Abstract
A method for controlling rotational speed applied to a smart fan includes acquiring environmental temperature from a temperature sensor and radiation intensity of human body from an infrared sensor. A result of analysis is generated by determining whether the acquired environmental temperature is within a predetermined temperature range and the acquired radiation intensity is greater than a predetermined value. A working status of the smart fan can be changed according to the result when the smart fan is in automatic mode.
Claims6
A smart fan comprising:
- a plurality of sensors comprising a temperature sensor and an infrared sensor, wherein the temperature sensor detects environmental temperature and the infrared sensor collects radiation intensity of human body;
- and
- a controller acquires the detected environmental temperature from the temperature sensor and the collected radiation intensity from the infrared sensor, wherein
- the controller increases rotational speed of the smart fan when the detected environmental temperature is within a predetermined temperature range, and the collected radiation intensity is equal to or less than a predetermined value;
- the controller decreases the rotational speed of the smart fan when the detected environmental temperature is within the predetermined temperature range and the collected radiation intensity is greater than the predetermined value;
- and
- the controller adjusts the rotational speed automatically according to the detected environmental temperature and the collected radiation intensity when the smart fan is in sleep mode.
