[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, 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.

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method embodiment of memory position call processing of an electric furniture drive system is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0028] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a memory position calling processing method of an electric furniture driving system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0029] Step S102, detecting the driver type of the target driver set on the electric furniture;

[0030] The execution subject of steps S102 to S104 of the present application may be a control box provided on the electric furniture. The control box may be provided with one or more driver interfaces, each of which may be used to connect a driver of the electric furniture. The target driver may be a designated driver on the electric furniture, and the target driver may be one or more.

[0031] By detecting the driver type, the control box can automatically determine whether the currently connected driver is a driver with a position feedback function, and then can adaptively select the most appropriate memory position calling method. For example, if the driver is detected to be a first type driver (i.e., a driver with a position feedback device), the control box will use a calling method based on position feedback counts; if a second type driver is detected (i.e., an ordinary driver without a position feedback function), the control box will switch to a calling method based on time counts. In this way, even if the driver type is changed or the position feedback device of a driver is damaged, the memory position function of the electric furniture can still work normally.

[0032] Through the above step S102, the compatibility of electric furniture with different types of drivers can also be improved, so that the same control box can adapt to drivers with different configurations without having to design a dedicated control box or control program for each type of driver. This can not only simplify the design and manufacturing process of the control box product, but also facilitate the maintenance and upgrade of the control box product. The control box can automatically identify and select the calling method, which can avoid the problem that a control box in the related art only supports one memory bit calling method, that is, when an electric furniture wants to support two memory bit calling methods at the same time and realize flexible selection of memory bit calling methods, it is necessary to set up two control boxes, one of which supports the method of calling the memory bit based on the position feedback count, and the other control box supports the method of calling the memory bit based on the time count. Two independent sets of program codes are written for the position feedback count and the time count, thereby reducing the software complexity of the control box and reducing the difficulty and cost of code maintenance.

[0033] Optionally, the method of calling the memory bit based on the position feedback count may be a method of calling the memory bit based on the Hall count.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, detecting the driver type of a target driver set on the electric furniture includes: detecting the driver type of the target driver when detecting that a control box installed on the electric furniture is powered on, wherein the control box is used to control the action of the target driver.

[0035] Optionally, when the control box of the electric furniture is powered on for the first time or each time it is turned on, the control box will immediately start a self-test procedure. This is a critical time point because at this stage, the control box does not have any preset information about the type and status of the drive, so it needs to collect the necessary information to determine the drive type and then select the correct memory bit calling method. Based on the drive type information obtained during the self-test process, the control box can automatically select the most appropriate memory bit calling method. For example, if the target drive is a first type drive, the electric furniture will adopt a precise calling method based on position feedback counts (such as Hall counts); if the target drive is a second type drive, the electric furniture will switch to a calling method based on time counts. Although the accuracy is lower, it can still maintain the availability of the memory bit function when the position feedback device is damaged or unavailable.

[0036] Optionally, the above self-test process is not only performed when the electric furniture is powered on for the first time, but can also be extended to a timed or cyclic self-test, which helps to timely detect the failure of the driver or sensor during use. For example, if the position feedback device in the first type of driver is found to be partially damaged, the control box will automatically switch to the time counting mode to ensure that the memory position function is not affected.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, detecting the driver type of a target driver set on the electric furniture includes: detecting whether a first position feedback signal sent by the target driver is received; if the first position feedback signal is received, determining that the driver type is a first type driver; if the first position feedback signal is not received, determining that the driver type is a second type driver.

[0038] Optionally, the first type of driver refers to a driver with a position feedback device, and the second type of driver is a driver without a position feedback device. When the control box starts the self-test process, the control box sends a test command to the target driver, requiring the driver to perform a very short telescopic action. During this process, the control box detects whether a first position feedback signal is received from the driver. The signal is generated by the position feedback device and is used to feedback the current position information of the driver. If the control box receives the first position feedback signal during the test, it means that the connected driver is equipped with a position feedback device and has a position feedback function. At this time, the control box can determine that the driver type is a first type of driver. Since the first type of driver can provide more accurate position information, the electric furniture will use a call method based on position feedback count to control the memory bit, which can achieve more accurate position call and management. If the control box does not receive the first position feedback signal during the test, it indicates that the connected driver does not have a position feedback device, so the control box determines that the driver type is a second type of driver. In this case, the electric furniture will use a call method based on time count. Although the time counting method has lower accuracy, its cost is relatively low, and it can still provide a memory position function when the position feedback device is damaged or unavailable, ensuring that the basic operation of the electric furniture is not affected.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the first type of driver may be a Hall driver, and the corresponding position feedback device is a Hall sensor; the second type of driver is a driver without a position feedback device.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, the first type of driver may also be a potentiometer driver, and the corresponding second type of driver is a driver without a position feedback device.

[0041] In this embodiment, by detecting whether the position feedback signal is received, the control box can automatically determine the driver type and adaptively select the appropriate memory bit calling method based on the determination result. This adaptive mechanism can improve the flexibility and compatibility of electric furniture, so that the same control box can seamlessly switch between different types of drivers, reducing the need to write and maintain independent software codes for different driver types. In addition, the adaptive calling method can not only simplify software design, but also enhance the robustness of the system. Even in the event of a failure of the driver or its components (such as a Hall sensor), the memory bit function of the electric furniture can still be retained through backup methods (such as time counting), thereby improving the user experience and reducing the loss of function or inconvenience caused by hardware failure.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, detecting whether a first position feedback signal sent by the target driver is received includes: sending a test command to the target driver, wherein the test command is used to instruct the target driver to perform a telescopic action, and the telescopic amplitude of the telescopic action is less than a preset telescopic amplitude; detecting whether a first position feedback signal obtained by the target driver executing the test command is received.

[0043] Optionally, after the control box is started or the driver is connected, a test command is sent to the target driver. The purpose of this command is to make the driver perform a very small telescopic action, the telescopic range is less than the preset normal working range. This tiny action can avoid obvious movement of the electric furniture during the detection process, so as not to affect the user experience, especially when the user is lying on the bed. Taking the driver as a Hall driver as an example, during the telescopic action of the driver, the control box will detect whether the first position feedback signal generated by the Hall sensor is received. If the driver is equipped with a Hall sensor, then when performing the telescopic action, the Hall sensor will feedback a signal wave (i.e., the first position feedback signal) according to the position change of the driver. The control box can confirm that the driver connected at this time is a driver with a Hall sensor (i.e., with a position feedback function) by reading this signal wave. Once the control box receives the first position feedback signal, the control box will confirm that the target driver is a first type of driver and select the call method based on Hall counting to execute the memory bit. On the contrary, if the first position feedback signal (i.e., Hall signal) is not received, it is confirmed that the current connection is a normal driver without position feedback function, and then automatically switches to the call method based on time counting. By performing a small retracting motion instead of fully extending or retracting the actuator, false alarms caused by other factors (such as external interference) can be reduced. At the same time, this small retracting motion helps improve the accuracy of the Hall sensor feedback signal, because the actuator's travel change is small, and the position feedback signal can be detected more accurately.

[0044] Step S104, based on the driver type, determine the memory bit calling method of the electric furniture, wherein the memory bit calling method is a method of calling the memory bit based on the position feedback count or a method of calling the memory bit based on the time count, and the memory bit is used to indicate the target setting of the electric furniture.

[0045] Optionally, the control box automatically selects whether to use a precise calling method based on position feedback counts or a rough calling method based on time counts based on the detected driver type (first type driver or second type driver). This ensures that the memory bit function of the electric furniture can work properly regardless of the type of driver connected. By detecting the driver type and adjusting the memory bit calling method accordingly, electric furniture can be compatible with different types of drivers, enhancing the compatibility and flexibility of the control box. For example, when the position feedback device (such as a Hall sensor) in the first type driver is damaged, it can seamlessly switch to the time counting method to avoid failure of the memory bit function.

[0046] Optionally, the target setting can be a specific position setting that the electric furniture can remember and reproduce the user's preferences, such as different lifting heights, specifically, the height of the electric bed backrest. These positions can be set by the user according to personal comfort and needs, such as the best angle for watching TV, the inclination when reading, or the head and leg lifting height when sleeping. The memory position function allows the user to return to these previously saved personalized positions with one click through the remote control, application APP or control panel on the side of the bed, without having to manually adjust the inclination or height of the bed each time, which can greatly improve the convenience and comfort of electric furniture.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, a memory position calling method of electric furniture is determined based on the driver type, including: when the driver type is a first type driver, determining the memory position calling method as a method of calling the memory position based on position feedback count; or when the driver type is a second type driver, determining the memory position calling method as a method of calling the memory position based on time count, wherein the second type driver is a driver without a position feedback device.

[0048] Optionally, when the control box detects that the target drive sends a first position feedback signal, that is, it detects the feedback information of the Hall sensor when the drive is in motion, this indicates that the currently connected drive is a first type drive with a high-precision position feedback function. In this case, the control box automatically determines that the memory position calling method is a method based on position feedback counting (such as Hall counting), because the position feedback counting can provide more accurate position information and is suitable for application scenarios that require high-precision positioning, such as the calling of memory positions such as the TV chair position (TV), the sleeping position (antisnore) and the reading position (lounge) of electric furniture. During the process of testing or moving the electric furniture by calling the memory position based on the position feedback counting, the control box fails to detect the first position feedback signal (such as the Hall signal), which means that the target drive is not a first type drive, but may be a second type drive with a lower cost and no position feedback function. After determining that the drive type is a second type drive, the control box switches the memory position calling method to a method based on time counting. Although the time counting method has relatively low accuracy, it is cost-effective and can ensure that the memory position function is still available without a position feedback device. By setting the most appropriate memory position calling method according to the detected drive type, the most appropriate memory position calling method is automatically selected. This mechanism not only simplifies the software design of the control box, but also avoids writing and maintaining two independent sets of codes for different types of drives, and enhances the adaptability and robustness of the control box. When the position feedback device is damaged or unavailable, it can automatically switch to the time counting mode to ensure the continued effectiveness of the memory position function.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, when there are multiple target drivers, the memory bit calling method of the electric furniture is determined based on the driver type, including: based on the driver types corresponding to the several target drivers, determining the memory bit calling methods corresponding to the several target drivers respectively.

[0050] Optionally, when the electric furniture is equipped with multiple drivers, the control box will independently detect the type of each driver. The control box determines whether the driver has the Hall feedback function by sending a test command to let the driver perform a small telescopic movement. This process is performed independently for each driver, thereby ensuring the accuracy of each driver type judgment. Based on the type detection results of each driver, the control box independently selects the most appropriate memory bit calling method for each driver. This means that even if the types of different drivers on the electric furniture are different, the control box can flexibly select the appropriate calling method for each driver. For example, if the first driver is a first type driver, it will use a precise calling method based on position feedback counting; if the second driver is an ordinary driver (that is, a driver without position feedback counting function), it will use a calling method based on time counting.

[0051] In the above way, it can be ensured that electric furniture can be compatible with multiple different types of drives at the same time, and each drive interface can independently handle the type of drive connected to it without the need for additional manual configuration by users or maintenance personnel. This can not only simplify the design of electric furniture, but also improve the versatility and flexibility of the product in the market. By independently determining the calling method for each drive, electric furniture is able to allocate computing and control resources more efficiently. For example, if some of the drives on the electric furniture are high-precision first-type drives, and the second-type drives are lower-cost ordinary drives, resources can be optimized, using a high-precision method to process the first-type drives, while using a lower-cost method to process the ordinary drives, thereby achieving cost control and performance optimization while ensuring functionality.

[0052] Optionally, when the electric furniture is equipped with several target drivers, several driver interfaces set on the control box can be used to connect to the several target drivers one by one, and multiple driver modules corresponding to the several target drivers can be set in the control box, and each driver interface corresponds to a corresponding driver module. Whenever a driver is connected, the microcontroller unit (MCU) in the control box performs a self-test step on the corresponding driver module. Each driver module is independent of each other (for example, the first driver module executes a time counting method, and the second driver module executes a position feedback counting method). The user can set the memory bit through an application or a remote control. After reading the memory bit, the MCU drives the corresponding driver to execute the memory bit through position feedback counting or time counting.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, when the driver type is a method of calling memory bits based on position feedback counts, the method further includes: during the operation of the electric furniture in a method of calling memory bits based on position feedback counts, based on a preset timing task, detecting whether a second position feedback signal sent by the target driver is received; if the second position feedback signal is not received, switching the memory bit calling method from a method of calling memory bits based on position feedback counts to a method of calling memory bits based on time counts.

[0054] Optionally, when the electric furniture is operated in a manner of calling the memory bit based on the position feedback count, the control box will periodically execute a preset timing task and continuously loop the self-test of the driver. For example, based on the preset timing task, a test command can be cyclically sent to the target driver, and the second position feedback signal returned by the target driver can be continuously detected to detect whether the target driver sends the second position feedback signal normally. The second position feedback signal refers to the Hall signal continuously sent by the first type of driver to update the position information during the actual operation of the electric furniture. This detection process is intended to monitor the working status of the position feedback device (such as the Hall sensor) in real time to ensure the accuracy of the position information and the normal operation of the memory bit function. By continuously detecting the Hall signal during the operation of the electric furniture, it can be determined whether the Hall sensor is faulty or abnormal. For example, if the Hall sensor is damaged or loses the signal, the control box will no longer receive the second position feedback signal. In this case, measures need to be taken to avoid the failure of the memory bit function and ensure the stability and safety of the electric furniture. If the control box detects that the second position feedback signal is not received during the execution of the timing task, it means that the position feedback device may be damaged or the signal is interrupted. In order to ensure the availability of the memory bit function, the memory bit call mode will be automatically switched from the position feedback count-based mode to the time count-based mode. Although the time counting call method has lower accuracy, it can be used as a backup plan when the position feedback device is unavailable to ensure that the memory position function of the electric furniture continues to be effective. Even if the position feedback device fails during operation, the memory position function can be kept running by automatically switching to the time counting method, thereby reducing the risk of system downtime or loss of function due to hardware failure. Ensure that when the position feedback device fails, the electric furniture can seamlessly switch to the backup call method, and the user will not feel any functional changes or degradation when using the memory position function, thereby maintaining a good user experience and product stability.

[0055] Through the above steps S102 to S104, it is possible to identify the driver type of the electric furniture and dynamically determine the memory position calling method of the electric furniture to achieve the purpose of being compatible with both drivers with position feedback and without position feedback, thereby achieving flexible selection of the memory position calling method of the electric furniture to meet the technical effect of the dual requirements of accuracy and cost, and further solving the technical problem in the related technology that the control box needs to select one of the position feedback counting scheme or the time counting scheme at the initial design stage, and cannot meet the dual requirements of accuracy and cost at the same time.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments and optional embodiments, the present invention proposes an optional implementation method of a memory position calling processing method of an electric furniture drive system. Figure 2 is an optional electric furniture memory position calling principle diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2As shown, the driver self-test is performed to determine whether the driver type is a first type driver (such as a Hall driver) or a second type driver (such as a common driver). When the driver type is the first type driver, it is determined to use a method of calling the memory bit based on position feedback counts. When the driver type is a common driver, it is determined to use a method of calling the memory bit based on time counts. The driver self-test can be performed after the control box is powered on, or a timed self-test or a cyclic self-test can be performed, wherein:

[0057] Figure 3 is an optional control box power-on self-test flow chart according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, after the control box is powered on, the driver self-test is immediately performed to determine whether the driver is a first type driver or a second type driver. During the self-test, the driver end rises and falls in a short time. The self-test time is very short, so the driver stroke changes very little. After being placed on the whole bed, the driver stroke changes even less, and the customer cannot feel the change. During the self-test process, the driver type is determined by determining whether there is position feedback from the driver; if a position feedback signal is received, it indicates that the driver is a driver with a position feedback function, that is, a first type driver; if no position signal is received, it indicates that the driver is a driver without a position feedback function, that is, a normal driver. In the case where the driver type is a first type driver, it is determined to use a method based on position feedback count to call the memory bit; in the case where the driver type is a second type driver, it is determined to use a method based on time count to call the memory bit.

[0058] Figure 4 is an optional control box timing or cyclic self-test flow chart according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, through the timed task cycle self-test, first determine whether the drive type has a position feedback function or a drive without a position feedback function. The specific determination method is the same as the above Figure 3The process is the same and will not be repeated here. When the driver type is a driver with a position feedback function (i.e., the first type of driver), and the corresponding memory bit calling method is a method of calling the memory bit based on the position feedback count, if the position feedback signal cannot be received during the subsequent cyclic self-test process, it indicates that the position feedback device (such as the Hall sensor) may be faulty. At this time, in order to ensure the availability of the memory bit function, the memory bit calling method can be switched from a method of calling the memory bit based on the position feedback count to a method of calling the memory bit based on the time count, thereby ensuring that the memory bit function of the electric furniture continues to be effective. Even if the position feedback device fails during operation, the memory bit function can be maintained by automatically switching to the time count method, thereby reducing the risk of system downtime or loss of function due to hardware failure. Ensure that when the position feedback device fails, the electric furniture can seamlessly switch to the backup calling method, and the user will not feel the function change or degradation when using the memory bit function, thereby maintaining a good user experience and product stability.

[0059] Figure 5 is a flow chart of an optional driver self-test based on position signal feedback according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0060] The control box will send a test command to each driver of the electric furniture, and each driver will perform a very short extension-retraction action based on the test command; if the driver is equipped with a position feedback device (i.e., Hall element), a signal wave (i.e., position feedback signal) will be fed back when performing the extension-retraction action of the previous step. If the control box reads the signal wave, it will confirm that the driver connected at this time is a driver with a position feedback function, and the driver type is determined to be a first type driver, and the method of calling the memory bit based on the position feedback count is determined to be adopted; if the signal wave is not read, it will be confirmed that the driver connected at this time is a driver without a position feedback function, and the driver type is determined to be a second type driver, and the method of calling the memory bit based on the time count is determined to be adopted.

[0061] In this embodiment, an electric furniture is also provided, which includes: an electric furniture body; a control box, which is arranged on the electric furniture body and is used to execute any one of the above-mentioned memory bit call processing methods of the electric furniture drive system; wherein, the control box is provided with a plurality of driver interfaces, and the plurality of driver interfaces are connected one-to-one with a plurality of target drivers.

[0062] The control box in this embodiment can be used for the memory position calling processing method of the electric furniture driving system in any of the above embodiments. Figure 6This is an optional control box connection diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention. The control box using the above memory bit calling method may have several driver interfaces, each driver interface corresponds to a corresponding driver module. Whenever a driver is connected, the MCU in the control box performs a self-check step on the corresponding driver module. Each driver module is independent of each other (for example, the first driver module executes a time counting method, and the second driver module executes a position feedback counting method). The user can set the memory bit through an application or a remote control. After reading the memory bit, the MCU drives the corresponding driver to execute the memory bit by position feedback counting or time counting.

[0063] Through this embodiment, the control box can adaptively determine the driver type and determine the memory bit calculation method according to the driver type. This embodiment can at least achieve the following technical effects: 1) Previously, the position feedback counting and time counting were two sets of programs, and two sets of codes needed to be written and established to correspond to two different control boxes. After the adaptive algorithm, one control box can be shared, which reduces the number of control box codes and facilitates product maintenance. 2) When the position feedback part (such as the Hall part) in the first type of driver of the client is damaged, the memory bit function will fail, but this control box will automatically switch to the time scheme, and the memory bit function will still be valid. 3) The same control box can be compatible with two types of drivers with position feedback and without position feedback cards (such as with Hall and without Hall). Each driver can realize the memory bit function, and the interface is universal.
