Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a control method for an air conditioner and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the improvement of living standards, air conditioners are widely used in households. However, when multiple people are in a room, each person may have different requirements for a comfortable environment; specifically, for example, each person may have different requirements for temperature or humidity. Existing air conditioners have relatively limited functions and cannot provide targeted zoned adjustments based on individual needs, thus affecting user comfort and failing to meet user requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, a control method and an air conditioner for overcoming or at least partially solving the above problems are proposed.

[0004] One object of the present invention is to provide a control method for an air conditioner that can adjust the environment by zone to improve user comfort.

[0005] A further objective of the present invention is to rapidly adjust the temperature of the temperature regulation zone to improve user comfort.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner control method is provided, wherein the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes two horizontally arranged indoor unit bodies, each of which can operate independently, and the control method includes:

[0007] Obtain the number of people in the environment where the indoor unit is located;

[0008] When the number of people is at least two, the environment where the indoor unit is located is divided into two temperature control zones; at least one person is present in each temperature control zone.

[0009] Determine the temperature control zones corresponding to the two indoor unit bodies respectively;

[0010] The two indoor unit bodies are controlled to adjust the temperature of their corresponding temperature adjustment zones.

[0011] Optionally, when the number of people is at least two, the control method further includes:

[0012] Compare the comfort environment parameters of each individual to see if they fall within different comfort ranges;

[0013] If so, perform the step of dividing the environment where the indoor unit is located into two temperature regulation zones.

[0014] Optionally, the step of dividing the environment where the indoor unit is located into two temperature regulation zones includes:

[0015] The indoor unit's environment is divided into two temperature control zones based on each person's comfort environment parameters.

[0016] Optionally, the step of dividing the environment where the indoor unit is located into two temperature regulation zones based on each person's comfort environment parameters includes:

[0017] The locations of people whose comfort environmental parameters fall within the same comfort range are divided into one temperature regulation zone, thus resulting in two temperature regulation zones.

[0018] Optionally, after the step of dividing the locations of people whose comfort environmental parameters belong to the same comfort range into one temperature regulation zone, thereby obtaining two temperature regulation zones, the method further includes:

[0019] Determine whether the two temperature regulation zones have at least partial overlap.

[0020] If so, the overlapping area is divided into one of the two temperature regulation areas.

[0021] Optionally, the step of dividing the overlapping region into one of the two temperature regulation regions includes:

[0022] Calculate the spatial size of each of the two temperature regulation zones;

[0023] The overlapping area is divided into the smaller of the two temperature regulation areas.

[0024] Optionally, the step of dividing the overlapping region into one of the two temperature regulation regions includes:

[0025] Calculate the areas of the two temperature regulation zones respectively;

[0026] The overlapping area is divided into the smaller of the two temperature regulation areas.

[0027] Optionally, the comfort environment parameters include a comfort temperature, and the comfort range includes a temperature range;

[0028] The step of controlling the two indoor unit bodies to adjust the temperature of their corresponding temperature adjustment zones includes:

[0029] Calculate the average temperature of the comfort temperature for each of the temperature regulation zones as the target temperature;

[0030] Obtain the real-time ambient temperature of each of the temperature regulation zones;

[0031] The set temperature of the indoor unit corresponding to each of the temperature adjustment zones is determined based on the real-time ambient temperature; wherein the set temperature is inversely proportional to the real-time ambient temperature.

[0032] When the real-time temperature equals the target temperature, the set temperature is set to the target temperature.

[0033] Optionally, the step of determining the temperature adjustment zones corresponding to the two indoor unit bodies respectively includes:

[0034] The positions of the two temperature regulation zones and the positions of the two indoor unit bodies are determined respectively;

[0035] The distances from the two indoor unit bodies to the two temperature control zones are obtained based on the positions of the two temperature control zones and the positions of the two indoor unit bodies.

[0036] The temperature adjustment area that is closer to the indoor unit body is defined as the temperature adjustment area corresponding to the indoor unit body.

[0037] According to another aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner is also provided, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a control program, which, when executed by the processor, is used to implement the control method of the air conditioner described in any one of the above-described embodiments.

[0038] In the air conditioner control method of the present invention, the number of people in the environment where the indoor unit is located is obtained. When the number of people is at least two, the environment where the indoor unit is located is divided into two temperature adjustment zones. At least one person is present in each temperature adjustment zone. The temperature adjustment zones corresponding to the two indoor units are determined respectively. The two indoor units are controlled to adjust the temperature for their corresponding temperature adjustment zones. This realizes targeted temperature adjustment based on the temperature adjustment zone where each person is located, which is beneficial to improving the comfort of each person, improving the user experience, and also improving the intelligence level of the air conditioner.

[0039] Furthermore, the overlapping areas belong to two different temperature regulation zones, which correspond to two different comfort ranges. If the overlapping areas are adjusted separately according to the two different comfort ranges, the environment in the overlapping areas will fluctuate frequently, which may cause users to feel uncomfortable. To avoid the above situation, the overlapping areas are divided into one of the two temperature regulation zones so that the same comfort range can be used to adjust the overlapping areas.

[0040] Furthermore, the smaller the temperature control area, the faster the environment can be adjusted to a comfortable range. Dividing the overlapping area into the smaller of the two temperature control areas can prevent one temperature control area from being too large and the other too small, making it easier to adjust both temperature control areas to a comfortable range more quickly. This helps ensure the comfort of everyone and improves everyone's experience.

Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the indoor unit of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner 500 of the present invention may include two horizontally arranged indoor unit bodies 102. The two indoor unit bodies 102 may be arranged adjacent to each other or spaced apart at a specified distance. Each indoor unit body 102 can operate independently, that is, each indoor unit body 102 can be used as an independent indoor unit. Figure 1 The indoor unit 10 has a housing 101 inside, which is divided into two horizontally arranged spaces by a baffle 109.

The upper air guide plate 111 and the lower air guide plate 112 can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise to form multiple air supply directions.

[0050] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a control method for an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 3 The control method may include the following steps S302 to S308:

[0051] Step S302: Obtain the number of people in the environment where the indoor unit is located. In this step, the number of people in the environment where the indoor unit is located generally refers to the number of people in the room where the indoor unit is located.

[0052] Step S304: When there are at least two people, divide the environment where the indoor unit is located into two temperature-controlled zones. Each temperature-controlled zone can contain at least one person, and all people can reside in both temperature-controlled zones. In this step, dividing the environment where the indoor unit is located into two temperature-controlled zones can be understood as dividing the environment into two parts; it can also be understood as dividing the environment where the indoor unit is located into two spatial areas. The sum of these two spatial areas can be less than the total area of ​​the indoor unit's environment, and these two spatial areas only need to accommodate all people in the environment.

[0053] Step S306: Determine the temperature adjustment zones corresponding to the two indoor unit bodies respectively.

[0054] Step S308: Control the two indoor units to adjust the temperature of their corresponding temperature adjustment zones.

[0055] In this embodiment, the number of people in the environment where the indoor unit is located is obtained. When there are at least two people, the environment is divided into two temperature control zones, with at least one person in each zone. The temperature control zones corresponding to the two indoor units are then determined, and the two indoor units are controlled to adjust the temperature according to their respective zones. This achieves targeted temperature adjustment based on each person's zone, improving individual comfort, enhancing the user experience, and increasing the intelligence of the air conditioner. When there are fewer than two people, temperature control zones are not required, and the temperature of the environment can be directly adjusted according to the user's needs. Furthermore, the number of indoor units in this invention is not limited to two; it can be three or more, as long as the number of temperature control zones is equal to the number of indoor units.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the number of people is at least two, the control method may further include:

[0057] Compare the comfort environment parameters of each individual to see if they fall within different comfort ranges;

[0058] If so, proceed with the step of dividing the environment where the indoor unit is located into two temperature regulation zones.

[0059] In this embodiment, the air conditioner can pre-store the comfort environment parameters of each person in the indoor unit's environment. Each person's identity can be identified using methods such as image recognition, and then the corresponding comfort environment parameters can be matched from the pre-stored comfort environment parameters for each person in the indoor unit's environment based on their identity. If each person's comfort environment parameters do not belong to different comfort ranges, i.e., they belong to the same comfort range, then there is no need for zoned airflow. To avoid blindly zoning airflow, it is necessary to compare whether each person's comfort environment parameters belong to different comfort ranges. If so, the step of dividing the indoor unit's environment into two temperature control zones is executed. Generally, multiple different comfort ranges can be pre-stored. Each person's comfort environment parameters are matched with each comfort range to determine each person's comfort range. Furthermore, when there are more than two people and each person belongs to more than two comfort ranges, the two comfort ranges containing the most people can be selected. Then, the comfort environment parameters of the remaining people are matched with these two comfort ranges containing the most people, and the closest comfort range is selected as the comfort range to which that person's comfort environment parameters belong. This facilitates the division of two temperature control zones and includes everyone in the environment.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of dividing the environment where the indoor unit is located into two temperature regulation zones may include:

[0061] The indoor unit's environment is divided into two temperature control zones based on each person's comfort environment parameters.

[0062] In this embodiment, the environment where the indoor unit is located is divided into two temperature control zones based on the comfort environment parameters of each person. This is beneficial to ensure that the comfort environment parameters of the people in each temperature control zone are the same or similar, and to improve the comfort of the people in each temperature control zone.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of dividing the environment where the indoor unit is located into two temperature regulation zones based on each person's comfort environment parameters may include:

[0064] The locations of people whose comfort environmental parameters fall within the same comfort range are divided into one temperature regulation zone, thus resulting in two temperature regulation zones.

[0065] In this embodiment, the locations of people whose comfort environmental parameters fall within the same comfort range are divided into two temperature regulation zones. This ensures that the comfort environmental parameters of people in each temperature regulation zone are similar or close, which helps guarantee the comfort of each individual and improves the user experience. Specifically, for example, the locations of people whose comfort environmental parameters fall within the same comfort range can be interconnected to form a temperature regulation zone. Generally, the shape of this temperature regulation zone on the ground (indoor floor) is often irregular. To facilitate temperature regulation, the shape of the formed temperature regulation zone on the ground can be a regular shape, such as a circle, ellipse, square, or rectangle, as long as these regular shapes include the locations of people within the same comfort range. It can be understood that the temperature regulation zone is a three-dimensional space; its shape on the ground can be extended upwards to the ceiling to form a three-dimensional temperature regulation zone.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present invention, after dividing the locations of people whose comfort environment parameters belong to the same comfort range into one temperature regulation zone, thereby obtaining two temperature regulation zones, the method further includes:

[0067] Determine whether there is at least a partial overlap between the two temperature control zones;

[0068] If so, divide the overlapping area into one of the two temperature regulation zones.

[0069] In this embodiment, the overlapping area belongs to two different temperature regulation zones, which correspond to two different comfort ranges. If the overlapping area is adjusted separately according to the two different comfort ranges, the environment of the overlapping area will fluctuate frequently, which may cause users to feel uncomfortable. To avoid the above situation, the overlapping area is divided into one of the two temperature regulation zones so that the overlapping area can be adjusted using the same comfort range.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of dividing the overlapping region into one of the two temperature regulation regions may include:

[0071] Calculate the spatial size of the two temperature control zones respectively;

[0072] The overlapping area is divided into the smaller of the two temperature regulation zones.

[0073] In this embodiment, the smaller the temperature regulation area, the faster the environment of the temperature regulation area can be adjusted to a comfortable range. Dividing the overlapping area into the smaller of the two temperature regulation areas can avoid one temperature regulation area being too large and the other too small, making it easier to adjust both temperature regulation areas to a comfortable range more quickly, which helps to ensure the comfort of everyone and improve everyone's experience.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present invention, the comfort environment parameter may include the comfort temperature, and the comfort range may include the temperature range;

[0075] The steps for controlling two indoor units to adjust the temperature of their corresponding temperature control zones may include:

[0076] Calculate the average temperature of the comfort temperature for each temperature regulation zone as the target temperature;

[0077] Obtain the real-time ambient temperature for each temperature regulation zone;

[0078] The set temperature of the indoor unit is determined based on the real-time ambient temperature of each temperature control zone; the set temperature can be inversely proportional to the real-time ambient temperature.

[0079] Once the real-time temperature equals the target temperature, set the set temperature to the target temperature.

[0080] In this embodiment, the average comfort temperature for each person in each temperature control zone is calculated as the target temperature, which helps ensure the comfort of everyone in the temperature control zone. The set temperature of the corresponding indoor unit is determined based on the real-time ambient temperature of each temperature control zone. The set temperature is inversely proportional to the real-time ambient temperature. When the real-time temperature equals the target temperature, the set temperature is set as the target temperature, which facilitates faster adjustment of the real-time ambient temperature of each temperature control zone to the target temperature. Specifically, for example, in cooling mode, the target temperature is 25 degrees Celsius. The set temperature is inversely proportional to the real-time ambient temperature. For example, when the real-time ambient temperature is 35 degrees Celsius, the set temperature can be 17 degrees Celsius; when the real-time ambient temperature is 32 degrees Celsius, the set temperature can be 18 degrees Celsius; when the real-time ambient temperature is 28 degrees Celsius, the set temperature can be 20 degrees Celsius; and when the real-time ambient temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, the set temperature can be 25 degrees Celsius, which is the target temperature. Compared to directly setting the air conditioner's set temperature to 25 degrees Celsius, this adjustment method significantly speeds up the temperature reduction process. For example, in heating mode, the target temperature is 25 degrees Celsius. The set temperature is inversely proportional to the real-time ambient temperature. For instance, when the real-time ambient temperature is 10 degrees Celsius, the set temperature can be 30 degrees Celsius; when the real-time ambient temperature is 14 degrees Celsius, the set temperature can be 28 degrees Celsius; when the real-time ambient temperature is 16 degrees Celsius, the set temperature can be 26 degrees Celsius; and when the real-time ambient temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, the set temperature can be 25 degrees Celsius, meaning the target temperature is 25 degrees Celsius. Compared to directly setting the air conditioner's set temperature to 25 degrees Celsius, this adjustment method significantly speeds up the temperature increase. It's understandable that the target temperatures of the two temperature control zones are likely to be different. Because air can flow between the two temperature control zones, even if the set temperatures of the two indoor units are set to their respective target temperatures, the actual temperatures of the two temperature control zones will still fluctuate to some extent. Even so, the comfort level of temperature regulation for the two temperature control zones in this invention is still better than the comfort level of directly adjusting the indoor environment to a single temperature in the prior art. Furthermore, considering that air can flow between different areas, those skilled in the art lack creativity and motivation to make improvements similar to this invention. This invention breaks through this mental constraint and represents a significant advancement. Additionally, sometimes, after calculating the average comfortable temperature of each temperature-regulating zone as the target temperature, for simplicity, the target temperature of the temperature-regulating zone can be directly used as the set temperature of its corresponding indoor unit.

[0081] In addition to temperature, comfort environment parameters can also include parameters such as comfort humidity, and comfort range can also include humidity range. Dividing the environment of the indoor unit into two humidity control zones, and determining the humidity control zone corresponding to each of the two indoor units, the method for controlling the humidity of the two indoor units to adjust to their corresponding humidity control zones can be similar to the method described above for temperature, and will not be repeated here.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining the temperature adjustment zones corresponding to the two indoor unit bodies may include:

[0083] Determine the locations of the two temperature control zones and the two indoor unit bodies respectively;

[0084] The distances from the two indoor unit bodies to the two temperature control zones are obtained based on the locations of the two temperature control zones and the locations of the two indoor unit bodies.

[0085] The temperature adjustment zone that is closer to the indoor unit is designated as the temperature adjustment zone corresponding to the indoor unit.

[0086] In this embodiment, the temperature regulation area with the shorter distance to the indoor unit is designated as the temperature regulation area corresponding to the indoor unit. This is equivalent to adopting the proximity principle, allowing for faster temperature adjustment within the regulation area. Generally, when determining the positions of the two temperature regulation areas, the shapes they form on the ground can be defined separately, and these shapes can be replaced with regular shapes that include the positions of everyone within the temperature regulation areas. The center of each regular shape is then used as the position of the two temperature regulation areas. Ideally, the shapes of the regular shapes formed by the two temperature regulation areas on the ground should be consistent, such as both being circles or squares, for consistency, calculation, and temperature adjustment.
