However, due to the space limitations of office spaces, it is often easy for the multiple air conditioner units to interfere with each other. For example, the air outlet coverage areas of two air conditioner units overlap, which makes the multi-split air conditioner have uneven air outlets and easily causes local overcooling.

[0026] The present disclosure is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments provided herein are only used to explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. In addition, the embodiments provided below are partial embodiments for implementing the present disclosure, rather than providing all embodiments for implementing the present disclosure.

[0028] For example, the control method of the multi-split air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a series of steps, but the control method of the multi-split air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the recorded steps. Similarly, the control device of the multi-split air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a series of units, but the device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to including the units explicitly recorded, and can also include units required to obtain relevant information or perform processing based on information.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0030] It is understandable that in the specific implementation of this application, relevant data is involved. When the embodiments in this application are applied to specific products or technologies, user permission or consent is required, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data need to comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions.

[0031] Figure 1 The flowchart of the control method of a multi-split air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. The execution subject of the control method of the multi-split air conditioner can be any server with processing capabilities, and the server can be a cloud server, a physical server or a server cluster.

[0032] Figure 2 The schematic diagram shows the architecture of a control system for a multi-split air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 The control system of the multi-split air conditioner may include a multi-split air conditioner 210, a terminal 220 and a server 230, wherein the multi-split air conditioner 210 may include a plurality of air conditioner indoor units 211, each of which may be provided with a detector 212, wherein the terminal 220 may configure the multi-split air conditioner 210 so that the plurality of air conditioner indoor units may be connected to the server 230 respectively. The terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet, a television and the like.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the multi-split air conditioner may include steps S110 to S140. The multi-split air conditioner includes a plurality of air conditioner indoor units, each of which is provided with a detector, and the plurality of air conditioner indoor units are respectively connected to a server.

[0034] Step S110, obtaining the installation data of each of the air conditioner indoor units detected by the detector and the relative layout data between the indoor units, and obtaining the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each of the air conditioner indoor units;

[0035] Step S120, analyzing the installation data of the air conditioner and the relative layout data between the indoor units to obtain the indoor units of the air conditioners that have air outlet interference with each other and the air outlet parameters of the indoor units when there is air outlet interference;

[0036] Step S130, analyzing the indoor unit characteristic parameters and the indoor unit air outlet parameters of the air conditioner indoor unit with air outlet interference to obtain a balanced air outlet control parameter;

[0037] Step S140, sending the balanced air outlet control parameter to the indoor air conditioner with air outlet interference, so as to control the indoor air conditioner with air outlet interference to evenly outlet air in the space.

[0038] The detectors provided on each of the air conditioner indoor units may be sensors for detecting data such as distance and orientation, and the detectors may be ultrasonic sensors or laser radar sensors. In one embodiment of the present application, the detectors provided on each of the air conditioner indoor units are specifically ultrasonic sensors, and the ultrasonic sensors provided on each of the air conditioner indoor units may obtain the installation data of the unit through reflection detection of the signal on a plane such as a wall or the ground, and obtain the relative layout data between the indoor units through signal interaction detection of the ultrasonic sensors between the indoor units of the air conditioner.

[0039] Each air conditioner indoor unit 211 can detect the installation data of the unit and the relative layout data between the indoor units through the detector 212, and then each air conditioner indoor unit 211 can directly upload the detected installation data of the unit and the relative layout data between the indoor units to the server 230, or each air conditioner indoor unit 211 can indirectly upload the detected installation data of the unit and the relative layout data between the indoor units to the server 230 through the terminal 220. Each air conditioner indoor unit 211 can also directly upload its own indoor unit characteristic parameters to the server 230, or upload the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each air conditioner indoor unit 211 to the server 230 through the terminal 220.

[0040] Thus, the server can obtain the local installation data of each air-conditioning indoor unit detected by the detector and the relative layout data between the indoor units, and the server can also obtain the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each air-conditioning indoor unit. Among them, the local installation data detected by each air-conditioning indoor unit may include data such as the installation height and / or the distance from the wall. The relative layout data between the indoor units detected by each air-conditioning indoor unit may include data such as the relative distance and relative orientation between the air-conditioning indoor unit and other adjacent air-conditioning indoor units. The indoor unit characteristic parameters of the air-conditioning indoor unit may include parameters such as the indoor unit model, indoor unit function (for example, whether it supports left and right air sweeping, up and down air sweeping, etc.), indoor unit identification, and operating status.

[0041] The server analyzes the local installation data and the relative layout data between the indoor units to obtain the indoor units of the air conditioners that have air outlet interference among the multiple indoor units of the air conditioners and the air outlet parameters of the indoor units when there is air outlet interference, wherein the indoor units of the air conditioners that have air outlet interference may specifically be the indoor units of the air conditioners whose air outlet coverage areas overlap with each other. The indoor unit air outlet parameters when there is air outlet interference between two indoor units of the air conditioners, i.e., the operating parameters of the two indoor units of the air conditioners when air outlet interference occurs between the two indoor units of the air conditioners, for example, when air conditioner a is located in the upper swing wind position and air conditioner b is located in the middle, upper or uppermost swing wind position, there will be an intersection of air duct coverage between them, and at this time, the operating parameters of air conditioners a and air conditioners b are the indoor unit air outlet parameters when there is air outlet interference.

[0042] Furthermore, the server performs analysis based on the indoor unit characteristic parameters of the air conditioner indoor unit with air outlet interference and the indoor unit air outlet parameters to obtain balanced air outlet control parameters. For example, the server performs analysis based on the indoor unit air outlet parameters of air conditioners a and air conditioners b when there is air outlet interference and the indoor unit characteristic parameters of air conditioners a and air conditioners b to obtain balanced air outlet control parameters.

[0043] The balanced air outlet control parameters are operating parameters used to control the indoor units of air conditioners with air outlet interference to avoid air outlet interference. The server sends the balanced air outlet control parameters to the indoor units of air conditioners with air outlet interference. The indoor units of air conditioners with air outlet interference can be controlled to evenly exhaust air in the space, thereby improving the air outlet balance control effect of the multi-split air conditioner and improving the user experience.

[0044] In summary, in this manner of the embodiments of the present application, detectors are set on each indoor unit of the multi-split air conditioner to detect the local installation data and the relative layout data between the indoor units. The server analyzes the local installation data, the relative layout data between the indoor units and the indoor characteristic parameters of the air conditioner to obtain balanced air outlet control parameters. The balanced air outlet control parameters can control the indoor units of the air conditioners with air outlet interference to have balanced air outlet in the space. Therefore, each indoor unit of the multi-split air conditioner can be installed in the installation space according to the actual space conditions, and can also effectively achieve balanced air outlet control. On the whole, it can effectively improve the air outlet balance control effect of the multi-split air conditioner and improve the user experience.

[0045] Described below Figure 1 When the multi-split air conditioner is regulated under the embodiment, further optional specific embodiments are provided under each step performed.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 , the analysis based on the local installation data and the relative layout data between the indoor units to obtain the indoor units of the air conditioners that have air outlet interference among the multiple indoor units of the air conditioners and the air outlet parameters of the indoor units when there is air outlet interference may specifically include:

[0047] Step S310, analyzing based on the local installation data and the relative layout data between the indoor units to obtain the relative installation distance and relative installation angle between the adjacent air-conditioning indoor units among the multiple air-conditioning indoor units; Step S320, acquiring the standard distance between the adjacent air-conditioning indoor units among the multiple air-conditioning indoor units; Step S330, determining the adjacent air-conditioning indoor units whose relative installation distance is smaller than the standard distance as candidate interference indoor units; Step S340, analyzing based on the relative installation angles and air outlet coverage ranges of the air-conditioning indoor units included in the candidate interference indoor units to obtain the air-conditioning indoor units with which there is air outlet interference and the air outlet parameters of the indoor units when there is air outlet interference.

[0048] The local installation data detected by each air conditioner indoor unit may include data such as installation height and / or distance from the wall. The relative layout data between indoor units detected by each air conditioner indoor unit may include data such as relative distance and relative orientation between the air conditioner indoor unit and other adjacent air conditioner indoor units, so that the relative installation spacing and relative installation angle between adjacent air conditioner indoor units among the multiple air conditioner indoor units can be obtained through analysis based on the local installation data and the relative layout data between indoor units.

[0049] Furthermore, the standard spacing between adjacent air conditioners among the multiple air conditioners can be obtained, and if the relative installation distance between air conditioner 1 and air conditioner 2 is less than the standard spacing between air conditioner 1 and air conditioner 2, it means that there is a possibility of air outlet interference between air conditioner 1 and air conditioner 2. Adjacent air conditioners whose relative installation spacing is less than the standard spacing are determined as candidate interference units, and the candidate interference units can be further analyzed to determine the air conditioners whose air outlets interfere with each other when actually used.

[0050] Furthermore, by analyzing the relative installation angles and air outlet coverage ranges of the air-conditioning indoor units included in the candidate interfering indoor units, the air-conditioning indoor units with which there is air outlet interference (the air-conditioning indoor units with overlapping air outlet coverage areas) and the air outlet parameters of the indoor units when there is air outlet interference can be accurately obtained.

[0051] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the obtaining of the standard spacing between adjacent indoor air-conditioning units among the multiple indoor air-conditioning units may specifically include: obtaining indoor unit information groups of adjacent indoor air-conditioning units among the multiple indoor air-conditioning units from indoor unit characteristic parameters of each indoor air-conditioning unit; and querying the standard spacing matching the indoor unit information groups of the adjacent indoor air-conditioning units from a preset spacing table to obtain the standard spacing between adjacent indoor air-conditioning units among the multiple indoor air-conditioning units.

[0052] From the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each air-conditioning indoor unit, the indoor unit information group of adjacent air-conditioning indoor units among multiple air-conditioning indoor units is obtained. For example, the models or identifications of air-conditioning indoor units 1 and 2 can be obtained from the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each air-conditioning indoor unit to form the indoor unit information group of air-conditioning indoor units 1 and 2.

[0053] A preset spacing table can be stored in the server, and the preset spacing table can record the standard spacings corresponding to the indoor unit information groups of different air-conditioning indoor unit combinations. The standard spacings matching the indoor unit information groups of adjacent air-conditioning indoor units can be queried from the preset spacing table, thereby obtaining the standard spacings between all adjacent air-conditioning indoor units among multiple air-conditioning indoor units.

[0054] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the indoor unit characteristic parameters of the indoor unit of the air-conditioning unit with air outlet interference include the indoor unit function and operating status; the indoor unit air outlet parameters of the indoor unit of the air-conditioning unit with air outlet interference include the indoor unit installation height and the wind swing angle when there is air outlet interference; the analysis based on the indoor unit characteristic parameters and the indoor unit air outlet parameters of the indoor unit of the air-conditioning unit with air outlet interference to obtain balanced air outlet control parameters may include: inputting the indoor unit function, operating status, indoor unit installation height and wind swing angle of the indoor unit of the air-conditioning unit with air outlet interference into a preset multi-split air conditioner adjustment model to obtain the balanced air outlet control parameters output by the preset multi-split air conditioner adjustment model.

[0055] The preset multi-split air conditioning adjustment model is a pre-trained AI model for analyzing balanced air outlet control parameters. For example, a large language model can be fine-tuned and trained as the preset multi-split air conditioning adjustment model, or a convolutional neural network can be trained and used as the preset multi-split air conditioning adjustment model. It is understandable that the preset multi-split air conditioning adjustment model can also be obtained by training other optional neural network models.

[0056] The indoor unit characteristic parameters of the indoor unit of the air conditioner with air outlet interference include the indoor unit function and operation status; the indoor unit air outlet parameters of the indoor unit of the air conditioner with air outlet interference include the indoor unit installation height and the swing angle when the air outlet interference exists. By inputting the indoor unit function, operation status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle of the indoor unit of the air conditioner with air outlet interference into the preset multi-split air conditioner adjustment model, the balanced air outlet control parameters output by the preset multi-split air conditioner adjustment model can be accurately and efficiently obtained.

[0057] In one embodiment, the large language model is fine-tuned and trained as a preset multi-split air conditioning adjustment model. The indoor unit function, operating status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle of the air-conditioning indoor unit with air outlet interference when there is air outlet interference can be directly input into the preset multi-split air conditioning adjustment model for analysis to obtain the output balanced air outlet control parameters.

[0058] Furthermore, in one embodiment, inputting the indoor unit function, operating status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle of the indoor unit of the air-conditioning unit with air outlet interference into a preset multi-split air-conditioning adjustment model may include: performing feature coding processing on the indoor unit function, operating status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle of the indoor unit of the air-conditioning unit with air outlet interference to obtain multi-dimensional features of each indoor unit of the air-conditioning unit; obtaining input features based on the multi-dimensional features of each indoor unit of the air-conditioning unit; and inputting the input features into the preset multi-split air-conditioning adjustment model.

[0059] The multi-dimensional data of the indoor unit function, operation status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle of the air conditioner indoor unit with air outlet interference are subjected to feature coding processing to obtain the multi-dimensional features of each air conditioner indoor unit. The multi-dimensional features are feature vectors of multiple dimensions, which can be subjected to feature coding processing through a preset coding network (such as a convolutional network) to obtain the multi-dimensional features of each air conditioner indoor unit with air outlet interference.

[0060] Input features are obtained based on the multi-dimensional features of each air-conditioning indoor unit, and the input features are then input into a preset multi-split air-conditioning adjustment model. The preset multi-split air-conditioning adjustment model can analyze the input features and output balanced air outlet control parameters efficiently and accurately.

[0061] In one embodiment, obtaining the input features based on the multi-dimensional features of each air-conditioning indoor unit may include: fusing the multi-dimensional features of adjacent air-conditioning indoor units respectively to obtain multiple groups of fused features; and splicing the multiple groups of fused features to obtain the input features.

[0062] For example, the multi-dimensional features of the adjacent air conditioner indoor units 1 and 2 are fused to obtain the first group of fused features, and the multi-dimensional features of the adjacent air conditioner indoor units 3 and 4 are fused to obtain the second group of fused features. Then, the multiple groups of fused features are spliced ​​into a string of features as input features. Since the multi-dimensional features of the adjacent air conditioner indoor units are fused respectively, the input features are input into the preset multi-split air conditioner adjustment model and can be used for parameter analysis more accurately.

[0063] Furthermore, the multi-dimensional features of adjacent air conditioner indoor units are fused respectively to obtain multiple groups of fused features, which can be specifically: obtaining the predetermined usage weight of each space indoor unit in the adjacent air conditioner indoor units, and then weighted summing the multi-dimensional features of each space indoor unit in the adjacent air conditioner indoor units with the predetermined usage weight to obtain the fused features of the adjacent air conditioner indoor units, thereby obtaining multiple groups of fused features. By weighted fusion of the predetermined usage weight of each space indoor unit in the adjacent air conditioner indoor units, the preset multi-split air conditioner adjustment model can use the input feature to perform parameter analysis more accurately.

[0064] In one embodiment, the input feature is obtained based on the multi-dimensional features of each air-conditioning indoor unit, including: obtaining user location information detected by the air-conditioning indoor unit with air outlet interference; performing feature encoding processing on the user location information detected by each air-conditioning indoor unit with air outlet interference to obtain user location features corresponding to each air-conditioning indoor unit with air outlet interference; and fusing the user location features and multi-dimensional features corresponding to each air-conditioning indoor unit with air outlet interference to obtain the input feature.

[0065] The air conditioner indoor unit can detect the user location information of the users in the area it covers by infrared sensing and other means, and the user location information detected by each air conditioner indoor unit is feature-encoded into a feature vector as the user location feature corresponding to each air conditioner indoor unit. The user location feature corresponding to each air conditioner indoor unit is fused with the multi-dimensional feature to obtain the input feature, so that the preset multi-split air conditioner adjustment model can use the input feature to more reasonably and accurately analyze and output the balanced air control parameters for balanced air control and ensure user experience.

[0066] Furthermore, the user position features and multi-dimensional features corresponding to each air-conditioning indoor unit with air outlet interference are respectively fused to obtain the input features, which may include: adding the user position features and multi-dimensional features corresponding to each air-conditioning indoor unit with air outlet interference to obtain the superimposed features corresponding to each air-conditioning indoor unit with air outlet interference, and then connecting the superimposed features corresponding to each air-conditioning indoor unit with air outlet interference in series to obtain the input features.
