[0038] This embodiment first provides an air conditioner unit 100, which can realize a variety of different air supply modes to meet different user needs and improve the user experience. Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of an air conditioner cabinet unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 A side sectional view of an air conditioner unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner cabinet unit 100 in this embodiment may include: a housing 110.
[0039] The front of the housing 110 is provided with an air outlet, which, from top to bottom, includes a first air outlet area 111, a second air outlet area 112, and a third air outlet area 113, each equipped with an independently controllable first swing blade 121, a second swing blade 122, and a third swing blade 123. That is, the opening and closing states and specific postures of the first swing blade 121, the second swing blade 122, and the third swing blade 123 are independent of each other and can be controlled independently. It should be noted that the air conditioner unit 100 in this embodiment can actually be the indoor unit of a cabinet air conditioner.
[0040] In one specific embodiment, the interior of the housing 110 defines a cavity, and a heat exchanger can be disposed inside the cavity to exchange heat with the air entering the cavity. An air inlet 114 can be disposed at the rear of the housing 110, and an evaporator 117 can be located at the air inlet 114 inside the cavity, so that external air entering the cavity through the air inlet 114 can be heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger. The shapes of the evaporator 117 and the air inlet 114 can be matched to increase the heat exchange area and improve the heat exchange efficiency. Specifically, the air inlet 114 can be rectangular, and the heat exchanger can be vertical plate-shaped. In a preferred embodiment, an air inlet grille can also be disposed at the air inlet 114 to further promote air entry into the cavity and to initially filter some impurities in the air.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple air ducts can be arranged vertically inside the cavity. Furthermore, a fan can be horizontally installed within each air duct. In a preferred embodiment, the fan can be a cross-flow fan. The air ducts, fans, and air outlet areas can be correspondingly arranged. Figure 2 This diagram illustrates a configuration with three air ducts and three fans corresponding to three air outlet zones. Each air outlet zone is open to the front, and the axis of each fan extends laterally along the housing 110. The corresponding air outlet zones and fans can be opened and closed simultaneously. For example, the first fan 124, the second fan 125, and the third fan 126, arranged from top to bottom, are activated when the first air outlet zone 111 is open; and deactivated when the first air outlet zone 111 is closed. The other air outlet zones and fans are similar, with the opening and closing of the air outlet zones achieved by corresponding oscillating blades.
[0042] In one specific embodiment, the distance between the upper and lower edges of any air outlet area is h1, and the distance between the two adjacent sides of each air outlet area and the adjacent air outlet area is h2. In a preferred embodiment, 55 ≤ h1 / h2 ≤ 65, thus setting the size of the air outlet area can balance the air outlet area and the overall stability of the housing 110.
[0043] Multiple first oscillating blades 121, second oscillating blades 122, and third oscillating blades 123 can be provided in the first air outlet area 111, the second air outlet area 112, and the third air outlet area 113. Multiple oscillating blades in each air outlet area are arranged vertically. Furthermore, each oscillating blade can be rotatably mounted on the housing 110 about a horizontal axis to open and close the corresponding air outlet area and guide the vertical air outlet angle of that area. The dimension of each oscillating blade along its axial direction is larger than the dimension of the housing 110 in that direction, so that both sides of the housing 110 in that direction are blocked by the oscillating blades.
[0044] In one specific embodiment, the system can receive intelligent air supply signals from the air conditioner unit 100, detect the actual distance between the user and the air conditioner unit 100 in the indoor environment, obtain the set temperature of the air conditioner unit 100 and the actual temperature of the indoor environment, determine the air supply mode of the air conditioner unit 100 based on the actual distance, set temperature, and actual temperature, and adjust the first oscillating blade 121, the second oscillating blade 122, and the third oscillating blade 123 according to the air supply mode. By adjusting the attitude of the first oscillating blade 121, the second oscillating blade 122, and the third oscillating blade 123, the first air outlet area 111, the second air outlet area 112, and the third air outlet area 113 can jointly achieve the determined air supply mode.
[0045] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of gas flow in the air supply mode of the air conditioner cabinet 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention when the air supply mode is high-speed concentrated air supply. At this time, the first swing blade 121 opens downward, the second swing blade 122 opens horizontally, and the third swing blade 123 opens upward. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of gas flow in the air supply mode of an air conditioner unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the air supply mode is low-speed converged air supply. In this mode, the first vane 121 opens downwards, the second vane 122 opens upwards, and the third vane 123 is closed. Converged air supply causes the overall airflow from the air conditioner unit 100 to converge towards the center of the indoor environment, suitable for situations where the user is far from the air conditioner unit 100. Compared to high-speed converged air supply, low-speed converged air supply reduces the airflow volume in the lower third air outlet area 113.
[0046] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of gas flow in the air supply mode of the air conditioner cabinet 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention when the air supply mode is high-speed direct air supply, at which time the first swing blade 121, the second swing blade 122, and the third swing blade 123 are all horizontally opened. Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of gas flow in the air supply mode of an air conditioner unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the air supply mode is low-speed direct airflow. In this mode, the first and second oscillating blades 121 and 122 are both horizontally open, while the third oscillating blade 123 is closed. Direct airflow directs the overall airflow from the air conditioner unit 100 towards the user's location in the indoor environment, suitable for situations where the user is far from the air conditioner unit 100. Low-speed direct airflow reduces the airflow volume in the lower third air outlet area 113 compared to high-speed direct airflow.
[0047] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of gas flow in the air supply mode of the air conditioner cabinet 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention when the air supply mode is high-speed three-dimensional air supply. At this time, the first swing blade 121 opens upward, the second swing blade 122 opens horizontally, and the third swing blade 123 opens downward. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of gas flow in the air supply mode of an air conditioner unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the air supply mode is low-speed three-dimensional air supply. In this mode, the first vane 121 is open upwards, the second vane 122 is closed, and the third vane 123 is open downwards. Three-dimensional air supply causes the overall airflow of the air conditioner unit 100 to circulate three-dimensionally in all directions of the indoor environment, suitable for situations where the user is close to the air conditioner unit 100. Low-speed three-dimensional air supply, compared to high-speed three-dimensional air supply, reduces the airflow volume in the middle second air outlet area 112.
[0048] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of gas flow in the air supply mode of the air conditioner cabinet unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention when the air supply mode is high-speed canopy air supply, at which time the first swing blade 121, the second swing blade 122, and the third swing blade 123 are all open upwards. Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of gas flow in the air supply mode of an air conditioner unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the air supply mode is low-speed ceiling-mounted air supply. In this mode, the first and second swivel blades 121 and 122 are both open and facing upwards, while the third swivel blade 123 is closed. The ceiling-mounted air supply directs the overall airflow of the air conditioner unit 100 towards the ceiling of the room, suitable for situations where the user is very close to the air conditioner unit 100. Compared to high-speed ceiling-mounted air supply, the low-speed ceiling-mounted air supply reduces the airflow volume in the lower third air outlet area 113.
[0049] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of gas flow in the air supply mode of the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention when the air supply mode is high-speed floor heating air supply, at which time the first swing blade 121, the second swing blade 122, and the third swing blade 123 are all opened downwards. Figure 12This is a schematic diagram of gas flow in the air supply mode of an air conditioner unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the air supply mode is low-speed underfloor heating. In this mode, the first vane 121 is closed, while the second vane 122 and the third vane 123 are both open downwards. Underfloor heating air supply directs the overall airflow of the air conditioner unit 100 towards the floor of the indoor environment, suitable for situations where the user is very close to the air conditioner unit 100. Low-speed underfloor heating air supply, compared to high-speed underfloor heating air supply, reduces the airflow volume in the upper first air outlet area 111.
[0050] It should be noted that concentrated air supply, direct air supply, and three-dimensional air supply are applicable to either cooling or heating mode of the air conditioner unit 100. Canopy air supply is applicable to cooling mode, and underfloor heating air supply is applicable to heating mode. The opening and closing status of each air outlet area and the air outlet direction for each air supply mode, as well as the reduction in air outlet area at lower fan speeds compared to higher fan speeds, are also related to the applicable cooling or heating mode.
[0051] The air conditioner unit 100 in this embodiment can realize a variety of different air supply modes to meet different user needs and improve the user experience; to avoid user discomfort caused by air supply problems, the air conditioner unit 100 automatically adjusts according to the actual situation, effectively improving the level of intelligence and enhancing the user's human-computer interaction experience.
[0052] Figure 13 This is a schematic block diagram of a control device 200 for an air conditioner cabinet unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The control device 200 includes a processor 210 and a memory 220, wherein the memory 220 stores a control program 221, and when the control program 221 is executed by the processor 210, it is used to implement the air supply control method of the air conditioner cabinet unit according to any of the following embodiments.
[0053] Processor 210 can be a central processing unit (CPU), a digital processing unit, etc. Processor 210 sends and receives data via a communication interface. Memory 220 is used to store programs executed by processor 210. Memory 220 can be any medium capable of carrying or storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures, and accessible by a computer; it can also be a combination of multiple memories 220. The aforementioned control program 221 can be downloaded from a computer-readable storage medium to the corresponding computing / processing device or downloaded and installed to control device 200 via a network (e.g., the Internet, local area network, wide area network, and / or wireless network).
[0054] This embodiment also provides an air supply control method for an air conditioning unit, applicable to the air conditioning unit 100 in any of the above embodiments, enabling the air conditioning unit 100 to achieve multiple different air supply modes, meeting different user needs and improving the user experience. Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of an air supply control method for a cabinet air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 14 As shown, the air supply control method of this air conditioner unit can perform the following steps:
[0055] Step S1402: Receive the intelligent air supply signal from the air conditioner unit 100;
[0056] Step S1404: Detect the actual distance between the user and the air conditioner unit 100 in the indoor environment where the air conditioner unit 100 is located;
[0057] Step S1406: Obtain the set temperature of the air conditioner unit 100 and the actual temperature of the indoor environment;
[0058] Step S1408: Determine the air supply mode of the air conditioner unit 100 based on the actual distance, the set temperature, and the actual temperature.
[0059] Step S1410: Adjust the first blade 121, the second blade 122 and the third blade 123 according to the air supply mode.
[0060] In the above steps, step S1402 involves receiving the intelligent air supply signal from the air conditioner unit 100, which can be specifically achieved through...
[0061] It should be noted that the methods in this embodiment and the following embodiments are all described from the control device side, that is, the relevant steps are performed by the control device. In the above steps, step S1402 receives the intelligent air supply signal from the air conditioner unit 100. Specifically, the intelligent air supply signal can be sent by the user in various different ways. For example, the user can send the intelligent air supply signal through the display device or voice device on the air conditioner unit 100. Alternatively, the user can send the intelligent air supply signal through the remote control of the air conditioner unit 100. Or, the user can also send the intelligent air supply signal through a mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner unit 100.
[0062] Therefore, receiving the intelligent air supply signal from the air conditioner unit 100 in step S1402 can be receiving an intelligent air supply signal sent by a mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner unit 100, or by the display device, voice device, or remote control of the air conditioner unit 100. The mobile terminal can specifically be a conveniently portable smart device, such as a smartphone or tablet. The intelligent air supply signal differs from traditional air supply signals. After receiving the intelligent air supply signal, the system will automatically determine the air supply mode based on the actual situation and subsequently adjust the louver state of each air outlet area.
[0063] Step S1404 involves detecting the actual distance between the user and the air conditioner unit 100 in the indoor environment. In one specific embodiment, an infrared sensor can be installed on the casing 110 of the air conditioner unit 100. The infrared sensor can accurately detect the actual distance between the user and the air conditioner unit 100. Furthermore, the operation of the infrared sensor is not limited by light intensity and can work normally even in low-light conditions at night.
[0064] Step S1406 obtains the set temperature of the air conditioner unit 100 and the actual temperature of the indoor environment. The set temperature can also be obtained through a mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner unit 100, or through any of the display devices, voice devices, or remote controls of the air conditioner unit 100. The actual temperature can be obtained by a temperature sensor installed on the air conditioner unit 100.
[0065] Step S1408 determines the air supply mode of the air conditioner unit 100 based on the actual distance, set temperature, and actual temperature. Taking into account the user's location and the target temperature, the air supply mode is scientifically and rationally determined to meet the user's actual needs while ensuring comfort and health of the airflow. If necessary, closing a certain air outlet area will also shut down the corresponding fan, saving energy to some extent. Step S1410 adjusts the first vane 121, second vane 122, and third vane 123 according to the air supply mode, enabling the air conditioner unit 100 to achieve multiple different air supply modes to meet different user needs and improve the user experience.
[0066] In some optional embodiments, the air conditioner unit 100 can achieve higher technical effects through further optimization and configuration of the above steps. The following describes the air supply control method of the air conditioner unit in this embodiment in detail with reference to an optional execution flow of this embodiment. This embodiment is only an example of the execution flow. In specific implementation, the execution order and operating conditions of some steps can be modified according to specific implementation requirements.

[0099] In the above steps, the first preset distance, the second preset distance, and the third preset distance decrease sequentially. The first preset value, the second preset value, the third preset value, and the fourth preset value are all positive numbers, while the fifth preset value is a negative number. Furthermore, the absolute values of the first preset value, the second preset value, the third preset value, the fourth preset value, and the fifth preset value can be the same or different. In one specific embodiment, the first preset value, the second preset value, the third preset value, and the fourth preset value can be 2, and the fifth preset value can be -2. It should be noted that the specific values of the above parameters are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. In other embodiments, other values can be set according to actual conditions, provided that the relative sizes and positive / negative values are satisfied.
[0100] When the actual distance is greater than or equal to the first preset distance, and the absolute value of the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset value, the air supply mode is determined to be high-speed concentrated air supply. At this time, the first vane 121 is controlled to open downwards, the second vane 122 opens horizontally, and the third vane 123 opens upwards. The specific gas flow is as follows: Figure 3 As shown. When the actual distance is greater than or equal to the first preset distance, and the absolute value of the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature is less than the first preset value, the air supply mode is determined to be low-speed convergent air supply. At this time, the first vane 121 is controlled to open downwards, the second vane 122 is controlled to open upwards, and the third vane 123 is controlled to close. The specific gas flow is as follows. Figure 4 As shown. The concentrated airflow directs the overall airflow from the air conditioner unit 100 towards the center of the indoor environment, suitable for situations where the user is far from the air conditioner unit 100. The lower fan speed setting reduces the airflow from the lower third air outlet area 113 compared to the higher fan speed setting.
[0101] When the actual distance is less than the first preset distance but greater than or equal to the second preset distance, and the absolute value of the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset value, the air supply mode is determined to be high-speed direct airflow. At this time, the first vane 121, the second vane 122, and the third vane 123 are all controlled to open horizontally. The specific gas flow is as follows: Figure 5 As shown. When the actual distance is less than the first preset distance but greater than or equal to the second preset distance, and the absolute value of the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature is less than the second preset value, the air supply mode is determined to be low-speed direct airflow. At this time, the first and second oscillating blades 121 and 122 are both horizontally opened, and the third oscillating blade 123 is closed. The specific gas flow is as follows. Figure 6As shown. Direct airflow directs the overall airflow of the air conditioner unit 100 towards the user's location in the indoor environment, suitable for situations where the user is far from the air conditioner unit 100. The low-speed direct airflow reduces the airflow volume of the lower third air outlet area 113 compared to the high-speed direct airflow.
[0102] When the actual distance is less than the second preset distance but greater than or equal to the third preset distance, and the absolute value of the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset value, the air supply mode is determined to be high-speed three-dimensional air supply. At this time, the first vane 121 is controlled to open upwards, the second vane 122 opens horizontally, and the third vane 123 opens downwards. The specific gas flow is as follows: Figure 7 As shown. When the actual distance is less than the second preset distance but greater than or equal to the third preset distance, and the absolute value of the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature is less than the third preset value, the air supply mode is determined to be low-speed three-dimensional air supply. At this time, the first vane 121 is controlled to open upwards, the second vane 122 is closed, and the third vane 123 is controlled to open downwards. The specific gas flow is as follows. Figure 8 As shown. The three-dimensional air supply system ensures that the air from the air conditioner unit 100 is distributed in a three-dimensional manner, circulating throughout the indoor environment, which is suitable for users who are close to the air conditioner unit 100. The lower windshield three-dimensional air supply reduces the air volume in the middle second air outlet area 112 compared to the higher windshield three-dimensional air supply.
[0103] If the actual distance is less than the third preset distance, the set temperature is greater than the actual temperature, and the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature is greater than or equal to the fourth preset value, the air outlet is set to high-speed canopy air supply. At this time, the first vane 121, the second vane 122, and the third vane 123 are all controlled to open upwards. The specific gas flow is as follows: Figure 9 As shown. When the actual distance is less than the third preset distance, the set temperature is greater than the actual temperature, and the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature is less than the fourth preset value, the air outlet is set to low-speed canopy air supply. At this time, the first and second swing blades 121 and 122 are both opened upwards, and the third swing blade 123 is closed. The specific gas flow is as follows. Figure 10 As shown. The canopy air supply directs the overall airflow of the air conditioner unit 100 towards the ceiling of the room, which is suitable for situations where the user is very close to the air conditioner unit 100. Compared to the higher wind speed canopy air supply, the low wind speed canopy air supply reduces the airflow in the lower third air outlet area 113.
[0104] When the actual distance is less than the third preset distance, the set temperature is less than or equal to the actual temperature, and the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature is less than or equal to the fifth preset value, the air outlet is set to high-speed floor heating air supply. At this time, the first vane 121, the second vane 122, and the third vane 123 all open downwards, and the specific airflow is as follows: Figure 11As shown. When the actual distance is less than the third preset distance, and the set temperature is less than or equal to the actual temperature, and the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature is greater than the fifth preset value, the air outlet is set to low-speed floor heating air supply. At this time, the first swivel blade 121 is closed, and the second swivel blade 122 and the third swivel blade 123 are both opened downwards. The specific air flow is as follows. Figure 12 As shown. Underfloor heating directs the airflow from the air conditioner unit 100 towards the floor, making it suitable for users who are very close to the unit. Lower fan speeds reduce the airflow from the upper first air outlet area 111 compared to higher fan speeds.
[0105] It should be noted that concentrated air supply, direct air supply, and three-dimensional air supply are applicable to either cooling or heating mode of the air conditioner unit 100. Canopy air supply is applicable to cooling mode, and underfloor heating air supply is applicable to heating mode. The opening and closing status of each air outlet area and the air outlet direction for each air supply mode, as well as the reduction in air outlet area at lower fan speeds compared to higher fan speeds, are also related to the applicable cooling or heating mode.
[0106] The air supply control method of the air conditioning unit 100 in this embodiment automatically determines the air supply mode of the air conditioning unit 100 based on the actual distance, set temperature, and actual temperature. Then, it automatically adjusts the specific states of the first swing blade 121, the second swing blade 122, and the third swing blade 123 according to the air supply mode, so that the first air supply area, the second air supply area, and the third air supply area jointly achieve the determined air supply mode, meet the user's comfort experience, and avoid the user's physical discomfort caused by air supply problems. The air conditioning unit 100 automatically adjusts according to the actual situation, effectively improving the level of intelligence and enhancing the user's human-computer interaction experience.
