component 130 can be extended and retracted along the height direction of the humidifier 100, thereby adjusting the height of the steam output by the humidifier 100, and the humidity of the user's breathing area can be adjusted accordingly.

[0145] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 3 As shown, a control method for a humidifier is proposed, which is applied to the humidifier in any of the above embodiments. The control method for the humidifier includes:

[0146] Step 302, obtaining a preset distance range between a first port and a second port of a flow guiding component;

[0147] Step 304, when the flow guide component is extended to a target extended state, obtaining a first humidity value, wherein the flow guide component is in the target extended state, the distance between the first port and the second port of the flow guide component is within a preset distance range, and the first humidity value is an ambient humidity value at the second port;

[0148] Step 306: adjusting the operating power of the steam generating component according to the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value.

[0149] The control method of a humidifier provided in the present application is used to control the operation of the humidifier, so that the humidifier can adjust the operating power of the steam generating component according to the ambient humidity at the second port of the telescopic guide component, so that the amount of steam generated by the steam generating component is more closely matched with the ambient humidity at the second port, and the steam generated by the steam generating component is transmitted to the position where the humidity needs to be adjusted through the guide component, so that the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing zone in the environment, thereby improving the user's comfort in using the humidifier.

[0150] In this embodiment, the preset distance range is the range of the distance values ​​between the first port and the second port. When the distance value between the first port and the second port is within the preset distance range, the flow guide component can transmit the steam generated by the steam generating component to the area where humidity regulation is required.

[0151] Exemplarily, the preset distance range is associated with the height value of the target object, for example, the target object is the user's body, the height value of the target object is the height of the user's body, and the preset distance range is set according to the height of the user's body. The control drive component drives the second port of the flow guide component to move within the preset range, so that the steam output by the flow guide component can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing area in the environment.

[0152] Exemplarily, the preset distance range can be set by the user according to actual needs.

[0153] In this embodiment, when the flow guide component is in the target telescopic state, the distance value between the first port and the second port is within the preset distance range, that is, the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the area where the humidity needs to be adjusted.

[0154] It should be noted that the telescopic state of the guide component can be manually adjusted by the user, and can also be automatically adjusted by the humidifier through the driving component.

[0155] In this embodiment, the first humidity value is an ambient humidity value at the second port collected by a humidity sensor disposed at the second port of the flow guide component. The humidifier can control the operation of the steam generating component based on the ambient humidity value at the second port of the flow guide component, and in the process of the humidifier regulating the humidity of the area where the second port is located, the operating power of the steam generating component is controlled based on the ambient humidity value of the area, thereby improving the accuracy of humidity regulation in the area.

[0156] In an embodiment of the present application, the position at which the guide component outputs steam outward can be adjusted by extending or shortening the guide component, that is, the humidity adjustment area corresponding to the humidifier is set, and the ambient humidity value at the second port is obtained, and the operating power of the steam generating component is adjusted based on the ambient humidity value, thereby adjusting the ambient humidity of the area where the second port is located, thereby improving the accuracy of controlling the steam generating component and thus improving the accuracy of humidity regulation in the humidity adjustment area.

[0157] In an embodiment of the present application, a retractable guide component is provided in the humidifier, and when the guide component is in a target retractable state, the ambient humidity value at the second port of the guide component in the target retractable state is obtained, and the steam generating component is controlled based on the ambient humidity value, thereby achieving humidification of the area where the humidity needs to be adjusted, and improving the matching between the amount of steam output to the area and the ambient humidity of the area, so that the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing area in the environment, thereby improving the user's comfort in using the humidifier.

[0158] In some embodiments, optionally, the first port is located at the top of the body of the humidifier, and the humidifier includes a first sensor, and the first sensor is used to collect a first height value of the target object;

[0159] Obtaining a preset distance range between a first port and a second port of a flow guide component includes:

[0160] Acquire a first height value collected by a first sensor;

[0161] Determine a height difference between a first height value and a second height value, wherein the second height value is a height value of the body of the humidifier;

[0162] According to the height difference, the preset distance range is determined.

[0163] In this embodiment, when the first sensor is provided in the humidifier, the first sensor can collect a first height value of the target object, and a preset distance range can be determined by comparing the first height value with the second height value.

[0164] Exemplarily, the target object is a human body of a user, and the first height value is a height value of the human body of the user. The first sensor may be an image sensor, and a human body image is collected by the image sensor, and the controller determines the height value of the human body based on image recognition.

[0165] Exemplarily, the target object is a human body of a user, and the first height value is a height value of the human body of the user. The first sensor may be a ranging radar, which collects distance values ​​between different parts of the human body of the user and the ranging radar, and the controller calculates the height value of the human body of the user based on the distance values ​​collected by the ranging radar.

[0166] In this embodiment, the first port is arranged at the top of the body, and the expansion direction of the flow guide component is consistent with the height direction of the humidifier, that is, the flow guide component can be expanded and contracted along the height direction of the humidifier, thereby adjusting the height of the steam output by the humidifier, and the humidity of the user's breathing area can be adjusted accordingly. Among them, the second height value is the height value of the humidifier body pre-stored in the humidifier, and the second height value can be regarded as the distance from the first port to the bottom of the humidifier body.

[0167] In this embodiment, when the first height value is obtained, the difference between the first height value and the second height value is calculated to obtain the height difference, which is the distance value from the first port to the humidity adjustment area. The corresponding preset height range can be set according to the height difference.

[0168] like Figure 4 As shown, exemplarily, the second height value is H1, the first height value is H0, the height difference is H0-H1, the preset height range is H1+d1 to H1+d2, d1≤H0-H1, and d2≥H0-H1. For example, the value ranges of d1 and d2 are both 5 cm to 10 cm.

[0169] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting a first sensor in the humidifier, the corresponding preset distance range can be determined according to the first height of the target object collected by the first sensor, thereby further improving the accuracy of controlling the extension or shortening of the telescopic guide component.

[0170] In some embodiments, optionally, the humidifier further comprises a driving component, the driving component being used to drive the humidifier to extend or shorten;

[0171] When the flow guide component is extended to the target extended state, before obtaining the first humidity value collected by the first sensor, the method further includes:

[0172] The control driving component drives the flow guiding component to extend and retract to a target extension and retraction state, so that the distance between the first port and the second port of the flow guiding component is within a preset distance range.

[0173] In this embodiment, the humidifier is further provided with a driving component for driving the flow guide component to extend and retract. The output end of the driving component is connected to the flow guide component. When the driving component is running, it can drive the flow guide component to extend or shorten.

[0174] Exemplarily, the flow guide component is a telescopic hose, and the driving component can be a push rod motor. The telescopic output end of the push rod motor is connected to the outer wall of the telescopic hose, and when the push rod motor is powered on, it can drive the telescopic hose to telescope.

[0175] Exemplarily, the flow guide assembly includes a plurality of sleeve-type flow guide pipes, and the driving assembly can be a small cylinder. The telescopic end of the small cylinder is connected to the sleeve located near the second port of the flow guide assembly, and when the small cylinder performs telescopic movement, the sleeve-type flow guide pipe is driven to perform telescopic movement accordingly.

[0176] In this embodiment, when the driving component drives the guide component to extend or retract to the target extension state, it is determined that the second port of the guide component is already located in the area where humidity adjustment is required. At this time, the distance between the second port and the first port is within a preset distance range.

[0177] In an embodiment of the present application, a driving component capable of driving the guide component to perform telescopic movement is provided in the humidifier. By controlling the operation of the driving component, the guide component can be driven to extend or shorten, so that the humidifier can automatically adjust the telescopic length of the guide component.

[0178] In some embodiments, optionally, adjusting the operating power of the steam generating component according to the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value includes:

[0179] Based on the first humidity value being less than the preset humidity value, increasing the operating power of the steam generating component until the first humidity value reaches the preset humidity value;

[0180] Based on the first humidity value being greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, the operating power of the steam generating component is reduced so that the first humidity value is within a preset humidity range, where the preset humidity range is a range determined according to the preset humidity value.

[0181] In this embodiment, when the first humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, it is determined that the ambient humidity value at the second port has not reached the preset humidity value. At this time, the humidifier needs to operate at a higher power to increase the ambient humidity. Therefore, the operating power of the steam generating component is increased at this time to improve the humidifier's efficiency in increasing the ambient humidity until the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value.

[0182] In this embodiment, when the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, it is determined that the ambient humidity at the second port has reached the preset humidity. At this time, the first humidity value needs to be maintained at the current level. Therefore, the steam generating component is controlled to lower the current operating parameters so that the first humidity value is within the preset humidity range to maintain the current ambient humidity value.

[0183] It should be noted that the preset humidity range is a range value obtained by adding or subtracting a threshold value from a preset humidity value.

[0184] Exemplarily, the preset humidity value is R1, and the preset humidity range is R1-10% to R1+10%. For example, if the preset humidity value is 50%, the preset humidity range is 40% to 60%.

[0185] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, the steam generating component is controlled to increase the operating power to operate, so that the ambient humidity value is quickly increased to the preset humidity value, thereby improving the humidity adjustment efficiency of the humidifier. When the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, the steam generating component is controlled to reduce the operating power, so that the first humidity value is maintained at the current humidity level. And the operating power of the steam generating component is continuously adjusted based on the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value, which can further improve the real-time performance of the adjustment, and while improving the heating efficiency of the ambient humidity, it also reduces the power consumption of the entire machine.

[0186] In some embodiments, optionally, adjusting the operating power of the steam generating component according to the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value includes:

[0187] Based on the first humidity value being less than a preset humidity value, controlling the steam generating component to operate at a first power;

[0188] Based on the first humidity value being greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, controlling the steam generating component to operate at a second power;

[0189] The first power is greater than the second power.

[0190] In this embodiment, when the first humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, it is determined that the current ambient humidity value is significantly different from the preset humidity value. At this time, the humidifier needs to humidify the ambient humidity with a higher efficiency. Therefore, the operating power is set to a larger first power to improve the efficiency of the steam generating component in outputting steam to the outside.

[0191] In this embodiment, when the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, it is determined that the difference between the current ambient humidity value and the preset humidity value is small. At this time, the humidifier maintains the current ambient humidity value, so the operating power is set to a smaller second power.

[0192] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, the steam generating component is controlled to operate at a larger first power, so that the ambient humidity value is quickly increased to the preset humidity value, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the humidifier. When the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, the steam generating component is controlled to operate at a smaller second power, so that the ambient humidity value can be maintained at the current humidity level, thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the humidifier. Furthermore, the control is performed based on the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value, thereby improving the accuracy of the control and ensuring the timeliness of adjusting the operating power of the steam generating component.

[0193] In some embodiments, optionally, the first power has a value range of 90% to 100% of the rated power, and the second power has a value range of 10% to 50% of the rated power.

[0194] In this embodiment, by setting the value range of the first power to be greater than or equal to 90% of the rated power and less than or equal to 100% of the rated power, it is possible to ensure that the steam generating component operates at a higher power, thereby improving the air humidification efficiency and not exceeding the rated power of the steam generating component, thereby avoiding failure of the steam generating component caused by excessive operation.

[0195] In this embodiment, by setting the value range of the second power to be greater than or equal to 10% of the rated power and less than or equal to 50% of the rated power, it is possible to ensure that the steam generating component operates at a lower power, thereby reducing the power consumption caused by the steam generating component, and will not completely shut down the steam generating component, thereby avoiding a rapid drop in ambient humidity.

[0196] In the embodiment of the present application, the value range of the first power and the value range of the second power are set based on the rated power. This can improve the air humidification efficiency when the steam generating component operates at the first power without exceeding the rated power of the steam generating component. When the steam generating component operates at the second power, the steam generating component will not be completely shut down to avoid a rapid drop in ambient humidity.

[0197] like Figure 5As shown, the control method of the humidifier includes:

[0198] Step 502, turning on the humidifier;

[0199] In the embodiment of the present application, the humidifier is controlled to start running, and at this time, the steam generating component remains in a standby state.

[0200] Step 504, setting a preset humidity value;

[0201] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can set a preset humidity value, or set the preset humidity value by setting a preset operating mode.

[0202] Step 506, adjusting the height of the second port of the flow guide assembly;

[0203] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can manually adjust the height of the guide component, and can also electrically adjust the height of the guide component through the humidifier.

[0204] Step 508, the humidity sensor collects the ambient humidity value of the second port;

[0205] The ambient humidity value of the second port is the first humidity value in any of the above embodiments.

[0206] Step 510, determining whether the ambient humidity value is less than a preset humidity value, if the determination result is yes, executing step 512, otherwise executing step 514;

[0207] Step 512, high power operation;

[0208] Step 514, low power operation;

[0209] Step 516: The ambient humidity value is maintained within a preset humidity range.

[0210] In an embodiment of the present application, a retractable guide component is provided in the humidifier, and when the guide component is in a target retractable state, the ambient humidity value at the second port of the guide component in the target retractable state is obtained, and the steam generating component is controlled based on the ambient humidity value, thereby achieving humidification of the area where the humidity needs to be adjusted, and improving the matching between the amount of steam output to the area and the ambient humidity of the area, so that the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing area in the environment, thereby improving the user's comfort in using the humidifier.

[0211] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 6 As shown, a humidifier control device is proposed, which is applied to the humidifier in any of the above embodiments. The humidifier control device 600 includes:

[0212] An acquisition module 602 is used to acquire a preset distance range between a first port and a second port of a flow guiding component;

[0213] An acquisition module 602 is used to acquire a first humidity value when the flow guide component is extended to a target extension state, wherein the flow guide component is in the target extension state, the distance value between the first port and the second port of the flow guide component is within a preset distance range, and the first humidity value is an ambient humidity value at the second port;

[0214] The adjustment module 604 is used to adjust the operating power of the steam generating component according to the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value.

[0215] The control device 600 of the humidifier provided in the present application is used to control the operation of the humidifier, so that the humidifier can adjust the operating power of the steam generating component according to the ambient humidity at the second port of the telescopic guide component, so that the amount of steam generated by the steam generating component is more matched with the ambient humidity at the second port, and the steam generated by the steam generating component is transmitted to the position where the humidity needs to be adjusted through the guide component, so that the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing zone in the environment, thereby improving the user's comfort in using the humidifier.

[0216] In this technical solution, the preset distance range is the range of the distance value between the first port and the second port. When the distance value between the first port and the second port is within the preset distance range, the guide component can transmit the steam generated by the steam generating component to the area where humidity adjustment is required.

[0217] Exemplarily, the preset distance range is associated with the height value of the target object, for example, the target object is the user's body, the height value of the target object is the height of the user's body, and the preset distance range is set according to the height of the user's body. The control drive component drives the second port of the flow guide component to move within the preset range, so that the steam output by the flow guide component can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing area in the environment.

[0218] Exemplarily, the preset distance range can be set by the user according to actual needs.

[0219] In this technical solution, when the flow guide component is in the target telescopic state, the distance value between the first port and the second port is within the preset distance range, that is, the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the area where the humidity needs to be adjusted.

[0220] It should be noted that the telescopic state of the guide component can be manually adjusted by the user, and can also be automatically adjusted by the humidifier through the driving component.

[0221] In this technical solution, the first humidity value is the ambient humidity value at the second port collected by the humidity sensor arranged at the second port of the flow guide component. The humidifier can control the operation of the steam generating component based on the ambient humidity value at the second port of the flow guide component, and the operating power of the steam generating component is controlled based on the ambient humidity value of the area where the second port is located during the humidity adjustment of the humidifier, thereby improving the accuracy of humidity adjustment in the area.

[0222] In the technical solution of the present application, the position at which the guide component outputs steam outward can be adjusted by extending or shortening the guide component, that is, the humidity adjustment area corresponding to the humidifier is set, and the ambient humidity value at the second port is obtained, and the operating power of the steam generating component is adjusted based on the ambient humidity value, thereby adjusting the ambient humidity of the area where the second port is located, thereby improving the accuracy of controlling the steam generating component and thus improving the accuracy of humidity regulation in the humidity adjustment area.

[0223] In the technical solution of the present application, a retractable guide component is provided in the humidifier, and when the guide component is in a target retractable state, the ambient humidity value at the second port of the guide component in the target retractable state is obtained, and the steam generating component is controlled based on the ambient humidity value, thereby achieving humidification of the area where the humidity needs to be adjusted, and improving the matching between the amount of steam output to the area and the ambient humidity of the area, so that the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the user's breathing area in the environment, thereby improving the user's comfort in using the humidifier.

[0224] In some embodiments, optionally, the first port of the humidifier is located at the top of the body of the humidifier, and the humidifier includes a first sensor, and the first sensor is used to collect a first height value of the target object;

[0225] An acquisition module 602 is used to acquire a first height value collected by a first sensor;

[0226] The control device 600 of the humidifier further includes:

[0227] A determination module, configured to determine a height difference between a first height value and a second height value, wherein the second height value is a height value of a body of the humidifier;

[0228] The determination module is used to determine a preset distance range according to the height difference.

[0229] In this embodiment, when the first sensor is provided in the humidifier, the first sensor can collect a first height value of the target object, and a preset distance range can be determined by comparing the first height value with the second height value.

[0230] In this embodiment, the first port is arranged at the top of the body, and the expansion direction of the flow guide component is consistent with the height direction of the humidifier, that is, the flow guide component can be expanded and contracted along the height direction of the humidifier, thereby adjusting the height of the steam output by the humidifier, and the humidity of the user's breathing area can be adjusted accordingly. Among them, the second height value is the height value of the humidifier body pre-stored in the humidifier, and the second height value can be regarded as the distance from the first port to the bottom of the humidifier body.

[0231] In this embodiment, when the first height value is obtained, the difference between the first height value and the second height value is calculated to obtain the height difference, which is the distance value from the first port to the humidity adjustment area. The corresponding preset height range can be set according to the height difference.

[0232] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting a first sensor in the humidifier, the corresponding preset distance range can be determined according to the first height of the target object collected by the first sensor, thereby further improving the accuracy of controlling the extension or shortening of the telescopic guide component.

[0233] In some embodiments, optionally, the humidifier further comprises a driving component, the driving component being used to drive the humidifier to extend or shorten;

[0234] The control module is used to control the driving component to drive the flow guide component to extend and retract to a target extension state, so that the distance between the first port and the second port of the flow guide component is within a preset distance range.

[0235] In this embodiment, the humidifier is further provided with a driving component for driving the flow guide component to extend and retract. The output end of the driving component is connected to the flow guide component. When the driving component is running, it can drive the flow guide component to extend or shorten.

[0236] In this embodiment, when the driving component drives the guide component to extend or retract to the target extension state, it is determined that the second port of the guide component is already located in the area where humidity adjustment is required. At this time, the distance between the second port and the first port is within a preset distance range.

[0237] In an embodiment of the present application, a driving component capable of driving the guide component to perform telescopic movement is provided in the humidifier. By controlling the operation of the driving component, the guide component can be driven to extend or shorten, so that the humidifier can automatically adjust the telescopic length of the guide component.

[0238] In some embodiments, optionally, the adjustment module 604 is configured to increase the operating power of the steam generating component based on the first humidity value being less than the preset humidity value, until the first humidity value reaches the preset humidity value;

[0239] The adjustment module 604 is used to reduce the operating power of the steam generating component based on the first humidity value being greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, so that the first humidity value is within a preset humidity range, and the preset humidity range is a range determined according to the preset humidity value.

[0240] In this embodiment, when the first humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, it is determined that the ambient humidity value at the second port has not reached the preset humidity value. At this time, the humidifier needs to operate at a higher power to increase the ambient humidity. Therefore, the operating power of the steam generating component is increased at this time to improve the humidifier's efficiency in increasing the ambient humidity until the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value.

[0241] In this embodiment, when the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, it is determined that the ambient humidity at the second port has reached the preset humidity. At this time, the first humidity value needs to be maintained at the current level. Therefore, the steam generating component is controlled to lower the current operating parameters so that the first humidity value is within the preset humidity range to maintain the current ambient humidity value.

[0242] It should be noted that the preset humidity range is a range value obtained by adding or subtracting a threshold value from a preset humidity value.

[0243] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, the steam generating component is controlled to increase the operating power to operate, so that the ambient humidity value is quickly increased to the preset humidity value, thereby improving the humidity adjustment efficiency of the humidifier. When the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, the steam generating component is controlled to reduce the operating power, so that the first humidity value is maintained at the current humidity level. And the operating power of the steam generating component is continuously adjusted based on the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value, which can further improve the real-time performance of the adjustment, and while improving the heating efficiency of the ambient humidity, it also reduces the power consumption of the entire machine.

[0244] In some embodiments, optionally, the control module is used to control the steam generating component to operate at a first power based on the first humidity value being less than a preset humidity value;

[0245] A control module, configured to control the steam generating component to operate at a second power based on the first humidity value being greater than or equal to a preset humidity value;

[0246] The first power is greater than the second power.

[0247] In this embodiment, when the first humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, it is determined that the current ambient humidity value is significantly different from the preset humidity value. At this time, the humidifier needs to humidify the ambient humidity with a higher efficiency. Therefore, the operating power is set to a larger first power to improve the efficiency of the steam generating component in outputting steam to the outside.

[0248] In this embodiment, when the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, it is determined that the difference between the current ambient humidity value and the preset humidity value is small. At this time, the humidifier maintains the current ambient humidity value, so the operating power is set to a smaller second power.

[0249] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, the steam generating component is controlled to operate at a larger first power, so that the ambient humidity value is quickly increased to the preset humidity value, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the humidifier. When the first humidity value is greater than or equal to the preset humidity value, the steam generating component is controlled to operate at a smaller second power, so that the ambient humidity value can be maintained at the current humidity level, thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the humidifier. Furthermore, the control is performed based on the numerical relationship between the first humidity value and the preset humidity value, thereby improving the accuracy of the control and ensuring the timeliness of adjusting the operating power of the steam generating component.

[0250] In some embodiments, optionally, the first power has a value range of 90% to 100% of the rated power, and the second power has a value range of 10% to 50% of the rated power.

[0251] In this embodiment, by setting the value range of the first power to be greater than or equal to 90% of the rated power and less than or equal to 100% of the rated power, it is possible to ensure that the steam generating component operates at a higher power, thereby improving the air humidification efficiency and not exceeding the rated power of the steam generating component, thereby avoiding failure of the steam generating component caused by excessive operation.

[0252] In this embodiment, by setting the value range of the second power to be greater than or equal to 10% of the rated power and less than or equal to 50% of the rated power, it is possible to ensure that the steam generating component operates at a lower power, thereby reducing the power consumption caused by the steam generating component, and will not completely shut down the steam generating component, thereby avoiding a rapid drop in ambient humidity.

[0253] In the embodiment of the present application, the value range of the first power and the value range of the second power are set based on the rated power. This can improve the air humidification efficiency when the steam generating component operates at the first power without exceeding the rated power of the steam generating component. When the steam generating component operates at the second power, the steam generating component will not be completely shut down to avoid a rapid drop in ambient humidity.
