Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent air supply technology, and more specifically, to a driving circuit for intelligent human sensing function, an indoor unit of an air conditioner, and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing cabinet air conditioners lack intelligent human detection functionality. This intelligent human detection function means that during normal airflow, if the area in front of the air conditioner's vent is obstructed, the controller can detect the obstruction signal, indicating that there is a person or object in that area. The air conditioner then closes the lower-level air deflector, and the air is blown out through multiple small holes on the deflector, creating a draftless airflow. This prevents cooling or heating air from blowing directly on the user, improving comfort and preventing illnesses such as colds caused by direct airflow from the air conditioner vent.

[0003] Most existing air conditioners lack intelligent human detection functions, and a small number rely on radar for identification. However, radar is expensive, resulting in high identification costs. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In this embodiment, one I / O port is used to control whether the cathode of the infrared emitting tube is turned on or off, thereby controlling whether the infrared emitting tube emits infrared light.

[0011] Optionally, the anode of the infrared emitting diode is connected to the operating voltage or the second terminal of the second switching element through at least two parallel limiting resistors.

[0012] In this embodiment, the emission power of each infrared emitting diode is adjusted by using parallel limiting resistors, thereby adjusting the emission distance and coverage of the infrared light.

[0013] Optionally, the filtering unit includes multiple parallel filtering capacitors and current-limiting resistors; the second and third pins of the infrared receiver are respectively connected to the two ends of the filtering capacitors, and the second pin of the infrared receiver is grounded, while the third pin is connected to the operating voltage through the current-limiting resistor.

[0014] In this embodiment, the filtering unit can provide a stable power supply voltage after filtering to the driving circuit.

[0015] Optionally, the infrared light receiving circuit further includes a protection resistor, and the first pin of the infrared receiver head is connected to the third pin of the controller through the protection resistor.

[0024] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a driving circuit for an intelligent human sensing function provided in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0025] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of another intelligent human sensing function driving circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] This invention provides a driving circuit for an intelligent human-sensing function, which includes a filtering circuit, an infrared light emitting circuit, and an infrared light receiving circuit. The emitted infrared light can cover the area in front of the air outlet to identify whether there is a person or object in front of the air outlet. A device made from this intelligent human-sensing function driving circuit can be installed at the air outlet of an indoor unit.

[0028] In human detection, infrared light is emitted first. When a person or object in front of the air outlet is illuminated, the infrared light is reflected. The reflected infrared light is received and outputs a low-level signal. The microcontroller unit (MCU) receives this low-level signal and determines that there is a person or object in front. If there is no reflected infrared light, there is no low-level signal, and therefore no person or object is detected. This circuit reliably controls the emission distance and effective range of the infrared light, provides stable and reliable infrared signal reception, has a simple circuit structure, good filtering effect, and good electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance.

[0029] Multiple devices can be installed at the air outlet. These devices work together to detect the presence of people or objects at different heights. Based on the results of these detections, the presence of a person or object at that height can be definitively determined, thus distinguishing their height, such as adults and children of different heights. Different air deflector control schemes are applied to different types of users. For example, if an adult is detected at the air outlet, the air deflector is kept open; if a child is detected, the air deflector is closed.

[0030] The driving circuit for the intelligent human sensing function provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a filtering circuit, an infrared light emitting circuit, and an infrared light receiving circuit.

[0031] The power supply filtering circuit supplies power to the drive circuit and includes a filter inductor and multiple filter capacitors. These multiple filter capacitors are connected in parallel, with their first parallel terminal grounded and their second parallel terminal connected to the operating voltage and then connected to the first pin of the air conditioner via the filter inductor; alternatively, the second terminal is connected to the operating voltage and then connected to the first pin via the filter inductor. This embodiment employs the above-mentioned capacitor-inductor filtering method, which can meet the filtering requirements of different frequency bands and improve the filtering effect of the filtering circuit. For example, the controller described above can be the aforementioned MCU.

[0032] In this filter circuit, at least two filter capacitors have different capacitance values. Optionally, the power supply filter circuit includes the following four filter capacitors: capacitor 102, capacitor 101, capacitor 103, and capacitor 104. By using capacitors with capacitance values ​​of 102, 101, 103, and 104 in combination for filtering, the filtering effect across different frequency bands can be optimized when the infrared transmitter is coupled to interference, thus meeting reliable filtering requirements and improving EMC performance.

[0033] The aforementioned infrared light emitting circuit includes a switching element, a limiting resistor, and multiple infrared emitting diodes. Each infrared emitting diode is connected to at least one limiting resistor, and the infrared emitting diode and its corresponding limiting resistor are connected in series between the operating voltage and ground. The switching element is connected in series with the limiting resistor and / or the infrared emitting diode to control the connection between the infrared emitting diode and the operating voltage and ground. The control terminal of the switching element is connected to the second pin of the controller.

[0034] In the infrared light emitting circuit, a single-control infrared emitting diode cathode and / or anode is used, controlled by the second pin of the controller. This second pin controls the connection and disconnection between the infrared emitting diode cathode and / or anode and the circuit. The circuit structure is simple and has a low failure rate. A limiting resistor can be placed between the infrared emitting diode and the operating voltage, connected in series. By adjusting the value of the limiting resistor, the emission power of the infrared emitting diode is changed, thereby adjusting the infrared light emission distance and coverage area, improving recognition accuracy.

[0035] The aforementioned infrared light receiving circuit includes a filtering unit, a pull-up resistor, and at least one infrared receiver head. The first pin of the infrared receiver head is connected to the third pin of the controller and is connected to the operating voltage via the pull-up resistor. The second pin of the infrared receiver head is grounded through the filtering unit, and the third pin of the infrared receiver head is connected to the operating voltage.

[0036] The driving circuit for the intelligent human sensing function provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a filter circuit for power supply, an infrared light emitting circuit for emitting infrared light, and an infrared light receiving circuit for receiving infrared light. It can effectively control the emission distance and effective range of infrared light, improve the accuracy of identifying whether there are people or objects in front of the air outlet, and has a simple circuit structure, low cost, stable and reliable signal, and good EMC performance.

[0037] As a feasible implementation, a single-control infrared emitting diode cathode method is used, with one I / O port controlling whether the infrared emitting diode is turned on. The anode of the infrared emitting diode is connected to the operating voltage through multiple limiting resistors, and the cathodes of all infrared emitting diodes are connected to the first terminal of a switching element, while the second terminal of the switching element is grounded. Optionally, the anode of the infrared emitting diode is connected to the operating voltage through at least two parallel limiting resistors. Using a single-control infrared emitting diode cathode method results in a simple circuit and a low failure rate.

[0038] Achieving the required detection range using a single infrared emitting diode is difficult. In this embodiment, the infrared emitting circuit includes multiple infrared emitting diodes and multiple limiting resistors. The anodes of the infrared emitting diodes are connected to the operating voltage through multiple limiting resistors. The cathodes of all infrared emitting diodes are connected to the first terminal of the switching element, and the second terminal of the switching element is grounded. Three infrared emitting diodes are selected.

[0039] Optionally, the filtering unit of the infrared light receiving circuit described above includes multiple parallel filtering capacitors and a current-limiting resistor; the second and third pins of the infrared receiver head are respectively connected to the two ends of the filtering capacitors, and the second pin of the infrared receiver head is grounded, while the third pin is connected to the operating voltage through the current-limiting resistor. Multiple parallel filtering capacitors are connected between the operating voltage and the second and third pins (i.e., the power supply pins of the infrared receiver head), providing a filtered and stable power supply voltage to the infrared receiver head.

[0040] Optionally, the infrared light receiving circuit also includes a protective resistor, through which the first pin of the infrared receiver head is connected to the third pin of the controller. This protective resistor protects against static electricity and interference signals.

[0041] As another feasible implementation method, the anode and cathode of the infrared emitting tube can be controlled separately, with two IO ports controlling the connection between the anode and the working voltage of the infrared emitting tube, and the connection between the cathode and ground of the infrared emitting tube respectively.

[0042] In this embodiment, the infrared light emitting circuit further includes a second switching element, which is disposed between multiple limiting resistors and the operating voltage. The first terminal of the second switching element is connected to the operating voltage, the second terminal is connected to all the limiting resistors, and the control terminal of the second switching element is connected to the third pin of the controller. As described above, the first switching element controls the connection between the cathode of the infrared emitting diode and ground, and the second switching element controls the connection between the anode of the infrared emitting diode and the operating voltage. At least two parallel limiting resistors are disposed between the second switching element and the infrared emitting diode, and the anode of the infrared emitting diode is connected to the second terminal of the second switching element through these at least two parallel limiting resistors.

[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a driving circuit for an intelligent human sensing function provided in this embodiment. The driving circuit includes an infrared light emitting circuit 10, an infrared light receiving circuit 20, and a filtering circuit 30.

[0044] The infrared light emitting circuit 10 controls whether the infrared emitting diode is turned on or off via one I / O port, thereby controlling whether infrared light is emitted. Figure 1 This example uses three infrared emitting diodes (IR1, IR2, IR3) and transistors as the switching element. Figure 1 The driving circuit for the intelligent human sensing function is connected to the main control board through terminal CN1. Pin 4 (i.e., the cathode control port) controls whether the cathodes of the three infrared emitting tubes (IR1, IR2, IR3) are conducting. The controller controls whether the three infrared emitting tubes emit light through pin 4.

[0045] When pin 4 outputs a 5V high level, transistor Q1 is turned on. The 5V high level passes through multiple parallel limiting resistors R4-R9, then through infrared emitting diodes IR1, IR2, and IR3, and then through transistor Q1 to ground. At this time, the infrared light emitting circuit is turned on, and the three infrared emitting diodes IR1, IR2, and IR3 emit light simultaneously.

[0046] When pin 4 outputs a 0V low level, transistor Q1 is not conducting, the infrared light emitting circuit is not conducting, and the three infrared emitting diodes IR1, IR2, and IR3 cannot emit light. The angle of the three infrared emitting diodes can be adjusted according to the installation position to regulate the range of infrared light coverage. The three infrared emitting diodes IR1, IR2, and IR3 can be distributed in a line at equal intervals.

[0047] Figure 1In this configuration, limiting resistors R4 and R5 are connected in parallel, limiting resistors R6 and R7 are connected in parallel, and limiting resistors R8 and R9 are connected in parallel. By adjusting the resistance values, the light emission distance and infrared light coverage range can be adjusted. Optionally, the resistance values ​​of R4, R5, R6, R7, and R8 are 100Ω, and the resistance value of R9 is 120Ω.

[0048] Figure 1 In the infrared light receiving circuit 20, two identical infrared receiver heads are included, which improves the infrared receiving capability, resulting in better performance and higher reliability. The infrared light receiving circuit 20 includes infrared receiver heads REC1 and REC2, resistors R1, R2, and R3, and capacitors C5, C6, and C7.

[0049] After receiving reflected light, REC1 and REC2 output a low level on their first pin (Out pin). The controller's pin 2 (the main controller's infrared receiver port) receives this low level. When the main MCU detects this low level, it determines that there is a person or object in front of the air conditioner vent. If a high level is detected, it determines that there is no person or object. The carrier frequency of REC1 and REC2 is 56.7kHz, and the frequency of the PWM control signal emitted from pin 4 (the cathode control port) is also 56.7kHz, ensuring reliable signal reception by the infrared receiver.

[0050] R2 acts as a pull-up resistor to ensure a stable 5V level when no reflected light is received; R1 provides electrostatic discharge protection and interference prevention; R3 limits current; and C5, C6, and C7 provide filtering. Specifically, R1 has a resistance of 330Ω, R2 has a resistance of 10kΩ, and R3 has a resistance of 100Ω.

[0051] exist Figure 1 In this embodiment, the power supply filter circuit 30 includes four filter capacitors C1, C2, C3, and C4, and a surface-mount inductor L1 with capacitance values ​​of 102, 101, 103, and 104 respectively. The inductance of L1 is selected as 10uH to meet the filtering effect of different frequency bands. Since the connection line between the intelligent human sensing function drive device and the main control board is relatively long, signal coupling is inevitable. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned power supply filter circuit is used to improve EMC performance.

[0052] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another intelligent human sensing function driving circuit provided in this embodiment, showing that the driving circuit includes an infrared light emitting circuit 10, an infrared light receiving circuit 20, and a filtering circuit 30.

[0053] Figure 2 In the process, the infrared light emitting circuit controls the conduction or non-conduction of the anode and cathode of the infrared emitting tube through two I / O ports, thereby controlling whether the three infrared emitting tubes (IR1, IR2, IR3) emit infrared light. Figure 2The terminal CN1 shown is connected to the main control board, where pin 5 (i.e., the anode control port) controls the conduction of the anodes of the three infrared emitting diodes; pin 4 (i.e., the cathode control port) controls the conduction of the cathodes of the three infrared emitting diodes.

[0054] When pin 5 outputs a high level of 5V, transistor Q2 is not turned on, and infrared emitting diodes IR1 and IR2 are not powered.

[0055] When pin 5 outputs a low level of 0V, transistor Q2 is turned on, and thus 5V is supplied to the anodes of infrared emitting diodes IR1, IR2, and IR3 simultaneously through resistors R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, and R9.

[0056] When pin 4 outputs a high level of 5V, transistor Q1 is turned on. At this time, the cathodes of the three infrared emitting diodes are connected to ground. When pin 5 is at a low level, IR1 and IR4 are turned on and emit infrared light.

[0057] When pin 4 outputs a low level (0V), transistor Q1 is not conducting. At this time, the cathodes of the three infrared emitting diodes are not connected to ground, and no infrared light is emitted. Only when pin 5 outputs a low level and pin 4 simultaneously outputs a high level can the three infrared emitting diodes emit infrared light.

[0058] In the circuit described above, R4 and R5 are connected in parallel, R6 and R7 are connected in parallel, and R8 and R9 are connected in parallel. By adjusting the resistance values, the distance at which the infrared emitter emits light and the range of infrared light coverage can be adjusted.

[0059] Figure 2 The infrared light receiving circuit includes two identical sub-receiver circuits, which improves infrared reception capability, resulting in better performance and higher reliability. This circuit includes infrared receiver heads REC1 and REC2, resistors R1, R2, and R3, and capacitors C5, C6, and C7.

[0060] After infrared receivers REC1 and REC2 receive infrared light, their Out pins output a low level, and pin 2 also outputs a low level. When the main control MCU detects this low level, it determines that there is a person or object in front of the air conditioner vent. If a high level is detected, it determines that no one is present. The carrier frequency of REC1 and REC2 is 56.7kHz, therefore the frequency of the PWM control signal emitted from pin 2 (i.e., the cathode control port) is also 56.7kHz, ensuring reliable signal reception.

[0061] R2 acts as a pull-up resistor to ensure a stable voltage level of 5V when no infrared light is received; R1 provides electrostatic discharge protection and prevents interference signals; R3 limits current; C5, C6, and C7 provide a stable power supply voltage to the receiver head REC and also serve as filters.

[0062] The present invention provides a driving circuit for realizing the above-mentioned intelligent human sensing function. This circuit includes a power supply filtering circuit, an infrared light emitting circuit, and an infrared light receiving circuit. It can not only reliably control the infrared light emitting distance and effective range, but also ensure that the infrared receiving signal is stable and reliable. The circuit structure is simple, the filtering effect is good, and the EMC effect is good.

[0063] Specifically, the infrared light emitting circuit can use a single-pin control of the infrared emitting diode's cathode, controlled by one I / O port. Alternatively, it can use separate control of the infrared emitting diode's anode and cathode, controlled by two I / O ports.

[0064] Specifically, by using a parallel connection of limiting resistors, the resistance value can be flexibly adjusted, thereby adjusting the emission distance of the infrared emitting diode and the infrared light coverage range. If the number of infrared emitting diodes is too small, adjustment becomes relatively difficult; in this embodiment of the invention, three infrared emitting diodes are selected.

[0065] Specifically, the infrared light receiving circuit includes two identical infrared receiver heads, which can improve the infrared receiving capability, resulting in better performance and higher reliability.

[0066] Specifically, by connecting a pull-up resistor to the working voltage, a protective resistor for interference and static electricity prevention, and then connecting a current-limiting resistor and a filter capacitor, the infrared receiver head has a stable power supply, a stable infrared signal, and high reliability.

[0067] Specifically, the power supply filter circuit uses capacitors 102, 101, 103, and 104, along with a 10uF surface-mount inductor for synergistic filtering, to ensure that when the infrared emitter is coupled to interference signals, the filtering effect of different frequency bands can be maximized, ensuring reliable filtering and excellent EMC performance.
