[0022] It should be understood that when an element (such as a layer, film, region, or substrate) is described as being "on" another element, the element can be directly on the other element, or there can also be intermediate elements. Moreover, in the specification and claims, when an element is described as being "connected" to another element, the element can be "directly connected" to the other element, or "connected" to the other element through a third element.

[0023] As described in the background art, the concentration of the released fragrance cannot be controlled in the prior art. To solve the above problems, in a typical embodiment of the present application, a method for releasing air-conditioning fragrance, a releasing device, a computer-readable storage medium, and an air-conditioning system are provided.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present application, a method for releasing air-conditioning fragrance is provided. The air conditioner includes a fragrance module, and the fragrance module includes one or more accommodating cavities. Each accommodating cavity is used to store a fragrance of a fragrance type, and a release window is provided on the accommodating cavity.

[0025] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a method for releasing air-conditioning fragrance according to an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S101, obtaining a target fragrance type, the optimal concentration corresponding to the target fragrance type, the mapping relationship between the release rate of the target fragrance type and temperature, and the space volume. The target fragrance type is the fragrance type selected by the user. The optimal concentration corresponds one-to-one with the fragrance type, and the space volume is the volume of the space where the air conditioner is located;

[0027] It should be noted that when the air conditioner is powered on and operates in the fragrance mode, a user fragrance type instruction is obtained to determine that the fragrance type selected by the user is the target fragrance type. The space volume is related to parameters such as the air conditioner's horsepower, or cooling capacity, or air conditioner specification, or recommended usage area, etc. The parameters include less than 1 horsepower (2300W, 23 models, area < 10m2), 1 horsepower (2600W, 26 models, area 10 - 15m2), less than 1.5 horsepower (3200W, 32 models, area 14 - 18m2), 1.5 horsepower (3500W, 35 models, area 16 - 20m2), 2 horsepower (5000W, 50 models, area 20 - 30m2), 3 horsepower (7200W, 72 models, area 30 - 40m2), etc. Of course, the size of the space volume can also be entered by the installer according to the specific installation conditions when the air conditioner is installed. Moreover, each fragrance type has a mapping relationship table between the release rate and temperature, and the corresponding release rate can be queried according to the temperature.

[0028] In addition, in an optional embodiment, the process of obtaining the optimal concentration corresponding to the target fragrance type includes:

[0029] Step S201: Obtain the target temperature, the current ambient temperature, and the current relative humidity of the above-mentioned air conditioner.

[0030] Step S202: Calculate the target relative humidity based on the above-mentioned target temperature, the current ambient temperature, and the current relative humidity. The above-mentioned target relative humidity is the relative humidity at the above-mentioned target temperature.

[0031] Step S203: Determine the above-mentioned optimal concentration corresponding to the above-mentioned target fragrance type by referring to the optimal concentration table according to the above-mentioned target temperature and the above-mentioned target relative humidity. The above-mentioned optimal concentration table is a comparison table of the above-mentioned optimal concentration, the fragrance type, the ambient temperature, and the relative humidity.

[0032] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the absolute humidity during the operation of the air conditioner remains almost unchanged. The absolute humidity can be calculated through the current ambient temperature and the current relative humidity, and then the relative humidity at the target temperature can be calculated based on the absolute humidity to obtain the target relative humidity. The above-mentioned target temperature and the above-mentioned target relative humidity are the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity for fragrance release. By querying the comparison table of the above-mentioned optimal concentration, the above-mentioned target fragrance type, the ambient temperature, and the relative humidity, as shown in Table 1, the optimal concentration of the above-mentioned target fragrance type at the above-mentioned target temperature and the above-mentioned target relative humidity can be obtained to ensure the best fragrance experience for the user.

[0033] Table 1

[0034] Fragrance type P <![CDATA[Ambient temperature T0]]> <![CDATA[Relative humidity RH0]]> Optimal concentration C P1 <![CDATA[T0 1 > <![CDATA[RH0 1 > C1 P1 <![CDATA[T0 2 > <![CDATA[RH0 1 > C2 P1 <![CDATA[T0 1 > <![CDATA[RH0 2 > C3 P2 <![CDATA[T0 1 > <![CDATA[RH0 1 > C4 …… …… …… ……

[0035] Of course, a fixed optimal concentration can also be directly set for each fragrance type respectively to simplify the process and improve efficiency.

[0036] Step S102: Determine the release temperature and the release duration of the fragrance corresponding to the above-mentioned target fragrance type according to the above-mentioned optimal concentration, the above-mentioned space volume, and the above-mentioned mapping relationship.

[0037] Optionally, the present application does not limit the specific process of determining the release temperature and the release duration of the fragrance corresponding to the above-mentioned target fragrance type according to the above-mentioned optimal concentration, the above-mentioned space volume, and the above-mentioned mapping relationship. Any feasible method belongs to the protection scope of the present application.

[0038] For example, in an optional embodiment, determining the release temperature and the release duration of the fragrance corresponding to the above-mentioned target fragrance type according to the above-mentioned optimal concentration, the above-mentioned space volume, and the above-mentioned mapping relationship includes:

[0039] Step S1021: Determine the above-mentioned release temperature as the temperature corresponding to the maximum value of the above-mentioned release rate according to the above-mentioned mapping relationship.

[0040] Step S1022, calculate the above-mentioned release duration according to the above-mentioned optimal concentration, the above-mentioned space volume, and the maximum value of the above-mentioned release rate.

[0041] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the temperature corresponding to the maximum value of the release rate is found by looking up a table as the release temperature. According to the above-mentioned optimal concentration and the above-mentioned space volume, the release amount can be calculated. According to the release amount and the release rate, the release time can be calculated. Since the release is carried out at the temperature corresponding to the maximum value of the release rate, the release efficiency is improved, the release time is shortened, and the user experience is further improved.

[0042] Of course, the above-mentioned release temperature needs to be within a certain range to ensure that the air conditioner can reach it, and the release time should not be too long. Preferably, the release temperature T satisfies 35°C ≤ T ≤ 55°C, and the release duration t satisfies 0 min < t ≤ 30 min.

[0043] For another example, in another optional embodiment, determining the release temperature and release duration of the fragrance corresponding to the above-mentioned target fragrance type according to the above-mentioned optimal concentration, the above-mentioned space volume, and the above-mentioned mapping relationship includes:

[0044] Step S1023, determine the target temperature of the above-mentioned air conditioner as the above-mentioned release temperature;

[0045] Step S1024, calculate the above-mentioned release duration according to the above-mentioned optimal concentration, the above-mentioned space volume, and the release rate corresponding to the above-mentioned target temperature.

[0046] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the temperature corresponding to the maximum value of the release rate is usually not reachable by the blowing temperature of the air conditioner. Therefore, the air conditioner cannot blow during the release of the fragrance at the maximum release rate. Determining the target temperature of the above-mentioned air conditioner as the above-mentioned release temperature, that is, using the blowing temperature of the above-mentioned air conditioner as the release temperature, the fragrance can be released while blowing, without waiting for the release to complete before blowing. Correspondingly, the fragrance is released at the release rate corresponding to the above-mentioned target temperature, and the corresponding above-mentioned release duration is recalculated.

[0047] Step S103, control the accommodation cavity where the fragrance of the above-mentioned target fragrance type is located to open the above-mentioned release window, and control the above-mentioned air conditioner to release the fragrance corresponding to the above-mentioned target fragrance type at the above-mentioned release temperature, and when the opening duration of the above-mentioned release window reaches the above-mentioned release duration, control the above-mentioned release window to close.

[0048] Optionally, the present application does not limit the specific process of controlling the above-mentioned air conditioner to release the fragrance corresponding to the above-mentioned target fragrance type at the above-mentioned release temperature, and any feasible method belongs to the protection scope of the present application.

[0049] For example, in an alternative embodiment, controlling the above air conditioner to release the fragrance corresponding to the above target fragrance type at the above release temperature includes:

[0050] Step S1031, closing the air deflector of the above air conditioner;

[0051] Step S1032, controlling the interior of the above air conditioner to operate at the above release temperature for the above release duration.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the temperature corresponding to the maximum value of the release rate is usually not achievable by the blowing temperature of the air conditioner. Therefore, closing the air deflector of the above air conditioner and controlling the interior of the above air conditioner to operate at the above release temperature to reach the temperature corresponding to the maximum value of the release rate and maintaining the release duration, so that the release amount reaches the release amount corresponding to the optimal concentration.

[0053] In addition, the above fragrance module is located in the air inlet passage or the air outlet passage of the above air conditioner. After closing the above release window of the above accommodation cavity corresponding to the above target fragrance type, the method further includes:

[0054] Step S301, opening the air deflector of the above air conditioner and controlling the above air conditioner to blow air.

[0055] In the above embodiment, after the release is completed, opening the air deflector of the above air conditioner and controlling the above air conditioner to blow air at a predetermined wind speed v, so that the fragrance fills the entire space and the concentration of the fragrance in the space reaches the optimal concentration. Since the fragrance is released and then blown out of the air conditioner, the blowing temperature of the air conditioner has no influence on the fragrance release. Therefore, the above fragrance module can be located in the air inlet passage or the air outlet passage of the above air conditioner, as long as it can be blown out smoothly.

[0056] For another example, in another alternative embodiment, the above fragrance module is located in the air outlet passage of the above air conditioner. Controlling the above air conditioner to release the fragrance corresponding to the above target fragrance type at the above release temperature includes:

[0057] Step S1033, opening the air deflector of the above air conditioner and controlling the above air conditioner to blow air at the above release temperature for the above release duration.

[0058] In the above embodiment, since the target temperature is used as the release temperature, that is, the blowing temperature is used as the release temperature, the fragrance module is arranged in the air outlet passage of the above air conditioner, so that the air at the target temperature blows for the release duration, so that the concentration of the fragrance in the space reaches the optimal concentration. Compared with releasing first and then blowing out, releasing the fragrance along with the blowing makes the concentration of the fragrance in the air rise more gently, and the user experience is better.

[0059] In the above method for releasing air-conditioning fragrance, first, obtain the target fragrance type, the optimal concentration corresponding to the target fragrance type, the mapping relationship between the release rate of the target fragrance type and temperature, and the space volume. The target fragrance type is the fragrance type selected by the user. The optimal concentration corresponds to the fragrance type one by one. The space volume is the volume of the space where the air conditioner is located. Then, determine the release temperature and release duration of the fragrance corresponding to the target fragrance type according to the optimal concentration, the space volume, and the mapping relationship. Finally, control the accommodation cavity where the fragrance of the target fragrance type is located to open the release window, and control the air conditioner to release the fragrance corresponding to the target fragrance type at the release temperature. When the opening duration of the release window reaches the release duration, control the release window to close. By determining the release temperature and release time according to the optimal concentration, space volume, and release rate mapping relationship, and then controlling the air conditioner to operate at the release temperature for the release time inside the air conditioner, the fragrance concentration in the space where the air conditioner is located can reach the optimal concentration, solving the problem in the prior art that the concentration of the released fragrance cannot be controlled.

[0060] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. And although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than here.

[0061] The embodiment of the present application also provides a device for releasing air-conditioning fragrance. It should be noted that the device for releasing air-conditioning fragrance in the embodiment of the present application can be used to execute the method for releasing air-conditioning fragrance provided in the embodiment of the present application. The following introduces the device for releasing air-conditioning fragrance provided in the embodiment of the present application. The air conditioner includes a fragrance module. The fragrance module includes one or more accommodation cavities. Each accommodation cavity is used to store the fragrance of a fragrance type. The accommodation cavity is provided with a release window.

[0062] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the device for releasing air-conditioning fragrance according to the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the device includes:

[0063] An acquisition unit 10, configured to acquire the target fragrance type, the optimal concentration corresponding to the target fragrance type, the mapping relationship between the release rate of the target fragrance type and temperature, and the space volume. The target fragrance type is the fragrance type selected by the user. The optimal concentration corresponds to the fragrance type one by one. The space volume is the volume of the space where the air conditioner is located.

[0064] It should be noted that when the air conditioner is powered on and operates in the fragrance mode, it obtains the user's fragrance type instruction to determine that the selected fragrance type by the user is the above-mentioned target fragrance type. The above space volume is related to parameters such as the air conditioner's horsepower, or cooling capacity, or air conditioner specifications, or recommended usage area, etc. The parameters include small 1 horsepower (2300W, 23 model, area < 10m²), 1 horsepower (2600W, 26 model, area 10 - 15m²), small 1.5 horsepower (3200W, 32 model, area 14 - 18m²), 1.5 horsepower (3500W, 35 model, area 16 - 20m²), 2 horsepower (5000W, 50 model, area 20 - 30m²), 3 horsepower (7200W, 72 model, area 30 - 40m²), etc. Of course, the size of the space volume can also be input by the installer according to the specific installation conditions during the installation of the air conditioner. And each fragrance type has a mapping relationship table of release rate and temperature, and the corresponding release rate can be queried according to the temperature.

[0065] In addition, in an optional implementation manner, the above-mentioned acquisition unit includes:

[0066] An acquisition module, configured to acquire the target temperature, the current ambient temperature, and the current relative humidity of the above-mentioned air conditioner;

[0067] A first calculation module, configured to calculate the target relative humidity according to the above-mentioned target temperature, the above-mentioned current ambient temperature, and the above-mentioned current relative humidity. The above-mentioned target relative humidity is the relative humidity at the above-mentioned target temperature;

[0068] A first determination module, configured to query the best concentration table according to the above-mentioned target temperature and the above-mentioned target relative humidity to determine the above-mentioned best concentration corresponding to the above-mentioned target fragrance type. The above-mentioned best concentration table is a comparison table of the above-mentioned best concentration, the above-mentioned fragrance type, the ambient temperature, and the relative humidity.

[0069] In the above implementation manner, the absolute humidity during the operation of the air conditioner is almost unchanged. The absolute humidity can be calculated through the current ambient temperature and the current relative humidity, and then the relative humidity at the target temperature can be calculated according to the absolute humidity to obtain the target relative humidity. The above-mentioned target temperature and the above-mentioned target relative humidity are the ambient temperature and ambient humidity for fragrance release. Query the comparison table of the above-mentioned best concentration, the above-mentioned target fragrance type, the ambient temperature, and the relative humidity, as shown in Table 1, to obtain the best concentration of the above-mentioned target fragrance type at the above-mentioned target temperature and the above-mentioned target relative humidity to ensure the best fragrance experience for the user.

[0070] Of course, a fixed best concentration can also be directly set for each fragrance type respectively to simplify the process and improve efficiency.

[0071] A determination unit 20, configured to determine the release temperature and release duration of the fragrance corresponding to the target fragrance type according to the above-mentioned optimal concentration, the above-mentioned space volume, and the above-mentioned mapping relationship;

[0072] Optionally, the present application does not limit the specific process of determining the release temperature and release duration of the fragrance corresponding to the target fragrance type according to the above-mentioned optimal concentration, the above-mentioned space volume, and the above-mentioned mapping relationship, and any feasible method belongs to the protection scope of the present application.

[0073] For example, in an optional implementation manner, the above-mentioned determination unit includes:

[0074] A second determination module, configured to determine the temperature corresponding to the maximum value of the above-mentioned release rate as the above-mentioned release temperature according to the above-mentioned mapping relationship;

[0075] A second calculation module, configured to calculate the above-mentioned release duration according to the above-mentioned optimal concentration, the above-mentioned space volume, and the maximum value of the above-mentioned release rate.

[0076] In the above implementation manner, by looking up a table to find the temperature corresponding to the maximum value of the release rate as the release temperature, the release amount can be calculated according to the above-mentioned optimal concentration and the above-mentioned space volume, and the release time can be calculated according to the release amount and the release rate. Since the release is carried out at the temperature corresponding to the maximum value of the release rate, the release efficiency is improved, the release time is shortened, and the user experience is further improved.

[0077] Of course, the above-mentioned release temperature needs to be within a certain range to ensure that the air conditioner can reach it, and the release time should not be too long. Preferably, the release temperature T satisfies 35°C ≤ T ≤ 55°C, and the release duration t satisfies 0 min < t ≤ 30 min.

[0078] For another example, in another optional implementation manner, the above-mentioned determination unit further includes:

[0079] A third determination module, configured to determine the target temperature of the above-mentioned air conditioner as the above-mentioned release temperature;

[0080] A third calculation module, configured to calculate the above-mentioned release duration according to the above-mentioned optimal concentration, the above-mentioned space volume, and the release rate corresponding to the above-mentioned target temperature.

[0081] In the above implementation manner, the temperature corresponding to the maximum value of the release rate is usually not reachable by the blowing temperature of the air conditioner. Therefore, during the process of releasing the fragrance at the maximum release rate, the air conditioner cannot blow air. Determining the target temperature of the above-mentioned air conditioner as the above-mentioned release temperature, that is, using the blowing temperature of the above-mentioned air conditioner as the release temperature, can release the fragrance while blowing air, without waiting for the release to complete before blowing air. Correspondingly, releasing the fragrance at the release rate corresponding to the above-mentioned target temperature, and recalculating the corresponding above-mentioned release duration.

[0082] A control unit 30, configured to control the accommodation cavity where the fragrance of the target fragrance type is located to open the release window, and control the air conditioner to release the fragrance corresponding to the target fragrance type at the release temperature, and when the opening duration of the release window reaches the release duration, control the release window to close.

[0083] Optionally, the present application does not limit the specific process of controlling the air conditioner to release the fragrance corresponding to the target fragrance type at the release temperature, and any feasible method belongs to the protection scope of the present application.

[0084] For example, in an optional implementation manner, the control unit includes:

[0085] A first control module, configured to close the air deflector of the air conditioner;

[0086] A second control module, configured to control the interior of the air conditioner to operate at the release temperature for the release duration.

[0087] In the above implementation manner, the temperature corresponding to the maximum value of the release rate is usually not achievable by the blowing temperature of the air conditioner. Therefore, close the air deflector of the air conditioner, control the interior of the air conditioner to operate at the release temperature, reach the temperature corresponding to the maximum value of the release rate, and continuously release for the duration, so that the release amount reaches the release amount corresponding to the optimal concentration.

[0088] In addition, the fragrance module is located in the air inlet channel or the air outlet channel of the air conditioner, and the device further includes:

[0089] A third control module, configured to open the air deflector of the air conditioner and control the air conditioner to blow air after closing the release window of the accommodation cavity corresponding to the target fragrance type.

[0090] In the above implementation manner, after the release is completed, open the air deflector of the air conditioner and control the air conditioner to blow air at a predetermined wind speed v, so that the fragrance fills the entire space and the concentration of the fragrance in the space reaches the optimal concentration. Since the fragrance is released and then blown out of the air conditioner, the blowing temperature of the air conditioner has no effect on the fragrance release. Therefore, the fragrance module can be located in the air inlet channel or the air outlet channel of the air conditioner, as long as it can be blown out smoothly.

[0091] For another example, in another optional implementation manner, the control unit further includes:

[0092] A fourth control module, configured to open the air deflector of the air conditioner and control the air conditioner to blow air at the release temperature for the release duration.

[0093] In the above embodiments, since the target temperature is used as the release temperature, that is, the blowing temperature is used as the release temperature, the fragrance module is arranged in the air outlet channel of the above air conditioner, so that the continuous release duration of the air with the target temperature makes the concentration of the fragrance in the space reach the optimal concentration. Compared with the case of releasing first and then blowing out, releasing the fragrance along with the blowing makes the increase of the fragrance concentration in the air relatively gentle, and the user experience is better.

[0094] In the above fragrance release device of the air conditioner, the acquisition unit acquires the target fragrance type, the optimal concentration corresponding to the target fragrance type, the mapping relationship between the release rate of the target fragrance type and temperature, and the space volume. The target fragrance type is the fragrance type selected by the user. The optimal concentration corresponds to the fragrance type one by one. The space volume is the volume of the space where the air conditioner is located. The determination unit determines the release temperature and release duration of the fragrance corresponding to the target fragrance type according to the optimal concentration, the space volume, and the mapping relationship. The control unit controls the release window of the accommodation chamber where the fragrance of the target fragrance type is located to open, and controls the air conditioner to release the fragrance corresponding to the target fragrance type at the release temperature, and controls the release window to close when the opening duration of the release window reaches the release duration. By determining the release temperature and release time according to the optimal concentration, space volume, and release rate mapping relationship, the release device can control the air conditioner to operate at the release temperature for the release time inside, so that the fragrance concentration in the space where the air conditioner is located reaches the optimal concentration, solving the problem in the prior art that the concentration of the released fragrance cannot be controlled.
