[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0054] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 7 The air conditioner control method, device and air conditioner with upper and lower partitioned air outlet provided by the embodiment of the present invention are described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0055] In practical applications, the air conditioner shown in this embodiment includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit and the outdoor unit are connected through a refrigerant pipeline, and the indoor unit can be configured as an air conditioner cabinet.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning cabinet has a casing 1, the casing 1 is provided with a receiving cavity and a first air outlet 11 and a second air outlet 12 connected with the receiving cavity, and the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 are arranged opposite to each other up and down.

[0057] The first air supply component 2 and the second air supply component 3 are arranged in the accommodating cavity, the first air supply component 2 and the first air outlet 11 are arranged opposite to each other, the second air supply component 3 and the second air outlet 12 are arranged opposite to each other, and air ducts arranged opposite to the first air supply component 2 and the second air supply component 3 are arranged in the accommodating cavity.

[0058] The first air supply assembly 2 includes a first fan, a first evaporator and a first vertical swing blade arranged along the air outlet direction. The second air supply assembly 3 includes a second fan, a second evaporator and a second vertical swing blade arranged along the air outlet direction.

[0059] The first air supply component 2 may also be configured to include a first horizontal swing blade, which is disposed between the first evaporator and the first vertical swing blade. The second air supply component 3 may also be configured to include a second horizontal swing blade, which is disposed between the second evaporator and the second vertical swing blade. Since the first vertical swing blade is exposed at the first air outlet 11 and the second vertical swing blade is exposed at the second air outlet 12, the present embodiment performs color display control on the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade respectively, so as to intuitively display the current operating status of the air conditioner to the user based on the colors displayed by the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade.

[0060] At least two color-changing parts can be configured on the first vertical swing leaf and the second vertical swing leaf, and the at least two color-changing parts can be arranged side by side along the extension direction of the first vertical swing leaf or the second vertical swing leaf. In this embodiment, the controller of the air conditioner can be connected with at least two color-changing parts, so that the first vertical swing leaf and the second vertical swing leaf can display at least two colors according to control requirements.

[0061] Optionally, the color-changing element may be an electrochromic element, for example, the electrochromic element is an electrochromic glass. Optionally, the color-changing element may also be an LED light strip.

[0062] At the same time, in addition to the above-mentioned first air supply assembly 2 and second air supply assembly 3, the air conditioner is also provided with a compressor, a four-way valve, an expansion valve and a condenser. The first evaporator in the first air supply assembly 2 can be matched with the compressor, the four-way valve, the expansion valve and the condenser to form a set of air conditioning and refrigeration systems known in the art. The second evaporator in the second air supply assembly 3 can also be matched with the compressor, the four-way valve, the expansion valve and the condenser to form another set of air conditioning and refrigeration systems known in the art.

[0063] Wherein, a first control valve is respectively provided at both ends of the first evaporator, and the first evaporator can be controlled to start or stop operation by controlling the opening and closing state of the first control valve. Correspondingly, a second control valve is respectively provided at both ends of the second evaporator, and the second evaporator can be controlled to start or stop operation by controlling the opening and closing state of the second control valve.

[0064] Based on the above air conditioner, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling an air conditioner with upper and lower partitioned air outlets. The execution subject of the method can be a server or a controller built into the air conditioner. Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0065] Step 210, obtaining the indoor temperature and determining the operation mode of the air conditioner.

[0066] It is understandable that in this embodiment, a temperature sensor can be set in the room where the air conditioner is located, and the indoor temperature can be collected by the temperature sensor. Among them, multiple temperature sensors can be configured, and the indoor temperature can be the average value of the temperature values ​​collected by multiple temperature sensors.

[0067] At the same time, since the indoor unit of the air conditioner is usually equipped with a remote controller connected to the indoor unit for communication, the operation mode of the air conditioner can be determined according to the control command input by the remote controller.

[0068] Step 220, calculating the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the target temperature.

[0069] It is understandable that when determining that the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, it is usually assumed that the user is in summer and the indoor temperature is relatively high. The indoor temperature needs to be lowered to the target temperature. At this time, the indoor temperature is greater than the target temperature, and the temperature difference is the difference between the indoor temperature and the target temperature.

[0070] When determining that the air conditioner is operating in heating mode, it is usually assumed that the user is in winter and the indoor temperature is relatively low. The indoor temperature needs to be raised to the target temperature. At this time, the indoor temperature is lower than the target temperature, and the temperature difference is the absolute value of the difference between the indoor temperature and the target temperature.

[0071] Step 230, determining a control strategy for the first air supply component and / or the second air supply component according to the threshold range of the temperature difference value and the type of operation mode, and determining a target color displayed by the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade.

[0072] It can be understood that this embodiment determines the control strategy for the first air supply component and / or the second air supply component based on the threshold range of the temperature difference value and the type of the current operating mode of the air conditioner; and determines the target color displayed by the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade based on the type of the current operating mode of the air conditioner.

[0073] For example, when the temperature difference is large and the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, an air outlet control strategy can be selectively set for the first air supply component and / or the second air supply component, and according to the cooling mode of the air conditioner, the corresponding display color can be matched for the first vertical swing blade and / or the second vertical swing blade that performs air outlet control.

[0074] When the temperature difference is small and the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, another air outlet control strategy can be selectively set for the first air supply component and / or the second air supply component, and according to the cooling mode of the air conditioner, the corresponding display color can be matched for the first vertical swing blade and / or the second vertical swing blade that performs air outlet control.

[0075] Of course, when the temperature difference is large and the air conditioner operates in heating mode, or when the temperature difference is small and the air conditioner operates in heating mode, the corresponding air outlet control strategy can also be set for the first air supply component and / or the second air supply component, and the first vertical swing blade and / or the second vertical swing blade that performs air outlet control can be matched with the corresponding display color in the heating mode.

[0076] Step 240, controlling the first air supply component and the second air supply component according to the control strategy, and performing color display control on the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade according to the target color.

[0077] It can be understood that since the first air supply component includes a first fan, a first evaporator and a first vertical swing blade arranged along the air outlet direction, the control operation of the first air supply component includes controlling the first fan to operate at a set speed, controlling the first evaporator to operate in a cooling or heating state, and controlling the air guide angle of the first vertical swing blade.

[0078] Correspondingly, since the second air supply assembly includes a second fan, a second evaporator and a second vertical swing blade arranged along the air outlet direction, the control operations performed on the second air supply assembly include controlling the second fan to operate at a set speed, controlling the second evaporator to operate in a cooling or heating state, and controlling the air guide angle of the second vertical swing blade.

[0079] When controlling the color display of the first vertical swing leaf and the second vertical swing leaf, it is possible to selectively supply power to the color-changing element on the first vertical swing leaf or the second vertical swing leaf or adjust the power supply voltage to the color-changing element to control the color-changing element to display the desired color.

[0080] The air conditioner control method with upper and lower partitioned air outlet shown in the present invention collects the indoor temperature and determines the operating mode of the air conditioner. It can selectively control the first air supply component and / or the second air supply component according to the threshold range of the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the target temperature and in combination with the current operating state of the air conditioner, thereby realizing various forms of upper and lower partitioned air outlets of the air conditioner, and can adaptively perform color display control on the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade according to the current operating state of the air conditioner.

[0081] It can be seen from the above that the present invention can not only perform diversified upper and lower partition air supply indoors, but also intuitively display the air supply status of the air conditioner, making it convenient for users to adjust the operating status of the air conditioner in time according to actual needs, thereby meeting the diverse usage needs of users.

[0082] In some embodiments, according to the threshold range of the temperature difference value and the type of operation mode, the step of determining the control strategy for the first air supply component and / or the second air supply component, and determining the target color displayed by the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade includes:

[0083] When the temperature difference is greater than the first preset temperature and the operating mode is the cooling mode, the control strategy is to control the first air supply component and the second air supply component to start running, and the target colors displayed by the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade are both the first color.

[0084] It is understandable that when the temperature difference is greater than the first preset temperature and the operating mode of the air conditioner is determined to be the cooling mode, in order to achieve rapid cooling of the indoor environment, the first air supply component and the second air supply component can be controlled to start and run at the same time. At this time, the first evaporator and the second evaporator are both in a cooling state, and the first fan and the second fan are both operating at the highest gear. The first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade can respectively set the air guide angle according to the location of the target air supply area.

[0085] At the same time, in this embodiment, the first color can be set to blue so that the user can identify the cooling mode the air conditioner is currently in.

[0086] When the temperature difference is greater than the first preset temperature and the operating mode is the heating mode, the control strategy is to control the first air supply component and the second air supply component to start running, and the target colors displayed by the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade are both the second color.

[0087] It is understandable that when the temperature difference is greater than the first preset temperature and the operating mode of the air conditioner is determined to be the heating mode, in order to achieve rapid heating of the indoor environment, the first air supply component and the second air supply component can be controlled to start and run at the same time. At this time, the first evaporator and the second evaporator are both in the heating state, the first fan and the second fan are both operating at the highest gear, and the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade can respectively set the air guide angle according to the location of the target air supply area.

[0088] At the same time, in this embodiment, the first color can be set to red so that the user can identify the current heating mode of the air conditioner.

[0089] It should be noted that in order to increase the sensitivity of the air conditioner to the indoor temperature response and ensure the temperature adjustment effect on the indoor environment, the first preset temperature can be set to 3-5° C. For example, the first preset temperature can be 3° C., 4° C., 5° C., etc., without specific limitation.

[0090] In some embodiments, according to the threshold range of the temperature difference value and the type of operation mode, the step of determining the control strategy for the first air supply component and / or the second air supply component, and determining the target color displayed by the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade includes:

[0091] When the temperature difference is less than the second preset temperature and the operating mode is the cooling mode, the control strategy is to control the first air supply component to start running and control the second air supply component to stop running, and the target color displayed by the first vertical swing blade is the first color.

[0092] It is understandable that when the temperature difference is less than the second preset temperature and the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the first air supply component can be controlled to start running separately. At this time, the first evaporator is in cooling state, the first fan can be operated at the lowest gear, and the first vertical swing blade can set the wind guide angle according to the location of the target air supply area. This control strategy can not only ensure that the user obtains a shower-like cooling effect, but also reduce the power consumption of the air conditioner and achieve energy saving.

[0093] At the same time, in this embodiment, the first color displayed by the first vertical swing blade can be set to blue, so that the user can identify the current cooling mode of the air conditioner.

[0094] When the temperature difference is less than the second preset temperature and the operating mode is the heating mode, the control strategy is to control the first air supply component to stop running and control the second air supply component to start running, and the target color displayed by the second vertical swing blade is the second color.

[0095] It is understandable that when the temperature difference is less than the second preset temperature and the air conditioner is in heating mode, the second air supply component can be independently controlled to start running. At this time, the second evaporator is in heating state, the second fan can be operated at the lowest gear, and the second vertical swing blade can set the wind guide angle according to the location of the target air supply area. This control strategy can not only ensure that users can obtain the floor heating heating effect, but also reduce the power consumption of the air conditioner and achieve energy saving.

[0096] At the same time, in this embodiment, the second color displayed by the second vertical swing blade can be set to red, so that the user can identify the current heating mode of the air conditioner.

[0097] It should be noted here that the second preset temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature, and the second preset temperature can be set to 1-3° C. For example, the second preset temperature can be 1° C., 2° C., 3° ​​C., etc., and is not specifically limited thereto.

[0098] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner further includes a first human-machine interaction module 4 and a second human-machine interaction module 5. The first human-machine interaction module 4 and the first air supply component are arranged opposite to each other, and the second human-machine interaction module 5 and the second air supply component are arranged opposite to each other.

[0099] The first human-machine interaction module 4 and the second human-machine interaction module 5 may be touch screen controllers known in the art, and the first human-machine interaction module 4 and the second human-machine interaction module 5 are respectively connected to a built-in controller of the air conditioner.

[0100] like Figure 1As shown, the first human-computer interaction module 4 is arranged on the upper side of the first air outlet, and the second human-computer interaction module 5 is arranged on the upper side of the second air outlet and is located in the area between the first air outlet and the second air outlet.

[0101] Based on the above air conditioner, Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner control method for upper and lower partitioned air outlet shown in this embodiment also includes the following steps:

[0102] Step 310: Receive a first input to a first human-computer interaction module.

[0103] Step 320, in response to the first input, determine the control strategy for the first air supply component according to the threshold range of the temperature difference value and the type of operation mode, and determine the target color displayed by the first vertical swing blade.

[0104] Step 330, controlling the first air supply component according to the control strategy, and performing color display control on the first vertical swing blade according to the target color.

[0105] It is understandable that the first input may be expressed in at least one of the following ways:

[0106] First, the first input may be a physical key input.

[0107] In this embodiment, the first human-computer interaction module is provided with a physical button for controlling the start-up operation of the first air supply component and setting the relevant operating parameters of the first fan, the first evaporator and the first vertical swing blade corresponding to the first air supply component. Receiving the user's first input can be expressed as receiving the first input of the user pressing or sliding the corresponding physical button.

[0108] Secondly, the first input may be a touch input, including but not limited to a click input, a slide input, and a press input.

[0109] In this embodiment, a touch screen is provided on the first human-computer interaction module, and the touch screen is connected to the controller of the air conditioner. Receiving the first input of the user can be manifested as receiving the touch operation of the user in the touch area of ​​the touch screen.

[0110] Third, the first input may be voice input.

[0111] In this embodiment, the first human-machine interaction module may also be equipped with a microphone, which is connected to the controller of the air conditioner. When the microphone receives a voice command such as "start the control operation of the first air supply component", the controller of the air conditioner may respond to the voice command to control the first air supply component.

[0112] Of course, in other embodiments, the first input may also be in other forms, including but not limited to character input, etc., which can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0113] In this way, when the user executes the first input to the first human-computer interaction module, the first human-computer interaction module sends the command information corresponding to the first input to the controller of the air conditioner. The controller will determine the control strategy for the first air supply component according to the threshold range of the temperature difference value and the type of operating mode, control the first air supply component alone, and control the first vertical swing blade to display the color corresponding to the current operating mode of the air conditioner.

[0114] Among them, according to the first input to the first human-computer interaction module, when the first air supply component is controlled, the control strategy set for the first air supply component includes controlling the first evaporator to be in a heating state or a cooling state, controlling the first fan to operate at a speed matching the threshold range of the temperature difference value, and controlling the first vertical swing blade to guide air according to the position of the target air supply area.

[0115] Based on the above air conditioner, Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner control method for upper and lower partitioned air outlet shown in this embodiment also includes the following steps:

[0116] Step 410: receiving a second input to a second human-computer interaction module.

[0117] Step 420, in response to the second input, determine the control strategy for the second air supply assembly according to the threshold range of the temperature difference value and the type of operation mode, and determine the target color displayed by the second vertical swing blade.

[0118] Step 430, controlling the second air supply assembly according to the control strategy, and performing color display control on the second vertical swing blade according to the target color.

[0119] It is understandable that when the second input is performed on the second human-computer interaction module, it can be performed in a manner similar to the above-mentioned manner of performing the first input on the first human-computer interaction module, and will not be described in detail here.

[0120] Similarly, when the user executes the second input on the second human-computer interaction module, the second human-computer interaction module sends the command information corresponding to the second input to the controller of the air conditioner. The controller will determine the control strategy for the second air supply component according to the threshold range of the temperature difference value and the type of operating mode, control the second air supply component separately, and control the second vertical swing blade to display the color corresponding to the current operating mode of the air conditioner.

[0121] Among them, according to the second input to the second human-computer interaction module, when the second air supply component is controlled, the control strategy set for the second air supply component includes controlling the second evaporator to be in a heating state or a cooling state, controlling the second fan to operate at a speed matching the threshold range of the temperature difference value, and controlling the second vertical swing blade to guide the air according to the position of the target air supply area.

[0122] Based on the above air conditioner, Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner control method for upper and lower partitioned air outlet shown in this embodiment also includes the following steps:

[0123] Step 510, receiving a third input to the first human-computer interaction module and a fourth input to the second human-computer interaction module within a preset time;

[0124] Step 520, in response to the third input and the fourth input, control the first air supply assembly and the second air supply assembly to start operation, ensure that the first evaporator operates in a cooling state, the second evaporator operates in a heating state, and the first vertical swing blade displays a first color, and the second vertical swing blade displays a second color.

[0125] It is understandable that the preset time shown in this embodiment may be 3-5s.

[0126] In actual operation, the user can first execute the third input to the first human-computer interaction module within a preset time, and then execute the fourth input to the second human-computer interaction module, or first execute the fourth input to the second human-computer interaction module within a preset time, and then execute the third input to the first human-computer interaction module. Both input methods can trigger the air conditioner to operate in dehumidification mode.

[0127] The specific input methods of the third input and the fourth input may refer to the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0128] In the dehumidification mode, both the first air supply component and the second air supply component are started and operated, but the first evaporator corresponding to the first air supply component operates in a cooling state to dehumidify the air in the indoor environment, while the second evaporator corresponding to the second air supply component operates in a heating state, so that the second air supply component supplies warm air to the indoor environment, to prevent the air in the room from being dry and cold when the air conditioner is performing a dehumidification operation, thereby affecting the user experience.

[0129] When the air conditioner operates in a dehumidification mode, the first color displayed by the first vertical swing blade may be blue, and the second color displayed by the second vertical swing blade may be red.

[0130] like Figure 6As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an air conditioner control device with upper and lower partitioned air outlet, the air conditioner includes a first air supply component and a second air supply component, the first air supply component and the second air supply component are arranged up and down, the first air supply component includes a first fan, a first evaporator and a first vertical swing blade arranged along the air outlet direction; the second air supply component includes a second fan, a second evaporator and a second vertical swing blade arranged along the air outlet direction, the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade can respectively display colors; the above device includes the following modules:

[0131] The acquisition module 610 is used to acquire the indoor temperature and determine the operation mode of the air conditioner.

[0132] The calculation module 620 is used to calculate the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the target temperature.

[0133] Determination module 630 is used to determine the control strategy for the first air supply component and / or the second air supply component according to the threshold range of the temperature difference value and the type of operating mode, and determine the target color displayed by the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade.

[0134] The control module 640 is used to control the first air supply component and the second air supply component according to the control strategy, and to perform color display control on the first vertical swing blade and the second vertical swing blade according to the target color.

[0135] Specifically, the air conditioner control device with upper and lower partitioned air outlets shown in the embodiment of the present invention collects the indoor temperature and determines the operating mode of the air conditioner.
