[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0061] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The specific operation methods in the method embodiments can also be applied to the device embodiments or system embodiments. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, "at least one" includes one or more. "Multiple" refers to two or more. For example, at least one of A, B, and C includes: A existing alone, B existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, A and C existing simultaneously, B and C existing simultaneously, and A, B, and C existing simultaneously. In the present invention, " / " means "or". For example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in this document is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone.

[0062] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.

[0063] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this solution provides an air conditioner, including: an air conditioner body 10, an air guide plate 20, a drive unit 30, and a blocking part 40; the air guide plate 20 is disposed at the air outlet of the air conditioner body 10; the drive unit 30 is disposed at the air conditioner body 10; the blocking part 40 is connected to the drive unit 30 and extends to the air outlet; wherein, under the drive of the drive unit 30, the blocking part 40 can adjust its relative position with the air outlet to block the airflow delivered by the air guide plate 20.

[0064] In detail, the present invention guides the airflow delivered by the air guide plate 20 by setting a shielding part 40 that moves relative to the air guide plate 20, thus avoiding the phenomenon of direct airflow. At the same time, the setting of the drive part 30 provides power support for the adjustment of the position of the shielding part 40, realizing the automated operation of airflow shielding and enhancing the technological feel and user experience of traditional wall-mounted air conditioners.

[0065] It should be noted that by setting up the drive unit 30 and the shielding unit 40, the traditional wall-mounted air conditioner's built-in air guide plate 20 and the shielding unit 40 can be used together without setting up too many complicated structures. With minimal modifications, the traditional wall-mounted air conditioner can be upgraded, and the problem of direct airflow in the traditional wall-mounted air conditioner can be solved.

[0066] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, the shielding part 40 includes: a shielding plate 41 and a connecting rod 42; the shielding plate 41 is provided corresponding to the air outlet of the air conditioner body 10; one end of the connecting rod 42 is connected to the side of the shielding plate 41, and the other end of the connecting rod 42 is connected to the driving part 30.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an implementation of a shielding part 40. By setting a shielding plate 41, the air outlet of the air conditioner body 10 is shielded, and it moves relative to the air guide plate 20. In conjunction with the air guide plate 20's air guiding direction, the problem of the air conditioner blowing directly is avoided.

[0068] Furthermore, the baffle plate 41 is connected to the drive unit 30 via the connecting rod 42, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the baffle plate 41 by the drive unit 30.

[0069] In a possible implementation, the drive unit 30, the connecting rod 42, and the baffle plate 41 are all located on the outside of the air conditioner body 10. This arrangement facilitates the upgrading of existing wall-mounted air conditioners without the need for a complete replacement of the existing wall-mounted air conditioner. With minimal modifications, the traditional wall-mounted air conditioner can be upgraded and replaced, improving the user experience and enhancing the sense of technology.

[0070] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, the baffle plate 41 is provided with a plurality of air passage holes 43.

[0071] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an implementation of a baffle plate 41. By setting multiple air passage holes 43, the airflow is guided on the baffle plate 41, and some airflow is also sent out through the air passage holes 43. This ensures the cooling effect while avoiding direct airflow. In addition, the air passage holes 43 can also refine the airflow. The airflow passing through the baffle plate 41 reduces the impact force of the airflow while maintaining the cooling effect, thus improving the user experience.

[0072] It should be noted that when the baffle plate 41 is not provided with air passage holes 43, the airflow blows directly onto the baffle plate 41. While the airflow is guided by the baffle plate 41, some of the airflow will also be affected by the baffle plate 41 and change its direction, resulting in airflow loss and a large deviation in the airflow direction.

[0073] In other words, the present invention guides the airflow direction by setting the baffle plate 41, preventing the airflow from blowing directly on the user. At the same time, the air passage hole 43 refines the airflow blowing towards the baffle plate 41, so that some airflow passes through the baffle plate 41, which can ensure the cooling effect. The intensity of the airflow passing through the air passage hole 43 is also weakened.

[0074] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, two drive units 30 are respectively disposed on two opposite side walls of the air conditioner body 10 along the length direction of the air guide plate 20.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an implementation of the drive unit 30. By setting the drive unit 30 on two opposite side walls of the air conditioner body 10, the drive unit 30 drives the shielding part 40 more smoothly, avoiding the problem of the shielding part 40 tilting due to the drive unit 30 being set on one side.

[0076] In a possible implementation, two drive units 30 are respectively disposed on the outer walls of opposite sides of the air conditioner body 10.

[0077] In a possible implementation, two drive units 30 are respectively disposed on the inner walls of opposite sides of the air conditioner body 10.

[0078] In a possible implementation, the drive unit 30 is a stepper motor.

[0079] In a possible implementation, the drive unit 30 is a servo motor.

[0080] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this solution provides a control method for an air conditioner, which is applied to the air conditioner described above;

[0081] The methods include:

[0082] Drive unit 30 starts;

[0083] The drive unit 30 drives the shielding unit 40 to move relative to the air guide plate 20;

[0084] The shielding part 40 blocks the airflow delivered by the air guide plate 20.

[0085] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the drive unit 30 drives the shielding unit 40 to move relative to the air guide plate 20, thereby enabling the shielding unit 40 to guide and shield the airflow sent out by the air guide plate 20. This avoids the problem that traditional wall-mounted air conditioners have when users turn on the powerful cooling mode in hot summer, and the air conditioner's own structure is not enough to completely prevent cold air from being blown directly.

[0086] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, the step of driving the blocking part 40 and the air guide plate 20 to move relative to each other by the driving part 30 specifically includes:

[0087] Obtain the air guiding strategy of the air guide plate 20 and the shielding strategy of the shielding part 40;

[0088] According to the air guiding strategy and the shielding strategy, the drive unit 30 drives the relative movement between the shielding unit 40 and the guide plate.

[0089] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method in which the driving unit 30 drives the blocking part 40 to move relative to the air guide plate 20. By obtaining the air guiding strategy and the blocking strategy, it is convenient for the driving unit 30 to control the action of the blocking part 40, thereby realizing the adjustment of the relative position between the two parts.

[0090] In a possible implementation, the movement speed, movement mode, and movement direction of the air guide plate 20 are obtained, and an air guiding strategy is generated based on the movement speed, movement mode, and movement direction of the air guide plate 20.

[0091] In a possible implementation, the user's selection of the shading mode is obtained, such as forward shading, reverse shading, full shading, partial shading, etc., and a shading strategy is generated based on the shading mode. Through the air guiding strategy and the shading strategy, parameters such as the driving speed, driving direction, driving timing and driving range of the driving unit 30 to the shading unit 40 are determined, thereby realizing the relative movement between the shading unit 40 and the air guide plate 20, and solving the problem of direct blowing of traditional wall-mounted air conditioners.

[0092] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, the step of driving the relative movement between the driving unit 30 and the guide plate, according to the air guiding strategy and the shielding strategy, specifically includes:

[0093] Extract the first air guiding feature and the second air guiding feature of the air guide plate 20. The first air guiding feature points to the operating range of the air guide plate 20, and the second air guiding feature points to the operating speed of the air guide plate 20.

[0094] Extract the first occlusion feature and the second occlusion feature of the occlusion part 40. The first occlusion feature points to the operating range of the occlusion part 40, and the second occlusion feature points to the operating direction of the occlusion part 40.

[0095] A wind-guiding strategy is generated based on the first and second wind-guiding characteristics.

[0096] An occlusion strategy is generated based on the first occlusion feature and the second occlusion feature;

[0097] According to the air guiding strategy and the shielding strategy, the shielding part 40 is driven to move in the same direction or away from the air guiding plate 20.

[0098] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method in which the driving unit 30 drives the blocking unit 40 to move relative to the guide plate. By extracting the operating range and operating speed of the air guide plate 20, the air guiding strategy of the air guide plate 20 in space is determined. Then, by extracting the operating range and operating direction of the blocking unit 40, the blocking strategy of the blocking unit 40 in space is determined. Finally, the movement between the blocking unit 40 and the air guide plate 20 is driven by the air guiding strategy and the blocking strategy.

[0099] In a possible implementation, the user selects a shielding mode, and based on the selected shielding mode, the operating range and direction of the shielding part 40 are determined, i.e., the shielding strategy. Then, based on the selected air conditioning operating mode, the operating range and speed of the air guide plate 20 are determined, i.e., the air guiding strategy. Finally, the relative position between the shielding part 40 and the air guide plate 20 is adjusted according to the shielding strategy and the air guiding strategy.

[0100] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, the step of driving the shielding part 40 to move in the same direction or opposite to the air guide plate 20 according to the air guiding strategy and the shielding strategy specifically includes:

[0101] During the continuous acquisition period, the first instantaneous position of the air guide plate 20 and the second instantaneous position of the shielding part 40 are acquired.

[0102] Extract the deviation value between the first instantaneous position and the second instantaneous position;

[0103] The occlusion strategy is adjusted based on the deviation value.

[0104] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method for driving the shielding part 40 to move in the same direction or in opposite directions as the air guide plate 20. During the position adjustment process of the shielding part 40 and the air guide plate 20, there may be running errors, that is, the running of the shielding part 40 deviates from the preset trajectory. By periodically acquiring the real-time position of the air guide plate 20 and the shielding part 40 and extracting the deviation value, the relative movement between the air guide plate 20 and the shielding part 40 is corrected according to the deviation value, thus ensuring the shielding effect of the shielding part 40.

[0105] In a possible implementation, the blocking part 40 has a certain angular or range of movement error per minute. After accumulating for a certain period of time, the blocking part 40 will have a large error in blocking the air guide plate 20, thus affecting the blocking effect. Therefore, by obtaining the deviation value between the blocking part 40 and the air guide plate 20, the movement trajectory of the blocking part 40 is corrected, thereby improving the blocking effect.

[0106] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, the step of driving the shielding part 40 to move in the same direction or opposite to the air guide plate 20 according to the air guiding strategy and the shielding strategy specifically includes:

[0107] The operating range of the air guide plate 20 and the operating range of the shielding part 40 partially overlap;

[0108] The drive shield 40 moves in the same direction or away from the air guide plate 20 within the overlapping area;

[0109] When the shielding part 40 moves to the edge of the overlapping area, the shielding part 40 stands still until the air guide plate 20 enters the overlapping area from the edge of the overlapping area or the other side edge, the shielding part 40 and the air guide plate 20 move in the same direction or opposite directions.

[0110] Specifically, this embodiment provides another implementation method in which the driving shielding part 40 and the air guide plate 20 move in the same direction or in opposite directions. The user selects the shielding part 40 to shield a specific area. In this case, the shielding part 40 will move synchronously with the air guide plate 20 in a part of the space in the same direction or in opposite directions.

[0111] In a possible implementation, the air guide plate 20 has a range of motion that covers the cooling space. The user only needs partial shielding within the cooling space. Therefore, a corresponding shielding part 40 operating range is set for the partial shielding, i.e., a specific shielding area. The shielding part 40 moves within the range selected by the user. Outside the specific shielding area, it stands still and waits for the air guide plate 20 to move to the corresponding specific shielding area before the shielding part 40 moves synchronously with the air guide plate 20.

[0112] In a possible implementation, the user can select a specific shielding area within the cooling space. For example, if the cooling space is a study, the user can select the desk in the study as the specific shielding area. The air guide plate 20 can guide the air throughout the entire cooling space, while the shielding part 40 can shield the area where the desk is located.

[0113] In a possible implementation, the user can select a specific shielding area based on the angle of movement of the shielding part 40. For example, the air guiding range of the air guide plate 20 is between 0° and 90°, while the shielding range of the shielding part 40 is set between 30° and 60°. The air guiding range and the shielding range mentioned above are relative ranges within the same movement space, that is, the air guiding range of the air guide plate 20 at least includes the shielding range of the shielding part 40.

[0114] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, the step of driving the shielding part 40 to move in the same direction or opposite to the air guide plate 20 according to the air guiding strategy and the shielding strategy specifically includes:

[0115] Extract the third occlusion feature of the occlusion part 40, the third occlusion feature points to a specific occlusion area;

[0116] The non-specific occlusion area is determined based on the first occlusion feature and the third occlusion feature;

[0117] The drive unit 30 drives the blocking unit 40 to reciprocate within a specific blocking area and a non-specific blocking area;

[0118] The operating speed of the shielding part 40 within the specific shielding area is equal to the operating speed of the air guide plate 20.

[0119] The operating speed of the shielding part 40 in the non-specific shielding area is less than the operating speed of the air guide plate 20.

[0120] Specifically, this embodiment provides another implementation method for driving the shielding part 40 to move in the same direction or in opposite directions as the air guide plate 20. The user selects the shielding part 40 to shield a specific area. In this case, the shielding part 40 will move synchronously with the air guide plate 20 in a specific shielding area. In non-specific shielding areas, the movement speed of the shielding part 40 is less than the movement speed of the air guide plate 20, thereby reducing energy consumption and avoiding equipment damage caused by repeated starting of the shielding part 40.

[0121] In a possible implementation, the air guide plate 20 has a range of motion that covers the cooling space. The user only needs partial shielding within the cooling space. Therefore, a corresponding operating range for the shielding part 40 is set for the partial shielding, i.e., a specific shielding area. The shielding part 40 operates at normal speed within the specific shielding area selected by the user. Outside the non-specific shielding area, the shielding part 40 operates at low speed. That is, the operating speed of the shielding part 40 in the non-specific shielding area is less than the operating speed of the shielding part 40 in the specific shielding area, thus avoiding the problem of repeated start-stop of the drive unit 30.

[0122] In a possible implementation, the user can select a specific shielding area within the cooling space. For example, if the cooling space is a study, the user can select the desk in the study as the specific shielding area. The air guide plate 20 can guide the air throughout the entire cooling space, while the shielding part 40 can shield the area where the desk is located. Except for the area where the desk is located, the rest of the cooling space is a non-specific shielding area.

[0123] In a possible implementation, the user can select a specific shielding area based on the angle of movement of the shielding part 40. For example, the air guiding range of the air guide plate 20 is between 0° and 90°, while the shielding range of the shielding part 40 is set between 30° and 60°. The air guiding range and the shielding range mentioned above are relative ranges within the same movement space, that is, the air guiding range of the air guide plate 20 at least includes the shielding range of the shielding part 40.

[0125] Startup module 50 is used to start drive unit 30;

[0126] The drive module 60 is used by the drive unit 30 to drive the shielding part 40 to move relative to the air guide plate 20;

[0127] The execution module 70 is used by the shielding part 40 to shield the airflow delivered by the air guide plate 20.

[0138] According to the air guiding strategy and the shielding strategy, the drive unit 30 drives the relative movement between the shielding unit 40 and the guide plate.

[0139] Optionally, the step of driving the relative movement between the driving unit 30 and the guide plate, based on the air guiding strategy and the shielding strategy, specifically includes:
