[0026] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the character " / " indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B indicates: A or B.

[0027] The term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B.

[0028] The term "correspondence" may refer to an association relationship or a binding relationship. The correspondence between A and B means that there is an association relationship or a binding relationship between A and B.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air conditioner is applied to the kitchen to purify the air in the kitchen. Figure 1As shown, the air conditioner includes a shell and an air inlet 10, and a deodorizing and purifying mechanism arranged in the shell inside the air inlet 10. The deodorizing and purifying mechanism includes a water washing component 20, a purification component and a deodorizing component 30, which are arranged in the air inlet duct in sequence according to the air inlet direction. Among them, the water washing component 20, which is arranged inside the air inlet 10, is configured to separate the oil in the incoming air from the air. When the water washing component 20 is working, it can spray atomized water on the incoming air, and the oil in the incoming air falls with the condensed water and is separated from the air. The purification component is arranged behind the water washing component 20 and is controlled to be opened or closed. When opened, the purification component can cover the air inlet duct to purify the air in the air inlet duct. When closed, the purification component can give way to the air inlet duct and no longer purify the air in the air inlet duct. The deodorizing component 30 is arranged behind the purification component and is configured to absorb the odor in the purified air. When the deodorizing component 30 is working, it can emit deodorizing substances, such as negative ions, to remove odors.

[0030] Optionally, the water washing component 20 includes: a water tank 21, an atomizing component 23, a water receiving pan 24 and an oil collecting box 25. The water tank 21 is used to store water. The atomizing component 23 is connected to the water tank 21 through a pipeline, and the atomizing component 23 is evenly distributed on the pipeline. So that the incoming air can be evenly wetted when the atomized water is sprayed in a controlled manner. Furthermore, a water pump 22 is arranged on the pipeline, and when the water washing component 20 is working, the water pump 22 is started to supply the water in the water tank 21 to the atomizing component 23. The water receiving pan 24 is arranged below the atomizing component 23, and is used to receive the condensed water after atomization and separate the water and oil in the condensed water. The oil collecting box 25 is arranged on one side of the water receiving pan 24, and is connected to the oil outlet in the water receiving pan 24 to store the separated oil.

[0031] Optionally, the water receiving pan 24 is coated with a hydrophilic film. After the atomized air flows through the water receiving pan, the condensed water attached to the oil in the air condenses on the surface of the water receiving pan 24 and falls off when passing through the water receiving pan 24 and is collected at the bottom of the water receiving pan 24. Thus, the oil is collected in the oil collecting box 25 through the oil outlet. Here, in order to better collect the oil, the water receiving pan 24 is tilted. At the same time, in order for the incoming air to pass through the water receiving pan 24, an air hole or an air slot is provided on the water receiving pan 24 so that the air can pass smoothly.

[0032] Optionally, the oil outlet of the water receiving pan 24 is arranged on one side of the bottom of the water receiving pan 24. Here, the oil will gather at the bottom of the water receiving pan 24 due to gravity. In order to discharge the oil to the oil collecting box 25 in time, the oil outlet is arranged at the bottom of the water receiving pan 24.

[0033] Optionally, the deodorizing component 30 includes a deodorizing box 31. The deodorizing box 31 includes a box body and a box cover, and the box cover can be controlled to be opened or closed. A solid deodorant is arranged inside the box body, and a heating module 32 is arranged at the bottom of the outer side of the box body. When the deodorizing component is working, the box cover is controlled to be opened and the heating module 32 is heated. The solid deodorant is volatilized to purify the odor in the incoming air. When the deodorizing component 30 is not working, the box cover is controlled to be closed and the heating module 32 is not working.

[0034] Optionally, the purification component includes a filter 40, which is arranged at the rear of the purification component. The filter 40 is a retractable structure. When the purification component is not working, the power member drives the filter 40 to retract on one side of the air inlet duct. When the purification component is working, the driving member drives the filter 40 to extend and cover the air inlet duct, so that the air in the air inlet duct is further circulated in the air inlet duct after being filtered by the filter.

[0035] Compared with the related art that sets two air ducts to handle air with different fume concentrations, in this embodiment, the structure of the air conditioner is more compact and highly integrated. It can also handle air with different fume concentrations. The three components of the deodorization and purification mechanism can be arbitrarily combined or controlled separately to meet the needs of different scenarios. In addition, this solution not only purifies the dirty components in the air, but also purifies the odor in the air. It improves the air quality of the air conditioner and enhances the user experience.

[0036] Based on the above air conditioning, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0037] S101, when the air conditioner is started, the sensor detects indoor air parameters.

[0038] S102: The processor determines a target operation plan of the air conditioner according to changes in indoor air parameters.

[0039] S103, the processor controls the operation of corresponding components in the deodorization and purification mechanism according to the target operation plan.

[0040] Here, a sensor is set at the air inlet of the air conditioner to detect indoor air. For example, the indoor PM2.5 content, the concentration of volatile organic compounds, etc. are detected. After the air conditioner is started, the sensor starts to detect. The detection cycle can be set to detect the air parameters of the kitchen regularly or irregularly. According to the detection value, the change of the air parameter is calculated. Further, according to the change of the parameter, the target operation scheme of the air conditioner is determined. Among them, after the air conditioner is turned on, if the kitchen is not cooking or boiling, the detection values ​​of some parameters in the air parameters in the kitchen will not continue to deteriorate. If the kitchen is cooking or boiling, the detection values ​​of some parameters in the air parameters in the kitchen will deteriorate. In this case, it is necessary to determine the target operation scheme of the air conditioner in combination with the change of the air parameters. As an example, when the concentration of volatile organic compounds in the kitchen is detected to be increasing, it indicates that the indoor oil smoke is large. At this time, the air conditioner needs to run a water washing scheme. When the concentration of PM2.5 in the kitchen is detected to be increasing, the air conditioner needs to run a purification scheme. Further, based on the target operation scheme, the corresponding components in the deodorization and purification mechanism are controlled to operate. Among them, different target operation schemes have different corresponding execution components. Therefore, after determining the target operation plan, the corresponding execution component is determined based on the target operation plan to control the operation of the execution component.

[0041] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is used to detect indoor air parameters when the air conditioner is started. Based on the changes in the indoor air parameters, the target operation plan of the air conditioner is determined. The corresponding components in the deodorization and purification mechanism are controlled to execute the target operation plan. In this way, different plans are selected in combination with the changes in the indoor air parameters. The corresponding components are controlled to operate to purify the indoor air. The indoor air is improved and the user's comfort is improved.

[0042] Optionally, the indoor air parameters include concentrations of PM2.5 and volatile organic compounds; in step S102, the processor determines a target operation plan of the air conditioner according to changes in the indoor air parameters, including:

[0043] The processor determines that the target operation scheme of the air conditioner is a purification operation scheme when the concentration of indoor PM2.5 is greater than a first concentration threshold and the concentration of volatile organic compounds remains unchanged.

[0044] When the increase rate of the indoor PM2.5 concentration is greater than the first rate and the increase rate of the volatile organic compound concentration is greater than the second rate, the processor determines that the target operation scheme of the air conditioner is the water washing operation scheme.

[0045] Here, different operation plans are set for different changes in kitchen air conditioning parameters. Specifically, when the indoor PM2.5 concentration is greater than the first concentration threshold and the concentration of volatile organic compounds remains unchanged, it indicates that no cooking is done in the kitchen, that is, no large amount of oil smoke is produced. In this case, the target operation plan of the air conditioner is determined to be the purification operation plan. That is, the PM2.5 in the kitchen air is purified without the need to deal with the oil smoke. When the indoor PM2.5 concentration increase rate is greater than the first rate, and the volatile organic compound concentration increase rate is greater than the second rate, it indicates that cooking is in progress in the kitchen, so the oil smoke change rate is fast and the PM2.5 concentration is also increasing. In this case, not only PM2.5 needs to be purified, but also the oil smoke, that is, volatile organic compounds in the air need to be purified. Therefore, the target operation plan of the air conditioner is determined to be the water washing operation plan.

[0046] In some embodiments, the processor determines the size of the indoor PM2.5 concentration, the volatile organic compound concentration and the preset concentration threshold. Then, according to the judgment result, the target operation scheme of the air conditioner is determined. For example, when the indoor PM2.5 concentration is greater than the first concentration threshold, and the volatile organic compound concentration is greater than the second concentration threshold, the target operation scheme of the air conditioner is determined to be the water washing operation scheme.

[0047] In addition, the constant concentration of volatile organic compounds means that it is relatively constant or the change is less than a preset range. Generally, when the kitchen is not in a cooking state, the concentration of volatile organic compounds remains basically constant.

[0048] Optionally, in step S103, the processor controls the operation of corresponding components in the deodorization and purification mechanism according to the target operation scheme, including:

[0049] When the target operation scheme is a purification operation scheme, the processor controls the operation of the purification components in the deodorization and purification mechanism.

[0050] When the target operation scheme is a water-washing operation scheme, the processor controls the operation of the purification component and the water-washing component in the deodorization and purification mechanism.

[0051] Here, based on the determined target operation scheme, the operation of the corresponding components is controlled. Specifically, when the target operation scheme is the purification operation scheme, the operation of the purification component in the deodorization purification mechanism is controlled. The filter net of the purification component is controlled to extend and cover the air inlet duct. In this way, the air entering from the air inlet flows through the filter net for filtering to adsorb impurities such as suspended particles in the air intake. When the target operation scheme is the water washing operation scheme, the operation of the purification component and the water washing component is controlled. The water pump in the purification component is controlled to start to provide water to the atomization component, and the atomization component sprays atomized water to wet the air entering the air inlet. When the wetted air flows through the water receiving tray, condensation forms condensed water and the oil in the condensed water is separated. The oil gathers to form oil droplets and is collected at the bottom of the water receiving tray. And it flows into the oil collecting box through the water receiving tray. In this way, when the indoor air is heavy in oil smoke, the water washing component can purify the oil in the air. Further, the air after oil separation continues to circulate to the purification component and adsorbs impurities through the filter net. Then it is sent to the kitchen through the outlet of the heat exchanger.

[0052] Optionally, in step S103, the processor controls the water washing component in the deodorization and purification mechanism to operate, including:

[0053] The faster the rate at which the concentration of volatile organic compounds increases, the faster the atomization rate of the water wash component.

[0054] In this way, when the concentration of volatile organic compounds changes rapidly, the atomization speed is faster, so as to ensure that the oil in the air can be separated from the air by condensed water.

[0055] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0056] S101, when the air conditioner is started, the sensor detects indoor air parameters.

[0057] S102: The processor determines a target operation plan of the air conditioner according to changes in indoor air parameters.

[0058] S103, the processor controls the operation of corresponding components in the deodorization and purification mechanism according to the target operation plan.

[0059] S204, after a preset time, the sensor detects the air odor concentration at the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0060] S205, when the air odor concentration is greater than the odor threshold, the processor controls the deodorization component in the deodorization and purification mechanism to operate.

[0061] Here, after the air conditioner runs for a preset period of time according to the target operation scheme, the air odor at the air conditioning outlet is detected. If the detection value is greater than the preset odor threshold, it indicates that the oil smoke is heavy or the air conditioner has been running for a long time and oil has accumulated. Therefore, the air outlet of the air conditioner has an odor. In this case, the deodorization component in the deodorization and purification mechanism is controlled to operate. Specifically, the lid of the deodorization box is controlled to open, and the heating module is controlled to work at the same time. The volatilization rate of the solid deodorant is controlled to purify the incoming air and eliminate the odor. Among them, the greater the difference between the odor detection value and the first odor threshold, the greater the opening of the deodorization box lid, and the heating power of the heating module is relatively higher. In this way, the solid deodorant is helped to volatilize, so as to improve the purification effect of the air odor. In addition, it can be understood that when it is detected that the air odor at the outlet is less than or equal to the odor threshold, the deodorization component is controlled to stop running.

[0065] S403, determine the size of the PM2.5 concentration and the first concentration threshold, and the size of the VOC concentration and the second concentration threshold; if the PM2.5 concentration is greater than the first concentration threshold (PM2.5>PM1), and the VOC concentration is unchanged and the concentration value is substantially zero, execute S404; if PM2.5>PM1, and VOC>VOC1, execute S405; if PM2.5≤PM1, and VOC=0, execute S409;

[0066] S404, determining that the air conditioner executes a purification operation plan and controlling the purification component to operate; then executing S406;

[0067] S405, determining that the air conditioner executes the water washing operation plan, and controlling the operation of the purification component and the water washing component;

[0071] S409, controlling the deodorization and purification mechanism of the air conditioner to turn off.
