Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to air conditioning technology, in particular to an air conditioner and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In summer, mosquitoes are rampant, not only causing people to suffer from being bitten, affecting the user's sleep, but also possibly transmitting a variety of diseases, such as dengue fever, malaria, etc. Therefore, many users use mosquito nets in daily life to physically isolate mosquitoes from the area where the user is located, without any chemical hazards. Mosquito nets are divided into manually opened and closed ordinary mosquito nets and automatically opened and closed smart mosquito nets, which automatically unfold or automatically fold according to the instructions received. And whether it is an ordinary mosquito net or a smart mosquito net, the user needs to personally check whether mosquitoes are trapped inside the mosquito net to avoid being bitten inside the mosquito net.

[0022] adjusting a running parameter of the air conditioner to make the air conditioner switch to a direct blowing prevention mode to avoid air supply of the air conditioner from blowing towards the smart mosquito net.

[0023] Optionally, the air conditioner has a direct air supply mode for air flow to blow directly out of an air outlet of the air conditioner and a windless air supply mode for air flow blown out of the air outlet to be dispersed; and

[0024] The step of adjusting a running parameter of the air conditioner to make the air conditioner switch to a direct blowing prevention mode to avoid air supply of the air conditioner from blowing towards the smart mosquito net comprises:

[0025] adjusting an air supply mode of the air conditioner to the windless air supply mode.

[0035] Further, the inventors realize that when the smart mosquito net performs the unfolding action, the mosquito net gradually encloses the whole bed area from top to bottom or from one side of the bed to the other side, and if the cold wind blown by the air conditioner blows on the mosquito net, the mosquito net is easily blown up, resulting in that the mosquito net cannot normally enclose the whole bed area or form a gap, so that the anti-mosquito safety zone cannot be formed in the bed area. Therefore, the air conditioner of the present application switches to the anti-direct blowing mode by adjusting the operating parameters when the smart mosquito net starts to perform the unfolding action after the delay time ends, so as to avoid the air supply of the smart mosquito net, that is, the cold wind will not directly blow to the smart mosquito net, and the smart mosquito net will hardly produce unexpected deformation during the unfolding process, so that the smart mosquito net can normally and completely enclose the whole bed area to form a closed anti-mosquito safety zone, and the anti-mosquito effect of the smart mosquito net is avoided from being reduced due to the air blowing of the air conditioner.

[0044] The application first provides a control method of an air conditioner, which is communicatively connected with a smart mosquito net in a same environment space as the air conditioner, so as to transmit signals between the air conditioner and the smart mosquito net.

[0045] It can be understood that the air conditioner and the smart mosquito net are in the same environment space, for example, both of them are in a same master bedroom space, or both of them are in a same secondary bedroom space, and the like.

[0046] The control method of the air conditioner is designed based on the above-mentioned air conditioner.

[0047] Figure 1 is a schematic flow chart of the control method of the air conditioner according to the first embodiment of the application. Referring to Figure 1 The control method of the air conditioner of the application comprises:

[0048] In step S10, a smart mosquito net sends an unfolding start signal; the unfolding start signal is generated by the smart mosquito net in response to an unfolding start instruction received by the smart mosquito net;

[0049] In step S20, a delay action instruction is sent to the smart mosquito net; the delay action instruction is used to instruct the smart mosquito net to start to perform an unfolding action after a first preset time period;

[0050] In step S40, air is blown towards the area where the smart mosquito net is located until a first preset time period is reached.

[0051] The air conditioner of the application is particularly communicatively connected with a smart mosquito net in a same environment space as the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can obtain the unfolding action signal of the smart mosquito net at any time, thereby detecting the state of the smart mosquito net.

[0052] The air conditioner of the application sends a delay action instruction to the smart mosquito net immediately when the unfolding start signal sent by the smart mosquito net is received, to instruct the smart mosquito net to perform an unfolding action after a time period. During the time period, the air conditioner continuously blows air towards the area where the smart mosquito net is located, so that the mosquitoes possibly existing in the area where the smart mosquito net is located can be effectively driven away by the air flow blown towards the smart mosquito net. After the time period ends, the smart mosquito net can avoid the risk of trapping mosquitoes inside the smart mosquito net to cause the user to be bitten when the smart mosquito net performs the unfolding action.

[0053] The air conditioner of the application intelligently drives away the mosquitoes in the area where the smart mosquito net is located by using the blowing function of the air conditioner, without the need for the user to drive or catch the mosquitoes, and the degree of intelligence is high.

[0054] In some embodiments, the step of blowing air towards the area where the smart mosquito net is located can specifically comprise:

[0055] The space position where the smart mosquito net is located, and the size of the smart mosquito net are obtained.

[0056] determining a region range in which the smart mosquito net is located according to the spatial position of the smart mosquito net and the size of the smart mosquito net; and

[0057] adjusting a wind guide mechanism of the air conditioner to direct air supply or air sweeping toward the determined region range.

[0058] That is, the spatial position of the smart mosquito net and the size of the smart mosquito net can be intelligently acquired by using the infrared and image acquisition devices of the air conditioner itself, so as to more accurately determine the region range in which the smart mosquito net is located, and more accurately direct air supply to the region range.

[0059] In some embodiments, the step of blowing air toward the region in which the smart mosquito net is located further comprises:

[0060] adjusting the rotating speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner to the highest rotating speed.

[0061] That is, during the process of blowing air toward the smart mosquito net, the rotating speed of the indoor fan is the highest, so that the air blown to the region in which the smart mosquito net is located is more powerful and has a higher flow rate, thereby more effectively driving away mosquitoes in the region in which the smart mosquito net is located.

[0062] In some embodiments, if the air conditioner is in a standby state before the deployment start signal is received, then before blowing air toward the region in which the smart mosquito net is located, the control method of the present application further comprises:

[0063] starting the air conditioner to run according to the running mode of the last time when the air conditioner runs.

[0064] It can be understood that the step of starting the air conditioner to run according to the running mode of the last time when the air conditioner runs can be executed after the air conditioner issues the delay action instruction, or can be executed before the air conditioner issues the delay action instruction.

[0065] Specifically, the running mode of the last time when the air conditioner runs is more in line with the recent use demand of the user, and thus starting the air conditioner to run according to the running mode of the last time when the air conditioner runs can avoid bringing an uncomfortable sensory experience to the user due to the running of the air conditioner.

[0066] In some embodiments, after blowing air toward the region in which the smart mosquito net is located until the first preset time length is reached, the control method of the present application further comprises:

[0067] restoring the running state of the air conditioner to the state before the deployment start signal is received.

[0068] Specifically, the first preset time length is the time for which the smart mosquito net is delayed to be deployed.

[0069] Preferably, the first preset time length can be obtained according to experience or experiment, and the selection of the first preset time length is to achieve the reference target that the air flow blown to the area where the intelligent mosquito net is located can completely drive away mosquitoes when the time reaches the first preset time length.

[0070] When the time of blowing air to the area where the intelligent mosquito net is located reaches the first preset time length, the intelligent mosquito net starts to perform the unfolding action, and the air conditioner returns to the previous operation mode or returns to the previous standby state, so as to avoid the bad experience of the user caused by the air conditioner blowing air to drive away mosquitoes.

[0071] In some embodiments, if the air conditioner is in the set operation mode before the unfolding start signal is received, after the air flow is blown to the area where the intelligent mosquito net is located until the first preset time length is reached, the control method of the application further comprises:

[0072] Adjusting the operation parameter of the air conditioner to switch the air conditioner to the anti-direct blowing mode to avoid blowing air to the intelligent mosquito net.

[0073] The inventor realizes that when the intelligent mosquito net performs the unfolding action, the mosquito net gradually surrounds the entire bed area from top to bottom or gradually surrounds the entire bed area from one side of the bed to the other side, and in this process, if the cold air blown by the air conditioner blows on the mosquito net, the mosquito net is easily blown up, resulting in that the mosquito net cannot normally surround the entire bed area or form a gap, so that an effective anti-mosquito safety zone cannot be formed in the bed area.

[0074] Therefore, when the intelligent mosquito net starts to perform the unfolding action after the delay ends, the air conditioner of the application switches to the anti-direct blowing mode by adjusting the operation parameter, so as to avoid blowing air to the intelligent mosquito net, that is, the cold air will not directly blow to the intelligent mosquito net, and almost no unexpected deformation occurs during the unfolding process of the intelligent mosquito net, so that the intelligent mosquito net can normally and completely surround the entire bed area to form a closed anti-mosquito safety zone, and the anti-mosquito effect of the intelligent mosquito net is avoided to be reduced due to the blowing of the air conditioner.

[0075] Specifically, Figure 2 is a schematic flow chart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the application. In another specific embodiment, the control method of the application can specifically comprise:

[0076] Step S10, receiving an unfolding start signal sent by the intelligent mosquito net; the unfolding start signal is generated by the intelligent mosquito net in response to the unfolding start instruction received by the intelligent mosquito net;

[0077] Step S20, sending a delay action instruction to the intelligent mosquito net; the delay action instruction is used to instruct the intelligent mosquito net to start to perform the unfolding action after delaying for a first preset time length;

[0078] Step S31, judging whether the air conditioner is in the standby state; if yes, turning to step S32; if no, turning to step S402;

[0079] Step S32, starting the air conditioner to run according to the running mode of the last time the air conditioner runs;

[0080] Step S401, blowing air towards the area where the smart mosquito net is located;

[0081] Step S501, determining whether the first preset time length is reached; if yes, turning to step S601, and if no, returning to continue determining;

[0082] Step S601, controlling the air conditioner to return to the standby state;

[0083] Step S402, blowing air towards the area where the smart mosquito net is located;

[0084] Step S502, determining whether the first preset time length is reached; if yes, turning to step S602, and if no, returning to continue determining;

[0085] Step S602, adjusting the running parameter of the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner is switched to the anti-direct-blowing mode of avoiding blowing air towards the smart mosquito net.

[0086] In some embodiments, the air conditioner has a direct blowing mode for air flow to be blown directly from the air outlet thereof, and a windless blowing mode for air flow blown from the air outlet to be dispersed.

[0087] It can be understood that the direct blowing mode and the windless blowing mode are two different blowing modes of the air conditioner. In the direct blowing mode, air flow is blown directly from the air outlet, and the wind speed is fast, which is suitable for a fast cooling mode or a fast heating mode. In the windless blowing mode, air flow blown from the air outlet is dispersed, so that the blowing is softer, and the user almost feels no wind, which is more comfortable.

[0088] In these embodiments, the step of adjusting the running parameter of the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner is switched to the anti-direct-blowing mode of avoiding blowing air towards the smart mosquito net can specifically include:

[0089] Adjusting the blowing mode of the air conditioner to the windless blowing mode.

[0090] Since the blowing mode of the air conditioner has been fundamentally changed, the air flow blown by the air conditioner has no regular directionality, and will not generate a large force on the smart mosquito net, so that the smart mosquito net can be prevented from being deformed due to the action of wind force during the unfolding process, and the smart mosquito net can be ensured to normally and completely surround the entire bed area to form a closed and effective anti-mosquito safety zone.

[0091] Figure 3 and Figure 4 are respectively schematic structural diagrams of an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application in different states. In some embodiments, referring toFigure 3 and Figure 4 The air conditioner has a first air guide structure 10 with a plurality of air holes 11 for air flow to pass through. The first air guide structure 10 is movably arranged at the air outlet 40 and has a first state (see Figure 3 ) in which the air flow path of the air outlet 40 is not blocked, and a second state (see Figure 4 ) in which the air flow path of the air outlet 40 is blocked.

[0092] In these embodiments, the step of adjusting the air supply mode of the air conditioner to the windless air supply mode can specifically include:

[0093] Adjusting the first air guide structure 10 to the first state.

[0094] When the first air guide structure 10 is in the first state, the air flow from the air outlet 40 passes through the plurality of air holes 11 on the first air guide structure 10 when encountering the first air guide structure 10, dispersing the air flow and reducing the wind speed, achieving the purpose of windless.

[0095] When the first air guide structure 10 is in the second state, the air flow from the air outlet 40 can be directly blown out, and at this time the air conditioner is in a direct air supply mode.

[0096] Figure 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 The air conditioner can also have a second air guide structure 30 which is rotatably arranged at the air outlet 40 of the air conditioner for adjusting the air outlet direction of the air outlet 40 in the up-down direction.

[0097] In these embodiments, the step of adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner to switch the air conditioner from the set operating mode to the direct-blowing-preventing mode for avoiding air supply to the smart mosquito net can specifically include:

[0098] Adjusting the second air guide structure 30 to a posture of blowing air towards the top.

[0099] That is to say, for the air conditioner with the second air guide structure 30, the direct-blowing-preventing mode can be blowing air towards the top by the second air guide structure 30.

[0100] Since the second air guide structure 30 is in the posture of blowing air towards the top, the air flow blown out of the air outlet 40 is guided upwards to blow towards the top and will not blow towards the smart mosquito net to generate a large force on the smart mosquito net, so that the smart mosquito net can be prevented from being deformed due to the action of wind during the unfolding process, ensuring that the smart mosquito net normally and completely surrounds the entire bed area to form a closed and effective anti-mosquito safety zone.

[0101] In some embodiments, after adjusting the operating parameter of the air conditioner to switch the air conditioner to the anti-direct-blow mode to avoid the air supply of the smart mosquito net, the control method of the present application further comprises:

[0102] receiving the unfolding stop signal sent by the smart mosquito net; the unfolding stop signal is generated after the smart mosquito net completes the unfolding action according to the unfolding start instruction; and

[0103] resuming the air conditioner to the set operating mode so that the air conditioner continues to operate according to the set operating mode.

[0104] After the air conditioner receives the unfolding stop signal sent by the smart mosquito net, it indicates that the smart mosquito net has completed the unfolding action according to the unfolding start instruction and is in a stationary state. At this time, the cold wind blown by the air conditioner will not have an adverse effect on the state of the smart mosquito net even if it blows towards the smart mosquito net.

[0105] Therefore, after receiving the unfolding stop signal, the air conditioner of the present application resumes the air conditioner to the set operating mode, which not only does not have an adverse effect on the smart mosquito net, but also resumes the set operating mode previously set by the user as soon as possible, avoiding affecting the user's cooling use experience.

[0106] Specifically, Figure 6 is a schematic flow chart of a control method of an air conditioner according to still another embodiment of the present application. In another specific embodiment, the control method of the present application can specifically comprise:

[0107] Step S10, receiving the unfolding start signal sent by the smart mosquito net; the unfolding start signal is generated by the smart mosquito net in response to the unfolding start instruction received by the smart mosquito net;

[0108] Step S20, sending a delay action instruction to the smart mosquito net; the delay action instruction is used to instruct the smart mosquito net to delay for a first preset time period before starting to perform the unfolding action;

[0109] Step S31, determining whether the air conditioner is in a standby state; if yes, proceeding to step S32; if no, proceeding to step S402;

[0110] Step S32, starting the air conditioner to operate according to the operating mode of the last operation of the air conditioner;

[0111] Step S401, blowing air towards the area where the smart mosquito net is located;

[0112] Step S501, determining whether the first preset time period is reached; if yes, proceeding to step S601, if no, returning to continue determining;

[0113] Step S601, controlling the air conditioner to resume the standby state;

[0114] Step S402, blowing air towards the area where the smart mosquito net is located;

[0115] Step S502, determining whether the first preset time length is reached; if yes, turning to step S602, if no, returning to continue determining;

[0116] Step S602, adjusting the operation parameter of the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner switches to the anti-direct blowing mode to avoid the air supply of the smart mosquito net;

[0117] Step S702, determining whether the unfolding stop signal is received; if yes, turning to step S802; if no, returning to continue determining; and

[0118] Step S802, controlling the air conditioner to restore the set operation mode.

[0119] The application further provides an air conditioner, which is in communication connection with a smart mosquito net in the same environment space. Figure 7 is a schematic structural block diagram of the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the application, referring to Figure 7 The air conditioner 1 comprises a control device 20, the control device 20 comprises a processor 21 and a memory 22, the memory 22 stores a machine executable program 23, and the machine executable program 23 is used to realize the control method described in any of the above embodiments when executed by the processor 21.

[0120] Specifically, the processor 21 can be a central processing unit (CPU) or a digital processing unit, etc. The processor 21 transmits and receives data through a communication interface. The memory 22 is used to store the program executed by the processor 21. The memory 22 is any medium capable of carrying or storing desired program codes in the form of instructions or data structures and capable of being accessed by a computer, and can also be a combination of multiple memories. The above machine executable program 23 can be downloaded to the corresponding computing / processing device from the computer readable storage medium or downloaded to the computer or external storage device via a network (such as the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network and / or a wireless network).

[0121] The air conditioner of the application is particularly in communication connection with a smart mosquito net in the same environment space, so that the air conditioner can obtain the unfolding action signal of the smart mosquito net at any time, thereby detecting the state of the smart mosquito net.

[0122] The air conditioner of the present application sends a delay action instruction to the smart mosquito net immediately when receiving the unfolding starting signal sent by the smart mosquito net, to instruct the smart mosquito net to perform the unfolding action after a delay for a period of time. During the delay period, the air conditioner continuously blows air towards the area where the smart mosquito net is located, so that the mosquitoes that may exist in the area where the smart mosquito net is located can be effectively driven away by the air flow blowing towards the smart mosquito net. After the delay ends, the smart mosquito net can avoid the risk of trapping mosquitoes inside the smart mosquito net and causing the user to be bitten when performing the unfolding action again.

[0123] The present application ingeniously utilizes the air blowing function of the air conditioner to intelligently drive away the mosquitoes in the area where the smart mosquito net is located, without the need for the user to personally drive or capture, and has a high degree of intelligence.
