[0035] In combination with Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, which comprises:

[0036] S201, the air conditioner determines the position of the user.

[0037] S202, the air conditioner adjusts the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the position of the user, so that the user feels a constant wind speed at any position in the room, and the user's body feels a body feeling suitable for the set wind speed.

[0038] The method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can adjust the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the position of the user, so that the user can feel a constant wind speed at any position in the room, and the user's body feels a set wind speed that is suitable for the body. In the case of the air conditioner running in the cooling mode, when the cold wind blows on the user, the user can avoid feeling that the cold wind is large or small, the user's blowing feeling is improved, the incidence of air conditioning disease of the user is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0039] Optionally, the set wind speed can be 0.5 m / s. In this way, when the wind blowing on the user is 0.5 m / s, people often feel that the air is slightly flowing and not too cold, and the body feels suitable. The fan speed of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the position of the user, so that the user can feel a constant wind speed at any position in the room, and the wind speed is 0.5 m / s, which is suitable for the body. In the case of the air conditioner running in the cooling mode, when the cold wind blows on the user, the user can avoid feeling that the cold wind is large or small, the user's blowing feeling is improved, the incidence of air conditioning disease of the user is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0040] Optionally, the air conditioner adjusts the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the position of the user, including: the air conditioner determines the distance d between the position of the user and the position of the air conditioner. The air conditioner calculates the target fan speed n according to d. The air conditioner adjusts the fan speed of the air conditioner to n. Specifically, the air conditioner determines the distance d between the position of the user and the position of the air conditioner, including: the air conditioner determines the actual distance d0 between the position of the user and the position of the air conditioner. The distance d between the position of the user and the position of the air conditioner is obtained by rounding up d0. In this way, the fan speed of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the distance d between the position of the user and the position of the air conditioner, so that the user can feel a constant wind speed at any position in the room, and the user's body feels a set wind speed that is suitable for the body. In the case of the air conditioner running in the cooling mode, when the cold wind blows on the user, the user can avoid feeling that the cold wind is large or small, the user's blowing feeling is improved, the incidence of air conditioning disease of the user is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0041] Optionally, the air conditioner calculates n according to d, including: the air conditioner determines that n is positively correlated with d. In this way, the fan speed n is positively correlated with the distance d between the position of the user and the position of the air conditioner, the farther the user is from the air conditioner, the greater the fan speed, and the closer the user is to the air conditioner, the smaller the fan speed. It is beneficial to better adjust the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the position of the user, so that the user can feel a constant wind speed at any position in the room, and the user's body feels a set wind speed that is suitable for the body. In the case of the air conditioner running in the cooling mode, when the cold wind blows on the user, the user can avoid feeling that the cold wind is large or small, the user's blowing feeling is improved, the incidence of air conditioning disease of the user is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0042] Optionally, the air conditioner determines that n is positively correlated with d, comprising: in the case that d is in a first distance interval, the air conditioner determines that n is in a first linear relationship with d, and n is in a second speed interval. In the case that d is in a third distance interval, the air conditioner determines that n is in a second linear relationship with d, and n is in a fourth speed interval. Wherein, the first distance interval is smaller than the third distance interval, and the second distance interval is smaller than the fourth distance interval. Specifically, the value of the first distance interval can be [0, 6m). The value of the third distance interval can be [6m, +∞). The value of the second speed interval can be [215n / min, 725n / min). The value of the fourth speed interval can be [750n / min, +∞). In this way, the fan speed n is in a two-segment linear relationship with the distance d between the position where the user is located and the position where the air conditioner is located. When d is in the smaller first distance interval, n is smaller, and n is in the first linear relationship with d. When d is in the larger third distance interval, n is larger, and n is in the second linear relationship with d. The farther the user is from the air conditioner, the larger the fan speed. The closer the user is to the air conditioner, the smaller the fan speed. It is beneficial to better adjust the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the position where the user is located, so that the wind speed felt by the user at any position in the room is constant, and the user's body feeling wind speed is a body feeling suitable set wind speed. In the case that the air conditioner runs in a cooling mode, when the cold wind blows on the user, it avoids the user feeling that the cold wind is large or small, improves the user's blowing feeling, reduces the incidence of user air conditioning disease, and improves the user experience.

[0043] Optionally, the air conditioner determines that n is in a first linear relationship with d, comprising: the air conditioner calculates n=n0+k1*d. Wherein, n0 is a first set speed, and k1 is a first proportional coefficient. Specifically, the value of n0 can be 215n / min, and the value of k1 can be 85. In this way, when d is in the smaller first distance interval, n is smaller, and n=n0+k1*d. The farther the user is from the air conditioner, the larger the fan speed. The closer the user is to the air conditioner, the smaller the fan speed. It is beneficial to better adjust the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the position where the user is located, so that the wind speed felt by the user at any position in the room is constant, and the user's body feeling wind speed is a body feeling suitable set wind speed. In the case that the air conditioner runs in a cooling mode, when the cold wind blows on the user, it avoids the user feeling that the cold wind is large or small, improves the user's blowing feeling, reduces the incidence of user air conditioning disease, and improves the user experience.

[0044] Optionally, the air conditioner determines that n and d are in a second linear relationship, including: the air conditioner calculates n=k2*d. Wherein, k2 is a second proportional coefficient, and k1k2. Specifically, the value of k2 can be 125. In this way, n is larger when d is in a larger third distance interval, n=k2*d, while ensuring that k1k2. The farther the user is from the air conditioner, the larger the fan speed. The closer the user is to the air conditioner, the smaller the fan speed. It is beneficial to better adjust the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the position of the user, so that the user feels a constant wind speed at any position in the room, and the user feels a comfortable set wind speed. In the case that the air conditioner runs in a cooling mode, when cold air blows on the user, it avoids the user feeling that the cold air is large or small, improves the user's blowing feeling, reduces the incidence of user air conditioning disease, and improves the user experience.

[0045] In combination Figure 3 As shown in the figure, optionally, adjusting the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the position of the user so that the user feels a constant wind speed at any position in the room, and the user feels a comfortable set wind speed, including: in the case that the position of the user is in the fan sweeping range, adjusting the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the position of the user so that the user feels a constant wind speed at any position in the room, and the user feels a comfortable set wind speed. Specifically, the fan sweeping range includes: from 35° vertical left to 35° vertical right. In this way, it is beneficial to better adjust the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the position of the user, so that the user feels a constant wind speed at any position in the room, and the user feels a comfortable set wind speed. In the case that the air conditioner runs in a cooling mode, when cold air blows on the user, it avoids the user feeling that the cold air is large or small, improves the user's blowing feeling, reduces the incidence of user air conditioning disease, and improves the user experience.

[0046] Optionally, the relationship between d0, n, d, and the user's felt wind speed is shown in Table 1:

[0047] Table 1 Relationship between d0, n, d, and the user's felt wind speed

[0048]

[0049] In this way, d0 is determined according to the actual distance between the position of the user and the position of the air conditioner, the distance d between the position of the user and the position of the air conditioner, and the fan speed n of the air conditioner is adjusted according to d, so that the user feels a constant wind speed at any position in the room, and the wind speed is a comfortable 0.5m / s. In the case that the air conditioner runs in a cooling mode, when cold air blows on the user, it avoids the user feeling that the cold air is large or small, improves the user's blowing feeling, reduces the incidence of user air conditioning disease, and improves the user experience.

[0054] Optionally, the air conditioner adjusts the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the number of users and the position where the user is located, comprising: in the case of one user, the air conditioner adjusts the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the position where the user is located. In the case of two users, the air conditioner runs in the powerful mode according to the target temperature. In the case of indoor temperature greater than or equal to the target temperature, the air conditioner adjusts the outflow angle to the rightmost wind. In the case of more than two users, the air conditioner runs in the powerful mode according to the target temperature. In the case of indoor temperature greater than or equal to the target temperature, the air conditioner adjusts the outflow angle to the left and right swing wind. In this way, in the case of one user, the fan speed of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the number of users and the position where the user is located, so that the wind speed felt by the user at any position in the room is constant, and the user feels the set wind speed. In the case of two users, first run in the powerful mode to the target temperature, and then adjust the outflow angle to the rightmost wind to avoid the mode, so that the wind blowing on the user is not large, the wind speed felt by the user at any position in the room is constant, and the user feels the set wind speed. In the case of more than two users, first run in the powerful mode to the target temperature, and then adjust the outflow angle to the left and right swing wind, so that the wind blowing on the user is not large, the wind speed felt by the user at any position in the room is constant, and the user feels the set wind speed.

[0057] Optionally, the air conditioner determines that n and d are in a first linear relationship, including: the air conditioner calculates n = n0 + k1 * d. Wherein, n0 is a first set speed, and k1 is a first proportional coefficient. Specifically, the value of n0 can be 215n / min, and the value of k1 can be 85. In this way, when the number of users is one, n is smaller when d is in the smaller first distance interval, n = n0 + k1 * d. The farther the user is from the air conditioner, the larger the fan speed. The closer the user is to the air conditioner, the smaller the fan speed. It is beneficial to better adjust the fan speed of the air conditioner according to the position of the user, so that the user feels a constant wind speed at any position in the room, and the user feels a comfortable set wind speed. When the air conditioner is running in a cooling mode, the cold wind blows on the user, avoiding the user feeling that the cold wind is large or small, improving the user's blowing feeling, reducing the incidence of user air conditioning disease, and improving the user experience.
