Method and apparatus for controlling reset of movable component, and storage medium and processor
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for preventing hand clamping during the reset process of movable components in electronic equipment, such as air conditioners, are costly and require complex structures and sensor installations, leading to high application costs and potential errors.
Innovation Solution
A method involving controlling a movable component to move a first preset distance in one direction, then a second preset distance in the opposite direction, and finally to the reset position, with optional pauses and photoelectric detection for safety, reducing the need for complex sensors and structures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If photoelectric sensors and complex detection structures are installed to detect hand clamping, then safety is improved, but device complexity and application cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The movable component itself performs the safety function by automatically reversing direction when an obstacle is detected during reset, eliminating the need for external detection sensors. The component serves both its primary function and safety function, reducing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent removes complex photoelectric detection structures and external sensors from the system, retaining only the essential reset function with integrated obstacle detection capability that uses the component's own movement and positioning to ensure safety.
2Reliability
If photoelectric sensors and complex detection structures are installed to detect hand clamping, then safety is improved, but application cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The movable component integrates obstacle detection and safety reversal functionality into its own control logic, eliminating the need for expensive external photoelectric sensors and complex detection systems, thereby reducing application cost while maintaining safety.
3Productivity
If the movable component moves directly to the reset position without reverse movement, then productivity is improved, but hand clamping risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs a preliminary reverse movement before completing the reset to the final position. This preliminary action creates temporal separation that allows users to withdraw hands if clamped, preventing harm while still achieving the reset function efficiently.
Solution Approach 2:
The reset process incorporates periodic direction changes (forward movement followed by reverse movement) rather than continuous unidirectional motion. This periodic action pattern ensures safety by creating intervals where the component reverses, allowing users to escape potential clamping while maintaining overall productivity.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for controlling the reset of a moveable component, and a storage medium. The method includes: receiving a reset signal, herein the reset signal is configured to instruct the moveable component to move to a reset position; controlling the movable component to move a first preset distance along a first moving direction; controlling the moveable component to move a second preset distance along a second moving direction, herein the first moving direction is opposite to the second moving direction; and controlling the moveable component to move to the reset position.
