Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioning control method, device, air conditioner, and medium based on population density. Background Technology

[0002] In semi-enclosed spaces such as train and bus stations, energy exchange occurs between the semi-enclosed space and the outside world, affecting its temperature. Controlling the temperature in these spaces typically employs the same methods used for fully enclosed spaces, leading to poor temperature control and highlighting the need for energy conservation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the technical problem that when using air conditioner control methods for fully enclosed spaces to control the temperature in semi-enclosed spaces, the air conditioning temperature control effect in semi-enclosed spaces is poor, and energy-saving requirements are also present.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an air conditioner control method based on crowd density. The air conditioner includes a first air outlet and multiple second air outlets. The first air outlet is located near an entrance / exit, and the multiple second air outlets are located on the side of the first air outlet away from the entrance / exit. The air conditioner control method includes: dividing a semi-enclosed space into multiple spatial intervals; acquiring the ambient temperature in each spatial interval in real time to obtain multiple spatial temperature results; monitoring the crowd density in the multiple spatial intervals in real time; and controlling the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on the spatial temperature results and the crowd density. The operating parameters include the air outlet temperature, the first air outlet direction, and the second air outlet direction; the first air outlet direction is the direction of the first air outlet, and the second air outlet direction is the direction of the second air outlet.

[0005] Compared to existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: In semi-enclosed spaces such as train stations and bus stations, energy exchange occurs between these spaces and the outside environment, affecting their temperature. Furthermore, the air conditioner's temperature control performance varies with distance from the entrance / exit of the semi-enclosed space. Dividing the semi-enclosed space into multiple zones and acquiring the ambient temperature in each zone in real time provides multiple temperature results, enabling more accurate detection of the ambient temperature within each zone and further demonstrating the air conditioner's temperature control effectiveness within the semi-enclosed space. Within a semi-enclosed space, crowd density significantly impacts the perceived temperature. Under the same operating parameters, a high crowd density results in a relatively poor temperature regulation capability relative to the user, while a low crowd density results in a better temperature regulation capability. Therefore, by monitoring the crowd density within a zone, the air conditioner's temperature regulation capability can be predicted. Based on the ambient temperature and crowd density, the air conditioner's operating parameters can be controlled to adjust the outlet air temperature, the direction of the first and second air outlets, thereby improving the air conditioner's temperature control performance.

[0006] In one embodiment of the present invention, a semi-enclosed space is divided into multiple spatial intervals, and the ambient temperature of the space in each spatial interval is acquired in real time to obtain multiple spatial temperature results. This includes: setting multiple temperature detection points along the length of the semi-enclosed space, with adjacent temperature detection points forming spatial intervals; acquiring the temperature of the temperature detection points; and calculating multiple spatial temperature results based on the temperatures of two adjacent temperature detection points.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the technical advantages of this solution are as follows: Multiple temperature sensors are evenly arranged along the length of the air conditioner. These sensors can individually detect the temperature value of the air conditioner along that length. A length interval is formed between two adjacent temperature sensors, and a length interval is also formed between the temperature sensors located at the entrance / exit of the semi-enclosed space and the temperature sensor closest to the entrance / exit of the semi-enclosed space. The multiple temperature detection points avoid detection errors caused by excessive distance, thus improving the stability of the air conditioner's temperature detection.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the temperature of a temperature detection point is obtained, and multiple spatial temperature results are calculated based on the temperatures of two adjacent temperature detection points, including: comparing the temperatures of adjacent temperature detection points to obtain a first temperature difference; when the first temperature difference is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold, the spatial temperature result is the larger value of the temperatures of the adjacent temperature detection points; and / or when the first temperature difference is less than the first temperature threshold, the spatial temperature result is the average value of the temperatures of the adjacent temperature detection points.

[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effect achieved by this solution is as follows: The spatial temperature within a region is determined based on different first temperature differences. When the air conditioner is operating, the air outlet temperature varies at different locations. Therefore, when determining the spatial temperature, it is necessary to judge the temperature difference between adjacent temperature detection points. In the length direction, the greater the distance between them, the less the temperature is affected by other length intervals. If the temperature difference is large, it indicates that the temperatures of the two temperature detection points on the air conditioner are affected by adjacent length intervals. If the temperature difference is small, it indicates that the highest temperature in that length interval can be calculated using the temperatures of adjacent temperature detection points. Therefore, by setting a first temperature threshold, the temperature of that length interval is initially determined, and the spatial temperature result is obtained.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, controlling the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on the spatial temperature result and the crowd density includes: determining whether the cooling capacity needs to be adjusted based on the spatial temperature result and the crowd density; if so, comparing the spatial temperature result with a second temperature threshold to obtain a first comparison result, and adjusting the outlet air temperature based on the first comparison result; comparing the crowd density with a first density threshold to obtain a second comparison result, and adjusting the first outlet air direction and the second outlet air direction based on the second comparison result; and / or if not, the air conditioner continues to operate at the current cooling capacity.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: The spatial temperature is compared with a second temperature threshold. If, under the current operating parameters, the temperature within the spatial range will continue to rise, the air conditioner needs to be controlled to cool the designated area to prevent excessive heat; further reduction of the outlet air temperature is required. The crowd density is compared with a first density threshold. If the crowd density is greater than the first density threshold, it is determined that the temperature within the spatial range will continue to rise. Therefore, the first and second outlet air directions are adjusted so that the airflow from the outlets is directed towards the space area where the temperature is rising, thereby cooling the designated area.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, determining whether the cooling capacity needs to be adjusted based on the spatial temperature result and the crowd density includes: determining whether the air conditioner meets a first adjustment condition based on the spatial temperature result and the crowd density; if the first adjustment condition is met, determining that the air conditioner needs to adjust the cooling capacity; wherein, the first adjustment condition is: simultaneously satisfying: the spatial temperature result is greater than a third temperature threshold, and the crowd density is greater than a second density threshold.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effect achieved by this solution is as follows: It determines whether the air conditioner needs to adjust its cooling capacity based on both the ambient temperature and the crowd density. When the ambient temperature exceeds a third temperature threshold and the crowd density exceeds a second density threshold, it is determined that the air conditioner needs to adjust its cooling capacity. Judging solely by either the ambient temperature or the crowd density is not very accurate; therefore, the first adjustment condition of this invention improves the accuracy of the judgment.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, real-time monitoring of crowd density in multiple spatial intervals includes: the spatial intervals include a first spatial interval and multiple second spatial intervals; monitoring the crowd density in the first spatial interval to obtain a first crowd density; and monitoring the crowd density in the multiple second spatial intervals to obtain multiple second crowd densities.

[0015] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: the space interval includes a first space interval and multiple second space intervals. The first space interval is located near the entrance and exit of the semi-enclosed space, and the second space intervals are located far away from the entrance and exit, so that the first air outlet is located in the first space interval and the second air outlet is located in the second space interval.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, controlling the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on the spatial temperature result and the crowd density further includes: controlling the first air outlet direction based on the first crowd density; and controlling the second air outlet direction based on the second crowd density.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the first air outlet direction is controlled based on the first population density, and the second air outlet direction is controlled based on the second population density, thereby improving control accuracy and temperature control effect.

[0018] On the other hand, embodiments of the present invention also provide an air conditioner control device based on crowd density. The air conditioner control device includes: an acquisition module, which is used to divide a semi-enclosed space into multiple space intervals and acquire the ambient temperature of the space in each space interval in real time to obtain multiple space temperature results; a detection module, which is used to monitor the crowd density of the multiple space intervals in real time; and a control module, which is used to control the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on the space temperature results and the crowd density.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The air conditioner control device based on crowd density in this embodiment is used to implement the air conditioner control method based on crowd density as in any embodiment of the present invention, and therefore it has all the beneficial effects of the air conditioner control method based on crowd density as in any embodiment of the present invention, which will not be repeated here.

[0020] In another aspect, embodiments of the present invention also provide an air conditioner, the air conditioner including: a processor, a memory, and a program or instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the program or instructions are executed by the processor, the steps of the air conditioner control method based on population density as described in any of the above embodiments are implemented.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: the air conditioner in this embodiment operates as the air conditioner control method based on population density in any embodiment of the present invention, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the air conditioner control method based on population density in any embodiment of the present invention, which will not be repeated here.

[0022] In another aspect, embodiments of the present invention also provide a readable storage medium storing a program or instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the air conditioner control method based on crowd density as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The readable storage medium in this embodiment is used to store the air conditioner control method based on crowd density as in any embodiment of the present invention, and therefore it has all the beneficial effects of the air conditioner control method based on crowd density as in any embodiment of the present invention, which will not be repeated here.

[0024] By adopting the technical solution of the present invention, the following technical effects can be achieved:

[0025] (1) In application scenarios such as train stations and bus stations, which are semi-enclosed spaces, there is energy exchange between the semi-enclosed space and the outside world, and its temperature will be affected by the outside world. Moreover, the temperature control effect of the air conditioner will change with the distance from the entrance and exit of the semi-enclosed space. Dividing the semi-enclosed space into multiple spatial intervals and obtaining the spatial ambient temperature in each spatial interval in real time, and obtaining multiple spatial temperature results, can more accurately detect the ambient temperature in each spatial interval, and further reflect the control effect of the air conditioner on the ambient temperature of the semi-enclosed space;

[0026] (2) In a semi-enclosed space, the density of people has a significant impact on the perceived temperature of users. Under the same operating parameters, when the density of people is too high, the temperature regulation capability of the air conditioner is relatively poor compared to the user, while when the density of people is too low, the temperature regulation capability of the air conditioner is better. Therefore, by monitoring the density of people in a space, the temperature regulation capability of the air conditioner can be predicted, and the operating parameters of the air conditioner can be controlled according to the space temperature and the density of people to adjust the air outlet temperature, the airflow direction of the first air outlet and the airflow direction of the second air outlet, thereby improving the temperature control effect of the air conditioner.

[0027] (3) The first air outlet direction is controlled according to the first population density, and the second air outlet direction is controlled according to the second population density, which improves the control accuracy and temperature control effect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0034] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] See Figure 1 This invention provides a method for controlling an air conditioner based on population density, as described in the first embodiment. The air conditioner includes a first air outlet and multiple second air outlets. The first air outlet is located near an entrance / exit, and the multiple second air outlets are located on the side of the first air outlet away from the entrance / exit. The air conditioner control method includes:

[0037] Step S100: Divide the semi-enclosed space into multiple spatial intervals, acquire the ambient temperature of each spatial interval in real time, and obtain multiple spatial temperature results;

[0038] Step S200: Real-time monitoring of population density in multiple spatial zones;

[0039] Step S300: Control the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on the spatial temperature results and the population density;

[0040] The operating parameters include the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner, the first air outlet direction, and the second air outlet direction; the first air outlet direction is the direction of the air from the first air outlet, and the second air outlet direction is the direction of the air from the second air outlet.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, in application scenarios such as train stations and bus stations, which are semi-enclosed spaces, there is energy exchange between the semi-enclosed space and the outside world, and its temperature is affected by the external environment. Furthermore, the temperature control effect of the air conditioner changes with the distance from the entrance / exit of the semi-enclosed space. Dividing the semi-enclosed space into multiple spatial zones and acquiring the ambient temperature in each zone in real time, resulting in multiple temperature data points, allows for more accurate detection of the ambient temperature in each spatial zone, further demonstrating the air conditioner's control effect on the ambient temperature of the semi-enclosed space.

[0042] In semi-enclosed spaces, crowd density significantly impacts perceived temperature. Under the same operating parameters, high crowd density results in poorer temperature regulation relative to the user, while low crowd density leads to better temperature regulation. Therefore, monitoring crowd density within a space allows for prediction of the air conditioner's temperature regulation capability. Based on the spatial temperature and crowd density, the air conditioner's operating parameters can be controlled to adjust the outlet air temperature, the direction of airflow from the first and second outlets, thereby improving the air conditioner's temperature control performance.

[0043] Preferably, crowd density is monitored in real time through image acquisition and processing technology, or it can be monitored in real time through weight sensors buried underground.

[0044] Furthermore, step S100 includes:

[0045] Step S110: Set multiple temperature detection points along the length of the semi-enclosed space, forming a spatial interval between adjacent temperature detection points;

[0046] Step S120: Obtain the temperature of the temperature detection point, and calculate multiple space temperature results based on the temperatures of two adjacent temperature detection points.

[0047] Specifically, the air conditioner has multiple temperature sensors evenly arranged along its length. Each temperature sensor can detect the temperature value of the air conditioner along its length. A length interval is formed between two adjacent temperature sensors. A length interval is also formed between the temperature sensor located at the entrance / exit of the semi-enclosed space and the temperature sensor located closest to the entrance / exit of the semi-enclosed space.

[0048] Setting up multiple temperature detection points avoids detection errors caused by excessive distance and improves the stability of air conditioner temperature detection.

[0049] Furthermore, step S120 includes:

[0050] Step S121: Compare the temperatures of adjacent temperature detection points to obtain the first temperature difference;

[0051] Step S121a: When the first temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, the spatial temperature result is the larger value of the temperatures at adjacent temperature detection points; and / or

[0052] Step S121b: When the first temperature difference is less than the first temperature threshold, the spatial temperature result is the average temperature of the adjacent temperature detection points.

[0053] Specifically, in S121a, the spatial temperature result within the region is determined based on different first temperature differences. When the air conditioner is working, the air outlet temperature varies at different locations. Therefore, when determining the spatial temperature result, it is necessary to judge the temperature difference between adjacent temperature detection points. In the length direction, the greater the distance between them, the less the temperature is affected by other length intervals. If the temperature difference is large, it means that the temperatures of the two temperature detection points on the air conditioner are affected by adjacent length intervals. If the temperature difference is small, it means that the highest temperature of the length interval can be calculated from the temperatures of adjacent temperature detection points. Therefore, by setting a first temperature threshold, the temperature of the length interval is initially determined, and the spatial temperature result is obtained.

[0054] By setting a first temperature threshold, the space temperature results can be adjusted according to the temperature difference between different temperature detection points, making the space temperature results more accurate.

[0055] Furthermore, step S300 includes:

[0056] Step S310: Determine whether the cooling capacity needs to be adjusted based on the space temperature and population density.

[0057] Step S310a: If so, compare the space temperature result with the second temperature threshold to obtain the first comparison result, and adjust the air outlet temperature according to the first comparison result;

[0058] The crowd density is compared with a first density threshold to obtain a second comparison result; the first and second air outlet directions are adjusted based on the second comparison result; and / or

[0059] Step S310b: If not, the air conditioner continues to operate at the current cooling capacity.

[0060] Specifically, the spatial temperature result is compared with a second temperature threshold. If, under the current operating parameters, the temperature within this spatial range will continue to rise, the air conditioner needs to be controlled to cool the designated area to prevent excessive heat; the outlet air temperature needs to be further reduced. The crowd density is compared with a first density threshold. If the crowd density is greater than the first density threshold, it is determined that the temperature within the spatial range will continue to rise. Therefore, the first and second outlet air directions are adjusted so that the airflow from the outlets is directed closer to the space where the temperature is rising, thus cooling the designated area.

[0061] Furthermore, step S310 includes:

[0062] Step S311: Determine whether the air conditioner meets the first adjustment condition based on the spatial temperature results and the population density;

[0063] Step S311a: If the first adjustment condition is met, determine that the air conditioner needs to adjust its cooling capacity;

[0064] The first adjustment condition is that the following conditions must be met simultaneously: the spatial temperature is greater than the third temperature threshold, and the population density is greater than the second density threshold.

[0065] Specifically, the need to adjust the cooling capacity of the air conditioner is determined based on both the ambient temperature and the crowd density. If the ambient temperature exceeds a third temperature threshold and the crowd density exceeds a second density threshold, the air conditioner is deemed to need to adjust its cooling capacity. However, relying solely on either ambient temperature or crowd density for this determination is not highly accurate. Therefore, the first adjustment condition of this invention improves the accuracy of the determination.

[0066] Preferably, the third temperature threshold is greater than the second temperature threshold, and the second density threshold is greater than the first density threshold.

[0067] Furthermore, step S200 includes:

[0068] The spatial interval includes a first spatial interval and multiple second spatial intervals;

[0069] Step S210: Monitor the population density in the first spatial interval to obtain the first population density;

[0070] Step S220: Monitor the population density of multiple second spatial intervals to obtain multiple second population densities.

[0071] Specifically, the spatial intervals include a first spatial interval and multiple second spatial intervals. The first spatial interval is located near the entrance and exit of the semi-enclosed space, while the second spatial intervals are located away from the entrance and exit, so that the first air outlet is located within the first spatial interval and the second air outlet is located within the second spatial interval.

[0072] Preferably, the spatial intervals and population densities correspond one-to-one, which facilitates the subsequent adjustment of the operating parameters of the air conditioners in each spatial interval.

[0073] Furthermore, step S300 also includes:

[0074] The direction of the first air outlet is controlled according to the density of the first group of people.

[0075] The direction of the second air outlet is controlled based on the density of the second population.

[0076] Specifically, the airflow direction of the first outlet is controlled based on the density of the first group of people, and the airflow direction of the second outlet is controlled based on the density of the second group of people, which improves the control accuracy and temperature control effect.
