[0002] Although air conditioners are widely used to regulate temperature and humidity, they are not suitable for situations requiring ventilation, especially in large factory environments. Common household appliances that can regulate temperature and humidity, such as fans, heaters, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers, rely solely on button controls, have low levels of intelligence, cannot automatically switch on and off according to changes in ambient temperature and humidity, and are not energy-efficient.

[0003] Utility model patent CN213016885U discloses a humidity-sensing intelligent cooling fan. This fan has a temperature and humidity sensing module, a micro control unit, and a wind speed adjustment module installed inside the fan head, intelligently adjusting the wind speed based on the sensed ambient temperature and humidity. However, installing the temperature and humidity sensing module inside the fan head only senses the temperature and humidity near the fan head, limiting the sensing range; furthermore, the fan only provides a cooling effect, not an increase in ambient temperature or humidity; additionally, each fan requires temperature and humidity parameter settings, making operation cumbersome.

Each Type-C data cable can be connected to an environmental control appliance. The working signal output by the controller can be transmitted to multiple environmental control appliances through the Type-C interfaces and Type-C data cables, thereby controlling the operation of multiple environmental control appliances at the same time.

[0007] Furthermore, the input interface is a touch screen, which allows users to set power on / off conditions and corresponding temperature and humidity parameters by touching the input interface with their fingers.

[0008] Furthermore, the controller is equipped with a display interface, and the input interface has a display window located at the corresponding display interface position of the controller.

[0019] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of an intelligent temperature and humidity control device.

[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the intelligent temperature and humidity control device of this utility model includes a base 1 and a housing 2, both made of plastic. The base 1 has a through hole 101 on its edge, which is an inverted frustum shape with a larger top surface and a smaller bottom surface. A screw can pass through the through hole 101 to fix the intelligent temperature and humidity control device to a wall or other object surface. The larger top surface can accommodate the screw head, preventing it from protruding and affecting aesthetics. The base 1 also has a groove 102, which can accommodate a hook or other protruding rod-like object, allowing the intelligent temperature and humidity control device to be suspended from the protruding rod. The base 1 also has positioning holes 103 for positioning the connection between the housing 2 and the base 1. In this embodiment, the base 1 is rectangular, and the positioning holes 103 are respectively located at the four corners of the rectangle. Injection-molded inserts are provided at the positions corresponding to the positioning holes 103 on the housing 2. By passing a screw through the positioning hole 103 and rotating it into the injection-molded insert on the housing 2, the housing 2 can be fixedly connected to the base 1 without interfering with other parts inside the housing.

[0021] The housing 2 is a cuboid with a cavity. A USB-A interface 4 and a Type-C interface 5 are provided on the side of the housing 2. Multiple Type-C interfaces 5 can be provided; in this embodiment, three Type-C interfaces 5 are provided. A USB-A data cable 7 is externally connected to the USB-A interface 4. The other end of the USB-A data cable 7 is connected to a temperature and humidity probe 8. The temperature and humidity probe 8 can detect the ambient temperature and humidity and convert them into signals for transmission via the USB-A data cable 7. A Type-C data cable 9 can be connected to the Type-C interface 5. The Type-C data cable 9 includes both a data transmission line and a power line. The other end of the Type-C data cable 9 is connected to the drive circuit of an environmental control appliance 10. The environmental control appliance 10 can be any one or more of the following with temperature and humidity control functions: a humidifier, dehumidifier, electric fan, or heater. Figure 5The image shown is of a conventional electric fan. The environmental control appliance 10 is only used to demonstrate the usage of this utility model and is not within the scope of this utility model's intelligent temperature and humidity control device.

[0022] The pins of USB-A interface 4 and TYPE-C interface 5 are soldered to the controller 6. Temperature and humidity signals detected by the temperature and humidity probe 8 can be transmitted to the controller 6 via USB-A data cable 7 and USB-A interface 4. When the environmental control appliance 10 is powered on, the power lead of TYPE-C data cable 9 can supply the controller 6 with the low-voltage DC power output from the drive circuit on the environmental control appliance 10. The operating signals generated by the controller 6 can be transmitted to the environmental control appliance 10 via the data transmission lines of TYPE-C interface 5 and TYPE-C data cable 9. In this embodiment, three TYPE-C interfaces 5 are provided, allowing the controller 6 to simultaneously transmit the generated operating signals to the environmental control appliance 10 connected to all three TYPE-C interfaces 5.

[0023] The controller 6 is a PCB board fixed inside the housing. It has connection holes; screws are passed through these holes to secure the controller 6 inside the housing 2. The controller 6 is equipped with LEDs for illumination. It also features a display interface and an information processor. The display interface shows the temperature and humidity data detected by the temperature and humidity probe 8.

[0024] An input interface 3 is provided on the outside of the housing 2, and is fixedly connected to the housing 2. The input interface 3 is also electrically connected to the controller 6. The input interface 3 can be a touch screen interface or a button input, etc., and in this embodiment, a touch screen interface is preferred. The input interface 3 has a setting area for conditions such as temperature, humidity, and time, where working conditions and temperature and humidity parameters can be input. The working conditions input on the input interface 3 can be displayed on the display interface of the controller 6. The input interface 3 has a display window at the position corresponding to the display interface of the controller 6, displaying the information on the display interface of the controller 6. Through the display window, one can see the information displayed on the display interface of the controller 6, namely the temperature and humidity data detected by the temperature and humidity probe 8 and the working conditions input on the input interface 3.

[0025] The temperature and humidity signals detected by the temperature and humidity probe 8 can be transmitted to the controller 6 via the USB-A data cable 7 and the USB-A interface 4. After being converted into temperature and humidity values ​​by the information processor on the controller 6, they are displayed on the display interface on the controller 6. The information processor can convert the temperature into one of °C and °F according to the instructions.

[0026] The operating conditions of the environmental control appliance 10 can be set on the input interface 3. The controller 6 receives the operating conditions set on the input interface 3. If the operating condition is to turn the environmental control appliance 10 on or off, the controller 6 generates an execution signal through the information processor. This signal is transmitted to the microprocessor of the drive circuit of the environmental control appliance 10 through the TYPE C interface 5 and the TYPE C data line 9 for signal conversion. The environmental control appliance 10 then executes the converted signal. If the operating condition is to limit the on-time, the information processor on the controller 6 also directly generates an execution signal output.

[0027] If the working conditions are set to a certain temperature or humidity range, when the environmental control appliance 10 is turned on, the information processor on the controller 6 will compare the ambient temperature and humidity signal detected by the temperature and humidity probe 8 with the working conditions to see if they meet the working conditions. If they do, a working signal to turn on the environmental control appliance 10 will be generated; if they do not, a working signal to turn off the environmental control appliance 10 will be generated.

[0028] This intelligent temperature and humidity control device has three operating modes: normal on / off mode, timed on / off mode, and set temperature and humidity on / off mode.

[0029] The normal operation mode of this intelligent temperature and humidity control device is as follows: Connect the intelligent temperature and humidity control device to the environmental conditioning appliance 10, and turn on the power to the environmental conditioning appliance 10. The intelligent temperature and humidity control device is in the normal on / off mode by default. You can input the power-on, power-off and fan speed adjustment commands through the input interface 3. After receiving the command, the controller 6 directly generates the working signal output through the information processor on the controller 6, and transmits it to the microprocessor of the environmental conditioning appliance 10 through the TYPE C interface 5 and the TYPE C data cable 9. The microprocessor of the environmental conditioning appliance 10 converts the signal, and the environmental conditioning appliance 10 executes the converted signal.

[0030] This intelligent temperature and humidity control device can be set to either a timed on or timed off mode. When the environmental control appliance 10 is running, a timed off command can be set via the input interface 3. When the environmental control appliance 10 is off, a timed on command can be set via the input interface 3. After receiving the command, the controller 6 directly generates a working signal output through its information processor and transmits it to the processor of the environmental control appliance 10 via the TYPE C interface 5 and TYPE C data cable 9. The microprocessor of the environmental control appliance 10 converts the signal and executes the converted signal.

[0031] This intelligent temperature and humidity control device can be set to four operating conditions: high temperature start, low temperature start, high humidity start, and low humidity start.

[0032] The intelligent temperature and humidity control device operates under the following conditions in its set temperature and humidity on / off mode: First, it activates at a set high temperature, meaning the device turns on when the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature. This condition is primarily used when the ambient temperature is high and cooling is required. The environmental regulator 10 connected to the temperature and humidity control device is an appliance capable of lowering the ambient temperature. On the input interface 3, the device mode is selected as the set temperature and humidity on / off mode, then high temperature is selected, and the set temperature is A. After receiving the command, the controller 6 compares the temperature detected by the temperature and humidity probe 8 with the set temperature A. If the ambient temperature is lower than the set temperature A, the controller 6 outputs a shutdown signal, which is transmitted to the microprocessor of the environmental regulator 10 via the TYPE-C interface 5 and TYPE-C data line 9. The microprocessor of the environmental regulator 10 converts the signal, and the environmental regulator 10 executes the converted signal. When the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature A, the controller 6 outputs a power-on signal, which is transmitted to the environmental regulator 10 for processing and execution. The controller 6 compares the ambient temperature with the set temperature at regular intervals. The working signal output by the controller 6 is updated according to the comparison result. For example, when the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature A, the electric fan is running. After running for a period of time, the ambient temperature drops to less than the set temperature A. The ambient temperature detected by the temperature and humidity probe 8 is less than the set temperature A. The controller 6 compares the newly received ambient temperature signal with the set temperature A, outputs a shutdown working signal, and transmits it to the microprocessor of the environmental control appliance 10 through the TYPE C interface 5 and the TYPE C data line 9. After processing by the microprocessor, the environmental control appliance 10 executes the shutdown command and shuts down.

[0033] The second working condition set for the intelligent temperature and humidity control device's on / off mode is: Low-temperature start, meaning the appliance operates when the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature. This condition is mainly used in situations where the ambient temperature is low and heating is needed, such as in cold winters. In this case, the environmental control appliance 10 is a device that can raise the ambient temperature, such as a heater or fan heater. On the input interface 3, select the device mode as the set temperature and humidity on / off mode, then select low-temperature start, and set the temperature to B. After receiving the instruction, the controller 6 compares the temperature detected by the temperature and humidity probe 8 with the set temperature B through its information processor. When the ambient temperature is greater than the set temperature B, the controller 6 outputs a shutdown signal; when the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature B, the controller 6 outputs a power-on signal and transmits it to the appliance for processing and execution. The controller 6 compares the ambient temperature with the set conditions in real time and generates new working signals for output in real time.

[0034] The intelligent temperature and humidity control device's set temperature and humidity on / off mode has a third operating condition: High humidity start-up, meaning the appliance operates when the ambient humidity is greater than or equal to the set temperature. This condition is mainly used in situations where the ambient humidity is high and dehumidification is required. In this case, the environmental control appliance 10 is an appliance that can reduce air humidity, such as an electric fan or dehumidifier. On the input interface 3, the device mode is selected as the set temperature and humidity on / off mode, then high humidity start-up is selected, and the humidity is set to C. After receiving the instruction, the controller 6 compares the humidity signal detected by the temperature and humidity probe 8 with the set humidity C through its information processor. When the ambient humidity is less than the set humidity C, the controller 6 outputs a shutdown signal; when the ambient humidity is greater than or equal to the set temperature C, the controller 6 outputs a power-on signal and transmits it to the appliance for processing and execution. The controller 6 compares the ambient humidity with the set conditions in real time and generates new operating signals for output in real time.

[0035] The intelligent temperature and humidity control device's set temperature and humidity on / off mode operating condition four: Low humidity start, meaning the appliance operates when the ambient humidity is less than or equal to the set temperature. This condition is mainly used when the ambient humidity is low and humidification is required. In this case, the TYPE C data cable 9 can be connected to a humidifier or other device to increase air humidity. On the input interface 3, select the set temperature and humidity on / off mode, then select low humidity start, and set the humidity D. After receiving the command, the controller 6 compares the humidity signal detected by the temperature and humidity probe 8 with the set humidity D. When the ambient humidity is greater than the set humidity, the controller 6 outputs a shutdown signal; when the ambient humidity is less than or equal to the set temperature, the controller 6 outputs a power-on signal. The controller 6 compares the ambient humidity and the set conditions in real time and generates new operating commands in real time.

[0036] This invention relates to an intelligent temperature and humidity control device. In addition to conventional on / off and timer on / off modes, it also features a preset temperature and humidity on / off mode. This allows for real-time control of the appliance's on / off state based on changes in ambient temperature, maintaining ambient temperature and humidity within a suitable range. It is applicable to various scenarios in homes or factories requiring cooling, heating, humidification, or dehumidification. This intelligent temperature and humidity control device uses an external control box. By extending the data cable, it can detect the ambient temperature at a distance from the appliance, facilitating better temperature control. Furthermore, one intelligent temperature and humidity control device can simultaneously control multiple appliances for unified management, simplifying the management process for environmental control appliances.
