Embodiment 1

[0015] This embodiment provides a method for controlling the operation mode of the air conditioner, see figure 1 , the method includes the following steps:

[0016] Step S102, in the current working mode, the air conditioner detects whether there are people in the monitoring area; wherein, the monitoring area includes multiple sub-areas; wherein, the working mode in this embodiment can be: tracking mode, avoidance mode, energy saving mode or comfort mode , the current working mode of the air conditioner is set by the user through the remote control of the air conditioner.

[0017] When judging whether there are people in the sub-areas, the following method can be adopted: the air conditioner detects the temperatures of multiple sub-areas one by one; when the detected temperature of the sub-areas is within the specified range, it is determined that there are people in the sub-area. Based on this method, one X×Y thermopile sensor can be set at a suitable position of the air con...

Embodiment 2

[0073] This embodiment provides an air conditioner, see image 3 , the air conditioner includes:

[0074] The detection module 32 is used to detect whether there are people in the monitoring area in the current working mode; wherein, the monitoring area includes multiple sub-areas;

[0075] The control module 34 is connected with the detection module 32 and used for controlling the operation mode according to the detection result of the detection module 32 and the current working mode.

[0076] Wherein, the detection module 32 includes: a thermopile sensor, which is used to detect the temperature of multiple sub-regions one by one; when the detected temperature of the sub-region is within a specified range, it is determined that there are people in the sub-region.

[0077] Using the air conditioner provided in this embodiment, the detection and operation mode control functions in the above embodiment 1 can be completed, for example:

[0078] 1) When the current working mode ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for controlling the operation mode of an air conditioner, and the air conditioner, wherein the method comprises the steps of: under a current working mode, detecting whether someone is present in a monitoring area by the air conditioner, wherein the monitoring area comprises a plurality of subareas; and controlling the operation mode by the air conditioner according to a detection result and the current working mode. According to the invention, the problems that the operation mode of the air conditioner influences the comfort level of a human body and is unfavorable for energy saving and environment protection are solved, meanwhile, the control is automatically carried out by the air conditioner according to the detection result, so that the usage by a user is facilitated, and the comfort level of a living environment is promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of air conditioners, in particular to a method for controlling the operation mode of the air conditioner and the air conditioner. Background technique [0002] Infrared temperature measurement technology is still a high-tech cutting-edge technology at home and abroad. It mainly measures the temperature of objects by measuring the infrared rays emitted by objects. It has the characteristics of fast measurement speed, high precision, and wide application range. [0003] At present, the above-mentioned infrared temperature measurement technology is usually used in air conditioners, which is changed from the previous air conditioners with sensors that can only realize the functions of simple switching on and off. The air conditioner determines the operating frequency of the compressor by detecting the temperature of the entire monitoring area to reduce power consumption. However, this mode of operation of the air conditi...
