Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of smart home appliance technology, specifically relating to a humidity control method, control device, air conditioner, and storage medium during air conditioning cooling. Background Technology

[0002] During summer air conditioning cooling, the heat of hot air is absorbed by the liquid refrigerant flowing through the heat exchanger coils of the indoor unit, lowering the temperature of the hot air and thus producing cool air. In the cooling process, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat and becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant. Because the indoor unit's heat exchanger is at a relatively low temperature, water vapor around the air conditioner condenses on the heat exchanger, forming water droplets and reducing indoor humidity.

[0003] Existing technology addresses the problem of dryness in enclosed rooms when air conditioning is used for extended periods by adding extra humidifiers to humidify the indoor air. Condensate formed on the air conditioner's heat exchanger flows from the drip tray to the drain hole and is discharged outdoors via a drain pipe.

[0004] However, the condensate produced by the heat exchanger of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is essentially a reduction in indoor humidity. Draining it to the outside through the drain pipe not only fails to increase the indoor humidity but also wastes the condensate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problem of dry environment when using air conditioning for extended periods in enclosed rooms, this application provides a humidity control method, control device, air conditioner, and storage medium for air conditioning cooling.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a humidity control method during air conditioning cooling, the method comprising:

[0021] If the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 is within the humidity range of the target ambient humidity, then the second indoor ambient humidity is continuously acquired. When the second ambient humidity is greater than the upper limit of the target ambient humidity, the air conditioner is controlled to stop atomizing condensate.

[0022] In one possible implementation, controlling the atomized condensate from the air conditioner includes:

[0054] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0056] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0057] In this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0058] During summer air conditioning cooling, the heat of the hot air entering the air conditioner from the air inlet is absorbed by the liquid refrigerant flowing through the heat exchange coil of the indoor unit, thus lowering the temperature of the hot air. In the cooling process, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat and becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The indoor unit's heat exchanger is also at a low temperature, causing water vapor around the air conditioner to condense into water droplets on the heat exchanger, thus reducing the indoor humidity.

[0059] Currently, most solutions for indoor dryness caused by prolonged use of air conditioning for cooling involve adding extra humidifiers to increase indoor humidity. The condensate formed on the air conditioner's heat exchanger flows through a drip tray to a drain hole and is discharged outdoors via a drain pipe. However, the condensate on the heat exchanger essentially reduces indoor humidity; discharging it outdoors not only fails to increase indoor humidity but also wastes the condensate.

[0060] Therefore, this application provides a humidity control method that increases indoor humidity by atomizing the condensate in the water collection tray, thereby increasing indoor humidity, improving user comfort when using air conditioning, and avoiding waste of condensate.

[0061] Next, the technical solutions shown in this application will be described in detail through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments may exist alone or in combination with each other, and the same or similar content will not be described again in different embodiments.

[0062] The following is combined with Figure 1 This describes the flow direction of the condensate water after atomization in an embodiment of this application.

[0063] In this step, the condensate in the atomized water collection tray moves upward and enters the air conditioner through the upper air intake grille 1a. Under the action of the cross-flow fan 1e, it flows through the condenser 1b inside the air conditioner and is finally discharged from the air outlet 1d, humidifying the indoor air.

[0064] In this embodiment, no restrictions are placed on how the condensate is atomized. For example, an ultrasonic atomizer can be installed in the air conditioner. The ultrasonic atomizer is installed in the lower water tray 1c and is used to atomize the condensate in the lower water tray 1c.

[0065] The following is combined with Figure 2 This application describes how the humidity control method provided in the embodiment of the air conditioner controls the humidity of the air conditioner during cooling.

[0066] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a humidity control method for air conditioning during cooling, as provided in this application embodiment. Figure 1 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0067] S201. After the air conditioner is turned on, obtain the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 and the operating mode of the air conditioner.

[0068] When an air conditioner is cooling, condensation forms on the heat exchanger of the indoor unit. Additionally, the indoor humidity varies depending on the installation location of the air conditioner before it is turned on. To ensure a good user experience, different humidity control ranges are applied to different indoor humidity levels before the air conditioner is turned on. Since the start-up time of the air conditioner is uncertain, obtaining the indoor humidity before it is turned on is difficult. However, the change in indoor humidity at the moment the air conditioner is turned on is very small. Therefore, the current indoor humidity after the air conditioner is turned on, i.e., the first indoor humidity RH1, is used to represent it. Therefore, after the air conditioner is turned on, the first indoor humidity RH1 and the operating mode of the air conditioner are obtained.

[0069] S202. When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the target humidity range of the target ambient humidity is obtained based on the first indoor ambient humidity RH1, wherein the target ambient humidity is the humidity that needs to be humidified.

[0070] In this step, when the air conditioner is cooling, the humidity level of the environment is determined based on the first indoor ambient humidity RH1, the corresponding preset humidity range is obtained, and then the upper and lower limit parameters are selected in the preset humidity range according to user needs or pre-set rules, so as to determine the target humidity range.

[0071] S203. Continuously acquire the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 of the current environment, and determine whether to control the air conditioner to atomize condensate water to humidify the indoor environment based on the target humidity range of the second indoor ambient humidity and the target ambient humidity.

[0072] In this step, if the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 is less than the lower limit of the target ambient humidity, the air conditioner will be controlled to atomize condensate water until the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 is greater than the upper limit of the target ambient humidity, at which point the air conditioner will be controlled to stop atomizing condensate water.

[0073] This application provides a humidity control method for air conditioning during cooling. The method determines the upper and lower limits of the target ambient humidity based on the ambient humidity when the air conditioner is turned on. Then, based on the relationship between the indoor ambient humidity and the target humidity limits, it controls the condensate in the air conditioner's drip tray to increase indoor humidity. This method avoids waste caused by condensate being discharged outdoors, increases indoor humidity, and improves the user experience when using the air conditioner for cooling.

[0074] The following is combined with Figure 3 This application describes how the humidity control method for air conditioning during cooling determines the target ambient humidity.

[0075] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a humidity control method for air conditioning during cooling, as provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0076] S301. Obtain the preset humidity range to which the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 belongs.

[0077] In this step, a first humidity level, a second humidity level, and a third humidity level are preset, where the first humidity level < the second humidity level < the third humidity level. Based on the relationship between the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 and the first, second, and third humidity levels, a preset humidity range is obtained. The first, second, and third humidity levels can be selected according to actual conditions; for example, the first humidity level can be 40%, the second humidity level can be 70%, and the third humidity level can be 100%.

[0078] S302. Obtain the upper and lower limit parameters according to the preset humidity range.

[0079] In this step, the upper and lower limit parameters can be selected manually or automatically by the air conditioner. When selected manually, the user can select the upper and lower limit parameters within the preset humidity range according to their own needs; if selected automatically, the air conditioner can select the upper and lower limit parameters within the preset humidity range according to the preset rules. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on the preset settings. For example, the preset settings can be: the upper limit parameter can be the upper limit of the preset humidity range, and the lower limit parameter can be the lower limit of the preset humidity range.

[0080] The first indoor ambient humidity RH1 has a different relationship with the first, second, and third humidity levels, and therefore belongs to different preset humidity ranges, i.e., there are three different preset humidity ranges. The upper and lower limit parameters are obtained automatically or manually based on the preset humidity ranges. Correspondingly, different preset humidity ranges correspond to different upper and lower limit parameter ranges, i.e., three upper and lower limit parameter ranges. Then, based on the actual situation, the upper and lower limits of the target ambient humidity are determined manually or automatically from the upper and lower limit parameter ranges corresponding to the preset humidity range to which the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 belongs.

[0081] S303. Obtain the target humidity range based on the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 and the upper and lower limit parameters.

[0082] In this step, the upper limit of the target humidity range is (1 + upper limit parameter) * RH1; the lower limit of the target humidity range is (1 - upper limit parameter) * RH1, that is, the target humidity range is [(1 - upper limit parameter) * RH1, (1 + upper limit parameter) * RH1].

[0083] S304. If the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 is less than or equal to the first humidity, then the first humidity range of the target ambient humidity [(1-M)*RH1, (1+M)*RH1] is obtained according to the first upper and lower limit parameters M.

[0084] In this step, when the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 is less than or equal to the first humidity, the first upper and lower limit parameters M are automatically or manually selected. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on how to obtain the first upper and lower limit parameters M. The corresponding target ambient humidity lower limit is (1-M)*RH1, and the target ambient humidity upper limit is (1+M)*RH1, that is, the first humidity range is [(1-M)*RH1, (1+M)*RH1].

[0085] S305. If the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 is greater than or equal to the first humidity and less than the second humidity, then the second humidity range of the target ambient humidity [(1-N)*RH1, (1+N)*RH1] is obtained according to the second upper and lower limit parameters N.

[0086] In this step, when the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 is greater than or equal to the first humidity and less than the second humidity, the second upper and lower limit parameters N are automatically or manually selected. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on how to obtain the second upper and lower limit parameters N. The corresponding target ambient humidity lower limit is (1-N)*RH1, and the target ambient humidity upper limit is (1+N)*RH1, that is, the second humidity range is [(1-N)*RH1, (1+N)*RH1].

[0087] S306. If the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 is greater than or equal to the second humidity and less than the third humidity, then the third humidity range of the target ambient humidity [(1-P)*RH1, (1+P)*RH1] is obtained according to the third upper and lower limit parameters P.

[0088] In this step, when the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 is greater than or equal to the second humidity and less than the third humidity, the third upper and lower limit parameters P are automatically or manually selected. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on how to obtain the third upper and lower limit parameters P. The corresponding target ambient humidity lower limit is (1-P)*RH1, and the target ambient humidity upper limit is (1+P)*RH1, that is, the third humidity range is [(1-P)*RH1, (1+P)*RH1].

[0089] The location of the air conditioner installation affects indoor humidity. To ensure user comfort when using the air conditioner, different target humidity ranges are set for different indoor humidity levels. However, since the condensate from the air conditioner's indoor unit heat exchanger originates from the environment itself, humidifying the indoor air with atomized condensate is to prevent the condensate from carrying away the humidity of the environment during air conditioning, thus reducing indoor humidity and preventing a significant increase in indoor humidity. Therefore, the selection of the first, second, and third upper and lower limits only considers controlling the speed of air conditioner humidity control. The drier or more humid the indoor environment, the greater the impact of the air conditioner on humidity. Therefore, it is necessary to control the condensate in the air conditioner's atomized drip tray more quickly. Simultaneously, considering user comfort in dry environments, the upper and lower limits are controlled to satisfy: first upper and lower limit ≤ third upper and lower limit < second upper and lower limit. The first, second, and third upper and lower limits are preset by the user according to their respective upper and lower limit ranges, or they are selected according to preset rules within their respective upper and lower limit ranges.

[0090] This application provides a humidity control method for air conditioning during cooling. By automatically or manually determining the upper and lower limit parameters within the target humidity range of the target environment, users can select the humidity control range themselves, further enhancing the user experience when using air conditioning for cooling.

[0091] The following is combined with Figure 4 This application describes how the humidity control method provided in the embodiment of the air conditioner controls humidity according to the target ambient humidity.

[0092] Figure 4 The application embodiment provides a flowchart of a humidity control method for air conditioning during cooling. Figure 3 ,like Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0093] S401. Obtain the relationship between the humidity ranges of the second indoor ambient humidity and the target ambient humidity.

[0094] In this step, the humidity range of the target environment has been determined. The next step is to determine the relationship between the upper and lower limits of the second indoor environment humidity and the target environment humidity, and to determine whether to control the atomization of condensate water in the air conditioner.

[0095] S402. If the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 is less than the lower limit of the target ambient humidity, then control the air conditioner to atomize the condensate.

[0096] In this step, when the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 is less than the lower limit of the target ambient humidity, the condensate in the air conditioner atomizing water collection tray is controlled.

[0097] S403. If the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 is within the humidity range of the target ambient humidity, then continue to acquire the second indoor ambient humidity. When the second ambient humidity is greater than the upper limit of the target ambient humidity, control the air conditioner to stop atomizing condensate.

[0098] In this step, when the ultrasonic atomizer is turned on, the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 of the previous environment is continuously acquired, and its relationship with the upper and lower limits of the target ambient humidity is continuously compared. If the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 is within the target humidity range, the atomization of condensate continues until the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 is greater than the upper limit of the target ambient humidity, and then the air conditioner is controlled to stop atomizing condensate.

[0099] In this embodiment, no limitations are made on how to control the condensate in the air conditioner's atomizing drip tray. For example, an ultrasonic atomizer can be installed in the lower drip tray to atomize the condensate. Specifically, when the humidity of the second indoor environment is lower than the lower limit of the target environment humidity, the ultrasonic atomizer inside the air conditioner is activated to atomize the condensate in the drip tray. The atomized condensate then flows into the indoor environment under the action of the fan inside the air conditioner.

[0100] This application provides a humidity control method during air conditioning cooling, which controls the ultrasonic atomizer installed in the air conditioner to turn on or off based on the comparison result between the upper and lower limits of the second indoor ambient humidity and the target ambient humidity, so as to make the humidity control effect more precise and enhance user comfort and experience.

[0102] The status acquisition module 501 is used to acquire the indoor ambient humidity and the operating mode of the air conditioner before it is turned on.

[0103] The target acquisition module 502 is used to acquire the target humidity range of the target ambient humidity based on the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, wherein the target ambient humidity is the humidity that needs to be humidified;

[0104] The judgment module 503 is used to continuously acquire the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 of the current environment, and determine whether to control the air conditioner to atomize condensate water to humidify the indoor environment based on the second indoor ambient humidity and the target humidity range of the target ambient humidity.

[0105] In one possible implementation, the target acquisition module 502 is further configured to acquire the preset humidity range to which the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 belongs;

[0106] Based on the preset humidity range, obtain the upper and lower limit parameters;

[0107] The target humidity range is obtained based on the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 and the upper and lower limit parameters, wherein the upper and lower limit parameters are positively correlated with the preset humidity range.

[0109] If the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 is greater than or equal to the first humidity and less than the second humidity, then the second humidity range of the target ambient humidity [(1-N)*RH1, (1+N)*RH1] is obtained according to the second upper and lower limit parameters N;

[0110] If the first indoor ambient humidity RH1 is greater than or equal to the second humidity and less than the third humidity, then the third humidity range of the target ambient humidity [(1-P)*RH1, (1+P)*RH1] is obtained according to the third upper and lower limit parameters P, where the first upper and lower limit parameters < the second upper and lower limit parameters < the third upper and lower limit parameters.

[0111] In one possible implementation, the target acquisition module 502 is further configured to allow the user to pre-set the first upper and lower limits, the second upper and lower limits, and the third upper and lower limits according to the upper and lower limit ranges corresponding to each upper and lower limit, or to set the first upper and lower limits, the second upper and lower limits, and the third upper and lower limits according to preset rules within the upper and lower limit ranges corresponding to each upper and lower limit.

[0112] In one possible implementation, the determining module 503 is further configured to:

[0113] If the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 is less than the lower limit of the target ambient humidity, then control the air conditioner to atomize the condensate.

[0114] If the second indoor ambient humidity RH2 is within the humidity range of the target ambient humidity, then the second indoor ambient humidity is continuously acquired. When the second ambient humidity is greater than the upper limit of the target ambient humidity, the air conditioner is controlled to stop atomizing condensate.

[0115] In one possible implementation, the determining module 503 is further configured to:

[0116] The ultrasonic atomizer installed inside the air conditioner is turned on to atomize the condensate in the air conditioner's water collection tray. The atomized condensate then flows into the indoor environment under the action of the fan inside the air conditioner.
