Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning equipment control technology, specifically to an air conditioning control method. Background Technology
[0002] Air conditioning equipment is used to regulate the temperature and humidity of indoor air. The effectiveness of air conditioning in regulating indoor air is related to the airtightness of the indoor environment; the better the airtightness, the more efficient the air conditioning equipment is in regulating the indoor air. However, even in well-sealed indoor environments, oxygen is consumed through respiration by humans and animals, leading to a decrease in the oxygen content of the indoor air. Current technologies involve air conditioning equipment exchanging outdoor and indoor air to increase the oxygen content of the indoor air. However, simply exchanging outdoor and indoor air has extremely low efficiency in increasing the oxygen content of the indoor air. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art and provide an air conditioning control method that can efficiently increase indoor oxygen content and improve indoor air quality.
[0004] A first aspect of this application provides an air conditioning control method applied to an air conditioning device, the air conditioning device including an oxygen generator unit installed outdoors and an indoor unit installed indoors; the indoor unit includes: an indoor unit, a first ion generating module and a second ion generating module, the output terminal of the oxygen generator unit is connected to the oxygen input terminal of the indoor unit, and the output terminals of the first ion generating module and the second ion generating module are respectively connected to the output terminal of the indoor unit;
[0005] The air conditioning control method includes:
[0006] In response to a gas regulation command, the first ion generating module and the second ion generating module are activated, and the nano water ions output by the first ion generating module are delivered to the indoor unit, and the negative ions output by the second ion generating module are delivered to the indoor unit.
[0007] Monitor the real-time oxygen concentration indoors;
[0008] If the real-time oxygen concentration is less than the preset oxygen concentration threshold, the oxygen generator is started, and the oxygen output by the oxygen generator is delivered to the indoor unit.
[0009] The indoor unit is driven to output the oxygen, the nano water ions, and the negative ions into the room.
[0010] Compared to related technologies, this application monitors the real-time oxygen concentration indoors. When the real-time oxygen concentration is lower than a preset oxygen concentration threshold, it delivers oxygen from the oxygen generator to the indoor unit, releasing the oxygen into the room, thereby achieving the technical effect of efficiently increasing the indoor oxygen content. Furthermore, this application also delivers nano-water ions output from the first ion generating module and negative ions output from the second ion generating module to the indoor unit, releasing oxygen, nano-water ions, and negative ions together into the room. This not only increases the indoor oxygen content but also purifies the indoor air through the nano-water ions and negative ions, thus improving indoor air quality.

The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0019] The air conditioning control method of this application is applied to an air conditioning device, which includes an oxygen generator unit installed outdoors and an indoor unit installed indoors. The indoor unit includes an indoor unit, a first ion generating module, and a second ion generating module. The output terminal of the oxygen generator unit is connected to the oxygen input terminal of the indoor unit. The output terminals of the first and second ion generating modules are respectively connected to the output terminals of the indoor unit. When gas is transmitted from the output terminal of the indoor unit to the room, nano-water ions released from the output terminal of the first ion generating module and negative ions released from the output terminal of the second ion generating module are transmitted into the room along with the gas transmitted from the output terminal of the indoor unit.
[0020] An oxygen generator unit is a modular device used to extract oxygen from the air. Specifically, the oxygen generator unit filters the outdoor air it draws in and then extracts oxygen from the filtered air.
[0021] An indoor unit is a modular device used for gas interaction with indoor air. Specifically, an indoor unit can release cooled or heated gas into the room to regulate the indoor air.
[0022] The first ion generating module refers to the module equipment used to generate nano water ions. Nano water ions are nano-sized charged water particles containing a large number of OH free radicals. They can decompose or deactivate organic matter such as odors, bacteria, and allergens by capturing hydrogen (H). They have seven major functions, including removing bacteria and mold, removing odors, effectively inhibiting pollen allergens and other allergens, decomposing common harmful substances in PM2.5, and beauty and moisturizing.
[0023] The second ion generating module refers to the module equipment used to generate negative ions. Negative ions refer to negative (oxygen) ions in the air, which are a general term for single gas molecules and light ion clusters with negative charges. Negative ions can be obtained by ionizing positive and negative ions in the air with high voltage. Negative ions can effectively combine with harmful substances such as bacteria and dust, and play a role in purifying the air by reducing dust, inhibiting bacteria, removing bacteria, and deodorizing.
[0024] By connecting the output end of the oxygen generator to the oxygen input end of the indoor unit, and connecting the output ends of the first ion generating module and the second ion generating module to the output end of the indoor unit respectively, the nano water ions output by the first ion generating module and the negative ions output by the second ion generating module are transported to the output end of the indoor unit. Thus, the nano water ions and negative ions are output into the room through the output end of the indoor unit, thereby purifying the indoor air and improving the indoor air quality.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an air conditioning control method according to an embodiment of this application. The air conditioning control method according to this embodiment includes:
[0026] S1: In response to the gas regulation command, the first ion generating module and the second ion generating module are activated, and the nano water ions output by the first ion generating module are delivered to the indoor unit, and the negative ions output by the second ion generating module are delivered to the indoor unit.
[0027] Gas regulation commands are control instructions sent by a remote control device to an air conditioning unit. Specifically, the user operates the remote control device, which can be a remote controller or a terminal device with software installed to control the air conditioning unit. When the air conditioning unit is already running, the indoor unit is already in operation. Upon receiving the gas regulation command, the air conditioning unit activates the first and second ion generating modules. The first ion generating module outputs nano-water ions, and the second ion generating module outputs negative ions, releasing both nano-water ions and negative ions into the room. When the air conditioning unit is not running, the indoor unit is not in operation. Upon receiving the gas regulation command, the air conditioning unit activates the indoor unit, the first ion generating module, and the second ion generating module. The first ion generating module outputs nano-water ions, and the second ion generating module outputs negative ions, releasing both nano-water ions and negative ions into the room.
[0028] Since the first and second ion generating modules do not affect the indoor oxygen concentration, they can be activated whenever it is necessary to adjust the indoor gas to improve indoor air quality, without waiting for the indoor oxygen concentration monitoring results.
[0029] S2: Monitors the real-time oxygen concentration in the room.
[0030] The oxygen concentration can be detected in real time using an oxygen detection instrument. The monitored real-time oxygen concentration can be displayed on the indoor unit's display module, or it can be transmitted to a terminal device for display. This allows users to conveniently view the real-time oxygen concentration at any time via either the indoor unit's display module or the terminal device's screen. The indoor unit's display module can be a display screen.
[0031] S3: If the real-time oxygen concentration is less than the preset oxygen concentration threshold, start the oxygen generator and deliver the oxygen output by the oxygen generator to the indoor unit.
[0032] The oxygen concentration threshold can be set by the user within a preset threshold range. This threshold range is the range of values set at the factory when the air conditioning equipment leaves the factory, and the user-set oxygen concentration threshold cannot exceed this range. Oxygen refers to a gas with a higher oxygen content than ordinary air.
[0033] S4: Drive the indoor unit to output the oxygen, the nano water ions and the negative ions into the room.
[0034] Compared to related technologies, this application monitors the real-time oxygen concentration indoors. When the real-time oxygen concentration is lower than a preset oxygen concentration threshold, it delivers oxygen from the oxygen generator to the indoor unit, releasing the oxygen into the room, thereby achieving the technical effect of efficiently increasing the indoor oxygen content. Furthermore, this application also delivers nano-water ions output from the first ion generating module and negative ions output from the second ion generating module to the indoor unit, releasing oxygen, nano-water ions, and negative ions together into the room. This not only increases the indoor oxygen content but also purifies the indoor air through the nano-water ions and negative ions, thus improving indoor air quality.
[0035] Please see Figure 2 In one feasible embodiment, the step of delivering the oxygen output from the oxygen generator to the indoor unit in step S3 includes:
[0036] S31: Based on the preset correlation between oxygen concentration and oxygen output flow rate, the oxygen output flow rate corresponding to the real-time oxygen concentration is determined by the oxygen generator; wherein, the lower the real-time oxygen concentration, the greater the corresponding oxygen output flow rate.
[0037] The relationship between oxygen concentration and oxygen output flow rate includes multiple oxygen concentration threshold ranges and different percentage values of oxygen output flow rate corresponding to each threshold range. For example, the first oxygen concentration threshold range is less than 20%, with a corresponding oxygen output flow rate of 100%; the second range is greater than or equal to 20% and less than 20.5%, with a corresponding oxygen output flow rate of 90%; and the third range is greater than or equal to 20.5% and less than 21%, with a corresponding oxygen output flow rate of 80%. The above examples only provide a feasible way to set the relationship between oxygen concentration and oxygen output flow rate, and do not constitute a numerical limitation on the relationship.
[0038] The relationship between oxygen concentration and oxygen output flow rate can also be one-to-one.
[0039] The oxygen output flow rate can be controlled by changing the compressor frequency, or by installing a flow control valve between the compressor and the indoor unit.
[0040] S32: Drive the oxygen generator to deliver oxygen to the indoor unit according to the oxygen output flow rate.
[0041] In this embodiment, the oxygen generator delivers oxygen to the indoor unit according to the oxygen output flow rate corresponding to the real-time oxygen concentration. This can control the amount of oxygen output from the indoor unit to the room, thereby helping to stably increase the oxygen content of the indoor gas.
[0042] Please see Figure 3 In one feasible embodiment, the step of driving the oxygen generator to deliver oxygen to the indoor unit according to the oxygen output flow rate in S32 includes:
[0043] S321: After outputting the oxygen at the oxygen output flow rate for a first preset time, obtain the real-time oxygen concentration at at least two preset time nodes during the first preset time.
[0044] The first preset time is in minutes, such as 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.
[0045] The preset time node refers to two time points within a first preset time period. For example, if the first preset time is 2 minutes, the preset time node can be the 0th second, 10th second, 30th second, 60th second, 90th second, or 120th second within the 2 minutes of the first preset time.
[0046] S322: Obtain the corresponding oxygen flow coefficient based on at least two preset time points and the corresponding real-time oxygen concentration.
[0047] If two preset time points and their corresponding real-time oxygen concentrations are obtained, the oxygen concentration improvement efficiency can be calculated based on the time difference between the two preset time points and the oxygen concentration difference between the two real-time oxygen concentrations. Then, the corresponding oxygen flow coefficient can be obtained based on the oxygen concentration improvement efficiency. Different values of oxygen concentration improvement efficiency correspond to different oxygen flow coefficients. A higher oxygen concentration improvement efficiency indicates a smaller indoor space or a slower oxygen consumption rate, thus resulting in a smaller oxygen flow coefficient. The time difference between the two preset time points can be fixed. That is, after obtaining the real-time oxygen concentration at the first preset time point, the real-time oxygen concentration at the second preset time point is obtained after a fixed time difference. In this case, the oxygen concentration improvement efficiency can be directly determined based on the oxygen concentration difference between the two real-time oxygen concentrations.
[0048] S323: Update the oxygen output flow rate according to the oxygen flow rate coefficient, and drive the oxygen generator to output oxygen to the indoor unit according to the updated oxygen output flow rate.
[0049] The updated oxygen output flow rate is the product of the original oxygen output flow rate and the oxygen flow rate coefficient.
[0050] In this embodiment, when the oxygen output flow rate is fixed, the amount of oxygen output to the room by the indoor unit per unit time is also fixed. Therefore, the changes in indoor oxygen content can be reflected based on the real-time oxygen concentration at different time points. The changes in indoor oxygen content are not only related to the amount of oxygen output by the indoor unit, but also to the size of the room and the indoor oxygen consumption efficiency. Therefore, the oxygen flow rate coefficient obtained based on the real-time oxygen concentration at different time points combines information such as the size of the room and the indoor oxygen consumption efficiency. The oxygen output flow rate updated based on the oxygen flow rate coefficient also takes into account the influence of the size of the room and the indoor oxygen consumption efficiency, which can more stably improve the oxygen content of the indoor gas.
[0051] In a feasible embodiment, step S34: obtaining the corresponding oxygen flow coefficient based on at least two preset time points and the corresponding real-time oxygen concentration, includes:
[0052] S341: Based on at least two preset time points and the corresponding real-time oxygen concentration, construct an indoor oxygen concentration rise function to obtain the function parameters of the oxygen concentration rise function.
[0053] The oxygen concentration increase function is a polynomial, and its parameters can be obtained by fitting multiple preset time points and corresponding real-time oxygen concentrations. The parameters of the oxygen concentration increase function reflect the efficiency of the oxygen concentration increase. The more preset time points and corresponding real-time oxygen concentrations are obtained, the more accurate the oxygen concentration increase efficiency reflected by the function parameters will be.
[0054] S342: Input the real-time oxygen concentration and the function parameters into the trained flow coefficient network model to obtain the oxygen flow coefficient output by the flow coefficient network model.
[0055] The flow coefficient network model can be a neural network model, trained based on multiple sets of real-time oxygen concentrations and sample function parameters. The flow coefficient network model can calculate the corresponding oxygen concentration enhancement efficiency based on the real-time oxygen concentration and function parameters, and then obtain the corresponding oxygen flow coefficient based on the oxygen concentration enhancement efficiency.
[0056] In this embodiment, an oxygen concentration rise function is constructed based on multiple preset time nodes and corresponding real-time oxygen concentrations. Then, the real-time oxygen concentration and the function parameters of the oxygen concentration rise function are input into a trained flow coefficient network model. The flow coefficient network model is used to obtain the oxygen concentration improvement efficiency and the oxygen flow coefficient corresponding to the oxygen concentration improvement efficiency. This allows for the accurate acquisition of the oxygen flow coefficient used to stably control the oxygen concentration improvement efficiency.
[0057] In one feasible embodiment, step S4: driving the indoor unit to output the oxygen, the nano-water ions, and the negative ions into the room includes:
[0058] S401: Obtain the real-time indoor temperature.
[0059] The real-time indoor temperature can be detected by the indoor unit's temperature detection module.
[0060] S402: Obtain the preset correlation between real-time temperature and longitudinal air guide angle, and obtain the longitudinal air guide angle of the indoor unit.
[0061] The indoor unit features a horizontally positioned first air guide vane, which alters the vertical direction of the air output from the unit. The angle between the first air guide vane and the vertically downward direction is the longitudinal air guide angle. The relationship between real-time temperature and the longitudinal air guide angle is that the higher the real-time temperature, the larger the longitudinal air guide angle.
[0062] S403: Control the indoor unit to output the oxygen, the nano water ions and the negative ions according to the longitudinal air guide angle.
[0063] In this embodiment, when the real-time indoor temperature is high, the indoor unit is generally used for cooling. Therefore, the temperature of the gas containing oxygen, nano-water ions, and negative ions output by the indoor unit will be lower than the real-time indoor temperature. Since the higher the real-time temperature, the larger the vertical airflow angle, the gas output by the indoor unit is initially located at a higher position in the room. Based on the phenomenon that hotter gases rise and colder gases sink, the gas output by the indoor unit will sink, meaning that oxygen, nano-water ions, and negative ions will all sink. At this time, the higher positions in the room are replenished with oxygen, nano-water ions, and negative ions based on the gas output by the indoor unit, while the lower positions are replenished with oxygen, nano-water ions, and negative ions based on the sinking of cold gas, thereby uniformly increasing the concentration of oxygen, nano-water ions, and negative ions in the room.
[0064] In one embodiment, step S4: driving the indoor unit to output the oxygen, the nano-water ions, and the negative ions into the room includes:
[0065] S411: Obtain the orientation of the indoor occupants relative to the indoor unit.
[0066] The orientation of the people inside the room relative to the indoor unit can be detected by the infrared detection module or the biological detection module of the indoor unit.
[0067] S412: Obtain the preset relationship between the direction of personnel and the lateral air guide angle, and obtain the lateral air guide angle of the indoor unit.
[0068] The indoor unit has a second horizontally positioned air guide vane, which changes the lateral direction of the air output from the indoor unit. The relationship between the direction of people and the lateral air guide angle is that the angle of the person's direction relative to the indoor unit is the lateral air guide angle.
[0069] S413: Control the indoor unit to output the oxygen, the nano water ions and the negative ions according to the horizontal air guide angle.
[0070] In this embodiment, the lateral airflow angle of the indoor unit is determined according to the direction of the person, and the indoor unit is controlled to output oxygen, nano water ions and negative ions according to the lateral airflow angle, which can quickly improve the air quality of the indoor environment where the user is located.
[0071] In a feasible embodiment, after step S4: driving the indoor unit to output the oxygen, the nano-water ions, and the negative ions into the room, the method further includes:
[0072] S51: Based on the preset correlation between real-time oxygen concentration, oxygen output flow rate and oxygen generator shutdown time, obtain the oxygen generator shutdown time corresponding to the real-time oxygen concentration and the oxygen output flow rate.
[0073] Among them, the relationship between real-time oxygen concentration, oxygen output flow rate and oxygen generator shutdown time is that the oxygen generator shutdown time is inversely proportional to the real-time oxygen concentration and oxygen output flow rate. That is, the higher the real-time oxygen concentration, the shorter the oxygen generator shutdown time; the greater the oxygen output flow rate, the shorter the oxygen generator shutdown time.
[0074] S52: The oxygen generator is shut down according to the oxygen generator shutdown time, so that the indoor unit stops outputting oxygen to the room.
[0075] Since excessively high average oxygen levels in indoor air can negatively impact the health of indoor users, the oxygen generator's shutdown time is determined based on real-time oxygen concentration and oxygen output flow rate to prevent excessively high average oxygen levels. Preferably, when the oxygen generator is shut down, information indicating that the oxygen level meets the standard is displayed on the indoor unit's display module, or alternatively, on the display screen of a terminal device associated with the indoor unit.
[0076] In a feasible embodiment, step S3: if the real-time oxygen concentration is less than a preset oxygen concentration threshold, starting the oxygen generator and delivering the oxygen output by the oxygen generator to the indoor unit includes:
[0077] S301: If the real-time oxygen concentration is less than the preset oxygen concentration threshold, obtain the ambient temperature of the oxygen generator unit.
[0078] S302: If the ambient temperature is lower than the preset temperature threshold, start the oxygen generator; otherwise, stop starting the oxygen generator.
[0079] In this embodiment, to prevent the oxygen generator unit from overheating and being damaged due to poor heat dissipation efficiency at excessively high temperatures, a temperature threshold is set to restrict the oxygen generator unit to operation only at ambient temperatures below the threshold, thus protecting the unit. The temperature threshold is set by the oxygen generator unit manufacturer.
[0080] In one feasible embodiment, after the step of delivering the oxygen to the indoor unit in S3, the following steps are included:
[0081] S311: Obtain the oxygen concentration and flow rate of the oxygen received by the indoor unit.
[0082] One approach is to install an oxygen concentration detection module and a gas flow detection module at the oxygen receiving pipe of the indoor unit to detect the gas oxygen concentration and gas flow rate of the oxygen received by the indoor unit.
[0083] S312: If the oxygen concentration of the gas is less than a preset oxygen concentration threshold, and / or the gas flow rate is less than a preset gas flow rate threshold, the oxygen generator unit is determined to be in an abnormal state, and an abnormality alert for the oxygen generator unit is executed.
[0084] The oxygen generator unit malfunction alert can be displayed on the indoor unit's display module or on the screen of a terminal device associated with the indoor unit.
[0085] In this embodiment, based on the gas flow threshold, it is determined whether the oxygen generator is transmitting oxygen to the indoor unit normally, and based on the oxygen concentration threshold, it is determined whether the oxygen concentration of the oxygen transmitted from the oxygen generator to the indoor unit is normal, thereby determining whether the working status of the oxygen generator is normal, and promptly reminding the user to inspect the oxygen generator in an abnormal state.
[0086] In one feasible embodiment, the air conditioning control method further includes:
[0087] S61: Obtain the first ion output flow rate of the nano water ions output by the first ion generating module, the second ion output flow rate of the negative ions output by the second ion generating module, and the gas output flow rate of the oxygen output by the oxygen generator.
[0088] S62: The real-time oxygen concentration after a second preset time when the nano-water ions, the negative ions, and the oxygen are output using the first ion output flow rate, the second ion output flow rate, and the gas output flow rate is the first oxygen concentration, and the real-time oxygen concentration before the second preset time is the second oxygen concentration.
[0089] S63: Input the first ion output flow rate, the second ion output flow rate, the gas output flow rate, the time value of the second preset time, the first oxygen concentration, and the second oxygen concentration into the trained ion concentration increase prediction model to obtain the first ion concentration increase prediction value and the second ion concentration increase prediction value output by the ion concentration increase prediction model.
[0090] The ion concentration increase prediction model can be a neural network model, trained using multiple sets of training samples. Each set of training samples uses the following as input: sample first ion output flow rate, sample second ion output flow rate, sample gas output flow rate, sample second preset time value, sample first oxygen concentration, and sample second oxygen concentration. The output samples are the predicted increases in sample first ion concentration and sample second ion concentration. Since changes in indoor oxygen concentration, nano-water ion concentration, and negative ion concentration are related not only to their corresponding output flow rates but also to the size of the indoor space—meaning that even with fixed output flow rates for oxygen, nano-water ions, and negative ions—their concentration changes indoors are all related to the size of the indoor space—the ion concentration increase prediction model, trained using multiple sets of training samples, can predict the first increase in nano-water ion concentration and the second increase in negative ion concentration based on the first ion output flow rate, second ion output flow rate, gas output flow rate, second preset time value, first oxygen concentration, and second oxygen concentration.
[0091] S64: Update the first ion output flow rate according to the first ion concentration increase prediction value, and update the second ion output flow rate according to the second ion concentration increase prediction value.
[0092] Specifically, step S64 includes:
[0093] S641: Based on the preset correlation between the first ion concentration increase prediction value and the first ion flow coefficient, obtain the first ion flow coefficient corresponding to the first ion concentration increase prediction value; based on the preset correlation between the second ion concentration increase prediction value and the second ion flow coefficient, obtain the second ion flow coefficient corresponding to the second ion concentration increase prediction value.
[0094] S642: Update the first ion output flow rate according to the first ion flow rate coefficient, and update the second ion output flow rate according to the second ion flow rate coefficient.
[0095] The updated first ion output flow rate is the product of the original first ion output flow rate and the first ion flow rate coefficient; the updated second ion output flow rate is the product of the original second ion output flow rate and the second ion flow rate coefficient.
[0096] S65: Drive the first ion generating module to output the nano water ions according to the updated first ion output flow rate, and drive the second ion generating module to output the negative ions according to the updated second ion output flow rate.
[0097] In this embodiment, steps S61-S65 can effectively adjust the output flow rate of nano-water ions from the first ion generating module and the output flow rate of negative ions from the second ion generating module, thereby stabilizing and controlling the concentration of nano-water ions and negative ions in the room to maintain indoor air quality.
[0098] In one feasible embodiment, the oxygen generator unit is further connected to an oxygen storage unit; the oxygen output terminal of the oxygen generator unit is connected to the oxygen input terminal of the indoor unit, the oxygen input terminal of the oxygen storage unit is connected to the oxygen output terminal of the oxygen generator unit, and the oxygen output terminal of the oxygen storage unit is connected to the oxygen input terminal of the indoor unit.
[0099] The indoor unit is used to transfer cooled or heated gas to the room. When the compressor outputs oxygen to the indoor unit, the indoor unit transfers the oxygen to the room to increase the oxygen content in the room.
[0100] The oxygen storage unit has a first one-way valve and a second one-way valve at both its oxygen inlet and outlet. The first one-way valve only allows the compressor to supply oxygen to the oxygen storage unit, while the second one-way valve only allows the oxygen storage unit to supply oxygen to the indoor unit. The oxygen storage unit can employ a piston structure. When oxygen needs to be stored, the piston structure expands outward, reducing the internal pressure of the oxygen storage unit. Under the pressure difference, oxygen output from the compressor is drawn into the oxygen storage unit through the first one-way valve. When oxygen needs to be supplied to the indoor unit, the piston structure compresses inward, compressing the oxygen stored inside the oxygen storage unit, increasing the internal pressure, and allowing the stored oxygen to be supplied to the indoor unit through the second one-way valve.
[0101] The control method further includes:
[0102] S701: When the air conditioning equipment turns on the oxygen generation mode and the oxygen generator is in the start state, the oxygen generator is driven to output oxygen to the indoor unit; when the air conditioning equipment turns off the oxygen generation mode and the oxygen generator is in the start state, the oxygen generator is driven to output oxygen to the oxygen storage unit until the oxygen storage unit is full of oxygen, and then the oxygen generator is turned off.
[0103] The air conditioning equipment includes an indoor unit, an outdoor unit, and an oxygen generator. The oxygen generator can be connected to both the indoor unit and the oxygen storage unit via a selector valve. When the air conditioning equipment is in oxygen-generating mode, the selector valve connects the oxygen generator and the indoor unit, allowing the oxygen generator to supply oxygen to the indoor unit. When the air conditioning equipment is in oxygen-generating mode, the selector valve connects the oxygen generator and the oxygen storage unit, allowing the oxygen generator to supply oxygen to the oxygen storage unit. This continues until the oxygen storage unit is full of oxygen, at which point the oxygen generator is shut down.
[0104] S702: When the air conditioning equipment turns on the oxygen generation mode, and the oxygen generator is in a shutdown and heat dissipation state due to excessive temperature, the oxygen storage unit is driven to output the stored oxygen to the indoor unit.
[0105] When the oxygen generator is in a shutdown and heat dissipation state, the compressor of the oxygen generator is in a shutdown state. At this time, the compressor cannot drive the gas flow in the oxygen generator, so the oxygen generator cannot continue to extract oxygen gas.
[0106] In this embodiment, oxygen output from the oxygen generator can be stored in an oxygen storage unit. When the oxygen generator is shut down, oxygen can be supplied to the indoor unit through the oxygen storage unit. This allows the indoor unit to continue to be supplied with oxygen while the compressor is stopped to improve its heat dissipation efficiency, thereby increasing the oxygen content in the room.
[0107] In one feasible embodiment, the air conditioning control method may further include:
[0108] S711: When the air conditioning equipment turns on the oxygen generation mode and the oxygen generator is in the start-up state, the oxygen generator is driven to output oxygen to the indoor unit.
[0109] S712: Monitors the real-time oxygen concentration in the room.
[0110] S713: When the real-time indoor oxygen concentration reaches the preset oxygen concentration expectation value, the oxygen generator is driven to maintain the oxygen output flow and output oxygen to the indoor unit and the oxygen storage unit, and the oxygen storage unit stores the received oxygen.
[0111] The oxygen concentration expectation value is set by the oxygen generator manufacturer. The oxygen concentration expectation value is used to indicate that the real-time oxygen concentration in the room has reached a suitable oxygen content standard. At this time, the oxygen flow rate transmitted into the room can be reduced so that the real-time oxygen concentration in the room can be maintained at a suitable oxygen content standard, and there will be no situation where the oxygen concentration is too high.
[0112] S714: When the air conditioning equipment is turned on in oxygen generation mode and the oxygen generator is in a stopped state, the oxygen storage unit is driven to output the stored oxygen to the indoor unit.
[0113] In this embodiment, since the oxygen generator maintains a constant oxygen output flow rate, when the oxygen generator needs to output oxygen to both the indoor unit and the oxygen storage unit simultaneously, the oxygen flow rate received by the indoor unit is reduced, which also reduces the oxygen flow rate transmitted from the indoor unit to the room. This helps maintain the real-time oxygen concentration in the room and also allows for the pre-storage of oxygen.
