Existing disinfection and purification equipment has shortcomings in terms of treatment efficiency, adaptability and automation. For example, traditional purification equipment can only treat a single type of pollutant or requires frequent manual adjustment of parameters, which not only results in low disinfection and purification efficiency but may also increase maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides an air purifier control method, device, air purifier and storage medium to solve the problem that frequent manual adjustment of parameters not only leads to low disinfection and purification efficiency, but may also increase maintenance costs.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an air purifier control method, wherein the air purifier is configured with multiple purification function modules, and each purification function module integrates a set of purification execution devices related to its corresponding purification function. The method includes: acquiring current environmental data; matching the current environmental data with a preset purification function execution rule library to determine a target purification execution scheme corresponding to each purification function, wherein the rule library contains purification execution schemes corresponding to different environmental data ranges for each purification function; comparing the target purification execution scheme corresponding to the current purification function with the purification execution scheme currently being run by the current purification function; if the target purification execution scheme corresponding to the current purification function is inconsistent with the purification execution scheme currently being run by the current purification function, then controlling each purification execution device in the set of purification execution devices integrated by the purification function module corresponding to the current purification function to execute the target purification execution scheme.

[0005] The air purifier control method provided by this invention designs an air purifier equipped with multiple purification function modules, and each purification function module integrates a set of purification execution devices related to its corresponding purification function, thereby achieving comprehensive air quality purification. By acquiring current environmental data, the method matches the current environmental data with a preset purification function execution rule library to determine the target purification execution scheme corresponding to each purification function. When it is determined that the target purification execution scheme corresponding to the current purification function is inconsistent with the purification execution scheme currently being run by the current purification function, the method controls each purification execution device in the set of purification execution devices integrated in the purification function module corresponding to the current purification function to execute the target purification execution scheme. This enables automatic switching of the working status parameters of the purification execution devices according to environmental changes, which can effectively ensure air quality, optimize environmental regulation, and improve people's quality of life.

[0006] In one optional implementation, the step of matching the current environmental data with a preset purification function execution rule base to determine the target purification execution scheme corresponding to each purification function includes: extracting environmental feature parameters from the current environmental data; determining the purification level corresponding to each purification function based on preset purification level matching rules or preset level evaluation models and the environmental feature parameters; and querying the purification function execution rule base based on the purification level corresponding to each purification function to determine the target execution scheme corresponding to each purification function.

[0007] This invention designs different environmental characteristic parameters to correspond to different purification levels and target execution schemes, which can be adjusted in a timely manner according to dynamic changes in the environment, thereby improving the adaptability of the purification function to complex and ever-changing environments.

[0010] In one optional implementation, the step of matching the current environmental data with a preset purification function execution rule library to determine the target purification execution scheme corresponding to each purification function includes: extracting environmental feature parameters from the current environmental data; when multiple pollutant features are detected in the environmental feature parameters, matching each pollutant feature with the preset purification function execution rule library to determine the target execution scheme corresponding to each purification function for each pollutant feature; and, based on the purification time requirement and the energy consumption requirement of the air purifier, comprehensively scheduling and processing the target execution schemes corresponding to each purification function for each pollutant feature to obtain the target purification execution scheme for each purification function for each pollutant feature.

[0011] This invention can formulate purification strategies for each pollutant and take into account the overall purification effect of multiple pollutants through comprehensive scheduling, ensuring that all pollutants can achieve the expected purification goals. At the same time, the optimization of energy consumption reduces the user's operating costs and meets the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0013] This invention, through a series of intelligent and integrated processes, not only improves air quality but also ensures high-quality control of air purifiers, providing a feasible solution for purifying pollutants.

[0014] In an optional implementation, the method further includes: monitoring the operating status of the air purifier; when the operating status is detected to be abnormal, sending a prompt message indicating the abnormality to the user; and / or, re-executing the step of matching the current environmental data with a preset purification function execution rule base to determine the target purification execution scheme corresponding to each purification function.

[0015] Secondly, the present invention provides an air purifier control device, wherein the air purifier is configured with multiple purification function modules, and each purification function module integrates a set of purification execution devices related to its corresponding purification function. The device includes: a data acquisition module for acquiring current environmental data; a purification execution scheme determination module for matching the current environmental data with a preset purification function execution rule library to determine the target purification execution scheme corresponding to each purification function, wherein the rule library contains purification execution schemes corresponding to different environmental data ranges for each purification function; a scheme comparison module for comparing the target purification execution scheme corresponding to the current purification function with the purification execution scheme currently running for the current purification function; and a scheme execution module for controlling each purification execution device in the set of purification execution devices integrated by the purification function module corresponding to the current purification function to execute the target purification execution scheme if the comparison between the target purification execution scheme corresponding to the current purification function and the purification execution scheme currently running for the current purification function is inconsistent.

[0016] Thirdly, the present invention provides an air purifier, the air purifier including a controller and a plurality of purification function modules, and each purification function module integrating a set of purification execution devices related to its corresponding purification function. The controller includes a memory and a processor, the memory and the processor being communicatively connected to each other.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of an air purifier control method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0030] This embodiment provides an air purifier control method, applied to the controller in the air purifier, wherein the air purifier is configured with multiple purification function modules, and each purification function module integrates a set of purification execution devices related to its corresponding purification function.

[0031] In designing the integrated control system for an air purifier, this invention first collects information about the surrounding environment. It conducts a detailed survey and needs assessment of the functional requirements for ensuring high-quality air, the status of existing facilities, and understands the actual needs of owners or users. This clarifies the system's construction goals and establishes standards and specifications, including improving energy efficiency, enhancing air purification capabilities, and improving user experience. This not only provides detailed data support for subsequent management tasks but also enhances the system's maintainability and scalability, ensuring that the purification and disinfection equipment can monitor the system status at any time and make rapid decisions.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention designs the overall air purifier system architecture based on the acquired requirements, including hardware device selection and software platform construction. It can integrate various disinfection and purification technologies (such as ultraviolet light, plasma, filtration, and chemical catalysis purification devices) into the air purifier, and can flexibly configure different combinations of purification function modules (such as sterilization, dust removal, purification, disinfection, and odor removal) according to different application scenarios and needs, improving adaptability and scalability. All purification devices capable of achieving the current purification function are integrated into the current purification function module (for example, integrating ultraviolet light and plasma purification devices into the sterilization module can significantly improve sterilization efficiency while reducing ozone residue; and using high-precision filter materials, such as high-efficiency particulate air filters (HEPA) and activated carbon filters, can achieve efficient filtration of particulate matter and harmful gases). The modular design makes air purifier maintenance more convenient, and replacing filters, sensors, and other components simpler.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in addition to dividing various purification function modules (such as including but not limited to sterilization, disinfection, and purification modules), this embodiment of the invention also designs an energy management module, an intelligent control module (integrated with a controller), an early warning module, a fault diagnosis module (used to monitor the purifier status in real time, automatically alarm and provide solutions when a fault is detected, and integrate multiple protection functions such as overcurrent, overvoltage, and leakage current), and an environmental monitoring module (used to collect environmental data). It also determines the interface relationships between each module, establishes unified data formats, communication protocols, and other technical standards to ensure seamless integration between different modules. Through various sensor devices in the environmental monitoring module, it continuously monitors changes in the environment and energy consumption, integrates and processes the massive amounts of data collected by the high-efficiency disinfection and purification purifier in different scenarios, and uses data visualization technology to present real-time information such as energy consumption, temperature and humidity, and air quality in an intuitive way, helping users quickly understand the air quality of their environment.

[0034] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of an air purifier control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0035] Step S301: Obtain current environmental data.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, the environmental monitoring module configured on the air purifier can collect current environmental data, including but not limited to air quality data such as PM2.5 concentration, formaldehyde concentration, odor type, bacterial content, and virus type, as well as current time and comfort information (temperature, humidity, light intensity, noise level, and pedestrian flow). The collected data is transmitted to the controller via wired or wireless network to ensure the real-time performance and accuracy of the data.

[0037] Step S302: Match the current environmental data with the preset purification function execution rule library to determine the target purification execution plan corresponding to each purification function.

[0038] The rule base contains purification execution plans for different environmental data ranges corresponding to each purification function.

[0039] Based on the acquired current environmental data, this invention can accurately distinguish different types of task scenarios (such as industrial workshops, hospitals, public places, and home environments), understand the types and quantities of viruses and pollutants to be disinfected, and determine whether the types and concentrations of pollutants are within the normal range. If they are within the normal range, disinfection is not required. The normal range can be set specifically according to the task scenario. Hospitals and homes have higher requirements for air quality, so a lower range can be set accordingly. This is just an example.

[0040] If the types and concentrations of pollutants are outside the normal range, it indicates that the air quality is substandard, and disinfection can be carried out. The current environmental data is matched with the preset purification function execution rule library to determine the target purification execution plan corresponding to each purification function. First, based on the type and concentration of pollutants, the purification function module that needs to perform the task is determined. For example, if the temperature and humidity are too high, the sterilization module needs to perform the task. Then, based on the comparison of humidity and temperature with preset thresholds, the corresponding operating status parameters of each sterilization execution device integrated in the sterilization module can be determined. The rule library contains purification execution plans corresponding to different environmental data ranges for each purification function. Different environmental data ranges include, but are not limited to, pollutant concentration thresholds, pollutant types, comfort thresholds, etc. The purification execution plan includes, but is not limited to, the operating status parameters of each purification execution device. For example, if the PM2.5 concentration exceeds 75μg / m³, the fan speed can be increased to the maximum level to activate the purification function module; if the temperature exceeds 30°C and the humidity exceeds 60%, the disinfection and sterilization function can be activated; if the noise level exceeds 60dB, the fan speed can be reduced to reduce noise. This is just an example.

[0041] Step S303: Compare the target purification execution plan corresponding to the current purification function with the purification execution plan currently running in the current purification function.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, the target purification execution scheme corresponding to the current purification function can be compared with the purification execution scheme currently running in the current purification function. For example, based on the current noise level, the target wind speed level is determined to be level 2, and then compared with the current wind speed level to record which target purification execution schemes differ from the current purification execution scheme.

[0043] Step S304: If the target purification execution scheme corresponding to the current purification function is inconsistent with the purification execution scheme currently running in the current purification function, then control each purification execution device in the purification execution device set integrated by the purification function module corresponding to the current purification function to execute the target purification execution scheme.

[0044] If, in this embodiment of the invention, it is determined that there is a difference between the target purification execution scheme corresponding to the current purification function and the purification execution scheme currently in operation, it indicates that the current purification execution scheme needs to be adjusted. In this way, each purification execution device in the purification device set integrated by the purification function module corresponding to the current purification function can be controlled to execute the determined target purification execution scheme, so as to adjust the purification operation status of the air purifier in a timely manner according to the current environment and ensure air quality.

[0045] This invention can provide users with feedback on the current environmental status and purification execution plan through the user interface of a smart device, such as "sterilization function has been turned on" or "fan speed has been adjusted". Users can remotely monitor and adjust the settings of the air purifier through the smart device, and view environmental data and the operating status of the air purifier in real time. The user interface of the smart device can be the software (application, APP) interface of other smart devices such as mobile phones and tablets.

[0046] The air purifier control method provided by this invention designs an air purifier equipped with multiple purification function modules, and each purification function module integrates a set of purification execution devices related to its corresponding purification function, thereby achieving comprehensive air quality purification. By acquiring current environmental data, the method matches the current environmental data with a preset purification function execution rule library to determine the target purification execution scheme corresponding to each purification function. When it is determined that the target purification execution scheme corresponding to the current purification function is inconsistent with the purification execution scheme currently being run by the current purification function, the method controls each purification execution device in the set of purification execution devices integrated in the purification function module corresponding to the current purification function to execute the target purification execution scheme. This enables automatic switching of the working status parameters of the purification execution devices according to environmental changes, which can effectively ensure air quality, optimize environmental regulation, and improve people's quality of life.

[0047] This embodiment provides an air purifier control method, which can be used in the controller of an air purifier. Figure 4 This is a flowchart of an air purifier control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0048] Step S401: Obtain current environmental data. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 Step S301 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described again here.

[0049] Step S402: Match the current environmental data with the preset purification function execution rule library to determine the target purification execution plan corresponding to each purification function.

[0050] The rule base contains purification execution plans for different environmental data ranges corresponding to each purification function.

[0051] Specifically, step S402 includes:

[0052] Step S4021: Extract environmental feature parameters from the current environmental data.

[0053] Step S4022: Based on the preset purification level matching rules or preset level evaluation model and environmental characteristic parameters, determine the purification level corresponding to each purification function.

[0054] Step S4023: Based on the purification level corresponding to each purification function, query the purification function execution rule base to determine the target execution plan corresponding to each purification function.

[0055] This invention extracts environmental characteristic parameters from current environmental data, such as air quality characteristics (PM2.5 concentration, formaldehyde concentration, odor type), comfort characteristics (temperature, humidity, light intensity, noise level), and time characteristics (current time, such as morning, daytime, or evening). Based on this environmental data, it can determine the purification function to be performed and match it according to preset purification level matching rules or preset level evaluation models. The preset level evaluation module is an AI model, such as a machine learning or deep learning model. Figure 1 As shown, the purification level and the environmental characteristic parameters corresponding to the current purification function are determined based on the current environmental characteristic parameters. The purification level corresponding to the current purification function (such as light, medium and complex disinfection and purification tasks) is determined. Then, based on the purification level corresponding to each purification function, the purification function execution rule base can be queried to determine the target execution plan corresponding to each purification function in order to achieve the best purification effect and energy consumption balance.

[0056] This invention designs different environmental characteristic parameters to correspond to different purification levels and target execution schemes, which can be adjusted in a timely manner according to dynamic changes in the environment, thereby improving the adaptability of the purification function to complex and ever-changing environments.

[0057] Specifically, the current environmental data is matched with a pre-defined purification function execution rule library to determine the target purification execution plan for each purification function. This includes: extracting environmental feature parameters from the current environmental data; when multiple pollutant features are detected in the environmental feature parameters, matching each pollutant feature with the pre-defined purification function execution rule library to determine the target execution plan for each purification function corresponding to each pollutant feature; and, based on the purification time requirements and the energy consumption requirements of the air purifier, comprehensively scheduling and processing the target execution plans for each purification function corresponding to multiple pollutant features to obtain the target purification execution plan for each purification function for multiple pollutant features.

[0058] like Figure 5As shown, this embodiment of the invention extracts environmental characteristic parameters from the current environmental data. If the environment contains only one type of pollutant, a single disinfection method can be used. When multiple pollutant characteristics are detected in the environmental characteristic parameters (such as detecting multiple types and concentrations of pathogens or odors), it is necessary to decompose them into disinfection methods targeting different pathogens in order to achieve the best disinfection effect. That is, each pollutant characteristic (concentration and type) is first matched with a preset purification function execution rule library to determine the target execution plan corresponding to each purification function for each pollutant characteristic. Then, based on the purification time requirement, the energy consumption requirement of the air purifier, and the quantity and type of pollutants, the target execution plans corresponding to each purification function for each type of pollutant characteristic are comprehensively scheduled and processed. For example, based on the theoretical time consumption and overall time requirement of each plan, the running time of each purification function is adjusted. Within the total energy consumption limit, the energy consumption of each plan is allocated. When the number of pollutants is large, pollutants with high hazard and high treatment difficulty can be treated first. The target purification execution plan for each purification function for multiple pollutant characteristics is obtained. This is just an example.

[0059] This invention can formulate purification strategies for each pollutant and take into account the overall purification effect of multiple pollutants through comprehensive scheduling, ensuring that all pollutants can achieve the expected purification goals. At the same time, the optimization of energy consumption reduces the user's operating costs and meets the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0060] Furthermore, the air purifier establishes a communication connection with the first set of purification devices, which consists of other purification devices in the scene where the air purifier is located, excluding the air purifier itself. The preset purification function execution rule library also includes purification execution schemes for other purification devices corresponding to different environmental data ranges for each purification function. The air purifier control method further includes: matching the current environmental data with the preset purification function execution rule library to determine the purification execution scheme corresponding to the target purification device in the first set of purification devices; sending the purification execution scheme corresponding to the target purification device to the target purification device; and controlling the target purification device to execute the corresponding purification execution scheme.

[0061] The air purifier designed in this embodiment of the invention supports communication protocols such as WIFI and Bluetooth, enabling connection with other purification devices in a smart home platform. These other purification devices are those in the environment besides the air purifier itself (such as windows, humidifiers, and air conditioners). The preset purification function execution rule library also includes purification execution schemes for other purification devices corresponding to different environmental data ranges for each purification function. For example, when poor air quality is detected, the humidifier is automatically turned on or the window is closed; when humidity is high, the sterilization function is activated, or the dehumidification function of the air conditioner is started. This is just an example. The system can match the current environmental data with the preset purification function execution rule library to determine the purification execution scheme corresponding to the target purification device in the first set of purification devices. The system can then send the purification execution scheme corresponding to the target purification device to the target purification device, controlling the target purification device to execute the corresponding purification execution scheme.

[0062] This invention establishes a connection with a smart home platform, links with other smart home devices, controls other smart home devices to simultaneously execute purification plans, improves the overall comfort and safety of the home environment, and controls and adjusts the settings of the purifier.

[0063] Step S403: Compare the target purification execution plan corresponding to the current purification function with the purification execution plan currently running for the current purification function. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 Step S303 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described again here.

[0064] Step S404: If the target purification execution plan corresponding to the current purification function is inconsistent with the purification execution plan currently running in the current purification function, then control each purification execution device in the purification execution device set integrated by the purification function module corresponding to the current purification function to execute the target purification execution plan. For details, please refer to... Figure 3 Step S304 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described again here.

[0065] Furthermore, the system monitors the energy consumption of the purification function module in executing the target purification plan; acquires environmental data, user comfort feedback, and air purifier operation information after the target purification plan is completed; compares the current environmental data with the environmental data after the target purification plan is completed to determine the purification effect; evaluates the purification effect level of the target purification plan based on the purification effect, energy consumption, user comfort feedback, and air purifier operation information; and optimizes the preset purification function execution rule base when the purification effect level does not meet the preset purification effect level threshold.

[0066] like Figure 5As shown, embodiments of the present invention can store the data after the scheme is executed in a local or cloud database for subsequent analysis and optimization. The data includes timestamps, data from various sensors, the decision results of the target execution scheme, and the operating status of the air purifier, etc. The stored historical data can be analyzed periodically to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of the scheme decision. Based on the evaluation results, the purification function execution rule base can be updated or optimized, such as updating or optimizing the AI ​​algorithm, adjusting model parameters or adding new features, or adjusting the thresholds of various environmental parameters, such as adjusting the warning threshold for PM2.5 concentration.

[0067] Specifically, embodiments of the present invention can monitor the energy consumption of the purification function module in executing the target purification execution plan, and can also obtain environmental data (including environmental characteristic parameters such as the concentration of each pollutant, temperature and humidity, etc.), user comfort feedback information (such as the user's evaluation of the comfort of the purified environment), and the operating status of the air purifier (such as whether the equipment is malfunctioning or in an abnormal state) after the target purification execution plan is completed. Then, the environmental data before the execution plan is completed can be compared item by item with the environmental data after the execution plan is completed (the PM2.5 concentration before execution is 65 μg / m³, and after execution it is 18 μg / m³, and the concentration reduction value is calculated to be 47 μg / m³) to determine the purification effect (for example, if the concentration reduction value reaches a preset threshold, the effect is determined to be excellent). Finally, based on the purification effect, energy consumption, user comfort feedback information, and air purifier operating information, the purification effect level of the target purification execution plan is evaluated. For example, the method of evaluating the purification effect level may include the weight allocation of evaluation indicators, quantitative scoring of indicators, and determination of the purification effect level, which is only an example.

[0068] In this embodiment of the invention, when the purification effect level is determined to be excellent, the purification task can be determined to be completed, and the target purification execution plan can be uploaded to the example storage device. If the purification effect level is medium or poor, the preset purification function execution rule library can be optimized. For example, the purification level parameters of the corresponding pollutants in the rule library can be adjusted, energy consumption constraints can be added to the rule library, low-power combinations can be selected in a limited way when multiple functional modules run in concert, time-segmented operation rules can be added to the rule library, or the feature parameters of the AI ​​model can be optimized. These are just examples. The optimized purification function execution rule library is uploaded to the controller for record-keeping, providing a reference for subsequent similar tasks and ensuring a good user experience for each purification task.

[0069] This invention, through a series of intelligent and integrated processes, not only improves air quality but also ensures high-quality control of air purifiers, providing a feasible solution for purifying pollutants.

[0070] In one implementation, the operating status of the air purifier is monitored; when an abnormal operating status is detected, a prompt message indicating the abnormality is sent to the user, and / or, the step of matching the current environmental data with a preset purification function execution rule base to determine the target purification execution scheme corresponding to each purification function is re-executed.

[0071] This invention can monitor the operating status of an air purifier in real time. Once an abnormal operating status is detected, the controller will issue an early warning and send a prompt message indicating the abnormality to the user. The controller will immediately re-evaluate and reassign tasks based on the current task priority and the operating status of the air purifier. According to the preset purification function execution rule library, it will determine whether the execution scheme corresponding to each purification function needs to be adjusted to obtain the optimal reassignment of tasks. This enables real-time adjustment of the operating mode according to air quality to ensure a clean living environment.

[0072] This embodiment also provides an air purifier, such as Figure 6 As shown, the air purifier includes a controller 61 and multiple purification function modules, including purification function module 1...purification function module n. Each purification function module integrates a set of purification execution devices related to its corresponding purification function. The controller includes a memory and a processor. The memory and the processor are interconnected. The memory stores computer instructions. The processor executes the computer instructions to perform the above-described air purifier control method. For detailed description, please refer to the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0073] In one embodiment, the air purifier further includes an energy management module 62 and a fault diagnosis module 63. The energy management module 62 is used to monitor the energy consumption of the purification function module when executing the target purification execution plan; the fault diagnosis module 63 is used to monitor the operating status of the air purifier.
