[0032] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the attached drawing figures, wherein the same or like component have the same or similar designations. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are intended to provide an explanation of the present application and are not intended to provide an exhaustive list of the present application.

[0033] A bathroom heater control method, a bathroom heater, a computer readable storage medium and a bathroom heater control device according to embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the attached drawing figures.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 The bathroom heater can include a cabinet 310, a heating assembly 311, a fan assembly 312 and a first controller 313 arranged in the cabinet 310, the first controller 313 being in communication connection with the heating assembly 311 and the fan assembly 312 respectively; a panel 320, the panel 320 including a swing assembly 321 and a second controller 322, the panel 320 being arranged on the cabinet 310 and the swing assembly 321 being arranged corresponding to an air outlet on the cabinet 310, the second controller 322 being in communication connection with the swing assembly 321 and the first controller 313 respectively.

[0035] Specifically, the heating assembly 311 can be a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heating ceramic assembly, whose resistance changes with temperature. When a voltage is applied, the initial resistance of the PTC material is low, and the heat generated by the current passing through is also low. However, as the current passes through and the temperature rises, the resistance of the material increases sharply, which causes more electrical energy to be converted into heat energy. In addition, the PTC heating ceramic assembly can automatically limit the current after reaching a certain temperature, thereby stabilizing the temperature and avoiding overheating. The fan assembly 312 can include a fan and a DC motor. The first controller 313 is in communication with the fan assembly 312, and the second controller 322 is in communication with the swing assembly 321. After the second controller 322 obtains the swing position and angle information of the swing assembly 321, it can determine the distance of the blowing range, so that the speed of the DC motor can be adjusted by the first controller 313 to change the size of the wind speed and the amount of wind, and the heating assembly 311 can be heated to blow to each part of the indoor area through the swing assembly 321 arranged at the air outlet of the bath heater, thereby realizing uniform temperature rise of the indoor environment. In addition, when the wind speed is increased, the PTC heating ceramic assembly can also increase the heating power and heat conversion efficiency, thereby further increasing the temperature of the air outlet to increase the temperature of the air after a certain distance of blowing. In addition, the first controller 313 and the second controller 322 communicate with each other, and the communication information can include temperature information, swing angle or position information, fan assembly speed information, and bath heater state, etc.

[0036] Figure 1 A flowchart of the bath heater control method according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1 , the bath heater control method according to an embodiment of the present application can include the following steps:

[0038] S1, control the fan assembly to blow the hot air heated by the heating assembly through the air outlet, and control the swing assembly to adjust the air outlet angle.

[0039] S2, obtain the air outlet angle, and adjust the speed of the fan assembly based on the relationship between the air outlet angle and the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area in the target space, to balance the temperature of the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area.

[0040] Specifically, the fan assembly can include a fan and a direct current motor, and the speed of the direct current motor can be adjusted by the direct current motor, so as to change the size of the wind speed and the wind volume. In the process of heating the target space, the fan assembly can be controlled to blow the hot air heated by the heating assembly out of the air outlet, and the swing fan assembly can be controlled to adjust the air outlet angle of the air outlet. For example, the swing fan assembly can include a swing page and a swing motor, and the swing page can swing in different directions and at different speeds by adjusting the speed and direction of the swing motor, so as to adjust the air outlet angle of the air outlet of the shower heater to heat different areas.

[0041] Although the fan assembly can be controlled to blow the hot air heated by the heating assembly out of the air outlet, and the swing fan assembly can be controlled to adjust the air outlet angle of the air outlet, the hot air can be blown in multiple directions. However, due to the limited air supply distance of the hot air, the temperature difference between the area directly below the shower heater and the peripheral area is still large, and the temperature in the bathroom cannot be relatively uniformly increased. Therefore, the air outlet angle can be obtained, for example, by installing an angle sensor at a specific position to obtain the air outlet angle. After obtaining the air outlet angle, the speed of the fan assembly can be adjusted according to the relationship between the air outlet angle and the human heating area and the non-human heating area in the target space. For example, the shower heater is usually installed directly above the human heating area (such as the position close to the shower for bathing), so that the user has a better heating effect during bathing. The heating effect of the non-human heating area (such as the position away from the shower for bathing) is poor. Therefore, in this case, the air outlet angle can be determined according to the pre-set air outlet angle, that is, whether the air outlet angle is directed to the human heating area or the non-human heating area. Therefore, when the hot air is blown to the human heating area, the speed of the fan assembly can be adjusted, such as reducing the speed of the fan assembly. At this time, the heat conversion efficiency and power of the heating assembly will be reduced, so as to reduce the temperature of the air at the air outlet and the temperature of the central area of the shower heater. When the hot air is blown to the non-human heating area, the speed of the fan assembly can be adjusted, such as increasing the speed of the fan assembly. At this time, the heat conversion efficiency and power of the heating assembly will be increased, so as to increase the temperature of the air at the air outlet, and the air supply distance will also be increased. At this time, the hot air can cover a wider range of the bathroom, which can effectively increase the temperature of the target space in the peripheral area (non-human heating area), and after the temperature in the non-human heating area is increased, the temperature in the human heating area will also be increased, so as to balance the temperature in the human heating area and the non-human heating area.

[0042] Thus, by controlling the fan assembly to blow the hot air heated by the heating assembly through the air outlet, and controlling the swing fan assembly to adjust the air outlet angle, the air outlet angle is obtained, and the speed of the fan assembly is adjusted based on the relationship between the air outlet angle and the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area in the target space, so as to balance the temperature of the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area, thereby enabling the temperature in the space to be more uniform than in the case of constant-speed blowing, improving the user's temperature sensation, and reducing the start-up time of the bathroom heater and energy consumption.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present application, adjusting the speed of the fan assembly based on the relationship between the air outlet angle and the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area in the target space includes: when the air outlet angle is towards the human body heating area, reducing the speed of the fan assembly to reduce the temperature of the first heating sub-area; and when the air outlet angle is towards the non-human body heating area, increasing the speed of the fan assembly to increase the temperature of the second heating sub-area and the non-human body heating area; wherein the human body heating area includes a first heating sub-area close to the heating assembly and a second heating sub-area away from the heating assembly.

[0044] Specifically, when adjusting the speed of the fan assembly based on the relationship between the air outlet angle and the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area in the target space, when the air outlet angle is towards the human body heating area, the speed of the fan assembly can be reduced, at which time the heat conversion efficiency and power of the heating assembly will be reduced, thereby reducing the temperature of the air at the air outlet to reduce the temperature of the first heating sub-area. The human body heating area can include a first heating sub-area close to the heating assembly and a second heating sub-area away from the heating assembly, i.e., the position above the heating assembly (such as the upper body part of the user) as the first heating sub-area, and the position away from the heating assembly (such as the lower body part of the user) as the second heating sub-area, and the first heating sub-area and the second heating sub-area together constitute the human body heating area.

[0045] When the air outlet angle is directed to the non-human body heating area, the rotating speed of the fan assembly can be increased, and the heat conversion efficiency and power of the heating assembly are increased, so that the temperature of the air at the air outlet is increased, and the air supply distance is increased, so that the hot air covers a wider bathroom range, so as to increase the temperature of the second heating sub-area and the non-human body heating area. That is, when the air outlet angle is directed to the human body heating area, the rotating speed of the fan assembly is reduced, the temperature of the lower body part of the user (the second heating sub-area) is low, which brings a poor experience to the user, and when the air outlet angle is directed to the non-human body heating area, if the rotating speed of the fan assembly is kept unchanged, the temperature difference between the non-human body heating area and the first heating sub-area is large, and the bathroom heater needs to be turned on for a long time to make the temperature of the whole target space balanced. Therefore, when the air outlet angle is directed to the non-human body heating area, the rotating speed of the fan assembly is increased, so that the temperature of the non-human body heating area is increased, and after the temperature of the non-human body heating area is increased, the temperature of the second heating sub-area is also increased, so that the temperature of the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area is balanced.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present application, the bathroom heater control method further comprises: when the air outlet angle is in a preset angle range, determining that the air outlet angle is directed to the human body heating area; and when the air outlet angle is not in the preset angle range, determining that the air outlet angle is directed to the non-human body heating area. The preset angle range can be determined according to actual conditions.

[0047] Specifically, when the air outlet angle is directed to the human body heating area or the non-human body heating area, the air outlet angle and the preset angle range can be determined, for example, the position directly below the bathroom heater is taken as a center position, and the human body heating area is taken as the center position, and the preset angle range can be a certain angle offset to the left and right of the center position, for example, the preset angle range is from a first preset angle to a second preset angle, wherein the first preset angle and the second preset angle are equal in size and opposite in direction, for example, the first preset angle can be -5 degrees, and the second preset angle can be 5 degrees, that is, when the air outlet angle is between -5 degrees and 5 degrees, it can be determined that the air outlet angle is directed to the human body heating area, and when the air outlet angle is not in the preset angle range, for example, when the air outlet angle is greater than 5 degrees or less than -5 degrees, it is determined that the air outlet angle is directed to the non-human body heating area.

[0048] It should be noted that the angle can be defined as positive when the swing assembly swings to the right from the center position, and as negative when the swing assembly swings to the left from the center position, or the angle can be defined as positive when the swing assembly swings to the left from the center position, and as negative when the swing assembly swings to the right from the center position.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the bathroom heater control method further includes: determining one or more of human body position, human body characteristic parameters and target space parameters; determining human body heating area and non-human body heating area based on one or more of human body position, human body characteristic parameters and target space parameters, and / or determining the rotational speed of the fan assembly.

[0050] Specifically, the defined heating areas for the human body and the non-heating areas differ depending on the location of the body. For example, Figure 2 As shown, when a person is directly below the bathroom heater, the heated area for the person is between angles a1 and a2. The area closer to the heater is designated as the first heating sub-area A1, and the area farther from the heater is designated as the second heating sub-area A2. The heater's oscillation to the right is considered positive, and to the left is negative. Therefore, a1 is negative and a2 is positive. The areas with airflow angles less than a1 or greater than a2 are considered non-heated areas. Thus, the fan speed can be determined based on the person's position. When the person is directly below the heater (airflow angle between a1 and a2), the fan speed can be reduced; when the airflow angle is outside this range, the fan speed can be increased to achieve temperature balance throughout the space.

[0051] Additionally, if the person is not directly under the bathroom heater, for example, Figure 3 As shown, the non-human heating area B is located directly below the bathroom heater, while the human heating areas (first heating sub-area A1 and second heating sub-area A2) are far from the center of the bathroom heater. Therefore, the fan speed can be determined based on the human's position. When the air outlet angle is between a1 and a2, it is the non-human heating area B, and the fan speed can be reduced. When the air outlet angle is not between a1 and a2, it is the human heating area, and the fan speed can be increased. This ensures temperature balance throughout the space and improves the user experience.

[0052] In addition, different people have different body characteristic parameters, for example, different heights, and adults are taller and children are shorter. The body heating area and the non-body heating area can be determined according to the body characteristic parameters, for example, in the upper body area of the human body, the body heating area close to the heating assembly is the first heating sub-area, in the lower body area of the human body, the body heating area away from the heating assembly is the second heating sub-area, and the remaining area is the non-body heating area. In addition, when determining the body characteristic parameters, such as height, the distance between the shower and the human body can be measured by an infrared sensor. The infrared sensor is installed in the shower. The infrared sensor works by emitting infrared light and receiving the signal generated after the reflection or absorption of the human body. When the light beam is reflected back to the sensor by the human body or absorbed by the object, the sensor can calculate the distance between the human body and the sensor, thereby determining the distance between the human body and the shower. When the distance is far, the speed of the fan assembly can be increased, so that more hot air is blown to the user, thereby improving the user experience. When the distance is close, the speed of the fan assembly can be reduced to prevent the temperature from being too high, avoid safety hazards in high-temperature conditions, and avoid giving the user a less comfortable experience.

[0053] In addition, different target space parameters are designed, for example, the design positions of the shower and the shower head in the target space are different according to actual conditions. Some designs have the shower at the center position of the target space, and the shower head at a corner position (such as the southeast corner area) of the target space. Some designs have the shower head at a corner position of the target space, and the shower above the area position of the shower head. Different design parameters correspond to different body heating areas and non-body heating areas, for example, when the shower is designed at the center position of the target space and the shower head is designed at the southeast corner area of the target space, the body heating area can be determined as the southeast corner area of the target space, and the non-body heating area is the other area except the southeast corner area. In addition, the speed of the fan assembly can be determined according to the target space parameters, for example, when the shower is designed at the center position of the target space and the shower head is designed at the southeast corner area of the target space, the speed of the fan assembly can be controlled to decrease when the fan assembly blows air towards the center position, and the speed of the fan assembly can be controlled to increase when the fan assembly blows air towards positions other than the center position, so as to balance the temperature in the entire space.

[0054] In addition, the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area can be determined according to the human body position and the human body characteristic parameter, and the rotating speed of the fan assembly can be determined, the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area can be determined according to the human body position and the target space parameter, and the rotating speed of the fan assembly can be determined, the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area can be determined according to the target space parameter and the human body characteristic parameter, and the rotating speed of the fan assembly can be determined, the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area can be determined according to the human body position, the human body characteristic parameter and the target space parameter, and the rotating speed of the fan assembly can be determined, and the specific mode is the same as the above determination mode, and details are not repeated here.

[0055] According to an embodiment of the present application, the swing fan assembly includes a swing fan motor, and the method for obtaining the air outlet angle includes: obtaining a control pulse of the swing fan motor; and determining the air outlet angle based on the control pulse.

[0056] Specifically, the swing fan assembly can include a swing fan motor, and when obtaining the air outlet angle, the control pulse of the swing fan motor can be obtained first. The swing fan motor usually uses a stepping motor or a direct current motor, and a special position sensor (such as an optical encoder or a Hall sensor) can be used to detect the rotation of the motor and generate a corresponding control pulse signal. The control pulse of the swing fan motor can be obtained by reading the pulse signal on the control signal line, and after the control pulse is determined, the air outlet angle can be determined according to the control pulse. For example, the air outlet angle can be determined according to the number of control pulses of the swing fan motor within a certain time.

[0057] According to an embodiment of the present application, the swing fan assembly includes a swing fan motor, and the method for obtaining the air outlet angle includes: obtaining a control pulse of the swing fan motor; and determining the air outlet angle based on the control pulse.

[0058] When the air outlet angle is determined according to the control pulse, the pulse length and the pulse number of the control pulse can be obtained. For example, an oscilloscope can be connected to the control signal line of the swing fan motor, and the waveform of the pulse can be observed. The length of the pulse can be determined by measuring the high level time or the low level time of the pulse, and the number of pulses can be obtained by counting the number of pulses displayed by the oscilloscope. After the pulse length and the pulse number of the control pulse are determined, the air outlet angle can be determined according to the pulse length and the pulse number. For example, the total duration of the pulse can be determined according to the product of the pulse length and the pulse number, that is, the cumulative time of the pulse signal within a certain time, and the air outlet angle can be determined according to the cumulative time, that is, the air outlet angle can be determined through a predetermined corresponding relationship. For example, the relationship between the cumulative time and the air outlet angle is determined in advance, and after the cumulative time is determined, the air outlet angle can be obtained by directly calling the corresponding relationship.

[0059] The control method of the present application will be described below in combination with Figure 4

[0060] ​As a specific example, the bathroom heater control method of the present invention may include the following steps:

[0061] S101, control the fan assembly to blow the hot air heated by the heating assembly out through the air outlet, and control the swing assembly to adjust the air outlet angle.

[0062] S102, acquire the control pulse of the swing motor, and acquire the pulse length and number of the control pulse.

[0063] S103 determines the air outlet angle based on pulse length and pulse number.

[0064] S104. Determine whether the air outlet angle is within the preset angle range. If yes, proceed to step S105; if no, proceed to step S107.

[0065] S105, determine the air outlet angle towards the human body heating area.

[0066] S106, reduce the rotational speed of the fan assembly to lower the temperature of the first heating sub-region.

[0067] S107, determine the air outlet angle towards the non-human heating area.

[0068] S108, increase the rotation speed of the fan assembly to increase the temperature of the second heating sub-area and the non-human heating area.

[0069] In summary, the bathroom heater control method according to embodiments of the present invention controls the fan assembly to blow hot air heated by the heating assembly through the air outlet, and controls the swing assembly to adjust the air outlet angle to obtain the air outlet angle. Based on the relationship between the air outlet angle and the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area in the target space, the rotation speed of the fan assembly is adjusted to balance the temperature of the human body heating area and the non-human body heating area. Therefore, this method enables a more uniform temperature distribution in the space compared to constant-speed airflow, improving the user's perceived temperature, while also reducing the bathroom heater's operating time and lowering energy consumption.

[0070] Corresponding to the above embodiments, the present invention also proposes a bathroom heater.
