Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for controlling a fan heater, including: sampling an indoor temperature at a preset interval (S 100 ); comparing the sampled indoor temperature with a preset temperature to obtain a temperature control signal (S 200 ); and adjusting a power of a heater and a rotate speed of a fan according to the temperature control signal (S 300 ). The present disclosure further provides a fan heater, a device for controlling a fan heater, and a storage medium.

Claims

         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the comparing of the sampled indoor temperature with the preset temperature to obtain a temperature control signal further comprises:
 obtaining a different value by subtracting the sampled indoor temperature from the preset temperature value; and   converting the difference value into the temperature control signal.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the adjusting of the power of the heater and the rotate speed of the fan according to the temperature control signal further comprises:
 controlling the fan to rotate at a high speed and controlling the heater to heat at a high power, in response to a determination that the difference value is greater than a first preset difference.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the first preset difference is 5 degrees Celsius, the high speed is in a range of 1800 rpm to 2300 rpm, and the high power is in a range of 1800 watts to 2200 watts. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the adjusting of the power of the heater and the rotate speed of the fan according to the temperature control signal further comprises:
 controlling the fan to rotate at a low speed and controlling the heater to heat at a high power, in response to a determination that the difference value is between a first preset difference and a second preset difference.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the first preset difference is 5 degrees Celsius, the second preset difference is 3 degrees Celsius, the low speed is in a range of 900 rpm to 1600 rpm, and the high power is in a range of 1800 watts to 2200 watts. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the adjusting of the power of the heater and the rotate speed of the fan according to the temperature control signal further comprises:
 controlling the fan to rotate at a low speed and controlling the heater to heat at a low power, in response to a determination that the difference value is less than a second preset difference and greater than zero.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the second preset difference is 3 degrees Celsius, the low speed is in a range of 900 rpm to 1600 rpm, and the low power is in a range of 900 watts to 1600 watts. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the adjusting of the power of the heater and the rotate speed of the fan according to the temperature control signal further comprises:
 controlling the fan to stop operating after the sampled indoor temperature reaches the preset temperature, and controlling the heater to stop operating after a preset time duration.   
     
     
         10 . A device for controlling a fan heater, the device comprises:
 a memory, a processor, and a program for controlling the fan heater stored on the memory and executable on the processor, the program, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:   sample an indoor temperature at a preset interval;   compare the sampled indoor temperature with a preset temperature to obtain a temperature control signal; and   adjust a power of a heater and a rotate speed of a fan according to the temperature control signal.   
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the comparing of the sampled indoor temperature with a preset temperature to obtain a temperature control signal further comprises:
 obtaining a different value by subtracting the sampled indoor temperature from the preset temperature value; and   converting the difference value into the temperature control signal.   
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the adjusting of the power of the heater and the rotate speed of the fan according to the temperature control signal further comprises:
 controlling the fan to rotate at a high speed and controlling the heater to heat at a high power, in response to a determination that the difference value is greater than a first preset difference.   
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the first preset difference is 5 degrees Celsius, the high speed is in a range of 1800 rpm to 2300 rpm, and the high power is in a range of 1800 watts to 2200 watts.
