DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, this embodiment provides a device including an evacuation module 11 and an interaction assembly. The evacuation module 11 includes a base 1, a vacuum pump 2, a power supply assembly and a control assembly, the base 1 is connected to an opening of a to-be-evacuated container 13, the vacuum pump 2 is disposed on one end of the base 1 facing away from the to-be-evacuated container 13, and an evacuation port of the vacuum pump 2 is communicated with the to-be-evacuated container 13. The control assembly is electrically connected between the vacuum pump 2 and the power supply assembly and includes a control circuit board 3 and a vacuum pressure switch 4 connected to the control circuit board 3. The vacuum pressure switch 4 is electrically connected between the power supply assembly and the vacuum pump 2, and a detection portion of the vacuum pressure switch 4 is communicated with the to-be-evacuated container 13. In this embodiment, the controller may be a centralized or distributed controller, for example, the control circuit board 3 may be a separate single-chip microcomputer, such as an STM32 single-chip microcomputer, or may be formed by multiple distributed single-chip microcomputers, a control program may be run in the single-chip microcomputer to control the vacuum pressure switch 4 and other components to achieve the functions.

Specifically, a turning on and off threshold of the vacuum pressure switch 4 is adjusted by the control circuit board 3, and the vacuum pressure switch 4 detects an air pressure value in the to-be-evacuated container 13 and compares the detected air pressure value with the turning on and off threshold. If the detected air pressure value is higher than the turning on and off threshold, the vacuum pressure switch 4 is turned on, the power supply assembly supplies power to the vacuum pump 2, and the vacuum pump 2 is turned on to evacuate the to-be-evacuated container 13; if the detected air pressure value is lower than or equal to the turning on and off threshold, the vacuum pressure switch 4 is turned off, the power supply assembly stops supplying power to the vacuum pump 2, and the vacuum pump 2 is turned off to stop evacuating the to-be-evacuated container 13. In this way, when the air pressure value in the to-be-evacuated container 13 changes, the vacuum pressure switch 4 can automatically control the start and stop of the vacuum pump 2 according to the relationship between the detected air pressure value and the turning on and off threshold, ensuring that the air pressure value in the to-be-evacuated container 13 is not greater than the turning on and off threshold of the vacuum pressure switch 4.
