[0003] However, traditional heaters usually only make single adjustments based on the ambient temperature, ignoring the different states and needs of users during use. For example, the user's temperature and wind speed requirements for the heater are completely different in a quiet state (such as reading) and an active state (such as exercising or playing competitive games). In a quiet state, the user may need a higher temperature and gentle airflow, while in an active state, the user may prefer a lower temperature and faster airflow.

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] The embodiment of the present invention is applicable to scenarios where a user uses a fan heater to adjust the indoor temperature, such as home places, office places, and public places. The embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a fan heater, which achieves the effect of adaptive adjustment of the fan heater by determining the corresponding target temperature and target wind speed under different working modes.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a control method embodiment of a heater is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0043] In this embodiment, a control method for a heater is provided, which can be used in a control logic unit of the heater, such as a mainboard or a microprocessor. Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a heater according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S101, determining the currently selected working mode, the working modes include: quiet mode, general mode, competitive mode, sports mode and adaptive adjustment mode.

[0045] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the heater is provided with a user interaction interface. Before using the heater, the user selects the current working mode through the touch screen or physical buttons of the user interaction interface. To meet the personalized use needs of the user, the heater provides four relatively fixed working modes: quiet mode, general mode, competitive mode and sports mode, and a flexible working mode: adaptive adjustment mode. If the user does not select a working mode, it will operate in the general mode. Among them, the quiet mode is suitable for sleeping at night or in an environment requiring low noise. The temperature range is 20℃~22℃, and the wind speed is low, such as level 1 wind. The working characteristics are low noise and low wind speed, so as to ensure comfort during sleep; the general mode is suitable for daily home or office environment, the temperature range is 24℃~26℃, and the wind speed is medium speed, such as level 3 wind. The working characteristic is to balance the temperature and wind speed to provide a comfortable use experience; the competitive mode is suitable for high-intensity activities or sports, the temperature range is 28℃~30℃, and the wind speed is high speed, such as level 5 wind. The working characteristic is to provide higher temperature and wind speed, quickly increase the ambient temperature, and is suitable for quickly restoring body temperature after exercise; the sports mode is suitable for home fitness, the temperature range is 26℃~38℃, and the wind speed is medium and high speed, such as level 4 wind. The working characteristic is to provide moderate temperature and wind speed to help users stay comfortable during exercise; in the adaptive adjustment mode, the mode can be switched between four relatively fixed working modes according to the user status, and the corresponding temperature and wind speed can be adjusted after the mode is switched. Among them, different levels of wind speed are set according to the maximum wind speed of the heater, such as level 1 to level 5, and different levels of wind speed correspond to a wind speed range, for example, level 1 corresponds to 0% to 20% of the maximum wind speed, which is only an example and is not limited to this.

[0046] Step S102, obtaining the current ambient temperature and the distance between the heater and the user, and determining the target temperature and target wind speed according to the working mode, ambient temperature and distance.

[0047] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to provide a comfortable environment for the user, the temperature and wind speed of the warm air need to be adjusted according to the current ambient temperature and the distance between the heater and the user. Therefore, the heater pre-deploys a temperature sensor and a distance sensor, which are used to collect the ambient temperature and the distance between the heater and the user, respectively. Figure 2As shown. After the current working mode is determined, the temperature sensor and the distance sensor collect the current ambient temperature and distance interval, so as to determine the target temperature and target wind speed according to the working mode, ambient temperature and distance interval. Different working modes correspond to different temperature ranges and wind speed ranges. The embodiment of the present invention can adaptively adjust the temperature and wind speed of the warm air output under different working modes. In general, for the setting of the target temperature, the larger the distance interval between the ambient temperature and the temperature range, including exceeding the temperature range or being lower than the temperature range, the larger the target temperature is set within the temperature range, but the target temperature is always within the temperature range; and for the setting of the target wind speed, the larger the distance interval between the user and the heater, the greater the target wind speed, and the closer the distance, the smaller the target wind speed, but the target wind speed is always within the corresponding wind speed range.

[0048] Step S103: output warm air according to the target temperature and target wind speed.

[0049] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the target temperature and target wind speed are determined, when the warm air is output, the temperature of the warm air will have a certain error relative to the target temperature, for example, a temperature error of 1°C higher, so as to ensure that the temperature of the environment can reach the target temperature. When the heating module of the heater works according to the target temperature + temperature error, and outputs warm air at the target wind speed through the fan module, the ambient temperature will begin to change and gradually approach the target temperature, ultimately providing the user with a reasonable and comfortable environment, meeting the user's personalized use status and use needs, and improving the user's use experience and satisfaction.

[0050] The control method of the air heater provided in the embodiment of the present invention sets working modes including quiet mode, general mode, competitive mode, sports mode and adaptive adjustment mode, determines the target temperature and target wind speed according to the currently selected working mode, the current ambient temperature and the distance interval between the air heater and the user, and outputs warm air according to the target temperature and target wind speed. By setting different working modes, the present invention can adaptively adjust the temperature and wind speed of the output warm air, meet the user's personalized use status and use needs, and improve the user's use experience and satisfaction.

[0051] In this embodiment, a control method for a heater is provided, which can be used in a control logic unit of the heater, such as a mainboard or a microprocessor. Figure 3 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a heater according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0052] Step S301, determine the currently selected working mode, which includes: quiet mode, general mode, competitive mode, sports mode and adaptive adjustment mode. Figure 1Step S101 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Step S302, obtaining the current ambient temperature and the distance between the heater and the user, and determining the target temperature and target wind speed according to the working mode, ambient temperature and distance.

[0054] Specifically, the above step S302 includes:

[0055] Step S3021, if the working mode is any one of the quiet mode, the general mode, the competitive mode or the sports mode, then the temperature range and the wind speed range corresponding to the working mode are obtained.

[0056] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, different temperature ranges and wind speed ranges are pre-set for the quiet mode, general mode, competitive mode and sports mode according to the user's use requirements. When the user selects a specific working mode, the preset temperature range and wind speed range are directly mapped, wherein the temperature ranges and wind speed ranges under various working modes are shown in the following table:

[0057] Working Mode Temperature range Wind speed range Quiet Mode 20℃-22℃ Level 1 General Mode 24℃-26℃ Level 3 Competitive Mode 28℃-30℃ Level 5 Sport Mode 26℃-28℃ Level 4

[0058] Step S3022, determining the target temperature and target wind speed according to the ambient temperature, distance interval, temperature range and wind speed range.

[0059] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the ambient temperature and distance interval collected by the temperature sensor and the distance sensor are obtained respectively, so that different target temperatures and target ranges are set in different working modes according to the ambient temperature and the distance interval, so that users can make choices based on their own usage status, thereby accurately meeting the user's usage needs and providing users with a better usage experience.

[0060] In some optional implementations, the above step S3022 includes:

[0061] Step a1, comparing the ambient temperature with the lower temperature limit and the upper temperature limit of the temperature range to determine whether the ambient temperature is lower than the lower temperature limit or higher than the upper temperature limit.

[0062] Step a2: If the temperature is lower than the lower temperature limit or higher than the upper temperature limit, the temperature difference between the ambient temperature and the lower temperature limit or the upper temperature limit is calculated, and the target temperature is determined based on a preset algorithm and the temperature difference. If the temperature is within the temperature range, the target temperature is set to the ambient temperature.

[0063] Step a3, comparing the distance interval with a preset distance threshold, and determining a target wind speed based on the comparison result and the wind speed range.

[0064] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, for the setting of the target temperature, in any working mode, the current ambient temperature is compared with the temperature upper limit and temperature lower limit of the corresponding temperature range respectively to determine whether it is within the temperature range. If the ambient temperature is higher than the temperature lower limit and lower than the temperature upper limit, it is within the temperature range, and the ambient temperature is directly used as the target temperature. If it is not within the temperature range, and the ambient temperature is higher than the temperature upper limit of the temperature range, the temperature difference between the ambient temperature and the temperature upper limit is calculated, and the target temperature is determined by the PID algorithm and the temperature difference, wherein the target temperature is within the temperature range, and the greater the temperature difference, the closer the target temperature is to the temperature lower limit, so that the ambient temperature can be quickly adjusted to the temperature range; if the ambient temperature is lower than the temperature lower limit of the temperature range, the temperature difference between the temperature lower limit and the ambient temperature is calculated, and the target temperature is determined by the PID algorithm and the temperature difference, wherein the target temperature is also within the temperature range, and the greater the temperature difference, the closer the target temperature is to the temperature upper limit, so that the ambient temperature can be quickly adjusted to the temperature range. For example, if the current ambient temperature is 20°C and the user selects the general mode, then the target temperature is set to 25°C based on the temperature range of 24°C to 26°C, which is only used as an example and is not limited to this. The PID algorithm used is a commonly used algorithm in closed-loop control systems. PID is the abbreviation of Proportion, Integral and Differential. It is a closed-loop control algorithm that combines the three links of proportion, integration and differentiation. In the closed-loop control system, a feedback loop is introduced to control the target temperature by using the deviation between the output target temperature and the input ambient temperature to avoid exceeding the temperature range.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, for setting the target wind speed, the embodiment of the present invention compares the distance interval between the heater and the user with the preset distance threshold, and sets the target wind speed according to the comparison result and the wind speed range corresponding to the working mode, so as to avoid the heat failing to reach the user when the distance is too far, or the wind feeling being too strong when the distance is too close. For example, 1 meter, 3 meters, and 5 meters are used as preset distance thresholds. If the wind speed range is level 3 in the general mode, the corresponding wind speed range is 40% to 60% of the maximum wind speed. At the same time, it is detected that the distance interval is 2 meters, which is greater than 1 meter and less than 3 meters, then it proves that the distance between the user and the heater is medium. At this time, the target wind speed needs to be set to the middle wind speed value within the wind speed range corresponding to level 3 wind, and there is no need to adjust the wind speed significantly. For example, the target wind speed is set to 50% of the maximum wind speed. This is only an example and is not limited to this.

[0066] In some optional implementations, the user may manually set and adjust the target temperature and target wind speed through a user interaction interface to more accurately meet the user's usage status.

[0067] Step S303: output warm air according to the target temperature and target wind speed.

[0068] Step S304, obtain the real-time ambient temperature and the real-time distance interval, and determine whether the ambient temperature and the distance interval have changed; if the ambient temperature has changed, adjust the target temperature based on the temperature range, and / or if the distance interval has changed, adjust the target wind speed based on the wind speed range.

[0069] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the ambient temperature and the distance interval between the user and the heater are monitored in real time. If it is determined that the ambient temperature has changed, the target temperature is adjusted based on the PID algorithm, but the target temperature is still within the temperature range. Similarly, if it is determined that the distance interval has changed, the distance interval is compared with the preset distance threshold to adjust the target wind speed, and the target wind speed is still within the wind speed range. At this time, the adaptive adjustment of temperature and wind speed belongs to a small range adjustment, which is to adapt to the environmental changes and position changes of the user in a relatively fixed state, so as to provide the user with the best user experience. The embodiment of the present invention can reduce energy consumption to a certain extent and improve the energy efficiency ratio of the heater through reasonable temperature and wind speed adjustment.

[0070] The control method of the air heater provided in the embodiment of the present invention sets working modes including quiet mode, general mode, competitive mode, sports mode and adaptive adjustment mode, determines the target temperature and target wind speed according to the currently selected working mode, the current ambient temperature and the distance interval between the air heater and the user, and outputs warm air according to the target temperature and target wind speed. By setting different working modes, the present invention can adaptively adjust the temperature and wind speed of the output warm air, meet the user's personalized use status and use needs, and improve the user's use experience and satisfaction.

[0071] In this embodiment, a control method for a heater is provided, which can be used in a control logic unit of the heater, such as a mainboard or a microprocessor. Figure 4 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a heater according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0072] Step S401, determine the currently selected working mode, which includes: quiet mode, general mode, competitive mode, sports mode and adaptive adjustment mode. Figure 3 Step S301 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0073] Step S402, obtaining the current ambient temperature and the distance between the heater and the user, and determining the target temperature and target wind speed according to the working mode, ambient temperature and distance.

[0074] Specifically, the above step S402 includes:

[0075] Step S4021: If the working mode is the adaptive adjustment mode, the acceleration information of the user is obtained, and the activity state of the user is determined according to the acceleration information.

[0076] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, if the working mode selected by the user is an adaptive adjustment mode, the working mode can be adjusted during operation, but it will not be fixed to a certain working mode at this time, but will be adaptively adjusted based on changes in the user's usage status. In order to monitor changes in the user's usage status, the heater is equipped with a human body sensor that can continuously collect the user's coordinate changes on the three axes of X, Y, and Z, thereby calculating the user's acceleration data on the three axes of X, Y, and Z, and determining the intensity and frequency of the user's activity based on the acceleration information, thereby determining the user's activity status, such as whether the user is in a sleeping state, a quiet state, or a moving state.

[0077] Step S4022, adjusting the working mode to quiet mode, general mode, competitive mode or sports mode according to the activity status, and obtaining the temperature range and wind speed range corresponding to the working mode.

[0078] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, in the initial stage of the adaptive adjustment mode, the working mode of the heater is adjusted to quiet mode, general mode, competitive mode or sports mode according to the detected current activity status of the user, so as to meet the current activity intensity of the user to ensure that the best user experience is always provided.

[0079] Step S4023, determining the target temperature and target wind speed according to the ambient temperature, distance interval, temperature range and wind speed range.

[0080] Specifically, the above step S4023 includes:

[0081] Step b1, compare the ambient temperature with the lower temperature limit and the upper temperature limit of the temperature range to determine whether the ambient temperature is lower than the lower temperature limit or higher than the upper temperature limit. Figure 3 Step S3022 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0082] Step b2: If the temperature is lower than the lower temperature limit or higher than the upper temperature limit, the temperature difference between the ambient temperature and the lower temperature limit or the upper temperature limit is calculated, and the target temperature is determined based on the preset algorithm and the temperature difference. If the temperature is within the temperature range, the target temperature is set to the ambient temperature. Figure 3 Step S3022 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0083] Step b3, compare the distance interval with the preset distance threshold, and determine the target wind speed based on the comparison result and the wind speed range. Figure 3 Step S3022 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0084] Step S403: Output warm air according to the target temperature and target wind speed. Figure 3 Step S303 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0085] Step S404, obtain real-time acceleration information, and determine whether the activity state has changed based on the acceleration information; if the activity state has changed, adjust the working mode and return to the step of determining the target temperature and target wind speed according to the working mode, ambient temperature and distance interval.

[0086] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the acceleration information of the user is monitored in real time to determine whether the user's activity state has changed, thereby realizing adaptive working mode adjustment. For example, if the user performs pre-sleep exercise before going to bed, the heater is first adaptively adjusted to the exercise mode. After the user goes to bed, the heater is adaptively adjusted to the sleep mode. This is only an example and is not limited to this. When the working mode is determined, the temperature range and wind speed range corresponding to the working mode are determined, so as to determine the target temperature and target wind speed according to the current ambient temperature and distance interval, and the temperature range and wind speed range, so as to realize adaptive temperature adjustment and adaptive wind speed adjustment in the working mode. By adaptively adjusting the working mode, the intelligence of the heater can be enhanced, making it more suitable for the actual use scenario of the user, thereby meeting the personalized needs of the user in different states and significantly improving the user's use experience.

[0087] The control method of the air heater provided in the embodiment of the present invention sets working modes including quiet mode, general mode, competitive mode, sports mode and adaptive adjustment mode, determines the target temperature and target wind speed according to the currently selected working mode, the current ambient temperature and the distance interval between the air heater and the user, and outputs warm air according to the target temperature and target wind speed. By setting different working modes, the present invention can adaptively adjust the temperature and wind speed of the output warm air, meet the user's personalized use status and use needs, and improve the user's use experience and satisfaction.

[0088] In this embodiment, a control device for a heater is also provided, which is used to implement the above-mentioned embodiments and preferred implementation modes, and the descriptions that have been made will not be repeated. As used below, the term "module" can be a combination of software and / or hardware that implements a predetermined function.
