[0037] Figure 3 The figure is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solution of the present application, the application scenario of the disclosed solution is first described below.

[0039] Usually, if the indoor unit of the air conditioner is placed indoors for a long time, a lot of dust will adhere to the inside of the machine, and due to the moisture in the air itself or the increase in humidity in the indoor unit cavity after using the air conditioner, the moisture will condense with the dust. These dusts with moisture are easy to breed a large number of bacteria in the humid environment of the indoor unit. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will also produce irritating odor in the air conditioner cavity, affecting the health of users. In related technologies, the air conditioner is usually triggered by the user to be cleaned accordingly, and it may not be cleaned until the air conditioner produces odor, which reduces the timeliness of cleaning control and is inconvenient for users.

[0040] In order to solve the above problems, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. 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.

[0041] It should be noted that all actions of acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the device is located and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0042] Figure 1 is a flow chart of an air conditioning control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0043] In step S11 , in response to receiving a power-on signal of the air conditioner, a previous historical cleaning time corresponding to the air conditioner is determined.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, it can be determined whether the air conditioner needs to be cleaned when the air conditioner is turned on, so as to achieve safe and effective use of the air conditioner. For example, when the air conditioner receives a power-on signal, the previous historical cleaning time corresponding to the air conditioner can be determined, that is, the start time of the most recent cleaning operation of the air conditioner. The air conditioner can record the corresponding start time when performing a cleaning operation.

[0045] In step S12, if it is determined that the air conditioner is in a state to be cleaned based on the historical cleaning time, a target range of air conditioning parameters corresponding to the cleaning of the air conditioner is determined according to the operating mode currently set for the air conditioner.

[0046] Specifically, whether the air conditioner needs to be cleaned can be determined based on the time interval between the historical cleaning time and the current clock information of the air conditioner. As an example, when the time interval exceeds a predetermined threshold, it can be determined that the air conditioner needs to be cleaned, that is, the air conditioner is determined to be in a state to be cleaned. The predetermined threshold can be set according to the actual application scenario and the air conditioner configuration, and the present disclosure does not limit this. In this way, the waste of resources caused by frequent cleaning of the air conditioner can be avoided, and the service life of the air conditioner hardware can be improved to a certain extent.

[0047] In this embodiment, taking into account the impact of the operating mode of the air conditioner on the cleaning of the air conditioner, the target values ​​of the corresponding air conditioning parameters when cleaning the air conditioner can be determined in combination with the currently set operating mode of the air conditioner, so that the cleaning control of the air conditioner matches the operating mode of the air conditioner.

[0048] In step S13, in the currently set operation mode, the air conditioner is controlled to perform cleaning according to the target range of the air conditioning parameters.

[0049] As an example, the current value of the air-conditioning parameter may be adjusted according to the currently set operation mode and the target range of the air-conditioning parameter, thereby controlling the air-conditioning to perform cleaning.

[0050] In the above technical solution, in response to receiving the air conditioner power-on signal, the previous historical cleaning time of the air conditioner is determined, and based on the historical cleaning time, it can be determined whether the air conditioner is in a state to be cleaned, and then the target range of the air conditioning parameters corresponding to the air conditioner cleaning is further determined according to the currently set operating mode, and then in the currently set operating mode, based on the target range of the air conditioning parameters, the air conditioner is controlled to clean. Therefore, the above technical solution can realize automatic cleaning of the air conditioner, ensure that the air conditioner matches the currently set operating mode when cleaning, avoid the lag of the manual control of the air conditioner to perform cleaning operations, and ensure the matching of the air conditioner cleaning operations with the air conditioner operating mode, avoid frequent switching of the air conditioner operating mode, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the air conditioner while avoiding the impact of the air conditioner cleaning on the user's use, thereby improving the user experience.

[0051] In a possible embodiment, the air conditioning parameters include air conditioning wind speed and / or air conditioning wind shield angle.

[0052] Among them, cleaning the air conditioner can reduce the residual moisture and dirt in the air conditioner, and reduce the growth of bacteria and the generation of odor. The change of the air conditioner wind speed can adjust the speed of the water removal in the air conditioner indoor unit, so that the water in the air conditioner indoor unit can be blown out or evaporated better. The change of the angle of the air conditioner windshield can reduce the impact on the user's use when the water in the air conditioner indoor unit is removed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the accuracy of the air conditioner cleaning control can be guaranteed by controlling the above parameters, and at the same time, it can also avoid affecting the normal use of the user on the air conditioner, thereby improving the user experience.

[0053] In a possible embodiment, in the currently set operating mode, according to the target range of the air conditioning parameter, an exemplary implementation method of controlling the air conditioner to clean may include:

[0054] If the currently set operating mode is the heating mode, a first target value of the air-conditioning parameter is determined from a target range of the air-conditioning parameter corresponding to the cleaning of the air conditioner in the heating mode, and the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the first target value of the air-conditioning parameter.

[0055] Among them, when the air conditioner is in different operating modes, the user's physical needs and usage needs are usually different. Based on this, in this embodiment, corresponding control can be performed for different operating modes of the air conditioner to ensure the matching degree between the air conditioner control and the user's usage needs.

[0056] Under normal circumstances, when there is a demand for heating, the indoor environment temperature of the air conditioner is relatively low, and when the air conditioner is running in heating mode, the moisture in the inner cavity of the air conditioner indoor unit will evaporate. Based on this, in this embodiment, if the current operating mode of the air conditioner is set to heating mode, the air conditioner can be cleaned first, that is, the air conditioner is controlled to run at the first target value of the air conditioning parameter to achieve cleaning of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cleanliness of the air conditioner, improving the effectiveness of the air conditioner operation in heating mode and improving user experience.

[0057] When determining the first target value, it can be randomly selected from the target range of air-conditioning parameters corresponding to the cleaning of the air conditioner in the heating mode, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0058] If the currently set operating mode is a cooling mode, a second target value of the air-conditioning parameter is determined from a target range of the air-conditioning parameter corresponding to the cleaning of the air conditioner in the cooling mode, and in response to receiving a shutdown signal of the air conditioner, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the second target value of the air-conditioning parameter.

[0059] Generally, when the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, condensed water will continuously form in the cavity of the indoor unit, and there will still be residual scale in the cavity of the indoor unit after the air conditioner is cleaned. Therefore, in this embodiment, if the air conditioner is determined to be cleaned in cooling mode, in response to receiving the shutdown signal of the air conditioner, that is, when the air conditioner is finished running, the air conditioner is triggered to clean, which can ensure the effective operation of the cooling mode of the air conditioner and the user experience on the one hand, and also facilitate the one-time blowing out of the moisture in the cavity of the indoor unit, so as to achieve effective cleaning of the air conditioner, avoid the generation of new condensed water in the cavity after cleaning, and ensure the cleaning effect of the air conditioner.

[0060] Likewise, a second target value may be randomly selected from a target range of air-conditioning parameters corresponding to cleaning of the air conditioner in the cooling mode, so as to adjust the air-conditioning parameters from a current value to the second target value, so as to clean the air conditioner.

[0061] In a possible embodiment, the target range of the air-conditioning parameter in the heating mode and the target range of the air-conditioning parameter in the cooling mode may be different, which may be set according to the actual application scenario.

[0062] As an example, if the operating mode set after the air conditioner is turned on is the heating mode, the target range of the air conditioner wind speed in the air conditioner parameters in this mode can be set to 300-600rpm, and the air conditioner wind deflector angle can be relative to the ground level. If the operating mode set after the air conditioner is turned on is the cooling mode, the target range of the air conditioner wind speed in the air conditioner parameters in this mode can be set to 500-800rpm, and the air conditioner wind deflector angle can be 45°-60° downward relative to the ground level.

[0063] Therefore, in the above embodiment, when the operating mode of the air conditioner is currently set to the heating mode, the air conditioner can be cleaned before the heating mode is started; when the operating mode of the air conditioner is currently set to the cooling mode, the air conditioner can be cleaned after the cooling mode is finished. This ensures that the cleaning control of the air conditioner is achieved without affecting the user's cooling / heating experience, effectively improving the user's experience of using the air conditioner this time and next time.

[0064] In a possible embodiment, the exemplary implementation of the method may further include:

[0065] The start time of controlling the air conditioner to operate at the target value of the air conditioning parameter under the currently set operating mode is determined as the cleaning time corresponding to the current cleaning of the air conditioner, and the target value is the first target value or the second target value.

[0066] As described above, if the currently set operating mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode, when it is determined that the air conditioner is in the state to be cleaned, the cleaning control adjustment is not performed directly, but the air conditioner is controlled to clean after waiting for the shutdown signal of the air conditioner. In this embodiment, the moment when the actual control air conditioning parameters are adjusted to the second target value can be recorded as the cleaning moment to ensure the accuracy of the cleaning moment, provide accurate data for the subsequent judgment of the cleaning state of the air conditioner next time, and ensure the accuracy of the air conditioning control.

[0067] In a possible embodiment, the exemplary implementation of the method may further include:

[0068] When the time duration for controlling the air conditioner to perform cleaning reaches a first preset time duration, the air conditioner is controlled to end cleaning.

[0069] Among them, the first preset duration can be set according to the actual application scenario. It should be noted that the first preset duration can be the same or different in different operating modes, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0070] For example, if the currently set operating mode is heating mode, the first preset time can be set to 5 minutes. When the air conditioner is cleaning for a period of time that satisfies the first preset time, the air conditioner can be controlled to stop cleaning. If the currently set operating mode is cooling mode, the first preset time can be set to 8 minutes. When the air conditioner is cleaning for a period of time that satisfies the first preset time, the air conditioner can be controlled to stop cleaning.

[0071] For example, an exemplary implementation of controlling the air conditioner to end cleaning may include:

[0072] If the currently set operating mode is the heating mode, the air conditioner is controlled to operate with the working values ​​of the air conditioning parameters in the heating mode.

[0073] Specifically, in the heating mode, the air conditioner is cleaned before heating. When the duration of the air conditioner cleaning reaches a first preset duration, the working value of the air conditioning parameter of the air conditioner in the heating mode can be further obtained. The working value can be based on the current working state of the air conditioner, such as the value determined by the air conditioning setting temperature and the indoor temperature, which is not limited here. Afterwards, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at the working value of the air conditioning parameter, so that the air conditioner can automatically adjust the air conditioning parameter to the normal heating working value after the cleaning is completed, that is, it works in the heating mode.

[0074] If the currently set operating mode is cooling mode, the air conditioner will be shut down.

[0075] Specifically, in the cooling mode, the air conditioner is cleaned after the cooling mode ends. When the cleaning time of the air conditioner reaches a first preset time, the air conditioner wind shield can be closed and the air conditioner can be controlled to shut down.

[0076] Therefore, when controlling the air conditioner to end cleaning, different controls can be performed according to the different operating modes of the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can continue to heat in the heating mode and provide the user with a heating effect; in the cooling mode, it can stop running, close the air conditioner wind shield, and execute shutdown, which meets the user's usage needs and provides the user with a better cooling / heating experience.

[0077] In a possible embodiment, the exemplary implementation of the method may further include:

[0078] If the air conditioner is in standby mode, the non-operating time of the air conditioner is determined, wherein the non-operating time is the time from the last operation end time of the air conditioner to the current time.

[0079] Specifically, if the air conditioner is in standby mode, that is, the air conditioner is powered on but not working, the non-working time can be monitored in real time according to the previous end time of the air conditioner and the current internal clock information of the air conditioner.

[0080] Afterwards, if the non-working time reaches the second preset time, the air conditioner is controlled to start the cooling mode in the first period, and to start the heating mode in the second period after the first period. For example, the second preset time can be set based on the actual application scenario.

[0081] Specifically, if the detected air conditioner has not been working for a second preset time, the air conditioner can be controlled to start the self-cleaning mode. That is to say, in the first time period, the air conditioner turns on the cooling mode, such as adjusting the state in which the compressor provides compressed refrigerant to the indoor unit heat exchange component, and adjusting the opening of the electronic expansion valve so that the air conditioner can reach the first preset opening of the electronic expansion valve in the first time period. Afterwards, in the second time period after the first time period, the air conditioner adjusts the opening of the electronic expansion valve in the heating mode to reach the second preset opening. Among them, the first preset opening and the second preset opening can be set based on the actual application scenario. In this way, the indoor unit can first cool and frost so that the dirt surface in the cavity can adhere to the frost layer, and then through heating and defrosting, the dirt with dust can be formed into water and then discharged, which is conducive to dust removal and odor removal.

[0082] For example, if the second preset time is 20 days, when it is detected that the time between the current internal clock information of the air conditioner and the previous end time of the air conditioner operation exceeds 20 days, the air conditioner can be controlled to turn on the self-cleaning mode, that is, to execute the above-mentioned cleaning process.

[0083] Therefore, through the above technical solution, the air conditioner can be automatically turned on in self-cleaning mode without perception. Cleaning control does not need to be turned on, and there is no need for manual control signals to be sent, which avoids cleaning only after odor is generated, and can improve the user experience and the timeliness of cleaning control.
