[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments 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.
[0061] An embodiment of this application provides a method for controlling an air conditioner. Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-described air conditioner control method can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The hardware environment shown consists of terminal 101 and server 102. For example... Figure 1 As shown, server 102 is connected to terminal 101 via a network and can be used to provide services (such as application services) to the terminal or clients installed on the terminal. A database can be set up on the server or independently of the server to provide data storage services for server 102. The network mentioned above includes, but is not limited to, wide area network, metropolitan area network or local area network. Terminal 101 is not limited to any kind of air conditioner, especially bathroom air conditioner.
[0062] The air conditioner control method of this application embodiment can be executed by server 102, terminal 101, or jointly by server 102 and terminal 101. The air conditioner control method of this application embodiment can be executed by terminal 101, or by a client installed on it.
[0063] Taking the air conditioner control method of this application embodiment as an example, Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an optional air conditioner control method according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the process of this method may include the following steps:
[0064] Step 201: Monitor the user status information and the current environmental parameters of the bathroom.
[0065] In some embodiments, the user status information may be the user's status in the bathroom, such as the user being active in the bathroom, the user not being active in the bathroom, or the user taking a shower in the bathroom.
[0066] Current environmental parameters may include, but are not limited to: bathroom temperature, microbial content and location, concentration of gases in the air, and air humidity. These gases include, but are not limited to, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, ammonia, and formaldehyde.
[0067] Specifically, monitoring devices can be installed on air conditioners or in certain areas of the bathroom. Examples include temperature and humidity sensors, gas concentration detectors, microbial detectors, and radar detection devices.
[0068] Among them, the radar detection device can be used to monitor whether a user enters the bathroom and how long the user stays in the bathroom.
[0069] Multiple microbial detectors can be installed in the bathroom, dividing the bathroom into N 1cm*1cm*1cm cubes. The microbial content above the 1cm*1cm area on the ground is determined by methods such as sedimentation. The center of each cube above the area with excessive content is determined as the location that needs to be sterilized / disinfected. The coordinates of the center of the cube that needs to be sterilized / disinfected are (x1, y1, z1).
[0070] In one optional embodiment, monitoring user status information in the bathroom includes:
[0071] Monitor the duration of the user's time in the bathroom;
[0072] If the duration exceeds the first preset duration, the user status information is determined to indicate that the user is active in the bathroom.
[0073] If the duration is not greater than the first preset duration, the user status information is determined to be that the user is not active in the bathroom.
[0074] The first preset duration can be set to a fixed value according to the actual situation, or it can be adjusted by setting an adjustment method on the air conditioner. For example, the first preset duration can be set to two minutes.
[0075] In an optional embodiment, monitoring user status information in the bathroom may further include:
[0076] Monitor the water supply duration of the bathroom water heater, or monitor the user's body surface humidity;
[0077] If the duration of water flow exceeds the second preset duration, or if the surface humidity is greater than the preset humidity, the user status information is determined to be that the user is in a bathing state.
[0078] In some embodiments, the second preset duration can also be set according to the time, for example, it can be set to 30 seconds; the preset humidity can also be set according to the time, for example, it can be set to 50%.
[0079] Among them, the water output time of the water heater can be sent to the air conditioner by the water heater, and the humidity of the user's body surface can be obtained by the temperature and humidity sensor closest to the user and sent to the air conditioner.
[0080] Step 202: Based on the user status information and the current environmental parameters, determine the air conditioner's operating mode and target environmental parameters.
[0081] In some embodiments, the user's status information presented in the bathroom differs. Furthermore, the air conditioner's operating mode will be adjusted accordingly to meet the user's needs in different states depending on the current environmental parameters.
[0082] In an optional embodiment, the user status information includes whether the user is active in the bathroom or not, and the current environmental parameters include the bathroom temperature. Based on the user status information and the current environmental parameters, the operating mode and target environmental parameters of the air conditioner are determined, including:
[0083] If the user is not active in the bathroom, and the current environmental parameters are within the environmental parameter index range, the working mode is determined to be the sleep mode; if the current environmental parameters are not within the environmental parameter index range, the target environmental parameter is determined to be the environmental parameter index, and the working mode is the environmental purification state.
[0084] While the user is active in the bathroom, the operating mode is determined based on the bathroom temperature, and the target environmental parameter is determined to be the environmental parameter corresponding to the operating mode.
[0085] In some embodiments, the air conditioner is set to sleep mode when the user is not in the bathroom. Since the bathroom is empty, putting the air conditioner into sleep mode avoids power consumption and extends its lifespan. However, if the current environmental parameters are not within the specified range, it indicates that the current bathroom environment quality is poor. To ensure a better environment for the user when entering the bathroom, the air conditioner is set to environmental purification mode to purify the bathroom environment and bring it up to the aforementioned environmental parameter range.
[0086] When users are in the bathroom, the air conditioner's operating mode can be further determined based on the bathroom temperature, thus enabling more precise control of the air conditioner.
[0087] It is understandable that a user's activity in the bathroom could mean that the user is in the bathroom without moving, or that the user is walking around in the bathroom, or that the user is taking a shower in the bathroom.
[0088] Among them, the environmental parameter indicators can be the range of various environmental parameters under normal conditions, and their specific indicator values can be referred to Table 1 below.
[0089] Table 1
[0090]
[0091] In an optional embodiment, determining the operating mode based on the bathroom temperature includes:
[0092] If the bathroom temperature is higher than the first preset temperature, the operating mode is determined to be the cooling mode;
[0093] If the bathroom temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, the operating mode is determined to be the heating mode; the second preset temperature is lower than the first preset temperature.
[0094] When the bathroom temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature and less than or equal to the first preset temperature, the operating mode is determined to be the air supply mode.
[0095] In some embodiments, the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the first preset temperature is 26 degrees and the second preset temperature is 20 degrees.
[0096] Understandably, different working modes can be set according to different bathroom temperatures.
[0097] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments, when it is determined that the user is in a showering state, the working mode of the air conditioner is determined to be the showering mode.
[0098] When the air conditioner is in shower mode, you can set the air conditioner speed to the lowest value, the air volume to the minimum value, the fan speed to low, and the air conditioner outlet temperature to the target temperature in the target environment parameters plus 2℃.
[0099] If the user is not in a shower, the air conditioner can be set to cooling mode, heating mode, and fan mode. In these modes, the air volume can be set to the midpoint between the maximum and minimum air volume, the speed can be set to the midpoint, the fan speed can be set to medium, and the air conditioner outlet temperature can be set to the target temperature.
[0100] In an optional embodiment, determining the target environmental parameter as the environmental parameter corresponding to the working mode includes:
[0101] Obtain the pre-established correspondence between environmental parameters and working modes;
[0102] From the correspondence, the target environmental parameters corresponding to the working mode are determined.
[0103] In some embodiments, this correspondence may be set by relevant technical personnel based on actual circumstances or experience.
[0104] For example, taking target environmental parameters including target bathroom temperature T, target humidity S, target oxygen concentration C(O2), and target carbon dioxide concentration C(CO2) as an example, the following correspondence can be set:
[0105] Heating mode: 16℃≤T≤26℃, 19.5%<C(O2)<23.5%, C(CO2)<0.15%, 30%≤S≤40%;
[0106] Cooling mode: 24℃≤T≤27℃, 19.5%<C(O2)<23.5%, C(CO2)<0.15%, 40%≤S≤50%;
[0107] Air supply mode: 19.5% < C(O2) < 23.5%, C(CO2) < 0.15%, 30% ≤ S ≤ 50%.
[0108] Step 203: Control the air conditioner to operate in the working mode so that the current environmental parameters in the bathroom reach the target environmental parameters.
[0109] In some embodiments, after the operating mode of the air conditioner is determined, the air conditioner can operate according to that operating mode, thereby adjusting the bathroom environmental parameters to achieve the target environmental parameters.
[0110] In an optional embodiment, controlling the air conditioner to operate in the operating mode includes:
[0111] The system obtains the user's location information and a preset windbreak distance, which includes a first distance above the user's head and a second distance from the user's feet to the direction of the air conditioner.
[0112] The air outlet angle of the air conditioner is determined based on the location information and the wind shelter distance;
[0113] The air conditioner is controlled to operate in the specified working mode according to the specified air outlet angle.
[0114] In some embodiments, by setting a wind-avoidance distance, the air conditioner can avoid blowing air directly onto the user's body to prevent discomfort.
[0115] Among them, the user's location information can be detected by radar detection device and then sent to the air conditioner.
[0116] For example, see Figure 3 The first distance can be set to h, the second distance to s, the user's location information to (x, y, z), and the height of the air conditioner vent to H (which can be pre-stored in the database). See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 The air outlet angle can be:
[0117] In cooling mode, the air conditioner blows air from above, with an air outlet angle α = arctan{(Hhz) / x};
[0118] In heating mode, the air conditioner blows air from below, with an air outlet angle β = arctan{(xs) / H}.
[0119] In an optional embodiment, the current environmental parameters further include at least one of the following: microbial content and location of microorganisms, concentration of gases in the air, and air humidity;
[0120] The control of the air conditioner to operate in the operating mode includes at least one of the following:
[0121] Control the sterilization device in the air conditioner to sterilize the location of the microorganisms;
[0122] Control the air purification device in the air conditioner to purify the concentration of the gas;
[0123] Control the dehumidification device in the air conditioner to dehumidify the air.
[0124] In some embodiments, sterilization can be performed using ultraviolet germicidal lamps or disinfection devices installed inside the air conditioner. When the air conditioner detects that the content of harmful microorganisms such as bacteria in a certain area (x1, y1, z1) of the bathroom exceeds the normal value of 1000 CFU / m3 set by the system, the air conditioner controls the irradiation direction of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp or the spray angle of the disinfectant to disinfect and sterilize this location.
[0125] Among them, the aforementioned microorganisms can be harmful microorganisms.
[0126] See Figure 5 a and Figure 5 b, γ=arctan{x1 / (H-z1)}, δ=arctan(x1 / y1); where γ represents the front-to-back angle of the air conditioner, δ represents the left-to-right angle of the air conditioner, and γ and δ together determine the irradiation direction or spray angle.
[0127] By calculating the irradiation direction and spray angle of the location of microorganisms, ultraviolet irradiation and disinfection with disinfectant are applied to that location, thereby reducing the bacterial content and protecting the health of users.
[0128] When the air conditioner detects that the concentration of gas in the air does not meet the system's preset normal value, the regulating device controls the air conditioner to exhaust the polluted indoor air, draw in fresh outdoor air and filter out dust and other substances, thus purifying the bathroom.
[0129] When the air conditioner detects high humidity in the bathroom, it turns on the dehumidification function to expel the humid air from the room and dry the bathroom.
[0130] In an optional embodiment, the user status information includes the user's activities in the bathroom and the user's first physiological parameters. The step of determining the air conditioner's operating mode and target environmental parameters based on the user status information and the current environmental parameters includes:
[0131] If the first physiological parameter is not within the user's preset physiological parameter range, the working mode is determined to be the startup mode, and the target environmental parameter is determined to be an environmental parameter that enables the first physiological parameter to be within the preset physiological parameter range.
[0132] In some embodiments, by acquiring the user's physiological parameters, the air conditioner can monitor changes in various physiological parameters of the user's body in real time while the user is active in the bathroom (normal physical indicators of different users, such as body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate are recorded in the memory). When abnormalities or large fluctuations occur, that is, when the user's physical indicators are abnormal, the target environmental parameters will be further adjusted according to the user's physical condition information to obtain a new target environmental parameter range. At the same time, the air conditioner's operating parameters will be adjusted so that the bathroom environmental parameters are kept within the new target environmental parameter range.
[0133] For example, when a user experiences excessively rapid breathing or a high heart rate, the target temperature and target oxygen concentration should be appropriately increased, while the target carbon dioxide concentration should be appropriately decreased. (When a user's breathing rate or heart rate fluctuates significantly within one minute (sudden increase or decrease), it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient oxygen available for the user to inhale. High carbon dioxide concentration can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, headache, and dizziness, which can harm the user's health. Therefore, indoor air quality can be improved by controlling the operation of the air conditioner.)
[0134] Oxygen generators can be installed in air conditioners to supply oxygen into the room, thereby increasing the oxygen concentration. Alternatively, fresh air systems can be used to draw in fresh outdoor air, filter out dust and other substances, regulate the temperature, and then supply it indoors. This increases the indoor oxygen concentration, removes polluted indoor air, reduces carbon dioxide concentration, and keeps the actual indoor gas concentration within the target range.
[0135] When the user's body temperature is too high, the target temperature is appropriately lowered from the previous level; when the user's body surface humidity is too low, the target air humidity is appropriately increased from the previous level. The target environmental parameters can be increased or decreased in a gradient, for example, with a temperature gradient of 1°C, an oxygen concentration gradient of 0.5%, a carbon dioxide concentration gradient of 0.05%, and an air humidity gradient of 2%.
[0136] In an optional embodiment, after the air conditioner is operated in the operating mode, the control further includes:
[0137] Monitor the user's second physiological parameters;
[0138] An alarm will be triggered if the second physiological parameter is outside the preset physiological parameter range.
[0139] In some embodiments, after monitoring the user's physiological parameters for a period of time, it can be determined whether the user's body has recovered. If the second physiological parameter is not within the preset physiological parameter range, it indicates that the user may have an accident and can immediately call and alarm the system through the preset emergency contact. If the second physiological parameter is within the preset physiological parameter range, the air conditioner continues to operate according to the above procedure.
[0140] In one specific embodiment, see Figure 6 The control method of this application can be implemented in the following ways:
[0141] The air conditioner uses a radar detection device to monitor whether there is user activity in the bathroom. If there is user activity, it determines whether the user's activity time in the bathroom is t≥t0. If yes, the air conditioner turns on; otherwise, the air conditioner enters sleep mode / turns off. Here, t0 is a preset duration. If there is no user activity, it checks whether various environmental indicators in the bathroom are normal. If yes, the air conditioner enters sleep mode / turns off; otherwise, the air conditioner enters unattended mode and adjusts the bathroom environment to maintain a comfortable and healthy environment. When the air conditioner detects that a user has entered or the bathroom environment has been adjusted, it immediately stops the current working mode.
[0142] For example, if an air conditioner is equipped with an ultraviolet germicidal lamp or disinfection device, when the air conditioner detects that the content of harmful microorganisms such as bacteria in a certain area of the bathroom (x1, y1, z1) exceeds the normal value of 1000 CFU / m3 set by the system, the regulating device will control the irradiation direction of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp or the spray angle of the disinfectant to disinfect and sterilize this location. The irradiation / spray angle γ=arctan{x1 / (H-z1)}, δ=arctan(x1 / y1).
[0143] The air conditioner's operating mode is determined based on the initial indoor temperature: cooling mode for an initial indoor temperature above 26℃; heating mode for an initial indoor temperature below 20℃; and fan mode for an initial indoor temperature between 20℃ and 26℃. Alternatively, users can set the air conditioner's operating mode according to their needs for different initial temperatures.
[0144] Based on the air conditioning operating mode, set the corresponding target environmental parameter range (i.e., the range of environmental parameters that are most comfortable for the user under the current air conditioning operating mode; this data is stored in the air conditioning database and can be modified by the user as needed; subsequent adjustments to the target environmental parameters will be made within this range): target environmental temperature T, oxygen concentration C (O2), carbon dioxide concentration C (CO2), and air humidity S. The target environmental parameter ranges set for different operating modes are as follows:
[0145] (1) Heating mode: 16℃≤T≤26℃, 19.5%<C(O2)<23.5%, C(CO2)<0.15%, 30%≤S≤40%;
[0146] (2) Cooling mode: 24℃≤T≤27℃, 19.5%<C(O2)<23.5%, C(CO2)<0.15%, 40%≤S≤50%;
[0147] (3) Air supply mode: 19.5% < C(O2) < 23.5%, C(CO2) < 0.15%, 30% ≤ S ≤ 50%;
[0148] The system obtains user location information (x, y, z) through radar detection, sets the air outlet area to avoid the user's location, and sets the air outlet angles α and β in cooling mode and the air outlet angles α and β in heating mode.
[0149] For example, if the height of the air conditioner outlet is H, and the distance between the edge of the air outlet area and the human body is h and s (this distance can be set by the user as needed), the air outlet angle of the air conditioner in cooling mode can be determined as α = arctan{(Hhz) / x}, and the air outlet angle of the air conditioner in heating mode is β = arctan{(xs) / H}.
[0150] The system detects the user's activity status and obtains information such as body surface humidity to determine if the user is in a shower. If the user is showering, the air conditioner activates the shower mode (in shower mode: the air conditioner speed is set to the lowest value, the air volume is the lowest value, the fan speed is low, the air conditioner outlet temperature T_out - the target ambient temperature T = 2℃, and the air outlet angles α and β are calculated using the formula above; the purpose is to prevent the user from catching a cold while showering and thus affecting their health. (Due to differences in energy efficiency and nominal parameters of different air conditioners, the specific values for speed, air volume, and fan speed are not listed here)). To prevent the user from catching a cold from the airflow while showering, in this mode, the air conditioner speed is set to the lowest value, the air volume is the lowest value, the fan speed is low, the air conditioner outlet temperature T_out - the target ambient temperature T = 2℃, and the air outlet angles α and β are calculated using the formula above.
[0151] If the user is not in the shower stage, the air conditioner enters the normal operating mode. In this mode, the air volume is set to the midpoint between the maximum and minimum air volume, the speed is set to the midpoint, the fan speed is set to the medium setting, the air conditioner outlet temperature T_out = the target ambient temperature T, and the outlet angles α and β are calculated using the formulas above, which can also be adjusted by the user as needed.
[0152] Acquire real-time environmental parameters of the bathroom: temperature T0, oxygen concentration C0 (O2), carbon dioxide concentration C0 (CO2), and air humidity S0. Take the median value of the set target environmental parameters and calculate the difference between the real-time environmental parameters and the target environmental parameters. Based on the above information, adjust the operating parameters of the air conditioner to bring the real-time environmental parameters to the target environmental parameter range.
[0153] While users are active in the bathroom, the air conditioner monitors changes in various bodily indicators in real time (the memory stores normal bodily indicators for different users, such as body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate). When abnormalities or large fluctuations occur, indicating that the user's bodily indicators are not normal, the air conditioner will further adjust the target environmental parameter range based on the user's bodily condition information to obtain a new target environmental parameter range. At the same time, the air conditioner's operating parameters will be adjusted to keep the bathroom environmental parameters within the new target environmental parameter range.
[0154] For example, when a user experiences excessively rapid breathing or a high heart rate, the target ambient temperature should be appropriately increased, the target oxygen concentration should be appropriately increased, and the target carbon dioxide concentration should be appropriately decreased. (When a user's breathing rate or heart rate fluctuates significantly within one minute (sudden increase or decrease), it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient oxygen available for the user to inhale. High carbon dioxide concentration can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, headache, and dizziness, which can harm the user's health. Therefore, indoor air quality can be improved by controlling the operation of the air conditioner.)
[0155] An oxygen generator can be installed in the air conditioner to increase the oxygen concentration indoors. A fresh air system can draw in fresh outdoor air, filter out dust and other substances, adjust the temperature, and then supply it indoors to increase the oxygen concentration, expel polluted air, reduce carbon dioxide concentration, and maintain the actual gas concentration indoors within the target range.
[0156] When the user's body temperature is too high, the target ambient temperature is appropriately lowered from the previous level; when the user's skin humidity is too low, the target air humidity is appropriately increased from the previous level. (The target environmental parameters can be increased or decreased in a gradient, such as temperature changing in a 1°C gradient, oxygen concentration changing in a 0.5% gradient, carbon dioxide concentration changing in a 0.05% gradient, and air humidity changing in a 2% gradient, etc.)
[0157] Check if the user's physical condition has returned to normal or is in the process of returning to normal. If not, the user may have an accident; immediately contact emergency contacts and call the police. If yes, the air conditioner will continue to operate according to the above procedure.
[0158] The air conditioning control method of this application can maintain a healthy and comfortable bathroom environment, ensuring a pleasant experience for users whenever they enter the bathroom. When the bathroom is unoccupied, it can monitor various environmental indicators in real time to ensure they meet standard ranges and adjust any indicators that do not meet the standards. It can determine the user's activity level and set appropriate target environmental parameters based on the real-time bathroom environment and the user's physical indicators. By controlling the air conditioning operating parameters, it ensures that the environmental parameters reach the target values. When the user is using the air conditioner, it can automatically adjust its operating parameters according to the actual environment and the user's physical condition. When the bathroom is unoccupied, it automatically adjusts the bathroom environment, meeting the user's requirements for intelligent air conditioning and ensuring a pleasant and comfortable experience for users whenever they enter the bathroom.
