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 ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar users, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0052] The following is a detailed description of an embodiment of the child lock state control method for an electrical device according to the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, it is a flow chart of the method for controlling the child lock state of an electrical device provided by the present invention, and the specific implementation process includes the following steps:

[0053] Step 101: When the electrical device is in a locked state, a contact signal on the surface of the child lock button on the electrical device is detected to determine the area parameter of the equivalent electrode corresponding to the contact signal and the distance parameter between the equivalent electrode and a preset electrode in the child lock button. The preset electrode includes an internal transmitting electrode and a receiving electrode, and a capacitor is formed between the internal transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode.

[0054] The electrical equipment includes but is not limited to air conditioners, water heaters, televisions, microwave ovens, etc., which are not specifically limited here. The child lock button can be a capacitor structure formed by a transmitting electrode and a receiving electrode arranged on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board), with a shell surface layer arranged on the upper part, and a gap of preset width (for example, 3mm) exists between the lower surface of the shell surface layer and the transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode. After the user's fingers and other parts contact the shell surface layer, a certain contact area can be generated, and at the same time, the shell surface layer is displaced and deformed downward, so that the distance parameter between the equivalent electrode generated by the fingers and other parts and the electrode inside the child lock button changes (for example, becomes 2mm). In addition, since the fingers and other parts are also charged bodies, equivalent to an equivalent electrode, when the fingers and other parts are pressed on the shell surface layer, the amount of charge on the receiving electrode and the transmitting electrode will be affected, thereby affecting the capacitance value between the two electrodes. The child lock button can be set on the electrical equipment or replace the switch button of the electrical equipment. The specific structure of the child lock button is as follows Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the above two pictures are touch principle diagrams when there is no action. The sensor measures the capacitance C between two electrodes when no one touches them. One electrode is the receiving electrode and the other electrode is the sending electrode.

[0055] In the specific implementation process of this step, when the electrical device is in a locked state, the contact signal on the surface of the child lock button on the electrical device is detected by the preset sensor in the child lock button, and the area parameter of the equivalent electrode corresponding to the contact signal and the distance parameter between the equivalent electrode and the preset electrode in the child lock button are obtained based on the corresponding sensor. The sensor includes but is not limited to a pressure sensor, a displacement sensor, etc. Among them, the area parameter of the equivalent electrode corresponding to the contact signal based on the corresponding sensor, and the corresponding specific implementation process includes: obtaining the contact area between the object corresponding to the contact signal and the surface of the child lock button based on the corresponding sensor; determining the area parameter of the equivalent electrode corresponding to the contact signal based on the contact area.

[0056] Step 102: Based on the area parameter of the equivalent electrode and the distance parameter between the equivalent electrode and the preset electrode in the child lock button, determine the capacitance value between the transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode inside the child lock button; and control the operating state of the electrical device according to the capacitance value.

[0057] In the specific implementation process of this step, the area parameter of the equivalent electrode and the distance parameter between the equivalent electrode and the preset electrode in the child lock button can be input into the preset capacitance value algorithm model to obtain the capacitance value between the transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode inside the child lock button; wherein, the area parameter of the equivalent electrode is proportional to the capacitance value; and the distance parameter between the equivalent electrode and the preset electrode in the child lock button is inversely proportional to the capacitance value. According to the capacitance value, determine the actual charge between the transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode. wherein, the capacitance value is proportional to the actual charge. compare the actual charge with the preset charge threshold value to obtain a comparison result, and control the operating state of the electrical device according to the comparison result. Among them, the actual charge amount is compared with the preset charge amount threshold to obtain a comparison result, and the operating state of the electrical device is controlled according to the comparison result. The corresponding specific implementation process includes: comparing the actual charge amount with the preset charge amount threshold, when the actual charge amount is greater than or equal to the charge amount threshold, determining that the object generating the contact signal meets the preset age condition, and controlling the electrical device to enter the open state; or, when the actual charge amount is less than the charge amount threshold, determining that the object generating the contact signal does not meet the preset age condition, and controlling the electrical device to remain in the locked state. In addition, the actual charge amount between the transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode is determined according to the capacitance value, and the corresponding specific implementation process includes: obtaining the voltage value currently corresponding to the capacitance value; calculating based on the capacitance value and the voltage value to obtain the actual charge amount between the transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode. For example, the charge amount Q = the product of the voltage U and the capacitance C.

[0058] The following is a specific example. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the touch mode is implemented by measuring the change in the amount of charge on the sending electrode to detect whether a finger or other part touches the child lock button, and whether the two-way touches the child lock button. Since the other parts (equivalent motors) are also charged bodies, when the fingers or other parts are pressed on the surface of the shell, it will affect the amount of charge on the receiving electrode and the sending electrode, thereby affecting the capacitance value C (i.e. Cm0) between the two electrodes. The capacitance value algorithm model used to calculate the capacitance value is as follows:

[0059]

[0060] In the formula: e0 and er are the dielectric constants of air and PCB board; S is the area parameter of the equivalent electrode generated by the finger and other parts (the effective contact area of ​​the finger and other parts); D is the distance parameter between the equivalent electrode and the preset electrode.

[0061] It should be noted that, due to the different sizes of fingers and other parts of adults and children, the equivalent electrode area can affect the value of S in the formula. At the same time, due to the different strengths of children and adults when pressing the keys, D will be affected, thereby affecting the value of C. The different changes in the value of C caused by children's touch and adult's touch will cause different changes in the charge on the sending electrode, thus providing a basis for distinguishing whether it is an adult or a child's touch in the child lock state. Therefore, when processing electrical signals in the child lock state, the preset charge threshold of the touch is adjusted so that it can make it possible to identify adult touches, while shielding the contact signal when children touch. Figure 4 and 5 As shown, when adults come into contact with it, C=Cm; when children come into contact with it, C=Cm1.

[0062] The present invention is based on the basic principle of the touch mode, and finds the difference between children and adults. Under different child locks of the electrical device, the software automatically adjusts the preset charge threshold and other parameters to distinguish whether it is an adult or a child's touch, so that adults can also operate the electrical device in the child lock state. That is, after setting the child lock function, the electrical device will change its own sensitivity and the charge threshold triggered by the button, and then distinguish whether the operator is an adult or a child, so that under the child lock function, adult operation can be realized, but child operation cannot be realized. Therefore, after setting the child lock, when an adult needs to change the setting content, he can set the content without unlocking the child lock.

[0063] The child lock state control method for electrical equipment provided by the present invention detects the contact signal on the surface of the child lock button on the electrical equipment when the electrical equipment is in a locked state, determines the area parameter of the equivalent electrode corresponding to the contact signal and the distance parameter between the equivalent electrode and the preset electrode in the child lock button, and determines the capacitance value between the transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode inside the child lock button based on the area parameter of the equivalent electrode and the distance parameter between the equivalent electrode and the preset electrode in the child lock button; and controls the operating state of the electrical equipment according to the capacitance value. This method can make the electrical equipment less prone to misoperation, effectively improves the accuracy and efficiency of the child lock button in object recognition, and enhances the user experience.
