[0034] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the application clearer, the technical solutions in the application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the protection scope of the application.

[0035] The terms "first", "second", and the like in the specification and claims of the 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 application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", and the like are generally of a kind and are 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.

[0036] The operation principle of the air conditioner related to the embodiments of the application will be described in detail below.

[0037] As Figure 1As shown, the compressor compresses the refrigerant, which is then delivered to the condenser. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant releases heat in the condenser and becomes a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. After that, 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, where it evaporates 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.

[0038] Based on the above working principle, the working principle of the air conditioner in different working modes includes:

[0039] 1. Refrigeration cycle (including dehumidification 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.

[0040] 2. Indoor unit air supply and return: The air conditioner delivers cool 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 deliver cool 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 absorb indoor air and exchange heat with the refrigerant, thereby realizing the cooling or heating of indoor air. 3. Duct system: The air conditioner delivers cool 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 delivers cool or hot air from the indoor unit to different rooms or areas, and the return channel delivers air in the room back to the indoor unit for further processing. 4. Humidity and air speed control: The air conditioner is usually equipped with a humidity sensor and an air speed controller, which can control the operation of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit according to the user's humidity and air speed requirements, thereby realizing the humidity and air speed control of different rooms or areas. Generally speaking, the air conditioner can realize independent humidity control of different rooms or areas, providing a comfortable indoor environment.

[0041] To solve the problem of high energy consumption of the air conditioner in the dehumidification mode with the new air function turned on in the related art, the embodiments of the present application consider that the new air function of the air conditioner can be turned on at a suitable time, 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 fresh air control method in the dehumidification mode provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling fresh air in a dehumidification mode, which may include the following steps 201 to 203:

[0044] Step 201: When the working mode of the air conditioner is the dehumidification mode, obtain humidity parameter information.

[0045] The humidity parameter information includes: indoor environment humidity, outdoor environment humidity and set humidity of the air conditioner.

[0046] For example, before determining whether the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be activated, the indoor humidity, outdoor humidity, and the set humidity of the air conditioner in the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner must first be determined. Then, based on the indoor humidity, outdoor humidity, and the set humidity of the air conditioner, whether the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be activated is determined.

[0047] Step 202: Determine whether the fresh air function needs to be turned on based on the humidity parameter information, and if it is determined that the fresh air function needs to be turned on, turn on the fresh air function, and adjust the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on the humidity parameter information.

[0048] The adjustment of the operating parameters of the air conditioner is used to ensure that the operating effect of the air conditioner remains consistent with that before the adjustment.

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

[0050] Step 202a: When the indoor ambient humidity does not reach the set humidity, compare the outdoor ambient humidity and the indoor ambient humidity, and determine whether to enable the fresh air function based on the comparison result.

[0051] It is understandable that if the air conditioner is in dehumidification mode and the indoor humidity has reached the set humidity of the air conditioner, turning on the fresh air function of the air conditioner at this time may cause a significant change in the indoor humidity, causing the compressor to restart, thereby increasing the energy consumption of the air conditioner. Based on this, the fresh air control method in dehumidification mode provided in the embodiment of the present application first needs to determine whether the indoor humidity has reached the set humidity of the air conditioner before determining whether the fresh air function needs to be turned on. If not, it can further determine whether the fresh air function needs to be turned on.

[0052] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the judgment standard for starting the fresh air function is whether the energy consumption of the air conditioner will be increased. If yes, the fresh air function will not be started actively. If no, 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 outdoor environment humidity is less than the indoor environment humidity, the above step 202a can include the following step 202a1:

[0054] Step 202a1, in the case that the outdoor environment humidity is less than the indoor environment humidity, and the first humidity difference between the outdoor environment humidity and the indoor environment humidity is less than a first preset humidity difference, it is determined to start the fresh air function.

[0055] Exemplarily, when the outdoor environment humidity is less than the indoor environment humidity, the fresh air system of the air conditioner can be started to reduce the indoor environment humidity.

[0056] Exemplarily, in the case that the working mode of the air conditioner is the dehumidification mode, if the outdoor environment humidity is less than the indoor environment humidity at this time, the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be started to introduce outdoor air into the indoor environment to reduce the indoor environment humidity. 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 usually starts the dehumidification mode in the hot summer to reduce the indoor environment humidity, but the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be started when the outdoor air is relatively cool and the humidity is low at night. After starting the fresh air function of the air conditioner, not only the indoor environment humidity 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 outdoor environment humidity is greater than the indoor environment humidity, the above step 202a can also include the following step 202a2:

[0059] Step 202a2, in the case that the outdoor environment humidity is greater than the indoor environment humidity, and the first humidity difference between the outdoor environment humidity and the indoor environment humidity is less than a second preset humidity difference, it is determined to start the fresh air function.

[0060] Exemplarily, when the outdoor environment humidity is greater than the indoor environment humidity, the fresh air function of the air conditioner can also be started, but it needs to cooperate with the semiconductor refrigeration device arranged in the fresh air duct to reduce the air humidity input into the indoor environment.

[0061] Exemplarily, after determining to turn on the fresh air function of the air conditioner, in order to ensure that the operation effect of the air conditioner remains consistent with the adjustment of the operation parameters before, the operation parameters of the air conditioner also need to be adjusted to avoid rapid change of indoor environment humidity, and meanwhile, the energy consumption of the air conditioner can be reduced.

[0062] Specifically, based on the step 202a2, the step of turning on the fresh air function in the step 202 can include the following step 202b.

[0063] The step 202b controls the air conditioner to turn on the fresh air function, and controls the semiconductor refrigeration device in the fresh air duct of the air conditioner to turn on auxiliary refrigeration to reduce the air humidity input into the indoor environment through the fresh air duct.

[0064] Exemplarily, the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present application is provided with the semiconductor refrigeration device on the inner wall of the fresh air duct, which can realize refrigeration with lower power consumption, and the air with higher humidity can generate condensate water on the surface of the semiconductor refrigeration device after passing through the semiconductor refrigeration device, so that the air humidity input into the indoor environment can be reduced to a certain extent.

[0065] Specifically, after determining that the fresh air function can be turned on, the step 202 can include the following steps 202c1 to 202c3.

[0066] The step 202c1 calculates a second humidity difference value of the outdoor environment humidity and the indoor environment humidity.

[0067] The step 202c2 determines a first additional adjustment ratio based on the second humidity difference value, and determines a sum of the basic adjustment ratio and the first additional adjustment ratio as a first target adjustment ratio of the fresh air machine operation parameter.

[0068] The step 202c3 adjusts the operation parameters of the air conditioner based on the first target adjustment ratio.

[0069] The first additional adjustment ratio is positively correlated with the second humidity difference value, and the first target adjustment ratio is used to reduce the operation parameters of the air conditioner.

[0070] Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present application, after determining to turn on the fresh air function, the additional adjustment ratio can be determined based on the difference between the outdoor environment humidity and the indoor environment humidity on the basis of the basic adjustment ratio, and then the first target adjustment ratio is obtained by adding the basic adjustment ratio and the additional adjustment ratio.

[0071] It can be understood that after the fresh air function is started, the running parameters of the air conditioner can be appropriately reduced to reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner. Specifically, the first target adjustment ratio can change with the change of the indoor and outdoor environment humidity difference, that is, in the case that the indoor and outdoor environment humidity difference decreases, the low target adjustment ratio also decreases.

[0072] In a possible implementation, when the fresh air function of the air conditioner is started, if the outdoor environment humidity is greater than the outdoor environment humidity, the fresh air function of the air conditioner needs to be closed to avoid increasing the energy consumption of the air conditioner.

[0073] Specifically, after the steps 202a2 and 202a4, the fresh air control method in the dehumidification mode provided by the embodiment of the present application can further include the following step 203.

[0074] Step 203: After the fresh air function of the air conditioner is started, if the indoor environment humidity of the current environment is greater than the outdoor environment humidity of the current environment, and the first humidity difference value between the outdoor environment humidity and the indoor environment humidity is greater than or equal to the second preset humidity difference value, the fresh air function is closed.

[0075] Specifically, after the step 202c2, the fresh air control method in the dehumidification mode provided by the embodiment of the present application can further include the following step 204.

[0076] Step 204: After the fresh air function of the air conditioner is started, if the difference between the indoor environment humidity of the current environment and the outdoor environment humidity of the current environment is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold, the fresh air function is closed.

[0077] For example, in order to enable the indoor air to be sufficiently purified, when it is determined that the fresh air function needs to be closed, a delay closing can be set, that is, in the case that the closing condition is met, the fresh air function of the air conditioner can be closed after a preset time period.

[0078] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, if the user forcibly starts the fresh air function of the air conditioner by manual control in the case that the fresh air function is not started, in order to ensure the consistency of the running effect of the air conditioner, the running parameters of the air conditioner need to be adjusted.

[0079] For example, after the step 202, the fresh air control method in the dehumidification mode provided by the embodiment of the present application can further include the following steps 205 to 207.

[0080] Step 205: In the case that it is determined that the fresh air function is not started, if a fresh air function starting instruction for starting the fresh air function is received, a third humidity difference value between the outdoor environment humidity and the indoor environment humidity is calculated.

[0081] Step 206, determining a second additional adjustment ratio based on the third humidity difference, and determining a sum of the basic adjustment ratio and the second additional adjustment ratio as a second target adjustment ratio of the new air fan operation parameter.

[0082] Step 207, adjusting the operation parameter of the air conditioner based on the second target adjustment ratio.

[0083] The second additional adjustment ratio is positively correlated with the third humidity difference; and the second target adjustment ratio is used to improve the operation parameters of the air conditioner.

[0084] It can be understood that, in the case of determining not to start the new air function, if the user feels that the indoor air quality is poor and forcibly starts the new air function, the compressor operation frequency and / or the fan speed of the air conditioner need to be increased to improve the dehumidification effect, so as to avoid that the new air function has a great influence on the indoor environment humidity after being started.

[0085] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when the air conditioner is started, the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled in combination with the operation parameters of other air conditioners in the current region, so as to realize the automation of the air conditioner operation and save the step of manual setting by the user.

[0086] Exemplarily, before the step 201, the new air control method in the dehumidification mode provided by the embodiment of the present application can further include the following steps 208 to 210:

[0087] Step 208, in the case of receiving a start-up instruction, obtaining the user information of the air conditioner and the user information of a first air conditioner in the region to which the air conditioner belongs and having the same performance parameters as the air conditioner.

[0088] It should be noted that, since the effects of air conditioners with different performance parameters are greatly different under the same operation parameters, the operation parameters of air conditioners with different performance parameters do not have reference significance and need to be excluded.

[0089] Step 209, based on the user information of the air conditioner and the user information of the first air conditioner, screening a second air conditioner with the same user age range as the air conditioner from the first air conditioner.

[0090] Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present application, the users can be divided according to age ranges, 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 can be comprehensively judged by detecting the height, gender, breathing rate, heart rate, limb movement and activity level of the user through a millimeter wave radar.

[0091] In step 210, an average value of the running parameter of the third air conditioner in the running state and in the dehumidification mode is taken as the current running parameter of the air conditioner.

[0092] The first air conditioner comprises a plurality of air conditioners, and the running parameter comprises at least one of the following: set humidity, compressor running frequency, indoor unit fan rotating speed, and outdoor unit fan rotating speed.

[0093] Exemplarily, after the working mode and the running parameter of the air conditioner are determined, the running of the air conditioner can be controlled based on the working mode and the running parameter.

[0094] It can be understood that different age groups have different requirements for environmental humidity, and therefore, in order to make the running parameter of the air conditioner meet the requirements of the user, the first air conditioner needs to be screened to select a second air conditioner with a similar age group.

[0095] It should be noted that the air conditioner in the embodiments of the present application can be a cabinet air conditioner, a wall-mounted air conditioner, or a ducted air conditioner.

[0096] The new air control method in the dehumidification mode provided in the embodiments of the present application first acquires the humidity parameter information of the current environment in the running state of the air conditioner, then determines whether the new air function needs to be started according to the humidity parameter information, and finally starts the new air function and adjusts the running parameter of the air conditioner based on the humidity parameter information in the case where it is determined that the new air function needs to be started. In this way, the air conditioner can start the new air function at a reasonable time, and the technical problem of high energy consumption of the new air function in the related art when the air conditioner is dehumidified is solved.
