  • Publication number: 20160265828
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a compressor over-load protection control method. The method includes that: the state of a compressor is detected (S101); it is judged whether the compressor is under over-load protection (S102); and if the compressor is under the over-load protection, fluorine shortage protection is shielded (S103). A compressor over-load protection control apparatus includes: a detection unit (10), configured to detect the state of a compressor; a judgement unit (20), configured to judge whether the compressor is under over-load protection; and a shielding unit (30), configured to shield fluorine shortage protection if the compressor is under the over-load protection. By means of the method and apparatus, the problem in the relevant art that a fluorine shortage false alarm is easily triggered is solved, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the fluorine shortage false alarm when the compressor is under the over-load protection.

  • Publication number: 20160258648
    Abstract: A method and a system for monitoring an abnormality at an air outlet of a dehumidifier. The method comprises: identifying whether there is a blockage abnormality at the air outlet of the dehumidifier; after a blockage abnormality has been identified, starting a high wind-level operation of the dehumidifier or controlling air deflectors of the dehumidifier to be reset; after the high wind-level operation has run for a set time period or after the air deflectors are reset, identifying whether the blockage abnormality has been eliminated; and after it has been identified that the blockage abnormality has not been eliminated, controlling the dehumidifier to stop running, and sending out a fault cue. The method and system disclosed can avoid influences on the operation, service life and reliability of the dehumidifier due to a long-term blockage at the air outlet of the dehumidifier.

  • Patent number: 9356335
    Abstract: The present invention relates to near field communication technology. Specifically, disclosed is an electrophoretic display device having integrated an NFC antenna. The NFC antenna is arranged on a display screen of the electrophoretic display device, where the NFC interface is equipped with an output circuit of the display screen and is connected to a control mainboard of the display screen. The present invention combines the display screen and NFC antenna features into one, and has the NFC antenna provided directly on the electrophoretic display device, thus preventing the problem of signal quality deterioration and reception failure due to wearing of the NFC antenna interface and inaccurate alignment. In addition, a solution is provided for facilitating reception of an NFC signal from a display panel of the display device or for when the NFC signal must be received from the display panel of the display device.
