[0054] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application. Exemplary examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are merely exemplary and are intended only to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

[0058] With the widespread use of air conditioners, and with socioeconomic development and rising living standards, people are no longer satisfied with using air conditioners to control heating or cooling; they are now placing greater emphasis on the functionality and comfort of air conditioners during use. Air conditioners distribute cooling or heating by blowing air during use, lowering or raising the indoor temperature. However, the air blown by air conditioners can cause discomfort to users, especially when the indoor ambient temperature is too high or too low. To quickly lower or raise the indoor temperature, the air speed is increased, and the sensation of drafts is more pronounced if the user is close to the air conditioner. Therefore, to address the issue of draft sensation, air conditioners use a windless mode for cooling, improving the user experience. However, using windless mode for cooling results in low cooling capacity. To address the issue of low cooling or heating capacity with windless mode, existing air conditioners in the related art typically activate windless mode only after the room temperature reaches a stable temperature close to the user's setting. If the outdoor temperature is high or the room heat exchange is high at this time, it will be difficult for the room temperature to reach the preset temperature, reducing comfort.

[0059] Based on this, the present application provides a control method for an air conditioner, an air conditioner and a computer-readable storage medium, in which two air outlets are set on the left and right, and the windless feeling of the corresponding air outlet is adjusted according to the area corresponding to which air outlet the user is located, and the ventilation area of the air outlet is adjusted according to the area where the user is located, so as to ensure the cooling and heating effects and improve the user's comfort.

[0060] The embodiments of the present application are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 1 is a block diagram of an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present application. The control method of the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present application is executed by a control device 100, and the control device 100 can be built into the air conditioner and includes one or more processors 120 and a memory. Figure 1 In the figure, a processor 120 and a memory 110 are taken as an example.

[0062] The processor 120 and the memory 110 may be connected via a bus or other means. Figure 1 The bus connection is taken as an example.

[0063] The memory 110 is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that can be used to store non-transitory software programs and non-transitory computer executable programs. In addition, the memory 110 may include a high-speed random access memory and may also include a non-transitory memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other non-transitory solid-state storage device. In some embodiments, the memory 110 may optionally include a memory 110 remotely located relative to the processor 120, and these remote memories may be connected to the control device 100 via a network.

[0064] Examples of the aforementioned network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0065] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The device structure shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the control device, and may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0066] exist Figure 1 In the operation control device shown, the processor 120 can be used to call the control method of the air conditioner stored in the memory 110 to implement the control method of the air conditioner.

[0067] Based on the hardware structure of the above-mentioned control device, various embodiments of the control method of the air conditioner of the present application are proposed.

[0068] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a method for controlling an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application. The method for controlling an air conditioner is mainly applied to an air conditioner, wherein the air conditioner includes two air vents, and the two air vents are distributed left and right; the air conditioner also includes an air dispersion module, and the air dispersion module is arranged at the air outlet, so that the ventilation area of the air conditioner outlet is changed by using different rotation angles of the air dispersion module. The method for controlling the air conditioner includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0069] S100, obtaining user location;

[0070] S200: When the user position exceeds the preset area corresponding to the air outlet, the air dispersion module of the air outlet is adjusted to a first rotation angle, where the first rotation angle is an angle at which the ventilation area of the air outlet corresponding to the air dispersion module is maximized;

[0071] S300: When the user is in a preset area corresponding to the air outlet, the wind dissipation module corresponding to the air outlet is adjusted to a second rotation angle, and the ventilation area corresponding to the second rotation angle is smaller than the ventilation area corresponding to the first rotation angle.

[0072] It is understandable that the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to central air conditioners, wall-mounted air conditioners, cabinet air conditioners or other types of air conditioners, and the air conditioner involved in the embodiment of the present application has two air outlets, and the two air outlets are distributed on the left and right of the air conditioner. The air conditioner also includes a wind dispersion module arranged at the air outlet, and the ventilation area of the air outlet is adjusted by changing the rotation angle of the wind dispersion module, thereby realizing the ventilation area adjustment of the air conditioner. The basic idea of the embodiment of the present application is to adjust the angle of the wind dispersion module on the air conditioner to adjust the air outlet area of the air outlet distributed on the left and right. Therefore, by detecting the user's position, the rotation angle of the wind dispersion module is controlled according to the user's position to adjust the air outlet area of the air outlet, so as to realize rapid cooling or rapid heating of the room when the user cannot feel the wind.

[0073] In some embodiments, since the air conditioner is provided with two air outlets, wind dispersion modules are provided at the two air outlets, and the wind dispersion modules rotate to block the air outlets or open the air outlets to adjust the ventilation area of the air outlets. The preset area corresponding to the air outlets is an area at a preset distance from the air outlets. In this embodiment, a human body recognition detector is provided within the air conditioner, which detects the distance between the air outlets and the user. If the distance between the user and the air outlet is greater than the preset distance, the user's location is determined to have exceeded the preset area corresponding to the air outlet; if the distance between the user and the air outlet is less than the preset distance, the user's location is determined to have fallen within the preset area corresponding to the air outlet. Assuming the preset distance is 5 meters, if there is no user within 5 meters of the air outlet, the user's location is determined to have exceeded the preset area corresponding to the air outlet. Because the air blown out of the air outlet will not cause noticeable discomfort to users outside the preset area, the air dispersion module is adjusted to a first rotation angle. The first rotation angle is the angle at which the ventilation area of the air conditioner's air outlet is maximized. Rotating the wind deflector to the first rotation angle also allows the air conditioner to deliver normal air to the air outlet. Therefore, if the user does not notice the wind, normal air delivery can be used to quickly lower or raise the indoor temperature. If a user is within 5 meters of the air outlet, this indicates that the user is located within the preset area corresponding to the air outlet. Therefore, the air blown out of the air outlet will affect the user's experience. Therefore, based on the user's location within the preset area corresponding to the air outlet, the air dispersion module corresponding to the air outlet is adjusted to a second rotation angle. The second rotation angle is different from the first rotation angle. Since the first rotation angle is the angle at which the air dispersion module is located at the maximum ventilation area of the air outlet, and the ventilation area corresponding to the second rotation angle is smaller than the ventilation area corresponding to the second rotation angle, rotating the air dispersion module to the second rotation angle reduces the ventilation area of the air outlet. Therefore, when the user has a noticeable feeling of being blown by the wind, by reducing the air volume of the air outlet where the user is located, it is possible to ensure that the room is cooled or heated quickly and to improve the user's comfort when using the air conditioner.

[0074] Here, multiple user positions in front of the air outlet of the air conditioner are obtained; if multiple user positions are located in the preset area corresponding to the air outlet, the wind shield of the air outlet corresponding to the user position is adjusted to a second rotation angle. Therefore, the rotation angle of the air dispersion module of the air outlet is adjusted according to the user position, so as to adjust the ventilation area of the air outlet according to the user position, thereby ensuring that the indoor temperature drops or rises quickly without affecting the user's comfort. If some of the multiple user positions are located in the preset area corresponding to the air outlet, and some user positions are outside the preset area corresponding to the air outlet, then according to the user position being located in the preset area corresponding to the air outlet, the wind dispersion module corresponding to the air outlet of the user position is adjusted to the second rotation angle, so as to reduce the ventilation area of the air outlet where the user is located, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0075] In some embodiments, the wind dissipation module includes a wind shield for covering the air outlet, and ventilation holes are provided on the surface of the wind shield. The second rotation angle corresponds to the maximum area of the air outlet covered by the wind shield.

[0076] Among them, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Specifically, the air conditioner has two air outlets, located on the left and right sides of the air conditioner, respectively. Each air outlet is provided with a wind dissipation module 200, which includes a wind shield 210. The wind shield 210 is used to cover the air outlet and rotates to block or open the air outlet. Ventilation holes 211 are provided on the wind shield 210. When the wind shield 210 rotates to a second rotation angle, the wind shield 210 blocks the air outlet and a portion of the air blown out of the air outlet is delivered through the ventilation holes 211. Since the wind shield 210 is provided with multiple ventilation holes 211, the air blown out of the ventilation holes 211 will circulate above and below the air outlet, thereby reducing the amount of air blown directly onto the user, thereby achieving a windless effect of the air conditioner. When the windshield 210 is rotated to the second rotation angle, it rotates to the center of the air outlet and blocks the air outlet. Some air is then blown out through the vents 211 on the windshield 210, reducing the ventilation area of the corresponding air outlet. When the windshield 210 is moved to the first rotation angle, the windshield 210 no longer blocks the center of the air outlet, but instead opens the air outlet to maximize the ventilation area. Therefore, adjusting the ventilation area of the air outlet by rotating the windshield 210 is simple.

[0077] In some embodiments, the control method further includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0078] S400: Obtain a user location at a first preset time interval.

[0079] Since the user position does not remain constant, it is necessary to periodically obtain the user position so as to adjust the angle of the wind shield according to the user position in real time to adjust the ventilation area of the air outlet, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0080] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the air conditioner further comprises: a motor, wherein the ventilation volume of the air outlet is adjusted by adjusting the speed of the motor. The control method of the air conditioner includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0081] S500: When the user position exceeds the preset area corresponding to the air outlet, adjust the motor to a preset speed;

[0082] S600: When the user position is in a preset area corresponding to the air outlet, adjust the speed of the motor according to the distance between the user position and the air outlet corresponding to the user position.

[0083] The ventilation volume of the air outlet is not only related to the position of the wind shield, but also to the speed of the motor. Therefore, after determining the rotation angle of the wind shield corresponding to the air outlet according to the user's position, it is also judged based on the user's position and the preset area corresponding to the air outlet, and the speed of the motor is adjusted to reduce the ventilation volume of the air outlet where the user is located, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0084] When the user's position exceeds the preset zone corresponding to the air outlet, it indicates that the air blown out of the air outlet will not affect the user's comfort. Therefore, the motor corresponding to the air outlet is rotated at a preset speed. The preset speed is the speed set when the air conditioner is in normal air supply, that is, the motor speed before the windless mode is activated. If the windless mode is activated, the rotation angle of the air outlet windshield and the motor speed need to be adjusted according to the user's position to improve user comfort. Therefore, based on the user's position exceeding the preset zone corresponding to the air outlet, the motor speed is adjusted to rotate at the preset speed, so that the room temperature can be quickly cooled or heated without the user feeling the wind from the air outlet.

[0085] If the user is within the preset area corresponding to the air outlet, to prevent the outlet from blowing air that is noticeable to the user, the motor speed is determined based on the distance between the nearest user and the outlet. The motor speed is determined based on the distance and a preset relationship, which is the relationship between the distance range and the speed. Therefore, the motor speed is determined based on the distance between the nearest user and the outlet. Different speeds are obtained for different distances, allowing the air volume to be adjusted based on the user's position, thereby improving user comfort.

[0086] Specifically, when there are one or more users in front of the air outlet to obtain one or more user positions, if there is only one user position located in the preset area corresponding to the air outlet, the speed of the motor corresponding to the air outlet is adjusted according to the user position, and the distance between the user position and the air outlet is obtained, and the speed of the motor is adjusted according to the correspondence between the distance and the preset; if there are multiple user positions, and the multiple user positions are all in the preset area corresponding to the air outlet, the user position closest to the air outlet among the multiple user positions is obtained, and then the distance between the closest user position and the air outlet is obtained, and the speed of the motor is adjusted according to the correspondence between the distance and the preset. Therefore, when there are multiple user positions, only the distance between the user position closest to the air outlet and the air outlet is considered to adjust the speed of the motor, and other user positions in the preset area corresponding to the air outlet are not considered.

[0087] In some embodiments, the present application provides a flowchart of another method for controlling an air conditioner, such as Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner has two air outlets, and the two air outlets are distributed on the left and right and are respectively the left air outlet and the right air outlet. The left air outlet corresponds to the left preset area of the air conditioner, and the right air outlet corresponds to the right preset area of the air conditioner, wherein the wind shield includes a left wind shield and a right wind shield, and the left and right wind shields are rotated to realize the air outlets distributed on the left and right to discharge air separately or at the same time. The air outlets distributed on the left and right each have a wind shield, that is, the left air outlet is provided with a left wind shield, and the right air outlet is provided with a right wind shield. The wind shield is provided at the air outlet to realize the opening or closing of the air outlet by rotating around itself, thereby realizing the wind sweeping and windless feeling. Wherein, referring to Figure 6 Step S200 includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0088] S210: When the user position exceeds the preset area corresponding to the air outlets distributed on the left and right, the left wind shield and the right wind shield are adjusted to a first rotation angle.

[0089] S220: When the user position exceeds the left preset area or the right preset area, the wind shield of the air outlet corresponding to the user position is adjusted to a first rotation angle.

[0090] By judging whether the user's position exceeds the preset area on the left or right side of the air conditioner, the rotation angle of the wind shield of the corresponding air outlet is controlled according to the preset area corresponding to the air outlet where the user is located, so as to quickly cool down or heat up the room and improve the user experience.

[0091] In some embodiments, if the user's position exceeds the preset area on the left side of the air conditioner, while a user is located within the preset area on the right side, the left windshield on the left side is controlled to adjust to a first rotation angle, while the right windshield on the right side is controlled to adjust to a second rotation angle. If the user's position exceeds the preset area on the right side, while a user is located within the preset area on the left side, the right windshield on the right side is controlled to adjust to the first rotation angle, while the left windshield on the left side is controlled to adjust to the second rotation angle. By controlling the windshield at the corresponding air outlet to rotate at the first rotation angle when the user's position exceeds the preset area of an air outlet, when there is no user in the preset area of the air outlet, the windshield is controlled to rotate to the first rotation angle to maximize the airflow of the air outlet, thereby ensuring that the indoor temperature drops or rises rapidly while not affecting the comfort of the user on the other side.

[0092] In some embodiments, the present application provides a flow chart of another method for controlling an air conditioner, such as Figure 7 As shown, step S300 includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0093] S310: When the user is in the left preset area, adjust the left windshield to a second rotation angle;

[0094] S320: When the user is in the right preset area, adjust the right windshield to a second rotation angle;

[0095] S330: When the user is located in a preset area corresponding to the air outlets distributed on the left and right sides, determine that the left wind shield and the right wind shield are at a second rotation angle.

[0096] When there are users in the preset areas corresponding to the air outlets on both sides, the air outlets distributed on the left and right will feel windless, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0097] The second rotation angle is the angle at which the windshield is positioned in the middle of the air outlet, and the area of the air outlet blocked by the windshield is maximized, thereby achieving a windless feeling when the air conditioner is blocked by the windshield. The first rotation angle is the angle at which the windshield opens the air outlet, and when the windshield does not block the air outlet, the ventilation area of the air outlet is maximized. Since the air conditioner includes a left air outlet and a right air outlet, and the left and right windshields are located at corresponding air outlets, rotating the windshield to block or open the air outlet switches between a windless and a windy feeling at the air outlet. The first rotation angle is the angle at which the windshield is moved to achieve the maximum ventilation area at the air outlet, that is, the left windshield does not block the left air outlet of the air conditioner, and the right windshield does not completely block the right air outlet of the air conditioner. In this embodiment, the second rotation angle is the angle at which the windshield is rotated and positioned in the middle of the air outlet, blocking the air outlet, allowing air to be supplied through the vents, achieving a windless state of the air conditioner. If a windless state is desired on both sides, the left and right wind shields are rotated to the center of the air outlet. The left wind shield then blocks the left air outlet, while the right wind shield blocks the right air outlet. If a windless state is desired on the left side, the left wind shield is rotated to the center of the air outlet to block the left air outlet of the air conditioner, while the right wind shield remains inactive. If a windless state is desired on the right side, the right wind shield is rotated to the center of the air outlet to block the right air outlet of the air conditioner, while the left wind shield remains inactive. Therefore, by setting the second rotation angle to the angle at which the wind shield moves and is in the center of the air outlet to block the air outlet, a windless state of the air conditioner can be achieved.

[0098] In some embodiments, reference Figures 8a to 8c , where the preset area corresponding to the air outlet on the left side of the air conditioner is set as area A, and the preset area corresponding to the air outlet on the left side of the air conditioner is set as area B. Figure 8a If there are users in area A and no users in area B, the left windshield is controlled to move to the second rotation angle, and the users in area A feel a cooling or heating sensation without wind, thereby improving their comfort. Figure 8b If there is no user in area A and there is a user in area B, the right windshield is controlled to move to the second rotation angle so that the user on the right can experience a cooling or heating sensation without wind. Figure 8c , if there are users in both area A and area B, the left wind shield and the right wind shield are controlled to move to the second rotation angle to adjust the ventilation area of the air outlet of the air conditioner, thereby improving the comfort of the user.

[0099] Specifically, if the user is located in the preset left area of the air conditioner, while no user exists in the preset right area of the air conditioner, i.e., the user's location is outside the preset area corresponding to the right air outlet of the air conditioner, the left air shield of the air conditioner rotates and is positioned in the middle of the left air outlet to block the left air outlet, thereby achieving windlessness in the user's area. The right air shield is adjusted to a first rotation angle, and air is blown out of the right air outlet for cooling or heating, thereby achieving indoor cooling or heating. If the user is located in the preset right area of the air conditioner, while no user exists in the preset left area, i.e., the user's location is outside the preset area corresponding to the left air outlet, the right air shield moves to the middle of the right air outlet to block the right air outlet. The left air shield is adjusted to the first rotation angle, so that the right air outlet of the air conditioner cools or heats without a sense of wind, while the left air outlet of the air conditioner blows air at a normal ventilation rate, achieving windlessness for the user, thereby improving user comfort and not affecting indoor cooling or heating. If the user is located in the preset area corresponding to the air outlets distributed on the left and right, that is, there are users in both the left preset area and the right preset area, then the left wind shield and the right wind shield are moved to the middle position of the air outlet to block the air outlet, thereby achieving windless cooling or heating, so as to improve the user experience in the preset area of the air outlet.

[0100] Reference Figure 9 In some embodiments, the present application provides a flow chart of another method for controlling an air conditioner, wherein the motor includes a right motor and a left motor; the right motor is used to adjust the ventilation volume of the right air outlet, and the left motor is used to adjust the ventilation volume of the left air outlet. Step S500 includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0101] S510, when the user position exceeds the preset area on the left, adjusting the left motor to a preset speed;

[0102] S520, when the user position exceeds the preset area on the right side, adjusting the right motor to a preset speed;

[0103] S530 : When the user position exceeds the left preset area and the right preset area, the left motor and the right motor are adjusted to a preset rotation speed.

[0104] If the user's position exceeds the left preset area or the right preset area, it means that there is no user in the left preset area or the right preset area, and the left and right motors distributed on the left and right sides will rotate at the preset speed. That is, if there is no user in the preset area corresponding to the air outlet, the left and right motors will both rotate at the preset speed during normal operation to achieve a rapid drop or rise in the indoor temperature. If the user's position exceeds the left preset area or the right preset area, it means that there is no user in the left preset area or the right preset area of the air conditioner, but there is a user in the preset area corresponding to the air outlet on the other side, so the motor corresponding to the air outlet where the user is present will be adjusted to rotate at the preset speed. Therefore, when the user is not in the preset area of the air outlet on that side, the motor of the air outlet on that side will rotate at the preset speed, and the motor corresponding to the air outlet without the user will use the normal wind speed to achieve rapid cooling or heating of the room when the user cannot feel the wind.

[0105] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 As shown, step S600 includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0106] S610: Acquire all user positions in the left preset area, and take the user position closest to the left air outlet in the left preset area as the first user position;

[0107] S620: Adjust the rotation speed of the left motor according to the distance between the first user position and the left air outlet;

[0108] S630: Acquire all user positions in the right preset area, and take the user position closest to the right air outlet in the right preset area as the second user position;

[0109] S640: Adjust the rotation speed of the right motor according to the distance between the second user position and the right air outlet.

[0110] Since the motor includes a left motor and a right motor, the left motor is used to adjust the ventilation volume of the left air outlet, while the right motor is used to adjust the ventilation volume of the right air outlet. Therefore, the user position is determined to be within the preset left area of the air conditioner, or within the preset right area of the air conditioner, and the speed of the left or right motor is adjusted accordingly. If the user position is within the preset left area of the air conditioner, indicating that a user is present in the left preset area, all user positions within the left preset area are obtained. The distance between the user position closest to the left air outlet and the left air outlet is set as a first distance. The speed of the left motor is adjusted based on the first distance, and the right motor rotates at a preset speed. If the user position is only within the preset right area of the air conditioner, indicating that a user is present in the right preset area, and the user position is absent from the left preset area, indicating that the user position is outside the left preset area, the distance between the user position closest to the right air outlet and the right air outlet is set as a second distance. The speed of the right motor is then adjusted based on the second distance, and the left motor rotates at the preset speed. The speeds of the left and right motors are determined by the distance and the preset correspondence, i.e., different distances correspond to different speeds. Therefore, the speeds of the left and right motors are determined based on the distribution of user positions. If a user is in a preset area, the motors at the corresponding air outlets are controlled to rotate at the corresponding speeds; if no user is present, the motors at the corresponding air outlets are controlled to rotate at the preset speeds. This allows the motors to adjust the airflow through the air outlets, achieving a draft-free experience for the air conditioner, thereby improving user comfort and rapidly cooling or heating the room. If the user is located in both the left and right preset areas (i.e., users are present in the preset areas corresponding to the left and right air outlets), a first distance is obtained based on the distance between the nearest user position to the left air outlet and the left air outlet. The speed of the left motor is adjusted based on the magnitude of the first distance. A second distance is then obtained based on the distance between the nearest user position to the right air outlet and the right air outlet. The speed of the right motor is then determined based on the magnitude of the second distance. The left and right motors at the air outlets then rotate at corresponding speeds, with the speeds of the left and right motors being the same or different. This not only reduces the draft sensation in the preset area where the user is located, but also determines the speed of the corresponding motor based on the user position in front of each air outlet, thereby improving user comfort.

[0111] In some embodiments, it is assumed that the preset area is an area within 5 meters from the air outlet. Since the rotation speed is determined according to the distance between the user position and the air outlet and the preset corresponding relationship. The preset corresponding relationship is the correspondence between the distance range and the rotation speed. It is assumed that the correspondence between the distance range and the rotation speed is as follows: 0-1 meters corresponds to a rotation speed of Am / s, 1-2 meters corresponds to a rotation speed of Bm / s, 2-3 meters corresponds to a rotation speed of Cm / s, 3-4 meters corresponds to a rotation speed of Dm / s, 4-5 meters corresponds to a rotation speed of Em / s, wherein Am / s<Bm / s<Cm / s<Dm / s

[0112] Reference Figure 11a , the preset area on the left side of the air conditioner is area A, and the preset area on the right side of the air conditioner is area B. If there are users a and b in area A, and no user in area B, obtain the user locations of users a and b. If the distances between users a and b and the air outlet are 3.1 meters and 3.4 meters respectively, then the speed is determined to be Dm / s based on the distance of 3.1 meters between user a and the left air outlet, so the speed of the left motor is determined to be Dm / s. Figure 11b , if there is no user in area A, and there are users a and b in area B, and the distances between users a and b and the right air outlet are 3.5 meters and 3.2 meters respectively, user b is closer to the air outlet. Based on the distance between user b and the right air outlet, the speed is determined to be Dm / s, and the right motor rotates at Dm / s. Figure 11c If there are users in both areas A and B, with user a and user b in area A and user c and user e in area B, and the distances between users a, b, c, and e from the air outlet are 2.5 meters, 3 meters, 4 meters, and 1.3 meters, respectively, then user A is closest to the left air outlet in area A, and user e is closest to the right air outlet in area B. Therefore, the left motor rotates at C m / s, and the right motor rotates at B m / s. Therefore, the speed is determined based on the user's distance to ensure comfort. ​

[0113] In some embodiments, the present application provides a flowchart of another method for controlling an air conditioner, such as Figure 12 As shown, the air conditioner control method, step S620 includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0114] S621: Record two first user locations separated by a second preset time interval as a first location and a second location respectively;

[0115] S622: When the first position and the second position are the same, adjust the speed of the left motor according to the distance between the second position and the left air outlet;

[0116] S623: When the first position and the second position are different, the left motor speed is maintained unchanged, and the second position is updated to the first position.

[0117] Because the motor speed cannot be determined by the user's position, which changes periodically at a first time interval, it is necessary to determine whether the user's position remains constant after a change before adjusting the motor speed to prevent motor failure caused by repeated speed adjustments. Therefore, by detecting changes in the user's position periodically at a first time interval, the first user's position is divided into a first position and a second position at a second preset time interval. Then, a determination is made as to whether the first position and the second position are identical. If the first position and the second position are different, meaning that the user's position within the left preset area is constantly changing, the speed of the left motor remains unchanged. If the first position and the second position are identical, meaning that the user's position remains constant after a preset second time interval, the speed of the left motor is determined based on the distance between the second position and the left air outlet. The speed of the left motor is then determined based on the second position and a preset correspondence. Therefore, by dividing the first user's position into a first position and a second position at a second preset time interval, it is determined whether the user's position is constantly changing or whether it remains fixed and no longer moves, and the motor speed is adjusted accordingly, thereby improving user comfort while not affecting the normal operation of the motor.

[0118] Specifically, assuming that the preset first time interval is T1, the user position in the left preset area is detected according to the T1 period to obtain multiple first user positions. If the first user positions of the front and rear intervals are different, then the multiple first user positions are divided into the first position and the second position at the second preset time interval. If the first position and the second position are the same, that is, the user no longer moves after changing the position, the speed of the left motor is determined according to the distance between the second position and the left air outlet; if the first position and the second position are different, that is, the user position continues to change after the first time interval changes, the speed of the motor is kept unchanged to reduce motor failure caused by frequent adjustment of the motor speed.

[0119] In some embodiments, the present application provides a flowchart of another method for controlling an air conditioner, such as Figure 13 As shown, the air conditioner control method, step S640 includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0120] S641: Record two second user locations separated by a second preset time interval as a third location and a fourth location respectively;

[0121] S642: When the third position and the fourth position are the same, adjust the speed of the right motor according to the distance between the fourth position and the right air outlet;

[0122] S643: When the third position and the fourth position are different, the right motor speed is maintained unchanged, and the fourth position is updated to the third position.

[0123] Because a user is present within the right preset area, the second user position closest to the right air outlet within the right preset area is obtained based on a preset first time interval. If the second user positions obtained previously differ, indicating that the user has moved, the second user position is divided into a third position and a fourth position based on a second preset time interval. A determination is then made as to whether the third position and the fourth position are identical, i.e., whether the user continues to move after moving. If the third position and the fourth position are different, indicating that the user position within the right preset area continues to change after the second preset time delay, the speed of the right motor remains unchanged. If the first position and the second position are identical, indicating that the user position has not changed after a change but after the second preset time delay, the speed of the right motor is determined based on the distance between the second position and the right air outlet, and the speed of the right motor is determined based on the fourth position and a preset corresponding relationship. Therefore, by dividing the second user position into a third position and a fourth position based on the second preset time interval, it is determined whether the user position is constantly changing or whether it is fixed and no longer moves, and the motor speed is adjusted accordingly, thereby improving user comfort while not affecting the normal operation of the motor.
