Furthermore, the embodiments provided below are some embodiments for implementing the present disclosure, and not all embodiments for implementing the present disclosure. Unless otherwise specified, the technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented in any combination.

[0028] For example, the air conditioning cleaning control method provided in this disclosure includes a series of steps, but the air conditioning cleaning control method provided in this disclosure is not limited to the steps described. Similarly, the air conditioning cleaning control device provided in this disclosure includes a series of units, but the device provided in this disclosure is not limited to the units explicitly described, but may also include units that need to be set up for obtaining relevant information or processing based on the information.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure.

[0030] It is understood that in the specific implementation of this application, relevant data is involved. When the embodiments in this application are applied to specific products or technologies, user permission or consent is required, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of the relevant countries and regions.

[0031] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating an embodiment of an air conditioning cleaning control method according to this application is shown. The entity executing this air conditioning cleaning control method can be any air conditioning cleaning control device with processing capabilities. This air conditioning cleaning control device can be installed in an appliance, such as the air conditioner itself, a mobile phone, a computer, a smartwatch, and other home appliances.

[0032] In one specific embodiment of this application, an air conditioning cleaning control device, which is the main body for executing the air conditioning control method, is installed in the air conditioner. Specifically, the air conditioning cleaning control device may be a controller in the air conditioner.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning cleaning control method may include steps S110 to S140.

[0034] Step S110: Control the fresh air duct in the air conditioner to pre-blow air to clean each position on the module to be cleaned, and detect the vibration level at each position on the module to be cleaned.

[0035] Step S120: Based on the degree of vibration at each position on the module to be cleaned, the dirt status at each position on the module to be cleaned is determined.

[0036] Step S130: Based on the dirt status of each position on the module to be cleaned, control the fresh air duct to perform secondary air blowing to clean each position on the module to be cleaned.

[0037] The modules to be cleaned are those in the air conditioner that require cleaning. These modules may include, but are not limited to, the evaporator and the filter. The fresh air duct is a pipe in the air conditioning system used to introduce fresh outdoor air. Typically, the nozzles of the fresh air duct are connected to the air intake of the air conditioning system, bringing fresh outdoor air into the room.

[0038] In this embodiment, a pre-set drive mechanism is included in the air conditioner to drive the nozzles of the fresh air duct. When the air conditioner is started for cleaning, the pre-set drive mechanism drives the nozzles of the fresh air duct to move along a predetermined trajectory to different positions of the module to be cleaned for preliminary air blowing (for example, the nozzles of the fresh air duct are aimed at the evaporator and filter surfaces, and moved evenly from top to bottom and from left to right for preliminary air blowing) to initially remove dirt. At the same time, during the preliminary air blowing process, sensors installed on the module to be cleaned detect the degree of vibration caused by the air blowing at various positions on the module to be cleaned.

[0039] The vibration level varies depending on the degree of dirt on each location. By judging the vibration level at each location on the module to be cleaned, the degree of dirt on each location can be accurately determined (e.g., whether there is dirt and the specific degree of dirt; the higher the degree of dirt, the higher the vibration level, and vice versa). Based on the degree of dirt on each location on the module to be cleaned, the nozzles of the fresh air duct are further controlled by the drive mechanism to swing at an angle and / or move in position, so as to further blow air and clean each location on the module according to the corresponding degree of dirt, thereby performing precise and deep cleaning on the basis of initial dirt removal.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the application, firstly, cleaning is performed by blowing air through the fresh air duct of the air conditioner; furthermore, preliminary air is blown through the fresh air duct to different locations on the module to be cleaned. During the preliminary air blowing process, the degree of vibration caused by the air blowing at each location on the module to be cleaned is detected to accurately determine the dirt status of each location; then, further air blowing is performed on each location on the module to be cleaned according to the corresponding dirt status, thereby achieving precise and deep cleaning on the basis of preliminary dirt removal. This can effectively handle various types of dirt and effectively improve the self-cleaning effect of the air conditioner.

[0041] The following description Figure 1 Further optional specific embodiments are provided for each step performed during air conditioning cleaning control in the example implementation.

[0042] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 Before pre-blowing and cleaning each position on the cleaning module in the fresh air duct of the air conditioner, the method may further include: step S210, detecting whether the air conditioner meets the predetermined air source connection conditions; step S220, if the predetermined air source connection conditions are met, performing an air source connection operation to connect the fresh air duct of the air conditioner to the air source.

[0043] The predetermined air source connection condition is a predetermined condition that allows the fresh air duct to be connected to the air source. Specifically, the predetermined air source connection condition may be that the fresh air duct is not used in the air conditioner, for example, when the air conditioner is in static or non-fresh air mode and the fresh air duct is not used in the air conditioner.

[0044] If the detection determines that the predetermined air source connection conditions are met, an air source connection operation is performed to connect the air conditioner's fresh air duct to the air source. The air source connection operation can be an automatic connection operation (e.g., automatically connecting the fresh air duct to the air source through a preset connection mechanism) or an operation that prompts the user to perform the connection (e.g., playing a prompt message to prompt the user to manually connect the fresh air duct to the air source).

[0045] An air source, such as a compressed air tank or specialized cleaning equipment, can be used. The air conditioner's fresh air duct is connected to the air source, allowing air supplied from the air source to blow through nozzles in the fresh air duct onto the module to be cleaned.

[0046] In a further embodiment, after the predetermined air source connection condition is met, the air source connection operation is performed to connect the fresh air duct of the air conditioner to the air source, the method may further include: determining whether the fresh air duct restoration condition is met; if the fresh air duct restoration condition is met, the fresh air restoration operation is performed to reset the fresh air duct.

[0047] The conditions for restoring fresh air ducts are those under which the fresh air ducts are not required for air blowing and cleaning. These conditions may include "the piezoelectric materials installed at each position on the module to be cleaned do not provide feedback electrical signals" or "no signal reflecting the degree of vibration is detected and the unblocking rate is greater than the first threshold."

[0048] If the conditions for fresh air duct restoration are met, a fresh air restoration operation is performed, resetting the fresh air duct (i.e., restoring it to a state that meets the requirements of fresh air mode, such as disconnecting it from the air source and returning it to a predetermined position). The fresh air restoration operation can be automatic or require the user to perform the restoration. After the fresh air duct is reset, the air conditioner's self-cleaning process ends, and the air conditioner can select either a fresh air module or a non-fresh air mode as needed.

[0049] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The detection of the vibration level at each position on the module to be cleaned includes: step S310, receiving the electrical signal fed back by the piezoelectric material at each position on the module to be cleaned; step S320, obtaining the vibration level at each position on the module to be cleaned based on the electrical signal fed back by the piezoelectric material at each position.

[0050] In this embodiment, piezoelectric materials (i.e., piezoelectric sensors) are installed at various locations on the module to be cleaned (the locations are selected according to the actual situation). During the process of pre-blowing and cleaning the various locations on the module to be cleaned through the nozzles of the fresh air duct, when the fluid sweeps across each location, the piezoelectric sensors will detect the mechanical stress changes (i.e., vibrations) at the corresponding locations and convert these mechanical stress changes into electrical signals.

[0051] Generally, the more dust and dirt accumulate in a location, the stronger the electrical signal returned by the piezoelectric sensor. By analyzing the electrical signals returned by the piezoelectric materials at each location, the degree of vibration (i.e., the degree of mechanical stress change) at each location on the module to be cleaned can be obtained. The stronger the electrical signal, the stronger the vibration, and the higher the degree of dirt accumulation in that location.

[0052] The electrical signals generated by the piezoelectric sensor can be collected by a data acquisition system, which may include an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a microprocessor. The ADC converts the electrical signals from analog to digital and transmits them to the microprocessor. The microprocessor analyzes the received signals to identify the degree of vibration at each location. Specifically, the deformation z of the piezoelectric material at each location caused by the fluid sweeping over it, the area A of the piezoelectric material, and the weight T of the piezoelectric material have a significant impact on the vibration experienced by the piezoelectric material, which in turn affects the potential displacement D. The formula is: Fg = A·T·z = D·A, where Fg is the force of vibration experienced by the piezoelectric material, A is the area of ​​the piezoelectric material, T is the weight of the piezoelectric material, and D represents the potential displacement. Based on this formula, the force (i.e., the degree of vibration) experienced by the piezoelectric material can be accurately analyzed.

[0053] In other embodiments, the degree of vibration at each location can be detected by setting capacitive sensors or vibration sensors.

[0054] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 Before determining the dirt status of each position on the module to be cleaned based on the vibration level, the method may further include: step S410, detecting the unblocking rate of the evaporator in the air conditioner; step S410, determining whether to perform secondary air blowing cleaning based on the unblocking rate and the vibration level to determine the dirt status.

[0055] Sensors installed in the evaporator can detect its unobstructed flow rate, which refers to the degree of unobstructed flow in the internal channels of the evaporator. After detecting the vibration level at various locations on the module to be cleaned, the unobstructed flow rate of the evaporator in the air conditioner is further detected. Based on the unobstructed flow rate, it is determined whether a secondary air blowing cleaning is necessary to assess the level of dirt based on the vibration, thus further avoiding unnecessary secondary air blowing cleaning.

[0056] Specifically, in one embodiment, determining whether to perform secondary air cleaning based on the dirt state according to the unblocking rate may include: if no signal reflecting the vibration level is detected and the unblocking rate is greater than a first threshold, then determining not to perform secondary air cleaning based on the dirt state determined by the vibration level; if a signal reflecting the vibration level is detected and the unblocking rate is less than a second threshold, then determining to perform secondary air cleaning based on the dirt state determined by the vibration level, wherein the second threshold is less than the first threshold.

[0057] After detecting the vibration level at various locations on the module to be cleaned, if no signal reflecting the vibration level (e.g., an electrical signal fed back by a piezoelectric material) is detected and the unblocking rate is greater than a first threshold (e.g., 80%), it indicates that the air conditioner is working normally. In this case, it can be determined that it is not necessary to determine the dirt status based on the vibration level and perform secondary air blowing for cleaning. If a signal reflecting the vibration level is detected and the unblocking rate is less than a second threshold (e.g., 20%), it indicates that the air conditioner is not working normally. In this case, it can be determined that it is necessary to determine the dirt status based on the vibration level and perform secondary air blowing for cleaning.

[0058] Furthermore, in one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 5 The step of controlling the fresh air duct to perform secondary air blowing to clean each position on the module to be cleaned based on the dirt status of each position on the module to be cleaned may include: step S510, determining the dirty position on the module to be cleaned and the degree of dirt corresponding to the dirty position based on the dirt status of each position on the module to be cleaned; step S520, controlling the fresh air duct to blow an airflow intensity matching the degree of dirt at the dirty position to perform secondary air blowing to clean the dirty position on the module to be cleaned.

[0059] Based on the state of dirt at various locations on the module to be cleaned, the location of the dirt (i.e., the location where dirt exists) and the degree of dirt corresponding to the location can be determined. However, by controlling the airflow intensity from the fresh air duct to the location of the dirt to match the degree of dirt, the location of the dirt on the module to be cleaned can be precisely and effectively cleaned by secondary air blowing.

[0060] It is understandable that during the secondary air blowing cleaning process, the vibration level of each dirty location on the module to be cleaned can be continuously detected; and the dirt status of each dirty location can be determined based on the vibration level of each dirty location; and based on the dirt status of each dirty location, the fresh air duct can be controlled to perform a third air blowing cleaning on each dirty location.

[0061] Furthermore, this application also provides an air conditioning cleaning control device, which can be applied to equipment. For example...

[0063] For example, processor 601 can perform the following steps:

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, before the fresh air duct in the air conditioner is pre-blown to clean each position on the module to be cleaned, the method further includes: detecting whether the air conditioner meets the predetermined air source connection conditions; if the predetermined air source connection conditions are met, then performing an air source connection operation to connect the fresh air duct of the air conditioner to the air source.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, determining whether to perform secondary air cleaning based on the dirt state according to the unblocking rate includes: if no signal reflecting the vibration level is detected and the unblocking rate is greater than a first threshold, then determining not to perform secondary air cleaning based on the dirt state determined by the vibration level; if a signal reflecting the vibration level is detected and the unblocking rate is less than a second threshold, then determining to perform secondary air cleaning based on the dirt state determined by the vibration level, wherein the second threshold is less than the first threshold.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, the step of controlling the fresh air duct to perform secondary air blowing cleaning on each location of the module to be cleaned based on the dirt status of each location on the module to be cleaned includes: determining the location of the dirt on the module to be cleaned and the degree of dirt corresponding to the location of the dirt based on the dirt status of each location on the module to be cleaned; and controlling the fresh air duct to blow an airflow intensity matching the degree of dirt at the location of the dirt to perform secondary air blowing cleaning on the location of the dirt on the module to be cleaned.

[0070] In some embodiments of this application, detecting the vibration level at each location on the module to be cleaned includes: receiving electrical signals fed back by piezoelectric materials disposed at each location on the module to be cleaned; and obtaining the vibration level at each location on the module to be cleaned based on the electrical signals fed back by the piezoelectric materials disposed at each location.
