[0046] The realization, functional features and advantages of the object of the present invention will be further described with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Specific embodiments

[0047] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0048] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the air conditioner of the hardware operating environment involved in the embodiment solution of the present invention.

[0049] As Figure 1 shown, the air conditioner may include: a processor 1001, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a communication bus 1002, a user interface 1003, a network interface 1004, and a memory 1005. Among them, the communication bus 1002 is used to realize the connection and communication between these components. The user interface 1003 may include a display screen (Display) and an input unit such as a button. Optionally, the user interface 1003 may further include a standard wired interface and a wireless interface. The network interface 1004 may optionally include a standard wired interface and a wireless interface (such as a Wi-Fi interface). The memory 1005 may be a high-speed random access memory (Random Access Memory, RAM), or a stable memory (non-volatile memory), such as a disk memory. Optionally, the memory 1005 may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0050] Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 1 the device structure shown in

[0051] does not constitute a limitation to the air conditioner, and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine some components, or arrange different components. Figure 1 shown, in the memory 1005 as a storage medium, there may be included an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and an air conditioner control program.

[0052] In Figure 1In the air conditioner shown, the network interface 1004 is mainly used to connect to the external network and communicate data with other network devices; the user interface 1003 is mainly used to connect to user devices and communicate data with the user devices; the device of the present invention calls the air conditioner control program stored in the memory 1005 through the processor 1001 and executes the air conditioner control method provided by the embodiments of the present invention.

[0053] Based on the above hardware structure, an embodiment of the air conditioner control method of the present invention is proposed.

[0054] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic flowchart of the first embodiment of the air conditioner control method of the present invention.

[0055] In the first embodiment, the air conditioner control method includes:

[0056] Step S10, when the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode, obtain the environmental noise decibels of the current environment.

[0057] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be an air conditioner, such as a wall-mounted air conditioner, a cabinet air conditioner, and a fresh air machine and other devices with air conditioning capabilities. In addition, it can also be other types of air conditioners and other devices that can achieve the same or similar functions. This embodiment does not limit this. In this embodiment, the air conditioner is taken as an example for illustration.

[0058] It should be noted that since this solution aims at the problems of inability to automatically adjust the fresh air gear and large fresh air noise in the prior art, therefore, the air conditioner in this embodiment is an air conditioner with a fresh air function. Correspondingly, a corresponding fresh air mode can be set for the air conditioner, and the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be used in the fresh air mode.

[0059] In specific implementation, the air conditioner in this embodiment can be an air conditioner with only a fresh air function, or an air conditioner with multiple functions such as a fresh air function, a heating function, a cooling function, and a dehumidification function, or an air conditioner with other more functions. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0060] It should be understood that since in the process of user use, in some cases, it may be necessary to automatically adjust the fresh air gear, while in some cases, it is not necessary to automatically adjust the fresh air gear. Therefore, an automatic fresh air function can be set in the fresh air mode for the user to choose whether to turn on the automatic fresh air function. When the automatic fresh air function is not turned on, the air conditioner will not automatically adjust the fresh air gear, but will keep running at the fresh air gear set by the user; when the automatic fresh air function is turned on, the air conditioner can automatically adjust the fresh air gear according to the actual situation. Among them, the user can input instructions through the air conditioner remote control or the application program on the mobile terminal, and turn on or off the automatic fresh air function through the instructions input by the user.

[0061] It can be understood that when the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode, it can detect whether the automatic fresh air function is turned on. If it detects that the automatic fresh air function is turned on, it will obtain the ambient noise decibel of the current environment. If it detects that the automatic fresh air function is not turned on, no operation will be performed.

[0062] It should be noted that a sound detection device can be used to detect the ambient noise decibel of the current environment, and reference can be made to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic diagram of the setting of the sound detection device. The sound detection device can be set on the air conditioner, specifically on the indoor unit or the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. When the sound detection device is set on the indoor unit, the current environment is the indoor environment. When the sound detection device is set on the outdoor unit, the current environment is the outdoor environment. In order to achieve a better detection effect, more intelligent adjustment of the fresh air gear, and reduction of fresh air noise, in this embodiment, it is preferably to set the sound detection device indoors to detect the ambient noise decibel of the current indoor environment, that is, to use the sound detection device to detect the ambient noise decibel of the environment where the user is currently located. Among them, the sound detection device can be a sound detector. In addition, it can also be other devices that can achieve the same or similar functions. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0063] It can be understood that in addition to the above method of setting the sound detection device on the air conditioner, the sound detection device can also be set in other places indoors, and data transmission between the sound detection device and the controller of the air conditioner can be carried out through a wireless network, so that the controller of the air conditioner can obtain the ambient noise decibel. For example, the sound detection device can be set on the wall of the room where the indoor unit of the air conditioner is located. When it is necessary to obtain the ambient noise decibel of the current environment, the controller of the air conditioner can generate a detection instruction, send the detection instruction to the sound detection device, and the sound detection device triggers a detection operation according to the detection instruction to obtain the ambient noise decibel of the current environment, and then send the ambient noise decibel to the controller.

[0064] It should be noted that since the usage scenario of this solution is in an indoor scenario, when users are indoors, generally speaking, if the indoor environment is relatively quiet, it means that the user is very likely to be sleeping or about to fall asleep. In this case, the user is more sensitive to noise, and if the noise is too loud, it may affect the user's rest. And if there is a relatively loud sound indoors, it means that the user is very likely to be watching TV, playing games or chatting. In this case, a better fresh air ventilation effect needs to be provided for the user. Therefore, in this solution, sounds such as TV sounds, music sounds, talking sounds, and game sounds detected by the sound detection device indoors can all be regarded as noise, and the ambient noise decibels of these indoor environment noises are detected. If there are multiple noises at the same time, then the ambient noise decibels of the mixed noises in these indoor environments can be detected.

[0065] It should be understood that when the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode, it is possible to detect whether the automatic fresh air function of the air conditioner is turned on. If the automatic fresh air function has been turned on, that is, the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode and the automatic fresh air function is turned on, then the ambient noise decibels can be periodically detected by a sound detection device. For example, the ambient noise decibels of the current environment can be repeatedly detected every interval time t.

[0066] Step S20: Compare the ambient noise decibels with the initial noise decibels.

[0067] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the air conditioner turns on the automatic fresh air function, the initial fresh air gear can be determined and the initial noise decibels can be obtained, and the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at the initial fresh air gear. Then, during the operation, the current ambient noise decibels are periodically obtained, and the change of the noise decibels is determined according to the ambient noise decibels and the initial noise decibels, and the fresh air gear is linked and adjusted according to the change of the noise decibels.

[0068] It should be understood that for fresh air, the higher the fresh air gear, the higher the fresh air rotation speed and the greater the generated noise, and the lower the fresh air gear, the lower the fresh air rotation speed and the smaller the generated noise. Therefore, in order to avoid the influence of fresh air noise on users, the activity situation of users can be determined according to the change of the noise decibels. When the user needs to rest, the fresh air gear can be lowered to reduce the fresh air noise. When the user does not need to rest, the fresh air gear can be raised to improve the fresh air effect. Thus, the fresh air gear can be adjusted according to the ambient noise decibels and the initial noise to adjust the fresh air speed and improve the user experience.

[0069] It can be understood that after obtaining the ambient noise decibels of the current environment where the user is located, in order to determine the change of the noise decibels according to the ambient noise decibels Pc and the initial noise decibels P1, Pc can be compared with P1 to judge the magnitude relationship between the two. If Pc > P1, it means that the noise decibels have increased, and the fresh air gear can be raised. If Pc ≤ P1, it means that the noise decibels have decreased, and the fresh air gear can be lowered.

[0070] Step S30: Determine the target fresh air gear according to the comparison result and the initial fresh air gear.

[0071] It can be understood that after obtaining the comparison result through the above comparison operation, the target fresh air gear suitable for the current situation can be determined in combination with the comparison result and the initial fresh air gear. Among them, the comparison result can be divided into two types, namely: Pc > P1 and Pc ≤ P1.

[0072] It can be understood that after determining that the fresh air gear needs to be raised or lowered, a certain gear can be raised or lowered on the basis of the initial fresh air gear to obtain the target fresh air gear.

[0073] Step S40: Adjust the fresh air speed of the air conditioner according to the target fresh air gear.

[0074] It should be noted that the fresh air mode of the air conditioner may include multiple fresh air gears, and a corresponding fresh air speed can be set for each fresh air gear. For example, the fresh air gears can be set to five fresh air gears, namely fresh air gear one, fresh air gear two, fresh air gear three, fresh air gear four, and fresh air gear five. The fresh air speeds of these fresh air gears increase in sequence. Among them, the fresh air speed of fresh air gear one is the lowest, and the fresh air speed of fresh air gear five is the highest. In addition, the fresh air gears can be divided in other ways, and other numbers of fresh air gears can also be divided. This embodiment does not limit this. In this embodiment, the above five fresh air gears are taken as an example for illustration.

[0075] It should be understood that after determining the target fresh air gear in the above manner, the target fresh air speed corresponding to the target fresh air gear can be found, and then the fresh air speed of the air conditioner can be adjusted according to the target fresh air speed, so that the air conditioner operates at the target fresh air speed.

[0076] In specific implementation, if the determined target fresh air gear is fresh air gear one, the fresh air speed corresponding to fresh air gear one can be found as the target fresh air speed, and the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at the target fresh air speed; if the determined target fresh air gear is fresh air gear four, the fresh air speed corresponding to fresh air gear four can be found as the target fresh air speed, and the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at the target fresh air speed.

[0077] It can be understood that by adopting the above solution, the air conditioner can be controlled by linking the change of noise decibels with fresh air through sensors and big data means, and the fresh air speed of the air conditioner can be automatically adjusted according to the ambient noise decibel where the user is at that time. When the user is resting, the fresh air speed can be lowered to reduce the noise generated by fresh air, and when the user is not resting, the fresh air speed can be increased to improve the fresh air effect. Furthermore, the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be made more intelligent, and the fresh air utilization rate of the user can be improved.

[0078] It should be understood that when the user turns on the automatic fresh air function, the ambient noise decibel can be automatically detected in the above manner to adjust the fresh air rotation speed. If the user feels that the automatic adjustment is no longer needed, the automatic fresh air function can be selected to be turned off. When the air conditioner exits the automatic fresh air function, it operates at the initial fresh air gear until the user issues a gear switching instruction or a mode switching instruction, etc., and adjusts according to the instruction input by the user.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode, the ambient noise decibels of the current environment are obtained; the ambient noise decibels are compared with the initial noise decibels; the target fresh air gear is determined according to the comparison result and the initial fresh air gear; the fresh air speed of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the target fresh air gear, so that the fresh air gear can be adaptively adjusted according to the change of the ambient noise decibels of the current environment compared with the initial noise decibels to adjust the fresh air speed, which can solve the problem that the fresh air noise is too loud when the user is sleeping and affect the user's rest, so as to improve the user's fresh air use experience.

[0080] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, based on the first embodiment, the second embodiment of the air conditioner control method of the present invention is proposed. The step S30 includes:

[0081] Step S301, when the comparison result is that the ambient noise decibels are greater than the initial noise decibels, increase the gear on the basis of the initial fresh air gear to obtain the target fresh air gear.

[0082] It should be noted that the adjustment strategy can be preset to increase / decrease N gears, for example, it can be increased / decreased by one gear. In addition, according to the user's usage situation, it can also be set to increase / decrease two gears or three gears or more gears, etc. This embodiment does not limit this, and in this embodiment, one gear is taken as an example for illustration.

[0083] It should be understood that if Pc > P1, it means that the user is very likely not in a resting state, and the gear can be increased on the basis of the initial fresh air gear, so as to determine the target fresh air gear. In this case, the target fresh air gear can be the initial fresh air gear + 1.

[0084] In a specific implementation, for example, assume that the initial fresh air gear is fresh air third gear. If Pc > P1, it is necessary to increase one gear on the basis of the fresh air third gear, and take the fresh air fourth gear as the target fresh air gear to provide a better ventilation effect.

[0085] In a specific implementation, if the initial fresh air gear is fresh air fifth gear, this is already the highest fresh air gear. If Pc > P1, the initial fresh air gear remains unchanged, and the initial fresh air gear is still taken as the target fresh air gear.

[0086] Step S302, when the comparison result is that the noise decibels are less than or equal to the initial noise decibels, decrease the gear on the basis of the initial fresh air gear to obtain the target fresh air gear.

[0087] It should be understood that if Pc ≤ P1, it means that the user is very likely in a resting state, and the gear can be decreased on the basis of the initial fresh air gear, so as to determine the target fresh air gear. In this case, the target fresh air gear is the initial fresh air gear - 1.

[0088] In a specific implementation, assume that the initial fresh air gear is the third fresh air gear. If Pc ≤ P1, it is necessary to lower one gear based on the third fresh air gear and use the second fresh air gear as the target fresh air gear to reduce the fresh air noise.

[0089] In a specific implementation, if the initial fresh air gear is the first fresh air gear, which is already the lowest fresh air gear in this case. If Pc ≤ P1, the initial fresh air gear remains unchanged and is still used as the target fresh air gear.

[0090] Furthermore, to avoid resource waste caused by frequent adjustment, while achieving the above effects, the adjustment frequency can be minimized. Therefore, a preset threshold M can be set in advance according to the actual situation. When Pc > P1, calculate the first difference between Pc and P1, the first difference = Pc - P1, and compare the first difference with M. If Pc > P1 and Pc - P1 > M, then increase the fresh air gear. If Pc > P1 and Pc - P1 ≤ M, the initial fresh air gear remains unchanged.

[0091] When Pc ≤ P1, calculate the second difference between P1 and Pc, the second difference = P1 - Pc, and compare the second difference with M. If Pc ≤ P1 and P1 - Pc > M, then lower the fresh air gear. If Pc ≤ P1 and P1 - Pc ≤ M, the initial fresh air gear remains unchanged.

[0092] It can be understood that based on the solution in this embodiment, the fresh air speed can be adjusted in the following scenarios: Before going to bed, the user wants to watch TV for a while. In this case, a higher fresh air gear is needed to ensure a better ventilation effect. However, the user is afraid that the fresh air gear will not be lowered when going to sleep later, and the noise generated when the air conditioner operates at a higher fresh air gear will affect their rest. Therefore, the user can choose to turn on the automatic fresh air function. The air conditioner operates at the initial fresh air gear, and the initial noise decibel is detected by a sound detection device. When the user wants to go to sleep, the TV can be directly turned off. Since there is no longer the sound emitted by the TV in the room, the detected environmental noise decibel is smaller than the initial noise decibel. If the value by which the environmental noise decibel is smaller than the initial noise decibel exceeds the preset threshold, the fresh air gear can be lowered, and the air conditioner can operate at a lower fresh air gear, generating less fresh air noise and avoiding affecting the user's rest. When the user wakes up in the morning or before waking up, there will be sounds such as the alarm clock ringing, talking, or walking. If the value by which the environmental noise decibel is larger than the initial noise decibel exceeds the preset threshold, the fresh air gear can be increased, and the air conditioner can operate at a higher fresh air gear to obtain a higher ventilation effect and bring a better waking-up experience to the user.

[0093] It should be noted that although there are also solutions in the prior art to adjust the fresh air gear according to the noise value, in these solutions, the fresh air gear is directly determined according to the current noise value, and it cannot be restored to the previous gear after adjustment. In this solution, the gear when the fresh air is turned on can be used as the initial fresh air gear, and then the fresh air gear can be adjusted based on the initial fresh air gear according to the change of the noise decibel, which is more in line with the user's usage situation and achieves a better control effect.

[0094] In this embodiment, when the comparison result is that the environmental noise decibel is greater than the initial noise decibel, the gear is increased based on the initial fresh air gear to obtain the target fresh air gear; when the comparison result is that the noise decibel is less than or equal to the initial noise decibel, the gear is decreased based on the initial fresh air gear to obtain the target fresh air gear. Thus, the fresh air gear can be increased or decreased according to the change between the environmental noise decibel and the initial noise decibel to increase or decrease the fresh air speed. By performing adaptive adjustment according to the change of the noise decibel, it can not only reduce the impact of fresh air noise on the user and enable the user to rest better, but also improve the ventilation effect and bring a better waking-up experience to the user.

[0095] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, a third embodiment of the air conditioner control method of the present invention is proposed based on the first embodiment or the second embodiment. In this embodiment, based on the first embodiment, before the step S20, it further includes:

[0096] Step S01, when receiving an automatic fresh air instruction, control the air conditioner to turn on the automatic fresh air function according to the automatic fresh air instruction, and obtain the initial noise decibel of the current environment.

[0097] It should be understood that when the user needs to use the automatic fresh air function, after controlling the air conditioner to enter the fresh air mode, an automatic fresh air instruction can be input. When the air conditioner receives the automatic fresh air instruction input by the user, it can turn on the automatic fresh air function, and trigger a noise decibel detection instruction when turning on the automatic fresh air function, so that the sound detection device detects the current environment according to the noise decibel detection instruction to obtain the initial noise decibel. Herein, the automatic fresh air instruction in this embodiment specifically refers to an automatic fresh air opening instruction.

[0098] Step S02, determine the initial fresh air gear according to the automatic fresh air instruction.

[0099] It can be understood that when the air conditioner receives the automatic fresh air instruction input by the user, it can also determine the initial fresh air gear according to the automatic fresh air instruction, which can be at least divided into the following two cases: In the first case, when the user inputs the automatic fresh air instruction, the user can add gear information to the automatic fresh air instruction. The air conditioner can turn on the automatic fresh air function according to the automatic fresh air instruction and determine the initial fresh air gear according to the gear information in the automatic fresh air instruction. In the second case, the user simply inputs the automatic fresh air instruction. The air conditioner can turn on the automatic fresh air function according to the automatic fresh air instruction, obtain the fresh air gear at which the air conditioner is currently operating, and use the currently operating fresh air gear as the initial fresh air gear.

[0100] Step S03, control the operation of the air conditioner according to the initial fresh air gear.

[0101] It can be understood that after determining the initial fresh air gear through the above method, the air conditioner can be controlled according to the initial fresh air gear, so that the air conditioner operates at the fresh air speed corresponding to the initial fresh air gear until the environmental noise of the current environment is detected, and subsequent judgment steps are performed to adjust the initial fresh air gear.

[0102] It should be understood that since the user may manually adjust the fresh air gear after turning on the automatic fresh air instruction, when receiving the fresh air gear adjustment instruction input by the user, the initial fresh air gear and the initial noise decibel can be re-determined according to the fresh air gear adjustment instruction, and the subsequent steps perform logical judgments according to the new initial fresh air gear and the initial noise decibel to determine the target fresh air gear.

[0103] In this embodiment, when receiving the automatic fresh air instruction, control the air conditioner to turn on the automatic fresh air function according to the automatic fresh air instruction, and obtain the initial noise decibel of the current environment; determine the initial fresh air gear according to the automatic fresh air instruction; control the operation of the air conditioner according to the initial fresh air gear, so that the initial noise decibel and the initial fresh air gear can be determined when the automatic fresh air function is turned on, and then the change of the noise decibel is determined according to the initial noise decibel and the environmental noise decibel to adjust the fresh air gear, so as to achieve a better fresh air effect.

[0104] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a storage medium, on which an air conditioner control program is stored. When the air conditioner control program is executed by a processor, the steps of the air conditioner control method described above are implemented.

[0105] Since this storage medium adopts all the technical solutions of the above-mentioned all embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, and will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0106] In addition, referring to Figure 6, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an air conditioner control device, and the air conditioner control device includes:

[0107] A noise decibel module 10, configured to obtain the environmental noise decibel of the current environment when the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode.

[0108] It should be noted that since this solution aims at the problems in the prior art that the fresh air gear cannot be automatically adjusted and the fresh air noise is relatively large, therefore, the air conditioner in this embodiment is an air conditioner with a fresh air function. Correspondingly, a corresponding fresh air mode can be set for the air conditioner, and the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be used in the fresh air mode.

[0109] In a specific implementation, the air conditioner in this embodiment can be an air conditioner with only a fresh air function, or an air conditioner with multiple functions such as a fresh air function, a heating function, a cooling function, and a dehumidification function, or an air conditioner with more other functions. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0110] It should be understood that during the user's use, in some cases, the fresh air gear may need to be automatically adjusted, while in some cases, it may not be necessary to automatically adjust the fresh air gear. Therefore, an automatic fresh air function can be set in the fresh air mode for the user to choose whether to turn on the automatic fresh air function. When the automatic fresh air function is not turned on, the air conditioner will not automatically adjust the fresh air gear, but will keep running at the fresh air gear set by the user; when the automatic fresh air function is turned on, the air conditioner can automatically adjust the fresh air gear according to the actual situation. Among them, the user can input an instruction through the air conditioner remote control or an application on the mobile terminal to turn on or off the automatic fresh air function.

[0111] It can be understood that when the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode, it can detect whether the automatic fresh air function is turned on. If it detects that the automatic fresh air function is turned on, it will obtain the environmental noise decibel of the current environment. If it detects that the automatic fresh air function is not turned on, no operation will be performed.

[0112] It should be noted that a sound detection device can be used to detect the environmental noise decibel of the current environment, and reference can be made to Figure 3 , Figure 3Schematic diagram of the settings of a sound detection device. The sound detection device can be set on an air conditioner, specifically on the indoor unit or outdoor unit of the air conditioner. When the sound detection device is set on the indoor unit, the current environment is the indoor environment; when the sound detection device is set on the outdoor unit, the current environment is the outdoor environment. To achieve better detection effects, more intelligent adjustment of the fresh air gear, and reduction of fresh air noise, in this embodiment, it is preferably to set the sound detection device indoors to detect the ambient noise decibels of the current indoor environment, that is, to use the sound detection device to detect the ambient noise decibels of the environment where the user is currently located. Among them, the sound detection device can be a sound detector. In addition, it can also be other devices that can achieve the same or similar functions. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0113] It can be understood that in addition to the above method of setting the sound detection device on the air conditioner, the sound detection device can also be set in other places indoors, and the sound detection device is used to perform data transmission with the controller of the air conditioner through a wireless network, so that the controller of the air conditioner can obtain the ambient noise decibels. For example, the sound detection device can be set on the wall of the room where the indoor unit of the air conditioner is located. When it is necessary to obtain the ambient noise decibels of the current environment, the controller of the air conditioner can generate a detection instruction, send the detection instruction to the sound detection device, and the sound detection device triggers a detection operation according to the detection instruction to obtain the ambient noise decibels of the current environment, and then send the ambient noise decibels to the controller.

[0114] It should be noted that since the usage scenario of this solution is in an indoor scenario, when the user is indoors, generally speaking, if the indoor environment is relatively quiet, it means that the user is very likely to be sleeping or about to fall asleep. In this case, the user is more sensitive to noise, and excessive noise may affect the user's rest. If there is a relatively loud sound indoors, it means that the user is very likely to be watching TV, playing games or chatting. In this case, a better fresh air ventilation effect needs to be provided for the user. Therefore, in this solution, sounds such as TV sounds, music sounds, talking sounds, and game sounds detected by the sound detection device indoors can all be regarded as noise, and the ambient noise decibels of the noise in these indoor environments are detected. If there are multiple noises at the same time, the ambient noise decibels of the mixed noise in these indoor environments can be detected.

[0115] It should be understood that when the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode, it can be detected whether the automatic fresh air function of the air conditioner is in the on state. If the automatic fresh air function has been turned on, that is, the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode and the automatic fresh air function is in the on state, the ambient noise decibels can be periodically detected through the sound detection device. For example, the ambient noise decibels of the current environment can be repeatedly detected every interval of time t.

[0116] The noise comparison module 20 is used to compare the ambient noise decibel with the initial noise decibel.

[0117] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, when the automatic fresh air function of the air conditioner is turned on, the initial fresh air gear can be determined and the initial noise decibel can be obtained, and the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at the initial fresh air gear. Then, during the operation, the current ambient noise decibel is periodically obtained, and the change in noise decibel is determined based on the ambient noise decibel and the initial noise decibel, and the fresh air gear is adjusted in conjunction with the change in noise decibel.

[0118] It should be understood that for fresh air, the higher the fresh air gear is, the higher the fresh air speed is, the greater the noise is, and the lower the fresh air gear is, the lower the fresh air speed is, and the less noise is. Therefore, in order to avoid the impact of fresh air noise on users, the user's activity can be determined according to the change in noise decibels. When the user needs to rest, the fresh air gear can be lowered to reduce the fresh air noise. When the user does not need to rest, the fresh air gear can be raised to improve the fresh air effect. Therefore, the fresh air gear can be adjusted according to the ambient noise decibels and the initial noise to adjust the fresh air speed and improve the user experience.

[0119] It can be understood that after obtaining the ambient noise decibels of the user's current environment, in order to determine the change in noise decibels based on the ambient noise decibels Pc and the initial noise decibels P1, Pc can be compared with P1 to determine the relationship between the two. If Pc>P1, it means that the noise decibels have increased and the fresh air level can be adjusted higher. If Pc≤P1, it means that the noise decibels have decreased and the fresh air level can be adjusted lower.

[0120] The fresh air level module 30 is used to determine a target fresh air level according to the comparison result and the initial fresh air level.

[0121] It is understandable that after the comparison result is obtained through the above comparison operation, the target fresh air level suitable for the current situation can be determined by combining the comparison result and the initial fresh air level. Among them, the comparison result can be divided into two types, namely: Pc>P1 and Pc≤P1.

[0122] It is understandable that after determining that the fresh air level needs to be increased or decreased, the level can be increased or decreased by a certain level based on the initial fresh air level to obtain the target fresh air level.

[0123] The wind speed adjustment module 40 is used to adjust the fresh air speed of the air conditioner according to the target fresh air level.

[0124] It should be noted that the fresh air mode of the air conditioner can include multiple fresh air gears, and a corresponding fresh air speed can be set for each fresh air gear. For example, the fresh air gears can be set to five fresh air gears such as fresh air gear one, fresh air gear two, fresh air gear three, fresh air gear four, and fresh air gear five. The fresh air speeds of these fresh air gears increase in sequence. Among them, the fresh air speed of fresh air gear one is the lowest, and the fresh air speed of fresh air gear five is the highest. In addition, the fresh air gears can also be divided in other ways, and other numbers of fresh air gears can also be divided. This embodiment does not limit this. In this embodiment, the above five fresh air gears are taken as an example for illustration.

[0125] It should be understood that after determining the target fresh air gear in the above manner, the target fresh air speed corresponding to the target fresh air gear can be searched, and then the fresh air speed of the air conditioner can be adjusted according to the target fresh air speed, so that the air conditioner operates at the target fresh air speed.

[0126] In specific implementation, if the determined target fresh air gear is fresh air gear one, the fresh air speed corresponding to fresh air gear one can be searched as the target fresh air speed, and the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at the target fresh air speed; if the determined target fresh air gear is fresh air gear four, the fresh air speed corresponding to fresh air gear four can be searched as the target fresh air speed, and the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at the target fresh air speed.

[0127] It can be understood that by adopting the above solution, the air conditioner can be controlled by linking the change of noise decibels with fresh air through sensors and big data means, and the fresh air speed of the air conditioner can be automatically adjusted according to the environmental noise decibel where the user is at that time. When the user is resting, the fresh air speed can be lowered to reduce the noise generated by fresh air, and when the user is not resting, the fresh air speed can be increased to improve the fresh air effect, thereby making the fresh air function of the air conditioner more intelligent and improving the user's fresh air utilization rate.

[0128] It should be understood that when the user turns on the automatic fresh air function, the environmental noise decibel can be automatically detected in the above manner to adjust the fresh air rotation speed. If the user feels that no further automatic adjustment is needed, the automatic fresh air function can be selected to be turned off. When the air conditioner exits the automatic fresh air function, it operates at the initial fresh air gear until the user issues a gear switching instruction or a mode switching instruction, etc., and adjusts according to the instruction input by the user.

[0129] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode, the ambient noise decibels of the current environment are obtained; the ambient noise decibels are compared with the initial noise decibels; the target fresh air gear is determined according to the comparison result and the initial fresh air gear; and the fresh air speed of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the target fresh air gear, so that the fresh air gear can be adaptively adjusted according to the change of the ambient noise decibels of the current environment compared with the initial noise decibels to adjust the fresh air speed, which can solve the problem that the fresh air noise is too loud when the user is sleeping and affects the user's rest, so as to improve the user's fresh air use experience.
