Air conditioner and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioners, and particularly relates to an air conditioner and a control method thereof. The air conditioner aims to solve the problem that an existing air conditioner cannot realize 360-degree omni-directional air supply, and the air supply mode of the existing air conditioner is prone to causing uneven heat exchange in all areas of a room. Therefore, an indoor unit of the air conditioner comprises a fixing component and a rotating component which is connected to the fixing component in a rotating mode, an air outlet is formed in the rotating component. The control method comprises the following steps of acquiring distance between an indoor unit and a target object; and according to the distance between the indoor unit and the target object, controlling air supply amount of the air conditioner when the rotating component is at each rotating angle, or the rotating speed of the rotating component. According to the control method, theconditions of different heat exchange areas are determined according to the distance between the indoor unit and a target object, so that the air conditioner can provide different heat exchange schemes for different heat exchange areas, so that temperature in each heat exchange area can be improved at a close speed, so that the use experience of users is effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular relates to an air conditioner and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people have also put forward higher and higher requirements for the living environment. In order to maintain a comfortable ambient temperature, air conditioners have become an essential device in people's lives. In recent years, although the air conditioner technology has been developed to a very mature stage, there are still some areas to be improved in the existing air conditioners. Specifically, in order to flexibly control the air supply direction of the air conditioner, many existing air conditioners are equipped with a swing vane structure. When the air conditioner is in the swing mode, the swing vane of the air conditioner can continuously swing to control the air supply direction. However, the existing air cond...
