In the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the humidity control apparatus includes a dehumidifier and a sweeping robot. The dehumidifier comprises a dehumidifying function component, a condensed water collecting component and an air inlet and outlet pipeline 60. Wherein the dehumidifying function includes a compressor 50 and a heat exchanger 40. The condensed water collecting assembly comprises a water receiving tray 10 and a clear water tank 20; the water pan 10 is arranged below the heat exchanger 40, and a water outlet 11 of the water pan 10 is communicated with the clean water tank 20. The air inlet pipeline comprises a first air inlet pipe communicated with the outdoor and a second air inlet pipe communicated with the indoor, and the air outlet pipeline comprises a first air outlet pipe communicated with the outdoor and a second air outlet pipe communicated with the indoor. The dehumidifier also comprises a first air inlet grid and a second air inlet grid which are arranged on the side surfaces and respectively connected with a first air inlet pipe and a second air inlet pipe.

Optionally, the air outlet pipeline and the air inlet pipeline are detachable structures, and corresponding installation pipelines can be selected according to seasons. For example, in hot and humid summer season, the first air inlet pipe and the first air outlet pipe can be detached. Optionally, the dehumidifier further comprises a sewage tank 30 for storing sewage generated by the sweeping robot. Further, the dirty water tank 30 and the clean water tank 20 are drawn out from the side of the dehumidifier.

The mopping robot 70 includes a humidity sensor, an electrically controlled water tank and a mop. Wherein, the humidity sensor is arranged on the shell of the mopping robot; the upper part of the electric control water tank is provided with a water filling port, and the lower part is provided with a water outlet. When the mopping robot needs to add water, the water can be moved to a clear water tank of the dehumidifier, and the clear water tank is filled with water to an electric control water tank of the mopping robot through a water filling port. The water outlet is used for supplying water to the mop so as to wet the ground. Optionally, the mopping robot further comprises an ultrasonic humidifier arranged inside the electric control water tank and a mist discharge port located on the electric control water tank. Optionally, the mopping robot further comprises a solenoid valve arranged at the water outlet. The opening degree of the electromagnetic valve can be adjusted according to requirements.

When the dehumidifier executes the dehumidification control scheme, the second air inlet grid is in an open state, and the first air inlet grid is in a closed state. Indoor air is introduced into the heat exchanger through the second air inlet pipe for heat exchange and dehumidification, and generated condensed water is stored in the clear water tank through the water receiving disc. The dehumidified air is sent into the room through the second air outlet pipe. The indoor air is dehumidified.

When the dehumidifier executes the humidification control scheme, the first air inlet grid is in an open state, and the second air inlet grid is in a closed state. At this time, the outdoor air is introduced into the heat exchanger through the first air inlet pipe to perform heat exchange and dehumidification, so as to generate condensed water. And the air after dehumidification is discharged to the outside through the first air outlet pipe. In this way, when the indoor air is dry and needs to be humidified, the outdoor air is introduced and dehumidified so as to generate condensed water for mopping and humidifying by the mopping robot.

With reference to fig. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for linkage humidity adjustment of a dehumidifier and a sweeping robot, including:

and S301, detecting indoor humidity by a humidity sensor under the condition that the mopping robot is in a cleaning state.

S302, under the condition that the detected humidity does not meet the comfortable humidity condition, the processor determines the target control scheme of the dehumidifier and the mopping robot.

And S303, controlling the dehumidifier and the mopping robot to execute a target control scheme by the processor.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the humidity sensor is arranged on the mopping robot. Thus, the robot can clean the room and detect the humidity of each position in the room. The humidity of each indoor part is accurately judged, and whether the indoor air needs to be humidity-regulated or not is determined. Here, the comfort humidity condition means a relative humidity in the range of 40% to 60%. If the detected humidity value is less than the lower limit value of the comfort humidity condition, i.e., 40%, it is determined that the indoor air needs to be humidified. At this time, the dehumidifier and the sweeping robot execute a target control scheme corresponding to air humidification. If the detected humidity value is greater than the upper limit value of the comfort humidity condition, i.e., 60%, it is determined that the indoor air needs to be dehumidified. At this time, the dehumidifier and the sweeping robot execute a target control scheme corresponding to air dehumidification. In addition, the dehumidifying robot has a cleaning function and a mopping function, and performs the mopping function after cleaning is completed.

By adopting the control method for linkage humidity adjustment of the dehumidifier and the mopping robot, provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, when the mopping robot cleans the floor, the indoor humidity can be obtained. And judging whether the indoor humidity meets the comfortable humidity condition, and controlling the dehumidifier and the mopping robot to execute a target control scheme corresponding to the indoor humidity under the condition of not meeting the comfortable humidity condition. Therefore, the humidity of each indoor position can be accurately obtained through the motion of the mopping robot. In addition, the indoor air humidity is adjusted through the linkage of the dehumidifier and the mopping robot. The condensed water of the dehumidifier and the cleaning process of the mopping robot are fully utilized, and the waste of resources is avoided.

Optionally, in step S302, in the case that the detected humidity does not satisfy the comfortable humidity condition, the processor determines a target control scheme for the dehumidifier and the mopping robot, including:

under the condition that the detected humidity is larger than the upper limit value of the comfortable humidity condition, the processor determines that the dehumidifier executes a dehumidification control scheme; and determining a target control scheme of the mopping robot according to the ground cleaning requirement.

In the case where the detected humidity is less than the lower limit value of the comfortable humidity condition, the processor determines that the dehumidifier and the wiping robot execute the humidification control scheme.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the indoor humidity is high, the dehumidifier executes the dehumidification control scheme. Namely, the dehumidifier dehumidifies the indoor air. The dehumidifier produces condensed water in the dehumidification process, and the condensed water is supplied to the mopping robot. So that the mopping robot can mop the floor. However, when the indoor humidity is high, if the mopping robot is controlled to mop the floor in order to consume the condensed water, the indoor humidity is inevitably increased. Therefore, here, whether the mopping robot executes the mopping command depends on the floor cleaning requirement. When the floor has a cleaning requirement, the mopping robot executes a mopping command. When the floor does not have the cleaning requirement, the mopping robot does not execute the mopping instruction.

When the indoor humidity is low, the dehumidifier executes the humidification control scheme, and meanwhile, the sweeping robot executes the humidification control scheme in a linkage mode. Here, the dehumidifier performing the humidification control scheme means that the dehumidifier introduces outdoor air, dehumidifies it, and collects condensed water. The mop robot linkage execution humidification control scheme means that the mop robot acquires condensed water from a dehumidifier, and the condensed water is utilized to humidify a mop so as to mop the floor and humidify indoor air.

Optionally, in step S303, the processor controls the dehumidifier to execute a target control scheme, including:

under the condition that the first air inlet pipe and the first air outlet pipe are in an open state, the processor controls the dehumidifier to execute a humidification control scheme so as to dehumidify outdoor air and collect condensed water.

And under the condition that the second air inlet pipe and the second air outlet pipe are in an open state, the processor controls the dehumidifier to execute a dehumidification control scheme so as to dehumidify the indoor air.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the air path of the dehumidifier is divided into two paths, namely an indoor air path and an outdoor air path. When the dehumidifier executes the humidification control scheme, the indoor air path is closed and the outdoor air path is opened. Namely, the first air inlet pipe and the first air outlet pipe are in an open state, and the condensed water is collected by dehumidifying the outdoor air. When the dehumidifier executes the dehumidification control scheme, the indoor air path is opened, and the outdoor air path is closed. Namely, the second air inlet pipe and the second air outlet pipe are in an open state so as to dehumidify the indoor air and reduce the humidity of the indoor air.

With reference to fig. 4, another control method for linkage humidification of a dehumidifier and a sweeping robot is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and includes:

s401, when the robot is in a cleaning state, the humidity sensor detects indoor humidity.

S402, under the condition that the detected humidity is smaller than the lower limit value of the comfortable humidity condition, the processor determines that the dehumidifier and the mopping robot execute a humidification control scheme.

And S403, under the condition that the first air inlet pipe and the first air outlet pipe are in an open state, the processor controls the dehumidifier to execute a humidification control scheme so as to dehumidify the outdoor air and collect condensed water.

S404, detecting the water level of the clean water tank by a detection element; under the condition that the water level of the clear water tank is greater than or equal to the first water level, the processor controls the dehumidifier to inject condensed water into the electric control water tank of the mopping robot; and controlling the mopping robot to mop the floor to humidify the indoor air.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the water level of the clear water tank of the dehumidifier is detected in the process of collecting condensed water by the dehumidifier. Wherein, can directly detect the clear water tank water level through water level detection sensor or water level meter etc.. Alternatively, the level of the clean water tank may be obtained in an indirect manner by weighing. Here, a first water level is set for defining whether the amount of water of the clean water tank is sufficient to be supplied to the wiping robot. When the water level of the clean water tank is greater than or equal to the first water level, the water quantity of the clean water tank is sufficient. In this case, water may be supplied to the wiping robot so that the wiping robot performs wiping and humidifying with the condensed water.

In addition, the current humidity of the indoor environment is detected in the mopping process of the mopping robot, and the mopping robot is controlled to stop when the current humidity reaches the target humidity. The current humidity of the humidified indoor environment can be acquired through a humidity sensor arranged on the dehumidifier or through other humidity sensors arranged in the indoor space. Here, the detection is not performed by a humidity sensor on the sweeping robot. This is because the indoor air is humidified by the wiping robot, the humidity of the air around the wiping robot is high, and the actual indoor humidity can be detected and represented.

Optionally, in step S404, the processor controls the mopping robot to mop the floor to humidify the indoor air, including:

and the processor determines the target opening of the electromagnetic valve according to the detected humidity and the target humidity.

The processor controls the electromagnetic valve to execute target opening degree so as to humidify the mop of the mopping robot.

Here, the mopping robot is provided with an electromagnetic valve at the water outlet of the electric control water tank for adjusting the humidity of the mop. Wherein, the target opening degree of the electromagnetic valve is related to the detected humidity and the target humidity. Generally, the larger the difference between the detected humidity and the target humidity, the larger the target opening degree of the solenoid valve. Thus, the greater the humidity of the mops, to aid in the humidification of the room air. The target humidity is a humidity value set by a user, and a lower limit value satisfying a humidity comfort condition may be set as a minimum target humidity when the target humidity is not set by the user.

Optionally, the processor determines the target opening degree of the electromagnetic valve according to the detected humidity and the target humidity, and includes:

the processor determines the target opening degree of the solenoid valve as a first opening degree in a case where a difference between the target humidity and the detected humidity is greater than or equal to the first humidity.

The processor determines the target opening degree of the solenoid valve as a second opening degree in a case where the difference is less than the first humidity and greater than or equal to a second humidity.

Under the condition that the difference value is smaller than the second humidity, the processor determines that the target opening degree of the electromagnetic valve is a third opening degree; the first opening degree is larger than the second opening degree, and the second opening degree is larger than the third opening degree.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, three opening degrees are set to avoid damage to devices caused by repeated adjustment of the electromagnetic valve. Each opening corresponds to a different detected humidity range. Specifically, a difference value between the target humidity and the detected humidity is calculated, and the opening degree of the electromagnetic valve is determined according to a humidity threshold value interval corresponding to the difference value. In this way, on the one hand, the moisture of the mop is matched to the moisture requirement, and on the other hand, the control of the solenoid valve is facilitated, avoiding repeated adjustment.

the detection element detects the water quantity of the electric control water tank of the mopping robot.

The processor controls the ultrasonic humidifier to stop when the water amount is less than the preset water amount; and controlling the mopping robot to move to the dehumidifier for water injection.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the water quantity of the electric control water tank is detected in real time in the floor mopping process of the mopping robot. If the water quantity is less than the preset water quantity, the water quantity of the electric control water tank is insufficient, and the dehumidifier needs to return to the dehumidifier for adding water. Therefore, the ultrasonic humidifier is controlled to stop, and the electromagnetic valve of the mopping robot is closed. After adding water, restarting to humidify the air.

With reference to fig. 5, another control method for linkage humidification of a dehumidifier and a sweeping robot is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and includes:

and S501, detecting indoor humidity by a humidity sensor under the condition that the mopping robot is in a cleaning state.

And S502, under the condition that the detected humidity is smaller than the lower limit value of the comfortable humidity condition, the processor determines that the dehumidifier and the mopping robot execute a humidification control scheme.

S503, under the condition that the first air inlet pipe and the first air outlet pipe are in an open state, the processor controls the dehumidifier to execute a humidification control scheme so as to dehumidify outdoor air and collect condensed water.

S504, detecting the water level of the clean water tank by a detection element; and under the condition that the water level of the clean water tank is greater than or equal to the first water level, the processor controls the dehumidifier to inject condensed water into the electric control water tank of the mopping robot, and controls the mopping robot to mop the floor to humidify the indoor air.

S505, detecting the dirt degree of the mop of the mopping robot by a detection element; and in the case that the dirt degree indicates that the mop cloth needs to be cleaned, the processor controls the mopping robot to move to the dehumidifier for cleaning the mop cloth.

S506, after the cleaning times of the mop are more than the preset times, the detection element detects the water level of the sewage tank; and under the condition that the sewage water level is greater than or equal to the sewage threshold value, the processor outputs a sewage tank water pouring prompt.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the dirt degree of the mop cloth of the mopping robot is detected in the mopping process of the mopping robot. Here, the degree of contamination of the mop cloth is determined by detecting the length of time the robot is mopped. Generally, the longer the mopping time, the more the degree of soiling. When the mop of the mopping robot needs cleaning, the mopping robot is controlled to move to the dehumidifier for cleaning the mop. The sewage generated by cleaning the mop is stored in the sewage tank. In order to avoid the sewage in the sewage tank exceeding the capacity of the tank body, the water level of the sewage tank needs to be detected. When the sewage water level is larger than or equal to the sewage threshold value, the user is prompted that the sewage tank is full of water and needs to be poured. Here, the amount of dirt generated by the cleaning of the mop is relatively small in order to avoid repeated detection by the detection element. And detecting the water level of the sewage tank after the cleaning times of the mop are set to be greater than the preset times. Wherein the preset number of times may be 3 times.

With reference to fig. 6, another control method for linkage humidification of a dehumidifier and a sweeping robot is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and includes:

and S601, under the condition that the mopping robot is in a cleaning state, detecting indoor humidity by a humidity sensor.

And S602, under the condition that the detected humidity is smaller than the lower limit value of the comfortable humidity condition, the processor determines that the dehumidifier and the mopping robot execute a humidification control scheme.

S603, under the condition that the first air inlet pipe and the first air outlet pipe are in an open state, the processor controls the dehumidifier to execute a humidification control scheme so as to dehumidify outdoor air and collect condensed water.

S604, detecting the water level of the clear water tank by using a detection element; under the condition that the water level of the clear water tank is greater than or equal to the first water level, the processor controls the dehumidifier to inject condensed water into the electric control water tank of the mopping robot; and controlling the mopping robot to mop the floor to humidify the indoor air.

And S605, controlling the operation of the ultrasonic humidifier by the processor under the condition that the mopping robot mops the floor for humidification.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the ultrasonic humidifier is arranged inside the electric control water tank of the mopping robot, and the electric control water tank is provided with the mist discharge port. Therefore, when the mopping robot mops and humidifies the floor, the ultrasonic humidifier works to atomize the water in the electric control water tank to form water mist. And the air is discharged into the room through the fog discharge port, so that the humidity of the indoor air is increased. That is, there are two ways to humidify the indoor air, one is to increase the humidity from the ground by wet mop, and the other is to increase the humidity in the air by spraying water mist to the indoor. Therefore, the indoor air can be humidified from multiple angles, and the humidity of the indoor air is improved.

With reference to fig. 7, another control method for linkage dehumidification of a dehumidifier and a mopping robot is provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, including:

and S701, detecting indoor humidity by a humidity sensor under the condition that the mopping robot is in a cleaning state.

S702, under the condition that the detected humidity is larger than the upper limit value of the comfortable humidity condition, the processor determines that the dehumidifier executes a dehumidification control scheme; and determining a target control scheme of the mopping robot according to the ground cleaning requirement.

And S703, under the condition that the second air inlet pipe and the second air outlet pipe are in an open state, the processor controls the dehumidifier to execute a dehumidification control scheme so as to dehumidify the indoor air.

S704, detecting the water level of the clean water tank by a detection element; and under the condition that the water level of the clear water tank is greater than or equal to the second water level, the processor acquires the current indoor humidity.

S705, under the condition that the difference value between the current indoor humidity and the target humidity is larger than the preset humidity, the processor outputs a water pouring prompt of the clean water tank; and after the clear water tank pours water, the dehumidifier is controlled to continue to execute the dehumidification control scheme.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the detection humidity is high, and the indoor air humidity is high. The dehumidifier executes a dehumidification control scheme to dehumidify the indoor air. And detecting whether the water level of the clear water tank reaches a second water level or not in the dehumidification process of the dehumidifier. The second water level is used to define whether the water volume is close to the pre-warning water level, where the pre-warning water level is lower than the highest water level. When the water level of the clean water tank reaches the second water level, the water quantity of the water tank is more. At this time, the current indoor humidity is detected. And comparing a difference between the current indoor humidity and the target humidity with a preset humidity. If the difference is larger than the preset humidity, the difference between the current indoor humidity and the target humidity is larger, and the dehumidifier is still required to continuously dehumidify. Therefore, in this case, the clear water tank water pouring prompt is output, and the dehumidifier is continuously controlled to execute the dehumidification scheme after water is poured. And if the difference is less than or equal to the preset humidity, indicating that the current indoor humidity is close to the target humidity. Under the condition, the dehumidifier can be controlled to stop and output a clear water tank water pouring prompt. At this time, since the current indoor humidity is close to the target humidity, the dehumidifier may be controlled to stop dehumidifying.

Wherein, the treater is according to the clean demand in ground, confirms the target control scheme of sweeping the robot, includes: and under the condition of receiving a floor mopping instruction, determining that the dehumidifier fills water into an electric control water tank of the mopping robot, and determining that the mopping robot executes the floor mopping instruction. Here, mopping may cause indoor humidity fluctuation at the time of dehumidification. Therefore, unless the mopping robot receives the mopping instruction, the mopping is not executed. Further, in order to reduce the influence on the indoor humidity, only the target area is mopped when the mopping instruction is executed.

In practical application, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a specific implementation process of a control method for linkage humidity conditioning of a dehumidifier and a sweeping robot, which is as follows:

the mopping robot starts a cleaning mode; detecting indoor humidity in the cleaning process;

judging whether the detected humidity is larger than the upper limit value of the comfortable humidity condition or not, or the detected humidity is smaller than the lower limit value of the comfortable humidity condition;
