Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning, and more specifically, to an air conditioning control method, control device, computer-readable storage medium, processor, and air conditioning system. Background Technology
[0002] Air conditioning has become an indispensable household appliance in modern life. When an air conditioner needs to heat, the temperature of the indoor evaporator is relatively low when it is first turned on. If the indoor fan is turned on directly at this time, the air blown out will be cold, which will make people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, air conditioners urgently need to be designed with anti-cold air control to improve user comfort and avoid fluctuations in indoor temperature.
[0003] With existing anti-cold-air controls, most indoor unit fans do not start when the user sets the heating mode. This control is to prevent the fan from blowing cold air directly into the room or onto people when the indoor unit is first turned on, as the pipe temperature is low, resulting in a poor user comfort experience. However, precisely because of the anti-cold-air requirement when the air conditioner is turned on for heating, the indoor fan does not start immediately upon startup and needs to wait a relatively long time to exchange heat with the room air, resulting in a slow rise in room temperature.
[0004] The information disclosed above in the background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background art of the art described herein. Therefore, the background art may contain certain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art in this country. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Optionally, determining whether the current temperature of the inner tube is greater than a temperature threshold includes: determining a corresponding temperature threshold based on the indoor temperature, wherein the indoor temperature corresponds to different temperature thresholds in different temperature ranges; and determining whether the temperature of the inner tube is greater than the corresponding temperature threshold.
[0012] Optionally, when the temperature of the inner tube increases, the rotational speed of the inner fan is increased, including: for every 1°C increase in the temperature of the inner tube, the rotational speed of the inner fan is increased by a first predetermined rotational speed value; when the temperature of the inner tube decreases for a predetermined number of consecutive cycles, the rotational speed of the inner fan is decreased, including: for every 1°C decrease in the temperature of the inner tube, the rotational speed of the inner fan is decreased by a second predetermined rotational speed value, wherein the second predetermined rotational speed value is less than the first predetermined rotational speed value.
[0013] Optionally, when a predetermined condition is met, controlling the air conditioner to exit the anti-cold air mode and turn off the electric auxiliary heating includes: determining that the predetermined condition has been met when the anti-cold air mode has been running for a predetermined period of time or when the temperature of the inner pipe is greater than a predetermined temperature threshold; controlling the air conditioner to exit the anti-cold air mode and turn off the electric auxiliary heating.

[0028] It should be understood that when an element (such as a layer, film, region, or substrate) is described as being "on" another element, the element may be directly on the other element, or there may be an intermediate element present. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, when an element is described as being "connected" to another element, the element may be "directly connected" to the other element, or "connected" to the other element via a third element.
[0029] As mentioned in the background section, existing air conditioning anti-cold air control methods result in slow room temperature rise. To address the aforementioned problem, in a typical embodiment of this application, an air conditioning control method, control device, computer-readable storage medium, processor, and air conditioning system are provided.
[0030] According to an embodiment of this application, an air conditioning control method is provided.
[0031] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an air conditioner control method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0032] Step S101: When the air conditioner starts running in heating mode, control the air conditioner to enter anti-cold air mode.
[0033] Step S102: Obtain the indoor temperature, and control the electric auxiliary heating of the air conditioner to open to a predetermined level based on the indoor temperature.
[0034] Step S103: Adjust the speed of the indoor fan according to at least the temperature change of the indoor pipe of the air conditioner, where the indoor pipe is the evaporator pipe.
[0035] Step S104: Under the condition that the predetermined conditions are met, control the air conditioner to exit the anti-cold air mode and turn off the electric auxiliary heating.
[0036] The aforementioned air conditioner control method firstly controls the air conditioner to enter anti-cold air mode when the heating mode is started; then, it acquires the indoor temperature and controls the electric auxiliary heating of the air conditioner to activate at a predetermined level based on the indoor temperature; subsequently, it adjusts the speed of the indoor fan based on at least the temperature change of the air conditioner's inner pipe; finally, when predetermined conditions are met, it controls the air conditioner to exit the anti-cold air mode and shuts off the electric auxiliary heating. The method of this application, when the air conditioner is in heating mode and in anti-cold air mode, intelligently controls the electric auxiliary heating and the speed of the indoor fan based on the indoor temperature and the temperature change of the air conditioner's inner pipe, ensuring that the blown air is of a higher temperature. While providing anti-cold air protection, it also ensures a relatively rapid rise in room temperature, effectively alleviating the problem of slow room temperature rise caused by existing air conditioner anti-cold air control methods, and ensuring better human comfort.
[0037] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0038] According to a specific embodiment of this application, the electric auxiliary heating of the air conditioner is controlled to a predetermined level based on the indoor temperature. This includes: the higher the indoor temperature, the higher the level of the electric auxiliary heating; the higher the level of the electric auxiliary heating, the lower its operating power. In other words, when the indoor temperature is high, the electric auxiliary heating is controlled to operate at a lower power, thus ensuring a faster rise in room temperature and maintaining human comfort while effectively saving energy and promoting energy conservation and environmental protection.
[0039] According to another specific embodiment of this application, controlling the electric auxiliary heating of the air conditioner to activate at a predetermined level based on the indoor temperature includes: controlling the electric auxiliary heating to activate at a first level when the indoor temperature is within a first temperature range; controlling the electric auxiliary heating to activate at a second level when the indoor temperature is within a second predetermined range; and controlling the electric auxiliary heating to activate at a third level when the indoor temperature is within a third predetermined range. By controlling the electric auxiliary heating to activate at different levels based on the indoor temperature, the problem of cold air blowing during heating mode is further avoided, while also ensuring a faster rise in room temperature during heating mode.
[0040] In another specific embodiment of this application, after the air conditioner starts operating in heating mode and is controlled to enter anti-cold air mode, before adjusting the speed of the indoor fan based at least on the temperature change of the air conditioner's inner pipe, the control method further includes: controlling the indoor fan of the air conditioner to turn on and operate at a low speed, wherein the low speed is a speed range of 450 RPM to 750 RPM. By controlling the indoor fan to operate at a low speed, the problem of cold air being blown out is further avoided, further ensuring a higher level of user experience.
[0041] In one specific embodiment, the indoor fan of the air conditioner is turned on and runs at a speed of 500 RPM.
[0042] In practical applications, to further ensure that the blown air is at a higher temperature and to further guarantee the function of preventing cold air, in one specific embodiment of this application, the speed of the indoor fan is adjusted at least according to the temperature change of the indoor pipe of the air conditioner. This includes: acquiring the temperature of the indoor pipe once every preset time interval; determining whether the current temperature of the indoor pipe is greater than a temperature threshold; if the temperature of the indoor pipe is greater than the temperature threshold, determining the temperature change of the indoor pipe; if the temperature of the indoor pipe increases, increasing the speed of the indoor fan until a set fan speed is reached; and if the temperature of the indoor pipe decreases for a predetermined number of consecutive cycles, decreasing the speed of the indoor fan. This method, by increasing the speed of the indoor fan when the temperature of the indoor pipe increases and decreasing the speed of the indoor fan when the temperature of the indoor pipe decreases for a predetermined number of consecutive cycles, further avoids the problem of cold air being blown out in heating mode.
[0043] In practical applications, determining whether the temperature of the inner tube exceeds a temperature threshold involves: determining the corresponding temperature threshold based on the indoor temperature (which varies across different temperature ranges); and confirming whether the temperature of the inner tube exceeds the corresponding temperature threshold. This ensures that the activation level of the electric auxiliary heater and the speed of the internal fan can be adjusted more accurately based on the indoor temperature and the temperature of the inner tube, further ensuring a faster rise in room temperature and preventing the problem of low-temperature blown air.
[0044] In another specific embodiment of this application, when the temperature of the inner tube increases, the rotational speed of the inner fan is increased, including: for every 1°C increase in the temperature of the inner tube, the rotational speed of the inner fan is increased by a first predetermined rotational speed value; when the temperature of the inner tube decreases for a predetermined number of consecutive cycles, the rotational speed of the inner fan is decreased, including: for every 1°C decrease in the temperature of the inner tube, the rotational speed of the inner fan is decreased by a second predetermined rotational speed value, wherein the second predetermined rotational speed value is less than the first predetermined rotational speed value.
[0045] According to another specific embodiment of this application, when a predetermined condition is met, controlling the air conditioner to exit the anti-cold air mode and turning off the electric auxiliary heating includes: determining that the predetermined condition has been met when the anti-cold air mode has been running for a predetermined period of time or when the temperature of the inner pipe is greater than a predetermined temperature threshold; controlling the air conditioner to exit the anti-cold air mode and turning off the electric auxiliary heating, such as... Figure 2 As shown, when entering the anti-cold air mode, the upper and lower air guide vanes 100 of the air conditioner reach a horizontal position, i.e., the anti-cold air position. When exiting the anti-cold air mode, the upper and lower air guide vanes 100 immediately revert to the angle set by the user. This ensures that the anti-cold air mode is intelligently exited when the predetermined conditions are met, facilitating subsequent operation of the air conditioner according to the user's settings.
[0046] In one specific embodiment, the first predetermined speed value is 50 RPM, the second predetermined speed value is 30 RPM, the predetermined time period is 4 minutes, and the preset time is 5 seconds, which corresponds to the following three cases:
[0047] In the first scenario, the first temperature range is defined as an indoor temperature Tindoor < 10°C, corresponding to a temperature threshold of 35°C. At this time, the electric auxiliary heating is activated at its first setting, with a power output of 400W in a medium-high power mode. Simultaneously, the air conditioner's indoor fan is activated and runs at a low speed. The temperature Ttube of the inner pipe is checked every 5 seconds. When the temperature Ttube is ≥ 35°C, the indoor fan speed increases by 50 RPM for every 1°C increase in temperature until the user-set fan speed is reached. If the temperature Ttube is detected to decrease twice consecutively during operation, the fan speed decreases by 30 RPM for every 1°C decrease in temperature. The predetermined temperature threshold is 44°C. After a total of 4 minutes of operation or when the temperature Ttube reaches ≥ 44°C, the intelligent anti-cold air mode is automatically exited, the electric auxiliary heating is turned off, and operation resumes according to the user settings.
[0048] The second method involves setting the second temperature range to 10℃ ≤ T < 20℃ for the indoor temperature T, corresponding to a temperature threshold of 33℃. In this mode, the electric auxiliary heating is activated at its second setting, with a power output of 300W in medium power mode. Simultaneously, the air conditioner's indoor fan is activated and runs at low speed. The temperature Ttube of the inner pipe is checked every 5 seconds. When the temperature Ttube is ≥ 33℃, the fan speed increases by 50 RPM for every 1℃ increase in temperature until the user-set fan speed is reached. If the temperature Ttube is detected to decrease twice consecutively during operation, the fan speed decreases by 30 RPM for every 1℃ decrease in temperature. The predetermined temperature threshold is 46℃. After a total of 4 minutes of operation or when the temperature Ttube reaches ≥ 46℃, the intelligent anti-cold air mode is automatically exited, the electric auxiliary heating is turned off, and operation resumes according to the user settings.
[0049] The third temperature range is defined as an indoor temperature Tindoor ≥ 20℃, corresponding to a temperature threshold of 33℃. In this case, the electric auxiliary heating is activated at its third setting, with a low-power operation of 200W. Simultaneously, the air conditioner's indoor fan is activated and runs at low speed. The temperature Tpipe of the inner pipe is checked every 5 seconds. When the temperature Tpipe is ≥ 33℃, the indoor fan speed increases by 50 RPM for every 1℃ increase in temperature until the user-set fan speed is reached. If the temperature Tpipe is detected to decrease twice consecutively during operation, the fan speed decreases by 30 RPM for every 1℃ decrease in temperature. The predetermined temperature threshold is 48℃. After a total of 4 minutes of operation or when the temperature Tpipe reaches ≥ 48℃, the intelligent anti-cold air mode is automatically exited, the electric auxiliary heating is turned off, and operation resumes according to the user settings. Of course, the above method may also include other situations. The first predetermined speed value, the second predetermined speed value, the predetermined time period, the preset time, the first temperature range, the second temperature range, the third temperature range, the temperature threshold, and the predetermined temperature may also be other values, which can be determined by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation.
[0050] This application also provides an air conditioner control device. It should be noted that the air conditioner control device of this application can be used to execute the air conditioner control method provided in this application. The air conditioner control device provided in this application is described below.
[0051] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an air conditioner control device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3As shown, the device includes a first control unit 10, an acquisition unit 20, an adjustment unit 30, and a second control unit 40. The first control unit 10 is used to control the air conditioner to enter the anti-cold air mode when the air conditioner starts to run in heating mode. The acquisition unit 20 is used to acquire the indoor temperature and control the electric auxiliary heating of the air conditioner to open to a predetermined level based on the indoor temperature. The adjustment unit 30 is used to adjust the speed of the indoor fan, where the indoor pipe is the evaporator pipe, based at least on the temperature change of the indoor pipe. The second control unit 40 is used to control the air conditioner to exit the anti-cold air mode and turn off the electric auxiliary heating when a predetermined condition is met.
[0052] The aforementioned air conditioner control device, through the first control unit, controls the air conditioner to enter the anti-cold air mode when the air conditioner starts operating in heating mode; through the acquisition unit, it acquires the indoor temperature and controls the electric auxiliary heating of the air conditioner to open to a predetermined level based on the indoor temperature; through the adjustment unit, it adjusts the speed of the indoor fan at least according to the temperature change of the air conditioner's inner pipe; and through the second control unit, it controls the air conditioner to exit the anti-cold air mode and turn off the electric auxiliary heating when a predetermined condition is met. The aforementioned device of this application, when the air conditioner starts operating in heating mode and enters the anti-cold air mode, intelligently controls the electric auxiliary heating and the speed of the indoor fan based on the indoor temperature and the temperature change of the air conditioner's inner pipe, ensuring that the blown air is of a higher temperature. While achieving the anti-cold air function, it also ensures that the room temperature rises relatively quickly, effectively alleviating the problem of slow room temperature rise caused by existing air conditioner anti-cold air control methods, and ensuring better human comfort.
[0053] According to a specific embodiment of this application, the aforementioned acquisition unit includes a first control subunit. The first control subunit is used to control the electric auxiliary heating to operate at a higher level as the indoor temperature increases. The higher the level of the electric auxiliary heating, the lower its operating power. That is, when the indoor temperature is high, the electric auxiliary heating is controlled to operate at a lower power, thus ensuring a faster rise in room temperature and maintaining human comfort while effectively saving energy and promoting energy conservation and environmental protection.
[0054] According to another specific embodiment of this application, the acquisition unit includes a second control subunit, a third control subunit, and a fourth control subunit. The second control subunit is used to control the electric auxiliary heating to activate at a first level when the indoor temperature is within a first temperature range; the third control subunit is used to control the electric auxiliary heating to activate at a second level when the indoor temperature is within a second predetermined range; and the fourth control subunit is used to control the electric auxiliary heating to activate at a third level when the indoor temperature is within a third predetermined range. By controlling the electric auxiliary heating to activate at different levels according to the indoor temperature, the problem of cold air blowing during heating mode is further avoided, and the room temperature rises more quickly during heating mode.
[0055] In another specific embodiment of this application, the control device further includes a third control unit. This third control unit is used to, after the air conditioner enters the anti-cold air mode when its heating mode is activated, and before adjusting the speed of the indoor fan based on changes in the temperature of the air conditioner's inner pipe, control the indoor fan to start and operate at a low speed. This low speed is a speed range of 450 RPM to 750 RPM. By controlling the indoor fan to operate at a low speed, the problem of cold air being blown out is further avoided, thus ensuring a higher level of user comfort.
[0056] In one specific embodiment, the indoor fan of the air conditioner is turned on and runs at a speed of 500 RPM.
[0057] In practical applications, to further ensure that the blown air is at a higher temperature and to further ensure the function of preventing cold air, in a specific embodiment of this application, the adjustment unit includes a first acquisition subunit, a first determination subunit, a second determination subunit, an increase subunit, and a decrease subunit. The first acquisition subunit acquires the temperature of the inner tube at preset time intervals. The first determination subunit determines whether the current temperature of the inner tube is greater than a temperature threshold. The second determination subunit determines the temperature change of the inner tube when the temperature is greater than the temperature threshold. The increase subunit increases the speed of the inner fan when the temperature of the inner tube increases until a set wind speed is reached. The decrease subunit decreases the speed of the inner fan when the temperature of the inner tube decreases for a predetermined number of consecutive cycles. By increasing the speed of the inner fan when the temperature of the inner tube increases and decreasing the speed of the inner fan when the temperature of the inner tube decreases for a predetermined number of consecutive cycles, the device further avoids the problem of cold air being blown out in heating mode.
[0058] In practical applications, the aforementioned first determining subunit includes a first determining module and a second determining module. The first determining module determines a corresponding temperature threshold based on the indoor temperature; the temperature threshold varies depending on the indoor temperature range. The second determining module determines whether the temperature of the inner pipe exceeds the corresponding temperature threshold. This ensures that the activation level of the electric auxiliary heater and the speed of the internal fan are adjusted more accurately based on the indoor temperature and the temperature of the inner pipe, further ensuring a faster temperature rise in the room and avoiding the problem of low-temperature blown air.
[0059] In another specific embodiment of this application, the enlarging subunit includes an enlarging module, which is used to increase the rotational speed of the internal fan by a first predetermined speed value for every 1°C increase in the temperature of the inner tube; the decrementing subunit includes a decrementing module, which is used to decrease the rotational speed of the internal fan by a second predetermined speed value for every 1°C decrease in the temperature of the inner tube, wherein the second predetermined speed value is less than the first predetermined speed value.
[0060] According to another specific embodiment of this application, the second control unit includes a third determining subunit and a fifth control subunit, wherein the third determining subunit is used to determine that the predetermined condition has been met when the anti-cold air mode has been running for a predetermined period of time or when the temperature of the inner pipe is greater than a predetermined temperature threshold; the fifth control subunit is used to control the air conditioner to exit the anti-cold air mode and turn off the electric auxiliary heating, such as... Figure 2 As shown, when entering the anti-cold air mode, the upper and lower air guide vanes 100 of the air conditioner reach a horizontal position, i.e., the anti-cold air position. When exiting the anti-cold air mode, the upper and lower air guide vanes 100 immediately revert to the angle set by the user. This ensures that the anti-cold air mode is intelligently exited when the predetermined conditions are met, facilitating subsequent operation of the air conditioner according to the user's settings.
[0061] In one specific embodiment, the first predetermined speed value is 50 RPM, the second predetermined speed value is 30 RPM, the predetermined time period is 4 minutes, and the preset time is 5 seconds, which corresponds to the following three cases:
[0062] In the first scenario, the first temperature range is defined as an indoor temperature Tindoor < 10°C, corresponding to a temperature threshold of 35°C. At this time, the electric auxiliary heating is activated at its first setting, with a power output of 400W in a medium-high power mode. Simultaneously, the air conditioner's indoor fan is activated and runs at a low speed. The temperature Ttube of the inner pipe is checked every 5 seconds. When the temperature Ttube is ≥ 35°C, the indoor fan speed increases by 50 RPM for every 1°C increase in temperature until the user-set fan speed is reached. If the temperature Ttube is detected to decrease twice consecutively during operation, the fan speed decreases by 30 RPM for every 1°C decrease in temperature. The predetermined temperature threshold is 44°C. After a total of 4 minutes of operation or when the temperature Ttube reaches ≥ 44°C, the intelligent anti-cold air mode is automatically exited, the electric auxiliary heating is turned off, and operation resumes according to the user settings.
[0063] The second method involves setting the second temperature range to 10℃ ≤ T < 20℃ for the indoor temperature T, corresponding to a temperature threshold of 33℃. In this mode, the electric auxiliary heating is activated at its second setting, with a power output of 300W in medium power mode. Simultaneously, the air conditioner's indoor fan is activated and runs at low speed. The temperature Ttube of the inner pipe is checked every 5 seconds. When the temperature Ttube is ≥ 33℃, the fan speed increases by 50 RPM for every 1℃ increase in temperature until the user-set fan speed is reached. If the temperature Ttube is detected to decrease twice consecutively during operation, the fan speed decreases by 30 RPM for every 1℃ decrease in temperature. The predetermined temperature threshold is 46℃. After a total of 4 minutes of operation or when the temperature Ttube reaches ≥ 46℃, the intelligent anti-cold air mode is automatically exited, the electric auxiliary heating is turned off, and operation resumes according to the user settings.
[0064] The third temperature range is defined as an indoor temperature Tindoor ≥ 20℃, corresponding to a temperature threshold of 33℃. In this case, the electric auxiliary heating is activated at its third setting, with a low-power operation of 200W. Simultaneously, the air conditioner's indoor fan is activated and runs at low speed. The temperature Tpipe of the inner pipe is checked every 5 seconds. When the temperature Tpipe is ≥ 33℃, the indoor fan speed increases by 50 RPM for every 1℃ increase in temperature until the user-set fan speed is reached. If the temperature Tpipe is detected to decrease twice consecutively during operation, the fan speed decreases by 30 RPM for every 1℃ decrease in temperature. The predetermined temperature threshold is 48℃. After a total of 4 minutes of operation or when the temperature Tpipe reaches ≥ 48℃, the intelligent anti-cold air mode is automatically exited, the electric auxiliary heating is turned off, and operation resumes according to the user settings. Of course, the above-mentioned device may also include other cases. The first predetermined speed value, the second predetermined speed value, the predetermined time period, the preset time, the first temperature range, the second temperature range, the third temperature range, the temperature threshold, and the predetermined temperature may also be other values, which can be determined by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation.
[0065] The control device of the air conditioner mentioned above includes a processor and a memory.
