Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrical appliances, and particularly to a control method, a control device and an air conditioner for an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, the wind speed control and the swing control of the air conditioner are relatively single, resulting in poor user experience, especially in terms of comfort. Specifically, when the air supply distance is different, the fixed swing mode cannot flexibly adjust the angle of the air deflector according to actual needs, making the air distribution uneven, which may cause local overcooling or overheating. In addition, a single wind speed cannot achieve the best effect, reducing the use efficiency and comfort of the air conditioning system. Furthermore, the overall comfort is affected.

[0008] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the air conditioner further includes: When the air conditioner is in the refrigeration mode or the dehumidification mode, if it is determined that the air conditioner meets the set anti-condensation condition, then control the air deflector plate of the air conditioner to execute the anti-condensation mode.

[0009] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the set anti-condensation condition includes: at least one of the air deflector plates is in the position with the minimum air outlet angle and lasts for at least the set anti-condensation duration, and the compressor runs continuously for at least the set anti-condensation duration.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the anti-condensation mode includes: controlling the air deflector plate with the minimum air outlet angle to swing cyclically and last for at least the set period, and resetting to the original air outlet angle.

[0011] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the air conditioner further includes: Obtain the current required air supply distance of the air conditioner; According to the air supply distance, control the air conditioner to execute different air outlet modes; Under different air outlet modes, control and adjust the air outlet working parameters of the air conditioner; The step of controlling the air conditioner to execute different air outlet modes according to the air supply distance specifically includes: When the air supply distance is greater than the first set distance, control the air conditioner to execute the long-distance air outlet mode; When the air supply distance is less than or equal to the first set distance and greater than the second set distance, control the air conditioner to execute the medium-distance air outlet mode; When the air supply distance is less than or equal to the second set distance, control the air conditioner to execute the short-distance air outlet mode; Wherein, the air outlet working parameters of the air conditioner include the air outlet wind speed; Then the step of controlling and adjusting the air outlet working parameters of the air conditioner under different air outlet modes specifically includes: Under the long-distance air outlet mode, control the air outlet wind speed of the air conditioner to be adjusted within the first wind speed range; Under the medium-distance air outlet mode, control the air outlet wind speed of the air conditioner to be adjusted within the second wind speed range; Under the short-distance air outlet mode, control the air outlet wind speed of the air conditioner to be adjusted within the third wind speed range; Among them, the first wind speed range is greater than the second wind speed range, and the second wind speed range is greater than the third wind speed range; And / or, the air outlet operating parameters of the air conditioner include the air outlet actions of the air deflector; Then, in different air outlet modes, the steps of controlling and adjusting the air outlet operating parameters of the air conditioner specifically include: In the long-distance air outlet mode, control the air deflector of the air conditioner to swing to the maximum air outlet angle to perform a wide-angle diffusion operation; In the medium-distance air outlet mode, control the air deflector of the air conditioner to swing to a preset air outlet angle and remain unchanged. After the indoor temperature reaches the target temperature, control the air deflector to swing at a constant speed to perform a circulating air supply operation; In the short-distance air outlet mode, control the air deflector of the air conditioner to swing to an angle facing the indoor wall to perform a ground return promotion operation.

[0014] The present invention proposes a new air conditioner health control solution. By adding functions of wind speed adjustment and swing adjustment, the problems in the related art are solved. For example, by adding a healthy air flow function, multiple air deflectors can start to swing automatically in a certain order and time difference, and can be adjusted to be consistent and then swing even if the initial angles are different, thereby realizing a more uniform air flow distribution and improving comfort and health. Further, the present invention has at least the following advantages compared with the related art.

[0015] (1)Improve comfort: By setting the healthy air flow mode, the system can intelligently control the air deflector to swing according to a certain rule, avoiding the local overcooling or overheating caused by single-direction air supply, making the distribution of hot and cold air in the room more uniform, and improving the comfort of the human body's perception.

[0016] (2)Optimize air flow: In the healthy air flow mode, when the air outlet angles of all air deflectors are the same, control each air deflector to start cyclic swinging in sequence according to a continuous and lagging time sequence. That is, the air deflectors do not swing simultaneously but start one by one, forming a wavy air supply effect, making the air flow more natural and smooth, and reducing the discomfort that may be brought by directly blowing on the human body.

[0017] (3)Intelligent adjustment: The control logic in the healthy air flow mode can make corresponding adjustments according to the actual angles of the air deflectors. If the air outlet angles of the air deflectors are not the same, the system will first adjust all air deflectors to the same angle and then execute cyclic swinging, ensuring the consistency and coordination of air supply and further enhancing the comfort of the user experience.

[0023] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present invention with reference to the drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] In the description of this specification, the descriptions referring to terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" mean that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiments of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0025] The control method, control device, and air conditioner of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Among them, before describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, the entire application scenario will be described first. The control method, control device, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium of the air conditioner according to the embodiments of the present invention can be applied not only to the local air conditioner but also to the cloud platform in the Internet field, or the cloud platform in other types of Internet fields, or can also be applied to third-party devices. Among them, the third-party devices may include various different types such as mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, in-vehicle computers, and other intelligent terminals.

[0026] Hereinafter, only the control method applicable to the air conditioner will be used as an example for illustration. It should be understood that the control method of the embodiments of the present invention can also be applied to the cloud platform and third-party devices.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the control method of the air conditioner according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: Step S1, upon receiving a signal to enter the healthy air flow mode, control the air conditioner to enter the healthy air flow mode; Step S2, in the healthy air flow mode, determine whether the air outlet angles of all air deflector plates are the same; Step S3, if they are the same, control each air deflector plate to start cyclic swinging in sequence according to a continuous and lagging time sequence.

[0028] The specific working process of the control method of the air conditioner according to the embodiments of the present invention is as follows: When the air conditioner receives a signal to enter the healthy air flow mode, the system will control the air conditioner to switch to the healthy air flow mode. At this time, the user selects the healthy air flow mode through the remote control or other input devices, and the system responds to this instruction and is ready to execute subsequent related operations.

[0029] Once the air conditioner enters the healthy air flow mode, the control system will check whether the air outlet angles of all air deflectors are the same to determine the current state of the air deflectors. In this way, subsequently, according to the different angles of the air deflectors, the system will perform different subsequent operations.

[0030] If the air outlet angles of all air deflectors are the same, then the control system will sequentially control each air deflector to start cyclic swinging, and there will be a certain lag time each time a new air deflector swing is started.

[0031] Specifically, assume there are four air deflectors numbered ①, ②, ③, and ④. First, air deflector ① starts to swing, then air deflector ② starts to swing 3 seconds after air deflector ① starts to swing, then air deflector ③ starts to swing 3 seconds after air deflector ② starts to swing, and finally air deflector ④ starts to swing 3 seconds after air deflector ③ starts to swing. In this way, the air flow flowing out of the air conditioner can be more evenly distributed, improving comfort.

[0032] In addition, if the air outlet angles of the air deflectors are different, the control system will first adjust all the air deflectors to the same angle, usually referring to the angle of air deflector ① and adjusting the other air deflectors to this position, and then perform the cyclic swinging of the air deflectors according to the above situation of the same angle.

[0033] In summary, the air conditioning system can evenly blow cold and hot air in all directions of the room in the healthy air flow mode, not only improving comfort but also being conducive to creating a healthy environment.

[0034] The air conditioner control solution proposed by the present invention solves the above problems by adding functions of air speed adjustment and swing adjustment. For example, by adding the healthy air flow function, multiple air deflectors can start to automatically swing in a certain order and time difference, and even if the initial angles are different, they can be adjusted to be the same and then swing, so as to achieve a more uniform air flow distribution, improving comfort and health.

[0035] Furthermore, the present invention has at least the following advantages compared with the related art.

[0036] (1) Improve comfort: By setting the healthy air flow mode, the system can intelligently control the air deflectors to swing according to a certain rule, avoiding the situation of local overcooling or overheating that may be caused by single-direction air supply, making the cold and hot air distribution in the room more uniform, and improving the comfort felt by the human body.

[0037] (2) Optimize air flow: In the healthy air flow mode, when the air outlet angles of all air deflectors are the same, control each air deflector to start cyclic swinging in sequence according to a continuous and lagging time sequence. That is, the air deflectors do not swing simultaneously but start one by one, forming a wavy air supply effect, making the air flow more natural and smooth, and reducing the discomfort that may be caused by directly blowing on the human body.

[0038] (3) Intelligent adjustment: The control logic in the healthy air flow mode can make corresponding adjustments according to the actual angles of the air deflectors. If the air outlet angles of the air deflectors are not the same, the system will first adjust all air deflectors to the same angle and then execute cyclic swinging, ensuring the consistency and coordination of air supply and further enhancing the comfort of the user experience.

[0039] Through the above methods, compared with the traditional technology, the present invention is better in terms of improving user comfort, optimizing the air flow mode, and intelligent adjustment.

[0040] As Figure 2 shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, after the step of determining whether the air outlet angles of all air deflectors are the same in the healthy air flow mode, it further includes: If they are different, control all air deflectors to swing to the same air outlet angle and control each air deflector to start cyclic swinging in sequence according to a continuous and lagging time sequence.

[0041] In this embodiment, if it is detected that the air outlet angles of air deflectors ①, ②, ③, and ④ are different, the control system will first let these air deflectors swing to the same angle. It can be understood that the above process is based on the position of air deflector ①, and other air deflectors will reset to the same air outlet angle as air deflector ② to ensure that all air deflectors are in a consistent state.

[0042] After the angles of all air deflectors are calibrated to be consistent, the system will control air deflector ① to first enter the automatic swinging mode. Immediately afterwards, air deflector ② will start swinging 3 seconds after air deflector ① starts swinging, and then air deflectors ③ and ④ will also start swinging in turn with a time difference of 3 seconds each. In this way, the four air deflectors will start continuous automatic swinging respectively according to their own rhythms, forming an interleaved swinging mode.

[0043] The design purpose of the above mechanism is as follows: Ensure that even when the initial angles of the air deflectors are different, all air deflectors can be adjusted to the same angle and then start swinging according to the predetermined order and time difference, so as to achieve the effect of uniform distribution of hot and cold air. This method can not only improve the uniformity of air circulation but also enhance comfort and health, avoiding uneven air flow distribution caused by inconsistent air deflector angles, and thus improving the user experience.

[0044] AsFigure 2 As shown, further, the step of controlling each air guide plate to start cyclic swinging in a continuous and delayed time sequence specifically includes: According to the arrangement sequence of the air guide plates in the air conditioner, each air guide plate is controlled to start cyclic swinging in turn.

[0045] In this embodiment, the specific operation process is as follows: First, the system will determine whether the air outlet angles of all air guide plates are consistent. If the angles are consistent, proceed to the next step. Next, the system will control each air guide plate to start cyclic swinging in sequence according to the arrangement order of the air guide plates inside the air conditioner. For example, assuming that there are four air guide plates numbered ①, ②, ③, and ④, then air guide plate ① will start to swing first, and then air guide plate ② will start to swing 3 seconds after air guide plate ① starts to swing, and air guide plate ③ will start to swing 3 seconds later, and air guide plate ④ will also start to swing 3 seconds later. In this way, each air guide plate will start to swing cyclically in sequence according to its arrangement order and with a certain lag time.

[0046] Once all the air guides start to swing according to the above rules, they will continue to swing automatically and continuously according to the predetermined rhythm. This ensures that the air can be evenly distributed to every corner of the room, providing a more uniform, comfortable and healthy airflow experience.

[0047] In this way, through the above method, the system can achieve uniform air flow by controlling the start-up time of each air guide plate, avoiding the air flow concentration effect that may be caused by the simultaneous swinging of all air guide plates, thereby improving the comfort of the entire room.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in the step of controlling each air guide plate to start cyclic swinging in sequence according to the arrangement order of the air guide plates in the air conditioner: the start time intervals of the cyclic swinging of every two adjacent air guide plates are equal.

[0049] For example, suppose there are four air guide plates numbered ①, ②, ③, and ④, and they are arranged in the order of ①, ②, ③, and ④ inside the air conditioner. In the healthy airflow mode, the control system will first determine whether the air outlet angles of all the air guide plates are the same. If they are the same, the control system will control the air guide plates to start cyclic swinging in sequence according to the arrangement order of the air guide plates, and the time interval between the start of the cyclic swinging of every two adjacent air guide plates is equal, such as 3 seconds.

[0050] The specific process is as follows: air guide plate ① starts to swing first; air guide plate ② starts to swing 3 seconds after air guide plate ① starts to swing; air guide plate ③ starts to swing 3 seconds after air guide plate ② starts to swing; air guide plate ④ starts to swing 3 seconds after air guide plate ③ starts to swing.

[0051] In this way, the air deflectors ①, ②, ③, and ④ will start swinging in sequence at intervals of 3 seconds, forming an orderly and balanced cyclic swinging pattern. The above control method enables the cold and hot air to be blown more evenly in all directions of the room, thereby improving comfort and health.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the air conditioner further includes: When the air conditioner is in the cooling mode or the dehumidifying mode, if it is determined that the air conditioner meets the set anti-condensation condition, then control the air deflector of the air conditioner to execute the anti-condensation mode.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is in the cooling mode or the dehumidifying mode, if it is determined that the air conditioner meets the set anti-condensation condition, then the control system will control the air deflector to execute the anti-condensation mode. Here, the "anti-condensation condition" means that in a specific operating mode, the air deflector is located at the position with the minimum air outlet angle for a certain period of time (for example, 30 minutes), and the compressor also runs continuously for the same length of time. Once these conditions are met, the control system will command the air deflector at the minimum air outlet angle to swing several cycles from the current position and then return to the original air outlet angle, so as to prevent condensed water from forming on the surface of the air deflector and avoid the occurrence of condensation.

[0054] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the set anti-condensation condition includes: at least one air deflector is in the position with the minimum air outlet angle and lasts for at least the set anti-condensation duration, and the compressor runs continuously for at least the set anti-condensation duration.

[0055] In this embodiment, the set anti-condensation condition includes two main parts: one is the air deflector condition: at least one air deflector is in the position with the minimum air outlet angle and lasts for at least the set anti-condensation duration. This means that the air deflector needs to stay at a fixed small angle position for a period of time, usually 30 minutes. The other is the compressor condition: the compressor needs to run continuously for at least the set anti-condensation duration, which is also 30 minutes.

[0056] These two conditions need to be met simultaneously to trigger the anti-condensation mode. When both conditions are met, the system will control the air deflector at the minimum air outlet angle to swing 3 cycles from the current position and then return to the original air outlet angle. In this way, it is possible to prevent condensed water from forming on the surface of the air deflector that stays in a fixed position for a long time in the cooling mode or the dehumidifying mode, reduce the occurrence of condensation, thereby protecting the air conditioning system and improving the comfort of users.

[0057] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the anti-condensation mode includes: controlling the air deflector with the minimum air outlet angle to swing cyclically and last for at least the set number of cycles, and resetting to the original air outlet angle.

[0058] It can be understood that the anti-condensation mode includes the following steps: (1) Cyclic swing: When the system detects that at least one air deflector is in the position with the minimum air outlet angle and continues for at least a set anti-condensation duration (e.g., 30 minutes), and at the same time the compressor has also been continuously operating for at least the set anti-condensation duration (also 30 minutes), the system will control the air deflector at the minimum air outlet angle to start cyclic swing. (2) Continuous cycle: The cyclic swing of the air deflector will continue for at least a set number of cycles, e.g., 3 cycles. This means that the air deflector will complete at least 3 back-and-forth swings. (3) Reset to the original position: After completing the specified cyclic swing period, the air deflector will return to the original minimum air outlet angle position.

[0059] In this way, the system can regularly change the position of the air deflector, avoid the formation of condensed water on the surface of the air deflector staying at the minimum air outlet angle for a long time in the cooling or dehumidification mode, thereby reducing the occurrence of condensation phenomena, improving the stability of the air-conditioning system and extending its service life.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the air conditioner further includes: obtaining the current required air supply distance of the air conditioner; controlling the air conditioner to execute different air outlet modes according to the air supply distance. In different air outlet modes, controlling and adjusting the air outlet working parameters of the air conditioner.

[0061] In summary, through these three steps, the intelligent control of the air conditioner is realized, which not only adapts to the usage requirements under different installation distances, but also improves the energy efficiency ratio and user satisfaction through refined parameter adjustment.

[0062] In the related art, traditional air conditioner systems are often relatively fixed in design and control. The setting of the air outlet mode and working parameters mainly depends on the factory preset, and less consideration is given to the specific differences in the installation environment, such as the air supply distance. This "one-size-fits-all" method has several significant problems: First, in different installation environments, the fixed air outlet mode may not achieve the best air circulation and temperature adjustment effects. For example, if a ceiling-mounted air conditioner still adopts a design suitable for short distances, it may cause uneven distribution of cold / hot air, increasing energy consumption and reducing comfort. Second, the lack of adaptive adjustment for the specific installation environment may make users feel uncomfortable phenomena such as direct blowing and uneven temperature in some cases. Third, once a traditional air conditioner system is installed, adjusting the air outlet mode or working parameters usually requires professional operation, which is not flexible and convenient, and is not conducive to users' independent adjustment according to seasonal changes or personal preferences.

[0063] Therefore, in order to solve the technical defects existing in the above related art, the present invention provides the above embodiments, which can automatically adjust the air outlet working state of the air conditioner according to the air supply distance, and this method has at least the following advantages: (1)Distance adaptability: By detecting and responding to the air supply distance in real time, the air outlet mode and working parameters are automatically adjusted, significantly improving the adaptability and efficiency of the air conditioner in different installation environments. This adaptability ensures the best air flow distribution and temperature regulation effect whether at a long distance or a short distance, avoiding the problems of low efficiency and poor comfort caused by the fixed design of traditional air conditioners.

[0064] (2)Enhanced user comfort: The intelligent air outlet mode and delicate parameter adjustment, such as the automatic optimization of air speed and direction, reduce the direct blowing feeling and temperature unevenness, providing a more personalized and comfortable indoor environment for users. Users can enjoy softer or stronger wind power and more precise temperature control according to actual needs.

[0065] (3)Energy conservation and emission reduction: Through the optimized air flow design and precise temperature control strategy, this method can effectively reduce unnecessary energy consumption. Especially when widely applied in commercial and residential environments, it can significantly reduce the overall energy consumption, meeting the requirements of modern green buildings and sustainable development.

[0066] (4)Data-driven optimization: By collecting and analyzing usage data, manufacturers and service providers can better understand user needs, continuously optimize product design and services, and provide more accurate and personalized solutions for users.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the step of controlling the air conditioner to execute different air outlet modes according to the air supply distance specifically includes: When the air supply distance is greater than the first set distance, controlling the air conditioner to execute the long-distance air outlet mode; When the air supply distance is less than or equal to the first set distance and greater than the second set distance, controlling the air conditioner to execute the medium-distance air outlet mode; When the air supply distance is less than or equal to the second set distance, controlling the air conditioner to execute the short-distance air outlet mode.

[0068] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present invention divide the air outlet mode of the air conditioner into three types: long-distance air outlet mode, medium-distance air outlet mode, and short-distance air outlet mode by setting thresholds (the first set distance and the second set distance) for different air supply distances. This method automatically matches the most suitable air outlet strategy according to the actual installation distance, ensuring the efficient operation of the air conditioner and user comfort under various installation conditions.

[0069] Taking the air conditioner as an embedded unit as an example, in the high-hanging air outlet mode, due to the high hanging height of the air conditioner, in this mode, the air conditioner usually adopts wide-angle diffused air outlet to increase the wind force output and the diffusion angle of the wind direction, ensuring effective circulation of indoor air and uniform temperature distribution even at a relatively high installation position. The wind speed is set relatively high to overcome the air flow falling resistance caused by the height, and at the same time, the cooling / heating power may be increased to quickly reach the set temperature.

[0070] For example, in the medium-hanging air outlet mode, the air conditioner may adopt a combination of directional air supply and circulation, and flexibly adjust the wind direction and wind speed according to the indoor layout and personnel activities. Initially, relatively strong wind force may be used to quickly adjust the indoor temperature, and then it may switch to a low-speed circulation mode to keep the air fresh and the temperature stable.

[0071] For example, in the low-hanging air outlet mode, the low-hanging mode emphasizes gentle air supply, reduces the direct blowing feeling, and improves comfort. The wind direction may be adjusted to be slightly downward-tilted, and the wind speed is set at a low to medium level to ensure that the air flow is gentle and evenly distributed, avoiding direct impact of cold / hot air on the human body. In addition, in this mode, the air conditioner may pay more attention to the design of the ground return of the air flow to promote natural convection and improve energy efficiency.

[0072] In this way, through the above hierarchical control strategy, the present invention can provide the most suitable air outlet mode for different installation scenarios, not only improving the energy efficiency ratio of the air conditioner, but also greatly enhancing the user experience, which is an important progress in intelligent and personalized air conditioner control.

[0073] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet working parameters may include parameters such as air outlet wind speed, air outlet angle, and air outlet temperature, etc. The following will introduce the different working parameters in detail.

[0074] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, if the air outlet working parameters of the air conditioner include the air outlet wind speed, then the steps of controlling and adjusting the air outlet working parameters of the air conditioner in different air outlet modes specifically include: In the long-distance air outlet mode, control the air outlet wind speed of the air conditioner to be adjusted within the first wind speed range; In the medium-distance air outlet mode, control the air outlet wind speed of the air conditioner to be adjusted within the second wind speed range; In the short-distance air outlet mode, control the air outlet wind speed of the air conditioner to be adjusted within the third wind speed range.

[0075] Wherein, the first wind speed range is greater than the second wind speed range, and the second wind speed range is greater than the third wind speed range.

[0076] It can be understood that in the long-distance air supply mode: Since the air conditioner is installed at a relatively high position, in order to overcome the influence of gravity and ensure that the cold / hot air can effectively cover the entire room, especially reach the ground area, a relatively large wind force is required. Therefore, the first wind speed range is set relatively large, which helps to quickly form an indoor air circulation, prevent cold and heat stratification, and quickly reach the set temperature. The increase in wind speed also compensates for the loss of kinetic energy of the airflow falling due to the increase in distance.

[0077] In the medium-distance air supply mode: When the installation distance is moderate, the air conditioner does not require as large a wind force as in the long-distance case to effectively distribute the air. At the same time, considering the sensitivity of the human body to the wind feeling at medium distances, the second wind speed range is set within an interval smaller than that in the long-distance case. This can not only meet the need to quickly adjust the indoor temperature but also ensure a gentle wind speed, avoid discomfort caused by direct blowing, and improve comfort.

[0078] In the short-distance air supply mode: When the air conditioner is installed close to the ground or above furniture, too large a wind speed is likely to cause discomfort to the human body, and it is easier to achieve temperature control for short-distance air supply. Therefore, the third wind speed range is set to be the smallest, and low-speed air supply is preferred to ensure a gentle and uniform airflow, reduce noise, and at the same time avoid overcooling or overheating through precise control, improving the comfort of the local area.

[0079] In summary, through such a design, the air conditioning system can intelligently adjust the wind speed according to the actual air supply distance, which not only ensures the air conditioning efficiency but also optimizes the user experience, reflecting the delicate adaptability to different installation environments and in-depth understanding of user needs. The setting of different wind speed ranges is based on a comprehensive consideration of aerodynamics, thermodynamics, and human comfort, ensuring efficient, energy-saving, and comfortable indoor environment adjustment under various installation conditions.

[0080] In some other specific embodiments of the present invention, the air supply working parameters of the air conditioner include the air supply action of the air deflector. Then, in different air supply modes, the steps of controlling and adjusting the air supply working parameters of the air conditioner specifically include: In the long-distance air supply mode, control the air deflector of the air conditioner to swing to the maximum air supply angle to perform a wide-angle diffusion operation; In the medium-distance air supply mode, control the air deflector of the air conditioner to swing to a preset air supply angle and remain unchanged, and after the indoor temperature reaches the target temperature, control the air deflector to swing at a constant speed to perform a circulating air supply operation; In the short-distance air supply mode, control the air deflector of the air conditioner to swing to an angle facing the indoor wall to perform a ground return promotion operation.

[0081] It can be understood that in the case of long distances, in order to ensure that the air can effectively cover the entire room, the air deflector swings to the maximum air outlet angle (usually close to 180 degrees) to achieve wide-angle diffusion operation. This can quickly spread the cold / hot air throughout the space, reduce temperature stratification, and accelerate the temperature adjustment speed. Wide-angle diffusion can also promote large-scale mixing of air and improve overall comfort.

[0082] For example, in an office with a supply air distance of 4 meters, after the air conditioner is started, the air deflector automatically unfolds to the maximum angle and, in combination with strong wind force, quickly spreads the cold air evenly throughout the open space to achieve rapid cooling.

[0083] When installed at a medium distance, the air conditioner may first use an air deflector with a fixed preset angle to concentrate the air supply to quickly reach the set indoor temperature. Once the temperature reaches the standard, the air deflector starts to swing at a constant speed to perform cyclic air supply operation, which helps to maintain a uniform indoor temperature, reduce the formation of cold / hot areas, and at the same time promote the fresh circulation of air and improve indoor air quality.

[0084] For example, in a bedroom, the air conditioner is installed on a wall 2.5 meters high. When initially started, the air deflector is fixed at an angle suitable for quickly adjusting the indoor temperature. After the temperature approaches the set value, the air deflector starts to swing slowly to perform low-speed cyclic air supply to create a soft and stable sleeping environment.

[0085] At a short distance, the air deflector is adjusted to an angle facing the indoor wall to promote air return using the ground effect. This design can avoid direct blowing on the human body, and at the same time, using the characteristics of air flowing along the wall and the ground, it promotes the cold / hot air to form a return flow near the ground, enhances natural convection, improves energy efficiency, and also increases the comfort of the human body.

[0086] For example, in a corner of the living room, the air conditioner is installed close to the ground, and the air deflector is set to tilt slightly downward. The wind force is gentle, and the air flow slowly rises along the wall and then returns through the ground, effectively avoiding direct blowing on the rest area and creating a warm and comfortable home atmosphere.

[0087] In this way, through the intelligent control of the air deflector in the above different air outlet modes, the present invention realizes the fine adjustment of the air supply effect in various installation environments, takes into account both efficiency and comfort, and demonstrates the intelligent and user-friendly trend of air conditioner design.

[0088] In some other specific embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet operating parameters of the air conditioner include the air outlet temperature. Then, the steps of controlling and adjusting the air outlet operating parameters of the air conditioner in different air outlet modes specifically include: Obtain the target adjustment temperature preset by the user for the air conditioner; According to the current required air supply mode and temperature adjustment mode of the air conditioner, finely adjust the target adjustment temperature to obtain the target air supply temperature, and control the air conditioner to supply air at the target air supply temperature.

[0089] In this embodiment, the system intelligently fine-tunes the target temperature preset by the user according to the current air supply mode (long distance, medium distance, short distance). This is because the air flow characteristics, air circulation efficiency, and the differences in human temperature perception at different air supply distances will affect the actual comfort experience. Among them, the fine-tuning algorithm is based on a large amount of experimental data and the human comfort model, considering various factors such as wind speed, wind direction, indoor ambient temperature, and humidity, to ensure that the air supply temperature can be closest to the comfortable feeling expected by the user in any air supply mode.

[0090] Further, when the temperature adjustment mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, the step of finely adjusting the target adjustment temperature to obtain the target air supply temperature according to the current required air supply mode and temperature adjustment mode of the air conditioner specifically includes: In the long-distance air supply mode, it is determined that the target air supply temperature is higher than the target adjustment temperature; In the medium-distance air supply mode, it is determined that the target air supply temperature is equal to the target adjustment temperature; In the short-distance air supply mode, it is determined that the target air supply temperature is lower than the target adjustment temperature.

[0091] It can be understood that since hot air naturally rises, when the long-distance air conditioner is heating, the hot air is likely to accumulate at the top of the room and is not easily transmitted downward quickly. To effectively counter this phenomenon, the system will set the target air supply temperature higher than the target adjustment temperature set by the user. This is done so that when the hot air gradually sinks and mixes, the final indoor temperature reaches the user's expected temperature, ensuring a warm and uniform space throughout.

[0092] When installed at a medium distance, the hot air delivery of the air conditioner is more direct, and the hot air distribution is relatively balanced. Therefore, the target air supply temperature is set equal to the user's target adjustment temperature, so that heating can be directly carried out according to the user's setting, and at the same time, through appropriate control of the wind speed and wind direction, the stability and comfort of the indoor temperature are maintained.

[0093] In addition, for the short-distance air conditioner in the heating mode, the hot air can be directly delivered to the human activity area with high efficiency. To avoid overheating and energy waste, the system will set the target air supply temperature slightly lower than the target adjustment temperature set by the user. This is because the hot air at a lower position is easier to feel warm, and a lower air supply temperature can reach or slightly exceed the user's expected indoor temperature, while ensuring a higher energy efficiency ratio and comfort.

[0094] Through these differentiated and refined fine-tuning strategies, the air conditioner can efficiently and precisely adjust the outlet air temperature according to its installation distance and heating mode, ensuring that the ideal indoor warming effect can be quickly and comfortably achieved in different environments. Meanwhile, it optimizes energy usage and enhances user satisfaction.

[0095] Further, when the temperature adjustment mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode, the step of fine-tuning the target adjustment temperature to obtain the target outlet air temperature according to the current required outlet air mode and temperature adjustment mode of the air conditioner specifically includes: In the long-distance outlet air mode, it is determined that the target outlet air temperature is lower than the target adjustment temperature; In the medium-distance outlet air mode, it is determined that the target outlet air temperature is equal to the target adjustment temperature; In the short-distance outlet air mode, it is determined that the target outlet air temperature is higher than the target adjustment temperature.

[0096] In this embodiment, at a long distance, in order to overcome the influence of gravity and ensure that the cold air can effectively sink and be evenly distributed throughout the room, the system will set the target outlet air temperature lower than the target adjustment temperature set by the user. In this way, even if the air warms up slightly during the falling process, it can still reach or exactly reach the desired cool temperature of the user when it reaches the ground, effectively avoiding cold and hot stratification.

[0097] In the medium-distance air conditioner in the cooling mode, the distance between the air outlet and the human activity area is moderate, and the cold air distribution is relatively balanced. Therefore, the target outlet air temperature is set equal to the target adjustment temperature of the user, and cooling is directly performed according to the set value. At the same time, through reasonable control of the wind speed and direction, it is ensured that the indoor temperature is uniform and comfortable.

[0098] At a short distance, the cold air directly approaches the human body. To prevent over-cooling and discomfort caused by direct blowing, the system will set the target outlet air temperature slightly higher than the target adjustment temperature set by the user. Even so, due to the direct action of the cold air at a low position, the actual felt indoor temperature can still meet or be close to the temperature requirement set by the user, while enhancing the comfort during use.

[0099] In this way, through the above fine-tuning strategy, the air conditioner in the cooling mode can more precisely control the outlet air temperature according to its installation distance, quickly achieve the ideal indoor cooling effect, avoid discomfort caused by over-cooling or direct cold air blowing, and optimize the user's comfort experience and the energy efficiency performance of the system.
