Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart home appliance technology, for example to a method, apparatus, air conditioner, and storage medium for controlling an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, air conditioners are commonly used household appliances, frequently used in summer and winter to improve the comfort of users' home environment. However, because the cold or hot air from the air conditioner is blown directly from the vent onto the user, it can cause the user to feel too cold or too hot, making them uncomfortable and affecting their user experience. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to such an environment, with the moving airflow blowing directly on the body, can cause discomfort, especially for the elderly and children with weaker constitutions, making them susceptible to "air conditioning sickness."

[0003] The related technology discloses a method for controlling an indoor unit of an air conditioner. The indoor unit includes a switching device, a housing, an air duct assembly, and a control board. An airflow channel is formed within the air duct assembly. The housing has a first air outlet and a second air outlet respectively communicating with the airflow channel. A guide plate with micropores is provided at the first air outlet. The method for controlling the indoor unit includes: S1, the control board selects a cooling mode or a heating mode according to a received control signal; S2, the control board selects a normal air outlet mode or a windless air outlet mode according to the control signal received; in the windless air outlet mode, the switching device controls the indoor unit to discharge air through the first air outlet; in the normal air outlet mode, the switching device controls the indoor unit to discharge air through the second air outlet; the switching device includes a door panel on the housing and a drive mechanism for moving the door panel; in the windless air outlet mode in step S2, the control board controls the drive mechanism to move the door panel, opening the first air outlet and closing the second air outlet.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art:

[0005] Related technologies utilize micropores to reduce the airflow speed through the micropores in order to soften the airflow. However, the direction of the airflow blown out of the micropores does not change; it still blows directly towards the user, making it difficult to achieve a soft, windless effect.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0013] In some embodiments, the method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: obtaining the user's identity information; and, if the identity information indicates that the user is a special care user, controlling the current with an intensity of I3 to flow into the conductive column in a first direction so that an angle θ3 is formed between the baffle and the air guide plate; wherein, the special care user includes one or more of the following: the elderly, children, infants, and pregnant women.

[0014] In some embodiments, the spoiler can also rotate towards the air guide plate and form an angle with the air guide plate under the action of a magnetic field when a second direction current is passed through the conductive column. The method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: obtaining the user's dwell time; if the user's dwell time is less than a preset time, controlling the passage of a second direction current through the conductive column so that the spoiler moves towards the windward side and the angle formed between it and the air guide plate is zero degrees.

The device for controlling the air conditioner includes: a first acquisition module configured to acquire the user's dwell time; a second acquisition module configured to acquire the distance between the user and the air conditioner if the user's dwell time is greater than or equal to a first preset duration; a determination module configured to determine a windless operation strategy for the air guide mechanism based on the distance between the user and the air conditioner; and a control module configured to control the air conditioner to operate based on the windless operation strategy of the air guide mechanism.

[0016] In some embodiments, the apparatus for controlling an air conditioner includes a processor and a memory storing program instructions, the processor being configured to execute, when running the program instructions, the method for controlling the air conditioner as described above.

[0017] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes: an air conditioner body; and, as described above, a means for controlling the air conditioner, which is installed on the air conditioner body.

[0019] The method, apparatus, air conditioner, and storage medium for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:

[0020] By obtaining the distance between the user and the air conditioner, the system determines the windless operation strategy of the air conditioner's air guide mechanism, and then controls the air conditioner to operate according to this strategy. By implementing this strategy, the airflow at the vents is turbulent, effectively preventing strong airflow from blowing directly on the user, making them feel no wind, and thus achieving a gentle, windless airflow that improves user comfort.

[0052] Combination Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, including an indoor unit. The indoor unit includes a housing 10, an air outlet 11 on the housing 10, and an air guide mechanism at the air outlet 11. The air guide mechanism includes an air guide plate 100 and a deflector assembly 200. The air guide plate 100 includes a windward side 110. The deflector assembly 200 is disposed on the windward side 110 and includes a plurality of deflector plates 210 extending along the length of the air guide plate 100. Each deflector plate 210 is rotatable about an axis parallel to its own length direction and forms an angle with the air guide plate 100 to deflect the airflow passing through the windward side 110. Optionally, the air guide mechanism is disposed at the air outlet 11 of the housing 10 of the indoor unit, and the air guide plate 100 can be controlled to open or close the air outlet 11. With the air outlet 11 closed by the air guide plate 100, the side facing the interior of the air conditioner indoor unit casing 10 is the windward side 110, and the side away from the interior of the air conditioner indoor unit casing 10 is the leeward side. By rotating the air guide plate 100 to different angles, the air outlet 11 can be changed to direct the airflow in different directions or areas.

[0053] Optionally, the spoiler 210 is rotatably disposed on the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100, and is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air guide plate 100. The spoiler 210 extends along the length direction of the air guide plate 100, and can rotate about an axis parallel to its own length direction, forming multiple working positions with different angles to the air guide plate 100 during rotation. Thus, by controlling the rotation of the spoiler 210 to form a certain angle with the air guide plate, the airflow passing through the windward side 110 can be turbulent. When the airflow passes the windward side 110, it will be disturbed by the spoiler 210. Part of the airflow will flow out along the gap between the connected spoilers 210, and part of the airflow will flow through the side of the spoiler 210 and along the extension angle of the spoiler 210. In this way, the airflow can be dispersed by the spoiler 210, increasing the air outlet area, so that the air outlet will not be concentrated and blown into the room and will be more easily diffused into the room. This changes the air outlet speed and turbulence, forming a more comfortable gentle breeze that is closer to the natural wind. Therefore, it can effectively prevent the wind from blowing directly on the user, so that the user feels no wind, thus achieving a comfortable windless air outlet and improving the user's comfort.

[0054] Optionally, the spoiler 210 can be configured in multiple working positions with different angles between it and the air guide plate 100 to control the gentleness of the airflow. The larger the angle between the spoiler 210 and the air guide plate 100, the gentler the airflow. In addition, by rotating the spoiler 210 to form a certain angle with the air guide plate 100 to disturb the airflow, it is possible to prevent the airflow from accumulating on the windward side 110 of the air guide plate, thereby reducing the occurrence of condensation on the air guide plate 100 in the cooling state.

[0055] Optionally, the deflector 200 is provided on the windward side 110, but not on the leeward side. This ensures the aesthetic appearance of the housing 10 when the air guide mechanism is installed at the air outlet 11.

[0056] Optionally, combined Figure 9 As shown, the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100 can rotate upward toward the air conditioner indoor unit, thus turbulenting the airflow towards the upper front of the air conditioner indoor unit; or, in combination with Figure 10 As shown, the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100 can rotate towards the lower part of the air conditioner indoor unit, thus turbulenting the air outlet towards the lower front side of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0057] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the turbulence assembly 200 also includes a magnet assembly, which includes a first magnet 220 and a second magnet 230. The windward side 110 is provided with a U-shaped mounting groove 120 arranged along the periphery of the air guide plate 100. The U-shaped mounting groove 120 includes a first groove 121 and a second groove 122 that are interconnected. The first groove 121 and the second groove 122 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis in the length direction of the air guide plate 100. The first magnet 220 is embedded in the first groove 121. The second magnet 230 is embedded in the second groove 122 and connected to the first magnet 220. The first magnet 220 and the second magnet 230 have different magnetic poles. Each spoiler 210 has a conductive post 211 arranged along the side extension direction of the length of the U-shaped mounting groove. When the conductive post 211 is filled with current in the first direction, the spoiler 210 is subjected to an upward magnetic force in the magnetic field generated by the first magnet 220 and the second magnet 230, so as to drive the spoiler 210 to rotate in a direction away from the air guide plate 100.

[0058] Optionally, the first magnet 220 is an N-level segment, and the second magnet 230 is an S-level segment. The magnetic field lines generated after the first magnet 220 and the second magnet 230 are connected flow from the N-level segment into the S-level segment. The length direction of the first groove 121 / the length direction of the second groove 122 is the same as the lateral extension direction of the U-shaped mounting groove along its length. Optionally, the extension direction of the conductive post 211 is the same as the lateral extension direction of the U-shaped mounting groove along its length.

[0059] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, when a current in the first direction flows through the conductive post 211, an upward magnetic field is generated, which can drive the spoiler 210 to rotate in a direction away from the windward side 110, forming an angle with the guide plate 100, thereby turbulenting the airflow and creating a more comfortable gentle breeze. Furthermore, the larger the current in the first direction, the stronger the generated electromagnetic force, and the larger the angle between the spoiler 210 and the guide plate 100. Therefore, the opening angle of the spoiler 210 can be controlled by controlling the current magnitude. Further, the maximum angle between the spoiler 210 and the guide plate 100 is 60°. Optionally, the spoiler 210 can be opened or closed by adjusting the current in the first direction and the current in the second direction.

[0060] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 6As shown, when a current in the second direction flows through the conductive column 211, a downward magnetic field is generated, which can drive the baffle 210 to rotate towards the windward side 110 until the angle between it and the air guide plate 100 approaches zero degrees. At this time, the airflow flows through the windward side 110, which can ensure the normal cooling or heating mode of the air conditioner indoor unit. The current flows in opposite directions in the first and second directions, with the first direction defined as positive and the second direction as negative, and the direction of the magnetic field is determined according to the left-hand rule. Optionally, the conductive column 211 includes a first end 2111 and a second end 2112 arranged opposite to each other. The current in the first direction flows from the first end 2111 to the second end 2112, and the current in the second direction flows from the second end 2112 to the first end 2111.

[0061] Furthermore, by controlling the rotation of the spoiler 210, the airflow of the indoor unit can be diversified, making the airflow mode of the indoor unit more flexible.

[0062] Optionally, it is embedded inside the spoiler 210.

[0063] Optionally, the multiple spoilers 210 are divided into a first group of spoilers and a second group of guide vanes. The first group of spoilers is located on a straight line, and the second group of spoilers is located on a straight line. The first group of spoilers and the second group of spoilers are arranged at intervals along the length of the guide vane 100.

[0064] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a recessed groove 111 is formed on the windward side 110 to accommodate the spoiler 210, and each spoiler 210 is correspondingly disposed in a groove 111.

[0065] Optionally, the shape of the receiving groove 111 matches the shape of the spoiler 210 so that the spoiler 210 can be placed inside the receiving groove 111. In this way, when a gentle breeze is not needed, a current in the second direction is passed through the conductive column 211, driving the spoiler 210 towards the windward side 110 until the angle between it and the guide plate 100 approaches zero degrees. At this point, the spoiler is located inside the receiving groove 111, and the spoiler 210 no longer disturbs the airflow passing through the windward side 110. When a gentle breeze is needed, a current in the first direction is passed through the conductive column 211, driving the spoiler 210 towards the direction away from the windward side 110 to its working position, forming a certain angle with the guide plate 100, thereby disturbing the airflow passing through the windward side 110 to create a gentle breeze.

[0066] Furthermore, when it is necessary to turbulent the airflow passing through the windward side 110, the spoiler 210 can be rotated out from the receiving slot 111 to form a certain angle with the air guide plate 100, thereby turbulenting the airflow passing through the windward side 110 to form a gentle breeze; when it is not necessary to turbulent the airflow passing through the windward side 110, it can be rotated and stored in the receiving slot 111. At this time, the spoiler 210 can be hidden in the receiving slot 111, thus better reducing the risk of the spoiler 210 being damaged by external factors, while making the overall structure of the air conditioner more compact.

[0067] Optionally, a hinge shaft 240 is provided flush with the edge of the spoiler 210, and the two ends of the hinge shaft 240 are pivotally engaged with the inner sidewall of the receiving groove 111.

[0068] Optionally, the two ends of the hinge shaft 240 are pivotally engaged with the inner wall of the receiving groove 111 and are flush with and fixed at the edge of the spoiler 210. In this way, under the action of electromagnetic force, the spoiler 210 can be driven to rotate around the hinge shaft 240 to move in a direction away from the windward side 110 and form a certain angle with the wind guide plate 100; or, under the action of electromagnetic force, the spoiler 210 can be driven to rotate around the hinge shaft 240 to move in a direction closer to the windward side 110 and be housed in the receiving groove 111.

[0069] Optionally, the spoiler 210 includes a first side end 212 and a second side end 213 arranged opposite to each other, a hinge shaft 240 is disposed on the first side end 212, and a conductive post 211 is disposed on the second side end 213, or the hinge shaft 240 is disposed on the second side end 213 and the conductive post 211 is disposed on the first side end 212.

[0070] Optionally, the spoiler 210 includes a first side end 212 and a second side end 213 arranged opposite to each other, both the first side end 212 and the second side end 213 extending along the length of the air guide plate 100. A hinge shaft 240 is disposed at the first side end 212, and a conductive post 211 is disposed at the second side end 213; alternatively, the hinge shaft 240 is disposed at the second side end 213, and the conductive post 211 is disposed at the first side end 212. This facilitates increased torque and allows for rotation of the side end with the conductive post 211 around the side end with the hinge shaft 240 when current is passed through the conductive post 211.

[0071] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8As shown, the spoiler 210 also includes a first side 214 and a second side 215 arranged opposite to each other, the first side 214 and / or the second side 215 being a wave surface; wherein, when the spoiler 210 is placed in the receiving groove 111, the first side 214 and the second side 215 are both parallel to the windward side 110.

[0072] Optionally, when the spoiler 210 is placed within the receiving groove 111, the first side 214 faces the windward side 110. The first side 214 is configured with a wave-like surface. Thus, when the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100 rotates towards the top of the indoor unit, the spoiler 210 rotates and forms an angle with the air guide plate 100, with the first side 214 facing the direction of the incoming airflow. The wave-like first side 214 can turbulentize the airflow exiting towards the front upper side of the indoor unit. Alternatively, the second side 215 is configured with a wave-like surface. When the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100 rotates towards the bottom of the indoor unit, the spoiler 210 rotates and forms an angle with the air guide plate 100, with the second side 215 facing the direction of the incoming airflow. The wave-like second side 215 can turbulentize the airflow exiting towards the front lower side of the indoor unit.

[0073] Optionally, both the first side 214 and the second side 215 are configured as wavy surfaces.

[0074] Optionally, the wave surface has multiple crests and troughs, which can break up the airflow passing through the spoiler 210 into finer particles and improve the turbulence effect on the airflow; at the same time, it can also avoid large airflow resistance and airflow noise caused by the turbulence effect of the spoiler 210.

[0075] Optionally, when the spoiler 210 is placed in the receiving groove 111, the first side 214 faces the windward side 110, and the height of the first side 214 is lower than that of the windward side 110, or the first side 214 is flush with the windward side 110.

[0076] Thus, when it is not necessary to turbulent the airflow passing through the windward side 110, the spoiler 210 is concealed inside the receiving groove 111. This is achieved by either making the height of the first side 214 lower than the height of the windward side 110, or making the height of the first side 214 equal to the height of the windward side 110. This prevents the spoiler 210 from being damaged by the airflow passing through the windward side 110, and prevents it from being suddenly lifted out of the receiving groove 111 and damaged under the impact of the high-speed airflow passing through the windward side 110, thereby improving the safety and stability of the spoiler 210.

[0077] In some embodiments, the air guiding mechanism further includes a first magnetic member 310 and a second magnetic member 320 that attract each other, with the first magnetic member 310 provided on the first side 214 and the second magnetic member 320 provided on the bottom surface of the receiving groove 111.

[0078] Optionally, the windward side 110 is provided such that, when it is not necessary to turbulent the airflow passing through the windward side 110, and the spoiler 210 is housed and hidden inside the receiving groove 111, the first side 214 of the spoiler 210 and the bottom surface of the receiving groove 111 attract each other, which can further improve the stability of the spoiler 210.

[0079] Optionally, both the first magnetic attractor 310 and the second magnetic attractor 320 are magnets; or, the first magnetic attractor 310 is a magnet and the material of the second magnetic attractor 320 includes a ferromagnetic material; or, the material of the first magnetic attractor 310 includes a ferromagnetic material and the second magnetic attractor 320 is a magnet.

[0080] In some embodiments, the surface of the air guide plate 100 is provided with a bactericidal coating, and / or the surface of the baffle plate 210 is provided with a bactericidal coating.

[0081] Optionally, the bactericidal coating is applied to the air guide plate 100 by coating. Optionally, the air guide plate 100 has a bactericidal coating on its windward side 110 and / or leeward side. Specifically, the windward side 110 or the leeward side has a bactericidal coating, which can reduce production costs while adding bactericidal function to the windward side 110 or the leeward side of the air guide plate 100; or, both the windward side 110 and the leeward side of the air guide plate 100 have bactericidal coatings, which can comprehensively sterilize the airflow passing through the windward side 110 and the leeward side, improving sterilization efficiency and air purification effect.

[0082] Optionally, the antibacterial coating is applied to the spoiler 210 by coating. Optionally, the surface of the spoiler 210 is provided with an antibacterial coating. Specifically, the first side 214 is provided with an antibacterial coating. When the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100 rotates towards the upper part of the indoor unit, the spoiler 210 rotates and forms a certain angle with the air guide plate 100, with the first side 214 facing the direction of the airflow. The first side 214 sterilizes the air outlet air facing the upper front side of the indoor unit, increasing the sterilization function while reducing production costs. Alternatively, the second side 215 is provided with an antibacterial coating. When the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100 rotates towards the lower part of the indoor unit, the spoiler 210 rotates and forms a certain angle with the air guide plate 100, with the second side 215 facing the direction of the airflow. The second side 215 sterilizes the air outlet air facing the lower front side of the indoor unit, increasing the sterilization function while reducing production costs. Alternatively, both the first side 214 and the second side 215 are provided with antibacterial coatings. In this way, the spoiler 210 can be equipped with a sterilization function, and when a gentle breeze is required, the airflow passing through the spoiler 210 can be sterilized and purified.

[0083] Optionally, both the surface of the air guide plate 100 and the surface of the spoiler 210 are provided with a bactericidal coating so that both the air guide plate 100 and the spoiler 210 have a bactericidal function.

[0084] Optionally, a bactericidal coating is uniformly sprayed onto the surface of the air guide plate 100 and / or the spoiler plate 210. Specifically, the bactericidal coating includes bactericidal paint, bactericidal fibers, silver ions, or activated carbon, etc. The bactericidal coating can sterilize bacteria in the airflow it comes into contact with, thereby achieving the effect of purifying the air.

[0085] Optionally, the bactericidal coating includes inorganic and organic antibacterial agents. The inorganic antibacterial agent primarily utilizes the antibacterial properties of metals such as silver, copper, and zinc, fixing these metals onto the surface of the air guide plate 100 and / or the spoiler plate 210 through methods such as physical adsorption and ion exchange. The organic antibacterial agent uses organic antibacterial agents, such as vanillin or ethyl vanillin compounds. By providing a bactericidal coating on the surface of the air guide plate 100 and / or the spoiler plate 210, the airflow passing over these surfaces can be sterilized, thereby improving the cleanliness of the airflow exiting the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0086] Combination Figure 11 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, a method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, comprising:

[0087] S11, obtain the distance between the user and the air conditioner.

[0088] S12, determine the windless operation strategy of the air guide mechanism based on the distance between the user and the air conditioner.

[0089] S13 controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the windless operation strategy of the air guide mechanism.

[0090] Optionally, the system can first obtain the duration of the user's stay in the space associated with the air conditioner. If the stay duration exceeds a preset duration, it indicates that the user intends to remain in that space. In this case, the distance between the user and the air conditioner is obtained, and the windless operation strategy of the air guide mechanism is determined based on the distance between the user and the air conditioner. Here, the space associated with the air conditioner refers to the space where the air conditioner is installed.

[0091] In this solution, a distance monitoring device can be installed on the air conditioner to determine the position between the air conditioner and the user. Specifically, the distance monitoring device can be an infrared detection device, including at least one infrared transmitter and at least one infrared receiver. The infrared transmitter emits infrared light, and the infrared receiver receives the reflected infrared light, determining the distance between the user and the air conditioner based on the received infrared light. Alternatively, the distance monitoring device can be a laser observation device, including at least one laser transmitter and at least one laser receiver. The laser transmitter emits laser signals, and the laser receiver receives the reflected laser signals, determining the distance between the user and the air conditioner based on the received laser signals. Alternatively, the distance monitoring device can be a radar detection device, including a transmitter for emitting electromagnetic waves and a receiver for receiving reflected electromagnetic waves, determining the distance between the user and the air conditioner based on the reflected electromagnetic waves.

[0092] Optionally, the windless operation strategy refers to controlling the rotation direction of the air guide vane and the angle between the air deflector and the air guide vane on the windward side by determining the distance between the user and the air conditioner. This changes the direction of the airflow passing through the windward side, dispersing the airflow and increasing its outlet area, making it easier for the air to diffuse into the room. This alters the airflow speed and turbulence, creating a more comfortable, gentle breeze. This effectively prevents the wind from blowing directly on the user, making them feel no wind, thus achieving a comfortable windless airflow. This avoids strong airflow blowing directly on the user. Therefore, after determining the windless operation strategy of the air guide mechanism, the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to this strategy.

[0093] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure determines the windless operation strategy of the air guide mechanism by obtaining the distance between the user and the air conditioner, and then controls the air conditioner to operate according to the windless operation strategy. By making the air conditioner operate according to the windless operation strategy, the airflow at the air outlet can be turbulent, thereby effectively preventing strong airflow from blowing directly on the user, making the user feel no wind, and thus achieving a gentle windless airflow, improving user comfort.

[0094] Combination Figure 12 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, another method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, including:

[0095] S11, obtain the distance between the user and the air conditioner.

[0096] S121, when the distance between the user and the air conditioner is less than or equal to the first preset distance, the windward side of the air guide plate is controlled to rotate downward and the turbulence component is activated to turbulent the airflow passing through the windward side.

[0097] S121, when the distance between the user and the air conditioner is greater than the first preset distance, control the windward side of the air guide plate to rotate upward and activate the turbulence component to turbulent the airflow passing through the windward side.

[0098] S13 controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the windless operation strategy of the air guide mechanism.

[0099] Optionally, if the distance between the user and the air conditioner is less than or equal to a first preset distance, it indicates that the distance between the user and the air conditioner is relatively close. With the air guide plate open, the airflow flowing through the lower side of the air guide plate is more likely to contact the user. Therefore, at this time, the windward side equipped with the turbulence-disrupting component is controlled to rotate downward, and the turbulence-disrupting component is activated to turbulent the airflow flowing through the windward side, reducing the air velocity and turbulence of the outlet air, thereby creating a more comfortable gentle breeze.

[0100] Optionally, if the distance between the user and the air conditioner is greater than a first preset distance, it indicates that the distance between the user and the air conditioner is relatively far. When the air guide plate is open, the airflow flowing through the upper side of the air guide plate is more likely to reach the user due to its guiding effect. Therefore, at this time, the windward side equipped with the turbulence component is controlled to rotate upward, and the turbulence component is activated to disturb the airflow flowing through the windward side, reducing the air velocity and turbulence of the outlet air, thereby creating a more comfortable gentle breeze.

[0101] Optionally, when the distance between the user and the air conditioner is less than or equal to a first preset distance, the air guide plate is controlled to rotate downwards and the deflector assembly is activated, including: when the distance between the user and the air conditioner is less than or equal to the first preset distance and greater than a second preset distance, a first directional current with an intensity of I1 is controlled to be passed through the conductive column to form an angle θ1 between the deflector plate and the air guide plate; when the distance between the user and the air conditioner is less than or equal to the second preset distance and greater than a third preset distance, a first directional current with an intensity of I2 is controlled to be passed through the conductive column to form an angle θ2 between the deflector plate and the air guide plate; when the distance between the user and the air conditioner is less than or equal to the third preset distance, a first directional current with an intensity of I3 is controlled to be passed through the conductive column to form an angle θ3 between the deflector plate and the air guide plate.

[0102] Where I1 < I2 < I3, θ1 < θ2 < θ3. Among them, θ3 is the largest, θ3 is 60°, θ2 is 45°, and θ1 is 30°.

[0103] Optionally, the stronger the current intensity of the first current, the greater the force formed in the magnetic field generated by the magnet assembly, which allows for a larger angle between the spoiler and the guide plate. Therefore, the greater the turbulence intensity on the airflow flowing through the windward side. The smaller the distance between the user and the air conditioner, the greater the likelihood of being directly hit by the strong airflow flowing through the downward-facing windward side.

[0104] In this solution, the current intensity of the first directional current is determined based on the distance between the user and the air conditioner, so that the baffle and the air guide plate form a corresponding angle, thereby matching the degree of turbulence with the distance between the air conditioner and the user. At this time, the baffle and the air guide plate form a large angle, the turbulence intensity is strong, and the direction of the airflow flowing through the windward side is changed. At this time, the airflow is dispersed by the turbulence, increasing its air outlet area, making it easier for the air outlet to diffuse into the room, thereby changing the air outlet speed and turbulence, forming a more comfortable soft breeze, which can effectively prevent the wind from blowing directly on the user, making the user feel no wind, and thus achieving a comfortable windless air outlet.

[0105] Optionally, when the distance between the user and the air conditioner is greater than a first preset distance, the air guide plate is controlled to rotate upwards and the turbulence assembly is activated. This includes: when the distance between the user and the air conditioner is less than or equal to a fourth preset distance and greater than the first preset distance, a first directional current with an intensity of I4 is controlled to be passed through the conductive column so that an angle θ4 is formed between the turbulence plate and the air guide plate; when the distance between the user and the air conditioner is less than or equal to a fifth preset distance and greater than the fourth preset distance, a first directional current with an intensity of I5 is controlled to be passed through the conductive column so that an angle θ5 is formed between the turbulence plate and the air guide plate.

[0106] Where I5 ​​< I4 < I1, θ5 < θ4 < θ1. θ4 is 20°, and θ5 is 10°.

[0107] Optionally, the lower the current intensity of the first current, the smaller the force formed in the magnetic field generated by the magnet assembly, and the smaller the angle between the spoiler and the guide plate. Therefore, the turbulence intensity on the airflow flowing through the windward side is smaller. The greater the distance between the user and the air conditioner, the greater the possibility of being directly blown by the strong airflow flowing through the upward windward side. However, the greater the distance between the user and the air conditioner, the lower the turbulence intensity on the airflow flowing through the windward side can be.

[0108] In this solution, the current intensity of the first directional current is determined based on the distance between the user and the air conditioner, so that the baffle and the air guide plate form a corresponding angle, thereby matching the degree of turbulence with the distance between the air conditioner and the user. At this time, the baffle and the air guide plate form an angle, and the turbulence intensity is relatively weak, but it can still change the direction of the airflow flowing through the windward side. At this time, the airflow is dispersed by the turbulence, increasing its air outlet area, making it easier for the air outlet to diffuse towards the room, thereby changing the air outlet speed and turbulence, forming a more comfortable soft breeze, which can effectively prevent the wind from blowing directly on the user, making the user feel no wind, and thus achieving a comfortable windless air outlet.

[0109] Optionally, the method for controlling the air conditioner also includes: obtaining the user's identity information; and, if the identity information indicates that the user is a special care user, controlling the current with an intensity of I3 to flow into the conductive column in a first direction so that an angle θ3 is formed between the baffle and the air guide plate.

[0110] Among them, users requiring special care include one or more of the following: the elderly, children, infants, and pregnant women.

[0111] Optionally, if there are multiple users, it is necessary to determine whether there are any users receiving special attention. Based on the information of users receiving special attention, a first directional current with an intensity of I3 is controlled to flow into the conductive column, so that an angle θ3 is formed between the baffle and the air guide plate.

[0112] In this design, the elderly, children, infants, and pregnant women have lower immunity. If they are directly exposed to strong airflow, it will exacerbate their discomfort and cause them to catch a cold. Therefore, when the users in the space associated with the air conditioner include one or more of these groups, a first-direction current with an intensity of I3 is controlled to flow through the conductive column, so that an angle θ3 is formed between the spoiler and the air guide plate. As mentioned above, the angle θ3 is at its maximum, at which point the spoiler's turbulence intensity is at its maximum.

[0113] Optionally, the air conditioner is equipped with an image acquisition device. The air conditioner acquires images of the user in the space where it is located through the image acquisition device, and performs image recognition through the air conditioner's processor to determine the user's identity information.

[0114] Optionally, the method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: obtaining the user's dwell time; if the user's dwell time is less than a preset time, controlling the conductive column to pass a second directional current so that the spoiler moves toward the direction closer to the windward side and the angle formed between it and the air guide plate is zero degrees.

[0115] Optionally, if the user's stay time in the space associated with the air conditioner is less than the preset time, it indicates that the user's stay is short and there is no need to turbulentize the air outlet. Therefore, a second-direction current is supplied to the conductive column to make the spoiler move towards the windward side, forming a zero-degree angle with the air guide plate. At this time, the second-direction current is continuously supplied to the conductive column to ensure that the spoiler adheres tightly to the windward side, preventing it from being forcefully lifted off by the airflow, thus improving the stability and safety of the air guide mechanism.

The air conditioner includes an indoor unit, and an air guide mechanism is provided at the air outlet of the indoor unit.

The control module 24 is configured to control the operation of the air conditioner based on the windless operation strategy of the air guide mechanism.

[0117] The device for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure allows for the determination of a draft-free operation strategy for the air guide mechanism of the air conditioner by obtaining the distance between the user and the air conditioner, thereby controlling the air conditioner to operate according to the draft-free operation strategy.
