[0002] At present, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance in daily life. In daily use, air conditioners are usually adjusted according to parameters such as target temperature, target humidity, target wind speed, etc. manually set by users to meet the users' autonomous needs.

[0003] In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that there are at least the following problems in the related art:

[0004] The user's comfort is the result of the coupling of multiple environmental parameters. When the indoor temperature changes, the target humidity corresponding to the user's comfort will also change. However, it is difficult for users to grasp the correlation between human comfort and different environmental parameters. The target temperature, target humidity, target wind speed and other parameters they set may not necessarily bring them a better comfort experience. Users often need to make more attempts and frequently adjust the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner before they can find the appropriate parameters that meet their own comfort. Therefore, it is difficult for users to quickly enter a better comfort state, and their actual usage experience is poor.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. The summary is not an extensive review, nor is it intended to identify key / critical components or delineate the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather serves as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0007] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, device, air conditioner, and storage medium for controlling an air conditioner, which can more accurately create a comfortable indoor environment, help users quickly enter the optimal comfort state, and thus improve their actual usage experience.

[0008] In some embodiments, the method includes: obtaining indoor environmental parameters when the air conditioner runs for a preset time; importing the indoor environmental parameters into a comfort formula to calculate human comfort; when the human comfort exceeds a preset comfort range, correcting the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner according to the comfort formula; controlling the air conditioner to operate according to the corrected target environmental parameters; wherein the environmental parameters include temperature, humidity and wind speed.

[0009] In some embodiments, the device includes: a processor and a memory storing program instructions, and the processor is configured to execute the above-mentioned method for controlling an air conditioner when running the program instructions.

[0010] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes: an air conditioner body; and the above-mentioned device for controlling the air conditioner is installed on the air conditioner body.

[0011] In some embodiments, the storage medium stores program instructions, and when the program instructions are run, the above-mentioned method for controlling the air conditioner is executed.

[0012] The method, device, air conditioner, and storage medium for controlling an air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:

[0013] In the disclosed embodiment, after the air conditioner has been running stably for a preset period of time, the current indoor environmental parameters such as indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and indoor wind speed are collected, and these indoor environmental parameters are imported into the comfort formula to calculate the human comfort, thereby helping to measure the actual comfort of the user in the current environmental conditions. When the human comfort exceeds the preset comfort range, it indicates that the user's comfort is still poor after the air conditioner has been running for a period of time. At this time, the target environmental parameters set by the user are not sufficient to bring them a better comfort experience.

[0028] At present, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance in daily life. In daily use, air conditioners are usually adjusted according to parameters such as target temperature, target humidity, target wind speed, etc. manually set by users to meet the users' autonomous needs.

[0029] However, the user's comfort is the result of the coupling of multiple environmental parameters. When the indoor temperature changes, the target humidity corresponding to the user's comfort will also change. It is difficult for users to grasp the correlation between human comfort and different environmental parameters. The target temperature, target humidity, target wind speed and other parameters they set may not necessarily bring them a better comfort experience. Users often need to make more attempts and frequently adjust the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner before they can find the appropriate parameters that meet their own comfort. Therefore, it is difficult for users to quickly obtain a better comfort feeling, and their actual use experience is poor.

[0030] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0031] S101, when the air conditioner runs for a preset time, the processor obtains indoor environmental parameters.

[0032] S102, the processor imports the indoor environment parameters into the comfort formula to calculate the human comfort.

[0033] S103, when the human body comfort level exceeds a preset comfort level range, the processor corrects the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner according to a comfort level formula.

[0034] S104, the processor controls the air conditioner to operate according to the corrected target environmental parameters.

[0035] Among them, environmental parameters include temperature, humidity and wind speed.

[0036] According to the method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the air conditioner has been running stably for a preset period of time, the current indoor environmental parameters such as indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and indoor wind speed are collected, and these indoor environmental parameters are imported into the comfort formula to calculate the human comfort, thereby helping to measure the actual comfort of the user in the current environmental conditions. When the human comfort exceeds the preset comfort range, it indicates that the user's comfort is still poor after the air conditioner has been running for a period of time. At this time, the target environmental parameters set by the user are not enough to bring them a better comfort experience. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure automatically corrects the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner through the comfort formula, and makes the air conditioner run according to the corrected target environmental parameters, so as to more accurately create a comfortable indoor environment, which is conducive to the user to quickly enter the optimal comfort state, thereby improving their actual use experience.

[0037] Optionally, the preset duration ranges from [1min, 60min]. When the air conditioner runs for the preset duration, it indicates that the air conditioner is running stably, and the indoor environmental parameters are close to the target environmental parameters set by the user, which can meet the user's autonomous needs. Preferably, the preset duration is 30min. The preset duration can also be adjusted in combination with the operating conditions of the air conditioner, and can also be set to any other reasonable value such as 10min or 20min.

[0038] Optionally, the comfort formula is S=A*(|T1-T0|)+B*(|RH1-RH0|)+C*(|V1-V0|). Among them, S is human comfort, T1 is indoor temperature, T0 is reference temperature, RH1 is indoor humidity, RH0 is reference humidity, V1 is indoor wind speed, V0 is reference wind speed, A is temperature coefficient, B is humidity coefficient, and C is wind speed coefficient. In this way, taking into account the differences in the effects of different environmental parameters on human comfort, the embodiments of the present disclosure can set corresponding weight coefficients, namely, temperature coefficient A, humidity coefficient B and wind speed coefficient C. At the same time, by setting appropriate reference temperature T0, reference humidity RH0 and reference wind speed V0, the embodiments of the present disclosure can construct appropriate standards for indoor comfortable environment, and by detecting the difference between the current indoor environmental parameters and these reference environmental parameters, the user's comfort feeling under the current environmental conditions can be judged. In this way, an appropriate comfort formula can be established, which is conducive to accurately calculating human comfort.

[0039] Preferably, the temperature coefficient A is 0.6, the humidity coefficient B is 0.07, the wind speed coefficient C is 0.5, the reference temperature T0 is 24°C, the reference humidity RH0 is 70%, and the reference wind speed V0 is 2m / s. At this time, the corresponding comfort formula is S=0.6*(|T1-24|)+0.07*(|RH1-70%|)+0.5*(|V1-2|). Through this comfort formula, the embodiment of the present disclosure can reasonably correct the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner, which is conducive to satisfying the comfort of most users.

[0040] Optionally, the preset comfort range is [0, 6.95]. When the human body comfort is within the preset comfort range, the user can get a more obvious sense of comfort, and at this time, there is no need to correct the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner. When the human body comfort exceeds the preset comfort range, it is difficult for the user to get a comfortable feeling, and may even produce a strong sense of discomfort. At this time, it is necessary to automatically correct the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner to create a more comfortable indoor environment, so as to assist the user to quickly enter a better comfort state, thereby improving their actual use experience.

[0041] Optionally, the embodiment of the present disclosure may also introduce a first comfort level and a second comfort level, wherein the first comfort level is within a preset comfort level range and the second comfort level is outside the preset comfort level range. In this way, the first comfort level and the second comfort level may be combined to divide the human body comfort level more finely.

[0042] Preferably, the first comfort level is 4.55, and the second comfort level is 9.00. In this way, when the human body comfort level is 0≤S≤4.55, the user feels very comfortable. When 4.55<S≤6.95, the user feels relatively comfortable. When 6.95<S≤9.00, the user feels relatively uncomfortable. When S>9.00, the user feels extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, the disclosed embodiment can more accurately judge the user's comfort feeling, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of the correction of the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner.

[0043] Optionally, the processor corrects the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner according to the comfort formula, including: the processor determines the first target environmental parameters to be corrected according to the indoor environmental parameters and the corresponding preset environmental parameter ranges; the processor corrects the first target environmental parameters according to the comfort formula. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the degree of association between each indoor environmental parameter and the user's discomfort based on the relationship between the indoor environmental parameters and the corresponding preset environmental parameter ranges. Then the main indoor environmental parameters that cause user discomfort are determined as the first target environmental parameters to be corrected, and the comfort formula is used to reasonably correct the first target environmental parameters so that the corrected first target environmental parameters can be as close to the user's optimal comfort requirements as possible. Thereby, a comfortable indoor environment can be created more accurately, which is conducive to the user quickly entering the optimal comfort state, thereby improving their actual use experience.

[0044] Optionally, the method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: when the human body comfort is within the preset comfort range, the processor maintains the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner. In this way, when the human body comfort is within the preset comfort range, the user can obtain a more obvious comfort feeling, and at this time, there is no need to correct the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner. Instead, the air conditioner is controlled to maintain the current target environmental parameters so that the indoor environment can stabilize the user's optimal comfort state.

[0045] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0046] S201, when the air conditioner runs for a preset time, the processor obtains indoor environmental parameters.

[0047] S202, the processor imports the indoor environment parameters into the comfort formula to calculate the human comfort.

[0048] S203, when the human body comfort level exceeds the preset comfort level range, the processor determines a first target environmental parameter to be corrected according to the indoor environmental parameter and the corresponding preset environmental parameter range.

[0049] S204: The processor corrects the first target environment parameter according to the comfort formula.

[0050] S205: The processor controls the air conditioner to operate according to the corrected target environmental parameters.

[0051] Among them, environmental parameters include temperature, humidity and wind speed.

[0052] According to the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the air conditioner has been running stably for a preset time, the current indoor environmental parameters such as indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and indoor wind speed are collected, and these indoor environmental parameters are introduced into the comfort formula to calculate the human comfort, so as to help measure the actual comfort feeling of the user in the current environmental conditions. When the human comfort exceeds the preset comfort range, it indicates that the user's comfort feeling is still poor after the air conditioner has been running for a period of time, and the target environmental parameters set by the user are not enough to bring a better comfort experience to the user. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can judge the degree of association between each indoor environmental parameter and the user's discomfort according to the relationship between the indoor environmental parameter and the corresponding preset environmental parameter range. Then, the main indoor environmental parameter causing the user's discomfort is determined as the first target environmental parameter to be corrected, and the first target environmental parameter is reasonably corrected using the comfort formula so that the corrected first target environmental parameter can be as close to the user's optimal comfort requirement as possible. Thus, it is possible to create an indoor comfortable environment more accurately, which is conducive to the user quickly entering the optimal comfort state, and thus can improve their actual use experience.

[0053] Optionally, the processor determines the first target environmental parameter to be corrected based on the indoor environmental parameter and the corresponding preset environmental parameter range, including: when the indoor temperature is not within the preset temperature range, the processor determines that the first target environmental parameter to be corrected is the target temperature; or, when the indoor temperature is within the preset temperature range and the indoor humidity is not within the preset humidity range, the processor determines that the first target environmental parameter to be corrected is the target humidity; or, when the indoor temperature is within the preset temperature range and the indoor humidity is within the preset humidity range, the processor determines that the first target environmental parameter to be corrected is the target wind speed.

[0054] In this way, when the indoor temperature is not within the preset temperature range, it indicates that the current indoor temperature is not suitable, and since the temperature has the most significant effect on human comfort, the main source of the user's current discomfort is most likely to be the unreasonable indoor temperature. For this reason, the disclosed embodiment determines the target temperature of the air conditioner as the first target environmental parameter to be corrected, so as to give priority to adjusting the indoor temperature, thereby being able to more effectively improve the user's comfort and enable it to quickly enter the optimal comfort state. When the indoor temperature is within the preset temperature range, it indicates that the current indoor temperature is suitable and does not need to be corrected. Since the effect of humidity on human comfort is the second most significant, the disclosed embodiment further detects whether the current indoor humidity is suitable. When the indoor humidity is not within the preset humidity range, it indicates that the current indoor humidity is not suitable, which is most likely to be the main source of the user's current discomfort. Therefore, the disclosed embodiment determines the target humidity of the air conditioner as the first target environmental parameter to be corrected, so as to adjust the indoor humidity when the indoor temperature is suitable, thereby being able to effectively improve the user's comfort and enable it to quickly enter the optimal comfort state. When the indoor humidity is within the preset humidity range, it indicates that the current indoor temperature and humidity are both relatively suitable, and other factors may cause the user's discomfort. Therefore, the disclosed embodiment determines the target wind speed of the air conditioner as the first target environmental parameter to be corrected, so as to adjust the indoor wind speed when the indoor temperature and humidity are appropriate, which can also effectively improve the user's comfort and enable the user to quickly enter the optimal comfort state. Therefore, the disclosed embodiment can adjust the indoor temperature first, then adjust the indoor humidity, and finally adjust the indoor wind speed, which is conducive to creating a more accurate indoor comfortable environment, so as to assist the user to quickly enter the optimal comfort state, thereby improving their actual use experience.

[0055] Optionally, the preset temperature range can be adjusted according to the current season information. If the current season is summer, the preset temperature range can be set slightly lower to meet the user's cooling comfort needs as much as possible. If the current season is winter, the preset temperature range can be set slightly higher to meet the user's heating comfort needs as much as possible. Preferably, the preset temperature range is [22°C, 26°C]. The preset temperature range can also be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user and adjusted to any other reasonable range.

[0056] Optionally, the preset humidity range can be adjusted according to the current season information. If the current season is summer, the preset humidity range can be set slightly lower to meet the user's comfort needs for dehumidification as much as possible. If the current season is winter, the preset humidity range can be set slightly higher to meet the user's comfort needs for anti-drying as much as possible. Preferably, the preset humidity range is [40%, 60%]. The preset humidity range can also be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user and adjusted to any other reasonable range.

[0057] Optionally, the processor corrects the first target environmental parameters according to a comfort formula, including: the processor obtains a reference comfort level within a preset comfort range; the processor imports the reference comfort level and indoor environmental parameters other than the first target environmental parameters into the comfort formula, and calculates and obtains the corrected first target environmental parameters.

[0058] In this way, the disclosed embodiment can obtain a reference comfort level from a preset comfort level range, and then import the reference comfort level and other indoor environmental parameters other than the first target environmental parameter as known variables into the comfort level formula, so as to obtain the specific value of the first target environmental parameter as an unknown variable, that is, to obtain the corrected first target environmental parameter. With the help of the comfort level formula, the disclosed embodiment can reasonably correct the first target environmental parameter of the air conditioner, which is conducive to more accurately creating an indoor comfortable environment, so as to assist users to quickly enter the optimal comfort state, thereby improving their actual use experience.

[0059] Optionally, the baseline comfort level can be set according to user activity information. If the user is in motion, the disclosed embodiment can set a slightly smaller baseline comfort level to fully guarantee the user's comfort in motion, which is beneficial to improving the user's actual usage experience. If the user is stationary, the disclosed embodiment can set a slightly larger baseline comfort level to shorten the time it takes for the air conditioner to create a comfortable indoor environment, thereby facilitating the user to quickly enter a better comfort state, and also facilitating the energy-saving operation of the air conditioner. Preferably, the baseline comfort level is 4.55, which is the optimal human comfort level corresponding to the user feeling comfortable and the air conditioner saving energy. The baseline comfort level can also be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user, and can also be set to any other reasonable value such as 1 or 6.

[0060] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0061] S301, when the air conditioner runs for a preset time, the processor obtains indoor environmental parameters.

[0062] S302, the processor imports the indoor environment parameters into the comfort formula to calculate the human comfort.

[0063] S303, when the human body comfort level exceeds the preset comfort level range, the processor determines a first target environmental parameter to be corrected according to the indoor environmental parameter and the corresponding preset environmental parameter range.

[0064] S304: The processor corrects the first target environment parameter according to the comfort formula.

[0065] S305: When the corrected first target environmental parameter is not within the corresponding preset environmental parameter range, the processor determines a second target environmental parameter to be corrected.

[0066] S306: The processor adjusts the corrected first target environment parameter and corrects the second target environment parameter according to the comfort formula.

[0067] S307, the processor controls the air conditioner to operate according to the corrected target environmental parameters.

[0068] Among them, environmental parameters include temperature, humidity and wind speed.

[0069] According to the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the air conditioner has been running stably for a preset period of time, the current indoor environmental parameters such as indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and indoor wind speed are collected, and these indoor environmental parameters are introduced into the comfort formula to calculate the human comfort, so as to help measure the actual comfort feeling of the user in the current environmental conditions. When the human comfort exceeds the preset comfort range, it indicates that the user's comfort feeling is still poor after the air conditioner has been running for a period of time, and the target environmental parameters set by the user are not enough to bring a better comfort experience to the user. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can judge the degree of association between each indoor environmental parameter and the user's discomfort according to the relationship between the indoor environmental parameter and the corresponding preset environmental parameter range. Then, the main indoor environmental parameter causing the user's discomfort is determined as the first target environmental parameter to be corrected, and the first target environmental parameter is reasonably corrected using the comfort formula so that the corrected first target environmental parameter can be as close to the user's optimal comfort requirement as possible. In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure also verifies the corrected first target environmental parameter to determine whether the adjustment scheme involved is sufficient to bring a better comfort experience to the user. If the corrected first target environmental parameter is not within the corresponding preset environmental parameter range, it indicates that the first target environmental parameter is not the only source of user discomfort, and it is difficult to make the user enter a better comfortable state by only correcting the first target environmental parameter. To this end, the disclosed embodiment first adjusts the corrected first target environmental parameter to a reasonable range, thereby reducing the adverse effects of the first target environmental parameter on the user's comfort. Then the secondary indoor environmental parameter that causes user discomfort is determined as the second target environmental parameter to be corrected, and the comfort formula is used to reasonably correct the second target environmental parameter so that the corrected second target environmental parameter can be as close to the user's optimal comfort needs as possible. Thereby, a comfortable indoor environment can be created more accurately, which is conducive to the user quickly entering the optimal comfort state, thereby improving their actual use experience.

[0070] Optionally, when the corrected first target environmental parameter is not within the corresponding preset environmental parameter range, the processor determines the second target environmental parameter to be corrected, including: when the corrected target temperature is not within the preset temperature range and the indoor humidity is not within the preset humidity range, the processor determines that the second target environmental parameter to be corrected is the target humidity; or, when the corrected target temperature is not within the preset temperature range and the indoor humidity is within the preset humidity range, the processor determines that the second target environmental parameter to be corrected is the target wind speed; or, when the corrected target humidity is not within the preset humidity range, the processor determines that the second target environmental parameter to be corrected is the target wind speed.

[0071] In this way, when the corrected target temperature is not within the preset temperature range, it indicates that the subsequently adjusted indoor temperature is still not suitable. At this time, the indoor temperature is not the only source of the user's discomfort. It is difficult for the user to enter a better comfortable state by only correcting the target temperature. Since the influence of humidity on human comfort is the second most significant, the embodiment of the present disclosure further detects whether the current indoor humidity is suitable. When the indoor humidity is not within the preset humidity range, it indicates that the current indoor humidity is also not suitable. It is very likely that the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity together constitute the source of the user's current discomfort. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the target humidity of the air conditioner as the second target environmental parameter to be corrected, so as to further adjust the indoor humidity while adjusting the indoor temperature, so as to effectively improve the user's comfort and enable it to quickly enter the best comfortable state. When the indoor humidity is within the preset humidity range, it indicates that the current indoor humidity is relatively suitable, and the indoor humidity is not the source of the user's current discomfort. At this time, other factors may cause the user's discomfort. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the target wind speed of the air conditioner as the second target environmental parameter to be corrected, so as to further adjust the indoor wind speed while adjusting the indoor temperature, which can also effectively improve the user's comfort and enable it to quickly enter the best comfortable state. Similarly, for the case where the first target environmental parameter is the target humidity, when the corrected target humidity is not within the preset humidity range, it indicates that the subsequently adjusted indoor humidity is still inappropriate. At this time, the indoor humidity is not the only source of user discomfort, and there may be other factors involved in causing the user's discomfort. It is difficult for the user to enter a better comfortable state by only correcting the target humidity. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the target wind speed of the air conditioner as the second target environmental parameter to be corrected, so as to further adjust the indoor wind speed while adjusting the indoor temperature, and can also effectively improve the user's comfort and enable the user to quickly enter the optimal comfortable state. As a result, the embodiment of the present disclosure can adjust the indoor temperature first, then adjust the indoor humidity, and finally adjust the indoor wind speed, which is conducive to creating a more accurate indoor comfortable environment, so as to assist the user to quickly enter the optimal comfortable state, thereby improving their actual use experience.

[0072] Optionally, the processor adjusts the corrected first target environment parameter and corrects the second target environment parameter according to the comfort formula, including: the processor adjusts the corrected first target environment parameter to a preset first target environment parameter; the processor obtains a reference comfort within a preset comfort range; the processor imports the reference comfort, the preset first target environment parameter, and indoor environment parameters other than the first target environment parameter and the second target environment parameter into the comfort formula to calculate and obtain the corrected second target environment parameter. The preset first target environment parameter is within the corresponding preset environment parameter range.

[0073] In this way, the disclosed embodiment can first adjust the corrected first target environmental parameter to the preset first target environmental parameter within a reasonable range, thereby reducing the adverse effect of the first target environmental parameter on the user's comfort. Then the disclosed embodiment can obtain a reference comfort from the preset comfort range, and then import the reference comfort, the preset first target environmental parameter, and the indoor environmental parameters other than the first target environmental parameter and the second target environmental parameter as known variables into the comfort formula, so as to obtain the specific value of the second target environmental parameter as an unknown variable, that is, to obtain the corrected second target environmental parameter. Thus, the disclosed embodiment can reasonably adjust the first target environmental parameter of the air conditioner in combination with the corresponding preset environmental parameter range, and can reasonably correct the second target environmental parameter of the air conditioner with the help of the comfort formula, so as to more accurately create an indoor comfortable environment, so as to assist the user to quickly enter the optimal comfort state, thereby improving their actual use experience.

[0074] Optionally, if the first target environmental parameter is a target temperature, the preset target temperature can be adjusted according to the current season information. If the current season is summer, the preset target temperature can be set slightly lower to meet the user's comfort needs for cooling as much as possible. If the current season is winter, the preset target temperature can be set slightly higher to meet the user's comfort needs for heating as much as possible. Preferably, the preset target temperature is 25°C, which is the optimal target temperature corresponding to the user's comfort and the air conditioner's energy saving. The preset target temperature can also be adjusted according to the user's actual needs and adjusted to any other reasonable value.

[0075] Optionally, if the first target environmental parameter is the target humidity, the preset target humidity can be adjusted according to the current season information. If the current season is summer, the preset target humidity can be set slightly lower to meet the user's comfort needs for dehumidification as much as possible. If the current season is winter, the preset target humidity can be set slightly higher to meet the user's comfort needs for anti-drying as much as possible. Preferably, the preset target humidity is 50%, which is the optimal target humidity corresponding to the user's comfort and the air conditioner's energy saving. The preset target humidity can also be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user and adjusted to any other reasonable value.

[0076] Optionally, the method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: when the corrected first target environmental parameter is within the corresponding preset environmental parameter range, the processor maintains the target environmental parameter of the air conditioner. In this way, when the human body comfort is within the preset comfort range after the first target environmental parameter is corrected, the user can obtain a more obvious comfort feeling, and at this time, there is no need to correct the target environmental parameter of the air conditioner. Instead, the air conditioner is controlled to maintain the current target environmental parameter so that the indoor environment can stabilize the user's optimal comfort state.

[0077] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0078] S401, when the air conditioner runs for a preset time, the processor obtains indoor environmental parameters.

[0079] S402, the processor imports the indoor environment parameters into the comfort formula to calculate the human comfort.

[0080] S403, when the human body comfort level exceeds the preset comfort level range, the processor determines a first target environmental parameter to be corrected according to the indoor environmental parameter and the corresponding preset environmental parameter range.

[0081] S404: The processor corrects the first target environment parameter according to the comfort formula.

[0082] S405: When the corrected first target environmental parameter is not within the corresponding preset environmental parameter range, the processor determines a second target environmental parameter to be corrected.

[0083] S406: The processor adjusts the corrected first target environment parameter and corrects the second target environment parameter according to the comfort formula.

[0084] S407: When the corrected second target environmental parameter is not within the corresponding preset environmental parameter range, the processor determines a third target environmental parameter to be corrected.

[0085] S408: The processor adjusts the corrected second target environment parameter and corrects the third target environment parameter according to the comfort formula.

[0086] S409, the processor controls the air conditioner to operate according to the corrected target environmental parameters.

[0087] Among them, environmental parameters include temperature, humidity and wind speed.

[0088] According to the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the air conditioner has been running stably for a preset period of time, the current indoor environmental parameters such as indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and indoor wind speed are collected, and these indoor environmental parameters are introduced into the comfort formula to calculate the human comfort, so as to help measure the actual comfort feeling of the user in the current environmental conditions. When the human comfort exceeds the preset comfort range, it indicates that the user's comfort feeling is still poor after the air conditioner has been running for a period of time, and the target environmental parameters set by the user are not enough to bring a better comfort experience to the user. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can judge the degree of association between each indoor environmental parameter and the user's discomfort according to the relationship between the indoor environmental parameter and the corresponding preset environmental parameter range. Then, the main indoor environmental parameter causing the user's discomfort is determined as the first target environmental parameter to be corrected, and the first target environmental parameter is reasonably corrected using the comfort formula so that the corrected first target environmental parameter can be as close to the user's optimal comfort requirement as possible. In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure also verifies the corrected first target environmental parameter to determine whether the adjustment scheme involved is sufficient to bring a better comfort experience to the user. If the corrected first target environment parameter is not within the corresponding preset environment parameter range, it indicates that the first target environment parameter is not the only source of user discomfort, and it is difficult to make the user enter a better comfortable state by only correcting the first target environment parameter. To this end, the embodiment of the present disclosure first adjusts the corrected first target environment parameter to a reasonable range, so as to reduce the adverse effect of the first target environment parameter on the user's comfort. Then the secondary indoor environment parameter that causes user discomfort is determined as the second target environment parameter to be corrected, and the comfort formula is used to reasonably correct the second target environment parameter so that the corrected second target environment parameter can be as close to the user's optimal comfort requirement as possible. Similarly, the embodiment of the present disclosure can also test the corrected second target environment parameter to determine whether the adjustment scheme involved is sufficient to bring a better comfort experience to the user. If the corrected second target environment parameter is not within the corresponding preset environment parameter range, it indicates that the source of user discomfort is not limited to the first target environment parameter and the second target environment parameter, and it is still difficult to ensure that the user can quickly enter a better comfortable state by only correcting the first target environment parameter and the second target environment parameter. To this end, the disclosed embodiment adjusts the corrected second target environment parameter to a reasonable range, thereby further reducing the adverse effect of the second target environment parameter on the user's comfort. Finally, the other indoor environment parameters are determined as the third target environment parameters to be corrected, and the third target environment parameters are reasonably corrected using the comfort formula, so that the corrected third target environment parameters can be as close to the user's optimal comfort requirements as possible. This can more accurately create an indoor comfortable environment, which is conducive to the user quickly entering the optimal comfort state, thereby improving their actual use experience.

[0089] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first target environmental parameter is the target temperature, the second target environmental parameter is the target humidity, and the third target environmental parameter is the target wind speed. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can adjust the indoor temperature first, then adjust the indoor humidity, and finally adjust the indoor wind speed, which is conducive to more accurately creating a comfortable indoor environment, so as to assist users to quickly enter the optimal comfort state, thereby improving their actual use experience.

[0090] Optionally, when the corrected second target environmental parameter is not within the corresponding preset environmental parameter range, the processor determines the third target environmental parameter to be corrected, including: when the corrected target humidity is not within the preset humidity range, the processor determines that the third target environmental parameter to be corrected is the target wind speed.

[0091] In this way, when the corrected target humidity is not within the preset humidity range, it indicates that the subsequently adjusted indoor humidity is still inappropriate. At this time, the indoor temperature and indoor humidity are not the only two sources of user discomfort. It is very likely that other factors are involved in causing the user's discomfort. Only correcting the target temperature and target humidity is difficult to ensure that the user can quickly enter a better comfortable state. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the target wind speed of the air conditioner as the third target environmental parameter to be corrected, so as to further adjust the indoor wind speed while adjusting the indoor temperature and indoor humidity, which can also effectively improve the user's comfort and enable the user to quickly enter the best comfortable state. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can adjust the indoor temperature first, then adjust the indoor humidity, and finally adjust the indoor wind speed, which is conducive to creating a more accurate indoor comfortable environment, so as to assist the user to quickly enter the best comfortable state, thereby improving their actual use experience.

[0092] Optionally, the processor adjusts the corrected second target environment parameter and corrects the third target environment parameter according to the comfort formula, including: the processor adjusts the corrected second target environment parameter to a preset second target environment parameter; the processor obtains a reference comfort level within a preset comfort level range; the processor imports the reference comfort level, the preset first target environment parameter, and the preset second target environment parameter into the comfort level formula to calculate and obtain the corrected third target environment parameter. The preset second target environment parameter is within the corresponding preset environment parameter range.

[0093] In this way, after the first target environmental parameter is reasonably adjusted, the embodiment of the present disclosure can first adjust the revised second target environmental parameter to the preset second target environmental parameter within a reasonable range, thereby reducing the adverse effect of the second target environmental parameter on the user's comfort. Then the embodiment of the present disclosure can obtain a reference comfort from the preset comfort range, and then import the reference comfort, the preset first target environmental parameter, and the preset second target environmental parameter as known variables into the comfort formula, so as to obtain the specific value of the third target environmental parameter as an unknown variable, that is, to obtain the revised third target environmental parameter. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can reasonably adjust the first target environmental parameter and the second target environmental parameter of the air conditioner in combination with the corresponding preset environmental parameter range, and can reasonably correct the third target environmental parameter of the air conditioner with the help of the comfort formula, so as to more accurately create an indoor comfortable environment, so as to assist the user to quickly enter the optimal comfort state, thereby improving their actual use experience.

[0094] Optionally, the method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: when the corrected second target environmental parameter is within the corresponding preset environmental parameter range, the processor maintains the target environmental parameter of the air conditioner. In this way, when the human body comfort is within the preset comfort range after the second target environmental parameter is corrected, the user can obtain a more obvious comfort feeling, and at this time, there is no need to correct the target environmental parameter of the air conditioner. Instead, the air conditioner is controlled to maintain the current target environmental parameter so that the indoor environment can stabilize the user's optimal comfort state.
