Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a sterilization apparatus provided in an embodiment of the present application. The sterilizing apparatus 1000 includes a cover 10 and a housing 20. The cover 10 and the housing 20 may be integrally formed. The cover 10 and the housing 20 may also be detachably connected, for example, the cover 10 and the housing 20 may be detachably connected by a snap structure or a magnetic attraction structure. When the cover 10 is closed, a receiving cavity is formed between the cover 10 and the housing 20, and the receiving cavity can receive and protect other components (such as the sterilization module 30 and the control module 40).

In some examples, the lid 10 and the housing 20 may be formed of a metal or alloy such as stainless steel, aluminum, or the like. Other suitable materials include various plastics (e.g., polycarbonate), ceramics, and the like.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the sterilization apparatus 1000 further includes a sterilization module 30 and a control module 40.

Wherein, disinfection module 30 sets up in holding the intracavity, and disinfection module 30 is used for disinfecting cosmetic equipment.

Of course, in other embodiments, the sterilization module 30 may also include any other module capable of sterilizing the beauty treatment apparatus, such as an anion generator for generating anions, and the like, which is not particularly limited in this application.

The control module 40 is electrically connected to the sterilization module 30, and the control module 40 is configured to control a sterilization duration of the sterilization module 30 and/or a sterilization power, i.e., the control module 40 can control at least one of the sterilization duration and the sterilization power of the sterilization module 30.

The control module 40 may be a Micro Controller Unit (MCU) or a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) controller.

The control module 40 includes at least one processor 41 and a memory 42, wherein the memory 42 may be built in the control module 40 or may be externally installed outside the control module 40, and the memory 42 may be a remotely installed memory and connected to the control module 40 through a network.

Memory 42, which is a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium, may be used to store non-volatile software programs, non-volatile computer-executable programs, and modules. The memory 42 may include a storage program area and a storage data area, wherein the storage program area may store an operating system, an application program required for at least one function; the storage data area may store data created according to the use of the terminal, and the like. Further, the memory 42 may include high speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, flash memory device, or other non-volatile solid state storage device. In some embodiments, the memory 42 may optionally include memory located remotely from the processor 41, which may be connected to the terminal over a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the internet, intranets, local area networks, mobile communication networks, and combinations thereof.

It should be noted that the hardware configuration of the disinfection device 1000 as shown in fig. 2 is only one example, and that the disinfection device 1000 may have more or fewer components than shown in the figures, may combine two or more components, or may have a different configuration of components, and that the various components shown in the figures may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software including one or more signal processing and/or application specific integrated circuits.

For example, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the disinfection device 1000 further comprises a sensing module 50. The sensing module 50 is electrically connected to the control module 40.

The sensing module 50 is at least partially disposed on the cover 10 shown in fig. 1, and the sensing module 50 is configured to output a sensing signal corresponding to the closing or opening of the cover 10 and transmit the sensing signal to the control module 40. For example, in an embodiment, the level of the sensing signal corresponding to the closing or opening of the cover 10 is a low level signal when the cover 10 is opened, and the level of the sensing signal corresponding to the closing of the cover 10 is a high level signal, which may set a first preset level to a high level, and if the control module 40 detects that the sensing signal is the first preset level, it is determined that the cover 10 is closed. Of course, in other embodiments, the sensing signal corresponding to the open state of the cover 10 may be a high level signal, and the sensing signal corresponding to the closed state of the cover 10 may be a low level signal, and at this time, the first preset level only needs to be set to be a low level.

In turn, the control module 40, upon determining whether the lid 10 has been closed, may determine whether the sterilizing apparatus 1000 is in working condition. Wherein, when it is determined that the cover 10 is closed, the sterilizing apparatus 1000 meets the working condition, and at this time, the sterilizing apparatus 1000 may start sterilizing the beauty appliance; otherwise, the working condition is not met, and the sterilizing apparatus 1000 cannot start sterilizing the beauty appliance. Therefore, when the cover 10 is opened, the body of the user can be prevented from being damaged by the disinfection operation performed by mistake, and the personal safety of the user can be protected.

In one embodiment, the sensing module 50 can be an electronic door switch, which is composed of a switch portion and a magnet portion. The switch part is formed by connecting, shaping and packaging a magnetic reed switch through a lead, one end of the lead is electrically connected with a power supply, and the other end of the lead is electrically connected with the control module 40 so as to input an induction signal to the control module 40; the magnet part is made of a magnet with a certain magnetic field intensity, is packaged in a plastic or alloy shell and is arranged on the cover 10. When the switch part and the magnet part are separated by a certain distance, the switch part is switched off, and the sensing signal received by the control module 40 is a low level signal; when the switch portion and the magnet portion approach to a certain distance, the switch portion is turned on to input a high level signal to the control module 40 through the power supply, that is, the sensing signal received by the control module 40 is a high level signal.

In another embodiment, the sensing module 50 may also be a mechanical limit switch with contacts. The limit switch may be disposed on the cover 10 or may be disposed on the housing 20. One end of the limit switch is electrically connected with the power supply, and the other end of the limit switch is electrically connected with the control module 40 so as to input the sensing signal to the control module 40. When the cover 10 is closed, the contact is pressed down, the limit switch is closed, so that a high-level signal is input to the control module 40 through the power supply, namely, the sensing signal received by the control module 40 is a high-level signal; when the cover 10 is opened, the contacts are bounced open, the limit switch is turned off, and the sensing signal received by the control module 40 is a low level signal.

It is understood that the above embodiments exemplarily show two implementations of the sensing module 50, and in other embodiments, other implementations may also be adopted, and the present application is not particularly limited thereto.

For another example, referring to fig. 3 again, the disinfecting apparatus 1000 further includes at least one module selected from a key module 60, a pressure detecting module 70, an infrared detecting module 80, and an ultrasonic detecting module 90. The key module 60, the pressure detection module 70, the infrared detection module 80 and the ultrasonic detection module 90 are all connected with the control module 40, and the key module 60, the pressure detection module 70, the infrared detection module 80 and the ultrasonic detection module 90 are all arranged in the accommodating cavity of the disinfection device 1000. The key module 60, the pressure detection module 70, the infrared detection module 80 and the ultrasonic detection module 90 can be used for detecting whether the beauty equipment is placed in the disinfection equipment, and particularly for detecting whether the beauty equipment is placed to a preset position.

The key module 60 is configured to output a key signal to the control module 40. One end of the key module 60 is electrically connected to the power supply, and the other end is electrically connected to the control module 40, so that a key signal is input to the control module 40. In one embodiment, when the beauty equipment is placed in the accommodating cavity of the sterilizing apparatus 1000, the key module 60 is pressed and the connection between the power supply and the control module 40 is established, and the level of the key signal is a high level signal; when the cosmetic device is not placed in the receiving cavity of the sterilizing device 1000, the key module 60 is released and the connection between the power supply and the control module 40 is disconnected, and the level of the key signal is a low level signal. If the second preset level corresponds to the high level signal, when the level of the key signal is the second preset level, the control module 40 may determine that the cosmetic device is placed in the accommodating cavity of the sterilizing apparatus 1000.

The pressure detecting module 70 is used for detecting pressure and outputting a first voltage signal corresponding to the pressure to the control module 40. When the beauty equipment is placed in the accommodating cavity of the sterilizing device 1000, the beauty equipment acts on the pressure detection module 70, the pressure is increased, the voltage corresponding to the first voltage signal is increased and is greater than the preset voltage threshold, that is, the control module 40 can determine that the beauty equipment is placed in the accommodating cavity of the sterilizing device 1000 when detecting that the voltage of the first voltage signal is greater than the preset threshold; when the beauty equipment is not placed in the receiving cavity of the sterilizing apparatus 1000, the beauty equipment leaves the pressure detecting module 70, the pressure is reduced to zero or close to zero, and the voltage corresponding to the first voltage signal is reduced to zero or close to zero, and then the control module 40 may determine that the beauty equipment is not placed in the receiving cavity of the sterilizing apparatus 1000.

The infrared detection module 80 is configured to output an infrared detection signal to the control module 40. In one embodiment, when the beauty equipment is placed in the accommodating cavity of the sterilizing apparatus 1000, the distance between the infrared detection module 80 and the sterilizing apparatus 1000 is less than the detection distance of the infrared detection module 80, and the level of the infrared detection signal is a high level signal; when the beauty equipment is not placed in the accommodating cavity of the sterilizing equipment 1000, the distance between the infrared detection module 80 and the sterilizing equipment 1000 is greater than the detection distance of the infrared detection module 80, and the level of the infrared detection signal is a low level signal. The third preset level corresponds to the high level signal, and when the level of the infrared detection signal is the third preset level, the control module 40 may determine that the beauty treatment apparatus is placed in the accommodating cavity of the sterilizing apparatus 1000.

The ultrasonic detection module 90 is configured to detect a distance from an obstacle in a direction in which the ultrasonic detection module 90 transmits the ultrasonic wave, and output a second voltage signal corresponding to the distance to the control module 40. When the beauty equipment is placed in the accommodating cavity of the sterilizing equipment 1000, the distance between the infrared detection module 80 and the sterilizing equipment 1000 is reduced and is smaller than the preset distance threshold, that is, the control module 40 can determine that the beauty equipment is placed in the accommodating cavity of the sterilizing equipment 1000 according to the fact that the detection distance corresponding to the second voltage signal is smaller than the preset distance threshold; when the beauty equipment is not placed in the accommodating cavity of the sterilizing apparatus 1000, the distance between the infrared detection module 80 and the sterilizing apparatus 1000 is increased and is greater than the preset distance threshold, and at this time, the control module 40 may determine that the beauty equipment is not placed in the accommodating cavity of the sterilizing apparatus 1000.

It is understood that the above embodiments exemplarily show various implementations for detecting whether the cosmetic device has been placed to the preset position, and in other embodiments, other implementations may also be adopted, and the present application is not particularly limited thereto.

For another example, in an embodiment, please continue to refer to fig. 3, the sterilization apparatus 1000 further includes a power detection module 100, a charge-discharge module 110, and a display module 120.

Wherein, the electric quantity detection module 100 is electrically connected with the control module 40, and the electric quantity detection module 100 is used for detecting the electric quantity of the battery in the disinfection device and transmitting the detection result to the control module 40. In turn, the control module 40 can obtain the current charge of the disinfection device (i.e. the charge of the battery) in real time.

In some embodiments, the power detection module 100 may include a power acquisition chip (e.g., a chip DS 2781) and a current detection resistor. The current output by the battery can form a voltage drop on the current detection resistor (namely, the resistor for detecting the current), and the current output by the battery can be determined by the electric quantity acquisition chip by acquiring the voltage drop and performing corresponding calculation, so that the electric quantity of the battery is determined. Meanwhile, since the resistance value of the current detecting resistor may change at different temperatures, the control module 40 can also compensate the detected voltage drop to correct the resistance value change of the current detecting resistor in the whole temperature range, so as to improve the detection accuracy of the electric quantity.

The charge-discharge module 110 is electrically connected to the control module 40 and an external input power source, and the charge-discharge module 110 is configured to control charge-discharge parameters of the battery in response to a control command of the control module 40. The charge and discharge parameters comprise charge and discharge current, charge and discharge time and other parameters.

In some embodiments, the charge-discharge module 110 includes a charge-discharge chip, such as a MAX8731 chip. When the charging and discharging parameters of the battery need to be controlled, the control module 40 outputs a corresponding control instruction to the charging and discharging chip, so that the charging and discharging chip executes a corresponding operation. For example, when the charging current of the battery needs to be reduced, the control module 40 outputs a control command for reducing the current to the charging and discharging chip, and the charging and discharging chip converts the current provided by the input power supply and then outputs the charging current corresponding to the control command to charge the battery.

In other embodiments, the power detection module 100 and the charge-discharge module 110 may be combined into a single module, so as to simultaneously implement the detection and control process of the battery power.

The display module 120 is electrically connected to the control module 40. The display module 120 can be used to display the power of the battery, the charging parameters of the battery, the disinfection duration of the beauty equipment, and the like, so that the user can clearly know the state of the disinfection equipment and the specific disinfection situation. In one embodiment, the display module 120 includes an LED display screen or an LCD display screen for display purposes.

The weight (or mass) of different beauty equipment is different, and the type of the beauty equipment can be determined according to the preset corresponding relation between the weight and the type through the weight of the beauty equipment. In some embodiments, the weight of the beauty apparatus can be obtained through the first voltage signal output by the pressure detection module 70 shown in fig. 3, so that the determination of whether the beauty apparatus is placed at the preset position and the determination of the type of the beauty apparatus can be simultaneously achieved only by providing the pressure detection module 70, which can reduce the cost.

In addition, if the weight of the NFC label and the weight of the beauty equipment are combined at the same time to determine the type of the beauty equipment, abnormal conditions caused by attachment errors of the NFC label or weight detection errors can be reduced, and the accuracy can be improved

In this embodiment, the current charge of the battery in the disinfection device is the current charge of the disinfection device.

In an embodiment, after the process of obtaining the current charge of the disinfection device in step 402 is performed, the disinfection method further comprises the steps of: and if the current electric quantity is smaller than a first preset electric quantity threshold value, stopping executing a corresponding disinfection mode configured for the beauty equipment based on the current electric quantity and the equipment type.

In particular, the current power being less than the first preset power threshold may correspond to the current power being insufficient to provide the disinfection device to perform a disinfection operation, which may result in the disinfection process being stopped due to insufficient battery power. It will be appreciated that if the unfinished sterilization operation is continued after the battery is charged, it will result in poor sterilization; if a new sterilization operation is resumed after the battery is charged, additional loss of power may result; if the charging and the disinfection operations are performed simultaneously, the whole disinfection device may generate heat seriously, and even the disinfection device may be damaged, that is, the service life of the disinfection device is shortened. Therefore, only when the power is greater than the first predetermined current threshold, the step 403 is executed continuously, so that the disinfection apparatus has better disinfection effect, less power consumption and longer service life. The first preset electric quantity threshold may be set according to an actual application situation, which is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application, for example, the first preset electric quantity threshold is set to a value greater than or equal to a duration of a disinfection operation.

Then, in an embodiment, after stopping executing the corresponding disinfection mode configured for the cosmetic device based on the current power and the device type, the disinfection method further comprises the following steps: and displaying the current electric quantity. And outputting a prompt signal to prompt a user to charge the disinfection equipment.

Specifically, the current power level can be displayed by the display module 120 shown in fig. 3, and a prompt signal, such as a text prompt or a voice prompt, is output, so that the user can determine that the current power level of the battery of the disinfection device is not sufficient to perform a disinfection operation, so as to prompt the user that the disinfection device needs to be charged.

After outputting the signal for prompting the user to charge, the disinfection method further comprises the following steps: and if the electric quantity of the disinfection equipment is charged to the second preset electric quantity threshold value and the cosmetic equipment is determined to be placed at the preset position, configuring a corresponding disinfection mode for the cosmetic equipment based on the current electric quantity and the equipment type.

And if the user receives the prompt, the disinfection equipment is connected with the charging equipment for charging. When the electric quantity of the battery in the disinfection device is charged to the second preset electric quantity threshold value, the disinfection device can perform at least one disinfection operation for the beauty device, and then the disinfection device can automatically continue to the step 403 and subsequent steps to automatically disinfect the beauty device, so that the working efficiency is improved. And the second preset electric quantity threshold value is larger than the first preset electric quantity threshold value. The second preset electric quantity threshold may be set according to an actual application situation, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application, for example, the second preset electric quantity threshold is set to be N times the first preset electric quantity threshold, where N is greater than 1.

Also, in some embodiments, in such a case, since the charging device is connected to the sterilizing device, there may be a case where the sterilizing operation and the charging operation are performed simultaneously, and then in order to reduce the temperature of the sterilizing device, the charging speed of the battery in the sterilizing device may be reduced by reducing the charging current of the battery, or the like, so as to reduce the speed at which the temperature of the sterilizing device rises. For example, in some embodiments, the sterilization method further comprises the steps of: when the cosmetic device is sterilized, if the sterilizing device is charged, the charging speed when the sterilizing device is charged is reduced to a first preset speed. In summary, as long as there is both a sterilization operation and a charging operation, the speed at which the battery in the sterilization apparatus is charged is reduced to reduce the risk of damaging the sterilization apparatus and to extend the lifetime of the sterilization apparatus. The first preset speed can be set according to practical application conditions, and is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the application, for example, the first preset speed is 1/K of the speed when a battery in the disinfection device is normally charged, wherein K is greater than 1; for another example, the first preset speed may be directly set to 0, and in this case, as long as the sterilization operation starts, even if the charging device is connected to the sterilization device, the sterilization device is also controlled not to be charged, which is beneficial to better reduce the overall temperature rise of the sterilization device, and further reduce the risk of damaging the sterilization device.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, after obtaining the type of the cosmetic device in step 402, the sterilization method further includes the steps of:

step 601: and judging whether the type of the beauty equipment is matched with a preset type.

Step 602: and if the type of the beauty equipment is matched with the preset type, acquiring the current electric quantity of the disinfection equipment.

Step 603: and if the type of the beauty equipment is not matched with the preset type, stopping executing to obtain the current electric quantity of the disinfection equipment.

In this embodiment, the preset includes the type (i.e., preset type) of the at least one beauty treatment apparatus. Then, it should be determined whether the type of the current cosmetic device corresponds to the preset type, and the step of obtaining the current electric quantity of the disinfection device and the subsequent steps are continuously performed only if the type of the current cosmetic device corresponds to the preset type, that is, only if the type of the cosmetic device is one of the preset types. For example, the preset types include A, B, C, and if the type of the obtained beauty equipment is a, B or C, the step of obtaining the current electric quantity of the disinfection equipment and the subsequent steps can be continuously executed; otherwise, the step of obtaining the current electric quantity of the disinfection equipment and the subsequent steps are stopped. Thus, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of an abnormal situation in which the user is erroneously sterilized when placing other devices that do not need sterilization into the sterilizing apparatus.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the specific content of configuring the corresponding disinfection mode for the cosmetic device in step 403 based on the current power and the device type includes the following steps:

step 701: and determining the electric quantity interval of the current electric quantity.

Step 702: configuring a corresponding disinfection mode for the beauty equipment according to a preset electric quantity interval, a corresponding relation between the equipment type and the disinfection mode and the electric quantity interval in which the current electric quantity is positioned.

Specifically, the preset electric quantity interval comprises at least one electric quantity interval, namely, at least one electric quantity interval is preset, and each electric quantity interval corresponds to one equipment type and one disinfection mode respectively. After the current electric quantity and the equipment type are obtained, the electric quantity interval where the current electric quantity is located can be found, and the disinfection mode can be determined by combining the equipment type.

Table 1 shows the correspondence between the preset electric power amount interval, the type of the device, and the sterilization mode.

TABLE 1

As shown in table 1, in this embodiment, three types of devices and three power intervals are taken as an example for description. The three types of devices include a device type a1, a device type a2, and a device type a3. The three electric quantity intervals include a first electric quantity interval, a second electric quantity interval and a third electric quantity interval, wherein the range of the first electric quantity interval is [ b1, b2], the range of the second electric quantity interval is (b 2, b3], and the range of the third electric quantity interval is (b 3, b4], wherein b1, b2 and b3 are numerical values with different sizes, and the specific numerical value can be set according to the actual application condition, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Because three equipment types and three power intervals are included, the disinfection device can correspond to 9 disinfection modes (including a first disinfection mode to a ninth disinfection mode) in total, and any two disinfection modes in the 9 disinfection modes can be the same disinfection mode or different disinfection modes.

Also, in one embodiment, different disinfection modes may correspond to different disinfection durations and/or disinfection powers, that is, configuring the corresponding disinfection mode for the cosmetic device in step 403 may include the following steps: configuring the cosmetic device with a corresponding disinfection duration and/or disinfection power. Specifically, configuring the corresponding disinfection mode for the cosmetic device includes configuring a corresponding disinfection duration for the cosmetic device, or configuring a corresponding disinfection power for the cosmetic device, or configuring a corresponding disinfection duration and disinfection power for the cosmetic device. In other words, different disinfection durations, or different disinfection powers, or different disinfection durations and disinfection powers can be obtained in different disinfection modes to achieve a more effective disinfection effect. The disinfection duration and the disinfection power can be set according to practical application conditions, and the embodiment of the application does not specifically limit the disinfection duration and the disinfection power.

Then, the disinfection mode can be determined by finding the electric quantity interval where the current electric quantity is located and combining the type of the equipment. For example, if the device type is a1 and the current power is in the first power interval, the corresponding disinfection mode is configured for the cosmetic device as the first disinfection mode.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, only the manner of including three types of devices and three power intervals is exemplarily shown, and in other embodiments, other dividing manners may be adopted, for example, more than three types of devices and three power intervals may be preset to divide more sterilization modes for improving the precision. In addition, in other embodiments, other manners may also be adopted to configure the corresponding disinfection mode for the cosmetic device, for example, a manner of setting options for the user to manually select, which is not specifically limited by the examples of the present application.

In one embodiment, the sterilization method further comprises the steps of: when the cosmetic device is sterilized, if the sterilizing device does not meet the working condition, the sterilization of the cosmetic device is stopped.

As long as the disinfection equipment does not accord with the working condition in any disinfection process of the beauty equipment, the disinfection process is stopped immediately to prevent the accidents of user injury and the like, and the reliability of the disinfection process is improved. For example, when whether the cap is closed is used as a criterion for judging whether the sterilizing apparatus meets the working condition, the sterilizing of the cosmetic apparatus is stopped as long as the cap is opened during the sterilizing of the cosmetic apparatus.

In another embodiment, the sterilization method further comprises the steps of: when the cosmetic equipment is disinfected, if the disinfection equipment meets the working condition and the first time length is determined to be larger than a first preset time length threshold value according to the equipment detection signal, the disinfection of the cosmetic equipment is stopped, wherein the first time length is the time length when the cosmetic equipment is not placed to the preset position.

In this embodiment, when the cosmetic device is sterilized, if whether the cover is closed is used as a criterion for determining whether the sterilizing device meets the working condition, the sterilizing device can be kept closed corresponding to the case when the sterilizing device meets the working condition. In this case, the time length (i.e., the first time length) during which the beauty apparatus is not placed at the preset position is determined by the apparatus detection signal, and if the first time length is greater than the first preset time length threshold value, it is determined that the beauty apparatus has been removed from the preset position, i.e., the beauty apparatus is not in the preset position, and at this time, the sterilization process should be stopped.

The first preset time threshold is a preset time threshold, and can be set according to practical application conditions, and the embodiment of the application does not specifically limit the time threshold, for example, in some embodiments, the first preset time threshold can be set to be 2 seconds, and only when the first time is longer than 2 seconds, the disinfection of the beauty equipment is stopped, so that the disinfection process can be prevented from being stopped mistakenly due to the vibration of the disinfection equipment, and the stability of the disinfection process is favorably maintained.

In one embodiment, the sterilization method further comprises the steps of: when the cosmetic device is sterilized, if the first condition or the second condition is met, a second time length for sterilizing the cosmetic device is acquired. And if the second time length is not less than the second time length threshold value, stopping disinfecting the beauty equipment.

The first condition is that the disinfection equipment meets the working condition, and the first time length is determined to be not more than a first preset time length threshold value according to the equipment detection signal. The second condition is that the disinfection equipment meets the working condition, and the cosmetic equipment is determined to be kept at the preset position according to the equipment detection signal.

Similarly, whether the cover is closed is taken as an example of a criterion for judging whether the sterilizing apparatus meets the working conditions. In this embodiment, two ways of determining that the cosmetic device is held in the preset position during the sterilization of the cosmetic device are provided. The first way is that the lid remains closed (i.e. corresponding to the sterilisation device being in working condition) and it is determined from the device detection signal that the cosmetic device remains placed in the preset position, this way corresponding to the second condition. The second mode is that the cover is kept closed, and the duration (namely the first duration) that the cosmetic device is not placed to the preset position is determined to be not more than a first preset duration threshold through the device detection signal, it is determined that the cosmetic device may temporarily leave the preset position due to the fact that the disinfection device is shaken and the like, but the cosmetic device is located at the preset position again due to the fact that the disinfection device is stable in a short time, the situation is still determined at the preset position, misjudgment caused by the reasons that the disinfection box shakes and the like is reduced, and the mode corresponds to the first condition.

In the process of disinfecting the beauty equipment, the cover is kept closed, and the beauty equipment is kept at the preset position, so that the disinfection duration (namely the second duration) of the beauty equipment can be obtained in real time to determine the moment when the disinfection is finished. When the second time length is less than the second time length threshold value, the disinfection is not finished correspondingly; and when the second time length is not less than the second time length threshold value, the disinfection is finished, namely, the disinfection of the beauty equipment is stopped. After configuring the corresponding disinfection mode according to the type of the beauty equipment, the total disinfection time for the beauty equipment is determined, the total disinfection time is the second time threshold, and the size of the second time threshold can be set according to the actual application situation, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a flowchart of a sterilization method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 8, after the disinfection apparatus is powered on, the disinfection apparatus is in a dormant state in which the disinfection apparatus does not perform any substantial work. Then, whether the cover is closed (namely whether the working condition is met) is judged, and if the cover is not closed, the disinfection equipment still keeps the dormant state. If the cover is closed, whether the key module is pressed down is judged (namely whether the beauty equipment is placed to a preset position is judged according to the equipment detection signal output by the key module). If the key module is not pressed, the disinfection equipment still keeps a dormant state. And if the key module is pressed down, determining that the beauty equipment is placed at the preset position. Then, acquiring the type of the beauty equipment, judging whether the type of the beauty equipment is a type meeting the requirements, specifically judging whether the type of the beauty equipment is matched with a preset type or not, and if the type of the beauty equipment is matched with the preset type, judging that the type of the beauty equipment is the type meeting the requirements; otherwise, the type is not qualified. If the type is not qualified, a corresponding prompt is given, for example, an indicator light regularly flashes or a buzzer is adopted, and then the disinfection device is kept in a dormant state to wait for a user to perform subsequent operation. If the type is the type meeting the requirements, matching a corresponding disinfection mode for the beauty equipment according to the type, and starting to disinfect. And then, further acquiring the current electric quantity of the battery in the disinfection equipment, and judging whether the current electric quantity is smaller than a first preset electric quantity threshold value. If the current electric quantity is smaller than a first preset electric quantity threshold value, determining that the current electric quantity is insufficient to execute a disinfection operation, and performing corresponding prompt, such as display through a display screen or voice prompt, to prompt a user to charge the disinfection equipment; and if the current electric quantity is not less than the first preset electric quantity threshold value, determining that the current electric quantity can meet the requirement of executing one disinfection operation. And then, according to the current electric quantity and type, and the preset corresponding relation between the electric quantity interval and the equipment type and the disinfection mode, determining the disinfection mode configured for the beauty equipment, and starting to disinfect the beauty equipment. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the type is determined first and then the current electric quantity is determined as an example, but in other embodiments, the current electric quantity may be determined first and then the type is determined, which is not limited in this application.

Then, in the process of sterilizing the beauty equipment, whether the cover is opened or not (whether the cover is not closed or not) is judged in real time. And if the cover is opened, stopping sterilizing the beauty equipment, namely finishing the sterilization, and returning to keep the sterilizing equipment in a dormant state. If the cover is not opened, whether the key module is released or not is judged (whether the key module is not pressed or not can also be judged). If the key module is released, whether the released time length of the key module is greater than a first preset time length threshold value is further judged so as to determine whether the key module is released due to vibration. If the loosening time is longer than the first preset time threshold, the cosmetic equipment is determined to be moved away from the disinfection equipment, namely the cosmetic equipment is not located at the preset position, the cosmetic equipment is stopped to be disinfected at the moment, namely the disinfection is finished, and the disinfection equipment is returned to be kept in a dormant state. And if the releasing time length is not greater than the first preset time length threshold value, the beauty equipment is still kept at the preset position. Of course, if the key module is not released, it is also determined that the beauty equipment is kept at the preset position. In this case, it is only necessary to obtain the time length (i.e., the second time length) for sterilizing the beauty equipment and determine whether the time length for sterilizing is greater than the second time length threshold. If the second time length is greater than or equal to the second preset time length threshold value, the disinfection finishing time can be determined, the cosmetic equipment is stopped being disinfected at the time, namely the disinfection is finished, and the disinfection equipment is returned to be kept in the dormant state. If the second time length is less than the second preset time length threshold value, the disinfection equipment is kept to be disinfected, and whether the cover is opened or not is kept to be judged.

In summary, in this embodiment, before the cosmetic device is sterilized, it is determined whether the cover is closed, whether the key module is pressed, whether the electric quantity of the battery in the sterilization device meets the electric quantity requirement, and whether the type of the cosmetic device meets the requirement, so as to accurately determine the object to be sterilized, the sterilization environment, and the current state of the sterilization device, thereby achieving a more effective sterilization effect, achieving less energy consumption, reducing germs on the head of the cosmetic device, and reducing the risk of damage to the health of the user. In the disinfection process, various conditions (such as whether the cover is opened) for disinfecting the beauty equipment are detected in real time, so that the stability and the high efficiency of the disinfection process of the beauty equipment are realized, and the personal safety of a user is protected.
