Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, users have higher and higher demands for intelligent home appliances. As a large household appliance commonly used in households, the intelligent control of air conditioners can significantly improve user experience.

[0003] As we all know, the function of air conditioning is to regulate indoor air, including cooling or heating regulation. The air conditioner is equipped with a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system, and the indoor unit of the air conditioner is equipped with a fan and an indoor heat exchanger. Under the forced action of the fan, the indoor air enters the indoor unit, exchanges heat with the indoor heat exchanger to form cold air or hot air, and then blows into the room. Under the action of the fan, the cold air or hot air diffuses in the room to achieve cooling or heating of the indoor environment.

[0004] In this process, the temperature of the cold air should be significantly lower than the cooling target temperature, and the temperature of the hot air should be significantly higher than the heating target temperature. In some cases, users do not want to be blown directly by cold or hot air. In other cases, users may want to be blown directly by cold or hot air. Whether the air supply avoids the user or follows the user, intelligent control of the air conditioner is required.

[0005] Therefore, how to achieve intelligent control of air supply by air conditioners has become an important topic in the air conditioning field. Summary of the invention

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a control method for an air conditioner, an air conditioner and a computer-readable storage medium that can overcome the above problems or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to realize intelligent adjustment of the air supply direction of the air conditioner and improve the user experience.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to reduce unnecessary judgment process about the user's position.

[0009] In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0010] Receive a trigger signal for starting the intelligent air supply mode;

[0011] Get the distance between indoor users and air conditioners;

[0012] Determining whether the distance falls within a preset distance range;

[0013] If yes, obtaining the current position of the user relative to the air conditioner; and

[0014] The air supply direction of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the current orientation.

[0015] Optionally, in the air conditioner control method, the step of “obtaining the distance between the indoor user and the air conditioner” includes:

[0016] The ultrasonic module controlling the air conditioner detects the distance between the indoor user and the air conditioner and obtains the distance.

[0017] Optionally, in the air conditioner control method, the step of “obtaining a current position of a user relative to the air conditioner” includes:

[0018] A sound source localization module controlling the air conditioner receives a sound emitted by a user;

[0019] The sound source positioning module determines the current position of the user relative to the air conditioner according to the sound emitted by the user;

[0020] The current position of the user relative to the air conditioner is obtained from the sound source localization module.

[0021] Optionally, in the air conditioner control method, the step of “controlling a sound source localization module of the air conditioner to receive a sound emitted by a user” includes:

[0022] Receive voice commands or footsteps from the user.

[0023] Optionally, in the air conditioner control method, the step of “adjusting the air supply direction of the air conditioner according to the current orientation” includes:

[0024] The air conditioner is made to supply air away from human bodies.

[0025] Optionally, in the air conditioner control method, the step of “adjusting the air supply direction of the air conditioner according to the current orientation” includes:

[0026] The air conditioner is made to supply air following the human body.

[0027] Optionally, in the air conditioner control method, after the step of “obtaining the distance between the indoor user and the air conditioner”, the following steps are further included:

[0028] The air volume of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the distance.

[0029] Optionally, in the air conditioner control method, after the step of “determining whether the distance falls within a preset distance range”, the method further includes:

[0030] If not, the air conditioner is enabled to sweep the air.

[0031] On the other hand, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, including a controller, the controller including a memory and a processor, the memory storing a computer program, and the computer program is used to implement the control method according to any one of the above items when executed by the processor.

[0032] In yet another aspect, the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program implements any of the control methods described above when executed by a processor.

[0033] The air conditioner of the present invention has an intelligent air supply mode, which adjusts the air supply direction of the air conditioner by detecting the distance between the user and the air conditioner and the current position of the user, thereby achieving the air supply effect of following the human body or avoiding the human body, realizing the intelligent adjustment of the air supply direction and improving the user experience.

[0034] In particular, in the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention, the air conditioner does not detect the distance between the user and the air conditioner and the current position of the user at the same time, but first detects the distance between the user and the air conditioner. When the distance falls within the preset distance range of the air conditioner, the current position of the user is detected, and the air supply direction of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the current position to follow the human body or avoid the human body. Because if the distance between the user and the air conditioner is too far, the air supply airflow of the air conditioner is already very weak when it arrives here, and the user's wind feeling here is very weak. It is not very meaningful to adjust the air supply direction according to the user's position, but it makes the air conditioner perform a lot of unnecessary "position detection" processes.

[0035] Furthermore, the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention utilizes an ultrasonic module to detect the distance between the user and the air conditioner, and utilizes a sound source positioning module to obtain the user's current position. Both detection modules can maximize their own advantages, thereby making the distance detection and position detection more accurate and the overall cost of the air conditioner lower.

[0047] One aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner.

[0048] The air conditioner is used to regulate indoor air, including regulating the temperature, humidity, and air quality of the air, humidifying and dehumidifying the indoor air, introducing fresh air, etc. The air conditioner can form a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system consisting of an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, a throttling device, a four-way valve, and other necessary components to output cold air / hot air through the fan 400 to achieve cooling and heating of the indoor environment.

[0050] Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention may generally include a controller 800. The controller 800 includes a processor 810 and a memory 820. The memory 820 stores a computer program 821. When the computer program 821 is executed by the processor 810, it is used to implement the control method of the air conditioner of any of the following embodiments of the present invention.

[0052] The processor 810 may be a central processing unit (CPU), or a digital processing unit, etc. The processor 810 sends and receives data via a communication interface. The memory 820 is used to store programs executed by the processor 810. The memory 820 is any medium that can be used to carry or store desired program codes in the form of instructions or data structures and can be accessed by a computer, and may also be a combination of multiple memories 820. The above-mentioned computer program 821 can be downloaded from a computer-readable storage medium to a corresponding computing / processing device or downloaded and installed to the controller 800 via a network (e.g., the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network, and / or a wireless network).

[0053] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium.

[0054] Figure 2 is a schematic block diagram of a computer-readable storage medium according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the computer-readable storage medium 700 of the embodiment of the present invention stores a computer program 821, and when the computer program 821 is executed, the device where the computer-readable storage medium 700 is located executes the air conditioning control method of any embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] The computer-readable storage medium 700 of the embodiment of the present invention may be an electronic memory such as a flash memory, an EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory), an EPROM, a hard disk or a ROM. The computer-readable storage medium 700 has a storage space for a computer program 821 for executing any method steps in the air conditioning control method of the embodiment of the present invention. These computer programs 821 can be read from or written to one or more computer program products. These computer program products include program code carriers such as a hard disk, a compact disk (CD), a memory card or a floppy disk. When the device where the computer-readable storage medium 700 is located runs the above-mentioned computer program 821, each step in the method described in the present invention can be executed.

[0057] It should be understood that the various parts of the present invention can be implemented by hardware, software, firmware or a combination thereof. In the above-mentioned embodiments, a plurality of steps or methods can be implemented by software or firmware stored in a memory and executed by a suitable instruction execution system. For example, if implemented by hardware, as in another embodiment, it can be implemented by any one of the following technologies known in the art or their combination: a discrete logic circuit having a logic gate circuit for implementing a logic function for a data signal, a dedicated integrated circuit having a suitable combination of logic gate circuits, a programmable gate array (PGA), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), etc.

[0058] The invention also provides a method for controlling an air conditioner.

[0059] The air conditioner is the air conditioner of any of the above embodiments of the present invention. The control method of any embodiment of the present invention is described from the controller 800 side, that is, the controller 800 executes the relevant steps of the control method, which will not be emphasized below.

[0060] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner control method of the embodiment of the present invention may generally include the following steps:

[0062] Step S302: receiving a trigger signal for starting the intelligent air supply mode.

[0063] Step S304: Obtain the distance between the indoor user and the air conditioner.

[0064] Step S306: Determine whether the distance falls within a preset distance range. If so, execute step S308; if not, return to execute step S304.

[0065] Step S308: Obtain the current position of the user relative to the air conditioner.

[0066] Step S310: Adjust the air supply direction of the air conditioner according to the current position.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the above step S302, the trigger signal of the intelligent air supply mode can be sent by the user in a variety of different ways. For example, the user can send a trigger signal through a display device or a voice device on the air conditioner. Alternatively, the user can send a trigger signal through a remote control configured for the air conditioner. Alternatively, the user can also send a trigger signal through a mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner. The mobile terminal can specifically be a smart device that is easy to move, such as a smart phone, a smart tablet, a bracelet, or other wearable devices.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the above step S304, the air conditioner can use a distance sensor to detect the distance between the indoor user and the air conditioner to form detection data. The detection can be set to be performed every preset time, and the preset time is, for example, 2s. The controller 800 of the air conditioner receives the distance data sent by the distance sensor. During the actual detection process of the air conditioner, the distance between the user and the distance sensor can be used as the distance between the indoor user and the air conditioner. The distance sensor can detect the distance using the principles of radar ranging, infrared ranging, ultrasonic ranging, etc. These principles are all existing technologies and will not be repeated here.

[0069] The specific location of the distance sensor is related to the main air supply direction of the air conditioner. For example, a floor-standing air conditioner or a wall-mounted air conditioner mainly supplies air to the front, and also supplies air to the left and right sides, but not to the back. Therefore, the distance sensor can be placed on the front panel of the air conditioner to mainly detect the activities of users in front of the air conditioner.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the above step S306, the "preset distance range" is a preset value and is stored in the memory 820 of the controller 800. The specific value of the "preset distance range" can be reasonably set according to the air supply capacity of the air conditioner. A preferred setting principle is: outside the preset distance range, the wind force of the air supply airflow of the air conditioner should be attenuated to a weaker level, so that the human body feels very light wind and cannot feel too much wind force, so the human body here does not pay attention to the air supply direction, so there is no need to perform special air supply design for the human body here.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the above step S308, the current position of the user may be detected by sound source localization. Sound source localization refers to collecting the sound emitted by the user, finding the sound source, and determining the user's position.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the above step S310, adjusting the air supply direction of the air conditioner according to the current orientation includes the following methods:

[0073] (1) Make the air conditioner avoid the human body to supply air, thus achieving the effect of preventing direct blowing.

[0074] (2) Make the air conditioner follow the human body to deliver air, that is, make the air conditioner follow the movement of the person.

[0075] (3) In addition, the air conditioner can always deliver air toward the space around the user, achieving a very obvious cooling / heating effect without direct blowing.

[0076] The "intelligent air supply mode" can only set one of the above air supply modes. For example, only "avoiding human body air supply" is set, and the control terminal of the air conditioner (such as a remote control, a display device, a mobile terminal, etc.) displays a button with "anti-direct blowing" or similar words. After the user presses this button, the air conditioner enters the above "intelligent air supply mode", so that the air conditioner avoids human body air supply and achieves the effect of preventing direct blowing.

[0077] Alternatively, only the "follow human body air supply" air supply mode is set. The control terminal of the air conditioner (such as a remote control, a display device, a mobile terminal, etc.) displays a button with "follow" or similar words. After the user presses this button, the air conditioner enters the above-mentioned "intelligent air supply mode", so that the air conditioner follows the human body to supply air, achieving the air supply effect of wind following the movement of the person.

[0078] Alternatively, the "intelligent air supply mode" of the air conditioner can set multiple air supply modes at the same time, and the control terminal of the air conditioner (such as a remote control, a display device, a mobile terminal) has multiple function buttons accordingly, and the user presses different buttons to control the air conditioner to enter the corresponding type of "intelligent air supply mode".

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the above step S310, the air conditioner may further include an air guide component 300. The air guide component 300 is disposed at the air outlet of the air conditioner and is used to adjust the air supply direction of the air conditioner. The motor of the air guide component 300 is connected to the controller 800 signal and is used to receive the control of the controller 800 so that the controller 800 can adjust the air supply direction of the air outlet according to demand.

[0080] Specifically, the air guide component 300 can be in the form of an air guide plate, an air guide blade, etc., which are all existing technologies in the field of air conditioning and will not be introduced in detail here.

[0081] The air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention has an intelligent air supply mode. By detecting the distance between the user and the air conditioner and the current position of the user, the air supply direction of the air conditioner is adjusted to achieve the air supply effect of following the human body or avoiding the human body, thereby realizing the intelligent adjustment of the air supply direction and improving the user experience.

[0082] In particular, in the control method of the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner does not detect the distance between the user and the air conditioner and the current position of the user at the same time. Instead, the distance between the user and the air conditioner is detected first, and when the distance falls within the preset distance range, the current position of the user is detected, and the air supply direction of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the current position to follow the human body or avoid the human body. Because if the distance between the user and the air conditioner is too far, the air supply airflow of the air conditioner is already very weak when it arrives here, and the user's wind feeling here is very weak. It is not very meaningful to adjust the air supply direction according to the user's position, but it causes the air conditioner to perform a lot of unnecessary "position detection" processes.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner further includes an ultrasonic module 100. In the air conditioner control method, the step of "obtaining the distance between the indoor user and the air conditioner" includes: obtaining the distance between the indoor user and the air conditioner from the ultrasonic module 100 of the air conditioner.

[0084] Specifically, the ultrasonic module 100 may include an ultrasonic transmitter and an ultrasonic receiver. The ultrasonic transmitter is controlled to send ultrasonic waves to the user to be blown, and the ultrasonic receiver is controlled to receive the reflected ultrasonic signal to determine the distance between the user and the user. The ultrasonic module 100 is connected to the controller 800 by signal so as to transmit the distance data to the controller 800.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner further includes a sound source localization module 200. In the air conditioner control method, the step of "obtaining the current position of the user relative to the air conditioner" includes:

[0086] The sound source localization module 200 for controlling the air conditioner receives the sound emitted by the user; this step specifically includes: receiving the voice command or footsteps emitted by the user, and also includes other sounds emitted by the user. The voice command refers to the sound emitted by the user for controlling the operating state of the air conditioner, including turning on the machine, adjusting the temperature, adjusting the wind speed, etc.

[0087] The sound source localization module 200 determines the current position of the user relative to the air conditioner according to the sound emitted by the user;

[0088] The current position of the user relative to the air conditioner is acquired from the sound source localization module 200 .

[0089] The sound source localization module 200 can receive sound signals and determine the source of the sound. The specific principle is the existing technology and will not be repeated here.

[0090] In some optional embodiments, higher technical effects can be achieved by further optimizing and configuring the above steps. The control method of an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below in combination with an introduction to an optional execution process of an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is only an example of the execution process. During the specific implementation, the execution order and operating conditions of some steps can be modified according to the specific implementation requirements.

[0091] Figure 4 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0092] like Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner control method of this embodiment of the present invention generally performs the following steps in sequence:

[0093] Step S402: receiving a trigger signal for starting the intelligent air supply mode.

[0094] Step S404: The ultrasonic module 100 of the air conditioner is controlled to detect the distance between the indoor user and the air conditioner, and obtain the distance.

[0095] Step S406: Determine whether the distance falls within a preset distance range, if so, execute step S408. If not, return to execute step S404.

[0096] Step S408: Control the sound source localization module 200 of the air conditioner to receive the sound emitted by the user. Step S410: Enable the sound source localization module 200 to determine the current position of the user relative to the air conditioner according to the sound emitted by the user.

[0097] Step S412: Acquire the current position of the user relative to the air conditioner from the sound source localization module 200.

[0098] Step S414: Adjust the air supply direction of the air conditioner according to the current position. The control method of the air conditioner of the present invention uses the ultrasonic module 100 to detect the distance between the user and the air conditioner, and uses the sound source positioning module 200 to obtain the current position of the user. Both detection modules can maximize their own advantages, so that the accuracy of distance detection and position detection is higher, and the overall cost of the air conditioner is lower.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the air conditioner control method, after the step of "obtaining the distance between the indoor user and the air conditioner", the step also includes: adjusting the air volume of the air conditioner according to the distance so that the air volume can match the user's needs.

[0100] Specifically, the air volume of the air conditioner can be increased as the distance increases, so that users who are far away from the air conditioner can better feel the cooling / heating effect.

[0101] In some embodiments, the air conditioner may include a fan 400 , and the air volume of the air conditioner may be adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed of the fan 400 .

[0102] In some optional embodiments, higher technical effects can be achieved by further optimizing and configuring the above steps. The control method of an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below in combination with an introduction to an optional execution process of an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is only an example of the execution process. During the specific implementation, the execution order and operating conditions of some steps can be modified according to the specific implementation requirements.

[0103] Figure 5 is a flow chart of a method for controlling an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0104] like Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner control method of this embodiment of the present invention generally performs the following steps in sequence:

[0105] Step S502: receiving a trigger signal for starting the intelligent air supply mode.

[0106] Step S504: Obtain the distance between the indoor user and the air conditioner. After step S504, execute steps S506 and S512.

[0107] Step S506: Determine whether the distance falls within a preset distance range. If so, execute step S508; if not, return to execute step S504.

[0108] Step S508: Obtain the current position of the user relative to the air conditioner.

[0109] Step S510: adjusting the air supply direction of the air conditioner according to the current position.

[0110] Step S512: Adjust the air volume of the air conditioner according to the distance.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the air conditioner control method, after the step of "determining whether the distance falls within the preset distance range", the step further includes: if not, enabling the air conditioner to sweep the air.

[0112] Specifically, the air can be swept by the air guide member 300 of the air conditioner. For example, for a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, the air guide plate can be used to sweep the air up and down, and the swing blade can be used to sweep the air left and right.

[0113] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present invention can still be directly determined or derived based on the content disclosed in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all these other variations or modifications.
