Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the flattening trend of the home appliance market, cost-effective air conditioner products that meet the needs of intelligent and personalized functions have become the strategic direction of home appliance companies. Quality assurance, cost reduction and efficiency improvement are the three magic weapons for air conditioners to improve their market competitiveness. Wall-mounted air conditioners are popular with users due to their unique installation method, but market customer demand surveys have found that there are many inconveniences in the display of wall-mounted air conditioner panels (blurry display, low brightness, low remote control response sound, etc.), especially due to space distance restrictions, users often cannot accurately judge whether the temperature and other instructions executed by the air conditioner are consistent with the information sent by the remote control.

[0003] Therefore, in actual use, there is such a problem: in the prior art, when the user operates the remote control to set the temperature and other information and sends it to the air conditioner, there is a problem of fuzzy information feedback (the buzzer sound of successful reception cannot be heard, the air conditioner display information cannot be seen clearly, etc.). Generally, in order to solve the problem of unclear display caused by insufficient brightness, the main method is to replace high-brightness and high-power LEDs, etc., but the significant disadvantage is that it causes the control board to increase the load, increase the cost, and reduce the reliability. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention solves the technical problem in the prior art that when a user operates a remote control to set the temperature and other information and sends it to an air conditioner, there is fuzzy information feedback.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a control method for an air conditioner, the control method comprising: after the air conditioner is running, determining whether there is a need for close-range information interaction between a user and the air conditioner; when there is a need for close-range information interaction, obtaining the current distance between the user and the air conditioner; and adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the current distance; wherein the operating parameters include: the display brightness of the air conditioner panel and the operating status of the buzzer.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting the technical solution is as follows: when there is a remote control operation, reading of display content, etc. between the user and the air conditioner, it indicates that there is a need for close-range information interaction between the user and the air conditioner. In the case of a need for close-range information interaction, the operating parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted by obtaining the user's position and status information. Specifically, when the air conditioner is in operation and there is a need for close-range information interaction between the user and the air conditioner, the user's visualization needs and reminder needs for the air conditioner can be judged according to the current distance and the distance change (that is, the change of the current distance) (that is, the user's needs are analyzed), and the display brightness of the air conditioner panel and the operating state of the buzzer are adjusted according to the visualization needs and reminder needs, wherein the operating state of the buzzer includes: the volume of the buzzer and the number of times the buzzer sounds. Specifically, the larger the current distance, the stronger the visualization needs for the air conditioner panel, and the display brightness of the air conditioner panel needs to be controlled to be stronger, and the reminder needs for the buzzer are stronger, and the volume of the buzzer needs to be controlled to be larger. The main control of the present invention performs differentiated algorithm logic processing, accurately analyzes user needs, and enables the air conditioner to make corresponding processing under different user needs. On the one hand, it meets user needs, and on the other hand, it realizes energy-saving control of the air conditioner itself. In addition, the screen display function can be integrated to release remote control button resources.

[0007] In one example of the present invention, the operating parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted according to the current distance, including: controlling the LED drive pulse duty cycle and the buzzer drive current according to the current distance; and adjusting the operating parameters based on the LED drive pulse duty cycle and the buzzer drive current.

[0008] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are: by controlling the duty cycle of the LED drive pulse to adjust the display brightness of the air-conditioning panel; by controlling the buzzer drive current to adjust the volume of the buzzer, the adjustment process is more rigorous and precise.

[0009] In one example of the present invention, the LED drive pulse duty cycle and the buzzer drive current are controlled according to the current distance, including: judging whether the air conditioner meets the first adjustment condition according to the current distance; when the air conditioner does not meet the first adjustment condition, controlling the LED drive pulse duty cycle to be the LED duty cycle threshold and the buzzer drive current to be the drive current threshold; and / or when the air conditioner meets the first adjustment condition, controlling the LED drive pulse duty cycle and the buzzer drive current according to the current distance and a preset threshold; wherein the first adjustment condition is: the current distance is less than the maximum distance threshold.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: when there is a need for close-range information interaction, the operating parameters of the LED drive pulse duty cycle and the buzzer drive current are adjusted according to the current distance, and by judging whether the air conditioner meets the first adjustment condition, it can be judged whether the current distance reaches the maximum distance threshold. This application uses a new algorithm to adjust the display brightness of the air conditioner panel to 0~100% flexibly control, integrate and replace the air conditioner screen display function, and release remote control buttons and software resources.

[0011] In one example of the present invention, the preset thresholds include: a first distance threshold and a second distance threshold; when the air conditioner meets the first adjustment condition, the LED drive pulse duty cycle and the buzzer drive current are controlled according to the current distance and the preset threshold, including: controlling the LED drive pulse duty cycle and the buzzer drive current according to the size relationship between the current distance and the first distance threshold and the second distance threshold; obtaining the distance change of the current distance, and judging whether the air conditioner meets the second adjustment condition according to the distance change; when the air conditioner meets the second adjustment condition, adjusting and updating the LED drive pulse duty cycle and the buzzer drive current; wherein the second adjustment condition is: within the first preset time period, the distance change is detected as the current distance continues to decrease.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: when the air conditioner meets the first adjustment condition, the LED drive pulse duty cycle and buzzer drive current are preliminarily adjusted according to the size relationship between the current distance and the first distance threshold and the second distance threshold. After the preliminary adjustment, the distance change within the first preset time period is obtained and it is determined whether the air conditioner meets the second adjustment condition. By determining whether the air conditioner meets the second adjustment condition, it can be determined whether the air conditioner needs to be adjusted for the second time to improve visibility and reminder: when If the distance change within the time period shows that the current distance continues to decrease, it is determined that the user continues to approach the air conditioner, and it is considered that the visualization demand and / or reminder demand are enhanced. It is necessary to enhance the LED drive pulse duty cycle and / or the buzzer drive current (that is, update the LED drive pulse duty cycle and / or the buzzer drive current) to enhance visibility and reminder. The specific enhancement process is determined according to the current distance value.

[0013] In one example of the present invention, the LED driving pulse duty cycle and the buzzer driving current are controlled according to the magnitude relationship between the current distance and the first distance threshold and the second distance threshold, including: when the current distance is less than the first distance threshold, the LED driving pulse duty cycle is controlled to be the first LED duty cycle preset value, and the buzzer driving current is the first driving current preset value; and / or when the current distance is greater than or equal to the first distance threshold and less than the second distance threshold, the LED driving pulse duty cycle is controlled to be the second LED duty cycle preset value, and the buzzer driving current is the second driving current preset value; and / or when the current distance is greater than or equal to the second distance threshold, the LED driving pulse duty cycle is controlled to be the third LED duty cycle preset value, and the buzzer driving current is the third driving current preset value; wherein, the first distance threshold < the second distance threshold < the maximum distance threshold; the first LED duty preset value < the second LED duty preset value < the third LED duty preset value < the LED duty threshold; the first driving current preset value < the second driving current preset value < the third driving current preset value < the driving current threshold.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: This application proposes an air conditioner display adaptive adjustment software algorithm control method, and the differentiated control is more in line with the application scenario.

[0015] In one example of the present invention, when the air conditioner meets the second adjustment condition, the LED drive pulse duty cycle and the buzzer drive current are adjusted and updated, including: controlling the LED drive pulse duty cycle to increase by a first percentage every second preset time period; after the air conditioner receives a remote control signal each time, controlling the buzzer drive current to increase by a second percentage, and controlling the buzzer to operate once.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: when the air conditioner meets the second adjustment condition, it means that within the first preset time period, the distance change is that the current distance continues to decrease, and it is determined that the user continues to approach the air conditioner, and it is considered that the visualization demand and / or reminder demand is enhanced. By controlling the LED drive pulse duty cycle to increase every first preset time period, the specific increase value is the first percentage; and after the air conditioner receives a remote control signal each time, the buzzer drive current is controlled to increase by a second percentage, and the buzzer is controlled to operate once.

[0017] In one example of the present invention, the control method also includes: in the absence of a need for short-distance information interaction, determining whether there is a need for long-distance information interaction between the user and the air conditioner; in the absence of a need for long-distance information interaction, controlling the air conditioner to turn off the LED display and shield the buzzer driver; in the absence of a need for long-distance information interaction, controlling the air conditioner to turn off the LED display and the air conditioner to enter a low-power display mode.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: when the air conditioner main control fails to detect the remote control signal for the third consecutive preset time, it is determined that the user currently has no need to control or change the state of the air conditioner, that is, there is no need for long-distance information interaction at this time, indicating that there is no information interaction between the user and the air conditioner (that is, there is no short-distance / long-distance information interaction), then the software controls the LED drive pulse duty cycle D to 0%, that is, turns off the LED display, and enters the low-power display mode. When the user controls the air conditioner remotely via WIFI, the mobile phone can obtain the current state of the air conditioner in real time, greatly weakening the need for direct information interaction between the user and the air conditioner, and also the need for long-distance information interaction at this time, then the software controls the LED drive pulse duty cycle D to 0%, that is, turns off the LED display, enters the low-power display mode, and shields the buzzer driver at the same time, that is, the mobile phone WIFI remote control does not trigger the buzzer response (the user has no such buzzer response feedback requirement).

[0030] In a specific embodiment, when there is a remote control operation or reading of display content between the user and the air conditioner, it indicates that there is a need for close-range information interaction between the user and the air conditioner. When there is a need for close-range information interaction, the operating parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted by obtaining the user's location and status information.

[0031] Specifically, when the air conditioner is in operation and there is a need for close-range information interaction between the user and the air conditioner, the user's visualization and reminder needs for the air conditioner (that is, the analysis of user needs) can be determined based on the current distance and the distance change (that is, the change in the current distance), and the display brightness of the air conditioner panel and the operating state of the buzzer are adjusted according to the visualization and reminder needs, wherein the operating state of the buzzer includes: the volume of the buzzer and the number of times the buzzer sounds. Specifically, the larger the current distance, the stronger the visualization demand for the air conditioner panel, and the display brightness of the air conditioner panel needs to be controlled to be stronger. At the same time, the reminder demand for the buzzer is stronger, and the volume of the buzzer needs to be controlled to be larger; when the distance change is that the current distance continues to decrease, it means that the user continues to approach the air conditioner. At this time, the display brightness of the air conditioner panel is not enough, and the visualization demand is enhanced, so it is necessary to increase the display brightness to improve visibility. At the same time, the volume of the buzzer is not enough, and the reminder demand is enhanced, so it is necessary to increase the volume of the buzzer to improve the reminder demand. Among them, the distance change can be obtained by continuously obtaining the current distance. The main control of the present invention performs algorithm logic differentiation processing, accurately analyzes user needs, and enables the air conditioner to make corresponding processing under different user needs.

[0034] Further, step S310 includes: Step S311: judging whether the air conditioner meets the first adjustment condition according to the current distance; Step S312: when the air conditioner does not meet the first adjustment condition, controlling the LED driving pulse duty cycle to be the LED duty cycle threshold and the buzzer driving current to be the driving current threshold; and / or Step S313: When the air conditioner meets the first adjustment condition, the LED driving pulse duty cycle and the buzzer driving current are controlled according to the current distance and the preset threshold value; Among them, the first adjustment condition is: the current distance is less than the maximum distance threshold.

[0035] Specifically, when there is a need for close-range information interaction, the operating parameters of the LED drive pulse duty cycle and the buzzer drive current are adjusted according to the current distance. By judging whether the air conditioner meets the first adjustment condition, it can be judged whether the current distance reaches the maximum distance threshold: When the air conditioner does not meet the first adjustment condition, it indicates that At this time, the user is far away from the air conditioner. In order to meet the user's need to identify the air conditioner status, the LED drive pulse duty cycle D is controlled to reach , buzzer drive current achieve , so that the visibility and reminder degree are maximized, so that users can see and receive the buzzer information. At the same time, since the display brightness and buzzer volume of the air conditioner panel have reached the maximum, the display brightness and buzzer volume cannot be further increased; at the same time, the LED power supply is cyclically controlled to be powered on for 2s and powered off for 1s, and the buzzer drive power supply is controlled to beep 2-3 times continuously after successfully parsing the remote control code (beep-beep or beep-beep-beep, with an interval of 50ms (the specific duration depends on the buzzer drive waveform)). When the air conditioner meets the first adjustment condition, it means At this time, the user is not far from the air conditioner. According to X and the preset threshold, control D and Among them, X is the current distance, D is the duty cycle of the LED drive pulse, Drive current for the buzzer; is the maximum distance threshold, is the LED duty cycle threshold, is the driving current threshold. Preferably, The preferred value of is 6m, The preferred value of is 100%, The preferred value is , The application uses a new algorithm to adjust the display brightness of the air conditioner panel from 0 to 100% flexibly, replaces the air conditioner screen display function in an integrated manner, and releases remote control buttons and software resources.

After the preliminary adjustment, the distance change within the first preset time period is obtained and it is determined whether the air conditioner meets the second adjustment condition. By determining whether the air conditioner meets the second adjustment condition, it can be determined whether the air conditioner needs to be adjusted again to improve visibility and reminder: when If the distance change is that the current distance continues to decrease within a certain period of time, it is determined that the user continues to approach the air conditioner, and it is considered that the visualization demand and / or reminder demand are enhanced, and it is necessary to enhance D and / or (that is, update D and / or ) to enhance visibility and reminder, and the specific enhancement process is determined according to the current distance value. is the first preset duration, The preferred value of is 2s.
