[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent device technology, and specifically provides a control method for an intelligent home appliance system and an intelligent home appliance system. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, indoor temperature is generally regulated by air conditioners. For example, in summer, the indoor temperature is lowered by running the air conditioner in cooling mode.

[0003] However, when there is plenty of sunshine outdoors, the indoor temperature will drop more slowly. In order to increase the cooling speed, it is necessary to increase the air supply volume and lower the air outlet temperature. However, a large amount of cold air blowing directly on the user will cause physical discomfort and will also increase the energy consumption of the air conditioner.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, namely, how to increase the rate of temperature reduction when there is sufficient sunlight outdoors.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively covering the opening with the solar energy layer structure according to the comparison result" specifically includes: if the light intensity is greater than the first preset light intensity, then the solar energy layer structure covers the opening; if the light intensity is not greater than the first preset light intensity, then the solar energy layer structure does not cover the opening.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively stopping the air conditioner from operating according to the comparison result" specifically includes: if the first difference is less than the first preset value, then the air conditioner is stopped from operating; if the first difference is not less than the first preset value, then the air conditioner is not stopped from operating.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the steps of "selectively stopping the air conditioner from operating based on the light intensity, the air conditioner's operating mode, the current temperature, and the target temperature, and selectively covering the opening with the solar layer structure, the glass layer structure, the porous polymer layer structure, and the hydrogel layer structure, and selectively placing the porous polymer layer structure in either the first operating state or the second operating state when the porous polymer layer structure covers the opening" specifically include: if the air conditioner's operating mode is heating mode, then the solar layer structure and the hydrogel layer structure are not covered by the opening, the glass layer structure and the porous polymer layer structure cover the opening, and the porous polymer layer structure is placed in the second operating state; comparing the light intensity with a second preset light intensity; calculating the difference between the target temperature and the current temperature, and recording it as a second difference; comparing the second difference with a second preset value; and selectively stopping the air conditioner from operating based on the comparison result.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively stopping the air conditioner from operating according to the comparison result" specifically includes: if the light intensity is greater than the second preset light intensity and the second difference is less than the second preset value, then the air conditioner is stopped from operating.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively stopping the air conditioner from operating according to the comparison result" further includes: if the light intensity is not greater than the second preset light intensity or the second difference is not less than the second preset value, then the air conditioner is not stopped from operating.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the control method further includes: when there is no one in the room, making the solar energy layer structure, the glass layer structure, the porous polymer layer structure, and the hydrogel layer structure completely cover the opening.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the porous polymer layer structure includes a double-layered glass capable of covering the opening, a porous polymer material, and a liquid storage device. The porous polymer material fills the double-layered glass, and the liquid storage device communicates with the double-layered glass. The liquid storage device is configured to inject its stored liquid into the double-layered glass to keep the porous polymer material moist when the porous polymer layer structure is in the first working state, and to extract the liquid from the double-layered glass to keep the porous polymer material dry when the porous polymer layer structure is in the second working state; and / or the hydrogel layer structure includes a plate made of a water-permeable polymer material and a hydrogel filled in the plate.

[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides an intelligent home appliance system, which further includes a controller configured to perform the control method described above.

[0016] Those skilled in the art will understand that, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the window assembly of the smart window, in addition to the traditional glass layer structure, also includes a solar energy layer structure, a porous polymer layer structure, and a hydrogel layer structure. The solar energy layer structure absorbs solar energy and converts it into electrical energy for storage, to power the drive device. The glass layer structure provides insulation between the interior and exterior while allowing outdoor light to pass through. The porous polymer layer structure controls the amount of heat radiated into the room by changing its thermal radiation transmittance. The hydrogel structure absorbs heat from the room through water evaporation. With this configuration, the smart window... In conjunction with the air conditioner, this system rapidly regulates indoor temperature. Specifically, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the glass layer structure, porous polymer layer structure, and hydrogel layer structure cover the openings, and the porous polymer layer structure is in its first working state. At this time, the liquid storage device in the porous polymer layer structure injects stored liquid into the double-layered glass, keeping the porous polymer material moist. In this state, the thermal radiation transmittance of the porous polymer layer structure is low, reducing the amount of heat radiated into the room. Simultaneously, the moisture in the hydrogel layer structure absorbs heat from the room and evaporates, thus rapidly lowering the indoor temperature. If the sunlight at this time... If the intensity of the light exceeds the first preset light intensity, the solar layer structure can cover the opening, thereby further accelerating the reduction of indoor temperature. If the first difference between the current temperature and the target temperature is less than the first preset value, the air conditioner can stop operating, relying solely on the porous polymer layer structure and hydrogel layer structure to regulate the indoor temperature. When the air conditioner is in heating mode, the solar layer structure and hydrogel layer structure do not cover the opening; instead, the glass layer structure and porous polymer layer structure cover the opening, and the porous polymer layer structure is in a second working state. At this time, the liquid storage device of the porous polymer layer structure extracts the liquid from the double-layer glass. The porous polymer material is kept in a dry state. In this state, the thermal radiation transmittance of the porous polymer layer structure is high, which increases the amount of heat radiated into the room, thereby rapidly raising the indoor temperature. If the light intensity at this time is greater than the second preset light intensity and the second difference between the target temperature and the current temperature is less than the second preset value, the air conditioner can be stopped, and the indoor temperature can be regulated solely by the absorption of thermal radiation by the glass layer structure and the porous polymer layer structure. When there is no one in the room, the solar layer structure, glass layer structure, porous polymer layer structure, and hydrogel layer structure all cover the openings, thus putting the room in a light-shielding mode.

[0029] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that although the steps of the control method of the present invention are described in a specific order in this application, this order is not restrictive. Without departing from the basic principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can perform the steps in different orders. For example, the execution order of steps S100 to S400 of the control method of the present invention can be interchanged, or steps S100 to S400 can be performed simultaneously. The adjusted technical solution is equivalent to the technical solution described in this application and therefore will also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "inner," "outer," "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom," 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" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connect," and "install" should be interpreted broadly, for example, referring to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] Based on the background art, which points out the problem that indoor temperature decreases slowly when there is plenty of sunlight outdoors, this invention provides a control method and a smart home appliance system. The system aims to quickly reduce indoor temperature by covering the opening of the window frame with a porous polymer layer structure and a hydrogel layer structure. The porous polymer layer structure can change the heat radiation transmittance of the window, and the hydrogel layer structure can absorb heat by evaporating water. When used in conjunction with an air conditioner when there is plenty of sunlight outdoors, the system can quickly reduce indoor temperature.

[0034] Specifically, first refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the smart window of the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the smart home appliance system of the present invention includes a smart window and an air conditioner. The smart window includes a window frame and a window body assembly and a driving device 5 disposed on the window frame. The window frame has an opening. The window body assembly includes a solar layer structure 3, a glass layer structure 4, a porous polymer layer structure 1, and a hydrogel layer structure 2 arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. The driving device 5 is connected to the solar layer structure 3, the glass layer structure 4, the porous polymer layer structure 1, and the hydrogel layer structure 2 respectively. The driving device 5 is configured to independently drive the solar layer structure 3, the glass layer structure 4, the porous polymer layer structure 1, and the hydrogel layer structure 2 to move relative to the window frame to open or cover the opening. The porous polymer layer structure 1 has a first working state and a second working state. The thermal radiation transmittance of the porous polymer layer structure 1 in the first working state is lower than that in the second working state. The hydrogel layer structure 2 is configured to use water evaporation for cooling to reduce the temperature inside the room.

[0036] It should be noted that the driving device 5 of the present invention can adopt an integrated structure, such as an integrated pneumatic cylinder structure or an integrated hydraulic cylinder structure. Alternatively, the driving device 5 can adopt a split structure, for example, the driving device 5 includes a first driving component, a second driving component, a third driving component, and a fourth driving component. The first driving component is connected to the solar layer structure 3, the second driving component is connected to the glass layer structure 4, the third driving component is connected to the porous polymer layer structure 1, and the fourth driving component is connected to the hydrogel layer structure 2. The first, second, third, and fourth driving components can all adopt a structure using a motor, gears, and racks, or a structure using a motor, roller assembly, and slide rails. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should all be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] It should be further explained that the solar layer structure 3 of the present invention can be connected to the energy storage battery via a cable to store the electrical energy converted by the solar layer structure 3 and supply power to the drive device 5. The energy storage battery can also be connected to the indoor power supply. Such flexible adjustment and change do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention and should be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0038] It should also be noted that the present invention does not limit the structural form of the glass layer structure 4. For example, those skilled in the art can set the glass layer structure 4 as a single-layer glass, double-layer insulated glass, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structural form of the glass layer structure 4 do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] Of course, the glass layer structure 4 of the present invention preferably adopts double-layer insulated glass, which has a good sound insulation effect.

[0040] For example, such as Figure 1As shown, the window assembly of the present invention includes a solar layer structure 3, a glass layer structure 4, a porous polymer layer structure 1, and a hydrogel layer structure 2 arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. The driving device 5 includes a first driving component, a second driving component, a third driving component, and a fourth driving component. The first driving component is connected to the solar layer structure 3, the second driving component is connected to the glass layer structure 4, the third driving component is connected to the porous polymer layer structure 1, and the fourth driving component is connected to the hydrogel layer structure 2. Each of the four driving components consists of a motor, a roller assembly 51, and a slide rail 52. The system consists of four horizontally mounted sliding rails 52 on the window frame, and four roller assemblies 51 mounted on the solar layer structure 3, glass layer structure 4, porous polymer layer structure 1, and hydrogel layer structure 2, respectively. Driven by a motor, the roller assemblies 51 roll on the sliding rails 52, thereby causing the solar layer structure 3, glass layer structure 4, porous polymer layer structure 1, and hydrogel layer structure 2 to slide, thus opening the window frame. The motor is connected to an energy storage battery 6, which supplies the stored electrical energy to the motor, making efficient use of solar energy.

[0041] See next Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the porous polymer layer structure of the smart window of the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the porous polymer layer structure 1 of the present invention includes a double-layer glass 11 capable of covering the opening, a porous polymer material, and a liquid storage device 12. The porous polymer material is filled inside the double-layer glass 11, and the liquid storage device 12 is connected to the double-layer glass 11. When the porous polymer layer structure 1 is switched to a first working state, the liquid storage device 12 injects the stored liquid into the double-layer glass 11 to keep the porous polymer material in a wet state. When the porous polymer layer structure 1 is switched to a second working state, the liquid storage device 12 extracts the liquid from the double-layer glass 11 to keep the porous polymer material in a dry state.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 2As shown, the double-layered glass 11 of the present invention has a sealed hollow structure. Porous polymer material fills the hollow space of the double-layered glass 11. A liquid storage device 12 is located on the right side of the double-layered glass 11. When the porous polymer layer structure 1 switches to the first working state, the liquid storage device 12 injects the stored liquid into the double-layered glass 11, keeping the porous polymer material moist. In this state, the porous polymer layer structure 1 has high solar transmittance and low thermal radiation transmittance, resulting in increased sunlight transmission into the room and reduced heat radiation into the room. When the porous polymer layer structure 1 switches to the second working state… At this time, the liquid storage device 12 extracts the liquid from the double-layer glass 11 to dry the porous polymer material. In this state, the solar transmittance of the porous polymer layer structure 1 is low and the thermal radiation transmittance is high, which reduces the amount of sunlight transmitted into the room and increases the amount of heat radiated into the room. By setting up the liquid storage device 12, the porous polymer material can be moistened and dried, thereby changing the solar transmittance and thermal radiation transmittance of the porous polymer layer structure 1. In this way, the amount of sunlight transmitted into the room and the amount of heat radiated into the room can be adjusted, and the indoor brightness and temperature can be effectively controlled.

[0044] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the material composition of the porous polymer material. For example, those skilled in the art can use polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene and ethyl cellulose, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0045] Preferably, the hydrogel layer structure 2 of the present invention includes a plate made of a polymer material that is permeable to water molecules and a hydrogel filled in the plate.

[0046] The hydrogel is preferably formed by free radical polymerization of acrylamide or polyvinyl alcohol as a template, combined with zirconium dioxide and polytetrafluoroethylene nanoparticles.

[0047] For example, the hydrogel layer structure 2 of the present invention is composed of a hollow plate made of a polymer material permeable to water molecules. The plate is filled with hydrogel. The hydrogel has good hydrophilicity and can absorb a large amount of water. The water in the hydrogel can absorb indoor heat and evaporate into water vapor, which enters the room through the plate made of the polymer material permeable to water molecules. This not only reduces the indoor temperature but also increases the indoor humidity.

[0048] See next Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the control method for the intelligent home appliance system of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a flowchart of an embodiment of the control method for the intelligent home appliance system of the present invention.

[0049] On the other hand, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also provides a control method for an intelligent home appliance system, the control method of the present invention comprising the following steps:

[0050] S100: Obtain outdoor light intensity.

[0051] For example, a light sensor can be installed on the outside of the window frame to detect the outdoor light intensity and connect it to the controller of the smart home appliance system so that the light sensor can transmit the detected light intensity data to the controller in a timely manner.

[0052] It should be noted that the controller of the smart home appliance system can be installed on the smart window, or on the air conditioner, or it can be set up independently in any location in the room. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of this invention and should be limited to the protection scope of this invention.

[0053] S200: Obtain the current indoor temperature.

[0054] For example, a temperature sensor can be installed on the inside of the window frame or on the outer casing of the air conditioner. The temperature sensor can detect the current indoor temperature and communicate with the controller of the smart home appliance system so that the temperature sensor can transmit the detected temperature data to the controller in a timely manner.

[0055] S300: Obtain the target indoor temperature.

[0056] The target indoor temperature is set by the user. Users can set the target indoor temperature via remote control or via a mobile app that is linked to the air conditioner.

[0057] S400: Obtain the operating mode of the air conditioner.

[0058] Similar to the target indoor temperature, the air conditioner's operating mode is also set by the user. In summer, the air conditioner is set to cooling mode, and in winter, it is set to cooling mode.

[0059] S500: Based on the light intensity, the air conditioner's operating mode, the current temperature, and the target temperature, selectively shuts down the air conditioner, selectively covers the openings of the solar layer structure 3, the glass layer structure 4, the porous polymer layer structure 1, and the hydrogel layer structure 2, and selectively puts the porous polymer layer structure 1 into a first operating state or a second operating state when the openings are covered by the porous polymer layer structure 1.

[0060] In other words, the smart home appliance system of the present invention can control the operation of the air conditioner, control the movement of each layer of the window component, and control the working state of the porous polymer layer structure 1.

[0061] In practical applications, depending on the light intensity, the air conditioner's operating mode, the current temperature, and the target temperature, the glass layer structure 4, the porous polymer layer structure 1, and the hydrogel layer structure 2 can cover the opening and put the porous polymer layer structure 1 in a first working state. Alternatively, the glass layer structure 4 and the porous polymer layer structure 1 can cover the opening and put the porous polymer layer structure 1 in a second working state, and so on. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the air conditioner and window components according to the current indoor light intensity and preset light intensity, the current temperature, and the target temperature in practical applications, as long as it is conducive to quickly reaching the target temperature indoors.

[0062] Preferably, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, step S500, which involves "selectively stopping the air conditioner based on the light intensity, the air conditioner's operating mode, the current temperature, and the target temperature, and selectively covering the openings with the solar layer structure 3, the glass layer structure 4, the porous polymer layer structure 1, and the hydrogel layer structure 2, and selectively placing the porous polymer layer structure 1 in a first operating state or a second operating state when the openings are covered," specifically includes:

[0063] If the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the glass layer structure 4, porous polymer layer structure 1, and hydrogel layer structure 2 cover the opening and the porous polymer layer structure 1 is in the first working state; the light intensity is compared with the first preset light intensity; based on the comparison result, the solar layer structure 3 is selectively covered to cover the opening; the difference between the current temperature and the target temperature is calculated and recorded as the first difference; the first difference is compared with the first preset value; based on the comparison result, the air conditioner is selectively stopped.

[0064] In other words, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the glass layer structure 4, the porous polymer layer structure 1, and the hydrogel layer structure 2 need to cover the opening, and the porous polymer layer structure 1 needs to be in the first working state. Whether the solar layer structure 3 also needs to cover the opening of the window frame needs to be further determined based on the comparison between the light intensity and the first preset light intensity. In addition, whether the air conditioner can be stopped needs to be further determined based on the current indoor temperature and the target temperature.

[0065] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S500 includes steps S511 to S514.

[0066] S511: The air conditioner cools down, causing the glass layer structure 4, the porous polymer layer structure 1, and the hydrogel layer structure 2 to cover the opening, and putting the porous polymer layer structure 1 into the first working state.

[0067] When the air conditioner is cooling, it indicates that it is summer and the room temperature needs to be lowered. The porous polymer layer structure 1 covers the opening and is in its first working state. At this time, the liquid storage device 12 of the porous polymer layer structure 1 injects the stored liquid into the double-layer glass 11 to keep the porous polymer material moist. In this state, the thermal radiation transmittance of the porous polymer layer structure 1 is low, which reduces the amount of heat radiated into the room. At the same time, the water in the hydrogel layer structure 2 absorbs the heat in the room and evaporates, thereby rapidly lowering the room temperature.

[0068] S512: Determine whether the light intensity L is greater than the first preset light intensity L1.

[0069] When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, whether the solar layer structure 3 needs to cover the opening of the window frame needs to be determined by comparing the light intensity L with the first preset light intensity L1, and further judgment is made based on the comparison result.

[0070] S513: Calculate the first difference △1.

[0071] Wherein, the first difference △1 = current temperature To - target temperature Ts.

[0072] S514: Determine whether the first difference △1 is less than the first preset value A1.

[0073] When the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, the system determines whether the air conditioner can be stopped by comparing the magnitude of the first difference Δ1 with the first preset value A1.

[0074] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the step of "selectively covering the opening with the solar layer structure 3 according to the comparison results" specifically includes: if the light intensity L is greater than the first preset light intensity L1, then the solar layer structure 3 covers the opening; if the light intensity L is not greater than the first preset light intensity L1, then the solar layer structure 3 does not cover the opening.

[0075] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S500 also includes steps S515 and S516.

[0076] S515: Cover the opening in the solar layer structure 3.

[0077] When the outdoor light intensity L is greater than the first preset light intensity L1, it means that the outdoor light is too strong and has a significant impact on the indoor temperature. By covering the opening with the solar layer structure 3, the indoor space can be put into a light-shielding mode, which is more conducive to the rapid reduction of the indoor temperature to the target temperature.

[0078] S516: Do not cover the opening with the solar layer structure 3.

[0079] When the outdoor light intensity L is not greater than the first preset light intensity L1, it indicates that the outdoor light is insufficient and has little impact on the indoor temperature. In this case, the solar layer structure 3 does not need to cover the opening.

[0080] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific value of the first preset light intensity. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can determine the specific value of the first preset light intensity through experiments for different lighting areas. That is to say, the specific value of the first preset light intensity is also different for different lighting areas, and the two are inversely proportional. That is, the larger the lighting area, the smaller the specific value of the first preset light intensity. When installing an air conditioner, the specific value of the first preset light intensity can be determined by measuring the lighting area of ​​the user's room.

[0081] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the above-mentioned step of "selectively stopping the air conditioner from operating based on the comparison result" specifically includes: if the first difference △1 is less than the first preset value A1, then the air conditioner stops operating; if the first difference △1 is not less than the first preset value A1, then the air conditioner does not stop operating.

[0082] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S500 also includes steps S517 and S518.

[0083] S517: Stop the air conditioner from running.

[0084] When the first difference Δ1 between the current indoor temperature and the target temperature is less than the first preset value A1, the difference between the indoor temperature and the target temperature is small, reaching the preset comfortable temperature range. This allows the air conditioner to stop operating and rely solely on the porous polymer layer structure 1 and the hydrogel layer structure 2 to regulate the indoor temperature, thus avoiding energy waste.

[0085] S518: Do not stop the air conditioner from running.

[0086] When the first difference Δ1 between the current indoor temperature and the target temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset value A1, the difference between the indoor temperature and the target temperature is large, and the air conditioner needs to continue running to quickly reduce the temperature in the room.

[0087] For example, the first preset value A1 = 2℃. When △1 < 2, the air conditioner will stop running; when △1 ≥ 2, the air conditioner will not stop running.

[0088] It should be noted that the specific value of the first preset value is not limited to 2℃ as mentioned above. For example, those skilled in the art can also set the specific value of the first preset value to 1.5℃ or 2.5℃, etc.

[0089] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S500, which involves "selectively stopping the air conditioner based on the light intensity, the air conditioner's operating mode, the current temperature, and the target temperature, and selectively covering the openings with the solar layer structure 3, the glass layer structure 4, the porous polymer layer structure 1, and the hydrogel layer structure 2, and selectively placing the porous polymer layer structure 1 in a first operating state or a second operating state when the openings are covered," specifically includes:

[0090] If the air conditioner is in heating mode, the solar layer structure 3 and hydrogel layer structure 2 will not cover the opening, but the glass layer structure 4 and porous polymer layer structure 1 will cover the opening and the porous polymer layer structure 1 will be in the second working state; the light intensity will be compared with the second preset light intensity; the difference between the target temperature and the current temperature will be calculated and recorded as the second difference; the second difference will be compared with the second preset value; based on the comparison result, the air conditioner will be selectively stopped.

[0091] In other words, when the air conditioner is in heating mode, whether the air conditioner can stop operating if the solar layer structure 3 and hydrogel layer structure 2 do not cover the opening, but the glass layer structure 4 and porous polymer layer structure 1 cover the opening and the porous polymer layer structure 1 is in the second working state needs to be further judged based on the outdoor light intensity, the current indoor temperature, and the target temperature.

[0092] like Figure 4 As shown, step S500 also includes steps S521 to S524.

[0093] S521: When the air conditioner is heating, the solar layer structure 3 and the hydrogel layer structure 2 are not covered by the opening, but the glass layer structure 4 and the porous polymer layer structure 1 are covered by the opening and the porous polymer layer structure 1 is in the second working state.

[0094] When the air conditioner is heating, it indicates that it is winter and the room temperature needs to be increased. The porous polymer layer structure 1 covers the opening and is in the second working state. At this time, the liquid storage device 12 of the porous polymer layer structure 1 extracts the liquid from the double-layer glass 11, so that the porous polymer material is in a dry state. The thermal radiation transmittance of the porous polymer layer structure 1 in this state is high, which increases the amount of heat radiated into the room, thereby rapidly raising the room temperature.

[0095] S522: Determine whether the light intensity L is greater than the second preset light intensity L2.

[0096] S523: Calculate the second difference △2.

[0097] Wherein, the second difference △2 = target temperature Ts - current temperature To.

[0098] S524: Determine whether the second difference △2 is less than the second preset value A2.

[0099] When the air conditioner is in heating mode, the system determines whether the air conditioner can be stopped by judging the magnitude of the light intensity L and the second preset light intensity L2, as well as the magnitude of the second difference Δ2 and the second preset value A1.

[0100] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the above-mentioned step of "selectively stopping the air conditioner from operating based on the comparison results" specifically includes: if the light intensity L is greater than the second preset light intensity L2 and the second difference Δ2 is less than the second preset value A2, then the air conditioner is stopped from operating.

[0101] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S500 further includes step S525.

[0102] S525: Stop the air conditioner from running.

[0103] In other words, when the air conditioner is in heating mode, if the second difference is less than the second preset value, it means that the difference between the indoor temperature and the target temperature is small, the indoor temperature has risen to a comfortable temperature range, and the light intensity at this time is greater than the second preset light intensity. With sufficient outdoor light, the air conditioner can be turned off, and the indoor temperature can be maintained solely by the window components absorbing heat radiation.

[0104] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the above-mentioned step of "selectively stopping the air conditioner from operating based on the comparison results" further includes: if the light intensity L is not greater than the second preset light intensity L2 or the second difference Δ2 is not less than the second preset value A2, then the air conditioner is not stopped from operating.

[0105] For example, such as Figure 4As shown, step S500 also includes step S526.

[0106] S526: Do not stop the air conditioner from running.

[0107] In other words, when the air conditioner is in heating mode, if the second difference is greater than or equal to the second preset value, it means that the difference between the indoor temperature and the target temperature is large, and the air conditioner needs to continue running to raise the indoor temperature as soon as possible. In addition, if the light intensity L is less than or equal to the second preset light intensity L2, it means that the outdoor light intensity is insufficient, and the indoor temperature cannot be maintained by relying on the window components to absorb heat radiation, so the air conditioner cannot be stopped.

[0108] For example, if the second preset value A2 is 1.5℃, the air conditioner will stop running if L > L2 and Δ2 < 1.5; otherwise, the air conditioner will not stop running.

[0109] It should be noted that the specific value of the second preset value is not limited to 1.5℃ as mentioned above. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific value of the second preset value in practical applications. For example, the second preset value can also be set to 1℃ or 2℃, etc.

[0110] It should be further noted that, similar to the setting of the first preset light intensity, the present invention does not limit the specific value of the second preset light intensity. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can determine the specific value of the second preset light intensity through experiments for different lighting areas. When installing an air conditioner, the specific value of the second preset light intensity can be determined by actually measuring the lighting area of ​​the user's room.

[0111] Preferably, the control method of the smart home appliance system of the present invention further includes: when there is no one in the room, making the solar energy layer structure 3, the glass layer structure 4, the porous polymer layer structure 1 and the hydrogel layer structure 2 completely cover the opening.

[0112] In other words, when no one is in the room, all window components are closed to put the room in a light-blocking mode, thus saving energy.

[0113] Preferably, the smart home appliance system of the present invention further includes a controller, which is capable of controlling the air conditioner and the window assembly to complete any of the control methods described above.

[0114] Those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments described herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not others, combinations of features from different embodiments are intended to be within the scope of this application and form different embodiments. For example, any of the claimed embodiments in the claims of this application can be used in any combination.

[0115] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
