Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioning operation control method and an air conditioning system. Background Technology

[0002] Under the strong environmental and energy-saving requirements, energy-saving inverter air conditioning systems have become widespread in my country. In the sweltering summer, people rely on these systems to bring them cool comfort and store up more energy for the next day's work. However, in today's society, long working hours and high labor intensity mean people return home exhausted. If the air conditioner is set too low and cools down too quickly, and users fall asleep quickly while the air conditioner is running for an extended period, they may wake up shivering or catch a cold, affecting their health, especially in the hot summer months. Therefore, developing an intelligent operation control method for air conditioners is a problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose an air conditioning operation control method and air conditioning system to solve the problem in the prior art that the air conditioning temperature cannot be intelligently adjusted when the user is in a sleep state, which affects the user's health.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0005] An air conditioning operation control method, wherein the air conditioner is turned on and started to operate according to a user-defined mode;

[0006] The air conditioner is running continuously within a preset time period and at the set temperature T. 设定 When the temperature does not exceed the first temperature threshold T1, it enters the healthy operation mode;

[0007] After entering the healthy operation mode and after an interval of the first preset time t1, the ambient temperature T is adjusted accordingly. 环境 The system executes the set mode or designated mode based on the movement of people indoors. By controlling the air conditioner to enter a healthy and intelligent operating mode when the user is asleep through specific preset time periods and set temperature values, it prevents users from being woken up by excessively low temperatures or catching a cold during sleep, reducing the chance of illness and achieving healthy, intelligent, and energy-saving operation of the air conditioning system. This allows people to use the air conditioner with peace of mind, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0008] Furthermore, based on the ambient temperature T 环境 The process of executing the set mode or specified mode based on indoor personnel movement includes:

[0009] At the ambient temperature T 环境 With the set temperature T 设定 When the difference is within a preset range, the indoor human activity status is obtained;

[0010] When there is movement of people indoors, the system will operate according to the preset mode described after power-on; when there is no movement of people indoors, the system will operate according to the specified mode. When movement of people indoors is detected, it indicates that the user is not asleep and is unlikely to cause the user to catch a cold, so the system can continue to operate according to the preset mode; when no movement of people indoors is detected, it indicates that the user is asleep, and in this case, to avoid affecting the user's comfort, the system should operate according to the specified mode to achieve healthy and intelligent cooling.

[0011] Furthermore, the specified mode is to set the temperature T. 设定 The system is adjusted to the second temperature threshold T2, with the air guide damper operating at a preset angle, the internal motor at the first set speed, the external motor at the second set speed, and the compressor at the set frequency. This designated mode corresponds to the user's most comfortable temperature, is the most environmentally friendly and energy-efficient operating mode, and is least likely to cause user illness.

[0012] Furthermore, the second temperature threshold T2 is greater than the first temperature threshold T1, the second temperature threshold T2 is set to 24-28°C, the preset angle is 58±5°, the first set rotation speed is 800-1200 rpm, and the second set rotation speed is 500-700 rpm.

[0013] Furthermore, after operating in the specified mode for more than a second preset time t2, the indoor human activity status is acquired again. If human movement is detected, the system continues to operate in the user-defined mode; otherwise, the air conditioning system switches to dehumidification mode. When operating in the specified mode for more than the second preset time t2, the indoor human activity status needs to be acquired again, and the operating mode is adjusted in a timely manner based on the indoor human activity status to ensure that users do not catch a cold while maintaining user comfort.

[0014] Furthermore, after running in the dehumidification mode for more than a third preset time, the system enters the air supply mode and runs for another third preset time, before re-entering the designated mode to continue running until the preset time period ends.

[0015] Furthermore, the air supply mode involves the indoor unit's air guide damper rotating, gradually increasing from the minimum angle to the maximum angle, and then gradually decreasing from the maximum angle back to the minimum angle, with the indoor unit's air guide damper rotating back and forth in a circular motion. When the air conditioner is in air supply mode, the air guide damper rotates in a circular motion, ensuring a uniform room temperature and preventing the air conditioner from blowing air directly on people, which could cause illness.

[0016] Furthermore, after the air conditioner operates in the specified mode until the preset time period ends, the air conditioning system re-enters the air supply mode and runs for a third preset time. Subsequently, according to the memory function, the air conditioning system automatically enters the user's original set mode and continues to operate.

[0017] Furthermore, after entering the original setting mode, the air conditioning system will remind the user to exit the healthy operation mode and continue for a fourth preset time t4.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the air conditioning operation control method of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0019] By controlling the air conditioner to enter a healthy and intelligent operating mode when the user is asleep through specific time periods and set temperature values, it prevents users from being woken up by the cold or catching a cold during sleep, reduces the chance of illness, and achieves healthy, intelligent and energy-saving operation of the air conditioning system, allowing people to use the air conditioner with peace of mind, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0020] The present invention also provides an air conditioning system capable of executing the air conditioning operation control method described above. An image capture module and a prompt module are provided on the indoor unit panel of the air conditioning system. The image capture module is used to capture the activity status of people indoors, and the prompt module is used to prompt the current operating status of the air conditioner and whether the healthy operation mode has been completed.

[0021] The advantages of the air conditioning system and the air conditioning operation control method described above compared to the prior art are the same, and will not be repeated here. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the air conditioning operation control method according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0023] Figure 2 This refers to the control process of the air conditioning system after entering the healthy operation mode as described in the embodiments of the present invention;

[0024] Figure 3 This is a detailed flowchart of the air conditioning operation control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an air conditioning operation control method includes:

[0027] S1. The air conditioner is turned on and running according to the user-set mode.

[0028] When the air conditioner is turned on, the user inputs the setting mode via remote control. The setting mode includes cooling or heating needs and a set temperature. The air conditioner then starts operating according to the user's settings. Furthermore, after the air conditioner is turned on, it can also continue operating according to the setting mode remembered by the control system before the air conditioner was last turned off, eliminating the need for user input.

[0029] S2, with the air conditioner running continuously within a preset time period and at the set temperature T. 设定 When the temperature does not exceed the first temperature threshold T1, it enters the healthy operation mode;

[0030] The preset time period is the time period when the user is in a resting state under normal conditions, and the preset time period is set to 22:00-06:00 and 12:00-16:00. The first temperature threshold T1 is set according to the user's comfort level. The preferred first temperature threshold T1 is set to 18-24℃, and more preferably, the first temperature threshold T1 is set to 22℃.

[0031] Specifically, during the time periods of 22:00–06:00 and 12:00–16:00, users are typically asleep or taking a nap. If the air conditioner's airflow temperature is too low, it can negatively impact user comfort and health, potentially leading to colds or illness. Therefore, it's necessary to switch to a healthy operating mode. When the air conditioner is not operating within the preset time period or at the set temperature (T...),... 设定 When the temperature exceeds the first temperature threshold T1, it means that the user is not in a sleep state or the current temperature setting will not make the user feel cold, and is unlikely to cause the user to catch a cold or get chilled. Therefore, it can be operated according to the current setting mode.

[0032] S3. After entering the healthy operation mode and after the first preset time t1, according to the ambient temperature T 环境 The system executes a set mode or a specified mode based on the movement of people indoors, wherein the set mode is the set mode described in step S1.

[0033] The first preset time t1 is set to 30 to 100 minutes, preferably 60 minutes.

[0034] Furthermore, the process of executing a set mode or specified mode based on ambient temperature and indoor personnel movement includes:

[0035] S31, at ambient temperature T 环境 With the set temperature T 设定 When the difference is within a preset range, the indoor human activity status is obtained;

[0036] Specifically, the interval between entering the healthy operation mode is the first preset time t1, and T 环境 <T 设定A +1 indicates that the room temperature has essentially reached the user's set temperature. At this point, the indoor temperature is relatively low, making it easy for the user to catch a cold if they are asleep. Therefore, it's necessary to monitor the movement of people in the room to determine if the user is asleep.

[0037] S32. When there is movement of people indoors, operate according to the preset mode after power-on; when there is no movement of people indoors, operate according to the specified mode.

[0038] When movement of people is detected indoors, it indicates that the users are not asleep and are unlikely to catch a cold, so the system can continue to operate according to the set mode. When no movement of people is detected indoors, it indicates that the users are asleep. In this case, to avoid affecting the comfort of the users, the system should operate according to the specified mode to achieve healthy and intelligent cooling.

[0039] Furthermore, the specified mode is to set the temperature T. 设定 The system is adjusted to operate at a second temperature threshold T2, with the air guide damper at a preset angle, the internal motor at a first set speed, the external motor at a second set speed, and the compressor at a set frequency. Further, the second temperature threshold T2 is greater than the first temperature threshold T1, and is set to 24–28°C; the preset angle is 58±5°; the first set speed is 800–1200 rpm; the second set speed is 500–700 rpm; the first set speed is greater than the second set speed; and the set frequency is 15–30 Hz. Preferably, the second temperature threshold T2 is set to 26°C; the preset angle is 58±5°; the first set speed is 1000 rpm; the second set speed is 600 rpm; the first set speed is greater than the second set speed; and the set frequency is 22 Hz. That is, when entering the healthy operation mode at an interval of a first preset time t1 and T... 环境 <T 设定 When +1 is selected, if there is no movement of people indoors and the user is asleep, it is necessary to appropriately control the set temperature, air duct angle, internal motor speed, external motor speed, and compressor frequency to keep them within a mild range, so as to avoid the indoor ambient temperature being too low and affecting the comfort of the indoor users. The specified mode corresponds to the operating state of the user at the most comfortable temperature, which is also the most environmentally friendly and energy-saving operating mode, and the operating mode that is least likely to cause users to get sick.

[0040] Furthermore, the movement of people indoors can be captured by rotating the camera.

[0041] S33. After running in the specified mode for more than the second preset time t2, the indoor human activity status is acquired again. If there is human movement, the system continues to run in the user-defined mode; if there is no human movement, the air conditioning system switches to "dehumidification mode".

[0042] The second preset time t2 is set to 30-100 min, preferably 60 min.

[0043] When the specified mode is run for more than the second preset time t2, it is necessary to obtain the indoor human activity status again and adjust the operation mode in a timely manner according to the indoor human activity status, so as to ensure that users do not catch a cold and do not affect user comfort.

[0044] Furthermore, in step S33, if human movement is detected, the system will operate according to the user-defined mode; if no human movement is detected, it indicates that the user is in a sleep state. If the air humidity is high, it will also affect the user's comfort during sleep. Therefore, the dehumidification mode needs to be turned on to make the user sleep more comfortably.

[0045] S34. After running in dehumidification mode for more than the third preset time, the system enters air supply mode and runs for the third preset time, then enters the specified mode again and continues to run until the preset time period ends. The third preset time t3 is set to 10-50 minutes, preferably 30 minutes.

[0046] In the air supply mode, the indoor unit's air guide damper rotates, gradually increasing from the smallest angle to the largest angle, and then gradually decreasing from the largest angle to the smallest angle. This back-and-forth rotation continues for a third preset time before re-entering the designated mode and running continuously until the preset timeout period is reached. When the air conditioner is in air supply mode, the air guide damper rotates in a circular motion, ensuring a uniform room temperature and preventing the air conditioner from blowing directly on people, which could cause illness.

[0047] S35. After the air conditioner operates in the specified mode until the preset time period ends, the air conditioning system re-enters the "air supply mode" and runs for a third preset time. Then, according to the memory function, the air conditioning system automatically enters the user's original setting mode and continues to operate.

[0048] The air supply mode is the same as the air supply mode in step S34.

[0049] After entering the original setting mode, the air conditioning system issues a reminder to exit the healthy operation mode and continues for a fourth preset time t4 to indicate to the user that the air conditioning system has entered this healthy intelligent operation mode. The fourth preset time t4 is set to 10-40 seconds, preferably 30 seconds. The healthy operation mode reminder is set to a flashing indicator light.

[0050] Furthermore, after the air conditioner has been running in the specified mode until the preset time period ends, this period has passed the user's deep sleep stage and is about to wake up. It is also past the time when the user is most susceptible to catching a cold or getting sick. Therefore, the original user-set mode can be executed at this time. Even if the temperature set in the user-set mode is low, it will not cause health problems for the user.

[0051] As part of an embodiment of the present invention, at any time during the entire healthy operation mode, when a remote control command is received, the healthy operation mode is exited and the system operates according to the remote control command.

[0052] The air conditioning operation control method of the present invention controls the air conditioner to enter a healthy and intelligent operation mode when the user is asleep by controlling the air conditioner to enter a healthy and intelligent operation mode through a specific time period and a set temperature value. This prevents the user from being woken up by the cold or catching a cold during sleep, reduces the chance of getting sick, realizes the healthy, intelligent and energy-saving operation of the air conditioning system, allows people to use the air conditioner with peace of mind, and thus improves user satisfaction.

[0053] As part of this invention, an air conditioning system is also provided, which is capable of executing the air conditioning operation control method described above. An image capture module and a prompt module are provided on the indoor unit panel of the air conditioning system. The image capture module is used to capture the activity status of people indoors, and the prompt module is used to indicate the current operating status of the air conditioner and whether the healthy operation mode has been completed. The control system of the air conditioning system also includes a memory module for remembering the operating mode set by the user; the remote control is equipped with buttons for controlling the on / off state of the healthy operation mode, allowing the user to switch between the healthy operation mode and the remote control according to actual conditions.

[0054] Furthermore, the image capture module is configured as an automatically rotating camera device, and the prompt module is configured as a flashing indicator light.

[0055] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
