In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.

[0054] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 8 The present invention describes an air supply control method and device for an air conditioner and an air conditioner.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner provided by the present invention may be a cabinet unit, and the indoor unit mainly comprises: a casing 100 and an air guide tube assembly 200 and other components.

[0056] The housing 100 is provided with a first air outlet 101 , and the shape of the first air outlet 101 may be circular. When the first air outlet 101 is opened, the air after heat exchange in the housing 100 may be discharged through the first air outlet 101 .

[0057] The air guide tube assembly 200 includes: a first cylinder 201 and a second cylinder 202. The shapes of the first cylinder 201 and the second cylinder 202 can be cylindrical. The first cylinder 201 is arranged in the casing 100, and the first cylinder 201 is located at the first air outlet 101. The center of the first air outlet 101 can be located on the central axis of the first cylinder 201.

[0058] The second cylinder 202 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the first cylinder 201, that is, the second cylinder 202 can slide relative to the first cylinder 201 to telescopically move at the first air outlet 101; a second air inlet 203 is provided in the middle of the second cylinder 202, and the first cylinder 201 is suitable for opening and closing the second air inlet 203. When the second air inlet 203 is opened, the air after heat exchange in the housing 100 can enter the first cylinder 201 through the second air inlet 203. Specifically, when the second cylinder 202 extends out of the housing 100 through the first air outlet 101, the wall surface of the first cylinder 201 blocks the second air inlet 203, so that the second air inlet 203 is closed; when the second cylinder 202 is retracted into the housing 100 through the first air outlet 101, the wall surface of the first cylinder 201 is misaligned with the second air inlet 203, so that the second air inlet 203 is opened.

[0059] The outer end of the second cylinder 202 is provided with a second air outlet 204, and the edge of the second air outlet 204 is provided with a damper 205, which is a flange structure integrally formed on the second cylinder 202, and is suitable for opening and closing the first air outlet 101. Specifically, when the second cylinder 202 extends out of the housing 100 through the first air outlet 101, the damper 205 is away from the first air outlet 101, thereby opening the first air outlet 101; when the second cylinder 202 is retracted into the housing 100 through the first air outlet 101, the damper 205 is close to the first air outlet 101 and blocks and closes it, thereby closing the first air outlet 101.

[0060] The air supply modes of the indoor unit of the air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present invention are roughly described below, which mainly include: a short-distance air supply mode, a long-distance air supply mode and a uniform air supply mode.

[0061] Close distance air supply mode: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second cylinder 202 extends forward from the casing 100 through the first air outlet 101, and the wall of the first cylinder 201 completely blocks the second air inlet 203, and the second air inlet 203 is closed. At the same time, the damper 205 moves away from the first air outlet 101, thereby opening the first air outlet 101, and the air after heat exchange in the casing 100 is discharged circumferentially through the first air outlet 101, achieving a close and soft air supply effect.

[0062] Long distance air supply mode: Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the second cylinder 202 is retracted into the casing 100 through the first air outlet 101, the wall of the first cylinder 201 is offset from the second air inlet 203, and the second air inlet 203 is opened. At this time, the damper 205 is close to the first air outlet 101 and blocks and closes it, thereby closing the first air outlet 101. The air after heat exchange in the casing 100 enters the first cylinder 201 through the second air inlet 203, and is discharged axially forward through the second air outlet 204 of the second cylinder 202, thereby achieving a long-distance air supply effect.

[0063] It is understandable that when the air conditioner is in the off state, the second cylinder 202 retracts into the casing 100 through the first air outlet 101 .

[0064] Uniform air supply mode: the second cylinder 202 extends forward from the casing 100 through the first air outlet 101, and the extension distance is less than the extension distance in the short-distance air supply mode. The wall of the first cylinder 201 partially blocks the second air inlet 203, and the second air inlet 203 is not fully opened. At the same time, the damper 205 is away from the first air outlet 101, thereby opening the first air outlet 101, and the air after heat exchange in the casing 100 is discharged through the first air outlet 101 and the second air outlet 204 at the same time, realizing simultaneous air supply in multiple directions such as axial and circumferential directions, thereby improving the uniformity of indoor temperature.

[0065] Therefore, the air conditioner indoor unit provided in the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the air supply direction and air supply distance to achieve a variety of air supply modes, thereby meeting the needs of different users and improving the user experience, and has the characteristics of simple structure, stability and reliability.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air guide tube assembly also includes: a driver, which is arranged in the casing 100, and the driver is located on the opposite side of the first air outlet 101. For example, when the first air outlet 101 is located on the front side of the casing 100, the driver is located on the rear side of the casing 100; the driving end of the driver is connected to the second cylinder 202 for driving the second cylinder 202 to telescope and move.

[0067] The specific type of the driver of the present invention is not particularly limited, as long as it can drive the second cylinder 202 to move linearly. For example, the driver can be a linear drive device such as a linear motor and an electric push rod.

[0068] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a connecting seat 206 is provided on the outer wall of the second cylinder 202 , and the driving end of the driver is connected to the connecting seat 206 .

[0069] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the air guide tube assembly 200 also includes: a third cylinder 207, the shape of the third cylinder 207 can be cylindrical, the third cylinder 207 is arranged in the casing 100, and is located on the opposite side of the first air outlet 101. For example, when the first air outlet 101 is located on the front side of the casing 100, the third cylinder 207 is located on the rear side of the casing 100, and the third cylinder 207 and the first cylinder 201 are spaced apart for flow; the inner end of the second cylinder 202 can be slidably mounted on the outer wall of the third cylinder 207 to guide the second cylinder 202 and improve the movement stability of the second cylinder 202.

[0070] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of drivers are arranged around the outside of the third cylinder 207 , and correspondingly, a plurality of connecting seats 206 are arranged around the outer wall of the second cylinder 202 , which can effectively improve the movement stability of the second cylinder 202 .

[0071] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the second cylinder 202 is provided with a plurality of second air inlets 203 arranged in a ring pattern, thereby increasing the air intake volume.

[0072] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the outer diameter of the second cylinder 202 is smaller than the diameter of the first air outlet 101 , so that when the first air outlet 101 is opened, the air after heat exchange in the housing 100 can be discharged through the first air outlet 101 .

[0073] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a first air outlet 101 is disposed on the front upper side of the housing 100 , and first air inlets 102 are disposed on the left and right sides of the lower portion of the housing 100 .

[0074] And, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a fan 103 and a heat exchanger 104 are disposed in the housing 100 . The fan 103 is disposed at the first air inlet 102 , and the heat exchanger 104 is disposed between the fan 103 and the air guide tube assembly 200 .

[0075] Specifically, when the fan 103 rotates, the indoor air is sucked into the casing 100 through the first air inlet 102 and heat-exchanged through the heat exchanger 104. The air after heat exchange can be discharged according to actual needs. The specific process can be referred to the aforementioned air supply mode, which will not be repeated here.

[0076] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the heat exchanger 104 is V-shaped, and the opening end of the heat exchanger 104 faces the air outlet side of the fan 103. Such a design can effectively improve the heat exchange effect.

[0077] The specific type of the fan 103 of the present invention is not particularly limited, and it can be, for example, a centrifugal fan.

[0078] In addition, the air conditioner also includes an outdoor unit, which mainly includes components such as a compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger. The connection method between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit is a conventional technology in the field and will not be described here.

[0079] The air supply control method of the air conditioner according to the above embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0080] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 6 As shown, the present invention provides an air supply control method for an air conditioner, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0081] S100: When the air conditioner is turned on, obtain the indoor temperature.

[0082] Specifically, when the air conditioner is turned on and running, the indoor temperature can be obtained in real time through the temperature sensor.

[0083] S200 , according to the difference between the indoor temperature and the target set temperature, controlling the telescopic movement of the second cylinder 202 to adjust the opening and closing of the first air outlet 101 and the second air inlet 203 .

[0084] Specifically, when it is determined that the difference between the indoor temperature and the target set temperature is greater than or equal to the set value, it means that the temperature difference is large. At this time, the second cylinder 202 is controlled to retract into the casing 100 to open the second air inlet 203 and close the first air outlet 101. The air after heat exchange in the casing 100 enters the first cylinder 201 through the second air inlet 203, and is directly discharged forward through the second air outlet 204 of the second cylinder 202, thereby realizing long-distance air supply and achieving the effect of rapid cooling.

[0085] When it is determined that the difference between the indoor temperature and the target set temperature is less than the set value, it means that the temperature difference is small. At this time, the second cylinder 202 is controlled to extend out of the casing 100 to open the second air inlet 203 and the first air outlet 101 at the same time. The air after heat exchange in the casing 100 is discharged through the first air outlet 101 and the second air outlet 204 at the same time to ensure the uniformity of the indoor temperature.

[0086] Furthermore, when it is determined that the difference between the indoor temperature and the target set temperature is less than the set value, the speed of the fan 103 in the casing 100 can be reduced to the target set speed, and / or the compressor frequency of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can be reduced to the target set frequency, thereby reducing the operating energy consumption of the air conditioner while maintaining the indoor ambient temperature stable.

[0087] Therefore, the air supply control method of the air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the opening and closing of the first air outlet 101 and the second air inlet 203 by controlling the telescopic movement of the second cylinder 202, thereby adjusting the air supply direction and air supply distance, realizing a variety of air supply modes, meeting different heat exchange requirements, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0088] According to one embodiment of the present invention, after determining that the difference between the indoor temperature and the target set temperature is less than the set value, reducing the speed of the fan 103 in the casing 100 to the target set speed, and / or reducing the compressor frequency of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to the target set frequency, it also includes: obtaining the position of the indoor user; and controlling the telescopic movement of the second cylinder 202 according to the position of the indoor user.

[0089] Specifically, after determining that the difference between the indoor temperature and the target set temperature is less than the set value, the speed of the fan 103 in the casing 100 is reduced to the target set speed, and / or the compressor frequency of the air conditioner's outdoor unit is reduced to the target set frequency and runs for a preset time, the indoor temperature is in a state close to the target set temperature and uniform and stable. At this time, the position of the indoor user can be detected by the infrared sensor.

[0090] When it is determined that the distance of the indoor user in front of the indoor unit is less than or equal to the preset distance and is outside the preset air outlet angle range of the indoor unit, it means that the indoor user is close to the indoor unit and is outside the air outlet radiation range of the indoor unit. At this time, the second cylinder 202 is controlled to retract into the housing 100 to open the second air inlet 203 and close the first air outlet 101 to achieve the effect of long-distance air supply without wind feeling. Among them, the preset air outlet angle range can be the maximum air outlet radiation range of the indoor unit.

[0091] When it is determined that the indoor user is located in front of the indoor unit at a distance greater than a preset distance, it means that the indoor user is far away from the indoor unit. At this time, the second cylinder 202 is controlled to extend out of the casing 100 to close the second air inlet 203 and open the first air outlet 101 to achieve the effect of close-range air supply without wind feeling.

[0092] Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can achieve a wind-free effect when the indoor temperature is close to the target setting temperature and is uniform and stable, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of wind blowing people and effectively improving the user experience.

[0093] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air supply control method of the present invention also includes: determining that the distance of the indoor user in front of the indoor unit is less than or equal to a preset distance and is within the preset air outlet angle range of the indoor unit, indicating that the indoor user is close to the indoor unit and is within the air outlet radiation range of the indoor unit, and at this time sending a wind sense request instruction to the user end of the indoor user; controlling the telescopic movement of the second cylinder 202 according to the wind sense feedback instruction sent by the user end.

[0094] Specifically, if a windless instruction is received from the user side, a request instruction to leave the preset air outlet angle range is sent to the user side. When a departure confirmation instruction is received from the user side, it indicates that the user has left the air outlet radiation range of the indoor unit. At this time, the second cylinder 202 is controlled to retract into the casing 100 to open the second air inlet 203 and close the first air outlet 101, thereby achieving the effect of long-distance air supply without wind.

[0095] If a wind sense command is received from the user, the second cylinder 202 can be controlled to extend out of the housing 100 to close the second air inlet 203 and open the first air outlet 101 to achieve a close-range soft air supply effect.

[0096] Therefore, the air supply control method of the air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present invention can realize the interaction between the user and the air conditioner, and adjust the air supply mode according to the user's autonomous needs, thereby meeting the user's wind feeling needs and effectively improving the user's usage experience.

[0097] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air supply control method of the present invention further includes: when the air conditioner is turned off, controlling the second cylinder 202 to retract into the casing 100 .

[0098] The air supply control device of the air conditioner provided by the present invention is described below. The air supply control device of the air conditioner described below and the air supply control method of the air conditioner described above can be referred to each other.

[0099] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the present invention also provides an air supply control device for the air conditioner of the above embodiment, which mainly includes: an acquisition module 710 and a control module 720. The acquisition module 710 is used to acquire the indoor temperature when the air conditioner is turned on and running; the control module 720 is used to control the telescopic movement of the second cylinder 202 according to the difference between the indoor temperature and the target set temperature, so as to adjust the opening and closing of the first air outlet 101 and the second air inlet 203.

[0100] The air supply control device of the air conditioner provided by the present invention can adjust the air supply direction and air supply distance of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, realize multiple air supply modes, meet different heat exchange requirements, and effectively improve the user experience.

[0101] Figure 8 An example of a physical structure diagram of an air conditioner is shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the air conditioner may include: a processor 810, a communication interface 820, a memory 830 and a communication bus 840, wherein the processor 810, the communication interface 820 and the memory 830 communicate with each other through the communication bus 840.
