Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular relates to an air conditioning control method, an air conditioner, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their demand for air conditioning is no longer limited to temperature regulation, but also includes the demand for air quality and fresh air odor.

[0003] Some air conditioners on the market improve indoor air quality by adding a fresh air module to exchange indoor and outdoor air, and by adding an aromatherapy module to blow scented air into the room. The fragrance can help users maintain a good mood and even promote sleep. However, in current technology, the fresh air module and aromatherapy module are controlled independently, which is not intelligent enough and does not take into account the interaction between the two modules, resulting in poor effectiveness of both.

[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] This application provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, which can be a floor-standing air conditioner, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a central air conditioner, or other types of air conditioners. For example, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a first flowchart of an air conditioner control method provided in an embodiment of this application. The air conditioner includes an aromatherapy module and a fresh air module. The aromatherapy module is used to release fragrance substances, and the fresh air module is used to exchange indoor air with outdoor air. Exemplarily, the control method of this application is executed by the air conditioner control module. The air conditioner control method includes the following steps S101-S103:

[0058] Step S101: Determine the target concentration threshold of indoor organic gaseous substances based on the operating status of the aromatherapy module;

[0059] It should be noted that the aromatherapy module's operating status includes both on and off states. Before determining the target concentration threshold of indoor organic gaseous substances based on the aromatherapy module's operating status, the air conditioner's control module may respond to user commands to control the aromatherapy module to enter or exit the on / off state, or it may control the aromatherapy module to enter or exit the on / off state based on the detected odor concentration in the indoor air, or it may control the aromatherapy module to open or close based on other control factors.

[0060] In this application, "indoor" refers to the room where the air conditioner is located. Outdoor sources of indoor organic gaseous substances are mainly fuel combustion and transportation; while indoor sources mainly include combustion products of coal and natural gas, smoke from smoking, heating, and cooking, adhesives, paints, varnishes, boards, wallpaper, etc., in building and decoration materials, furniture, household appliances, furniture and cleaning agents, and emissions from the human body itself. Additionally, aromatherapy modules installed in air conditioners also release organic gaseous substances into the room, leading to an increase in indoor organic gaseous substance concentration. However, excessively high indoor organic gaseous substance concentrations can harm the health of people living indoors, and can be considered indicative of poor indoor air quality.

[0061] The target concentration threshold is used as a standard to determine the current indoor air quality. For example, if the current concentration of organic gaseous substances in the room is higher than the target concentration threshold, the air quality is considered poor; otherwise, the air quality is considered acceptable.

[0062] Step S102: Obtain the first concentration value of indoor organic gaseous substances;

[0063] For example, the air conditioner is equipped with a detection device for detecting the concentration of organic gaseous substances in the room, and the control module is connected to the detection device to obtain the first concentration value of the organic gaseous substances in the room at any time.

[0064] Step S103: If the first concentration value exceeds the target concentration threshold, then the fresh air module is turned on.

[0065] The system utilizes a fresh air module to exchange indoor and outdoor air, thereby reducing the concentration of organic gaseous substances indoors. Once activated, the fresh air module will shut down when the detected concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances reaches a preset threshold. For example, if the detected concentration is below a target concentration threshold, the fresh air module will shut down; or, if the detected concentration is below a shutdown concentration threshold, the fresh air module will shut down. The shutdown concentration threshold is lower than the target concentration threshold.

[0066] It's understandable that when the air conditioner's aromatherapy function is off, using a standard concentration threshold as the criterion for determining whether the fresh air module needs to be activated for ventilation is problematic. However, when the aromatherapy function is on, the aromatherapy itself increases the concentration of organic gaseous substances indoors. Therefore, if the fresh air module's operation is still controlled based on the standard concentration threshold, the aromatherapy concentration might not have reached the ideal level when the fresh air module is activated, and it would gradually decrease due to ventilation, resulting in poor aromatherapy effectiveness and a negative user experience. On the other hand, if the concentration threshold is set too high to ensure the aromatherapy module's effectiveness, the fresh air module may be difficult to activate, potentially leading to prolonged periods of poor indoor air quality and impacting human health. Therefore, it is more reasonable to use different concentration thresholds for determining whether the fresh air module needs to be activated when the air conditioner's aromatherapy module is on and off.

[0067] The air conditioning control method provided in this application determines the target concentration threshold based on the operating status of the aromatherapy module. It uses the corresponding concentration threshold as the standard for determining whether the fresh air module needs to be turned on when the aromatherapy module is on or off. This improves the intelligence of the control of both the fresh air module and the aromatherapy module, avoids mutual interference between them, ensures that both modules have good effects, and enhances the user experience.

[0068] For example, determining the target concentration threshold of indoor organic gaseous substances based on the operating status of the aromatherapy module includes:

[0069] If the aromatherapy module is in the off state, the target concentration threshold of indoor organic gaseous substances is determined to be the first preset concentration threshold.

[0070] If the aromatherapy module is turned on, the target concentration threshold of indoor organic gaseous substances is determined to be the second preset concentration threshold, which is greater than the first preset concentration threshold.

[0071] The first and second preset concentration thresholds can be selected by the designer according to actual needs, such as referring to the "Indoor Environmental Pollution Control Standard for Civil Building Engineering" promulgated by the state. The first and second preset concentration thresholds are pre-stored in the memory of the control module. For example, the memory stores a one-to-one correspondence between the operating status of multiple aromatherapy modules and multiple preset concentration thresholds, so that the controller can retrieve the corresponding preset concentration threshold according to the operating status of the aromatherapy module.

[0072] Understandably, since the aromatherapy module increases the concentration of organic gaseous substances in the room when it is turned on, the target preset concentration when the aromatherapy module is turned on is greater than the target preset concentration when the aromatherapy module is turned off. This can avoid the problem of the aromatherapy module failing to reach the ideal concentration. At the same time, the fresh air module can also be triggered to turn on when the indoor air quality is poor, protecting the health of indoor users.

[0073] In some embodiments, the control method of this application further includes:

[0074] When the aromatherapy module is on, if the value of the first organic gaseous substance exceeds the indoor organic gaseous substance threshold, it is determined whether the air conditioner is currently in heating mode.

[0075] If the air conditioner is currently in heating mode, reduce the airflow speed.

[0076] In heating mode, the hot air from the air conditioner causes the fragrance from the aromatherapy module to evaporate at a higher rate, increasing the rate at which the indoor aromatherapy concentration rises. Therefore, to prevent the indoor aromatherapy concentration from rising too quickly and causing the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances to remain high for an extended period, the rate at which the indoor aromatherapy concentration rises can be slowed down by reducing the airflow speed, ensuring that the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances quickly decreases to a safe level.

[0077] If the air conditioner is not currently in heating mode, the air conditioner's fan speed will not be adjusted.

[0078] It should be noted that the air conditioner's fan speed can be adjusted according to the air conditioner's operating mode after the fresh air module is turned on, or it can be adjusted according to the air conditioner's operating mode before the fresh air module is turned on. For an example, please refer to [link to example]. Figure 2 , Figure 2 A second flowchart illustrating an air conditioner control method provided in this application embodiment. The control method includes the following steps S1-S10:

[0079] Step S1: Determine if the aromatherapy module is turned on;

[0080] If the aromatherapy module is not turned on, proceed to step S2; otherwise, proceed to step S5.

[0081] Step S2: Determine whether the current indoor concentration of organic gaseous substances is higher than the first preset concentration value;

[0082] If the current indoor organic gaseous substance concentration value is higher than the first preset concentration value, proceed to step S3; otherwise, proceed to step S4.

[0083] Step S3: Control the fresh air module to turn on, and return to step S1;

[0084] Step S4: Control the fresh air module to shut down and return to step S2;

[0085] Step S5: Determine whether the first concentration value of the current indoor organic gaseous substances is higher than the second preset concentration value;

[0086] If the first concentration value of the organic gaseous substances in the room is higher than the second preset concentration value, proceed to step S6; otherwise, proceed to step S7.

[0087] Step S6: Control the activation of the fresh air module until the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances drops below the second preset concentration value;

[0088] In some embodiments, the aromatherapy module can also be configured as a device with an adjustable opening degree. In this case, based on an air conditioner including an adjustable aromatherapy module, step S6 can be replaced by controlling the activation of the fresh air module and reducing the opening degree of the aromatherapy module until the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances drops below a second preset concentration value. This improves the efficiency of reducing the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances and reduces the harm caused by poor air quality to indoor users.

[0089] Step S7: Control the fresh air module to shut down and return to step S5.

[0090] Step S8: Determine if the air conditioner is in heating mode;

[0091] If the air conditioner is in heating mode, proceed to step S9; otherwise, proceed to step S10.

[0092] Step S9: Reduce the airflow speed of the air conditioner and return to step S1.

[0093] Step S10: Keep the airflow speed of the air conditioner constant and return to step S1.

[0094] In some embodiments, the fresh air module can be configured as a variable frequency fresh air device to reduce the power consumption of the fresh air module. Therefore, the control method of this application, after turning on the fresh air module, further includes:

[0095] If the aromatherapy module is on, monitor the duration of the fresh air module's operation and the second concentration value of indoor organic gaseous substances.

[0096] The operating status of the fresh air module and / or aromatherapy module is controlled based on the activation duration, the second concentration value, and the second preset concentration threshold.

[0097] The activation duration can be recorded by a timer in the control module, and the activation duration can be fed back to the controller.

[0098] In practical applications, the fresh air module can be controlled to turn on at the lowest frequency, or the target frequency for turning on the fresh air module can be determined based on the difference between the first concentration value and the target concentration value, and the fresh air module can be turned on at the target frequency. For example, the target frequency for turning on the fresh air module can be determined based on the difference between the first concentration value and the target concentration value, where the difference and the target frequency are positively correlated.

[0099] After the fresh air module is turned on, it will be shut down once the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances reaches a preset condition. For example, if the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances is detected to be lower than the second preset concentration value mentioned above, the fresh air module will be shut down; or, if the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances is detected to be lower than the third preset concentration value mentioned above, the fresh air module will be shut down, wherein the third preset concentration value is less than the second preset concentration value.

[0100] On the other hand, if, after the fresh air module is turned on, it is detected that the reduction effect on the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances is not significant when the fresh air module is running at the current frequency, the efficiency of reducing the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances can be improved by increasing the operating frequency of the fresh air module. For example, controlling the operating state of the fresh air module and / or the aromatherapy module based on the operating duration, the second concentration value, and the second preset concentration threshold may include:

[0101] If the second concentration value is greater than the second preset concentration threshold after the activation time reaches the first preset time, the air velocity of the fresh air module will be increased.

[0102] If the second concentration value is greater than the second preset concentration threshold after the activation time reaches the second preset time, then the aromatherapy module will be turned off. The second preset time is longer than the first preset time.

[0103] If the second concentration value remains higher than the second preset concentration threshold after the first preset operating time, it indicates that the fresh air module's current operating frequency is not significantly effective in reducing the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances. Therefore, increasing the airflow rate of the fresh air module is necessary to accelerate the reduction of indoor organic gaseous substance concentration. This can be achieved by increasing the operating frequency of the fresh air module at preset intervals until it reaches its maximum, or by adjusting the operating frequency to its maximum all at once. Alternatively, a target increase frequency can be determined based on the difference between the second concentration value and the second preset concentration threshold after the first preset operating time, and the fresh air module can be controlled to increase its operating frequency accordingly.

[0104] If the second concentration value is still greater than the second preset concentration threshold after the second preset duration has been reached, it indicates that the current concentration of organic gaseous substances in the room may be too high, or that there may be a continuous influx of organic gaseous substances such as cooking fumes into the room. Therefore, in order to avoid harming human health, the aromatherapy module can be turned off until the second concentration value is less than the second preset concentration threshold.

[0105] For example, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A third flowchart of an air conditioner control method provided in this application embodiment. The air conditioner control method includes the following steps S001-S0015:

[0106] Step S001: Determine whether the aromatherapy module is turned on;

[0107] If the aromatherapy module is not turned on, proceed to step S002; otherwise, proceed to step S005.

[0108] Step S002: Determine whether the current indoor concentration of organic gaseous substances is higher than the first preset concentration value;

[0109] If the current indoor organic gaseous substance concentration value is higher than the first preset concentration value, proceed to step S003; otherwise, proceed to step S004.

[0110] Step S003: Control the fresh air module to turn on, and return to step S001;

[0111] Step S004: Control the fresh air module to shut down and return to step S002;

[0112] Step S005: Determine whether the current indoor concentration of organic gaseous substances is higher than the second preset concentration value;

[0113] If the first concentration value of the organic gaseous substance in the room is higher than the second preset concentration value, proceed to step S006; otherwise, return to step S001.

[0114] Step S006: Determine whether the air conditioner is in heating mode;

[0115] If the air conditioner is in heating mode, proceed to step S007; otherwise, proceed to step S008.

[0116] Step S007: Reduce the airflow speed of the air conditioner;

[0117] Step S008: Maintain the current airflow speed of the air conditioner and proceed to step S0010;

[0118] Step S009: After waiting for the first duration, determine whether the second concentration value of the current indoor organic gaseous substances is higher than the second preset concentration value;

[0119] If the second concentration value of the organic gaseous substance in the room is higher than the second preset concentration value, proceed to step S0010; otherwise, proceed to step S0011.

[0120] Step S0010: Control the fresh air module to turn on until the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances drops below the second preset concentration value;

[0121] Step S0011: Control the fresh air module to shut down and return to step S009.

[0122] Step S0012: After waiting for the second duration, determine whether the second concentration value of the current indoor organic gaseous substances is higher than the second preset concentration value;

[0123] If the second concentration value of the organic gaseous substance in the room is higher than the second preset concentration value, proceed to step S0013; otherwise, return to step S0011.

[0124] Step S0013: Increase the operating frequency of the fresh air module;

[0125] Step S0014: After waiting for the third time period, determine whether the second concentration value of the current indoor organic gaseous substances is higher than the second preset concentration value;

[0126] If the second concentration value of the organic gaseous substance in the room is higher than the second preset concentration value, proceed to step S0015; otherwise, return to step S0011.

[0127] Step S0015: Control the aromatherapy module to turn off.

[0128] Because the fresh air module generates considerable noise during operation, which can easily disrupt users' sleep, in some embodiments, the control method of this application further includes the following before turning on the fresh air module:

[0129] Obtain the user's sleep state information, including whether the user is in the first sleep state, the second sleep state, or the awake state;

[0130] Activating the fresh air module includes:

[0131] If the sleep status information indicates that the user is in the first sleep state or the user is awake, the fresh air module will be activated immediately.

[0132] If the sleep status information indicates that the user is in a second sleep state, the fresh air module will remain closed until the user enters a first sleep state or a waking state before the fresh air module is turned on.

[0133] It should be noted that when users are awake or in their first sleep state, their requirements for indoor quietness are not high, or they are not easily awakened by noise. Therefore, the fresh air module can be turned on normally for indoor air purification. However, when users are in their second sleep state, their requirements for indoor quietness are higher, especially for those who are light sleepers. Therefore, the fresh air module should be kept off until the user enters their first sleep state or awake state before turning it on.

[0134] In some embodiments, if the first concentration value exceeds the target concentration threshold, and the user is in a second sleep state, other measures can be taken to reduce the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances. For example, if the aromatherapy module is currently on, the opening degree of the aromatherapy module can be reduced or the aromatherapy module can be turned off to reduce the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances.

[0135] Human sleep consists of four stages: the sleep onset stage, REM sleep stage, light sleep stage, and deep sleep stage. For example, sleep states can be categorized as wakefulness, sleep onset, REM sleep, light sleep, or deep sleep. For instance, the first sleep state includes deep sleep, and the second sleep state includes sleep onset, REM sleep, and light sleep.

[0136] In practical applications, if the user is in a state of falling asleep, REM sleep, or light sleep, the fresh air module will not be turned on when the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances is detected to be greater than the target concentration threshold, and will only be turned on after the user enters a deep sleep or wakes up.

[0137] It should be noted that the air conditioner can communicate with wearable devices such as wristbands and smart glasses to obtain the user's sleep status information. It can also analyze the user's sleep status information through built-in infrared devices and image acquisition devices. No specific limitation is made here.

[0138] On the other hand, controlling the appropriate aromatherapy concentration in the room at different sleep stages can prolong the proportion of deep sleep in the entire sleep time and improve sleep quality. Therefore, the control method of this application may further include, when the aromatherapy module is in the on state, if the sleep state information is detected to indicate that the user is in a first sleep state, obtaining a third concentration value of indoor organic gaseous substances;

[0139] The opening degree of the aromatherapy module is controlled according to the third concentration value in order to maintain the actual concentration value of indoor organic gaseous substances within the target concentration range.

[0140] It should be noted that the target concentration range can be set by the designer according to actual needs. When the actual concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances is within the target concentration range, the user's deep sleep duration can be extended, thereby improving the user's sleep quality.

[0141] For example, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 A fourth flowchart of an air conditioner control method provided in an embodiment of this application. With the aromatherapy module in the on state, the control method includes the following steps S0001-S0006:

[0142] Step S0001: Determine if the user is asleep;

[0143] If the user is asleep, proceed to step S0002; otherwise, return to step S0001.

[0144] Step S0002: Determine if the user is in a deep sleep state;

[0145] If the user is in a deep sleep state, proceed to step S0005; otherwise, proceed to step S0003.

[0146] Step S0003: Determine whether the current concentration of organic gaseous substances in the room is greater than the second preset concentration threshold;

[0147] If the current indoor concentration of organic gaseous substances is greater than the second preset concentration threshold, proceed to step S0004; otherwise, return to step S0003.

[0148] Step S0004: Reduce or turn off the opening of the aromatherapy module.

[0149] Step S0005: Obtain the third concentration value of the current indoor organic gaseous substances;

[0150] Step S0006: Control the opening degree of the aromatherapy module according to the third concentration value to maintain the actual concentration value of indoor organic gaseous substances within the target concentration range.

[0151] For example, the target concentration range is between a third preset concentration threshold and a fourth preset concentration threshold, where the third preset concentration threshold is less than the fourth preset concentration threshold, and the fourth preset concentration threshold can be equal to or less than the aforementioned second preset concentration threshold. Controlling the opening of the aromatherapy module based on the third concentration value to maintain the actual concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances within the target concentration range includes:

[0152] If the third concentration value is less than or equal to the third preset concentration threshold, then increase the opening degree of the aromatherapy module;

[0153] If the third concentration value is greater than the third preset concentration threshold and less than or equal to the fourth preset concentration threshold, the opening of the aromatherapy module will remain unchanged.

[0154] If the third concentration value is greater than the fourth preset concentration threshold, the fresh air module will be activated.

[0155] It should be noted that when the user is in deep sleep, the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances is maintained between the third and fourth preset concentration thresholds. The purpose is to maintain the indoor aromatherapy concentration at a level that can prolong the user's deep sleep, thereby improving the user's sleep quality. The third and fourth preset concentration thresholds are set by the designers according to actual needs.

[0156] The air conditioning control method provided in this application determines a target concentration threshold based on the operating status of the aromatherapy module. This threshold is used to determine whether the fresh air module needs to be activated, whether the aromatherapy module is on or off. This improves the intelligence of the control of both the fresh air and aromatherapy modules, preventing them from interfering with each other and ensuring both modules function effectively, thus enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the method also detects the user's sleep state and adjusts the aromatherapy module's opening level according to the sleep stage, maintaining the indoor aromatherapy concentration within the target threshold to improve sleep quality. It also controls the fresh air module's opening and closing based on the user's sleep stage to prevent noise from disturbing sleep, providing a better user experience.

[0157] This application also provides an air conditioner, for example, please refer to [link to example]. Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a first structure of an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of this application. The air conditioner 100 includes an aromatherapy module 110, a fresh air module 120, a detection module 170, and a control module 130.

[0158] The aromatherapy module 110 is used to release volatile fragrance substances. The fresh air module 120 is used to exchange indoor and outdoor air. The detection module 170 is used to detect the concentration of indoor organic gaseous substances. The control module 130 is connected to the aromatherapy module 110, the fresh air module 120, and the detection module 170, and is used to: determine the target concentration threshold of indoor organic gaseous substances based on the operating status of the aromatherapy module 110; obtain the first concentration value of indoor organic gaseous substances; and if the first concentration value exceeds the target concentration threshold, activate the fresh air module 120.

[0159] For further details, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a second structure of an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of this application. The air conditioner 100 also includes an air guide plate 140, a drive component 150, and a transmission module 160.

[0160] The air guide plate 140 is installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner 100. The transmission module 160 is connected to the output end of the drive unit 150. The aromatherapy module 110 and the air guide plate 140 are both connected to the transmission module 160. The drive unit 150 drives the aromatherapy module 110 and the air guide plate 140 simultaneously through the transmission module 160, so as to simultaneously adjust the opening degree of the aromatherapy module 110 and the air guiding angle of the air guide plate 140.

[0161] In practical applications, the opening degree of the aromatherapy module 110 is adjusted synchronously with the air guide angle of the air deflector 140. For example, the lower the air guide angle of the air deflector 140, the greater the opening degree of the aromatherapy module and the more fragrance is released; the higher the air guide angle of the air deflector 140, the smaller the opening degree of the aromatherapy module and the less fragrance is released. In this way, a single drive unit can simultaneously drive both the aromatherapy module 110 and the air deflector 140, saving costs and energy consumption, and reducing the space occupied by the drive unit inside the air conditioner 100.

[0162] For example, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the transmission module provided in an embodiment of this application. The transmission module 160 includes a first gear 161 and a second gear 162.

[0163] The first gear 161 is connected to the output end of the drive unit 150, and the second gear 162 is meshed with or driven by the first gear 161. The opening adjustment valve of the aromatherapy module 110 is connected to the output end of the second gear 162. The drive unit 150 drives the first gear 161 to drive the second gear 162, thereby driving the opening adjustment valve of the aromatherapy module 110 to adjust the opening of the aromatherapy module 110.

[0164] The air conditioner 100 provided in this application embodiment determines the target concentration threshold based on the operating status of the aromatherapy module 110. In the on and off states of the aromatherapy module 110, the corresponding concentration threshold is used as the standard for determining whether the fresh air module 120 needs to be turned on. This improves the intelligence of the control of the fresh air module 120 and the aromatherapy module 110, avoids mutual interference between them, ensures that both modules have good effects, and enhances the user experience.

[0165] This application also provides a storage medium storing a computer program, which executes the above-described air conditioner control method when the computer program is run.
