[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the module connection of the sterilization device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The sterilization device 1 is applied to an air-conditioning device, and the air-conditioning device includes an air-conditioning main body 31 and an air-conditioning panel 33; the air-conditioning panel 33 is arranged on the air inlet side of the air-conditioning main body 31, and the air-conditioning panel 33 covers the air-conditioning main body 31 or is away from the air-conditioning main body 31; the sterilization device 1 includes a panel opening and closing detection component 11, a control chip 13 and a sterilization module 15; the panel opening and closing detection component 11 is connected to the control chip 13; the control chip 13 is connected to the sterilization module 15; wherein, the sterilization module 15 is arranged inside the air-conditioning main body 31.
[0021] When the air-conditioning panel 33 covers the air-conditioning main body 31, the panel opening and closing detection component 11 outputs a first signal to the control chip 13; the control chip 13 receives the first signal and drives the sterilization module 15 to perform sterilization work.
[0022] When the air-conditioning panel 33 is away from the air-conditioning main body 31, the panel opening and closing detection component 11 outputs a second signal to the control chip 13, and the control chip 13 receives the second signal and drives the sterilization module 15 to stop sterilization work.
[0023] When the panel opening and closing detection component 11 is damaged, the panel opening and closing detection component 11 outputs a third signal to the control chip 13, and the control chip 13 receives the third signal and drives the sterilization module 15 to stop sterilization work.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 , the panel opening and closing detection component 11 includes at least one magnetic sensor 111 and at least one magnetic component 113.
[0025] The magnetic component 113 is disposed on the air conditioner body 31, and the magnetic sensor 111 is disposed on the air conditioner panel 33; alternatively, the magnetic sensor 111 is disposed on the air conditioner body 31; the magnetic component 113 is disposed on the air conditioner panel 33.
[0026] When the panel opening and closing detection component 11 is working properly, the magnetic sensor 111 can normally sense the approach and departure of the magnetic component 113, and thus output a first signal and a second signal to the control chip 13. Specifically, when the air conditioner panel 33 covers the air conditioner body 31, each of the magnetic components 113 approaches each of the magnetic sensors 111, and each of the magnetic sensors 111 outputs a first signal to the control chip 13; when the air conditioner panel 33 is away from the air conditioner body 31, each of the magnetic components 113 departs from each of the magnetic sensors 111, and each of the magnetic sensors 111 outputs a second signal to the control chip 13.
[0027] When the panel opening and closing detection component 11 is damaged, the magnetic sensor 111 cannot normally sense the approach and departure of the magnetic component 113. At this time, the panel opening and closing detection component 11 only outputs a third signal to the control chip 13. Specifically, when the magnetic sensor 111 is damaged, the magnetic sensor 111 cannot normally sense the approach and departure of the magnetic component 113. At this time, the magnetic sensor 111 outputs a third signal to the control chip 13.
[0028] For example, the magnetic sensor 111 is a Hall sensor; the magnetic component 113 is a magnet. Specifically, the model of the Hall sensor can be AS1890A, and the magnet can be a permanent magnet.
[0029] The control chip 13 can be a single-chip microcomputer independently used to control the sterilization module 15, or a single-chip microcomputer used to control the air conditioner device and the sterilization module 15, such as a single-chip microcomputer of model STM32F091V. The disinfection module can be an ultraviolet lamp.
[0030] To improve the security of the control chip 13, the control chip 13 can be disposed inside the air conditioner body 31.
[0031] In this embodiment, the panel opening / closing detection component 11 of the present utility model is connected to the control chip 13, and the control chip 13 is connected to the sterilization module 15. When the air conditioner panel 33 covers the air conditioner body 31, the panel opening / closing detection component 11 outputs a first signal to the control chip 13; the control chip 13 receives the first signal and drives the sterilization module 15 to perform sterilization work; when the air conditioner panel 33 is away from the air conditioner body 31, the panel opening / closing detection component 11 outputs a second signal to the control chip 13, and the control chip 13 receives the second signal and drives the sterilization module 15 to stop sterilization work. Therefore, even if the air conditioner panel 33 of the air conditioner device is opened during the sterilization work of the sterilization module 15, the panel opening / closing detection component 11 can output a second signal to the control chip 13 to make the sterilization module 15 stop sterilization work, which can prevent users from being harmed by the sterilization module 15 when opening the air conditioner panel 33 and enable the sterilization module 15 to safely and effectively kill bacteria in the air conditioner device.
[0032] In a feasible embodiment, a sensor failure reminder module is further included; the sensor failure reminder module is connected to the control chip;
[0033] The control chip receives a third signal output by the magnetic sensor and drives the sensor failure reminder module to issue a failure reminder.
[0034] The control chip 13 receives the third signal output by the magnetic sensor 111, the control chip 13 drives the sterilization module 15 to stop sterilization work, and drives the sensor failure reminder module to issue a failure reminder.
[0035] The third signal is an electrical signal used to indicate the failure of the magnetic sensor 111. Among them, the first signal and the second signal are electrical signals corresponding to different voltage ranges, and the third signal is an electrical signal outside the voltage ranges corresponding to the first signal and the second signal. Therefore, the control chip 13 can judge whether it corresponds to the first signal, the second signal or the third signal according to the voltage value of the electrical signal output by the magnetic sensor 111, and judge the positional relationship between the air conditioner panel 33 and the air conditioner body 31 and whether the magnetic sensor 111 fails.
[0036] The sensor failure reminder module can be a lighting module or a communication module. Among them, if the sensor failure reminder module is a lighting module, when the third signal output by the magnetic sensor 111, the control chip 13 drives the sensor failure reminder module to light up to prompt the user that the magnetic sensor 111 fails; if the sensor failure reminder module is a lighting module that displays at least two colors, when the first signal or the second signal is output by the magnetic sensor 111, the control chip 13 drives the sensor failure reminder module to light up the first color light to prompt the user that the magnetic sensor 111 is effective; when the third signal is output by the magnetic sensor 111, the control chip 13 drives the sensor failure reminder module to light up the second color light to prompt the user that the magnetic sensor 111 fails. If the sensor failure reminder module is a communication module, when the first signal or the second signal is output by the magnetic sensor 111, the control chip 13 drives the sensor failure reminder module to send a first notification, and when the third signal is output by the magnetic sensor 111, the control chip 13 drives the sensor failure reminder module to send a second notification, so as to remind the user whether the magnetic sensor 111 fails through the communication device that receives the signal sent by the sensor failure reminder module.
[0037] In this embodiment, the sensor failure reminder module can accurately remind the user whether the magnetic sensor 111 fails.
[0038] In a feasible embodiment, the air conditioner body 31 is provided with a movable connection part, and the air conditioner panel 33 is movably connected to the air conditioner body 31 through the movable connection part.
[0039] When the magnetic component 113 is arranged on the air conditioner body 31 and the magnetic sensor 111 is arranged on the air conditioner panel 33, the magnetic component 113 is arranged at one end of the air conditioner body 31 away from the movable connection part; the magnetic sensor 111 is arranged at one end of the air conditioner panel 33 away from the movable connection part.
[0040] When the magnetic sensor 111 is arranged on the air conditioner body 31 and the magnetic component 113 is arranged on the air conditioner panel 33, the magnetic sensor 111 is arranged at one end of the air conditioner body 31 away from the movable connection part; the magnetic component 113 is arranged at one end of the air conditioner panel 33 away from the movable connection part.
[0041] Among them, the movable connection part can be a shaft connection part, enabling the air conditioner panel 33 to rotate around the movable connection part as the axis, so as to realize the covering or separation of the air conditioner panel 33 from the air conditioner body 31. The magnetic component 113 is arranged at one end of the air conditioner body 31 away from the movable connection part, and the magnetic sensor 111 is arranged at one end of the air conditioner panel 33 away from the movable connection part. Or the magnetic component 113 is arranged at one end of the air conditioner panel 33 away from the movable connection part, and the magnetic sensor 111 is arranged at one end of the air conditioner body 31 away from the movable connection part, which can make the magnetic component 113 and the magnetic sensor 111 away from the movable connection part, that is, the magnetic component 113 and the magnetic sensor 111 are away from the axis. When the air conditioner panel 33 rotates around the movable connection part as the axis, it can more significantly affect the positional relationship between the magnetic component 113 and the magnetic sensor 111. The magnetic sensor 111 can correspondingly send a first signal or a second signal to the control chip 13 according to whether it detects the magnetic field of the magnetic component 113, so that the control chip 13 can judge the positional relationship between the air conditioner panel 33 and the air conditioner body 31. In summary, through the limitation of the setting positions of the magnetic component 113 and the magnetic sensor 111, the panel opening and closing detection component 11 can more significantly and accurately detect the situations such as the air conditioner panel 33 covering the air conditioner body 31 or the air conditioner panel 33 being away from the air conditioner body 31.
[0042] In this embodiment, the detection accuracy of the panel opening and closing detection component 11 can be improved by restricting the setting positions of the magnetic component 113 and the magnetic sensor 111.
[0043] In a feasible embodiment, an evaporator 311 is provided in the air conditioner body 31, and the sterilization device 1 further includes a mounting bracket; the mounting bracket is erected corresponding to the evaporator 311; the sterilization module 15 is arranged on the mounting bracket.
[0044] In this actual example, the mounting bracket is erected corresponding to the evaporator 311, and the sterilization module 15 is arranged on the mounting bracket, which can prevent the sterilization module 15 from directly contacting the evaporator 311 and affecting each other, and can improve the working safety of the evaporator 311 and the sterilization module 15.
[0045] In a feasible embodiment, the sterilization device 1 further includes an indicator light module, the indicator light module is arranged on the air conditioner panel 33, the indicator light module is connected to the control chip 13, the control chip 13 receives the first signal, and the control chip 13 drives the indicator light module to light up.
[0046] In this embodiment, for safety reasons, the sterilization module 15 can only be arranged inside the air conditioner body 31 and can be started to perform sterilization work only when the air conditioner panel 33 covers the air conditioner body 31. Therefore, generally, users cannot directly check whether the sterilization module 15 is performing sterilization work. By means of the indicator light module arranged on the air conditioner panel 33, information indicating whether the sterilization module 15 is performing sterilization work can be safely prompted to the users.

[0049] When the air conditioner panel 33 covers the air conditioner body 31, the panel opening / closing detection component 11 outputs a first signal to the control chip; the control chip receives the first signal and drives the sterilization module 15 to perform sterilization work;
[0050] When the air conditioner panel 33 is away from the air conditioner body 31, the panel opening / closing detection component 11 outputs a second signal to the control chip, and the control chip receives the second signal and drives the sterilization module 15 to stop sterilization work.
[0051] Wherein, the panel opening / closing detection component 11 includes at least one magnetic sensor and at least one magnetic component;
[0052] The magnetic component is arranged on the air conditioner body 31, and the magnetic sensor is arranged on the air conditioner panel 33; or, the magnetic sensor is arranged on the air conditioner body 31; the magnetic component is arranged on the air conditioner panel 33;
