[0029] Embodiments of the present application are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar components are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals throughout the drawings. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are for the purpose of explanation only and are not to be understood as limiting the present application.

[0030] Reference is made below to Figures 1-6 A control method of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application is described below.

[0031] As Figure 6 shown, the air conditioner 100 is configured as a rectangular structure as a whole, and has a small overall size, so as to facilitate the portable movement of the air conditioner 100, thereby facilitating the placement in different scenarios, such as a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, etc., and occupying a small space, thereby facilitating the placement in a room. The air conditioner 100 has an evaporator 4, a condenser 3, and a fan assembly 6, the evaporator 4 includes a first evaporator and a second evaporator, the condenser 3 includes a first condenser and a second condenser, and the fan assembly 6 includes a motor, a fan wheel, and a bracket. The evaporator 4 and the condenser 3 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the shell, and are arranged in an up-down relationship, as Figure 3 shown, the first condenser and the second condenser are respectively arranged at the lower sides of the internal space of the shell, the first evaporator and the second evaporator are respectively arranged at the upper sides of the internal space of the shell, and the first evaporator and the first condenser are arranged in sequence in the up-down direction, while the second evaporator and the second condenser are arranged in sequence in the up-down direction, and the fan assembly 6 is installed at the intermediate position of the evaporator 4 and the condenser 3.

[0032] It should be noted that the air conditioner 100 is provided with a compressor, which is used to compress the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit of the air conditioner 100, wherein the compressor can extract the refrigerant from the evaporator 4, compress the refrigerant, and make the refrigerant change from a gaseous state to a liquid state, so as to increase the gas pressure, and the compressed refrigerant flows into the condenser 3 to be cooled and condensed, so as to dissipate heat to the air through the heat dissipation fins, at this time, the cooled refrigerant flows from the condenser 3 to the evaporator 4 and is injected into the evaporator 4 through the capillary tube, so as to make the pressure drop suddenly, and the liquid refrigerant immediately changes to a gaseous state to absorb heat from the air on the evaporator side through the heat dissipation fins. In this way, the compressor of the air conditioner 100 works continuously, so as to continuously absorb the heat at one end of the evaporator 4 into the refrigerant, and then send it to the condenser 3 to be dissipated to the air, thereby playing a role of adjusting the air temperature on the evaporator 4 side.

[0033] The bottom of the air conditioner 100 is also provided with a water collecting tray 1, which is designed as a bowl-shaped structure that is open upward, and when the air conditioner 100 is working, the water droplets formed by condensation of water vapor in the external air after flowing through the condenser 3 fall into the water collecting tray 1, the water collecting tray 1 is used to store the condensed water, so as to avoid the condensed water from flowing to the circuit structure or the ground in the room, thereby improving the safety of the air conditioner 100 and the tidiness of the room, and the water collecting tray 1 is provided with a water level sensor 2, which is used to detect the water level in the water collecting tray 1.

[0034] Meanwhile, the air conditioner 100 also comprises a partition plate 5 and a water pump 7, the partition plate 5 is arranged between the evaporator 4 and the condenser 3, and the evaporator 4 and the condenser 3 are separated by the partition plate 5, so as to improve the working efficiency of the evaporator 4 and the condenser 3, and the water pump 7 is arranged on the water collecting tray 1, and is used to deliver the condensed water in the water collecting tray 1 to the partition plate 5 through a rubber hose, and the lower side of the partition plate 5 is provided with a plurality of liquid distribution holes, and the condensed water can be evenly sprinkled on the upper side of the condenser 3 on both sides through the liquid distribution holes, so as to cool the condenser 3 and clean the condenser 3 by the condensed water.

[0035] As shown in FIG. Figure 1 The control method of the embodiment of the present application comprises:

[0036] S10: acquiring the running gear of the air conditioner 100 and judging the type of the running gear. It should be noted that the air conditioner 100 usually has a plurality of different gears, such as a silent gear, a comfortable gear and a high wind gear, etc., and different gears usually have different power, wind speed and noise volume, and the user can select the gear of the air conditioner 100 according to his own needs to improve his own comfort, and the air conditioner 100 can also set different gears according to different application scenarios, such as a kitchen gear, a living room gear and a bedroom gear, etc., so that the air conditioner 100 can be suitable for different scenes.

[0037] That is to say, when the air conditioner 100 is turned on, the running gear of the air conditioner 100 can be determined according to the information input by the user or the power of the air conditioner 100, and the running gear is judged to determine the type of the running gear, such as the current running gear belongs to the comfortable gear, or belongs to the silent gear, or belongs to the kitchen gear, so as to further control.

[0038] S20: when it is judged that the running gear is the kitchen gear, detecting the current water storage capacity of the water collecting tray 1 and acquiring the predicted water production capacity of the air conditioner 100. It should be noted that during cooking, the kitchen usually has a higher temperature and humidity, and when the air conditioner 100 is placed in the kitchen, the air conditioner 100 has a higher wind speed and power to effectively reduce the temperature in the kitchen to improve the comfort of the user, at this time, the condensation speed of the water droplets in the air conditioner 100 is faster, and the accumulation speed of the condensed water in the water collecting tray 1 is faster.

[0039] When the operating mode is determined to be the kitchen mode, the water level sensor 2 can detect the water in the water tray 1 to determine the current water storage in the water tray 1. The predicted water production during the cooking process can be calculated based on the kitchen environment, the user's personal habits or time settings, and the air conditioner 100's own conditions.

[0040] S30: Determine whether there is an overflow in the drip tray 1 based on the current water storage level and the predicted water production, and execute a safety operation if an overflow is detected. In other words, by adding the predicted water production to the current water storage level in drip tray 1, an estimated water volume is obtained. When the estimated water volume exceeds the set volume of drip tray 1, i.e., when the condensate in drip tray 1 will overflow, a safety operation is executed. Understandably, by executing the safety operation, the current water level in drip tray 1 can be reduced to prevent condensate from overflowing during cooking, thus avoiding triggering the full water protection and causing the air conditioner 100 to stop working, thereby improving user comfort.

[0041] According to the control method of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the air conditioner 100 is turned on, the setting of the air conditioner 100 is detected. When it is detected that the air conditioner 100 is in the kitchen setting, the current water storage volume in the water tray 1 and the predicted water production volume are obtained. When the predicted water production volume and the current water storage volume exceed the safe water level of the water tray 1, a safety operation is performed to avoid the water overflow protection during the cooking process, so that the user can enjoy the cooling of the air conditioner 100 during the cooking process, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, obtaining the predicted water production of air conditioner 100 includes:

[0043] S21: Detect the current temperature and humidity. In other words, the air conditioner 100 is equipped with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. When the air conditioner 100 is turned on, it can use these sensors to monitor the room in real time, thus obtaining the current room temperature and humidity. It can be understood that the higher the current temperature, the greater the power of the air conditioner 100, and the faster the condensation rate of water droplets inside the air conditioner 100. Similarly, the higher the current humidity, the faster the condensation rate of water droplets inside the air conditioner 100.

[0044] S22: Obtain historical water production parameters in the room where the air conditioner 100 is located. Specifically, when the air conditioner 100 is set to the kitchen mode, it can detect the water production parameters during use and save the data in the air conditioner 100. When the user turns on the air conditioner 100 to the kitchen mode again, the air conditioner 100 can retrieve the historical water production parameters stored in the air conditioner 100.

[0045] S23: obtaining a predicted water production according to the current temperature, the current humidity, and historical water production parameters, wherein the historical water production parameters include historical temperature, historical humidity, historical cooking time of the user, and corresponding water production.

[0046] That is, when the user opens the kitchen mode, the air conditioner 100 can detect the current temperature and the current humidity in the room through the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor, respectively, and detect the current water level in the water tray 1 through the water level sensor 2. After the mode detection is completed, the historical temperature, the historical humidity, the historical cooking time of the user, and the corresponding water production of the air conditioner 100 are called, and the predicted water production is obtained by combining the historical water production parameters, the current temperature, and the current humidity.

[0047] It should be noted that when the air conditioner 100 is running in the kitchen mode, the air conditioner 100 can continuously detect the temperature and humidity in the room through the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor, respectively, and continuously detect the current water level in the water tray 1 through the water level sensor 2, and save the detected data in the air conditioner 100; and when the user closes the kitchen mode, the air conditioner 100 records the use time of the kitchen mode this time, and detects the current water level in the water tray 1 through the water level sensor 2, thereby obtaining the water production of this use.

[0048] In the specific setting process, the interval time of detection can be set to 15s or 30s to detect the temperature and humidity in the entire cooking process, thereby recording the changes of the temperature and humidity in the cooking process, obtaining more detailed historical water production parameters, and improving the accuracy of the predicted water production next time.

[0049] Further, the historical water production parameters can be classified according to different time periods, such as classifying the historical water production parameters into morning, noon, and evening. When the user opens the kitchen mode of the air conditioner 100, the air conditioner 100 can call the corresponding historical water production parameters according to the current time to obtain the predicted water production. Thus, by subdividing the historical water production parameters, the accuracy of the predicted water production is further improved.

[0050] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11, determining whether the water tray 1 is in an overflow state according to the current water storage amount and the predicted water production includes: Figure 2

[0051] S31: comparing the sum of the current water storage amount and the predicted water production with the maximum water level height, that is, when the air conditioner 100 detects the current water storage amount of the water tray 1 through the water level sensor 2 and obtains the predicted water production, the current water storage amount and the predicted water production are added to obtain a predicted water level, and the size of the predicted water level and the maximum water level height is determined.

[0052] ​S32: When the sum of the current water storage and the predicted water production is greater than the maximum water level height, it is determined that there is an overflow condition. Wherein, a large amount of water vapor is usually generated during cooking, so that the condensate water generated by the air conditioner 100 is more, if the predicted water level is greater than the maximum water level height, that is, the condensate water in the water pan 1 will overflow the water pan 1 during cooking, the water full protection will be triggered to make the air conditioner 100 stop working, thereby affecting the user's experience, at this time, the safety operation needs to be performed to avoid the air conditioner 100 stopping working.

[0053] In the specific setting process, the actual overflow water level of the water pan 1 is greater than the maximum water level height, which is detected by the water level sensor 2, when the water level in the air conditioner 100 reaches the maximum water level height, the water full protection can be triggered to reserve enough safety space in the water pan 1, which can effectively prevent the condensate water in the water pan 1 from overflowing when the air conditioner 100 vibrates or is slightly tilted, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0054] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The control method further includes:

[0055] S41: Detect the inclination angle θ of the air conditioner 100. Wherein, the portable air conditioner 100 can be moved according to the user's needs to be placed in the corresponding space, after the position of the air conditioner 100 is changed, the air conditioner 100 may have a certain inclination, by setting a gyroscope in the air conditioner 100, and detecting the inclination angle of the air conditioner 100 by the gyroscope, when the inclination angle of the air conditioner 100 is too large, the user is reminded to adjust the position of the air conditioner 100, thereby ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can work normally.

[0056] S42: And the air conditioner 100 runs within the maximum allowed range of the inclination angle θ for a set time, and the water pump 7 is opened. That is, the inclination angle θ has a maximum allowed range, when the inclination angle θ of the air conditioner 100 is within the maximum allowed range, the air conditioner 100 can remain stable, and when the water level sensor 2 detects that the condensate water reaches the maximum water level height, the condensate water in the water pan 1 still cannot flow out of the water pan 1, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0057] Wherein, when the air conditioner 100 is turned on and runs for a set time, the condensate water in the water pan 1 remains stable, at this time, the water pump 7 can be turned on to extract the condensate water in the water pan 1 to the middle partition plate 5, and uniformly spray onto the upper side of the condenser 3 through the liquid distribution hole, so as to cool the condenser 3 and clean the condenser 3 with the condensate water, and slow down the noise of the whole machine during the starting stage, thereby improving the comfort of the user.

[0058] S43: controlling the rotating speed n of the water pump 7 according to the inclination angle θ of the air conditioner 100, wherein n=N*sin θ is satisfied, and N is the rated rotating speed of the water pump 7. Through the above setting, the air conditioner 100 can control the water pump 7 to operate at different rotating speeds according to different inclination angles θ, and the greater the inclination angle θ, the slower the rotating speed of the water pump 7, so that the condensate water is prevented from flowing from the middle partition plate 5 to the outside while meeting the drainage demand of the evaporator 4, and the reliability of the air conditioner 100 is improved.

[0059] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 2 performing the security operation includes:

[0060] S33: prompting the user to perform a drainage action according to the prompt information. That is, when the air conditioner 100 is in the kitchen mode and the predicted water level in the water receiving tray 1 is greater than the maximum water level, the air conditioner 100 stops working and sends a prompt information, such as a continuously flashing light, or sends a voice prompt, or sends a voice prompt and a light prompt at the same time. In this way, the user is reminded to drain the condensate water in the water receiving tray 1 in advance. When the air conditioner 100 detects that the water level of the condensate water in the water receiving tray 1 reaches a safe water level (i.e., a water level at which the condensate water will not overflow during the current cooking process), the air conditioner 100 starts working.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 2 the control method of the air conditioner further includes:

[0062] S34: when it is determined that the water receiving tray 1 does not have an overflow condition according to the current water storage amount and the predicted water production amount, controlling the air conditioner 100 to normally cool. That is, when the air conditioner 100 is in the kitchen mode and the predicted water level in the water receiving tray 1 is less than the maximum water level, the condensate water in the water receiving tray 1 cannot overflow the water receiving tray 1 during the cooking process. At this time, the air conditioner 100 is controlled to cool to reduce the temperature in the kitchen and improve the comfort of the user.

[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 5 the control method of the air conditioner further includes:

[0064] S50: when it is determined that the operating gear is the silent gear, controlling the water pump 7 of the air conditioner 100 to be closed and controlling the air conditioner 100 to be in the normal cooling mode. That is, when the operating gear of the air conditioner 100 is the silent gear, the power of the air conditioner 100 is low, the temperature of the evaporator 4 is low, and the condensate water sprayed to the evaporator 4 has little effect on the temperature of the evaporator 4. At this time, the water pump 7 is closed to reduce the noise of the air conditioner 100, thereby greatly reducing the noise of the air conditioner 100 in the silent gear and improving the satisfaction of the user.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1,Figure 5 As shown, the control method further comprises:

[0066] S60: when it is determined that the running gear is neither the kitchen gear nor the silent gear, the air conditioner 100 is controlled to perform normal refrigeration. That is, when the running gear of the air conditioner 100 is the comfort gear or the high wind gear, the power of the air conditioner 100 is high, and the temperature of the evaporator 4 is high. The water pump 7 is normally started to spray the condensed water to the evaporator 4, so as to cool the evaporator 4 and reduce the temperature of the evaporator 4, thereby enabling the air conditioner 100 to blow out cold air with a lower temperature, so as to quickly reduce the indoor temperature, improve the comfort of the user, greatly improve the efficiency of the air conditioner 100, and effectively reduce the energy consumption.

[0067] The application further provides a control device of an air conditioner.

[0068] The control device of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the application, the air conditioner 100 has a water pan 1, and the control device comprises an identification module, an acquisition module and a control module. The identification module is used to acquire the running gear of the air conditioner 100 and determine the type of the running gear. That is, when the air conditioner 100 is started, the identification module can determine the running gear of the air conditioner 100 according to the information input by the user or the power of the air conditioner 100, determine the running gear, and identify the type of the running gear, such as whether the current running gear belongs to the comfort gear, the silent gear or the kitchen gear, so as to further control.

[0069] When the identification module determines that the running gear is the kitchen gear, the acquisition module can detect the condensed water in the water pan 1 through the water level sensor 2 to determine the current water storage amount in the water pan 1, and the acquisition module can calculate the predicted water production amount in the current cooking process according to the environmental conditions of the kitchen, the personal habits of the user or the time setting, and in combination with the self-condition of the air conditioner 100.

[0070] Further, the control module adds the predicted water production amount to the current water storage amount in the water pan 1 to obtain the estimated water amount. When the estimated water amount exceeds the set volume of the water pan 1, that is, the condensed water in the water pan 1 will overflow the water pan 1, the control module controls the air conditioner 100 to perform a safety operation to reduce the current water level of the water pan 1, so as to avoid the overflow of the condensed water during the cooking process, avoid triggering the full water protection to cause the air conditioner 100 to stop working, and improve the comfort of the user.

[0071] Therefore, by the control device in the application, when the air conditioner 100 is turned on, the gear of the air conditioner 100 is detected, when it is detected that the air conditioner 100 is in the kitchen gear, the current water storage amount in the water pan 1 and the predicted water production amount of this time are obtained, when the predicted water production amount and the current water storage amount exceed the safe water level of the water pan 1, the safety operation is performed to avoid the water full protection during cooking, so that the user can enjoy the cooling of the air conditioner 100 during cooking, thereby improving the comfort of the user.

[0072] It should be noted that the control device of the air conditioner of the embodiment of the application is applicable to the control method of the air conditioner of any of the above embodiments, and the same as the above method steps in the specific implementation, which will not be described here.

[0073] The application further provides an air conditioner 100.

[0074] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the application, the air conditioner 100 comprises a memory, a processor and a control program of the air conditioner 100 stored on the memory and executable on the processor, when the processor executes the control program of the air conditioner 100, the control method of the air conditioner according to any of the above embodiments is realized. The air conditioner 100 can detect its gear when it is turned on, when it is detected that the air conditioner 100 is in the kitchen gear, the current water storage amount in the water pan 1 and the predicted water production amount of this time are obtained, when the predicted water production amount and the current water storage amount exceed the safe water level of the water pan 1, the safety operation is performed to avoid the water full protection during cooking, so that the user can enjoy the cooling of the air conditioner 100 during cooking, thereby improving the comfort of the user.
