[0059] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0060] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 7 The air outlet control method, device, component, air conditioner 1000 and readable storage medium according to the embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0061] First, refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 Several air outlet positions and air sweeping states of the air outlet assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention are explained to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0062] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, one end of the first air guide plate 11 adjacent to the air duct plate 13 and one end of the second air guide plate 12 adjacent to the air duct plate 13 define an air inlet, and one end of the first air guide plate 11 away from the air duct plate 13 and one end of the second air guide plate 12 away from the air duct plate 13 define an air outlet. The larger the opening of the air outlet (the larger the air outlet gap), the greater the air outlet, and the smaller the opening of the air outlet (the smaller the air outlet gap), the smaller the air outlet.

[0063] See also Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 As shown in the cross-sectional view, at this time the air outlet assembly 100 is in the initial position, the first air guide plate 11 is located on the extension line of the plate body on one side of the air duct plate 13, and the second air guide plate 12 is located on the extension line of the plate body on the other side of the air duct plate 13. This position is defined as the initial position. In the normal air outlet mode, air is discharged with the air outlet gap (i.e., the opening size of the air outlet), and the temperature regulating airflow (lowering or raising the indoor temperature) is maximized, and the indoor temperature regulation can be achieved faster, but the airflow is large, the impact on the human body is obvious, and the user experience is poor.

[0064] See also Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 As shown in the cross-sectional view, at this time the air outlet assembly 100 is in a large gap position, the second air guide plate 12 is located on the extension line of the plate body on the other side of the air duct plate 13, and the first air guide plate 11 limits one end of the air outlet to rotate toward the second air guide plate 12 at a certain angle. At this time, the opening size of the air outlet is smaller than the opening size of the air outlet in the initial position, and the air outlet gap is smaller, which is defined as a large gap position. Under this gap, the air outlet opening is smaller than the air outlet opening in the initial position, and the temperature-regulating airflow is small, which can reduce the impact on the human body and improve the use experience.

[0065] See also Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3As shown in the cross-sectional view, at this time the air outlet assembly 100 is in a small gap position, the first air guide plate 11 is located on the extension line of one side plate of the air duct plate 13, and the second air guide plate 12 limits one end of the air outlet to rotate toward the first air guide plate 11 at a certain angle. At this time, the opening size of the air outlet is smaller than the opening size of the air outlet at the large gap position, and the air outlet gap is smaller, which is defined as a small gap position. Under this gap, the opening of the air outlet is smaller than the air outlet opening at the large gap position, and the temperature-regulating airflow is smaller, which can also reduce the impact on the human body and improve the user experience.

[0066] See also Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 As shown in the cross-sectional view, at this time, the air outlet assembly 100 is in a strong sweeping state, and the air outlet gap is the air outlet gap defined at the large gap position, and is Figure 2 The large gap position shown (at this time the second air guide plate 12 is located on the extension line of the other side plate of the air duct plate 13) is rotated to the first air guide plate 11 is located on the extension line of the one side plate of the air duct plate 13 to achieve a strong wind sweep under the large gap of the air outlet.

[0067] See also Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 As shown in the cross-sectional view, at this time, the air outlet assembly 100 is in a weak sweeping state, and the air outlet gap is the air outlet gap defined at the small gap position, and is Figure 3 The small gap position shown (at this time the first air guide plate 11 is located on the extension line of one side plate of the air duct plate 13) is rotated to the second air guide plate 12 is located on the extension line of one side plate of the air duct plate 13 to achieve a weak wind sweep under the small gap of the air outlet.

[0068] Understandably, Figure 4 and Figure 5 They are respectively schematic diagrams of wind sweeping state, namely Figure 4 In this state, with a larger air outlet gap, it moves from the first air outlet position (the air outlet faces the bottom of the paper surface) where the air is discharged to the left or right side of the paper surface (the air outlet faces the left or right side of the paper surface) to complete a strong air sweep. Figure 5 In this state, with a smaller air outlet gap, it moves from the second air outlet position for discharging air to the left or right side of the paper surface to the first air outlet position for discharging air below the paper surface to complete a weak air sweep, and a strong air sweep plus a weak air sweep is defined as an air outlet cycle. During the air outlet process of an air outlet cycle, the air volume can be changed dynamically to more realistically simulate natural wind and improve the user experience.

[0069] Among them, the air supply mode corresponding to an air outlet cycle that can perform one strong sweep and one weak sweep is defined as a pulsating air supply mode, and the air sweeping performed according to the pulsating air supply mode is defined as a circulating sweeping. After switching to the pulsating air supply mode, an air outlet cycle can be performed. There can be multiple air outlet cycles, and the large gap of each air outlet cycle is different, and the small gap of each air outlet cycle is different, and they are defined as one air outlet cycle to N air outlet cycles, respectively. One air outlet cycle can be performed for multiple cycles, two air outlet cycles can be performed for multiple cycles, or N air outlet cycles can be performed for multiple cycles to complete the pulsating sweeping (the air volume change amplitude and air volume change size of each air outlet cycle may be different), or one air outlet cycle to N air outlet cycles can be regarded as a large cycle, that is, one air outlet cycle to N air outlet cycles are all sub-cycles in the large cycle, and multiple sub-cycles form a large cycle, and at least one large cycle or multiple large cycles are performed to complete the circulating sweeping.

[0070] like Figure 7 As shown, the air outlet control method according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0071] Acquire a pulsating air supply mode signal, at which time the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are in the initial position;

[0072] One end of the first air guide plate 11 on the air outlet side moves toward the second air guide plate 12 so that the air outlet gap of the air outlet is the first largest gap;

[0073] The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 rotate synchronously until the first air guide plate 11 is located on the extension line of the air duct plate 13;

[0074] One end of the second air guide plate 12 on the air outlet side moves toward the first air guide plate 11, so that the air outlet gap of the air outlet is a first small gap;

[0075] The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 rotate synchronously until the second air guide plate 12 is located on the extension line of the air duct plate 13 to complete the air circulation;

[0076] The first large gap is larger than the first small gap. In the initial position, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are respectively located on the extension lines of both sides of the air duct plate 13 .

[0077] Specifically, after obtaining the pulsating air supply mode signal, the air conditioner 1000 switches to the pulsating air supply mode. In the pulsating air supply mode, the first air guide plate 11 in the initial position rotates toward the second air guide plate 12 in the initial position to adjust the air outlet gap to the first large gap. After adjusting to the first large gap, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are controlled to rotate synchronously until the first air guide plate 11 moves to the initial position to complete a large air volume sweep (i.e., strong air sweep), and the second air guide plate 12 is controlled to further rotate a certain angle toward the first air guide plate 11 to adjust to the first small gap. At this time, the first small gap is smaller than the first large gap. In the first small gap state, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 rotate synchronously until the second air guide plate 12 moves to the initial position to complete a small air volume sweep (i.e., weak air sweep). One strong air sweep plus one weak air sweep realizes one air outlet cycle.

[0078] According to the air outlet control method of the embodiment of the present invention, in one air outlet cycle, one strong sweep and one weak sweep can be completed. The air volumes of the two sweeps are different, so pulsating air supply can be realized to simulate real natural wind, improve the blowing sensation, and enhance the user experience.

[0079] It can be understood that the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 can respectively adopt a control motor, and the first air guide plate 11 is driven to rotate relative to the second air guide plate 12 by one control motor, and the second air guide plate 12 is driven to rotate relative to the first air guide plate 11 by another control motor. The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 can be controlled to rotate synchronously by a driving motor, that is, after the air outlet gap is adjusted, they rotate synchronously under the control of the driving motor to complete the circulation sweeping of the air from the air outlet position facing downward on the paper to the air outlet position facing upward on the paper or from the air outlet position on the left or right side of the paper to the air outlet position facing downward on the paper.

[0080] It should be pointed out that, during the process of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 synchronously rotating to the point where the first air guide plate 11 is located on the extension line of the air duct plate 13, the air outlet gap between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 remains at the first large gap; during the process of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 synchronously rotating to the point where the second air guide plate 12 is located on the extension line of the air duct plate 13, the air outlet gap between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 remains at the first small gap.

[0081] In this way, during the strong sweep and weak sweep processes, the air volume can remain stable, so that the air flow adjustment effect in the indoor space is better, the temperature adjustment uniformity in the indoor space is better, and the user experience of the fan or air conditioner 1000 using the control method of the present application is better.

[0082] See also Figure 7As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the control method further includes:

[0083] Determine whether a circulating air sweep signal is received;

[0084] If yes, the first air guide plate 11 is controlled to move to the initial position and the air outlet cycle is repeated;

[0085] If not, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are controlled to return to their initial positions.

[0086] That is to say, if a circulating air sweeping signal is received, it indicates that the user has a high demand for circulating air sweeping through the pulsating air sweeping mode. At this time, the first air guide plate 11 is controlled to move to the initial position, and the above-mentioned pulsating air supply process is repeated multiple times. Because the second air guide plate 12 has moved to the initial position after completing one pulsating air supply, it is only necessary to control the first air guide plate 11 to move to the initial position and directly repeat the air outlet cycle.

[0087] In this way, circulating sweeping can be performed under pulsating air supply, so that the airflow in the indoor space during the circulating sweeping process is closer to the natural wind, effectively improving the user experience.

[0088] It can be understood that the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 can respectively adopt a control motor, and the first air guide plate 11 is driven to rotate relative to the second air guide plate 12 by one control motor, and the second air guide plate 12 is driven to rotate relative to the first air guide plate 11 by another control motor. The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 can be controlled to rotate synchronously by a driving motor, that is, after the air outlet gap is adjusted, they rotate synchronously under the control of the driving motor to complete the circulation sweeping of the air from the air outlet position facing downward on the paper to the air outlet position facing upward on the paper or from the air outlet position on the left or right side of the paper to the air outlet position facing downward on the paper.

[0089] In some embodiments, the air discharge cycle includes: one air discharge cycle to N air discharge cycles, N ≥ 2,

[0090] N air circulations include:

[0091] One end of the first air guide plate 11 on the air outlet side moves toward the second air guide plate 12, so that the air outlet gap of the air outlet is the Nth largest gap;

[0092] The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 rotate synchronously until the first air guide plate 11 is located on the extension line of the air duct plate 13;

[0093] One end of the second air guide plate 12 on the air outlet side moves toward the first air guide plate 11, so that the air outlet gap of the air outlet is the Nth smallest gap;

[0094] The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 rotate synchronously until the second air guide plate 12 is located on the extension line of the air duct plate 13 to complete N air outlet cycles; wherein

[0095] The first largest gap to the Nth largest gap are all different, and the first smallest gap to the Nth smallest gap are all different.

[0096] It can be understood that the air outlet cycle may include multiple sub-cycles, and multiple sub-cycles form a large cycle. Each cycle sweeps the air for one or more large cycles. The air outlet cycle may also include only one sub-cycle, and continuously repeat the self-cycle to complete the cycle sweeping. Multiple self-cycles are defined as one air outlet cycle, two air outlet cycles to N air outlet cycles, respectively. The large gap of each air outlet cycle is larger than the small gap, and the large gaps and small gaps of multiple air outlet cycles are different. The multiple large gaps may be increasing, decreasing or staggered, and the multiple small gaps may be increasing, decreasing or staggered. Preferably, the multiple large gaps are staggered without obvious increasing or decreasing trend in size, and the multiple small gaps are staggered without obvious increasing or decreasing trend in size, so as to make the natural wind mode more realistic and provide a better user experience.

[0097] Exemplarily, the air outlet cycle includes three sub-cycles in total, and the air conditioner 1000 performs circulating air outlet to specifically describe the adjustment process of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12. The air outlet cycle includes one air outlet cycle, two air outlet cycles and three air outlet cycles. The adjustment process of one air outlet cycle is: one end of the air outlet side of the first air guide plate 11 moves toward the second air guide plate 12 so that the air outlet gap of the air outlet is the first largest gap; the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 rotate synchronously until the first air guide plate 11 is located at the extension of the air duct plate 13 The air outlet side of the second air guide plate 12 moves toward the first air guide plate 11, so that the air outlet gap of the air outlet is the first small gap; the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 rotate synchronously until the second air guide plate 12 is located on the extension line of the air duct plate 13 to complete an air outlet cycle; after completing the first air outlet cycle, a secondary air outlet cycle is performed, and the adjustment process of the secondary air outlet cycle is as follows: the air outlet side of the first air guide plate 11 moves toward the second air guide plate 12, so that the air outlet gap of the air outlet is the second largest gap; the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 rotate synchronously until the second air guide plate 12 is located on the extension line of the air duct plate 13 to complete an air outlet cycle. The plate 12 rotates synchronously until the first air guide plate 11 is located on the extension line of the air duct plate 13; one end of the air outlet side of the second air guide plate 12 moves toward the first air guide plate 11, so that the air outlet gap of the air outlet is the second small gap; the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 rotate synchronously until the second air guide plate 12 is located on the extension line of the air duct plate 13, so as to complete the secondary air outlet cycle; after completing the secondary air outlet cycle, a third air outlet cycle is performed, and the adjustment process of the three air outlet cycles is: one end of the air outlet side of the first air guide plate 11 moves toward the second air guide plate 12, so that the air outlet gap of the air outlet is the second small gap. The air outlet gap of the air outlet is the third largest gap; the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 rotate synchronously until the first air guide plate 11 is located on the extension line of the air duct plate 13; one end of the air outlet side of the second air guide plate 12 moves toward the first air guide plate 11, so that the air outlet gap of the air outlet is the third smallest gap; the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 rotate synchronously until the second air guide plate 12 is located on the extension line of the air duct plate 13, so as to complete three air outlet cycles. After completing three air outlet cycles, one pulsating air outlet is completed, and the above process is repeated many times to realize circulating air sweeping.

[0098] Therefore, when performing cyclic sweeping, in each air outlet cycle (such as: the first air outlet cycle, the second air outlet cycle, etc.), when the air outlet is at the first air outlet position below the paper, the air outlet gap is relatively large, and when the air outlet is at the left or right side of the paper, the air outlet gap is relatively small, so that a strong sweep with a relatively large air volume and a weak sweep with a relatively small air volume can be achieved in each sub-cycle.

[0099] Furthermore, the control method further includes:

[0100] Determine whether a circulating air sweep signal is received;

[0101] If yes, the first air guide plate 11 is controlled to be reset to the initial position, and the air outlet cycle is repeated once to N times;

[0102] If not, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are controlled to return to their initial positions.

[0103] Therefore, circulating air sweeping is achieved by circulating one or more large cycles. During the circulating air sweeping process, the air volumes of multiple strong sweeps are different, and the air volumes of multiple weak sweeps are different, so as to simulate natural wind fluctuations, so that the indoor air flow in the circulating air outlet mode is closer to the indoor air flow under natural wind disturbance, so as to improve the user experience and usage feeling.

[0104] like Figure 6 As shown, a control device according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention includes:

[0105] The acquisition module 21 is used to acquire the pulsating air supply mode signal during the air outlet control process;

[0106] The control module 22 is used to control the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 to complete the air outlet cycle after obtaining the pulsating air supply mode signal.

[0107] Specifically, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 can respectively adopt a control motor, and the first air guide plate 11 is driven to rotate relative to the second air guide plate 12 by a control motor (first motor), and the second air guide plate 12 is driven to rotate relative to the first air guide plate 11 by another control motor (second motor). The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 can be controlled to rotate synchronously by a driving motor, that is, after the air outlet gap is adjusted, they rotate synchronously under the control of the driving motor (third motor) to complete the rotation from the air outlet position downward on the paper to the air outlet position upward on the paper or from the air outlet position on the left or right side of the paper to the air outlet position on the paper. In order to realize the circulating sweeping of the air at the air outlet position below, the control module 22 is electrically connected to the acquisition module 21, the first motor, the second motor and the third motor. The control module 22 controls the first motor based on the signal sent by the acquisition module 21, so that the first air guide plate 11 can rotate a certain angle toward the second air guide plate 12, and further controls the third motor to realize strong sweeping, controls the second motor so that the second air guide plate 12 can rotate a certain angle toward the first air guide plate 11, and further controls the third motor to realize weak sweeping, and one strong sweeping and one weak sweeping form an air outlet cycle to realize a pulsating air supply mode and improve the user experience.

[0108] It should be noted that the control module 22 can be integrated into the air outlet assembly 100 or into the controller of the air conditioner 1000 .
