Current timer control logic typically involves the user setting a relative or absolute start time, at which point the unit executes the pre-set task. This requires accurate calculation of the pre-start time. However, users usually only know their arrival time and cannot accurately calculate the pre-start time, leading to the unit starting up too early or too late. This results in energy waste and fails to meet user needs. Summary of the Invention

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the air conditioner start-up control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, specifically including steps S101 to S104.

[0033] S101. Obtain the user-sent power-on time and power-on temperature settings;

[0034] S102. Extract a target reference time from the preset reference time schedule, and set a first detection time according to the set power-on time and the target reference time; wherein, the reference time schedule includes multiple reference times, and each reference time is obtained by testing according to different indoor ambient temperatures, different outdoor ambient temperatures and different test temperatures;

[0035] S103. Based on the first detection time, detect the indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures to obtain the first indoor ambient temperature and the first outdoor ambient temperature;

[0036] S104. Based on the set start-up temperature, the first indoor ambient temperature and the first outdoor ambient temperature, query the reference time schedule to obtain the preset start-up time, and then control the air conditioner to start up and run according to the preset start-up time.

[0037] This embodiment first obtains the scheduled start-up task information sent by the user, namely the set start-up time and set start-up temperature. At the same time, it selects a target reference time from the preset reference time schedule. Then, it obtains a first detection time based on the set start-up time and the target reference time. Then, based on the first detection time, it controls the air conditioner to detect the indoor and outdoor environment. Then, it uses the detected indoor and outdoor environmental temperatures and the set start-up temperature to compare and query the reference time schedule. The queried reference time is then used as the preset start-up time, and the air conditioner is started and operated according to the preset start-up time.

[0038] This embodiment obtains the user-sent set start-up time and set start-up temperature, and then combines them with a pre-set baseline timetable to obtain a first detection time. Based on this first detection time, the indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures are detected. Then, based on the relationship between the detection results and the set start-up temperature, the pre-start-up time of the air conditioner is determined. Based on this pre-start-up time, the start-up time of the air conditioner can be accurately controlled, thereby avoiding energy waste and failure to meet user needs due to the air conditioner starting up too early or too late.

[0039] In practical applications, air conditioners may store multiple set start-up times and temperatures sent by the user. When retrieving these set start-up times and temperatures, the most recent one sent by the user is retrieved. For example, a user can use a remote control or other terminal device to set a multi-day timed start-up task. After receiving this timed start-up task information, the air conditioner stores it in memory. After completing one timed start-up task, the air conditioner can retrieve the next timed start-up task (the most recent one) from memory. Furthermore, since the set start-up times and temperatures in a timed start-up task can be different, it is necessary to retrieve the most recently sent set start-up time and temperature for each task.

[0040] In one embodiment, step S102 includes:

[0041] Extract the maximum reference time from the preset reference time schedule, and use the maximum reference time as the target reference time;

[0042] Calculate the first time difference between the target reference time and the set power-on time, and set the first time difference as the first detection time.

[0043] In this embodiment, when extracting the target reference time, the maximum reference time is selected from the reference time table, and then this is used as the target reference time to calculate the first detection time t1, that is, t1 = t 设定 -t max , where t 设定 To set the power-on time, t max The maximum reference time is selected as the target reference time in this embodiment because after selecting the maximum reference time, the air conditioner needs the longest pre-start time. This ensures that the air conditioner can operate in low-power mode even under the worst-case scenario, thereby completing the timed start-up task.

[0044] It should also be noted that the reference time in this embodiment refers to the time it takes for the indoor ambient temperature to reach the test temperature.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, the air conditioner start-up control method further includes:

[0046] Set the air conditioner to low power mode.

[0047] Under different indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures, the time it takes for the indoor ambient temperature to reach the preset test temperature is measured.

[0048] The baseline time schedule is constructed based on all the baseline times and their corresponding indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures and test temperatures.

[0049] This embodiment measures the time required for different indoor ambient temperatures to reach a preset test temperature (i.e., the baseline time) by setting the air conditioner's operating mode and using multiple test data. Then, it establishes a baseline timetable by combining this test data and results. Specifically, firstly, considering the air conditioner model, external ambient temperature, and indoor ambient temperature, the baseline time for the indoor ambient temperature to reach each test temperature (the temperature set by the remote control) under standard conditions can be measured. Then, during the actual test, the test area size can be set to the maximum effective cooling / heating space for that model, and the air conditioner's operating mode can be set to low power mode. Next, the baseline time t for the indoor ambient temperature to reach each test temperature of the air conditioner is measured under different outdoor ambient temperatures (e.g., -10℃, -8℃, -6℃, ..., 36℃, 38℃, 40℃, etc.) and different indoor ambient temperatures (-10℃, -8℃, -6℃, ..., 36℃, 38℃, 40℃, etc.), while the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is no greater than 20℃. 基1 , t 基2 , t 基3 …t 基n-2 , t 基n-1 , t 基n These data are stored as elements in a baseline timetable, denoted as t. 表 ={t 基1 , t 基2 , t 基3 , ..., t 基i , t基i+1 , t 基1+2 , ..., t 基n-2 , t 基n-1 , t 基n} can also be represented as t 表 ={t 基i |1 <i<n}。

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, step S104 includes steps S201 to S203.

[0051] S201. Determine whether the temperature difference between the first indoor ambient temperature and the set start-up temperature exceeds a preset temperature threshold.

[0052] S202. If it is determined that the temperature difference exceeds the preset temperature threshold, the reference time is compared and queried according to the first indoor ambient temperature, the first outdoor ambient temperature and the set start-up temperature, and the first reference time found is set as the first preset start-up time.

[0053] S203. If it is determined that the temperature difference does not exceed the preset temperature threshold, then the minimum reference time is selected from the reference time schedule, and the minimum reference time is set as the first preset power-on time.

[0054] In this embodiment, the temperature difference between the first indoor ambient temperature and the set start-up temperature is first calculated, and then the relationship between this temperature difference and a preset temperature threshold is determined. If the temperature difference exceeds the preset temperature threshold, it indicates that the current indoor ambient temperature differs significantly from the set start-up temperature. Therefore, a reference time table is consulted, and the retrieved reference time is used as the first preset start-up time. If the temperature difference does not exceed the preset temperature threshold, it indicates that the current indoor ambient temperature is close to the set start-up temperature. In this case, the air conditioner only needs to run for a short time to bring the indoor ambient temperature to the set start-up temperature. Therefore, the minimum reference time is directly selected from the reference time table and used as the first preset start-up time. In practical applications, the preset temperature threshold can be 1°C, or 2°C, etc.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, step S104 further includes steps S301 to S306.

[0056] S301. Calculate the second time difference between the set power-on time and the first pre-set power-on time, and set the second time difference as the second detection time;

[0057] S302. Detect the indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures according to the second detection time to obtain the second indoor ambient temperature and the second outdoor ambient temperature;

[0058] S303. The reference time is compared and queried according to the second indoor ambient temperature, the second outdoor ambient temperature and the set power-on temperature, and the queried second reference time is set as the second preset power-on time.

[0059] S304. When the second pre-start time is less than or equal to the first pre-start time, control the air conditioner to start and run in low power mode according to the second pre-start time;

[0060] S305. When the second pre-power-on time is greater than the first pre-power-on time, determine whether the third time difference between the second pre-power-on time and the first pre-power-on time exceeds a preset time threshold.

[0061] S306. If it is determined that the third time difference does not exceed the preset time threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to start up and run in low power mode according to the first preset start time.

[0062] S307. If it is determined that the third time difference exceeds the preset time threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to start up and run in the maximum operating capacity mode according to the first preset start time.

[0063] In this embodiment, after obtaining the first preset start-up time, a second preset start-up time is further obtained based on the detected second indoor ambient temperature and second outdoor ambient temperature. Regarding the first and second preset start-up times, if the second preset start-up time is not greater than the first preset start-up time, the air conditioner is controlled to start operating according to the second preset start-up time. Conversely, if the second preset start-up time is greater than the first preset start-up time, the air conditioner is controlled to start operating according to the first preset start-up time. It should be noted that in this embodiment, whether the air conditioner is controlled according to the first or second preset start-up time, it means that the current time plus either the first or second preset start-up time equals the user-sent preset start-up time.

[0064] Furthermore, when controlling the air conditioner to start up according to the first preset start-up time, the system further determines the operating mode based on the time difference between the first and second preset start-up times. Specifically, if the time difference does not exceed a preset time threshold, the air conditioner operates in low-power mode; if the time difference exceeds the preset time threshold, it operates in maximum operating capacity mode. Here, the preset time threshold can be 5 minutes or other times. The low-power mode refers to the air conditioner operating at low power, taking a long time to reach the set temperature, during which time the air conditioner's power consumption is low. The maximum operating capacity mode refers to the air conditioner operating at high power, which shortens the time to reach the set start-up temperature, but the air conditioner's power consumption will increase accordingly.

[0065] In one embodiment, step S306 includes:

[0066] The air conditioner monitors the indoor ambient temperature in real time while it is running in low power mode, and stops the air conditioner when the indoor ambient temperature is equal to the set start-up temperature.

[0067] Step S307 includes:

[0068] The indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures are monitored in real time while the air conditioner is operating at its maximum capacity mode to obtain the third indoor ambient temperature and the third outdoor ambient temperature.

[0069] The reference time schedule is compared and queried based on the third indoor ambient temperature, the third outdoor ambient temperature and the set start-up temperature, and the queried third reference time is set as the third preset start-up time.

[0070] When the air conditioner reaches the third pre-start time, control the air conditioner to switch from the maximum operating capacity mode to the low power mode so that the air conditioner operates in the low power mode.

[0071] The system monitors the indoor ambient temperature in real time and shuts down the air conditioner when the indoor ambient temperature equals the set start-up time.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner starts up and runs in low-power mode according to the first preset start-up time, the indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures are monitored in real time, and the indoor ambient temperature is compared with the set start-up temperature in real time until the two are equal. That is, the indoor ambient temperature has reached the user's desired set start-up temperature under the adjustment of the air conditioner. At this point, the air conditioner can be controlled to stop to prevent changes in the indoor ambient temperature. Furthermore, before controlling the air conditioner to stop, the running time of the air conditioner in low-power mode is recorded for subsequent compensation steps.

[0073] When the air conditioner starts up at the first preset start time and operates in maximum capacity mode, the indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures are monitored in real time. Considering that the air conditioner operates in maximum capacity mode, its power consumption is high, resulting in high energy consumption. Therefore, the timing for switching to low-energy operation is monitored in real time to reduce power consumption. A baseline timetable is consulted based on the detected indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures to determine when the air conditioner can switch from maximum capacity mode to low-energy mode. This allows the air conditioner to operate in low-energy mode until it detects that the indoor ambient temperature equals the set start temperature, at which point the air conditioner is shut down. Furthermore, before shutting down the air conditioner, the operating time in maximum capacity mode and the operating time in low-energy mode are recorded for subsequent compensation steps.

[0074] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner start-up control method further includes steps S401 to S404.

[0075] S401. When the second pre-start time is greater than the first pre-start time, and the third time difference between the second pre-start time and the first pre-start time exceeds a preset time threshold, the first low-power mode running time of the air conditioner after startup is obtained.

[0076] S402. Calculate the fourth time difference between the third pre-power-on time and the low-power mode running time, and set the fourth time difference as the first compensation time. Then, update the third reference time according to the first compensation time.

[0077] S403. When the second pre-start time is greater than the first pre-start time or the second pre-start time is less than the first pre-start time, and the third time difference between the second pre-start time and the first pre-start time does not exceed a preset time threshold, the second low-power mode running time of the air conditioner after startup is obtained.

[0078] S404. Calculate the fifth time difference between the second pre-power-on time and the low-power mode running time, and set the fifth time difference as the second compensation time. Then, update the second reference time according to the second compensation time.

[0079] In this embodiment, considering the difference between the actual working environment and the test environment of the air conditioner, the reference time in the reference time table is compensated and corrected in combination with the operating parameters during the actual operation process, so as to further improve the accuracy of the pre-start time.

[0080] Specifically, when the second pre-start time is greater than the first pre-start time, and the difference between the second pre-start time and the first pre-start time is greater than a preset time threshold, the low-power operation time of the air conditioner is obtained. The difference between the low-power operation time and the third pre-start time is calculated, and the result is the compensation time for the third pre-start time. This compensation time can then be used to compensate and correct the base time corresponding to the third pre-start time. When the second pre-start time is less than the first pre-start time, or the second pre-start time is greater than the first pre-start time, and the difference between the second pre-start time and the first pre-start time is less than a preset time threshold, the low-power operation time of the air conditioner is obtained. The difference between the low-power operation time and the second pre-start time is calculated, and the result is the compensation time for the second pre-start time. This compensation time can then be used to compensate and correct the base time corresponding to the second pre-start time.
