[0049] It should be understood that the terms used in the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. As used in the present application, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0050] The terms "include" and "contain" indicate the presence of the described features, whole, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, whole, steps, operations, elements, components and / or sets thereof.

[0051] Figure 1 is one of the flow diagrams of the pool-based air conditioner control method provided by the present application. As shown in Figure 1 The pool-based air conditioner control method provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises: step 101, in the case that the first sensing module determines that there is at least one human individual in the pool area, the second sensing module collects the current pool water temperature.

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

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

[0054] The application scenario of the pool-based air conditioner control method of the embodiment of the present application is that the air conditioner transmits high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant to the pool heat accumulator to adjust the pool water temperature. Once the first sensing module on the indoor unit senses the presence of the human body, the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner is activated, and the second sensing module in the pool is used to collect the pool water temperature in real time, so as to adjust the operation power of the air conditioner and the water pump to adapt to 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 type and number of radar sensing devices in the radar sensing module are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0056] Exemplarily, the radar sensing module can 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 farthest detection can reach 8 meters, the distance output accuracy can reach 0.1 meters, the angle output accuracy can reach 1°, and there is no privacy problem and no light influence, the response speed is also faster.

[0058] Therefore, the pool-based air conditioner control device collects the human individual contour information and / or human individual sign information of the human individual above the water surface in the corresponding pool area in real time based on the millimeter wave radar to perceive whether there is a human individual in the pool.

[0059] Exemplarily, the radar module can include multiple types of sensing elements such as a millimeter wave radar, a laser radar, and an infrared sensor, and the pool-based air conditioner control device integrates the human individual contour information and / or human individual sign information collected by the sensing elements to comprehensively perceive whether there is a human individual in the pool.

[0060] The second sensing module is a temperature sensing module arranged below the water level of the pool, which is used to convert the pool water temperature into an electrical signal by using the rule that various physical properties of a substance change with temperature. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the type and number of temperature sensing devices in the temperature sensing module.

[0061] Exemplarily, the temperature sensing module can include a thermocouple sensor, a thermistor sensor, a platinum resistance sensor, and an integrated temperature sensor. The temperature values collected by one or more sensors on the pool water are denoised.

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

[0063] Optionally, the user can transmit the activation instruction by using a wireless communication mode between the control device and the air conditioner through the control device to initialize the dehumidification mode of the entire air conditioner and start the radar module arranged on the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0064] Optionally, the user can issue an activation instruction through voice interaction, and the air conditioner receives the activation instruction and initializes the indoor unit of the air conditioner and the radar module arranged thereon after voice recognition.

[0065] Specifically, in step 101, the pool-based air conditioner control device receives an activation instruction sent by a user through a transmission medium, first makes the air conditioner indoor unit in a standby state, and then uses a first sensing module arranged on the air conditioner indoor unit to calculate and analyze electromagnetic waves reflected by a human body in the target indoor space, and determines whether there is a human body on the pool water surface through the current position of all human individuals.

[0066] If it is determined that there is at least one human individual on the pool water surface, that is, the human individual is currently in the pool, it is determined that the indoor temperature and humidity are adjusted by activating the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner, but the current pool water temperature needs to be collected by the second sensing module for further judgment and decision on the adjustment of the water temperature.

[0067] On the contrary, if it is determined that there is no human individual on the pool water surface, that is, the human individual is not in the pool, it is determined that the pool does not provide swimming conditions for the human individual at present, so it is not necessary to start the dehumidification mode to adjust the air quality, and it is also not necessary to collect the pool water temperature by the second sensing module and adjust it.

[0068] Step 102, in the case where the current pool water temperature is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the air conditioner outdoor unit is controlled to output heat to the pool heat accumulator in the dehumidification mode at a first power value, and the target water pump is controlled to output hot water to the target pool sub-region at a second power value according to a water flow control strategy.

[0069] The water flow control strategy includes the opening sequence and opening time of the water pump; the first power value is the outdoor unit operating power matched with the current pool water temperature; the second power value is the water pump operating power matched with the current pool water temperature; the pool heat accumulator and the air conditioner outdoor unit are located in the outdoor space outside the pool area, and the pool heat accumulator and the air conditioner outdoor unit are in communication through a pipeline; the target pool sub-region is one of all pool sub-regions divided from the pool area, and each pool sub-region is provided with a water pump at the bottom; the pool heat accumulator outputs hot water to the pool area through the water pump.

[0070] It should be noted that the preset threshold is a temperature threshold set according to whether the space where the pool area is located has the ability to provide a swimming environment open to humans. That is, when the pool water temperature is less than the preset threshold, it means that there is no water in the pool, and vice versa, which means that there is water in the pool, and adaptive adjustment needs to be made according to the water temperature.

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

[0072] Specifically, in step 102, the pool-based air conditioner control device further analyzes the current pool water temperature collected by the second sensing module when the pool has a person:

[0073] If the current pool water temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it means that the pool has a person and the pool also has the condition to provide a swimming environment for a human individual, so the air conditioner is switched from the standby state to the working state, and in the process of heat exchange between the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit in the dehumidification mode, the low-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant returned by the air conditioner indoor unit is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant by the air conditioner outdoor unit, and part of it continues to flow to the air conditioner indoor unit for the next dehumidification cycle, and the other part flows to the heat exchanger in the pool heat accumulator at a first power value to release heat matched with the first power value to the pool water flowing through the pool heat accumulator, thereby increasing the pool water temperature.

[0074] At the same time, according to the pre-set water flow control strategy, the corresponding water pump is sequentially turned on in the specified opening sequence at different time sequences, and is kept in the open state within the indicated opening duration. In addition, the water pump opened in the current sequence is taken as the target water pump, and when it is started, a water flow matched with the second power value is output in the corresponding pool sub-area at the second power value.

[0075] Wherein, the first power value is the outdoor unit operating power determined by the air conditioner outdoor unit according to the mapping relationship between the pool water temperature and the outdoor unit operating power, which is matched with the current pool water temperature. The second power value is the water pump operating power determined by the water pump according to the mapping relationship between the pool water temperature and the water pump operating power, which is matched with the current pool water temperature.

[0076] When the embodiment of the present application determines that there is at least one human individual in the pool area and the pool water temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it decides to make the pool heat accumulator recover the heating capacity output by the air conditioner outdoor unit in the dehumidification mode at the first power value to adjust the pool water temperature, and make the pool heat accumulator control the target water pump at the second power value according to the opening sequence and the opening duration to adjust the water flow. The heat energy of the air conditioner outdoor unit can be used entirely or partially for the pool heat accumulator to adjust the pool water temperature, and the actual pool water temperature is used as a basis to adaptively adjust the operating power of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the water pump, thereby improving the control accuracy of the air conditioner, saving energy, and optimizing the user experience.

[0077] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, in the case where the current pool water temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the control of the air conditioner outdoor unit to output heating capacity to the pool heat accumulator at the first power value comprises: substituting the current pool water temperature into the first mathematical model to obtain the first power percentage.

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

[0079] It should be noted that the first mathematical model contains a one-to-one mapping function relationship between the pool water temperature and the running power percentage of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the higher the pool water temperature, the smaller the current demand for raising the water temperature, so the air conditioner outdoor unit can provide heat to the pool heat accumulator in a weak running state.

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

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

[0082] Optionally, the first mathematical model can also be a calculation model trained by artificial intelligence technology on the running power percentage of the air conditioner outdoor unit, i.e., the first power percentage.

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

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

[0085] P1 = [(A-t) / 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 pool water temperature. A is the constant target temperature value to be maintained by the pool, and the value of A should be the temperature range specified in the industry for constant temperature pools, i.e., between 26℃ and 28℃, and the value of A is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the application.

[0087] Based on the first power percentage and the rated running power of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the first power value is determined.

[0088] Specifically, the air conditioner control device based on the pool takes the product of the rated running power of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the first power percentage as the first power value, so that the air conditioner outdoor unit outputs corresponding heating to the pool heat accumulator at the first power value, so as to raise the current pool water temperature to the constant target temperature value to be maintained by the pool.

[0089] The embodiment of the present application converts the first power percentage corresponding to the current pool water temperature by using the first mathematical model, converts the first power value corresponding to the air conditioner outdoor unit by multiplying the rated operating power of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the first power percentage, and reduces the heating output of the air conditioner outdoor unit as the pool water temperature rises. The corresponding intensity of heat can be output by the air conditioner outdoor unit for different water temperatures, so that the heat is delivered to the pool heat accumulator at the corresponding intensity to release heat and adjust the water temperature. The required heat release of the pool heat accumulator is quantitatively adjusted according to the actual water temperature, the performance balance of the air conditioner and the heat accumulator is dynamically maintained, and energy saving is achieved.

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

[0091] The second mathematical model is determined according to the positive correlation between the pool water temperature and the power percentage of the water pump.

[0092] It should be noted that the second mathematical model contains a one-to-one mapping function relationship between the pool water temperature and the operating power percentage of the water pump. The higher the pool water temperature, the smaller the current demand for raising the water temperature, so that the pool heat accumulator can output a small amount of heat-exchanged water through a water pump with a small opening.

[0093] The embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitation on the form of the second mathematical model.

[0094] Alternatively, the second mathematical model can be a table with multiple rows and two columns. One column is the pool water temperature, and the other column is the operating power percentage of the water pump, i.e., the second power percentage.

[0095] Alternatively, the second mathematical model can also be a calculation model trained by artificial intelligence technology on the operating power percentage of the water pump, i.e., the second power percentage.

[0096] Specifically, in step 102, the air conditioner control device of the pool substitutes the current pool water temperature into the second mathematical model, and determines the second power percentage corresponding to the current pool water temperature according to the mapping relationship contained 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] P2 is a second power percentage, and the value range of P2 is 0 to 100%, and the sum of P2 and P1 is 100%. t is a current pool water temperature. A is a constant target temperature value to be maintained by the pool, and the value of A should be a temperature range of a constant temperature pool in the industry, that is, between 26 DEG C and 28 DEG C, and the value of A is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

[0100] Based on the second power percentage and the rated operating power of the water pump, the second power value is determined.

[0101] Specifically, the air conditioning control device of the pool takes 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 in the corresponding sequence in the on state outputs the water flow after the pool heat accumulator releases heat at the second power value, so as to increase the hot water flow on the basis of the current pool water temperature to the constant target temperature value to be maintained by the pool.

[0102] The embodiment of the application converts the second power percentage corresponding to the current pool water temperature by using the second mathematical model, 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, and increases the water flow output by the water pump corresponding to the increase of the pool water temperature. The corresponding intensity of the flow output by the water pump can be adjusted for different water temperatures, so that the hot water under the corresponding flow is transported into the pool to adjust the water temperature. The required water flow of the water pump is quantitatively adjusted according to the actual water temperature, the performance balance of the air conditioner and the heat accumulator is dynamically maintained, and energy saving is achieved.

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

[0104] Correspondingly, the water flow control strategy comprises:

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

[0106] According to a first opening sequence, the water pumps arranged on each symmetry axis in the water pump array are controlled to be turned on in turn, and the water pumps are operated at the second power value within a first opening time.

[0107] The first opening sequence is determined according to the change rule of the plurality of symmetry axes around the center of symmetry. The values of m and n are positive odd numbers, and m and n cannot be 1 at the same time.

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

[0109] wherein m and n are positive odd numbers 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 executed can be that the symmetry axes of the pool area cover around the axis symmetry center to make each symmetry axis stop rotating when the water pumps covered thereby are turned on, and then a vortex is formed around the center as the symmetry axes rotate. The specific strategy is as follows:

[0111] The symmetry axes and the central symmetry point ((m+1) / 2, (n+1) / 2) where the symmetry axes intersect are determined according to the size of the water pump array, and the first opening sequence and the first opening time of each symmetry axis are determined according to the change rule of the symmetry axes around the central symmetry point, so that when the strategy is executed, the water pumps at all sub-areas covered by the corresponding symmetry axis are turned on in the first opening sequence, all water pumps on the symmetry axis are operated at the converted second power value and maintained for the first opening time, and then the water pumps at all sub-areas covered by the next symmetry axis are sequentially turned on and operated at the same power, and so on.

[0112] Figure 2 is a pool area division schematic diagram provided by the present application. As shown in Figure 2 , when m and n are both 3, the water flow control strategy for forming a central vortex is as follows:

[0113] In the 3*3 water pump array, the pump at the coordinate (2, 2) is at the central symmetry point, marked as No. 5, and the pumps at (2, 1) and (2, 3) on both sides are marked as No. 4 and No. 6. The pumps at the coordinates (1, 1), (1, 2) and (1, 3) in the first row are marked as No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 respectively. The pumps at the coordinates (3, 1), (3, 2) and (3, 3) in the third row are marked as No. 7, No. 8 and No. 9 respectively.

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

[0115] According to the size characteristics of the water pump array, the embodiment of the present application can utilize the symmetry axes of the water pump array and the central symmetry point formed by the intersection of the symmetry axes to formulate a water flow control strategy, so as to simultaneously open the water pumps on the corresponding symmetry axes through the first opening sequence, and continuously operate the water pumps at the second power value for the first opening duration, so as to periodically form the disturbance around the central symmetry point to balance the water flow surge in the pool. The effect and efficiency of maintaining constant temperature of the pool are strengthened by accelerating the diffusion speed of hot water in the pool under the action of vortex water flow.

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

[0117] Correspondingly, the water flow control strategy comprises:

[0118] In the second opening duration, the water pump array is controlled to periodically and alternately operate according to the second opening sequence and the third opening sequence.

[0119] The second opening sequence is that the water pump array takes the water pump at (1, 1) as the starting point, sequentially reaches the water pump at (1, n) along the horizontal direction, then sequentially reaches the water pump at (m, 1) along the diagonal direction, and finally sequentially reaches the water pump at (m, n) along the horizontal direction. The third opening sequence is that the water pump array takes the water pump at (m, 1) as the starting point, sequentially reaches the water pump at (1, 1) along the horizontal direction, then sequentially reaches the water pump at (m, n) along the diagonal direction, and finally sequentially reaches the water pump at (1, n) along the horizontal direction. The values of m and n are positive odd numbers, and m and n cannot be simultaneously 1.

[0120] Specifically, the pool area can be divided into m*n pool sub-areas after being divided into m portions in the vertical direction and n portions in the horizontal direction, and a water pump is arranged at the bottom of each pool sub-area and connected to the pool heat accumulator, so that the pool heat accumulator changes the water pump array formed by opening the water pumps at different time sequences, thereby delivering water flow to the pool sub-area corresponding to the current form of the water pump array.

[0121] Wherein, m and n are positive odd numbers 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 executed can be to make each pool sub-area in the pool area traverse each pool sub-area according to a predetermined route, and then periodically advance along the route to form a fixed pattern of flow. The specific strategy is as follows:

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

[0124] If each coordinate point is only allowed to pass through once in one route, multiple routes need to be determined to be executed in turn in a cycle. The number of routes determined by the present embodiment is not limited in this case.

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

[0126] The second opening sequence corresponding to the other route is to start from the water pump at (m, 1), sequentially reach the water pump at (1, 1) along the horizontal direction, then sequentially reach the water pump at (m, n) along the diagonal direction, and finally sequentially reach the water pump at (1, n) along the horizontal direction.

[0127] When executing the strategy, in the first second opening duration, the water pumps at all sub-areas passed through according to the second opening sequence are sequentially opened, and each water pump is operated at the converted second power value. In the second second opening duration, the water pumps at all sub-areas passed through according to the third opening sequence are sequentially opened, and each water pump is operated at the converted second power value. This is alternated, which is not described here.

[0128] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 2 The water flow control strategy for forming a fixed pattern of flow when m and n are both 3 is as follows:

[0129] In the 3*3 water pump array, the coordinate (2, 2) is the water pump at the center of symmetry, marked as No. 5, and the water pumps at (2, 1) and (2, 3) on both sides are marked as No. 4 and No. 6. The water pumps at (1, 1), (1, 2) and (1, 3) in the first row are marked as No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 respectively. The water pumps at (3, 1), (3, 2) and (3, 3) in the third row are marked as No. 7, No. 8 and No. 9 respectively.

[0130] During the first cycle (i.e., the second opening duration), the devices are opened in the corresponding order according to the second opening sequence indicator numbered 1-2-3-5-7-8-9. During the second cycle (i.e., the second opening duration), the devices are opened in the corresponding order according to the third opening sequence indicator numbered 7-4-1-5-9-6-3.

[0131] Based on the arrangement characteristics of the water pump array, this invention can formulate a water flow control strategy by utilizing the traversal path points of the water pump array. This involves alternately activating the water pumps in a second and third activation sequence, and continuously operating them at a second power value for a second activation duration. This creates a balanced water flow within the pool with a specific trend and disturbance. This path-based water flow accelerates the diffusion of hot water throughout the pool, enhancing the pool's ability and efficiency in maintaining a constant temperature.

[0132] Based on any of the above embodiments, the method further includes: if the first sensing module determines that there are no human individuals in the pool area, or if the second sensing module determines that the current pool water temperature is less than a preset threshold, controlling the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to stop operating in dehumidification mode, and also controlling the pool heat storage unit and all water pumps to stop operating.

[0133] Specifically, when the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in standby mode, if the first sensing module detects that there are no human individuals on the surface of the pool, it means that the human individuals are not in the pool. Therefore, it is determined that the pool does not want to provide swimming conditions for human individuals. Thus, there is no need to start the dehumidification mode to adjust the air quality, nor is it necessary to collect and adjust the pool water temperature through the second sensing module.

[0134] If the first sensing module detects the presence of a human on the surface of the pool, but the second sensing module detects that the current pool water temperature is below a preset threshold, indicating that the human is in a pool without water, then the pool is considered to be empty and awaiting cleaning. Therefore, there is no need to activate the dehumidification mode to adjust the air quality.

[0135] Figure 3 This is the second schematic flowchart of the swimming pool-based air conditioning control method provided by the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the embodiments of the present invention are combined with Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the pool division method, and a specific implementation of an air conditioning control method based on the pool is provided:

[0136] (1) After activating the air conditioner, it first enters standby mode and detects human targets through the air conditioning radar on the indoor unit. If there are people in the pool, the temperature of the pool is collected by the temperature sensor installed in the pool. If it is greater than or equal to 0℃ (i.e., the preset threshold), then steps (2)-(3) are executed. Otherwise, the system automatically stops operating.

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

[0138] (3) Through the mode of fusion of multiple water flow control strategies, the water pump is controlled to be turned on and off at different times during the continuous operation of the air conditioner outdoor unit at the corresponding operation power, and the specific process is as follows:

[0139] The water pumps numbered 1, 5, and 9 are simultaneously operated at the water pump operation power for 5 seconds, and the remaining water pumps are turned off.

[0140] The water pumps numbered 4, 5, and 6 are simultaneously operated at the water pump operation power for 5 seconds, and the remaining water pumps are turned off.

[0141] The water pumps numbered 7, 5, and 3 are simultaneously operated at the water pump operation power for 5 seconds, and the remaining water pumps are turned off.

[0142] The water pumps numbered 8, 5, and 2 are simultaneously operated at the water pump operation power for 5 seconds, and the remaining water pumps are turned off.

[0143] Then, the water pumps numbered 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9 are sequentially operated at the water pump operation power for 5 seconds, and the remaining water pumps are turned off.

[0144] Finally, the water pumps numbered 7, 4, 1, 5, 9, 6, and 3 are sequentially operated at the water pump operation power for 5 seconds, and the remaining water pumps are turned off.

[0145] This is a cycle, and the operation is repeated.

[0146] In the standby state of the air conditioner, the radar module is used to sense the human body in the pool area. When the pool is continuously empty for a predetermined period of time, the system stops running. When the pool is empty for a long time, the water temperature regulation and indoor temperature regulation are stopped to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.

[0147] Figure 4 is a structural diagram of the air conditioner control device based on the swimming pool provided by the application. Based on any of the above embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The air conditioner control device based on the swimming pool provided by the embodiment of the application comprises a sensing module 410 and a joint control module 420, wherein:

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

[0149] The joint control module 420 is configured to control the air conditioner outdoor unit to output heat to the pool heat accumulator in the dehumidification mode at a first power value and control the target water pump to output hot water to the target pool sub-region at a second power value according to a water flow control strategy when the current pool water temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold.

[0150] The water flow control strategy includes the opening sequence and the opening duration of the water pump; the first power value is the outdoor unit operating power matched with the current pool water temperature; the second power value is the water pump operating power matched with the current pool water temperature; the first sensing module is a radar sensing module arranged on the air conditioner indoor unit; the second sensing module is a temperature sensing module arranged below the pool water level; the pool heat accumulator and the air conditioner outdoor unit are located in the outdoor space outside the pool area, and the pool heat accumulator and the air conditioner outdoor unit are in communication with the refrigerant through the pipeline; the target pool sub-region is one of all pool sub-regions divided from the pool area, and the bottom of each pool sub-region is respectively provided with a water pump; the pool heat accumulator outputs hot water to the pool area through each water pump.

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

[0152] The sensing module 410 receives an activation instruction sent by a user through a transmission medium, first makes the air conditioner indoor unit in a standby state, and then uses the first sensing module arranged on the air conditioner indoor unit to calculate and analyze the electromagnetic waves reflected by the human body below the target indoor space, and determines whether there is a human body on the pool water surface through the current position of all human individuals analyzed.

[0153] If it is determined that there is at least one human individual on the pool water surface, that is, the human individual is currently in the pool, it is determined that the intention is to adjust the indoor temperature and humidity by activating the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner, but the current pool water temperature needs to be collected by the second sensing module to make further judgment and decision on the adjustment of the water temperature.

[0154] The joint control module 420 further analyzes the current pool water temperature collected by the second sensing module when there is a human in the pool.

[0155] If the current pool water temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, that is, the pool has a person and the pool also has the condition to provide a swimming environment for a human individual, the air conditioner is switched from the standby state to the working state, so that in the process of heat exchange between the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit in the dehumidification mode, the low-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant returned by the air conditioner indoor unit is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant by the air conditioner outdoor unit, and part of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant continues to flow to the air conditioner indoor unit for the next dehumidification cycle, and the other part flows to the heat exchanger in the pool heat accumulator at a first power value to release heat matched with the first power value to the pool water flowing through the pool heat accumulator, thereby increasing the pool water temperature.

[0156] At the same time, according to the pre-set water flow control strategy, the corresponding water pump is sequentially turned on in the specified opening sequence at different time sequences, and is kept in the opened state within the indicated opening duration. In addition, the water pump opened in the current sequence is taken as a target water pump, and when it is started, a water flow matched with a second power value is output in the corresponding pool sub-area at the second power value.

[0160] The first mathematical model is determined according to a negative correlation between the 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:

[0165] Optionally, the pool area is divided into m*n pool sub-areas, and an array of m*n water pumps is correspondingly arranged at the bottom of the pool area.

[0166] Correspondingly, the water flow control strategy comprises:

[0167] determining a plurality of symmetry axes of the pool area with respect to a center of symmetry point, which is a water pump at ((m+1) / 2, (n+1) / 2) in the water pump array;

[0168] controlling the water pumps arranged on each of the symmetry axes to be turned on in a first opening sequence and operated at the second power value within a first opening duration;

[0169] wherein the first opening sequence is determined according to a variation rule of the plurality of symmetry axes around the center of symmetry point; the m and n are positive odd numbers, and the m and n cannot be both 1.

[0170] Optionally, the pool area is divided into m*n pool sub-areas, and an m*n water pump array is arranged at a corresponding position at the bottom of the pool area;

[0171] Correspondingly, the water flow control strategy comprises:

[0172] controlling the water pump array to periodically alternate operation according to a second opening sequence and a third opening sequence within a second opening duration;

[0173] wherein the second opening sequence is that the water pump array takes a water pump at (1, 1) as a starting point, sequentially reaches a water pump at (1, n) along a horizontal direction, then sequentially reaches a water pump at (m, 1) along a diagonal direction, and finally sequentially reaches a water pump at (m, n) along the horizontal direction; the third opening sequence is that the water pump array takes a water pump at (m, 1) as a starting point, sequentially reaches a water pump at (1, 1) along the horizontal direction, then sequentially reaches a water pump at (m, n) along the diagonal direction, and finally sequentially reaches a water pump at (1, n) along the horizontal direction; the m and n are positive odd numbers, and the m and n cannot be both 1.

[0174] Optionally, the device further comprises a running termination module, wherein:

[0175] the running termination module is configured to control the air conditioner outdoor unit to stop running the dehumidification mode, and control the pool heat accumulator and all the water pumps to stop running, in a case that the first sensing module determines that there is no human individual in the pool area, or the second sensing module determines that the current pool water temperature is less than a preset threshold.

[0176] The pool-based air conditioner control device provided by the embodiment of the present application is used to execute the pool-based air conditioner control method of the present application, and has the same beneficial effects as the pool-based air conditioner control method of the present application, which will not be repeated here.

[0177] When it is determined that there is at least one human individual in the pool area and the pool water temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the embodiment of the present application decides to make the pool heat accumulator recover the heating capacity output by the air conditioner outdoor unit in the dehumidification mode at the first power value to adjust the pool water temperature, and make the pool heat accumulator control the target water pump to adjust the water flow at the second power value according to the opening sequence and the opening time length. The heat energy of the air conditioner outdoor unit can be fully or partially used for the pool heat accumulator to adjust the pool water temperature, and the actual pool water temperature is used as a basis to adaptively adjust the operating power of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the water pump, improve the control accuracy of the air conditioner, save energy, and optimize the user experience.

[0178] Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of the air conditioner system provided by the present application. Based on any of the above embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 The air conditioner system provided by the embodiment of the present application includes an air conditioner indoor unit 510 in the same indoor space as the pool area, and an air conditioner outdoor unit 520 and a pool heat accumulator 530 arranged in other spaces outside the pool area.

[0179] In the process of heat exchange between the air conditioner indoor unit 510 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 520 in the dehumidification mode, the heating capacity output by the air conditioner outdoor unit 520 is recovered by the heat exchanger in the pool heat accumulator 530.

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

[0181] The air conditioner indoor unit 510 is provided with a first sensing module 511, and the pool area is provided below the water level line of the inner wall with a second sensing module 550. The air conditioner indoor unit is used to execute the program to realize the pool-based air conditioner control method as described in any of the above, to adjust the pool water temperature and the indoor air quality in the pool area.

[0182] Specifically, in the air conditioning system, the temperature and humidity of the space where the pool area is located are adjusted by the air conditioner, and the air conditioner indoor unit 510 in the air conditioner is arranged in the space where the pool area is located to adjust the temperature and humidity of the space where the pool area is located by the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner. And also, the air conditioner outdoor unit 520 in the air conditioner and the pool heat accumulator 530 are communicated by the pipeline, and are jointly arranged in other spaces outside the pool area, so that in the heat exchange process of the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner, the low-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant transmitted by the air conditioner indoor unit 510 is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant by the air conditioner outdoor unit 520, and part of it flows to the heat exchanger arranged in the air conditioner outdoor unit 520 for the next dehumidification cycle, and the other part flows to the heat exchanger in the pool heat accumulator 530 to condense and release heat to the pool water flowing through the pool heat accumulator 530, so that the water temperature of the pool area is maintained at a constant value.

[0183] Among them, a first sensing module 511 is arranged on the air conditioner indoor unit 510, and a second sensing module 550 is arranged below the water level in the 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 electromagnetic waves reflected by the individual (i.e. target individual) on the water surface of the pool area are calculated and analyzed by the radar module 511, and whether there is a human individual on the water surface of the pool is represented by the current position of all human individuals analyzed.

[0184] Further, it is determined that at least one human individual is on the pool water surface, that is, the human individual is currently in the pool, and it is determined that the intention is to adjust the indoor temperature and humidity by activating the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner, but the current pool water temperature needs to be collected by the second sensing module for further judgment and decision on the adjustment of the water temperature.

[0185] If the current pool water temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value, it means that there is a person in the pool and the pool also has the condition to provide a swimming environment for the human individual, so the air conditioner is switched from the standby state to the working state, and in the process of heat exchange of the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit, the low-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant returned by the air conditioner indoor unit is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant by the air conditioner outdoor unit, and part of it continues to flow to the air conditioner indoor unit for the next dehumidification cycle, and the other part flows to the heat exchanger in the pool heat accumulator at a first power value to release heat matched with the first power value to the pool water flowing through the pool heat accumulator, so as to increase the pool water temperature.

[0186] At the same time, the corresponding water pump is sequentially opened in the specified opening order according to the pre-set water flow control strategy at different time sequences, and all remain in the opened state within the indicated opening time. In addition, the water pump opened in the current order is taken as the target water pump, and when it is started, it outputs a water flow matched with the second power value in the corresponding pool sub-area at a second power value.

[0187] The embodiment of the present application determines that there is at least one human individual in the pool area and the pool water temperature is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, and decides to make the pool heat accumulator recover the heating capacity output by the air conditioning outdoor unit in the dehumidification mode under the action of the first power value to adjust the pool water temperature, and make the pool heat accumulator control the target water pump in the second power value according to the opening sequence and the opening time length. The heat energy of the air conditioning outdoor unit can be used entirely or partially for the pool heat accumulator to adjust the pool water temperature, and the actual pool water temperature is used as a basis to adaptively adjust the operating power of the air conditioning outdoor unit and the water pump, improve the control accuracy of the air conditioner, save energy, and optimize the user experience.

[0188] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the pool heat accumulator is communicated with m*n water pumps arranged in the pool area through a shunt pipeline system.

[0189] The shunt pipeline system comprises one converging water inlet and m*n shunt water outlets.

[0190] The water outlet of the pool heat accumulator is connected with the converging water inlet, and any shunt water outlet is connected with the water inlet of the corresponding water pump.

[0191] It should be noted that the pool heat accumulator internally accommodates a heat exchanger, the refrigerant input port of the heat exchanger is connected with the output end of the compressor of the air conditioning outdoor unit, and the refrigerant output port is connected with the input end of the compressor of the air conditioning outdoor unit. The pool heat accumulator is communicated with the water outlet of the pool through its own water inlet, so that the heat exchanger of the pool heat accumulator acts as a condenser to release heat to the flowing pool water, achieving the purpose of heating the water.

[0192] Specifically, the shunt pipeline system is composed of one converging water inlet connected with the water outlet of the pool heat accumulator, and m*n shunt water outlets corresponding to the water inlets of the m*n water pumps, to form m*n water paths between the pool heat accumulator and the m*n water pumps.

[0193] In the whole control process, the water pumps are sequentially controlled according to the water flow control strategy, so that the m*n water paths in the shunt pipeline system are partially connected at the same time to form water flow corresponding to the pool in the shunt pipeline system, and then periodically operate to accelerate the surge of the pool water flow.

[0194] The embodiment of the present application divides the water body exchanged by the pool heat accumulator into the water pumps at different positions in the pool through the shunt pipeline system, adjusts the shunt pipeline system to be fully connected or partially connected by controlling the on-off of the water pumps, and simultaneously delivers the water body exchanged by the water paths to multiple pool partitions. The pipeline layout can be as few as possible, the path formation can be maximized, the control efficiency of the pipeline switching can be improved, and the cost can be reduced.
