[0049] It should be understood that the terms used in the present specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0050] The terms “include” and “comprising” indicate the presence of described features, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0051] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is one of the flow charts of the air conditioning control method based on a swimming pool provided by the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the swimming pool-based air conditioning control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes: step 101, when it is determined by the first sensing module that there is at least one human individual in the swimming pool area, the current swimming pool water temperature is collected by the second sensing module.

[0052] The first sensing module is a radar sensing module installed on the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and the second sensing module is a temperature sensing module installed below the water level of the swimming pool.

[0053] It should be noted that the execution subject of the swimming pool-based air-conditioning control method is a swimming pool-based air-conditioning control device, which can be arranged in an air conditioner.

[0054] The application scenario of the swimming pool-based air conditioning control method of an embodiment of the present invention is that the air conditioner transmits high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant to the swimming pool heat storage device to adjust the swimming pool water temperature. Once the presence of a human body is sensed by the first sensing module on the indoor unit, the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner is activated. At the same time, the second sensing module in the swimming pool is used to collect the swimming pool water temperature in real time to adjust the operating power of the air conditioner and the water pump to match the real-time water temperature.

[0055] The first sensing module is a radar sensing module, which is used to detect objects and human bodies by using the reflection principle of electromagnetic waves. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the type and quantity of radar sensing devices in the radar sensing module.

[0056] Exemplarily, the radar sensor module may include a laser radar, an infrared sensor, etc.

[0057] Optionally, since the horizontal detection range of the millimeter-wave radar can reach ±75°, the vertical detection range can reach ±40°, the maximum detection distance can reach 8 meters, the distance output accuracy can reach 0.1 meters, the angle output accuracy can reach 1°, and it does not involve privacy issues, is not affected by light, and its response speed is also faster.

[0058] Therefore, the swimming pool-based air conditioning control device collects the contour information and / or vital signs of human individuals above the water surface in the corresponding swimming pool area in real time according to the millimeter-wave radar to sense whether there are human individuals in the swimming pool.

[0059] Exemplarily, the radar module may include multiple sensor elements such as millimeter wave radar, lidar, infrared sensor, etc. The swimming pool-based air-conditioning control device integrates the human individual contour information and / or human individual vital signs information collected by each sensor element to fully sense whether there are human individuals in the swimming pool.

[0060] The second sensing module is a temperature sensing module disposed below the water level in the swimming pool, and is used to convert the swimming pool water temperature into an electrical signal by utilizing the law that various physical properties of a substance change with temperature. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the type and quantity of the temperature sensing devices in the temperature sensing module.

[0061] For example, the temperature sensing module may include a thermocouple sensor, a thermistor sensor, a platinum resistance sensor, an integrated temperature sensor, etc. The temperature value collected by the swimming pool water body is de-noised through one or more sensors.

[0062] It should be noted that before step 101, since the swimming pool carries a large amount of water and the air humidity is relatively high, the application requirement is usually dehumidification, and it is necessary to send an activation command to the air conditioner through the transmission medium to activate the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner in the space where the swimming pool is located.

[0063] Optionally, the user can transmit an activation instruction through the control device by wireless communication between the control device and the air conditioner, so that the entire air conditioner initializes the dehumidification mode and starts the radar module set on the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0064] Optionally, the user may issue an activation command through voice interaction. The air conditioner receives the activation command, performs voice recognition, and then starts the air conditioner indoor unit and the radar module set therein after initialization.

[0065] Specifically, in step 101, the swimming pool-based air-conditioning control device receives an activation command sent by the user through a transmission medium, first puts the air-conditioning indoor unit into a standby state, and then uses a first sensing module provided on the air-conditioning indoor unit to calculate and analyze the electromagnetic waves reflected by the human body in the target indoor space, and uses the current positions of all human individuals analyzed to characterize whether there are human individuals on the water surface of the swimming pool.

[0066] If it is determined that there is at least one human individual on the surface of the pool water, which means that the human individual is currently in the swimming pool, then it is determined that the intention is to adjust the indoor temperature and humidity by activating the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner, but it is also necessary to collect the current swimming pool water temperature through the second sensing module to make further judgments and decisions on the adjustment of the water temperature.

[0067] On the contrary, if it is determined that there is no human individual on the surface of the pool water, that is, the human individual is not in the swimming pool, then it is determined that the swimming pool currently does not want to provide swimming conditions for human individuals, so there is no need to start the dehumidification mode to adjust the air quality, nor is there any need to collect the swimming pool water temperature through the second sensing module and adjust it.

[0068] Step 102: When it is determined that the current swimming pool water temperature is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the air-conditioning outdoor unit is controlled to output a heating amount to the swimming pool heat storage device at a first power value in a dehumidification mode, and the target water pump is controlled to output hot water to the target swimming pool sub-area at a second power value when it is periodically started in sequence according to a water flow control strategy.

[0069] Among them, the water flow control strategy includes the start-up order and start-up time of the water pump; the first power value is the operating power of the external unit matching the current swimming pool water temperature; the second power value is the operating power of the water pump matching the current swimming pool water temperature; the swimming pool heat accumulator and the air-conditioning outdoor unit are in the outdoor space outside the swimming pool area, and refrigerant flows between the swimming pool heat accumulator and the air-conditioning outdoor unit through a pipeline; the target swimming pool sub-area is one of all the swimming pool sub-areas divided by the swimming pool area, and a water pump is preset at the bottom of any of the swimming pool sub-areas; the swimming pool heat accumulator outputs hot water to the swimming pool area through each water pump.

[0070] It should be noted that the preset threshold is a temperature threshold set based on whether the space in the swimming pool area is capable of providing a swimming environment for humans. That is, when the pool water temperature is lower than the preset threshold, it means that there is no water in the pool. On the contrary, it means that there is water in the pool and adaptive adjustment is required according to the water temperature.

[0071] It should be noted that the swimming pool area can be divided into multiple swimming pool sub-areas, and a water pump connected to the swimming pool heat accumulator is arranged at the bottom of each swimming pool sub-area, so that the swimming pool heat accumulator transports water to the corresponding swimming pool sub-area through a water channel connected to the water pump.

[0072] Specifically, in step 102, the air conditioning control device based on the swimming pool further analyzes the current swimming pool water temperature collected by the second sensing module when there are people in the swimming pool:

[0073] If the current swimming pool water temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it means that there are people in the swimming pool and the swimming pool is also capable of providing a swimming environment for human individuals. The air conditioner is switched from the standby state to the working state, so that during the heat exchange between the air-conditioning indoor unit and the air-conditioning outdoor unit in the dehumidification mode, the air-conditioning outdoor unit compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant returned by the air-conditioning indoor unit into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant, and a part of it continues to flow to the air-conditioning indoor unit for the next dehumidification cycle, and the other part flows to the heat exchanger in the swimming pool heat accumulator at the first power value to release heat matching the first power value to the swimming pool water flowing through the swimming pool heat accumulator, thereby increasing the water temperature of the swimming pool.

[0074] At the same time, the corresponding water pumps are turned on in the specified start-up order at different time sequences according to the pre-set water flow control strategy, and are kept on for the indicated start-up time. In addition, the water pump turned on in the current order is used as the target water pump, and when it is started, it outputs a water flow matching the second power value in the corresponding swimming pool sub-area at the second power value.

[0075] The first power value is the outdoor unit operating power of the air conditioner determined to be adapted to the current swimming pool water temperature according to the mapping relationship between the swimming pool water temperature and the outdoor unit operating power. The second power value is the water pump operating power determined to be adapted to the current swimming pool water temperature according to the mapping relationship between the swimming pool water temperature and the water pump operating power.

[0076] When it is determined that there is at least one human individual in the swimming pool area and the swimming pool water temperature is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the embodiment of the present invention makes a decision to make the swimming pool heat accumulator recover the heating output of the air-conditioning outdoor unit when it operates in the dehumidification mode under the first power value to adjust the swimming pool water temperature, and makes the swimming pool heat accumulator control the target water pump to adjust the water flow under the second power value according to the opening order and opening duration. The heat energy of the air-conditioning outdoor unit can be used in whole or in part for the swimming pool heat accumulator to adjust the swimming pool water temperature, and the actual water temperature of the swimming pool can be used as a basis to adaptively adjust the operating power of the air-conditioning outdoor unit and the water pump, thereby improving the control accuracy of the air-conditioning, saving energy efficiency, and optimizing the user experience.

[0077] Based on any of the above embodiments, when it is determined that the current swimming pool water temperature is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the air conditioner outdoor unit is controlled to output heating amount to the swimming pool heat storage device at a first power value, including: substituting the current swimming pool water temperature into a first mathematical model to obtain a first power percentage.

[0078] Wherein, the first mathematical model is determined according to the negative correlation between the swimming pool water temperature and the power percentage of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0079] It should be noted that the first mathematical model includes a one-to-one functional relationship between the swimming pool water temperature and the operating power percentage of the air-conditioning outdoor unit. The higher the swimming pool water temperature, the smaller the current demand for increasing the water temperature. Therefore, the air-conditioning outdoor unit can provide heat to the swimming pool heat storage device in a weaker operating state.

[0080] The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the representation form of the first mathematical model.

[0081] Optionally, the first mathematical model may be a table with multiple rows and two columns, one column being the swimming pool water temperature, and the other column being the operating power percentage of the air conditioner outdoor unit, ie, the first power percentage.

[0082] Optionally, the first mathematical model may also be a calculation model trained using artificial intelligence technology regarding the operating power percentage (ie, the first power percentage) of the air-conditioning outdoor unit.

[0083] Specifically, in step 102, the swimming pool-based air conditioning control device substitutes the current swimming pool water temperature into the first mathematical model, and determines a first power percentage corresponding to the current swimming pool water temperature according to a mapping relationship included in the first mathematical model.

[0084] Preferably, the calculation formula of the first mathematical model is as follows:

[0085] P1=[(At) / A]*100%=[(1-t) / 26]*100%

[0086] Wherein, P1 is the first power percentage, and its value range is 0 to 100%. t is the current swimming pool water temperature. A is the constant target temperature value to be maintained by the swimming pool. The value of A should be the temperature range specified by the industry for constant temperature swimming pools, that is, between 26°C and 28°C. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the value of A.

[0087] The first power value is determined based on the first power percentage and the rated operating power of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0088] Specifically, the swimming pool-based air-conditioning control device takes the product of the rated operating power of the air-conditioning outdoor unit and the first power percentage as the first power value, so that the air-conditioning outdoor unit outputs the corresponding heating amount to the swimming pool heat storage tank at the first power value, so as to increase the current swimming pool water temperature to the constant target temperature value to be maintained by the swimming pool.

[0089] The embodiment of the present invention uses the first mathematical model to convert the first power percentage corresponding to the current swimming pool water temperature, and converts the first power value corresponding to the air-conditioning outdoor unit by multiplying the rated operating power of the air-conditioning outdoor unit by the first power percentage, so that as the swimming pool water temperature increases, the heating output of the air-conditioning outdoor unit is reduced accordingly. The air-conditioning outdoor unit can output heat of corresponding intensity for different water temperatures, so that the heat can be transported to the swimming pool heat accumulator at the corresponding intensity to release heat and adjust the water temperature. The quantitative adjustment of the heat release required by the swimming pool heat accumulator according to the actual water temperature is achieved, and the performance balance of the air conditioner and the heat accumulator is dynamically maintained, and energy efficiency is saved.

[0090] Based on any of the above embodiments, when it is determined that the current swimming pool water temperature is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the target water pump is controlled to output hot water to the target swimming pool sub-area at a second power value when it is periodically started in sequence according to the water flow control strategy, including: substituting the current swimming pool water temperature into a second mathematical model to obtain a second power percentage.

[0091] Wherein, the second mathematical model is determined based on the positive correlation between the swimming pool water temperature and the power percentage of the water pump.

[0092] It should be noted that the second mathematical model includes a one-to-one mapping functional relationship between the swimming pool water temperature and the operating power percentage of the water pump. The higher the swimming pool water temperature, the smaller the current demand for increasing the water temperature. Therefore, the swimming pool heat storage device can output a small amount of heat-exchanged water through a water pump with a smaller opening.

[0093] The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the representation form of the second mathematical model.

[0094] Optionally, the second mathematical model may be a table with multiple rows and two columns, one column being the swimming pool water temperature, and the other being the operating power percentage of the water pump, ie, the second power percentage.

[0095] Optionally, the second mathematical model may also be a calculation model trained using artificial intelligence technology regarding the operating power percentage of the water pump (ie, the second power percentage).

[0096] Specifically, in step 102, the swimming pool-based air conditioning control device substitutes the current swimming pool water temperature into the second mathematical model, and determines the second power percentage corresponding to the current swimming pool water temperature according to the mapping relationship included in the second mathematical model.

[0097] Preferably, the calculation formula of the second mathematical model is as follows:

[0098] P2=[t / A]*100%=[t / 26]*100%

[0099] Wherein, P2 is the second power percentage, and its value range is 0 to 100%, and the sum of P2 and P1 is 100%. t is the current swimming pool water temperature. A is the constant target temperature value to be maintained by the swimming pool. The value of A should be the temperature range specified by the industry for constant temperature swimming pools, that is, between 26°C and 28°C. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the value of A.

[0100] The second power value is determined based on the second power percentage and a rated operating power of the water pump.

[0101] Specifically, the swimming pool-based air conditioning control device uses the product of the rated operating power of the water pump and the second power percentage as the second power value, so that the target water pump that is in the turned-on state in the corresponding order can output the water flow after the heat released by the swimming pool heat storage device at the second power value, so as to increase the hot water flow to the constant target temperature value to be maintained by the swimming pool based on the current swimming pool water temperature.

[0102] The embodiment of the present invention uses the second mathematical model to convert the second power percentage corresponding to the current swimming pool water temperature, and converts the second power value corresponding to the target water pump by multiplying the rated operating power of the water pump and the second power percentage, so that as the swimming pool water temperature increases, the water flow output by the water pump increases accordingly. The water pump can output a flow of corresponding intensity for different water temperatures, so as to transport hot water at the corresponding flow rate to the swimming pool to adjust the water temperature. The water flow required by the water pump is quantitatively adjusted according to the actual water temperature, and the performance balance of the air conditioner and the heat storage device is dynamically maintained, and energy efficiency is saved.

[0103] Based on any of the above embodiments, the swimming pool area is divided into m*n swimming pool sub-areas, and an m*n water pump array is correspondingly deployed at the bottom of the swimming pool area.

[0104] Accordingly, the water flow control strategy includes:

[0105] Taking the water pump at the position ((m+1) / 2, (n+1) / 2) in the water pump array as the central symmetry point, a plurality of symmetry axes of the swimming pool area about the central symmetry point are determined.

[0106] The water pumps deployed on each symmetry axis of the water pump array are controlled to be turned on in sequence according to the first start-up sequence, and are operated at the second power value within the first start-up duration.

[0107] The first opening order is determined according to the changing rule of multiple symmetry axes around the central symmetry point. The values ​​of m and n are positive odd numbers, and m and n cannot be 1 at the same time.

[0108] Specifically, the swimming pool area can be divided into m*n swimming pool sub-areas after being divided into m equal or unequal parts in the vertical direction and n equal or unequal parts in the horizontal direction, and a water pump connected to the swimming pool heat accumulator is arranged at the bottom of each swimming pool sub-area, so that the water pump array formed by the swimming pool heat accumulator when different water pumps are turned on at different timings changes accordingly, thereby delivering water to the swimming pool partition corresponding to the current form of the water pump array.

[0109] The value range of m and n is a positive odd number greater than or equal to 1, but m and n cannot be 1 at the same time.

[0110] At this time, the water flow control strategy implemented can be to make the symmetry axis of the swimming pool area rotate around the axis of symmetry, so that when each symmetry axis stops rotating, the water pump covered by it is turned on, and then a flow is formed around the center as the symmetry axis rotates. The specific strategy is:

[0111] The symmetry axis and the central symmetry point ((m+1) / 2, (n+1) / 2) where multiple symmetry axes intersect are determined according to the size of the water pump array, and the first opening order and the first opening duration of each symmetry axis are determined according to the change rule of the multiple symmetry axes around the central symmetry point, so that when executing the strategy, the water pumps in all sub-areas covered on the corresponding symmetry axis are turned on according to the first opening order. After all the water pumps on the symmetry axis operate at the converted second power value and maintain the first opening duration, the water pumps in all sub-areas covered on the next symmetry axis are turned on in sequence to operate at the same power, and so on.

[0112] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the pool area division provided by the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a water flow control strategy for forming a center flow when m and n are both 3:

[0113] In the 3*3 water pump array, the water pump with coordinates (2, 2) is at the central symmetric point and is numbered 5. The water pumps at (2, 1) and (2, 3) on both sides are numbered 4 and 6. The water pumps with coordinates (1, 1), (1, 2) and (1, 3) in the first row are numbered 1, 2 and 3 respectively. The water pumps with coordinates (3, 1), (3, 2) and (3, 3) in the third row are numbered 7, 8 and 9 respectively.

[0114] Therefore, the symmetry axis of the swimming pool area covers the diagonal line 1 connected by numbers 1, 5, and 9, the diagonal line 2 connected by numbers 3, 5, and 7, the vertical symmetry axis connected by numbers 2, 5, and 8, and the horizontal symmetry axis connected by numbers 4, 5, and 6. The first opening order formed by the change rule of these four symmetry axes around number 5 can be diagonal line 1, diagonal line 2, vertical symmetry axis, and horizontal symmetry axis rotating clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0115] According to the size characteristics of the water pump array, the embodiment of the present invention can formulate a water flow control strategy by using the symmetry axis of the water pump array and the central symmetry point formed by the intersection of the symmetry axes, so that the water pumps on the corresponding symmetry axes are turned on simultaneously through the first opening order, and the first opening time is continuously operated at the second power value, so that the turbulence formed periodically around the central symmetry point balances the water flow in the swimming pool. The diffusion speed of hot water in the swimming pool is accelerated under the action of the vortex water flow, and the effect and efficiency of maintaining a constant temperature in the swimming pool are enhanced.

[0116] Based on any of the above embodiments, the swimming pool area is divided into m*n swimming pool sub-areas, and an m*n water pump array is correspondingly deployed at the bottom of the swimming pool area.

[0117] Accordingly, the water flow control strategy includes:

[0118] During the second start-up time, the water pump array is controlled to perform periodic alternating operation according to the second start-up sequence and the third start-up sequence respectively.

[0119] The second opening order is that the water pump array starts from the water pump at (1, 1) and moves in sequence along the horizontal direction to the water pump at (1, n), then moves in sequence along the diagonal direction to the water pump at (m, 1), and finally moves in sequence along the horizontal direction to the water pump at (m, n). The third opening order is that the water pump array starts from the water pump at (m, 1) and moves in sequence along the horizontal direction to the water pump at (1, 1), then moves in sequence along the diagonal direction to the water pump at (m, n), and finally moves in sequence along the horizontal direction to the water pump at (1, n); the values ​​of m and n are positive odd numbers, and m and n cannot be 1 at the same time.

[0120] Specifically, the swimming pool area can be divided into m*n swimming pool sub-areas after being divided into m equal or unequal parts in the vertical direction and n equal or unequal parts in the horizontal direction, and a water pump connected to the swimming pool heat accumulator is arranged at the bottom of each swimming pool sub-area, so that the water pump array formed by the swimming pool heat accumulator when different water pumps are turned on at different timings changes accordingly, thereby delivering water to the swimming pool partition corresponding to the current form of the water pump array.

[0121] The value range of m and n is a positive odd number greater than or equal to 1, but m and n cannot be 1 at the same time.

[0122] At this time, the water flow control strategy implemented can be to traverse each sub-area of ​​the swimming pool according to a predetermined route within the swimming pool area, and then form a fixed-trend bypass flow as the route progresses periodically. The specific strategy is:

[0123] The opening order is determined by the traversal route formulated according to the size of the water pump array. If each coordinate point is allowed to pass through multiple times in one route, a route can be formulated to traverse all coordinate points within the cycle.

[0124] If each coordinate point is allowed to pass only once in a route, multiple routes need to be formulated to be executed alternately in sequence within a cycle. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the number of routes formulated in this case.

[0125] Preferably, two routes forming a complementary relationship can be formulated, and the second opening order corresponding to one route is to start from the water pump at (1, 1), and then to the water pump at (1, n) in the horizontal direction, and then to the water pump at (m, 1) in the diagonal direction, and finally to the water pump at (m, n) in the horizontal direction.

[0126] The second opening order corresponding to the other route is to start from the water pump at (m, 1), go horizontally to the water pump at (1, 1), then go diagonally to the water pump at (m, n), and finally go horizontally to the water pump at (1, n).

[0127] When executing this strategy, during the first second on-time, the water pumps in all the sub-areas it passes through are sequentially turned on according to the second on-time sequence, and each water pump operates at the converted second power value. During the second second on-time, the water pumps in all the sub-areas it passes through are sequentially turned on according to the third on-time sequence, and each water pump operates at the converted second power value. This process is repeated and will not be described in detail here.

[0128] like Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a water flow control strategy for forming a fixed-trend bypass flow when m and n are both 3:

[0129] In the 3*3 water pump array, the water pump with coordinates (2, 2) is at the central symmetric point and is numbered 5. The water pumps at (2, 1) and (2, 3) on both sides are numbered 4 and 6. The water pumps with coordinates (1, 1), (1, 2) and (1, 3) in the first row are numbered 1, 2 and 3 respectively. The water pumps with coordinates (3, 1), (3, 2) and (3, 3) in the third row are numbered 7, 8 and 9 respectively.

[0130] In the first cycle (i.e., the second opening duration), the second opening sequence indicates the numbering of 1-2-3-5-7-8-9, and the corresponding order is opened. In the second cycle (i.e., the second opening duration), the third opening sequence indicates the numbering of 7-4-1-5-9-6-3, and the corresponding order is opened.

[0131] According to the arrangement characteristics of the water pump array, the embodiment of the present invention can formulate a water flow control strategy by using the traversal path points of the water pump array, so as to alternately turn on the water pumps through the second start-up sequence and the third start-up sequence, and continuously operate the second start-up time at the second power value, so as to form a disturbance with a certain trend to balance the water flow in the swimming pool. Under the action of the path-type water flow, the diffusion speed of hot water in various positions of the swimming pool is accelerated, and the effect and efficiency of maintaining a constant temperature in the swimming pool are enhanced.

[0132] Based on any of the above embodiments, it also includes: when it is determined by the first sensing module that there are no human individuals in the swimming pool area, or when it is determined by the second sensing module that the current swimming pool water temperature is less than a preset threshold, the air conditioner outdoor unit is controlled to stop running in dehumidification mode, and the swimming pool heat storage device and all water pumps are controlled to stop running.

[0133] Specifically, when the indoor unit of the air-conditioning control device based on the swimming pool is in standby mode, if the first sensing module senses that there is no human individual on the water surface of the swimming pool, that is, the human individual is not in the swimming pool, it is determined that the swimming pool currently does not want to provide swimming conditions for human individuals. Therefore, there is no need to start the dehumidification mode to adjust the air quality, nor is there any need to collect the swimming pool water temperature and adjust it through the second sensing module.

[0134] If the first sensing module senses the presence of a human on the surface of the swimming pool, but the current swimming pool water temperature collected by the second sensing module is lower than the preset threshold, it means that the human is in a swimming pool without water. In this case, the swimming pool is deemed to be emptied of water and waiting for someone to clean it, so there is no need to start the dehumidification mode to adjust the air quality.

[0135] Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the swimming pool-based air conditioning control method provided by the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention is combined with Figure 2 The swimming pool division method shown in the figure provides a specific implementation method of the air conditioning control method based on the swimming pool:

[0136] (1) After activating the air conditioner, it will enter standby mode and capture human targets through the air conditioner radar on the air conditioner indoor unit. If there is someone in the swimming pool, the temperature of the pool will be collected through the temperature sensor installed in the swimming pool. If it is greater than or equal to 0℃ (i.e. the preset threshold), steps (2)-(3) will be executed. Otherwise, the system will automatically stop operation.

[0137] (2) If a person is on the surface of a swimming pool, the air conditioner outdoor unit power percentage and the water pump power percentage are calculated based on the current pool temperature to adjust the operating power of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the water pump respectively.

[0138] (3) By integrating multiple water flow control strategies, the water pump is controlled to be turned on and off at different times while the air conditioner outdoor unit continues to operate at the corresponding operating power. The specific process is as follows:

[0139] The water pumps numbered 1, 5, and 9 run at the same time at the operating power for 5 seconds, and the other water pumps are turned off.

[0140] Pumps numbered 4, 5, and 6 run at full power for 5 seconds at the same time, and the remaining pumps are shut down.

[0141] The water pumps numbered 7, 5, and 3 run at the same time at the operating power for 5 seconds, and the other water pumps are turned off.

[0142] Pumps numbered 8, 5, and 2 run at the same time at their operating power for 5 seconds, and the remaining pumps are turned off.

[0143] Then within five seconds, the water pumps numbered 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9 are operated in sequence at the operating power of the water pumps, and the other water pumps are turned off.

[0144] Finally, within five seconds, the water pumps numbered 7, 4, 1, 5, 9, 6, and 3 are operated in sequence at the operating power of the water pumps, and the remaining water pumps are turned off.

[0145] This is a cycle and the process continues in a loop.

[0146] The embodiment of the present invention uses a radar module to sense human bodies in the swimming pool area when the air conditioner is on standby, and stops the system operation when no one is in the swimming pool for a preset time. It can stop water temperature regulation and indoor temperature regulation when no one is in the swimming pool for a long time, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.

[0147] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the air conditioning control device based on the swimming pool provided by the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the swimming pool-based air conditioning control device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a sensing module 410 and a joint control module 420, wherein:

[0148] The perception module 410 is used to collect the current swimming pool water temperature through the second perception module when it is determined through the first perception module that there is at least one human individual in the swimming pool area.

[0149] The joint control module 420 is used to control the air-conditioning outdoor unit to output heating to the swimming pool heat storage device at a first power value in the dehumidification mode when determining that the current swimming pool water temperature is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, and also control the target water pump to output hot water to the target swimming pool sub-area at a second power value when starting periodically and sequentially according to the water flow control strategy;

[0150] Among them, the water flow control strategy includes the start-up order and start-up time of the water pump; the first power value is the operating power of the external unit matching the current swimming pool water temperature; the second power value is the operating power of the water pump matching the current swimming pool water temperature; the first sensing module is a radar sensor module arranged on the air-conditioning indoor unit of the air conditioner; the second sensing module is a temperature sensor module arranged below the swimming pool water level line; the swimming pool heat accumulator and the air-conditioning outdoor unit are both in the outdoor space outside the swimming pool area, and refrigerant flows between the swimming pool heat accumulator and the air-conditioning outdoor unit through a pipeline; the target swimming pool sub-area is one of all the swimming pool sub-areas divided by the swimming pool area, and a water pump is preset at the bottom of any of the swimming pool sub-areas; the swimming pool heat accumulator outputs hot water to the swimming pool area through each water pump.

[0151] Specifically, the sensing module 410 and the joint control module 420 are electrically connected in sequence.

[0152] The perception module 410 receives an activation command sent by the user through a transmission medium, first puts the air-conditioning indoor unit into a standby state, and then uses the first perception module set on the air-conditioning indoor unit to calculate and analyze the electromagnetic waves reflected by the human body in the target indoor space, and uses the current positions of all human individuals analyzed to characterize whether there are human individuals on the water surface of the swimming pool.

[0153] If it is determined that there is at least one human individual on the surface of the pool water, which means that the human individual is currently in the swimming pool, then it is determined that the intention is to adjust the indoor temperature and humidity by activating the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner, but it is also necessary to collect the current swimming pool water temperature through the second sensing module to make further judgments and decisions on the adjustment of the water temperature.

[0154] The joint control module 420 further analyzes the current swimming pool water temperature collected by the second sensing module when there are people in the swimming pool:

[0155] If the current swimming pool water temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it means that there are people in the swimming pool and the swimming pool is also capable of providing a swimming environment for human individuals. The air conditioner is switched from the standby state to the working state, so that during the heat exchange between the air-conditioning indoor unit and the air-conditioning outdoor unit in the dehumidification mode, the air-conditioning outdoor unit compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant returned by the air-conditioning indoor unit into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant, and a part of it continues to flow to the air-conditioning indoor unit for the next dehumidification cycle, and the other part flows to the heat exchanger in the swimming pool heat accumulator at the first power value to release heat matching the first power value to the swimming pool water flowing through the swimming pool heat accumulator, thereby increasing the water temperature of the swimming pool.

[0156] At the same time, the corresponding water pumps are turned on in the specified start-up order at different time sequences according to the pre-set water flow control strategy, and are kept on for the indicated start-up time. In addition, the water pump turned on in the current order is used as the target water pump, and when it is started, it outputs a water flow matching the second power value in the corresponding swimming pool sub-area at the second power value.

[0157] Optionally, the joint control module 420 includes a first power percentage determination unit and a first power value determination unit, wherein:

[0158] The first power percentage determining unit is used to substitute the current swimming pool water temperature into a first mathematical model to obtain a first power percentage.

[0159] The first power value determining unit is used to determine the first power value based on the first power percentage and the rated operating power of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0160] Wherein, the first mathematical model is determined according to the negative correlation between the swimming pool water temperature and the power percentage of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0161] Optionally, the joint control module 420 includes a second power percentage determination unit and a second power value determination unit, wherein:

[0162] The second power percentage determining unit is used to substitute the current swimming pool water temperature into a second mathematical model to obtain a second power percentage.

[0163] The second power value determining unit is used to determine the second power value based on the second power percentage and the rated operating power of the water pump.

[0164] Wherein, the second mathematical model is determined based on the positive correlation between the swimming pool water temperature and the power percentage of the water pump.

[0165] Optionally, the swimming pool area is divided into m*n swimming pool sub-areas, and an m*n water pump array is deployed at the bottom of the swimming pool area accordingly;

[0166] Accordingly, the water flow control strategy includes:

[0167] Taking the water pump at ((m+1) / 2, (n+1) / 2) in the water pump array as the central symmetry point, determining a plurality of symmetry axes of the swimming pool area about the central symmetry point;

[0168] Controlling the water pumps deployed on each symmetry axis of the water pump array to start in sequence according to the first start-up order, and operating at the second power value within the first start-up time;

[0169] Among them, the first opening order is determined according to the change law of multiple symmetry axes around the central symmetry point; the values ​​of m and n are positive odd numbers, and m and n cannot be 1 at the same time.

[0170] Optionally, the swimming pool area is divided into m*n swimming pool sub-areas, and an m*n water pump array is deployed at the bottom of the swimming pool area accordingly;

[0171] Accordingly, the water flow control strategy includes:

[0172] During the second start-up time, the water pump array is controlled to perform periodic alternating operation according to the second start-up sequence and the third start-up sequence respectively;

[0173] Among them, the second opening order is that the water pump array takes the water pump at (1, 1) as the starting point, and then moves along the horizontal direction to the water pump at (1, n), then moves along the diagonal direction to the water pump at (m, 1), and finally moves along the horizontal direction to the water pump at (m, n); the third opening order is that the water pump array takes the water pump at (m, 1) as the starting point, and then moves along the horizontal direction to the water pump at (1, 1), then moves along the diagonal direction to the water pump at (m, n), and finally moves along the horizontal direction to the water pump at (1, n); the values ​​of m and n are positive odd numbers, and m and n cannot be 1 at the same time.

[0174] Optionally, the device further comprises an operation termination module, wherein:

[0175] The operation termination module is used to control the air-conditioning outdoor unit to stop running the dehumidification mode, and also control the swimming pool heat storage device and all water pumps to stop running when it is determined by the first sensing module that there are no human individuals in the swimming pool area, or when it is determined by the second sensing module that the current swimming pool water temperature is less than a preset threshold.

[0176] The swimming pool-based air conditioning control device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is used to execute the above-mentioned swimming pool-based air conditioning control method of the present invention. Its implementation method is consistent with the implementation method of the swimming pool-based air conditioning control method provided by the present invention, and can achieve the same beneficial effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0177] When it is determined that there is at least one human individual in the swimming pool area and the swimming pool water temperature is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the embodiment of the present invention makes a decision to make the swimming pool heat accumulator recover the heating output of the air-conditioning outdoor unit when it operates in the dehumidification mode under the first power value to adjust the swimming pool water temperature, and makes the swimming pool heat accumulator control the target water pump to adjust the water flow under the second power value according to the opening order and opening duration. The heat energy of the air-conditioning outdoor unit can be used in whole or in part for the swimming pool heat accumulator to adjust the swimming pool water temperature, and the actual water temperature of the swimming pool can be used as a basis to adaptively adjust the operating power of the air-conditioning outdoor unit and the water pump, thereby improving the control accuracy of the air-conditioning, saving energy efficiency, and optimizing the user experience.

[0178] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of the air conditioning system provided by the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioning system provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes an air conditioning indoor unit 510 located in the same indoor space as the swimming pool area, and an air conditioning outdoor unit 520 and a swimming pool heat storage device 530 arranged in other spaces outside the swimming pool area.

[0179] During the heat exchange between the air-conditioning indoor unit 510 and the air-conditioning outdoor unit 520 in the dehumidification mode, the heat output by the air-conditioning outdoor unit 520 is recovered by the heat exchanger in the swimming pool heat storage device 530 .

[0180] The bottom portion of the swimming pool area is provided with m*n water pumps 540 , and the swimming pool heat accumulator 530 supplies water to the corresponding water pumps 540 in the swimming pool area through m*n parallel waterways.

[0181] The air conditioner indoor unit 510 is provided with a first sensing module 511, and the swimming pool area is provided with a second sensing module 550 below the water level of the inner wall. The air conditioner indoor unit is used to implement the swimming pool-based air conditioning control method as described in any of the above items when executing the program, so as to sense the swimming pool water temperature and indoor air quality in the swimming pool area.

[0182] Specifically, in the air conditioning system, the air conditioner is used to adjust the temperature and humidity of the space where the swimming pool area is located, and the air conditioning indoor unit 510 in the air conditioner is set in the space where the swimming pool area is located, so as to adjust the temperature and humidity of the space where the swimming pool area is located through the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner. In addition, the air conditioning outdoor unit 520 and the swimming pool heat accumulator 530 in the air conditioner are connected through a pipeline and are jointly deployed in other spaces outside the swimming pool area, so that in the heat exchange process of any dehumidification mode of the air conditioner, after the air conditioning outdoor unit 520 compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant transmitted by the air conditioning indoor unit 510 into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant, a part of it flows to the heat exchanger deployed in the air conditioning outdoor unit 520 itself for the next dehumidification cycle, and the other part flows to the heat exchanger in the swimming pool heat accumulator 530 to condense and release heat to the swimming pool water flowing through the swimming pool heat accumulator 530, so that the water temperature of the swimming pool area is maintained at a constant value.

[0183] A first sensing module 511 is correspondingly arranged on the air conditioner indoor unit 510, and a second sensing module 550 is arranged below the water level in the swimming pool. When the air conditioner indoor unit 510 is activated, the air conditioner indoor unit 510 is first placed in a standby state, and the radar module 511 calculates and analyzes the electromagnetic waves reflected by the individuals (i.e., the target individuals) on the water surface of the swimming pool area, and the current positions of all human individuals analyzed are used to characterize whether there are human individuals on the water surface of the swimming pool.

[0184] Furthermore, it is determined that there is at least one human individual on the surface of the pool water, which means that the human individual is currently in the swimming pool. Then it is determined that the intention is to adjust the indoor temperature and humidity by activating the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner, but it is also necessary to collect the current pool water temperature through the second sensing module to make further judgments and decisions on the adjustment of the water temperature.

[0185] If the current swimming pool water temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it means that there are people in the swimming pool and the swimming pool is also capable of providing a swimming environment for human individuals. The air conditioner is switched from the standby state to the working state, so that during the heat exchange between the air-conditioning indoor unit and the air-conditioning outdoor unit in the dehumidification mode, the air-conditioning outdoor unit compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant returned by the air-conditioning indoor unit into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant, and a part of it continues to flow to the air-conditioning indoor unit for the next dehumidification cycle, and the other part flows to the heat exchanger in the swimming pool heat accumulator at the first power value to release heat matching the first power value to the swimming pool water flowing through the swimming pool heat accumulator, thereby increasing the water temperature of the swimming pool.

[0186] At the same time, the corresponding water pumps are turned on in the specified start-up order at different time sequences according to the pre-set water flow control strategy, and are kept on for the indicated start-up time. In addition, the water pump turned on in the current order is used as the target water pump, and when it is started, it outputs a water flow matching the second power value in the corresponding swimming pool sub-area at the second power value.

[0187] When it is determined that there is at least one human individual in the swimming pool area and the swimming pool water temperature is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the embodiment of the present invention makes a decision to make the swimming pool heat accumulator recover the heating output of the air-conditioning outdoor unit when it operates in the dehumidification mode under the first power value to adjust the swimming pool water temperature, and makes the swimming pool heat accumulator control the target water pump to adjust the water flow under the second power value according to the opening order and opening duration. The heat energy of the air-conditioning outdoor unit can be used in whole or in part for the swimming pool heat accumulator to adjust the swimming pool water temperature, and the actual water temperature of the swimming pool can be used as a basis to adaptively adjust the operating power of the air-conditioning outdoor unit and the water pump, thereby improving the control accuracy of the air-conditioning, saving energy efficiency, and optimizing the user experience.

[0188] Based on any of the above embodiments, the swimming pool heat accumulator is connected to m*n water pumps arranged in the swimming pool area through a diversion pipeline system.

[0189] The diversion pipeline system includes a converging water inlet and m*n diversion water outlets.

[0190] The water outlet of the swimming pool heat accumulator is connected to the converging water inlet, and any of the diverting water outlets is connected to the water inlet of the corresponding water pump.

[0191] It should be noted that a heat exchanger is housed inside the swimming pool heat accumulator, and the refrigerant input port of the heat exchanger is connected to the output end of the compressor of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, while the refrigerant output port of the heat exchanger is connected to the input end of the compressor of the air-conditioning outdoor unit. The swimming pool heat accumulator is connected to the water outlet of the swimming pool through its own water inlet, so that the heat exchanger of the swimming pool heat accumulator acts as a condenser, releasing heat to the swimming pool water flowing through it, thereby achieving the purpose of heating the water.

[0192] Specifically, the diversion pipeline system is composed of a converging inlet connected to the outlet of the swimming pool heat accumulator, and diversion outlets connected to the water inlets of m*n water pumps in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to form m*n water paths between the swimming pool heat accumulator and the m*n water pumps.

[0193] In the whole control process, the water pump is operated in sequence according to the water flow control strategy, so that the m*n water paths in the diversion pipe system can be partially connected at the same time to generate corresponding forms of water flow in the swimming pool, and then operate periodically and regularly to accelerate the flow of water in the swimming pool.

[0194] The embodiment of the present invention uses a shunt pipe system to shunt water that has undergone heat exchange through a swimming pool heat accumulator to water pumps at different locations in the swimming pool. By controlling the switch of the water pump, the shunt pipe system is adjusted to be fully or partially connected, so that the water after heat exchange can be simultaneously transported to multiple swimming pool partitions through the connected waterways. The minimum number of pipes can be used to achieve a maximized channel structure, improve the control efficiency of pipe switching, and reduce the cost.

[0195] In addition, the logic instructions in the memory can be implemented in the form of software functional units and can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium when sold or used as an independent product. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention can be essentially or partly embodied in the form of a software product that contributes to the prior art. The computer software product is stored in a storage medium and includes several instructions for a computer device (which can be a personal computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to perform all or part of the steps of the method described in each embodiment of the present invention. The aforementioned storage medium includes: U disk, mobile hard disk, read-only memory (ROM, Read-Only Memory), random access memory (RAM, Random Access Memory), disk or optical disk, etc. Various media that can store program codes.
