Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular, to an air conditioner control method, device, air conditioner, storage medium and electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioning systems play a crucial role in modern home and office environments, providing people with comfortable temperature regulation. However, for air conditioning equipment installed close to curtains or other soft decorations, a common challenge is how to prevent these items from being sucked into the air intake of the air conditioner. This situation especially occurs when the air conditioner is running, and the generated air flow will form a negative pressure area near the air intake, attracting the light and easily movable curtains to float inward, and then partially or completely covering the air intake, resulting in a series of negative effects.

[0003] For example, when the curtain covers the air intake, it will significantly hinder air circulation and reduce the air intake volume. If the curtain is sucked into the air intake, the fan needs to overcome additional resistance to maintain operation, which will cause the motor operation sound to increase, and even cause the vibration of mechanical components, generating stall noise.

[0004] In the prior art, to solve the above problems, a special curtain blocker is added to the air conditioner, aiming to physically prevent the curtain from entering the air intake area. Although this method can prevent curtain suction to a certain extent, it has two defects: one is that it increases the cost of the air conditioner, especially for product lines that pursue extreme cost performance; the other is that it limits the design aesthetics of the air conditioner, and the convex structure of some curtain blockers may damage the overall beauty of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner control method, device, air conditioner, storage medium and electronic device to solve the problems in the prior art such as the obstruction of air circulation and the reduction of air intake volume due to the curtain covering the air intake of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0006] To achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner control method is provided, including:

[0007] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in the operation mode, monitor whether the air intake of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in a blocked state;

[0008] When the air intake is in a blocked state, reduce the rotation speed of the fan of the indoor unit of the air conditioner until the current passing through the fan reaches a preset current value, so that the foreign object at the air intake is separated from the air intake to make the air intake in a non-blocked state;

[0009] Control the fan to operate at the rotation speed corresponding to the preset current value, so that the air intake is maintained in a non-blocked state;

[0010] Among them, the blocked state means that at least part of the air inlet is covered by foreign objects, and the unblocked state means that the air inlet is not covered by foreign objects.

[0011] Further, the steps of monitoring whether the air inlet of the air conditioner indoor unit is in a blocked state include:

[0012] Obtain the real-time current of the fan;

[0013] Calculate the real-time current growth rate of the fan according to the real-time current, so as to determine whether the air inlet is in a blocked state according to the real-time current growth rate.

[0014] Further, the steps of determining whether the air inlet is in a blocked state according to the real-time current growth rate include:

[0015] When it is judged that the real-time current growth rate is greater than the first preset value, obtain the duration for which the real-time current growth rate is greater than the first preset value;

[0016] When the cumulative duration reaches the first preset duration, judge that the air inlet is in a blocked state;

[0017] When it is judged that the real-time current growth rate is less than or equal to the first preset value, judge that the air inlet is in an unblocked state.

[0018] Further, the steps of calculating the real-time current growth rate of the fan according to the real-time current include:

[0019] Obtain each sampling current value of the real-time current and the time point corresponding to each sampling current value;

[0020] Calculate the real-time current growth rate according to each sampling current value and the time point corresponding to each sampling current value.

[0021] Further, before the steps of monitoring whether the air inlet of the air conditioner indoor unit is in a blocked state, it also includes:

[0022] Obtain the first preset speed and the second preset speed of the fan;

[0023] When it is judged that the first preset speed is greater than the second preset speed, control the fan to operate at the second preset speed, otherwise, control the fan to operate at the first preset speed;

[0024] Among them, the first preset speed is the maximum speed set for the air conditioner indoor unit, and the second preset speed is the speed set when the user starts the air conditioner indoor unit to operate.

[0025] Further, the control method also includes: when it is judged that the air conditioner indoor unit switches from the operating mode to the non-operating mode, set the speed corresponding to the preset current value of the fan as the maximum speed of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0026] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an air conditioning control device, comprising:

[0027] A monitoring module, the monitoring module is configured to monitor whether the air inlet of the air conditioner indoor unit is in a blocked state when the air conditioner indoor unit is in an operating mode;

[0028] A first control module, the first control module is configured to reduce the speed of the fan of the air conditioner indoor unit when the air inlet is in a blocked state until the current passing through the fan reaches a preset current value, so that the foreign matter at the air inlet is separated from the air inlet so that the air inlet is in a non-blocked state;

[0029] The second control module is configured to control the fan to run at a speed corresponding to a preset current value so that the air inlet is maintained in a non-blocked state.

[0030] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, in which a computer program is stored, wherein the computer program is configured to execute the above-mentioned air conditioning control method when running.

[0031] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the air conditioning control method through the computer program.

[0032] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer program product is provided, including a computer program, and the above-mentioned air conditioning control method is implemented when the computer program is executed by a processor.

[0033] By applying the technical solution of the present invention, the ventilation condition of the air inlet can be judged by real-time monitoring the current changes of the fan. Because foreign matter blocking the air inlet will cause the fan to overcome additional resistance, the current will increase abnormally. When the air inlet is in a blocked state, the speed of the fan of the air-conditioning indoor unit needs to be reduced in time until the current passing through the fan reaches a preset current value. When the current of the fan reaches the preset current value, it indicates that the foreign matter on the air inlet has been successfully separated and the air inlet channel has been restored. This not only prevents the foreign matter from completely blocking the air inlet, but also ensures that the fan does not reduce its speed excessively and affect the air conditioning efficiency. In the subsequent operation of the air conditioner, it will continue to run at a speed corresponding to the preset current value. In this way, the air inlet can be prevented from being blocked again, thereby improving the stability of the air conditioning system and the user comfort.

[0034] In summary, the air-conditioning control method determines the blockage status of the air inlet by real-time monitoring of the current changes of the fan, and then adopts an effective fan speed adjustment strategy, which can not only immediately remove the blockage, but also prevent it from being blocked again in subsequent operation, thereby ensuring the efficient operation of the air-conditioning system and the user's safe use experience.

[0042] The embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioner control method, as Figure 2 shown, the air conditioner control method includes:

[0043] S1. When the air conditioner indoor unit is in the operating mode, monitor whether the air inlet of the air conditioner indoor unit is blocked;

[0044] Obtain the first preset speed and the second preset speed of the blower;

[0045] When it is determined that the first preset speed is greater than the second preset speed, control the blower to operate at the second preset speed, otherwise, control the blower to operate at the first preset speed;

[0046] Wherein, the first preset speed is the maximum speed set for the air conditioner indoor unit, and the second preset speed is the speed set when the user starts the operation of the air conditioner indoor unit;

[0047] Specifically, the step of monitoring whether the air inlet of the air conditioner indoor unit is blocked includes:

[0048] Obtain the real-time current of the blower;

[0049] Calculate the real-time current growth rate of the blower according to the real-time current, so as to determine whether the air inlet is blocked according to the real-time current growth rate;

[0050] Among them, the steps of determining whether the air inlet is in a blocked state according to the real-time current growth rate include:

[0051] When it is determined that the real-time current growth rate is greater than the first preset value, obtain the duration for which the real-time current growth rate remains greater than the first preset value;

[0052] When the cumulative duration reaches the first preset duration, determine that the air inlet is in a blocked state;

[0053] When it is determined that the real-time current growth rate is less than or equal to the first preset value, determine that the air inlet is in an unblocked state;

[0054] The steps of calculating the real-time current growth rate of the fan according to the real-time current include:

[0055] Obtain each sampled current value of the real-time current and the time point corresponding to each sampled current value;

[0056] Calculate the real-time current growth rate according to each sampled current value and the time point corresponding to each sampled current value.

[0057] Specifically, by monitoring the current change of the fan in real time, it is possible to timely detect the situation where the air inlet is blocked or obstructed, and avoid problems such as reduced air volume, increased noise, and energy waste caused by the obstruction of the air inlet.

[0058] When the air conditioner indoor unit is running, the current of the fan will increase as the air volume increases, but this increase is gradual. If the air inlet is suddenly blocked (such as being adsorbed by a curtain), the motor will instantaneously increase the power to maintain the rotational speed, resulting in an abnormal increase in the current. Therefore, by monitoring the real-time change of the current, it is possible to identify the abnormal increase in the current growth rate, and then infer that the air inlet may be blocked.

[0059] The first preset rotational speed, as the preset maximum rotational speed, aims to ensure the maximum air volume output of the air conditioning system under unobstructed conditions; the second preset rotational speed comes from the setting when the user starts the air conditioner, reflecting the user's current wind speed requirement. By comparing these two rotational speeds, the most suitable wind speed for the operation of the air conditioning system can be determined to balance efficiency and user experience.

[0060] When the first preset rotational speed (maximum wind speed) is greater than the second preset rotational speed (user's current wind speed requirement), control the fan to run at the lower rotational speed set by the user, which can avoid the situation where the obstructing object is adsorbed and blocks the air inlet due to excessive wind speed when there is an obstructing object (such as a curtain) at the air inlet, and at the same time, can give the customer a better experience. On the contrary, if the rotational speed required by the user is higher than the maximum wind speed, the air conditioning system will limit the fan to the maximum rotational speed to avoid failures during the operation of the air conditioner.

[0061] By collecting the current values at multiple time points and combining them with the corresponding time points, the rate of change of current over time, i.e., the real-time current growth rate, can be calculated. Under normal circumstances, the current growth rate is stable. Once the air inlet is blocked, the current will increase abnormally in a short period of time, resulting in a significant increase in the current growth rate. Therefore, by calculating and analyzing the real-time current growth rate, the blockage state can be effectively identified to avoid misjudgment or missed judgment.

[0062] Set a first preset value as the threshold of the current growth rate. When the current growth rate exceeds this threshold and lasts for a certain period of time (the first preset duration is 2S in this embodiment), it can be determined that the air inlet is in a blocked state. The instantaneous increase in the current growth rate may be caused by the initial start-up of the air conditioner or other short-term interferences, and it is not necessarily a blocked state; only when the current growth rate remains in an abnormal range for a period of time can it be confirmed that it is caused by the air inlet being blocked or covered. By setting the first preset duration, short-term interferences can be filtered out to ensure the accuracy of the judgment of the blocked state.

[0063] S2. When the air inlet is in a blocked state, reduce the speed of the fan of the indoor unit of the air conditioner until the current passing through the fan reaches a preset current value, so that the foreign object at the air inlet is separated from the air inlet to make the air inlet in a non-blocked state; wherein, the blocked state means that at least part of the air inlet is covered by a foreign object, the non-blocked state means that the air inlet has no foreign object covering, and the preset current value is the maximum current passing through the fan when the air inlet is in a non-blocked state.

[0064] Specifically, when it is determined that the air inlet is in a blocked state, a foreign object (such as a curtain) covers the air inlet, resulting in blocked air intake. The motor needs to increase power to maintain the speed, causing the current to increase abnormally. At this time, reducing the fan speed reduces the air volume and the suction force on the air inlet, thereby weakening the force of the foreign object being adsorbed. As the speed decreases, the motor current will gradually decrease until the current reaches the preset current value. At this time, the foreign object is separated from the air inlet, and the normal ventilation condition of the air inlet is restored. The preset current value is based on the maximum current of the fan under normal ventilation conditions, which represents the efficient operation state of the fan without foreign object interference. By adjusting the current of the fan to the preset current value, it can be ensured that the fan will no longer have an abnormal increase in current due to foreign object adsorption, while maintaining sufficient air volume, ensuring that the load of the fan always remains at a safe level, and being able to avoid the situation of insufficient air volume caused by too low fan speed or motor overload caused by improper adjustment of the fan speed, ensuring the stable operation of the air conditioning system and the safe use of users. Once the current reaches the preset current value, it indicates that the foreign object has been separated from the air inlet, and the air inlet has returned to a non-blocked state. At this time, the air conditioning system can operate at the normal maximum speed without additional current monitoring or speed adjustment, ensuring the high efficiency and stability of the air conditioner in subsequent operation.

[0065] S3. Control the fan to run at a speed corresponding to a preset current value so that the air inlet is maintained in a non-blocked state.

[0066] Specifically, by controlling the fan to run at a speed that matches the preset current value, when the risk of blockage at the air inlet is detected (such as curtain adsorption), the system can instantly adjust the fan speed and reduce the suction force, thereby preventing foreign objects from further blocking the air inlet and ensuring normal ventilation of the air-conditioning system.

[0067] The preset current value is based on the normal maximum current of the fan when the air inlet is unobstructed, ensuring that the fan operates at a safe and efficient working point when the blockage state is released, avoiding overload or insufficient air volume, and maintaining the performance stability of the air-conditioning system and user comfort.

[0068] When the air inlet is blocked by foreign objects, the fan needs to increase its speed and power to overcome the additional resistance, causing an abnormal increase in current. By monitoring the current change trend, once it is identified that the current growth rate exceeds the normal range, it can be inferred that the air inlet may be blocked. The fan speed is reduced to a level corresponding to the preset current value, thereby weakening the suction of the air inlet and causing foreign objects (such as curtains) to separate from the air inlet.

[0069] When it is determined that the air conditioner indoor unit is switched from the operating mode to the non-operating mode, the speed corresponding to the fan being at the preset current value is set as the maximum speed of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0070] When the air conditioner switches from the running state to the non-running state (such as shutting down), the air conditioning system automatically saves the current maximum speed as the new first preset speed, ensuring that when it is turned on next time, the air conditioner can automatically adjust to a more suitable maximum speed based on the memory of the last blockage situation, preventing blockage again and improving the user experience.

[0071] When the air conditioner is operating normally, if the air inlet is ever blocked by foreign matter, the air conditioning system solves the blockage problem by adjusting the speed to a level corresponding to the preset current value.

[0072] When the air conditioner is turned off or enters non-operating mode, the air conditioning system records the fan speed when the blockage problem is solved as the new maximum speed setting (the speed corresponding to the fan at the preset current value). The next time the air conditioner is started, the air conditioning system automatically runs at the recorded maximum speed, which has been proven to avoid blockage by certain foreign objects (such as curtains), thereby providing the best ventilation state at the moment of startup and avoiding the possibility of blockage again. This dynamic update mechanism of the setting enables the air conditioning system to self-adjust according to different environments and usage conditions, improving operating efficiency and user satisfaction.

[0073] Example 1

[0074] During the specific usage process, when the air conditioner is turned on, the user will set the wind speed of the air conditioner according to actual needs, that is, the second preset rotation speed of the fan. At this time, it is necessary to judge the magnitude relationship between the second preset rotation speed and the first preset rotation speed. Among them, the first preset rotation speed is the maximum rotation speed preset by the air conditioner system. When the first preset rotation speed is greater than the second preset rotation speed, the rotation speed of the fan of the air conditioner is adjusted to the second preset rotation speed to meet the user's needs. When the first preset rotation speed is less than the second preset rotation speed, the rotation speed of the fan of the air conditioner will be adjusted to the first preset rotation speed to avoid faults during the operation of the fan of the air conditioner at a speed greater than the first preset rotation speed. Then, it is necessary to monitor the real-time current of the fan of the indoor unit of the air conditioner in real time, and based on the sampled current value at each time point and the corresponding time point, calculate the real-time current growth rate according to the sampled current value and the corresponding time point. In this application, the real-time current growth rate is a proportional function. Under normal circumstances, connecting all the real-time current growth rate values is approximately a straight line. However, if the air inlet is blocked during the operation of the air conditioner, the straight line formed by this proportional function will be distorted. That is, when the air conditioner starts to work, the real-time current growth rate increases at a slow speed. If the real-time current growth rate suddenly surges and the duration maintained under the surge condition is the first preset duration, it can be judged at this time that the air inlet is in a blocked state. Then, the rotation speed of the fan is reduced until the current passing through the fan reaches the preset current value, so that the foreign object at the air inlet is separated from the air inlet, so that the air inlet is in an unblocked state and maintains the unblocked state. At the same time, when the air conditioner is adjusted from the working state to the non-working state, the rotation speed of the fan corresponding to the preset current value is set as the maximum rotation speed, that is, set as the new first preset rotation speed, so as to ensure that when the air conditioner is started next time, it runs directly at the rotation speed specified by the customer or directly at the first preset operation, thus avoiding adjusting the rotation speed of the fan every time it is turned on.
