[0033] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, an intelligent household appliance device refers to a household appliance product formed by introducing microprocessor, sensor technology, and network communication technology into household appliance devices, which has the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent perception, and intelligent application. The operation process of intelligent household appliance devices often depends on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet, and electronic chips. For example, an intelligent household appliance device can be connected to an electronic device to achieve remote control and management of the intelligent household appliance device by the user.
[0034] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal device refers to an electronic device with a wireless connection function.

[0035] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:
[0036] S11, the air conditioner detects the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located in response to a start instruction for the clothes drying mode.
[0037] S12, the air conditioner determines a target drying strategy for drying the target clothes according to the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located.
[0038] S13, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to execute the target drying strategy.
[0039] In this solution, the air conditioner can receive a start instruction for the clothes drying mode sent by the user. Here, the user can send a start instruction for the clothes drying mode through the application program of the mobile device associated with the air conditioner, and the user can also send a start instruction for the clothes drying mode through the remote control device associated with the air conditioner. In this way, after receiving the start instruction for the clothes drying mode, the air conditioner can detect the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located in response to the start instruction for the clothes drying mode. Here, the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located can be obtained through the indoor temperature sensor associated with the air conditioner. In this way, on the premise of accurately judging the timing of obtaining the indoor ambient temperature, the accurate acquisition of the indoor ambient temperature where the air conditioner is located is realized.
[0040] Further, after obtaining the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner can determine the target drying strategy for drying the target clothing by combining various methods. In the first example, the air conditioner determines the target drying strategy for drying the target clothing according to the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located, including: the air conditioner calculates the target temperature difference value between the ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner. When the target temperature difference value is greater than the temperature difference threshold, the air conditioner determines that the target drying strategy for drying the target clothing is to control the air conditioner compressor to increase the frequency at the first frequency increase rate while controlling the air conditioner fan to increase the fan speed according to the target speed increase strategy. In this way, when the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner is large, the air conditioner compressor and the air conditioner fan can be adjusted synchronously to preferentially reduce the ambient temperature of the environment where the air conditioner is located, further improving the drying efficiency of the air conditioner. In the second example, the air conditioner determines the target drying strategy for drying the target clothing according to the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located, including: the air conditioner obtains the ambient humidity in the room where the air conditioner is located; the air conditioner determines the target drying strategy for drying the target clothing according to the ambient temperature and ambient humidity in the room where the air conditioner is located. In this way, the target drying strategy can be accurately determined by combining the ambient temperature and ambient humidity in the room where the air conditioner is located. Further, the air conditioner can control it to execute the target drying strategy.
[0041] By using the method for controlling an air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, in response to a start instruction of a clothing drying mode, the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located is detected; thereby, according to the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located, the target drying strategy for drying the target clothing is determined; and then the air conditioner is controlled to execute the target drying strategy. With this solution, the target drying strategy for drying the target clothing can be accurately determined by combining the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located, so that when controlling the air conditioner to execute the target drying strategy, the operating parameters in the clothing drying mode of the air conditioner can be accurately regulated, so as to effectively improve the drying efficiency of the clothing without affecting the user experience, and improve the drying effect of the clothing drying function of the air conditioner, meeting the user's diverse usage requirements for the functions of the air conditioner.
[0042] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a target drying strategy provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 2 As shown, optionally, in S12, the air conditioner determines the target drying strategy for drying the target clothing according to the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located, including:
[0043] In S21, the air conditioner calculates the target temperature difference value between the ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner.
[0044] In S22, when the target temperature difference value is greater than the temperature difference threshold, the air conditioner determines that the target drying strategy for drying the target clothing is to control the air conditioner compressor to increase the frequency at the first frequency increase rate while controlling the air conditioner fan to increase the fan speed according to the target speed increase strategy.
[0045] In this solution, after obtaining the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner can determine the set temperature of the air conditioner. Here, the set temperature of the air conditioner can be pre-stored in the air conditioner by the user. As an example, the set temperature of the air conditioner can be 26 °C. In this way, the air conditioner can calculate the target temperature difference value between the ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner. For example, if the ambient temperature is 28 °C and the set temperature of the air conditioner is 26 °C, the target temperature difference value between the ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner can be calculated as 2 °C.
[0046] Furthermore, the air conditioner can determine the magnitude relationship between the target temperature difference value and the temperature difference threshold. Among them, the temperature difference threshold is 3 °C. In this way, when the target temperature difference value is greater than the temperature difference threshold, it can be determined that the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner is relatively large. Then, it can be determined that the target drying strategy for drying the target clothes is to control the air conditioner compressor to increase the frequency at the first frequency increase rate while controlling the air conditioner fan to increase the fan speed according to the target speed increase strategy. Here, the first frequency increase rate is 3 Hz / min, and the target speed increase strategy is to increase the fan speed at a rate of 20 rpm per minute. With this solution, when the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner is relatively large, the air conditioner compressor and the air conditioner fan can be adjusted synchronously to preferentially reduce the ambient temperature of the environment where the air conditioner is located, further improving the clothes drying efficiency of the air conditioner.
[0047] Figure 3 is another schematic diagram of a method for determining a target drying strategy provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 3 As shown, optionally, S12. The air conditioner determines a target drying strategy for drying the target clothes according to the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located, including:
[0048] S31. The air conditioner obtains the ambient humidity in the room where the air conditioner is located.
[0049] S32. The air conditioner determines a target drying strategy for drying the target clothes according to the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity in the room where the air conditioner is located.
[0050] In this solution, the air conditioner can also collect the ambient humidity in the room where the air conditioner is located through its associated ambient humidity sensor. In this way, accurate acquisition of the ambient humidity in the room where the air conditioner is located can be achieved.
[0051] Furthermore, the air conditioner can determine a target drying strategy for drying the target clothing in combination with the ambient temperature and humidity in the room where it is located. Specifically, the air conditioner determines a target drying strategy for drying the target clothing according to the ambient temperature and humidity in the room where the air conditioner is located, including: the air conditioner calculates the target temperature difference value between the ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner. The air conditioner determines the target comparison result between the ambient humidity and the humidity threshold. The air conditioner determines a target drying strategy for drying the target clothing according to the target temperature difference value and the target comparison result. In this way, the accurate determination of the target drying strategy can be realized, providing an accurate data basis for the intelligent control of the air conditioner.
[0052] Figure 4 is another schematic diagram of a method for determining a target drying strategy provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 4 As shown, optionally, in S32, the air conditioner determines a target drying strategy for drying the target clothing according to the ambient temperature and humidity in the room where the air conditioner is located, including:
[0053] S41, the air conditioner calculates the target temperature difference value between the ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner.
[0054] S42, the air conditioner determines the target comparison result between the ambient humidity and the humidity threshold.
[0055] S43, the air conditioner determines a target drying strategy for drying the target clothing according to the target temperature difference value and the target comparison result.
[0056] In this solution, after obtaining the ambient temperature in the room where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner can determine the set temperature of the air conditioner. Here, the set temperature of the air conditioner can be pre-stored in the air conditioner by the user. As an example, the set temperature of the air conditioner can be 26°C. In this way, the air conditioner can calculate the target temperature difference value between the ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner. For example, if the ambient temperature is 28°C and the set temperature of the air conditioner is 26°C, the target temperature difference value between the ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner can be calculated as 2°C.
[0057] In this solution, after obtaining the ambient humidity in the room where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner can also determine the humidity threshold of the air conditioner. Here, the humidity threshold includes a first humidity threshold and a second humidity threshold. The first humidity threshold is 85%, and the second humidity threshold is 65%. In this way, the air conditioner can determine the target comparison result between the ambient humidity and the humidity threshold by judging the magnitude relationship among the ambient humidity in the room where the air conditioner is located, the first humidity threshold, and the second humidity threshold. Here, the target comparison result includes that the ambient humidity is greater than the first humidity threshold, the ambient humidity is greater than the second humidity threshold and less than the first humidity threshold, and the ambient humidity is less than the second humidity threshold. In this way, the accurate determination of the target comparison result can be realized.
[0058] Further, after the air conditioner determines the target temperature difference value and the target comparison result, it can determine the target drying strategy for drying the target clothes in combination with the target temperature difference value and the target comparison result. In this way, the accurate determination of the target drying strategy can be achieved, providing an accurate data basis for the intelligent control of the air conditioner.
[0059] Figure 5 is another schematic diagram of a method for determining a target drying strategy provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination Figure 5 As shown, optionally, S43. The air conditioner determines the target drying strategy for drying the target clothes according to the target temperature difference value and the target comparison result, including:
[0060] S51. When the target temperature difference value is less than the temperature difference threshold and the target comparison result indicates that the indoor humidity is high, the air conditioner determines that the target drying strategy for drying the target clothes is to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the current speed while controlling the air conditioner compressor to increase the frequency at the first frequency increase rate until the frequency increase of the air conditioner compressor reaches the first target increase.
[0061] S52. When the target temperature difference value is less than the temperature difference threshold and the target comparison result indicates that the indoor humidity is moderate, the air conditioner determines that the target drying strategy for drying the target clothes is to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the current speed while controlling the air conditioner compressor to increase the frequency at the second frequency increase rate until the frequency increase of the air conditioner compressor reaches the second target increase.
[0062] S53. When the target temperature difference value is less than the temperature difference threshold and the target comparison result indicates that the indoor humidity is low, it is determined that the target drying strategy for drying the target clothes is to control the air conditioner compressor to operate at the current frequency while controlling the air conditioner fan to increase the fan speed according to the target speed-up strategy until the speed increase of the air conditioner fan reaches the target speed increase.
[0063] In this solution, when the target result is that the environmental humidity is greater than the first humidity threshold, it is determined that the indoor humidity where the air conditioner is located is high; when the target result is that the environmental humidity is greater than the second humidity threshold and less than the first humidity threshold, it is determined that the indoor humidity where the air conditioner is located is moderate; when the target result is that the environmental humidity is less than the second humidity threshold, it is determined that the indoor humidity where the air conditioner is located is low.
[0064] In this embodiment, the temperature difference threshold is 3°C, the first frequency increase rate is greater than the second frequency increase rate. The first frequency increase rate is 3 Hz / min, and the second frequency increase rate is 1 Hz / min. The first target increment is greater than the second target increment. The first target increment is 10 Hz, and the second target increment is 7 Hz. The target speed increase strategy is to increase the fan speed of the air conditioner at a speed of 20 rpm per minute, and the target speed increment is 100 rpm. In this way, when the target temperature difference value is less than the temperature difference threshold and the target comparison result indicates that the indoor humidity is high, the air conditioner determines that the target drying strategy for drying the target clothes is to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the current speed while controlling the air conditioner compressor to increase the frequency at 3 Hz / min until the frequency increment of the air conditioner compressor reaches 10 Hz; when the target temperature difference value is less than the temperature difference threshold and the target comparison result indicates that the indoor humidity is moderate, the air conditioner determines that the target drying strategy for drying the target clothes is to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the current speed while controlling the air conditioner compressor to increase the frequency at 1 Hz / min until the frequency increment of the air conditioner compressor reaches 7 Hz; when the target temperature difference value is less than the temperature difference threshold and the target comparison result indicates that the indoor humidity is low, the target drying strategy for drying the target clothes is determined to be to control the air conditioner compressor to operate at the current frequency while controlling the air conditioner fan to increase the fan speed at a speed of 20 rpm per minute until the speed increment of the air conditioner fan reaches 100 rpm. With this solution, it is possible to accurately determine the control strategies for the air conditioner compressor and the air conditioner fan in combination with the specific situation of the indoor humidity on the premise that the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the air conditioner set temperature is not large.
[0065] Optionally, after controlling the air conditioner to execute the target drying strategy, it further includes:
[0066] The air conditioner obtains the running duration of the clothes drying mode.
[0067] When the running duration is greater than the target running duration, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to stop executing the clothes drying mode.
[0068] In this solution, the air conditioner can determine the running duration of the clothes drying mode in combination with its running information; and when the running duration is greater than the target running duration, the air conditioner controls it to stop executing the clothes drying mode. In this way, it is possible to accurately determine the stop timing of the clothes drying mode and meet the user's energy-saving control requirements for the air conditioner.
[0069] Optionally, the air conditioner can determine the target running duration in multiple ways:
[0070] In one example, the user can pre-store the running duration of the clothes drying mode in the air conditioner and use the running duration of the clothes drying mode as the target running duration. Here, the running duration of the clothes drying mode can be pre-stored in combination with the material or season of the clothes.
[0071] In another example, the air conditioner can also learn the usage habits of different users for the clothing drying mode through a neural network algorithm, and determine the target operation duration according to the learning results.
[0072] With this solution, the accurate determination of the target operation duration can be achieved through the above-mentioned various methods.
[0073] In an optimized solution, optionally, the target operation duration is determined in the following way:
[0074] The air conditioner obtains the unfolded area and weight value of the target clothing.
[0075] The air conditioner determines the target operation duration according to the unfolded area and weight value of the target clothing.
[0076] In this solution, after determining the target clothing, the air conditioner can obtain the clothing-related information associated with the target clothing. Here, the clothing-related information includes the unfolded area of the target clothing determined by the image sensor and the weight value of the target clothing determined by the weight sensor. In this way, the accurate acquisition of the unfolded area and weight value of the target clothing can be achieved.
[0077] Furthermore, the air conditioner can combine the unfolded area and weight value of the target clothing to determine the target operation duration. In one example, the air conditioner determines the target operation duration according to the unfolded area and weight value of the target clothing, including: the air conditioner determines the type to which the target clothing belongs according to the unfolded area and weight value of the target clothing; the air conditioner uses the operation duration matching the type to which the target clothing belongs as the target operation duration. Here, the type to which the target clothing belongs includes thick clothing or thin clothing. In this way, the accurate determination of the target operation duration can be achieved.
[0078] Optionally, the air conditioner determines the target operation duration according to the unfolded area and weight value of the target clothing, including:
[0079] The air conditioner determines the first drying duration according to the unfolded area of the target clothing.
[0080] The air conditioner determines the second drying duration according to the weight value of the target clothing.
[0081] The air conditioner determines the target operation duration according to the first drying duration and the second drying duration.
[0082] In this solution, the air conditioner determines the first drying duration according to the unfolded area of the target clothing, including: when the unfolded area of the target clothing is greater than the first area, determining the first drying duration as the first duration; when the unfolded area of the target clothing is greater than the second area and less than the first area, determining the first drying duration as the second duration; when the unfolded area of the target clothing is less than the second area, determining the first drying duration as the third duration. Among them, the first duration > the second duration > the third duration. As an example, the first duration is 10 hours, the second duration is 8 hours, the third duration is 5 hours, the first area is 1.5 square meters, and the second area is 1 square meter. In this way, it is possible to accurately determine the first drying duration in combination with the unfolded area of the target clothing.
[0083] In this solution, the air conditioner determines the second drying duration according to the weight value of the target clothing, including: when the weight value of the target clothing is greater than the first weight, determining the second drying duration as the fourth duration; when the weight value of the target clothing is greater than the second weight and less than the first weight, determining the second drying duration as the fifth duration; when the weight value of the target clothing is less than the second weight, determining the second drying duration as the sixth duration. Among them, the fourth duration > the fifth duration > the sixth duration. As an example, the fourth duration is 10 hours, the fifth duration is 8 hours, the sixth duration is 5 hours, the first weight is 3 kg, and the second weight is 1 kg. In this way, it is possible to accurately determine the second drying duration in combination with the weight value of the target clothing.
[0084] Furthermore, after the air conditioner determines the first drying duration and the second drying duration, it can determine the target operation duration. Specifically, the air conditioner determines the target operation duration according to the first drying duration and the second drying duration, including: the air conditioner takes the larger value of the first drying duration and the second drying duration as the target operation duration. For example, if the air conditioner determines that the first drying duration is 8 hours and the second drying duration is 6 hours, it can determine that the first drying duration > the second drying duration, and can take the first drying duration as the target operation duration. In this way, it is possible to accurately determine the target operation duration.
