Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the air conditioning control field, and particularly relates to an air conditioner control method suitable for the old. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the frequent occurrence of extreme high temperature weather in summer, the old people change from unwilling to turn on the air conditioner to save electricity to have to turn on the air conditioner to improve the unbearable hot environment in the room. Through investigation and big data mining of the air conditioner use behavior characteristics of the old people, it is found that even if the old people have used the air conditioner, they still induce headache, cold or joint pain for saving electricity or worrying about blowing low temperature air conditioner wind, and they mostly set the temperature to 28.0-30.0℃. A small part of the old people may cause lower set temperature (lower than 24.0℃) or extreme set temperature (16.0℃) due to the greed for cool or improper operation, and the indoor temperature of the partial cool is not conducive to the health of the old people. In addition, since part of the old people will not use the air conditioner, and are affected by the decline of vision, hand and foot movement ability, etc., the old people will basically only turn on and off the air conditioner and less adjust the set temperature, which not only causes the inconvenience of the old people in daily activities, but also may cause the sleep quality to decrease due to being woken up by cold or heat when sleeping. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an old-adapted summer air conditioner intelligent temperature control method, controller and air conditioner.

[0003] At present, the existing standard stipulates that the indoor design temperature of the air conditioner when the indoor personnel stays for a long time is 24.0-28.0℃, which meets the indoor design temperature of the old people when staying for a long time in 26.0-28.0℃. According to the air conditioner temperature control logic, the fluctuation range of the indoor temperature after the indoor temperature is reduced to stable is generally in the interval of 2.0℃ lower than the set temperature to 2.0℃ higher than the set temperature, and the fluctuation period is about half an hour, so the set temperature meeting the comfort of the old people is generally 26.0-28.0℃. At the same time, since the physiological zero degree of the human body is 28.0-29.0℃, the set temperature meeting the health needs of the old people is generally 28.0-29.0℃.

[0004] The required ambient temperature is different for different work and rest and behavior. When sleeping, the metabolic rate and body temperature of the elderly are low, so the indoor temperature should be higher to ensure health. At the same time, the sleep time is longer at night and the outdoor temperature is lower, so the temperature requirement is higher at night, while the sleep time is shorter at noon and the outdoor temperature is higher, so more attention should be paid to the needs of the elderly during the noon nap. When active, based on the different intensity of behavior activities of the elderly and the self-adaptive behavior (such as opening and closing the window, opening and closing the fan, taking off and putting on clothes, etc.) to adjust the heat balance between the body and the environment, the setting temperature of this period is mainly to ensure that the indoor temperature will not be too cold. Through investigation, it is found that the basic work and rest of the elderly can be divided into three types: night sleep (21:00 to 6:00 the next day), noon break (12:00 to 15:00) and activity (6:00 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 21:00). Among them, the air conditioner use rate of the elderly is the highest during the night sleep period, followed by the noon break period, and the least is the activity period, which shows that the elderly have higher demand for sleep environment temperature. In summary, the air conditioner temperature control method should clearly define the work and rest period of the elderly, and then intelligently meet the temperature needs of the elderly in different work and rest periods, so as to meet the needs of the elderly for air conditioner to realize comfort, health and save electricity, and solve the problem that the elderly cannot adjust the air conditioner.

[0005] There are few air conditioner setting temperature control technologies for the elderly in the prior art. The existing Chinese patents with publication numbers CN104566799B and CN105928157A have proposed an air conditioner intelligent temperature control method suitable for the elderly and distinguishing sleep function, but the discrimination condition for starting the sleep function is based on the sleep function key or with the help of infrared image recognition. Most of the elderly do not adjust the air conditioner or often forget to manually start the sleep mode key, and the infrared image technology is easily affected by other heat sources or cover shielding, which may lead to misjudgment, which may lead to low use rate of the sleep intelligent temperature control function. At the same time, the related technology does not distinguish the temperature control method for the night sleep and noon sleep period of the elderly, which may also cause the elderly to feel hot during the noon break, and thus increase the health risk of the elderly manually adjusting to a cool temperature and being harmed by low temperature. In addition, the existing technology only provides a control method for setting the temperature when starting, and only blindly realizes intelligent adjustment without considering the change of environmental temperature demand or personal preference.

[0006] Therefore, the present application aims to provide an air conditioner control method suitable for the elderly to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0043] It should be noted that the embodiments in the application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The application will be described in detail below in combination with the embodiments.

[0044] Embodiment:

[0045] The scheme provided by the embodiment of the application is: an air conditioner control method, a controller and an air conditioner suitable for the aging, the air conditioner controller includes a wireless receiving and sending module, a remote control input module, a synchronous clock, an air return temperature input module and a compressor driving module, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0046] The air conditioner control method includes a main module, an intelligent temperature adjustment module in a night sleep period, an intelligent temperature adjustment module in a noon break period, an intelligent temperature adjustment module in an activity period, a first manual adjustment intelligent temperature adjustment module and a second manual adjustment intelligent temperature adjustment module, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 ,Figure 7 as shown.

[0047] The air conditioner comprises the air conditioner control method and the controller, a condenser, a fan and other devices and components.Embodiments of the air conditioner control method are as follows:

[0048] 1) As shown in Figure 1 , the control method of the main module is as follows: Figure 2

[0049] S1: After the air conditioner is powered on, the real time is obtained by synchronizing the clock, and the return air temperature signal is received.

[0050] S2: By means of the infinite sending and receiving module or the remote control input module, it is detected whether the old people mode is started by the mobile phone remote or the remote control button method.

[0051] S3: In the old people mode, it is detected whether the cooling mode is started.

[0052] S4: Based on the real time, it is judged whether the time of the initial action (start or initial time point of a certain rest period) is in [21 o'clock, 24 o'clock) or [0 o'clock, 6 o'clock), if it is, the night sleep period intelligent temperature adjustment module is started, otherwise the next step is entered.

[0053] S5: It is judged whether the time of the initial action is in [12 o'clock, 15 o'clock), if it is, the lunch break period intelligent temperature adjustment module is started, otherwise the activity period intelligent temperature adjustment module is started.

[0054] 2) As shown in Figure 3 the control method of the night sleep period intelligent temperature adjustment module is as follows:

[0055] Night sleep S1: It is judged whether the initial set temperature is in [28.0℃, 30.0℃], if it is, it is explained that the old people take saving power consumption or health as the main purpose, and the set temperature is kept running; otherwise, when the return air temperature is lower than 28.0℃, the set temperature is adjusted to 28.0℃ and the 28.0℃ set temperature is kept running, which can create a comfortable environment before falling asleep and avoid the subsequent indoor environment being too cold and still keeping comfortable.

[0056] 3) As shown in Figure 4 the control method of the lunch break period intelligent temperature adjustment module is as follows:

[0057] Lunch break step one: It is judged whether the initial set temperature is in 30.0℃, if it is, it is explained that the old people take saving power consumption as the main purpose, so the initial set temperature is kept running; if it is not, the next discrimination condition is entered.

[0058] Lunch break step two: based on the return air temperature, determine whether the initial set temperature is in [28.0℃, 30.0℃), if it is, it means that the old people pursue comfort and health and pay attention to health, then when the return air temperature is lower than 28.0℃, the set temperature is adjusted to 28.0℃ and the 28.0℃ set temperature is kept running, which can meet the comfort demand of the old people before falling asleep, and then the set temperature is increased to ensure health; if it is not, then enter the next judgment condition.

[0059] Lunch break step three: based on the return air temperature, determine whether the initial set temperature is in [26.0℃, 28.0℃), if it is, it means that the old people pay more attention to comfort, so when the return air temperature is lower than 27.0℃, the set temperature is adjusted to 27.0℃ and the 27.0℃ set temperature is kept running; otherwise, when the return air temperature is lower than 26.0℃, the set temperature is adjusted to 26.0℃ and the 26.0℃ set temperature is kept running, which can also make the initial indoor temperature quickly drop to the comfort interval, and then achieve the purpose of avoiding overcooling and maintaining comfort.

[0060] 4) As shown in Figure 5 , the control method of the active period intelligent temperature adjustment module is:

[0061] Activity S1: determine whether the initial set temperature is in [26.0℃, 30.0℃], if it is, considering that the old people will perform different intensity behavior activities during the activity period and can adjust the thermal balance between themselves and the environment through adaptive behaviors (such as opening and closing windows, turning on and off fans, dressing and undressing, etc.), therefore the initial set temperature is kept running; if it is not, it means that the old people are greedy for cold or operate improperly, but the cold environment is not conducive to the health of the old people, therefore when the return air temperature is lower than 26.0℃, the set temperature is adjusted to 26.0℃ and the 26.0℃ set temperature is kept running, which can quickly reduce the temperature to improve the initial hot environment, and also avoid the subsequent indoor environment being too cold and still maintain comfort.

[0062] The above are the initial set temperature control methods corresponding to the initial time of the old people starting or a certain typical period. Then the old people may produce new environmental temperature demands and manually adjust the set temperature due to the disturbance of outdoor air temperature or changes in their own activity state, therefore the following is the manual adjustment intelligent temperature adjustment module after the initial set temperature adjustment.

[0063] Considering that the new demand time of the old people is short or mis-touch, the purpose of the first manual adjustment intelligent temperature adjustment is to meet the short-term new demand and still restore the temperature environment to ensure long-term health and comfort. As shown in Figure 6 , the control method of the first manual adjustment intelligent temperature adjustment module is:

[0064] Step one: after the initial setting temperature enters the intelligent temperature adjusting module, the first manual setting temperature adjusting action is detected, and it is judged whether the setting temperature is in [28.0℃, 30.0℃]. If yes, the first manual setting temperature adjusting operation is kept. Otherwise, the next judgment condition is entered.

[0065] Step two: it is judged whether the setting temperature is in [26.0℃, 28.0℃). If yes, step two' is entered. If not, step three is entered.

[0066] Step two': it is judged whether the time is in [21:00, 24:00) or [0:00, 6:00). If yes, the setting temperature is adjusted to 28.0℃ after the first manual setting temperature adjusting operation for 15 minutes, and the setting temperature is kept at 28.0℃. If not, the next judgment condition is entered.

[0067] Step two": it is judged whether the time is in [12:00, 15:00). If yes, the setting temperature is adjusted to 27.0℃ after the first manual setting temperature adjusting operation for 15 minutes, and the setting temperature is kept at 27.0℃. Otherwise, the first manual setting temperature adjusting operation is kept.

[0068] Step three: it is judged whether the time is in [21:00, 24:00) or [0:00, 6:00). If yes, the setting temperature is adjusted to 28.0℃ after the first manual setting temperature adjusting operation for 15 minutes, and the setting temperature is kept at 28.0℃. Otherwise, the setting temperature is adjusted to 26.0℃ after the first manual setting temperature adjusting operation for 15 minutes, and the setting temperature is kept at 26.0℃.

[0069] If the old person performs the second manual adjustment, it indicates that the new heat demand of the old person is strong, and the air conditioner should not intervene. As shown in the following table, the control method of the second manual adjustment intelligent temperature adjusting module is as follows: Figure 7

[0070] Step one: after the first manual setting temperature adjusting operation enters the first manual setting temperature adjusting intelligent temperature adjusting module, the second manual setting temperature adjusting action is detected, and the second manual setting temperature adjusting operation is kept.

[0071] The following is the specific implementation process of the embodiment of the present application:

[0072] ​For the power consumption, by excavating the influence of the typical urban residential building air conditioning set temperature on the cooling energy consumption, the results show that in the hot summer and cold winter area, the power consumption is 0.4 kWh / (m2·h) when the set temperature is 30.0℃, and the power consumption can be reduced by about 0.1 kWh / (m2·h) for every 1.0℃ increase in the set temperature within 22.0-30.0℃. Therefore, before the implementation of intelligent temperature adjustment, the power consumption is 9.0 kWh / m2 when using 30.0℃ set temperature all day, about 12.0 kWh / m2 when using 29.0℃ set temperature all day, about 15.0 kWh / m2 when using 28.0℃ set temperature all day, about 18.5 kWh / m2 when using 27.0℃ set temperature all day, and about 22.0 kWh / m2 when using 26.0℃ set temperature all day.

[0073] For the health risk degree, according to the air conditioning temperature control logic, the indoor temperature fluctuation range after stable cooling is generally in the interval of 2.0℃ lower than the set temperature to 2.0℃ higher than the set temperature, and the fluctuation period is about half an hour. At the same time, the human physiological zero degree is 28.0-29.0℃. Therefore, the health risk degree of 30.0℃ set temperature is defined as 62.5%, the health risk degree of 29.0℃ set temperature is 50%, the health risk degree of 28.0℃ set temperature is 50%, the health risk degree of 27.0℃ set temperature is 62.5%, and the health risk degree of 26.0℃ set temperature is 87.5%.

[0074] For the comfort degree, since the comfortable temperature of the elderly is 26.0-28.0℃, the comfort degree of 30.0℃ set temperature is 12.5%, the comfort degree of 29.0℃ set temperature is 37.5%, the comfort degree of 28.0℃ set temperature is 62.5%, the comfort degree of 27.0℃ set temperature is 75.0%, and the comfort degree of 26.0℃ set temperature is 62.5%.

[0075] Therefore, by calculation, it can be obtained that:

[0076] If the elderly take power saving as the main purpose, and the initial set temperature of each rest is 30.0℃ all day, as shown in Table 1, by implementing the present application technology, the power consumption is 9.6 kWh / m2, the health risk degree is 62.5%, and the comfort degree is 12.5%. The same as the effect of not implementing intelligent temperature adjustment, the primary purpose of maximizing power saving is achieved. Compared with the prior art (CN104566799 B), the power consumption is reduced by 1.0%, and the power saving effect is not significant.

[0077] Table 1 Air conditioning effect of initial set temperature of each rest being 30.0℃ all day

[0078]

[0079] If the elderly pursue comfort and pay attention to health, the initial setting temperature of each rest in the whole day is 29.0℃, as shown in Table 2, by realizing the present application technology, the power consumption is 11.8kWh / m2, the health risk degree is 50.0%, and the comfort degree is 40.6%. Compared with the effect of not realizing intelligent temperature regulation, although the power consumption increases by 2.6%, the comfort degree during the noon break increases by 8.3%, and the health risk degree remains unchanged, which meets the needs of comfort and health. Compared with the prior art (CN 104566799 B), although the power consumption increases by 21.6%, the health risk degree decreases by 19.1%, and the comfort degree increases by 11.2%, the comfort and health effects are obviously improved.

[0080] Table 2 Air conditioning effect when the initial setting temperature of each rest in the whole day is 29.0℃

[0081]

[0082]

[0083] If the elderly pursue comfort and pay attention to health, the initial setting temperature of each rest in the whole day is 29.0℃, as shown in Table 2, by realizing the present application technology, the power consumption is 11.8kWh / m2, the health risk degree is 50.0%, and the comfort degree is 40.6%. Compared with the effect of not realizing intelligent temperature regulation, although the power consumption increases by 2.6%, the comfort degree during the noon break increases by 8.3%, and the health risk degree remains unchanged, which meets the needs of comfort and health. Compared with the prior art (CN 104566799 B), although the power consumption increases by 21.6%, the health risk degree decreases by 19.1%, and the comfort degree increases by 11.2%, the comfort and health effects are obviously improved.

[0084] Table 3 Air conditioning effect when the initial setting temperature of each rest in the whole day is 28.0℃

[0085]

[0086] If the elderly pay attention to comfort, the initial setting temperature of each rest in the whole day is 27.0℃, as shown in Table 4, by realizing the present application technology, the power consumption is 16.0kWh / m2, the health risk degree is 58.3%, and the comfort degree is 70.8%. Compared with the effect of not realizing intelligent temperature regulation, the power consumption during the night sleep is saved by 12.7%, the health risk degree during the night sleep is reduced by 17.8%, and the comfort degree is reduced by 14.8%, which obviously improves the health effect during the night sleep. Compared with the prior art (CN 104566799 B), although the power consumption increases by 6.0% and the health risk degree increases by 1.7%, the comfort degree increases by 13.3%, and the comfort effect is obviously improved.

[0087] Table 4 Air conditioning effect when the initial setting temperature of each rest in the whole day is 27.0℃

[0088]

[0089] If the elderly focus on comfort, the initial setting temperature of each rest in a day is 26.0℃, as shown in Table 5, by implementing the present technology, the power consumption is 17.4kWh / m2, the health risk degree is 72.9%, and the comfort degree is 60.4%. Compared with the effect of not implementing intelligent temperature regulation, the power consumption is saved by 9.4%, the health risk degree is reduced by 38.1% and 19.1% during night sleep and afternoon break respectively, the comfort degree during afternoon break is increased by 13.3%, and the health effect during night sleep and the health effect and comfort degree during afternoon break are significantly improved. Compared with the prior art (CN104566799B), although the power consumption is increased by 3.0%, the health risk degree is almost the same, but the comfort degree is increased by 3.6%, and the comfort effect is slightly improved.

[0090] Table 5 Air conditioning effect when the initial setting temperature of each rest in a day is 26.0℃

[0091]

[0092]

[0093] In summary, by the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application: when the elderly focus on saving power consumption (the initial setting temperature is 30.0℃), the effect of implementing the present technology is: the power consumption is 9.6kWh / m2, the health risk degree is 62.5%, and the comfort degree is 12.5%. This effect is not much different from the effect of not implementing intelligent temperature regulation or the effect of the prior art.

[0094] When the elderly require both health and comfort (the initial setting temperature is 28.0-29.0℃), the effect of implementing the present technology is: the power consumption is 11.8-14.4kWh / m2, the health risk degree is 50.0%, and the comfort degree is 40.6-62.5%.
