Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fans, and particularly to a manufacturing method of a fan with automatic tracking and positioning. Background Art

[0002] Existing ones are often handheld hair dryers or fixed-position hair dryers fixed on a shelf. After a person washes their hair, they need to hold the hair dryer to dry their hair. For some ladies with more and longer hair, they need to hold the hair dryer in their hand for a long time to dry their hair. Because users hold the hair dryer for a long time, discomfort symptoms such as wrist soreness are likely to occur, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0003] For some pets with more and thicker hair, such as large dogs; when a person bathes these dogs, they need to hold the hair dryer for a long time to dry the hair on the dog's body, causing wrist soreness for the user and consuming time and energy.

[0004] For some hair dryers fixed on a support frame or wall; after a person washes their hair, they need to align the hair position with the air outlet of the hair dryer. In this way, when the user's head moves, especially for active children and pets, it is difficult for this fixed-position hair dryer to ensure the hair drying effect.

[0005] For existing fixed-position electric fans and electric heaters, when a person or a pet moves, it is often necessary to manually adjust the blowing angle of these fans to ensure the blowing effect on the person or the pet.

[0006] For oscillating electric fans and electric heaters, the oscillating fan can only shake its head and blow air evenly and at a constant speed. When there are multiple people or pets in different positions, the blowing direction of this type of oscillating fan cannot accurately align with the object to be blown; especially when multiple people or pets are far apart, the oscillating fan wastes a lot of time when rotating in these distances and the wind does not blow on the person or pet to be blown, wasting energy and reducing the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the above technologies to a certain extent. To achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention proposes a manufacturing method of a fan with automatic tracking and positioning, including the following steps:

[0008] Material and component preparation step: a data calculation device and a fan system;

[0009] Among them, the data calculation device includes a cloud computing platform and a local computer;

[0010] The fan system includes a fan body. A scanning device is provided at the head of the fan body. A fan pitching motor is provided at the upper end of the support part of the fan body, a horizontal rotation motor is provided at the lower end, and a vertical movement motor is provided in the middle;

[0011] Steps to implement the automatic tracking and positioning function: When the fan is in use, the fan blades rotate, and the horizontal rotation motor drives the rocker arm and the swing rod to rotate, causing the fan head to rotate. The scanning device is positioned in the direction close to the fan. When a human body is sensed, an electrical signal is transmitted to the data calculation device, and the data calculation device controls the shaking head motor to stop working, causing the fan head to stop shaking and positioning at the user's position. When the user leaves the working range of the scanning device, the scanning device transmits the corresponding electrical signal to the data calculation device, and the data calculation device controls the shaking head motor to continue working, and the fan head resumes the shaking action.

[0012] Furthermore, the specific implementation method of the automatic tracking and positioning includes:

[0013] S1: The scanning device scans the surrounding space, and the scanning device rotates following the angle of the fan for fan-shaped scanning;

[0014] S2: Obtain multiple characteristic data of the scanned object, including human body characteristics and other non-human body characteristics;

[0015] S3: Transmit the data to the data calculation device for calculation, and calculate the comparison between the object characteristic information and the object characteristic information recorded in the storage device;

[0016] S4: Judge human body characteristics or other non-human body characteristics;

[0017] S5: Calculate the spatial coordinates of the recognized object relative to the fan system;

[0018] S6: Control the rotation of the horizontal rotation motor, the up and down movement motor, and the fan head up and down motor of the fan system, and then control the blowing direction of the fan head;

[0019] S7: Align the blowing direction of the fan or the hair dryer with the spatial coordinates of the recognized object;

[0020] S8: Start the blowing and heating functions of the hair dryer and the fan, and blow.

[0021] Furthermore, the data calculation device: a CPU, GPU, or AI processor local or in the cloud.

[0022] Advantages of the present invention

[0023] The present invention uses camera recognition technology to identify human hair or pet hair through a camera, and calculates the orientation and coordinates of these hairs relative to the air outlet of the fan, so as to precisely control the blowing effect of the hair dryer and the fan on human hair or pet hair. It solves the problem that it is tiring to hold a hand-held hair dryer for a long time and the use experience is not good. The present invention can be fixed on the wall or a movable base, accurately identify and locate the hair through the camera, realize automatic tracking and blowing, and liberate the user's hands.

[0024] The present invention solves the problem that a hair dryer with a fixed base cannot accurately align with the hair after the human body or pet moves. The present invention solves the problem that an electric fan and an electric heater need to be manually adjusted in the blowing direction after a person or a pet moves. The present invention solves the problem that the blowing directions of a shaking electric fan and an electric heater cannot accurately align with multiple moving people or pets, thereby improving the user experience. The present invention can accurately track the identified human hair or pet hair, thereby realizing full-automatic tracking of the object to be blown, liberating the user's hands, and improving the user experience.

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0029] A method for manufacturing an automatically tracking and positioning fan according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, the method for manufacturing an automatically tracking and positioning fan mainly includes two steps: material and component preparation and realization of the automatically tracking and positioning function.

[0031] Material and Component Preparation Step

[0032] A data calculation device and a fan system need to be prepared. Among them, the data calculation device can adopt a cloud computing platform, or it can be a CPU, GPU or AI processor in the local or cloud. The fan system includes a fan body. A scanning device is provided at the head of the fan body. A fan pitching motor is installed at the upper end of the supporting part, a horizontal rotation motor is equipped at the lower end, and a vertical movement motor is provided in the middle.

[0033] Steps to achieve the automatic tracking and positioning function

[0034] Basic tracking and positioning: When the fan is in use, the fan blades rotate, and the horizontal rotation motor drives the rocker arm and the swing rod to rotate, so that the fan head rotates. The scanning device senses in the direction position close to the fan. When a human body is sensed, it will transmit an electrical signal to the data calculation device. The data calculation device will then control the shaking head motor to stop working, so that the fan head stops shaking, and then locates at the user's position; when the user leaves the working range of the scanning device, the scanning device will transmit the corresponding electrical signal to the data calculation device, and the data calculation device controls the shaking head motor to continue working, and the fan head resumes the shaking action.

[0035] Specific tracking and positioning method: First, the scanning device will scan the surrounding space and perform fan-shaped scanning following the angle of the fan. During this process, multiple characteristic data of the scanned object are obtained, including human body characteristics and other non-human body characteristics. Then, these data are transmitted to the data calculation device for calculation. The calculated object characteristic information is compared with the object characteristic information recorded in the storage device, and then the human body characteristics or other non-human body characteristics are judged. Next, the spatial coordinates of the recognized object relative to the fan system are calculated, and then by controlling the rotation of the horizontal rotation motor, the vertical movement motor and the fan pitching motor of the fan system, the blowing direction of the fan head is controlled, and finally the blowing direction of the fan is aligned with the spatial coordinates of the recognized object. Finally, the blowing and heating functions of the hair dryer and the fan are started to achieve blowing.

[0036] The user turns on the fan switch, and then the camera of the scanning device of the fan is started. After the camera sends the scanned data to the calculation device, the human body or pet in the space is recognized, and then the azimuth motor of the hair dryer or the electric fan is controlled to align the wind direction with the target object.

[0037] Horizontal rotation motor: Controls the rotation of the fan in the horizontal direction on the ground.

[0038] Vertical movement motor: Controls the raising and lowering of the fan in the vertical direction.

[0039] Fan pitching motor: Controls the pitching of the fan head.

[0040] Scanning device (camera): Scanning devices such as cameras to scan the surrounding environmental information.

[0041] Data computing device: computing devices such as CPUs, GPUs, AI processors, etc. locally or in the cloud.

[0042] Fan system: the head position of the fan, including components such as the fan blades and the motor that drives the fan blades to rotate.

[0043] Object to be scanned: human body, human hair, animals, and animal hair, etc.
