The control method includes determining the target mode of the fresh air module, determining the target positions of the first baffle and the second baffle based on the target mode, controlling the first baffle and the second baffle to move to the corresponding target positions, so that the first cavity and the second cavity of the fresh air module can simultaneously introduce outdoor fresh air, or simultaneously exhaust indoor stale air, or the first cavity introduces outdoor fresh air and the second cavity exhausts indoor stale air; improving the control accuracy of the fresh air mode, expanding the application range of the fresh air air conditioner, and meeting the fresh air needs of different users; solving the problem of user discomfort caused by the mismatch between the fresh air mode and the actual needs of users.

[0064] <Control Methods>

[0065] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a fresh air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit includes an indoor unit body 6 and a fresh air module 5. The fresh air module 5 is disposed on one side of the indoor unit body 6 and includes a base 1. The base 1 includes a base body 11, and the base body 11 forms a base air duct 111 through which outdoor fresh air can flow. A first volute assembly 31 and a second volute assembly 32 are arranged side by side at the bottom of the base body 11. The first volute assembly 31 forms a first cavity 314, and the first cavity 314 forms an A1 vent, a B1 vent, and a C1 vent arranged at intervals. The A1 vent is located on the side of the first cavity 314 and is connected to... The first cavity 314 is connected to the outside. Fresh outdoor air can enter the first cavity 314 through vent A1, or stale indoor air in the first cavity 314 can be discharged through vent A1. Ventilation B1 is located at the top of the first cavity 314, connecting the interior to the first cavity 314, and stale indoor air can enter the first cavity 314 through vent B1. Ventilation C1 is located at the bottom of the first cavity 314, connecting the interior to the first cavity 314, and fresh outdoor air in the first cavity 314 can be discharged into the interior through vent C1. A first baffle is movably installed inside the first cavity 314, and the first baffle has different positions that allow one of vents B1 and C1 to be opened and the other to be closed.

[0066] The second volute assembly 32 forms a second cavity 324. The second cavity 324 has three vents, A2, B2, and C2, which are spaced apart. Vent A2 is located on the side of the second cavity 324 and connects to the outside of the second cavity 324. Fresh outdoor air can enter the second cavity 324 through vent A2, or stale indoor air in the second cavity 324 can be discharged through vent A2. Vent B2 is located at the top of the second cavity 324 and connects to the inside of the second cavity 324. Stale indoor air can enter the second cavity 324 through vent B2. The air enters the second cavity 324; the C2 vent is located at the bottom of the second cavity 324, and the C2 vent connects the indoor space with the second cavity 324. Outdoor fresh air from the second cavity 324 can be exhausted into the indoor space through the C2 vent; a second baffle is movably installed inside the second cavity 324, and the second baffle has different positions that allow one of the B2 vent and the C2 vent to be opened and the other to be closed; the fresh air module 5 has a first mode that only introduces outdoor fresh air, a second mode that only exhausts indoor stale air, and a third mode that simultaneously introduces outdoor fresh air and exhausts indoor stale air; such as Figure 1 As shown, the control methods include:

[0067] S1. Determine the target mode for fresh air module 5;

[0068] S2. Determine the target position of the first baffle and the target position of the second baffle according to the target pattern;

[0069] S3. Control the first baffle and the second baffle to move to their respective target positions;

[0070] S4. Control the operation of the fresh air module 5 to the target mode;

[0071] The target modes include the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode.

[0072] To address the mismatch between the operating mode of the fresh air module 5 and user needs, this embodiment proposes that S1 includes:

[0073] S11. Obtain indoor air turbidity and outdoor air temperature;

[0074] S12. Determine whether the indoor air turbidity and outdoor air temperature are within the corresponding preset ranges;

[0075] S13. Determine the target mode of fresh air module 5 based on the judgment results of whether the indoor air turbidity and outdoor air temperature are within the corresponding preset range.

[0076] Furthermore, S13 includes:

[0077] S131. When the indoor air turbidity is within the preset turbidity range and the outdoor air temperature is within the preset temperature range, the target mode is determined to be the first mode.

[0078] S132. When the indoor air turbidity is greater than the maximum threshold of the preset turbidity range and the outdoor air temperature is greater than the maximum threshold of the preset temperature range, the target mode is determined to be the second mode.

[0079] S133. When the indoor air turbidity is greater than the maximum threshold of the preset turbidity range and the outdoor air temperature is within the preset temperature range, the target mode is determined to be the third mode.

[0080] In this way, by selecting an appropriate mode based on the parameters of indoor and outdoor air, a large volume of fresh air can be introduced, stale air can be expelled, or indoor and outdoor air can be circulated; the impact of introduced outdoor air on indoor air can be reduced, indoor air quality can be improved, and indoor air comfort can be guaranteed.

[0081] To address the problem that the fresh air module 5 cannot accurately operate in the corresponding target mode due to unsuitable target positions of the first and second baffles, this embodiment proposes that the first baffle has positions a1 and b1. When the first baffle is in position a1, the first baffle opens the C1 vent and closes the B1 vent; when the first baffle is in position b1, the first baffle opens the B1 vent and closes the C1 vent. Specifically, the first cavity 314 has a cylindrical structure, and the first baffle has an arc-shaped structure. The first baffle is rotatably disposed within the first cavity 314, and the axis of rotation of the first baffle is the axis of the first cavity 314. The first baffle can rotate to either position a1 or position b1.

[0082] The second baffle has positions a2 and b2. When the second baffle is in position a2, it opens vent C2 and closes vent B2. When the second baffle is in position b2, it opens vent B2 and closes vent C2. Specifically, the second cavity 324 has a cylindrical structure, and the second baffle has an arc-shaped structure. The second baffle is rotatably disposed within the second cavity 324, and the axis of rotation of the second baffle is the axis of the second cavity 324. The second baffle can rotate to either position a2 or position b2.

[0083] S2 includes:

[0084] S21. When the target mode is the first mode, the target position of the first baffle is position a1, and the target position of the second baffle is position a2.

[0085] S22. When the target mode is the second mode, the target position of the first baffle is position b1, and the target position of the second baffle is position b2.

[0086] S23. When the target mode is the third mode, the target position of the first baffle is position a1, and the target position of the second baffle is position b2.

[0087] When the fresh air conditioner only needs to introduce outdoor fresh air, the first baffle opens the C1 vent and closes the B1 vent, and the second baffle opens the C2 vent and closes the B2 vent. A portion of the outdoor fresh air can enter the first cavity 314 through the A1 vent and be discharged into the room through the C1 vent; another portion of the outdoor fresh air can enter the second cavity 324 through the A2 vent and be discharged into the room through the C2 vent.

[0088] When the fresh air conditioner only needs to exhaust indoor stale air, the first baffle opens the B1 vent and closes the C1 vent, and the second baffle opens the B2 vent and closes the C2 vent. A portion of the indoor stale air can enter the first cavity 314 through the B1 vent and be exhausted to the outside through the A1 vent; another portion of the indoor stale air can enter the second cavity 324 through the B2 vent and be exhausted to the outside through the A2 vent.

[0089] When the fresh air conditioner needs to simultaneously introduce outdoor fresh air and exhaust indoor stale air, the first baffle opens the C1 vent and closes the B1 vent, and the second baffle opens the B2 vent and closes the C2 vent. Outdoor fresh air can enter the first cavity 314 through the A1 vent and be exhausted to the room through the C1 vent. Indoor stale air can enter the second cavity 324 through the B2 vent and be exhausted to the outside through the A2 vent.

[0090] In addition, ventilation openings A1 and A12 are arranged side by side, and ventilation openings B21 and B22 are arranged side by side; the base duct 111 connects the outside to ventilation opening A11; the fresh air module 5 also includes a first connecting pipe 181 and a second connecting pipe 182, the first connecting pipe 181 connects the outside to ventilation opening A12; the first baffle also has different positions that allow one of ventilation openings A11 and A12 to be open and the other to be closed; when ventilation opening A11 is open and ventilation opening A12 is closed, fresh outdoor air can enter the first cavity 314 through the base duct 111; when ventilation opening A11 is closed and ventilation opening A12 is open, fresh outdoor air can enter the first cavity 314 through the first connecting pipe 181.

[0091] A heat exchange component is installed inside the base air duct 111. The heat exchange component forms a first heat exchange channel 211 and a second heat exchange channel 212 arranged in an alternating manner. Both ends of the first heat exchange channel 211 are connected to the base air duct 111, and the outdoor fresh air flowing through the base air duct 111 can flow through the first heat exchange channel 211. The second heat exchange channel 212 connects the indoor space with the B21 vent, and the second connecting pipe 182 connects the indoor space with the B22 vent. The second baffle has different positions that allow one of the B21 vent and the B22 vent to be open and the other to be closed. When the B21 vent is open and the B22 vent is closed, the indoor stale air can enter the second cavity 324 through the second heat exchange channel 212. When the B21 vent is closed and the B22 vent is open, the indoor stale air can enter the second cavity 324 through the second connecting pipe 182. The first connecting pipe 181 is arranged side by side with the first heat exchange channel 211, and the second connecting pipe 182 is arranged side by side with the second heat exchange channel 212.

[0092] The third mode includes heat exchange mode and non-heat exchange mode; S13 also includes:

[0093] S134. Obtain the indoor air temperature and calculate the temperature difference between the indoor air temperature and the outdoor air temperature;

[0094] S135. Determine whether the temperature difference is within the preset temperature range;

[0095] S136. Determine the target mode of the fresh air module 5 based on the judgment result of whether the temperature difference is within the preset temperature range.

[0096] Furthermore, S136 includes:

[0097] When the temperature difference is not within the preset temperature range, the target mode is determined to be the heat exchange mode; the introduced outdoor air and the exhausted indoor air exchange heat, making full use of the energy of the exhausted indoor air and reducing the temperature difference between the introduced outdoor air and the indoor air.

[0098] When the temperature difference is within the preset temperature range, the target mode is determined to be the non-heat exchange mode; outdoor air is smoothly introduced into the room, and indoor air is smoothly exhausted to the outside, which improves the operating efficiency of the fresh air module 5.

[0099] Furthermore, the fresh air module 5 also includes a base plate 12, which is disposed on one side of the base body 11.
