[0038] As shown in Figures 1-5 The present application provides an air conditioner control method for controlling an air conditioner, the air conditioner comprising a machine body 400, and a heat exchanger 500, a fan 410 and a plurality of condensate water collecting devices arranged in the machine body 400. The fan 410 is arranged at the bottom of the heat exchanger 500, and the heat exchanger 500 is provided with condensate water collecting devices on both sides. The condensate water collecting device has a water collecting box 700 which can move along the width direction of the heat exchanger and pass through at least part of the area below the heat exchanger. The air conditioner control method comprises:

[0039] S100, determining whether the width of the condensate water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than a first width.

[0040] Wherein, whether the condensate water is generated on the heat exchanger 500 can be identified by image device and identification algorithm, and whether the condensate water is generated on the heat exchanger 500, the position of the condensate water and the size of the condensate water droplets are confirmed by real-time shooting of the picture of the heat exchanger 500 through the preset algorithm.

[0041] S200, after determining that the width of the condensate water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than the first width, starting the condensate water collecting device on any side of the heat exchanger 500 to collect the condensate water on the heat exchanger 500.

[0042] Wherein, the heat exchanger 500 is generally arranged along the height direction of the machine body 400, so when the width of the condensate water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than a certain width, it means that the water droplets will be separated from the heat exchanger 500, so the condensate water collecting device needs to be started to collect the water droplets.

[0043] In some embodiments, determining whether the condensate water droplet width is greater than the first width comprises: continuously taking photos of the surface of the heat exchanger 500, identifying each photo, determining the position and width of the condensate water droplet, and comparing the condensate water droplet width with the first width, and starting the condensate water collection device to collect the condensate water on the heat exchanger 500 when it is determined that the condensate water droplet width is greater than the first width.

[0045] In some embodiments, the specific collection method of the condensate water collection device is to move the water collection box 700 to the lower side of the condensate water droplet on the heat exchanger 500 to receive the condensate water.

[0046] In some embodiments, S200, the condensate water collection device located on any side of the heat exchanger 500 is started to collect the condensate water on the heat exchanger 500, comprising:

[0047] S210, after determining the condensation position of the condensate water droplet on the heat exchanger 500, the water collection box 700 of the condensate water collection device adjacent to the condensation position is controlled to move to the water receiving position corresponding to the condensation position.

[0048] In some embodiments, the condensation position of the condensate water droplet on the heat exchanger 500 can be determined by image recognition or radar when it is determined whether the condensate water is generated.

[0049] In some embodiments, the general water receiving position is located directly below the condensation position.

[0050] In some embodiments, the water collection box 700 is controlled to move to the position directly below the condensation position, so as to receive the condensate water when the condensate water droplet is separated from the heat exchanger 500.

[0051] S220, after the water collection box 700 moves to the condensation position, it is determined whether the liquid level parameter of the water collection box 700 reaches the first condition.

[0052] In some embodiments, the liquid level parameter of the water collection box includes the liquid level height and the liquid level rising rate, which can reflect whether the receiving amount of the water collection box 700 is close to the receiving limit, that is, when the liquid level parameter reaches the first condition, it can be determined that the condensate water receiving amount of the water collection box 700 is close to the receiving limit.

[0053] S230, after determining that the liquid level parameter of the water collecting box 700 reaches the first condition, controlling the water collecting box 700 to move to the water receiving position, and controlling the water collecting box 700 of the condensate water collecting device on the other side to move to the water receiving position.

[0054] Wherein, after determining that the liquid level parameter of the water collecting box 700 reaches the first condition, it is determined that the receiving amount of the water collecting box 700 is close to its own receiving limit, so the condensate water collecting devices on both sides of the heat exchanger need to be used alternately to ensure that the condensate water will not drip on the fan.

[0055] For example, the heat exchanger is provided with a first condensate water collecting device on one side and a second condensate water collecting device on the other side, the first condensate water collecting device has a first water collecting box 701, and the second condensate water collecting device has a second water collecting box 702, after the liquid level parameter of the first water collecting box 701 reaches the first condition, the first water collecting box 701 is controlled to move to the water receiving position, and the second water collecting box 702 is controlled to move to the water receiving position.

[0056] In some embodiments, a plurality of condensate water collecting devices are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the heat exchanger 500 to form a condensate water collecting group, and a plurality of condensate water collecting groups are arranged along the height direction of the heat exchanger 500, each condensate water collecting device includes a driving member and a water collecting box 700, and the driving member is used to drive the water collecting box 700 to move along the width direction of the heat exchanger.

[0057] That is, a plurality of condensate water collecting groups are arranged along the height direction of the heat exchanger, and for the condensate water at different height positions on the heat exchanger, the condensate water collecting group closest to the height position of the condensate water can be used for collection, so as to improve the convenience and rapidity of collection.

[0058] Based on the above embodiment, S210, after determining the condensation position of the condensate water droplet on the heat exchanger 500, the water collecting box 700 of the condensate water collecting device adjacent to the condensation position is controlled to move to the water receiving position corresponding to the condensation position, including:

[0059] Determining the height of the condensation position of the condensate water droplet.

[0060] Wherein, the height of the height position of the condensate water droplet is the height of the position of the condensate water droplet on the heat exchanger 500.

[0061] According to the height of the condensation position of the condensate water droplet, the condensate water collecting group corresponding to the height of the condensation position is controlled to collect the condensate water at the condensation position.

[0062] Wherein, the condensate water collecting group corresponding to the height of the condensation position is generally the condensate water collecting group closest to the lower side of the condensation position.

[0063] In some embodiments, S220, after the water collection box 700 moves to the water receiving position, it is determined whether the liquid level parameter of the water collection box 700 reaches the first condition, including:

[0064] S121, it is determined whether the liquid level rising rate in the water collection box 700 is greater than or equal to the preset rate.

[0065] Wherein, the liquid level in the water collection box 700 is periodically acquired at a preset time interval, and the liquid level rising rate in the water collection box 700 is calculated, such as the liquid level rising height of the water collection box 700 in the first time length t is h, then the liquid level rising rate v = h / t.

[0066] If the liquid level rising rate in the water collection box 700 is greater than or equal to the preset rate, it is determined that the liquid level parameter of the water collection box 700 reaches the first condition when the liquid level in the water collection box 700 is higher than the first liquid level.

[0067] Wherein, the first liquid level is lower than the second liquid level, when it is determined that the liquid level rising rate in the water collection box 700 is greater than or equal to the preset rate, it means that the current liquid level rising speed in the water collection box 700 is fast, so the water collection box needs to be replaced at a lower liquid level, that is, it is determined that the water collection box 700 reaches the first condition when the liquid level is higher than the first liquid level, and the first liquid level is lower than the second liquid level.

[0068] If the liquid level rising rate in the water collection box 700 is less than the preset rate, it is determined that the liquid level parameter of the water collection box 700 reaches the first condition when the liquid level in the water collection box 700 is higher than the second liquid level.

[0069] Wherein, the second liquid level is higher than the first liquid level.

[0070] Wherein, when it is determined that the liquid level rising in the water collection box 700 is less than the preset rate, it means that the current liquid level rising speed in the water collection box 700 is slow, so the water collection box can be replaced when the liquid level is higher, that is, it is determined that the water collection box 700 reaches the first condition when the liquid level is higher than the second liquid level, and the first liquid level is lower than the second liquid level.

[0071] Wherein, the first liquid level is two-thirds of the total height of the water collection box 700, and the second liquid level is three-fourths of the total height of the water collection box 700.

[0072] In some embodiments, the present application also provides an air conditioner control device 10, comprising an acquisition module 100, a judgment module 200 and a control module. The acquisition module 100 is used to acquire the width of the condensate water droplets on the heat exchanger 500. The judgment module 200 is used to determine whether the width of the condensate water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than the first width. The control module 300 is used to start the condensate water collection device located at any one side of the heat exchanger 500 to collect the condensate water on the heat exchanger 500 after it is determined that the width of the condensate water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than the first width.

The heat exchanger 500 is provided with condensate water collecting devices on both sides, and the condensate water collecting devices have a water collecting box 700 which can move through at least part of the area below the heat exchanger 500 in the width direction of the heat exchanger 500. Those skilled in the art can understand that the structure of the above-mentioned air conditioner does not constitute a limitation on the air conditioner, and can include more or fewer components, or combine certain components, or different component arrangements. Among them:

[0074] The processor 601 is a controller of the air conditioner, which connects various parts of the air conditioner through various interfaces and lines, executes software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 602, and calls data stored in the memory 602, to perform various functions of the air conditioner and process data, thereby monitoring the air conditioner as a whole. Optionally, the processor 601 can include one or more processing cores; preferably, the processor 601 can integrate an application processor 601 and a modem processor 601, wherein the application processor 601 mainly processes the operating system, user interface, and computer programs, and the modem processor 601 mainly processes wireless communication.

[0075] The memory 602 can be used to store software programs and modules, and the processor 601 executes various functions and data processing by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory. The memory can mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program storage area can store an operating system, at least one computer program required by a function (such as a sound playing function, an image playing function, etc.), and the like; the data storage area can store data created according to the use of the server, etc. In addition, the memory can include a high-speed random access memory, and can also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state memory device. Accordingly, the memory can also include a memory controller to provide access for the processor 601 to the memory.

[0076] The air conditioner further comprises a power supply 603 for supplying power to each component. Preferably, the power supply 603 is logically connected to the processor 601 through a power management system, so that the power management system can realize the functions of managing charging, discharging, power consumption management, etc. The power supply can further comprise one or more than one direct current or alternating current power supply, a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator, etc.

[0077] The air conditioner can further comprise an input unit 604 for receiving inputted digital or character information, and generating keyboard, mouse, joystick, optical or trackball signal inputs related to user settings and function controls.

In the present embodiment, the processor 601 in the air conditioner loads one or more than one executable file corresponding to the processes of one or more than one computer program into the memory 602 according to the following instructions, and runs the computer program stored in the memory 602 by the processor 601 to perform the following steps:

[0079] determining whether the width of the condensate water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than a first width.

[0080] after determining that the width of the condensate water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than the first width, starting the condensate water collecting device located at any one side of the heat exchanger 500 to collect the condensate water on the heat exchanger 500.

[0081] By performing the above air conditioner control method, after determining that the condensate water is generated on the heat exchanger 500 of the air conditioner and reaches a certain size, the condensate water is collected by the condensate water collecting device, so as to avoid the condensate water from falling on the fan 410, and further to avoid the condensate water from splashing, preventing the short circuit of the circuit and the icing of the fan 410.

[0082] Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the steps in any one of the above embodiments can be completed by a computer program, or by a computer program controlling related hardware, which can be stored in a computer readable storage medium and loaded and executed by the processor 601.

[0083] In some embodiments, a plurality of condensate water collecting devices are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the heat exchanger 500 to form a condensate water collecting group, and there are a plurality of condensate water collecting groups along the height direction of the heat exchanger 500, each condensate water collecting device comprising a driving member and a water collecting box 700, the driving member being used to drive the water collecting box 700 to move along the width direction of the heat exchanger.

[0084] That is, a plurality of condensate water collection groups are arranged along the height direction of the heat exchanger. For the condensate water at different height positions on different heat exchangers, the condensate water collection group closest to the height position of the condensate water can be used to collect the condensate water, so as to improve the convenience and rapidity of collection.

[0085] Based on the above embodiment, in S210 of the air conditioner control method, after determining the condensation position of the condensate water droplets on the heat exchanger 500, the water collecting box 700 of the condensate water collection device adjacent to the condensation position is controlled to move to the water receiving position corresponding to the condensation position, comprising:

[0086] Determine the height of the condensation position of the condensate water droplets.

[0087] The height of the height position of the condensate water droplets is the height of the position of the condensate water droplets on the heat exchanger 500.

[0088] According to the height of the condensation position of the condensate water droplets, the condensate water collection group corresponding to the height is controlled to collect the condensate water at the condensation position.

[0089] The condensate water collection group corresponding to the height of the condensation position is generally the condensate water collection group closest to the lower side of the condensation position.

[0090] In some embodiments, the condensate water collection group includes a first condensate water collection device and a second condensate water collection device, which are generally arranged on the same horizontal plane. By arranging the first condensate water collection device and the second condensate water collection device on the same horizontal plane, it can be ensured that when one collection device is draining, the other collection device can continue to collect condensate water at the condensation position.

[0091] In some embodiments, the driving member includes a first telescopic rod 710 and a second telescopic rod 720, which are connected in parallel to the two sides of the water collecting box 700. The first telescopic rod 710 and the second telescopic rod 720 are used to drive the water collecting box 700 to move between the water receiving position and the water draining position.

[0092] It can be understood that the first telescopic rod 710 and the second telescopic rod 720 are respectively connected to the two sides of the water collecting box 700, which can ensure that the first telescopic rod 710 and the second telescopic rod 720 have a hollow structure in the middle and no obstructions, which will not affect the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger 500.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first telescopic rod 710 and the second telescopic rod 720 cooperate to make the moving distance of the water collecting box 700 greater than or equal to the width of the heat exchanger, so as to ensure that the water collecting box 700 can collect condensate water at any width position of the heat exchanger 500.

[0094] In some embodiments, the bottom of the water collecting box 700 is provided with an openable and closable drain, and the two sides of the machine body 400 are provided with water receiving base plates. When the water collecting box 700 of the oppositely arranged condensate water collecting device is moved to the respective drain position, the water collecting box 700 coincides with the respective corresponding water receiving base plate in the height direction of the machine body 400.

[0095] For example, the condensate water collecting group includes a first condensate water collecting device and a second condensate water collecting device. The first condensate water collecting device includes a first water collecting box 701, and the second condensate water collecting device includes a second water collecting box 702. The first water collecting box 701 and the second water collecting box 702 are arranged on the two sides of the heat exchanger 500 when they are in the drain position, i.e., the water receiving plates are arranged on the two sides of the heat exchanger 500. When the first water collecting box 701 and the second water collecting box 702 are in the drain position, the first water collecting box 701 and the second water collecting box 702 open the drain, and the condensate water in the first water collecting box 701 and the second water collecting box 702 falls into the water receiving plate and is then drained away by the water receiving plate.

[0096] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes a first water receiving plate 510 and a second water receiving plate 520. The first water receiving plate 510 is arranged at the middle part of the heat exchanger 500, and the second water receiving plate 520 is arranged at the bottom of the heat exchanger 500. The first water receiving plate 510 and the second water receiving plate 520 are both provided with a water immersion switch 511 for detecting whether there is liquid in the first water receiving plate 510 and the second water receiving plate 520.

[0097] The first water receiving plate 510 and the second water receiving plate 520 are arranged at different positions and are both used to receive the condensate water of different regions of the heat exchanger 500. After the condensate water flows into the first water receiving plate 510 and the second water receiving plate 520, the water immersion switch 511 detects that there is condensate water in the first water receiving plate 510 / second water receiving plate 520, so that it can be determined that there is condensate water generated on the heat exchanger 500.
