Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air-conditioning equipment, and in particular to an air conditioner, a control method for an air conditioner, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, in order to avoid direct blowing, the air conditioner is generally provided with a windless mode. In the windless mode, the entire room is in a windless state, resulting in reduced cooling efficiency and failure to meet user needs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.

[0004] To this end, a first aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner.

[0005] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for controlling an air conditioner.

[0006] A third aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium.

[0007] In view of this, the first aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising: a first air outlet, the air outlet including a first air outlet area and a second air outlet area; an air outlet component, arranged at the first air outlet, the air outlet component including: a first air guide plate, the first air guide plate is provided with a ventilation structure suitable for allowing air flow to pass through, and the first air guide plate is configured to be suitable for shielding the first air outlet area; an air dispersion component, the air dispersion component is configured to be suitable for shielding the second air outlet area; a second air guide plate, arranged in the first air outlet, and configured to distribute the air outlet volume between the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area.

[0008] In this technical solution, the air conditioner is provided with a first air outlet, through which air after heat exchange with the heat exchanger is blown out to achieve cooling or heating. An air outlet assembly is provided at the air outlet, comprising a first air guide plate, an air dispersion assembly, and a second air guide plate. The first air guide plate and the air dispersion assembly are capable of shielding the first and second air outlet areas of the first air outlet, respectively. The ventilation structure provided on the first air guide plate and the air dispersion structure provided on the air dispersion assembly achieve "windless" air outlet.

[0009] Specifically, depending on the air conditioner's installation position and angle, the first and second air outlet areas may face different directions. For example, if the first air outlet area faces "below" the air conditioner and the second air outlet area faces "in front" of the air conditioner, the second air guide plate can distribute the airflow from the first air outlet to either the bottom or the front of the air conditioner, thereby achieving windless downward or windless front airflow.

[0010] When airflow is allocated to the first outlet area (i.e., windless airflow), the airflow from the bottom of the air conditioner increases, while the airflow from the front decreases. This ensures a windless experience in the area in front of the air conditioner where people move. Meanwhile, as the airflow from the bottom increases, the cooling or heating effect of the air conditioner is also maintained. This improves the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner while maintaining a windless experience.

[0011] Furthermore, if the air conditioner is installed above a human activity area, such as at the head of a bed, the airflow can be allocated to the second outlet area, i.e., the front outlet, where there is no draft. This reduces the airflow from the lower level, ensuring a draft-free experience, while increasing the airflow from the front, improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner. This adapts to a variety of usage and installation scenarios, enhancing the user experience.

[0012] In addition, the air conditioner in the above technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0013] In the above technical solution, the air outlet assembly includes multiple first air guide plates, which are configured to rotate to be assembled with each other to block at least part of the first air outlet area, or to rotate to be separated from each other to open the first air outlet area and guide the air outlet direction of the first air outlet area.

[0014] In this technical solution, the air outlet assembly is provided with multiple first air guide plates, and the multiple first air guide plates constitute a "shutter" structure. Specifically, when the multiple first air guide plates rotate together to be flush with each other, the long sides of the multiple first air guide plates are spliced with each other to form a complete structure with a smooth appearance. At this time, the multiple first air guide plates will block at least part of the first air outlet area, and the first air outlet area is in a "windless" state.

[0015] When the first air guide plates rotate together to be staggered with each other, an open air duct is formed between the two adjacent first air guide plates. At this time, the first air guide plates will open the first air outlet area and guide the air outlet direction of the first air outlet through the direction of the first air guide plates.

[0016] Among them, the first air guide plate is rotatably connected to the air conditioner body. The rotatable connection makes it relatively flexible when opening or closing the first air outlet area, and has high reliability.

[0017] In any of the above technical solutions, the multiple first air guide plates are interconnected.

[0018] In this technical solution, multiple first air guide plates are linked to each other, that is, multiple first air guide plates can be driven to move synchronously by one driving member, so that the first air guide plates can quickly switch between the states of opening the first air outlet area and closing the first air outlet area, thereby improving the control efficiency and user experience of the air conditioner.

[0019] In any of the above technical solutions, the ventilation structure includes ventilation holes.

[0020] In this technical solution, the ventilation structure on the first air guide plate includes ventilation holes, and the ventilation holes can be set to multiple. When the air flow passes through the first air guide plate, the overall air flow is divided into multiple small air flows in a disordered manner by the multiple ventilation holes, thereby reducing the energy of the air flow. On the one hand, the direct blowing feeling of the air flow is reduced to achieve a windless feeling. On the other hand, the disordered small air flows can simulate natural wind and improve the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0021] In any of the above technical solutions, the inclination angle of the axis of at least part of the ventilation holes relative to the plumb line is in the range of: greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 15°.

[0022] In this technical solution, the inclination angle of the axis of at least part of the ventilation holes relative to the plumb line is set between 0° and 15°. This can avoid the "whistling" sound generated when the airflow passes through the ventilation holes while ensuring a windless experience, further improving the quietness of the air conditioner and improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0023] In any of the above technical solutions, a portion of the ventilation holes are first ventilation holes, and another portion of the ventilation holes are second ventilation holes, and the inclination angle of the axis of at least a portion of the first ventilation holes relative to the plumb line is greater than or equal to the inclination angle of the axis of at least a portion of the second ventilation holes relative to the plumb line.

[0024] In this technical solution, the inclination angle of the axis of the first ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is different from the inclination angle of the axis of the second ventilation hole relative to the plumb line. Therefore, the flow directions of the multiple small airflows divided by the ventilation holes are also different, which increases the degree of disorder of the small airflows and further improves the effect of no wind feeling.

[0025] In any of the above technical solutions, the range of the inclination angle of the axis of at least part of the first ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is: greater than or equal to 0°, and less than or equal to 30°; the range of the inclination angle of the axis of at least part of the second ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is: greater than or equal to 0°, and less than or equal to 15°.

[0026] In this technical solution, the inclination angle of the axis of the first ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is set between 0° and 30°, and the inclination angle of the second ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is set between 0° and 15°. This can avoid the "whistling" sound generated when the airflow passes through the ventilation holes while ensuring a windless experience, further improving the quietness of the air conditioner and improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0027] In any of the above technical solutions, a wind dispersing structure is formed on the wind dispersing component, and the wind dispersing structure is suitable for allowing airflow to pass through and for diffusing the passing airflow.

[0028] In this technical solution, the wind dispersing assembly is equipped with a wind dispersing structure that disperses and diffuses the airflow passing through the assembly, achieving a "windless" feel and preventing direct blowback. Specifically, the wind dispersing structure can include multiple wind wheels, which are meshed and driven by a gear structure and rotated by a motor to disperse the passing airflow.

[0029] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner has a shell, and a storage compartment is provided on the shell; when the air dispersion component opens the second air outlet area, the air dispersion component is stored in the storage compartment.

[0030] In this technical solution, a storage compartment is provided on the air conditioner housing. When the air dispersion assembly opens the second air outlet area, the air dispersion assembly is stored in the storage compartment. This not only ensures the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner, but also protects the air dispersion structure of the air dispersion assembly from damage by external forces, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0031] In any of the above technical solutions, the shell has a front side wall, a lower side wall, a left end cover and a right end cover; a first air outlet is formed at the transition position between the front side wall and the lower side wall of the shell, and a second air outlet is formed on the left end cover and the right end cover respectively.

[0032] In this technical solution, the air conditioner's first air outlet is specifically oriented toward the "front and lower" side of the unit, allowing the air to cover the entire room as much as possible, improving the unit's cooling or heating efficiency. Furthermore, second air outlets are located on the left and right sides of the unit. These second air outlets provide "side airflow," increasing air volume and improving cooling or heating efficiency while ensuring the air doesn't directly hit people, essentially ensuring a windless effect.

[0033] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet direction of the first air outlet area is toward the direction corresponding to the lower side wall, and the air outlet direction of the second air outlet area is toward the direction corresponding to the front side wall.

[0034] In this technical solution, the first air outlet area directs air toward the lower sidewall and toward the bottom of the air conditioner, while the second air outlet area directs air toward the front sidewall, that is, toward the front of the air conditioner. By adjusting the air volume of the first and second air outlet areas, the overall air volume of the air conditioner can be increased, while ensuring that the air does not directly hit the human body, achieving a windless feeling, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0035] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner also includes: a first driving member, the first driving member is configured to drive the first air guide plate to rotate to be assembled with each other to block at least part of the first air outlet area, or to rotate to be separated from each other to open the first air outlet area and guide the air outlet direction of the first air outlet area; a second driving member, the second driving member is configured to drive the wind dispersion assembly to move relative to the first air outlet to open or block the second air outlet area; a third driving member, the third driving member is configured to drive the second air guide plate to rotate to adjust the air volume distribution between the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area; a controller, the controller is connected to the first driving member, the second driving member and the third driving member, and the controller is configured to control the movement of the first air guide plate, the wind dispersion assembly and the second air guide plate to change the shape of the air outlet assembly.

[0036] In this technical solution, the first, second, and third driving members respectively drive the first air deflector, the air dispersion assembly, and the second air deflector. These are then controlled by a controller to move the first, second, and third driving members to different states, thereby forming different configurations of the air outlet assembly. In these different configurations, the air outlet assembly can switch between normal cooling, heating, or air supply modes, and can also change the air outlet direction, such as downward or forward, to meet the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0037] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner further includes: a communication interface connected to the controller and configured to receive control instructions; the controller controls the air outlet component to change its shape according to the control instructions and / or the operating status of the air conditioner.

[0038] In this technical solution, the communication interface can be a wireless communication interface such as Bluetooth, infrared, or WiFi (a wireless communication standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance), or a wired data connection such as RS232. The controller controls the air outlet assembly to change its configuration based on received control commands and the operating status of the air conditioner to adapt to various usage scenarios.

[0039] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet component has a first form, and when the air outlet component switches to the first form, the first air guide plate opens the first air outlet area, the wind dispersion component opens the second air outlet area, and the second air guide plate makes the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area.

[0040] In this technical solution, the first configuration of the air outlet assembly is suitable for general cooling mode. In this configuration, both the first and second air outlet areas of the first air outlet are open, and the air conditioner primarily delivers air forward to increase the air delivery distance. In this configuration, the air conditioner can lower the room temperature as quickly as possible, achieving rapid cooling.

[0041] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet component has a second form, and when the air outlet component switches to the second form, the first air guide plate opens the first air outlet area, the wind dispersion component opens the second air outlet area, and the second air guide plate makes the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area.

[0042] In this technical solution, the second configuration of the air outlet assembly is suitable for general heating mode. In this configuration, both the first and second air outlet areas of the first air outlet are open, and the air conditioner primarily delivers air downward. Since hot air tends to rise, directing the hot air as low as possible effectively distributes the hot air more evenly throughout the room, preventing hot air from accumulating at the ceiling while cool air remains in the lower reaches of the room, thereby ensuring overall heating effectiveness.

[0043] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet component has a third form, and when the air outlet component switches to the third form, the first air guide plate blocks the first air outlet area, the wind dispersion component blocks the second air outlet area, and the second air guide plate makes the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area.

[0044] In this technical solution, the third configuration of the air outlet assembly is suitable for front-outlet mode (in cooling or heating mode) with no wind. In this configuration, the front and bottom sides of the first air outlet are blocked by the air dispersion assembly and the first air guide, respectively. As a result, the airflow is divided and disrupted into multiple small, chaotic airflows by the air dispersion assembly and the first air guide. This reduces the energy of the airflow and prevents it from directly hitting the human body at high speed. Furthermore, the chaotic small airflows can simulate natural wind, improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0045] At the same time, the air volume is mainly distributed to the second air outlet area, that is, the front of the air conditioner. This can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while increasing the windless effect at the bottom of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0046] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet component has a fourth form, and when the air outlet component switches to the fourth form, the first air guide plate blocks the first air outlet area, the wind dispersion component blocks the second air outlet area, and the second air guide plate makes the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area.

[0047] In this technical solution, the fourth configuration of the air outlet assembly is suitable for the windless downward air outlet mode (in cooling or heating mode). In this configuration, the front and bottom sides of the first air outlet are blocked by the air dispersion assembly and the first air guide, respectively. As a result, the airflow is divided and disrupted into multiple small, chaotic airflows by the air dispersion assembly and the first air guide. This reduces the energy of the airflow and prevents it from directly hitting the human body at high speed. Furthermore, the chaotic small airflows can simulate natural wind, improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0048] At the same time, the air volume is mainly distributed to the first air outlet area, that is, the front of the air conditioner. This can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while increasing the windless effect in the front of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0049] The second aspect of the present invention provides a control method for an air conditioner, which is used to control an air conditioner provided in any of the above technical solutions. The control method includes: receiving a control instruction and determining the operating mode of the air conditioner; and controlling the switching form of the air outlet component of the air conditioner according to the control instruction and / or the operating mode.

[0050] In this technical solution, the air outlet component of the air conditioner is controlled to switch its form according to the received control instructions and the operating mode of the air conditioner. In different forms, the air outlet component can switch between normal cooling, heating or air supply modes, and can also change the air outlet direction, such as downward air outlet or front air outlet, to meet the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0051] In the above technical solution, the operating mode includes a cooling mode. The operating mode is determined to be the cooling mode, and the steps of controlling the air outlet component of the air conditioner to switch the form specifically include: controlling the first air guide plate to open the first air outlet area, controlling the wind dispersion component to open the second air outlet area, and controlling the second air guide plate to make the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area, so that the air outlet component switches to the first form.

[0052] In this technical solution, when the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, the air outlet assembly is controlled to switch to the first mode. In the first mode, both the first and second air outlet areas of the first air outlet are open, and the air conditioner primarily delivers air forward to increase the air delivery distance. In this mode, the air conditioner can reduce the room temperature as quickly as possible, achieving rapid cooling.

[0053] In any of the above technical solutions, the operating mode includes a heating mode, and the operating mode is determined to be a heating mode. The steps of controlling the air outlet component of the air conditioner to switch the form specifically include: controlling the first air guide plate to open the first air outlet area, controlling the wind dispersion component to open the second air outlet area, and controlling the second air guide plate to make the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area, so that the air outlet component switches to the second form.

[0054] In this technical solution, when the air conditioner is operating in heating mode, the air outlet assembly is controlled to switch to the second mode. In the second mode, both the first and second air outlet areas of the first air outlet are open, and the air conditioner primarily delivers air downward. Since hot air tends to rise, directing it as low as possible effectively distributes the hot air more evenly throughout the room, preventing hot air from accumulating at the ceiling while cool air remains in the lower reaches of the room, thereby ensuring overall heating effectiveness.

[0055] In any of the above technical solutions, the control instruction includes a first no-wind control instruction, which determines that the operating mode is the cooling mode, and the control instruction is the first no-wind control instruction. The steps of controlling the air outlet component of the air conditioner to switch the form specifically include: controlling the first air guide plate to block the first air outlet area, controlling the wind dispersion component to block the second air outlet area, and controlling the second air guide plate to make the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area, so that the air outlet component switches to the third form.

[0056] In this technical solution, when the air conditioner receives a first no-wind control command in cooling mode, specifically a no-wind front airflow command, the air outlet assembly is controlled to enter the third mode. In this third mode, the front and bottom sides of the first air outlet are blocked by the wind dispersion assembly and the second air guide, respectively. As a result, the airflow is divided and disrupted into multiple small, chaotic airflows by the wind dispersion assembly and the first air guide. This reduces the energy of the airflow and prevents it from directly hitting the human body at high speed. Furthermore, the chaotic small airflows can simulate natural wind, improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0057] At the same time, the air volume is mainly distributed to the second air outlet area, that is, the front of the air conditioner. This can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while increasing the windless effect at the bottom of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0058] In any of the above technical solutions, the control instruction includes a second no-wind control instruction, and the operating mode is determined to be the cooling mode, and the control instruction is the second no-wind control instruction. The steps of controlling the air outlet component of the air conditioner to switch the form specifically include: controlling the first air guide plate to block the first air outlet area, controlling the wind dispersion component to block the second air outlet area, and controlling the second air guide plate to make the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area greater than the air outlet of the second air outlet area, so that the air outlet component switches to the fourth form.

[0059] In this technical solution, when the air conditioner receives a second no-wind control command in cooling mode, specifically a no-wind downside airflow command, the air outlet assembly is controlled to enter the fourth mode. In this fourth mode, the front and bottom sides of the first air outlet are blocked by the wind dispersion assembly and the first air guide, respectively. As a result, the airflow is divided and disrupted into multiple small, chaotic airflows by the wind dispersion assembly and the first air guide. This reduces the energy of the airflow and prevents it from directly hitting the human body at high speed. Furthermore, the chaotic small airflows simulate natural wind, improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0060] At the same time, the air volume is mainly distributed to the first air outlet area, that is, the front of the air conditioner. This can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while increasing the windless effect in the front of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0061] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet assembly includes a first air guide plate, an air dispersion assembly and a second air guide plate, and the air conditioner is further provided with a first driving member for driving the first air guide plate, a second driving member for driving the air dispersion assembly and a third driving member for driving the second air guide plate; the steps of controlling the first air guide plate to open the first air outlet area, controlling the air dispersion assembly to open the second air outlet area, and controlling the second air guide plate to make the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area specifically include: controlling the second driving member to rotate the first rotation angle along the first rotation direction, and controlling the third driving member to rotate the second rotation angle along the second rotation direction; controlling the first air guide plate to open the first air outlet area, controlling the air dispersion assembly to open the second air outlet area, and controlling the second air guide plate to make the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area specifically include: controlling the second driving member to rotate the first rotation angle along the first rotation direction Rotation angle, controlling the first driving member to rotate along the first rotation direction by a third rotation angle, and controlling the third driving member to rotate along the first rotation direction by a fourth rotation angle; controlling the first air guide plate to block the first air outlet area, controlling the wind dispersion component to block the second air outlet area, and controlling the second air guide plate to make the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area, specifically includes: controlling the second driving member to rotate along the first rotation direction by a first rotation angle, controlling the third driving member to rotate along the first rotation direction by a fifth rotation angle; controlling the first air guide plate to block the first air outlet area, controlling the wind dispersion component to block the second air outlet area, and controlling the second air guide plate to make the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area, specifically includes: controlling the second driving member to rotate along the first rotation direction by a first rotation angle, controlling the third driving member to rotate along the first rotation direction by a sixth rotation angle; wherein, the first rotation direction and the second rotation direction are opposite.

[0062] In this technical solution, the air conditioner is also provided with a first drive member, a second drive member and a third drive member; the first air guide plate, the wind dispersion assembly and the second air guide plate are driven respectively by the first drive member, the second drive member and the third drive member, and the first drive member, the second drive member and the third drive member are controlled to work by the controller, so that the first air guide plate, the wind dispersion assembly and the second air guide plate move to different states, thereby forming different forms of the air outlet assembly.

[0063] Specifically, the first rotation direction may be counterclockwise, and the corresponding second rotation direction may be clockwise. The first rotation angle, the second rotation angle, the third rotation angle, the fourth rotation angle, the fifth rotation angle, and the sixth rotation angle may be adjusted according to the transmission ratio of the corresponding driving member.

[0064] In any of the above technical solutions, it is determined that the operating mode is the heating mode, and the control instruction is the first windless control instruction. The steps of controlling the switching form of the air outlet component of the air conditioner specifically include: controlling the second driving member to rotate along the second rotation direction by a first rotation angle, controlling the first driving member to rotate along the second rotation direction by a second rotation angle, and controlling the third driving member to rotate along the first rotation direction by a seventh rotation angle; wherein the seventh rotation angle is equal to the sum of the fourth rotation angle and the second rotation angle minus the fifth rotation angle.

[0065] In this technical solution, when the air conditioner receives a first no-wind sense command in heating mode, the first air deflector and the air dispersion assembly are controlled to block the first and second air outlet areas, respectively. At this time, the third driving member is controlled to rotate counterclockwise by a seventh rotation angle, which is determined by subtracting the fifth rotation angle from the sum of the fourth and second rotation angles. In this state, the air conditioner primarily delivers heated air downward while ensuring no wind sense.

[0066] In any of the above technical solutions, it is determined that the operating mode is the heating mode, and the control instruction is the second windless control instruction. The steps of controlling the switching form of the air outlet component of the air conditioner specifically include: controlling the second driving member to rotate along the second rotation direction by a first rotation angle, controlling the first driving member to rotate along the second rotation direction by a second rotation angle, and controlling the third driving member not to move.

[0067] In this technical solution, when the air conditioner receives the second no-wind command in heating mode, the first air deflector and the air dispersion assembly are controlled to block the first and second air outlet areas, respectively, while the third driving element is controlled to be inactive. In this state, the air conditioner primarily delivers hot air to the front while ensuring no wind.

[0068] In any of the above technical solutions, determining that the operating mode is the air supply mode and controlling the switching form of the air outlet component of the air conditioner specifically include: controlling the second driving member to rotate along the first rotation direction by a first rotation angle, and controlling the third driving member to rotate along the second rotation direction by an eighth rotation angle.

[0069] In this technical solution, when the air conditioner is operating in air supply mode, the first air guide and the air dispersion assembly are controlled to open the first and second air outlet areas, while the second air guide is simultaneously controlled to rotate to the air supply angle. The eighth rotation angle can be adjusted based on the transmission ratio of the corresponding drive element. In air supply mode, the air flow from the air conditioner can cover most of the room.

[0070] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner also includes a swing blade and a fourth drive member, the fourth drive member is configured to drive the swing blade to swing along the extension direction of the first air outlet; and the control instruction is determined to be a first wind sweeping instruction, and the control method also includes: after controlling the fourth drive member to rotate along the second rotation direction for a ninth rotation angle, controlling the fourth drive member to rotate along the first rotation direction for a ninth rotation angle, and reciprocating; determining that the control instruction is a second wind sweeping instruction, the control method also includes: after controlling the third drive member to rotate along the second rotation direction for a tenth rotation angle, controlling the third drive member to rotate along the first rotation direction for a tenth rotation angle, and reciprocating.

[0071] In this technical solution, the air conditioner includes a swing blade that, driven by a fourth drive member, can swing along the extension direction of the first air outlet, specifically swinging left and right, to achieve left and right air sweeping. Specifically, upon receiving a first air sweeping instruction, specifically a left and right air sweeping instruction, the fourth drive member first rotates in a first rotation direction, i.e., counterclockwise, by a ninth rotation angle, then rotates clockwise by a ninth rotation angle, and repeats these steps to achieve left and right air sweeping.

[0072] If a second wind sweeping instruction is received, specifically an up and down wind sweeping instruction, the third driving member is controlled to rotate clockwise by the tenth rotation angle, and then the third driving member is controlled to rotate counterclockwise by the tenth angle, and the above steps are repeated to achieve up and down wind sweeping.

[0074] In this technical solution, the air conditioner includes a fan. When the air conditioner operates in cooling mode, the fan operates at a first speed. If a no-wind control command is received, the fan speed is controlled to decrease to a second speed to ensure a no-wind effect. If the air conditioner operates in heating mode, the fan is controlled to operate at a third speed. If the air conditioner operates in air supply mode, the fan is controlled to operate at a fourth speed to achieve different air supply effects.

It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other.

[0095] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0096] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 15 An air conditioner, a method for controlling the air conditioner, and a computer-readable storage medium according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0097] Example 1

[0098] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, comprising:

[0099] The first air outlet 100 includes a first air outlet area 102 and a second air outlet area 104; the air outlet component 200 is arranged in the first air outlet 100, and the air outlet component 200 includes: a first air guide plate 202, the first air guide plate 202 is provided with a ventilation structure suitable for allowing air flow to pass through, and the first air guide plate 202 is configured to be suitable for shielding the first air outlet area 102; the wind dispersion component 204, the wind dispersion component 204 is configured to be suitable for shielding the second air outlet area 104; the second air guide plate 206 is arranged in the first air outlet 100, and is configured to distribute the air outlet volume between the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104.

[0100] The air outlet assembly 200 includes a plurality of first air guide plates 202 , which are configured to rotate to fit together to block at least part of the first air outlet area 102 , or to rotate to separate from each other to open the first air outlet area 102 and guide the air outlet direction of the first air outlet area 102 .

[0101] The plurality of first air guide plates 202 are interconnected. The ventilation structure includes ventilation holes. The inclination angle of the axis of at least some of the ventilation holes relative to the plumb line ranges from greater than or equal to 0° to less than or equal to 15°.

[0102] An air dispersion structure is formed on the air dispersion component 204. The air dispersion structure is suitable for allowing airflow to pass through and for diffusing the airflow passing through.

[0103] The air conditioner has a housing 300 , and a storage compartment 302 is provided on the housing 300 ; when the air dispersion component 204 opens the second air outlet area 104 , the air dispersion component 204 is stored in the storage compartment 302 .

[0104] The shell 300 has a front side wall 304, a lower side wall, a left end cover 306 and a right end cover 308; a first air outlet 100 is formed at the transition position between the front side wall 304 of the shell 300 and the lower side wall of the shell 300, and a second air outlet 310 is formed on the left end cover 306 and the right end cover 308 respectively.

[0105] The air outlet direction of the first air outlet area 102 is toward the direction corresponding to the lower side wall, and the air outlet direction of the second air outlet area 104 is toward the direction corresponding to the front side wall 304 .

[0106] In this embodiment, the air conditioner is provided with a first air outlet 100, through which air after heat exchange with a heat exchanger 500 is blown out to achieve cooling or heating. An air outlet assembly 200 is provided at the air outlet, and the air outlet assembly 200 includes a first air guide plate 202, an air dispersion assembly 204, and a second air guide plate 206. The first air guide plate 202 and the air dispersion assembly 204 can respectively block the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104 of the first air outlet 100. The ventilation structure provided on the first air guide plate 202 and the air dispersion structure provided on the air dispersion assembly 204 achieve "windless" air outlet.

[0107] An air duct is formed in the air conditioner, and a heat exchanger 500 and a fan 400 are arranged in the air duct.

[0108] The air outlet assembly 200 is provided with a plurality of first air guide plates 202, and the plurality of first air guide plates 202 constitute a "louver" structure. Specifically, when the plurality of first air guide plates 202 rotate together to be flush with each other, the long sides of the plurality of first air guide plates 202 are spliced with each other to form a complete structure with a smooth appearance. At this time, the plurality of first air guide plates 202 will block at least part of the first air outlet area 102, and the first air outlet area 102 is in a "windless" state.

[0109] Among them, the definition of "no wind feeling" is as follows: when the average wind speed is less than 0.1m / s within the range of 2.5 meters to 3 meters from the air outlet of the air conditioner, or when the DR (air delivery ratio) value ranges from 5 to 20 at a distance of 2.5 meters or less from the air outlet, it is considered "no wind feeling" at this time.

[0110] When the first air guide plates 202 rotate together to be staggered with each other, an open air duct is formed between the two adjacent first air guide plates 202. At this time, the first air guide plates 202 will open the first air outlet area 102 and guide the air outlet direction of the first air outlet 100 through the direction of the first air guide plates 202.

[0111] The first air guide plate 202 is rotationally connected to the air conditioner body. The rotational connection makes it relatively flexible when opening or closing the first air outlet area 102 and has high reliability.

[0112] The multiple first air guide plates 202 are linked to each other, that is, the multiple first air guide plates 202 can be driven to move synchronously by one driving member, so that the first air guide plates 202 can quickly switch between the states of opening the first air outlet area 102 and closing the first air outlet area 102, thereby improving the control efficiency and user experience of the air conditioner.

[0113] The ventilation structure on the first air guide plate 202 includes ventilation holes, and a plurality of ventilation holes can be provided. When the air flow passes through the first air guide plate 202, the overall air flow is divided into multiple small air flows in a disordered manner by the multiple ventilation holes, thereby reducing the energy of the air flow. On the one hand, the direct blowing feeling of the air flow is reduced to achieve a windless feeling. On the other hand, the disordered small air flows can simulate natural wind and improve the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0114] The inclination angle of the axis of at least some of the ventilation holes relative to the plumb line is set between 0° and 15°, which can avoid the "whistling" sound when the airflow passes through the ventilation holes while ensuring a windless experience, further improving the quietness of the air conditioner and improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0115] The wind dispersing assembly 204 is provided with a wind dispersing structure that disperses and diffuses the airflow passing through the wind dispersing assembly 204, achieving a "windless" feel and preventing direct blows. Specifically, the wind dispersing structure may include multiple wind wheels that are engaged by a gear structure and rotated by a motor to disperse the airflow.

[0116] The air conditioner housing 300 is provided with a storage compartment 302. When the air dispersion assembly 204 opens the second air outlet area 104, the air dispersion assembly 204 is stored in the storage compartment 302. This not only ensures the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner, but also protects the air dispersion structure of the air dispersion assembly 204 from damage by external forces, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0117] The air conditioner's first air outlet 100 is oriented toward the lower front side of the unit, allowing the air to cover the entire room as much as possible, thereby improving the unit's cooling or heating efficiency. Secondary air outlets 310 are also located on the left and right sides of the unit. These second air outlets 310 enable "side airflow," increasing the air volume and thus the unit's cooling or heating efficiency, while ensuring that the airflow does not directly hit the human body, thus ensuring a windless effect.

[0118] The housing 300 further includes an upper side wall, on which an air inlet 312 is provided.

[0119] In this technical solution, the airflow direction of the first air outlet area 102 is toward the direction corresponding to the lower side wall and toward the bottom of the air conditioner, while the airflow direction of the second air outlet area 104 is toward the direction corresponding to the front side wall 304, that is, toward the front of the air conditioner. By adjusting the airflow volume of the first and second air outlet areas 102, 104, the overall airflow volume of the air conditioner can be increased, while ensuring that the airflow does not directly blow on the human body, achieving a windless feeling, and improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0120] Specifically, depending on the installation position and installation angle of the air conditioner, the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104 may face different directions. For example, if the first air outlet area 102 faces the "bottom" of the air conditioner and the second air outlet area 104 faces the "front" of the air conditioner, the second air guide plate 206 can distribute the airflow from the first air outlet 100 to the bottom or the front of the air conditioner, thereby achieving windless downward airflow or windless front airflow.

[0121] When the air volume is allocated to the first air outlet area 102, i.e., when the air volume is discharged in a windless manner, the air volume at the bottom of the air conditioner increases, while the air volume at the front decreases. Therefore, the area in front of the air conditioner where people move around can maintain a windless experience. Meanwhile, as the air volume at the bottom of the air conditioner increases, the cooling or heating effect of the air conditioner is also maintained. In other words, while maintaining a windless experience, the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner is improved.

[0122] Furthermore, if the air conditioner is installed above a human activity area, such as at the head of a bed, the air volume can be distributed to the second air outlet area 104, i.e., the front air outlet with no wind sensation. In this case, the air volume at the lower level of the air conditioner is reduced, ensuring a no-wind sensation for the human body, while the air volume at the front side is increased, improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner. This adapts to various usage and installation scenarios and enhances the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0123] Example 2

[0124] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes: a first driving member 208, the first driving member 208 is configured to drive the first air guide plate 202 to rotate to be assembled with each other to block at least part of the first air outlet area 102, or to rotate to be separated from each other to open the first air outlet area 102 and guide the air outlet direction of the first air outlet area 102; a second driving member 210, the second driving member 210 is configured to drive the wind dispersion component 204 to move relative to the first air outlet 100 to open or block the second air outlet area 104; a third driving member 212, the third driving member 212 is configured to drive the second air guide plate 206 to rotate to adjust the air volume distribution between the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104; a controller, the controller is connected to the first driving member 208, the second driving member 210 and the third driving member 212, and the controller is configured to control the movement of the first air guide plate 202, the wind dispersion component 204 and the second air guide plate 206 to change the shape of the air outlet component 200.

[0125] The communication interface is connected to the controller and is configured to receive control instructions; the controller controls the air outlet component 200 to change its shape according to the control instructions and / or the operating status of the air conditioner.

[0126] In this embodiment, the first air guide plate 202, the air dispersion assembly 204, and the second air guide plate 206 are driven respectively by the first driving member 208, the second driving member 210, and the third driving member 212. The first driving member 208, the second driving member 210, and the third driving member 212 are controlled by a controller to operate so as to move the first air guide plate 202, the air dispersion assembly 204, and the second air guide plate 206 to different states, thereby forming different configurations of the air outlet assembly 200. In different configurations, the air outlet assembly 200 can switch between normal cooling, heating, or air supply modes, and can also change the air outlet direction, such as downward or forward, to meet the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0127] The communication interface can be a wireless communication interface, such as a Bluetooth connection, an infrared connection, or a WiFi (wireless communication standard established by the Wi-Fi Alliance) connection, or a wired data connection, such as RS232. The controller controls the air outlet assembly 200 to change its shape based on the received control instructions and the operating status of the air conditioner to adapt to various usage scenarios.

[0128] Example 3

[0129] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet component 200 has a first form, and when the air outlet component 200 switches to the first form, the first air guide plate 202 opens the first air outlet area 102, the wind dispersion component 204 opens the second air outlet area 104, and the second air guide plate 206 makes the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area 104 greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area 102.

[0130] like Figure 6 As shown, the air outlet component 200 has a second form, and when the air outlet component 200 switches to the second form, the first air guide plate 202 opens the first air outlet area 102, the wind dispersion component 204 opens the second air outlet area 104, and the second air guide plate 206 makes the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area 102 greater than the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area 104.

[0131] like Figure 7 As shown, the air outlet component 200 has a third form, and when the air outlet component 200 switches to the third form, the first air guide plate 202 blocks the first air outlet area 102, the wind dispersion component 204 blocks the second air outlet area 104, and the second air guide plate 206 makes the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area 104 greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area 102.

[0132] like Figure 8As shown, the air outlet component 200 has a fourth form, and when the air outlet component 200 switches to the fourth form, the first air guide plate 202 blocks the first air outlet area 102, the wind dispersion component 204 blocks the second air outlet area 104, and the second air guide plate 206 makes the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area 102 greater than the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area 104.

[0133] In this embodiment, the first configuration of the air outlet assembly 200 is suitable for general cooling mode. In this configuration, both the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104 of the first air outlet 100 are open, and the air conditioner primarily delivers air forward to increase the air delivery distance. In this configuration, the air conditioner can lower the room temperature at the fastest speed, achieving rapid cooling.

[0134] The second configuration of the air outlet assembly 200 is suitable for general heating mode. In this configuration, both the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104 of the first air outlet 100 are open, and the air conditioner primarily delivers air downward. Since hot air tends to rise, directing the hot air as low as possible effectively distributes the hot air more evenly throughout the room, preventing hot air from accumulating at the ceiling while cool air remains in the lower reaches of the room, thereby ensuring overall heating effectiveness.

[0135] The third configuration of the air outlet assembly 200 is suitable for front-outlet mode (in cooling or heating mode) with no wind. In this configuration, the front and bottom sides of the first air outlet 100 are blocked by the air dispersion assembly 204 and the first air guide plate 202, respectively. As a result, the airflow is divided and disrupted into multiple small, chaotic airflows by the air dispersion assembly 204 and the first air guide plate 202. This reduces the energy of the airflow and prevents it from directly hitting the human body at high speed. Furthermore, the chaotic small airflows simulate natural wind, improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0136] At the same time, the air volume is mainly distributed to the second air outlet area 104, that is, the front of the air conditioner, which can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while increasing the windless effect at the bottom of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0137] The fourth configuration of the air outlet assembly 200 is suitable for use in a windless, downflow mode (in cooling or heating mode). In this configuration, the front and bottom sides of the first air outlet 100 are blocked by the air dispersion assembly 204 and the first air guide plate 202, respectively. Consequently, the airflow is divided and disrupted into multiple, small, and chaotic streams by the air dispersion assembly 204 and the first air guide plate 202. This reduces the energy of the airflow and prevents it from directly hitting the human body at high speed. Furthermore, the small, chaotic streams simulate natural wind, enhancing the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0138] At the same time, the air volume is mainly distributed to the first air outlet area 102, that is, the front of the air conditioner, which can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while increasing the windless effect in the front of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0139] Example 4

[0140] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the number of the first air guide plate 202 can be set to one. When the number of the first air guide plate 202 is one, if the first air guide plate 202 blocks the first air outlet 100, the first air guide plate 202 cooperates with the housing of the air conditioner to ensure the complete appearance of the air conditioner.

[0141] The first air guide plate 202 is provided with a ventilation structure, specifically a ventilation hole.

[0142] Some of the ventilation holes are first ventilation holes, and other ventilation holes are second ventilation holes, and the inclination angle of the axis of at least some of the first ventilation holes relative to the plumb line is greater than or equal to the inclination angle of the axis of at least some of the second ventilation holes relative to the plumb line.

[0143] The range of the inclination angle of the axis of at least part of the first ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is: greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 30°; the range of the inclination angle of the axis of at least part of the second ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is: greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 15°.

[0144] The inclination angle of the axis of the first ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is different from the inclination angle of the axis of the second ventilation hole relative to the plumb line. Therefore, the flow directions of the multiple small airflows divided by the ventilation holes are also different, which increases the degree of disorder of the small airflows and further improves the effect of no wind.

[0145] The inclination angle of the axis of the first ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is set between 0° and 30°, and the inclination angle of the second ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is set between 0° and 15°. This can avoid the "whistling" sound when the airflow passes through the ventilation holes while ensuring a windless experience, further improving the quietness of the air conditioner and improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0146] The following combination Figures 9 to 13 , the embodiment in which the number of the first air guide plate 202 is one is specifically described:

[0147] The shell 300 of the air conditioner includes a front side wall 304, a lower side wall, a left end cover 306 and a right end cover 308. A first air outlet 100, i.e., a front air outlet, is formed at the transition position between the front side wall 304 and the lower side wall, and a second air outlet 310, i.e., a side air outlet, is formed on the left end cover 306 and the right end cover 308.

[0148] Among them, Figure 9 As shown, the first air outlet 100 includes a first air outlet area 102 and a second air outlet area 104; an air outlet component 200 is arranged in the first air outlet 100, and the air outlet component 200 includes: a first air guide plate 202, and the first air guide plate 202 is provided with a ventilation structure suitable for allowing air flow to pass through, and the first air guide plate 202 is configured to be suitable for shielding the first air outlet area 102; an air dispersion component 204, and the air dispersion component 204 is configured to be suitable for shielding the second air outlet area 104; a second air guide plate 206 is arranged in the first air outlet 100, and is configured to distribute the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104.

[0149] An air dispersion structure is formed on the air dispersion component 204. The air dispersion structure is suitable for allowing airflow to pass through and for diffusing the airflow passing through.

[0150] The air conditioner has a housing 300 , and a storage compartment 302 is provided on the housing 300 ; when the air dispersion component 204 opens the second air outlet area 104 , the air dispersion component 204 is stored in the storage compartment 302 .

[0151] The shell 300 has a front side wall 304, a lower side wall, a left end cover 306 and a right end cover 308; a first air outlet 100 is formed at the transition position between the front side wall 304 of the shell 300 and the lower side wall of the shell 300, and a second air outlet 310 is formed on the left end cover 306 and the right end cover 308 respectively.

[0152] The air outlet direction of the first air outlet area 102 is toward the direction corresponding to the lower side wall, and the air outlet direction of the second air outlet area 104 is toward the direction corresponding to the front side wall 304 .

[0153] Specifically, if Figure 10 As shown, the air outlet component 200 has a first form, and when the air outlet component 200 switches to the first form, the first air guide plate 202 opens the first air outlet area 102, the wind dispersion component 204 opens the second air outlet area 104, and the second air guide plate 206 makes the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area 104 greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area 102.

[0154] like Figure 11As shown, the air outlet component 200 has a second form, and when the air outlet component 200 switches to the second form, the first air guide plate 202 opens the first air outlet area 102, the wind dispersion component 204 opens the second air outlet area 104, and the second air guide plate 206 makes the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area 102 greater than the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area 104.

[0155] like Figure 12 As shown, the air outlet component 200 has a third form, and when the air outlet component 200 switches to the third form, the first air guide plate 202 blocks the first air outlet area 102, the wind dispersion component 204 blocks the second air outlet area 104, and the second air guide plate 206 makes the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area 104 greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area 102.

[0156] like Figure 13 As shown, the air outlet component 200 has a fourth form, and when the air outlet component 200 switches to the fourth form, the first air guide plate 202 blocks the first air outlet area 102, the wind dispersion component 204 blocks the second air outlet area 104, and the second air guide plate 206 makes the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area 102 greater than the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area 104.

[0157] The first configuration of the air outlet assembly 200 is suitable for general cooling mode. In this configuration, both the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104 of the first air outlet 100 are open, and the air conditioner primarily delivers air forward to increase the air delivery distance. In this configuration, the air conditioner can lower the room temperature as quickly as possible, achieving rapid cooling.

[0158] The second configuration of the air outlet assembly 200 is suitable for general heating mode. In this configuration, both the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104 of the first air outlet 100 are open, and the air conditioner primarily delivers air downward. Since hot air tends to rise, directing the hot air as low as possible effectively distributes the hot air more evenly throughout the room, preventing hot air from accumulating at the ceiling while cool air remains in the lower reaches of the room, thereby ensuring overall heating effectiveness.

[0159] The third configuration of the air outlet assembly 200 is suitable for front-outlet mode (in cooling or heating mode) with no wind. In this configuration, the front and bottom sides of the first air outlet 100 are blocked by the air dispersion assembly 204 and the first air guide plate 202, respectively. As a result, the airflow is divided and disrupted into multiple small, chaotic airflows by the air dispersion assembly 204 and the first air guide plate 202. This reduces the energy of the airflow and prevents it from directly hitting the human body at high speed. Furthermore, the chaotic small airflows simulate natural wind, improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0160] At the same time, the air volume is mainly distributed to the second air outlet area 104, that is, the front of the air conditioner, which can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while increasing the windless effect at the bottom of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0161] The fourth configuration of the air outlet assembly 200 is suitable for use in a windless, downflow mode (in cooling or heating mode). In this configuration, the front and bottom sides of the first air outlet 100 are blocked by the air dispersion assembly 204 and the first air guide plate 202, respectively. Consequently, the airflow is divided and disrupted into multiple, small, and chaotic streams by the air dispersion assembly 204 and the first air guide plate 202. This reduces the energy of the airflow and prevents it from directly hitting the human body at high speed. Furthermore, the small, chaotic streams simulate natural wind, enhancing the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0162] At the same time, the air volume is mainly distributed to the first air outlet area 102, that is, the front of the air conditioner, which can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while increasing the windless effect in the front of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0163] Example 5

[0164] like Figure 14 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, for controlling the air conditioner provided in any of the above embodiments, the control method comprising:

[0165] Step S902, receiving a control instruction and determining an operating mode of the air conditioner;

[0166] Step S904: Control the air outlet components of the air conditioner to switch modes according to the control instruction and / or the operating mode.

[0167] In this embodiment, the air outlet component of the air conditioner is controlled to switch modes according to the received control instructions and the operating mode of the air conditioner. In different modes, the air outlet component can switch between normal cooling, heating or air supply modes, and can also change the air outlet direction, such as downward air outlet or front air outlet, to meet the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0168] Among them, the operating modes of the air conditioner include cooling mode, heating mode, air supply mode, etc.

[0169] Example 6

[0170] In one embodiment of the present invention, the operating mode includes a cooling mode, and the step of determining that the operating mode is the cooling mode and controlling the switching state of the air outlet component of the air conditioner specifically includes:

[0171] The first air guide plate is controlled to open the first air outlet area, the wind dispersion component is controlled to open the second air outlet area, and the second air guide plate is controlled to make the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area, so that the air outlet component switches to the first form.

[0172] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, the air outlet assembly is controlled to switch to the first mode. In the first mode, both the first and second air outlet areas of the first air outlet are open, and the air conditioner primarily delivers air forward to increase the air delivery distance. In this mode, the air conditioner can reduce the room temperature as quickly as possible, achieving rapid cooling.

[0173] Example 7

[0174] In one embodiment of the present invention, the operating mode includes a heating mode, and the step of determining that the operating mode is the heating mode and controlling the switching state of the air outlet component of the air conditioner specifically includes:

[0175] Control the first air guide plate to open the first air outlet area, control the wind dispersion component to open the second air outlet area, and control the second air guide plate to make the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area, so that the air outlet component switches to the second form.

[0176] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is operating in heating mode, the air outlet assembly is controlled to switch to the second mode. In the second mode, both the first and second air outlet areas of the first air outlet are open, and the air conditioner primarily delivers air downward. Because hot air tends to rise, directing the hot air to as low a level as possible effectively distributes the hot air more evenly throughout the room, preventing hot air from accumulating at the ceiling while cool air remains in the lower reaches of the room, thereby ensuring overall heating effectiveness.

[0177] Example 8

[0178] In one embodiment of the present invention, the control instruction includes a first no-wind control instruction, and the step of determining that the operating mode is the cooling mode and the control instruction is the first no-wind control instruction, and controlling the air outlet component of the air conditioner to switch the form specifically includes:

[0179] The first air guide plate is controlled to block the first air outlet area, the wind dispersion component is controlled to block the second air outlet area, and the second air guide plate is controlled to make the air outlet volume of the second air outlet area greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet area, so that the air outlet component switches to the third form.

[0180] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner receives a first no-wind control command in cooling mode, specifically a no-wind front airflow command, the air outlet assembly is controlled to enter the third mode. In the third mode, the front and bottom sides of the first air outlet are blocked by the wind dispersion assembly and the second air guide, respectively. As a result, the airflow is divided and disrupted into multiple small, chaotic airflows by the wind dispersion assembly and the first air guide. This reduces the energy of the airflow and prevents it from directly hitting the human body at high speed. Furthermore, the chaotic small airflows simulate natural wind, improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0181] At the same time, the air volume is mainly distributed to the second air outlet area, that is, the front of the air conditioner. This can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while increasing the windless effect at the bottom of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0182] Embodiment 9

[0185] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner receives a second no-wind control command in cooling mode, specifically a no-wind downside airflow command, the air outlet assembly is controlled to enter the fourth mode. In the fourth mode, the front and bottom sides of the first air outlet are blocked by the wind dispersion assembly and the first air guide, respectively. As a result, the airflow is divided and disrupted into multiple, chaotic small airflows by the wind dispersion assembly and the first air guide. This reduces the energy of the airflow and prevents it from directly hitting the human body at high speed. Furthermore, the chaotic small airflows simulate natural wind, improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0186] At the same time, the air volume is mainly distributed to the first air outlet area, that is, the front of the air conditioner. This can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while increasing the windless effect in the front of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0196] The second driving member is controlled to rotate along the first rotation direction by a first rotation angle, and the third driving member is controlled to rotate along the first rotation direction by a sixth rotation angle.

[0197] The first rotation direction and the second rotation direction are opposite.

[0198] In this embodiment, the air conditioner is further provided with a first drive member, a second drive member and a third drive member; the first air guide plate, the wind dispersion assembly and the second air guide plate are driven respectively by the first drive member, the second drive member and the third drive member, and the first drive member, the second drive member and the third drive member are controlled to work by the controller, so that the first air guide plate, the wind dispersion assembly and the second air guide plate move to different states, thereby forming different forms of the air outlet assembly.

[0199] Specifically, the first rotation direction may be counterclockwise, and the corresponding second rotation direction may be clockwise. The first rotation angle, the second rotation angle, the third rotation angle, the fourth rotation angle, the fifth rotation angle, and the sixth rotation angle may be adjusted according to the transmission ratio of the corresponding driving member.

[0200] Example 11

[0201] In one embodiment of the present invention, it is determined that the operating mode is a heating mode, and the control instruction is a first windless control instruction, and the steps of controlling the switching form of the air outlet component of the air conditioner specifically include: controlling the second driving member to rotate along the second rotation direction by a first rotation angle, controlling the first driving member to rotate along the second rotation direction by a second rotation angle, and controlling the third driving member to rotate along the first rotation direction by a seventh rotation angle; wherein the seventh rotation angle is equal to the sum of the fourth rotation angle and the second rotation angle minus the fifth rotation angle.

[0202] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner receives a first no-wind sense command in heating mode, the first air deflector and the air dispersion assembly are controlled to block the first and second air outlet areas, respectively. At this time, the third driving member is controlled to rotate counterclockwise by a seventh rotation angle, which is determined by subtracting the fifth rotation angle from the sum of the fourth and second rotation angles. In this state, the air conditioner primarily delivers heated air downward while ensuring a no-wind sense.

[0203] Example 12

[0204] In one embodiment of the present invention, it is determined that the operating mode is a heating mode, and the control instruction is a second windless control instruction. The steps of controlling the switching form of the air outlet component of the air conditioner specifically include: controlling the second driving member to rotate along the second rotation direction by a first rotation angle, controlling the first driving member to rotate along the second rotation direction by a second rotation angle, and controlling the third driving member not to move.

[0206] The air conditioner also includes a swing blade and a fourth drive member, the fourth drive member is configured to drive the swing blade to swing along the extension direction of the first air outlet; and when the control instruction is determined to be a first wind sweeping instruction, the control method also includes: after controlling the fourth drive member to rotate along the second rotation direction for a ninth rotation angle, controlling the fourth drive member to rotate along the first rotation direction for a ninth rotation angle, and reciprocating; when determining that the control instruction is a second wind sweeping instruction, the control method also includes: after controlling the third drive member to rotate along the second rotation direction for a tenth rotation angle, controlling the third drive member to rotate along the first rotation direction for a tenth rotation angle, and reciprocating.

[0207] The air conditioner includes a fan. When the air conditioner operates in cooling mode, the fan operates at a first speed. If a no-wind control command is received, the fan speed is controlled to be reduced to a second speed to ensure a no-wind effect. If the air conditioner operates in heating mode, the fan speed is controlled to operate at a third speed. If the air conditioner operates in air supply mode, the fan speed is controlled to operate at a fourth speed to achieve different air supply effects.

[0208] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner receives the second no-wind command in heating mode, the first air deflector and the air dispersion assembly are controlled to block the first and second air outlet areas, respectively, while the third driving member is controlled to be inactive. In this state, the air conditioner primarily delivers heated air to the front while ensuring no wind.

[0209] If the air conditioner is operating in air supply mode, the first air guide and the air dispersion assembly are controlled to open the first and second air outlet areas, while the second air guide is controlled to rotate to the air supply angle.

[0212] The air conditioner includes a fan. When the air conditioner operates in cooling mode, the fan operates at a first speed. If a no-wind control command is received, the fan speed is controlled to be reduced to a second speed to ensure a no-wind effect. If the air conditioner operates in heating mode, the fan speed is controlled to operate at a third speed. If the air conditioner operates in air supply mode, the fan speed is controlled to operate at a fourth speed to achieve different air supply effects.

[0213] Example 13

[0214] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 to 8 The air conditioner structure shown is used to illustrate the situation where the first air guide plate includes multiple ones in the embodiment of the present application.

[0215] The air conditioner comprises a housing consisting of a chassis, a face frame, and a front panel, and a heat exchanger, impeller, swing blades, and small guide vanes disposed within the housing. The housing has an air inlet at the top, a front air outlet on the lower side of the housing near the front panel, a lower air outlet at the bottom of the face frame, and side air outlets on the left and right sides of the housing.

[0216] A bottom microporous portion is provided on the lower part of the face frame of the indoor unit of the air conditioner near the volute side, and a bottom guide vane is provided on the side of the bottom microporous portion near the air outlet; a accommodating cavity is provided between the face frame and the front panel, and a swirl module is provided in the accommodating cavity. The swirl module can slide up and down in the accommodating cavity under the drive mechanism to open or close the front air outlet.

[0217] The included angle between the central axis of the microhole on the bottom guide vane and the plumb bob plane is set to α, which is 0°≤α≤15°.

[0218] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in the off state, the small guide vane is at the default angle γ0, the swirl module is in the position of sliding out of the accommodating cavity and blocking the front air outlet, and the multiple bottom guide vanes are in the position θ0.

[0219] The indoor unit of the air conditioner enters the cooling mode, the swirl module slides upward and is retracted into the accommodating cavity, multiple bottom guide vanes maintain position θ0, the small guide vanes rotate to the cooling angle γ1, and the DC motor driving the wind wheel starts and increases to the cooling speed n1 to start working.

[0220] When the air conditioner indoor unit enters wind-free mode, the swirl module slides downward to block the front air outlet. The multiple bottom guide vanes maintain their position θ0 around their axis, the small guide vanes rotate to a cooling angle γ1, and the DC motor driving the impeller decreases to a wind-free speed n2. When switching to front wind-free, high-volume mode, the small guide vanes rotate to an angle γ2, and the swirl module, bottom guide vanes, and DC motor driving the impeller maintain wind-free mode, resulting in a high forward airflow through the swirl module and a low airflow through the micropores in the bottom guide vanes. When activating bottom wind-free, high-volume mode, the small guide vanes rotate to an angle γ3, and the swirl module, bottom guide vanes, and DC motor driving the impeller maintain wind-free mode, resulting in a low forward airflow through the swirl module and a high airflow through the micropores in the bottom guide vanes. This effectively distributes cooling energy in both forward and downward directions during wind-free mode, better meeting the differentiated needs of air conditioners installed at bedside or footside locations or for specialized users.

[0221] The air conditioner indoor unit enters the heating mode, the swirl module slides upward and is stored in the accommodating cavity, the multiple bottom guide vanes rotate counterclockwise around the axis to position θ1, the small guide vanes rotate to the heating angle γ4, and the DC motor driving the wind wheel starts and increases to the heating speed n3, and starts working.

[0222] The specific control process is as follows:

[0223] Cooling mode:

[0224] Turn on the machine and select cooling mode. The DC motor starts and the speed increases to threshold value N0-1. Stepper motors 2 and 3 rotate counterclockwise for N1 turns to slide the swirl module into the storage chamber and open the front air outlet. Stepper motor 5 rotates clockwise for N2 turns to rotate the small guide vanes from the default position to the cooling angle. Select to enter windless mode. The DC motor speed decreases to threshold value N0-4 (the default speed for windless mode). Stepper motors 2 and 3 rotate clockwise for N1 turns to slide the swirl module out of the storage chamber to the closed front air outlet position. Select high front air volume mode. Stepper motor 5 rotates counterclockwise for N3 turns to rotate the small guide vanes from the cooling angle to the front air volume distribution angle. Select high bottom air volume mode. Stepper motor 5 rotates counterclockwise for N4 turns to rotate the small guide vanes from the cooling angle to the bottom air volume distribution angle.

[0225] Heating mode:

[0226] Turn on the machine and select heating mode. The DC motor starts and the speed increases to the threshold value N0-2. Stepper motors 2 and 3 rotate counterclockwise N1 turns to slide the swirl module into the storage chamber and open the front air outlet. Stepper motor 4 rotates counterclockwise N5 turns to rotate the bottom guide vanes to the heating angle. Stepper motor 5 rotates counterclockwise N6 turns to rotate the small guide vanes from the default position to the heating angle. Select to enter the windless mode. Stepper motors 2 and 3 rotate clockwise N1 turns to slide the swirl module out of the storage chamber to the closed front air outlet position.

[0227] Stepper motor 4 rotates clockwise N5 turns to close the bottom guide vanes. Selecting the front high airflow mode, stepper motor 5 rotates clockwise N6+N2-N3 turns to rotate the small guide vanes from the heating angle to the front airflow distribution angle. Selecting the bottom high airflow mode, stepper motor 5 remains stationary, and the small guide vanes are at the heating angle.

[0228] Air supply mode:

[0229] Turn on the machine and select the air supply mode. The DC motor starts and the speed increases to the threshold value N0-3. Stepper motors 2 and 3 rotate counterclockwise N1 turns to slide the swirl module into the accommodation cavity and open the air outlet forward. Stepper motor 5 rotates clockwise N9 turns to rotate the small guide vane to the air supply angle.

[0253] Example 14

[0254] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 to 8 The air conditioner structure shown is used to illustrate the situation where the first air guide plate includes multiple ones in the embodiment of the present application.

[0255] The air conditioner indoor unit includes an outer shell consisting of a chassis, a face frame, and a front panel, and a heat exchanger, impeller, swing blades, and small guide vanes housed within the shell. The top of the shell has an air inlet, the lower side of the shell near the front panel has a front air outlet, the bottom of the face frame has a lower air outlet, and side air outlets are located on the left and right sides of the shell.

[0256] A bottom guide vane is provided on the lower part of the face frame of the indoor unit of the air conditioner near the volute side; a accommodating cavity is provided between the face frame and the front panel, and a swirl module is provided in the accommodating cavity. The swirl module can slide up and down in the accommodating cavity under the drive mechanism to open or close the front air outlet.

[0257] The angle between the central axis of the microhole on the bottom guide vane far from its rotation axis and the plumb plane is set to α, which is 0°≤α≤15°; the angle between the central axis of the microhole on the bottom guide vane close to its rotation axis and the plumb plane is set to β, which is 0°≤β≤30°, and α≤β.

[0258] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in the off state, the small guide vane is at the default angle γ0, the swirl module is in the position of sliding out of the accommodating cavity and blocking the front air outlet, and the bottom guide vane is in the free end overlapping position θ0 with the swirl module.

[0259] The indoor unit of the air conditioner enters the cooling mode, the swirl module slides upward and is retracted into the accommodating cavity, the bottom guide vane rotates clockwise around the axis to the cooling angle θ1, the small guide vane rotates to the cooling angle γ1, and the DC motor driving the wind wheel starts and increases to the cooling speed n1 to start working.

[0260] When the air conditioner indoor unit enters wind-free mode, the swirl module slides downward to block the front air outlet. The bottom guide vanes rotate counterclockwise around their axis until their free ends overlap the swirl module at position θ0. The small guide vanes rotate to a cooling angle γ1, and the DC motor driving the impeller decreases to a wind-free speed n2. When switching to front wind-free, high-volume mode, the small guide vanes rotate to angle γ2. The swirl module, bottom guide vanes, and DC motor driving the impeller maintain wind-free mode, resulting in a high forward airflow through the swirl module and a low airflow through the micropores in the bottom guide vanes.

[0261] When the bottom-no-wind, high-volume mode is activated, the small guide vanes rotate to angle γ3. The swirl module, bottom guide vanes, and the DC motor driving the impeller maintain the no-wind mode, resulting in a low forward airflow through the swirl module and a high airflow through the micropores in the bottom guide vanes. This effectively distributes cooling air forward and downward in the no-wind mode, better meeting the differentiated needs of users and users in special scenarios such as bedside or footside installations.

[0262] The indoor unit of the air conditioner enters the heating mode, the swirl module slides upward and is stored in the accommodating cavity, the bottom guide vane rotates clockwise around the axis to position θ2, the small guide vane rotates to the heating angle γ4, and the DC motor driving the wind wheel starts and increases to the heating speed n3, and starts working.
