Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, specifically to a method, device, air outlet equipment, computer equipment, and medium for controlling air humidity. Background Technology

[0002] In current home and office environment air conditioning devices, humidifiers are crucial tools for increasing air humidity, and their performance directly impacts usage effectiveness and user experience. However, traditional humidifiers face numerous technical bottlenecks in practical applications. Most humidifiers on the market currently employ ultrasonic atomization technology, using high-frequency vibrations to break water molecules into fine mist and release it into the air. However, due to the lack of active airflow devices such as fans in their structural design, the water mist can only spread naturally, resulting in a limited humidification range, typically only effectively covering an area with a radius of about 3 meters. Simultaneously, the slow diffusion speed of water vapor leads to uneven humidity distribution within the space, resulting in poor humidification uniformity. Furthermore, traditional humidifiers generally lack intelligent sensing and automatic control functions, unable to adjust the humidification intensity in real time according to changes in ambient humidity, making it difficult to achieve efficient and precise humidity regulation in large spaces. These problems limit their application in larger spaces or scenarios with high humidity control requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides an air humidity control method, device, air outlet equipment, computer equipment and medium to solve the problems of uneven humidity distribution and poor humidification uniformity when using current humidification modules.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for controlling air humidity, comprising the following steps: after the humidification function of the humidification module is turned on, acquiring the current ambient humidity values ​​of multiple humidification areas to obtain an original humidity set; wherein multiple humidity sensors are evenly distributed within the humidification range of the humidification module, and the ambient humidity values ​​are obtained by detecting the humidity sensors; selecting the minimum value from the original humidity set to obtain the minimum humidity value; determining the air supply mode based on the minimum humidity value, and controlling the air supply device to supply air according to the air supply mode.

[0005] The humidification module control method of this invention collects environmental humidity data of at least one humidification area in real time, constructs humidity distribution information, and identifies the area with the lowest humidity as the key humidification target. It then controls the air supply device to deliver air to this area in a directional manner, effectively improving the water mist delivery efficiency and humidification response speed. Compared to traditional humidifiers that rely on natural diffusion, this invention not only significantly expands the humidification coverage area but also improves the problem of uneven humidification. Simultaneously, this method integrates intelligent control strategies, enabling the humidification module to dynamically adjust the air supply direction and intensity according to changes in environmental humidity, achieving efficient and precise humidity regulation over a large area, thus improving humidification efficiency, equipment intelligence, and the overall user experience.

[0006] In one optional implementation, determining the air supply mode based on the minimum humidity value and controlling the air supply device to supply air according to the air supply mode includes: when the minimum humidity value is greater than a preset first threshold, taking the maximum air supply range of the air supply device as the air supply area; turning off the humidification function of the humidification module, and controlling the air supply device to oscillate or adjust the guide vanes within the air supply area to supply air to the air supply area.

[0007] This implementation introduces a humidity threshold judgment mechanism to achieve intelligent switching control of the humidification module under different environmental humidity conditions. When the lowest humidity value in the environment is detected to be higher than the set first threshold, it indicates that the overall humidity of the space has reached or is close to the ideal state. Continuing to humidify may lead to excessively high humidity in some areas or overall, resulting in energy waste and potentially affecting human comfort or the safe operation of the equipment. At this time, the system automatically shuts off the humidification function and controls the air supply device to deliver air within its maximum angle range. The airflow from the fan promotes uniform air circulation within the space, effectively avoiding discomfort caused by excessively high humidity in some areas. It also helps to balance the humidity distribution within the space, improving overall comfort and air quality. Furthermore, the dynamic oscillation control of the air supply device achieves a wider airflow coverage, further enhancing the equipment's environmental adaptability and intelligence.

[0008] In one optional implementation, determining the air supply mode based on the minimum humidity value and controlling the air supply device to supply air according to the air supply mode includes: when the minimum humidity value is less than or equal to a preset first threshold and the minimum humidity value is greater than or equal to a preset second threshold, and the air supply device has an up-and-down oscillation function, the non-horizontal area of ​​the humidification module is used as the air supply area, wherein the second threshold is less than the first threshold; controlling the air supply device to oscillate horizontally or adjust the guide vanes within the air supply area to supply air to the air supply area; or, when the minimum humidity value is less than or equal to the preset first threshold and greater than or equal to the preset second threshold but the air supply device does not have an up-and-down oscillation function, turning off the humidification function of the humidification module or reducing the air supply level of the air supply device.

[0009] In this implementation, by setting a first threshold and a second threshold to determine the range of ambient humidity, refined management of humidification and air supply control is achieved. When the minimum humidity value detected in the environment is between the second threshold and the first threshold (i.e., a relatively suitable humidity range), the system intelligently determines that high-intensity humidification does not need to be started or maintained, and instead adopts an air supply strategy based on air circulation. For air supply devices with vertical oscillation function, the system adjusts its air guide component to a non-horizontal area and controls it to oscillate horizontally or adjust the guide vanes within that area to achieve gentle air supply to a specific space. This method avoids energy waste and the risk of excessive humidity caused by over-humidification, while improving indoor humidity uniformity and air freshness through directional airflow, and reducing discomfort caused by direct airflow, significantly improving the user's comfort experience. For devices without vertical oscillation function, energy-saving operation and prevention of localized over-humidification are achieved by turning off the humidification function or reducing the air supply level, ensuring that the system can operate safely, efficiently, and comfortably under different hardware configurations. In summary, this implementation method achieves intelligent coordination between humidification control and air supply strategy, taking into account comfort, energy efficiency, and equipment adaptability.

[0010] In one optional implementation, determining the air supply mode based on the minimum humidity value and controlling the air supply device to supply air according to the air supply mode includes: when the minimum humidity value is less than a second threshold, filtering out environmental humidity values ​​less than the second threshold from the original humidity set to obtain a target humidity set, and determining the number of target humidity values ​​in the target humidity set; when there are multiple target humidity values ​​in the target humidity set, selecting the leftmost humidity sensor and the rightmost humidity sensor from the multiple humidity sensors corresponding to the target humidity set; obtaining the leftmost angle of the first oscillation angle range of the air supply device corresponding to the leftmost humidity sensor and the rightmost angle of the second oscillation angle range of the air supply device corresponding to the rightmost humidity sensor, and determining the air supply area based on the leftmost angle and the rightmost angle; controlling the air supply device to oscillate horizontally or adjust the guide vanes within the air supply area to supply air to the air supply area.

[0011] In this implementation, when the minimum humidity value is detected to be lower than the second threshold, it indicates that there is a region in the current environment with significantly insufficient humidity. At this time, the system not only activates the humidification function but also further filters the data collected by the humidity sensor to locate all target humidity areas below the second threshold, thereby accurately identifying the spatial range that needs focused humidification. Based on this, the system identifies the humidity sensors at the leftmost and rightmost ends of these low-humidity areas and obtains their corresponding oscillation angle ranges, thereby determining the left and right boundaries that the air supply device should cover and controlling the air supply device to deliver air only within that area. This method achieves targeted humidification and localized enhancement of low-humidity areas, avoiding sending water mist to areas already within the comfortable humidity range, thus improving humidification efficiency and reducing energy waste. In addition, combined with the up-and-down oscillation function, the three-dimensional coverage of the air supply is further enhanced, allowing the water mist to be distributed more evenly in the target area, accelerating the humidity adjustment speed and improving humidification response efficiency.

[0012] In one optional implementation, determining the air supply mode based on the minimum humidity value and controlling the air supply device to supply air according to the air supply mode includes: when the minimum humidity value is less than a second threshold, filtering out environmental humidity values ​​less than the second threshold from the original humidity set to obtain a target humidity set, and determining the number of target humidity values ​​in the target humidity set; when there are multiple target humidity values ​​in the target humidity set, selecting the leftmost humidity sensor and the rightmost humidity sensor from the target humidity set; using the first oscillation angle range of the air supply device corresponding to the leftmost humidity sensor and the second oscillation angle range of the air supply device corresponding to the rightmost humidity sensor as the air supply area; when the first oscillation angle range and the second oscillation angle range are continuous, controlling the air supply device to oscillate horizontally within the first and second oscillation angle ranges to supply air to the air supply area; when the first oscillation angle range and the second oscillation angle range are not continuous and the air supply device has an up-and-down oscillation function, controlling the air supply device to oscillate horizontally within the first oscillation angle range or adjusting the guide vanes to supply air to the first oscillation angle range. The system delivers air within a certain oscillation angle range. After delivering air to the first oscillation angle range, it controls the air delivery device to blow air upwards and continue to oscillate horizontally or adjust the guide vanes to move towards the second oscillation angle range. When the air delivery device moves to the second oscillation angle range, it controls the air delivery device to oscillate horizontally or adjust the guide vanes within the second oscillation angle range to deliver air to the second oscillation angle range. Alternatively, when the first and second oscillation angle ranges are not continuous and the air delivery device does not have an up-and-down oscillation function, it controls the air delivery device to oscillate horizontally within the first oscillation angle range or adjusts the guide vanes to deliver air to the first oscillation angle range. After delivering air to the first oscillation angle range, it turns off the humidification function of the humidification module and controls the air delivery area of ​​the air delivery device to move towards the second oscillation angle range, or it reduces the air delivery level of the air delivery device and controls the air delivery area of ​​the air delivery device to move towards the second oscillation angle range. When the air delivery device moves to the second oscillation angle range, it controls the air delivery device to oscillate horizontally or adjust the guide vanes within the second oscillation angle range to deliver air to the second oscillation angle range.

[0013] This implementation introduces a mechanism for identifying the spatial distribution of multiple low-humidity areas and planning dynamic airflow paths, significantly improving the intelligent control capabilities and spatial adaptability of the humidification module. By filtering target humidity values ​​below a second threshold from the original humidity set and further identifying the location distribution of multiple low-humidity areas, the system can accurately delineate multiple independent areas requiring airflow based on the corresponding humidity sensor locations. When multiple low-humidity areas are spatially adjacent and their corresponding oscillation angle ranges are continuous, the system controls the airflow device to continuously oscillate and deliver air throughout the entire area, achieving efficient coverage of the entire low-humidity area and improving humidification efficiency and uniformity. When these areas are spatially separated and their corresponding oscillation angle ranges are discontinuous, the system adopts a segmented airflow strategy. It first delivers directional airflow to the first area, and then guides the airflow device to the second area by adjusting the airflow direction, turning off the humidification function of the humidification module, or reducing the airflow level of the airflow device to continue localized humidification. This approach not only achieves precise coverage of multiple low-humidity areas and avoids ineffective humidification of already compliant areas, but also improves the equipment's response speed and energy efficiency ratio. In addition, the intelligent planning strategy for the air supply path enhances the adaptability of the humidification module in complex spatial environments, making it particularly suitable for use scenarios with multiple rooms, many partitions, or uneven humidity distribution, further improving humidification efficiency, energy saving effect, and user comfort.

[0014] In one optional embodiment, the air humidity control method further includes the following steps: when the number of target humidity values ​​in the target humidity set is one, the oscillation angle range of the humidity sensor corresponding to the target humidity value is obtained, and the third oscillation angle range of the humidity sensor corresponding to the target humidity value is taken as the air supply area; the air supply device is controlled to oscillate horizontally or adjust the guide vanes in the air supply area to supply air to the air supply area.

[0015] In other words, when the target humidity set contains only one target humidity value, it indicates that only a localized area in the current environment has excessively low humidity. The system then identifies the humidity sensor corresponding to this low-humidity area and extracts its corresponding third oscillation angle range as the air delivery area for the air supply device, achieving precise positioning and directional air delivery to the point of humidification demand. By delivering air only within this specific angle range, not only can the humidifying mist be concentrated and delivered to the area most in need of humidification, improving humidification efficiency and response speed, but it also avoids unnecessary humidification interference to other areas where humidity has already reached the target level, thereby improving the equipment's energy efficiency and environmental adaptability.

[0016] Secondly, the present invention also provides an air humidity control device, the device comprising an acquisition module, a minimum humidity value determination module, and an air supply control module; the acquisition module is used to acquire the current ambient humidity values ​​of multiple humidification areas after the humidification function of the humidification module is turned on, to obtain an original humidity set, wherein multiple humidity sensors are evenly distributed within the humidification range of the humidification module, and the ambient humidity values ​​are obtained by detecting the humidity sensors; the minimum humidity value determination module is used to select the minimum value from the original humidity set to obtain the minimum humidity value; the air supply control module is used to determine the air supply mode according to the minimum humidity value, and control the air supply device to supply air according to the air supply mode.

[0017] Thirdly, the present invention also provides a computer device, including a memory and a processor, which are communicatively connected to each other. The memory stores computer instructions, and the processor executes the computer instructions to perform the air humidity control method of the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment described above.

[0018] Fourthly, the present invention also provides an air outlet device, including the computer device of the third aspect.

[0019] Fifthly, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a computer to execute the air humidity control method of the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment thereof. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of an air humidity 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.

[0029] This embodiment provides a method for controlling air humidity, which can be used in a humidification module. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the humidification module control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0030] Step S101: After the humidification function of the humidification module is turned on, obtain the current ambient humidity value of another humidification area to obtain the original humidity set.

[0031] Specifically, multiple humidity sensors can be evenly distributed within a 50-meter radius of the humidification module, with each sensor corresponding to a specific oscillation angle range Q. For example, if the number of humidity sensors is N, where N≥1, then the angle range corresponding to a single sensor is 360° / N≤Q≤360°, thus allowing the sum of the oscillation angle ranges of multiple humidity sensors to cover 360°.

[0032] Step S102: Select the minimum value from the original humidity set to obtain the minimum humidity value.

[0033] Step S103: Determine the air supply method based on the minimum humidity value, and control the air supply device to supply air according to the air supply method.

[0034] Specifically, the air supply device can be a evaporator, air purifier, circulating fan, humidifier, etc.; the humidification module can be installed on the air supply device or separately, and the humidification module moves together with the air supply device. The working principle of the evaporator is that the water pump draws water from the water tank to the evaporator. The water is evenly distributed over a large area on the evaporator (wet curtain). The water on the evaporator evaporates and absorbs heat. The heat of the air blowing over the evaporator is absorbed, making the air blown out by the evaporator cooler and containing water vapor.

[0035] The humidification module control method provided in this embodiment collects environmental humidity data from at least one humidification area in real time, constructs humidity distribution information, and identifies the area with the lowest humidity as the key humidification target. It then controls the air supply device to deliver air to this area in a directional manner, effectively improving the water mist delivery efficiency and humidification response speed. Compared to traditional humidifiers that rely on natural diffusion, this method not only significantly expands the humidification coverage area but also improves the problem of uneven humidification. Simultaneously, this method integrates intelligent control strategies, enabling the humidification module to dynamically adjust the air supply direction and intensity according to changes in environmental humidity, achieving efficient and precise humidity regulation over a large area, improving humidification efficiency, equipment intelligence, and the overall user experience.

[0036] This embodiment provides a method for controlling air humidity, which can be used in a humidification module. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of another humidification module control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0037] Step S201: After the humidification function of the humidification module is turned on, obtain the current ambient humidity value of another humidification area to obtain the original humidity set.

[0038] Step S202: Select the minimum value from the original humidity set to obtain the minimum humidity value.

[0039] Step S203: Determine the air supply method based on the minimum humidity value, and control the air supply device to supply air according to the air supply method.

[0040] In some alternative implementations, determining the air supply method based on the minimum humidity value and controlling the air supply device to supply air according to the air supply method includes the following steps:

[0041] Step S2031: Determine whether the minimum humidity value is greater than the preset first threshold. If the minimum humidity value is greater than the preset first threshold, proceed to step S2032; otherwise, proceed to step S2034.

[0042] Step S2032: The maximum air supply range of the air supply device is taken as the air supply area.

[0043] For example, when the air supply device only has a horizontal oscillation function, the maximum left and right oscillation range is taken as the maximum air supply range; when the air supply device has both horizontal and vertical oscillation functions, the area formed by the maximum left and right oscillation range and the maximum vertical oscillation range is taken as the maximum air supply range.

[0044] Step S2033: Turn off the humidification function of the humidification module and control the air supply device to oscillate or adjust the guide vanes in the air supply area to supply air to the air supply area.

[0045] Step S2034: Determine whether the minimum humidity value is less than the preset second threshold. If the minimum humidity value is less than the second threshold, proceed to step S2035; otherwise, proceed to step S2041.

[0046] Step S2035: Filter out environmental humidity values ​​less than the second threshold from the original humidity set to obtain the target humidity set, and determine the number of target humidity values ​​in the target humidity set. When there are multiple target humidity values ​​in the target humidity set, proceed to step S2036; when there is only one target humidity value in the target humidity set, proceed to step S2039.

[0047] Step S2036: When there are multiple target humidity values ​​in the target humidity set, select the leftmost humidity sensor and the rightmost humidity sensor from the multiple humidity sensors corresponding to the target humidity set.

[0048] Step S2037: Obtain the leftmost angle of the first oscillation angle range of the air supply device corresponding to the leftmost humidity sensor and the rightmost angle of the second oscillation angle range of the air supply device corresponding to the rightmost humidity sensor, and use the first oscillation angle range and the second oscillation angle range as the air supply area.

[0049] Step S2038: Control the air supply device to oscillate horizontally or adjust the guide vanes in the air supply area to supply air to the air supply area.

[0050] For example, when the first oscillation angle range is continuous with the second oscillation angle range, the air supply device is controlled to oscillate horizontally within the first oscillation angle range and the second oscillation angle range to supply air to the air supply area.

[0051] In one optional implementation, when the first oscillation angle range and the second oscillation angle range are discontinuous and the air supply device has an up-and-down oscillation function, the air supply device is controlled to oscillate horizontally within the first oscillation angle range or the guide vanes are adjusted to supply air to the first oscillation angle range. After the air supply to the first oscillation angle range ends, the air supply device is controlled to blow air upwards and continue to oscillate horizontally or the guide vanes are adjusted to move towards the second oscillation angle range. When the air supply device moves to the second oscillation angle range, the air supply device is controlled to oscillate horizontally or the guide vanes are adjusted within the second oscillation angle range to supply air to the second oscillation angle range.

[0052] In another optional implementation, when the first oscillation angle range and the second oscillation angle range are not continuous and the air supply device does not have an up-and-down oscillation function, the air supply device is controlled to oscillate horizontally within the first oscillation angle range or the guide vanes are adjusted to supply air to the first oscillation angle range. After the air supply to the first oscillation angle range is completed, the humidification function of the humidification module is turned off and the air supply area of ​​the air supply device is controlled to move towards the second oscillation angle range, or the air supply level of the air supply device is reduced and the air supply area of ​​the air supply device is controlled to move towards the second oscillation angle range. When the air supply device moves to the second oscillation angle range, the air supply device is controlled to oscillate horizontally within the second oscillation angle range or the guide vanes are adjusted to supply air to the second oscillation angle range.

[0053] Step S2039: When there is only one target humidity value in the target humidity set, obtain the oscillation angle range of the humidity sensor corresponding to the target humidity value, and take the third oscillation angle range of the humidity sensor corresponding to the target humidity value as the air supply area.

[0054] Step S2040: Control the air supply device to oscillate horizontally or adjust the guide vanes within the air supply area to supply air to the air supply area.

[0055] Step S2041: When the minimum humidity value is less than or equal to a preset first threshold and greater than or equal to a preset second threshold, and the air supply device has an up-and-down oscillation function, the non-horizontal area of ​​the humidification module is taken as the air supply area, wherein the second threshold is less than the first threshold.

[0056] Specifically, the air supply area is defined as the region where the air supply device can horizontally oscillate at any angle within the non-horizontal vertical sweep angle and within its maximum horizontal sweep range. For example, the area above the air supply device can be considered the air supply area, or the area below the air supply device can be considered the air supply area, or both the area above and the area below the air supply device can be considered the air supply area. When the area above and the area below the air supply device are used as the air supply area, air supply stops in the horizontal area when the device transitions between the upper and lower areas after passing through a horizontal region.

[0057] Step S2042: Control the air supply device to oscillate horizontally or adjust the guide vanes within the air supply area to supply air to the air supply area.

[0058] In another optional implementation, when the minimum humidity value is less than or equal to a preset first threshold and greater than or equal to a preset second threshold but the air supply device does not have an up-and-down oscillation function, the humidification function of the humidification module is turned off or the air supply speed of the air supply device is reduced.

[0059] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an example of a humidification module control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method for controlling air humidity includes the following steps:

[0060] Step A: After turning on the automatic humidification function, turn on the fan. This activates the automatic humidification function and the basic fan supply; the fan supply function remains on while the automatic humidification function is active.

[0061] Step B: Begin collecting humidity detection data. This step involves collecting the ambient humidity values ​​detected by sensors within the environment.

[0062] Step C: When the minimum humidity value RHmin detected by all sensors is greater than X1, turn off the humidification function and turn on the vertical and horizontal oscillation to their maximum range. This works by enhancing air circulation through wide-range, three-dimensional airflow, reducing the stuffy feeling of excessively humid air, and lowering air humidity through rapid air circulation.

[0063] Step D: When X2≤RHmin≤X1, turn off the humidification function and adjust the air vent of the unit to face upwards. This maintains a comfortable humidity level and provides limited air circulation.

[0064] Step E: When RHmin < X2, activate the up-and-down oscillation. When there are multiple target humidity values ​​in the target humidity set, select the leftmost and rightmost humidity sensors from the multiple humidity sensors corresponding to the target humidity set. Obtain the leftmost angle of the first oscillation angle range of the leftmost humidity sensor and the rightmost angle of the second oscillation angle range of the rightmost humidity sensor. Determine the air supply area based on the leftmost and rightmost angles. Control the air supply device to oscillate horizontally or adjust the guide vanes within the air supply area to supply air to the air supply area. When there is only one target humidity value in the target humidity set, obtain the oscillation angle range of the humidity sensor corresponding to the target humidity value, and use the third oscillation angle range of the humidity sensor corresponding to the target humidity value as the air supply area. Control the air supply device to oscillate horizontally or adjust the guide vanes within the air supply area where the air supply device has the up-and-down oscillation function to supply air to the air supply area.

[0065] Step E aims to focus on humidifying areas with low humidity without affecting areas with comfortable humidity levels.

[0066] The humidification module control method provided in this embodiment can bring about the beneficial effect of balancing the ambient humidity and maintaining it in a comfortable range by automatically adjusting the humidification air supply angle according to the humidity of different areas.

[0067] This embodiment provides a method for controlling air humidity, which can be used in a humidification module. Figure 4 This is a flowchart of another humidification module control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0068] Step S401: After the humidification function of the humidification module is turned on, obtain the current ambient humidity value of another humidification area to obtain the original humidity set.

[0069] Step S402: Select the minimum value from the original humidity set to obtain the minimum humidity value.

[0070] Step S403: Determine the air supply area based on the minimum humidity value and control the air supply device to supply air to the air supply area. Determine the air supply method based on the minimum humidity value and control the air supply device to supply air according to the air supply method.

[0071] In some optional implementations, determining the air supply area based on the minimum humidity value and controlling the air supply device to supply air to the air supply area, and determining the air supply method based on the minimum humidity value and controlling the air supply device to supply air according to the air supply method, includes the following steps:

[0072] Step S4031: Determine the range to which the minimum humidity value belongs. When the minimum humidity value is greater than the preset first threshold, proceed to step S4032; when the minimum humidity value is less than or equal to the preset first threshold and greater than or equal to the preset second threshold, proceed to step S4034; when the minimum humidity value is less than the second threshold, proceed to step S4036.

[0073] Step S4032: When the minimum humidity value is greater than the preset first threshold, the maximum air supply range of the air supply device is taken as the air supply area.

[0074] Step S4033: Turn off the humidification function of the humidification module and control the air supply device to oscillate or adjust the guide vanes in the air supply area to supply air to the air supply area.

[0075] Step S4034: When the minimum humidity value is less than or equal to a preset first threshold and greater than or equal to a preset second threshold, and the air supply device has an up-and-down oscillation function, the non-horizontal area of ​​the humidification module is taken as the air supply area, wherein the second threshold is less than the first threshold.

[0076] Step S4035: Control the air supply device to oscillate or adjust the guide vanes within the air supply area to supply air to the air supply area.

[0077] Step S4036: When the minimum humidity value is less than the second threshold, filter out the environmental humidity values ​​less than the second threshold from the original humidity set to obtain the target humidity set, and determine the number of target humidity values ​​in the target humidity set.
