Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent household appliances, for example to a method and device for controlling an air conditioner air deflector, an air conditioner and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] An air conditioner is a common device in family life, which can adjust indoor temperature by heating or cooling indoor air. When a user sets the air conditioner to swing air supply, the air deflector is free to swing in the maximum range. When the air conditioner runs in heating mode, the temperature of the indoor coil gradually rises as the indoor temperature rises. At this time, if the air deflector is still free to swing in the maximum range, it will help the coil temperature rise. At this time, the air conditioner will automatically reduce the compressor frequency, the outdoor fan speed, etc., so as not to let the indoor coil temperature rise too fast. This will make the indoor coil temperature drop, but at the same time, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner will also drop.

[0003] The existing air conditioner control method includes: obtaining the indoor coil temperature after the air conditioner starts heating; when the obtained indoor coil temperature is greater than a first temperature threshold, adjusting the air supply amount to the indoor environment according to the obtained indoor coil temperature to make the indoor coil temperature below a second temperature threshold and the indoor environment temperature reach a third temperature threshold. The step of adjusting the air supply amount to the indoor environment according to the obtained indoor coil temperature includes: adjusting the opening angle of the air deflector according to the indoor coil temperature to increase the air supply amount to the indoor environment.

[0004] The above control method can ensure the indoor environment temperature. However, when the indoor coil temperature is relatively stable, the angle of the air deflector will not change, which goes against the user's intention to set the air deflector to swing freely. SUMMARY

[0005] The following presents a simplified summary of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments in order to provide a basic understanding of such embodiments. This summary is not an extensive overview of the embodiments described in detail in the following detailed description, and is not intended to identify key / critical elements of the embodiments or to delineate the scope of the embodiments. Its sole purpose is to present some aspects of the disclosed embodiments in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.

[0006] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and device for controlling an air conditioner air deflector, an air conditioner and a storage medium, to ensure the heating effect while meeting the user's demand for free swinging of the air deflector.

[0007] In some embodiments, the method includes: obtaining the temperature of the indoor coil when the air conditioner runs in heating mode and the air deflector swings freely; determining the target air deflection demand of the air deflector according to the corresponding relationship between the temperature of the indoor coil and the air deflection demand of the air deflector; and adjusting the swinging range of the air deflector according to the target air deflection demand, so that the air deflection of the air deflector meets the target air deflection demand.

[0008] In some embodiments, the apparatus comprises a processor and a memory storing program instructions, the processor is configured to execute the foregoing method for controlling the air conditioner air deflector when running the program instructions.

[0009] In some embodiments, the air conditioner comprises the foregoing apparatus for controlling the air conditioner air deflector.

[0010] In some embodiments, the storage medium stores program instructions, the program instructions execute the foregoing method for controlling the air conditioner air deflector when running.

[0011] The method, apparatus, air conditioner and storage medium for controlling the air conditioner air deflector provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:

[0012] Based on the temperature of the inner coil and the corresponding relationship between the temperature of the inner coil and the air deflection demand of the air deflector, the target air deflection demand of the air deflector is determined. Then, the swing range of the air deflector is adjusted based on the target air deflection demand, so that the air deflection demand of the air deflector meets the target air deflection demand, thereby effectively dissipating heat from the inner coil. In this way, the air conditioner will not enter the frequency reduction or shutdown protection due to the excessively high temperature of the inner coil, thereby ensuring the heating effect of the air conditioner. Moreover, the air deflector always swings freely, which does not violate the user's intention to set the air deflector to swing freely, and fully meets the user's demand.

[0026] In the disclosed embodiments, the terminal device refers to an electronic device with wireless connection function.

[0027] In combination Figure 1 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling the air deflector of an air conditioner, comprising:

[0028] S101, the air conditioner obtains the temperature of the inner coil when the air conditioner is running in the heating mode and the air deflector is freely swinging.

[0029] S102, the air conditioner determines the target air deflector demand according to the correspondence between the temperature of the inner coil and the air deflector demand.

[0030] S103, the air conditioner adjusts the swinging range of the air deflector according to the target air deflector demand, so that the air deflection of the air deflector meets the target air deflector demand.

[0031] The user sends the instruction of heating and freely swinging air deflector to the air conditioner through the air conditioner remote controller or terminal device. The air conditioner receives and responds to the instruction sent by the user. The air conditioner runs in the heating mode and the air deflector is freely swinging. The temperature sensor is arranged on or near the inner coil of the air conditioner. The air conditioner can obtain the real-time temperature of the inner coil through the temperature sensor. The temperature of the inner coil and the air deflector demand have a corresponding relationship, and different inner coil temperature ranges correspond to different air deflector demands. Based on the real-time temperature of the inner coil and the corresponding relationship, the target air deflector demand can be determined. According to the determined target air deflector demand, the swinging range of the air deflector is adjusted. The air deflector swings in the adjusted swinging range, and the air deflection can meet the target air deflector demand.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the target air deflector demand is determined based on the temperature of the inner coil and the corresponding relationship between the temperature of the inner coil and the air deflector demand. Then, the swinging range of the air deflector is adjusted based on the target air deflector demand, so that the air deflector demand meets the target air deflector demand, and the inner coil can be effectively cooled. In this way, the air conditioner will not enter the frequency reduction or shutdown protection due to the high temperature of the inner coil, thereby ensuring the heating effect of the air conditioner. Moreover, the air deflector is always freely swinging, which does not violate the user's intention of setting the air deflector to freely swing, and fully meets the user's demand.

[0033] Optionally, the temperature of the inner coil and the air deflector demand have a corresponding relationship, which can be seen from Table 1.

[0034] Temperature T of inner coil Air guiding demand [ T < T1 ] Anti-cold air [T1 < T < T2] Anti-blowing people [T2 < T < T3] Anti-wind noise

[0035] [T3 < T] Anti-frequence drop or stop

[0036] Table 1

[0037] Different inner coil temperature ranges correspond to different air guide requirements. When T≤T1, the air conditioner is generally in the just started stage. At this time, the temperature of the inner coil is low. Even if the air deflector does not guide air well, it will not cause the air conditioner to reduce the frequency or stop. Moreover, at this time, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner is low, which will affect the user's demand for heating to some extent. Therefore, in this case, the main target is to prevent cold wind, so the air guide requirement is to prevent cold wind. When T1

[0038] Optionally, in combination with Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the air conditioner adjusts the swing range of the air deflector according to the target air guide requirement, which comprises:

[0039] S201, the air conditioner determines the maximum air outlet position thereof.

[0040] S202, the air conditioner controls the air deflector to swing in the range of different distances from the maximum air outlet position according to different target air guide requirements.

[0041] The maximum air outlet position of the air conditioner is preset when the air conditioner is manufactured. The maximum air outlet position is different for different models. Therefore, the maximum air outlet position matching the model of the air conditioner can be obtained from the database of the manufacturer. The distance between the swing range of the air deflector and the maximum air outlet position is different for different target air deflection requirements. According to the different target air deflection requirements, the air deflector is controlled to swing within the range at different distances from the maximum air outlet position. For example, when T1

[0042] Optionally, in S202, the air conditioner controls the air deflector to swing within the range at different distances from the maximum air outlet position according to the different target air deflection requirements, including: the higher the temperature of the inner coil, the closer the swing range corresponding to the target air deflection requirement to the maximum air outlet position.

[0043] The air deflector has a swing upper limit position and a swing lower limit position when swinging. The swing range of the air deflector is the area between the swing upper limit position and the swing lower limit position. After the air conditioner is turned on for heating, the temperature of the inner coil gradually rises as the indoor temperature rises. The higher the temperature of the inner coil, the more flowing air is needed to improve the heat dissipation of the inner coil. Therefore, the higher the temperature of the inner coil, the closer the swing range of the air deflector to the maximum air outlet position. In this way, sufficient heat dissipation of the inner coil can be ensured to prevent the air conditioner from reducing the frequency or stopping due to the high temperature of the inner coil.

[0044] Optionally, in S202, the air conditioner controls the air deflector to swing within the range at different distances from the maximum air outlet position according to the different target air deflection requirements, including: when the target air deflection requirement is to prevent blowing, the air conditioner controls the air deflector to swing within a first target swing range; and the first target swing range is within the area between the maximum air outlet position and the preset swing upper limit position of the air deflector.

[0045] The preset swing range of the air deflector is preset when the air conditioner is manufactured. The preset swing range is also the maximum swing range of the air deflector. For example, the maximum swing range of the air deflector is the area between the maximum air outlet position and the preset swing upper limit position of the air deflector. Figure 3As shown, the uppermost position reached by the deflector when it swings within the maximum swing range is the preset upper swing limit position A, and the lowermost position reached by the deflector is the preset lower swing limit position F. The maximum air outlet position is D. As described above, when T1 < T ≤ T2, the target air deflection requirement is to prevent cold air from blowing on the user. If the swing range of the deflector is large, cold air will inevitably blow on the user. Therefore, in this case, the swing range of the deflector does not need to be large. Therefore, the first target swing range of the deflector is close to the preset upper swing limit position A of the deflector. Specifically, the first target swing range is within the region between the maximum air outlet position and the preset upper swing limit position A. The deflector is controlled to swing within the first target swing range. The maximum air outlet position D is outside the first target swing range. That is, the deflector does not pass through the maximum air outlet position D when it swings within the first target swing range. In this way, the swing range of the deflector is small and avoids the maximum air outlet position D, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing cold air from blowing on the user. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2B, the swing range of the deflector is controlled to be within the first target swing range, and the maximum air outlet position D is outside the first target swing range. That is, the deflector does not pass through the maximum air outlet position D when it swings within the first target swing range. In this way, the swing range of the deflector is small and avoids the maximum air outlet position D, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing cold air from blowing on the user. Figure 3 As shown, the angle between the swing upper limit position of the first target swing range and the preset upper swing limit position A is 0-5°. That is, the swing upper limit position of the first target swing range is close to the preset upper swing limit position A. Further alternatively, the swing upper limit position of the first target swing range is the preset upper swing limit position A. The first target swing range is the region between the swing upper limit position (the preset upper swing limit position A) and the swing lower limit position B. The angle between the swing upper limit position (the preset upper swing limit position A) and the swing lower limit position B of the first target swing range is the first angle a. The first angle a is small. Alternatively, the first angle a is 10-15°. That is, the first target swing range swings in the uppermost part of the preset swing range. In this way, the cold air outlet of the air conditioner can be further prevented from blowing on the user.

[0046] Alternatively, in S202, the air conditioner controls the deflector to swing within a range at different distances from the maximum air outlet position according to different target air deflection requirements, including: in the case of preventing wind noise, the air conditioner controls the deflector to swing within a second target swing range; and wherein the maximum air outlet position is within the second target swing range.

[0047] As mentioned earlier, when T2 < T ≤ T3, the temperature of the inner coil is high, requiring the air guide plate to swing over a large range. The target airflow requirement is to reduce wind noise. In this case, it is necessary to both increase the airflow of the air guide plate and reduce wind noise. Therefore, the air guide plate is controlled to swing within the second target swing range. The second target swing range does not overlap with the first target swing range; the second target swing range is located below the first target swing range. The second target swing range is close to the maximum air outlet position, while the maximum air outlet position is within the second target swing range. That is, when the air guide plate swings within the second target swing range, it will pass through the maximum air outlet position. It can be understood that since the preset swing range is the maximum swing range of the air guide plate, the second target swing range is smaller than the preset swing range. In this way, the swing range of the air guide plate is not the maximum swing range, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing wind noise. At the same time, since the air guide plate will pass through the maximum air outlet position when swinging, it can improve airflow to a certain extent, thereby facilitating the heat dissipation of the inner coil. Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper limit position C of the second target swing range is lower than the lower limit position B of the first target swing range; the angle between the lower limit position of the second target swing range and the preset lower limit position F is 0°-5°. That is, the lower limit position of the second target swing range is very close to the preset lower limit position F. Further optionally, the lower limit position of the second target swing range is the preset lower limit position F. The second target swing range is the area between the upper limit position C and the lower limit position (preset lower limit position F). The angle between the upper limit position C and the lower limit position (preset lower limit position F) of the second target swing range is a second angle β. The second angle β is relatively large. Optionally, the second angle β is 45°-60°. That is, the second target swing range is below the first swing range. This further prevents wind noise and ensures heat dissipation for the internal coil.

[0048] Optionally, S202, the air conditioner controls the air guide plate to swing within a range of different distances from the maximum air outlet position according to different target airflow requirements, including: when the target airflow requirement is to prevent frequency reduction or shutdown, controlling the air guide plate to swing within a third target swing range; wherein, the maximum air outlet position is located within the third target swing range; within the same time period and with the same swing rate of the air guide plate, the number of times the air guide plate passes the maximum air outlet position when swinging within the third target swing range is greater than the number of times it passes the maximum air outlet position when swinging within the second target swing range.

[0049] As described above, when T3 < T, the temperature of the inner coil is too high, and the heat dissipation of the inner coil is mainly considered. In this case, the air deflector is controlled to swing in a third target swing range. The third target swing range is close to the maximum air outlet position, and the maximum air outlet position is located in the third target swing range. That is, when the air deflector swings in the third target swing range, it will pass through the maximum air outlet position. Since the temperature of the inner coil at this time is higher than the temperature of the inner coil corresponding to the second target swing range, the heat dissipation of the inner coil needs to be further improved. Therefore, in the same time period and under the condition that the swing rate of the air deflector is the same, the number of times the air deflector passes through the maximum air outlet position when swinging in the third target swing range is greater than the number of times the air deflector passes through the maximum air outlet position when swinging in the second target swing range, which can be achieved by setting the third target swing range to be smaller than the second target swing range. That is, in the same time period, the air deflector swings longer near the maximum air outlet position. In this way, the flow of air can be improved, thereby improving the heat dissipation of the inner coil. Further, prevent the inner coil temperature from being too high, which causes the air conditioner to reduce the frequency or stop. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 3 the swing upper limit position of the third swing range is located between the lower limit position B of the first swing range and the maximum air outlet position D. Further, the swing upper limit position of the third swing range is the swing upper limit position C of the second swing range. The swing lower limit position E of the third swing range is located between the maximum air outlet position D and the lower limit swing range F of the second swing range. Alternatively, the maximum air outlet position D is located at the middle position of the third swing range. The included angle between the swing upper limit position and the swing lower limit position E of the third target swing range is a third included angle γ, and γ < β, that is, the third target range is smaller than the second target swing range. Alternatively, the third included angle γ is 30°-40°. In this way, the heat dissipation of the inner coil can be further improved.

[0050] Alternatively, in S202, the air conditioner controls the air deflector to swing in a range with different distances from the maximum air outlet position according to different target air deflection requirements, including: when the target air deflection requirement is cold wind prevention, the air conditioner controls the fourth target swing range of the air deflector to be zero, and the position of the air deflector is located at the preset swing upper limit position of the preset swing range.

[0051] As described above, when T ≤ T1, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner is low, and cold wind prevention is mainly considered at this time. In this case, the swing range of the air deflector is controlled to be zero. That is, the position of the air deflector is fixed at a position. Alternatively, the position of the air deflector is fixed at the preset swing upper limit position A of the preset swing range. In this way, the amount of cold wind blown out can be maximally reduced.

[0052] Alternatively, in combination with Figure 4 the air conditioner is controlled to swing in a range with different distances from the maximum air outlet position according to different target air deflection requirements, including:

[0053] S401, the air conditioner obtains the temperature of the inner coil when the air conditioner is running in the heating mode and the air deflector is freely swinging.

[0054] S402, the air conditioner determines the target air deflector air deflection demand according to the correspondence between the temperature of the inner coil and the air deflector air deflection demand, and determines the target fan speed demand according to the correspondence between the temperature of the inner coil and the fan speed demand.

[0055] S403, the air conditioner adjusts the swinging range of the air deflector according to the target air deflector air deflection demand, so that the air deflection of the air deflector meets the target air deflector air deflection demand, and adjusts the speed of the fan according to the target fan speed demand, so that the speed of the fan meets the target fan speed demand and matches the target air deflector air deflection demand.

[0056] The user sends a heating instruction and an air deflector free swing instruction to the air conditioner through the air conditioner remote controller or terminal device. The air conditioner receives and responds to the instruction sent by the user. The air conditioner runs in the heating mode and the air deflector freely swings. A temperature sensor is arranged on or near the inner coil of the air conditioner. The air conditioner can obtain the real-time temperature of the inner coil through the temperature sensor. There is a corresponding relationship between the temperature of the inner coil and the air deflector air deflection demand, and different inner coil temperature ranges correspond to different air deflection demands. Based on the real-time temperature of the inner coil and the corresponding relationship, the target air deflector air deflection demand can be determined. According to the determined target air deflector air deflection demand, the swinging range of the air deflector is adjusted. The air deflector swings in the adjusted swinging range, and the air deflection performed can meet the target air deflector air deflection demand.

[0057] There is also a corresponding relationship between the temperature of the inner coil and the fan speed demand, and different inner coil temperature ranges correspond to different speed demands. Based on the real-time temperature of the inner coil and the corresponding relationship, the target fan speed demand can be determined. According to the determined target fan speed demand, the speed of the fan is adjusted. The fan runs at the adjusted speed. At the same time, the adjusted fan speed also matches the target air deflector air deflection demand, so that the temperature of the inner coil, the swinging range of the air deflector and the speed of the fan are matched to maximize the satisfaction of the user's demand for the air deflector to swing freely while ensuring the heating effect.

[0058] Optionally, there is a corresponding relationship between the temperature of the inner coil, the air deflector air deflection demand and the fan speed demand, which can be seen in Table 2.

[0059] Temperature T of inner coil Air guiding demand Rotating speed demand [ T < T1 ] Anti-cold air 0 [T1 < T < T2] Anti-blowing people ​ [T2 < T < T3] Anti-wind noise <![CDATA[V2]]> [T3 < T] Anti-frequence drop or stop <![CDATA[V3]]>

[0060] Table 2

[0061] The specific implementation process of the temperature of the inner coil and the air deflection demand can be seen in the foregoing, which will not be described here.

[0062] Different inner coil temperature ranges correspond to different speed requirements. When T≤T1, the air conditioner is generally in the just-on stage. The temperature of the inner coil is low. Even if the air deflector is not deflected well, the air conditioner will not reduce the frequency or stop. Moreover, the deflection requirement at this time is to prevent cold wind, and the air outlet of the air conditioner should not be too large. Therefore, in this case, the speed requirement is 0, that is, the fan does not rotate. When T1

[0063] In actual application, the temperature of the inner coil is T; the area between position A and position F is the preset swing range, position A is the preset swing upper limit position, and position F is the preset swing lower limit position; D is the maximum air outlet position of the air conditioner; in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 5 as shown in

[0064] When T≤25℃, the fan does not rotate, and the air deflector is stationary at position A; at this time, cold wind can be prevented; T can be lowered to below 23℃;

[0065] When 25℃

[0066] When 37℃

[0067] When 50℃

[0068] in combination with Figure 6As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device for controlling an air conditioner air deflector, comprising: an acquisition module 61, a determination module 62 and an adjustment module 63. The acquisition module 61 is configured to acquire the temperature of the inner coil when the air conditioner is running in the heating mode and the air deflector is free to swing; the determination module 62 is configured to determine the target air deflector demand of the air deflector according to the corresponding relationship between the temperature of the inner coil and the air deflector demand of the air deflector; and the adjustment module 63 is configured to adjust the swing range of the air deflector according to the target air deflector demand, so that the air deflector meets the target air deflector demand.

[0069] By using the device for controlling an air conditioner air deflector provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the target air deflector demand of the air deflector is determined based on the temperature of the inner coil and the corresponding relationship between the temperature of the inner coil and the air deflector demand of the air deflector. Then, the swing range of the air deflector is adjusted based on the target air deflector demand, so that the air deflector demand of the air deflector meets the target air deflector demand, thereby effectively dissipating heat from the inner coil. In this way, the air conditioner will not enter the frequency reduction or shutdown protection due to the excessively high temperature of the inner coil, thereby ensuring the heating effect of the air conditioner. Moreover, the air deflector is always free to swing, which will not violate the user's intention of setting the air deflector to swing freely, thereby fully meeting the user's demand.

[0070] In combination with Figure 7 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device for controlling an air conditioner air deflector, comprising a processor 70 and a memory 71. Optionally, the device can further comprise a communication interface 72 and a bus 73.

The processor 70 can call the logical instructions in the memory 71 to execute the method for controlling an air conditioner air deflector of the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0071] In addition, the logical instructions in the memory 71 described above can be implemented in the form of a software functional unit and sold or used as an independent product, which can be stored in a computer readable storage medium.
