[0060] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are only exemplary and explanatory, and cannot limit the present disclosure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0070] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the present invention. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0071] Regarding the device in the above embodiments, the specific manners in which each module performs operations have been described in detail in the embodiments related to the method, and will not be elaborated here.

[0072] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a control method shown according to an exemplary embodiment; as Figure 1 shown, the control method includes the following steps:

[0073] Step S11: In the stable mode, obtain the equivalent frequency within a predetermined duration, where the equivalent frequency is determined based at least on the frequency mean within the predetermined duration;

[0074] Step S12: Based on the equivalent frequency, determine the load level corresponding to the equivalent frequency.

[0075] The method described in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be executed by a device. The device may be, but is not limited to, various devices with temperature control; for example, it may be an air conditioner, a heater, or an electrical appliance with a compressor, etc. The temperature control may be heating control or cooling control. The device may also be various terminals; for example, the terminal is a computer, a mobile communication device, or a server that establishes a communication connection with the air conditioner, etc.

[0076] Here, the predetermined duration may be less than or equal to the first duration and greater than or equal to the second duration. Exemplarily, the predetermined duration may be 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, or 1 hour, etc. The first duration is the duration for which the device or the room is in the predetermined mode.

[0077] Here, the frequency mean may be the mean of the operating frequencies within the predetermined duration. Exemplarily, the predetermined duration is 30 minutes, and the operating frequencies of the device are collected 10 times within these 30 minutes; then the frequency mean is the mean of these 10 collected operating frequencies.

[0078] In one embodiment, the method further includes: obtaining the mean of the operating frequencies within the predetermined duration.

[0079] Here, the load may refer to the heat dissipation capacity of the room. It can be understood that there is a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the room, then the room will continuously dissipate or absorb heat; the load can be used to measure the heat absorption or heat dissipation capacity of the room. The load level may be a way of dividing the load into multiple levels; for example, it may be divided into the 1st to the Nth load levels, where N is an integer greater than 1.

[0080] In one embodiment, the load is divided into 3 load levels; the 3 load levels are the 1st load level, the 2nd load level, and the 3rd load level respectively.

[0081] In another embodiment, the load is divided into 7 load levels; the 7 load levels may be the 1st to the 7th load levels respectively. Here, the magnitude of the load is positively correlated with the magnitude of the load level; for example, in these 7 load levels, the 1st load level is the smallest and the 7th load level is the largest.

[0082] Here, the magnitude of the equivalent frequency is positively correlated with the load level. For example, the smaller the equivalent frequency, the lower the load level; the larger the equivalent frequency, the higher the load level.

[0083] In step S11, the stable mode may refer to: the stable state of the environment or the device being in the stable mode. Here, the stable state of the environment may be that the room enters the stable state. Here, the stable mode may be any relatively stable state; for example, the difference between the outdoor environmental temperature and the indoor environmental temperature is less than a predetermined temperature; or, the difference between the maximum operating frequency and the minimum operating frequency of the device within a predetermined time duration is less than a predetermined frequency; or, the operating duration of the device in the cooling mode or the heating mode is greater than a predetermined time duration; and so on.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the device or the environment is in the stable mode, the device may obtain an equivalent frequency determined at least by the average frequency within a predetermined time duration, and determine the corresponding load level based on the equivalent frequency; thus, the influence of the operating frequency of the device is considered, and the appropriate load level of the environment (such as a room) is identified, that is, the appropriate load of the environment is identified. Moreover, since it is not necessary to rely on external data or data of positioning sensors outside the device, etc., the load level of the environment can be identified; thereby, the intelligence of the device can also be improved.

[0085] Furthermore, since the load level of the environment (such as a room) can be identified, that is, the load magnitude of the environment can be identified, it is beneficial to adjust the device (such as an air conditioner, etc.) for precise control of the room temperature.

[0086] For example, when the load of the environment is relatively large, it is beneficial to quickly increase or decrease the temperature so that the device operates effectively; or, when the load of the environment is relatively small, it is not necessary to quickly increase or decrease the temperature to improve the operating performance of the device, etc.

[0087] In some embodiments, before the above step S11, it is determined that the device or the room enters the stable mode.

[0088] In some embodiments, the method includes: within the predetermined time duration of the predetermined mode, if at least one of the following conditions is satisfied, it is determined to enter the steady state mode:

[0089] The maximum value of the indoor environmental temperature and the minimum value of the indoor environmental temperature are less than or equal to a first temperature, and the absolute value of the current indoor environmental temperature and the average value of the indoor environmental temperature is less than or equal to a second temperature; wherein, the first temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature;

[0090] The difference between a first frequency and a second frequency is less than or equal to a third frequency, or the second frequency is less than or equal to a fourth frequency; wherein, the first frequency is the maximum operating frequency within the predetermined time duration; the second frequency is the minimum operating frequency within the predetermined time duration; the third frequency is greater than or equal to the fourth frequency.

[0091] Here, the preset duration is any time period after the preset mode. For example, when the air conditioner starts running, it is the 0th hour. It enters the preset mode at the 1st hour after running, and the preset duration is 30 minutes. Then the preset duration can be the time from the 1st hour to the 1.5th hour, or it can be the time from the 1.5th hour to the 2nd hour, or it can be the time from the 2nd hour to the 2.5th hour, etc.

[0092] Here, the preset duration can also be the preset duration before entering the stable mode. For example, when the air conditioner starts running, it is the 0th hour. It is in the preset mode from the 0th to the 1.5th hour and enters the stable mode after 1.5 hours. Then the preset duration can be the time from the 1st to the 1.5th hour.

[0093] In one embodiment, the preset mode is the mode before entering the stable mode. This preset mode can be considered a prerequisite for entering the stable mode. Only when the device or the room enters the preset mode is it eligible to determine whether the device or the room enters the stable mode.

[0094] Of course, in other embodiments, it is also possible to determine whether the device or the room enters the stable mode without the device or the room entering the preset mode. Here, the device can directly determine whether the device or the room enters the stable mode. For example, when the device determines that at least one of the following conditions is met, it determines to enter the stable mode:

[0095] The maximum value of the indoor environmental temperature and the minimum value of the indoor environmental temperature are less than or equal to the first temperature, and the absolute value of the current indoor environmental temperature and the average value of the indoor environmental temperature is less than or equal to the second temperature; wherein, the first temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature;

[0096] The difference between the first frequency and the second frequency is less than or equal to the third frequency, or the second frequency is less than or equal to the fourth frequency; wherein, the first frequency is the maximum operating frequency within the preset duration; the second frequency is the minimum operating frequency within the preset duration; the third frequency is greater than or equal to the fourth frequency.

[0097] Here, the average value of the indoor environmental temperature is the average value of the indoor environmental temperature within the preset duration. Exemplarily, the preset duration is 30 minutes. The indoor environmental temperature is collected 10 times within these 30 minutes, and the average value of the indoor environmental temperature is the average value of these 10 indoor environmental temperatures.

[0098] Here, the maximum value of the indoor environmental temperature is the maximum value of the indoor environmental temperature within a predetermined duration; the minimum value of the indoor environmental temperature is the minimum value of the indoor environmental temperature within a predetermined duration. Exemplarily, the predetermined duration is 30 minutes; within these 30 minutes, the indoor environmental temperature changes 6 times, and the 6 indoor environmental temperatures are 16°C, 18°C, 20°C, 22°C, 24°C, and 26°C respectively; then the maximum value of the indoor environmental temperature is 26°C, and the minimum value of the indoor environmental temperature is 16°C.

[0099] In one embodiment, the first temperature can be less than or equal to 5°C. Exemplarily, the first temperature can be 3°C, 2.5°C, 1.5°C, or 1.5°C, etc.

[0100] In one embodiment, the second temperature can be less than or equal to 3°C. Exemplarily, the second temperature can be 1.5°C, 1°C, or 0.8°C, etc.

[0101] In one embodiment, the third frequency can be less than or equal to 10 HZ. Exemplarily, the first frequency can be 8 HZ, 6 HZ, 5 HZ, or 4 HZ, etc.

[0102] In one embodiment, the fourth frequency can be less than or equal to 5 HZ. Exemplarily, the second frequency can be 0 HZ or 1 HZ, etc.

[0103] Exemplarily, when the device or the room enters the predetermined mode, within the predetermined duration of 30 minutes, if the conditions of T_indoor_max - T_indoor_min ≤ 2.5°C and |T_indoor - T| ≤ 1°C are satisfied, and / or the conditions of F_max - F_min ≤ 6 Hz or F_min = 0 are satisfied; then it is determined that the device or the room enters the stable mode. Wherein, T_indoor_max is the maximum value of the indoor environmental temperature within 30 minutes, T_indoor_min is the minimum value of the indoor environmental temperature within 30 minutes; T_indoor is the current indoor environmental temperature; T is the average value of the indoor environmental temperature within 30 minutes; 2.5°C is the first temperature, and 1°C is the second temperature. F_max is the first frequency, that is, the maximum operating frequency of the device within 30 minutes; F_min is the second frequency, that is, the minimum operating frequency of the device within 30 minutes; 6 HZ is the third frequency, and 0 is the fourth frequency.

[0104] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the indoor ambient temperature within a predetermined duration of the device is less than or equal to the first temperature, and the absolute value of the current indoor ambient temperature and the average value of the indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the second temperature, and / or the difference between the maximum operating frequency and the minimum operating frequency of the device within the duration is less than or equal to the third frequency, or the minimum operating frequency is less than the fourth frequency, etc., it is accurately determined that the device or the room enters the stable mode. And when the device or the room enters the stable mode, when identifying the load level, a more accurate load level can be identified.

[0105] Of course, in other embodiments, if the device or the room is in an unstable mode, the load level can also be identified based on the method provided in the present disclosure; at this time, the load level can also be determined relatively accurately.

[0106] In some embodiments, the method includes: before determining that the device or the room enters the stable mode, determining that the device or the room enters a predetermined mode.

[0107] In some embodiments, the method includes: if the device meets at least one of the following conditions, determining to enter the predetermined mode: [[ID=ll]]

[0108] The operating time of the device in the cooling mode or the heating mode is greater than the first duration;

[0109] The device is in the cooling mode or the heating mode, and there is no mode conversion between the cooling mode and the heating mode of the device;

[0110] If the device is in the heating mode, the maximum change temperature of the outer pipe temperature of the device within the predetermined duration before reaching the first duration is less than or equal to the third temperature.

[0111] Here, the first duration is greater than or equal to the predetermined duration. Exemplarily, the first duration can be 1 hour, 1.2 hours, 1.5 hours, 1.8 hours, etc.

[0112] Here, if the first duration is 1.5 hours and the predetermined duration is 30 minutes; then the predetermined duration before reaching the first duration can be: from the 1st hour to the 1.5th hour, or from the 0.8th hour to the 1.3th hour, or from the 0.9th hour to the 1.4th hour, or the 0.5th hour or the 1st hour, etc.

[0113] Here, the maximum change temperature within the predetermined duration refers to the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the outer pipe temperature within the predetermined duration.

[0114] Here, the third temperature may be: the temperature at which the outdoor unit of the air conditioner does not frost when the air conditioner is in the heating state. Alternatively, the third temperature may also be less than or equal to the second temperature. Exemplarily, the third temperature is 1°C.

[0115] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the device meets at least one of the conditions that the device operation time exceeds the first duration, the device is in the cooling or cooling mode and there is no mode conversion, and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner does not frost when the device is in the cooling mode, it can be accurately determined that the device or the room enters the predetermined mode. Thus, in the predetermined mode, it can be accurately determined that the device enters the stable mode and the load level of the room in the stable mode can be accurately determined.

[0116] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, obtaining the equivalent frequency within the predetermined duration in step S11 includes one of the following:

[0117] Step S111: Determine the equivalent frequency based on the frequency mean value and the first correction parameter within the predetermined duration; wherein, the first correction parameter is determined based on the difference between the indoor environmental temperature and the outdoor environmental temperature;

[0118] Step S112: Determine the equivalent frequency based on the frequency mean value and the second correction parameter within the predetermined duration; wherein, the second correction parameter is determined based on the number of shutdowns within the predetermined duration and a preset constant;

[0119] Step S113: Determine the equivalent frequency based on the frequency mean value, the first correction parameter, and the second correction parameter within the predetermined duration.

[0120] Here, the indoor environmental temperature and the outdoor environmental temperature in the first correction parameter may respectively be: the mean value of the indoor environmental temperature and the outdoor environmental temperature within the predetermined duration; or the maximum value of the indoor environmental temperature and the maximum value of the outdoor environmental temperature within the predetermined duration; or the minimum value of the indoor environmental temperature and the minimum value of the outdoor environmental temperature within the predetermined duration; or the current indoor environmental temperature and the current outdoor environmental temperature within the predetermined duration.

[0121] In some embodiments, the method further includes: obtaining the indoor environmental temperature and the outdoor environmental temperature within the predetermined duration.

[0122] In one embodiment, a way to determine the first correction parameter is:

[0123] For the cooling mode, the first correction parameter Or

[0124] For the heating mode, the first correction parameter Or

[0125] Wherein, A is a predetermined minimum temperature; C is a predetermined maximum temperature; T_outdoor is the outdoor ambient temperature, such as the current outdoor ambient temperature; T_indoor is the indoor ambient temperature, such as the current indoor ambient temperature; B and D are constants, B can take 0.8, and D can take 1.1. Exemplarily, A is 16°C and C is 30°C.

[0126] In another embodiment, a method for determining the first correction parameter is as follows:

[0127] For the cooling mode, the first correction parameter is: β = A + E×(T_outdoor - T_indoor), or β = A + E×(T_outdoor - T_indoor) + F×T_outdoor 2 - G×T_indoor 2 + K×T_outdoor×T_indoor; for the heating mode, the first correction parameter is: β = A + E×(T_indoor - T_outdoor), or, β = A + E'×(T_outdoor - T_indoor) + F'×T_indoor 2 - G'×T_outdoor 2 + K'×T_outdoor×T_indoor; wherein, A can be a predetermined minimum temperature, B is a predetermined maximum temperature; E, F, G, and K are constants for the cooling mode, and E', F', G', and K' are constants for the heating mode.

[0128] In one embodiment, the step S111 includes: determining an equivalent frequency based on the product of the first correction parameter and the frequency mean within a predetermined duration.

[0129] Exemplarily, if the frequency mean within the predetermined duration is the first correction parameter within the predetermined duration is β; then the equivalent frequency within the predetermined duration

[0130] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, considering that the temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor environments can have a certain impact on the heat dissipation degree of the room; for example, the larger the temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor, the more serious the heat dissipation or heat absorption can be, and it will also lead to lower operating efficiency of the compressor; because considering the influence of the indoor-outdoor temperature difference on the heat dissipation or heat absorption of the room, the accuracy of load level determination can be improved.

[0131] In one embodiment, the number of shutdowns can also be the number of temperature-reached shutdowns. Exemplarily, the predetermined temperature is 26°C. For the cooling mode, if the shutdown occurs at 24°C, it can be a temperature-reached shutdown.

[0132] In one embodiment, the preset constant may be the minimum operating cycle. Exemplarily, within a preset time duration, frequency-temperature shutdown or shutdown may occur, and when starting up, the compressor of the device needs to be protected and a stable period is required; then this stable period is the minimum operating cycle. Exemplarily, the minimum operating cycle can be set to 3 minutes.

[0133] In some embodiments, the method further includes: obtaining the number of shutdowns within a preset time duration and a preset constant; wherein the preset constant is the minimum operating cycle within the preset time duration.

[0134] In one embodiment, a way to determine the second correction parameter is: the second correction parameter where λ is the number of shutdowns or the number of temperature-reached shutdowns within a preset time duration; θ is the preset constant, that is, the minimum operating cycle; wherein, the minimum operating cycles of the refrigeration mode and the heating mode may be the same; for example, θ is 3; H is a constant, for example, H is 120.

[0135] In some embodiments, step S112 includes: determining the equivalent frequency based on the product of the second correction parameter and the average frequency within a preset time duration.

[0136] Exemplarily, if the average frequency within a preset time duration is the second correction parameter within a preset time duration is α; then the equivalent frequency within a preset time duration

[0137] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, considering that the device (air conditioner) will lose a part of its capacity during the shutdown and startup processes; for example, if the number of shutdowns is relatively large, the actual capacity of the heating or cooling effect of the air conditioner will be relatively low, and at this time the load level is relatively lower. For example, the operating frequency of the air conditioner is 20HZ. If the number of shutdowns is relatively large, the actual frequency is lower than 20HZ (such as 16HZ); if the actual air conditioner is 16HZ and still needs to maintain a stable 20HZ, then compared with maintaining a stable 20HZ when the actual frequency is 20HZ, the room load is smaller. Thus, considering the number of device shutdowns (that is, introducing the number of device shutdowns to correct the equivalent frequency), the load level of the room can be more accurately determined.

[0138] In some embodiments, step S113 includes: determining the equivalent frequency based on the product of the average frequency, the first correction parameter, and the second correction parameter within a preset time duration.

[0139] Exemplarily, if the average frequency within a preset time duration is the first correction parameter within a preset time duration is β, and the second correction parameter within a preset time duration is α; then the equivalent frequency within a preset time duration

[0140] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when determining the load level of a room, not only the influence of the operating frequency of the device on the room load is considered, but also the influence of the temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor environments and the number of shutdowns of the device on the room load is considered; in this way, the load level can be determined more accurately.

[0141] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, step S12 includes:

[0142] Step S121: Based on the equivalent frequency range to which the equivalent frequency belongs and the corresponding information, determine the load level corresponding to the equivalent frequency range; wherein, the corresponding information includes the corresponding relationship between at least one equivalent frequency range and the load level.

[0143] Here, one equivalent frequency range corresponds to one load level; the load levels corresponding to each equivalent frequency range are different.

[0144] Exemplarily, the equivalent frequency ranges may include 7 equivalent frequency ranges of [0, 12], (12, 18], (18, 24], (24, 36], (36, 60], (60, 90], and (90, ∞); these 7 equivalent frequency ranges respectively correspond to the 1st load level, the 2nd load level, the 3rd load level, the 4th load level, the 5th load level, the 6th load level, and the 7th load level in sequence; the corresponding information may include the above 7 equivalent frequency ranges and the 7 load levels corresponding to these 7 equivalent frequency levels. For example, if the device determines that the current equivalent frequency is 10HZ, then it can be determined that the equivalent frequency range to which the equivalent frequency belongs is [0, 12]; the device determines, based on this equivalent frequency range [0, 12] and the corresponding information, that the load level corresponding to this equivalent frequency range [0, 12] is the 1st load level. Another example, if the device determines that the equivalent frequency is 30, then it can be determined that the equivalent frequency range of the equivalent frequency is (24, 36]; the device determines, based on this equivalent frequency range (24, 36] and the corresponding relationship, that the load level of this equivalent frequency range (24, 36] is the 2nd load level.

[0145] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the load level of a room or the like can be accurately determined based on the equivalent frequency range to which the equivalent frequency belongs.

[0146] In some embodiments, the corresponding information includes: the corresponding relationship between at least one first equivalent frequency range and the load level, and / or, the corresponding relationship between at least one second equivalent frequency range and the load level.

[0147] As Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, step S121 determines the load level corresponding to the equivalent frequency range based on the equivalent frequency range to which the equivalent frequency belongs and the corresponding information, including:

[0148] Step S121A: Based on the device operating in the cooling mode and the equivalent frequency, determine the first equivalent frequency range to which the equivalent frequency belongs;

[0149] Step S121B: Based on the first equivalent frequency range and the corresponding information, determine the load level corresponding to the first equivalent frequency range;

[0150] Or,

[0151] Step S121C: Based on the device operating in the heating mode and the equivalent frequency, determine the second equivalent frequency range to which the equivalent frequency belongs;

[0152] Step S121D: Based on the second equivalent frequency range and the corresponding information, determine the load level corresponding to the second equivalent frequency range.

[0153] Here, the equivalent frequency range includes: the first equivalent frequency range and / or the second equivalent frequency range. Here, the first equivalent frequency range may be the equivalent frequency range to which the equivalent frequency in the cooling mode belongs; the second equivalent frequency range may be the equivalent frequency range to which the equivalent frequency in the heating mode belongs.

[0154] Exemplarily, as shown in Table 1 below, for the cooling mode, the first equivalent frequency range may include 7 equivalent frequency ranges of [0, 12], (12, 18], (18, 24], (24, 36], (36, 60], (60, 90], and (90, ∞); for the heating mode, the second equivalent frequency range may include 7 equivalent frequency ranges of [0, 24], (24, 40], (40, 55], (55, 75], (75, 90], (90, 120], and (120, ∞); the load level may include the 1st to 7th load levels. The corresponding information may include: the 7 equivalent frequency ranges of [0, 12], (12, 18], (18, 24], (24, 36], (36, 60], (60, 90], and (90, ∞) in the first equivalent frequency range and the 1st to 7th load levels respectively corresponding to these 7 first equivalent frequency ranges, and / or the 7 equivalent frequency ranges of [0, 24], (24, 40], (40, 55], (55, 75], (75, 90], (90, 120], and (120, ∞) in the second equivalent frequency range and the 1st to 7th load levels respectively corresponding to these 7 second equivalent frequencies.

[0155]

[0156] Table 1

[0157] Based on the above embodiments, if the device is operating in the cooling mode and it is determined that the first equivalent frequency range to which the equivalent frequency of the device belongs is (12, 18]; then the device queries Table 1 above and knows that the load level of the room is the second load level. Alternatively, if the device is operating in the heating mode and it is determined that the second equivalent frequency range to which the equivalent frequency of the device belongs is (40, 55], then the device queries Table 1 above and knows that the load level of the room is the third load level.

[0158] It can be understood that each element in Table 1 above exists independently. These elements are exemplarily listed in the same table, but it does not mean that all elements in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in the table. The value of each element is independent of the values of any other elements in Table 1. Therefore, those skilled in the art can understand that the value of each element in Table 1 is an independent embodiment.

[0159] In some embodiments, the method further includes: the device stores the corresponding information, or the device obtains the corresponding information from a terminal or a server. Exemplarily, Table 1 above is stored in the database of the device.

[0160] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, for different modes, such as the cooling mode or the heating mode, based on different equivalent frequency ranges (the first equivalent frequency range or the second equivalent frequency range) to which the equivalent frequency belongs, the load level of the environment (such as a room) can be accurately determined. Thus, the operating performance of the device can be improved; for example, for an environment with a relatively high load level, that is, a relatively large load, the temperature can be quickly raised or lowered to ensure the effective operation of the device. Another example is that for an environment with a relatively low load level, that is, a relatively small load, there is no need to quickly raise or lower the temperature, etc., which can reduce device losses and improve the energy efficiency of device operation.

[0161] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, step S12 includes step S122; wherein, step S122 includes:

[0162] Step S122A: If there are multiple said equivalent frequencies, determine the mean of the multiple said equivalent frequencies as the equivalent frequency mean;

[0163] Step S122B: Based on the equivalent frequency mean, determine the load level corresponding to the equivalent frequency mean.

[0164] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, "a plurality" may be two or more. Here, the device may obtain a plurality of equivalent frequencies based on a plurality of predetermined time lengths; wherein, one predetermined time length corresponds to an equivalent frequency mean value.

[0165] Exemplarily, the device may obtain the equivalent frequencies within a plurality of predetermined time lengths; for example, when the device enters the stable mode (for example, 1.5 hours). For example, the device may obtain the first equivalent frequency F_dengxiao1 from the 1st to 1.5th hour, the second equivalent frequency F_dengxiao2 from the 1.5th to 2nd hour, and the third equivalent frequency F_dengxiao3 from the 2nd to 2.5th hour; then the device determines that the equivalent frequency mean value is

[0166] In one embodiment, step S122B includes: determining the load level corresponding to the equivalent frequency interval based on the equivalent frequency interval to which the equivalent frequency mean value belongs and the corresponding information; wherein, the corresponding information includes: the corresponding relationship between at least one of the equivalent frequency intervals and the load level.

[0167] In one embodiment, step S122B includes: determining the first equivalent frequency interval to which the equivalent frequency mean value belongs based on the device operating in the cooling mode and the equivalent frequency mean value; determining the load level corresponding to the first equivalent frequency interval based on the first equivalent frequency interval and the corresponding information; wherein, the corresponding information includes: the corresponding relationship between at least one of the first equivalent frequency intervals and the load level.

[0168] In one embodiment, step S122B includes: determining the second equivalent frequency interval to which the equivalent frequency mean value belongs based on the device operating in the heating mode and the equivalent frequency mean value; determining the load level corresponding to the second equivalent frequency interval based on the second equivalent frequency interval and the corresponding information; wherein, the corresponding information includes: the corresponding relationship between at least one of the second equivalent frequency intervals and the load level.

[0169] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the equivalent frequency mean value can be determined based on the equivalent frequencies determined multiple times, and then the load level corresponding to the equivalent frequency mean value can be determined. In this way, the equivalent frequencies within more predetermined time lengths can be considered, and a more accurate load level can be obtained.

[0170] In some embodiments, the method includes: adjusting the temperature of the device based on the load level.

[0171] In some embodiments, the adjusting the temperature of the device based on the load level includes at least one of the following:

[0172] If the load level is greater than a predetermined load level, determine to increase at least one of the temperature and the operating frequency of the device at a first rate, or decrease at least one of the temperature and the operating frequency of the device at a first rate;

[0173] If the load level is less than or equal to the predetermined load level, determine to increase at least one of the temperature and the operating rate of the device at a second rate, or decrease at least one of the temperature and the operating frequency of the device at a first rate;

[0174] Wherein, the first rate is greater than the second rate.

[0175] Here, the predetermined load level is greater than or equal to the first load level and less than or equal to the seventh load level. Exemplarily, the predetermined load level is the third load level, the fourth load level or the fifth load level.

[0176] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, for an environment with a relatively high load level, that is, a relatively large load, the temperature can be quickly increased or decreased to ensure the effective operation of the device. Or, for an environment with a relatively small load level, that is, a relatively small load, there is no need to quickly increase or decrease the temperature, etc., which can reduce the device loss and improve the device operation energy efficiency, etc.

[0177] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0178] To further explain any embodiment of the present disclosure, a specific example is provided.

[0179] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control method, which is executed by a device and includes:

[0180] Step S21: If the device determines that the device meets at least one of the following conditions, determine to enter a predetermined mode:

[0181] The operating time of the device in the cooling mode or the heating mode is greater than 1.5 hours;

[0182] The device is in the cooling mode or the cooling mode, and there is no mode conversion between the cooling mode and the heating mode for the device;

[0183] If the device is in the heating mode, the maximum temperature of the outer tube of the device between the first hour and the 1.5th hour is less than or equal to 1 °C.

[0184] Here, the device start time is the 0th hour.

[0185] Step S22: If it is determined that at least one of the following conditions is satisfied within an arbitrary predetermined duration (e.g., 30 minutes) after the device enters the predetermined mode or within the predetermined duration before the end of the predetermined mode, it is determined to enter the stable mode:

[0188] Wherein, T_indoor_max is the maximum indoor ambient temperature within 30 minutes, T_indoor_min is the minimum indoor ambient temperature within 30 minutes; T_indoor is the current indoor ambient temperature; T is the average indoor ambient temperature within 30 minutes.

[0189] Here, the arbitrary predetermined duration after the device enters the predetermined mode can be any duration after 1.5 hours. The predetermined duration before the end of the predetermined mode can be the time from the 1st hour to the 1.5th hour.

[0190] Step S23: The device determines the equivalent frequency of at least one predetermined duration

[0191] Wherein, F_dengxiao is the equivalent frequency of the predetermined duration;

Exemplarily, A is 16°C, C is 30°C, B is 0.8, and D is 1.1.

[0193] α is the second correction parameter, and the second correction parameter Wherein, λ is the number of shutdowns within the predetermined duration or the number of shutdowns due to reaching the temperature; θ is the preset constant, that is, the minimum operation period, and the minimum operation periods for cooling / heating are the same. Exemplarily, θ is 3; H is a constant, such as H is 120.

[0194] Step S24: The device determines the load level corresponding to the equivalent frequency range based on the equivalent frequency range to which the equivalent frequency belongs and the corresponding information; wherein, the equivalent frequency range includes a first equivalent frequency range and a second equivalent frequency range; the corresponding information includes: the corresponding relationship between at least one first equivalent frequency range and the load level, and / or, the corresponding relationship between at least one second equivalent frequency range and the load level. Here, the corresponding information can be as shown in Table 1 above.

[0195] Here, if the device determines multiple equivalent frequencies within a plurality of predetermined time durations, the average value of the multiple equivalent frequencies can be used; and based on the equivalent frequency range to which the average value of the equivalent frequencies belongs and the corresponding information, the load level corresponding to the equivalent frequency range is determined. Here, the corresponding information can also be as shown in Table 1.
