In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and the purpose is not to limit the present application.

In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can realize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0025] The following will be described in detail Figures 1-2 The control method and control device of the air conditioner in the energy-saving mode and the air conditioner are described.

[0026] Figure 1 The flowchart of the control method of the air conditioner in the energy-saving mode provided by the present application is shown in FIG. 1, which comprises the following steps: Figure 1 obtaining the current indoor temperature of the room where the air conditioner is located and the set temperature of the air conditioner; step 200, determining the temperature difference between the current indoor temperature and the set temperature; step 300, adjusting the current of the air conditioner based on the relationship between the temperature difference and the preset temperature.

[0027] The air conditioner can automatically start the energy-saving mode according to a certain control logic, or can start the energy-saving mode according to a user instruction, such as starting the energy-saving mode of the air conditioner through voice, a mobile phone APP, or a remote controller.

[0028] After the energy-saving mode is started, the comfort degree in the room is determined based on a temperature difference between the current indoor temperature of the room where the air conditioner is located and the set temperature of the air conditioner, wherein the smaller the temperature difference, the closer the current indoor temperature to the set temperature of the air conditioner. It should be noted that in the heating mode, the set temperature of the air conditioner is greater than the current indoor temperature; in the cooling mode, the set temperature of the air conditioner is less than the current indoor temperature. Further, in order to achieve energy saving, the current current of the air conditioner is adjusted by the relationship between the temperature difference and the preset temperature, and the air conditioner operates according to the adjusted current, so as to achieve energy saving without affecting the comfort degree of the user.

[0029] The control method of the air conditioner in the energy-saving mode provided by the embodiment of the application adjusts the current current of the air conditioner by the relationship between the temperature difference between the current indoor temperature and the set temperature and the preset temperature, which is good in intelligence, energy saving and environmental protection, and reduces the influence of energy saving on the comfort degree.

[0030] Further, the current current of the air conditioner is adjusted based on the relationship between the temperature difference and the preset temperature, which includes: obtaining the current current, the minimum current and the maximum current of the air conditioner; in the case that the temperature difference is less than the first preset temperature, controlling the air conditioner to operate at the first preset current, the first preset current being greater than the minimum current and less than the maximum current; in the case that the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, controlling the air conditioner to operate at the maximum current.

[0031] In the case that the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the maximum current in the embodiment of the application, so that the indoor temperature quickly approaches the preset temperature of the air conditioner, and the comfort degree of the user is improved; in the case that the temperature difference is less than the first preset temperature, the indoor temperature approaches the preset temperature of the air conditioner, the current current of the air conditioner is controlled to be reduced, and the air conditioner operates at the first preset current, so that the indoor temperature slowly approaches the preset temperature of the air conditioner, without affecting the comfort degree of the user, and energy saving can be achieved.

[0032] In the case that the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, the air speed is controlled to operate at the maximum wind speed in the embodiment of the application, so as to further accelerate the indoor temperature to quickly approach the preset temperature of the air conditioner. In the case that the temperature difference is less than the first preset temperature, the air speed is controlled to be reduced, so as to slow down the change of the indoor temperature, to meet the comfort degree of the user, and to achieve energy saving.

[0033] Further, in the case that the temperature difference is less than the first preset temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a first preset current, the first preset current being greater than the minimum current and less than the maximum current; including: in the case that the temperature difference is greater than a second preset temperature and less than the first preset temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a second preset current, such as the second preset current being 1 / 4 of the maximum current. Further, the air speed of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a first air speed, the first air speed being less than the maximum air speed. In the case that the temperature difference is greater than a third preset temperature and less than the second preset temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a third preset current, the third preset current being less than the second preset current, such as the third preset current being 1 / 5 of the maximum current. Further, the air speed of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a second air speed, the second air speed being less than the first air speed. In the case that the temperature difference is less than the third preset temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a fourth preset current, the fourth preset current being less than the third preset current, such as the fourth preset current being the minimum current + 1A. Further, the air speed of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a third air speed, the third air speed being less than the second air speed.

[0034] For example, in the cooling mode, in the case that the temperature difference is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature (4°C), the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the maximum current, so as to quickly bring the indoor temperature close to the preset temperature of the air conditioner, thereby improving the user comfort. In the case that the temperature difference is greater than a second preset temperature (2°C) and less than the first preset temperature (4°C), the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a second preset current, the second preset current being 1 / 4 of the maximum current, at this time, the current indoor temperature gradually approaches the set temperature of the air conditioner, and the current can be appropriately reduced without affecting the user comfort, thereby achieving energy saving. In addition, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a first air speed, such as a first gear. In the case that the temperature difference is greater than a third preset temperature (1°C) and less than the second preset temperature (2°C), the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a third preset current, the third preset current being 1 / 5 of the maximum current, at this time, the temperature change has less effect on the comfort, and the current of the air conditioner can be reduced again, thereby achieving energy saving. In addition, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a second air speed, such as a second gear, the air speed of the second gear being less than that of the first gear. In the case that the temperature difference is less than the third preset temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a fourth preset current, the fourth preset current being the minimum current + 1A, at this time, the indoor temperature basically reaches the set temperature, and the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a current close to the minimum current, thereby achieving good energy saving effect. In addition, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a third air speed, such as a third gear, the air speed of the third gear being less than that of the second gear.

[0035] Further, in the case that the temperature difference is less than the third preset temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a fourth preset current, the fourth preset current being less than the third preset current; and further comprising: in the case that the temperature difference is less than the third preset temperature, the running time of the air conditioner in the case that the temperature difference is less than the third preset temperature is recorded by a timer or the like, and the current of the air conditioner is adjusted based on the relationship between the running time and a preset time length.

[0036] Specifically, in the case that the running time is less than the preset time length, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the fourth preset current, such as the minimum current+1A; and in the case that the running time is greater than or equal to the preset time length, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a fifth preset current, the fifth preset current being less than the fourth preset current, such as the minimum current+0.5A.

[0037] Further, the fifth preset current can be adjusted according to the running time, such as the fifth preset current being the minimum current+(coefficient-running time) / coefficient, the coefficient being greater than the running time, the longer the running time, the smaller the fifth preset current. For example, the running time is 5 minutes, the coefficient is 20, and the fifth preset current is the minimum current+3 / 4A. The running time is 10 minutes, the coefficient is 20, and the fifth preset current is the minimum current+1 / 2A. The coefficient in the embodiment of the present application is a natural number, which is not specifically limited and can be set according to actual conditions.
