本实施例中，除湿机中存储有水位-剩余时间对照表，该对照表可通过除湿机的运行试验得到。例如，可通过将当前水位为a1的除湿机放入常见除湿环境中持续运行，并记录下水箱2水位达到最高水位时，除湿机所运行的时间t1（即为剩余时间），类似地，将当前水位为a2（大于a1）的除湿机放入常见除湿环境中持续运行，并记录下水箱2水位达到最高水位时，除湿机所运行的时间t2，如此这般，以得到大量的水位与剩余时间的数量对应关系，并整理为水位-剩余时间对照表，并存储至除湿机中。如此，当通过水位传感器3检测得到所述当前水位后，控制器4可从水位-剩余时间对照表查表得到与所述当前水位对应的剩余时间。本申请的技术方案中，一方面设有水位传感器3，从而能通过该水位传感器3来检测水箱2内的当前水位，以便于在水箱2中水位较高时及时将水箱2中的水排出或者倒出；另一方面设有用以获取水箱2中水达到预设水位的剩余时间的控制器4，从而能获知除湿机还能运行多久，水位才会达到预设水位，如此，用户就不用过一段时间就去看一下水箱2中水的水位是否过高了，也能减少除湿机因水位过高而停机了很久用户还不知道的情况发生，提高用户体验。
在一实施例中，除湿机还包括：水位设置模块，用以设置所述预设水位，并与控制器4电连接；控制器4用以至少根据所述当前水位和所述预设水位，确定所述剩余时间。
本实施例中，用户可通过所述水位设置模块设置所述预设水位，如此，可满足用户的可操作性，例如，力气小的用户可以把所述预设水位设置得小一些，减短除湿机的运行时间，水箱2中的储水量就会少一点，用户搬运水箱2时去倒水时不那么吃力；反之，力气大的用户可以把所述预设水位设置得大一些，延长除湿机运行的时间，水箱2中多储一点水，减少用户所需搬运水箱2去倒水的次数。当然，若用户不进行所述预设水位的设置时，所述预设水位默认为厂家设定的水箱2的最高水位。
本实施例中，由于不同的用户所设置的所述预设水位可能会不同，故而，在相同的当前水位时，所述预设水位与所述当前水位之间的水位差会有不同，也即，会导致对于相同的当前水位，水位到达不同用户设置的预设水位，所需的时间（剩余时间）会有不同。
本实施例中，除湿机中存储有水位差-剩余时间对照表，类似于前述的水位-剩余时间对照表，该对照表可通过除湿机的运行试验得到。如此，当通过水位传感器3检测得到所述当前水位后，控制器4可先获取所述预设水位与所述当前水位之间的当前水位差，再从水位差-剩余时间对照表查表得到与所述当前水位差对应的剩余时间。
本实施例中，所述预设水位的设置方式可但不限于包括以下四种方式中的一种或多种：
方式一：水位设置模块包括水位设置按键，用户可通过该水位设置按键进行所述预设水位的设置。通常地，该水位设置按键设置在机身1上。可以理解，实体按键成本较低。
方式二：水位设置模块包括触控屏，触控屏上设有虚拟水位设置按钮，用户可通过所述虚拟水位设置按钮进行所述预设水位的设置。通常地，该触控屏设置在机身1上。可以理解，触控屏有利于参数设置的可视化。
方式三：水位设置模块包括遥控信号接收器，除湿机还配置有遥控器，所述遥控信号接收器用以接收遥控器所发送的水位设置遥控信号，也即，用户可通过遥控器实现所述预设水位的遥控设置，使得用户可以不用靠近除湿机，也能对所述预设水位进行设置。
方式四：水位设置模块包括通信模块，该通信模块用以与外部终端进行通信，以接收外部终端所发送的水位设置信息，也即，用户可通过外部终端（例如电脑、手机、平板电脑等）上的相关应用程序（APP）来远程设置所述预设水位，使得即使用户不在家，也能对所述预设水位进行设置。
在前一实施例中，控制器4用以根据所述当前水位和所述预设水位，确定所述剩余时间。然本设计不限于此，于另一实施例中，控制器4还可用以获取除湿机的除湿速率，并用以至少根据所述当前水位和所述除湿速率，确定所述剩余时间。
本实施例中，所述预设水位通常为在除湿机出厂前由厂家设定的水箱2的最高水位，如此，只要所述当前水位确定了，就能确定水位到达最高水位所需的水量；除湿机中存储有水位-剩余水量对照表，如此，当通过水位传感器3检测得到所述当前水位后，控制器4可从水位-剩余水量对照表查表得到，与所述当前水位对应的水位到达最高水位所需的水量；继而，可根据该水量与所述除湿速率，确定所述剩余时间。本实施例中，所述除湿速率通常表征为产生除湿水的速率。
可以理解，当除湿机所处环境中空气中的水蒸气含量不同时，在除湿机运行功率既定的情况下，除湿机的除湿速率会有一定的差异。本实施例的技术方案在确定所述剩余时间时，不仅根据所述当前水位，还根据所述除湿速率，如此，可提高所确定得到的剩余时间的准确性。
本实施例中，除湿机还包括：温度传感器51，用以检测环境的当前温度；以及湿度传感器52，用以检测环境的当前相对湿度；温度传感器51和湿度传感器52均与控制器4电连接。
可以理解，空气中的水蒸气含量与所处环境的温度和相对湿度相关，例如，相对湿度相同的情况下，温度越高，水蒸气含量越高；又例如，温度相同的情况下，相对湿度越高，水蒸气含量越高。本实施例中，控制器4根据所述当前温度和所述当前相对湿度，确定所述除湿速率。
进一步地，除湿机中预存有环境温度-相对湿度-除湿速率对照表；控制器4根据所述当前温度和所述当前相对湿度，来对环境温度-相对湿度-除湿速率对照表进行查表，以确定除湿速率。
本实施例中，所述环境温度-相对湿度-除湿速率对照表可通过除湿机的运行试验得到。例如，可通过将除湿机放入温度为T1、相对湿度为H1的除湿环境中持续运行，并记录下除湿机运行时间Δt后，所产生的除湿水体积V1，并根据该除湿水体积V1与该时间Δt得到此除湿环境下的除湿速率s11，类似地，将除湿机放入温度为T2、相对湿度为H2的除湿环境中持续运行，并记录下除湿机运行时间Δt后，所产生的除湿水体积V2，并根据该除湿水体积V2与该时间Δt得到此除湿环境下的除湿速率s22，如此这般，以得到大量的环境温度、与温度对应的相对湿度、及除湿速率之间的数量对应关系，并整理为环境温度-相对湿度-除湿速率对照表，并存储至除湿机中。如此，当通过温度传感器51检测得到所述当前温度，及通过湿度传感器52检测得到所述当前相对湿度后，控制器4可从环境温度-相对湿度-除湿速率对照表查表得到，与所述当前温度和所述当前相对湿度对应的除湿速率。然本设计不限于此，于其他实施例中，还可通过预设的经验公式去计算得到所述除湿速率，该经验公式涉及环境温度、相对湿度、除湿机的运行功率等。
以下给出了所述环境温度-相对湿度-除湿速率对照表的一个样例：
  H1 H2 H3 H4 H5 H6 H7 H8
T1 s11 s12 s13 s14 s15 s16 s17 s18
T2 s21 s22 s23 s24 s25 s26 s27 s28
T3 s31 s32 s33 s34 s35 s36 s37 s38
T4 s41 s42 s43 s44 s45 s46 s47 s48
T5 s51 s52 s53 s54 s55 s56 s57 s58
T6 s61 s62 s63 s64 s65 s66 s67 s68
T7 s71 s72 s73 s74 s75 s76 s77 s78
其中，T1至T7逐渐递增，H1至H8逐渐递增。需要说明的是，如果检测到的当前温度和当前相对湿度不在该环境温度-相对湿度-除湿速率对照表中，则可用插值法计算得到所述除湿速率。
在前一实施例中，控制器4根据所述当前温度和所述当前相对湿度，确定所述除湿速率。然本设计不限于此，于另一实施例中，控制器4还可根据机身1排水通路的水流速率，确定所述除湿速率，具体地，除湿机还包括：
流速检测器53，用以检测机身1的排水通路的水流速率；
流速检测器53与控制器4电连接；
控制器4用以根据所述水流速率，确定所述除湿速率。
本实施例中，所述除湿速率通常表征为产生除湿水的速率。通常地，所产生的除湿水会经由所述排水通路流入水箱2；因此，本实施例中，可通过检测所述排水通路的水流速率，来得到所述除湿速率。
本实施例中，控制器4用以在预设时间段内，每隔预设间隔从流速检测器53获取一次水流速率，并将所获取到的所有水流速率的平均速率确定为所述除湿速率，如此，能提高所述除湿速率的准确性，进而提高所确定得到的剩余时间的准确性。
在前述实施例中，控制器4可根据当前水位和预设水位，确定所述剩余时间；或者，根据当前水位和除湿速率，确定所述剩余时间。然本设计不限于此，于再一实施例中，控制器4还可用以至少根据当前水位、预设水位和除湿速率，确定所述剩余时间；当然，在该实施例中，除湿机同样需要包括水位设置模块，用以设置预设水位，并与控制器4电连接；控制器4也能获取除湿机的除湿速率，其获取所述除湿速率的方式可参照前述实施例。
参照图1至图3，在一实施例中，水箱2具有朝上的安装开口20。机身1具有闲置状态和工作状态；于所述闲置状态，机身1通过所述安装开口20至少部分收容在水箱2内；于所述工作状态，机身1通过所述安装开口20相对水箱2伸出。
可以理解，本实施例中，水箱2设置在机身1外，当机身1在工作状态时，机身1相对水箱2伸出，使得机身1底部与水箱2底部间隔设置，从而使得机身1内的除湿装置除湿工作时产生的水能够排至水箱2内；而当机身1内的除湿装置结束除湿工作，并将水箱2内的水排出或者倒出后，能够将机身1收容于水箱2内。参照图3，机身1的排水通路具有显露于机身1底面的排水口111，以通过该排水口111将除湿水排入水箱2。
本申请的技术方案中，一方面，机身1在闲置状态时，机身1至少部分能够通过所述安装开口20收容于水箱2内，能够降低除湿机的重心，使得除湿机的放置较为稳定，不易偏倒，还减小了除湿机的整体占用空间，方便仓储和运输，特别地，同样的运输货柜或仓储空间能运输或是储存更多的除湿机，从而降低单台除湿机的运输成本和仓储费用，还能减少包装纸箱、包装泡沫等包装材料的用量，降低包装成本；另一方面，机身1在工作状态时，机身1相对水箱2伸出，可使得机身1上的出风口102具有更高的位置，从而可将除湿后的空气排出到更高的位置，进而使得除湿后的空气能更快地扩散到整个室内空间；再一方面，由于水箱2设置在机身1外，由于提高水箱2的容积占比，减少水满后倒水的次数。
进一步地，水箱2的内侧面设有多个支撑凸部21，多个支撑凸部21沿水箱2的周向间隔排布。机身1的外侧面设有贯穿下端的多个避让凹槽10，多个避让凹槽10沿机身1的周向间隔排布。于所述闲置状态，支撑凸部21伸入避让凹槽10；于所述工作状态，支撑凸部21上端支撑机身1下端。本实施例中，每一支撑凸部21至少对应有一与之配合的避让凹槽10，即避让凹槽10的数量可以多于支撑凸部21的数量，且每一支撑凸部21至少与一避让凹槽10相配合，以保证机身1能够收容于水箱2内。可以理解，多个支撑凸部21沿水箱2的周向间隔排布，当需要将机身1从所述闲置状态切换至所述工作状态时，可以将机身1自水箱2内提出，并将机身1相对于水箱2旋转一定角度，使得多个避让凹槽10与多个支撑凸部21相互错位，进而可以使得支撑凸部21上端支撑机身1下端未设有避让凹槽10的部分。在一实施方式中，多个支撑凸部21沿水箱2的周向均匀排布，以保证机身1下端与多个支撑凸部21抵接时，机身1周向受力均匀，有利于提高机身1在所述工作状态时的稳定性。进一步地，支撑凸部21的上端低于所述安装开口20，如此，在支撑凸部21的上端支撑机身1下端时，机身1仍有部分位于水箱2内，如此，可降低机身1相对水箱2偏倒的情况，能进一步提高机身1在工作状态时的稳定性。
本实施例中，机身1的横截面和所述安装开口20的形状对应呈正方形设置，当然，此处所指的正方形并非是严格意义上的正方形，其角落处可以具有倒圆角特征。本实施例中，支撑凸部21设有两个，并分设于所述安装开口20的一组对边；相应地，避让凹槽10设有两个，并分设于机身1相对的两个外侧面。当需要将机身1从所述闲置状态切换至所述工作状态时，可以将机身1自水箱2内提出，并将机身1相对于水箱2旋转90度，使得多个避让凹槽10与多个支撑凸部21相互错位，进而可以使得支撑凸部21上端支撑机身1下端未设有避让凹槽10的部分。然本设计不限于此，于其他实施例中，机身1的横截面和所述安装开口20的形状还可对应呈圆形或其他偶数边的正多边形设置。
参照图2，机身1上设有提拿部13，以在水箱2中的水达到预设水位，而需要将水箱2中的水倒除时，通过该提拿部13将机身1提出，放置在别处，然后将水箱2中的水倒掉。进一步该提拿部13为设于机身1顶面的凹陷型扣手，如此，可使得机身1的顶面维持平整；当然，于其他实施例中，该提拿部13还可但不限于可转动连接于机身1上端的提手等。
进一步地，水位传感器3为设于机身1的非接触式水位传感器。本实施例中，由于所采用的水位传感器3是非接触式的，其无需设置在水箱2的水位下方，如此，即使水箱2在长期使用的过程中出现了藏污纳垢的情况，也不会出现水位传感器3因积垢而无法检测水位的问题，使用寿命长，耐用可靠，从而能提高除湿机水箱2水位检测功能的可靠性；另外，还可使得在搬运水箱2去倒水时，不会将非接触式水位传感器3连带着搬运，也就不用处理非接触式水位传感器3与机身1之间的连接导线的问题。
非接触式水位传感器为超声波水位传感器，其通常包括一个发射头和一个接收头，其中，发射头用于发射超声波，当遇到障碍物时，超声波发生反射，由接收头进行接收，测试距离等于超声波从发射到返回的时间与声速的乘积除以二，所述当前水位等于超声波水位传感器到水箱2底部的距离减去测试距离。超声波水位传感器设置有合理的测量周期，以防发射信号对回响信号的影响。然本设计不限于此，于其他实施例中，非接触式水位传感器还可但不限于为激光水位传感器等。
参照图3，机身1具有底盘11，非接触式水位传感器安装在底盘11的上侧，且底盘11设有供非接触式水位传感器的检测信号通过的检测通孔112。本实施例中，将非接触式水位传感器安装在底盘11的上侧，可利用底盘11为非接触式水位传感器提供物理防护。为了提高超声波测距的准确性，超声波水位传感器的发射头下端与接收头下端位于同一水平面，使发出的声波与水箱2中的水面垂直。
本实施例中，机身1上设有除湿装置。进一步地，参照图1和图2，除湿装置包括蒸发器123和冷凝器124，机身1内形成有除湿风道，蒸发器123和冷凝器124均设于除湿风道中，且在除湿风道的气流方向上，蒸发器123位于冷凝器124的前侧。当然，除湿装置还包括压缩机121、及相关冷媒管路、节流部件122等，具体地，压缩机121的排气口经由冷媒管路与冷凝器124的冷媒入口连接，冷凝器124的冷媒出口经由冷媒管路与节流部件122的一端连接，节流部件122的另一端经由冷媒管路与蒸发器123的冷媒入口连接，蒸发器123的冷媒出口经由冷媒管路与压缩机121的回气口连接，以形成一个完整的循环回路。本实施例的除湿装置，能先通过蒸发器123将空气中的水蒸气冷凝呈水滴，除去空气中的水蒸气，再通过冷凝器124对除去水蒸气后的空气进行加热干燥，以使吹出的风回复常温。本实施例中，机身1的进风口101位于侧面，出风口102位于顶面，蒸发器123和冷凝器124间隔叠设于进风口101内侧，循环空气从侧面的进风口101进入机身1内部，并依次经过蒸发器123和冷凝器124，再从顶面的出风口102排出。然本设计不限于此，于其他实施例中，所述除湿装置还可采用吸附式等除湿方式。
参照图3和图4，在一实施例中，除湿机还包括显示装置6，该显示装置6与水位传感器3和控制器4均电连接，该显示装置6用以显示所述当前水位、当前水占水箱2体积的百分比和所述剩余时间中的至少一种。另外，当设有湿度传感器52和温度传感器51时，该显示装置6还可显示所述当前湿度和/或所述当前温度。显示装置6设于机身1的前面板上，便于用户获知上述参数。进一步显示装置6配置为数码显示管，此情况下，其每次仅能显示一种参数，看不同的参数需要来回切换；然本设计不限于此，其他实施例中，显示装置6还可包括显示屏。在显示装置6包括显示屏时，显示屏可选为触控屏，如此，不仅可通过显示屏显示上述参数，还可通过该显示屏对除湿机进行触控。
参照图4，进一步地，除湿机还可包括通信模块8，水位传感器3和控制器4均与通信模块8电连接，该通信模块8用以与外部终端进行通信，以将所述当前水位、当前水占水箱2体积的百分比、所述剩余时间、所述当前湿度和所述当前温度中的至少一种发送给外部终端，如此，可使得用户可通过手机、平板电脑、电脑等外部终端上的应用程序（APP）来获知前述的相关参数。通信模块8为无线通信模块，以使得用户能更为方便地通过外部终端获知前述的相关参数；进一步地，所述无线通信模块可以但不限于为WIFI模块、蓝牙模块、4G模块和5G模块中的至少一种。当然，于其他实施例中，通信模块8也可采用有线通信模块，只要能实现其与外部终端之间的通信连接即可。
参照图4，进一步地，除湿机还可包括报警装置7，该报警装置7与水位传感器3和/或控制器4电连接；确定当前水位不小于所述预设水位、及/或确定所述剩余时间为零，报警装置7发出报警提示。如此，可丰富该除湿机的相关报警手段，以更好地提醒用户水箱2中的水已经达到预设水位，而需要将水倒除了。通常地，报警装置7设于机身1。所述报警器可以是声音提示器（例如蜂鸣器）、灯光提示器等。
本申请提出一种除湿机的控制方法。
参照图5，在本申请一实施例中，该除湿机的控制方法包括以下步骤：
S10、获取除湿机的水箱内的当前水位；
S20、至少根据所述当前水位，确定所述水箱中的水达到预设水位的剩余时间。
本实施例中，除湿机上通常设有用以检测所述当前水位的水位传感器。所述预设水位则通常为在除湿机出厂前由厂家设定的水箱的最高水位；为降低水箱水满溢出的概率，最高水位与水箱的倒水开口之间通常具有预设间隔。可以理解，对于水箱而言，其横截面积是既定的，当所述当前水位确定后，可根据其横截面积、所述当前水位和最高水位，确定水位到达最高水位所需的水量。
本实施例中，除湿机中存储有水位-剩余时间对照表，该对照表可通过除湿机的运行试验得到。如此，在获取到所述当前水位后，可从水位-剩余时间对照表查表得到与所述当前水位对应的剩余时间。
本申请的技术方案中，一方面能获取水箱内的当前水位，以便于在水箱中水位较高时及时将水箱中的水排出或者倒出；另一方面能获取水箱中水达到预设水位的剩余时间，也即，能获知除湿机还能运行多久，水位才会达到预设水位，如此，用户就不用过一段时间就去看一下水箱中水的水位是否过高了，也能减少除湿机因水位过高而停机了很久用户还不知道的情况发生，提高用户体验。
参照图6，图6为本申请除湿机的控制方法另一实施例的流程示意图。该实施例相较于图5所示实施例的不同之处在于，在所述步骤S20之前，所述除湿机的控制方法还包括步骤：
S30、设置所述预设水位；
且所述步骤S20具体为：至少根据所述当前水位和所述预设水位，确定所述剩余时间。
需要说明的是，本实施例中，通常地，所述步骤S30在所述步骤S10之前（如图6所示）；然本设计不限于此，于其他实施例中，所述步骤S30也可在所述步骤S10之后。
本实施例中，所述预设水位为用户自行设置的，如此，可满足用户的可操作性，例如，力气小的用户可以把所述预设水位设置得小一些，减短除湿机的运行时间，水箱中的储水量就会少一点，用户搬运水箱时去倒水时不那么吃力；反之，力气大的用户可以把所述预设水位设置得大一些，延长除湿机运行的时间，水箱中多储一点水，减少用户所需搬运水箱去倒水的次数。当然，若用户不进行所述预设水位的设置时，所述预设水位默认为厂家设定的水箱的最高水位。
本实施例中，由于不同的用户所设置的所述预设水位可能会不同，故而，在相同的当前水位时，所述预设水位与所述当前水位之间的水位差会有不同，也即，会导致对于相同的当前水位，水位到达不同用户设置的预设水位，所需的时间（剩余时间）会有不同。
本实施例中，除湿机中存储有水位差-剩余时间对照表，类似于前述的水位-剩余时间对照表，该对照表可通过除湿机的运行试验得到。如此，在获取到所述当前水位后，可先获取所述预设水位与所述当前水位之间的当前水位差，再从水位差-剩余时间对照表查表得到与所述当前水位差对应的剩余时间。
参照图7，图7为本申请除湿机的控制方法又一实施例的流程示意图。该实施例相较于图5所示实施例的不同之处在于，在所述步骤S20之前，所述除湿机的控制方法还包括步骤：
S40、获取所述除湿机的除湿速率；
且所述步骤S20具体为：至少根据所述当前水位和所述除湿速率，确定所述剩余时间。
需要说明的是，本实施例中，通常地，所述步骤S40在所述步骤S10之前（如图7所示）；然本设计不限于此，于其他实施例中，所述步骤S40也可在所述步骤S10之后。
本实施例中，所述预设水位通常为在除湿机出厂前由厂家设定的水箱的最高水位，如此，只要所述当前水位确定了，就能确定水位到达最高水位所需的水量；除湿机中存储有水位-剩余水量对照表，如此，在获得所述当前水位后，可从水位-剩余水量对照表查表得到，与所述当前水位对应的水位到达最高水位所需的水量；继而，可根据该水量与所述除湿速率，确定所述剩余时间。本实施例中，所述除湿速率通常表征为产生除湿水的速率。
可以理解，当除湿机所处环境中空气中的水蒸气含量不同时，在除湿机运行功率既定的情况下，除湿机的除湿速率会有一定的差异。本实施例的技术方案在确定所述剩余时间时，不仅根据所述当前水位，还根据所述除湿速率，如此，可提高所确定得到的剩余时间的准确性。
参照图8，进一步地，所述步骤S40包括：
S41、获取环境的当前温度和当前相对湿度；
S42、根据所述当前温度和所述当前相对湿度，确定所述除湿速率。
可以理解，空气中的水蒸气含量与所处环境的温度和相对湿度相关，例如，相对湿度相同的情况下，温度越高，水蒸气含量越高；又例如，温度相同的情况下，相对湿度越高，水蒸气含量越高。本实施例中，根据所述当前温度和所述当前相对湿度，确定所述除湿速率。
本实施例中，除湿机上通常设有用以检测所述当前温度的温度传感器、及用以检测所述当前相对湿度的湿度传感器，以便于除湿机能即时获取到所述当前温度和所述当前相对湿度。然本设计不限于此，于其他一些实施例中，所述当前温度和所述当前相对湿度也可以是，用户根据外部温湿度检测装置所显示的当前温度和当前相对湿度，通过除湿机上的输入装置输入到除湿机中的；而于其他再一些实施例中，在除湿机能与外部终端通信连接时，所述当前温度和所述当前相对湿度还可以是，外部终端在获取到当前温度和当前相对湿度之后，发送给除湿机的。
在本实施例中，除湿机中预存有环境温度-相对湿度-除湿速率对照表。进一步地，所述步骤S42具体为：根据所述当前温度和所述当前相对湿度，来对所述环境温度-相对湿度-除湿速率对照表进行查表，以确定所述除湿速率。
本实施例中，所述环境温度-相对湿度-除湿速率对照表可通过除湿机的运行试验得到。然本设计不限于此，于其他实施例中，还可通过预设的经验公式去计算得到所述除湿速率，该经验公式涉及环境温度、相对湿度、除湿机的运行功率等。
以下给出了所述环境温度-相对湿度-除湿速率对照表的一个样例：
  H1 H2 H3 H4 H5 H6 H7 H8
T1 s11 s12 s13 s14 s15 s16 s17 s18
T2 s21 s22 s23 s24 s25 s26 s27 s28
T3 s31 s32 s33 s34 s35 s36 s37 s38
T4 s41 s42 s43 s44 s45 s46 s47 s48
T5 s51 s52 s53 s54 s55 s56 s57 s58
T6 s61 s62 s63 s64 s65 s66 s67 s68
T7 s71 s72 s73 s74 s75 s76 s77 s78
其中，T1至T7逐渐递增，H1至H8逐渐递增。需要说明的是，如果检测到的当前温度和当前相对湿度不在该环境温度-相对湿度-除湿速率对照表中，则可用插值法计算得到所述除湿速率。
在图8所示的实施例中，根据所述当前温度和所述当前相对湿度，确定所述除湿速率。然本设计不限于此，参照提图9，于另一实施例中，还可根据除湿机排水通路的水流速率，确定所述除湿速率，具体地，所述步骤S40包括：
S43、获取所述除湿机的排水通路的水流速率；
S44、根据所述水流速率，确定所述除湿速率。
本实施例中，所述除湿速率通常表征为产生除湿水的速率。通常地，所产生的除湿水会经由所述排水通路流入水箱；因此，本实施例中，可通过检测所述排水通路的水流速率，来得到所述除湿速率。本实施例中，通常地，除湿机上通常设有用以检测所述排水通路的水流速率的流速检测器。
参照图10，进一步地，所述步骤S44包括：
S441、在预设时间段内，每隔预设间隔获取一次所述水流速率；
