[0044] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0045] The aldehyde removal control method provided by the embodiment of the application is applied to an air conditioner 10. Figure 1 The air conditioner 10 is in communication connection with a control equipment 20, when a user is indoors, the air conditioner 10 can be controlled by the control equipment 20 to perform strong aldehyde removal, when the user needs to go out or is already outdoors, the air conditioner 10 can be controlled by the control equipment 20 to perform baking room aldehyde removal, so that the aldehyde removal can be performed by the user indoors and the aldehyde removal can be performed by the user outdoors, and the aldehyde removal efficiency is improved.

[0046] The strong de-aldehyde refers to: when the user has a higher de-aldehyde requirement, the air flow rate through the de-aldehyde base material arranged in the indoor unit of the air conditioner 10 is increased by automatically adjusting the air deflector of the air conditioner 10 to the strong air deflector, so as to improve the de-aldehyde efficiency.

[0047] The room heating de-aldehyde refers to: when the user needs to go out or is already outdoors, the air conditioner 10 is controlled to heat the room, and when the temperature is high, the release of formaldehyde is accelerated, and the formaldehyde adsorbed and decomposed by the corresponding de-aldehyde base material is also more, so that the de-aldehyde can be carried out during the time when the user is outdoors. At the same time, when the room is heated for de-aldehyde, the air conditioner 10 can also automatically adjust the operation mode according to the initial indoor temperature, so as to improve the de-aldehyde efficiency while saving energy.

[0048] The control device 20 can be a remote controller, which controls the air conditioner 10 through wireless technology such as infrared or radio frequency. When the user is indoors, the air conditioner 10 can be controlled by the remote controller for strong de-aldehyde, and when the user needs to go out, the air conditioner 10 can be controlled by the remote controller for room heating de-aldehyde.

[0049] The control device 20 can also be a wired controller, which is connected to the air conditioner 10 through a cable and can control the air conditioner 10. When the user is indoors, the air conditioner 10 can be controlled by the wired controller for strong de-aldehyde, and when the user needs to go out, the air conditioner 10 can be controlled by the wired controller for room heating de-aldehyde.

[0050] The control device 20 can also be a mobile terminal, which is communicatively connected to the air conditioner 10 through a network, and the mobile terminal is installed with an application program (APP) for controlling the air conditioner 10. When the user is indoors, the air conditioner 10 can be controlled by the APP for strong de-aldehyde, and when the user needs to go out or is already outdoors, the air conditioner 10 can be controlled by the APP for room heating de-aldehyde. The mobile terminal can be, but is not limited to, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, a wearable smart device (for example, a bracelet, a smart watch) and the like.

[0051] The air conditioner 10 in the embodiment can be an air conditioner with a de-aldehyde function, for example, a multi-split unit, a variable frequency air conditioner, a fixed frequency air conditioner, a heat pump type air conditioner and the like provided with a de-aldehyde base material in the indoor unit, and the embodiment does not make any limitation thereto. The de-aldehyde base material can reduce or remove harmful substances such as formaldehyde in the air, which can include manganese dioxide, activated carbon, photocatalyst material and the like.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart of a de-aldehyde control method provided by the application is shown, which can include the following steps:

[0053] S101, when receiving the baking room instruction sent by the control device, starting the air conditioner, and controlling the air conditioner to bake and remove formaldehyde according to the initial indoor temperature.

[0054] S103, if receiving the exit baking room instruction sent by the control device within the set baking room duration, controlling the air conditioner to exit baking and remove formaldehyde and shut down.

[0055] S104, if not receiving the exit baking room instruction sent by the control device within the set baking room duration, after the set baking room duration arrives, controlling the air conditioner to exit baking and remove formaldehyde and shut down.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the user needs to go out or has been outdoors, the time when the user is outdoors can be used to bake and remove formaldehyde in the room. The set baking room duration can be set by the user according to his own going-out time, for example, X hours.

[0057] When the control device is a remote controller or a line controller, when the user needs to go out, the remote controller or the line controller sends a baking room instruction to the air conditioner 10, the air conditioner 10 automatically starts to bake and remove formaldehyde, the user can set the baking room duration X hours according to his own going-out time, if the user returns to the room within X hours, the remote controller or the line controller sends an exit baking room instruction to the air conditioner 10, the air conditioner 10 automatically exits baking and removes formaldehyde and automatically shuts down, otherwise, after X hours, the air conditioner 10 automatically exits baking and removes formaldehyde and automatically shuts down.

[0058] Optionally, the remote controller or the line controller can be provided with a one-key baking room key, when the user presses the one-key baking room key, a baking room instruction can be sent to the air conditioner 10, when the user presses the one-key baking room key again, an exit baking room instruction can be sent to the air conditioner 10.

[0059] When the control device is a mobile terminal, when the user needs to go out or has been outdoors, the APP sends a baking room instruction to the air conditioner 10, the air conditioner 10 automatically starts to bake and remove formaldehyde, the user can set the baking room duration X hours according to his own going-out time, if the user returns to the room within X hours or has other needs, the APP sends an exit baking room instruction to the air conditioner 10, the air conditioner 10 automatically exits baking and removes formaldehyde and automatically shuts down, otherwise, after X hours, the air conditioner 10 automatically exits baking and removes formaldehyde and automatically shuts down.

[0060] In this embodiment, in the baking and formaldehyde removal process, the air conditioner 10 can automatically adjust the operation mode according to different initial indoor temperatures, thereby saving energy. Therefore, the process of controlling the air conditioner to bake and remove formaldehyde according to the initial indoor temperature in step S101 can include sub-steps S1011-S1012.

[0061] S1011, if the initial indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature, the air conditioner is set to the ventilation mode.

[0062] S1012, if the initial indoor temperature is less than the set temperature, the air conditioner is set to the heating mode and runs at the set temperature and the powerful wind gear.

[0063] In this embodiment, the set temperature can be a temperature that can promote the accelerated release of formaldehyde, for example, 30°C. If the initial indoor temperature is high, for example, ≥ 30°C, because the indoor temperature is high, the release of formaldehyde is more, the air conditioner 10 automatically starts the ventilation mode, increases the air flow rate through the formaldehyde removal substrate for efficient formaldehyde removal, which not only saves electricity, but also efficiently removes formaldehyde. If the initial indoor temperature is low, for example, less than 30°C, because the indoor temperature is low, the release of formaldehyde is less, the air conditioner 10 automatically starts the heating mode, the heating temperature is set to 30°C, the room is heated to accelerate the release of formaldehyde, and the wind gear is automatically adjusted to the powerful wind gear, which not only accelerates the room temperature rise, but also increases the air flow rate through the formaldehyde removal substrate to accelerate the formaldehyde removal efficiency.

[0064] The process of controlling the air conditioner 10 through the APP to bake the room and remove formaldehyde when the control device is a mobile terminal will be described in detail below.

[0065] When the control device is a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal is installed with an APP for controlling the air conditioner 10, the initial interface of the APP is as shown in Figure 3 The baking instruction can be generated by the user triggering a one-key baking control in the initial interface. After the user triggers the one-key baking control in the initial interface, the APP switches from the initial interface to the baking formaldehyde removal interface as shown in Figure 4 The exit baking instruction can be generated by the user triggering the end control in the baking formaldehyde removal interface.

[0066] That is, taking the user has been outside as an example, the user can open the APP, at this time the APP displays the initial interface as shown in Figure 3 The user can set the baking time to X hours according to the user's own time outside, and click the "one-key baking" control, the air conditioner 10 automatically starts, the APP switches from the initial interface to the baking formaldehyde removal interface as shown in Figure 4 At this time, the temperature sensor on the indoor unit of the air conditioner 10 will collect the room temperature and display it on the APP, which is the initial indoor temperature, the air conditioner 10 can enter different running modes according to the initial indoor temperature: ventilation mode or heating mode, and display on the APP, so that the user can understand the running status of the air conditioner 10 through the APP although he is outside.

[0067] At the same time, in addition to displaying the room temperature and the operation mode of the air conditioner 10, the APP also displays the progress of the baking de-aldehyde process according to the baking time set by the user during the baking de-aldehyde process. Therefore, please refer to Figure 5 After step S101, the de-aldehyde control method provided by the present application further includes step S102.

[0068] S102, during the baking de-aldehyde process of the air conditioner, the operation mode of the air conditioner and the real-time progress of the baking de-aldehyde process are displayed through the baking de-aldehyde interface of the mobile terminal.

[0069] As shown in Figure 4 , a circular countdown icon can be set, the upper part is marked as “baking de-aldehyde progress”, the middle part indicates X-hour countdown of the baking de-aldehyde process, the surrounding lights gradually fade out with time, and the lower part has an “end control”. If the user returns to the indoor or has other needs within X hours, the “end” control is clicked, and the air conditioner 10 will automatically exit the baking de-aldehyde process and automatically shut down.

[0070] The above describes the process of using the time when the user is outdoors to perform the baking de-aldehyde process on the room when the user needs to go out or is already outdoors. The following describes in detail the process of performing the strong de-aldehyde process on the room by the air conditioner 10 when the user is indoors and has a high de-aldehyde demand.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 6 , the de-aldehyde control method provided by the present application further includes steps S105-S107.

[0072] S105, during the operation of the air conditioner in the normal de-aldehyde mode, when the strong de-aldehyde instruction sent by the control device is received, the air conditioner is switched to the strong de-aldehyde mode, and the air outlet damper is adjusted from the initial air outlet damper to the strong air outlet damper.

[0073] S106, if the exit strong de-aldehyde instruction sent by the control device is received within the preset time, the air conditioner is switched back to the normal de-aldehyde mode, and the air outlet damper is adjusted from the strong air outlet damper to the initial air outlet damper.

[0074] S107, if the exit strong de-aldehyde instruction sent by the control device is not received within the preset time, after the preset time arrives, the air conditioner is switched back to the normal de-aldehyde mode, and the air outlet damper is adjusted from the strong air outlet damper to the initial air outlet damper.

[0075] In this embodiment, the preset time can be the strong de-aldehyde time set by the user according to his own needs, or the strong de-aldehyde time set by the air conditioner 10 when it is shipped, for example, 1 hour, which is not limited here.

[0076] The normal formaldehyde removal mode can be a mode in which the air conditioner 10 operates and air flows, for example, a cooling mode, a heating mode, and the like. That is, as long as air flows, the air conditioner 10 performs normal formaldehyde removal regardless of the operation mode (e.g., cooling, heating, and the like).

[0077] When the control device is a remote controller or a wire controller, if the user is indoors and has a stronger formaldehyde removal demand, the remote controller or the wire controller can send a strong formaldehyde removal instruction to the air conditioner 10, at which time the air conditioner 10 enters a strong formaldehyde removal mode, the air damper is automatically changed to a strong air damper, and the air flow rate through the formaldehyde removal base material is increased. If there is no external interference within a preset time period (e.g., 1 h), the air conditioner 10 automatically exits the strong formaldehyde removal mode after 1 h, the air damper is automatically adjusted to the air damper before the strong formaldehyde removal, and the air conditioner 10 continues normal formaldehyde removal. If the user needs to exit the strong formaldehyde removal mode within the preset time period (e.g., 1 h), the remote controller or the wire controller can send an exit strong formaldehyde removal instruction to the air conditioner 10, the air conditioner 10 automatically exits the strong formaldehyde removal mode, the air damper is automatically adjusted to the air damper before the strong formaldehyde removal, and the air conditioner 10 continues normal formaldehyde removal.

[0078] Optionally, the remote controller or the wire controller can be provided with a strong formaldehyde removal key. When the user presses the strong formaldehyde removal key, a strong formaldehyde removal instruction can be sent to the air conditioner 10. When the user presses the strong formaldehyde removal key again, an exit strong formaldehyde removal instruction can be sent to the air conditioner 10.

[0079] When the control device is a mobile terminal, if the user is indoors and has a stronger formaldehyde removal demand, the APP can send a strong formaldehyde removal instruction to the air conditioner 10, at which time the air conditioner 10 enters a strong formaldehyde removal mode, the air damper is automatically changed to a strong air damper, and the air flow rate through the formaldehyde removal base material is increased. If there is no external interference within a preset time period (e.g., 1 h), the air conditioner 10 automatically exits the strong formaldehyde removal mode after 1 h, the air damper is automatically adjusted to the air damper before the strong formaldehyde removal, and the air conditioner 10 continues normal formaldehyde removal. If the user needs to exit the strong formaldehyde removal mode within the preset time period (e.g., 1 h), the APP can send an exit strong formaldehyde removal instruction to the air conditioner 10, the air conditioner 10 automatically exits the strong formaldehyde removal mode, the air damper is automatically adjusted to the air damper before the strong formaldehyde removal, and the air conditioner 10 continues normal formaldehyde removal.

[0080] The strong formaldehyde removal instruction can be generated by the user triggering Figure 3 the strong formaldehyde removal control in the initial interface. After the user triggers the strong formaldehyde removal control in the initial interface, the APP switches from the initial interface to Figure 7 the strong formaldehyde removal interface shown in FIG. 8B, and the exit strong formaldehyde removal instruction is generated by the user triggering the end control in the strong formaldehyde removal interface.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 8A, Figure 7As shown, a circular countdown icon can be set, the upper label is "strong aldehyde removal progress", the middle represents the 1h countdown of strong aldehyde removal, the surrounding lights gradually fade out with time, and the lower has an "end control". If the user needs to exit the strong aldehyde removal mode within 1h, click the "end" control, and the air conditioner 10 will automatically exit the strong aldehyde removal mode, the air dam is automatically adjusted to the air dam before the strong aldehyde removal, and the air conditioner 10 continues the normal aldehyde removal.

[0082] At the same time, in order to make the user's perception stronger, a health icon (for example, an indicator light) can be set on the air conditioner 10, which is used to indicate the current aldehyde removal state of the air conditioner 10 through different colors, that is, the switching of the normal aldehyde removal mode and the strong aldehyde removal mode is represented by the color change of the health icon. Therefore, in the prior art, Figure 6 On the basis of the prior art, the aldehyde removal control method provided by the application further comprises the following steps:

[0083] When the air conditioner operates in the normal aldehyde removal mode, the health icon displays a first color;

[0084] When the air conditioner switches to the strong aldehyde removal mode, the health icon switches to display a second color;

[0085] When the air conditioner switches back to the normal aldehyde removal mode, the health icon restores to display the first color.

[0086] Optionally, the first color can be green, and the second color can be blue. That is, when the air conditioner 10 performs normal aldehyde removal, the health icon on the panel of the air conditioner 10 displays green; when the air conditioner 10 switches to the strong aldehyde removal mode, the health icon changes from green to blue, and the user's perception is stronger; when the air conditioner 10 switches back to the normal aldehyde removal mode, the health icon changes from blue to the original green.

[0087] Compared with the prior art, the aldehyde removal control method provided by the application has the following advantages:

[0088] Firstly, when the user is indoors and has stronger aldehyde removal needs, the strong aldehyde removal can be selected, and when the user needs to go out or is already outdoors, the room drying aldehyde removal can be selected, so that different aldehyde removals can be performed according to different needs of the user, the aldehyde removal can be performed both when the user is indoors and when the user is outdoors, and the aldehyde removal efficiency is improved.

[0089] Secondly, in the room drying aldehyde removal, the operation mode can be automatically adjusted according to different initial indoor temperatures, the air flow rate through the aldehyde removal substrate is increased, and the aldehyde removal efficiency is accelerated.

[0090] Thirdly, when the normal aldehyde removal mode and the strong aldehyde removal mode are switched, the color of the health icon automatically changes accordingly, and the user's perception is stronger.

[0091] In order to perform the corresponding steps in the above-mentioned embodiments and various possible implementations, an implementation of the aldehyde removal control device is given below.
