[0021] The embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2As shown in the figure, an intelligent control outdoor heater of the present application includes a burner head 1 for generating heat, a support rod 2 located below the burner head 1 and supporting the burner head 1, and a base 3 located at the bottom of the heater and fixing the support rod 2. The heater is also provided with a gas valve, an ignition assembly, a firing tray, a gas pipe, and a gas cylinder. The gas pipe transports the gas in the gas cylinder to the firing tray, and the ignition assembly ignites the gas coming out of the firing tray. The gas valve is connected to the gas pipe, so that the gas valve can control the size of the gas volume and can also control the opening and closing of the gas to control the closing, opening, and size of the flame of the burner head 1. The ignition assembly is used for igniting the heater to start and ignite the heater.

[0023] The gas valve, the ignition assembly, and the firing tray are located on the burner head 1. The support rod 2 is a hollow cylinder with openings at both ends. The gas cylinder is located inside the base 3. The gas pipe starts from the base 3 and is connected to the gas cylinder. The gas pipe passes through the inside of the support rod 2 and finally connects to the firing tray. At the same time, the support rod 2 can also protect the gas pipe and reduce the phenomenon of gas leakage caused by damage to the gas pipe.

[0024] The gas valve is located on the pipeline of the gas pipe and is used to control the gas flow rate. The gas valve can be inside the burner head 1, the support rod 2, or the base 3. In the embodiment of the present application, the gas valve is located inside the burner head 1. The gas valve includes a mechanical control module and a sensing control module, and both the mechanical control module and the sensing control module can control the size of the gas flow rate in the gas pipe. The gas valve of the present application is a manual and electric control composite valve, which can be manually opened, closed, and adjusted in size through the mechanical control module, and can also be electrically opened, closed, and adjusted in size through the sensing control module. It can be understood that the ignition assembly and the gas valve are the same. The ignition assembly can be mechanically controlled to ignite or electrically controlled to ignite. The control principle and achieved effects applicable to the gas valve in the present application can all be applied to the ignition assembly.

[0025] The heater further includes a sensor module 4. The sensor module 4 is electrically connected or in electrical connection with the gas valve, and the sensor module 4 is electrically connected or in electrical connection with the ignition assembly. The electrical connection includes but is not limited to magnetic signals, optical signals, etc. That is, the opening, closing, and adjustment of the gas flow rate of the gas valve can be controlled through the sensor module 4, and the opening of the ignition assembly can be controlled. The sensor module 4 is electrically connected to the sensing control module, that is, the sensor module 4 converts the received information or signal into an electrical signal or an electromagnetic signal and sends it to the sensing control module to control the gas valve through the sensing control module.

[0026] Specifically, the sensor module 4 includes an infrared trigger sensor, a millimeter-wave sensor, an infrared detection sensor, and a distance sensor. The infrared trigger sensor, the millimeter-wave sensor, and the infrared detection sensor all have the distance sensor for auxiliary detection. The infrared trigger sensor, the millimeter-wave sensor, the infrared detection sensor, and the distance sensor can be integrated into one sensor module 4. Of course, they can also be separately arranged for the infrared trigger sensor, the millimeter-wave sensor, the infrared detection sensor, and the distance sensor. At the same time, both the infrared trigger sensor and the millimeter-wave sensor are electrically connected or electrically coupled to the ignition assembly.

[0027] The infrared trigger sensor is used to detect the wavelength of infrared rays. If it detects a wavelength that conforms to the infrared rays emitted by the human body (such as 7 microns to 13 microns) or the wavelength set by the sensor (such as 3 microns to 50 microns), the signal of the infrared trigger sensor is a positive signal. That is, after the infrared trigger sensor detects an object, a human body, or an animal at a specified temperature, it activates the positive signal of the infrared trigger sensor; the millimeter-wave sensor is used to detect a moving object or a human body or an animal with a heartbeat and breathing. When the human body moves into the millimeter-wave detection range, it activates the positive signal of the millimeter-wave sensor. Since the millimeter-wave sensor can detect signals such as breathing and heartbeat, when the user is always within the signal range of the millimeter-wave sensor, the millimeter-wave sensor is always in a positive signal state. When the positive signals of both the infrared trigger sensor and the millimeter-wave sensor are triggered simultaneously, the gas valve opens, and the heater is started through the ignition assembly; when the infrared trigger sensor is in a negative signal or the millimeter-wave sensor is in a negative signal, the gas valve closes, and the heater shuts down. For example, when the user leaves the detection range of the infrared trigger sensor and the millimeter-wave sensor, the detection range radius of the infrared trigger sensor and the millimeter-wave sensor in this application is between 0 and 5 meters.

[0028] The infrared detection sensor is used to detect the skin temperature of the user or the ambient temperature. For example, if the infrared detection sensor detects that the ambient temperature at the location of the user is lower than 16 degrees, the infrared detection sensor sends a control signal to the gas valve to increase the gas delivery volume, so as to increase the flame of the burner 1 and improve the heating power of the heater; when the infrared detection sensor detects that the ambient temperature at the location of the user is higher than 22 degrees, the infrared detection sensor sends a control signal to the gas valve to reduce the gas delivery volume, so as to reduce the flame of the burner 1 and lower the heating power of the heater; when the infrared detection sensor detects that the ambient temperature at the location of the user is between 16 degrees and 22 degrees, the existing gas delivery is maintained to maintain the existing heating power of the burner 1. It can be understood that the ambient detection of the infrared detection sensor is only for the ambient temperature within 5 meters around the heater. In the embodiment of this application, the infrared detection sensor detects the temperature of specific objects such as the air, the user's clothes, and furniture surfaces such as sofas within 3 meters.

[0029] The sensor module 4 is located in the middle or at the top of the base 3, or on the support rod 2. Specifically, the sensor module 4 is located on the top wall of the base 3; at the chamfer between the top wall and the side wall; or in the upper middle part of the side wall. And at least three sets of sensor modules 4 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the base 3 to achieve detection around the base 3 for 360 degrees. The sensor module 4 is more than 40 cm above the ground, such as between 40 cm and 200 cm. In this embodiment, it is 80 cm. The direction of the sensor module 4 is 45 degrees upward, so that the sensor can detect above the plane where the sensor module 4 is located and does not detect below the plane where the sensor module 4 is located. With such a setting, false detection of pets such as cats and dogs is reduced, that is, when a cat or dog is near the heater, the heater remains in the off state.

[0030] In some other embodiments, the distance sensor is directly electrically connected to the gas valve, so that the distance sensor can directly control the size of the gas valve. The distance sensor is used to detect the distance between the user and the heater. After the heater is turned on, the distance sensor controls the size of the gas delivery volume through the gas valve, thereby controlling the size of the flame.

[0031] The gas valve has multiple gears from large to small according to the gas volume, and the distance sensor also has multiple gears from far to near. The gears of the gas valve correspond one by one to the gears of the distance sensor, and the large gas volume gear of the gas valve corresponds to the far gear of the distance sensor, and the small gas volume gear of the gas valve corresponds to the near gear of the distance sensor. In short, the closer to the heater, the smaller the flame; the farther from the heater, the larger the flame.

[0032] Specifically, the gas valve controls the gas to have the first gear, the second gear, the third gear and the fourth gear, and the flame gradually becomes smaller from the first gear to the fourth gear. When the distance sensor detects that the user is within the range of 5 m to 4 m, the gas valve controls the gas to be in the first gear; when the distance sensor detects that the user is within the range of 4 m to 3 m, the gas valve controls the gas to be in the second gear; when the distance sensor detects that the user is within the range of 2 m to 1 m, the gas valve controls the gas to be in the third gear; when the distance sensor detects that the user is within 1 m, the gas valve controls the gas to be in the fourth gear. It can be understood that the gears and distances can be adjusted according to the product requirements.

[0033] In some other embodiments, there is a delay module between the infrared trigger sensor and the millimeter wave sensor and the electrical connection of the gas valve, so that when the infrared trigger sensor and the millimeter wave sensor are triggered, the gas valve responds with a delay.

[0034] Specifically, when the positive signals of the infrared trigger sensor and the millimeter-wave sensor are activated, the gas valve is set to be delayed in opening. For example, when the positive signals of the infrared trigger sensor and the millimeter-wave sensor are activated, the gas valve of the air hole ignites after a delay of 8 seconds to turn on the heater. If the detection target is lost within 8 seconds, the ignition is cancelled. Such a setting can prevent the heater from igniting when an animal or a person quickly passes by the heater, further reducing the possibility of the heater being misfired. It can be understood that the delay time of the delay module can be set independently, such as 4 seconds, 5 seconds, 6 seconds, 7 seconds, 9 seconds, 10 seconds, 12 seconds, etc.
