[0043] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0044] In the related art, an aromatherapy device can be integrated inside the air conditioner to eliminate indoor odors and provide users with fragrance, but it is difficult to reasonably control the aromatherapy device to reasonably emit fragrance. For example, if the aromatherapy concentration is too low, the odor cannot be eliminated, and if the aromatherapy concentration is too high, it will cause discomfort to the human body.

[0045] In response to the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides an air conditioning control method, an air conditioning controller and an air conditioner. When the user instructs to turn on the fragrance mode, the method responds to the fragrance mode turn-on instruction, and when the fan of the air conditioner is in the on state, controls the fragrance device to turn on, and controls the heating device of the fragrance device to turn on or off according to at least one of the indoor ambient temperature and the first operating parameter of the fan, so that the fragrance device can be reasonably controlled based on the indoor ambient temperature and the operating parameters of the fan, so that the fragrance device can reasonably emit fragrance, thereby keeping the concentration of the fragrance within a reasonable range.

[0046] Before introducing an air conditioner control method provided by the present disclosure, an air conditioner provided by the present disclosure is first introduced. Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of an air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1As shown, the air conditioner includes an air conditioner controller, an air conditioner body, a fan, an aromatherapy device, a heating device and a purification device, wherein the air conditioner controller, the fan, the aromatherapy device, the heating device and the purification device can be arranged inside the air conditioner body, and the air conditioner controller is respectively connected with the air conditioner body, the fan, the aromatherapy device, the heating device and the purification device by signals, so that the operation of the air conditioner body, the fan, the aromatherapy device, the heating device and the purification device can be controlled by the air conditioner controller.

[0047] Among them, the air conditioner body includes an outer body and an inner body, which are used to realize the heat exchange function of the air conditioner, that is, the cooling and heating functions of the air conditioner, and can obtain user instructions, etc. The fan is arranged inside the inner body of the air conditioner to realize the mutual flow of air inside the inner body of the air conditioner and indoor air. The aromatherapy device can be arranged inside the inner body, and can be arranged at the rear of the air conditioning panel of the inner body, and is used to emit fragrance when the aromatherapy device is turned on so that the user can create the indoor environment smell he likes. The aromatherapy device can be disassembled and replaced to change different smells to meet the needs of different users. The heating device is a heating device for the aromatherapy device, which can heat the aromatherapy device to accelerate the volatilization of the fragrance, thereby increasing the concentration of the fragrance. The purification device can be an IFD (Intense Field Dielectric) purification module, which is a strong electric field that uses dielectric materials as carriers and has the function of purifying the air. There are two ways to install the purification device. One is an integral large-capacity module, and the air inlet and outlet are consistent with the air conditioner body; the other is a split purification module, whose air inlet is also on the upper part of the air conditioner's indoor body, and the air outlet is on the side of the air conditioner's indoor body, which is different from the air outlet of the air conditioner body, avoiding affecting the air outlet effect of the air conditioner body, and can operate independently.

[0048] Figure 2 is a flow chart of an air conditioning control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the method can be used in an air-conditioning controller and includes the following steps.

[0049] In step S201, in response to the fragrance mode on instruction, when the operation state of the fan of the air conditioner is on, the fragrance device is controlled to be turned on.

[0050] In this embodiment, the user can send a fragrance mode on command to the air conditioner body, and the method may include sending the command using a remote controller of the air conditioner, sending the command to the air conditioner body through a network using a network device, etc. The air conditioner controller receives the fragrance mode on command and can respond to the command to determine the operating state of the air conditioner fan. When the operating state of the air conditioner fan is on, the fragrance device is controlled to be turned on so that the fragrance emitted by the fragrance device can be blown out from the inside of the air conditioner body to the room through the air supply capacity of the fan.

[0051] If the air conditioner fan is in the off state, the air conditioner fan is first controlled to be turned on, and after confirming that the air conditioner fan is turned on successfully, that is, when it is determined that the air conditioner fan is in the on state, the aromatherapy device is controlled to be turned on. The aromatherapy device can also be directly controlled to be turned on after the air conditioner fan is turned on for a preset time. The preset time can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the preset time can be 10 seconds.

[0052] In step S202, the heating device of the aromatherapy device is controlled to be turned on or off according to at least one of the indoor ambient temperature and the first operating parameter of the fan.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first operating parameter of the fan may be the fan speed or wind speed of the fan. The indoor ambient temperature and the first operating parameter of the fan may both be used as parameters affecting the opening and closing of the heating device of the aromatherapy device, thereby enabling the heating device of the aromatherapy device to be used more reasonably. Based on different indoor ambient temperatures and different first operating parameters of the fan, the heating device is controlled to be turned on or off, thereby enabling the use of the aromatherapy device to be more reasonable, and the concentration of the indoor aromatherapy device to be within a reasonable preset concentration range, thereby eliminating indoor odors and preventing the concentration of the aromatherapy device from being too high to cause discomfort to the human body.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the user instructs to turn on the fragrance mode, in response to the fragrance mode turn-on instruction, when the air conditioner fan is in the on state, the fragrance device is controlled to turn on, and according to the indoor ambient temperature and at least one of the first operating parameters of the fan, the heating device of the fragrance device is controlled to turn on or off, so that the fragrance device can be reasonably controlled based on the indoor ambient temperature and the operating parameters of the fan, so that the fragrance device can reasonably emit fragrance, thereby keeping the concentration of the fragrance within a reasonable range.

[0055] In one possible embodiment, the first operating parameter includes the fan speed; according to the indoor ambient temperature and at least one of the first operating parameter of the fan, the method of controlling the heating device of the aromatherapy device to turn on or off may be: when the indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the second preset temperature, and the fan speed is greater than or equal to the first preset speed, controlling the heating device of the aromatherapy device to turn on.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first operating parameter may be the fan speed, and the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature may be determined based on the relationship between the distribution speed and temperature of the aromatherapy device. The first preset temperature is lower than the second preset temperature. For example, the first preset temperature may be 25°C, and the second preset temperature may be 30°C. The first preset speed may be set based on actual conditions. When the indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the second preset temperature, the distribution speed of the aromatherapy device is moderate. When the fan speed is relatively high, that is, when the fan speed is greater than or equal to the first preset speed, the heating device of the aromatherapy device may be controlled to turn on so that the aromatherapy device can reasonably emit fragrance, thereby keeping the concentration of the fragrance within a reasonable range, wherein the greater the fan speed, the faster the indoor air flows, and the faster the exchange speed with the outdoor air is, resulting in a lower indoor fragrance concentration.

[0057] In a possible implementation, the method for controlling the heating device of the aromatherapy device to turn on or off according to at least one of the indoor ambient temperature and the first operating parameter of the fan may be: when the indoor ambient temperature is greater than the second preset temperature, controlling the heating device of the aromatherapy device to turn off.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the indoor ambient temperature is greater than the second preset temperature, it is determined that the fragrance dissipation speed is relatively high and the heating device is not needed to assist the fragrance dissipation. In this case, the heating device of the fragrance device can be controlled to be turned off. Controlling the heating device of the fragrance device to be turned off can be understood as: if the current heating device is in the on state, the heating device is controlled to be switched from the on state to the off state; if the current heating device is in the off state, the heating device is controlled to maintain the off state. When the indoor temperature is relatively high, the heating device can be controlled to be turned off, so as to avoid the indoor fragrance concentration being too high.

[0059] In a possible embodiment, according to at least one of the indoor ambient temperature and the first operating parameter of the fan, the method of controlling the heating device of the aromatherapy device to turn on or off may be: when the indoor ambient temperature is lower than the first preset temperature and the fan speed is greater than or equal to the second preset speed, the heating device of the aromatherapy device is controlled to turn on, and the second preset speed is lower than the first preset speed.

[0060] In this embodiment, the second preset speed can be determined according to actual conditions. When the indoor ambient temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, it is determined that the fragrance diffusion speed is low, and the second preset speed can be set to a smaller value. When the fan speed is greater than or equal to the second preset speed, the heating device can be controlled to turn on, thereby accelerating the fragrance diffusion speed in time to increase the indoor fragrance concentration.

[0061] In a possible implementation, the fan speed of the fan is divided into a plurality of wind speeds, each wind speed corresponds to a fan speed, the first operating parameter may be the wind speed, and according to at least one of the indoor ambient temperature and the first operating parameter of the fan, the method for controlling the heating device of the aromatherapy device to turn on or off may be: when the indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the second preset temperature, and the wind speed is greater than or equal to the first preset wind speed, the heating device of the aromatherapy device is controlled to turn on. When the indoor ambient temperature is greater than the second preset temperature, the heating device of the aromatherapy device is controlled to turn off. When the indoor ambient temperature is less than the first preset temperature, and the wind speed is greater than or equal to the second preset wind speed, the heating device of the aromatherapy device is controlled to turn on, and the second preset wind speed is less than the first preset wind speed.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature refer to the above explanation. When the indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the second preset temperature, the fragrance dissipation speed is moderate. When the fan speed is large, that is, when the wind speed is greater than or equal to the first preset wind speed, the heating device of the aromatherapy device can be controlled to turn on so that the aromatherapy device can reasonably emit fragrance, thereby keeping the concentration of the aromatherapy device within a reasonable range. When the indoor ambient temperature is greater than the second preset temperature, it is determined that the fragrance dissipation speed is large, and the heating device is not needed to assist the fragrance dissipation. In this case, the heating device of the aromatherapy device can be controlled to turn off, thereby avoiding excessive concentration of indoor fragrance. When the indoor ambient temperature is less than the first preset temperature, it is determined that the fragrance dissipation speed is small, and the second preset speed can be set to a smaller value. When the wind speed is greater than or equal to the second preset wind speed, the heating device can be controlled to turn on, thereby timely accelerating the fragrance dissipation speed, so as to increase the indoor fragrance concentration.

[0063] Figure 3 is a flow chart showing a method for controlling a purification mode of an air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the air conditioning control method further includes the following steps:

[0064] In step S301 , in response to a purification mode start instruction, when the heat exchange state of the air conditioner is in the on state, the purification device is controlled to be turned on.

[0065] In this embodiment, in this embodiment, the user can send a purification mode start instruction to the air conditioner body, and the method may include using a remote controller of the air conditioner to send an instruction, using a network device to send an instruction to the air conditioner body through a network, and so on. The air conditioner controller receives the purification mode start instruction, and can respond to the instruction to determine the heat exchange state of the air conditioner, that is, whether the cooling or heating of the air conditioner is turned on. When the heat exchange state of the air conditioner is turned on, the purification device is controlled to be turned on, wherein when the heat exchange state of the air conditioner is turned on, the fan of the air conditioner is in an on state, so that the indoor air can be introduced into the inner body of the air conditioner through the air exchange capacity of the fan, and the air is purified by the purification device.

[0066] In step S302, a target fan parameter is determined according to the actual temperature difference and the second operating parameter of the fan, wherein the actual temperature difference is the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature.

[0067] In this embodiment, the indoor ambient temperature can be obtained in real time, and the set temperature and the second operating parameter of the fan can be obtained. The set temperature is the set temperature corresponding to the heat exchange function of the air conditioner used by the user, that is, the target indoor temperature expected by the user, and the second operating parameter of the fan can be the current operating parameter of the fan. The actual temperature difference can be determined based on the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature. Optionally, the actual temperature difference can be the difference obtained by subtracting the set temperature from the indoor ambient temperature. The second operating parameter of the fan can be the fan speed and wind speed of the fan. The second operating parameter of the fan can be corrected based on the actual temperature difference to obtain the target fan parameter.

[0068] In step S303, the operation of the fan is controlled according to the target fan parameters.

[0069] In this implementation, the fan may be controlled to operate with the target fan parameter based on the target fan parameter, that is, the fan speed of the fan is made to reach the target fan speed.

[0070] In this embodiment, in purification mode, when the heat exchange state of the air conditioner is on and the purification device is turned on, the current operating parameters of the fan can be corrected according to the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature, so as to increase the purification speed of the air conditioner for the indoor air while making the indoor temperature reach the set temperature as soon as possible.

[0071] In a possible implementation, the method for determining the target fan parameter according to the actual temperature difference and the second operating parameter of the fan may be: determining the target correction parameter according to the actual temperature difference; determining the target fan parameter according to the target correction parameter and the second operating parameter.

[0072] In this embodiment, the target correction parameter can be determined according to the size of the actual temperature difference. For example, the actual temperature difference can be divided into multiple temperature difference intervals, and different temperature difference intervals correspond to different correction parameters. The target interval where the actual temperature difference is located can be determined, and the correction coefficient corresponding to the target interval can be obtained as the target correction coefficient corresponding to the actual temperature difference, and the sum of the target correction coefficient and the second operating parameter is determined as the target fan parameter.

[0073] In a possible implementation, when the actual temperature difference is less than or equal to the first preset temperature difference, the target correction parameter is determined to be the first correction parameter, which may be 0. When the actual temperature difference is greater than the first preset temperature difference and less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, the target correction parameter is determined to be the second correction parameter, which is greater than the first correction parameter, for example, the second correction parameter may be 30r / min. When the actual temperature difference is greater than the second preset temperature difference, the target correction parameter is determined to be the third correction parameter, which is greater than the second correction parameter, for example, the third correction parameter may be 50r / min. The sizes of the first correction parameter, the second correction parameter, and the third correction parameter are related to the capacity of the IFD.

[0074] In a possible embodiment, the air conditioning control method further includes: responding to a purification mode start instruction, the purification mode start instruction including a purification device start instruction and set operating parameters of the fan, when the heat exchange state of the air conditioner is in a closed state, controlling the purification device to turn on according to the purification device start instruction, and controlling the fan to operate according to the set operating parameters.

[0075] In this embodiment, the purification function can be turned on separately based on the user's instructions and the fan can be operated according to the set operating parameters. Specifically, when the user sends the purification mode start-up instruction, the user will further send the purification device start-up instruction and the set operating parameters of the fan. After the air-conditioning controller receives the purification device start-up instruction and the set operating parameters of the fan, even when the heat exchange state of the air conditioner is in the off state, the purification device can be controlled to be turned on according to the purification device start-up instruction, and the fan can be controlled to operate according to the set operating parameters, thereby realizing the separate activation of the purification function.

[0076] Figure 4 is a flow chart of a method for automatically starting purification according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the air conditioning control method further includes the following steps:

[0077] In step S401, in response to a purification mode start instruction, when the heat exchange state of the air conditioner is in the off state, the historical heat exchange duration of the air conditioner is determined.

[0078] In this embodiment, when the purification mode start command is received, if the heat exchange state of the air conditioner is in the off state, the historical heat exchange duration of the air conditioner can be determined. The historical heat exchange duration is the continuous heat exchange duration of the air conditioner between the current moment and the last time the purification device was turned on. If there are multiple times, the longest continuous heat exchange duration is the one.

[0079] In step S402, when the historical heat exchange duration is greater than or equal to a first preset duration threshold, the purification device and the fan are controlled to operate according to the first preset duration and preset operating parameters.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first preset time threshold, the first preset time and the preset operating parameters can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the first preset time threshold can be 24 hours, the first preset time can be 2 hours, and the preset operating parameters can be 4 wind speeds. For example, when the air conditioner performs heat exchange for 24 consecutive hours but the purification device is not turned on, the purification device can be controlled to be turned on and turned off after the purification device runs for 2 hours. During this period, the fan can be controlled to run at 4 wind speeds. In this way, when the heat exchange of the air conditioner runs for a long time but the purification device is not turned on, the purification device can be automatically turned on to purify the air.

[0081] In a possible implementation, the air conditioning control method further includes: when the accumulated operating time of the purification device is greater than or equal to a second preset time threshold, controlling the purification device to be turned off for a second preset time and then turned on again.

[0082] In this embodiment, the second preset time threshold and the second preset time can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the second preset time threshold can be 30 days, and the second preset time can be 3 minutes. When the cumulative operating time of the purification device is greater than or equal to 30 days, the purification device can be controlled to be shut down for 3 minutes to avoid damage to the purification device caused by long-term use.
