Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to an air conditioner and a control method, device and readable storage medium thereof. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are two modes of low-temperature dehumidification for split-type household air conditioners: one is intermittent operation. After the dehumidification mode has been running for a period of time, the indoor temperature drops. When the indoor temperature is lower than the set value, the air conditioner needs to shut down to allow the indoor temperature to rise naturally, and then enter the dehumidification mode again. In this way, the indoor temperature fluctuates greatly and the comfort is poor; the other is to heat the outlet air after dehumidification and then send it into the room. This method requires a separate heat source and is not energy-efficient.

[0003] It can be seen that the problem existing in the related art is that the technical solutions in the related art cannot improve the comfort of the user experience in the dehumidification mode. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] See also Figures 1 to 10 This embodiment provides an air conditioner, the air conditioner comprising:

[0048] The air conditioner body 100 includes a first air inlet channel 110, a first air outlet channel 120 and a heat exchanger 130. After air passes through the first air inlet channel 110 and enters the heat exchanger 130 for heat exchange, it is blown out from the first air outlet channel 120.

[0049] The heat recovery unit 200 is arranged on the air conditioner body 100. The heat recovery unit 200 includes a first air duct 210 and a second air duct 220 that are adjacently arranged and separated from each other. The first air duct 210 connects the first air inlet channel 110 with the outside, and the second air duct 220 connects the first air outlet channel 120 with the outside.

[0050] In this embodiment, the air conditioner is a split-type household air conditioner. The air conditioner in this embodiment refers to an indoor unit of the air conditioner. The air conditioner includes an air conditioner body 100 and a heat recovery unit 200 .

[0051] The air conditioner body 100 includes a first air inlet channel 110 , a first air outlet channel 120 and a heat exchanger 130 . When the air conditioner is in normal mode, indoor air enters the heat exchanger 130 through the first air inlet channel 110 for heat exchange and is then blown out from the first air outlet channel 120 .

[0052] The heat recovery unit 200 is arranged on the air conditioner body 100, and the heat recovery unit 200 includes a first air duct 210 and a second air duct 220 that are adjacently arranged and separated from each other. The first air duct 210 connects the first air inlet channel 110 with the outside, and the second air duct 220 connects the first air outlet channel 120 with the outside. When the air conditioner is in the dehumidification mode, the indoor air enters the heat exchanger 130 through the first air duct 210 and the first air inlet channel 110 in turn for heat exchange, and is then blown out from the first air outlet channel 120 and the second air duct 220 in turn.

[0053] It should be noted that the first air duct 210 and the second air duct 220 are arranged adjacent to each other and separated from each other, so the gases in the first air duct 210 and the second air duct 220 can exchange heat with each other. When the air conditioner is in dehumidification mode, the indoor hot air enters the heat exchanger 130 through the first air duct 210 and the first air inlet channel 110 in turn for heat exchange and becomes cold air. The cold air enters the first air outlet channel 120 and the second air duct 220 in turn, and exchanges heat with the hot air in the adjacent first air duct 210 in the second air duct 220, and is blown out into the indoor environment again after heat exchange.

[0054] It can be understood that in the scheme of this embodiment, heat recovery unit 200 is used to exchange heat between incoming air and outgoing air. On the one hand, the temperature of the air entering the heat exchanger 130 is reduced, which can make it easier to reach the dehumidification state, reduce the operating frequency of the compressor, and improve the energy saving effect; on the other hand, the outlet air temperature is increased to avoid a sharp drop in room temperature due to the dehumidification mode, which affects the user's comfort experience.

[0055] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment, the heat recovery unit 200 includes a plurality of first air ducts 210 and a plurality of second air ducts 220 , and a second air duct 220 is provided between every two first air ducts 210 .

[0056] In this embodiment, the heat recovery unit 200 includes a plurality of first air ducts 210 and a plurality of second air ducts 220 , a second air duct 220 is disposed between every two first air ducts 210 , and the first air ducts 210 and the second air ducts 220 are disposed adjacent to each other.

[0057] It can be understood that each first air duct 210 is sandwiched between two second air ducts 220 , and each second air duct 220 is sandwiched between two first air ducts 210 , which effectively improves the heat exchange efficiency between the incoming air in the first air duct 210 and the outgoing air in the second air duct 220 .

[0058] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment, the first air duct 210 and the second air duct 220 are separated by a heat exchange baffle 230 .

[0059] It can be understood that the incoming air in the first air duct 210 can exchange heat with the outgoing air in the second air duct 220 through the heat exchange baffle 230. The heat exchange baffle 230 separates the first air duct 210 and the second air duct 220 while also achieving a heat exchange effect, thereby effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency between the incoming air and the outgoing air.

[0060] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment, the air conditioner further comprises:

[0061] The main air outlet channel 300 includes a first air outlet 310 and a second air outlet that are relatively arranged. The main air outlet channel 300 connects the multiple second air ducts 220 with the outside. After the air enters the main air outlet channel 300 through the multiple second air ducts 220, it is blown out from the first air outlet 310 and the second air outlet.

[0062] In this embodiment, the main air outlet channel 300 connects the multiple second air ducts 220 with the outside world. Since the number of the second air ducts 220 is large, the main air outlet channel 300 plays the role of gathering the air. After the air enters the main air outlet channel 300 through the multiple second air ducts 220, it is blown out from the first air outlet 310 and the second air outlet.

[0063] The main air outlet channel 300 includes a first air outlet 310 and a second air outlet that are arranged opposite to each other. The first air outlet 310 and the second air outlet are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the air conditioner body 100. The air is sent into the room from both sides of the air conditioner through the first air outlet 310 and the second air outlet.

[0064] It can be understood that the main air outlet channel 300 effectively improves the efficiency of air flow; at the same time, the relatively arranged first air outlet 310 and the second air outlet make the air outlet more uniform, further improving the comfort of user experience.

[0065] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment, the air conditioner further comprises:

[0066] A top cover plate 400, the top cover plate 400 is connected with the air conditioner body 100, and the top cover plate 200 is used to control the communication between the first air inlet channel 110 and the outside;

[0067] The air guide door 500 is connected with the air conditioner body 100 and is used to control the communication between the first air outlet channel 120 and the outside;

[0068] The panel 600 is connected with the air conditioner body 100 , and the panel 600 covers the surface of the heat recovery unit 400 . The panel 500 can move relative to the air conditioner body 100 .

[0069] In this embodiment, the air conditioner also includes a top cover plate 400, an air guide door 500 and a panel 600; the top cover plate 200 is used to control the connection between the first air inlet channel 110 and the outside world, that is, the top cover plate 200 can control the connection between the first air inlet channel 110 and the outside world or the isolation thereof; the air guide door 500 is used to control the connection between the first air outlet channel 120 and the outside world, that is, the air guide door 500 can control the connection between the first air outlet channel 120 and the outside world or the isolation thereof.

[0070] The panel 600 is connected with the air conditioner body 100, and the panel 600 covers the surface of the heat recovery unit 400, and the panel 500 can move relative to the air conditioner body 100; see Figure 2 and Figure 8 When the top cover 400 and the air guide door 500 are opened, and the panel 600 is relatively close to the air guide door 500, the air conditioner is in the normal mode. At this time, the indoor air enters the heat exchanger 130 through the first air inlet channel 110 for heat exchange, and after the heat exchange is completed, it is blown out through the first air outlet channel 120; see Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10When the top cover plate 400 and the air guide door 500 are closed, and the position of the panel 600 is relatively far away from the air guide door 500, the air conditioner is in the dehumidification mode. At this time, the indoor air enters the first air inlet channel 110 through the first air duct 210, and then enters the heat exchanger 130 through the first air inlet channel 110 for heat exchange. After the heat exchange is completed, the outlet air enters the second air duct 220 through the first air outlet channel 120, and then is blown out into the room through the second air duct 220.

[0071] It can be understood that the solution of this embodiment changes the position of the air inlet and the air outlet by sliding the panel 600 up and down and opening and closing the top cover plate 400 and the air guide door 500, so that the air conditioner can switch between the normal mode and the initial mode, further improving the practicality and reliability of the air conditioner of this embodiment.

[0072] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment, the air conditioner body 100 is provided with a slide rail, and the panel 600 is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0073] In actual application, preferably, the slide rail is provided with a motor, and the motor can drive the panel 600 to move on the slide rail.

[0074] It can be understood that the panel 600 and the air conditioner body 100 are slidably connected via a slide rail. This connection method is simple and reliable, and further improves the reliability of the air conditioner of the present invention.

[0075] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment, this embodiment provides a control method for an air conditioner, the control method comprising:

[0076] Determine whether the air conditioner needs to enter dehumidification mode;

[0077] When the judgment is no, the indoor air is controlled to enter the heat exchanger through the first air inlet channel for heat exchange and then blown out from the first air outlet channel;

[0078] When the judgment is yes, the indoor air is controlled to enter the heat exchanger through the first air duct and the first air inlet channel in sequence for heat exchange, and then blown out through the first air outlet channel and the second air duct in sequence.

[0079] It should be noted that the determination of whether the air conditioner needs to enter the dehumidification mode is a prior art and will not be elaborated on here.

[0080] In this embodiment, when the judgment is no, the air conditioner enters the normal mode, and controls the indoor air to enter the heat exchanger through the first air inlet channel for heat exchange, and then blown out from the first air outlet channel; when the judgment is yes, the air conditioner enters the dehumidification mode, and at this time controls the indoor air to enter the heat exchanger through the first air duct and the first air inlet channel in turn for heat exchange, and then blown out through the first air outlet channel and the second air duct in turn, and the incoming air in the first air duct can exchange heat with the outgoing air in the second air duct.

[0081] It can be understood that when the air conditioner enters the dehumidification mode, the control method of this embodiment, on the one hand, reduces the temperature of the air entering the heat exchanger, which can more easily reach the dehumidification state, reduce the operating frequency of the compressor, and improve the energy-saving effect; on the other hand, it increases the air outlet temperature to avoid a sharp drop in room temperature due to the dehumidification mode, affecting the user's comfort experience.

[0082] Furthermore, this embodiment provides a control device for an air conditioner, the control device comprising:

[0083] A judgment module, which is used to judge whether the air conditioner needs to enter a dehumidification mode;

[0084] A control module, the control module is used to control the indoor air to enter the heat exchanger through the first air inlet channel for heat exchange and then be blown out from the first air outlet channel when the judgment is no;

[0085] When the judgment is yes, the indoor air is controlled to enter the heat exchanger through the first air duct and the first air inlet channel in sequence for heat exchange, and then blown out through the first air outlet channel and the second air duct in sequence.

[0086] The control device of the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention implements the steps of the control method of the air conditioner in any embodiment of the present invention, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the control method of the air conditioner in any embodiment of the present invention, which will not be described in detail here.
