[0049] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms "comprises / comprising" or "has / including" etc. specify the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a control method for an air-conditioning fan is provided, including:

[0051] S110, when it is detected that the current is in the rapid cooling mode, control the fan to operate at a preset initial speed;

[0052] Among them, the rapid cooling mode is a mode in which the air conditioner enters strong cooling at the initial stage of starting or when the temperature deviates greatly from the target value. This mode can enter automatically or can be entered through manual control, specifically according to actual needs. In a specific example, the preset initial speed can be the rated speed, or it can be 90%, 80% or the like of the rated speed. In fact, the rated speed of the fan is far from its maximum speed.

[0053] S120, obtain indoor environmental temperature data, outdoor environmental data and room characteristic data; among them, the room characteristic data includes room area, room orientation and window area;

[0054] Among them, the indoor environmental temperature data refers to the temperature data of the room where the air conditioner is located, which can be obtained through the temperature sensor provided at the air outlet. The outdoor environmental data can be obtained through the sensor provided on the outdoor unit, and specifically can include temperature data, or can also include parameters such as humidity. The room orientation can be south-facing, north-facing, southwest-facing, etc. The parameter values of the room area, room orientation and window area can be obtained by user upload, or can be obtained by an active method, such as being collected by a laser scanner.

[0055] S130, calculate the current temperature change rate according to the indoor environmental temperature data;

[0056] Specifically, the current temperature change rate can be calculated with a time window of 20s, 30s, or 1min, without specific limitation. Taking 1min as an example, first obtain the difference between the current temperature and the temperature one minute ago, and then divide it by the time length of 1min to get the current temperature change rate. The current temperature change rate is jointly affected by the air conditioner performance and heat transfer. It should be noted that the current temperature change rate is calculated based on the already occurred temperature data, which reflects the past cooling effect. For example, after the air conditioner starts cooling for a period of time, the temperature drop rate is calculated to determine whether the rotation speed needs to be adjusted. However, during this period, the room may have absorbed a large amount of heat due to poor heat dissipation conditions, resulting in a slow decrease in the indoor temperature. Adjusting only according to the temperature change trend may not be able to timely respond to the influence brought by the heat dissipation conditions, causing the indoor temperature to be higher than the target value for a long time. For rooms with different heat dissipation conditions, even if the initial temperature and temperature change trend are the same, their subsequent temperature change situations may be completely different.

[0057] S140. Determine the current room heat transfer coefficient based on the outdoor environmental data, room area, room orientation, and window area.

[0058] Among them, the current room heat transfer coefficient refers to the heat transfer coefficient for the cold quantity to be transferred outside the room. It should be noted that the current room heat transfer coefficient is the heat insulation performance of the room and is the heat dissipation ability of the room itself. For example, a west-facing room will be directly irradiated by sunlight from afternoon to evening, and a large amount of heat will be introduced into the room through the windows and walls. Taking summer as an example, in the same building, the indoor temperature of a west-facing room may be 3 - 5°C higher than that of a non-west-facing room. This means that a west-facing room requires stronger cooling capacity to maintain a comfortable temperature. The room area refers to the area of the six surfaces inside the room.

[0059] Specifically, the current room heat transfer coefficient can be estimated using empirical methods. For example, different heat transfer coefficients can be assigned based on factors such as the room orientation (in the south, south-facing rooms receive sunlight for a longer time and the heat transfer of cold is faster; north-facing rooms are slower) and the window area (the larger the window area, the faster the heat transfer of cold). For example, a preset value is assigned to each orientation according to the current time point, and then the preset value is increased or decreased according to the ratio of the window area (the ratio of the window area to the room area). For example, the heat transfer coefficient of a south-facing room at 8 am is 1.2, and that of a north-facing room is 0.8. The basic ratio of the window area is 15%, and for every 2% increase, the heat transfer coefficient increases by 0.5. By integrating these factors, a room heat transfer coefficient is obtained to quantify the room's heat dissipation conditions. Finally, the heat transfer coefficient is further dynamically corrected based on outdoor environmental data. The correction value can be obtained through experimental measurement. A temperature correction coefficient is assigned for different temperatures, and the product of the room heat transfer coefficient and the temperature correction coefficient is used as the current room heat transfer coefficient. In another example, in the presence of an accurate room model, the heat transfer coefficients of the wall and the window at the current time point can be calculated separately (specifically, it can be calculated according to empirical formulas or numerical simulations), and then weights are assigned according to the area ratio to obtain the current room heat transfer coefficient. For example, the heat transfer coefficient of the wall is A1; the heat transfer coefficient of the window is B1, and the area ratio is 20%, then the current room heat transfer coefficient = 0.8A1 + 0.2B1. Specifically, the current room heat transfer coefficient can also be obtained by other means, such as through simulation. Incorporating the room heat transfer coefficient into the comprehensive efficiency index can enable the air conditioner to more accurately understand the actual cooling demand of the room. Reducing the cooling power in rooms with good heat dissipation conditions and increasing the cooling capacity in rooms with poor heat dissipation conditions can avoid unnecessary energy waste. Reasonably considering the heat dissipation conditions for air conditioner control can reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner by 10% - 20% while ensuring the comfort of the indoor temperature. Considering the heat dissipation conditions can enable the air conditioning system to better adapt to different usage environments. Whether it is a newly built house with good insulation performance or an old house with poor insulation, the air conditioner can automatically adjust its operating parameters according to the heat dissipation conditions to ensure stable and efficient operation in various environments.

[0060] S150. Determine a comprehensive efficiency index according to the current temperature change rate, the desired temperature change rate, the current room heat transfer coefficient, and the reference heat transfer coefficient.

[0061] Among them, the comprehensive efficiency index is a dimensionless index that reflects the matching degree between the current cooling efficiency and the target efficiency. The desired temperature change rate is the target temperature adjustment rate preset by the user or the system. The reference heat transfer coefficient is the designed heat transfer parameter of the room under standard working conditions and serves as a reference for performance comparison.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the steps for determining the comprehensive efficiency index according to the current temperature change rate, the desired temperature change rate, the current room heat transfer coefficient, and the reference heat transfer coefficient include:

[0063] S210, obtain the heat transfer weighting factor;

[0064] Among them, the heat transfer weighting factor is a weight coefficient reflecting the influence of heat transfer efficiency on the system efficiency, and is used to balance the contributions of the temperature adjustment rate and the heat transfer performance. Its value range is between 0 and 1.

[0065] Specifically, the heat transfer weighting factor is obtained by processing according to the expert rule base. By inputting the outdoor wind speed and the solar radiation value into the rule base, the corresponding weight can be obtained, and this weight is the heat transfer weighting factor.

[0066] S220, based on the current temperature change rate and the desired temperature change rate, determine the first dimensionless value;

[0067] Specifically, the first dimensionless value is obtained based on the following formula:

[0068] ;

[0069] Among them, is the first dimensionless value; is the current temperature change rate; is the desired temperature change rate.

[0070] S230, based on the heat transfer weighting factor, the current room heat transfer coefficient, and the reference heat transfer coefficient, determine the second dimensionless value;

[0071] Specifically, the second dimensionless value is obtained based on the following formula:

[0072] ;

[0073] Among them, is the second dimensionless value; is the heat transfer weighting factor; is the current room heat transfer coefficient; is the reference heat transfer coefficient; is the dynamic threshold. In a specific example, the dynamic threshold is obtained according to the outdoor temperature. .

[0074] S240, confirm the sum of the first dimensionless value and the second dimensionless value as the comprehensive efficiency index.

[0075] Specifically, when the comprehensive efficiency index is equal to 0, it means that the refrigeration efficiency exactly matches the expectation; when the comprehensive efficiency index is less than 0, the rotation speed needs to be reduced; when the comprehensive efficiency index is greater than 0, the rotation speed needs to be increased.

[0076] S160. Determine the adjusted speed of the fan based on the initial speed, the comprehensive efficiency index, and the preset adjustment amplitude, and control the fan to operate at the adjusted speed.

[0077] Specifically, the preset adjustment amplitude includes a positive adjustment amplitude and a negative adjustment amplitude. When the comprehensive efficiency index is greater than 0, the negative adjustment amplitude is selected; when the comprehensive efficiency index is less than 0, the positive adjustment amplitude is selected. ) where is the value of the comprehensive efficiency index, and β is the preset adjustment amplitude.

[0078] The above control method for the air-conditioning fan determines the comprehensive efficiency index through the indoor environmental temperature data, the outdoor environmental data, and the room characteristic data, and based on the current temperature change rate, the desired temperature change rate, the current room heat transfer coefficient, and the reference heat transfer coefficient. By using the comprehensive efficiency index to judge the adjusted speed of the fan, it can adapt to the insufficient cooling or over-cooling phenomena caused by the fixed wind speed in the traditional rapid cooling mode, effectively avoid the energy waste caused by the fixed speed in specific scenarios, reduce the operating cost, and improve the user comfort.

[0079] In one embodiment, it further includes the step of:

[0080] When the difference between the indoor environmental temperature and the target temperature is less than a preset value, control the fan to reduce its speed until the speed reaches the corresponding speed value in the normal operation mode.

[0081] Specifically, when the difference between the indoor temperature and the target temperature is less than a certain set threshold (such as 2°C), it is determined that the temperature is close to the target value.

[0082] The speed adjustment can adopt a linear decrease or a non-linear decrease method to gradually reduce the speed value. Taking the linear decrease as an example, a decrease step size is set (such as reducing 50 revolutions per minute). When the difference between the temperature and the target temperature is less than 2°C, start to reduce the speed according to the step size. If the current speed is 1800 revolutions per minute, the target temperature is 25°C, and the current temperature is 26°C, with a difference of 1°C (less than 2°C), then the speed will be reduced by 50 revolutions per minute until the speed drops to the corresponding speed value in the normal operation mode.
