Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative work.

[0038] Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of the control device of the air conditioner provided by the present invention;

[0039] Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of the electronic device provided by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0042] Usually, users have different requirements for indoor ambient temperature in different scenarios. For this reason, traditional air conditioners can preset multiple scene modes for users to choose from based on the actual conditions of different scenarios. For example, when a traditional air conditioner executes the "sleep scene mode", it can control the indoor temperature at a suitable temperature when the user is resting; or, when a traditional air conditioner executes the "extremely fast and refreshing scene mode", it can quickly lower the indoor ambient temperature after the user enters the room from outdoors in summer.

[0043] The traditional air conditioner has a single control mode in a certain scene mode, that is, when the traditional air conditioner executes a certain scene mode, the traditional air conditioner's operating parameters such as set temperature, wind speed, wind direction and operation mode are fixed. For example: when the traditional air conditioner executes the "Extreme Speed ​​​​Refreshing Scene Mode", the traditional air conditioner runs in the cooling mode with a set temperature of 18℃, strong wind and left and right + up and down automatic swing wind to ensure that the indoor ambient temperature can be quickly reduced.

[0044] However, traditional air conditioners can lower the indoor temperature to a suitable temperature in a short time after starting to execute the "Extreme Speed ​​and Refreshing Scene Mode". As the indoor temperature drops, the user's perceived temperature also drops. If the traditional air conditioner continues to cool with fixed operating parameters such as set temperature, wind speed and wind direction, the indoor temperature will be further lowered, causing the user's perceived temperature to be too low, resulting in a poor user comfort experience. If the user feels too cold when the air conditioner executes the "Extreme Speed ​​and Refreshing Scene Mode", the user will manually switch the air conditioner's scene mode again, which is cumbersome and provides a poor user experience.

[0045] In addition, traditional air conditioners have high energy consumption when executing the "Extreme Speed ​​and Refreshing Scene Mode", which makes it difficult to meet the energy-saving and environmental protection needs of air conditioners.

[0046] In this regard, the present invention provides a control method, device and air conditioner for an air conditioner. Based on the control method for an air conditioner provided by the present invention, when the air conditioner executes the "Extreme Speed ​​and Refreshing Scene Mode", the air conditioner can be controlled more flexibly, so that on the basis of reducing the indoor ambient temperature in a short time, the user's poor comfort experience caused by the indoor ambient temperature being too low can be further avoided, the user's manual operation can be reduced, the user's perception can be improved, and the energy consumption of the air conditioner can be reduced.

[0047] Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of the control method of the air conditioner provided by the present invention. Figure 1 The control method of the air conditioner of the present invention is described. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: step 101, after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode, controlling the air conditioner to perform cooling with a first operating parameter in a cooling mode.

[0048] The operating parameters include: set temperature, wind speed, the swing mode of the horizontal swing blades in the air conditioner, and the swing mode of the vertical swing blades in the air conditioner.

[0049] It should be noted that the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention is a control device of an air conditioner.

[0050] The air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention can be used for indoor ambient temperature, and the environment within the preset distance outside the indoor environment can be used as the outdoor ambient temperature corresponding to the indoor environment. The preset distance can be determined according to actual conditions, for example, the preset distance can be 10 meters, and the preset distance is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] Specifically, the target scene mode may be the above-mentioned “extreme speed and refreshing scene mode”.

[0052] In order to avoid the indoor environment temperature being too low and the energy consumption of the air conditioner being too high when the air conditioner executes the target scene mode, in an embodiment of the present invention, the execution of the target scene mode by the air conditioner is divided into three stages from the moment the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode to the moment the air conditioner stops executing the target scene mode.

[0053] After the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode, it enters the first stage of executing the target scene mode.

[0054] In the first stage of executing the target scene mode, the air conditioner may be controlled to operate with the first operating parameters in the cooling mode to achieve a rapid reduction in the indoor ambient temperature.

[0055] It should be noted that the first operating parameter may include: a first set temperature, a first preset wind speed, and a first swing mode of the horizontal and vertical swing blades in the air conditioner. The first set temperature, the first preset wind speed, and the first swing mode may be determined based on prior knowledge and are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention. The swing mode of the horizontal and vertical swing blades in the air conditioner is related to the air outlet direction of the air conditioner.

[0056] It should be noted that when the user wants the air conditioner to execute the target scene mode, the user can input a control instruction carrying the instruction to start executing the target scene mode to control the air conditioner to start executing the target scene mode.

[0057] The user input may be expressed as a touch output on the target interface, and the touch output may include but is not limited to click input, slide input, and press input. The user input may also be expressed as a physical key input. The user input may also be expressed as a voice input. Among them, the target interface may be a display interface of a user terminal, or a control interface of an air conditioner. The physical key may be located on the air conditioner body, or on an external controller of the air conditioner.

[0058] It is understandable that the above-listed inputs are exemplary, that is, the present application embodiment includes but is not limited to the above-listed inputs. In actual implementation, the user's first input may also include any other possible inputs, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the present application embodiment does not limit this.

[0059] After receiving the above user input, the air conditioner may start to execute the target scene mode.

[0060] Step 102: When the air conditioner meets the first condition, control the air conditioner to perform cooling in a cooling mode with second operating parameters.

[0061] Specifically, when the air conditioner meets the first condition, it can be said that the indoor ambient temperature has dropped to a relatively suitable temperature, the air conditioner ends the first stage of executing the target scene mode, and enters the second stage of executing the target scene mode to avoid the indoor ambient temperature being too low.

[0062] In the second stage of executing the target scene mode, the air conditioner may be controlled to operate with second operating parameters in the cooling mode to prevent the indoor ambient temperature from further decreasing.

[0063] It should be noted that the first condition is predetermined based on prior knowledge. The specific content of the first condition is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] It should be noted that the second operating parameter may include: a second set temperature, a second preset wind speed, and a second swing mode of the horizontal and vertical swing blades in the air conditioner. The second set temperature, the second preset wind speed, and the second swing mode may be determined based on prior knowledge and are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0065] Step 103: When the air conditioner meets the second condition, control the air conditioner to operate with the third operating parameters in the PMV mode until the air conditioner stops executing the target scene mode.

[0066] Specifically, when the air conditioner meets the second condition, it can be said that the indoor ambient temperature has been relatively stable, and the air conditioner ends the second stage of executing the target scene mode, and then executes the third stage of the target scene mode. The air conditioner executes the third stage of the target scene mode until the air conditioner stops executing the target scene mode.

[0067] In the third stage of executing the target scene mode, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate with the third operating parameters in the PMV mode, so that the energy consumption of the air conditioner can be reduced while maintaining the indoor ambient temperature at a relatively suitable temperature.

[0068] Among them, the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) is a comprehensive evaluation index based on the basic equation of human thermal balance and the level of subjective thermal sensation in psychophysiology. It takes into account many relevant factors of human thermal comfort. Its theoretical basis is that when the human body is in a steady-state thermal environment, the greater the heat load of the human body, the further the human body deviates from the state of thermal comfort, and the smaller the heat load of the human body, that is, the greater the positive value of the human body's heat load, the hotter the person feels, and the greater the negative value, the colder the person feels.

[0069] The PMV mode of the air conditioner is an intelligent control mode for human comfort. When the air conditioner is in PMV mode, it can formulate the best comfort solution based on prior knowledge and the data such as indoor and outdoor ambient temperature, ambient humidity and wind speed obtained by sensors, so as to dynamically and accurately control the indoor ambient temperature based on the above comfort solution. In addition, the air conditioner is more energy-efficient when executing PMV mode, which can better meet the energy-saving and environmental protection needs of the air conditioner.

[0070] It should be noted that the second condition is predetermined based on prior knowledge. The specific content of the second condition is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] It should be noted that the third operating parameter may include: a third set temperature, a third wind speed, and a third swing mode of the horizontal and vertical swing blades in the air conditioner. The third set temperature, the third wind speed, and the third swing mode may be determined based on prior knowledge and are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0072] The embodiment of the present invention controls the air conditioner to operate with the first operating parameters in the cooling mode after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode, controls the air conditioner to operate with the second operating parameters in the cooling mode when the air conditioner meets the first condition, and controls the air conditioner to operate with the third operating parameters in the PMV mode when the air conditioner meets the second condition, until the air conditioner stops executing the target scene mode, wherein the operating parameters include the set temperature, wind speed, and the swinging mode of the horizontal and vertical swing blades in the air conditioner. The air conditioner can be controlled more flexibly during the execution of the target scene mode of the air conditioner, so as to further avoid the user's poor comfort experience caused by excessively low indoor temperature on the basis of lowering the indoor ambient temperature in a short time, reduce the user's manual operation, improve the user experience, and reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner, thereby better meeting the energy conservation and environmental protection of the air conditioner.

[0073] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, when the air conditioner meets the first condition, the air conditioner is controlled to operate with second operating parameters in cooling mode, including: when the cumulative time of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode is greater than the first preset value and the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than the second preset value, the air conditioner is controlled to operate with second operating parameters in cooling mode.

[0074] Among them, the air conditioner is used to control the indoor ambient temperature.

[0075] It should be noted that the first condition may be determined based on prior knowledge. The first condition may include: the cumulative time for the air conditioner to execute the target scene mode is greater than a first preset value, and the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than a second preset value.

[0076] Optionally, the first preset value may range from 2 minutes to 4 minutes, for example, the first preset value may be 2 minutes, 3 minutes or 4 minutes.

[0077] Preferably, the first preset value may be 3 minutes.

[0078] Optionally, the second preset value may range from 25°C to 27°C, for example, the second preset value may be 25°C, 26°C or 27°C.

[0079] Preferably, the second preset value may be 26°C.

[0080] The embodiment of the present invention can avoid the user's comfort experience being poor due to the indoor temperature being too low when the air conditioner executes the target scene mode, by controlling the air conditioner to operate with the second operating parameters in the cooling mode when the cumulative time of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode is greater than the first preset value and the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than the second preset value. This can reduce the user's manual operations and improve the user experience.

[0081] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, when the air conditioner meets the second condition, the air conditioner is controlled to operate with third operating parameters in PMV mode, including: when the cumulative time of the air conditioner operating with the second operating parameters in cooling mode is greater than the third preset value, the air conditioner is controlled to operate with third operating parameters in PMV mode.

[0082] It should be noted that the second condition may be determined based on prior knowledge. The second condition may include: the accumulated time of the air conditioner operating in the cooling mode with the second operating parameter is greater than a third preset value.

[0083] Optionally, the third preset value may range from 8 minutes to 12 minutes, for example, the third preset value may be 8 minutes, 10 minutes or 12 minutes.

[0084] Preferably, the third preset value may be 10 minutes.

[0085] The embodiment of the present invention controls the air conditioner to operate with a third operating parameter in the PMV mode when the cumulative time for which the air conditioner operates with the second operating parameter in the cooling mode is greater than a third preset value. This can maintain the indoor ambient temperature at a relatively suitable temperature when the air conditioner executes the target scene mode, thereby avoiding the user manually switching the scene mode of the air conditioner due to poor comfort experience, improving the user experience, and reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioner, thereby better meeting the energy conservation and environmental protection requirements of the air conditioner.

[0086] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, the first operating parameter includes: a first set temperature, a first preset wind speed, the horizontal swing blades swinging back and forth at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the first direction and the maximum angle in the second direction, and the vertical swing blades swinging back and forth at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the third direction and the maximum angle in the fourth direction.

[0087] The first set temperature ranges from 22 to 26°C.

[0088] The first preset wind speed is the maximum wind speed that the air conditioner can provide.

[0089] Specifically, the first operating parameter is determined based on prior knowledge.

[0090] It should be noted that the wind speed is the maximum wind speed that the air conditioner can provide, which is usually called strong wind.

[0091] It should be noted that the first direction is opposite to the second direction. The first direction may be vertically upward, and the second direction may be vertically downward; or, the first direction may be vertically downward, and the second direction may be vertically upward. The third direction is opposite to the fourth direction, and the third direction may be horizontally left, and the fourth direction may be horizontally right; or, the third direction may be horizontally right, and the fourth direction may be horizontally left.

[0092] When the horizontal swing blades of the air conditioner swing back and forth at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the first direction and the maximum angle in the second direction, the wind direction of the air outlet of the air conditioner is usually called automatic up and down swing; when the vertical swing blades of the air conditioner swing at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the third direction and the maximum angle in the fourth direction, the wind direction of the air outlet of the air conditioner is usually called automatic left and right swing.

[0093] Preferably, the first set temperature may be 24°C.

[0094] Accordingly, after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate in the cooling mode with a set temperature of 24° C., strong wind, and left and right + up and down automatic swing wind.

[0095] The embodiment of the present invention controls the air conditioner to operate in a cooling mode at a first set temperature, a first preset wind speed, and a constant speed reciprocating swing of the horizontal blades between a maximum angle in a first direction and a maximum angle in a second direction, and a constant speed reciprocating swing of the vertical blades between a maximum angle in a third direction and a maximum angle in a fourth direction, after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode. Therefore, after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode, the air conditioner can be controlled more accurately and efficiently to quickly reduce the indoor ambient temperature.

[0096] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, the second operating parameters include: a second set temperature, a second preset wind speed, the horizontal swing blades swinging back and forth at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the first direction and the maximum angle in the second direction, and the vertical swing blades swinging back and forth at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the third direction and the maximum angle in the fourth direction.

[0097] The second set temperature ranges from 22 to 26°C.

[0098] The second preset wind speed is less than the first preset wind speed.

[0099] Specifically, the second operating parameter is determined based on prior knowledge.

[0100] Optionally, the air conditioner may include multiple wind speed gears. The second preset wind speed may be the same as the wind speed when the air conditioner is in the median wind speed gear. For example, the air conditioner includes five wind speed gears. As the wind speed gears increase from small to large, the wind speed of the air outlet of the air conditioner increases accordingly. The second preset wind speed may be the same as the wind speed when the air conditioner is in the third wind speed gear.

[0101] Optionally, the second preset wind speed may also be the same as the automatic wind speed preset by the air conditioner.

[0102] Optionally, the second set temperature may be in the range of 22°C, 24°C or 26°C.

[0103] Preferably, the second set temperature may be 24°C.

[0104] Accordingly, when the air conditioner meets the first condition, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate in cooling mode with a set temperature of 24°C, automatic wind, and left and right + up and down automatic swing wind.

[0105] The embodiment of the present invention controls the air conditioner to operate in a cooling mode at a second set temperature, a second preset wind speed, and a uniform reciprocating swing speed of the horizontal swing blades between a maximum angle in a first direction and a maximum angle in a second direction, and a uniform reciprocating swing speed of the vertical swing blades between a maximum angle in a third direction and a maximum angle in a fourth direction, when the air conditioner satisfies a first condition. This allows the air conditioner to be controlled more accurately, efficiently and flexibly when executing a target scene mode, thereby preventing the user from experiencing a poor comfort experience due to excessively low indoor temperature when the air conditioner executes the target scene mode.

[0106] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, the third operating parameter includes: a third set temperature, a third preset wind speed, the horizontal swing blades swinging back and forth at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the first direction and the maximum angle in the second direction, and the vertical swing blades swinging back and forth at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the third direction and the maximum angle in the fourth direction.

[0107] The third set temperature is determined based on the PMV temperature of the air conditioner; the PMV temperature is calculated by the air conditioner when the air conditioner executes the PMV mode.

[0108] Specifically, the third operating parameter is determined based on prior knowledge.

[0109] Optionally, the air conditioner may include multiple wind speed gears. The third preset wind speed may be the same as the wind speed when the air conditioner is in the median wind speed gear, for example: the air conditioner includes five wind speed gears, as the wind speed gear increases from small to large, the wind speed of the air outlet of the air conditioner increases accordingly, and the third preset wind speed may be the same as the wind speed of the air outlet when the air conditioner is in the third wind speed gear.

[0110] Optionally, the third preset wind speed may also be the same as the automatic wind speed preset by the air conditioner.

[0111] It should be noted that the second preset wind speed and the third preset wind speed may be the same or different.

[0112] After the air conditioner executes the PMV mode, the air conditioner can calculate the best comfort solution based on prior knowledge and combined with the indoor and outdoor ambient temperature, ambient humidity, wind speed and other data obtained by the sensor. The above-mentioned best comfort solution includes the set temperature of the air conditioner during the execution of the PMV mode, and the above-mentioned set temperature changes dynamically. In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned set temperature is referred to as the PMV temperature.

[0113] Optionally, the third set temperature may be a difference between the above-mentioned PMV temperature and a fourth preset value.

[0114] The fourth preset value may range from 0.5°C to 1.5°C. For example, the fourth preset value may be 0.5°C, 1°C or 1.5°C.

[0115] Preferably, the fourth preset value may be 1° C. Accordingly, the third set temperature may be the above-mentioned PMV temperature minus 1° C.

[0116] Accordingly, when the air conditioner meets the second condition, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate in the PMV mode at the above PMV temperature minus 1°C, the third preset wind speed, and left and right + up and down automatic swing.

[0117] The embodiment of the present invention can control the air conditioner more accurately and efficiently by controlling the air conditioner to operate in the PMV mode at a third set temperature, a third preset wind speed, and a uniform reciprocating swing speed of the horizontal swing blades between the maximum angle in the first direction and the maximum angle in the second direction, and a uniform reciprocating swing speed of the vertical swing blades between the maximum angle in the third direction and the maximum angle in the fourth direction when the air conditioner meets the second condition. The indoor ambient temperature can be maintained at a relatively suitable temperature more stably.

[0118] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode and before controlling the air conditioner to operate with the first operating parameters, it also includes: when the outdoor ambient temperature is higher than the fifth preset value, the temperature difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the indoor ambient temperature is less than the sixth preset value and the air conditioner is currently in cooling mode, controlling the air conditioner to start executing the target scene mode.

[0119] Specifically, the outdoor ambient temperature and the indoor ambient temperature may be acquired by using sensors, and the temperature difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the indoor ambient temperature may be acquired by a numerical calculation method.

[0120] It should be noted that the outdoor ambient temperature is the ambient temperature within a preset distance outside the room. The preset distance can be determined based on prior knowledge, for example, the preset distance can be 10 meters. The preset distance is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0121] It should be noted that the outdoor ambient temperature and the indoor ambient temperature, as well as the temperature difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the indoor ambient temperature, change dynamically.

[0122] It should be noted that the fifth preset value and the sixth preset value may be determined based on prior knowledge. For example, the fifth preset value may be 35° C., and the sixth preset value may be 3° C. The specific values ​​of the fifth preset value and the sixth preset value are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0123] It can be understood that if the outdoor ambient temperature is higher than the fifth preset value, it can be said that the outdoor ambient temperature is high; if the above temperature difference is less than the sixth preset value, it can be said that the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is small; if the air conditioner is currently in cooling mode, it can be said that the indoor users have a need to cool down the indoor temperature.

[0124] Correspondingly, if the outdoor ambient temperature is higher than the fifth preset value, the temperature difference is less than the sixth preset value and the air conditioner is currently in cooling mode, it can be said that the outdoor ambient temperature is high and the indoor users have a need to cool down the indoor environment, but the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is small, and the indoor users' perceived temperature is high. The air conditioner's cooling effect on the indoor environment is difficult to achieve the expected effect, and the user's comfort experience is poor.

[0125] Therefore, when the outdoor ambient temperature is higher than the fifth preset value, the temperature difference is less than the sixth preset value, and the air conditioner is currently in the cooling mode, the air conditioner can be controlled to start executing the target scene mode.

[0126] The embodiment of the present invention controls the air conditioner to start executing the target scene mode when the outdoor ambient temperature is higher than the fifth preset value, the temperature difference is less than the sixth preset value and the air conditioner is currently in the cooling mode. In this way, when the outdoor ambient temperature is high and indoor users need to cool down the indoor temperature, but the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is small, the indoor users' perceived temperature is high, the air conditioner's indoor cooling effect is difficult to achieve the expected effect, and the user's comfort experience is not good, the air conditioner is controlled to start executing the target scene mode, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the indoor ambient temperature.

[0127] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the control device of the air conditioner provided by the present invention. Figure 2 The control device of the air conditioner provided by the present invention is described. The control device of the air conditioner described below and the control method of the air conditioner provided by the present invention described above can be referred to each other. Figure 2As shown, the device includes: a first control module 201, a second control module 202 and a third control module 203.

[0128] The first control module 201 is used to control the air conditioner to operate with the first operating parameters in the cooling mode after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode.

[0129] The second control module 202 is used to control the air conditioner to operate with second operating parameters in the cooling mode when the air conditioner meets the first condition.

[0130] The third control module 203 is used to control the air conditioner to operate with the third operating parameters in the PMV mode when the air conditioner meets the second condition, until the air conditioner stops executing the target scene mode.

[0131] The operating parameters include: set temperature, wind speed, and the swing mode of the horizontal swing blades and the swing mode of the vertical swing blades in the air conditioner.

[0132] Specifically, the first control module 201 , the second control module 202 and the third control module 203 are electrically connected.

[0133] After the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode, it enters the first stage of executing the target scene mode. In the first stage of executing the target scene mode, the first control module 201 can control the air conditioner to operate with the first operating parameters in the cooling mode to achieve a rapid reduction in the indoor ambient temperature.

[0134] In the second stage of executing the target scene mode, the second control module 202 can control the air conditioner to operate with the second operating parameters in the cooling mode to prevent the indoor ambient temperature from continuing to decrease.

[0135] The third control module 203 can control the air conditioner to operate with the third operating parameters in the PMV mode when executing the third stage of the target scene mode, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioner while maintaining the indoor ambient temperature at a relatively suitable temperature.

[0136] Optionally, the second control module 202 can be specifically used to control the air conditioner to operate with second operating parameters in cooling mode when the cumulative time for the air conditioner to execute the target scene mode is greater than a first preset value and the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than a second preset value.

[0137] Optionally, the third control module 203 may be specifically configured to control the air conditioner to operate with third operating parameters in the PMV mode when the accumulated time for the air conditioner to operate with second operating parameters in the cooling mode is greater than a third preset value.

[0138] Optionally, the control device of the air conditioner may further include a fourth control module.

[0139] The fourth control module can be used to control the air conditioner to start executing the target scene mode when the outdoor ambient temperature is higher than the fifth preset value, the temperature difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the indoor ambient temperature is less than the sixth preset value, and the air conditioner is currently in the cooling mode.

[0140] The control device of the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention controls the air conditioner to operate with the first operating parameters in the cooling mode after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode, controls the air conditioner to operate with the second operating parameters in the cooling mode when the air conditioner meets the first condition, and controls the air conditioner to operate with the third operating parameters in the PMV mode when the air conditioner meets the second condition, until the air conditioner stops executing the target scene mode, wherein the operating parameters include the set temperature, wind speed, and the swinging mode of the horizontal and vertical swing blades in the air conditioner. The air conditioner can be controlled more flexibly during the execution of the target scene mode of the air conditioner, so as to further avoid the user's poor comfort experience caused by too low indoor temperature on the basis of lowering the indoor ambient temperature in a short time, reduce the user's manual operation, improve the user experience, and reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner, thereby better meeting the energy saving and environmental protection of the air conditioner.
