Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the quality of the user's living environment, the air conditioner indoor unit is provided with a fresh air function to introduce outdoor fresh air. The fresh air air conditioner includes a fresh air module, and the fresh air module includes a fresh air fan. When the rotation speed of the fresh air fan is relatively high, the introduction amount of fresh air can be increased. At present, the rotation speed of some fresh air fans can be adjusted according to the indoor carbon dioxide concentration, so that the indoor air quality is improved to a certain extent. However, the differences among users are not considered. The ages, number of users, usage time, airtightness of the usage environment, and sound insulation conditions of different users are all different, resulting in different demands for fresh air volume by users, and different users also have different acceptance levels of the noise generated by the fresh air fan. Therefore, it is inappropriate to determine the rotation speed of the fresh air fan only based on the carbon dioxide content. This method is difficult to meet the needs of users and results in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the related art to some extent.

[0004] To this end, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an air conditioner is proposed, including:

[0005] An outdoor carbon dioxide sensor for detecting the outdoor carbon dioxide concentration;

[0006] An indoor fan;

[0007] A fresh air module for introducing outdoor fresh air into the room, the fresh air module including a fresh air fan;

[0008] An indoor carbon dioxide sensor for detecting the indoor carbon dioxide concentration;

[0009] A controller configured to:

[0010] When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the first preset concentration and the outdoor carbon dioxide concentration is below the indoor carbon dioxide concentration, determine whether the user type of the air conditioner is the third type. When the user type is the third type, the fresh air fan operates at the first speed, and then determine whether to keep or increase the speed of the fresh air fan according to the indoor carbon dioxide concentration value and determine the amplitude of the increase in the speed of the fresh air fan according to the current operating time point of the air conditioner. When the user type is not the third type, determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration and the air conditioner operates within the first preset time period, determine whether the user type of the air conditioner is the first type. When the user type is the first type, the fresh air fan operates at the second speed, and then increase the speed of the fresh air fan or decrease the speed of the fresh air fan or keep the current speed according to the indoor carbon dioxide concentration value.

[0011] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an air conditioner is further provided, including:

[0012] An outdoor carbon dioxide sensor for detecting the outdoor carbon dioxide concentration;

[0013] An indoor fan;

[0014] A fresh air module for introducing outdoor fresh air into the room, the fresh air module includes a fresh air fan;

[0015] An indoor carbon dioxide sensor for detecting the indoor carbon dioxide concentration;

[0016] A controller configured to:

[0017] When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the first preset concentration and the outdoor carbon dioxide concentration is below the indoor carbon dioxide concentration, determine whether the user type of the air conditioner is the third type. When the user type is the third type, the fresh air fan operates at the first speed, and then determine whether to keep or increase the speed of the fresh air fan according to the indoor carbon dioxide concentration value and determine the amplitude of the increase in the speed of the fresh air fan according to the current operating time point of the air conditioner. When the user type is not the third type, determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration and the air conditioner operates within the first preset time period, determine whether the user type of the air conditioner is the first type. When the user type is the first type, determine the speed of the fresh air fan according to the indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the outdoor carbon dioxide concentration. When the speed of the fresh air fan reaches the maximum fresh air fan speed acceptable to the first type of user, operate at the maximum fresh air fan speed acceptable to the first type of user. When the speed of the fresh air fan does not reach the maximum fresh air fan speed acceptable to the first type of user, operate at the determined fresh air fan speed.

[0018] In this application, an indoor carbon dioxide sensor and an outdoor carbon dioxide sensor are set up to detect carbon dioxide indoors and outdoors. In this application, two types of user types, namely the third type and the first type, are set up. According to different user types, it can be selected whether to mainly consider the carbon dioxide concentration as the main parameter or the fresh air fan noise as the main parameter. Considering the carbon dioxide concentration and the time point of air conditioner operation, the rotation speed of the fresh air fan is considered, so that the rotation speed of the fresh air fan is suitable for the demand of the third type of users for low carbon dioxide concentration and the requirement of the first type of users for low noise. This application takes into account different user types and can be customized, meeting the needs of different users. While considering different users, this application also takes into account the different scenario needs of users, enabling users to live a healthier life.

[0019] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller is configured to: when the user type is the first type and the fresh air fan operates at the second rotation speed, determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the second preset concentration, the fresh air fan maintains the second rotation speed. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration, determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the third preset concentration; when the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the third preset concentration, the fresh air fan operates at the twelfth rotation speed and the twelfth rotation speed is greater than the second rotation speed; when the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the third preset concentration, the rotation speed of the fresh air fan remains unchanged or decreases. When it comes to the first type of users, when fresh air needs to be introduced, it first operates at a lower rotation speed and then increases the rotation speed of the fresh air fan when the fresh air volume requirement cannot be met, so that a small noise is generated first and a larger noise is generated when the fresh air volume requirement cannot be met, which can avoid the impact of a large noise at the beginning on the first type of users.

[0020] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller is configured to: when the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the third preset concentration, determine whether to reduce the first fixed rotation speed or keep the rotation speed of the fresh air fan unchanged according to the relationship between the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before it, specifically: determine whether the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before it; when the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before it, the rotation speed of the fresh air fan remains unchanged; when the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before it, the rotation speed of the fresh air fan is reduced by the first fixed rotation speed.

[0021] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller is configured to: after the rotation speed of the fresh air fan is reduced by the first fixed rotation speed, determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the first preset concentration. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the first preset concentration, determine whether to reduce the first fixed rotation speed or keep the rotation speed of the fresh air fan unchanged according to the relationship between the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before it.

[0022] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller is configured to: after the fresh air fan operates at a first speed, determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches a second preset concentration. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the second preset concentration, the fresh air fan maintains the first speed. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration, determine an increased speed of the fresh air fan according to the current operating time point of the air conditioner, and then the fresh air fan operates at the sum of the first speed and the increased speed. When serving users of the third type, mainly considering that a lower indoor carbon dioxide concentration is required, and according to different requirements for carbon dioxide and different requirements for noise at different times, the increase amount of the speed is determined targeted to improve the user experience.

[0023] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller is configured to: after the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration, determine whether the current operating time point of the air conditioner is within a first preset time period. When the current operating time point of the air conditioner is within the first preset time period, the fresh air fan operates at a third speed. When the current operating time point of the air conditioner is not within the first preset time period, the fresh air fan operates at a fourth speed.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller is further configured to: when the user type is not the first type, determine whether the user type is the second type. When the user type is the second type, the fresh air fan operates at a fifth speed, and then determine the indoor carbon dioxide concentration. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the second preset concentration, the fresh air fan maintains the fifth speed. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration and does not reach the third preset concentration, the fresh air fan operates at a sixth speed and the sixth speed is greater than the fifth speed. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the third preset concentration, the fresh air fan operates at a seventh speed and the seventh speed is greater than the sixth speed. The present application also sets users of the second type, who have requirements for the carbon dioxide concentration, and through multiple judgments, ensure that the carbon dioxide is within a suitable range to improve the user experience.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller is further configured to: after the fresh air fan operates at the seventh speed, continue to monitor the indoor carbon dioxide concentration, determine whether to reduce or maintain the speed of the fresh air fan according to the relationship between the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before. After driving the speed of the fresh air fan to decrease, determine whether to stop or continue to work for the fresh air fan according to the relationship between the indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the first preset concentration. After the fresh air fan is determined to continue to work, determine whether to reduce or maintain the speed of the fresh air fan according to the relationship between the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before. After determining that the speed of the fresh air fan is maintained, drive the fresh air fan to operate at the sixth speed or the seventh speed according to the relationship between the indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the third preset concentration

The heat exchange air duct 13 communicates with the heat exchange air inlet 11 and the heat exchange air outlet 12.

[0059] The indoor heat exchanger 32 is disposed inside the housing 1 and within the heat exchange air duct 13. The indoor heat exchanger 32 is disposed at the heat exchange air inlet and on the inner side of the heat exchange air inlet.

[0077] The controller is configured to:

[0078] When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches a first preset concentration and the outdoor carbon dioxide concentration is below the indoor carbon dioxide concentration, determine whether the user type of the air conditioner is a third type. When the user type is the third type, the fresh air fan operates at a first speed, and then determines whether to maintain or increase the speed of the fresh air fan according to the indoor carbon dioxide concentration value and determines the amplitude of the increase in the speed of the fresh air fan according to the current operating time point of the air conditioner. When the user type is not the third type, determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches a second preset concentration. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration and the air conditioner is operating within a first preset time period, determine whether the user type of the air conditioner is a first type.

In this application, two types of user types, namely the third type and the first type, are set up. According to different user types, it is possible to choose whether to mainly consider the carbon dioxide concentration as the main parameter or the noise of the fresh air fan as the main parameter. Considering the carbon dioxide concentration and the time point of air conditioner operation, the rotation speed of the fresh air fan is adjusted, so that the rotation speed of the fresh air fan is suitable for the demand of the third type of users for low carbon dioxide concentration and the requirement of the first type of users for low noise.

When the outdoor carbon dioxide concentration is not below the indoor carbon dioxide concentration, end; when the outdoor carbon dioxide concentration is below the indoor carbon dioxide concentration, execute the next step:

[0087] S115: Determine whether the user type of the air conditioner is the third type. When the user type is the third type, execute step S116; when the user type is not the third type, execute S117;

[0088] S116: The fresh air fan operates at the first rotation speed, and then execute S210;

[0089] S117: Determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the second preset concentration, end. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration, execute the next step;

[0090] S118: Obtain the current time point when the air conditioner is operating;

[0091] S119: Determine whether the current time point when the air conditioner is operating is within the first preset time period. When the current time point when the air conditioner is operating is within the first preset time period, execute the next step:

[0092] S120: Determine whether the user type of the air conditioner is the first type. When the user type is the first type, execute S121;

[0093] S121: The fresh air fan operates at the second speed, and then execute S310 or S410;

Specifically, the first speed may not be within the lowest speed segment and the highest speed segment. Among them, the second speed is also within one of the speed segments. Specifically, the second speed may be within the lowest speed segment or the second lowest speed segment, or the second speed is within a lower speed segment, and the higher speed segment is at least as many as the lower speed segment.

[0100] Among them, the fresh air fan can have a silent speed gear, a low speed gear, a medium speed gear, a high speed gear, and a strong speed gear. The first speed is the medium speed gear. The second speed is the silent speed gear.

[0101] When the fresh air fan operates at the silent speed gear, low speed gear, medium speed gear, and high speed gear respectively, the noises are 22 dBA, 24.3 dBA, 31.9 dBA, and 36.3 dBA respectively. When the fresh air fan operates at the low speed gear, medium speed gear, high speed gear, and strong speed gear respectively, the fresh air volumes are 15.9 m3 / h, 25.5 m3 / h, 30.6 m3 / h, and 50 m3 / h respectively.

[0104] After an interval of time, step S111 will be executed, and the subsequent steps of step S111 will be executed accordingly.

[0105] The users of the third type of air conditioner can be users with relatively high air quality requirements. In this application, it mainly means that the user has relatively high requirements for the concentration of carbon dioxide in the room. Among them, the users of the third type require a relatively low concentration of carbon dioxide in the room. In this application, the users of the third type require that the indoor carbon dioxide cannot reach the first preset concentration. When the concentration of indoor carbon dioxide is higher than the first preset concentration, fresh air needs to be introduced to reduce the concentration of indoor carbon dioxide.

[0106] The users of the first type of air conditioner can be users with relatively high noise requirements. In this application, it mainly means that the user has relatively high requirements for the noise emitted by the rotation speed of the fresh air fan. Therefore, the users of the first type require a relatively low rotation speed of the fresh air fan. Among them, the noise generated in the silent rotation speed gear is the lowest, about 22 dBA. The requirement of the first type of user at night is that the medium rotation speed gear can be the highest gear, and the noise is about 32 dBA. At this time, the deep sleep duration is the best. When the noise is greater than 32 dBA, for every 1 dBA increase, the deep sleep time will be reduced by 4%.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, the controller is configured to: after the fresh air fan operates at the first speed, determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the second preset concentration, the fresh air fan maintains the first speed of operation. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration, determine the increased speed of the fresh air fan according to the current operating time point of the air conditioner, and then the fresh air fan operates at the sum of the first speed and the increased speed. When serving the third type of user, mainly considering that the indoor carbon dioxide concentration needs to be relatively low, and according to the different needs for carbon dioxide and different noise requirements at different times, the increase amount of the speed is determined targeted to improve the user experience.

[0108] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , after the fresh air fan operates at the first speed, execute the specific steps in S210. The specific steps of S210 include:

[0109] S211: Determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the second preset concentration, execute S116; when the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration, execute step S212;

[0110] S212: Determine the increased speed of the fresh air fan according to the current operating time point of the air conditioner, and then the fresh air fan operates at the sum of the first speed and the increased speed.

[0111] The controller is configured to: after the fresh air fan maintains the first speed of operation, determine whether to maintain or increase the speed of the fresh air fan according to the indoor carbon dioxide concentration value and determine the increase amplitude of the speed of the fresh air fan according to the current operating time point of the air conditioner.

[0112] Among them, S211 can be executed every certain period of time. Among them, S211 can be executed once every 15 minutes.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present application, the controller is configured to: after the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration, determine whether the current operating time point of the air conditioner is within the first preset time period. When the current operating time point of the air conditioner is within the first preset time period, the fresh air fan operates at the third speed. When the current operating time point of the air conditioner is not within the first preset time period, the fresh air fan operates at the fourth speed.

[0114] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , after the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration, execute the specific steps in step S212. S212 includes the following steps:

[0115] S2121: Determine whether the current operating time point of the air conditioner is within the first preset time period. When the current operating time point of the air conditioner is within the first preset time period, execute S2122; when the current operating time point of the air conditioner is not within the first preset time period, execute S2123;

[0116] S2122: The fresh air fan operates at the third speed.

[0117] S2123: The fresh air fan operates at the fourth speed.

[0118] Specifically, the fourth speed is greater than the third speed, and the third speed is greater than the first speed. The third speed can be the high speed gear, and the fourth speed can be the strong speed gear.

[0119] In some embodiments of the present application, the controller is configured to: after the fresh air fan operates at the third speed and the fourth speed, determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the second preset concentration, the fresh air fan operates at the first speed, and then operates according to the logic after the fresh air fan operates at the first speed. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration, then operate according to the logic after the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration.

[0120] Specifically, the steps can be:

[0121] S2122: The fresh air fan operates at the third speed, and then execute S211;

[0122] S2123: The fresh air fan operates at the fourth speed, and then execute S211.

[0123] In some embodiments of the present application, the controller is configured to: when the user type is the first type and after the fresh air fan operates at the second speed, determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration.

[0124] When it is a user of the first type, when fresh air needs to be introduced, it first operates at a smaller speed, and when the fresh air volume requirement cannot be met, the speed of the fresh air fan is increased, so that small noise is generated first, and when the fresh air volume requirement cannot be met, larger noise is generated, which can avoid the impact on users of the first type caused by generating larger noise at the beginning.

[0125] The controller is configured to: when the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the third preset concentration, determine that the fresh air fan speed is reduced to a first fixed speed or remains unchanged according to the relationship between the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the carbon dioxide concentration at a previous first time.

[0126] Specifically, determining whether the speed of the fresh air fan is reduced to a first fixed speed or remains unchanged based on the relationship between the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before specifically includes: judging whether the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before; when the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before, the speed of the fresh air fan remains unchanged; when the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before, the speed of the fresh air fan is reduced to a first fixed speed.

[0127] The controller is configured to: after the fresh air fan speed is reduced to a first fixed speed, determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches a first preset concentration; when the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the first preset concentration, determine whether the fresh air fan speed is reduced to the first fixed speed or remains unchanged based on the relationship between the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before.

[0130] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 , step S310 includes:

[0131] S311: Determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches a second preset concentration. If the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the second preset concentration, then execute S121; if the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration, execute S312;

[0132] S312: Determine whether the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches a third preset concentration; if the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the third preset concentration, operate the fresh air fan at a twelfth speed, where the twelfth speed is greater than the second speed; then execute S312 again; if the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the third preset concentration, execute the next step;

[0133] S313: Determine whether the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration has reached the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before; when the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before, keep the fresh air fan speed unchanged, and then execute S312; when the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before, reduce the fresh air fan speed by the first fixed speed.

[0136] Among them, the concentration of indoor carbon dioxide can also be updated in real time. When the concentration of indoor carbon dioxide reaches the condition for gear change, the fresh air fan speed can be made to act accordingly, ensuring the carbon dioxide concentration while reducing noise. Of course, the concentration of indoor carbon dioxide can also be updated every once in a while. Among them, it can be updated once every 15 minutes.

[0137] Or, update the concentrations of indoor carbon dioxide and outdoor carbon dioxide in real time. When the user is a type-I user, after reducing the fresh air fan speed by the first fixed speed, executing S314 and not executing S314 can be carried out at intervals.

[0153] Execute S512, S514, and S516 at regular intervals. Among them, S512, S514, and S516 can be executed once every 15 minutes.

[0154] The users of the second type of air conditioner can be users with a high population density. The second type of users have higher requirements for carbon dioxide. Currently, the bedroom area is mostly 8 - 12 square meters, followed by 12 - 16 square meters. Taking a 10 - 12 square meter room as an example, the fresh air volume requirement at night is 22 - 30 m3 / h. When it is in the medium speed gear, the noise is about 32 - 33 dBA, which can make the user feel the fresh air and is beneficial to the user's deep sleep. When it is in the high speed gear, the noise is about 32 - 35 dBA, which can make the user feel the fresh and clean air; when it is in the strong speed gear, it can quickly replace the fresh air in the room.

[0155] This application also sets up a second type of user who has requirements for the carbon dioxide concentration. By making multiple judgments, it ensures that the carbon dioxide is within a suitable range and the noise is small, improving the user experience.

[0156] In some embodiments of the present application, the controller is configured to:

[0157] When the user type is not the second type, the fresh air fan operates at the eighth speed, and then determine whether the temperature difference of the indoor temperature within the second time period has reached the first preset temperature;

After driving the rotation speed of the fresh air fan to decrease, determine whether to stop or continue to work the fresh air fan according to the relationship between the indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the first preset concentration. After the fresh air fan is determined to continue to work, determine whether to reduce or maintain the rotation speed of the fresh air fan according to the relationship between the current indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the carbon dioxide concentration at the first time before. After determining that the rotation speed of the fresh air fan remains unchanged, judge whether the temperature difference of the indoor temperature in the second time period reaches the first preset temperature.

[0162] The second time period can be 15 minutes. Among them, the eighth rotation speed can be less than the second rotation speed and less than the first rotation speed. The eighth rotation speed can be a low rotation speed gear, and the thirteenth rotation speed is higher than the eighth rotation speed. The thirteenth rotation speed can be a medium rotation speed gear. The first preset temperature can be 2 °C. Specifically, the temperature compensation is to increase the heating capacity or cooling capacity according to the demand.

[0163] When the user type is not the second type, the user is a fourth type of user. The fourth type of user is a temperature-sensitive user who needs temperature compensation when the temperature difference is large. In addition to considering the carbon dioxide concentration and noise, this application also considers the change of indoor temperature, adapts to the needs of temperature-sensitive customers, increases the applicable range of users, and meets the needs of more users.

When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration does not reach the second preset concentration, the fresh air fan maintains the ninth speed. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration and does not reach the third preset concentration, the fresh air fan operates at the tenth speed and the tenth speed is greater than the ninth speed. When the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the third preset concentration, the fresh air fan operates at the eleventh speed and the eleventh speed is greater than the tenth speed. The present application considers carbon dioxide and the operating time of the air conditioner, ensuring an efficient operation mode at different times and improving the user experience.

[0173] The controller is configured to: after the fresh air fan maintains the ninth speed, continue to monitor the indoor carbon dioxide concentration, and determine whether the fresh air fan speed remains at the ninth speed or increases to the tenth speed or increases to the eleventh speed according to the relationship between the indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the second preset concentration and the third preset concentration.

[0175] Specifically, referring to Figure 6 , when the indoor carbon dioxide concentration reaches the second preset concentration and the air conditioner is not operating within the first preset time period, step S710 is executed.

[0176] Step S710 includes:

[0182] Every certain period of time, execute S712 and S713. Among them, S712 and S713 can be executed once every 15 minutes.

[0183] In some embodiments of the present application, the user type of the air conditioner is determined according to the user-acceptable carbon dioxide concentration range, noise range, area of the room where the air conditioner is installed, the expected number of users of the air conditioner, and the degree of the user-acceptable indoor temperature range.

The communication between the remote control and the air conditioner includes infrared protocol communication or Bluetooth protocol communication, as well as other short-distance communication methods, and controls the air conditioner in a wireless or wired manner. The user can input user instructions through the buttons on the remote control, voice input, or control panel input to control the air conditioner. It is also possible to use a smart device (such as a mobile terminal, tablet computer, computer, laptop, etc.) to control the air conditioner. For example, use an application program running on the smart device to control the air conditioner. Among them, the user can input or select the acceptable carbon dioxide concentration range, noise range, area of the room where the air conditioner is installed, expected number of people using the air conditioner, and the acceptable indoor temperature range through the smart device or the control device.

[0185] The controller can receive instructions without using the above-mentioned smart device or control device, but receive the user's control through touch or gestures, etc.

[0186] The air conditioner can also be controlled in a way other than the control device and the smart device. For example, it can directly receive the user's voice instructions through the module for obtaining voice instructions configured inside the air conditioner device, or receive the user's voice instructions through the voice control device set outside the air conditioner device. The user can input or select the acceptable carbon dioxide concentration range, noise range, area of the room where the air conditioner is installed, expected number of people using the air conditioner, and the acceptable indoor temperature range through the module for obtaining voice instructions configured inside the air conditioner device or the voice control device set outside the air conditioner device.

When the temperature difference is large within a certain period of time, temperature compensation is performed, and the way of temperature compensation is the same as that in the fourth type of users. Among the first type, second type, and third type, the reference value of the temperature difference for whether to perform temperature compensation is larger than that in the fourth type.

[0203] The sides of the first air duct and the deflector plate close to the front panel are set as arc surfaces, which can utilize the guiding effect of the deflector plate to reduce the resistance at the connection of the heat exchange air duct and the first air duct, and increase the air volume of the air entering the first air duct from the heat exchange air duct. The radius of the arc contour is set to any value in the range of 50 - 80 mm, so as to increase the guiding effect of the deflector plate without affecting other structures of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0204] The housing 1 is provided with a ventilation opening 18 that communicates the heat exchange air duct 13 and the first air duct 16. Among them, the ventilation opening 18 is strip-shaped.

By setting the damper, the ventilation opening can be opened or closed, and it can be selected whether the first air outlet blows air, which can provide multiple choices for users and improve the user experience.

[0206] Among them, the damper is rotatably connected to the ventilation opening 18 to open or close the ventilation opening. Among them, the damper is rotatably connected to the housing 1.

[0207] Among them, when the damper closes the ventilation opening and the deflector plate opens the heat exchange air outlet, the heat exchange air outlet blows air. When the deflector plate closes the heat exchange air outlet and the damper opens the ventilation opening, the first air outlet blows air. By setting the form and / or the air outlet direction of the first air outlet, it is possible to avoid direct air blowing on people during cooling, and prevent cold air at the initial stage of heating.

[0208] Through simulation, it can be known that when the deflector plate closes the heat exchange air outlet and the damper opens the ventilation opening, compared with the sharp corner setting at the connection of the traditional heat exchange air duct and the first air duct, by setting the deflector plate and the radius of the arc contour to any value in the range of 50 - 80 mm, the wind speed entering the first air duct can be increased by about 60%.

[0215] The side wall of the rotating column is a cylindrical surface 3411, and the side end surface of one end of the third panel section away from the second panel section is an arc surface 1451. The side wall of the rotating column abuts against the side end surface of one end of the third panel section away from the second panel section, so that during the rotation of the rotating column, the side wall of the rotating column always abuts against the side end surface of one end of the third panel section away from the second panel section, which can avoid the generation of a gap between the rotating column and the third panel section, prevent air from flowing between the heat exchange air duct and the first air duct here, and avoid the reduction of the air volume of the heat exchange air outlet or the first air outlet caused by the gap generated here.

[0216] Among them, the end face radius of the cylindrical surface of the rotating column can be equal to the arc radius of the arc surface at the end of the third panel section, which can increase the abutting area between the cylindrical surface and the arc surface and better improve the sealing effect here.

When the air damper closes the ventilation opening, the first end of the air damper is connected to the volute front face 13114. The bottom of the first end of the air damper is located above the bottom of the volute front face or is flush with the bottom of the volute front face, so as to avoid forming a flow resistance to the air in the heat exchange air duct when the bottom of the first end of the air damper is lower than the volute front face. The volute front face is the side wall surface of the ventilation opening away from the side wall of the front panel.

[0221] When the air damper opens the ventilation opening, the air damper has a third position.

[0225] Driven by the fresh air fan, outdoor air enters the fresh air fan cavity through the fresh air inlet, then enters the first air duct through the fresh air discharge port, and then the fresh air flows out from the first air outlet.

[0226] When the air damper closes the ventilation opening, the fresh air fan drives fresh air to flow out from the first fresh air outlet, and the indoor fan drives indoor air to flow out from the heat exchange air outlet.

[0227] When the air damper opens the ventilation opening and the air deflector closes the heat exchange air outlet, the fresh air fan drives fresh air into the first air duct, and the indoor fan drives indoor air into the first air duct through the heat exchange air duct.
