[0002] At present, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners have become an important household appliance in daily life. In daily use, the air conditioner is usually adjusted according to the target temperature, target humidity, target wind speed and other parameters set manually by the user to meet the user's autonomous needs.

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

[0004] The user's comfort feeling is the result of the coupling of multiple environmental parameters. When the indoor temperature changes, the target humidity corresponding to the user's comfort feeling will also change. However, the user is difficult to grasp the correlation between human comfort and different environmental parameters, and the target temperature, target humidity, target wind speed and other parameters set by the user may not necessarily bring better comfort experience to himself. The user often needs to make more attempts and frequently adjust the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner to find suitable parameters that meet his comfort feeling. Therefore, the user is difficult to quickly enter a better comfort state, and the actual use experience is poor.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above BACKGROUND section is only used to strengthen the understanding of the background of the present application, and therefore can include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art. SUMMARY

[0006] To provide a simple overview of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments the following is a brief summary. The summary is not an extensive overview of all of the embodiments discussed in the present application. It is not intended to identify key / critical elements of the embodiments or to delineate the scope of the embodiments, but to present some aspects of the embodiments in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description of the embodiments presented later.

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

[0008] In some embodiments, the method comprises: obtaining an indoor environmental parameter when the air conditioner runs for a preset duration; introducing the indoor environmental parameter into a comfort degree formula to calculate a human comfort degree; correcting a target environmental parameter of the air conditioner according to the comfort degree formula when the human comfort degree exceeds a preset comfort degree range; controlling the air conditioner to run according to the corrected target environmental parameter; wherein the environmental parameter comprises temperature, humidity and wind speed.

[0013] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the air conditioner is stably operated for a preset time length, the current indoor environment parameters such as indoor temperature, indoor humidity and indoor wind speed are collected, and these indoor environment parameters are introduced into the comfort degree formula to calculate the human comfort degree, so as to help measure the actual comfort feeling of the user in the current environment working condition. When the human comfort degree exceeds the preset comfort degree range, it indicates that the user's comfort feeling is still poor after the air conditioner is continuously operated for a period of time, and the target environment parameter set by the user is insufficient to bring better comfort experience.

[0028] At present, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners have become an important household appliance indispensable in daily life. In daily use, the air conditioner is usually adjusted according to the target temperature, target humidity, target wind speed and other parameters set manually by the user to meet the user's autonomous demand.

[0029] But the user's comfort feeling is the result of the coupling of multiple environmental parameters, when the indoor temperature changes, the target humidity corresponding to the user's comfort feeling will also change. The user is difficult to grasp the correlation between human comfort and different environmental parameters, the target temperature, target humidity, target wind speed and other parameters set by the user may not bring better comfort experience to himself. The user often needs to make more attempts, by frequently adjusting the target environmental parameters of the air conditioner, to find the appropriate parameters that meet his own comfort feeling. Therefore, the user is difficult to quickly obtain better comfort feeling, and the actual use experience is poor.

[0030] In combination Figure 1 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

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

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

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

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

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

[0036] The method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is used to collect the indoor temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed and other current indoor environmental parameters after the air conditioner runs stably for a preset time length, and import these indoor environmental parameters 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 condition. When the human comfort exceeds the preset comfort range, it indicates that the user's comfort feeling is still poor after the air conditioner runs for a period of time, and the target environmental parameters set by the user are insufficient to bring 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 an indoor comfortable environment, which is beneficial to the user to quickly enter the best comfort state, and further improves the actual use experience.

[0037] Optionally, the preset time length is in a range of [1 min, 60 min]. When the air conditioner runs for the preset time length, it indicates that the air conditioner runs stably, and at this time, the indoor environment parameter approaches the target environment parameter set by the user, and the autonomous demand of the user can be met. Preferably, the preset time length is 30 min. The preset time length can also be adjusted in combination with the running condition of the air conditioner, and can also be set to 10 min or 20 min or other arbitrary reasonable values.

[0038] Optionally, the comfort formula is S=A*(|T1-T0|)+B*(|RH1-RH0|)+C*(|V1-V0|). Wherein, S is the human comfort, T1 is the indoor temperature, T0 is the reference temperature, RH1 is the indoor humidity, RH0 is the reference humidity, V1 is the indoor wind speed, V0 is the reference wind speed, A is the temperature coefficient, B is the humidity coefficient, and C is the wind speed coefficient. In this way, considering the difference in the effect of different environment parameters on human comfort, the present embodiment can set respective corresponding weight coefficients, i.e., the temperature coefficient A, the humidity coefficient B, and the wind speed coefficient C. At the same time, by setting appropriate reference temperature T0, reference humidity RH0, and reference wind speed V0, the present embodiment can construct appropriate standards of indoor comfortable environment, and judge the user's comfort feeling under the current environment condition by detecting the difference between the current environment parameter and these reference environment parameters. Thus, a proper comfort formula can be established, which is conducive to accurately calculating the 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℃, the reference humidity RH0 is 70%, and the reference wind speed V0 is 2 m / s. At this time, the corresponding comfort formula is S=0.6*(|T1-24|)+0.07*(|RH1-70%|)+0.5*(|V1-2|). Through the comfort formula, the present embodiment can reasonably correct the target environment parameter of the air conditioner, which is conducive to meeting the comfort feeling of most users.

[0040] Optionally, the preset comfort range is [0, 6.95]. When the human comfort is within the preset comfort range, the user can obtain obvious comfort feeling, and at this time, the target environment parameter of the air conditioner does not need to be corrected. When the human comfort exceeds the preset comfort range, the user is difficult to obtain comfort feeling, and even may have strong discomfort feeling, and at this time, the target environment parameter of the air conditioner needs to be automatically corrected to create a more comfortable indoor environment, so as to assist the user to quickly enter a better comfortable state, and thus improve the actual use experience.

[0041] Optionally, the embodiments of the present disclosure can further introduce a first comfort degree and a second comfort degree, the first comfort degree being within a preset comfort degree range, and the second comfort degree being outside the preset comfort degree range. In this way, the human body comfort degree can be more finely divided in combination with the first comfort degree and the second comfort degree.

[0042] Preferably, the first comfort degree is 4.55, and the second comfort degree is 9.00. In this way, when the human body comfort degree 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. Thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure can more accurately judge the comfort feeling of the user, and help to improve the accuracy of the correction of the target environment parameters of the air conditioner.

[0043] Optionally, the processor corrects the target environment parameters of the air conditioner according to the comfort degree formula, including: the processor determines a first target environment parameter to be corrected according to the indoor environment parameters and the corresponding preset environment parameter range; and the processor corrects the first target environment parameter according to the comfort degree formula. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can determine the correlation degree of each indoor environment parameter and the user's discomfort according to the relationship between the indoor environment parameters and the corresponding preset environment parameter range. Then, the main indoor environment parameter causing the user's discomfort is determined as the first target environment parameter to be corrected, and the comfort degree formula is used to reasonably correct the first target environment parameter, so that the corrected first target environment parameter can be as close as possible to the best comfort demand of the user. Thus, the indoor comfortable environment can be more accurately created, which is beneficial to the user to quickly enter the best comfortable state, and thus the actual use experience can be improved.

[0044] Optionally, the method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: in the case that the human body comfort degree is within the preset comfort degree range, the processor keeps the target environment parameters of the air conditioner. In this way, when the human body comfort degree is within the preset comfort degree range, the user can obtain a more obvious comfort feeling, and at this time, the target environment parameters of the air conditioner do not need to be corrected. Instead, the air conditioner keeps the current target environment parameters, so that the indoor environment can stabilize the better comfortable state of the user.

[0045] In combination with Figure 2 the embodiments of the present disclosure provide another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0046] S201, in the case that the air conditioner runs for a preset time length, the processor acquires indoor environment parameters.

[0047] S202, the processor imports the indoor environment parameters into a comfort degree formula to calculate and obtain a human body comfort degree.

[0048] S203, in a case where the human comfort degree exceeds the preset comfort degree range, the processor determines a first target environment parameter to be corrected according to the indoor environment parameter and the corresponding preset environment parameter range.

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

[0050] S205, the processor controls the air conditioner to operate according to the corrected target environment parameter.

[0051] The environment parameter includes temperature, humidity and wind speed.

[0052] The method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted, after the air conditioner is stably operated for a preset time length, the indoor current environment parameters such as indoor temperature, indoor humidity and indoor wind speed are collected, and these indoor environment parameters are introduced into the comfort degree formula to calculate and obtain the human comfort degree, thereby helping to measure the actual comfort feeling of the user in the current environment working condition. When the human comfort degree exceeds the preset comfort degree range, it indicates that the user's comfort feeling is still poor after the air conditioner is continuously operated for a time length, and the target environment parameter set by the user is insufficient to bring better comfort experience. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the correlation degree of each indoor environment parameter and the user's discomfort according to the relationship between the indoor environment parameter and the corresponding preset environment parameter range. Then, the main indoor environment parameter causing the user's discomfort is determined as the first target environment parameter to be corrected, and the comfort degree formula is used to reasonably correct the first target environment parameter, so that the corrected first target environment parameter can be as close as possible to the best comfort demand of the user. Therefore, the indoor comfortable environment can be more accurately created, which is beneficial to the user to quickly enter the best comfort state, and thus the actual use experience can be improved.

[0053] Optionally, the processor determines the first target environment parameter to be corrected according to the indoor environment parameter and the corresponding preset environment parameter range, including: in a case where the indoor temperature is not located in the preset temperature range, the processor determines the first target environment parameter to be corrected as the target temperature; or in a case where the indoor temperature is located in the preset temperature range and the indoor humidity is not located in the preset humidity range, the processor determines the first target environment parameter to be corrected as the target humidity; or in a case where the indoor temperature is located in the preset temperature range and the indoor humidity is located in the preset humidity range, the processor determines the first target environment parameter to be corrected as the target wind speed.

[0054] In this way, when the indoor temperature is not in the preset temperature range, it indicates that the current indoor temperature is not suitable, and since the temperature has the most significant impact on human comfort, the main source of the current discomfort of the user is most likely to be the unreasonable indoor temperature. Therefore, the target temperature of the air conditioner is determined as the first target environmental parameter to be corrected in the embodiment of the present disclosure, so as to preferentially adjust the indoor temperature, thereby more effectively improving the comfort of the user and enabling the user to quickly enter the optimal comfort state. When the indoor temperature is in the preset temperature range, it indicates that the current indoor temperature is suitable and does not need to be corrected. Since the humidity has the second most significant impact on human comfort, the embodiment of the present disclosure further detects whether the current indoor humidity is suitable. When the indoor humidity is not in 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 current discomfort of the user. Therefore, the target humidity of the air conditioner is determined as the first target environmental parameter to be corrected, so as to adjust the indoor humidity in the case where the indoor temperature is suitable, thereby effectively improving the comfort of the user and enabling the user to quickly enter the optimal comfort state. When the indoor humidity is in the preset humidity range, it indicates that the current indoor temperature and humidity are both suitable, and at this time, other factors may cause the discomfort of the user. Therefore, the target wind speed of the air conditioner is determined as the first target environmental parameter to be corrected, so as to adjust the indoor wind speed in the case where the indoor temperature and humidity are suitable, which can also effectively improve the comfort of the user and enable the user to quickly enter the optimal comfort state. Thus, the embodiment of the present disclosure can preferentially adjust the indoor temperature, secondarily adjust the indoor humidity, and finally adjust the indoor wind speed, which is conducive to more accurately creating a comfortable indoor environment to assist the user to quickly enter the optimal comfort state, thereby improving the 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 to be slightly lower to as far as possible meet the comfort demand of the user for cooling. If the current season is winter, the preset temperature range can be set to be slightly higher to as far as possible meet the comfort demand of the user for heating. Preferably, the preset temperature range is [22℃, 26℃]. The preset temperature range can also be adjusted according to the actual demand of the user, and adjusted to other arbitrary reasonable ranges.

[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 to be slightly lower to as far as possible meet the comfort demand of the user for dehumidification. If the current season is winter, the preset humidity range can be set to be slightly higher to as far as possible meet the comfort demand of the user for dry prevention. Preferably, the preset humidity range is [40%, 60%]. The preset humidity range can also be adjusted according to the actual demand of the user, and adjusted to other arbitrary reasonable ranges.

[0057] Optionally, the processor corrects the first target environment parameter according to the comfort formula, including: the processor acquires a reference comfort degree in the preset comfort degree range; and the processor introduces the reference comfort degree and the indoor environment parameter outside the first target environment parameter into the comfort formula to obtain the corrected first target environment parameter.

[0058] In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can acquire a reference comfort degree from the preset comfort degree range, and then introduce the reference comfort degree and other indoor environment parameters outside the first target environment parameter as known variables into the comfort formula, so as to obtain the specific value of the first target environment parameter as an unknown variable, that is, to obtain the corrected first target environment parameter. With the help of the comfort formula, the embodiment of the present disclosure can reasonably correct the first target environment parameter of the air conditioner, which is conducive to more accurately creating an indoor comfortable environment to assist the user to quickly enter an optimal comfortable state, and thus to improve the actual use experience.

[0059] Optionally, the reference comfort degree can be set according to the user activity information. If the user is in a motion state, the embodiment of the present disclosure can set a slightly smaller reference comfort degree to sufficiently guarantee the comfort feeling of the user in the motion state, which is conducive to improving the actual use experience of the user. If the user is in a stationary state, the embodiment of the present disclosure can set a slightly larger reference comfort degree to shorten the time length of creating an indoor comfortable environment by the air conditioner, which is conducive to the user quickly entering a better comfortable state, and also conducive to the energy-saving operation of the air conditioner. Preferably, the reference comfort degree is 4.55, which is the most suitable human comfort degree corresponding to the user's feeling of comfort and energy saving of the air conditioner. The reference comfort degree can also be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user, and can also be set to 1 or 6 or other arbitrary reasonable values.

[0060] In combination with Figure 3 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0061] S301, in the case that the air conditioner runs for a preset time length, the processor acquires an indoor environment parameter.

[0062] S302, the processor introduces the indoor environment parameter into a comfort formula to obtain a human comfort degree.

[0063] S303, in the case that the human comfort degree exceeds a preset comfort degree range, the processor determines a first target environment parameter to be corrected according to the indoor environment parameter and a corresponding preset environment parameter range.

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

[0065] S305, in a case where the corrected first target environment parameter is not located in the corresponding preset environment parameter range, the processor determines a second target environment 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 environment parameter.

[0068] The environment parameter includes temperature, humidity, and wind speed.

[0069] The method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted, after the air conditioner is stably operated for a preset time length, the indoor current environment parameters such as indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and indoor wind speed are collected, and these indoor environment parameters are introduced into the comfort formula to calculate and obtain the human comfort, thereby helping to measure the actual comfort feeling of the user in the current environment working condition. When the human comfort exceeds the preset comfort range, it indicates that the user's comfort feeling is still poor after the air conditioner is continuously operated for a period of time, and the target environment parameter set by the user is insufficient to bring better comfort experience. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the correlation degree of each indoor environment parameter and the user's discomfort according to the relationship between the indoor environment parameter and the corresponding preset environment parameter range. Then, the main indoor environment parameter causing the user's discomfort is determined as the first target environment parameter to be corrected, and the comfort formula is used to reasonably correct the first target environment parameter, so that the corrected first target environment parameter can be as close as possible to the best comfort demand of the user. In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure also verifies the corrected first target environment parameter, and judges whether the adjustment scheme involved in the corrected first target environment parameter is sufficient to bring better comfort experience to the user. If the corrected first target environment parameter is not located in the corresponding preset environment parameter range, it indicates that the first target environment parameter is not the only source causing the user's discomfort, and it is difficult to make the user enter a better comfort state only by correcting the first target environment parameter. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure adjusts the corrected first target environment parameter to a reasonable range, thereby reducing the adverse effect of the first target environment parameter on the user's comfort feeling. Then, the secondary indoor environment parameter causing the user's 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 as possible to the best comfort demand of the user. Therefore, the indoor comfortable environment can be more accurately created, which is beneficial for the user to quickly enter the best comfort state, and thereby the actual use experience can be improved.

[0070] Optionally, in a case where the corrected first target environment parameter is not located in the corresponding preset environment parameter range, the processor determines a second target environment parameter to be corrected, comprising: in a case where the corrected target temperature is not located in the preset temperature range and the indoor humidity is not located in the preset humidity range, the processor determines the second target environment parameter to be corrected as the target humidity; or in a case where the corrected target temperature is not located in the preset temperature range and the indoor humidity is located in the preset humidity range, the processor determines the second target environment parameter to be corrected as the target wind speed; or in a case where the corrected target humidity is not located in the preset humidity range, the processor determines the second target environment parameter to be corrected as the target wind speed.

[0071] In this way, when the corrected target temperature is not located in the preset temperature range, it indicates that the subsequent adjusted indoor temperature is still not suitable, at this time, the indoor temperature is not the only source causing the user to feel uncomfortable, and it is difficult to make the user enter a better comfortable state by only correcting the target temperature. Since the influence of humidity on human comfort is less significant, the current indoor humidity is further detected by the embodiment of the present disclosure. When the indoor humidity is not located in the preset humidity range, it indicates that the current indoor humidity is also not suitable, and it is very likely that the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity jointly constitute the source of the user's current discomfort at this time. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the target humidity of the air conditioner as the second target environment parameter to be corrected, so as to further adjust the indoor humidity while adjusting the indoor temperature, thereby effectively improving the user's comfort feeling and enabling the user to quickly enter the best comfortable state. When the indoor humidity is located in the preset humidity range, it indicates that the current indoor humidity is relatively suitable, and the indoor humidity is not the source causing the user to feel uncomfortable at this time, and it is possible that other factors cause the user to feel uncomfortable. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the target wind speed of the air conditioner as the second target environment 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 feeling and enable the user to quickly enter the best comfortable state. Similarly, for the case where the first target environment parameter is the target humidity, when the corrected target humidity is not located in the preset humidity range, it indicates that the subsequent adjusted indoor humidity is still not suitable, at this time, the indoor humidity is not the only source causing the user to feel uncomfortable, and it is possible that other factors cause the user to feel uncomfortable, and it is difficult to make the user 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 environment 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 feeling and enable the user to quickly enter the best comfortable state. Thus, the embodiment of the present disclosure can preferentially adjust the indoor temperature, secondarily adjust the indoor humidity, and finally adjust the indoor wind speed, which is conducive to more accurately creating an indoor comfortable environment to assist the user to quickly enter the best comfortable state, thereby improving the 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 acquires a reference comfort degree in a preset comfort degree range; the processor introduces the reference comfort degree, the preset first target environment parameter, and an indoor environment parameter other than the first target environment parameter and the second target environment parameter into the comfort formula to obtain the corrected second target environment parameter. The preset first target environment parameter is located in a corresponding preset environment parameter range.

[0073] In this way, the disclosed embodiments can first adjust the corrected first target environment parameter to a preset first target environment parameter in a reasonable range, so as to reduce the adverse effect of the first target environment parameter on the user's comfort feeling. Then the disclosed embodiments can acquire a reference comfort degree from the preset comfort degree range, and introduce the reference comfort degree, the preset first target environment parameter, and an indoor environment parameter other than the first target environment parameter and the second target environment parameter into the comfort formula as known variables, so as to obtain the specific value of the second target environment parameter as an unknown variable, i.e. the corrected second target environment parameter. Thus, the disclosed embodiments can reasonably adjust the first target environment parameter of the air conditioner in combination with the corresponding preset environment parameter range, and can reasonably correct the second target environment parameter of the air conditioner by means of the comfort formula, so as to help create a more accurate indoor comfortable environment, to assist the user to quickly enter the best comfortable state, and to improve the actual use experience.

[0074] Optionally, if the first target environment parameter is a target temperature, the preset target temperature can be adjusted according to current season information. If the current season is summer, the preset target temperature can be set slightly lower to meet the user's comfort demand 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 demand for heating as much as possible. Preferably, the preset target temperature is 25℃, which is the most suitable target temperature corresponding to the user's feeling of comfort and energy saving of the air conditioner. The preset target temperature can also be adjusted according to the actual demand of the user, to be any other reasonable value.

[0075] Optionally, if the first target environment parameter is a target humidity, the preset target humidity can be adjusted according to current season information. If the current season is summer, the preset target humidity can be set slightly lower to meet the user's comfort demand 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 demand for preventing dryness as much as possible. Preferably, the preset target humidity is 50%, which is the most suitable target humidity corresponding to the user's feeling of comfort and energy saving of the air conditioner. The preset target humidity can also be adjusted according to the actual demand of the user to any other reasonable value.

[0076] Optionally, the method for controlling the air conditioner further comprises: in the case that the first target environment parameter after the correction is located in the corresponding preset environment parameter range, the processor keeps the target environment parameter of the air conditioner. In this way, when the human comfort degree is located in the preset comfort degree range after the first target environment parameter is corrected, the user can obtain a more obvious comfort feeling, and at this time, the target environment parameter of the air conditioner does not need to be corrected. Instead, the air conditioner is controlled to keep the current target environment parameter, so that the indoor environment can stabilize the user's better comfort state.

[0077] In combination with Figure 4 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, which comprises:

[0078] S401, in the case that the air conditioner runs for a preset time length, the processor acquires an indoor environment parameter.

[0079] S402, the processor imports the indoor environment parameter into a comfort degree formula to obtain a human comfort degree.

[0080] S403, in the case that the human comfort degree exceeds a preset comfort degree range, the processor determines a first target environment parameter to be corrected according to the indoor environment parameter and a corresponding preset environment parameter range.

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

[0082] S405, in the case that the first target environment parameter after the correction is not located in the corresponding preset environment parameter range, the processor determines a second target environment parameter to be corrected.

[0083] S406, the processor adjusts the first target environment parameter after the correction and corrects the second target environment parameter according to the comfort degree formula.

[0084] S407, in the case that the second target environment parameter after the correction is not located in the corresponding preset environment parameter range, the processor determines a third target environment 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 environment parameter.

[0087] The environment parameter includes temperature, humidity and wind speed.

[0088] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can help measure the actual comfort feeling of a user in the current environment condition after collecting the current indoor environment parameters such as indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and indoor wind speed and importing these indoor environment parameters into a comfort formula to calculate the human comfort degree. When the human comfort degree exceeds the preset comfort degree 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 environment parameters set by the user are insufficient to bring better comfort experience. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the correlation degree of each indoor environment parameter and the user's discomfort according to the relationship between the indoor environment parameters and the corresponding preset environment parameter range. Then, the main indoor environment parameter causing the user's discomfort is determined as the first target environment parameter to be corrected, and the comfort formula is used to reasonably correct the first target environment parameter, so that the corrected first target environment parameter can be as close as possible to the best comfort demand of the user. In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure also tests the corrected first target environment parameter to determine whether the adjustment scheme involved can bring better comfort experience to the user. If the corrected first target environment parameter is not located in the corresponding preset environment parameter range, it indicates that the first target environment parameter is not the only source causing the user's discomfort, and it is difficult to make the user enter a better comfort state by only correcting the first target environment parameter. Therefore, 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 feeling. Then, the secondary indoor environment parameter causing the user's 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 as possible to the best comfort demand of the user. Similarly, the embodiment of the present disclosure can also test the corrected second target environment parameter to determine whether the adjustment scheme involved can bring better comfort experience to the user. If the corrected second target environment parameter is not located in the corresponding preset environment parameter range, it indicates that the source causing the user's 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 comfort state by only correcting the first target environment parameter and the second target environment parameter. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure further adjusts the corrected second target environment parameter to a reasonable range, so as to further reduce the adverse effect of the second target environment parameter on the user's comfort feeling. Finally, the other indoor environment parameters are determined as the third target environment parameter to be corrected, and the comfort formula is used to reasonably correct the third target environment parameter, so that the corrected third target environment parameter can be as close as possible to the best comfort demand of the user. Therefore, the indoor comfort environment can be more accurately created, which is conducive to the user to quickly enter the best comfort state, and thus the actual use experience of the user can be improved.

[0089] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first target environment parameter is a target temperature, the second target environment parameter is a target humidity, and the third target environment parameter is a target wind speed. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can preferentially adjust the indoor temperature, secondarily adjust the indoor humidity, and finally adjust the indoor wind speed, which is conducive to more accurately creating an indoor comfortable environment to assist the user to quickly enter an optimal comfortable state, thereby improving the actual use experience.

[0090] Optionally, in the case that the corrected second target environment parameter is not located in the corresponding preset environment parameter range, the processor determines a third target environment parameter to be corrected, including: in the case that the corrected target humidity is not located in the preset humidity range, the processor determines the third target environment parameter to be corrected as the target wind speed.

[0091] In this way, when the corrected target humidity is not located in the preset humidity range, it indicates that the subsequent adjusted indoor humidity is still not suitable, at this time, the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are not the only two sources that cause the user to feel uncomfortable, and other factors are extremely likely to cause the user to feel uncomfortable. It is difficult to ensure that the user can quickly enter a better comfortable state by only correcting the target temperature and the target humidity. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure determine the target wind speed of the air conditioner as the third target environment parameter to be corrected, so as to further adjust the indoor wind speed while adjusting the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity, which can effectively improve the user's comfortable feeling and enable the user to quickly enter an optimal comfortable state. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can preferentially adjust the indoor temperature, secondarily adjust the indoor humidity, and finally adjust the indoor wind speed, which is conducive to more accurately creating an indoor comfortable environment to assist the user to quickly enter an optimal comfortable state, thereby improving the 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 degree formula, including: the processor adjusts the corrected second target environment parameter to a preset second target environment parameter; the processor obtains a reference comfort degree in a preset comfort degree range; the processor inputs the reference comfort degree, the preset first target environment parameter, and the preset second target environment parameter into the comfort degree formula to obtain the corrected third target environment parameter. The preset second target environment parameter is located in the corresponding preset environment parameter range.

[0093] Thus, after the first target environment parameter is reasonably adjusted, the second target environment parameter is adjusted to the preset second target environment parameter in the reasonable range, so as to reduce the adverse effect of the second target environment parameter on the user's comfort feeling. Then, the reference comfort degree is obtained from the preset comfort degree range, and the reference comfort degree, the preset first target environment parameter and the preset second target environment parameter are introduced into the comfort degree formula as known variables, so that the specific value of the third target environment parameter as an unknown variable is obtained, that is, the corrected third target environment parameter is obtained. Therefore, the first target environment parameter and the second target environment parameter of the air conditioner can be reasonably adjusted in combination with the corresponding preset environment parameter range, and the third target environment parameter of the air conditioner can be reasonably corrected by means of the comfort degree formula, so as to more accurately create an indoor comfortable environment, so as to help the user quickly enter the best comfortable state, and thus the actual use experience can be improved.

[0094] Optionally, the method for controlling the air conditioner further comprises: when the corrected second target environment parameter is in the corresponding preset environment parameter range, the processor keeps the target environment parameter of the air conditioner. In this way, when the human comfort degree is in the preset comfort degree range after the second target environment parameter is corrected, the user can obtain more obvious comfort feeling, and at this time, the target environment parameter of the air conditioner does not need to be corrected. Instead, the air conditioner keeps the current target environment parameter, so that the indoor environment can stabilize the user's better comfortable state.
