[0054] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0055] At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to actual scale.

[0056] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is not intended to limit the scope of this application or its application or use.

[0057] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0058] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0059] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this application.

[0060] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0061] The following is combined with Figures 1-4 This application describes a method for operating an air conditioning device according to exemplary embodiments thereof. It should be noted that the following application scenarios are shown only to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principles of this application, and the embodiments of this application are not limited in any way. Rather, the embodiments of this application can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0062] In one embodiment, the air conditioning devices 101, 102, and 103 in this application can be air conditioning devices in a smart home scenario. For example, they include wall-mounted air conditioners, floor-standing air conditioners, central air conditioners, portable air conditioners, etc.

[0063] In related technologies, air conditioning equipment is used to regulate indoor environmental parameters such as ambient temperature and humidity.

[0064] Wired controllers are the most commonly used type of controller, serving as the control terminal for air conditioning equipment. For example, a wired controller typically corresponds to one or more indoor units of an air conditioning system, allowing users to control the air conditioning in the corresponding room while using the system. In one approach, a dedicated wired line can be used to connect the wired controller and the indoor unit, establishing a physical connection between the controller and the air conditioning equipment.

[0065] However, a common situation in related technologies is that the air conditioning unit and the wired controller are not from the same manufacturer. For example, a unit from manufacturer A might be paired with a wired controller from manufacturer B. This results in the air conditioning unit being unable to obtain the target temperature set by the customer on the thermostat, thus failing to provide a comfortable temperature environment for the user.

[0066] To address the shortcomings of related technologies, this application proposes a method for operating an air conditioning device. For example... Figure 1 As shown, its system architecture 100 may include one or more of air conditioning devices 101, 102, and 103, a network 104, and a wired controller 105. The network 104 serves as a medium for providing a communication link between the air conditioning devices 101, 102, and 103 and the wired controller 105. The network 104 may include various connection types, such as wired or wireless communication links or fiber optic cables, etc.

[0067] It should be understood that Figure 1The number of air conditioning units, networks, and wired controllers shown is merely illustrative. Depending on the implementation requirements, any number of air conditioning units, networks, and wired controllers can be included. For example, wired controller 105 could be a cluster of multiple wired controllers.

[0068] Users can use the wired controller 105 to interact with one or more of the air conditioning units 101, 102, and 103 to control the air conditioning units, such as turning them on and off, and adjusting the temperature. The air conditioning units 101, 102, and 103 may include air conditioning units with cooling and / or heating functions.

[0069] In one embodiment of this application, the air conditioning device 103 (or air conditioning device 101 or 102) can achieve the following: upon receiving a start signal from a wired controller, a first correction value is determined based on the current indoor temperature and historical indoor temperatures, wherein the current indoor temperature is the indoor temperature at which the air conditioning device is currently located, and the historical indoor temperature is the indoor temperature at which the air conditioning device last received a stop signal from the wired controller; the current indoor temperature is corrected using the first correction value to obtain a first corrected temperature value, and the first corrected temperature value is used as the operating temperature of the air conditioning device.

[0070] It should be noted that the air conditioning equipment operation method provided in this application embodiment can be executed by one or more of the air conditioning equipment 101, 102, 103, and / or by one or more wired controllers 105 using wired or wireless control. Accordingly, the air conditioning equipment operation device provided in this application embodiment is generally set in the corresponding air conditioning equipment, and / or in the wired controller 105, but this application is not limited thereto.

[0071] Furthermore, this application also proposes an operating method, apparatus, air conditioning equipment, and storage medium for an air conditioning device.

[0072] Figure 2 A schematic flowchart illustrating an operation method of an air conditioning device according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 As shown, this method is applied to air conditioning equipment and includes:

[0073] S101, upon receiving the start signal from the wired controller, a first correction value is determined based on the current indoor temperature and the historical indoor temperature. The current indoor temperature is the indoor temperature at which the air conditioning unit is currently located, and the historical indoor temperature is the indoor temperature at which the air conditioning unit last received the shutdown signal from the wired controller.

[0074] First, it's important to clarify that while the wired controller and the air conditioner may be unable to transmit temperature setting data due to incompatible models (or the wired controller may be able to transmit temperature setting data but the air conditioner cannot recognize it), the on / off signals and cooling / heating signals of the air conditioner are common signals used by devices in a home environment. Therefore, the wired controller can usually still control the on / off function and cooling / heating function of the air conditioner.

[0075] In one embodiment, the start signal transmitted by the remote controller can be a Y signal. For example, this could include Y1 and / or Y2 signals.

[0076] Among them, signal Y1 is the start signal for the air conditioning equipment to operate at low power. Signal Y2 is the start signal for the air conditioning equipment to operate at high power (relative to Y1).

[0077] Here, the process of signal control between the wired controller and the air conditioning equipment is explained:

[0078] Among them, Y1 and Y2 are both start signals, and W1 and W2 are signals to control the air conditioning equipment to perform electric auxiliary heating.

[0079] As an example, for the cooling mode of air conditioning equipment:

[0080] Y1 (i.e., the air conditioning unit receives the Y1 signal): Level 1 cooling.

[0081] Y1+Y2 (meaning the air conditioning unit receives both Y1 and Y2 signals simultaneously): Cooling level 2.

[0082] As another example, for the heating mode of the air conditioning unit (i.e., the air conditioning unit also receives the B signal of the heating mode):

[0083] Y1 (i.e., the air conditioning unit receives the Y1 signal): Level 1 heating.

[0084] Y1+Y2 (meaning the air conditioning unit receives both Y1 and Y2 signals simultaneously): Heating at level 2.

[0085] Y1+Y2+W1 (meaning the air conditioner receives Y1 signal, Y2 signal and W1 signal at the same time): 3-level heating (meaning the air conditioner's highest power output + low-level electric auxiliary heating).

[0086] Y1+Y2+W1+W2 (meaning the air conditioner receives Y1 signal, Y2 signal, W1 signal and W2 signal simultaneously): 4-level heating (the air conditioner's maximum power output + the maximum output of the electric auxiliary heating).

[0087] Furthermore, after receiving the start signal, since the air conditioning unit cannot read the target temperature set by the user on the online controller, it needs to determine the following two temperature data points and use them to determine the first correction value:

[0088] 1. Current indoor temperature:

[0089] In one approach, the air conditioning unit determines the current indoor temperature by measuring it using a temperature sensor located on the indoor unit's panel. As an example, the temperature sensor can be a negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC), whose resistance decreases as temperature increases and increases as temperature decreases. In another approach, the temperature sensor's resistance changes with temperature, and this change can be converted into an electrical signal via a circuit. This temperature change is then converted into a voltage change and input to the microprocessor (CPU) of the indoor electronic control unit. After processing and calculation, the CPU outputs a corresponding signal to control the operation of relevant electrical components (such as the compressor), thereby achieving the purpose of obtaining the indoor temperature.

[0090] 2. Historical indoor temperature.

[0091] The historical indoor temperature refers to the indoor temperature at the time when the air conditioning unit last received a shutdown signal from the wired controller. In other words, it is the indoor temperature at the time when the user last turned off the air conditioning, relative to the current time the user turned on the air conditioning.

[0092] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the application, after detecting the current indoor temperature and the historical indoor temperature, a first correction value for subsequent temperature compensation of the current room temperature can be determined accordingly.

[0093] In one embodiment of this application, a first correction value can be determined based on the current indoor temperature and historical indoor temperatures, including:

[0094] The initial correction value is calculated based on the difference between the current indoor temperature and the historical indoor temperature;

[0095] If the initial correction value is detected to be less than the correction limit value, the initial correction value is used as the first correction value. The correction limit value is determined based on the geographical area where the air conditioning equipment is located.

[0096] If the initial correction value is detected to be greater than or equal to the correction limit value, the correction limit value is used as the first correction value.

[0097] In one embodiment of this application, the difference between the two can be calculated, and this difference can be used as a first correction value.

[0098] In another approach, to avoid extreme situations where the temperature difference is too large due to temperature recording errors or abnormal indoor conditions, this embodiment of the application can first compare the difference with a correction limit value. Only if the difference is determined to be less than the correction limit value is it formally determined as the first correction value. Otherwise, the correction limit value can be determined as the first correction value.

[0099] As an example, the correction limit value can be determined based on the geographical area where the air conditioning equipment is located. For instance, when the geographical area where the air conditioning equipment is located is one with relatively small average temperature variations, the range of the correction limit value can be relatively small. Conversely, when the geographical area where the air conditioning equipment is located is one with large average temperature variations, the range of the correction limit value can be relatively large.

[0100] S102, the current indoor temperature is corrected using the first correction value to obtain the first corrected temperature value, and the first corrected temperature value is used as the operating temperature of the air conditioning equipment.

[0101] For example, if the air conditioner receives a start signal (e.g., a Y1 signal) from the wired controller at 8:00 AM on a certain day, the air conditioner needs to use a temperature sensor to obtain the indoor temperature h1 at that time (e.g., 20 degrees Celsius). It also needs to obtain the indoor temperature h2 at 8:00 PM the previous day (i.e., the indoor temperature when the user last turned off the air conditioner, e.g., 18 degrees Celsius) based on locally stored temperature control records.

[0102] In one approach, the air conditioning unit can calculate the difference between the two (i.e., h1 - h2 = 2 degrees) and use it as the initial correction value. Based on the current geographical location of the air conditioning unit, a matching correction limit value of 5 degrees is determined. Furthermore, after determining that the correction limit value is greater than the initial correction value, the first correction value can be determined to be 2 degrees.

[0103] In another embodiment of this application, the first correction value can also be determined based on the following formula:

[0104]

[0105] Where h is the first correction value, h1 is the current indoor temperature, h2 is the historical indoor temperature, and h3 is the correction limit value.

[0106] In one embodiment of this application, after determining a first corrected temperature value, the current indoor temperature can be corrected using this value, and the air conditioning equipment can be operated with the corrected temperature value. Examples include the following two cases:

[0107] First scenario:

[0108] The air conditioning unit is detected to be in cooling mode, and the current indoor temperature is corrected by cooling using the first correction value.

[0109] In one approach, if it is determined that the air conditioning unit is currently in cooling mode, the air conditioning unit can subtract a first correction value of 2 degrees from the current indoor temperature of 20 degrees (i.e., use the first correction value to lower the current indoor temperature), thereby setting 18 degrees as the first correction temperature value. This temperature is then used as the operating temperature of the air conditioning unit.

[0110] The second scenario:

[0111] In one approach, if it is determined that the air conditioning unit is currently in heating mode, the air conditioning unit can add a first correction value of 2 degrees to the current indoor temperature of 20 degrees (i.e., use the first correction value to lower the current indoor temperature), thereby setting 22 degrees as the first correction temperature value. This temperature is then used as the operating temperature of the air conditioning unit.

[0112] By applying the technical solution of this application, after the air conditioning equipment receives the start signal transmitted by the wired controller, it can calculate the target temperature set by the user on the wired controller based on the current indoor temperature and the indoor temperature when the user last turned off the air conditioning equipment, and use this temperature to operate the air conditioning equipment. This achieves the goal of automatically predicting the set temperature based on the user's recent start / stop signals when the air conditioning equipment cannot know the set temperature on the wired controller. Furthermore, it avoids the problem of not being able to provide a comfortable temperature environment for users with different temperature preferences due to a single temperature prediction method, and the drawbacks that cannot be completely eliminated.

[0113] Optionally, in another embodiment based on the method described above in this application, the method includes:

[0114] The system detects that the duration for which the first corrected temperature value is used as the operating temperature of the air conditioning unit has reached the preset duration.

[0115] Upon receiving the temperature adjustment signal transmitted by the wired controller, obtain the second correction value associated with the air conditioning equipment;

[0116] The first corrected temperature value is corrected using the second corrected value to obtain the second corrected temperature value;

[0117] The second corrected temperature value is used as the operating temperature of the air conditioning equipment.

[0118] In one embodiment of this application, after controlling the air conditioning equipment to operate at a first corrected temperature value, other temperature values ​​can be used as the operating temperature of the air conditioning equipment when it is detected that the air conditioning equipment has been running for a long time.

[0119] First, it should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the preset duration. For example, it can be 30 minutes, or it can be 60 minutes, etc.

[0120] As an example, the second correction value is a fixed value. It can be determined based on the geographical area where the air conditioning unit is located, or it can be determined based on the user's temperature preference. For example, when the geographical area where the air conditioning unit is located is one with relatively small average temperature variations, the range of the second correction value can be relatively small. Conversely, when the geographical area where the air conditioning unit is located is one with large average temperature variations, the range of the second correction value can be relatively large.

[0121] In one approach, the temperature adjustment signal can be a signal input by the user for the purpose of changing the current operating power. For example, a signal to adjust the indoor temperature to a higher or lower operating power (e.g., switching from level one to level two, or from level two to level one, etc.).

[0122] In another approach, the temperature adjustment signal can also be a signal input by the user to change the current operating mode. For example, a signal to adjust the indoor temperature to a cooling mode or a heating mode (e.g., switching from cooling mode to heating mode, or vice versa).

[0123] In one embodiment, the second correction value can be obtained when the following two conditions are met, so as to subsequently adjust the operating temperature of the air conditioner based on the second correction value:

[0124] First scenario:

[0125] The system detects that the air conditioning unit is currently in cooling mode, receives a cooling signal from the wired controller to lower the indoor temperature, and obtains a second correction value.

[0126] In one approach, if it is determined that the air conditioning unit is currently in cooling mode, and the user still inputs a cooling signal to further reduce the indoor temperature, it means that the user currently needs a lower indoor temperature environment. Therefore, in this embodiment, the current indoor temperature can be subtracted by a second correction value (i.e., the current indoor temperature can be corrected by using the second correction value), and the corrected temperature value can be used as the operating temperature of the air conditioning unit.

[0127] In one embodiment of this application, it can monitor whether a cooling signal is received while a start signal is continuously received; and if a start signal and a cooling signal are subsequently detected to be received simultaneously, a second correction value can be obtained.

[0128] As an example, let's take the start signal as Y1 and the cooling signal as Y2. When the air conditioner detects that it has received the Y1 signal for a preset duration and then simultaneously receives the Y2 signal, it means that the user needs the air conditioner to operate at a higher power to run in cooling mode (i.e., it has received a cooling signal to lower the indoor temperature). Therefore, in this embodiment, the current indoor temperature can be subtracted by a second correction value (i.e., the current indoor temperature is corrected by using the second correction value to obtain a second corrected temperature value), and this second corrected temperature value can be used as the operating temperature of the air conditioner.

[0129] In one embodiment of this application, when the air conditioning equipment determines that it is continuously receiving a cooling signal, the operating temperature of the air conditioning equipment can be adjusted by using the second correction value every first preset time interval.

[0130] As an example, the first preset duration could be half an hour or one hour, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0131] The second scenario:

[0132] The system detects that the air conditioning unit is currently in heating mode, receives a heating signal from the wired controller to raise the indoor temperature, and obtains a second correction value.

[0133] In one approach, if it is determined that the air conditioning unit is currently in heating mode, and the user still inputs a cooling signal to further increase the indoor temperature, it means that the user currently needs a higher indoor temperature environment. Therefore, in this embodiment, the current indoor temperature can be added to a second correction value (i.e., the current indoor temperature can be corrected using the second correction value), and the corrected temperature value can be used as the operating temperature of the air conditioning unit.

[0134] In one embodiment of this application, a second correction value can be obtained when a heating signal is detected that corresponds to a signal in which the heating power exceeds a preset power.

[0135] As an example, let's take the start signal as Y1, the heating signal as Y2, and the W1 and W2 signals as an illustration. When the air conditioner detects that after continuously receiving the Y1, Y2, and W1 signals for a preset duration, it also detects that it has simultaneously received the W2 signal (that is, the heating signal is received, which corresponds to the heating power exceeding the preset power). This means that the user needs the air conditioner to operate at a higher power in heating mode.

[0136] Therefore, in this embodiment of the application, the current indoor temperature can be added to a second correction value (i.e., the current indoor temperature can be corrected by using the second correction value to obtain a second correction temperature value), and the second correction temperature value can be used as the operating temperature of the air conditioning equipment.

[0137] In one embodiment of this application, when the air conditioning equipment determines that it is continuously receiving a heating signal, the operating temperature of the air conditioning equipment can be adjusted by using the second correction value every second preset time interval.

[0138] As an example, the second preset duration could be half an hour or one hour, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0139] In one approach, such as Figure 3 The diagram illustrates the overall flow chart of an air conditioning device operation method according to an embodiment of this application, including:

[0140] Step 1: Upon receiving the start signal from the wired controller, determine the first correction value based on the current indoor temperature and historical indoor temperatures. Then proceed to either step 2a or step 2b.

[0141] The initial correction value is calculated based on the difference between the current indoor temperature and the historical indoor temperature;

[0142] If the initial correction value is detected to be less than the correction limit value, the initial correction value is used as the first correction value. The correction limit value is determined based on the geographical area where the air conditioning equipment is located.

[0143] If the initial correction value is detected to be greater than or equal to the correction limit value, the correction limit value is used as the first correction value.

[0144] In one approach, the first correction value can be determined by the following formula:

[0145]

[0146] Where h is the first correction value, h1 is the current indoor temperature, h2 is the historical indoor temperature, and h3 is the correction limit value.

[0147] Step 2a: Detect that the air conditioning unit is currently in cooling mode, use the first correction value to cool down the current indoor temperature, obtain the first corrected temperature value, and use the first corrected temperature value as the operating temperature of the air conditioning unit.

[0148] In one approach, the first correction temperature value can be determined by the following formula:

[0149] T1s = T1 - h;

[0150] Where h is the first correction value, T1s is the first correction temperature value, and T1 is the current indoor temperature.

[0151] Step 2b: Detect that the air conditioning unit is currently in heating mode, use the first correction value to correct the current indoor temperature, obtain the first corrected temperature value, and use the first corrected temperature value as the operating temperature of the air conditioning unit.

[0152] In one approach, the first correction temperature value can be determined by the following formula:

[0153] T1s = T1 + h;

[0154] Where h is the first correction value, T1s is the first correction temperature value, and T1 is the current indoor temperature.

[0155] Step 3: Detect that the duration for which the first corrected temperature value is used as the operating temperature of the air conditioning unit has reached the preset duration. Then proceed to step 4a or step 4b.

[0156] Step 4a: Detect that the air conditioning unit is currently in cooling mode, and monitor whether a cooling signal is received while continuously receiving the start signal.

[0157] Step 5a: Detect that both the start signal and the cooling signal are received simultaneously and continuously, and obtain the second correction value.

[0158] Step 6a: Use the second correction value to perform a cooling correction on the first correction temperature value to obtain the second correction temperature value, and use the second correction temperature value as the operating temperature of the air conditioning equipment.

[0159] In one approach, the process by which the air conditioning unit obtains the second corrected temperature value can be as follows:

[0160] When the signal currently received by the air conditioning unit is Y2=on and is converted from Y2=off and Y1=on, the second corrected temperature value can be determined by the following formula:

[0161] T1s = T1 - a;

[0162] Where a is the second correction value, T1s is the second correction temperature value, and T1 is the current indoor temperature.

[0163] Step 7a: If a cooling signal is continuously received, the operating temperature of the air conditioning unit is adjusted by lowering the temperature using a second correction value every first preset time interval. Then proceed to step 8.

[0164] Step 4b: Detect that the air conditioning unit is currently in heating mode, detect the heating signal corresponding to the heating power exceeding the preset power, and obtain the second correction value.

[0165] Step 5b: Use the second correction value to perform a temperature increase correction on the first correction temperature value to obtain the second correction temperature value, and use the second correction temperature value as the operating temperature of the air conditioning equipment.

[0166] Step 6b: If a heating signal is continuously received, the operating temperature of the air conditioning unit is adjusted using the second correction value every second preset time interval. Then proceed to step 8.

[0167] In one approach, the process by which the air conditioning unit obtains the second corrected temperature value can be as follows:

[0168] When the signal currently received by the air conditioning unit is W2 = on and the duration is t, the second corrected temperature value can be determined by the following formula:

[0169] T1s = T1 + a;

[0170] Where a is the second correction value, T1s is the second correction temperature value, and T1 is the current indoor temperature.

[0171] Step 7b: If a cooling signal is continuously received, the operating temperature of the air conditioning equipment is adjusted by using a second correction value every first preset time interval.

[0172] Step 8: Upon receiving the shutdown signal from the wired controller, determine the current indoor temperature value and use it as the historical indoor temperature of the air conditioning unit.

[0173] By applying the technical solution of this application, after the air conditioning equipment receives the start signal transmitted by the wired controller, it can calculate the target temperature set by the user on the wired controller based on the current indoor temperature and the indoor temperature when the user last turned off the air conditioning equipment, and use this temperature to operate the air conditioning equipment. This achieves two goals: firstly, when the air conditioning equipment cannot know the set temperature on the wired controller, it can automatically predict the set temperature by combining the start / stop signals generated by the user in the most recent time period; secondly, it avoids the problem of failing to provide a comfortable temperature environment for users with different temperature preferences due to the use of a single temperature prediction method.
