[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the application more clear, the technical solutions in the application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the application.

[0036] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally a class, not limited to the number of objects, for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / ", generally indicates that the front and rear associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0037] The following describes in detail the operating principle of the air conditioner involved in the embodiments of the present application:

[0038] As shown in Figure 1 , the compressor compresses the refrigerant (cooling medium), which is delivered to the condenser through the pipeline. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant releases heat in the condenser and becomes a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. Then, the medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant is depressurized by the capillary tube (throttling unit) and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant is delivered to the evaporator and evaporated into a gas, and absorbs a large amount of heat during the evaporation process. Finally, the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the evaporator is delivered to the compressor and participates in the next cycle.

[0039] Based on the above working principle, the working principle of the air conditioner under different working modes includes:

[0040] 1. Refrigeration cycle or heating cycle: The air conditioner realizes air cooling or heating through the refrigeration cycle or heating cycle of the outdoor unit. In the refrigeration cycle, the outdoor unit compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas through the compressor, then releases heat through the condenser to make the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid, and then expands the refrigerant into a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid through the expansion valve to absorb the heat of indoor air, making the indoor air cool. In the heating cycle, the outdoor unit works in reverse to release the heat of the refrigerant to the indoor, thereby realizing heating. 2. Indoor unit air supply and return: The air conditioner sends cold or hot air into the duct system through the indoor unit, and then delivers it to different rooms or areas through the duct system. The indoor unit is usually equipped with a fan and a heat exchanger, which can send the cold or hot air from the outdoor unit into the duct system through the fan, and then deliver it to different rooms or areas through the duct. The indoor unit will also suck indoor air and exchange heat with the refrigerant, thereby realizing the refrigeration or heating of indoor air. 3. Duct system: The air conditioner delivers cold or hot air to different rooms or areas through the duct system. The duct system generally includes a supply channel and a return channel. The supply channel sends cold or hot air from the indoor unit to different rooms or areas, and the return channel sends the air in the room back to the indoor unit for further processing. 4. Temperature and wind speed control: The air conditioner is usually equipped with a temperature sensor and a wind speed controller, which can control the operation of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit according to the user's set temperature and wind speed requirements, thereby realizing temperature and wind speed control in different rooms or areas. Generally speaking, the air conditioner can realize independent temperature control in different rooms or areas, providing a comfortable indoor environment.

[0041] To solve the problem of high energy consumption when the air conditioner is in cooling or heating mode and the fresh air function is turned on in the related technology, the embodiments of the present application consider selecting appropriate timing to turn on the fresh air function of the air conditioner, which not only reduces the energy consumption of the air conditioner, but also exchanges indoor and outdoor air to improve indoor air quality.

[0042] The new air control method for air conditioners provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings, specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2 The new air control method for air conditioners provided by the embodiments of the present application can include the following steps 201 to 203:

[0044] Step 201, in the case that the air conditioner is running, acquiring temperature parameter information of the current environment and working mode of the air conditioner.

[0045] The temperature parameter information includes indoor environment temperature, outdoor environment temperature and set temperature of the air conditioner; the working mode of the air conditioner includes cooling mode, heating mode and air supply mode.

[0046] Exemplarily, before judging whether the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be started, it is necessary to determine the working mode of the air conditioner, and the indoor environment temperature, the outdoor environment temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner. Then, whether the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be started is judged in combination with the working mode of the air conditioner and according to the indoor environment temperature, the outdoor environment temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner.

[0047] Step 202, judging whether the fresh air function needs to be started according to the temperature parameter information and the working mode of the air conditioner.

[0048] Exemplarily, since the air conditioner runs in different modes and has different purposes (including heating and cooling), the working mode of the air conditioner needs to be combined to judge whether the fresh air function needs to be started.

[0049] Specifically, the above step 202 can include the following step 202a:

[0050] Step 202a, in the case that the indoor environment temperature does not reach the set temperature, comparing the outdoor environment temperature and the indoor environment temperature based on the working mode of the air conditioner, and judging whether the fresh air function needs to be started according to the comparison result.

[0051] It can be understood that in the case that the working mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode or the heating mode, and the indoor environment temperature has reached the set temperature of the air conditioner, if the fresh air function of the air conditioner is started at this time, it may cause a large change in the indoor environment temperature, leading to the restart of the compressor and thus increasing the energy consumption of the air conditioner. Based on this, the fresh air control method for the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present application first needs to judge whether the indoor environment temperature has reached the set temperature of the air conditioner before judging whether the fresh air function needs to be started. If not, it can be further judged whether the fresh air function needs to be started.

[0052] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the judgment standard for starting the fresh air function is whether it will increase the energy consumption of the air conditioner. If yes, the fresh air function will not be started actively. If no, starting the fresh air function can not only improve the indoor air quality, but also reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner to a certain extent.

[0053] Specifically, for the case that the current working mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode, the above step 202a can include the following step 202a1 and step 202a2:

[0054] Step 202a1, in the case that the working mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode, judging whether the outdoor environment temperature is less than the indoor environment temperature.

[0055] Step 202a2, in the case that the outdoor environment temperature is less than the indoor environment temperature, determining to start the fresh air function.

[0056] Exemplarily, in the case that the working mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode, if the outdoor environment temperature is less than the indoor environment temperature at this time, the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be started, so as to introduce the outdoor air into the indoor environment to reduce the indoor environment temperature. In this way, the indoor air quality can be improved, and the energy consumption of the air conditioner can be reduced.

[0057] It can be understood that the air conditioner is usually started in the instruction mode in the hot summer to reduce the indoor environment temperature, but in the night, the outdoor air is relatively cool, and even lower than the indoor environment temperature. At this time, the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be started. After starting the fresh air function of the air conditioner, not only the indoor environment temperature and the indoor air quality can be quickly reduced, but also the energy consumption of the air conditioner can be greatly reduced.

[0058] Specifically, for the case that the current working mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, the above step 202a can further include the following step 202a3 and step 202a4:

[0059] Step 202a3, in the case that the working mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, judging whether the outdoor environment temperature is greater than the indoor environment temperature.

[0060] Step 202a4, in the case that the outdoor environment temperature is greater than the indoor environment temperature, determining to start the fresh air function.

[0061] Exemplarily, in the case that the working mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, if the outdoor environment temperature is greater than the indoor environment temperature at this time, the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be started, so as to introduce the outdoor air into the indoor environment to improve the indoor environment temperature. In this way, the indoor air quality can be improved, and the energy consumption of the air conditioner can be reduced.

[0062] It can be understood that the air conditioner is usually started in the instruction mode in the cold winter to improve the indoor environment temperature, but in the noon, the outdoor air is relatively warm, and even higher than the indoor environment temperature. At this time, the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be started. After starting the fresh air function of the air conditioner, not only the indoor environment temperature and the indoor air quality can be quickly improved, but also the energy consumption of the air conditioner can be greatly reduced.

[0063] Specifically, for the case that the current working mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, the above step 202a can further include the following step 202a3 and step 202a4:

[0064] Step 202a5, calculating a first temperature difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the indoor environment temperature in a case that the working mode of the air conditioner is the air supply mode.

[0065] Step 202a6, determining to start the fresh air function in a case that the first temperature difference is less than or equal to a preset temperature difference threshold.

[0066] Exemplarily, in a case that the working mode of the air conditioner is the air supply mode, if the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the indoor environment temperature is small at this time, the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be started, so as to introduce outdoor air into the indoor environment to improve the indoor environment temperature.

[0067] Step 203, starting the fresh air function in a case that it is determined to start the fresh air function, and adjusting the running parameters of the air conditioner based on the temperature parameter information and the working mode of the air conditioner.

[0068] The adjustment of the running parameters of the air conditioner is used to ensure that the running effect of the air conditioner remains consistent before and after the adjustment.

[0069] Exemplarily, after it is determined to start the fresh air function of the air conditioner, in order to ensure that the running effect of the air conditioner remains consistent before and after the adjustment of the running parameters, the running parameters of the air conditioner also need to be adjusted to avoid the indoor environment temperature changing too fast, and to reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner.

[0070] Specifically, the above step 203 can include the following steps 203a1 to 203a3:

[0071] Step 203a1, calculating a second temperature difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the indoor environment temperature.

[0072] Step 203a2, determining a first additional adjustment ratio based on the second temperature difference, and determining the sum of a basic adjustment ratio and the first additional adjustment ratio as a first target adjustment ratio of the running parameters of the air conditioner.

[0073] Step 203a3, adjusting the running parameters of the air conditioner based on the first target adjustment ratio.

[0074] The first additional adjustment ratio is positively correlated with the second temperature difference; and the first target adjustment ratio is used to reduce the running parameters of the air conditioner.

[0075] For example, in this embodiment of the application, after it is determined that the fresh air function is turned on, an additional adjustment ratio can be determined based on the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the indoor ambient temperature, on the basis of the basic adjustment ratio. Then, the basic adjustment ratio and the additional adjustment ratio are added together to obtain the first target adjustment ratio.

[0076] Understandably, after activating the fresh air function, the operating parameters of the air conditioner can be appropriately reduced to decrease its energy consumption. Specifically, the aforementioned first target adjustment ratio can change with the difference between indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures; that is, when the difference between indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures decreases, the lower target adjustment ratio will also decrease.

[0077] In one possible implementation, if the indoor ambient temperature equals the outdoor ambient temperature after the air conditioner's fresh air function is turned on, the fresh air function needs to be turned off to avoid increasing the air conditioner's energy consumption.

[0078] Specifically, after steps 202a2 and 202a4 above, the fresh air control method for an air conditioner provided in this application embodiment may further include the following step 204:

[0079] Step 204: After the air conditioner turns on the fresh air function, if the current indoor ambient temperature is equal to the current outdoor ambient temperature, then turn off the fresh air function.

[0080] Specifically, after step 202c2 above, the fresh air control method for an air conditioner provided in this application embodiment may further include the following step 205:

[0081] Step 205: After the air conditioner turns on the fresh air function, if the difference between the current indoor ambient temperature and the current outdoor ambient temperature is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold, then the fresh air function is turned off.

[0082] For example, in order to ensure that the indoor air is fully purified, a delayed shutdown can be set when it is determined that the fresh air function needs to be turned off. That is, the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be turned off after a preset time if the shutdown conditions are met.

[0083] For example, such as Figure 3 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating a fresh air control method for an air conditioner provided in this application embodiment. After the air conditioner is running, the system can determine whether the fresh air function can be activated by combining the air conditioner's operating mode and the current ambient temperature parameters. If the fresh air function can be activated, the air conditioner's operating parameters are adjusted to reduce its energy consumption.

[0084] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, if the user forcibly opens the fresh air function of the air conditioner by manual control under the condition that the fresh air function is not opened, the operation parameters of the air conditioner need to be adjusted to ensure the consistency of the operation effect of the air conditioner.

[0085] Exemplarily, after the step 202, the fresh air control method for the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present application can further include the following steps 206 to 208.

[0086] In the step 206, if the fresh air function opening instruction for opening the fresh air function is received under the condition that the fresh air function is not opened, a third temperature difference value between the outdoor environment temperature and the indoor environment temperature is calculated.

[0087] In the step 207, a second additional adjustment ratio is determined based on the third temperature difference value, and a sum of the basic adjustment ratio and the second additional adjustment ratio is determined as a second target adjustment ratio of the operation parameters of the air conditioner.

[0088] In the step 208, the operation parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted based on the second target adjustment ratio.

[0089] The second additional adjustment ratio is positively correlated with the third temperature difference value, and the second target adjustment ratio is used to improve the operation parameters of the air conditioner.

[0090] It can be understood that if the user forcibly opens the fresh air function under the condition that the fresh air function is not opened because the user feels that the indoor air quality is poor, the compressor operation frequency and / or the fan speed of the air conditioner need to be improved to improve the refrigeration or heating effect, so as to avoid that the indoor environment temperature is greatly affected after the fresh air function is opened.

[0091] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when the air conditioner is just started, the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled in combination with the operation parameters of other air conditioners in the current region to realize the automation of the operation of the air conditioner, so as to save the step of manual setting by the user.

[0092] Exemplarily, before the step 201, the fresh air control method for the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present application can further include the following steps 209 to 211.

[0093] In the step 209, the user information of the air conditioner and the user information of a first air conditioner having the same performance parameters as the air conditioner in the region to which the air conditioner belongs are acquired under the condition that the start instruction is received.

[0094] It should be noted that, due to the great difference in the effect of air conditioners with different performance parameters under the same operating parameters, the operating parameters of air conditioners with different performance parameters do not have reference significance and need to be excluded.

[0095] Step 210, based on the user information of the air conditioner and the user information of the first air conditioner, filtering a second air conditioner with the same user age range as the air conditioner from the first air conditioner.

[0096] Exemplarily, in the implementation of the present application, users can be divided according to age range, for example, children under 6 years old, teenagers under 14 years old, young people under 30 years old, etc. The age of the user can be obtained by setting the age of the user when using the air conditioner, or by detecting the height, gender, breathing rate, heart rate, limb movement, and activity level of the user through millimeter wave radar.

[0097] Step 211, taking the working mode of a third air conditioner in the second air conditioner in a running state as the current running mode of the air conditioner, and taking the average value of the running parameters of the third air conditioner as the current running parameters of the air conditioner.

[0098] Among them, the first air conditioner includes a plurality of air conditioners; the operating parameters include at least one of the following: set temperature, compressor operating frequency, indoor unit fan speed, outdoor unit fan speed.

[0099] Exemplarily, after determining the working mode and the operating parameters of the air conditioner, the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled based on the working mode and the operating parameters.

[0100] It can be understood that different age ranges have different needs for environmental temperature, therefore, in order to make the operating parameters of the air conditioner meet the needs of the user, the above-mentioned first air conditioner needs to be filtered to filter out a second air conditioner with similar age range.

[0101] It should be noted that the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present application can be a cabinet air conditioner, a wall-mounted air conditioner, or a ducted air conditioner.
