[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0035] In recent years, many related studies have shown that if a person is in a stable, warm and humid environment for a long period of time, it does not conform to the body's physiological regulatory mechanisms, nor is it conducive to achieving comfort during sleep. This is because human sleep activity is a physiological process that changes dynamically over time. Therefore, a warm and humid environment that fluctuates within a certain range is more in line with the physiological processes of human sleep and makes it easier for people to achieve comfort.

[0036] This invention provides a method for controlling an air conditioner.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the air conditioner control method provided by the present invention.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner control method includes at least steps S110, S120 and S130.

[0039] Step S110: When a control command to activate sleep mode is received, the current sleep mode setting of the air conditioner is determined.

[0040] Specifically, after the air conditioner is turned on, it determines whether the user has activated the sleep mode. When a command to activate the sleep mode is received, the user's selected sleep mode is determined. The sleep mode includes two or more different sleep modes pre-set for users with two or more different attributes. In one specific implementation, users are categorized into children, adult men, adult women, and the elderly based on age and / or gender attributes. The sleep modes for children, adult men, adult women, and the elderly respectively include: a children's sleep mode (i.e., a sleep mode set for children), an adult men's sleep mode (i.e., a sleep mode set for adult men), an adult women's sleep mode (i.e., a sleep mode set for adult women), and an elderly's sleep mode (i.e., a sleep mode set for the elderly).

[0041] Different sleep modes correspond to different sleep temperature control curves. For example, the children's sleep mode corresponds to the children's sleep temperature control curve, which is used for children; the adult men's sleep mode corresponds to the adult men's sleep temperature control curve, which is used for adult men; the adult women's sleep mode corresponds to the adult women's sleep temperature control curve, which is used for adult women; and the elderly's sleep mode corresponds to the elderly's sleep temperature control curve, which is used for elderly people.

[0042] The sleep temperature control curves for the described sleep modes for children, adult men, adult women, and the elderly are primarily designed to account for the physiological differences in sleep patterns among different age groups and genders. Their environmental temperature requirements during sleep vary, and mismatched room temperatures may lead to uncomfortably cold or hot conditions. Furthermore, inappropriate cooling or heating temperature control can result in energy waste. Therefore, the sleep temperature control curves for these sleep modes provide targeted services to different user groups, offering a comfortable sleep environment while also contributing to the efficient use of air conditioning energy.

[0043] Step S120: Obtain the current outdoor ambient temperature, determine the current operating mode of the air conditioner based on the current outdoor ambient temperature, and obtain the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode and the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode.

[0044] Specifically, the sleep temperature control curves corresponding to different sleep modes include the sleep temperature control curves under different operating modes, that is, different sleep modes correspond to different sleep temperature control curves under different operating modes.

[0045] The operating modes may specifically include: a summer operating mode (e.g., a cooling mode) and a winter operating mode (e.g., a heating mode). For example, if the outdoor ambient temperature... If the current operating mode is determined to be winter operating mode (e.g., heating mode), then the sleep temperature control curve of the currently set sleep mode in heating mode is obtained; if the outdoor ambient temperature... If the current operating mode is determined to be the summer operating mode (e.g., cooling mode), then the sleep temperature control curve of the current set sleep mode in the summer operating mode is obtained.

[0046] For example, if a user selects one of the following sleep modes—children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, or elderly sleep mode—then the current outdoor ambient temperature of the room is calculated. Determine the sleep curve (i.e., sleep temperature control curve) under the specific cooling or heating mode.

[0047] Preferably, when a control command to activate sleep mode is received, before acquiring the current outdoor ambient temperature, the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to enter a shutdown state, the outdoor fan of the air conditioner is controlled to run at a preset maximum speed, and after the outdoor fan has run at the preset maximum speed for a first preset time ΔT1, the outdoor fan is controlled to enter a shutdown state, and then the current outdoor ambient temperature is acquired. The value range of the first preset time ΔT1 can be, for example, 1 to 5 minutes, with a preferred value of 2 minutes.

[0048] The preset running time △T1 is for when the air conditioner switches to sleep mode after running other modes. In this case, after the compressor stops, the outdoor unit's heat exchanger is still in a state of being either too cold or too hot compared to the ambient temperature. To address this, the outdoor fan speed is increased to maximum. However, to ensure the outdoor unit's heat exchanger fully exchanges heat with the ambient temperature and avoids errors in subsequent ambient temperature detection, a running time △T1 is set. This allows for a more accurate detection of the current room's ambient temperature.

[0049] Outdoor ambient temperature data is collected using sensors or an outer ring temperature sensor. Specifically, a set of ambient temperature data (T) can be collected at time intervals of ΔT2. a_w The current outdoor ambient temperature is obtained by averaging multiple sets of data. For example, a total of 6 sets of ambient temperature data (T) were collected. a_w Then, the collected 6 sets of ambient temperature data T a_w After filtering to remove the maximum and minimum values, the remaining four sets of data are averaged, and the average value is taken as the current ambient temperature of the room. The value of △T2 can range from 5 to 60 s, with 30 s being the preferred value.

[0050] Different operating modes correspond to different sleep relative humidity control curves. Specifically, the operating modes may include: summer operating mode (e.g., cooling mode) and winter operating mode (e.g., heating mode). Therefore, when the current operating mode is summer operating mode (e.g., cooling mode), it corresponds to the summer sleep relative humidity control curve; when the current operating mode is winter operating mode (e.g., heating mode), it corresponds to the winter sleep relative humidity control curve.

[0051] The relative humidity control curve corresponding to the current operating mode can specifically be the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode. For example, the relative humidity control range corresponding to the child's sleep mode, adult male's sleep mode, adult female's sleep mode, and elderly's sleep mode in summer or winter operating modes. Different sleep modes may have the same or different relative humidity control ranges in summer operating modes, and different sleep modes may have the same or different relative humidity control ranges in winter operating modes. For example, people with different attributes may have different requirements for indoor relative humidity.

[0052] More specifically, during the summer operation mode (cooling mode), the relative humidity in the room is controlled at RHSum, which is within the preset summer relative humidity control range. In other words, the relative humidity in the room is within the preset summer relative humidity control range. During the winter operation mode (heating mode), the relative humidity in the room is controlled at RHWin, which is within the preset winter relative humidity control range. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 8 The summer relative humidity (control) curve and the winter relative humidity (control) curve are shown.

[0053] Step S130: Control the operation of the air conditioner according to the obtained sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode and the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode.

[0054] Specifically, the air conditioner is controlled according to the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode. That is, by controlling the operation of the air conditioner, the change in indoor ambient temperature over time is made to align with the sleep temperature control curve. Similarly, the air conditioner is controlled according to the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode, so that the indoor relative humidity remains within the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode. In other words, by controlling the operation of the air conditioner, the change in indoor ambient temperature over time is made to align with the sleep temperature control curve, and the indoor relative humidity is maintained within the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode.

[0055] When starting to execute the temperature control curve corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode, the real-time indoor air temperature parameter value (i.e., the current indoor ambient temperature) T is collected. a_N Based on the indoor ambient temperature, and according to the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled.

[0056] The sleep temperature control curve is, in other words, the curve showing how the target temperature of the air conditioner changes over time in the corresponding sleep mode, specifically, the curve showing how the target temperature changes with the time the sleep mode is activated. More specifically, the sleep temperature control curve includes: the target temperature (i.e., the target temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located) T corresponding to each of two or more preset consecutive time periods from the start of sleep mode activation (i.e., the start of controlling the air conditioner's operation according to the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current operating mode based on the acquired current sleep mode settings). a_N For example, starting from the start of sleep mode, a timing command is executed, and this moment is designated as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s. The time from T0 until the air conditioner's running time reaches T1 is recorded as the T0~T1 time period. The time from T1 until the air conditioner's running time reaches T2 is recorded as the T1~T2 time period, and so on.

[0057] Based on the obtained sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current sleep mode and the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current sleep mode, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled, that is, according to the target temperature T corresponding to each time period (i.e., the target temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located). a_NControl the operation of the air conditioner so that the change of indoor ambient temperature over time is consistent with the sleep temperature control curve, and keep the relative humidity of the indoor environment within the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operation mode.

[0058] Figure 2 The structural framework of the control system according to the present invention is shown. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the control system of the present invention includes: a sleep function module, a personalized sleep module, a central control module, a timing module, a sleep curve control module, a sensor module, and an actuator module.

[0059] Figure 3 A control system logic framework employing a specific embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. For example... Figure 3 As shown:

[0060] The sleep function module is an operating mode of the air conditioner. Users can send operating commands to the air conditioner through signal generating devices such as remote control. After receiving the user's command, the air conditioner will enter and run the corresponding control strategy of the sleep mode.

[0061] The personalized sleep mode module is a control algorithm module for the air conditioner to execute different sleep control methods. After the user turns on the sleep mode, they enter the personalized sleep mode module. This module provides the user with different sleep control modes to meet the sleep needs of different user groups. After the user selects the specified personalized sleep mode, the relevant control instructions are sent to the central control module, which then executes the corresponding instructions.

[0062] The central control module is the core control unit of the air conditioner. On one hand, it receives control commands from the personalized sleep mode module. On the other hand, it receives data from the sensor module, processes and transmits the data, and then controls the air conditioner to complete the corresponding sleep curve commands based on the calculation results.

[0063] The timing module refers to the functional module that completes timekeeping under the control of the central control module.

[0064] In the technical solution of this application, the sleep curve control module refers to a control module that stores different sleep curve control instructions, which mainly includes two parts: sleep temperature curve and sleep humidity curve.

[0065] The sensor module is responsible for data acquisition, identification, processing, storage and transmission under the control of the central control module. The sensor module may specifically include: (1) an inner ring temperature sensor installed in the indoor unit of the air conditioner to collect the dry bulb temperature of the air in the room; (2) an evaporator tube temperature sensor installed in the indoor unit of the air conditioner to collect the inner tube temperature of the evaporator; (3) an outer ring temperature sensor installed in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to collect the dry bulb temperature of the air outside the room; and (4) an inner ring humidity sensor installed in the indoor unit of the air conditioner to collect the relative humidity of the air in the room.

[0066] The actuator module mainly consists of two parts: a compressor module and an external fan module.

[0067] The following explanations use the temperature control curves for the child sleep mode, adult male sleep mode, adult female sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode mentioned in the preceding steps as examples:

[0068] (1) Temperature control curve for children's sleep mode

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, the temperature control curves for the child sleep mode correspond to different operating modes, involving two sets of sleep curves: summer (sleep) temperature control curve and winter (sleep) temperature control curve, along with their control measures. The specific control measures for the summer sleep temperature control curve in the child sleep mode are as follows: when the central control module receives a notification that the user has selected the child sleep mode, and the central control module detects the current ambient temperature of the room... Based on the ambient temperature, the current operating mode is determined to be the summer operating mode (e.g., at this time). After implementing the summer operation mode, the summer sleep temperature control curve will be executed.

[0070] The central control module will retrieve the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for the children's sleep mode from the sleep curve control module. The specific control command is as follows: after the execution of the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for the children's sleep mode begins, under the control of the central control module, the timing module and related actuator modules jointly participate in the temperature control command; the timing module executes the timing command from the start of executing the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for the children's sleep mode, and records this moment as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s;

[0071] For example, the specific temperature control parameters for the summer sleep temperature control curve of the children's sleep comfort mode are as follows: During the time period T0 to T1, the target room temperature T a_N Let TSum_Child_1 be the target temperature T in the room during the time period T1 to T2. a_NFor TSum_Child_2; the target temperature T in the room during the time period T2 to T3. a_N The target temperature T in the room is TSum_Child_3; during the time period T3 to T4. a_N The target temperature for the air conditioner's outlet air temperature is TSum_Child_4 after runtime T5;

[0072] The winter sleep temperature control curve for the children's sleep mode employs the following specific control measures: When the central control module receives a notification that the user has selected the children's sleep mode, and the central control module detects the current ambient temperature of the room... Based on the ambient temperature, the current operating mode is determined to be the winter operating mode (for example, at this time). After the winter operation mode is activated, the winter sleep temperature control curve will be executed. The central control module will retrieve the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for the child's sleep mode from the sleep curve control module, and the specific control command is as follows:

[0073] After the start of executing the winter sleep temperature control curve control command of the children's soothing sleep mode, the timing module and related actuator modules jointly participate in the temperature control command under the regulation of the central control module;

[0074] The timing module executes the timing command from the moment it enters the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for the child's soothing sleep mode, and records this moment as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s;

[0075] The specific temperature control parameters for the winter sleep temperature control curve in the children's sleep comfort mode are as follows:

[0076] During the time period T0 to T1, the target temperature T in the room a_N Let Win_Child_1 be the target temperature T in the room during the time period T1 to T2. a_N Let TWin_Child_2 be the target temperature T in the room during the time period T2 to T3. a_N For Win_Child_3; the target room temperature T during the time period T3 to T4. a_N The target temperature for the air conditioner's outlet air temperature is TWin_Child_4 after runtime T5;

[0077] The value of T1 ranges from 0 to 60 minutes, and the preferred value of the technical solution in this application is 30 minutes, that is, the preferred value range of the time period from T0 to T1 is 0 to 30 minutes; the value of T2 ranges from 150 to 210 minutes, and the preferred value of the technical solution in this application is 180 minutes, that is, the preferred value range of the time period from T1 to T2 is 30 to 180 minutes; the value of T3 ranges from 300 to 360 minutes, and the preferred value of the technical solution in this application is 330 minutes, that is, the preferred value range of the time period from T2 to T3 is 180 to 330 minutes; the value of T4 ranges from 390 to 450 minutes, and the preferred value of the technical solution in this application is 420 minutes, that is, the preferred value range of the time period from T3 to T4 is 330 to 420 minutes; the value of T5 is ≥ T4.

[0107] (4) Temperature control curve for elderly sleep mode

[0108] like Figure 7 As shown, in the elderly sleep comfort temperature control curve, different operating modes correspond to different elderly sleep comfort mode temperature control curves, involving two sets of sleep curves and their control measures: summer (sleep) temperature curve and winter (sleep) temperature curve.

[0109] The specific control measures for the summer sleep comfort temperature control curve of the elderly sleep comfort mode are as follows: when the central control module receives a message that the user has selected the elderly sleep comfort mode, and the central control module detects the current ambient temperature of the room... Based on the ambient temperature, the current operating mode is determined to be the summer operating mode (e.g., at this time). After the summer operation mode is executed, the summer sleep temperature control curve will be executed. The central control module will retrieve the control instructions for the elderly sleep mode summer sleep temperature control curve from the sleep curve control module, and the specific control instructions are as follows:

[0110] After the start of executing the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for the elderly sleep comfort mode, the timing module and related actuator modules jointly participate in the temperature control command under the regulation of the central control module;

[0111] The timing module executes the timing command from the moment it enters the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for the elderly sleep comfort mode, and records this moment as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s;

[0112] The specific temperature control parameters for the summer sleep temperature control curve of the elderly's sleep comfort mode are as follows: During the time period T0 to T1, the target room temperature T a_N The value is TSum_Elderly_1; the target temperature T in the room during the time period T1 to T2. a_N The value is TSum_Elderly_2; the target room temperature T during the time period T2 to T3. a_N The target temperature T in the room is TSum_Elderly_3; during the time period T3 to T4. a_N The target temperature T in the room is TSum_Elderly_4; after runtime T5, the target temperature T in the room is... a_N It is TSum_Elderly_5.

[0113] The specific control measures for the winter sleep temperature control curve of the elderly sleep comfort mode are as follows: when the central control module receives a message that the user has selected the elderly sleep comfort mode, and the central control module detects the current ambient temperature of the room... Based on the ambient temperature, the current operating mode is determined to be the winter pre-operation mode (e.g., at this time). After the winter operation mode is activated, the winter sleep temperature control curve will be executed. The central control module will retrieve the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for the elderly sleep mode from the sleep curve control module, and the specific control command is as follows:

[0114] After the start of executing the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for the elderly sleep comfort mode, the timing module and related actuator modules work together to control the temperature under the regulation of the central control module.

[0115] The timing module executes the timing command from the moment it enters the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for the elderly sleep comfort mode, and records this moment as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s;

[0116] For example, the specific temperature control parameters of the winter sleep temperature control curve for the elderly's sleep comfort mode are as follows: During the time period T0 to T1, the target room temperature T a_N For Win_Elderly_1; the target temperature T in the room during the time period T1 to T2. a_N For Win_Elderly_2; the target room temperature T during the time period T2 to T3. a_N The target temperature T in the room is TWin_Elderly_3 during the time period T3 to T4. a_N The target temperature T in the room is set to TWin_Elderly_4; after runtime T5, the target temperature T in the room is... a_N It is TWin_Elderly_5.

[0117] In the technical solution of this invention application: the value range of T1 is 0-60 min, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 30 min, that is, the preferred value range of the time period T0-T1 is 0-30 min; the value range of T2 is 150-210 min, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 180 min, that is, the preferred value range of the time period T1-T2 is 30-180 min; the value range of T3 is 300-360 min, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 330 min, that is, the preferred value range of the time period T2-T3 is 180-330 min; the value range of T4 is 390-450 min, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 420 min, that is, the preferred value range of the time period T3-T4 is 330-420 min; the value range of T5 is ≥T4. In the technical solution of this invention, when the running time reaches T4, the temperature control command after the T5 time period is executed.

[0118] In the technical solution of this invention application: the temperature control value of TSum_Elderly_1 is in the range of 22 to 28°C, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 25°C; the temperature control value of TSum_Elderly_2 is in the range of 23 to 29°C, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 26°C; the temperature control value of TSum_Elderly_3 is in the range of 25 to 30°C, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 28°C; the temperature control value of TSum_Elderly_4 is in the range of 23 to 29°C, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 26°C; the temperature control value of TSum_Elderly_5 is in the range of 22 to 28°C, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 25°C.

[0120] In the actual operation and control of the air conditioner, to avoid excessive humidity in the room, it is necessary to control both temperature and humidity simultaneously to meet the user's temperature and humidity requirements within the experimental environment. While controlling the air conditioner's operation according to the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current operating mode in the current sleep mode, humidity control is also performed; that is, the air conditioner's operation is controlled according to the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current operating mode in the current sleep mode.

[0121] The indoor unit's inner ring temperature sensor collects a set of indoor ambient temperature parameters Ta at time intervals of ΔT3; the indoor unit's inner ring humidity sensor collects a set of indoor ambient relative humidity parameters RH at time intervals of ΔT3; and the evaporator inner pipe temperature sensor collects a set of evaporator inner pipe temperature parameters T at time intervals of ΔT3. 内管 The value of △T3 ranges from 1 to 30 min, with a preferred value of 15 min.

[0122] For example, starting from the air conditioner executing any of the corresponding child sleep mode, adult male sleep mode, adult female sleep mode, or elderly sleep mode, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode, according to the indoor ambient temperature Ta, indoor ambient relative humidity RH, and / or indoor heat exchanger temperature T_inner tube.

[0123] Specifically, during the summer operation mode (cooling mode), the relative humidity in the room is controlled at RHSum, which is within the preset summer relative humidity control range. In other words, the relative humidity in the room is within the preset summer relative humidity control range. During the winter operation mode (heating mode), the relative humidity in the room is controlled at RHWin, which is within the preset winter relative humidity control range. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 8 The summer relative humidity control curve and the winter relative humidity control curve are shown.

[0124] For example, in the technical solution of this application, the real-time relative humidity parameters of the room are collected by calling the inner loop humidity sensor in the sensor module. The preferred humidity control range of RHSum (relative humidity control range in summer) is 45% to 65%, and the preferred humidity control range of RHWin (relative humidity control range in winter) is 55% to 75%. In the actual operation control of the air conditioner, in order to avoid high humidity in the room or excessive dehumidification, it is necessary to control humidity while controlling temperature to meet the temperature and humidity requirements of the user in the experiment. Based on the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled. Specifically, this may include: when the relative humidity of the indoor environment is greater than the upper limit of the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode, controlling the air conditioner to operate at a preset temperature rise rate, so that the relative humidity of the indoor environment is maintained within the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode; when the relative humidity of the indoor environment is less than the lower limit of the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode, controlling the air conditioner to operate at a preset temperature drop rate, so that the relative humidity of the indoor environment is maintained within the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode.

[0125] More specifically, when the current operating mode is summer operating mode, if the indoor relative humidity is greater than the upper limit of the summer relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a preset temperature rise rate to regulate the temperature, so that the indoor relative humidity is within the summer relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode; if the indoor relative humidity is less than the lower limit of the summer relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a preset temperature drop rate to regulate the temperature, so that the indoor relative humidity is within the summer relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode.

[0126] For example, the summer relative humidity control range for the children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode is 45%–65%. When the indoor relative humidity parameter RH > 65%, the sleep curve control module adjusts the sleep temperature control curves of the children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode at a temperature rise rate of 0.5℃ / △T4 to keep the indoor relative humidity RH within the range of 45%–65%. When the indoor relative humidity parameter RH < 45%, the sleep curve control module adjusts the sleep temperature control curves of the children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode at a temperature drop rate of 0.5℃ / △T4 to keep the indoor relative humidity parameter RH within the range of 45%–65%. In the technical solution of this application, the value of △T4 ranges from 10 to 60 minutes, with a preferred value of 30 minutes.

[0127] Preferably, when the current operating mode is summer operating mode, when the air conditioner is controlled to run at a preset temperature rise rate, the indoor ambient temperature after the temperature rise is not higher than the temperature value corresponding to the upper limit curve of summer temperature and humidity control in the current sleep mode under the current operating mode.

[0128] The current sleep mode's summer temperature and humidity control upper limit curve, specifically, is a curve showing the temperature upper limit value of the current sleep mode under summer operation mode as a function of time. In other words, the goal is to ensure that the indoor ambient temperature after the temperature rise does not exceed the temperature value corresponding to the summer temperature and humidity control upper limit curve for the current sleep mode under the current operation mode. For example, the real-time indoor temperature after the temperature rise should not exceed the summer temperature and humidity control upper limit curve corresponding to the child's sleep mode, adult male's sleep mode, adult female's sleep mode, or elderly's sleep mode.

[0129] Preferably, when the current operating mode is summer operating mode, when the air conditioner is controlled to run at a preset temperature drop rate, the indoor ambient temperature after the temperature drop is not lower than the temperature value corresponding to the summer temperature and humidity control lower limit curve corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode, and the real-time indoor heat exchanger temperature is not lower than the sum of the indoor ambient dew point temperature and the preset temperature value.

[0130] The current sleep mode setting corresponds to the summer temperature and humidity control lower limit curve under the current operating mode. Specifically, it's a curve showing the change of the lower limit value of the current sleep mode setting under the summer operating mode over time. That is, the goal is to ensure that the indoor ambient temperature after cooling is not lower than the temperature value corresponding to the summer temperature and humidity control lower limit curve under the current sleep mode setting, and that the real-time indoor heat exchanger temperature is not lower than the sum of the indoor ambient dew point temperature and the preset temperature value. For example, during the cooling process, the real-time indoor pipe temperature T of the air conditioner is kept within a certain range. 内管 The value cannot be lower than the indoor dew point temperature "Td+2℃". 2℃ is the preset temperature value to avoid excessive reduction of indoor air humidity. The real-time indoor temperature after the temperature drop cannot be lower than the summer temperature and humidity control lower limit curve corresponding to the children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode or elderly sleep mode.

[0131] The summer temperature and humidity control upper limit curve can be specifically defined as: the curve obtained by increasing the temperature value at each time point on the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to different sleep modes under summer operation mode by a first preset temperature value. For example, this includes the sleep temperature control curves under summer operation mode for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode, and the temperature point curves corresponding to each sleep stage temperature point increased by 1℃ (the first preset temperature value). Further details can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The upper limit curves for summer temperature and humidity control are shown in the figures for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode, respectively.

[0132] The summer temperature and humidity control lower limit curve can be specifically defined as: the curve obtained by reducing the temperature value at each time point on the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to different sleep modes under summer operation mode by a second preset temperature value. For example, this includes the temperature point curves corresponding to the sleep temperature control curves under summer operation mode for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode, after reducing the temperature point at each sleep stage by 1℃ (the second preset temperature value). Further details can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The lower limit curves of summer temperature and humidity control are shown in the figures for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly people's sleep mode, respectively.

[0133] When the current operating mode is winter operating mode, if the indoor relative humidity is greater than the upper limit of the preset winter relative humidity control range, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a preset temperature rise rate to regulate the temperature, so that the indoor relative humidity is within the preset winter relative humidity control range; if the indoor relative humidity is less than the lower limit of the preset winter relative humidity control range, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a preset temperature drop rate to regulate the temperature, so that the indoor relative humidity is within the preset winter relative humidity control range.

[0134] For example, the relative humidity control range in winter is 55%–75%. When the indoor relative humidity parameter RH > 75%, the sleep curve control module adjusts the sleep temperature control curves of the children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode at a temperature rise rate of 0.5℃ / △T4 to keep the indoor relative humidity RH within the range of 45%–65%. When the indoor relative humidity parameter RH < 55%, the sleep curve control module adjusts the sleep temperature control curves of the children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode at a temperature drop rate of 0.5℃ / △T4 to keep the indoor relative humidity parameter RH within the range of 55%–75%. In the technical solution of this application, the value of △T4 ranges from 10 to 60 minutes, with a preferred value of 30 minutes.

[0135] Preferably, when the current operating mode is winter operating mode, when the air conditioner is controlled to run at a preset temperature rise rate, the indoor ambient temperature after the temperature rise is not higher than the temperature value corresponding to the upper limit curve of winter temperature and humidity control in the current sleep mode under the current operating mode.

[0136] The current sleep mode's winter temperature and humidity control upper limit curve, specifically, is a curve showing the temperature upper limit value of the current sleep mode under winter operating conditions as a function of time. In other words, the goal is to ensure that the indoor ambient temperature after the temperature rise does not exceed the temperature value corresponding to the winter temperature and humidity control upper limit curve for the current sleep mode under the current operating conditions. For example, the real-time indoor temperature after the temperature rise should not exceed the winter temperature and humidity control upper limit curve corresponding to the child's sleep mode, adult male's sleep mode, adult female's sleep mode, or elderly's sleep mode.

[0137] Preferably, when the current operating mode is winter operating mode, when the air conditioner is controlled to run at a preset temperature drop rate, the indoor ambient temperature after the temperature drop is not lower than the temperature corresponding to the winter temperature and humidity control lower limit curve corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode.

[0138] The current sleep mode's winter temperature and humidity control lower limit curve, specifically, is a curve showing the change of the lower temperature limit of the current sleep mode under winter operating conditions over time. In other words, the goal is to ensure that the indoor temperature after cooling is not lower than the temperature value corresponding to the winter temperature and humidity control lower limit curve for the current sleep mode under current operating conditions. For example, the real-time indoor temperature after cooling should not be lower than the winter temperature and humidity control lower limit curve corresponding to the child's sleep mode, adult male's sleep mode, adult female's sleep mode, or elderly's sleep mode.

[0139] The specific upper limit curve for winter temperature and humidity control can be: the curve obtained by increasing the temperature value at each time point on the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to different sleep modes in winter operation mode by a third preset temperature value. For example, the sleep temperature control curves in winter operation mode for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode are the temperature point curves corresponding to each sleep stage temperature point after increasing by 1.5℃ (the third preset temperature value). See also the following for details. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The upper limit curves for winter temperature and humidity control are shown in the figures for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode, respectively.

[0140] The specific winter temperature and humidity control lower limit curve can be: the curve obtained by reducing the temperature value at each time point on the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to different sleep modes under winter operation mode by a fourth preset temperature value. For example, the sleep temperature control curves under winter operation mode for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode are the temperature point curves corresponding to the temperature points at each sleep stage after reducing the temperature point by 1℃ (the fourth preset temperature value). For more details, please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The lower limit curves of winter temperature and humidity control are shown in the figures for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode, respectively.

[0141] The control scheme of this invention can be understood as follows:

[0142] In summer, if the indoor relative humidity is within the corresponding relative humidity control range (e.g., 45% ≤ RH ≤ 65%), the temperature control will be executed according to the summer sleep comfort temperature control curve corresponding to the children's sleep comfort mode, adult men's sleep comfort mode, adult women's sleep comfort mode, and elderly sleep comfort mode. Otherwise, the summer temperature and humidity linkage control command corresponding to the children's sleep comfort mode, adult men's sleep comfort mode, adult women's sleep comfort mode, and elderly sleep comfort mode will be executed first.

[0143] In winter, if the indoor relative humidity is within the corresponding relative humidity control range (e.g., 55% ≤ RH ≤ 75%), the temperature control will be executed according to the winter sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the child sleep mode, adult male sleep mode, adult female sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode. Otherwise, the winter temperature and humidity linkage control command corresponding to the child sleep mode, adult male sleep mode, adult female sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode will be executed first.

[0144] The principle of temperature and humidity linkage control in this invention can be understood as follows:

[0145] The temperature rise control measures implemented when the relative humidity of the indoor environment in summer is greater than the upper limit of the corresponding relative humidity control range (e.g., RH > 65%) are to reduce the relative humidity of the indoor air by increasing the dry bulb temperature of the indoor air, thereby reducing the feeling of dampness on the human body, on the premise of avoiding excessive decrease in indoor air humidity.

[0146] The temperature drop control measures implemented when the relative humidity of the indoor environment in summer is less than the lower limit of the corresponding relative humidity control range (e.g., RH < 45%) are to reduce the dry bulb temperature of the indoor air and increase the relative humidity of the indoor air to alleviate the dry feeling of the human body, on the premise of avoiding excessive decrease in indoor air humidity.

[0147] The temperature rise control measures implemented when the relative humidity of the indoor environment in winter is greater than the upper limit of the corresponding relative humidity control range (e.g., RH > 75%) are to reduce the relative humidity of the indoor air by increasing the dry bulb temperature of the indoor air, thereby reducing the feeling of dampness on the human body, on the premise of avoiding excessive decrease in indoor air humidity.

[0148] The temperature drop control measures implemented when the relative humidity of the indoor environment is less than the lower limit of the corresponding relative humidity control range in winter (e.g., RH < 55%) are to reduce the dry bulb temperature of the indoor air and increase the relative humidity of the indoor air to alleviate the feeling of dryness on the premise of avoiding excessive decrease in indoor air humidity.

[0149] The core control concept of the above-mentioned temperature and humidity linkage control can be understood as follows: under the premise of ensuring that the indoor air humidity does not change much, the indoor air relative humidity is adjusted by controlling the change of indoor temperature, so as to avoid users feeling excessively humid or dry.

[0150] Figure 9 This is a structural block diagram of an embodiment of the air conditioner control device provided by the present invention. Figure 9 As shown, the control device 100 of the air conditioner includes: a determining unit 110, an acquiring unit 120, and a control unit 130.

[0151] The determining unit 110 is used to determine the current set sleep mode of the air conditioner when it receives a control command to activate the sleep mode.

[0152] Specifically, after the air conditioner is turned on, it determines whether the user has activated the sleep mode. When a command to activate the sleep mode is received, the user's selected sleep mode is determined. The sleep mode includes two or more different sleep modes pre-set for users with two or more different attributes. In one specific implementation, users are categorized into children, adult men, adult women, and the elderly based on age and / or gender attributes. The sleep modes for children, adult men, adult women, and the elderly respectively include: a children's sleep mode (i.e., a sleep mode set for children), an adult men's sleep mode (i.e., a sleep mode set for adult men), an adult women's sleep mode (i.e., a sleep mode set for adult women), and an elderly's sleep mode (i.e., a sleep mode set for the elderly).

[0153] Different sleep modes correspond to different sleep temperature control curves. For example, the children's sleep mode corresponds to the children's sleep temperature control curve, which is used for children; the adult men's sleep mode corresponds to the adult men's sleep temperature control curve, which is used for adult men; the adult women's sleep mode corresponds to the adult women's sleep temperature control curve, which is used for adult women; and the elderly's sleep mode corresponds to the elderly's sleep temperature control curve, which is used for elderly people.

[0154] The sleep temperature control curves for the described sleep modes for children, adult men, adult women, and the elderly are primarily designed to account for the physiological differences in sleep patterns among different age groups and genders. Their environmental temperature requirements during sleep vary, and mismatched room temperatures may lead to uncomfortably cold or hot conditions. Furthermore, inappropriate cooling or heating temperature control can result in energy waste. Therefore, the sleep temperature control curves for these sleep modes provide targeted services to different user groups, offering a comfortable sleep environment while also contributing to the efficient use of air conditioning energy.

[0155] The acquisition unit 120 is used to acquire the current outdoor ambient temperature, determine the current operating mode of the air conditioner based on the current outdoor ambient temperature, and acquire the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode and the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode.

[0156] Specifically, the sleep temperature control curves corresponding to different sleep modes include the sleep temperature control curves under different operating modes, that is, different sleep modes correspond to different sleep temperature control curves under different operating modes.

[0157] The operating modes may specifically include: a summer operating mode (e.g., a cooling mode) and a winter operating mode (e.g., a heating mode). For example, if the outdoor ambient temperature... If the current operating mode is determined to be winter operating mode (e.g., heating mode), then the sleep temperature control curve of the currently set sleep mode in heating mode is obtained; if the outdoor ambient temperature... If the current operating mode is determined to be the summer operating mode (e.g., cooling mode), then the sleep temperature control curve of the current set sleep mode in the summer operating mode is obtained.

[0158] For example, if a user selects one of the following sleep modes—children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, or elderly sleep mode—then the current outdoor ambient temperature of the room is calculated. Determine the sleep curve (i.e., sleep temperature control curve) under the specific cooling or heating mode.

[0159] Preferably, when the control unit 130 receives a control command to activate the sleep mode, before the acquisition unit acquires the current outdoor ambient temperature, it controls the air conditioner's compressor to enter a stop state, controls the air conditioner's outdoor fan to run at a preset maximum speed, and after the outdoor fan has run at the preset maximum speed for a first preset time, it controls the outdoor fan to enter a stop state. Then, the acquisition unit 120 acquires the current outdoor ambient temperature, determines the current operating mode of the air conditioner based on the current outdoor ambient temperature, and acquires the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode, as well as the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode. The first preset time ΔT1 can range from 1 to 5 minutes, with a preferred value of 2 minutes.

[0160] The preset running time △T1 is for when the air conditioner switches to sleep mode after running other modes. In this case, after the compressor stops, the outdoor unit's heat exchanger is still in a state of being either too cold or too hot compared to the ambient temperature. To address this, the outdoor fan speed is increased to maximum. However, to ensure the outdoor unit's heat exchanger fully exchanges heat with the ambient temperature and avoids errors in subsequent ambient temperature detection, a running time △T1 is set. This allows for a more accurate detection of the current room's ambient temperature.

[0161] Outdoor ambient temperature data is collected using sensors or an outer ring temperature sensor. Specifically, a set of ambient temperature data (T) can be collected at time intervals of ΔT2. a_w The current outdoor ambient temperature is obtained by averaging multiple sets of data. For example, a total of 6 sets of ambient temperature data (T) were collected. a_w Then, the collected 6 sets of ambient temperature data T a_w After filtering to remove the maximum and minimum values, the remaining four sets of data are averaged, and the average value is taken as the current ambient temperature of the room. The value of △T2 can range from 5 to 60 s, with 30 s being the preferred value.

[0162] Different operating modes correspond to different sleep relative humidity control curves. Specifically, the operating modes may include: summer operating mode (e.g., cooling mode) and winter operating mode (e.g., heating mode). Therefore, when the current operating mode is summer operating mode (e.g., cooling mode), it corresponds to the summer sleep relative humidity control curve; when the current operating mode is winter operating mode (e.g., heating mode), it corresponds to the winter sleep relative humidity control curve.

[0163] The relative humidity control curve corresponding to the current operating mode can specifically be the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode. For example, the relative humidity control range corresponding to the child's sleep mode, adult male's sleep mode, adult female's sleep mode, and elderly's sleep mode in summer or winter operating modes. Different sleep modes may have the same or different relative humidity control ranges in summer operating modes, and different sleep modes may have the same or different relative humidity control ranges in winter operating modes. For example, people with different attributes may have different requirements for indoor relative humidity.

[0164] More specifically, during the summer operation mode (cooling mode), the relative humidity in the room is controlled at RHSum, which is within the preset summer relative humidity control range. In other words, the relative humidity in the room is within the preset summer relative humidity control range. During the winter operation mode (heating mode), the relative humidity in the room is controlled at RHWin, which is within the preset winter relative humidity control range. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 8 The summer relative humidity (control) curve and the winter relative humidity (control) curve are shown.

[0165] The control unit 130 is used to control the operation of the air conditioner according to the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode and the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode, which are obtained by the acquisition unit 120.

[0166] Specifically, the control unit 130 controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode. That is, by controlling the operation of the air conditioner, the change in indoor ambient temperature over time is made to align with the sleep temperature control curve. The control unit also controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode, thus maintaining the indoor relative humidity within the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode. In other words, by controlling the operation of the air conditioner, the change in indoor ambient temperature over time is made to align with the sleep temperature control curve, and the indoor relative humidity is maintained within the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode.

[0167] When starting to execute the temperature control curve corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode, the real-time indoor air temperature parameter value (i.e., the current indoor ambient temperature) T is collected. a_N Based on the indoor ambient temperature, and according to the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operating mode, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled.

[0168] The sleep temperature control curve is, in other words, the curve showing how the target temperature of the air conditioner changes over time in the corresponding sleep mode, specifically, the curve showing how the target temperature changes with the time the sleep mode is activated. More specifically, the sleep temperature control curve includes: the target temperature (i.e., the target temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located) T corresponding to each of two or more preset consecutive time periods from the start of sleep mode activation (i.e., the start of controlling the air conditioner's operation according to the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current operating mode based on the acquired current sleep mode settings). a_N For example, starting from the start of sleep mode, a timing command is executed, and this moment is designated as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s. The time from T0 until the air conditioner's running time reaches T1 is recorded as the T0~T1 time period. The time from T1 until the air conditioner's running time reaches T2 is recorded as the T1~T2 time period, and so on.

[0169] The control unit 130 controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the acquired sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode and the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode, that is, according to the target temperature T corresponding to each time period (i.e., the target temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located). a_NControl the operation of the air conditioner so that the change of indoor ambient temperature over time is consistent with the sleep temperature control curve, and keep the relative humidity of the indoor environment within the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current sleep mode in the current operation mode.

[0170] The following explanations use the aforementioned examples of sleep modes for children, adults, women, and the elderly, respectively, to illustrate the temperature control curves for each mode:

[0171] (1) Temperature control curve for children's sleep mode

[0172] like Figure 4 As shown, in the temperature control curve of the children's sleep mode, different operating modes correspond to different children's sleep temperature control curves, involving two sets of sleep curves and their control measures, namely the summer (sleep) temperature control curve and the winter (sleep) temperature control curve.

[0173] The summer sleep temperature control curve for the children's sleep mode uses the following specific control measures: When the central control module receives a message that the user has selected the children's sleep mode, and the central control module detects the current ambient temperature of the room... Based on the ambient temperature, the current operating mode is determined to be the summer operating mode (e.g., at this time). After implementing the summer operation mode, the summer sleep temperature control curve will be executed.

[0174] The central control module will retrieve the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for the children's sleep mode from the sleep curve control module. The specific control command is as follows: after the execution of the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for the children's sleep mode begins, under the control of the central control module, the timing module and related actuator modules jointly participate in the temperature control command; the timing module executes the timing command from the start of executing the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for the children's sleep mode, and records this moment as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s;

[0175] For example, the specific temperature control parameters for the summer sleep temperature control curve of the children's sleep comfort mode are as follows: During the time period T0 to T1, the target room temperature T a_N Let TSum_Child_1 be the target temperature T in the room during the time period T1 to T2. a_N For TSum_Child_2; the target temperature T in the room during the time period T2 to T3. a_N The target temperature T in the room is TSum_Child_3; during the time period T3 to T4. a_N The target temperature for the air conditioner's outlet air temperature is TSum_Child_4 after runtime T5;

[0176] The winter sleep temperature control curve for the children's sleep mode employs the following specific control measures: When the central control module receives a notification that the user has selected the children's sleep mode, and the central control module detects the current ambient temperature of the room... Based on the ambient temperature, the current operating mode is determined to be the winter operating mode (for example, at this time). After the winter operation mode is activated, the winter sleep temperature control curve will be executed. The central control module will retrieve the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for the child's sleep mode from the sleep curve control module, and the specific control command is as follows:

[0177] After the start of executing the winter sleep temperature control curve control command of the children's soothing sleep mode, the timing module and related actuator modules jointly participate in the temperature control command under the regulation of the central control module;

[0178] The timing module executes the timing command from the moment it enters the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for the child's soothing sleep mode, and records this moment as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s;

[0179] The specific temperature control parameters for the winter sleep temperature control curve in the children's sleep comfort mode are as follows:

[0180] During the time period T0 to T1, the target temperature T in the room a_N Let Win_Child_1 be the target temperature T in the room during the time period T1 to T2. a_N Let TWin_Child_2 be the target temperature T in the room during the time period T2 to T3. a_N For Win_Child_3; the target room temperature T during the time period T3 to T4. a_N The target temperature for the air conditioner's outlet air temperature is TWin_Child_4 after runtime T5;

[0181] The value of T1 ranges from 0 to 60 minutes, and the preferred value of the technical solution in this application is 30 minutes, that is, the preferred value range of the time period from T0 to T1 is 0 to 30 minutes; the value of T2 ranges from 150 to 210 minutes, and the preferred value of the technical solution in this application is 180 minutes, that is, the preferred value range of the time period from T1 to T2 is 30 to 180 minutes; the value of T3 ranges from 300 to 360 minutes, and the preferred value of the technical solution in this application is 330 minutes, that is, the preferred value range of the time period from T2 to T3 is 180 to 330 minutes; the value of T4 ranges from 390 to 450 minutes, and the preferred value of the technical solution in this application is 420 minutes, that is, the preferred value range of the time period from T3 to T4 is 330 to 420 minutes; the value of T5 is ≥ T4. In the technical solution of this application, when the running time reaches T4, the temperature control command after the T5 time period is executed.

[0184] (2) Temperature control curve for adult male sleep mode

[0185] like Figure 5 As shown, in the adult male sleep temperature control curve, different operating modes correspond to different adult male sleep temperature control curves, involving two sets of sleep curves and their control measures: summer (sleep) temperature control curve and winter (sleep) temperature control curve.

[0186] The summer sleep temperature control curve for the adult male sleep mode is specifically controlled as follows: when the central control module receives a message that the user has selected the adult male sleep mode, and the central control module detects the current ambient temperature of the room... Then, based on the ambient temperature, the current operating mode is determined to be the summer operating mode (for example, at this time). After the summer operation mode is executed, the summer sleep temperature control curve will be executed. The central control module will retrieve the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for adult male sleep mode from the sleep curve control module, and the specific control command is as follows:

[0187] After the start of executing the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for adult males' soothing sleep mode, the timing module and related actuator modules work together to control the temperature under the regulation of the central control module.

[0188] The timing module executes the timing command from the moment it enters the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for adult male sleep comfort mode, and records this moment as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s;

[0189] For example, the specific temperature control parameters for the summer sleep temperature control curve of the adult male's sleep comfort mode are as follows:

[0190] During the time period T0 to T1, the target temperature for the air conditioner's outlet air is TSum_Man_1; during the time period T1 to T2, the target temperature inside the room is T. a_N For TSum_Man_2; the target temperature T in the room during the time period T2 to T3. a_N The target temperature T in the room is TSum_Man_3; during the time period T3 to T4. a_N The value is TSum_Man_4; after runtime T5, the target temperature T in the room is... a_N It is TSum_Man_5.

[0191] The specific control measures for the winter sleep comfort temperature control curve of the adult male sleep comfort mode are as follows: when the central control module receives a message that the user has selected the adult male sleep comfort mode, and the central control module detects the current ambient temperature of the room... Based on the ambient temperature, the current operating mode is determined to be the winter operating mode (for example, at this time). After the winter operation mode is activated, the winter sleep temperature control curve will be executed. The central control module will retrieve the control command for the winter sleep temperature control curve of the adult male sleep mode from the sleep curve control module, and the specific control command is as follows:

[0192] After the start of executing the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for adult males in the soothing sleep mode, the timing module and related actuator modules work together to control the temperature under the regulation of the central control module.

[0193] The timing module executes the timing command from the moment it enters the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for adult males' sleep comfort mode, and records this moment as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s;

[0194] The specific temperature control parameters for the winter sleep temperature control curve of the adult male sleep comfort mode are as follows: During the time period T0 to T1, the target room temperature T a_N Let TWin_Man_1 be the target temperature T in the room during the time period T1 to T2. a_N For Win_Man_2; the target temperature T in the room during the time period T2 to T3. a_N For Win_Man_3; the target room temperature T during the time period T3 to T4. a_N For Win_Man_4; after runtime T5, the target temperature T in the room. a_N It is TWin_Man_5.

[0195] In the technical solution of this invention application: the value range of T1 is 0-60 min, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 30 min, that is, the preferred value range of the time period T0-T1 is 0-30 min; the value range of T2 is 150-210 min, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 180 min, that is, the preferred value range of the time period T1-T2 is 30-180 min; the value range of T3 is 300-360 min, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 330 min, that is, the preferred value range of the time period T2-T3 is 180-330 min; the value range of T4 is 390-450 min, and the preferred value of the technical solution of this invention is 420 min, that is, the preferred value range of the time period T3-T4 is 330-420 min; the value range of T5 is ≥T4. In the technical solution of this invention, when the running time reaches T4, the temperature control command after the T5 time period is executed.

[0198] (3) Temperature control curve for adult women's sleep mode

[0199] like Figure 6 As shown. In the adult female sleep temperature control curve, different operating modes correspond to different adult female sleep temperature control curves, involving two sets of sleep curves and their control measures: summer (sleep) temperature curve and winter (sleep) temperature curve.

[0200] The summer sleep comfort temperature control curve for the adult female sleep comfort mode uses the following specific control measures: When the central control module receives a message that the user has selected the adult female sleep comfort mode, and the central control module detects the current ambient temperature of the room... Based on the ambient temperature, the current operating mode is determined to be the summer operating mode (e.g., at this time). After the summer operation mode is executed, the summer sleep temperature control curve will be executed. The central control module will retrieve the summer sleep temperature control curve control instruction for adult women's sleep mode from the sleep curve control module, and the specific control instruction is as follows:

[0201] After the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for the adult female sleep comfort mode is executed, the timing module and related actuator modules work together to control the temperature under the regulation of the central control module.

[0202] The timing module executes the timing command from the moment it enters the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for adult women's sleep comfort mode, and records this moment as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s;

[0203] For example, the specific temperature control parameters for the summer sleep temperature control curve of the adult female sleep comfort mode are as follows: During the time period T0 to T1, the target room temperature T a_N Let TSum_Lady_1 be the target temperature T in the room during the time period T1 to T2. a_N For TSum_Lady_2; the target room temperature T during the time period T2 to T3. a_N The target temperature T in the room is TSum_Lady_3; during the time period T3 to T4.a_N The target temperature T in the empty room is TSum_Lady_4; after runtime T5, the target temperature T is... a_N It is TSum_Lady_5.

[0204] The winter sleep temperature control curve for the adult female sleep mode uses the following specific control measures: When the central control module receives a message that the user has selected the adult female sleep mode, and the central control module detects the current ambient temperature of the room... Based on the ambient temperature, the current operating mode is determined to be the winter pre-operation mode (e.g., at this time). After the winter operation mode is activated, the winter sleep temperature control curve will be executed. The central control module will retrieve the control command for the winter sleep temperature control curve of the adult female sleep mode from the sleep curve control module, and the specific control command is as follows:

[0205] After the start of executing the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for adult female sleep comfort mode, the timing module and related actuator modules work together to control the temperature under the regulation of the central control module.

[0206] The timing module executes the timing command from the moment it enters the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for adult women's sleep comfort mode, and records this moment as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s;

[0207] The specific temperature control parameters for the winter sleep temperature control curve of the adult female's sleep comfort mode are as follows: During the time period T0 to T1, the target room temperature T a_N Let TWin_Lady_1 be the target temperature T in the room during the time period T1 to T2. a_N For Win_Lady_2; the target room temperature T during the time period T2 to T3. a_N For Win_Lady_3; the target room temperature T during the time period T3 to T4. a_N The target temperature T in the room is set to TWin_Lady_4; after runtime T5, the target temperature T in the room is set to TWin_Lady_4. a_N It is TWin_Lady_5.

[0212] like Figure 7 As shown, in the elderly sleep comfort temperature control curve, different operating modes correspond to different elderly sleep comfort mode temperature control curves, involving two sets of sleep curves and their control measures: summer (sleep) temperature curve and winter (sleep) temperature curve.

[0213] The specific control measures for the summer sleep comfort temperature control curve of the elderly sleep comfort mode are as follows: when the central control module receives a message that the user has selected the elderly sleep comfort mode, and the central control module detects the current ambient temperature of the room... Based on the ambient temperature, the current operating mode is determined to be the summer operating mode (e.g., at this time). After the summer operation mode is executed, the summer sleep temperature control curve will be executed. The central control module will retrieve the control instructions for the elderly sleep mode summer sleep temperature control curve from the sleep curve control module, and the specific control instructions are as follows:

[0214] After the start of executing the summer sleep temperature control curve control command of the elderly sleep comfort mode, the timing module and related actuator modules jointly participate in the temperature control command under the regulation of the central control module;

[0215] The timing module executes the timing command from the moment it enters the summer sleep temperature control curve control command for the elderly sleep comfort mode, and records this moment as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s;

[0216] The specific temperature control parameters for the summer sleep temperature control curve of the elderly's sleep comfort mode are as follows: During the time period T0 to T1, the target room temperature T a_N The value is TSum_Elderly_1; the target temperature T in the room during the time period T1 to T2. a_N The value is TSum_Elderly_2; the target room temperature T during the time period T2 to T3. a_N The target temperature T in the room is TSum_Elderly_3; during the time period T3 to T4. a_N The target temperature T in the room is TSum_Elderly_4; after runtime T5, the target temperature T in the room is... a_N It is TSum_Elderly_5.

[0217] The specific control measures for the winter sleep comfort temperature control curve of the elderly sleep comfort mode are as follows: when the central control module receives a message that the user has selected the elderly sleep comfort mode, and the central control module detects the current ambient temperature of the room... Based on the ambient temperature, the current operating mode is determined to be the winter pre-operation mode (e.g., at this time). After the winter operation mode is activated, the winter sleep temperature control curve will be executed. The central control module will retrieve the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for the elderly sleep mode from the sleep curve control module, and the specific control command is as follows:

[0218] After the start of executing the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for the elderly sleep comfort mode, the timing module and related actuator modules work together to control the temperature under the regulation of the central control module.

[0219] The timing module executes the timing command from the moment it enters the winter sleep temperature control curve control command for the elderly sleep comfort mode, and records this moment as T0, i.e., T0 = 0s;

[0220] For example, the specific temperature control parameters of the winter sleep temperature control curve for the elderly's sleep comfort mode are as follows: During the time period T0 to T1, the target room temperature T a_N For Win_Elderly_1; the target temperature T in the room during the time period T1 to T2. a_N For Win_Elderly_2; the target room temperature T during the time period T2 to T3. a_N The target temperature T in the room is TWin_Elderly_3 during the time period T3 to T4. a_N The target temperature T in the room is set to TWin_Elderly_4; after runtime T5, the target temperature T in the room is... a_N It is TWin_Elderly_5.

[0224] In the actual operation and control of the air conditioner, to avoid excessive humidity removal or inadequate dehumidification in the room, it is necessary to control both temperature and humidity to meet the user's temperature and humidity requirements within the experimental environment. The control unit 130 controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the current operating mode in the currently set sleep mode, while simultaneously performing humidity control, that is, controlling the operation of the air conditioner according to the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current operating mode in the currently set sleep mode.

[0225] The indoor unit's inner ring temperature sensor collects a set of indoor ambient temperature parameters Ta at time intervals of ΔT3; the indoor unit's inner ring humidity sensor collects a set of indoor ambient relative humidity parameters RH at time intervals of ΔT3; and the evaporator inner pipe temperature sensor collects a set of evaporator inner pipe temperature parameters T at time intervals of ΔT3. 内管 The value of △T3 ranges from 1 to 30 min, with a preferred value of 15 min.

[0226] For example, starting from the start of the air conditioner executing any of the corresponding child sleep mode, adult male sleep mode, adult female sleep mode, or elderly sleep mode, the control unit 130 controls the operation of the air conditioner based on the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode, according to the indoor ambient temperature Ta, indoor ambient relative humidity RH, and / or indoor heat exchanger temperature T_inner tube.

[0227] Specifically, during the summer operation mode (cooling mode), the control unit 130 controls the indoor relative humidity to RHSum, which is within the preset summer relative humidity control range. In other words, the indoor relative humidity is controlled within the preset summer relative humidity control range. During the winter operation mode (heating mode), the control unit 130 controls the room relative humidity to RHWin, which is within the preset winter relative humidity control range. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 8The summer relative humidity control curve and the winter relative humidity control curve are shown.

[0228] For example, in the technical solution of this application, the real-time relative humidity parameters of the room are collected by calling the inner loop humidity sensor in the sensor module. The preferred humidity control range of RHSum (relative humidity control range in summer) is 45% to 65%, and the preferred humidity control range of RHWin (relative humidity control range in winter) is 55% to 75%. In the actual operation control of the air conditioner, in order to avoid high humidity in the room or excessive dehumidification, it is necessary to control humidity while controlling temperature to meet the temperature and humidity requirements of the user in the experiment. The control unit 130 controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode. Specifically, it may include: when the relative humidity of the indoor environment is greater than the upper limit of the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode, controlling the air conditioner to operate at a preset temperature rise rate so that the relative humidity of the indoor environment is maintained within the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode; when the relative humidity of the indoor environment is less than the lower limit of the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode, controlling the air conditioner to operate at a preset temperature drop rate so that the relative humidity of the indoor environment is maintained within the relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode.

[0229] More specifically, when the current operating mode is summer operating mode, if the relative humidity of the indoor environment is greater than the upper limit of the summer relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode, the control unit 130 controls the air conditioner to operate at a preset temperature rise rate to regulate the temperature, so that the relative humidity of the indoor environment is within the summer relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode; if the relative humidity of the indoor environment is less than the lower limit of the summer relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode, the control unit 130 controls the air conditioner to operate at a preset temperature drop rate to regulate the temperature, so that the relative humidity of the indoor environment is within the summer relative humidity control range corresponding to the current set sleep mode.

[0230] For example, the summer relative humidity control range for the children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode is 45%–65%. When the indoor relative humidity parameter RH > 65%, the sleep curve control module adjusts the sleep temperature control curves of the children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode at a temperature rise rate of 0.5℃ / △T4 to keep the indoor relative humidity RH within the range of 45%–65%. When the indoor relative humidity parameter RH < 45%, the sleep curve control module adjusts the sleep temperature control curves of the children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode at a temperature drop rate of 0.5℃ / △T4 to keep the indoor relative humidity parameter RH within the range of 45%–65%. In the technical solution of this application, the value of △T4 ranges from 10 to 60 minutes, with a preferred value of 30 minutes.

[0231] Preferably, the control unit 130 is further configured to: when the current operating mode is summer operating mode, and when controlling the air conditioner to operate at a preset temperature rise rate, ensure that the indoor ambient temperature after the temperature rise is not higher than the temperature value corresponding to the upper limit curve of summer temperature and humidity control corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode; and / or, when controlling the air conditioner to operate at a preset temperature drop rate, ensure that the indoor ambient temperature after the temperature drop is not lower than the temperature value corresponding to the lower limit curve of summer temperature and humidity control corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode, and that the real-time indoor heat exchanger temperature is not lower than the sum of the indoor ambient dew point temperature and the preset temperature value.

[0232] The current sleep mode's summer temperature and humidity control upper limit curve, specifically, is a curve showing the temperature upper limit value of the current sleep mode under summer operation mode as a function of time. In other words, the goal is to ensure that the indoor ambient temperature after the temperature rise does not exceed the temperature value corresponding to the summer temperature and humidity control upper limit curve for the current sleep mode under the current operation mode. For example, the real-time indoor temperature after the temperature rise should not exceed the summer temperature and humidity control upper limit curve corresponding to the child's sleep mode, adult male's sleep mode, adult female's sleep mode, or elderly's sleep mode.

[0233] The current sleep mode setting corresponds to the summer temperature and humidity control lower limit curve under the current operating mode. Specifically, it's a curve showing the change of the lower limit value of the current sleep mode setting under the summer operating mode over time. That is, the goal is to ensure that the indoor ambient temperature after cooling is not lower than the temperature value corresponding to the summer temperature and humidity control lower limit curve under the current sleep mode setting, and that the real-time indoor heat exchanger temperature is not lower than the sum of the indoor ambient dew point temperature and the preset temperature value. For example, during the cooling process, the real-time indoor pipe temperature T of the air conditioner is kept within a certain range. 内管The value cannot be lower than the indoor dew point temperature "Td+2℃". 2℃ is the preset temperature value to avoid excessive reduction of indoor air humidity. The real-time indoor temperature after the temperature drop cannot be lower than the summer temperature and humidity control lower limit curve corresponding to the children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode or elderly sleep mode.

[0234] The summer temperature and humidity control upper limit curve can be specifically defined as: the curve obtained by increasing the temperature value at each time point on the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to different sleep modes under summer operation mode by a first preset temperature value. For example, this includes the sleep temperature control curves under summer operation mode for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode, and the temperature point curves corresponding to each sleep stage temperature point increased by 1℃ (the first preset temperature value). Further details can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The upper limit curves for summer temperature and humidity control are shown in the figures for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode, respectively.

[0235] The summer temperature and humidity control lower limit curve can be specifically defined as: the curve obtained by reducing the temperature value at each time point on the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to different sleep modes under summer operation mode by a second preset temperature value. For example, this includes the temperature point curves corresponding to the sleep temperature control curves under summer operation mode for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode, after reducing the temperature point at each sleep stage by 1℃ (the second preset temperature value). Further details can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The lower limit curves of summer temperature and humidity control are shown in the figures for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly people's sleep mode, respectively.

[0236] More specifically, when the current operating mode is winter operating mode, if the indoor relative humidity is greater than the upper limit of the preset winter relative humidity control range, the control unit 130 controls the air conditioner to operate at a preset temperature rise rate to regulate the temperature, so that the indoor relative humidity is within the preset winter relative humidity control range; if the indoor relative humidity is less than the lower limit of the preset winter relative humidity control range, the control unit 130 controls the air conditioner to operate at a preset temperature drop rate to regulate the temperature, so that the indoor relative humidity is within the preset winter relative humidity control range.

[0237] For example, the relative humidity control range in winter is 55%–75%. When the indoor relative humidity parameter RH > 75%, the sleep curve control module adjusts the sleep temperature control curves of the children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode at a temperature rise rate of 0.5℃ / △T4 to keep the indoor relative humidity RH within the range of 45%–65%. When the indoor relative humidity parameter RH < 55%, the sleep curve control module adjusts the sleep temperature control curves of the children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode at a temperature drop rate of 0.5℃ / △T4 to keep the indoor relative humidity parameter RH within the range of 55%–75%. In the technical solution of this application, the value of △T4 ranges from 10 to 60 minutes, with a preferred value of 30 minutes.

[0238] Preferably, the control unit 130 is further configured to: when the current operating mode is winter operating mode, when controlling the air conditioner to operate at a preset temperature rise rate, ensure that the indoor ambient temperature after the temperature rise is not higher than the temperature value corresponding to the upper limit curve of winter temperature and humidity control corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode; and / or, when controlling the air conditioner to operate at a preset temperature drop rate, ensure that the indoor ambient temperature after the temperature drop is not lower than the temperature corresponding to the lower limit curve of winter temperature and humidity control corresponding to the current set sleep mode in the current operating mode.

[0239] The current sleep mode's winter temperature and humidity control upper limit curve, specifically, is a curve showing the temperature upper limit value of the current sleep mode under winter operating conditions as a function of time. In other words, the goal is to ensure that the indoor ambient temperature after the temperature rise does not exceed the temperature value corresponding to the winter temperature and humidity control upper limit curve for the current sleep mode under the current operating conditions. For example, the real-time indoor temperature after the temperature rise should not exceed the winter temperature and humidity control upper limit curve corresponding to the child's sleep mode, adult male's sleep mode, adult female's sleep mode, or elderly's sleep mode.

[0240] The current sleep mode's winter temperature and humidity control lower limit curve, specifically, is a curve showing the change of the lower temperature limit of the current sleep mode under winter operating conditions over time. In other words, the goal is to ensure that the indoor temperature after cooling is not lower than the temperature value corresponding to the winter temperature and humidity control lower limit curve for the current sleep mode under current operating conditions. For example, the real-time indoor temperature after cooling should not be lower than the winter temperature and humidity control lower limit curve corresponding to the child's sleep mode, adult male's sleep mode, adult female's sleep mode, or elderly's sleep mode.

[0241] The specific upper limit curve for winter temperature and humidity control can be: the curve obtained by increasing the temperature value at each time point on the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to different sleep modes in winter operation mode by a third preset temperature value. For example, the sleep temperature control curves in winter operation mode for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode are the temperature point curves corresponding to each sleep stage temperature point after increasing by 1.5℃ (the third preset temperature value). See also the following for details. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The upper limit curves for winter temperature and humidity control are shown in the figures for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode, respectively.

[0242] The specific winter temperature and humidity control lower limit curve can be: the curve obtained by reducing the temperature value at each time point on the sleep temperature control curve corresponding to different sleep modes under winter operation mode by a fourth preset temperature value. For example, the sleep temperature control curves under winter operation mode for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode are the temperature point curves corresponding to the temperature points at each sleep stage after reducing the temperature point by 1℃ (the fourth preset temperature value). For more details, please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The lower limit curves of winter temperature and humidity control are shown in the figures for children's sleep mode, adult men's sleep mode, adult women's sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode, respectively.

[0243] The control scheme of this invention can be understood as follows:

[0244] In summer, if the indoor relative humidity is within the corresponding relative humidity control range (e.g., 45% ≤ RH ≤ 65%), the temperature control will be executed according to the summer sleep comfort temperature control curve corresponding to the children's sleep comfort mode, adult men's sleep comfort mode, adult women's sleep comfort mode, and elderly sleep comfort mode. Otherwise, the summer temperature and humidity linkage control command corresponding to the children's sleep comfort mode, adult men's sleep comfort mode, adult women's sleep comfort mode, and elderly sleep comfort mode will be executed first.

[0245] In winter, if the indoor relative humidity is within the corresponding relative humidity control range (e.g., 55% ≤ RH ≤ 75%), the temperature control will be executed according to the winter sleep temperature control curve corresponding to the child sleep mode, adult male sleep mode, adult female sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode. Otherwise, the winter temperature and humidity linkage control command corresponding to the child sleep mode, adult male sleep mode, adult female sleep mode, and elderly sleep mode will be executed first.

[0246] The present invention also provides a storage medium corresponding to the control method of the air conditioner, wherein a computer program is stored thereon, and when the program is executed by a processor, the steps of any of the aforementioned methods are implemented.
