[0026] Figure 1 is one of the schematic flowcharts of the method for adjusting the indoor environmental humidity by the air conditioner provided by the present invention.

[0027] Figure 2 is the second schematic flowchart of the method for adjusting the indoor environmental humidity by the air conditioner provided by the present invention.

[0028] Figure 3 is the schematic structural diagram of the device for adjusting the indoor environmental humidity by the air conditioner provided by the present invention.

[0029] Figure 4 is the schematic structural diagram of the electronic device provided by the present invention. Detailed Embodiments

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] The existing air conditioners have the following main problems in humidification: First, they cannot humidify accurately according to the actual situation of the indoor environment and the specific needs of users; second, the humidification effect is unstable, and it is easy to have the situation of over-humidification or under-humidification; third, they lack intelligent control means and cannot realize functions such as automatic adjustment and fault warning. These problems have seriously affected the performance of air conditioners in adjusting the comfort of the indoor environment and also restricted their application in a wider range of fields.

[0032] The following will be combined with Figures 1-4 Specifically describe the embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] Figure 1 It is one of the schematic flowcharts of the method for an air conditioner provided by the present invention to adjust the indoor environment humidity. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps: S110. After the air conditioner is turned on and running, detect whether an instruction to turn on the humidification function is received.

[0034] Specifically, after the air conditioner is turned on and running, its built-in control system will immediately start a monitoring program. The main task of this program is to continuously detect whether an instruction to turn on the humidification function is received from the user operation interface, intelligent remote control, mobile phone APP or other intelligent devices. When the user issues an instruction to turn on the humidification in any way, this monitoring program will immediately capture this signal and transmit it to the main control system of the air conditioner for subsequent processing and judgment. This step ensures that the air conditioner can accurately and timely respond to the user's demand for the humidification function.

[0035] S120. If an instruction to turn on the humidification function is received, then judge whether the water level in the humidifier water tank meets the humidification requirement.

[0036] According to a method for an air conditioner provided by the present invention to adjust the indoor environment humidity, after detecting whether an instruction to turn on the humidification function is received, if the instruction to turn on the humidification function is not received, the air conditioner operates in the normal mode.

[0037] Specifically, when the control system of the air conditioner receives an instruction to turn on the humidification function, it will further trigger a water level detection program. This program uses a water level sensor to continuously monitor the current water level in the humidifier water tank. The control system will compare the detected water level value with the water level threshold required for the preset humidification requirement. At the same time, according to the method for adjusting the indoor environmental humidity of the air conditioner provided by the present invention, if the control system does not receive an instruction to turn on the humidification function, the air conditioner will continue to operate in the normal mode set by the user before. This indicates that the air conditioner will adjust the indoor environment according to the current ambient temperature, the temperature set by the user, and other possible parameters (such as wind speed, wind direction, etc.), but will not activate the humidification function.

[0038] By automatically detecting the water level in the humidifier water tank, the present invention can ensure that there is sufficient water in the water tank before the humidification function is started, thus avoiding problems such as poor humidification effect or equipment damage caused by insufficient water level. When the user does not issue an instruction to turn on the humidification function, the air conditioner can continue to operate in the normal mode, ensuring that the user can flexibly choose whether to use the humidification function according to actual needs, while not affecting the basic operation and temperature adjustment function of the air conditioner. Through intelligent water level detection and flexible mode switching, the present invention not only improves the reliability and safety of the humidification function of the air conditioner, but also enables the user to obtain a more convenient and comfortable experience during use.

[0039] S130. When the water level meets the humidification requirement, further determine whether the current indoor environmental humidity reaches the humidity value preset by the user.

[0040] According to the method for adjusting the indoor environmental humidity of an air conditioner provided by the present invention, after determining whether the current indoor environmental humidity reaches the humidity value preset by the user, if the current indoor environmental humidity is higher than or equal to the preset humidity value, the air conditioner operates in the normal mode.

[0041] Specifically, after confirming that the water level in the humidifier water tank meets the humidification requirement, the control system of the air conditioner will further activate the humidity detection mechanism. Through the built-in humidity sensor or an external humidity detection device, the system will continuously obtain the humidity data of the current indoor environment. Then, the control system will compare the detected humidity value with the humidity value preset by the user. If the user does not preset a humidity value, the system will use a default comfortable humidity range as a reference. This comparison process is to determine whether the current indoor humidity has reached or exceeded the level expected by the user.

[0042] Meanwhile, after determining the current indoor environmental humidity, if it is found that the humidity is already higher than or equal to the humidity value preset by the user, then the air conditioner will not activate the humidification function but continue to operate in the normal mode. In the normal mode, the air conditioner will perform operations such as cooling, heating, or air supply according to the indoor temperature and the user's settings, but will not perform humidification because the current humidity already meets the user's requirements.

[0043] By detecting the indoor humidity in real time and comparing it with the user's preset value, the present invention can ensure that the humidification function is only activated when the humidity is lower than the user's expected value, thereby achieving precise control of the indoor humidity. When the indoor humidity has reached or exceeded the user's preset value, the air conditioner will not activate the humidification function, which helps to save energy and reduce unnecessary equipment operation, in line with the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection. By intelligently adjusting the indoor humidity according to the user's needs, it can create a more comfortable and healthy living environment for the user, especially in dry seasons or regions. The user only needs to preset a humidity value, and the air conditioner can automatically decide whether to activate the humidification function according to the current humidity situation, greatly simplifying the user's operation steps.

[0044] S140: If the current indoor environmental humidity is lower than the preset humidity value, then activate the humidifier for humidification.

[0045] Specifically, the user needs to set a preset humidity value on the humidifier control system or the relevant smart home platform according to their own needs or the requirements of the indoor environment. This value can be a fixed number or a dynamic value that changes according to conditions such as time and weather.

[0046] Place a humidity sensor in the indoor environment. The sensor can detect the humidity level of the current environment in real time and send the detected humidity data to the humidifier control system. After receiving the data sent by the humidity sensor, the humidifier control system will compare the humidity value of the current indoor environment with the preset humidity value. If the control system determines that the humidity of the current indoor environment is lower than the preset humidity value, it will automatically trigger a humidification instruction to activate the humidifier for humidification operation. The humidifier will adjust its working state according to the control system's instruction to release an appropriate amount of water vapor into the indoor environment, thereby increasing the environmental humidity. During the humidification process, the humidity sensor will continuously monitor the humidity change in the indoor environment and feedback the real-time data to the control system. The control system dynamically adjusts the working state of the humidifier according to the feedback data to ensure that the indoor humidity can be stably maintained near the preset humidity value.

[0047] Through preset humidity values and real-time humidity detection, automatic adjustment of the indoor environmental humidity is achieved without manual operation by the user, improving the convenience of use. Through continuous humidity monitoring and dynamic adjustment of the humidifier's working state, it can ensure that the indoor humidity is accurately maintained near the preset value, meeting the user's precise requirements for the indoor environmental humidity. Appropriate humidity is crucial for human health and comfort. This embodiment can effectively avoid problems such as dry skin and respiratory discomfort caused by too low indoor humidity, improving the living quality of the occupants.

[0048] S150. After the humidifier is started, continuously monitor the humidity of the current indoor environment to ensure that the indoor humidity is maintained within the range preset by the user.

[0049] Specifically, after the humidifier is started, the system enters the continuous monitoring mode. At this time, the humidity sensor continuously collects the humidity data of the current indoor environment and transmits these data to the humidifier control system in real time. After receiving the data, the control system immediately compares it with the humidity range preset by the user. If it is found that the indoor humidity is lower than the lower limit of the preset range, the control system will instruct the humidifier to increase the humidification amount; if the indoor humidity is higher than the upper limit of the preset range, it will instruct the humidifier to reduce the humidification amount or temporarily turn off. In this way, through continuous monitoring and dynamic adjustment, the system can ensure that the indoor humidity is always stable within the range preset by the user.

[0050] By continuously monitoring the humidity of the current indoor environment and adjusting the working state of the humidifier in real time, it can ensure that the indoor humidity is stably maintained within the range preset by the user. This not only provides a comfortable and healthy living environment for the user, but also effectively avoids damage to household items caused by excessive humidity fluctuations. At the same time, this intelligent humidity management method also saves the user's time and energy for manual adjustment, improving the convenience and quality of life.

[0051] S160. Continuously detect whether the water in the humidifier water tank meets the requirements, and perform corresponding operations when the water level is detected to be insufficient.

[0052] According to a method for an air conditioner to adjust the indoor environmental humidity provided by the present invention, the "performing corresponding operations when the water level is detected to be insufficient" specifically includes: when it is detected that the water level does not meet the humidification requirements, start the water addition pump to supply water to the humidifier water tank through an external water circuit, and at the same time detect whether the water level meets the requirements through a water level gauge; if the water level reaches the requirements after water addition, continue to execute according to the conditions for meeting the humidification requirements; if the water level does not change within the preset time after water addition, it is determined that the humidifier is faulty and the machine is stopped.

[0053] Specifically, the humidifier system continuously detects the water level in the water tank through the built-in water level sensor. Once it is found that the water level is lower than the lowest water level line required to meet the humidification requirement, the system immediately starts the water filling pump and automatically fills the humidifier water tank with water using the external water circuit. During the water filling process, the water level gauge monitors the water level change in real time to ensure that the water level meets the humidification requirement. If the water level reaches the preset standard after water filling, the humidifier will continue to work normally; however, if the water level does not change within the preset time after water filling, the system determines that the humidifier may be malfunctioning and automatically shuts down to prevent possible damage or safety hazards.

[0054] By automatically detecting and replenishing the water level in the humidifier water tank, the continuous and stable operation of the humidifier is ensured, and the humidification interruption caused by insufficient water level is avoided. At the same time, through the detection of the water level change within the preset time, the system can timely detect and handle possible faults, improving the reliability and safety of the humidifier. This intelligent water level management method not only extends the service life of the humidifier but also provides a more convenient and worry-free user experience.

[0055] According to a method for adjusting the indoor environmental humidity provided by the present invention, during the operation of the air conditioner, an instruction for the user to adjust the preset humidity value in real time is received; after receiving the new humidity setting value, the humidification rate or the on / off state of the humidifier is automatically adjusted according to the difference between the current indoor humidity and the setting value.

[0056] Specifically, during the operation of the air conditioner, the system continuously listens for the user's instruction input. When the user wants to adjust the indoor humidity, a new humidity setting value can be sent to the air conditioner through the control panel, mobile application, or other remote control devices. Once the system receives the new humidity value set by the user, it immediately obtains the real-time data of the current indoor humidity and calculates the difference from the new setting value. According to this difference, the system automatically adjusts the humidification rate of the humidifier, such as increasing or decreasing the amount of water vapor released, or adjusts the on / off state of the humidifier according to the demand to ensure that the indoor humidity can quickly and smoothly reach the new humidity value set by the user.

[0057] This function of adjusting the humidity in real time gives the user greater flexibility and control, enabling them to adjust the indoor humidity at any time according to personal needs and comfort. The system can quickly respond to these adjustments and ensure that the indoor environment is always maintained at the humidity level expected by the user by intelligently adjusting the operating state of the humidifier.

[0058] According to a method for adjusting the indoor environmental humidity provided by the present invention, when the humidifier is operating, the water mist ejected by the humidifier is sterilized by integrating an ultraviolet germicidal lamp or an ozone generator; in combination with a temperature and humidity sensor and an air quality monitoring sensor, the indoor environmental data is comprehensively analyzed, and the operating mode of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the environmental data.

[0059] Specifically, by integrating an ultraviolet germicidal lamp or an ozone generator, when the humidifier is working, the sprayed water mist will pass through the ultraviolet germicidal lamp, and the ultraviolet rays emitted by this lamp can effectively kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the water mist, ensuring that no harmful microorganisms are introduced during the humidification process. At the same time, the ozone generator will generate an appropriate amount of ozone, which combines with the water mist to further enhance the sterilization effect and helps to remove the peculiar smell in the indoor air. In addition, the system is also combined with temperature and humidity sensors and air quality monitoring sensors to monitor the indoor temperature, humidity and air quality in real time. According to these comprehensive data, the working mode of the air conditioner will be intelligently adjusted to ensure that the indoor environment is both comfortable and healthy.

[0060] By integrating ultraviolet sterilization and an ozone generator, the water mist sprayed by the humidifier has been effectively sterilized, thus greatly reducing the content of bacteria and viruses in the indoor air and improving the sanitation standard of the living environment. At the same time, combined with multi-dimensional data of temperature, humidity and air quality, the air conditioner can adjust the indoor environment more precisely, not only providing comfortable temperature and humidity conditions, but also ensuring the freshness and health of the air.

[0061] According to a method for an air conditioner to adjust the indoor environment humidity provided by the present invention, the air conditioner predicts the humidity change trend in a future period according to the indoor and outdoor temperature difference, the indoor humidity change rate and historical data; based on the prediction result, the operation time and humidification rate of the humidifier are intelligently adjusted; when it is predicted that the indoor humidity will be maintained within the user preset range for a long time in the future, the air conditioner automatically enters the low-power standby state, and when it is detected that the indoor humidity deviates from the preset range, it resumes to the normal working state.

[0062] Specifically, by collecting and analyzing the indoor and outdoor temperature difference data, the real-time change rate of indoor humidity, and the past humidity change historical data. Using these data, through the built-in prediction algorithm or machine learning model, the air conditioner can predict the humidity change trend in a future period. Based on this prediction result, the control system of the air conditioner will intelligently adjust the operation strategy of the humidifier, including the operation time and humidification rate of the humidifier, to ensure that the indoor humidity can be stably maintained within the user preset range. When the system predicts that the indoor humidity will be stably maintained within the preset range in a future period, in order to save energy, the air conditioner will automatically switch to the low-power standby state. At the same time, the system will continuously monitor the indoor humidity. Once it is detected that the humidity begins to deviate from the user preset range, the air conditioner will immediately resume to the normal working state to ensure the stable control of indoor humidity.

[0063] By predicting the future humidity change trend and intelligently adjusting the humidification strategy, not only the accuracy and stability of indoor humidity control are improved, but also the energy utilization efficiency is significantly enhanced. During low humidity demand periods, the air conditioner can automatically enter a low-power standby state, thus effectively reducing energy consumption and operating costs while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.

[0064] As Figure 2 shown is a flowchart of a method for an air conditioner to adjust the indoor environment humidity provided by the present invention. After the air conditioner is turned on and runs, it first detects whether the humidification function is turned on. If it is not turned on, the machine starts up normally. If the humidification function is turned on, the water level in the humidifier water tank can be used to determine whether the water level meets the requirements. ① If the water level meets the requirements, it is determined whether the current ambient humidity reaches the current set humidity. If it is higher than or equal to the current set humidity, the machine starts up normally. If it is lower than the current set humidity, the humidifier is turned on, and at the same time, the current air humidity is monitored through a humidity sensor. ② If the water level does not meet the current requirements, the water supply pump is turned on to supply water through an external water circuit, and at the same time, the water level is detected through the water level gauge. After the water level reaches the requirements, the next step is normally started. If the water level does not change after 2 minutes, a humidifier failure shutdown is reported.

[0065] The following describes the device for an air conditioner to adjust the indoor environment humidity provided by the present invention. The device for an air conditioner to adjust the indoor environment humidity described below can be correspondingly referred to the method for an air conditioner to adjust the indoor environment humidity described above.
