Specifically, the steam generator is used to heat the moisture, and the human body sensing module 6 on the steam handle can sense whether the user's hands are separated from the steam handle, and convert the sensed situation into a touch signal, and the microprocessor Send the control instruction of steam generator according to the duration of above-mentioned touch signal, wherein, human body sensing module 6 comprises any one or a plurality of arbitrary combinations in single circuit element, single sensor and sensor array, when using single circuit element (such as Metal sheets, PCB modules, conductive media, etc.) as the sensing unit of the human body sensing module 6, the sensing principle is to change the electrical parameters of the human body sensing module 6 during the contact process between the human body and the human body sensing module 6 to generate touch In addition, if multiple single sensors with different principles are used to sense at the same time, the sensing process will be more accurate. Specifically, if the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor are simultaneously sensed, when the temperature sensor senses the touch temperature signal When it belongs to the human body temperature signal, it is necessary to further sense the touch pressure signal through the pressure sensor. When the touch pressure signal belongs to the human body pressure signal, the steam generator can be controlled to work. Due to the diversity of the measurement process, the sensors can be selected to sense individually or simultaneously through user preset instructions, which improves the user's individual needs and experience.

According to an embodiment of the present utility model, it also includes: a timer, connected to the sensing module 6 and the microprocessor, used to count the sensing time and idle time, and report to the microprocessor according to the statistical results The processor sends the trigger instruction.

According to the steam handle assembly 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, by setting a timer and cooperating with the sensing module 6, the effect of accurately controlling the clothes care machine according to the user's use status is realized.

Specifically, by setting a timer in the microprocessor, the timer can calculate the duration of the touch signal received by the microprocessor, and when the duration of the touch signal is greater than or equal to the first preset touch time, the timer triggers the microprocessor The device sends a heating command (trigger command). In this way, the duration of the touch signal can be used to discharge the touch signal sent by the steam handle after accidentally touching the steam handle, and at the same time, the heating power consumption of the steam generator is saved.

In addition, the first preset touch time can be the default time of the clothing care machine, or it can be stored in the microprocessor after being manually input and modified by the user. When the user sets the first preset touch time to be equal to 0, it can be When the user touches the handle of the clothing care machine, the steam generator is controlled for heating, which reduces the waiting time of the user and improves the user experience.

In addition, the timer calculates the idle time for which no touch signal is continuously detected, and judges the idle condition of the steam handle. When the idle time of the steam handle is greater than or equal to the second preset touch time, the timer triggers the microprocessor to send a stop heating command ( trigger command) to stop the steam generator from heating, reducing unnecessary waste of power consumption, and at the same time, ensuring the safety of the clothing care machine and effectively reducing the danger of the water in the steam generator completely evaporating.

And the timer calculates the idle time that has not detected the touch signal continuously, and judges the idle situation of the steam handle. When the idle time that has not detected the touch signal is less than the second preset touch time, the timer triggers the microprocessor to send the heat preservation command to the heating The starter makes the heating driving device reduce the heating amount, and only keeps the water in the steam generator warm. At this time, the water in the steam generator stops evaporating in large quantities, reducing unnecessary water loss. At the same time, the user Using the clothes care machine, the clothes care machine does not need to be reheated, which reduces the power loss of the clothes care machine.

(1) When the sensing module 6 senses the user through the electrical sensor, one end of the electrical sensor is connected to the pin of the microprocessor. After the electrical sensor touches the human body, the microprocessor receives the change of the potential signal.

(2) When the sensing module 6 senses the user through the pressure sensor, the pressure sensor changes resistance according to the pressure, and the microprocessor receives the change of the current passing through the pressure sensor.

(3) When the sensing module 6 senses the user through the temperature sensor, what the microprocessor receives is the change of the temperature signal.

(4) When the sensing module 6 detects the use status of the user through the infrared sensor, the infrared sensor sends a detection signal to the microprocessor according to the distance or position of the user.
