[0079] In the field of air conditioner technology, the wind feeling usually refers to the wind direction or the magnitude of the air volume of the wind blown by the air conditioner that the user experiences. The wind feeling is crucial for the user's comfortable experience. Currently, to enable the user to have a better wind feeling experience, the air conditioner can perform image recognition through a camera to determine the angular position between the user and the air conditioner, and adjust the swing angle of the air conditioner to an angle at which the air conditioner can blow the wind to the position where the user is located according to the angular position between the user and the air conditioner, so that the user's actual wind feeling experience is in a relatively comfortable state. However, due to many uncertain factors in the home environment, such as obstacles, when there is an obstacle between the user and the air conditioner, since the wind blown out from the air conditioner outlet collides and rubs against the obstacle, the actual air volume and wind direction that the user experiences may not be the comfortable state that the user feels, which results in a poor actual wind feeling experience for the user.
[0080] Based on the above defects existing in the prior art, the present application creatively uses a flexible material to form the air outlet duct of the air conditioner. At the same time, based on the "Coanda effect" (also known as the "wall attachment effect") in fluid mechanics, it is detected by radar whether there is an obstacle between the air conditioner and the user. When it is detected that there is an obstacle between the air conditioner and the user and the existing obstacle affects the user's actual wind feeling experience, by adjusting the curvature of the inner wall of the air outlet duct of the air conditioner, that is, adjusting the curvature of the air outlet duct, so that the wind blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioner generates a vector deflection due to the "Coanda effect", achieving the effect of "winding" the air out. The wind blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioner can bypass the obstacle and blow towards the user. In this way, even when there is an obstacle between the air conditioner and the user and the obstacle affects the user's actual wind feeling experience, by changing the curvature of the air outlet duct of the air conditioner, the user can still have a relatively comfortable actual wind feeling experience. The control method of the air conditioner of the present invention will be further explained below through specific embodiments.
[0081] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic flow chart of the first embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention. The control method of the air conditioner includes:
[0082] Step S10, obtaining a first included angle between the air conditioner and the human body and a second included angle between the air conditioner and the obstacle, where the obstacle is located between the human body and the air conditioner;
[0083] In this embodiment, the control method of the air conditioner can be applied to wall-mounted air conditioners, cabinet air conditioners, mobile air conditioners, window air conditioners, and / or ceiling-mounted air conditioners, etc.
[0084] In this embodiment, the first included angle refers to the included angle formed between the air conditioner and the human body. The first included angle can be the included angle formed from one side of the human body to the other side with the air conditioner as the reference point; the second included angle refers to the included angle formed between the air conditioner and the obstacle. The second included angle can be the included angle formed from one side of the obstacle to the other side with the air conditioner as the reference point. The first included angle and the second included angle can be detected by a radar sensor.
[0085] Specifically, the air conditioner is provided with a radar sensor. Through the radar sensor, it can be detected whether there is an obstacle between the air conditioner and the human body. When an obstacle is detected between the air conditioner and the human body, the radar sensor can detect the specific positions of the human body and the air conditioner, and detect the first included angle between the human body and the air conditioner and the second included angle between the obstacle and the air conditioner.
[0086] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is a schematic diagram of the first included angle and the second included angle involved in the solution of the embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner can detect whether there is an obstacle between the air conditioner and the human body through the radar sensor. When an obstacle exists between the air conditioner and the human body, the radar sensor can detect the specific positions of the human body and the air conditioner, and detect the first included angle A between the human body and the air conditioner and the second included angle B between the obstacle and the human body. The detection range of the radar sensor is determined according to the specific model and functional characteristics of the radar sensor, and can be selected according to the actual situation. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0087] It should be noted that a radar device can also be separately set in the environment where the air conditioner is located. When a radar device is separately set in the environment where the air conditioner is located, the radar device can establish a communication connection with the air conditioner. The radar device can detect in real time whether there is an obstacle between the air conditioner and the human body. When an obstacle exists between the air conditioner and the human body, the radar device can detect the specific positions of the human body and the air conditioner, and detect the first included angle between the human body and the air conditioner and the second included angle between the obstacle and the air conditioner, and send the detected first included angle between the human body and the air conditioner and the second included angle between the obstacle and the air conditioner to the air conditioner for subsequent processing.
[0088] Step S20, adjust the radian of the inner wall of the air duct of the air outlet duct according to the first included angle and the second included angle, so that the air flow at the air outlet of the air conditioner deflects vectorially to bypass the obstacle and blows towards the human body, and the inner wall of the air duct is made of a flexible material.
[0089] In this embodiment, after the air conditioner obtains the first angle between the human body and the air conditioner and the second angle between the obstacle and the air conditioner, it determines whether the first angle is less than the second angle. When the first angle is less than the second angle, it indicates that the obstacle affects the actual wind feeling experience of the human body. At this time, the radian of the inner wall of the air duct of the air outlet duct is adjusted according to the first angle and the second angle, so that the air blown out of the air outlet of the air conditioner produces the Coanda effect and deflects vectorially around the obstacle and blows towards the human body. Among them, the inner wall of the air outlet duct of the air conditioner is arranged in an arc shape, and the inner wall of the air outlet duct of the air conditioner is made of a flexible material. The radian of the inner wall of the air duct can be adjusted arbitrarily, and the specific material of the inner wall of the air duct can be selected according to actual needs. This embodiment does not make a limitation on this. Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the normal air outlet and the bypass air outlet of the air conditioner involved in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0090] It can be understood that when the first angle is greater than the second angle, it indicates that the obstacle has no influence on the actual wind feeling experience of the human body. At this time, it is not necessary to adjust the radian of the inner wall of the air outlet duct.
[0091] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, when there is an obstacle between the air conditioner and the human body and the obstacle affects the actual wind feeling experience of the human body, by obtaining the first angle between the human body and the air conditioner and the second angle between the obstacle and the air conditioner, the radian of the inner wall of the air outlet duct is adjusted according to the obtained first angle and the second angle, so that the air blown out of the air outlet of the air conditioner deflects vectorially around the obstacle and blows towards the human body. In this solution, by adjusting the radian of the inner wall of the air outlet duct, the air blown out of the air outlet of the air conditioner bypasses the obstacle and reaches the human body, so that the actual air volume and air direction experienced by the user are in a state that the user feels comfortable, and the actual wind feeling experience of the user is improved.
[0092] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic flowchart of the second embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention. Based on the first embodiment, the steps of S20 above include:
[0093] Step S21, obtaining the first distance between the air conditioner and the human body and the second distance between the air conditioner and the obstacle;
[0094] In this embodiment, the first distance refers to the straight-line distance between the air conditioner and the human body, and the second distance refers to the straight-line distance between the air conditioner and the obstacle. After the air conditioner obtains the first angle between the human body and the air conditioner and the second angle between the obstacle and the air conditioner, when the first angle is less than the second angle, the specific positions of the human body and the obstacle are detected by the radar sensor of the air conditioner, and the first distance between the human body and the air conditioner and the second distance between the obstacle and the air conditioner are detected.
[0095] Step S22: Determine the target radian of the inner wall of the air duct according to the first distance, the second distance, the first included angle, and the second included angle.
[0096] After the air conditioner obtains the first distance between the human body and the air conditioner and the second distance between the obstacle and the air conditioner, it determines the target radian of the inner wall of the air duct based on the first included angle, the second included angle, the first distance, and the second distance. Herein, the target radian refers to the radian condition that the inner wall of the air duct needs to meet to achieve the effect that the air blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioner bypasses the obstacle and blows towards the human body.
[0097] Specifically, the air conditioner can obtain the first ratio of the first distance to the second distance, obtain the second ratio of the second included angle to the first included angle, determine the target parameter value of the radian influence parameter as the product of the first ratio and the second ratio, and determine the target radian of the inner wall of the air duct according to the target parameter value of the radian influence parameter. Wherein, the air conditioner presets a radian table of the corresponding relationship between the radian influence parameter and the radian of the inner wall of the air duct, and the target radian of the inner wall of the air duct corresponding to the target parameter value of the radian influence parameter can be queried through the radian table.
[0098] For example, assume that the first distance between the human body and the air conditioner is a, the first included angle between the human body and the air conditioner is A; the second distance between the obstacle and the air conditioner is b, and the second included angle between the obstacle and the air conditioner is B; R represents the radian, and R [] represents the radian table. Then the first ratio is: a / b; the second ratio is: B / A; the target parameter value of the radian influence parameter is: a / b * B / A; the radian R of the inner wall of the air duct = R [a / b * B / A], and the target radian of the inner wall of the air duct corresponding to the target parameter value of the radian influence parameter is determined by querying the radian table R [].
[0099] Step S23: Determine the target radius of the inner wall of the air duct according to the target radian.
[0100] After the air conditioner obtains the target radian of the inner wall of the air duct, it can calculate the target radius of the inner wall of the air duct through the target radian. Herein, the target radius is the radius corresponding to the inner wall of the air duct when the radian of the inner wall of the air duct is the target radian.
[0101] Step S24: Adjust the radius of the inner wall of the air duct to the target radius to adjust the radian of the inner wall of the air duct to the target radian, so that the air blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioner deflects vectorially to bypass the obstacle and blow towards the human body. The inner wall of the air duct is made of a flexible material.
[0102] After the air conditioner determines the target radius of the inner wall of the air duct, it adjusts the radius of the inner wall of the air duct to the target radius, so that the radian of the inner wall of the air duct is adjusted to the target radian. When the radian of the inner wall of the air duct is at the target radian, the air blown out of the air outlet of the air conditioner will deflect vectorially, and the blown air can bypass obstacles and blow towards the human body, improving the actual wind feeling experience of the human body. The air conditioner can adjust the radius of the inner wall of the air duct to the target radius in various ways.
[0103] Optionally, determine the operating parameters of the motor according to the target radius, and control the motor to operate according to the operating parameters to adjust the radius of the inner wall of the air duct to the target radius. Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 Figure 1 is a first schematic diagram of the air outlet duct of the air conditioner involved in the embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner includes a motor (not marked in the figure). The air conditioner can fixedly install a stretching structure 2 on the inner wall 1 of the air duct of the air outlet duct, drive-connect the motor with the stretching structure 2. The motor can drive the stretching structure 2 to move, and adjust the radius of the inner wall 1 of the air duct through the movement of the stretching structure 2, so as to adjust the radian of the inner wall 1 of the air duct. After the air conditioner obtains the target radius of the inner wall 1 of the air duct, it determines the operating parameters of the motor according to the obtained target radius. When the motor operates according to the operating parameters, it can drive the stretching structure 2 to stretch the inner wall 1 of the air duct, adjust the radius of the inner wall 1 of the air duct to the target radius, and thus adjust the radian of the inner wall 1 of the air duct to the target radian. In this embodiment, the motor of the air conditioner drives the stretching structure 2 on the inner wall 1 of the air duct to adjust the radius of the inner wall 1 of the air duct to the target radius, so as to adjust the radian of the inner wall 1 of the air duct to the target radian, realizing that the air blown out of the air outlet of the air conditioner deflects vectorially and bypasses obstacles to blow towards the human body, improving the actual wind feeling experience of the human body.
[0104] Optionally, determine the adjustment parameters of the adjuster according to the target radius; control the adjuster to operate according to the adjustment parameters to adjust the radius of the inner wall of the air duct to the target radius. Specifically, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 Figure 2 is a second schematic diagram of the air outlet duct of the air conditioner involved in the embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner can fixedly install an adjuster 3 on the inner wall 1 of the air duct of the air outlet duct. The radius of the inner wall 1 of the air duct can be adjusted through the adjuster 3, so as to adjust the radian of the inner wall 1 of the air duct. After the air conditioner obtains the target radius of the inner wall 1 of the air duct, it determines the adjustment parameters of the adjuster 3 according to the obtained target radius. When the adjuster 3 operates according to the adjustment parameters, it can adjust the radius of the inner wall 1 of the air duct to the target radius, so as to adjust the radian of the inner wall 1 of the air duct to the target radian, realizing that the air blown out of the air outlet of the air conditioner deflects vectorially and bypasses obstacles to blow towards the human body, improving the actual wind feeling experience of the human body. At least one adjuster 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall 1 of the air duct of the air outlet duct of the air conditioner.
[0105] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 9 ,Figure 9 This is the third schematic diagram of the air outlet duct of the air conditioner involved in the embodiment of the present invention. The adjusting member 3 and the stretching structure 2 can be simultaneously arranged on the inner wall 1 of the duct. The adjusting member 3 and the stretching structure 2 can cooperate with each other to adjust the radius of the inner wall 1 of the duct to the target radius, so as to adjust the radian of the inner wall 1 of the duct to the target radian, realizing that the air blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioner deflects vectorially around the obstacle and blows towards the human body, improving the actual wind feeling experience of the human body.
[0106] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the target radian of the inner wall of the duct is determined by the first distance and the first angle between the human body and the air conditioner, and the second distance and the second angle between the obstacle and the air conditioner. The target radius of the inner wall of the duct is determined according to the target radian of the inner wall of the duct, and then the radius of the inner wall of the duct is adjusted to the target radius, so as to adjust the radian of the inner wall of the duct to the target radian. Through this solution, the radius of the inner wall of the duct is adjusted to the target radius, so as to adjust the radian of the inner wall of the duct to the target radian, realizing that the air blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioner deflects vectorially around the obstacle and blows towards the human body, improving the actual wind feeling experience of the human body.
[0107] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is the schematic flowchart of the third embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention. Based on the second embodiment, after the step S22, the following steps are further included:
[0108] Step S25, obtaining the maximum rotation speed of the fan of the air conditioner;
[0109] In this embodiment, after the air conditioner obtains the target radian of the inner wall of the duct, it automatically reads the maximum rotation speed of the fan of the air conditioner.
[0110] Step S26, determining the target rotation speed of the fan according to the maximum rotation speed of the fan and the target radian;
[0111] After the air conditioner reads the maximum rotation speed of the fan, it determines the target rotation speed of the fan according to the maximum rotation speed and the target radian of the inner wall of the duct. The target rotation speed of the fan is the rotation speed of the fan when the human body can feel a more comfortable air volume. Specifically, the air conditioner can obtain the third ratio of the second distance to the first distance; and determine the target rotation speed of the fan according to the third ratio, the maximum rotation speed of the fan and the target radian.
[0112] For example, assume that the maximum rotation speed of the fan of the air conditioner is S max ; the target rotation speed of the fan is S; the target radian is R; the first distance between the human body and the air conditioner is a; the second distance between the obstacle and the air conditioner is b. Then the third ratio is b / a, and the target rotation speed S of the fan = S max *b / a*R / π.
[0113] Step S27: Adjust the rotational speed of the blower to the target rotational speed to adjust the air volume of the air outlet of the air conditioner.
[0114] After the air conditioner obtains the target rotational speed of the blower, it controls the blower to operate at this target rotational speed, thereby adjusting the air volume of the air outlet of the air conditioner. In this embodiment, the target rotational speed of the blower is determined by the target curvature of the inner wall of the air duct, and the rotational speed of the blower is adjusted to this target rotational speed, which can achieve that the air volume of the air outlet of the air conditioner is a comfortable air volume felt by the human body in the presence of obstacles, and improve the actual wind feeling experience of the human body.
[0115] It should be noted that the air conditioner can also determine the target swinging angle of the swinging blade (air deflector) of the air conditioner through the target curvature of the inner wall of the air duct, adjust the swinging blade of the air conditioner to this target swinging angle, and adjust the air volume of the air outlet of the air conditioner through the swinging angle of the swinging blade, so as to achieve that the air volume of the air outlet of the air conditioner is a comfortable air volume felt by the human body in the presence of obstacles, and improve the actual wind feeling experience of the human body.
[0116] Furthermore, the air conditioner is also provided with an infrared sensor, which can detect the temperature of the human body. After the air conditioner adjusts the rotational speed of the blower to the target rotational speed, it detects the human body temperature through the infrared sensor. At the same time, the air conditioner can obtain its own set temperature, calculate the temperature difference between the human body temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner, correct the target rotational speed of the blower according to the temperature difference, and then adjust the rotational speed of the blower to the corrected target rotational speed, thereby adjusting the air volume of the air outlet of the air conditioner. In this embodiment, the target rotational speed of the blower of the air conditioner is corrected by the difference between the human body temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner, so that the air volume of the air blown out of the air outlet of the air conditioner can better meet the comfort requirements of the human body and improve the actual wind feeling experience of the human body.
[0117] In the technical solution provided by this embodiment, the target rotational speed of the blower is calculated through the target curvature of the inner wall of the air duct and the maximum rotational speed of the blower, and then the blower is controlled to operate at the target rotational speed. By controlling the rotational speed of the blower, the air volume of the air outlet of the air conditioner is adjusted, so as to achieve that the air volume of the air outlet of the air conditioner is a comfortable air volume felt by the human body in the presence of obstacles, and improve the actual wind feeling experience of the human body.
