[0019] Some specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in the drawings indicate the same or similar components or parts. Those skilled in the art should understand that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0023] Figure 4 is a schematic architecture diagram of an air conditioner and a computer according to an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present embodiment first provides a control method of an air conditioner, which can realize intelligent interconnection of the air conditioner and the computer, provide a smart home appliance interconnection scene, and improve the user experience. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a control method of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1 , the control method of the air conditioner can include the following steps:

[0025] Step S102, obtaining an ambient temperature of an outdoor environment of the air conditioner;

[0026] Step S104, judging whether the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, if yes, executing step S106;

[0027] Step S106, detecting the running power of the computer in the indoor environment of the air conditioner;

[0028] Step S108, adjusting the refrigeration state of the air conditioner according to the running power.

[0029] In the above steps, step S102 obtains the ambient temperature of the outdoor environment of the air conditioner, which can be detected by the outdoor environment temperature sensor of the air conditioner in a specific embodiment. Step S104 judges whether the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, and in the case of yes, that is, the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, it indicates that the ambient temperature of the outdoor environment is high at this time, which may be hot summer, and it may be necessary to refrigerate the indoor environment.

[0030] In the case of yes in step S104, steps S106 and S108 are executed, the running power of the computer in the indoor environment of the air conditioner is detected, and the refrigeration state of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the running power. That is, in the case that the ambient temperature of the outdoor environment is high, the refrigeration state of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the running power of the computer in the indoor environment. Instead of blindly controlling the air conditioner to start refrigeration immediately when the ambient temperature of the outdoor environment is high without distinction, this can make the refrigeration state of the air conditioner more in line with the actual situation of the indoor environment, and reduce energy consumption to a certain extent.

[0031] For example, in a preferred embodiment, the running power in step S106 can include a high power range and a low power range. The step S108 of adjusting the refrigeration state of the air conditioner according to the running power can include: judging whether the running power is in the high power range; and if yes, controlling the air conditioner to start refrigeration with a delay. And in the case that the running power of the computer is in the low power range, the air conditioner can be controlled to shut down. Controlling the air conditioner to start refrigeration with a delay and controlling the air conditioner to shut down can both effectively reduce energy consumption.

[0032] After the computer is turned on, the user plays games or draws office, the CPU or graphics card and other components of the computer will work in different power states, thereby generating heat, causing the indoor environment temperature to rise. The running power of the computer is different, the heat generated is different, thereby causing the indoor environment temperature to rise at different rates. Specifically, the higher the running power of the computer, the more heat generated, the greater the indoor environment temperature rises; the lower the running power of the computer, the less heat generated, the smaller the indoor environment temperature rises. That is, in the case that the ambient temperature of the outdoor environment is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, and there is a demand to control the air conditioner to start refrigeration to reduce the indoor environment temperature, the higher the running power of the computer, the more urgent the demand to start the air conditioner refrigeration.

[0033] If the computer is operating at high power, the air conditioner will be delayed in starting to cool. Delaying the cooling process reduces the air conditioner's energy consumption. During this delay, the computer operates at high power, generating a significant amount of heat and causing a substantial increase in indoor temperature. Turning on the air conditioner at this time allows the indoor temperature to drop promptly, ensuring a more comfortable user experience.

[0034] When the computer is operating at low power, the air conditioner can be turned off. The heat generated by the computer at low power is limited, resulting in a negligible increase in indoor temperature. Therefore, the air conditioner can be turned off directly, and since the air conditioner adjusts its cooling settings based on the computer's power consumption, the indoor temperature may not need to be adjusted. It's worth noting that if the air conditioner can be turned off when the computer is operating at low power, it's also reasonable to assume that the air conditioner can be turned off when the computer is off.

[0035] The reason why the air conditioner's cooling status is adjusted based on the computer's operating power is that when the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, and the indoor ambient temperature may need to be adjusted by turning on the air conditioner for cooling, it may delay the air conditioner's cooling start or turn it off, rather than immediately starting the cooling. This is because an outdoor ambient temperature greater than or equal to the preset temperature only indicates that the indoor ambient temperature may be high and needs to be cooled, but it may also mean that the indoor ambient temperature is relatively cool due to factors such as orientation or floor level, and the air conditioner does not need to start cooling immediately.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, before executing step S102 to obtain the ambient temperature of the outdoor environment of the air conditioner, the process may further include receiving a trigger signal indicating that the user has activated the interconnection mode. That is, steps S102 to S108 of this embodiment can only be executed when the user has activated the interconnection mode, adjusting the air conditioner's cooling status according to the computer's operating power. When the user has not activated the interconnection mode, the air conditioner can be controlled in a conventional manner, allowing the user to determine whether the air conditioner should start cooling. In other words, if the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature and the user feels the indoor environment is too hot, they can ignore the operating status of devices such as computers in the indoor environment and directly control the air conditioner to start cooling.

[0037] As for receiving the trigger signal for starting the interconnection mode, specifically, the trigger signal can be acquired in a variety of different ways. For example, the user can start the interconnection mode by performing a relevant operation through a mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner, and the air conditioner side considers that the trigger signal has been received after receiving the relevant instruction. The mobile terminal can be a smart device that is convenient to move, such as a smart phone and a smart tablet, and the like. In other embodiments, the user can also perform a similar operation through a display device provided by the air conditioner itself to start the interconnection mode, and the air conditioner considers that the trigger signal has been received after receiving the relevant instruction.

[0038] In summary, the control method of the air conditioner of the embodiment can realize the intelligent interconnection of the air conditioner and the computer, provide a smart home appliance interconnection scene, fully meet the use requirements of the user, and effectively improve the intelligent degree, by acquiring the ambient temperature of the outdoor environment of the air conditioner, judging whether the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature, and detecting the running power of the computer in the indoor environment of the air conditioner when the result is yes, and adjusting the refrigeration state of the air conditioner according to the running power.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the air conditioner capable of realizing interconnection with the computer can achieve higher technical effects through further optimization and configuration of the above steps, and the control method of the air conditioner of the embodiment will be described in detail below in combination with the introduction of an optional execution flow of the embodiment. The embodiment is only an example of the execution flow, and in specific implementation, the execution order and running conditions of part of the steps can be modified according to specific implementation requirements. Figure 2 is a detailed flowchart of the control method of the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application, and the control method of the air conditioner comprises the following steps:

[0040] Step S202, acquiring the ambient temperature of the outdoor environment of the air conditioner;

[0041] Step S204, judging whether the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature, if yes, executing step S208, and if no, executing step S206;

[0042] Step S206, controlling the air conditioner to shut down;

[0043] Step S208, detecting the running power of the computer in the indoor environment of the air conditioner;

[0044] Step S210, judging whether the running power is in a high-power range, if yes, executing step S214, and if no, executing step S212;

[0045] Step S212, the running power is in a low-power range, and the air conditioner is controlled to shut down;

[0046] Step S214, controlling the air conditioner to start the refrigeration in a delayed manner.

[0047] It should be noted that the operation mode of the air conditioner can include the interconnection mode and the air mode, and the air mode includes the cooling mode and the heating mode. That is to say, the air mode and the interconnection mode can be two total operation modes, and only in the total operation mode of the air mode, a plurality of sub-modes are included, for example, the air mode includes the cooling mode and the heating mode. Similar to the foregoing, before the step S202 of acquiring the environment temperature of the outdoor environment of the air conditioner, the step of receiving the trigger signal of the user starting the interconnection mode can also be included. That is to say, the above steps S202 to S214 of the embodiment can be executed only in the case that the user starts the interconnection mode, and the cooling state of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the operation power of the computer in general.

[0048] In the case that the user does not start the interconnection mode, the air conditioner can be controlled in a traditional manner, and the user can determine whether the air conditioner starts cooling by himself. That is, in the case that the interconnection mode is not started, if the outdoor environment temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the user can directly control the air conditioner to start cooling if he feels that the indoor environment is too hot, regardless of the working state of the computer and other devices in the indoor environment.

[0049] The precondition for realizing the scheme of adjusting the cooling state of the air conditioner according to the operation power of the computer in the embodiment is that the air conditioner is interconnected with the computer. Specifically, the control device of the air conditioner can be arranged between the air conditioner and the computer, and the control device can receive the signals sent by the air conditioner and the computer and send signals to the air conditioner and the computer. The control device can be additionally and independently arranged, or arranged in the air conditioner.

[0050] The step S208 detects the operation power of the computer in the indoor environment of the air conditioner. The computer can be scanned at a preset frequency to determine the operation power in time and accurately, and the related information of the operation frequency can be sent to the control device for acquisition by the control device. It should be noted that the methods of the embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiments are described from the side of the control device, and the related steps are executed by the control device.

[0051] The operation power of the computer in the step S208 can include a high power range and a low power range. In a specific embodiment, the first preset power and the second preset power are in the high power range, and the first preset power is greater than the second preset power. The step S210 judges whether the operation power is in the high power range, and the step S214 is executed to control the air conditioner to start cooling with a delay when the result is yes.

[0052] The higher the running power of the computer, the more heat is generated, and the greater the increase in the indoor ambient temperature. The lower the running power of the computer, the less heat is generated, and the smaller the increase in the indoor ambient temperature. When the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, and there is a demand to control the air conditioner to start cooling to reduce the indoor ambient temperature, the higher the running power of the computer, the more urgent the demand to start the air conditioner to cool. Therefore, even if the running power of the computer is in the high-power range, the specific time length value of the air conditioner to delay starting cooling is not the same according to the specific size of the power value.

[0053] When the running power is the first preset power, the step S214 of controlling the air conditioner to delay starting cooling includes: controlling the air conditioner to start cooling after the computer runs for the first preset time length according to the first preset power. When the running power is the second preset power, the step S214 of controlling the air conditioner to delay starting cooling includes: controlling the air conditioner to start cooling after the computer runs for the second preset time length according to the second preset power, wherein the second preset time length is greater than the first preset time length.

[0054] The following describes a specific embodiment: The high-power range of the running power of the computer can be 60% to 100% (including 60%), and the low-power range can be 0 to 60% (not including 60%). Therefore, when the running power of the computer is in the high-power range of 60% to 100% (including 60%), the air conditioner can be controlled to delay starting cooling. When the running power of the computer is in the low-power range of 0 to 60% (not including 60%), the air conditioner can be controlled to shut down. Wherein the running power of the computer is 0, indicating that the computer is in the shutdown state.

[0055] More specifically, the first preset power can be 100%, and the second preset power can be 70%. Therefore, when the running power of the computer is the first preset power 100%, i.e., full-power running, the air conditioner can be controlled to start cooling after the computer runs for the first preset time length of 30 minutes according to the first preset power 100%. When the running power of the computer is the second preset power 70%, the air conditioner can be controlled to start cooling after the computer runs for the second preset time length of 60 minutes according to the second preset power 70%. This is mainly because, as mentioned in the foregoing, when there is a demand to start the air conditioner to cool, the higher the running power of the computer, the more urgent the demand to start the air conditioner to cool. Therefore, when the running frequency of the computer is in the high-frequency range, the higher the running frequency, the shorter the time length of the air conditioner to delay starting cooling; the lower the running frequency, the longer the time length of the air conditioner to delay starting cooling.

[0056] In some other embodiments, when the running power of the computer is 90%, the air conditioner can be controlled to start cooling after the computer runs at 90% for 40 minutes; when the running power of the computer is 80%, the air conditioner can be controlled to start cooling after the computer runs at 80% for 50 minutes; and when the running power of the computer is 60%, the air conditioner can be controlled to start cooling after the computer runs at 60% for 70 minutes.

[0057] It should be noted that the specific values of the running power and the preset time length are only examples and do not limit the present application. In some other embodiments, other values can be set according to actual conditions, but the running power should be in the high-power range, and the higher the running power, the shorter the preset time length. In a specific embodiment, an information table can be pre-set, which stores the corresponding relationship between different running powers and preset time lengths. By querying the information table, the preset time length corresponding to the running frequency can be matched and determined. Alternatively, a related calculation formula or calculation curve of the running power and the preset time length can be determined according to experimental data in advance, and the corresponding preset time length can be determined in real time according to the running power.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, step S214 controls the air conditioner to start cooling after a delay, regardless of whether the running power is the first preset power, in which case the air conditioner is controlled to start cooling after the computer runs at the first preset power for a first preset time length, or whether the running power is the second preset power, in which case the air conditioner is controlled to start cooling after the computer runs at the second preset power for a second preset time length. At the same time that the air conditioner starts cooling, the swing leaf of the air conditioner can be controlled to open to a preset angle to direct the air outlet to the upper side of the computer.

[0059] Controlling the swing leaf of the air conditioner to open to a preset angle to direct the air outlet to the upper side of the computer at the same time that the air conditioner starts cooling can lower the temperature of the indoor environment while directly sending cold air to the upper side of the computer, so that the heat generated by the computer running at high power can be dissipated as soon as possible, and the user is most likely to be sitting in front of the computer running at high power. Directing the air outlet to the upper side of the computer can also avoid blowing directly on the user, so that the user can feel cool while avoiding the situation of catching a cold caused by blowing directly on the user, greatly improving the user's experience. In a specific embodiment, the computer can be a desktop computer, and more specifically, the computer can refer to the main unit of the desktop computer, rather than the display screen of the desktop computer, because when the desktop computer is working, the components that generate heat are mainly concentrated in the main unit.

[0060] In addition, in a specific embodiment, when it is detected that the running power of the computer changes from the high power range to the low power range, the air conditioner can be controlled to be turned off after the computer runs for a third preset time length in the low power range. The third preset time length can be the same as or different from the first preset time length and the second preset time length. For example, the third preset time length can be 30 minutes, and in other embodiments, the specific value of the third preset time length can also be set according to actual conditions.

[0061] Step S204 determines whether the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature. When the result is no, it is determined that the ambient temperature can not be too high, and the indoor environment does not need to be cooled, so step S206 is executed to control the air conditioner to be turned off. Since the running power of the computer includes the high power range and the low power range, according to the execution sequence of the above steps, step S210 determines whether the running power is in the high power range. When the result is no, it is determined that the running power is in the low power range, that is, step S212 is executed, and the running power is in the low power range, so the air conditioner is controlled to be turned off. That is, when the ambient temperature is less than the preset temperature, or when the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature and the running power is in the low power range, the air conditioner is controlled to be turned off.

[0062] In summary, the control method of the air conditioner of the embodiment controls the air conditioner to start cooling after the computer runs for a first preset time length when the running power is a first preset power, and controls the air conditioner to start cooling after the computer runs for a second preset time length when the running power is a second preset power, wherein the second preset time length is greater than the first preset time length. This enables the air conditioner to automatically adjust its cooling state according to the running power of the computer, and improves the user experience. When the running power of the computer is in the high power range, the air conditioner is controlled to be turned on with a delay, and when the running power of the computer is in the low power range, the air conditioner is controlled to be turned off in time, which can effectively reduce energy consumption and further improve the user experience.

[0066] The processor 310 can be a central processing unit (CPU) or a digital processing unit, etc. The processor 310 transmits and receives data through the communication interface.

[0067] As shown in Figure 4 The air conditioner 100 and the computer 200 can be arranged in the same indoor environment, which can ensure that the cooling state of the air conditioner 100 is adjusted according to the running power of the computer 200, and the temperature of the same indoor environment is adjusted, avoiding adjusting other indoor environments that have no effect on the computer 200.
