Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of temperature control technology, and specifically to an intelligent control method and system for a multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, herbal fumigation devices typically set a final heating temperature directly, and then perform fumigation based on that final heating temperature. During use, users often adjust the heating temperature according to their own feelings, and the herbal fumigation device will raise or lower the temperature based on the user's adjustment.

[0003] However, in the above methods, the fumigation process is gradual, and the temperature that users can tolerate varies at different times. Therefore, the sudden temperature changes caused by adjusting the temperature based on the user's operation may be unbearable for the user at the current stage, easily causing discomfort and reducing the user's experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problem that sudden temperature changes caused by user adjustments during fumigation, such as raising or lowering the temperature, may be unbearable for the user and easily cause discomfort, the present invention aims to provide an intelligent control method and system for a multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine. The specific technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0005] This application provides an intelligent control method for a multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine, including:

[0006] Based on water level data, temperature data, and adjustment data, the user's tolerance is determined. The adjustment data refers to the user's temperature adjustment during the fumigation process. The user's tolerance is used to characterize the user's ability to withstand hot steam therapy during the remaining fumigation process. The temperature control power is adjusted based on this tolerance. Based on the adjusted temperature control power, the temperature is adjusted to the expected temperature, which is the temperature indicated by the user.

[0007] Optionally, the above-mentioned determination of the user's tolerance based on water level data, temperature data, and adjustment data includes: acquiring the water level data, temperature data, and adjustment data, wherein the adjustment data includes the number of temperature adjustments, the amount of temperature adjustment each time, and the duration of the interval between two adjacent adjustments; determining the current fumigation stage based on the water level data and temperature data; determining the degree of pressure relief based on the adjustment data of the current fumigation stage and the fumigation duration of the current fumigation stage, wherein the degree of pressure relief is used to characterize the extent to which the user's ability to withstand hot steam therapy in the current fumigation stage has reached its limit; and determining the tolerance based on the degree of pressure relief and the current fumigation stage.

[0008] Optionally, determining the tolerance based on the degree of pressure relief and the current fumigation stage includes: when the current fumigation stage is not the first fumigation stage, determining the degree of relief for each historical fumigation stage based on the number and amount of temperature adjustments for each historical fumigation stage, wherein the degree of relief for a historical fumigation stage is used to characterize the degree of relief the user's ability to withstand hot steam therapy by adjusting the temperature during that historical fumigation stage; and determining the tolerance based on the degree of relief for each historical fumigation stage and the degree of pressure relief.

[0009] Optionally, determining the tolerance based on the degree of pressure relief and the current fumigation stage includes: when the current fumigation stage is the first fumigation stage, determining the degree of pressure relief as the tolerance.

[0010] Optionally, determining the degree of pressure relief based on the adjustment data of the current fumigation stage and the fumigation duration of the current fumigation stage includes: determining user discomfort based on the number of adjustments, the amount of temperature adjustment each time, and the adjustment interval, whereby user discomfort characterizes the degree of discomfort the user experiences with the current fumigation temperature; determining the user's tolerance tendency based on the amount of temperature adjustment each time and the user discomfort, whereby the user's tolerance tendency characterizes the degree of temperature the user tends to tolerate; and determining the degree of pressure relief based on the tolerance tendency and the fumigation duration of the current fumigation stage.

[0011] Optionally, determining the user's tolerance tendency based on the temperature adjustment amount each time and the user's discomfort includes: determining a first number and a second number based on the temperature adjustment amount each time, wherein the first number is the number of times the temperature adjustment amount is positive and the second number is the number of times the temperature adjustment amount is negative; when the first number is greater than the second number, determining the tolerance tendency based on a first ratio and the user's discomfort, wherein the first ratio is the ratio of the first number to the second number; when the first number is less than or equal to the second number, determining the tolerance tendency based on a second ratio and the user's discomfort, wherein the second ratio is the ratio of the second number to the first number.

[0012] Optionally, determining the current fumigation stage based on the water level data and the temperature data includes: determining the water vapor consumption rate based on the water level data, which includes the water level at each moment; determining the average temperature based on the temperature data, which includes the temperature at each moment; determining the thermal steam demand based on the water vapor consumption rate and the average temperature, which characterizes the amount of thermal steam generated in the multifunctional herbal fumigator at the current moment; and determining the current fumigation stage based on the thermal steam demand.

[0013] Optionally, determining the current fumigation stage based on the demand for hot steam includes: when the demand for hot steam is less than a first threshold for the first time, determining the time period between the start time of fumigation and the current time as the first fumigation stage; when the demand for hot steam is less than a second threshold for the first time, determining the time period between the end time of the first fumigation stage and the current time as the second fumigation stage; and determining the time period after the end time of the second fumigation stage as the third fumigation stage.

[0014] Optionally, adjusting the temperature control power based on the tolerance includes: determining the adjusted temperature control power as the product of the tolerance and the preset power.

[0015] The present invention also proposes an intelligent control system for a multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and running on the processor.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In this embodiment, based on the water consumption and temperature changes during historical fumigation periods, the remaining fumigation temperature and duration during the original fumigation process can be determined. Furthermore, based on the user's adjustment data during that historical period, the user's tolerance to historical temperatures can be determined. Therefore, based on water level data, temperature data, and adjustment data, the user's ability to withstand hot steam therapy during the remaining fumigation process can be determined. Adjusting the temperature control power based on each user's tolerance allows for personalized adjustment of the temperature change rate. By adjusting the temperature to a level suitable for the user based on their tolerable temperature change rate, the user's fumigation experience can be improved while the temperature changes.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve its intended purpose, the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific implementation, structure, features, and effects of an intelligent control method and system for a multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine proposed according to the present invention. In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "another embodiment" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0024] Herbal fumigation refers to the combination of volatile components of Chinese herbs with warm steam, allowing the active ingredients to act directly on the human body through the skin, respiratory tract, etc. This traditional therapy combines heat therapy and medication to achieve the goals of disease prevention, treatment, and health maintenance. Unlike the decoction of Chinese herbs for consumption, herbal fumigation has certain requirements for the user group. The hot steam containing Chinese herbs is concentrated at the nozzle when released from the fumigator. Therefore, those who use herbal fumigation are typically individuals with localized discomfort, no open wounds on the corresponding skin surface, and no allergies to the herbs (such as some bone and joint patients).

[0025] Existing herbal fumigation devices typically involve setting a final heating temperature before fumigation begins, once the device generates a large amount of hot steam. However, in reality, due to individual differences in constitution, each person's tolerance and reaction to the volatile components of herbs and the hot steam vary. Users may manually adjust the heating temperature throughout the fumigation process, potentially causing sudden temperature changes and discomfort. This leads to repeated temperature adjustments—for example, lowering the temperature when it feels too high, raising it when it feels too low, and then lowering it again when it feels too high again. This results in significant human intervention in temperature changes, increasing the cumbersomeness of using the fumigation device and making the entire process less intelligent.

[0026] This application provides an intelligent control method and system for a multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine. It can adjust the temperature control power based on each user's tolerance, allowing for personalized temperature adjustments. The temperature is adjusted to a user-friendly temperature based on the rate of temperature change that the user can tolerate, thereby reducing the number of adjustments required during the use of the multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine and improving the user experience.

[0027] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details a specific scheme for an intelligent control method and system for a multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine provided by the present invention.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic diagram of the physical structure of a multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine provided by the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine includes an insulated steam pipe 101, a spraying device 102, a steam-generating herbal medicine storage container 103, an automatic liquid dispensing container 104, a water vapor insulation device 105, a water vapor separation device 106, a steam device 107, and a control panel 108.

[0030] Among them, the heat-insulating steam pipe 101 is used for heat insulation protection to avoid unnecessary harm to the user when steam is transmitted in the device; the spraying device 102 is used to spray the steam in the steam-steaming medicine storage container to the user; the steam-steaming medicine storage container 103 is used to store the medicine to be fumigated and to receive water vapor for fumigation of the medicine; the automatic liquid filling container 104 is used to store water and, in response to the water replenishment command, inject water into the water vapor separation device; the water vapor heat insulation device 105 is used for heat insulation protection to prevent the heating plate temperature from dissipating too much heat to the bottom temperature; the water vapor separation device 106 is used to separate water vapor so that the water vapor enters the steam-steaming medicine storage container; the control panel 108 is used to receive user commands; and the steam device 107 is used to generate steam.

[0031] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating an intelligent control method for a multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine, provided in an embodiment of this application, is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes S201-S203.

[0032] S201. Based on water level data, temperature data, and adjustment data, determine the user's tolerance level.

[0033] The adjustment data refers to the user's temperature adjustment during the fumigation process, and the user's tolerance is used to characterize the user's ability to withstand hot steam therapy during the remaining fumigation process.

[0034] Understandably, the greater a user's tolerance, the longer they can endure the fumigation.

[0035] It should be understood that the adjusted data refers to the temperature adjustment made by the multi-functional herbal fumigation device in response to user commands.

[0036] It should be noted that during fumigation, the multi-functional herbal fumigator consumes water by generating steam through heating. When the water level reaches the replenishment threshold (e.g., when the water level is less than 1 cm), the automatic liquid filling container will inject the stored water into the water-vapor separator until the maximum water level threshold is reached (e.g., when the water level reaches 4 cm), at which point the process stops. The water level data mentioned above represents the water level change in the water-vapor separator during the operation of the multi-functional herbal fumigator, and the temperature data represents the temperature change of the heating plate during operation.

[0037] Understandably, based on the water consumption and temperature changes during historical fumigation periods, the remaining fumigation temperature and duration during the original fumigation process can be determined. Furthermore, based on the user's adjustment data during that historical period, the user's tolerance to historical temperatures can be determined. Therefore, based on water level data, temperature data, and adjustment data, the user's ability to withstand hot steam therapy during the remaining fumigation process can be determined.

[0038] S202, Adjust the temperature control power based on the tolerance.

[0039] It is understandable that when the user's tolerance is higher, the temperature control power can be increased, and when the user's tolerance is lower, the temperature control power can be decreased.

[0040] Specifically, the adjusted temperature control power can be determined by multiplying the load capacity by the preset power.

[0041] It should be understood that the preset power is the initial temperature control power pre-set in this multi-functional herbal fumigation device.

[0042] For example, assuming the preset power is 1000W and the capacity is 60%, the adjusted temperature control power is 600W.

[0043] In one alternative technical solution, the product of the withstand capacity and the preset power may not be an integer. In this case, the temperature control power can also be rounded down based on the rounding method.

[0044] For example, assuming the preset power is 666W and the withstand capability is 66%, the product of the withstand capability and the preset power is 439.56W. In this case, the temperature control power can be set to 440W.

[0045] In this embodiment, the multi-functional herbal fumigation device will automatically raise and lower the temperature according to a preset power. This tolerance can be understood as a weight, and the preset power is corrected based on this weight. Other operations are performed according to the initially predetermined program, and so on, so that the intelligent control of the multi-functional herbal fumigation device can be completed in real time.

[0046] S203. Adjust the temperature to the expected temperature based on the adjusted temperature control power.

[0047] The expected temperature is the temperature indicated by the user.

[0048] It should be understood that when the adjusted temperature control power is higher, the temperature can be adjusted to the expected temperature at a faster speed; when the adjusted temperature control power is lower, the temperature can be adjusted to the expected temperature at a slower speed.

[0049] In this embodiment, based on the water consumption and temperature changes during historical fumigation periods, the remaining fumigation temperature and duration during the original fumigation process can be determined. Furthermore, based on the user's adjustment data during that historical period, the user's tolerance to historical temperatures can be determined. Therefore, based on water level data, temperature data, and adjustment data, the user's ability to withstand hot steam therapy during the remaining fumigation process can be determined. Adjusting the temperature control power based on each user's tolerance allows for personalized adjustment of the temperature change rate. By adjusting the temperature to a level suitable for the user based on their tolerable temperature change rate, the user's fumigation experience can be improved while the temperature changes.

[0050] Combination Figure 2 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the above-mentioned determination of the user's tolerance based on water level data, temperature data, and adjustment data includes S301-S304.

[0051] S301, acquire water level data, temperature data, and adjustment data.

[0052] The adjustment data includes the number of temperature adjustments, the amount of temperature adjustment each time, and the duration of the interval between two adjacent adjustments.

[0053] Optionally, after fumigation begins, water level data, temperature data, and adjustment data may be collected at a certain frequency.

[0054] It should be understood that each water level data, temperature data, and adjustment data corresponds to a specific data collection time.

[0055] For example, after placing the Chinese herbal medicines into the sauna herb storage container and adding purified water to the automatic liquid dispensing container, the sauna herb storage container and the automatic liquid dispensing container are assembled onto the main unit of the multi-functional Chinese herbal medicine fumigation device. In response to the user clicking the control panel to initially adjust the final heating temperature... Start preheating, wait until the actual temperature reaches... Then, the water level and temperature data were recorded every second, and the adjustment data was recorded after each temperature adjustment.

[0056] It is understandable that in the actual process of herbal fumigation, users have different needs in the three fumigation stages. Therefore, the number of times and the amount of temperature adjustment by users vary in these three fumigation stages. Since the boundaries between these three fumigation stages are blurred, if you want to automatically adjust the subsequent heating temperature changes based on water level data, temperature data, and adjustment data, you first need to determine the fumigation stage at the current moment, i.e., the current fumigation stage.

[0057] S302. Based on water level and temperature data, determine the current fumigation stage.

[0058] It should be understood that when a user uses a multi-functional herbal fumigation device, there are three main stages: The first fumigation stage: When fumigating with herbal medicine (or herbal medicine packs), since the herbal medicines are all dry (with very little moisture), a large amount of hot steam is needed to fully wet these herbal medicines, so that the volatile substances in the herbal medicines can be released from the multi-functional herbal fumigation device as soon as possible with the hot steam. At this time, the pores of the part of the user to be fumigated are quickly heated and opened, so that they can quickly adapt to and absorb these volatile substances from the herbal medicines. The multi-functional herbal fumigation device needs to provide a large amount of high-temperature (close to the maximum limit of the transdermal absorption temperature range of the drug) water vapor in a short period of time.

[0059] The second fumigation stage: After the first stage, the Chinese herbal medicines are completely soaked, and the user's skin pores have adjusted to the state of absorbing these volatile substances. It takes a certain amount of time for the user's skin to absorb these volatile substances. Therefore, at this time, the user needs to steadily absorb the volatile substances of the Chinese herbal medicines (providing too much volatile substances will be wasteful, and providing too little will result in poor absorption). The multi-functional Chinese herbal medicine fumigation device needs to stably provide a suitable temperature (close to the center temperature of the transdermal absorption temperature range of the medicine) and an appropriate amount of water vapor over a long period of time.

[0060] The third fumigation stage: At this point, the user has used the temperature data for a relatively long time, and the skin surface receiving the hot steam fumigation is almost at its limit. If the original hot steam output efficiency is maintained, it may burn the skin surface receiving the hot steam fumigation. Therefore, the herbal multi-functional fumigation device needs to provide a low temperature (close to the minimum limit of the transdermal absorption temperature range of the drug) and a small amount of hot steam.

[0061] It should be understood that the state of the hot steam in the three fumigation stages is different. From the first fumigation stage to the third fumigation stage, the amount of steam and the heat decrease in turn. Therefore, the state of the hot steam in the multi-functional fumigator for Chinese herbal medicine can be analyzed by combining water level data and temperature data at the current moment to determine the current fumigation stage.

[0062] In one alternative implementation, the current fumigation stage can be detected in real time.

[0063] In another alternative implementation, the current fumigation stage can be determined in response to a user's temperature adjustment instruction.

[0064] S303. Based on the adjustment data of the current fumigation stage and the fumigation time of the current fumigation stage, determine the degree of pressure relief.

[0065] The degree of pressure relief is used to characterize the extent to which a user's ability to relieve the effects of hot steam therapy during the current fumigation phase has reached its limit.

[0066] In one implementation of this application, user discomfort can be determined based on the number of adjustments, the amount of temperature adjustment each time, and the duration of the adjustment interval; user tolerance tendency can be determined based on the amount of temperature adjustment each time and the user discomfort; and the degree of pressure relief can be determined based on the tolerance tendency and the duration of fumigation in the current fumigation stage.

[0067] Among them, the user discomfort is used to characterize the degree of discomfort the user feels with the current fumigation temperature; the user tolerance tendency is used to characterize the degree of temperature the user tends to be able to tolerate.

[0068] In one alternative implementation, the number of adjustments, the amount of temperature adjustment each time, and the duration of the adjustment interval can be standardized or normalized, and then the user's discomfort can be determined based on the processed data.

[0069] It should be understood that determining user discomfort based on processed data can eliminate the influence of different dimensions between different data, resulting in a more accurate assessment of user discomfort.

[0070] Optionally, user discomfort is determined to satisfy the following formula:

[0071]

[0072] in, This indicates user discomfort during the current fumigation phase. express The absolute value of the average temperature adjustment amount under each adjustment number; Indicates the first The number of adjustments and the first The interval between each adjustment. This indicates the number of temperature adjustments during the current fumigation stage.

[0073] It is understandable that the faster and larger the adjustment frequency and magnitude of the user's adjustment during the current fumigation stage, the more obvious the user's discomfort with the hot steam containing volatile substances of Chinese herbal medicines during the current fumigation stage.

[0074] It should also be noted that the purpose of adding 1 and 2 to the denominator in the above formula is to prevent the denominator from being 0.

[0075] It should be understood that when a user adjusts the temperature, it may be adjusted upwards or downwards. The amount of each temperature adjustment can reflect the user's preferred temperature trend. Therefore, based on the amount of each temperature adjustment and the user's discomfort, the user's tolerance tendency can be determined.

[0076] In one alternative implementation, the first number and the second number can be determined based on the amount of temperature adjustment each time. When the first number is greater than the second number, the tolerance tendency is determined based on the first ratio and the user's discomfort. When the first number is less than or equal to the second number, the tolerance tendency is determined based on the second ratio and the user's discomfort.

[0077] Wherein, the second ratio is the ratio of the second number to the first number, the first ratio is the ratio of the first number to the second number, the first number is the number of times the temperature adjustment was positive, and the second number is the number of times the temperature adjustment was negative.

[0078] It should be understood that when users experience significant cumulative discomfort from the hot steam containing volatile substances from traditional Chinese medicine, there are generally two scenarios: one is that the user feels the temperature is high, in which case the temperature adjustment... The number of positive values ​​will be relatively high; another is when the user feels the temperature is low, in which case the temperature adjustment amount will be... The number of positive values ​​will be relatively small. Therefore, the adjustment can be made based on the temperature within the current fumigation stage. The positive and negative content is used to further calculate the user's tolerance tendency at the current moment.

[0079] Alternatively, the tolerance tendency satisfies the following formula:

[0080]

[0081] in, Indicates tolerance tendency. This indicates user discomfort during the current fumigation phase. This indicates the amount of temperature adjustment included in the current fumigation stage. A positive quantity; This indicates the amount of temperature adjustment included in the current fumigation stage. The quantity is negative.

[0082] Understandably, when This indicates that during the current fumigation stage, the main reason for user discomfort is the relatively low temperature of the hot steam containing volatile substances from traditional Chinese medicine, while the comfortable temperature perceived by the user's skin during fumigation is relatively high. The larger the value, the higher the comfortable temperature felt by the user's skin during steaming.

[0083] when This indicates that during the current fumigation stage, the main reason for user discomfort is the high temperature of the hot steam containing volatile substances from traditional Chinese medicine, while the comfortable temperature perceived by the user's skin during fumigation is low. The larger the value, the lower the comfortable temperature felt by the user's skin during steaming.

[0084] In this embodiment, based on the number of positive and negative temperature adjustments and the user's discomfort with the current temperature, the level and degree of the user's preferred comfortable temperature can be accurately reflected. This tolerance tendency can, to a certain extent, reflect the different temperature tolerance tendencies exhibited by the skin after the user voluntarily intervenes in the temperature.

[0085] It should be understood that the purpose of users actively intervening in the heating temperature is to allow themselves to undergo the herbal fumigation process for as long as possible. Therefore, when users actively intervene in the heating temperature, the rate at which their skin's ability to withstand the heat therapy from the hot steam reaches its limit will be slowed down.

[0086] Therefore, the degree of stress relief can be determined based on this tolerance tendency and the duration of fumigation in the current fumigation phase.

[0087] Optionally, the degree of pressure relief satisfies the following formula:

[0088]

[0089] in, Indicates the degree of stress relief. This indicates the duration between the current moment and the start time of the current fumigation stage. This indicates a tendency to tolerate.

[0090] In this embodiment, based on the number of adjustments, the amount of temperature adjustment each time, and the duration of the adjustment interval, the user's level of discomfort with the current fumigation temperature can be accurately determined. In addition, the amount of temperature adjustment, i.e. the user's adjustment target, can reflect the user's preferred level of comfort temperature. Combined with the fumigation duration of the current fumigation stage and the fumigation principle, the extent to which the user's ability to relieve the heat therapy from the hot steam during the current fumigation stage has reached its limit can be accurately determined.

[0091] S304. Determine the tolerance level based on the degree of pressure relief and the current fumigation stage.

[0092] It should be understood that in the actual process of herbal fumigation, regardless of whether the user actively intervenes in the heating temperature, the skin's ability to withstand the heat therapy from the hot steam will gradually reach its limit as the entire fumigation process (which includes not only the current fumigation stage but also previous fumigation stages) is completed.

[0093] Understandably, the earlier the fumigation stage, the greater the user's tolerance for the remaining fumigation process; similarly, the greater the pressure relief, the greater the user's tolerance for the remaining fumigation process.

[0094] In this embodiment, based on the current fumigation stage, the remaining fumigation time can be predicted, and based on the user's ability to relieve the heat therapy of hot steam at the current fumigation stage and the current fumigation stage, the user's ability to relieve the heat therapy of hot steam at the current fumigation stage can be accurately predicted.

[0095] In one alternative implementation, the sum of the pressure relief levels at each fumigation stage can be determined as the tolerance.

[0096] In one alternative implementation, when the current fumigation stage is the first fumigation stage, it means that the user's skin, which is in contact with the hot steam, has reached its limit in terms of the ability to withstand the heat therapy of the hot steam and will not be affected by the cumulative effect of the fumigation stage. In this case, the pressure relief level of the current fumigation stage can be determined as the user's tolerance level.

[0097] Optionally, the degree of stress relief can be normalized, and the normalized value can be used as the user's tolerance at the current moment.

[0098] In another alternative implementation, when the current fumigation stage is not the first fumigation stage, the degree of mitigation for each historical fumigation stage is determined based on the number and amount of temperature adjustments for each historical fumigation stage, and the tolerance is determined based on the degree of mitigation for each historical fumigation stage and the degree of pressure relief.

[0099] The degree of mitigation of a historical fumigation phase is used to characterize the extent to which a user can mitigate their ability to withstand hot steam therapy by adjusting the temperature during that historical fumigation phase.

[0100] It is understandable that when the current fumigation stage is not the first fumigation stage, it means that the user's skin's ability to withstand the heat therapy from the hot steam has reached its limit and will be affected by the cumulative effects of previous fumigation stages. In this case, it is necessary to calculate the degree of mitigation of the user's skin tolerance limit in the historical fumigation stages.

[0101] Optionally, the degree of relief experienced by the user during each historical fumigation phase satisfies the following formula:

[0102]

[0103] in, This indicates the degree of easing during a historical fumigation phase. This indicates the number of times the user adjusted the temperature during this historical fumigation period. This indicates the amount of temperature adjustment made each time during this historical fumigation phase.

[0104] It should be understood that the more times a user adjusts their treatment and the larger the adjustment range, the more the user's ability to tolerate hot steam therapy has been alleviated. The longer the fumigation time, the greater the extent to which the user's ability to tolerate hot steam therapy has reached its limit. Therefore, the degree of relief for each historical fumigation stage can be determined based on the adjustment data for each fumigation stage and the fumigation time for each stage.

[0105] In one alternative implementation, the tolerance is determined based on the degree of mitigation and pressure relief during each historical fumigation stage, satisfying the following formula:

[0106]

[0107] in, Indicates the user's tolerance level. This indicates the number of historical fumigation stages at the current moment. Indicates the degree of stress relief. Indicates the first The degree of easing during a historical fumigation phase.

[0108] In one implementation of this application, the data processing module 201 is used to determine the current fumigation stage based on the water level data and the temperature data. Specifically, it is used to: determine the water vapor consumption rate based on the water level data, determine the average temperature based on the temperature data, determine the demand for hot steam based on the water vapor consumption rate and the average temperature, and determine the current fumigation stage based on the demand for hot steam.

[0109] The water level data includes the water level at each moment, the temperature data includes the temperature at each moment, and the hot steam demand is used to characterize the amount of hot steam generated in the multifunctional herbal fumigator at the current moment.

[0110] It should be understood that the steam volume and heat decrease sequentially within the three fumigation stages. Therefore, the steam state of the multi-functional herbal medicine fumigator at the current moment can be analyzed by combining water level data and temperature data to determine the corresponding fumigation stage.

[0111] In this embodiment, the time period consisting of consecutive moments when the water level data continuously rises is designated as the water supply time period, and the time period consisting of consecutive moments when the water level data continuously falls is designated as the water outage consumption time period. Both of these time periods are collectively referred to as the steam generation time period. The water supply time period and the water outage consumption time period alternate with each other.

[0112] Optionally, the water vapor consumption rate at the current moment satisfies the following formula:

[0114] First of all, Indicates water vapor consumption rate. This indicates the time interval at the start of adjacent steam generation periods. This represents the total number of time periods before the current moment when steam is generated.

[0115] In one alternative implementation, the water vapor consumption rate can be determined based on the time interval at the start of adjacent steam generation periods after data standardization or normalization.

[0116] Optionally, the time interval between the start of each water level rise can be determined based on the water level data to detect the start time of adjacent steam generation periods.

[0117] It is understandable that a higher water vapor consumption rate indicates a faster steam consumption rate before the current moment, and that the multi-functional herbal fumigation device generates more and faster hot steam at the current moment.

[0118] Optionally, the average temperature is determined based on the temperature data during the steam generation period. The higher the average temperature, the greater the heat generated by the steam before the current moment, and the more heat is contained in the steam generated by the multifunctional herbal fumigation device at the current moment.

[0119] In one alternative implementation, it can be based on water vapor consumption rate and average temperature. Determine the demand for hot steam, satisfying the following formula:

[0120]

[0121] in, Indicates the demand for hot steam. Indicates the average temperature. This indicates the water vapor consumption rate.

[0122] It should be understood that the greater the demand for hot steam, the greater the amount of heat and the higher the content of the hot steam generated by the multi-functional herbal fumigation device at that moment.

[0123] Based on the description of the above embodiments, it should be understood that the amount of hot steam in the three fumigation stages decreases and the temperature decreases. Therefore, the current fumigation stage can be determined based on the demand for hot steam.

[0124] In one alternative implementation, a first threshold and a second threshold can be set to distinguish between the first fumigation stage, the second fumigation stage, and the third fumigation stage.

[0125] In this embodiment, since the demand for hot steam is used to characterize the amount of hot steam generated in the multifunctional herbal fumigator at the current moment, and the amount of hot steam is different in the three fumigation stages, the current fumigation stage can be accurately distinguished based on the amount of hot steam.

[0126] It is understandable that the demand for hot steam at each moment may not be exactly equal to the first threshold (or the second threshold). Therefore, based on the demand for hot steam, the current fumigation stage can be determined in three ways: when the demand for hot steam is less than the first threshold for the first time, but greater than or equal to the second threshold, the time period between the start time of fumigation and the current time is determined as the first fumigation stage; when the demand for hot steam is less than the second threshold for the first time, the time period between the end time of the first fumigation stage and the current time is determined as the second fumigation stage; and the time period after the end time of the second fumigation stage is determined as the third fumigation stage.

[0127] It should be understood that, within the entire time period of the current fumigation stage, the moment when the value is less than the first threshold and greater than or equal to the second threshold can be regarded as the dividing point between the first and second fumigation stages, and the moment when the value is less than the second threshold can be regarded as the dividing point between the second and third fumigation stages.

[0128] For example, assuming the first threshold is 0.55 and the second threshold is 0.35, when the steam demand at the current moment is less than 0.55 for the first time, the entire time period before the current moment (including the current moment) is considered the first fumigation stage. When calculating the steam demand at subsequent moments, the steam demand needs to be analyzed and calculated from the time period after the current moment. If the steam demand at the corresponding subsequent moment is less than 0.35 for the first time, then the entire time period between the corresponding subsequent moment (including the current moment) and the current moment is considered the second fumigation stage; all remaining moments for continued detection are considered the third fumigation stage. Conversely, if the steam demand at the current moment is less than 0.35... If it is not less than 0.55 (the preset value), then the current time is classified as the first fumigation stage. Subsequent calculations will continue to identify whether the new time is less than 0.55 for the first time, until the above-mentioned first time less than 0.55 is met, and then the second fumigation stage will be divided.

[0129] In this embodiment of the application, after determining the threshold for distinguishing the three fumigation stages, the moment when the threshold is first less than the first threshold is still determined as the first fumigation stage. This allows for a more complete division of the time period of the first fumigation stage, resulting in more complete and accurate calculation of the data for each fumigation stage.

[0130] This application also proposes an intelligent control system for a multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and running on the processor. The processor is able to implement the functions of any of the above-mentioned intelligent control methods for a multifunctional fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine by executing the computer program.
