In order to solve the above problems, in the embodiment of the present invention, the operation parameters of the heating device in the steam generating device are obtained in real time, and whether scaling is likely to occur in the heating device and the heating cavity is determined according to the operation parameters. After the scale is judged to be possibly formed according to the operation parameters, winning prompt information is further generated according to the operation parameters, and a user is reminded to clean the steam generating device through the prompt information so as to ensure the stable operation of the steam generating device.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8, the operation parameter includes an operation duration, and at this time, the control method specifically includes:
step S802, acquiring the operation time of a heating device of the steam generating device;
step S804, determining that the running time is greater than or equal to a preset time threshold, and generating cleaning prompt information.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9, the operation parameter includes an operation number, and at this time, the control method specifically includes:
step S902, obtaining the operation times of a heating device of the steam generating device;
and step S904, determining that the running times are greater than or equal to a preset time threshold, and generating cleaning prompt information.
And judging whether the heating device and the second cavity for heating are possibly scaled or not by the system according to the operation duration of the heating device. Specifically, when the operation duration is longer than or equal to the preset duration, the scale is determined to be possibly high, and at the moment, cleaning prompt information is generated to prompt a user to clean the steam generating device in time so as to ensure the operation effect of the steam generating device.
The operation parameters comprise the operation times, and the system judges whether the heating device and the second cavity for heating are possibly scaled according to the operation times of the heating device. The operation times can be the power-on times of the heating device or the times of the heating device completing the corresponding heating period. Specifically, when the operation times is greater than or equal to the preset times, the scale is determined to be possibly high, and at the moment, cleaning prompt information is generated to prompt a user to clean the steam generating device in time so as to ensure the operation effect of the steam generating device.
In the above embodiment, the prompt message may be a voice prompt message. Specifically, the steam generating device is provided with a sound generating device such as a loudspeaker, and different voice prompt audios are prestored in the memory. When the system judges that cleaning needs to be prompted to the user, the controller searches the corresponding voice prompt audio in the memory and plays the voice prompt audio, and the user is prompted immediately.
In some embodiments, the prompt may be a text prompt. Specifically, the steam generating device is provided with a liquid crystal display screen, and when the system judges that cleaning needs to be prompted to a user, the liquid crystal display screen displays corresponding character information. In order to increase the prompting effect, a simple sound-producing device such as a buzzer can be used for simultaneously producing prompting sound so as to attract the attention of a user.
In some embodiments, the steam generating device has a wireless connection function, and can transmit the prompt message to a mobile phone terminal or the like held by the user through the wireless connection function. When the system judges that cleaning needs to be prompted to the user, the steam generating device sends prompting information to the mobile phone of the user so as to realize remote prompting.
Wherein, for some embodiments, the range of the preset duration threshold is: greater than or equal to 60 minutes and less than or equal to 2000 minutes; the range of the preset times threshold is as follows: 50 times or more and 2000 times or less.
For other embodiments, the preset duration threshold ranges are: greater than or equal to 60 minutes and less than or equal to 1500 minutes; the range of the preset times threshold is as follows: more than or equal to 50 times and less than or equal to 1500 times.
For still other embodiments, the range of the preset duration threshold is: greater than or equal to 60 minutes and less than or equal to 1000 minutes; the range of the preset times threshold is as follows: 50 times or more and 1000 times or less.
It is understood that the ranges of the preset time duration and the preset times are not limited to the ranges provided above, and may be freely set according to the user's habits or the local water quality conditions.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 10, the control method of the steam generating apparatus further includes:
step S1002, receiving a cleaning signal, and controlling a cleaning component of the steam generating device to work according to the cleaning signal;
and step S1004, acquiring a reset signal, and clearing the operation time length and the operation times according to the reset signal.
In this embodiment, the steam generating device comprises a cleaning assembly, by means of which the heating device or the second chamber for heating can be cleaned automatically. When receiving the cleaning signal, the cleaning assembly is controlled to work according to the cleaning signal so as to finish automatic cleaning. Wherein, the cleaning signal comprises a plurality of cleaning intensities, and cleaning procedures with different intensities can be implemented according to the scaling condition. The cleaning signal can be sent out through a physical case arranged on the steam generating device, and the cleaning signal can also be sent out remotely through a mobile phone program.
Meanwhile, after automatic cleaning or manual cleaning, the reset signal is received, and the operation time length and the operation times are reset according to the reset signal, so that the cleaning signal is prevented from being repeatedly sent. If the automatic cleaning is carried out through the cleaning component, the reset signal is automatically generated when the automatic cleaning program is finished. If the user manually disassembles and cleans, the user may send a reset signal by pressing the reset case.
EXAMPLE III

step S1102, detecting that the working time of the garment steamer reaches T1 minutes by a controller;
step S1104, controlling a controller of the garment steamer to prompt a user to clean the garment steamer;
step S1106, after starting automatic cleaning or manual disassembly, pressing a reset key;
in step S1108, the cleaning cycle is recalculated until T1 minutes is detected, and the process returns to step S1104.
Wherein T1 is the predetermined time length threshold value, and after the controller detected that garment steamer operating time reached T1 minutes, the controller of control garment steamer work prompted the user to wash the garment steamer. The prompt can be a voice prompt or a prompt of 'whistling device plus character display'. The user can select manual cleaning and then reset or automatic cleaning. And then recalculating the cleaning period and entering the next cycle.
Wherein T1 is more than or equal to 60 minutes and less than or equal to 2000 minutes; or
T1 is more than or equal to 500 minutes and less than or equal to 1500 minutes; or
T1 is more than or equal to 500 minutes and less than or equal to 1000 minutes.
