[0024] To provide a more detailed understanding of the features and technical content of the embodiments of this disclosure, the implementation of the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0030] In some embodiments, air from the air conditioner's inlet passes through the heat exchanger and is then blown out from the outlet. The operating environment of the air conditioner may experience humidity fluctuations. When the air conditioner is in a high-humidity environment, water will form on the heat exchanger, increasing air resistance and reducing the airflow from the outlet, resulting in a poor user experience. This application obtains the current humidity level of the air inlet. Based on this humidity level, operating parameters are determined, and the air conditioner is triggered to operate according to these parameters. This method of determining operating parameters based on the current humidity level allows for adjustments to the air conditioner's operating parameters according to the current humidity environment, rather than having the air conditioner operate according to the initial settings in different humidity environments. This enables more reasonable control of the air conditioner, facilitating stable airflow from the outlet in varying humidity levels and improving the user experience.

[0031] Combination Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, a method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, comprising:

[0032] Step S101: The air conditioner obtains the current humidity of the air inlet.

[0033] In step S102, the air conditioner determines the operating parameters based on the current humidity of the air inlet and triggers the air conditioner to operate according to the operating parameters.

[0034] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure acquires the current humidity at the air inlet. Operating parameters are determined based on this humidity, and the air conditioner is triggered to operate according to these parameters. This method adjusts the air conditioner's operating parameters according to the current humidity environment, rather than allowing it to operate according to initial settings in different humidity environments. This enables more efficient control of the air conditioner, ensuring stable airflow at the outlet in varying humidity levels and improving the user experience.

[0035] In some embodiments, a first humidity sensor and a first air pressure sensor are provided at the air inlet of the air conditioner. A second humidity sensor and a second air pressure sensor are provided at the air outlet of the air conditioner. The humidity at the air inlet is obtained through the first humidity sensor. The air pressure at the air inlet is measured through the first air pressure sensor. The humidity at the air outlet is obtained through the second humidity sensor. The air pressure at the air outlet is measured through the second air pressure sensor.

[0036] In some embodiments, after a user sets a target temperature for the air conditioner, the air conditioner records the following information at preset intervals: the inlet humidity at that time, the outlet humidity at that time, the inlet air pressure at that time, and the outlet air pressure at that time. Following chronological order, the inlet humidity at the last recorded time is used as the inlet humidity at the current time; the outlet humidity at the last recorded time is used as the outlet humidity at the current time; the inlet air pressure at the last recorded time is used as the inlet air pressure at the current time; and the outlet air pressure at the last recorded time is used as the outlet air pressure at the current time. Similarly, the inlet humidity at the time preceding the last recorded time is used as the inlet humidity at the previous time; the outlet humidity at the time preceding the last recorded time is used as the outlet humidity at the previous time; the inlet air pressure at the time preceding the last recorded time is used as the inlet air pressure at the previous time; and the outlet air pressure at the time preceding the last recorded time is used as the outlet air pressure at the previous time. For example: The air conditioner records the inlet humidity as A1, the outlet humidity as B1, the inlet air pressure as C1, and the outlet air pressure as D1 at a time of 12:23:21 on May 19, 2023, with a preset interval of 5 seconds. The corresponding inlet humidity is A2, the outlet humidity is B2, the inlet air pressure is C2, and the outlet air pressure is D2 at 12:23:26 on May 19, 2023. Following the chronological order, the last recorded time is 12:23:26 on May 19, 2023. Inlet humidity A2 is used as the current inlet humidity, outlet humidity B2 as the current outlet humidity, inlet air pressure C2 as the current inlet air pressure, and outlet air pressure D2 as the current outlet air pressure. In chronological order, the previous time before the last recorded time is 12:23:21 on May 19, 2023. The inlet humidity A1 is taken as the inlet humidity of the previous time, the outlet humidity B1 as the outlet humidity of the previous time, the inlet air pressure C1 as the inlet air pressure of the previous time, and the outlet air pressure D1 as the outlet air pressure of the previous time.

[0037] Optionally, the operating parameters include the fan speed. The operating parameters are determined based on the current inlet humidity, including: if the current inlet humidity is within a first preset range, obtaining the current outlet air pressure and the previous outlet air pressure. The first fan speed is determined based on a first pressure difference; the first pressure difference is the difference between the current outlet air pressure and the previous outlet air pressure. Thus, by analyzing the change in the difference between the current and previous outlet air pressures, it is possible to infer whether water is generated on the heat exchanger, thereby inferring the magnitude of the air resistance and, consequently, reasonably determining the first fan speed.

[0038] Optionally, determining the first fan speed based on the first pressure difference includes: if the first pressure difference is greater than a first preset pressure, obtaining the current fan speed; and calculating the first fan speed using the current fan speed according to a first preset algorithm.

[0039] Optionally, determining the first fan speed based on a first pressure difference includes: acquiring the current inlet air pressure and the previous inlet air pressure. The first fan speed is then determined based on a second pressure difference and the first pressure difference. The second pressure difference is the difference between the current inlet air pressure and the previous inlet air pressure. In this way, determining the first fan speed based on both the first and second pressure differences facilitates better maintenance of stable airflow at the outlet in different humidity environments.

[0040] Furthermore, determining the first fan speed based on the second and first pressure differences includes: obtaining the current fan speed when the first pressure difference is greater than a first preset pressure and the second pressure difference is less than a second preset pressure. The first fan speed is then calculated using a first preset algorithm based on the current fan speed. The first preset pressure is greater than the second preset pressure. This allows for a more accurate determination of water generation in the heat exchanger when the first pressure difference is large and the second pressure difference is small, necessitating an adjustment to the fan speed.

[0041] Furthermore, the first fan speed is obtained by calculating using the current fan speed according to the first preset algorithm, including: calculating the first fan speed = current fan speed + current fan speed × first wind speed compensation coefficient. Here, "+" represents addition and "×" represents multiplication.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first wind speed compensation coefficient is preset, for example, 10%. Alternatively, the first wind speed compensation coefficient is obtained by: obtaining the current season; using a preset first compensation database, performing a lookup operation on the current season to obtain the corresponding first wind speed compensation coefficient. The first compensation database stores the correspondence between the current season and the first wind speed compensation coefficient. This is because users may experience different wind sensations in different seasons. Therefore, determining the first wind speed compensation coefficient based on the current season ensures that when the air conditioner operates at the first fan speed, the air blown from the air conditioner's outlet is more in line with the user experience.

[0043] In some embodiments, the current season is obtained by receiving the current season from the air conditioning receiving server.

[0044] Combination Figure 2 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, another method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, including:

[0045] Step S201: The air conditioner obtains the current humidity of the air inlet.

[0046] In step S202, when the air inlet humidity is within the first preset range at the current moment, the air conditioner obtains the air outlet pressure at the current moment, the air outlet pressure at the previous moment, the air inlet pressure at the current moment, and the air inlet pressure at the previous moment.

[0047] In step S203, the air conditioner determines the speed of the first fan based on the second air pressure difference and the first air pressure difference; the first air pressure difference is the difference between the air outlet pressure at the current moment and the air outlet pressure at the previous moment; the second air pressure difference is the difference between the air inlet pressure at the current moment and the air inlet pressure at the previous moment.

[0048] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure acquires the inlet humidity at the current moment through the air conditioner. If the inlet humidity at the current moment is within a first preset range, the outlet air pressure at the current moment, the outlet air pressure at the previous moment, the inlet air pressure at the current moment, and the inlet air pressure at the previous moment are acquired. The speed of a first fan is determined based on a second pressure difference and a first pressure difference; the first pressure difference is the difference between the outlet air pressure at the current moment and the outlet air pressure at the previous moment; the second pressure difference is the difference between the inlet air pressure at the current moment and the inlet air pressure at the previous moment. Thus, determining the first fan speed based on both the first and second pressure differences facilitates better maintenance of stable airflow at the outlet in different humidity environments.

[0049] Optionally, the operating parameters include fan speed and valve opening. The operating parameters are determined based on the current inlet humidity, including: assuming the current inlet humidity is within a second preset range, acquiring the current outlet air pressure, the previous outlet air pressure, and the current outlet humidity. A second fan speed is determined based on a first air pressure difference. A first valve opening is determined based on a humidity difference. The humidity difference is the difference between the current inlet humidity and the current outlet humidity. Thus, in different humidity environments, when the air conditioner's speed changes, the humidity of the air blown out by the air conditioner may vary. Determining the first valve opening based on the humidity difference can change the humidity of the air blown out by the air conditioner, thereby better ensuring the user experience.

[0050] Optionally, determining the second fan speed based on the first pressure difference includes: if the first pressure difference is greater than a third preset pressure, obtaining the current fan speed; and calculating the second fan speed using the current fan speed according to a third preset algorithm.

[0051] Optionally, determining the second fan speed based on the first air pressure difference includes: acquiring the current air inlet pressure and the previous air inlet pressure; and determining the second fan speed based on the second air pressure difference and the first air pressure difference. In this way, determining the second fan speed based on both the first and second air pressure differences facilitates better maintenance of stable airflow at the air outlet in different humidity environments.

[0052] Furthermore, determining the second fan speed based on the second and first pressure differences includes: obtaining the current fan speed when the first pressure difference is greater than a third preset pressure and the second pressure difference is less than a fourth preset pressure; and calculating the second fan speed using the current fan speed according to a third preset algorithm. The third preset pressure is greater than the fourth preset pressure. This allows for a more accurate determination of water generation in the heat exchanger when the first pressure difference is large and the second pressure difference is small, thus necessitating an adjustment to the fan speed.

[0053] Furthermore, the second fan speed is obtained by calculating the current fan speed using the third preset algorithm, including: obtaining the second fan speed by calculating the second fan speed = current fan speed + current fan speed × second wind speed compensation coefficient.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second wind speed compensation coefficient is preset, for example, 10%. Alternatively, the second wind speed compensation coefficient is obtained by: obtaining the current season. Using a preset second compensation database, a lookup operation is performed on the current season to obtain the corresponding second wind speed compensation coefficient. The second compensation database stores the correspondence between the current season and the second wind speed compensation coefficient. Alternatively, the second wind speed compensation coefficient is obtained by: obtaining the current season and current weather. Using a preset sixth compensation database, a lookup operation is performed on the current season and current weather to obtain the second wind speed compensation coefficient corresponding to both the current season and current weather. The sixth compensation database stores the correspondence between the current season, current weather, and the second wind speed compensation coefficient. The current season is, for example, spring, summer, etc. The current weather is, for example, cloudy, rainy, sunny, etc. Since users may experience different wind sensations in different seasons, determining the second wind speed compensation coefficient based on the current season ensures that when the air conditioner operates at the second fan speed, the air blown from the air conditioner's outlet is more in line with the user experience.

[0055] Optionally, determining the opening degree of the first valve based on the humidity difference includes: if the humidity difference is greater than a preset humidity, calculating a first target humidity using the current air outlet humidity according to a second preset algorithm; and determining the opening degree of the first valve based on the first target humidity. This way, since increasing the fan speed may make the blown air very dry, determining the opening degree of the first valve based on the humidity difference can change the humidity of the air blown out by the air conditioner, making the blown air less dry and thus better ensuring the user experience.

[0056] Furthermore, the first target humidity is obtained by calculating the current air outlet humidity using the second preset algorithm, including: calculating the first target humidity as: current air outlet humidity - current air outlet humidity × first humidity compensation coefficient. Here, "-" represents subtraction.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first humidity compensation coefficient is preset, for example, 5%. Alternatively, the first humidity compensation coefficient can be obtained by: acquiring the current season; using a preset fourth compensation database, performing a lookup operation on the current season to obtain the corresponding first humidity compensation coefficient. The fourth compensation database stores the correspondence between the current season and the first humidity compensation coefficient.

[0058] Furthermore, determining the opening degree of the first valve based on the first target humidity includes: using a preset first valve opening degree database, performing a lookup operation on the first target humidity to obtain the first valve opening degree corresponding to the first target humidity. The first valve opening degree database stores the correspondence between the first target humidity and the first valve opening degree.

[0059] Combination Figure 3 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, another method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, including:

[0060] Step S301: The air conditioner obtains the current humidity of the air inlet.

[0061] In step S302, when the air inlet humidity is within the second preset range at the current moment, the air conditioner obtains the air outlet pressure at the current moment, the air outlet pressure at the previous moment, the air outlet humidity at the current moment, the air inlet pressure at the current moment, and the air inlet pressure at the previous moment.

[0062] In step S303, the air conditioner determines the second fan speed based on the second air pressure difference and the first air pressure difference.

[0063] Step S304: The air conditioner determines the opening degree of the first valve based on the humidity difference; the humidity difference is the difference between the current air inlet humidity and the current air outlet humidity.

[0064] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure acquires the inlet humidity at the current moment through the air conditioner. If the inlet humidity at the current moment is within a second preset range, the method acquires the outlet air pressure at the current moment, the outlet air pressure at the previous moment, the outlet humidity at the current moment, the inlet air pressure at the current moment, and the inlet air pressure at the previous moment. The second fan speed is determined based on a second pressure difference and a first pressure difference. The opening degree of a first valve is determined based on a humidity difference; the humidity difference is the difference between the inlet humidity at the current moment and the outlet humidity at the current moment. Thus, in different humidity environments, when the air conditioner's speed changes, the humidity of the air blown out by the air conditioner may vary. Determining the opening degree of the first valve based on the humidity difference can change the humidity of the air blown out by the air conditioner, thereby better ensuring the user's experience.

[0065] Optionally, the operating parameters include fan speed and valve opening; the operating parameters are determined based on the current inlet humidity, including: if the current inlet humidity is within a third preset range, obtaining the current outlet humidity; and determining the third fan speed and the second valve opening based on the humidity difference.

[0066] Optionally, determining the third fan speed and the second valve opening based on the humidity difference includes: obtaining the current fan speed and the current valve opening when the humidity difference is less than a second humidity threshold; calculating the third fan speed using the current fan speed according to a fourth preset algorithm; calculating the second target humidity using the current outlet humidity according to a fifth preset algorithm; and determining the second valve opening based on the second target humidity.

[0067] Furthermore, the third fan speed is obtained by calculating the current fan speed using the fourth preset algorithm, including: obtaining the third fan speed by calculating the third fan speed = current fan speed + current fan speed × third wind speed compensation coefficient.

[0068] In some embodiments, the third wind speed compensation coefficient is preset, for example, 10%. Alternatively, the third wind speed compensation coefficient is obtained by using a preset third compensation database to perform a lookup operation on the humidity difference to obtain the corresponding third wind speed compensation coefficient. The third compensation database stores the correspondence between humidity differences and the third wind speed compensation coefficient.

[0069] Furthermore, the second target humidity is obtained by calculating the current air outlet humidity using the fifth preset algorithm, including: calculating the second target humidity = current air outlet humidity - current air outlet humidity × second humidity compensation coefficient.

[0070] In some embodiments, the second humidity compensation coefficient is preset, for example, 5%. Alternatively, the second humidity compensation coefficient is obtained by performing a lookup operation on the humidity difference using a preset fifth compensation database to obtain the second humidity compensation coefficient corresponding to the humidity difference. The fifth compensation database stores the correspondence between humidity differences and the second humidity compensation coefficient.

[0071] Furthermore, determining the second valve opening based on the second target humidity includes: using a pre-set second valve opening database to perform a lookup operation on the second target humidity to obtain the corresponding second valve opening. The second valve opening database stores the correspondence between the second target humidity and the second valve opening.

[0072] In some embodiments, the value of the second preset range is greater than the value of the first preset range, and the value of the first preset range is greater than the value of the third preset range. For example: the first preset range is 60% > the current air inlet humidity > 30%. The second preset range is the current air inlet humidity > 60%. The third preset range is 30% > the current air inlet humidity.

[0073] Combination Figure 4 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, another method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, including:

[0074] Step S401: The air conditioner obtains the current humidity of the air inlet.

[0075] Step S402: If the humidity at the air inlet is within the third preset range at the current moment, the air conditioner obtains the humidity at the air outlet at the current moment.

[0076] In step S403, when the humidity difference is less than the second humidity threshold, the air conditioner obtains the current fan speed and the current valve opening.

[0077] In step S404, the air conditioner calculates the third fan speed using the current fan speed according to the fourth preset algorithm.

[0078] Step S405: The air conditioner calculates the second target humidity using the current air outlet humidity based on the fifth preset algorithm; and determines the opening degree of the second valve based on the second target humidity.

[0079] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure acquires the current inlet humidity of the air conditioner. If the current inlet humidity is within a third preset range, the current outlet humidity is acquired. If the humidity difference is less than a second humidity threshold, the current fan speed and current valve opening are obtained. A third fan speed is calculated using the current fan speed according to a fourth preset algorithm. A second target humidity is calculated using the current outlet humidity according to a fifth preset algorithm; the second valve opening is determined based on the second target humidity. Thus, in different humidity environments, the humidity of the air blown by the air conditioner may vary when the air conditioner speed changes. Determining the second valve opening based on the second target humidity better ensures a better user experience.

[0080] Combination Figure 5 As shown in the figure, this disclosure provides a device 1 for controlling an air conditioner, including: an acquisition module 2 and an operation module 3. The acquisition module 2 is configured to acquire the current air inlet humidity; the operation module 3 is configured to determine operating parameters based on the current air inlet humidity and trigger the air conditioner to operate according to the operating parameters.

[0081] The air conditioning control device provided in this embodiment acquires the current air inlet humidity via an acquisition module. The operation module determines operating parameters based on the current air inlet humidity and triggers the air conditioner to operate according to these parameters. This method of determining operating parameters based on the current air inlet humidity allows for adjustment of the air conditioner's operating parameters according to the current humidity environment, rather than having the air conditioner operate according to the set parameters in different humidity environments. This enables reasonable control of the air conditioner, facilitating stable airflow at the outlet in various humidity conditions.

[0083] The air conditioner provided in this embodiment acquires the current humidity at the air inlet. Operating parameters are determined based on this humidity, and the air conditioner is then triggered to operate according to these parameters. This method of determining operating parameters based on the current humidity level allows for adjustment of the air conditioner's operating parameters according to the ambient humidity, rather than having the air conditioner operate according to pre-set parameters in different humidity environments. This enables reasonable control of the air conditioner, facilitating the maintenance of stable airflow at the outlet in varying humidity conditions.

[0084] Furthermore, the logical instructions in the aforementioned memory 6 can be implemented as software functional units and, when sold or used as independent products, can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium.
