[0024] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0025] It should be noted that all actions of acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the device is located and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0026] In the process of using an air conditioner to adjust the temperature, the user usually sets a temperature value to be adjusted. In order to adjust the ambient temperature to the temperature value set by the user, a temperature sensor is set in the environment; for example, a temperature sensor may be set at the return air outlet of the air conditioner, or a temperature sensor matching the air conditioner may be set at a fixed place in the environment. In the related art, the temperature collected by the sensor is usually determined as the ambient temperature. In the temperature adjustment process, the ambient temperature can be compared with the user-set temperature to determine how the air conditioner should work.

[0027] However, during the temperature adjustment process, the indoor unit delivers air with a temperature difference from the original ambient temperature, and changes the ambient temperature after the delivered air undergoes heat exchange with the air in the original environment. Since the air supply direction is relatively fixed and the heat exchange process takes time, the temperature change process in various areas of the room may be different. At this time, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor can only represent the temperature of the area, and cannot represent the temperature of most areas of the room when the heat exchange of the air in the entire indoor space is in a stable state. It can also be understood that during the temperature adjustment process, the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor cannot represent the actual ambient temperature; therefore, determining the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor may misindicate the temperature adjustment process of the air conditioner, thereby prolonging the temperature adjustment process, or failing to adjust the ambient temperature to the temperature the user wants to set.

[0028] In the present disclosure, in the process of determining the operating parameters of the air conditioner, the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor of the air conditioner and the indoor unit is first determined, and based on at least the relative position relationship, the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor is corrected; in this way, the corrected real-time temperature value can be closer to the actual ambient temperature; the corrected real-time temperature value is then determined as the indoor temperature value, and the operating parameters of the air conditioner are determined based on the indoor temperature value; in this way, the operating parameters of the air conditioner can be determined more accurately, thereby facilitating efficient and accurate temperature adjustment.

[0029] Figure 1 is a flow chart of an air conditioning control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning control method is used in a terminal (eg, an air conditioner), and includes the following steps.

[0030] In S11, the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit of the air conditioner is determined.

[0031] Here, the air conditioner usually includes an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit is responsible for cooling or heating, while the indoor unit is responsible for delivering cold air or hot air to the room and transporting the hot air or cold air in the room to the outside through pipes. In this way, the indoor temperature can be adjusted.

[0032] The external temperature sensor of the indoor unit and the air conditioner is usually installed in the same indoor environment, and the external temperature sensor is used to detect the ambient temperature.

[0033] It should be noted that in different environments, the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit may be different, and there are many reasons for this difference, such as: different entrance openings or decoration styles in different rooms, different habits of different users, different habits of different decoration workers, etc., all of which may cause the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit to be different in different environments.

[0034] Therefore, in the present disclosure, the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor of the air conditioner and the indoor unit is first determined, so that the deviation between the actual temperature value detected by the temperature sensor and the actual temperature value of the environment can be more accurately determined; so as to more accurately determine the actual indoor temperature value (the temperature value of the indoor air after the heat exchange is completed, or the temperature value of most of the indoor air after the heat exchange is completed).

[0035] In some possible implementations, when the air conditioner is a central air conditioner, the external temperature sensor is usually integrated into the control panel of the air conditioner (which can be understood as a controller for users to adjust air conditioner control parameters such as temperature and wind speed), and the control panel of the air conditioner is usually installed on the indoor wall (usually about 1.2 meters away from the ground). That is, the area where the user may often move may not be the area where the external temperature sensor is set. Therefore, in order to more accurately determine the temperature of the area where the user may often move, the temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor can be corrected.

[0036] In S12, based at least on the relative position relationship, the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor is corrected; and the corrected real-time temperature value is determined as the indoor temperature value.

[0037] It should be understood that during the temperature adjustment process, since it takes time for the air to exchange heat, the temperature conditions at different locations in the room may be different. For example, the area facing the air supply direction of the indoor unit will exchange heat first, and the area facing away from the air supply direction will exchange heat later. It can be seen that when the temperature sensor is installed in different locations, the ambient temperature value that needs to be corrected may be different.

[0038] For ease of understanding, you can combine Figure 2A-2B To illustrate with an example, Figure 2A It can be understood as a three-dimensional schematic diagram of installing an indoor unit and an external temperature sensor in an indoor space. Figure 2B It can be understood as a top view of the indoor unit and external temperature sensor installed in the indoor space. Figure 2A-2B As shown, when the air delivery direction of the indoor unit 201 is toward position B202, most of the air output by the indoor unit 201 reaches position B202 first, and can exchange heat with the air at position B202, so that the temperature at position B202 changes faster, and then the heat exchange process gradually reaches position A203 or C204. Since the temperature difference of the heat exchange process may be small at this time, the temperature change of position A203 or C204 is slow, and since position D205 is close to the output port of the indoor unit 201, part of the air output by the indoor unit 201 may also reach position D202 first. That is, the order of temperature change from high to low can be: position B202>position D205>position A203 or C204.

[0039] It can be seen that there is a difference in the order of heat exchange between the air in different areas of the indoor space and the air output by the indoor unit, and accordingly, the temperature values ​​of different areas are different. Therefore, when the external temperature sensor is installed at different positions in the indoor space, the value corrected for the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor is also different.

[0040] In the present disclosure, the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit is first determined, and this relative position relationship is taken into consideration when correcting the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor. In this way, a more accurate correction of the real-time temperature detected by the external temperature detector can be achieved.

[0041] In S13, based on the indoor temperature value, the operating parameters of the air conditioner are determined.

[0042] As an example, after determining the indoor temperature value, the difference between the indoor temperature at this time and the temperature set by the user can be determined, so that the operating parameters of the air conditioner can be better determined. For example, when the difference between the indoor temperature value and the temperature value set by the user is small, the operating power of the air conditioner can be gradually reduced (for example, by reducing the operating power of the air conditioner by frequency modulation). Correspondingly, when the difference between the indoor temperature value and the temperature value set by the user is still large, the air conditioner can continue to operate at the current operating power.

[0043] In the present disclosure, the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit of the air conditioner is determined; and based on at least the relative position relationship, the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor is corrected; and the corrected real-time temperature value is determined as the indoor temperature value; based on the indoor temperature value, the operating parameters of the air conditioner are determined. That is, in the process of correcting the real-time temperature value to obtain the indoor temperature value, the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit is considered, so that the correction of the real-time temperature value can be achieved more accurately, so that the operating parameters of the air conditioner can be determined more accurately, so that the air conditioner can better adjust the temperature to the temperature required by the user.

[0044] In some embodiments, the step of “correcting the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor based at least on the relative position relationship” in S12 may specifically include:

[0045] Based on the relative position relationship and the fan operating gear of the indoor unit, the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor is corrected.

[0046] As an example, the higher the fan speed of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is, the faster the air output from the indoor unit is. Correspondingly, the more air is output from the indoor unit, which may cause a greater temperature difference between different areas of the room. For example, since a large amount of air output from the indoor unit is concentrated in the air delivery direction, the temperature in the air delivery direction of the indoor unit may change faster, while the temperature change rate in other areas may be far less than the temperature change rate in the air delivery direction of the indoor unit, which may cause a greater temperature difference between different areas of the room.

[0047] Generally speaking, the higher the fan operating gear is, the more temperature values ​​need to be corrected. In the present disclosure, the relative position relationship (the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit) and the fan operating gear are taken into consideration at the same time, and the temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor is corrected. This can more accurately achieve the correction of the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor.

[0048] In some embodiments, based on the relative position relationship and the fan operating gear of the indoor unit, correcting the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor may specifically include:

[0049] Based on the relative position relationship and the fan operation gear, a temperature compensation value is determined; according to the temperature compensation value, a real-time temperature value detected by an external temperature sensor is corrected.

[0050] As an example, the compensation value can be understood as the deviation between the actual possible ambient temperature value and the detected real-time temperature value. Adding the compensation value to the detected real-time temperature value can correct the real-time temperature value and obtain the indoor temperature value.

[0051] It should be understood that the compensation value can be either positive or negative. For example, if the temperature adjustment process indicates a temperature drop, and if the external temperature sensor is installed in the air supply direction of the indoor unit, the temperature of the area where the external temperature sensor is installed changes rapidly, that is, the temperature detected by the external temperature sensor may be lower than the actual ambient temperature. In this case, the temperature compensation value may be a positive value. Correspondingly, if the temperature adjustment process indicates a temperature rise, and the external temperature sensor is installed in the air supply direction of the indoor unit, the temperature detected by the external temperature sensor may be higher than the actual ambient temperature. In this case, the temperature compensation value may be a negative value.

[0052] That is, in the present disclosure, by determining the temperature compensation value, it is possible to conveniently implement correction for the detected real-time temperature value.

[0053] In some embodiments, determining the temperature compensation value based on the relative position relationship and the fan operating gear may specifically include:

[0054] The compensation corresponding information is obtained, and based on the relative position relationship and the fan running gear, a target compensation range is determined from the compensation corresponding information; and a temperature compensation value is determined from the target temperature compensation range.

[0055] Here, the compensation correspondence information may include: correspondence information between the compensation range and the position relationship and the operating gear position.

[0056] In the present disclosure, the compensation corresponding information may indicate the corresponding relationship information between the compensation range and the position relationship and the operating gear after the fan runs for a preset time. It can be understood that the fan of the indoor unit uses the compensation corresponding information to determine the current detected real-time temperature value for correction and determine the indoor temperature value only after the preset time. This method can also save computing resources as much as possible, and the specific value of the preset time can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the preset time can be 5 minutes.

[0057] It should be understood that when the indoor unit is just running (for example, when it has only been running for 10 seconds), the temperature of the entire room may not have changed effectively, and it is obviously unnecessary to correct the temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor. However, when the indoor unit has been running for a preset time, the compensation correspondence can be used to correct the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor.

[0058] In some implementations, after the temperature compensation value is determined, if the indoor unit does not change the operating gear, the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor can be compensated with the determined temperature compensation value (because the heat exchange process of the ambient temperature is relatively stable at this time, the temperature of each area is also relatively stable. Therefore, after compensating the real-time temperature collected by the external temperature sensor at this time, it can better reflect the temperature of most areas in the room, or can be understood as the temperature of the area where the user may be active frequently). In this way, it is convenient to more accurately adjust the room temperature to the temperature required by the user.

[0059] Here, by constructing compensation correspondence information in advance, the efficiency of determining the temperature compensation value can be improved.

[0060] In order to facilitate understanding of the compensation corresponding information disclosed in the present invention, it can be combined with Figure 2A-2B , Figure 3 To explain, Figure 3 It can be understood as a schematic diagram of possible compensation corresponding information. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the corresponding relationship between the fan gear, position relationship and compensation range can be clearly determined. Figure 3 The target compensation range can be determined efficiently, and thus the temperature compensation value can also be determined efficiently.

[0061] In some implementations, the temperature compensation value can be determined from the target temperature compensation range based on factors such as the indoor area and the age of the air conditioner. For example, the larger the indoor area, the larger the value in the target compensation range can be determined as the temperature compensation value, and the older the air conditioner, the smaller the value in the target compensation range can be determined as the temperature compensation value. Of course, how to determine the temperature compensation value from the target temperature compensation range can be reasonably selected according to actual conditions.

[0062] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes a temperature display, and the air conditioner control method further includes:

[0063] Before determining the temperature compensation value, determine the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor displayed by the temperature display; after determining the temperature compensation value, determine the display temperature value of the temperature display based on the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor and the temperature compensation value.

[0064] As an example, the present invention determines the temperature compensation value after the indoor unit has been running for a preset period of time. In this way, before the temperature compensation value is determined, the temperature value displayed on the temperature display can be equal to the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor. After the temperature compensation value is determined, in order to enable the user to clearly know the actual indoor temperature value, the temperature value displayed on the temperature display can be determined based on the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor and the temperature compensation value; in this way, the user can also know the current indoor temperature value based on the displayed temperature value.

[0065] In some embodiments, determining the display temperature value of the temperature display based on the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor and the temperature compensation value may specifically include:

[0066] The current compensation amount is determined according to the current compensated time and the preset compensation rate; the displayed temperature value of the temperature display is determined according to the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor and the current compensation amount.

[0067] Here, the compensation rate indicates a ratio of the compensated temperature to time.

[0068] As an example, the preset compensation rate can be selected between 0.1°C / minute and 0.2°C / minute. By setting the preset compensation rate, the temperature displayed on the temperature display will not jump, that is, the temperature displayed on the temperature display changes gradually, which is more in line with the actual temperature adjustment process, so that the temperature compensation can be achieved without the user noticing.

[0069] For example, the current detected real-time temperature value is 15°C, and the determined temperature compensation value is 5°C. If a one-time compensation method is used, the temperature display will directly change from displaying 15°C to displaying 20°C, which allows the user to clearly find the temperature compensation process, or may cause the user to mistakenly believe that the temperature display is wrong. The method disclosed in the present invention uses a preset compensation rate to compensate 5°C (temperature compensation value) to the real-time temperature value. For example, the current real-time temperature value is 15°C. At this time, 0.2°C is compensated, and 15.2°C is displayed. One minute later, the real-time temperature is detected to be 15.2°C. 0.4°C is compensated, and 15.6°C is displayed. And so on, until the temperature compensation value is fully compensated to the detected real-time temperature. At this time, the difference between the displayed temperature of the temperature display and the detected real-time temperature value is the temperature compensation value.

[0070] It can be seen that the present disclosure adopts a temperature compensation method with a preset rate, so that the temperature displayed by the temperature display will not change drastically, thereby providing a better user experience.

[0071] In some implementations, the temperature compensation value can be compensated in a segmented compensation manner. For example, if the compensation rate is 0.1°C / minute, the detected real-time temperature values ​​are all compensated by 0.1°C and displayed during the first minute of compensation. During the second minute, the detected real-time temperature values ​​are all compensated by 0.2°C and displayed, and so on. In this way, it is possible to avoid calculating the compensation amount all the time, saving the computing resources required for the compensation process.

[0072] In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the current compensation amount is equal to the temperature compensation value and when the fan operating gear of the indoor unit does not change, the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor is summed with the temperature compensation value to determine the display temperature value of the temperature display.

[0073] As an example, when it is determined that the compensation amount is equal to the temperature compensation value, it can be characterized that the gradual compensation process has been completed. At this time, the detected real-time temperature value can be directly added to the temperature compensation value to determine the displayed temperature value. That is, when the fan operating gear of the indoor unit does not change, in the subsequent process of determining the displayed temperature value of the temperature display, it is only necessary to add the temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor to the temperature compensation value. Correspondingly, if the fan operating gear of the indoor unit changes, the temperature compensation value can be appropriately adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, when the fan operating gear increases, the temperature compensation value can be increased accordingly, and when the fan operating gear decreases, the temperature compensation value can be appropriately reduced.

[0074] In some embodiments, S11 (determining the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor of the air conditioner and the indoor unit) may specifically include:

[0075] In response to detecting the first duration of operation of the indoor unit's fan, the temperature difference between the temperature values ​​detected by the external temperature sensor is determined; and based on the indoor unit's fan operation gear and the temperature difference, the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit can be determined.

[0076] Here, the first duration is within a preset duration range. Of course, the preset duration range can be limited according to actual conditions, for example, it can be 3-5 minutes.

[0077] It should be understood that when the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit are in different relative positional relationships, the temperature difference detected by the external temperature sensor may be different. For example, when the external temperature sensor is located in the air supply direction of the indoor unit, the temperature change rate in the air supply direction is faster, so the temperature difference detected by the external temperature sensor during the first period is larger. Correspondingly, if the external temperature sensor is not located in the air supply direction of the indoor unit and is far away from the indoor unit, the temperature change rate at the installation position of the external temperature sensor may be slower. Accordingly, after the external temperature sensor has been running for the first period, the temperature difference detected is smaller.

[0078] As an example, when the fan operation time of the indoor unit is within a preset time range, the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit can be determined based on the temperature difference detected by the external temperature sensor. This method, since there is no need to fix the specific operation time of the indoor unit, makes it more convenient to determine the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit.

[0079] It can be seen that the present invention can more accurately determine the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit through the fan operating position and temperature difference of the indoor unit; moreover, in the process of determining the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit, there is no need to add additional equipment, thereby saving the manufacturing cost of the air conditioner.

[0080] In some embodiments, determining the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit based on the fan operating gear and temperature difference of the indoor unit may specifically include:

[0081] The position relationship corresponding information is obtained, and based on the fan operation gear and the temperature difference range in which the temperature difference lies, the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit is determined from the position relationship corresponding information.

[0082] Here, the position relationship corresponding information includes: the corresponding relationship between the relative position relationship and the operating gear and the temperature difference range.

[0083] As an example, pre-establishing position relationship corresponding information can more conveniently and efficiently determine the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit.

[0084] For ease of understanding, you can combine Figure 2A-2B and Figure 4 To explain, Figure 4 It can be understood as a schematic diagram of possible position relationship corresponding information. Figure 4 As shown, the corresponding relationship between the relative position relationship and the operating gear and temperature difference range can be clearly determined. Figure 4 The relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit can be determined efficiently, so that the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature detector can be corrected. Accordingly, the ambient temperature value can be determined more accurately, thereby achieving more precise adjustment of the air conditioner.

[0085] In some embodiments, the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit includes at least one of the following:

[0086] The external temperature sensor is located on the same wall as the indoor unit;

[0087] The external temperature sensor is located on the wall adjacent to the wall where the indoor unit is located;

[0088] The external temperature sensor is located on the wall opposite to the wall where the indoor unit is located.

[0089] In order to facilitate the understanding of the idea of ​​this application, Figure 3-Figure 4 An example of a possible air conditioning control method disclosed in the present invention is to determine the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit according to the temperature difference of the external temperature detector and the operating gear after the first time period (for example, the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit can be determined by using Figure 4 Then, after determining the relative position relationship between the external temperature sensor and the indoor unit, the real-time temperature value detected by the external temperature sensor can be corrected based on the relative position relationship and the operating gear. In this way, the indoor temperature value can be determined more accurately. After determining a more accurate indoor temperature value, a more accurate adjustment of the air-conditioning operating parameters can be achieved (for example, whether to perform frequency conversion adjustment, whether to suspend operation, etc.).
