[0060] Air conditioner outdoor units are suspended outdoors, and due to harsh outdoor conditions, they are significantly affected. During the rainy and snowy season, the outdoor unit is hit by rain and snow, and in the sweltering summer, it is exposed to high temperatures and direct sunlight, both of which affect the air conditioner's cooling and heating performance.

[0061] Please refer to the control system for the linkage between the outdoor grille and the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2 It includes an indoor air conditioning unit, an outdoor air conditioning unit 100, an outdoor grille 110, an electric sliding assembly 120, and a controller 130.

[0062] An air conditioner indoor unit is designed to be installed indoors to provide users with cool or warm air. The indoor unit includes a first temperature sensor that acquires the ambient indoor temperature. Simultaneously, users can set the target indoor temperature (set temperature) via remote control, touch buttons, or a touchscreen.

[0063] The outdoor unit 100 is suitable for installation outdoors and can be fixedly connected to an outdoor wall or other supporting structure. The outdoor unit 100 is connected to the indoor unit via pipes to achieve indoor cooling or heating. It should be noted that the outdoor unit 100 includes a second temperature sensor, which is used to obtain the outdoor ambient temperature, i.e., the outdoor temperature. The outdoor unit can adjust its cooling or heating power according to the outdoor temperature to ensure a stable indoor temperature.

[0064] The outdoor grille 110 has a box structure, and a receiving groove adapted to the outdoor unit 100 is formed inside the box structure. An outlet 112 connected to the receiving groove is formed on one side of the outdoor grille 110. The outdoor grille 110 can be installed on the outside of the outdoor unit 100 along the outlet 112, or it can be installed away from the outdoor unit 100 along the outlet 112.

[0065] The electric sliding assembly 120 is suitable for connection to an outdoor wall, and the outdoor grille 110 is connected to the electric sliding assembly 120. The electric sliding assembly 120 is used to adjust the position of the outdoor grille 110.

[0066] The controller 130 can be an independent electronic control module or an electronic control module built into the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner. The controller 130 is configured to adjust the positional relationship between the outdoor grille 110 and the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner based on the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature and set temperature.

[0067] When the outdoor unit of an air conditioner is installed outdoors, there are two types of interference factors:

[0068] Firstly, outdoor conditions are relatively harsh. During the rainy and snowy season, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is hit by rain and snow. In the hot summer, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is exposed to high temperatures and direct sunlight. The external environment will affect the cooling and heating effect of the air conditioner. The outdoor unit 100 can be shielded by setting up an outdoor grille 110.

[0069] Secondly, in cooling mode, the air conditioner grille 110 covers the outside of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, which is not conducive to the heat dissipation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0070] According to relevant technologies, fixing the outdoor grille 110 to the outside of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 does not solve all the problems and may even bring new consequences.

[0071] According to the control system for the linkage between the outdoor grille and the air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the relative positions of the outdoor grille 110 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 can be adjusted according to the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature and set temperature. This not only solves the environmental impact on the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, but also adjusts the position of the outdoor grille 110 in the cooling mode to avoid affecting the air outlet efficiency of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0072] In some embodiments, the impact level of the outdoor grille 110 on the outdoor unit 100 can be determined based on the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, and set temperature, and then the position of the outdoor grille 110 can be adjusted. The position of the outdoor grille 110 includes an initial position, a first position, and a second position, etc.

[0073] In its initial position, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is completely located within the receiving slot of the outdoor grille 110, which can prevent the outdoor unit 100 from being affected by harsh environmental conditions.

[0074] In the first position, a portion (about half) of the outdoor unit 100 is located within the receiving groove of the outdoor grille 110. This not only prevents the outdoor unit 100 from being affected by harsh environmental conditions, but also reduces the impact of the outdoor grille 110 on the heat dissipation of the outdoor unit 100.

[0075] In the second position, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is completely outside the receiving slot of the outdoor grille 110. At this time, the external ambient temperature is high, and it is necessary to prioritize the heat dissipation of the outdoor unit 100.

[0076] It is understandable that the location of the outdoor grille 110 includes, but is not limited to, the above-mentioned locations, and multiple locations can be determined according to actual needs.

[0077] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the position adjustment of the outdoor grille 110 is achieved by means of an electric sliding assembly 120.

[0078] In some embodiments, the electric sliding assembly 120 includes a sliding guide rail 122 and an electric pulley 124. There are two sliding guide rails 122, which are connected to the outdoor wall and are arranged in parallel on both sides of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0079] There are two sets of electric pulleys 124, each set connected to one of the two sliding guide rails 122 and to the outdoor grille 110. By controlling the movement of the electric pulleys 124, the positional relationship between the outdoor grille 110 and the outdoor unit 100 can be adjusted.

[0080] It should be noted that the two sets of electric pulleys 124 are driving wheels, and the electric sliding assembly 120 also includes multiple sets of driven wheels. The driven wheels are connected to the outdoor grille 110 and the sliding guide rail 122, which increases the stability of the outdoor grille 110 when it moves.

[0081] The outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is located outdoors, and in the cold winter, it faces the risk of frost and ice formation, which seriously affects the heating capacity of the outdoor unit 100.

[0082] In some embodiments, the control system linking the outdoor grille and the air conditioner further includes a heating element (not shown), which is connected to the outdoor grille 110 and disposed within a receiving groove. The heating element is electrically connected to the controller 130, which can adjust the heating power of the heating element according to the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, and set temperature to ensure efficient heating of the outdoor unit 100.

[0083] Please refer to the control method for linking outdoor grilles and air conditioners according to embodiments of the present invention. Figure 1 ,include:

[0084] S200: Obtain indoor temperature, set temperature, and outdoor temperature.

[0085] S210. Adjust the relative position between the outdoor grille and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the indoor temperature, the set temperature and the outdoor temperature.

[0086] It is understood that the control method for linking the outdoor grille and the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present invention can adjust the relative position of the outdoor grille 110 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 according to the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature and set temperature. This not only solves the environmental impact on the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, but also adjusts the position of the outdoor grille 110 in the cooling mode to avoid affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and improve the performance of the air conditioner.

[0087] In some embodiments, the step of adjusting the relative position between the outdoor grille and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner based on the indoor temperature, the set temperature, and the outdoor temperature specifically includes:

[0088] S211. Determine the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature.

[0089] S212. When the temperature difference is less than the first temperature threshold and the outdoor temperature is less than the high temperature threshold, control the outdoor grille to be in the initial position.

[0090] S213. When the temperature difference is less than the first temperature threshold and the outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the high temperature threshold, the outdoor grille is controlled to be in the first position.

[0091] S214. When the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, and the outdoor temperature is less than the high temperature threshold, the outdoor grille is controlled to be located in the first position.

[0092] S215. When the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, and the outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the high temperature threshold, the outdoor grille is controlled to be located in the second position.

[0093] S216. When the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold, control the outdoor grille to be in the second position.

[0094] Understandably, the impact level of the outdoor grille 110 on the outdoor unit 100 can be determined based on the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, and set temperature, and then the position of the outdoor grille 110 can be adjusted. The position of the outdoor grille 110 includes an initial position, a first position, and a second position.

[0095] In its initial position, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is completely located within the receiving slot of the outdoor grille 110, which can prevent the outdoor unit 100 from being affected by harsh environmental conditions.

[0096] In the first position, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is partially located in the receiving groove of the outdoor grille 110, which can not only prevent the outdoor unit 100 from being interfered with by the harsh environment, but also reduce the impact of the outdoor grille 110 on the heat dissipation of the outdoor unit 100.

[0097] In the second position, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is completely outside the receiving slot of the outdoor grille 110. At this time, the external ambient temperature is high, and it is necessary to prioritize the heat dissipation of the outdoor unit 100.

[0098] The locations of the outdoor grille 110 include, but are not limited to, the above-mentioned locations, and multiple locations can be determined according to actual needs.

[0099] It should be noted that the first temperature threshold, the second temperature threshold, and the high temperature threshold can be set as needed or determined based on long-term usage experience. For example, the first temperature threshold can be 3℃, the second temperature threshold can be 5℃, and the high temperature threshold can be 50℃.

[0100] When the temperature difference is less than 3℃, the difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature is small, and the user's comfort is acceptable. When the outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the high-temperature threshold, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 has difficulty dissipating heat, so it is necessary to adjust the position of the outdoor grille 110 to reduce its impact on the heat dissipation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. When the outdoor temperature is less than the high-temperature threshold, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 dissipates heat smoothly, so it is not necessary to adjust the position of the outdoor grille 110.

[0101] The temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature (indoor temperature minus set temperature) determines the user's real-time experience. The greater the temperature difference, the higher the room temperature and the worse the user experience. Therefore, it is necessary to speed up the heat dissipation of the outdoor unit 100, that is, reduce the interference of the outdoor grille 110 on the outdoor unit 100 and increase the distance between the outdoor grille 110 and the outdoor unit 100.

[0102] In addition, considering the influence of outdoor temperature, when the outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the high temperature threshold, the heat dissipation of the outdoor unit 100 is more difficult, and it is necessary to further increase the distance between the outdoor grille 110 and the outdoor unit 100; when the outdoor temperature is less than the high temperature threshold, the heat dissipation of the outdoor unit 100 is smoother, and the distance between the outdoor grille 110 and the outdoor unit 100 depends on the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature.

[0103] Similarly, the distance between the outdoor grille 110 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 is affected by the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature, as well as the outdoor temperature. Adjusting the relative position between the outdoor grille 110 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 according to different situations can not only prevent the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 from being interfered with by the harsh environment, but also reduce the impact of the outdoor grille 110 on the heat dissipation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0104] In some embodiments, after acquiring the indoor temperature, a set temperature, and an outdoor temperature, the method further includes:

[0105] S220. Adjust the heating power of the heating element according to the indoor temperature, the set temperature and the outdoor temperature.

[0106] Understandably, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is located outdoors and faces the risk of frost and ice buildup in cold winters, severely affecting its heating capacity. The control system linking the outdoor grille and the air conditioner also includes a heating element, which is connected to the outdoor grille 110 and housed within a receiving slot. The heating element is electrically connected to the controller 130, which can adjust the heating power of the heating element based on the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, and set temperature to ensure efficient heating of the outdoor unit 100.

[0107] Improving the temperature inside the outdoor grille 110 by using heating elements helps improve the heating capacity of the outdoor unit 100, thereby ensuring a stable and comfortable indoor temperature.

[0108] In some embodiments, the step of adjusting the heating power of the heating element according to the indoor temperature, the set temperature, and the outdoor temperature specifically includes:

[0109] S221. Determine the temperature difference between the set temperature and the indoor temperature.

[0110] S222. When the temperature difference is less than the first temperature threshold and the outdoor temperature is less than the low temperature threshold, control the heating element to operate at the first heating power.

[0111] S223. When the temperature difference is less than the first temperature threshold and the outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the low temperature threshold, the heating element does not operate.

[0112] S224. When the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, and the outdoor temperature is less than the low temperature threshold, the heating element is controlled to operate at the first heating power.

[0113] S225. When the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, and the outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the low temperature threshold, the heating element does not operate.

[0114] S226. When the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold and the outdoor temperature is less than the low temperature threshold, control the heating element to operate at the second heating power.

[0115] S227. When the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold and the outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the low temperature threshold, control the heating element to operate at the first heating power.

[0116] Understandably, in heating mode, the set temperature is higher and the indoor temperature is lower. The smaller the temperature difference between the set temperature and the indoor temperature, the higher the user's comfort level, and the warmer the room, resulting in a lower heating demand from the air conditioner. Conversely, the greater the temperature difference between the set temperature and the indoor temperature, the lower the user's comfort level, and the colder the room, resulting in a higher heating demand from the air conditioner.

[0117] Meanwhile, when the outdoor temperature is high, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner heats up more smoothly; when the outdoor temperature is low, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner has more difficulty heating up.

[0118] As mentioned above, the heating capacity of the outdoor unit 100 is affected by both the temperature difference between the set temperature and the indoor temperature, and the outdoor temperature. The greater the temperature difference between the set temperature and the indoor temperature, the higher the heating demand of the outdoor unit 100, requiring an increase in the heating power of the heating elements. Conversely, the lower the outdoor temperature, the more difficult it is for the outdoor unit to heat up, necessitating an increase in the heating power of the heating elements.

[0119] It should be noted that the first temperature threshold, the second temperature threshold, and the high temperature threshold can be set as needed or determined based on long-term usage experience. For example, the first temperature threshold can be 3℃, the second temperature threshold can be 5℃, and the low temperature threshold can be 5℃.

[0120] The control device provided according to the third aspect embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 ,include:

[0121] The acquisition module 310 is used to acquire the indoor temperature, the set temperature, and the outdoor temperature.

[0122] The control module 320 is used to adjust the relative position between the outdoor grille and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the indoor temperature, the set temperature and the outdoor temperature.

[0123] In some embodiments, the control module 320 is further configured to adjust the heating power of the heating element according to the indoor temperature, the set temperature and the outdoor temperature.

[0124] For an electronic device provided according to a fourth aspect embodiment of the present invention, please refer to... Figure 4The electronic device may include a processor 810, a communication interface 820, a memory 830, and a communication bus 840, wherein the processor 810, the communication interface 820, and the memory 830 communicate with each other via the communication bus 840. The processor 810 can call logic instructions in the memory 830 to execute a control method for linking the outdoor grille with the air conditioner. This method includes: acquiring the indoor temperature, a set temperature, and the outdoor temperature; and adjusting the relative position between the outdoor grille and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner based on the indoor temperature, the set temperature, and the outdoor temperature.
