[0063] controlling the group of air deflector plates and the vertical air deflector strip to rotate according to the type of air sweeping, so as to send air to the target area.

[0064] Based on the hardware architecture of the air conditioner described above, the following describes various embodiments of the control method of the air conditioner.

[0065] In the first embodiment, taking an example that there is only one user in the space of the air conditioner:

[0066] Please refer to Figure 3 The control method of the air conditioner proposed in the embodiment includes the following steps:

[0067] Step S10, determining a type of air sweeping according to a target area where the user is located;

[0068] wherein the type of air sweeping includes at least one of front air sweeping, right side air sweeping, and left side air sweeping;

[0069] Step S20, controlling the group of air deflector plates and the vertical air deflector strip to rotate according to the type of air sweeping, so as to send air to the target area.

[0070] The embodiment takes an example of running in the air conditioner.

[0071] The air conditioner comprises an air outlet, a guide vane group and a vertical guide vane strip are arranged at the air outlet, the guide vane group is arranged at the air outlet, when the guide vane group moves to the air outlet, the air outlet can be blocked, when the guide vane group moves to the edge of the air outlet, the air outlet can be opened. The vertical guide vane strip is arranged in the air outlet, when the vertical guide vane strip swings in the air outlet, the air outlet direction can be adjusted.

[0072] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3-5 , the guide vane group comprises a first guide vane 11 and a second guide vane 12, the first guide vane 11 and the second guide vane 12 are arranged on the left and right sides of the air outlet respectively, when the first guide vane 11 and the second guide vane 12 move oppositely to connect, the first guide vane 11 and the second guide vane 12 form the blocking part of the air outlet, when the first guide vane 11 and the second guide vane 12 move oppositely to the left and right edges of the air outlet, the air outlet is opened. Optionally, the air conditioner is a cabinet type air conditioner.

[0073] The embodiment forms different air sweeping types by different cooperation of the guide vane group and the vertical guide vane strip, such as front air sweeping Figure 3 , right side air sweeping Figure 5 or left side air sweeping Figure 4 , etc.

[0074] Optionally, the air sweeping type is an air sweeping type adapted to the current position of the user, when air supply is carried out by using the air sweeping type, a large-angle and long-distance air supply effect can be achieved.

[0075] Optionally, the air sweeping type of the air conditioner in the embodiment comprises at least one of front air sweeping, right side air sweeping and left side air sweeping. The air sweeping type is formed by cooperation of different positions of the guide vane group and different rotation angles of the vertical guide vane strip. The following lists some embodiments of the positions of the guide vane group and the rotation angles of the vertical guide vane strip corresponding to the air sweeping type:

[0076] (I) the air sweeping type is front air sweeping, please refer to Figure 3 :

[0077] When the air sweeping type is front air sweeping, the step of controlling the guide vane group and the vertical guide vane strip to rotate according to the air sweeping type comprises:

[0078] controlling the first guide vane 11 to move to the left side of the air outlet, the second guide vane 12 to move to the right side of the air outlet, and the vertical guide vane strip 20 to rotate in the first preset angle range.

[0079] The so-called front-sweeping air is air blown out from a position directly opposite to the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0080] Therefore, when the sweeping type is the front-sweeping air, the first air deflector 11 is controlled to move to the left side of the air outlet, and the second air deflector 12 is controlled to move to the right side of the air outlet, so that the position directly opposite to the air outlet is not blocked by the air deflector group. The vertical air deflector strip 20 rotates within the first preset angle range to adjust the air blowing angle in the front direction of the air outlet.

[0081] Optionally, a plurality of vertical air deflector strips 20 are arranged in the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the vertical air deflector strips 20 divide the air outlet into a plurality of small air outlets, so as to increase the air supply distance based on the air blown out from the small air outlets. When the vertical air deflector strip 20 rotates within the first preset angle range, long-distance air supply within the first preset angle range is achieved.

[0082] Optionally, the first preset angle range is -30°-30°. It can be understood that the -30°-30° means that the median line of the air outlet is taken as 0°, and the air outlet is rotated by 30° to the right (positive angle) and 30° to the left (negative angle).

[0083] Optionally, in the embodiment in which the air conditioner has three sweeping areas, when the user uses the front-sweeping air type to sweep air in the middle sweeping area, it is ensured that air can be blown to the user from any position.

[0084] (II) The sweeping type is the left-side-sweeping air. Please refer to Figure 4 :

[0085] When the sweeping type is the left-side-sweeping air, the step of controlling the air deflector group and the vertical air deflector strip to rotate according to the sweeping type comprises:

[0086] The first air deflector 11 is controlled to move to the position of the second air deflector 12, and the vertical air deflector strip 20 is controlled to rotate within a second preset angle range.

[0087] The so-called left-side-sweeping air is air blown out from the left side of the air conditioner.

[0088] The first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 are controlled to abut each other and block the right side of the air outlet by controlling the first air deflector 11 to move to the position of the second air deflector 12. Meanwhile, the left side of the air outlet is in an open state. The vertical air deflector strip 20 is controlled to rotate within the second preset angle range, so that air flows to the left side of the air conditioner.

[0089] Optionally, the air outlet of the air conditioner is provided with a plurality of vertical air guiding strips 20, which divide the air outlet into a plurality of small air outlets, and the air blowing distance is increased based on the air blown by the small air outlets. When the vertical air guiding strips 20 swing in the second preset angle range, long-distance air supply in the second preset angle range is achieved.

[0090] Optionally, the second preset angle range is smaller than the first preset angle range. For example, the second preset angle range is -30° to -10°. It can be understood that -30° to -10° means that the median line of the air outlet is taken as 0°, and -10° (negative angle) is turned to the left and 30° (negative angle) is turned to the left.

[0091] Optionally, in the embodiment of the air conditioner having two air sweeping areas or three air sweeping areas, when the user is in the left air sweeping area, the left side air sweeping type is used for air sweeping, so that the user can be blown by the air in any position.

[0092] (Three) the air sweeping type is right side air sweeping, please refer to Figure 5 :

[0093] When the air sweeping type is right side air sweeping, the step of controlling the air guiding plate group and the vertical air guiding strip to rotate according to the air sweeping type comprises:

[0094] The second air guiding plate 12 is controlled to move to the position of the first air guiding plate 11, and the vertical air guiding strip 20 is controlled to rotate in a third preset angle range.

[0095] The right side air sweeping means that the air is swept in the right direction of the air conditioner.

[0096] By controlling the second air guiding plate 12 to move to the position of the first air guiding plate 11, the first air guiding plate 11 and the second air guiding plate 12 are connected, and the left side of the air outlet is blocked. The right side of the air outlet is in an open state. At the same time, the vertical air guiding strip 20 is controlled to rotate in a third preset angle range, so that the air flows in the right side of the air conditioner.

[0097] Optionally, the air outlet of the air conditioner is provided with a plurality of vertical air guiding strips 20, which divide the air outlet into a plurality of small air outlets, and the air blowing distance is increased based on the air blown by the small air outlets. When the vertical air guiding strips 20 swing in the third preset angle range, long-distance air supply in the third preset angle range is achieved.

[0098] Optionally, the third preset angle range is smaller than the first preset angle range, and optionally, the second preset angle range is 10°-30°. It can be understood that the 10°-30° means that the median line of the air outlet is taken as 0°, 10° is turned to the right (negative angle), and 30° is turned to the right (negative angle).

[0099] Optionally, in the embodiments in which the air conditioner has two or three air sweeping areas, when the user is in the right air sweeping area, the right side surface air sweeping type is adopted to sweep air, so that air can be blown to the user in any position.

[0100] It can be understood that the air sweeping types in the embodiments include but are not limited to the types listed above, and the types listed above are some implementation manners.

[0101] Optionally, the selection of the air sweeping type can be based on user selection, such as manual input or voice control selection.

[0102] Optionally, the air sweeping type can also be determined automatically. For example, the air conditioner is provided with a smart eye for detecting the position of a person, and the target area where the user is located is determined based on the detection of the smart eye. When the air conditioner is started or when the air sweeping mode of the air conditioner is started, the air conditioner determines the air sweeping type of the air conditioner by automatically detecting the area to which the position of the user belongs, and then controls the rotation of the air deflector group and the vertical air deflector strip of the air conditioner by using the air sweeping type, so as to achieve the air sweeping purpose of the corresponding air sweeping type.

[0103] Optionally, in some embodiments, the air outlet air sweeping area of the air conditioner includes a first area and a second area, for example, the median line of the air outlet is taken as a dividing line, the left area of the dividing line is the first air sweeping area, and the right area of the dividing line is the second air sweeping area.

[0104] For example, the air outlet air sweeping area includes a first area and a second area, and the step of determining the air sweeping type according to the target area where the user is located includes:

[0105] obtaining the target area where the user is located;

[0106] when the target area is located in the first area, determining that the air sweeping type is left side surface air sweeping;

[0107] when the target area is located in the second area, determining that the air sweeping type is right side surface air sweeping.

[0108] That is, when the user is in the first area, the air sweeping type is left side surface air sweeping, so that the air conditioner is controlled to perform left side surface air sweeping control, so that air is blown to the left side and to the user, and the user can feel the air.

[0109] When the user is in the second area, the air-sweeping type is right side surface, thus, the air conditioner is controlled to perform right side surface air-sweeping control, so that the air blows to the right side surface and blows to the user, and the user can feel the air.

[0110] It can be understood that, in combination with the control corresponding to the air-sweeping type, the air can reach a far air supply distance, so that the user can blow air at any position on the left side or the right side of the air conditioner, thereby improving the air blowing effect of the air conditioner.

[0111] Optionally, the first area covers a range of -45° to 0°. It can be understood that 0° to -45° means that the range covered by swinging -45° from 0° to the left side of the air outlet with the vertical line of the air outlet as 0°. The second area covers a range of 0° to 45°, and 0° to 45° means that the range covered by swinging 45° from 0° to the right side of the air outlet with the vertical line of the air outlet as 0°.

[0112] The embodiment combines the control of the air deflector group to achieve large-range air supply in the first area and the second area, and achieve large-angle and long-distance air supply.

[0113] Optionally, in other embodiments, the air outlet air-sweeping area of the air conditioner is preset to include a first area, a second area and a third area, and the air-sweeping area of the air outlet is sequentially divided into the first area, the third area and the second area from left to right, that is, the third area is located between the first area and the second area. Optionally, in some embodiments, the vertical line of the air outlet is taken as a 0° dividing line, the angle on the right side of the vertical line is taken as a positive angle, and the angle on the left side of the vertical line is taken as a negative angle. In an implementation, a range covered from -25° to 25° is defined as the third area, a range covered from -45° to -25° is defined as the first area, and a range covered from 25° to 45° is defined as the second area.

[0114] In the embodiment in which the air outlet air-sweeping area further includes a third area, the step of determining the air-sweeping type according to the target area in which the user is located further includes:

[0115] When the target area is located in the third area, it is determined that the air-sweeping type is front air-sweeping.

[0116] It should be noted that when the target area is located in the first area and the second area, the air-sweeping type is the above-mentioned left side surface air-sweeping and right side surface air-sweeping. Optionally, the control mode of the air deflector group and the vertical air deflector strip refers to the above-mentioned enumerated embodiments.

[0117] In the embodiment, the air outlet sweeping area is divided into at least three areas based on the air outlet, and the third area is located between the first area and the second area, that is, the front of the air outlet.

[0118] If the user is located in the third area, that is, the target area of the user is the third area, the sweeping type is set as front sweeping, so that the air conditioner is controlled to perform front sweeping, so that the air is blown to the front of the air conditioner and to the user, and the user can feel the air.

[0119] It can be understood that, in combination with the control corresponding to the sweeping type, the air can reach a far blowing distance, so that the user can blow air at any position on the left side, right side or front of the air conditioner, thereby improving the blowing effect of the air conditioner.

[0120] In the embodiment, the rotation of the air deflector group and the vertical air deflector strip is controlled in combination, so that the air conditioner has at least one sweeping type, and in the working process, the sweeping type is determined according to the target area of the user; then the rotation of the air deflector group and the vertical air deflector strip is controlled according to the sweeping type, so as to send the air to the target area. The vertical air deflector adjusts the air outlet direction, which can reduce the loss of directly blowing to the air deflector group, and the movement of the air deflector group changes the direction of the air, increases the sweeping range and angle of the air outlet, so that the user can feel the air at a position deviating from the air outlet by a larger angle or at a position farther away from the air outlet, thereby reducing the restriction of the air deflector group and the vertical air deflector on the air outlet angle.

[0121] In the second embodiment, the space of the air conditioner includes at least two users:

[0122] The embodiment is based on the above-mentioned embodiment, and in the embodiment, the sweeping type further includes three air flow sweeping.

[0123] Please refer to Figure 7 , the step of determining the sweeping type according to the target area of the user further includes:

[0124] Step S11, acquiring the number of users;

[0125] Step S12, determining whether the number of users is greater than a preset threshold;

[0126] If not, that is, when the number of users is less than or equal to the preset threshold, step S13 is performed, and when the target area is located in the first area, the sweeping type is determined as left side sweeping, when the target area is located in the second area, the sweeping type is determined as right side sweeping, or when the target area is located in the third area, the sweeping type is determined as front sweeping.

[0127] If yes, i.e. if the number of users is greater than the preset threshold, step S14 is performed to determine that the air-sweeping type is three-air-flow air-sweeping.

[0128] Optionally, the preset threshold is greater than or equal to 1.

[0129] Optionally, in the embodiment, the air-sweeping type further includes three-flow air-sweeping. Please refer to Figure 6 .

[0130] When the air-sweeping type is three-air-flow air-sweeping, the step of controlling the air deflector set and the vertical air deflector strip to rotate according to the air-sweeping type includes:

[0131] controlling the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 to swing at the air outlet, and controlling the vertical air deflector strip 20 to rotate within a first preset angle range, wherein the distance between the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 is kept at a preset distance during the swinging of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12, and the rotating direction of the vertical air deflector strip 20 is opposite to the swinging direction of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12.

[0132] The so-called three-air-flow air-sweeping means that the air outlet of the air conditioner is divided into three air flows, and air is blown into the room through air-sweeping.

[0133] In the embodiment, the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 are controlled to move to a position at a distance of the preset distance, and the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 are controlled to swing at the air outlet while keeping the preset distance. The gap between the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 forms the first air flow, the gap between the first air deflector 11 and the left edge position of the air outlet forms the second air flow, and the gap between the second air deflector 12 and the right edge position of the air outlet forms the third air flow. During the swinging of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12, the three air flows are adjusted in direction along with the swinging of the air deflector set. At the same time, the vertical air deflector strip 20 rotates within the first preset angle range to adjust the air outlet direction of the air outlet.

[0134] Optionally, the size of the gap between the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 can be different based on different types of air conditioners. Optionally, the size of the preset distance (gap) affects the air supply distance and range of the air outlet. The size of the preset distance is related to the moving direction of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 and the rotating direction of the vertical air deflector 20. Through tests, it is found that when the preset distance is small, the moving direction of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 20 is opposite to the rotating direction of the vertical air deflector 20, so that the air supply effect of the air conditioner is better (the range is wider and the air supply distance is farther). When the preset distance is large, the moving direction of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 is the same as the rotating direction of the vertical air deflector 20, so that the air supply effect of the air conditioner is better (the range is wider and the air supply distance is farther).

[0135] When there are many people in the action space of the air conditioner, the people can be distributed at different positions. In this case, the embodiment controls the three air flow sweeping of the air conditioner to make the users distributed at different positions can be blown by the air. It can be understood that in the rotating process of the vertical air deflector, the air supply distance is increased, and in the swinging process of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12, the air of the air outlet is guided to a larger angle.

[0136] Optionally, a plurality of vertical air deflectors 20 are arranged in the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the vertical air deflectors 20 divide the air outlet into a plurality of small air outlets, and the air supply distance is increased based on the air blown by the small air outlets. When the vertical air deflector 20 swings in the first preset angle range, long-distance air supply in the first preset angle range is realized.

[0137] Optionally, the first preset angle range is -30°-30°. It can be understood that the -30°-30° means that the median line of the air outlet is taken as 0°, and the right rotation is 30° (positive angle) and the left rotation is 30° (negative angle).

[0138] Optionally, in some embodiments, the air outlet sweeping area includes a first area, a second area and a third area. When there are a plurality of users in the action space of the air conditioner, all the users can be in a fixed area. The corresponding sweeping types of the users in different areas can be different.

[0139] When all users are in the first area, and / or all users are in the second area, that is, when all target areas where users are located are located in the first area and / or the second area, the three-air-flow sweeping air mode is used to sweep air. The three-air-flow sweeping air can make the sweeping air range wider, so as to ensure that all users in the first area and / or the second area can be blown by air, and improve the adjusting effect of the air conditioner.

[0140] When all users are in the third area, that is, when all target areas where users are located are located in the third area, the front-sweeping-air mode can be used to sweep air. The third area air outlet effect is improved, so that the air blowing effect of users in the third area is better.

[0141] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the air conditioner is turned on, if it is detected that the number of users is greater than the preset threshold, and the target area where the user is located is the first area and the second area, the air deflector group and the vertical air deflector strip are first controlled to rotate, so that the air conditioner is switched between the front-sweeping-air mode and the three-air-flow sweeping air mode; after a preset time period, the target area where the user is located is determined to determine the sweeping air type, for example, when all users are in the first area and / or the second area, the three-air-flow sweeping air type is determined, and the three-air-flow sweeping air is switched to. When the user is in the third area, the front-sweeping-air type is determined, and the front-sweeping-air is switched to.

[0142] Optionally, in the embodiment, the swing position of the air deflector group and the rotation angle of the vertical air deflector strip corresponding to the sweeping air type can make the air reach a large angle of sweeping air at the same time, and the air is sent at a long distance (the air sending distance can reach at least 7 m).

[0143] In the embodiment, when there are multiple users in the air conditioner action space, the three-air-flow sweeping air mode is used to sweep air, so that users in each place in the action space can be blown by air, and the air blowing effect of the air conditioner is improved.

[0144] Third embodiment

[0145] Based on the above-mentioned second embodiment, the air conditioner sweeping air mode is based on the first area, the second area and the third area of the air outlet sweeping area. Optionally, please refer to Figure 8 , the step of determining the sweeping air type according to the target area where the user is located further includes:

[0146] In step S15, when the target area is located in the first area, the second area and the third area, the sweeping air type is determined to be switched between the front-sweeping-air mode and the three-air-flow sweeping air mode.

[0147] That is, when there are people in the first area, the second area and the third area, the air conditioner's air deflector group and vertical air deflector strip are controlled to periodically switch between the front-sweeping mode and the three-airflow-sweeping mode. After the air conditioner's air deflector group and vertical air deflector strip are controlled to adjust for the first time length in the front-sweeping mode, the air conditioner's air deflector group and vertical air deflector strip are controlled to adjust for the second time length in the three-airflow-sweeping mode, and then switch back to the front-sweeping mode.

[0148] The embodiment further improves the blowing effect for users at different positions by switching between the front-sweeping mode and the three-airflow-sweeping mode.

[0149] The fourth embodiment is based on the first embodiment and the second embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 , after the step of determining the sweeping type according to the target area where the user is located, the method further includes:

[0150] In step S30, the fan speed of the air conditioner is determined according to the sweeping type.

[0151] In step S40, the fan of the air conditioner is controlled to rotate at the fan speed.

[0152] In the embodiment, the fan of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the sweeping type while the air deflector group and the vertical air deflector strip are controlled to rotate. The adjustment of the air deflector group, the vertical air deflector strip and the fan speed makes the air outlet range of the air conditioner reach -45°-45° and the air outlet distance reach more than 7m.

[0153] Optionally, the fan speed of the indoor unit corresponding to different sweeping types is different. For example, the fan speed corresponding to the front-sweeping mode is v1, the fan speed corresponding to the left-sidesweeping mode or the right-sidesweeping mode is v2, and the fan speed corresponding to the three-airflow-sweeping mode is v3. Optionally, v3>v2>v3.

[0154] The fifth embodiment is based on all the above embodiments. In the fifth embodiment, before the step of determining the sweeping type according to the target area where the user is located, the method further includes:

[0155] When the air conditioner is started, the number of users is obtained.

[0156] When the number of users is greater than a preset threshold, the air deflector group and the vertical air deflector strip are controlled to rotate, so that the air conditioner switches between the front-sweeping mode and the three-airflow-sweeping mode.

[0157] After a preset time length, the step of determining the sweeping type according to the target area where the user is located is performed.

[0158] In the embodiment, when the air conditioner is started, the number of users is determined first, if the number of users is greater than the preset threshold, it indicates that there are at least two people in the space of the air conditioner, at this time, when starting, the air deflector group and the vertical air deflector strip are controlled to rotate, and the air sweeping is switched between the front air sweeping and the three air flow air sweeping, so that each position in the space of the air conditioner can be blown by the air, before the position of the user is determined, it is ensured that all users can feel better air blowing effect.

[0159] After the air conditioner is switched between the front air sweeping and the three air flow air sweeping for a preset time, the type of air sweeping is determined according to the target area where the user is located, and the air deflector group and the vertical air deflector strip are adjusted to rotate according to the type of air sweeping. In this way, when starting, the user can still feel better air blowing effect before the target area where the user is located is obtained, and after the target area where the user is located is determined, the air is swept in a way that is more suitable for the position of the user, thereby further improving the air outlet effect of the air conditioner and enabling the user to achieve better experience.

[0160] It should be noted that the above is only an optional embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation using the content of the specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
