Description

Technical Field

[0002] Currently, the air outlet modes of air conditioner indoor units basically adopt a single air outlet position method, which can only blow air upwards or downwards; with such an air outlet method, whether in the cooling or heating mode, the air outlet direction is generally the same. If the conventional downward air outlet method is adopted, cold air will blow directly at people at a certain angle. Moreover, theoretically, the density of cold air is greater than that of hot air, so the upward air outlet method is more suitable; when the temperature sensation of a person's feet is higher than that of the head, the comfort of the person is better, so hot air is more suitable for the downward air outlet method.

[0003] To improve the comfort of air supply, related technologies disclose an air conditioner indoor hanging unit, which includes a hanging unit body and an air supply mixing component. The hanging unit body further includes a wind deflector, which is installed at the main air supply outlet, and the horizontal plane of the wind deflector is perpendicular to the plane where the main air supply outlet is located. The flow direction of the air sent from the main air supply outlet to the room is parallel to the horizontal plane of the wind deflector, so that at least part of the air sent from the main air supply outlet can enter the mixed-flow cross-flow component, and the air after heat exchange is mixed with the indoor air without heat exchange and then sent to the room again.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that at least the following problems exist in the related technologies:

[0005] In the related technologies, strong cooling or heating air supply is formed at the main air supply outlet, and at the same time, comfortable cooling or heating air supply can be formed at the mixed air outlet of the air supply mixing component, forming a stratified air supply mode. It is impossible to adjust the air supply uniformity for different zones in the room, and the comfort still cannot meet the requirements.

[0078] Figure 3 、 4 is the overall schematic diagram of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0079] Combined Figure 3 、 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit and the outdoor unit are connected by an on-line pipe to realize the circulation of the refrigerant between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit.

[0080] The indoor unit includes a heat exchange main body 1 and a uniform air arm 2.

[0081] The heat exchange main body 1 includes a heat exchange housing 11 and a heat exchanger 15 arranged in the heat exchange housing 11. The heat exchange housing 11 is provided with a heat exchange air outlet 12 for blowing out the heat exchange air. Specifically, the heat exchange main body 1 further includes a fan, and the heat exchange housing 11 is also provided with a heat exchange air inlet. Driven by the fan, air enters from the heat exchange air inlet, exchanges heat with the heat exchanger 15 to form heat exchange air, and the heat exchange air is blown out from the heat exchange air outlet 12.

[0082] The uniform air arm 2 is arranged outside the heat exchange housing 11 and at the heat exchange air outlet 12. Here, it can be understood that the uniform air arm 2 is arranged near the heat exchange air outlet 12, and the distance from the heat exchange air outlet 12 is relatively small. The uniform air arm 2 includes a uniform air housing 21 and a uniform air component 22 arranged in the uniform air housing 21. The uniform air housing 21 is provided with a uniform air inlet 213 and a uniform air outlet 214. The uniform air component 22 is used to introduce the indoor air to the heat exchange air outlet 12, and mix it with the air at the heat exchange air outlet 12 and then blow it out.

[0083] Optionally, as Figure 3 shown, the heat exchange housing 11 includes an upper air outlet edge 121 and a lower air outlet edge 122 that form a heat exchange air outlet 12.

[0084] Among them, the air distribution arm 2 is arranged above the upper air outlet edge 121; alternatively, the air distribution arm 2 is arranged below the lower air outlet edge 122.

[0085] Driven by the air distribution component 22, the indoor induced air is mixed with the heat exchange air blown out from the heat exchange air outlet 12, improving the air supply comfort of the indoor unit. Comfortable air is formed in the heating mode, warm and not dry. Especially in the cooling mode, comfortable soft air is formed, cool and not cold, and it can also delay the landing time of the cold air blown out from the heat exchange air outlet 12, preventing the cold air from blowing directly.

[0086] Optionally, the heat exchange housing 11 includes a heat exchange bottom shell 13, and the heat exchange air outlet 12 is located on the front side of the heat exchange bottom shell 13; among them, the air distribution arm 2 is arranged on the heat exchange bottom shell 13.

[0087] In this solution, the air distribution arm 2 is arranged at the rear side of the heat exchange air outlet 12, so that the indoor induced air blown out from the air distribution air outlet 214 blows forward towards the heat exchange air outlet 12, thereby driving the overall heat exchange air to blow forward, without affecting the air supply direction of the indoor unit forward.

[0088] Optionally, the air distribution arm 2 is arranged below the heat exchange air outlet 12, that is, the air distribution arm 2 is lower than the heat exchange air outlet 12.

[0089] The air distribution air outlet 214 faces the heat exchange air outlet 12, and the indoor induced air blown out from the air distribution air outlet 214 blows upward towards the heat exchange air outlet 12, so that in the cooling mode, the landing time of the cold air can be delayed, preventing the cold air from blowing directly, and at the same time increasing the cold air supply distance to achieve uniform indoor temperature.

[0090] As Figure 3 shown, the air distribution arm 2 is arranged below the heat exchange bottom shell 13.

[0091] In this solution, the indoor induced air blown out from the air distribution air outlet 214 blows upward towards the heat exchange air outlet 12, thereby delaying the landing time of the cold air.

[0092] Optionally, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes a connecting arm, and the connecting arm connects the air distribution arm 2 and the heat exchange housing 11 to realize the connection between the air distribution arm 2 and the heat exchange housing 11.

[0093] In some embodiments, the heat exchange housing 11 includes a heat exchange bottom shell 13, and a passive induced air spacing is provided between the air outlet top of the air distribution air outlet 214 and the heat exchange bottom shell 13, so that the indoor air at the rear of the air distribution arm 2 is mixed with the heat exchange air through the passive induced air spacing.

[0094] Specifically, a wind deflector is provided at the heat exchange air outlet 12 of the air conditioner indoor unit. During the operation of the air conditioner indoor unit, when the angle between the wind deflector and the horizontal plane is 30°, the air volume of the heat exchange air at this time is 693 m 3 / h, and the active air volume equalization air volume at this time is 87 m 3 / h, and the passive air volume equalization air volume is 5.4 m 3 / h, and the heat exchange air flow, the active air volume equalization air flow, and the passive air volume equalization air flow are all relatively stable, and the mixing is also relatively uniform. When the angle between the wind deflector and the horizontal plane is 10°, the air volume of the heat exchange air at this time is 486 m 3 / h, and the active air volume equalization air volume at this time is 88 m 3 / h, and the passive air volume equalization air volume is 5.3 m 3 / h. By comparing the situations of each air flow at different angles formed by the wind deflector and the horizontal plane, it can be seen that different angles formed by the wind deflector and the horizontal plane will affect the air volume of the heat exchange air, but will not affect the air volumes of the active air volume equalization and the passive air volume equalization. Further, the active air volume equalization and the passive air volume equalization can reduce the return vortex below the wind deflector.

[0095] Optionally, as in Figure 4 , in the initial position, the angle A between the equalizing air upper surface 211 of the air volume equalizing housing 21 and the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to 10°.

[0096] With such a setting, setting the angle between the equalizing air upper surface 211 and the horizontal plane to be greater than or equal to 10° can make the equalizing air outlet 214 face the heat exchange air outlet 12, so that the air blown out from the equalizing air outlet 214 can be more effectively mixed with the heat exchange air.

[0097] Optionally, the air volume equalizing member 22 includes a plurality of air volume equalizing fans.

[0098] The indoor air is introduced from the air volume equalizing air inlet 213 and flows out from the air volume equalizing air outlet 214 by the rotation of the air volume equalizing fans. The air volume equalizing member 22 is in the form of a fan, which can not only realize the function of the air volume equalizing member 22, but also has a low cost.

[0099] Optionally, the plurality of air volume equalizing fans are arranged side by side or staggered.

[0100] Arranging the plurality of air volume equalizing fans side by side can extend the length of the air volume equalizing arm 2, and arranging the plurality of air volume equalizing fans staggered can extend the width of the air volume equalizing arm 2, so as to increase the air volume of the indoor air introduced by the air volume equalizing arm 2 into the heat exchange air outlet 12 and improve the air supply comfort.

[0101] Optionally, the plurality of air volume equalizing fans are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the air volume equalizing air outlet 214 (or the heat exchange air outlet 12).

[0102] A plurality of air - equalizing fans are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the air - equalizing air outlet 214, so that indoor induced air can flow out at each position in the length direction of the air - equalizing air outlet 214 under the drive of the corresponding air - equalizing fan.

[0103] Optionally, the plurality of air - equalizing fans are divided into multiple groups, with at least one air - equalizing fan in each group. The multiple groups of air - equalizing fans are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the heat - exchange air outlet 12, so as to increase the total width of all the air - equalizing air outlets 214 and enlarge the air - outlet area of the air - equalizing air outlets 214; for example, the left air - equalizing fan and the right air - equalizing fan arranged in sequence along the width direction of the heat - exchange air outlet 12.

[0104] Optionally, the air - equalizing fans in adjacent two groups are arranged oppositely, which can make the air - outlet directions of the air - equalizing air outlets 214 corresponding to each air - equalizing fan more consistent.

[0105] Or, the air - equalizing fans in adjacent two groups are arranged staggeredly, which can improve the layout compactness of the plurality of air - equalizing fans and reduce the volume of the air - equalizing arm 2.

[0106] Optionally, a partition is provided between adjacent two air - equalizing fans, so that the air inlets and outlets of adjacent two air - equalizing fans do not affect each other.

[0107] Optionally, the air - equalizing component 22 includes an axial - flow fan. Among them, the air - outlet direction of the axial - flow fan is perpendicular to the air - equalizing upper surface 211 of the air - equalizing housing 21.

[0108] With such a setting, when the axial - flow fan rotates forward in the first mode, indoor air can be introduced from the air - equalizing lower surface 212 and blown out from the air - equalizing upper surface 211. At this time, the actual air - outlet of the air - equalizing arm is the air - equalizing air outlet 214, which can make the indoor induced air blown out from the actual air - outlet of the air - equalizing arm blow towards the heat - exchange air outlet 12 to realize the mixing with the heat - exchange air. When the axial - flow fan rotates backward in the second mode, the air at the heat - exchange air outlet can be inhaled from the air - equalizing upper surface 211 of the air - equalizing arm and sent out from the air - equalizing lower surface 212 of the air - equalizing arm. At this time, the actual air - outlet of the air - equalizing arm is the air - equalizing air inlet 213. The improvement of the air - supply distance can be realized.

[0109] Optionally, the air - equalizing air outlet 214 of the air - equalizing arm 2 is inclined towards the heat - exchange air outlet 12.

[0110] With such a setting, the indoor induced air blown out from the air - equalizing air outlet 214 of the air - equalizing arm 2 can directly flow towards the heat - exchange air outlet 12 to be mixed with the heat - exchange air, reduce the wind resistance caused when the indoor induced air passes through the air - equalizing air outlet 214, increase the mixing degree of the indoor induced air and the heat - exchange air, and make the air - equalizing effect better.

[0111] Optionally, the air distribution housing 21 includes an oppositely arranged air distribution upper surface 211 and an air distribution lower surface 212. The air distribution air inlet 213 is arranged on the air distribution lower surface 212, and the air distribution air outlet 214 is arranged on the air distribution upper surface 211.

[0112] Optionally, the air distribution member 22 includes a plurality of centrifugal fans. In other embodiments, it may also include one or more of an axial flow fan, a cross-flow fan, etc.

[0113] Optionally, along the direction from the rear to the front, the air distribution upper surface 211 slopes downward, so that the air distribution air outlet 214 arranged on the air distribution upper surface 211 slopes towards the heat exchange air outlet 12.

[0114] Optionally, the included angle between the air distribution upper surface 211 and the horizontal plane ranges from 5° to 45°.

[0115] When the included angle between the air distribution upper surface 211 and the horizontal plane is less than 5°, the inclination degree of the air distribution upper surface 211 is low, and the contact area between the indoor induced air blown out from the air distribution air outlet 214 and the heat exchange air is small, affecting the mixing degree of the two; when the included angle between the air distribution upper surface 211 and the horizontal plane is greater than 45°, when the wind speed of the indoor induced air is constant, the upward component of the wind speed of the indoor induced air blown out from the air distribution air outlet 214 is small, and the elevation effect on the heat exchange air will decrease.

[0116] Next, the control method of the above air conditioner will be described.

[0117] Figure 5a It is a schematic flowchart of a control method for an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to the above air conditioner with an air distribution arm. The control method for the air conditioner can be executed by the processor of the air conditioner, or can be executed in a server, such as a cloud server communicating with the air conditioner; it can also be executed at a terminal device, such as a control terminal of a smart phone, a smart home appliance device, etc. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the processor of the air conditioner is used as the execution subject to describe the solution.

[0118] As Figure 5a shown, the control method for the air conditioner includes:

[0119] Step S501, the processor obtains the indoor air conditioning demand.

[0120] Step S502, when the indoor air conditioning demand is for uniform indoor air supply, the processor obtains a plurality of indoor ambient temperatures and determines the indoor average ambient temperature; the plurality of indoor ambient temperatures at least include the left ambient temperature and the right ambient temperature.

[0121] Step S503: The processor determines the control strategy for the air distribution component based on the left ambient temperature, the right ambient temperature, and the indoor average ambient temperature to achieve different air supply effects.

[0122] Here, multiple indoor ambient temperatures can be obtained through multiple temperature sensors set indoors, or through temperature sensors with long-distance temperature measurement functions set on the air conditioner. They can also be obtained through sensors set on other smart home appliances that are set in the current space and communicate with the air conditioner. Among them, the left ambient temperature refers to the temperature detection value of the space on the left side of the air conditioner, such as the average value of the detection values of multiple temperature sensors in the left space; the right ambient temperature refers to the temperature detection value of the space on the right side of the air conditioner, such as the average value of the detection values of multiple temperature sensors in the right space.

[0123] The control strategy for the air distribution component includes the setting method for the operating parameters of the air distribution component. Different operating parameters correspond to different air distribution intensities and air distribution methods, causing changes in the air supply effect of the air conditioner. Optionally, it includes the adjustment of one or more of the air volume, air speed, and air direction.

[0124] The embodiment of the present disclosure is based on an air conditioner structure with an air distribution arm set at the heat exchange air outlet of the air conditioner, which realizes guiding the indoor air to the air outlet and blowing it out after mixing with the air at the air outlet. And, in the case of having a demand for uniform indoor air supply, according to the temperature conditions of different zones, the control strategy of the air distribution component is adjusted to achieve different air supply effects. Through the single-side and multi-side adjustment of the operation of the air distribution component, the air supply adjustment of different zones in the indoor space is realized, accelerating the indoor temperature uniformity, and improving the overall air supply comfort effect of the air conditioner.

[0125] Optionally, determining the control strategy for the air distribution component according to the left ambient temperature, the right ambient temperature, and the indoor average ambient temperature includes:

[0126] Obtaining a first difference between the left ambient temperature and the indoor average ambient temperature, a second difference between the right ambient temperature and the indoor average ambient temperature, and a third difference between the left ambient temperature and the right ambient temperature;

[0127] Determine the control strategy for the air distribution component according to one or more of the first difference, the second difference, and the third difference.

[0128] Here, by obtaining the first difference between the left ambient temperature and the indoor average ambient temperature, the temperature difference state of the left ambient relative to the indoor average ambient is determined.

[0129] By obtaining the second difference between the right ambient temperature and the indoor average temperature, the temperature difference state of the right ambient relative to the indoor average ambient is determined.

[0130] Determine the temperature difference state between the left environment and the right environment by obtaining the third difference between the left ambient temperature and the right ambient temperature.

[0131] In this way, through the first difference, the second difference, and the third difference, the temperature difference states of different zones in the room can be determined. Furthermore, according to the temperature conditions of different zones, the control strategy of the air distribution component can be adjusted to achieve different air supply effects.

[0132] Furthermore, determine the control strategy of the air distribution component according to the first difference, the second difference, and the third difference, including:

[0133] When △T1 > Ts1, and △T2 > Ts1, and △T3 > Ts2, determine the control strategy of the air distribution component according to the difference interval where the first difference is located and the difference interval where the second difference is located;

[0134] When △T1 ≤ Ts1, or △T2 ≤ Ts1, or △T3 ≤ Ts2, determine the operation strategy of the air distribution component according to the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature;

[0135] Wherein, △T1 is the first difference, △T2 is the second difference, △T3 is the third difference, Ts1 is the first threshold, Ts2 is the second threshold, and Ts1 < Ts2.

[0136] When △T1 > Ts1, and △T2 > Ts1, and △T3 > Ts2, the temperature difference between different zones in the room is relatively large. To meet the purpose of uniform air supply adjustment, it is necessary to control the operation strategy of the air distribution component to be able to achieve the air supply settings for different zones, improve the air supply mixing ability, and strengthen the adjustment intensity of the indoor temperature uniformity.

[0137] When △T1 ≤ Ts1, or △T2 ≤ Ts1, or △T3 ≤ Ts2, the temperature difference between different zones in the room is relatively small. Determining the operation strategy of the air distribution component according to the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature can achieve the uniform air supply setting for the overall indoor environment. The temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature is used to reflect the adjustment intensity of the current air conditioner on the indoor environment. The larger the value of the temperature difference, the stronger the adjustment intensity of the air conditioner on the indoor environment.

[0138] The corresponding relationship between the difference interval and the operation strategy of the air distribution component can be in the form of a one-to-one correspondence data table. In this case, the corresponding relationship between the difference interval and the operation strategy of the air distribution component can be stored in the database in advance. After obtaining the first difference and the second difference, by querying the database, the operation strategy of the air distribution component corresponding to the difference interval where the first difference and the second difference are located can be obtained.

[0139] The operating parameters of the air - equalizing component include one or more parameters among the number of operating air - equalizing components and the operating speed.

[0140] In this embodiment, the air - equalizing component includes a plurality of air - equalizing fans, and the target operating parameters include the operating speeds of a plurality of centrifugal fans. The higher the operating speed, the greater the corresponding air volume induced.

[0141] Here, by determining the operating strategy related to the operating information of the air - equalizing component, a air - supply mode adaptable to the temperature difference can be achieved.

[0142] Specifically, according to the difference interval where the first difference is located and the difference interval where the second difference is located, determine the control strategy of the air - equalizing component, including:

[0143] When △T1>Ts2, control the left - hand air - equalizing component to operate according to the first operating parameter;

[0144] When △T1≤Ts2, control the left - hand air - equalizing component to operate according to the second operating parameter;

[0145] When △T2>Ts2, control the right - hand air - equalizing component to operate according to the first operating parameter;

[0146] When △T2≤Ts2, control the right - hand air - equalizing component to operate according to the second operating parameter;

[0147] Among them, the air volume induced corresponding to the first operating parameter is greater than the air volume induced corresponding to the second operating parameter; Ts1>Ts2.

[0148] Figure 5b Shows the relative positions of the left - hand air - equalizing component and the right - hand air - equalizing component on the air - equalizing arm. The left - hand air - equalizing component 22a refers to the air - equalizing component on the air - equalizing arm corresponding to the left - hand environment of the air conditioner; the right - hand air - equalizing component 22b refers to the air - equalizing component corresponding to the right - hand environment of the air conditioner.

[0149] When △T1>Ts2, the temperature difference between the left - hand environment temperature and the indoor average environment temperature is relatively large. By adjusting the operating parameters of the left - hand air - equalizing component and increasing its air volume induced, the uniform adjustment of the indoor environment can be accelerated. In this embodiment, controlling the left - hand air - equalizing component to operate according to the first operating parameter includes: controlling the fan speed of the left - hand air - equalizing component to be R1. In this embodiment, R1 = 34m 3 / h.

[0150] When △T1≤Ts2, the temperature difference between the left - hand environment temperature and the indoor average environment temperature is relatively small. At this time, by adjusting the operating parameters of the left - hand air - equalizing component and reducing its air volume induced, the adjustment speed of the uniform air - supply of the indoor environment can be increased. In this embodiment, controlling the left - hand air - equalizing component to operate according to the second operating parameter includes: controlling the fan speed of the left - hand air - equalizing component to be R2, and R2<R1. In this embodiment, R2 = 0.

[0151] When △T2 > Ts2, the temperature difference between the right - hand side environmental temperature and the indoor average environmental temperature is relatively large. By adjusting the operating parameters of the right - hand side air - distributing component and increasing its air intake volume, the uniform adjustment of the indoor environment can be accelerated. In this embodiment, controlling the right - hand side air - distributing component to operate according to the first operating parameter includes: controlling the fan speed of the right - hand side air - distributing component to be R1. In this embodiment, R1 = 34m 3 / h.

[0152] When △T2 ≤ Ts2, the temperature difference between the right - hand side environmental temperature and the indoor average environmental temperature is relatively small. At this time, by adjusting the operating parameters of the right - hand side air - distributing component and reducing its air intake volume, the adjustment speed of the uniform air supply in the indoor environment can be increased. In this embodiment, controlling the right - hand side air - distributing component to operate according to the second operating parameter includes: controlling the fan speed of the right - hand side air - distributing component to be R2, where R2 < R1. In this embodiment, R2 = 0.

[0153] Thus, when determining the control strategy of the air - distributing component according to the difference interval where the first difference is located and the difference interval where the second difference is located, it includes at least four operating states:

[0154] In the case where △T1 > Ts2 and △T2 > Ts2, control the fan speed of the left - hand side air - distributing component to be R1 and control the fan speed of the right - hand side air - distributing component to be R1;

[0155] In the case where △T1 > Ts2 and △T2 ≤ Ts2, control the fan speed of the left - hand side air - distributing component to be R1 and control the fan speed of the right - hand side air - distributing component to be R2;

[0156] In the case where △T1 ≤ Ts2 and △T2 > Ts2, control the fan speed of the left - hand side air - distributing component to be R2 and control the fan speed of the right - hand side air - distributing component to be R1;

[0157] In the case where △T1 ≤ Ts2 and △T2 ≤ Ts2, control the fan speed of the left - hand side air - distributing component to be R2 and control the fan speed of the right - hand side air - distributing component to be R2.

[0158] Specifically, determining the operating strategy of the air - distributing component according to the difference between the indoor environmental temperature and the set temperature includes:

[0159] When △T > T3, control the air - distributing component to operate according to the third operating parameter;

[0160] When △T ≤ T3, control the air - distributing component to operate according to the fourth operating parameter;

[0161] Among them, △T is the temperature difference, and T3 is the third temperature threshold; the air intake volume corresponding to the third operating parameter is less than the air intake volume corresponding to the fourth operating parameter.

[0162] When △T > T3, the air supply operation of the air conditioner mainly focuses on quickly adjusting the indoor environmental temperature. Therefore, the target operating parameters of the air distribution component are set to the third operating parameters with a lower air intake volume. Optionally, the target operating parameters of the air distribution component are the third operating parameters, including: controlling the rotational speed of the centrifugal fan of the air distribution component to be R3. In this embodiment, R3 = 0.

[0163] When △T ≤ T3, the demand for temperature adjustment in the air supply operation of the air conditioner decreases, and the demand for air distribution adjustment increases. Therefore, the target operating parameters of the air distribution component are set to the fourth operating parameters with a higher air intake volume. Optionally, the target operating parameters of the air distribution component are the fourth operating parameters, including: controlling the rotational speed of the centrifugal fan of the air distribution component to be R4, where R4 > R3. In this embodiment, R4 = 34m 3 / h.

[0164] The embodiment of the present disclosure is based on an air conditioner structure with an air distribution arm arranged at the heat exchange air outlet of the air conditioner, which realizes guiding the indoor air to the air outlet and blowing it out after mixing with the air at the air outlet. Moreover, in the case of having a demand for uniform indoor air supply, according to the temperature conditions of different zones, the control strategy of the air distribution component is adjusted to achieve different air supply effects. By unidirectional and multi-directional adjustment of the operation of the air distribution component, the air supply adjustment of different zones in the indoor space is further realized, accelerating the indoor temperature uniformity, and improving the overall air supply comfort effect of the air conditioner.

[0165] Figure 6 It is a schematic flowchart of another control method for an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to the above-mentioned air conditioner with an air distribution arm.

[0166] The control method for the air conditioner includes:

[0167] Step S601, the air conditioner obtains the indoor air conditioning demand.

[0168] Step S602, when the indoor air conditioning demand is for uniform indoor air supply, the air conditioner obtains multiple indoor environmental temperatures and determines the indoor average environmental temperature; the multiple indoor environmental temperatures at least include the left environmental temperature and the right environmental temperature.

[0169] Step S603, obtain the first difference between the left environmental temperature and the indoor average environmental temperature, the second difference between the right environmental temperature and the indoor average environmental temperature, and the third difference between the left environmental temperature and the right environmental temperature.

[0170] Step S604, when △T1 > Ts1, and △T2 > Ts1, and △T3 > Ts2, determine the control strategy of the air distribution component according to the difference interval where the first difference is located and the difference interval where the second difference is located.

[0171] Step S605, when △T1 > Ts2, control the left air distribution member to operate at the first rotational speed; when △T1 ≤ Ts2, control the left air distribution member to operate at the second rotational speed; when △T2 > Ts2, control the right air distribution member to operate at the first rotational speed; when △T2 ≤ Ts2, control the right air distribution member to operate at the second rotational speed. In this embodiment, the first rotational speed is greater than the second rotational speed.

[0172] Step S606, in the case where △T1 ≤ Ts1, or △T2 ≤ Ts1, or △T3 ≤ Ts2, determine the operation strategy of the air distribution member according to the difference between the indoor environmental temperature and the set temperature.

[0173] Step S607, when △T > T3, control the air distribution member to operate at the third rotational speed, take the initial operating position as the second target position of the air distribution arm, and control the air conditioner fan to operate at the second fan rotational speed. In this embodiment, the rotational speed corresponding to the third rotational speed is 0; the second fan rotational speed is 900m 3 / h.

[0174] Figure 7a The schematic diagram showing the air distribution arm in the initial operating position is shown. The initial operating position is the position where the included angle between the air distribution upper surface of the air distribution arm and the horizontal plane is 10°.

[0175] Step S608, when T4 ≤ △T ≤ T3, control the air distribution member to operate at the fourth rotational speed, take the first preset position as the second target position, and control the air conditioner fan to operate at the second fan rotational speed. In this embodiment, the rotational speed corresponding to the fourth rotational speed is 34m 3 / h; the first preset position is the position where the included angle between the air distribution upper surface of the air distribution arm and the horizontal plane is 20°, and the second rotational speed is 900m 3 / h.

[0176] Figure 7b The schematic diagram showing the air distribution arm in the first preset position is shown. When the air distribution arm is in this position, the air distribution air outlet of the air distribution arm is directly opposite to the heat exchange air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0177] Step S609, in the case where △T < T4, control the air distribution member to operate at the fourth rotational speed, take the second preset position as the second target position, and control the air conditioner fan to operate at the second fan rotational speed. In this embodiment, the second preset position is the position where the included angle between the air distribution upper surface of the air distribution arm and the horizontal plane is 15°.

[0178] Figure 7c The schematic diagram showing the air distribution arm in the second preset position is shown. When the air distribution arm is in this position, it can assist in realizing long-distance air supply and further improve the air distribution effect.

[0179] When the air - equalizing arm is in the initial position, the air - equalizing component is not opened, which is the passive air - equalizing mode. When the air - equalizing arm is in modes such as rotating 20° counter - clockwise and 15° counter - clockwise, the air - equalizing component is opened, which is the active air - equalizing mode. It increases the air - equalizing volume, provides comfortable soft wind, makes the wind cool but not cold, delays the cold wind from reaching the ground, and prevents the cold wind from blowing on people. It can change the direction of the cold wind blown out by the air conditioner, and can also increase the air - supply distance, avoid direct blowing of the cold wind, and accelerate the uniformity of the indoor temperature at the same time. In the heating mode, the air - equalizing arm rotates 90° counter - clockwise, the diversion arm is vertical and the diversion - arm fan does not work, which does not affect the downward blowing of the hot air during air - conditioning heating, retains the passive air - equalizing, and can realize the downward blowing of the hot air close to the wall, improving the carpet - type air - supply effect. The overall air - supply comfort effect of the air conditioner is improved.

[0180] Figure 8 It is a schematic flowchart of another control method for an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to the above - mentioned air conditioner with an air - equalizing arm.

[0181] Step S801, obtain the indoor air - conditioning scenario; the air - conditioning scenario at least includes the air - conditioning scenario on the left side of the air conditioner and the air - conditioning scenario on the right side of the air conditioner. The air - conditioning scenario may include a sleep scenario, a leisure scenario, and a fitness scenario.

[0182] The acquisition of the air - conditioning scenario can be determined by the operating mode of the air conditioner or by the acquisition of indoor voice.

[0183] When determining the air - conditioning scenario through indoor voice, it includes:

[0184] Obtain available voice information; the available voice information. Here, the available voice information refers to the voice information that is helpful for determining the current air - conditioning scenario after screening the acquired voice signal.

[0185] Determine the corresponding air - conditioning scenario according to the corresponding relationship between the available voice information and the air - conditioning scenario;

[0186] Determine that the air - conditioning scenario is the left - side air - conditioning scenario, or the right - side air - conditioning scenario, or the whole - house air - conditioning scenario according to the acquisition direction of the available voice information.

[0187] The corresponding relationship between the available voice information and the air - conditioning scenario can be in the form of a one - to - one correspondence data table. In this case, the corresponding relationship between the available voice information and the air - conditioning scenario can be stored in the database in advance. After obtaining the available voice information, by querying the database, the air - conditioning scenario corresponding to the available voice information can be obtained.

[0188] For example, when the obtained available voice information is that the spatial decibel is continuously less than the first decibel and the acquisition direction of the available voice information is on the left side, the corresponding left - side air - conditioning scenario is the sleep scenario.

[0189] Optionally, determine the air conditioning scenario based on the operating mode of the air conditioner, including:

[0190] Obtain the operating mode of the current air conditioner and the user's location;

[0191] Determine the corresponding air conditioning scenario according to the operating mode of the current air conditioner and the user's location.

[0192] For example, when the operating mode of the air conditioner is the sleep mode and the user's location is on the left side of the air conditioner, the air conditioning scenario on the left side is the sleep scenario. When the operating mode of the air conditioner is the fitness mode and the user's location is on the right side of the air conditioner, the air conditioning scenario on the right side is the fitness scenario.

[0193] The air conditioning scenario on the left side refers to the air conditioning scenario of the space on the left side of the air conditioner. For example, if the left space is the living room area, the air conditioning scenario corresponding to the available voice information is the leisure scenario.

[0194] The air conditioning scenario on the right side refers to the air conditioning scenario of the space on the right side of the air conditioner. For example, if the right space is the bedroom area, the air conditioning scenario corresponding to the available voice information is the sleep scenario.

[0195] Step S802, when the air conditioning scenario on the left side of the air conditioner is the same as the air conditioning scenario on the right side of the air conditioner, determine that the indoor air conditioning demand is uniform indoor air supply.

[0196] Step S803, when the indoor air conditioning demand is uniform indoor air supply, obtain multiple indoor environmental temperatures and determine the average indoor environmental temperature; the multiple indoor environmental temperatures include at least the left environmental temperature and the right environmental temperature.

[0197] Step S804, determine the control strategy of the air distribution component according to the left environmental temperature, the right environmental temperature, and the average indoor environmental temperature to achieve different air supply effects.

[0198] Step S805, when the air conditioning scenario on the left side of the air conditioner is different from the air conditioning scenario on the right side of the air conditioner, determine that the indoor air conditioning demand is non-uniform air supply.

[0199] Step S806, when the indoor air conditioning demand is non-uniform air supply, determine the control strategy of the air distribution component according to the corresponding air conditioning scenario to achieve the corresponding air supply effect.

[0200] Optionally, determining the control strategy of the air distribution component according to the corresponding air conditioning scenario includes:

[0201] When the air conditioning scenario on the left side of the air conditioner or the air conditioning scenario on the right side of the air conditioner is the sleep scenario, control the air distribution component to stop running.

[0202] When the air conditioning scenario on the left side or the right side of the air conditioner is in the leisure mode, control the air distribution component on the corresponding side to stop running.

[0203] When the air conditioning scenario on the left side or the right side of the air conditioner is in the fitness mode, control the air distribution component on the corresponding side to start running.

[0204] In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure is based on the air conditioner structure with an air distribution arm arranged at the heat exchange air outlet of the air conditioner, which can lead the indoor air to the air outlet and blow it out after mixing with the air at the air outlet. After determining the indoor air conditioning scenario, the corresponding air conditioning requirements can be determined according to the air conditioning scenarios in different zones, and then the control strategy of the air distribution component can be adjusted according to different air conditioning requirements to achieve different air supply effects. By unidirectional or multi-directional adjustment of the operation of the air distribution component, the air supply adjustment of different zones in the indoor space can be realized, accelerating the indoor temperature uniformity and improving the overall air supply comfort effect of the air conditioner.

[0205] Combined with Figure 9 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control device 900 for an air conditioner, including a first acquisition module 91, a second acquisition module 92, and an execution module 93. The first acquisition module 91 is configured to acquire the indoor air conditioning requirements; the second acquisition module 92 is configured to acquire multiple indoor environmental temperatures and determine the indoor average environmental temperature when the indoor air conditioning requirements are for uniform indoor air supply; the multiple indoor environmental temperatures at least include the left environmental temperature and the right environmental temperature; the execution module 93 is configured to determine the control strategy of the air distribution component according to the left environmental temperature, the right environmental temperature, and the indoor average environmental temperature to achieve different air supply effects.
