[0036] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the air conditioner involved in the embodiment of the present invention;

[0037] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are only one embodiment and not the entirety of the invention. Detailed Implementation

[0038] New air conditioners can integrate multiple functions such as fan, purification, humidification, dehumidification, and fresh air intake. Each function can be adjusted in a coordinated manner; for example, when the temperature is raised, the fan speed can be adjusted accordingly, eliminating the need for users to adjust each function individually. This coordinated adjustment method improves the air conditioner's efficiency. However, regardless of whether user control or system automation is used, the same coordinated adjustment method is employed, resulting in insufficient intelligence and unsatisfactory adjustment effects.

[0039] To address the issue of insufficient intelligence in linkage regulation caused by using the same linkage adjustment method for different control modes, this application proposes a multi-linkage control method for air conditioners. By acquiring the current control mode, the linkage mode of the air conditioner is determined based on the control mode; then, the adjustment amount of the linkage adjustment control parameters is determined based on the linkage adjustment intensity; and the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the determined adjustment amount of the control parameters. Since the linkage adjustment intensity of the air conditioner can be determined based on different control modes, and the adjustment amount of the linkage adjustment control parameters is adjusted according to this intensity, the control parameters of the air conditioner can be adjusted according to different control modes, making the linkage adjustment process more intelligent.

[0040] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of this disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in the first embodiment of this application, the multi-linkage control method for an air conditioner is applied to an air conditioner. The air conditioner can integrate multiple functions such as fan, purification, humidification, dehumidification, and fresh air intake. Each function can be linked for adjustment and control. Specifically, the multi-linkage control method for an air conditioner includes the following steps:

[0042] Step S110: Obtain the current control mode.

[0043] In this embodiment, there are multiple control methods for the air conditioner. Optionally, the control method can be based on user-triggered control commands. Optionally, the control method can also be a system control method.

[0044] Optionally, when the control method is based on user-triggered control commands, these commands include, but are not limited to, voice control commands, touch commands on the air conditioner control panel, button trigger commands on the air conditioner control panel, remote control commands, and remote control commands from a terminal device. The terminal device can be a smartphone, watch, or similar device. The terminal device is communicatively connected to the air conditioner. An application for the air conditioner is installed on the terminal device, allowing control of the air conditioner based on this application.

[0045] Optionally, when the control mode is a system control mode, the system control mode includes, but is not limited to, a custom power-on / off control mode, a sleep curve control mode, an energy-saving control mode, a temperature control mode, and a combined temperature and humidity control mode; it may also include a humidity control mode, a comfort control mode, etc. The system control mode can be the system default control mode, or it can be adjusted and switched according to actual operating conditions.

[0046] Step S120: Determine the linkage mode of the air conditioner according to the control mode. The linkage mode includes the control parameters of linkage adjustment and the linkage adjustment intensity.

[0047] In this embodiment, after obtaining the current control mode, the linkage mode of the air conditioner can be determined based on the control mode. Different control modes correspond to different linkage modes. The linkage mode of the air conditioner under various control modes can be preset according to actual conditions.

[0048] Optionally, when the current control method is based on user-triggered control commands, the air conditioner's linkage method is the first linkage method. For example, when the control method is one of voice control commands, button trigger commands on the air conditioner's control panel, remote control commands, or remote control commands from the terminal device, the air conditioner's linkage method can be determined to be the first linkage method.

[0049] Optionally, when the current control mode is system control mode, the linkage mode of the air conditioner is determined to be the second linkage mode. For example, if the system control mode includes one of the following: on / off control mode, sleep curve control mode, energy saving control mode, temperature and humidity control mode, temperature control mode, and comfort control mode, the linkage mode of the air conditioner can be determined to be the second linkage mode.

[0050] Optionally, the second linkage method may further include one of strong linkage, weak linkage, or no linkage. The control parameters and linkage intensity are different for each linkage method, and the corresponding adjustment weight is also different for each linkage method. Optionally, the adjustment weights decrease sequentially from strong linkage to weak linkage to no linkage. The adjustment weights corresponding to different linkage methods can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0051] Optionally, regardless of whether it's the first or second linkage method, the linkage method includes the control parameters and linkage adjustment intensity. That is, different control methods correspond to different control parameters and linkage adjustment intensities.

[0052] For example, regarding the system control method: When the current control method is on / off control or sleep curve control, the air conditioner's linkage method is determined to be strong linkage. When the current control method is energy-saving control or temperature control, the air conditioner's linkage method is determined to be weak linkage. When the current control method is dual temperature and humidity control, the air conditioner's linkage method is determined to be no linkage. Of course, the linkage method corresponding to different system control methods can also be set according to the actual situation.

[0053] Optionally, different control methods and their corresponding linkage methods can be preset in the air conditioner, so that the corresponding linkage method can be quickly located when the air conditioner is adjusted in a linkage manner. This not only improves the linkage adjustment efficiency of the air conditioner, but also makes the entire linkage adjustment process more intelligent.

[0054] Step S130: Determine the adjustment amount of the control parameter of the linkage adjustment based on the linkage adjustment intensity.

[0055] Step S140: Control the operation of the air conditioner according to the determined adjustment amount of the control parameters.

[0056] In this embodiment, different linkage methods have different control parameters and linkage intensity for linkage adjustment. The control parameters for linkage adjustment include, but are not limited to, at least one of temperature, humidity, fan speed, purification level, and fresh air level; that is, the control parameter can be a single parameter or a combination of multiple parameters. Different linkage intensity levels correspond to different adjustment weights.

[0057] In this embodiment, after determining the linkage adjustment intensity and control parameters corresponding to different control methods, the adjustment amount of the linkage adjustment control parameters can be determined based on the linkage adjustment intensity. Then, the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the determined adjustment amount of the control parameters.

[0058] Optionally, all control parameters can be adjusted simultaneously based on the same linkage adjustment intensity. The adjustment amount of each control parameter corresponding to each linkage adjustment intensity can be preset and stored in the air conditioner's memory. After determining the linkage adjustment intensity, the preset adjustment amount of each control parameter corresponding to that linkage adjustment intensity can be retrieved from the memory, and then the adjustment amount of each control parameter can be determined based on the preset adjustment amount. The preset adjustment amount is different for each control parameter.

[0059] Optionally, after obtaining the current parameter values ​​of each control parameter, the target parameter values ​​of each control parameter can be determined based on the current parameter values ​​and the adjustment amount, thereby controlling the air conditioner to operate according to the target parameter values.

[0060] For example, refer to the following table:

[0061]

[0062] When the current control method is voice control, the corresponding linkage adjustment intensity is W1, the corresponding temperature adjustment is a decrease of 5℃, the corresponding humidity adjustment is a decrease of 5%RH, the corresponding fan speed adjustment is a decrease of 50r / min, the corresponding purification level adjustment is an increase of 1 level, and the corresponding fresh air level is an increase of 1 level. Under this voice control method, all control parameters can be adjusted simultaneously. Assuming the current temperature is 25℃, the corresponding humidity is 35%RH, the corresponding fan speed is 300r / min, the corresponding purification level is 3, and the corresponding fresh air level is 3, then the target parameter values ​​for each control parameter after adjustment are: temperature 20℃, humidity 30%RH, fan speed 250r / min, purification level 4, and fresh air level 4. Therefore, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at a temperature of 20℃, humidity of 30%RH, fan speed of 250r / min, purification level 4, and fresh air level 4.

[0063] Optionally, only a few control parameters can be adjusted in tandem according to actual conditions. For example, in sleep curve control mode, the corresponding tandem adjustment intensity is W2, the corresponding temperature adjustment is a decrease of 3℃, the corresponding humidity adjustment is a decrease of 3%RH, the corresponding fan speed adjustment is a decrease of 30r / min, the corresponding purification level adjustment is an increase of 1 level, and the corresponding fresh air level remains unchanged. Assuming the current temperature is 25℃, the corresponding humidity is 35%RH, the corresponding fan speed is 300r / min, and the corresponding purification level is 3, then the target parameter values ​​for each control parameter after adjustment are: temperature 20℃, humidity 30%RH, fan speed 250r / min, and purification level 4. The air conditioner can then be controlled to operate at a temperature of 20℃, humidity of 30%RH, fan speed of 250r / min, and purification level 4.

[0064] Optionally, a target control parameter can be selected from the various control parameters of the air conditioner based on human comfort values; a preset adjustment amount corresponding to the target control parameter can be determined based on the intensity of the linkage adjustment; and then the preset adjustment amount can be determined as the adjustment amount of the target control parameter.

[0065] To ensure human comfort during the operation of air conditioning equipment, the target control parameters to be adjusted can be determined using comfort values. Human comfort values ​​are quantified as the level of comfort a human experiences in the environment provided by the air conditioning equipment. These values ​​can be theoretically the most comfortable values ​​for human comfort in terms of temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed within that environment.

[0066] Optionally, the current parameter value of the target control parameter can be obtained; based on the current parameter value and the adjustment amount of the target control parameter, the target parameter value of the target control parameter can be determined; and the air conditioner can be controlled to operate according to the target parameter value.

[0067] Optionally, the temperature for a relatively comfortable human body is set to 24℃, humidity to 30%, and wind speed to 200 r / min. Under these conditions, the human comfort value is 0. If the human comfort value is greater than 0, it means that the user will feel too hot under this air conditioner setting; if it is less than 0, it means that the user will feel too cold. That is, the target control parameters selected from the various control parameters of the air conditioner based on the human comfort value can be temperature, humidity, and wind speed. If the current control method is determined to be voice control, the corresponding linkage adjustment intensity is W1, the corresponding temperature adjustment is a decrease of 5℃, the corresponding humidity adjustment is a decrease of 5%RH, and the corresponding wind speed adjustment is a decrease of 50 r / min. The purification setting and fresh air setting adjustments can remain unchanged. This ensures that the air conditioner's adjustment process meets human comfort requirements.

[0068] Assuming the current temperature is 29℃, humidity is 35%, and fan speed is 250 r / min, based on the adjustment values ​​of the target control parameters and their current values, the target parameter values ​​can be determined as follows: temperature 24℃, humidity 30%, and fan speed 200 r / min. Therefore, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at a temperature of 24℃, humidity of 30%, and fan speed of 200 r / min.

[0069] This embodiment, based on the above technical solution, obtains the current control mode and determines the air conditioner's linkage mode accordingly; then, it determines the adjustment amount of the linkage adjustment control parameters based on the linkage adjustment intensity; and finally, it controls the air conditioner's operation based on the determined adjustment amount of the control parameters. Since the linkage adjustment intensity of the air conditioner can be determined according to different control modes, and the adjustment amount of the linkage adjustment control parameters can be adjusted according to this intensity, the air conditioner's control parameters can be adjusted for different control modes, making the linkage adjustment process more intelligent.
