[0028] Energy conservation and emission reduction refer to reducing energy waste and lowering waste gas emissions. During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, my country plans to reduce energy consumption per unit of GDP by approximately 20% and reduce total emissions of major pollutants by 10%. This is an inevitable choice for building a resource-conserving and environmentally friendly society; it is the only way to promote economic restructuring and transform the growth model; and it is an inevitable requirement for safeguarding my country's long-term interests.

[0029] my country's rapid economic growth and remarkable achievements in various areas of development have come at a significant cost to resources and the environment. The contradiction between economic development and the environment is becoming increasingly acute, and public outcry over environmental pollution is strong. This situation is directly related to an irrational economic structure and extensive growth model. Without accelerating adjustments to the economic structure and transforming the growth model, resources will not be able to sustain the economy, the environment will not be able to accommodate it, and society will not be able to bear the burden, making economic development unsustainable. Only by adhering to efficient, clean, and safe development can we achieve both sound and rapid economic development. At the same time, greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to global warming, have attracted widespread international attention. Further strengthening energy conservation and emission reduction efforts is also imperative to addressing global climate change.

[0030] Air conditioners, a major consumer of electricity in daily life both summer and winter, consume a significant amount of energy each year. Related technologies have significantly reduced energy consumption by improving air conditioner energy efficiency and using variable-frequency compressors to increase power utilization. However, proper control of air conditioners during operation can further reduce energy consumption, contributing to energy conservation and emission reduction goals.

[0031] The air conditioner control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner control method, which may include the following steps 101 and 102:

[0033] Step 101: When an air conditioner is running, obtain the ambient temperature of the environment in which the air conditioner is located and the carbon dioxide concentration of the environment in which the air conditioner is located in real time.

[0034] For example, in order to monitor and obtain parameters such as the ambient temperature and carbon dioxide concentration of the environment in which the air conditioner is located (usually indoors) in real time, it is necessary to set up sensors on the air conditioner, or to link it with other smart devices that can monitor the environment to obtain the above-mentioned ambient temperature and carbon dioxide concentration through other smart devices.

[0035] For example, the air conditioner may obtain the ambient temperature and carbon dioxide concentration of the environment in which the air conditioner is located, which are collected by the sensor according to a preset period.

[0036] It is understandable that carbon dioxide, as a metabolic product of human breathing, can, to a certain extent, reflect the number of people in the environment where the air conditioner is located, or the human body's adaptation to temperature.

[0037] It's understandable that ambient temperature has a certain impact on a person's respiratory rate. For every 1°C increase in ambient temperature, the respiratory rate increases by approximately 4 breaths per minute. This means that when the human body senses heat, it breathes faster, removing some of the body heat through breathing and thus balancing its temperature. While air conditioning doesn't significantly increase indoor carbon dioxide concentration, it can significantly increase indoor carbon dioxide concentration if there are many people indoors, or if the high ambient temperature causes the people inside to breathe more frequently.

[0038] Step 102: Adjust the operating power of the compressor of the air conditioner and / or the working mode of the air conditioner according to the ambient temperature and / or the carbon dioxide concentration.

[0039] For example, the air conditioner can adjust its adjustment plan based on the real-time ambient temperature and / or carbon dioxide concentration, so that the ambient temperature is always in a relatively comfortable state, avoiding overcooling or overheating, and improving the utilization rate of electricity to a certain extent.

[0040] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, based on the above-mentioned ambient temperature and carbon dioxide concentration, the air conditioner can be controlled by the following method.

[0041] Exemplarily, the above step 102 may include the following steps 102a1 and 102a2:

[0042] Step 102a1: Determine the rate of change of the ambient temperature of the environment where the air conditioner is located within a preset time before the current time.

[0043] Step 102a2: When the rate of change of the ambient temperature is greater than a first rate threshold and the difference between the set temperature of the air conditioner and the current ambient temperature of the environment in which the air conditioner is located is less than or equal to the first temperature difference threshold, control the operating power of the compressor to reduce so that the rate of change of the ambient temperature is reduced to a second rate threshold.

[0044] The second rate threshold is smaller than the first rate threshold.

[0045] For example, the air conditioner may calculate the rate of change of the ambient temperature of the environment in which the air conditioner is located once every preset time interval. When the rate of change of the ambient temperature is fast, the operating power of the compressor may be appropriately reduced.

[0046] It's understandable that compressor power consumption increases as the compressor's operating power increases. Therefore, when the ambient temperature changes rapidly, it indicates that there are fewer people in the area, and a higher operating power level is not required to maintain cooling or heating. Furthermore, avoiding rapid changes in ambient temperature can also, to a certain extent, mitigate potential health risks to the user.

[0047] Illustratively, the above step 102 may further include the following steps 102b1 and 102b2:

[0048] Step 102b1: Determine the rate of change of the carbon dioxide concentration in the environment where the air conditioner is located within a preset time before the current time.

[0049] Step 102b2: When the rate of change of the carbon dioxide concentration is greater than a third rate threshold and the difference between the set temperature of the air conditioner and the current ambient temperature of the environment in which the air conditioner is located is greater than a second temperature difference threshold, control the operating power of the compressor to increase.

[0050] It should be noted that the third rate threshold and the first rate threshold and the second rate threshold are not thresholds of the same parameters. Therefore, the third rate threshold may be the same as or different from the first rate threshold or the second rate threshold.

[0051] For example, when the rate of change of the carbon dioxide concentration in the environment where the air conditioner is located is faster (usually increases faster), it means that there are more people in the current environment, or there are users exercising in the current environment, or the ambient temperature of the current environment is relatively high for the users in the current environment.

[0052] For example, based on the relationship between ambient temperature and human respiratory rate, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, if the rate of change of the carbon dioxide concentration in the air conditioner's environment is high, it means that the user in the current environment is feeling hot, there are many people in the current environment, or there are users exercising in the current environment. In this case, the operating power of the compressor needs to be increased to ensure cooling efficiency.

[0053] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, when referring to the set temperature of the air conditioner and the current ambient temperature, it is necessary to consider whether the current ambient temperature is close to the set temperature. If the current ambient temperature is already close to the set temperature, there is no need to make significant adjustments to the air conditioner. And, in any case, if the current ambient temperature is already close to the set temperature of the air conditioner (for example, the difference between the set temperature of the air conditioner and the current ambient temperature of the environment in which the air conditioner is located is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold), the compressor can be controlled to reduce the operating power.

[0054] It should be noted that the first temperature difference threshold and the second temperature difference threshold may be the same or different.

[0055] Illustratively, the above step 102 may further include the following steps 102c1 to 102c3:

[0056] Exemplarily, when the rate of change of the carbon dioxide concentration is greater than the third rate threshold, and the difference between the set temperature of the air conditioner and the current ambient temperature of the environment in which the air conditioner is located is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold:

[0057] Step 102c1: If the difference between the current ambient temperature and the outdoor temperature is less than or equal to a third temperature difference threshold, the operating power of the compressor is controlled to be reduced, and the air circulation mode of the air conditioner is turned on to send the outdoor air into the room after filtering.

[0058] Step 102c2: If the difference between the current ambient temperature and the outdoor temperature is greater than the third temperature difference threshold and less than or equal to the fourth temperature difference threshold, the operating power of the compressor is kept unchanged, and the air circulation mode of the air conditioner is turned on to send the outdoor air into the room after filtering.

[0059] Step 102c3: If the difference between the current ambient temperature and the outdoor temperature is greater than the fourth temperature difference threshold, the operating power of the compressor is controlled to increase, and the air circulation mode of the air conditioner is turned on to send the outdoor air into the room after filtering.

[0060] Wherein, the fourth temperature difference threshold is greater than the third temperature difference threshold.

[0061] For example, if the carbon dioxide concentration in the air conditioner's environment changes rapidly and the set temperature is close to the current ambient temperature, simply increasing the compressor's operating power may cause the current ambient temperature to change too much, or even significantly exceed the set temperature, resulting in a poor user experience. In this case, the air conditioner needs to be controlled based on the indoor and outdoor temperature differences:

[0062] If the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is small, the operating power of the compressor can be reduced, and the air circulation mode of the air conditioner can be turned on to send the outdoor air into the room after filtering; if the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is moderate, the operating power of the compressor can be kept unchanged, and the outdoor air can be sent into the room after filtering while ensuring cooling or heating; if the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, the operating power of the compressor needs to be increased, and the outdoor air can be sent into the room after filtering while ensuring cooling or heating to reduce the indoor carbon dioxide concentration.

[0063] The air conditioner control method provided in the embodiment of the present application reduces the power consumption of the air conditioner by reasonably controlling the air conditioner during use of the air conditioner based on parameters such as the ambient temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, set temperature, and indoor and outdoor temperature difference of the air conditioner's environment, thereby achieving the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0064] It should be noted that the air conditioner control method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed by an air conditioner control device, or a control module in the air conditioner control device for executing the air conditioner control method. In the embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner control device provided in the embodiments of the present application is described by taking the execution of the air conditioner control method by the air conditioner control device as an example.
