[0023] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The present invention provides a flow chart of a method for controlling the air supply of an intelligent air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the method for controlling the air supply of an intelligent air conditioner is applied to an air supply control system of an intelligent air conditioner. The air supply control system of the intelligent air conditioner includes an air conditioner and a sweeping robot, and the air conditioner is connected to the sweeping robot via wireless communication, such as WiFi, Bluetooth or other wireless communication methods.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes steps S101 to S103.

[0025] S101. The sweeping robot obtains location information and orientation information of the air conditioner according to a preset air conditioner search mode, and sends the location information and the orientation information to the air conditioner.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to know the specific position of the air conditioner itself in a preset environment and the air supply direction of the air outlet, this embodiment assists the air conditioner through the sweeping robot to make up for the shortcomings of the air conditioner; specifically, the sweeping robot obtains the position information and orientation information of the air conditioner according to a preset air conditioner search mode, and sends the position information and the orientation information to the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can know its own position information and orientation information.

[0027] The sweeping robot obtains the position information and orientation information of the air conditioner according to a preset air conditioner search mode, including:

[0028] The sweeping robot constructs a home map of the current home indoor environment using a preset map construction strategy, and searches for the air conditioner from the home map to obtain location information of the air conditioner;

[0029] The sweeping robot also uses a visual recognition algorithm to identify the direction of the air outlet of the air conditioner to obtain the direction information of the air conditioner.

[0030] More specifically, the sweeping robot of this embodiment is provided with SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and visual recognition technology. Through the SLAM technology in the preset map construction strategy, a home map of the current home indoor environment can be constructed and positioned in real time, and the air conditioner can be searched in the constructed home map to obtain the location information of the air conditioner; thereby, the sweeping robot navigates to the vicinity of the air conditioner based on the found location information, and identifies various objects in the current home indoor environment, such as the air conditioner, through the image acquisition device on the sweeping robot, and uses the visual recognition algorithm to identify and process the collected image information, so as to accurately know the outlet direction information of the air conditioner, and then send the determined location information and direction information to the air conditioner via wireless communication.

[0031] In one embodiment, before step S101, the following steps are included:

[0032] The cleaning robot responds to the linkage instruction sent by the air conditioner and starts the preset air conditioner search mode according to the linkage instruction.

[0033] In this embodiment, since an ordinary air conditioner cannot know its specific position in the preset environment and whether the air supply direction of the air outlet is reasonable, this embodiment specifically sends the linkage instruction to the sweeping robot through the wireless communication module unit in the air conditioner, so that after receiving the linkage instruction, the sweeping robot starts the preset air conditioner search mode according to the linkage instruction, thereby searching for the target air conditioner based on the preset air conditioner search mode, thereby realizing the linkage between the air conditioner and the sweeping robot. Among them, the linkage instruction can be configured to be triggered periodically, or it can be triggered by relevant staff according to actual needs, which is not limited by the present invention.

[0034] S102: The air conditioner analyzes the position information and the orientation information based on a preset control algorithm to obtain an effective air supply area.

[0035] In this embodiment, the air conditioner is provided with a main control unit, and the main control unit is provided with an edge computing module; wherein the edge computing module has a preset control algorithm built in.

[0036] Specifically, after the main control unit in the air conditioner receives the position information and the orientation information, the main control unit in the air conditioner analyzes and calculates the position information and the orientation information based on a preset control algorithm to obtain an effective air supply area corresponding to the air outlet of the air conditioner, thereby facilitating subsequent intelligent adjustment of the air supply parameters of the air outlet through the effective air supply area.

[0037] In one embodiment, the location information includes the distance between the center point of the air conditioner and a preset wall, and the preset wall is an adjacent wall to which the air conditioner is located;

[0038] Wherein, the step S102 includes:

[0039] The air conditioner obtains a preset air supply distance from a local database;

[0040] The air conditioner performs a preprocessing operation on the distance between the center point of the air conditioner and a preset wall to obtain a target distance;

[0041] The air conditioner analyzes the preset air supply distance, the target distance and the direction information to obtain an analysis result;

[0042] If the analysis result is that the target distance is less than the preset air supply distance, and the air outlet ray of the air conditioner in the orientation information is parallel to the preset wall, the air conditioner generates a first air supply area, and uses the first air supply area as the effective air supply area; wherein the air outlet ray is a ray starting from the center point of the air conditioner;

[0043] If the analysis result is that the target distance is less than the preset air supply distance, and the air outlet ray of the air conditioner in the orientation information points to the other side of the preset wall, the air conditioner generates a second air supply area, and uses the second air supply area as the effective air supply area;

[0044] If the analysis result is that the target distance is less than the preset air supply distance, and the air outlet ray of the air conditioner in the orientation information points to the preset wall, the air conditioner generates a third air supply area, and uses the third air supply area as the effective air supply area;

[0045] If the analysis result is that the target distance is greater than the preset air supply distance, the air conditioner generates a fourth air supply area and uses the fourth air supply area as the effective air supply area.

[0046] In this embodiment, since the adjacent walls of the wall where the air conditioner is located usually include a left wall and a right wall, and in order to facilitate subsequent calculations, the air conditioner first performs a preprocessing operation on the distance between the center point of the air conditioner and the preset wall to obtain a target distance; specifically, the air conditioner compares the first distance between the center point of the air conditioner and the left wall and the second distance between the center point of the air conditioner and the right wall to obtain a comparison result; and discards the distance with a larger value in the comparison result, and uses the distance with a smaller value as the final target distance. For example, the distance between the center point of the air conditioner and the left wall is s1=3 meters, and the distance between the center point of the air conditioner and the right wall is s2=5 meters. Since s2>s1, s1 is selected as the target distance and s2 is discarded.

[0047] More specifically, in order to obtain an effective air supply area, the air conditioner first obtains the preset air supply distance of the air outlet from the local database, such as the preset air supply distance d=5m; then analyzes the preset air supply distance, the target distance and the direction information according to the preset control algorithm to obtain an analysis result; wherein, when the analysis result is that the target distance is less than the preset air supply distance, and the air outlet ray of the air conditioner in the direction information is parallel to the preset wall, the air conditioner generates a first air supply area; wherein, the air outlet ray is a ray starting from the center point of the air conditioner; when the analysis result is that the target distance is less than the preset air supply distance, and the When the air outlet ray of the air conditioner in the orientation information points to the other side of the preset wall, the air conditioner generates a second air supply area; when the analysis result is that the target distance is less than the preset air supply distance, and the air outlet ray of the air conditioner in the orientation information points to the preset wall, the air conditioner generates a third air supply area; when the analysis result is that the target distance is greater than the preset air supply distance, a fourth air supply area is generated; finally, the first air supply area or the second air supply area or the third air supply area or the fourth air supply area is used as the effective air supply area, so that the air conditioner can subsequently intelligently adjust the air supply parameters of the air outlet through the effective air supply area.

[0048] In one embodiment, the step S102 further includes:

[0049] The air conditioner analyzes the position information and the orientation information to generate an initial air supply area;

[0050] The air conditioner adjusts the size and / or position of the initial air supply area based on the pre-processing operation to obtain the effective air supply area.

[0051] In this embodiment, the air conditioner analyzes the position information and the orientation information based on a preset control algorithm, and the specific process of obtaining the effective air supply area also includes: after analyzing and processing the position information and the orientation information, first generate an initial air supply area; then customize the preprocessing operation based on the actual needs of the user, and upload the preprocessing operation to the air conditioner; at this time, the air conditioner arbitrarily adjusts the size and / or position of the initial air supply area based on the preprocessing operation to obtain the effective air supply area; wherein the preprocessing operation includes a scaling operation and / or a moving operation; thereby, the air supply control of the air conditioner is more flexible and convenient through the above embodiment.

[0052] S103, the air conditioner intelligently adjusts the air supply parameters of the air outlet according to the effective air supply area.

[0053] In this embodiment, after obtaining the effective air supply area, the air conditioner intelligently adjusts the air supply parameters of the air outlet according to the effective air supply area to avoid waste of resources; wherein the air supply parameters of the air outlet include air sweeping angle, air supply distance and wind speed.

[0054] In one embodiment, the step S103 includes:

[0055] The air conditioner generates a target air sweeping angle interval corresponding to the effective air supply area according to the effective air supply area;

[0056] The air conditioner adjusts the air sweeping angle of the air outlet according to the target air sweeping angle range.

[0057] In the present embodiment, after obtaining the effective air supply area, the air conditioner intelligently adjusts the air supply parameters of the air outlet according to the effective air supply area. The specific process includes: generating a target air sweeping angle interval corresponding to the effective air supply area according to the effective air supply area; and adjusting the air sweeping angle of the air outlet according to the target air sweeping angle interval; wherein, when the effective air supply area is the first air supply area, the air conditioner adjusts the air sweeping angle of the air outlet to a first air sweeping angle interval corresponding to the first air supply area according to the first air supply area; wherein, the first air sweeping angle interval is preferably 20°-120° in the present embodiment; when the effective air supply area is the second air supply area, the air conditioner adjusts the air sweeping angle of the air outlet to a first air sweeping angle interval corresponding to the first air supply area according to the second air supply area The air outlet is adjusted to the second air outlet sweep angle interval corresponding to the second air supply area; wherein the second air outlet sweep angle interval is preferably 0°-120° in this embodiment; when the effective air supply area is the third air supply area, the air conditioner adjusts the air outlet sweep angle to the third air outlet sweep angle interval corresponding to the third air supply area according to the third air supply area; wherein the third air outlet sweep angle interval is preferably 0°-120° in this embodiment; when the effective air supply area is the fourth air supply area, the air conditioner adjusts the air outlet sweep angle to the fourth air outlet sweep angle interval corresponding to the fourth air supply area according to the fourth air supply area; wherein the fourth air outlet sweep angle interval is the entire air outlet sweep angle interval. Thus, the left and right sweep angles of the air outlet can be adjusted through the effective air supply area.

[0058] In one embodiment, after the air conditioner intelligently adjusts the air sweeping angle of the air outlet according to the target air sweeping angle interval, the air conditioner further comprises:

[0059] When the sweeping angle is a sub-angle interval in the target sweeping angle interval, the air conditioner adjusts the air supply distance of the air outlet to a preset distance corresponding to the sub-angle interval, and adjusts the air supply speed of the air outlet to a preset wind speed corresponding to the sub-angle interval.

[0060] In the present embodiment, after the left and right sweeping angles of the air outlet are adjusted, the air supply distance and the air supply speed of the air outlet can also be automatically adjusted according to the effective air supply area; specifically, when the sweeping angle is a sub-angle interval in the target sweeping angle interval, the air conditioner adjusts the air supply distance of the air outlet to a preset distance corresponding to the sub-angle interval according to the sub-angle interval, and adjusts the air supply speed of the air outlet to a preset wind speed corresponding to the sub-angle interval; for example, on the premise that the target sweeping angle interval of the sweeping angle is 0°-120°, when the sweeping angle is 0°-5°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to a target distance of s meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to the minimum wind; when the sweeping angle is 5°-10°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to s+0.25 meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to low wind; when the sweeping angle is 10 °-20°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to s+0.5 meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to medium-low wind; when the wind sweeping angle is 20°-30°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to s+0.75 meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to medium wind; when the wind sweeping angle is 30°-40°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to s+1 meter, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to medium-high wind; when the wind sweeping angle is When the air sweeping angle is 40°-50°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to s+1.25 meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to high wind; when the air sweeping angle is 50°-60°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to s+1.5 meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to strong wind; when the air sweeping angle is 60°-120°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to the preset air supply distance d meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to strong wind.

[0061] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that the present invention assists the air conditioner in identifying position information and orientation information through the sweeping robot, so that the air conditioner obtains an effective air supply area, and intelligently adjusts the air supply parameters of the air outlet according to the effective air supply area, so that the effective air supply area can get more sufficient air supply, avoiding the problem of the air conditioner supplying air to an invalid area and causing a waste of resources.

[0064] The cleaning robot 102 is used to obtain the position information and the orientation information of the air conditioner 101 according to a preset air conditioner search mode, and send the position information and the orientation information to the air conditioner 101.

[0065] In this embodiment, in order to know the specific position of the air conditioner itself in a preset environment and the air supply direction of the air outlet, this embodiment assists the air conditioner through the sweeping robot to make up for the shortcomings of the air conditioner; specifically, the sweeping robot obtains the position information and orientation information of the air conditioner according to a preset air conditioner search mode, and sends the position information and the orientation information to the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can know its own position information and orientation information.

The specific process includes: generating a target air sweeping angle interval corresponding to the effective air supply area according to the effective air supply area; and adjusting the air sweeping angle of the air outlet according to the target air sweeping angle interval; wherein, when the effective air supply area is the first air supply area, the air conditioner adjusts the air sweeping angle of the air outlet to a first air sweeping angle interval corresponding to the first air supply area according to the first air supply area; wherein, the first air sweeping angle interval is preferably 20°-120° in the present embodiment; when the effective air supply area is the second air supply area, the air conditioner adjusts the air sweeping angle of the air outlet to a first air sweeping angle interval corresponding to the first air supply area according to the second air supply area The air outlet is adjusted to the second air outlet sweep angle interval corresponding to the second air supply area; wherein the second air outlet sweep angle interval is preferably 0°-120° in this embodiment; when the effective air supply area is the third air supply area, the air conditioner adjusts the air outlet sweep angle to the third air outlet sweep angle interval corresponding to the third air supply area according to the third air supply area; wherein the third air outlet sweep angle interval is preferably 0°-120° in this embodiment; when the effective air supply area is the fourth air supply area, the air conditioner adjusts the air outlet sweep angle to the third air outlet sweep angle interval corresponding to the fourth air supply area according to the fourth air supply area; wherein the fourth air outlet sweep angle interval is the entire air outlet sweep angle interval. Thus, the left and right sweep angles of the air outlet can be adjusted through the effective air supply area.

[0097] In one embodiment, the air conditioner 101, after being used to intelligently adjust the air sweeping angle of the air outlet according to the target air sweeping angle range, further comprises:

[0098] When the sweeping angle is a sub-angle interval in the target sweeping angle interval, the air conditioner adjusts the air supply distance of the air outlet to a preset distance corresponding to the sub-angle interval, and adjusts the air supply speed of the air outlet to a preset wind speed corresponding to the sub-angle interval.

[0099] In the present embodiment, after the left and right sweeping angles of the air outlet are adjusted, the air supply distance and the air supply speed of the air outlet can also be automatically adjusted according to the effective air supply area; specifically, when the sweeping angle is a sub-angle interval in the target sweeping angle interval, the air conditioner adjusts the air supply distance of the air outlet to a preset distance corresponding to the sub-angle interval according to the sub-angle interval, and adjusts the air supply speed of the air outlet to a preset wind speed corresponding to the sub-angle interval; for example, on the premise that the target sweeping angle interval of the sweeping angle is 0°-120°, when the sweeping angle is 0°-5°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to a target distance of s meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to the minimum wind; when the sweeping angle is 5°-10°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to s+0.25 meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to low wind; when the sweeping angle is 10 °-20°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to s+0.5 meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to medium-low wind; when the wind sweeping angle is 20°-30°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to s+0.75 meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to medium wind; when the wind sweeping angle is 30°-40°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to s+1 meter, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to medium-high wind; when the wind sweeping angle is When the air sweeping angle is 40°-50°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to s+1.25 meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to high wind; when the air sweeping angle is 50°-60°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to s+1.5 meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to strong wind; when the air sweeping angle is 60°-120°, the air supply distance of the air outlet is adjusted to the preset air supply distance d meters, and the air supply speed of the air outlet is adjusted to strong wind.

[0100] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that the present invention assists the air conditioner in identifying position information and orientation information through the sweeping robot, so that the air conditioner obtains an effective air supply area, and intelligently adjusts the air supply parameters of the air outlet according to the effective air supply area, so that the effective air supply area can get more sufficient air supply, avoiding the problem of the air conditioner supplying air to an invalid area and causing a waste of resources.
