Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of styler, and particularly relates to a styler and a control method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of hair care, hair care appliances such as hair dryers, straighteners, curlers and the like have become common tools for daily styling. Such hair care appliances are usually controlled by manually operating a switch to control the running state, and the user needs to start and stop the equipment or adjust the power according to the use demand in the styling process.
[0003] However, in actual use scenarios, the user often keeps the hair care appliance in a running state during the styling interval. For example, in the process of blow-drying hair, arranging hair, trimming hair or applying hair care products, the hair care appliance is temporarily placed aside, and at this time, the airflow or heat output does not act on the hair. The continuous running in this idle state not only causes a large amount of energy waste, but also causes the temperature of the local area where the hair care appliance is placed to continuously rise, which easily causes safety hazards. Although the user can manually turn off the hair care appliance to avoid the above problems, frequent manual operation in the styling process will increase the user's burden and reduce the use convenience.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new styler. SUMMARY
[0005] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application are committed to providing a styler and a control method to solve the problem that the existing styler cannot accurately control the idle standby and easily mis-trigger the idle standby function.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a styler, comprising:
[0007] a holding part;
[0008] a clamping assembly arranged on the holding part, the clamping assembly having at least two clamping pieces, the clamping assembly having a release state and a clamping state in which the relative positions of the at least two clamping pieces are different;
[0009] a state detection assembly for generating a state detection signal representing the state of the clamping assembly;
[0010] a posture detection assembly for generating a pose state signal representing the posture of the styler;
[0011] a function execution component for implementing at least one styling function;
[0012] The control module is configured to, when the function execution component is running, determine, based on the state detection signal, that the clamping component has been in the released state for a period of time or longer than a first preset duration, and when the pose state signal determines, based on the pose state signal, that the modeler has been in a specified pose for a period of time or longer than a second preset duration, control the function execution component to reduce its operating power or stop operating.
[0013] According to the molding device of this application, the state detection component includes a magnetic sensitive element and a magnetic element, the magnetic sensitive element and the magnetic element are respectively fixed on the two clamping members, and the magnetic sensitive element outputs different state detection signals to the control module when the clamping component is in the released state and the clamping state.
[0014] According to the styling device of this application, the posture detection component is used to detect at least one of the angle between the styling device and the horizontal plane, the flip angle of the styling device, and the spatial orientation of the styling device, and generate a pose state signal representing the corresponding posture and send it to the control module.
[0015] Optionally, the clamping component includes a plurality of outer peripheral surfaces distributed around its circumference. The outer peripheral surfaces are the main surfaces of the clamping component and extend along the length direction of the clamping component. The posture detection component is used to detect the angle between each of the plurality of outer peripheral surfaces and the horizontal plane, and generate a pose state signal containing information of the plurality of angles and send it to the control module. The control module determines that the modeler is in a specified pose when at least one of the angles meets a preset angle range.
[0016] According to the molding device of this application, the functional execution component includes a fan, and the operating power includes the operating power of the fan.
[0017] Optionally, the function execution component further includes a heating assembly, at least one of the clamping members is provided with an air duct, the air duct has an air inlet and an air outlet, the air inlet of the air duct is connected to the outlet of the fan, the heating assembly is configured to cooperate with the air duct, the heating assembly is used to heat the airflow in the air duct, and the operating power also includes the heating power of the heating assembly.
[0018] According to the molding device of this application, the clamping component is determined to be in the clamping state based on the state detection signal, without timing the duration of the clamping state.
[0019] Or, even if the clamping state continues for a period of time or longer than a first preset duration, the attitude detection component will not be activated.
[0020] Even if the clamping state lasts for a period of time or longer than a first preset duration, the pose state signal determines that the modeler is in a specified pose, and the duration of the pose state signal is not timed.
[0021] Even if the clamping state continues for a period of time or longer than the first preset duration, and the pose state signal determines that the modeler is in a specified pose for a period of time or longer than the second preset duration, the operating power of the function execution component will not be changed.
[0022] Optionally, the outer peripheral surface includes a first set of outer peripheral surfaces and a second set of outer peripheral surfaces, both of which can stably position the modeler when placed on a horizontal plane.
[0023] Secondly, this application proposes a control method for controlling the aforementioned modeler, comprising:
[0024] When the functional execution component of the stylist is running, it is detected whether the clamping component of the stylist is in a released state;
[0025] After the clamping component is in the released state and continues for a first preset time, the posture of the shaper is detected.
[0026] When the stylist remains in a specified position for a preset duration for a period of time or longer than a second preset duration, the function execution component of the stylist is controlled to reduce its operating power.
[0027] Optionally, the function execution component controlling the modeler reduces operating power by:
[0028] The function execution unit is controlled to operate at a second operating power, which is different from the first operating power before adjustment;
[0029] If the clamping component remains in the released state and the modeler is in a specified position for a third preset duration, the function execution component is controlled to close.
[0030] Optionally, the control method further includes: when the function execution unit is running at the second operating power, if it is detected that the clamping component has switched from the release state to the clamping state, then control the function execution unit to run at the first operating power.
[0031] The control method according to this application also includes:
[0032] When the clamping component is not in the released state, or the duration of being in the released state does not reach the first preset duration, or the clamping component is not in the specified pose, or the modeler is in the specified pose but the duration does not reach the second preset duration, the current operating power of the function execution component remains unchanged.
[0033] The control method according to this application also includes:
[0034] When the clamping assembly is in the clamping state, the duration of the clamping state is not timed.
[0035] Or, even if the clamping state continues for a period of time or longer than a first preset duration, the posture of the shaper is not detected.
[0036] Even if the clamping state lasts for a period of time or longer than the first preset duration, and the stylist is detected to be in a specified pose, the duration of the stylist being in the specified pose is not timed.
[0037] Even if the clamping state continues for a period of time or longer than the first preset duration, or the modeler is in a specified position for a period of time or longer than the second preset duration, the operating power of the function execution component will not be changed.
[0038] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0039] The modeler provided in this application, during its operation, while the function execution component initiates and executes the modeling function, continuously monitors the working state of the clamping component. By sensing the relative position changes of the two clamping parts in real time, it generates a state detection signal to accurately reflect whether the clamping component is currently in a released or clamped state. The attitude detection component can adopt a real-time monitoring mode or a non-real-time trigger-based monitoring mode. In real-time monitoring mode, the attitude detection component can monitor the spatial attitude of the clamping component in real time, generating a pose state signal by monitoring parameters such as the spatial orientation of the clamping component and its angle with the horizontal plane, reflecting the attitude of the clamping component in real time. In non-real-time trigger-based mode, when the duration of the clamping component being in the clamped or released state has not reached a first preset duration, the attitude detection component can be in a low-power standby state or intermittent low-frequency monitoring. When the control module determines that the clamping component has been in the released state for a duration that has reached or exceeded the first preset duration based on the state detection signal of the state detection component, the control module triggers the attitude detection component to enter a high-frequency monitoring state and generate a pose state signal.
[0040] When the attitude detection component is in real-time monitoring mode, the control module continuously receives the status detection signal and pose signal output by the status detection component. When it detects that the clamping component is in a released state for a duration equal to or exceeding a first preset duration, and the pose signal indicates that the modeler has been in a specified pose for a duration equal to or exceeding a second preset duration, the control module sends a control command to the function execution component to reduce operating power. The function execution component then reduces operating power according to the control command. When the attitude detection component is in a non-real-time monitoring mode requiring triggering, the control module first confirms through the status signal that the clamping component is in a released state for a duration equal to or exceeding a first preset duration. Then, it controls the attitude detection component to trigger and receives the pose signal generated after the trigger. If the pose signal indicates that the modeler is in a specified pose for a duration equal to or exceeding a second preset duration, the control module sends a control command to the function execution component to reduce operating power. The function execution component then reduces operating power according to the control command.
[0041] The modeler of this application can control the modeler by combining the state detection signal of the clamping component and the pose signal of the posture detection component. The power reduction adjustment is only initiated when the clamping component is in the released state for a period of time or longer than a first preset time and the modeler is in a specified pose for a period of time or longer than a second preset time. This significantly reduces the probability of false triggering, ensures the functional stability in special operating scenarios such as flat use, improves the accuracy and reliability of idle detection, and avoids the impact of misjudgment on the normal user experience.

[0047] Figure label:
[0048] The device includes a shaper 1, a gripping part 10, a clamping assembly 20, a first outer peripheral surface 201, a second outer peripheral surface 202, a third outer peripheral surface 203, a fourth outer peripheral surface 204, a clamping member 21, and an air outlet 22. Detailed Implementation
[0049] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0050] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.
[0051] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.
[0052] Some styling tools 1 have an idle standby function, but they are prone to accidental activation when used horizontally. Even though the styling tool 1 is in a horizontal position, the user is still styling the hair, which can lead to unexpected power reduction of the heating element and fan shutdown. This not only interrupts the styling process but also requires the user to restart or wait for the device to return to its operating power, significantly reducing the smoothness of use and the user experience. To address this, this application proposes a novel styling tool 1.
[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the sculptor 1 according to an embodiment of this application includes: a gripping part 10, a clamping component 20, a state detection component, a posture detection component, and a control module.
[0054] Specifically, the clamping assembly 20 is disposed on the gripping part 10, and the clamping assembly 20 has at least two clamping members 21. The clamping assembly 20 has at least two clamping members 21 in a release state and a clamping state with different relative positions. The state detection assembly is used to generate a state detection signal indicating the working state of the clamping assembly 20. The posture detection assembly is used to generate a pose state signal indicating the posture of the clamping assembly 20. The function execution component is disposed on the gripping part 10 or the clamping assembly 20, and the function execution component is used to implement at least one modeling function. The control module is used to control the function execution component to reduce the operating power or stop operating when the function execution component is running, based on the state detection signal, it is determined that the clamping assembly 20 has been in the release state for a period of time or longer than a first preset time, and based on the pose state signal, it is determined that the modeler 1 has been in a specified pose for a period of time or longer than a second preset time.
[0055] The grip part 10 is the hand-held operating part of the shaper 1. The surface can be provided with anti-slip texture or a grip area made of silicone material. The clamping component 20 is located at the front end of the grip part 10.
[0056] The clamping assembly 20 typically includes two opposing clamping members 21. In some embodiments, it may also include three, four, or other numbers of clamping members 21. Different numbers of clamping members 21 can achieve different styling functions. For example, three clamping members 21 can be arranged in a triangular pattern, and four clamping members 21 can be evenly distributed along the circumference. Multiple (more than one) clamping members 21 can rotate relative to each other through hinge shafts or other elastic connectors to form a released state and a clamping state. In the released state, the clamping members 21 are open to facilitate the insertion or release of hair. In the clamping state, the clamping members 21 are brought together or closed to clamp the hair, which can apply a uniform clamping force to the hair to achieve various styling effects such as straight hair, curly hair, and wavy hair.
[0057] The installation of the status detection component can be adapted to the structure of the clamping component 20, accurately identifying whether the clamping component 20 is in a released or clamping state. The status detection component can monitor the changes in the working state of the clamping component 20 in real time and generate corresponding status detection signals according to the corresponding detection mechanism, which are then sent to the control module. The change in the working state of the clamping component 20 can be a change from a clamping state to a released state, or a change from a released state to a clamping state, thus initially identifying whether the clamping component 20 is in a working state or an idle working state.
[0058] The attitude detection component is used to monitor the spatial attitude characteristics of the clamping component 20. It can be set in the non-operation area of the clamping component 20 or in the gripping part 10. The attitude detection component is used to capture attitude parameters such as the spatial orientation and the angle with the horizontal plane of the clamping component 20, and generate corresponding pose state signals according to the corresponding attitude parameters, and send them to the control module to provide feedback on the attitude of the clamping component 20.
[0059] The specified pose is a set of specific spatial poses preset by the control module to determine whether the modeler 1 may be in an idle state.
[0060] The specified pose can include the following postures:
[0061] The clamping component 20 is in a horizontal, flat position, with its main axis being substantially parallel to the horizontal plane, and the angle between them typically within the range of 0° ± 15°. For example, the user can place the styling tool 1 on a table or countertop.
[0062] The clamping component 20 is in an inverted or suspended position, hanging naturally with a small angle between its main axis and the vertical direction, typically within the range of 0°±30°. For example, this is the state when the user hangs the modeler 1 on a stand or holds it in their hand and it is hanging naturally without being operated.
[0063] The functional execution component can be flexibly configured on the gripping part 10 or the clamping assembly 20 according to styling requirements. For example, it can be a fan providing airflow or a heating component outputting heat, with its installation position matching its functional characteristics. For instance, the fan can be located inside the gripping part 10, guiding airflow to the clamping assembly 20 through the airflow channel built into the gripping part 10. The heating component can be located inside the clamping assembly 20, changing the temperature of the airflow exiting the clamping member 21 by heating the clamping surface of the clamping member 21 or heating the airflow entering the air duct of the clamping member 21. The operating state of the functional execution component is controlled by the control module, adjusting its operating power according to the control module's instructions to ensure that the required airflow or heat is precisely applied to the hair area. At least one styling function refers to the functional execution component performing styling functions such as blow-drying, heating, straightening, or curling according to user needs.
[0064] The control module is communicatively connected to the state detection component, the attitude detection component, and the function execution component. The communication connection means that it can be a wired connection or a wireless connection. The control module is used to receive the pose status signal of the attitude detection component, receive the status detection signal of the state detection component, and send control commands to the function execution module to control the function execution module to perform the corresponding function and adjust its operating power when performing the corresponding function.
[0065] During the operation of the modeler 1, while the function execution component is starting and performing the modeling function, the state detection component continuously monitors the working state of the clamping component 20. By sensing the relative position changes of the two clamping parts 21 in real time, it generates a state detection signal to accurately reflect whether the clamping component 20 is in a released or clamped state. The attitude detection component can adopt a real-time monitoring mode or a non-real-time triggering monitoring mode. In the real-time monitoring mode, the attitude detection component can monitor the spatial attitude of the clamping component 20 in real time. By monitoring parameters such as the spatial orientation of the clamping component 20 and the angle with the horizontal plane, it generates a pose state signal to reflect the attitude of the clamping component 20 in real time. In the non-real-time triggering mode, when the clamping component 20 is in a clamped or released state for a duration that has not reached the first preset duration, the attitude detection component can be in a low-power standby state or intermittent low-frequency monitoring. When the control module determines that the clamping component 20 has been in a released state for a duration that has reached or exceeded the first preset duration based on the state detection signal of the state detection component, the control module triggers the attitude detection component to enter a high-frequency monitoring state and generate a pose state signal.
[0066] When the attitude detection component is in real-time monitoring mode, the control module continuously receives the status detection signal and pose signal output by the status detection component. When it detects that the clamping component 20 is in a released state for a duration equal to or exceeding the first preset duration, and the pose signal indicates that the modeler 1 is in a specified pose for a duration equal to or exceeding the second preset duration, the control module sends a control command to the function execution component to reduce operating power or stop operation. The function execution component reduces operating power according to the control command. When the attitude detection component is in a non-real-time monitoring mode requiring triggering, the control module first confirms through the status signal that the clamping component 20 is in a released state for a duration equal to or exceeding the first preset duration, and then controls the attitude detection component to trigger and receives the pose signal generated after triggering. If the pose signal indicates that the modeler 1 is in a specified pose for a duration equal to or exceeding the second preset duration, the control module sends a control command to the function execution component to reduce operating power or stop operation. The function execution component reduces operating power or stops operation according to the control command.
[0067] In other words, the control module needs to determine that the clamping component 20 is in a released state for a duration greater than or equal to a first preset duration, and that the modeler 1 is in a specified pose for a duration greater than or equal to a second preset duration, before controlling the function execution component to reduce its operating power. This avoids misjudgment based on a single condition, such as the clamping component 20 being briefly in a released state or accidentally being in a specified pose, ensuring that power adjustment of the function execution component is triggered only when the clamping component 20 is actually idle.
[0068] In the above embodiments, the first preset duration refers to the duration during which the clamping component 20 is in the released state, which can be set to 1 second to 60 seconds. When the duration of the released state reaches or exceeds this duration, it indicates that the user may have entered an operation gap. The duration of the released state needs to be continuous and uninterrupted, that is, the timer starts from when the clamping component 20 enters the released state. If it does not switch to the clamping state and remains in the released state, the timer is continuously accumulated. If the clamping member 21 closes midway, causing the clamping component 20 to switch to the clamping state, the timer is interrupted and reset. When the continuous duration of the released state reaches or exceeds the first preset duration, it indicates that the user may have entered an operation gap, rather than a temporary adjustment action.
[0069] The second preset duration is a time threshold used to determine the stylist 1's position in a specified pose. It is used to confirm the stability of the stylist 1's posture in the specified pose. When the stylist 1 is in the specified pose for a duration that reaches or exceeds the second preset duration, it indicates that the user has not operated the clamping component 20. Combined with the release state duration, it can be determined that the stylist 1 is in an idle state. The second preset duration can be set from 2 seconds to 60 seconds. The duration of the specified pose needs to be continuous to avoid misjudgment due to temporary deviations in posture caused by brief touches or slight shaking. If the clamping component 20 deviates from the specified pose midway, even if it subsequently returns to the specified pose, the timing must be restarted.
[0070] In the above embodiments, controlling the function execution component of the stylist 1 to reduce its operating power means controlling the function execution component to operate at a power lower than the current operating power, or controlling the function execution component of the stylist 1 to be directly turned off. This depends on the setting time of the first preset time and the second preset time. For example, when the first preset time and the second preset time are set to be long, such as 60 seconds, 120 seconds, 180 seconds, or 300 seconds, the heating component and the fan may be directly turned off. This setting is suitable for scenarios where the user may enter a long-term idle period, such as temporarily placing the device after styling or leaving without turning it off in time. When the first preset time and the second preset time are set to be short, such as the first preset time being 10 seconds to 30 seconds and the second preset time being 5 seconds to 15 seconds, the instruction to reduce the operating power can be to control the function execution component to maintain operation at a state lower than the current operating power. This is suitable for scenarios where the user may briefly pause the operation, such as adjusting the position of hair strands or combing out knotted areas during the styling process.
[0071] According to the embodiments of this application, the sculptor 1 can be controlled by combining the state detection signal of the clamping component 20 and the pose signal of the posture detection component. Only when the clamping component 20 is in the released state for a period of time or longer than a first preset time and the sculptor 1 is in a specified pose for a period of time or longer than a second preset time, the control function execution component is activated to reduce power or stop operation. This significantly reduces the probability of false triggering, ensures the functional stability in special operating scenarios such as flat use, improves the accuracy and reliability of idle detection, and avoids affecting the normal user experience due to misjudgment.
[0072] In some embodiments, the control module is further configured to: operate the function execution component at a second operating power lower than the first operating power before adjustment; and control the function execution component to shut down if the clamping component 20 remains in the released state and the pose state signal determines that the modeler 1 is in a specified pose for a third preset duration.
[0073] During the operation of the functional execution unit at a second operating power lower than the first operating power before adjustment, the control module continuously receives a status detection signal generated by the status detection component indicating the working state of the clamping component 20, and a pose status signal generated by the posture detection component indicating the posture of the clamping component 20. The control module monitors in real time whether the clamping component 20 remains in the released state via the status detection signal, and continuously confirms whether the clamping component 20 is in the specified pose via the pose status signal. When the clamping component 20 remains in the released state and the pose status signal indicates that it has been in the specified pose for a duration that reaches or exceeds a third preset duration, the control module determines that the modeler 1 is in a long-term idle state, and then issues a control command to shut down the functional execution unit.
[0074] When the clamping component 20 remains in the released state and the pose state signal determines that it has been in the specified pose for a duration that reaches or exceeds the third preset duration, that is, the clamping component 20 maintains the specified pose synchronously throughout the entire process of maintaining the released state. The clamping component 20 must meet the dual conditions and the duration of maintenance must reach or exceed the third preset duration, thereby eliminating the possibility of short-term false triggering. For example, it avoids misjudgment in scenarios such as the clamping component 20 being briefly released but the posture is not stable, or the posture is temporarily in the specified pose but the clamping state has changed, thereby accurately confirming that the modeler 1 is indeed in a long-term idle scenario where no operating state needs to be maintained.
[0075] The third preset duration refers to the duration during which the clamping component 20 remains released and in a specified pose while the functional execution component operates at a second operating power (lower than the original first operating power). If the clamping component 20 deviates from the specified pose midway, the timing must restart even if it subsequently returns to the specified pose. Alternatively, if the clamping member 21 closes midway, causing the clamping component 20 to switch to the clamping state, the timing is interrupted and reset. The third preset duration can be 10 seconds to 120 seconds, for example, it can be 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 40 seconds, 50 seconds, 60 seconds, 70 seconds, 80 seconds, 90 seconds, 100 seconds, 110 seconds, and 120 seconds, etc.
[0076] The styling device 1 according to the embodiments of this application not only avoids frequent start-stop cycles caused by directly shutting down during short periods of idleness, but also completely cuts off energy consumption by shutting down the function execution component after confirming long-term idleness, thereby further improving energy-saving effect.
[0077] According to the modeler 1 of this application embodiment, the state detection component includes a magnetic sensitive element and a magnetic element. The magnetic sensitive element and the magnetic element are respectively fixed on two clamping members 21. The magnetic sensitive element outputs different state detection signals to the control module when the clamping component 20 is in the released state and the clamping state.
[0078] The magnetic sensing element and magnetic element of the state detection component are respectively fixed on the two clamping members 21 of the clamping component 20. When the clamping component 20 is in the clamping state, the two clamping members 21 are relatively close, the distance between the magnetic sensing element and the magnetic element is shortened, and the magnetic field effect is enhanced. The magnetic sensing element outputs a state detection signal corresponding to the clamping state. When the clamping component 20 switches to the release state, the two clamping members 21 are relatively separated, the distance between the magnetic sensing element and the magnetic element is increased, and the magnetic field effect is weakened. The magnetic sensing element outputs a state detection signal corresponding to the release state. By receiving and identifying these two different state detection signals, the control module can accurately determine in real time whether the clamping component 20 is currently in the clamping state or the release state.
[0079] The magnetic sensitive element can be a Hall device, a linear Hall sensor, or a switch-type Hall sensor. For example, in the case of a Hall device switch-type Hall sensor, when the clamping component 20 is in the released state, the Hall device outputs a low-level electrical signal, and when the clamping component 20 is in the clamping state, the Hall device outputs a high-level signal.
[0080] Magnetic sensitive elements can also be magnetoresistive elements; or magnetic sensitive diodes; or magnetic sensitive transistors, etc.
[0081] Magnetic components can be neodymium iron boron permanent magnets, ferrite permanent magnets, samarium cobalt permanent magnets, and aluminum nickel cobalt permanent magnets, etc.
[0082] According to the embodiment of this application, the molding device 1 uses a combination of a magnetic sensitive element and a magnetic element to accurately distinguish the clamping and releasing states of the clamping component 20 through changes in the magnetic field. It has high detection sensitivity and is less affected by environmental interference. At the same time, it has a fast response speed and can provide real-time feedback on changes in the clamping state, thus avoiding the problem of false triggering or missed triggering of idle functions caused by state judgment delay.
[0083] According to the embodiment of this application, the pose detection component of the stylist 1 is used to detect at least one of the angle between the stylist 1 and the horizontal plane, the flip angle of the stylist 1, and the spatial orientation of the stylist 1, and generates a pose state signal representing the corresponding pose and sends it to the control module.
[0084] The attitude detection component may include one or more of a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a tilt sensor, and an inertial measurement unit. The attitude detection component may be disposed in the grip 10 and near the connection end between the grip 10 and the clamping component 20, or the attitude detection component may be disposed in a non-working area inside the clamping component 21, for example, in a location away from the air duct.
[0085] The spatial orientation of the modeler 1 refers to the direction of the modeler 1 in three-dimensional space, such as being held vertically, placed horizontally, or tilted. When the modeler 1 is held vertically, the modeler 1 faces up or down; when the modeler 1 is placed horizontally, the clamping member 21 extends along the horizontal plane; when the modeler 1 is tilted, the tilt angle can be a specific angle with the vertical or horizontal direction, etc.
[0086] The angle between the sculptor 1 and the horizontal plane can be the angle between the main axis of the sculptor 1 and the horizontal plane. For example, 0° means that the sculptor 1 is lying flat, 90° means that the sculptor 1 is in a vertical position, and 45° means that the sculptor 1 is in a tilted position, etc.
[0087] The flip angle refers to the rotation state of the modeler 1 around its own main axis, such as different operating postures such as holding it in the front or flipping it to the side.
[0088] The pose status signal can include at least one key piece of information such as the included angle value, the range of flip angles, and spatial orientation, and is sent to the control module to avoid misjudgment based on a single parameter feature. For example, by combining the angle between the modeler 1 and the horizontal plane and the spatial orientation, the control module can accurately distinguish between normal flat use and idle flat placement. By recognizing the flip angle, it can eliminate interference from special grip postures used by the user during operation, enabling the control module to more accurately determine whether the device is in a true idle posture, reducing functional abnormalities caused by posture misjudgment, and enhancing the scene adaptability and reliability of the modeler 1.
[0089] In some embodiments, the clamping component 20 includes a plurality of peripheral surfaces distributed around its circumference. The peripheral surfaces are the main surfaces of the clamping component 20 and extend along the length direction of the clamping component 20. The posture detection component is used to detect the angle between each of the plurality of peripheral surfaces and the horizontal plane, and generate a pose state signal containing multiple angle information and send it to the control module. The control module determines that the modeler 1 is in a specified pose when at least one angle meets a preset angle range.
[0090] The clamping assembly 20 includes multiple sets of outer peripheral surfaces distributed circumferentially around it. Each set of outer peripheral surfaces is divided by the clamping assembly 20 along its own circumference. Each set of outer peripheral surfaces includes both a main working surface or a bearing surface and a transitional connecting surface that defines the contour of the clamping assembly 20. The main working surface or bearing surface is the main surface in contact with the external environment, such as a tabletop, a support, etc., and extends along the length of the clamping assembly 20. For example, when the clamping assembly 20 includes two clamping members 21, the outer peripheral surfaces can contact the tabletop in a natural state when the clamping members 21 are placed on the tabletop.
[0091] When the styling tool 1 is a straightening styling tool 1, the clamping assembly 20 includes two clamping members 21. The clamping assembly 20 has four rectangular outer peripheral surfaces, or when the clamping members 21 are cylindrical, it has an arc-shaped outer peripheral surface. The distribution and shape of the outer peripheral surfaces are directly adapted to the clamping, styling, or placement requirements.
[0092] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 2 The image shows the clamping assembly 20 in a clamping state. Figure 4The image shows the clamping assembly 20 in a released state. In the straightener 1, when the clamping assembly 20 has four rectangular outer peripheral surfaces, namely a first outer peripheral surface 201, a second outer peripheral surface 202, a third outer peripheral surface 203, and a fourth outer peripheral surface 204, and at least one of the outer peripheral surfaces has an angle with the horizontal plane that satisfies a preset angle range, such as 0°±15° and 90°±15°, the stylist 1 is considered to be in a specified pose. That is, the stylist 1 is considered to be in a specified pose when the angle between one outer peripheral surface and the horizontal plane satisfies a preset angle range, or the stylist 1 is considered to be in a specified pose when the angles between multiple outer peripheral surfaces and the horizontal plane satisfy a preset angle range. For example, the angle between the first outer peripheral surface 201 and the horizontal plane is -15°, -14°, -13°, -12°, -11°, -10°, -9°, -8°, -7°, -6°, -5°, -4°, -3°, -2°, -1°, 0°, 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, 6°, 7°, 8°, 9°, 10°, 11°, 12°, 13°, 14°, and 15°, etc. In this case, it is determined that the first outer peripheral surface 201 is placed on the table. Or, when the angle between the first outer peripheral surface 201 and the horizontal plane is 75°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 105°, etc., it is determined that the clamping assembly 20 is against the bracket or wall, and is also in the specified position. The same applies to the second outer peripheral surface 202, the third outer peripheral surface 203, and the fourth outer peripheral surface 204.
[0093] The clamping component 20 has multiple main surfaces distributed circumferentially around its outer periphery. The attitude detection component detects the angle between each outer periphery surface and the horizontal plane in real time and organizes these angle data into a pose state signal containing multiple angle information, which is then sent to the control module. The control module has preset angle ranges corresponding to idle states, such as a horizontal placement angle close to 0° or a specific tilt angle. When the angle between any of the multiple outer periphery surfaces is detected to fall within this preset range, the modeler 1 is determined to be in a specified pose. For example, when the clamping component 20 is placed flat on a table, the angle between the bottom outer periphery surface of the clamping component 20 and the horizontal plane is close to 0°, which meets the preset range; when the clamping component 20 is suspended from a bracket, a certain outer periphery surface on the side of the clamping component 20 forms a tilt angle with the horizontal plane, which may also trigger a determination, ensuring that the pose in different idle scenarios can be distinguished by the control module.
[0094] According to the embodiment of this application, the stylist 1 uses multiple surfaces covering the circumference of the clamping component 20 as detection references to avoid the problem of missed detection caused by the difference in the placement direction of the component when detecting a single surface. This ensures that the clamping component 20 can be accurately identified by the control module through the angle detection of the corresponding outer circumferential surface, regardless of the circumferential angle at which it is idle, such as when it is laid flat, on its side, or suspended. This reduces the risk of misjudgment caused by slight posture deviation, and enables the stylist 1 to still have accurate idle state recognition capability in complex usage scenarios, further improving the reliability of the stylist 1.
[0095] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral surface includes a first set of outer peripheral surfaces and a second set of outer peripheral surfaces. Both the first set of outer peripheral surfaces and the second set of outer peripheral surfaces can stably position the modeler when placed on a horizontal plane. For example, the first set of outer peripheral surfaces includes opposing first outer peripheral surface 201 and third outer peripheral surface 203, and the second set of outer peripheral surfaces includes opposing second outer peripheral surface 202 and fourth outer peripheral surface 204. In this way, the modeler can achieve stable placement on the support surface by virtue of these two sets of outer peripheral surfaces formed by its own shell shape, without relying on additional supports or pads. Furthermore, since the modeler 1 is stably placed according to its own shell shape, the posture detection component can determine whether the modeler 1 is placed on the support surface by detecting the angle of the first set of outer peripheral surfaces and / or the second set of outer peripheral surfaces. Therefore, when it is determined that the angle between at least one outer peripheral surface and the horizontal plane meets a preset angle range, the modeler 1 can be considered to be in a specified pose to match the placement state of the modeler 1 in different scenarios.
[0096] According to the modeler 1 of this application embodiment, the function execution component includes a fan, and the operating power includes the operating power of the fan.
[0097] During fan operation, the control module continuously receives status detection signals generated by the status detection component, indicating the working status of the clamping component 20, and pose status signals generated by the attitude detection component, indicating the attitude of the clamping component 20. If the control module determines, based on the status detection signals, that the clamping component 20 is in a released state for a duration equal to or exceeding a first preset duration, and simultaneously determines, based on the pose status signals, that the modeler 1 is in a specified pose for a duration equal to or exceeding a second preset duration, the control module will adjust the fan to reduce its operating power. If the clamping component 20 remains in the released state and in the specified pose for a duration equal to or exceeding a third preset duration, the control module will further shut down the fan.
[0098] According to the stylist 1 in this application embodiment, the fan can reduce its speed or stop running when idle, avoiding accidental shutdown during operation intervals and ensuring that the user does not need to wait for the stylist 1 to restart when resuming operation, thus balancing energy saving and ease of use.
[0099] In some embodiments, the functional execution component further includes a heating component, at least one clamping member 21 is provided with an air duct, the air duct has an air inlet and an air outlet 22, the air inlet of the air duct is connected to the outlet of the fan, the heating component is configured to cooperate with the air duct, the heating component is used to heat the airflow in the air duct, and the operating power also includes the heating power of the heating component.
[0100] When the fan is running, it drives the airflow to enter the air duct through the air inlet. Inside the air duct, the airflow exchanges heat with the heating components that are installed in conjunction with the air duct. The heating components can heat the airflow and form hot airflow that is blown out of the air duct through the air outlet 22, thereby achieving functions such as drying and shaping.
[0101] The control module continuously receives status detection signals generated by the status detection component, indicating the working state of the clamping component 20, and pose status signals generated by the attitude detection component, indicating the attitude of the clamping component 20. When it detects that the clamping component 20 is in a released state for a duration of a first preset time, and simultaneously in a specified pose for a duration of a second preset time, it determines that the modeler 1 has entered an idle state. The control module then controls the heating component to reduce its heating power from a first operating power to a second operating power, and can also simultaneously adjust the fan operating power. If the clamping component 20 remains in a released state and in a specified pose for a duration of a third preset time, the control module further shuts down the heating function of the heating component, stopping the heating of the airflow in the duct. The fan can also be shut down synchronously with the heating component or maintain low-power standby.
[0102] The clamping component is determined to be in a clamping state based on the state detection signal. The duration of the clamping state is not timed. Even if the clamping state lasts for a period of time or longer than the first preset time, the posture detection component is not activated. Even if the clamping state lasts for a period of time or longer than the first preset time, the pose state signal determines that the modeler is in a specified pose. The duration of the pose state signal is not timed. Even if the clamping state lasts for a period of time or longer than the first preset time, the pose state signal determines that the modeler is in a specified pose for a period of time or longer than the second preset time. The operating power of the function execution component is not changed.
[0103] When the status detection component sends a status detection signal to the control module, it indicates that the user is operating the system. The control module does not start the timer, thus blocking the timer in advance to avoid triggering redundant judgments and reduce the computational load of the control module.
[0104] In some usage scenarios, even if the control module starts the timer when the clamping component is in the clamping state, the attitude detection component will not be activated if the clamping state continues for a period of time or longer than the first preset duration. This ensures that if the timer is accidentally started, even if the first preset duration is reached or exceeded, as long as the status detection signal still indicates that the clamping state is being used, it means that the user is still actively using the modeler 1, and the attitude detection component will not be activated. This avoids a series of subsequent misjudgments caused by accidental activation of the timer. It ensures that as long as the modeler 1 is in the clamping state, even if there is a problem with the timer, the modeler 1 can continue to operate at the current operating power, improving the reliability of product operation and the continuity of user experience.
[0105] In certain usage scenarios, even if the control module starts timing, and the clamping state lasts for a duration equal to or exceeding a first preset duration, the posture detection component will activate, and the pose status signal will indicate that the stylist 1 is in a specified pose. As long as the status detection signal still indicates that the stylist 1 is in a clamping state, it means that the user is still actively using the stylist 1. Therefore, the duration of the pose status signal will not be timed, and the current operating power of the stylist 1 will not be changed. In this way, even if the control module accidentally starts timing for the duration of the clamping state, and this timing reaches or exceeds the first preset duration, and even if the posture detection component is also activated and identifies the stylist 1 as being in a specified pose, the current operating power of the stylist 1 will not be changed. This avoids erroneous interruptions to the operation of the stylist 1 due to signal or program abnormalities, improving the reliability of product operation and the continuity of user experience. Not timing the duration of the pose status signal avoids subsequent triggering of redundant judgments and reduces the computational load of the control module.
[0106] In some usage scenarios, even if the control module starts the timer, and the clamping state continues for a period of time or longer than the first preset time, the posture detection component will start, and the pose status signal will determine that the modeler 1 is in the specified pose. Even if the control module starts the timer, and the pose status signal determines that the modeler is in the specified pose for a period of time or longer than the second preset time, as long as the status detection signal still indicates that it is in the clamping state, it means that the user is still actively using the modeler 1. Therefore, the operating power of the function execution component will not be changed. In this way, even in the case of multiple superimposed misjudgments, the modeler 1 will not be accidentally shut down, avoiding accidental interruption of the modeler 1's operation due to signal or program abnormalities, thus improving the reliability of product operation and the continuity of user experience.
[0107] According to the modeling device 1 of this application embodiment, when the user operates the clamping component 20 in a clamping state, regardless of whether the clamping time reaches or exceeds a first preset time, whether it is in a specified pose, or whether the duration of being in the specified pose reaches or exceeds a second preset time, the operating power of the function execution component remains unchanged. This avoids the function execution component suddenly reducing power or stopping operation due to misjudging that the modeling device 1 is idle, ensuring that the temperature or wind force during the modeling process meets the requirements, guaranteeing the modeling effect, and avoiding sudden interruptions that affect the modeling effect.
[0108] The following examples illustrate the different control logics of the control module:
[0109] For example, the control module receives status detection signals and pose status signals in real time. When the clamping component 20 remains in the released state for a first preset duration and in the specified pose for a second preset duration, the heating component is simultaneously reduced from the first operating power to the second operating power, and the fan operating power is reduced by the same proportion. If the clamping component 20 remains in the released state and in the specified pose for a third preset duration, the heating component and the fan are simultaneously turned off, stopping the hot airflow output and airflow drive.
[0110] For example, the control module receives status detection signals and pose status signals in real time. When the clamping component 20 is in the released state for a first preset duration and the specified pose is in the second preset duration, the heating component is simultaneously reduced from the first operating power to the second operating power, and the fan maintains the current power or is reduced to a stable value slightly lower than the original power. If the clamping component 20 remains in the released state and the duration of the specified pose reaches the third preset duration, the heating component is turned off and the fan is switched to standby power, for example, the fan is made to run at a lower speed to maintain a small amount of ventilation.
[0111] For example, the control module receives status detection signals and pose status signals in real time. When the clamping component 20 is in the released state for a first preset duration and the specified pose is in the second preset duration, the heating component is simultaneously reduced from the first operating power to the second operating power, and the fan maintains the original power to accelerate the dissipation of residual heat. If the clamping component 20 remains in the released state and the duration of the specified pose reaches the third preset duration, the heating component is turned off, and the fan is turned off after a preset time interval. In this way, the fan can be used to accelerate the cooling of the clamping component 21 or the airflow in the duct.
[0112] According to the embodiment of this application, the molding device 1 can reduce the heating power in time when the user pauses operation, avoids the ineffective energy consumption of the heating components, significantly improves energy utilization efficiency, and at the same time reduces the heat accumulation of the air duct and clamping parts 21 when idle, reduces the aging speed of related components due to long-term high temperature, and also reduces the safety hazard of users accidentally touching high-temperature components and causing burns.
[0113] In some embodiments, the control module is further configured to maintain the current operating power of the function execution component unchanged when the clamping component 20 is not in a released state, or the duration of being in a released state does not reach a first preset duration, or the pose state signal determines that the clamping component 20 is not in a specified pose, or the pose state signal determines that the modeler 1 is in a specified pose but the duration does not reach a second preset duration.
[0114] When the clamping component 20 is detected to be in a clamping state, it indicates that the user is performing a modeling operation. Alternatively, if the release state duration does not reach the first preset duration, it indicates that the user is only pausing the operation. Or, if the release state duration of the clamping component 20 reaches the first preset duration but the clamping component 20 is not in the specified pose, it indicates that the user is in a non-idle state. Or, if the release state duration of the clamping component 20 reaches the first preset duration but the modeler 1 is in the specified pose for less than the second preset duration, it indicates that the user is in a gap in the modeling operation. The control module determines that the current power adjustment conditions are not met, thereby maintaining the current operating power of the function execution component unchanged.
[0115] For example, when the control module determines that the clamping component 20 is in a clamping state or the release state duration has not reached the first preset duration through the state detection signal, the current first operating power of the heating component and the current operating power of the fan remain unchanged regardless of the position state.
[0116] For example, if the clamping component 20 is in the released state and the duration reaches the first preset duration, but the position status signal shows that it is not in the specified position, or although it is in the specified position, the duration does not reach the second preset duration, the current first operating power of the heating component and the current operating power of the fan remain unchanged.
[0117] For example, if the clamping component 20 is in the released state but the duration has not reached the first preset duration, even if the posture is in the specified position and the duration has reached the second preset duration, the current first operating power of the heating component and the current operating power of the fan remain unchanged.
[0118] According to the embodiment of this application, the stylist 1 is triggered only in a clearly defined idle scenario. Otherwise, it neither reduces the heating power nor adjusts the operating power of the fan, and will not interrupt the styling process due to misjudgment. This significantly improves the stability and continuity of equipment use, effectively avoids misadjustment during normal use, accurately distinguishes between effective use and true idle state, and ensures the smoothness of user operation experience.
[0119] The control method according to the embodiments of this application is used to control the above-mentioned modeler 1, including:
[0120] Step S10: When the function execution component of the modeler 1 is running, detect whether the clamping component 20 of the modeler 1 is in the released state;
[0121] Step S20: After the clamping component 20 is in the released state and continues for a first preset time, detect the posture of the clamping component 20;
[0122] Step S30: When the modeler 1 is in a specified pose for a preset duration that reaches or exceeds the second preset duration, the function execution component of the modeler 1 is controlled to reduce its operating power.
[0123] In step S10, the control module monitors the working state of the clamping component 20 in real time through the state detection component and continuously determines whether the clamping component 20 is in the release state. During the detection process, the state detection component will output the corresponding state detection signal according to the opening and closing state of the clamping component 20 (e.g., outputting a low level in the release state and a high level in the clamping state). The control module identifies the current working state of the clamping component 20 through the state detection signal. If the clamping component 20 is in the clamping state, it means that the user is using the modeler 1 to perform modeling, so the current running state is maintained. If the release state is detected, the subsequent duration timing and posture detection are started.
[0124] In step S20, the clamping component 20 is activated only after it has been in a released state for a period of time or longer than a first preset duration. Spatial attitude information of the clamping component 20 is collected, including its angle with the horizontal plane, flip angle, and spatial orientation. This information is then converted into a pose state signal containing specific attitude parameters and sent to the control module. This method reduces unnecessary energy consumption for attitude detection and is suitable for scenarios where user operation is slow. For example, if the clamping component 20 has been in a released state for less than the first preset duration, the attitude detection component is not activated.
[0125] Alternatively, the attitude detection component and the state detection component can operate synchronously. The state detection component can determine in real time whether the clamping component 20 is in the released state and start timing. At the same time, the attitude detection component can continuously collect attitude information and generate a pose state signal to send to the control module. However, if the release state has not reached the first preset time, the control module will not process the attitude detection data included in the pose state signal. Only when the release time reaches the target will the attitude information corresponding to the synchronously collected pose state signal be immediately called for analysis. This is suitable for scenarios where users frequently switch clamping states and can improve response speed.
[0126] In step S30, when the pose status signal determines that the clamping component 20 is in a preset specified pose, and the duration of the specified pose reaches or exceeds the second preset duration, the control module determines that the clamping component 20 is in an idle state, and then issues an instruction to the function execution component to reduce the operating power, so as to avoid power drop due to short-term placement or misoperation, thereby reducing the ineffective energy consumption during the idle period and ensuring that the device can quickly return to the working power when the user resumes use, thus taking into account both energy saving and ease of use.
[0127] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, controlling the function execution component of the styling device 1 to reduce its operating power includes controlling the function execution component to operate at a power lower than the current operating power, or directly shutting it off. This depends on the setting time of the first preset duration and the second preset duration. For example, when the first preset duration and the second preset duration are set to be relatively long, such as 60 seconds, 120 seconds, 180 seconds, or 300 seconds, the operating power of the function execution component can be directly controlled to be reduced to 0, that is, the heating component and the fan can be turned off. This setting is suitable for scenarios where the user may enter a long-term idle period, such as temporarily placing the device after styling or leaving without turning it off in time. When the first preset duration and the second preset duration are set to be relatively short, such as the first preset duration being 10 seconds to 30 seconds and the second preset duration being 5 seconds to 15 seconds, the instruction to reduce the operating power can be to control the function execution component to maintain operation at a state lower than the current operating power. This is suitable for scenarios where the user may briefly pause the operation, such as adjusting the position of hair strands or combing out knotted areas during the styling process.
[0128] According to the control method of this application, step S30 includes:
[0129] Step S31: The control function execution unit operates at a second operating power that is different from the first operating power before adjustment;
[0130] Step S32: If the clamping component 20 remains in the released state and the pose status signal indicates that the modeler 1 is in the specified pose and this continues for a third preset time, the control function execution component is turned off.
[0131] In step S31, the control module controls the function execution component to switch the current first operating power to a preset second operating power, and the second operating power is always lower than the first operating power. For the heating component, the second operating power may be set to maintain the basic insulation temperature to avoid complete cooling and subsequent restart requiring preheating. For the fan, the second operating power can be adjusted to a low-speed airflow state, which can maintain slight airflow circulation in the duct to dissipate residual heat and reduce energy consumption.
[0132] In step S32, when the control module detects that the clamping component 20 continues to be in the released state after step S31, and the pose status signal always indicates that it is in the specified pose, and the duration reaches the third preset duration, the control module sends a shutdown command to the function execution component. For the heating component, its power supply will be cut off to stop heating; for the fan, the drive motor will be stopped to terminate airflow. Reactivation requires active user operation, balancing the energy-saving needs of long-term idle periods with equipment safety.
[0133] In some embodiments, the control method further includes: when the function execution component is running at a second operating power, if it is detected that the clamping component 20 has switched from a released state to a clamping state, then controlling the function execution component to run at a first operating power.
[0134] When the functional execution component is running at the second operating power, the control module continuously receives real-time signals from the status detection component. When it detects that the clamping component 20 has switched from the released state to the clamping state, it indicates that the user has started clamping the hair. The control module then sends a power recovery command to the functional execution component, causing it to resume operation at the first operating power. When the functional execution component is a heating component and a fan, the control module raises the temperature of the heating component from a lower temperature to the operating temperature of the first operating power, while simultaneously switching the fan from low-speed operation back to high-speed operation, ensuring that the heat output intensity and temperature quickly recover to the level required for styling.
[0135] According to the control method of this application embodiment, when the user restarts operation from an idle state, there is no need to wait for the device to warm up or manually adjust the power. The automatic power recovery triggered by the state switch significantly shortens the operation interval time and improves the smoothness of use.
[0136] The control method according to the embodiments of this application further includes: maintaining the current operating power of the function execution component unchanged when the clamping component 20 is not in the released state, or the duration of being in the released state does not reach the first preset duration, or the pose state signal determines that the clamping component 20 is not in the specified pose, or the pose state signal determines that the modeler 1 is in the specified pose but the duration does not reach the second preset duration.
[0137] When the clamping component 20 is detected to be in a clamping state, it indicates that the user is performing a modeling operation. Alternatively, if the release state duration does not reach the first preset duration, it indicates that the user is only pausing the operation. Or, if the release state duration of the clamping component 20 reaches the first preset duration but the clamping component 20 is not in the specified pose, it indicates that the user is in a non-idle state. Or, if the release state duration of the clamping component 20 reaches the first preset duration but the modeler 1 is in the specified pose for less than the second preset duration, it indicates that the user is in a gap in the modeling operation. The control module determines that the current power adjustment conditions are not met, thereby maintaining the current operating power of the function execution component unchanged.
[0138] For example, when the control module determines that the clamping component 20 is in a clamping state or the release state duration has not reached the first preset duration through the state detection signal, the current first operating power of the heating component and the current operating power of the fan remain unchanged regardless of the position state.
[0139] For example, if the clamping component 20 is in the released state and the duration reaches the first preset duration, but the position status signal shows that it is not in the specified position, or although it is in the specified position, the duration does not reach the second preset duration, the current first operating power of the heating component and the current operating power of the fan remain unchanged.
[0140] For example, if the clamping component 20 is in the released state but the duration has not reached the first preset duration, even if the posture is in the specified position and the duration has reached the second preset duration, the current first operating power of the heating component and the current operating power of the fan remain unchanged.
[0141] The control method according to the embodiments of this application is triggered only in a clearly defined idle scenario; otherwise, it neither reduces the heating power nor adjusts the operating power of the fan, and will not interrupt the modeling process due to misjudgment. This significantly improves the stability and continuity of equipment use, effectively avoids misadjustment during normal use, accurately distinguishes between effective use and true idle state, and ensures the smoothness of user operation experience.
[0142] In some embodiments, the control method further includes not timing the duration of the clamping state when the clamping component 20 is in the clamping state.
[0143] Even if the clamping state continues for a period of time or longer than the first preset duration, the posture of the modeler 1 is not detected.
[0144] Even if the clamping state lasts for a period of time or longer than the first preset duration, and the modeler 1 is detected to be in a specified pose, the duration of the modeler 1 being in the specified pose is not timed.
[0145] Even if the clamping state continues for a period of time or longer than the first preset duration, or the modeler 1 is in a specified position for a period of time or longer than the second preset duration, the operating power of the function execution component will not be changed.
[0146] When the status detection signal determines that the clamping component 20 is in a clamping state, the control module does not start the timing function for the duration of the clamping state, thereby avoiding subsequent judgment triggers in the initial stage. If the duration of the clamping state reaches or exceeds the first preset duration, even if the duration condition of the conventional posture detection has been met, the control module still does not start the posture detection component of the stylist 1 and does not collect the posture information of the stylist 1. In extreme cases, if the clamping state continues for longer than the first preset duration and the posture detection component is accidentally started, or even if the posture detection component detects that the stylist 1 is in a specified pose, the control module still does not start the timing for the duration of the specified pose. Even if the clamping state of the clamping component 20 continues for longer than the first preset duration, and the posture detection component detects that the stylist 1 is in a specified pose and the duration reaches or exceeds the second preset duration, the control module still takes the status detection signal determining that the clamping component 20 is in a clamping state as the standard, and does not send instructions to the functional execution components (such as heating components, fans) to change the operating power, and still maintains the current operating state of the functional execution components.
[0147] According to the control method of this application embodiment, when the user operates the clamping component 20 in the clamping state, regardless of whether the clamping time meets the standard, whether the posture detection component detects that the modeler 1 is in the specified posture and whether the specified posture time meets the standard, the operating power of the function execution component is not changed, so as to avoid misoperation due to misjudgment that the modeler 1 is idle, ensure that the temperature or wind force in the modeling process meets the requirements, guarantee the modeling effect, avoid accidental interruption, and improve the reliability of product operation.
