[0031] The present application provides a control method of an air conditioner.
[0032] Figure 1 is a method schematic diagram of an embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner provided by the present application;
[0033] As Figure 1As shown, according to one embodiment of the present application, the control method of the air conditioner comprises at least steps S110, S120, S130 and S140.
[0034] In step S110, the task parameters of the last start-up task of the air conditioner are acquired, and the longest running time required for the air conditioner to run in the first working mode is acquired.
[0035] The task parameters can include the set temperature and the set start-up time of the air conditioner. For example, the set temperature T 设定 and the start-up time t 设定 may be set by the user. For example, the user can set the favorite temperature T 设定 and the start-up time t 设定 through a mobile phone APP, and save the user's settings in the memory.
[0036] The air conditioner comprises a first working mode and a second working mode. The power consumption of the first working mode is lower than that of the second working mode. For example, the first working mode is a low-power-consumption mode, and the second working mode is a high-power-consumption mode.
[0037] In one specific embodiment, acquiring the longest running time required for the air conditioner to run in the first working mode comprises: acquiring the pre-set air conditioner running parameters in the first working mode; the longest running time required for the air conditioner to run in the first working mode can be acquired from the pre-set air conditioner running parameters in the first working mode, and the air conditioner running parameters in the first working mode include: the reference time, the temperature change rate and the energy consumption value required for adjusting different indoor environment temperatures to each of the two or more than two debugging temperatures in the preset debugging temperatures when the air conditioner runs in the first working mode under different outdoor environment temperatures. Each set of outdoor environment temperature, indoor environment temperature and debugging temperature corresponds to a set of more than one reference time, temperature change rate and energy consumption value.
[0038] The air conditioner operating parameters in the first working mode can be obtained through testing under standard conditions. The standard conditions refer to the air conditioner being fully functional, the test space (e.g., a laboratory) being the maximum effective heat exchange (cooling or heating) space for that air conditioner model, and the air conditioner operating in the first working mode, such as a low-energy consumption mode. For example, under the above conditions, testing is performed at different outdoor ambient temperatures (e.g., -10℃, -8℃, -6℃, ..., 36℃, 38℃, 40℃) and different indoor ambient temperatures (e.g., -10℃, -8℃, -6℃, ..., 36℃, 38℃, 40℃), while the indoor-outdoor temperature difference is less than or equal to a preset temperature difference threshold (e.g., not greater than 20℃). The baseline time, temperature change rate, and energy consumption value for each of the two or more preset adjustable temperatures (e.g., temperature values adjustable by the remote control) are recorded, for example, [t]. A1 V A1 E A1 ], [t A2 V A2 E A2 ], [t A3 V A3 E A3 ]…[t An -2, V An-2 E An-2 ], [t An-1 V An-1 E An-1 ], [t An V An E An ]. Among them, t Ai V represents the reference time. Ai E represents the rate of temperature change. Ai The values represent energy consumption, where i = 1, 2, 3, ..., n; preferably, the pre-set air conditioning operating parameters in the first operating mode can be saved as an air conditioning operating parameter table in the first operating mode, that is, the parameters obtained from the test can be used as the system low energy consumption parameter table X. 表L storage.
[0039] Specifically, the longest reference time is obtained from the air conditioner operating parameters in the first operating mode as the longest operating time required for the air conditioner to operate in the first operating mode. For example, the low energy consumption parameter table X mentioned above is obtained. 表L From the low energy consumption parameter table X 表L Get the longest duration t from the middle Ai That is, Max(X) 表L [t Ai ].
[0040] Step S120, when the time difference between the current time and the set-up start time reaches the maximum running time, obtaining the current indoor environment temperature and outdoor environment temperature.
[0041] Specifically, when the time difference between the current time and the set-up start time reaches the maximum running time, i.e., the current time reaches the difference between the set-up start time and the maximum running time, i.e., t 当前 = t 设定 -Max(X 表L [t A ]), the current indoor environment temperature and outdoor environment temperature are obtained.
[0042] Step S130, obtaining the first preset running parameter for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature when the air conditioner runs in the first working mode at the current outdoor environment temperature.
[0043] Specifically, the preset air conditioner running parameter in the first working mode is obtained; and the preset running parameter for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature at the current outdoor environment temperature when the air conditioner runs in the first working mode is obtained from the air conditioner running parameter in the first working mode.
[0044] The first preset running parameter can specifically include the reference time required for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature, the temperature change rate, and the energy consumption value. The air conditioner running parameter in the first working mode includes the reference time required for adjusting different indoor environment temperatures to each of the preset two or more than two debugging temperatures at different outdoor environment temperatures when the air conditioner runs in the first working mode, the temperature change rate, and the energy consumption value. The setting mode of the air conditioner running parameter in the first working mode can refer to the specific embodiments in the foregoing step S110, which will not be described here.
[0045] Step S140, when the time difference between the current time and the set-up start time reaches the reference time, controlling the air conditioner to start and run in the first working mode and controlling the air conditioner according to the first preset running parameter.
[0046] Specifically, when the current time t 当前 reaches the difference between the set-up start time t 设定 and the reference time t 低能耗1 , i.e., t 当前 = t 设定 -t 低能耗1 , the air conditioner is controlled to start and run in the first working mode.
[0047] For example, based on indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures and the user's preferred temperature (set temperature), look up the system's low-energy consumption parameter table X. 表L Determine the relevant parameters for completing the task with low energy consumption [t] 低能耗1 V 低能耗1 E 低能耗1 ], t 低能耗1 V is the base time. 低能耗1 E represents the rate of temperature change. 低能耗1 Energy consumption. At t 当前 =t 设定 -t 低能耗1 At that time, the air conditioner was turned on and running.
[0048] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the air conditioner control method provided by the present invention.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner control method further includes steps S150, S160, S170 and S180.
[0050] Step S150: When the air conditioner is running in the first working mode, obtain the running time of the air conditioner in the first working mode and the actual rate of change of the indoor ambient temperature.
[0051] Specifically, the task parameters may further include: a preset time consumption threshold Δt 阈值 The preset time threshold can be set by the user. For example, the user can set their preferred temperature T via a mobile app. 设定 Boot time t 设定 and time consumption threshold Δt 阈值 Save the user's settings to the storage.
[0052] The actual rate of change of indoor ambient temperature V 低能耗1实际 Based on the indoor ambient temperature T at the time of power-on 开机 Current indoor ambient temperature T 当前 and the running time t of the air conditioner operating in the first working mode. 低能耗1已运行 Calculation, i.e., V 低能耗1实际 =(T 开机 -T 当前 ) / t 低能耗1已运行 .
[0053] Step S160: Calculate the estimated time required for the indoor ambient temperature to reach the set temperature based on the current indoor ambient temperature, the set temperature, and the actual rate of change of the indoor ambient temperature.
[0054] Specifically, the predicted time t consumed for the indoor environment temperature to reach the set temperature 低能耗1预计耗时 is equal to the ratio of the temperature difference between the current indoor environment temperature and the set temperature and the actual change rate of the indoor environment temperature, i.e., t 低能耗1预计耗时 = (T 当前 -T 设定 ) / V 低能耗1实际 .
[0055] Step S170, when the difference between the predicted time and the remaining time of the reference time is greater than the preset time threshold, the operation mode switching judgment is performed to determine whether to switch to the second operation mode.
[0056] The remaining time of the reference time is equal to the difference between the reference time and the running time (t 低能耗1 -t 低能耗1已运行 ), and when t 低能耗1预计耗时 -(t 低能耗1 -t 低能耗1已运行 )>Δt 阈值 (user setting), the operation mode switching judgment is performed.
[0057] In one embodiment, the operation mode switching judgment includes the following steps S11-S13.
[0058] Step S11, according to the current indoor environment temperature T 当前 , the set temperature T 设定 of the air conditioner, the current time t 当前 , and the set start-up time t 设定 , the current expected temperature change rate is obtained.
[0059] The current expected temperature change rate is equal to the ratio of the difference between the current indoor environment temperature T 当前 and the set temperature T 设定 of the air conditioner and the difference between the current time t 当前 and the set start-up time t 设定 , i.e., V 期望 = (T 当前 -T 设定 ) / (t 当前 -t 设定 ).
[0060] Step S12, the second preset running parameter in which the temperature change rate is the same as the expected temperature change rate is obtained from the preset running parameters required to adjust the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the current outdoor environment temperature if the air conditioner is operated in the second operation mode.
[0061] The preset operation parameter required for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature when the air conditioner operates in the second operation mode at the current outdoor environment temperature can specifically include: a reference time, a temperature change rate, and an energy consumption value required for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature when the air conditioner operates in the second operation mode at the current outdoor environment temperature.
[0062] Specifically, the preset air conditioner operation parameter in the second operation mode is acquired, and a second preset operation parameter with the same temperature change rate as the expected temperature change rate is acquired from the air conditioner operation parameter in the second operation mode and the preset operation parameter required for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature.
[0063] The air conditioner operation parameter in the second operation mode includes: reference times, temperature change rates, and energy consumption values required for adjusting different indoor environment temperatures to each of two or more preset debugging temperatures when the air conditioner operates in the second operation mode at different outdoor environment temperatures. Each set of outdoor environment temperature, indoor environment temperature, and debugging temperature corresponds to a set of more than one reference time, temperature change rate, and energy consumption value. The preset operation parameter with the same temperature change rate as the expected temperature change rate is acquired from the second preset operation parameter in the second operation mode and the air conditioner operation parameter.
[0064] For example, according to the current indoor environment temperature, the outdoor environment temperature, and the set temperature, the system high energy consumption parameter table X is searched 表H , V 期望 is found to be equal to V 高能耗1 , and the related parameters [t 高能耗1 , V 高能耗1 , E 高能耗1 ] for completing the task (reaching the set temperature) in high energy consumption are determined.
[0065] Similar to the first working mode, the air conditioner running parameters in the second working mode can be obtained by testing under standard conditions. For example, under the standard conditions and the space (e.g. a laboratory) where the testing is performed is the maximum effective heat exchange (cooling or heating) space for the air conditioner model, the working mode of the air conditioner is the second working mode, for example, the high energy consumption mode. Under the above conditions, the indoor environment temperature reaches each of the preset two or more debugging temperatures (e.g. the temperature values adjustable by the remote controller) at the reference time, the temperature change rate and the energy consumption value when the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature difference threshold (e.g. not greater than 20°C) while the different outdoor environment temperatures (e.g. -10°C, -8°C, -6°C, …, 36°C, 38°C, 40°C) and the different indoor environment temperatures (e.g. -10°C, -8°C, -6°C, …, 36°C, 38°C, 40°C) are tested.

[0066] In step S13, if the air conditioner is not set to automatically switch the working mode, it is determined whether to switch to the second working mode based on the second preset running parameters.
[0067] Specifically, it is determined whether the air conditioner is currently set to automatically switch the operation mode, and if the air conditioner is set to automatically switch the operation mode, it is directly determined to switch to the second operation mode to run according to the second preset operation parameter. If the air conditioner is not set to automatically switch the operation mode, it is determined whether to switch to the second operation mode to run based on the second preset operation parameter. In a specific embodiment, the energy consumption that needs to be increased for the air conditioner to currently run in the second operation mode relative to running in the first operation mode is calculated according to the second preset operation parameter; the energy consumption that needs to be increased is sent to the control end of the air conditioner, and feedback information of whether to switch to the second operation mode to run is received from the control end; and whether to switch to the second operation mode to run is determined according to the received feedback information.
[0068] The energy consumption that needs to be increased is equal to the energy consumption value required for the air conditioner to run in the second operation mode to adjust the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature at the current outdoor environment temperature minus the energy consumption value required for the air conditioner to continue running in the first operation mode to adjust the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature. The energy consumption value required for the air conditioner to continue running in the first operation mode to adjust the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature is equal to the energy consumption value required for the current indoor environment temperature to be adjusted to the set temperature in the first preset operation parameter multiplied by the time difference value between the reference time required for the current indoor environment temperature to be adjusted to the set temperature in the first preset operation parameter and the running time of the air conditioner running in the first operation mode, and then divided by the reference time required for the current indoor environment temperature to be adjusted to the set temperature in the first preset operation parameter.
[0069] That is, the energy consumption that needs to be increased ΔE 增加 = E 高能耗1 - E 低能耗.1 * (t 低能耗1 - t 低能耗1已运行 ) / t 低能耗1 .
[0070] In step S180, if it is determined to switch to the second operation mode, the air conditioner is controlled to switch to the second operation mode to run.
[0071] For example, if it is determined to switch to the high energy consumption mode, the air conditioner is controlled to switch to the high energy consumption mode to run according to the second preset operation parameter.
[0072] Figure 3 is a method schematic diagram of another embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner provided by the application.
[0073] For example, if it is determined to switch to the high energy consumption mode, the air conditioner is controlled to switch to the high energy consumption mode to run according to the second preset operation parameter. Figure 3As shown, according to still another embodiment of the present application, the control method of the air conditioner further comprises steps S190, S191, S192 and S193.
[0074] Step S190, when the air conditioner is running in the second operation mode, obtaining the running time of the air conditioner running in the second operation mode and the actual change rate of the indoor ambient temperature.
[0075] Specifically, when the air conditioner is running in the second operation mode, the indoor ambient temperature, the outdoor ambient temperature are detected in real time, and the running time t of the second operation mode is calculated in real time. 高能耗已运行 According to the indoor ambient temperature when the second operation mode is converted, the current indoor ambient temperature and the running time, the actual change rate of the indoor ambient temperature is calculated, i.e. the actual change rate of the indoor ambient temperature V 高能耗实际1 is equal to the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature when the second operation mode is converted and the current indoor ambient temperature divided by the running time, i.e. V 高能耗实际1 = (T 模式转换 -T 当前 ) / t 高能耗已运行 .
[0076] Step S191, according to the current indoor ambient temperature, the set temperature and the actual change rate of the indoor ambient temperature, the predicted time consumption of the indoor ambient temperature reaching the set temperature is calculated.
[0077] Wherein, the predicted time consumption t 高能耗预计耗时1 is equal to the temperature difference between the current indoor ambient temperature T 当前 and the set temperature T 设定 (T 当前 -T 设定 ), divided by the actual change rate of the indoor ambient temperature V 高能耗实际1 , i.e. t 高能耗预计耗时1 = (T 当前 -T 设定 ) / V 高能耗实际1 .
[0078] Step S192, when the predicted time consumption is greater than or equal to the difference between the current time and the set start-up time, the air conditioner is controlled to keep running in the second operation mode.
[0079] Step S193, when the predicted time consumption is less than the difference between the current time and the set start-up time, and the current time is equal to the set start-up time plus the predicted time consumption of the indoor ambient temperature reaching the set temperature when the air conditioner is running in the first operation mode, the air conditioner is controlled to switch to the first operation mode.
[0080] The estimated time consumption for the indoor environment temperature to reach the set temperature T 当前 when the air conditioner runs in the first working mode is equal to the current indoor environment temperature T 设定 The ratio of the temperature difference (T 当前 -T 设定 ) and the actual change rate of the indoor environment temperature, i.e. t 低能耗1预计耗时 =(T 当前 -T 设定 ) / V 低能耗1 actual.
[0081] That is, if t 高能耗预计耗时1 ≥(t 当前 -t 设定 ), the current state is run to the end. If t 高能耗预计耗时1 <(t 当前 -t 设定 ), when t 当前 =t 设定 +(T 当前 -T 设定 ) / V 低能耗实际1 , switch to the low energy consumption mode.
[0082] Further, when the indoor environment temperature reaches the set temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to standby, and the air conditioner running parameters in the first working mode and / or the air conditioner running parameters in the second working mode are updated.
[0083] Specifically, in the updated air conditioner running parameters in the first working mode or the air conditioner running parameters in the second working mode, the required reference time, temperature change rate and energy consumption value for adjusting the different indoor environment temperatures to each of the preset two or more debugging temperatures under different outdoor environment temperatures are respectively equal to the product of the preset update parameter multiplied by the reference time, temperature change rate or energy consumption value before the update, plus the difference of 1 minus the product of the preset update parameter multiplied by the actual running time, temperature change rate or energy consumption value of the air conditioner this time from the indoor environment temperature reaching the set temperature. The preset update parameter, i.e. the filter coefficient, is equal to the ratio of the actual running time, temperature change rate or energy consumption value of the air conditioner this time from the indoor environment temperature reaching the set temperature, and the sum of the reference time, temperature change rate or energy consumption value required for adjusting the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature in the air conditioner running parameters in the first working mode or the air conditioner running parameters in the second working mode before the update (under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the current start running).
[0084] That is, after updating X表 =τ*X 表0 +(1-τ)*[t 记录 V 记录 E 记录 ];
[0085] Where τ=[t 记录 V 记录 E 记录 ] / ([t 记录 V 记录 E 记录 ]+X 表0 );
[0086] Where τ is the preset update parameter, X 表0 This indicates the air conditioner operating parameters in the first or second operating mode before the update, specifically the required reference time, temperature change rate, or energy consumption value for adjusting the indoor ambient temperature to each of two or more preset test temperatures under different outdoor ambient temperatures; X 表 This indicates the updated air conditioning operating parameters in either the first or second operating mode. Specifically, it represents the reference time, temperature change rate, and energy consumption required to adjust the indoor ambient temperature to each of two or more preset test temperatures under different outdoor ambient temperatures. 记录 V 记录 E 记录 These represent the actual operating time, temperature change rate, and energy consumption value of the air conditioner during this operation until the indoor ambient temperature reaches the set temperature.
[0087] That is, the preset update parameter τ corresponding to the base time. t =t 记录 / (t 记录 +X 表0 [t]); Updated base time X 表 [t]=τ t *X 表0 [t]+(1-τ t )*t 记录 ;X 表0 [t] represents the reference time required to adjust the indoor ambient temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor and indoor ambient temperatures as before the current operation, based on the air conditioning operating parameters in the first operating mode or the air conditioning operating parameters in the second operating mode before the update.
[0088] Preset update parameter τ corresponding to the rate of temperature change V =V 记录 / (V 记录 +X 表0[V]); updated temperature change rate X 表 [V] = τ V *X 表0 [V] + (1 - τ V )*V 记录 ; X 表0 [V] represents the temperature change rate required for adjusting the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the present operation is started in the air conditioner operating parameters in the first working mode or the second working mode before the update.
[0089] The preset update parameter τ corresponding to the energy consumption value E = E 记录 / (E 记录 + X 表0 [E]); updated energy consumption value X 表 [E] = τ E *X 表0 [E] + (1 - τ E )*t 记录 ; X 表0 [E] represents the energy consumption value required for adjusting the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the present operation is started in the air conditioner operating parameters in the first working mode or the second working mode before the update.
[0090] τ = [τ t , τ V , τ E ]; X 表 = [X 表 [t], X 表 [V], X 表 [E]].
[0091] If the air conditioner is always operated in the first working mode until the indoor environment temperature reaches the set temperature, the actual operation time, temperature change rate or energy consumption value of the air conditioner when the indoor environment temperature reaches the set temperature in the present operation is equal to the reference time, temperature change rate and energy consumption value required for adjusting the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the present operation is started in the air conditioner operating parameters in the first working mode (i.e. the first preset operating parameter), i.e. [t 记录 , V 记录 , E 记录 ] = [t 低能耗 , V 低能耗 , E 低能耗 ].
[0092] If the running mode is switched during the running process, the actual running time or temperature change rate of the air conditioner when the indoor environment temperature reaches the set temperature this time is equal to the sum of 1 and the ratio of the product of the reference time or temperature change rate required for adjusting the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the start of this time in the air conditioner running parameter in the first working mode to the reference time or temperature change rate required for adjusting the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the start of this time in the air conditioner running parameter in the second working mode; the actual energy consumption value of the air conditioner when the indoor environment temperature reaches the set temperature this time is equal to the sum of the energy consumption value required for adjusting the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the start of this time in the air conditioner running parameter in the first working mode to the energy consumption value required for adjusting the indoor temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the start of this time in the air conditioner running parameter in the second working mode, i.e.,
[0093] [t 记录 , V 记录 , E 记录 ] = [t 低能耗 *(1+t 低能耗 / t 高能耗 ), V 低能耗 *(1+V 高能耗 / V 低能耗 ), E 低能耗 +E 高能耗 ].
[0094] Figure 4 The system schematic diagram for implementing the present application is shown. As Figure 4 described, the air conditioner comprises an air conditioner body, the main board of the air conditioner comprises a controller and a memory; the mobile terminal APP sends a control command to the air conditioner through the platform server. For example, the user sets the favorite temperature T 设定 , the start time t 设定 , the time threshold Δt 阈值 , and the autonomous adjustment through the mobile phone APP, and the air conditioner stores the above parameters in the memory.
[0095] To clearly illustrate the technical scheme of the present application, the execution flow of the control method of the air conditioner provided by the present application is described below with one specific embodiment.
[0096] Figure 5is a method schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner provided by the application. As shown in Figure 5 , the air conditioner reads the last start task. When the maximum running time t 当前 =t 设定 -Max(X 表L [t A ]) is reached, the air conditioner detects the indoor and outdoor environment temperature. According to the indoor and outdoor environment temperature, the preferred temperature, the system parameter table X 表L is searched to determine the related parameters [t 低能耗1 , V 低能耗1 , E 低能耗1 ] for completing the task in low energy consumption mode. When the start time t 当前 =t 设定 -t 低能耗1 is reached, the air conditioner starts to run in low energy consumption mode; the indoor and outdoor environment temperature is detected in real time, and the expected time for completing the task in this mode is calculated in real time, if the time is greater than the threshold value, it is judged whether the air conditioner is set with autonomous choice, if the autonomous choice is set, it is judged whether the task can be completed in low energy consumption mode, if yes, the current low energy consumption mode is maintained, if no, it is switched to high energy consumption mode, if the autonomous choice is not set, information is sent to the user to decide whether to switch to high energy consumption mode, when the indoor environment temperature is equal to the set temperature, the air conditioner is on standby and the parameters X 表L and X 表H of the low energy consumption mode and the high energy consumption mode are updated.
[0097] The application further provides a control device of an air conditioner.
[0098] Figure 6 is a structure block diagram of an embodiment of the control device of the air conditioner provided by the application. As shown in Figure 6 , the control device 100 comprises a first acquisition unit 110, a second acquisition unit 120, a third acquisition unit 130 and a first control unit 140.
[0099] The first acquisition unit 110 is used for acquiring the task parameters of the last start task of the air conditioner and acquiring the maximum running time required for the air conditioner to run in the first working mode; the task parameters comprise the set temperature and the set start time of the air conditioner.
[0100] The task parameters can comprise the set temperature and the set start time of the air conditioner. For example, the set temperature T 设定 and the start time t 设定 may be set by the user, for example, the user can set the preferred temperature T 设定 and the start time t 设定 through the mobile phone APP, and the settings of the user are saved in the memory.
[0101] The air conditioner includes a first operating mode and a second operating mode. The power consumption of the first operating mode is lower than that of the second operating mode. For example, the first operating mode is a low-energy-consumption mode, and the second operating mode is a high-energy-consumption mode.
[0102] In one specific embodiment, obtaining the maximum operating time required for the air conditioner to operate in a first operating mode includes: obtaining pre-set air conditioner operating parameters in the first operating mode; the maximum operating time required for the air conditioner to operate in the first operating mode can be obtained from the pre-set air conditioner operating parameters in the first operating mode, which include: the reference time, temperature change rate, and energy consumption value required for the air conditioner to adjust different indoor ambient temperatures to each of two or more preset test temperatures under different outdoor ambient temperatures when operating in the first operating mode. Each set of outdoor ambient temperature, indoor ambient temperature, and test temperature corresponds to one or more sets of the aforementioned reference time, temperature change rate, and energy consumption value.
[0103] The air conditioner operating parameters in the first working mode can be obtained through testing under standard conditions. The standard conditions refer to the air conditioner being fully functional, the test space (e.g., a laboratory) being the maximum effective heat exchange (cooling or heating) space for that air conditioner model, and the air conditioner operating in the first working mode, such as a low-energy consumption mode. For example, under the above conditions, testing is performed at different outdoor ambient temperatures (e.g., -10℃, -8℃, -6℃, ..., 36℃, 38℃, 40℃) and different indoor ambient temperatures (e.g., -10℃, -8℃, -6℃, ..., 36℃, 38℃, 40℃), while the indoor-outdoor temperature difference is less than or equal to a preset temperature difference threshold (e.g., not greater than 20℃). The baseline time, temperature change rate, and energy consumption value for each of the two or more preset adjustable temperatures (e.g., temperature values adjustable by the remote control) are recorded, for example, [t]. A1 V A1 E A1 ], [t A2 V A2 E A2 ], [t A3 V A3 E A3 ]…[t An-2 V An-2 E An-2 ], [t An-1 V An-1 E An-1 ], [t An V An E An ]. Among them, t Ai V represents the reference time.Ai represents the temperature change rate, E Ai represents the energy consumption value, i = 1, 2, 3, …, n; preferably, the test obtained parameter can be taken as the system low energy consumption parameter table X 表L is stored.
[0104] Specifically, the reference time with the longest duration is obtained from the air conditioner running parameter in the first working mode as the longest running time required for the air conditioner to run in the first working mode. For example, the low energy consumption parameter table X 表L is obtained from the low energy consumption parameter table X 表L , and the longest duration t Ai , i.e. Max(X 表L [t Ai ]) is obtained.
[0105] The second obtaining unit 120 is configured to obtain the current indoor environment temperature and the outdoor environment temperature when the time difference between the current time and the set start-up time reaches the longest running time.
[0106] Specifically, when the time difference between the current time and the set start-up time reaches the longest running time, i.e. the current time reaches the difference between the set start-up time and the longest running time, i.e. t 当前 = t 设定 -Max(X 表L [t A ]), the current indoor environment temperature and the outdoor environment temperature are obtained.
[0107] The third obtaining unit 130 is configured to obtain a first preset running parameter for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature when the air conditioner runs in the first working mode at the current outdoor environment temperature; the first preset running parameter includes a reference time required for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature, a temperature change rate, and an energy consumption value.
[0108] Specifically, the air conditioner running parameter in the first working mode is obtained in advance; and the preset running parameter for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature at the current outdoor environment temperature when the air conditioner runs in the first working mode is obtained from the running parameter in the first working mode.
[0109] The first preset operating parameters may specifically include: the reference time required to adjust the current indoor ambient temperature to the set temperature, the rate of temperature change, and the energy consumption value. The air conditioner operating parameters in the first operating mode include: the reference time, the rate of temperature change, and the energy consumption value required to adjust the indoor ambient temperature to each of two or more preset adjustment temperatures under different outdoor ambient temperatures when the air conditioner is running in the first operating mode. The method for setting the air conditioner operating parameters in the first operating mode can be referred to the aforementioned specific embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
[0110] The first control unit 140 is used to control the air conditioner to start up and operate in the first working mode when the time difference between the current time and the set start-up time reaches the reference time.
[0111] Specifically, at the current time t 当前 Reaching the set power-on time t 设定 With the reference time t 低能耗1 When the difference is t 当前 =t 设定 -t 低能耗1 The air conditioner is controlled to turn on and operate in the first working mode.
[0112] For example, based on indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures and the user's preferred temperature (set temperature), look up the system's low-energy consumption parameter table X. 表L Determine the relevant parameters for completing the task with low energy consumption [t] 低能耗1 V 低能耗1 E 低能耗1 ]. In t 当前 =t 设定 -t 低能耗1 At that time, the air conditioner was turned on and running.
[0113] Figure 7 This is a structural block diagram of another embodiment of the air conditioner control device provided by the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, the control device 100 further includes a fourth acquisition unit 150, a first calculation unit 160, a judgment unit 170, and a second control unit 180.
[0114] The fourth acquisition unit 150 is used to acquire the running time of the air conditioner in the first working mode and the actual rate of change of the indoor ambient temperature when the air conditioner is running in the first working mode.
[0115] Specifically, the task parameters may further include: a preset time consumption threshold Δt 阈值 The preset time threshold can be set by the user. For example, the user can set their preferred temperature T via a mobile app. 设定 Boot time t设定 and time consumption threshold Δt 阈值 Save the user's settings to the storage.
[0116] The actual rate of change of indoor ambient temperature V 低能耗1实际 Based on the indoor ambient temperature T at the time of power-on 开机 Current indoor ambient temperature T 当前 and the running time t of the air conditioner operating in the first working mode. 低能耗1已运行 Calculation, i.e., V 低能耗1实际 =(T 开机 -T 当前 ) / t 低能耗1已运行 .
[0117] The first calculation unit 160 is used to calculate the estimated time required for the indoor ambient temperature to reach the set temperature based on the current indoor ambient temperature, the set temperature, and the actual rate of change of the indoor ambient temperature.
[0118] Specifically, the estimated time t for the indoor ambient temperature to reach the set temperature. 低能耗1预计耗时 It is equal to the ratio of the temperature difference between the current indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature to the actual rate of change of the indoor ambient temperature, i.e., t. 低能耗1预计耗时 =(T 当前 -T 设定 ) / V 低能耗1实际 .
[0119] The judgment unit 170 is used to determine whether to switch to the second working mode when the difference between the estimated time and the remaining time of the reference time is greater than the preset time threshold; the remaining time of the reference time is equal to the difference between the reference time and the running time.
[0120] The remaining time of the reference time is equal to the difference between the reference time and the already run time (t). 低能耗1 -t 低能耗1已运行 ), then when t 低能耗1预计耗时 -(t 低能耗1 -t 低能耗1已运行 )>Δt 阈值 When (user settings) are enabled, a working mode switching judgment is performed.
[0121] In one specific implementation, the working mode switching judgment includes the following steps S11 to S13.
[0122] Step S11, based on the current indoor ambient temperature T 当前 The set temperature T of the air conditioner 设定 Current time t 当前and the set-up start-up time t 设定 , the current expected temperature change rate is obtained.
[0123] wherein the current expected temperature change rate is equal to the difference between the current indoor environment temperature T 当前 and the set temperature T 设定 of the air conditioner, divided by the difference between the current time t 当前 and the set-up start-up time t 设定 , that is, V 期望 =(T 当前 -T 设定 ) / (t 当前 -t 设定 ).
[0124] In step S12, the second preset operation parameter in which the temperature change rate is the same as the expected temperature change rate is obtained from the preset operation parameters required for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature if the air conditioner is operated in the second operation mode at the current outdoor environment temperature.
[0125] The preset operation parameters required for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature if the air conditioner is operated in the second operation mode at the current outdoor environment temperature can specifically include: the reference time, the temperature change rate and the energy consumption value required for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature if the air conditioner is operated in the second operation mode at the current outdoor environment temperature.
[0126] Specifically, the preset air conditioner operation parameter in the second operation mode is obtained, and the second preset operation parameter in which the temperature change rate is the same as the expected temperature change rate is obtained from the preset operation parameters required for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature in the air conditioner operation parameter in the second operation mode.
[0127] The air conditioner operation parameter in the second operation mode includes: the reference time, the temperature change rate and the energy consumption value required for adjusting different indoor environment temperatures to each of the preset two or more debugging temperatures when the air conditioner is operated in the second operation mode at different outdoor environment temperatures. Wherein, when the air conditioner is operated in the second operation mode, each set of outdoor environment temperature, indoor environment temperature and debugging temperature corresponds to a set of reference time, temperature change rate and energy consumption value. The preset operation parameter in which the temperature change rate is the same as the expected temperature change rate is obtained from the second preset operation parameter for adjusting the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature in the air conditioner operation parameter in the second operation mode.
[0128] For example, according to the current indoor environment temperature, the outdoor environment temperature and the set temperature, the system high energy consumption parameter table X表H , find V 期望 equal to V 高能耗1 , thus determine the relevant parameters [t 高能耗1 , V 高能耗1 , E 高能耗1 ] of the air conditioner running in high energy consumption mode to complete the task (reach the set temperature).
[0129] Similar to the first working mode, the running parameters of the air conditioner in the second working mode can be obtained by testing under standard conditions. For example, under the standard conditions and the space (for example, a laboratory) where the test is located is the maximum effective heat exchange (cooling or heating) space for this air conditioner model, the working mode of the air conditioner is the second working mode, for example, the high energy consumption mode. Under the above conditions, when the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature difference threshold (for example, not more than 20℃), the reference time, temperature change rate and energy consumption value of the indoor environment temperature reaching each of the two or more than two debugging temperatures (for example, the temperature values that can be adjusted by the remote controller) are obtained, for example, [t B1 , V B1 , E B1 ], [t B2 , V B2 , E B2 ], [t B3 , V B3 , E B3 ]…[t Bn-2 , V Bn-2 , E Bn-2 ], [t Bn-1 , V Bn-1 , E Bn-1 ], [t Bn , V Bn , E Bn ] under different outdoor environment temperatures (for example, -10℃, -8℃, -6℃, …, 36℃, 38℃, 40℃) and different indoor environment temperatures (for example, -10℃, -8℃, -6℃, …, 36℃, 38℃, 40℃). Among them, t Bi represents the reference time, V Bi represents the temperature change rate, E Bi represents the energy consumption value, i=1, 2, 3, …, n; preferably, the obtained parameters can be stored as the system high energy consumption parameter table X 表H .
[0130] Step S13, if the air conditioner is not set to automatically switch the working mode, whether to switch to the second working mode is determined based on the second preset running parameters.
[0131] Specifically, it is determined whether the air conditioner is currently set to automatically switch the operation mode, and if the air conditioner is set to automatically switch the operation mode, it is directly determined to switch to the second operation mode to run according to the second preset operation parameter. If the air conditioner is not set to automatically switch the operation mode, it is determined whether to switch to the second operation mode to run based on the second preset operation parameter. In a specific embodiment, the energy consumption that needs to be increased for the air conditioner to currently run in the second operation mode relative to running in the first operation mode is calculated according to the second preset operation parameter; the energy consumption that needs to be increased is sent to the control end of the air conditioner, and feedback information of whether to switch to the second operation mode to run is received from the control end; and whether to switch to the second operation mode to run is determined according to the received feedback information.
[0132] The energy consumption that needs to be increased is equal to the energy consumption value required for the air conditioner to run in the second operation mode to adjust the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature at the current outdoor environment temperature, minus the energy consumption value required for the air conditioner to continue running in the first operation mode to adjust the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature. The energy consumption value required for the air conditioner to continue running in the first operation mode to adjust the current indoor environment temperature to the set temperature is equal to the energy consumption value required for the current indoor environment temperature to be adjusted to the set temperature in the first preset operation parameter, multiplied by the time difference value between the reference time required for the current indoor environment temperature to be adjusted to the set temperature in the first preset operation parameter and the running time of the air conditioner running in the first operation mode, and then divided by the reference time required for the current indoor environment temperature to be adjusted to the set temperature in the first preset operation parameter.
[0133] That is, the energy consumption that needs to be increased ΔE 增加 = E 高能耗1 - E 低能耗.1 * (t 低能耗1 - t 低能耗1已运行 ) / t 低能耗1 .
[0134] The second control unit 180 is configured to control the air conditioner to switch to the second operation mode to run if it is determined to switch to the second operation mode.
[0135] For example, if it is determined to switch to the high energy consumption mode, the air conditioner is controlled to switch to the high energy consumption mode to run and run according to the second preset operation parameter.
[0136] Figure 8 is a structural block diagram of another embodiment of the control device of the air conditioner provided by the application. As Figure 8 shown, the control device 100 further comprises a fifth acquisition unit 190 and a second calculation unit 191.
[0137] The fifth obtaining unit 190 is configured to obtain an actual change rate of the indoor environment temperature and an operation time of the air conditioner in the second operation mode when the air conditioner operates in the second operation mode.
[0138] Specifically, when the air conditioner operates in the second operation mode, the indoor environment temperature and the outdoor environment temperature are detected in real time, and the operation time t of the air conditioner in the second operation mode is calculated in real time. 高能耗已运行 According to the indoor environment temperature when the air conditioner operates in the second operation mode, the current indoor environment temperature and the operation time, the actual change rate V of the indoor environment temperature is calculated, that is, V 高能耗实际1 equals the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature when the air conditioner operates in the second operation mode and the current indoor environment temperature divided by the operation time, that is, V 高能耗实际1 =(T 模式转换 -T 当前 ) / t 高能耗已运行 .
[0139] The second calculating unit 191 is configured to calculate the predicted time consumption for the indoor environment temperature to reach the set temperature according to the current indoor environment temperature, the set temperature and the actual change rate of the indoor environment temperature.
[0140] The predicted time consumption t 高能耗预计耗时1 equals the temperature difference (T 当前 -T 设定 ) between the current indoor environment temperature T 当前 and the set temperature T 设定 divided by the actual change rate V 高能耗实际1 of the indoor environment temperature, that is, t 高能耗预计耗时1 =(T 当前 -T 设定 ) / V 高能耗实际1 .
[0141] The second control unit 180 is further configured to control the air conditioner to operate in the second operation mode when the predicted time consumption is greater than or equal to the difference between the current time and the set start-up time, and control the air conditioner to switch to the first operation mode when the predicted time consumption is less than the difference between the current time and the set start-up time and the current time is equal to the set start-up time plus the predicted time consumption for the indoor environment temperature to reach the set temperature.
[0142] The predicted time consumption for the indoor environment temperature to reach the set temperature when the air conditioner operates in the first operation mode equals the temperature difference (T 当前 -T 设定 ) between the current indoor environment temperature T 当前T 设定 ) and the actual rate of change of the indoor environment temperature, i.e. t 低能耗1预计耗时 = (T 当前 -T 设定 ) / V 低能耗1实际 .
[0143] That is, if t 高能耗预计耗时1 ≥ (t 当前 -t 设定 ), the current state is run to the end. If t 高能耗预计耗时1 < (t 当前 -t 设定 ), when t 当前 = t 设定 + (T 当前 -T 设定 ) / V 低能耗实际1 , switch to the low energy consumption mode.
[0144] Further, the device 100 also comprises a third control unit and an updating unit (not shown). The third control unit is used to control the air conditioner standby when the indoor environment temperature reaches the set temperature, and the updating unit is used to update the air conditioner operating parameters in the first operating mode and / or the air conditioner operating parameters in the second operating mode.
[0145] Specifically, in the updated air conditioner operating parameters in the first operating mode or the second operating mode, the required reference time, temperature change rate and energy consumption value required to adjust the different indoor environment temperatures to each of the two or more than two preset debugging temperatures at different outdoor environment temperatures are respectively equal to the product of the preset updating parameter multiplied by the reference time, temperature change rate or energy consumption value before updating, plus the difference of 1 minus the product of the preset updating parameter multiplied by the actual operating time, temperature change rate or energy consumption value of the air conditioner this time running to the indoor environment temperature reaching the set temperature. The preset updating parameter, i.e. the filter coefficient, is equal to the actual operating time, temperature change rate or energy consumption value of the air conditioner this time running to the indoor environment temperature reaching the set temperature, and the ratio of the sum of the actual operating time, temperature change rate or energy consumption value of the air conditioner this time running to the indoor environment temperature reaching the set temperature and the reference time, temperature change rate or energy consumption value required to adjust the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature in the air conditioner operating parameters in the first operating mode or the second operating mode (at the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before this time running).
[0146] That is, after updating X 表 = τ * X 表0 + (1-τ) * [t 记录 , V 记录, E 记录 ];
[0147] wherein, τ = [t 记录 , V 记录 , E 记录 ] / ([t 记录 , V 记录 , E 记录 ]+X 表0 );
[0148] wherein, τ is a preset updating parameter, X 表0 represents the air conditioner operating parameter in the first operating mode or the air conditioner operating parameter in the second operating mode before updating, i.e. the required reference time, temperature change rate or energy consumption value required for adjusting different indoor environment temperatures to each of the preset two or more debugging temperatures under different outdoor environment temperatures; X 表 represents the air conditioner operating parameter in the first operating mode or the air conditioner operating parameter in the second operating mode after updating, i.e. the required reference time, temperature change rate and energy consumption value required for adjusting different indoor environment temperatures to each of the preset two or more debugging temperatures under different outdoor environment temperatures; t 记录 , V 记录 , E 记录 respectively represent the actual operating time, temperature change rate and energy consumption value of the air conditioner in this operation until the indoor environment temperature reaches the set temperature.
[0149] i.e. the preset updating parameter τ t corresponding to the reference time t 记录 / (t 记录 +X 表0 [t]); the updated reference time X 表 [t] = τ t *X 表0 [t]+(1-τ t )*t 记录 ; X 表0 [t] represents the reference time required for adjusting the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the start of this operation in the air conditioner operating parameter in the first operating mode or the air conditioner operating parameter in the second operating mode before updating.

[0151] The preset update parameter τ corresponding to the energy consumption value X E = E 记录 / (E 记录 + X 表0 [E]); the updated energy consumption value X 表 [E] = τ E * X 表0 [E] + (1-τ E )*t 记录 ; X 表0 [E] represents the energy consumption value required to adjust the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the current start of operation in the air conditioner operating parameters in the first operating mode or in the second operating mode before the update.
[0152] τ = [τ t , τ V , τ E ]; X 表 = [X 表 [t], X 表 [V], X 表 [E]];
[0153] If the air conditioner is always operated in the first operating mode until the indoor environment temperature reaches the set temperature, the actual operating time, temperature variation rate or energy consumption value of the air conditioner when the indoor environment temperature reaches the set temperature in the current operation is equal to the reference time, temperature variation rate and energy consumption value required to adjust the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the current start of operation in the air conditioner operating parameters in the first operating mode (i.e. the first preset operating parameter), that is, [t 记录 , V 记录 , E 记录 ] = [t 低能耗 , V 低能耗 , E 低能耗 ].
[0154] If the operation mode is switched during the operation, the actual operation time or temperature change rate of the air conditioner when the indoor environment temperature reaches the set temperature this time is equal to the sum of 1 and the ratio of the product of the reference time or temperature change rate required for adjusting the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the start of this operation in the air conditioner operation parameters in the first working mode to the reference time or temperature change rate required for adjusting the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the start of this operation in the air conditioner operation parameters in the second working mode; and the actual energy consumption value of the air conditioner when the indoor environment temperature reaches the set temperature this time is equal to the sum of the energy consumption value required for adjusting the indoor environment temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the start of this operation in the air conditioner operation parameters in the first working mode to the energy consumption value required for adjusting the indoor temperature to the set temperature under the same outdoor environment temperature and indoor environment temperature as before the start of this operation in the air conditioner operation parameters in the second working mode, i.e.,
