It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate to describe the embodiments of the present disclosure herein. In addition, the terms "including," "having," and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0026] Unless otherwise stated, the term "plurality" means two or more.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the character " / " indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B means: A or B.

[0028] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0029] The term "correspondence" may refer to an association relationship or a binding relationship. The correspondence between A and B means that there is an association relationship or a binding relationship between A and B.

[0030] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, smart home appliances refer to home appliance products that are formed by introducing microprocessors, sensor technology, and network communication technology into home appliances. They have the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent perception, and intelligent application. The operation process of smart home appliances often relies on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet, and electronic chips. For example, smart home appliances can realize remote control and management of smart home appliances by users by connecting to electronic devices.

[0031] In the disclosed embodiments, a terminal device refers to an electronic device with a wireless connection function.

Mobile devices may include, for example, mobile phones, smart home devices, wearable devices, smart mobile devices, virtual reality devices, etc., or any combination thereof, wherein wearable devices include, for example, smart watches, smart bracelets, pedometers, etc.

[0032] Combine Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, comprising: a housing 10 and a dust adsorption device 11. An air outlet 101 is provided on the surface of the housing 10, and the dust adsorption device 11 is disposed at the air outlet 101.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the dust-absorbing device 11 includes a dust-absorbing sheet 111 and a power supply 112. The dust-absorbing sheet 111 is positioned at the air outlet 101 of the air conditioner. Alternatively, it can be positioned in close proximity to the air deflector. The power supply 112 is configured to apply an electric potential to the dust-absorbing sheet 111. Thus, when the power supply is turned on, the applied electric potential causes the surface of the dust-absorbing sheet to absorb dust at the air outlet, thereby cleaning the air.

[0034] The dust adsorption sheet has a thin dielectric layer to isolate the conductive layers above and below it, and a dust adsorption film on the surface to absorb dust.

[0035] Optionally, the dust adsorption sheet can be a transparent sheet, which is convenient for identifying dust.

[0036] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes an image detection device 12, disposed on the outer surface of the air conditioner housing and configured to detect dust levels at the air outlet. Specifically, the image detection device 12 is a camera. More specifically, the image detection device is a macro camera. This allows accurate detection of dust levels at close range, facilitating improved accuracy in subsequent assessment and cleaning processes.

[0037] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a display device 13. Specifically, the display device is a display screen. More specifically, it can be an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen. This display device can display relevant parameters such as operating status and current temperature, allowing the user to more intuitively understand the current operating status. Furthermore, the display device can also serve as an input device to receive user commands, enabling human-computer interaction.

[0038] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a dust concentration detection device, so that the dust situation can be detected more accurately.

[0039] Figure 3 A method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0040] S301: The processor obtains dust conditions at the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0041] The dust level at the air outlet of the air conditioner can be obtained by an image detection device installed on the air conditioner housing. The dust level is then displayed as an image of the dust. In this way, the dust level at the air outlet of the air conditioner can be determined without relying on other equipment.

[0042] Or, can obtain dust situation by the detection device that is arranged at other equipment in the indoor room of air conditioner.Like this, under the situation that indoor detection device that has had the dust situation detection, need not add new device to air conditioner.

[0043] When the dust condition is dust concentration, the dust concentration at the air outlet can be obtained by a dust concentration detection device provided in the air conditioner. In this way, the dust condition at the air outlet of the air conditioner can be determined more accurately, and then a more accurate judgment and cleaning of the dust condition can be made.

[0044] S302: The processor determines whether the dust condition meets a first preset condition.

[0045] S303: When the dust situation meets the first preset condition, the processor controls the dust adsorption device to turn on.

[0046] Using the method for controlling an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a dust suction device is installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner. The dust level at the air outlet is detected. If the dust level meets a preset condition, the dust suction device is activated to suction and clean the dust. This allows for intuitive and accurate information about the dust level at the air outlet, thereby improving the accuracy of air outlet cleaning.

[0047] Optionally, when the dust adsorption device includes a dust adsorption sheet and a power supply, the processor controlling the adsorption device to activate includes: the processor controlling the power supply to activate and apply a voltage to the dust adsorption sheet. In this way, the surface of the dust adsorption sheet can adsorb dust, thereby achieving a cleaning effect. Furthermore, condensation particles at the air outlet can pass through the dust adsorption sheet and fall directly to the ground.

[0048] Optionally, after the processor controls the dust collection device to be turned on, the process further includes: the processor obtaining a current dust level at the air outlet of the air conditioner. If the current dust level satisfies a second preset condition, the dust collection device is controlled to be turned off. In this way, the cleaning process can be automatically turned off based on actual conditions, eliminating the need for manual control by the user, thereby simplifying user operation.

[0049] Optionally, when the dust level reaches a first preset condition, the process further includes: the processor determining the operating duration and / or operating intensity of the dust adsorption device based on the dust level. In this way, the dust removal process can be adaptively adjusted according to different conditions, thereby ensuring the dust removal effect and avoiding excessive dust removal time and waste of resources.

[0050] Optionally, the processor determining the operating time of the dust adsorption device based on the dust condition includes: the processor determining that the operating time of the dust adsorption device is positively correlated with the dust condition. That is, the more dust there is, the longer the operating time of the dust adsorption device. More specifically, if the dust condition refers to the dust coverage area, the larger the coverage area, the longer the operating time of the dust adsorption device. If the dust condition refers to the dust concentration, the higher the dust concentration, the longer the operating time of the dust adsorption device. This helps optimize the dust removal effect.

[0051] Optionally, the processor determining the operating intensity of the dust adsorption device based on the dust condition includes: the processor determining that the operating intensity of the dust adsorption device is positively correlated with the dust condition. That is, the more dust there is, the stronger the operating intensity of the dust adsorption device. Specifically, if the dust condition refers to the dust coverage area, the larger the coverage area, the stronger the operating intensity of the dust adsorption device. If the dust condition refers to the dust concentration, the greater the dust concentration, the stronger the operating intensity of the dust adsorption device.

[0052] Where the dust adsorbing device includes a dust adsorbing sheet and a power supply, the operating intensity of the dust adsorbing device is represented by the magnitude of the voltage applied by the power supply. Within a certain voltage range, the greater the applied voltage, the greater the operating intensity of the dust adsorbing device.

[0053] Optionally, the processor determining the operating duration and / or operating intensity of the dust adsorption device based on the dust condition further includes: the processor determining the operating duration and / or operating intensity of the dust adsorption device based on the dust coverage area and dust concentration. In this way, using more parameters as detection values is conducive to improving the accuracy of the dust removal process.

[0054] In actual applications, different gears can be set to correspond to different operating times and / or operating intensities. During operation, the gear is determined based on the dust level. This helps simplify the control logic and achieve effective control.

[0055] Optionally, after the processor controls the dust suction device to be turned on, the process further includes: the processor obtaining a distance between the user and the dust suction device, and if the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance, issuing a prompt and / or controlling the dust suction device to pause. This can prevent the user from being too close to the dust suction device during operation, causing discomfort to the user.

[0056] Optionally, after the processor controls the dust adsorption device to be activated, the process further includes: obtaining the amount of dust already adsorbed by the dust adsorption device. If the amount of dust reaches a preset dust amount threshold, the dust adsorption device is controlled to pause, and a user is prompted. In this way, if a large amount of dust accumulates on the surface of the dust adsorption device, the dust can be promptly cleaned to allow the subsequent dust adsorption process to continue.

[0057] Combine Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0058] S401: The processor obtains an image of the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0059] S402: The processor determines the dust coverage area based on the image.

[0060] S403: The processor determines whether the dust coverage area reaches a first area threshold.

[0061] S404: If the first area threshold is reached, the processor determines that the first preset condition is met.

[0062] S405: When the dust condition meets the first preset condition, the processor controls the dust adsorption device to turn on.

[0063] In this way, the dust situation at the air outlet of the air conditioner is detected, and if the dust situation meets the preset conditions, the dust adsorption device is turned on to adsorb and clean the dust. In this way, the dust situation at the air outlet of the air conditioner can be obtained intuitively and accurately, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of cleaning the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0064] The first area threshold may be expressed in the form of a percentage, such as 30%, 50%, or 80% of the total area of the detectable air deflectors.

[0065] Optionally, after the processor controls the dust collection device to be activated, the process further includes: obtaining a current dust coverage area at the air outlet of the air conditioner by the processor. If the current coverage area is less than or equal to a second area threshold, the processor controls the dust collection device to be deactivated. This allows the cleaning process to be automatically deactivated based on actual conditions, eliminating the need for manual user control and simplifying user operations.

[0066] The second area threshold may be 0. In this way, it can be ensured that there is no dust after dust removal, which is conducive to ensuring a good dust removal effect.

[0067] The second area threshold may also be 2%, 5%, 10%, etc., of the total area of the detectable wind deflectors.

[0068] Combine Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device 200 for controlling an air conditioner, including a detection module 51 , a processing module 52 and a control module 53 .

[0069] The detection module 51 is configured to detect the dust condition at the air outlet of the air conditioner. The processing module 52 is configured to determine whether the dust condition satisfies a first preset condition. The control module 53 is configured to control the dust adsorption device to activate if the dust condition satisfies the first preset condition.

[0070] The device for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure detects the dust level at the air outlet of the air conditioner. If the dust level meets a preset condition, the dust adsorption device is activated to adsorb and clean the dust. In this way, the dust level at the air outlet of the air conditioner can be intuitively and accurately determined, thereby improving the accuracy of air outlet cleaning.

[0071] Combine Figure 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device 300 for controlling an air conditioner, comprising a processor 60 and a memory 61. Optionally, the device may further comprise a communication interface 62 and a bus 63. The processor 60, the communication interface 62, and the memory 61 may communicate with each other via the bus 63. The communication interface 62 may be used for information transmission.

[0072] In addition, the logic instructions in the memory 61 can be implemented in the form of software functional units and can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium when sold or used as an independent product.

[0073] The memory 61 is a computer-readable storage medium that can be used to store software programs and computer-executable programs, such as the program instructions / modules corresponding to the methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The processor 60 executes the program instructions / modules stored in the memory 61 to execute functional applications and data processing, thereby implementing the method for controlling the air conditioner in the above-mentioned embodiments.
