Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of temperature regulating equipment, and in particular to an indoor temperature regulating device and a control method. Background Art

[0002] Indoor temperature control systems typically utilize air conditioners. A room air conditioner, also known as an air conditioner, regulates temperature and humidity. A wall-mounted air conditioner is a unit used to provide air temperature control to a room (usually a closed area). Its function is to regulate parameters such as temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and air flow rate within the room (or enclosed space or area) to meet human comfort or process requirements.

[0003] Currently, common air conditioners are typically installed in a corner of a room, limiting both the air delivery distance and angle. This often results in the cold air from the air outlet blowing directly onto people, rather than distributing it throughout the room. If the air conditioner serves a relatively large space, the temperature adjustment rate will be slow if the air conditioner's cold or hot air is simply spread naturally throughout the room as the cooling space increases.

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementations obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] The present invention provides an indoor temperature regulating device, including a hot and cold air outlet mechanism, an air flow auxiliary mechanism and an air outlet information detection mechanism, wherein the air flow auxiliary mechanism is arranged around the air outlet of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism and can accelerate the flow of air around the air outlet through the air flow auxiliary mechanism; the air outlet information detection mechanism is arranged at the air flow auxiliary mechanism or the air outlet, which can improve the uniformity of the air outlet coverage, and can blow the air outlet of the air conditioner to a greater extent to the entire space, thereby achieving full coverage of the indoor air conditioning cooling and heating effect, and is used to detect the air outlet information of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism and generate a signal for opening and closing the air flow auxiliary mechanism.

[0050] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the hot and cold air outlet mechanism includes an air conditioner indoor unit having an air outlet. The air flow assist mechanism includes a fan having a blowing portion formed thereon and provided with fan blades, which can disperse the air blown out of the air outlet to the surrounding area of ​​the room through the blowing portion. It should be noted that the fan and the air conditioner indoor unit in this embodiment can be provided separately or connected as a whole.

[0051] When the air flow assisting mechanism and the hot and cold air outlet mechanism are integrated, the air flow assisting mechanism is connected to the shell of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism, and the blowing part of the air flow assisting mechanism is arranged around the air outlet of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism, so as to quickly blow away the air around the air outlet of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism.

[0052] When the hot and cold air outlet mechanism is an air conditioner indoor unit, an air outlet can be set at the bottom of the air conditioner indoor unit, and the air flow auxiliary mechanism uses a fan, which is set at the bottom of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism. Multiple fans can be set. When the hot and cold air outlet mechanism and the air flow auxiliary mechanism are set as one, the air flow auxiliary mechanism can use multiple small fans, and the fans should be set as much as possible towards the direction of the air outlet.

[0053] In this illustrative embodiment, the air outlet information detection mechanism includes a first temperature detection unit and an information feedback unit. The first temperature detection unit is arranged on the air flow auxiliary mechanism or at the air outlet of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism. The first temperature detection unit is connected to the information feedback unit. The information feedback unit can generate a signal for opening and closing the air flow auxiliary mechanism based on the information detected by the first temperature detection unit.

[0054] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, the information feedback unit includes an alarm and a controller, and the first temperature detection unit and the alarm are respectively connected to the controller. The alarm can be an audible alarm or a light alarm. When people in the room hear or see the alarm signal, they can turn on or off the air flow auxiliary mechanism.

[0055] In another exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet information detection mechanism includes a second temperature detection unit and a control unit. The second temperature detection unit is arranged on the air flow auxiliary mechanism or at the air outlet of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism. The second temperature detection unit is connected to the control unit. The control unit can automatically control the opening and closing of the air flow auxiliary mechanism according to the information detected by the second temperature detection unit.

[0056] The first temperature detection unit, the second temperature detection unit and the space temperature detection unit may be temperature sensors.

[0057] In addition, the indoor temperature control device in this embodiment also includes a space temperature detection unit. The space temperature detection unit is located indoors, away from the air outlets of the hot and cold air outlet mechanisms, and is used to monitor the indoor temperature in real time. The hot and cold air outlet mechanisms and the space temperature detection unit are each connected to a control unit. The control unit is capable of controlling the operation of the hot and cold air outlet mechanisms based on the temperature information detected by the space temperature detection unit. Specifically, when the indoor space temperature detected by the space temperature detection unit does not reach the preset indoor space temperature, the control unit can control the hot and cold air outlet mechanisms to activate cooling or heating mode.

[0058] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the hot and cold air outlet mechanisms are provided with an air outlet guide structure that can guide air from the hot and cold air outlet mechanisms to the air flow assist mechanism. In this embodiment, the red air outlet guide structure includes an air guide plate that is fixed to the housing of the hot and cold air outlet mechanisms.

[0059] In addition, combined Figure 3 The control method for indoor temperature adjustment using the above-mentioned indoor temperature adjustment device is described in detail, which specifically includes:

[0060] Step S21, obtaining the air outlet information of the hot and cold air outlet mechanisms;

[0061] Step S22: Control the opening and closing of the air flow auxiliary mechanism according to the air outlet information.

[0062] In the above step S21, the air outlet information of the hot and cold air outlet mechanisms is obtained, including:

[0063] Acquiring first temperature information around the air outlet of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism by the first temperature detection unit or the second temperature detection unit in the above embodiment;

[0064] After a preset time, the second temperature information of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism is obtained through the first temperature detection unit or the second temperature detection unit in the above embodiment.

[0065] In the above step S22 of this embodiment, the process of controlling the opening and closing of the air flow auxiliary mechanism according to the air outlet information is implemented by the above controller or control unit, including:

[0066] Step S221, obtaining a temperature difference between the second temperature information and the first temperature information;

[0067] Step S222, comparing the temperature difference with a preset temperature difference range;

[0068] Step S223: Determine the operating status of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism based on the comparison result. It should be noted that if the temperature difference is within the preset temperature difference range, the hot and cold air outlet mechanism is determined to be in the off state; if the temperature difference exceeds the preset temperature difference range, the hot and cold air outlet mechanism is determined to be in the on state. The temperature sensor on the air flow auxiliary mechanism senses the temperature change around the air outlet of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism, and the operating status of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism is determined based on the temperature change.

[0069] Step S224, according to the operating status of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism, the opening and closing of the air flow auxiliary mechanism is controlled; when the hot and cold air outlet mechanism is in the open state, the air flow auxiliary mechanism is controlled to be in the open state; when the hot and cold air outlet mechanism is in the closed state, the air flow auxiliary mechanism is controlled to be in the closed state.

[0070] That is to say, in this embodiment, while the air conditioner is running, the fan is controlled to run, so that when the air conditioner is cooling or heating, the air flow in the indoor space where the air conditioner is located is accelerated by the linked fan, thereby accelerating the diffusion of cold air or hot air from the air conditioner in the indoor space, thereby achieving an increase in the temperature control rate of the air conditioner and also expanding the temperature control range of the air conditioner.

[0071] As an optional implementation method of the embodiment of the present invention, a space temperature detection unit is provided at a position indoors away from the air outlet of the hot and cold air outlet mechanism, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method further includes:

[0072] Detecting the indoor space temperature through a space temperature detection unit;

[0073] Determine whether the indoor space temperature reaches the indoor preset space temperature;

[0074] If the indoor space temperature does not reach the indoor preset space temperature, the cold and hot air outlet mechanisms are controlled to turn on the cooling state or the heating state.

[0075] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
