Air conditioner and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an air conditioner and a control method of the air conditioner. The air conditioner comprises an outdoor unit, an indoor unit matched with the outdoor unit, and a human body sensor corresponding to the indoor unit. The control method includes the steps that S1, the human body sensor is controlled to be started, and the indoor environment temperature of a room corresponding to the indoor unit is detected; S2, whether the human body sensor senses that people exist in the room for more than first preset time or not is judged; S3, if the human body sensor senses that people exist in the room for more than first preset time, the air conditioner is controlled according to the indoor environment temperature and target temperature. By the adoption of the air conditioner and the control method of the air conditioner, energy waste generated due to the fact that people forget to switch off the air conditioner can be avoided, and meanwhile the problem that the reliability of the air conditioner is reduced due to the fact that a compressor is frequently started and stopped when users come in and go out of the room frequently can be solved. In addition, the refrigerating and heating requirements of the air conditioner can be automatically judged, and the actual requirements of the users are met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to an air conditioner and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of living standards, air conditioners are becoming more and more common in people's lives. Air conditioners can perform refrigeration or heating, which provides convenience for people's lives. However, people sometimes forget to turn off the air conditioner for some reason, thus causing energy waste. At present, an energy-saving air conditioner with infrared induction has been disclosed in the related art. The energy-saving air conditioner includes an external unit and an internal unit of the air conditioner. An intelligent system, wherein human body induction sensors are arranged on walls or ceilings around the room. Such as figure 1 As shown, the working process of the above-mentioned energy-saving air conditioner includes: [0003] S1', judging whether the infra...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0013] It can be seen that although the existing technology can solve the problem of energy waste caused by forgetting to turn off the air conditioner, when people come in and out frequently, the air conditioner is turned on and off, and the compressor is frequently started and stopped, thereby reducing the reliability of the air conditioner.
