Description

Display switching method and device, heating device, and storage medium

[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411021269.8, filed on July 26, 2024, and entitled "Display switching method and device, heating device, and storage medium", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the field of data processing, in particular to a display switching method and device, a heating device, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0003] With the continuous improvement of living standards, heating devices such as toe-kick line heaters have been widely used. The toe-kick line is usually heated by natural convection, which limits the use of the toe-kick line to horizontal use only, and can only be used for space heating. The application scenario is relatively single, and the user experience is poor. Therefore, a heating device that can be used in both vertical and horizontal positions has emerged.

[0004] In related technologies, since the heating device that can be used in both vertical and horizontal positions has two normal working positions, i.e., vertical and horizontal positions, the display direction of the display content on the display of the heating device will change with the switching of the position, which requires the user to turn his head to view the display content.

[0061] The technical solutions in this application will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more than two.

[0062] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0063] This application provides a display switching method, apparatus, storage medium, and heating device. Please refer to Figure 1, which is a structural schematic diagram of a heating device provided in this application embodiment. The heating device 10 includes a shell, a heating module, an air outlet 11, a power supply 14, etc. An accommodating cavity is formed inside the shell, and the heating module and power supply 14 are disposed within the accommodating cavity. The air outlet 11 is disposed on the first side wall of the shell. The shell of the heating device 10 shown in Figure 1 may include six side walls. The location of the first side wall where the air outlet 11 is located can be determined according to actual needs. It is understood that the shell structure of the heating device 10 is not limited to the structure shown in Figure 1, and the specific structure can be set according to actual needs. The heating module is aligned with the air outlet 11 so that the heat energy generated by the heating module can be discharged through the air outlet 11. The power supply 14 is electrically connected to the heating module to provide electrical energy to the heating module.

[0064] The heating module may include a heating element 12 and a fan assembly 13. The heating element 12 may be disposed between the fan assembly 13 and the air outlet 11. The heating element 12 is used to provide heat energy, and the fan assembly 13 is used to discharge the heat energy provided by the heating element 12 through the air outlet 11. The fan assembly 13 is a cross-flow fan. When the heating device 10 is placed vertically, the cross-flow fan is in a vertical state; when the heating device 10 is placed horizontally, the cross-flow fan is in a horizontal state. The air outlet 11 is an elongated shape adapted to the cross-flow fan. Other types of fans, such as DC fans, may also be used for the fan assembly 13.

[0065] The heating device 10 may also include a processor 15, which is disposed in the receiving cavity and is used to process the relevant calculation and control logic in the heating device 10. For example, the heating device 10 may also include physical control buttons, a touch screen, etc. The start-up, temperature adjustment and other control logic of the heating device 10 can be controlled by the physical control buttons or the virtual buttons of the touch screen.

[0066] The heating device 10 may also include a network module, which can provide wireless network services or wired network services, such as wireless local area network (WLAN), local area network (LAN), cellular network, 2G network, 3G network, 4G network, 5G network, etc. When the network module is connected to the network, users can control the heating device to turn it on, off, or adjust the temperature via mobile phones, tablets, or other devices, thereby achieving remote control of the heating device 10. The power supply 14 can be electrically connected to the heating element 12, the fan assembly 13, the processor 15, and the network module, respectively, to provide power to each component module.

[0067] The heating device 10 also includes a display 16 disposed on the second side wall. The display 16 is used to display the temperature value and / or pattern set for the heating device 10 for the user to view. The second side wall can be a side wall adjacent to the first side wall. Of course, the display 16 can also be disposed on the first side wall and be on the same plane as the air outlet 11.

[0068] It should be noted that the structural schematic diagram of the heating device shown in Figure 1 is merely an example. The structural schematic diagram of the heating device described in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of heating devices, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0069] Based on the structural diagram shown in Figure 1, the display switching method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 2-16.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a flowchart illustrating a display switching method provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 2, the method of this embodiment is applied to a heating device, and a display is provided on the side wall of the heating device. The method may include the following steps S101-S103.

[0071] S101, obtain the first placement mode of the current heating device, and under the first placement mode, control the display to display in the first display mode.

[0072] Specifically, for heating devices with at least two placement options, when the heating device is placed in any of the at least two placement options, this placement option is the first placement option. Furthermore, the first display option is a display method that controls the display of content in the first placement option to be in the target display direction.

[0073] For example, heating equipment can be placed vertically or horizontally. When the current placement of the heating equipment is vertical, the first placement method is vertical; when the current placement of the heating equipment is horizontal, the first placement method is horizontal. The first display method is used to ensure that the display content shown in the controller is in the target display direction, such as forward.

[0074] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of a heating device in a vertical placement according to an embodiment of this application, the content displayed on the display 16 is displayed according to the first display mode, and its display direction is forward.

[0075] S102, when it is detected that the placement of the heating device has changed from the first placement method to the second placement method, the second display method corresponding to the second placement method is determined based on the mapping relationship between the placement method and the display method. The placement methods of the heating device include vertical placement and horizontal placement.

[0076] Specifically, when a change in the placement of the heating device from a first placement to a second placement is detected, a second display mode corresponding to the second placement is determined based on the mapping relationship between placement and display modes. This second display mode is a mode that controls the display orientation of the content shown on the monitor in the second placement mode to the target display orientation.

[0077] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, which is a schematic diagram of a heating device in a horizontal placement mode according to an embodiment of this application, when the first placement mode is a vertical placement mode and the second placement mode is a horizontal placement mode, when a change in placement mode from the vertical placement mode in Figure 3 to the horizontal placement mode in Figure 4 is detected, the horizontal display mode corresponding to the horizontal placement mode can be determined based on a pre-set mapping relationship between placement mode and display mode.

[0078] The placement of the heating device can be detected by sensors, such as triaxial sensors and gravity sensors, installed inside the heating device; no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0079] S103, switch the first display mode to the second display mode, and control the display direction of the content displayed on the display to be in the target display direction when the heating device is in the first placement mode and the second placement mode.

[0080] In this process, after determining the second display mode, the monitor that was originally displaying according to the first display mode is switched to display according to the second display mode, so that the display direction of the content displayed on the controller is the target display direction, such as facing forward. This ensures that the display direction of the content shown on the monitor is the target display direction in both the first and second placement modes of the heating device.

[0081] The display switching method provided in this application obtains the first placement mode of the heating device. Under the first placement mode, the display is controlled to show the content in the first display mode. When it is detected that the placement mode of the heating device has changed from the first placement mode to the second placement mode, a second display mode corresponding to the second placement mode is determined based on the mapping relationship between placement mode and display mode. The first display mode is switched to the second display mode, and the display direction of the content displayed on the display is controlled to be in the target display direction whether the heating device is in the first placement mode or the second placement mode. By controlling the display to show the content in the corresponding display mode under different placement modes, the display direction of the content displayed on the display will not change with the change of placement mode, and will always be displayed in the target display direction, without requiring the user to turn their head or other means to view the display content.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 5, which is a flowchart illustrating a display switching method provided in an embodiment of this application. The specific flow of this method is as follows:

[0083] S201, obtain the first placement mode of the current heating device, obtain the content to be displayed under the first placement mode, and determine the first dot matrix light-emitting element used to display the content to be displayed under the first display mode.

[0084] Please refer to Figures 6 and 7. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of dot matrix light-emitting elements in one embodiment of this application, and Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of dot matrix light-emitting elements in two types of dot matrix screens provided in this application. Figure 6 shows that the dot matrix screen includes multiple dot matrix light-emitting elements, for example, 64 dot matrix light-emitting elements from 1A to 8H. These elements are energized horizontally through pins 1 to 10 arranged in rows, and vertically through pins 11 to 18 arranged in columns, thereby enabling different dot matrix light-emitting elements to emit light.

[0085] For example, as shown in Figure 7, in the first placement mode, the content to be displayed on the monitor is the number "4". According to the first display mode, it is necessary to control the dot matrix light-emitting elements 3C, 3D, 4C, 4E, 5C, 5E, 6C, 6D, 6E, 6F, 7E, and 8E.

[0086] S202, control each first dot matrix light-emitting element to emit light in order to display the content to be displayed.

[0087] The control principle for controlling the first dot matrix light-emitting element to emit light is to energize the row pin and the vertical pin where the dot matrix light-emitting element is located, so that the light-emitting element emits light. For example, to control the dot matrix light-emitting element 3C to emit light in Figure 7, it is necessary to energize the row pin pin3 and the vertical pin pin16 where it is located, so that the dot matrix light-emitting element 3C emits light.

[0088] For example, as shown in Figure 7, the content to be displayed on the monitor is the number "4". According to the first display method, it is necessary to control the dot matrix light-emitting elements 3C, 3D, 4C, 4E, 5C, 5E, 6C, 6D, 6E, 6F, 7E, and 8E. The above dot matrix light-emitting elements are the first dot matrix light-emitting elements. By controlling these first dot matrix light-emitting elements to emit light, the number "4" as shown in Figure 7 is formed.

[0089] S203, when it is detected that the placement of the heating device has changed from the first placement method to the second placement method, the second display method corresponding to the second placement method is determined based on the mapping relationship between the placement method and the display method.

[0090] Since the structural orientation of the dot matrix screen does not change with the placement of the heating equipment when the placement method is changed, if the original first display method is used to display the content in the second placement method, the display orientation of the content on the monitor will be abnormal. Therefore, it is necessary to determine a second display method that can make the display orientation of the content on the monitor the target display orientation under the second placement method.

[0091] S204, switch the first display mode to the second display mode, and determine the second dot matrix light-emitting element used to display the content to be displayed in the second display mode.

[0092] For example, as shown in Figure 8, which is a flowchart illustrating the content displayed in a monitor according to an embodiment of this application. Since the structural position of the dot matrix screen changes with the placement of the heating equipment, the arrangement diagram of the dot matrix light-emitting elements will change from the vertical placement diagram in Figure 7 to the arrangement diagram shown in Figure 8. In order to ensure that the display direction of the number "4" is positive, it is necessary to determine the corresponding second dot matrix light-emitting element. For example, 3E, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E, 4F, 4G, 5E, 6B, 6C, 6D, and 6E in Figure 8.

[0093] S205, control each second dot matrix light-emitting element to emit light to display the content to be displayed, and control the display direction of the content displayed in the display to be in the target display direction when the heating device is in the first placement mode and the second placement mode.

[0094] In this design, by controlling the illumination of these second-matrix light-emitting elements, the display can still maintain the target display direction (i.e., the positive direction) even in the second placement configuration. Specifically, the display is not limited to displaying numbers or other content; it can also display patterns, etc., without further limitation.

[0095] The display switching method provided in this application can determine different dot matrix light-emitting elements for each content to be displayed under different placement methods, thereby ensuring that the display direction of the content displayed under different placement methods is the target display direction.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 9, which is a flowchart illustrating a display switching method provided in an embodiment of this application. The specific flow of this method is as follows:

[0097] S301, obtain the first placement mode of the current heating device, and under the first placement mode, obtain the first correspondence between the content to be displayed and the dot matrix light-emitting element based on the first display mode, and determine the first dot matrix light-emitting element corresponding to the content to be displayed.

[0098] In order to determine which dot matrix light-emitting elements need to be controlled to emit light under different display modes, it is necessary to establish a correspondence between the display content and the dot matrix light-emitting elements in advance under different display modes, thus obtaining the first correspondence between the display content and the dot matrix light-emitting elements under the first display mode. In the actual display process, the first dot matrix light-emitting element corresponding to the content to be displayed can be determined based on the first correspondence between the display content and the dot matrix light-emitting elements under the first display mode.

[0099] S302 controls each first dot matrix light-emitting element to emit light in order to display the content to be displayed.

[0100] Step S302 is the same as step S202 above, and will not be described again here.

[0101] S303, when it is detected that the placement mode of the heating device has changed from the first placement mode to the second placement mode, the second display mode corresponding to the second placement mode is determined based on the mapping relationship between the placement mode and the display mode.

[0102] Step S303 is the same as step S203 above, and will not be described again here.

[0103] S304, switch the first display mode to the second display mode, and determine the second dot matrix light-emitting element corresponding to the content to be displayed based on the second correspondence between the displayed content and the dot matrix light-emitting element under the second display mode.

[0104] In order to determine which dot matrix light-emitting elements need to be controlled to emit light under different display modes, it is necessary to establish a correspondence between the display content and the dot matrix light-emitting elements in advance under different display modes, thereby obtaining a second correspondence between the display content and the dot matrix light-emitting elements under the second display mode. In the actual display process, the first dot matrix light-emitting element corresponding to the content to be displayed can be determined based on the second correspondence between the display content and the dot matrix light-emitting elements under the second display mode.

[0105] S305 controls each second dot matrix light-emitting element to emit light to display the content to be displayed, and controls the display direction of the content displayed in the display to be in the target display direction when the heating device is in the first placement mode and the second placement mode.

[0106] Step S305 is the same as step S205 above, and will not be described again here.

[0107] The display switching method provided in this application establishes a correspondence between the display content and the dot matrix light-emitting element in advance under different display modes. In actual use, the corresponding dot matrix light-emitting element can be determined according to the specific display mode and the content to be displayed, thereby ensuring that the display direction of the content displayed under different placement methods is the target display direction.

[0108] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG10, FIG10 is a schematic flowchart of a display switching method provided in this application. It includes the following steps:

[0109] S401. During the process of changing the placement of the heating equipment from the first placement method to the second placement method, the content displayed on the display is changed from being displayed to being off.

[0110] S402. When the placement of the heating equipment is detected to have changed to the second placement method, the display content on the control display is changed from off to on.

[0111] As shown in Figures 11 and 12, Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of the display content in the monitor provided in this application changing its placement method. Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of the display content in the monitor provided in this application changing its placement method from a first placement method to a second placement method. As shown in Figure 11, during the process of changing the heating device from the first placement method to the second placement method but not yet changing to the second placement method, the content displayed on the monitor will change from the display state under the first placement method to an off state. As shown in Figure 12, when the placement method of the heating device has changed to the second placement method, the display content that was originally in the off state can be controlled to change back to the display state and continue to be displayed.

[0112] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG13, FIG13 is a schematic flowchart of a display switching method provided in this application. It includes the following steps:

[0113] S501, during the process of changing the placement of the heating equipment from the first placement method to the second placement method, the content displayed on the control screen continues to be displayed;

[0114] S502, when the placement of the heating equipment is detected to have changed to the second placement method, the display content on the control display is changed from the current display direction to the target display direction.

[0115] As shown in Figures 14 and 16, Figure 14 is another schematic diagram of the display content in the monitor provided in this application changing its placement method. Figure 15 is another schematic diagram of the display content in the monitor provided in this application changing its placement method from a first placement method to a second placement method. As shown in Figure 14, during the process of the heating device changing from the first placement method to the second placement method but not yet changing to the second placement method, the content displayed on the monitor will continue to be displayed, and the display direction of the content will not be adjusted at this time. As shown in Figure 15, when the placement method of the heating device has changed to the second placement method, the "24℃" that was originally displayed in the vertical direction (currently displayed square) is changed to the "24℃" in the forward display direction (target display direction).

[0116] Specifically, the process of changing the display content on the monitor from the current display orientation to the target display orientation can be either a direct change or a gradual change.

[0117] In some implementations, when the placement of the heating device is detected to have changed to a second placement, the display content on the monitor is controlled to change from the current display orientation to the target display orientation, including:

[0118] Determine the rotation direction from the current display direction to the target display direction;

[0119] Control the display content on the monitor to gradually rotate from the current display direction to the target display direction according to the rotation direction.

[0120] Specifically, when the display content in the monitor is changed from the current display orientation to the target display orientation in a slow change process, the rotation direction from the current display orientation to the target display orientation can be determined, and the display content in the monitor can be controlled to gradually rotate from the current display orientation to the target display orientation according to the rotation direction.

[0121] As shown in Figure 15, it is necessary to determine the rotation direction required for the displayed content to change from the current display direction to the target display direction. For example, in Figure 15, to rotate from the vertically displayed "24℃" to the forward-facing "24℃", it is necessary to rotate from the negative X-axis to the positive Y-axis, that is, rotate 90° counterclockwise. This allows the vertically displayed "24℃" to gradually rotate to the forward-facing "24℃" according to this rotation direction.

[0122] Specifically, the gradual rotation can be achieved by rotating a preset angle at preset intervals, as shown in Figure 16, which is a schematic diagram of the gradual rotation of the display content provided in this embodiment. In Figure 16, the process of rotating from the vertically displayed "24℃" to the normally displayed "24℃" involves an intermediate stage, namely the tilted display of "24℃" in Figure 13. It is set to rotate 45° every second in the rotation direction. Thus, in the process of rotating from the vertically displayed "24℃" to the normally displayed "24℃", the displayed "24℃" is in a tilted state in the first second, and in the second second, the tilted "24℃" rotates to the normally displayed "24℃".

[0123] When the displayed content is in an intermediate stage, the third dot matrix light-emitting element corresponding to each intermediate stage of the rotation can be determined according to the third mapping relationship between the displayed content and the dot matrix light-emitting element under the rotation direction. This allows the third dot matrix light-emitting element to emit light, thus creating a display effect where the displayed content rotates gradually.

[0124] In this embodiment of the application, the display effect of the display content gradually rotating is achieved by controlling the display content to rotate gradually.

[0125] In some implementations, the method further includes:

[0126] When the placement of the heating device is detected to have changed from the first placement method to an abnormal placement method, the display content on the monitor is turned off.

[0127] Specifically, for heating equipment with abnormal placement (such as air outlet facing downwards, first side placement, inverted placement, and / or second side placement), when the placement of the heating equipment is detected to have changed from the first placement to an abnormal placement, the display content on the monitor is turned off.

[0128] This application's implementation method alerts the user to an abnormal placement by turning off the display content on the monitor when the placement of the heating equipment changes from the first placement method to an abnormal placement method. This reduces the risk factor during the use of the heating equipment and extends its service life.

[0129] The heating device 10 provided in this application embodiment may further include at least two temperature sensors. When the heating device 10 is placed vertically, two of the at least two temperature sensors form a height difference in the vertical direction. When the heating device 10 is placed horizontally, the two temperature sensors that form a height difference in the vertical direction are arranged near the air outlet 11.

[0130] The heating device 10 is determined to be either vertically or horizontally positioned based on the temperature detection results of these two temperature sensors. Furthermore, when the heating device 10 is vertically positioned, the two temperature sensors are located at the upper and lower ends of the air outlet, or one in the middle and the other at the upper or lower end. If the temperature difference between the two sensors is greater than a preset value, the heating device 10 is determined to be vertically positioned; if the temperature difference is less than the preset value, the heating device 10 is determined to be horizontally positioned.

[0131] As another implementation, the heating device 10 provided in this application embodiment may further include at least two temperature sensors. When the heating device 10 is placed vertically, the at least two temperature sensors may be respectively set on two opposite sides near the air outlet 11, and the temperature sensors near different sides need to form a height difference in the vertical direction. The placement of the heating device 10 is determined by the temperature detection results of the temperature sensors placed on different sides.

[0132] It is understood that the placement of the heating device 10 described in the embodiments of this application may include vertical placement, horizontal placement, first side placement, second side placement, and placement with the air outlet facing downwards, etc. All placement methods are determined based on the heating device 10 being placed on the same horizontal plane, such as a horizontal ground. The following will illustrate various placement methods of the heating device 10 with reference to Figures 17-22, taking two temperature sensors (first temperature sensor 21 and second temperature sensor 23) as examples. The Y-axis is perpendicular to the horizontal plane (i.e., vertical direction), and the X-axis is parallel to the horizontal plane (i.e., horizontal direction).

[0133] Please refer to Figure 17, which provides an example of a heating device placed vertically according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 17, the heating device 10 is placed on a horizontal plane, with the air outlet 11 facing forward based on the horizontal plane. The plane containing the air outlet 11 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. A first temperature sensor 21 is disposed on the first side of the air outlet 11, and a second temperature sensor 23 is disposed on the second side of the air outlet 11. The first temperature sensor 21 and the second temperature sensor 23 form a height difference in the vertical direction. The first temperature sensor 21 is located at the upper left of the air outlet 11, and the second temperature sensor 23 is located at the lower right of the air outlet 11. The first side and the second side are two opposite sides of the air outlet 11, both of which are perpendicular to the horizontal plane. When the heating device 10 is placed vertically, heat energy is discharged forward based on the horizontal plane through the air outlet 11.

[0134] Please refer to Figure 18, which provides an example of a heating device placed horizontally according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 18, the heating device 10 is placed on a horizontal surface, and the air outlet 11 faces upwards from the horizontal surface. The plane where the air outlet 11 is located is parallel to the horizontal surface. When the heating device 10 is placed horizontally, heat energy is discharged through the air outlet 11 from the horizontal surface upwards.

[0135] Please refer to Figure 19, which provides a distance diagram of the heating device in an inverted placement configuration according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 19, the heating device 10 is placed on a horizontal plane, with the air outlet 11 facing forward relative to the horizontal plane. The plane containing the air outlet 11 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The inverted placement configuration shown in Figure 19 is obtained by rotating the vertical placement configuration shown in Figure 2 by 180 degrees in the X-axis direction. The first temperature sensor 21 is located at the lower right of the air outlet 11, and the second temperature sensor 23 is located at the upper left of the air outlet 11.

[0136] Please refer to Figure 20, which provides an example schematic diagram of the heating device in a first side-mounted position according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 20, the heating device 10 is placed on a horizontal plane, with the air outlet 11 facing forward based on the horizontal plane. The plane where the air outlet 11 is located is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The first side-mounted position shown in Figure 20 is obtained by rotating the vertical placement shown in Figure 2 by 90 degrees in the positive X-axis direction. The first temperature sensor 21 is located to the upper right of the air outlet 11, and the second temperature sensor 23 is located to the lower left of the air outlet 11.

[0137] Please refer to Figure 21, which provides an example of a heating device in a second side-mounted configuration according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 21, the heating device 10 is placed on a horizontal plane, with the air outlet 11 facing forward relative to the horizontal plane. The plane containing the air outlet 11 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The second side-mounted configuration shown in Figure 21 is obtained by rotating the vertical placement shown in Figure 2 by 90 degrees in the negative X-axis direction. The first temperature sensor 21 is located to the lower left of the air outlet 11, and the second temperature sensor 23 is located to the upper right of the air outlet 11.

[0138] Please refer to Figure 22, which provides an example of a heating device with its air outlet facing downwards, according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 22, the heating device 10 is placed on a horizontal surface, with the air outlet 11 facing downwards based on the horizontal surface. The plane containing the air outlet 11 is parallel to the horizontal surface. The downward-facing placement shown in Figure 7 is obtained by rotating the horizontal placement shown in Figure 18 by 180 degrees around the X-axis. The first temperature sensor 21 is located to the lower right of the air outlet 11, and the second temperature sensor 23 is located to the upper left of the air outlet 11.

[0139] It should be noted that the heating device 10 shown in Figures 17-22 is presented with the plane of the air outlet 11 as the main view. The horizontal placement and the air outlet downward placement are only shown as the preferred placement directions. All placements of the heating device 10 maintain the same placement regardless of the angle of rotation around the Y-axis. For example, in the vertical placement shown in Figure 17, if the heating device 10 is rotated 180 degrees around the Y-axis, the heating device 10 is still vertically placed. At this time, the air outlet 11 faces backward based on the horizontal plane, and the plane of the air outlet 11 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Heat energy is discharged through the air outlet 11 facing backward based on the horizontal plane.

[0140] In this embodiment, due to the arrangement of the component modules in the heating device 10, the heating device 10 can operate normally when placed vertically or horizontally. However, when placed upside down, on its first side, or on its second side, i.e., when tilted, it is considered an abnormal placement and cannot operate normally. In some embodiments, if the heating device 10 is set to a normal state when tilted, it can still operate normally even when tilted. However, when the air outlet faces downwards, since the heating device 10 is normally placed on a horizontal surface, if the air outlet 11 is close to the horizontal surface, the hot air cannot be discharged into the indoor space, causing the temperature of the air outlet 11 to be too high, which can easily damage the heating device 10. Therefore, when the heating device 10 is placed with the air outlet facing downwards, it is considered an abnormal placement and cannot operate normally. It is understandable that heating equipment, when placed in a normal way, such as upright or horizontal, can have different electronic control modes. These modes may include, but are not limited to, the display mode of the heating equipment's screen and the operating mode of the heating equipment. The display mode may specifically include the font display direction, size, and color, while the operating mode may be a personal heating mode or a space heating mode. For example, if the heating equipment is placed upright, the operating mode may be a personal heating mode to control the fan speed to reduce its speed. If the heating equipment is placed horizontally, the operating mode may be a space heating mode to control the fan speed to its maximum speed.

[0141] Please refer to Figures 23-26 for illustrative examples of temperature sensor configurations provided in this application. It should be noted that the configurations shown in Figures 23-26 are illustrative examples assuming the heating device is placed vertically and two temperature sensors are present.

[0142] Please refer to Figure 23. In addition to the arrangement of the two temperature sensors shown in Figure 17, the first temperature sensor 21 can also be arranged between the left side of the heating device 10 and the first side (left side) of the air outlet 11, and the second temperature sensor 23 can be arranged between the right side of the heating device 10 and the second side (right side) of the air outlet 11. The first temperature sensor 21 is arranged higher than the second temperature sensor 23 in the vertical direction.

[0143] Please refer to Figure 24. The first temperature sensor 21 can be set at any position on the first side of the air outlet 11, and the second temperature sensor 23 can be set at any position on the second side of the air outlet 11. The first temperature sensor 21 is set higher than the second temperature sensor 23 in the vertical direction.

[0144] Please refer to Figure 25. The first temperature sensor 21 can be set at any position on the upper edge of the air outlet 11 near the first side, and the second temperature sensor 23 can be set at any position on the lower edge of the air outlet 11 near the second side. The first temperature sensor 21 is set higher than the second temperature sensor 23 in the vertical direction.

[0145] Of course, the first temperature sensor 21 can also be set lower than the second temperature sensor 23 in the vertical direction. Please refer to Figure 26. The first temperature sensor 21 is set at any position on the first side of the air outlet 11 near the lower edge, and the second temperature sensor 23 is set at any position on the second side of the air outlet 11 near the upper edge.

[0146] Figures 23-26 only show some of the settings for the two temperature sensors. In actual setup, it is necessary to ensure that there is a height difference between the first temperature sensor 21 and the second temperature sensor 23 in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The specific settings can be made according to actual needs.

[0147] Please refer to Figures 27-33 for illustrative examples of temperature sensor configurations provided in this application. It should be noted that the configurations shown in Figures 27-33 are based on the scenario where the heating device is placed vertically and three temperature sensors are present. Specifically, the configurations shown in Figures 27-31 are illustrated in relation to the side, while the configurations shown in Figures 32-33 are illustrated in relation to the angular position range.

[0148] Please refer to Figure 27. The first temperature sensor 21 can be set at the intersection of the first side (left) and the upper edge of the air outlet 11. The second temperature sensor 23 is set at the intersection of the second side (right) and the lower edge of the air outlet 11. The third temperature sensor 22 can be set at the intersection of the second side and the upper edge. The first temperature sensor 21 and the third temperature sensor 22 are both set higher than the second temperature sensor 23 in the vertical direction.

[0149] Please refer to Figure 28. The first temperature sensor 21 can be set between the left side of the heating device 10 and the first side (left side) of the air outlet 11. The second temperature sensor 23 and the third temperature sensor 22 are both set between the right side of the heating device 10 and the second side (right side) of the air outlet 11. The first temperature sensor 21 and the third temperature sensor 22 are both set higher than the second temperature sensor 23 in the vertical direction.

[0150] Please refer to Figure 29. The first temperature sensor 21 can be set on the first side of the air outlet 11, and the second temperature sensor 23 and the third temperature sensor 22 are both set on the second side of the air outlet 11. The first temperature sensor 21 and the third temperature sensor 22 are both set higher than the second temperature sensor 23 in the vertical direction.

[0151] Please refer to Figure 30. The first temperature sensor 21 can be set at any position on the upper edge of the air outlet 11 near the first side. The second temperature sensor 23 can be set at any position on the lower edge of the air outlet 11 near the second side. The third temperature sensor 22 can be set at any position on the upper edge of the air outlet 11 near the second side. The first temperature sensor 21 and the third temperature sensor 22 are both set higher than the second temperature sensor 23 in the vertical direction.

[0152] Optionally, for the setup shown in Figures 27-30, the height difference between the first temperature sensor 21 and the third temperature sensor 22 in the vertical direction can be unrestricted, that is, they can be at the same height or have a height difference.

[0153] Please refer to Figure 31. The third temperature sensor 22 can also be located on the same side as the first temperature sensor 21. For example, as shown in Figure 31, the third temperature sensor 22 is located at the intersection of the first side and the lower edge of the air outlet 11.

[0154] Please refer to Figure 32. The heating device 10 includes at least a first temperature sensor 21, a second temperature sensor 23, and a third temperature sensor 22 respectively installed at the air outlet 11 adjacent to the heating device 10. The first temperature sensor 21 and the second temperature sensor 23 are respectively located within the range of two diagonally arranged corner positions in the heating device 10, and the third temperature sensor 22 is located within the range of any corner position in the other diagonal position.

[0155] Specifically, the first temperature sensor 21 is located within the range of the angular position corresponding to the first direction of the air outlet 11, the second temperature sensor 23 is located within the range of the angular position corresponding to the second direction of the air outlet 11, and the third temperature sensor 22 is located within the range of the angular position corresponding to the third direction of the air outlet 11. When the heating device 10 is placed vertically, the first direction points to the first side of the air outlet 11, and the second and third directions point to the second side of the air outlet 11.

[0156] Please refer to Figure 33. When the first temperature sensor 21 is set in the range A1 corresponding to the corner position A, and the second temperature sensor 23 is set in the range B1 corresponding to the corner position B, the third temperature sensor 22 is set in the range C1 corresponding to the corner position C or the range D1 corresponding to the corner position D.

[0157] Optionally, when the first temperature sensor 21 is set within the range C1 corresponding to the angular position C, and the second temperature sensor 23 is set within the range D1 corresponding to the angular position D, the third temperature sensor 22 is set within the range A1 corresponding to the angular position A or the range B1 corresponding to the angular position B.

[0158] Specifically, temperature sensors can be installed within the range corresponding to each corner position; this is not a limitation.

[0159] Figures 27-33 only show partial setups of the three temperature sensors. In actual setup, the following situations may occur:

[0160] Both the first temperature sensor 21 and the third temperature sensor 22 have a height difference from the second temperature sensor 23 in the vertical direction, and the first temperature sensor 21 has a height difference from the second temperature sensor 23 and the third temperature sensor 22 in the horizontal direction, respectively.

[0161] Alternatively, the first temperature sensor 21 may have a vertical height difference with the second temperature sensor 23 and the third temperature sensor 22, and both the first temperature sensor 21 and the third temperature sensor 22 may have a horizontal height difference with the second temperature sensor 23. The specific settings can be configured according to actual needs.

[0162] It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 23-33 above, when the heating device is placed horizontally, at least two temperature sensors are both on the same plane, or they can form a height difference in the vertical direction. Optionally, the at least two temperature sensors can be set on the inner wall of the housing facing the receiving cavity of the air outlet 11, or they can be set on the outer wall of the housing facing the external space of the air outlet 11, depending on actual needs. At the same time, the first side, the second side, and the upper and lower edges of the air outlet 11 can also be arc-shaped. The first side and the second side specifically refer to the two sides of the air outlet 11 that are perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the horizontal plane when the heating device 10 is placed vertically, and the upper edge and the lower edge refer to the two edges of the air outlet 11 that are parallel or approximately parallel to the horizontal plane when the heating device 10 is placed vertically.

[0163] Based on the arrangement of the two temperature sensors shown in Figures 17 and 23-25, the placement method for detecting the temperature sensor arrangement provided in this application embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 34-37.

[0164] Please refer to Figure 34, which is a flowchart illustrating a placement method detection method provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 34, the placement method detection method in this embodiment may include the following steps S601-S602.

[0165] S601, acquire the first temperature value collected by the first temperature sensor and the second temperature value collected by the second temperature sensor;

[0166] Specifically, when the heating device is in operation, the temperature values ​​at different locations of the heating device are collected by the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor and the third temperature sensor installed at the air outlet, thereby obtaining the first temperature value collected by the first temperature sensor and the second temperature value collected by the second temperature sensor.

[0167] S602, compare the first temperature value and the second temperature value to determine the placement of the heating equipment;

[0168] Specifically, since the hot air generated by the heating equipment will automatically convect upwards during use, temperature values ​​at different locations can be collected by temperature sensors placed at different locations. By comparing the collected first temperature value and second temperature value, the placement of the heating equipment can be determined.

[0169] In this embodiment, temperature sensors are installed on two sides of the heating device near the air outlet. Since the temperature sensors are located on opposite sides and there is a height difference in the vertical direction, the principle of upward flow of hot air can be utilized. Based on the temperature difference collected by the temperature sensors, multiple placement methods of the heating device can be determined, avoiding the situation where the heating device is placed incorrectly, and improving the safety of using the heating device.

[0170] For the specific method of determining the placement method in step S602, please refer to Figures 35-37. As shown in Figure 35, a flowchart of a placement method detection method provided in this embodiment of the application is presented. The placement method detection method in this embodiment of the application may include the following steps S701-S703.

[0171] S701, if the first temperature value is greater than the second temperature value, then calculate the difference between the first temperature value and the second temperature value to obtain the first temperature difference;

[0172] Specifically, since the hot air generated by the heating device will automatically convect upwards during use, if the first temperature value is detected to be greater than the second temperature value, it means that the temperature value collected by the first temperature sensor is greater than the temperature value collected by the second temperature sensor. Since the heating device is placed vertically or on its side, the first temperature sensor is set higher than the second temperature sensor in the vertical direction. Therefore, it is necessary to further calculate the difference between the first temperature value and the second temperature value.

[0173] S702, if the first temperature difference is within the first difference range, then the placement method of the heating equipment is determined to be vertical placement.

[0174] S703, if the first temperature difference is within the second difference range, then the placement method of the heating equipment is determined to be the first side placement method;

[0175] Specifically, the values ​​in the first and second difference intervals are not the same. For example, the first difference interval is [2,4] and the second difference interval is [5,8], or the first difference interval is [5,8] and the second difference interval is [2,4]. It can be understood that when the heating device is placed vertically or in the first side-mounted position, the height difference between the first and second temperature sensors in the vertical direction is different. The temperature difference with a larger height difference is greater than the temperature difference with a smaller height difference. Therefore, the minimum value in the difference interval with a larger height difference can be greater than the maximum value in the difference interval with a smaller height difference. This ensures that the vertical and side-mounted positions of the heating device can be distinguished when the first temperature value is greater than the second temperature value. The above interval values ​​are just examples. In actual applications, the range of temperature difference is determined by the height difference of the temperature sensors. The specific difference interval setting can be determined based on the actual height difference of the temperature sensors.

[0176] Please refer to Figure 36, which is a flowchart illustrating a placement method detection method provided in this embodiment of the application. As shown in Figure 36, the placement method detection method in this embodiment may include the following steps S801-S804.

[0177] S801, calculate the absolute value of the difference between the first temperature value and the second temperature value to obtain the second temperature difference;

[0178] Specifically, when the heating equipment is placed horizontally or with the air outlet facing downwards, the generated hot airflow will automatically convect upwards or converge on the horizontal plane. Since the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor are on the same plane at this time, there will not be a large difference between the temperature values ​​collected by each temperature sensor. Therefore, the absolute value of the difference between the first temperature value and the second temperature value can be calculated to obtain the second temperature difference.

[0179] S802, if the second temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature difference, then determine the target rate of change of the temperature value collected by at least one of the first and second temperature sensors.

[0180] Specifically, by setting a preset temperature difference, it is determined whether a second temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature difference. If the second temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature difference, it indicates that the first and second temperature sensors are at the same height. It can be understood that the preset temperature difference is less than the minimum value in the first and second temperature difference intervals.

[0181] The method for determining the target rate of change of temperature is as follows: Determine the initial temperature value and the final temperature value collected by at least one of the first and second temperature sensors within a preset time period. Calculate the difference between the final temperature value and the initial temperature value to obtain the temperature change value within the preset time period; calculate the ratio of the temperature change value to the preset time period to obtain the target rate of change of temperature.

[0182] S803, if the target rate of change is less than or equal to the preset rate of change, then the placement of the heating equipment is determined to be a horizontal placement.

[0183] Specifically, if the target rate of change is less than or equal to the preset rate of change, it indicates that the hot airflow has not gathered, and therefore it can be determined that the heating equipment is placed horizontally.

[0184] S804, if the target rate of change is greater than the preset rate of change, then the placement of the heating equipment is determined to be a downward-facing air outlet placement.

[0185] Specifically, if the target rate of change is greater than the preset rate of change, it means that the air outlet of the heating equipment is close to the horizontal plane, causing the hot air to gather and unable to diffuse into the indoor space. Therefore, it can be determined that the heating equipment should be placed with the air outlet facing downwards.

[0186] Please refer to Figure 37, which is a flowchart illustrating a placement method detection method provided in this embodiment of the application. As shown in Figure 37, the placement method detection method in this embodiment may include the following steps S901-S903.

[0187] S901, if the first temperature value is less than the second temperature value, then calculate the difference between the second temperature value and the first temperature value to obtain the third temperature difference;

[0188] Specifically, since the hot air generated by the heating device will automatically convect upwards during use, if the first temperature value is detected to be less than the second temperature value, it means that the temperature value collected by the first temperature sensor is less than the temperature value collected by the second temperature sensor. Since the second temperature sensor is set higher than the first temperature sensor in the vertical direction when the heating device is placed upside down or on its side, it is necessary to further calculate the difference between the first temperature value and the second temperature value.

[0189] S902, if the third temperature difference is within the third difference range, then the placement method of the heating equipment is determined to be the inverted placement method;

[0190] S903, if the third temperature difference is within the fourth difference range, then the placement method of the heating equipment is determined to be the second side placement method.

[0191] Specifically, the values ​​in the third and fourth difference intervals are different. For example, the third difference interval is [2,4] and the fourth difference interval is [5,8], or the third difference interval is [5,8] and the fourth difference interval is [2,4]. It can be understood that when the heating device is placed upside down or on its side, the height difference between the first and second temperature sensors in the vertical direction is different. The temperature difference with a larger height difference is greater than the temperature difference with a smaller height difference. Therefore, the minimum value in the difference interval with a larger height difference can be greater than the maximum value in the difference interval with a smaller height difference. This ensures that the upside-down and second-side-up placement of the heating device can be distinguished when the first temperature value is greater than the second temperature value. The above interval values ​​are just examples. In actual applications, the range of temperature difference is determined by the height difference of the temperature sensors. The specific difference interval setting can be determined based on the actual height difference of the temperature sensors.

[0192] It is understandable that, since the first and second side-placement methods are two opposing orientations, and the vertical and inverted placement methods are two opposing orientations, when the air outlet is rectangular, the first difference range can be the same as the third difference range, and the second difference range can be the same as the fourth difference range.

[0193] In some embodiments, if the placement of the heating equipment is determined to be abnormal, a specific error message indicating the abnormal placement can be output, or only a prompt message can be output to inform the user that the current placement is abnormal. Regardless of the prompting method used or not, the heating equipment can be stopped directly. The method for determining an abnormal placement method can be found in the description of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0194] In the embodiments of this application, the steps of the embodiments shown in Figures 35-37 can be implemented in combination or the corresponding judgment logic can be executed separately. In the case of combined implementation, S801 can be executed first. If the second temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature difference, then S802-S804 can be executed. If the second temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature difference, then the size between the first temperature value and the second temperature value is judged. If the first temperature value is greater than the second temperature value, then S701-S703 can be executed. If the first temperature value is less than the second temperature value, then S901-S903 can be executed. The specific combination method can be implemented according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0195] It should be noted that if the two temperature sensors in Figure 11 are used, then except for the execution process of S301-S304, the judgment process is the opposite of the judgment process of S701 and S901.

[0196] For further details, please refer to the table below:

[0197] In this embodiment, the placement of the heating equipment can also be determined by the relative relationship shown in the table, where A represents the first temperature value collected by the first temperature sensor and B represents the second temperature value collected by the second temperature sensor. The judgment process in the relative relationship can be referred to the specific description of the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0198] In this embodiment, temperature sensors are installed on two sides of the heating device near the air outlet. Since the temperature sensors are located on opposite sides and there is a height difference in the vertical direction, the principle of upward flow of hot air can be utilized. Based on the temperature difference collected by the temperature sensors, various placement methods of the heating device can be determined, avoiding incorrect placement and improving the safety of the heating device. If an abnormal placement method is detected, a prompt message can be output, and the operation of the heating device can be stopped. In addition to ensuring the safety of the heating device, the normal operation of the heating device is further guaranteed, thus achieving the purpose of protecting the heating device.

[0199] Based on the arrangement of the three temperature sensors shown in Figures 27-30 and 32-33, the placement method for detecting the temperature sensors provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 38-39.

[0200] Please refer to Figure 38, which is a flowchart illustrating a placement method detection method provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 38, the placement method detection method in this embodiment may include the following steps S501-S502.

[0201] S1001, acquire the first temperature value collected by the first temperature sensor, the second temperature value collected by the second temperature sensor, and the third temperature value collected by the third temperature sensor;

[0202] Specifically, when the heating device is in operation, the temperature values ​​at different locations of the heating device are collected by the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor, and the third temperature sensor located at the air outlet, respectively, thereby obtaining the first temperature value collected by the first temperature sensor, the second temperature value collected by the second temperature sensor, and the third temperature value collected by the third temperature sensor.

[0203] S1002, compare the first temperature value, the second temperature value and the third temperature value to determine the placement of the heating equipment.

[0204] Specifically, since the hot air generated by the heating equipment will automatically convect upwards during use, temperature values ​​at different locations can be collected by temperature sensors placed at different locations. By comparing the collected first, second, and third temperature values, the placement of the heating equipment can be determined.

[0205] In this embodiment, temperature sensors are installed on two sides of the heating device near the air outlet. Since the temperature sensors are located on opposite sides and there is a height difference in the vertical direction, the principle of upward flow of hot air can be utilized. Based on the temperature difference collected by the temperature sensors, multiple placement methods of the heating device can be determined, avoiding the situation where the heating device is placed incorrectly, and improving the safety of using the heating device.

[0206] For the specific method of determining the placement method in step S1002, please refer to Figure 39, which is a flowchart illustrating a placement method detection method provided in this embodiment of the application. As shown in Figure 39, the placement method detection method in this embodiment of the application may include the following steps S1101-S1104.

[0207] S1101, calculate the difference between the first temperature value and the second temperature value to obtain the fourth temperature difference;

[0208] S1102, calculate the difference between the second temperature value and the third temperature value to obtain the fifth temperature difference;

[0209] S1103, calculate the difference between the third temperature value and the first temperature value to obtain the sixth temperature difference;

[0210] S1104, Based on the fourth temperature difference and / or the fifth temperature difference and / or the sixth temperature difference, determine the placement of the heating equipment.

[0211] Specifically, the difference between the first temperature value collected by the first temperature sensor and the second temperature value collected by the second temperature sensor is calculated to obtain the fourth temperature difference value; the difference between the second temperature value collected by the second temperature sensor and the third temperature value collected by the third temperature sensor is calculated to obtain the fifth temperature difference value; and the difference between the third temperature value collected by the third temperature sensor and the first temperature value collected by the first temperature sensor is calculated to obtain the sixth temperature difference value.

[0212] It is understandable that temperature sensors may have temperature acquisition errors at the factory or be subject to external environmental interference during actual use, which can easily lead to errors in the acquired temperature values. Therefore, error calibration is required when the heating equipment is started. When the heating equipment is first started, the temperature values ​​acquired by each temperature sensor are the ambient temperature values. At this time, the temperature values ​​acquired by the first, second, and third temperature sensors are read separately, and the differences between each pair are calculated to obtain the first temperature acquisition error value between the first and second temperature sensors, the second temperature acquisition error value between the second and third temperature sensors, and the third temperature acquisition error value between the third and first temperature sensors.

[0213] In some embodiments, during the testing of the placement of heating equipment, if the fourth, fifth, and sixth temperature differences are calculated, calibration is required based on their respective temperature acquisition error values. The calibration process can be as follows:

[0214] The difference between the first and second temperature values ​​is calculated to obtain the first calculation result. The difference between the first calculation result and the first temperature acquisition deviation value is calculated to obtain the fourth temperature difference value. The difference between the second and third temperature values ​​is calculated to obtain the second calculation result. The difference between the second calculation result and the second temperature acquisition deviation value is calculated to obtain the fifth temperature difference value. The difference between the third and first temperature values ​​is calculated to obtain the third calculation result. The difference between the third calculation result and the third temperature acquisition deviation value is calculated to obtain the sixth temperature difference value. By substituting the temperature acquisition deviation value into the temperature difference value between any two temperature sensors for calibration, the accuracy of the temperature difference calculation can be ensured, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent detection of the placement method of heating equipment.

[0215] Furthermore, by comparing the magnitudes of the first, second, and third temperature values, and based on the fourth and / or fifth and / or sixth temperature differences, the placement of the heating equipment can be determined.

[0216] In a first feasible implementation, if the first temperature value is greater than the second temperature value, the third temperature value is greater than the second temperature value, and the fourth and fifth temperature differences are both within the first difference range, then the heating device is determined to be placed vertically. Since the heating device generates hot airflow that automatically convects upwards during use, if the first temperature value is detected to be greater than the second temperature value, and the third temperature value is also greater than the second temperature value, it indicates that the temperature value collected by the first temperature sensor is greater than the temperature value collected by the second temperature sensor, and the temperature value collected by the third temperature sensor is also greater than the temperature value collected by the second temperature sensor. Therefore, it can be determined that the heating device is placed vertically. To ensure the accuracy of the detection, it can be further determined whether the fourth and fifth temperature differences are within the first difference range. If both the fourth and fifth temperature differences are within the first difference range, then the heating device is determined to be placed vertically. Understandably, since the first and third temperature sensors will have a vertical height difference during actual setup, different difference ranges can be set for the fourth and fifth temperature differences. In practical applications, the magnitude of the temperature difference variation is determined by the height difference between the temperature sensors. The specific difference range can be determined based on the vertical height difference between the first and second temperature sensors, and the numerical height difference between the third and second temperature sensors. Conversely, when there is no vertical height difference between the first and third temperature sensors, they can use the same first difference range.

[0217] In the second feasible implementation, when the heating device is placed horizontally with its air outlet facing downwards, the generated hot airflow will automatically convect upwards or converge on the horizontal plane. Since the first, second, and third temperature sensors are on the same plane, there will not be a significant difference between the temperature values ​​collected by each sensor. By setting a preset temperature difference value, it is determined whether the absolute value of the fourth temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature difference value. If the absolute value of the fourth temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature difference value, it indicates that the first and second temperature sensors are at the same height, and it can also be determined that the third temperature sensor is at the same height as the first and second temperature sensors. It is understood that the preset temperature difference value is less than the minimum value in the first difference range.

[0218] If the absolute value of the fourth temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature difference, the target rate of change of the temperature value collected by at least one of the first, second, and third temperature sensors can be determined. The method for determining the target rate of change of the temperature value is as follows: determine the initial temperature value and the final temperature value collected by at least one of the first, second, and third temperature sensors within a preset time period. Calculate the difference between the final temperature value and the initial temperature value to obtain the temperature change value within the preset time period; calculate the ratio of the temperature change value to the preset time period to obtain the target rate of change of the temperature value. If the target rate of change is less than or equal to the preset rate of change, it indicates that the hot airflow has not converged, therefore the placement of the heating equipment can be determined as a horizontal placement. If the target rate of change is greater than the preset rate of change, it indicates that the air outlet of the heating equipment is close to the horizontal plane, causing the hot airflow to converge and unable to diffuse into the indoor space, therefore the placement of the heating equipment can be determined as a downward-facing placement.

[0219] In the third feasible implementation, if the first temperature value is greater than the second temperature value and the first temperature value is greater than the third temperature value, it means that the temperature value collected by the first temperature sensor is simultaneously greater than the temperature values ​​collected by the second and third temperature sensors, and the fourth and sixth temperature differences are both within the second difference range. Therefore, the placement of the heating device can be determined as the first side-mounted method. The values ​​in the first and second difference ranges are not the same, for example: the first difference range is [2,4] and the second difference range is [5,8], or the first difference range is [5,8] and the second difference range is [2,4], etc. For specific settings, please refer to the detailed description of step S203 in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0220] In the fourth feasible implementation, if the first temperature value is less than the second temperature value, it means that the temperature collected by the first temperature sensor is less than the temperature collected by the second temperature sensor. Since the second temperature sensor is set higher than the first temperature sensor in the vertical direction when the heating device is placed upside down or in the second side-mounted position, it is necessary to further determine the difference range of the fourth temperature difference.

[0221] If the fourth temperature difference is within the third difference range, then the placement method of the heating equipment is determined to be the inverted placement method; if the fourth temperature difference is within the fourth difference range, then the placement method of the heating equipment is determined to be the second side placement method. The values ​​in the third and fourth difference intervals are not the same. For example, the third difference interval is [2,4] and the fourth difference interval is [5,8], or the third difference interval is [5,8] and the fourth difference interval is [2,4]. It can be understood that when the heating device is placed upside down or on its side, the height difference between the first and second temperature sensors in the vertical direction is different. The temperature difference with a larger height difference is greater than the temperature difference with a smaller height difference. Therefore, the minimum value in the difference interval with a larger height difference can be greater than the maximum value in the difference interval with a smaller height difference. This ensures that the upside-down and second-side-down placement of the heating device can be distinguished when the first temperature value is greater than the second temperature value. The above interval values ​​are just examples. In actual applications, the range of temperature difference is determined by the height difference of the temperature sensors. The specific difference interval setting can be determined based on the actual height difference of the temperature sensors.

[0222] It is understandable that, since the first and second side-placement methods are two opposing orientations, and the vertical and inverted placement methods are two opposing orientations, when the air outlet is rectangular, the first difference range can be the same as the third difference range, and the second difference range can be the same as the fourth difference range.

[0223] In some embodiments, if the placement of the heating equipment is determined to be abnormal, a specific error message indicating the abnormal placement can be output, or only a prompt message can be output to inform the user that the current placement is abnormal. Regardless of the prompting method used or not, the heating equipment can be stopped directly. The method for determining an abnormal placement method can be found in the description of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0224] In the embodiments of this application, the first to fourth feasible implementation methods described above can be implemented in combination or the corresponding judgment logic can be executed separately. The specific combination method can be implemented according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0225] It should be noted that if the three temperature sensors shown in Figure 31 are used, the judgment process differs except for the execution process of the second and fourth feasible implementation methods. For example, in the first feasible implementation method, the vertical placement method needs to be determined when the first temperature value is greater than the second and third temperature values, respectively; in the third feasible implementation method, the first side placement method needs to be determined when the first temperature value is greater than the second temperature value and the third temperature value is greater than the second temperature value.

[0226] For further details, please refer to the table below:

[0227] In this embodiment, the placement of the heating equipment can also be determined by the relative relationship shown in the table, where A represents the first temperature value collected by the first temperature sensor, B represents the second temperature value collected by the second temperature sensor, and C represents the third temperature value collected by the third temperature sensor. The judgment process in the relative relationship can be referred to the specific description of the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0228] In this embodiment, temperature sensors are installed on two sides of the heating device near the air outlet. Since the sensors are located on opposite sides with a vertical height difference, the principle of upward flow of hot air can be utilized. Based on the temperature differences collected by the sensors, various placement methods for the heating device can be determined, preventing incorrect placement and improving safety. Combining temperature data from at least three sensors enhances the accuracy of placement detection. Upon detecting an abnormal placement, a warning message can be output, and the heating device can be stopped. This ensures the heating device's safe operation and normal functioning, ultimately protecting it.

[0316] Obtain the current first placement mode of the heating device, and under the first placement mode, control the display to display in the first display mode;

[0317] When the placement of the heating device is detected to change from the first placement to the second placement, the second display mode corresponding to the second placement mode is determined based on the mapping relationship between the placement mode and the display mode. The placement modes of the heating device include vertical placement mode and horizontal placement mode.

[0318] Switch the first display mode to the second display mode, and control the display direction of the content displayed on the display to be in the target display direction when the heating device is in the first placement mode and the second placement mode.

[0319] Optionally, the display includes at least a dot matrix screen composed of multiple dot matrix light-emitting elements. When the processor 71 executes the command to control the display to display in the first display mode, it specifically performs the following:

[0320] Obtain the content to be displayed, and determine the first dot matrix light-emitting element used to display the content to be displayed in the first display mode;

[0321] Control each of the first dot matrix light-emitting elements to emit light in order to display the content to be displayed;

[0322] The device is also used for:

[0323] A second dot matrix light-emitting element is selected for displaying the content to be displayed in the second display mode;

[0324] Control each of the second dot matrix light-emitting elements to emit light in order to display the content to be displayed.

[0325] Optionally, when the processor 71 executes the process of determining the first dot-matrix light-emitting element used to display the content to be displayed in the first display mode, it specifically performs the following:

[0326] Based on the first correspondence between the displayed content and the dot matrix light-emitting element under the first display mode, the first dot matrix light-emitting element corresponding to the content to be displayed is determined.

[0327] When processor 71 determines the second dot-matrix light-emitting element to be used for displaying the content to be displayed in the second display mode, it specifically performs the following:

[0328] Based on the second correspondence between the displayed content and the dot matrix light-emitting element under the second display mode, the second dot matrix light-emitting element corresponding to the content to be displayed is determined.

[0329] Optionally, during the process of changing the placement of the heating device from the first placement method to the second placement method, the content displayed on the monitor is controlled to change from being displayed to being off;

[0330] When the placement of the heating device is detected to have changed to the second placement method, the display content on the monitor is changed from off to on.

[0331] Optionally, during the process of changing the placement of the heating device from the first placement method to the second placement method, the content displayed on the monitor is controlled to continue to be displayed;

[0332] When the placement of the heating device is detected to have changed to the second placement method, the display content on the monitor is controlled to change from the current display direction to the target display direction.

[0333] Optionally, when the processor 71 detects that the placement of the heating device has changed to a second placement method, and controls the display content on the monitor to change from the current display orientation to the target display orientation, the processor 71 specifically executes the following:

[0334] Determine the rotation direction from the current display direction to the target display direction;

[0335] Control the display content on the monitor to gradually rotate from the current display direction to the target display direction according to the rotation direction.

[0336] Optionally, processor 71 is also used to perform:

[0337] When the placement of the heating device is detected to have changed from the first placement method to an abnormal placement method, the display content on the monitor is turned off.

[0338] This application embodiment can obtain the first placement mode of the heating device. Under the first placement mode, the display is controlled to display in the first display mode. When it is detected that the placement mode of the heating device changes from the first placement mode to the second placement mode, the second display mode corresponding to the second placement mode is determined based on the mapping relationship between the placement mode and the display mode. The placement modes of the heating device include vertical placement and horizontal placement. When the first display mode is switched to the second display mode, the display direction of the content displayed on the display is controlled to be in the target display direction whether the heating device is in the first placement mode or the second placement mode. It can control the display to display according to the corresponding display mode under different placement modes, so that when the placement mode of the heating device is changed, the display direction of the content displayed on the display will not change with the change of placement mode, and will always be displayed in the target display direction, without requiring the user to turn their head or other means to view the display content. It can determine different dot matrix light-emitting elements for each content to be displayed under different placement modes, thereby ensuring that the display direction of the content displayed under different placement modes is the target display direction. The system pre-establishes a correspondence between displayed content and dot matrix light-emitting elements under different display modes. This allows for the determination of the appropriate dot matrix light-emitting elements based on the specific display mode and content during actual use, ensuring that the displayed content always faces the target display direction regardless of the placement. The system controls the display content to first turn off and then reappear as the placement changes, enhancing the richness of the display effect. It also controls the continuous display of content as the placement changes, and when the placement changes to a second mode, controls the display direction to change to the target display direction, further enhancing the richness of the display effect. Furthermore, when the placement changes to a second mode, the display direction is gradually rotated to achieve a progressively rotating display effect, enhancing the richness of the display effect. Finally, when the placement of the heating equipment changes from the first mode to an abnormal mode, the system turns off the displayed content to alert the user of the abnormal placement, reducing the risk of accidents during use and extending the lifespan of the heating equipment.
