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 any creative work.

[0053] Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the present invention;

[0054] Figure 2 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a control device for an air conditioner provided by the present invention;

[0055] Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of the electronic device provided by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0058] It should be noted that indoor exercise has become an indispensable form of exercise in modern life. People exercise in the gym or at home, such as lifting dumbbells, doing push-ups, sit-ups or aerobics, to exercise their bodies and relieve stress from work and life.

[0059] When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, if the user exercises indoors, the user will generate more heat in the early stage of exercise and the body surface temperature will rise quickly. At this time, the air conditioner needs to lower the indoor ambient temperature in a short time to prevent the user from feeling overheated; as the exercise progresses, the heat generated by the user gradually stabilizes and the change in body surface temperature also tends to stabilize. At this time, the air conditioner needs to stabilize the indoor ambient temperature to a suitable temperature; in the later stage of exercise, the amount of exercise decreases, and because the user's body surface temperature is high at this time, if the air conditioner has a large cooling capacity or the air conditioner blows directly on the people indoors, it is easy for the user to catch a cold. At this time, the air conditioner needs to stabilize the ambient temperature to a suitable temperature and prevent the air outlet of the air conditioner from blowing directly on the user.

[0060] When the air conditioner is in heating mode, if the user exercises indoors, the user will generate more heat in the early stage of exercise and the body surface temperature will rise quickly. At this time, the indoor temperature is too low, which can easily cause the user to catch a cold. The air conditioner needs to increase the indoor temperature in a short time. As the exercise progresses, the heat generated by the user gradually stabilizes, and the change in body surface temperature also tends to stabilize. At this time, the air conditioner needs to stabilize the indoor temperature to a suitable temperature to avoid overheating of the user.

[0061] Generally speaking, 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 is executing 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 is executing the "active sports scene mode (cooling)", it can quickly lower the indoor ambient temperature when people indoors exercise in summer.

[0062] Traditional air conditioners have a single control mode within a specific scene mode. This means that when a traditional air conditioner executes a scene mode, its operating parameters, including set temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and operating mode, are fixed. For example, when a traditional air conditioner executes the "Active Sports Scene Mode (Cooling)", it operates in cooling mode with a set temperature of 18°C, high wind speed, and automatic left and right and up and down swings to ensure the indoor ambient temperature is quickly lowered.

[0063] However, conventional air conditioners can usually lower the indoor ambient temperature to a suitable temperature within a short period of time after starting to execute the "Active Sports Scene Mode (Cooling)". As the indoor ambient temperature decreases, the user's perceived temperature also decreases. If the conventional air conditioner continues to cool with fixed operating parameters such as the set temperature, wind speed, and wind direction, the indoor ambient temperature will be further lowered, causing the user's perceived temperature to be too low, which can easily cause the user to catch a cold and provide a poor user comfort experience. If the user feels too cold when the air conditioner executes the "Active Sports Scene Mode (Cooling)", the user will have to manually switch the air conditioner's scene mode again, which is cumbersome for the user to operate and provides a poor user experience. Conventional air conditioners can usually raise the indoor ambient temperature to a suitable temperature within a short period of time after starting to execute the "Active Sports Scene Mode (Heating)". As the indoor ambient temperature increases, the user's perceived temperature also increases. If the conventional air conditioner continues to heat with fixed operating parameters such as the set temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and operating mode, and the people indoors are exercising, the user's perceived temperature will be too high, resulting in a poor user comfort experience. If the user feels overheated when the air conditioner is executing the "active sports scene mode (heating)", the user will have to manually switch the scene mode of the air conditioner again, which is cumbersome for the user to operate and the user experience is not good.

[0064] In addition, traditional air conditioners consume a lot of energy when executing the "active sports scene mode (cooling / heating)", which makes it difficult to meet the energy-saving and environmental protection needs of air conditioners.

[0065] To this end, 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, the air conditioner can be more flexibly controlled when the air conditioner is executing the "Active Sports Scene Mode (Cooling / Heating)", thereby further avoiding the user's poor comfort experience caused by the indoor ambient temperature being too low or too high when the air conditioner is executing the "Active Sports Scene Mode (Cooling / Heating)", reducing the user's manual operation, improving user perception, and reducing the air conditioner's energy consumption.

[0066] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the control method of the air conditioner provided by the present invention. Figure 1The control method of the air conditioner of the present invention is described. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: step 101, when the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode, obtaining the operating mode of the air conditioner.

[0067] It should be noted that the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention is a control device of an air conditioner.

[0068] Specifically, the target scene mode may be the aforementioned “active sports scene mode”.

[0069] The air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention can be used to adjust the indoor ambient temperature.

[0070] Typically, users can control the air conditioner to execute desired scene modes and operating modes based on actual needs. User control of the air conditioner can be based on control commands input by the user. For example, a controller in the air conditioner can receive a first control command input by the user and, in response to the first control command, activate the compressor in the air conditioner for cooling; or, the controller can receive a second control command input by the user and, in response to the second control command, control the air conditioner to execute a target scene mode.

[0071] It should be noted that user input can be expressed as touch input on the target interface, which may include but is not limited to click input, sliding input, and press input. User input can also be expressed as physical button input. User input can also be expressed as voice input. The target interface can be the display interface of the user terminal or the control interface of the air conditioner. The physical button can be located on the air conditioner body or on an external controller of the air conditioner.

[0072] It is understood that the above-mentioned inputs are exemplary examples, that is, the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to the above-mentioned inputs. In actual implementation, the user input may also include any other possible inputs, which can be determined according to actual use requirements and are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0073] In embodiments of the present invention, when an air conditioner begins executing a target scene mode, the operating mode of the air conditioner can be obtained in a variety of ways. For example, the operating mode of the air conditioner can be obtained by detecting a control instruction received by the air conditioner controller, or the operating mode of the air conditioner can be obtained based on the operating status of the air conditioner compressor. The operating modes of the air conditioner include cooling mode and heating mode.

[0074] Step 102: When the operating mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode, control the air conditioner to execute the first operating parameter, and obtain the indoor ambient temperature and the first accumulated time.

[0075] Among them, the operating parameters include: set temperature, wind speed, the swing mode of the horizontal swing blades and the swing mode of the vertical swing blades in the air conditioner; the first cumulative time is the cumulative time that the air conditioner executes the first operating parameter after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode.

[0076] After obtaining the operating mode of the air conditioner, if the operating mode of the air conditioner is cooling mode, in order to make the indoor ambient temperature suitable when the air conditioner executes the target scene mode and avoid excessive energy consumption of the air conditioner, the embodiment of the present invention divides the process of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode in cooling mode 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.

[0077] After the air conditioner starts executing the target scene mode in the cooling mode, it enters the first stage of executing the target scene mode in the cooling mode.

[0078] In the first stage of executing the target scene mode in the cooling mode, the air conditioner can be controlled to execute the first operating parameters to achieve a rapid reduction in the indoor ambient temperature.

[0079] 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 horizontally swinging blades and a second swing mode of the vertically swinging blades in the air conditioner. The first set temperature, first preset wind speed, first swing mode, and second swing mode may be determined based on prior knowledge and are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention. The swing modes of the horizontally swinging blades and the vertically swinging blades in the air conditioner are related to the airflow direction of the air conditioner.

[0080] Since the air conditioner starts to execute the first operating parameter, the indoor ambient temperature can be monitored, and the cumulative time for the air conditioner to execute the first operating parameter can be obtained as the first cumulative time.

[0081] It can be understood that the indoor ambient temperature and the first accumulated time vary dynamically over time.

[0082] Optionally, the embodiment of the present invention may obtain the indoor ambient temperature in various ways, for example, a temperature sensor may be used to obtain the indoor ambient temperature.

[0083] Step 103: When the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than the first preset value and the first cumulative time is not less than the second preset value, control the air conditioner to execute the second operating parameter and obtain the second cumulative time; the second cumulative time is the cumulative time the air conditioner executes the second operating parameter after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode.

[0084] Specifically, when the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than the first preset value and the first accumulated time is not less than the second preset value, it can be said that the indoor ambient temperature has dropped to a relatively low temperature, and the air conditioner ends the first stage of executing the target scene mode in the cooling mode and enters the second stage of executing the target scene mode in the cooling mode.

[0085] In the second stage of executing the target scene mode in the cooling mode, the air conditioner can be controlled to execute the second operating parameters to prevent the indoor ambient temperature from continuing to drop, thereby maintaining the indoor ambient temperature at a relatively suitable temperature.

[0086] It should be noted that the first preset value and the second preset value can be predetermined based on prior knowledge. In the embodiment of the present invention, there is no limitation on the specific values of the first preset value and the second preset value.

[0087] Optionally, the first preset value can range from 15 to 17°C, for example, the first preset value can be 15°C, 16°C or 17°C; the second preset value can range from 2 to 4 minutes, for example, the second preset value can be 2 minutes, 3 minutes or 4 minutes.

[0088] Preferably, the first preset value may be 16° C.; the second preset value may be 3 minutes.

[0089] It should be noted that the second operating parameter may include: a second set temperature, a second preset wind speed, and a third swing mode of the horizontally swinging blades and a fourth swing mode of the vertically swinging blades in the air conditioner. The second set temperature, second preset wind speed, third swing mode, and fourth swing mode may be determined based on prior knowledge and are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0090] Since the air conditioner starts to execute the second operating parameter, the accumulated time length for the air conditioner to execute the second operating parameter may be obtained as the second accumulated time length.

[0091] It can be understood that the second accumulated duration changes dynamically over time.

[0092] Step 104: When the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than the third preset value and the second accumulated time is not less than the fourth preset value, control the operating mode of the air conditioner to change from the cooling mode to the PMV mode, and control the air conditioner to execute the third operating parameter in the PMV mode until the air conditioner stops executing the target scene mode.

[0093] Specifically, if the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than the third preset value and the second accumulated time is not less than the fourth preset value, it can be indicated that the indoor ambient temperature has stabilized to a relatively suitable temperature, and the air conditioner ends the second stage of executing the target scene mode in the cooling mode and enters the third stage of executing the target scene mode in the cooling mode. The air conditioner continues to execute the target scene mode in the third stage in the cooling mode until the air conditioner stops executing the target scene mode.

[0094] By executing the third stage of the target scene mode in the cooling mode, the operating mode of the air conditioner can be controlled to change from the cooling mode to the PMV mode, and the air conditioner can be controlled to execute the third operating parameter in the PMV mode, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner while maintaining the indoor ambient temperature at a relatively suitable temperature.

[0095] 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 body's heat load, the further the body deviates from the state of thermal comfort, and the smaller the body's heat load, that is, the greater the positive value of the body's heat load, the hotter the person feels, and the greater the negative value, the colder the person feels.

[0096] The air conditioner's PMV mode is an intelligent human comfort control mode. When operating in PMV mode, the air conditioner uses prior knowledge and sensor-generated data such as indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, and wind speed to develop an optimal comfort solution. This allows for dynamic and precise control of the indoor temperature based on this comfort solution. Furthermore, PMV mode is more energy-efficient, better meeting energy-saving and environmental protection requirements.

[0097] It should be noted that the third preset value and the fourth preset value can be predetermined based on prior knowledge. In the embodiment of the present invention, there is no limitation on the specific values of the third preset value and the fourth preset value.

[0098] Optionally, the third preset value can range from 23 to 25°C, for example, the first preset value can be 23°C, 24°C or 25°C; the fourth preset value can range from 8 to 12 minutes, for example, the fourth preset value can be 8 minutes, 10 minutes or 12 minutes.

[0099] Preferably, the third preset value may be 24° C.; and the fourth preset value may be 10 minutes.

[0100] It should be noted that the third operating parameter may include: a third set temperature, a third preset wind speed, and a fifth swing mode of the horizontally swinging blades and a sixth swing mode of the vertically swinging blades in the air conditioner. The third set temperature, third preset wind speed, fifth swing mode, and sixth swing mode may be determined based on prior knowledge and are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode and the operating mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the first operating parameter and obtain the indoor ambient temperature and the first cumulative time. When the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than the first preset value and the first cumulative time is not less than the second preset value, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the second operating parameter. When the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than the third preset value and the second cumulative time is not less than the fourth preset value, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the third operating parameter in the PMV mode until the air conditioner stops executing the target scene mode. The operating parameters include the set temperature, wind speed, and the horizontal and vertical swing blades in the air conditioner. The swing mode, the first cumulative time is the cumulative time of the air conditioner executing the first operating parameter after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode, and the second cumulative time is the cumulative time of the air conditioner executing the second operating parameter after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode. In the process of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode for cooling, the air conditioner can be controlled more flexibly, so as to further avoid the user's 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, so as to better meet the energy-saving and environmental protection needs of the air conditioner.

[0102] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, when the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode, after obtaining the operating mode of the air conditioner, it also includes: step 21, when the operating mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, controlling the air conditioner to execute the fourth operating parameter, controlling the air conditioner to turn on the auxiliary heating function, and obtaining the indoor ambient temperature and the third cumulative time; the third cumulative time is the cumulative time of the air conditioner executing the fourth operating parameter this time after the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode.

[0103] After obtaining the operating mode of the air conditioner, if the operating mode of the air conditioner is heating mode, in order to make the indoor ambient temperature suitable when the air conditioner executes the target scene mode and avoid excessive energy consumption of the air conditioner, the embodiment of the present invention divides the process of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode in heating mode into two stages.

[0104] After the air conditioner starts executing the target scene mode in the heating mode, it enters the first stage of executing the target scene mode in the heating mode.

[0105] In the first stage of executing the target scene mode in the heating mode, the air conditioner can be controlled to start the auxiliary heating function and execute the fourth operating parameter to achieve a rapid increase in the indoor ambient temperature.

[0106] PTC stands for Positive Temperature Coefficient and generally refers to semiconductor materials or components with a high positive temperature coefficient, often referred to as PTC thermistors. As the ambient temperature decreases, the resistance of a PTC thermistor decreases, and its heat generation increases accordingly.

[0107] The air conditioner's auxiliary heating function works on this principle, utilizing PTC electric auxiliary heating technology to achieve rapid and powerful heating. Generally speaking, cold weather can severely impact an air conditioner's heating performance. However, the auxiliary heating function can regulate and assist the air conditioner's heating output, effectively overcoming the effects of cold weather on heating performance, making it ideal for use in extremely cold regions.

[0108] It should be noted that the fourth operating parameter may include: a fourth set temperature, a fourth preset wind speed, and the seventh swing mode of the horizontal swing blades and the eighth swing mode of the vertical swing blades in the air conditioner. The fourth set temperature, fourth preset wind speed, seventh swing mode, and eighth swing mode may be determined based on prior knowledge and are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0109] After the air conditioner begins executing the fourth operating parameter, the indoor ambient temperature can be monitored, and the cumulative duration of the air conditioner executing the fourth operating parameter can be obtained as the third cumulative duration. The air conditioner can execute the fourth operating parameter multiple times based on actual circumstances. The air conditioner continuously executing the fourth operating parameter for a period of time can be considered as executing the fourth operating parameter once.

[0110] It can be understood that the indoor ambient temperature and the third accumulated time vary dynamically over time.

[0111] Step 22 : When the indoor ambient temperature is not less than the fifth preset value and the third accumulated time is not less than the sixth preset value, control the air conditioner to turn off the auxiliary heating function, control the air conditioner to execute the fifth operating parameter, and obtain the fourth accumulated time.

[0112] The fourth accumulated duration is the accumulated duration of the air conditioner executing the fifth operating parameter after the air conditioner starts executing the target scene mode.

[0113] Specifically, when the indoor ambient temperature is not less than the fifth preset value and the third accumulated time is not less than the sixth preset value, it can be said that the indoor ambient temperature has risen to a relatively suitable temperature, and the air conditioner ends the first stage of executing the target scene mode in the heating mode and enters the second stage of executing the target scene mode in the heating mode.

[0114] When executing the second stage of the target scene mode in the heating mode, the air conditioner can be controlled to turn off the auxiliary heating function and execute the fourth operating parameter to prevent the indoor ambient temperature from continuing to rise and maintain the indoor ambient temperature at a relatively suitable temperature.

[0115] It should be noted that the fifth preset value and the sixth preset value can be predetermined based on prior knowledge. In the embodiment of the present invention, there is no limitation on the specific values of the fifth preset value and the sixth preset value.

[0116] Optionally, the fifth preset value can range from 20 to 22°C, for example, the first preset value can be 20°C, 21°C or 22°C; the sixth preset value can range from 2 to 4 minutes, for example, the second preset value can be 2 minutes, 3 minutes or 4 minutes.

[0117] Preferably, the fifth preset value may be 21° C.; and the sixth preset value may be 3 minutes.

[0118] It should be noted that the fifth operating parameter may include: a fifth set temperature, a fifth preset wind speed, and a ninth swing mode for the horizontal blades and a tenth swing mode for the vertical blades of the air conditioner. The fifth set temperature, the fifth preset wind speed, the ninth swing mode, and the tenth swing mode may be determined based on prior knowledge and are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0119] Since the air conditioner starts to execute the fifth operating parameter this time, the accumulated time of the air conditioner executing the fifth operating parameter this time can be obtained as the fourth accumulated time. The air conditioner can execute the fifth operating parameter multiple times according to actual conditions.

[0120] It can be understood that the fourth cumulative duration changes dynamically over time.

[0121] Step 23 : When the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than the seventh preset value and the fourth accumulated time is not less than the eighth preset value, repeat steps 21 and 22 until the air conditioner stops executing the target scene mode.

[0122] Specifically, when the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than the seventh preset value and the fourth accumulated time is not less than the eighth preset value, it can be said that the indoor ambient temperature is relatively low and the air conditioner needs to increase the indoor ambient temperature. The second stage of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode in the heating mode ends and re-enters the first stage of executing the target scene mode in the heating mode, and repeats steps 21 and 22 until the air conditioner stops executing the target scene mode.

[0123] It should be noted that the seventh preset value and the eighth preset value can be predetermined based on prior knowledge. In the embodiment of the present invention, there is no limitation on the specific values of the seventh preset value and the eighth preset value.

[0124] Optionally, the value range of the seventh preset value can be between 20 and 22°C, for example, the seventh preset value can be 20°C, 21°C or 22°C; the value range of the eighth preset value can be between 13 and 17 minutes, for example, the eighth preset value can be 13 minutes, 15 minutes or 17 minutes.

[0125] Preferably, the seventh preset value may be 21° C.; and the eighth preset value may be 15 minutes.

[0126] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the air conditioner starts to execute a target scene mode and the operating mode of the air conditioner is heating mode, the air conditioner is controlled to start the auxiliary heating function and execute the fourth operating parameter, and obtain the indoor ambient temperature and the third accumulated time. When the indoor ambient temperature is not less than a fifth preset value and the third accumulated time is not less than a sixth preset value, the air conditioner is controlled to stop the auxiliary heating function and execute the sixth operating parameter, and obtain the fourth accumulated time. When the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than a seventh preset value and the fourth accumulated time is not less than an eighth preset value, the above control process is repeated until the air conditioner stops executing the target scene mode. The third accumulated time is the accumulated time the air conditioner has executed the fourth operating parameter this time since the air conditioner started to execute the target scene mode, and the fourth accumulated time is the accumulated time the air conditioner has executed the fifth operating parameter this time since the air conditioner started to execute the target scene mode. This allows for more flexible control of the air conditioner during the heating process of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode, thereby achieving a short-term increase in the indoor ambient temperature and further preventing a poor user comfort experience caused by excessively high indoor temperature. This reduces manual operations of the user, improves user experience, and reduces energy consumption of the air conditioner, thereby better meeting energy conservation and environmental protection requirements of the air conditioner.

[0127] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, controlling the air conditioner to execute the first operating parameter includes: controlling the air conditioner to execute the first set temperature and the first preset wind speed, controlling the vertical swing blade to swing in the first direction or the second direction until the angle between the vertical plane and the vertical plane is a first preset angle, and controlling the horizontal swing blade to swing until the angle between the horizontal plane and the horizontal plane is 0°;

[0128] The first set temperature ranges from 15°C to 17°C;

[0129] The first preset wind speed is the maximum wind speed that the air conditioner can provide;

[0130] The value range of the first preset angle is between 40° and 50°;

[0131] The first direction and the second direction are two directions parallel to and opposite to the body of the air conditioner; and the vertical plane is a plane perpendicular to the plane where the body is located.

[0132] Specifically, the first operating parameter may be determined based on prior knowledge.

[0133] It should be noted that the first preset wind speed may be the maximum wind speed that the air conditioner can provide, which is usually called strong wind.

[0134] It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction are two directions parallel to and opposite to the body of the air conditioner. For example, the first direction may be the left direction along the body, and the second direction may be the right direction along the body.

[0135] Preferably, the first set temperature may be 16°C.

[0136] Preferably, the first preset angle may be 45°.

[0137] Accordingly, when the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode, if the operating mode of the air conditioner is cooling mode, the air conditioner can be controlled to execute the set temperature of 16°C and strong wind, and the vertical swing blades in the air conditioner can be controlled to swing to the left or right to an angle of 45° with the vertical plane, and the horizontal swing blades in the air conditioner can also be controlled to swing to an angle of 0° with the horizontal plane.

[0138] The embodiment of the present invention controls the air conditioner to execute the first set temperature and the first preset wind speed when the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode for cooling, controls the vertical swing blades to swing in the first direction or the second direction to the angle between the blades and the vertical plane is the first preset angle, and controls the horizontal swing blades to swing to the angle between the blades and the horizontal plane is 0°. In this way, the air conditioner can be controlled more accurately and efficiently to quickly reduce the indoor ambient temperature when the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode for cooling.

[0139] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, controlling the air conditioner to execute the second operating parameter includes: controlling the air conditioner to execute the second set temperature and the second preset wind speed, controlling the vertical swing blade to swing back and forth at a constant speed between a maximum angle in the first direction and a maximum angle in the second direction, and controlling the horizontal swing blade to swing to an angle greater than 0° with the horizontal plane;

[0140] The second set temperature ranges from 23°C to 25°C;

[0141] The second preset wind speed is lower than the first preset wind speed.

[0142] Specifically, the second operating parameter may be determined based on prior knowledge.

[0143] Optionally, the air conditioner may include multiple wind speed levels. The second preset wind speed may be the same as the wind speed when the air conditioner is at a median wind speed level. For example, if the air conditioner includes five wind speed levels, the wind speed of the air outlet of the air conditioner increases as the wind speed level increases from low to high. The second preset wind speed may be the same as the wind speed when the air conditioner is at the third wind speed level.

[0144] Optionally, the second preset wind speed may also be the same as the wind speed of the automatic wind preset by the air conditioner.

[0145] Preferably, the second set temperature may be 24°C.

[0146] It should be noted that controlling the swing blade to swing to an angle greater than 0° with the horizontal plane can prevent the air outlet of the air conditioner from blowing directly onto the user.

[0147] It should be noted that when the vertical 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 conditioner is usually called left and right automatic swing.

[0148] Accordingly, when the air conditioner executes the first operating parameter, if the indoor ambient temperature is ≤16°C and the cumulative time for the air conditioner to execute the first operating parameter exceeds 3 minutes, the air conditioner can be controlled to execute the set temperature of 24°C, free wind, automatic left and right swing, and air outlet above the horizontal plane.

[0149] The embodiment of the present invention controls the air conditioner to execute the second set temperature and the second preset wind speed, controls the vertical swing blades to swing back and forth at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the first direction and the maximum angle in the second direction, and controls the horizontal swing blades to swing to an angle greater than 0° with the horizontal plane during the process of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode for cooling, and can control the air conditioner more accurately, efficiently and flexibly during the process of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode for cooling, thereby avoiding the indoor temperature being too low when the air conditioner executes the target scene mode, resulting in a poor user comfort experience, and avoiding the air conditioner blowing directly on the user.

[0150] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, controlling the air conditioner to execute the third operating parameter in the PMV mode includes: controlling the air conditioner to execute the PMV temperature and the third preset wind speed, controlling the vertical swing blade to swing back and forth at a constant speed between a maximum angle in the first direction and a maximum angle in the second direction, and controlling the horizontal swing blade to swing back and forth at a constant speed between a maximum angle in the vertical upward direction and a maximum angle in the vertical downward direction;

[0151] The PMV temperature is calculated by the PMV system in the air conditioner when the air conditioner is in PMV mode;

[0152] The third preset wind speed is lower than the second preset wind speed.

[0153] Specifically, the third operating parameter may be determined based on prior knowledge.

[0154] It should be noted that when the horizontal swing blades of the air conditioner swing back and forth at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the vertical upward direction and the maximum angle in the vertical downward direction, the wind direction of the air conditioner is usually called automatic up and down swinging.

[0155] It should be noted that the third preset wind speed is lower than the second preset wind speed, and the third preset wind speed may be the same as the low wind speed preset by the air conditioner.

[0156] When the air conditioner is in PMV mode, the PMV system in the air conditioner can calculate an optimal comfort solution based on prior knowledge and sensor data such as indoor and outdoor ambient temperature, humidity, and wind speed. This optimal comfort solution includes the set temperature used by the air conditioner during PMV mode. The set temperature calculated by the PMV system changes dynamically. In the embodiments of the present invention, the set temperature calculated by the PMV system is referred to as the PMV temperature.

[0157] Accordingly, when the air conditioner executes the second operating parameter, if the indoor ambient temperature is ≤24°C and the cumulative time for the air conditioner to execute the second operating parameter exceeds 10 minutes, the air conditioner can be controlled to execute PMV temperature, low wind and automatic up and down + left and right swing in PMV mode.

[0158] The embodiment of the present invention controls the air conditioner to execute the PMV temperature and the third preset wind speed in the PMV mode, controls the vertical swing blades to swing back and forth at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the first direction and the maximum angle in the second direction, and controls the horizontal swing blades to swing back and forth at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the vertical upward direction and the maximum angle in the vertical downward direction, during the process of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode for cooling. In the process of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode for cooling, the air conditioner can be controlled more accurately, efficiently and flexibly, so that the indoor ambient temperature can be maintained at a relatively suitable temperature more stably, the energy consumption of the air conditioner can be reduced, and the energy saving and environmental protection requirements of the air conditioner can be better met.

[0159] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, controlling the air conditioner to execute the fourth operating parameter includes: controlling the air conditioner to execute the fourth set temperature and the first preset wind speed, controlling the vertical swing blade to swing in the first direction or the second direction to a second preset angle with the vertical plane, and controlling the horizontal swing blade to swing below the horizontal plane and to a third preset angle with the horizontal plane;

[0160] The fourth set temperature range is between 25°C and 27°C;

[0161] The first preset wind speed is the maximum wind speed that the air conditioner can provide;

[0162] The second preset angle has a value range of 40° to 50°;

[0163] The value range of the third preset angle is between 40° and 50°;

[0164] The first direction and the second direction are two directions parallel to and opposite to the body of the air conditioner; and the vertical plane is a plane perpendicular to the plane where the body is located.

[0165] Specifically, the fourth operating parameter may be determined based on prior knowledge.

[0166] It should be noted that the first preset wind speed may be the maximum wind speed that the air conditioner can provide, which is usually called strong wind.

[0167] Preferably, the fourth set temperature may be 26°C.

[0168] Preferably, the second preset angle may be 45°.

[0169] Preferably, the third preset angle may be 45°.

[0170] Accordingly, when the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode and the air conditioner's operating mode is heating mode, or when the indoor ambient temperature is ≤21°C and the cumulative time for the air conditioner to execute the fifth operating parameter this time exceeds 15 minutes, the air conditioner can be controlled to start the auxiliary heating function, and execute the set temperature of 26°C and the wind speed of strong wind. The vertical swing blades in the air conditioner can also be controlled to swing to the left to an angle of 45° with the vertical plane or to the right to an angle of 45° with the vertical plane. The horizontal swing blades in the air conditioner can also be controlled to swing below the horizontal plane and at an angle of 45° with the horizontal plane.

[0171] The embodiment of the present invention controls the air conditioner to start the auxiliary heating function and execute the fourth set temperature and the first preset wind speed when the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode and the operating mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, or when the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than the seventh preset value and the fourth accumulated time is not less than the eighth preset value. It controls the vertical swing blades to swing in the first direction to the second preset angle with the vertical plane or in the second direction to the second preset angle with the vertical plane, and controls the horizontal swing blades to swing below the horizontal plane and the angle with the horizontal plane to the third preset angle. This can more accurately and efficiently control the air conditioner to quickly increase the indoor ambient temperature when the air conditioner starts to execute the target scene mode and the operating mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, or when the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than the seventh preset value and the fourth accumulated time is not less than the eighth preset value.

[0172] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, controlling the air conditioner to implement the fifth operating parameter includes: controlling the air conditioner to implement the fifth set temperature and the fourth preset wind speed, controlling the vertical swing blade to reciprocate at a constant speed between a maximum angle in the first direction and a maximum angle in the second direction, and controlling the horizontal swing blade to maintain an angle with the horizontal plane at a third preset angle;

[0173] The fifth set temperature range is between 22°C and 24°C;

[0174] The fourth preset wind speed is lower than the first preset wind speed.

[0175] Specifically, the fifth operating parameter may be determined based on prior knowledge.

[0176] Optionally, the air conditioner may include multiple wind speed levels. The fourth preset wind speed may be the same as the wind speed when the air conditioner is at the median wind speed level. For example, if the air conditioner includes five wind speed levels, the wind speed of the air outlet of the air conditioner increases as the wind speed level increases from low to high. The fourth preset wind speed may be the same as the wind speed when the air conditioner is at the third wind speed level.

[0177] Optionally, the fourth preset wind speed may also be the same as the wind speed of the automatic wind preset by the air conditioner.

[0178] Preferably, the fifth set temperature may be 23°C.

[0179] Accordingly, during the process of the air conditioner executing the fourth operating parameter, if the indoor ambient temperature is not greater than 21°C and the cumulative time of the air conditioner executing the fourth operating parameter this time exceeds 3 minutes, the air conditioner can be controlled to execute the set temperature of 23°C and the wind speed of free wind. The air conditioner can also be controlled to automatically swing left and right, and the horizontal swing blades in the air conditioner can also be controlled to remain below the horizontal plane and at an angle of 45° to the horizontal plane.

[0180] The embodiment of the present invention controls the air conditioner to execute the fifth set temperature and the fourth preset wind speed, controls the vertical swing blades to swing back and forth at a constant speed between the maximum angle in the first direction and the maximum angle in the second direction, and controls the horizontal swing blades to remain below the horizontal plane and at an angle to the horizontal plane of the third preset angle during the process of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode for heating. In this way, the air conditioner can be controlled more accurately, efficiently and flexibly during the process of the air conditioner executing the target scene mode for heating, thereby avoiding the indoor temperature being too high when the air conditioner executes the target scene mode, resulting in a poor user comfort experience.
