Brief Description of the Drawings

For the sake of clarity, not every component is labeled in each figure. Now, embodiments of various aspects of the present utility model will be described by way of example and with reference to the drawings, wherein:

[0026] Figure 1 is a circuit structure diagram of the electric blanket capable of realizing automatic control according to this embodiment. Detailed Description of the Embodiments

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the described embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model. Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meanings as understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present utility model pertains.

[0029] Existing electric blankets still adopt the traditional button control method. In actual applications, electric blankets using this type of control method often cause safety accidents due to the fact that the electric blanket is not turned off when people leave. Especially when the electric blanket is locally folded, since the abnormal temperature rise in the folded area cannot be timely detected and controlled, safety accidents are more likely to occur in such cases. This also leads to the fact that electric blankets are not recommended for use in places such as schools. Based on this, this embodiment aims to provide an electric blanket that can achieve automatic control to improve the above technical defects.

[0030] The following further specifically introduces the electric blanket capable of achieving automatic control disclosed in the present utility model in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, the electric blanket is composed of a main body, a control part and a sensing part. Among them, both the control part and the sensing part are cooperated with the main body to realize the on-off control of the electric blanket.

[0032] Specifically, the main body sequentially includes: a heating wire, a thermistor layer and a copper wire.

[0033] The control part includes: a signal receiver, an MCU main chip, a first integrated operational amplifier, a second integrated operational amplifier, a first bidirectional thyristor and a second bidirectional thyristor; the signal receiver is communicatively connected to the MCU main chip, the first integrated operational amplifier is electrically connected to the heating wire and then connected to the MCU main chip, the second integrated operational amplifier is electrically connected to the copper wire and then connected to the MCU main chip, the first bidirectional thyristor is communicatively connected to the MCU main chip and electrically connected to the heating wire, and the second bidirectional thyristor is communicatively connected to the MCU main chip and electrically connected to the copper wire.

[0034] The sensing part includes: a storage bin, a millimeter-wave radar, a signal transmitter and a mounting mechanism; both the millimeter-wave radar and the signal transmitter are placed in the storage bin, the millimeter-wave radar is communicatively connected to the signal transmitter, and the signal transmitter is wirelessly communicatively connected to the signal receiver; the mounting mechanism includes a first mounting member and a second mounting member, and the first mounting member and the second mounting member are movably cooperated so that the first mounting member has the freedom to rotate around the second mounting member; the first mounting member is also fixedly connected to the storage bin

[0035] In specific implementation, the millimeter-wave radar uses electromagnetic waves to detect and sense whether there are people on the main body, and converts the sensed information into high and low level signals or pulse signals and then transmits them to the signal transmitter. Subsequently, the signal receiver transmits the received signal to the main MCU chip and controls the main body to achieve automatic switch control of the electric blanket associated with whether there are people using it. Specifically, during the temperature adjustment process, the first integrated operational amplifier obtains the current temperature of the heating wire, compares it with the corresponding reference temperature, and then inputs it to the main MCU chip. Furthermore, the temperature of the heating wire is adjusted through the first triac. The second integrated operational amplifier obtains the monitored temperature of the NTC, compares it with the corresponding reference temperature, and then inputs it to the main MCU chip, thereby achieving closed-loop temperature adjustment control.

[0036] Specifically, the first triac and the second triac are connected in series. The first free end of the first triac is electrically connected to both the copper wire and the heating wire. The first free end of the second triac is grounded. The second free end of the first triac and the second free end of the second triac are connected to the main MCU chip through the same pin.

[0037] Meanwhile, in the installation mechanism of the sensing part, it is set to include the first mounting part and the second mounting part. The first mounting part and the second mounting part are movably matched so that the first mounting part has the freedom to rotate around the second mounting part. The first mounting part is also fixedly connected to the storage bin. Furthermore, the detection area of the millimeter-wave radar can be adjusted, so that it can always accurately detect whether there are people on the electric blanket. At this time, the electric blanket based on this embodiment can effectively ensure safety during use and can be safely used even in places such as schools.

[0038] In this embodiment, as a specific implementation manner, one end of the first mounting part is set as a spherical structure, and the first of the second mounting part is set as a concave arc structure. The spherical structure and the concave arc structure are movably matched with each other. Preferably, in order to fix the angle after the angle adjustment, a buffer layer is coated on the spherical surface of the spherical structure and the concave surface of the concave arc structure; wherein, the buffer layer can undergo elastic deformation. At this time, the fixed angle can be achieved through the extrusion deformation of the buffer layer, and no additional fixing structure needs to be installed.

[0039] As a specific implementation manner, the signal receiver is an infrared signal receiver, and the signal transmitter is an infrared transmitter.

[0040] As another specific implementation manner, the signal receiver is a Bluetooth signal receiver, and the signal transmitter is a Bluetooth signal transmitter.

[0041] To ensure that the person on the electric blanket can be accurately detected to avoid accidental turning on or off, from the perspective of millimeter-wave radar, it is specified that the detection angle range of the selected millimeter-wave radar is not less than 90 degrees, and the detection length range is not more than 6 m. At this time, the detection angle range and the detection length range correspond to the size of the beds on the market, and thus it can be ensured that people are always effectively detected.

Specifically, the first mounting member includes a spare end, and the spare end of the first mounting member is a block structure; the control part includes a housing, and a card slot is provided in the housing; the spare end of the first mounting member is in snap-fit with the card slot. At this time, the induction part can be fixed in the housing of the control part through this snap-fit.

[0043] As another specific implementation manner, the induction part and the control part can also be independently arranged. At this time, the first mounting member includes a spare surface, and an adhesive layer is attached to the spare surface. The induction part can be fixed at the target position through the adhesive layer. During specific implementation, generally the induction part is fixed on the head of the bed.

[0044] To facilitate an intuitive view of whether the on / off control of the electric blanket is achieved, it is provided that the control part further includes a plurality of signal lights, and the signal lights are all connected to the MCU main chip. During specific implementation, if the signal lights are lit, it indicates that the electric blanket is in the on state; on the contrary, if the signal lights are extinguished, it indicates that the electric blanket is in the off state.

[0045] At the same time, a separate push-button switch is also provided on the induction part, and a push-button switch is still reserved on the control part. At this time, when the user is at home for a long time, the user can independently choose whether to use this type of automatic control method.

[0046] Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present utility model pertains can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to what is defined by the claims.
