[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, an electric fan provided by an embodiment of the present application includes: a first control terminal 110, a second control terminal 120 and a storage component 130, wherein the first control terminal 110 is embedded in the electric fan body, and the storage component 130 is used to store the second control terminal 120.

[0050] In this embodiment, the electric fan device 100 includes complete machine components such as a body, a base, and a fan head. It should be noted that the specific composition structure of the complete machine components of the electric fan device 100 can be configured according to the needs of actual application scenarios.

[0051] The first control terminal 110 is the main control terminal of the electric fan device 100, and the first control terminal 110 is fixedly arranged in the body of the electric fan device 100. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first control terminal 110 is embedded in the body of the electric fan. The first control terminal 110 includes a first display interface, and the first display interface is located on the surface of the body of the electric fan.

[0052] The second control terminal 120 is a remote control terminal of the electric fan device 100. The second control terminal 120 can be detachably arranged at any position in the whole machine component of the electric fan device 100. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second control terminal 120 can remotely interact with the first control terminal 110 of the electric fan device 100 to achieve remote control of the electric fan device 100. Figure 2 As shown, the second control terminal 120 can also be arranged on the electric fan device 100. The second control terminal 120 includes a second display interface, and the second display interface is located on the housing surface of the remote control terminal. It should be noted that the second control terminal 120 can also be called a remote controller.

[0053] The storage assembly 130 is a device on the electric fan device 100 for assembling the second control terminal 120. It should be noted that the storage assembly 130 can be a fixedly configured storage space on the whole assembly of the electric fan device 100, or it can be a magnetic attraction accessory provided on the whole assembly of the electric fan device 100. The actual structure of the storage assembly 130 can be set according to the needs of the actual application scenario. It should be noted that when the storage assembly 130 is a fixedly configured storage space, the size of the storage space is consistent with the size of the second control terminal 120, which can ensure that the storage space can stably assemble the second control terminal 120. In some embodiments, the storage assembly 130 can include both the storage space and the magnetic attraction accessory. In some embodiments, the storage assembly 130 can also be a mounting accessory corresponding to the second control terminal 120.

[0054] The first control terminal 110 includes a first display interface, and the second control terminal 120 includes a second display interface, and both the first display interface and the second display interface include fan operation status information and function keys. The second control terminal 120 includes a communication module, and the second control terminal 120 is connected to the first control terminal 110 through the communication module.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first control terminal 110 serves as the main control terminal of the electric fan device 100, and is connected to the drive motor, rotating motor and other drive devices of the fan head of the electric fan device 100. The user can directly operate the function buttons on the first display interface of the first control terminal 110 to implement the corresponding mode configuration and function configuration of the electric fan. For example, the function buttons on the first display interface include a start button, a gear button, a shaking head button, a search button, a timing button and other function buttons. After the user presses the gear button, the blowing control of the corresponding gear of the electric fan can be implemented. After the user presses the shaking head button, the blowing control of the shaking head mode of the electric fan can be implemented.

[0056] The second control terminal 120 communicates with the first control terminal 110 through the communication module. The user can operate the function button on the second display interface of the second control terminal 120 to make the second control terminal 120 send the control instruction of the corresponding function to the first control terminal 110, so as to make the first control terminal 110 control the driving component of the electric fan to work and realize the corresponding mode configuration and function configuration of the electric fan. It should be noted that the function button on the second display interface is basically the same as the function button on the first display interface, and the function button on the second display interface only does not include the search button. In one embodiment, when the second control terminal 120 is set on the body of the electric fan device 100, the specific implementation method of the second control terminal 120 controlling the electric fan device 100 is the same as the specific implementation method of the first control terminal 110 controlling the electric fan device 100 in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0057] In this embodiment, both the first display interface and the second display interface include an area for displaying the running status information of the electric fan. In actual application, both the first display interface and the second display interface can display the running status information of the electric fan device 100 in real time. That is, no matter the electric fan is controlled through the first control terminal 110 or the electric fan is controlled through the second control terminal 120, the user can confirm the real-time running status of the electric fan based on the first display interface or the second display interface.

[0058] In a feasible embodiment, the second control terminal 120, i.e., the remote controller, can collect the real-time operation status information of the electric fan device 100 at preset intervals through the communication module. If the electric fan operation status information on the second display interface is different from the real-time operation status information, the electric fan operation status information on the second display interface is updated according to the real-time operation status information.

[0059] In summary, the present embodiment provides an electric fan, wherein both the electric fan body and the remote controller are provided with a control terminal with a display panel, and the first display interface of the electric fan body and the second display interface of the remote controller display the same electric fan operation status information. When the user uses the remote controller to operate the electric fan device 100, the user can obtain operation feedback of controlling the electric fan device 100 from the display interface of the remote controller, and after pressing the function button, the user can determine whether the control of the electric fan device 100 is completed by observing the electric fan operation status information on the display interface. In actual application, if the electric fan device 100 is at a remote end, when a child or other user operates the function button on the first display interface, the user can also notice the change of the working mode of the electric fan through the second display interface. The electric fan provided in the present embodiment greatly improves the interactivity between the electric fan body and the remote controller by configuring the display panel on both the first control terminal 110 and the second control terminal 120.

[0060] In one of the embodiments, the communication module includes at least one of an infrared communication module, a wireless communication module and a Bluetooth communication module.

[0061] In this embodiment, the remote control can interact with the main control end of the electric fan through infrared, Bluetooth or WiFi communication methods, so as to send control signals corresponding to function buttons to the main control end of the electric fan, thereby controlling the electric fan to perform corresponding functions.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first control terminal 110, i.e., the electric fan host, also includes a communication module corresponding to the second control terminal 120. In actual application scenarios, the first control terminal 110 and the second control terminal 120 will communicate regularly to ensure that the electric fan operation status information displayed on the first display interface and the second display interface is the same. It should be noted that the communication module and the specific communication method can be determined according to the actual type of the electric fan in the actual application scenario, and this embodiment does not limit the communication module and the specific communication method.

[0063] In one embodiment, when the storage component 130 does not store the second control terminal 120, both the first display interface and the second display interface are in a controllable state.

[0064] When the storage component 130 stores the second control terminal 120, one of the first display interface and the second display interface is in a screen-off state, and the other is in a controllable state.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the display interface is in a controllable state, the user can control the electric fan device through the corresponding function buttons on the display interface. When the display interface is in a screen-off state, the user cannot control the electric fan device through the corresponding function buttons on the display interface. It should be noted that when the display interface is in a controllable state, the display interface includes two modes: lighting up and temporarily off the screen. When the user does not use the display interface for more than a preset time threshold, or the distance between the user and the display interface is greater than a certain distance threshold, the display interface can be temporarily off the screen. When the distance between the user and the display interface is less than a certain distance threshold, or the user starts to use the display interface in a controllable state, the display interface is lit. The control method for lighting the display interface can be adaptively configured according to the needs of the actual application scenario.

[0066] The storage component 130 does not store the second control terminal 120. Figure 1 and Figure 3 In actual application, when the remote controller is not installed on the electric fan, it is determined that the storage component 130 does not store the second control terminal 120 .

[0067] The storage component 130 stores the second control terminal 120 as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 4 In actual application, when the remote controller is installed on the electric fan, the storage component 130 is determined to store the second control terminal 120 .

[0068] In this embodiment, the storage assembly 130 includes a sensor element, and the sensor element is used to detect whether the second control terminal 120 is set on the electric fan device 100. In one embodiment, the sensor element can be a distance sensor, an infrared sensor, or a laser sensor. The specific type of the sensor element can be configured according to the needs of the actual application scenario.

[0069] In actual application, when the storage component 130 does not accommodate the second control terminal 120, the first display interface and the second display interface are both in a controllable state, that is, the first display interface and the second display interface can display information. At this time, the electric fan operating status information displayed on the first display interface and the second display interface is the same.

[0070] When the storage component 130 stores the second control terminal 120, it is only necessary to enable any control terminal set on the electric fan device 100, that is, any display interface is in a controllable state to complete the control of the electric fan device 100. It should be noted that the second control terminal 120 and the storage component 130 can be configured at any position such as the body, fan head or base of the electric fan. When the setting position of the second control terminal 120 and the storage component 130 is not convenient for the user to operate, the first display interface of the first control terminal 110 on the body of the electric fan is preferentially set to be in a controllable state.

[0071] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the storage component 130 includes a magnetic structure 131, and the second control terminal 120 includes a magnetic structure 122 corresponding to the magnetic structure 131 in the storage component 130. The second control terminal 120 includes a second display panel 121, a magnetic structure 122 and a terminal back cover 123. The first control terminal 110 includes a first display panel 111, a main controller 112 and a body back cover 123. The storage component 130 includes a magnetic structure 131.

[0072] In this embodiment, the storage component 130 is stacked with the first control terminal 110 , and the storage component 130 is disposed on the back of the first display interface of the first control terminal 110 , that is, the magnetic attraction structure 131 is disposed on the back of the first display panel 111 .

[0073] When the second control terminal 120 is stored in the storage component 130 , the second display interface of the second control terminal 120 covers the first display interface of the first control terminal 110 .

[0074] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the second control terminal 120 can be magnetically attached to the body of the electric fan, and the second display interface overlaps with the first display interface, and the second display interface completely covers the first display interface. In actual application, the display interface sizes of the first control terminal 110 and the second control terminal 120 can be designed to be the same size to ensure that the display panels are fully attached. At this time, the second display interface is in a controllable state, and the first display interface is in a screen-off state.

[0075] In a feasible embodiment, when the second control terminal 120 is stored in the storage component 130, the first display interface of the first control terminal 110 covers the second display interface of the second control terminal 120. It should be noted that the second control terminal 120 can also be magnetically attracted to the back of the first display interface of the first control terminal 110, and only the magnetic attraction structure 122 in the second control terminal 120 and the magnetic attraction structure 131 in the storage component 130 need to be adaptively modified according to the needs of the actual application scenario. In this embodiment, when the storage component 130 stores the second control terminal 120, the second display interface is in a screen-off state, and the first display interface is in a controllable state.

[0076] In one embodiment, the storage assembly 130 includes a charging module;

[0077] When the storage component 130 stores the second control terminal 120 , the charging module charges the second control terminal 120 .

[0078] In this embodiment, when the storage component 130 is set on the body of the electric fan device 100, a wireless charging module can also be configured on the body of the electric fan device 100. When the second control terminal 120 is magnetically set or accommodated on the body of the electric fan device 100, the wireless charging module can be a wireless terminal for the second control terminal 120 to ensure that the power of the remote control remains in a healthy state.

[0079] In one embodiment, the first control terminal 110 includes a first sound prompt module. When the first control terminal 110 receives a control signal sent by the second control terminal 120, the first sound prompt module performs a sound prompt at a target frequency.

[0080] In this embodiment, Figure 6As shown, the display interfaces of the first control terminal 110 and the second control terminal 120 both include a certain number of function buttons, and the first display interface also includes a special search button. When the user operates the function button on the second display interface, the second control terminal 120 sends a control signal to the first control terminal 110, and the first control terminal 110 receives the control signal and operates the electric fan according to the control signal to complete the corresponding function, and an additional sound prompt signal is sent to the first sound prompt module, so that the first sound prompt module performs a sound prompt.

[0081] The configuration of the first sound prompt module, and the configuration of the control program for the first sound prompt module to give a sound prompt according to the target frequency when receiving the control signal sent by the second control terminal 120, effectively improve the operation feedback effect when the electric fan device 100 is operated using the remote control, and the user can recognize whether the electric fan device 100 is successfully controlled using the remote control by hearing. It should be noted that the target frequency can be adaptively configured according to the needs of the actual application scenario, and the user can modify the target frequency through the display interface of the first control terminal 110 or the second control terminal 120 to improve the flexibility of the sound prompt and meet the personalized needs of the user.

[0082] The second control terminal 120 includes a second sound prompt module. When the second control terminal 120 receives the positioning signal sent by the first control terminal 110, the second sound prompt module performs a sound prompt according to the alarm frequency.

[0083] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the white circle at the bottom of the first display interface of the first control terminal 110 on the left is the search button. The user can press the search button to make the first control terminal 110 send a positioning signal to the second control terminal 120. After receiving the positioning signal, the second control terminal 120 will make a sound prompt according to the alarm frequency. The user can find the lost second control terminal 120 according to the alarm sound of the second sound prompt module.

[0084] It should be noted that the alarm frequency can be configured to a higher frequency to make the volume of the alarm sound prompt louder and the broadcast time longer.

[0085] It should be noted that the first sound prompt module and the second sound prompt module can be any device that can issue a sound prompt, such as a buzzer, a speaker, etc.

[0086] In summary, this embodiment provides an electric fan that can maximize the operational feedback of the user when using the electric fan, and provides a storage position for the remote control, so that the remote control can be stored in the electric fan body when the user is not using the remote control, and can also provide operational feedback to the user through the display interface and sound prompt module when the user is using the remote control, so that the user can more easily understand the operating status information of the electric fan. And for the fan remote control that is easy to lose, this embodiment also provides a remote control retrieval method, which can help the user quickly find the lost remote control.

[0087] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, a method for controlling an electric fan is provided. Figure 1 Taking the first control terminal of the electric fan in the example as an example, the method includes the following steps:

[0088] S701, controlling the electric fan to execute a target function according to the activation status of the function button;

[0089] S702, controlling the first display interface to display the electric fan operation status information;

[0090] S703: Send a synchronization signal to the second control terminal so that the second display interface displays the electric fan operation status information.

[0091] In one embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, a method for controlling an electric fan is provided. Figure 1 Taking the second control terminal of the electric fan in the example as an example, the method includes the following steps:

[0092] S801, controlling the electric fan to execute a target function according to the activation status of the function button;

[0093] S802, controlling the second display interface to display the electric fan operation status information;

[0094] S803: Send a synchronization signal to the first control terminal so that the first display interface displays the electric fan operation status information.

[0095] It should be noted that the specific implementation of the aforementioned method embodiment can refer to the specific implementation of the aforementioned system embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0096] In summary, this embodiment provides an electric fan control method, in which both the electric fan body and the remote controller are configured with a control terminal with a display panel, and the first display interface of the electric fan body and the second display interface of the remote controller display the same electric fan operation status information. When the user uses the remote controller to operate the electric fan device, the user can obtain the operation feedback of controlling the electric fan device from the display interface of the remote controller, and after pressing the function button, the user can determine whether the control of the electric fan device is completed by observing the electric fan operation status information on the display interface. In actual application, if the electric fan device is at a remote end, when a child or other user operates the function button on the first display interface, the user can also notice the change of the working mode of the electric fan through the second display interface. The electric fan provided in this embodiment greatly improves the interactivity between the electric fan body and the remote controller by configuring the display panel on both the first control terminal and the second control terminal.
