[0002] More and more users have the need for time-limited power outage. In time-limited power outage, it is necessary to limit the power consumption of household appliances (such as air conditioning devices). Currently, the market usually adopts the method of manually setting the operating parameters of household appliances to control the power consumption of air conditioning devices (such as air conditioners). This solution usually maintains a constant power within a certain period of time and cannot adaptively adjust the control parameters according to the environmental conditions. For example, in the early stage of starting the air conditioner, in order to adjust the environmental temperature to the set temperature, the power consumption is relatively high, and in the subsequent time, only the set temperature needs to be maintained, and the power consumption is relatively low. Therefore, the current power outage solution is prone to situations such as loose in the front and tight in the back or tight in the front and loose in the back, resulting in uneven distribution of power before and after within a certain period of time, and it is also prone to phenomena such as over-power consumption and under-power consumption, and the problem of low accuracy of power outage occurs.

[0045] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0046] Users in many countries have the need for time-limited power cuts, and it is necessary to limit the power consumption of household appliances (such as air conditioners). Currently, the method of manually setting the operating parameters of air conditioners is usually adopted in the market to control the power consumption of air conditioners. This scheme usually maintains a constant power for a period of time and cannot adaptively adjust the control parameters according to the environmental conditions. For example, in the early stage of starting the air conditioner, in order to adjust the ambient temperature to the set temperature, the power consumption is relatively high, and in the subsequent time, the set temperature is maintained and the power consumption is relatively low. Therefore, the current power cut scheme is prone to situations such as loose in the front and tight in the back or tight in the front and loose in the back, resulting in uneven distribution of electricity before and after for a period of time, and it is also prone to phenomena such as over-power consumption and under-power consumption, and the problem of low accuracy of power cut appears. Moreover, the air conditioner with constant power cannot adaptively follow the changes in the environment to switch the operating parameters, which not only brings excessive power consumption but also has low intelligence, bringing a poor user experience to users.

[0047] To overcome the above defects, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application proposes an energy consumption control method for an air conditioning device that can achieve accurate power cut.

[0048] Based on this, the present application proposes an energy consumption control method for an air conditioning device in the first embodiment. Please refer to Figure 1 , the energy consumption control method of the air conditioning device includes:

[0049] Step S10, generate a power control curve according to the energy consumption control requirement;

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, it should be noted that the energy consumption control requirement is a time-limited power cut requirement, including the power cut duration (for example, within 4 hours from the current time point) and the power consumption (for example, the power consumption is 1 degree within the power cut duration). And the power control curve further defines the power distribution at each time point within the time period of the energy consumption control requirement on the basis of the energy consumption control requirement. The power control curve can better fit the optimal power distribution in the specific use of the air conditioning device, and brings a relatively good user experience. More importantly, when the air conditioning device operates according to this power control curve, the power consumed within the power cut duration is equal to the power consumption corresponding to the energy consumption control requirement, avoiding over-power consumption and under-power consumption.

[0051] Step S20, determine the target control parameter of the power that meets the current operation cycle according to the power control curve;

[0052] After determining the power control curve, it is necessary to determine the control parameters corresponding to each time point of the air conditioning device according to the power conditions at each time point in the power control curve, so that when the air conditioning device operates according to the target control parameters, the corresponding power conforms to the power control curve, where the target control parameters at least include a combination of controllable operating parameters and uncontrollable operating parameters. In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the corresponding relationship between a plurality of preset combinations of controllable operating parameters and uncontrollable operating parameters and the operating power can be used to query the corresponding combination of controllable operating parameters and uncontrollable operating parameters according to the operating power.

[0053] Step S30, control the air conditioning device to operate according to the target control parameters.

[0054] After determining the target control parameters, the air conditioning device can be controlled to operate each functional component in the air conditioning device according to the target control parameters. It should be noted that within a certain period of time (power limit duration), the target control parameters will change to a certain extent, and thus the corresponding power will also change, specifically based on the power distribution in the power control curve.

[0055] Exemplarily, the controllable operating parameters in the target control parameters may include one or more of the indoor fan speed, outdoor fan speed, or compressor operating frequency, while the uncontrollable operating parameters in the target control parameters include but are not limited to parameters such as indoor and outdoor temperature, indoor and outdoor humidity, exhaust valve temperature, and set temperature.

[0056] Exemplarily, the air conditioning device is an air conditioner, and the air conditioner includes three parts: a power curve generation unit, a power prediction unit, and an execution unit. The power curve generation unit is used to generate a power control curve according to the energy consumption control requirements when the power limit function of the air conditioner is turned on. The power prediction unit is used to predict the generated operating power according to the parameter combination for finding the target control parameters based on the matching relationship between the operating power and the power control curve. The execution unit is used to control the operation of each component of the air conditioner according to the target control parameters.

[0057] The power control curve generated by the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application through the energy consumption control requirements can better reflect the power distribution of the air conditioning device during the power limit period. Then, according to the power distribution of the air conditioning device during the power limit period, the corresponding target control parameters are determined, so that when the air conditioning device operates according to the target control parameters, the operating power is consistent with the power control curve, realizing precise control and adjustment of the power of the air conditioning device, and further achieving precise limitation of the power consumption for each time period, improving the accuracy of the power limit scheme, thus solving the technical problem of low accuracy of the power limit scheme of the air conditioning device in the prior art, improving the intelligent level of the air conditioning device and enhancing the user experience.

[0058] In a possible implementation manner, the step of generating a power control curve according to the energy consumption control requirement may include:

[0059] Step S11, obtaining a reference power control curve;

[0060] In the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the reference power control curve is a pre-set optimal power control curve within the power limit duration. While ensuring a certain total power consumption, the power distribution ratio in each time period is relatively reasonable, which can bring a relatively comfortable user experience to the user. Moreover, when the power limit duration in the energy consumption control requirement is fixed, the reference power control curve is also fixed.

[0061] Step S12, calculating the difference between the average power value corresponding to the energy consumption control requirement and the average power value corresponding to the reference power control curve according to the energy consumption control requirement;

[0062] It should be noted that in the power control curve, it conforms to the formula ∑W(i)*T(i) = E, ∑T(i) = T, where T represents the power limit duration, E represents the total power consumption, W(i) represents the power in cycle i, and T(i) represents the duration of cycle i. Therefore, when the total power consumption and the power limit duration are determined, the average power corresponding to the energy consumption control requirement (i.e., the average demand power Wtarget) and the average power corresponding to the reference power control curve (i.e., the average standard power Wbase) can be obtained by calculating the ratio between the total power consumption and the power limit duration. The reference power control curve is as Figure 2 shown. The average reference power is shown by the dotted line. When the average reference power and the average demand power are determined, the difference between the average demand power value corresponding to the energy consumption control requirement and the average reference power value corresponding to the reference power control curve can be calculated.

[0063] Step S13, moving the reference power control curve according to the calculated difference to obtain the power control curve corresponding to the energy consumption control requirement.

[0064] It can be understood that, when the average reference power, the average demand power, and the difference between the two are determined, it is only necessary to translate the reference power control curve upward or downward by a certain number of units in the coordinate graph according to the difference, so as to make the average power corresponding to the translated reference power control curve consistent with the average demand power, thereby obtaining the power control curve corresponding to the energy consumption control requirement. Among them, if the difference is negative, it is translated downward; if the difference is positive, it is translated upward. The finally obtained power control curve is used to meet the requirements of the power limit duration and power consumption in the user's energy consumption control requirement by controlling the power change of the air conditioning equipment, and the power distribution ratio is also consistent with the distribution in the standard power curve, which can bring a relatively comfortable user experience.

[0065] Further, in a possible implementation manner, the step of obtaining the reference power control curve may further include:

[0066] Step S111, obtaining the real power consumption curve when other air conditioning equipment collected by the cloud platform operates;

[0067] It should be noted that the real power consumption curve is used to reflect the real power consumption situation of a large number of air conditioning equipment of the same model collected by the cloud platform corresponding to the air conditioning equipment, and can reflect the general power control situation of this model of air conditioning equipment during real operation. It can be used as a reference for power control during the power limit process of the air conditioning equipment. That is, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application actually specifically defines a way to obtain the reference power control curve on the basis of step S11.

[0068] In another feasible embodiment, the real power consumption curve generated during the historical use of this air conditioning equipment can be collected to replace the real power consumption curve when other air conditioning equipment operates.

[0069] Step S112, determining the reference power control curve according to the real power consumption curves corresponding to the air conditioning equipment.

[0070] After obtaining the real power consumption curves of multiple air conditioning equipment, that is, the power consumption of each air conditioning equipment corresponding to the real power consumption in each time period is averaged respectively to obtain the average power consumption of the air conditioning equipment in each time period, and then the points of each average power consumption are marked in the power consumption curve graph (the abscissa is time, and the ordinate is power consumption), and the points are connected by fitting to obtain the average power consumption curve of the air conditioning equipment. Then calculate the ratio between the average power consumption and the time period duration in each time period to obtain the average power in each period, and finally fit the points of each average power in the power curve graph (the abscissa is time, and the ordinate is power) to obtain the reference power control curve.

[0071] In a possible implementation manner, the step of generating a power control curve according to the energy consumption control requirement may include:

[0072] Step S16: Divide the time parameter in the energy consumption control requirement into multiple time periods;

[0073] It should be noted that the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is parallel to steps S11 to S13 and step S14, and essentially provides another method for generating a power control curve. The method of the power control curve in the embodiment of the present application is a method that allows users to customize the power distribution. First, the time parameter (equivalent to the power limit time period) in the energy consumption control requirement is divided into multiple time periods, which is convenient for users to determine the weight coefficient corresponding to each time period respectively and further determine the power distribution of each time period.

[0074] Exemplarily, if the power limit duration in the time parameter is 4 hours, each 30 minutes can be divided into a separate time period.

[0075] Step S17: Determine the power value corresponding to each time period according to the weight coefficient corresponding to each time period;

[0076] In this step, the weight coefficient can be determined according to the custom weight coefficient input by the user on the control terminal of the air conditioning device. For example, when the power limit duration is 4 hours, there are a total of 8 time periods of 30 minutes each, and each time period has a corresponding weight coefficient (such as a percentage), and the sum of the weight coefficients corresponding to the 8 time periods is equal to 1.

[0077] Exemplarily, the user can manually input the weight coefficient of each time period on the weight coefficient graph distributed for each time period displayed on the control terminal of the air conditioning device. The weight coefficient graph distributed for each time period can intuitively display the power consumption of each sub-time period corresponding to the time period of the power limit duration.

[0078] After determining the weight coefficient of each time period, calculate the product of each weight coefficient and the power consumption in the energy consumption control requirement, and the energy consumption value (power consumption) of each time period can be obtained.

[0079] Step S18: Generate a power control curve corresponding to the energy consumption control requirement according to the power value corresponding to each time period.

[0080] After determining the energy consumption value of each time period, the power of each time period can be calculated according to the energy consumption value of each time period and the duration of each time period. Refer to Figure 3, mark the corresponding power points on the coordinate graph, and then connect and smoothly fit each point to generate a power control curve corresponding to the energy consumption control requirements.

[0081] In a possible implementation manner, the step of determining the target control parameter of the power that meets the current operation cycle according to the power control curve may include:

[0082] Step S21, determine the power value of the current operation cycle according to the power control curve;

[0083] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining the energy consumption value of each operation cycle according to the power control curve. Since in the power control curve, the power change situation corresponding to each operation cycle is specifically defined, and in the current operation cycle, the power of the current operation cycle can be obtained by calculating the average power value of the current operation cycle and the duration of the current operation cycle.

[0084] Step S22, determine the target control parameter of the power value that meets the current operation cycle according to the preset power prediction model.

[0085] Wherein, the power prediction model is used to reflect the mapping relationship between the control parameter and the power, and can predict the corresponding power value according to the input control parameter combination. At least the controllable operation parameters are included in the target control parameter, including but not limited to the inner fan speed, the outer fan speed, the compressor frequency, and the expansion valve angle, etc. Therefore, the control parameter combination that meets the power value of the current operation cycle can be found according to the power prediction model through multiple groups of preset control parameter combinations, so as to obtain the target control parameter.

[0086] It should be noted that when the air conditioning equipment operates according to the target control parameter, the corresponding power value is consistent with the power value of the current cycle in the power control curve. Similarly, in other operation cycles, steps S21 to S22 are recycled to obtain the power value of each operation cycle, so that the power value of each operation cycle is consistent with the power value corresponding to each operation cycle in the power control curve, and the precise control of the power of the air conditioning equipment during the power limit period is completed.

[0087] In a possible implementation manner, the step of determining the target control parameter of the power that meets the current operation cycle according to the power control curve may include:

[0088] Step S23, determine the power value of the current operation cycle according to the power control curve;

[0089] Step S24, predict the operating power corresponding to multiple parameter combinations of the air conditioning equipment;

[0090] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, multiple parameter combinations corresponding to the air conditioning equipment can be preset. In the parameter combinations, at least controllable operating parameters and uncontrollable operating parameters are included. The controllable operating parameters are characterized as operating parameters that can be controlled by the air conditioner itself, such as the speed of the indoor fan, the speed of the outdoor fan, and the compressor frequency, etc.; the uncontrollable operating parameters are characterized as parameters that cannot be controlled by the air conditioner itself, such as indoor and outdoor temperatures, indoor and outdoor humidities, the temperature of the exhaust valve, etc., which are environmental parameters that affect the operation of the air conditioner but cannot be set, or parameters set by the user such as the target temperature and the set target wind speed. Operating parameter combination. The operating parameter combination includes multiple controllable operating parameters related to the operating power of the air conditioner.

[0091] Step S25, determine the parameter combination corresponding to the power value that satisfies the current operating cycle as the target control parameter for the current operating cycle.

[0092] After determining the operating powers corresponding to all the preset parameter combinations respectively, it is possible to query the operating powers whose difference from the power value of the current operating cycle is less than the preset threshold among these operating powers, and use the parameter combination corresponding to the operating power whose difference from the power value of the current operating cycle is less than the preset threshold as the target control parameter for the current operating cycle, so that when the air conditioning equipment uses the target control parameter, the difference between the generated operating power and the power value of the current operating cycle is less than the preset threshold.

[0093] In another feasible embodiment, if there are multiple operating powers whose difference from the power value of the current operating cycle is less than the preset threshold, then select the parameter combination corresponding to the operating power that is closest to the power value of the current operating cycle as the target control parameter for the current operating cycle.

[0094] In another feasible embodiment, if there is no operating power among the operating powers corresponding to all the preset parameter combinations respectively whose difference from the power value of the current operating cycle is less than the preset threshold, then select the parameter combination with the smallest difference from the power value of the current operating cycle as the target control parameter for the current operating cycle.

[0095] Further, in a possible implementation manner, the step of predicting the operating powers corresponding to different parameter value combinations of the air conditioning equipment may include:

[0096] Step S231, obtain the uncontrollable parameters of the air conditioning equipment;

[0097] Step S232, generate multiple parameter combinations composed of different parameter values of the controllable parameters according to the controllable parameters of the air conditioning equipment;

[0098] Step S233: Predict the operating power corresponding to each parameter combination based on the uncontrollable parameters.

[0099] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the uncontrollable parameters include but are not limited to indoor and outdoor temperature, indoor and outdoor humidity, exhaust valve temperature, set temperature, etc. Correspondingly, multiple sets of controllable parameter combinations (including but not limited to indoor fan speed, outdoor fan speed, compressor frequency, and expansion valve angle, etc.) also need to be preset. Then, the uncontrollable parameters are combined with each controllable parameter combination respectively to obtain multiple parameter combinations of the air conditioning equipment.

[0100] Exemplarily, the step of predicting the operating power may include: First, obtain the parameter combination of the uncontrollable operating parameters in the air conditioner (including but not limited to indoor and outdoor temperature, indoor and outdoor humidity, exhaust valve temperature, set temperature, etc.), then determine each parameter combination of the controllable operating parameters of the air conditioner (including but not limited to indoor fan speed, outdoor fan speed, compressor frequency, and expansion valve angle, etc.), construct the mapping relationship between the controllable operating parameters, uncontrollable operating parameters, and operating power, and based on this mapping relationship, determine the operating power corresponding to each parameter combination.

[0101] Further, in a possible implementation manner, the energy consumption control method of the air conditioning equipment may further include:

[0102] Step S251: When the parameter combinations corresponding to the power value of the current operation cycle include at least two, select the parameter combination that is closest to the target control parameter of the previous cycle.

[0103] It can be understood that after predicting the corresponding operating power through multiple parameter combinations of the air conditioning equipment, it is possible that the operating powers predicted by two or more parameter combinations are all consistent with the power value of the current operation cycle, or the difference from the power value of the current operation cycle is less than the preset threshold. At this time, the parameter combination closest to the target control parameter of the previous operation cycle can be queried among the parameter combinations corresponding to the power value of the current operation cycle. Because the target control parameter of the previous operation cycle has been run once and is relatively more stable, the operation of the air conditioning equipment can be controlled with the parameter closest to the target control parameter of the previous operation cycle in the current operation cycle, avoiding excessive parameter adjustment and bringing the user an experience of too large a difference in wind feeling or temperature from the previous operation cycle.

[0104] Exemplarily, in combination with the content in the above-mentioned embodiment of the application, taking the air conditioner as an example, the energy consumption control steps of the air conditioning equipment in the embodiment of the present application are as Figure 4As shown, first, in response to a user's instruction, the air conditioner activates the timed power limit requirement (T, E). Through the power curve generation unit, a power curve at time T is generated (corresponding to step S10). Every interval of time (30 seconds), the following logic is executed (cycle i): a. Obtain parameters such as the current environmental state, operating state, and user settings; b. For multiple <compressor frequency, indoor fan speed, outdoor fan speed, expansion valve angle> combinations, predict the power prediction value W(i) for each combination; c. Obtain the power demand value corresponding to this cycle according to the power curve, and from multiple combinations, screen out the combinations that are the same as or close to (within an interval) the power demand value (corresponding to step S20), and control the operation of the air conditioner according to one of the combinations (corresponding to step S30). If the time T ends, the operation is exited.

[0105] It should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only for understanding the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the energy consumption control method of the air conditioning equipment of the present application. Based on this technical concept, more forms of simple transformations are within the protection scope of the present application.
