[0027] The technical solutions in this application will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more than two.
[0028] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the heating device provided in an embodiment of this application. The heating device 001 includes a housing assembly, an air outlet 11, a fan assembly 21, and a heating element 31. The fan assembly 21, the heating element 31, and the control assembly are disposed inside the housing assembly of the heating device, and the air outlet 11 is disposed on the side wall of the housing assembly. Figure 1 The housing assembly of the heating device 001 shown may include six sidewalls. The first sidewall where the first air outlet 111 is located and the second sidewall where the second air outlet 112 is located can be determined according to actual needs. The first sidewall is the front side of the housing assembly of the heating device, and the second sidewall is the top side of the housing assembly of the heating device. A first baffle 13 and a second baffle 14, which can be flexibly adjusted, are installed at the first air outlet and the second air outlet, respectively. By controlling the opening of the first baffle 13 and the second baffle 14, the amount of warm air delivered from the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 can be controlled. It is understood that the housing structure of the heating device 001 is not limited to... Figure 1 The structure shown can be customized according to actual needs. The heating element 31 can be an electric heating wire heating element, a metal heating element, or a ceramic heating element. The metal heating element has the advantages of fast heating speed, high thermal effect, and can usually maintain a high working temperature for a long time. Therefore, in this embodiment, the heating element 31 is preferably a metal heating element. The first partition 13 and the second partition 14 can be a rotating grid and an adjustable flat plate, respectively.
[0030] Specifically, the control component is connected to the fan assembly 21, the heating element 31, the wind speed sensor, the first partition 13, and the second partition 14, respectively. The control component obtains the wind speed parameters of the air outlet of the heating device through the wind speed sensor. There can be two wind speed sensors, installed at the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112, respectively, to collect the first wind speed value at the first air outlet 111 and the second wind speed value at the second air outlet 112, and then determine the larger wind speed value between the first wind speed value and the second wind speed value as the wind speed parameter of the heating device.
[0031] Optionally, the heating device may also include a position sensor, thereby obtaining the relative distance between the heating device and the user. The position sensor can be installed on the front side of the heating device's housing assembly, directly acquiring the relative distance between the heating device and the user, avoiding interference from other components, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the relative distance acquired by the position sensor.
[0032] Optionally, the heating device may also include a camera device that captures images to obtain a first relative distance between itself and the user.
[0033] The heating element 31 can be disposed between the fan assembly 21 and the air inlet 12. In another embodiment, the fan assembly 21 can also be disposed between the heating element 31 and the air inlet 12. The air inlet 12 is used to deliver indoor air into the heater, where it is heated by the heating element 31, which provides heat energy. The fan assembly 21 is used to discharge the heat energy provided by the heating element 31 through the air outlet 11 (including the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112). The fan assembly 21 is a cross-flow fan, and the air inlet 12 is an elongated shape adapted to the cross-flow fan. Other types of fans, such as a DC fan, can also be selected for the fan assembly 21.
[0034] The heating device 001 may also include physical control buttons, a touch screen, etc. The start-up, temperature adjustment and other control logic of the heating device 001 can be controlled through the physical control buttons or the virtual buttons on the touch screen.
[0035] The heating device 001 may also include a network module, which can provide wireless network services or wired network services, such as wireless local area networks (WLAN), local area networks (LAN), cellular networks, 2G networks, 3G networks, 4G networks, 5G networks, etc. When the network module is connected to the network, users can control the heating device to turn it on, off, or adjust the temperature using devices such as mobile phones and tablets, thereby achieving remote control of the heating device 001.
[0036] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the heating device shown is merely an example. The schematic diagram of the heating device described in this application is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of this application embodiment and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided in this application embodiment. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of heating devices, the technical solution provided in this application embodiment is also applicable to similar technical problems.
[0037] Please see Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a heating device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S101-S103.
[0038] S101, acquire the first relative distance between the heating device and the user, and the wind speed parameters of the heating device detected by the wind speed sensor;
[0039] Specifically, the first relative distance is the distance between the heating equipment and the user; the wind speed parameter is the wind speed at the air outlet of the heating equipment, which represents the speed and intensity of the airflow generated at the air outlet of the heating equipment during operation.
[0040] In one embodiment, if the heating device obtains the first relative distance between itself and the user through a position sensor, the first relative distance can be obtained directly from the distance value collected by the position sensor.
[0041] In another embodiment, if the heating device obtains the first relative distance between itself and the user through the imaging device, it can capture an image containing the user and the heating device through the imaging device, and then input the image into a pre-trained distance determination model. The first relative distance is obtained based on the output of the distance determination model. The distance determination model can also be YOLOv5.
[0042] It is understood that the heating device in this application includes a first air outlet located on the front side of the housing assembly of the heating device. The closer the user is to the first air outlet, the stronger the intensity and speed of the warm air output from the first air outlet. In order to avoid the warm air delivered from the first air outlet causing discomfort, optionally, in the embodiments of this application, if there are multiple users in the space where the heating device is located, the distance value of the user closest to the heating device is used as the first relative distance.
[0043] S102, determine the first opening parameter of the first partition and the second opening parameter of the second partition based on the first relative distance and wind speed parameters;
[0044] In one embodiment, after obtaining the first relative distance between the heating device and the user, and the wind speed parameters of the heating device's air outlet, a first opening parameter of the first partition and a second opening parameter of the second partition are determined based on the first relative distance and wind speed parameters. The first opening parameter represents the required opening degree of the first partition, and the second opening parameter represents the required opening degree of the second partition. It can be understood that a larger first and second opening parameter indicates a greater required opening degree for the first and second partitions, resulting in a higher flow rate of warm air delivered from the first and second air outlets.
[0045] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first opening parameter of the first partition and the second opening parameter of the second partition corresponding to the first relative distance and wind speed parameter can be pre-stored. After the first relative distance between the heating device and the user and the wind speed parameter are collected in real time, the first opening parameter and the second opening parameter corresponding to the collected first relative distance and wind speed parameter can be determined according to the pre-stored correspondence.
[0046] S103, control the first partition based on the first opening parameter, and control the second partition based on the second opening parameter.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first opening parameter covers the range of all possible opening values of the first partition from a fully closed state to a fully open state. It describes the opening state of the first partition during adjustment, from an initial tightly closed position (i.e., the first opening parameter is 0%) to the maximum opening degree (i.e., the first opening parameter is 100%). For example, in this embodiment, if the first opening parameter is 100%, the first partition can be controlled to open to the maximum extent; if the first opening parameter is 0%, the first partition is closed. The second opening parameter is similar and will not be described further here.
[0048] In this embodiment, the opening degree of the baffles corresponding to the air outlets in different directions of the housing assembly of the heating device is adjusted by the first relative distance between the heating device and the user and the wind speed parameter of the heating device, so that the warm flow output from different air outlets meets the user's needs and improves the user's comfort when using the heating device.
[0049] Please see Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a heating device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S201-S204.
[0050] S201, acquire the first relative distance between the heating device and the user, and the wind speed parameters of the heating device detected by the wind speed sensor;
[0051] Specifically, please refer to the description of step S101 in the above embodiment of the specification, which will not be repeated here.
[0052] S202, Determine the ratio parameter of the first relative distance to the wind speed parameter;
[0053] S203, determine the first opening parameter of the first partition and the second opening parameter of the second partition based on the ratio parameter;
[0054] In one embodiment, after obtaining the wind speed parameter and the first relative distance, a ratio parameter between the first relative distance and the first wind speed parameter is determined, and then a first opening parameter of the first partition and a second opening parameter of the second partition are determined based on the ratio parameter.
[0055] Specifically, the ratio parameter is the comparison result of the first relative distance and the wind speed parameter. In order to maintain data consistency, the same unit system should be used when comparing the two data, wind speed parameter and first relative distance. For example, when the unit of wind speed parameter is meters per second, the unit of first relative distance is meters; or when the unit of wind speed parameter is centimeters per second, the unit of first relative distance is centimeters.
[0056] It is understood that the ratio parameter is the result of comparing the first relative distance and the first wind speed parameter. When the first wind speed parameter is the same, the smaller the first relative distance, the smaller the ratio parameter. That is, in this embodiment of the application, when the operating speed of the fan assembly of the heating equipment is not changed, the distance between the user and the heating equipment can be determined by the size of the ratio parameter, thereby determining the first opening parameter of the first partition and the second opening parameter of the second partition, and controlling the heating flow of the first air outlet and the second air outlet.
[0057] Firstly, when the ratio parameter is determined to be within the first ratio range, the first opening parameter of the first partition is determined as the first opening threshold, the second opening parameter of the second partition is determined as the second opening threshold, and the first opening threshold is greater than the second opening threshold. The first ratio range can be (0, 0.5], the first opening threshold can be 100%, and the second opening threshold can be 0%.
[0058] For example, if the first relative distance is 30cm and the wind speed parameter is 100cm / s, the ratio parameter is 0.3, which is within the first ratio range. Then, the first opening parameter of the first partition is determined to be 100%, and the second opening parameter of the second partition is determined to be 0%, that is, the second partition is closed.
[0059] Understandably, when the first ratio coefficient is in the first ratio range, the ratio coefficient is smaller, and the first distance between the user and the heating device is smaller, which means that the user needs to use the heating device to warm the body area. The first opening parameter of the first partition is set to 100%, and the second opening parameter of the second partition is set to 0%, that is, the first partition is fully opened and the second partition is fully closed. The warm air heated by the heating element is output to the user's surroundings through the first air outlet to increase the temperature of the area where the user is located.
[0060] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of a heating air delivery method according to an embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, the first air outlet located at the front of the housing assembly of the heating device is specifically positioned at a low point on the front side. The heating air output from the first air outlet is controlled to be output from a low point, which can heat the user's leg area. While avoiding the heating air blowing directly onto the user's head, it utilizes the principle that heating air flows from low to high due to thermal buoyancy, so that after heating the legs, the heating air can gradually rise and warm the entire body, thereby achieving a more uniform and comfortable heating experience.
[0061] Secondly, when the ratio parameter is in the second ratio range, it means that the distance between the user and the heating device is moderate. The heating device can obtain the indoor temperature parameters of the space where the heating device is located collected by the temperature sensor, and determine the first opening parameter of the first partition and the second opening parameter of the second partition based on the indoor temperature parameters. The second ratio range can be (0.5, 1.5). The temperature sensor can be installed at the air inlet 114 of the heating device.
[0062] Specifically, after acquiring the indoor temperature parameters, the heating equipment determines the temperature range within which the indoor temperature parameters fall, and then determines the first opening parameter of the first partition and the second opening parameter of the second partition based on the temperature range. Please refer to the table below:
[0063] Temperature range First opening parameter Second opening parameter ≤7℃ 100% 50% 7℃<T≤13℃ 100% 100% 13℃<T≤18℃ 50% 100%
[0064] Where T is the indoor temperature parameter.
[0065] For example, if the first relative distance is 60cm and the wind speed parameter is 100cm / s, the ratio parameter is 0.6, which is within the second ratio range. Then, the indoor temperature parameter is obtained. If the indoor temperature parameter is determined to be 6℃, the first opening parameter of the first partition is determined to be 100%, and the second opening parameter of the second partition is determined to be 50%. If the indoor temperature parameter is determined to be 10℃, the first opening parameter of the first partition is determined to be 100%, and the second opening parameter of the second partition is determined to be 100%. If the indoor temperature parameter is determined to be 15℃, the first opening parameter of the first partition is determined to be 50%, and the second opening parameter of the second partition is determined to be 100%.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of a heating airflow provided in an embodiment of this application. It is understood that when the first relative distance between the user and the heating device is within a second ratio range, the heating device cannot determine the user's needs. Therefore, it determines the first opening parameter of the first partition and the second opening parameter of the second partition based on the indoor temperature parameter. Specifically, the lower the indoor temperature parameter, the larger the first opening parameter of the first partition and the smaller the second opening parameter of the second partition are determined. This results in a larger flow of warm air delivered from the air outlet located at the front of the heating device, which can raise the temperature of the user's area. Conversely, when the indoor temperature parameter is high, the smaller the first opening parameter of the first partition and the larger the second opening parameter of the second partition are determined. This avoids delivering a large amount of warm air through the air outlet located at the front of the heating device when the indoor temperature is high, which could cause a rapid increase in temperature in localized areas and lead to user discomfort. Furthermore, by increasing the amount of warm air delivered from the second air outlet, the temperature of the entire indoor area can be raised more evenly.
[0067] Third, when the ratio parameter is within the third ratio range, the first opening parameter of the first partition is determined as the third opening threshold, the second opening parameter of the second partition is determined as the fourth opening threshold, and the third opening threshold is less than the fourth opening threshold. The third ratio range can be (1.5, +∞), the third opening threshold can be 0%, and the fourth opening threshold can be 100%.
[0068] For example, if the first relative distance is 160cm and the wind speed parameter is 100cm / s, the ratio parameter is 1.6, which is in the third ratio range. Then, the first opening parameter of the first partition is determined to be 0%, that is, the first partition is closed, and the second opening parameter of the second partition is determined to be 100%.
[0069] Understandably, when the ratio parameter is in the third ratio range, the first relative distance between the user and the heating equipment is much greater than the wind speed parameter, indicating a relatively large distance between the user and the heating equipment. Therefore, the user's need is determined to be a comprehensive heating requirement. Under this comprehensive heating requirement, the first opening parameter is set as the third opening threshold, and the second opening parameter as the fourth opening threshold. This controls the delivery of warm air from the second air outlet located above the heating equipment's casing, comprehensively increasing the indoor temperature and meeting the user's overall heating needs. The first ratio range is smaller than the second ratio range, and the second ratio range is smaller than the third ratio range. Please refer to [reference needed] for the direction of warm air flow. Figure 6 As shown.
[0070] S204, control the first partition based on the first opening parameter, and control the second partition based on the second opening parameter.
[0071] In this embodiment, by determining the first opening parameter of the first partition and the second opening parameter of the second partition within the ratio range of the ratio parameter of the first relative distance to the wind speed parameter, the opening parameter of the partition can be determined based on the distance between the user and the heating equipment and the actual air velocity of the heating equipment. This improves the accuracy of the partition opening parameter determination, thereby ensuring that the flow rate of warm air delivered from the air outlet meets the user's actual needs. When the ratio parameter is within the third ratio range, the opening parameter of the partition is determined based on the indoor temperature. This allows for adjustment of the partition opening parameter based on the indoor temperature when the user's heating needs cannot be determined by the ratio parameter. This ensures that the air outlet temperature of each air outlet matches the indoor temperature parameter, preventing excessively high local temperatures and improving the user's comfort when using the heating equipment.
[0072] Please see Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a heating device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S301-S303.
[0073] S301, acquire the indoor temperature parameters of the space where the heating device is located, collected by the temperature sensor;
[0074] In this embodiment of the application, the heating device also includes a temperature sensor, which can be installed at the air inlet 12 of the heating device.
[0075] Optionally, indoor temperature sensors can also be installed in the indoor space. Multiple temperature sensors can be installed in different areas of the indoor space. In this embodiment, the indoor temperature parameter of the space where the heating device is located can be determined by averaging multiple temperature values collected by multiple temperature sensors. Determining the indoor temperature parameter by averaging multiple temperature values collected by multiple temperature sensors avoids random errors and improves the accuracy of the obtained indoor temperature parameter.
[0076] S302, if the indoor temperature parameter is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, then execute the steps of obtaining the first relative distance between the heating device and the user, and the wind speed parameter of the heating device detected by the wind speed sensor.
[0077] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when it is determined that the obtained indoor temperature parameter is less than the temperature threshold, it is determined that the current indoor temperature parameter is low. In order to ensure that the warm air flow of each air outlet meets the user's needs, it is necessary to further obtain the first relative distance between the user and the heating device, and the air outlet parameter to determine the opening parameter of the partition of each air outlet. The temperature threshold is the temperature value used to determine whether the partition opening needs to be determined by the first relative distance and wind speed parameter, which can be 18°C.
[0078] S303, if the indoor temperature parameter is greater than the temperature threshold, then the first opening parameter of the first partition is determined to be the fifth opening threshold, and the second opening parameter of the second partition is determined to be the sixth opening threshold, and the fifth opening threshold is less than the sixth opening threshold.
[0079] Specifically, when the indoor temperature parameter is determined to be greater than the temperature threshold, the current indoor temperature is determined to be high. The first opening parameter of the first partition is controlled to be the fifth opening threshold, and the second opening parameter of the second partition is controlled to be the sixth opening threshold. The fifth opening threshold can be 0%, and the sixth opening threshold can be 100%. That is, when the indoor temperature is high, the heating is controlled to flow out from the second air outlet to evenly increase the overall temperature of the indoor space.
[0080] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the heating element of the heating device operates with a first power parameter, and the fan assembly rotates with a first speed parameter, wherein the first power parameter is the maximum operating power of the heating element and the first speed parameter is the maximum operating speed of the fan assembly.
[0081] In this embodiment of the application, in order to improve the heating efficiency of the heating equipment, the fan assembly of the heating equipment can be controlled to operate at the maximum operating speed, and the heating element of the heating equipment can be controlled to operate at the maximum operating power.
[0082] It is understandable that when the fan assembly of a heating device is running at its maximum speed and the heating element is running at its maximum power, the air velocity parameters at the air outlet and the heating temperature are high, which can cause users to feel scorched. Therefore, in this embodiment of the application, when the heating device controls the fan assembly and heating element to run at their maximum operating parameters to quickly increase the indoor temperature, the flow rate of heating air delivered to different air outlets can be accurately controlled by determining the first opening parameter of the first partition and the second opening parameter of the second partition, thereby improving the user experience when the heating device quickly increases the indoor temperature.
[0083] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the application, after obtaining the first relative distance between the heating device and the user through the position sensor, if it is determined that the first relative distance is less than the distance threshold, it is determined that the current distance between the user and the heating device is too close. In order to avoid the user being scalded or uncomfortable by the high temperature of the heating, the heating element can be controlled to operate with a second power parameter, wherein the first power parameter is greater than the second power parameter. By reducing the operating power of the heating element, the temperature of the heating at the air outlet is reduced, thus preventing the user from being scalded.
[0084] In this embodiment, the first opening parameter of the first partition and the second opening parameter of the second partition are determined by obtaining indoor temperature parameters and temperature thresholds. The opening parameters of the partitions are determined based on real-time indoor temperature, which improves the accuracy of determining the opening parameters of the partitions.
[0085] Furthermore, the heating device also includes an opening selection interface, which is located on the housing assembly of the heating device and connected to the control assembly. The control assembly can obtain the third opening parameter of the first partition and the fourth opening parameter of the second partition through the opening selection interface, and then control the first partition based on the third opening parameter and control the second partition based on the fourth opening parameter.
[0086] The opening selection interface is used to obtain the third opening parameter of the first partition and the fourth opening parameter of the second partition.
[0087] In one embodiment, the opening selection interface is a partition adjustment module on a touch screen.
