[0002] With the rise of manufacturing standards, air conditioners have become a common household appliance. To achieve a more uniform temperature across all areas of the air conditioner's operating space, these air conditioners can obtain the temperatures of the left and right areas within the operating space. When the left area's temperature is higher than the right, air is sent to the left in cooling mode and to the right in heating mode. This can cause the air conditioner to frequently switch air flow, resulting in significant temperature fluctuations within the operating space.

[0066] Furthermore, the processor 1001 may call the air outlet control program of the air conditioner stored in the memory 1005 and perform the following operations:

[0067] When it is detected that the temperature difference between the first action area and the second action area is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to operate in a preset air supply mode.

[0068] Based on the hardware architecture of the air conditioner described above, various embodiments of the air outlet control method of the air conditioner of the present invention are proposed.

[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The air outlet control method of the air conditioner proposed in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0070] Step S10: obtaining a first temperature difference between the first active area and the second active area, an operating condition of the air conditioner, and corresponding temperatures of the first active area and the second active area;

[0071] Step S20: When the first temperature difference is greater than a preset threshold, controlling the air conditioner to supply air in a first direction, and obtaining a second temperature difference between the first action area and the second action area after a first time period;

[0072] Step S30: When the second temperature difference is smaller than the first temperature difference, the first direction, the working condition, and the temperature are associated and saved;

[0073] Step S40: When it is detected that the temperature difference between the first active area and the second active area is greater than the preset threshold, if the air conditioner is operating in the working condition and the current temperatures corresponding to the first active area and the second active area match the temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to supply air in the first direction.

[0074] In this embodiment, the air conditioner is provided with multiple air outlet directions. Figure 3 The air conditioner can supply air to the left and discharge air to the right. That is, the air conditioner's air supply direction includes a first direction and a second direction. When the air conditioner supplies air to the left, it can be defined as supplying air in the first direction, and when it supplies air to the right, it can be defined as supplying air in the second direction. Of course, the right side of the air conditioner can also be defined as the first direction, and the left side as the second direction. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0075] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 3 , based on the installation position of the air conditioner with to as the center, its air outlet range includes the area within the positive 180° range (it can be understood that on some other indoor units, the air supply range can be larger. For example, the cylindrical cabinet, its air supply range can reach up to 360°). Different air supply directions can be divided according to the angle corresponding to its air supply range. For example, the two air outlet ranges (0°, 90°) and (90°, 180°) correspond to the working space as the first working area and the second working area of ​​the air conditioner.

[0076] The air conditioner may first obtain a first temperature difference between the first active area and the second active area, as well as the working condition of the air conditioner and the temperatures corresponding to the first active area and the second active area.

[0077] Exemplarily, temperature detection sensors are provided in the first and second action areas. The temperature detection sensor can be provided in any device within the first and second action areas that can exchange data with the air conditioner. For example, a wired control panel is provided within the first action area, and a temperature detection sensor is provided on the wired control panel. After the wired control panel detects the temperature corresponding to the first action area through the temperature detection sensor, the wired controller can synchronize the detected temperature data to the air conditioner on a scheduled or real-time basis. Alternatively, the air conditioner can obtain the temperature data of the first action area from the wired controller on a scheduled or real-time basis. Optionally, the temperature sensor can also be provided on smart home devices such as humidifiers, sweeping robots, or smart TVs. When the smart home device is within the first action area, the temperature corresponding to the first action area can be obtained through the temperature sensor and sent to the air conditioner. It is understandable that, similarly, the temperature corresponding to the second action area can be detected by the device within the second action area.

[0078] Of course, the above method for determining the temperatures of the first and second active areas is not intended to limit the present invention. In some embodiments, a radar temperature detection device or an infrared temperature measurement device may be provided on the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can directly determine the temperatures corresponding to the first and second active areas based on the radar temperature detection device or infrared temperature measurement device provided on the air conditioner.

[0079] Furthermore, after determining the temperatures corresponding to the first active area and the second active area, a first temperature difference between the first active area and the second active area can be determined, and the current operating condition of the air conditioner can be obtained. The operating conditions include cooling and heating conditions.

[0080] Furthermore, when the first temperature difference is greater than a preset threshold, it can be determined that the temperature uniformity at different locations within the current active space is poor. The air conditioner can then be controlled to blow air in a first direction, and a second temperature difference between the first active area and the second active area can be obtained after a first period of time.

[0081] For example, the air conditioner is equipped with a timing function. When the air conditioner is supplying air in a fixed direction, the air conditioner can count the duration of air supply in that direction. For example, the air conditioner can first obtain the time when air supply in a first direction is initiated, and then determine the duration of air supply in the first direction based on the current time and the time when air supply in the first direction is initiated. The first direction can include one or more air supply angles, so that when air is supplied in the first direction, air can be supplied in the first direction at a first preset air supply angle corresponding to the first direction, or air can be swept within the first direction.

[0082] Exemplarily, when controlling the air conditioner to supply air in a first direction, the air conditioner can be controlled to supply air in the first direction at a preset angle; or the air conditioner can be controlled to supply air in turn at various air supply angles corresponding to the first direction to sweep air in the first direction.

[0083] For example, refer to Figure 3 The air supply angles corresponding to the first direction include air supply angle 1, air supply angle 2, and air supply angle 3. The air supply angles corresponding to the second direction include air supply angle 4, air supply angle 5, and air supply angle 6.

[0084] In one application scenario, when air is supplied in a first direction, if the preset angle corresponding to the first direction is preset as air supply angle 2, air can be supplied in the first direction at air supply angle 2. The preset air supply angle can be customized by the user through the control device or can be a factory setting preset by the air conditioner manufacturer.

[0085] In another application scenario, when the air conditioner is supplying air in a first direction, the air conditioner may be controlled to supply air sequentially at each of the air supply angles corresponding to the first direction. For example, the air conditioner may be controlled to supply air in the first direction at air supply angles 1, 2, and 3, respectively. This achieves the effect of sweeping air in the first direction.

[0086] After obtaining the air supply duration of the air conditioner supplying air in the first direction, it can be determined whether the air supply duration is greater than or equal to a first duration. The first duration is a preset fixed duration value. For example, it can be set to 5 minutes or 10 minutes. Optionally, the setting range of the first duration can be [5 minutes, 15 minutes].

[0087] When it is detected that the air conditioner has been supplying air in the first direction for a duration greater than or equal to the first duration, the air conditioner may determine a second temperature difference between the first operating area and the second operating area within the operating space of the air conditioner at the current moment. The second temperature difference is determined in the same manner as the first temperature difference and is not further described herein.

[0088] After determining the first and second temperature differences, the first and second temperature differences can be compared to determine the corresponding magnitude relationship between the first and second temperature differences. When the first temperature difference is greater than the second temperature difference, it indicates that during the period when the air conditioner is supplying air in the first direction, the temperature difference between the first active area and the second active area has decreased. This means that the temperature uniformity at various locations within the air conditioner's active space has improved. Therefore, under the current conditions, supplying air in the first direction is reasonably likely to improve the uniformity of the indoor ambient temperature. Therefore, the first direction, the operating condition, and the temperature can be stored in association.

[0089] Optionally, when the second temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature difference, this indicates that supplying air in the first direction will increase the temperature difference between the first and second operating areas, or will fail to reduce the temperature difference between the first and second operating areas. This indicates that supplying air in the first direction will fail to improve temperature uniformity at various locations within the operating space. Therefore, the second direction, the operating condition, and the temperature can be stored in association.

[0090] Furthermore, when the air conditioner detects that the temperature difference between the first action area and the second action area is greater than the preset threshold next time, the current temperature and the current working condition corresponding to the current moment can be obtained first.

[0091] If the current operating condition of the air conditioner matches the operating condition associated with the first direction, and the current temperatures corresponding to the first active area and the second active area match the temperature associated with the first direction, the air conditioner is controlled to supply air in the first direction to improve the uniformity of the temperature at various positions within the active space of the air conditioner.

[0092] If the current operating condition of the air conditioner matches the operating condition associated with the second direction, and the current temperatures corresponding to the first and second active areas match the temperature associated with the second direction, the air conditioner is controlled to supply air in the second direction.

[0093] It is understandable that when determining whether the current temperatures corresponding to the first active area and the second active area match the temperatures associated with the first direction or the second direction, the first size relationship between the current temperatures corresponding to the first active area and the second active area, and the second size relationship between the temperatures associated with the first direction or the second direction are first determined. When the first size relationship and the second size relationship are the same, it is determined that the two match. For example, when the temperature associated with the first direction is the temperature corresponding to the first active area greater than the temperature corresponding to the second active area, if the current temperature is the current temperature corresponding to the first active area greater than the current temperature corresponding to the second active area, it is determined that the temperature associated with the first direction matches the current temperature. If the current temperature is the current temperature corresponding to the first active area less than or equal to the current temperature corresponding to the second active area, it is determined that the current temperature does not match the temperature associated with the first direction.

[0094] Optionally, when the current temperature does not match the temperature associated with the first direction and / or the second direction, and / or the current working condition does not match the working condition associated with the first direction and / or the second direction, the process jumps to step S10.

[0095] Optionally, in one embodiment, before the first direction, the working condition, and the temperature are associated and saved, the method further includes:

[0096] When the second temperature difference is smaller than the first temperature difference, the air conditioner is first controlled to sequentially supply air for a second time period at each air supply angle corresponding to the first direction.

[0097] Exemplarily, each air supply direction of the air conditioner is provided with a plurality of air supply angles. When the second temperature difference is less than the first temperature difference, it means that air is supplied in the first direction, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of the ambient temperature in the working space. Therefore, it can be further determined that at which air supply angle corresponding to the first direction air is supplied in the first direction, the uniformity of the ambient temperature in the working space is best. Therefore, when the second temperature difference is less than the first temperature difference, the air conditioner can be controlled to supply air in sequence at each of the air supply angles corresponding to the first direction. The air supply duration corresponding to each of the air supply angles is equal, and is the second duration. The second duration is a pre-set fixed value, for example, it can be set to 2 minutes, or 5 minutes. Reference Figure 3 In a specific scenario, the first direction includes air supply angle 1, air supply angle 2, and air supply angle 3. When the second temperature difference is less than the first temperature difference, the air conditioner can be controlled to supply air in the first direction at air supply angle 1 for two minutes, then at air supply angle 2 for two minutes, and finally at air supply angle 3 for two minutes. A third temperature difference between the first active area and the second active area at the end of air supply at each of the air supply angles is then determined. A target air supply angle corresponding to the first direction is then determined based on the third temperature difference corresponding to each of the air supply angles.

[0098] It is understandable that when determining the target air supply angle corresponding to the first direction based on the third temperature difference corresponding to each of the air supply angles, the difference between the third temperature difference corresponding to each of the air supply angles and the second temperature difference can be determined first. Then, the target air supply angle is determined based on the difference. The smaller the difference, the better the effect of the air supply angle in improving uniformity. Therefore, the air supply angle corresponding to the minimum difference can be used as the target air supply angle. Then, when it is detected that the temperature difference between the first action area and the second action area is greater than the preset threshold, the current operating condition of the air conditioner matches the operating condition associated with the first direction, and the current temperature corresponding to the first action area and the second action area matches the temperature associated with the first direction, and then the air conditioner is controlled to supply air in the first direction, the air conditioner is controlled to supply air in the first direction at the target air supply angle. Thereby, the effect of the air conditioner supplying air in the optimal direction is achieved.

[0099] It is understandable that when the optimal direction is the second direction, the target air supply angle corresponding to the second direction can also be determined based on the above method, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0100] Optionally, refer to Figure 4In one embodiment, step S40 includes:

[0101] Step S41: When it is detected that the temperature difference between the first action area and the second action area is greater than the preset threshold value, if the current operating condition of the air conditioner matches the operating condition associated with the first direction, and the current temperatures corresponding to the first action area and the second action area match the temperature associated with the first direction, the air conditioner is controlled to sweep air in the first direction; or the air conditioner is controlled to supply air toward the first direction at a first preset air supply angle.

[0102] It should be noted that the specific manner of supplying air in the first direction may be determined according to a user's control instruction or according to the factory settings of the air conditioner, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0103] In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, a first temperature difference between the first and second operating areas, as well as the operating condition of the air conditioner and the temperatures corresponding to the first and second operating areas, is first obtained. When the first temperature difference is greater than a preset threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to supply air in a first direction. After a first period of time, a second temperature difference between the first and second operating areas is obtained. When the second temperature difference is less than the first temperature difference, the first direction, the operating condition, and the temperatures are associated and stored. When it is detected that the temperature difference between the first and second operating areas is greater than the preset threshold, if the current operating condition of the air conditioner matches the operating condition associated with the first direction, and the current temperatures corresponding to the first and second operating areas match the temperatures associated with the first direction, the air conditioner is controlled to supply air in the first direction. Because the air conditioner can be controlled to supply air in a predetermined direction when the temperature within the operating space is uneven based on the predetermined association, frequent adjustments to the air supply direction of the air conditioner are avoided, thereby maintaining a stable indoor temperature.

[0104] Reference Figure 5 Based on the above embodiment, in another embodiment, after step S40, the method further includes:

[0105] Step S50: When it is detected that the temperature difference between the first action area and the second action area is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to operate in a preset air supply mode.

[0106] In this embodiment, when it is detected that the temperature difference between the first action area and the second action area is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it is determined that the temperature within the action space of the air conditioner tends to be uniform. The air conditioner can be controlled to operate in a preset air supply mode, wherein the preset air supply mode is an anti-direct blowing mode, a soft wind mode, a wind-avoiding mode, or a no-wind mode, to improve the comfort of the air conditioner. The preset air supply mode can be an anti-direct blowing mode, a soft wind mode, a wind-avoiding mode, or a no-wind mode. The preset mode can be customized by the user or determined by the processing unit of the air conditioner.

[0107] It should be noted that the anti-direct blowing mode is an air supply mode that prevents the air from the air conditioner from blowing directly at the user. For example, in the anti-direct blowing mode, the wind guide plate can be adjusted to a preset angle, and the wind speed can be reduced to the minimum wind speed. The soft wind feeling mode is a mode that allows the user to feel the breeze. For example, in the soft wind feeling mode, the wind speed can be set to 20%, and the wind direction can be set to sweep the wind left and right. The wind avoidance mode refers to air supply that avoids the user. For example, in the wind avoidance mode, the air supply direction can be adjusted according to the detected user position to avoid air supply to the user. Or the air outlet direction is adjusted to the preset angle corresponding to the wind avoidance mode. The no-wind feeling mode refers to an air supply mode that makes the user unable to feel the air coming out of the air conditioner.

[0108] Optionally, in some application scenarios, when it is detected that the temperature difference between the first action area and the second action area is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the compressor operating frequency of the air conditioner can also be adjusted according to the indoor ambient temperature in the action space of the air conditioner.

[0109] For example, the air conditioner's compressor frequency can be adjusted based on the relative temperature between the indoor ambient temperature within the air conditioner's operating space and the air conditioner's set temperature. For example, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, if the indoor ambient temperature is lower than the set temperature, the compressor frequency is reduced. This reduces the air conditioner's energy consumption while preventing overcooling. When the indoor ambient temperature is higher than the set temperature, the air conditioner's compressor operating frequency can be determined based on the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature, and the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at the determined compressor operating frequency. The greater the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature, the higher the compressor operating frequency.

[0110] When the air conditioner is in heating mode, if the indoor ambient temperature is greater than the set temperature, the compressor frequency is reduced. Otherwise, the compressor operating frequency is adjusted based on the difference between the set temperature and the indoor ambient temperature.
