Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioner control method, an air conditioner control device, an air conditioner, and a readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people's demands for their surroundings and quality of life are also gradually increasing. In particular, air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance in people's lives, and expectations for air conditioners are no longer limited to the traditional basic functions of cooling and heating, but rather higher demands are being placed on the performance of air conditioners.

[0003] Current air conditioners require users to repeatedly adjust them via remote control to achieve optimal cooling performance, which is cumbersome and negatively impacts user comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention solves the technical problem that traditional air conditioners require users to repeatedly adjust them via remote control, which is cumbersome and affects user comfort.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a control method for an air conditioner. The control method includes: controlling the air conditioner to start operation; acquiring the indoor ambient temperature and a first operating current; determining whether the air conditioner has entered cooling mode based on the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature; if so, adjusting the first operating current to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner.

[0006] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: Different indoor ambient temperatures correspond to different indoor loads. By comparing the indoor ambient temperature with the set temperature, the system can determine whether the current indoor ambient temperature meets the user's set requirements and whether the air conditioner needs to activate its cooling boost mode. This adjusts the first operating current to control the start and stop of the air conditioner's cooling boost mode, ensuring user comfort. Without increasing costs, and based on existing logic, this solution determines the cooling demand by judging the indoor ambient temperature and the difference between it and the set temperature, thus achieving a cooling boost function. This results in better cooling performance, improved user comfort, and avoids the drawbacks of repeated remote control adjustments required by some users seeking optimal air conditioner performance.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, determining whether the air conditioner should enter the cooling activation action based on the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature includes: determining the relationship between the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature and a temperature difference threshold; when the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature is greater than the temperature difference threshold, the air conditioner needs to enter the cooling activation action; and / or, when the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, the air conditioner does not need to enter the cooling activation action.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: When the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature is greater than the temperature difference threshold, the current indoor ambient temperature does not meet the user's set requirements, and the current cooling capacity of the air conditioner does not meet the requirements. In this case, the air conditioner needs to enter the cooling boost mode at this time, thereby increasing the cooling capacity of the air conditioner by increasing the first operating current at the current moment. When the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, the current indoor ambient temperature is close to the user's set requirements. In this case, the air conditioner does not need to enter the cooling boost mode, and the air conditioner can operate according to the first operating current.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, adjusting the first operating current to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner includes:

[0010] Based on the comparison between the indoor ambient temperature and the indoor ambient temperature threshold, the current coefficient is obtained, including: when the indoor ambient temperature is greater than the first indoor ambient temperature threshold, the current coefficient is the first current coefficient; and / or, when the indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the first indoor ambient temperature threshold but greater than the second indoor ambient temperature threshold, the current coefficient is the second current coefficient; and / or, when the indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the second indoor ambient temperature threshold, the current coefficient is the third current coefficient; wherein, the first indoor ambient temperature threshold > the second indoor ambient temperature threshold, and the first current coefficient > the second current coefficient > the third current coefficient.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: By comparing the indoor ambient temperature with an indoor ambient temperature threshold, it is possible to accurately determine whether the current indoor ambient temperature is high, moderate, or low, thereby determining the current coefficient; by judging whether the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature is greater than the temperature difference threshold, it is possible to accurately determine whether the current indoor ambient temperature meets the user's set requirements, whether the air conditioner needs to enter cooling mode, and whether the first operating current needs to be changed to change the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. Introducing a first and a second indoor ambient temperature threshold, and setting high and low temperature thresholds, provides a reference range for the indoor ambient temperature. If the indoor ambient temperature is greater than the first indoor ambient temperature threshold, it is determined that the indoor ambient temperature is too high; if the indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the first indoor ambient temperature threshold but greater than the second indoor ambient temperature threshold, it is determined that the indoor ambient temperature is moderate; if the indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the second indoor ambient temperature threshold, it is determined that the indoor ambient temperature is low.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, adjusting the first operating current to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner further includes: adjusting and updating the first operating current according to a current coefficient to obtain a second operating current, so that the air conditioner operates at the second operating current to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner; when the current coefficient is the first current coefficient, the second operating current is the first current coefficient × the first operating current; and / or, when the current coefficient is the second current coefficient, the second operating current is the second current coefficient × the first operating current; and / or, when the current coefficient is the third current coefficient, the second operating current is the third current coefficient × the first operating current; wherein, the second operating current is the updated first operating current.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this technical solution are as follows: the first operating current is adjusted and updated according to the current coefficient to obtain the second operating current, so that the air conditioner operates with the second operating current to improve the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. The first operating current can be adjusted under different indoor ambient temperatures, thereby changing the size of the cooling capacity of the air conditioner.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the control method further includes: if not, the operating current of the air conditioner is restored to the first operating current.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is that the first operating current remains unchanged when the air conditioner does not need to enter the cooling boost mode.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, after adjusting the first operating current of the air conditioner to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner, the method further includes: periodically acquiring the indoor ambient temperature and the first operating current; cyclically determining whether the air conditioner has entered the cooling boost mode based on the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature; and cyclically adjusting the first operating current to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner if the temperature difference is the same.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this technical solution are as follows: by periodically acquiring the indoor ambient temperature and the first operating current, and cyclically executing the operation based on the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature to determine whether the air conditioner has entered the cooling boost mode, if so, the first operating current is adjusted to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. This allows for continuous control of the first operating current, further improving the user experience.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, after the air conditioner is turned on and before the indoor ambient temperature and the first operating current are obtained, the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to run continuously for a first target time.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: When the compressor is first started, the air conditioner is in a non-steady-state cooling phase. At this time, the inner loop temperature sensor has a lag in monitoring, and the measured temperature data is inaccurate. After the air conditioner compressor has been running continuously for the first target time, the air conditioner enters a stable cooling operation phase, and the measured temperature data is more accurate, which can ensure the accuracy and reliability of this method.

[0020] On the other hand, embodiments of the present invention also provide a control device for an air conditioner, the control device comprising: a start-up module for controlling the air conditioner to start and operate; an acquisition module for acquiring the indoor ambient temperature and a first operating current; a judgment module for judging whether the air conditioner has entered the cooling start-up mode based on the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature; and a control module for adjusting the first operating current to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: The control device of the air conditioner in this embodiment is used to implement the control method of the air conditioner as in any embodiment of the present invention, and therefore it has all the beneficial effects of the control method of the air conditioner as in any embodiment of the present invention, which will not be repeated here.

[0022] In another aspect, embodiments of the present invention also provide an air conditioner, the air conditioner including: a processor, a memory, and a program or instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the program or instructions are executed by the processor, the steps of the control method of the air conditioner as described in any of the above embodiments are implemented.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: the air conditioner in this embodiment operates as the air conditioner control method of any embodiment of the present invention, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the air conditioner control method of any embodiment of the present invention, which will not be repeated here.

[0024] In another aspect, embodiments of the present invention also provide a readable storage medium storing a program or instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the air conditioner control method as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The readable storage medium in this embodiment is used to store the control method of the air conditioner as in any embodiment of the present invention, and therefore it has all the beneficial effects of the control method of the air conditioner as in any embodiment of the present invention, which will not be repeated here.

[0026] By adopting the technical solution of the present invention, the following technical effects can be achieved:

[0027] (1) Different indoor ambient temperatures correspond to different indoor loads. By comparing the indoor ambient temperature with the set temperature, it is possible to determine whether the current indoor ambient temperature meets the user's set requirements and whether the air conditioner needs to enter the cooling boost mode based on the relationship between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature. This allows for adjustment of the first operating current, which controls the start and stop of the air conditioner's cooling boost mode, ensuring user comfort. Without increasing costs, based on the existing logic, by judging the indoor ambient temperature and the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature, the cooling demand is determined, thus realizing the air conditioner's cooling boost function. The cooling effect is good, improving user comfort and mitigating the drawbacks of repeated remote control adjustments in scenarios where some users pursue better air conditioner performance.

[0028] (2) Introduce a first indoor ambient temperature threshold and a second indoor ambient temperature threshold. By setting a high temperature threshold and a low temperature threshold, a reference range is provided for the indoor ambient temperature. If the indoor ambient temperature is greater than the first indoor ambient temperature threshold, the indoor ambient temperature is judged to be too high; if the indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the first indoor ambient temperature threshold and greater than the second indoor ambient temperature threshold, the indoor ambient temperature is judged to be moderate; if the indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the second indoor ambient temperature threshold, the indoor ambient temperature is judged to be low.

[0029] (3) By periodically acquiring the indoor ambient temperature and the first operating current, the system continuously executes the operation based on the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature to determine whether the air conditioner has entered the cooling boost mode. If so, the system adjusts the first operating current to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. This allows for continuous control of the first operating current, further improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0037] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] See Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a control method for an air conditioner provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. The control method includes:

[0040] Step S10: Control the air conditioner to start running;

[0041] Step S20: Obtain the indoor ambient temperature and the first operating current;

[0042] Step S30: Determine whether the air conditioner has entered cooling mode based on the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature.

[0043] Step S40: If so, adjust the first operating current to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner.

[0044] It's understandable that different indoor ambient temperatures correspond to different indoor loads. By comparing the indoor ambient temperature with the set temperature, the system can determine whether the current indoor ambient temperature meets the user's set requirements and whether the air conditioner needs to activate its cooling boost mode. This adjusts the first operating current to control the start and stop of the air conditioner's cooling boost mode, ensuring user comfort. Without increasing costs, and based on existing logic, this system determines the cooling demand by judging the indoor ambient temperature and the difference between it and the set temperature, thus achieving a cooling boost function. This results in better cooling performance, improved user comfort, and avoids the drawbacks of repeated remote control adjustments for users seeking better air conditioning performance. The first operating current refers to the operating current of the air conditioner at a specific moment.

[0045] Furthermore, in combination Figure 2 Based on the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature, determine whether the air conditioner has entered cooling mode, including:

[0046] Step S31: Determine the relationship between the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature and the temperature difference threshold.

[0047] Step S32: When the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature is greater than the temperature difference threshold, the air conditioner needs to enter the cooling boost mode.

[0048] Step S33: When the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, the air conditioner does not need to enter the cooling mode.

[0049] Specifically, further determine the magnitude of the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature, and the temperature difference threshold: if T 内环 -T 设定 >Temperature difference threshold indicates that the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the user's set temperature is large. In other words, the indoor ambient temperature has not met the user's set requirements, and the air conditioner's current cooling capacity is insufficient. Therefore, the air conditioner needs to enter cooling boost mode, adjusting the first operating current to increase the cooling capacity. If T 内环 -T 设定 A temperature difference threshold of ≤ indicates that the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the user's set temperature is small. In other words, the indoor ambient temperature is close to the user's desired temperature, and therefore, there is no need to activate the cooling function. Where T... 内环 Indicates indoor ambient temperature, T 设定 This indicates the set temperature. For example, the preferred value for the temperature difference threshold is 1°C.

[0050] Furthermore, when the air conditioner needs to enter cooling mode, the first operating current of the air conditioner is adjusted to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner:

[0051] Step S41: Obtain the current coefficient based on the comparison between the indoor ambient temperature and the indoor ambient temperature threshold;

[0052] Step S42: Adjust and update the first operating current according to the current coefficient to obtain the second operating current, so that the air conditioner operates with the second operating current to improve the cooling capacity of the air conditioner.

[0053] By comparing the indoor ambient temperature with an indoor ambient temperature threshold, it is possible to accurately determine whether the current indoor ambient temperature is high, moderate, or low, thereby determining the current coefficient. The current coefficient is largest when the temperature is high and smallest when the temperature is low. (Determining T) 内环 The relationship between T and T1: If T 内环 If the temperature is greater than T1, then the indoor ambient temperature is high. Therefore, the current coefficient is determined to be A1, and I is obtained. n+1 =A1×I n This causes the air conditioner to operate at I2 to increase its cooling capacity; if T 内环 If T ≤ T1, then further determine T. 内环 The relationship between T and T2: If T 内环 If the temperature is greater than T2, the indoor ambient temperature is moderate, and the current coefficient is determined to be A2, thus obtaining I. n+1 =A2×I n This causes the air conditioner to operate at I2 to increase its cooling capacity; if T 内环 If T2 ≤ T2, then the indoor ambient temperature is low. Therefore, the current coefficient is determined to be A3, and I is obtained. n+1 =A3×I n This causes the air conditioner to operate at I2 to increase its cooling capacity. Among them, T... 内环 Indicates indoor ambient temperature, T1 represents the first indoor ambient temperature threshold, and T2 represents the second indoor ambient temperature threshold; I n Indicates the first operating current, I n+1 This indicates the second operating current. For example, T1 > T2, the preferred value for T1 is 30℃, and the preferred value for T2 is 25℃; A1 > A2 > A3, with a value range of 1-1.5.

[0054] Preferably, this control method can also, after obtaining the current coefficient based on the comparison between the indoor ambient temperature and the indoor ambient temperature threshold, determine whether the air conditioner should enter cooling mode based on the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature. 内环 The relationship between T and T1, if T 内环 If the temperature is greater than T1, then the indoor ambient temperature is high, and the current coefficient is determined to be A1. Further determination of T is needed.内环 With T 设定 The size relationship; if T 内环 If T ≤ T1, then further determine T. 内环 The relationship between T and T2: If T 内环 If the current coefficient is greater than T2, then the indoor ambient temperature is moderate, and the current coefficient is determined to be A2. At this point, further judgment is needed regarding T. 内环 With T 设定 The size relationship; if T 内环 If T2 ≤ T2, the indoor ambient temperature is low, indicating a good cooling effect. The current coefficient is determined to be A3. Further judgment is then made regarding T. 内环 With T 设定 The size relationship of T. That is to say, in relation to T... 内环 After determining the magnitudes of T1 and T2, and after determining the current coefficient, it is necessary to determine T. 内环 With T 设定 The magnitude of the current coefficient is used to adjust and update the first operating current.

[0055] If T 内环 -T 设定 If the temperature difference threshold is less than or equal to the user's set temperature, it means that the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the user's set temperature is not large. In other words, the indoor ambient temperature is close to the user's set temperature. Therefore, there is no need to activate the cooling action. The first operating current is restored to the initial operating current I0, and the indoor ambient temperature is periodically compared with the indoor ambient temperature threshold.

[0056] Furthermore, after adjusting the first operating current of the air conditioner to increase its cooling capacity, the control method also includes: periodically acquiring the indoor ambient temperature and the first operating current; cyclically determining whether the air conditioner has entered cooling mode based on the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature; and cyclically adjusting the first operating current to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner if the temperature difference is the same.

[0057] Understandably, by periodically acquiring the indoor ambient temperature and the initial operating current for the first cycle duration, and cyclically determining whether the air conditioner should activate cooling mode based on the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature, the system continuously adjusts the initial operating current to increase the air conditioner's cooling capacity. This continuous control of the initial operating current further enhances the user experience. For example, the first cycle duration could be set to 10 minutes.

[0058] Specifically, when step S30 is performed for the first time, the operating current I of the air conditioner at the previous moment... n =First operating current I1 =Initial operating current I0; After one cycle, when step S30 is performed for the second time, the operating current I of the air conditioner at the previous moment is... n =The second operating current I obtained after the first update of the first operating currentn+1 This process continues, progressively controlling the initial operating current of the air conditioner. Wherein, I... n This represents the first operating current of the air conditioner at the previous moment, and the second operating current I of the air conditioner at this moment. n+1 I as the next cycle n During the cycle, the initial operating current I0 remains unchanged, which is the operating current of the air conditioner detected for the first time.

[0059] Between steps S10 and S20, the process further includes controlling the air conditioner's compressor to run continuously for a first target time. For example, a preferred value for this first target time is 3 minutes.

[0060] It is understandable that when the compressor first starts, the air conditioner is in a non-steady-state cooling phase. At this time, the inner loop temperature sensor has a lag in monitoring, and the measured temperature data is inaccurate. After the air conditioner compressor has been running continuously for the first target time, the air conditioner enters the stable cooling operation phase, and the measured temperature data at this time is more accurate, which can ensure the accuracy and reliability of this method.

[0061] In one specific embodiment, the air conditioner is turned on to operate in cooling mode. The cooling enhancement function is activated via remote control, and then the indoor ambient temperature T is monitored. 内环 The air conditioner's current operating current is used as the first detection current I1, and this current is recorded as the initial current I0. Simultaneously, the control range is divided based on the indoor ambient temperature. If T... 内环 >30℃ (at this point, the indoor temperature is high, the cooling capacity cannot meet the indoor load, and the cooling effect is poor). Further assessment of the indoor ambient temperature T is needed. 内环 and set temperature T 设定 If T 内环 -T 设定 If the temperature is greater than 1℃, it indicates that the indoor ambient temperature has not met the user's set requirements. The air conditioner then enters cooling efficiency control mode, increasing the air conditioner's operating current I. n+1 =A1·I n (At this time, the operating current I) n+1 For the previous detected current I n (A1 times that of the original text), thereby increasing the cooling capacity. After running for 10 minutes, the air conditioner's operating current is re-detected, and the control range is periodically determined; if T... 内环 -T 设定 ≤1℃, at this time the indoor ambient temperature is close to the user's set requirements, no need to improve the effect, the air conditioner operating current returns to the air conditioner initial current I0, and periodically judges.

[0062] If 25℃ < T 内环 ≤30℃ (indicating that the indoor temperature is moderate and the cooling effect is average), further determine the indoor ambient temperature T at this point.内环 and set temperature T 设定 If T 内环 -T 设定 If the temperature is greater than 1℃, it indicates that the indoor ambient temperature has not met the user's set requirements. The air conditioner then enters cooling efficiency control mode, increasing the air conditioner's operating current I. n+1 =A2·I n (At this point, the operating current is A2 times the previous detected current), thus increasing the cooling capacity. After running for 10 minutes, the air conditioner operating current is re-detected, and the control range is periodically determined; if T 内环 -T 设定 ≤1℃, at this time the indoor ambient temperature is close to the user's set requirements, no need to improve the effect, the air conditioner operating current returns to the air conditioner initial current I0, and periodically judges.

[0063] If T 内环 ≤25℃ (indicating a low indoor temperature and good cooling effect), further determine the indoor ambient temperature T at this point. 内环 and set temperature T 设定 If T 内环 -T 设定 If the temperature is greater than 1℃, it indicates that the indoor ambient temperature has not met the user's set requirements. The air conditioner then enters cooling efficiency control mode, increasing the air conditioner's operating current I. n+1 =A3·I n (At this point, the operating current is A3 times the previous detected current), thus increasing the cooling capacity. After running for 10 minutes, the air conditioner operating current is re-detected, and the control range is periodically determined; if T 内环 -T 设定 ≤1℃, at this time the indoor ambient temperature is close to the user's set requirements, no need to improve the effect, the air conditioner operating current returns to the air conditioner initial current I0, and periodically judges.

[0064] For example, A1 is usually 1.2, A2 is 1.1, and A3 is 1.05.

[0065] In one specific embodiment, the air conditioner is turned on to operate in cooling mode. The cooling enhancement function is activated via remote control, and the indoor ambient temperature T is monitored. 内环 The initial operating current is recorded as I0 of the air conditioner. The indoor ambient temperature is detected; for example, the indoor ambient temperature T is determined. 内环 >The first indoor ambient temperature threshold T1 determines that the cooling effect is poor at this moment, and the temperature T is determined. 内环 -T 设定 After reaching the temperature difference threshold, update the first operating current to the second operating current I2 = A1·I1; after I2 runs for one cycle, use I2 as the first operating current for the new cycle, and determine the second indoor ambient temperature threshold T2 < indoor ambient temperature T for the second time. 内环If the temperature is less than or equal to the first indoor ambient temperature threshold T1, the cooling effect is determined to be moderate. Therefore, T is determined. 内环 -T 设定 After reaching the temperature difference threshold, update the first operating current to the second operating current I3 = A2·I2 = A2·A1·I1; after I3 runs for one cycle, use I3 as the first operating current for the new cycle, and determine the indoor ambient temperature T for the third time. 内环 If the temperature is ≤ the second indoor ambient temperature threshold T2, the cooling effect is considered good at this moment, and T is determined. 内环 -T 设定 Once the temperature difference threshold is reached, the first operating current is updated to restore the initial operating current I0; and step S41 is executed periodically.

[0068] In one specific embodiment, the power-on module 101, acquisition module 102, judgment module 103 and control module 104 of the control device 100 of the air conditioner work together to implement the control method of the air conditioner as described in the first embodiment above, which will not be repeated here.
