In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.

[0048] In the related technology, the sweeping robot and the air conditioner can be linked to each other. For example, the sweeping robot can recycle the condensed water of the air conditioner to prevent the condensed water from spilling and reuse the condensed water. However, there is no feedback adjustment between the sweeping robot and the air conditioner, making it difficult to achieve linked cleaning of the room, and the level of intelligence is low.

[0049] The cabinet air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present invention is an indoor unit of an air conditioner. Figure 1 The cabinet air conditioner 6 is formed with an upper air outlet 4 and a lower air outlet 3, and is internally provided with an independent first fan and a second fan, the first fan corresponds to the upper air outlet 4, the second fan corresponds to the lower air outlet 3, the upper air outlet 4 and the lower air outlet 3 work independently, and the air outlet modes and wind speeds can be different.

[0050] The upper air outlet 4 and the lower air outlet 3 are provided with shutter structures respectively, and the shutter structures adjust the air outlet directions of the upper air outlet 4 and the lower air outlet 3 under the action of the driving device. The shutter structures include transverse shutters and vertical shutters, and the transverse shutters are used to adjust the upper and lower air outlet directions of the air outlet, and the vertical shutters are used to adjust the left and right air outlet directions of the air outlet. When the transverse shutters are tilted upward relative to the horizontal direction, the air outlet directions of the upper air outlet and the lower air outlet are toward the roof direction, which reduces the blowing on the ground and can avoid disturbing the dust on the ground.

[0051] At the same time, the lower air outlet 3 is closer to the ground, and the disturbance effect on the dust on the ground is more obvious. Therefore, when using a sweeping robot, its influence on the air outlet needs to be considered. Secondly, the total air volume of the upper and lower air outlets is balanced to maintain the indoor heat exchange demand. When the air volume of the lower air outlet decreases, the air volume of the upper air outlet increases to ensure that the heat exchange efficiency is constant or has small fluctuations, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0052] In some embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner 6 further includes a humidity sensor and a humidification component. The humidity sensor is used to detect the indoor humidity of the target area (i.e., the room where the cabinet air conditioner is located). The humidification component can spray humidification indoors according to demand. The spray outlet is arranged at the upper air outlet 4 or the lower air outlet 3, and the indoor humidity can be quickly adjusted during the air outlet process. It should be noted that the spray component is used to adjust the indoor humidity to improve the user experience on the one hand, and the droplet diameter of the spray can be adjusted on the other hand, and is used to absorb dust suspended in the air. The droplet diameter of the spray can be determined according to the diameter and type of the indoor suspended dust.

[0053] In some embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner 6 is provided with a distance sensor, and the sweeping robot is provided with a positioning element. The distance sensor cooperates with the positioning element to detect the real-time distance between the sweeping robot and the cabinet air conditioner.

[0054] In other embodiments, the distance sensor includes a first position sensor 1 and a second position sensor 2, and the first position sensor 1 and the second position sensor 2 are both capacitive proximity switches. The capacitive proximity switch is a position sensor with a switch output, and its measuring head constitutes one plate of a capacitor, which is mounted on a cabinet air conditioner, and the other pole is the object to be measured, that is, the sweeping robot. When the sweeping robot moves the proximity switch, the dielectric constant between the sweeping robot and the proximity switch will change, so that the circuit state connected to the measuring head changes accordingly, and the conduction of the proximity switch can be controlled, and then a signal 1 or 0 is output to the central processor. When the first position sensor 1 is at a first preset distance from the sweeping robot 5, for example, 5.0m, a first level signal is generated; when the second position sensor 2 is at a second preset distance from the sweeping robot 5, for example, 2.0m, a second level signal is generated. The first level signal and the second level signal are high level signals 1, which are used to determine the real-time distance between the sweeping robot 5 and the cabinet air conditioner 6, and the real-time distance refers to the projection distance S of the sweeping robot 5 and the cabinet air conditioner 6 on the ground.

[0055] The control method of the cabinet air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the above cabinet air conditioner, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , then the control method of the cabinet air conditioner includes:

[0056] S100: In response to a signal for running a whole-house cleaning mode, obtaining a real-time distance between the sweeping robot and the cabinet air conditioner.

[0057] S200, generating a whole-house cleaning strategy based on the real-time distance, and adjusting the wind speed of the upper air outlet to a first target wind speed and adjusting the wind speed of the lower air outlet to a second target wind speed according to the whole-house cleaning strategy, wherein the second target wind speed is positively correlated with the real-time distance.

[0058] In step S100, the cabinet air conditioner generates a signal to run the whole-house cleaning mode according to the user's operation, which can be operated through the control panel or remote control of the cabinet air conditioner, or through the control panel and remote control of the sweeping robot, and the sweeping robot and the cabinet air conditioner can be intelligently linked. When the cabinet air conditioner runs the whole-house cleaning mode, the real-time distance between the sweeping robot and the cabinet air conditioner is first obtained.

[0059] In some cases, before responding to the signal of running the whole-house cleaning mode, it is necessary to determine how to switch to the whole-house cleaning mode according to the operating status of the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot, including the following steps:

[0060] S101. Obtain the operating status of the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot.

[0061] S102: Determine that both the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot are in the off state, and then generate a signal for running the whole-house cleaning mode by one key according to the user's selection during startup.

[0062] S103: Determine that the cabinet air conditioner is in the on state and the sweeping robot is in the off state, and then select whether to generate a signal for running the whole-house cleaning mode according to the prompt information when starting the sweeping robot.

[0063] In step S101, the operating states of the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot include a power-on state and a power-off state, and the operating states are not necessarily synchronized, so it is necessary to determine the startup method of the whole-house cleaning mode according to different situations.

[0064] In step S102, when the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot are both in the off state, when starting the cabinet air conditioner or the sweeping robot, the whole-house cleaning mode can be turned on with one click according to the user's choice, realizing the IoT control to turn on the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot.

[0065] In step S103, when the cabinet air conditioner is in the on state and the sweeping robot is in the off state, if indoor cleaning is not performed, the cabinet air conditioner performs its own function according to the originally set mode. If indoor cleaning is to be achieved by the sweeping robot, when starting the sweeping robot, choose whether to generate a signal to run the whole-house cleaning mode according to the prompt information.

[0066] Steps S101 to S103 mention two ways of starting the whole-house cleaning mode, which can be selected at any stage in actual use.

[0067] In step S200, the real-time distance between the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot will affect the cleaning effect of the sweeping robot. For example, the disturbance effect of the upper and lower air outlets on the dust on the ground is closely related to the real-time distance. Therefore, a whole-house cleaning strategy can be generated based on the real-time distance. The whole-house cleaning strategy takes into account the influence of the upper and lower air outlets on the cleaning process of the sweeping robot, as well as the indoor cooling and heating effects after adjusting the air outlet direction or air outlet speed. In this embodiment, the whole-house cleaning strategy at least takes into account the influence of the air outlet speeds of the upper and lower air outlets on the cleaning process of the sweeping robot. Therefore, according to the whole-house cleaning strategy, the wind speed of the upper air outlet is adjusted to the first target wind speed, and the wind speed of the lower air outlet is adjusted to the second target wind speed. The second target wind speed is positively correlated with the real-time distance.

[0068] Among them, the second target wind speed is positively correlated with the real-time distance, including the following two situations:

[0069] First, as the real-time distance between the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot increases, the working area of ​​the sweeping robot is farther away from the cabinet air conditioner. At this time, the lower air outlet has less dust disturbance on the working area of ​​the sweeping robot. Therefore, the lower air outlet can be maintained at the set wind speed mode, and there is no need to consider or less consideration of the impact of the lower air outlet air on the whole-house cleaning process of the sweeping robot.

[0070] Second, as the real-time distance between the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot decreases, the working area of ​​the sweeping robot is closer to the cabinet air conditioner. At this time, the lower air outlet causes greater dust disturbance in the working area of ​​the sweeping robot. Therefore, the air outlet speed of the lower air outlet should be reduced, and the impact of the air outlet on the whole-house cleaning process of the sweeping robot needs to be considered.

[0071] At the same time, in order to maintain the stability of the indoor temperature, the total air volume of the upper air outlet and the lower air outlet is balanced to maintain the indoor heat exchange demand. When the air volume of the lower air outlet decreases, the air volume of the upper air outlet increases to ensure that the heat exchange efficiency is constant or fluctuates less, thereby improving the user's comfort. Therefore, the first target air outlet speed and the second target air outlet speed can be adjusted synchronously to keep the total air volume of the cabinet air conditioner balanced.

[0072] When the cabinet air conditioner runs in the whole-house cleaning mode, the wind speed of the upper and lower air outlets is adjusted according to the real-time distance between the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot, so as to prevent the air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner from affecting the cleaning process of the sweeping robot, reduce the disturbance of ground dust, improve the cleaning effect of the sweeping robot, and realize the intelligent linkage of the sweeping robot and the cabinet air conditioner, so as to achieve better whole-house cleaning effect.

[0073] In some embodiments, the steps of generating a whole-house cleaning strategy based on the real-time distance, and adjusting the wind speed of the upper air outlet to the first target wind speed and adjusting the wind speed of the lower air outlet to the second target wind speed according to the whole-house cleaning strategy specifically include:

[0074] S210. If it is determined that the real-time distance is greater than the first preset distance, a first target wind speed is determined according to the current wind speed mode of the upper air outlet, and a second target wind speed is determined according to the current wind speed mode of the lower air outlet.

[0075] S220: If it is determined that the real-time distance is between the first preset distance and the second preset distance, the first target wind speed is determined according to the current wind speed mode of the upper air outlet, and the minimum wind speed of the lower air outlet is determined as the second target wind speed.

[0076] S230: If it is determined that the real-time distance is less than the second preset distance, a preset rotation speed is added to the current wind speed of the upper air outlet as the first target wind speed, and the second target wind speed is determined to be zero.

[0077] In step S210, when the real-time distance is greater than the first preset distance, for example, the real-time distance is greater than 5.0m, the cabinet air conditioner is far away from the working area of ​​the sweeping robot, and there is no need to adjust the wind speeds of the upper and lower air outlets. The first target wind speed can be determined according to the current wind speed mode of the upper air outlet, and the second target wind speed can be determined according to the current wind speed mode of the lower air outlet.

[0078] In step S220, when the real-time distance is between the first preset distance and the second preset distance, for example, between 2.0m and 5.0m, the air outlet from the lower air outlet will have a certain degree of influence on the cleaning process of the sweeping robot, and may disturb the dust in the working area of ​​the sweeping robot. Therefore, the wind speed of the lower air outlet is adjusted to the lowest wind speed to minimize the impact on the sweeping robot, thereby realizing the linkage between the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot.

[0079] In step S230, when the real-time distance is less than the second preset distance, the lower air outlet has a greater impact on the working area of ​​the sweeping robot and can directly blow away nearby dust, seriously interfering with the work of the sweeping robot. At this time, the lower air outlet can be closed or the wind speed of the lower air outlet can be adjusted to zero.

[0080] At the same time, when the lower air outlet stops working, the heat exchange efficiency between the cabinet air conditioner and the indoor air decreases overall. Therefore, the upper air outlet increases the preset speed as the first target wind speed based on the current wind speed, for example, increasing it by 200 rpm. The heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner is improved through the upper air outlet, thereby improving the user's actual experience.

[0081] In some embodiments, transverse shutters are provided at both the upper air outlet and the lower air outlet, and the step of generating a whole-house cleaning strategy based on the real-time distance further includes:

[0082] S261, obtaining a first real-time angle of the transverse louver at the upper air outlet and a second real-time angle of the transverse louver at the lower air outlet.

[0083] S262. According to the whole-house cleaning strategy, the transverse louvers of the upper air outlet are adjusted from a first real-time angle to a first target angle, and the transverse louvers of the lower air outlet are adjusted from a second real-time angle to a second target angle, wherein the first target angle and the second target angle are inclined upward relative to the horizontal angle.

[0084] In step S261 and step S262, when the whole-house cleaning strategy is generated based on the real-time distance, the angles of the transverse louvers at the upper air outlet and the transverse louvers at the lower air outlet can be adjusted, and the transverse louvers at the upper air outlet are adjusted from the first real-time angle to the first target angle, and the transverse louvers at the lower air outlet are adjusted from the second real-time angle to the second target angle. The first target angle and the second target angle are inclined upward relative to the horizontal angle. At this time, the air outlet direction of the upper and lower air outlets avoids the ground, reducing interference with the working area of ​​the sweeping robot, and helping the sweeping robot to efficiently remove dust indoors.

[0085] In some embodiments, the step of obtaining the real-time distance between the sweeping robot and the cabinet air conditioner specifically includes:

[0086] S110 , obtaining a first level signal and a second level signal.

[0087] S120: Determine that both the first level signal and the second level signal do not exist, and the real-time distance is greater than the first preset distance.

[0088] S130: Determine that the first level signal exists and the second level signal does not exist, and the real-time distance is between the first preset distance and the second preset distance.

[0089] S140: Determine that both the first level signal and the second level signal exist, and the real-time distance is less than or equal to the second preset distance.

[0090] It should be noted that when the distance between the sweeping robot and the cabinet air conditioner is less than or equal to the first preset distance, the first position sensor generates a first level signal; when the distance between the sweeping robot and the cabinet air conditioner is less than or equal to the second preset distance, the second position sensor generates a second level signal; the first preset distance and the second preset distance refer to the projection distance between the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot on the ground.

[0091] When both the first level signal and the second level signal do not exist, the real-time distance is greater than the first preset distance, for example, 5.0 m.

[0092] When the first level signal exists but the second level signal does not exist, the real-time distance is between the first preset distance and the second preset distance, for example, between 2.0 m and 5.0 m.

[0093] When both the first level signal and the second level signal exist, the real-time distance is smaller than the second preset distance, for example, smaller than 2.0 m.

[0094] In some embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner further includes a humidity sensor and a humidification component, and the step of obtaining the real-time distance between the sweeping robot and the cabinet air conditioner also includes:

[0095] S251. Obtain the indoor humidity in the target area.

[0096] S252: Generate an air dust removal strategy according to the indoor humidity, and adjust the air outlet mode and humidification mode of the cabinet air conditioner according to the air dust removal strategy.

[0097] It is understandable that the humidity in the air will affect the efficiency of dust adsorption in indoor air. For example, when the humidity is high, the suspended dust in the room will quickly combine with the suspended droplets. When it condenses to a certain degree, it will fall to the ground and adhere to the ground. Then, it can be cleaned by a sweeping robot, which can achieve the cleaning of the indoor air and then the cleaning of the air and the ground in the whole house.

[0098] In step S252, an air dust removal strategy is generated according to the indoor humidity, that is, when the indoor humidity is high, the indoor air dust removal is completed using the original indoor humidity, and when the indoor humidity is low, the indoor air dust removal is achieved through the humidification component.

[0099] In some embodiments, the steps of generating an air dust removal strategy according to the indoor humidity and adjusting the air outlet mode and humidification mode of the cabinet air conditioner according to the air dust removal strategy specifically include:

[0100] S2521. If it is determined that the indoor humidity is lower than the set humidity, the indoor humidity is increased to a level greater than or equal to the set humidity through the humidification component, and then air is continuously supplied for the first preset time period.

[0101] S2522: If it is determined that the indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the set humidity, the cabinet air conditioner is controlled to operate in a high air supply mode and continue for a second preset time period.

[0102] In step S2521, when the indoor humidity is lower than the set humidity, for example, the indoor humidity is lower than 80%, the dust in the indoor air has a low rate of combining with water molecules, and the humidification component can be used to spray indoors to increase the indoor humidity, which helps the water molecules or suspended droplets to combine with the indoor suspended dust, and then the suspended dust quickly falls to the indoor floor, and then is cleaned by the sweeping robot. At the same time, continuous air supply helps the indoor suspended dust to quickly combine with water molecules.

[0103] In step S2522, when the indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the set humidity, the cabinet air conditioner is controlled to run in high air supply mode and continue for a second preset time period, which helps to quickly combine indoor suspended dust with water molecules, thereby achieving indoor air cleaning.

[0104] In some embodiments, the step of generating an air dust removal strategy according to the indoor humidity, and adjusting the air outlet mode and humidification mode of the cabinet air conditioner according to the air dust removal strategy, further includes:

[0105] S253, controlling the cabinet air conditioner to stop blowing air and continuing the air blowing for a third preset time period.

[0106] In step S253, the indoor air is humidified by the humidification component, or the original indoor humidity is used to accelerate the absorption of suspended dust in the air. After a period of high wind speed operation, it is helpful for the combination of suspended droplets and suspended dust. Some turbid droplets fall and adhere to the ground, and some suspended droplets still slowly fall in the air. If the sweeping robot is started immediately, the suspended droplets in the falling process cannot be completely removed. Therefore, after adjusting the air outlet mode and humidification mode of the cabinet air conditioner according to the air dust removal strategy, the cabinet air conditioner is controlled to stop the air outlet and continue for the third preset time to reserve time for the suspended droplets to fall. At this time, the cleaning effect is better. The third preset time can be determined according to the spray droplet diameter of the humidification component. The larger the droplet diameter of the spray, the faster the descent speed, the shorter the third preset time, the smaller the droplet diameter, the longer the third preset time, and the spray droplet diameter is negatively correlated with the third preset time. Before determining the third preset time, the droplet diameter of the spray can be determined, and then the corresponding relationship between the two is determined.

[0107] In some embodiments, a whole-house cleaning strategy is generated based on the real-time distance, and the wind speed of the upper air outlet is adjusted to the first target wind speed and the wind speed of the lower air outlet is adjusted to the second target wind speed according to the whole-house cleaning strategy, and then the steps further include:

[0108] S301, continuously detecting the real-time distance between the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot.

[0109] S302: If it is determined that the real-time distance has changed, the wind speed of the cabinet air conditioner is adjusted within a fourth preset time period.

[0110] In step S302, after the whole-house cleaning strategy is determined and executed according to the real-time distance between the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot, the position of the sweeping robot changes in real time. When crossing the first preset distance or the second preset distance, the operation mode of the cabinet air conditioner will change, and the wind speed of the cabinet air conditioner will be adjusted within the fourth preset time. The fourth preset time is no more than 30 seconds. The adjustment process is relatively fast, and the efficient linkage between the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot is achieved as much as possible, and the cleaning effect is better.

[0111] A cabinet air conditioner provided according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention comprises a memory, a processor and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the processor executes the program, steps of a control method for the cabinet air conditioner provided according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention are implemented.

[0112] When the cabinet air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present invention runs the whole-house cleaning mode, the wind speed of the upper air outlet and the lower air outlet is adjusted according to the real-time distance between the cabinet air conditioner and the sweeping robot, so as to prevent the air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner from affecting the cleaning process of the sweeping robot, reduce the disturbance of ground dust, improve the cleaning effect of the sweeping robot, realize the intelligent linkage of the sweeping robot and the cabinet air conditioner, and achieve better whole-house cleaning effect.

[0113] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
