Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to air conditioners and their control methods. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of air conditioning technology, people have increasingly higher requirements for the comfort of air conditioners, especially for features that can help improve user comfort, such as the air swing mode. Current air swing modes mainly use the oscillation of air deflectors to guide airflow, but this method does not take into account the overall comfort of the air conditioner. For example, in cooling mode, because cold air is denser than hot air, the cold air blown directly downwards onto people; in heating mode, because hot air is less dense than cold air, the hot air does not reach the ground, both reducing user comfort. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0068] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0069] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.
[0070] This invention provides a control method for an air conditioner, applicable to an air conditioner. Wherein, as... Figures 1a to 2D2As shown, the air conditioner includes an air outlet frame 100, an air guide plate 200, and a zero-air plate 300. The air outlet frame 100 has an air outlet channel 110 and an air outlet. The air guide plate 200 has a first cantilever 210, and the zero-air plate 300 has a second cantilever 310. Both the first cantilever 210 and the second cantilever 310 are pivotally connected to the middle area of the air outlet channel 110 and are close to the air outlet. Specifically, the middle area of the air outlet duct 110 mentioned here refers to a certain part located between two opposing air outlet duct walls (such as the first air outlet duct wall 111 and the second air outlet duct wall 112 described below). The pivot axis (line) between the first cantilever 210, the second cantilever 310 and the corresponding part of the air outlet duct 110 is located at a certain part between the two opposing air outlet duct walls. Taking a floor-standing air conditioner as an example, the pivot axis (line) extends in the vertical direction and is close to a certain part in the middle of the air outlet. The pivot axes of the first cantilever 210 and the second cantilever 310 and the corresponding part of the air outlet duct 110 can be set coaxially or parallel and spaced apart, as long as they do not interfere with each other during the rotation process of the corresponding air conditioning mode or the switching of air conditioning mode. There is no limitation here. In this embodiment of the invention, taking the first cantilever 210 and the second cantilever 310 as coaxial as an example, if the air conditioner is in the off state, the air outlet is in the off state, the air guide plate 200 blocks the air outlet, the zero air plate 300 is located in the air outlet channel 110, and the outer edge of the zero air plate 300 near the outer side is in close contact with the inner end face of the air guide plate 200.
[0071] Based on the above air conditioners, such as Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for an air conditioner, which includes the following steps:
[0072] Step S302: Obtain the air conditioning mode.
[0073] Specifically, for example, when the air conditioner is turned on, the user can set the air conditioning mode through the air conditioner's remote control device, such as a remote control or control panel, so that the air conditioner operates according to the air conditioning mode to meet the user's air conditioning needs. The air conditioning mode includes one of the following: normal air supply mode, zero-wind mode, wide-angle mode, and automatic air sweep mode. In practical applications, normal air supply mode can be understood as the air supply mode when the air conditioner is cooling / heating; zero-wind mode can be understood as the air supply mode where the air conditioner delivers air without a noticeable draft; and wide-angle mode can be understood as the air conditioner's wide-angle air supply mode. For specific details on each air conditioning mode, please refer to existing technologies; the embodiments of this invention will not be elaborated upon here.
[0074] Step S304: Control the air conditioner to operate in air conditioning mode.
[0075] Step S306: Control the air guide plate 200 to move to the large guide position angle corresponding to the air conditioning mode.
[0076] Among them, such as Figure 2A1 and Figure 2A2 As shown, when the air outlet is closed, the maximum conductor position angle is the maximum conductor zero-degree position angle, as follows. Figure 2A2 The position mark M0 indicates that the position angle of the air guide plate 200 is zero degrees. The large guide position angle is the rotation angle m of the air guide plate 200 relative to the large guide zero-degree position angle. In this way, the air guide plate 200 is controlled to move to the large guide position angle corresponding to the air conditioning mode in different air conditioning modes, which ensures the air supply effect of the air conditioning mode and improves the user's air conditioning comfort.
[0077] Step S308: Control the zero-airflow plate 300 to move to the small guide position angle corresponding to the air conditioning mode.
[0078] Similarly, such as Figure 2A1 and Figure 2A2 As shown, when the air outlet is closed, the small guide position angle is the small guide zero-degree position angle, as follows. Figure 2A2 The position mark N0 indicates that the position angle of the zero air vane 300 is zero degrees, and the small guide position angle is the rotation angle n of the zero air vane 300 relative to the zero-degree position angle of the small guide. In this way, the zero air vane 300 is controlled to move to the small guide position angle corresponding to the air conditioning mode in different air conditioning modes, which ensures the air supply effect of the air conditioning mode and improves the user's air conditioning comfort.
[0079] Therefore, the above-mentioned air conditioner control method controls the air guide plate 200 to move to the large guide position angle corresponding to the air conditioner mode and the zero air plate 300 to move to the small guide position angle corresponding to the air conditioner mode under different air conditioner modes. In this way, while achieving the air conditioner mode effect, the air supply comfort is ensured by adjusting the positions of the air guide plate 200 and the zero air plate 300, thereby improving the user's air conditioning comfort.
[0080] In one embodiment, when the air conditioning mode is the normal air supply mode; step S306 includes: controlling the air guide plate 200 to rotate to the first large guide position angle; step S308 includes: controlling the zero air plate 300 to rotate to the first small guide position angle.
[0081] That is, if the air conditioning mode is the normal air supply mode, the maximum guide position angle is when the air guide plate 200 rotates from the maximum guide zero position angle to the first maximum guide position angle (e.g. Figure 2B2 The position shown is marked as M1), and the small guide position angle is the zero wind plate 300 rotating relative to the zero position angle of the small guide to the first small guide position angle (e.g. Figure 2B2 The position shown is marked as N1), where the first major guide position angle is greater than the first minor guide position angle. For example... Figure 2B1 and Figure 2B2As shown, when the air guide plate 200 rotates to the first large guide position angle and the zero air plate 300 rotates to the first small guide position angle, one edge of the air guide plate 200 is located inside the air outlet channel 110 and is in close contact with the first air outlet channel wall 111 of the air outlet channel 110, while the other edge is located outside the air outlet; the zero air plate 300 is close to the second air outlet channel wall 112 of the air outlet channel 110, with one edge located inside the air outlet channel 110 and the other edge located outside the air outlet, and the second air outlet channel wall 112 is arranged opposite to the first air outlet channel wall 111; there is a gap between the air guide plate 200 and the zero air plate 300 to form a direct blowing channel, allowing the air conditioning air to be blown out directly, thus improving the user's air conditioning comfort.
[0082] It should be noted that the range of the first major guide position angle is [67°, 77°], i.e., m∈[67°, 77°], taking a first major guide position angle of 72° as an example; the range of the first minor guide position angle is [22°, 32°], i.e., n∈[22°, 32°], taking a first minor guide position angle of 27° as an example; specifically, the values of the first major guide position angle and the first minor guide position angle can also be other angle values, which can be set according to the actual situation, and are not limited here.
[0083] In this embodiment of the invention, to facilitate understanding of the positional relationship between the air guide plate 200 and the zero-air plate 310 when rotated to their respective position angles, a floor-standing air conditioner with two air outlets is used as an example. Figure 1b As shown, the air conditioner has an air duct 500 and a diverter cone 400. The diverter cone 400 is located directly in front of the air duct outlet of the air duct 500, so that the air conditioner forms two air outlets and divides the air outlet area in front of the air duct outlet into two air outlet channels 110. The air conditioning air is split into two paths and blown through the air outlet channels 110 to the corresponding air outlets and out. That is, the diverter cone 400 divides the air outlet area of the front panel of the air conditioner into left and right air outlets; wherein, as Figures 2A1-2D2 As shown, the X direction is the direction of extension of the dividing facade of the space between the two air outlets. For example, a middle panel (not shown in the figure) is provided in front of the flow divider cone 400. From the appearance, the middle panel divides the air outlet area of the air conditioner into two air outlets, left and right. The X direction is the direction of extension of the dividing facade of the middle panel, the D direction is the horizontal tangential direction of the middle part of the air guide plate 200, and the L direction is the horizontal tangential direction of the middle part of the zero air plate 300. The angle between the D direction and the X direction is the angle α between the air guide plate 200 and the dividing facade, and the angle between the L direction and the X direction is the angle β between the zero air plate 300 and the dividing facade. That is, with the dividing facade as the reference plane, the positional relationship between the air guide plate 200 and the zero air plate 300 is further explained by the angles α and β. In this embodiment of the invention, when the first large guide position angle is 72°, the angle α = 8°, and when the first small guide position angle is 27°, the angle β = 20°.
[0084] In one embodiment, when the air conditioning mode is zero-wind mode and the air conditioner cools the air outlet; step S306 includes: controlling the air guide plate 200 to rotate to the second large guide position angle; step S308 includes: controlling the zero-wind plate 300 to rotate to the second small guide position angle.
[0085] That is, if the air conditioner is in zero-wind mode and the air conditioner is cooling the air outlet, the largest guide angle is when the air guide plate 200 rotates from the largest zero-degree guide angle to the second largest guide angle (e.g., Figure 2C2 The position shown is marked as M2), and the small guide position angle is the zero wind plate 300 rotated relative to the zero position angle of the small guide to the second small guide position angle (e.g. Figure 2C2 The position shown is marked as N2), where the second largest guide position angle is not greater than the second smallest guide position angle, and the second smallest guide position angle is greater than the first smallest guide position angle. That is, the rotation angle of the air guide plate 200 is not greater than the rotation angle of the zero-air plate 300. Preferably, when the air conditioner is in the off state, the air outlet is in the closed state, the air guide plate 200 blocks the air outlet, the zero-air plate 300 is located in the air outlet channel 110, and the outer edge of the zero-air plate 300 near the outer side is in close contact with the edge of the inner end face of the air guide plate 200. The rotation angle of the air guide plate 200 (second largest guide position angle) is equal to the rotation angle of the zero-air plate 300 (second smallest guide position angle). The position marks M2 and N2 can be synchronously rotated to the position angle corresponding to the zero-wind mode; when the air conditioner is off, the zero-wind plate 300 is located in the air outlet duct 110, and the outer edge of the zero-wind plate 300 near the outer side is not tightly attached to the inner end face of the air guide plate 200 (there is a significant gap between them), then the rotation angle of the zero-wind plate 300 must be greater than the rotation angle of the air guide plate 200 to make the outer edge of the zero-wind plate 300 near the outer side tightly attached to the inner end face of the air guide plate 200 (i.e., the inner air guide end face 201, for example, the edge part tightly attached to the inner air guide end face 201). That is, at this time, the second large guide position angle is smaller than the second small guide position angle. In this embodiment of the invention, taking the outer edge of the zero-wind plate 300 near the outer side tightly attached to the inner end face of the air guide plate 200 when the air conditioner is off as an example, such as... Figure 2C1 and Figure 2C2As shown, the air conditioner is in zero-wind mode and blowing cold air. When the air guide plate 200 rotates to the second largest guide position angle and the zero-wind plate 300 rotates to the second smallest guide position angle, the second smallest guide position angle is equal to the second largest guide position angle. That is, both rotate synchronously at the same position angle until one edge of the air guide plate 200 is located inside the air outlet duct 110 and is in close contact with the first air outlet duct wall 111 of the air outlet duct 110, and the other edge is located outside the air outlet; the zero-wind plate 300 is close to the second air outlet duct of the air outlet duct 110. The second air outlet channel wall 112 has one edge located outside the air outlet and closely attached to the air guide plate 200, while the other edge is closely attached to the edge of the air outlet. The second air outlet channel wall 112 is arranged opposite to the first air outlet channel wall 111. A gap space exists between the air guide plate 200 and the second air outlet channel wall 112 to form a zero-wind channel. The zero-wind plate 300 blocks the outlet of the zero-wind channel. The air conditioning air passes through the zero-wind channel and blows towards the zero-wind plate 300, achieving a windless air conditioning effect when the air is vented, thereby improving user comfort. It should be noted that the statement that the other edge of the zero-wind plate 300 is closely attached to the edge of the air outlet means that the other edge of the zero-wind plate 300 is basically closely attached to the edge of the air outlet. In addition to being absolutely attached, it also includes the other edge being located inside the air outlet channel 110 and close to the edge of the air outlet. This is not limited here.
[0086] It should be noted that the range of the second major guide position angle is [77°, 87°], i.e., m∈[77°, 87°]. Taking the second major guide position angle as 82° as an example, the included angle α=18°. The range of the second minor guide position angle is [77°, 87°], i.e., n∈[77°, 87°]. Taking the second minor guide position angle as 82° as an example, the included angle β=74°. Specifically, the values of the second major guide position angle and the second minor guide position angle can also be other angle values, which can be set according to the actual situation, and are not limited here.
[0087] In one implementation, when the air conditioning mode is zero-wind mode and the air conditioner heats the air outlet; step S306 includes: controlling the air guide plate 200 to maintain at the current large guide position angle; step 308 includes: controlling the zero-wind plate 300 to maintain at the current small guide position angle.
[0088] When the air conditioner is turned on, if the user sets the air conditioner to cooling or heating, the air guide vane 200 and the zero-air vane 300 operate in the normal air supply mode to cool or heat the air outlet. During operation, if the user sets the air conditioner to zero-air mode and the air conditioner is heating the outlet air, the air guide vane 200 is maintained at its current maximum guide angle; this maximum guide angle is the current maximum guide angle when the air conditioner is set to zero-air mode and the air guide vane 200 is operating in the normal air supply mode. Similarly, the zero-air vane 300 is maintained at its current minimum guide angle; this minimum guide angle is the current minimum guide angle when the air conditioner is set to zero-air mode and the zero-air vane 300 is operating in the normal air supply mode. Therefore, when the air conditioner is in zero-air mode and the air conditioner is heating the outlet air, the air guide vane 200 and the zero-air vane 300 remain at their respective current position angles and do not need to rotate.
[0089] For normal air supply mode operation, existing normal air supply modes can be referenced. For example, in normal air supply mode, the air guide plate 200 and the zero-air plate 300 are respectively positioned at a certain position during the automatic air sweeping mode to achieve roughly forward direct airflow. For example, during normal air supply mode operation, the current large guide plate position angle is greater than the current small guide plate position angle; such as... Figure 2B1 and Figure 2B2 As shown, one edge of the air guide plate 200 is located inside the air outlet channel 110 and is in close contact with the first air outlet channel wall 111 of the air outlet channel 110, while the other edge is located outside the air outlet. The zero-air plate 300 is close to the second air outlet channel wall 112 of the air outlet channel 110, with one edge located inside the air outlet channel 110 and the other edge located outside the air outlet. The second air outlet channel wall 112 is positioned opposite to the first air outlet channel wall 111. There is a gap between the air guide plate 200 and the zero-air plate 300, forming a direct blowing channel for the air conditioning air to be blown out directly. Since the air conditioner heats the air outlet at this time, the zero-air mode cannot be achieved, and the air conditioner blows directly. In the normal air supply mode, The range of the current large guide angle can be [67°, 77°], i.e., m∈[67°, 77°]. Taking the current large guide angle as 72° as an example, the included angle α=8°. The range of the current small guide angle can be [22°, 32°], i.e., n∈[22°, 32°]. Taking the current small guide angle as 27° as an example, the included angle β=20°. That is, when the air conditioner is in zero-wind mode and blowing hot air, the position angles of the air guide plate 200 and the zero-wind plate 300 can be roughly the same as those in the direct-blow mode in the normal mode. Specifically, the values of the current large guide angle and the current small guide angle can also be other angle values, which can be set according to the actual situation.
[0090] It should be noted that, apart from the above-mentioned situation where the air conditioner is cooling or heating and the air guide plate 200 and the zero-air plate 300 are operating in the normal air supply mode, when the air conditioner is in wide-angle mode or automatic air sweeping mode (see subsequent explanation), during operation, when the user sets the air conditioner mode to zero air mode and the air conditioner is heating the air outlet, the position angles of the air guide plate 200 and the zero-air plate 300 at this time are obtained, and the position angle of the air guide plate 200 is defined as the current large guide position angle, the position angle of the zero-air plate 300 is defined as the current small guide position angle, and the air guide plate 200 and the zero-air plate 300 are controlled to maintain their original state, that is, the air guide plate 200 is controlled to maintain the current large guide position angle when in wide-angle mode or automatic air sweeping mode, and the zero-air plate 300 is controlled to maintain the current small guide position angle when in wide-angle mode or automatic air sweeping mode.
[0091] In one embodiment, if the air conditioning mode is wide-angle mode; step S306 includes: controlling the air guide plate 200 to rotate to the third large guide position angle; step S308 includes: controlling the zero air plate 300 to rotate to the third small guide position angle.
[0092] That is, if the air conditioning mode is wide-angle mode, the large guide position angle is when the air guide plate 200 rotates from the large guide zero position angle to the third large guide position angle (e.g. Figure 2D2 The position marked M3 in the figure shows that the small guide position angle is the zero wind plate 300 rotated relative to the zero position angle of the small guide to the third small guide position angle (e.g., Figure 2D2 The position marked N3 is shown in the figure, where the third major guide position angle is greater than the third minor guide position angle, and the first and second major guide position angles are both less than the third major guide position angle. Figure 2D1 and Figure 2D2As shown, one edge of the air guide plate 200 is located inside the air outlet channel 110 and has gaps between it and both the second air outlet channel wall 112 and the first air outlet channel wall 111 of the air outlet channel 110, while the other edge is located outside the air outlet; the zero-air plate 300 is close to the second air outlet channel wall 112 of the air outlet channel 110, with one edge located outside the air outlet and the other edge tightly attached to the edge of the air outlet. The second air outlet channel wall 112 and the first air outlet channel wall 111 are arranged opposite to each other. It should be noted that the other edge of the zero-air plate 300 is tightly attached to the edge of the air outlet. The edge of the air vent refers to the other edge of the zero-air plate 300 being basically flush with the edge of the air outlet. This includes not only absolute flushing but also the other edge being located within the air outlet duct 110 and close to the edge of the air outlet; this is not limited here. There is a gap between the air guide plate 200 and the first air outlet duct wall 111, forming a first wide-angle channel. There is also a gap between the air guide plate 200 and the zero-air plate 300, forming a second wide-angle channel, allowing the air conditioning air to be directly blown out, thus achieving wide-angle air supply from the air conditioner and improving user comfort. Compared to the conventional air supply mode, in wide-angle mode, the air guide plate 200 directs the air conditioning air to the side area of the air conditioner, thereby expanding the air supply area of the air conditioner and meeting a wider range of air supply needs. In the above embodiments, taking the third small guide position angle being equal to the second small guide position angle as an example, the end face of the zero-air plate 300 extends as far as possible in the horizontal direction. The zero-air plate 300 can ensure the air guiding angle and length of the second wide-angle channel towards the side of the air conditioner as much as possible, thereby ensuring the air volume delivered to the side area of the air conditioner in the wide-angle mode as much as possible. In addition to this method, the third small guide position angle can also be smaller than the second small guide position angle. For example, the third small guide position angle is slightly smaller than the second small guide position angle. In this case, the zero-air plate 300 can be set not to extend completely outside the air outlet. That is, the other edge of the zero-air plate 300 is located inside the air outlet channel 110 and close to the edge of the air outlet, which can also ensure that a certain degree of wide-angle air volume is provided through the second wide-angle channel.
[0093] It should be noted that the range of the third major guide position angle is [122°, 132°], that is, m∈[122°, 132°]. Taking the third major guide position angle as 127° as an example, the included angle α=63°. The range of the third minor guide position angle is [77°, 87°], that is, n∈[77°, 87°]. Taking the third minor guide position angle as 82° as an example, the included angle β=74°. Specifically, the values of the third major guide position angle and the third minor guide position angle can also be other angle values, which can be set according to the actual situation.
[0094] In one embodiment, if the air conditioning mode is automatic swing mode; step 306 includes: controlling the air guide plate 200 to rotate to the swing position angle region between the fourth major guide position angle and the fifth major guide position angle, and reciprocating within the swing position angle region; step 308 includes: controlling the zero air plate 300 to rotate to the fourth minor guide position angle.
[0095] That is, if the air conditioning mode is automatic swing mode, the large guide position angle is the swing position angle area between the fourth and fifth large guide position angles when the air guide plate 200 rotates relative to the large guide zero position angle. The air guide plate 200 reciprocates within the swing position angle area. The small guide position angle is the rotation of the zero air plate 300 relative to the small guide zero position angle to the fourth small guide position angle. Among them, the third large guide position angle is greater than the fifth large guide position angle, which is greater than the fourth large guide position angle and greater than the fourth small guide position angle. The fourth small guide position angle is less than the second small guide position angle and greater than the small guide zero position angle. At this time, one edge of the air guide plate 200 is located inside the air outlet channel 110 and has gaps between it and both the second air outlet channel wall 112 and the first air outlet channel wall 111 of the air outlet channel 110, while the other edge is located outside the air outlet. The zero-air plate 300 is close to the second air outlet channel wall 112 of the air outlet channel 110, with one edge located inside the air outlet channel 110 and the other edge located outside the air outlet. The second air outlet channel wall 112 and the first air outlet channel wall 111 are arranged opposite to each other. There is a gap between the air guide plate 200 and the first air outlet channel wall 111 to form a first sweeping channel, and there is a gap between the air guide plate 200 and the zero-air plate 300 to form a second sweeping channel, allowing the air conditioning air to be blown out directly. Thus, through the automatic sweeping of the air conditioner, the user's air conditioning comfort is improved.
[0096] It should be noted that the range of the fourth major guide angle is [47°, 57°], i.e., m∈[47°, 57°]; the range of the fifth major guide angle is [107°, 117°], i.e., m∈[107°, 117°]; and the range of the fourth minor guide angle is [22°, 32°], i.e., n∈[22°, 32°]. The specific values of the fourth, fifth, and fourth minor guide angles can be set according to the actual situation. In some scenarios, multiple position angles can be set between the fourth and fifth major guide angles. For example, if the fourth major guide angle is 52° and the fifth major guide angle is 112°, a position angle of 72° can be added between the fourth and fifth major guide angles. In this case, the air guide plate 200 is controlled to rotate back and forth between 52°—72°—112° to achieve the automatic air sweeping effect of the air conditioner.
[0097] In one embodiment, the method further includes: if the air conditioner receives a shutdown command, determining the rotation angle of the air guide plate 200 as the large air guide rotation angle and determining the rotation angle of the zero air plate 300 as the small air guide rotation angle; wherein, the large air guide rotation angle is the sum of the current large air guide position angle of the air guide plate 200 and a first preset angle, and the small air guide rotation angle is the sum of the current small air guide position angle of the zero air plate 300 and a second preset angle; according to the small air guide rotation angle, controlling the zero air plate 300 to rotate to the initial position N0 corresponding to the small air guide zero degree position angle; according to the large air guide rotation angle, controlling the air guide plate 200 to rotate to the initial position M0 corresponding to the large air guide zero degree position angle. That is, when the air conditioner is turned off, the zero air deflector 300 is controlled to rotate to the initial position corresponding to the small guide zero-degree position angle according to the sum of the current small guide position angle and the second preset angle; the air guide 200 is controlled to rotate to the initial position corresponding to the large guide zero-degree position angle according to the sum of the current large guide position angle and the first preset angle.
[0098] The first preset angle range is [5°, 35°], and the second preset angle range is also [5°, 35°]. Taking an example where both the first and second preset angles are 30°, the large guide rotation angle is determined based on the current large guide position angle of the air guide plate 200 and the first preset angle. The large guide rotation angle = current large guide position angle (air guide plate 200) + 30°. The air guide plate 200 is then rotated according to the large guide rotation angle. In this case, even if the current large guide position angle of the air guide plate 200 has a deviation (such as being greater than the preset current position angle), rotating the large guide rotation angle can still ensure the air conditioner's performance. When the air conditioner is turned off, the air guide vane 200 can rotate back to the initial position corresponding to the zero-degree position angle of the large guide vane. Similarly, the small guide vane rotation angle is determined based on the current small guide vane position angle of the zero-air vane 300 and the second preset angle. The small guide vane rotation angle = current small guide vane position angle (zero-air vane 300) + 30°. At this time, even if the current small guide vane position angle of the zero-air vane 300 has a deviation (such as being greater than the preset current position angle), and the rotation of the zero-air vane 300 is controlled according to the small guide vane rotation angle, the zero-air vane 300 can still rotate back to the initial position corresponding to the zero-degree position angle of the small guide vane when the air conditioner is turned off. Therefore, when the air conditioner is turned off, by controlling the air guide vane 200 and the zero-air vane 300 to rotate back to their respective initial positions, the safe operation of the air conditioner when it is turned on again is ensured. It should be noted that when the large guide vane rotation angle is greater than the actual rotation angle of the guide vane 200 to the large guide vane zero-degree position angle, due to the first limiting structure at the corresponding position of the air conditioner, although the guide vane 200 tends to continue rotating after rotating to the large guide vane zero-degree position angle, it will remain at the large guide vane zero-degree position angle due to the obstruction of the first limiting structure; similarly, when the small guide vane rotation angle is greater than the actual rotation angle of the zero air vane 300 to the small guide vane zero-degree position angle, due to the first limiting structure at the corresponding position of the air conditioner... With a second limiting structure, after the zero-air vane 300 rotates to a small zero-degree position angle, although it tends to continue rotating, it will stop at the small zero-degree position angle due to the blocking effect of the second limiting structure. The first and second limiting structures can be existing conventional limiting structures, such as setting a limiting protrusion at a suitable position on the air conditioner, as long as it can block the air guide vane 200 and the zero-air vane 300 to the corresponding zero-degree position angle. The specific structure is not limited here and will not be elaborated further. It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the first preset angle corresponding to the air guide vane 200 and the second preset angle corresponding to the zero-air vane 300 can be set to the same preset angle value. Besides this setting, the preset angle values of the two can also be set to different angle values, as long as it can ensure that the air guide vane 200 and the zero-air vane 300 can rotate to the corresponding zero-degree position angle. This is not limited here.
[0099] In one implementation, such as Figures 1a-1b As shown, the first cantilever 210 and the second cantilever 310 are pivotally connected on the same axis, that is, they are coaxially pivotally connected, as shown in the figure. Figure 2A2 , Figure 2B2 , Figure 2C2 , Figure 2D2 The pivot shaft indicated by point H in the diagram is specifically: the first cantilever 210 is fixedly equipped with a first pivot shaft 230, which is connected to a first motor 220 and mounted on the air outlet frame 100; the second cantilever 310 is located above the first cantilever 210, and is fixedly equipped with a second pivot shaft 330, which has a shaft hole through which the first pivot shaft 230 passes and is rotatably disposed relative to it; the air conditioner also includes a crank 340, a connecting rod 350, and a swing arm 360. The second pivot shaft 330 is rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 100 and fixed to one end of the swing arm 360. The other end of the swing arm 360 is pivotally connected to one end of the connecting rod 350, and the other end of the connecting rod 350 is pivotally connected to one end of the crank 340. The other end of the crank 340 is connected to a second motor 320 and mounted on the air outlet frame 100. It should be noted that for parts not mentioned in the above air conditioner, existing air conditioners can be referenced, and the embodiments of the present invention will not be described in detail here.
[0100] Specifically, step S306 includes: controlling the first motor 220 to drive the air guide plate 200 to rotate to the large air guide position angle; step 308 includes: controlling the second motor 320 to drive the zero air plate 300 to rotate to the small air guide position angle; wherein, as Figures 2A1-2A2 As shown, when the air outlet is closed, the zero-air vane 300 is located within the air outlet duct 110, at which point the included angle α = -64°; the air guide vane 200 blocks the air outlet, at which point the included angle β = -7°. Therefore, by driving the air guide vane 200 to rotate to the large guide position angle via the first motor 220 and driving the zero-air vane 300 to rotate to the small guide position angle via the second motor 320, independent drive control of the air guide vane 200 and the zero-air vane 300 is achieved, thereby improving the control accuracy of the air guide vane 200 and the zero-air vane 300, and thus improving the air outlet effect of the air conditioner and ensuring user comfort.
[0101] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 1a-1b As shown, the air guide plate 200 has an inner air guide end face 201 and an outer air guide end face 202 arranged opposite to each other. A first cantilever 210 is fixed to the inner air guide end face 201. The first cantilever 210 has a first axial protrusion protruding upwards from its upper surface. The first axial protrusion has a first limiting hole. The cross-sectional shapes of the first limiting hole and the outer side profile of the first rotating shaft 230 are both first irregular structures and are compatible to restrict relative rotation between them, thereby achieving synchronous rotation. That is, the first rotating shaft 230 drives the air guide plate 200 to rotate through the first axial protrusion. The first irregular structure is a polygonal structure, such as a quadrilateral. Figures 1a-1bAs shown, the zero-wind plate 300 has an inner zero-wind end face 301 and an outer zero-wind end face 302 arranged opposite to each other. The second cantilever 310 is fixed to the inner zero-wind end face 301. The second cantilever 310 is fixed with a second axial protrusion protruding upward from its upper surface. The second axial protrusion is provided with a second limiting hole. The cross-sectional shape of the second limiting hole and the outer side profile of the second rotating shaft 330 is a second irregular structure and is adapted to each other to restrict the relative rotation between the two, thereby realizing synchronous rotation. That is, the second rotating shaft 330 drives the zero-wind plate 300 to rotate through the second axial protrusion. The second irregular structure is a polygon, such as a hexagon.
[0102] It should be noted that, except for floor-standing air conditioners with two air outlets, the embodiments of the present invention can also be used for other types of air conditioners, such as floor-standing air conditioners or wall-mounted units with one or more air outlets. In this case, the included angles α and β can be defined using other references (surfaces), such as the dividing surface of the surface where the air outlet is located or the dividing surface of the interval area between adjacent air outlets, etc., which are not limited here.
[0103] In summary, the air conditioner control method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner is first turned on and running. The user sets the air conditioning mode according to actual needs. The air conditioning modes include one of the following: normal air supply mode, zero airflow mode, wide-angle mode, and automatic air sweeping mode. The control process of the air guide plate 200 and the zero airflow plate 300 in each air conditioning mode is explained below:
[0104] (1) Normal air supply mode; that is, when the air conditioning mode is normal air supply mode, the air guide plate 200 is controlled to rotate to the first large guide position angle, and the zero air plate 300 is controlled to rotate to the first small guide position angle.
[0105] (2) Zero-wind mode; When the air conditioner is in zero-wind mode, first determine whether the air conditioner is cooling the air outlet. If so, control the air guide plate 200 to rotate to the second largest guide position angle and control the zero-wind plate 300 to rotate to the second smallest guide position angle. If the air conditioner is not cooling the air outlet, such as heating, then control the air guide plate 200 to maintain the current largest guide position angle and control the zero-wind plate 300 to maintain the current smallest guide position angle.
[0106] (3) Wide-angle mode; When the air conditioning mode is wide-angle mode, control the air guide plate 200 to rotate to the third large guide position angle, and control the zero air plate 300 to rotate to the third small guide position angle;
[0107] (4) Automatic air sweeping mode; When the air conditioning mode is automatic air sweeping mode, the air guide plate 200 is controlled to reciprocate within the air sweeping position angle area between the fourth and fifth major guide position angles, and the zero air plate 300 is controlled to rotate to the fourth minor guide position angle.
[0108] (5) When the air conditioner is turned off, the zero air plate 300 is controlled to rotate to the initial position with a position angle of zero degrees according to the sum of the current small guide position angle of the zero air plate 300 and the second preset angle; the air guide plate 200 is controlled to rotate to the initial position with a position angle of zero degrees according to the sum of the current large guide position angle of the air guide plate 200 and the first preset angle.
[0109] Therefore, for different air conditioning modes, the air guide plate 200 is controlled to move to the large guide position angle corresponding to the air conditioning mode and the zero air plate 300 is controlled to move to the small guide position angle corresponding to the air conditioning mode. In this way, while achieving the effect of the air conditioning mode, the air supply comfort is ensured by adjusting the position of the air guide plate 200 and the zero air plate 300, thereby improving the user's air conditioning comfort.
