[0043] Some existing cabinet air conditioners adopt a single-flow air supply mode. The air is processed by the heat exchanger and sent out from the air outlet of the indoor unit of the air conditioner as the impeller rotates, thereby changing the air state and realizing the cooling and heating functions. Since the air duct of the air conditioner limits the flow path of the air, the air supply range and air supply distance are limited, resulting in a large temperature difference in the air flow blown out from different positions of the air conditioner, making the air outlet comfort of the air conditioner poor.

[0044] In response to the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention considers opening two air supply outlets and adopting a double-crossflow fan to supply air on both sides to achieve a large range of air supply, and two movable baffles are set at each air supply outlet. The baffles can adjust the air supply range during their movement. One of the baffles is provided with a through hole to achieve windless air outlet, thereby improving the air outlet comfort. In order to prevent dust from entering the interior of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is shut down, multiple baffles need to be closed, so multiple drive devices need to work at the same time. How to provide a control method with low energy consumption and less loss of the drive device when the air supply outlet is closed for dust prevention is a further problem faced by this design.

[0045] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a control method of an air conditioner and an air conditioner. Figures 1 to 5 A specific embodiment of the air conditioner control method provided by the present invention, Figure 6 A schematic top view of the internal structure of the air conditioner provided by the present invention (the first baffle is in a shielding position); Figure 7A schematic top view of the internal structure of the air conditioner provided by the present invention (the second baffle is in the shielding position).

[0046] Please refer to Figure 6 to Figure 7 The air conditioner comprises a shell 1, a first driving device and a first baffle 2, a second driving device and a second baffle 3, and a control device. The shell 1 has an air inlet a, an air supply port b, and an air supply channel connecting the air inlet a and the air supply port b; the first baffle 2 is movably mounted on the shell 1, the first driving device is used to drive the first baffle 2 to open and cover the air supply port b, and a through hole is provided on the first baffle 2; the second baffle 3 is movably mounted on the shell 1, and the second driving device is used to drive the second baffle 3 to open and cover the air supply port b; the control device is electrically connected to the first driving device and the second driving device, and is used to control the operation of the first driving device and the second driving device respectively.

[0047] In this embodiment, the shell 1 can be understood as a casing including the air conditioner, and the air inlet a and the air supply outlet b are both opened on the shell 1. It can be understood that the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 are movably installed on the shell 1, and the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 can be slidably installed on the shell 1 or rotatably installed on the shell 1. In order to make the structure of the air conditioner more compact and the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 can be adapted to the shape of the air supply outlet b and the shell 1, the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 can be rotatably installed on the shell 1 and can be set against the shell 1 during their rotation stroke.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 can be arranged inside the housing 1 or outside the housing 1, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present specification.

[0049] In this embodiment, the specific structures of the first driving device and the second driving device are not limited, and may be a motor, a cam drive, a connecting rod drive, a screw structure, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] In the technical solution provided by the present invention, the housing 1 of the air conditioner is provided with the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3, both of which are used to open and cover the air supply port b. The through hole is provided on the first baffle 2. The first driving device drives the corresponding first baffle 2 to move, and the second driving device drives the second baffle 3 to move. When the air conditioner is in a normal working state such as heating, cooling or dehumidification, the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 both open the air supply port b for normal air supply. When it is necessary to adjust to a windless air supply mode, the first baffle 2 is driven to move. 2 blocks the air outlet b, and the wind passes through the through-hole path to disperse the air volume and achieve a windless state to improve the comfort of air outlet. When it is necessary to shut down, the control device controls the first driving device or the second driving device to work, and blocks the air outlet b through the first baffle 2 or the second baffle 3. In this way, the air outlet b can be realized by controlling at most one driving device to work and driving the corresponding baffle to move, so as to provide an air conditioner with low energy consumption and less loss of the driving device when the air outlet b is closed for dust prevention.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the housing 1 extends in the vertical direction, and the housing 1 includes an upper end, a lower end, and a side enclosure. The air inlet a, the air outlet b, and the air supply duct c are each provided with two, and the air outlets b of the two air supply ducts c are arranged along the circumference of the side enclosure and are arranged on both sides of the side enclosure in the lateral direction. In this way, when the two air outlets b are fully opened to supply air, a wide range of nearly 180° can be achieved.

[0052] It can be understood that the degree to which the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 open the two air outlets b, as well as the inclination angle are related to the air supply range of the air conditioner. The specific air supply range can be designed according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of this specification do not limit this.

[0053] Specifically, in order to enable the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 to completely block the air outlet b, in this embodiment, the distance between the two side edges of the air outlet b in the circumferential direction of the side surrounding portion is d1, the distance between the two ends of the first baffle 2 in the circumferential direction of the side surrounding portion is d2, and the distance between the two ends of the second baffle 3 in the circumferential direction of the side surrounding portion is d3, wherein d1≥d2-16mm and / or d1≥d3-16mm. Within this size range, when the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 block the air outlet b, the size between the end of each baffle and the side edge of the air outlet b is less than or equal to 8mm, within the active error range of the driving of the first driving device and the second driving device, so as to ensure the shielding and covering effect of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 while saving materials and controlling costs.

[0054] Of course, the sizes of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 are not limited to the above examples. When the driving accuracy of the first driving device and the second driving device is low, or the internal space of the shell 1 is large, for example: d2-d1 can be set to be less than or equal to 20mm, and of course it can also be 25mm, 30mm, etc. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes under the inspiration of the technical essence of the embodiments of this specification, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to the embodiments of this specification, they should be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of this specification.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the shell 1 also includes a heat exchanger 4 arranged on the air supply channel; the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 both have an open position for opening the air supply port b, and a blocked position for blocking the air supply port b. When the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 are both in the open position, the second baffle 3 is arranged closer to the heat exchanger 4 than the first baffle 2.

[0056] Since the air inlet a of a general air conditioner is arranged on the rear side of the side enclosure, the air supply channel extends in the front-to-back direction, and the heat exchanger 4 is generally arranged close to the air inlet a, and the two air supply outlets b are located on both sides of the side enclosure in the lateral direction. In order to facilitate the reasonable distribution of the two baffles, when the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 are both in the open position, the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the air supply outlet b. In this way, the baffle located between the air supply outlet b and the air inlet a is closer to the heat exchanger 4.

[0057] In this embodiment, since the air conditioner has multiple working states, when the air conditioner is in the heating state, the heat exchanger 4 is in the heating state. When the air conditioner is stopped, the heat exchanger 4 still emits heat. If the first baffle 2 is closed to the air outlet b, the second baffle 3 is relatively close to the heat exchanger 4, and there is no wind flowing in the air supply channel at this time, the remaining heat will affect the second baffle 3, and the second baffle 3 may be deformed, softened, and other adverse effects after being heated, reducing durability and reliability. In this mode, the second baffle 3 is rotated to the air outlet b, as far away from the heat exchanger 4 as possible, to reduce the impact of residual heat.

[0058] Furthermore, the control device includes a memory, a processor, and a control program for the control method of the air conditioner stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the control program for the control method of the air conditioner is configured to implement the steps of the control method of the air conditioner.

[0059] The control device may include a processor, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a communication bus, a user interface, a network interface, and a memory. The communication bus is used to realize the connection and communication between these components. The user interface may include a display screen (Display), an input unit such as a keyboard (Keyboard), and the optional user interface may also include a standard wired interface and a wireless interface. The network interface may optionally include a standard wired interface and a wireless interface (such as a wireless fidelity (WIreless-FIdelity, WI-FI) interface). The memory may be a high-speed random access memory (Random Access Memory, RAM) memory, or a stable non-volatile memory (Non-Volatile Memory, NVM), such as a disk memory. The memory may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor.

[0060] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the control device may include more or fewer components than those described above, or a combination of certain components, or a different arrangement of components.

[0061] In the control device, the network interface is mainly used for data communication with other devices; the user interface is mainly used for data interaction with the user; the processor and the memory in the control device of the present invention can be set in the control device, and the control device calls the control program of the air conditioner stored in the memory through the processor, and executes the control method of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the control device at least performs the following steps:

[0062] When the air conditioner is in operation, after receiving a shutdown command, one of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 is controlled to block the air outlet b.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising the following steps:

[0064] Step S10: When the air conditioner is in operation, after receiving a shutdown command, one of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 is controlled to block the air outlet b.

[0065] In the technical solution provided by the present invention, a first baffle 2 and a second baffle 3 for opening and covering an air supply port b are provided on a shell 1 of the air conditioner, and a through hole is provided on the first baffle 2. A first driving device and a second driving device respectively drive the corresponding first baffle 2 and second baffle 3 to move. When the air conditioner is in working state, at least the second baffle 3 opens the air supply port b to ensure the normal air outlet of the air conditioner. After the air conditioner receives a shutdown command, one of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 is controlled to cover the air supply port b to prevent dust from entering the interior of the air conditioner. In this way, the air supply port b can be realized by controlling at most one driving device to work and drive the corresponding baffle to move, so as to provide a control method with low energy consumption and less loss of the driving device when the air supply port b is closed for dust prevention.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment, the step S10: after receiving the shutdown command, controlling one of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 to block the air outlet b comprises:

[0067] Step S11, after receiving the shutdown instruction, obtaining the current working mode of the air conditioner. Generally, the working modes of the air conditioner include heating mode, cooling mode, air supply mode and dehumidification mode.

[0068] Step S12: Determine whether one of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 blocks the air outlet b according to the current working mode of the air conditioner.

[0069] In this embodiment, due to the different working modes of the air conditioner, the working states of the heat exchanger 4 are also different: in the heating mode, the heat exchanger 4 is in a heat release state, the temperature of the heat exchanger 4 is relatively high, and it is used to heat the airflow through the air supply channel. After receiving the shutdown command, the air supply fan in the air conditioner stops working. At this time, no wind flows in the air supply channel. The heat of the heat exchanger 4 will heat the nearby components, causing deformation, softening and other adverse effects; in the dehumidification mode and the cooling mode, the heat exchanger 4 is in a heat absorption state, the temperature of the heat exchanger 4 is relatively low, and the heat exchanger 4 does not cause a large deformation effect on the nearby components; in the air supply mode, the heat exchanger 4 does not work and will not affect the nearby components. Considering the temperature effect of the heat exchanger 4, the temperature effect of the heat exchanger 4 on the first baffle 2 or the second baffle 3 can be determined according to the current working mode of the air conditioner, so as to determine which baffle is used to block the air supply port b.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the air conditioner further comprises a heat exchanger 4 disposed on the air supply passage, the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 both have an open position for opening the air supply port b and a blocked position for blocking the air supply port b, and when the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 are both in the open position, the second baffle 3 is disposed closer to the heat exchanger 4 than the first baffle 2;

[0071] The step S12: determining that one of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 blocks the air outlet b according to the current working mode of the air conditioner, comprises:

[0072] Step S121: when the current working mode is the heating mode, it is determined that the second baffle 3 blocks the air outlet b.

[0073] In this embodiment, since the second baffle 3 is closer to the heat exchanger 4, in the heating mode, the second baffle 3 will be affected by the residual heat of the heat exchanger 4 and deformed. After receiving the shutdown command, the second baffle 3 is controlled to block the air supply port b, so that the second baffle 3 can be farther away from the heat exchanger 4 during the process of dissipating the residual heat of the heat exchanger 4 compared to when it is in the open position, so that the second baffle 3 is less affected by the heat exchanger 4.

[0074] It can be understood that, of course, the positions of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 can be interchanged, that is, when the first baffle 2 is in the open position, it stays between the air supply port b and the air inlet a, and when the second baffle 3 is in the open position, it is arranged on the side of the air supply port b away from the heat exchanger 4. Then, at this time, when the current working mode is the heating mode, it is determined that the first baffle 2 blocks the air supply port b, so that the first baffle 2 is not affected by the residual temperature of the heat exchanger 4.

[0075] Of course, considering that in order to achieve a better shielding effect for the air conditioner, no through hole is set on the second baffle 3, and dust is less likely to enter the interior of the air conditioner, the second baffle 3 can be preferably used as the optimal shielding and dustproof component, and the second baffle 3 can be set closer to the heat exchanger 4. Regardless of the working mode, the second baffle 3 can be driven to the air outlet b.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, the step S11: after receiving the shutdown instruction, before the step of obtaining the current working mode of the air conditioner, includes:

[0077] Step S1: after receiving the windless mode instruction, controlling the first baffle 2 to move to the shielding position.

[0078] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner receives a power-on command, the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the air outlet b, and the air conditioner normally supplies air through the opened air outlet b. In order to obtain a comfortable experience without a sense of wind, after receiving a command for a sense of wind mode, regardless of whether the air conditioner is in a heating mode, a cooling mode, a dehumidification mode, or an air supply mode, the first baffle 2 can be driven to the air outlet b, so that the wind passes through the microporous path to achieve a dispersed air volume.

[0079] It can be understood that when the air conditioner receives a shutdown command, in the cooling mode, dehumidification mode or air supply mode, since the first baffle 2 itself is in the blocking position, in order to reduce the loss of the driving device, it can be directly shut down without controlling the first driving device or the second driving device to continue working, and the air supply port b can be directly blocked by the first baffle 2.

[0080] When the air conditioner receives a shutdown command, in the heating mode, when the second baffle 3 is in the open position and close to the heat exchanger 4, in order to prevent the second baffle 3 from being affected by the residual temperature of the heat exchanger 4, it is necessary to control the first baffle 2 to move to the open position, and control the second baffle 3 to move to the shielding position for dust prevention and shielding.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment, step S10: before the step of controlling one of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 to block the air outlet b when the air conditioner is in operation and after receiving a shutdown command, the step includes:

[0082] Step S2: When the ambient temperature reaches the set temperature, a shutdown command is generated.

[0083] In this embodiment, when the user starts the air conditioner, the set temperature will be set, and the air conditioner will start to operate normally such as cooling, heating or dehumidification. In this way, when the ambient temperature reaches the user-set temperature, in order to make the air conditioner more intelligent, the air conditioner automatically generates a shutdown command.

[0084] It is understandable that the shutdown instruction may also be an instruction manually input by the user, which may be directly operating the air conditioner to shut it down, or inputting the shutdown instruction through a remote controller, which is not limited in the embodiments of this specification.

[0085] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or system including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or system.
