Therefore, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in the present application.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a fresh air control method for controlling a fresh air air conditioner. The fresh air control method includes S10 to S40, which can better achieve the fresh air control effect and improve the indoor air quality more quickly.

[0031] The fresh air air conditioner includes a fresh air module, and the fresh air module includes a fresh air fan. When the fresh air fan is running, a pressure difference can be formed between the indoor and outdoor environments, thereby sucking the outdoor fresh air into the indoor environment. The type of the fresh air air conditioner can be determined according to actual needs, and can be, for example, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a cabinet air conditioner, a window air conditioner, and other air conditioner types with a fresh air function, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0032] S10: Determine whether the fresh air start-up condition is met. Here, the fresh air start-up condition can be determined according to actual needs, for example, indoor and outdoor temperature difference conditions, indoor and outdoor air quality conditions, etc., which are not limited in the present embodiment.

[0033] S20: In response to determining that the fresh air start-up condition is met, controlling the fresh air fan to start. When it is determined that the fresh air start-up condition is met, the fresh air fan can be controlled to start to draw outdoor fresh air into the room, thereby improving the indoor air quality.

[0034] S30: Predict the time when the indoor air quality reaches the standard based on the volume flow rate of the fresh air fan, the volume of the indoor space, the outdoor air quality and the indoor air quality.

[0035] Here, the volume flow rate of the fresh air fan refers to the volume of fresh air sucked in per unit time when the fresh air fan is running. The indoor space volume refers to the volume of the current indoor space, which can be manually input by the user or measured and determined by a distance measuring sensor arranged on the indoor side of the fresh air air conditioner. The outdoor air quality can be measured and determined in real time by a sensor arranged on the outdoor side of the fresh air air conditioner, or it can be obtained by the fresh air air conditioner from the air quality information released by the air quality measurement unit through the communication network. The indoor air quality can be measured and determined in real time by a sensor arranged on the indoor side of the fresh air air conditioner.

[0036] According to the volume flow rate of the fresh air fan, the volume of the indoor space, the outdoor air quality and the indoor air quality, based on the air quality compliance prediction model pre-set in the fresh air air conditioner, the time required for the indoor air quality to reach the preset air standard can be predicted. The type of the air quality compliance prediction model can be determined according to actual needs, and can adopt types such as artificial neural network prediction models, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0037] S40: Adjust the operating parameters of the fresh air fan according to the time it takes for the indoor air quality to reach the standard.

[0038] After predicting the time when the indoor air quality reaches the standard, the operating parameters of the fresh air fan can be adjusted according to the time when the indoor air quality reaches the standard, so as to shorten the time when the indoor air quality reaches the standard and make the indoor air quality quickly reach the preset air standard in a shorter time, thereby quickly improving the air quality of the indoor environment.

[0039] Compared with the related art, the fresh air control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can control the start-up of the fresh air fan when the fresh air start-up conditions are met, and predict the time for the indoor air quality to reach the standard based on the volume flow rate of the fresh air fan, the volume of the indoor space, the outdoor air quality and the indoor air quality, and then adjust the operating parameters of the fresh air fan according to the time for the indoor air quality to reach the standard, so that the indoor air quality can quickly reach the preset air standard in a shorter time, thereby quickly improving the air quality of the indoor environment.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, S40 may include S41-S44.

[0041] S41: Determine the time interval in which the indoor air quality meets the standard.

[0042] Here, a plurality of time intervals for reaching the standard that are distributed in sequence and continuously can be pre-set in the control system of the fresh air air conditioner, and a different preset acceleration is set for each time interval for reaching the standard. The specific value of the preset acceleration can be determined according to actual needs, and can be set to zero or a non-zero value; when the preset acceleration is zero, the preset acceleration can be used to control the speed of the fresh air fan to remain unchanged; when the preset acceleration is a non-zero value, the preset acceleration can be used to control the speed of the fresh air fan to gradually increase, so as to gradually shorten the time for indoor air quality to reach the standard. Exemplarily, the longer the time for indoor air quality to reach the standard is, the greater the corresponding preset acceleration is; conversely, the shorter the time for indoor air quality to reach the standard is, the smaller the corresponding preset acceleration is.

[0043] In some examples, three consecutively distributed target time intervals can be pre-set in the control system of the fresh air air conditioner, namely, a first target time interval greater than the first target time threshold, a second target time interval less than or equal to the first target time threshold and greater than the second target time threshold, and a third target time interval less than or equal to the second target time threshold. The first target time interval can correspond to the first preset acceleration, the second target time interval can correspond to the second preset acceleration, and the third target time interval can correspond to the third preset acceleration, and the first preset acceleration, the second preset acceleration, and the third preset acceleration decrease in sequence. Exemplarily, the third preset acceleration can be zero; and again exemplary, the third preset acceleration can be a non-zero value. The specific values ​​of the first target time threshold and the second target time threshold can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this; Exemplarily, the first target time threshold can be 20 to 22 minutes, and the second target time threshold can be 10 to 12 minutes.

[0044] S42: In response to determining that the indoor air quality standard-reaching time is within a first standard-reaching time interval, controlling the rotation speed of the fresh air fan to accelerate by a first preset acceleration amount at every preset time interval.

[0045] The preset time interval can be pre-set in the control system of the fresh air air conditioner, and is used as the time interval between two acceleration actions of the fresh air fan. The specific value of the preset time interval can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this; for example, the preset time interval can be set to 8 to 12 minutes, and different values ​​such as 8 minutes, 9 minutes, 10 minutes, 11 minutes or 12 minutes can be used.

[0046] When it is determined that the indoor air quality reaching standard time is within the first reaching standard time interval, it can be determined that if the fresh air fan is operated at the current speed, it will take a long time to improve the indoor air quality to above the preset air standard. At this time, the speed of the fresh air fan can be controlled to quickly accelerate at a first preset acceleration amount with a larger value at every preset time interval; in other words, the speed of the fresh air fan can be first controlled to increase the first preset acceleration amount, and the fresh air fan can be controlled to run at the accelerated speed for a preset time interval, and then the speed of the fresh air fan can be controlled to increase the first preset acceleration amount again after the preset time interval is reached, so as to gradually shorten the indoor air quality reaching standard time, so that the indoor air quality can quickly reach the preset air standard in a shorter time.

[0047] S43: In response to determining that the indoor air quality reaching standard time is within the second reaching standard time interval, controlling the speed of the fresh air fan to accelerate by a second preset acceleration amount at every preset time interval, wherein the first preset acceleration amount is greater than the second preset acceleration amount, and the second preset acceleration amount is greater than zero.

[0048] When it is determined that the indoor air quality reaching standard time is within the second reaching standard time interval, it can be determined that if the fresh air fan is operated at the current speed, it will take a long time to improve the indoor air quality to above the preset air standard. At this time, the speed of the fresh air fan can be controlled to moderately accelerate at a second preset acceleration amount with a relatively moderate value at every preset time interval; in other words, the speed of the fresh air fan can be first controlled to increase the second preset acceleration amount, and the fresh air fan can be controlled to run at the accelerated speed for a preset time interval, and then the speed of the fresh air fan can be controlled to increase the second preset acceleration amount again after the preset time interval is reached, so as to gradually shorten the indoor air quality reaching standard time, so that the indoor air quality can quickly reach the preset air standard in a shorter time.

[0049] S44: In response to determining that the indoor air quality standard-reaching time is within the third standard-reaching time interval, controlling the rotation speed of the fresh air fan to accelerate by a third preset acceleration amount at every preset time interval.

[0050] Among them, the second preset acceleration is greater than the third preset acceleration, and the third preset acceleration is greater than or equal to zero. When the third preset acceleration is zero, the speed of the fresh air fan can be controlled to remain unchanged; when the third preset acceleration is greater than zero, the speed of the fresh air fan can be controlled to gradually increase at preset time intervals. The specific values ​​of the first preset acceleration, the second preset acceleration and the third preset acceleration can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this. Exemplarily, the first preset acceleration can be set to 18~22rpm, and different values ​​such as 18rpm, 19rpm, 20rpm, 21rpm or 22rpm can be used; Exemplarily, the second preset acceleration can be set to 8~12rpm, and different values ​​such as 8rpm, 9rpm, 10rpm, 11rpm or 12rpm can be used. Exemplarily, the third preset acceleration can be set to 0~2rpm, and different values ​​such as 0, 1rpm or 2rpm can be used.

[0051] When it is determined that the indoor air quality reaching standard time is within the third reaching standard time interval, it can be determined that if the fresh air fan is operated at the current speed, it will take a shorter time or a slightly longer time to improve the indoor air quality to above the preset air standard. At this time, the speed of the fresh air fan can be controlled to accelerate at a third preset acceleration amount with a smaller value or even zero at every preset time interval. In other words, if it only takes a shorter time to improve the indoor air quality to above the preset air standard, the third preset acceleration amount can be set to a value greater than zero, and at this time, the speed of the fresh air fan can be first controlled to increase the third preset acceleration amount, and the fresh air fan can be controlled to run at the accelerated speed for a preset time interval, and then the speed of the fresh air fan can be controlled to increase the third preset acceleration amount again after the preset time interval is reached; if it takes a slightly longer time to improve the indoor air quality to above the preset air standard, the third preset acceleration amount can be set to zero, and at this time, the speed of the fresh air fan can be controlled to remain unchanged.

[0052] By setting S41~S44, the fresh air control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can use different preset acceleration amounts to control the speed of the fresh air fan to gradually accelerate to different degrees according to the time interval in which the indoor air quality reaches the standard, so that the indoor air quality can quickly reach the preset air standard in a shorter time, thereby quickly improving the air quality of the indoor environment.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, S10 may include S11-S14.

[0054] S11: In response to the fresh air air conditioner being in the cooling mode, determining whether the indoor air temperature is greater than the outdoor air temperature.

[0055] Here, the indoor air temperature can be measured in real time by a temperature sensor disposed on the indoor side of the fresh air air conditioner, and the outdoor air temperature can be measured in real time by a temperature sensor disposed on the outdoor side of the fresh air air conditioner. When the fresh air air conditioner is in cooling mode, the obtained indoor air temperature and outdoor air temperature can be compared to determine whether the indoor air temperature will fluctuate when the outdoor fresh air is inhaled.

[0056] S12: In response to determining that the indoor air temperature is greater than the outdoor air temperature, determining that a fresh air start-up condition is met.

[0057] When it is determined that the indoor air temperature is greater than the outdoor air temperature, it can be determined that the inhalation of outdoor fresh air will not cause fluctuations in the indoor air temperature; at this time, the lower temperature outdoor fresh air can be used to lower the indoor air temperature and reduce the cooling capacity required for the cooling operation of the fresh air air conditioner, so it can be determined that the fresh air start-up conditions are met.

[0058] S13: In response to determining that the indoor air temperature is less than or equal to the outdoor air temperature, determining whether the outdoor air quality is better than the indoor air quality.

[0059] When it is determined that the indoor air temperature is less than or equal to the outdoor air temperature, it can be determined that the inhalation of outdoor fresh air will cause fluctuations in the indoor air temperature, exacerbating the heat level of the indoor environment. At this point, it can be further determined whether the outdoor air quality is better than the indoor air quality to determine whether the outdoor air can be used to improve the indoor air quality.

[0060] S14: In response to determining that the outdoor air quality is better than the indoor air quality, determining that a fresh air start-up condition is met.

[0061] When it is determined that the outdoor air quality is better than the indoor air quality, the outdoor air can be used to improve the quality of the indoor air, so it can be determined that the fresh air startup conditions are also met.

[0062] By setting S11 to S14, it is possible to accurately determine whether the fresh air start-up conditions are met, so that the fresh air fan can be started in time to meet the demand for inhaling fresh air as soon as possible.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, after S20, the fresh air control method may include S51 to S53.

[0064] S51: Determine whether the indoor environment brightness is greater than or equal to a preset brightness.

[0065] Here, the indoor environment brightness can be measured in real time by a brightness sensor installed on the indoor side of the fresh air air conditioner; the preset brightness can be pre-set in the control system of the fresh air air conditioner to determine the activity status of indoor users.

[0066] S52: In response to determining that the indoor environment brightness is greater than or equal to the preset brightness, setting the upper speed limit of the fresh air fan to a first upper speed limit.

[0067] S53: In response to determining that the indoor environment brightness is less than the preset brightness, the speed upper limit of the fresh air fan is set to a second speed upper limit. The first speed upper limit is greater than the second speed upper limit; illustratively, the first speed upper limit may be an integer multiple of the second speed upper limit, such as 2 times, 3 times, or other multiples.

[0068] When it is determined that the indoor environment brightness is greater than or equal to the preset brightness, it can be determined that the indoor user is currently in an active state when awake; at this time, the speed upper limit of the fresh air fan can be set to a first speed upper limit with a larger value, so that the fresh air fan can run at a larger speed to meet the indoor user's fresh air usage needs as soon as possible. When it is determined that the indoor environment brightness is less than the preset brightness, it can be determined that the indoor user is currently in a resting state such as sleeping; at this time, the speed upper limit of the fresh air fan can be set to a second speed upper limit with a smaller value, so as to limit the speed of the fresh air fan to a smaller speed, avoid generating a large operating noise, and thus avoid disturbing the indoor user's rest.

[0069] By setting S51~S53, the activity status of indoor users can be judged according to the indoor environment brightness, and then the upper limit of the speed of the fresh air fan can be adjusted according to the activity status of the indoor users, so that the fresh air fan can be controlled to run at a higher speed when the user is awake, and the fresh air fan can be controlled to run at a lower speed when the user is resting, so as to better meet the usage needs of users in different activity states.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, after S20, the fresh air control method may include S61-S62.

[0071] S61: Determine whether there is no one in the room and whether the duration of no one in the room is less than a preset time.

[0072] Here, a human sensor disposed on the indoor side of the fresh air air conditioner can be used to determine whether there is no one in the room and whether the duration of no one in the room is less than a preset time. The type of human sensor can be determined according to actual needs, and can be, for example, a ranging sensor, a pyroelectric sensor, a camera, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The preset time can be pre-set in the control system of the fresh air air conditioner, and the specific value of the preset time can be determined according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application; illustratively, the preset time can be set to 3 to 5 minutes, such as 3 minutes, 4 minutes or 5 minutes.

[0073] S62: In response to determining that no one is in the room and the duration of no one in the room is less than a preset time, the fresh air fan is controlled to reduce the speed to the minimum.

[0074] When it is determined that there is no one in the room and the duration of no one in the room is less than the preset time, it can be determined that no one has been in the room for a long time. At this time, the speed of the fresh air fan can be controlled to be reduced to the lower limit of the speed to maintain the fresh air function and reduce the operating energy consumption of the fresh air function, thereby achieving better energy-saving effects.

[0075] In some embodiments, the fresh air module may include a humidification mechanism and a dehumidification mechanism, wherein the humidification mechanism is used to humidify the fresh air sucked in from the outside, and the dehumidification mechanism is used to dehumidify the fresh air sucked in from the outside. Figure 6 As shown, after S20, the fresh air control method may include S71 to S73.

[0076] S71: In response to determining that the indoor air humidity is less than a first preset humidity, controlling a humidification mechanism to start.

[0077] S72: In response to determining that the indoor air humidity is greater than a second preset humidity, controlling the dehumidification mechanism to start.

[0078] S73: In response to determining that the indoor air humidity is greater than or equal to the first preset humidity and less than or equal to the second preset humidity, controlling the humidification mechanism and the dehumidification mechanism to stop.

[0079] The first preset humidity is less than the second preset humidity. The specific values ​​of the first preset humidity and the second preset humidity can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this; for example, the first preset humidity can be set to 35% to 45%, and the second preset humidity can be set to 55% to 65%.

[0080] In some examples, after S20, the fresh air control method may include S63.
