[0044] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings).

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions; for example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0048] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a method for optimizing the structure of an air conditioner, comprising:

[0049] S100, establish a planar coordinate system based on the target indoor unit model 10, wherein the width direction of the target indoor unit model 10 is the X direction and the height direction of the target indoor unit model 10 is the Y direction.

[0050] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the origin of the planar coordinate system can be set at the intersection of the side and bottom surfaces of the target indoor unit model 10. When the target indoor unit model 10 is added to the simulation software, the computer automatically controls the simulation software to establish a planar coordinate system based on the target indoor unit model 10 and execute subsequent steps.

[0051] S200, based on the motion trajectory of the air guide plate 13 and the first constraint condition of the bottom surface of the upper motor protective shell 11, determine the first design trajectory corresponding to the projection of the bottom surface in the plane coordinate system.

[0052] The first constraint is a preset condition in the computer, which is generally the minimum distance that the bottom surface of the air guide plate 13 should maintain to prevent interference with the air guide plate 13 during operation, thus obtaining a bottom surface trajectory that will not interfere with the bottom surface.

[0053] That is, the computer continues to execute the air conditioning structure optimization method, and determines the first design trajectory in the simulation software based on the preset first constraint conditions.

[0054] S300, based on the first design trajectory, designs the bottom surface to constrain the projection of the bottom surface in the plane coordinate system to coincide with the first design trajectory.

[0055] Specifically, the projection of the bottom surface in the plane coordinate system is constrained to coincide with the first design trajectory, so that the newly formed bottom surface has a trajectory that meets the first constraint condition, thereby avoiding interference between the air guide plate 13 and the bottom surface when rotating.

[0056] That is, the computer program continues to execute the air conditioner structure optimization method, and based on the first function curve, constrains the edge of the bottom surface to coincide with the first design trajectory.

[0057] It is understood that the present invention can obtain a first design trajectory that satisfies the condition by presetting the first constraint condition to the minimum distance that the bottom surface of the air guide plate 13 should maintain to prevent interference between the air guide plate 13 and the air guide plate 13 during operation, and constrain the projection of the bottom surface in the plane coordinate system to coincide with the first design trajectory, so that the air guide plate 13 will not interfere with the bottom surface when rotating.

[0058] like Figures 3-4 As shown, in one embodiment, S200, based on the movement trajectory of the air guide plate 13 and the first constraint condition of the bottom surface of the upper motor protective shell 11, the first design trajectory corresponding to the projection of the bottom surface in the planar coordinate system is determined, including:

[0059] Based on the extreme position of the air guide plate 13 rotation, the first projection of the air guide plate 13 at the extreme position is determined. The extreme position is the position where the air guide plate 13 is located when it rotates towards the bottom surface to the maximum rotatable angle.

[0060] That is, the computer continues to execute the air conditioning structure optimization method, causing the air guide plate 13 in the simulation software to rotate to the limit position, and obtains the projection of the air guide plate 13 in the plane coordinate system when it is at the limit position.

[0061] Multiple first reference points are obtained on the plane coordinate system. The first reference points are located on the side where the first projection is away from the projection of the lower motor protective shell 12. The first reference points maintain a first preset distance from the first projection.

[0062] Among them, the first reference points all maintain a first preset distance from the first projection, that is, the first reference points A1, A2, A3, A4... etc. on the plane coordinate system all maintain a first preset distance from the air guide plate 13 on the plane coordinate system.

[0063] The first design trajectory is determined based on multiple first reference points.

[0064] That is, the computer continues to execute the air conditioning structure optimization method and determines the first design trajectory based on a first reference point with multiple known coordinates.

[0065] In some embodiments, determining a first design trajectory based on a plurality of first reference points includes:

[0066] Based on multiple first reference points, perform line segment contouring to determine the first function type corresponding to the contoured line segment.

[0067] That is, the computer continues to execute the air conditioner structure optimization method. Given multiple first reference points A1, A2, A3, A4..., the multiple first reference points can be connected in sequence to form a contour line segment. After the trajectory of the contour line segment is determined, it is compared with a pre-stored function trajectory model library to determine the trajectory model of the function type corresponding to the trajectory of the contour line segment, and then the corresponding function type is determined.

[0068] Understandably, if the function type is not determined by line segment contouring but solely by the coordinates of multiple reference points, a massive number of reference points would be required, making the calculations quite difficult.

[0069] Based on the first function type, determine the number of first reference points required to solve the first function type.

[0070] Among them, based on the already determined function type, the function formula type can be determined. After the function formula type is determined, the function formula satisfied by the first reference point can be determined when the coordinates of the first reference point are known.

[0071] Specifically, the number of first reference points needed to solve the first function type is determined based on the number of coefficients in the function formula type. Generally, the number of coefficients in the function type is the same as the number of first reference points needed to solve the first function curve.

[0072] That is, the computer continues to execute the air conditioning structure optimization method, which, based on fundamental mathematics, can determine a unique function formula given the function type and reference point coordinates.

[0073] Based on the coordinates of a corresponding number of first reference points, the first function curve is determined, and the trajectory of the first function curve is determined as the first design trajectory.

[0074] That is, the computer continues to execute the air conditioner structure optimization method, and after the function formula is determined, it determines the corresponding first function curve in the plane coordinate system based on the function formula.

[0075] It is understandable that since all points on the first function curve satisfy the requirement of maintaining a first preset distance from the first projection, the trajectory of the first function curve is the first design trajectory. This constrains the projection of the bottom surface in the plane coordinate system to coincide with the first function curve, so that any point on the bottom surface can maintain a first preset distance from the air guide plate 13 at the extreme position, thereby avoiding interference between the air guide plate 13 and the bottom surface.

[0076] In some embodiments, the air conditioning structure optimization method further includes:

[0077] S400, based on the second constraint condition of the side of the upper motor protective housing 11, determine the second design trajectory corresponding to the projection of the side in the plane coordinate system.

[0078] The second constraint is a preset condition built into the computer or simulation software. When the computer program executes the air conditioning structure optimization method, it can directly invoke this condition.

[0079] Specifically, the second limiting condition on the side of the upper motor protective shell 11 is generally set to maintain a preset distance from the drive assembly 110, so that the formed upper motor protective shell 11 can accommodate the drive assembly 110 and occupy as little space as possible in the indoor unit model.

[0080] That is, the computer executes the air conditioner structure optimization method and determines the second design trajectory in the plane coordinate system that meets the second constraint condition based on the second constraint condition on the side of the upper motor protective shell 11.

[0081] S500, based on the second design trajectory, the side of the upper motor protective shell 11 is designed so that the projection of the side of the upper motor protective shell 11 in the plane coordinate system is constrained to coincide with the second design trajectory.

[0082] In the aforementioned optimized embodiment of the bottom surface, the second design trajectory determined based on the second constraint condition satisfies the second constraint condition, and therefore the side of the motor protective shell whose projection coincides with the second design trajectory also satisfies the second constraint condition.

[0083] That is, the computer continues to execute the air conditioner structure optimization method, and based on the second design trajectory, constrains the edge of the side of the upper motor protective shell 11 to coincide with the second design trajectory, thereby realizing the optimization design of the side of the upper motor protective shell.

[0084] like Figures 5-6 As shown, in some embodiments, S400, based on the second limiting condition of the side of the upper motor protective housing 11, the second design trajectory corresponding to the projection of the side of the upper motor protective housing 11 in the plane coordinate system is determined, including:

[0085] Based on the second projection of the drive component 110 inside the upper motor protective shell 11 onto the plane coordinate system, multiple second reference points are obtained, and each second reference point maintains a second preset distance from the second projection.

[0086] In this process, after the second projection of the drive assembly 110 covers the area, multiple second reference points can be determined based on the second preset distance that the side of the upper motor protective housing 11 should maintain with the edge of the second projection. The multiple second reference points maintain a preset distance with the edge of the second projection, so as to determine the minimum distance between the side of the upper motor protective housing 11 and the drive assembly 110. This ensures that the upper motor protective housing 11 can both accommodate the drive assembly 110 and occupy the indoor unit space to the minimum extent.

[0087] That is, the computer continues to execute the air conditioning structure optimization method to determine multiple second reference points.

[0088] The second reference points B1, B2, B3, B4, etc., are all kept at a second preset distance from the second projection.

[0089] The second design trajectory is determined based on multiple second reference points.

[0090] That is, the computer continues to execute the air conditioning structure optimization method and determines the second design trajectory based on multiple second reference points.

[0091] In some embodiments, determining a second design trajectory based on a plurality of second reference points includes:

[0092] Based on multiple second reference points, line segment contouring is performed to determine the second function type corresponding to the contoured line segment.

[0093] Referring to the process of determining the first function type in the aforementioned embodiments, multiple second reference points B1, B2, B3, B4... can be connected sequentially, and the obtained contour line segments can be compared with the function trajectory model library to determine the corresponding function type.

[0094] That is, the computer continues to execute the air conditioning structure optimization method and determines the second function type based on multiple second reference points.

[0095] Based on the second function type, determine the number of second reference points required to solve the second function type.

[0096] That is, the computer continues to execute the air conditioning structure optimization method to determine the number of second reference points required to solve the second function type.

[0097] Specifically, the number of second reference points needed to solve for the second function curve is determined based on the number of coefficients of the function type. Generally, the number of coefficients of the function type is the same as the number of second reference points needed to solve for the second function type.

[0098] Based on the coordinates of the corresponding number of second reference points, determine the second function curve, and determine the trajectory of the second function curve as the second design trajectory.

[0099] Referring to the method for determining the first function type in the aforementioned embodiments, the specific formula for the second function type can be determined, and the second function curve can then be determined in the plane coordinate system. The trajectory of the second function curve that satisfies the second constraint condition is then used as the second design trajectory. By constraining the side of the upper motor protective housing 11 to coincide with the trajectory of the second function curve that satisfies the second constraint condition, the upper motor protective housing 11 can both ensure that it accommodates the drive assembly 110 and minimize the space occupied by the indoor unit.

[0100] That is, the computer program continues to execute the air conditioning structure optimization method, determines the second function curve based on the coordinates of the corresponding number of second reference points, and determines the trajectory of the second function curve as the second design trajectory.

[0101] In some embodiments, the air conditioning structure optimization method includes:

[0102] S600, based on the third constraint condition of the side of the lower motor protective housing 12, determine the third function curve corresponding to the side of the lower motor protective housing 2 in the plane coordinate system.

[0103] Referring to the optimization method for the side of the upper motor protective shell 11 in the aforementioned embodiments, the third constraint is set as follows: the distance between the side of the lower motor protective shell 12 and the drive component inside the lower motor protective shell 12 is sufficient to accommodate the drive component and also to minimize the space occupied by the indoor unit.

[0104] S700, based on the third design trajectory, designs the side of the lower motor protective housing 12 to constrain the projection of the side of the lower motor protective housing 12 in the plane coordinate system to coincide with the third design trajectory.

[0105] Similarly, the side of the lower motor protective shell 12, which coincides with the third design trajectory, cooperates with the middle frame to form a space that can accommodate the drive component 110, while also minimizing the space occupied by the indoor unit.

[0106] In some embodiments, the third function curve corresponding to the side surface of the lower motor protective housing 2 in the planar coordinate system is determined based on the third limiting condition of the side surface of the lower motor protective housing 12, including:

[0107] Based on the projection of the drive component 110 inside the lower motor protective shell 12 into the plane coordinate system, multiple third reference points are obtained, and each third reference point maintains a third preset distance from the third projection.

[0108] Referring to the determination of the second reference point in the aforementioned embodiment, after the coverage of the third projection of the drive component 110, multiple third reference points can be determined based on the third preset distance that the side of the lower motor protective shell 12 should maintain with the edge of the third projection. The multiple third reference points maintain a preset distance with the edge of the third projection, so as to determine the minimum distance between the side of the lower motor protective shell 12 and the drive component 110. This ensures that the lower motor protective shell 12 can both accommodate the space of the drive component 110 and occupy the least amount of indoor unit space.

[0109] The third design trajectory is determined based on multiple third reference points.

[0110] The process for determining the third function curve can be referred to the process for determining the second design trajectory in the previous embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0111] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, which includes an air conditioner structure designed based on the above-described air conditioner structure optimization method. The indoor unit of the air conditioner includes an upper motor protective shell 11, a lower motor protective shell 12, and an air guide plate 13. The air guide plate 13 is disposed between the upper motor protective shell 11 and the lower motor protective shell 12. The upper motor protective shell 11 and the lower motor protective shell 12 respectively house a drive assembly. The fixed end of the air guide plate 13 is disposed between the upper motor protective shell 11 and the lower motor protective shell 12, and the air guide plate 13 can rotate with the fixed end as the rotation center.

[0112] Since the air conditioner adopts the air conditioner structure designed by the above-mentioned air conditioner structure optimization method, it has at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0113] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides a storage medium, which stores a computer program that is loaded by a processor to perform the following steps;

[0114] Establish a planar coordinate system for the target indoor unit model, wherein the width direction of the target indoor unit model is the X direction and the height direction of the target indoor unit model is the Y direction;

[0115] Based on the motion trajectory of the air guide plate 13 and the first constraint condition of the bottom surface of the upper motor protective shell 11, the first design trajectory corresponding to the projection of the bottom surface in the plane coordinate system is determined.

[0116] The bottom surface is designed based on the first design trajectory, so that the projection of the bottom surface in the plane coordinate system is constrained to coincide with the first design trajectory.

[0117] Through the above steps, the first constraint condition is preset to ensure that the air guide plate 13 and the upper motor protective shell 11 do not interfere with each other, thereby obtaining the first design trajectory that satisfies the condition. The projection of the bottom surface in the plane coordinate system is constrained to coincide with the function curve, thereby realizing the avoidance design of the bottom surface shape of the upper motor protective shell 11, so that the air guide plate 13 and the optimized bottom surface will not interfere with each other.
