Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to a disinfection and sterilization control method, a disinfection and sterilization control device, an air conditioner, and a readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners, as essential electrical appliances for adjusting indoor temperature, are increasingly being adopted by more and more families. With the improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners often include sterilization modules to improve indoor air quality. Traditional air conditioner sterilization technologies primarily employ ozone, ultraviolet light, and other methods.

[0003] However, in actual use, there is a problem: due to different installation environments, the sterilization effect of the sterilization module in the air conditioner varies. In cases where the sterilization effect is weak, it is impossible to quickly sterilize the indoor air, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the technical problem in existing air conditioners where the sterilization modules produce varying sterilization effects, resulting in weaker sterilization effects that fail to quickly sterilize indoor air, thus leading to a poor user experience.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a disinfection and sterilization control method for an air conditioner. The disinfection and sterilization control method includes: controlling the air conditioner to start operation; acquiring the indoor bacterial concentration and controlling whether the air conditioner enters a disinfection and sterilization mode based on the indoor bacterial concentration; and when the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode, acquiring the indoor bacterial concentration change rate and controlling whether the air conditioner activates a fresh air mode based on the indoor bacterial concentration change rate.

[0006] Compared to existing technologies, this technical solution achieves the following effects: After the air conditioner starts operating, it continuously monitors the indoor bacterial concentration and determines whether to activate the disinfection and sterilization mode based on this concentration. When the air conditioner is in disinfection and sterilization mode, the sterilization module performs the disinfection and sterilization process on the space where the air conditioner is located. Since the sterilization effect varies after the sterilization module is activated, the rate of change in indoor bacterial concentration is introduced. This rate of change accurately determines the sterilization effect of the air conditioner's sterilization module on the indoor environment. When the rate of change in indoor bacterial concentration is low, it indicates that the sterilization effect of the module is poor, and it is necessary to activate the fresh air mode of the air conditioner to further improve the sterilization effect.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the indoor bacterial concentration and controlling whether the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode based on the indoor bacterial concentration includes: determining whether the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode based on the indoor bacterial concentration and a preset concentration threshold; and controlling the air conditioner to enter the disinfection and sterilization mode when the indoor bacterial concentration is greater than the preset concentration threshold.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: Continuous monitoring of indoor bacterial concentration to determine whether it exceeds a preset concentration threshold. This threshold serves as a safety indicator for indoor bacterial concentration. If the concentration exceeds this threshold, it may affect the health of indoor users, necessitating the air conditioner to enter disinfection mode to reduce the concentration. If the concentration is less than or equal to the threshold, it indicates that the current concentration will not significantly impact users, but continuous monitoring is still required to prevent prolonged periods of excessive indoor bacterial concentration.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the disinfection and sterilization control method further includes: when the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode, controlling the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner according to the indoor bacterial concentration.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: Indoor bacterial concentration is obtained through a bacterial concentration detection device, indicating the level of indoor air pollution. Based on the indoor bacterial concentration, the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner can be controlled. When the air conditioner is in sterilization mode, a higher indoor bacterial concentration indicates more severe indoor air pollution, requiring a stronger sterilization intensity to enhance the sterilization effect of the sterilization module and quickly reduce the indoor bacterial concentration.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode, the change rate of indoor bacterial concentration is obtained, and the air conditioner is controlled to turn on the fresh air mode based on the change rate of indoor bacterial concentration, including: determining whether the air conditioner turns on the fresh air mode based on the change rate of indoor bacterial concentration and a preset change rate threshold; when the change rate of indoor bacterial concentration is less than the preset change rate threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to turn on the fresh air mode.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: When the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode, the change rate of indoor bacterial concentration is continuously acquired to determine whether it exceeds a preset threshold. If the change rate is less than the threshold, it indicates that simply activating the sterilization module to enter the disinfection and sterilization mode is insufficient to quickly disinfect the indoor space. Therefore, it is necessary to control the air conditioner to activate the fresh air mode for ventilation to further improve the effect of reducing indoor bacterial concentration. If the change rate is greater than or equal to the threshold, it indicates that the current disinfection and sterilization mode can achieve a rapid disinfection and sterilization effect on indoor air. However, continuous monitoring of the change rate of indoor bacterial concentration is required to avoid a weaker sterilization effect later.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the disinfection and sterilization control method further includes: when the air conditioner is in fresh air mode, controlling the fresh air volume of the air conditioner according to the rate of change of indoor bacterial concentration.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: After obtaining the rate of change in indoor bacterial concentration, this rate indicates the disinfection and sterilization effect of the sterilization module in the indoor space. Based on the magnitude of the rate of change in indoor bacterial concentration, the fresh air output of the air conditioner can be controlled. When the air conditioner is in fresh air mode, the smaller the rate of change in indoor bacterial concentration, the worse the disinfection and sterilization effect of the sterilization module in the indoor space. Therefore, the fresh air output of the air conditioner needs to be set to a higher level to further reduce the indoor bacterial concentration.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the rate of change of indoor bacterial concentration includes: obtaining a first indoor bacterial concentration when the air conditioner is in disinfection and sterilization mode; obtaining a first preset time based on the time required for the first indoor bacterial concentration to change to a first bacterial concentration set value; and calculating the rate of change of indoor bacterial concentration based on the first indoor bacterial concentration, the first bacterial concentration set value, and the first preset time.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this technical solution are as follows: The specific process of obtaining the indoor bacterial concentration change rate is as follows: When the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode, the first indoor bacterial concentration (i.e., the indoor bacterial concentration when the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode) is obtained through the first acquisition module. By calculating the time required for the first indoor bacterial concentration to change the first bacterial concentration set value, the indoor bacterial concentration change rate in this environment can be obtained. The first preset time is assigned based on the time required for the first indoor bacterial concentration to change the first bacterial concentration set value. Calculating the first preset time based on the first bacterial concentration set value can better monitor the indoor bacterial concentration, and the indoor bacterial concentration change rate can be evaluated by monitoring the indoor bacterial concentration.

[0017] On the other hand, embodiments of the present invention also provide a disinfection and sterilization control device for an air conditioner. The disinfection and sterilization control device includes: a start-up module for controlling the air conditioner to start and operate; a first control module for acquiring the indoor bacterial concentration and controlling whether the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode based on the indoor bacterial concentration; and a second control module for acquiring the indoor bacterial concentration change rate when the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode and controlling whether the air conditioner activates the fresh air mode based on the indoor bacterial concentration change rate.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the disinfection and sterilization control device further includes: a sterilization module, which is used to execute a disinfection and sterilization mode; wherein, the sterilization module includes multiple sterilization components, and the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner is controlled by controlling the start and stop of the multiple sterilization components.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effect achieved by this solution is as follows: the sterilization module is used to execute the disinfection and sterilization mode. Preferably, the sterilization module includes multiple sterilization components, and the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner can be controlled by controlling the start and stop of each sterilization component.

[0021] In another aspect, embodiments of the present invention also provide an air conditioner, the air conditioner including: a processor, a memory, and a program or instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the program or instructions are executed by the processor, the steps of the disinfection and sterilization control method of the air conditioner as described in any of the above embodiments are implemented.

[0025] By adopting the technical solution of the present invention, the following technical effects can be achieved:

[0026] (1) After the air conditioner is running, the indoor bacterial concentration is continuously acquired, and the air conditioner is controlled to enter the disinfection and sterilization mode based on the indoor bacterial concentration. When the air conditioner is in the disinfection and sterilization mode, the sterilization module performs the disinfection and sterilization process to disinfect and sterilize the space where the air conditioner is located. Since the sterilization effect produced by the sterilization module varies, the indoor bacterial concentration change rate is introduced. By using the indoor bacterial concentration change rate, the sterilization effect of the air conditioner's sterilization module on the indoor environment can be accurately determined. When the indoor bacterial concentration change rate is small, it indicates that the sterilization effect of the sterilization module is poor, and it is necessary to control the air conditioner to turn on the fresh air mode to exchange air and further improve the sterilization effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] See Figure 1 The flowchart illustrates a disinfection and sterilization control method for an air conditioner provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. The disinfection and sterilization control method includes:

[0039] Step S100: Control the air conditioner to start operation;

[0040] Step S200: Obtain the indoor bacterial concentration and control whether the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode based on the indoor bacterial concentration;

[0041] Step S300: When the air conditioner is in disinfection and sterilization mode, obtain the indoor bacterial concentration change rate, and control whether the air conditioner turns on the fresh air mode based on the indoor bacterial concentration change rate.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, after the air conditioner starts operating, the indoor bacterial concentration is continuously monitored, and the system determines whether to control the air conditioner to enter disinfection and sterilization mode based on the indoor bacterial concentration. When the air conditioner is in disinfection and sterilization mode, the sterilization module executes the disinfection and sterilization process, disinfecting and sterilizing the space where the air conditioner is located. Since the sterilization effect produced by the sterilization module varies after it is activated, the indoor bacterial concentration change rate is introduced. By using the indoor bacterial concentration change rate, the sterilization effect of the air conditioner's sterilization module on the indoor environment can be accurately determined. When the indoor bacterial concentration change rate is small, it indicates that the sterilization effect of the sterilization module is poor, and it is necessary to control the air conditioner to activate the fresh air mode for ventilation to further improve the sterilization effect.

[0043] Preferably, the indoor bacterial concentration is collected in real time using a bacterial concentration detection device.

[0044] Furthermore, step S200 includes:

[0045] Step S210: Determine whether the air conditioner has entered the disinfection and sterilization mode based on the indoor bacterial concentration and the preset concentration threshold;

[0046] Step S220: When the indoor bacterial concentration is greater than the preset concentration threshold, control the air conditioner to enter the disinfection and sterilization mode.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, the indoor bacterial concentration is continuously monitored to determine whether it exceeds a preset concentration threshold. The preset concentration threshold is a safety indicator for the indoor bacterial concentration. If the indoor bacterial concentration is greater than the preset concentration threshold, it may affect the health of indoor users, and the air conditioner needs to be controlled to enter the disinfection and sterilization mode to reduce the indoor bacterial concentration. If the indoor bacterial concentration is less than or equal to the preset concentration threshold, it means that the current indoor bacterial concentration will not have a significant impact on indoor users, but the indoor bacterial concentration needs to be continuously monitored to avoid a situation where the indoor bacterial concentration exceeds the standard for a long period of time.

[0048] Specifically, if J ≤ m, it indicates that the indoor bacterial concentration has not yet exceeded the preset concentration threshold. However, to ensure indoor air safety, the indoor bacterial concentration needs to be continuously and periodically monitored. Here, J represents the indoor bacterial concentration, and m represents the preset concentration threshold. Preferably, when J ≤ m, the concentration is monitored every preset time interval t. 设 For obtaining an indoor bacterial concentration, the preset time is preferably set to 3–10 minutes, and more preferably, t 设 The preferred value is set to 5 min.

[0049] Furthermore, disinfection and sterilization control methods also include:

[0050] When the air conditioner is in disinfection and sterilization mode, the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner is controlled according to the indoor bacterial concentration.

[0051] Specifically, the indoor bacterial concentration is obtained through a bacterial concentration detection device. This concentration indicates the level of indoor air pollution, and the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner can be controlled based on this concentration. When the air conditioner is in sterilization mode, a higher indoor bacterial concentration indicates more severe indoor air pollution, requiring a stronger sterilization intensity to enhance the sterilization module's effectiveness and quickly reduce the indoor bacterial concentration.

[0052] The specific implementation process is as follows: Multiple bacterial concentration thresholds are set. By comparing the indoor bacterial concentration with these thresholds, the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner is controlled, thereby altering the sterilization effect of the sterilization module. With three bacterial concentration thresholds set (m1, m2, and m3), when J > m1, the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner is controlled at N1; when m1 ≥ J > m2, the sterilization intensity is controlled at N2; and when m2 ≥ J > m3, the sterilization intensity is controlled at N3. Here, m1 is the first bacterial concentration threshold, m2 is the second bacterial concentration threshold, and m3 is the third bacterial concentration threshold; N1 is the first sterilization intensity, N2 is the second sterilization intensity, and N3 is the third sterilization intensity; m1 > m2 > m3 ≥ m, N1 > N2 > N3.

[0053] Preferably, multiple bacterial concentration thresholds can be set. The more bacterial concentration thresholds there are, the higher the precision of the sterilization effect adjustment of the sterilization module. The sterilization module can be, for example, an ultraviolet lamp or an ozone generator.

[0054] Furthermore, step S300 includes:

[0055] Step S310: Determine whether the air conditioner should turn on the fresh air mode based on the indoor bacterial concentration change rate and the preset change rate threshold;

[0056] Step S320: When the rate of change of indoor bacterial concentration is less than or equal to the preset rate of change threshold, control the air conditioner to turn on the fresh air mode.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, when the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode, continuously obtain the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration, and determine whether the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration exceeds the preset change rate threshold. If the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration is less than the preset change rate threshold, it means that only by turning on the sterilization module to enter the disinfection and sterilization mode, the disinfection and sterilization of the indoor space cannot be quickly achieved. Therefore, it is necessary to control the air conditioner to turn on the fresh air mode for ventilation to further improve the effect of reducing the indoor bacteria concentration. If the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration is greater than or equal to the preset change rate threshold, it means that the rapid disinfection and sterilization effect of the indoor air can be achieved under the current operation of the disinfection and sterilization mode, but it is necessary to continuously detect the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration to avoid a weak sterilization effect in the future.

[0058] Specifically, if V≥n, it means that the rapid disinfection and sterilization effect of the indoor air can be achieved under the current operation of the disinfection and sterilization mode. However, to ensure the sterilization effect, it is necessary to continuously and periodically detect the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration. Here, V represents the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration, and n represents the preset change rate threshold.

[0059] Furthermore, the disinfection and sterilization control method further includes:

[0060] When the air conditioner turns on the fresh air mode, control the fresh air volume of the air conditioner according to the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration.

[0061] Specifically, after obtaining the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration, the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration can illustrate the disinfection and sterilization effect of the sterilization module in this indoor space. According to the magnitude of the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration, the fresh air output volume of the air conditioner can be controlled. When the air conditioner turns on the fresh air mode, the smaller the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration, the worse the disinfection and sterilization effect of the sterilization module in this indoor space, and it is necessary to make the fresh air output volume of the air conditioner at a larger gear to further achieve the effect of reducing the indoor bacteria concentration in the indoor space.

[0062] The specific implementation process is as follows: Set multiple preset change rate thresholds, and control the fresh air output volume of the air conditioner by comparing the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration with the multiple preset change rate thresholds, thereby changing the sterilization effect of the air conditioner. When setting 3 preset change rate thresholds, the preset change rate thresholds are n1, n2, and n3 respectively. When V < n1, control the fresh air output volume of the air conditioner to be F1; when n2 ≤ V < n1, control the fresh air output volume of the air conditioner to be F2; when n3 ≤ V < n2, control the fresh air output volume of the air conditioner to be F3. Here, n1 is the first preset change rate threshold, n2 is the second preset change rate threshold, n3 is the third preset change rate threshold; F1 is the first fresh air output volume, F2 is the second fresh air output volume, F3 is the third fresh air output volume; n≥n1>n2>n3, F1<F2<F3.

[0063] Preferably, multiple preset change rate thresholds can be set. The more the number of preset change rate thresholds, the higher the adjustment accuracy.

[0064] Preferably, when m2≥J>m3, the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode, and the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner is controlled to be N3. When V<n, in addition to controlling the air conditioner to turn on the fresh air mode for ventilation to improve the sterilization effect of the air conditioner, the sterilization effect of the air conditioner can also be improved by further increasing the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner; when J>m1, the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode, and the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner is controlled to be N1. At this time, the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner has reached the strongest. If V<n, only the fresh air mode of the air conditioner can be controlled to ventilate to further improve the effect of reducing the indoor bacteria concentration.

[0065] Furthermore, obtaining the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration includes:

[0066] In the case where the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode, obtaining the first indoor bacteria concentration;

[0067] Obtaining the first preset duration according to the duration required for the first indoor bacteria concentration to change to the first bacteria concentration set value;

[0068] Calculating the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration according to the first indoor bacteria concentration, the first bacteria concentration set value, and the first preset duration.

[0069] Specifically, the specific process of obtaining the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration is as follows: In the case where the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode, the first indoor bacteria concentration (i.e., the indoor bacteria concentration when the air conditioner enters the disinfection and sterilization mode) is obtained through the first acquisition module. By calculating the duration required for the first indoor bacteria concentration to change to the first bacteria concentration set value, the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration in this environment can be obtained. Assigning a value to the first preset duration according to the duration required for the first indoor bacteria concentration to change to the first bacteria concentration set value, the first preset duration is obtained; calculating the first preset duration based on the first bacteria concentration set value can better monitor the indoor bacteria concentration, and evaluate the change rate of the indoor bacteria concentration through the monitoring of the indoor bacteria concentration.

[0070]

[0072] In one specific embodiment, the start-up module 101, the first control module 102, and the second control module 103 of the air conditioner's disinfection and sterilization control device work together to implement the air conditioner's disinfection and sterilization control method as described in the first embodiment above, which will not be repeated here.

[0073] Furthermore, the disinfection and sterilization control device also includes a sterilization module, which is used to execute the disinfection and sterilization mode; wherein, the sterilization module includes multiple sterilization components, and the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner is controlled by controlling the start and stop of the multiple sterilization components.

[0074] Specifically, the sterilization module is used to execute the disinfection and sterilization mode. Preferably, the sterilization module includes multiple sterilization components, and the sterilization intensity of the air conditioner can be controlled by controlling the start and stop of each sterilization component.

The processor 220 loads the computer program 211 to implement the disinfection and sterilization control method of the air conditioner as described in the first embodiment.
