[0042] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a humidifier air conditioner control system provided in an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation
[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0044] Reference Figure 1 This application provides a humidifier air conditioner control method, including:
[0045] S11: When a preset condition is triggered, control the heating element to turn on so as to heat the water in the humidifier to a preset temperature;
[0046] In one embodiment, the triggering preset condition may be receiving a user's instruction to turn on the heating element.
[0047] In another embodiment, the preset trigger condition can be determined based on the detection of some sensors to determine whether to turn on. For example, the water quality is detected by a water quality sensor. When the water quality is poor, the heating element is turned on. However, this method requires the water quality sensor to increase costs.
[0048] Therefore, in practice, the preset condition is generally triggered once every preset time interval; that is, the heating element is controlled to turn on once every preset time interval. Specifically, the start time of the heating element is obtained; if the difference between the current time and the start time is greater than the preset time interval, the preset condition is triggered.
[0049] In some embodiments, the preset duration is fixed. However, in actual control, different usage scenarios and user needs vary.
[0050] Therefore, in other embodiments, the preset duration is determined based on the usage scenario mode of the humidifier air conditioner, which includes sleep mode, office mode, exercise mode and automatic mode.
[0051] The preset duration varies depending on the usage scenario. Furthermore, other parameters also differ across usage scenarios, for example:
[0052] 7.1 Sleep Mode
[0053] Function description: When used at night, it automatically adjusts the humidification and sterilization parameters to ensure a comfortable and quiet indoor environment.
[0054] Technical Implementation:
[0055] Humidification parameters: Maintain indoor humidity between 40% and 50% to avoid discomfort caused by excessive humidification.
[0056] Sterilization parameters: The sterilization function is activated on a timer, and a 30-minute high-temperature sterilization is performed every 2 hours.
[0057] Noise control: Reduce fan speed to decrease operating noise and ensure a quiet sleeping environment.
[0058] Light control: Turn off all indicator lights to avoid light disturbing sleep.
[0059] 7.2 Office Mode
[0060] Function Description: Suitable for office environments, ensuring suitable indoor air quality and humidity, and improving work efficiency.
[0061] Technical Implementation:
[0062] Humidification parameters: Maintain indoor humidity between 45% and 60% to create a comfortable office environment.
[0063] Sterilization parameters: High-temperature sterilization for 30 minutes every 3 hours to ensure air quality.
[0064] Energy-saving control: The humidification and sterilization frequency are dynamically adjusted according to the number of people and their activity levels in the office.
[0065] Remote control: Supports remote control of devices via a mobile app for convenient management.
[0066] 7.3 Sports Mode
[0067] Function Description: Suitable for gyms or home workout areas, ensuring suitable air quality and humidity during exercise.
[0068] Technical Implementation:
[0069] Humidification parameters: Maintain indoor humidity between 50% and 60% to avoid breathing difficulties during exercise.
[0070] Sterilization parameters: High-temperature sterilization is performed for 30 minutes every hour to ensure air quality.
[0071] Fan speed control: Increase fan speed to improve air circulation and keep the room cool.
[0072] Intelligent linkage: It can be linked with sports equipment (such as treadmills, exercise bikes, etc.) to automatically adjust humidification and sterilization parameters according to exercise intensity.
[0073] 7.4 Automatic Mode
[0074] Function Description: The device automatically adjusts humidification and sterilization parameters based on indoor environmental parameters, eliminating the need for manual settings by the user.
[0075] Technical Implementation:
[0076] Humidification parameters: The humidification rate is automatically adjusted according to the indoor humidity, maintaining it between 40% and 60%.
[0077] Sterilization parameters: The sterilization frequency and intensity are automatically adjusted according to the indoor air quality.
[0078] Intelligent adjustment: Integrates temperature and humidity sensors, air quality sensors, etc., and combines them with intelligent algorithms to achieve adaptive adjustment.
[0079] The control logic can also be continuously optimized based on user habits and feedback.
[0080] In one embodiment, the use case mode is input by the user as needed.
[0081] In another embodiment, the usage scenario mode is automatically determined by the air conditioner based on parameters from multiple sensors. For example: acquiring the current time, the user's current location, the user's current physiological parameters, and the user's current action; determining scenario values for each of the four dimensions (current time, current location, current physiological parameters, and current action) based on a preset correspondence; multiplying the scenario value for each dimension by its corresponding dimension coefficient to obtain a total scenario value; and using the scenario corresponding to a preset interval containing the total scenario value as the usage scenario mode.
[0082] The purpose of obtaining the current time is to correlate it with the times in historical usage records to understand the user's usage habits. This means that the current time includes not only the specific point in time but also whether it is a weekday. For example, if the number of times a user activates a certain usage scenario mode at the current time in the historical usage records exceeds a threshold, it is determined that the user habitually activates that usage scenario mode at this time. The scenario value corresponding to the current time dimension is then the scenario value of that usage scenario mode (the scenario value of a usage scenario mode is a range; any two usage scenario modes will have different scenario values. The specific value can be determined based on the ratio of the number of times the usage scenario mode is activated at the same time in the historical usage records to the total number of activations. The larger the ratio, the closer its scenario value is to the upper limit. The total number of activations refers to the number of times the same time occurs in the historical usage records).
[0083] Obtaining the user's current location is to determine the current location. For example, if the user is in a gym, they are more likely to use the exercise mode, while if they are in a bedroom, they are more likely to use the sleep mode.
[0084] However, being in a gym doesn't necessarily mean exercising. Therefore, the system considers the user's current physiological parameters and activities, including heart rate and breathing, as well as activities like running or reading. This multi-dimensional data analysis determines the appropriate usage scenario mode to activate.
[0085] In addition, the coefficients of the four dimensions are added together to 1, for example, all of them are 25%. The coefficients of the dimensions are set according to actual needs. For example, if a certain dimension value is considered more important or more accurate, its coefficient can be increased, while at least one other dimension coefficient can be decreased accordingly.
[0086] It should be noted that the heating element is a resistance wire or other heating device, and this application does not make any specific limitation.
[0087] S12: Obtain the water level in the water tank of the humidifier air conditioner, and determine the target heating time based on the water level.
[0088] Specifically, determining the target heating duration based on the water level includes:
[0089] A preset water level range is determined, with each preset water level range corresponding to a heating time. The larger the preset water level range, the longer the heating time. The heating time corresponding to the preset water level range to which the water level belongs is used as the target heating time. (Reference) Figure 2 , Figure 2 A specific control method is given. It is understandable that, although... Figure 2 The given water level is a specific height, but it should actually be the corresponding water level range.
[0090] S13: When the heating element is turned on for the target heating time, control the heating element to turn off.
[0091] Furthermore, when the water temperature inside the humidifier exceeds a preset water temperature, the heating element is shut off to prevent the water temperature from becoming too high.
[0092] In a preferred implementation of this application, after the heating element is turned off, the sterilization module is turned on to sterilize the air inside the humidifier air conditioner. Therefore, the heating element can only sterilize the water, while the sterilization module can further sterilize the pipes and the water vapor in the pipes (the sterilization by the heating element may not be thorough or some bacteria may not be killed).
[0093] The sterilization module includes: an ultraviolet irradiation module, an ozone generator, or a photocatalyst module.
[0094] The humidifier air conditioner control method provided in this application controls the heating element to turn on when a preset condition is triggered, so as to heat the water in the humidifier air conditioner to a preset temperature; and obtains the water level height in the water tank inside the humidifier air conditioner, and determines the target heating time based on the water level height; when the heating element is turned on for the target heating time, it controls the heating element to turn off. In other words, this application solution uses a heating element inside the humidifier air conditioner to heat the water to a preset temperature to achieve sterilization, thus ensuring good water quality and not affecting indoor air quality.
[0095] To illustrate the present application more specifically, the present invention provides a humidifying air conditioner that not only has conventional humidification and temperature control functions, but also incorporates high-temperature timed sterilization technology to further enhance the cleanliness of indoor air.
[0096] 1. Start-up and Testing: After the user starts the humidifier air conditioner via the control panel or remote control, the device first performs a self-test to ensure that all functions are operating normally. Subsequently, the built-in humidity sensor detects the current indoor humidity.
[0097] 2. Humidification Process: The humidification module activates when the detected humidity level falls below a preset threshold. The humidification module includes a heating element that heats water to 56°C (adjustable according to actual needs), increasing air humidity through high-temperature steam. This method not only provides rapid humidification but also utilizes high temperature to perform preliminary sterilization of water molecules.
[0098] 3. High-Temperature Timed Sterilization: During humidification, the humidifier air conditioner enters a high-temperature timed sterilization mode. In this mode, the heating element maintains a temperature of 56℃ for 30 minutes (this time can be adjusted according to user needs or indoor environment). This high temperature effectively kills most bacteria and viruses, ensuring air quality.
[0099] 4. Sterilization Module: In addition to high-temperature humidification and sterilization, the humidifying air conditioner is also equipped with an independent sterilization module. This module can be activated after the high-temperature humidification is completed, using ultraviolet irradiation, an ozone generator, or photocatalytic technology to further kill microorganisms in the air.
[0100] 5. Intelligent Control and Safety Protection: The humidifier air conditioner's control system monitors the high-temperature sterilization process in real time. Once the set sterilization time is reached, or if the temperature exceeds the safe range, the device will automatically shut off the heating element to prevent overheating. The device also features water level sensing, overheat protection, and automatic power-off safety functions.
[0101] 6. Maintenance and Cleaning: The humidifier air conditioner is designed for easy daily cleaning and maintenance. Both the humidification and sterilization modules are removable for easy cleaning and replacement.
[0102] 7. This application provides multiple preset usage scenario modes, which users can quickly switch according to their current needs. Alternatively, the appropriate usage scenario can be determined based on user habits or usage history, user location, user physiological parameters, and user actions.

[0155] 9.3 Health Status Analysis:
[0156] Health Records: Based on the user's health records, adjust sterilization and humidification parameters to ensure a safe indoor environment.
[0157] This application aims to provide a humidifier air conditioner with sterilization function, solving the problem that traditional humidifier air conditioners cannot effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in the air, thereby improving indoor air quality and protecting user health. This application eliminates the need for manual activation of the sterilization function by using a timer to periodically sterilize the humidifying water in the water tank, achieving automatic sterilization. This application also features multiple preset modes, which users can quickly select and switch between via remote control or an app.
[0158] When the humidifying water in the air conditioner's tank cannot be changed in time, or the water quality is poor, manual water changing is avoided. A timer is used to set a timed sterilization period, ensuring the humidifying water quality meets the requirements for normal humidification and reducing the risk of water quality issues. During humidification, the air conditioner enters a high-temperature timed sterilization mode. In this mode, the heating element maintains a preset temperature for a preset duration (this time can be adjusted according to user needs or indoor environment). This high temperature effectively kills most bacteria and viruses, ensuring air quality.
[0159] In addition to high-temperature humidification and sterilization, humidifying air conditioners are also equipped with a separate sterilization module. This module can be activated after the high-temperature humidification process is complete, using ultraviolet irradiation, an ozone generator, or photocatalytic technology to further kill microorganisms in the air.
[0160] Furthermore, this invention provides a variety of preset usage scenario modes, which users can quickly switch between according to their current needs. For example, sleep mode, office mode, etc., each mode has specific humidification and sterilization parameters.

[0166] Furthermore, it also includes:
[0167] The preset duration is determined based on the usage scenario mode of the humidifier air conditioner, which includes sleep mode, office mode, sports mode and automatic mode.

[0169] Based on a preset correspondence, scene values are determined for four dimensions: the current time, the user's current location, the user's current physiological parameters, and the user's current action.
[0170] The total scene value is obtained by multiplying the scene value of each dimension by the corresponding dimension coefficient.
[0171] The scenario corresponding to the preset range where the total scenario value is located is taken as the usage scenario mode.
[0172] The heating duration determination module 32 is used to obtain the water level height of the water tank inside the humidifier air conditioner and determine the target heating duration based on the water level height.
[0173] The step of determining the target heating time based on the water level includes:
[0174] Determine the preset water level range to which the water level height belongs. Each preset water level range corresponds to a heating time. The larger the preset water level range, the longer the heating time.
[0175] The heating time corresponding to the preset water level range to which the water level height belongs is taken as the target heating time.
[0176] The heating element shutdown module 33 is used to control the heating element to shut down after the heating element has been on for a certain period of time and the target heating time has been reached.
[0177] In addition, in actual control, it also includes:
[0178] When the water temperature inside the humidifier is higher than the preset water temperature, the heating element is controlled to turn off.
[0179] In a preferred implementation of this application, after the heating element is turned off, the sterilization module is turned on to sterilize the air inside the humidifier.

In other words, this application solution achieves sterilization by setting a heating element inside the humidifier air conditioner and heating the water to a preset temperature, thus ensuring good water quality and not affecting indoor air quality.
