Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical control technology, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for controlling the energy consumption of a portable air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Portable air conditioners can cool the air inside tents, improving comfort during outdoor camping. However, because air conditioners are often used for extended periods, typically exceeding 5 hours, their energy consumption is relatively high. The water pump motor in an air conditioner can increase water-cooled heat exchange, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency and increasing the air conditioner's energy efficiency. The water pump motor can be used to adjust the air conditioner's cooling efficiency, appropriately reducing the compressor's frequency or operating time, thus lowering overall energy consumption to some extent. However, the water pump motor's adjustment function is affected by environmental factors. Blindly using the water pump motor to increase the air conditioner's cooling efficiency may not only fail to improve cooling but also increase additional energy consumption and noise, negatively impacting the user experience.

[0033] The methods and embodiments provided in this invention can be executed on a mobile terminal, a computer terminal, or a similar computing device.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method embodiment for energy consumption control of a portable air conditioner is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of an energy consumption control method for a portable air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0037] Step S202: During the operation of the portable air conditioner according to the preset mode parameters, the current air humidity of the target environment where the portable air conditioner is located and the current status of the water pump motor in the portable air conditioner are obtained at a first predetermined time interval. The water pump motor is a motor installed below the condenser in the portable air conditioner and is used to adjust the heat exchange efficiency of the portable air conditioner.

[0038] In this embodiment, during the operation of the portable air conditioner (hereinafter referred to as the air conditioner), the current air humidity of the environment where the air conditioner is located and the current state of the water pump motor in the air conditioner (i.e., whether the water pump motor is currently in the off state or the on state, and whether its speed meets the requirement of not exceeding the preset speed threshold when it is in the on state, etc.) can be obtained at certain time intervals (i.e., the first predetermined time interval mentioned above) to provide a data basis for subsequent control of the air conditioner.

[0039] It should be noted that the energy consumption control method for portable air conditioners provided in the embodiments of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, portable air conditioners.

[0040] Step S204: Determine whether the current energy consumption of the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements based on the current air humidity and current status, and obtain the determination result.

[0041] In this embodiment, the current energy consumption of the air conditioner can be determined based on the current air humidity and the current state of the water pump motor to determine whether the current energy consumption of the air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements, and the determination result can be obtained; the preset energy consumption requirements refer to the low energy consumption range that the air conditioner may be in during its current operating state when the energy is depleted.

[0042] Step S206: If the judgment result indicates that the current energy consumption meets the preset energy consumption requirements, control the portable air conditioner to operate according to the current operating state.

[0043] In this embodiment, if the determination result indicates that the current energy consumption of the air conditioner meets the preset low energy consumption range for the current operating state, it means that there is no need to adjust the operating state of the air conditioner to reduce energy consumption, and the air conditioner can continue to operate according to the current operating state.

[0044] Step S208: If the judgment result indicates that the current energy consumption does not meet the preset energy consumption requirements, control the water pump motor to adjust the state so that the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements in the adjusted target current energy consumption.

[0045] In this embodiment, if the judgment result indicates that the current energy consumption of the air conditioner is higher than the maximum energy consumption range of the low energy consumption range under the current operating state, it means that the operating state of the air conditioner needs to be adjusted to reduce energy consumption. The water pump motor in the air conditioner can be controlled to adjust its state so that the energy consumption of the air conditioner after adjustment can be within the low energy consumption range of the current operating state, thereby avoiding the waste of resources caused by high energy consumption, and also avoiding the air conditioner emitting high noise, thus improving the user's comfort experience.

[0046] As described above, the technical solution provided by the above embodiments of the present invention can acquire the current air humidity of the target environment where the portable air conditioner is located and the current state of the water pump motor in the portable air conditioner at a first predetermined time interval during the operation of the portable air conditioner according to the preset mode parameters. The water pump motor is a motor installed below the condenser in the portable air conditioner and is used to adjust the heat exchange efficiency of the portable air conditioner. Based on the current air humidity and the current state, it is determined whether the current energy consumption of the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements, and a judgment result is obtained. If the judgment result indicates that the current energy consumption meets the preset energy consumption requirements, the portable air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the current operating state. If the judgment result indicates that the current energy consumption does not meet the preset energy consumption requirements, the water pump motor is controlled to adjust its state so that the current energy consumption of the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements after adjustment. This achieves the purpose of judging whether the energy consumption of the portable air conditioner meets the preset requirements by monitoring the current air humidity and the current state of the water pump motor, and controlling the operation of the air conditioner according to the judgment result. It realizes the technical effect of adjusting the state of the water pump motor according to the air humidity to avoid excessive energy consumption of the air conditioner, which not only reduces the overall energy consumption of the air conditioner, but also effectively controls the noise of the air conditioner.

[0047] Therefore, the technical solution provided by the above embodiments of the present invention solves the technical problem in the related art that the influence of environmental factors was not taken into account when adjusting the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner by controlling the water pump motor, resulting in high energy consumption of the air conditioner and affecting the user experience.

[0048] The following is combined with Figure 3 The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of an optional energy consumption control method for a portable air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, when users need to use the air conditioner for cooling, they can choose to turn on the cooling mode and select the air outlet baffle and set the air outlet temperature according to their own needs. The parameters set by the user are the preset mode parameters of the air conditioner. During the operation of the air conditioner according to the preset mode parameters, the current air humidity of the environment where the air conditioner is located and the current status of the water pump motor in the air conditioner can be obtained at certain time intervals to provide a data basis for subsequent control of the air conditioner.

[0050] The data acquisition frequency here can be once every 3 minutes (of course, other frequencies can be used depending on the actual situation, without specific restrictions). Since the human body is not sensitive to subtle changes in air humidity, and the water pump does not need to be switched on and off frequently, the detection does not need to be very frequent. If the air humidity fluctuates within a slight range, frequent detection will cause the water pump to switch on and off frequently, affecting the user experience.

[0051] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, determining whether the current energy consumption of a portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements based on the current air humidity and the current state, and obtaining a determination result, includes: comparing the current air humidity with a preset humidity threshold to obtain a comparison result; if the comparison result indicates that the current air humidity is greater than the preset humidity threshold and the current state indicates that the water pump motor is in the off state, or if the comparison result indicates that the current air humidity is not greater than the preset humidity threshold and the current state indicates that the water pump motor is in the on state, then determining that the current energy consumption of the portable air conditioner does not meet the preset energy consumption requirements; if the comparison result indicates that the current air humidity is not greater than the preset humidity threshold and the current state indicates that the water pump motor is in the off state, then determining that the current energy consumption of the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements.

[0052] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that when the air humidity is greater than 40% (40% is used as the preset humidity threshold for explanation; currently, other humidity values ​​can also be selected as the preset humidity threshold, and no specific restrictions are made here), the water pump motor needs to be turned on; when the air humidity is not greater than 40%, the water pump motor does not need to be turned on. This is because the function of the water pump motor is to handle the condensate produced during the operation of the air conditioner. By circulating the condensate back to the condenser or draining it, it avoids excessive water accumulation that may affect the operation of the air conditioner or trigger the water full protection. When the air humidity is low, even if the water pump motor is turned off, the problem of condensate accumulation is not significant and will not affect the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner. While the cooling capacity and efficiency are significantly affected, this can actually lead to increased energy consumption and noise in the air conditioner, so it needs to be turned off. In high humidity conditions, the air conditioner produces a lot of condensate during operation. Turning on the water pump motor can circulate this condensate back to the condenser to help dissipate heat and prevent condensate buildup. If the water pump motor is not turned on, the condensate treatment will be insufficient, resulting in more moisture on the condenser surface. This may affect the condenser's heat exchange efficiency, causing the air conditioner compressor to run for longer periods or at higher frequencies to achieve the same cooling effect, thus increasing overall energy consumption. Therefore, turning on the water pump motor can reduce the air conditioner's energy consumption.

[0053] Specifically, the current air humidity can be compared with the preset humidity threshold. If the current air humidity is greater than the preset humidity threshold and the water pump motor is off, or if the current air humidity is not greater than the preset humidity threshold and the water pump motor is on, then the current energy consumption of the air conditioner does not meet the preset energy consumption requirements. If the current air humidity is not greater than the preset humidity threshold and the water pump motor is off, then the current energy consumption of the air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements.

[0054] In the above embodiments of the present invention, determining whether the current energy consumption of the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements based on the current air humidity and the current state, and obtaining the determination result, includes: if the comparison result indicates that the current air humidity is greater than the preset humidity threshold and the current state indicates that the water pump motor is in the on state, obtaining the current rotation speed of the water pump motor; if the current rotation speed is greater than the preset rotation speed threshold, determining that the current energy consumption of the portable air conditioner does not meet the preset energy consumption requirements; if the current rotation speed is not greater than the preset rotation speed threshold, determining that the current energy consumption of the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements.

[0055] On the other hand, when the current air humidity is greater than the preset humidity threshold and the water pump motor is on, although the requirement to turn on the water pump motor to reduce energy consumption when the air humidity is high is initially met, the excessive speed of the water pump motor will also lead to high energy consumption of the air conditioner. Therefore, it is necessary to further judge the comparison result between the current speed of the water pump motor and the preset speed threshold. If the current speed is greater than the preset speed threshold, it can be considered that the current energy consumption of the air conditioner does not meet the preset energy consumption requirement; if the current speed is not greater than the preset speed threshold, it can be considered that the current energy consumption of the air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirement.

[0056] According to the above embodiments of the present invention, when the judgment result indicates that the current energy consumption does not meet the preset energy consumption requirement, the water pump motor is controlled to adjust its state so that the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirement at the adjusted target current energy consumption. This includes: when the judgment result indicates that the current energy consumption does not meet the preset energy consumption requirement, determining the type of non-compliance based on the judgment result; if the non-compliance type is the first non-compliance type, controlling the water pump motor to start and accelerate at a first predetermined frequency to a first target current speed, so that the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirement at the adjusted target current energy consumption. The first non-compliance type refers to a non-compliance type where the current air humidity is greater than a preset humidity threshold and the water pump motor is in a closed state. The first target current speed... The speed is not greater than a preset speed threshold. If the second non-compliance type is not met, the water pump motor is controlled to stop running so that the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirement after adjustment. The second non-compliance type refers to the non-compliance type where the current air humidity is not greater than the preset humidity threshold and the water pump motor is in the on state. If the non-compliance type is the third non-compliance type, the water pump motor is controlled to run at a second predetermined frequency until the second target current speed after the speed reduction is not greater than the preset speed threshold. The third non-compliance type is the non-compliance type where the current air humidity is greater than the preset humidity threshold, the water pump motor is in the on state, and the current speed of the water pump motor is greater than the preset speed threshold. The second predetermined frequency is the same as or different from the first predetermined frequency.

[0057] Specifically, if the judgment result indicates that the current energy consumption of the air conditioner does not meet the preset energy consumption requirements, the first step is to determine the specific reason for the high energy consumption. If the high energy consumption is caused by the current air humidity being greater than the preset humidity threshold and the water pump motor being off, then the water pump motor is started and its speed is increased to the first target current speed according to the first predetermined frequency. Here, the first target current speed refers to a speed that can improve cooling efficiency and reduce the high energy consumption caused by the compressor, but cannot increase additional energy consumption due to excessive speed. Therefore, a relatively moderate speed value can be selected by comprehensively considering various factors. No specific restrictions or detailed explanations are given here. If the high energy consumption is caused by the current air humidity not being greater than the preset humidity threshold and the water pump motor being on, then the water pump motor is turned off to reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner. If the high energy consumption is caused by the current air humidity being greater than the preset humidity threshold, the water pump motor being on, and the current speed of the water pump motor being greater than the preset speed threshold, then the speed of the water pump motor is reduced to the second target current speed. The second target current speed can be the same as or different from the first target current speed. The selection can be made by comprehensively considering various factors according to the actual situation. No specific restrictions or detailed explanations are given here.

[0058] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the energy consumption control method of the portable air conditioner further includes: during the operation of the portable air conditioner in cooling mode, acquiring the current ambient temperature of the target environment according to a predetermined time period; calculating the difference between the current ambient temperature and an ambient temperature threshold to obtain a temperature deviation; and controlling the portable air conditioner to switch to air supply mode when the temperature deviation is not greater than the deviation threshold.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, regardless of whether the water pump motor is on or off, the air conditioner needs to measure the difference between the indoor temperature and the set air outlet temperature (i.e., temperature deviation) at certain time intervals (referring to a predetermined time period). Figure 3 The threshold A shown is used to indicate that when the threshold A is greater than 2℃ (2℃ is used as the deviation threshold here as an example, but other values ​​can be selected according to the actual situation, and no specific restrictions are made here), it means that the indoor temperature is high and further cooling is needed to lower the indoor temperature. At this time, the cooling mode is maintained. When the threshold A is less than 2℃, it means that the indoor temperature is low and the air conditioner switches to the fan mode, which can continue to blow cold air to the user. This will not only not affect the user's comfort, but also the compressor will be turned off, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of the air conditioner.

[0060] When acquiring indoor temperature, it can be done at a frequency of 1 minute (or other frequencies depending on the actual situation, without specific restrictions). The difference between the indoor temperature and the set air outlet temperature determines whether the air conditioner is in cooling mode or ventilation mode. If the detection speed is too slow, the difference between the indoor temperature and the ambient temperature will be too large, leading to overheating and affecting user experience. If the detection speed is too fast, fluctuations in indoor temperature will significantly affect the air conditioner's operating mode. Therefore, the detection speed needs to be moderate.

[0061] In another optional embodiment of the present invention, the energy consumption control method for a portable air conditioner further includes: during the operation of the portable air conditioner, acquiring the noise value of the target environment at a second predetermined time interval, wherein the second predetermined time interval is the same as or different from the first predetermined time interval; when the noise value is higher than a preset noise threshold, calculating the difference between the noise value and the preset noise threshold to obtain a noise deviation value; processing the noise deviation value using a state determination model to generate a state adjustment strategy for the water pump motor, wherein the state determination model is trained using multiple sets of training data through machine learning, and each set of multiple sets of training data includes: a sample noise deviation value and a sample state adjustment strategy corresponding to the sample noise deviation value; controlling the water pump motor to adjust its state according to the state adjustment strategy so that the target noise value of the portable air conditioner after adjustment is not higher than the preset noise threshold.

[0062] Specifically, when an air conditioner has high energy consumption, it may generate significant noise, leading to a poor user experience. Therefore, the noise emitted by the air conditioner can be monitored at certain time intervals during operation (here referring to a second predetermined time interval, which can be the same as or different from the first predetermined time interval). If the detected noise value is higher than a preset noise value, a corresponding machine learning model can be used to process the noise deviation between the noise value and the preset noise threshold to obtain a state adjustment strategy for the water pump motor. The state of the water pump motor can then be adjusted according to this strategy to make the noise of the air conditioner lower than the preset noise value, thereby improving the user experience and reducing the overall energy consumption of the unit to a certain extent.

[0063] In this embodiment, the energy consumption control method for portable air conditioners further includes: after obtaining the state adjustment strategy corresponding to the noise deviation value each time using the state determination model, optimizing the state determination model based on the noise deviation value and the state adjustment strategy to obtain an optimized state determination model.

[0064] Specifically, in the process of generating a corresponding state adjustment strategy based on the noise bias value using the state determination model, the state determination model can be continuously adaptively optimized using the noise bias value and the state adjustment strategy to improve model performance.

[0067] According to embodiments of the present invention, an energy consumption control device for a portable air conditioner for implementing the above-described energy consumption control method for a portable air conditioner is also provided. Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of an energy consumption control device for a portable air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the device includes: a first acquisition unit 41, a judgment unit 43, a first control unit 45, and a second control unit 47. The energy consumption control device for this portable air conditioner will be described in detail below.

[0068] The first acquisition unit 41 is used to acquire the current air humidity of the target environment where the portable air conditioner is located and the current status of the water pump motor in the portable air conditioner at a first predetermined time interval during the operation of the portable air conditioner according to the preset mode parameters. The water pump motor is a motor installed below the condenser in the portable air conditioner and is used to adjust the heat exchange efficiency of the portable air conditioner.

[0069] The judgment unit 43 is used to determine whether the current energy consumption of the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements based on the current air humidity and current status, and to obtain the judgment result.

[0070] The first control unit 45 is used to control the portable air conditioner to operate according to the current operating state when the judgment result indicates that the current energy consumption meets the preset energy consumption requirements.

[0071] The second control unit 47 is used to control the water pump motor to adjust its state when the judgment result indicates that the current energy consumption does not meet the preset energy consumption requirements, so that the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements when the current energy consumption is adjusted to the target.

[0072] It should be noted that the first acquisition unit 41, the judgment unit 43, the first control unit 45 and the second control unit 47 mentioned above correspond to steps S202 to S208 in the above embodiments. The four units and the corresponding steps implement the same instances and application scenarios, but are not limited to the content disclosed in the above embodiments.

[0073] As can be seen from the above, in the solution described in the above embodiments of the present invention, the first acquisition unit can acquire the current air humidity of the target environment where the portable air conditioner is located and the current state of the water pump motor in the portable air conditioner at a first predetermined time interval during the operation of the portable air conditioner according to the preset mode parameters. The water pump motor is a motor installed below the condenser in the portable air conditioner and is used to adjust the heat exchange efficiency of the portable air conditioner. Then, the judgment unit uses the current air humidity and current state to determine whether the current energy consumption of the portable air conditioner meets the preset energy consumption requirements, and obtains a judgment result. Then, the first control unit can use the judgment result to determine whether the current energy consumption meets the preset energy consumption requirements. In this case, the portable air conditioner is controlled to operate according to its current operating state. Alternatively, if the second control unit determines that the current energy consumption does not meet the preset energy consumption requirements, it can adjust the state of the water pump motor to ensure that the portable air conditioner's current energy consumption meets the preset requirements after adjustment. This achieves the goal of judging whether the portable air conditioner's energy consumption meets the preset requirements by monitoring the current air humidity and the current state of the water pump motor, and controlling the air conditioner's operation based on the judgment result. This achieves the technical effect of adjusting the state of the water pump motor according to air humidity to avoid excessive energy consumption of the air conditioner, not only reducing the overall energy consumption of the air conditioner but also effectively controlling the noise of the air conditioner.
