[0036] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, smart home appliances refer to home appliances that are formed by introducing microprocessors, sensor technology, and network communication technology into home appliances. They have the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent perception, and intelligent application. The operation process of smart home appliances often relies on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet, and electronic chips. For example, smart home appliances can be connected to electronic devices to enable users to remotely control and manage the smart home appliances.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device refers to an electronic device with a wireless connection function. The terminal device can communicate with the above-mentioned smart home appliances by connecting to the Internet, or directly through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. FiIn some embodiments, the terminal device is, for example, a mobile device, a computer, or a vehicle-mounted device built into a hover car, or any combination thereof. The mobile device may include, for example, a mobile phone, a smart home device, a wearable device, a smart mobile device, a virtual reality device, or any combination thereof, wherein the wearable device may include, for example, a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a pedometer, or the like.

[0038] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a dehumidification device, which includes a refrigerant circuit mainly composed of a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device and an evaporator. The dehumidification device refrigerates through the evaporator so that water vapor in the air is pre-condensed into condensed water, thereby reducing the air humidity in the environment and achieving a dehumidification effect. Specifically, the dehumidification device can be a dehumidifier, an air conditioner with a dehumidification function, etc.

[0039] Optionally, the dehumidification device is provided with a local dehumidification module, and the local dehumidification module includes a hygroscopic structure with a hygroscopic material. In this way, when there are users in the room, the indoor humidity can be adjusted by using a hygroscopic material or other method that does not cause the temperature to drop. It is also possible to use a hygroscopic material in conjunction with a refrigeration dehumidification method to simultaneously meet different humidity adjustment rate requirements at different locations in the room.

[0040] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for controlling a dehumidification device is provided, comprising: obtaining user detection information in the room when it is determined that the room where the dehumidification device is located has a dehumidification demand; determining a target dehumidification strategy based on the user detection information; and controlling the dehumidification device to execute the target dehumidification strategy.

[0041] Optionally, the execution subject of the above method may be a dehumidification device. Specifically, when determining that the room where the dehumidification device is located has a dehumidification demand, the control module of the dehumidification device obtains user detection information in the room; the control module of the dehumidification device determines the target dehumidification strategy based on the user detection information; the control module of the dehumidification device generates a control instruction corresponding to the target dehumidification strategy, so that the dehumidification device executes the target dehumidification strategy.

[0042] Optionally, the dehumidification device may have an associated server, which may be deployed on a cloud server or a separately set intelligent gateway. The server has a communication connection with the dehumidification device, so the server can transmit information with the dehumidification device. Specifically, when the server determines that the room where the dehumidification device is located has a dehumidification demand, the server obtains user detection information in the room; the server determines the target dehumidification strategy based on the user detection information; the server sends a control instruction corresponding to the target dehumidification strategy to the dehumidification device to control the dehumidification device to execute the target dehumidification strategy.

[0043] Combination Figure 1As shown, the method for controlling the dehumidification equipment may specifically include the following steps:

[0044] S10: When it is determined that the room where the dehumidification equipment is located has a dehumidification demand, the control module obtains user detection information in the room.

[0045] S20. The control module determines a target dehumidification strategy according to user detection information.

[0046] S30: The control module controls the dehumidification equipment to execute the target dehumidification strategy.

[0047] By adopting the method for controlling the dehumidification device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the detection information of the user in the room with dehumidification demand is obtained, and then the dehumidification device is controlled to perform dehumidification operation according to the user detection information, so that the dehumidification device can automatically perform dehumidification operation, thereby taking into account the user's comfort and effectively reducing the ambient humidity in the room. Different dehumidification strategies can be adopted according to whether the user is indoors, so as to ensure that the indoor humidity value is always within a reasonable range, thereby ensuring the applicable scope of the humidity adjustment method.

[0048] In the disclosed embodiment, the target dehumidification strategy includes a target dehumidification mode and target operating parameters under the target dehumidification mode. Specifically, the relevant parameters for adjusting the indoor heat exchange efficiency can be realized, such as the speed of the indoor fan, the speed of the outdoor fan, the operating frequency of the compressor, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger, etc. Thus, the dehumidification target to be achieved under different dehumidification strategies can be achieved by adjusting the dehumidification equipment in multiple dimensions.

[0049] In some embodiments, the control module determines the target dehumidification strategy based on user detection information, including: when the user detection information indicates that there is no one in the associated area, the control module determines the target dehumidification mode as refrigeration dehumidification; the control module determines the target operating parameters of refrigeration dehumidification based on the ambient humidity.

[0050] In this way, when the user detection information indicates that there is no user in the associated area, the area does not need to consider the user's body temperature to prioritize the humidity adjustment. At this time, the refrigeration and dehumidification method is adopted. The control module determines the target operating parameters of the dehumidification equipment to operate refrigeration and dehumidification according to the ambient humidity, so as to quickly adjust the humidity in the associated area to the expected reasonable humidity range.

[0051] Specifically, when the indoor humidity is greater than 80%, the user will feel abnormally humid. At this time, the target humidity of the indoor dehumidification is set to 60%, and the fan is adjusted to run at a high speed with a maximum air volume, and the air is quickly inhaled to increase the air circulation speed, thereby accelerating the evaporation of water vapor in the air.

[0052] When the indoor humidity is greater than 60%, users will feel damp. At this time, set the target humidity of the indoor dehumidification to 40%, adjust the fan to run at a medium air volume, and evenly inhale the air so that the water vapor in the air evaporates at a uniform speed.

[0053] When the indoor humidity is greater than 40%, users will feel relatively comfortable and not too humid. At this time, the target humidity of the indoor dehumidification is also set to 40%, and the fan is adjusted to run at the lowest air volume, slowly inhaling air to maintain the water vapor in the air within a certain level.

[0054] In addition, when the indoor humidity is less than 40%, the target humidity of the indoor dehumidification is set to 40%, and the fan is adjusted to run at the minimum air volume. After the set running time, such as 20 minutes, if the indoor humidity fluctuates smoothly, the dehumidification equipment is controlled to stop adjusting the humidity in the associated area.

[0055] Optionally, the control module determines target operating parameters of refrigeration and dehumidification according to the ambient humidity, including: the control module obtains season information; the control module determines the target operating parameters of refrigeration and dehumidification according to the ambient humidity and season information.

[0056] In this way, the dehumidification equipment obtains seasonal information to determine whether the outdoor environment can be coordinated with the indoor humidity regulation through the fresh air system, thereby achieving ventilation operations throughout the house while dehumidifying, further improving the user experience.

[0057] In addition, the operation cycle of the dehumidification operation can be determined according to the seasonal information and / or the regional information of the area. In this way, the operation frequency of different dehumidification modes can be determined according to the seasonal changes in the area, thereby improving the flexibility of the dehumidification mode of the dehumidification equipment. For example, the dehumidification frequency can be increased in the rainy season and reduced in the dry season.

[0058] As an optional embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, step S20 may specifically include the following steps:

[0059] S21. When the user detection information indicates that there is no one in the associated area, the control module determines that the target dehumidification mode is cooling dehumidification.

[0060] S22. The control module obtains season information.

[0061] S23. The control module determines the target operating parameters of refrigeration and dehumidification according to the ambient humidity and season information.

[0062] By adopting the method for controlling the dehumidification equipment provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by obtaining seasonal information, it is determined whether the outdoor environment can be adjusted by the fresh air system in coordination with the indoor humidity, and then the target operating parameters of refrigeration and dehumidification are comprehensively determined according to the environmental humidity and seasonal information, so as to achieve ventilation of the whole house while adjusting the humidity, thereby improving the user experience. Or according to the environmental humidity and seasonal information, the dehumidification mode is turned on in advance to avoid the formation of mildew on the surface of objects such as walls or causing clothes to be in a wet state. Specifically, local heating and dehumidification can be performed by delivering hot air to designated objects.

[0063] Optionally, the control module determines the target operating parameters of refrigeration and dehumidification based on the ambient humidity and season information, including: the control module obtains a dehumidification information library, which stores multiple seasons and reference humidity and wind speed levels corresponding to different ambient humidity in different seasons; the control module determines the reference humidity and wind speed level that match the season information and conform to the ambient humidity from the dehumidification information library; the control module determines the determined reference humidity and wind speed level as the target operating parameters of refrigeration and dehumidification.

[0064] In this way, through different seasonal information, the reference humidity and wind speed level that best fit the current humidity adjustment needs are selected, thereby ensuring that the humidity adjustment is more scientific or more in line with the user's usage habits.

[0065] As an optional embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, step S23 may specifically include the following steps:

[0066] S231. The control module obtains a dehumidification information database, which stores reference humidity and wind speed levels corresponding to multiple seasons and different ambient humidity in different seasons.

[0067] S232: The control module determines, from the dehumidification information library, a reference humidity and wind speed level that matches the season information and conforms to the ambient humidity.

[0068] S233: The control module determines the determined reference humidity and wind speed level as target operating parameters for refrigeration and dehumidification.

[0069] The method for controlling a dehumidification device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted, based on the multiple seasons stored in the dehumidification information library, and the reference humidity and wind speed gears corresponding to different ambient humidity in different seasons. The reference humidity and wind speed gear that match the current season information and conform to the ambient humidity are determined, so as to more accurately adjust the indoor ambient humidity or the humidity of the local area where the indoor objects are located.

[0070] Optionally, the control module determines the target operating parameters of refrigeration and dehumidification based on the ambient humidity and season information, and also includes: when the season information matches the reference season, the control module obtains the surface state information of the target object in the room; the control module determines the target operating parameters of refrigeration and dehumidification based on the ambient humidity and the surface state information of the target object.

[0071] In this way, the target operating parameters of refrigeration and dehumidification are determined by the ambient humidity and the surface state information of the target object. Thus, by dehumidifying the local area of ​​the room, the humidity required by different items in different seasons can be met. For example, when the season information shows winter and the outdoor temperature is below 15°C, the dehumidification equipment can be controlled to link with other smart home appliances to adjust the target operating parameters of refrigeration and dehumidification. Thus, it is ensured that the indoor ambient temperature is within the appropriate temperature range while the refrigeration and dehumidification can achieve a certain effect.

[0072] As an optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, step S23 may further specifically include the following steps:

[0073] S234: When the season information matches the reference season, the control module obtains the surface state information of the target object in the room.

[0074] S235: The control module determines target operating parameters of refrigeration and dehumidification according to the ambient humidity and the surface state information of the target object.

[0075] By adopting the method for controlling a dehumidification device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the season information matches the reference season, the target operating parameters of refrigeration and dehumidification are determined according to the ambient humidity and the surface state information of the target object.

[0076] For example, if it is detected that there is a high possibility of rain on the day or it is cloudy or rainy for several consecutive days, then the house will be relatively humid. At this time, the dehumidification operation of the items is run, that is, a dehumidification rod made of special hygroscopic material is used to accelerate the flow rate of indoor air in the area where the items to be dehumidified are located, so that the moisture in the air is adsorbed on the dehumidification rod to be discharged indoors. If it is detected that there are no people indoors and the humidity is greater than 80% through detection, the specific location of the items set by the user or the detected items that are susceptible to moisture is obtained through the sensor. Such as bedding such as quilts, sheets, pillows, undried clothes, baby toys, etc. in summer. If it is within the range of the dehumidification device, the dehumidification device is controlled to run at high speed and blow directly on the items to achieve local heating and dehumidification. For clothes that are not dried at high places, the dehumidification device can be linked with other smart home appliances to realize the flow of hot air in the whole house or part of the area after determining the target location, and the hot air is applied to specific clothes through conduction and convection to achieve rapid drying of clothes. Similarly, it can also be applied to bedding, etc. The dehumidifier is adjusted to the maximum dehumidification power, and other smart appliances are linked to accelerate the air flow in the room, so as to quickly reduce the humidity of the room area or items that need to be dehumidified. In addition, when the local humidity is lower than 40%, the item dehumidification mode is stopped.

[0077] In some embodiments, the dehumidification device is provided with a local dehumidification module, and the local dehumidification module includes a hygroscopic structure with hygroscopic material; the control module determines the target dehumidification strategy based on the user detection information, and also includes: when the user detection information indicates that there is someone in the associated area, the control module determines that the target dehumidification method is local dehumidification; wherein, local dehumidification includes controlling the operation of the local dehumidification module and controlling the air supply of the dehumidification device.

[0078] In this way, when the user detection information indicates that there are people in the associated area, a certain local dehumidification can be performed for the user's location. For example, dehumidification is performed only for unmanned areas, and not for manned areas; or, cooling dehumidification is performed for unmanned areas, and heating dehumidification is performed for manned areas. According to different dehumidification operations, the corresponding local dehumidification module is controlled to operate to avoid low temperature blowing directly on the user, ensuring the user experience.

[0079] Optionally, after determining that the target dehumidification mode is local dehumidification, the method for controlling the dehumidification equipment also includes: the control module obtains the layout information of the room where the dehumidification equipment is located; the control module determines the air supply direction and air volume of the dehumidification equipment based on the layout information.

[0080] In this way, by obtaining the layout of the room, the dehumidification equipment that can act on the area to be dehumidified is determined. Therefore, the air supply direction of the dehumidification equipment is adjusted to the area to be dehumidified, and the air supply volume of the dehumidification equipment is determined according to the distance between the area to be dehumidified and the dehumidification equipment, so as to ensure that the dehumidification effect of the area to be dehumidified can meet expectations.

[0081] As an optional embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, step S20 may further specifically include the following steps:

[0082] S24: When the user detection information indicates that there is someone in the associated area, the control module determines that the target dehumidification mode is local dehumidification.

[0083] S25. The control module obtains the layout information of the room where the dehumidification equipment is located.

[0084] S26. The control module determines the air supply direction and air volume of the dehumidification equipment according to the layout information.

[0085] When the method for controlling the dehumidification device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is used, when the user detection information indicates that there are people in the associated area, the operating state at this time should take into account the user's comfort. Therefore, a certain local dehumidification can be performed based on the user's location. Specifically, dehumidification can be performed only for unmanned areas, or heating and dehumidification operations can be performed for the area where the user is located to avoid cold wind blowing directly on the user and causing discomfort.

[0086] In addition, the location of each object that is susceptible to moisture, or the specific damp surface of the object, can be determined based on the layout information. Thus, through the operation of local dehumidification, fixed-point dehumidification can be achieved, giving priority to avoiding the possible impact of a humid environment. At the same time, it can also avoid the discomfort caused to users by whole-house refrigeration and dehumidification when there are users.

[0087] Optionally, after obtaining the layout information of the room where the dehumidification device is located, the control module determines the area to be dehumidified that is susceptible to humidity. The control module obtains local odor information of the area to be dehumidified. The control module determines the dehumidification mode for the area to be dehumidified based on the local odor information.

[0088] In this way, if there is odor in the area to be dehumidified, there may be substances such as mildew. At this time, first control the cleaning equipment such as the sweeping robot to clean the area, and then control the dehumidification equipment to dehumidify the area to be dehumidified. At the same time, the dehumidification equipment itself or its smart home appliances are linked to remove odors in the area. When linking with its smart home appliances to remove odors in the area, the efficiency of odor removal is prioritized, and the air supply direction and air volume of the dehumidification equipment are adaptively adjusted to ensure the effect of odor removal.

[0089] Optionally, after obtaining the layout information of the room where the dehumidification device is located, the control module obtains the whole house odor information in the indoor environment. The control module determines the area where the odor is concentrated as the target area based on the whole house odor information and layout information. The control module determines the dehumidification mode for the target area based on the season information.

[0090] In this way, it is possible to avoid newly added odor areas being ignored. The area that needs to be cleared of odor can be determined by the concentration of odor. When the outdoor humidity is low, the fresh air system can be turned on while dehumidifying to remove odor. When the outdoor humidity is high, refrigeration and dehumidification can be used in conjunction with other smart home appliances to remove odor, or dehumidification can be performed after other home appliances have completed odor removal.

[0091] Optionally, when the dehumidification device is associated with multiple rooms, the control module obtains relevant detection information of each room respectively. The control module determines the priority information of each room according to the respective ambient humidity and relevant detection information of each room. The control module controls the dehumidification device to dehumidify each room in turn according to the priority information.

[0092] In this way, the dehumidification operation is performed in sequence according to the dehumidification priority of each room to ensure the user experience. The specific priority can be determined by comprehensively considering the humidity of the room, whether there is a user in the room, the frequency of use of the room, the direction information of the room, and the season information. Thus, cleaning can be achieved in sequence according to the user's usage habits.

[0093] Combination Figure 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device 200 for controlling a dehumidification device, including a processor 201 and a memory 202. Optionally, the device may also include a communication interface 203 and a bus 204. The processor 201, the communication interface 203, and the memory 202 may communicate with each other through the bus 204. The communication interface 203 may be used for information transmission.
