Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus and air conditioner for temperature control and dehumidification. Background Technology

[0002] During the plum rain season in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the humid, warm weather in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, the continuous high temperatures and humidity, coupled with poor indoor ventilation, easily lead to mold growth on clothing, food, and walls. This is especially true when no one is indoors, as the lack of air conditioning exacerbates the mold problem. Furthermore, the high indoor temperatures and humidity during rainy days hinder the body's natural heat dissipation, often making indoor temperatures feel more stuffy than outdoor temperatures.

[0003] There is currently no effective solution to the problems of indoor discomfort and mold growth caused by rainy weather in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0072] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0073] The optional embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] Example 1

[0075] This embodiment provides a temperature control and dehumidification method that uses an air conditioner for intelligent indoor temperature control and dehumidification, thereby improving human comfort.

[0076] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the temperature control and dehumidification method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0077] S101, determines the outdoor weather condition based on the outdoor ambient humidity.

[0078] S102, Determine the operating status of the air conditioner.

[0079] S103, under the current outdoor weather conditions, controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the air conditioner's operating status and indoor humidity, in order to regulate the indoor humidity and temperature.

[0080] In this embodiment, the outdoor weather condition is determined based on the outdoor ambient humidity. Different levels of outdoor humidity correspond to different outdoor weather conditions, which can reflect the stage of rainy weather, such as raining, raining, humid weather, or rain stopping.

[0081] Air conditioner operating status refers to whether the air conditioner is running, that is, whether the air conditioner is on or off. It can also be called the air conditioner's on / off status or air conditioner's open / closed status. When the air conditioner is on, it indicates that someone is in the room; when the air conditioner is off, and no action is taken after a warning and the status remains unchanged, it indicates that no one is in the room.

[0082] This embodiment monitors the outdoor humidity to determine the outdoor weather conditions. Then, based on different outdoor weather conditions, it controls the air conditioner to perform corresponding operations according to the air conditioner's operating status and indoor humidity. This predictively and precisely adjusts the indoor air conditions (i.e., indoor temperature and humidity), improving the comfort of indoor occupants. It also avoids indoor mold growth caused by the inability to process indoor air conditions when no one is indoors during continuous rainy weather. Furthermore, it avoids frequent starts or prolonged operation of the air conditioner, resulting in greater energy savings.

[0083] In one implementation, determining the outdoor weather condition based on the outdoor ambient humidity includes:

[0084] Record the outdoor humidity once every first preset time interval;

[0085] If the outdoor ambient humidity recorded this time is greater than or equal to the outdoor ambient humidity recorded last time for a consecutive preset number of times, and the outdoor ambient humidity recorded for a consecutive preset number of times is greater than or equal to the first preset humidity, then it is determined that rainy weather will occur outdoors, and it is recorded as the first weather.

[0086] If the outdoor ambient humidity recorded for a consecutive preset number of times is greater than or equal to the second preset humidity, it is determined that it has started to rain or that the weather is humid and warm, and it is recorded as the second weather.

[0087] If the outdoor ambient humidity recorded for a consecutive preset number of times is greater than or equal to the second preset humidity, and the outdoor ambient humidity recorded afterward is less than the first preset humidity, then it is determined that the rain has stopped and is recorded as the third weather.

[0088] The first preset humidity is less than the second preset humidity. The first preset humidity, the second preset humidity, the first preset time, and the number of presets can all be set according to the actual situation. For example, the first preset humidity is 60%, the second preset humidity is 80%, the first preset time is 30 minutes, and the number of presets is 8.

[0089] This implementation method distinguishes three outdoor weather conditions based on the outdoor humidity characteristics of rainy weather. It can then use the air conditioner to effectively and precisely adjust the indoor air conditions according to different outdoor weather conditions, so as to ensure the comfort of indoor occupants and avoid the situation where mold easily grows indoors when no one is present during continuous rainy weather.

[0090] The following sections describe the operation and control of the air conditioner under three different outdoor weather conditions.

[0091] (1) Under the first weather conditions, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled according to its operating status and the indoor humidity to regulate the indoor humidity and temperature, including:

[0092] If the air conditioner is off, no action will be taken; that is, the air conditioner will remain off. At this time, the outdoor humidity is not very high, no one is indoors, and the indoor and outdoor humidity is balanced. If the outdoor humidity continues to rise and reaches the level of the second weather, the control operation corresponding to the second weather will be directly activated.

[0093] If the air conditioner is on, the system determines the current indoor humidity level within a specific range and controls the air conditioner accordingly to regulate indoor humidity and temperature. In this scenario, if outdoor humidity is about to rise or it is about to rain, and the air conditioner is on, the user is likely to be at home, allowing for temperature and humidity control to improve comfort.

[0094] This implementation method determines whether there are people indoors based on the air conditioner's operating status during the first weather condition, and then executes different treatment plans, thus balancing user comfort and air conditioner energy efficiency.

[0095] Specifically, when the air conditioner is on, it is controlled according to the current indoor humidity level within the first humidity range to regulate indoor humidity and temperature, including:

[0096] If the current indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the third preset humidity, the air conditioner will be switched to the specified dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to the first preset humidity or below, at which point the air conditioner will be switched back to the original operating mode.

[0097] If the current indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the fourth preset humidity and less than the third preset humidity, the indoor unit temperature setting will be adjusted according to the current indoor humidity and the current indoor temperature.

[0098] If the current indoor humidity is lower than the fourth preset humidity, the indoor unit's set temperature will remain unchanged, while the indoor fan speed and refrigerant temperature will be adjusted to increase the outlet air temperature and reduce the dehumidification load.

[0099] The fourth preset humidity level is less than the first preset humidity level, which is less than the third preset humidity level. The third and fourth preset humidity levels can be set according to actual conditions; for example, the third preset humidity level could be 70%, and the fourth preset humidity level could be 40%. [Fourth preset humidity level, first preset humidity level] represents a suitable indoor humidity range, i.e., a comfortable range for the user. Setting a third preset humidity level, higher than the first preset humidity level, as the threshold for defining the first humidity range avoids the indoor unit frequently starting or exiting dehumidification mode due to using the first preset humidity level as the threshold. Furthermore, this humidity range of [first preset humidity level, third preset humidity level] will not significantly affect user comfort.

[0100] The designated dehumidification mode can be a normal dehumidification mode or a special dehumidification mode with better dehumidification effect, such as a low-fan, low-temperature dehumidification mode. "Low fan speed" means the fan is at a low setting, and "low temperature" means the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the cooling radiator are lower than in normal cooling mode. The original operating mode refers to the mode the air conditioner was operating in before switching to the designated dehumidification mode. The indoor unit set temperature can be the air conditioner's default setting or a user-defined setting.

[0101] This implementation method, under the condition of a first-day weather scenario and with the air conditioner on, divides the indoor ambient humidity into different ranges based on a third and fourth preset humidity level. Corresponding control operations are then implemented for each humidity range. When the indoor humidity is high, dehumidification is performed to reduce it to a comfortable range for the user. When the indoor humidity is moderate, considering the different optimal temperatures corresponding to different humidity ranges, the indoor unit's set temperature is adjusted according to the indoor temperature and humidity to ensure the indoor temperature is within the optimal range for that humidity level, further improving user comfort. When the indoor humidity is low, since the conventional cooling mode has a certain dehumidification effect, the dehumidification effect of the cooling mode is reduced to slow down the decrease in indoor humidity. Therefore, under the condition of a first-day weather scenario and with the air conditioner on, different processing schemes are executed for different humidity ranges, achieving precise temperature and humidity control while balancing user comfort and air conditioner energy efficiency.

[0102] Furthermore, the indoor unit's set temperature is adjusted based on the current indoor humidity and temperature, including:

[0103] Within a humidity range that is greater than or equal to the fourth preset humidity and less than the third preset humidity, the current indoor humidity range is determined according to a preset threshold.

[0104] Based on the pre-stored information, determine the most suitable indoor temperature range corresponding to this humidity range;

[0105] If the current indoor ambient temperature is within the most suitable indoor temperature range, then keep the current indoor unit setting temperature unchanged;

[0106] If the current indoor temperature is not within the optimal indoor temperature range and exceeds the upper limit of the optimal indoor temperature range, then adjust the indoor unit temperature setting to the upper limit.

[0107] If the current indoor temperature is not within the optimal indoor temperature range and is lower than the lower limit of the optimal indoor temperature range, then the indoor unit temperature setting will be adjusted to the lower limit.

[0108] The humidity range is a further subdivision of the first humidity range. Pre-stored information refers to the pre-stored correspondence between indoor humidity ranges and optimal indoor temperature ranges. For example, if the indoor humidity range is 60%–70%, the corresponding optimal indoor temperature range is 18℃–22℃; if the indoor humidity range is 50%–60%, the corresponding optimal indoor temperature range is 19℃–23℃.

[0109] This implementation determines the optimal indoor temperature based on the indoor ambient temperature and humidity. If the current indoor ambient temperature is within the optimal temperature range corresponding to the current indoor humidity, there is no need to adjust the indoor unit's set temperature. If the current indoor ambient temperature is not within the optimal temperature range corresponding to the current indoor humidity, the indoor unit's set temperature is adjusted according to the closest extreme temperature. For example, if the current indoor humidity is 65% and the current indoor ambient temperature is 24°C, the indoor unit's set temperature is set to 22°C. Therefore, under the first weather conditions, when the air conditioner is turned on and the indoor humidity is suitable, the indoor unit's set temperature is adjusted according to the indoor ambient temperature and humidity to keep the indoor temperature within the optimal temperature range for that humidity level, further improving indoor comfort.

[0110] (2) Under the second weather conditions, the air conditioner is operated according to its operating status and indoor humidity to regulate indoor humidity and temperature, including:

[0111] If the air conditioner is off, the system determines the current indoor humidity level within a second humidity range, issues a humidity warning based on this range, and controls the air conditioner to dehumidify based on whether the warning is responded to and changes in indoor humidity. In this situation, outdoor humidity is high, and the room is likely unoccupied; the primary function is dehumidification to ensure indoor comfort and prevent mold growth.

[0112] If the air conditioner is on, the system determines the current indoor humidity level within a first humidity range and controls the air conditioner accordingly to regulate indoor humidity and temperature. In this scenario, it is raining outside, the indoor temperature is high, and the humidity is also high, which affects the body's normal heat dissipation and results in poor comfort. Since the air conditioner is on and the user is likely at home, temperature and humidity control is necessary to improve comfort.

[0113] This implementation method determines whether there are people indoors based on the air conditioner's operating status during the second weather, and then executes different treatment plans to effectively and accurately control indoor temperature and humidity, ensuring indoor comfort.

[0114] Specifically, when the air conditioner is off, a humidity warning is issued based on the second humidity range, and the air conditioner is controlled to dehumidify based on whether the humidity warning is responded to and changes in indoor humidity, including:

[0115] If the current indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the second preset humidity, an alarm for high indoor humidity will be output, and the air conditioner will be controlled to dehumidify according to whether the alarm for high indoor humidity is responded to and the change in indoor humidity.

[0116] If the current indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the first preset humidity and less than the second preset humidity, the indoor humidity will be continuously monitored. If the indoor humidity continues to rise, an indoor humidity rise warning will be output, and the air conditioner will be controlled to dehumidify according to whether the indoor humidity rise warning is responded to and the changes in indoor humidity.

[0117] If the current indoor humidity is lower than the first preset humidity, no action is taken; that is, the air conditioner remains off. On the second day, if the outdoor humidity is high but the indoor humidity is low, it indicates the room is sealed and dehumidification is unnecessary.

[0118] In this implementation, under the condition of a second day when the air conditioner is off, different indoor humidity ranges are defined based on a first preset humidity level and a second preset humidity level. Corresponding control operations are then implemented for each humidity range. When the indoor humidity is high, a humidity warning is issued. The presence or absence of a response to the warning determines whether someone is in the room, and corresponding dehumidification control is executed based on the changes in indoor humidity to reduce it to a suitable range. When the indoor humidity is low, the air conditioner maintains its current state. Therefore, under the condition of a second day when the air conditioner is off, different processing schemes are implemented for different humidity ranges, achieving targeted dehumidification control, ensuring indoor comfort, and preventing indoor mold growth.

[0119] Furthermore, the air conditioner is controlled to dehumidify based on whether a high indoor humidity warning is responded to and changes in indoor humidity, including:

[0120] After issuing a warning about high indoor humidity, if no air conditioner start command is received within the second preset time and the indoor humidity remains greater than or equal to the second preset humidity, the air conditioner will automatically start the specified dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to the fourth preset humidity or below, at which point the air conditioner will stop operating.

[0121] If an air conditioner start command is received within the second preset time, and the indoor humidity is less than the second preset humidity, the air conditioner will be controlled to operate in the set mode; if the indoor humidity is continuously greater than or equal to the second preset humidity, the air conditioner will be controlled to switch to the specified dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to the first preset humidity or below, at which point the air conditioner will be controlled to switch back to the original operating mode.

[0122] The second preset time can be set according to actual conditions; for example, the first preset time is 10 minutes. After issuing a warning about high indoor humidity, if no air conditioner start command is received within the second preset time (i.e., the warning is not responded to), it means that no one is in the room. If an air conditioner start command is received within the second preset time (i.e., the warning is responded to), it means that someone is in the room.

[0123] This implementation method, after outputting a warning about high indoor humidity, determines whether there are people in the room based on whether the warning is responded to. If there are no people in the room, there is no need to consider whether the indoor humidity is comfortable; it is only necessary to reduce the indoor humidity to prevent mold growth. Also, high outdoor humidity will transfer moisture into the room. If there are people in the room, human comfort needs to be considered, and the indoor humidity needs to be reduced to a first preset humidity or below. Thus, by combining whether there are people in the room and the changes in indoor humidity, appropriate dehumidification control can be carried out to reduce the indoor humidity to a suitable range.

[0124] Furthermore, the air conditioner is controlled to dehumidify based on whether an alert for increased indoor humidity is triggered and changes in indoor humidity, including:

[0125] After issuing an alert for increased indoor humidity, if no air conditioner start command is received within the second preset time and the indoor humidity continues to rise, the air conditioner will automatically start the designated dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to the fourth preset humidity or below, at which point the air conditioner will stop operating.

[0126] If an air conditioner start command is received within the second preset time, and the indoor humidity is less than the second preset humidity, the air conditioner will be controlled to operate in the set mode; if the indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the second preset humidity, the air conditioner will be controlled to switch to the specified dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to the first preset humidity or below, at which point the air conditioner will be controlled to switch back to the original operating mode.

[0127] This embodiment outputs an alert for increased indoor humidity. Based on whether the alert is responded to, it determines whether anyone is in the room. If no one is in the room, there is no need to consider whether the indoor humidity is comfortable. It is only necessary to reduce the indoor humidity to prevent mold growth. Also, high outdoor humidity will transfer moisture into the room. If someone is in the room, human comfort needs to be considered and the indoor humidity should be reduced to a first preset humidity or below. Thus, by combining whether someone is in the room and the changes in indoor humidity, appropriate dehumidification control can be carried out to reduce the indoor humidity to a suitable range.

[0128] In the second weather, if the air conditioner is on, it will be controlled according to the first humidity range of the current indoor environment to adjust the indoor humidity and temperature. The specific implementation steps are the same as the specific control method when the air conditioner is on in the first weather, and will not be repeated here.

[0129] (3) Under the third weather conditions, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled according to its operating status and indoor humidity to regulate indoor humidity and temperature, including:

[0130] If the air conditioner is off, determine the third humidity range of the current indoor environment, issue a humidity warning based on the third humidity range, and control the air conditioner to dehumidify based on whether the humidity warning is responded to.

[0131] If the air conditioner is on, the first humidity range of the current indoor environment is determined, and the air conditioner is controlled according to the first humidity range to adjust the indoor humidity and temperature.

[0132] This implementation method determines whether there are people indoors based on the air conditioner's operating status during the third weather, and then executes different treatment plans to effectively and accurately control indoor temperature and humidity, ensuring indoor comfort.

[0133] It should be noted that the threshold values ​​for the first, second, and third humidity ranges are different.

[0134] Specifically, when the air conditioner is off, a humidity warning is issued based on the third humidity range, and the air conditioner is controlled to dehumidify based on whether the humidity warning is responded to, including:

[0135] If the current indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the first preset humidity, an alert for high indoor humidity will be issued. If no air conditioner start command is received within the second preset time and the indoor humidity continues to be greater than or equal to the first preset humidity, the air conditioner will automatically start the specified dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to the fourth preset humidity or below, at which point the air conditioner will stop operating. If an air conditioner start command is received within the second preset time, the air conditioner will be controlled to operate according to the set mode.

[0136] If the current indoor humidity is lower than the first preset humidity, no action will be taken; that is, the air conditioner will remain off.

[0137] In this embodiment, under the condition of a third day with the air conditioner off, different indoor humidity ranges are defined based on a first preset humidity level. Corresponding control operations are then implemented for each humidity range. When the indoor humidity is high, a humidity warning is issued. The presence or absence of a response to the warning determines whether anyone is in the room. Based on these changes in humidity, corresponding dehumidification control is executed to reduce the indoor humidity to a suitable range. When the indoor humidity is low, the air conditioner remains off. Thus, under the condition of a third day with the air conditioner off, different processing schemes are implemented for different humidity ranges, achieving targeted dehumidification control and ensuring indoor comfort.

[0138] Specifically, when the air conditioner is on, controlling the air conditioner according to the first humidity range to adjust the indoor humidity and temperature includes:

[0139] If the current indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the third preset humidity, the air conditioner will be switched to the specified dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to the first preset humidity or below, at which point the air conditioner will be switched back to the original operating mode.

[0140] If the current indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the fourth preset humidity and less than the third preset humidity, the indoor unit temperature setting will be adjusted according to the current indoor humidity and the current outdoor temperature. In the third weather condition, the outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is low, and the user may go out. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the indoor temperature is suitable and to balance the indoor and outdoor temperatures to reduce the temperature difference.

[0141] If the current indoor humidity is lower than the fourth preset humidity, the indoor unit's set temperature will remain unchanged, while the indoor fan speed and refrigerant temperature will be adjusted to increase the outlet air temperature and reduce the dehumidification load.

[0142] In this implementation, under the condition of a third day with the air conditioner on, different indoor humidity ranges are defined based on a third and fourth preset humidity level. Corresponding control operations are then implemented for each humidity range. When the indoor humidity is high, dehumidification is performed to reduce it to a comfortable range for the user. When the indoor humidity is moderate, considering the different optimal temperatures corresponding to different humidity ranges, the indoor unit's set temperature is adjusted based on the indoor humidity and outdoor temperature to ensure the indoor temperature remains within the optimal range for that humidity level. This also reduces the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, preventing discomfort caused by large temperature differences after rain, thus further improving user comfort. When the indoor humidity is low, since the conventional cooling mode has a certain dehumidification effect, the dehumidification effect of the cooling mode is reduced to slow the decline in indoor humidity. Therefore, under the condition of a third day with the air conditioner on, different processing schemes are implemented for different humidity ranges to achieve precise temperature and humidity control and ensure indoor comfort.

[0143] Furthermore, the indoor unit's set temperature is adjusted based on the current indoor humidity and outdoor temperature, including:

[0144] Within a humidity range that is greater than or equal to the fourth preset humidity and less than the third preset humidity, the current indoor humidity range is determined according to a preset threshold.

[0145] Based on the pre-stored information, determine the most suitable indoor temperature range corresponding to this humidity range;

[0146] If the current outdoor ambient temperature is within the most suitable indoor temperature range, then adjust the indoor unit's set temperature to be equal to the current outdoor ambient temperature.

[0147] If the current outdoor ambient temperature is outside the optimal indoor temperature range and exceeds the upper limit of the optimal indoor temperature range, then adjust the indoor unit temperature setting to the upper limit.

[0148] If the current outdoor ambient temperature is not within the optimal indoor temperature range and is lower than the lower limit of the optimal indoor temperature range, then adjust the indoor unit temperature setting to the lower limit.

[0149] This implementation determines the optimal indoor temperature based on indoor humidity and outdoor temperature. If the current outdoor temperature falls within the optimal indoor temperature range corresponding to the current indoor humidity, there is no need to adjust the indoor unit's set temperature. If the current outdoor temperature is outside the optimal indoor temperature range corresponding to the current indoor humidity, the indoor unit's set temperature is adjusted according to the closest extreme temperature, i.e., the closest extreme temperature is used as the new indoor unit set temperature. Therefore, in the third day of the month, when the air conditioner is turned on and the indoor humidity is suitable, the indoor unit's set temperature is adjusted based on the indoor humidity and outdoor temperature to keep the indoor temperature within the optimal range for that humidity level. This also reduces the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, improves the user's adaptability to outdoor temperatures, and prevents discomfort caused by excessive temperature differences when going out after rain.

[0150] Considering that the outdoor humidity is low on the third day, the probability of moisture transfer from the outside to the inside is not high. Therefore, on the third day, in addition to adjusting the indoor fan speed and refrigerant temperature, a low indoor humidity reminder can also be issued to remind users to take appropriate humidification measures.

[0151] Example 2

[0152] The above-described temperature control and dehumidification method is described below with reference to a specific embodiment. However, it is worth noting that this specific embodiment is only for better illustration of this application and does not constitute an improper limitation of this application. The same or corresponding terminology as in the above embodiment will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0153] This embodiment provides a control method for automatically controlling indoor temperature and dehumidification using an air conditioner to improve human comfort, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0154] S201, Outdoor air condition monitoring.

[0155] S202, Outdoor weather condition assessment.

[0156] S203, Indoor environmental status and indoor unit operating status detection.

[0157] S204, Indoor air condition regulation.

[0158] I. Outdoor air condition monitoring and outdoor weather condition assessment

[0159] Outdoor ambient humidity was recorded every hour, denoted by 'a'. Monitoring data at different times were denoted by 'a'. n express.

[0160] If 'a' appears 5 times consecutively n ≥a n-1 And a n>60% indicates that rainy weather is expected outdoors, and is denoted as Weather A.

[0161] If 'a' appears 5 times consecutively n ≥80% indicates that it has started to rain or that the weather is experiencing a return of warm, humid conditions, and is denoted as Weather B.

[0162] If 'a' appears 5 times consecutively n ≥80% and a n+1 <60% indicates that the rain has stopped, and is recorded as weather C.

[0163] II. Indoor Air Condition Adjustment under Different Outdoor Weather Conditions

[0164] Indoor humidity is represented by b, indoor temperature by c, and outdoor temperature by d.

[0165] 1. When weather condition A occurs, check the operating status of the air conditioner;

[0166] (1) If the air conditioner is off, no action is taken. At this time, there is no one in the room and the indoor and outdoor humidity is balanced.

[0167] (2) If the air conditioner is on, the indoor humidity will be detected. At this time, the outdoor humidity will be high or it will rain. The user will most likely be at home, so temperature and humidity control will be used to improve comfort.

[0168] If the indoor humidity b is ≥ 70%, the air conditioner will switch to the low fan speed and low temperature dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to 60% or below, at which point the air conditioner will switch back to its original operating mode.

[0169] The ideal indoor humidity level is generally between 40% and 60%. In this case, the indoor humidity is too high, requiring dehumidification. Furthermore, the outdoor humidity is also above 60%, meaning outdoor humidity may be entering the room. If 60% is chosen as the threshold, the indoor unit will frequently activate or deactivate dehumidification mode when the indoor humidity is around 60%. Additionally, the standard cooling mode has some dehumidification capacity, and humidity levels between 60% and 70% will not significantly affect comfort. Therefore, dedicated dehumidification is necessary when the indoor humidity is above or equal to 70%.

[0170] If the indoor humidity is 40% ≤ b < 70%, measure the indoor temperature c. According to Table 1 below, determine the most suitable indoor temperature range based on the humidity range of the indoor environment. If the indoor temperature c is within the range, do not adjust the indoor unit's temperature setting; if the indoor temperature c exceeds the range, adjust the indoor unit's temperature setting according to the closest extreme temperature. For example, if the indoor humidity is 65% and the indoor temperature is 24℃, the indoor unit's temperature setting should be corrected to 22℃; if the indoor humidity is 55% and the indoor temperature is 18℃, the indoor unit's temperature setting should be corrected to 19℃.

[0171] Table 1. Correspondence between indoor humidity ranges and optimal indoor temperature ranges

[0172] Indoor humidity Indoor temperature 60～70％ 18～22℃ 50～60％ 19～23℃ 40～50％ 20～24℃

[0173] If the indoor humidity b < 40%, keep the indoor unit's set temperature unchanged, and adjust the indoor unit's fan speed and refrigerant temperature to increase the outlet air temperature and reduce the dehumidification load.

[0174] 2. When weather type B occurs, check the operating status of the air conditioner;

[0175] (1) If the air conditioner is off, detect the indoor humidity. In this case, humidity is controlled but temperature is not.

[0176] If the indoor humidity (b) is ≥ 80%, the air conditioner will issue a high humidity warning. If no start command is received within 10 minutes and the indoor humidity (b) remains ≥ 80%, the air conditioner will automatically activate the low-fan, low-temperature dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to 40% or below, at which point the air conditioner will stop operating. If a start command is received within 10 minutes and the indoor humidity (b) is < 80%, the air conditioner will operate according to the set mode. If the indoor humidity (b) remains ≥ 80%, the air conditioner will switch to the low-fan, low-temperature dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to 60% or below, at which point the air conditioner will switch back to its original operating mode. In short, humidity control is implemented under high indoor humidity conditions.

[0177] If the indoor humidity is 60% ≤ b < 80%, the air conditioner will continuously monitor changes in indoor humidity. If the indoor humidity continues to rise, the air conditioner will issue a warning about the increased indoor humidity. If no dehumidification start command is received within 10 minutes and the indoor humidity continues to rise, the air conditioner will automatically start the low-fan, low-temperature dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to 40% or below, at which point the air conditioner will stop operating. If an air conditioner start command is received within 10 minutes, and the indoor humidity is b < 80%, the air conditioner will operate according to the set mode. If the indoor humidity is b ≥ 80%, the air conditioner will switch to the low-fan, low-temperature dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to 60% or below, at which point the air conditioner will switch back to its original operating mode. In this situation, outdoor humidity will transfer into the room, requiring humidity control.

[0178] If the indoor humidity (b) is less than 60%, the air conditioner will remain off. In this case, the outdoor humidity is high while the indoor humidity is low, indicating the room is enclosed and dehumidification is unnecessary.

[0179] (2) If the air conditioner is on, detect the indoor humidity. The control method is the same as when the weather is A and the air conditioner is on, so it will not be repeated.

[0180] 3. When weather condition C occurs, check the operating status of the air conditioner;

[0181] (1) If the air conditioner is off, check the indoor humidity;

[0182] If the indoor humidity (b) is ≥ 60%, the air conditioner will issue a high indoor humidity warning. If no start command is received within 10 minutes and the indoor humidity remains ≥ 60%, the air conditioner will automatically activate the low-fan, low-temperature dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to 40% or below, at which point the air conditioner will stop operating. If a start command is received within 10 minutes, the air conditioner will operate according to its set mode. In this situation, the indoor humidity is high and the outdoor humidity is low, posing no risk of imported humidity, thus enabling humidity control.

[0183] If the indoor humidity b < 60%, the air conditioner will not take any action and will remain off.

[0184] (2) If the air conditioner is on, check the indoor humidity. In this case, the outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is low. The user may go out, so it is necessary to ensure that the indoor temperature is suitable and to balance the indoor and outdoor temperatures, and reduce the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors.

[0185] If the indoor humidity b is ≥ 70%, the air conditioner will switch to the low fan speed and low temperature dehumidification mode until the indoor humidity drops to 60% or below, at which point the air conditioner will switch back to its original operating mode.

[0186] If the indoor humidity is 40% ≤ b < 70%, measure the outdoor ambient temperature d. According to Table 1 above, determine the most suitable indoor temperature range based on the humidity range of the indoor environment. If the outdoor ambient temperature d is within the indoor temperature range, the indoor unit's set temperature is adjusted according to the outdoor ambient temperature d (using the current outdoor ambient temperature as the indoor unit's set temperature); if the outdoor ambient temperature d exceeds the indoor temperature range, the set temperature is based on the closest extreme temperature. For example, if the indoor humidity is 65% and the outdoor ambient temperature is 24℃, the indoor unit's set temperature is corrected to 22℃.

[0187] If the indoor humidity b < 40%, keep the indoor unit's set temperature unchanged, and adjust the indoor unit's fan speed and refrigerant temperature to increase the air outlet temperature and reduce the dehumidification amount. At the same time, the air conditioner will issue a low indoor humidity warning.

[0188] This embodiment provides a control method for intelligent automatic temperature and humidity control and dehumidification of indoor air using an air conditioner to improve human comfort. By monitoring outdoor air conditions and determining outdoor weather conditions, the method predictively and precisely adjusts indoor air conditions to improve the comfort of indoor occupants. This solves the problem of user discomfort caused by high indoor temperature and humidity during rainy weather, and also avoids mold growth indoors during continuous rainy weather when no one is present. By specifically addressing indoor air conditions based on indoor humidity and the different operating states of the indoor unit, the method ensures user comfort and avoids frequent start-ups or prolonged operation of the air conditioner, resulting in greater energy savings. In the third weather condition, it reduces the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, improving users' adaptability to outdoor temperatures and preventing discomfort caused by large temperature differences after rain.
