Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a floor-standing air conditioner and its air conditioning sterilization control method and device. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, air conditioners are becoming increasingly widely used. The indoor unit of an air conditioner exchanges heat with the air in the room. Indoor air enters the unit's casing through the air inlet, exchanges heat with the evaporator, and then exits into the room through the air outlet. However, after prolonged use, air conditioners accumulate a large number of bacteria inside. When indoor air flows through the inside of the indoor unit, it carries these bacteria into the room, leading to a decline in indoor air quality and, in severe cases, harming people's health.

[0003] Currently, most air conditioners on the market have their sterilization devices installed inside the air outlet cavity of the floor-standing air conditioner to sterilize the air flowing out of the air conditioner. However, when a large area of ​​air conditioning air flows out from the air outlet, it cannot quickly merge with negative ions, resulting in low sterilization efficiency and affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

Wherein, n is a positive integer greater than 1, and k is a positive integer that increases sequentially from 1 to n; the target gear increases sequentially with the n groups of ion wind generating modules arranged in ascending order.

[0007] According to the present invention, a cabinet air conditioner is provided with a second air-draining column and a third air-draining column respectively in the direction of the first edge and the second edge of the air outlet away from the body of the cabinet air conditioner. The first sterilization device carried on the second drainage column includes n1 groups of first ion wind generating modules on the same vertical line. The first n1-1 groups of first ion wind generating modules include at least an even number of first ion wind generating devices symmetrically arranged above and below the axis of symmetry. The n1 group of first ion wind generating modules includes at least one first ion wind generating device.

The first n2-1 groups of second ion wind generating modules include at least an even number of second ion wind generating devices symmetrically arranged above and below the axis of symmetry. The n2 group of second ion wind generating modules includes at least one second ion wind generating device. The first ion wind generating module and the second ion wind generating module simultaneously respond to the control commands issued by the processor, and periodically output the ion gas flow with the target waveform through the following steps: The first ion wind generating module of group k1 is used to respond to the first control command k1 and adjust the fan speed or operating power of all first ion wind generating devices in the first ion wind generating module of group k1 to the first target level during the first working cycle. At the same time, all second ion wind generating modules respond to the second control command to keep the fan speed or operating power of all second ion wind generating devices at the minimum value. The second ion wind generating module of group k2 is used to respond to the third control command k2. During the second working cycle, the fan speed or operating power of all second ion wind generating devices in the second ion wind generating module of group k2 is adjusted to the second target level. At the same time, all first ion wind generating modules respond to the fourth control command to keep the fan speed or operating power of all first ion wind generating devices at the minimum value. Wherein, n1 and n2 are both positive integers greater than 1, k1 is each positive integer sequentially increasing from 1 to n1; k2 is each positive integer sequentially increasing from 1 to n2; the first target gear is sequentially increasing from the first ion wind generating module arranged in ascending order of group n1; the second target gear is sequentially increasing from the second ion wind generating module arranged in ascending order of group n2; the second working cycle is the next cycle after the first working cycle.

[0008] According to a cabinet air conditioner provided by the present invention, each of the ion wind generating devices includes an ion generator and a fan; The ion generator is used to ionize indoor air under the control of the processor and diffuse the generated negative ions to the air outlet of the fan. The fan is used to periodically output indoor air horizontally from the fan outlet under the control of the processor, and then form the sinusoidal ion airflow by adsorbing the negative ions generated by the ion generator.

[0009] The present invention also provides a method for air conditioning sterilization control in a floor-standing air conditioner, comprising: If the initial state of the cabinet air conditioner is determined to be the working state, the sterilization mode is activated. If the sterilization mode is successfully activated, the sterilization device is controlled to periodically carry the ionized airflow with the target waveform along the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located to the target indoor space position, so as to accelerate purification by merging with the air conditioning air in the target indoor space position. Wherein, the target indoor space location is the intersection of the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located and the vertical plane where the first edge and / or the second edge is located; the target waveform is a curve that is symmetrical about the axis of symmetry of the sterilization device in the length direction, and the peak value on the axis of symmetry decreases linearly along both sides; the peak value on the axis of symmetry coincides with the target indoor space location.

[0010] According to an air conditioning sterilization control method provided by the present invention, when the number of sterilization devices is determined to be 1, the sterilization device is controlled to periodically carry an ionized gas flow with a target waveform along the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located to a target indoor space location, including: n control commands are sent simultaneously to n groups of ion wind generating modules, so that all ion wind generating devices in each group of ion wind generating modules can respond to the corresponding control commands at the same time and periodically output the ion wind flow with the target waveform. The sterilization device includes n groups of ion wind generating modules on the same vertical line. The first n-1 groups of ion wind generating modules include at least an even number of ion wind generating devices symmetrically arranged above and below the axis of symmetry. The nth group of ion wind generating modules includes at least one ion wind generating device. n is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0011] According to an air conditioning sterilization control method provided by the present invention, when the number of sterilization devices is determined to be 2, the sterilization devices are controlled to periodically carry an ionized gas flow with a target waveform along the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located to a target indoor space location, including: Each of the n1 groups of first ion wind generating modules sends n1 first control commands to each group of first ion wind generating modules, so that all first ion wind generating devices in each group of first ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding first control commands. While outputting the ion airflow with the target waveform in the first working cycle, each of the n2 groups of second ion wind generating modules also sends n2 second control commands to each group of second ion wind generating modules, so that all second ion wind generating devices in each group of second ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding second control commands. During the first working cycle, the fan speed or operating power of all second ion wind generating devices is kept at the minimum value. Then, n1 third control commands are sent to the n1 groups of first ion wind generating modules respectively, so that all first ion wind generating devices in each group of first ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding third control commands. During the second working cycle, while keeping the fan speed or operating power of all first ion wind generating devices at the minimum value, n2 fourth control commands are also sent to the n2 groups of second ion wind generating modules respectively, so that all second ion wind generating devices in each group of second ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding fourth control commands. During the second working cycle, the ion airflow with the target waveform is output. Where n1 and n2 are both positive integers greater than 1; the second working cycle is the next cycle after the first working cycle.

[0012] According to an air conditioning sterilization control method provided by the present invention, after activating the sterilization mode, the method further includes: Send a fan test command to the sterilization device; If, according to the fan test results fed back by the sterilization device, the fan speed of all ion wind generating modules increases from the minimum value to the maximum value, then the sterilization mode is determined to be successfully activated. If, according to the fan test results fed back by the sterilization device, the fan speed of at least one ion wind generating module fails to increase from the minimum value to the maximum value, then the sterilization mode activation is deemed to have failed, and an alarm message is sent to the control terminal of the floor-standing air conditioner. The fan test results are obtained by the sterilization device in response to the fan test command.

[0013] According to an air conditioning sterilization control method provided by the present invention, before activating the sterilization mode, the method further includes: If it is determined that the initial state of the cabinet air conditioner is not in operation, the air supply mode is activated. Once the air supply mode is confirmed to be on, the sterilization mode is activated.

[0014] According to an air conditioning sterilization control method provided by the present invention, after the sterilization device periodically carries an ionized gas flow with a target waveform along the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located to a target indoor space position, the method further includes: If the runtime of the sterilization mode is determined to be greater than or equal to a preset threshold, a shutdown command is sent to the sterilization device so that the sterilization device can stop operating according to the shutdown command; If it is determined that the sterilization device has stopped operating, a state restoration command is sent to the floor-standing air conditioner so that the floor-standing air conditioner can restore to its initial state according to the state restoration command.

[0015] The present invention also provides an air conditioning sterilization control device, comprising: The first sterilization activation module is used to activate the sterilization mode when the initial state of the cabinet air conditioner is determined to be the working state. The sterilization module is used to control the sterilization device to periodically carry the ionized airflow with the target waveform along the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located to the target indoor space position when the sterilization mode is successfully activated, so as to accelerate purification by merging with the air conditioning air in the target indoor space position. Wherein, the target indoor space location is the intersection of the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located and the vertical plane where the first edge and / or the second edge is located; the target waveform is a curve that is symmetrical about the axis of symmetry of the sterilization device in the length direction, and the peak value on the axis of symmetry decreases linearly along both sides; the peak value on the axis of symmetry coincides with the target indoor space location.

[0016] The present invention also provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the air conditioning sterilization control method as described above.

[0017] The present invention also provides a computer program product, including a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the air conditioning sterilization control method as described above.

[0018] The present invention provides a floor-standing air conditioner and its air-conditioning sterilization control method and device. When the floor-standing air conditioner is determined to be operating in working mode, the sterilization mode is directly activated. By controlling the sterilization device to periodically output an ionized airflow with a target waveform, the ionized airflow, which exhibits the strongest output at the center position indicated by the target waveform and gradually weakens at the sides, quickly enters the target indoor space position and merges with the airflow from the cross-flow fan of the floor-standing air conditioner. This achieves accelerated mixing of the ionized airflow in the air-conditioned air under the cutting action of the "arrow-shaped" airflow, thereby increasing the diffusion speed of ions in the room and enhancing the sterilization effect and efficiency.

[0023] It should be understood that the terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms.

[0024] The terms “comprising” and “including” indicate the presence of the described feature, whole, step, operation, element and / or component, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components and / or collections thereof.

[0025] Figure 1 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the floor-standing air conditioner provided by the present invention. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the cabinet air conditioner provided in this embodiment of the invention includes: a cabinet air conditioner body 110, which includes a processor 111.

[0026] A diversion column 120 is provided at the first edge and / or the second edge of the air outlet away from the main body 110 of the floor-standing air conditioner. The diversion column 120 is used to carry the sterilization device 121. Under the control of the processor 111, the sterilization device 121 is used to periodically carry an ionized airflow with a target waveform along the vertical plane where the sterilization device 121 is located to the target indoor space position, so as to accelerate purification by merging with the air conditioning air in the target indoor space position.

[0027] The target indoor spatial location is the intersection of the vertical plane where the sterilization device 121 is located and the vertical plane where the first edge and / or the second edge are located. The target waveform is symmetrical about the axis of symmetry of the sterilization device 121 in the length direction, and the peak value on the axis of symmetry decreases linearly along both sides. The peak value on the axis of symmetry coincides with the target indoor spatial location.

[0028] The application scenario of the cabinet air conditioner in this embodiment of the invention is to use a sterilization device set independently of the air conditioner to ionize indoor air with high voltage, releasing a large number of negative ions and some positive ions. The OH hydroxyl radicals formed actively remove harmful microorganisms in the air conditioner air and indoor air, thereby achieving indoor sterilization.

[0029] Specifically, the floor-standing air conditioner includes a floor-standing air conditioner body 110, and a guide column 120 parallel to the air outlet is respectively provided on the surface of the casing in the left area of ​​the air outlet (i.e., on the left side of the first edge) and / or the right area of ​​the air outlet (i.e., on the right side of the second edge) of the floor-standing air conditioner body 110. A sterilization device 121 is provided on the surface of the guide column 120 in the length direction. When the processor 111 determines to activate the sterilization mode according to the operating status of the floor-standing air conditioner body 110, it controls the sterilization device 121 to ionize the indoor air, and outputs an ionized airflow with a target waveform into the indoor space in a vertical plane parallel to the sterilization device 121.

[0030] The target waveform of the ionized airflow refers to the ionized airflow formed when the indoor air is ionized by the sterilization device 121 and then blown outward at different positions in the sterilization device 121 with corresponding power. The output is strongest at the center position along the length of the sterilization device 121 and gradually weakens at the sides.

[0031] The origin O of the coordinate system is taken as the intersection of the horizontal axis of symmetry and the vertical axis of symmetry of the vertical plane where the sterilization device 121 is located on the drainage column 120. The direction from the origin of the coordinate system to the uppermost part of the sterilization device 121 in the vertical axis of symmetry is taken as the positive direction of the X-axis. The direction from the origin of the coordinate system to the indoor space in the central axis of the sterilization device 121 is taken as the positive direction of the Y-axis.

[0032] The target waveform is symmetrically distributed about the central axis corresponding to the Y-axis in the first and second quadrants of the XOY plane. The Y-axis value at the origin of the coordinate system is the rated maximum power, which is used as the peak value of the target waveform. Furthermore, multiple sets of X-coordinates are set at equal intervals in both positive and negative directions of the X-axis, with the corresponding Y-coordinates decreasing arithmetically as they extend in both directions, corresponding to the intensity change trend of the strongest output at the center position along the length of the sterilization device 121, gradually weakening at the sides.

[0033] An ionized airflow with a target waveform is periodically output along a direction parallel to the guide column 120. It merges with the air conditioning air output by the cross-flow fan of the cabinet air conditioner body 110 along its air outlet in a fan-shaped area. By utilizing the inertial impact of the airflow and the easy penetration of the "arrow" shape corresponding to the target waveform, a shearing force is formed at the target indoor space position, which accelerates the mixing of the ionized airflow in the air conditioning air, thereby accelerating the diffusion of ions in the room.

[0034] It is understandable that the overall length of the air diversion column 120 can be matched with the length of the air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner body 110.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, a sterilization device is installed on a guide column connected to the side of the air outlet of a floor-standing air conditioner. A processor controls the sterilization device to periodically output an ionized airflow with a target waveform. This results in the ionized airflow, characterized by the strongest output at the center position indicated by the target waveform and gradually weakening output at the sides, rapidly entering the target indoor space and merging with the airflow from the cross-flow fan of the floor-standing air conditioner. This "arrow-shaped" airflow entry accelerates the mixing of the ionized airflow in the air-conditioned air, increasing the diffusion speed of ions indoors and enhancing the sterilization effect and efficiency.

[0036] Based on any of the above embodiments, a first airflow guide column is provided in the direction of the first or second edge of the air outlet away from the body of the floor-standing air conditioner.

[0037] The sterilization device carried on the first drainage column includes n groups of ion wind generating modules on the same vertical line. The first n-1 groups of ion wind generating modules include at least an even number of ion wind generating devices symmetrically arranged above and below the axis of symmetry. The nth group of ion wind generating modules includes at least one ion wind generating device.

[0038] n ion wind generating modules simultaneously respond to n control commands issued by the processor, and periodically output an ion gas flow with the target waveform through the following steps: The k-th ion wind generating module is used to respond to the k-th control command, and after adjusting the fan speed or operating power of all ion wind generating devices in the k-th ion wind generating module to the target level in the current working cycle, it will keep the fan speed or operating power of all ion wind generating devices at the minimum value in the next working cycle.

[0039] Where n is a positive integer greater than 1, and k is a sequentially increasing positive integer from 1 to n. The target gear increases sequentially with the n groups of ion wind generating modules arranged in ascending order.

[0040] Specifically, when a first airflow guide column 120 is installed in the left or right area of ​​the air outlet of the floor-standing air conditioner body 110, the sterilization device 121 on the first airflow guide column 120 includes ion air generating devices arranged vertically in sequence. Using the axis of symmetry along the length direction as the axis of symmetry, the ion air generating devices located symmetrically on both sides of this axis of symmetry are divided into n groups of ion air generating modules. After the processor activates the sterilization mode, it sends control commands in the corresponding sequence to each group of ion air generating modules, controlling the ion air generating devices in the corresponding group to adjust their fan speed or operating power to the target level corresponding to that sequence within the current working cycle.

[0041] The embodiments of the present invention do not specifically limit the division method of the ion wind generating module or the value of the working cycle.

[0042] For example, Figure 3 This is a waveform diagram of the ion gas flow with the target waveform provided by the present invention. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the sterilization device consists of 10 ion wind generators (N1-N10) arranged vertically in ascending order of their numbers, with a working cycle of 1 second as an example: Since the number of ion wind generators is even, when dividing two ion wind generators symmetrically arranged along the axis of symmetry into one ion wind generating module, the value of n can be n=10 / 2=5. In this case, k=[1,2,3,4,5]. Correspondingly, the target gear can also be divided into five gears from low to high according to the rated range of the fan speed or operating power.

[0043] Within the current working cycle (i.e., second 0 to second 1), the vertically symmetrical ion wind generators N1 and N10 are used as the first group of ion wind generating modules. In response to the first control command, the first group of ion wind generating modules controls the ion wind generators N1 and N10 to adjust the fan speed or operating power to the first gear corresponding to the first control command, which is 1 / 5 of the rated maximum value of the fan speed or operating power.

[0044] The symmetrical ion wind generators N2 and N9 are used as the second group of ion wind generating modules. In response to the second control command, the second group of ion wind generating modules controls the ion wind generators N2 and N9 to adjust the fan speed or operating power to the second gear corresponding to the second control command, which is 2 / 5 of the rated maximum value of the fan speed or operating power.

[0045] The vertically symmetrical ion wind generators N3 and N8 are designated as the third group of ion wind generating modules. In response to the third control command, the third group of ion wind generating modules controls the ion wind generators N3 and N8 to adjust the fan speed or operating power to the third gear corresponding to the third control command, which is 3 / 5 of the rated maximum value of the fan speed or operating power.

[0046] The vertically symmetrical ion wind generators N4 and N7 are designated as the fourth group of ion wind generating modules. In response to the fourth control command, the fourth group of ion wind generating modules controls the ion wind generators N4 and N7 to adjust the fan speed or operating power to the fourth gear corresponding to the fourth control command, which is 4 / 5 of the rated maximum value of the fan speed or operating power.

[0047] The symmetrical ion wind generators N5 and N6 are designated as the fifth ion wind generating module. In response to the fifth control command, the fifth ion wind generating module controls the ion wind generators N5 and N6 to adjust the fan speed or operating power to the fifth gear corresponding to the fifth control command, which is the rated maximum value of the fan speed or operating power.

[0048] During the next working cycle (i.e., the first second to the second second), the fan speed or operating power of the ion wind generators N1-N10 is kept at a minimum value. For example, the minimum value can be 0, or it can be the rated minimum value of the fan speed or operating power.

[0049] It is understandable that if the number of ion wind generators is odd, after dividing the even number of ion wind generators symmetrically arranged along the axis of symmetry into the first n-1 groups of ion wind generating modules, the remaining odd number of ion wind generators are divided into the nth group of ion wind generating modules. Among them, the ion wind generator that cannot be symmetrically arranged along the axis of symmetry is located on the axis of symmetry.

[0050] This invention, through simultaneous independent control of multiple ion air generating modules in the sterilization device, repeats the trend of the strongest output at the center position and the gradually weakening output on both sides in any two adjacent working cycles. It can achieve the periodic output of "arrow-shaped" ion airflow through flexible module combination, accelerate the mixing of sinusoidal ion airflow in the air conditioning air, improve the diffusion speed of ions in the room, enhance the sterilization effect and efficiency, and reduce the construction cost to a certain extent.

[0051] Based on any of the above embodiments, a second airflow guide column and a third airflow guide column are respectively provided in the direction of the first edge and the second edge of the air outlet away from the body of the floor-standing air conditioner.

[0052] The first sterilization device carried on the second drainage column includes n1 groups of first ion wind generating modules on the same vertical line. The first n1-1 groups of first ion wind generating modules include at least an even number of first ion wind generating devices symmetrically arranged above and below the axis of symmetry. The n1 group of first ion wind generating modules includes at least one first ion wind generating device.

[0053] The second sterilization device carried on the third drainage column includes n2 groups of second ion wind generating modules on the same vertical line. The first n2-1 groups of second ion wind generating modules include at least an even number of second ion wind generating devices symmetrically arranged above and below the axis of symmetry. The n2 group of second ion wind generating modules includes at least one second ion wind generating device.

[0054] The first and second ion wind generating modules simultaneously respond to control commands issued by the processor, and periodically output an ion gas flow with the target waveform through the following steps: The first ion wind generating module of group k1 is used to respond to the first control command k1, and in the first working cycle, adjust the fan speed or operating power of all first ion wind generating devices in the first ion wind generating module of group k1 to the first target level, while all second ion wind generating modules respond to the second control command to keep the fan speed or operating power of all second ion wind generating devices at the minimum value.

[0055] The second ion wind generating module of group k2 is used to respond to the third control command k2. During the second working cycle, the fan speed or operating power of all second ion wind generating devices in the second ion wind generating module of group k2 is adjusted to the second target level. At the same time, all first ion wind generating modules respond to the fourth control command to keep the fan speed or operating power of all first ion wind generating devices at the minimum value.

[0056] Where n1 and n2 are both positive integers greater than 1, k1 is a sequentially increasing positive integer from 1 to n1, and k2 is a sequentially increasing positive integer from 1 to n2. The first target gear is sequentially increased by the first ion wind generating module arranged in ascending order of group n1. The second target gear is sequentially increased by the second ion wind generating module arranged in ascending order of group n2. The second working cycle is the next cycle after the first working cycle.

[0057] Specifically, when a second and a third airflow guide column are respectively installed in the left and right regions of the air outlet of the floor-standing air conditioner body 110, the first sterilization device on the second airflow guide column includes first ion air generating devices arranged vertically in sequence. Using the axis of symmetry along the length direction as the axis of symmetry, the first ion air generating devices located symmetrically on both sides of this axis of symmetry are divided into n1 groups of first ion air generating modules. Similarly, the second sterilization device on the third airflow guide column includes second ion air generating devices arranged vertically in sequence. Using the axis of symmetry along the length direction as the axis of symmetry, the second ion air generating devices located symmetrically on both sides of this axis of symmetry are divided into n2 groups of second ion air generating modules.

[0058] After the processor activates the sterilization mode, in the first working cycle, by sending a first control command in the corresponding sequence to each group of first ion wind generating modules, the first ion wind generating device under the corresponding group is controlled to adjust its fan speed or operating power to the target level corresponding to that sequence in this cycle. At the same time, by sending a unified second control command to each group of second ion wind generating modules, the second ion wind generating device under that group is controlled to adjust all its fan speed or operating power to the minimum value in this cycle.

[0059] Then, in the second working cycle, by sending a third control command in the corresponding sequence to each group of second ion wind generating modules, the second ion wind generating devices under the corresponding group are controlled to adjust their fan speed or operating power to the target level corresponding to that sequence in this cycle. At the same time, by sending a unified fourth control command to each group of first ion wind generating modules, the first ion wind generating devices under that group are controlled to adjust all their fan speed or operating power to the minimum value in this cycle.

[0060] This invention embodiment independently controls multiple sets of first and second ion wind generating modules contained in the first and second sterilization devices. Within any two adjacent working cycles, the ion airflow is alternately output from the left and right sides of the air outlet, with the strongest output at the center and the output gradually weakening on both sides. The alternating output of "arrow-shaped" ion airflow can be achieved through flexible module combination, which accelerates the mixing of sinusoidal ion airflow in the air conditioning air, thereby improving the diffusion speed of ions in the room, enhancing the sterilization effect and efficiency, and reducing the construction cost to a certain extent.

[0061] Figure 3 This is the second structural schematic diagram of the floor-standing air conditioner provided by this invention. (See diagram below.) Figure 3 As shown, each ion wind generating device 321 includes an ion generator 321-1 and a fan 321-2.

[0062] Ion generator 321-1 is used to ionize indoor air under the control of processor 311 and diffuse the generated negative ions to the air outlet of fan 321-2.

[0063] The fan 321-2 is used to periodically output indoor air horizontally from the air outlet of the fan 321-2 under the control of the processor 311, and the negative ions generated by the adsorption ion generator 321-1 form an ion airflow with a target waveform.

[0064] It should be noted that, according to the number of ion wind generating modules 321, a corresponding number of through holes need to be opened at the same interval in the vertical line of the diversion column 320 in advance.

[0065] If the cabinet air conditioner body 310 is provided with two air diversion columns 320, then the same number of through holes can be opened at the same interval on different air diversion columns 320, and an ion wind generating module can be embedded therein. Alternatively, different numbers of through holes can be opened at different intervals, and an ion wind generating module can be embedded therein.

[0066] Specifically, each ion wind generator 321 arranged vertically in each drainage arm 320 consists of a fan 321-2 embedded in a through hole, and an ion generator 321-1 disposed on the inner wall of the through hole above the fan 321-2.

[0067] Among them, the ion generator 321-1, in addition to producing a large number of active negative oxygen ions, also produces a large number of highly active neutral substances, short-lived active particles (such as O, OH, HO2, etc.) and long-lived active ions (such as excited-state N2, H2O2, etc.). The neutral substances add to the air washing, which has a greater effect and no by-products.

[0068] The 321-2 fan can achieve stepless speed regulation based on a DC motor, enabling quantitative direct control of speed changes, which better conforms to the linear characteristics of a straight arrow shape.

[0069] In this embodiment of the invention, each ion generator in the sterilization device is configured by combining ion generators on the fans. This keeps the ion generators on when the sterilization mode is activated. By adjusting the output intensity of the ion airflow with corresponding control commands for different fan groups during the same working cycle, the combined control of the ion generators and fans can achieve the periodic output of "arrow-shaped" ion airflow. This accelerates the mixing of the sinusoidal ion airflow in the air conditioning air, thereby increasing the diffusion speed of ions indoors, enhancing the sterilization effect and efficiency, and reducing construction costs to some extent.

[0070] Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart of the air conditioning sterilization control method provided by the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, based on any of the above embodiments, the air conditioning sterilization control method for a floor-standing air conditioner includes: step 401, activating the sterilization mode when the initial state of the floor-standing air conditioner is determined to be the working state.

[0071] It should be noted that the main body executing the air conditioning sterilization control method provided in this embodiment of the invention is an air conditioning sterilization control device. This device can be a processor integrated into the body of a floor-standing air conditioner in the form of an electronic chip, a central processing unit (CPU), a micro control unit (MCU), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), etc.

[0072] It should be noted that before step 401, the user needs to send an activation command through the transmission medium to activate the working mode of the floor-standing air conditioner, so that the indoor unit in the air conditioning system operates at the default fan speed of the mode, while the outdoor unit operates at the default frequency of the mode.

[0073] The operating modes include, but are not limited to, heating mode, cooling mode, dehumidification mode, etc., and the embodiments of the present invention do not specifically limit them.

[0074] Optionally, the user can transmit activation commands through the control device and the air conditioning system via wireless communication to initialize the air conditioning system into its working mode.

[0075] Optionally, users can issue activation commands via voice interaction. The air conditioning system receives the activation command, performs voice recognition, and initializes the corresponding operating mode.

[0076] Specifically, in step 401, when the air conditioning sterilization control device determines the initial state as the air conditioning unit operating in a certain working mode based on the operating state of the processor in the cabinet air conditioner body, it controls the sterilization device set perpendicular to the cabinet air conditioner body to start, so as to activate the sterilization mode.

[0077] Step 402: If the sterilization mode is successfully activated, control the sterilization device to periodically carry the ionized airflow with the target waveform along the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located to the target indoor space position, so as to accelerate purification by merging with the air conditioning air in the target indoor space position.

[0078] The target indoor spatial location is the intersection of the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located and the vertical plane where the first edge and / or the second edge are located. The target waveform is symmetrical about the axis of symmetry of the sterilization device along its length, and the peak value on the axis of symmetry decreases linearly along both sides. The peak value on the axis of symmetry coincides with the target indoor spatial location.

[0079] Specifically, in step 402, when the air conditioning sterilization control device determines that the sterilization device can normally execute the sterilization mode based on the operating status of the sterilization device, and the sterilization mode has already started to be executed, the sterilization device controls the sterilization device to ionize the indoor air and outputs an ionized airflow with a target waveform in a vertical plane parallel to the sterilization device toward the indoor space.

[0080] The target waveform of the ionized airflow refers to the ionized airflow formed when indoor air is ionized by the sterilization device and then blown outward at different positions in the sterilization device with corresponding power. The ionized airflow can be output the farthest at the center position along the length of the sterilization device, and the outputs on both sides gradually approach the sterilization device, forming a symmetrical arrow shape.

[0081] The ionized airflow of the target waveform merges with the air conditioning air output by the cross-flow fan of the floor-standing air conditioner along its air outlet in the fan-shaped area. By utilizing the inertial impact of the airflow and the easy penetration of the "arrow" shape corresponding to the target waveform, a shear force is formed at the target indoor space location, which accelerates the mixing of the ionized airflow in the air conditioning air, thereby accelerating the diffusion of ions in the room.

[0082] In this embodiment of the invention, when the floor-standing air conditioner is operating in its working mode, the sterilization mode is directly activated. The sterilization device is controlled to periodically output an ionized airflow with a target waveform. This results in the ionized airflow, characterized by the strongest output at the center of the target waveform and gradually weakening at the sides, rapidly penetrating the target indoor space and merging with the airflow from the air conditioner's cross-flow fan. This "arrow-shaped" airflow entry accelerates the mixing of ionized air in the air-conditioned air, increasing the diffusion speed of ions indoors and enhancing the sterilization effect and efficiency.

[0083] Based on any of the above embodiments, when the number of sterilization devices is determined to be 1, controlling the sterilization device to periodically carry the ion airflow with the target waveform along the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located to the target indoor space position includes: simultaneously sending n control commands to n groups of ion wind generating modules, so that all ion wind generating devices in each group of ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding received control commands and periodically output the ion airflow with the target waveform.

[0084] The sterilization device includes n groups of ion wind generating modules arranged in the same vertical line. The first n-1 groups of ion wind generating modules include at least an even number of ion wind generating devices symmetrically arranged above and below the axis of symmetry. The nth group of ion wind generating modules includes at least one ion wind generating device. n is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0085] It should be noted that before step 402, the device needs to be divided into n groups of ion wind generating modules based on the total number of ion wind generating devices in the sterilization device and the number of ion wind generating devices in each group.

[0086] Specifically, in step 402, after determining that only one sterilization device has successfully activated the sterilization mode, the air conditioning sterilization control device sends control commands in the corresponding order to each of the n groups of ion wind generating modules at the same time, thereby controlling the ion wind generating devices in the corresponding group to adjust their fan speed or operating power to the target level corresponding to that order within the current working cycle.

[0087] This invention, through simultaneous independent control of multiple ion air generating modules in the sterilization device, repeats the trend of the strongest output at the center position and the gradually weakening output on both sides in any two adjacent working cycles. It can achieve the periodic output of "arrow-shaped" ion airflow through flexible module combination, accelerate the mixing of sinusoidal ion airflow in the air conditioning air, improve the diffusion speed of ions in the room, enhance the sterilization effect and efficiency, and reduce the construction cost to a certain extent.

[0088] Based on any of the above embodiments, when the number of sterilization devices is determined to be 2, controlling the sterilization devices to periodically carry the ion airflow with the target waveform along the vertical plane where the sterilization devices are located to the target indoor space position includes: sending n1 first control commands to n1 groups of first ion wind generating modules respectively, so that all first ion wind generating devices in each group of first ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding received first control commands; while outputting the ion airflow with the target waveform in the first working cycle, sending n2 second control commands to n2 groups of second ion wind generating modules respectively, so that all second ion wind generating devices in each group of second ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding received second control commands; and keeping the fan speed or operating power of all second ion wind generating devices at the minimum value in the first working cycle.

[0089] Then, n1 third control commands are sent to the n1 group of first ion wind generating modules respectively, so that all first ion wind generating devices in each group of first ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding third control commands. During the second working cycle, while keeping the fan speed or operating power of all first ion wind generating devices at the minimum value, n2 fourth control commands are also sent to the n2 group of second ion wind generating modules respectively, so that all second ion wind generating devices in each group of second ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding fourth control commands. In the second working cycle, an ion airflow with the target waveform is output.

[0090] Where n1 and n2 are both positive integers greater than 1; the second working cycle is the cycle following the first working cycle.

[0091] Specifically, in step 402, after the air conditioning sterilization control device confirms that the first sterilization device and the second sterilization device respectively installed on both sides of the air outlet of the floor-standing air conditioner have successfully activated the sterilization mode, it sends a first control command in the corresponding sequence to each group of first ion wind generating modules in group n1 within the first working cycle. This command controls the first ion wind generating devices in the corresponding group to adjust their fan speed or operating power to the target level corresponding to that sequence within the current cycle, so as to form an ion airflow with a peak output to the target indoor space position on the left side of the air outlet. At the same time, it sends a unified second control command to each group of second ion wind generating modules in group n2, controlling the second ion wind generating devices in the corresponding group to maintain their fan speed or operating power at the minimum value within the current cycle.

[0092] In the following second working cycle, a third control command in the corresponding sequence is sent to each of the second ion wind generating modules in group n2, controlling the second ion wind generating device in the corresponding group to adjust its fan speed or operating power to the target level corresponding to that sequence within this cycle, so as to form an ion airflow that outputs a peak value to the target indoor space location on the right side of the air outlet. At the same time, a unified fourth control command is sent to each of the first ion wind generating modules in group n1, controlling the first ion wind generating device in the corresponding group to maintain its fan speed or operating power at the minimum value within this cycle.

[0093] This invention embodiment independently controls multiple sets of first and second ion wind generating modules in the first and second sterilization devices simultaneously. Within any two adjacent working cycles, it can alternately output ion airflow with the strongest output at the center and gradually weakening output on both sides of the air outlet. Through flexible module combinations, it can achieve the alternating output of "arrow-shaped" ion airflow, accelerate the mixing of sinusoidal ion airflow in the air conditioning air, improve the diffusion speed of ions in the room, enhance the sterilization effect and efficiency, and reduce the construction cost to a certain extent.

[0094] Based on any of the above embodiments, after activating the sterilization mode, the method further includes: sending a fan test command to the sterilization device.

[0095] Specifically, after step 401, after determining that the sterilization mode is activated, the air conditioning sterilization control device encapsulates the control command for increasing the fan speed of the sterilization device from 0 to the rated maximum speed into a fan test command and sends it to the sterilization device to test whether the sterilization device can start normally.

[0096] If, according to the fan test results fed back by the sterilization device, the fan speed of all ion wind generating modules increases from the minimum value to the maximum value, then the sterilization mode is considered to have been successfully activated.

[0097] If, according to the fan test results fed back by the sterilization device, the fan speed of at least one ion wind generating module fails to increase from the minimum value to the maximum value, the sterilization mode activation is deemed to have failed, and an alarm message is sent to the control terminal of the floor-standing air conditioner.

[0098] The fan test results are obtained by the sterilization device in response to the fan test command.

[0099] It should be noted that the sterilization device receives and responds to the fan test command, organizes the operating status of each fan in the sterilization device into the fan test results, and uploads the fan test results to the air conditioning sterilization control device.

[0100] Specifically, the air conditioning sterilization control device determines whether the sterilization device can successfully activate the sterilization mode based on the fan test results fed back by the sterilization device, wherein: If the air conditioning sterilization control device analyzes the fan test results and finds that each fan of the sterilization device can be successfully started and the fan speed can be successfully increased from 0 to the maximum value, then the sterilization device can be determined to have successfully activated the sterilization mode.

[0101] If the air conditioning sterilization control device determines, based on the fan test results, that at least one fan of the sterilization device has failed to start successfully, or that the fan speed of at least one fan has failed to rise from 0 to the maximum value, then the sterilization device is deemed unable to successfully activate the sterilization mode and an alarm message is sent to the control terminal of the floor-standing air conditioner.

[0102] The alarm information includes, but is not limited to, text information, audio-visual information, etc. The alarm information can guide users of remote terminals to pay attention to the malfunction of the sterilization device, and can also guide users to locate the cause of the malfunction and the faulty component of the sterilization device.

[0103] In this embodiment of the invention, after determining that the sterilization mode needs to be activated, a decision is made to send a fan test command to the sterilization device. Based on the fan test results returned by the sterilization device in response to the fan test command, it is determined whether the performance of the sterilization device can support the activation of the sterilization mode. This ensures that the sterilization device can achieve the expected working performance and avoids poor sterilization completion due to its own malfunction.

[0104] Based on any of the above embodiments, before activating the sterilization mode, the method further includes: activating the air supply mode if it is determined that the initial state of the floor-standing air conditioner is not the operating state.

[0105] Specifically, before step 401, the air conditioning sterilization control device determines the initial state as the air conditioner body is in a closed state, i.e., it is not operating in any working mode, based on the operating state of the processor in the cabinet air conditioner body, and then controls the cabinet air conditioner to activate the air supply mode.

[0106] There are no specific restrictions on the fan speed of the floor-standing air conditioner involved in the activated air supply mode.

[0107] Preferably, when the air conditioner sterilization control device determines that the floor-standing air conditioner is off, it controls the floor-standing air conditioner to start the air supply mode corresponding to the high fan speed setting to accelerate airflow.

[0108] Once the air supply mode is confirmed to be on, activate the sterilization mode.

[0109] Specifically, the air conditioning sterilization control device determines that after the air conditioner body has successfully switched from the initial off state to the air supply mode based on the operating status of the fan in the air conditioner body, it controls the sterilization device set perpendicular to the air conditioner body to start, so as to activate the sterilization mode.

[0110] In this embodiment of the invention, when it is determined that the floor-standing air conditioner is not operating in any mode, the decision is made to first activate the air supply mode and then activate the sterilization mode. This involves controlling the sterilization device to generate a sinusoidal ion airflow that alternates between adjacent cycles. This allows the dynamic sinusoidal ion airflow to merge with the air conditioning air generated in the air supply mode, creating maximum shear stress at the target indoor location. This maximum shear stress accelerates the mixing of the sinusoidal ion airflow within the air conditioning air, increasing the diffusion rate of ions indoors and enhancing the sterilization effect and efficiency.

[0111] Based on any of the above embodiments, after periodically carrying the ion gas flow with the target waveform along the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located to the target indoor space position, the method further includes: when the runtime of the sterilization mode is determined to be greater than or equal to a preset threshold, sending a shutdown command to the sterilization device so that the sterilization device can stop operating according to the shutdown command.

[0112] Specifically, after step 402, the air conditioning sterilization control device statistically analyzes the working cycle of the sterilization device and compares the statistically analyzed runtime of the sterilization mode with a preset threshold for the runtime of the sterilization mode: If the duration of the sterilization mode is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it is determined that the sterilization mode has achieved the preset sterilization effect within the current duration of operation. In this case, a shutdown command can be sent to the sterilization device to instruct it to stop the operation of each component and end the sterilization mode.

[0113] If the duration of the sterilization mode is less than the preset threshold, it is determined that the sterilization mode has not yet achieved the preset sterilization effect within the current duration of operation, and the sterilization device continues to operate continuously.

[0114] In this embodiment of the invention, the value of the preset threshold is not specifically limited.

[0115] For example, the preset threshold can be flexibly set according to the size of the indoor space.

[0116] For example, the preset threshold can also be set to a general fixed value based on empirical data, such as 10 minutes.

[0117] If the sterilization device stops operating, a status restoration command is sent to the floor-standing air conditioner so that the floor-standing air conditioner can restore itself to its initial state according to the status restoration command.

[0118] Specifically, when the air conditioning sterilization control device determines that the sterilization device has stopped operating based on its operating status, it encapsulates the control command for driving the floor-standing air conditioner to return to its initial state into a state restoration command and sends it to the floor-standing air conditioner.

[0119] This invention verifies the sterilization effect by measuring the runtime of the sterilization mode. After the preset runtime is reached, a decision is made to stop the sterilization device's operation via a shutdown command, and a state restoration command is used to restore the floor-standing air conditioner to its initial state. This enables automated control throughout the entire lifecycle of the sterilization operation, stopping operation after confirming the achievement of the expected sterilization effect, thus saving energy.

[0120] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the air conditioning sterilization control device provided by the present invention. Based on any of the above embodiments, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioning sterilization control device provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a first sterilization activation module 510 and a sterilization operation module 520, wherein: The first sterilization activation module 510 is used to activate the sterilization mode when the initial state of the cabinet air conditioner is determined to be the working state.

[0121] The sterilization module 520 is used to control the sterilization device to periodically carry the ionized airflow with the target waveform along the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located to the target indoor space position when the sterilization mode is successfully activated, so as to accelerate the purification by merging with the air conditioning air in the target indoor space position.

[0122] The target indoor spatial location is the intersection of the vertical plane where the sterilization device is located and the vertical plane where the first edge and / or the second edge are located. The target waveform is symmetrical about the axis of symmetry of the sterilization device along its length, and the peak value on the axis of symmetry decreases linearly along both sides. The peak value on the axis of symmetry coincides with the target indoor spatial location.

[0123] Specifically, the first sterilization activation module 510 and the sterilization operation module 520 are electrically connected in sequence.

[0124] The first sterilization activation module 510 determines the initial state as the air conditioner body operating in a certain working mode based on the operating state of the processor in the air conditioner body. Then, it controls the sterilization device set perpendicular to the air conditioner body to start, so as to activate the sterilization mode.

[0128] Optionally, the sterilization module 520 is specifically used to send n1 first control commands to n1 groups of first ion wind generating modules respectively, so that all first ion wind generating devices in each group of first ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding first control commands. While outputting an ion airflow with a target waveform in the first working cycle, it also sends n2 second control commands to n2 groups of second ion wind generating modules respectively, so that all second ion wind generating devices in each group of second ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding second control commands. During the first working cycle, the fan speed or operating power of all second ion wind generating devices is kept at the minimum value.

[0129] The sterilization module 520 is also specifically used to send n1 third control commands to the n1 groups of first ion wind generating modules respectively, so that all the first ion wind generating devices in each group of first ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding third control commands. During the second working cycle, while keeping the fan speed or operating power of all the first ion wind generating devices at the minimum value, it also sends n2 fourth control commands to the n2 groups of second ion wind generating modules respectively, so that all the second ion wind generating devices in each group of second ion wind generating modules can simultaneously respond to the corresponding fourth control commands, and output an ion airflow with the target waveform during the second working cycle.

[0130] Where n1 and n2 are both positive integers greater than 1. The second working cycle is the cycle following the first working cycle.

[0131] Optionally, the device further includes a test module and a test response module, wherein: The testing module is used to send fan test commands to the sterilization device.

[0132] The test response module is used to determine that the sterilization mode is successfully activated if the fan speed of all ion wind generating modules increases from the minimum value to the maximum value according to the fan test results fed back by the sterilization device.

[0133] The test response module is also used to determine that the sterilization mode activation has failed if the fan speed of at least one ion wind generating module has not increased from the minimum value to the maximum value according to the fan test results fed back by the sterilization device, and to send an alarm message to the control terminal of the floor-standing air conditioner.

[0134] The fan test results are obtained by the sterilization device in response to the fan test command.

[0135] Optionally, the device further includes an air supply activation module and a second sterilization activation module, wherein: The air supply activation module is used to activate the air supply mode when it is determined that the initial state of the floor-standing air conditioner is not in an operating state.

[0137] Optionally, the device further includes a sterilization shutdown module and a state recovery module, wherein: The sterilization shutdown module is used to send a shutdown command to the sterilization device when the runtime of the sterilization mode is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, so that the sterilization device can stop operating according to the shutdown command.

[0138] The status recovery module is used to send a status recovery command to the floor-standing air conditioner when it is determined that the sterilization device has stopped operating, so that the floor-standing air conditioner can restore to its initial state according to the status recovery command.
