Description

Central control bottom plate

<1> The present invention relates to a central control sub-panel that comprehensively controls a humidity control device, a cleaning device, and a blower device, and more specifically, to a central control sub-panel that controls the operation of other devices based on operation status information of a specific device.

<2> Generally, people use various air conditioning devices to make indoor air more comfortable.

<3> Air conditioning devices include fans, air conditioners, heaters, air purifiers, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers. Fans circulate indoor air, air conditioners lower its temperature, and heaters raise it. Air purifiers remove dust and odors from indoor air. Humidifiers increase humidity, and dehumidifiers lower it.

<4> These air conditioners can be equipped with a removable filter to filter out airborne contaminants. When the filter is used during operation of the air conditioner, the indoor air is purified as the filter filters out airborne contaminants.

<5> However, if a significant amount of foreign matter accumulates in the air conditioning unit's filter, it will reduce its ability to absorb air, requiring periodic cleaning or replacement. However, regularly maintaining the filters of multiple devices can cause significant inconvenience to users.

<6> In order to maintain an appropriate indoor humidity and temperature, multiple devices must be used in combination, and it may be difficult to maintain a constant humidity and temperature with just one device.

<7> In addition, in order to maintain a constant humidity and temperature desired by the user, the user must operate several devices simultaneously. However, if the user implements this directly, it takes a considerable amount of time and may be inefficient in terms of energy use.

<8> Meanwhile, vacuum cleaners are generally devices that use the suction power of a suction motor to suck up dust and foreign substances scattered on the surface being cleaned, and then store them. When using a vacuum cleaner to clean an indoor space, settled dust may rise up, temporarily increasing indoor air pollution. In this case, using an air conditioner together can increase indoor cleaning efficiency. However, even in this case, the user may experience the inconvenience of having to use multiple devices simultaneously.

<9> The purpose of the present invention is to provide a central control panel capable of comprehensively controlling a humidity control device, a cleaning device, and a blower device to maintain appropriate humidity and temperature indoors.

<10> Another object of the present invention is to provide a central control panel that displays status information (e.g., operating status, contamination level of the filter) of each of a humidity control device, a cleaning device, and a blower device, and indoor environment information (e.g., indoor humidity and indoor temperature) on a screen or transmits a notification to a user using a speaker.

<11> Another object of the present invention is to provide a central control sub-panel that determines the operation method of a humidity control device, a cleaning device, and a blower device based on past operation information of the central control sub-panel and indoor environment information.

<12> Another object of the present invention is to provide a central control panel having a plurality of holders capable of holding and charging a humidity control device, a cleaning device, and a blower device, and providing an aesthetic appeal to the user through the arrangement and design of the plurality of holders.

<13> The central control sub-panel according to the present invention can receive status information of each of the blower, the humidity control device, and the cleaning device, and control the operation of each of the blower, the humidity control device, and the cleaning device based on the status information. Through this, the central control sub-panel can efficiently operate the blower, the humidity control device, or the cleaning device to maintain the appropriate humidity and temperature desired by the user.

<14> The central control sub-panel according to the present invention includes a display unit and a speaker unit, and can display status information received from a blower, a humidity control device, and a cleaning device on the display unit to visually provide the user with the status information. In addition, the speaker unit can be used to provide the user with the status information of each device audibly.

<15> The central control lower plate of the central control lower plate according to the present invention includes a memory section that stores past operation information, and can determine an operation method or operation pattern of a humidity control device, a cleaning device, and a blower device based on the past operation history and current indoor environment information stored in the memory section.

<16> The central control lower plate according to the present invention includes a plurality of holders having the same shape and arranged at regular intervals. Each holder can accommodate one of a humidity control device, a cleaning device, and a blower device, and can charge the mounted device. At this time, the charging rate of each device can be displayed on the display unit. In addition, when devices having similar designs are respectively mounted on a plurality of symmetrically arranged holders, the overall combination of devices can create a sense of unity and integration.

<17> The central control panel according to the present invention can increase user convenience by automatically controlling the blower, humidity control device, and cleaning device to maintain the appropriate humidity and temperature desired by the user. By using the central control panel, the user can save the effort and time required to maintain a specific humidity and temperature. Furthermore, the central control panel can increase energy efficiency by operating multiple devices using an optimal method to achieve the temperature and humidity desired by the user.

<18> The central control panel according to the present invention can display status information received from the blower, humidity control device, and cleaning device on the display unit to visually provide the user with status information (e.g., battery charge level, filter replacement time, whether internal cleaning is necessary, etc.). In addition, the speaker unit can be used to provide the user with the status information of each device audibly. The user can easily determine the maintenance time (e.g., battery charging, internal cleaning, and filter replacement) of each device through notifications, thereby increasing user convenience.

<19> The central control panel according to the present invention can determine whether to operate the humidity control device, the cleaning device, and the blower device based on past operation history and the current indoor humidity and temperature. The blower device, the humidity control device, and the cleaning device can automatically operate so as to create an indoor environment that takes into account the user's preferences, thereby increasing user satisfaction.

<20> The central control lower plate according to the present invention can simultaneously mount a humidity control device, a cleaning device, and a blower device. This allows the central control lower plate to store multiple devices together, making it easier to manage multiple devices. In addition, since charging is performed simply by mounting multiple devices on the central control lower plate, the inconvenience of having to charge the batteries for each device can be reduced. In addition, since the multiple mounting portions of the central control lower plate are arranged symmetrically, when each device is mounted on the multiple mounting portions, the user can feel a sense of unity and integration in the overall combination, and can also feel aesthetic satisfaction in terms of design.

In addition, it should be understood that the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings are only the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical idea of the present invention, and therefore, there may be various equivalents and modified examples that can replace them at the time of this application.

<32> Hereinafter, a central control lower plate according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

<33> Figures 1 and 2 are drawings showing an integrated control system including a central control sub-panel according to some embodiments of the present invention.

<34> Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an integrated control system according to some embodiments of the present invention includes a central control sub-panel (100), a humidity control device (200), a cleaning device (300), and a blower device (400).

<35> The central control sub-panel (100) receives status information of each of the humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400), and can control the operation of each of the humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400) based on the status information.

<36> For example, the central control lower plate (100) can receive humidity information from the humidity control device (200) and, based on this, determine whether or not to operate the blower device (400) and the operating method. As another example, the central control lower plate (100) can receive information on the operating status of the cleaning device (300) and, based on this, determine whether or not to operate the central control lower plate (100) or the blower device (400) and the operating method. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

<37> The central control lower plate (100) may include a plurality of charging holders (e.g., 1110, 1120 of FIG. 2) capable of holding a humidity control device (200), a cleaning device (300), and a blower device (400). For example, the plurality of charging holders (e.g., 1110, 1120 of FIG. 2) may be arranged at regular intervals on the upper surface of the central control lower plate (100), and may all be formed with the same shape and structure.

<38> The humidity control device (200) can increase or decrease the humidity of indoor air. Specifically, the humidity control device (200) can include a humidifier that increases the humidity of indoor air or a dehumidifier that decreases the humidity of indoor air.

<39> The cleaning device (300) can suck up dust or foreign substances inside the room and store the dust or foreign substances. Specifically, the cleaning device (300) may include an air purifier that purifies the air inside the room, or a vacuum cleaner that sucks up dust and foreign substances scattered on the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning device (300) may include a general manual vacuum cleaner operated by a person, or a robot vacuum cleaner that automatically sucks up dust inside the room.

<40> The blower unit (400) can rotate the blower fan to discharge the air drawn into the blower unit (400) to the outside. Through this, the blower unit (400) can circulate indoor air. However, the blower unit (400) is not limited to the function of circulating air, and the blower unit (400) can include an air conditioner that lowers the temperature of indoor air and a heater that raises the temperature of indoor air. Additionally, it can operate as an ionizer that ionizes indoor air to produce a sterilizing and deodorizing effect, or an air purifier that purifies indoor air with a filter. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

<41> The humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400) according to the present invention can be formed with a similar family design. That is, the humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400) can all use the same exterior material and be manufactured through the same manufacturing process. The unified design of these multiple devices can provide a simple impression and a sense of unity to the user.

<42> In addition, the humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400) can be charged by being placed on a plurality of charging stations (e.g., 1110, 1120 of FIG. 2) arranged at regular intervals on the central control lower plate (100). Symmetrically arranging each device on the central control lower plate (100) at regular intervals can provide a sense of design unity and stability. This can evoke an aesthetic sense in the user and provide the user with design satisfaction.

<43> The humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400) all include a lower charging unit of the same shape and may include a charging module of the same type. The lower charging unit has a shape that can be combined with a charging cradle (1110, 1120 of FIG. 2) and can receive power from the charging cradle wirelessly or by wire. A detailed description thereof will be described above with reference to FIG. 9.

<44> The humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400) can be arbitrarily placed on any one of the plurality of charging stations, and can operate in the same manner even if the arrangement order is changed. In addition, the humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400) can each include an independent battery (not shown). Therefore, even if the humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400) are separated from the central control lower plate (100) and do not receive power, they can operate normally for a certain period of time.

<45> The humidity control device (200), cleaning device (300), and blower device (400) can each exchange data with the central control sub-panel (100) wirelessly or by wire. The data may include information such as the operating status of each device, information sensed by each device (e.g., indoor temperature, indoor humidity), the contamination level of the filter included in each device, or whether internal cleaning is necessary.

<46> The central control lower plate (100) can determine whether and how to operate the humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400) based on the above data and transmit a command. Through this, the central control lower plate (100) can maintain the appropriate humidity and temperature desired by the user indoors. The central control lower plate (100) can increase the convenience of the user by automatically controlling the humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400). By using the central control lower plate (100), the user can save the effort and time required to maintain a specific humidity and temperature. In addition, the central control lower plate (100) can increase energy efficiency by operating a plurality of devices using an optimal method for implementing the temperature and humidity desired by the user.

<47> In addition, the central control sub-panel (100) can display some of the above data on the display or play it back as a voice to notify the user. The user can easily determine the maintenance period (e.g., battery charging, internal cleaning, and filter replacement) of the humidity control device (200), cleaning device (300), and blower device (400) through the notification, thereby increasing the user's convenience.

<48> Below, we will look at the specific components of the central control sub-plate (100).

<87> The circular joint (224) is formed to surround the concave portion (222) and has a ring shape that protrudes convexly outward from the lower surface. The circular joint (224) may include an elastic material to support the lower structure, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

<88> The intake port (226) is an air circulation passage that allows external air to pass into the inside of the extended column (210), and may be formed on the lower surface of the lower support portion (220). A single intake port (226) or multiple intake ports may be provided.

<89> Fig. 9 is a partial perspective view showing the coupling relationship between a central control lower plate and a humidity control device, a cleaning device, or a blower device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

<90> Referring to FIG. 9, the connection relationship between the lower support (220) of one of the humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400) and the charging cradle (1110) of the central control lower plate (100) is shown.

<91> The charging cradle (1110) includes a central convex portion (1112) and a circular connecting portion (1114) spaced apart from the convex portion (1112) and having a large diameter.

<92> The convex portion (1112) is formed in a shape that protrudes convexly from the lower surface of the charging cradle (1110) and is connected to the power supply unit (160) so that power can be supplied from the power supply unit (160). The convex portion (1112), like the concave portion (222) of the lower support unit (220), may include a charging terminal made of a highly conductive metal material. When the convex portion (1112) and the concave portion (222) are coupled to each other, the charging terminal of the convex portion (1112) and the charging contact of the concave portion (222) come into contact with each other, and through this, the power supply unit (160) can transmit power.

<93> The circular coupling portion (1114) may be formed in a concave ring shape on the inside of the charging stand (1110). The circular coupling portion (1114) may detect whether another device (e.g., a humidity control device (200), a cleaning device (300), and a blower device (400)) is mounted on the charging stand (1110). Specifically, the circular coupling portion (1114) may include a piezoelectric sensor. When a load is detected through the piezoelectric sensor, the circular coupling portion (1114) may transmit a signal to the power supply unit (160) notifying that another device is mounted on the charging stand (1110). The power supply unit (160) may provide power to the charging stand (1110) only when another device is mounted.

<94> The lower support (220) includes a charging module (240) inside and includes a concave portion (222) and a circular coupling groove (224) on the lower surface.

<95> The concave portion (222) may be formed with the same profile as the convex portion (1112) of the charging cradle (1110), so as to be combined with the convex portion (1112). The concave portion (222) may be electrically connected to the charging module (240).

<96> The circular coupling groove (224) can be formed with the same diameter and profile as the circular coupling portion (1114) of the charging cradle (1110), so that it can be formed to be coupled with the circular coupling portion (1114).

<97> Therefore, the lower support (220) and the charging cradle (1110) include a shape that allows for mutual coupling. When the lower support (220) is placed on the charging cradle (1110), the power supply (160) can transmit power to the charging module (240) within the lower support (220).

<98> Fig. 10 is a partial perspective view showing the coupling relationship between a central control lower plate and a humidity control device, a cleaning device, or a blower device according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the following, duplicate descriptions of the same details as in the embodiment of Fig. 9 will be omitted, and the differences will be explained.

<99> Referring to FIG. 10, the lower support part (220) includes a wireless charging module (245) therein. In addition, the charging cradle part (1110) includes a wireless charging transmission module (165) at the bottom.

<100> The wireless charging transmission module (165) is connected to the power supply unit (160) and can transmit power to the wireless charging module (245). When the lower support unit (220) is placed on the charging stand unit (1110), the power supply unit (160) transmits power to the wireless charging module (245) through the wireless charging transmission module (165). At this time, the convex portion (1112) of the charging stand unit (1110) and the concave portion (222) of the lower support unit (220) may not contain a highly conductive metal material.

<101> The wireless charging module (245) can charge the battery (not shown) in the lower support (220) using the received power. The humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400) can operate using the built-in battery (not shown). Through this, the humidity control device (200), the cleaning device (300), and the blower device (400) can operate normally even when separated from the central control lower plate (101).

<102> FIG. 11 is a drawing showing an actual use example of an integrated control system including a central control sub-panel according to some embodiments of the present invention.

<103> Referring to FIG. 11, an example of actual use of the present invention is described. A user can clean an indoor floor using a cleaning unit (300). At this time, the cleaning unit (300) transmits status information about its operation to the central control sub-panel (100).

<104> Next, the central control sub-panel (100) calculates conditions for an optimal environment based on the operating status of the cleaning unit (300) and information about the indoor environment measured by the sensor unit (170), and generates operation commands for each device.

<105> Next, the central control sub-panel (100) transmits a driving signal to the blower unit (400) to create an optimal environment. For example, when the cleaning unit (300) operates, dust settled on the floor may spread, temporarily increasing the level of air contamination. Accordingly, the blower unit (400) may be commanded to perform an air purification function or an ionizer function to reduce the level of air contamination. In addition, the humidity control device (200) may be commanded to perform a humidification function.

<106> If an error occurs during operation of the cleaning unit (300), it transmits information about the abnormal operating state to the central control sub-panel (100). For example, such abnormal operating states may include increased contamination of the filter, low battery, etc.

<107> At this time, the central control sub-panel (100) can display the received abnormal operation status on the display unit (130) or notify the user through a sound generated from the speaker unit (180).

<108> That is, the present invention can calculate the most efficient operation method that can achieve optimal environmental conditions centered around the central control sub-panel (100). Through this, the user's desired indoor temperature and humidity can be achieved in the most efficient manner, thereby maximizing user convenience and increasing energy efficiency.

<109> In addition, the central control lower plate (100) of the present invention can simultaneously mount a humidity control device (200), a cleaning device (300), and a blower device (400). That is, the central control lower plate (100) can store multiple devices together, making it easy to manage multiple devices. Since charging is performed simply by mounting multiple devices on the central control lower plate (100), the inconvenience of having to charge the battery for each device can be reduced. In addition, since the multiple mounting portions (1120, 1130, 1140) of the central control lower plate (100) are arranged symmetrically, when each device is all mounted on the multiple mounting portions (1120, 1130, 1140), the user can feel a sense of unity and oneness in the overall combination.

<110> It should be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all respects and not restrictive, and the scope of the present invention will be indicated by the claims that follow rather than the detailed description set forth above. Furthermore, the meaning and scope of the claims that follow, as well as all possible modifications and variations derived from their equivalent concepts, should be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention.
