[0046] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Meanwhile, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms “first”, “second”, and the like are only used for distinguishing description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Therefore, the features with “first” and “second” can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of “multiple” is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0047] The embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioner control method, device, air conditioner and storage medium.

[0048] Specifically, the embodiments will be described from the perspective of an air conditioner control device, which can be integrated in an air conditioner, that is, the air conditioner control method of the embodiments of the present application can be executed by an air conditioner.

[0049] The embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the embodiments, the execution subject is taken as an example of an air conditioner. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not limited as the preferred order of the embodiments. Although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown in the drawings.

[0050] According to the background description, the air conditioner has lower cooling capacity in a hotter environment and lower heating capacity in a colder environment. Therefore, it can be seen that the air conditioner is greatly affected by the external environment and has low temperature adjustment capacity.

[0051] In order to solve the above problems, the application discloses a control method of an air conditioner, please refer to Figure 1 The specific process of the control method of the air conditioner can be as follows: steps S10-S30.

[0052] Step S10: obtaining the operation parameters of the air conditioner.

[0053] In the embodiment, the execution subject of the control method of the air conditioner can be a control device of the air conditioner. The controlled air conditioner is improved in structure. The air conditioner comprises an outdoor unit, such as an outdoor unit, which is arranged outdoors. The operation of the outdoor unit is mainly affected by the external environment, for example, the solar radiation outdoors. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner has a shell, which comprises a first base layer, a second base layer, and a separation layer between the first base layer and the second base layer. The separation layer is an electrochromic layer. The first base layer, the second base layer, and the separation layer are stacked to form an integrated structure, which is used as the shell or attached to the surface of the shell. The first base layer in contact with the atmosphere is a transparent conductive layer, which allows the electrochromic layer to receive the irradiation of external light. The first base layer, the second base layer, and the electrochromic layer are all conductive materials. The electrochromic layer is a structure that can change the electromagnetic behavior of different frequency bands of light waves by controlling the voltage applied to it. The side plate, top plate, bottom plate, front plate, and / or rear plate of the shell of the air conditioner can be covered by a coating formed by the stacking of the first base layer, the second base layer, and the separation layer, or be composed of a plate material formed by the stacking of the first base layer, the second base layer, and the separation layer, so as to change the electromagnetic behavior of different frequency bands of light waves of the shell of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and achieve the effect of regulating the temperature environment inside the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0054] Optionally, after the first base layer, the second base layer, and the separation layer are stacked to form an integrated structure, they can be fixed to the surface of the original sheet metal shell by coating or thin film pasting, so as to ensure that the structure of the air conditioner box body will not be damaged due to system vibration, falling, etc. After the first base layer and the second base layer are electrified, the number of ion channels of the electrochromic layer increases, the base layer is also affected by the current, different numbers of ions pass through the ion channels and contact the electrochromic layer, reversible oxidation reaction occurs, different content of substances with special properties such as color are generated, the electromagnetic wave reaction of the electrochromic layer to different frequency bands of light waves is changed, the heat radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer is changed, and the electrochromic layer has different heat preservation effects.

[0055] Optionally, referring to Figure 4 The first base layer can be a transparent conductive layer, the second base layer can be composed of Ag (silver) and a solid electrolyte, and the separation layer can be an electrochromic layer. The electrochromic layer can be WO3 (tungsten trioxide). After electrification, Ag generates Ag+ (silver ion) injection into colorless WO3, generating blue Ag XWO3 (wherein, X is a constant), and the greater the voltage at both ends, the more ion channels of the electrochromic layer, the more Ag+ injected into colorless WO3, the greater the amount of blue AgXWO3 generated, the deeper the blue color, the smaller the solar light transmittance, the smaller the thermal radiation absorption coefficient of the solar light, and the less affected by the external thermal radiation on the side closer to the second base layer.

[0056] In the embodiment, the operating parameters of the air conditioner are obtained, which can be control parameters of the air conditioner operation or environmental parameters of the air conditioner, and the ideal environmental parameters required for the air conditioner operation can be determined according to the operating parameters of the air conditioner, and then the ion channels of the electrochromic layer of the shell of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner are controlled to adjust the thermal radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer, and the heat dissipation and heat absorption effects of the outdoor unit are adjusted.

[0057] Optionally, in the daily operation of the air conditioner, the heat radiation that can affect the operation of the air conditioner is mainly the solar heat radiation from the sunlight, and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is greatly affected by the solar heat radiation, so the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can include a shell, and the shell of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner includes a first base layer, a second base layer, and an electrochromic layer between the first base layer and the second base layer. In this way, the shell of the outdoor unit is mainly improved, thereby reducing the cost and improving the temperature control ability of the air conditioner.

[0058] In step S20, a target voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer is determined according to the operating parameters.

[0059] In the embodiment, a preset comparison table of operating parameters and voltages between the first base layer and the second base layer can be provided, and specific values of the voltages between the first base layer and the second base layer corresponding to different operating parameters can be preset to adjust the ion channels of the electrochromic layer to change the thermal radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer, thereby providing a more suitable internal environment for the operation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The preset comparison table is queried to determine the target voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer corresponding to the current operating parameters.

[0060] In step S30, the ion channels of the liquid crystal layer are adjusted according to the target voltage to adjust the thermal radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer.

[0061] In the embodiment, after the target voltage is determined, the first base layer and the second base layer are powered on according to the target voltage, the voltage applied to the electrochromic layer is changed, thereby adjusting the number of ion channels of the electrochromic layer, changing the electromagnetic wave reaction of the electrochromic layer to different light wave frequency bands, and achieving the effect of adjusting the thermal radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer, thereby reducing the influence of solar heat radiation on the internal environment temperature of the outdoor unit, or using solar heat radiation to improve the temperature of the internal environment of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. After the thermal radiation coefficient changes, the heat dissipation effect and the heat absorption effect of the electrochromic layer change, the influence of the external environment temperature on the internal environment of the air conditioner decreases, and the temperature environment in the air conditioner is more suitable for the operation of the air conditioner. The operation effect of the air conditioner can be improved, and the temperature adjusting capacity of the air conditioner can be improved.

[0062] In the technical solution disclosed in the embodiment, the operation parameters of the air conditioner are obtained, and the influence of the running environment or the external environment on the operation of the air conditioner can be determined according to the operation parameters, so as to determine the target voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer. The ion channels of the liquid crystal layer are adjusted according to the target voltage, the thermal radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer is adjusted, the heat dissipation effect or the heat absorption effect of the electrochromic layer and the outdoor unit shell is changed, so that the internal environment of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is more suitable for the running environment required by the operation parameters, thereby reducing the influence of the external environment on the internal environment of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, ensuring that the internal components of the outdoor unit can normally operate, and improving the temperature adjusting capacity of the air conditioner.

[0063] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 , based on any of the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner, the step S20 further comprises:

[0064] Step S21, determining the operation mode of the air conditioner according to the four-way valve on state in the operation parameters;

[0065] In the embodiment, the surface of the outdoor unit shell of the air conditioner has a first base layer, a second base layer, and a spacer layer between the first base layer and the second base layer, and the spacer layer is an electrochromic layer. Because the outdoor unit is easily affected by the outdoor environment, the influence of the outdoor environment on the operation of the air conditioner can be reduced by such a shell. The operation parameters include the on state of the four-way valve of the air conditioner. The operation mode of the air conditioner can be determined to be a cooling mode or a heating mode through the on state of the four-way valve of the air conditioner.

[0066] Optionally, referring to Figure 5 , the on state of the four-way valve is realized by the information exchanger and the start-stop state of the four-way valve coil, and information feedback from the electrical components is received, so as to obtain the on state of the four-way valve.

[0067] The working conditions of the outdoor unit are different in the cooling mode and the heating mode, the environment required is different, and the cooling mode and the heating mode can represent the user demand, the heat dissipation effect and the heat absorption effect of the air conditioner shell are adjusted according to the user demand, and the user experience can be improved.

[0068] In step S22, if the operation mode is the cooling mode, the target voltage is determined as the first voltage.

[0069] In step S23, if the operation mode is the heating mode, the target voltage is determined as the second voltage; wherein the first voltage is greater than the second voltage.

[0070] In this embodiment, if the operation mode is the cooling mode, the outdoor heat exchanger in the outdoor unit is used as a condenser, so that the outdoor heat exchanger needs to release heat to the outside during operation, and the cooling mode is generally operated in summer, resulting in high outdoor environment temperature, thereby causing the indoor environment temperature of the outdoor unit to rise, which limits the operation of the outdoor heat exchanger compressor, resulting in a decrease in the cooling effect. If the operation mode is the cooling mode, the target voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer needs to be determined as the first voltage. Adjusting the electrochromic layer with the first voltage can make the ion channel of the electrochromic layer reach the preset number required in the cooling mode, so as to adjust the heat radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer to the heat radiation coefficient required in the cooling mode, which generally needs to greatly increase the solar heat radiation reflectivity in the 0.3-2.5 μm spectral range, increase the heat radiation emission rate in the 8-13 μm (main atmospheric window) and 16-25 μm (secondary atmospheric window) spectral range, and at the same time, inhibit the absorption rate of atmospheric long-wave radiation.

[0071] If the operation mode is the heating mode, the outdoor heat exchanger in the outdoor unit is used as an evaporator, so that the outdoor heat exchanger needs to absorb heat to the outside during operation, and the heating mode is generally operated in summer, resulting in a decrease in the outdoor environment temperature, thereby causing the indoor environment temperature of the outdoor unit to be low, which causes the outdoor heat exchanger to frost, forcing the throttling pressure drop to increase, the effective refrigerant flow to decrease, and the heating effect to decrease. If the operation mode is the heating mode, the target voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer needs to be determined as the second voltage. Adjusting the electrochromic layer with the second voltage can make the ion channel of the electrochromic layer reach the preset number required in the heating mode, so as to adjust the heat radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer to the heat radiation coefficient required in the heating mode, which generally needs to greatly increase the solar heat radiation reflectivity in the 0.3-2.5 μm spectral range, increase the heat radiation emission rate in the 8-13 μm (main atmospheric window) and 16-25 μm (secondary atmospheric window) spectral range, and at the same time, inhibit the absorption rate of atmospheric long-wave radiation.

[0072] The first voltage corresponding to the cooling mode is greater than the second voltage corresponding to the heating mode, so that the number of ion channels of the electrochromic layer corresponding to the cooling mode is greater than the number of ion channels of the electrochromic layer corresponding to the heating mode, and the shell color corresponding to the cooling mode is deeper than the shell color corresponding to the heating mode. In this way, the absorption coefficient of the shell of the outdoor unit to outdoor solar thermal radiation in the cooling mode is higher than that in the heating mode, so that the solar thermal radiation transmittance in the heating mode is higher than that in the cooling mode. In the heating mode, solar thermal radiation can be used to increase the temperature inside the air conditioner, effectively prevent the outdoor heat exchanger from frosting, reduce the throttling pressure drop, effectively prevent the refrigerant flow from decreasing, and improve the heating capacity of the air conditioner. In the cooling mode, solar radiation can be isolated to reduce the temperature inside the air conditioner, reduce the exhaust temperature of the compressor and the temperature of other devices, and improve the cooling capacity of the air conditioner.

[0073] Further, step S23 further comprises:

[0074] If the operating mode is the heating mode, the light intensity of the outdoor environment is obtained.

[0075] If the light intensity is greater than the preset light intensity, the target voltage is determined as the second voltage. In this embodiment, after determining that the operating mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode according to the connection state of the four-way valve of the air conditioner, since the shell of the air conditioner needs to directly absorb heat from solar thermal radiation in the heating mode, and the solar thermal radiation is related to the light intensity of the outdoor environment, the light intensity of the outdoor environment needs to be determined. After adjusting the ion channels of the electrochromic layer of the air conditioner shell, whether it can effectively absorb heat from solar thermal radiation. If the operating mode is the heating mode, the light intensity of the outdoor environment is obtained. If the light intensity is greater than the preset light intensity, it indicates that the electrochromic layer of the air conditioner shell can effectively absorb heat from solar thermal radiation after adjusting the ion channels, thereby avoiding wasting resources to adjust the ion channels of the electrochromic layer when the outdoor environment is cloudy, and effectively improving the heating effect of the air conditioner.

[0076] Further, step S22 further comprises:

[0077] If the operating mode is the cooling mode, the temperature of the outdoor environment is obtained.

[0078] If the outdoor environment temperature is lower than the preset environment temperature, the target voltage is determined as the first voltage.

[0079] In the embodiment, after determining that the operation mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode according to the connection state of the four-way valve of the air conditioner, since in the cooling mode, the shell of the air conditioner does not need to directly absorb heat from the solar radiation, but needs to isolate the heat of the solar radiation to avoid further increasing the indoor temperature, if the outdoor environment temperature is not too high, it is not necessary to isolate the heat of the solar radiation, which needs to be determined according to the outdoor environment temperature, whether it is necessary to isolate the heat released by the solar radiation after adjusting the ion channel of the electrochromic layer of the shell of the air conditioner. If the operation mode is the cooling mode, the outdoor environment temperature is obtained, and if the outdoor environment temperature is lower than the preset environment temperature, it is not necessary to isolate the heat released by the solar radiation after adjusting the ion channel of the electrochromic layer of the shell of the air conditioner, so as to avoid wasting resources to adjust the ion channel of the electrochromic layer when the outdoor environment temperature is low, and the cooling effect of the air conditioner cannot be effectively improved.

[0080] Optionally, referring to Figure 3 , based on any of the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner of the application, the step S20 further comprises:

[0081] Step S24, obtaining the internal temperature of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner from the operation parameters;

[0082] In the embodiment, the obtained operation parameters of the air conditioner include real-time environment parameters collected by the detection device, including the internal temperature of the air conditioner and the like. The internal temperature refers to the temperature in the space enclosed by the shell of the air conditioner, and the space enclosed by the shell of the air conditioner also has a compressor and other electrical components. The internal temperature of the outdoor unit affects the operation effect of the compressor, the outdoor heat exchanger and other electrical components in the outdoor unit. The internal temperature of the air conditioner is the main factor affecting the temperature adjustment capacity of the air conditioner, and is also an external factor.

[0083] The air conditioner comprises a shell composed of a first base layer, a second base layer and an electrochromic layer between the first base layer and the second base layer. The shell can be installed on the shell of the air conditioner. The heat radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer can be adjusted by adjusting the ion channel of the electrochromic layer, so as to change the internal temperature of the air conditioner in the shell. Therefore, the internal temperature of the outdoor unit can be obtained from the operation parameters, and used as a basis for adjusting the heat radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer in the shell of the outdoor unit.

[0084] Optionally, since the solar radiation can affect the operation of the air conditioner during the daily operation of the air conditioner, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is greatly affected by the solar radiation. Therefore, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can comprise a shell, and the shell of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can comprise a first base layer, a second base layer and a separation layer composed of an electrochromic layer between the first base layer and the second base layer. The obtained internal temperature of the air conditioner includes the internal temperature of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0085] Step S25, query the preset corresponding relationship between the internal temperature and the voltage, determine the target voltage corresponding to the internal temperature.

[0086] In this embodiment, when the target voltage corresponding to the internal temperature of the outdoor unit is determined according to the internal temperature of the outdoor unit, the preset corresponding relationship between the internal temperature and the voltage can be queried to determine the voltage corresponding to the current obtained internal temperature of the outdoor unit in the corresponding relationship as the target voltage. The corresponding relationship is the voltage that can make the electrochromic layer in the air conditioner shell reach the adaptive thermal radiation coefficient, which is set in advance for each internal temperature of the outdoor unit.

[0087] If the internal temperature is low, the air conditioning throttling pressure demand increases, and the effective refrigerant flow decreases, so that the voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer is the target voltage. Based on the target voltage, the electrochromic layer is energized through the first base layer and the second base layer, and the ion channel of the electrochromic layer is adjusted to the target thermal radiation coefficient that can adjust the thermal radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer to provide appropriate heat preservation and heating effect. Therefore, when the internal temperature of the outdoor unit is low, the internal temperature of the outdoor unit can be increased by the electrochromic layer of the air conditioner outdoor unit shell, thereby reducing the throttling pressure demand, increasing the proportion of effective refrigerant flow, and improving the temperature regulation effect of the air conditioner.

[0088] If the internal temperature is high, the temperature of the compressor, the exhaust temperature and other electrical components will also increase, which is easy to trigger the protection mechanism of the air conditioner for high temperature operation. Based on the target voltage corresponding to the internal temperature between the first base layer and the second base layer, the electrochromic layer is energized through the first base layer and the second base layer based on the target voltage, and the ion channel of the electrochromic layer is adjusted to the target thermal radiation coefficient that can adjust the thermal radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer to provide appropriate cooling and heat insulation effect. Therefore, when the internal temperature of the outdoor unit is high, the internal temperature of the outdoor unit can be reduced by the electrochromic layer of the air conditioner outdoor unit shell, or the speed of triggering the high temperature protection mechanism of the air conditioner is delayed, thereby improving the temperature regulation effect of the air conditioner.

[0089] In the technical scheme disclosed in this embodiment, the internal temperature of the outdoor unit is obtained from the operating parameters; the preset corresponding relationship between the internal temperature and the voltage is queried to determine the target voltage corresponding to the internal temperature. In this way, the air conditioner shell is regulated by the internal temperature of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0090] Further, step S20 can further include:

[0091] The operating temperature of each target component in the air conditioner is determined from the operating parameters;

[0092] According to the preset corresponding relationship corresponding to the operating temperature and the target component, a target voltage between a first base layer and a second base layer adjacent to a space region corresponding to the target component is determined.

[0093] In the embodiment, the shell of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can further include multiple layers of the barrier layer located in different regions, each of which is an electrochromic layer, and the adjacent layers of the electrochromic layer are composed of the first base layer and the second base layer, and the voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer adjacent to each barrier layer can be independently controlled. Since the voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer adjacent to different barrier layers can be independently controlled, the voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer adjacent to different barrier layers can be adaptively controlled based on different operating parameters, so that the thermal radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer of different barrier layers is different, and the heat preservation effect or the heat insulation effect in the space region corresponding to the barrier layer is different.

[0094] The obtained operating parameters of the air conditioner include the operating temperature corresponding to each target component in the air conditioner. The air conditioner, especially the outdoor unit, includes multiple components located in different positions. Since the positions are different, these components can be located in the space region corresponding to different barrier layers and are affected by the heat preservation effect or the heat insulation effect of different barrier layers. Therefore, the heat preservation effect or the heat insulation effect required by the region can be determined based on the operating temperature of the component to control the barrier layer corresponding to the component. First, the target component that can be used to adjust the barrier layer is determined, the space region corresponding to the barrier layer that can produce the heat preservation effect or the heat insulation effect is obtained, and according to the degree value of the influence of temperature on each component in the space region, if the degree value is greater than a preset threshold value, it is indicated that the operating effect of the component is easily affected by temperature, and the component can be used as the target component. The target component and the barrier layer corresponding to the target component can be saved as preset information on the air conditioner or the rear-end platform corresponding to the air conditioner. The operating temperature of the target component can be determined by a temperature sensor for measuring the operating temperature of the target component or a thermal sensing image in the air conditioner.

[0095] Since different components have different requirements for operating temperature, for example, the operating temperature required by the compressor is relatively low, and the operating temperature of the heat exchanger in the refrigeration mode needs to be relatively high. Therefore, for each target component, a preset corresponding relationship between the operating temperature and the voltage is set. After the operating temperature of each target component is determined, it can be judged whether the operating temperature of each target component meets the condition for normal operation of the target component, that is, whether it exceeds or is lower than the operating temperature threshold of the target component. If it is satisfied, the preset corresponding relationship corresponding to the target component can be obtained, the preset corresponding relationship is queried, the voltage corresponding to the current operating temperature of the target component is determined, the voltage is taken as the target voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer adjacent to the corresponding layer of the target component, and the ion channel of the corresponding layer of each target component is adjusted according to the target voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer adjacent to the corresponding layer of each target component, so as to adjust the thermal radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer, thereby adjusting the heat preservation and insulation effect of the layer, thereby adjusting the temperature of the space region corresponding to the layer, that is, the environment corresponding to the target component, so that the target component can operate normally, and the temperature adjusting capacity of the air conditioner is improved. And the target layer corresponding to the target component is adjusted according to the operating temperature of the different target components, so as to avoid excessive adjustment of some layers, thereby reducing the power consumption, and the power consumption protection limit of the air conditioner is less likely to be triggered, thereby improving the temperature adjusting capacity of the air conditioner.

[0096] Further, the target voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer is determined according to the operating parameter, comprising:

[0097] The running period of the air conditioner is obtained.

[0098] The sunshine table of the region where the air conditioner is located is queried to determine the target layer on the shell that is directly irradiated by sunlight in the running period.

[0099] The target voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer adjacent to the target layer is determined according to the operating parameter.

[0100] In the embodiment, the shell of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can further include multiple partitions located in different regions, each of which is an electrochromic layer, and the electrochromic layer is adjacent to a first base layer and a second base layer, and the voltage between the adjacent first base layer and the second base layer of each partition can be independently controlled. The shell of the air conditioner is generally a cuboid shape, including a side plate, a top plate, a bottom plate, a front plate and a rear plate, which causes that when one side of the shell is directly irradiated by the sun, the other side of the shell is difficult to be directly irradiated by the sun, so that the other side of the shell is in a shadow area and is less affected by the solar radiation, thereby the ion channel of the partition on the other side of the shell does not need to be adjusted. The running period of the air conditioner is obtained, and the sunshine table of the region where the air conditioner is located is queried to determine the relative direction between the sun and the region where the air conditioner is located in the running period, so as to determine the target partition on the shell of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner which is directly irradiated by sunlight. Alternatively, the relative position between the air conditioner and the nearby building can also be obtained from the three-dimensional map, and the target partition on the shell of the air conditioner which is directly irradiated by sunlight in the running period is determined according to the relative direction between the sun and the region where the air conditioner is located and the relative installation position between the outdoor unit and the nearby building, and the target voltage between the adjacent first base layer and the second base layer of the target partition is adjusted according to the running parameter.

[0101] In the technical solution disclosed in the embodiment, the running period of the air conditioner is obtained, the sunshine table of the region where the air conditioner is located is queried to determine the target partition on the shell which is directly irradiated by sunlight in the running period, and the target voltage between the adjacent first base layer and the second base layer of the target partition is determined according to the running parameter. In this way, when the shell surface of the air conditioner shell includes multiple partitions located in different regions, the electrochromic layer in the target partition on the shell which is directly irradiated by sunlight in the running period can be adjusted, so that the partition which will be affected by the solar radiation is adjusted, the power consumption of adjusting the electrochromic layer is reduced, and the power consumption protection limit of the air conditioner is less likely to be triggered, thereby improving the temperature adjustment capability of the air conditioner.

[0102] The embodiment further provides a control device of an air conditioner, which can be integrated in the air conditioner. For example, as shown in Figure 6 The control device of the air conditioner can include:

[0106] Optionally, the determination module 1002 is further configured to:

[0107] determine the operation mode of the air conditioner according to the state of the four-way valve in the operation parameter;

[0108] if the operation mode is the cooling mode, determine the target voltage as a first voltage;

[0109] if the operation mode is the heating mode, determine the target voltage as a second voltage;

[0110] wherein the first voltage is greater than the second voltage.

[0111] Optionally, the determination module 1002 is further configured to:

[0112] if the operation mode is the heating mode, obtain the illumination intensity of the outdoor environment;

[0114] Optionally, the determination module 1002 is further configured to:

[0115] if the operation mode is the cooling mode, obtain the temperature of the outdoor environment;

[0116] if the temperature of the outdoor environment is lower than a preset environment temperature, execute the determination of the target voltage as the second voltage.

[0117] Optionally, the determination module 1002 is further configured to:

[0118] obtain the internal temperature of the air conditioner from the operation parameter;

[0120] Optionally, the determination module 1002 is further configured to:

[0121] determine the operation temperature of each target component in the air conditioner from the operation parameter;

[0122] determine the target voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer adjacent to the corresponding partition layer of the space region where the target component is located according to the operation temperature and a preset corresponding relationship corresponding to the target component.

[0126] determining a target voltage between a first base layer and a second base layer adjacent to the target layer according to the running parameter.

[0127] In this embodiment, the running parameter of the air conditioner is obtained, and the influence of the running environment or external environment on the air conditioner running can be determined according to the running parameter, so as to determine the target voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer, and adjust the ion channel of the liquid crystal layer according to the target voltage, so as to adjust the heat radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer, change the heat dissipation effect or heat absorption effect of the electrochromic layer, so that the internal environment of the air conditioner is more suitable for the running environment required by the running parameter, thereby reducing the influence of the external environment on the internal environment of the air conditioner, ensuring that the internal devices of the air conditioner can normally run, and improving the temperature adjustment capacity of the air conditioner.

[0128] This embodiment also provides an air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit. For example, as shown in Figure 5 , the outdoor unit of the air conditioner has a shell, the shell includes a first base layer, a second base layer, and a layer between the first base layer and the second base layer, the layer is an electrochromic layer, the first base layer, the second base layer, and the layer are stacked to form an integrated body, the shell can be mainly composed of a plate material stacked in this way, or a film stacked in this way can cover the surface of the shell. The shell can include multiple such layers, each layer has a first base layer adjacent to the atmosphere and a second base layer adjacent to the interior of the outdoor unit, the layer, the first base layer, and the second base layer are stacked, see Figure 4 . The voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer adjacent to each layer can be independently controlled, the voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer is different, which causes the number of ion channels of the electrochromic layer (the layer) to change according to the change of the voltage between the first base layer and the second base layer, so that the composition of the electrochromic layer changes, and the heat radiation coefficient of the electrochromic layer (the layer) changes.
