It should be noted that the control unit compares the distance measured by the pitch distance sensor with a preset pitch distance, and when there is no obstacle, obtains the maximum pitch angle of the fan unit, which is a preset maximum pitch angle, for example, 90 degrees. If the control unit judges that the distance between the obstacle and the fan unit is smaller than or equal to the preset pitching distance, the control unit calculates the maximum pitching angle of the fan unit under the premise that the fan unit does not collide with the obstacle, and controls the fan unit to adjust to the maximum pitching angle under the premise that the fan unit does not collide with the obstacle.
It should be further noted that the fan unit is kept still at the maximum pitch angle and reciprocates between the preset initial position and the maximum pitch angle, which are two modes of the fan unit and can be selected according to the needs.
In some embodiments, the control unit is configured to monitor the usage degree of the filtering unit, and remind a user when the usage degree of the filtering unit is monitored to reach a preset threshold.
In some embodiments, the fan unit has a pitch angle ranging from 0 degrees to 90 degrees.
It should be noted that 0 degree is a preset initial position of the fan unit in the horizontal position, 90 degrees is a preset maximum pitch angle, and when the distance fed back to the control unit by the pitch distance sensor is greater than the preset pitch distance, the fan unit is adjusted to the preset maximum pitch angle by 90 degrees.
In some embodiments, the control unit is configured to calculate a wind sweeping angle of the fan unit in the horizontal direction according to the distance information fed back by the at least 4 lateral distance sensors, and control the fan unit to rotate to sweep according to the wind sweeping angle.
It should be noted that, the distance measured by the lateral distance sensor is fed back to the control unit, the control unit compares the distance measured by the lateral distance sensor with a preset lateral distance, if the distance measured by the lateral distance sensor is less than or equal to the preset lateral distance, it indicates that the directional obstacle is close, at this time, the efficiency of air replacement flow for sweeping the reverse direction is low, and therefore, the wind sweeping in the direction is abandoned, and if the distance measured by the lateral distance sensor is greater than the preset lateral distance, it indicates that the directional obstacle is far, and it is determined that the wind is swept in the direction.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, for a schematic view of a placement position of an air purifier, taking 4 lateral distance sensors as an example, the placement position is a, and when looking down at a vertical time angle, the user can see that the distances between the 4 lateral distance sensors are the same, and the placement positions are respectively placed at 0 degree, 90 degree, 180 degree and 270 degree, if the control unit determines that the distances between 0 degree and 90 degree are smaller than a preset lateral distance according to the distances measured by the lateral distance sensors, the air purifier does not sweep wind in the directions of 0 degree and 90 degree, at this time, the nearest neighboring sensor to the lateral distance sensor that determines not to sweep wind is searched, the nearest neighboring sensor to the lateral distance sensor of 0 degree is the lateral distance sensor of 270 degree, the nearest neighboring sensor to the lateral distance sensor of 90 degree is the lateral distance sensor of 180 degree, and then the angle between 180 degree and 270 degree is taken as the calculated wind sweeping angle, and controlling the fan unit to rotate according to the wind sweeping angle to sweep wind.

Therefore, the intelligent wind sweeping mode control under the condition that various lateral distance sensors are shielded is realized.
