Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent air conditioning technology, such as air conditioners and methods, devices, and storage media for air conditioning control. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioning has become an essential appliance in homes and offices, especially during the summer and winter seasons when it is used for extended periods. With rising living standards and increased health awareness, users are demanding higher levels of comfort from air conditioners. Traditional air conditioners deliver strong, direct cold air, resulting in poor user experience and frequent cases of "air conditioning sickness." However, with advancements in air conditioning technology, diversion technology has emerged, bringing a healthy, non-cold airflow concept.

[0003] Currently, mixed-flow operation of air conditioners can be achieved by changing the shape of the wall-mounted unit, increasing its size, or adding auxiliary devices for dedicated air supply. However, these technologies still have certain limitations, such as uneven air mixing leading to a poor user experience, or insufficient air volume, failing to truly achieve cooling without providing adequate warmth. Furthermore, adding amplitude devices or changing the shape of the wall-mounted unit increases costs, while changes in size and shape negatively impact the standardization and uniformity of the subsequent installation process.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. This summary is not intended as a general commentary, nor is it intended to identify key / important components or describe the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0006] This disclosure provides an air conditioner and a method, apparatus, and storage medium for air conditioner control, to solve the technical problem of low compatibility of air conditioners with mixed air function.

[0007] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes: a three-fold indoor heat exchanger, a cross-flow fan, a baffle, and an air inlet grille located on the panel, wherein,

[0008] In a three-fold indoor heat exchanger, the length of the third fold heat exchanger located on the first side of the cross-flow fan is shorter than the length of the second heat exchanger. The first fold heat exchanger and the second fold heat exchanger are of the same length and are located on the second side of the cross-flow fan.

[0009] The baffle located on the first side of the cross-flow fan is connected to the air conditioning control device through a motion mechanism. When the baffle is located in the first area placed side by side with the third heat exchanger, the sum of the lengths between the first length of the third heat exchanger and the second length of the baffle is less than or equal to the length of the second heat exchanger.

[0010] The area of ​​the air intake grille on the panel is opposite to the first area.

[0011] In some embodiments, the method includes:

[0012] Obtain the current temperature of the area affected by the air conditioner, and get the current absolute temperature difference between the current temperature and the target temperature;

[0013] When the current absolute temperature difference is less than or equal to the set value, if a mixed air operation command is received, the baffle placed side by side with the third heat exchanger is opened, so that the air inlet grille on the panel becomes the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan and performs mixed air operation.

[0014] In some embodiments, the device includes:

[0015] The first acquisition module is configured to acquire the current temperature of the area where the air conditioner is applied, and to obtain the current absolute temperature difference between the current temperature and the target temperature;

[0016] The first control module is configured to, when the current absolute temperature difference is less than or equal to a set value, control the baffle placed side by side with the third heat exchanger to open when a mixed air operation command is received, so that the air inlet grille on the panel becomes the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan and performs mixed air operation.

[0017] In some embodiments, the apparatus for air conditioning control includes a processor and a memory storing program instructions, the processor being configured to execute the above-described method for air conditioning control when the program instructions are executed.

[0018] In some embodiments, the storage medium stores program instructions that, when executed, perform the above-described method for air conditioning control.

[0019] The air conditioner, air conditioner control method, apparatus, and storage medium provided in this disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:

[0020] An air inlet grille is added to the panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The third fold heat exchanger in the three-fold indoor heat exchanger is shortened, and a movable baffle is added and placed side by side with the third fold heat exchanger. The first area of ​​the baffle is opposite to the area of ​​the air inlet grille on the panel. In this way, when the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode and needs to perform mixed air operation, the movable baffle makes the air inlet grille on the panel become the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan. In this way, the air intake of the cross-flow fan is entirely provided by the second air inlet, realizing the mixing of the cold air and the normal temperature air from the air conditioner. Thus, by placing the shortened third heat exchanger and the baffle in the original position of the third fold heat exchanger, mixed air operation of the air conditioner is achieved without changing the shape and volume of the indoor unit, improving the compatibility of air conditioners with mixed air function.

[0031] To provide a more detailed understanding of the features and technical content of the embodiments of this disclosure, the implementation of the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this disclosure. In the following technical description, for ease of explanation, several details are used to provide a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this disclosure described herein.

[0034] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the character " / " indicates that the objects before and after it are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B means: A or B.

[0035] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0036] In related technologies, the indoor unit of an air conditioner includes an indoor cross-flow fan and an indoor heat exchanger that partially surrounds the cross-flow fan. To save space in the indoor unit, the indoor heat exchanger can be a two-fold or three-fold type. In this embodiment, the indoor heat exchanger can be a three-fold type. However, unlike in related technologies, the length of the third fold heat exchanger located on the first side of the cross-flow fan in the three-fold indoor heat exchanger is shortened. The area where the third fold heat exchanger was originally placed is now occupied by the shortened third fold heat exchanger and a movable baffle. Furthermore, an air inlet grille is added to the panel inside the air conditioner. The area of ​​the air inlet grille on the panel is opposite to the area where the baffle is placed side by side. In this way, when the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode and needs to perform mixed air operation, the movable baffle makes the air inlet grille on the panel become the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan. Thus, the air intake of the cross-flow fan is entirely provided by the second air inlet, realizing the mixing of the cold air and normal temperature air from the air conditioner. Thus, mixed-air operation of the air conditioner is achieved without changing the shape and size of the indoor unit, improving the compatibility of air conditioners with mixed-air function.

[0037] Figure 1This is a structural schematic diagram of an indoor air conditioning unit provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 (a) is an external schematic diagram of the indoor unit of an air conditioner, while Figure 1 (b) is a schematic diagram of the interior of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, combined with... Figure 1 (a) and Figure 1 (b) The air conditioner includes: a three-fold indoor heat exchanger 100, a cross-flow fan 200, a baffle 300 and an air inlet grille 400 located on the panel.

[0038] The first heat exchanger 101 and the second heat exchanger 102 have the same shape and volume, and are located on the same side of the cross-flow fan, such as... Figure 1 As shown in (b), it can be located on the upper side of the cross-flow fan 200; while the third heat exchanger 103 is located on the other side of the cross-flow fan 200, as shown in (b). Figure 1 As shown in (b), the third heat exchanger 103 is located in front of the cross-flow fan 200, and its length is less than that of the second heat exchanger 102. That is, in the three-fold indoor heat exchanger, the length of the third heat exchanger located on the first side of the cross-flow fan is less than that of the second heat exchanger, wherein the first and second heat exchangers are of the same length and are located on the second side of the cross-flow fan.

[0039] In this embodiment, without changing the shape and volume of the indoor air conditioning unit, the length of the third heat exchanger is shortened. The area where the third heat exchanger was originally placed can now accommodate the shortened third heat exchanger 103 and a movable baffle 300. Specifically, the baffle 300, located on the first side of the cross-flow fan 200, is connected to the air conditioning control device via a motion mechanism. When the baffle 300 is located in the first area alongside the third heat exchanger 103, the sum of the first length of the third heat exchanger 301 and the second length of the baffle 300 is less than or equal to the length of the second heat exchanger 102.

[0040] The area of ​​the air inlet grille 400 on the panel is opposite to the first area. Since the baffle 300 can be moved under the control of a device for air conditioning control via a motion mechanism, the air inlet grille 400 can become the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan 200 when the baffle is not located in the first area after the baffle moves. In some embodiments, the area of ​​the air inlet grille 400 on the panel is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the first area.

[0041] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the axial section of an indoor air conditioning unit provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2As shown, when the baffle is not located in the first area, the air inlet grille 400 is connected to the first area, forming the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan 200. The air in the air-conditioned area can enter the cross-flow fan 200 through the second air inlet. Of course, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the baffle is located in the first area, the air inlet grille above the indoor unit can be the air inlet of the cross-flow fan 200, i.e., the first air inlet. When the baffle is not located in the first area, the air inlet grille 400 on the panel constitutes the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan 200.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first length of the third fold heat exchanger 103 may be equal to the second length of the baffle 300, that is, the third fold heat exchanger 103 in this embodiment is half of the third fold heat exchanger in the related art. In this way, when the device for air conditioning control controls the movement of the baffle 300 via the motion mechanism, the baffle 300 can completely cover the third fold heat exchanger 103.

[0043] Of course, in some embodiments, the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner can also be a two-fold indoor heat exchanger, that is, the third fold heat exchanger in the related technology is completely removed, and the area where the third fold heat exchanger is placed is used to place the baffle 300. The air inlet grille 400 on the panel is also enlarged, that is, the first length of the third fold heat exchanger 103 can be equal to zero. Furthermore, the device for air conditioning control controls the baffle 300 to be rotated through the motion mechanism, so that the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan 200 can be in a closed and open state.

[0044] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the device 300 for air conditioning control can move a baffle when the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode and requires mixed air operation, so that the air inlet grille on the panel becomes the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan, thereby realizing the mixed air operation of the air conditioner. The mixed air control process can be as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes:

[0045] Step 301: Obtain the current temperature of the area affected by the air conditioner in cooling mode, and obtain the current absolute temperature difference between the current temperature and the target temperature.

[0046] When the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, the air conditioner or the device used to control the air conditioner will collect the temperature of the area where the air conditioner is applied at regular intervals or in real time. The current temperature is collected at the current moment, and the current absolute temperature difference between the current temperature and the target temperature can be obtained.

[0047] Step 302: When the current absolute temperature difference is less than or equal to the set value, if a mixed air operation command is obtained, the baffle placed side by side with the third heat exchanger is opened, so that the air inlet grille on the panel becomes the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan and performs mixed air operation.

[0048] A preset value can be configured, such as 1℃, 2℃, or 2.5℃. If the current absolute temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset value, it indicates that the current temperature is close to the target temperature, and rapid cooling is not necessary. If it is determined that the air conditioner needs to operate in mixed-air mode, for example, when a mixed-air operation command is received from the user, or when the air conditioner's mixed-air operation function is enabled by default, the mixed-air operation command can be obtained, thus confirming that the air conditioner needs to operate in mixed-air mode.

[0049] In the indoor unit of an air conditioner, there is a three-fold indoor heat exchanger. The third fold heat exchanger and a movable baffle can be placed on the first side of the cross-flow fan. The area on the panel opposite the baffle has an air inlet grille. Therefore, the air conditioner or the device used for air conditioning control can move the baffle through a moving mechanism, so that the air inlet grille on the panel becomes the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan. At this time, the air intake of the cross-flow fan is entirely provided by the second air inlet, realizing the mixing of cold air and normal temperature air from the air conditioner.

[0050] Depending on the size of the baffle, there are various ways to control the opening and operation of the baffle placed alongside the third fold heat exchanger. In some embodiments, when the first length of the third fold heat exchanger is not zero, the baffle can be moved or rotated to move it towards the third fold heat exchanger until it blocks it. When the first length of the third fold heat exchanger is zero, the baffle can be rotated, i.e., rotated to be in the open state.

[0051] As can be seen, in this embodiment, the third fold heat exchanger in the three-fold indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit is shortened, and a movable baffle is added and placed side by side with the third fold heat exchanger. With an air inlet grille on the panel opposite the baffle, when the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode and requires mixed air operation, the movable baffle makes the first area placed side by side with the third fold heat exchanger become the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan. Thus, the air intake of the cross-flow fan is entirely provided by the second air inlet, achieving the mixing of cold air and normal temperature air from the air conditioner. Therefore, by placing the shortened third heat exchanger and baffle in the original location of the third fold heat exchanger, mixed air operation of the air conditioner is achieved without changing the shape and volume of the indoor unit, improving the compatibility of air conditioners with mixed air function.

[0052] In some embodiments, after controlling the baffle placed alongside the third heat exchanger to open, the system further includes controlling the air conditioning louvers to swing left and right. This can further improve the air conditioning mixing efficiency.

[0053] Of course, if the current absolute temperature difference is less than or equal to the set value, it means that the current temperature is already close to the target temperature. At this point, the indoor fan speed can be reduced. That is, when the current absolute temperature difference is less than or equal to the set value, the speed of the indoor fan can be reduced. This reduces the air volume output of the indoor fan and maintains a constant room temperature.

[0054] When the current absolute temperature difference is greater than the set value, it indicates that the area where the air conditioner is working still needs to be cooled down quickly. Therefore, it is necessary to block the second air inlet. That is, when the current absolute temperature difference is greater than the set value, the baffle is moved to the first area placed side by side with the third heat exchanger. In this way, the performance of the air conditioner is guaranteed.

[0055] The following describes the operation process in a specific embodiment, illustrating the air conditioning control process provided by the embodiments of the present invention.

[0056] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a three-fold heat exchanger. The first length of the third fold heat exchanger is equal to the second length of the movable baffle, and the sum of the first and second lengths is equal to the length of the second fold heat exchanger. The set temperature is 2℃.

[0057] Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart of an air conditioning control method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioning control process includes:

[0058] Step 401: The air conditioner operating in cooling mode obtains the current temperature Tr in the area of ​​effect and gets the current absolute temperature difference │Tr-T0│ between the current temperature and the target temperature T0.

[0059] Step 402: Determine if |Tr-T0|>2℃ is true. If yes, proceed to step 403; otherwise, proceed to step 404.

[0060] Step 403: The air conditioner moves the baffle to the first area, which is placed alongside the third heat exchanger.

[0061] This allows for rapid cooling within the area affected by the air conditioning.

[0062] Step 404: Reduce the speed of the air conditioner cross-flow fan.

[0063] Reducing the speed of the cross-flow fan can decrease the air volume output of the indoor fan, thus maintaining a constant temperature in the air-conditioned area.

[0064] Step 405: Has the mixed air operation command been obtained? If yes, proceed to step 406; otherwise, return to step 404.

[0065] Mixed air operation commands can be commands sent by the user, commands generated by the air conditioner based on the application scenario, or commands sent by other devices via communication technology.

[0066] Step 406: The air conditioner moves the baffle toward the third heat exchanger until it blocks the third heat exchanger.

[0067] After moving the baffle, as Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet grille on the panel becomes the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan. In this way, the air intake of the cross-flow fan is entirely provided by the second air inlet, realizing the mixing of the cold air and the normal temperature air from the air conditioner.

[0068] Step 407: The air conditioner controls the louvers to swing the air left and right.

[0069] This further improves the efficiency of air conditioning air mixing.

[0070] As can be seen, in this embodiment, the third fold heat exchanger in the three-fold indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit is halved, and a movable baffle of the same length is added and placed side by side with the third fold heat exchanger. After configuring the air inlet grille at the corresponding position on the panel, when the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode and needs to perform mixed air operation, the movable baffle makes the air inlet grille on the panel become the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan. In this way, the air intake of the cross-flow fan is entirely provided by the second air inlet, realizing the mixing of the cold air and normal temperature air from the air conditioner. Thus, by placing the shortened third heat exchanger and baffle in the original position of the third fold heat exchanger, mixed air operation of the air conditioner is achieved without changing the shape and volume of the indoor air conditioning unit, improving the compatibility of air conditioners with mixed air function.

[0071] Based on the above process for air conditioning control, a device for air conditioning control can be constructed.

[0072] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a structure for an air conditioning control device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. The indoor unit of the air conditioner has two parallel-operating indoor heat exchangers distributed on the left and right sides, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioning control device 500 includes: a first acquisition module 510 and a first control module 520.

[0073] The first acquisition module 510 is configured to acquire the current temperature of the area where the air conditioner is applied, and to obtain the current absolute temperature difference between the current temperature and the target temperature.

[0074] The first control module 520 is configured to, when the current absolute temperature difference is less than or equal to a set value, control the baffle placed side by side with the third heat exchanger to open when a mixed air operation command is received, so that the air inlet grille on the panel becomes the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan and performs mixed air operation.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first control module 520 includes:

[0076] The first control unit is configured to move the baffle toward the third heat exchanger until the third heat exchanger is blocked when the first length of the third heat exchanger is not zero.

[0077] The second control unit is configured to have the rotating baffle in the open state when the first length of the third heat exchanger is zero.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first control module is further configured to control the air conditioning blades to swing left and right after the baffle placed side by side with the third heat exchanger is opened.

[0079] In some embodiments, the system further includes a second control module configured to reduce the speed of the air conditioning cross-flow fan when the current absolute temperature difference is less than or equal to a set value.

[0080] In some embodiments, the system further includes a third control module configured to move the baffle to a first region placed alongside the third heat exchanger when the current absolute temperature difference is greater than a set value.

[0081] The air conditioning control process for the air conditioning control device is further described below with reference to embodiments.

[0082] In this embodiment, the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a three-fold heat exchanger. The first length of the third fold heat exchanger is equal to the second length of the movable baffle, and the sum of the first and second lengths is equal to the length of the second fold heat exchanger. The set temperature is 2℃.

[0083] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a structure for an air conditioning control device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioning control device 500 includes: a first acquisition module 510, a first control module 520, a second control module 530, and a third control module 540. The first control module 520 includes: a first control unit 521.

[0084] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the first acquisition module 510 acquires the current temperature Tr in the area of ​​action and obtains the current absolute temperature difference │Tr-T0│ between the current temperature and the target temperature T0.

[0085] If |Tr-T0| > 2℃, the third control module 540 moves the baffle to the first area, which is placed alongside the third heat exchanger. This enables rapid cooling within the air-conditioned area.

[0086] If |Tr-T0| ≤ 2℃, the second control module 530 reduces the speed of the air conditioning cross-flow fan. Furthermore, if a mixed-air operation command is received, the first control unit 521 in the second control module 520 moves the baffle towards the third heat exchanger until it blocks the third heat exchanger, and the oscillating blades oscillate left and right.

[0087] As can be seen, in this embodiment, the third fold heat exchanger in the three-fold indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit is halved, and a movable baffle of the same length is added and placed side by side with the third fold heat exchanger. An air inlet grille is configured at the corresponding position on the panel. When the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode and requires mixed-air operation, the device for air conditioner control can move the baffle, making the air inlet grille on the panel the second air inlet of the cross-flow fan. In this way, the air intake of the cross-flow fan is entirely provided by the second air inlet, achieving the mixing of cold air and normal temperature air from the air conditioner. Therefore, by placing the shortened third heat exchanger and baffle in the original location of the third fold heat exchanger, mixed-air operation of the air conditioner is achieved without changing the shape and volume of the indoor unit, improving the compatibility of air conditioners with mixed-air function.
