Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and more particularly, to a mobile air conditioner, a control method, and a readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology, people's requirements for the quality of life are getting higher and higher. Correspondingly, there are also certain requirements for the matching degree between household appliances and the environment. As a common household appliance, the mobile air conditioner provides cooling / heating functions, and its movable feature has been recognized by the public.

[0003] However, in the actual use process, the mobile air conditioner includes an indoor air outlet and an outdoor air outlet. The indoor air outlet is used to discharge the air that has undergone heat exchange into the room for indoor temperature adjustment. The outdoor air outlet is used to discharge the air that has undergone heat exchange to the outside. When the mobile air conditioner is in use, the outdoor air outlet needs to be connected to the outside through an air duct, and the air duct needs to be installed by oneself. After installation, the movement of the mobile air conditioner will be restricted, resulting in inconvenient use of the mobile air conditioner. The heat dissipation air duct of the mobile air conditioner often restricts the flexible movement of the air conditioner body. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve one of the above technical problems. To this end, the present invention provides a mobile air conditioner, including: an air conditioner body, the air conditioner body includes an outdoor air outlet; at least one exhaust fan, the exhaust fan is separately arranged relative to the air conditioner body; wherein, the exhaust fan is used to drive the flow of the gas from the outdoor air outlet.

[0005] The mobile air conditioner provided in this embodiment does not contain an air duct, and realizes the effect of exhausting air outward through the cooperation of the outdoor air outlet and the exhaust fan; in this embodiment, without the connection and restraint of the air duct, the air conditioner body can move flexibly without affecting the exhaust efficiency; at the same time, it avoids the air duct from hindering the user's free movement in the room. In an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile air conditioner further includes a detection component, and the detection component is used to detect whether the relative position between the air conditioner body and the entrance of the air passage is reasonable.

[0006] In this embodiment, a detection component is provided to detect whether the distance and angle between the air conditioner body and the exhaust fan are reasonable, so as to ensure that the air discharged from the outdoor air outlet can be smoothly discharged from the entrance of the air passage, and avoid the influence of the movement of the air conditioner body on the exhaust effect.

[0007] In an embodiment of the present invention, the detection component includes: a distance detection component, and the distance detection component is used to detect whether the relative distance between the air conditioner body and the entrance of the air passage is reasonable.

[0008] In this embodiment, the distance detection component is used to determine whether the relative position between the air conditioner body and the exhaust fan is reasonable, so as to ensure that the hot air of the air conditioner body can be effectively discharged. The reason is that the air outlet speed of the outdoor air outlet and the driving ability of the exhaust fan are both limited. Once the distance between the inlet of the air passage and the outdoor air outlet is too large, the exhaust effect will surely be affected. Therefore, a distance detection component is set to ensure the effective operation of the air conditioner and improve the user experience.

[0009] In an embodiment of the present invention, the distance detection component includes: a first distance detection component, which is arranged on the air conditioner body; a second distance detection component, which is arranged at a position close to the inlet of the air passage; wherein, any one of the first distance detection component and the second distance detection component is a first signal transmitter, and the other is a first signal receiver, and the first signal receiver receives the first signal from the first signal transmitter to detect whether the relative distance is reasonable according to the first signal.

[0010] In this embodiment, a single ranging device may have false reporting situations. For example, when there is an obstacle between the outdoor air outlet and the inlet of the air passage, the ranging may be inaccurate. However, the distance detection component in this embodiment includes a pair of signal transceiver devices, and determines whether the relative distance is reasonable by whether the signal is received. Compared with other ranging devices, the detection method is simple and the detection accuracy is higher.

[0011] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first distance detection component protrudes from the surface of the air conditioner body in an inclined upward direction; and / or the second distance detection component is arranged at a middle position close to the inlet of the air passage.

[0012] In this embodiment, on the one hand, for the design that the first distance detection component protrudes obliquely upward, the signal reception is smoother, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of signal transmission; on the other hand, the second distance detection component is located at the middle position close to the inlet of the air passage, which can better ensure the exhaust effect of the air flow compared with other positions close to the inlet of the air passage.

[0013] In an embodiment of the present invention, the detection component includes: an angle detection component, which is used to detect whether the relative angle between the air conditioner body and the inlet of the air passage is reasonable.

[0014] In this embodiment, an angle detection component is set to limit the angle between the air conditioner body and the inlet of the air passage, avoiding too large an angle deviation between the air flow blown out from the outdoor air outlet and the inlet of the air passage, so as to ensure that the air flow can be aligned with the inlet of the air passage and discharged outdoors through the air passage.

[0015] In an embodiment of the present invention, the angle detection component includes: a first angle detection component disposed on the air conditioner body; a second angle detection component disposed at a position near the entrance of the air passage; wherein, either the first angle detection component or the second angle detection component is a second signal transmitter, and the other is a second signal receiver, and the second signal receiver receives a second signal from the second signal transmitter to detect whether the relative angle is reasonable based on the second signal.

[0016] In this embodiment, the detection of the relative angle is completed by a set of angle detection components, which has high accuracy; at the same time, the angle detection component and the distance detection component are arranged in parallel. In a preferred embodiment, only one signal receiver needs to be set to receive the signals emitted by the first signal transmitter and the second signal transmitter simultaneously, so as to realize the detection of the relative distance and relative angle between the air conditioner body and the entrance of the air passage, further simplifying the specific structure of the detection component and ensuring the judgment of the relative position.

[0017] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first angle detection component protrudes from the surface of the air conditioner body in an inclined upward direction; and / or the second angle detection component is disposed at the middle position of the entrance of the air passage.

[0018] In this embodiment, first, the first angle detection component protrudes upward, making the reception of the signal smoother and ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of signal transmission; second, the second angle detection component is located at the middle position of the entrance of the air passage, which ensures a more appropriate relative angle between the air conditioner body and the entrance of the air passage compared to other positions near the entrance of the air passage, further ensuring the effect of air flow discharge.

[0019] In an embodiment of the present invention, the angle detection component further includes: a light-shielding column sleeved on the periphery of the second signal transmitter, and the light-shielding column is used to limit the emission angle range of the second signal.

[0020] In this embodiment, only the use of the light-shielding column pair can realize the limitation of the relative angle, with a simple structure and convenient installation, and only need to be sleeved around the first detection component.

[0021] In an embodiment of the present invention, the length that the light-shielding column extends relative to the first angle detection component is related to the relative distance between the air conditioner body and the exhaust fan; and / or the length that the light-shielding column extends relative to the first angle detection component is related to the installation position of the entrance of the air passage.

[0022] In this embodiment, the relationship between the relative angle and other components is defined, so that the extended length of the light-shielding column relative to the first angle detection component can be adjusted to adapt to different usage environments. Specifically, the above-mentioned usage environment is the position where the air inlet of the air passage is set.

[0023] In an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile air conditioner further includes: a prompting device, which is used to output a prompt message according to the detection result of the detection component.

[0024] In this embodiment, the prompting device is set to output a prompt message to remind the user to adjust the relative position of the air conditioner body when the detected relative distance or relative angle is inappropriate. Specifically, the prompt message can be sound and light information. Preferably, the above-mentioned prompt message includes voice reminder, warning light reminder, image reminder, buzzer reminder, ringtone reminder or other reminder messages that can play a warning role.

[0025] On the other hand, the present invention provides a control method for a mobile air conditioner. The control method is used for the mobile air conditioner provided in any of the above embodiments. The control method includes: S10: Detect whether the relative position between the air conditioner body and the air inlet of the air passage is reasonable to obtain a detection result; S20: Control the mobile air conditioner according to the detection result.

[0026] The control method provided in this embodiment realizes the monitoring of the relative position between the air conditioner body and the air inlet of the air passage, and at the same time can control the mobile air conditioner according to different results, so that the air conditioner body and the air inlet of the air passage are relatively arranged within a reasonable position and angle range, and from the perspective of control, it is ensured that the air flow can be discharged smoothly.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, S20: Control the mobile air conditioner according to the detection result, including: S21: When the detection result is that the relative position is reasonable, control the mobile air conditioner to operate; and / or S22: When the detection result is that the relative position is unreasonable, control the mobile air conditioner to stop; and / or S23: When the detection result is that the relative position is unreasonable, control the mobile air conditioner to output a prompt message.

[0028] The control method provided in this embodiment can monitor the above relative position in real time and control it according to specific situations. When the detected relative position is unreasonable, on the one hand, control the mobile air conditioner to stop, and on the other hand, a prompt message can be output to remind the user to adjust the above relative position, which improves the control method from multiple perspectives.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the relative position includes a relative distance and a relative angle. Wherein, S10: Detect whether the relative position between the air conditioner body and the inlet of the air passage is reasonable, including: S11: Detect whether the relative distance is reasonable; when the relative distance is reasonable, S12: Detect whether the relative angle is reasonable; wherein, when the relative distance and / or the relative angle is unreasonable, the detection result is that the relative position is unreasonable; when the relative distance and the relative angle are respectively reasonable, the detection result is that the relative position is reasonable.

[0030] In this embodiment, first, it is detected whether the relative distance is reasonable, and second, it is detected whether the relative angle is reasonable. The reason is that in the specific implementation process, the air flow is discharged from the outdoor air outlet 111 to the outside through the inlet 150 of the air passage. When the relative distance exceeds the maximum distance threshold that the air flow can discharge, regardless of whether the relative angle is reasonable, it has no impact on heat dissipation; therefore, this embodiment limits and optimizes the detection sequence of the relative distance and the relative angle; it avoids unnecessary detection processes and simplifies the control.

[0031] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a mobile air conditioner, including a processor, a memory, and a program or instruction stored on the memory and executable on the processor. When the above program or instruction is executed by the processor, the steps of the above control method are implemented.

[0032] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a readable storage medium, on which a program or instruction is stored. When the above program or instruction is executed by a processor, the steps of the above control method are implemented. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0048] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following provides a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Embodiment 1

[0050] Refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a portable air conditioner 100, including: an air conditioner body 110, the air conditioner body 110 includes an outdoor exhaust outlet 111; an exhaust fan 120, the exhaust fan 120 is separately arranged relative to the air conditioner body 110; wherein, the exhaust fan 120 is installed in the air passage connecting the indoor and outdoor, the inlet 150 of the air passage is oppositely arranged with the outdoor exhaust outlet 111 and there is a gap between them, and the exhaust fan 120 is used to drive the air discharged from the outdoor exhaust outlet 111 to be discharged outdoors through the air passage.

[0051] In the related art, a movable air conditioner generally needs to be provided with an air duct, which connects the movable air conditioner and the outdoor environment, and discharges the air flow inside the movable air conditioner to the outside; therefore, during use, the air duct has many restrictions on the movement of the air conditioner. On the other hand, the bending and extrusion of the air duct during movement will also affect the exhaust efficiency.

[0052] Therefore, this embodiment provides a ductless movable air conditioner 100, which includes an air conditioner body 110 and an outdoor air outlet 111. Among them, the air conditioner body 110 includes devices such as a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser. During operation, the air conditioner body 110 performs a heat exchange operation. For example, in the cooling mode, the generated hot air needs to be discharged from the outdoor air outlet 111 out of the air conditioner body 110. The air conditioner body 110 has opposite top and bottom ends. Among them, a side portion is formed between the top and bottom ends, and the position of the outdoor air outlet 111 can be set at the top or the side portion; specifically, it can be designed according to the height of the air conditioner body 110 and combined with the actual use environment.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to achieve heat exchange and air circulation between the indoor and outdoor, the movable air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment further includes an exhaust fan 120, which is used to discharge the air flow blown out of the outdoor air outlet 111 to the outside. Among them, the outdoor air outlet 111 and the exhaust fan 120 are separately arranged. In this embodiment, the exhaust fan 120 is installed in the air passage connecting the indoor and outdoor; the air passage can be a hole structure provided in a wall, a window or a door panel, or a pipe installed on the wall. The inlet 150 of the air passage is arranged opposite to the outdoor air outlet 111, and the air flow of the outdoor air outlet 111 is discharged by driving the exhaust fan 120.

[0054] The movable air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment does not include an air duct, and realizes the exhaust function through the combined setting of the outdoor air outlet 111 and the exhaust fan 120; in the cooling mode of the air conditioner, the discharged is hot air, and in the heating mode, cold air is discharged. In this embodiment, without the connection and restraint of the air duct, the air conditioner body 110 can move flexibly without affecting the exhaust efficiency; at the same time, it also avoids the waste of the use space. Specifically, during the movement of the movable air conditioner, the air duct is stretched, connecting the air conditioner body and the external environment, resulting in the influence on the user's movement space. The movable air conditioner provided in this embodiment effectively avoids the occurrence of the above situation.

[0055] Embodiment 2

[0056] See Figure 1 , on the basis of Embodiment 1, the movable air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment further includes: a detection component 130, and the detection component 130 is used to detect whether the relative position between the air conditioner body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage is reasonable.

[0057] In this embodiment, the relative position between the air conditioner main body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage also affects the exhaust effect. Specifically, under normal usage conditions, the outdoor exhaust port 111 and the inlet 150 of the air passage are arranged opposite to each other, and within a certain distance and angle, a good exhaust effect can be achieved. When the air conditioner main body 110 rotates or moves to a position where the outdoor exhaust port 111 is far from the inlet 150 of the air passage, the discharge of the air flow will be affected.

[0058] Based on the above problems, in this embodiment, a detection component 130 is provided to detect the relative position between the air conditioner main body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage; more specifically, the detection component 130 is used to detect whether the relative position between the outdoor exhaust port 111 and the inlet 150 of the air passage is reasonable. When an unreasonable position is detected, the user is reminded to adjust the position; or a corresponding control program is set to automatically adjust to a suitable position.

[0059] In this embodiment, the relative position between the air conditioner main body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage includes a distance relationship and an angle relationship. The detection component 130 can be a measuring device, which is arranged on the air conditioner main body 110 or near the inlet 150 of the air passage; or, the detection component 130 is a sensing device, including a pair of signal transmitting devices and signal receiving devices, which are respectively arranged on the air conditioner main body 110 and near the inlet 150 of the air passage.

[0060] In this embodiment, a detection component 130 is provided to detect whether the distance and angle between the air conditioner main body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage are reasonable, so as to ensure that the air flow of the outdoor exhaust port 111 can be smoothly discharged from the inlet 150 of the air passage, and the exhaust effect is prevented from being affected due to the movement of the air conditioner main body 110.

[0061] Embodiment 3

[0062] See Figure 2 , on the basis of Embodiment 2, the mobile air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment further includes: a distance detection component 131, and the distance detection component 131 is used to detect whether the relative distance between the air conditioner main body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage is reasonable.

[0063] In this embodiment, the detection component 130 is the distance detection component 131, and the distance detection component 131 can be a pair of signal transmitting devices and signal receiving devices, which are respectively arranged on the air conditioner main body 110 and near the inlet 150 of the air passage; whether the signal receiving device receives the signal of the signal transmitting device is used to judge whether the relative position between the air conditioner main body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage is reasonable.

[0064] As an alternative preferred solution, the distance detection component 131 can also be a ranging device, which measures the distance between the air conditioner main body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air duct by the reflection or interference of light waves, sound waves, and electromagnetic waves, and sets a distance threshold. When the detected actual distance is greater than the distance threshold, it is determined that the relative position is unreasonable, and vice versa. In a specific embodiment, the distance detection component 131 uses radar or Bluetooth for ranging.

[0065] In this embodiment, the distance detection component 131 is used to determine whether the relative position between the air conditioner main body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air duct is reasonable, so as to ensure that the air flow of the air conditioner main body 110 can be effectively discharged. The reason is that the power of the outdoor air outlet 111 and the inlet 150 of the air duct is limited and can only act on the air within a certain distance range. Once the above distance range is exceeded, the exhaust effect will be affected. Therefore, the distance detection component 131 is set to ensure the effective operation of the air conditioner and improve the user experience.

[0066] Embodiment 4

[0067] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Based on Embodiment 3, further, the distance detection component 131 of the mobile air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment includes: a first distance detection component 131a, which is arranged on the air conditioner main body 110; a second distance detection component 131b, which is arranged at a position close to the inlet 150 of the air duct; wherein, either the first distance detection component 131a or the second distance detection component 131b is a first signal transmitter, and the other is a first signal receiver. The first signal receiver receives the first signal from the first signal transmitter to detect whether the relative distance is reasonable according to the first signal.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first distance detection component 131a is arranged on the air conditioner main body 110. Specifically, the first distance detection component 131a is arranged on the housing of the air conditioner main body and close to the outdoor air outlet 111. In a specific embodiment, the first distance detection component 131a is located on the central axis in the vertical direction of the outdoor air outlet 111. The second distance detection component 131b is installed at a position close to the inlet 150 of the air duct, for example, on the wall, door panel, window or other places close to the inlet 150 of the air duct. Among them, the first distance detection component 131a and the second distance detection component 131b correspond to each other, so that the outdoor air outlet 111 and the inlet 150 of the air duct are adapted, further ensuring the smooth discharge of the air flow. On the other hand, the first signal transmitter can emit the first signal within a certain distance range, and the above first signal can be an infrared signal, a radio signal or other signals that can realize short-distance transceiver.

[0069] When using a single ranging device, false alarms may occur. For example, when there is an obstacle between the outdoor air outlet 111 and the inlet 150 of the air passage, the ranging may be inaccurate. However, in this embodiment, the distance detection component 131 includes a pair of signal transceiver devices, and determines whether the relative distance is reasonable by whether a signal is received. Compared with other ranging devices, the detection method is simple and the detection accuracy is higher.

[0070] Embodiment 5

[0071] See Figure 4 , on the basis of Embodiment 4, further, the first distance detection component 131a protrudes from the surface of the air conditioner body 110 in an obliquely upward direction; and / or the second distance detection component 131b is disposed at a middle position near the inlet 150 of the air passage.

[0072] In the specific implementation process, the distance between the inlet 150 of the air passage and the ground is often greater than the distance between the outdoor air outlet 111 and the ground. Therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of signal transmission, the installation angle of the first distance detection component 131a is limited; specifically, the mobile air conditioner 100 is placed on a horizontal ground, where the end close to the ground is the lower end and the end far from the ground is the upper end. The first distance detection component 131a protrudes obliquely upward along the surface of the housing of the air conditioner body 110, so as to ensure that the signal can be received smoothly.

[0073] The second distance detection component 131b is located at the middle position of the inlet 150 of the air passage; when the number of air passages is odd, the above-mentioned middle position is the midline position of the inlet 150 of the middle air passage; when the number of air passages is even, the above-mentioned middle position is the midline position of the connection line of the center points of the inlets 150 of the two middle air passages.

[0074] On the other hand, when the number of air passages is more than two, generally, to ensure the exhaust effect, every two adjacent air passages are arranged at equal intervals, and multiple air passages are arranged in a straight line or a matrix. Further, when multiple air passages are provided, multiple second distance detection components 131b can also be provided; for example, when four horizontally arranged air passages are provided with two second distance detection components 131b, the above two distance detection components 131 are respectively located at the midline positions of the inlets 150 of the two middle air passages.

[0075] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the design of the first distance detection component 131a protruding obliquely upward makes the reception of signals smoother, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of signal transmission; on the other hand, the second distance detection component 131b is located at the middle position of the entrance 150 of the air passage, which can better ensure the effect of air flow discharge compared to other positions closer to the entrance 150 of the air passage.

[0076] Embodiment 6

[0077] See Figure 5 , on the basis of Embodiment 2, the mobile air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment further includes: an angle detection component 132, and the angle detection component 132 is used to detect whether the relative angle between the air conditioner body 110 and the entrance 150 of the air passage is reasonable.

[0078] In this embodiment, if the angle between the air conditioner body 110 and the entrance 150 of the air passage deviates too much, it will cause the air flow to be unable to be discharged smoothly from the entrance 150 of the air passage. In order to ensure the exhaust effect, it is necessary to limit the angle between the air conditioner body 110 and the entrance 150 of the air passage; thus, in this embodiment, the detection component 130 further includes an angle detection component 132 for detecting the relative angle between the air conditioner body 110 and the entrance 150 of the air passage.

[0079] In a specific embodiment, the relative angle between the air conditioner body 110 and the entrance 150 of the air passage is specifically the angle between the outdoor air outlet 111 and the entrance 150 of the air passage; preferably, the angle detection component 132 and the distance detection component 131 are arranged in parallel; more preferably, the angle detection component 132 and the distance detection component are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction.

[0080] In this embodiment, the angle detection component 132 is provided to limit the angle between the air conditioner body 110 and the entrance 150 of the air passage, avoiding too large an angle deviation between the air flow blown out from the outdoor air outlet 111 and the entrance 150 of the air passage, thereby ensuring that the air flow can be aligned with the entrance 150 of the air passage and discharged outdoors through the entrance 150 of the air passage.

[0081] Embodiment 7

[0082] See Figure 5, based on Embodiment 6, the mobile air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment further includes: an angle detection component 132, which includes: a first angle detection component 132a disposed on the air conditioner body 110; a second angle detection component 132b disposed at a position near the inlet 150 of the air passage; wherein, either the first angle detection component 132a or the second angle detection component 132b is a second signal transmitter, and the other is a second signal receiver. The second signal receiver receives the second signal from the second signal transmitter to detect whether the relative angle is reasonable according to the second signal.

[0083] In this embodiment, the second signal transmitter emits signals within a certain angle range, and the second signal receiver determines whether the relative angle between the air conditioner body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage is reasonable by whether it receives the second signal; the above second signal can be an infrared signal, a radio signal, or other signals that can achieve short-distance transmission and reception.

[0084] In a specific embodiment, the first angle detection component 132a is disposed on the housing of the air conditioner body 110 and near the outdoor air outlet 111; preferably, the first angle detection component 132a and the first distance detection component 131a are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, and both are located on the central axis in the vertical direction of the outdoor air outlet 111. At the same time, the second angle detection component 132b and the second distance detection component 131b are arranged side by side at a position near the inlet 150 of the air passage.

[0085] Preferably, in a specific embodiment, the first angle detection component 132a is the second signal transmitter, and at the same time, the first distance detection component 131a is the first signal transmitter; in this embodiment, the second angle detection component 132b and the second distance detection component 131b are the same signal receiver, and this signal receiver is used to receive the signals emitted by the first signal transmitter and the second signal transmitter. Similarly, when the second angle detection component 132b is the second signal transmitter and the second distance detection component 131b is the first signal transmitter; the first angle detection component 132a and the first distance detection component 131a are the same signal receiver.

[0086] In this embodiment, the detection of the relative angle is completed by a set of angle detection components 132, which has high accuracy. At the same time, the angle detection component 132 and the distance detection component 131 are arranged in parallel. In a preferred embodiment, only one signal receiver is required to receive the signals emitted by the first signal transmitter and the second signal transmitter simultaneously, so as to realize the detection of the relative distance and relative angle between the air conditioner body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage, further simplifying the specific structure of the detection component 130 and ensuring the judgment of the relative position.

[0088] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 , on the basis of Embodiment 7, further, the first angle detection component 132a protrudes from the surface of the air conditioner body 110 in an inclined upward direction; and / or the second angle detection component 132b is arranged at the middle position near the inlet 150 of the air passage.

[0089] In this embodiment, similar to the first distance detection component 131a, the first angle detection component 132a protrudes obliquely upward along the surface of the housing of the air conditioner body 110, so as to ensure that the signal can be received smoothly.

[0090] On the other hand, the second angle detection component 132b is arranged at the middle position of the inlet 150 of the air passage, and the above-mentioned middle position varies according to the number of exhaust fans. When multiple inlets 150 of the air passage are provided, they are generally arranged at equal intervals, and the multiple inlets 150 of the air passage are arranged in a straight line. At this time, if the number of inlets 150 of the air passage is odd, the above-mentioned middle position is the midline position of the middle inlet 150 of the air passage; if the number of inlets 150 of the air passage is even, the above-mentioned middle position is the midline position of the connection line of the center points of the two middle inlets 150 of the air passage. Further, when multiple inlets 150 of the air passage are arranged in a matrix, the above-mentioned middle position is the midline position in the horizontal or vertical direction of the matrix. Further, multiple second angle detection components 132b can also be provided.

[0091] In this embodiment, first, the first angle detection component 132a protrudes upward, making the reception of the signal smoother and ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of signal transmission. Secondly, the second angle detection component 132b is located at the middle position of the inlet 150 of the air passage, which ensures that the relative angle between the air conditioner body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage is more appropriate compared to other positions near the inlet 150 of the air passage, further ensuring the effect of air flow discharge.

[0092] Embodiment 9

[0093] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 The mobile air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment is based on embodiment 7. Further, the angle detection component 132 also includes: a light-shielding column 133, which is arranged on the periphery of the second signal transmitter and is used to limit the emission angle range of the second signal.

[0094] In this embodiment, in order to limit the emission angle range of the second signal, a light-shielding column 133 is arranged around the second signal transmitter; the light-shielding column 133 is a hollow columnar structure and protrudes outward along the shell of the air-conditioning body 110, and the range of the second signal emission angle is limited by the opening size of the light-shielding column 133.

[0095] In this embodiment, only the pair of light-shielding columns 133 are needed to limit the relative angle. The structure is simple and the installation is convenient. The light-shielding columns 133 only need to be arranged around the first detection component 130 .

[0096] Example 10

[0097] See also Figure 8 and Figure 9 The mobile air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment is based on Example 9, and further, the length of the light-shielding column 133 extending relative to the first angle detection component 132a is related to the relative distance between the air conditioner body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage; and / or the length of the light-shielding column 133 extending relative to the first angle detection component 132a is related to the setting position of the inlet 150 of the air passage.

[0098] In this embodiment, the relative angle α can be defined by the length of the light-shielding column 133 extending relative to the first angle detection component 132a or the size of the opening of the light-shielding column 133. Specifically, the length of the light-shielding column 133 extending relative to the first angle detection component 132a is l, and the size of the opening of the light-shielding column 133 is d.

[0099] In a specific embodiment, three air channel inlets 150 are arranged at equal intervals, the distance between two adjacent air channel inlets 150 is Y, and the relative distance between the air channel inlet 150 and the air conditioner body 110 is X; preferably, the value range of α is The proportional size of the light shielding column 133 can be obtained according to the set relative distance X and the distance Y between two adjacent exhaust fans.

[0100] In this embodiment, the relationship between the relative angle α and other components is defined, so that by adjusting the protruding length of the light-shielding column 133 relative to the first angle detection component 132a, different usage environments can be adapted. Specifically, the above-mentioned usage environment is the position where the inlet 150 of the air passage is set.

[0101] Embodiment 11

[0102] Referring to Figure 10 , on the basis of the above embodiment, the mobile air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment further includes: a prompting device 140, and the prompting device 140 is used to output a prompt message according to the detection result of the detection component 130.

[0103] In this embodiment, the prompting device 140 is set to output a prompt message, and in the case of detecting that the relative distance or the relative angle is inappropriate, the user is reminded to adjust the relative position of the air conditioner body 110; specifically, the prompt message can be a sound and light message; preferably, the above-mentioned prompt message includes voice reminder, warning light reminder, image reminder, buzzer reminder, ringtone reminder or other prompt messages that can play a warning role.

[0104] Embodiment 12

[0105] Referring to Figure 11 , this embodiment provides a control method for a mobile air conditioner, and the control method is used for the mobile air conditioner provided in any of the above embodiments. The control method includes:

[0106] S10: Detect whether the relative position between the air conditioner body and the inlet 150 of the air passage is reasonable to obtain a detection result;

[0107] S20: Control the mobile air conditioner according to the detection result.

[0108] This embodiment relates to a control method, which controls the mobile air conditioner according to the detected relative position through preset conditions and instructions; specifically, the relative position includes the relative distance and relative angle between the air conditioner body 110 and the exhaust fan 120. In a specific embodiment, the distance detection component 131 includes a first signal transmitter and a first signal receiver; similarly, the angle detection component 132 includes a second signal transmitter and a second signal receiver; at this time, the detection result is whether a signal is received, and if a signal is received, it is determined that the relative position is reasonable, otherwise it is unreasonable. In a specific embodiment, the distance detection component 131 includes a ranging device, and the detection result is the distance parameter between the air conditioner body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage. The above distance parameter is compared with a preset distance threshold. If the distance parameter is greater than the distance threshold, it is determined to be unreasonable, otherwise it is reasonable.

[0109] The control method provided in this embodiment realizes the monitoring of the relative position between the air conditioner main body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage, and at the same time, the mobile air conditioner can be controlled according to different results, so that the air conditioner main body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage are relatively arranged within a reasonable position and angle range, and from the perspective of control, it is ensured that the air flow can be discharged smoothly.

[0110] Embodiment 13

[0111] See Figure 11 , on the basis of Embodiment 12, further, S20: According to the detection result, control the mobile air conditioner, including:

[0112] S21: When the detection result is that the relative position is reasonable, control the mobile air conditioner to operate; and / or

[0113] S22: When the detection result is that the relative position is unreasonable, control the mobile air conditioner to stop; and / or

[0114] S23: When the detection result is that the relative position is unreasonable, control the mobile air conditioner to output a prompt message.

[0115] In this embodiment, if the detection result is that the relative position is reasonable, it means that the hot air from the outdoor air outlet 111 can be discharged smoothly; otherwise, it means that the heat dissipation effect is affected; the control method provided in this embodiment can control the mobile air conditioner according to different detection results.

[0116] The detection component 130 can detect the relative position between the air conditioner main body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage in real time, and control the mobile air conditioner 100 according to the detection result. Specifically, when the detection result is that the relative position is reasonable, if the mobile air conditioner 100 is in the operating state, maintain this operating state and all components continue to work; if the mobile air conditioner 100 is in the stopped state, adjust the mobile air conditioner 100 to the operating state. On the other hand, when the detection result is that the relative position is unreasonable, if the mobile air conditioner 100 is in the operating state, control the mobile air conditioner 100 to stop; if the mobile air conditioner 100 is in the stopped state, maintain this stopped state.

[0117] In a specific embodiment, when the detection result indicates that the relative position is unreasonable, the mobile air conditioner 100 is controlled to output a prompt message to remind the user to adjust the relative position between the air conditioner body 110 and the inlet 150 of the air passage. While outputting the prompt message, the mobile air conditioner is controlled to stop. In a specific embodiment, during the operation of the mobile air conditioner, when the detected result is that the relative position is unreasonable, the mobile air conditioner is maintained in the operating state, and the mobile air conditioner 100 is controlled to output a prompt message and set a reminder time t. If the detected result after t time is still that the relative position is unreasonable, the mobile air conditioner is adjusted to stop. Preferably, the t time can be 1 minute, 3 minutes or 5 minutes. Setting the t time can provide the user with time for reaction and operation, avoiding the operations of stopping and running the mobile air conditioner successively in a short period of time, thereby ensuring the service life of the mobile air conditioner.

[0118] The control method provided in this embodiment can monitor the above relative position in real time and perform control according to specific situations. When it is detected that the relative position is unreasonable, on the one hand, the mobile air conditioner is controlled to stop, and on the other hand, a prompt message can be output to remind the user to adjust the above relative position, improving the control method from multiple perspectives.

[0119] Embodiment 14

[0120] See Figure 11 , on the basis of Embodiment 12 and Embodiment 13, further, the relative position includes a relative distance and a relative angle. Among them, S10: Detect whether the relative position between the air conditioner body and the inlet 150 of the air passage is reasonable, including:

[0121] S11: Detect whether the relative distance is reasonable;

[0122] When the relative distance is reasonable,

[0123] S12: Detect whether the relative angle is reasonable;

[0124] Among them, when the relative distance and / or the relative angle is unreasonable, the detection result is that the relative position is unreasonable; when the relative distance and the relative angle are respectively reasonable, the detection result is that the relative position is reasonable.

[0125] In this embodiment, first, the relative distance is detected whether it is reasonable, and second, the relative angle is detected whether it is reasonable. The reason is that: in the specific implementation process, the air flow is discharged from the outdoor air outlet 111 to the outside through the inlet 150 of the air passage. When the relative distance exceeds the maximum distance threshold that the air flow can discharge, regardless of whether the relative angle is reasonable, it has no impact on heat dissipation. Therefore, this embodiment limits and optimizes the detection sequence of the relative distance and the relative angle; avoiding unnecessary detection processes and simplifying the control.
