[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0044] The air supply device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1In the air supply device shown. The air supply device includes an air supply device body 110, on which an air outlet grille 111 is arranged. In addition, the air supply device also includes a controller 120, an air outlet device 130, a temperature regulating device 140 and a temperature detection device 150, and the temperature detection device 150 is arranged on the air outlet grille 111. Specifically, the controller 120 can communicate with the air outlet device 130, the temperature regulating device 140 and the temperature detection device 150 through a network. After the air supply device starts to run, the controller 120 continuously obtains the air outlet temperature at the air outlet grille of the air supply device detected by the temperature detection device 150, determines the target air supply mode of the air supply device according to the air outlet temperature, and matches the operating parameters corresponding to the target air supply mode to control the operation of the air outlet device 130 and the temperature regulating device 140; when the target air supply mode is a heating mode, the operating parameters corresponding to the heating mode are adjusted based on the air outlet temperature and the high temperature threshold value to achieve high temperature protection of the air outlet grille.

[0045] It can be understood that the data storage system can store the data that the controller 120 needs to process. The data storage system can be integrated on the controller 120, or it can be placed on the cloud or other network servers. The controller 120 can be a control chip or a control circuit board arranged in the body of the air supply device, or it can be an external control system based on wireless communication. The external control system can be implemented by devices such as terminals or servers. The terminals can be, but are not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smart phones, tablet computers, Internet of Things devices and portable wearable devices. The Internet of Things devices can be smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, smart car-mounted devices, projection devices, etc. Portable wearable devices can be smart watches, smart bracelets, head-mounted devices, etc. The head-mounted devices can be virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, smart glasses, etc. The server can be an independent physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides cloud computing services.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a method for controlling an air supply device is provided, and the method is applied to Figure 1 The controller 120 in FIG. 1 is taken as an example to illustrate the method, which includes the following steps 202 to 206. Among them:

[0047] Step 202: After the air supply device starts to operate, the outlet air temperature at the air outlet grille of the air supply device is continuously obtained.

[0048] The air supply device starts to operate when the controller receives a start instruction from the user through the interactive device, and then controls the air supply device to start up.

[0049] Specifically, after the air supply device is turned on, the controller can only control the air outlet device to operate, suck in the air in the environment through the air inlet, and blow out the air from the air outlet. A temperature detection device is provided at the air outlet grille of the air outlet. When the temperature adjustment device is not in operation, after the air outlet device operates to form an air flow, the air outlet temperature detected by the temperature detection device can be equivalent to the ambient temperature of the environment where the air supply device is located.

[0050] Furthermore, after the air supply device starts running, the temperature detection device can continuously obtain the air outlet temperature at the air outlet grille, providing a data basis for further control and real-time adjustment of the air supply device.

[0051] Exemplarily, the temperature detection device is a device that can sense temperature and convert it into a measurable and transmittable signal. Based on different working principles, the embodiments of the present application can use different types of temperature sensors as temperature detection devices, for example, a temperature sensor such as a thermal resistor or a thermocouple can be used as the temperature detection device.

[0052] Step 204, determining a target air supply mode of the air supply device according to the air outlet temperature, and matching and obtaining operating parameters corresponding to the target air supply mode.

[0053] Specifically, after the ambient temperature is indirectly detected based on the temperature detection device arranged at the air outlet grille, the air supply device can be controlled to automatically select a suitable air supply mode and operating parameters based on the detected ambient temperature.

[0054] Exemplarily, for the air supply equipment provided in the present application, based on a temperature regulating device that can simultaneously increase and decrease the temperature, the air supply mode may include a heating mode and a cooling mode. In addition, when the temperature regulating device is not working, the air supply mode may also include a natural wind mode without temperature regulation. For the above-mentioned different air supply modes, its operating parameters may include operating parameters for controlling the operation of the temperature regulating device, and operating parameters for controlling the operation of the air outlet device. In another embodiment, if the air supply equipment also includes other auxiliary devices, such as a humidifying device, the operating parameters may also include operating parameters for controlling the operation of the humidifying device. If the air supply equipment also includes an oscillating mechanism for realizing angle rotation, the operating parameters may also include operating parameters for controlling the operation of the oscillating mechanism.

[0055] Among them, taking the operating parameters for controlling the operation of the temperature adjustment device as an example, the operating parameters may include the temperature gear, and the heating power and target temperature and other parameters corresponding to the temperature gear. Taking the operating parameters for controlling the operation of the air outlet device as an example, the operating parameters may include the air supply gear, and the fan speed and other parameters corresponding to the air supply gear. Of course, in order to simplify the control, the air supply gear may be uniformly used for control, that is, the corresponding heating power, target temperature, fan speed and other parameters are determined by the air supply gear, so as to control the temperature adjustment device and the air outlet device respectively.

[0056] Furthermore, the present application may be to pre-set the air outlet temperature interval or judgment threshold corresponding to each air supply mode, and then compare the air outlet temperature obtained by real-time detection with the preset air outlet temperature interval or judgment threshold to determine the target air supply mode of the air supply device. At the same time, the corresponding relationship between the air outlet temperature and the operating parameters may also be pre-set to match the operating parameters corresponding to the target air supply mode according to the air outlet temperature obtained by real-time detection.

[0057] It can be understood that after the air supply device is turned on and the first air outlet temperature is detected based on the temperature detection device, the target air supply mode and its corresponding operating parameters can be determined accordingly. Then, in the subsequent operation process, if the target air supply mode is a heating mode or a cooling mode, the operation of the air supply device can be controlled by presetting the operating time corresponding to the two modes. It can be understood that when the air supply device runs in the target air supply mode for a preset operating time, the air supply device can be controlled to actively switch to a lower air supply gear, or stop running for a preset pause time before entering step 204.

[0058] Step 206 , when the target air supply mode is the heating mode, the operating parameters corresponding to the heating mode are adjusted based on the outlet air temperature and the high temperature threshold value to achieve high temperature protection for the air outlet grille.

[0059] Among them, the air outlet grille can be a frame structure, which is used to be arranged at the air outlet so that the air outlet is divided into multiple small air outlets for air circulation. At the same time, it can also prevent debris such as dust, bacteria, insects, etc. from entering the system, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the air supply equipment and the cleanliness of the indoor air. In the present application, the shape of the air outlet grille is not limited, and can be set according to the specific technical requirements of the air supply equipment. For example, common ones are square, rectangular, circular, etc., which are suitable for air supply equipment in different occasions to meet different design requirements and use requirements. Furthermore, the material of the air outlet grille can also be varied, and common material types include plastic, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc. However, metal materials such as aluminum alloy and stainless steel have higher thermal conductivity than plastics. In order to avoid the high-temperature airflow from blowing out causing the air outlet grille to be too hot and scald the user, PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) plastic is more commonly used in air supply equipment to make the air outlet grille.

[0060] It can be further understood that when the target air supply mode is the heating mode, in order to ensure the user's heating experience, improving the heating power of the air supply equipment becomes an important design choice, which may also lead to discoloration and aging problems of the plastic air outlet grille.

[0061] Specifically, during operation in heating mode, the controller can continuously monitor the outlet air temperature at the air outlet grille, and compare the outlet air temperature with the high temperature threshold, and then adjust the operating parameters corresponding to the heating mode according to the comparison result to reduce the outlet air temperature at the air outlet grille, thereby achieving high temperature protection for the air outlet grille and preventing the plastic air outlet grille from discoloring due to long-term high air temperature.

[0062] The above-mentioned air supply equipment control method can determine the target air supply mode of the air supply equipment and match the operating parameters corresponding to the target air supply mode by only detecting the outlet air temperature through the temperature detection device set at the air outlet grille, so as to realize the automatic control operation of the air supply equipment. Compared with the air supply equipment that needs to add an ambient temperature detection device or a temperature detection device at the air inlet, the single temperature sensing device method reduces the overall cost. In addition, when the target air supply mode is the heating mode, the operating parameters corresponding to the heating mode can be adjusted based on the outlet air temperature and the high temperature threshold to realize high temperature protection of the air outlet grille, so as to prevent the plastic air outlet grille from discoloring and aging due to long-term high-temperature air supply.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, step 202 includes: after the air supply device starts to run for a preset startup time, continuously obtaining the outlet air temperature at the air outlet grille of the air supply device.

[0064] Specifically, in order to make the outlet air temperature closer to the actual ambient temperature, the present application can also be that after the air supply equipment is turned on, the controller first controls the air outlet device to run for a preset startup time, first sends natural air to reach the preset startup time, and then further controls and adjusts the air supply equipment in real time based on the obtained air outlet temperature at the air outlet grille.

[0065] The specific value of the preset power-on time is not limited. According to the previous experiment, the time for the air outlet temperature detected to be consistent with the ambient temperature by natural wind can be determined, and the experimental time can be used as the preset power-on time. For example, in this embodiment, the preset power-on time can be set to 15-25S, and specifically can be 20S, for example.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the user accidentally touches or other reasons cause the air supply device to shut down, but if the user immediately restarts the air supply device at this time, step 202 will be entered to detect the outlet air temperature at the outlet grille, and the controller will use this outlet air temperature as the data basis to control and adjust the air supply device in real time. However, in the above case, due to the effect of the temperature adjustment device at the previous moment, the outlet air temperature detected at the outlet grille will be greatly different from the ambient temperature. For example, in the heating mode, there will be a large amount of residual heat at the outlet grille, causing the outlet air temperature detected to be much greater than the ambient temperature. If the controller controls and adjusts the air supply device in real time based on this outlet air temperature, it will cause the wrong selection of the air supply mode and operating parameters, thereby affecting the use of the air supply device. Therefore, the present application first presets the startup time in the natural wind mode after the air supply device is started, and then enters step 202 to detect the outlet air temperature at the outlet grille, and uses this outlet air temperature as the data basis to control and adjust the air supply device in real time, which is an important means to ensure the accuracy of the automatic selection of the air supply mode and its operating parameters.

[0067] It can be understood that the air supply equipment involved in this application can be a small air supply equipment with a small air supply temperature radiation range, such as a desktop or vertical air supply equipment. Such equipment can adjust the user's perceived temperature within a small range, but has little impact on the overall temperature of the environment. Therefore, the present application considers only obtaining the outlet air temperature by detecting the temperature detection device set at the air outlet grille, and using it as the ambient temperature for control. At the same time, combined with the method of first supplying air in natural wind mode and presetting the startup time, and then entering step 202, it can effectively reduce the cost of the air supply equipment and ensure automatic and precise control of the air supply equipment.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the operating parameters include air supply gear. Figure 3 As shown, the operation parameters corresponding to the heating mode are adjusted based on the outlet air temperature and the high temperature threshold in step 206, including the following steps 302 to 304, wherein:

[0069] Step 302: If the outlet air temperature reaches the high temperature threshold, the air supply level of the heating mode is lowered in a step-by-step manner until the outlet air temperature is lower than the high temperature threshold.

[0070] Specifically, the high temperature threshold represents the temperature threshold that affects the discoloration and aging problems of the air outlet grille, and can be obtained based on a preliminary temperature aging test on the material used for the air outlet grille. For example, in an embodiment of the present application, the high temperature threshold can be in the range of 130 to 150°C, and the present application can specifically be set to 140°C or 150°C.

[0071] Furthermore, if the air outlet temperature reaches the high temperature threshold, and the air is continuously discharged at the high temperature threshold, the air outlet grille will be greatly accelerated to have appearance problems such as discoloration and whitening. Furthermore, if the air outlet temperature reaches the high temperature threshold, the air supply gear of the heating mode needs to be lowered in a step-by-step manner until the air outlet temperature is adjusted to below the high temperature threshold. Among them, the step-by-step lowering of the air supply gear of the heating mode can be to first run at an air supply gear that is at least one gear lower than the current air supply gear for a period of time. If the air outlet temperature is still higher than the high temperature threshold, it can continue to run at a lower air supply gear for a period of time, or it can be selected to stop heating for a period of time until the air outlet temperature is adjusted to below the high temperature threshold.

[0072] Step 304, otherwise, keep the current air supply gear of the heating mode unchanged. If the air outlet temperature at the air outlet grille does not reach the high temperature threshold, it indicates that the discoloration and aging of the air outlet grille have little impact, and the current air supply gear of the heating mode can be kept running to ensure the normal heating needs of the user.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, step 302 includes the following steps 402 to 404, wherein:

[0074] Step 402: If the air outlet temperature reaches a high temperature threshold, the air supply level of the heating mode is lowered by one level.

[0075] Specifically, when it is detected that the air outlet temperature reaches the high temperature threshold or even exceeds the high temperature threshold, the air supply gear of the heating mode needs to be adjusted to an air supply gear one gear lower than the current air supply gear. The adjustment to an air supply gear one gear lower than the current air supply gear indicates that the temperature adjustment device and the air outlet device are controlled respectively by the parameters such as the heating power, target temperature and fan speed corresponding to the air supply gear one gear lower.

[0076] It can be understood that if the current air supply gear is already the lowest air supply gear, the heating can be stopped directly for a period of time, that is, the temperature adjustment device is controlled to stop running, and only the air outlet device is controlled to blow natural wind to reduce the air outlet temperature at the air outlet grille.

[0077] After the preset duration, if the air outlet temperature still reaches the high temperature threshold, return to the step of lowering the air supply level of the heating mode by one level; otherwise, keep the current air supply level of the heating mode unchanged.

[0078] Step 404: after the preset duration, if the air outlet temperature still reaches the high temperature threshold, return to step 402; otherwise, keep the current air supply level of the heating mode unchanged.

[0079] Specifically, the preset duration represents the duration for which the temperature can be lowered after the gear is lowered, and can be set according to actual technical requirements, for example, it can be set to 30 seconds or 1 minute. After the preset duration, the air outlet temperature can generally be reduced to below the high temperature threshold, and the current air supply gear of the heating mode can be maintained to ensure the normal heating needs of the user.

[0080] Furthermore, if the outlet air temperature is still higher than the high temperature threshold after the preset duration, it is necessary to return to step 402, and then adjust the air supply gear of the heating mode down by one gear, or if the current air supply gear is already the lowest air supply gear, the heating preset stop time can be directly stopped. Among them, when the temperature regulating device stops running, the air outlet temperature at the air outlet grille generally drops faster after the natural wind circulates, and then the preset stop time can be a time shorter than the preset duration, for example, the preset stop time can be 20S. Further, after stopping the heating preset stop time, if the outlet air temperature is still higher than the high temperature threshold, the heating preset stop time can be continued to be stopped, and the cycle is repeated until the outlet air temperature drops below the high temperature threshold. On the contrary, if the outlet air temperature has dropped below the high temperature threshold after stopping the heating preset stop time, it can be controlled to run at the lowest air supply gear of the heating mode to ensure the user's heating needs.

[0081] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, determining the target air supply mode of the air supply device according to the air outlet temperature in step 204 includes the following steps 502 to 506, wherein:

[0082] Step 502: When the air outlet temperature is less than or equal to the heating threshold, determine that the target air supply mode of the air supply device is the heating mode.

[0083] Specifically, the heating threshold is a temperature threshold indicating a heating demand, for example, 15-20° C. When the air outlet temperature is less than or equal to the heating threshold, it indicates that the environment is relatively cold, and the target air supply mode of the air supply device needs to be determined as the heating mode to output warm air to meet the user's heating demand.

[0084] Step 504: When the air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the cooling threshold, determine that the target air supply mode of the air supply device is the cooling mode.

[0085] Specifically, the cooling threshold is a temperature threshold at which heat dissipation is required, for example, 25-28° C. When the air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the cooling threshold, it indicates that the environment is relatively hot and humid, and the target air supply mode of the air supply device needs to be set to the cooling mode to output cold air to meet the user's heat dissipation needs.

[0086] Step 506: When the air outlet temperature is between the cooling threshold and the heating threshold, determine that the target air supply mode of the air supply device is the natural wind mode.

[0087] Specifically, when the air outlet temperature is between the cooling threshold and the heating threshold, it indicates that the environment is relatively comfortable and the temperature is suitable. The target air supply mode of the air supply device can be determined as the natural wind mode to output natural wind to meet the user's blowing needs.

[0088] It can be understood that after determining the target air supply mode, the operating parameters corresponding to the target air supply mode can be matched according to the air outlet temperature at the air outlet grille. Among them, the operating parameters can be determined by dividing the air outlet temperature into multiple air outlet temperature intervals, and presetting the air supply gear and operating parameter combination corresponding to each air outlet temperature interval, so as to match the determined operating parameters according to the air outlet temperature at the air outlet grille actually detected. The following explanation is given by taking each air supply mode as divided into two air outlet temperature intervals, and then determining a high air supply gear or a low air supply gear according to the two air outlet temperature intervals.

[0089] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the matching in step 204 obtains the operating parameters corresponding to the target air supply mode, including the following steps 602 to 604, wherein:

[0090] Step 602: When the outlet air temperature is within the first outlet air temperature range, the air supply level of the target air supply mode is matched to be a high air supply level.

[0091] Step 604: When the outlet air temperature is within the second outlet air temperature range, the air supply level of the target air supply mode is matched to be a low air supply level.

[0092] Specifically, in the heating mode, the temperature interval below the heating threshold may be divided into two air outlet temperature intervals, namely, a first air outlet temperature interval and a second air outlet temperature interval. Among them, the air outlet temperature value in the first air outlet temperature interval may be less than the air outlet temperature value in the second air outlet temperature interval. Furthermore, when the air outlet temperature is in the first air outlet temperature interval, it indicates that the environment is colder, and the air supply gear of the target air supply mode can be matched to a high air supply gear, so as to output warm air with a higher temperature and a faster wind speed to meet the user's heating needs. When the air outlet temperature is in the second air outlet temperature interval, it indicates that the environment is not so cold, and the air supply gear of the target air supply mode can be matched to a low air supply gear, so as to output warm air with a moderate temperature and wind speed to meet the user's heating needs.

[0093] Furthermore, in the cooling mode, the temperature interval above the cooling threshold may be divided into two air outlet temperature intervals, namely, a first air outlet temperature interval and a second air outlet temperature interval. Among them, the air outlet temperature value in the first air outlet temperature interval may be greater than the air outlet temperature value in the second air outlet temperature interval. Furthermore, when the air outlet temperature is in the first air outlet temperature interval, it indicates that the environment is more muggy, and the air supply gear of the target air supply mode can be matched to a high air supply gear, so as to output cold air with a lower temperature and a higher wind speed to meet the user's heat dissipation needs. When the air outlet temperature is in the second air outlet temperature interval, it indicates that the environment is not so hot, and the air supply gear of the target air supply mode can be matched to a low air supply gear, so as to output cold air with a moderate temperature and wind speed to meet the user's heat dissipation needs.

[0094] Taking the determination of the air supply level in the heating mode as an example, two air outlet temperature ranges can be obtained by dividing [0~10℃] and [10~20℃]. When the air outlet temperature is [0~10℃], the air supply level of the target air supply mode can be matched to the high air supply level, and the user's heating needs can be met by outputting warm air with a higher temperature and a faster wind speed. When the air outlet temperature is [10~20℃], the air supply level of the target air supply mode can be matched to the low air supply level, and the user's heating needs can be met by outputting warm air with a moderate temperature and wind speed.

[0095] In a specific embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, taking the air supply device as a heater as an example, a control method for the air supply device in a heating mode is provided, wherein the temperature sensing package is arranged at the air outlet grille of the air supply device.

[0096] Specifically, when the user turns on the air supply device, the controller will first control the heater to supply natural air for a period of time (such as 20 seconds). After the air supply is completed, the temperature sensing package will work immediately to detect the outlet air temperature at this time, and the temperature at this time is the ambient temperature. The reason why it is set to supply natural air for a period of time (such as 20 seconds) after startup is to prevent the ambient temperature from being inaccurately judged due to the accidental shutdown and then restarting immediately. If the air supply is not set for a period of time (such as 20 seconds) after startup, when the user accidentally touches or other reasons to turn the heater off and then turns it on immediately, the heating module will have a lot of residual heat at this time, which causes the temperature detected by the temperature sensing package at this time to be not the ambient temperature. The data transmitted to the controller will cause the program to make an incorrect decision and the wrong selection of the gear. Therefore, setting the heater to supply natural air for a period of time after starting is an important means to ensure the accuracy of automatic gear selection.

[0097] Furthermore, when the temperature sensing package detects the ambient temperature, it will immediately transmit the temperature data to the controller, and the controller will determine whether to select the high or low air supply gear at this temperature based on the pre-built-in data. For example, when the temperature sensing package detects that the ambient temperature is 20℃ or above, it will select the low gear for heating; when the ambient temperature is 20℃ or below, it will select the high gear for heating to meet the user's heating needs at different temperatures.

[0098] Furthermore, when the heater continues to run, it will generate more and more heat, and the output warm air temperature will become higher and higher. When the temperature sensor detects that the air temperature reaches a preset value (such as 150°C), the controller will immediately lower the heating gear by one gear and run for a period of time (such as 1 minute). If there is only one heating gear, you can choose to stop heating for a short period of time (such as 20 seconds). In this way, high temperature protection can be achieved for the plastic air outlet grille to prevent the air outlet grille from discoloring, whitening and other appearance risks.

[0099] In this embodiment, the ambient temperature is detected within a period of time after the device is started, and the most suitable operating gear is automatically selected according to the temperature data, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, in order to prevent the plastic air outlet grille from discoloring due to long-term high-temperature operation, the system is also designed with a high-temperature automatic gear switching function.
