[0042] Optionally, the detection device 11 can be arranged on the wall opposite the air conditioner and the left and right side walls.

[0045] The system, a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit and a control method thereof in the related art are shown. By obtaining an indoor environment temperature distribution, then comparing the indoor environment temperature distribution with a preset temperature, a target air supply area is obtained, and a guide air device is adjusted so that each cross-flow fan blows air towards the target air supply area. However, in the related art, the detection device 11 is arranged between the two air outlets of the air conditioner 10, and the environment temperature detected by the detection device 11 is easily affected by the hot air, thereby causing inaccurate temperature adjustment for different areas. Figure 2 The method comprises the following steps.

[0046] S201, the air conditioner obtains an actual temperature of each target area in a plurality of target areas.

[0047] S202, the air conditioner determines a target temperature of each target area according to the plurality of actual temperatures.

[0048] S203, the air conditioner calculates a temperature difference between the actual temperature of each target area and the target temperature of the target area, and obtains the temperature difference of each target area.

[0049] S204, the air conditioner controls a wind direction adjusting mechanism according to the temperature difference of each target area.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the detection device arranged outside the air conditioner body obtains an actual temperature of each target area in a plurality of target areas, and determines a target temperature of each target area. According to the temperature difference between the actual temperature of each target area and the target temperature of the target area, a target air supply area is obtained, and the wind direction adjusting mechanism is controlled to blow air to different target air supply areas in different ways, so that the temperature adjustment for different areas is more accurate, and the indoor temperature is more consistent with the temperature set by the user.

[0051] Optionally, the plurality of target areas comprises a first target area and a second target area.

[0052] Optionally, the target temperature of each target region is determined according to the plurality of actual temperatures, comprising: calculating an absolute value of a temperature difference between the first initial temperature and the second initial temperature to obtain an initial absolute temperature difference, wherein the first initial temperature is an initial temperature of the first target region, and the second initial temperature is an initial temperature of the second target region; and determining the first target temperature and the second target temperature according to the initial absolute temperature difference, the air conditioner target temperature, the first initial temperature, and the second initial temperature, wherein the first target temperature is a target temperature of the first target region, and the second target temperature is a target temperature of the second target region.

[0053] In this way, the absolute value of the temperature difference between the first initial temperature and the second initial temperature is calculated, and the target temperature of each target region is determined according to the initial absolute temperature difference and the air conditioner target temperature, which takes into account the influence of the temperature difference between the first initial temperature and the second initial temperature on each target region, and is conducive to the target temperature of each target region being more in line with the actual environmental temperature.

[0054] Optionally, the first target temperature and the second target temperature are determined according to the initial absolute temperature difference, the air conditioner target temperature, the first initial temperature, and the second initial temperature, comprising: comparing the first initial temperature and the second initial temperature to determine the target region with the higher initial temperature; calculating T1=T-ΔT / 2 to obtain the target temperature T1 of the target region with the higher initial temperature; and calculating T2=T+ΔT / 2 to obtain the target temperature T2 of the target region with the lower initial temperature, wherein T is the air conditioner target temperature, and ΔT is the initial absolute temperature difference.

[0055] In this way, the target region with the higher initial temperature is determined, and the target temperature of the target region with the higher initial temperature is lower than the air conditioner target temperature and the target temperature of the target region with the lower initial temperature is higher than the air conditioner target temperature according to the air conditioner target temperature and the initial absolute temperature difference, which takes into account the influence of the temperature difference between the first initial temperature and the second initial temperature on the target region with the higher initial temperature and the target region with the lower initial temperature, respectively, and is conducive to the target temperature of each target region being more in line with the actual environmental temperature.

[0056] Optionally, the initial temperature of each target region is the actual temperature of each target region when the air conditioner target temperature changes.

[0057] In this way, it is conducive to determining the target temperature of each target region at the time when the air conditioner target temperature changes, so that the target temperature of each target region is updated in a timely manner with the air conditioner target temperature.

[0058] The air conditioner target temperature changes include when the air conditioner is turned on, or when the air conditioner target temperature is reset in the on state.

[0059] In this way, the switching on / off state of the air conditioner and the case where the user resets the target temperature of the air conditioner are considered, and the change of the target temperature of the air conditioner is determined more accurately.

[0060] Optionally, the air direction adjusting mechanism is controlled according to the temperature difference of each target region, including: comparing the absolute value of the temperature difference of each target region with a temperature difference threshold respectively, and determining a first type of target air supply region and a second type of target air supply region. The first type of target air supply region is a target region with an absolute value of the temperature difference greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, and the second type of target air supply region is a target region with an absolute value of the temperature difference less than the temperature difference threshold. The air direction adjusting mechanism is controlled according to the comparison result.

[0061] In this way, the absolute value of the temperature difference of each target region is compared with the temperature difference threshold respectively, and each target region is classified and divided, and the air direction adjusting mechanism is controlled to supply air to different types of target regions according to the comparison result, which helps to more accurately adjust the temperature of different types of target air supply regions.

[0062] Optionally, the temperature difference threshold is m, and 0℃≤m≤3℃. Optionally, m=0℃, 1℃, 2℃ or 3℃.

[0063] In this way, the temperature difference of each target region is limited, which helps to adjust the temperature of each target region to be more consistent with the target temperature of each target region, so that the indoor temperature is more consistent with the user set temperature.

[0064] Optionally, the air direction adjusting structure includes a swing leaf.

[0065] Optionally, the air direction adjusting mechanism is controlled according to the comparison result, including: if all target regions are first type of target air supply regions or second type of target air supply regions, the swing leaf is controlled to swing continuously to supply air uniformly to all target regions. Otherwise, the direction of the swing leaf is adjusted periodically to supply air to the first type of target air supply region and the second type of target air supply region cyclically.

[0066] In this way, the swing leaf is controlled to supply air to different types of target air supply regions in different situations, which helps to more quickly adjust the temperature of each target region to the target temperature of the target region in different situations, so that the indoor temperature reaches the user set temperature more quickly.

[0067] Optionally, the swing leaf is controlled to swing continuously to supply air uniformly to all target regions, including: the swing leaf is controlled to swing from the leftmost gear to the rightmost gear, and then the swing leaf is controlled to swing from the rightmost gear to the leftmost gear, and so on.

[0068] In this way, it is beneficial to control the swing leaf to supply air more uniformly to all target regions.

[0069] The periodically adjusting the direction of the swing blade and circulating air supply to the first type target air supply area and the second type target air supply area comprises: first controlling the swing blade to supply air to the first type target air supply area, and then controlling the swing blade to supply air to the second type target air supply area, thereby forming a cycle period. After the cycle period ends, the swing blade enters the next cycle period.

[0070] In this way, periodically adjusting the temperature of the first type target air supply area with the absolute value of the temperature difference greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold value first, and then adjusting the temperature of the second type target air supply area with the absolute value of the temperature difference less than the temperature difference threshold value, is beneficial to accelerating the speed of adjusting the temperature of each target area to the target temperature of the target area, so that the indoor temperature reaches the user set temperature more quickly.

[0071] Optionally, the air direction adjusting structure further comprises a deflector.

[0072] Optionally, according to the comparison result, the air direction adjusting mechanism is controlled, comprising: if all the target areas are the first type target air supply area or the second type target air supply area, the deflector is controlled to continuously swing to uniformly supply air to all the target areas. Otherwise, the direction of the deflector is periodically adjusted to cyclically supply air to the first type target air supply area and the second type target air supply area.

[0073] In this way, the deflector is more accurately controlled to supply air to different types of target areas in different situations, which is beneficial to making the temperature of each target area reach the target temperature of the target area more quickly in different situations, so that the indoor temperature reaches the user set temperature more quickly.

[0074] The continuously swinging the deflector to uniformly supply air to all the target areas comprises: controlling the deflector to swing from the uppermost gear of the deflector to the lowermost gear of the deflector, and then controlling the deflector to swing from the lowermost gear of the deflector to the uppermost gear of the deflector, thereby repeating the cycle.

[0075] In this way, it is beneficial to control the deflector to supply air to all the target areas more uniformly.

[0076] The periodically adjusting the direction of the swing blade and circulating air supply to the first type target air supply area and the second type target air supply area comprises: first controlling the swing blade to supply air to the first type target air supply area, and then controlling the swing blade to supply air to the second type target air supply area, thereby forming a cycle period. After the cycle period ends, the swing blade enters the next cycle period.

[0077] In this way, periodically adjusting the temperature of the first type of target air supply area where the absolute value of the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, and then adjusting the temperature of the second type of target air supply area where the absolute value of the temperature difference is less than the temperature difference threshold, helps to speed up the adjustment of the temperature of each target area to reach the target temperature of each target area, so that the indoor temperature can reach the user's set temperature more quickly.

[0078] Optionally, within each cycle, the duration of air supply to the first type of target air supply area is d, and the duration of air supply to the second type of target air supply area is z, where d > z.

[0079] In this way, the air supply duration for target areas where the absolute value of the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold is greater than that for target areas where the absolute value of the temperature difference is less than the temperature difference threshold. This helps target areas where the absolute value of the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold to adjust to the target temperature corresponding to that target area more quickly, thereby enabling the indoor temperature to reach the user's set temperature more quickly.

[0080] Optionally, d ≤ 3 min. Optionally, d = 2 min or 3 min.

[0081] In this way, by limiting the maximum air supply duration to the target area where the absolute value of the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, it is beneficial to prevent excessive air supply to this target area.

[0082] Optionally, z ≥ 1 min. Optionally, z = 1 min or 2 min.

[0083] In this way, by limiting the minimum air supply duration for target areas where the absolute value of the temperature difference is less than the temperature difference threshold, it is beneficial to prevent the air supply volume to this target area from being too small.

[0084] Optionally, obtaining the actual temperature of each of the multiple target areas includes: obtaining one or more temperature detection values ​​within each target area; and using the average of the temperature detection values ​​for each target area as the actual temperature of that target area.

[0085] By comprehensively considering one or more temperature detection values ​​within each target area, the actual temperature of each target area can be obtained more accurately.

[0086] Optionally, the method for controlling the air conditioner provided in this disclosure is executed every n minutes. This helps prevent the air conditioner from adjusting the airflow direction adjustment mechanism too frequently.

[0087] Optionally, 9 ≤ n ≤ 12. Optionally, n = 9, 10, 11 or 12.

[0088] This helps prevent the air supply time to different target areas from being too short, thus failing to achieve the expected adjustment effect.

[0089] Optionally, the plurality of target areas further comprises a third target area, the third target area being located between the first target area and the second target area.

[0090] Optionally, before calculating the temperature difference between the actual temperature of each target area and the target temperature of the target area, the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure further comprises: taking the air conditioner target temperature as a third target temperature. The third target temperature is the target temperature of the third target area.

[0091] In this way, the space is further divided, and the target temperature of the third target area is determined, which is conducive to more accurate indoor temperature regulation and more consistent with the user set temperature.

[0092] In combination with Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, another method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises:

[0093] S301, the air conditioner obtains the actual temperature of each target area in a plurality of target areas. The plurality of target areas comprises a first target area, a second target area and a third target area, and the third target area is located between the first target area and the second target area.
