Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this specification. For example, in the following description, forming a second component above a first component may include an embodiment in which the first component and the second component are formed in direct contact, and may also include an embodiment in which the first component and the second component are formed in non-direct contact (that is, additional components may be included between the first component and the second component), etc.

[0041] Moreover, for ease of description, some embodiments of this specification may use spatially relative terms such as "above", "below", "top", "below", etc. to describe the relationship between one element or component and another (or other) elements or components as shown in the drawings of the embodiments. It should be understood that in addition to the orientations described in the drawings, the spatially relative terms are also intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the drawings is turned over, the elements or components described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or components will then be positioned "above" or "on" the other elements or components.

[0042] The embodiments of this specification relate to home local interconnection technology for home appliances, and provide a local interconnected home appliance system to enable users to customize home appliance interconnection scenarios locally, meet users' diverse home appliance interconnection needs, and take into account data privacy and data security of diverse home appliance interconnection. Figure 1As shown, the local interconnected household appliance system in some embodiments of the present specification may include a plurality of household appliances 10, a linkage mode configurator 20 and a central controller 30. The plurality of household appliances 10, the linkage mode configurator 20 and the central controller 30 are all arranged locally in the home; the linkage mode configurator 20 is used to configure the linkage mode of at least two household appliances 10 among the plurality of household appliances 10; the central controller 30 is connected to the linkage mode configurator 20 through a local home network communication, and is connected to the plurality of household appliances 10 through a local home network communication, so as to form a home local network, and enable at least two household appliances 10 among the plurality of household appliances 10 to run the linkage mode in the home local network.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present specification, a user can customize any linkage mode of any combination of multiple home appliances 10 through the linkage mode configurator 20, and provide the configured linkage mode to the central controller 30 through the home local network, so that the central controller 30 controls the above-mentioned arbitrary combination of home appliances to run the linkage mode in the home local network, thereby realizing local on-demand customization of home appliance interconnection scenes by users and meeting the diverse home appliance interconnection needs of different users. In addition, since the customized home appliance interconnection scenes and the operation of the customized home appliance interconnection scenes are both implemented locally, the data privacy and data security of the diverse home appliance interconnections are also taken into account.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present specification, household appliances 10 mainly refer to various electrical appliances and electronic appliances used in home places, such as range hoods, gas stoves, water purifiers, water heaters (such as gas water heaters, electric water heaters, etc.), dishwashers, steamers, fresh air air conditioners, exhaust fans, combustible gas detectors, air quality detectors, etc. Among them, the steamer not only includes a steamer dedicated to steaming ingredients, but also includes a steam oven that has the function of steaming and baking ingredients. The exhaust fan not only includes an exhaust fan dedicated to exhaust, but also includes multifunctional equipment such as a bathroom heater that also has an exhaust function. In some embodiments of the present specification, in actual implementation, the user can use part or all of all the household appliances 10 installed in the home as part of the local interconnected household appliance system as needed.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present specification, the central controller 30 is the network center and control center of the home local network, which can not only realize the home local network networking control of multiple home appliances 10 and the linkage mode configurator 20, but also control at least two of the multiple home appliances 10 to run the corresponding linkage mode in the established home local network. In some embodiments of the present specification, the central controller 30 can be, for example, a smart home controller.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present specification, the linkage mode configurator 20 can be integrated on one or more of the plurality of household appliances 10; in this scenario, the linkage mode configurator 20 can be a control screen of a specific part of the household appliances 10 in the home local network, or each control screen of the plurality of household appliances 10 can be the linkage mode configurator 20; in this way, by integrating the linkage mode configurator 20 on the household appliance 10, the control screen of the household appliance 10 can be reused, thereby reducing the implementation cost of the local interconnected household appliance system. Moreover, when each control screen of the plurality of household appliances 10 can be the linkage mode configurator 20, any of the control screens can be used to configure the linkage mode, and the user can operate nearby no matter where in the home, thereby facilitating the user and improving the user experience.

[0047] In other embodiments of the present specification, the linkage mode configurator 20 can be separately set from the multiple household appliances 10, that is, the linkage mode configurator 20 can be a separate device independent of the multiple household appliances 10; in this way, the electrical structure decoupling of the household appliances 10 and the linkage mode configurator 20 can be achieved, thereby reducing the impact of the failure of either the household appliance 10 or the linkage mode configurator 20 on the other; not only that, the linkage mode configurator 20 set separately is also convenient for inspection and maintenance. In addition, compared with the separate setting of the household appliances 10, the linkage mode configurator 20 can also improve the portability of the linkage mode configurator 20, which is more conducive to user operation.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present specification, the linkage mode configurator 20 can specifically be: a central control screen that is communicatively connected to the central controller 30, and / or, a sub-room control screen distributed in the home bedroom, and / or, a range hood control screen located in the home kitchen space, etc.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present specification, the linkage mode configurator 20 is used to select at least two household appliances 10 from the multiple household appliances 10 as a linkage appliance group according to the configuration operation, and configure at least one or a combination of the following for the household appliances 10 in the linkage appliance group: appliance startup sequence, appliance operating parameters, appliance operating mode, and appliance shutdown sequence.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present specification, the linkage modes configured by the linkage mode configurator 20 may include some or all of the kitchen linkage mode, purification linkage mode, waking up linkage mode, sleeping linkage mode, leaving home linkage mode, and returning home linkage mode.

[0051] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the central controller 30 can also be connected to the cloud 40 for communication. Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the linkage mode configurator 20 has a cloud operation unit 21, and the cloud operation unit 21 is used to send the linkage mode to be uploaded to the cloud 40 through the central controller 30. In some embodiments of the present specification, the cloud operation unit 21 can be a data sending unit or a data transmission unit that executes the linkage mode transmission.

[0052] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, in other embodiments of the present specification, the cloud operation unit 21 may include a cloud switch 211 and a linkage mode upload unit 212. The cloud switch 211 is used to activate the linkage mode upload unit 212. When the cloud switch 211 is in the on state, the linkage mode upload unit 212 can respond to the user's operation to send the linkage mode to be uploaded (such as the linkage mode to be uploaded to the cloud selected by the user) to the cloud 40 through the central controller 30; when the cloud switch 211 is in the off state, the linkage mode upload unit 212 does not respond to the user's operation and cannot send the linkage mode to be uploaded to the cloud (the function of the cloud operation unit 21 uploading the linkage mode to the cloud 40 is disabled); in this way, the cloud control of the linkage mode can also be realized to prevent the linkage mode from being misoperated on the cloud. In other embodiments of the present specification, the linkage mode upload unit 212 and the cloud switch 211 can also be combined into one. For example, in some embodiments, the user can upload the linkage mode by double-clicking the cloud operation unit 21.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present specification, the linkage mode configurator 20 may include a portable control screen that is communicatively connected to the central controller 30. For example, in combination with Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the linkage mode configurator 20 may include a portable central control screen 50 (a detachable central control screen) and a base 60. The portable central control screen 50 has a battery module 51, and the battery module 51 is used to power the portable central control screen 50. The base 60 has an inclined support portion 61, and the support portion 61 is used to support the portable central control screen 50; the base 60 also has a power supply portion 62, and the power supply portion 62 is used to supply power to the battery module 51 of the portable central control screen 50; when the portable central control screen 50 is placed on the base 60, the battery module 51 is electrically connected to the power supply portion 62, and the power supply portion 62 starts to supply power to the battery module 51. In some embodiments of the present specification, the base 60 may be L-shaped, and the support portion 61 is located at the upper part of the power supply portion 62; in this way, when the portable central control screen 50 is set on the base 60, it is convenient for users to operate or view the portable central control screen 50. Reference Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the central controller 30 may have a wireless communication module, and the central control screen as the linkage mode configurator 20 may have a wireless communication module, and the wireless communication module of the linkage mode configurator 20 is used to communicate with the wireless communication module of the central controller 30, thereby realizing the wireless communication connection between the central controller 30 and the linkage mode configurator 20. For the above-mentioned portable central control screen 50, this wireless communication connection is particularly suitable.

[0054] In other embodiments of the present specification, the linkage mode configurator 20 may also be a fixed control panel, and the linkage mode configurator 20 may include a fixed central controller that is communicatively connected to the central controller 30, and the fixed central controller is used to be set on a wall (for example, a wall in a home); by using a fixed central controller as the linkage mode configurator 20, the performance stability of the linkage mode configurator 20 is better and the implementation cost is lower.

[0055] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the central controller 30 may have a wireless communication module and a wired communication module, the linkage mode configurator 20 may have a wireless communication module, and the plurality of household appliances 10 may have a wireless communication module and a wired communication module; the wireless communication module of the central controller 30 is respectively connected to the wireless communication module of the linkage mode configurator 20 and the wireless communication module of each household appliance 10; the wired communication module of the central controller 30 is respectively connected to the wired communication module of each household appliance 10. In this way, the local dual-link on-demand communication connection between the central controller 30 and the household appliances 10 can be realized, thereby improving the communication reliability of the local communication connection between the central controller 30 and the linkage mode configurator 20 and the household appliances 10. For example, when the wireless communication link fails, the central controller 30 can also be used to convert the wireless communication data sent by the linkage mode configurator 20 into wired communication data; and send the wired communication data to the household appliances 10 through the wired communication link.
