Air conditioner and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioners, and particularly provides an air conditioner and a control method thereof. The invention aims to solve the problems that an outlet direction of an existing snow protection cover is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to a wind direction change so as to easily cause the backward blowing of wind and snow and influence a ventilationeffect. Therefore, the air conditioner provided by the invention comprises an outdoor unit and a control system, wherein an air outlet is formed in the top part of a tank of the outdoor unit. The airconditioner further comprises a snow protection cover communicating with the air outlet, a rotary drive device connected with the snow protection cover, and a wind direction detection device arrangedon the tank, wherein the snow protection cover and the top part of the tank are rotatably arranged; and the rotary drive device and the wind direction detection device are in communication with the control system. According to the air conditioner and the control method thereof provided by the invention, an outlet direction of the snow protection cover can be adjusted according to the wind direction change, and the outlet direction and the wind direction keep consistent or keep within a small included angle, so that the backward blowing of wind and snow can be effectively prevented, and the ventilation efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioners, and specifically provides an air conditioner and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] The outdoor units of air conditioners generally include top air outlet and side air outlet. For top air outlet air conditioner outdoor units, when it snows in winter, snowflakes will enter the outdoor unit from the air outlet of the top air outlet air conditioner outdoor unit, which is easy to The snow accumulation on the fan and other components, when the snow accumulation reaches a certain level, will hinder the normal operation of the fan, resulting in poor internal air circulation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, thereby reducing the working efficiency of the air conditioning system, and may cause damage after the snow melts. security incident. [0003] In the prior art, a fixed snow cover is usually used. Specifically, the snow cover is fixed on the top of the box bod...
