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, an air conditioner and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, air conditioners have become common household appliances in life and work. The air blown by a conventional air conditioner is air after heat exchange. Generally, the air is too cold or too hot, which makes users feel uncomfortable. In order to adjust the indoor temperature without making users feel too cold or too hot, some intelligent air conditioners adopt air uniformization technology. The air uniformization technology is to introduce indoor air and mix it with the air after heat exchange before the air after heat exchange is blown out by the air conditioner, so that the temperature of the air finally blown out by the air conditioner is not too cold or too hot.

[0003] The existing multi-air duct air conditioner cabinet comprises a shell, a main air duct, a first flow guide air duct and a second flow guide air duct are arranged in the shell, a main air duct air outlet communicating with the main air duct is formed on the shell, a first flow guide air duct air inlet communicating with the first flow guide air duct and a second flow guide air duct air inlet communicating with the second flow guide air duct are also formed on the shell, and air outlets of the first flow guide air duct and the second flow guide air duct are respectively located on an air duct wall of the main air duct. A flow guide fan is arranged in the first flow guide air duct near the first flow guide air duct air inlet and in the second flow guide air duct near the second flow guide air duct air inlet.

[0004] The air conditioner described above adjusts the temperature of the air blown out by the air conditioner by adding a flow guide air duct in the air conditioner. The air sucked from the flow guide air duct mixes with the air in the main air duct, so as to adjust the temperature of the air blown out by the air conditioner. However, the air uniformization of the flow guide air duct is either passively dependent on the air suction of the air outlet of the main air duct or dependent on the air suction of the flow guide fan in the flow guide air duct. The amount of air suction, that is, the degree of air uniformization, is fixed. The degree of air uniformization cannot meet the needs of users well. SUMMARY

[0038] The term "and / or" is a description of association relationship of objects, which means that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B three relationships.

[0039] The term "corresponding" can refer to an association or binding relationship. A and B correspond to each other means that there is an association or binding relationship between A and B.

[0040] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an air conditioner, which is a vertical air conditioner. In combination with Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the drawings, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a shell 10, and an internal air supply structure is arranged in the air conditioner. The internal air supply structure can include a first air supply structure 20 and a second air supply structure 30. The side of the shell 10 is provided with a wind drum 50, and the wind drum 50 is in communication with the first air supply structure 20 and can receive the airflow delivered by the first air supply structure 20. The side of the shell 10 is also provided with a third air supply structure 40.

[0041] The first air supply structure 20 is located below the second air supply structure 30. In combination with Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the first air supply structure 20 includes a first air duct 21, a first air fan 22, and a first heat exchanger 23. The first air duct 21 is located in the lower half of the shell 10. The first air fan 22 and the first heat exchanger 23 are arranged in the first air duct 21. On the shell 10, a first air inlet 11 of the air conditioner is arranged corresponding to the position of the first air fan 22. In combination with Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the drawings, one end of the wind drum 50 is provided with an air inlet, and the air inlet of the wind drum 50 is in communication with the outlet of the first air duct 21. The side wall of the wind drum 50 is provided with an air outlet, and the air outlet of the wind drum 50 is in communication with the indoor. The air outlet of the wind drum 50 is the first air outlet 12 of the air conditioner. After the first air supply structure 20 is turned on, indoor air is sucked into the first air duct 21 through the first air inlet 11. The air can be heated or not heated according to actual needs. Then the airflow after heating or the natural airflow without heating is delivered to the wind drum 50. The wind drum 50 delivers the heated air or natural air to the indoor through the air outlet of the wind drum 50. Optionally, the wind drum 50 is two, which are arranged on both sides of the shell 10, and both of the two wind drums 50 are in communication with the first air duct 21. The first air duct 21 delivers airflow to the two wind drums 50, respectively. Optionally, in combination with Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2As shown, the first air blower 22 comprises a volute 221 and a centrifugal fan 222. The centrifugal fan 222 is arranged in the volute 221. A deflectable air distribution plate 24 is arranged at the middle of the air outlet of the volute 221 to divide the air outlet of the first air blower 22 into two air outlet areas with similar areas. The two air outlet areas correspond to the two air ducts 50 respectively. When the air distribution plate 24 is not deflected, the air distribution plate 24 is in a vertical state, which is also the original state of the air distribution plate 24. When the air distribution plate 24 is in the original state, the air outlet areas have the same air volume, and the first air duct 21 delivers the same air volume to the two air ducts 50. When the air distribution plate 24 is deflected to one side, for example, as shown in Figure 5-1 When the air distribution plate 24 is deflected to the right, the right air outlet area is blocked. Therefore, the air volume in the right air duct 50 corresponding to the right air outlet area is reduced. At the same time, the left air outlet area is less blocked, so the air volume in the left air duct 50 corresponding to the left air outlet area is increased. The first heat exchanger 23 is a V-shaped heat exchanger and is arranged above the first air blower 22.

[0042] The air duct 50 is rotatably connected to the shell 10. When the air duct 50 is rotated to different positions, the air outlet of the air duct 50 faces different directions.

[0043] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the shell 10 is further provided with a fresh air inlet 13 for introducing outdoor fresh air. Optionally, the fresh air inlet 13 is in communication with the first air duct 21.

[0044] As shown in Figure 6 The second air supply structure 30 comprises a second air duct 31, a second air blower 32 and a second heat exchanger 33. The second air duct 31 is arranged in the upper half of the shell 10. The second air blower 32 and the second heat exchanger 33 are arranged in the second air duct 31. On the shell 10, corresponding to the two ends of the second air duct 31, the second air inlet 14 and the second air outlet 15 of the air conditioner are arranged respectively. After the second air supply structure 30 is turned on, indoor air is sucked into the second air duct 31 through the second air inlet 14 of the air conditioner. The air can be heat exchanged or not heat exchanged according to actual needs. Then the air flow after heat exchange or the natural air flow without heat exchange is delivered to the outside of the air conditioner through the second air outlet 15 of the air conditioner. Optionally, the second air duct 31 penetrates the shell 10 in the transverse direction. The second air blower 32 is a cross-flow air blower. Along the direction from the second air inlet 14 of the air conditioner to the second air outlet 15 of the air conditioner, the second heat exchanger 33 and the second air blower 32 are arranged in the second air duct 31 in sequence. Since the internal air supply structure comprises the first air supply structure 20 and the second air supply structure 30, the air blower of the internal air supply structure comprises the first air blower 22 and the second air blower 32, and the heat exchanger of the internal air supply structure comprises the first heat exchanger 23 and the second heat exchanger 33.

[0045] A third air supply structure 40 is also provided on the side of the housing 10. The third air supply structure 40 includes a third air duct 41. The inlet and outlet of the third air duct 41 are both connected to the indoor environment. The inlet of the third air duct 41 is the third air inlet of the air conditioner. The outlet of the third air duct 41 is the third air outlet of the air conditioner. There may be one or two third air supply structures 40. When there is one third air supply structure 40, it is located on one side of any one of the air ducts 50. When there are two third air supply structures 40, they are located on both sides of the housing 10. The air duct 50 is located on one side of the third air supply structure 40 located on the same side as it. The third air outlet of the air conditioner is located between the second air outlet 15 of the air conditioner and the air duct 50. Optionally, the third air supply structure 40 may also include a baffle 42 with an arc-shaped surface. The gap between the inner wall of the baffle 42 and the outer wall of the air duct 50 forms the third air duct 41. Figure 6 As shown, the cross-section of the ventilation duct 50 is spindle-shaped. Thus, combined with... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the distance d between the outer wall of the air duct 50 and the inner wall of the third air duct 41 varies when the air duct 50 rotates to different positions. d has a maximum value of d0. max and minimum value d min .

[0046] When the first fan 22 and / or the second fan 32 are running, air will be discharged from the first air outlet 12 and / or the second air outlet 15 of the air conditioner. Under the negative pressure generated by the air discharged from the first air outlet 12 and / or the second air outlet 15, indoor air enters through the inlet of the third air duct 41 and then flows out through the outlet of the third air duct 41. This air then mixes with the air discharged from the first air outlet 12 and / or the second air outlet 15, thereby regulating the temperature of the air discharged from the first air outlet 12 and / or the second air outlet 15, ensuring that the overall temperature of the air discharged from the air conditioner is neither too cold nor too hot.

[0047] After the air conditioner is turned on, the opening and closing of the first fan 22, the first heat exchanger 23, the second fan 32 and the second heat exchanger 33 can be controlled according to actual needs. The rotation position of the air duct 50 can also be controlled to achieve different degrees of uniform airflow.

[0048] Combination Figure 9 As shown in the figure, this disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0049] S91, the air conditioner obtains the current indoor temperature.

[0050] S92, the air conditioner determines the target on / off state of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure based on the indoor temperature.

[0051] S93, the air conditioner controls the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure to operate according to the corresponding target switch states.

[0052] The air conditioner obtains the current indoor temperature through the temperature sensor thereof or the temperature sensor arranged in the indoor. According to the current indoor temperature, the target switch states of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure are determined. As known from the foregoing, the first air supply structure comprises the first fan and the first heat exchanger, and thus the switch states of the first air supply structure comprise the switch states of the first fan and the first heat exchanger. The second air supply structure comprises the second fan and the second heat exchanger, and thus the switch states of the second air supply structure comprise the switch states of the second fan and the second heat exchanger. Therefore, determining the target switch states of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure specifically comprises determining the switch states of the first fan, the first heat exchanger, the second fan and the second heat exchanger. After the target states are determined, the first fan, the first heat exchanger, the second fan and the second heat exchanger are controlled to operate according to the corresponding target switch states, so as to realize different degrees of air uniformization.

[0053] The air uniformization forms generated by different switch states of the first fan, the first heat exchanger, the second fan and the second heat exchanger are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, for the fan and the heat exchanger, “●” represents opening, and “○” represents closing; for air uniformization, “●” represents existence, and “○” represents nonexistence.

[0054]

[0055] Table 1

[0056] The air uniformization refers to uniform natural air (air not exchanged by the heat exchanger). The passive air uniformization refers to that the third air duct introduces and transports the indoor air to the outside of the air conditioner and mixes with the air discharged from the first air outlet or the second air outlet under the action of the negative pressure generated by the air discharged from the first air outlet and / or the second air outlet of the air conditioner. The active air uniformization refers to that the indoor air is actively introduced and transported to the outside of the air conditioner by the first fan or the second fan under the condition that the first fan is opened and the first heat exchanger is closed, or the second fan is opened and the second heat exchanger is closed, and the indoor air mixes with the air discharged from other air outlets of the air conditioner. When d = d min , the third air duct is the minimum value, at this time, it can be considered that there is no passive air uniformization, and only active air uniformization exists. At this time, the air uniformization effect of the air conditioner is also the worst.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the target switch states of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure are determined based on the indoor temperature, so as to realize different degrees of air uniformization and maximize the satisfaction of the user's demand. The air discharged from the air conditioner is cool but not cold, and hot but not dry, and the comfort of the user is improved.

[0058] Optionally, S92, the air conditioner determines the target switch state of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure according to the indoor temperature, including:

[0059] The air conditioner determines the cold and hot degree of the indoor according to the indoor temperature.

[0060] The air conditioner determines the heat exchange speed level of the air conditioner according to the cold and hot degree of the indoor.

[0061] The air conditioner determines the target switch state of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure according to the heat exchange speed level thereof.

[0062] The higher the indoor temperature, the higher the indoor heat degree, and the higher the heat exchange speed level of the air conditioner. The lower the indoor temperature, the higher the indoor cold degree, and the higher the heat exchange speed level of the air conditioner. According to the corresponding relationship between the indoor temperature, the cold and hot degree, and the heat exchange speed level, the cold and hot degree corresponding to the current indoor temperature is determined, so as to determine the heat exchange speed level of the air conditioner corresponding to the current indoor cold and hot degree. Exemplarily, the corresponding relationship between the temperature, the cold and hot degree, and the heat exchange speed level is shown in Table 2. It should be noted that the corresponding relationship shown in Table 2 can be adjusted according to actual conditions or needs.

[0063]

[0064]

[0065] Table 2

[0066] According to the corresponding relationship between the heat exchange speed level of the air conditioner and the first fan, the first heat exchanger, the second fan, and the second heat exchanger, the target switch state of the first fan, the first heat exchanger, the second fan, and the second heat exchanger corresponding to the current heat exchange speed level of the air conditioner is determined. Specifically:

[0067] In the case that the heat exchange speed level of the air conditioner is high, it means that the indoor temperature is too high or too low, and the heat exchange needs to be performed as soon as possible. Then, the target switch state of the first fan, the first heat exchanger, the second fan, and the second heat exchanger is determined as the open state. At this time, the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure are opened at the same time, which can maximize the heat exchange of the indoor air. At this time, since the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are both opened, only passive uniform air exists.

[0068] In the case that the air-conditioning heat exchange speed level is medium, it indicates that the indoor temperature is relatively high or low, and the heat exchange speed does not need to be too fast. The target switch states of the first fan and the second fan are determined to be the open state, and the target switch states of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are determined to be one open state and the other closed state. In this way, only one heat exchanger is open, and the heat exchange temperature is reduced, thereby reducing the heat exchange speed to a certain extent. At this time, since one of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger is closed, there is passive uniform wind and active uniform wind.

[0069] In the case that the air-conditioning heat exchange speed level is low, it indicates that the indoor temperature is slightly high or low. The heat exchange speed is low. The target switch states of the first fan and the first heat exchanger are determined to be the open state, and the target switch states of the second fan and the second heat exchanger are determined to be the closed state. Alternatively, the target switch states of the first fan and the first heat exchanger are determined to be the closed state, and the target switch states of the second fan and the second heat exchanger are determined to be the open state. That is, only one group of the fan heat exchanger is open in the two groups of fan heat exchangers. The heat exchange temperature and the heat exchange wind speed are reduced, so as to further reduce the heat exchange speed. At this time, only passive uniform wind exists.

[0070] In this way, based on the current indoor temperature, the switch states of the first fan, the first heat exchanger, the second fan and the second heat exchanger are adjusted, different heat exchange speed levels are matched, and different degrees of uniform wind are realized. The experience of the user is optimized.

[0071] Optionally, the air conditioner can be provided with the first air supply structure, the second air supply structure, the third air supply structure and the air duct. Alternatively, only any two of the first air supply structure, the second air supply structure and the third air supply structure can be provided. When the first air supply structure is provided, the air duct also needs to be provided. When the third air supply structure is provided, the air duct also needs to be provided.

[0072] Optionally, the air conditioner is provided with the first air supply structure, the second air supply structure and the air duct. Meanwhile, the air conditioner is provided with the third air supply structure or is not provided with the third air supply structure. In combination Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, which comprises the following steps:

[0073] In S101, the air conditioner determines a target air supply demand according to indoor information.

[0074] In S102, the air conditioner controls the running states of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure according to the target air supply demand, so as to realize different degrees of uniform wind.

[0075] The air conditioner obtains indoor information through a sensor, such as obtaining indoor temperature through a temperature sensor, or obtaining an air conditioner use scene through a camera, or detecting a user's heart rate through a heart rate sensor to obtain a user's sleep state in the room, and the like. According to the obtained indoor information, a target air supply requirement is determined. Optionally, the target air supply requirement includes an air conditioner heat exchange speed level and an air conditioner air supply mode. Different indoor information corresponds to different target air supply requirements. According to the determined target air supply requirement, the operating state of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure is controlled, that is, the on-off state of the first fan, the first heat exchanger, the second fan and the second heat exchanger is controlled. As described above, when the on-off state of the first fan, the first heat exchanger, the second fan and the second heat exchanger is different, different degrees of uniform air supply are formed.

[0076] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the target air supply requirement is determined based on the indoor information. Then, the operating state of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure is controlled based on the target air supply requirement, so that different degrees of uniform air supply are realized, and the user's demand is met to the greatest extent. The air conditioner makes the air out of the air conditioner body cool but not cold, hot but not dry, and improves the user's comfort.

[0077] Optionally, in S101, the air conditioner determines a target air supply requirement according to indoor information, including:

[0078] The air conditioner determines the cold and hot degree of the room according to the indoor temperature.

[0079] The air conditioner determines the air conditioner heat exchange speed level according to the cold and hot degree of the room.

[0080] The higher the indoor temperature, the higher the indoor heat degree, and the higher the air conditioner heat exchange speed level. The lower the indoor temperature, the higher the indoor cold degree, and the higher the air conditioner heat exchange speed level. According to the corresponding relationship between the indoor temperature, the cold and hot degree and the heat exchange speed level, the cold and hot degree corresponding to the current indoor temperature is determined, so that the air conditioner heat exchange speed level corresponding to the current indoor cold and hot degree is determined. Exemplarily, the corresponding relationship between the temperature, the cold and hot degree and the heat exchange speed level is shown in Table 2. In this way, the indoor cold and hot degree is classified based on the indoor temperature, and then the air conditioner heat exchange speed is classified, so that the appropriate air conditioner heat exchange speed is matched. The accurate determination of the air conditioner heat exchange speed level is realized, which provides a basis for the subsequent accurate control of the operating state of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure.

[0081] Optionally, in S102, the air conditioner controls the operating state of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure according to the target air supply requirement, including:

[0082] The air conditioner determines the operating state of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure corresponding to the current air conditioner heat exchange speed level according to the corresponding relationship between the air conditioner heat exchange speed level and the air supply structure.

[0083] The air conditioning heat exchange speed level has a corresponding relationship with the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure, that is, the air conditioning heat exchange speed level has a corresponding relationship with the switch states of the first fan, the first heat exchanger, the second fan and the second heat exchanger. The air conditioning heat exchange speed level includes high, medium and low. For specific corresponding relationship, please refer to the foregoing, which will not be described here. According to the corresponding relationship, the switch states of the first fan, the first heat exchanger, the second fan and the second heat exchanger corresponding to the required air conditioning heat exchange speed level are determined. In this way, through the corresponding relationship, the running states of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure matched with the air conditioning heat exchange speed level are obtained. Thus, the control of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure is more accurate, the target air supply demand is met, and energy waste is avoided.

[0084] Optionally, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0085] The air conditioner determines the cold and hot degree of the indoor according to the indoor temperature.

[0086] The air conditioner determines the air conditioning heat exchange speed level according to the cold and hot degree of the indoor.

[0087] The air conditioner determines the air supply mode of the air conditioner according to the indoor temperature, user information or air conditioner use scenario.

[0088] The air conditioner controls the running states of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure according to the heat exchange speed level to achieve different degrees of uniform air supply, and controls the orientation of the air duct outlet according to the air supply mode of the air conditioner.

[0089] In the case of determining the air conditioning heat exchange speed level according to the indoor temperature described in the foregoing, the air supply mode can also be determined according to the indoor temperature, user information or air conditioner use scenario. The indoor temperature and the air conditioner use scenario are different, and different requirements are required for the speed of adjusting the indoor temperature. The speed of adjusting the indoor temperature is related to the air supply mode of the air conditioner. Therefore, when determining the target air supply demand according to the indoor information, the target air supply mode of the air conditioner can also be determined according to the indoor temperature or the air conditioner use scenario.

[0090] The space where the air conditioner is located is large, for example, when the air conditioner is in the living room, the air supply distance cannot meet the requirements of the space, and the air supply mode is the aggregation long-distance direct blowing mode. In this air supply mode, the air outlet of the air conditioner is aggregated in a certain direction, so that the air supply distance is farther. In the case that the indoor temperature is too high or too low and heat exchange needs to be performed as soon as possible, the air supply mode is the wide-angle full-area mode. In this air supply mode, the air outlet coverage of the air conditioner is large, and the room can be quickly cooled or warmed. In the case that the indoor user information indicates that the indoor crowd is dispersed, the air supply mode is the wall-attached surrounding mode. In this air supply mode, the air outlet coverage of the air conditioner is larger than that of the wide-angle full-area mode, and the air outlet directly attaches to the wall to achieve surrounding air supply. In the case that the indoor user information indicates that the users are concentrated on one side of the air conditioner and the users do not want the air outlet of the air conditioner to directly blow on their bodies, the air supply mode is the biased air supply mode. In this air supply mode, the air outlet of the air conditioner is biased to the opposite side of the user concentration, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner does not directly blow on the users. The biased air supply mode can be right-biased air supply or left-biased air supply, which is determined according to the user concentration position. Since the position of the second air outlet of the air conditioner is fixed and the air duct is rotatable, that is, the orientation of the first air outlet (the air outlet of the air duct) of the air conditioner is variable, the air supply mode is adjusted by adjusting the orientation of the air outlet of the air duct. After the air supply mode is determined, the air supply mode is changed by controlling the orientation of the air outlet of the air duct.

[0091] In this way, according to the indoor temperature, the user information or the air conditioner use scene, the air supply mode of the air conditioner is determined, which can make the air supply of the air conditioner match various information, so that the air supply of the air conditioner is more diversified and more humanized.

[0092] Optionally, the air conditioner controls the orientation of the air outlet of the air duct according to the air supply mode of the air conditioner, specifically: the aggregation long-distance direct blowing mode requires that the air outlet of the air conditioner is aggregated in a certain direction. Since the position of the second air outlet of the air conditioner is fixed, but the orientation of the first air outlet (the air outlet of the air duct) of the air conditioner is variable, the air outlet of the air conditioner can only be aggregated in the air outlet direction of the second air outlet of the air conditioner. In combination with FIG. 1, in the case that the air supply mode is the aggregation long-distance direct blowing mode, the orientation of the air outlet of the air duct is controlled to be the air outlet position of the second air supply structure, that is, the air outlet position of the second air outlet of the air conditioner, so that the air outlet of the air duct is aggregated in the air outlet direction of the second air outlet of the air conditioner. Figure 11 In combination with FIG. 1, in the case that the air supply mode is the wide-angle full-area mode, the orientation of the air outlet of the air duct is controlled to be away from the air outlet position of the second air supply structure, that is, away from the air outlet position of the second air outlet of the air conditioner. Figure 12 In combination with FIG. 1, in the case that the air supply mode is the wall-attached surrounding mode, the orientation of the air outlet of the air duct is controlled to be the air outlet position of the second air supply structure, that is, the air outlet position of the second air outlet of the air conditioner. Figure 13In the wall-attached mode, the air outlet of the air duct is controlled to face away from the air outlet direction of the second air supply structure, i.e., the air outlet direction of the second air outlet of the air conditioner. In the wide-angle mode, the included angle between the air outlet direction of the air duct and the air outlet direction of the second air supply structure is a first included angle. In the wall-attached mode, the included angle between the air outlet direction of the air duct and the air outlet direction of the second air supply structure is a second included angle. The second included angle is greater than or equal to the first included angle, so that the air outlet coverage area in the wall-attached mode is greater than that in the wide-angle mode. Optionally, the first included angle is 0°-90°. The second included angle is 90°.

[0093] Optionally, the air supply mode of the air conditioner further includes a direct blowing mode. In the direct blowing mode, the air outlet directions of the first air outlet and the second air outlet of the air conditioner are both the front direction of the air conditioner. The direct blowing mode refers to air blowing directly out of the air conditioner, specifically, when the air outlet direction of the air duct is the same as the air outlet direction of the first air outlet or the second air outlet of the air conditioner, the air outlet direction of the air duct and the air outlet direction of the first air outlet or the second air outlet are both toward the front direction of the air conditioner. In combination with the above description of the air supply mode of the air conditioner, the air supply mode of the air conditioner includes the wall-attached mode, the wide-angle mode, and the direct blowing mode. Figure 7 In the direct blowing mode, the air outlet direction of the air duct is controlled to be the same as the air outlet direction of the second air outlet of the air conditioner. The user can select the direct blowing mode according to his or her preferences. Optionally, the air supply mode of the air conditioner further includes a bias air supply mode. When the indoor users are concentrated on one side of the air conditioner and the user does not want the air outlet of the air conditioner to blow directly on the body, the air outlet of the air conditioner is controlled to be biased to the opposite side of the user concentration. For example, Figure 8 If the user is concentrated on the right side of the air conditioner, the air outlet direction of the air duct is controlled to be toward the left side. Conversely, if the user is concentrated on the left side of the air conditioner, the air outlet direction of the air duct is controlled to be toward the right side. It can be understood that if the user is concentrated on one side of the air conditioner and the user wants the air outlet of the air conditioner to blow directly on the body, the air outlet of the air conditioner is controlled to be biased to the side where the user is concentrated, i.e., the air outlet direction of the air duct is controlled to be toward the side where the user is concentrated. In this way, based on the rotatability of the air duct, different air supply modes are realized by controlling the air outlet direction of the air duct. Different air supply modes can match different indoor situations, thereby meeting different needs.

[0094] Optionally, the air supply mode of the air conditioner further includes a direct blowing mode. In the direct blowing mode, the air outlet directions of the first air outlet and the second air outlet of the air conditioner are both the front direction of the air conditioner. The direct blowing mode refers to air blowing directly out of the air conditioner, specifically, when the air outlet direction of the air duct is the same as the air outlet direction of the first air outlet or the second air outlet of the air conditioner, the air outlet direction of the air duct and the air outlet direction of the first air outlet or the second air outlet are both toward the front direction of the air conditioner. In combination with the above description of the air supply mode of the air conditioner, the air supply mode of the air conditioner includes the wall-attached mode, the wide-angle mode, and the direct blowing mode.

[0095] The air conditioner determines the heat exchange speed level of the air conditioner according to the sleep state of the indoor user.

[0096] The air conditioner controls the operating state of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure according to the heat exchange speed level, to realize different degrees of uniform air supply.

[0097] The user's sleep state is different, and the demand for indoor temperature is also different. The user's sleep state includes not sleeping and after sleeping. The sleep state has a corresponding relationship with the air conditioner heat exchange speed level. When not sleeping, the human body temperature is relatively high. If the air conditioner runs in cooling mode, the running temperature can be lower. If the air conditioner runs in heating mode, the running temperature can be higher. That is, the air conditioner heat exchange is relatively fast, and the heat exchange speed level is high or medium. After sleeping, the human body temperature is relatively low. If the air conditioner runs in cooling mode, the running temperature can be higher. If the air conditioner runs in heating mode, the running temperature can be lower. That is, the air conditioner heat exchange is relatively slow, and the heat exchange speed level is low. The specific implementation process of controlling the running state of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure according to the heat exchange speed level can be referred to in the foregoing, and will not be described here. Optionally, after the user falls asleep, whether active uniform wind needs to be performed is automatically selected according to the human body surface temperature. It should be noted that active uniform wind means that in any one group of fan heat exchangers, only the fan is turned on, and the heat exchanger is turned off. Optionally, a body temperature threshold is set. In the case that the human body surface temperature is greater than the body temperature threshold, one group of fan heat exchangers is controlled to be turned on, and the fan of the other group of fan heat exchangers is controlled to be turned on and the heat exchanger is controlled to be turned off, so as to perform active uniform wind. In the case that the human body surface temperature is less than or equal to the body temperature threshold, any one group of fan heat exchangers is controlled to be turned on, and the other group of fan heat exchangers is controlled to be turned off, so as to not perform active uniform wind. In this way, the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure are controlled based on the user's sleep state, so that the air conditioner heat exchange speed of the air conditioner matches the sleep state. The air conditioner runs more humanized and intelligent.

[0098] Optionally, the air conditioner controls the rotating speed of the air cylinder according to the indoor temperature. The higher or lower the indoor temperature is, the more quickly the heat exchange is needed, and the higher the rotating speed of the air cylinder is. This is because: the higher the rotating speed of the air cylinder is, the higher the wind sweeping frequency is; the air flow is faster, and it is easier to quickly adjust the temperature. Optionally, the indoor temperature and the rotating speed of the air cylinder have a corresponding relationship. Specifically, the indoor temperature can be divided as shown in Table 2 to correspond to different cold and hot degrees. Different cold and hot degrees correspond to different air cylinder rotating speeds. When the indoor environment temperature is generally high / low, the air cylinder rotating speed is maintained at a low speed. In this way, the temperature can be maintained, and energy can be saved. In this way, the rotating speed of the air cylinder is controlled based on the indoor temperature, so that the appropriate heat exchange speed can be matched, and the indoor temperature can be adjusted appropriately.

[0099] Optionally, the internal air supply structure provided on the air conditioner is only the first air supply structure, or only the second air supply structure, or only one of the first air supply structure and the second air supply structure runs. In combination with the above description, the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, which comprises the following steps. Figure 14 The present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, which comprises the following steps.

[0100] S141, the air conditioner determines the target running state of the air cylinder according to the running state thereof.

[0101] S142, the air conditioner controls the air duct to run according to the target running state to realize different degrees of uniform air supply of the third air supply structure; wherein the running state of the air conditioner includes the air supply mode of the air conditioner or the running state of the internal air supply structure.

[0102] The running state of the air conditioner includes the air supply mode of the air conditioner and the running state of the internal air supply structure. The running state of the internal air supply structure includes the running state of the first air supply structure or the running state of the second air supply structure. As described above, the air duct can rotate, so the target state of the air duct includes the target position of the air duct. When the air duct is at different positions, the distance between the outer wall of the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle is different, that is, the size of the third air duct is different, so the uniform air supply amount of the third air duct is also different. According to the running state of the air conditioner, the target position of the air duct is determined. Then the air duct is controlled to run according to the target running state, so that the third air supply structure performs different degrees of uniform air supply. In this way, the degree of uniform air supply of the air conditioner body can be changed.

[0103] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the target running state of the air duct is determined based on the running state of the air conditioner. Then the air duct is controlled to run according to the target running state, so that the third air supply structure performs different degrees of uniform air supply. That is, different running states of the air conditioner correspond to different running states of the air duct. The degree of uniform air supply is matched with the running state of the air conditioner, and the user's demand is met to the greatest extent. The air supply of the air conditioner body is cool but not cold, hot but not dry, and the user's comfort is improved.

[0104] Optionally, S141, the target running state of the air duct determined by the air conditioner according to the running state of the air conditioner includes:

[0105] The air conditioner obtains the air supply mode of the air conditioner.

[0106] The air conditioner determines the distance between the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle according to the air supply mode.

[0107] The air conditioner determines the target position of the air duct according to the determined distance.

[0108] The air supply mode includes not only the above-mentioned various air supply modes, but also direct blowing mode, non-direct blowing mode, constant temperature air supply mode and the like. When the air conditioner is running, its air supply mode can be obtained. As known from the foregoing, the size of the third air duct refers to the distance between the outer wall of the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle. The distance d between the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle is determined according to the air supply mode. Since the air duct rotates to different positions, the distance d changes, so the target position of the air duct can be determined according to the determined distance d. In this way, the air supply amount of the air conditioner is different when the air supply mode is different. By matching different air duct positions, different degrees of uniform air supply can be realized, so that the air supply of the air conditioner is cool but not cold, hot but not dry.

[0109] Optionally, the air conditioner determines the target position of the air duct according to the air supply mode, comprising:

[0110] In the case of the air supply mode being the direct-blow mode, the air conditioner determines the distance d between the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle as d=d max .

[0111] In the case of the air supply mode being the non-direct-blow mode, the air conditioner determines the distance d between the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle as d min <d<d max .

[0112] In the case of the air supply mode being the constant-temperature air supply mode, the air conditioner determines the distance d between the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle as d=d min .

[0113] As described above, there are many air supply modes of the air conditioner. Here, only the direct-blow mode, the non-direct-blow mode and the constant-temperature air supply mode are described in detail.

[0114] When the rotation speed of the first air fan or the second air fan is in the high rotation speed and large air volume running state:

[0115] Case I: If the air supply mode is the direct-blow mode, cold air or hot air is directly blown to the user's body, which will make the user feel uncomfortable. Therefore, d=d max is determined. At this time, the passive air volume is maximized, which can neutralize the cold air or hot air. Even if the large air volume is directly blown to the user's body, it will be cool but not cold, and hot but not dry.

[0116] Case II: If the air supply mode is the non-direct-blow mode, since the cold air or hot air will not be directly blown to the user's body, the user's discomfort for the temperature will not be too obvious. In this case, it is not necessary to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner by a large amount of air, i.e. the demand for air is not strong. Therefore, d min <d<d max is determined. At this time, the air conditioner is in a state of low air volume.

[0117] When the rotation speed of the first air fan or the second air fan is in the medium-low speed running state:

[0118] Case I: If the air supply mode is the direct-blow mode, d=d max is determined. The reason is described above and will not be repeated here.

[0119] Case II: If the air supply mode is the non-direct-blow mode, d min <d<d max is determined. The reason is described above and will not be repeated here.

[0120] Case three, if the air supply mode is constant temperature air supply mode, the purpose of the air conditioner running this mode is to maintain the environment temperature constant, which generally corresponds to the low wind energy saving mode. At this time, there is no uniform wind demand. Therefore, d = d min .

[0121] In this way, according to the specific air supply mode of the air conditioner, the distance between the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle is determined, so that the air volume of the third air duct is different. In this way, different degrees of uniform wind can be achieved, so as to adapt to the air supply mode and make the air outlet of the air conditioner more comfortable.

[0122] Optionally, in S141, the air conditioner determines the target running state of the air duct according to the running state of the air conditioner, including:

[0123] The air conditioner obtains the running state of the internal air supply structure.

[0124] The air conditioner determines the distance between the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle according to the running state of the internal air supply structure.

[0125] The air conditioner determines the target position of the air duct according to the determined distance.

[0126] The running state of the internal air supply structure includes: the running state of the first air supply structure, or the running state of the second air supply structure. The running state of the first air supply structure includes: the rotating speed of the first fan and the heat exchange efficiency of the first heat exchanger. The running state of the second air supply structure includes: the rotating speed of the second fan and the heat exchange efficiency of the second heat exchanger. The distance d between the outer wall of the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle is determined according to the running state of the internal air supply structure. The size of the third air duct is different when the distance d is different, and the uniform wind volume is also different. Since the distance d changes when the air duct rotates to different positions, the target position of the air duct can be determined according to the determined distance d. In this way, different distances d are determined according to the different running states of the internal air supply structure, and different positions of the air duct are obtained. The best uniform wind volume matched with the running state of the internal air supply structure can be achieved, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner is more comfortable.

[0127] Optionally, the air conditioner determines the distance between the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle according to the running state of the internal air supply structure, including:

[0128] In the case where the rotating speed and the heat exchange efficiency are both maximum, the air conditioner determines the distance d between the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle as d = d max .

[0129] In the case where the rotating speed and the heat exchange efficiency are not both maximum, the air conditioner obtains the information of the indoor user; and determines the distance between the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle according to the information of the indoor user.

[0130] Case one, when the rotation speed of the fan and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger are both maximum, the air volume of the air conditioner reaches maximum, and the user is easy to catch a cold or have other uncomfortable feelings. Therefore, d = d max At this time, the uniform air volume reaches maximum.

[0131] Case two, when the rotation speed of the fan and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger are not maximum, for example, the rotation speed of the fan is medium or low, and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is low, the air volume of the air conditioner decreases at this time. The user has no obvious uncomfortable feeling to the air volume of the air conditioner, so theoretically, the uniform air is not needed. In this case, the information of the indoor user is obtained, and whether the uniform air is needed is determined according to the information of the indoor user, and if the uniform air is needed, is the large uniform air volume or the small uniform air volume. Further, the distance between the outer wall of the air outlet duct and the inner wall of the baffle is determined.

[0132] It can be understood that the fan and the heat exchanger here are the same group of fan heat exchangers.

[0133] In this way, on the one hand, according to the rotation speed of the fan and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger, the distance is determined, so as to obtain the maximum uniform air volume, so that the air volume of the air conditioner is more comfortable. On the other hand, according to the information of the indoor user, the distance d is determined, so that the uniform air volume of the air conditioner is more in line with the needs of the user, so that the operation of the air conditioner is more intelligent and humanized.

[0134] Optionally, the air conditioner determines the distance between the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle according to the information of the indoor user, comprising:

[0135] The air conditioner determines the target uniform air volume according to the information of the indoor user.

[0136] The air conditioner determines the distance corresponding to the target uniform air volume according to the corresponding relationship between the uniform air volume and the distance.

[0137] The information of the indoor user can include a user's habit uniform air volume, a user's favorite uniform air volume, and the like. First, the indoor user is labeled to intelligently identify the user. Then, the habit uniform air volume or the favorite uniform air volume of the user is recorded in the case that neither the rotation speed nor the heat exchange efficiency is the maximum, so as to form a corresponding relationship between the user information and the uniform air volume. The habit uniform air volume can be the uniform air volume frequently adjusted by the user within a period of time, for example, 5-7 days. The favorite uniform air volume can be input by the user in advance through a remote controller or a mobile client. After the corresponding relationship is established, if the user does not need uniform air, uniform air is not performed. If the user needs uniform air, the target uniform air volume corresponding to the current user is determined. After the target uniform air volume is determined, the distance corresponding to the target uniform air volume can be determined according to the corresponding relationship between the uniform air volume and the distance. The corresponding relationship between the uniform air volume and the distance can be set before the air conditioner is shipped, or can be set by the user according to the user's own preferences or habits. In this way, in the case that uniform air is not needed in theory, whether uniform air is needed and the uniform air volume are further determined according to the user's own characteristics, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner is more considerate.

[0138] Optionally, the air conditioner determines a target position of the air duct according to the determined distance, including:

[0139] The air conditioner obtains the target position corresponding to the determined distance according to the corresponding relationship between the distance and the position of the air duct.

[0140] The distance between the outer wall of the air duct and the inner wall of the baffle is different when the air duct rotates to different positions. According to the need, the rotation range of the air duct is divided into a plurality of position intervals. When the air duct rotates in a position interval, it can be considered that the air outlet volume of the third air duct is almost unchanged. Thus, the corresponding relationship between the distance and the position of the air duct is established. According to this relationship, the target position corresponding to the determined distance can be obtained. Then the air duct is controlled to rotate to the target position. In this way, the purpose of determining the target position of the air duct is achieved.

[0141] In combination with Figure 15 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0142] S151, in the case that the air supply mode of the air conditioner is a direct blowing mode, the air conditioner acquires indoor information.

[0143] S152, the air conditioner determines a target air volume delivered by a first air supply structure to two air ducts according to the indoor information.

[0144] S153, the air conditioner controls the operating state of the first air supply structure according to the target air volume.

[0145] The user can send an instruction to the air conditioner through a remote controller or a terminal device to adjust the air supply mode to the direct-blow mode. The air conditioner runs the direct-blow mode in response to the instruction. As described above, the direct-blow mode refers to the air outlet of the air conditioner directly blowing on a person. In the case where the air conditioner runs the direct-blow mode, the air conditioner obtains indoor information through a sensor or the like. The target air volume that the first air supply structure delivers to the two air ducts is determined according to the indoor information. Then, the running state of the first air supply structure is controlled according to the target air volume. The terminal device refers to an electronic device with a wireless connection function. The terminal device can be connected to the smart home appliance as above through the Internet or can be directly connected to the smart home appliance as above through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or the like. In some embodiments, the terminal device is, for example, a mobile device, a computer, or a built-in vehicle device of a hoverboard, or any combination thereof. The mobile device may, for example, include a mobile phone, a smart home device, a wearable device, a smart mobile device, a virtual reality device, or any combination thereof, wherein the wearable device may, for example, include a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a pedometer, or the like.

[0146] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the air conditioner runs the direct-blow mode, the target air volume that the first air supply structure delivers to the two air ducts is determined according to the indoor information, so as to control the running state of the first air supply structure. By controlling the air supply volume to the two air ducts, the adverse effects of the direct-blow mode are reduced, while the demand of the user for the direct-blow mode is met. The user experience is improved, and the air outlet of the air conditioner is more intelligent.

[0147] Optionally, S152, the air conditioner determines the target air volume that the first air supply structure delivers to the two air ducts according to the indoor information, including:

[0148] The air conditioner determines the user demand according to the indoor user information.

[0149] The air conditioner determines the target air volume that the first air supply structure delivers to the two air ducts according to the user demand.

[0150] The indoor information includes indoor user information. The user has the most direct feeling about whether the air outlet of the air conditioner is reasonable. Therefore, the user demand is determined according to the indoor user information. Optionally, the air conditioner identifies the identity of the user through a camera, so as to determine the historical demand of the user when the air conditioner runs the direct-blow mode. Then, the target air volume that the first air supply structure delivers to the two air ducts is determined according to the user demand. In this way, the target air volume that the first air supply structure delivers to the two air ducts is determined based on the demand of the user. The air outlet of the two air ducts can be more in line with the user's own demand, thereby improving the user experience.

[0151] Optionally, the air conditioner determines the target air volume that the first air supply structure delivers to the two air ducts according to the user demand, including:

[0152] In the case that the user demand is direct blowing, the air conditioner determines that the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts is the same.

[0153] In the case that the user demand includes direct blowing and non-direct blowing, the air conditioner determines that the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts is different.

[0154] The air conditioner operates the direct blowing mode in response to an instruction. The instruction is usually sent by a user. However, when there are multiple users in the room, there may be a user who does not want to be directly blown. The air conditioner can identify the identity of the user in the room through the camera, and determine whether the user demand is direct blowing or non-direct blowing according to the user's past operation of the direct blowing mode. Alternatively, the user can input his / her demand for the direct blowing mode to the air conditioner in advance. In the case that the user demand is direct blowing, i.e., all the users in the room want to be directly blown, it is determined that the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts is the same. In this way, the air volume of the two air ducts is the same, thereby meeting the demand of all the users in the room who want to be directly blown. In the case that the user demand includes direct blowing and non-direct blowing, i.e., there are users who want to be directly blown and users who do not want to be directly blown in the room, it is determined that the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts is different. Alternatively, the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to one air duct is greater than that delivered to the other air duct. The user who wants to be directly blown can move to the area covered by the air duct with a greater air volume, and the user who does not want to be directly blown can move to the area covered by the air duct with a smaller air volume. In this way, the air volume of the air conditioner can meet the demand of the user who wants to be directly blown and take care of the user who does not want to be directly blown, so that the air volume of the air conditioner is more humanized and intelligent.

[0155] Alternatively, the air conditioner determines the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts according to the user demand, including:

[0156] The air conditioner determines the target air duct according to the location of the people in the room.

[0157] The air conditioner determines the size relationship between the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the target air duct and the other air duct according to the user demand.

[0158] The indoor information further includes a position of the indoor crowd. A longitudinal plane of a central axis of the air conditioner is set, and the left and right air ducts are symmetrical about the longitudinal plane. The longitudinal plane divides the indoor space into left and right spaces. The left air duct corresponds to the left space, and the right air duct corresponds to the right space. The air conditioner determines the position of the crowd by a camera or the like. The air conditioner determines the corresponding air duct according to the position of the crowd. If the crowd is in the left space, the left air duct is the target air duct. If the crowd is in the right space, the right air duct is the target air duct. The user demand is further determined, and the size relationship of the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the target air duct and the other air duct is determined according to the user demand. In this way, the position of the crowd is considered first to determine the target air duct corresponding to the user to meet the objective demand of the user. Then, the user demand is considered to determine the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts to meet the subjective demand of the user. In this way, the subjective and objective demands are combined to make the air outlet of the air duct more intelligent.

[0159] Optionally, the air conditioner determines the size relationship of the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the target air duct and the other air duct according to the user demand, including:

[0160] In the case where the user demand is direct blowing, the air conditioner determines that the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the air duct corresponding to the position of the crowd is greater than the target air volume delivered to the other air duct.

[0161] In the case where the user demand is not direct blowing, the air conditioner determines that the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the air duct corresponding to the position of the crowd is less than the target air volume delivered to the other air duct.

[0162] The user demand includes direct blowing and non-direct blowing. The air conditioner can identify the identity of the user through a camera or the like. According to the user's past operation of the direct blowing mode, it is determined whether the user demand is direct blowing or non-direct blowing. For a group of people, the demand of the majority is given priority. If the number of users who hope to be directly blown in the group is greater than the number of users who do not hope to be directly blown, it is determined that the user demand is direct blowing. At this time, it is determined that the target air volume of the first air supply structure delivered to the target air duct is greater than the target air volume delivered to the other air duct, so that the demand of the majority of users who hope to be directly blown is met. At this time, the air volume of the other air duct is small, and the users who do not hope to be directly blown in the group can move to the area covered by the other air duct to reduce the feeling of being directly blown by the air conditioner. If the number of users who hope to be directly blown in the group is less than or equal to the number of users who do not hope to be directly blown, it is determined that the user demand is non-direct blowing. At this time, it is determined that the target air volume of the first air supply structure delivered to the target air duct is less than the target air volume delivered to the other air duct, so that the demand of the majority of users who do not hope to be directly blown is met. At this time, the air volume of the other air duct is large, and the users who hope to be directly blown can move to the area covered by the other air duct to enhance the feeling of being directly blown by the air conditioner. In this way, according to the specific demand of the user for direct blowing, the size of the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts is determined, so that the demands of different users are fully met.

[0163] Optionally, S153, the air conditioner controls the running state of the first air supply structure according to the target air volume, including:

[0164] In the case that the target air volume is the same, the air conditioner controls the deflector to be in the original state.

[0165] In the case that the target air volume is different, the air conditioner controls the deflector to deflect to the side with smaller target air volume.

[0166] As described above, the middle position of the outlet of the volute is provided with a deflectable deflector. By controlling the deflection direction of the deflector, the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts can be controlled. In the case that the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts is the same, the deflector is controlled to be in the original state, that is, the deflector does not deflect to any side. In the case that the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts is different, the deflector is controlled to deflect to the side with smaller target air volume. For example, it is determined that the target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the left air duct is greater than the target air volume delivered to the right air duct, and the deflector is controlled to deflect to the right. In this way, the deflector blocks the right air outlet area of the volute, and at the same time, the blocking of the left air outlet area is reduced, so that the left air outlet is greater than the right air outlet. In this way, by controlling the deflection direction of the deflector, different target air volumes delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts can be realized.

[0167] Optionally, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0168] In a case that the air supply mode of the air conditioner is the direct blowing mode, indoor information is acquired.

[0169] The air conditioner determines a target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts according to the indoor information, and determines a target direction of air supply of the two air ducts to the indoor.

[0170] The air conditioner controls the operating state of the first air supply structure according to the target air volume, and controls the rotating direction of the two air ducts according to the target direction.

[0171] The user can send an instruction to the air conditioner through a remote controller or a terminal device to adjust the air supply mode to the direct blowing mode. The air conditioner operates the direct blowing mode in response to the instruction. As described above, the direct blowing mode refers to that the air outlet of the air conditioner directly blows on the user. In a case that the air conditioner operates the direct blowing mode, the air conditioner acquires indoor information through a sensor or the like. According to the indoor information, a target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts is determined. Meanwhile, as described above, the two air ducts can rotate, and thus a target direction of air supply of the two air ducts is determined according to the indoor information. Then, the operating state of the first air supply structure is controlled according to the target air volume. Meanwhile, the rotating direction of the two air ducts is controlled according to the determined target direction. In this way, in a case that the air conditioner operates the direct blowing mode, a target air volume delivered by the first air supply structure to the two air ducts is determined based on the indoor information, so as to control the operating state of the first air supply structure. By controlling the air supply volume to the two air ducts, the adverse effect of the direct blowing mode is reduced, and the demand of the user for the direct blowing is also met. The experience of the user is improved. Meanwhile, the target direction of the two air ducts is determined based on the indoor information to control the rotating direction of the air ducts, so that the air outlet direction of the air ducts matches the indoor information. By controlling the air outlet volume and the air outlet direction of the air ducts, the air outlet of the air conditioner is more intelligent, so that the experience of the user is better.

[0172] Optionally, the air conditioner determines the target direction of air supply of the two air ducts to the indoor according to the indoor information, including:

[0173] In a case that the demand of the user is the direct blowing, the air conditioner determines the target direction as a direction where the user is located.

[0174] In a case that the demand of the user is not the direct blowing, the air conditioner determines the target direction as a direction where the user is not located.

[0175] The indoor information includes user demand and user position. The target direction of the two air ducts is determined according to the user demand and the user position. The user demand includes direct blowing and non-direct blowing. When the user demand is direct blowing, the target direction of the air duct is determined as the direction of the user position. In this way, the air duct is controlled to rotate so that the air outlet of the air duct faces the user. The air outlet of the air duct directly blows on the user, so as to meet the demand of the user who hopes to be directly blown. When the user demand is non-direct blowing, the target direction of the air duct is determined as the direction away from the user position. In this way, the air duct is controlled to rotate so that the air outlet of the air duct avoids the user. The air outlet of the air duct does not directly blow on the user, so as to meet the demand of the user who does not hope to be directly blown. In this way, the direction of the air duct to send air to the indoor is determined based on whether the user hopes to be directly blown and the user position, so that the air outlet of the air duct meets the user.

[0176] Optionally, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0177] The air conditioner obtains the carbon dioxide concentration of indoor air.

[0178] In the case where the carbon dioxide concentration is greater than the concentration threshold, the air conditioner operates a fresh air mode.

[0179] The air conditioner controls the operating state of the first air supply structure according to the outdoor fresh air temperature.

[0180] The indoor or air conditioner itself is provided with a sensor for detecting carbon dioxide concentration. The air conditioner obtains the carbon dioxide concentration of indoor air through the sensor. A concentration threshold is set. When the obtained carbon dioxide concentration is greater than the concentration threshold, it indicates that the indoor air is relatively turbid at this time, and the fresh air function needs to be started. At this time, the air conditioner runs in the fresh air mode, and the fresh air inlet is controlled to be opened. Fresh air enters the indoor through the fresh air inlet, the first air duct and the air duct. At the same time, the air conditioner obtains the outdoor fresh air temperature and compares it with the target temperature of the air conditioner. If the difference Δt between the outdoor fresh air temperature and the target temperature is t1≤Δt≤t2, it indicates that the difference between the outdoor fresh air temperature and the target temperature is small, and the outdoor fresh air temperature does not need to be adjusted. At this time, the first heat exchanger does not need to act (does not need to refrigerate or heat). If the difference Δt between the outdoor fresh air and the target temperature is Δt
