[0025] In combination with the accompanying drawings, the reference numerals in the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0026] 102 - Acquisition unit; 104 - Control unit. Detailed implementation manners

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] With the increasing attention and emphasis on sleep quality by people, the air conditioner has been upgraded from a single temperature control tool to a "sleep health management terminal", and the "user sleep scenario" of the air conditioner has been increasingly applied. The "user sleep scenario" of the air conditioner generally refers to an intelligent operation mode designed specifically for night sleep, which creates a more comfortable sleep environment by dynamically adjusting parameters such as temperature, wind speed, and humidity. In the related art, the set temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted in real time by monitoring metabolic parameters such as heart rate, breathing rate, eye movement frequency, and pulse. However, adjusting the set temperature of the air conditioner through metabolic parameters such as heart rate may not be accurate enough. For example, after exercise or when excited, the heart rate may be high, but the temperature may not need to be lowered. Or, some people are used to a relatively hot environment, and even if their heart rate is normal, they may still need to adjust the temperature. In addition, the use of monitoring devices such as heart rate measurement instruments or thermal imaging cameras increases the overall complexity and energy consumption of the system.

[0029] Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a control method of an air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a detection module and a communication module, and the detection module is used to detect the indoor temperature of the air conditioner.

[0030] The structure of the air conditioner is as Figure 3 shown. The air conditioner includes a detection module, a communication module, and an air conditioner control module. Among them, the detection module is an indoor temperature sensor.

[0031] The indoor temperature sensor can be set near the air conditioner return air outlet to accurately reflect the indoor temperature and ensure that the temperature data acquisition module receives effective indoor temperature data. The indoor temperature sensor can select an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor. The NTC thermistor can select a 10kΩ NTC thermistor. The indoor temperature sensor can also select a digital temperature sensor, such as the DS18B20, SHT3x series. The specific model of the indoor temperature sensor can be selected according to the accuracy requirements, response speed, installation conditions, and compatibility requirements of the air conditioner.

[0032] The indoor temperature sensor can adopt a low-power continuous monitoring mode or an intermittent sampling mode to ensure timely acquisition of indoor temperature data and provide the indoor temperature data to the air conditioner control module. To reduce energy consumption, the intermittent sampling mode can be adopted during the air conditioner stop operation stage. By reducing the sampling frequency, for example, from 1 second / sampling to 10 seconds / sampling, that is, by extending the sampling interval to extend the sleep time, the energy consumption is reduced.

[0033] Even when the air conditioner is in the stop operation stage, some parts of the air conditioner control module (such as the microprocessor, power management module) remain powered on to ensure that the indoor temperature sensor can work normally. The indoor temperature sensor can collect indoor temperature data at a set time interval (such as every second, every minute, or adaptively adjusted) and provide the indoor temperature data to the air conditioner control module. The analog temperature sensor (such as the NTC thermistor) measures the resistance change through a voltage dividing circuit and then converts it into a temperature value. The digital temperature sensor (such as the DS18B20, SHT3x) directly provides the indoor temperature data to the air conditioner control module through the I 2 C or SPI communication protocol.

[0034] The indoor temperature data collected by the indoor temperature sensor can be transmitted to the air conditioner control module, such as an MCU (Microcontroller Unit). The indoor temperature data collected by the indoor temperature sensor can also be transmitted to an independent temperature control module, such as a temperature control chip.

[0035] The air conditioner control module is used to adjust the operating state of the air conditioner based on the indoor temperature of the temperature data acquisition module according to a preset control logic.

[0036] Specifically, the air conditioner control module is configured to, when the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, determine the timing duration for which the air conditioner needs to operate according to the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located, and control the air conditioner to turn on and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage; wherein, the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature refers to the moment corresponding to the event that the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold.

[0037] When the indoor temperature reaches the air conditioner startup condition, the control module can activate the relay or solid-state switch to connect the air conditioner circuit, so that key components such as the compressor, electronic expansion valve, outdoor fan, and indoor fan are powered on and operate. Thus, through the differential timing strategy by time period, the redundant operation duration of the air conditioner at night is reduced, and while ensuring the sleep continuity of the user, the dual improvements of energy efficiency and comfort are achieved.

[0038] The communication module is configured to receive the set temperature threshold.

[0039] The communication module is configured to, when the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold and the air conditioner is controlled to turn on, send a control instruction to the smart home system; the control instruction includes turning the smart home system on or off or mode switching.

[0040] When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold and the air conditioner is controlled to turn on, the control module of the air conditioner can send a control instruction to the smart home system through the communication module to control the smart home system to turn on or off or mode switching, so as to realize the coordinated control of the air conditioner with smart home systems such as smart curtains and fresh air systems (such as automatically closing the window and starting the fresh air), thereby further improving the comfort of the user and optimizing the energy consumption.

[0041] Such as Figure 1 The flowchart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention is shown. The control method of the air conditioner may include: step S110 and step S120.

[0042] In step S110, during the stop operation stage of the air conditioner, the indoor temperature of the air conditioner is acquired.

[0043] Among them, the stop operation stage of the air conditioner may be the stop operation stage after the air conditioner operates regularly and then automatically shuts down, or the stop operation stage after the user shuts down the air conditioner by himself / herself.

[0044] In step S120, when the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, determine the timing duration for which the air conditioner needs to operate according to the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located, and control the air conditioner to turn on and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage.

[0045] Among them, the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature refers to the moment corresponding to the event that the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold.

[0046] The user can select the temperature threshold function on the remote control, control panel or APP to set the temperature threshold. For example, the temperature threshold can be set to 28 °C. When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to turn on. The user can also select the set temperature function on the remote control, control panel or APP to set the set temperature for the operation of the air conditioner. For example, the set temperature can be set to 26 °C. The set temperature refers to the desired indoor temperature value set by the user and is the reference target for the air conditioner control module to adjust the operation state of the air conditioner.

[0047] Through the communication module, the set temperature threshold and set temperature are received and stored in the memory of the air conditioner control module. The obtained indoor temperature is compared with the set temperature threshold.

[0048] When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, determine the timing duration for which the air conditioner needs to operate according to the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located, and control the air conditioner to turn on and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage. Thus, through the differential timing strategy by time period, the redundant operation duration of the air conditioner at night is reduced, and while ensuring the continuity of the user's sleep, the dual improvement of energy efficiency and comfort is achieved.

[0049] The corresponding moment of the indoor temperature refers to the moment corresponding to the event that the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold. It can be that the air conditioner control module synchronously records the current time at the moment when the temperature sensor detects that the indoor temperature exceeds the set temperature threshold through the timestamp recording mechanism. The air conditioner control module can obtain the time data of the indoor temperature through the RTC (Real-Time Clock Module). The air conditioner control module can be built with an RTC chip, such as DS3231, to ensure that the time data is not lost after power-off. The air conditioner control module can also obtain the time data of the indoor temperature through network time synchronization. For example, through the communication module, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth module, the time is automatically calibrated through NTP (Network Time Protocol) to avoid clock drift error.

[0050] The obtained indoor temperature is compared with the set temperature threshold. When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the air conditioner control module triggers a hardware interrupt signal, and the MCU immediately performs the following operations: Obtain the accurate time (accurate to the second level) from the RTC or network synchronization service and bind the event that the indoor temperature exceeds the set temperature threshold to the corresponding timestamp and store it in the memory of the air conditioner control module.

[0051] In some embodiments, in step S120, the specific process of determining the scheduled operation duration required for the air conditioner according to the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located includes:

[0052] If the time period in which the moment of the indoor temperature is located is the set first time period, the scheduled operation duration required for the air conditioner is the set first duration;

[0053] If the time period in which the moment of the indoor temperature is located is the set second time period, the scheduled operation duration required for the air conditioner is the set second duration; wherein the first duration is greater than the second duration.

[0054] Considering the different physiological characteristics and environmental factors during the sleep stage, the night time period can be divided into multiple time periods, and through a time period-differentiated timing strategy, the comfort of the user and the energy efficiency of the air conditioner can be optimized.

[0055] According to the physiological laws of human sleep, the human sleep cycle generally includes a deep sleep period and a light sleep period. During the deep sleep stage, the human body is less sensitive to temperature changes, so a longer running time is allowed to maintain temperature stability and at the same time reduce the interference caused by frequent start-stop. While during the light sleep stage, it is easier to be woken up by temperature fluctuations and noise, so a shorter running time is required to reduce interference.

[0056] In addition, environmental factors also need to be considered. The long-time operation during the deep sleep period can utilize the thermal inertia of the building structure to maintain temperature stability for a longer time and avoid frequent start-stop of the air conditioner, which is both energy-saving and comfortable. While the light sleep period is close to morning, the outside temperature may start to change, and a short-time operation is sufficient to maintain comfort and at the same time avoid discomfort when waking up due to excessive cooling.

[0057] In some embodiments, in step S120, the specific process of determining the scheduled operation duration required for the air conditioner according to the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located includes:

[0058] If the time period in which the moment of the indoor temperature is located is the set first time period, the scheduled operation duration required for the air conditioner is the set first duration;

[0059] If the time period in which the moment of the indoor temperature is located is the set second time period, the scheduled operation duration required for the air conditioner is the set second duration; wherein the first duration is greater than the second duration.

[0060] If the time period in which the moment of the indoor temperature is located is the set third time period, the scheduled operation duration required for the air conditioner is the set third duration; wherein, the first duration is greater than the second duration, and the second duration is greater than the third duration.

[0061] In some embodiments, the set first time period, the set second time period, and the set third time period are set by the system and / or the user; the set first duration, the set second duration, and the set third duration are set by the system and / or the user.

[0062] Setting three time periods can more precisely match the needs of different sleep stages, improving the user's comfort and optimizing energy consumption. For example, the deep sleep stage is not sensitive to temperature fluctuations and can allow a longer running time; the light sleep stage is more sensitive and requires a shorter control cycle; when approaching waking up, the body temperature begins to rise, and only a short operation is needed to maintain the temperature to avoid excessive cooling.

[0063] The user can perform personalized settings on the night time period and the corresponding timing durations for different time periods. For example, the user sets two time periods from 2 am to 4 am and from 4 am to 8 am at night. When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located is from 2 am to 4 am at night, and the set timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is set to 1.5 h. The time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located is from 4 am to 8 am at night, and the set timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is set to 1 h.

[0064] The user can perform personalized settings on the night time period and the corresponding timing durations for different time periods on the remote control, control panel, or APP. Taking the remote control as an example, specifically, the following method can be adopted:

[0065] Click the "Time Period Selection" button to set a time period. First, click the "Time Period Selection" button once, and then click the up and down buttons on the remote control to determine the start time of the time period; when the start time number on the display panel stops flashing and the end time number on the display panel starts to flash, click the up and down buttons on the remote control to determine the end time of the time period. Then, by continuously clicking the "Time Period Selection" button twice in succession and then clicking the "Timing" button to determine the timing duration when the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature threshold in this time period. If you want to add a time period, you can continue to complete it through the above operations. If the user wants to reset the time period, long press the "Time Period Selection" button for more than 5 seconds to complete the reset operation of the set time period.

[0066] The remote control can also set a user setting button, such as a "Personalization" button. Through the "Personalization" button, one-key control of the air conditioner can be realized, so that when the obtained indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is determined according to the user-set time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located, and the air conditioner is controlled to start up and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage.

[0067] In addition, the night time period and the corresponding timing durations for different time periods can also be set by the system. For example, the system sets three time periods: from 1 am to 3 am at night, from 3 am to 5 am at night, and from 5 am to 7 am at night. When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located is from 1 am to 3 am at night, and the set timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is set to 2 hours. The time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located is from 3 am to 5 am at night, and the set timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is set to 1 hour. The time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located is from 5 am to 7 am at night, and the set timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is set to 30 minutes.

[0068] The user can control the air conditioner through a remote control, a control panel or an APP to make the air conditioner operate in the mode set by the system. Taking the remote control as an example, the remote control can also be provided with a system setting button, such as a "Comfort Intelligence" button. Through the "Comfort Intelligence" button, one-key control of the air conditioner can be realized, so that when the obtained indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is determined according to the system-set time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located, and the air conditioner is controlled to start up and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage.

[0069] Different users have different sleeping habits. For example, some users may go to bed late, or the duration of the deep sleep period is different. Customized time periods and durations can better fit personal schedules. For example, night shift workers may require different time settings. Therefore, user customization can meet personalized needs. The advantage of system setting is that it can automatically optimize the energy efficiency and comfort of the air conditioner, avoid increased energy consumption or sleep interference caused by improper manual settings by users, and reduce the setting steps, making the operation simple.

[0070] Figure 4 It is a schematic flow chart of the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, the method includes:

[0071] S01, turn on the air conditioner;

[0072] S02, enter the mode set when the air conditioner was last turned off; where the last shutdown of the air conditioner refers to the shutdown of the air conditioner before S01 when the air conditioner is turned on;

[0073] S03, determine whether a comfort intelligence instruction is received within 5 seconds;

[0074] S04, if a "comfort intelligence" instruction is received within 5 seconds, enter the system setting mode; otherwise, the customer sets the temperature threshold and the set temperature;

[0075] S05, determine whether a "time period selection" instruction is received within 5 seconds;

[0076] S06. If a "time period selection" instruction is received within 5 seconds, set the start and end times of the time period; otherwise, determine whether the "time period selection" key is long-pressed for more than 5 seconds. If the "time period selection" key is long-pressed for more than 5 seconds, repeat the user-set temperature threshold and set temperature in step S04; otherwise, enter the system setting mode.

[0077] S07. Determine whether two consecutive "time period selection" and "timing" instructions are received.

[0078] S08. If two consecutive "time period selection" and "timing" instructions are received, set the corresponding timing duration for this time period; otherwise, enter the system setting mode. If multiple time periods need to be set, repeat step S05.

[0079] S09. Determine whether a "personalization" instruction is received.

[0080] S10. If a "personalization" instruction is received, enter the user customization mode; otherwise, enter the system setting mode.

[0081] When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold and the air conditioner is controlled to start up, the control module of the air conditioner can send control instructions to the smart home system through the communication module to control the smart home system to turn on / off or switch modes, so as to realize the coordinated control of the air conditioner with smart home systems such as smart curtains and fresh air systems (such as automatically closing windows and starting the fresh air system), thereby further improving the comfort of users and optimizing energy consumption.

[0082] During the process of the air conditioner starting up and running for the timing duration according to the control strategy before the stop operation stage, the control module of the air conditioner can send the indoor temperature to the cloud server through the communication module for the user to obtain the indoor temperature through the cloud server. Thus, the user can realize data monitoring and remote management (such as adjusting the set temperature) through the control panel or APP, improving the convenience of the user to control the air conditioner.

[0083] In some embodiments, in step S120, the air conditioner includes an indoor fan, an outdoor fan, a compressor, and an electronic expansion valve.

[0084] The controlling the air conditioner to start up and running for the timing duration according to the control strategy before the stop operation stage includes:

[0085] Running for the timing duration with the operating parameters and control logic before the stop operation stage.

[0086] Among them, the operating parameters include at least one of the up-and-down swing state of the indoor fan, the left-and-right swing state of the indoor fan, and the angle of the wind deflector of the indoor fan; the control logic includes the logic for controlling at least one of the rotational speed of the indoor fan, the rotational speed of the outdoor fan, the compressor frequency, and the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

[0087] After the air conditioner is turned on, continuing the up-and-down swing state of the indoor fan, the left-and-right swing state of the indoor fan, the angle of the wind deflector of the indoor fan, and the control logic for controlling the rotational speed of the indoor fan before the air conditioner stops operating can maintain a stable wind speed and direction, avoiding discomfort for the user. Setting multiple time periods can more precisely match the needs of different sleep stages, and user customization can meet personalized needs. And the system setting can automatically optimize the energy efficiency and comfort of the air conditioner, avoiding increased energy consumption or sleep interference caused by improper manual settings by the user, and reducing the setting steps, with simple operation.

[0088] Figure 5 It is a schematic flowchart of the control method of the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to the present invention. As Figure 5 shown, the method includes:

[0089] First, enter the system setting mode.

[0090] Then, when the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, if the time period corresponding to the indoor temperature is from 1 am to 3 am at night, control the air conditioner to operate for the timing duration of 2 h with the up-and-down swing state of the indoor fan, the left-and-right swing state of the indoor fan, the angle of the wind deflector of the indoor fan, and the control logic for controlling the rotational speed of the indoor fan before the previous shutdown.

[0091] When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, if the time period corresponding to the indoor temperature is from 3 am to 5 am at night, control the air conditioner to operate for the timing duration of 1 h with the up-and-down swing state of the indoor fan, the left-and-right swing state of the indoor fan, the angle of the wind deflector of the indoor fan, and the control logic for controlling the rotational speed of the indoor fan before the previous shutdown.

[0092] When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, if the time period corresponding to the indoor temperature is from 5 am to 7 am at night, control the air conditioner to operate for the timing duration of 30 min with the up-and-down swing state of the indoor fan, the left-and-right swing state of the indoor fan, the angle of the wind deflector of the indoor fan, and the control logic for controlling the rotational speed of the indoor fan before the previous shutdown.

[0093] When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, if the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature does not fall into the above three time periods, keep the air conditioner in the off state.

[0094] The operating parameters before the air conditioner stops running can be stored by taking a snapshot before stopping. Within 50 ms after the stop trigger signal is sent, all key operating parameters are captured in real time through an ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter). A sliding average filter (window width = 10 sampling points) is used to eliminate instantaneous disturbances (such as speed jitter caused by grid voltage fluctuations). The operating parameters include at least one of the up-and-down swing state of the indoor fan, the left-and-right swing state of the indoor fan, and the angle of the wind deflector of the indoor fan. The above operating parameters are stored in a non-volatile storage medium.

[0095] The above method will be introduced below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0096] At 3:15 am in summer, the temperature sensor detects that the indoor temperature is 29 °C, which is greater than the set temperature threshold of 28 °C, and the air conditioner needs to be restarted. Query the current timestamp and match the period set by the system. For example, 03:15 is in the period from 3 am to 5 am at night. Retrieve the corresponding running duration (such as 1 hour) and the operating parameters of the indoor fan before the air conditioner stops running during this period. For example, the up-and-down swing mode of the indoor fan is automatic swing The left-and-right swing mode is a fixed angle (15° to the left), and the angle of the wind deflector is tilted up 25°. The air conditioner runs for 1 hour with the above operating parameters and the control logic for controlling the speed of the indoor fan before the previous shutdown.

[0097] After the air conditioner is turned on, suddenly changing the parameters and control logic will cause temperature fluctuations and affect comfort. Moreover, parameter reset will cause the system to converge to a steady state again, and this process will lead to a decrease in the energy efficiency ratio. Continuing the up-and-down swing state of the indoor fan, the left-and-right swing state of the indoor fan, the angle of the wind deflector of the indoor fan, and the control logic for controlling the speed of the indoor fan before the air conditioner stops running can maintain a stable wind speed and direction, avoid discomfort for users, and optimize the energy efficiency of the air conditioner at the same time.

[0098] Figure 6 It is a schematic flow chart of the control method for the outdoor unit of the air conditioner of the present invention. As Figure 6 shown, the method includes:

[0099] First, enter the system setting mode.

[0100] Then, when the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, if the period corresponding to the moment of the indoor temperature is from 1 am to 3 am at night, control the air conditioner to run for the timing duration of 2 hours with at least one of the logic for controlling the speed of the outdoor fan, the compressor frequency, and the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve before the previous shutdown.

[0101] When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, if the time period corresponding to the indoor temperature is from 3:00 to 5:00 at night, control the air conditioner to operate for the timing duration of 1 h according to the logic of controlling at least one of the outdoor fan speed, compressor frequency, and electronic expansion valve opening before the previous shutdown.

[0102] When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, if the time period corresponding to the indoor temperature is from 5:00 to 7:00 at night, control the air conditioner to operate for the timing duration of 30 min according to the logic of controlling at least one of the outdoor fan speed, compressor frequency, and electronic expansion valve opening before the previous shutdown.

[0103] When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, if the corresponding time of the indoor temperature does not fall into the above three time periods, keep the air conditioner in the off state.

[0104] The above method will be introduced below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0105] At 3:15 in the early morning of summer, the temperature sensor detects that the indoor temperature is 29 °C, which is greater than the set temperature threshold of 28 °C, and the air conditioner needs to be restarted. Query the current timestamp and match the time period set by the system. For example, 03:15 is in the time period from 3:00 to 5:00 at night. Control the air conditioner to operate for 1 h according to the logic of controlling at least one of the outdoor fan speed, compressor frequency, and electronic expansion valve opening before the previous shutdown.

[0106] After the air conditioner is turned on, continue the logic of controlling at least one of the outdoor fan speed, compressor frequency, and electronic expansion valve opening before the air conditioner stops running, so that the air conditioner can smoothly transition from the stop running stage to running according to the set temperature, avoiding temperature fluctuations. Moreover, it can avoid the wear of components such as the compressor caused by frequent parameter adjustment, enable the air conditioner to quickly converge to the high-efficiency working range, and optimize the user's comfort and the energy efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0107] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a control device for an air conditioner corresponding to the control method of the air conditioner. The air conditioner includes a detection module and a communication module. The detection module is used to detect the indoor temperature.

[0108] The structure of the air conditioner is as Figure 3 shown. The air conditioner includes: an indoor temperature sensor, a communication module, and an air conditioner control module. Among them, the detection module is the indoor temperature sensor.

[0109] The indoor temperature sensor can be set near the air conditioner return air outlet to accurately reflect the indoor temperature and ensure that the temperature data acquisition module receives valid indoor temperature data. The indoor temperature sensor can select an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor. The NTC thermistor can select a 10kΩ NTC thermistor. The indoor temperature sensor can also select a digital temperature sensor, such as the DS18B20, SHT3x series. The specific model of the indoor temperature sensor can be selected according to the accuracy requirements, response speed, installation conditions, and compatibility requirements of the air conditioner.

[0110] The indoor temperature sensor can adopt a low-power continuous monitoring mode or an intermittent sampling mode to ensure timely acquisition of indoor temperature data and provide the indoor temperature data to the air conditioner control module. To reduce energy consumption, the intermittent sampling mode can be adopted during the stage when the air conditioner stops running. By reducing the sampling frequency, such as from 1 second / sampling to 10 seconds / sampling, that is, by extending the sampling interval to extend the sleep time, the energy consumption is reduced.

[0111] Even when the air conditioner is in the stopped running stage, some parts of the air conditioner control module (such as the microprocessor, power management module) remain powered on to ensure that the indoor temperature sensor can work properly. The indoor temperature sensor can collect indoor temperature data at a set time interval (such as every second, every minute, or adaptively adjusted) and provide the indoor temperature data to the air conditioner control module. The analog temperature sensor (such as the NTC thermistor) measures the resistance change through a voltage division circuit and then converts it into a temperature value. The digital temperature sensor (such as the DS18B20, SHT3x) directly provides the indoor temperature data to the air conditioner control module through the I 2 C or SPI communication protocol.

[0112] The indoor temperature data collected by the indoor temperature sensor can be transmitted to the air conditioner control module, such as an MCU (Microcontroller Unit). The indoor temperature data collected by the indoor temperature sensor can also be transmitted to an independent temperature control module, such as a temperature control chip.

[0113] The air conditioner control module is used to adjust the operating state of the air conditioner based on the preset control logic according to the indoor temperature of the temperature data acquisition module.

[0114] Specifically, the air conditioner control module is used to determine the scheduled operation duration required for the air conditioner according to the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located when the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, and control the air conditioner to turn on and operate for the scheduled duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage; wherein, the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature refers to the moment corresponding to the event that the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold.

[0115] When the indoor temperature reaches the air conditioner startup condition, the control module can activate the relay or solid-state switch to connect the air conditioner circuit, so that key components such as the compressor, electronic expansion valve, outdoor fan, and indoor fan are powered on and operate. Thus, through the differential timing strategy by time period, the redundant operation duration of the air conditioner at night is reduced, and while ensuring the sleep continuity of the user, the dual improvements of energy efficiency and comfort are achieved.

[0116] Receive the set temperature threshold through the communication module.

[0117] Through the communication module, when the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold and the air conditioner is controlled to turn on, send a control instruction to the smart home system; the control instruction includes turning the smart home system on or off or mode switching.

[0118] When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold and the air conditioner is controlled to turn on, the control module of the air conditioner can send a control instruction to the smart home system through the communication module to control the smart home system to turn on or off or mode switch, so as to realize the coordinated control of the air conditioner with smart home systems such as smart curtains and fresh air systems (such as automatically closing the window and starting the fresh air), thereby further improving the comfort of the user and optimizing the energy consumption.

[0119] See Figure 2 The structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the device of the present invention shown. The control device of this air conditioner may include: an acquisition unit 102 and a control unit 104.

[0120] The acquisition unit 102 is configured to acquire the indoor temperature of the air conditioner during the stop operation stage of the air conditioner. The specific functions and processing of this acquisition unit 102 are referred to step S110.

[0121] The control unit 104 is configured to determine the scheduled operation duration required for the air conditioner according to the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located when the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, and control the air conditioner to turn on and operate for the scheduled duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage; wherein, the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature refers to the moment corresponding to the event that the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are referred to step S120.

[0122] When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, determine the timing duration for which the air conditioner needs to operate according to the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located, and control the air conditioner to turn on and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage. Thus, through the differential timing strategy by time period, the redundant operation duration of the air conditioner at night is reduced, and while ensuring the sleep continuity of the user, the dual improvements of energy efficiency and comfort are achieved.

[0123] In some embodiments, for the control unit 104, the specific process of determining the timing duration for which the air conditioner needs to operate according to the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located includes:

[0124] If the time period in which the moment of the indoor temperature is located is the set first time period, the timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is the set first duration;

[0125] If the time period in which the moment of the indoor temperature is located is the set second time period, the timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is the set second duration; where the first duration is greater than the second duration.

[0126] Considering the different physiological characteristics and environmental factors in the sleep stage, the night time period can be divided into multiple time periods, and through the differential timing strategy by time period, the comfort of the user and the energy efficiency of the air conditioner can be optimized.

[0127] According to the physiological laws of human sleep, the human sleep cycle generally includes a deep sleep period and a light sleep period. In the deep sleep stage, the human body is less sensitive to temperature changes, so a longer running time is allowed to maintain temperature stability, and at the same time, the interference caused by frequent start and stop is reduced. In the light sleep stage, it is easier to be woken up by temperature fluctuations and noise, so a shorter running time is required to reduce interference.

[0128] In addition, environmental factors also need to be considered. The long-time operation in the deep sleep period can utilize the thermal inertia of the building structure to maintain temperature stability for a longer time and avoid frequent start and stop of the air conditioner, which is both energy-saving and comfortable. The light sleep period is close to morning, and the outside temperature may start to change. A short-time operation is sufficient to maintain comfort, and at the same time, it avoids discomfort when waking up due to excessive cooling.

[0129] In some embodiments, for the control unit 104, the specific process of determining the timing duration for which the air conditioner needs to operate according to the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located includes:

[0130] If the time period in which the moment of the indoor temperature is located is the set first time period, the timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is the set first duration;

[0131] If the time period in which the indoor temperature is located is the set second time period, the scheduled operation duration required for the air conditioner is the set second duration; wherein the first duration is greater than the second duration.

[0132] If the time period in which the indoor temperature is located is the set third time period, the scheduled operation duration required for the air conditioner is the set third duration; wherein the first duration is greater than the second duration, and the second duration is greater than the third duration.

[0133] Setting three time periods can more precisely match the needs of different sleep stages, improve the comfort of users, and optimize energy consumption. For example, during the deep sleep stage, the body is not sensitive to temperature fluctuations and a longer running time can be allowed; during the light sleep stage, the sensitivity is high and a shorter control cycle is required; when approaching waking up, the body temperature begins to rise and only a short operation is needed to maintain the temperature and avoid excessive cooling.

[0134] In some embodiments, the set first time period, the set second time period, and the set third time period are set by the system and / or the user; the set first duration, the set second duration, and the set third duration are set by the system and / or the user.

[0135] Different users have different sleep habits. For example, some users may go to bed late or have different deep sleep periods. Customizing the time periods and durations can better fit individual schedules. For example, night shift workers may require different time settings. Therefore, user customization can meet personalized needs. The advantage of system setting is that it can automatically optimize the energy efficiency and comfort of the air conditioner, avoid increased energy consumption or sleep interference caused by improper manual settings by users, and reduce the setting steps with simple operation.

[0136] Since the processing and functions implemented by the device in this embodiment are basically corresponding to the embodiments, principles, and examples of the foregoing method, for the details not described in the description of this embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions in the foregoing embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0137] Adopting the technical solution of the present invention, when the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the scheduled operation duration required for the air conditioner is determined according to the time period in which the corresponding time of the indoor temperature is located, and the air conditioner is controlled to start up and operate for the scheduled operation duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage. Thus, through the differential timing strategy by time period, the redundant operation duration of the air conditioner at night is reduced, and while ensuring the sleep continuity of users, the dual improvements of energy efficiency and comfort are achieved.

[0138] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided an air conditioner corresponding to the control device of the air conditioner. This air conditioner may include: the control device of the air conditioner described above.

[0139] Since the processing and functions implemented by the air conditioner in this embodiment are basically corresponding to the embodiments, principles, and examples of the foregoing device, for the details not described in the description of this embodiment, reference may be made to the relevant descriptions in the foregoing embodiments and will not be elaborated herein.

[0140] Adopting the technical solution of the present invention, when the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the timing duration for which the air conditioner needs to operate is determined according to the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located, and the air conditioner is controlled to start up and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage. Thus, through the differential timing strategy by time period, the redundant operation duration of the air conditioner at night is reduced, and while ensuring the continuity of the user's sleep, the dual improvement of energy efficiency and comfort is achieved.

[0141] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a remote controller for an air conditioner, which has control buttons; the control buttons include a temperature threshold button, a time period selection button, a user setting button, and a system setting button.

[0142] Through the temperature threshold button, the user sets the temperature threshold; through the time period selection button, the user sets the time period and the corresponding timing duration for each time period.

[0143] Through the user setting button, one-key control of the air conditioner is achieved, so that when the obtained indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is determined according to the time period set by the user in which the moment of the indoor temperature is located, and the air conditioner is controlled to start up and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage.

[0144] Through the system setting button, one-key control of the air conditioner is achieved, so that when the obtained indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is determined according to the time period set by the system in which the moment of the indoor temperature is located, and the air conditioner is controlled to start up and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage.

[0145] Wherein, the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature refers to the moment corresponding to the event that the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold.

[0146] The user clicks the "Time Period Selection" button to set a time period. First, click the "Time Period Selection" button once, and then click the up and down buttons on the remote control to determine the start time of the time period. When the start time number on the display panel stops flashing and the end time number on the display panel starts to flash, click the up and down buttons on the remote control to determine the end time of the time period. Then, by continuously clicking the "Time Period Selection" button twice in sequence and then clicking the "Timing" button, determine the timing duration when the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature threshold during this time period. If you want to add a time period, you can continue to complete the operation through the above steps. If the user wants to reset the time period, long press the "Time Period Selection" button for more than 5 seconds to complete the reset operation of the set time period.

[0147] The user can customize the night time period and the corresponding timing durations for different time periods. For example, the user sets two time periods: from 2 am to 4 am and from 4 am to 8 am at night. When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the time period corresponding to the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is from 2 am to 4 am at night, and the set timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is 1.5 h. The time period corresponding to the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is from 4 am to 8 am at night, and the set timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is 1 h.

[0148] The remote control can also be set with user-defined buttons, such as the "Personalization" button. Through the "Personalization" button, one-key control of the air conditioner can be achieved, so that when the obtained indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is determined according to the user-set time period corresponding to the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature, and the air conditioner is controlled to start up and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage.

[0149] In addition, the night time period and the corresponding timing durations for different time periods can also be set by the system. For example, the system sets three time periods: from 1 am to 3 am, from 3 am to 5 am, and from 5 am to 7 am at night. When the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the time period corresponding to the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is from 1 am to 3 am at night, and the set timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is 2 h. The time period corresponding to the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is from 3 am to 5 am at night, and the set timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is 1 h. The time period corresponding to the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is from 5 am to 7 am at night, and the set timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is 30 min.

[0150] The remote controller can also be provided with system setting buttons, such as a "Comfort Intelligence" button. Through the "Comfort Intelligence" button, one-key control of the air conditioner can be achieved, so that when the indoor temperature obtained by the air conditioner is greater than the set temperature threshold, the timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is determined according to the system setting period at the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature, and the air conditioner is controlled to start up and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage.

[0151] By adopting the technical solution of the present invention, the time period selection buttons of the air conditioner remote controller allow the user to select or adjust multiple different time periods and the corresponding timing duration for each time period; the user setting button and the system setting button can achieve one-key control of the air conditioner, so that when the indoor temperature obtained by the air conditioner is greater than the set temperature threshold, the timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is determined according to the time period at the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature, and the air conditioner is controlled to start up and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage. The remote controller is easy to operate. By controlling the air conditioner with this remote controller, the redundant operation duration of the air conditioner at night can be reduced through the time period-differentiated timing strategy, and while ensuring the sleep continuity of the user, the dual improvements of energy efficiency and comfort are realized.

[0152] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a storage medium corresponding to the control method of the air conditioner. The storage medium includes a stored program, wherein when the program runs, the device where the storage medium is located is controlled to execute the above-mentioned control method of the air conditioner.

[0154] By adopting the technical solution of the present invention, when the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, the timing duration required for the air conditioner to operate is determined according to the time period at the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature, and the air conditioner is controlled to start up and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage. Thus, through the time period-differentiated timing strategy, the redundant operation duration of the air conditioner at night can be reduced, and while ensuring the sleep continuity of the user, the dual improvements of energy efficiency and comfort are realized.

[0155] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a computer program product corresponding to the control method of the air conditioner. The computer program product includes a computer program, and when the computer program product is processed and executed, the steps of the above-mentioned control method of the air conditioner are realized.

[0156] Since the processing and functions implemented by the computer program product of this embodiment are basically corresponding to the embodiments, principles, and examples of the foregoing method, for the details not described in the description of this embodiment, reference may be made to the relevant descriptions in the foregoing embodiments, which will not be elaborated herein.

[0157] Adopting the technical solution of the present invention, when the indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold, determine the timing duration for which the air conditioner needs to operate according to the time period in which the corresponding moment of the indoor temperature is located, and control the air conditioner to start up, and operate for the timing duration with the control strategy before the stop operation stage.
