Control method and device for air conditioner

[0024] Example 1

[0025] The air conditioner control method provided by the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The air-conditioning control method provided by the present invention can be applied to air-conditioning equipment, such as: household air-conditioning equipment, shopping mall air-conditioning equipment, multi-connected air-conditioning equipment, etc., by installing an application (APP) on the air-conditioning system, or on the air-conditioning system The way of installing software, or the way of writing the control program on the air conditioning system, such as figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner control method may include the following steps S102-S104:

[0027] S102. Responding to the triggered odor mode activation instruction, confirm the odor corresponding to the odor mode, wherein the air conditioner is preset with multiple odor modes, each of which corresponds to a different odor;

[0028] When it is necessary to combine odor control, the user can trigger the odor mode activation command through the remote control or the control panel side, and the air conditioner controller responds to the triggered odor mode activation command to obtain the odor corresponding to the odor mode selected by the user. Wherein, preferably, the air conditioner is preset with multiple odor modes, each of which corresponds to a different odor.

[0029] In one embodiment, the user can edit the corresponding relationship between the smell mode and the desired smell by himself. During specific implementation, the air conditioner is set to provide an operation entry for editing a variety of smell modes corresponding to different smells, and then respond Based on the triggered change instruction, change the smell corresponding to the smell mode by operating the entrance.

[0030] S104, turn on the air conditioner odor generator, and control the air conditioner to output the confirmed odor while performing the temperature adjustment function, wherein the output end of the air conditioner is preset with an odor generator for generating different odors.

[0031] In the preferred embodiment above, a new intelligent air-conditioning control system is proposed. The intelligent air-conditioning system can output odor through the odor generator, so that the temperature control and odor control of the air-conditioner can be combined, effectively solving the problem of air-conditioning in the prior art. The control function is relatively simple, and the intelligence of the air conditioner is improved.

[0032] Further, after turning on the air conditioner odor generator, controlling the air conditioner to output the confirmed odor while performing the temperature adjustment function, the above method may also include: receiving feedback indoor odor concentration data, and dynamically adjusting the odor generator according to the indoor odor concentration data , wherein the air conditioner is preset with a gas sensor for detecting indoor odor concentration. That is to say, after the air conditioner matches the required mode with the corresponding smell through the smell generator (for example: aroma diffuser), when the smell slowly diffuses into a space and reaches a certain concentration, the gas sensor will sense To set a certain concentration value of the odor, and adjust the release of the odor through the control valve to ensure that the spatial concentration is optimal; preferably, a gas sensor with an odor recognition function can be used to determine the type of the odor by identifying the odor molecule, and then The concentration value is obtained, and the output of the odor generator is dynamically adjusted according to the type and concentration value of the odor.

[0033] When dynamically adjusting the output of the odor generator according to the indoor odor concentration data, preferably, when it is detected that there is a first odor that conflicts with the odor currently output by the odor generator in the feedback indoor odor concentration data, the odor generator is controlled. Stop working, wherein, the air conditioner is preset with a mapping relationship of each smell including whether the smells conflict. That is to say, considering that various odors may have different reactions or even negative effects on human health after the reaction, the mapping relationship expressing the conflict relationship between odors can be stored in the corresponding storage space of the air conditioner. When a scent (such as flowers) meets the determination of the conflict, the gas sensor will feed back a signal to the main control chip to stop the scent generator from working to ensure the health of the user.

[0034]In addition, when dynamically adjusting the output of the odor generator according to the indoor odor concentration data, the odor generator can be controlled to increase the output when it is detected that there is a second odor representing an odor in the feedback indoor odor concentration data. When realizing, the judging condition for judging whether it is a peculiar smell can be set, and when the judging condition is met, it is determined that the current room is in a state where there is a peculiar smell. When judging, it can be judged according to the concentration, or it can be judged according to the type of odor molecule. For example, when the space is filled with some kind of peculiar smell, the gas sensor will timely feedback the main control chip to turn on the smell generator (for example: aromatherapy machine), and increase the circulation of the air smell through the control valve, so that the smell in the space can reach the fastest A suitable taste ensures that users enjoy the best experience.

[0035] In another embodiment of this embodiment, the above method is also optimized so that the occurrence of odor is independent from the original temperature adjustment function of the air conditioner. It should be noted that the temperature adjustment function of the air conditioner here refers to the temperature adjustment function of the air conditioner. Ordinary air conditioning adjustment functions, such as cooling and heating, defrosting and dehumidification and other functions. Specifically, on the basis of the above method, it also includes: in response to the triggered single-temperature mode opening command, controlling the air conditioner to stop working when the air conditioner performs the temperature adjustment function; and/or, in response to the triggered single-smell mode Turn on the command, control the air conditioner to stop the temperature adjustment function, and the odor generator starts to work. The implementation of the above scheme can enable users to intelligently switch between different modes that only need the function of odor generation, only need the function of temperature adjustment of the air conditioner, or both, so as to improve the intelligent control of the air conditioner.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The structure and function of the air conditioner corresponding to the air conditioner control method provided by the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of an air conditioner output terminal applicable to the above air conditioner control method is shown, as shown in figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner circulates the air in a certain space, and an odor generator (for example: aroma diffuser) is added to the front end of the air blown out by the fan in the air conditioner (after the gas passes through the heat exchanger). When the air conditioner receives the status request, the main control chip will match the required mode with the corresponding smell through the smell generator (for example: aroma diffuser), and output the smelly wind through the air outlet. Preferably, a sensor for detecting space odors, such as a gas sensor, is provided at the output end of the air conditioner. By receiving the indoor odor concentration data fed back by the gas sensor, the output of the odor generator is dynamically adjusted according to the indoor odor concentration data.

[0039] image 3 It shows a structural function module of an air conditioner, such as image 3 As shown, the air conditioner includes a main control chip, a control signal receiving module, an odor generator, a gas sensor, and a gas control valve, wherein, through the control signal receiving module, the odor mode opening instruction issued by the user is received. Control the odor generator to emit different odors; the indoor odor concentration data fed back by the gas sensor dynamically adjusts the output of the odor generator according to the indoor odor concentration data; the gas control valve controls whether the odor generator is working or not.

[0040] When the above-mentioned air conditioner is working, when the user control terminal sends a signal of a certain state, the air conditioner receives the state request, and then the main control chip will match the required mode with the corresponding smell through the smell generator (for example: aromatherapy machine) When the smell slowly diffuses into a space and reaches a certain concentration, the gas sensor will sense a certain concentration value of the set smell, and adjust the release of the smell through the control valve to ensure the best concentration of the space; In addition, when there is a certain fragrance (such as flowers) in the space, the gas sensor will feed back a signal to the main control chip to stop the smell generator (such as: aromatherapy machine) to avoid smell conflicts; when the space is full of a certain smell, the gas sensor will The sensor will timely feedback to the main control chip to turn on the smell generator (for example: aromatherapy machine), and increase the circulation of air smell through the control valve, so that the smell in the space can reach a suitable smell as soon as possible, ensuring that the user enjoys the most comfortable smell. good feeling.

[0041] When the user only needs to adjust the temperature and does not need to match the smell, the air conditioner control terminal is also paired with the shield of this mode function synchronously. On the one hand, the main control turns off the gas generator, and on the other hand, the control valve is closed, which double guarantees the smell generator (for example : The overflow of smell in the aroma diffuser really meets the actual needs of users.

[0042] The implementation of the above-mentioned air conditioner ensures that the wind blown by the air conditioner can increase the comfort taste under the premise of ensuring comfort. The understanding of air-conditioning is not just simply staying in the stage of cooling and heating. The adjustment of air-conditioning is not only the adjustment of temperature, but also the adjustment of smell. When the emotional experience of air conditioners in people's senses of taste and smell, it injects fresh blood into the design products, adds many beautiful feelings to people's lives, and makes the products more humanized and humane.
