[0061] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all 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.

[0062] In order to prevent the noise generated by the plasma generator from affecting the user, an embodiment of the present invention provides a noise reduction method for a plasma generator; the method can offset the noise generated by the plasma generator in the environment by generating audio data for offsetting the noise and playing the audio data; thereby effectively suppressing the noise generated in the process of the plasma generator generating plasma.

[0063] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , shows a step flow chart of a noise reduction method for a plasma generator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the noise reduction method of the plasma generator may include the following steps:

[0065] Step 101 : During the operation of a plasma generating device, first audio data obtained by collecting noise generated by the plasma generating device is obtained from a microphone.

[0066] In practical applications, the plasma generator may include a plasma generating device, a microphone and a speaker; wherein the plasma generating device may be used to generate plasma gas, the microphone may be used to collect sounds in the environment and generate corresponding audio data, and the speaker may be used to play audio data.

[0067] Exemplarily, the plasma generator may be a variable frequency device, which can automatically adjust the operating frequency according to environmental conditions, thereby achieving more precise control and higher energy efficiency.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the plasma generator is in operation, the controller in the plasma generator may obtain, from the microphone, first audio data obtained by the microphone from collecting noise generated by the plasma generator.

[0069] Exemplarily, the microphone can continuously collect the noise generated by the plasma generating device during the operation of the plasma generating device, and generate corresponding first audio data to send to the controller.

[0070] Step 102: Generate second audio data for canceling the first audio data.

[0071] After receiving the first audio data, the controller can analyze and convert it, and generate second audio data that can be used to offset the noise corresponding to the first audio data; the second audio data is audio data that can offset the noise generated by the current plasma generating device.

[0072] Step 103: Control the speaker to play the second audio data.

[0073] Next, the controller can control the speaker to play the second audio data to play the sound corresponding to the second audio data in the environment to offset the noise generated by the plasma generating device during operation in the environment, thereby offsetting the impact of the noise generated by the plasma generating device during operation on the user.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the operation of the plasma generator, first audio data obtained by collecting the noise generated by the plasma generator is obtained from the microphone; second audio data for canceling the first audio data is generated; and the speaker is controlled to play the second audio data. Through the embodiment of the present invention, the noise generated by the plasma generator in the environment can be canceled by generating audio data for canceling the noise and playing the audio data; thereby effectively suppressing the noise generated during the operation of the plasma generator to generate plasma.

[0075] Reference Figure 2 , shows a flowchart of another method for reducing noise of a plasma generator according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0076] Step 201 : During the operation of a plasma generating device, first audio data collected from a microphone is obtained by collecting noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0077] When the plasma generator is in operation, the controller in the plasma generator may obtain, from the microphone, first audio data obtained by the microphone from noise generated by the plasma generator.

[0078] Exemplarily, the microphone can continuously collect the noise generated by the plasma generating device during the operation of the plasma generating device, and generate corresponding first audio data to send to the controller.

[0079] Step 202: Generate second audio data with a phase opposite to that of the first audio data.

[0080] After receiving the first audio data, the controller may analyze and convert the first audio data and generate second audio data that can be used to offset the first audio data. Specifically, the controller may generate the second audio data with a phase opposite to that of the first audio data.

[0081] For example, noise can be canceled by generating a sound wave with a phase opposite to that of the noise. This process can be described by the following formula:

[0082] y(t)=-H(x(t))

[0083] in:

[0084] y(t) is the generated noise reduction signal, that is, the first audio data.

[0085] x(t) is the detected noise signal, ie, the second audio data.

[0086] H is a transfer function that is used to generate a signal that is in phase opposite to the noise signal.

[0087] Specifically, the controller's workflow is as follows:

[0088] Noise detection: The microphone detects the noise signal x(t) in the environment.

[0089] Signal processing: The controller processes the noise signal according to the transfer function H and generates a signal y(t) with opposite phase.

[0090] The design of the transfer function H depends on many factors, including the frequency response and phase characteristics of the system. Common design methods include:

[0091] Adaptive filter: Uses an adaptive algorithm (such as the LMS algorithm) to dynamically adjust the transfer function to better match the actual noise environment.

[0092] Fixed filter: A pre-designed filter that is suitable for a specific type of noise.

[0093] Assuming that the Fourier transform of the noise signal x(t) is X(f), the Fourier transform Y(f) of the generated noise-reduced signal y(t) can be expressed as:

[0094] Y(f)=-H(f)·X(f)

[0095] Where H(f) is the representation of the transfer function in the frequency domain.

[0096] Step 203: Control the speaker to play the second audio data.

[0097] After generating the second audio data, the controller can control the speaker to play the second audio data, so as to play the sound corresponding to the second audio data in the environment to offset the noise generated by the plasma generating device during operation in the environment, thereby offsetting the impact of the noise generated by the plasma generating device during operation on the user.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present invention, the above method may further include the following steps:

[0099] When the plasma generator is started, the plasma generating device is driven by a driving signal of a first frequency; when the volume of the first audio data exceeds a preset decibel value, the plasma generating device is driven by a driving signal of a second frequency; the first frequency is greater than the second frequency.

[0100] In some feasible embodiments, when the plasma generator is started, the controller may drive the plasma generating device with a driving signal of a first frequency; specifically, the controller may generate a driving signal of a first frequency, for example, 20KHZ, when the plasma generator is started.

[0101] Then, the driving module can convert it into an electrical control signal for driving the plasma generating device to drive the plasma device to generate plasma gas.

[0102] When it is detected that the volume of the first audio data exceeds a preset decibel value, for example, 35db, the controller can drive the plasma generating device with a driving signal of a second frequency; illustratively, the second frequency can be 2KHZ, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the operation of the plasma generator, first audio data obtained by collecting the noise generated by the plasma generator is obtained from the microphone; second audio data with a phase opposite to the first audio data is generated; and the speaker is controlled to play the second audio data. Through the embodiment of the present invention, the noise generated by the plasma generator in the environment can be offset by generating audio data for offsetting the noise and playing the audio data; thereby effectively suppressing the noise generated by the plasma generator during the operation of the plasma generator to generate plasma.

[0104] Furthermore, when the noise of the plasma generator is relatively large, the volume of the noise generated by the plasma generator can be reduced by lowering the operating frequency of the plasma generator.

[0105] Reference Figure 3 , shows a flowchart of another method for reducing noise of a plasma generator according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0106] Step 301: During the operation of a plasma generating device, first audio data obtained by collecting noise generated by the plasma generating device is obtained from a microphone.

[0107] When the plasma generator is in operation, the controller in the plasma generator may obtain, from the microphone, first audio data obtained by the microphone from noise generated by the plasma generator.

[0108] Exemplarily, the microphone can continuously collect the noise generated by the plasma generating device during the operation of the plasma generating device, and generate corresponding first audio data to send to the controller.

[0109] Step 302: Generate second audio data with a phase opposite to that of the first audio data.

[0110] After receiving the first audio data, the controller may analyze and convert the first audio data and generate second audio data that can be used to offset the first audio data. Specifically, the controller may generate the second audio data with a phase opposite to that of the first audio data.

[0111] Step 303: Detect whether there is a need to reduce noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0112] In some feasible embodiments, before performing noise reduction, it is also possible to first detect whether there is a need for noise reduction for the noise generated by the plasma generator; that is, whether it is necessary to reduce the noise generated by the plasma generator. For example, when there is no one in the environment where the plasma generator is located, the imaging generated by the plasma generator will not affect the user, and noise reduction may not be performed at this time to save resources.

[0113] Step 304: When there is no noise reduction requirement, stop controlling the speaker to play the second audio data.

[0114] Based on this, when it is determined that there is no noise reduction demand at present, the speaker can be stopped from being controlled to play the second audio data until there is a noise reduction demand.

[0115] Step 305: When there is a noise reduction requirement, control the speaker to play the second audio data.

[0116] On the contrary, if it is determined that there is a noise reduction demand currently, the speaker can be controlled to play the second audio data to perform noise reduction processing on the noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the operation of the plasma generator, first audio data obtained by collecting the noise generated by the plasma generator is obtained from the microphone; second audio data with a phase opposite to the first audio data is generated; whether there is a need for noise reduction for the noise generated by the plasma generator is detected; when there is no need for noise reduction, the speaker is stopped from playing the second audio data; when there is a need for noise reduction, the speaker is controlled to play the second audio data. Through the embodiment of the present invention, the noise generated by the plasma generator in the environment can be offset by generating audio data for offsetting the noise and playing the audio data; thereby effectively suppressing the noise generated by the plasma generator during the operation of the plasma generator to generate plasma.

[0118] Furthermore, the noise generated by the plasma generating device is reduced only when there is a need for noise reduction, thereby effectively avoiding waste of resources.

[0119] Reference Figure 4 , shows a flowchart of another method for reducing noise of a plasma generator according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0120] Step 401: During the operation of the plasma generating device, first audio data obtained by collecting noise generated by the plasma generating device is obtained from a microphone.

[0121] When the plasma generator is in operation, the controller in the plasma generator may obtain, from the microphone, first audio data obtained by the microphone from noise generated by the plasma generator.

[0122] Step 402: Generate second audio data with a phase opposite to that of the first audio data.

[0123] After receiving the first audio data, the controller may analyze and convert the first audio data and generate second audio data that can be used to offset the first audio data. Specifically, the controller may generate the second audio data with a phase opposite to that of the first audio data.

[0124] Step 403: Acquire third audio data collected from the ambient noise in the environment where the plasma generator is located.

[0125] In some feasible embodiments, third audio data collected from the environmental noise in the environment where the plasma generator is located may be additionally obtained; the third audio data is audio data collected from other noises in the environment except the noise generated by the plasma generator.

[0126] Step 404: When the volume of the third audio data is greater than the volume of the second audio data, it is determined that there is no need to reduce the noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0127] After obtaining the third audio data, it can be detected whether the volume of the third audio data is greater than the volume of the second audio data, so as to determine whether it is still necessary to reduce the noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0128] Specifically, when the volume of the third audio data is greater than the volume of the second audio data, it can be considered that the ambient noise is already very loud at this time, and what the user perceives is the ambient noise rather than the noise generated by the plasma generator; therefore, no noise reduction is performed on the noise generated by the plasma generator at this time, that is, it can be determined that there is currently no need to reduce the noise generated by the plasma generator.

[0129] Step 405: When the volume of the third audio data is lower than the volume of the second audio data, it is determined that there is no need to reduce the noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0130] On the contrary, if the volume of the third audio data is smaller than the volume of the second audio data, it can be considered that the ambient noise is smaller at this time, and what the user perceives is the noise generated by the plasma generator; therefore, the noise generated by the plasma generator can be reduced at this time, that is, it can be determined that there is currently a need for noise reduction for the noise generated by the plasma generator.

[0131] Step 406: When there is no noise reduction requirement, stop controlling the speaker to play the second audio data.

[0132] When it is determined that there is no noise reduction demand at present, the control of the speaker to play the second audio data may be stopped until there is a noise reduction demand.

[0133] Step 407: When there is a noise reduction requirement, control the speaker to play the second audio data.

[0134] On the contrary, if it is determined that there is a noise reduction demand currently, the speaker can be controlled to play the second audio data to perform noise reduction processing on the noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0135] In an embodiment of the present invention, during the operation of the plasma generator, first audio data obtained by collecting the noise generated by the plasma generator is obtained from the microphone; second audio data with a phase opposite to the first audio data is generated; third audio data obtained by collecting the environmental noise in the environment where the plasma generator is located is obtained; when the volume of the third audio data is greater than the volume of the second audio data, it is determined that there is no need for noise reduction for the noise generated by the plasma generator; when the volume of the third audio data is less than the volume of the second audio data, it is determined that there is no need for noise reduction for the noise generated by the plasma generator; when there is no need for noise reduction, stop controlling the speaker to play the second audio data; when there is a need for noise reduction, control the speaker to play the second audio data. Through the embodiment of the present invention, the noise generated by the plasma generator in the environment can be offset by generating audio data for offsetting the noise and playing the audio data; thereby effectively suppressing the noise generated in the process of the plasma generator generating plasma.

[0136] Furthermore, the noise generated by the plasma generating device is reduced only when there is a need for noise reduction, thereby effectively avoiding waste of resources.

[0137] Reference Figure 5 , shows a flowchart of another method for reducing noise of a plasma generator according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0138] Step 501: During the operation of a plasma generating device, first audio data obtained by collecting noise generated by the plasma generating device is obtained from a microphone.

[0139] When the plasma generator is in operation, the controller in the plasma generator may obtain, from the microphone, first audio data obtained by the microphone from noise generated by the plasma generator.

[0140] Step 502: Generate second audio data with a phase opposite to that of the first audio data.

[0141] After receiving the first audio data, the controller may analyze and convert the first audio data and generate second audio data that can be used to offset the first audio data. Specifically, the controller may generate the second audio data with a phase opposite to that of the first audio data.

[0142] Step 503: When the environment where the plasma generator is located is in an unmanned state, it is determined that there is no need to reduce the noise generated by the plasma generator.

[0143] In some feasible embodiments, when the controller detects that the environment where the plasma generator is located is in an unmanned state, that is, when there is no one in the environment, the controller may also determine that there is currently no need to reduce the noise generated by the plasma generator.

[0144] On the contrary, when it is detected that the environment where the plasma generator is located is in a human state, that is, when there are people in the environment, the controller can determine that there is currently a need to reduce noise generated by the plasma generator.

[0145] Exemplarily, it is possible to determine whether the environment where the plasma generator is located is in an unmanned state based on image data captured by an image acquisition device, or to determine whether the environment where the plasma generator is located is in an unmanned state based on whether there are human-related sounds (for example, the sound of a person talking, the sound of a person moving, etc.) in the first audio data generated by a microphone. This is not limited to this embodiment of the present invention.

[0146] Step 504: When there is no noise reduction requirement, stop controlling the speaker to play the second audio data.

[0147] When it is determined that there is no noise reduction demand at present, the control of the speaker to play the second audio data may be stopped until there is a noise reduction demand.

[0148] Step 505: When there is a noise reduction requirement, control the speaker to play the second audio data.

[0149] On the contrary, if it is determined that there is a noise reduction demand currently, the speaker can be controlled to play the second audio data to perform noise reduction processing on the noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0150] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the operation of the plasma generator, first audio data obtained by collecting the noise generated by the plasma generator is obtained from the microphone; second audio data with a phase opposite to the first audio data is generated; when the environment where the plasma generator is located is in an unmanned state, it is determined that there is no need to reduce the noise generated by the plasma generator; when there is no need to reduce the noise, the speaker is stopped from playing the second audio data; when there is a need to reduce the noise, the speaker is controlled to play the second audio data. Through the embodiment of the present invention, the noise generated by the plasma generator in the environment can be offset by generating audio data for offsetting the noise and playing the audio data; thereby effectively suppressing the noise generated by the plasma generator during the operation of the plasma generator to generate plasma.

[0151] Furthermore, the noise generated by the plasma generating device is reduced only when there is a need for noise reduction, thereby effectively avoiding waste of resources.

[0152] Reference Figure 6 , shows a flowchart of another method for reducing noise of a plasma generator according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0153] Step 601: During the operation of a plasma generating device, first audio data obtained by collecting noise generated by the plasma generating device is obtained from a microphone.

[0154] When the plasma generator is in operation, the controller in the plasma generator may obtain, from the microphone, first audio data obtained by the microphone from noise generated by the plasma generator.

[0155] Step 602: Generate second audio data with a phase opposite to that of the first audio data.

[0156] After receiving the first audio data, the controller may analyze and convert the first audio data and generate second audio data that can be used to offset the first audio data. Specifically, the controller may generate the second audio data with a phase opposite to that of the first audio data.

[0157] Step 603: In the first time period, determine whether there is a need to reduce noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0158] In some feasible embodiments, the user may pre-set noise reduction strategies for the noise generated by the plasma generating device in different time periods; for example, it may be set that at night, i.e., in the first time period, there is a need to reduce the noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0159] When the time is in the first time period, it can be determined that there is currently a need to reduce noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0160] Step 604: In the second time period, determine that there is no need to reduce the noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0161] On the contrary, the user can also set that during the day, that is, in the second time period, there is no need to reduce the noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0162] When the time is in the second time period, it can be determined that there is currently no need to reduce the noise generated by the plasma generating device. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific implementation of the first time period and the second time period.

[0163] Step 605: When there is no noise reduction requirement, stop controlling the speaker to play the second audio data.

[0164] When it is determined that there is no noise reduction demand at present, the control of the speaker to play the second audio data may be stopped until there is a noise reduction demand.

[0165] Step 606: When there is a noise reduction requirement, control the speaker to play the second audio data.

[0166] On the contrary, if it is determined that there is a noise reduction demand currently, the speaker can be controlled to play the second audio data to perform noise reduction processing on the noise generated by the plasma generating device.

[0167] In an embodiment of the present invention, during the operation of a plasma generator, first audio data obtained by collecting noise generated by the plasma generator is obtained from a microphone; second audio data with a phase opposite to the first audio data is generated; in a first time period, it is determined that there is a need for noise reduction for the noise generated by the plasma generator; in a second time period, it is determined that there is no need for noise reduction for the noise generated by the plasma generator; when there is no need for noise reduction, control of the speaker to play the second audio data is stopped; when there is a need for noise reduction, the speaker is controlled to play the second audio data. Through the embodiment of the present invention, the noise generated by the plasma generator in the environment can be offset by generating audio data for offsetting noise and playing the audio data; thereby effectively suppressing the noise generated by the plasma generator during the operation of the plasma generator to generate plasma.

[0168] Furthermore, the noise generated by the plasma generating device is reduced only when there is a need for noise reduction, thereby effectively avoiding waste of resources.
