Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air conditioning technology, and specifically provides an air conditioner and its adaptive swing control method. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, air conditioners have become commonplace in households. However, due to room layout and piping limitations, most air conditioner indoor units are not installed in the center of the room, causing the air blown out to concentrate on one side of the room, making it difficult to heat or cool the room evenly.

[0003] Even though existing air conditioners are equipped with vertical air guides that can swing left and right, allowing the indoor unit to blow air back and forth in the left and right directions, they are still limited by the indoor unit's installation position being off-center from one side of the room. This results in uneven heating and cooling of the room, leading to poor cooling and heating performance of the air conditioner. Summary of the Invention

Then, by acquiring the temperature changes on the left and right sides of the indoor unit, the distances of the left and right sides of the indoor unit relative to the wall can be determined (i.e., which side of the indoor unit is closer to the wall and which side is farther from the wall). Then, based on the temperature changes on the left and right sides (i.e., which side of the indoor unit is closer to the wall and which side is farther from the wall), the dwell time t of the vertical air guide vane of the indoor unit when it swings to the left side is determined. 左 and the right-side dwell time t when swinging to the right. 右 This allows the air conditioner to determine the blowing time (t) of the indoor unit to the left based on the distance between the left and right sides of the indoor unit and the wall. 左 And the blowing time t to the right 右 Finally, based on the dwell time t on the left side... 左 and the time spent on the right side t 右 Control the air conditioner to operate in left and right swing mode.

[0042] Therefore, this invention enables the air conditioner to automatically identify the distance between the left and right sides of the indoor unit and the wall, and accordingly adjust the dwell time of the vertical air guide vane on the left and right sides. This allows the air conditioner's swing function to automatically adapt to its position in the room, providing uniform cooling or heating. Compared with existing air conditioners, this invention overcomes the problem of poor cooling and heating performance caused by the indoor unit being installed off-center in the room.

[0043] Other beneficial effects of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand the improved objectives, features and advantages of the present invention.

[0058] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are merely a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments of the present invention. These partial embodiments are intended to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the embodiments provided by the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," which indicate direction or positional relationships, are based on the direction or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0060] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can also refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0061] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this invention, the terms "coldness" and "heat" are two descriptions of the same physical state. That is, the higher the "coldness" of a target object (e.g., evaporator, air, condenser, etc.), the lower its "heat," and vice versa. A target object absorbs "coldness" while releasing "heat," and releases "coldness" while absorbing "heat." A target object retains "coldness" or "heat" to maintain its current temperature. "Refrigeration" and "heat absorption" are two descriptions of the same physical phenomenon; that is, a target object (e.g., an evaporator) absorbs heat while refrigerating.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that in the description of this invention, each functional module can be a physical module composed of multiple structures, components, or electronic devices, or a virtual module composed of multiple programs; each functional module can be an independent module or a module divided from a whole module according to its function. Those skilled in the art should understand that, provided the technical solution described in this invention can be implemented, any changes in the configuration, implementation, or positional relationship of the functional modules will not deviate from the technical principles of this invention, and therefore should all fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes an outdoor unit 110 installed outdoors and an indoor unit 120 installed indoors. As described in the background art, due to room layout and factors such as air conditioning piping, most indoor units 120 are often arranged in a position slightly to the left or right of the room.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the distance between the left side of the indoor unit 120 and the wall 200 is less than the distance between the right side of the indoor unit 120 and the wall 200.

[0065] Those skilled in the art will understand that, because the distance between the left side of the indoor unit 120 and the wall 200 is smaller than the distance between the right side of the indoor unit 120 and the wall 200, the space on the left side of the indoor unit 120 is smaller, making it easier to cool / heat; the space on the right side of the indoor unit 120 is larger, making it difficult to cool / heat. Therefore, the temperature on the left side of the indoor unit 120 changes faster, while the temperature on the right side of the indoor unit 120 changes slower.

[0066] In this invention, Figure 1 This is intended to show that the indoor unit 120 is installed in a position slightly to the left or right of the room. In addition, it is also possible that the distance between the left side of the indoor unit 120 and the wall 200 is greater than the distance between the right side of the indoor unit 120 and the wall 200.

[0067] Furthermore, in this invention, the indoor unit 120 can be a wall-mounted air conditioner, a floor-standing air conditioner, or any other feasible air conditioner. See below for reference. Figure 2 The indoor unit 120 of the present invention will be described in detail using a wall-mounted air conditioner as an example.

[0068] like Figure 2As shown, the indoor unit 120 includes a casing 121, a heat exchanger 122, a fan 123, a horizontal air guide plate 124, and a vertical air guide plate 125. The casing 121 has an air inlet 1211 and an air outlet 1212. The heat exchanger 122 is installed inside the casing 121 and is used to heat or cool the air inside the casing 121. The fan 123 is installed inside the casing 121 and is used to drive outside air into the casing 121 through the air inlet 1211, and after flowing through the heat exchanger 122, it flows back to the outside through the air outlet 1212. The horizontal air guide plate 124 is installed at the air outlet 1212 and can swing up and down to guide the direction of the air blown out of the air outlet 1212 in the vertical direction. A vertical air guide vane 125 is also installed at the air outlet 1212. The vertical air guide vane 125 can swing left and right to guide the direction of the air blown out of the air outlet 1212 in the left and right directions.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, during the left and right swinging of the vertical air guide plate 125, when it swings to the left, the air blown out from the air outlet 1212 blows towards the left front of the indoor unit 120.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, during the left and right swing of the vertical air guide plate 125, when it swings to the right, the air blown out from the air outlet 1212 blows towards the right front of the indoor unit 120.

[0071] Furthermore, from Figure 3 and Figure 4 As can be seen, the indoor unit 120 also includes a left temperature sensor 126 and a right temperature sensor 127. The left temperature sensor 126 is located on the left side of the casing 121 and is used to detect the temperature of the air on the left side of the indoor unit 120; the right temperature sensor 127 is located on the right side of the casing 121 and is used to detect the temperature of the air on the right side of the indoor unit 120.

[0072] The following reference Figures 1 to 4 This paper will provide a detailed description of the adaptive control method for air conditioning swing in this invention.

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioning swing adaptive control method includes:

[0074] In step S110, in response to receiving the target instruction, the air conditioner 100 is controlled to operate in the target air outlet mode so that the indoor unit 120 of the air conditioner blows out equal amounts of air to the left front side and the right front side.

[0075] The target command can be a heating command, a cooling command, or any other feasible command.

[0076] In this invention, when the air conditioner 100 is running in the target air outlet mode, the vertical air guide vane 125 is fixed and the indoor unit 120 blows air directly forward; or, the indoor unit 120 blows out diffused air, the axis of which on the horizontal plane is parallel to the front-back direction of the indoor unit 120.

[0077] As an example, such as Figure 1 As shown, all vertical air guide vanes 125 on the indoor unit 120 are parallel. When the air conditioner 100 is operating in the target airflow mode, all vertical air guide vanes 125 are parallel to the front-to-back direction of the indoor unit 120. All vertical air guide vanes 125 can be driven by the same motor, or each vertical air guide vane 125 can be driven by a separate motor.

[0078] As an example two, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the vertical air guide vane 125 includes at least one vertical air guide vane assembly 1251, which includes a pair of main air guide vanes 12511 and a secondary air guide vane 12512. The secondary air guide vane 12512 is disposed at the front between the pair of main air guide vanes 12511. When the air conditioner 100 is operating in the target air outlet mode, the vertical air guide vane assembly 1251 can be moved to... Figure 6 The target location shown can also be moved to. Figure 7 The target location is shown. Each main air guide vane 12511 and each secondary air guide vane 12512 can be driven by a motor.

[0079] In Example 2, if the vertical guide vane assembly 1251 moves to... Figure 6 At the target location shown, the air blown from the indoor unit 120 is blown out from the inverted V-shaped structure formed by the two main air vanes 12511 and expands outward in the left and right directions to increase the coverage area of ​​the air conditioning air in the left and right directions.

[0080] Step S120: Obtain the temperature change on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 120.

[0081] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, step S120 further includes:

[0082] Step S121: Obtain the initial temperature T0 of the environment where the indoor unit 120 is located and the temperature T on the left side of the indoor unit 120. 左 The temperature T on the right side of the indoor unit is 120. 右 .

[0083] The initial temperature T0 of the environment where the indoor unit 120 is located is the temperature value detected by the left temperature sensor 126 and / or the right temperature sensor 127 when the air conditioner 100 just starts running. The temperature T0 of the left side of the indoor unit 120... 左 This is the temperature value detected by the left-side temperature sensor 126 at the current moment. The right-side temperature sensor T of the indoor unit 120... 右 This is the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor 127 on the right at the current moment.

[0084] Step S122: Calculate the temperature T on the left side in real time. 左 The absolute value of the difference between the temperature and the initial temperature T0, denoted as the left-side temperature difference ΔT. 左 .

[0085] Specifically, ΔT 左 =T 左 -T0.

[0086] Step S123: Calculate the temperature T on the right side in real time. 右 The absolute value of the difference between the initial temperature T0 and the temperature on the right is denoted as the temperature difference ΔT. 右 .

[0087] Specifically, ΔT 右 =T 右 -T0.

[0088] Step S124, determine the temperature difference ΔT on the left side. 左 Reaching the preset threshold T 阈 The left side of time Δt 左 .

[0089] Specifically, when the air conditioner 100 receives the target instruction, it begins to count the time. When the temperature difference ΔT on the left side... 左 Reaching the preset threshold T 阈 The accumulated time during this process is the time Δt on the left side. 左 .

[0090] Step S125, determine the temperature difference ΔT on the right side. 右 Reaching the preset threshold T 阈 The right side of time Δt 右 .

[0091] Specifically, when the air conditioner 100 receives the target instruction, it begins to count the time, and when the temperature difference ΔT on the right side... 右 Reaching the preset threshold T 阈 The accumulated time during this process is the time Δt on the right side. 右 .

[0092] Those skilled in the art will understand that the purpose of step S120 is to determine which side of the indoor unit 120 is closer to the wall 200 and which side is farther from the wall 200 by measuring the temperature changes on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 120.

[0093] Step S130: Based on the temperature changes on the left and right sides, determine the dwell time t of the vertical air guide vane 125 of the indoor unit 120 when it swings to the left. 左 and the right-side dwell time t when swinging to the right. 右 The details are as follows:

[0094]

[0095]

[0096] Among them, t 总 The dwell time t of the vertical guide vane 125 when it swings to the left. 左 and the right-side dwell time t when swinging to the right. 右 sum.

[0097] In this invention, t 总 It is a time set by the user and can be any feasible value, such as 3S, 5S, 7S, 10S, etc.

[0098] Those skilled in the art will understand that the purpose of step S130 is to provide a shorter airflow time to the side of the indoor unit 120 where the temperature changes faster (the side closer to the wall 200) and a longer airflow time to the side of the indoor unit 120 where the temperature changes slower (the side farther from the wall 200), so that the temperature changes on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 120 tend to be consistent, so that the room is heated or cooled evenly, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0099] Step S140, based on the dwell time t on the left side 左 and the time spent on the right side t 右 Control the air conditioner to operate in left and right swing mode.

[0100] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, step S140 includes:

[0101] Step S141: When the vertical guide vane 125 swings to the left, the vertical guide vane 125 stays on the left for a duration t. 左 .

[0102] Step S142: When the vertical guide vane 125 swings to the right, the vertical guide vane 125 stays on the right side for a duration t. 右 .

[0103] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 can automatically identify the distance between the left and right sides of the indoor unit 120 and the wall 200, and accordingly adjust the dwell time of the vertical air guide vane 125 on the left and right sides, so that the air swing of the air conditioner 100 can automatically adapt to its position in the room and provide uniform cooling or heating to the room. Compared with air conditioners in the prior art, the air conditioner of the present invention overcomes the problem that the indoor unit's installation position is biased to one side of the room, resulting in poor cooling and heating effects.

[0104] It should be noted that the solutions described in some of the preceding embodiments of this invention are merely basic solutions for achieving the technical objectives of this invention. Based on this, those skilled in the art can make appropriate modifications or adjustments as needed to obtain other technical solutions. However, this does not deviate from the technical principles of this invention and falls uniformly within the protection scope of this invention.

[0105] For example, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can replace step S120 with: obtaining the temperature change rate V on the left side of the indoor unit 120 as needed. 左 and the rate of temperature change V on the right 右 And accordingly, step S130 is replaced with:

[0106]

[0107]

[0108] The left and right temperature change rates can be obtained in any feasible way. For example, the left and right temperatures of the indoor unit 120 can be obtained every unit of time (e.g., 30 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes, or any feasible time). The absolute value of the difference between the left and right temperatures obtained in two consecutive measurements is taken as the left temperature change rate, and the absolute value of the difference between the right and right temperatures obtained in two consecutive measurements is taken as the right temperature change rate.

[0109] For example, such as Figure 10 As shown, in some other embodiments of the present invention, compared with any of the embodiments described above, after step S130, the control method further includes:

[0110] Step S210, store the dwell time t on the left side. 左 and the time spent on the right side t 右 .

[0111] Step S220: When the air conditioner 100 is turned on again, when the vertical air guide vane 125 swings to the left, the vertical air guide vane 125 stays on the left for a duration t.左 When the vertical guide vane 125 swings to the right, the vertical guide vane 125 stays on the right side for a duration t. 右 .

[0112] Those skilled in the art will understand that further embodiments of the present invention enable the air conditioner 100 to adapt its swing function based on the position of the indoor unit 120 in the room during its initial startup, so that it does not need to perform swing adaptation again upon the next startup, and the vertical guide vane 125 stays on the left side for a duration t when it swings to the left. 左 When swinging to the right, stay on the right side for a time t. 右 This shortens the response time of the air conditioner's 100° swing function and improves the user experience.

[0113] For example, such as Figure 11 As shown, in some other embodiments of the present invention, compared with any of the embodiments described above,

[0114] Before controlling the air conditioner 100 to operate in the target air outlet mode, the control method also includes:

[0115] Step S310: Obtain the initial temperature T0 of the environment where the indoor unit 120 is located. Please refer to step S121 for details.

[0116] Step S320: Determine whether the initial temperature T0 is greater than the preset temperature T. 设 .

[0117] When the ambient temperature is greater than the preset temperature T 设 At times, people may feel hot and may need air conditioning to cool the room; when the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature T... 设 At times, people may feel cold and may need air conditioning to heat the room. For this purpose, a preset temperature T is set. 设 It can be any feasible value, such as 18℃, 20℃, 22℃, etc.

[0118] In addition, those skilled in the art can also, as needed, set the preset temperature T 设 Set a numerical range, such as "a to b", where a can be any feasible value, such as 13℃, 15℃, 17℃, etc.; b can also be any feasible value, such as 20℃, 22℃, 24℃, etc.

[0119] If the preset temperature T 设 If the numerical range is "a to b", then step S330 is executed when the initial temperature T0 is greater than b, and step S340 is executed when the initial temperature T0 is less than a.

[0120] In step S330, if the value is greater than the target value, the air conditioner 100 is controlled to operate in cooling mode. At this time, when the air conditioner 100 is executing step S110, it operates simultaneously in cooling mode and target air outlet mode.

[0121] In step S340, if the value is less than or equal to the target value, the air conditioner 100 is controlled to operate in heating mode. At this time, when the air conditioner 100 is executed in step S110, it operates simultaneously in heating mode and target air outlet mode.

[0122] Those skilled in the art will understand that further embodiments of the present invention enable the air conditioner 100 to automatically determine whether to operate in cooling mode or heating mode based on the room temperature, making the air conditioner 100 more intelligent.
