Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air conditioner control method and device, an air conditioner, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Air conditioners are often used as room temperature adjustment devices, and their main function is to cool or heat the room to make the room temperature reach the user's desired set temperature.

[0003] Currently, to maintain the room temperature at the set temperature, air conditioners usually use a temperature point-based control method for automatic control, i.e., the air conditioner stops running when it detects that the room temperature basically reaches the temperature point corresponding to the set temperature, and then continues to run when the difference between the room temperature and the set temperature is too large.

[0004] However, the temperature point-based control method is less comfortable for users during sleep, especially when the air conditioner is running in a cooling mode. The temperature point-based control method can easily cause the user to wake up from sleep due to heat. Specifically, when the user is sleeping, if the air conditioner stops running after reaching the temperature point, the room temperature will continue to rise for a period of time. Since the user is usually covered with bedding when sleeping, the room temperature that can be accepted during normal times is difficult for the user to accept when sleeping, resulting in the user waking up from sleep due to heat.

[0051] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0053] To address the technical problem that temperature-based control methods in the prior art result in poor comfort during user sleep, this application provides a control method, device, air conditioner, and storage medium for an air conditioner, which can ensure user comfort during sleep and solve the technical problem of poor comfort during user sleep caused by temperature-based control methods.

[0054] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a control method for an air conditioner provided in this application embodiment is shown below. Figure 1 The control method for an air conditioner provided in this application specifically includes the following steps:

[0055] S1: obtaining a first temperature value and a second temperature value; wherein the first temperature value is a user set temperature value, and the second temperature value is an indoor environment temperature value of an indoor environment in which the air conditioner operates;

[0056] S2: in a case where an absolute value of a difference between the first temperature value and the second temperature value is less than a preset absolute value threshold, controlling the compressor of the air conditioner to stop;

[0057] S3: after the compressor of the air conditioner stops, judging whether the user is currently in a sleep state;

[0058] S4: in a case where the user is currently in the sleep state, controlling the air conditioner to operate in a sleep operation mode; wherein in the sleep operation mode, the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to start operating after the compressor of the air conditioner stops for a preset time.

[0059] Specifically, the execution subject of the control method of the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present application can be the air conditioner. Specifically, the control method of the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present application can be implemented on a control board of the air conditioner.

[0060] After the user controls the air conditioner to start and operate in a cooling mode, the first temperature value and the second temperature value are obtained, the first temperature value is a user set temperature value, and the second temperature value is an indoor environment temperature value of an indoor environment in which the air conditioner operates.

[0061] In some actual examples, the user controls the air conditioner through a wire controller (for example, an air conditioner remote controller) of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner obtains the first temperature value based on a control instruction sent by the user through the wire controller of the air conditioner.

[0062] In some actual examples, a temperature sensor is arranged on an indoor unit of the air conditioner, the temperature sensor arranged on the indoor unit of the air conditioner monitors the indoor environment temperature value of the indoor environment in which the air conditioner operates, and the air conditioner obtains the second temperature value through the temperature sensor.

[0063] The first temperature value and the second temperature value are continuously compared, and in a case where an absolute value of a difference between the first temperature value and the second temperature value is less than a preset absolute value threshold, the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to stop. Specifically, the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to stop, an indoor fan of the air conditioner is switched to a micro-fan mode, and an outdoor fan of the air conditioner stops, at this time, the air conditioner no longer continues to cool the indoor environment.

[0064] In some actual examples, the absolute value threshold can be preset by a technician, for example, the absolute value threshold can be set to 1℃.

[0065] When the compressor of the air conditioner stops, it is determined whether the user is currently in a sleep state. Specifically, when it is determined that the user is currently in a sleep state, it is considered that the user is currently sleeping, and when it is determined that the user is not currently in a sleep state, it is considered that the user is not currently sleeping.

[0066] If it is determined that the user is currently in a sleep state, the air conditioner is controlled to run in a sleep running mode. When the air conditioner runs in the sleep running mode, the compressor of the air conditioner starts to run after a preset time, and continues to cool the indoor environment.

[0067] In some actual examples, the preset time can be set by a technician in advance, for example, the preset time can be set to 2 min.

[0068] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, if it is determined that the user is not currently in a sleep state, the air conditioner is controlled to run in a normal running mode. When the air conditioner runs in the normal running mode, the compressor of the air conditioner starts to run only when the air conditioner determines that the absolute value of the difference between the first temperature value and the second temperature value is greater than or equal to the absolute value threshold, and continues to cool the indoor environment.

[0069] After the air conditioner runs in the sleep running mode or the normal running mode, the steps of S1 to S3 described above are continued to be executed in a cycle until the user controls the air conditioner to be turned off.

[0070] Through the technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application, after the air conditioner stops running when the indoor environment temperature value reaches the temperature point corresponding to the user set temperature value, it is necessary to determine whether the current user is in a sleep state. In the case that the current user is in a sleep state, the air conditioner does not need to run only when the difference between the indoor environment temperature value and the user set temperature value reaches a certain degree as in the prior art, but starts to run after a preset time, thereby reducing the time of stopping cooling of the air conditioner, ensuring that the indoor environment temperature of the user during sleep meets the user's expectation in most time, ensuring the comfort of the user during sleep, and solving the technical problem that the comfort during sleep based on the temperature point control is poor.

[0071] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, S3, determining whether the user is currently in a sleep state, comprises:

[0072] determining whether the user is currently in a sleep state according to the current time point; and / or,

[0073] determining whether the user is currently in a sleep state according to the current outdoor environment temperature value; and / or,

[0074] determining whether the user is currently in a sleep state according to the current user's vital signs.

[0075] Specifically, the determination of whether the user is currently in the sleep state can be made based on one or more of the current time point, the current outdoor environment temperature value, and the current user vital sign. It can be understood that the current time point is the time point at which the compressor of the air conditioner is stopped, the current outdoor environment temperature value is the outdoor environment temperature value at which the compressor of the air conditioner is stopped, and the current user vital sign is the user vital sign at which the compressor of the air conditioner is stopped.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, the determination of whether the user is currently in the sleep state according to the current time point comprises:

[0077] obtaining a sleep time interval, wherein the sleep time interval is a time interval during which the user usually sleeps;

[0078] in a case where the current time point is located in the sleep time interval, determining that the user is currently in the sleep state;

[0079] in a case where the current time point is not located in the sleep time interval, determining that the user is not currently in the sleep state.

[0080] Specifically, with reference to Figure 2 in the above embodiment of the determination of whether the user is currently in the sleep state according to the current time point, the steps include:

[0081] S201: obtaining a sleep time interval [ta, tb];

[0082] S202: obtaining a current time point t;

[0083] S203: determining whether the current time point t belongs to the sleep time interval [ta, tb]; if the current time point t belongs to the sleep time interval [ta, tb], performing S204; if the current time point t does not belong to the sleep time interval [ta, tb], performing S205;

[0084] S204: determining that the current user is in the sleep state;

[0085] S205: determining that the current user is not in the sleep state.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present application, the sleep time interval can be a time interval pre-set by a technician, for example, 2:00 AM-7:00 AM can be set as the sleep time interval.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present application, the sleep time interval can be determined according to the daily sleep time of the user. For example, the sleep monitoring device is used to obtain the sleep time points and the wake time points of the user in a month, and the sleep time interval is determined according to the sleep time points and the wake time points of the user in the month. In some actual examples, the sleep monitoring device can be a smart bracelet, a smart phone or other devices capable of detecting the sleep of the user.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present application, whether the user is currently in a sleep state is determined according to the current outdoor environment temperature value, including:

[0089] a third temperature value and a fourth temperature value are obtained, wherein the third temperature value is an outdoor environment temperature value when the air conditioner is initially started, and the fourth temperature value is a current outdoor environment temperature value;

[0090] In the case where the fourth temperature value is less than the third temperature value, it is determined that the user is currently in a sleep state;

[0091] In the case where the fourth temperature value is greater than or equal to the third temperature value, it is determined that the user is not currently in a sleep state.

[0092] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 In the above embodiment of determining whether the user is currently in a sleep state according to the current outdoor environment temperature value, the steps include:

[0093] S301: a third temperature value T3 and a fourth temperature value T4 are obtained;

[0094] S302: it is determined whether the fourth temperature value T4 is less than the third temperature value T3; if the fourth temperature value T4 is less than the third temperature value T3, S304 is executed; if the fourth temperature value T4 is not less than the third temperature value T3, S305 is executed;

[0095] S304: it is determined that the current user is in a sleep state;

[0096] S305: it is determined that the current user is not in a sleep state.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, a temperature sensor is arranged on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the temperature sensor arranged on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner continuously monitors the outdoor environment temperature value of the air conditioner, and the third temperature value and the fourth temperature value are obtained by the air conditioner through the temperature sensor.

[0098] The third temperature value is an outdoor environment temperature value when the air conditioner is initially started, and the fourth temperature value is a current outdoor environment temperature value. In an embodiment of the present application, when a user starts the air conditioner for the first time through a wire controller of the air conditioner, an outdoor environment temperature value is obtained through a temperature sensor arranged on an outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and the outdoor environment temperature value obtained when the air conditioner is started for the first time is recorded as the third temperature value.

[0099] It can be understood that, when the fourth temperature value is less than the third temperature value, the outdoor environment temperature value after the compressor of the air conditioner is stopped is lower than the outdoor environment temperature value when the air conditioner is initially started, and it can be basically considered that the time when the compressor of the air conditioner is stopped is at night, that is, it can be basically considered that the current user is in a sleep state.

[0100] In an embodiment of the present application, whether the current user is in a sleep state is determined according to a current user sign, including:

[0101] Obtaining a user sign;

[0102] In a case where the user sign is a user sleep sign, it is determined that the current user is in a sleep state;

[0103] In a case where the user sign is not a user sleep sign, it is determined that the current user is not in a sleep state.

[0104] Specifically, the air conditioner continuously obtains a user sign, identifies the user sign, identifies whether the user sign is a user sleep sign, determines that the current user is in a sleep state in a case where the user sign is a user sleep sign, and determines that the current user is not in a sleep state in a case where the user sign is not a user sleep sign.

[0105] In an embodiment of the present application, the user sign can be obtained through a user sign detection device, the user sign detection device and the air conditioner are in communication with each other, and the user sign detection device sends the detected user sign to the air conditioner. In some actual examples, the user sign detection device can be a smart bracelet, a smart phone or other devices capable of detecting a user sign.

[0106] After the air conditioner obtains the user sign, whether the user sign is a user sleep sign is identified. In an embodiment of the present application, the identification of the user sign can be based on a preset sign identification model. The sign identification model can be a model constructed based on a neural network or machine learning, which can classify the input user sign and identify whether the user sign is a user sleep sign. The sign identification model is a content of the prior art, and will not be described here.

[0107] In an embodiment of the present application, S4, the control of the air conditioner to run in the sleep mode, comprises:

[0108] Obtaining the minimum start-up period of the compressor of the air conditioner;

[0109] Setting the minimum start-up period of the compressor of the air conditioner as a preset time;

[0110] Setting the compressor of the air conditioner to start running after the preset time.

[0111] Specifically, setting the air conditioner to start running after the preset time, in an embodiment of the present application, the preset time can be set based on the minimum start-up period of the compressor of the air conditioner. For example, the minimum start-up period of the compressor of the air conditioner is 3 min, and the preset time is set to 3 min.

[0112] In an embodiment of the present application, S4, the control of the air conditioner to run in the sleep mode, further comprises:

[0113] Setting the air conditioner to start running after the preset time; wherein the preset time is the minimum start-up period of the compressor of the air conditioner;

[0114] Setting the air conditioner to run silently;

[0115] Setting the refrigerating capacity of the compressor of the air conditioner as the minimum refrigerating capacity corresponding to the first temperature value.

[0116] Specifically, setting the air conditioner to run silently, since it is currently considered that the user is in the sleep state, the running sound of the air conditioner in running is reduced, so that the running of the air conditioner does not disturb the user's sleep as much as possible, and the sleep comfort of the user is further improved.

[0117] Setting the refrigerating capacity of the air conditioner as the minimum refrigerating capacity corresponding to the first temperature value, since it is currently considered that the user is in the sleep state, the refrigerating capacity of the air conditioner is set as the minimum refrigerating capacity corresponding to the first temperature value, so that the refrigerating capacity output of the air conditioner is gentle and moderate, and the sleep comfort of the user is further improved.
