[0002] Currently, to improve the speed of indoor temperature adjustment, such as increasing the speed of temperature increase in air conditioning heating mode and increasing the speed of temperature decrease in air conditioning cooling mode, the indoor temperature can be divided into several zones, and the temperature of different zones can be detected. If the temperature difference between different zones is greater than or equal to the preset temperature difference, the air supply mode of each zone can be determined based on the temperature of each zone, so that the temperature in the room can be quickly and evenly distributed to reach the user's set temperature, thereby improving air supply comfort and user experience.

When the indoor temperature is about to reach or has already reached the set temperature, the temperature difference between different areas is not obvious. Existing technology makes it difficult to accurately determine the area that needs airflow, and thus it is difficult to maintain the indoor temperature at the set temperature.

[0024] In some embodiments, the air supply device of the air conditioner includes a first obtaining module, a second obtaining module, and a first control module.

[0025] The first acquisition module is used to acquire the first temperature of each temperature detection point in the first air zone, which is distributed in latitude and longitude, and the second temperature of each temperature detection point in the second air zone, which is distributed in latitude and longitude, while maintaining a constant indoor temperature and the air conditioner is in cooling operation. The positions of each temperature detection point in the first air zone and the positions of each temperature detection point in the second air zone are in a corresponding relationship. The distances between multiple temperature detection points on the same longitude and the air conditioner are from near to far, and the distances between multiple temperature detection points on the same latitude and the air conditioner are considered to be the same.

[0026] The second acquisition module is used to acquire the first average temperature of the first temperature of multiple temperature detection points on each meridian of the first wind zone, and the second average temperature of the second temperature of multiple temperature detection points on each meridian of the second wind zone; the position of each meridian of the first wind zone and the position of each meridian of the second wind zone have a corresponding relationship.

[0027] The first control module is configured to control the air conditioning to supply air volume to the first air zone to be greater than the air volume to the second air zone if the first temperature of at least a first set number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first air zone is greater than the second temperature of the corresponding temperature detection point in the second air zone, and the first average temperature corresponding to at least a second set number of meridians in the first air zone is greater than the second average temperature corresponding to the corresponding meridian in the second air zone; wherein the first set number is greater than half of the total number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first air zone, and the second set number is greater than half of the total number of meridians in the first air zone.

[0028] Optionally, the air supply device of the air conditioner includes a third obtaining module, a fourth obtaining module, and a second control module.

[0029] The third acquisition module is used to acquire the first temperature of each temperature detection point in the first air zone, which is distributed in latitude and longitude, and the second temperature of each temperature detection point in the second air zone, which is distributed in latitude and longitude, while maintaining a constant indoor temperature and the air conditioner is in heating mode. The positions of each temperature detection point in the first air zone and the positions of each temperature detection point in the second air zone are in a corresponding relationship. The distances between multiple temperature detection points on the same longitude and the air conditioner are from near to far, and the distances between multiple temperature detection points on the same latitude and the air conditioner are considered to be the same.

[0030] The fourth acquisition module is used to acquire the first average temperature of the first temperature at multiple temperature detection points on each meridian of the first wind zone, and the second average temperature of the second temperature at multiple temperature detection points on each meridian of the second wind zone; the position of each meridian in the first wind zone corresponds to the position of each meridian in the second wind zone.

[0031] The second control module is configured to control the air conditioning to supply more air to the first air zone than to the second air zone if the first temperature of at least a first set number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first air zone is less than the second temperature of the corresponding temperature detection point in the second air zone, and the first average temperature corresponding to at least a second set number of meridians in the first air zone is less than the second average temperature corresponding to the corresponding meridian in the second air zone; wherein the first set number is greater than half of the total number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first air zone, and the second set number is greater than half of the total number of meridians in the first air zone.

[0032] In some embodiments, the smart air conditioner includes the air supply device of the air conditioner provided in the foregoing embodiments.

[0033] The air supply method, device, and intelligent air conditioner provided in this application embodiment can achieve the following technical effects:

[0034] In maintaining a constant indoor temperature, based on dividing the indoor area into a first air zone and a second air zone, if the first temperature of at least a first predetermined number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first air zone is greater than the second temperature of the corresponding temperature detection points in the second air zone, it indicates that the first air zone requires more cooling / heating than the second air zone in the meridian direction. If the first average temperature corresponding to at least a second predetermined number of meridians in the first air zone is greater than the second average temperature corresponding to the corresponding meridian in the second air zone, it indicates that the first air zone requires more cooling / heating than the second air zone in the latitudinal direction. If the evaluation results in both the meridian and latitudinal directions show that the first air zone requires more cooling / heating than the second air zone, it indicates that the first air zone as a whole requires more cooling / heating. In this case, the airflow from the air conditioner to the first air zone is controlled to be greater than the airflow to the second air zone. Specifically, the first predetermined number is greater than half the total number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first air zone, and the second predetermined number is greater than half the total number of meridians in the first air zone.

[0035] Furthermore, comparing the relative cooling / heating demands of the first and second wind zones along the meridian direction by using the number of temperature monitoring points can represent the relative cooling / heating demands of the first and second wind zones over most areas, but it overlooks some extreme temperatures. Areas with extreme temperatures in an indoor space are prone to heat exchange with other areas, leading to rapid changes in these extreme temperatures. Along the parallel direction, comparing the relative cooling / heating demands of the first and second wind zones by using the average temperature of all temperature monitoring points along the meridian direction completes the comparison along the parallel direction. The assessment of the relative cooling / heating demand of the first and second wind zones in terms of direction is conducted by calculating the average temperature of all temperature monitoring points along the meridian. This treats all temperature monitoring points along the meridian as a whole and assesses the relative cooling / heating demand of the first and second wind zones along a meridian as a whole. This can compensate for the influence of extreme temperatures on indoor temperature that is ignored when assessing the relative cooling / heating demand of the first and second wind zones by the number of temperature monitoring points, making the final assessment of the relative cooling / heating demand of the first and second wind zones more accurate.

[0036] Through the above-described mechanism, the technical solution provided in this application embodiment can accurately determine the relative demand for cooling / heating in two air zones, and then control the air conditioning to maintain the indoor temperature at the set temperature.

[0047] To provide a more detailed understanding of the features and technical content of the embodiments of this application, the implementation of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. In the following technical description, for ease of explanation, several details are used to provide a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, one or more embodiments may still be implemented without these details. In other cases, well-known structures and devices may be simplified in their depiction to simplify the drawings.

[0048] The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0049] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0050] In this embodiment, the character " / " indicates that the objects before and after it are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B means: A or B.

[0051] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0052] Figure 1a This is a schematic diagram illustrating an implementation scenario of an air supply method for an air conditioner provided in this application.

[0053] Air conditioner 10 is placed in the corner of the room, and the air supply angle of air conditioner 10 can cover the entire area, most areas, or user activity area of ​​the room.

[0054] The above-described placement of the air conditioner 10 in a corner of the room is merely an illustrative example. In specific application scenarios, those skilled in the art can determine the placement of the air conditioner 10 in the room based on the actual situation.

[0055] Figure 1b This is a schematic diagram of the area division of an air supply method for an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0056] Centered on the center line Cen of the air supply angle range of air conditioner 10, the indoor area is divided into left wind zone WL and right wind zone WR.

[0057] The left wind zone (WL) has three meridians radiating outward from the air conditioner: Wa, Wb, and Wc. The right wind zone (WR) has three meridians radiating outward from the air conditioner: WA, WB, and WC. There are five parallels of latitude surrounding the air conditioner: P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5.

[0058] Temperature detection points are located at the intersections of meridians and parallels.

[0059] The temperature detection points on meridian Wa are a1, a2, a3, a4 and a5;

[0060] The temperature detection points on meridian Wb are b1, b2, b3, b4 and b5;

[0061] The temperature detection points on meridian Wc are: c1, c2, c3, c4 and c5;

[0062] The temperature detection points on meridian WA are A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5;

[0063] The temperature detection points on meridian WB are: B1, B2, B3, B4, and B5.

[0064] The temperature detection points on meridian WC are C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5.

[0065] The above division of the indoor area into two wind zones, left and right, using the center line is merely an illustrative example. In actual applications, technicians may divide the indoor area into three, four, or more wind zones.

[0066] The three meridians in the left wind zone mentioned above are merely illustrative examples. In actual applications, those skilled in the art may also set four, five, or more meridians in the left wind zone.

[0067] The three meridians in the right wind zone mentioned above are merely illustrative examples. In practical applications, those skilled in the art may also set four, five, or more meridians in the right wind zone.

[0068] The above five latitude lines are merely illustrative examples. In actual application scenarios, those skilled in the art may also set three, four, six or more latitude lines.

[0069] The placement of temperature detection points at the intersections of meridians and parallels of latitude is merely an illustrative example. In practical applications, temperature detection points can be accurately located at the intersections of meridians and parallels of latitude, or they can be placed around the intersections of meridians and parallels of latitude, so that the distribution of temperature detection points presents an overall pattern similar to a meridian-latitude distribution.

[0070] In the application scenario of the air conditioning air supply method provided in this application embodiment, the number of meridians in each wind zone is usually less than or equal to the number of parallels. Of course, the air conditioning air supply method provided in this application embodiment is also applicable when the number of meridians in each wind zone is greater than the number of parallels.

[0071] This technical solution is based on comparing the relative demand for cooling / heating in two air zones along the meridian and parallel directions, respectively. By combining the interaction between the number of temperature detection points representing the majority of the area and the average temperature along the meridian representing the overall temperature, the relative demand for cooling / heating in the two air zones can be accurately determined. This allows the air conditioner to be controlled to deliver air to the air zones in order to maintain the indoor temperature at the set temperature.

[0072] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating an air supply method for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of this application. This air supply method can be executed in the air conditioner's controller.

[0073] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the air supply methods of air conditioners include:

[0074] S201. While maintaining a constant indoor temperature and with the air conditioner in cooling operation, obtain the first temperature of each temperature detection point in the first air zone that is distributed latitude and longitude, and the second temperature of each temperature detection point in the second air zone that is distributed latitude and longitude.

[0075] The process of an air conditioner adjusting indoor temperature includes an adjustment process and a maintenance process. The adjustment process refers to adjusting the indoor temperature to near the set temperature, while the maintenance process refers to maintaining the indoor temperature near the set temperature.

[0076] Adjusting the indoor temperature to near the set temperature means that the absolute value of the indoor temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature. This set temperature difference refers to a temperature difference that can be ignored. The higher the required temperature adjustment accuracy of the air conditioner, the larger this set temperature difference; the lower the required temperature adjustment accuracy of the air conditioner, the smaller this set temperature difference.

[0077] During the adjustment process, the air conditioner operates in cooling mode when the indoor temperature is higher than the set temperature, and in heating mode when the indoor temperature is lower than the set temperature. This embodiment only illustrates the cooling operation of the air conditioner; the heating operation will be illustrated in subsequent embodiments.

[0078] During the maintenance process, the indoor temperature fluctuates around the set temperature. There are situations where the indoor temperature is higher than the set temperature, equal to the set temperature, or lower than the set temperature.

[0079] The application scenario of this application embodiment can be the first time the air supply method of the air conditioner is executed when switching from the adjustment process to the maintenance process; or it can be that the air supply method of the air conditioner has been executed once or multiple times in the maintenance process, and the air supply method of the air conditioner is executed again at the current moment.

[0080] That is, maintaining a constant indoor temperature can include situations where the absolute value of the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature changes from being greater than the set temperature difference to being less than or equal to the set temperature difference.

[0081] Alternatively, maintaining a constant indoor temperature may include situations where the absolute value of the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature difference, and the air volume supplied by the air conditioner to the second air zone is greater than the air volume supplied to the first air zone.

[0082] The locations of each temperature monitoring point in the first wind zone and each temperature monitoring point in the second wind zone correspond to each other. The distances between multiple temperature monitoring points on the same meridian and the air conditioner are arranged from closest to farthest. The distances between multiple temperature monitoring points on the same latitude and the air conditioner are considered to be the same.

[0083] The distance between multiple temperature detection points and the air conditioner is considered to be the same. This means that there may be distance differences between different temperature detection points and the air conditioner. Compared with the actual distance between the temperature detection points and the air conditioner, this distance difference can be ignored. For example, the distance difference between two temperature detection points and the air conditioner is less than or equal to 1 / 5 of the distance between the temperature detection point closest to the air conditioner and the air conditioner.

[0084] The distance difference between different temperature monitoring points on the same latitude and the air conditioner is related to the accuracy of indoor temperature adjustment. The higher the accuracy of indoor temperature adjustment, the smaller the distance difference between the two temperature monitoring points on the same latitude and the air conditioner needs to be.

[0085] That is, the distance between multiple temperature detection points and the air conditioner is considered to be the same. It can also mean that after the accuracy of the indoor temperature adjustment is determined, the distance difference between multiple temperature detection points and the air conditioner will not reduce the already determined accuracy.

[0086] Temperature detection points in the first and second wind zones can be as follows: Figure 1b The pattern shown is a latitude and longitude distribution.

[0087] The first wind zone can be Figure 1b If the left wind zone is WL, then the second wind zone is... Figure 1b The right wind zone LR; the first wind zone can be Figure 1b If the right wind zone is WR, then the second wind zone is... Figure 1b The left wind zone WL in the middle.

[0088] The first temperature of each temperature detection point in the first wind zone and the second temperature of each temperature detection point in the second wind zone can be obtained by a temperature sensor; the first temperature of each temperature detection point in the first wind zone and the second temperature of each temperature detection point in the second wind zone can also be obtained by thermal imaging technology; or, the first temperature of each temperature detection point in the first wind zone and the second temperature of each temperature detection point in the second wind zone can also be obtained by infrared thermometry technology.

[0089] S202. Obtain the first average temperature of the first temperature at multiple temperature detection points on each meridian of the first wind zone, and the second average temperature of the second temperature at multiple temperature detection points on each meridian of the second wind zone.

[0090] The positions of each meridian in the first wind zone correspond to the positions of each meridian in the second wind zone.

[0091] S203. If the first temperature of at least a first set number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first air zone is greater than the second temperature of the corresponding temperature detection point of the second air zone, and the first average temperature corresponding to at least a second set number of meridians in the first air zone is greater than the second average temperature corresponding to the corresponding meridian of the second air zone, then the air volume supplied by the air conditioner to the first air zone is controlled to be greater than the air volume supplied to the second air zone.

[0092] The first set number is greater than half the total number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first wind zone, and the second set number is greater than half the total number of meridians in the first wind zone.

[0093] For example, if the total number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first wind zone is 3, the first set number can be 2; if the total number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first wind zone is 5, the first set number can be 3.

[0094] When the total number of meridians in the first wind zone is 3, the second set number can be 2; when the total number of meridians in the first wind zone is 5, the second set number can be 3.

[0095] The corresponding temperature detection point in the second wind zone refers to the temperature detection point that corresponds to the temperature detection point in the first wind zone in terms of location.

[0096] For example, if a first temperature is obtained at a first temperature detection point on the first meridian of the first wind zone, and a second temperature is obtained at a second temperature detection point on the second meridian of the second wind zone, and the first temperature is greater than the second temperature, then the number of temperature detection points on the first meridian of the first wind zone whose first temperature is greater than the second temperature is incremented by 1; the first meridian is any meridian of the first wind zone, the first temperature detection point is any temperature detection point of the first wind zone, the first meridian and the second meridian have a corresponding relationship in position, and the first temperature detection point and the second temperature detection point have a corresponding relationship in position.

[0097] The meridian corresponding to the second wind zone refers to the meridian that has a positional correspondence with the meridian of the first wind zone.

[0098] For example, if the first average temperature corresponding to the first meridian of the first wind zone is greater than the second average temperature corresponding to the second meridian of the second wind zone, then the number of meridians in the first wind zone whose first average temperature is greater than the second average temperature is incremented by 1; where the first meridian is any meridian in the first wind zone, and the first meridian and the second meridian have a corresponding relationship in position.

[0099] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating an air supply method for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of this application. This air supply method can be executed in the air conditioner's controller.

[0100] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the air supply methods of air conditioners include:

[0101] S301. While maintaining a constant indoor temperature and with the air conditioner in heating mode, obtain the first temperature of each temperature detection point in the first air zone that is distributed latitude and longitude, and the second temperature of each temperature detection point in the second air zone that is distributed latitude and longitude.

[0102] The locations of each temperature monitoring point in the first wind zone and each temperature monitoring point in the second wind zone correspond to each other. The distances between multiple temperature monitoring points on the same meridian and the air conditioner are arranged from closest to farthest. The distances between multiple temperature monitoring points on the same latitude and the air conditioner are considered to be the same.

[0103] S302. Obtain the first average temperature of the first temperature at multiple temperature detection points on each meridian of the first wind zone, and the second average temperature of the second temperature at multiple temperature detection points on each meridian of the second wind zone.

[0104] The positions of each meridian in the first wind zone correspond to the positions of each meridian in the second wind zone.

[0105] S303. If the first temperature of at least a first set number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first air zone is less than the second temperature of the corresponding temperature detection point of the second air zone, and the first average temperature corresponding to at least a second set number of meridians in the first air zone is less than the second average temperature corresponding to the corresponding meridian of the second air zone, then the air volume supplied by the air conditioner to the first air zone is controlled to be greater than the air volume supplied to the second air zone.

[0106] The first set number is greater than half the total number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first wind zone, and the second set number is greater than half the total number of meridians of the first wind zone.

[0107] For example, if the total number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first wind zone is 3, the first set number can be 2; if the total number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first wind zone is 5, the first set number can be 3.

[0108] When the total number of meridians in the first wind zone is 3, the second set number can be 2; when the total number of meridians in the first wind zone is 5, the second set number can be 3.

[0109] Combined again Figure 1b The above switching conditions will be illustrated by example. Figure 1b As shown, a1 corresponds to A1, a2 corresponds to A2, a3 corresponds to A3, a4 corresponds to A4, and a5 corresponds to A5; b1 corresponds to B1, b2 corresponds to B2, b3 corresponds to B3, b4 corresponds to B4, and b5 corresponds to B5; c1 corresponds to C1, c2 corresponds to C2, c3 corresponds to C3, c4 corresponds to C4, and c5 corresponds to C5; Wa corresponds to WA, Wb corresponds to WB, and Wc corresponds to WC.

[0110] Five first temperatures were obtained from a1 to a5, and five second temperatures were obtained from A1 to A5; five first temperatures were obtained from b1 to b5, and five second temperatures were obtained from B1 to B5; five first temperatures were obtained from c1 to c5, and five second temperatures were obtained from C1 to C5.

[0111] Calculate the first average temperature of the five first temperatures a1 to a5; calculate the first average temperature of the five first temperatures b1 to b5; calculate the first average temperature of the five first temperatures c1 to c5. Calculate the second average temperature of the five second temperatures A1 to A5; calculate the second average temperature of the five second temperatures B1 to B5; calculate the second average temperature of the five second temperatures C1 to C5.

[0112] When the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, if:

[0113] At least three of the following five conditions must be met: the first temperature of a1 is greater than the second temperature of A1, the first temperature of a2 is greater than the second temperature of A2, the first temperature of a3 is greater than the second temperature of A3, the first temperature of a4 is greater than the second temperature of A4, and the first temperature of a5 is greater than the second temperature of A5.

[0114] Furthermore, at least three of the following five conditions must be met: the first temperature of b1 is greater than the second temperature of B1, the first temperature of b2 is greater than the second temperature of B2, the first temperature of b3 is greater than the second temperature of B3, the first temperature of b4 is greater than the second temperature of B4, and the first temperature of b5 is greater than the second temperature of B5.

[0115] Furthermore, at least three of the following five conditions must be met: the first temperature of c1 is greater than the second temperature of C1, the first temperature of c2 is greater than the second temperature of C2, the first temperature of c3 is greater than the second temperature of C3, the first temperature of c4 is greater than the second temperature of C4, and the first temperature of c5 is greater than the second temperature of C5.

[0116] Furthermore, at least two of the following three conditions must be met: the first average temperature of the five first temperatures from a1 to a5 is greater than the second average temperature of the five second temperatures from A1 to A5; the first average temperature of the five first temperatures from b1 to b5 is greater than the second average temperature of the five second temperatures from B1 to B5; and the first average temperature of the five first temperatures from c1 to c5 is greater than the second average temperature of the five second temperatures from C1 to C5.

[0117] Then the air conditioning will be controlled to supply more air to the first air zone than to the second air zone.

[0118] When the air conditioner is in heating mode, if:

[0119] At least three of the following five conditions must be met: the first temperature of a1 is less than the second temperature of A1, the first temperature of a2 is less than the second temperature of A2, the first temperature of a3 is less than the second temperature of A3, the first temperature of a4 is less than the second temperature of A4, and the first temperature of a5 is less than the second temperature of A5.

[0120] Furthermore, at least two of the following three conditions must be met: the first average temperature of the five first temperatures from a1 to a5 is less than the second average temperature of the five second temperatures from A1 to A5; the first average temperature of the five first temperatures from b1 to b5 is less than the second average temperature of the five second temperatures from B1 to B5; and the first average temperature of the five first temperatures from c1 to c5 is less than the second average temperature of the five second temperatures from C1 to C5.

[0121] Then the air conditioning will be controlled to supply more air to the first air zone than to the second air zone.

[0122] While maintaining a constant indoor temperature, the indoor area is divided into a first air zone and a second air zone. If the first temperature at least one set number of temperature detection points along each meridian of the first air zone is greater than the second temperature at the corresponding temperature detection points in the second air zone, it indicates that the first air zone requires more cooling / heating than the second air zone in the meridian direction. If the first average temperature corresponding to at least one set number of meridians in the first air zone is greater than the second average temperature corresponding to the corresponding meridian in the second air zone, it indicates that the first air zone requires more cooling / heating energy than the second air zone in the latitudinal direction. If the judgment results in both the meridian and latitudinal directions are that the first air zone requires more cooling / heating energy than the second air zone, it can be concluded that the first air zone as a whole requires more cooling / heating energy than the second air zone. In this case, the airflow from the air conditioner to the first air zone is controlled to be greater than the airflow to the second air zone.

[0123] Furthermore, comparing the relative cooling / heating demands of the first and second wind zones along the meridian direction by using the number of temperature monitoring points can represent the relative cooling / heating demands of the first and second wind zones over most areas, but it overlooks some extreme temperatures. Areas with extreme temperatures in an indoor space are prone to heat exchange with other areas, leading to rapid changes in these extreme temperatures. Along the parallel direction, comparing the relative cooling / heating demands of the first and second wind zones by using the average temperature of all temperature monitoring points along the meridian direction completes the comparison along the parallel direction. The assessment of the relative cooling / heating demand of the first and second wind zones in terms of direction is conducted by calculating the average temperature of all temperature monitoring points along the meridian. This treats all temperature monitoring points along the meridian as a whole and assesses the relative cooling / heating demand of the first and second wind zones along a meridian as a whole. This can compensate for the influence of extreme temperatures on indoor temperature that is ignored when assessing the relative cooling / heating demand of the first and second wind zones by the number of temperature monitoring points, making the final assessment of the relative cooling / heating demand of the first and second wind zones more accurate.

[0124] Through the above-described mechanism, the technical solution provided in this application embodiment can accurately determine the relative demand for cooling / heating in two air zones and control the air conditioning to maintain the indoor temperature at the set temperature.

[0125] Furthermore, as the air supply method of the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of this application is continuously executed, the air conditioner repeatedly switches between mainly supplying air to the first air zone (the air supply volume to the first air zone is greater than the air supply volume to the second air zone) and mainly supplying air to the second air zone (the air supply volume to the first air zone is less than the air supply volume to the second air zone).

[0126] When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the switching condition for the air conditioner to switch from mainly supplying air to the second air zone to mainly supplying air to the first air zone is as follows: the first temperature of at least a first set number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first air zone is greater than the second temperature of the corresponding temperature detection points in the second air zone, and the first average temperature corresponding to at least a second set number of meridians in the first air zone is greater than the second average temperature corresponding to the corresponding meridian in the second air zone.

[0127] When the air conditioner is in heating mode, the switching condition for the air conditioner to switch from mainly supplying air to the second air zone to mainly supplying air to the first air zone is as follows: the first temperature of at least a first set number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first air zone is lower than the second temperature of the corresponding temperature detection point in the second air zone, and the first average temperature corresponding to at least a second set number of meridians in the first air zone is lower than the second average temperature corresponding to the corresponding meridian in the second air zone.

[0128] The above switching conditions are based on comparing the relative demand for cooling / heating in the first and second wind zones in the meridian and parallel directions, respectively. Then, by considering the interaction between the majority of areas represented by the number of temperature detection points greater than or equal to the first set number, and the overall temperature represented by the average temperature on the meridians greater than or equal to the second set number, it is determined that the first wind zone needs more cooling / heating than the second wind zone.

[0129] In this switching condition, the first set quantity is greater than half the total number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first wind zone, and the second set quantity is greater than half the total number of meridians in the first wind zone, indicating that the majority of the total number of temperature detection points on the meridians and the majority of the total number of meridians are present. In the reverse switching (from mainly supplying air to the first wind zone to mainly supplying air to the second wind zone), correspondingly, it is necessary to ensure that the first set quantity is greater than half the total number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the second wind zone, and the second set quantity is greater than half the total number of meridians in the second wind zone, indicating that the majority of the total number of temperature detection points on the meridians and the majority of the total number of meridians are present.

[0130] The first and second preset quantities can provide a certain margin for temperature changes in the first air zone during the period from when the system switches to primarily supplying air to the first air zone until it switches back to primarily supplying air to the second air zone, thereby reducing the phenomenon of repeated switching of the air supply mode of the air conditioner.

[0131] Optionally, the location of the temperature detection point in the first air zone and the location of the temperature detection point in the second air zone are symmetrically set with respect to the center line of the air conditioning supply angle range.

[0132] In this case, determining that the first temperature of at least a first predetermined number of temperature detection points on each meridian of the first wind zone is greater than the second temperature of the corresponding temperature detection point in the second wind zone may include: obtaining the first temperature of the first temperature detection point on the first meridian of the first wind zone; obtaining the second temperature of the second temperature detection point in the second wind zone, wherein the second temperature detection point and the first temperature detection point are symmetrical about the center line; if the first temperature of the first temperature detection point is greater than the second temperature of the second detection point, then the number of temperature detection points on the first meridian of the first wind zone whose first temperature is greater than the second temperature is incremented by 1; wherein the first meridian is any meridian of the first wind zone; and the first temperature detection point is any temperature detection point in the first meridian.

[0133] The determination that at least a second set number of meridians in the first wind zone have a first average temperature greater than the second average temperature corresponding to the meridians in the second wind zone may include: if the first average temperature corresponding to the first meridian in the first wind zone is greater than the second average temperature corresponding to the second meridian in the second wind zone, then the number of meridians in the first wind zone with a first average temperature greater than the second average temperature is incremented by 1; wherein, the first meridian is any meridian in the first wind zone, and the first meridian and the second meridian are symmetrical with respect to the center line.

[0134] There is heat exchange at the adjacent locations of the first and second wind zones. The temperature of the temperature detection point in the first wind zone that is adjacent to the second wind zone is easily affected by the temperature of the temperature detection point in the second wind zone that is adjacent to the first wind zone.

[0135] Compared to translational or rotational correspondence, the temperature detection points of the first and second air zones are symmetrical with respect to the center line. The heat exchange at the adjacent positions of the first and second air zones has less impact on the judgment results, making the relative demand for cooling / heating in the first and second air zones more accurate. This allows for more accurate control of the air conditioning supply and maintenance of the indoor temperature at the set temperature.

[0136] Optionally, a blank area is set at the center line that does not belong to either the first or second air zone. This increases the distance between adjacent temperature detection points in the first and second air zones, reduces the temperature influence between adjacent temperature detection points in the two air zones, and makes the relative cooling / heating demand of the first and second air zones more accurate. This allows for more accurate control of the air conditioning supply and maintains the indoor temperature at the set temperature.

[0137] Optionally, the air conditioner includes a first air duct and a second air duct, the first air duct being used to supply air to a first air zone, and the second air duct being used to supply air to the second air duct; controlling the air supply volume of the air conditioner to the first air zone to be greater than the air supply volume to the second air zone includes: controlling the first air duct to supply air to the first air zone at a first air outlet rate; and controlling the second air duct to supply air to the second air zone at a second air outlet rate, wherein the second air outlet rate is less than the first air outlet rate.

[0138] The above technical solution can be applied to twin-tower air conditioners.

[0139] Optionally, the first air outlet velocity is zero.

[0140] In the application scenario of dual-tower air conditioners, when the first air outlet rate is zero, it is in the single-tower working state, such as when the left and right towers of the air conditioner are on and off respectively.

[0141] When supplying air to the left wind zone, the left tower of the air conditioner operates while the right tower is shut down; when supplying air to the right wind zone, the right tower of the air conditioner operates while the left tower is shut down.

[0142] Furthermore, the first air duct of the air conditioner corresponds to the first heat exchanger and the first compressor, and the second air duct corresponds to the second heat exchanger and the second compressor. Thus, when the first air outlet rate is zero, the aforementioned switching condition's effect of reducing the repeated switching of the air conditioner's air supply mode can also reduce the repeated start-stop of the compressor in this application scenario, thereby reducing energy consumption.
