Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a control method for an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Current dual-tower air conditioners have an exhaust air function. When the air outlet towers on both sides blow air forward, they drive the indoor air in the exhaust air gap forward and mix with it, thus achieving a uniform airflow.

[0035] If the difference between the currently acquired user-related temperature and the previously acquired user-related temperature is greater than the preset difference, control the multiple air guides and the two air guide devices to operate in comfort mode to maintain the current indoor temperature.

[0036] If the difference between the currently acquired user-related temperature and the previously acquired user-related temperature is not greater than the preset difference, control the two air guide devices to fully open the corresponding first air outlets, and control the multiple air guide plates to fully open the air intake interval.

[0037] Optionally, each of the air guide plates is rotatably disposed about its rear end edge, and the rear end of the air guide plate is disposed on the side wall of the air intake interval;

By controlling the airflow volume and direction of the first air outlets, the airflow volume and direction of the air intake interval can be adjusted. Furthermore, by controlling the airflow volume and direction at different heights of the air intake interval, the final airflow from the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be made more suitable for either the preset or non-preset users.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0055] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a control method for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 7 This invention provides a control method for an air conditioner, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner includes two horizontally arranged air outlets 10, each air outlet 10 having a vertically shaped first air outlet 11. An air intake gap 20 is formed between the two air outlets 10. Figure 1 As shown, the control method for the air conditioner includes: acquiring user information; determining whether the user is a preset user based on the user information; and, based on whether the user is a preset user, controlling at least the air volume and direction of the first air outlet 11, and controlling the air volume and direction of the air outlet at different heights of the induced draft interval 20.

[0056] When the two first air outlets 11 expel air forward, they drive the air within the air intake interval 20 to flow forward and mix with the airflow blown out by the first air outlets 11, achieving a uniform airflow effect. This makes the temperature of the mixed airflow closer to room temperature, which is more user-friendly. By controlling the airflow volume and direction of the first air outlets 11, the airflow volume and direction of the air intake interval 20 can be adjusted. Furthermore, by controlling the airflow volume and direction at different heights of the air intake interval 20, the final airflow from the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be made more suitable for either the preset or non-preset users.

[0057] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the air volume of the first air outlet 11 can be controlled at least according to whether the user is a preset person.

[0058] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet direction of the first air outlet 11 can be controlled at least according to whether the user is a preset person.

[0059] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the air volume at different heights of the air intake interval 20 can be controlled at least according to whether the user is a preset person.

[0060] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet direction at different heights of the air duct interval 20 can be controlled at least according to whether the user is a preset person.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the preset personnel can be family members. In other embodiments, the preset personnel can also be company employees or other personnel who frequently use air conditioners.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner is pre-set with a person type and / or height corresponding to each preset person. The person types include children, the elderly, and adults. If the user is a preset person, then at least the air volume and air direction of the first air outlet 11, and the air volume and air direction at different heights of the air intake interval 20 are controlled, including: obtaining the person type and height of the preset person corresponding to the user information. Based on the person type and height, at least the air volume and air direction of the first air outlet 11, and the air volume and air direction at different heights of the air intake interval 20 are controlled.

[0063] The air volume and direction of the first air outlet 11 are controlled according to the type and height of the person, and the air volume and direction of the air outlet at different heights of the air intake interval 20 are also controlled, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner is more targeted. For example, the air outlet corresponding to children is different from that corresponding to adults. Also, the opening or closing of the air intake interval 20 is different for taller users and shorter users.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes a plurality of air guide vanes 40, each air guide vane 40 being vertically arranged, and the plurality of air guide vanes 40 being rotatably arranged sequentially within the air intake interval 20 along the vertical direction. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the air volume and direction of the first air outlet 11 are controlled at least according to the type of person and / or the height of the person, and the air volume and direction of the air outlet at different heights of the air duct 20 are controlled. This includes controlling at least the bottom air guide plate 40 to be fully opened and at least the top air guide plate 40 to be closed when the person type corresponding to the user information is a child or an elderly person.

[0065] When the occupants are children and the elderly, these users require gentler airflow. By fully opening the section corresponding to the air intake interval 20 at least at the bottom of the deflector 40, a uniform airflow is achieved at least at the bottom. The airflow from the lowest part corresponding to the first air outlet mixes with the indoor air, resulting in a gentler flow. By fully closing the section corresponding to the air intake interval 20 at least at the top of the deflector 40, the airflow from the highest part corresponding to the first air outlet helps to adjust the indoor temperature as quickly as possible.

[0066] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, it is also possible to control at least the uppermost air guide plate 40 not to fully open the portion corresponding to the air duct interval 20.

[0067] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, when the user information corresponds to the person type as a child or an elderly person, controlling at least the lowest air guide plate 40 to fully open the portion corresponding to the air duct interval 20, and controlling at least the highest air guide plate 40 to close or not fully open the portion corresponding to the air duct interval 20, includes: controlling all air guide plates 40 below the height of the person to fully open the portion corresponding to the air duct interval 20, and controlling the remaining air guide plates 40 to close the portion corresponding to the air duct interval 20.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes two air guiding devices 12, each air guiding device 12 being disposed at a corresponding first air outlet 11 for lateral air guiding. The airflow volume and / or airflow direction of the first air outlet 11 are controlled according to the user type and height, including: when the user information corresponds to a child or elderly person, the air guiding device 12 is controlled to guide the airflow from the first air outlet 11 to avoid the user. That is, when the user type is a child or elderly person, the airflow from the first air outlet 11 avoids directly blowing on the user.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the user information corresponds to an adult, at least the air volume and direction of the first air outlet 11, and the air volume and direction at different heights of the air intake interval 20 are controlled, including: obtaining the user's physical condition within a preset time period. The air volume and direction of the first air outlet 11, and the air volume and direction of the air intake interval 20 are controlled based on the physical condition. Preferably, the preset time period is 2 hours.

[0070] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the physical condition includes activity level and body temperature. The airflow volume and direction of the first air outlet 11, and the airflow volume and direction of the air guide interval 20 are controlled according to the physical condition. This includes controlling multiple air guide plates 40 to fully open the air guide interval 20 and guiding the airflow from the first air outlet 11 towards the user when the user's activity level and body temperature are within preset activity level parameters and preset body temperature parameters, respectively. When the user's activity level and body temperature are outside the preset activity level parameters and preset body temperature parameters, the multiple air guide plates 40 and two air guide devices 12 are controlled to operate in a comfort mode to maintain the current indoor temperature and ensure that the airflow from the first air outlet 11 avoids the user.

[0071] The activity status here can be the activity status of the heart or the activity status of the limbs, etc. The body temperature status here can be the body temperature or the change in body temperature, etc. When the user's activity status and body temperature status are within the preset activity status parameters and preset body temperature status parameters, it indicates that the user is healthy. At this time, the airflow can be directed directly towards the adult user to quickly adjust the adult user's body temperature. When the user's activity status and body temperature status are outside the preset activity status parameters and preset body temperature status parameters, it indicates that the user is not healthy. The airflow cannot be directed directly towards the adult user. Therefore, multiple air guide vanes 40 and two air guide devices 12 are controlled to operate in comfort mode.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, if the user is not a preset user, the system controls at least the airflow volume and direction of the first air outlet 11, and the airflow volume and direction at different heights of the air intake interval 20. It also controls the two air guide devices 12 to fully open their corresponding first air outlets 11, and the multiple air guide plates 40 to fully open the air intake interval 20. The system acquires the user's relevant temperature, which can be the body surface temperature, the temperature of the clothing, or the ambient temperature within a preset range around the user. Based on the currently acquired and previously acquired user relevant temperatures, the system controls the airflow volume and direction of the first air outlet 11, and the airflow volume and direction at different heights of the air intake interval 20. In other words, when the user is not a preset user, the first air outlet 11 is fully opened to blow air, maximizing the amount of air blown forward within the air intake interval 20, thus achieving optimal mixing and significant airflow uniformity. Further control measures are then determined based on the user's relevant temperature. Preferably, the user's relevant temperature is acquired every 30 minutes.

[0073] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4As shown, the system controls the airflow and direction of the first air outlet 11 and the airflow and direction at different heights of the air duct interval 20 based on the currently acquired user-related temperature and the previously acquired user-related temperature. This includes determining whether the difference between the currently acquired user-related temperature and the previously acquired user-related temperature is greater than a preset difference. If the difference is greater than the preset difference, the system controls the multiple air guides 40 and the two air guide devices 12 to operate in comfort mode to maintain the current indoor temperature. If the difference is not greater than the preset difference, the system controls the two air guide devices 12 to fully open the corresponding first air outlet 11, and the multiple air guides 40 to fully open the air duct interval 20. The preset difference ranges from 0.25℃ to 1℃, preferably 0.5℃. In other words, if the temperature changes rapidly under the influence of the air conditioner and the difference is greater than the preset difference, it indicates that the air conditioner has effectively regulated the user's temperature, and the system can switch to comfort mode to maintain the current indoor temperature. If the temperature does not change quickly under the influence of the air conditioner and the difference is not greater than the preset difference, it means that the air conditioner is not effective in regulating the temperature of the user. It can continue to work in the previous state until the difference between the user's relevant temperature and the previously obtained user's relevant temperature is greater than the preset difference, at which point the air conditioner will switch to comfort mode.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, each air guide plate 40 is rotatably arranged around its rear end edge, and the rear end of the air guide plate 40 is located on the side wall of the air intake interval 20. The air guide plate 40 rotates around its rear end edge, so that its impact on airflow is minimized, ensuring smooth air delivery and relatively low air delivery noise.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, multiple air guide plates 40 constitute two air guide plate groups, each air guide plate group including at least two air guide plates 40. The two air guide plate groups are respectively disposed corresponding to the two side walls of the air intake interval 20. In these embodiments, each air guide plate group consists of at least two air guide plates 40. By setting multiple air guide plates 40, the air guide plates 40 can better control the air intake effect, that is, it is easier to control the air volume in different sections of the through-ventilation duct, thereby achieving a better uniform airflow effect. Furthermore, the two air guide plate groups are disposed on the side walls of the corresponding air intake interval 20, and can work together or independently.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, each air outlet 10 is further provided with a vertical strip-shaped second air outlet 17 on its front side, and the second air outlet 17 is located on the side of the first air outlet 11 away from the other air outlet 10.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second air outlet 17 is provided with an air outlet structure 18 to disperse the airflow blown out from the second air outlet 17. In some embodiments, in the comfort mode, the first air guide plate 40 closes the first air outlet 11, and the airflow is blown out from the air outlet structure 18 of the second air outlet 17, providing comfortable airflow.

[0078] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although numerous exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the scope of the present invention should be understood and construed as covering all such other variations or modifications.
