Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioner control device, an air conditioner control method, an air conditioner, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of life, many users choose automatic fan speed mode and automatic temperature adjustment mode when using the air conditioner. During the automatic control process, users can still manually adjust the operating parameters. For example, the fan speed can be adjusted from 1% to 100%, and the temperature can be adjusted from 16℃ to 30℃. However, the automatic fan speed and temperature will be reset to the reference parameters the next time it is used. If the reference parameters do not meet the needs, users need to manually adjust them every time the air conditioner is run, which is very inconvenient. 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] Therefore, the first aspect of the present invention is to provide a control device for an air conditioner.

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

[0006] A third aspect of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner.

[0007] A fourth aspect of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable storage medium.

[0008] In view of this, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a control device for an air conditioner is provided, comprising: a memory storing a computer program and control parameters of the air conditioner; and a processor electrically connected to the memory, wherein the processor executes the following steps when executing the computer program: acquiring historical control parameters of the air conditioner; determining the adjustment frequency of the air conditioner based on the historical control parameters and reference control parameters; and determining the target control parameters of the air conditioner based on the adjustment frequency, the historical control parameters, and the reference control parameters.

[0009] The air conditioner control device provided by this invention determines the air conditioner's adjustment frequency by using historical control parameters and baseline control parameters for automatic mode. This means determining the percentage of times the user manually adjusts the control parameters during air conditioner operation. Based on the adjustment frequency and historical control parameters, the device identifies the user's adjustment habits, thereby analyzing the required control parameters and correcting the baseline control parameters to obtain the target control parameters. This technical solution enables the air conditioner to automatically adjust the control parameters for automatic mode according to the user's historical usage habits after being turned on, and then automatically operate the air conditioner according to the adjusted target control parameters. This not only improves user comfort but also simplifies the process of setting the air conditioner's control parameters.

[0010] Specifically, the control parameters include parameters such as wind speed and temperature. The reference control parameters can be the comfort control parameters set by default for the air conditioner, or the default control parameters for automatic mode set by the user.

[0011] In addition, the control device for the air conditioner according to the above-described technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0012] In the above technical solution, further, when the processor executes the computer program, it performs the following steps: determining the adjustment frequency of the air conditioner based on historical control parameters and reference control parameters; determining the difference between the historical control parameters and the reference control parameters; counting the number of differences greater than zero and the number of differences less than zero; determining the first adjustment frequency based on the number of differences greater than zero and the total number of differences; and determining the second adjustment frequency based on the number of differences less than zero and the total number of differences.

[0013] In this technical solution, the difference between historical control parameters and reference control parameters is calculated. The number of differences greater than zero (i.e., the number of times the user-adjusted parameter is greater than the reference control mode in automatic mode) and the number of differences less than zero (i.e., the number of times the user-adjusted parameter is less than the reference control mode in automatic mode) are counted. Based on the number of differences greater than zero and the total number of differences, a first adjustment frequency is determined. Based on the number of differences less than zero and the total number of differences, a second adjustment frequency is determined. Thus, based on the user's adjustment habits analyzed from the first and second adjustment frequencies, new automatic default control parameters are automatically set for the user using the adjustment frequencies and historical control parameters. This simplifies user operation, improves the product's intelligence level, and enhances convenience.

[0014] In any of the above technical solutions, the processor further executes a computer program to determine the target control parameters of the air conditioner based on the adjustment frequency, historical control parameters, and reference control parameters. Specifically, this includes: comparing the magnitude relationship between the adjustment frequency and a first preset threshold; if the adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, adjusting the reference control parameters according to the variance of the sum of the differences to obtain the target control parameters; if the adjustment frequency is detected to be less than or equal to the first preset threshold, adjusting the reference control parameters according to the average value of the differences to obtain the target control parameters.

[0015] In this technical solution, after determining the adjustment frequency, the relationship between the adjustment frequency and a first preset threshold is compared. If the adjustment frequency is greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user frequently adjusts the default baseline control parameters, meaning the baseline control parameters can no longer meet the user's needs. In this case, the baseline control parameters are adjusted based on the variance of the sum of the differences to obtain the target control parameters. If the adjustment frequency is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user adjusts the baseline control parameters less frequently. In this case, the baseline control parameters are adjusted based on the average of the differences to obtain the target control parameters. This allows the air conditioner to closely match the user's actual needs when executing the target control parameters, improving user comfort and simplifying the process of setting the air conditioner's control parameters. The first preset threshold is set reasonably according to actual needs.

[0016] In any of the above technical solutions, further, when the processor executes the computer program, it detects that the adjustment frequency is greater than the first preset threshold, and adjusts the benchmark control parameter according to the variance of the sum of differences to obtain the target control parameter. Specifically, this includes: detecting that the first adjustment frequency is greater than the first preset threshold, increasing the benchmark control parameter according to the variance of the sum of differences greater than zero; detecting that the second adjustment frequency is greater than the first preset threshold, decreasing the benchmark control parameter according to the variance of the sum of differences less than zero.

[0017] In this technical solution, if the first adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user frequently increases the control parameter. In this case, the benchmark control parameter is increased based on the variance of the sum of the differences greater than zero. If the second adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user frequently decreases the control parameter. In this case, the benchmark control parameter is decreased based on the variance of the sum of the differences less than zero. This allows the air conditioner to closely match the user's actual needs when executing the target control parameters, improving user comfort and simplifying the process of setting the air conditioner's control parameters. The first preset threshold is set reasonably according to actual needs.

[0018] In any of the above technical solutions, the processor further executes the computer program to determine the target control parameters of the air conditioner based on the adjustment frequency, historical control parameters, and reference control parameters, specifically including: determining whether the difference is greater than a second preset threshold; determining that the difference is greater than the second preset threshold, and determining the target control parameters based on the adjustment frequency, historical control parameters, and reference control parameters.

[0019] In this technical solution, the proximity of historical control parameters to baseline control parameters is determined by checking if the difference exceeds a second preset threshold. If the difference exceeds the second preset threshold, it indicates a significant discrepancy between the two. The baseline control parameters are then adjusted based on the adjustment frequency and historical control parameters to determine the target control parameters. This automatically sets new default control parameters for the user, ensuring comfort while simplifying operation and improving convenience. The second preset threshold can be set appropriately according to actual needs.

[0020] In any of the above technical solutions, the processor further executes the following when executing the computer program: determining that the difference is less than or equal to a second preset threshold, and using the benchmark control parameter as the target control parameter.

[0021] In this technical solution, the historical control parameters are determined to be close to the reference control parameters by judging whether the difference is greater than the second preset threshold. If the difference is greater than the second preset threshold, it means that the difference between the two is small, and even if the control parameters are not adjusted, it will not affect the usage requirements. Therefore, the reference control parameters are directly used as the target control parameters, that is, the parameters of the control mode are not adjusted, thereby simplifying the process of setting the control parameters of the air conditioner.

[0022] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a control method for an air conditioner is provided, comprising: acquiring historical control parameters of the air conditioner; determining the adjustment frequency of the air conditioner based on the historical control parameters and reference control parameters; and determining the target control parameters of the air conditioner based on the adjustment frequency, the historical control parameters, and the reference control parameters.

[0023] The air conditioner control method provided by this invention determines the air conditioner's adjustment frequency by using historical control parameters and baseline control parameters in automatic mode. This means determining the percentage of times the user manually adjusts the control parameters during air conditioner operation. Based on the adjustment frequency and historical control parameters, the method identifies the user's adjustment habits, analyzes the required control parameters, and then corrects the baseline control parameters to obtain the target control parameters. This technical solution eliminates the need for additional equipment; it only requires recording the user's previous control parameter adjustments and automatically sets new default control parameters for the user. This simplifies user operation, enhances product intelligence, improves convenience, and meets user needs.

[0024] Specifically, the control parameters include parameters such as wind speed and temperature. The reference control parameters can be the comfort control parameters set by default for the air conditioner, or the default control parameters for automatic mode set by the user.

[0025] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the adjustment frequency of the air conditioner is determined based on historical control parameters and reference control parameters, specifically including: determining the difference between historical control parameters and reference control parameters; counting the number of differences greater than zero and the number of differences less than zero; determining the first adjustment frequency based on the number of differences greater than zero and the total number of differences; and determining the second adjustment frequency based on the number of differences less than zero and the total number of differences.

[0026] In this technical solution, the difference between historical control parameters and reference control parameters is calculated. The number of differences greater than zero (i.e., the number of times the user-adjusted parameter is greater than the reference control mode in automatic mode) and the number of differences less than zero (i.e., the number of times the user-adjusted parameter is less than the reference control mode in automatic mode) are counted. Based on the number of differences greater than zero and the total number of differences, a first adjustment frequency is determined. Based on the number of differences less than zero and the total number of differences, a second adjustment frequency is determined. Thus, based on the user's adjustment habits analyzed from the first and second adjustment frequencies, new automatic default control parameters are automatically set for the user using the adjustment frequencies and historical control parameters. This simplifies user operation, improves the product's intelligence level, and enhances convenience.

[0027] In any of the above technical solutions, the target control parameters of the air conditioner are further determined based on the adjustment frequency, historical control parameters, and reference control parameters. Specifically, this includes: comparing the magnitude relationship between the adjustment frequency and a first preset threshold; if the adjustment frequency is found to be greater than the first preset threshold, adjusting the reference control parameters according to the variance of the sum of the differences to obtain the target control parameters; if the adjustment frequency is found to be less than or equal to the first preset threshold, adjusting the reference control parameters according to the average value of the differences to obtain the target control parameters.

[0028] In this technical solution, after determining the adjustment frequency, the relationship between the adjustment frequency and a first preset threshold is compared. If the adjustment frequency is greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user frequently adjusts the default baseline control parameters, meaning the baseline control parameters can no longer meet the user's needs. In this case, the baseline control parameters are adjusted based on the variance of the sum of the differences to obtain the target control parameters. If the adjustment frequency is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user adjusts the baseline control parameters less frequently. In this case, the baseline control parameters are adjusted based on the average of the differences to obtain the target control parameters. This allows the air conditioner to closely match the user's actual needs when executing the target control parameters, improving user comfort and simplifying the process of setting the air conditioner's control parameters. The first preset threshold is set reasonably according to actual needs.

[0029] In any of the above technical solutions, further, if the adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, the benchmark control parameter is adjusted according to the variance of the sum of differences to obtain the target control parameter. Specifically, this includes: if the first adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, the benchmark control parameter is increased according to the variance of the sum of differences greater than zero; if the second adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, the benchmark control parameter is decreased according to the variance of the sum of differences less than zero.

[0030] In this technical solution, if the first adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user frequently increases the control parameter. In this case, the benchmark control parameter is increased based on the variance of the sum of the differences greater than zero. If the second adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user frequently decreases the control parameter. In this case, the benchmark control parameter is decreased based on the variance of the sum of the differences less than zero. This allows the air conditioner to closely match the user's actual needs when executing the target control parameters, improving user comfort and simplifying the process of setting the air conditioner's control parameters. The first preset threshold is set reasonably according to actual needs.

[0031] In any of the above technical solutions, the target control parameters of the air conditioner are further determined based on the adjustment frequency, historical control parameters, and reference control parameters. Specifically, this includes: determining whether the difference is greater than a second preset threshold; determining that the difference is greater than the second preset threshold, and determining the target control parameters based on the adjustment frequency, historical control parameters, and reference control parameters.

[0032] In this technical solution, the proximity of historical control parameters to baseline control parameters is determined by checking if the difference exceeds a second preset threshold. If the difference exceeds the second preset threshold, it indicates a significant discrepancy between the two. The baseline control parameters are then adjusted based on the adjustment frequency and historical control parameters to determine the target control parameters. This automatically sets new default control parameters for the user, ensuring comfort while simplifying operation and improving convenience. The second preset threshold can be set appropriately according to actual needs.

[0033] In any of the above technical solutions, it further includes: determining that the difference is less than or equal to a second preset threshold, and using the benchmark control parameter as the target control parameter.

[0034] In this technical solution, the historical control parameters are determined to be close to the reference control parameters by judging whether the difference is greater than the second preset threshold. If the difference is greater than the second preset threshold, it means that the difference between the two is small, and even if the control parameters are not adjusted, it will not affect the usage requirements. Therefore, the reference control parameters are directly used as the target control parameters, that is, the parameters of the control mode are not adjusted, thereby simplifying the process of setting the control parameters of the air conditioner.

[0035] According to a third aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, comprising: a control device for an air conditioner according to any one of the preceding claims, the control device being adapted to perform the following steps: acquiring historical control parameters of the air conditioner; determining the adjustment frequency of the air conditioner based on the historical control parameters and reference control parameters; and determining the target control parameters of the air conditioner based on the adjustment frequency, the historical control parameters, and the reference control parameters.

[0036] The air conditioner provided by this invention can determine the air conditioner's adjustment frequency by using historical control parameters and baseline control parameters in automatic mode. This means determining the percentage of times the user manually adjusts the control parameters during air conditioner operation. Based on the adjustment frequency and historical control parameters, the user's adjustment habits are determined, thereby analyzing the required control parameters and correcting the baseline control parameters to obtain the target control parameters. This technical solution eliminates the need for additional equipment; it only requires recording the user's previous control parameter adjustments and automatically setting new default control parameters. This simplifies user operation, enhances product intelligence, improves convenience, and meets user needs.

[0037] Specifically, air conditioners also include loads such as fans and / or compressors.

[0038] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner further includes: an air outlet; an air outlet assembly electrically connected to the control device, the air outlet assembly being adapted to adjust the airflow from the air outlet, the air outlet assembly having multiple forms; and the control device being adapted to control the air outlet assembly to switch forms according to the position information of the target object.

[0039] In this technical solution, air that has exchanged heat with the indoor heat exchanger is blown out through the air outlet to achieve cooling or heating. The air outlet assembly can adjust the air outlet angle. The air conditioner's control device can detect the location information of a target object, which can be a human body or a preset object, such as a bed, desk, or sofa—furniture where a person might linger. Based on the target object's location, the air outlet assembly switches modes to ensure a draft-free environment in the direction of the target object, thus preventing the air from blowing directly on the person and improving the air conditioner's comfort. In areas outside the target object's location, the air volume can be increased through methods such as direct airflow, thereby improving cooling efficiency while still ensuring a draft-free environment. Simultaneously, based on the automatic control mode in the draft-free state, the control device determines the air conditioner's adjustment frequency based on historical control parameters and the automatic mode's baseline control parameters. It then corrects the baseline control parameters based on the adjustment frequency, automatically setting new default control parameters for the user while achieving a draft-free environment, simplifying user operation and meeting various user needs.

[0040] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the multiple forms include a first form, a second form, and a third form. The controller controls the air outlet component to switch forms according to the distance value of the target object, specifically including: obtaining a first preset distance range and a second preset distance range; determining that the distance value is within the first preset distance range, controlling the air outlet component to switch from the first form to the second form; determining that the distance value is within the second preset distance range, controlling the air outlet component to switch from the first form to the third form.

[0041] In this technical solution, the first mode is the default windless mode. After the air conditioner is turned on, it defaults to normal cooling or heating mode, at which point the windless mode is not activated. When the air conditioner receives a windless control command, it enters the default windless state, ensuring that the entire room is windless, minimizing direct drafts of cold air. The second mode is the windless front distribution mode, corresponding to a first preset distance that is relatively close to the air conditioner. In the second mode, the air conditioner delivers air within the first preset distance in windless mode, while simultaneously delivering a larger airflow to the second preset distance. The third mode is the windless bottom distribution mode, corresponding to a second preset distance that is relatively far from the air conditioner. In the third mode, the air conditioner delivers air within the second preset distance in windless mode, while simultaneously delivering a larger airflow to the first preset distance. This effectively improves cooling or heating efficiency while ensuring a windless experience for users, thereby enhancing the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0042] Furthermore, when entering the windless automatic control mode, the air conditioner controls the air outlet components to switch between different air supply states based on the distance to the target object. After the air conditioner switches to any of the first, second, and third modes and runs for a specified time, it retrieves historical control parameters. Based on the historical control parameters and the reference control parameters of the automatic mode, it determines the air conditioner's adjustment frequency and corrects the reference control parameters according to the adjustment frequency. Thus, while achieving a windless feel, it automatically analyzes the user's usage habits and sets new automatic default control parameters for the user, simplifying user operation and meeting various user needs.

[0043] The system detects the environmental parameters of the space where the air conditioner is located, and adjusts the current operating parameter thresholds based on the environmental parameters and target environmental parameters, thereby expanding the upper limit of the operating parameters. While meeting noise and condensation limits in the windless mode, it further increases the cooling capacity, thereby improving the temperature drop rate in the space and meeting various user needs.

[0044] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet assembly further includes: a first air guide plate disposed within the air outlet, the first air guide plate being adapted to rotate relative to the orientation of the air outlet to change the air delivery direction of the air outlet; a second air guide plate being adapted to open or close the air outlet, the second air guide plate being provided with through holes adapted to allow airflow to pass through; and a diffuser assembly being adapted to block or open the air outlet, the diffuser assembly having a diffuser structure formed thereon, the diffuser structure being adapted to allow airflow to pass through and to allow the passing airflow to diffuse and flow.

[0045] In this technical solution, the air outlet assembly includes a first air guide plate, a second air guide plate, and a diffuser assembly. The first air guide plate is located inside the air outlet and can rotate along an axis perpendicular to the air outlet, thereby changing the airflow angle to achieve "left" or "right" airflow. The second air guide plate is rotatably connected to the air conditioner's casing and is used to open or close the air outlet. Specifically, when the air conditioner is off, the second air guide plate covers the air outlet; when the air conditioner is on, the second air guide plate rotates relative to the air conditioner casing and opens the air outlet. Simultaneously, the second air guide plate has multiple through holes, which disperse the airflow into multiple intersecting small airflow streams after passing through them. When the windless mode is not activated, the diffuser assembly is retracted into the air conditioner. When the windless mode is activated, the diffuser assembly extends and blocks the air outlet. The diffuser assembly also has a diffuser structure, which disperses and diffuses the airflow passing through it, achieving "windless" and "anti-direct-blow" effects.

[0046] Specifically, the wind-dispersing structure includes multiple wind turbines, which are meshed and driven by a gear structure. Each wind turbine includes inner ribs and outer ring ribs, with a first blade and a second blade positioned between the inner and outer ring ribs. The first blade is a stationary blade, fixedly connected to the inner and outer ring ribs. The second blade is a rotating blade, rotatably connected to the inner ribs, and has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the second blade is spaced apart from the first blade. In the second position, at least a portion of the second blade overlaps with the first blade along the axial direction of the wind turbine. When the second blade rotates to the first position, the second blade and the first blade are spaced apart, resulting in a denser distribution of blades on the wind turbine, thus lowering the airflow velocity and creating a stronger "windless" effect. The second blade is in the second position, and the blades of the second blade coincide with the blades of the first blade along the axis of the wind turbine. At this time, the blades of the wind turbine are "sparsely distributed", so the airflow velocity through the wind turbine is relatively high, the "windless" effect is weak, and the air delivery capacity is strong.

[0047] Furthermore, the control device controls the air outlet assembly to operate in a first configuration, specifically including: the control device controls the air diffuser assembly to block the air outlet, controls the second fan blade to move to a first position, and controls the first air guide plate to rotate to a first angle.

[0048] The control device controls the air outlet assembly to switch from a first state to a second state, specifically including: controlling the second fan blade to move to a second position and controlling the first air guide plate to rotate from a first angle to a second angle. Specifically, when controlling the air outlet assembly to switch from the first state to the second state, the position of the air diffuser assembly remains unchanged, and the first air guide plate is controlled to rotate from the first angle to the second angle. At this time, the first air guide plate still guides the air outlet towards the air diffuser assembly, but after adjusting to the second angle, the range covered by the air outlet direction is specifically the range corresponding to a first preset distance. At the same time, the second fan blade is controlled to move to the second position to increase the air volume delivered to the first preset distance range, thereby improving the cooling or heating effect.

[0049] The control device controls the air outlet assembly to switch from a first state to a third state, specifically including: controlling the first air guide plate to rotate from a first angle to a third angle; wherein, when the first air guide plate rotates to the first angle or the second angle, the first air guide plate directs the air blown from the air outlet to the air diffuser assembly; when the first air guide plate rotates to the third angle, the first air guide plate directs the air blown from the air outlet to the second air guide plate. Specifically, when controlling the air outlet assembly to switch from the first state to the third state, the first air guide plate is controlled to rotate from the first angle to the third angle. When the first air guide plate rotates to the third angle, the first air guide plate guides the air outlet's airflow direction towards the first air guide plate, that is, the air is discharged through the through holes set in the first air guide plate. At the same time, the air diffuser assembly maintains the strongest windless effect, ensuring that people within the range corresponding to the first distance are not "directly blown" on.

[0050] According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided on which a computer program is stored, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the control method for an air conditioner as described above. Therefore, this computer-readable storage medium possesses all the beneficial effects of the control method for an air conditioner as described above.

[0066] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other.

[0067] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0068] The following reference Figures 1 to 11The control device 100, control method, and air conditioner 700 of an air conditioner according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0069] Example 1

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, a control device 100 for an air conditioner is provided, comprising: a memory 102 and a processor 104.

[0071] Specifically, the memory 102 stores the computer program and the control parameters of the air conditioner. The processor 104 is electrically connected to the memory 102. When the processor 104 executes the computer program, it performs the following steps: obtaining the historical control parameters of the air conditioner; determining the adjustment frequency of the air conditioner based on the historical control parameters and the reference control parameters; and determining the target control parameters of the air conditioner based on the adjustment frequency, the historical control parameters, and the reference control parameters.

[0072] In this embodiment, the air conditioner's adjustment frequency is determined by using historical control parameters and baseline control parameters in automatic mode. This means determining the percentage of times the user manually adjusts the control parameters during air conditioner operation. Based on the adjustment frequency and historical control parameters, the user's adjustment habits are determined, thereby analyzing the user's required control parameters. The baseline control parameters are then corrected to obtain the target control parameters. This technical solution eliminates the need for additional equipment; it only requires recording the user's previous control parameter adjustments to automatically set new default control parameters. This simplifies user operation, enhances product intelligence, improves convenience, and meets user needs.

[0073] Specifically, the control parameters include parameters such as wind speed and temperature. The reference control parameters can be the comfort control parameters set by default for the air conditioner, or the default control parameters for automatic mode set by the user.

[0075] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the features defined in any of the above embodiments, the processor 104 further defines the following: when executing a computer program, it performs the function of determining the adjustment frequency of the air conditioner based on historical control parameters and reference control parameters, specifically including: determining the difference between the historical control parameters and the reference control parameters; counting the number of differences greater than zero and the number of differences less than zero; determining a first adjustment frequency based on the number of differences greater than zero and the total number of differences; and determining a second adjustment frequency based on the number of differences less than zero and the total number of differences.

[0076] In this embodiment, the difference between historical control parameters and reference control parameters is calculated, and the number of differences greater than zero (i.e., the number of times the user-adjusted parameter is greater than the reference control mode in automatic mode) and the number of differences less than zero (i.e., the number of times the user-adjusted parameter is less than the reference control mode in automatic mode) are counted. Based on the number of differences greater than zero and the total number of differences, a first adjustment frequency is determined, and based on the number of differences less than zero and the total number of differences, a second adjustment frequency is determined. Based on the user's adjustment habits analyzed by the first and second adjustment frequencies, new automatic default control parameters are automatically set for the user using the adjustment frequencies and historical control parameters, thereby simplifying user operation, improving the product's intelligence level, and enhancing convenience.

[0077] Example 3

[0078] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the features defined in any of the above embodiments, the processor 104 further defines the following: when executing a computer program, it performs the following steps: determining the target control parameters of the air conditioner based on the adjustment frequency, historical control parameters, and reference control parameters. Specifically, this includes: comparing the magnitude relationship between the adjustment frequency and a first preset threshold; if the adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, adjusting the reference control parameters according to the variance of the sum of the differences to obtain the target control parameters; if the adjustment frequency is detected to be less than or equal to the first preset threshold, adjusting the reference control parameters according to the average value of the differences to obtain the target control parameters.

[0079] In this embodiment, if the adjustment frequency is greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user frequently adjusts the default baseline control parameters, meaning the baseline control parameters can no longer meet the user's needs. In this case, the baseline control parameters are adjusted based on the variance of the sum of the differences to obtain the target control parameters. If the adjustment frequency is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user adjusts the baseline control parameters less frequently. In this case, the baseline control parameters are adjusted based on the average of the differences to obtain the target control parameters. This allows the air conditioner to closely match the user's actual needs when executing the target control parameters, improving user comfort and simplifying the process of setting the air conditioner's control parameters. The first preset threshold is set reasonably according to actual needs.

[0080] Specifically, if the first adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user frequently increases the control parameter. In this case, the benchmark control parameter is increased based on the variance of the sum of the differences greater than zero. If the second adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user frequently decreases the control parameter. In this case, the benchmark control parameter is decreased based on the variance of the sum of the differences less than zero.

[0081] Example 4

[0082] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the features defined in any of the above embodiments, the processor 104 further defines the following when executing the computer program: determining whether the difference is greater than a second preset threshold; determining that the difference is greater than the second preset threshold, determining a target control parameter based on the adjustment frequency, historical control parameters and reference control parameters; determining that the difference is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, and using the reference control parameter as the target control parameter.

[0083] In this embodiment, the system determines whether the historical control parameters are close to the reference control parameters by judging whether the difference is greater than a second preset threshold. If the difference is greater than the second preset threshold, it indicates a large difference between the two. In this case, the reference control parameters are adjusted based on the adjustment frequency and historical control parameters to determine the target control parameters, thereby automatically setting new automatic default control parameters for the user to ensure comfort when using the air conditioner. If the difference is greater than the second preset threshold, it indicates a small difference between the two, and even without adjusting the control parameters, it will not affect the user's needs. In this case, the reference control parameters are directly used as the target control parameters, i.e., the parameters of the control mode are not adjusted, thus simplifying the process of setting the control parameters of the air conditioner. The second preset threshold can be reasonably set according to actual needs.

[0084] Example 5

[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, a control method for an air conditioner is provided, the method comprising:

[0086] Step 202: Obtain the historical control parameters of the air conditioner;

[0087] Step 204: Determine the air conditioner's adjustment frequency based on historical control parameters and baseline control parameters;

[0088] Step 206: Determine the target control parameters of the air conditioner based on the adjustment frequency, historical control parameters, and baseline control parameters.

[0089] In this embodiment, the air conditioner's adjustment frequency is determined by using historical control parameters and baseline control parameters for automatic mode. This means determining the percentage of times the user manually adjusts the control parameters during air conditioner operation. Based on the adjustment frequency and historical control parameters, the user's adjustment habits are determined, thereby analyzing the user's required control parameters. The baseline control parameters are then corrected to obtain the target control parameters. This technical solution enables the air conditioner to automatically adjust its control parameters according to the user's historical usage habits after being turned on, and automatically operate according to the adjusted target control parameters. This not only improves user comfort but also simplifies the process of setting the air conditioner's control parameters.

[0090] Example 6

[0091] like Figure 3 As shown, according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, a control method for an air conditioner is provided, the method comprising:

[0092] Step 302: Obtain the historical control parameters of the air conditioner;

[0093] Step 304: Determine the difference between the historical control parameters and the baseline control parameters;

[0094] Step 306: Count the number of differences whose absolute values ​​are greater than zero;

[0095] Step 308: Determine the adjustment frequency based on the number of differences whose absolute values ​​are greater than zero and the total number of differences;

[0096] Step 310: Check if the frequency is greater than the first preset threshold. If yes, proceed to step 312; otherwise, proceed to step 314.

[0097] Step 312: Adjust the baseline control parameters based on the variance of the sum of differences to obtain the target control parameters;

[0098] Step 314: Adjust the baseline control parameters based on the average value of the differences to obtain the target control parameters.

[0099] In this embodiment, the difference between historical control parameters and baseline control parameters is calculated. The number of differences greater than zero (i.e., the number of times the user-adjusted parameter is greater than the baseline control mode in automatic mode) and the number of differences less than zero (i.e., the number of times the user-adjusted parameter is less than the baseline control mode in automatic mode) are counted. Based on the number of differences greater than zero and the total number of differences, a first adjustment frequency is determined. Based on the number of differences less than zero and the total number of differences, a second adjustment frequency is determined. After determining the adjustment frequency based on the user's adjustment habits analyzed from the first and second adjustment frequencies, the adjustment frequency is compared with a first preset threshold. If the adjustment frequency is greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user frequently adjusts the default baseline control parameters, meaning the baseline control parameters can no longer meet the user's needs. In this case, the baseline control parameters are adjusted based on the variance of the sum of the differences to obtain the target control parameters. If the adjustment frequency is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user adjusts the baseline control parameters less frequently. In this case, the baseline control parameters are adjusted based on the average of the differences to obtain the target control parameters. This allows the air conditioner to closely match the user's actual needs when executing the target control parameters, improving user comfort and simplifying the process of setting the air conditioner's control parameters. The first preset threshold is set reasonably according to actual needs.

[0100] Example 7

[0101] like Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a control method for an air conditioner is proposed, the method comprising:

[0102] Step 402: Obtain the historical control parameters of the air conditioner;

[0103] Step 404: Determine the difference between the historical control parameters and the baseline control parameters;

[0104] Step 406: Count the number of differences greater than zero and the number of differences less than zero;

[0105] Step 408: Determine the first adjustment frequency based on the number of differences greater than zero and the total number of differences;

[0106] Step 410: Determine the second adjustment frequency based on the number of differences less than zero and the total number of differences;

[0107] Step 412: Is the first adjustment frequency greater than the first preset threshold? If yes, proceed to step 414; if no, proceed to step 416.

[0108] Step 414: Increase the baseline control parameter based on the variance of the sum of differences greater than zero;

[0109] Step 416: Is the second adjustment frequency greater than the first preset threshold? If yes, proceed to step 418; if no, proceed to step 420.

[0110] Step 418: Reduce the baseline control parameter based on the variance of the sum of differences that are less than zero;

[0111] Step 420: Adjust the baseline control parameters based on the average value of the differences to obtain the target control parameters.

[0112] In this embodiment, if the first adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user frequently increases the control parameter. In this case, the benchmark control parameter is increased based on the variance of the sum of the differences greater than zero. If the second adjustment frequency is detected to be greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the user frequently decreases the control parameter. In this case, the benchmark control parameter is decreased based on the variance of the sum of the differences less than zero. This allows the air conditioner to closely match the user's actual needs when executing the target control parameters, which not only improves the user's comfort when using the air conditioner but also simplifies the process of setting the control parameters of the air conditioner.

[0113] Example 8

[0114] like Figure 5 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a control method for an air conditioner is proposed, the method comprising:

[0115] Step 502: Obtain the historical control parameters of the air conditioner;

[0116] Step 504: Determine the difference between the historical control parameters and the baseline control parameters;

[0117] Step 506: Count the number of differences greater than zero and the number of differences less than zero;

[0118] Step 508: Determine the first adjustment frequency based on the number of differences greater than zero and the total number of differences;

[0119] Step 510: Determine the second adjustment frequency based on the number of differences less than zero and the total number of differences;

[0120] Step 512: Is the difference greater than the second preset threshold? If yes, proceed to step 514; if no, proceed to step 516.

[0121] Step 514: Determine the target control parameters based on the adjustment frequency, historical control parameters, and reference control parameters;

[0122] Step 516: Use the baseline control parameters as the target control parameters.

[0123] In this embodiment, the system determines whether the historical control parameters are close to the reference control parameters by judging whether the difference is greater than a second preset threshold. If the difference is greater than the second preset threshold, it indicates that the difference between the two is large. Then, the reference control parameters are adjusted according to the adjustment frequency and historical control parameters to determine the target control parameters, so as to automatically set new automatic default control parameters for the user and ensure the comfort when using the air conditioner. If the difference is greater than the second preset threshold, it indicates that the difference between the two is small. Even if the control parameters are not adjusted, it will not affect the usage needs. Then, the reference control parameters are directly used as the target control parameters, that is, the parameters of the control mode are not adjusted, thereby simplifying the process of setting the control parameters of the air conditioner.

[0124] Example 9

[0125] like Figure 6 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a control method for an air conditioner is proposed. When the user selects automatic fan speed, the user's fan speed adjustment habits for the first N adjustments are recorded. The fan speed after the first N adjustments is compared with the default fan speed Pj in automatic mode. If more than 60% of the N differences are positive, the default fan speed of automatic fan speed is increased, and the correction method is: new default fan speed Px = Pj + variance of positive differences. If more than 60% of the N differences are negative, the default fan speed of automatic fan speed is decreased, and the correction method is: new default fan speed Px = Pj - variance of negative differences. If different proportions occur, the average value of the first N adjustments is used for correction.

[0126] During air conditioner use, users adjust the set temperature. The detection module records the temperature Tn and recommended comfortable temperature Ts after each adjustment. Temperature correction is performed as follows: The difference T1 between Tn and Ts after each adjustment is compared. If the difference T1 is within 1℃, the user's default temperature is corrected according to the comfortable temperature; that is, the default start-up temperature Tm equals the corresponding comfortable temperature Ts in the current environment. If the difference T1 is greater than 1℃, the user's default temperature is corrected according to a compensation value; that is, Tm = Ts ± the variance of the difference T1 recorded in the previous N adjustments.

[0127] In this embodiment, no additional equipment is required. The system simply records the user's previous habits of adjusting the fan speed and temperature, and automatically sets a new default fan speed and temperature for the user, simplifying the user's operation and bringing convenience.

[0128] Example 10

[0129] According to an embodiment of a third aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, comprising a control device for the air conditioner proposed in the first aspect embodiment above. When the control device executes a computer program, it performs the following steps: acquiring historical control parameters of the air conditioner; determining the adjustment frequency of the air conditioner based on the historical control parameters and the reference control parameters; and determining the target control parameters of the air conditioner based on the adjustment frequency, the historical control parameters, and the reference control parameters.

[0130] The air conditioner provided in this embodiment determines the air conditioner's adjustment frequency by using historical control parameters and baseline control parameters for automatic mode. This means determining the percentage of times the user manually adjusts the control parameters during air conditioner operation. Based on the adjustment frequency and historical control parameters, the user's adjustment habits are determined, thereby analyzing the control parameters required by the user. The baseline control parameters are then corrected to obtain the target control parameters. This technical solution enables the air conditioner to automatically adjust the control parameters of the automatic control mode according to the user's historical usage habits after being turned on, and automatically operate the air conditioner according to the adjusted target control parameters. This not only improves user comfort but also simplifies the process of setting the air conditioner's control parameters. Specifically, the air conditioner also includes a load and a display. The load includes a fan and / or compressor, and the display is used to show fault information, etc.

[0131] Example 11

[0132] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, including the features defined in the above embodiments, and further, the air conditioner 700 includes: an air outlet 702; an air outlet assembly 800 electrically connected to a control device, the air outlet assembly 800 being configured to adjust the air outlet 702, the air outlet assembly 800 having multiple forms; the control device is also adapted to control the air outlet assembly 800 to switch forms according to the position information of the target object.

[0133] In this embodiment, air that has exchanged heat with the indoor heat exchanger is blown out through the air outlet to achieve cooling or heating. The air outlet assembly can adjust the air outlet angle. The air conditioner's control device can detect the location information of a target object, which can be a human body or a preset object, such as furniture where a person might linger, like a bed, desk, or sofa. Based on the target object's location information, the air outlet assembly 800 switches modes to ensure a windless state in the direction of the target object, thus preventing the airflow from directly blowing onto the human body and improving the comfort of the air conditioner 700. In areas outside the target object's location, the airflow can be increased through methods such as direct airflow. Simultaneously, based on the automatic control mode in the windless state, the control device determines the air conditioner 700's adjustment frequency according to historical control parameters and the automatic mode's baseline control parameters, and corrects the baseline control parameters based on the adjustment frequency. This achieves a windless state while automatically setting new default control parameters for the user, simplifying user operation and meeting various user needs.

[0134] The definition of "no wind" is as follows: when the average wind speed is less than 0.1 m / s within a distance of 2.5 to 3 meters from the air conditioner's air outlet, or when the DR value is between 5 and 20 at a distance of 2.5 meters or less from the air outlet, it is considered that there is "no wind".

[0135] Specifically, distance values ​​can be detected using an infrared distance detection device, or an image of the area in front of the air conditioner can be captured. The location of the target object can then be determined using an image recognition device, and the distance value can be further determined. Alternatively, the distance to the target object can be detected using a radar position detection device.

[0136] Example 12

[0137] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, including the features defined in the above embodiments, and further, the air outlet assembly 800 of the air conditioner 700 has multiple forms.

[0138] Among them, such as Figure 9 As shown, among the multiple modes is the first mode, in which the control device controls the air outlet assembly 800 to operate in the first mode according to the control command.

[0139] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the multiple forms also include a second form and a third form. The control device controls the air outlet component 800 to switch forms according to the distance value, specifically including: obtaining a first preset distance range and a second preset distance range; determining that the distance value is within the first preset distance range, controlling the air outlet component 800 to switch from the first form to the second form; determining that the distance value is within the second preset distance range, controlling the air outlet component 800 to switch from the first form to the third form.

[0140] In this embodiment, the first state is specifically the default windless state. After the air conditioner is turned on, it defaults to normal cooling or normal heating mode, at which time the windless mode is not activated. When the air conditioner receives the corresponding control command, specifically the windless control command, the air conditioner enters the default windless state. At this time, the entire room is in a windless state, ensuring that people are not "directly blown" by the air conditioner's cold air to the greatest extent.

[0141] in, Figure 9 A schematic diagram of the air outlet assembly 800 in its first state. Figure 10 This diagram shows the air outlet assembly 800 in its second configuration. Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the air outlet assembly in its third state is shown.

[0142] The second mode is a windless front distribution state, with the corresponding first preset distance being a distance range relatively close to the air conditioner 700. In the second mode, the air conditioner 700 delivers air to the range within the first preset distance in a windless mode, while simultaneously delivering air to the range within the second preset distance with a larger air volume.

[0143] The third mode is a windless, lower-side distribution state, with the corresponding second preset distance being a distance range relatively far from the air conditioner 700. In the third mode, the air conditioner 700 delivers air to the range within the second preset distance in a windless mode, while simultaneously delivering air to the range within the first preset distance with a larger air volume.

[0144] By controlling the air outlet component 800 to switch different air supply states according to the distance to the target object, the cooling or heating efficiency can be effectively improved while ensuring that the human body does not feel "wind", thereby enhancing the user experience of the air conditioner 700.

[0145] Furthermore, when entering the windless automatic control mode, the air conditioner 700 controls the air outlet assembly 800 to switch different air supply states according to the distance to the target object. After the air conditioner 700 switches to any of the first, second, and third modes and runs for a specified time, it retrieves historical control parameters. Based on the historical control parameters and the reference control parameters of the automatic mode, it determines the adjustment frequency of the air conditioner 700 and corrects the reference control parameters according to the adjustment frequency. Thus, while achieving a windless feel, it automatically analyzes the user's usage habits and sets new automatic default control parameters for the user, simplifying user operation and meeting various user needs.

[0146] Example 13

[0147] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, including the features defined in the above embodiments, and further comprising: a first air guide plate 802 disposed within an air outlet 702, the first air guide plate 802 being adapted to swing relative to the orientation of the air outlet 702 to change the air delivery angle of the air outlet 702; a second air guide plate 804 configured to open or close the air outlet 702, the second air guide plate 804 being provided with a through hole suitable for airflow to pass through; and a diffuser assembly 806 adapted to block or open the air outlet 702, the diffuser assembly 806 being formed with a diffuser structure suitable for airflow to pass through and suitable for causing the passing airflow to diffuse and flow.

[0148] In this embodiment, the air outlet assembly 800 includes a first air guide plate 802, a second air guide plate 804, and a diffuser assembly 806. The first air guide plate 802 is disposed within the air outlet 702 and can rotate along an axis perpendicular to the air outlet 702, thereby changing the air delivery angle of the air outlet 702 to achieve "left" or "right" air delivery. The second air guide plate 804 is used to open or close the air outlet 702. Specifically, when the air conditioner is off, the second air guide plate 804 covers the air outlet; when the air conditioner is on, the second air guide plate 804 rotates relative to the air conditioner housing and opens the air outlet 702. Simultaneously, the second air guide plate 804 has multiple through holes, which disperse the airflow into multiple intersecting small airflows after passing through the through holes. When the windless mode is not activated, the diffuser assembly 806 is housed within the air conditioner 700. When the windless mode is activated, the air diffuser 806 extends and abuts against one end of the second air guide plate 804, blocking the air outlet 702. The air diffuser 806 is also equipped with an air diffusion structure, which can disperse and diffuse the airflow passing through the air diffuser 806, thereby achieving "windless" and "anti-direct blowing".

[0149] Furthermore, the air dispersion structure also includes multiple impellers 900, which are driven by a gear mechanism and rotate under the drive of a motor to disperse the passing airflow. Each impeller 900 includes an inner rib 902 and an outer ring rib 904, with a first blade 906 and a second blade 908 positioned between them. The first blade 906 is a stationary blade, fixedly connected to the outer ring rib 904 and the inner rib 902. The second blade 908 is a moving blade, capable of rotating around the inner rib 902 and switching between a first position and a second position. Specifically, when the second blade 908 rotates to the first position, the second blade 908 and the first blade 906 are arranged alternately, resulting in a "dense" blade distribution on the impeller 900. Therefore, the airflow velocity through the impeller 900 is low, creating a stronger "windless" effect. When the second blade 908 rotates to the second position, at least part of the second blade 908 overlaps with the first blade 906. At this time, the blade distribution of the impeller 900 is "sparse", so the airflow velocity through the impeller 900 is relatively high, the "windless" effect is weak, and the air delivery capacity is strong.

[0150] Furthermore, the control device controls the air outlet assembly 800 to operate in a first configuration according to control commands. Specifically, this includes: the control device controlling the air diffuser assembly 806 to block the air outlet 702, controlling the second fan blade 908 to move to a first position, and controlling the first guide vane 802 to rotate to a first angle. In the first configuration, the air outlet assembly 800 rotates to abut against the air diffuser assembly 806, and the first guide vane 802 guides the air blown from the air outlet 702 to the air diffuser assembly 806, with the second fan blade 908 positioned in the first position.

[0151] The control device controls the air outlet assembly 800 to switch from a first state to a second state, specifically including: controlling the second fan blade 908 to move to a second position, and controlling the first air guide plate 802 to rotate from a first angle to a second angle. In the second state, the air outlet assembly 800 has the air diffuser assembly 806 blocking the air outlet 702, the second air guide plate 804 rotating to abut against the air diffuser assembly 806, and the first air guide plate 802 directing the air blown from the air outlet 702 towards the air diffuser assembly 806, with the second fan blade 908 in the second position.

[0152] The control device controls the air outlet assembly 800 to switch from a first state to a third state, specifically including: controlling the first air guide plate 802 to rotate from a first angle to a third angle; wherein, when the first air guide plate 802 rotates to the first angle or the second angle, the first air guide plate 802 guides the air blown out of the air outlet 702 to the air diffuser assembly 806; when the first air guide plate 802 rotates to the third angle, the first air guide plate 802 guides the air blown out of the air outlet 702 to the second air guide plate 804. In the third state, the air outlet assembly 800 is in the air diffuser assembly 806 blocking the air outlet 702, the second air guide plate 804 rotates to abut against the air diffuser assembly 806, the first air guide plate 802 guides the air blown out of the air outlet 702 to the second air guide plate 804, and the second fan blade 908 is in the first position.

[0153] In addition, the second air guide plate 804 and the air diffuser assembly 806 are combined to define an angled cavity located outside the air conditioner outlet 702 and connected to the air conditioner outlet 702. The cavity has side openings at both ends along the length of the splicing line of the second air guide plate 804 and the air diffuser assembly 806. The side openings are connected to the cavity, thereby realizing air supply from both sides.
