[0045] Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 3 shown, in the specific embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner includes a refrigeration system for exchanging heat with indoor air to meet the refrigeration or heating requirements.

[0046] Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner refrigeration system according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown. In the specific embodiment of the present invention, the refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, an electronic expansion valve, and an evaporator. In the specific embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner uses a compressor, a condenser, an electronic expansion valve, and an evaporator to perform the refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes, involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, and supplies refrigerant to the air that has been conditioned and heat-exchanged.

[0047] The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas in a high-temperature and high-pressure state and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0048] The electronic expansion valve expands the liquid-phase refrigerant in a high-temperature and high-pressure state condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the electronic expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to the compressor.

[0049] The evaporator can achieve a refrigeration effect by using the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant to perform heat exchange with the material to be cooled. Throughout the cycle, the air conditioner can adjust the temperature of the indoor space.

[0050] The outdoor unit 2 of the air conditioner refers to the part of the refrigeration cycle including the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger. The indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner includes an indoor heat exchanger, and the electronic expansion valve can be provided in the indoor unit 1 or the outdoor unit 2.

[0051] The indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger are used as condensers or evaporators. When the indoor heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the air conditioner serves as a heater in the heating mode. When the indoor heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the air conditioner serves as a cooler in the cooling mode.

[0052] The air conditioner in the specific embodiment of the present invention includes an indoor unit 1 and an outdoor unit 2. The indoor unit 1 and the outdoor unit 2 can be set as an integrated machine or a split machine. The indoor unit 1 can be set as a wall-mounted type, a ceiling type, a duct type, etc., and the indoor unit 1 is installed on the top or ceiling of the indoor room.

[0053] Referring to Figure 3 , taking the indoor wall-mounted unit as an example, the indoor wall-mounted unit is usually installed at positions such as the indoor wall surface. Again, for example, the indoor cabinet unit (not shown in the figure) is also a form of the indoor unit 1.

[0054] Taking the split machine as an example, the air conditioner includes an indoor unit 1 and an outdoor unit 2. Among them, the outdoor unit 2 is usually set outdoors for heat exchange with the indoor environment.

[0055] In addition, as Figure 3As shown, the air conditioner is equipped with a controller to control the operation of various components inside the air conditioner, so that each component of the air conditioner operates to achieve various predetermined functions of the air conditioner. Among them, a control device 200 is also attached to the air conditioner. Exemplarily, the control device 200 is specifically set as a remote controller, which has the function of communicating with the controller using, for example, infrared rays or other communication methods. The remote controller is used for users to perform various controls on the air conditioner, realizing the interaction between the user and the air conditioner.

[0056] In the specific embodiment of the present invention, the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner is installed at the top or upper part of the room. Generally speaking, the installation height of the indoor unit 1 is higher than the user's activity area. The indoor unit 1 includes an air return opening and an air outlet communicating with the room. The indoor air passes through the air return opening into the indoor unit 1 and then flows back into the room through the air outlet.

[0057] In the refrigerant circulation circuit in the specific embodiment of the present invention, the refrigerant circulates in the circuit composed of a compressor, a condenser, an electronic expansion valve, and an evaporator. One of the condenser and the evaporator is an outdoor heat exchanger, and the other is an indoor heat exchanger. The indoor heat exchanger is used to exchange heat with the air inside the indoor unit 1, and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit 2 is used to exchange heat with the air inside the outdoor unit 2, so as to meet the cooling or heating requirements of the air conditioner.

[0058] The indoor unit 1 also includes an indoor fan, which is arranged near the air return opening or the air outlet of the indoor heat exchanger and is used to send the heat-exchanged air to the room. The indoor fan includes multiple gears and is used to change the air outlet speed of the air flow at the air outlet.

[0059] At the position of the air outlet, a swing plate is provided. By changing its relative rotation angle with the air outlet, the swing plate adjusts the outflow direction of the air flowing through the air outlet, thereby affecting the stratification of the air temperature in the room.

[0060] In the specific embodiment shown in the present invention, the air conditioner 10 also includes a controller, which is configured, for example, as the controller 71 described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0061] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the air swing of the indoor hanging unit provided by a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram of the air swing (in the up and down direction) of the indoor cabinet unit provided by a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of the air swing (in the up and down direction) of the indoor cabinet unit provided by a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 5 、 6As shown in Figures 7, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the wind deflectors of the indoor unit of a wall-mounted air conditioner, the wind deflectors of the indoor unit of a floor-standing air conditioner (swinging in the up and down direction), and the wind deflectors of the indoor unit of a floor-standing air conditioner (swinging in the left and right direction) are listed. The main purpose of the wind deflector is to adjust the angle of the air outlet of the air conditioner and change the direction of the wind. There are mainly two types: the wind deflector in the up and down direction and the wind deflector in the left and right direction. The swinging angle range of the wind deflector is approximately 0 to 110 degrees.

[0062] To facilitate the subsequent description of the specific principle of the music swinging mode of the air conditioner 10 provided in the embodiment of the present invention, it is necessary to first introduce music theory knowledge.

[0063] 1) Introduction to musical notation Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of musical notation provided in a specific embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 8 shown, as is well known, music is played according to musical scores. A musical score consists of a key signature, a time signature P, a tempo S, note numbers, note values SZ, pitch classes G (how many octaves higher or lower), etc. These are called the characteristic values of music.

[0064] Definition of musical key signature: It is to select and determine a key suitable for expressing the content or performance of different musical works according to the content of the musical works. The key is the pitch position of "do". For example: 1 = C, then playing the C note as "do" is called the C key. 1 = D means playing or singing the D note as "do", which is called the D key, and so on.

[0065] Definition of musical time signature: Usually represented by a fraction, the number on the numerator represents the number of beats per measure, and the number on the denominator represents what note is used as one beat. Figure 8 In the musical score shown in, the time signature P is 4 / 4, indicating that there are 4 beats per measure and the quarter note is used as one beat.

[0066] Definition of musical tempo S: It represents how many beats should be played in one minute. Figure 8 In the musical score shown in, 120 beats should be played in one minute.

[0067] Definition of note numbers: They represent the pitch in music, where 1 represents do, 2 represents re, 3 represents mi, 4 represents fa, 5 represents so, 6 represents la, and 7 represents si.

[0068] Definition of the duration SZ of musical notes: It represents the time occupied by each beat. If the number has no underline or extension line, it represents the duration of one beat; if there is one underline under the number, the duration is halved, that is, the duration of half a beat; if there are two underlines under the number, the duration is halved again, that is, the duration of a quarter of a beat; and so on; if there is an extension line after the musical note number, it represents the extension of the duration of the musical note. If there is one extension line after the number, the duration is increased by one beat, that is, the duration of 2 beats; if there are two extension lines after the number, the duration is increased by one more beat, that is, the duration of 3 beats; and so on.

[0069] Definition of the pitch class of music: It represents whether this musical note is a high pitch, a low pitch, or a middle pitch. When the musical note number has no dot above or below, it represents that the pitch class is the middle pitch, that is, the pitch in the octave where the key is set to 1 = C. If there is one dot under the number, it represents that the pitch class is one octave lower; if there are 2 dots, it represents that the pitch class is 2 octaves lower, and so on; conversely, if there is one dot above the number, it represents that the pitch class is one octave higher; if there are 2 dots, it represents that the pitch class is 2 octaves higher, and so on.

[0070] 2) Introduction to the relationship between the time signature and strong / weak beats: The musical time signature represents the rhythm of the music. The musical notes in each measure have the difference between strong and weak. Generally speaking, the position where the strong beat is located represents strong sound intensity, and the weak beat represents weak sound intensity. The strong beat generally represents the position of the drumbeat. Figure 9 It is a diagram showing the relationship between the time signature and strong / weak beats provided by a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 9 shown. In the specific embodiment of the present invention, the corresponding relationship is as follows: 2 / 4 time signature: The strong / weak relationship is that the first beat is strong and the second beat is weak; corresponding to the music "dong - ci".

[0071] 3 / 4 time signature: The strong / weak relationship is that the first beat is strong, the second beat is weak, and the third beat is weak; "dong - ci - ci".

[0072] 4 / 4 time signature: The strong / weak relationship is that the first beat is strong, the second beat is weak, the third beat is moderately strong, and the fourth beat is weak; corresponding to the music "dong - ci - da - ci".

[0073] 3 / 8 time signature: The strong / weak relationship is that the first beat is strong, the second beat is weak, and the third beat is weak; corresponding to the music "dong - ci - ci".

[0074] 6 / 8 time signature: The strong / weak relationship is that the first beat is strong, the second beat is weak, the third beat is weak, the fourth beat is moderately strong, the fifth beat is weak, and the sixth beat is weak; corresponding to the music "dong - ci - ci - da - ci - ci".

[0075] 3 / 4 time signature + 2 / 4 time signature: The strong / weak relationship is that the first beat is strong, the second beat is weak, the third beat is weak, the fourth beat is moderately strong, and the fifth beat is weak; corresponding to the music "dong - ci - ci - da - ci".

[0076] 2 / 4 beat + 3 / 4 beat: The strong-weak relationship is that the first beat is strong, the second beat is weak, the third beat is strong, the fourth beat is weak, and the fifth beat is weak; corresponding to the music: dong - ci - da - ci - ci. There are also some pieces of music that do not satisfy Figure 9 the strong-weak relationship, such as backbeat processing, texture strong beats, harmonic strong beats, dissonant strong beats, style strong beats (music types such as jazz and blues). Then, the adjustment of strong beats and weak beats needs to be made according to the actual music.

[0077] Combined with the above music theory knowledge, the specific principle of the music swing mode of the air conditioner 10 provided in the embodiments of the present invention will be explained below.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the swing angle of the air deflector 13 based on the beats of the target music, the controller 71 is configured to: obtain a first target swing angle corresponding to the beats of the target music based on a preset mapping table of beats and swing angles, where the mapping table of beats and swing angles includes the corresponding mapping relationships between different beats and swing angles; control the air deflector 13 to perform reciprocating swings in a sweeping manner according to the first target swing angle.

[0079] In a specific embodiment, the mapping table of beats and swing angles includes the corresponding mapping relationships between different beats and swing angles. By comparing the mapping table of beats and swing angles, the controller 71 can obtain the first target swing angle corresponding to the beats of the target music. Specifically, the mapping table of beats and swing angles can be preset by the operator and stored in the controller 71 for easy calling by the controller 71.

[0080] Specifically, according to the air conditioner 10 provided in the embodiments of the present invention, when the controller 71 receives a first control instruction for instructing the air conditioner 10 to enter the music swing mode, it first controls the playback device 14 to operate and play the target music, and then controls the air conditioner 10 to enter the music swing mode. When the music swing mode is a sweeping swing, the controller 71 first obtains a first target swing angle corresponding to the beats of the target music based on a preset mapping table of beats and swing angles, and then controls the air deflector 13 to perform reciprocating swings according to the first target swing angle to achieve the effect of a sweeping swing, so that the air deflector 13 of the air conditioner 10 can perform a sweeping swing according to the beats of the music, thereby improving the entertainment of the air conditioner 10.

[0081] Figure 10 It is a schematic diagram of the sweeping swing of the air deflector according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 10As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, for the swing plate 13 in the up and down direction, it first swings from top to bottom, one beat at a time, and the angle of each beat is SwingAng_step. If the next swing position exceeds the maximum swing position at the bottom, it returns and swings upward; if the next swing position exceeds the maximum position at the top, it swings downward instead. This process repeats in a cycle. It can also start swinging from bottom to top first.

[0082] For the swing plate 13 in the left and right direction, it starts swinging from left to right, one beat at a time, and the angle of each beat is SwingAng_step. If the next swing position exceeds the maximum swing position on the right, it returns and swings to the left; if the next swing position exceeds the maximum position on the left, it swings to the right instead. This process repeats in a cycle. It can also start swinging from right to left first.

[0083] In this way, by swinging in sequence according to the beats, it can not only respond to the rhythm of the music but also reduce the risk of the drive motor of the swing plate 13 losing steps.

[0084] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, SwingAng_step is defaulted to 10°, and it can also be set through a remote control, a wired controller, an APP, etc.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present invention, the beats include strong beats and weak beats. When controlling the swing angle of the swing plate 13 based on the beats of the target music, the controller 71 is further configured to: control the swing plate 13 to perform a reciprocating swing in a sweeping manner according to the strong beats and weak beats; or, control the swing plate 13 to perform a reciprocating swing in a sweeping manner according to the strong beats and not according to the weak beats; or, control the swing plate 13 to perform a reciprocating swing in a sweeping manner according to the weak beats and not according to the strong beats.

[0086] Specifically, for the air conditioner 10 provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the controller 71 controls the air conditioner 10 to enter the music swing mode and the music swing mode is a sweeping swing, the controller 71 can control the swing plate 13 to perform a sweeping swing according to the strong beats and weak beats, and can also control the swing plate 13 to perform a sweeping swing according to the strong beats and not according to the weak beats, and can further control the swing plate 13 to perform a sweeping swing according to the weak beats and not according to the strong beats. Thus, not only can the swing plate 13 of the air conditioner 10 perform a sweeping swing according to the beats of the music, but also the form of the sweeping swing can be enriched, thereby further improving the entertainment of the air conditioner 10.

[0087] Figure 11 It is a schematic diagram of the swing of the swing plate according to each beat in a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 12Schematic diagram of the swing of the air-sweeping plate according to a specific embodiment of the present invention in strong and weak beats. As Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, when swinging in an air-sweeping manner, a strong and weak beat swinging mode can be set simultaneously. It can be set to swing only in strong beats, or swing in strong beats and sub-strong beats, or swing in sub-strong beats and weak beats, or swing only in weak beats, which can help people capture the main rhythm of the music.

[0088] If it swings only in strong beats: the air-sweeping plate swings once in strong beats and does not swing in weak beats.

[0089] If it swings only in strong beats and sub-strong beats: the air-sweeping plate swings once in strong beats and sub-strong beats and does not swing in weak beats.

[0090] If it swings only in sub-strong beats and weak beats: the air-sweeping plate swings once in sub-strong beats and weak beats and does not swing in strong beats.

[0091] If it swings only in weak beats: the air-sweeping plate swings once in weak beats and does not swing in strong beats and sub-strong beats.

[0092] There are also some pieces of music that do not satisfy Figure 9 the strong and weak relationships, such as backbeat processing, texture strong beats, harmony strong beats, dissonant strong beats, style strong beats (music types such as jazz and blues), then the strong beats and weak beats need to be adjusted according to the actual music.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the swing angle of the air-sweeping plate 13 based on the beats of the target music, the controller 71 is further configured to: control the air-sweeping plate 13 to perform a reciprocating swing in an air-sweeping manner every first preset number of beats.

[0094] In a specific embodiment, the first preset number is, for example, 3 beats. That is, when controlling the air-sweeping plate 13 to perform an air-sweeping swing, the controller 71 can control the air-sweeping plate 13 to perform an air-sweeping swing every 3 beats, that is, a skip beat swing. Specifically, the first preset number can be preset by the operator and stored in the controller 71 for the controller 71 to call.

[0095] Specifically, for the air conditioner 10 provided according to the embodiments of the present invention, when the controller 71 controls the air conditioner 10 to enter the music swing mode and the music swing mode is the sweeping swing mode, the controller 71 can further control the air deflector 13 to perform a sweeping swing every first preset number of beats, that is, a skipping swing, so as to avoid the problem that the air deflector 13 cannot move to the specified position due to the fast music tempo, resulting in a position deviation, thereby improving the compatibility between the air deflector 13 and the music. Thus, not only can the air deflector 13 of the air conditioner 10 perform a sweeping swing according to the beats of the music, but also the form of the sweeping swing can be enriched, thereby further improving the entertainment of the air conditioner 10.

[0096] Figure 13 It is a schematic diagram of the skipping swing of the air deflector according to each beat in a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 14 It is a schematic diagram of the skipping swing of the air deflector according to the strong and weak beats in a specific embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, during the sweeping swing, the skipping swing mode can be set at the same time. For the sweeping swing mode and the pointer swing mode, when the music tempo is fast, the air deflector 13 cannot move to the specified position within each beat time, resulting in a position deviation. As the beats continue to play, the deviation will accumulate and become larger and larger. Therefore, the air deflector 13 swings only once every few beats to reduce the position deviation.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the swing angle of the air deflector 13 based on the notes of the target music, the controller 71 is configured to: obtain a second target swing angle corresponding to the notes of the target music based on a preset mapping relationship table between notes and swing angles, where the mapping relationship table between notes and swing angles includes the corresponding mapping relationships between different notes and swing angles; control the air deflector 13 to perform a pointer swing according to the second target swing angle.

[0098] In a specific embodiment, the mapping relationship table between notes and swing angles includes the corresponding mapping relationships between different notes and swing angles. By comparing the mapping relationship table between notes and swing angles, the controller 71 can obtain the second target swing angle corresponding to the notes of the target music. Specifically, the mapping relationship table between notes and swing angles can be preset by the operator and stored in the controller 71 for easy call by the controller 71.

[0099] Specifically, for the air conditioner 10 provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the controller 71 receives a first control instruction for instructing the air conditioner 10 to enter the music swing mode, it first controls the playback device 14 to operate and play the target music, and then controls the air conditioner 10 to enter the music swing mode. When the music swing mode is a pointer swing, the controller 71 first obtains a second target swing angle corresponding to the notes of the target music based on a preset mapping table of notes and swing angles, and then controls the air deflector 13 to swing according to the second target swing angle, achieving the effect of pointer swing. Thus, the air deflector 13 of the air conditioner 10 can perform pointer swing according to the notes of the music, thereby improving the entertainment of the air conditioner 10.

[0100] Figure 15 It is a schematic diagram of the pointer swing of the air deflector according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 15 shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, corresponding fixed angles are planned according to do, re, mi, fa, so, la, si, and the number of steps PointerAng_step between each pitch is equal. For example, when the interval step PointerAng_step is 10 degrees, do corresponds to 0 degrees, re corresponds to 10 degrees, mi corresponds to 20 degrees, fa corresponds to 30 degrees, so corresponds to 40 degrees, la corresponds to 50 degrees, and si corresponds to 60 degrees. When the note is played to a certain note, the air deflector 13 swings to the angle corresponding to that note. Different notes correspond to different positions, making the expression of the music clearer.

[0101] When the pitch in the numbered musical notation is lower than do, such as a note in the lower octave, the air deflector 13 swings to the position of do; when the pitch in the numbered musical notation is higher than si, such as a note in the higher octave, the air deflector 13 swings to the position of si.

[0102] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, PointerAng_step is defaulted to 10°, and it can also be set through a remote control, a wired controller, an APP, etc.

[0103] In an embodiment of the present invention, the notes include strong notes and weak notes. When controlling the swing angle of the air deflector 13 based on the notes of the target music, the controller 71 is further configured to: control the air deflector 13 to perform pointer swing according to strong notes and weak notes; or, control the air deflector 13 to perform pointer swing according to strong notes and not according to weak notes; or, control the air deflector 13 to perform pointer swing according to weak notes and not according to strong notes.

[0104] Specifically, for the air conditioner 10 provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the controller 71 controls the air conditioner 10 to enter the music swing mode and the music swing mode is a pointer swing, the controller 71 can control the air deflector 13 to perform a pointer swing according to strong notes and weak notes, and can also control the air deflector 13 to perform a pointer swing according to strong notes and not perform a pointer swing according to weak notes. The controller 71 can also control the air deflector 13 to perform a pointer swing according to weak notes and not perform a pointer swing according to strong notes. Therefore, not only can the air deflector 13 of the air conditioner 10 perform a pointer swing according to the notes of the music, but also the form of the pointer swing can be enriched, thereby further improving the entertainment of the air conditioner 10.

[0105] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the principle of swinging according to strong notes and weak notes during pointer swinging is similar to the principle of swinging according to strong beats and weak beats during air deflector swinging in the above specific embodiment of the present invention, and reference can be made to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , as well as the description of the above specific embodiment of the present invention, which will not be elaborated here.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the swing angle of the air deflector 13 based on the notes of the target music, the controller 71 is further configured to: control the air deflector 13 to perform a pointer swing every second preset number of notes.

[0107] In a specific embodiment, the second preset number is, for example, 3 notes. That is, when controlling the air deflector 13 to perform a pointer swing, the controller 71 can control the air deflector 13 to perform a pointer swing every 3 notes, that is, a skip beat swing. Specifically, the second preset number can be preset by the operator and stored in the controller 71 for easy call by the controller 71.

[0108] Specifically, for the air conditioner 10 provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the controller 71 controls the air conditioner 10 to enter the music swing mode and the music swing mode is a pointer swing, the controller 71 can also control the air deflector 13 to perform a pointer swing every second preset number of notes, that is, a skip beat swing, so as to avoid the problem that the air deflector 13 cannot move to the specified position due to the fast tempo of the music row beat, resulting in a position deviation, thereby improving the fit between the air deflector 13 and the music. Therefore, not only can the air deflector 13 of the air conditioner 10 perform a pointer swing according to the notes of the music, but also the form of the pointer swing can be enriched, thereby further improving the entertainment of the air conditioner 10.

[0109] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the principle of performing a skip beat swing during pointer swinging is similar to the principle of performing a skip beat swing during air deflector swinging in the above specific embodiment of the present invention, and reference can be made to Figure 13 andFigure 14 , and the discussion of the above specific embodiments of the present invention will not be repeated here.

[0110] In an embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the swing angle of the air-sweeping plate 13 based on the beat of the target music and / or controlling the swing angle of the air-sweeping plate 13 based on the notes of the target music, the controller 71 is further configured to: control the air-sweeping plate 13 to perform reciprocating swing in the form of air-sweeping or pointer-like swing according to the time points corresponding to different notes of the target music; wherein, the time point corresponding to the first note is = 0; the time point corresponding to the Nth note is = + 60 / S , where N > 1, S is the row beat speed of the target music, is the time point corresponding to the (N - 1)th note, is the time value occupied by the (N - 1)th note.

[0111] In a specific embodiment, the starting time point Tact of the swing of the air-sweeping plate 13 is determined by the time signature P, the traveling speed S of the beat, the time value Z of the note, and the note number N.

[0112] Among them, the note number refers to the position of the note number in the numbered musical notation and belongs to the number of the note. For example Figure 8 As shown in the numbered musical notation, the first note is 3 (mi), the second note is 4 (fa), the third note is (so), the 4th note is the extension line "-", so their note numbers N are 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively.

[0113] The calculation formula for the starting time point Tact of the swing of the air-sweeping plate 13 is as follows: The starting time point of the swing of the air-sweeping plate 13 for the first note is = 0; unit: second.

[0114] The starting time point of the swing of the air-sweeping plate 13 for the Nth note is = + 60 / S ; where S is the row beat speed of the music, is the starting time point of the swing of the air-sweeping plate 13 for the (N - 1)th note, is the time value occupied by the (N - 1)th note (several beats).

[0115] For example Figure 8 As shown in the numbered musical notation, taking the third note (so) as an example, the time point = + 60 / S = + 60 / S + 60 / S = 0 + 60 / 120 1 +60 / 120 1 = 1 second. At this time, S is the row shooting speed of 120, is the duration of the first note 3 (mi), which is 1 beat; is the duration of the second note 4 (fa), which is 1 beat.

[0116] During the sweeping wind type swing and the pointer type swing, when the note is the extension line "-" and the rest "0", the sweeping board of this note does not perform the action, and it can stay at the position of the sweeping board of the previous note.

[0117] In a specific embodiment, for the strong beat or weak beat swing, the calculation formula of the time point Tact when the sweeping board 13 starts to swing is the same as the swing mode of each beat. An additional strong / weak beat swing enable bit ForceWeak_en is added, and the swing is performed only when ForceWeak_en is 1.

[0118] Taking the example of only the sweeping board 13 swinging at the strong beat, when reaching the time point of the swing, it is simultaneously judged whether this note belongs to the strong beat. If so, ForceWeak_en is assigned 1, otherwise it is assigned 0. As Figure 8 shown in the numbered musical notation, the first note is 3 (mi), the second note is 4 (fa), the third note is (so), the 4th note is the extension line "-", and the time signature is 4 / 4. Its strong / weak beat rule and the sweeping board swing rule when only the strong beat is turned on are as Figure 12 shown.

[0119] In a specific embodiment, for the skip beat swing, when in the swing mode of each beat, the skip beat swing is simultaneously turned on. For example, the sweeping board 13 swings only once every 2 beats. The result is as Figure 13 shown.

[0120] The calculation formula of the time point Tact when the sweeping board 13 starts to swing is the same as the swing mode of each beat. An additional sweeping board 13 swing enable bit Swing_en is added, and the swing is performed only when Swing_en is 1. The specific logic is as follows: If N = 1, then set Swing_en = 1 and i = 0; where N is the serial number of the note and i is the counting variable.

[0121] When N > 1, determine whether i is equal to Pskip. If they are equal, then Swing_en = 1 and i = 0. Otherwise, i = i + 1.

[0122] When reaching the time point when the air deflector 13 starts to swing and Swing_en is equal to 1, the air deflector 13 will swing.

[0123] Set Pskip in the default case according to the row beat speed: when the row beat speed is less than 80 beats per minute, Pskip = 0; when the row beat speed is 80 - 160 beats per minute (including 80 beats per minute and 160 beats per minute), Pskip = 1; when the row beat speed is greater than 160 beats per minute, Pskip = 3.

[0124] In a specific embodiment, for the skip beat swing, when in the strong - weak beat swing mode, the skip beat swing is enabled simultaneously. For example, the air deflector 13 swings only once every 2 beats. The results are as Figure 14 shown. Two cases are listed here: 1. The skip beat number Pskip of the skip beat swing = 2, and the strong - weak beat swing selects only the strong beat swing.

[0125] 2. The skip beat number Pskip of the skip beat swing = 2, and the strong - weak beat swing selects the strong beat and the sub - strong beat swing.

[0126] For other cases, and so on.

[0127] In a specific embodiment, for the skip beat swing, the skip beat number Pskip can be set through a remote control, a wire controller, an APP, etc. When Pskip = 0, it becomes the corresponding swing mode for each beat.

[0128] Specifically, according to the air conditioner 10 provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when the controller 71 receives a first control instruction for instructing the air conditioner 10 to enter the music swing mode, it first controls the playback device 14 to operate and play the target music, and then controls the air conditioner 10 to enter the music swing mode. When the music swing mode is the air deflector swing or the pointer swing, the controller 71 controls the air deflector 13 to perform the air deflector swing or the pointer swing according to the time points corresponding to different notes of the target music, so as to ensure the fit between the air deflector swing or the pointer swing and the music, thereby improving the entertainment of the air conditioner 10.

[0129] In an embodiment of the present invention, when swinging the air deflector 13 based on the rhythm of the target music, the controller 71 is configured to: obtain a target swing speed corresponding to the rhythm of the target music based on a preset rhythm-swing speed mapping relationship table, where the rhythm-swing speed mapping relationship table includes the corresponding mapping relationships between different rhythms and swing speeds; control the air deflector 13 to perform a smooth reciprocating swing according to the target swing speed.

[0130] In a specific embodiment, the rhythm-swing speed mapping relationship table includes the corresponding mapping relationships between different rhythms and swing speeds. By comparing the rhythm-swing speed mapping relationship table, the controller 71 can obtain the target swing speed corresponding to the rhythm of the target music. Specifically, the rhythm-swing speed mapping relationship table can be preset by the operator and stored in the controller 71 for easy invocation by the controller 71.

[0131] Specifically, according to the air conditioner 10 provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when the controller 71 receives a first control instruction for instructing the air conditioner 10 to enter the music swing mode, it first controls the playback device 14 to operate and play the target music, and then controls the air conditioner 10 to enter the music swing mode. When the music swing mode is a smooth swing, the controller 71 first obtains the target swing speed corresponding to the rhythm of the target music based on the preset rhythm-swing speed mapping relationship table, and then controls the air deflector 13 to perform a reciprocating swing according to the target swing speed to achieve the effect of a smooth swing, so that the air deflector 13 of the air conditioner 10 can swing smoothly according to the rhythm of the music, thereby improving the entertainment of the air conditioner 10.

[0132] Figure 16 It is a schematic diagram of the smooth swing of the air deflector according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 16 shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the swing is performed in such a way that the swing angle is less than 2 degrees each time to achieve the purpose of smooth swing; moreover, it is not necessary to swing according to each beat, and it only needs to swing freely at a certain speed. At this time, the emotion of the song is experienced through the swing speed. The swing of lyrical music is slow, and the swing of rock music is fast.

[0133] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the swing angle is 1 degree each time. For the air deflector 13 in the up and down direction, first swing downward from top to bottom at a speed of SwingSpeed (unit: degrees / second). If the position of the next swing exceeds the maximum swing position below, it will swing back upward; if the next swing position exceeds the maximum position above, it will swing downward instead. Reciprocate in a cycle. It can also start swinging from bottom to top first.

[0134] For the left - right swing louver 13, it first swings to the right from left to right at a speed of SwingSpeed (unit: degrees / second). When the next swing position exceeds the maximum swing position on the right, it returns and swings to the left; when the next swing position exceeds the maximum position on the left, it swings to the right instead. This process repeats in a cycle. It can also start swinging from right to left first.

[0135] When the row shooting speed is less than 100 beats per minute, it swings at a speed of 5 degrees / second, with each swing angle less than 3 degrees.

[0136] When the row shooting speed is 100 - 150 beats per minute (including 100 beats per minute and 150 beats per minute), it swings at a speed of 15 degrees / second, with each swing angle less than 3 degrees.

[0137] When the row shooting speed is greater than 150 beats per minute, it swings at a speed of 25 degrees / second, with each swing angle less than 3 degrees.

[0138] In an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 71 is further configured to: receive a second control instruction for instructing the air conditioner 10 to enter the air - conditioning mode, where the air - conditioning action corresponding to the second control instruction includes fixing the swing direction of the louver 13; in response to the second control instruction, control the air conditioner 10 to exit the music swing mode.
