[0060] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the internal control circuit of an air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0061] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0062] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an energy-saving control method for an air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this method is applicable to air conditioners and includes:

[0063] Step S11: In the target room where the target air conditioner is located, obtain the directional temperature of each direction in the target room and the directional data of the human body in the target room.

[0064] Step S12: Based on the directional temperature of each direction and the human body orientation data, control and adjust the angle of the air guide plate of the target air conditioner.

[0065] In this embodiment, the executing entity can be an air conditioner or a controller connected to the air conditioner; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0066] Current air conditioners typically achieve energy-saving control by altering their configuration and performance parameters. However, this method, while saving energy, reduces cooling and heating capacity. To address this, this application proposes an energy-saving control method for air conditioners that monitors the temperature and position of people in various parts of the room, selects the optimal airflow angle, and adjusts the air conditioner's air guide vanes for optimal airflow. This physical adjustment achieves energy savings and improves cooling and heating efficiency. Furthermore, it prevents direct blasts of cold or hot air.

[0067] Specifically, during seasons requiring cooling and heating, the temperature difference between different locations within a room can be significant. In particular, walls near doors and windows exchange heat with the outside; when an air conditioner blows directly onto these areas, some of the cooling and heating is canceled out. This results in wasted energy and slow temperature increases or decreases, leading to a perceived inadequacy of the air conditioner's cooling or heating capabilities and increased electricity consumption. To address this, the air conditioner proposed in this application preferably incorporates a temperature sensor and an infrared detector to acquire the location temperature of different locations within the target room, as well as the location data of human figures within the room. Alternatively, this application can also utilize a conventional air conditioner to establish a communication connection with an external temperature sensor and infrared detector to acquire the location temperature data collected by the external temperature sensor and the location data of human figures within the target room collected by the external infrared detector. Furthermore, the energy-saving control method for air conditioning proposed in this application can select the optimal air blowing angle based on the monitored indoor temperature parameters (the directional temperature of each direction in the target room) and the perceived human body position. Through physical adjustment, it can achieve energy saving while also improving cooling and heating efficiency, preventing cold and hot air from blowing directly.

[0068] The target room where the target air conditioner is located can be pre-divided into multiple directions, and the temperature in different directions will vary.

[0069] The human body location data is used to describe the location of the human body in the target room. This embodiment does not limit the specific number of human bodies in the target room.

[0070] Specifically, the executing entity can determine the temperature at each location within the target room where the target air conditioner is located. It also detects the presence of human beings within the target room; if present, it obtains the location of each person, thus acquiring human location data. Subsequently, the executing entity can adjust the angle of the air deflector of the target air conditioner to the optimal location based on the location temperature and human location data. For example, in cooling mode, the optimal location is the location with the lowest temperature; in heating mode, the optimal location is the location with the highest temperature. Preferably, it can further consider preventing direct cold air and direct hot air. In this case, in cooling mode, the optimal location is the non-direct airflow location with the lowest temperature; in heating mode, the optimal location is the non-direct airflow location with the highest temperature. By controlling and adjusting the angle of the air deflector of the target air conditioner, the air conditioner can direct (blow) air towards the aforementioned optimal location.

[0071] As an optional implementation, based on the azimuth temperature at each location and the human body orientation data, the angle of the air guide plate of the target air conditioner is controlled and adjusted, including:

[0072] Obtain the current air guide plate angle of the target air conditioner;

[0073] Determine the current airflow direction corresponding to the current air guide plate angle;

[0074] Determine whether the current airflow direction and the human body's position data match;

[0075] If a match is found, the target air guide angle is determined based on the azimuth temperature of each of the aforementioned directions.

[0076] The control adjusts the angle of the air guide plate of the target air conditioner from the current air guide plate angle to the target air guide plate angle.

[0077] In this embodiment, after the target air conditioner is turned on, the angle of the air guide vane of the target air conditioner can be adjusted to the initial angle according to a preset control mode. The preset control mode can select the initial angle based on the directional temperature of each location. For example, in cooling mode, the angle corresponding to the location of the coldest directional temperature is determined as the initial angle. In heating mode, the angle corresponding to the location of the hottest directional temperature is determined as the initial angle. Next, the human body location data is further checked to see if a human body is present. If a human body is present, the human body location data is further analyzed to obtain the human body's location within the room. It can be understood that multiple human bodies can be identified, resulting in multiple human body locations. Then, it is determined whether the current airflow direction at the initial angle matches the human body location data. If they match, it means that the current airflow direction is the location of the human body currently inside the room. Finally, the target air guide vane angle is re-determined based on the directional temperature of each location. The target air guide vane angle is the angle at which airflow is controlled to avoid the human body's location. It also controls the adjustment of the air guide vane angle of the target air conditioner from the current air guide vane angle to the target air guide vane angle.

[0078] As an optional implementation, determining the target air guide angle based on the azimuth temperature at each of the aforementioned locations includes:

[0079] If the target air conditioner is in cooling mode, then select the target location that does not match the human body location data according to the order of directional temperature from low to high, and determine the angle corresponding to the target location as the target air guide plate angle.

[0080] If the target air conditioner is in heating mode, then select the target location that does not match the human body location data according to the order of temperature from high to low, and determine the angle corresponding to the target location as the target air guide plate angle.

[0081] In this embodiment, when the target air guide angle is redefined, if the target air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, the first target location that does not match the human body's orientation data can be selected in ascending order of azimuth temperature. Since the target location does not match the human body's orientation data, this means the target location is not directly exposed to the air conditioner, effectively preventing direct exposure to cold air. If the target air conditioner is operating in heating mode, the first target location that does not match the human body's orientation data can be selected in descending order of azimuth temperature. Again, since the target location does not match the human body's orientation data, this means the target location is not directly exposed to the air conditioner, effectively preventing direct exposure to hot air.

[0082] As an optional implementation, before controlling and adjusting the angle of the air guide vane of the target air conditioner based on the azimuth temperature of each location and the human body orientation data, the method further includes:

[0083] Obtain the operating mode of the target air conditioner;

[0084] If the operating mode is cooling mode, then the initial direction with the lowest temperature is determined from the various directions.

[0085] If the operating mode is heating mode, then the initial direction with the highest temperature is determined from the various directions.

[0086] The angle of the air guide plate of the target air conditioner is adjusted to the angle corresponding to the initial orientation.

[0087] In this embodiment, preferably, after the target air conditioner is turned on, a temperature sensor is used to detect the directional temperature of various locations in the room in real time. Then, the operating mode of the target air conditioner is determined. If the target air conditioner is in cooling mode, the initial location with the lowest temperature is determined from all directions. If the target air conditioner is in heating mode, the initial location with the highest temperature is determined from all directions. The angle of the air deflector of the target air conditioner is then adjusted to the angle corresponding to the initial location to blow air towards that initial location. Next, an infrared detector can be used to sense the location of a person, obtaining the person's location data. The matching relationship between the person's location data and the initial location is then determined. If the person's location data matches the initial location, it is determined that the target air conditioner is blowing directly on the person, and the angle of the air deflector of the target air conditioner is adjusted to the second-optimal temperature location. If the person's location data does not match the initial location, it is determined that the target air conditioner is not blowing directly on the person, and the air continues to blow air according to the initial location. The determination of the suboptimal temperature orientation is the same as the method described above for redetermining the angle of the target air guide plate, which will not be elaborated here.

[0088] As an optional implementation, acquiring the azimuth temperature of various locations within the target room and the human body location data within the target room includes:

[0089] The azimuth temperature of each location within the target room is obtained using a temperature sensor; and

[0090] The location data of the human body in the target room are obtained by using an infrared detector.

[0091] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor and infrared detector can be external devices that are connected to the air conditioner, or they can be internal devices integrated with the air conditioner.

[0092] As an optional implementation, the temperature sensor is located at the air inlet of the target air conditioner, and the infrared detector is placed on the air conditioner display panel of the target air conditioner.

[0093] As an optional implementation, the various orientations of the target interior include at least one of the following: corner orientation, roof corner orientation, wall orientation, and window orientation.

[0094] In this embodiment, the target air conditioner is equipped with a temperature sensor that can detect the directional temperature of various locations indoors, such as the temperature near windows and walls. Because these locations exchange a significant amount of heat with the outside, their temperatures are higher in summer than in other indoor locations and lower in winter. During the cooling season, if the target air conditioner blows directly on these locations, the walls and windows will absorb most of the cooling capacity, resulting in a less significant temperature drop and energy waste. To address this, the energy-saving control method of the air conditioner in this application adjusts the angle of the air guide vane to find the location with the lowest indoor temperature and controls the air conditioner to blow directly on this location. This maximizes the air conditioner's cooling capacity while minimizing energy consumption at the same indoor temperature, achieving energy savings. The same principle applies during the heating season. The temperature difference between different locations indoors is significant, for example, the temperature is lower near windows and walls. If the air conditioner blows directly on these locations, the walls and windows will absorb most of the heat, resulting in a less significant temperature rise and energy waste. When heating, the energy-saving control method of the air conditioner described in this application can adjust the angle of the air guide vane of the target air conditioner to blow towards the area with higher indoor temperature, resulting in a significant temperature increase. The heating capacity will not be excessively offset.

[0095] In addition to considering the cooling and heating effects and energy saving of air conditioning, the comfort of air conditioning can also be taken into account, avoiding direct exposure of cold or hot air to the human body. Therefore, the target air conditioner can be equipped with an infrared detector to sense the location of human bodies. When the air conditioner's air deflector is blowing directly in the optimal direction detected by the temperature sensor, and the infrared detector detects that there is no human body obstructing this direction, the air conditioner's air deflector will continue to operate in this direction. If the air conditioner is cooling, and the infrared detector detects a human body obstructing the direction with the lowest indoor temperature, the air conditioner's air deflector will adjust to the second lowest temperature direction. Similarly, when heating, if a human body obstructs the direction with the highest indoor temperature, the air conditioner's air deflector will adjust to the second highest temperature direction. If there is still a human body obstructing the direction, the infrared detector will continue to sense the third, fourth, and so on, until there is no human body obstructing the direction, at which point the air conditioner's air deflector will be adjusted to the corresponding angle. Optionally, the executing entity can pre-set various directions for the target room and number each direction according to its location temperature. During the adjustment of the air guide vane angle, the directional temperature can be traversed from low to high or from high to low by iterating through the directional numbers until a directional temperature that will not be blocked by a person is determined. Based on this, the air guide vane angle can be further adjusted to achieve a balance between air conditioning cooling and heating effects, energy saving, and comfort.

[0096] By using location temperature and human body location data, the optimal airflow angle can be selected. Energy saving can be achieved through physical adjustment without changing the configuration and performance parameters of the air conditioner, thus solving the problem of poor energy-saving control effect of existing air conditioners.
